#yautjas

I mean tbh..😆 they do look like strippers compared to Dek’s design (idk if its just me but The older movies intentionally made them to have some sex appeal of some sort)

People saying that is Deks dad or his brother idk which one but for me I like to think it's his brother so I could draw shit like this-

I may have changed Deks design a bit from how I originally drew him...;ÓvÒ

Doodle before bed, have some Ruin

I gotta add the armor and weapons tomorrow when I wake 🩵✨️

(EDIT: I hurt myself with this post so please let me elaborate (and make it worse)) :

SPOILERS FOR BADLANDS BELOW

Dek and Faramir:

-Both Faramir and Dek are the younger brother, always in the shadow of their big brother. Never good enough for their father. (Too small, too weak, not skilled enough, useless, worthless) their goal is to prove their worth

-they have a good relationship with their big brother who they love and admire

-Denethor as well as Deks father tries to kill their younger son (for different reasons but still, one might argue Deks father is more evil while Denethor is just insane)

-Absent mothers (Faramir and Boromirs mother died and Deks and Kweis is not around much either I assume)

-they both meet a blond woman that gives them hope and helps them heal from their trauma. In fact Eowyn and Faramir help each other heal and so do Thia and Dek

Kwei and Boromir:

-Kwei and Boromir are both leaders. Strong, skilled, great warriors and their fathers have great expectations for them (it wasn’t elaborated in badlands but considering their father tasked Kwei with the murder of his younger brother it’s needles to say that he has big things in mind for him)

-they’re both “perfect”, what a good soldier, warrior, hunter should be like

-they love their brothers more than anything

-they both stand up to their fathers. Boromir in the deleted scene of the two towers calling Denethor out for always treating Faramir like he’s not good enough and Kwei as he protects Dek in the beginning of the film and acts against his fathers orders. And they both refuse tasks that go against their conscience (Boromir, at first, refused to go to the council because he didn’t want to leave his home and Kwei refused the order of killing Dek and instead wanted to send Dek onto his first hunt)

-there is no competition between Boromir and Faramir and between Kwei and Dek. Neither of the pair were rivals which, I’d argue, is rather rare. They chose each other over their fathers.

-both tried to get their fathers to see the worth of the younger brother. Boromir repeatedly tried to convince Denethor to give Faramir a chance, talked about how well he does on missions. And Kwei tried to convince their father to send Dek on a hunt and not just kill him because he’s worth something

-they both would die for their brother (Kwei did as he protected Dek. And Boromir died for the hobbits as he protected them and we all know he would have died for Faramir as well as Merry and Pippin are “stand ins” for his little brother at this point). They both knew they were going to die when they interfered but they did it anyways. They kept fighting despite their grave injuries and they didn’t do it out of honour or duty but out of love.

Like on one side you have enjoyers ranging from just really enjoying some of the films to being deep into the lore, books and comics. However this side just focuses on what is already established and they don't delve any deeper than that really.

A lot of this side of the fandom (from what I've observed and correct me if im wrong), tends to be streight cis men who like the "testosterone fulled action," of the franchise. Usually, they're also the type to claim that the yautja have a patriarchal society, and theyre usually the ones that make the bad gooner art of the females, but never dare to draw them without their helmets (cowards).

And then you have the girlie pop side, that is obsessed to the point of engaging in fanfiction, x reader/oc stuff, yautja OCs etc. The fan content here tends to be much more engaging and fun, and usually we make yautja society more matriarchal (as it should be) and the gooner art we do make tends to be tasteful and actual monster fucker material. Need i say any more about this side?
