Eraden AU time! Specifically western hehe

In this version my beloved son Barkri works as a deputy in southern provinces of Arabey, and stuff happens leading him to end up way up north than he expected to. At least he gets to meet his homie then, since in this version he didn't really get to it before.

His cowboy toyhouse is due for an update, as Spoon and I did develop more stuff for this setting that needs to be added. Depicted above is kinda self explanatory, just a first draft ref kinda deal for his clothes and looks during what will hopefully be a whole story.

#cowboy #western #AU #dark country #snow western #anthro #eraden #eradenart #art #reference #so proud of the tail sock idea still

Ravenous

The first half of Antonia Bird’s RAVENOUS (1999, Criterion Channel through midnight) is so likably quirky it’s almost a crime yet somehow inevitable that the second half can’t quite live up to it. Disgraced soldier Guy Pearce is sent to a broken-down fort in the Sierra Nevadas during the Mexican-American War. The commanding officer (Jeffery Jones) is a bookish non-entity, his second (Stephen Spinella) drinks his posting away, one private (Neal McDonough) is a military fanatic, another (Jeremy Davies) a religious crank and a third (David Arquette) a druggie. One night a mysterious man (Robert Carlyle) stumbles in with a story of having escaped a stranded wagon train that had turned to cannibalism. Jones leads a ragtag troop to see if there are any survivors, and it’s all delicious fun. This isn’t the mythic West of John Ford; it’s more a hip improv on American history. When the rescue party gets there, things go a bit off the rails. The mission ends in violence, and it doesn’t have the comic zing of the earlier scenes. The second half also features philosophical discussions that go on a bit too long, as do some of the fight scenes. The suggestion that Manifest Destiny is a form of cannibalism is intriguing and there’s a great little detail in that the first person on the wagon train to succumb to malnutrition is a black servant, a bit of systemic racism that matches with the main theme. The cast is solid, and listening to John Spencer, as a narrow-minded general, deliver period dialog is a particular joy (it was his last theatrical feature). Michael Nyman and David Albern supplied the eclectic score with echoes of American folk music and Native American chants. Slovakia and Mexico do a great job playing California.

Skeleton time babye

these guys really needed a revamp so here they are :>

lore under cut

Papyrus is technically the deputy sheriff to undyne but she really doesn't let him do much, its more of a title than a job honestly. He keeps trying to prove himself to her by doing risky things to show that he is capable, he's a strong skeleton!

I wanted to give him a classic cowboy look, almost like if someone was dressing up as a sheriff, since his battle body in game is a costume. he has tassels because they look very cool and he is cool. and His special blue attack is a lasso!

Sans is just a guy lmao no fancy title, he is kinda a jack of trade around town though. everyone loves him and he knows pretty much everyone in town on a first name basis. He helps other monsters with their work and and has weaseled himself into getting free drinks at Grillbys.

Sans mended his clothes himself, I like to think both the brothers are very DIY focused honestly. Forgot to note this on the sheet but the brown lower part of the jacket is leather. The ends kept getting dirty and he got tired of washing it.

he sells corn dogs instead of hotdogs, honestly I have no good reason for this it just felt right.

#my art #westerntale #utmv #my utmv art #western au #undertale au #there may be a secret if you look hard enough #It was a struggle doing Papy #I didnt want to make him super complicated but at the same time I wanted to put flames and spikes all over him #still thinking of if snowdin should get a name change or not #because there is not really any snow in it now lmao

HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW SNOW WHITE'S DESIGN IS THE MOST DIFICULT TO RECREATE?

@themousefromfantasyland @princesssarisa

@faintingheroine @thealmightyemprex

So, seeing the Disney Princesses magazines, books and merchandising over the years, I felt that most of the princesses, if correcting some details, could easily be made to look exactly like they looked in their original movies (for example, coloring Cinderella's hair and dress from golden blonde and blue scheme to strawberry blonde and silver-white scheme).

There is only one exception: Snow White, while close to the design of her movie counterpart, always felt... like something was of, but I couldn't articulate why.

The black hair and ribbon were there, along with the color scheme of the dress, I should be seeing the same character, right?

Then, revisiting the movie, its behind the scenes production designs, and images of merchandise, I could notice that there were differences:

Notice how the eyelids are more heavy, the waist is more realistic, and the cheeks are more round in the screencap of the 1937 animated movie, while in a book illustration recreating the story, the eyelids are lighter instead of heavy, the waist is thinner, and the face lacks the chubby cheeks.

The hair in the 1937 is raven dark, while in the merchandise, it receives a blue shinning.

The nose is less defined in the 1937 animated movie, while in the merchandise, she is drawn with a perfectly, well defined nose.

In the 1937 movie, you can say that since it was still the animators first foray with realistic drawn, and moving human cell animated characters, with the priority being making the character move in a expressive way, while they still had a basis for how the character would look like, that they were still creating the character as they animated her.

So in the actual movie, you can see her as a human character who is still raw, rustic... some contemporary viewers could even brand her as "ugly" or "weird".

But to me, those imperfections, born from the animators embracing their limitations with this early work in realistic human characters, make her more expressive, lively... they make her more human, beautiful in her imperfections.

Most artists working in the Princesses movies, shows and merchandising today, don't have to embrace the same limitations the 1937 animators had no choice but embrace.

So they can only work in making shining, more polished redesigns as A representation of Snow White... but they probably can't recreate the rustic, charming imperfections of the original Snow White.

Their technology, and medium is not designed for that.

Okay, so what's happening in Palestine and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes/The Hunger Games have been on my mind lately (it's really all I think about, but okay), and I was thinking about the State of Nature of human beings and society as a whole and I got to some points to take out of my heart:

I've always been told that the world is a bad place, that the world is dark and bleak, the whole circus, and the first actual conversation I remember having about this was with my dad:

We had just left the theaters after watching Joker and I remember being really shocked and taken aback by the raw violence in it - not only the physical violence, but the underlying violence as well, the cruelty of it all - and my father saw this. I remember him saying in a kind of patronizing way that "that's the world" and that was the first time I remember being reluctant to accept that as a fact.

The second time I was put in contact with that point of view about the world was actually with my therapist: I was leaving an abusive relationship and I'm not sure whether she was referencing the abusive person's way of thinking or making a point to me about it, but she said that the world was cruel and egotistical. And once again I felt this really strong reluctance to accept that.

And it was only now, with TBOSAS and Palestine, that I finally pieced it together: I was reluctant because even if the world - the social and economic system we were raised in, the very system that depends on inequality and unfairness to prevail - is a bleak and cruel and unforgiving world, the same is not true at all for people because every time I look at people, there is always - amidst greed and cruelty and ignorance - someone, a lot of someones really, who stand up and do the right thing, like Katniss, or who is kind and protest in their own way, like Peeta.

I've read somewhere as well that anthropology has one main and silent principle: that people have always been people, in the sense that there were always people who loved each other so very much they were willing to die for them (it doesn't matter how different our concept of love is) but there were also people who drew dicks in walls because they were bored. And I know that has nothing to do with TBOSAS and the whole thing I was talking about in the beginning but bear with me for a second, I'll lead this back to where we started, okay?

When the Titanic was sinking (and I learned that from ashling on TikTok, okay) there was an ongoing stream of messages being sent everywhere in the seas that can be translated into messages of help, of worry, of discussions on how to help the Titanic and the people there, but not only that, the ship that rescued the people from Titanic, the Carpathia, actually almost burnt their engines trying to speed to the last coordinates of the Titanic so they could help out without thinking twice.

And that really struck me, not only because it's obviously a take on human kindness but because it resonates with what I was told before: the world is bleak - the very tale of the Titanic is the greed that created the catastrophe. But in the middle of that, around all of it, there are so many tales of compassion, humanity, and kindness that it's overwhelming, not only for the ships around the Titanic but in the very ship as well, like the musicians that stayed and played to the end to comfort the people.

And again, that reminds me of Palestine, how it's being destroyed by greed for oil and gas, how it's being destroyed by a belief system that dehumanizes Palestinian people. And still, in the middle of all of that, we see every day the Palestinian people fighting any way they can in the kindest of ways, by giving food to people even if they have little of it because they know their neighbors are starving, by going to bombarded places where there's shrapnel and rubble everywhere in flipflops and with no gear on because people need saving, by staying in occupied hospitals because their patients need them.

The courage of it all, the kindness, the fairness, and faith - it's all so Good it's almost suffocating. But more than that: the humanity with which we saw H'mmas' hostages being treated by them, the millions of people protesting everywhere in the entire world, the people crying all over TikTok, the people who are making themselves sick of preoccupation over those millions of people in Gaza and the West Bank. I look at this and it made me realize that the world might be dark, it might be cruel and unforgiving, but people are not.

And I stand for this: when it comes down to the people, we are good.

And it's really maddening to think about Snow and his own view of the world and how he thinks people at their very core are evil and therefore refuses to be influenced by every evidence of the contrary, by every tribute which shows kindness and compassion in the Arena, by every act of love and selflessness throughout not only his own book but The Hunger Games trilogy as well because it's how some people really view the world and project this to humans.

He refuses to see the humanity in Lucy Gray coming back to save him after the bombing of the Arena, or the humanity of Lamina killing Marcus out of mercy, or Reaper's insistence on remaining kind to Dill as well as the other fallen tributes. He refuses to see the kindness in Sejanus' insistence on honoring Marcus with their district traditions, the deep empathy and regret in Dean Highbottom for his own foolishness, or even Tigris's selfless acts to support her family in every way she could.

He refuses to see the kindness, the goodness, the selflessness in the middle of the dark and cruel environment - world - the Capitol had created for all of them.

But people have always been people, we've always been the Kindness, the goodness that makes us protest and boycott, the empathy that makes us sick at having to bear witness to such horrors that are being done to our own. And that's because - as I referenced in my other essay about this - we humans thrive on community.

When we talk about our State of Nature, I genuinely believe that, if we were in fact evil in our cores, we'd be unable to form communities because they can only be formed through connection. And the more I see people, the more I see attempt, after attempt, after attempt to connect with people any way we can: could be through our phones, watching and bearing witness to the pain of others; through our protests and marches, screaming for our own to be saved because we know they're hurting; we are, everywhere at every time, connecting with people, even people when shouldn't be connecting with - like villains such as Snow.

And I think the first weapon of brainwashing beliefs such as fascism, nazism, and Zionism, is the suffocation of our children's ability to connect - with a targeted group, at first, but then everyone else that protects or "sides" with the targeted groups. As I typed that, I remembered a video I saw of Israeli kids being taught a song about destroying Gaza and its people by their mother.

And that's so sad for so many reasons, but especially because the suffocation of our children's ability to connect is the very doom of their existence - not only because it's isolating but also because we only thrive when we cooperate, since the beginning of our History. To suffocate our ability to empathize is to doom them to a very isolated and fearing-based life, it's why great empires based on dictatorships have always fallen - because connected people do not betray, connected people do not falter in their loyalty, but people who are only together out of collaboration - like the careers, or the US and Israel? To gain something from it?

They cheat and betray, and that's no basis for a thriving society..

It's ironic, really.

Appalachian Snow Folklore ❄️

•Birds active and flying low, beware of a coming snow.

•Chimney smoke hugging the ground; there snow will soon be found.

•When the ground and grass is dry at morning light, expect snow before the night.

•When heavy frost is on the grass, snow seldom comes to pass.

•When the moon carries a halo, it’s a sign of coming snow.

•When there’s lots of snow, a fruitful crop will often grow.

•Rabbits moving on a winter day, a heavy snow is on the way.

•If snow lays on the ground for 3 days it’s waiting for another snow.

•When dimmer stars disappear, rain or snow is quite near.

•When clouds move against the wind, Rain or snow is around the bend.

•When hornets build their nest’s extra high; Look for snow nearing your thigh.

•If snow on the ground won’t melt, it’s waiting for more snow, or it’s calling it in.

•If snow sticks to the sides of trees, another snow will come in 48 hours.

•If the sun shines while it’s raining or snowing, it’ll come again the same time tomorrow.

•If there is no snow in January, snow will come in March or April.

(From the Foxfire Book. Banner Elk, North in Avery County)
