if you like strawberry shortcake or care bears, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion’s website! she never got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day.
she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died— until in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of strawberry shortcake, care bears, and the get along gang. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) she inspires me so much as an artist! it would mean a lot if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!
Spoilers for Danganronpa 1 below
Okay so what most people assume is that all three of them had kids with Aoi and Toko killed herself because of the fact that Byakuya had a kid with someone else, but i actually think that Byakuya's child is Toko's!
My reasoning is that the two other children have the exact same facial expression as their father in the picture but Byakuya's kid has the same expression as Toko, also i feel like him even agreeing to hold her picture shows a great improvement of their relation from the killing game + Togami being the first to be close enough to Aoi to have a child with her would be weird as well since during the killing game they really weren't on good terms.
So yeah, tell me how you feel about it ^^
genderbent vento aureo fanart i did last year
join me in my ramblings and talk about akane ! for the analysis thingy
Akane's openess is what always strikes me about her character. Truly nothing is off limits and she just tells it like it is. I find that really admirable and also reflected in everything about her, from her design to her expressions to the way she speaks, she's just very open and like. Objective? I also find it cool how akane's backstory informs her character. It doesn't come out of nowhere and you can really see why she does the things she does. ALSO it's FASCINATING to me that she doesn't like actually give any single damn about her talent? Like not in a Leon way where she actively hates it and wants to be something else it's just like not that important to her. That's something that i think is really necessary for balance in a dr cast (and it's also another reason shes foils with nagito 👀) and for that matter i think that element allows her to compare and contrast well with the other characters and particularly the survivors. Akane cares about what she finds important, and what she finds important is a lot more practical and straightforward than the other characters because of her life. Her down to Earthness really stands out and is pretty critical for such a colorful cast. I think it's notable that akane's color scheme and design is a lot more similar to something you'd see in thh, a game that's overall aesthetic is more like. Based in reality? (As based in reality as dr gets anyways) and i think that describes her well. She's more connected to reality than the other characters in a really visceral way even with her intense strength and heightened senses she still has limits and that really frustrates her, she's not all knowing or superhuman. She's just a person who uses her skills to help her get by in whatever way she can.
yeah
some 'tales from memory
✴ unlikely (or very likely) duo ✴
hello? is anybody there?
Gaara is truly the Character of All Time
-Introduced as main antagonist in a tournament arc, the terrifying bloodthirsty ninja from a strange desert village who kills without remorse and has survived every mission without getting a scratch on him
-He's 12
-Character design 10/10 he has bright fucking brick red hair, literal raccoon eyes, a face tattoo that says "Love" and carries that weird ass gourd; between the fun elements and the interesting tie-ins to Tanuki Lore, I have never seen a more charming design in my life tbqh
-Immediately more emo and chuuni than Noted Emo Heartthrob Sasuke Uchiha by virtue of reciting weird poetry after killing a guy in cold blood
-We get his tragic backstory and by fucking GOD is it sad. I cry just thinking about it. Literally everything about it is just horrible and devastating.
-Talk No Jutsu at end of the tournament arc, Gaara realizes that he should, in fact, go to therapy and immediately decides to turn his life around
-The first thing he decides to do is apologize to his siblings <3
-Shows up a handful of arcs later with a cool new outfit and becomes friends with the kid he literally tried to murder and nearly permanently crippled in one of the best fights of the entire series
-Liam O Brian's English dub of Gaara is Stellar ya know what. The raspiness of the original appearance morphing into the Deepest Voice That Any Kid Has Ever Had Ever was a genuinely hilarious choice
-Has the only good filler arcs in the old show; he's such a good character that the entire show molds itself and rises to meet him
-Post timeskip he is Desert Ninja President at the ripe old age of 15 and is extremely good at it because he's the weirdest little nerd with no social skills (on account of his tragic backstory) and diligently applies himself to doing paperwork and going to meetings
-Has a fanclub in the village mostly of girls his own age that he never seems to talk to?? Or realize have crushes on him?? Oblivious king we love him.
-Dies in one of the most genuinely moving scenes. Comes back like 20 episodes of fighting later because where would we be without him honestly?
-Becomes Super General Ninja President of the Grand Army of whatever where he accomplishes such feats as forgiving his asshole father and emotionally healing from his childhood trauma, stopping a meteor, and nearly dying a second time.
-Collects cacti as a hobby
-Has the only good sequel series arc where it's revealed that in addition to continuing to serve as Desert Ninja President, he's decided to adopt a couple of orphan ninja kids so that he can break the cycle of parental neglect and stupidity that created his tragic backstory in the first place.
