Benny!!!

rewatching this episode and i keep thinking about that stupid post im so sorry dont take this seriously pls

my favorite two scenes out of Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady. 

Donnie and April are very concerned about their puckboy and his recklessness. hurt/comfort feelings are abound.

bonus:

“i’ll keep these sketches nice and loose so i can test some new brushes!” says the lying liar who lies

this is why i can’t let myself do backgrounds 😔 “what if they had 6 mugs and 10 posters” and what if the world was made of pudding. YOU HAVE LESS THAN 6 HOURS A WEEK TO DRAW!!

apple has five billion photos of briar sleeping in the most godawful absolutely worst angles ever. like its incriminating. she has made them into stickers and she will use them while hexting. briar retaliates by sending 0.5 zoom pictures of apple from a top down view angle that she took of her because briar is super tall while apple is super short. this LEGALLY cannot make it out of their hexts

and also here's the lone pictures

i will explain this next one the best i can: raven has this photo of maddie jumping at the camera (or something idek) and she sends it to people when they ask her something along the vibes of "how the HEX are you gonna do that " or like "that's not possible" if ykwim. the idea comes from how maddie's thing is that everything is possible to her until she knows it's supposed to be impossible lol. she doesn't explain it to people either she just sends it and the other person will be like "???" un til they figure it out or she explains it. when i think about this i think about how in pokemon they'll be like "pikachu i choose you!!" or whatever i never really got into pokemon lol

lone pictures again :) (no bg/bg)

The Anne Shirley Opening dropped and Naoko Yamada has delivered yet another masterpiece.

Love everything about it, be it the song or the animation itself. It captures her personality so well, as well as the nature of the show. Just the way they captured her body language is perfect.

Ehh dont worry guys, he’ll catch up

Then, Karmo doesn't fit in with the ranks of the enemy (he feels bad for Abeke and wants to let her go as soon as she's captured). He doesn't fit in with the antagonist kids (he's too serious next to their immature cat-fighting energy). He's both too competent, and too open to listening, to fit with the raiders when he next reappears in Book of Shane: Venture - and this time Shane singles him out because of this, so it's canonically acknowledged. He ends up with the Redcloaks, plays messenger for them in Tales of the Fallen Beasts, picks a name that we could try to read intentions into ... but really, we're never given any idea what he wants or what's driving him and it's clearly just an electricity reference. In Venture, Shane tries to get his help by pulling on his curiosity, but that's not what works. At least in my understanding of the story, Karmo comes back and ends up helping because he didn't want to see Shane killed. Shane tries to drop hints about what his mission is; Karmo waves them away and says "They're planning to execute you."

I really don't understand Zerif, mostly because we're told almost nothing about him. He was forcibly bonded to a jackal and came to Shane to give him Gerathon's talisman so Shane could start the Second Devourer War and set Gerathon and Kovo free.

Then, in the second series, we see his thirst for power lead him into the Wyrm's trap. He seeks to control the beast, thinking it will bring him to glory. This was undoubtedly the Wyrm getting in his head with the parasite and choosing him as its host, but I think even if he'd kept control of his ability to make logical decisions, he'd still have chosen to do this, because he is shown to be a power-hungry man.

Although he appeared to be working for the Conquerors, he was working for Kovo himself, probably for power. He also learned the secret of Gerathon's talisman from Kovo.

It's also interesting to me that he chose a jackal as a spirit animal, as they are generally considered to be cunning creatures. This leads me to believe that he wanted people to think him as cunning as a jackal, which worked, given his nickname.

It's also a mystery how he even found Kovo. Kovo is the one that tells him the secret to Gerathon's talisman, who urges him to set the plan in motion which eventually sets him free. Kovo was held at the top of Muttering Rock in Stetriol, which is near impossible to climb with a top that is scorching hot, so Zerif would have had to come to Stetriol and climb Muttering Rock. Before the Second Devourer War, Stetriol wasn't on any maps, which leads me to believe that Zerif ran into it on accident.

So we know two things about him: he's a coward and power-hungry. Both of these qualities, while negative, could probably shed some light on his background. The jackal he was bonded to as well as his light brown skin leads me to believe he's from Nilo. My personal theory is that he was probably from a rich family in Nilo, contributing to his arrogant manner. Then, his family was attacked, leaving him to run away, creating a background for his cowardice. As for his hunger for power, we know that he met Kovo somehow, and Kovo probably manipulated him into wanting power.

As for how he met Kovo, I assume that while he was running away, he stole a boat and paddled into the ocean. According to the map of Erdas, traveling south from the tip of Nilo will lead to Stetriol, so I assume he was somehow thrown off course and ended up washing ashore. Because of the fact that he didn't know anything about Stetriol or the legends about Muttering Rock, he eventually finds himself up there as he wanders the area, eventually meeting Kovo.
