My full art piece for @drkzine! I was so happy to do a page for both the lovely Shadowkeeper and one of my favorite lines in the game.

And you even appear in my dreams 💝

Man, I can't believe you were a fan of Lupin the Third! It rocks! Even if you never draw it again, I really \like the way you draw Jigen. He looks so cool!

Yesss I was a huge fan actually. 🤩 And I drew many versions of these characters! Cagliostro, Koike, The First... I had a lot of fun alternating between those, and must've done nearly as many drawings while in this fandom as I did so far for Mario! 😂

First Deity; guardian of air, creation, and the inner spirit of all living things. With every breath the First takes, the universe expands.

thinking about an alternate season 7 wherein instead of every potential slayer being hunted and then activated, every past slayer gets brought back to life. I don’t really like post-chosen content anyway, but when I do read / look at it the whole slayer academy, everyone’s a slayer thing is really stupid to me ngl 💀

previous slayers, though… nikki wood and xin rong interacting with spike, actually finding out about the slayer before buffy, slayers with different backgrounds and situations and personalities, KENDRA?! I just love it so much.

you’d be able to focus on a relatively small cast of slayers, much like the potentials, throughout the season. this would include buffy, faith, kendra, nikki, and some other american slayers from varying time periods with a couple interesting international characters too (maybe a slayer from ancient greece / rome / egypt, or an anglo-saxon one or something). these are all experienced slayers, so no need to focus on training - it would be more about lore, history and their personal character journeys, assimilating them into society (creating some fun bottle episodes, maybe a day out on the town with dawn and a historical slayer) and trying to figure out why they were all brought back. also, if you want to keep the first as the main villain, then it can look like any one of them because they’re all technically dead, which means you can still have that episode with the dead potential revealing herself as the first and all the mistrust that’s threaded throughout the season.

plus with nikki back, there would be no need for the stupid sleeper agent thing with spike or the ridiculous fight between him and robin. all the same ideas (and the flashbacks to spike’s mum) could still be explored, and in a way better way imo.

I reckon the reason they were brought back would probably be the powers that be (tying nicely into angel ofc) trying to defeat the first. and of course the ending would be this huge battle, as all the slayers from around the world come to sunnydale, and maybe to add some drama they would all disappear and die again when the battle’s done as they have fulfilled their purpose (a classic finale knife to the heart that would have everyone sobbing, especially over nikki and kendra).

there’s also the added thing of like,, I appreciate the show was leaning towards a theme of “hope for the future” with the potentials angle, but literally every other aspect of the season is about harkening back to the past. faith, robin, the first taking the form of previous characters, the high school, the slayer origins, etc etc. so I just think this idea would work so much better with the themes of the season, and tie in really nicely.

and the most obvious perk of this concept is kendra! she was forgotten about so quickly, and this season would really give the writers a chance to redeem themselves for the terrible way poc characters have been treated throughout the show (ignoring what they did to robin. FUCK that but that’s another conversation). I think the show really downplayed how much kendra’s death would have affected buffy, and seeing the two of them interact after buffy has changed so much and kendra’s still the same would be amazing. there’s also the interesting concept that, having been brought back from the dead, kendra still be 17, and therefore closer in age to dawn than to buffy, which could make for some really nice interactions between the two of them. also of course the biggest most exciting thing is having buffy, faith and kendra all interact. they all represent places on a spectrum in terms of personality, and I would LOVE to see kendra and faith interact and how much of a unit they would likely become as a trio.

there’s also the theme of buffy feeling (and being) alone in this season that would hopefully go away, as she would now have dozens of people who truly understand her, giving her a proper support system which I would love to see (season 7 scoobies can actually eat shit btw <3)

so. was this born out of my hatred for insufferable kennedy and the annoying potentials? yes absolutely. do I now want them to rewrite and re-film the entire last season 20 years later? yes absolutely I’m so glad you understand

side note wouldn’t it be sick if in the final battle there’s just this one slo-mo shot where buffy stakes a vamp and through the dust she sees the first slayer looking at her from across the battlefield before she disappears amongst the fight. WHAT it would literally be awesome hello?!

also also other side note sorry but Mother(TM) nikki wood would NEVER kick buffy out of her own house. fuck them kids fr

The Kim Possible So The Drama movie was the perfect example of childhood friends becoming more

It starts out with Kim clearly having given up hope on her feelings for Ron because she sees Ron isn’t growing up as fast as she is, and Ron clinging to their relationship as it is and childhood itself, because she is a constant for him, and his big fear is that a change in their dynamic could cost him their relationship all together, so he stays in this refusal to grow up

But watching her grow closer with someone else forces him to acknowledge that she will outgrow him, and their relationship, if he doesn’t grow with her and admit his feelings for her have grown as well

It’s so perfectly executed because they are 17, they are leaving childhood and becoming young adults, and they are taking that step together, and it was only fitting that their relationship take the next step as well

Kim showed subtle hints to having feelings for Ron the whole series, Ron showed fear of ruining their relationship more than anything, so Ron being the one to admit his feelings first with the “out there, in here” line, was everything. It showed that he was willing to grow up for her, and she had been waiting since preschool for him to get there.

Anyways I’m rewatching the Kim Possible So The Drama movie and they taught me love guys

arguably the funniest frames in the whole movie

just two dads, their adopted bunny son and his catboyfriend :3

I rewatched Lupin III : The First bc I got the DVD for my birthday, and I'm actually gonna study this screenshot bc it's driving me insane

(THO I HATE THAT IT'S SO BLURRYYYYYY)

Wh- why does he look like he's about to die?
