✨⚡Determined Warrior ⚡✨

Here's Kookie's Main Theme, composed by the amazing @MacroBrake, which is inspired by Sonic Forces' Moonlight Battlefield (Aqua Road level)!

This piece speaks about somebody who fights for their freedom and is brave enough to fight the chains that stop them from becoming stronger against oppression! That's who Kookie is, a survivor of oppression, who is against Eggman and his evil deeds!

Artwork inspired and used for the music video below as well!

bro I'm gonna explode

q!philza is always shocked when people build their houses next to him, move into his basement, trust his judgement and advice, trust him with their lives

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST

the new member's first memories of this server are gonna be how you gave them waypoints, then money so they could use them, then explained the bounty system, then swooped in like a guardian angel when one of the players was downed all by herself

AND EVERY NEW MEMBER IS TREATED SIMILAR BY YOU

ANYTIME ANYONE ON THE SERVER NEEDS HELP, YOU SWOOP IN, AVOCADO TOAST IN HAND

I just wanna shake q!philza by the shoulders and yell in his self-depreciating face "YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON AND YOU ARE LOVED!"

The chain gets separated during a portal jump and luckily almost everyone is at one spot except Wind and they are on the fucking death mountain

All links are stuck and Wild quickly uses fire resistance potions for the members with no fire resistance like warriors while everyone frantically tries to find wind

Just to see wind speak to a random goron and with no fire protection whatsoever (the goron is extremely happy because hylians rarely go to the top of the mountain and happily gives him a tour trough their whole town)

And he seems fine

Because the hero of the winds disregards the laws of nature and apparently shooting an ice arrow at the ground ever so often is enough

And then the entire chain is just questioning what the hylians of wind's Hyrule are even made of

LIKE HOW !?!?

You are wearing nothing that could protect you and you BURN IN LAVE BUT THE HEAT DOES NOT BOTHER YOU OR WHAT

You are inside a literal volcano and all you do is shot a single ice arrow

What is the hero of the winds made off

Penelope & Paris

Since Odysseus is wolf-coded, I wanted to make Penelope & Paris feline-coded.

Penelope embodies the sharp, predatory aspects of it, i.e. in her tied up hair, upturned eyes & pointy ears. I also imagine her bun is coiled to resemble a shell as a reference to her naiad nature. Her armor is based on the Hades game designs.

Paris however is the soft, smug aspects of it, i.e. his loose hair, downturned eyes & the cheshire quality to his smile. I tried to make his hair resemble a sheep as a homage to his shepherd origins & a visual representation in line with his personality.

As always, those who manage to spot certain other details get a cookie🍪.

3 y/o Damian: Fight me!

LoA's Jason: Ha! Look at you! What are you going to do? Bite me in the ankle?

*Some minutes later *

Ra's Al Ghul: Uh... Why is the Red Hood bleeding and crying on the ground?

Talia: Damian bit him very hard in the ankle.

Kittypet Sandstorm AU!

I think this is honestly my favorite Sandstorm design I've made. Simple really is better sometimes.

Fireheart being so much bigger than her feels lowkey cursed but he is the son of Tigerclaw soo. Also he looks like his grandpa so fun times all around.

This is Dune, a dino character that Stargate525 commissioned me to draw! They gave me creative freedom, and since this guy had a huge sword, I thought it was criminal that there wasn't a cool shot of him in a battle stance yet. :3

Chapters: 1/3 [20k] Rating: E Summary:

Beatrice knows that magic only comes at a price. It has ingredients - black powder and diamonds, blood and soot and salt and sand and water. It makes you ask for what you want. When she finds her way into the Soltryce Academy, sore from the road and from the world, this seems like an easy price to pay.

There, she meets Lilith and Ava, who love her despite everything she is, and all three of them catch the eye of a visiting mage who sees the potential in so much power so delicately entangled. He takes them away, turns them into weapons, soldiers, blades, brave girls fighting an invisible war to protect the Empire.

But every blade has its breaking point, and every love story has an ending.

///

“I don’t want to go,” Ava had protested when Lilith half-dragged her out of bed, when she fetched her swords from her own chambers and when she saddled her horse. She tried it with Beatrice, mouth on her collarbone, pressing her into the stall while Doubt, her horse, whickered and shuffled around. A big dark shadow hiding all but the shine in Ava’s eyes from her.

“I don’t want to go” as Beatrice put her hands in Ava’s hair, tongue in her mouth hand up her shirt. As they mounted, Ava’s swords knocking her knees and making her hiss. She’d smiled when Beatrice’s familiar, a brown and black racoon, scrambled up to perch on the saddle behind her, but her unhappy expression returned as Lilith strode out into the courtyard looking very pretty in her greenish brown leathers, a rapier strapped to her hip.

Ava’s frown was very beautiful too, unfortunately.

She’d repeated her little sentence – “I don’t want to go” - all the way down the main road until Lilith shushed her and guided them off into the trees. They were already close to the border, to Bladegarden and their enemy over the mountains. Beatrice, twitchy from lack of sleep, kept seeing figures in the trees. Kryn, wearing their horrible insectoid armour, all mandibles and smooth carapace and damp-dark metal.

Lilith made them ride for hours, until dawn touched the tips of the trees and the forest became a strange landscape of rattling branches and dappling light. The poorest rider out of the three, Ava was by then sitting slumped over her saddle, chin on her mare’s neck.

“We’re close,” Lilith’s sepulchral tone was the first sound to break since dawn besides the huffing of their horses and the birds in the trees. She pushed some foliage aside with a gesture, making her mage hand the same colour as the leaves and the branches; an illusion so convincing that Beatrice could only see it because she knew it was there.

Even sweaty, even with bruises beneath her eyes from lack of sleep and a love bite blooming on the side of her neck, Lilith looked perfectly at ease astride her stallion. He was tall, moody, solid as stone underneath her. Lilith dug her heels in and guided them forward to a clearing that bore signs of very old campfires as little bald patches in the grass.

“We’ll sleep here,” she’d announced, like Ava and Beatrice were under her charge; like they were her soldiers.

Probably because she knew it would make Ava roll her eyes and slide down off her horse with absolutely languid grace. “Why thank you Lily – I mean sir, I mean ma’am. I mean my lady.” Ava saluted and this too was lazy, boyish and this, too, made Lilith shift in her saddle and fuss with her sword.

“No need to be cruel,” she’d said softly, which put Ava in her place. She rubbed her hand along Lilith’s thigh, cooing to her stallion as she passed by to gather wood from the ground nearby.

“Sorry.”

“Everything else, just not the honorific.”

It didn’t start out terribly. They slept through most of the day in that little clearing. Beatrice went round and round with her spool of copper wire, casting an alarm spell very slowly. It took ten minutes, during which she listened to Ava and Lilith, the low hiss of their voices like familiar music as they argued about building a campfire.

“I’m not giving away our location just so you can oversalt another stew.”

“It’s not my fault that the salt comes in big chunks. And anyway, it’s better than tasting the slimy water you summon.”

Eventually, Beatrice sat down and summoned the magical dome she used, ordinarily, only when they were sleeping somewhere dangerous. She peed first, stepping away with Lilith’s eyes on her back, her racoon padding behind to keep watch over her. Once she made the dome, she couldn’t leave it. She was its anchor.

The little sphere seemed to shimmer into being when she cast it, as the bead of crystal in her palm disappeared, swelling up around them. It flashed like a coin disappearing into Ava’s palm and dampened the sounds of the forest just a little.

Softly, from her cross-legged position, jacket laid out underneath her, Beatrice had said, “The spell maintains the atmosphere inside, so it will… banish the smoke, I suppose. I’m not entirely sure where it goes.”

Lilith had kissed her, in passing, while Ava built a little structure out of dry kindling even though she didn’t need to do that at all. Prestidigitation could make a campfire even out of the soggiest wood. But Ava liked the game of it; getting splinters in the pads of her fingers and trying to suck them out, cursing in a singsong voice. She liked blowing on the smoke until it puffed out, until the fire finally caught.

“I did it!” she crowed once she’d managed it, and Lilith scoffed, and Beatrice smiled.

When they woke up that night it was in a tangle of blankets, to the barest whiff of woodsmoke. Beatrice had turned the walls of her dome into a mimicry of the night sky so that they could sleep during the daylight hours, leaving peepholes for when Lilith inevitably woke and wanted to peer outside at the horses and the empty clearing.

Beatrice, only half-wake, had melted into the weight of Lilith’s mouth – hungry, by then, for a hint of softness as chilly wind hooked around the outside of the dome. It was pleasant inside – almost warm where Ava had stretched out next to her, between them. It was almost ridiculous how Lilith leaned over her and played with her hair as she kissed Beatrice with near-abject need.

“I don’t know what we’re walking into,” she’d said secretly into the hollow of Beatrice’s open, aching mouth. “Look after this idiot, alright?”

“Who looks after you?”

To this, Lilith had made no reply.

Hyrule is banned for justified reasons

Fanfic prompt: Any advice Hyrule offers is considered a war crime

And the real reason why he isn’t allowed into towns is the fact that he has shared them on multiple occasions with overly curious children

Like he knows about the monster version of the birds and the bees and only monster but not the hylian version

And Wild and wind where curious

So now the oldest links have to try and fix the fact that both of them are considering monster courtship the only right way

The saddest and most painful part for the chain is the fact that Tetra apparently had appreciated wind gifting her the heads of her enemies

So now he is absolutely committed to the strategy

Wild was stopped before he could do the same with Flora

And Hyrule has created a monster like no other

Wind is now an irredeemable menace who has done shit

And the worst part is the fact that tetra actually is now dating him because she liked the murder,destruction and arson.
