cloud’s identity crisis 🐥 #ff7rebirth
FF7 comic
Aerith and Tifa holding shopping bags, chatting “that was so fun!” “What a great day”
Cloud, slightly upset: “did you guys go shopping without me?”
Tifa, befuddled: “what are you talking about? You were the the whole-“
Tifa: “time…”
Tifa and Aerith look over to realize they went shopping with a Chocobo

Indiscriminately reposted by an aggregator because of its invocation of nature (moss) and possibly medium (chalk). For all of my examination of art I do not know how far removed I am from the concept

Star Fox sometimes reminds me of group projects in school
Fan comic of the Nintendo series StarFox

Panel 1: Peppy Hare gestures to formation diagrams, asking “and we all know what to do when the enemy’s on our tail, right?”

Panel 2: Slippy says “Fly in front of Fox and let him shoot them down!”
Falco says “Fly in front of Fox, and let him shoot ‘em down.”
Peppy says “Fly in front of Fox! Let him shoot them down!” 
Fox yells “s-somersault! You somersault!!”

Please send Bill some kindness during his recovery. Story I've never told: a full *five years* after I left FFC, I was aimless, living at home, newly aware of my father's narcissism, in therapy, looking for work; listed as a reference an old critic job that I'd had from high school from a classmate.

Using AI as the next phase of screencap dunk culture is really the only place left for it to go, insofar that the destructive cost will be more tangible, more number-crunchable, than the abstract dissemination of right-wing garbage through sarcastic contradiction.

The only proper way to combat against vehicles is through insane wrestling moves. elbow dropping context here #wbn | #dahlia | #myart
comic depicting Dahlia scratch doing an insane multistory elbow drop unto an unsuspecting guarded stage coach. she utterly destroys it, much to the horror of the guardsman driving it

She lands in top of the dismayed guards — most likely breaking someone’s thigh bone in the process.

Knuckles the Echidna looking performatively skeptical, saying,
"Actually, Cars are just little guys in suits who run around for you. None of it is real."
"That is ridiculous, Knuckles." says Tails.
"Sonic's just one of those little guys who crawled out and got away. That's why he's so smug about everything." says Knuckles.

Dahlia learning a lesson that it doesn't matter how clunky - or how reliant on luck - the attempt is as long as it brings results. Sucks for those guards tho Full context here! #myart | #wbn | #dahlia
A comic featuring Dahlia as she throws a hammer and shield at the town guards during a nighttime operation. The throw wildly misses but gets the guards on the rebound. Dahlia looks embarrassed at how clunky the whole endeavor was.

The guards are seen barely conscious and in pain.
