Why Does The CANON KNOWN R@pist Get A Whole Page To Himself!?!?

arthur (in front of the entire court of camelot): i'd like to introduce the love of my life, the reason i keep living, and the biggest fucking headache i've ever had. merlin.

MERLIN REWATCH ✦ 1.05 Lancelot

happy merlin finale anniversary to all who mourn celebrate!

thinking about how in the coming of arthur merlin said he had sent for lancelot and lancelot said he knew merlin too well to know when he was lying. so they were absolutely in communication before then since their only interactions were in two episodes before that, which is hardly enough time to be able to tell when someone is lying or not. now im thinking about mercelot writing love letters between seasons 2 and 3 and falling in love without realising it.

Another scene that fueled me as a Merleon shipper

I LOVE HOW LEON DOESNT EVEN THINK OF THE POSSIBILITY OF MERLIN DOING SOMETHING EVIL.

AND HE WAS SO HAPPY TO GIVE MERLIN THE CROSSBOW.

I just saw abel design in the new Christmas pic, and I have to say, I did not expect him to be blonde

> I like his color palette

> Not gonna lie, He looks like that band kid that you sometimes have a chill chat with whenever you need someone to talk to

Now, my friend and I talk about abel design when the leaks came out. And we were not the biggest fans on him looking like a copy and paste of adam.

So, him being blonde is not the bad thing. It is just the fact it feels like we have a lot of blonde characters already. Why not give other colors a try.

I did black, brown, and ginger-brown hair colors to see how which one looked on him

> I did black because a lot of people think/headcannon eve has black hair color

> did brown for adam hair color

> I also did ginger-brown hair color since people also think/headcannon eve has this hair color

And out of the entire bunch, I have to say ginger-brown is my favorite! It matches the overall vibe of his character, and it goes great with his color palette.

Making Valentines merch of your ship that's mainly focused around abuse, S/A, and class/racial discrimination (where the lower-class, implied POC is seen as chained to his abuser) as a cop and prisoner (with the victim being the cop and the abuser being the prisoner) is...a choice...

Not necessarily a good one...

also the pixeled-out bit on Blitz's side is just 🤢

Merlin : Here's some advice

Leon: I didn't ask for any?

Merlin : Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who’s still alive.

When we think of our favorite character, we all think of the specially the color associated with that character.

_______

Examples:

Sonic - blue

Batman - black

Deadpool - red + black

The Simpsons - yellow

The iron giant - gray

Joker - purple

Princess peach - pink

____

I try to choose some very popular characters. But still, as you can see, the dominant color aspect of their character is very much there.

The reason why it is important to add the dominant color to characters:

● It helps people recognize that character instantly

● Plus, if you are going to be really official, it can help with branding your character, like how companies try to do with their brand recognition.

_____

While hazbin Hotel just sticks with the same colors (which it is completely fine, i will explain later). All the main characters have their dominant color as red, white, black, or pink.

_____

Examples:

Alastor - red

Angel - pink + white

Charlie - red

Husk - black

Lucifer - white + pink

Cherry bomb - pink + red

Vaggie - gray + red

Sir pentious - black

Nifty - red

____

I try to stick with the main cast, and as you can see, they all have either red, white, pink, or black going on for their dominant color.

Now, it is completely fine if you use the same dominant colors for your characters. A good example of this is Spiderman across the spider verse.

All of the spidermans share the colors of blue + red, but for miles and gwen. Miles is red + black, while gwen is white + pink.

But what makes the characters look unique despite sharing the same color palette. Are the backgrounds!

____

Spider verse backgrounds

All the backgrounds I choose have a purple/blue theme going on, but they still have colors that make them pop enough to have both the characters themselves stick out while also leaving you with drop-dead gorgeous backgrounds!

Seriously, look at miles! The background really made him pop out while keeping the background unique as well!

_______

Hazbin hotel backgrounds

The Hazbin hotel backgrounds are good! But I feel like something is missing. Since the backgrounds and the characters are the same colors, the characters don't pop at all.

Look at lucifer at the bottom picture. Yes, he pops out, but he still looks like he is blending in with the background rather than sticking out.

I mean, look at the yellow lamp at the right. The lamp is sticking out more than the character.

_______

Final takes:

The amount of detail in the Spiderman backgrounds is crazy. I do understand that for animation purposes, the backgrounds have to be simpler in Hazbin Hotel.

Overall, I just suggest you don't overuse the same colors for your characters, BUT if you absolutely have to! Please don't make your background the same color! It won't make your character pop, nor it would look good unless you know what the heck you are doing.

I have a feeling that episode 5 will turn out to be either okay or straight out bad.
