So, Riddle's OB Groovy came out and I was talking to @avionvadion about it and I was going over why Riddle's OB Groovy looks like that and I realized something really cool.
The OB cards are the REVERSE of the OG Villain arcs.
Lemme explain!
Disney Villains usually in their story arcs have a massive high point where they seemingly get EVERYTHING they want before they lose all that carefully laid planning and composure that they've had for most of the movie. Usually that breakdown in the third act is what directly leads to their death because they've become so blinded by their emotions and pride and drive, they become so reckless that they get themselves trapped or killed.
That's what the overblot is for each of the OB boys. It's that reckless emotional breakdown that kills the villains and that's why the OB is fatal when someone overblots. That's also why Vil's Phantom looks like the Evil Queen's Hag form, Jamil's looks like Jafar's genie form, Azul's looks like Ursula's Ruler of the Ocean form, and Malleus's looks like Maleficent's dragon form. Those are the forms those villains DIED in (If you haven't seen the Return of Jafar, Jafar does die in that movie and he is in his genie/djinn form).
However, the GROOVIES are based on the HIGH POINTS where the Villain has seemingly gotten or is about to get everything they WANT.
And that's freaking clever because we know that, except for Malleus, these card images are after they've faced themselves in their personal Abyss and seen the worst parts of themselves. Malleus, meanwhile, had to face the worst of himself by what happened to Lilia and realizing he'd done that to Lilia. In short, by accepting all parts of themselves, including the parts they don't like or want to acknowledge, the OB boys are going to be able to one day achieve everything they want.
We know this because it's already started to happen for Idia. One of Idia's big dreams as a child was to be a hero. Thanks to Malleus's Overblot, Idia has achieved that. While Silver did most of the fighting against Malleus, he did technically lose. Idia's the one who magically directed the sword and broke Malleus's horn off, stopping Malleus's rampage. While he may not get the credit for it, he did stop Malleus when Silver got knocked down. It might not a big, flashy achievement full of accolades, but it was stepping up and being a hero when Silver and Sebek couldn't do it. So, he did reach that dream.
Idia's the first to start achieving his goals, but the OB Groovies are showing that the OB boys, while it may not be in the way they THOUGHT, will achieve their goals eventually. It's gonna come because they've already hit rock bottom by overblotting.
The only way for them to go now is up.
angst? nahhh who would do such a thing- me. I will.

some yume art trades too!! Its probably the only way for me to draw other characters ahahah + comissions below. Its still disney, so
~ Kalim just can’t let go.
Jamil and Kalim make me SICK. The complexity of their dynamic, the contrast between their characters, everything about them is beautiful and tragic in the best way possible. I adore them, and felt I rarely draw them. I’m considering drawing some Vil x Rook or Riddle x Floyd next, but can’t be too sure.
I relate to Kalim, I also wouldn’t be able to let go of such a beautiful man.

Mayumi's reactions to the overblots probably.
Also i fuckin love the filipino language, esp when i use it to curse and panic and complain ? so,,, yea mayumi also uses filipino to say her secrets out loud, talk abt people badly to their face, etc. She probably smiles while roasting someone so they dont suspect anything lmao
Translation: WITH THAT BEAUTY, YOU'RE STILL JEALOUS ??? WHAT ABOUT US POTATOES ??? DO WE HAVE NO CHANCE ???
(Notice how her hair gets subtly longer with each overblot ? Yeah, that was on purpose and definitely not because I was getting lazy and my finger was getting tired)
