[KAKIYA] --> Re-Introduction

-> You're uh... A little nervous to be here, even tho you've been here before. But it doesn't seem like many people remember you. Which you WERE okay with, but God decided to screw you over and push you back out into the spotlight! So... Here goes nothing! Your name is KAKIYA HIROSE and well... You're just kind of here. -> You're a DIGITAL ARTIST who's done a whole host of COMMISSIONS throughout your career, taking on anything and everything, even tho there's certain things that make you vastly UNCOMFORTABLE to draw. But oh well, you do need the money after all. You're not in the best financial situation anyways, even if you are a Tealblood. -> You're uh.... Not into a lot of things honestly. DRAWING and COSPLAY are kind of your only two genuine hobbies. You could say you're also a COLLECTOR, but uh... That's embarrassing for you to talk about, and really only your MOIRAIL and her MATESPRITE know what you enjoy collecting.

Venoshock: The Story So Far

Hey everybody. Guess it’s been a while since I dusted off this blog and answered questions. It’s good to see some familiar faces, but now is as good a time as any to refresh everyone on how I got here and introduce myself to anyone new to this blog. 

My name is Chandler, and once upon a year or two ago I was a man and Pokemon trainer. I competed in the Pokemon League (quarterfinalist, baby!) with my team.

Behind the scenes, I wasn’t doing so hot. I was an alcoholic and smoker, for starters, but I was also hooked on a new aerosol-based drug called Venoshock. V.S. was derived from the pheromones of salazzle, a particularly alluring pokemon known for its ability to drive most males mad with lust, and it did a wonderful job of making me feel like I was on cloud 9 whenever I took a spray.

After competing in the last Pokemon League Championship, I took my team to train in a remote part of the Hoenn Region. While Venoshocking, I stumbled upon a MASSIVE moon stone, and that must have set off some funko reaction, because as soon as I touched it I was transformed into a freaking salazzle! (Perhaps a fitting demise for my pheromone huffing habit.)

Since then, I’ve been learning to adjust to my dramatic shift in biology with the help of the Pokemon who were once my team (now best friends) and we do our best to get by in this crazy mess of a situation. I’ve even gotten into something of a romantic relationship with my Flygon, Bugsy. (I know, I know-- Crazy!)

And that’s all you really need to know about me! If you have any questions for a human male turned female fire lizard, feel free to shoot them in my ask box.

If you’d like to chat more about my peculiar circumstances, there is also a Discord. https://discord.gg/wj8Aj9Rp

Hey guys!

You like videogames?

You like RPGs specifically?

Do you like...

LIZARDMEN?!

Well guess what? Ever since I started streaming back in 2020 I haven’t really stopped, and managed to get a lot of great stuff for the stream, I feel really proud of my growth over the last couple of years, and I’m looking to do even better in the future!

So if you’d like to hang out with your friendly neighborhood lizardman, check out my twitch patch at

https://twitch.tv/rumongray

My schedule is basically every other day, typically starting around 2AM PST and going for at least three hours, with longer streams starting around 10 or 11 PM PST on Monday and/or Tuesday nights!

I like to focus primarily on RPGs since they’re kinda my forte, though I might branch out into other stuff every now and then; randomizers, retro games, watching videos ABOUT video games sometimes? You bet’cha!

And with Twitter doing a bit of an implosion, I figured I’d re-introduce myself here! So check me out if you’re interested! I’m going to try and be a bit more active here as best as I can be. :D

(OH, and if you wanna read some of my writing, you can find it at https://kenpaisworkshop.tumblr.com ) (NOTE! NSFW writing can be found there, so 18+ only please!

Did Danny abuse the fact the GIW needed his parents tech. Yes of course. Danny not phantom seemed to be the trouble maker as of late. His parent threatened to withhold tech and blue prints from them if the GIW touched their kids.

Did he get caught breaking ember and boxy out of a government facility? yes. He expected the lecture he got.

The next jail break. It was not him. It was sam, Then the third. Also not him. That was Val… then it was Tucker. But not him.

The blame fell on him.

He did not expect to be shipped out of state. The GIW were happy to cover all costs. Even got him into a decent highschool. And had an apartment all arranged.

Gotham?

Not where he was expecting.

The assassination attempts. Also surprising.

Not so surprising. Tucker found out the GIW wanted to “silence” him. Offering a lot of money.

Of course his parents don’t listen. He is 15 perfectly fine to be all alone. Even if he is near some place with the nickname crime alley. Nope. He is just being dramatic. They tell him no one wants him dead.

This will be a pinned post for new followers sooooooooooo

Welcome to my Tumblr Blog! I had been on this site for over a decade now and I'll lay out the ground works.

I do the arts (which is now being hosted on @evacharatarts)

I make a shit ton of fanime (which, updates on those had been hosted on @gissyfanime)

I also have other types of projects, like Visual novels, an audio drama, and an RPG Maker Game.

My Hyper-fixations are Di Gi Charat, Azumanga Daioh, Homestar Runner, and Super Mario RPG.

I tend to voice act a good amount. That said, I am still an armature, lol. It's why I go for non-profit projects mostly.

I had been using the internet during the AOL days but I had not had an account of my own until Nick.Com in 2003. (anyone remembers THAT?)

I have a site that is hosted on Neocities!! ^^

In relation to that, check out the Gissy Project Recommendation Randomizer if you want a recommendation but don't know what to ask for. ^^ (Collab projects also included.)

Aaaaand that's all she wrote; have a good day! ^^

Welp, had to delete my account b/c something was wrong with it (^～^;)ゞ (wouldn't let me post anything for some reason (-_-;))

But been awhile, made some drawings, and I will share some with you all soon 😉

Hope you all have a good evening/day

Bye, Bye 👋✨

Posuka Demizu's second artwork for Norman's birthday 21/3/24 (first)

in your most recent tyson post, you said something about leo being distinctly autistic-coded and I was wondering if you could elaborate on that? it sounds really interesting (sorry if you've already posted something on this, I couldn't find anything though)

Of course! I do have a specific tag for talking about Leo's autistic-coding/traits - [here], and [one for Nico as well].

The main aspects with Leo being autistic-coded actually have a lot to do with Nico being autistic-coded, because it's the comparisons between the two that most clearly indicate Leo is autistic-coded rather than it just being his ADHD or etc.

So with Nico being autistic-coded, it's very clear in the Titan's Curse that he's intended to be autistic. First, the first series has a repeating pattern of secondary characters being very distinctly neurodivergent-coded in different ways (Annabeth's adhd/dyslexia, Tyson's down syndrome-coding, Nico's autism-coding). With Nico's introduction, he's pretty stereotypically autistic and we're given a lot of descriptors about him that are notably not attributed to him being ADHD, like it would be for other demigod characters. He doesn't register social cues such as people getting annoyed at him, he's asking/making inappropriate or impolite questions/comments, he gets particularly upset about change (such as Bianca joining the Hunt) and generally gets emotional, and one of his most notable traits he's introduced with is the fact that he has a special interest (MythoMagic) - and we're shown that this special interest particularly colors how Nico navigates the world. While ADHD has hyperfixations, we don't really get much acknowledgement of hyperfixations with demigods usually - Annabeth gets a little, but most others don't and it's not nearly as focused-in on as Nico's is.

Then as the series continues we see these traits stick with him and him start to show or voice more traits that similarly indicate he's autistic: He regularly mentions how he doesn't understand living people and prefers the company of the dead (social issues). He has more notable stims than other demigods (twisting his ring, fiddling with bones, etc). He's indicated to have strong sensory preferences (usually wearing mostly black/aversion to bright colors, usually wearing layers/his coat, multiple times he's described as wearing loose/baggy clothing or clothes too big for him). He has specific comfort items (his ring, likely his jacket(s) as well). We later get even more information about his special interests (Mythomagic/mythology/history and an older interest in pirates - the latter he specifically notes likely heavily influenced his feelings towards Percy). He struggles with emotions and facial expressions and tone. He struggles particularly with ostracism and feeling like he doesn't fit in and has something distinctly different about him from the people around him (who notably, all have ADHD, which indicates it isn't the ADHD that's making him feel that way), and other characters regularly describe him as being off-putting because of his strange behaviors - again, different from specific ADHD traits they recognize. And that last point is kind of notable because we have Hazel and Bianca for comparison - we know people are off-put by both Nico and Hazel because of being children of Hades/Pluto and their powers/aura, but other characters get past that general feeling of discomfort way faster with Hazel. And even after characters get past the death stuff with Nico, there's a second thing that they aren't moving past that isn't a factor with Hazel (Nico's autism).

So that brings us to Leo - Leo is paralleled to Nico a lot. And there's some very specific traits about him that we know are autistic-coding because of how they're used with Nico: He similarly struggles with social cues/etc, and in a very similar parallel to Nico describes how he prefers the company of machines to people because machines make more sense to him. He has similar types of clothing/sensory preferences (again some stuff with layers but also - pockets! He likes having pockets and things to put stuff in! He's even introduced as having a jacket with lots of pockets), and he has a distinct special interest (machinery) that we specifically know heavily influences how he views and navigates the world (constantly comparing things to machinery, describing things with machinery metaphors/terminology, etc etc). He even describes his entire general worldview to Hazel and it's a machine metaphor. He also similarly struggles with ostracization like Nico does, the only difference being that Leo specifically puts on a persona to compensate for areas he knows he's lacking in and very explicitly describes it as a means to make people like him, because without it he normally struggles to fit in (He's masking!). We also see notes of characters describing that similar discomfort with Leo's behaviors that they do with Nico, except without the aura of death this time. And when we're in Leo's POVs we see a very stark difference between his masking and his actual personality/behaviors such as his internal dialogues or how he behaves when he's alone. Also, like Nico, he stims more than other demigods, though for Leo it's more attributed to his ADHD. Leo also, more often than most, similarly struggles with tone and reading the room, such as making misplaced jokes/comments or etc.

But yeah! It's really interesting. Also it's just a fun thing that ADHD/dyslexia and autism have comorbidity, so it makes sense that we see demigods who are also autistic. It's also really fun to look at how other characters are coded in the series, what coding looks like in the riordanverse specifically (usually it's tied into the mythological stuff - like Chiron being in a wheelchair but he's actually a centaur, Grover being introduced as having a muscular disease but he's actually a satyr, demigods having adhd/dyslexia, Tyson being coded as having down syndrome but he's a cyclops, etc etc - it's a lot of specific metaphor stuff that I've talked about a bit before), and to look at how characters are compared to one another.

okkkk i watched the first episode of hazbin hotel and i think it has a lot of missed potential. there are actually quite a few goods - the animation for the most part is nice, the voice acting is great (especially keith david as the cat thing), and the songs are alright. the show brings up interesting concepts but the main problem is that it doesn't really execute them in an interesting way, mainly due to the way the characters are written.

every character - with the exception of alastor, charlie and nifty - has a generally "vulgar" personality, ranging from that being a primary trait to basically the entire character (based on the 1st episode alone). they're all written in a similar way, which means that character interactions are very basic funnyman/straightman endeavors with little variation - angel dust says something dumb and vaggie chatises him, or angel dust says something sexual and husk chatises him. that formula basically extends to most if not all of their interactions so far, so the dynamics between characters are similar and frankly uninteresting. angel dust especially (i really don't like him sorry) is so far just a vessel for sexual jokes, and we don't really get anything from his character other than "he's horny", which isn't really good for your first episode imo. the language the characters use is also similar so there's little humorous contrast. there aren't really "jokes" with setup and payoff - just characters saying and doing out of pocket things.

the worst example of this is with the angels, particularly adam. i think that the angel with him (lute i think?) would actually serve his purpose in the story better based on her character - somewhat regal, orderly, but most importantly uses a completely different language to the devils. this sort of contrast would've been way more interesting imo - have the angels be holier-than-thou (quite literally), talk charlie down, make her feel less than or even like a "sinner" - which would be cool because as far as i can tell charlie tries her best to be as good as possible! that would be a unique way to bring out her angry side but instead adam just acts like any other devil, even worse than them, and maybe that's on purpose but i don't think it's very cool...... it would be fun to play off the watcher's preconceived notions and ideas on angels and devils after establishing how charlie deviates from the norm, maybe even having the angels be like "wow you lashing out proves devils are all evil", but now i'm rambling...

other than that, i think the story introduces its main plot points too early. give the concept some time to breathe and establish itself before dropping the bombshell that the extermination is to be 6 months early, damn,,, but i'd have to watch every episode to give an opinion on how they handle that, which i likely won't do. i have some small nitpicks, like the weird lack of buildup to most songs and the kind of weird pacing, but in short, based on the first episode, it's just a compilation of missed opportunities and edgy swear-humor offset by some genuinely interesting and good ideas. this isn't a review of the entire series, by the way - just a "initial thoughts" thing. if you really are interested in the concept, i'd say give it a chance, but please be aware of the creator's actions before you support it monetarily. (i watched the first episode through other means as i genuinely dislike the creator due to her bigotry, of which others have described more eloquently than me - it's very easy to find "call-outs" and critiques of her actions). 4/10, where is verblase :/

Absolute Force Chapter 7:Re-introduction(part 2)

REBRAND COMPLETE!!!

Hello everyone! I promise I’ll go back to positing Kh after this but I want to announce I’ve changed what I go by and have rebranded my blog! Formerly known as VeraVera or something of the like, I go by Melody or Mel now! Yippee! I even drew myself a new header so enjoy looking at that for the time being!

It’s Roxas and Xion in a stained glass style piece as a sort of homage to Days, one of my fav games in the KH series!

After this I’m going back to the regular posting. Have some new P!KH3 designs that I’m almost finished with, plz look forward to it!

Hey so also have Sir Crocodile brainrot and have recently reread Impel Down. This is probably nothing at all but it made me question the artistic choice made. Like we dont see Crocodiles full face until Luffy recognizes him. Before that tho he joins in on Jinbei & Ace's convo about Whitebeard and is shown to (non-)react to Boa Hancocks visit. But we only get his face in shadows or see the hook. Which. Why. Oda we know what he looks like and who the guy with the stitches on his face and the hook is. WHY OBSCURE HIM.

My friend, this is what we call a "cocktease"

Okay jokes aside, yes it was an artistic choise. More specifically, a storytelling technique Oda masterfully used to build up hype and excitement to Crocodile's eventual reveal and re-introduction into the story.

So thanks to Ms Goldenweek's cover story (which ran back during Water 7/Enies Lobby) we already knew Crocodile along with Daz, Bon-chan and Galdino had all been sent to Impel Down, when we also learned about Impel Down, Marineford and the Gates of Justice (+ the giant whirlpool between the three locations) to some extent. ((Now of course, if you were an anime-only then you would've had no idea about the former BW members being in Impel Down. And even if you had read the manga you still would've had to actually pay attention to the cover story and its lore, and not forgotten all about it))

So even before Luffy decides he's going to head to Impel Down to save Ace, we know Crocodile's going to be somewhere down there. The second Luffy arrives there, we are immidiately reminded of the fact when Domino mentions Crocodile taking the traditional "bath" new inmates take at the entrance. And as we descend deeper and deeper into Impel Down, with those cuts to what's happening down at Level 6 every now and then, as well as with the Baroque Works Countdown, Oda time and time again keeps on reminding of us of Crocodile's looming presence in the background. This is all absolutely deliberate. Crocodile was arguably the most iconic (maybe not most popular but iconic) One Piece villian at the time, if given an opportunity of course the readers wanted to see him again. But just letting us see him right away would be anti-climactic, and distracting from what's actually important (Ace, and Luffy getting to him as fast as possible). So keeping him hidden could serve multiple purposes:

For one, Crocodile doesn't get to steal the spotlight from the other characters (at least not too early). We can focus on Luffy, Ace, all the new Impel Down characters and the other returning characters in peace, while Crocodile waits for his turn. Another thing is that Crocodile's presence being downplayed gives off the impression that perhaps him being there isn't that important to the story. Thus, him teaming up with Luffy to break out isn't such an obvious twist (and so when that happens, it's ever more hype as a result)

But indeed, the most important part is that by teasing us constantly through out Impel Down, Oda creates hype. He makes us the readers excited if/when we might get to see the bastard, even if it was just a quick little cameo. So when Luffy finally reaches Level 6 and we finally do get that reveal, everyone loses their fucking marbles over the HISASHIBURI DANA MUGIWARA when we finally get to see The Motherfucker Himself. (And indeed, then getting to see him fight alongside Luffy is cool as fucking hell, completely unexpected and absolutely delightful)

But there's also another thing building up to Crocodile's reveal does. Compare his original introduction to the re-introduction

Compare Crocodile at the height of his power and influence, to the absolute rock bottom he has hit. No longer happily laughing while looking down on people (literally), he's filthy, he has given up on life, with sunken eyes and a hollow look on his face, only moved by a thirst for petty revenge (/an opportunity to go out with a bang). He doesn't even get the whole page for his grand reveal anymore, he's been shuffled to the side so the plot can progress on the same page.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

And to some degree, this is kind of meant to be a shocking realization to the readers. That this is not the same Crocodile we remember from Alabasta, that Crocodile died when Luffy defeated him. This is just the husk that remains, a shadow of what was once there. It's a sad sight, and probably not what the readers who loved Crocodile The Villian wanted to see. It's not the epic Return of the (Evil) King they wanted. And that juxtaposition helps, because Crocodile doesn't return into the story as a villian, but as a frenemy/ally-on-thin-ice. And that idea is easier to signal to the readers in a lowkey manner when you do his re-introduction like this.

So yes, Oda refusing to show Crocodile's face until Luffy found him was 100% a deliberate artistic choise. This is fantastic storytelling
