Hi, I’m Basil!

I’m a nerd who draws and writes! I use any pronouns except she/it (yes this includes neopronouns and xenopronouns.)

I’m in a lot of fandoms but I mainly post about Kingdom Hearts, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Sonic, Omori, and Ouran High School Host Club. I do post about other things though.

A quick warning, if you are especially sensitive to gore, horror, or images of insects, this blog is probably not for you.

DNF:

-General DNI criteria (homophobic, racist, etc)

-Posts NSFW. (Mainly here because I am a minor.)

-If you ship canonically aroace characters

Programs I use:

Drawing and animation: Krita, but sometimes Ibis Paint X or Flipaclip

Editing: Video editing is done in Capcut while images are edited in Pixlr E

Some things to note:

-I’ll probably block you when you follow me if your blog is completely blank.

-I am always okay with criticism as long as it is constructive and you are kind about it.

-I usually don’t mind if people interpret ship art I do as platonic or romantic. As long I don’t see the ship as problematic or hate the ship I won’t mind. This means I usually don’t mind if you tag as ship.

Charlotte from Samurai Shodown is a super interesting character in that she is inspired by a real-life assassin from the French Revolution as well as Oscar from Rose of Versailles. And both Charlotte and Oscar share some parallels to the Chevalier d'Eon, a French knight who transitioned back in 1777. And it might seem like Samurai Shodown strips Charlotte of any queerness or transness, and to an extent it does... save for her ending in Samurai Shodown II, where she chops off her long hair, allegedly because she needs to train more. Symbolically, though, she's removing herself of one of the signifiers of femininity in a moment that's actually pretty open to interpretation. It's also just a beautiful moment to see in a video game, of a character taking control of the way they present to the world.

This is something I talk about at length in my new video game project, Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games, where I go deep into where elements of classic video games come from and how much culture gets packed into them. I hope you give it a read!
