Doodled Tikaal

my jackal, euclase ✨

i made him in 2016, a whole year before sonic forces came out. i still think its funny how his stripes and black fur look kind of similar to infinite's. it was a complete coincidence that i continue to laugh about to this day

honestly i feel like even if you did ask mizu, i don't i think even SHE/HE/THEY would know how to answer. there has never been a singular point in her life where she's been able to decide for herself what she is. masculinity is a performance, femininity is her secret. she can't perform femininity well so when she IS a girl she's quite tomboy. masculinity seems to come to her by default as it's all she's ever been.

i feel like mizu would be the type to be rather unconcerned with her own gender or pronouns. kind of like apathetic nonbinary-ness, if this makes sense. but then again, this is me projecting as well since i too identify with this as an exhausted nonbinary person constantly getting gendered by other people when i really don't have one at all.

for me, i'm just me. and i'd imagine for mizu, mizu is just mizu. mizu's gender is mizu.

i think that kind of representation in the form of identity being an affliction is in itself very good and it is definitely something i think all of us, queer or otherwise, can relate to to at least some extent.

Alright here's another take on Mizu's gender:

The thing about Mizu is that characters in the show and people in real life project either "man" or "woman," "boy" or "girl" onto them, and Mizu more or less goes along with what they say, but I didn't notice a single moment where they outright communicated "I'm a woman" or "I'm a man." And I'm guilty too, I'm projecting "nonbinary" onto them!

But the thing is nobody has bothered to ask thus far, which is no doubt period accurate. But we're supposed to be more aware and open about gender than these fictional characters. I'm not saying there is a correct interpretation—because nothing has been confirmed, and regardless of what is or isn't confirmed it is to a degree* still up to the individual really—but it does irk me a bit to see so many people assuming and projecting, is all.

*By "to a degree" I mean there's what is or isn't confirmed, which will probably be that they're a woman; and then there's the undeniable validity of what individuals might see in them. Do you see them as a woman being forced to choose between a life of gendered mistreatment and a life of relative freedom, and choosing freedom? Very cool! But don't use what you see, however valid that is, to dictate what others see in Mizu. Same goes for all the other interpretations.

Bottom line is, if Mizu is confirmed to be a woman, which again would be most likely, that doesn't mean what trans people see in them isn't valid. If anything it becomes even more valid, because we will have been denied representation once again because of the politics of our time.

i am not looking for posts about house MD but now two people i follow are posting about it - right as i started binging it

um.

h-how is this happening. did something happen to make it trend or something? how did it become the Hot Show everyone is talking about again? i just started watching it again cuz i was feeling nostalgic idk whats going on 😭

some doodles of knuckles the dread in a more sea of thieves-y setting!! bottom comic was based on a stupid thing i did in game. it felt right

some hcs i have about dread:

he's constantly drinking/drunk. he's still on the ball enough to get the job done, but there's almost never a moment where he isn't drinking

dread drinks because he tries to numb himself/forget about things. his mental health isn't great. this is also why dread is known for being so impulsive and reckless.

he likes to smoke too. man's just a collection of vices

his quills are wavey because they get wet so often that their shape has kinda 'warped'

idk if you’ve drawn this yet, but shadow coming out to Sonic as Trans Fem, I’m curious on how shadow would think Sonic would act

i've highkey been rolling a fic idea around in my head for this for mooooonths

since sonic is trans himself, i think he'd be delighted to see his partner coming into her own and finding an identity that she connects with better than her previous one. at the end of the day, she's still shadow.

in fact, i think sonic might have even seen this coming. there have always been little signs that she's been an egg. which, again, i may detail more in that fic im plotting.

but yeah! in a nutshell; sonic saw it coming, was delighted. pretty sure sonic overuses the word 'wife' a lot these days now because he's so proud

"i love my wife" "my wife can do that!" "have you met my wife?" "wife wife wifeee"

oh my god i literally fucking suck at posting here

HERE .. sonic kinsona sort of??

her..

heres a close up + some wips since this whole thing took around 8 hours

a painting i did of the ender dragon when i wasn't feeling well

You can tell when my object permanence issues kicked in when I suddenly appear out of nowhere going through everything I missed
