The Plague
I will never get over this episode. It has so many tropes that I love and it also left me completely emotionally recked.
The best (and only) mystery shack employees as wof dragons đ
Ideas and thoughts
Wendy - Skywing
- Wendyâs family consists of skywings that adapted to live in a climate with massive forests (hence her dappled appearance)
-her entire families fire breath is much weaker than regular skywings
- much more lithe in comparison to her family
- some of her markings resemble her canon flannel shirt
Soos - Mud/Sea
- his bioluminescent scales form question marks
- his âbuckâ teeth are actually mutated rainwing fangs from very distant rainwing ancestry
I kept Soosâ coloring pretty simple because I feel like it fit him, but drawing chubby dragons is my fav thing ever so I still had a blast. And skywings are always cool so Wendy was just as fun
Fiddleford wof design!
Ideas and thoughts:
Tribe - Sandwing
- Pattern on scales resembles his young era shirt
- Scar on head is a product of the memory gun
- The rapid decline of his psyche caused physical issues (broken horns, ragged frill, torn ear, etc)
- frill is fluffy looking like his hair in the og verse
I had a bit of trouble deciding his tribe, but he very much gives me sandwing from a rural part of the continent
Setbacks.
Ig this could be considered a wip but I will probably never work on it again soooo
i don't think they realized just how earth shattering this would've been
60S WIVES ? ! ? YOUVE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME ? ! ? 2 OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. WOMEN. AND 60S/70S FASHION ? ? ? I WOULDVE EXPLODED ON THE SPOT
EVEN THE HYPOTHETICAL GOT ME TURNING INTO POP ROCKS
My friend asked me to draw Wally âwith all that assâ and I think I delivered
(I got this pose from piss.net on TikTok. They make some really cool stuff, I 100% recommend)
Not people saying âFandom has always been like thisâ in that vent post I made. No. It hasnât always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktokâŚ.then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.
We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zinesâŚbut it was never like this.
The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced âcontentâ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.
Fandoms didnât die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didnât mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasnât this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.
Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all itâs fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.
There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesnât make you stressed and is still fun.
Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.
We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.
I hate when peoples one critique of the owl house is the pacing. The pacing is obviously going to be bad the show was canceled. It's not Dana and her teams fault. They literally could do nothing about that. If you're gonna critique the owl house for the love of God find something other than the pacing.
