Not related to your HoM drawing prompts but you seem to know more abt XS than me so if you could spare some time to answer this, it'd be deeply appreciated <33

So recently, I researched abt Shen Gong Wu for my writing & came across the Rio Reverso. In-canon, it turned oil into a dinosaur. If this Wu was used on the Nomicon, do you think it could inadvertently yoink First out of it?

(Also just. Imagine the sheer CHAOS this scenario would unleash regardless of How it happened. Randy & First are tweaking out and Randy is like 'okay so everyone you know is gone BUT that applies to enemies too, minus the sorcerer so it's cool, right? right??' meanwhile in the Citadel, Chase's pupils are blown WIDE OPEN.)

Always a pleasure to receive an ask about Ninja Showdown!! <3<3

Believe it or not I actually gave a thought about the same thing! (fic idea lol) Rio Reverso does seem like a Wu for this, though from my understanding it returns things into their initial form literally, so Ninjanomicon as a book would be reverted to something like paper or a tree I suppose? If we consider it can break a thing into its original components, it might be even several objects, like - paper, twine, leather, ink and etc. While it theoretically could yank First's soul and give it a body (like it did to dino), I like to think that Rio Reverse can't do it to more complex being like humans.

Alternatively, may I direct your attention to Wu that canonically gave a ghost physical form: Serpent's Tail + Reversing Mirror combo that returned Wuya's body! Tho, considering that First Ninja is not (technically?) a ghost, but rather a consciousness that ascended into another plain of existence, we can say that we would need a combination of all 3 Wu:

Rio Reverse - to break Ninjanomicon down to its basic components (of which First Ninja's consciousness/spirit is one).

Serpent's Tail + Reversing Mirror - to give the First Ninja 'component' (which basically would be a ghost/spirit i suppose?) its physical body with ALL its attributes and powers back.

And ASKDFJasdjdfsakljdsfa YEAAAA the results of this would be world-shattering to both First and Chase, but in WILDLY different ways. And of course Randy. Cause you know. Also? Ninjanomicon would be kinda dead? So that... would NOT be good either? xD

Tesla the Wraith

For Ace Trigun Week - Prompt 2: Pride / Wearing the Colors [IMG ID / A young woman with shoulder-length blond hair wearing leather-belted pants, a black shirt, heavy boots and a purple coat holds a modified Colt .45 and stands against a sky of night waning into morning in black, purple and white fade. Her left eye glows blue, the other side of her face is covered in an eyepatch. Digital painting done in Corel Photo Paint / END IMG ID] This doubles for Ace Trigun Week and as a gift-art / fanart of fanfic for @somereaderinblue / GeminiWillow on Ao3. This is an illustration for the excellent Purple Hyacinth fanfiction series. The series is an alternate universe in which Tesla and Vash trade roles, as do a few other characters - as a result, Tesla was born with Nai / Knives and has become a protector of Humanity on Noman's Land, wearing a purple coat in the memory of Luida Leitner and her favorite flower, the purple hyacinth. Tesla is explicitly asexual in this fanfiction-set, as well.

What would TaroTre be like at a PTA meeting?

I see Taro as being more involved in these than Tregear. Taro’s used to talking with people and can often ease over any tension. If we’re talking about a version of Tregear that never fell to darkness he’s obviously going to be less talkative and will likely let Taro smooth things over. If we’re talking about post fall, he’d be much better at inserting himself into these types of conversations but ultimately still not one for niceties unless it explicitly benefits him.

In regards to being Taiga’s parents in general, Taro’s more of the silly parent with gentle lessons but overall more protective whereas Tregear, while more lenient is surprisingly also more disciplinary when Taiga does things he shouldn’t in the way you’d be with a little dog, all, “Why did you do this? You knew (xyz) was going to happen.”

Some days, I'm functioning like a normal human being.

Then I remember how USM introduced us the Spider Slayers only to (unfortunately, tragically and very very unfairly) kill them off 3 eps later. We all thought they were gonna pull a batfam (re: found family) but nope.

Am I the only one still griping at what could've been?

That would've been awesome if they kept the Spider Slayers around, they were gone too soon. It would've been interesting having them around, learning how to be independent outside Hydra and their conditioning. Also, throw a little existential crisis in there while we're at it. I loved how we touched on Ben's feelings about finding out he's a clone. I wanted to see how the rest of the Spider Slayers reacted to that information, too.

Draw your characters like this.

Cool detail I noticed while scrolling through your Chase Young art for the nth time is how you have 2 ways of drawing his armour, one is more cartoon compliant & the other is more detailed (i.e. extra shoulder pad + intricate details on torso), which is super cool.

What's your inspo for the latter?

If I am completely honest, mostly a lot of random historical and fantasy armour references from searches or pinterest, along these lines:

(not these specifically but those were just very cool ;) )

Whenever I get artist envy for artstyles and wanna look up references I just scroll through pages until I absorb enough to imagine my own variation. xD (Unfortunately I am not a very dedicated researcher haha.)

It kind of happened on accident, mostly because I despise Chase's armour. Loath it. Like no joke. I draw it, but every time, if I dare to spend too much thinking about it, I want to tear my hair out. And it kind of hit me, that I just can... not draw it, haha. So I started to slip into a more realistic armour style (I love giving him shiny scales on sides, like those medieval fantasy armour cosplayers do for chainmail).

I mean, have you really looked at it?? His shoulder pads make no goddamn sense?? I think they literally break his shoulders. And where the fuck do they attach even??? And his arm and leg braces?! LITERALLY METAL FUCKING TUBES Do they close around his body like those thick metal bracelets?? And his chest plate, or more like BODY plate! Does he slither into it like a snake, or does it clasp on too?? And don't tell me 'magic', this mofo clearly can take his clothes off normally too, we've seen his goddamn danger undies. I want to cry and laugh, it makes me so mad.

I know it's just a stylistic choice for cartoon, and usually I wouldn't care, but the more I drew it, the more it started to pain me. xD

Am I the only one who wishes USM Harry kept the symbiote and was let onto the team sooner?

Dude that would've been SOMETHING. Though, depending on where we are in the series, Harry is going to need to go through some MAJOR therapy with the symbiote to get even close to a healthy relationship with it. NGL I was super excited when he became Anti-Venom. It felt like a fun little arc for his character.

He started out using Venom, being controlled by Venom, having a very toxic relationship with Venom, to getting a symbiote that purges the symbiote from your body completely. IDK something about it just tickles my brain.

For the toku show asks, how about Ultraman Blazar?

Favourite hero: blazar and gento fucking RULE i love them . all of skard is awesome but of course i like blazar and gento the best. the plurality of it all

Favourite non-transforming character: have to give props to my objectum king Yasunobu

Favourite suit: there are a lot of really fantastic kaiju suits in this one but i think my favorite is the rainbow one .. nijikagachi..... its really pretty

Favourite robot: my buddy earth garon wins by being the only robot. but also i like him i wish we'd gotten a little more of him hes not really involved as a character often even though he is 100% a sapient AI

Favourite song: WIIIIITH ME BLAZAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favourite episode: super tough question. i feel like every episode of blazar was a home run in some manner. that being said i am a huge zangill fan. so probably his episodes

Any fun headcanons: since zangill came back briefly in arc id like to believe that he and blazar hung out at least once after the events of blazars show. theyre buddies in my heart
