[Mimi Poster]

The silly little Mimi, what mischief shall it unleash

I'd happily stick this poster up on my wall or at a theatre - its simple, straightforward, gets the point across and is cute as hell, that's my thoughts.

Oozes '50s sci-fi charm, too, and suggests this small fry's no harm.

[stray thoughts]

The border feels like its closing in on the poor guy. I can see a sign on the top-right, but I can't work out what it says - like its being actively hidden from me.
Guy's eyes look fearful, too. He's alone with stray thoughts - and not the good ones.

[Adventures Forgotten]

In a desolate field, Finn stands utterly alone.

I can feel this piece's loneliness in my soul.

[Oh hey it's john homestuck in 2024]

holy shit john "homestuck" egbert (egbert is his last name IIRC)

Looks pretty happy to be here - comfy-looking Air-themed robes and all. (Not sure of his title, but I'm pretty sure his element was air)

Clouds are nice, but the distinct purple of the planet/moon Derse stands out. (I'm pretty sure that's Derse - not sure what the chessboard planet John's on is called)

[POV: You're BF]

You can tell from the visuals Astroknight's putting his entire goddamn body into that punch.

You can also tell he's looking Boyfriend dead in the fucking eyes whilst preparing to send him to the stars - no visible face in the visor necessary.

'Least he's getting to see a nice flowing scarf before getting his jaw turned into dust.

[Uzico]

...well, that's a pretty interesting inversion of the standard Pico formula. Uzico looks just as confused as I am looking at this.

[The Legendary Kingdom Hearts Light]

Let's see...I can see the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda, Peach's crown, and Ruby Rose's symbol/crest. The crescent moon's making me think of Sailor Moon, but that's a complete guess. The other three I have zero clue on.

Does seem there's a general theme of power/purity going through it (rather fitting for KH :P) - Ruby Rose is a straight-up hero with some serious silver-eyed powers, the Triforce gives omnipotence to anyone whose heart is sufficiently pure and balanced (everyone else needs to find two random destiny-touched individuals to get their wishes granted), and Peach is a cinnamon roll who's occasionally shown some impressive powers (mainly in the spinoff games).

Love the divine gold-and-white colour scheme for this - fitting for the Light part of this equation.

Hypno-Scream responds:

Thanks! Yeah, each of the circles is meant to relate to a "Princess of Heart" in my work, Peach, Zelda, and Ruby being among them.

[The Legendary Kingdom Hearts Dark]

Let's see...I can see the Gerudo symbol from Ocarina of Time, the Puppet's mask from FNAF, and Tron Bonne's skull symbol. The paintbrush is making me think of Kirby, but that's a pure guess on my part. The flower's probably Daisy's, given Peach's crown is on the Light version of this pic. The winged ruby and the robot in the centre, I've got zero clue on.

I can sense a general theme of antiheroism/villainy going through your choices:

* The Gerudo end up filling a villain and a hero role for OoT - on one end, Ganondorf acts as the game's main villain, responsible for wrecking Hyrule's shit, whilst on the other end, Nabooru, working with the rest of the Six Sages, seals Ganondorf's ass in the Sacred Realm after (depending on the timeline) Link either beats his ass into next week or dies facing him and becomes an impromptu Triforce Delivery Service in the process.
* Tron Bonne's a pirate in a family of them who's ping-ponged between serving as a hero and a villain
* The Puppet's a murdered-child turned Major Fucking Problem(tm) for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, who gave the animatronics life and killed night guards left and right in an attempt to send William Afton's ass to Hell and put his victims' souls to rest.

The only one which doesn't fit that's Daisy, who instead acts as a tough tomboyish foil to everyone's favourite cinnamon roll, Peach.

Love the moody purple/pink(?) colour scheme for this - fits the Darkness part of this equation.

Hypno-Scream responds:

Thanks! The theme here with the circles is "Princesses of Shadow". While Princesses of Heart have hearts of pure light, these ones have hearts of pure darkness, but dark doesn't always mean evil, especially in this case. The Puppet and Tron Bonne are aren't truly evil despite their actions, Daisy does at least have a more hot-blooded and brash personality to contrast with Peach, Riju leads the Gerudo and may have some feelings of heavy burden given the Gerudo's history, especially their relation to Ganondorf. Their hearts may be devoid of light, but that doesn't mean they're evil or comparable to someone like Afton or Ganondorf.

The two symbols you pointed to relate to other franchises (The robot emblem is Murder Drones and the jewelry with wings is Darkstalkers)

[Sunce.]

I don't know a shred of Croatian, but I do know what the full power of the sun feels like.
It feels like pain. And dehydration. The sun in that pic definitely reflects that. As is the overwhelming light coming out of it.

*quickly uses Google Translate*
Can definitely agree on the ice cream part - had a nougat wafer whilst out for my birthday yesterday and it was goddamn delicious.

[Apple Ghost Redux]

Excellently rendered, and delicious-looking as all hell apple.
Love the paper label on the side, and its glowing eyes - not to mention the cute slice coming out its side.

Love the sharp shadow and the soft shading - plus the solid shine and the glowing eyes, your lighting's amazing!
