The AI typing thing was the last straw. Yesterday, I installed Fedora. I am now microsoft-free.

I rewatched Cosmic Fury recently and something dawned on me: I don't think Zedd knows Ollie's name. He only ever calls him "child", "boy", or "BOOOOOY". Some of the other villains address him by name, but never Zedd.

hey anon! you've stumbled onto some head canons I've held in for a while! just a disclaimer 🙈

I think there is something so cool behind that dialogue choice because it happened so frequently and consistently that we can definitely draw some character intentions from it. This provides such a fun contrast between Zedd and Zordon as mentors to a human ranger team.

Zordon will always catch flack from me for creating a team of child soldiers 😂 but in narrative, he's shown to be a very caring father-figure. He imparts wisdom and concern for his team. Between him and Alpha, there's a functional nuclear family. Whereas Zedd is running a dysfunctional content house with this new adoptive son he doesn't know what to do with.

It's a toss up whether Zedd genuinely did not know Ollie's name, despite knowing his other lackeys and henchmen, or whether he called Ollie by diminutive names intentionally. Heck, even Rita knew the name of the evil ranger she created. Either way, it could speak towards a power play. It's Zedd's way to impose a power hierarchy between them even though he actually treated Ollie really well.

We also know that throughout the seasons, Ollie is mostly raised by single mother/amazing genius, Lani Akana. Lord Zedd fills this spot for a father figure in Ollie's life and even though he was brainwashed to be evil, we still saw Ollie vying for Zedd's approval and trying so hard to make him proud. Even when Ollie failed, Zedd says he sees potential in Ollie and encourages him to embrace his inner darkness. All of that dynamic rounds out at the end where good!Ollie makes his plea with Zedd to not release the Zedd Wave and Zedd eventually concedes.

(Also that scene where Ollie provides Zedd with Zayto's location. Zedd tells Scrozzle to "give the boy his present" like okay Zedd you definitely prepared that WELL beforehand. He is 100% someone who shoves gifts at their child as a form of parenting.)

It was just incredibly fun to see despite only catching glimpses of their dynamic.

I did it. I’m freaking out over the price, but I finally ordered a (used) printer scanner from Amazon JP & a small light board. 

I’ll be back up to full art producing capabilities soon. I intend to F I N A L L Y clear up all the old art I owe (trust me, if I owe you something, trade or commission, I absolutely know and remember. But if you want to send me a note as a reminder, feel free). After that’s all cleared, I want to start taking commission work =u=b

realizing I'm in a state where I'm highly experimental with my art and hopping from one fandom to another. none of it is digestible or easy to parse. and certainly difficult to articulate let alone film and present in an easy, marketable way. I'm allowing myself and my art to sit in that unease and amorphous state for the time being, bc this is a transition period! it's not an art block but rather me meeting my craft with a joy to discover and play. it feels like the wrong capitalist move for my social media brand and presence but good for the soul
