Drowning in Story Notes

Just free falling from one fandom into the next

Changeling by Lydia the Bard would be such a good song for Meteora/Miss Heinous.

When I was finding references for Draxum's apartment in this chapter, I noticed that there were tons of motivational posters hung up in his room. I already knew that Mikey helped set him up in his apartment during Repairin' the Baron but it never occurred to me that Mikey helped him decorate it. My favorite enthusiastic son and unenthusiastic father duo

Dug this out of my drafts. I had forgotten to post this darn thing. Just the reason Xebec continues living rent free in my head.

Sir. SIR! YOU CAN NOT DO THIS TO ME

As someone still obsessing over Epic the Musical, Xebec is giving me such Odysseus vibes when it comes to his wife and child.

How has my svtfoe au evolved into four potential story plotlines

[kellodrawsalot]

Happy 40th anniversary, The great mouse detective!

Doing an overhaul of canon for my star vs au has me obsessing over the queens of Mewni. There is so much opportunity to give them depths to their characters. For example: Festivia.

This woman has a spell that makes you grin from ear to ear and full of energy. For five years she held a party in the castle to keep her people safe while the Solarian army fought the monsters outside.

And this image has me thinking about the music video for “Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence.

And then the whole aesthetic of her queen image, the grecian fashion and chalice shaped wand makes me think of Dionysus. That alone is a whole other can of fanon worms to unpack.

The only way I'll draw anything close to shipping or romance is if I'm actually drawing something else.

My live reaction: "Oh shit, we are killing ourselves today gamers!" It's hard to write jokes about abusing someone in the Weird Route (for me anyway), but Noelle taking agency(?) and committing double suicide (and murder)? Now there's room for a bit of black comedy. That's killing 3 birds with one lake, baybeee! I am still skipping WR in my comic tho. I just wanted to write this small joke.

I was trying to figure out how I wanted the serious depiction of WR to look, and these came out too cool for what I was going for, but they're still neat.

Someone call Kris, they're crying.

Semi Transparent skirt & close ups:

My Twitter feed recently has been filled with A LOT of barbie posts, and looking at his butterfly wings sprite made me remember barbie mariposa :D and that gave me an idea of what to draw <3

BackUp AU | Guilt

This audio is very fitting for Kinger

[bookishnewt]

When will I learn not to listen to music while working on my ocs. It's only gonna spawn more aus. It didn't help me that the song began with saying "the magic was a curse and not a blessing".

(Song in Question: Mirabel's Villain Song Part 2 – Nothing Left to Lose by Lydia the Bard)

So here is a summary for an au of an au.

Only Moon, River, and Glossaryck are aware of Nova's half-monster nature. She wears a pendant that doubles as a glamour, giving her a full mewman form.

As a small child Nova was seen in the castle without her disguise. Immediately she was chased away from the kingdom. Her princess identity was deemed missing and rumored to have been kidnapped by a monster.

At some point in her young life Nova is found by Toffee. He is quick to piece together who she is and what has happened. He takes her in cause who better to help him in his plot against Moon than her own child.

Plans partially fall apart when Ludo finds the broken wand fragment instead of Nova. So while Toffee works on destroying the magic she is gathering people for an army.

It all falls apart for Nova when she witnesses her half-sister obliterate her father. Left devastated she vows vengeance, to destroy all magic like her father wanted and intends on killing Moon and River so Star will know what it's like to have everything taken from you. Also plans on dredging up all the skeletons in Mewni's closet before she does so.

Just making my character mentally/emotionally spiral, hard. Fellas is it insane to make your dead dad's eye into jewelry so he remains with you.

[bookishnewt]

HEY!! So now the Digital Circus finale is also causing influence so I might have to just write about this au of an au before making the actual au

[bookishnewt]

Wait shit my thoughts about an au of an au for Star vs is being influenced by the Digital Circus finale.

Deltarune Chapter 5 Out of Context

[storm-of-feathers]

we don't credit rebecca sugar enough for making the episode with the first gay wedding in a kids show extremely plot relevant so it could not be skipped or cut.

[emeraldspiral]

#rebecca sugar has gone on record saying that they knew from the beginning they wanted ruby and sapphire and they put every inch of planning#in to make sure that the studio could not take them out. sugar has said they’d compromised on hundreds of things they’d wanted for steven#so that they had the bargaining power specifically to keep ruby and sapphire’s relationship#and a number of ‘filler’ episodes were created just to establish counter-arguments that might come up when they pitched the wedding episode#the one that comes to mind is the episode about steven and connie getting lost in rose’s room steven’s central conflict about liking their#fave book series’ romantic ending was later weaponised when producer’s were like ‘oh but steven’s a boy he won’t be too interested in them#getting married’ sugar was able to be like ‘no. in this episode it’s established he loves romance and specifically weddings. and in these#episodes it’s shown how much steven cares about ruby and sapphire and their relationship and happiness. you cannot convince me this is not#good and necessary plot development#and they wrapped it up in the season finale and the big climactic point of the diamonds finally coming to attack earth to make the#episode integral to the series no skipping it without confusion. and had ruby wear a wedding dress because international censors took#advantage of her design to give her a masculine va#and sugar made certain that everybody knew This was a queer love story that an entire town supported and admired and that any child watchin#it at home would know they are not alone and that that support is waiting for them out there somewhere#sugar sacrificed the wider story they wanted to tell for that and it was a horrible decision to be given but they made the right choice
