I know that the reason Battle Bond Greninja looks like Ash specifically is because Game Freak was lazy and they wanted to reuse the design that generated all that hype for Greninja in the first place, but I like to think that every time you battle with Ash-Greninja, somewhere far, far away, Ash is in unimaginable pain and he has no idea why.
Zero the vulture. LOL the other one looked a lot lke Rouge but not sure if managed ot represemt the species I wanted. Now...
looks pretty cool, seems like a vulture with all the need deatils wihtou feeling overdone, but maybe some dont recognize Zero/Infinite ar first glance.
Tell me please, would you assume this is a vertion of Infinite as a brib if didnt got the dage??
This is the first time ever I'm posting on tumblr. I need to find a way to keep the quality of the image as it is. This is a sketch of a drawing I'm making of Infinite the Jackal. I will be posting the finished one soon๐
SUBTLE: giving looks, brushing hands, little comments that could be mistaken for an innocent compliment
PLAYFUL: lighthearted teasing & banter, exaggerated reaction, poking fun at behaviours, playful shoves, feigned offense, "Oh, you think you're funny, do you?"
SUGGESTIVE: straightforward, complimenting looks, casual physical touch, dirty jokes, expressing desire, "We could always sneak out somewhere quieter."
ROMANTIC: head over heals, thoughtful gestures, blushing, classically romantic gestures (holding doors, holding an umbrella, bringing coffee in the morning), "My soul knows yours from another lifetime and calls for yours in this one too."
ANXIOUS: freaking out over every text and interaction, discussing every move with their friends,
BOLD: direct, no subtly, relationships always labelled, "I've really liked being around you. Could I maybe take you on a date sometime?"
SHY: nervous, insecure, showing no interest until they are sure the other is interested, fidgeting, daydreaming about what could be if they had the courage to confess, using excuses to be close to them, "Um... you look really good today."
CARETAKING: acts of service, protectiveness, checking in, bringing snacks, offering jacket, fixing things, walking them home, "Brought you coffee; it's still warm."
CASUAL & INTENSE: platonic flirting with no further intentions, way over the top at times, effortless, fun, teasing, maybe eventually leading to more, "You look great, please break my back and reshape my inner organs."

โHe was angry.โ โ Useless.
โHe clenched his fists.โ โ Overused.
โHe yelled.โ โ Meh.
Anger is not just being a loud, raging a*s. It's a physical sensation. It hijacks your body first. It's tight, it's sharp, and it overheats, and if left unattended to, it boils uncontrollably. One or two generic sensory cues will not capture that feeling.
Hereโs how to actually show it. Reblog if you want more of these.
THE BODY LANGUAGE OF ANGER!!!!
Voice:
โข Volume rises
โข Or drops dangerously low

โข Forced or humorless laughs
โข Voice cracks under pressure/emotion
โข Long pauses
โI saidโdonโt touch it.โ
โWow. No. Thatโs not what I meant.โ
โSay that again.โ
โYou think this is funny?โ
Tip: Em dashes are great for suddenโviolent speech. For my Dell laptop homies, that's "Ctrl" + "-" + Windows Key.
Eyes:
โข Hard, unblinking stare
โข Narrowed eyes
โข Brows drawn down and together
โข Focus locks onto target; tunnel vision

โข Knuckles whiten
โข Hands shake subtly
โข Gripping objects too tightly (cups, fabric, steering wheel)

โข Neck stiffens
โข Body leans forward aggressively
โข Chest tight, guarded
โข Pacing short, fast steps

Breathing:
โข Breaths shallow and fast
โข Flaring nostrils
โข Sharp inhales, explosive exhales
โข Breath held too long between words
โข Audible breathing during silence
โข Huffed breaths through the nose
INTERNAL STUFF (these are important too)
โข Heat rising in face, neck, ears
โข Pulse thudding in temples
โข Skin prickling or buzzing
โข Tunnel hearing
โข Thoughts loop or sharpen obsessively
โข Urge to do somethingโanything
โข Body feels too big or too tight
โข Words feel dangerous in the mouth
THE AFTERMATH OF ANGER
โข Hands ache afterward
โข Jaw soreness or headache

โข Replay of the moment
โข Short temper lingers

Not all anger is explosive. Some characters restrain it, others let it... well, explode.
Take what I've shown you, now give it a spin that's unique to your character. That's how you'll write something memorable.
This post was proudly written without generative AI. If you liked my post, a small Ko-fi tip would mean a lot. It helps me post consistently.
I feel like people who make Bruce a bad Dad (and also a bad grandpa) to make Dick and Jason Damianโs dad and everyone elseโs (for some stupid fucking reason) are in the same group as people who make Sonic the Hedgehog a bad parent
There was an influx of shadow and sonic fan kids, and in almost all of them, he was the shittiest dad on the planet. Like, he raised Tails, why would he be a bad dad????
Theyโre also the people who make Sonic so incredibly stupid that you wonder how heโs even still alive. Itโs flanderization, Iโm telling you. They're massacring his character
They make him so stupid, especially around Shadow. I get it, Shadow is the fan favorite, but Sonic is incompetent and isnโt going to automatically lose to Shadow every time. Itโs so annoying how you canโt find anything good about Sonic anymore that sticks to his true character
Sonic is smart. Compared to Tails, who is a child genius, it may not look like it to those who are only looking surface deep, but he's incredibly smart, and no one treats him like he is. In modern or high school au's, they'll make him hate reading and get all F's, when he canonically loves reading and traveling and has all this knowledge from his adventures
One of my favorite tags for Sonic is 'Sonic the Hedgehog speaks Japanese,' because it's a really cool headcannon. Additionally, Sonic the Hedgehog is selectively mute and uses sign language as a nod to when Sonic didn't speak. It's super cool and interesting and super underutilized by the fandom
And I know itโs for shipping purposes, I ship Sonic and Shadow too, but why is Sonic the only one getting his character skewed? Is it because heโs the happy-go-lucky one, and people project too much onto Shadow, therefore not really understanding his character and taking every bad trait he has as a slight to themselves; therefore, making them refuse to let Shadow have any bad traits, so they donโt feel attacked??? That only leaves one person in the relationship to project all the bad traits on
Shadow has flaws, Sonic has flaws, Bruce has flaws, and Dick has flaws
I think people self-project too much nowadays. No, I know people so. You are not this character, and this character is not you. Nobody knows you, no offense, but you're not important to this character in any way
This is an excuse for me to rant about Sonic. Thereโs more to say, but I wonโt
