The Sun

i'm self-indulging at this point — but i wanted to explore more of the expressive-tango-hair-thing, and i wanted to draw ranchers (ofc), and it became... this, 4am comic

since i made a point of "blue hair tango = sad," my thought here is that dungeon master tango has some connection with the wardens of the dungeon. since theyre "mourners," their feelings seep into him, and he's just. perpetually feeling their sadness. which is why he's always blue.

(also this would take place during the crossover in ranch 2)

THAT IS DANA

DANA LOOKING ON AND SAYING GOODBYE

Has anyone else noticed that traits people associate with Shaggy smoking weed could easily be explained with severe anxiety?

Shaggy doesn’t say “like” and talk stuttery because he’s a stoner. He’s unsure of what he’s saying and is constantly tripping over his own thoughts

Shaggy doesn’t always have the munchies. He’s stress eating. He’s just grown an appreciation for food since

Shaggy isn't leaning forward because he’s slouching. That and his wide eyed expression comes from being on constant alert

Shaggy likes mysteries. But his main driving force is his friends. He does have a passion here. But in truth, he doesn’t want to let his friends down. He feels like them and Scooby are the only family he truly has

Shaggy doesn’t do drugs. He just has intense anxiety

this sunday i’m going to be doing a stream all about the pandemic, lockdown and it’s negative affects on people and how it’s still affecting people still today!

i’m gonna also use the stream itself as a tool to convert into a youtube video so there can be more accurate representations of the pandemic and it’s affects rather than the current ones that are out there

You know, as horrible as that Velma show is, seeing everyone online band together and unanimously denounce it is very heartwarming to witness. The internet is a pretty divisive and argumentative place, so watching people across every platform unify against Velma is a refreshing experience to say the least.

As a lifelong Scooby Doo fan, knowing that everyone is in agreement that the Velma show is mean-spirited, unnatural, and wrong definitely feels good.

Something I'm obsessed about is.. How some hermits come off in other people's videos vs their own videos

Scar can feel infinitely more threatening in others' videos whilst in his own pov he seems so fun and cheery. One of my favorite example is his audience with Ren. From his POV he comes off as just messing around, not really listening and just doing his own thing because he doesn't really respect Ren, not really

From ren's pov he comes off as terrifying - you watch Ren have his audience and assert his authority with the rest of his court, and then Scar walks in, and he takes complete control of the scene. Where others listened, nodded, and kneeled - Scar strolls to the throne at his side, sits, and smiles condescendingly as Ren demands scar sell his gigapies.

Whereas from Scar's point of view it's one of his endless swindling moments, when he tries to negotiate the whole thing, from ren's pov he just comes off as... So... Terrifying? Its hard to put into words. He won't budge. Faced with a monarch he supposedly swore his fealty for, for whom he's killed and brought the head of resistance members... He continues to stand tall, chin up, and refuse his frivolities.

It's just... So interesting to me.

Similarly, Joel in the life series - particularly last life - almost always comes off as so unhinged, unpredictable and violent. He's scary in a different way than scar, like an rabid dog.

But if you watch Joel's povs he's so soggy and pathetic. Even in last life. Especially in last life. Rather than a rabid dog he's suddenly a shaking chihuahua, barking and growling at everything that comes his way but obviously helpless.

There's many more examples. How aloof grian comes off from other people's point of view is a good one. It's just... Interesting to me.

I myself struggle a lot with understanding the way I come off to other people. Coworkers and friends will describe me in ways that will genuinely surprise me. When watching the hermits/lifers, you can see this phenomenon from both angles, in a way. It's a nice little case study. How someone comes off when you have an intimate knowledge of their intentions and thought processes vs how they come off from an outside perspective.

*SPOILER ALERT*

You know what the best part of Watching and Dreaming for me was? The fact that it opens SO MANY doors for fans to discuss or make content. There's Hunter's new palisman, the University of Wild Magic, the political state of the Boiling Isles, and so much more. We're not going to run out of TOH content anytime soon.

You know, it’s cool to think of the Life SMPs as like. A trap or experiment or something else that means the players have no power. But personally I think it’s funnier to imagine it as like. A vacation resort. Like when Grian’s asking people to join he just wakes them up in the middle of the night like ‘aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you just wanna go apeshitt??” And everyone else just keeps coming back because it’s fun!! No one else gets it. Everyone who hasn’t gone to the life series is horrified. But the lifers are just like “ahaha yayyy time to go fucking insane everybody 👍”

Grians appearance / skin never changing no matter what life he’s on has to be symbolic of something, just hear me out.

He’s really the same person in and out whether he’s red life or not. He can be just as cruel, just as blood thirsty. It doesn’t affect him the way it affects everyone else. The way other red names will go mad and their eyes will turn that blood red color, Grians eyes will remain those same beady brown beads they were before he died. Whether he’s your friend or your worst enemy, he will look at you with his tiny innocent eyes. His red sweater will not change color, perhaps the red motif in every design shows that he if Grian wants you dead, you will be dead whether he’s on red name or not.

I think I can also use this idea to add to the Grian watcher theory. The lives don’t change his thoughts in the same way, not having as much control over him. With his higher level of knowledge and inner workings of their world, he uses the lives to his advantage. Always reminding people “he’s on red life, he’s allowed to do that.” But Grian himself doesnt actually feel that change. He will push people from cliffs, lure creepers to his friends side till they explode, whether he is green yellow or red. Because at the end of the day, despite that horribly red colored sweater, Grian is the color purple. Always a watcher.
