I thought to myself “I won’t hear the end of it if I draw Mia for the anniversary. I already drew Felix and Mia for the zine, might as well draw Isaac since it is his day and all that.”

Should have counted on you two :P

It kind of looks like "handsome squidward" from that one episode of spongebob where squidward gets his face smashed.

Oh god, now I can’t unsee it.

I would like to be optimistic and hope that they had something cool planned out, but honestly I think the reveal of Dark Adepts and Dark Psynergy was just supposed to be an exciting twist. Unnecessary, in my opinion! Just exploring the fallout from the Golden Sun would have been interesting, or even the introduction of an ancient doomsday machine that utilized one of the other elements. How Lemuria dealt with the new age! The rebuilding of Prox! And in DD as is, there

are a ton of other things that could be covered, like why the world has ruptured into a ton of different levels and what the heck is up with the Psynergy vortexes.

I've seen people talk about how the Apollo Lens, a weapon of concentrated light, could be potentially be dangerous if used for other purposes than shutting down Eclipse Tower, so if they go "Light is not inherently good", they could build off that.

Every element was dangerous and none were inherently good or evil in the original games, and it’d be an improvement if they framed light and dark that way, but they’d have to debunk ‘light is inherently holy, and in its absence, darkness is inherently evil’ after it was reinforced by Isaac, Kraden, Himi, and all kinds of little details like the NPC in Morgal who mentioned something along the lines of how they were a mean person and the eclipse monsters seemed to be avoiding them. #.#

Mmm there are so many things they could have covered. And it was interesting to see the alchemy machines combining the elements, since they were supposed to be the building blocks for all of life, so it follows that you could... build things by throwing them together, and surpass what could be done with single-element psynergy. the shape of the planet seems to be one of those core parts of the series that’s still building up to a big twist, and i want gs4+ so much... tho a part of me is still wincing in anticipation of any more wallbangers.

Whoever your favorite DD character is for the meme

That’d be... Karis.

1: sexuality headcanon - bibibi.

2: otp - Sveta. Also okay with Tyrell, but Sveta’s better.

3: brotp - Matthew.

4: notp - Matthew and Amiti. Matthew mostly bc I’ve know a lot of annoying Dawnshippers, Amiti because I’m baffled by how popular that was right after the game came out.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - She wanted to be able to Mind Read before she realised what a burden it was on her father.

6: one way in which I relate to this character - I’m also kinda bossy tbh.

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - All those times she and the rest of the gang did exactly what the villains wanted even though it was EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that they were being manipulated.8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - Cinnamon roll.

If they made a Disney Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game, who would you want to be the marriage candidates?

That would be be the best thing ever! 

My choices would be Hercules, the Beast, Shang, Naveen, Eugene and Aladdin’s dad, Cassim for guys. And Jasmine, Mulan, Moana, Rapunzel and Anna for girls.

5?

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

I think Destiel and Johnlock, probably. Johnlock more so. I found a lot of the Destiel rhetoric creepily fetishizing, particularly of the actors, and a lot of the Johnlock rhetoric was based around ace/arophobic ideas (eg he’s not into women so by default he’s into men, etc.). I don’t have any issue with either ship as a concept, but I have a lot of problems with how both of them are talked about.

[thecolourofsunrise]

Bayonetta?

1: sexuality headcanon - She’s very bi.

2: otp - Jeanne, of course.

3: brotp - Also Jeanne, but excluding her I’d go with Luka.

4: notp - I’ve seen other people shipping her with Luka and Loki and NOPE, especially Loki.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - The only thing that’s really popping into my head is “SHE AND JEANNE ARE MARRIED”.

6: one way in which I relate to this character - I’m also pretty good with kids despite being annoyed with them a lot.

7: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - Well, I mean, every time she’s doing something naughty on screen I get embarrassed.8: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? -  Bit of both, I guess.

The (implied?) massacre caused by the eclipse really disturbed me when I first played the game. And I agree with you that the light/dark dichotomy is weird and forced, especially after the first two games.

            lethalneuroses

Like, the introduction of dark Adepts (and presumably they have light counterparts) was never explained. What sort of powers even go with darkness? If it's related to cold, is Mercury more aligned with it? And, come on, dark Adepts might as well just be introduced as evil Adepts.

          sailortentacle

I mean I've seen speculation that part 4 would subvert our expectations of light and dark, which I could buy. Though, we may never know...

Gotta hope they make it less heavyhanded somehow, bc ‘dark is evil’ and ‘these are dark adepts’ is just... yeah. It’s hard to see how they could build anything fun off of that massacre without retconning something.

And yeeah, ‘cold is evil’ and ‘warm is good’ are so weird. Mia and her mainly ice powers are more evil-aligned than the proxian warriors who went on a rampage with fire Psynergy? The ‘evil desert’ was plenty hot and bright. And considering Alex is seen using water / Ply / warping (which looks like maybe a vapour-based power, if it’s the Mercury equivalent of Sand), and probably inherited similar powers to Mia (so that ice comes more naturally than water), looks like he’s actively gravitating towards the warmer side of his element, and he went after the light of all lights, so... thematic consistency? Where is it going?
