I'm lazy af to do anything frequently (this is a curse called adhd please help) | main oc blog. @ramberuuviolett for Just Dance and @amberkanzaki for Gacha World| 🇧🇷 girlie | art tag: #ok byeee | talking tag: #blablabla
I got this blog for like a month now, but lets go.
I'm Amber, a very unproductive 15yo (now 16) teenage illustrator and Just Dance freak (actually I'm a lot of media's...freak, but JD is one of the main ones, trust) (also that's my twitter bio).
I draw women, I'm trying to draw men, because I want to draw tf2 fanart too (and there's only one woman there) (actually two, but the other one is a douche).
This blog is mainly just art and fanart archive, and I'm not gonna be posting anything else other than that. I may or may not disappear sometimes, but that is because I'm a very busy woman, and school sends like 2 works per week, and it is really tiring omg give me a break.
Gotta finish this or else, I'll start rambling. Sorry if my vocabulary sucks, english is my second language, and I also don't have a good vocabulary in my native language, but I'm trying my best.
Uh, that's it, hope you like the drawings, and see you...well, some day :P
So called "free thinkers" when Tomodachi Life shows up on their feed (dude I REALLY wanna have it, but it's 300 bucks and my brother borrowed my switch for a while 😭😭😭)
A pretty understated part of Eddsworld is that Tom seemingly isn’t the only (debatably) human being born from at least one sapient object, as both Balloon Head Fred and Brickhead are also possibly the same? 🤔 I guess it’s just pure biological luck in terms of how many physical inhuman traits and/or abilities that you end up inheriting from the object(s) you stem from?
My take is that sapient objects can easily copulate with each other to make objects within the same broad type of category (raw natural material, industrial tools, sports equipment, fresh produce/food, etc), as long as they’re compatible! However, once a human being is introduced to the family tree, things DRASTICALLY change in how their future offspring can appear as.
It basically becomes a huge toss-up on the offspring taking the most biological/anatomical physical traits + visual aesthetic traits from their sapient object parent OR their human parent. In Balloon Head Fred’s case, he probably inherited way more from his balloon parent, while his human genes only applied to his body below the neck. Inversely in Brickhead’s case, he probably inherited way more from his human parent as his overall visual appearance is ‘fully’ human, minus the ability to change his head into a brick at will, which is probably a niche biologically inhuman ability that stems from his brick genes.
Thus, whoever was the human being in Tom’s family tree that got it on with a sapient object (it was MAYBE Sheriff Thompson?) basically had their human genes recessed for the longest time, before coming back in full-force for Tom. Honestly in terms of just visual aesthetics, Tom is quite lucky, as he’s only really missing his eyes, as he inherited that inhuman trait from his bowling ball mom. His pineapple father’s genes must’ve been repressed very heavily by the latent human genes, as the only real visual indicator that Tom is part-pineapple is his strangely naturally upright and spiky hair, as it mimics the appearance of a pineapple crown.
It’s also possible that the strange mixed-up genetics associated with human X sapient object offsprings can just vary WILDLY in their severity of impact + can skip generations. For instance, we do see Balloon Head Fred having a child with a seemingly fully 100% human woman, and yet his child badly lost the genetic lottery and came out fully as a sapient giraffe balloon animal!
Long story short, it’s probably a miracle that Tom didn’t end up being born as a sapient bowling ball with a tacky pineapple pattern all over it lmao
Hello and welcome to my new text series: Over-analyzing Just Dance maps for lore until I lose my sanity and a sense of purpose.
Today's Episode: Majesty by Apashe
The map starts right after Locked Out of Heaven, to symbolize that it hasn't been long since Jack stepped out of the stage.
Each of the characters introduce themselves their own unique way. Jack doesn't even introduce himself, so I assume either Wanderlust already knew who he was or they went through the entire map without even knowing JR's name (lol).
The girls and Mihaly were already unable to trust Jack right away, so they kept their distance and let Wanderlust do the job. When Jack refuses Wander's hand, probably due to fear or lack of trust (since he and a bunch of strangers just busted into his room with no warning), they decide to do it the hard way with a light fight. It seems Jack is the one that initiates the fight, and Wanderlust still tries to get through him regardless of what Jack might do. Shows he has strong determination and most likely sees the good in everyone, due to naivety.
The stage rises, meaning that Jack’s show isn't over, and he still needs to perform his final song of the day. The crowd doesn't seem to be scared, rather surprised and excited. In-game, there's no implication of Wanderlust’s reputation in the Danceverses, so the crowd could or could not recognize him depending on their access to information (of lack thereof). For some reason, I always headcano-ed Eternyx to be distant from other Danceverses, probably due to it's population and the fate of the eternal night (Eter- Eternal or Aether, Nyx- Personification of the night). They would be sealed away (thus their illegal surprise participation in the Eurovision season), and most wouldn't know or care about information regarding the Royal Family since they allowed their people to be separated and entraped. Quick reminder that this is a headcanon of mine and not a true piece of lore.
Back to the map, Night Swan decides to intervene from afar by transforming the whole crowd and, by extension, Wanderlust into her swan army. Wanderlust’s transformation is slower, and visibility more painful. The hostages in Witch at least were stunned and probably wouldn't feel it physically, but Wanderlust could. It takes a few seconds in our pov, but I like to think it took much longer in Jack’s pov. Let's imagine it from his perspective: Your mom is a whore/j that dictates your every move, making you a pop star in a land of darkness and violence. It's all you've known, that's what "love" means to you and you hate it. Suddenly a bunch of people including the Prince of the entire goddamn galaxy breaks into your room and is like "hey, so your mom is kind of a douche and we need help from the person closest to her. I think you're the best person we can rely on.". 5 minutes later and that same person that trusted you, gave you love, is now writhing in pain, becoming something unrecognizable, as well as all of your fans that gave their hearts to you for years. Anyone with 1/3 of a brain would understand that this is inhumane.
While Mihaly and Brezziana are fighting, pouring their heart and soul to make these people remember who they are, Jack is furious at NS, arguing to her about how she could be capable of making several people suffer. I'll assume arguments like this between them are not frequent, so this would be a surprise to Night Swan, since her "perfect son" is now rejecting his perfection for the sake of an alien with a stupid crown (in her eyes /not ref). If he is going to be perfect, he should let her do her duty and inherent the army later on. And if he accepted he is, if anything, "worthless", he would get rid of her army and delay her conquering. Jack would rather be worthless with an actual good company than perfect with unwilling slaves.
Now this is the part Wanderrose shippers use to explain the ship (with good reason, I'm with you guys): The 'Save Your Tears' Gold move.
Hands held up like this has been a symbol of love and respect among coaches, as implied in Save Your Tears and Murder On The Dancefloor (and probably Don't Rush /j). And in general Disney fashion, the "true lovers kiss" is usually an archetype to give a quick but genuine solution to a curse given to the princess of the story. I'm not saying that the goldmove is the equivalent to a true lovers kiss, but taking the context into consideration (Wanderlust being a Prince and getting freed from a curse by a good looking man + Save Your Tears callback), it's hard to believe Ubisoft didn't take this into consideration. If they actually wanted to say "oh, its cuz they're brothers or something", it then they were terrible at conveying it by using the goldmove of a romantic map revolved around one of the characters parents.
The gold move itself, now excluding any ship implication and such, is Jack’s way of saying "I'm with you. I won't give up on you guys now.", making Jack Rose become officially a part of the Just Dancers (Resisdance is a better name, ngl).
Skipping to the outro, Night Swan bails like a chicken (not THAT chicken), and it has been confirmed that the place she teleported to was her place of origin.
Problem is: WHICH origin place?
There's technically 3 or 4 "origin places" for her: Her home on Earth, the Spacetime Hotel, the Prophecy room, and the Throne Room.
Assuming NS's backstory was already planned back then (98% sure it wasn't), saying she goes back to her origin place is a bit aimless.
This is the best pic I could get of the portal btw.
The silhouette at the back resembles Night Swan's appearance. The one place I could theoretically believe she went to was the prophecy room, probably to see if it changed due to her failure. She could've gone to the boat so that she could plan whatever the fuck JD24 was.
It doesn't look like the Spacetime Hotel, and Wanderlust would have most likely seen her during Canned Heat if that was the case, and she DEFINITELY isn't going back to Earth anytime soon.
What can we learn from this map??:
Jack Rose gay af i would've gone for Brezziana instead/j
Also, Wanderlust becoming that swan creature in front of Jack’s eyes would probably be Just Dance's way of preparing him for what's about to happen to his bff (cof cof Swan Lake cof cof).
Night Swan may be like Asahina Mafuyu's mom: claims she is the only one who cares about him and wants the best for him, but the moment he makes a decision for himself, she is already pissed for lacking control. Night Swan doesn't want recognition, neither perfection, neither anything, she wants control. She wants to feel like she can be in control of any situation just so that SHE could have everything she ever wanted, and follow the prophecy of becoming some sort of Goddess. Power combined with a wish of control and perfection is what corrupted her, not just perfection alone.
Damn i sounded smart, anyway uhhh this is technically my second over analysis since my first one was my theory about Scotty not being the coach of his own map. I also want to share my headcanons and ideas with you guys, and sharing a bit of it here might make me comfortable enough to share the rest.
As always, drink water, be happy, don't drink orange juice with toothpaste/ref, and have a good day ( • ⩊ • )

The portal Night Swan uses at the end of Majesty i believe leads to the FACTORY from Sweet Dreams Darkest Hour. Technically THIS is Night Swan's "Origin" - As we see her appear at the end of the map, framing the events of the map as a memory Night Swan his having.
I believe "Night Swan's Origin" referrs to specifically that moment when Leda entered the Factory and became exposed to the influence of the Dark Flow, which formed her new Identity of Night Swan. Everything before was just The story of Leda Nox - the Human visitor who saught attention and fame and power in a different world, and lost herself in the process.
Each of the characters introduce themselves their own unique way. Jack doesn't even introduce himself, so I assume either Wanderlust already knew who he was or they went through the entire map without even knowing JR's name (lol).
I'm thinking that the start of the map is Wanderlust and Jack introducing each other, or rather Wanderlust is greeting Jack Rose. Jack is apprehensive about Wanderlust and his claims about his mother, so they eventually start to fight.
The stage rises, meaning that Jack’s show isn't over, and he still needs to perform his final song of the day.
I personally believe the scene of Jacks "Performance" in both Majesty and Locked out of Heaven is simply a daydream/ vision of Jack. Thinking about how supposedly Jacks Room and living space is underground beneath a stage, a fair distance away from the main swan tower feels odd. Architecturally speaking it makes much more sense for Jack's room to be inside the swan tower instead because i dont believe that the Other Just Dancers (Mihaly Brezzianna and Sarah) would have been able to get up to that tower so quicklyfrom where the understage is implied to be.
also if this were the case, Night swan has to be the cruelest bitch ever ngl to make her son live in such a space.
Here's my Reason: We have seen countless reality distortions happening during maps. Something that I attribute to Flow - Flow has the power to make the dancer hallucinate, making the world appear different and colorful to them, and them alone.
Jack uses his dream to be a performer as his source of Flow and he sees it everytime he dances. He isnt actually on stage, we just see what he sees. That's the point. He is locked out of *his* heaven (being a stage performer). His mom will not let him perform because he is not perfect enough yet/ she doesn't want to be outshone by anyone.
The moment the darkflow wave hits, is still filtered through Jack's dream lense because we still "play" as him - He is confronted with reality as he was distancing himself from his mothers actions - he definetly knows what she has been doing as he is at Night Swan's side in Witch, but instead he indulges in his fantasy, looking the other way.
So in the Darkflow Wave, which I believe was a real event, Jack saw the wave sweep over the city from above - seeing his "future" audience "ripped away from him". I believe in that moment Brezianna and possibly even Mihaly were able to shield themselves and Sarah kinda like how we see Brezziana do it in Stronger (What doesn't kill you) but since Wanderlust wasn't with them and distracted with Jack he got swept up and transformed aswell.
Jack himself was not effected only because I believe Night Swan casted a "spell" that would not effect her son. (She still needed him unchanged). From what I know about real life Witchcraft philosophy, Magic is done with intensions. The reason why Wanderlust was only Enslaved but not Darkified like in Swan Lake is because (1) The intention of the spell was only meant to turn all people in the area into Swan Soldiers, not targetting him specifically (2) Darkification is a more dificult and longer process that neccesitates prolonged exposure to dark flow so the persons mind alters, which (3) Night Swan may not even have been able to do at this point or known about.
This event sort of "Pulls" Jack back to reality, as we ourself switch perspective aswell to Brezianna and Mihaly fighting the recently turned Swan Soldiers.
I believe the 4 Kidnapped Coaches are mere Narrative Proxys, as in they are representational for more large scale events - Night Swan kidnapped many more coaches from their Danceverse to turn into Swansoldiers and power herself up for the Dark Flow Wave spell. Brezianna and Mihaly also freed more than just these 4 coaches.
One interesting tidbit about the start of Majesty: I believe, the scene switch to Jack's Dream, also could symbolize Wanderlust *entering* that dream with him - as in, he tries to understand Jack's worldview and how he sees things by literally "entering" his reality. We, the players, see what *both of them* see - After all we play as both of them for that big stretch of time, then Wanderlust is effectively incapacitated and Jack's dream is destroyed simultaniously, and then we don't play as them again until the moment where Jack frees Wanderlust which takes place in reality. It's hard to put into words but I hope this makes sense.
This could in turn heighten and clarify the symbolism behind the infamous "Save Your Tears Goldmove" reenactment/ parallel situation. I believe it means that Jack and Wanderlust were able to deeply connect to each other in the first section and the gold move is a sort of pay off to that - so the "coaches touching hands thing" is probably not as simple as "It's a kiss metaphor" but rather means that two coaches share an active, deeply emotional connection and understand each other - something that could be both platonic OR romantic.
Dear christ, I only saw that now LMAOO
Pretty good mustard u got there, and I think I understand what you mean with the whole "Jack being or not being a performer" situation. I've been a performer Jack truther since 2022 because in my head, that point in Jack's life would be like- his peak, to prove his mom he can actually be perfect. And I assumed we didn't see this side of him anymore because well, his mama left, he got good friends now, he don't need this anymore.
With the way you explained, I can see why people defend the daydream theory with better light. Even with that, it might be because i've been hellbent on this idea for like 4 years now, but i'm still a bit iffy on if it actually IS a daydream or not (It's Just Dance, I expect much, but not TOO MUCH from them [fan or hater?]). Since official confirmation for now is out of question, I think we can work with what we got.
I got nothing to say abt the rest, you're right loll, I'm sorta bad at explaining analysis in general, so I have 0 complaints heh
Thanks for sharing!!
I mean, probably? I was thinkin of making a blog for each extreme interest (like Just Dance, Hatsune Miku, all that stuff), and that includes Gacha World, so I guess yeah? Cuz if I put it all into a single blog, it's not gonna reach a bunch of people that follow me for any other fanart i've put out 💀
