What’s up tumblr, im giving an unnecessary analyzation of the way people draw Pomni from the amazing digital circus including some drawings of my own. Soo uh, here we go.
First take a good look at cannon pomni
Now throw that idea out there window bc thats not what we’re talking about.
For the most part people draw cannon Pomni with the peanut body and the no neck but when it comes to drawing outside of the OG design and choose a style for Pomni in fan art ive noticed there are three types of Pomnis.
1) Fluffy Pomni
2) Middle Pomni
3) Twig pomni
And these three are a spectrum btw.
1) Fluffy Pomni is large and is aka fat Pomni (I think you can search that tag). This pomni is all around round and has a cutsie adorable vibe going on and I generally feel like the hair on fluffy Pomnis is fluffier that cannon pomni. I also feel like on this kind of pomni the reds are more pinky and less scarlet but I might be making that up.
Examples: the one on the left is by @allhailthequeenuwu and the one on the right is by @poobit
2) Middle Pomni is in between fluffy Pomni and twig pomni and here people usually go away from the cartoony style and try to make a more human version of circus Pomni (im only looking at circus Pomni rn not AUs human or otherwise). This Pomni most likely has larger/more noticeable chest and hips with a thinner waist. Not Disney thin but still thin nonetheless. This pomni also is very close to the typical style of sexy Pomni. Meaning when Pomni is drawn sexually. (Not saying all mid Pomnis are sexy Pomnis btw)
Examples: the one on the left is by veguinsky (on X) and the one on the right is by @nekolapiss
3) Twig pomni is usually drawn very small sharp and masc. with a flatter chest, brighter reds, and straighter hair than the other Pomnis. (Again I might be making those last two up 🤷🏼♀️) If you search masc Pomni you’ll find some twig like Pomnis and twig/masc pomni is actually why I made this post. Bc like I saw her and thought “huh never seen pomni drawn like that before” and took it upon myself self to analyze the different styles for my own satifaction.
Examples: the one on the left is by @sammycore333 and the one on the right is by Re-Animator (on Deviant Art)
That’s basically all I was thinking about for the entire day. Also heres my drawings that have the spectrum of Pomnis.
Tell me if you agree with my analyzation or if I should add something!
"We can totally say that the artist is wrong about their own work. That regardless of what they intended, it means something different."
I think this quote from pretty early on in this video is a very important thing to mention regarding the Stranger Things finale and what the Duffers or Netflix have to say about it vs what we as a community have to say about it. We can absolutely say that they were wrong about their own characters and ending if we have evidence to back that up (which we do!).
Can we talk about this? By 'this' I mean the changes in Buster between Sing 1 and Sing 2 because it simply MUST be addressed.
HIS FUR. In the first movie, it clearly looks rougher and more coarse than in the second one - where it looks soft and thick. Now, as a major animal nerd pursuing veterinary business, I can tell you that the healthier an animal('s diet) is, the softer and shinier their fur is! This is especially true for cats, dogs, horses, and rabbits. I'll bet that since Nana swooped in and saved the theater, Buster's had more money for decent food. Plus, Rosita is always making sure he eats and doesn't stay up all night chugging caffeine.
2. BEHAVIOR. Overall, our koala seems to be the same energetic fur-ball from the first movie, right? Wrong. Paying close attention, in the second movie he is MORE motivated, MORE confident, MORE determined, and we see so much COMPASSION in him in the second movie, especially in the Rosita scenes and I LOVE IT. We also see another side of him. Insecurity. He is easily discouraged by criticism (COMFORT DRAWER- COMFORT DRAWER-) but he is also great at bouncing right back up directly afterward! Love that!
3. MASS. Clearly, more mass has been added to his cheeks by the animators, and he seems to have gained a little weight. However, he is bound to lose some after the trauma in Redshore (if the animators actually take the trauma into account and show that, I will cry with joy. I love those kinds of details.)
4. ENERGY. He seems so much more energetic to me! Especially when he sees Ash - THEY ARE SO CUTE! They are best friends, and that dynamic is just so cute. That girl got a dad she never asked for ^^
5. STRESS. We see a totally different way of being stressed out than in the first movie. In the first movie, he kind of... panics? In the second, it changes. It's clear he has to really try, but he acts much more level-headed in the second movie (I'll bet Eddie helped him-) instead of panicking, he tries his best to just SOLVE the situation rather than stress out over it. I do wish the stress and anxiety that was so obviously difficult for him to handle had been addressed more - even if only by a few scraps of dialogue between him and a worried friend. The closest thing we see from the group in worry for him is some concerned expressions from Johnny and Meena when Crystal rubs Buster's head (which Buster is clearly uncomfortable with).
6. TRAUMA RESPONSE+. So, Buster has clearly been shaken up by Jimmy before Jimmy even tried to kill him the FIRST time. At Calloway's, when he wakes up and Clay growls at him, he flinches and looks afraid. Buster also displays deep discomfort at the presence of Jimmy, or even the mention of him. And when Jimmy tries to kill him at the show? He's clearly terrified and basically having a panic attack... yet he still tells everyone he's never been better. AND WHY WAS CRAWLY THE ONLY ONE WHO ASKED? AND WHY DID THEY ALL JUST BELIEVE HIM? THERE WAS STILL PANIC IN HIS VOICE.
I should preface that I am a huge Mae fan, she is my favorite character. So there may be inherent bias however there are concrete things in the story that don’t have bias that I’d like to point out in the complexion of her own character. To start let’s say that Mae has many issues that kind of go under worked on. It’s obvious that she’s reckless, adventurous, and a little oblivious. However core issues seen in her is her lack of mindfulness, apathy, and general privilege.
Her black and white vision is troubling as she doesn’t think clearly on what is correct or true about other people. She lacks filter, she doesn’t have consequences and this is a huge part of her character. Her lack of consequences is due to her childish like nature and her privilege she has unlike characters like Bea, Angus, and Gregg. She is of course aware of some things, similar to how she is aware about the fact that her friends just deal with her because she is all they can get.
She’s learned not to ask for help, and this is mostly through some form of miscommunication through childhood. We see her parents to be extremely supportive. They talk to her and ask her caring questions, but It could be the possibility that she through her extreme tunnel vision was never clearly taught what to do. This is common in every parent to make, even small mistakes, but specifically with Mae was she grew up surrounded by reckless people and wanted to stay in that childhood. Where she could smash things and have fun, and not deal with the consequences from her parents. This is especially normal throughout people you see growing up.
However one of her largest flaws is her ineptness to ask for help. We see her rot away often despite the support she has, however this recklessness could quite be the same answer to explain this conundrum in her character. When characters grow so used to something, it becomes that coping mechanism. It could be very well that she genuinely believes help just isn’t something she needs. Just because it’s an option doesn’t mean a character is comfortable to take it. Mae likes short, easy things. She doesn’t like the long route, and because people around her have enabled her to have it she doesn’t see the point in reaching out. That even means helping others, which is why she’s so apathetic.
Mae is another thing, incredibly blunt. Not only does her black and white thinking interrupt any form of interaction with other people, she has odd dialect and views everything as something not as serious as it is til it effects her personally. She thinks Bea is “badass” for her moms death, or dealing with the shitty situation she’s in. This is a harmful mindset that she applies to herself. She’s extremely self destructive and stuck in her own head about her own fantasies.
This is most likely a cause of her dissociative disorder she seems to have. Dissociation is a feeling more then just feeling outside your body, it’s like being stuck in it as well. Even when your thousand of miles away you’re still stuck in your own bias. Mae realizes things often, but chooses to stay ignorant to them til it hurts. Like her knowing half the time her friends only stick with her because they are all they can get. They know her for her childish and dangerous attitude and know that it’s something that she needs to move on from.
Mae holds extreme privilege from everyone else in her life. Bea is poor and has to work emotionally and physically constantly for her father and the business, Gregg works a bad job with constant fear that he’ll lose Angus, while Angus is still dealing with his own emotional turmoil of his trauma but also his want for something more then where he is. All of them have that theme, wanting more then what they have but having to cling onto what they have no matter what happens. Which funny enough happens to be each other. They rely on what they are given, and they are given Mae who is to ignorant to be a genuine person around them. Half the time she’s a clueless asshole, but apart of her is charming in that it helps reflect a newer perspective to others. Which is half the reason the three stick around her.
Not only does Mae lack social cues with other people, but mindfulness of her own actions. She’s constantly self destructive and hating herself that little does she realize the pain she causes herself. It’s a painful process of self harm that affects other people in ways she’s not aware.
Now there’s the elephant in the room, which is her dissociative break in high school where she attacks a student almost to death. She doesn’t have consequences for this, rather is shifted into shitty solutions that heightens and again, enforces her mental anguish. She does not have the resources to help herself and doesn’t even know how to obtain them because of lack of understanding of how being a person works. This is definitely an important thing to remember about her is that she’s only broken the shield of ignorance when everything gets the worst that it gets.
Finally, when her consequences catch up to her and she meets the weird cat god and the cultists, does she have her realization. While in a realistic situation, having the realization after all of this isn’t recommended. Having to make sacrifices to realize something about yourself is an extremely destructive thing to do, but it fits Mae’s narrative and that’s why it works. It shows the theme of her own self destruction build up and finally bite her back down. As a story plot, it works that she only comes to the epiphany here. Then, does she apologize and work towards a better self. She feels bad for her actions and the way she’s been affecting Bea and Gregg especially. Bea seems the most affected as she has her always tagging along, and Bea has her own situation that with Mae’s blunt force doesn’t help.
I think what people forget about Mae is that she’s not a comedy joke and nor is she a good person. She’s done awful or just mean things to people because of her own mental issues, but that’s what is so important about her character. Is that she’s such a complicated and working person, that from there one does she realize her need for help and how she could help her friends.

isn’t it funny?
How Time changes
Or rather, refuses to
Time doesn't change, in actuality
Such is only perception on the part of lower beings
Mortals
The acute minds of smaller entities
Time Continues steadily
Time knows only one loyalty
Yes, Time is faithful
For you, the same cannot be said.
It's funny.
You spawn of Regret
Regret, a curse that can be escaped
Or, alas, could have been, had hindsight not hidden her naked body from your youthful eyes
Irony, too, plays with it's food
But, of all this you are aware.
Or…are you?
Do you regret?
Do you grieve?
…of course not
What am I thinking
Of course not.
…It's funny
Nurturing such questions
It's…funny
Fate has laid her pieces out
And you have made your moves
Woe to you, it seems, one who is set in their ways
One who is set in stone.
Hardened is your soul, your essence
Why is it we were placed wrongly on this scale?
Alas, it seems your longing for mercy goes unanswered
Alas, we've fallen from what little grace we'd attained
That is the nature of things
This world rewards those who reap misfortune
A bittersweet misfortune, it is
It's funny.
What pride have you, to rebel Fate and her peons?
What arrogance do you cling to?
That you may set things right?
Though, I suppose…
That, we shall share always.
Eternity till Entropy
Until one or the other crumbles
Remember, chimera, stone is brittle.
The blood of a companion is thicker than the waters of birth.
Of this I am relieved…
For you've long since tainted the streams of our youth.
No tree can grow in a parasitic wasteland.
That is, none that will last.
No, long gone is the person I once thought to know
Long dead, are they, and no requiem shall I hold.
Loathe am I to the sowers of our misfortune
Loathe am I to the mother of our wakefulness.
It would have been better to have never existed.
To have never known you
To have never held you
To have never loved you
To have never lost you
But Solace is my lover, for she reminds me that it is not I, nor myself, nor him to blame, but you.
Her and them and you and you and you and-
It's funny.
Scramble up the hill
A hill of graves
Tombstones upon tombstones, add as many as you will.
Will it ever be enough for you?
Their downfall will not be your upbringing
The ladder is unstable
Your goal is unattainable.
Claw, fight, scream
Not an ear will turn to you in pity
Humorous, Karma and the bubbling brooks of her laughter
Where is your control?
When did you pass it to me, pray tell?
…unfortunate fool.
Not an ear will turn to you in compassion
Forever out of reach, as long as free will remains mine
Time changes not
But every person does, will, must!
Oh the pained naivety!
Does rock abstain one from growth?
Silly me! Silly you!
w h y a r e n ' t y o u l a u g h I n g ?
…I can't hear her laughing anymore.
I can't hear her at all.
The laughter is him. Always him. Us?
us.
You were never needed, were you, oh iridescent zephyr?
Acceptance.
A weapon I've obtained
A defense you've yet to claim
Illusion of the unconscious mind, feeder of false hope, luminous liar of the night.
Dearest delusion of grandeur.
Proof that supports my headcanon and predictions, for TMNT MUTANT MAYHEM
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY IMAGES USED BELOW
If you have read my headcannon and plot prediction/ analysis, then you know that one of my headcanons was that it was Leo's idea for the crime fighting to be accepted by people
While Raph, Donnie And Mikey are fully convinced and just go with it because they think they all just want to be accepted, Leo's true motives is to spend time with his brothers more and be included and taken seriously.
Notice, how he quickly reassured Raph in this scene:
Donnie: Now that we know where all their bases are
Mikey: We can take them down one by one!
Raph : What about dad?
Leo: Dad is nocturnal! He won't notice the difference.
