Don't forget it's still free Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Yemen, West Papua, Tigray, Haiti, Burma/Myanmar, Uyghurs, Syria, Kashmir, Cameroon, Armenia and Kurdistan.
Regardless of who you are or where you come from, if you do not feel outrage, anguish, and grief for these innocent lives lost, something is amiss, and you must consider why you lack the drive to take action.
Their fight should be considered our fight, as it is one for human rights.
I've been going through art block once again, but I got back into my childhood channel, Venturiantale (mainly P.I.E), and it got so bad that I wanted to write down as much as I could
Fair warning that I have not watched these guys since before 2020, and while I've been watching the videos I haven't gotten to the Puppet Arc yet (which seems to have an actual plot?) and I don't remember that arc enough to have any ideas for
Unfortunately Spooker and Colon won't be in here, as I've just gotten to Spooker being introduce and I have no idea when Colon shows up in the series. (the same kinda goes for Katrina and Josh? they will be mentioned in this but overall I need to figure their characters out before making actual hcs)
My version of Gavin is just the same as basic fanon (unless I missed anything that might be bad), so I don't see a need to say anything about him
Johnny Ghost:
I actually don't have much for him? I don't know I just can't seem to click with this character all too much, which might have to do with him being played by Jordon? I'll try to write some things down
He is a 23 yr, Aroace Biromantic (closeted) Cis-man with terrible anger issues and an inflated ego
I see Ghost with DID, however Jimmy Casket is not an alter, but just a ghost/demon possessing him. If Jimmy were to be an alter I could only see it as an alternate dimensional version of sorts where he is not a serial killer but just a regular alter (possibly a persecutor if need be)
I do plan on giving Ghost a few alters, however I'll need to do more research before writing about them (think it would be interesting to make an alter with a British accent who likes to co-front, as a kinda nod to Jordan giving Ghost a British accent on accident at times)
Only living relative is his Mother, Amelia Jones
His birth name was Gregory Casket, before getting it changed legally to Johnathan Jones, and now goes by Johnny Ghost cause "Johnathan Jones" as a name embarrasses him. Doesn't remember his birth name and his mother intends to keep it that way
Johnny Toast:
My favorite so I have a lot for him
He is a 25 yr, Demiromantic Bisexual Trans-man
He has a British father and an Irish/Scottish mother
He was closest with his mother when he was younger, actually had an accent closest to hers, but as he aged he tried to be more like his fathers side of the family due to fear and the British accent stuck
Was scared of his father, only talked to him if he talked to him first
The middle child, twin brother of Gavin and older brother of Jenny
His deadname was closer to Gavin's name, but changed it when he met Johnny
Fell in love with Mari due to her being the only constant warmth in his life, willing to yell at even his father for her safety
Shortly after her death, the only people willing to talk to him still were Ghost and Mari's sister, Lillian. He started willingly visiting her once he started feeling better
Still becomes and stays a Werewolf, but is really self conscious about it. Not being in control of his body is a nightmare for him, especially when he can hear and see so much more than he wants. The only benefit is that he can indicate supernatural activity better
Still a Macaroni dealer, thought that would be important to mention
Marian Bell:
Due to her being a blank slate I've been having a lot of fun figuring her out
She is a 24 yr, Straight, Trans-woman
Met Gavin first as children, they became good friends and he eventually had her meet Johnny and Jenny
A perfectionist, she enjoys studying the paranormal and always seems to gravitate towards anything supernatural
Fell in love with Johnny, both due to his manners, but also for him willing to rebel whenever it came to her needs
Only has her older sister, the rest of her family went no contact with her after she came out
She's dead in the main Dimension, sadly, but in a Dimension where she isn't, she happily works with both Johnny's at P.I.E. Usually the one to cool Ghost's ego when Toast won't speak up
Jenny Toast:
Not in the actual series physically, but she exists so I wanted to figure her out
She is a 23 yr, Lesbian, Cis-Woman
Was a cop, but only for two years and left when she realized how corrupted and dumb her fellow cops and the government were
Only became said cop because both of her brothers became criminals in their own rights and she wanted to give them what they deserved. She's moved past that, but she's still disappointed
Blames Johnny for Mari's death, but is mad at Gavin for trying to kill Johnny afterwards
Has either lost or went no contact with her family. Her only friends are Katrina and Josh, even if Katrina's now a ghost haunting her and Josh's house
Has been going on adventures with Josh to try and figure out how to bring Katrina and Mari back from the dead
The only sibling to visit her Mother's grave daily, though she does see the occasional flower from both her brothers
Basically a mixture of both Jenny Toasts that exist in the series, cause that was ridiculous to me
gordon and bubby have s fun dynamic partially built on them both being similarly petty and irritable, and a camraderie based on them frequently being the only two ‘lucid’ characters and thereby suffering the same things. there’s also maybe an undertone of guilt from the different secrets they’re keeping from the other.
this makes it fun that bubby is also the only one in the science team who doesn’t get anyyy kind of insider info. benrey knows their world is kind of fake and knows gordon is an outsider, coomer knows they’re characters in a video game and gordon is the player, tommy sees game elements and is possibly enlightened by his gman status, bubby doesn’t know shit. he thinks that he and gordon risked their lives together, nearly died repeatedly, and fought their way out side by side, and that he got gordon’s hand cut off.
this sets up a fun contrast between coomer and bubby’s relationships with gordon. coomer knows that gordon was never in danger, was never really “there”, but considers him a friend and waits for him. bubby doesn’t consider him a friend, or doesn’t admit it, but does think that they’re brothers in arms, that they went though hell together.
also why in my imaginings of hl2vrai bubby finding out about gordon is a big point. it’s less existential horror and more of a betrayal, that they weren’t going through hell together but that gordon was safe and left him in hell for twenty years
hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok
It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.
This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.
Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.
You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?
RAHHH I can finally post this!! This was the illustration I did for the @tmntzines Leader In Blue zine. They just started working on the next zine, which is gonna be all about Raphael this time, so ya'll should totally go and check that out!
