I didn't have anything new to add for the Takeover today but I have this old Shadowpeach doodle from a while back to offer all the same. @kyri45 has an amazing comic that is honestly the main reason I returned to Tumblr so I could read it. Absolutely top peak writing and artwork that I'm sure every Monkie Kid fan has been reading (but if you haven't, now's the time!)
I haven't uploaded to my tumblr in years! Anyhow, just shy of two years back one of my besties showed me Monkie Kid and it kind of became something super special to me. Re-kindling my love of Journey to the West (I still remember the 1996 Dicky Cheung version on TV when I was growing up in Hong Kong) and spurring a love for drawing the LMK characters. Been lucky enough to meet a lot of fellow fans at cons around the country too. Most of my stuff gets shared on my Instagram, but I'll try to slowly move some of them over here too. I'm still doing everything with inks and markers, because I am stubborn but also still slow with digital media.

While I still wish that Troy Baker had been Rhys’ VA for this game I think Ray Chase did a wonderful job portraying this leggy idiot that we love. I was honestly a little scared for a hot second to hear what he sounded like because I was just like… how drastically might his voice change? But it honestly wasn’t that bad and I can’t wait to hear what else comes from this man through the game. Rhys is still a giant dork and while he may be a smart man and a bit of a jackass he ain’t always the wisest man around. I love him.

“…with how Rhys appears in the game…”
Interesting.
My guess is that perhaps they didn’t want to pay Troy’s rates to hire him...in which case I would prefer an honest answer. Troy’s clearly said over and over to many fans and interviews how much he loves Rhys and Tales and wanted to play Rhys in BL3. :(

I may hate FPSs but Borderlands is a good fucking game and I will defend the whole goddamn franchise to my grave

Like…I don’t think you understand how much I love Borderlands. I may not post about it a lot, but those games are honestly some of the best, if not the best, games on the market today.
It has a shocking amount of diversity for its genre:
(The player characters for BDL1 including a black man, a woman, and a latino man.)
(The player characters for BDL2 including a bisexual man (which is shown in canon, not just confirmed by the devs), an asexual woman (who is also confirmed to be the leader), another latino man, a nonbinary person, a disabled girl genius, and Krieg.)
(The player characters for The Pre-Sequel including a disabled man, a robot, a lesbian woman (who ends up in a relationship with another woman by the end of the game), an older black woman, a millennial, and an Indian woman.)
(And I’m also including Ellie in here because she’s a fat woman who is confident in herself and isn’t made into a joke and you get to kill a bunch of people who try to make fun of her)
…and doesn’t fall into the trap of being “gritty” and “realistic” by making a bleak, beige landscape. While the world of Pandora is a hellhole, it looks honestly awesome.
It’s colorful and vibrant, with amazing characters and it’s hilarious, but doesn’t shy away from darker moments. (Spoilers in links)
It’s a masterpiece of gaming and everything a game could and should be.

I love everything about this post. Most of all I love Tim being described as ‘a millenial’.
“and Krieg.”
