#how does that work

[tazzomi]

I couldn't figure out what to draw for content smp for ages BUT WE BACK WITH MY SHAYLA MY WIFE MY LOVE (who is dead) and the several people mourning her 🥰🥰🥰

Full images and frame by itself below cut :D (and below that is a little blurb on the details I like)

So firstly with Rat its the most (I don't have favorites shhh) He's got Lux's goggles as well as a shift in style to more needs based with a bag, hair pulled up, gloves, and a bandage + eye bags thrown on to hint at some of the heightened struggle since Lux was gone. His pose is referencing the inspiration with the hand dragging but that is also specifically Rat not letting go of Lux while trying to move forward (into the rising sunlight) His face is specificlly visible because he's attempting to move forward (even if only barely) and is wanting to continue on in honor of Lux/for Lux. Same meaning with the light being a morning a new day, potential and all that.

For Fundy its more simple, this is new information, he's only just shown up, this is the first image he's seen of his sister since he lost her and he is distraught and ofc who can blame him. he's crying reaching out for her despite it only being an image. Fundy is covering his face, hiding from the reality intentionally or not, although its not set in stone he's facing closer towards the setting sun, towards the night, and away from progress in his distress. With his head in his hands and the low light you couldn't be able to tell for sure if the sun is rising or setting without the context of Rat and Winsweep's pieces.

And finally Winsweep, he is facing definitively away from the "camera" he's frozen in a stiff pose rejecting mourning where the others are accepting it (more or less). He's also stiff in style, acting as tho he is unchanged by the loss he remains in his nearly comical vest and clothes. He's hiding himself from the shame and he's in the dark in several ways. Firstly its night time and secondly even the light from the moon doesn't hit his face, additionally he's hiding Lux's face from view as he portrays the version of her he wants to remember and wants back. A version not seen in the portrait/painting/photo of Lux.

Lastly Lux's portrait, I think she was truly happiest with Rat and Astron at the cabin. She was welcomed not as a tool for the first time by them and so that's the portrait that remains of her. The small bit of true unhindered joy she had between her hair going white and her losing her arm. So of course Rat and Astron would want to immortalize the image of her when the remember her best, when she was happy and as free as anyone on the server could be.

okay maybe that was a lot but I have lots of thoughts sorry besties <3

Completely forgot about this interview and I’m dying.

One of Kishi's ideas at de-aging characters is, like

[the-real-list-of-ominous-threats]

I’m gonna limit the university years you can go through to get a bachelor to 5. If you go above that amount of years, you are no longer financable.

That’s how it works in Belgium.

WHAT THAT’S SO SCARY

[greenekangaroo]

Me And My-

Having one's redstone blow up is bad.

Having one's redstone blow up in company is worse.

Having one's redstone blow up so badly that they and said company fall into a previously-unmapped cave that tumbles all the way down to deepslate is Not Ideal.

Watching that company sit up, shake his head, look at his hand in utter bewilderment and then look at you, his previously blue eyes edge to edge black, and says, "Well shit, Doc, you knocked me loose!" is- certainly something.

"...apologies?" Doc asks cautiously, torches set down and sword out because they can both hear the mobs spawning in the dark.

"I mean it's weird," the Skizz who isn't Skizz says, getting out his own sword and swinging it expertly in his right hand (isn't Skizz left handed?) "and it's definitely not good- NOOTCH!"

The SWIS darts out and comes back into the torchlight in a single lunge, and Doc sees the puff of particles that indicates a dead mob.

"-caus' it means we got hurt enough to respawn and didn't respawn," SWIS concludes. "and that doesn't happen a lot."

Doc watches his friend carefully as he widens their torch safety area.

"It's you." He says, remembering a thousand half-finished mutterings, a seemingly never ending stream of 'it's a good idea, no, yes, I'm doing it, no I'm nots' . Strange, sure, but easy to get used to as Impulse had promised, just 'Skizz being Skizz'.

There was apparently an asterisk at the end of that description.

SWIS grins a little too wide, his teeth a little too white and perhaps it's just Doc's imagination but they look sharp. "It's-a me!" he says in a passing attempt at Super Mario.

"Shadow." Doc says.

It was right there. It's been right there, the entire time. Skizz hadn't been being fanciful or vague. 'I'm trying to communicate better with Shadow'.

Not 'my' Shadow.

Shadow.

"That's my name don't wear it out- CREEPER-!" Shadow lunges past Doc in a viperfast move, knocking the creeper clear before it can blow and create one of the chain reactions in Doc's own body that are so damnably inconvenient. He shakes the green mossy goo off his sword. "Weird. Usually Skizz'd be back by now. Or Impulse would be yelling. Let's get upstairs again and see what we can do about that, yeah?"

"Yes," Doc murmurs, already thinking, already planning, already trying to figure out how he's going to phrase more than a few things to Impulse Esvey, the sneak. "Let's."

Do you think callum is probably straight?

The "is it because you're with a girl" line from s1 ezran makes me think so, but the "consider everyone bi" from the creators makes me scared to actually say anything about it

I 100% believe Callum is straight.

Ezran was a child yeah but he knows his brother enough to know being alone with a girl would be important.

Not only for that line‚ the "I don't understand girls" also comes to me as a straight guy quote lmao. I'm pretty sure Callum was written right off the bat as an heterosexual guy.

Another reason I believe so it's because his crush on Claudia. I have always believed one of the reasons for it to be was because Claudia was the only girl around who was his age (or close to.) Aaronj also said his crush on her was very superficial as well.

Having very good queer rep and being accepted in Xadia/TDP doesn't mean they will get rid of straight characters. In fact a guy like Callum (artistic‚ expressive‚ emotional‚ etc) being straight is actually good.

The "consider everyone bi" was something Aaron said mentioning Devon saying this. It was a joke in an interview that some people (mostly Twitter mob) took it too seriously because they are allergic to the very big possibility of their faves being straight and anything a writer says has to be canon even tho they are normal people with their own headcanons as well and it's not like Aaron is always joking or anything haha nooo but whatever. I was also told by a friend Devon confirmed it as her headcanon on a hot morning brown potion podcast.

It was mentioned on a deleted (?) tweet that Janai and Amaya are lesbians and in an interview that there are "non straight" characters on the show so yeah not everyone is bi‚ which it's good because diversity doesn't work that way lmao. Aparently they need to take everything from interviews seriously if it fits their narrative tho I understand if some people are confused about it and believe this to be canon. I think the stament was also to avoid shipping wars (actually made some things worse.)

If people want to headcanon him or any other characters with a queer identity that's totally fine‚ while I don't like stereotypes ("Callum is bi because he's a nice flamboyant guy etc") I understand people wanting to see themselves on the characters‚ I just have a problem when they want to push it as canon. I get your hesitation because fandoms can be really mean and obsessive when it comes to sexualities but TDP's being smaller shouldn't make it a big problem. Just block away if someone gets annoying.

The everyone is bi also falls flat when you have a character like Lujanne having plus four male love interests. (I know some bi people have only dated or may only date in their entire life the opposite gender you get me.) I think asuming she's heterosexual would be pretty safe.

At the end of the day hardly anyone from TDP has a canon confirmed sexuality so it's okay really. I actually do love this and have never been a fan of confirming sexualities outside canon material. Plus Callum and Rayla only have eyes for each other so it's not like Callum being bi would matter much imo, he wouldn't give bat an eye at some handsome dude if he was. He has never shown interest on men and he never will (or any other woman who isn't Rayla.)

I believe Xadia works like the real world but excluding queerphobia because the concept of a world being queer accepting just because everyone is doesn't sit right with me. In paper it makes sense but I don't think it's a good message.
