Question: What Is The Greatest Magic Of All? Answer: Friendship, Right? [B]: The Greatest Magic Of All

Finally finished this fan art of Freya after weeks of working on her 💚

Obviously belongs the most amazing game Little Goody Two Shoes made by @astral-shift-pro

okokok ill get it out of my system in a week or so

anyway im very pleased with myself on picking a wolverine for barbossa

Do you think “Moon Sailor” was a bit, on the nose?

it was intended to be! i made the pilot while keeping in mind that the magical girl genre is actually somewhat niche

i wanted to make sure people like my parents or my girlfriend's law school peers or people who don't watch anime at all could easily follow and understand what's going on. if i asked my parents to name a magical girl anime, they'd be like "what is that" but if i asked them what sailor moon was, they'd be like "oh yeah i've seen those characters before!" sailor moon undoubtedly iconic and people IMMEDIATELY know what it is upon hearing it. "moon sailor" is VERY OBVIOUSLY a parody of that so it's easy to get in that one second of time i have before moving on.

the tricky thing about doing a pilot is the setup and the trickier thing about doing a SUBVERSIVE pilot is that you have to set up what you're subverting on top of everything else. that's why zira's dialogue and language is also a bit expository and on the nose during the "gasp" part. there are people watching who don't know the magical girl genre and its tropes! like how is someone supposed to know that aika anticlimactically poofing into her magical form was a joke if they didn't even know that a magical girl transformation was SUPPOSED to happen? i thought i spelled out hoshi's whole thing pretty well or didn't really need to go that into it but i saw a lot of people confused about what they were and why they were there at all (until zira tells us that they're a magical mascot).

back to "moon sailor," it's a silly one off joke meant to quickly signal to the audience that zira likes manga/anime and the magical girl genre specifically as well as circumvent copyright. i also personally just like on the nose bits hahaha. like on big city greens whenever we parody a brand we usually just put a "B" in front of it. one of my favorite being "blego blocks"

this turned into unsolicited writing advice and definitely more than what you asked for but i hope its helpful to anyone out there looking to make their own shows!! clarity, spelling stuff out and sometimes handholding is important especially in a pilot. even though it can feel stilted sometimes, it's better than completely losing your audience or leaving them with questions. but now that the pilot's done it's job, any following episodes i might make will be unburdened by too much expository language haha

cooking up some stuff on twitter

epic (2013) and strange magic take place within the same universe no i will not elaborate on this thank you for coming to my ted talk

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

Hey! Unsure if requests are still open but...

Stimboard for Mandrake from Epic (2013), mayhaps?

(I don't know what to add in terms of aesthetics, but as one says "The strongest thing imaginable is the imagination", so do whatever seems to fit...)

yes yes YESS i love this movie!! thank you for requesting!

Mandrake

There's my bby girl Vandelle ♡ here's some info that bby forgot to add: Vandelle has a crush on Abigore that unfortunately goes unrequited when the shard takes him over and he was too busy indulging in his bloodlust of vengeance, even got very jealous of Rosette, fearing she'll take her crush away; but they ended up being close friends

Since Abigore's loss, she took over the crew as their new leader in vengeance against Nash Dunes for believing taking her beloved general away, she also gave birth to 3 sons, named Clyde, Clement, and Conrad; where she taught them ways of basically being mini Abigores but in adulthood things go wrong when Conrad falls for Nash's daughter, Gloria, and Clement wanted to break the cycle of vengeance and help his mother in getting better as her grief warped her mind with her vengeance, making her mentally unstable, meanwhile Clyde is gladly wanting to follow his father's footsteps

Though her crusade ended up being stopped by the Dunes, even by 2 of her sons who finally got her to see reason, disbanding the crew and ending the crusade of hers

She later on ends up marrying Rosette, as Rosette ended up having strong feelings for her even while Abigore was alive, much to Clyde's dismay

I'll post art of Gloria, Conrad, Clement, and Clyde soon, even more artwork of Vandelle, my poor girl boss/girl failure ♡

Abigore Melbourne The steel clad Scourge

This is the master post for abigore

Ruthlsss. powerful, and cunning were three aspects well known to his tribe. but one day his hubris got to him, and in a drunken stupor he gathered some friends, sent and took them on a quest for killing and pillaging.

fortunately the target was protected by a young man who wielded two stone swords and his golems that stood by him, abigore lost his friends, his home, and his status all in one night, he swore to kill the guardsman that took his life away. the one he truly cared about the most was the only woman he ever loved, rosette wineblood, she felt great despair when he was gone, but over time she saw the faulty ways of the steeltusk tribe, leaving it behind for the life of piracy, where she leads a colorful and vibrant pirate life.

The once known general had toiled, seeking and schemeing revenge on the halfbreed hero known as nash dunes at his lowest point, after losing his ship, his crew, and his hope, he comes in contact with a shard of an ancient artifact, it promised him his revenge and much more if he vows to find the rest of its form. models by me

present day abigore now leads a whole army, now hiding his true goals under the veil of world conquest, but once again, fate chose something else in mind.. and beside him follows his second in command vandelle quarchette, a windcaller he obtained via a old prison made to conceal and tuck away the world's most dangerous and unstable magic users. character owned by @cometgoddess art by comet model by me

Unfortunately he was blinded by the bloodloss he uses the artifact to finish his enemy, but it fails him.. after using the incomplete orb of dominance to transform into the heart of vengeance, he loses control of the orb, and is absorbed into the vessel, where his arch nemesis proceeds to crush it, finalizing the orb and abigore's fate. art by me

also here is a meme i have of him
