I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”
This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.
How I feel about this character
- I feel bad for poor Hank; he’s gotten kind of a shitty reputation over the years because of a misunderstanding between artist and writer (he was never meant to hit Janet in the original script) and instead of letting it kind of disappear into the mists of time (like they’ve done with the rape of Carol Danvers, and all those times Reed Richards hit Sue) they keep harping on it. I also feel like they try to outdo each other when it comes to making him crazy. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even like to read comics with Hank in them anymore because odds are very good that he’ll fuck a robot or do something crazy involving Janet.
- Janet, on the other hand, is lovely. I don’t really have any conflicted or super strong feelings about her. I think she’s awesome, and I’m glad she’s back because the Marvel universe needs more tiny, sassy ladies.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
- Part of me still kind of ships Hank and Janet, even though I know it’s terrible and would never work out. It just breaks my heart how much he’ll always love her. :( And EMH just kind of reinforced my Hank/Janet OTP. But I also ship Hank/Pietro (idk, don’t ask) and Hank/Clint. I don’t really ship Janet with anyone, tbh. It’s been so long since I read her in anything that I don’t know who she even works with anymore.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
- When I’m not busy shipping Clint and Hank, I love their friendship. And I bro-ship Janet with basically everyone, but especially Steve.
My unpopular opinion about this character
- I already wrote my big unpopular opinion about Hank, but here’s a few more, which I don’t actually know are unpopular, but which I suspect are: Hank and Janet should never get back together; I kind of miss when Hank was SUPER crazy and went around calling himself The Wasp; Hank is the best Ant-Man; Janet should use her giant powers more often.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
- I wish the domestic violence thing had never been an actual thing. I wish some editor somewhere had looked at the art and gone “Dudes, what the fuck is this, you can’t have Hank smacking his wife” and then they could have corrected the misunderstanding and then this whole sordid Hank and Janet thing never would have happened. Also I wish everything from Ultimates had never happened, because Ultimates is horrible bullshit.
Also I JUST FUCKING REALIZED THAT YOU SAID HANK MCCOY NOT HANK PYM BECAUSE MY BRAIN JUST KIND OF WENT “OH HANK AND JANET, OBVIOUSLY THAT MEANS PYM” so dude if you wanna send me a separate ask about Hank McCoy please feel free, as I am clearly a total fucking moron.
Carol Danvers
How I feel about this character
- I love her. She’s definitely one of the best female characters we’ve got in comics right now. I just love her attitude, I love that she’s proud and determined and takes no shit and does what has to be done. She reminds me a lot of my father (which sounds weird, but he’s a pilot too, and you have to be a certain type of person to do that shizz) and so I have a lot of respect for the character.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
- Jessica Drew and Rhodey. <3
My non-romantic OTP for this character
- I bro-ship her with Steve, Tony, and Peter Parker. Also, Wendy Kawasaki and Monica Rambeau.
My unpopular opinion about this character
- I don’t think I really have any…
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
- All I want from Carol right now is for her to a) fight Moonstone and b) date either Rhodey or Jess, I’d be happy with either.
Give me a character
and I’ll break their ass down:

Warren stares at important work. Warren must concentrate and summon intellect. CUT TO: INSIDE WARREN’S BRAIN:
More dwarves :B Just Thorin and Dwalin this time, though. I wanted to try something where the main shapes were simplified and stylized (inspired by bridgioto’s Secret of Kells styled dwarves), but I wanted to try rendering within the stylized shapes to an extent. Simplifying the shapes while maintaining the general feel of the characters was really reeeeeally hard for me. I had to really fight with myself to not break up some of those big outlined curves, gah.
I dunno. Fun experiment, anyway. :)
edit: I probably won’t do many more. maaaaaaybe a Gandalf. Not sure.

I forgot what this was from for a moment and thought it was a gif set of Jonathan Crane weeping while he tried to microwave a pinwheel.
