Another Xenoblade commission! I have always wanted to do this pose...

I saw the new Melia outfit, and I knew I had to draw it

As a bit of levity, upon seeing the work in progress drawing of Agent Alex, Fran - @crazygnomenclature had this to say,

“🎵 Secret Aaaaagent Ma'am🎵”

Thank you, sometimes we need a bit of fun when discussing things that are extraordinarily not fun.

Sure, I’m technically allowed to work for the federal government… unless I was one of the trans people purged from the military… which was later ruled unconstitutional, so I suppose I could get that job… for now… but the damage to our transgender military personnel was already done; that ruling was far too late.

Beware the person who downplays what’s happening, and let’s go further, challenge them.  Yes, trans people are legally allowed to work government jobs, but when doing so requires them to be stripped of their life saving healthcare, are they really?

The messaging is clear: if you want to be part of the future that republicans are building, you must either strip yourself of your identity, or die.

Broken record as I am on this topic, it bears repeating:

Neutrality assists the oppressor.  If you’re part of a discussion where someone spouts this garbage and you don’t push back, you’ve given tacit approval to what they said.  If you remain friends with that person, you’re making the statement that bigotry is not a dealbreaker for you.

What kind of person do you want to be?  If transphobia, homophobia, racism, bigotry, etc. aren’t dealbreakers for you, are you that person?

The fact that it's slated for next year too, like holy hell no other studio does it like Monolith.

FACED MECHON?? DUH?? these would absolutely FUUUUCK as Bandai kits. The red lights on them could probably be clear parts backed with foil stickers, and something like Yaldabaoth could be painted gold like the MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0. Plus Xord could probably release as a “2 in 1” kit where there’s special parts to make Xord but also pieces just to make a regular mass-produced face.

SPOILERS FOR XENOBLADE 1 BELOW!!

The thing I’d want the most with these are scale pilots/cockpits inside of the model. I would loveee to paint up a tiny Mumkhar, Fiora, Gadolt, Egil, etc! Maybe Xord’s kit would come with tiny pieces for his brain and heart since mass-produced faces apparently don’t have full pilots inside but rather just the essential Homs organs.

Speaking of Fiora specifically. Mecha Fiora would also be like my dream girlpla to get officially. She is peak trans robogirl gender envy
