After six years of writing with a very old fanfiction cover, I present a new cover for Dying Light: The Descent. (Below with progress lapse and a version with scarf down to show Freakazoid’s face)

If you’re interested in reading my fic, you can check it out on Ao3 and FFN.

I'd like to hear about Marble and the exact context behind her... unfortunate demise.

Why, yes - we absolutely can!

Let's start with this: Marble is a Wasp Bomber, by game terms. She is very competent in making and employing explosive charges. She is, in fact, so competent at making and employing explosive charges that she is capable of producing bombs that can melt a hole in a kaiju. She was also banned from military service for collateral damage before the Wasp King turned up.

Wasp Kingdom military attitudes tend to, overwhelmingly, be shaped by the environment they live in - they border on deadlands, but more specifically Northern deadlands, where them being classified as Deadlands because of the sheer number of hazards to bug life that they have around there meaning that anything that isn't specifically adapted to the environment will be incapable of surviving well enough for any children it might produce to not end up Lesser.

There are monsters. The Wasp Military is, on a regular basis, pitted against a very large number of Beasts of all sorts, which means that having a decent supply of bugs capable of fighting them off is a necessity. Pretty much any wasp with capacity to serve is set to work as some part of fighting forces at some point, be it out in the field or repairing equipment for those who can be out in the field. Conscription is very much mandatory, and it is considered a deeply important role and a core part of a wasp's duty in the hive to, at one point or another, contribute to the fighting fitness of the Hive.

This demand - and the need for bugs associated, especially when the general danger of the territory will lead to wasp lives lost even on very standard patrols, goes to the point that the Wasp Kingdom will actively pull from demographics that most kingdoms prefer to either avoid or keep out of the line of fire - drones, kept out of the line of fire in nearly every other kingdom, are drafted just as often as workers, and the Wasp Kingdom is just about the only kingdom to actively welcome brood parasites and random out-of-kingdom bugs for the potential strategic advantages that they may offer.

With this established, Marble was been banned from active service the Wasp military forces after approximately two months of service due to her flagrant disrespect of safety procedure and astronomically high risk of friendly fire. She is, in fact, not actually allowed to do mechanical work without supervision, because not keeping track of what she's doing has an extremely high risk of her including improvements that, even while working as intended, are capable of maiming or killing their users if mishandled even slightly.

Even if Marble herself is capable of handling her inventions safely, for the most part, the Wasp Kingdom under Vanessa was entirely unwilling to take that risk. As such, she was banned from military service, as she was deemed unsuitable for just about any other potential role available to her and no one was really willing to put her within reach of any sort of potentially volatile equipment that absolutely anyone else might handle, and she spent a few years mostly just hanging around Defiant Root and making friends with the inhabitants of the Black Market.

Hoaxe put her back into military service after taking over the Wasp Kingdom.

Unfortunately, a Marble who is being actively mind controlled by someone who doesn't know shit about bomb safety and is simply setting her to whatever will be most effective offensively is even worse at safety than a Marble who is creating highly volatile explosives constructed with the assumption that whoever is using them Also has exactly as much knowledge of her own work as her.

She blew herself up. Badly.

Technically, it wasn't immediately lethal - the specific bomb that did it wasn't something that would instantly vaporize her like some of the other options! It was, instead, a crowd-control weapon, which released a fucking massive amount of heat energy and cooked everything in a hideously wide radius to cinders.

Technically, there are forms of treatment available to Bugaria that could keep her from straight-up dying to that, if they got to her in three minutes or so - mostly just Gold save crystal restoration or flat-out replacing most of her body with charmcraft, and definitely not without major damage to just about every organ in her body. Depending on the specific circumstances that she blows herself up in, it might even be survivable - it's possible for her to die even while handling the bomb properly due to things like "it has an effective range that can be measured in human-size metres" and "Hoaxe is not an effective strategist". However, this is a very remote chance, and most of the time she just dies badly.

Thinking abt Jimmy and Joel in comparison to one another

Both are reckless, both act out to look bigger and stronger than they are, both of them start fights they can’t finish.

The main difference between them is their attitude towards their own survival. Jimmy always assumes he’s going to live. He has a determination to continue living despite how many enemies he’s made. Joel always assumes his time is limited, so he wants to enjoy life best he can while he’s still here. Denial vs acceptance, optimism vs nihilism

We see Jimmy acting recklessly many different ways, like burning the Dogwarts banner in front of Ren’s face, stealing the life from the trust circle, taking animals from around the server in DL, and of course all of LimL. Jimmy starts fights he mistakingly thinks he could win because he refuses to believe he can die.

Joel on the other hand, tends to go mad in the same way every time. He’s by no means a safe player but he will stay in his own lane until he’s forced out of it. He knows his position is volatile, even if he can hide it behind a shiny sword or axe. Once he goes down to red he figures he’s dead in the water as it is, may as well drag as many people down with him as he can. Joel starts fights he knows he can’t win as a last hurrah before he’s gone for good.

Two sides of the same coin :] (foils?)

Also, I do think in LimL Jimmy’s foolhardy determination rubbed off on Joel, so much to the point where Joel didn’t go mad until Jimmy was gone. He got that optimism from Jimmy and it died alongside him

Original undercut

Hair again... two vaguely similar styles, I guess. Io's textures, these 15 colors, & a base texture included in the zip if you want to recolor it.

Alesso Destiny: 16.8k poly, CF-EF, original mesh conversion by @rented-space. DOWNLOAD Anon's request! Sorry anon, I know you mentioned that you didn't love the highlight placement on other versions of this hair but I don't know if I actually improved it tbh -- I did my best, but the mapping didn't allow for how I'd have ideally liked it to look. I think it's OK enough though. Here's a back view.

LeahLillith Make Up: 12.1k poly, CF-EF, original mesh conversion by @peppermint-ginger. DOWNLOAD I found out about this hair because it was on the Default database as a replacement for fhairbarrette, so I also did a quick copy-paste of my retexture onto that default just in case anyone wants it, since it only came in poppet textures before. The colors for that are flash powder/depth charge/volatile/pyrotechnic/mail bomb. Original default file was by @plumbtales. DL DEFAULT
