was watching Cdot’s newest short and IMMEDIATELY got hit with SW flashbacks when he wore the power glove on his hand 🥲 (bro the way my brain works is whenever I see something that reminds me of SW, it’s like a flashbang inside my mind 🥹)

honestly though I kinda wonder how Cdot came up with the idea of his character wielding the power glove and wearing it as a part of his character design. I mean he does use it as a way to travel between games in the second half of S2 so maybe that was planned due to that but idk it’s an interesting thought to wonder how he came up with that. 🤔

how I look seeing some shit about the RPK discord server and Danno’s discord server on my timeline knowing damn well that I left the RPK server back in February (when I quit watching RPK) and left Danno’s server sometime back in 2025 (had never talked in there): (/lh)

for once i feel employed about a situation /j /silly /nsrs

(but nah seriously what happened?? I’ve been hearing that they both got age restricted but I’ve also heard that they both just shut down?? informed ppl tell me pls 🙏 /nf)

[reyanimates]

ever since I created the character sheets for my CBSMP:BTS AU, I’ve been thinking about making the new designs I created for a couple others (that weren’t based on their Minecraft skins) into actual skins to see how’d they look in game so first up we have Demigod Bam! :D (will make Cdot’s Walmart NPC design and Danno’s library thief design next at some point)

the 1st image is a SS from NameMC (a site where you can look up Minecraft accounts) of me wearing the skin and then the 2nd image is a photo I took wearing the skin in my CBSMP replica world 👍

I think it turned out AMAZING! and also I used Bam’s MC skin as a base for it so I could just work off of that (evident by his same eye shape). obviously I wasn’t able to do his long, lustrous hair justice, had to draw it on the back and try to give it volume lmao) but it’s fine 🥲 (everything else came out beautifully though 😁)

[reyanimates]

okay yall so for a while now I’ve been wanting to draw something revolving around the type of things that GB!Danno makes Riggy do for him and I thought of the amazing and funny idea to make him use Riggy as a footstool often so here it is!😂

yeah nah GB!Danno would just make Riggy crouch on the floor for a couple hours while he relaxes lmao 😁

(I did want to dub this when I drew it but I’m sick rn and my voice sounds like ass so I’ll have to wait until I’m not sick anymore to dub it since I think that would be fun)

[shorts-wars-role-reversal]

ever since I redrew some PFPs for ‘WII SPORTS + BOSS LORE’ I’ve been tempted to do some more so take the ones I made for RR!Cdot! (I decided to do both of Bam’s PFPs because I like them both :D)

I really love how both of them came out and I think I even nailed replicating the backgrounds! (yeah I made those bad boys ENTIRELY from scratch)

so yeah the first one is the one that RR!Cdot canonically has during SW:RR and then the other one is for RR:RPK. man look at how happy RR!Cdot looks in the first one, if only he knew what’s coming for him 😀 (/silly)

[reyanimates]

omg guys art with no watermark look at how fire my art is 😁 (/silly) (the punchline is that this IS my art lmao)

(but in all seriousness guys art theft is bad don’t do it im just being funny; I intentionally left off my watermark since I didn’t put it on for the other SW:RR PFPs)

[reyanimates]

something that I have been seeing ever since tomodachi life: living the dream came out is people making “self aware” miis on their island?? like it honestly confuses me because like why are they all made to be scared and isolated from everyone else?

genuinely I keep seeing people post about their “self aware” miis on my tt fyp but it doesn’t make sense to me. obviously since there isn’t an actual setting to make miis self aware so you just have to pretend, but whenever I see people make them they are always scared/nervous and given the nervous little quirks like the standing and walking. also same with them being isolated from all the other miis. like what exactly are they “self aware” about? only reason I can come up with in my head is they know that they aren’t real and are just a mii but why are they ALL scared and nervous?? (not to mention the fact that they’re all pretty much just copy n pastes of one another with no unique features across design or behavior but whatever) and also why are they all isolated from everyone else? that aspect genuinely confuses me.

obviously everyone is entitled to make whatever they want in tomodachi life, but every time I see someone post about their “self aware” mii, I just get a bit confused about the logistics behind it. (maybe it’s just something within the tomodachi life fandom that I don’t understand or something, I just play the game lol)

[reyanimates]

Would Greedy Boss Danno try to use Riggy as some type of transportation around the house? I don't know its just kinda funny to me lol

lol no he wouldn’t however he does use Riggy as a footstool from time to time 😉

(I’ve been meaning to draw that thx for the reminder 🤫)

[reyanimates]

figured since my style has improved A LOT since I first drew GB!Danno’s character sheet that I’d redraw it! (under cut is the old one from 2025)

also the colors of his skin and hair weren’t correct to the colors I use to draw Danno normally so I redrew it for that reason too (that would just make me not use it which defeats the purpose of a character sheet lmao)

and one last thing that I did was I added a couple things to his description like ‘verbally abusive’ (because that’s what he is lol) and also ‘isn’t dating Layah here’ because of the fact that this guy (in this universe) does not deserve her AT ALL. like literally if you were to ask GB!Danno’s opinion on love, he’d say something like “love is a waste of time and gets in the way of bigger and better things like fame and money” (so yeah bro is an incel I suppose 😅)

more Renardette fanart because I am STILL OBSESSED with her design 🥹

(or maybe I’m just going crazy because we’re getting ZERO new MLB episodes until June, it’s probably that one but hush 🤫)

lowkey I think it’d be pretty cool if Marinette and Alya switched miraculous and we’d get Renardette AND Scarabella for an episode working together, I’m just saying, that’d be sick 👍 (but then again, I doubt we’re ever going to see Renardette again but let me dream yall 😭)

might color this later when I get the chance but we’ll see 🤷

[reyanimates]

colored it yall!! 😄

yeah in order to fit the drawing into my sketchbook I had to make it foldable lmao

(also yes I know Marinette’s hair ain’t blue but it was the closest color I had to a dark blue and or black don’t judge me 🤫 /silly)

guys okay so over the weekend I decided to rewatch SW (yk since I haven’t watched it in a long time and I wanted to refresh my memory) and I have yet to rewatch S3 but I have rewatched S1-2 so here’s a couple notes I made mentally about it ^^

1) okay so first of all, and the most funny one was that FD SAYS 6 7 IN ONE OF HIS LOGS. I can’t remember which one it was but he says something like “I cloned myself 6 or 7 times” now don’t get me wrong, I don’t find 6 7 funny at all, but just the unexpectedness of its placement got a cackle out of me (bro FD predicted 6 7 back in 2023 guys oh my god 🤯)

2) next thing I noted was that Cdot actually did try to tell Pear about Melon. It’s a common criticism of SW!Cdot that he never told Pear about him saving Melon, but in ‘Site_2.mp4’ when Frederick and Cdot are chatting, Cdot says that he did try to tell Pear that about Melon but his call must’ve cut out. So I guess that was debunked and the fandom just skimmed over it or something 🤷

3) and then a final thing I noted (that isn’t exactly lore relevant but it’s just an interesting detail I noticed) was that Cdot sort of replaced Phaleur in like making Nintendo (specifically Tears Of The Kingdom) content, not like any lore related role or something. Because during S1 most of the time, Phaleur made TOTK shorts, you can see that was mainly what he made shorts about during S1, like in his ad read video for example. But when he left in S2, who joined the cast that made Nintendo (and especially TOTK) shorts? Cdot did. So yeah, not like a lore relevant detail but just something I took note of during my rewatch 😄

I have yet to rewatch S3 because of times sake but I will get around to it, and I just really wanted to refresh my memory about it and also just because I haven’t watched the entire thing in a while :D (obviously I noted other things but these were the 3 most prevalent ones)

[reyanimates]

here's some more art of Palmetto and Manx!! (from my Miraculous: Lackey Duo thingy :D) specifically a SS redraw from 'Optigami'

after thinking about it for a little bit, I thought it would be funny if Manx would still flirt with Palmetto just a little bit (even though they aren't going to be together) like how Chat Noir flirts with Ladybug but toned down a bit. (like calling him m'lord, which is apparently the male version of m'lady so it's sticking 😂) The reason for this would be that since kwamis in the show have shown to have an affect on their wielder's personalities, and since Bam would admire Palmetto on a platonic level, when Plagg is combined, Manx would do just a bit of flirting because of it (also because I think it'd be a little funny). And then obviously Palmetto would playfully reject Manx just like how Ladybug does to Chat Noir in the show 😄 (so yes they'd still be platonic, but there would be just a smidge of flirting from Manx)

im honestly really enjoying drawing these two and I really want to do more 🤩 (I mean it's lackey duo so are we surprised? /j)

here’s the ref ⬇️

[reyanimates]

yall so I was scrolling on tiktok and I came across a tutorial on how to make a gravestone house in tomodachi life: living the dream and so I thought it would be funny if I followed it and made Preston’s house his grave from the post credits scene in SW and here it is!! 😂

why’d it actually come out pretty good lmao? ngl I have been chuckling at this for the past couple minutes ever since I made it 🥹 (I tried my best to make the text at the bottom but it kept pixelating it due to how small it is so I just had to suck it up 😅)

[reyanimates]

so I was thinking about SW (like I always do), specifically about lackey duo. I thought about it while in the midst of watching some Miraculous, but then I had a eureka moment (yk, when I get inspired to make a concept/AU). and so adding another concept to my never ending list of projects, we have Miraculous: Lackey Duo!!

we got both Pamello (Cdot w/ the ladybug miraculous) and Manx! (Bam w/ the black cat miraculous). And yeah their hero names derive from their animal like a manx is a type of black cat and a pamello (full name pamello weevil) is a type of a red bug. what’s funny is that I originally was going to have their miraculous switched (so Bam with the ladybug and Cdot with the black cat) but then I remembered that Bam’s whole branding as of recently has been cat stuff so I switched it around to this :3

AND I LOVE THEIR DESIGNS AHHH 😍for Cdot’s design, when I was looking up design inspo on Pinterest and I came across this like cape-scarf thingy, it reminded me of Hornet from Silksong so I gave it to Cdot :D Also, with pretty much all of my Bam designs, I have to make him slay the day away in some way so this time I gave him a ponytail and he’s rocking it 😎

let me make this clear now; IM NOT SHIPPING THEM!! (ik that in the lore of the show that Ladybug and Chat Noir are soulmates, but that’s not what this is about) literally nothing that i make surrounding lackey duo will ever be romantic, so don’t interpret it that way please. not all soulmates are romantic, and i personally believe they are platonic soulmates who are destined to become friends in every single universe >:D (i mean just look at all my other aus 😅)

so yeah expect more art on these two in the future 🤩 (don’t worry, im still working on BTS!Bam’s magical girl transformation and that is my top priority rn 😉

[reyanimates]

after one week of procrastination I FINALLY began BTS!Bam’s magical girl transformation! i did end up going back to Procreate to do it as i found out Adobe Fresco didn’t have the correct feature, and then i tried an app called Krita but it was too complicated for me so i went back to my original program to do it :D

what i have to do though is i have to animate it in 3 chunks in order to use my ref video, and the animation itself will be around 15 seconds, but since the ref clips aren’t equal in length, i have an 8 second, a 4 second, and a 3 second, so wish me luck with that (i also had to sacrifice the quality too so i do apologize in advance 🥲)

but here’s one of the teaser images for the animation! It’s coming along pretty good so far and I can’t wait for yall to see the full thing! 😁
