I’ve been wanting to draw @scraps-is-busy Sonic OC for a while, especially after they drew mine. But hey, I eventually got to it in the end! Just in time for their birthday too! X’D
Teach me to draw Shinies. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
The Sokka and Zuko dynamic is too good because their individual character arcs run directly parallel with one another. Neither of them had friends their own age growing up (Sokka due to the warriors leaving, Zuko due to Ozai being a, y’know, actual monster), both of them have super-powered little sisters who actively make their lives harder (Katara on accident, Azula on purpose), both of them have everything to prove in a world that generally seems to be actively pushing back against them. They bond quickly and instantly because they get to hang out with someone whose life is as batshit crazy as their own, as well as from the sheer novelty of talking to another guy the same age. “The Boiling Rock” works as an episode because we get to see them acting and reacting more like the other one–Zuko tries to plan ahead by accompanying Sokka to the prison, and Sokka’s trying to wing it by taking things one step at a time–but ultimately they work together best when Sokka builds a plan (use the cooler as a boat!) and Zuko wings the details (getting thrown into the cooler.) Suki, meanwhile, is the custodian of all of the trio’s braincells, a point I’ll return to later on. In this paper I will–
I spent more hours in dog training school (900+) for my certification than cops across this country have to spend in academy in order to be given authority over civilians and the use of lethal weapons.
Hm.
I needed more hours of pre-existing on-the-job experience just to get accepted into vet school than these fuckers spend in training??
I’ve spent over 200 hours just taking exams, let alone studying or training. What the fuck.
rethinking about Doc Oc’s villainy reveal in Spiderverse again
it wasn’t just the fact that she was gender-swapped that made her reveal so surprising, but her whole vibe made her villainy reveal so much more shocking because the combination of her wrinkles, her crows feet, her soft smile, her wacky hair, her huge nerdy glasses, and her general appearance as a punk Ms Frizzle remix, it was all the more extraordinary that this well established spiderveser villain didn’t immediately look like a villain, and yet when she revealed her identity it was so obvious, completely subverting our standards for what ‘villainy’ is, so when the tentacles came out of this kind-looking lesbotic sex symbol, we all just went
they got us. the art and design team played us like a violin in a Niccolò Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in B Minor and we ain’t even mad
Doc Ock’s reveal was the best villain reveal ever since Toy Story 2′s Stinky Pete
I also love the strong implication (though never outright stated) that Doc Ock and Aunt May have some kind of history together, just like so many good villains in a rogues gallery have some kind of tie to their nemesis.
Peter: “Let me guess, your friends call you Doc Ock?”
Doc Ock: “My friends call me Liv. My enemies call me Doc Ock.”
Later, when Doc Ock smashes through the door of the Parker house:
May: “Oh, great. It’s Liv.”
I loved the shit out of that because it’s revealed in the basement lair that May is a genius engineer herself and helped RIPeter design his gear, including the suits and the webshooters.
They were probably colleagues, you guys.
Oh my god, they were colleagues.
They were absolutely more than colleagues– maybe they started out as colleagues, or maybe May learned a lot of those engineering skills from Liv– but they were ultimately lovers. Doc Ock and Aunt May have a romantic history in the comics (they almost got married), and that moment in the film was undoubtedly a nod to that romantic history.
They
WHAT
vvv
The artist is M Lee Lunsford
also not to detract from the potential romantic relationship between liv and may but i wanna point out another aspect of livs villainy that i dont see mentioned.
She knew that people from other universes would essentially be ripped apart atom by atom very painfully AND STILL was going to bring back fisks family. She KNEW that fisk would watch his family be torn from him once again if the collider worked and still went with it. She is the absolute most evil character in the film and she is the best.
