Look, I just think it's VERY funny and on brand that I thought of an entire premise of colorful characters for half the cast and immediately drew the only one void of color.

saw somebody claim the stickybomb launcher was too ugly for demoman and he should use the half zatoichi instead. disgraceful thoughts like this should be punishable by death, perhaps by tying them to a rocket going into space

luca marinelli character FIGHT: FINAL ROUND

it's been a fun ride. our final round is exactly what i expected it to be when this whole thing began, but truly where else could it have ended. it is, of course:

the RULES of this hypothetical fight are as follows:

weapons are BANNED.

re: nicky's immortality, within the constrains of the fight if primo managed to kill him then the fight would end and primo would win, even if nicky got better. essentially i want the immortality factor to have as little effect as possible (but he retains the 900 years of experience

outside help is not allowed. this is a one on one luca character only cage match.

take the above as guidelines only if you have a funnier hypothetical scenario but to keep this fair please vote based on who would win the fight. i think this is more evenly matched than one may think instinctually

ARGUMENTS can be found below the cut

i'll be honest these are difficult to divide into pro nicky vs pro primo arguments so here they are anyway and you can decide

"Nicky arguably wouldn't kill you unless you're a threat/have done something seriously bad, while Primo would probably kill you for cutting him off in traffic. He's killed people out of sheer annoyance and spite which is a thousand times more dangerous." - @goldheartedsky

"Nicky would not have needed two shots to stop Bertollini's car. Just saying." - @astrabear

"Primo junkies tend to dwell most on his physicality and malice (for good damn reason). But his cunning is what ultimately makes for winning ways. And yet, …how could he outmaneuver Nicky’s near millennia of sheer experience. That priestly powerhouse has seen it all. And yet, …Primo’s drive seems able to overrun every possible obstacle. Can he win on that white hot will? Or will another left hook like bicycles or phone phobias scupper his schemes? The only possible way to win this all is if he could manage to sway another Old Guardian to betrayal. To get the jump on Nicky (not that kind of jumping on) the surprise must come from within. No way Primo has that level of science or magic or whatever to sway one now. Nicky takes it and doesn't feel the least bit sad about it." - anon (really appreciate the level of thought put into this submission)

primo may strike first but nicky would retaliate and that would be the end of it

primo may have killed a lot of people but nicky has killed significantly more over the course of like 1000 years

and MY argument: i think primo could do it. i think primo could react with enough sheer speed and surprise factor that nicky would be caught off guard. but then again. this is nicolo di genova we're talking about here. ultimately i think they're fairly well matched under the above constraints. so.

I forgot to post this haha (that's what being too busy with animation brings you oops) but anyway!! Older gussiri designs bc I think they deserved that (they did have designs in my mind but I had never made a reference for them haha)

Plus some notes on what they're up to at that age! They're so silly <333

actually before i go to sleep

giving Luz the same kinda shot composition here directly after finding out what happened to King and Eda (and telling Camila that she hasn’t changed her mind about returning back to Gravesfield after rescuing the two) while dressed as Azura (someone she admires) to when Philip arrived to the isles in search and rescue for Caleb (<- if getting there was accidentally or not does not matter) while dressed in his attire or at least clothes that resembles them, truly driving home the point of how similar the two of them are and how they really are just mirrors of the other

Quick question . For anyone who has a sideblog (or an ask blog) is it worth doing the "new blog" option thats linked to you main or is it better just to make an entirely new account

Do you think shinya is kind?

He is someone who won't really care a lot if he had to kill his captured teammates in a mission (not guren and. The squad) but that is only because otherwise they will be tortured and treated worse. Also he doesn't seem to care much abt himself, but then that's not really selfless, ryt?

So I wonder if he is selfless or kind?

that's an interesting question!

short answer: i don't think shinya himself is kind, but he does things that are. he can be selfless, but only within the limits of rationality.

long answer...

i think first we need to take a look at the difference between niceness and kindness. being nice solely means you are someone that is friendly towards others, treats them well and helps when they can. and shinya is nice! unlike the other high-ranking hiiragi, he's gentle and treats people fairly, causing him to be quite popular amongst the army.

being kind however goes more into your actual nature and intentions, implying that you treat them according to a genuine sense of compassion or empathy. and this is something shinya lacks.

a big part of his character is that he doesn't really feel much of anything. he grew up in a place in which feeling sympathy towards another person was quite literally a death sentence - so to allow him to survive, his mind had to adjust. since he is mostly incapable of feeling the things that cause a kind person to act the way they do, it's not necessarily a word i would use to describe him.

but he's not nice for personal benefit either. he's nice because he knows being kind is good, and this is something he learned over the course of catastrophe. he grew up entirely without kindness, but in watching guren, who was raised to live for others, realised that it's something the world needs. but because of his trauma, it's not something that comes naturally to him as it does to guren. instead, he has to make a conscious effort to be good to others, and he does so because he wants to be good.

the same thing counts for selflessness - he was raised to be selfish but taught himself that living for others is what gives life meaning, so he went from watching out only for himself to risking his own life to protect and support his friends.

none of it was given to him. he decided to change all on his own. and i think that's really cool.

Just finished s3 and I swear to god that Shules scene was even more insane than the almost-kiss moment holy FUCK

She actually fucking asked him out oh my god!!!!! But of course she had literally the worst timing in the history of the human race 😭😭

And that CHEEK KISS HOLY SHIT????? The way he closed his eyes to it and they were still closed when she rubbed her thumb over the spot she kissed,,,, absolutely insane

Basically what I’m saying is, current mood:

FINE bungie i'll admit it you got me with the old tower and cayde ok

[stonerzelda]

spiritfarer is a game i truly believe everybody should experience but as for myself i think i can only handle ever playing it once. Every now and again i remember it and i am instantly frozen under the weight of grief from the memory of each story alone. Pinned down and completely encumbered with emotion

[quarterdollar]

the game lichrally never brings up Cid's 5-year stint as an amnesiac grave-digger ever again after ARR but that doesn't mean I'VE forgotten and indeed i believe acknowledging these truths is the key to being a true Cid Garlond Understander. this shit is torturous

his misery is beyond layered
