@asch2inspire's Simonhe is cute as a button, so of course i had to draw her with my new interpretation.

Saw that you're doodling the Magician boi and was wondering... The specific scene with him falling in love with Baby Ray when seeing the sandcastle he built... Is it possible that something else Ray does, probably by accident, triggers him to get the same "this is my son- Heartattack..." but, cuter? Was wondering if that is even possible for him.

OH ABSOLUTELY!!!! and its very very simple :3c

ray is a very polite lil kid, so he’ll probably call him mr.magician most of the time, but sometimes, he lets the Big D Word slip:

He’d Die For His Son

...and funfact he still goes !!!!!!!! every single time ray calls him like that

Okay but what if we just tagged like 4 or 5 random Rayman fans and then rate their versions of Mr Dark from 1 to 10? (retagging is allowable and I even encourage you to)

Okay here we go… (omg I’m so NERVOUS I’M SORRY IF I TAG YOU-)

Gio (aka @slightly-gay-pogohammer ) and @nausinoisette ‘s Mr Darks: Since their Mr Darks are similar to each other in terms of backstory, they’re going on the same spot. I find that their backstories are actually pretty good. A former alchemist/ scientist- one who wants to study nightmares- to the point where he pretty much gets to become one? I mean, he gets subconsciously possessed by another nightmare, but still. They were also two of the artists who inspired me to make several pieces of Alesdark art (their stories on how Ales met Dark is interesting), so props to them. All in all, I’d give both versions a 9/10.

@starflethegreat ‘s Mr Dark: Or should I say… Mr Midnight? I find this version to be cute, maybe even cuter than MY version (I mean, let’s be honest, I’m starting to realize that I’ve been trying too hard on him). The idea of him swapping roles with Betilla and her sisters is rather clever, and seeing how he would treat Swap!Rayman as his own child (um… credits to @asch2inspire for expanding on the Rayswap AU), it’s just… the icing on the cake (no pun intended), he’s just so pure. Overall, I’d give this version a 10/10.

@djsherriff ‘s Mr Dark: Okay, this is a long one. I know that she’s the craziest of us Rayman artists, but you gotta admit, the idea of Mr Dark just being evil for the sake of being evil DOES fit into the franchise’s goofiness. Like… yeah, I know people portray him as a typical villain with a sad backstory and all, and I like that! But… Rayman used to be about a random limbless dude living like a celebrity in a Saturday Morning cartoon, and Dark was mostly in that era. You expect him to have an edgy tragic backstory? Nahh… but on the flip-side (and this is just a eensy-weensy nitpick here but), there needs to be SOMETHING that can trigger him while still sounding cartoonish. Since this Dark used to work as a clown in a circus, maybe I suggest that he… one day gets tired of being laughed at even though that’s his entire purpose. That’s not going to stop me from giving you a 8/10. Goofy Dark who inspired me to make a Goofy Dark.

@thedragonlair77 ‘s Mr Dark: Listen, there’s… not much to say in terms of BACKSTORY, but his relationship with Draygon IS heartwarming. I imagine him starting off with manipulating the little baby boi into doing his bidding before growing onto him and actually treating him like he’s family. That would be SO good. 8/10.

And finally… @full-moon-phoenix ‘s Mr Dark: I know that they don’t post that much about their AU, let alone their own Rayman AU, but the design for their Mr Dark looks GREAT! BEAUTIFUL even! And his relationship with Rayman is cool too, them becoming reluctant friends and then traveling to find out who created them is interesting at best. Overall, this Mr Dark gets a 9/10. Points off for not giving out enough information to the rest of us, since you’re gonna need to shout it all out loud, but everything else seems to check out!

After seeing the pic "sphinx's day off", made by sandara on DA, "The Sphinx in her Lair" by goldfishking helped too, an image of a "fully matured/evolved" Ly came to my mind, where she'd have some sphinx-like traits, but more fairy based instead of eagle. We have seen her in canon already walk on all four, and it wouldn't be to far that if this where to happen she'd still be able to stand and walk on her hind legs though she'd not be able to run as gracefully anymore due to having grown to heavy

Okay first, let me link Sandara’s Sphynx and Goldfishking’s too because those two pieces are pretty good and need to be seen.(I particularly love Sandara’s sphynx design) The subject you’re breaching is something I talked about before. To sum it up, how I personally envision Ly to evolve is closer to a Yokai. For me, the more she gains in ‘strength’ the more she’d looks like a ‘proper’ fairy. So tbh, a Ly with more sphynx like features would be closer of what I see her to have started off rather than the end game evolution...(Speaking of which, it’s funny you mention this, coz I had a comic in mind to make on the subject. I guess I’ll have to work on it sooner.) But uh...Let’s be clear on something important here. If Ly ending up as a Sphynx like creature is how you feel she should evolve character design wise in the future, by all means, go for it. The concept itself is pretty damn cool and makes sense. I said it before, while it’s humbling you guys ask me about headcanons, specifically on Ly, I have no right to judge whether something is “worthy” or not to be valid.  Also, just because it’s not part of my headcanon, it doesn’t mean it isn’t valid.

So in summary...

Even if Ubisoft finally decided to bring her back into the franchise, all of those versions of Ly would still be valid.

Hello there, Was just wondering, What does Brute Justice feel about the other inhabitants of Snaxburg? Especially Cromdo and Shelda? Is he gullible to their Lies and Dealings or is he suspicious of them?

He believes them both! Though he does chide Cromdo frequently in a very ‘after-school special talking to kids about drugs’ kind of way ahaha

Raymesis and Betrayal (Sorry if this bothers you feel free to ignore if it does)

(not at all, it’s a very interesting prompt idea!)

"You lied to me!"

His voice boomed off the walls of the study. Mr. Dark raised his gaze from the old parchment he had been reading, more annoyed than surprised by the interruption. He carefully rolled up the borderline crumbling page, setting it aside for later. These obscure symbols of power had been forgotten for centuries, till he had uncovered them recently. They could wait a while longer, until he resolved this little incident.

"I lie to a lot of people." he turned around a familiar face walking towards him, the usual neutral expression replaced with absolute fury. "You will have to be a little more specific than that."

Raymesis stopped just a few feet from him, missing the usual ceremonies of bowing before his master. That alone was already somewhat peculiar.

"You said my purpose was to kill him." he said, his fists still shaking. He looked no more scuffled that after any other skirmish with his Glade-born counterpart.

"That is the idea, yes." the mage replied, his voice both measured and somewhat alarming in its calmness. "One which you have obviously failed to fulfill, once again."

"Because I can't!" the limbless raised his voice, the yellow glow in his eyes flaring up in time with his frustration. "Because if I try, this happens!"

He pulled off one of his gloves, showing his hand to him. There was fresh burn along the back of his hand. Nothing too threatening, but certainly enough to sting.

"We fought, but he got away." Raymesis continued when his master gave no response, lightly brushing his injured hand. The wound wasn't what bothered him, that was certain. He could have healed that at any time, as a creature of darkness. "I got a hit in, but the wound appeared on me, too. And you knew this, you always knew this would happen!"

The yellow glow in Mr. Dark's eyes danced bright as ever. Whether he felt anything over the matter, his minion could not tell. In a sense, his passivity was worse than any other reaction.

"That means if I kill him... if I fulfill the purpose you gave me, I'll die too!" the limbless shouted.

"Yes." he spoke up again. "That would be part of the plan."

Raymesis took a half-step back, taking in his master's words. He didn't exactly demand compassion, but certainly did not expect complete disregard.

"Then why should I hunt him?" he asked, glaring at him. "Why should I bother to kill him, when that would mean that I'll die too?"

The darkness in any corner in the room seemed to pool around the two, the faint light of the candle by the desk all but snuffed out completely. He looked up, watching as Mr. Dark's form was blurring together with the lack of light, as if his presence was slowly growing to encompass every inch of the room.

"Because that is what I ordered you to do." Dark's voice was low, missing that slight mocking tone Raymesis had grown to know whenever he talked to most people. "Because that is what I created you to do."

"I will not die for your plans."

"You will do as you are told." he said, his gaze now an endless void of yellow and black, threatening to swallow and consume anything that dared to be in the way. "I created you for a purpose. It is a purpose you shall follow to the letter, for that is your use to me."

He took a step forward, the shadows in the room moving alongside him. Raymesis tried to stand his ground, but the rush of magic in the air was pushing him back towards the entrance, despite his best efforts.

"If you do not wish to follow orders, then your usefulness to me has already ended." he continued. "I have disposed of associates for much less than this, so for your sake, I advise you to purge this discussion from your memory and carry on with your task. I made you and I can unmake you, if I become so inclined."

For one fleeting second, Raymesis could see it all play out. A cry of anger, a lunge with all the magic he could muster, his hand reaching into the heart of darkness to extinguish his shadowy master and thereby gain freedom. But he was not so naive as to not see the thousands of other outcomes, each ending with him meeting his demise here, his death unknown to everyone. Such a thought was unacceptable to him.

He set his teeth and bowed without another word, leaving the room. Mr. Dark returned to his study soon after, as if this whole matter was merely a momentary distraction. The fury would not dissipate from the limbless so easily, but for once, he chose to bear with it, cultivate it for later. With newfound clarity of the situation and an unwavering will to live, rather than merely serve, he began to formulate plans of his own.

 Perhaps it was time to reconsider his alliances.
