Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #if you’ve ever had to wear body paint that stuff can be UNCOMFORTABLE #AND to hold that pose for so long - not moving a muscle even when they first started falling?#as humorous as this is it is no joke highly impressive #I also love the implication that they disguised Leo SO FAST that Big Mama JUST finished with item 1 #this is why Leo grows to become the worlds greatest ninja #bro’s dedication to subterfuge is godly #also #Leo 🤝 Mario: being painted gold and tricking the villainess into thinking you’re a statue #side note but in this same episode leo makes a comment about being betrayed by his brothers all the time in a happy tone #and I wonder if that’s part of where his love for epic betrayals comes from #or if his bros partially did those betrayals because they know he likes them #also also #nearly all of Leo’s absolute best moments are contained within episodes that feature either Hueso or especially Big Mama #and I find that interesting #ALSO also also #Karai and Big Mama both embody different aspects of Leo’s key character traits and in this essay I will-#side note but as I mentioned in the notes LEO WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD CHEERLEADER AND SPECIFICALLY A FLYER #bc here’s the thing he has literally all the marks of a good one - the main one being what he shows HERE #the ability to LOCK HIS POSITION #plus his affinity for showmanship like #AND his literal JOB AS A MASCOT???#let my guy be a cheerleader plz #he and Mikey both would be so good at it

I finished that dressup game I said I was working on !! would very appreciate people giving it a go because I spent literally a week on this. like 7 days off work doing nothing but drawing clothes lmao

in order to make the different body types work without ballooning up the file size way more than it already is, I had to make it so you choose your skin tone twice. in meiker you can't arrange the order elements appear in, but I recommend starting with these two options to pick out your body type and skin tone first, since some options look better on certain bodies imo

also !! meiker !! I don't hear people talk about it much, but it's really cool I like it a lot! it's like picrew, but instead of uploading a bunch of pngs, you arrange and label your layers in folders and upload a single psd file. personally I liked the process a lot more than picrew because I'd rather work with one big file than a million tiny image files, but that's just me. plus you can make the images bigger than you can on picrew too

also posting this again since I can attach it to a post with the game, but I made a tutorial on how to create a bunch of colour options super fast if you want to make your own dressup game. there's no way I'd have nearly as many options if I didn't know how to do this. once you understand the actions feature you can do so much stuff so much more efficiently it's insane it's like my favourite photoshop feature

youtube

#this is literally like 1.5 hours after I made my last post about being so so patient lmao oops ty meiker mod #meiker #meiker.io #picrew #dress up game #my art #I feel like you can tell I designed all the clothes on the plus size girl first and then remade them for the other bodies #bc everything looks best on her lmao #also I saw a robot girl game but it only had like 6 options total for the entire thing and now I'm like #ooooh I should make a robot girl game #I love robot girls but I don't draw them much bc I'm too indecisive about what features I want them to have #and drawing takes too long to just draw more lmao #animated gif #also I wanted to add like chains and belts and bracelets and necklaces and stuff to this but after a week I was like.#I need to be done. I need to stop.#Youtube

we need to defend a protagonist’s right to suck ass and be boring and do everything wrong

#LISTEN.#i once saw a post claiming that [redacted] isn’t the protagonist because ??????? Who knows????#he’s not the most charming i guess??#and it’s like. that is LITERALLY not how that works…#you can’t just Decide that someone isn’t the protagonist because you don’t like them #HE’S LITERALLY THE POV CHARACTER LIKE WHAT THE FUCK #LET THIS MAN SUCK AND FAIL AND CRY AND BE THE PROTAGONIST #(also for the record - those are his best features imo - everyone else is just mean)#people will really see a depressed and traumatized man and go ‘wow he’s so boring’#because they are fools and understand nothing #anyway.#[redacted] is my lame ass boyfriend and if everybody doesn’t clap i’m blowing the whole building up

this site is so unlike anything else in all the best ways and they've tried for years to make it profitable but couldn't because a user-friendly and user-driven experience and profit simply cannot coexist but stagnating/dropping profits aren't an option in today's climate. that being said i highly doubt tumblr is going down it feels too unkillable but if it is im not going to instagram or twitter or mastofort or whatever i will simply walk into a forest and become moss. god bless

#pro tip you can massively lower server costs by getting rid of tumblr live‚ a feature noone wants and noone uses #literally just stop trying to become other sites and instead capitalise on being unlike any other site #in a world where every app is the same app owned by the same people tumblr is invaluable #but it's not profitable which is the only thing they care about #but like. I'm literally not moving anywhere else #not only coz tumblr in general is the best site but also bc my blog is really important to me #it's a record and archive of everything I've liked in the past 7 years meticulously catalogued #even if i went on another site. all that would just be gone. i cant have that #I'll be downloading my blog but that's just part of it yk #barking #tumblr

i want to draw more child characters actually looking their age but im very bad at reading how old children are and theres no way to google "14 year old boy" without wondering if that put you on some sort of watchlist

#we need some kind of guide to developmental stages for artists #the best move for me ive discovered is yearbooks. bc it has a bunch of kids around the same age so you can see what features they have in-#common etc. also provides a use for my old yearbooks #warlock wartalks #but yeah idk i think theres something very evocative about drawing cartoon characters or childrens series characters as their actual ages #because then youre like wow they went thru all that. that is literally a baby

i literally am not a gale stan or whatever but the way hunger games fans online talk about him makes me want to hit someone with a brick

#the prim reaper meme was funny but can we please be fucking serious #like. i resent how the nuance of his character is utterly erased by large swathes of the people reading these books lol #like of course he's okay with killing capitol citizens #they benefited off the mines that killed his father and almost starved him.#they enjoyed and happily partook in the death match that featured his best friend as one of the contestants #and they bombed his home to literal ashes #like his anger is incredibly justified and yeah. yeah the bomb was fucked up of course #and prim dying because of it drives it home #but he's literally not that bad of a person like. like katniss like peeta he was a scared teenager being manipulated by much older people #like yeah! fucked up! but can we get a little perspective!#the stuff with his relationship with katniss was annoying but even that has narrative purpose actually so can everyone shut the fuck up lol #the hunger games #thg #gale hawthorne

can i just like. say something.

i think this community can be really fun at times! i also think it can be toxic! that said, a lot of — not all, but a lot — the toxicity comes from people actively opening themselves up to harmful situations.

the cool thing about online spaces is that you have so much control in curating them! you can block someone whose opinions or posts you don’t agree with without ever having to interact with them. you can ignore or delete hateful anonymous messages, or even disable the feature entirely. you can privately message someone if you want to talk to them without an audience watching the entire thing.

the point of this isn’t to say that you shouldn’t engage in discourse, that being petty and dramatic isn’t fun, that responding to anon hate with a one-liner isn’t funny and cool. the point is to say that i think it’s kind of silly to complain about drama and negativity and hate when you also invite 300,000+ people to say some nasty shit to you with zero consequences on their end but a whole lot of satisfaction out of the reaction they get from you.

this isn’t directed at any one person in particular, and it’s not an attack. it’s simply a gentle reminder that you literally have the power to make this space a positive one. please stop letting strangers on the internet take that away from you.

#the block button is literally my best friend. i cannot tell you how many people i have blocked.#and i have no beef w them personally i just do not agree w them and don’t want to see it. that’s it! none of us are bad people!#but like y’all i feel bad seeing people get so stressed on here. there are so many FREE features that can help you avoid that #there’s also something to be said abt knowing how to act when you have a large audience but that’s a post for the vault #my point is that your experience here is entirely up to you and you can find pockets of this community you thrive in #you don’t need all 300k in your corner. it’s impossible. i promise #❤️#not tagging this but ok to rb if you want to and also ok to ignore idc

me: how about...natori contracting some kind of youkai illness & matoba finding out about it & showing up to his set & natori dragging him off to his trailer bc it would be bad for his sparkly reputation to make the angry faces he feels coming on in front of his coworkers & matoba offering to help but in that smarmy condescending way that raises natori's hackles so he refuses but unfortunately he doesn't know how to cure it so matoba just keeps showing up every day & natori keeps carting him off to the trailer every time & being suuuuper cagey when people ask him who his visitor is & what if his coworkers get the wrong idea & matoba is fully aware of this & what if one day in the trailer natori reluctantly agrees to let matoba help him & matoba's like okay fine off with your shirt i gotta paint this spell circle on your bare chest & what if he's in the middle of doing that when they hear somebody opening the door to the trailer & obviously they don't want anyone to know what they're actually doing in there bc youkai-exorcist confidentiality so matoba's like no worries i got this & he KISSES NATORI omg classic kiss-as-misdirection trope & the person at the door is like whoops my b carry on gentlemen & after they've left natori is like wtf matoba????? & matoba's like well it's what they all thought we were doing anyway & your mouth was right there & it allowed me to cover the writing on your chest with my body & also you kiss people for a living so i figured it wouldn't be too complex for you & your part-time exorcist training to handle & natori recovers admirably quickly & is like WELL for your information that was a TERRIBLE kiss & no one is gonna buy that i professional makeout artist natori shuuichi would be swapping saliva with somebody on the reg without any of my considerable skill rubbing off on them & matoba's like so what do you propose we do about it & natori's like obviously i have to teach you how to kiss in case they come back -

the bedtime story fairy who thought this was gonna be an easy assignment: please just go to sleep im begging u have mercy ur brain cells are dying

#my other bedtime imagine also features misunderstandings in natori's trailer/dressing room but this time it's established relationship #natori and his costar are in his trailer practicing a kiss & matoba comes in & thinks natori is CHEATING 😲#& packs up & goes back to the matoba estate & natori's calling him daily like i LITRALLY dk what i did wrong...miss u baby...#but also tell me what i did wrong u asshole!! you just left & didn't even tell me if/when you're coming back! wtf!!!#and eventually matoba comes home & they talk & natori's like mkay well first of all kissing that lady is my literal job that pays me #but i understand that it upset you bc we were alone in my trailer & looked startled to be interrupted. hey i know #why don't you come with me to set & you can see just how incredibly unsexy these practice sessions are?#so matoba accompanies him & it's literally just natori & his costar like calculating exact face tilt angles & figuring out #their precise height differential during the scene in question based on the shoes she'll be wearing & testing out ideal #degree of mouth openness & choreographing switching sides of the face to correspond to the movement of the camera #(bc obviously it's one of those epic 360-degree shots with the swelling orchestral score and w/e 🙄)#& figuring out where they should put their hands & whether it makes sense for them to be smiling at this point in their arc &c &c #& matoba starts like observing them from multiple angles & critiquing their technique & giving pointers to the costar #& grabbing natori's chin & bodily arranging his limbs like a mannequin & showing the costar the best ratio of lip give to firmness #by demonstrating with his own lips on natori's lips. & so on & so forth. meanwhile #the sleep i am forgoing in favor of having these thoughts is something i will NEVER get back.#natsume's book of friends #horrible exorcists #f #my posts #i am such a clown to watch one of the sweetest and most poignant shows i have ever seen and for what?#to get fixated on imagining ways to get these chuckleheads to smush their mouths together? unbelievable.#like these scenarios barely (if at all) have anything to do with what makes them so fascinating as characters. i just want them to Kiss #idk though i do feel like their first kiss has to be some sort of dare or 'accident' or w/e like these weirdos can't just KISS each other!#who does that! have you heard of a little thing called pride and invulnerability and plausible deniability!!!!#but i also completely imprinted on this one established relationship fic i read last year so sometimes i just skip ahead #to the kinds of misunderstandings and shenanigans and conflicting priorities they could get up to as a couple #i guess i just want the fact that natori is famous for kissing people to be Matoba Seiji's Problem in some way or another #is that so much to ask #(i also CLEARLY imprinted on a fic in which natori teaches matoba to kiss at a bar?? i should reread that one)

lrb it's just so tiring too because like blah blah "a game's not going to get every diversity win most of the time" and all that but there's a difference between fumbling a bit of representation versus literally just slapping one token protag into your game, not treating him like the rest of your protags AT ALL, and then calling your work done. like. "demoting ONLY the black protag's main quest" and "adding features for EVERY other protag EXCEPT the black one" are not fumbles, these are EXTREMELY easy to avoid fuck ups if you're using any brain power whatsoever, or if you're not motivated by what's going to make you the most money. like, crazy take here, but maybe "well the black character isn't in high demand" is a result of systemic racism and should NOT be treated the same as when a white character isn't in high demand. maybe making a difference means treating that character with the same attention and detail as your high-paying characters, even if it WILL cost you a little more money, for the single, important purpose of "your metrics are also racist and you have to think about them completely differently when dealing with your characters of color". like. this literally isn't hard.

#i dont wanna hear it with “we have to support the game for the shit it Did get right”#when the shit it got wrong is literally not hard to get Not Wrong.#im not asking for the best black representation we've ever seen im literally just asking for #larian to give features to THE ONLY CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE PATCH they didnt #who “HAPPENS” to be the black one. like. it's embarrassing at BEST #bc it literally does not take any brain power whatsoever to realize this looks bad as shit. lmfao.#yoshi talks

So, I just know all of Tumblr was wondering, "hey, you remember that really weird ZoLaw fan with the annoyingly overly stylized post? I wonder if she's seen this and if she has any theories or thoughts, an observation or two?"

Well, allow me to set your wandering mind at ease, fictional Tumblr fan. The answer is: No. No, I really don't.

I have like three hundred.

[I also spent time just trying to track down as many translations as possible. Is Tera A Criminal's Daughter or The Daughter Of Thieving Bandits! These are CLEARLY separate things and can ENTIRELY change how her utter nonpresence in Zoro's life shaped him! Though I can take comfort in knowing that, regardless of what kind of crimes her father was committing they were more important than anything his daughter ever did in her entire life.]

And, hey, as might as well jump right into that whole mess.

1. Wait, Zoro's mom is dead? Thank goodness, I was worried Oda forgot one!

(AKA: Stop. Murdering. Moms.)

I'll go first, I don't mind saying when I was wrong. True, in the past I may have suggested that the vast majority of female characters in One Piece come off as ever so slightly, "leaning into sexist tropes with unadulterated joy; it's the misogynistic tropes equivalent of a child running naked through a grocery store. It's right there, everyone sees it, yet people shut up and continue shopping in part because, well, these days you just expect most people to cover that junk! What would you even say? And if you DO speak up and call out the inappropriate, be prepared for blank stares and tantrums; but THEY don't mind! THEY don't think it's wrong! You're just being mean!"

More or less a direct quote.

However, I see now that I rushed to judgement and the reality of the situation is far more nuanced. With that in mind, I was just wondering if someone could help answer some of the questions I have.

Like: Why does Oda believe that it's illegal for (maternal) female characters to survive other character's backstories?

More importantly, why hasn't someone just reached out to explain the misconception!? It can't be that difficult. If nothing else, just have a lawyer or judge or other expert in censorship on hand. Or is the one of those cases where back in highschool his friends made something up and then kept pretending it was real to see if he'd believe you and not only did he fall for it, it took over 20 years before he learned that, what, no that's not illegal. That would be crazy if it were an actual law. Cause you know, after the first 10 years I think yeah you have to just lean into it. Pretend it's a creative decision on your part and definitely not because you were terrified of being sentenced to a slow and humiliating public death.

Just to be clear that's definitely what's up, right? I mean, I'm struggling to think of another reason....able excuse why a story that I really enjoy keeps playing the same old sexist tropes cards again and again to the point of absurdity. It would just help if I had a valid excus- explanation. I almost mistyped the word explanation.

....

So I imagine it went like.

"That's the third mangaka they've had to Publically Execute this week!"

"They've started taking this law way more serious lately."

"This one really deserved it though! I heard his main character has a mother in her late forties!"

"That does seem old to have your first child."

"No, he's the middle of three and 22 years old. The story even has flashbacks of defining moments in his childhood and never once did she try to sacrifice herself for him, get murdered by his enemies, or die in meaningless unrelated accidents."

"Damn, that's cold to be there for all the protagonist core moments and not die and help him develop and grow a character? They must have a very antagonistic relationship. Is she actually the villain."

"Not that we know, and when they asked about this being a possible plot twist since - obviously if she's evil no laws are being broken."

"Well, of course, that's the whole reason Statue 2-dash-57 exists; if creators can show they have consistently been building up to a surprise twist then the female character in question can continue to live so long as she continues to be unrepentant and unlikable until the resolution of her arch by the protagonist."

"That's the thing! Under oath not only did man present no evidence to support her identity as a secret villain, he went on the record stating he wanted to depict their relationship as one of a normal modern 20 year old and his mother."

"That can't be true! What publishing company would even print that!?"

"It gets worse. I told you he was a middle child? Well, according to those who've read the actual manga, his younger sister was really sick as a child."

"Oh, well, at least-"

"It was just a fish allergy. She's perfectly fine."

"Sometimes I feel this law is unnecessarily harsh but.... Then you hear stories like that, and you realize that some people really are monsters."

#So this was going to be one post three parts (because obviously) then I remembered even people who have purposefully followed me hate that #I took into consideration that not everyone wants a unmountable wall of Zoro meta analysis on their dash so now its gonna be 3 post style #keeping in mind I've already written it all up and will just be posting them one after the other so effectively the same result #only with the illusion of my empathetic nature #I do have a lot of thoughts on what amounts to a very small amount of scribbled lines and a couple doodles #he literally didn't even bother giving Kuina's mom or grandmothers a name like they didn't even have a identity #In fairness there wasn't a need for them to have any kind of identities or individuality or identifiable features #everyone knows only one trait really matters when it comes to adult females: they go down #into the ground....as a corpse. After ensuring that their death would be the best way to help their children grow. As characters.#I'm joking cuz its funny. It's obvious why Zoro's mom got a name & description: she gave birth to a protagonist and not a human sacrifice #But have considered why those specific qualities are what he chose to define her by - she's fictional he could have made up anything!#I'll have to talk about it in the other posts I'm wasting precious tag room #one piece #roronoa zoro #one piece meta #one piece sexism #this post is not for everyone; actually its pretty much just for me #conversations with fictional people #more opinions than anyone asked for about subjects they don't even care about #Oh! I found the blogs new subtitle!#author gets sassy then preachy then sassy again and then swerves sharply to the weird #oh these tags are way too much #Zoro's backstory #Zoro family history #amusing musings #why am i the way that i am #three post style: part one!

This is incredibly random but as funny as "king who hates fun is forced to perform with a living ventriloquist dummy of Strahd von Zarovich in what is basically a comedy club forever" is, I think the pre-5e version of Risibilos is better

#I don't think this qualifies as a hot take it's lukewarm at best #but 5e Risibilos is very uh #lackluster?#Like I get the whole 'some domains are full campaigns and some are one-shots' but #5e Risibilos is not a one-shot it's a cut-away gag #And I already know I'm commiting Ravenloft Blasphemy by not caring about Strahd all that much #but having the ventriloquist dummy literally be a dummy that thinks it's the real Strahd is #again that's not a domain premise that's a cut-away gag #Risibilos doesn't get to exist as it's own thing outside of the Setting Mascot and I think that devalues it #and I know I'm thoroughly biased because fucked up and vaguely sinister jesters are like #very high up on my favorite type of characters list #And I've gotten interested in a puzzle game series with lore that features a fucked up immortal king and his fucked up immortal jester #BUT bias aside I stand by my statement that pre-5e Risibilos is a better domain #5e Risibilos works better as a joke than an actual domain you'd have players be in
