This user blesses the rains down in Africa

Ok so I just realized that the DnD scene has lots of tributes to the 80s She-Ra.

Here:

In the original 80s She-Ra Catra’s Helmet allows her to turn into a cat.

In Bow’s plan she turns into one as well

There’s a dragon in the 80s She-ra and Bow’s got a little dragon guy here

Here’s 80s Bow

Here’s Bow in Bow’s plan

All the Princesses are dressed in their 80s versions 

Glimmer

She-Ra

Frosta

Mermista

Perfuma

Bow’s Catra also has the same horrible voice and meows that the original does.

He allowed me to post them here for people who might need references

Each kingdom is a combination of two real world cultures (and then others sprinkled in) while also some creative liberties on my part

Hearts: India and US (with some Turkish architecture)

Diamonds: France and Russia (pre-revolutinary) (with Germany as well escepically for the palaces/castles and some Scandinavia)

Spades: Spain and UK (some Ireland and Portugal)

Clubs: China and Japan (a little of Korea and Switzerland)

Jokers: Ethiopia and Egypt (Shara desert since the majority of Jokers is just a desert with some oasis’ here and there that make up settlements)

Some of these cultures were really hard to research especially the time period I wanted to set the world in and we all know why that is (colonialism) so with that in mind I do have to change stuff and help fit in the world. You will also notice (especially in Clubs) how there are usually two types of fashion/styles of clothing in each kingdom.

Kai: “I can’t believe Shun would do something like this!” *Stares at bikinis for him in delivery box*

You: “Really? I can.”

but I can’t

becuz the drawing in my head requires bunch of reference photos

and i hate looking at ref photos

Habits and references “Digimon tri” Today: Koushirou/Izzy Izumi

I collected some habits from the preview Digimon series that are still used in Digimon tri..here are some habits that Koushirou/ Izzy shows.

1. Oolong tea love. During adventure 01 and 02 there are no hints about that tea love..so where is it from? Anwser: Digimon movie “Our war games” and “Diaboromon strikes back”. We can see Izzy drinking very much tea..especially in “our war games” when Izzy is leaving all Digimonfight behind cause he couldnt hold it any longer..hahaha. In tri he praises his beloved drink and drinks it like water or...coffee...well its healthy after all.

2. Endless talking about something. Well..Izzy was very talkactive during adventure 01 and 02. You can hear him talking reeeeally much in episode 07 from adv. 01 when he and Tentomon are inside the factory..poor Tentomon (and in the episode with Mimi a little bit). During season 02 is a very funny moment as well which shows his endless speech..Izzy is mad because Tai and Daisuke used the Digigate all by themselves..its already night and Izzy is a little bit pissed. First he is angry with tai and than talks and talks about some information he got while nobody is lisitening. In tri he loves to talk even more...

3. (Pine)apple...of course Izzy uses a Mac/Apple computer. Everyone who uses a Mac knows the difference. Well...you can see the “pineapple” symbol everywhere in adventure 01 and 02. On the laptop, boxes, logos...I wonder if this is a mac commercial XD. In tri he still uses a mac/apple..now a macbook version in silver

4.Relationsship Komi - Yes. Koushiro is showing interest in Mimi. During adventure 01 he doesnt seem to like her too much...a japanese magazinze showed the thoughts and relations between the Digimembers. Between Koushiro/Izzy and Mimi was a arrow whith the term ”Mimi is a person with a strange way of thinking”. In the movie Diaboromon strikes back Mimi loved to tease Koushiro/Izzy. She was annoyed that he doesnt greeded her and put books on his head after he fell asleep...well and in tri Mimi seems to enjoy to tease Koushiro/Izzy even more. He seems to be in love/crush on but Mimi doesnt take it seriously I think...

5. Trash everywhere. Well tha habit is from the digimon movie as well...during Diaboromn strikes back we see empty teabottles everywhere...even if in adventure 02 his room is really organized. maybe mommy was cleaning? XD

6. Discussion between Tai and Izzy about “We are no longer a group” - Movie Our war game again...nearly the same discussion like in tri episode 1 exists in that movie as well. Izzy is installing the PC from Tais dad and says “Really..is that so,,?” while Tai is complaining about the fact that the Digidesined are no longer a strong bond.

Im preatty sure that there are more habits but I wondered that so many references are from the movie XD.
