Artfight references!
Phoenix, Arborador, Gwyneira, and Electra all needed updates, but the other guardians are new, fresh designs!
I'll probably go back and add extra notes and details, namely front-facing views of characters, but I'm just proud of myself for getting these all done within a month.
'A Drag Path' but it's the murder victims from OMITB...
I doubt I'm the first person to think of this. I don't want to do my own research on this because I'm afraid I'll find an edit of the characters to the song and I'll cry.

Spyro: A Realm Beyond - Official Announcement Trailer
Holy shit new Spyro game
Now I can justify my continued interest in a long dead spinoff franchise!!!
For your consideration: an Invisimech son named Daniel.
I know the go-to name for any son of Robert Robertson III is Robert IIII Chase
But how cute would it be if Robert and Courtney had a son and named him after Lieutenant Dan
And another thing (Invisigal post again)
Something I've noticed in this fandom is how people who dislike Invisigal tend to use her old villain name 'Invisibitch.' And that... really just rubs me the wrong way.
'Bitch' is a gendered insult, one used to demean and degrade women. And yes, women may reclaim that word for themselves in funny or playful contexts - Courtney going by Invisibitch seems like her way of taking the power away from someone who may insult her first - but when I see people in this fandom use 'Invisibitch' it's never in a friendly context. It's always as a means of insulting the character.
Now, this is a fictional character from a video game, but we shouldn't be encouraging this behavior, because:
1.) We shouldn't let men think it's okay to call a woman a bitch because she's done bad or her mistreatment is justified, because bad men will always find a way to justify their abuse.
2.) Someone from a marginalized group using a demeaning name to describe themselves (in attempt to take the power out of that word) doesn't mean it's okay for others not in that group to also use that term.
I cannot stress this enough: you cannot let people think it's okay to insult someone's gender, race, sexuality, or anything like that just because the person in question has done wrong. Even if it's a fictional character, real life people will see fit to withhold basic human respect.
Dispatch ALSO said "the prison industrial complex has failed us. it has always been one on one mentoring and rehabilitation programs that allow people to get back on their feet and make better choices and is the true way to reduce crime" but I don't think y'all are ready for that conversation
Hey before anyone defends Invisigal just think about what you'd think if it was the other way around and Robert was doing that stuff to her, alright?
Yeah that wouldn't be a great thing for someone to do, right?
Well yeah, because Robert is Invisigal’s boss. Invisigal has pretty much no power over Robert - apart from her actual superpowers but if you think Invisimech is toxic because Visi could use her powers to take advantage of Robert then you also can’t be okay with shipping him with anyone else on the Z-Team.
If Robert really had a problem with Invisigal’s treatment of him, if he really didn’t think she was worth the effort, he wouldn’t have bothered helping her. People like to say “Invisigal is a grown woman who should do better” but also act like Robert is a shy baby bean who can’t defend himself. He understands that underneath Visi’s aloofness and snark is someone who wants to be better but doesn’t know how to ask.
Robert canonically cares about Visi, even if you don’t romance her, even if you choose every negative interaction with her (and then throw up your hands and cry “how could Visi do this” when she concludes she’s unredeemable)
There’s nothing Visi does that someone else on the Z-Team also does, and the fact that she gets called a bitch for punching Robert and making sex jokes at him while Flambé can also sock Robert and sing a song about his genitals and be treated as Robert’s one true love is indicative of a misogynistic mindset that’s been lurking beneath the surface of fandom discussion for far too long
Edit: Also before anyone comes at me with “but Blonde Blazer told Robert she wouldn’t have let him cut Invisigal!” We don’t know if she was serious. She said this AFTER Visi got out of the red and was guaranteed to not be cut. To me, it reads more like Blazer reassuring Robert that she sees good in Visi too, and thanking him for giving her a shot.
I got my brother to play Dispatch. He ended up romancing Invisigal, but then chose to cut her in episode 7
I thought he misclicked, but no…
Without turning his head, he said to me: “I can’t let my dick make decisions for me”
He ended up leaning into the kiss, so I guess he’s still team Visi. I’m sad that he cut my bbygrl, but proud of him for opting to keep his work life and personal life separate.
Dispatch really said
- you will always be stronger as a team than you will alone
- people grow and become better when they are given external support and community, and tend to struggle when they don't have those things
- there is no such thing as a good or bad person, a hero or a villain
- your actions are what make you who you are, not anything else
- connection and understanding always start with meeting people where they are at and empathizing with them
- doing the right thing always comes at a cost. That's why it's so hard to do
- reckless and selfish actions impact those around you, not just yourself
- being a "hero" isn't about one big gesture, one big fight against evil, one flashy showdown. It's helping others even when they are rude. Even when they are thoughtless. Even if they don't care about you. Especially - ESPECIALLY, if it is inconvenient
- doing the right thing doesn't have to be fucking boring
Not gonna lie I kinda hate the compulsion in fandom to shove every relationship into rigid definition boxes. Every relationship is either parent-child, siblings or romantic. Come on. Relationships are so much more complex than that. Do you at least have friends.
Excuses (a rambly Invisigal post)
Something I've seen quite a few times is that Invisigal's "I have villain powers" excuse doesn't count when there's people like Malevola and Coupe who have more villainous powers. But this is just an excuse and the game doesn't let Visi get away with it.
When Invisigal says this, it's at the end of her shift in Chapter 3. Someone is getting cut, that someone being whomever is at the bottom of the leaderboards, and by the end of the shift, it's Invisigal.
Now, Invisigal is someone who hides behind a wall of snark and sarcasm to hide her true feelings. She doesn't seem to have a support system outside of Blonde Blazer and Golem, and even then she seems to keep them at arms length. She's mentioned to have joined the Phoenix Program willingly and actually sticks with it by the time Robert joins SDN.
Visi does care about doing a good job. But she keeps coming up short. So rather than admit that she cares about something that's slipping through her fingers, she just throws her hands up and says "it's fate! I have villain powers, it's meant to be."
Certain Invisigal critics are quick to point to Malevola, a literal demon, who's doing better than Visi, and use that as an example as to why Visi's no good. To that I say "well good for Malevola, but Visi is the one needing help right now."
To me, there's something shitty about this line of thinking, that Invisigal isn't trying or working to get better because she's not doing as well as someone else in that moment. Whether or not Invisigal's powers make her a villain isn't what's important. What's important is that Inivisigal thinks her powers are what make her a villain. Visi was at a low point and she needed some support and guidance. The same thing happens to Waterboy or Phenomaman in the next chapter.
And honestly, I don't think I care if someone dislikes a character I like. My problem comes from people shitting on a character for reasons that may pertain to people in real life. It's shitty to think someone is a lost cause because the speed of their progress doesn't line up with someone else's. It's shitty to deny someone help because someone else got by without it.
But I'm biased towards Visi, because I relate to her journey. I struggled with depression and anxiety that affected my grades and social life and just caused me to shut down. I'm still feeling it today, and there were times where I thought all the effort to combat it was a waste. All the therapy appointments, all the medication, all the money poured into it. There were times were I resigned myself to misery, thinking it's all there was for me.
What certainly didn't help was comparing myself to other people, people who had more reason to be miserable but still powered through it. Now I know that improvement looks different for everyone, and even though my progress is slow, it's still progress.
If there's anything you take away from this, let it be that you're entitled to your own opinions, but remember how harmful ideas may slip through and impact other people.
