Something that’s great about Rick and Morty is that no matter how much of Rick’s inner pain they show, I never get the sense that they’re trying to say “oh, see, he’s really a good guy after all” or suggest it excuses any of his behavior.
He can genuinely love his grandson and still treat him like shit. He can be a self-centered ass and an amoral monster and a good friend to Bird Person and be in very deep pain all at once because that’s how real people are, and none of those qualities erase any of the other qualities.
Long time no see, tumblr! Anyone still here? :) Thought I’d share my latest - fruit and vegetables re-imagined as watercolor characters. There’s an amazing greengrocer near my London home, and for the last few months I have been going over there and picking green foods I found interesting and inspiring to create characters based on those. Hope you like it! And if you could spare a second to upvote my Bored Panda post that would be very nice of you ^_^ https://www.boredpanda.com/fruit-vegetable-watercolor-characters-marija-tiurina/ Happy last day of February!
I do feel bad for plants in general. Like, I know they are often as vicious as animals in many ways, just slower. But, I mean, they just show up and they’re like, “I Think I Will Evolve To Eat The Sun And Also Make Oxygen And How Now Is All This.” And, like, everything fucking dies at first (totally not plants fault, btw. okay maybe it was but they didn’t mean to) but then new things evolve. And they’re like, “Fuck it, eating each other suuuucks. Let’s eat the plants which give us life.” And so we start doing that. And plants are all, “Oh Dear No, I Do Not Care At All For Being Eaten. I Will Make Myself Into Poison Sometimes.” But, y'know, stuff kept eating plants anyway so plants, ever the bro, came up with a new idea. “I Have Made A Decision About Being Eaten And You May Eat Me Friends And Here Is An Especially Tasty Bit Packed All Full of Delicious Sugars Which I Have Produced At Great Cost (What They Do Not Know Is That My Seeds Are Within And Shall Be Propagated Near And Far By Their Dung)“ But that’s not good enough for animals, no, not at all. We love the fuck out of some pomegranates but also alliums which are like, “I Have Not Decided To Go In For This Being Eaten Business. I Shall Be Very Foul Tasting And Also A Poison.” But no, sorry, onions, you fucked up. You accidentally wound up with a species that just doesn’t give up or fully comprehend the idea of things tasting “”‘bad’“’ or other concepts like not eating poison. (Sorry, plants, later we turn some of you who are not poison into a poison we consume recreationally. We really enjoy eating poison.) Legit, alliums are deadly to, like, every other species. And we call them aromatics and throw them in everything. Peppers are the best, though. They completely got on the being eaten train. BUT ONLY BIRDS Peppers are like, “You May Eat Me, Fair Avian, For You Are Sure To Spread Me A Great Distance. But, Mammal, Take HEED. Should You Eat Me Then I Will Burn You Most Terribly.” And we were all about that. “The FUCK, burning? I love pain,” said humans, presumably. “You know, peppers, you and evolution have done a good job at burning us but I am pretty sure we could make your chemical agony even more potent. Come hang with us,” humans added to a very confused pepper just before creating the ghost chili.
New status on my @DeviantArt
Thought this was relevant enough to put on here, as well, and it's easier to do this than type it out again, lol.
I forgot to mention this earlier, but I've now set up a YouTube channel for my M.U.G.E.N stuff! I just uploaded my first video today:
M.U.G.E.N Character Release – Caleb
Shun Ver. 1.01 has come out now.
It would've been yesterday at the same time as Caleb but I was too tired, lol.
Made another short bc they're satisfying and easy lol.
Just a little teaser for my next character...
Mai has been released now!
This wasn't meant to take nearly as long as it did...
