My farmer Vic is a veteran and fought for a few years in the Gotoro-Ferngill war. I always thought he and Kent would kinda gravitate toward each other, being the only war veterans in town and all that. Kent didn't know that Vic was a fellow veteran when he introduced himself, he heard about it later from Sam. And when he asked if Sam knew what faction or rank Vic was Sam responded with "I think he mentioned it had something to do with explosives" and Kent went "ah, beret squad" because in the ferngill army specialists wear berets with their uniform and other factions, especially the infantry, semi mockingly call them the beret squad. Jodi just went "please don't start calling him that"
And then the next sunday Vic and Kent ran into each other at Pierre's and Kent immediately went "hey, beret squad". Vic just saluted him and said "corporal".
They don't talk about the war much since it's not exactly a fun topic, but they both always had a mutual, silent understanding between them. They definiely use more army lingo around each other.
Then one night Vic went to the stardrop saloon to relax after a hard day of work and ended up sitting with Kent. The night went from some light drinking and talking to getting a lot more drunk than either intended and laughing about funny service stories. I think after enough drinks and in a company that Kent can truly relate to he starts to loosen up more. The other patrons were a bit surprised at seeing Kent be this upbeat. Eventually they went outside for a smoke and started to get a bit more sentimental about all the friends they've lost and what war really is like. They sat in silence for a bit listening to the crickets and sharing a bottle before Vic stood up and poured one out to their fellow fallen soldiers. Kent didn't say anything about it but he appreciated the gesture.
They sang a few army songs, probably a bit too loudly, before deciding to head home. Vic walked with Kent to his place. Jodi woke up to them arriving (they were a but too drunk to be subtle about it despite their efforts) and she didn't trust Vic to be able to get home all by himself, even though he insisted he was fine. But she didn't budge and woke up Sam to make sure he gets home safely. Sam complied but while walking Vic home he was like "isn't it weird that you're my friend and you're also partying with my dad?" And Vic was like "no I'm old enough to be your dad" and Sam went "Vic you're 10 years older than me. No you're not."
Sorry to all the followers I suddenly got from making bully content because I might get back to drawing my stardew valley farmer oc again. (Don't worry I'm not abandoning Crow)

Danny, talking to Batman as Phantom: Trust me, I'm the least of your worries when it comes to my fraid in Gotham.
Bruce, narrowing his eyes while trying to figure out the threat: How so?
Danny: My sister is a huge fan of Har-sorry-Dr. Quinn's works and is inspired to go down a path as her as a psychologist. She's also one bad thing away from happening from also following down her path as a mad doctor.
Danny: My parents believe that you, your sidekicks, and your rogue gallery are all ghosts of some kind and want to capture you for experiments or tear you apart. And trust me, it is not fun.
Bruce, now worried: Wait-
Danny, still going: One of my friends is obsessed with plants and justice for the ecosystem. And when she got possesed by Undergrowth, she gained some powers to back it up. She also looks up to Poison Ivy and would definitely join her at the drop of the hat if she was asked. That, and Gotham is pretty much heaven on Earth for her. It had goth in the name!
Danny: My other friend is obsessed with technology and Oracle. He compliments your passwords and firewalls frequently. Calls them an exercise to make sure he hasn't lost his touch.
Bruce: Hang on-
Danny: But don't get me started on Wayne Industries. If he was here, he would've broken in and stolen all the tech for himself.
Danny: Dani might not stay long, but even if she did, she will cause trouble. Whether it's a few fights or a bit of graffiti, she will do something. Especially if you tell her not to.
Danny: And Dan? Well, I know how that will go, and it won't be a good thing if he's messed with.
Bruce:.....
Danny:.....
Bruce: And....and you?
Danny: Oh, I don't really care for Gotham. The skies are full of smog that you can't see the stars at night, and I hate clowns. The only reason I'm here is because Gotham University has all the classes I wanna take.
Bruce:.....I see.
Started making it, had a break down, finished it, bon appetite
the woobification of the lords is something ill never be able to wrap my head around 😭 its insane to me how people can have such a horrible interpretation of events and characters based off of what we have in the actual game
let me start off by saying that ALL FOUR LORDS DID HORRIBLE THINGS (INCLUDING THE DIMITRESCU DAUGHTERS) !
lady dimitrescu isnt some gentle giant who only hates men and loves women and treats them like queens and she just loves living a quiet life with her daughters, she kills and tortures people 😭😭 she like actively killed her maids and drank their blood 😭 they have a basement that has so much blood in it that it goes up to ethans THIGHS
they are muderous and SADISTIC, including the daughters
the woobfication of the dimitrescu daughters is always the most confusing to me. their faces are literally covered in BLOOD 😭😭 they chase ethan around and stab him will laughing and giggling, cassandra literally calls it a HUNT, it is fun to them and they enjoy it
people always try to frame it as ethan breaking into their homes while they are scared and afraid 😭 i can assure you that nobody is afraid of him at first 😭 they dont think hes an actual threat, thats why they toy with him. and dont act like they were unaware of what he wanted. they were all present at the family meeting with miranda, they were all present when they JARRED rosemary 😭 they know what ethan wants, they know who ethan is, to frame them as "minding their own business" is the most absurd interpreation you could make of them
they were all involved, they all knew what he wanted, and they all HAD what he wanted
you can feel sympathy for lady D, when she cries for her daughters with tears in her eyes, she loved them, they were her family, but you cannot deny the hypocrisy. "how can you kill my daughters for your own!" you have his daughters head in a pickle jar! her daughters werent innocent defenless babies who were scared of big ol ethan stomping around in their house, they have weapons! they wanted to hurt him, and they did, and when he fought back he won
i cannot stress enough that in every single fight, ethan is not the first to strike. he is either backed into a corner where its either his life or theirs, or he is literally being tortured/ chased around, what do you want him to do? these people have pieces of his baby, should he have lied down and died?? 😭
whenever ethan is in a situation where the other person isnt stabbing him in the abdomen 100 times he tries to HELP them 😭 he tries to help absoulute strangers of a village he doesnt even know while he knows his own daughter is missing, even when the stranger is also a jerk to him 😭 he wants allies, he isnt actively trying to make enemys, and before you cry "karl heisenberg!" im getting there...
the thing that bothers me with how people treat donna is that although she isnt the WORST she gets woobfied the MOST imo, like she is the ONLY lord (other than karl but hes a outlier because he wanted ethan to come over so they could make out on his bed) who actively lures ethan in, miss dimitrescus, yeah sure u could say that he trespassed, same with moreau, but donna literally LURES HIM IN with hallucinations of his DEAD WIFE, then OPENS THE DOOR for him and TAKES HIM DOWN THE ELEVATOR
she is literally one of the people who ACTIVELY leads him to where she is
she also uses psychological puzzles , like making ethan perform surgery on a wooden doll of his wife and making him run away from a monster that cries like a baby and calls him "dada" 😭 she did not need to do any of that... like at all 😭 she did it because she wanted to 😭 she is by no means innocent at all
she toyed with him for literally no reason other than her own desire and then ethan doesnt even intentionally kill her. he is in a situation where is his trapped in the house and has to find angie, the doll, to avoid being attacked by dolls with like 100 knives stapled onto them
its only when he defeats angie its revealed that he had actually stabbed DONNA. he didnt even intentionally kill her 😭
then moreau... poor moreau... 😭
moreau in my opinion is one of the more sympathetic lords. whoever he was in his life pre cadou has no influence or impact on his life post cadou, the cadou just wrecked his brain functions
all he is is just mirandas minion at this point, he only wants to please her and doesnt really think about anything else for himself 😭
i dont have much to say about moreau because theres not really many people who woobfiy him or pay him any attention really 😭 though i will say he was very unabashedly evil 😭 he did horrible things, such as eating the fishermen and his experiments with the cadou on the villagers, he did it for mirandas approval but its not a excuse for it, hes still a villian 😭 now we are onto karl.... this guy... the woobification of him is insane 😭 first of all, something i dont see people acknowledge is that he actually HAS killed villagers! no he doesnt just use dead bodies (which btw isnt really a step up 😭 some of u set the bar too low man) the lycan gauntlet that he made ethan run through? yeah, he used that before! he has an entire PA system set up in it! he has lights and huge spikey metal death traps! he did not make all of that just for ethan just to "play appearances" for miranda. there were other people who went through that. and they DIED!
their deceased bodies are still in there! karl is messed up and eccentric 😭 it makes him fun, let him be messed up and evil 😭 and yes, karl used DEAD bodies instead of killing people who were alive, so surely that makes him far less evil right?
WRONG! 😭
HE CONSIDERED USING LIVE BODIES FOR THE SOLDATS 😭
karl really isnt a good person, he has reasons for the things he does, he wants to take down miranda and i dont think hed be creating undead zombies in the first place if it werent for her ruining his life but that isnt justification, its just an explanation for why he does what he does. he has a sympathetic back story and motives but you cant erase what he did, hes a villain! he tries to use a baby as a weapon!!! all 4 of the lords are villains, and instead of making other characters worse to uplift your favorite character that did something bad, you can just accept that the character you like did bad things 😭 they are all fictional, if i like moreau it does not mean i endorse eating fishermen 😭 you can like a character that is flawed, or evil, or did insanely messed up things because its RESIDENT EVIL. they are EVIL! they do bad things! like im sorry! but if your fave has a villains wiki it probably means they did some bad things! 😭
i wish people would be able to enjoy a character without entirely dismissing the bad things they did. its okay to like a character that does bad things, its ok to find them interesting and fun! but you cant deny what actually happens in games to try and make them appear as innocent. you dont have to justify every little thing that they do, just accept them as a whole!
of course this doesnt apply to AUs or just posting for fun. you can change media to be what you want to make it more fun. im going to draw lady dimitrescu treating ethan like a unwanted family pet. does that mean that i think she would really do that in canon? no! she would bite him and then tie him up like a pinata and give her daughters blindfolds and bats!
but people need to be able to recognize that fanon is NOT canon.
this post is about canon interpretations,
this is just addressing people who genuinely believe that those kinds of portrayals of the character is an ACCURATE portrayal, because its not.
Because shadows of rose has me back up to my neck in my RE8 hyperfixation headcannon requests are back open. Until I get one I like I’m making ones just for me

medics unruly ducklings
Hello whatever is left of the TWDG fandom in 2023, I missed y'all! Figured I'd post some new drawings I made for this old Duck survives AU of mine here as well because I'm back in my TWDG era. Been posting these on Reddit but I figured what the hell, might as well revive my years old Tumblr where this AU started after all.
Anyway, I just think it'd be neat to see him survive and how he'd turn out as an adult and seeing him and Clem co-parent AJ (but not in a mom and dad kinda way, more like mom and dumb-but-cool Florida man uncle way).
Got a new idea for some Medical examiner! Danny. I did this instead of working on my writing competition submissions 😀
-----
You know, Danny has always heard that Gotham was full of crime and murder, but so far it really wasn’t too bad!
He had moved here just over a month ago to work as a medical examiner at the GCPD until Jazz finished medical school and her internship at Arkham. Yeah, the crime rate was admittedly pretty bad, but the people here were so nice!
His coworkers invited him to join them on lunch, his neighbor, a big buff guy who looked like he ate nails, helped him move in, and he had only been mugged once which was pretty decent! It was on his first day here and he found his wallet on his doorstep the morning after, everything still inside!
He aced the interview and solved 2 crimes on his first day there! He even got off early to walk around and take pictures of the arcitecture to send to Sam. He did have to stay late a couple of nights to deal with paperwork, but that's to be expected. All in all, Life was going great!
Meanwhile, everyone who meets Danny is absolutely positive this kid is going to become Gotham's next rogue and is doing their dammed best not to end up on his vengance list when it inevitably happens.
His first day at work, he spent 8 minutes staring at the body before telling the Commissioner that he knew not only the victims name, but who the killer was and where the murder weapon was hidden.
Normally he'd be brushed off as crazy, but sure enough, everything he said was accurate. That would have been cause for an investigation but he was on video (albiet a very blurry video, those were brand new cameras and they were already malfunctioning?) working late on the night of the murder. The janitor even vouched for him.
His skin was almost as pale as the corpses he examined, and cold too. Danny nearly gave the intern a heartattack when he found him taking a nap on the breakroom couch, cold as literal ice and only faintly breathing. The kids eyes were even different colors depending on who you asked; some claimed it was blue, others siad it was bright green.
He mentioned his childhood once, talking about the lab in his parent's basement and how lab safety was basically a suggestion. He said this as he reached for his drink and almost took a sip of formaldehyde.
He also hasn't outright said it, but from what they've heard, they're pretty sure his parents were literaly hunting down the local hero from wherever he's from.
Yeah, this kid was most definitely rogue material and everyone was trying their best to either stay the hell out of it or at least end up on his good side. Danny just thinks gothamites are misunderstood little meow meows.
I do my best to avoid posts if they bother me, but this one about The Duke was circulating again and I couldn't really ignore it. The post is a meme aimed at Capcom I seriously doubt what it's trying to say. I find the assumption that Capcom have bad intentions with The Duke unreasonable, so I won't reblog just to disagree with the content. I'm just downhearted to imagine the thoughts in above post crossing someone's mind while appreciating Duke as the genuinely attractive character he is.
I don't believe Capcom were saying look at this ugly/disgusting/grotesque/uncomfortable character for one moment. Because number one, it's obvious Duke isn't ugly. He can't be considered grotesque because of his looks, his face is beautiful. Is the "ugly" assumption based on his obesity then? Hopefully not, yet would anyone even jump to conclusions and think of a meme like the one above if Duke wasn't obese because it seems such a thing is only aimed at Duke for that reason. Taking everything about his character and size into consideration, I don't see why the criticism of Capcom would stem from it though. His fatness is not treated disrespectfully or demonised.
I'm not only puzzled about the creators being accused when they brought us such a great/great looking character, I'm also disappointed that someone would jump to that kind of conclusion on seeing Duke. In fact, the very idea that Capcom hope viewers find Duke [insert horrible adjective] is so random to me that it never entered my head until the above meme and similar comments stemming from that.
Of the 1,000+ people who interacted with the meme, I'm really glad some stated the obvious about Duke, such as him literally being adorable, a sweetheart, actually normal looking and handsome, they've never seen him as ugly or grotesque, etc. And that's a good point. He is a normal looking human, so why would Capcom market him as ugly and grotesque when there are plenty of characters who really are!
Then I noticed an important question under the meme: "was that really their [Capcom's] intent because they failed miserably?"
And the answer is no, there's no evidence that was really their intent, they didn't even hint that they wanted the audience to be repulsed by The Duke. There's no evidence the meme is Capcom's perspective at all. The meme is a personal opinion disguised as Capcom's perspective. They never said Duke was supposed to be seen in a bad light. He's a breath of fresh air. For him to be unique and a foodie are about the only things they mentioned about him. If someone jumps to the negative on seeing an obese man in revealing clothes, that's on them, not the designers.
Duke is one of the most inappropriate characters to include in a meme about ugliness. If Moreau was used I could understand it more because he's a distorted fish monster, but Duke? Why? He isn't monstrous. Disgusting to look at? Where? Again, he's physically attractive in both face and body! He's not even attractive in an acquired taste, ugly-cute kind of way. He's truly handsome, objectively so, for sure. Fan art is rarely able to capture his beauty. He's wearing a revealing outfit, doesn't mind showing his belly to the world, and looks hot doing it. More celebratory than shaming. Capcom are all about horror and could have made him into a monster if they desired, but they didn't. He may feature in a horror game, but his weight is not related to that. He's a normal, very likeable man who happens to be very obese. The weight is undeniably beautiful on him too and adds to the appeal. His character would be lacking without it. I can't imagine how someone might intepret his magnificent appearance negatively.
So, I don't believe Duke's beauty is accidental. Capcom had to know what they were doing in the best possible way for people to swoon over him and fall in love with him at first sight. They know what he looks like as much as we do, they designed him beautifully. I doubt it was a matter of just throwing a few ingredients together to make a character that ended up being attractive by chance. His design is perfect and very deliberate.
I think the real proof of their intention with The Duke is revealed when you consider the differences in the concept compared with the finished look. If they wanted people to find Duke ugly, they would have surely gone ahead with their original designs, the concept art where he looks very different and is not a beauty:
Not only did they think better of these designs by changing his face completely, make changes about his body and other features, they actually decided to take it even further by adding more weight than is seen on these concepts. They are not the overall fatter Duke we know:
We ended up with a much larger Duke than these, and good looking on top of that, which shows they intended him to be attractive as the obese man he is. They didn't just add more weight and keep the unappealing face, they actually combined extreme weight with a pretty face. For Capcom to think the fattest man we've ever seen should also be the best looking, how on earth is he supposed to be ugly? This is why I cannot justify the meme about Capcom, it doesn't make sense.
Even Aaron LaPlante mentioned the notable differences between the concept art and in-game, remarking on his grotesque looks in the original idea vs his cherubic looks afterwards.
Now, if Duke looked like the concept art in the final design and people were swooning over him like that, the ugly meme would make sense. I'd understand the he's made to be repulsive but we're surprisingly attracted to him remarks because they'd be true. It would be an unexpected attraction to a gross looking merchant. But in the end, Duke didn't look like that. He looks like this:
He's seriously gorgeous it's unreal, so it's not really shocking to desire and be attracted to him! If you can look at such an exquisite gentleman and your thoughts jump to Capcom having bad intent, hoping for the audience to be uncomfortable or disgusted or anything similar, I don't know what else to emphasise.
I don't think Capcom are cowards either. If they originally thought Duke should be extremely fat and attractive, but backed out at the last moment because they didn't want to admit a man of such size can be genuinely desirable and seen in a positive light, that would be a cowardly move. But they didn't back out. Nothing negative was mentioned when they introduced him to the world. They created the fattest man who's also the most beautiful, so if the majority of people see how beautiful he is, I'd say... that was their intention. Meaning they didn't fail miserably, they got a great result.
Not forgetting the Masked Duke who has the same image, the body and styling which is obviously required. And the same charm, just in an evil sense. His handsome face may be partially obscured due to the fact he's an imperfect copy, yet the mask they gave him is still appealing. Even as a villain, the designers couldn't make The Duke unpleasant in any way!
And people are really saying, take that Capcom, the positive response to The Duke really backfired on you. I don't see anything backfiring on them. Judging by the overhaul of Duke's design from the concept, their intention must have been to have an aesthetically pleasing Duke. Being drawn to him is a good result for them, we're seeing him for exactly what he is. So if anything, it's well done Capcom, you achieved what you set out to do! They nailed his design, he's perfect. An intriguing, sweet, sexy character, larger than life in every sense, and isn't hiding away in a perfectly fitting outfit. His figure is stunning and unapologetically on display, which makes the fan art that covers him in clothes that fit very disappointing.
Most RE fans and even people who aren't fans adore Duke. He became the main attraction for many people. Capcom went all the way with both his weight and his looks. This is a man who's as handsome as he is obese and as obese as he is handsome. That's a devastatingly attractive combination that's rarely put out there, expecially in a mainstream game. Plus, his extreme obesity is an undeniable part of the attraction. I personally wouldn't have played Village if he wasn't there or if he looked different!
In conclusion, there's no need for Capcom slander. They didn't do him dirty as some say, they obviously did him right to make Duke lovers of us all. I think their motivations are clear, so I don't agree with criticising Capcom over some baseless speculation. Instead they should be praised for such a wonderful creation that is The Duke.
Mouthwashing, but the worst tragedy that has happened is the shaving of Daisuke's hair.
Just a silly idea hehehehe
Bonus under the cut:
Anya took this photo <3
my man the duke really saw ethan's heartless corpse in the middle of a field, asked "is anyone gonna pick this man up and uber him to the last boss fight?" and didn't wait for an answer. king shit.
