Which ship from any of your fandoms is your favorite (and why)?

Given this blog I'm assuming you mean spaceship. Gonna have to be real simple for my absolute favorite and go with 2202′s Dreadnought-Class battleship. It’s just....such a perfect design.

Sketch request (no pressure): Allura and Lotor cuddle with Kova in a two person papasan.

This was a request I got when I did that Lotura sketch request day a while back. I didn’t have time then but I figured I’d do it as a warm up tonight… Unfortunately life was hectic and I didn’t get to do anything else… oh well!

Yooooooou bringing back the classics!

it honestly started with that discussion about the Garrison you reblogged a few days ago and I went ‘wait..... the fandom’s already had this conversation’. And then it was ‘ooooooh yeah. That was a while ago wasn’t it? Plenty of people weren’t here for that.’ And there was so many good discussions back in the early seasons. And good art. And good stories. And since things are naturally starting to slow down at this point, I figured ‘eh, why not? Let’s remember the fun part again’. So we’re going to do the fun part for a while. I think we could all use it.

I’ve started DOTU and my thoughts so far, two episodes in:

it’s 80s hokey, but if you’ve ever watched robotech then expect that level of hokey, and is otherwise rather nice

this is a five-episode “movie” starter. I know how to handle this, I’ve seen Gargoyles

exactly none of these seven main characters are at all like their VLD versions and I have no clue whatsoever why anyone thought they should follow along these lines

seriously, some of them are like. the opposite if their VLD versions

I, somehow, find Sven vaguely endearing

yes I Know what happens to him

how are parts of that castle still standing with the walls missing to some of those towers

nomadicism replied to your post: Man, it would be grand for Shadow Weaver to get...

I love how awful Shadow Weaver is, and I’m torn between wanting “Redeem her so I can have schadenfreude watching reactions of all the take-it-too-seriously-fans” and “some other suitable villain ending”. I think she should escape to do self-serving evil-lite another day, but I doubt that will happen. I’m assuming a sacrificial death to mirror Angela’s sacrifice (being trapped wherever).

(it got too long for an in-post reply lol)

That... is EXACTLY where I’m at, lmao. I think that any ending other than Punishment™ would elicit that particular response that would give us both life, and I’m not nearly as invested in this series as I could be, so I’m honestly down for anything other than the punishment route, whatever that may be.

Personally, I would rather she not get redeemed -- I don’t think she wants it, and I don’t think she needs it. Having a character negate their own fundamental nature just in order to make them fit in nicely and politely with the powers that be is just something that doesn’t really appeal to me in general; it can be done very well, in certain contexts, but I feel like the setup isn’t right for it to happen here. I would much rather she just be left alone, to be the utter chaotic neutral force that she is; just let her disappear from the world and live far away from everything, drinking her tea and tending to her garden also no consequences for her actions either way would completely drive certain fans insane so there’s that huge added benefit as well :D

I’m under no illusion that this will happen though, and I can definitely see a sacrificial death mirroring Angela’s, especially given her current relationship with Glimmer... which will still enable me to drink my cup of anti-tears, so I’d be completely fine with that :)

#nomadicism #actually the older i get the more i realize that i don't necessarily like 'redemption'#i like 'reformation'#slight but extremely significant difference #i absolutely do think that redemption has its place in stories -- like zuko's arc is definitely a redemption #chiyo's story in naruto (even though she is very very much one of the Good Guys) is also a redemption #(and tbh easily rivals zuko's)#(even though she's a minor character for only a handful of episodes)#orochimaru on the other hand is a reformation #he reforms his own behavior and ways of thinking for *his own benefit* and *on his own terms*#bc he recognizes that for his own good he needs to change #and not because it is demanded by the protags or Moral Goodness #<< that's what i would ideally like for shadow weaver #now that i think about it I think redemption has more to do with antiheroes and reformation more with antagonists #or villains #like there needs to be a fundamental recognition on the characters part that 'what I did is wrong and I need to make up for it'#that doesn't work for characters that don't regret what they've done BUT ALSO recognize they need to change #for themselves #and like #redemption for the most part is presented as change on the protag's terms and for the protag's benefit #you know like Very Legendary Disaster S8 where a certain previously understanding paladin was like 'You Change or You Die'#(poor Lahn)#which just doesn't feel good to me #¯\_(ツ)_/¯#... i honestly didn't mean for this to be so long lmao #i'm gonna go back to personalizing my face masks now XD

Congrats! My Dairugger XV hasn’t arrived yet and I’m starting to get anxious!

I got mine from amiami, so mine didn’t come with a sleeve. I know a local place that sells SOC in my city is gonna get the one with the slip cover.

Duh! They are product lines...

I’ve been saying for a bit - it didn’t make sense to me that DreamWorks marketing made the paladin logos. If they were assets in the show, then the logos should be in an asset library from which marketing can pull for merchandising design purposes. Then it hit me.

The paladin logos aren’t in the show. They represent product lines, which are wholly marketing.

And that’s why the EPs are pissed.

To give you some background - product lines make it easy for you to buy a certain items of a particular group of merchandise. They are packages. For example - take a Disney vacation. You want to go economy, so you choose a Value resort, which pairs you with a value dining package (quick service), and your tickets are included at a value price.

The same deal occurs with product lines for toys. Let’s say Shiro, the Guardian Spirit of the Cosmos, is your favorite character. Well, then you know that when you see his logo -

- you’re getting a Shiro toy/merchandise.

Here’s Lance’s package, where you can clearly see the product lines for each paladin -

Of course, that’s an issue for EPs who haven’t updated the series bible and want to play fast and loose with the canon. You can’t move around characters in lions for the rest of series willy nilly if Marketing has designated product lines, as designed by your out-of-date bible.

If that’s the case, then Shiro needs to be back in the show and in his lion fast - to sell toys.

...of course, I’m sure Marketing wasn’t happy when they found out Keith was gone after that, but the EPs listened. Marketing just asked for Shiro back...right?

I wouldn’t doubt that was even the reason why after Keith gets back into Black, he gets a wolf...named Cosmo.

...y’know, what Shiro was supposedly the Guardian Spirit of.

Special thanks to @nomadicism for the pictures of the toy boxes!
