“Don’t Worry Wanda!”

Just sketches for now - I'll actually color them...one day. I really wanted to go with as many different artstyles

"It is a bad moment to pronounce the word love. No matter, I do pronounce it. And I glorify it. Love, the future is thine. Death, I make use of thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, in the future there will be neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance, nor bloody retaliation. As there will be no more Satan, there will be no more Michael. In the future no one will kill any one else, the earth will beam with radiance, the human race will love. The day will come, citizens, when all will be concord, harmony, light, joy and life; it will come, and it is in order that it may come that we are about to die."

- Les Miserables, "Saint-Denis", Book XII, chapter VIII.

I got the commission from the incredible @pufferfishartblogorsth for Barricade Day 2023!

Little comic about two aot characters I really like

I did fanarts of orange characters this week! Next color is black! :) I know it should be red but I want to do black so don’t beef with me! 😄

If you like my work, a follow on Instagram would be appreciated, Im fighting with the algorithm these days and I have to figure out how to make engaging reels ☠️

Welp....

The more I think that new ATLA comic the angrier I get.

Aside from stupid retcons like Mai never really liking Azula and only befriending her because of her father despite how she acted in the series. Yk, Mai, who was actually happy to see Azula... She definitely faked it! No, no, you see, Mai, who as a kid willingly expressed her anger at Azula when she played that game with her and Zuko just really wanted to suck up to her. Yeah, expressing anger at a girl you are trying to suck up to - good retc... I mean writing! (especially since it was the only time we actually got to see little Mai and little Azula interact in the cartoon)

But Azula... oh God, where do I even start. Aside from obvious demonisation (at this point they could just replace Azula with literal demon and nothing would change, she is given 0 humanity) I just hate how the bloody comic tried to paint "Everyone will betray you" as something not only she already believed as a child but also as a common belief in Fire Nation????

I am sorry but what? Look, I get royals advising their children to be wary and all but aside from that.... this is so wrong on so many levels:

A) "Trust noone, even your friends will turn on you" is something that so deeply resonated with Azula because of who SHE was and because of HER life circumstances. She felt as if her mother, whose love she desperately wanted, loved Zuko far more and even disappeared from HER life forever just to protect her brother (an ultimate act of showing favoritism - at least according to Azula), her uncle also preffered Zuko over her, her brother, who she deeply loved, betrayed both her and her nation AFTER SHE ESSENTIALLY GAVE HIM THE THRONE and in the end one of her friends betrayed her for her brother (who her mother and uncle already "chose" over her) and the other betrayed her for said other friend. "Everyone betrays me" is Azula's theme, giving her this ideology before she goes through any of the events that show her (according to her) that she is unloveable, imperfect and unable to control others just undermines the whole point of her character, her perfectionism, using fear as a means of control and her eventual fall into madness.

B) This just sucks from worldbuilding perspective. Yes, royals advising their children to be wary of some other kids makes sense. But being wary of every single other kid all the time is nonsense. Assuming it were truly a FN value that war wouldn't be fought for 100 years. Yes, Fire Lord is the most important person who makes all the decisions but that level of mistrust among royals in court would be disasterous. Also, it just isn't in the spirit of militarism. Fire Nation is supposed to be highly militaristic nation - you know what is in complete opposition to that? The message of "Don't trust your comrades!"

And finally... an Agni Kai. Look mate, if an Agni Kai was fought every time a child insults other child's honour, it would be fought 10 times a day and not "3 times while I was a student". There was a reason it was such a big deal in the series and why Zuko fighting in one as a child was so cruel (also cos Ozai was his dad), if it is also used to settle down arguments between 8 year olds because one called another's father a traitor it would just be both stupid and highly impractical.

Also personal but I really wanted more Maiko....

LOK Fanart - Déjà-Vu 

Don’t summon the Ghost of Betrayals Past, he’s still angry.

Took me like a month for this one. Trust me, I'd love to finish it much sooner but schoolwork kinda got in the way and I had to study for my midterms... But anyway

HI THIS IS A LONG RANT ABOUT A VERY OBVIOUS REALIZATION I CAME TO EARLIER TONIGHT DISCLAIMER I AM NOT BY ANY MEANS A JAGERIST AND THIS MIGHT NOT MAKE ANY SENSE

maybe im reading into things too much or maybe this is just common knowledge and im just really slow to find out about it but i just realized that there is some sick and twisted manipulation going on between eren and floch. like. eren really saw the one person who lost everything so abruptly and violently and was like "im gonna convince him the only way to keep his current living friends and family alive is to join my mass murder supervillian genocide plan" and holy shit i just put two and two together

OF COURSE floch's a jagerist he has arguably been through more than (most) of the main cast!!!! and eren's cause promises that he'll never have to suffer that again!!!! its so fucking obvious to me now ohhghhh my godd

OF COURSE he's gonna side with a violent plan he has no lived experience of conflict being solved with diplomacy none of these characters really have but its about how violently his worldview was flipped on its head

i cant remember if he was garrison or mp but either way the fucking whiplash of relatively cozy interior life to literally his first mission HE COMES BACK THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF (that side of the shinganshina wall) YEAH THATD FUCK SOMEONE UP

he is a bonkers good representation of radicalization as a result of trauma and i will not shut up about him

tldr: eren knew what he was doing targeting floch (and floch's probably pretty fragile mental state) into joining his genocide club

hug.
