i took the switcheroo week as an excuse to finally try my hand at some scrybeswap designs! got a bit carried away as you can see, i love doing character design so much
decided to keep their species/major design elements fairly consistent (e.g. grimora's makeup, mag being vague and indistinct, leshy having nonhuman legs, p03 only having one arm) while still switching up their aesthetics as needed; super happy with all of these as a result!
design notes for each scrybe under the cut! def open to any further questions or curiosities, i always think way too hard about characters while designing them lmao
P03:
scrybe of the dead: i went for a possessed tv vibe; he's still mechanical but those bones do have a living soul trapped in them...also shoutout to @squid-hug for suggesting the x-ray machine, i was very tickled by that lmao
scrybe of beasts: overgrown old bot was kind of a given for this one, but i was also thinking that the plants are part of what's keeping him running somehow
scrybe of magicks: the magic eye is the core powering that top monitor, and the two side monitors display what he's seeing with that eye at any given time
grimora:
scrybe of beasts: she's a witch! like a chill terry pratchett kind of witch, she works with a lot of herbs and such; also her makeup is meant to mimic blood drops
scrybe of magicks: magick grimora is more of a warlock type, her magic is a lot more sinister and she almost never opens her eyes (whereas her third eye is basically always open)
scrybe of tech: tech grimora is kind of a wacky machinist-flavored dr. frankenstein; she inscribes by writing on circuitboards!
leshy:
scrybe of the dead: this leshy is a gargoyle/vampire hybrid! i thought a mirror would be fun for him bc you can get two different cultural refs; medusa (bc stone gargoyle), and the idea that vampires don't appear in mirrors!
scrybe of magicks: i decided to make him a bird guy (kinda harpy-esque) bc he's basically a more whimsical baba yaga hermit; the baba yaga thing carries over from slavic folklore obvs. also he has polycoria!
scrybe of tech: tech leshy was super fun, bc he's steampunk! rather than animal legs i gave him digitigrade robot legs, but other than that he's the most like, normal human guy here probably lmao; despite his well-adjusted appearance though i still think he's got a bit of freaky wonk in him
magnificus:
scrybe of the dead: this one was very ring-inspired lol, got those clump of hair you found in the shower drain vibes
scrybe of beasts: bush magnificus real! i think he'd be a bit more quirky trickster fae in this form
scrybe of tech: one of my favorites; tech mag is an emaciated cyborg draped in so many loose cords and wires that you can't tell what he looks like anymore. a lot of those cords are connected to him, and he plugs them in wherever as needed! he also has a drawing stylus, making him just an average art student tbh lmao
Guess who’s crawling back shitfucks
This app fucking sucks, bots are everywhere. As much as Twitter sucks since the Elon began his assault, I must admit seeing his foolish antics backfire every which way has been much more entertaining than seeing bot account after bot account. If Twitter really does go up in smoke I shall weep not for it, but I will weep for me, who now must use this shitass site. Goodbye
Another garden warfare 2 clip edit shitpost, as a treat
I really wish animal crossing had interesting gameplay because I love love LOVE the character designs but holy biggleballs is the gameplay just not fun after a while
Intro to a Zenyatta clip comp I’m working on

Garden warfare 2 is still good
Breaking Bad is the story of a man who clings so strongly to his toxic, deeply misguided vision of "manhood", the ideas he has about what makes one cool and what makes one pathetic, that he'd rather destroy every relationship he has than rely on other people when he's told he has cancer.
A man who ascribes so little value to things like humility, loyalty, the wellbeing of others, his work in education, his family relations, that he wants nothing more than to make something blow up because it makes him feel like a big man, and then spends the rest of the day committing felonies in a masturbatory adrenaline rush.
The man is like a misogynistic midlife crisis crossed with a time bomb. He destroys everything in recurring self-destructive fits of lightly-scuffed pride, impulsively acting on this desire to be the ridiculous hypermasculine ideal he imagines himself to be. At the end of the show he admits it: His family never mattered. It was all for him. It made him feel important. He dies alone in a shithole after making everyone who ever loved or respected him despise him.
And then a bunch of dudes were like "this guy is such a badass" because he did just make something blow up and it was cool.
Despite it all i think it's an amazing show and a great commentary on toxic masculinity. It just tries to have its cake and eat it too.
Sorry, no VampMao this week. Here's a drawing i did instead.
centaurworld x mao mao heroes of pure heart crossover au
my original idea had mao’s front legs bent like human legs and they had kneepads
but when i looked for cat centaur references they were bent more like arms, so instead of the kneepads he just has the shin covers
Keep reading
