My 10 Favorite Batgirls covers

You know something we never talk about much is some of the stunning covers Batgirls had (would you believe the series had over seventy-two different covers for a nineteen-issue run + Annual).

That's-- A LOT.

What happens when you get regular and virgin #1 covers that were available in other shops. Now these are my own preferences. I mean, to say the least, Batgirls covers never missed really. These are just my favs.

So are ten of my favorites plus a few honorable mentions.

Honorable Mention #1:

Batgirls #16 International Women's Day Variant by Lynne Yoshi. I just love the way everyone is framed in this with Babs being "the Batgirl" but in a past B&W motif while Cass/Steph are the present Batgirls being juxtaposed in color.

Honorable Mention #2:

Batgirls #12 90s variant by Paulina Ganucheau. I love the homage here the splashy page homage with a nice role reversal with Cass subbing for Tim here. My favorite Steph-centric cover.

#10

Batgirls #13 1:25 variant by Rian Gonzales. Her final one for the series, and man did she go out with a banger. Love the Powerpuff Girls homage with most of the supporting cast (Kyle, Maps, and Alyssa) with random Kon and Kate appearances.

Batgirls #3 variant by Kim Jacinto. Jacinto would do a few variants for the series too, and this is my favorite one of them. Love that each had a fluidity with them but that up-close claw of Cass coming at ya is why this one is my favorite of Jacinto's Batgirls covers.

Batgirls #1 the Glass Cabinet Hobbies variant by Dan Mora. This is one of those "store" exclusive variants, and probably my favorite Batgirls cover Mora did on the series.

I love the poses Cass/Steph have here, along with Bab's silhouette. I just LOVE the yellow dips down and to the right even making a rather striking cover. If anything negative I wish Babs was bigger and Dick was taken out of this cover altogether. Still love Bruce on the right though.

#7 Batgirls #1 (though I forget which store had this exclusive) variant by Babs Tarr. If there's one thing I do enjoy about Burnside Batgirl it is the way Tarr drew Steph in it. Just captured that fun attitude perfectly. Also, love the first "official" drawing of her Cass.

I also love the homage to a famous Batman cover but the personalities of each Batgirl stand out in this one. Plus the pink just makes this one stand out and be so striking.

Batgirls #14 variant 1:25 cover by Dan Hipp. Again, the pink is a nice striking contrast but Hipp one-ups it with the little details sprinkled throughout this cover. The easter eggs sprinkled in are PERFECTION here. Probably the best "layered" cover with so much behind it.

#5 Batgirls #18 AAPI variant cover by Crystal Kung. The second of the two AAPI covers Cass got in the series, I love the colors in this one along with the pose Kung gives Cass here. There's that gremlin nature of Cass I love here.

Along with just the wash the background gets further back. I also love the secondary color Kung gives Cass's cape to make it stand out more.

#4 Batgirls #17 cover by Jorge Corona. My favorite cover of the series with all three Batgirls in them. I love how Corona gets the personalities of the three in here while also the starry background along with the Clocktower. Sooo good.

Batgirls #6 1:25 variant by Rian Gonzales. My favorite Gonzales cover of the series. I love the watercolors Gonzales does the most here. Just the wash of Gotham City in the background with Cass/Steph lying in the pool. Also Haley on the little batmobile float. SOOOOOOO CUTE!!!

Batgirls #14 cover by Jorge Corona. The best issue of the entire series and the peak for me of Corona as well with his covers.

Just the somber mood of the cover sets the tone alone. I also LOVE the way Corona has Cass and Steph's capes here. The way each pop sells it all.

So if that's my #2, what can be my #1?

Well... something that just uplifts me anytime I look at it. Something you'd probably not truly expect.

Batgirls #6 AAPI Heritage Month variant by Audrey Mok. There's just something every time that I look at this cover that fills me with a warm glee.

I adore Mok's use of Cass here and the way the traffic around her lights a part of her up. I adore the pose as well that mid-grapple swing too.

I love the "mini story" this one tells too. Just everything about this cover is perfection to me.

So there are my favorite Batgirls covers. This was tough! 😅What are your favorite Batgirls covers? Please share and comment on which ones are yours, or if you share the same as I do!

How do you think Levi would handle his PTSD/symptoms during post!war Marley days? Like he definitely takes up doing his tea shop and I bet gardening or painting maybe but moreso about small stuff like seeing something mundane and it just triggers him. Having tinnitus or really bad knee/hand pain, how does he cope in small ways? I could see him even take up hammocking and reading just listening to birds and chilling in nature.

Also, do you think that he ever misses using ODM gear? The easy gilding through trees and buildings, being able to almost like fly? There's this certain point where when you master a skill with such fluidity that it becomes a second nature. Do you think that he misses that zen feeling?

sheeppp i’m so so so sorry this took me literal months to reply to😭i hope it was worth it! i had so much to say,,,

so: post-war levi headcanons

//su1cidality (idk if it’s allowed to use The Whole Word or not), detailed ptsd descriptions, internalized ableism |

wc: ~2k

just like how keeping his promise only finally gave room for Levi to feel the grief surrounding Erwin’s death, the end of the Titans would be the same, but much worse. yes, the dream all the Scouts fought for—a world without walls and without Titans—was realized… but absolutely no one who Levi knew before discovering the basement was alive to see it with him. he's the only one left to remember all of it, especially the trauma, and that's the loneliest feeling in the world.

• despite ultimate victory, at an individual level, he'd feel... really lost, and broken of course. he can no longer walk, let alone fight for anything, but he doesn't have anything left to fight for anyway!! (Levi definitely considers his duty completed, not having a part in what the former 104th is doing.)

so the first year would be very very very hard on him. assumably he was inpatient in a hospital for sometime for his injuries and mandatory physical therapy, and after that he realistically can’t live on his own (hence Gabi and Falco).

but,, Levi would have a hard time accepting being taken care of just on principle. the loneliness would be crippling. with every bit of self worth he ever had being built on how useful he is, ironically i think the end of the war would put him at rock bottom for a time.

• this is not at all to mention his mental scarring in general. his convictions about his duty had been only as strong as his ability to suppress his weaknesses. the foundations of his life had been built on is always moving forward with no regrets, and that's just a breeding ground for suppressed grief and guilt. just because Levi lived by it didn't make it healthy for him in the long run, and now all the sudden he HAS no duty, and nothing to move forward past.

so now, what, three or four decades worth of issues?—have an opportunity to take root.

there are nightmares of course, the usual insomnia, and heaps of post-traumatic stress; coming to terms with how worthless he thought and thinks of himself, especially now; the frustration and hatred directed towards his new disabilities; but above all, his suppressed emotions.

he over-regulated his emotions for sooo long that it's become instinctive to mask around anyone so no one would have the slightest idea that he's struggling at all. in order to maintain his strength, doing his duty, his fighting ability, everything—that's what he did, and not only is he so damn good at it that he's deluded even himself into believing he’s infallible, but it's instinctive and automatic for him. and healing from a coping mechanism like that completely, surrounded by a sea of severe psychopathology, is nearly impossible.

he must have compartmentalized or blocked out many many events and traumatic memories, and of course, the more often you do that, the heavier the feelings, the more traumatic the memories, the bigger the breakdown later. at some point he has a breakdown and shatters to pieces worse than he has in his whole fucking life.

• he struggles to adjust to change (because as we know Levi never even wore the new uniforms in s4, implying that. along with an interview i vaguely remember confirming that), and desperately needs a routine.

• but despite his loneliness, or maybe because of it, he struggles with relationships. in his mind it's not like he became any more pleasant to be around than he was before, so he doesn’t feel like anyone could deal with or wants his company anyway, besides on obligation. so he would self-sabotage his relationships with Gabi, Falco, Onyakopon or whoever even at the cost of his physical health. Levi neverrrr gave a damn about his own well-being and that gets worse when he’s of no more “use” to anyone, with his existence now a “burden” to his friends. he's useful, or he's nothing.

AGAIN IN LIKE THE FIRST YEAR…

• do i think this at one point snowballed into suicidal ideation of sorts? of sorts. the guilt of not being completely happy, now that it's all over, is prevalent, on top of his worthlessness, on top of tinnitus+his affected vision+using his hands+his worse mobility+chronic pain,,, ironically for a time after the war, his hardest battle is surviving.

• he loathes psychotherapy at its very premise. delving into his feelings with someone who's basically a stranger paid to listen and analyze him?? one of his worst nightmares.

so that's out of the question. but physical therapy is doable for him. such as seeing it as an exercise routine, him disliking his wheelchair, and being given tangible goals to work towards—is good for him. and besides, with the technology and culture of Marley resembling 20th century western Europe/USA, i imagine there's very few resources and little empathy, and more discrimination for people with disabilities. it can't be helped, so he might as well work on physical therapy, and along the way grow a decent self-esteem around that, and his facial scars.

• he finds ways to cope somehow. Levi isn’t an artistic person and i don’t think that changes with retirement. but he enjoys reading fiction and the newspaper, as a distraction and to keep up with what’s going on in the world.

he would absolutely enjoy gardening. cultivating life instead of ending them, being self-sustaining food wise, just the reward of taking care of something living and watching it flourish. gardening is one of his favorite pastimes.

and, eventually, journaling. like i said, Levi would have trouble just accepting that his suffering is valid, let alone coping with it. there is no full recovery, there is no being completely okay for someone who's gone through all he has i think, which is incomprehensible to someone like Levi, who prioritized his strength over every other one of his attributes.

but eventually he gets it into his head (Onyankopon's advice?) that although his closest loved ones and friends are gone, he can’t let who they were be forgotten. yes people like Erwin and Hange would be icons in history, but it’s not enough. Levi is the only person who knows who they really were, and of course those people are very very very dear to him.

so he starts jotting down memories or anecdotes he almost forgot. it would sort of read as a police report or a debrief at first honestly, just a recounting of events with no emotion because it’s hard. memories of them, all of them, are priceless to him, so fond or not, it’s a challenge.

but it becomes therapeutic, and even a crutch. sometimes he writes so fast that he’s not even thinking of the words to put and just writing his stream of consciousness, or loses track of time. at times like that he can find some catharsis.

he enjoys sitting at a park bench (and knowing the importance of routine to Levi, the same one every time) and feeding the birds, and like you said, chilling in nature.

he decides he owes it to his past comrades to see the fruits of their labor they didn’t get to.

• Levi has fond memories of the past, before the basement and their whole world got bigger and more dire. there's something he appreciates about that time, and how simple their goals and enemies were, even though their lives were never carefree or happy. i think Levi would prefer that time of his life the most, being under the sun and sky and with a cause to live and fight for. his reason to live fixated on his duty, and so being a soldier became his reason for being.

and then there’s his pure love of flying on the ODM gear. he was doing it since before he ever even joined the survey corps. probably his first ever real belonging besides a knife, and his first and most longstanding sense of freedom he ever had. Levi never was carefree, but flying was as close as he got. yes. flying is one of the things he misses the most about the past.

• but like i said, and even though it's sad, i think that for someone like Levi and all he's been through, there is no complete peace. that's not realistic.

• his ptsd is severe. at times when the littlest thing could set him off—being irritated or angry—and he has no concrete reason for why. he doesn’t even know who or what he’s angry at. it’s tempting to resent the people around him for not understanding it, and how they’ll never understand what he went through that made him “broken”. being angry that he has to relive some memories through nightmares or flashbacks at seemingly mundane things.

he hates planes (sorry Onyankopon). he hates shower steam or cooking on a stove. sometimes his missing fingers reminds him of Erwin and all the worry that arose when he lost his arm. fireworks or the sounds of explosions in general make him feel dizzy and out of it for a while. he probably sees dead friends and enemies alike in crowds of people. he doesn’t stare into the fireplace because he’ll smell burning flesh. needles whenever he visits the doctor makes him feel panicky.

he has triggers. and when he’s triggered he self-isolates a lot and becomes emotionless. you know, sometimes his sole motivation for getting out of bed is taking care of his garden/his plants, and eating is only worth the strength needed to do that, or to eat so the food he grew himself doesn’t go to waste. besides, he reminds himself that staying in bed is pointless, because getting sleep is never easy.

• and arguably the worst part is, that Levi is so accustomed to suffering it’s unthinkable the type of person he’d be or life he could lead without it. it’s comfortable because it’s familiar, which leads to him almost fetishizing his own sadness out of a sense that he deserves it as punishment, and this carnal need to prove that he’s useless, and should be left alone.

• but of course, he’s too loved for that to happen. he comes to believe his friends of that. and that makes him protective of Gabi and Falco especially—he’s still that same person who will do anything to make his friends’ lives easier or take a load off whenever they need it.

time passing helps, and so does journaling and seeing the kids (Gabi, Falco, honestly the whole 104th is still his kids), but there is no full recovery for someone like Levi. then again, peace is uncomfortable for him anyway, someone whose whole life was a cycle of being on his guard, training and fighting, recovering, and then fighting some more.

but he does find some peace.

• eventually, when it’s finally over for him, the most prevalent feeling i think would be relief. being surrounded by friends or at least with the knowledge that he’s loved. he has lived a life of constant trial and tribulation, most of all grief, but it’s yet another testament to Levi’s strength that despite everything, he is still able to find a way to be happy. it’s the same. you can choose to feel better. every day, you find something to live for. it can be fleeting and easily forgotten… but maybe that’s everything.

as for him, he always holds onto the small things, for the same reason he needs those small things to hold on.

I just wanna talk about how much I love your art style. It's very *bouncy*, if that makes any sense? I have a very weird sort of associations with things, if it had a taste, it would taste like blueberries, and I love blueberries.

Is there anything in particular you'd say gives your art style it's unique-ness? Any strong inspirations? And, do you have advice for someone (me, it's me) who would like to try playing around with different art styles?

~ 🔫 (water gun! Not gun!) Anon

Thank you so much! I am not good with words when i get compliments but they're super appreciated!

I looooove old dark age Disney. The rough style of animation is sooo nice! For expressions, GalooGameLady on tumblr is a huge inspiration! I highly recommend their you all check their art. As for animation, I love when it's snappy, so I am always looking to use as less frames as i can, while maintaining some fluidity. I used to do a lot of quickpose studies as well.

I would say, in my opinion, don't close yourself to an specific style, you are going to be influenced by your inspirations and those influences will evolve your style, and it can be quite frustrating when you box yourself on it. I just let it flow, and I totally agree with trying different art styles, even doing studies on your inspirations (just be sure not to post them). Change comes naturally, just be patient :)

i also think vera lynn black is sooo interesting in terms of the gendered way she is written. Like she is a female character in 2004 written by a guy who, no offense, did not have a good track record with female characters and continued to not have one with OTHER women in comics she appears in. But for the most part...she's written like a male comic book character of the era. All the tropes she falls into are usually associated with male characters. Not really exaggeratedly sexualized either, again despite the other characters of that same comic getting the typical female comic book character treatment. Her presentation reads as almost butch to me? she's constantly disguising herself as man. she uses the mens restroom. she's clearly modeled after vash trigun. she has this weird kind of gender fluidity in how she becomes her brother. "I do not consider you to be a woman." rotating her in my mind

#thats MY niche comic blorbo and I get to choose the gender #IDK JUST SOMETHING INTERESTING HAPPENING THERE...#she's a great example of what i try to embody in hg when i talk about writing women like men. as in falling into those male tropes #warlock wartalks

For the artist meme -- 20 and 6! 🎨 if you like xx

20. how often do you get art block?

all the time 🥰 it's like clockwork lol sometimes i get sooo frustrated and cranky bc i hate all my art and i'm like "woe is me!! i've lost all my skills!! i'll never draw again!!" and then i'm like wait . i know what's happening here. i just gotta wait it out I'll be fine lol. it's nice that i also write bc then i can switch to writing for a while until the art block clears up 👍 i've found it's best for me to just take a break from drawing for a bit and not try to force it so my brain can like reset itself

6. tag your favorite artists/inspirations!

oh man there are so many!!!! i could name like 100 people lol but i'm gonna limit myself to the ones i think have had the most direct influence on my art style. hope u guys don't mind the tags<3

@ileniagennari was one of the first artists i latched onto stylewise. i used to study their work a lot because i am obsessed with the fluidity and softness of their linework and i just really like how they draw faces and bodies. their rendering is also amazing and feels sort of cinematic somehow? i've always wished my art could have a similar feel!

@anna-scribbles has also been a huge style influence for me and she's just also been a big inspiration in general as a close friend<3 i ADORE her work and have studied it specifically a ton. she draws the most blorby blorbos ever. blorbyness is her art trademark imo. and i want that for me too so i tried to steal it. i also think just sheer proximity to her and her art has made me pick up a lot of things from her automatically haha. in particular, i feel like the way she draws smiles is so perfect, and i always try to channel her when i draw smiles myself haha

@ladybeug inspires me so much and has taught me really valuable art skills! a while ago i came to a point in my art journey when i felt just really stuck and frustrated. like i could not for the life of me just DOODLE. i took everything too seriously, even if it was supposed to be simple and silly. i really needed to learn how to loosen up and enjoy drawing more. stephanie is like the most esteemed and delightful doodler i know so i came to her for advice and she DELIVERED. she gave me super helpful tips and invited me to make daily comics with her and it's been lifechanging! it's helped me focus on communication over perfection and feel more confident in my art, which i think had a visible difference in my style too. i learn SO much from just regularly enjoying stephanie's work, including her webcomic @datmcomic!!

@rileyclaw is a good buddy of mine and his work is so hugely inspiring to me! it's really educational to see his wips and learn from his process. and since he's an incredible animator as well as an illustrator, enjoying his work is part of what inspired me to finally take a leap and make my first animatic. i really love how he pushes/exaggerates body and facial expression to communicate emotion and how he makes such careful choices about comp and color and just Everything to tell a whole story with every piece of his art. i've learned a lot from riley on the storytelling aspects of art and that's something i continue to try to build on!

@knockknockknockingonhootysdoor's art is like an instant and intense shot of dopamine to my brain every time!!! i cant even tell you how HAPPY it makes me. i just stare at it and eat it all up and i'm always asking myself HOW does he do it?? how does he make me feel this way. and i think it's just like....how genuine it is?? i can just feel kryan's love for the story and characters in the way he draws and im not sure that is a stealable quality lol. but in particular something i really admire about his art is how SHAPE it is. i love how he builds each character with different shapes and how each design feels so unique and so fitting for them. i am trying to incorporate that more into my own art!

man i already have rambled so much and there are so many other artists i could go on and on about alskjdfjkla ok just real quick i have to shout out @picayunearts bc i intensely enjoy her work in both the ml and toh fandoms and her coloring and use of light and gradient always stands out to me so i kinda try to channel that sometimes! @smallpapers is another fav and i love how soft and simple her art feels! it's always inspiring to me. @raystel's work also inspires me a lot, whether it's fanwork or original stuff. she is so creative with character design and seeing the way she expresses her ideas in art is so cool!

and i would be remiss if i didn't shout out my sister @mozzys-studio who is the first person i came to when i wanted to learn how to draw and she taught me a lot! her art is beautiful<3

thanks for the questions! :D

artist asks

#there are so many more artists i could write paragraphs about.....but alas......#blowing all of you a thousand kisses #halcyonhue #YOUR ART IS SO GOOD TOO BTW. i love how you use colors omg #ask #ask meme

What's your favorite movie, if you have any?

I HAVE SO MANY FAVORITES IS THIS AN EXCUSE TO RAMBLE???

so this is a long list of movies i have curated love for over the years so its under a readmore lmao not so much reviews but lots of gushing

now i cant choose an all time favorite. its just not possible im so passionate about so many different movies. but some of my fav fav fav movies ever are

Studio Ghibli's 'Laputa: Castle in the Sky' (1986)

ghibli's first full length film and hayao miyazaki's second full length film (as far as im aware, ive seen nausicaa too) and it is honestly a masterpiece, like damn what a way to start off your animation studio. this movie is both wholesome and very bittersweet. it has amazing characters, both villain, anti-hero, and hero. plus the romance between pazu and sheetah is so innocent and passionate. theres really such a fantastical element about this entire film its so inspiring to me and i hold it near and dear to my heart, i cry every time.

Jim Hensons 'The Labyrinth' (1986)

this was a childhood favorite of mine. my family LOVES jim hensons dark fantasy, and my brother and i grew up with this movie and the dark crystal (yes i watched the netflix series. yes i am forever bitter netflix cancelled it because it was truly so stunning) and the labyrinth was always my preference over the two even tho i do love both a lot. but this movie was just...so mesmerizing. my favorite scene is actually the ballroom fever dream scene. idk what most peoples' opinions on that scene is but it was soooo stunning to me i adored every bit of it. her whole LOOK THO!!!!!

Studio Chizu's 'Wolf Children: Ame and Yuki' (2012)

STUNNING MOVIE I CRY EVERY TIME!!!! not only does this woman win mother of the goddamn decade but this is such a strong coming of age story for not one protagonist, but THREE. its a coming of age for everyone in that family and how to find your own path and acceptance with growth and change. plus the animation is sooo stunning studio chizu has been slappin since the girl who leapt through time and such before then, but i was just soooo stunned by this movie's ability to mix the fluidity of their 2D and 3D. 3D animes can be rly hit or miss but they did this so well. beautiful stunning amazing movie 12/10 very recommend

Satoshi Kon's 'Perfect Blue' (1997)

this movie fucked me up and when i tell you ive seen it like 10 times LMAO its a psychological thriller and man the content warnings on this one.....its a bit of a traumatizing experience if youre a sexual abuse victim, but its Such a good watch. its got a rly good twist that i personally cant say is very good or not, its probably a bitttt dated. but its not focused on that one thing. this movie follows the trauma of mima and how she was treated by her higher ups and crew into doing things she was not nearly ready for or even wanted to do...but to make it to the top, what else can you do?

Disney's 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire' (2001)

MY FAV FAV FAV DISNEY MOVIE EVER!!!!! say what u want about this movie but its one of disney's BEST!!!! the scene where kida is taken into the crystal light above the pool of water and becomes apart of the crystal? dude that scene Changed Me. so good i love it chefs kiss muah amazing fun movie

Disney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (1996)

probably disney's darkest movie idk there are some classics from the 60s to 80s that i havent rly seen, but this movie gives me chills every time. the soundtrack? slaps. animation? slaps (thank u james baxter) characters? slap. this movie is SO GOOD and hypnotizing!!! and its so bold.

disney 2020s doesnt have the balls

Disney's 'Tangled' (2010)

FAV DISNEY PRINCESS FAV DISNEY PRINCESS MOVIE!!! i watched this shortly after it's dvd release because my mom bought it cause we always been a disney household and i fell in love with this one. yes i did watch the series. yes i did cry a couple times. tangled has my heart <3

Warner Bros' 'Cats Don't Dance' (1997)

FURRY MOVIE FURRY MOVIE!!! this movie got me into furries realistically. i love everything about this movie its so fun and charming and it has a very nice message of following your dreams while still being authentic to yourself. also lowkey about racism and prejudice in hollywood in the 1920s/1930s cough cough

Studio Ghibli's 'Spirited Away' (2001)

HOW CAN I ALMOST FORGET THIS CLASSIC??? my first ghibli movie!!! and it was such an introduction to miyazaki movies. it is such a fantastical take on japanese folklore. i for one am fascinated by japanese folklore, mythology, and culture in general so this movie is always such a treat and i can never get enough of it. one of my all time favorite movies, such a masterpiece.

Makoto Shinaki's 'Children Who Chase Lost Voices' (2011)

now this is one of shinaki's lesser known movies, but its my absolute favorite of his. this animation is still so stunning for 2011, and i can only imagine how impressive it was then considering how his stuff looks now lol but this is a high fantasy movie with miyu irino (♥♥♥♥) voicing the hero. dont ask me the rest of the cast i just hyperfixate on miyu irino specifically because he voices syaoran in the tsubasa series

ANYWAY!!! thats enough of that i could honestly go on and on but i figure i wont make this post any longer than it has to be hahaha thank you so much for the question!!!

#notice how theres only one live action but it still has artistic elements lMAO #i do not watch live action movies i shit u not its so rare for me #like i just #i sleep #yknow?

21, 30, 7 hehe

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

Art styles that rely heavily on linework, or a solid ink kinda style, are SUPER cool. My usual style is 'glob of colors exploded haphazardly onto the canvas' so anything involving a lot of tiny detail ESPECIALLY with the lines makes me go heart eyes. I also really enjoy cartoony, exaggerated styles. I love love love super stylized facial expressions, they're SO fun.

Some examples of artists/artwork I really like and am inspired from:

Niccillustrates has a beautiful style that features solid, largely unshaded colors and gorgeous linework/inking, which is most obvious in their Undertale fan art. Seems like they've taken down a lot of their older stuff which is a shame, this piece is one of my absolute all time favorite inspirations of mine. The little lines in everything, especially the flowers...AGH!!! Here's a more recent work! The contrast is gorgeous and I adore the shapes in this so much.

Retroautomaton's art has this overall pleasantness and smoothness to it that makes me feel like I'm drinking a milkshake, but like in visual form. Here's a few pieces I especially like. The fluidity and sense of movement in the lines/figures along with the bright, poppy colors is just!!! so lovely!!!!

ArtsyDudeJude's pieces are so EXPRESSIVE!!! The way he really pushes facial expressions in particular is super inspiring - all his original character design stuff in general is tbh. I look at linework like his and go. man I couldn't do that but it looks SO GOOD. Here's some of my favorites!

Last one I swear but I wanna mention my pal Dana, RedEyesRetroDragon on here! The way she stylizes characters is SO fun and dynamic I love it a lot. I don't know barely a thing about ygo BUT I care these guys bc of Dana's art. PLUS her inking!!!! Holy woah! LOOK AT THIS PIECE!!! AND THIS ONE!!

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?

Hmm this is hard! Usually when I get reception on my art it's really kind and lovely and when I don't, I generally chalk it up to people just not being online/not seeing it at that time so I don't worry too much about it.

I suppose...since I draw a lot of fanart, it's easier for my original stuff to sort of slip by the wayside. So I'll use this one as an opportunity to gush a bit about this piece I did a little while ago!

People have left some really kind and sweet comments on it so I can't say it's underrated but it is my favorite original piece I've ever done. I felt clever about the caption because you can see it a few different ways - maybe 'taking form' refers to the canvas, reaching out and taking over the person. Or maybe the person is reaching IN, merging with the painting. Maybe the painting isn't taking form as in stealing, but taking form as in manifesting itself a human body. The possibilities are endless! Also I like the silly goofy expression here <3

OH AND WHILE I'M HERE. This piece is also not underrated but this was pretty cool too.

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

SO MANY!!!!! But the first one that comes to mind is photography! Photography is so cool and fascinating and while I don't think I could ever get /super/ into it, I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for the craft! A good photograph is SOOO satisfying to look at, like it's literally the art of composition and lighting!! How cool is that??

ALSO music!!! Gah I want to make my own music so badly!!! But there's SO MANY building blocks I'm finding it kind of difficult to learn. That said I have such an appreciation for people who make songs and sounds and things!! OH AND SOUND EFFECTS. EDITING. THAT'S AN ART TOO AND I LOVE IT.

Production work in general!!! To me it's art and it's beautiful and I want to be a part of it. If I could have any job in the world no questions asked, I would want to work in stage lighting. Concerts, theatre, idc, that kinda work is right up my alley. There's just something I adore about like, all the little details that go into making a production work that most people don't think about or notice because it's designed not to be noticed, but people still worked on it!!! People still put their time and effort and craftsmanship into it! <3 <3 <3

this is about to turn into a whole essay about all the different art mediums i love efjkdshajhg Sorry this is so long but i really can gush for hours about this stuff. Thank you so SO much for sending these!!!

#THANK U AGAIN #i have so much love in my heart for art #i also keep a folder full of art pieces i rly lke that ive reblogged over the years #im at almost 2000 images now and nowhere near done sorting everything

Tasting the Ashes Chapter 18 and Chapter 19 are so good!!!

"JAKE IS GONNA PROPOSE AGAIN" - and apparently, you CAN'T KEEP A SECRET BRADLEY!!! But I love everyone's supportive reactions, especially Mav's "I'm so proud of you, son" - it's so sweet and wholesome and what a good dad would say!!!🥹💗 Love it!!!💗

Jinx being in both the Boys Only and Top Girls chat is honestly the best thing!!! And refusing to spy on the girls with the "That comes with great responsibility" line is sooo good!!! Also, I find it so hilarious that Mav is the one who suggests the spying, hahaha. And Bradley being the thoughtful little sweetheart who put Jinx in the chat is also so lovely! 💗 Also love how they want to know more about Jinx's gender fluidity 💗

"Let me guess, you gave her the ring" - of course Bob knows!!! Hahaha, there are no secrets before him

KNB CHARACTERS AS BENDERS // Headcanons

A/N: currently on my annual rewatch of Avatar: The Last Airbender, so my brain had to do some mashups yk

Context: if these KNB characters were in ATLA, what kind of bender would they be?

Includes: GOM + Kuroko + Kagami + Momoi

Warning: none (maybe a bit spoiler-ish if you haven't watched ATLA?)

AKASHI

Without a doubt, he's a firebender

Because in the ATLA lore, fire is symbol of power

Also red really is his colour lmao

I'd even say he's the firelord

Not in a megalomaniac, genocide commiting, Ozai way

But in a royalty, knows how to gouvern a whole nation way

I wanna say he's the most powerful firebender out there too... but is he?

I think he is obviously very skilled, but since firebending requires aggression and Akashi is more the kind to think his actions, I don't think he's the most powerful

He's crazy good though, that's for sure

My dude trains more than anyone else to perfectionnate his bending

100% can lighting bend because he's self-aware enough to control his emotion and achieve the mental state to do so

MIDORIMA

I'm very tempted to say that green boy is an earthbender because of his colour palette

But I'd say he's an earthbender because of who he is

In canon, earthbenders are very traditional, down-to-earth, and conventional

They follow rules, and it's all about being anchored

So that would make sense

I also think he'd be a professor at the Ba Sing Se university because he's smart

He could also be a general

Regardless of his position in the Earth Kingdom, he is a respected earthbender

He trains a lot, knows all the forms perfectly

And he gives a certain elegance to that form of bending too

Might be the only earthbender out there with perfectly manicured hands lol

Kinda going outside of ATLA here and touching into TLOK lore but he'd be such a skilled mental bender

Like Zao Fu citizen level of good at mental bending

KISE

See, this one is hard

Because personality wise he doesn't really align with any of the four nations and their philosophies

His personality is so volatile (gemini king things), lowkey tempted to make him the Avatar lol

Which would make sense, because just like he can assimilate the techniques of other players, he can master all forms of bending

My only issue with this, is that he doesn't come off as selfless and wise enough to be the Avatar

I know he'd help someone if need be, but I feel like he's more willing to put his life on the line for those he loves

Whereas being the Avatar recquires to risk your life for everyone regardless of your relationship to them

Unless he is willing to learn how to become a mediator and servant of the people

But even if he is the Avatar, he needs to come from a specific nation

Given how he's good at getting along with people, he can probably be an airbender

He doesn't have the monk vibe with him but Air Nomads are known for their diplomatic nature

Kinda fits him I guess

He can also be a water bender, but I cannot visualize him doing water bending, if that makes any sense?

AOMINE

Fire? yes, BUT

He has a lot of fluidity in his movements, which makes me think of water (obviously)

I'd say that Daiki is the child of a firebender and a waterbender

So he's inherited the firebending, but he uses waterbending techniques

Leave it to Daiki to have the most unconventional technique in all of the Fire Nation

Fire makes sense for him because he can be quite passionate when it comes to it, you know

I could have gone with waterbending solely, but I can't see him aligning with the spirit of it

Like waterbenders are expected to adapt to change easily, but I don't think Daiki can do that

Love the guy, but the last time he's gone through a major change in his life, he went into depression sooo

Whereas fire relies on power and passion, both of which he has

So yeah, he's gotta be a firebender with waterbender moves

MURASAKIBARA

In canon, airbenders are the tallest people so the easy choice would to make his giant ass an airbender

But personality wise, it doesn't work

He's a grumpy introvert, I can't see him go around being wise and nice lmao

Also he's lazy like, can you see him flying around and shit?

Based on that, I want to make him an earthbender

Solely because that bending style recquires to be grounded, so basically you need to have a solid base and then you bend

This wouldn't ask him to move a lot

I mean, yeah, he'd still have to move a bit lol

But less than the other bending style

And I can 100% see him being one of these naturally gifted benders

My boy can carve a mountain effortlessly

He'd be that good

Also can see him love Earth Kingdom food more than any other nation's cuisine

KUROKO

He'd be such a good waterbender omg

I don't think I need to justify myself too much here because it just makes sense

He's got the fluidity, and the ability to adapt to situations

Also his values align with Water Tribe values

It's all about protecting the community and working together, and Kuroko is all about team work so that make sense

Also I know in canon, there's no male waterbender that can heal

But I know he'd be a healer too

I really don't know what to say more because to me it's an evidence, you know?

KAGAMI

FIREBENDER. PERIOD.

Although with his jumping abilities he could be an airbender

But come on

It's literally in his name

He's so damn passionate and lively

Maybe a bit aggressive too, so it fits perfectly

I said that I don't think Akashi would be the best firebender out there, and that's because Kagami exists

Firebender! Kagami has such fire inside of him that it's like he's invented firebending himself

I think he perfectly represents the spirit of firebending

Also can you see him having his own dragon

(Side note: he'd be so hot in Fire Nation clothes)

MOMOI

She's got major Ty Lee vibes

But Ty Lee is a non-bender sooo

I was thinking waterbender, because she's caring and stuff

But airbender? Makes absolute sense too

Because girl is a pacifist

Also Momo-Momoi

See? She's made to be an airbender

No, in all seriousness it does fit her

She's a people's person who has everyone's best interest at heart

Like airbenders

So it fits in that sense

Although I can't really see her with the airbender tattoos though lmao

Regardless, she'd be good at it too!

Yeah, airbender! Momoi <3

#fun fact: i've done a atla x knb series of drawing once #drew aomine as a water tribe guy and he was hot hihi #anyways #i like doing fun hcs like that #knb #kuroko no basuke #akashi seijūrō #midorima shintarou #kise ryōta #aomine daiki #murasakibara atsushi #kuroko tetsuya #kagami taiga #momoi satsuki #knb headcanons #knb hcs #generation of miracles

having theater-in-the-round thoughts <3

#edward ii you're sooo good but soooo weirdly paced i want to fix you shaking you around in my head #i think shaking things up with some amount of staging would be good for it #especially since a concrete set would also feel weird to the amount of switching and scene changes #only issue i could see is lighting with the space that we have...#it's such a choppy show it needs fluidity and tension...oh the brainworms have settled in

Click here to be added to the TAGLIST and to let me know about your fic preferences. 💖

Yeonjun was soft, oversize hoodies, sweaty hugs, the fluidity of dance moves, the duality of him on and off-stage, the green tea shampoo he used, the cherry blossom detergent he washed his practice clothes with, and the gentle smile looking back at you in the mirror.

You and Yeonjun met at a dance studio. Not so surprising because he was a professional dancer there, but you didn’t know that, and you went there for a beginner hip-hop class because you had been eyeing it for some time, and you finally decided to give it a try. Since you had never been to the practice rooms before, only at the offices to hand in your application, you asked the receptionist where you would find the practice room for the beginner-level class starting at 7. She told you the directions, and then you went on your way.

Initially, you were very confident, remembering every direction the receptionist had just told you, but when you walked into a practice room, and only one sweaty boy was there, you were quick to turn on your heels.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to interrupt you,” you apologised with a semi-awkward smile, knowing all too well that your teacher would be a female dancer, so it couldn’t be your teacher who was there before the beginning of the class.

Not to mention that this boy looked as if he had run a marathon, sweating through his grey hoodie (yet not discarding it) and panting while you were excusing yourself. He wore sneakers and shorts with the hoodie which seemed like an odd combination to you since you were the type to feel cold in your legs first, but maybe he felt cold in his upper body first.

He raised his hands in the air, motioning you to stop, and you did so, taking in his slender figure, those deep, jet-black orbs and those fluffy, midnight-black locks. He ran a hand through his hair before clearing his throat, speaking up.

“No, it’s fine. Have you booked the slot after mine?” he inquired as he put his hands on his hips, furrowing his eyebrows as if he wanted to make sure that he didn’t interrupt your practice session which couldn’t have been further from the truth.

“Uhmm well, no. I was looking for the practice room for the beginner-level hip-hop class, and I’ve thought that it would be this one, but it turns out it’s not,” you stated the obvious, letting out a chuckle, soon followed by the boy’s wholehearted laughter.

“Ah, that’s fine. This place is like a labyrinth,” he added casually, probably to soothe your nerves, but if anything, him with that lopsided smile, his sweaty yet attractive state, and those warm eyes only made your nerves act up even more. “Let me help you find your practice room,” he suggested in a friendly way, but you were quick to protest.

“Oh, no, you don’t need to! I wouldn’t want to keep you up.”

“You’re not keeping me up. I was supposed to finish about half an hour ago, but I got carried away,” he admitted a bit sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck. He averted his eyes to the clock on the wall, nodding to himself as if confirming that he was indeed staying longer than he wanted, then looking back at you. The way he looked at you so expectantly made your heart go wild, and you really couldn’t say no to him when he looked at you like that.

“Well, thanks in advance then,” you gave in, flashing him a friendly smile, and he did the same, jogging up to you to fall in step with you.

While you were walking towards the practice room he thought where the class would be (he told you that beginner-level classes were in a different section of the building, and usually night classes were held in the same rooms each day), you exchanged introductions. The boy even told you about how he had ended up at the HYBE Dance Studio, and you listened to him attentively, absorbing his words as if it was medicine. It could be seen based on even such a short conversation how much he loved dancing, and it made you smile - his passion and enthusiasm for something that you had been also eyeing for some time. Sure, you didn’t want to become a professional dancer yourself, but his enthusiasm was definitely contagious. You felt like you were at the right place to learn dance.

That day, before you would say goodbye to each other, he gave you his Kakaotalk ID in case you needed help with the directions in the building, or if you needed help with dancing, and you couldn’t help but blush deeply, not knowing just how much time you would spend with him in the future.

Yeonjun was childlike sulking, flirty remarks and teasing smiles, the energy that lifted you up, the joy that slowly crawled into your days, the warmth that spreaded through your veins whenever he was around, and the sunshine peaking through the clouds after a stormy night.

After your first encounter, Yeonjun started dropping by the practice room where your class was, and while it was initially embarrassing because he would come to see you dance and practice with the others, and you were nowhere near good, it became less awkward after a while. The boy was as supportive as one could be, and he usually stayed after the classes to help you whenever you were under the weather because you didn’t get a sequence right. And even though he would take it seriously to help you with dancing, otherwise he was joking around so much that your stomach usually hurt after meeting him. He wasn’t afraid of breaking into twerking or dancing foolishly, but he also showed you the Watermelon Sugar & Blow performance he was working on, and it literally blew your mind.

“You can’t tell me you find my dancing enjoyable when you dance like this,” you chuckled, sinking down to the ground to do some cool down exercises.

The boy dropped a lazy, pretty smug grin, and you wished you could give him the satisfaction of not seeing you affected by his actions, but your cheeks flushed immediately, and he caught sight of that which pulled his lips into an even wider grin.

“But it’s soooo cute!” He cooed as he leaned closer and raised his voice to sound more high-pitched. You laughed, nudging his shoulder to hide your embarrassment at his words (and also to push him further from you because he appeared dangerously close). Yeonjun joined you in on the laughter, then cleared his throat.

“Anyways, dancing isn’t just about how it looks. It’s also about how it feels, and it can be seen that you enjoy it, and that you’re confident even though the moves may not be on point all the time. You may not believe it, but it’s something that people who have been dancing for years find difficult: to appear confident. So that’s why I like watching you dance. You have the confidence and the passion, and it shows.”

You were speechless, safe to say. No one had ever said such a monologue about your dancing even though you showed some practice videos to your friends and family, so he wasn’t the only one who saw you dancing like that. Yet, maybe he was the only one who actually saw you; saw you behind the hairflips and the hip moves and all those confident facial expressions.

Given that he was a professional dancer himself, his compliment felt extra nice, but you couldn’t deny that you were affected by his words to this extent because you had warmed up to each other in the last few months, and maybe, just maybe, someone had fallen in love along the way. Yeonjun was easy to be around, and you found yourself looking forward to your dance practices more because you could meet him afterwards than because of the practice itself. It was silly, you knew, especially since the boy seemed generally very flirty, but the more time you spent together, the stronger your feelings grew, and you couldn’t help it.

So it was not only because of his compliment that your cheeks were tinted burgundy, but of course, Yeonjun being Yeonjun, he couldn’t not comment on your very much obvious reaction.

“Ooooh, you’re blushing!” Yeonjun teased as he pointed at your face, and you yanked his hand away in an attempt to counterattack him, but he didn’t back down. Instead, he let you try and push his hands away time and time again until he caught your wrist and pulled you closer.

You gulped as you looked into his jet-black orbs. You saw your reflection in his eyes, and you wondered what he could see in that moment. You saw him, the slightly amused tugging of his lips, the curiosity bathing in caution in his eyes, the drops of sweat sliding down his slightly heated cheeks, the defined features of a 20-something boy, and you knew in that moment that you lost. You lost against your feelings for him.

“Where does your confidence go whenever you’re close to me like this?” he inquired, but instead of a teasing edge to his words, there was gentleness lacing his question, and it made your heart drop.

“You have this effect on me. I can’t help it,” you admitted, almost as a whisper, a secret shared between the beating hearts of yours, the air around you two still and heavy with questions and anticipation.

“You can be confident around me. I won’t hurt you,” he breathed out as he leaned even closer, close enough for you to hear his even breathing and his steady heartbeat. So he was actually this calm when he was so close to you? His heart didn’t race as yours did. Maybe it’s because everything was written on your face already, but you… you didn’t quite want to believe that he was feeling this way.

“I know,” you confirmed feebly, already falling, falling so hard, but if he was there to catch you, you didn’t mind. He made you dizzy, his closeness making you lightheaded, and the air between you two was searing, and you were afraid that you would burn to ashes if you weren’t careful. But maybe he wasn’t the fire itself, he was the match that lit up the fire inside of you.

“Then, what are you afraid of?”

“It’s scary…” You started, your breath hitching in your throat when you saw his eyelashes fall heavily, painting dark little crescents under his eyes. However, when you continued, he opened his eyes, as if waking from a daze. “It’s scary how much I can feel and how intensively.”

“You’re not the only one who feels that way,” he confessed softly as a small smile was making its way onto his mellow lips, and you were mesmerized by the simplicity yet complexity of such a gaze, of such a touch, of such a proximity. You were feeling nothing and everything at the same time, you felt heavy and weightless, your heartbeat was loud and silent. Everything was like this with him; having two sides, making you feel so deeply.

Yet, when he leaned even closer, the world went quiet, and your heartbeat didn’t bother you anymore. You were bewitched, you were drugged, you were under his spell, but you didn’t want to escape from it. You would gladly stay like that, your lips slowly exploring each other’s, your breaths intertwined, your hands fitting like two halves of the same heart, and your love being engraved into each other’s memories.

Yeonjun was mint chocolate-flavoured kisses, amusement park dates, random plushie gifts out of the blue, mirror selfies being sent each and every day, proud smiles whenever he could call you his girlfriend, and couple outfits that he picked out for the two of you.

Honestly, just as much as you were different with Yeonjun, you found out that you two were pretty compatible with each other despite all of your differences. While you prompted him to do better with his time management, he helped you to loosen up; while you reminded him to take breaks between his dance practices, he was there to assist you whenever you were struggling with a part in a choreography; while you were sometimes very much affected by others' opinion about you, he was there to tell you time and time again that you were enough just the way you were, and whenever he doubted himself because of a mistake he made, you supported him, even if it meant repeating the same soothing words into the phone at 2AM or getting him his favourite mint choco ice cream.

With him, every day felt like a new chance, a new opportunity to learn more about each other, and while you had initially assumed that he was always very confident, very flirty and sometimes very smug, he could be doubtful and shy and going into his little shell, but you loved him even more because he dared to show you such sides of him. You did the same, too, though it was difficult to not feel like a bother whenever you were down, cried because of something that someone said to you, and you just wanted to escape reality. He was there to remind you that he wanted to listen to you, take care of you and see you even if you were under the weather because you did the same, and because he wanted yours to be a genuine relationship.

Sure, there were ups and downs, but for all the times you shared a wholehearted laughter, for all the times he ruffled your hair only for you to do the same to him, for all the times he backhugged you in the middle of showing him a choreography you were taught, for all the rare times he blushed and pursed his lips when he was trying to hide how pleased he was, for all the times you could call him your boyfriend and he did the same, for all the times he greeted you with a quick, sweet peck on the lips and said goodbye to you with a long, remedy-like kiss, and for all the times you felt found and loved and cared for, you would have never regretted meeting him.

Not to mention that going on dates was always an adventure with him. Sometimes it was because he was so clumsy, and literally anything could happen to him while he was doing something (like how he almost fell into a pond while you were visiting a traditional Korean palace, how he spilled coffee onto you the first time you went on a coffee shop date, how he tripped over himself and fell to the ground while you were trying to find your seats in the already dark cinema hall and so on…), you just enjoyed being together with him, no matter the outcome.

No wonder you were so curious as to what you could expect that day, but wanting it to be a secret, Yeonjun kept his mouth shut, failing to hide his smirk whenever you gave him a glare on your way to the place he was taking you. You took the bus together, and you were playing the sulky one, pouting as if it could change his mind.

“Nope. I won’t tell you. You can look at me with those puppy eyes, but I won’t tell you. What’s the fun in that?” He stuck his tongue out at you, and you scoffed at that.

“You know I like routines, and I like planning ahead,” you reminded him as you crossed your arms in front of your chest as if you were actually angry with him, hoping that he would get the sign and try to make it up to you.

However, the boy merely let out a chuckle (a genuine, joyous one that was filled with affection, care and amusement), and leaned closer to ruffle your hair.

“I know that very well, but it’s my job as your boyfriend to surprise you from time to time. You don’t want a boring boyfriend, right?” He wiggled his eyebrows, and gosh, how could you object? He was right, he was so damn right, and he knew it. He liked acting so cocky when he knew he was right, you just tried to deny it (and you usually failed terribly because your blushing cheeks gave you away), but you liked when he was acting like that, you just wouldn’t want to admit it.

“Well, I guess you might be right…” You said with a sigh just as the bus came to a halt, and the boy grabbed your arm, hurrying you to get off because it was your stop. In a hurry, you both ran to the nearest door and hopped down, panting from the abrupt jog. Then, you exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. That was just so like him; so like the dates you were on with him.

You needed to walk a bit further to get where the boy planned your day to be, but when you saw the sign by the entrance, your hands flew to your mouth in disbelief.

“Oh my gosh! You really brought me here!” You exclaimed beamingly as you turned to the boy who boasted a content smile.

“Well, yeah, I’ve remembered that you said that you couldn’t have a dog while you were growing up, and you can’t do now either because you rent a flat and you wouldn’t want to burden your flatmates, so I’ve figured you might still enjoy walking some dogs,” the boy explained thoroughly, and just by his words, you realised yet again just how attentively he was listening to you, and how much he remembered about what you had said in the past.

He was right, so bringing you to an animal shelter to walk the poor dogs that were still stuck there was literally the sweetest, most wholesome date he could have planned. You both got one puppy at first, and you walked them around the green area that was around the animal shelter, but you didn’t stop there. You were there literally the whole afternoon, walking the dogs and playing with them, and just as good as the boy was with people, he befriended the doggies pretty quickly, and you had such a fun time with him and the cute pets that you took dozens of pictures and videos, and you still looked at them as you were on your way back home on the bus.

“I’ve told you it would be worth it, right?” Yeonjun teased you, and you didn’t even want to counterattack him. You had the best day ever, and you felt like you could hug him forever, that’s just how thankful you were.

“You were right. Thank you so so so much again!” You said, pressing a kiss on his cheek before snuggling up to him to rest your head in the croak of his neck while you intertwined your fingers with his. It seemed just so fitting, so perfectly fitting: your hands in his, your hearts beating at the same time, your memories being displayed in your head.

“You’ve already said that and I’ve already said it, but you’re welcome,” he mentioned with a slight chuckle, and pressed a soft kiss on your forehead.

Yeonjun was the light and the dark, the hope and the sorrow, the hard work and the joyous play, he was all the colours on a palette, both the sunset and the sunrise, and the fragrance of the cherry blossoms at the beginning of dawn, inviting you on a hopeful journey, transitioning nature rotationally.

Yeonjun was Yeonjun, the love of your life, the centre of your universe, the guardian of your dreams, and the heart that you wished to make lively and happy for the rest of your life, and you needed nothing more than that because he was everything you could have asked for - forever and more.
