Leon and the group quickly learn that most feared monsters are not the Trolls, Dragons, or undead, but the GIANT FUCKING LOBSTERS AND BEARS!
If you've played Elden RIng you know what I mean...but if you don't, these damn 'MINOR ENEMIES' have the ability to SNIPE you with pinpoint accuracy from (what feels like) two miles away.
And if you think you wanna try and fight them up close, well...this GIF explains it best.
y'all gotta click to enlarge... and sorry this is sloppy but i can‘t be spending 4 weeks on this
look what this game does to me i‘m laying down a whole-ass sequence here 😭😭 also so sorry to anybody who has actual storyboarding / sequence drawing knowledge, i have none... i have probably butchered this. but i had a lot of fun. and this was a lesson in draw fast or else!
grace‘s last line was also so cool in my head lmao and now it‘s a lot more angst and drama but hey these are also my middle names so we vibe.
prepare for rambling:
OK LISTEN HEAR ME OUT i know it’s stupid BUT alternative ending for re9...
i want grace to give victor a shot of elpis too. as far as this could even be possible. like i imagine he has a mix of t-virus infection and the nemesis parasite going on since the parasite is in canon only responsible to let the host keep their intelligence while the t-virus is responsible for the tyrantification. which is also in itself crazy since the chance of a tyrant mutation in a virus host is incredibly small as far as i know but either victor is just that special ✨ or they figured it out at rhodes hill. or i'm getting it all wrong. it doesn't matter.
either way the fact that he would even survive a shot of elpis is realistically speaking nonexistent i think but i don‘t want him to die. i want him to suffer and realize what a stupid idiot (affectionate) he was and that spencer did not let him in on his big secret. so lets pretend that a) elpis can reverse t-virus and nemesis parasite infection/mutation to degree AND b)… it also heals lethal motorcycle induced brain damage lmao xddddddddddddd in the end it‘s resident evil and when it‘s canon that they brought emily back then they can bring victor back too ffs
there was so much going on in my head while drawing this. is this a faith worse than death for victor? i can imagine he would not be happy to lose his powers. would he still be ok with the fact that elpis is a cure and not a weapon after regaining chrystal clear clarity again? what happened to the human evolution, victor? and grace was finally able to get back at him. for killing alyssa. for dragging her through hell without a reason

Opposition to a data center project has reshaped a Missouri city’s government. “Angry people make angry voters,” an attorney observed.
people are saying this is a song and i can't imagine what it could possibly sound like. what the hell are you talking about

You need to understand that twenty years ago this was considered the pinnacle of online culture.
For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."
Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.
Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.
Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.
The best part is the local city council's reaction.
And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.
More of this please, everywhere.
After the incident, another video went viral showing what appeared to be that man getting a beating. The Maui Police Department said they had no record of any reports of disorderly conduct or assault related to the monk seal incident.
Even the local police are being cool about this.

Whenever people ask me "why don't you know xyz, it's so popular" well see it's because
THIS. I saw a post the other day that literally said if you do it to a fictional character, you’ll do it in real life.
No. Just NO.
I’m so glad someone put it into words.
In art, we can be fucking nuts.
Art is the place to safely explore all those other sides of you
Can I just say - the scene where Emily dies and turns is heart-wrenching to watch.
On one side, Grace is devastated by loss and the deep seething feeling of guilt. The player goes on a journey with her to rescue Emily, and sees how her determination, her hope that it's all just a temporary nightmare, had wrapped around the girl - all gone now, in such a shocking way that it's impossible to accept it even if it's in front of her eyes.
On the other side, you have Leon who, against every fiber in him that wants things to be ok, through Grace's pleading cries, shoots. Because of the first lesson that shaped him in Raccoon City: "Don't make my mistake (...) you do not hesitate. You take it out. Or you run. It's on you now." The fact that the player was given the active choice to shoot or not and, regardless of what you do, Leon shoots, was also a clever way of showing you his mental and emotional state in that moment.
RE games are not usually (or weren't at least until the remakes) the most thoughtful or emotionally insightful when it comes to their characters, BUT RE9 has some really special moments.

If you can’t find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesn’t deserve such majesty anyway.
It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblog…
the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck
got a new csp pen so ive been testing it out like crazy, here's two of the sketches from testing things out!! (first sketch is a redraw from lsoh if anyone gets me)
There’s a theory that early Europeans started saying “brown one” or “honey-eater” instead of “bear” to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa “the faceless woman” because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber
English has an avoidance register used in the presence of certain respected animals, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s spelling out w-a-l-k and t-r-e-a-t in front of the dog.

Icelandic folklore requires you avoid saying the names of evil whales, otherwise you’ll draw their attention.
Yall have evil whales?
Iceland does! They are the illhveli, literally “evil whales”, and they live to kill you. They love nothing more than killing and eating humans and sinking their ships. Their greatest enemy is the steypireydur (that’s blue whale to you), which is the greatest of the good whales and the protector of sailors.
All evil whales are, well, evil. So evil that if you speak their name at sea, they will hear it and home in on you. So instead you use all sorts of euphemisms for their names. Also if you try to cook their meat it literally disappears from the pot. That’s right, they’re so evil, you can’t even eat them.
They include such types as the hrosshvalur (horsewhale), with big eyes and a red mane and tail. This is probably the best known and most feared of the lot.
The raudkembingur (redcomb) is especially cruel and bloodthirsty even by illhveli standards. If you manage to escape it, it will die of frustration.
Good luck escaping the mushveli (mousewhale) though, it has legs! And will clamber onto the beach in pursuit!
Or what about death from above? The stökkull (jumper) leaps high into the air and pile-drives boats to pieces.
Meanwhile the skeljungur (shellwhale) sits in the path of boats and lets them get wrecked on its shelly hide…
… while the sverdhvalur (swordwhale) slices through boats with its dorsal fin.
The katthveli (catwhale) is relatively harmless though. It meows.
The same can’t be said of the lyngbakur (heatherback), a classic island fish that lets sailors get on its back and then dives, taking them to a watery grave.
The nauthveli (oxwhale) on the other hand specially targets cattle, attracting them into the sea with its bellow before tearing them apart.
How can you avoid all these murderous whales, like the taumafiskur (bridlefish) here? Any of a number of ways, including getting a steypireydur to help. There are substances, ranging from angelica to sheep dung and chopped fox testicles, that they find abhorrent. And you can distract them with loud noises and barrels.
For more, I assure you this link will answer all your questions.

This is also why fairies were referred to as the ‘Good Neighbors’ and why there are so many nicknames for Satan.
The concept of avoidance speech is endlessly fascinating and rife with plot points for writing, but honestly I’m just thrilled about the EVIL WHALES.
this is the money garf. reblog for untold pasta and riches to come your way
after chipping away at this one for a few months i'm weirdly anxious to post it, but here’s the longest i've spent on a piece of fanart! put in a lot of detail so there’s some close-ups with a speed paint under the cut. i'll be trying to figure out prints for it as well :)
