Throwback to this piece I made in 2022. At the time, it was my only rendered illustration. Now it's one (1) of two (2) B)

Arcane animators self referencing!

This animator got to use his son for young Ekko's reference and it's so damn sweet!!

Imagine acting up this incredibly heart-wrenching scene in your lounge to a rolled up sock on a bag... They gave it their all too!

This scene's acting fidelity is incredible! Especially the shakiness of Ekko's movement to punch Jinx...

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

[transmasc-wizard]

highlights of the responses:

the solid hundred americans saying "idk general american". i dont know what that is so im gonna pretend you mean "I sound like a disney channel character"

shoutout to whoever said "gay". also whoever said "autism".

to those curious; 'newfoundland' accents are what everyone i know says to refer to the stereotypical "canadian accent" that bad american TV has, 'cause you're basically only gonna hear that in a random fishing town on the Maritimes' coast.

the fact that almost every french person called their accent sexy

all my fellow canadians who are saying "canadian but i dONT SOUND NEWFIE" like yes babe we are not all One Single Fishing Town Accent (no hate to the newfies tho ily)

the one who said "i sound like siri. i have no accent" meanwhile siri is So Fucking Accented to my ears

the amount of people with english as a second language in the notes who now love their accents <3 that's great, love urself

everyone going "i'm TOLD i sound british. please not that"

the one person who described their accent instead of just saying a word. they happened to be canadian and i was like "you just. absolutely and totally described how i talk"

the amount of californians going "californian but i dONT SOUND SURFER OR VALLEY GIRL" like the US version of "im not newfie"

the one single californian who was like "yeah i sound surfer. what are u gonna do about it"

For the longest time, my brain seemed to latch on to a seemingly meaningless detail in Arcane. I noticed there were always a lot of sharp objects - mostly hooks - surrounding Vander in ep1 and ep3, and wondered why, or if it meant anything...

I guess now we know.

when you see me say stuff like "yeah doctors make me mad sometimes but they deal with a lot of bullshit too so not everything is their fault" this is what I'm referring to. thank you to the doctors who will send the authorization back as many times as it takes

#i wish all insurance companies a very die

[tsinraianelf]

Man, insurance companies are absolute bullshit.

I've had so many issues with my insurance trying to deny me my meds, claiming I can receive them from in-network sources when I can't. (I've been through this 4 times with them now) I wouldn't be able to get these meds if it weren't for my doctors and even the CEO of the company who makes those meds fighting so hard with insurance for me to get them.

Insurance also likes to refuse to cover my labs because they're "not medically necessary"...Nah, I just go get poked with needles for funsies. /s Hate it.

Well, he could stand and walk normally. That was a relief. He continued to lead him forward gently and with a soft expression. The hybrid clearly wasn’t happy to be there with either of them, but hopefully he could at least somewhat convey to him that they truly did mean him no harm if he just continued to be kind and gentle.

As they entered the main hospital area, Sam was relieved to see that word had been passed along for the doctors to remove their white coats. They were taken to an examination room, and the nurse began by checking for vitals. She took a temperature stick and held it towards him. “Can you open your mouth, please?” she asked, then demonstrating by opening her own. As she was doing that, she placed a pulse monitor on one of his fingers with her other hand, “That’s just going to let us see how your pulse is. It won’t be on too long. Don’t worry.”

Sam meanwhile sat and watched, wondering how much of this was familiar to him. If he was an experiment, they had to have done tests like this regularly, and he had to be an experiment. How else would a being like him have been created than by experimentation? The real question was what else did they do besides the usual vital tests? He had a feeling he probably wouldn’t like the answer.

This was….different. The tests were the same as usual….but different? These people, they smelled like The White Coats, but….where….were their coats? Had they…removed them for some reason? Was it the reason? 

It’s ears perked slightly at the nurse, before flattening and it huffed, letting her stick the themometer in it’s mouth and the pulse monitor on a finger. It was used to this. It was also used to the high number that read out on the monitor, though it was likely that the others in the room were….not. The numbers were always high, at least that’s what it assumed. They were always…big. Pulse was always a big number. As was the little stick that they stuck in it’s mouth.

It ran hotter than a person. It’s heart beat faster. It took more breaths. It was….used to all this. Perhaps these people did things just a tad differently, but the results were always the same. Do what they tell it, and then it’ll be stuck back in the cage. Where it could sleep.

……

It wanted to go back to sleep…..

[tsinraianelf]

The nurse stared at the monitor in surprise, unsure how to react to the numbers she was seeing. “...I...suppose it makes sense for his vitals to look different. He’s clearly not fully human...I hope those numbers are normal for him. I can really only guess that they are...Maybe a vet would know better.”

She decided to move on and continue with examining him. She checked his eyes, his ears, his mouth, reflexes...standard tests. She also moved his limbs some and put pressure on various parts of his body, watching for any reactions of pain. The amount of scars on him didn’t escape her notice as she examined him, and she frowned, “How’d you get all these, sweetie?...I don’t see any major injuries on you right now, at least. Just some scrapes and bruises. Minor stuff...You could certainly use some nourishment too. I can tell by looking at you that you’re underweight...Other than that though, you appear to be in good health...assuming your vitals were normal.”

“Considering what the rest of the place I found him in looked like...and the condition the people there were in, I consider that a miracle that he came out of it with only some bruises,” Sam commented with a relieved sigh, “It’s good to know I was worried for nothing. So are we good to go then?”

“Yup!”

“Great,” he gave the hybrid a smile as he headed for the door again, motioning for him to come too, “You hear that? We’re all done. Now we can go get that food I promised you! How’s steak sound?...You’re part canine, so I assume you’d like that.”
