Honest John from Disney’s Pinocchio : Julie.wilk96

 I watched Pinocchio for the first time in 15 years back in 2018. I had forgotten how funny some characters were. Honest John and Gideon caught my eye. They were very entertaining and I’m sad Disney didn’t do more with them! As a result– not only did it inspire me to make my Honest John cosplay, but I was inspired to create my own script about the backstory of these two characters.

I write scripts I hope to one day present to Disney with my manager and agent and this one is called “Foulfellow and company”. I have also created a lot of fun original characters and I intend to cosplay one from the story in the future!

I get so many great responses at cons! Sometimes people stand in shock when they see me because its not a character people typically cosplay. It is also a character that appeals to all generations old and young.

I have 2 notable interactions that were very fun:

1. A man in his mid 50s started singing “Hi diddle dee dee” behind me…. I don’t think he expected me to burst out into song, but when i did we went skipping down the hall singing the song and people recorded us and applauded. It was a lot of fun!

2. A small boy came up to me and asked to take a photo. After the photo, I gave him an ace of spades card and told him it was his “ticket to pleasure island”. He handed it back to me saying “I’m a good boy who goes to school, but you can send my little brother to pleasure island if you want!”

I couldn’t contain my laughter. The child was about 8 and it was so funny I high five him and gave him a big hug. His parents were so happy. Overall. I believe I get the best interactions with this character because he is very rare. Whenever I cosplay him, i go all out with my impressions and mannerisms. So much so, my boyfriend tells me that I intimidate people! But it’s all in good fun

I had never worked with fur before this point so learning how to sew with fur was a bit of a challenge. The costume itself was pretty simple in my opinion (I have been sewing for years). I made the entire thing from scratch. My favorite prop is probably the top hat he has which I made from foam. Sometimes I put Jimmy Cricket on top of the hat like in the scene where Honest John sings “hi diddle dee dee”. The cloak I made for him is fun to wear and there is a little space in between where the tail fits perfectly. To make the tail, I had to use wiring and foam to give it the shape I wanted but overall I was satisfied with how the cosplay turned out!

The quote I associate most with cosplay is “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself” You have so much room to be creative with cosplays. A lot of people don’t know how to sew and prefer their own cosplays which is completely awesome and valid, but I like to have the freedom for creativity in cosplay which is why I make my own. I like being able to design costumes from scratch and then show off the outcome! I’ve learned a lot of patience in cosplay. If you want something to look the way you want, it’s not a good idea to rush it! Take your time and make it yours!

First up, this place looks like some kind of throne room, seemingly with clones of Yugo bowing down to the guy sat up there (the one we don’t yet know, but given Yugo isn’t anywhere else to be seen in the trailer, it’s gotta be him, right?).

What’s this big red destruction thing? Either way, this picture of Amalia HURTS.

Flopin and Elely have ascended and I am here for it

And, like a bad smell, Qilby is back. But for real, or is this another memory/image?

This is the most interesting part for me. Whoever the guy with the Wakfu and Stasis swords is, he’s attacking the big Ruby of Doom - so is he on the side of our heroes? We’ll find out…

ANKAMA NEEDS US

ANYONE WHO REBLOGS AFTER WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JULY TO GET THEIR DRAWINGS.

Here’s a comic that I never finished, back from when I started watching both DT17 and DWD. Also a bonus Gyro:

First of all, there’s the knowledge that Jim never had a Gosalyn, or a Launchpad, to keep him grounded like OG Darkwing. He’s been without that kind of moral support for who knows how long. He’s a deadbeat movie star that no one remembers, and it turned him bitter and resentful. It’s what contributed to Jim snapping. All this is his desperate cry for recognition.

Then there’s Launchpad; this guy walks into your life, supposedly your biggest fan. Jim initially takes him for granted, and it doesn’t really click how much he values what Launchpad thinks of him until the episode’s climax. He’s thought of so fondly and heroic, when he knows that, especially after all this mess, that he really isn’t. He’s failed Launchpad; failed to live up to the few set of expectations that he has, which he’s been dead set on showing to the world since the episode’s start. Jim screwed up the one thing he didn’t want to.

Jim’s complex relationship with Drake means that LP was really the only way of reaching out to him; he’s so infuriated because he feels like Drake is replacing him. You can see this bitterness towards his ‘replacement’ throughout the episode, and honestly a lot of lines hint at it, and how he’s trying to take back the heroic title that used to be his. He’s possessive of it; he is Darkwing Duck. He deserves the limelight. He’s the hero. Except in those moments, he really wasn’t. This aggressive one-sided rivalry between him and Drake meant Launchpad was ALWAYS going to be the one that snapped him out of it.

It’s hard to tell what might have been going through his head in this scene, given the episode’s ending and his Face Heel Turn. But my interpretation of it is that he not only realized he messed up, but in a way, accepted it? Maybe he’ll never be anything like Launchpad described ever again; maybe this is the point of no return. Who is he kidding? He’s no champion of right. Is this what the new generation would look up to? Is this what anyone would look up to? To subvert LP’s words, he’s a villain; he’s not a hero. And he knows that better than anyone.

Launchpad’s words were meant to be uplifting and motivating, but all they did was make Jim realize he wasn’t cut out for the hero gig anymore. It doesn’t work anymore. He failed. But, maybe there was one last thing he couldn’t mess up. One last thing he could actually succeed at. One last thing he could make up for. Maybe, despite all his screw-ups, there was one last thing he could do before he threw in the towel for good. One last thing he NEEDED to do.

It’s here that Jim Starling’s hero identity died; this was his last good deed as Darkwing Duck. The fact Drake’s hat slips off before they both try to save Launchpad is poetic in a way; the captain goes down with the ship, just like Jim goes down with the hat. In his last moments, he was committed. He’d repaid Launchpad; if there was one last thing he could do before he sullied his biggest fan’s idolisation of him any further, it was save him. He went out a hero, something he’d been trying to prove this entire time, and this time permanently.

Now, honestly? There’s no telling where this development will lead. But even after making up to Launchpad for the terrible role model he’d been, Jim is still thinking of him. The fact he thinks it’s a set-up involving putting his ‘fan’ in danger means it was always going to lead to helping LP. He reminded him of the one trace of humanity and heroism that he had under all that resentfulness and bitterness. He was a hero; that’s what heroes do. Even Launchpad says to ‘do it for Jim’; he regards his actions quite fondly. I think Jim most likely has a soft spot for him.

But as I’ve said, Jim isn’t for this gig anymore. It really makes me wonder about the dynamic between these two now. Their relationship is so intriguing to me because of Launchpad’s optimistic views of heroism and Jim’s cynical change of alignment. Launchpad wanted him to be a hero, but he feels that he can’t be that anymore; he’s more suited to take the role of a villain. But there’s one scene in particular that stands out for me.

Launchpad getting through to him could actually be such a critical part of their dynamic; I can’t help but think this won’t be the first discussion between them, and that when they do meet up again, there’s going to be a lot of emotional turmoil between them both. Launchpad appeals to Jim’s better nature. It wouldn’t surprise me if he does so again, if he’s the link between Jim and Darkwing being one in the same again. But whether that happens? Whether or not Jim would be too far gone to listen to his fan? Who knows.

I mean, he really didn’t have to respond to these at all (especially considering the second one is more of a shitpost) but he did, and with that he also acknowledged this ship.

Suddenly a Genius, Suddenly a Fool

The stars shine especially bright in Drake’s eyes as he lies on the shoreline, gasping for breath. 

He shivers hard in the cold sand, the icy waves of Audubon Bay lapping at his waist, but he doesn’t have the energy to pull himself further onto shore. His muscles ache and burn with ice-cold fire and his vision swims, making the handful of stars peeking through the clouds and smog ripple like a disturbed reflection in a puddle of water. 

Pressure builds in his chest, and he forces himself onto his side to hack up a lungful of salt water onto the sand, scraping his throat raw. The smell makes his nose burn, but the tightness in his chest eases.

Though his ears are ringing, he hears a sound over the dull crashing of waves that steadily grows louder. 

“Drake? Drake, is that you?” 

He opens his beak to answer, but what comes out of his mouth is a harsh, rattling cough rather than words. All the same, it seems to do the trick. 

“Drake!” 

Footsteps in the form of crunching sand rush nearer, and soon the stars are blotted out by a far more beloved sight.
