Happy Birthday To My Very Good Friend @toothpaste-dragon / @gadzooksgalore !! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 I'm Hoping

And YES, more than half of these tropes fit Discord, that's why I cannot shake this scrunkly even 10+ years later...

(Especially since I really love the headcanons that say Discord was an artifically created being/homunculus... it's not canon but... it's not not canon either)

Some of my favorite tropes!

(just for the heck of it)

Character who starts out as an antagonist/villain and goes through a redemption arc

^ The above, but after they are redeemed, they still struggle to integrate in with 'the good guys' and have a long road of earning the trust of others

Homunculus/artificially created being who is misunderstood by others/longs to understand humanity

^ Especially when they are good but were created by someone evil

As an alternative take, a homunculus/artificially created being who was made by someone very good and struggles to live up to their creator's light

A very hard to get along with/seemingly jerk-y character who is actually extremely loving and sensitive deep down, and it shows around the people they trust

Siblings who are mirrors of the other (what they might be, could have been, and wish they were), who understand each other more deeply than anyone else but struggle to reconcile themselves to one another

Villains/antagonists who give the hero a terrible time but are actually really kind and considerate to their own associates (has a found family with all of their henchmen, has really good healthcare benefits and perks for their workers, is able to upkeep positive relationships and is actually respected)

I love seeing other people's ocs and getting snippets of their stories like oh my gosh there's a whole world and narrative in your head that I'm getting a small glimpse into isn't that so cool????

what i need is a devout knight

I figured out the world of screen capture, and I decided to get back into making videos! Follow the link to watch the full video (it is about 20 minutes in its entirety, and in it I work on a new comic and give tips and tricks for starting your own web comic)! Check out my comic, 'Slices of Gremlin', on Webtoon!

Last song 🎧: I really love End of the Line by Traveling Wilburys lately, so I've been listening to that one a lot! (Thanks to the Sonic 3 movie for sticking it in my mind lol)

Favorite Color 🎨 : Purple (specifically light purple)!

Last Book 📕: I've been reading The Way of the Fearless Writer by Beth Kempton (I got it from the library)! It has some really good principles in it, and I've been enjoying it, even though I don't fully agree with the author's philosophy

Last Movie 🍿: Howl's Moving Castle!

Last TV show 📺 : I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I had watched a TV series, I had to go back in my journal app to see that it was September when I binge-watched some episodes of The Addams Family

Sweet/Spicy/flavory 🍔 : I like sweet and savory, and I think I can go one way or the other depending on my mood, but I don't like spicy!

Current obsession 🌀 : I've been having a lot of fun playing through Sonic Frontiers!

Last thing I searched 🔎 : I'm not sure honestly, haha!

Looking forward to 👀 : Hmm... I would say scrapbooking with a good friend next week! We have made a goal to get together at the end of every month this year and make a scrapbook spread for the month, so I'm hopeful we will get to finish our goal!

10 peeps to tag and/or get to know better: I'm not sure who to tag, so anyone who sees this post and is a mutual of mine can do this if they would like!

I decided to partake in this current song trend, where people are making animations/animatics to this song (Porque te Vas)! This song fits Witherspoon and his brother Dimi (from my project Wellwishers) so well. 💖

A fun little dose of make believe, featuring a cameo from the little fairy stand-in of my friend @toothpaste-dragon! I hope you enjoyed this week's installment of 'Slices of Gremlin'!
