Thank You So Much OP For Doing All This Work. It Makes Attempting To Draw Hollow Knight A Lot Easier.

Whenever I think about the dark side and how Star Wars talks about it, it's never as small as having a temper or being prideful

It's those character flaws to an extreme

It's the loss of control. The loss of stability. The loss of who you really wanted to be. It's everything you would be if you sacrificed any kind of restraint

No one's turn to the dark side has ever been treated as a freeing experience because that's not what it is. Most dark side users have been broken down and twisted by even worse characters into following them. In most cases, it takes years of pain and suffering to be fully corrupted. It takes direct brainwashing to turn someone quickly. The very few who seemingly turned to the dark side completely by their own choice were just inherently drawn to the worst aspects of a person's nature

Many jedi have their own flaws and struggles. Quite a few lose their way and need time to rediscover themselves and who they are as jedi, but many of them never fall to the dark side because the dark side is more severe than having negative traits

The light side represents who a person is when they are at peace with themselves. It's who they are when they accept their vices as part of them, and then refuse to let those same vices dominate them. Keeping your worst traits under control is not a form of repression

The dark side is the full rejection of all of your positive traits. It's embracing your vices to the point that compassion and kindness no longer exist. It's expressing every negative emotion without thought or restraint

Light represents freedom. You're free to decide for yourself what kind of person you want to be. You're free to choose your way forward. You're free to change and grow as you please

Darkness is the one that represents being trapped. It's the side that chains you to your hatred and refuses to let go. It's what blinds you to the goodness in the world and lose sight of everything you hoped to be

That's why there's no such thing as positive corruption in Star Wars

Reblog this Pokemon + cat meme for my friend.

Just because I cannot fully appreciate it, doesn't mean she can't.

Your Leafeon is still stunning, all these months later.

@violetdawn001 and I are both huge pokémon fans, so we did a collab where we designed Leafeon for other seasons. We decided the normal Leafeon was the springtime one, and summer will be covered in flowers! But we actually only designed 2, and she chose autumn and I did winter. I didn't want to do an all brown, dead looking Leafeon though 😂

A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background. 

If you could have any exotic pet, what would it be?

VD: Okay, I would say griffens would be so cool to have-

Razor: What about me??????

VD: No Razor, they kindly asked what kind of PET I would have, not pets.

Razor: But I-but I-

VD: Breathe fire. Not very practical.

Razor: But I roast marshmallows!

VD: Who roasted the pillows just last week?

Razor: I'm sorry! Please choose me!

Fuzzy Beak: Oooh! Butterfly! Pretty!

What's one thing from your childhood you'd love to do again if given the chance?

Considering that I still draw dragons, write stories, and play Pokemon, this is a hard question...

I say...go on roller coasters. Haven't been on one in years.

Me every time I see a Lurien Dad fanfic. Still sad I created the "Hornet & Lurien the Watcher" tag despite not being the first one to write them having a friendship or parent/child relationship.

You ever just browsing a couple you like on AO3 on your phone, and you get excited about the prospect of this soulmate au fic that pops up, only to realize it's your own fic?
