Hi **aggressively Dumps Some Sketches I’ll Never Finish On You**

jay doodles, DRs3p1 art coming (probably) soon. i'm just hesitant to draw that fuckass ponytail.

hiiiii soo. I decided to hop on the bandwagon and do some hazbin hotel redesigns! (IMPORTANT NOTE: I have not watched nor do I like hazbin hotel or its creator Vivziepop. I do not like her and I do not justify or support her. I just thought it would be fun to redesign some of the characters, starting with Angel Dust.)

closeups (+white background) under the cut!

I hope you guys like this redesign!! :3 there are many other better angel dust redesigns out there that utilize his spider features way better but I tried and I just couldn’t get it to look right in my style :’( so this redesign is mainly based on changing colors and slight variations for his outfit. yes, he has the fluffy spider butt bc I love that feature of his design smmmm. and he has more spider-like fangs!!

"I can’t hold you anymore."

heh.. hahaha.. glacier angst..

okay but fr, can we just talk abt how these guys barely had any chill happy time after season 2? Zane DIED and then when he came back, the VERY NEXT SEASON, Cole turns into a freaking GHOST 😭😭😭 ITS SO SAD! I needed to draw about this.

just…. just look. LOOK AT HIS BEAUTIFUL GLOVED HANDS AAAAAAHHHH

THIS IS SO COOL WHAAATTTT !!!!

Ninjago AU loosely based on the lunar chronicles (concept art?)

7 years ago, there was a widespread “plague” of spores that could rot through flesh if they touched it. This made prosthetic limbs and bones somewhat common, but cyborgs are still treated as second class citizens. Cyborgs must be registered with a human “handler.” In theory, the handler is meant to make sure that their mechanics don’t malfunction, but in practice, it’s an excuse to arrest or berate cyborgs who are seen out in public alone. In the “bad” part of town, there’s a big group of rebels planning to escape the city and find somewhere they’ll be treated as equals, but if the police catch anyone who’s known to be a protester, they mysteriously disappear, and there’s no confirmation of exactly what is done to them.

Zane (18) - Zane was badly affected by the plague, leaving him with lots of metal plating around his body and a prosthetic right arm from the elbow down. He has no handler and is running from an arrest warrant. He’s heavily involved with the protestors, and has only gotten more anxious about escaping the city after his girlfriend, Pixal, was caught and taken. He believes that she is out there somewhere, and is determined to find her.

Nya (15) - Nya is classified as a cyborg, even though she only has a few square inches of plating around her right hip. She was exposed to the plague as a child, and lost both of her parents to it. Along with Zane and her brother, Kai, she is heavily involved in the protests. She and her brother live in an orphanage, where the overseer is her legal handler. She and Kai are biding their time until he turns 18, and can become her handler, so they can run away and escape the city with the other protesters.

Kai (17-18) - Kai, though he isn’t a cyborg himself, is among the most enraged at the injustice they face. He’s gotten into risky stunts with the police before, and has just barely evaded arrest. Zane urges him to be cautious, but Kai refuses. Once Kai turns 18 and becomes his sister’s legal guardian and handler, he plans to leave the city with her and Zane to search for Pixal.

Lloyd (15) - Lloyd lost his father to the plague, and lives in the same orphanage as Kai and Nya. He isn’t heavily involved in the protests, but he supports the cause, and wants to leave the city as soon as he gets the opportunity. His father was friends with Cole’s mother, and Cole used to babysit Lloyd when he was little. Lloyd uses this connection to further the plan.

Cole (19) - Cole lost his left arm in a rock climbing accident. Thanks to his father, a famous singer, he has the most high-end prosthetic money can buy. His privilege has made him slightly careless, and he gets in regular arguments with his father about being seen alone and leaving the house. His mother died to the plague. He was family friends with Lloyd growing up. He wasn’t involved in the protests, until a familiar face showed up at his door in the middle of the night…

Jay (17) - Jay lives outside the city with his parents, who are both cyborgs. Since many refugees escape outside the city, they live in a community of mostly cyborgs. Jay is a talented mechanic, and provides repairs and upgrades free of charge as an excuse to experiment. They live mostly free from the discrimination that they would face in the city. One morning, a group of kids from the city show up and start shaking things up…

This AU is in progress!! Will I ever finish it? Who knows!

Thunderbolts is better than the OG avengers and I think there’s a couple reasons for that. I know I’m stoking the fires with that one, but as an enormous fan of Avengers 2012 I always wanted something more from them.

Avengers 2012 was a true ensemble movie but its leaders, Steve and Tony, were defined by their conflict. Their differing personalities. The formation of the team was the point and their instability as individuals second to that. They had to get over each other to work together.

Thunderbolts isn’t really an ensemble movie. There’s an ensemble in it, but it’s about Yelena and her struggles with her mental health- her search for a solution to her depression and grief and trauma. So instead of getting over the differences of her teammates, it’s about wanting them around- learning to find the good and accept the bad. To prop one another up and find connection.

There’s also something distinctly un-masculine about Thunderbolts. I say un-masculine because it’s just not Joss Whedon’s Avengers. It’s not gendered in that way. It’s not about how sexy Black widow is when she kills a man, or the dick measuring contest between Steve and Tony- their dysfunctions and savior complexes.

The avengers are built on sacrifice- how much are you willing to sacrifice to keep humanity safe? The thunderbolts are once again built on that connection but they’re also built on their guilt and desire to be better people, not only for their loved ones but for themselves.

They also defer to Yelena. John does the “I’m the most experienced guy of course I’m the leader” bit and then almost immediately defers to Yelena later in that sequence even if he’s reluctant at first. The plan only works if you wait for me. You can see later in that scene when Bob is shot, John waits for Yelena’s call on whether to leave or do something about Bob in that moment. There are obviously times where they don’t defer to her, this is a group of people still getting to know and trust one another. They work together instead of despite each other.

They come to see her as someone to follow because they see her empathy, her ability to wait and watch and assess, and also her insane plans! Like calls to like but they see a team leader in her without her vying for it.

Idk I just love this movie. I have low hopes marvel will be able to strike lightning twice but I really hope they can. I’ve missed it.

Immediately thought of this when I saw him on screen 😭

h…hear me out guys..

HEAR ME OUT OKAY I JUST STARTED WATCHING DRS2 AND WHY IS HE LOWKEY FINEEEE …. ?? HIS VOICE TOO OHMGAW

also I’m REALLY OBSESSED WITH THUNDERCLOUDSHIPPING TEEHEHEH;EEHEHEHEHEHEHE EHREHNEAHWKEKFMFKWKS.

I fucking hate it when people compare trauma for characters, and it happens a LOT in the ninjago fandom and it pisses me off so much.

you cannot compare Jay’s trauma in the administration and losing his memory + having his soul shattered to Kai being lost in the land of monsters and slowly losing himself as he tries to find his friends. why? because their trauma is DIFFERENT. you can’t compare it when their trauma is barely similar, not to mention the fact that everyone processes trauma differently. Jay/Rogue acting goofy does not mean he’s happy. Jay, as a character, has ALWAYS dealt with trauma by acting “happy”, or “silly”, or whatever. if anon here ever watched the show maybe they would’ve realized that about his character 😭😭😭😭 and I'm not disregarding Kai’s trauma in any way shape or form! he obviously went through it I mean just listen to him in the Monstrosity trailer.. but just because Kai went through shit doesn’t mean Jay didn’t. get a grip.. like honestly guys how hard is it to not compare trauma or disregard the other’s? just admit that they both have had their own trauma/struggles and move on smfh. none of them have gone through “worse” or “more”. just shut up and stop comparing things that don’t need to be compared. it’s not a competition.

kai suffered more than jay ever did/ is going through rn 💀 we been saying this but no one wanted to listen to kai fans 😭 amnesia and shattered soul is cool but jays like happy with how he is rn, bro look at what kai went through post merge
