My Attempt At Drawing A Banshee. One Of My Monster Girls Series Characters. Fair Warning, I Don't Have

My attempt at drawing a banshee. One of my monster girls series characters. Fair warning, I don't have good quality art supplies and my art is kind of shit. Everything I post is only done in pencil, crayola colored pencils, crayons, and markers, the occasional acrylic paint, and office depot brand felt tip pens. I don't have any digital art software besides Microsoft Paint, and most of my work is done on notebook paper during or shortly after class. Don't expect beautiful, professional looking stuff from me because I'm simply too cheap to buy good art supplies. The only sort of exception to this rule is what I've done in art class but I don't really own those materials. I'm not a professional artist. I'm not an art student or anything like that. I will gladly take constructive criticism and the like, but if you come expecting to see some beautiful blending and meaningful colors this is not the place to come. I'm lucky if I get the basic shape of the eyes and arms right most days and if you ask me to draw a hand I will laugh in your face. I just wanted share my random drawings and their backstories with the tumblr world, and go on long rants about fandom and storytelling, and maybe me putting on costumes in the middle of June. We'll see where it goes. In short I just want to have fun and sorry for the long post. Hello tumblr, I have become with crazies.

if you haven’t read Oya Manda’lor! by cloud__chaser you really really should (inspired by chapters 13 and 14) (Din says: Good job, kid. I’m proud of you.)

this fic has everything! ambiguous jedi artifacts, time travel, a bunch of murderous mandalorians, a bunch of horny mandalorians, lore galore!!!, sentient meddling sabers, free lessons of mandoa, jango fett, flirting mistaken for death threats, small children, slightly bigger children, so many children and nearly all of them in need of a father figure, seriously there’s a whole planet of children who need a proper parent, mandalorian cuisine, smol obi-wan kenobi, trouble with accepting affection, grey goup soup, qui-gon being a dick, a very “canon? what canon?” attitude, one very sad dad and one very special baby missing his dad very much

I saw googly eyes at work and spent my lunch money on them so I could desecrate every manga I own

Bonus: some long enbys

I love this idea

Very niche thought:

food truck war between Torajirō from Way of the Househusband and Kaoru-chan from Fresh Precure!

tropical fruit crêpes versus doughnuts with heart-shaped holes

a knock-down drag-out brawl

the gutters of Instagram will run red with blood (and likes)

granted, Kaoru-chan's mysterious past seems to have been as a secret agent and bodyguard, not a gangster, but don't you think he has a strong Tatsu-like vibe?

While I also appreciate official liscensing of great animes (regarding Heaven's Design Team): the YT's translation from Muse Asia addressed Kanamori/Venus using he/him pronouns and while I don't know if the manga source material ever made it clear about Kanamori's ID, I always assumed (going off of wiki pages and the English fan-scanlations) that she's a trans woman using she/her. I thought that's certainly concerning. Can anyone clear this up please?

(sorry this took me so long to respond to!!)

I can't find any sources on the fan wiki listing her as female(which, to be clear, they do! wikipedia explicitly refers to her as a trans woman, btw) such as interviews or page discussion, just comments that anyone can leave(which are rife with transmisogynistic bullshit), so I'm not sure where it's actually been clarified/stated outright.

on the one hand I do think it would be really cool if voice directors cast actors regardless of gender, like i've thought about this a lot before actually,

but on the other hand, having a character like Kin-chan officially be a trans woman is just such a blessing, I really hope they don't backtrack on it.

Hanase from Tamako Market was another female character voiced by a male seiyuu wherein her gender is never called into question(though Japanese fans unfortunately tend to regard her as an okama - heads up that this is a controversial term even in Japan),

but I suspect both of these characters are subject to the same translation issue. Japanese doesn't actually use a lot of gendered language - in particular pronouns do not work the same as they do in english.

I often notice, rather than pronouns(kare/kanojo/kareshi) formal speech tends to usually favour phrases such as "ano hito/ano onna/ano otoko" (that person, that woman, that man), which means faithfully translating to English often means either making an assumption or leaving pronouns out entirely.

Muse Asia is definitely getting a lot of flack & people don't tend to have much faith in their free translations(which seem to maybe be lifted from fansubs groups without credit)

Honestly with that in mind, I advise just waiting for the eps to be available for free on Crunchyroll.

I can't remember if Tamako Market's Hanase-san is ever shown using a particular side of the bathhouse, but Kanamori is shown bathing with Meido in the women's bath. This is not questioned &, imho, it's clear that Kin-chan is regarded as a woman by her peers in no uncertain terms.
