Happy Holidays from my OC Rose Gold to all of you. Wishing you the best! π€ππ
I haven't watched much of the G5 series, but I wanted to try my hand at an Opaline Arcana redesign!

I got tagged by @minamorsart and it looked really fun, thanks bestie! π€π©·
(These aren't in any specific order btw)
I'm always too shy to tag people, so if you see this and want to do it, you're tagged. ππ
π₯π§ Ember and Wade π§π₯
(I call them Wember, but if there's a more popular ship name for them, pls let me know xD)
HAPPY ELEMENTAL PREMIERE DAY! Though it sadly isn't coming to my country for another week ;_: But that's only making me build up more hype for this movie than I already had, so I REALLY wanted to include these two in my ongoing 4 ship challenge, even though no one requested them xD
I stepped way out of my comfort zone with this piece as you can see, and I'm honestly so happy with how it ended up looking! Hope you guys will enjoy <3

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! π We've really come full circle since last year's Huntlow V-Day fanart. π₯Ήπ€§
I couldn't agree more with this take.
The Agni Kai between Ozai and Zuko was one of the smartest, best additions to the show. I see people complaining about Zuko "fighting back", as though that's a bad thing or takes away the victimhood of his situation.
Zuko is prepared to fight someone else. Then his dad steps in. There's already a ton of pressure, and now confusion overwhelms, because wth why would he fight his dad and HOW. He doesn't want to fight him. But this Agni Kai's point is for honor, to prove himself to him, and a) he is firstly DEFENDING himself from his dad who is the one who starts fighting him hard. (throwing fire at him?? Hello??? Is he just supposed to take it??) b) don't you think Ozai would think worse of him if he didn't do anything at all? And don't you think Zuko takes that in consideration pretty quickly as his dad attacks him?
It's clear Ozai will fight. Now Zuko looks confused and scared during the fight, rightfully so, and he tries to figure out how far this will go. My wife keeps saying that he is sparring (and that y'all don't know about sparring, lol), and that doesn't mean you have to hurt your opponent, not the way Ozai intends. Zuko engages defensively, and then fights his father, hoping that's enough to show him that's he's good at this, that he's skilled. It doesn't have to go as far as Ozai takes it, it COULD just be sparring. Zuko COULD jusy try to show him what he's learned and hope his dad is pleased enough. Isn't that what he keeps trying to do anyway? Get his approval? Both he and Azula. Unfortunately, we know that's impossible.
The unfolding of this Agni Kai drives home the cruelty of Ozai in an even more intense way to me. Because no matter how well Zuko fights, it's not about skills, it's about how far he's willing to go, that's what Ozai is judging. The mentality behind it. Zuko isn't willing to hurt his father when he could, he holds back! That is his "weakness". And the way Ozai punishes this by doing what Zuko refused to do - burning Zuko where Zuko could've burned Ozai - that is a horrible reminder of this "failure" to go far enough, and the consequences it entails.
Zuko's scar now isn't just random placement, it has meaning behind it beyond the basic cruelty of Ozai hurting his child. It directly references Zuko's "weakness". Ozai showing him how it's done directly on his face, serving as a constant reminder that he couldn't be the strong one, so he got hurt by the one who was willing to be.
The sequence of Zuko holding back and Ozai NOT holding back but purposefully pausing and choosing to punish him this way was mind-blowing. Such a powerful, terrifying moment that makes Ozai feel even crueler than in the OG.
I don't think Zuko not engaging in the OG is bad at all, it virtually gets the same result; but I also don't think it's bad for him to decide to engage. It doesn't take away anything from the point, for me, the way it plays out in the live action takes it further. It examplifies Zuko and Ozai's relationship and Zuko's efforts - never enough - perfectly.
πΈπ Rainbow Blitz
This Blitz was for my commission sheet examples, but I'm posting him solo because I think I have a little artblock again, but I don't want the algorithm to think I'm dead. π I wanted to give him his own post eventually anyway, I really like how he turned out :D
This design is by an artist friend of mine who I think most of the fandom knows, Orin331 (he asked me not to directly link his page π ). Only the outfit is my design.
If you like my art, please consider getting a commission! All prices and info are in my profile's pinned post. Hope you all have a wonderful day. π
I honestly do not know how well Tumblr receives OCxCanon, but for some reason, this drawing felt like a good one to start with :')
To those not in the know, this is my Marvel OC Roxanne Brooks, superhero alias Seda. You can learn more about her on my Twitter and Instagram accounts that I have dedicated to her (and this ship), both @/OC_RoBrooks. Also see tons of cute drawings of her and Bucky being in luv.
I might delete this later :X

HAPPY WICKED PREMIERE DAY! Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to finally watch this. This has been my most anticipated movie of the year and I can't believe it's finally here! What we've seen so far already looks amazing and I already know I'll just love it >w< It's gonna be so hard to wait a year for part two, but I'm hyped for that one too haha!
I of course had to draw the best witches to celebrate. The details were so fun to make. <3
OOF Okay guys hear me out, call me crazy or flaky or anything you'd like but, I think I'm changing my mind & actually starting to feel more hyped for Thunderbolts* now??
Like IDK maybe it's cause I've had time to think it over, and how the Doomsday announcement has basically confirmed that none of them (even Sentry) will die, but as a MEGA Bucky fan, I think this could be his best MCU project yet!
Like I know the dynamics are going to amazing between all of these guys, and Bucky will probably realize the leadership he's always had in him, both within the team and as a Congressman, which all just sounds like SUCH amazing choices for his character development.
I think I'll actually go see this one in theaters. Very hyped to see my pookie once again. π€©π₯°
