(I saw a post for #FatHeroDay and I'm 100% about any excuse to show off my chubby babes! On the left is Karma, my BnHA original character, and on the right is Etzil, my original character from a Pathfinder campaign! They both also happen to be non-binary and fit on the asexual spectrum. I love them very, very much. <3)

Hey Etzil, why do you love Explodoman so much. It's a terrible movie franchise like so bad. just why

…Who is this? Is this Teliri? We’ve talked about this several times! You know I only appreciate the first movie when taking into consideration its target audience as well as it’s technical accomplishments! The fifth movie also broke through the mold as an interesting and compelling experimental animated narrative. I’m not arguing that either of those films are perfect, I only defend them against the accusation that they are terrible movies in and of themselves with no value to contribute to the series! I do agree that the sequels (aside from the fifth movie) were painfully obvious cash grabs that do absolutely no favors for the franchise as a whole (and have rather unsettling and lazy plots and relationships), but I feel it’s necessary as a critic, fan, and developing content creator(!!!) to appreciate where works succeed and point out where they clearly don’t! That is the only way to promote positive and continual growth in the animation industry!!!I’m sorry about all of the exclamations points and very heated discussion, I just feel very passionately about this subject! If you are, in fact, Teliri (and I suspect you are based on your vehement distaste towards the franchise and what seems to be an attempt at “getting my goat”), you are probably aware of that. If you are not Teliri, then I apologize for being so blunt with you, and I hope we can have more productive discussions on this topic if you’re interested!

Etzil

Yuan-ti sea sorcerer, level 5, I actually drew this one

Etzil was born to a powerful family of yuan-ti sorcerers. A powerful enough family that they had no use for an heir who isn’t even a halfblood. He was cast into the sea, and brought up on to a human vessel. A coastal temple to Calseaus took him in. He continued to live there as a follower of Calseaus until [enter plot hook here, he isn’t in an active campaign at this moment]

They continued to sip the drink as they followed. Tucking wings close as they passed counters. “How many othersss are there? Are they all Aviansss?” The tilted their head, listening to some sound the ship made, “Curious. What sort of planet are we going to?”

“Oh, certainly not. I am, of course, but my friends here are of all different peoples. You’ll meet all of them when we get to the bridge. And if you think I’m being ‘too trusting,’ which is the vibe I’m getting off you, then know that you’ve been being watched this entire time.  Tori, you can show yourself, sweetie.” 

Reptilian coils dangle down from the ceiling beams, and lean, muscular body follows. Standing on its hind legs in front of Etzil and Windweaver is a draconic creature, its emerald green scales dotted with red and yellow. 

“Etzil, I’d like you to meet my covert ops specialist, Notori. An actual effing dragon. Found her hiding out in the engine when I got the ship.”   

“As for the planet,” Notori interrupted, her tail swishing back and forth. “It’s a Stargazer-controlled world, on which a certain friend of ours has been imprisoned.”

They reached for the thermos and added the cream to the warm drink. They hold the cup for a moment longer. Then lifting it up to their face, they sip it through a slit of a mouth. “Cautious. We would like to go down with you.”

“Well, then, come on. Let’s get to the bridge.” Windweaver waved the being forward, walking towards the door herself. “It’s this way. I’ll introduce you to the others when we get there.”

“We can follow you after… where is the cream?” they had taken a cup, holding it carefully, almost as if they felt they might brake it.

“Right over there, in the little silver thermos.” Windweaver pulls a compass from her pocket, and opens it. It projects a little map with the ship’s current position. “We’re currently a few hours out from our destination. Would you like to come with me and Rafflesia to the surface?”

“Dismissive. It was... not scary. The opponent was actually fairly simple. But...” they shuddered looking ill for a moment and reached for the wall, “sssimple but ssso very ssstrong. We don’t know how we beat it.” Green eyes look back to the coffee pot, “Isss that done yet?” An obvious mood shift. All looks of discomfort gone.

“Should be just about right, yeah.  Give it just a second to cool.”

[weavin-winds]

“Our foe...” wings twitched, it was hard to tell from what emotion and they give the coffee pot a hard stare, “Our foe wasss the RUIN. A long hard battle we fought, so no one elsse would have to. But it seems...” A pause, and they look to Windweaver, “It ssseemsss that our enemy lived on in other worldsss. For that, we are sorry.”

“I have heard the stories of the Ruin..I can’t imagine what it was like, fighting it up close. The most I have faced was a crystalline monster in the heart of an erchius mine. If I can be of any assistance, any at all, please, let me know.”
