reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead
You're right and you should say it louder 💅
i know a lot of people didn’t really like opla zoro’s characterization but it honestly reminded me a lot of the filler episode where he met jonny and yosaku (im upset that didn’t make it into the live action 😭) as well as the filler where the seahorse stole their memories to become a millennial dragon (i know a lot of people skip filler tho 🖐🏽😞)
spoilers for pretime skip if you haven’t watched it yet !
but in a grander scheme of things i think it would honestly be so amazing and heartbreaking at the same time if we watched zoro learn to open up towards the crew over the course of logue town - sabaody only to see him come back more closed off after the events of thriller bark - marine ford (i kinda see chopper as being that character that really allows us to see a softer side of zoro i mean he’s the main character we genuinely get to see his big brother/care giver energy with)
it would also be similar to robin started off closed off when she first joined the crew post alabasta and we see her start to open up because of the events of enies lobby (OH i think it would also be a good contrast between robin and zoro as well because we’d see how easily he has become open with the crew members he’s already been with while still have this “i need to protect them from her” i think it may come off stronger in the live action im also referring to skypeia here, i also wonder if they’ll have nami be slower to trust robin as well) idk im just existed to see what changes they may or may not make to how the characters interact im personally not watching the live action or even the anime to be a perfect one for one adaptation of the manga i think that’d be a bit boring for me personally 🤸🏽♀️
i can definitely see them taking that kind of approach of the live action gets that far and i think it’d make a lot of since from a character perspective
Frankenstein AU where the Creature, upon returning to seek terrible vengeance on Victor after realizing the tragic existence he's been forced into, takes a few days extra to actually, you know, observe Victor and see what he's like, to learn how best to enact his revenge. And he comes to the conclusion that, "Actually, I don't need to do anything, this idiot's going to ruin his own life without any outside interference, and I kinda wanna see how he does it."
Victor then proceeds to continue with his previously demonstrated levels of making good life choices, while now also constantly looking over his shoulder for his Creation and having the vapors at every little thing because oh noes, it's The Monster come back to Get Him-!!!
The Creature: (watching all this unfold through binoculars like it's a soap opera while sneaking in to help himself to Victor's larder and library when he feels like it, and also occasionally hiding small but vital objects, like Victor's keys or shaving blade, in weird spots in the house) Wow, it really does take an incredibly smart man to be quite this stupid, doesn't it?
Once more for those in the back.
Like, here's how I think a conversation with these two would go:
Ok so hot take, but I don't like the phrase "Modern Prometheus" when describing Victor Frankenstein. Because unlike Victor, Prometheus actually cared about his creations (humanity) and sought to protect them (gave them fire). And when he was found out by Zeus, he took responsibility for his actions, but didn't apologize for doing what he thought was right. Sure Victor created life, but he abandoned it for looking at him funny.
It's him!!! ❤️
Pro tip sometimes if a drawing just ain’t hitting right you can add a buttload of effects layers on top until it’s adequate 😌
I'm really proud of this piece, because it only comes together into a coherent scene like this from a distance - up close it's really hard to make sense of and involved a lot of abstract-seeming shapes and colors. But it all works together!!!
This is one of my favorite paintings I've done.
These are Huldra or Hulderfolk from Scandinavian folklore. Hulderfolk are seductive forest spirits and their name translates loosely to "hidden" or "secret". They're said to look like normal women with the only difference being the hole in their back that resembles a hollowed tree and the long cow-like tail which they hide under their skirts. If you encounter a Huldra and treat her with respect, she will be very helpful (sharing the best fishing spots or tending to your charcoal kiln), but mistreat her and the punishment will be severe (being beaten to death with her tail or taken into the mountains never to be seen again).
Just thought I'd share the first Scandinavian creature I ever painted.
Nisse are little gnomish creatures that live in your house. They can be very mischievous if not treated with the respect they deserve (i.e. leaving a hot bowl of porridge out for them) or if you're generally neglectful to your house and livestock.
Nevermind I'm full of rage and I want to break a man in half. The world is cruel and unfair but that won't stop me from going at it with claws out and screaming defiance.
I've decided not to engage with the outside world anymore. If you need me I will be curled up in a ball in my nest hibernating. Wake me up in about 4 years when the tides may turn again. I'll be ready.
