ok I’m still practicing colours and trying out random stuff to figure out the background but I think I’m kinda cooking with the colour scheme
do you ever hate when you might have like a level 100 drawing idea but you’re like a level 10 artist so trying to comprehend how to do that drawing is just an absolute pain.
(I can’t do backgrounds, why do I make myself do backgrounds 😭)
rewatching violet evergardan while I draw, and it’s still one of the most perfect series and will constantly time and time again make you cry when you watch it.
at my grandparents house right now and have nothing to do so have some more work in progress shots. I don’t mind posting lots of progress shots of this since it’s 1 part of 3 comic pages.
lineart:
bonus of me planning colours:
if I manage to ace the colour theory on this comic/drawings it’s gonna look so good
(for this day I’m basing it off a part from the fic, ‘moon prince of the sun kingdom’)
I would be a cat. No big reason, I just like cats a lot :)
long blue denim skirt with a striped T-shirt and red jacket (this is like my go to outfit)(long skirts for life)
IM A WITCH, I DONT CARE IF I ACT AND HAVE THE SOUL OF A FAIRY I INSIST IM A WITCH. like, I am very much the biggest pacifist and doormat you will ever meet but my things since growing up has always been me wishing that I could be a witch (I love series with characters who believe that magic is meant to make people happy :) )
I do not have a consistent style, but most of the time I wear long colourful skirts or old fashioned dresses. (Also have like the biggest collection of cool jackets, they are my pride and joy)
um I don’t really care, either regular milk or almond milk
cereal first
not me being like the absolute biggest pacifist, butttt I’d probably do something old fashioned like using a guillotine OOOOoooo or a scythe, love sythes
yk what I'll also do this get to know your mutuals cuz I thought bout it for a bit and I think I have to or I'll explode
get to know your mutuals♡
if you could be any animal which one would you choose to be? (can be fictional) (and you can explain why if you want to)
what would you choose when you're in a hurry and have nothing to wear?
are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or a mermaid and why do you think so?
what is your style?
regular milk or plant based milk?
which one do you put first milk or cereal?
fav way to kill someone? (idgaf if you never thought of it now you have to think of something and make it at least a bit cool I'm begging)
and I'll go first cuz I can
girl I wrote kinda a lot in these answers but I just had to brag about my fav way of killing people🤷♀️🤷♀️ and okay maybe it's kinda stupid that I'm also doing this game even tho I made it for others but who cares?
I can't choose but either a phoenix or a wolf cuz the allegory of both of these animals absolutely stole my heart
anything in my wardrobe that looks good (and it's almost always not adequate for the cold weather, I literally can wear a mini skirt when it's like 2°C outside and there are times when I am wearing a mini skirt and a crop top when it is 0°C and even when it was -3°C I don't care)
something in between vampire and a dryad cuz I feel like I would be a good vampire I don't know how to describe it but I just know and that's it and also a dryad cuz when I think of them they give me rather a messy and chaotic vibe which is def how I act and overall express myself so I'd say that I'm sometimes both sometimes one and sometimes the other
I'm goth so my style is overall gothic and / or cunty
regular but only 1,5% fat
CEREAL
sooo this is my fav way, first - pepper spray in the face so they can't see and therefore they can't run away, second - start scratching their legs with a pocket knife as hard as possible and try to find an aorta and cut there (making it even harder to run away), third - stick the same knife into all of their fingers (why not), fourth - knock out their teeth with a knuckle duster and finally - when they open their mouth trying to catch a breath from the blood and saliva running into their throat pour fluoroantimonic acid into their mouth and it's done! and I'll add that fluoroantimonic acid is called the most corrosive acid in the world ans if it touches the skin it causes huge damage and if poured into someones throat it'll burn the insides and kill. I think I'm really creative cuz I came up with this when I was writing one of my books and now I'm obsessed

last thing I googled: the college qualification i'm starting for work soon. you need it to continue to do my job and i'm pretty excited to get started. I AM A STUDENT AGAIN! :D
current obsession: honestly, how quickly my body is breaking down and reacting to my insulin. pump given insulin vs injection/'pen' given insulin have slightly different reaction rates but i'm reacting even quicker than that, timescales linked to completely different types of insulin. it is freaking me out and i think i will genuinly need to call the hospital like 'hi hello what the fuck'. reactions that should be 20 minutes taking 10 which in diabetes time can be life and death.
looking forward to: starting the college course, seeing if the lump i feel is bad or good because at least i will KNOW, and fernando getting himself a fucking point.

(I have ideas for each day just have not started 😅)
Counting down the days til Varigo week like it’s a national holiday 🙏
and ignoring the fact that I haven’t finished any of my things for it 😓
Ok we are going to lock in and do my art essay so I can draw some maya and the 3 x vat7k BECAUSE I HAVE RE ENTERED THE FREAKIN OBSESSION.
also if you have any character role ideas or headcanons feel free to tell me :)
right now I just know that Varian will be Maya and Hugo as Zatz
have an old zatz drawing as well btw (sorry if the lighting is horrible)
I want all your thoughts about Maya and the Three as well as The Book of Life (remember I'm Mexican bitch so I reserve EVERYTHING LATINA RIGHT to judge your answer >:3)
*claps hands together* HERE WE GO TIME TO YAP ABOUT THE BEST MOVIE EVER.
I literally grew up watching this movie. My earliest memory is showing it to my best friend at a sleepover when I was like 6.
My entire WORLD as a kid was Book of Life. Got my first phone, what was the first thing in my music library? Book of Life. Every birthday and when I was sick, what would I pick? Book of Life. Hell, I wrote a self-insert as Manolo's older sister who was best friends with Maria and in love with Joaquin(before I figured I was gay, but like...Joaquin)
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE IT WAS A JUKEBOX MUSICAL
Once I found one of my favorite cover artist Annapantsu's rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love With You, and I thought, "yes, she's seen Book of Life!" Ectasy of Gold? Saw those beer commercials and thought, "Hold up-" I heard Radiohead for the first time and I went, "Wait this was in Book of Life!"
But my God, I as a white person of European descent, adore Dia De Lose Muertos. It is my favorite holiday right after Halloween, because it's my excuse to watch Book Of Life on repeat. I know it entirely by heart, and-although I've now forgotten-I used to scare my sister because I could sing I Love You Too Much and The Apology Song in Spanish, without knowing a lick of the language otherwise. I HAVE A COPY OF A NOVELIZED VERSION OF THE MOVIE, ITS IN SPANISH, AND I UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD.
Okay okay, now onto the actual movie other than my experiences.
This thing is one of the best pieces of media I've consumed in literally forever. While it has certain flaws-pfft what am I saying, IT HAS LITERALLY LIKE ONE MINISCULE FLAW, AND I CANT EVEN PIN IT DOWN.
Im going to treat this as one of my movie reviews, just so I don't make this an entire essay lol
Plot: DUDE, THE PLOT?? it's just-beautiful. Just imagine it for a second, as if you were part of this as a main character like Manolo. You are in love with your best friend-your other best friend is in love with her too. You continue with your life, still in love even after she leaves for finishing school. When she returns you do your best to impress her, despite the fact you're kind of the village loser. You die, and when you get to the afterlife you find out that your love life has been betted on by literal gods, just cause they're bored?? I am shocked Manolo kept his cool as much as he did. And then the freaking bandits?? The battle?? I just fucking love this movie man.
10/10
Music: JUKEBOX MOVIE ALERT!!! Except one-I think two?-songs, everything is from somewhere else. And my gods, the conversion from whatever they used to be into the style of the movie is ASTOUNDING. I completely believed that Creep was supposed to be played on guitar like that. And then I could go on for literal hours about The Apology Song-and most of it would just be screaming in joy. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S JUST SO GOOD FOR NO REASON?
100/10
Animation: How the hell do I explain this with words? Just look at it yourself.
LOOK AT IT!!! Care and love was put into every single frame and it SHOWS.
10000/10
Writing: I do have to admit that maybe, occasionally, from time to time, rarely, the writing is a little strange. But then when there's real heavy scenes-okay who am I kidding, the writings amazing. Humor, pacing, and everything in between-they made due with what they got, and they left ZERO CRUMBS. JUST LOOK AT THD GRANDMA
Queen. AND THEN THIS FUCKING SCENE I JUST-
"Don't forget me."
Waiter! You forgot my tissues!
Characters: I...cannot stress enough...how much I love everyone in this movie.
Manolo? Peak. He molded what my type would be. Selfless, strong, but allows you to be independent, a complete pathetic cat to his lover. His conflict can be felt by anyone with disapproving guardians, or even those who just had disappointed figures in their life. And Diego Luna???? Fuck. Perfect character right there.
Maria? Badass. Likes to lead a little on, but what girl hasn't? She's the leader's daughter and has a pet pig. Need I say more? And Zoe Saldana fucking smashed the role.
JOAQUIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
I LOVE Joaquin. When I saw Deadpool and Wolverine and my friends pointed out Channing Tatum I went, "JOAQUIIN" and they stared like I was senile. I do honestly believe that he is extremely underrated within this niche Fandom. Just saying, I had an epiphany a few years ago: How did Joaquin feel?
Maria was believed to be dead. Blinded by grief he tells his best friend that it should have been him. I entirely believe that he was the one to return to the tree. To apologize, of course. And what does he find? His best friend, dead. He doesn't have anyone left. Maria comes back, and he can only imagine the pain she's feeling. He hates that General Posada is only thinking of marriage at a time like this.
And if he hadn't been the one to find Manolo? Then it was Carlos. And Joaquin watched as a man he respected carry his best friend's body out of the fog from the lonely dock. Or perhaps Carlos buried him right under the tree, and returned with nothing but grief.
And he completely accepts Manolo and Maria's love! He definitely felt hurt, but I'm sure it took a minute because he was just happy Manolo was alive man. He'll find love, I'm sure he will. He'll get a medal from me, no doubt.
Im simply saying, Joaquin had the most development of everyone in this movie.
La Muerte and Xibalba? Peak on and off married couple. La Muerte is hot as hell, and Xibalba's hilarious. Candlemaker, peak. Carlos, peak. The Mariachi Brothers, peak. Luis, peak. Carmen, peak. Book, peak. Even the detention kids were so incredible!
100/10
Overall movie: This movie has so many layers, and it can be enjoyed by all ages. I have enjoyed it since I first watched it, and I will adore it until I die. I will have this play at my funeral, and all you sick fucks are invited.
100000000000000000000000000000 x infinity/10.
And MAYA AND THE THREE???? UGH. MADRE DE DIOS I WANT TO CRY THIS THING MADE ME SOB.
I heard my dad call me from the living room. It was during COVID so I was a little under the weather. I go to the living room, and he's showing a new release on Netflix: Maya And The Three.
I CRASHED OUT. I was SCREAMING at him, begging him to give me the remote. I almost cried right then and there.
AND THEN I STARTED WATCHING?!?!?!!! AND IM INSTANTLY HIT WITH...ZOE SAL-FUCKING-DANA.
AND THEN...DRUMROLL...
(I'm fine guys I swear.)
Guys...this thing reignited something in me. The absolute fabulousness of the entire show screamed "Gutierrez". While no one was bursting into Radiohead this time, I swear my heart gave out from all the absolute nostalgia I was getting, and the new story that was tugging my heartstrings in a direction they had never gone.
(You can only imagine how I felt with that La Muerte Xibalba and Candlemaker cameo lol)
I adored every character, but I feel like one can guess who my favorite was haha...
Hes so pathetically down bad for Maya and I can't blame him one bit. LOOK AT THAT FACE!!! I wanna squish it.
Man his reincarnations are gonna feel that lovestruckness. (*cough,* MANOLO, *cough*)
This entire thing, even with all the deaths, I just adore.
I FELT THAT SCREAM WHEN ZATZ DIED. I FELT THAT SCREAM FROM MAYA DEEP IN MY CORE.
AND THEN THEY BROUGHT BACK THE MISBEGOTTEN SON OF A LEPROUS DONKEY BUT JUST A LIL DIFFERENT I CLOCKED THAT IMMEDIATELY AND SCREAMED.
And, of course the ever popular
Rico, Chimi, Picchu, Lance, Daggers, Shield, Camazotz, Puma princess, Micte, Queen Teca, Chiapa, Apush-I love every single character in this show.
AND THEN ALL THE THREE SYMBOLISMS JUST ARGGH
I can't go on man, I'm either gonna die of euphoria or pass out I have been writing this for almost an hour now. But it was so worth it, and I hope it was worth your time too.
No retreat, no surrender.
I am so behind on my French.
dude I need more series with that sort of style of animation LIKE AGUIVDUKVR THE CHARACTER DESIGNS?!!?!! THE DETAILS!??!? THE PLOT!??!?
perfection, absolute perfection
AIGHT SINCE YOU ASKED
Let’s hear your rant on Book of Life and Maya and the Three CACA FACE
(long as you ask me too pretty pls 0w0)
*cracks knuckles in Latina bitch* ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS SHIT PENDEJOS!!!
So Book of Life, ABSOLUTE KING OF CINEMA!!! Words aren't enough to describe my love fir this and all the fucking references to Latinan culture (La Muerte is my queen... but here me out on Xibalba-) and I just love the humor and animation (by GOD the animation chat) and wrisbesb3jejdbepawhdjebso!!!!
Maya and the Three... I'm ashamed to admit I pushed it off as a stupid, cheesy kids show trying to cash in on my culture (feel free to burn me at the stake for that) but when I watched it- HOLY FUCK WHEN I WATCHED IT!!!!! Words aren't enough... but I'm sure as fuck gonna try
First, the characters. I can't with these goddamn characters, especially with their traumatic backstories in the beginning of each episode! These writers are after my own heart. Plus the way that the animation would go outa frame during the fights, the fucking voice acting! I just- I can't, I don't wanna cry.
I wish I could say more but I kinda have a mountain of algebra homework to burn through unfortunately.... BUT I SHALL RETURN, DONT YOU WORRY!!!
-ImMadAtDisney
omg I’m so happy people know about maya and the three along with book of life, I FEEL LIKE PRACTICALLY NO ONE HAS WATCHED IT.
dude the way I could obsess over the sun and moon symbolism and the idea that Maria and monolo are the reincarnations of zatz and maya.
(Zatz was literally my first fictional crush haha)
I don’t have much to say about the main tangled series group but imagine a au of ‘the book of life’ (yall know the film?) x rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra.
like, basically Eugene and Cassandra fighting for the hand of rapunzel.
(I just kinda wanted to find any way of linking tangled to the book of life because I love the movie. If I wanted to be even more desperate I would do an au of maya and the three where Hugo is zatz and maya is Varian)
Day 3 inspired by song lyrics
For Varigo week I already have a drawing planned for day 3 which is the inspired by song lyrics. I'm keeping it a secret for now but if i was to do another song inspired one i'd do it to 'Good little girl' from adventure time.
I need to make myself like one of those signs with fictional characters that say 'Lock the f*ck in' expect with vat7k and set it as my laptop background while I work.
(Year 12 sucks, I have so much holiday homework)
at my grandparents while I drew this on my phone (help drawing with your finger is hard, how do people do it?????)
also, we love Vash, the absolute silliest boy.
hehe was making some bracelets with my friend
yayayay first day of my holidays and I’m gonna go to the arcade with my friend and do rythm games :D
hehe saw my friend do this on twitter and I wanted to do it because I thought it was cute so thought I might try and do a little tag game thing. Don’t expect this to really go anywhere but join in if u want.
Here’s the website
No pressure tag:
@gilmorenights
headcanon that Hugo’s robotic arm also has a function that works as a grappling hook and he just loves this function because it means he gets to princess carry Varian to place or just catch him when he might fall.
I’ll constantly do this thing in my house where I’ll start watching anime and cartoons around my parents just so I can try and get them interested in something I like or ask me questions about it (I just want to rant about my funny series :((((( ).
But somehow it always seems to have the opposite effect, like the time I mentioned vat7k to my mum. I mentioned that Varian would have had his own series (leaving out the fact that he was going to have a boyfriend) and a few days later while watching tangled she re mentioned it again which got me so excited thinking she took an interest, but no, she apparently looked in to the series and said,
“why would they give him a boyfriend? I thought he liked Cassandra”
I sat their dying for like the whole day (she said it in the most judgy way possible as well 😭)
Why can’t I manage to get my family interested in anything I like 🥲
I like how I can’t watch Trigun stampede without thinking of vat7k, like both shows have two blond dorks with undercuts, piercings and emo boyfriends. (Only difference is they have the complete opposite personalities).
i saw someone call this duo “hotpockets” and i just ran to my ipad
however for these two……… idk yet i just said “spacerocks” vro😭😭
and finally a cool comic based on a funky headcanon i have!!!!
chat never do three art subjects. My whole holidays is going to working on them (my multimedia teacher wants me to finish the sketch of my animation by the end of the first week 😭 this is like a 3 minute animation)
Happy 2 years to the Owl house finale! I thought i might just post an old drawing of mine, (and wow that means this drawing is 2 years old, can't really see much difference in style growth).
so I realised that I haven’t actually posted any of my old sketch book drawings even though they are like my favourite. These were some drawings I did before I got into vat7k.
omg I need a duet song between Nuru and Yong, I need it so badly.
like, imagine a duet song where it’d basically them being wingmen for Hugo and Varian, IT WOULD BE SO GOOD.
like let’s say Varian and Hugo are preparing for a dance or something and they are both anxious so Yong goes off to help Varian and Nuru goes off to ‘help’ Hugo. The two switching sides of song going from Yong being kind and giving advice towards Varian while it’s Nuru being sarcastic (yet kind) towards Hugo WOULD BE SO GOOD.
(If u guys know any songs that could work with this idea please tell me)
I hate it so much that I literally never draw Yong, I just don’t have any ideas for what to draw for him and it annoys me so much.
