⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see
Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

i think you should pay your translators, translation editors, and letters royalties on the series that helped your global manga publishing company reach 100 years in business before you cobble together another "see? you don't have to pirate anymore, we promise" endeavor, but maybe that's just me lol

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

Fanart of the investigation team from Persona 4. Yu Narukami sits with one leg over the other, looking over his glasses, as the focal point. Behind him the rest of the cast are arranged in the composition. Yosuke has the top-right corner to himself and is smiling looking back at Yu, then Yukiko, Chie and Teddie are in the top left (Yukiko looking stoic, Chie in a martial arts pose, Teddie is in the distance and appears to be flying off), below Yukiko are Kanji and Naoto on the left-hand side of the piece (Kanji grinning while Naoto holds the brim of her hat and looks off to the left), and below them is Rise, smiling and biting her tongue with her hair blowing in the air. Next to Rise is a very hidden Mecha Chameleon character.
The piece is bright and colourful with a yellow background, and the characters are cel-shaded with black.

It's confirmed: the end game credits of the Switch 2 version of Tales of Arise still do not include the English voice actors, English localizers, or FIGS localizers. AKA, the people who make sure your game emotionally resonates with overseas audiences. #TranslatorsintheCredits
Screenshot of the end game credits from the Switch 2 version of Tales of Arise; only Alphen's Japanese voice actor and motion actor are listed.
