While watching through all of Slayers (yes, ALL of it), I was reminded of how much I love Xellos, so I started doodling. I actually do mean to finish this, but I’m not sure when that will happen, so here’s an in progress photo. Not anything super impressive, but he’s such a fun guy to draw! Maybe some Lina cosplay photo updates soon, too?
100 Favourite Anime Opening/Ending:

Can we all please take a moment to appreciate Hagrid here? Seriously, everyone always talks about how Harry has no father figure and how terrible it was for Sirius to die because now Harry’s all alone (dont get me wrong, Sirius is my favorite character) but honestly, Hagrid is the best father Harry ever had. He did so much for him, and no one, sometimes not even Harry realizes that. Hagrid gets no where near the mount of credit he deserves. Take a minute and try to imagine where Harry would be with out him and you’ll understand what im talking about.
I think JKR said it was really important to her that Hagrid carried him out of the forest, because he carried him to safety when he was a baby. Hagrid has been there since the beginning, and he was also there at the culmination of Harry’s journey. He’s always cared SO MUCH and been really open with Harry for the most part, which is something Harry needs since people tend to keep secrets from him. Yeah, he’s irresponsible with the monsters, but all of Harry’s father figures were pretty irresponisble, and Hagrid was definitely like, the most solid and reliable out of all of them. And he never left.
im crying
Hagrid was also most like a parent in his correction of Harry. For Sirius and Molly, Harry could do no wrong. Dumbledore saw Harry’s flaws, but he depended on them for his own plans to work.
But Hagrid saw Harry for exactly who he was, good and bad. He was the first to publicly defend Harry’s innocence anytime he got blamed for something he didn’t do; but he was also the first to call Harry out on his treatment of Hermione in PoA. He is consistently honest and forthright in addressing Harry’s behaviour and choices, and always acts in the way he believes will be best for Harry’s growth and especially for his moral development.
Harry is the man he is because of Hagrid. No one else did that for him.
Awesome point, awesome awesome.

The crew was having way too much fun.
We have white board cabinets at our animation studio. Here’s just some of the INSANELY AWESOME artwork that gets drawn on them :)
Nailed it.
[blahlisa: It was done, and I hope it is to your (and others) satisfaction. What a brilliant idea for a gifset too! Now to do those Valgaav gifs I just haven’t gotten around to yet — sorry, Knives!! :( ]
