So Uh, I Wanted To Do This? I Thought It’d Be Fun, And Brough It Up With @help-im-a-gay-fish Who Suggested

I’m a cis-gender man which basically means that, when I was born, the doctor went “It’s a boy!” and when I was old enough to understand I agreed with him.

The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man.  I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little.  I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests.  I never cared about sports or cars or guns.  I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts.  I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.

It’s not physical either.  I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard.  If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume).  I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.

I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me.  I’m a man.  I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated.  I feel like a man because of something beyond that.  Something ephemeral.  So, why couldn’t others feel the same?  Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?

And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one?  Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?

Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form?  If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap?  If so, why?  Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?

Why do people feel like they are the gender that they are?

“I’m addicted to the sorrow, when the buzz ends by tomorrow. There’s another rush of poison flowing into my veins, giving me a dose of pleasure that resides by the pain. I’m addicted, I’m dependent, looking awesome feeling helpless”

This music video was amazing! This song has been stuck in my head all weekend. It was just wow. Poor Angel hopefully things will get better for him.

I haven’t drawn these characters in my style before, hope I did it justice :)

Just as a warning. For those of you who don’t know hazbin hotel (it’s awesome and you should) its for adults and this music video has mature themes.

Hazbin hotel belongs to vivziepop and their team.

here have 10 pieces of writing advice that have stuck with me over the years

every character’s first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person

even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that’s still one sentence more than you had yesterday

exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them

if your characters have to kiss to show they’re in love, then they’re not in love

make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favorite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you

if you’re stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in a different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholders

don’t compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts

i promise you the story you want to tell can fit into 100k words or less

sometimes the book isn’t working because it’s not ready to be written or you’re not ready to write it yet; let it marinate for a bit so the idea can develop as you become a better writer

a story written in chronological order takes a lot more discipline and is usually easier to understand than a story written with flashbacks

quick question: hat or no hat?

The Best Cartoon Villain in 2010′s

With the 2010s is coming to a close, they were many villains in modern cartoons that were quite interesting at first but as time passes they became not as interesting that many people thought they were While many people talk about Bill Cipher, White Diamond, Lord Dominator, Lich or Toffee being well-written antagonist but there is one villain that I believe he’s the greatest and not many talks about him and his name is Noximilian the Clockmaker 

Nox is one of the best modern cartoon villains that was written, even better than Toffee but what makes him so great? Let me explain why he is 

Before the show began, Nox was a well-gifted clockmaker/inventor, a loving father, and a loving husband however very poor do to debts but still a loving family

That was until he found the Eliacube.

 The cube has unimagined power that he thought was impossible like he learns a bit of Xelor magic which they are time mages. He studied the Eliacube which caused him to hardly eat nor sleep and spending less time with the family. 

A week passed and when he finally left his workshop, he finds a note from his wife that she took his children and moved to her sister due to him being more focus on the cube than his family.

 As he was about to find his family, the cube didn’t allow him to leave, it called him and he answered making his transformation from a loving-father to a maniac complete. 

After two months, Nox’s landlord arrives to see him and what he saw was a completely different man. Instead of asking him for his debt, he came to inform Nox that his family is dead. Ogrest chaos flooded the island that they were living in. He didn’t believe him at first but then he sees visions of the island being destroyed and that’s when his mind breaks. 

He lost his family because his obsession for the cube gotten the better to him but it spoke to him that maybe it isn’t too late if he just goes back in time and erases all of his mistakes. He could even be more powerful than the Xelor god himself and all he needs is a massive amount of Wakfu (magic) to be able to do it and he spends 200 years gathering Wakfu by laying waste to multiple countries and killing people with Wakfu so he can go back in time to see his family. 

Now in present time of the show.

The story begins with Nox discovers that Grougalorgan who has a large amount of Wakfu, seemingly pushing baby Yugo who is an Elitrope, a forgotten race (the protagonist of the show) in his baby carriage.

 He challenges him but was ultimately defeated. Although he was beaten, he laughs that he finds out Grougalgorgan is a dragon disguised as a human and he vows that he’ll acquire his Wakfu one day. 

Twelve years later, Nox tracks Grougalorgan trail once again. Yugo is now twelve-years-old and is on a search for his real parents with his friends. Although Nox is absent in the first part of the story he is tracking their movement in hoping their journey will lead him to the dragon. 

He finally finds him on an island and they clash. 

In their fight, Nox was more prepared than their previous encounter by using his drones to either attack Grougalorgan

Or heal him 

Using three corpses that he killed previously as his puppet to fight for him 

And he tries his best not to use too much Wakfu 

Although he has beaten him once again he let his guard down and able to defeat him. When Nox was able to take the dragon Wakfu, Grougalorgan sees that he isn’t evil and warns him that danger he’ll do if his plan succeeds. Nox response is this 

“The end of the world? Is that really important? If I succeed, no one will care because it will all begin again! If I fail, I don’t care if the world survives or not!” 

However he fails on stealing his Wakfu by self-destructing himself and after that he appears to Yugo and his friends that what Nox will do next and they must stop him, gathering Wakfu from the Tree of Life. 

Nox launch his invasion at the Sadida Kingdom, where the Tree of Life is by sending his minions and machines against Sadida army. Yugo and his friends showed up to face off Nox for one last time but as they battle his army, Nox deploys his greatest invention, XII Raze-Time that went up against them so the path can be cleared to go to the Tree of Life.

 The machine was too much for them to handle and it even killed Sadlygrove

Yugo’s friend and that traumatized Eva, Sadlygrove love interest

and enrage Yugo in the process. 

At the end of the battle, he manages to get to his goal, draining Wakfu from the Tree of Life which caused all of the Sadida soldiers to die. 

Yugo and his dragon brother, Adamai face-off Nox. During their encounter, Yugo touches the Eliacube and transport Nox Clock Fortress to Mount Zinit. With Yugo and Nox fully powered by the Eliacube, they continued their last battle.

 Yugo being victorious by he was able to move thanks to cube but was stopped when he got distracted by Ogrest roar which Nox use that to strike and drain his Wakfu and making him the victor of the battle. 

He uses Yugo and Tree of Life Wakfu to go back in time to save his family however it didn’t truly work, instead of going back 200 years, he only managed to go back 20 minutes. Nox rants that he spends so many years of gathering Wakfu for only 20 minutes as his machines and his fortress was crumbling down before him. 

Nox proceeds ranting about the cube of how it won’t let him see his family and still think that it was talking to him.

 Yugo angrily yells at him that the Eliacube doesn’t talk and all of his crimes for the past 200 years was for naught, calling him insane. Nox breaks down, realizing that not only he can’t see his family again but the crimes he committed, he truly believed that it would work and all the lives he has taken wouldn’t matter but he failed. Although the Tree of Life is alive however Sadlygrove and every victim he attacked can’t be erased. 

 With the last remaining Wakfu he has, he uses it to teleport to his family grave and that’s when he turned to dust. 

From all the modern cartoon villains, Nox is the most well-written villain that was ever created. He had an emotional backstory that made him from a hardworking loving-father to a ruthless man that cares very little actions An understandable motivation that all he wants to do he reunite with his family by going back in time which he has to amount of Wakfu of doing. He was active in the story for the first season and his endgame. He’s probably the only villain that actually defeated the main cast of characters and was about to get what he wanted but it was his plan fail that truly defeated him, making him realize what he has done 

This is how you write a villain. He wasn’t forgiven so easily nor defeated in the most anti-climatic way

Such as 

White Diamond gets defeated by getting the talk by Steven 

Toffee getting blasted by Star 

or Mina gets scott free without facing any punishment for her crimes she committed 

 like most modern cartoons are doing right now. Nox is one of the greatest modern cartoon villains that was ever created and I hope cartoon creators take note of it.

Hey, you said you had a headcannon for your human desgin of Rem? I'd love to hear it if you still want to share it!

Yes, I have a headcannon for this version :3

Well, first of all, I would like to say that I am very glad that you liked my version of Rem's humanization, which was very nice of you. <3

About the headcannon, I mentioned that it's related to the hairstyle I gave him. As you may have noticed, they are quite long and they constantly interfere with him, but he refuses to get a haircut, because despite the inconvenience, he likes this hairstyle.

In addition, they are constantly confused, and a feeling of fluffiness is created. And when he is doing some business or work, they are very much in the way, so Ccino tries to comb it in the morning and braid it in a ponytail to make it more comfortable.

But Rem himself does not like to comb his hair and braid it in a ponytail.

That's why their mornings are usually like this:

Ccino: Rem please don't move, I can't brush you.

Rem: Please, dad, don't brush and braid my hair, it hurts!

Ccino: I understand that this may be unpleasant, but you will be easier with this hairstyle and your hair will not get in the way, please be patient for me.

Rem: *sigh* Ok dad.

In the end, Ccino was able to give Rem a comfortable hairstyle, but he still had to endure this discomfort for the sake of his father.

Ccino: Here, so much more convenient agree)

Rem: y-yeah..

Ccino: Thank you for being patient, honey * kiss on the cheek*

Rem: heh, everything for you dad. *slight smile*

In General, this is how I got a headcannon when I drew the humanization of Rem, I hope you like it. <3💜

Here’s Rem! He’s a Ccino x Nightmare shipkid i’ve been working on for a little bit, and he’s one of Vanta’s close friends. Theres more info about him below if anyone’s intrested! Rem is also from the secondary ship kid verse me and @help-im-a-gay-fish have.
