I’m trying not to reblog posts on this blog but I feel that this is important to post here.
on a related note:
And for the people asking “Well if you don’t support it irl then why would you like it in fiction?!” Because when it’s happening irl real people are suffering and dying and that’s horrible and I’d never want that. But when it’s fiction, when no real people are being hurt or killed, it’s interesting to explore the experience, the effects it may have, and to an extent experience the emotions involved without actually having to experience the horrible thing. You explore scary, dangerous things from a safe distance.
It’s the same reason I love disaster movies and don’t love actual disasters. I mean, if someone can’t intuit the difference between watching a movie like 2012 and yelling “cool!” when LA slides into the ocean and being horrified at the real life effects of global warming and the idea of millions of people dying as a result, then *I* am not the one with the problem.
As a matter of fact, yes! Given how closely connected DK and SM is I figured they’d simply exist in the same world. I’m currently workin’ on some concept art for the Kongs, specifically Candy Kong since she hasn’t been seen at all in years. I got her overall silhouette down, I just need to choose what outfit is her default. Actually, ya’ll wanna help me out with that? O:
Of the ones shown, which do ya’ll like best?
The “Ds” are for Donkey Kong and the “Cs” are for Candy Kong respectively. The closest to both characters’ original appearances are D4/C4, but I’m seriously toying with the idea of DK just wearing shorts/more clothes in general. O:
I personally really like D2 and C3, but I would love to hear which ya’ll prefer! owo
