🏴‍☠️ for Ravi please! 🥰

aye aye, captain 🫡 here's babygirl shooting things up in the Sirensong Sea!

skfdjghlfdkjh this one made me think, could've gone with the obvious- O'ravi hanging out with her pirate brother, O'rhafa, or wearing a pirate outfit- but I thought this might be more fun! Dealing with the Confederacy comes right after Sirensong too, so-

Actually you know what I think I'm gonna take some bonus Confederacy pics with her later, because that sounds awesome. But for now, here's O'ravi using Empyreal Arrow :3

❛ aesma, what's wrong ? ❜ it's then koda notes two figures but they're shrouded in darkness. it's nearing one in the morning. the blonde was often up when most people should be sleeping. aesma had joined him on a nighttime stroll . . . why exactly koda was unsure. he was still uncertain where their ' friendship ' stood to begin with. aesma's now stern tone causes panic to settle into his chest. what was going on ?

the non-stupid version of this build would probably be 19 ecclesitheurge 1 loremaster dip for haste (17/3 for barkskin or something?), and i could still do basically the same stuff just with a little more spellbook planning required and off-loading some of the lost buffs to nenio probably, but. If i can't cast haste 20+ times in one day what am i, even

i literally created the stupidest possible build for moon-shik in pwotr. mystic theurge cleric/empyreal sorcerer + trickster. my spellbook is a nightmare. my hotbar was a lost cause two chapters ago. effectively infinite buffs with metamagic completely normal spell. L + ratio + bolstered magic missile is a cantrip for nenio now

the celestial authority ; 🌌

3 out of 4 diamonds in the gempire im making. from left to right, welcome quasar diamond, empyreal diamond, and umbra diamond

quasar diamond, the beaming sun, handles external affairs. with a bold, terrifying, yet bombastic presence, he is the face of militia, defense, and colonization for the empire. his gem is on her chest

umbra diamond, the somber moon, handles internal affairs. she presents herself with sharp wit and widsom as the head of diplomacy and technological advancement in the empire. her gem is on her back

empyreal diamond, the mysterious cosmos, handles leadership affairs. its divine and all-knowing power is what represents the mastery of gems. it was the origin of all gems. its gem is its third eye's pupil

together, they lead homeworld, along with a fourth diamond belonging to my bf that's in the works.

extras under the cut!

in order:

1. umbra without her glasses on

2. concept sketches for umbra and quasar's pearls

3. concept sketch for empyreal's pearl

[rei-ismyname]

Sooo, Cyclops (X-Men #3, From The Ashes) was not exaggerating when he said Ilyana/Magik is 'half demon on a good day.'

After all, she was kidnapped to hell/Limbo as a child and ended up running the place. Some recent examples, like what comes of running into a Chaos Godhead staff and some other magic stuff in the wild. You know, just going about her business being a hero and getting sidetracked...

Hehe, psychic nosebleed from being nearby but Magik is okay.

Better than okay even.

Go girl! Those horns are fire, the new speech font slaps and the sense of drama immaculate. Pervert those laws of nature!

Zombie Queen of New Genosha has a nice ring to it.

The uh, slavery is a little problematic. Good thing it was temporary. The Scarlet Witch shouldn't be leaving spells and hectic artifacts around. She doesn't need Angel mansplaining anything to her, that's for sure.

HAHAHA! 'A little moment.' Shut up Beast, she regrets nothing, including the Nightcrawler thirst. Why you bringing that shame around here? (Empyre: X-Men #3-4)

So in Dead X-Men #1, the squad is looking through timelines for a Moira (it's a long story.) Their first try they end up in a timeline where Magik ascended to Lord of All Hells and razed the planet. I can't even begin to speculate how this came about. There is no lord of all hells - there's a bunch of them, and they're very powerful. Mephisto, Nightmare etc. It says a lot that she supplanted them and noone on Earth could stop her. Her very close friends are like 'GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE' and she killed everyone on Earth.

Good for her! I support women's wrongs fully. But yeah, Magik is not someone you want to fuck with.

'Who dares trespass in my realm?' is a banger for when a housemate/family member comes into your room. Try it out!

Kate Bishop Reading List

Long ago I made myself a (roughly chronological) list of Kate Bishop comics, and I recently updated it and figured I might as well share. There are some fairly minor appearances included; just know I cut out SO MANY MORE.

Also, I don't care how minor the appearance is, if Deadpool and Kate are in the same issue then I'm including it.

YOUNG AVENGERS ERA

NOTES: This is the most streamlined segment, because I've read these through enough that I more or less remember which appearances have substance and which are just Kate's nostril on page 16.

-Young Avengers vol 1 #1-8

-Young Avengers Special (one-shot)

-Young Avengers vol 1 #9-12

-Civil War 1 #1-2

-Civil War: Runaways/Young Avengers #1-4

-Civil War 1 #3-7

-Winter Soldier: Winter Kills (one-shot)

-Captain America vol 5 #26

-Civil War Fallen Son: Death of Captain America #2-3 & #5

-Young Avengers Presents #1-6

-Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers #1-3

-Dark Reign: Young Avengers #1-4

-Nomad #4 (set during Civil War)

-Siege Young Avengers (one-shot)

-I Am An Avenger #1 & #5

-Avengers: Children's Crusade #1-4

-Avengers: Children's Crusade Young Avengers #1

-Avengers: Children's Crusade #5-9

HAWKEYE DUO/YA2 ERA

NOTES: I once tried to work out the exact timeline for Hawkeye v4 and YA v2; I've broken things up according to that timeline. YMMV on accuracy and you certainly don't have to read in that order. I in no way tried to integrate HvD or anything listed after that into a coherent timeline. Also I don't entirely remember how large of a role Kate plays in the Patsy Walker/Ant-Man issues, sorry.

-Hawkeye vol 4 #1-5, #7, #6 & #17

-Young Avengers vol 2 #1-15

-Hawkeye vol 4 #8-9; #10-13 are concurrent

-Hawkeye Annual (one-shot)

-Hawkeye vol 4 #14, #16, #15, #18-22

-Hawkeye vs Deadpool #1-4

-All-New Hawkeye vol 1 #1-5

-Gwenpool Special #1

-Astonishing Ant-Man vol 1 #1

-All-New Hawkeye vol 2 #1-6

-Patsy Walker v1 #2

-Old Man Logan v2 #2-4

-Astonishing Ant-Man vol 1 #6

-Civil War 2: Choosing Sides #2-3

-Uncanny Avengers vol 3 #13

-Civil War 2 #4-6

-Year of Marvels: October Infinite Comic (one-shot)

-Spider-Man/Deadpool vol 1 #12

KATE BISHOP SOLO/WCA ERA

NOTES: Gonna be honest, I never really tried to make a timeline for the concurrent pubs during this time, so...whatever. And, uh, I don't honestly remember how much of a role she plays in the Wasp stuff, so I included those to be safe. She's basically just in flashbacks during the Empyre stuff (Aftermath excluded) but I've included because...Young Avengers love each other okay.

-Hawkeye vol 5 #1-16

-Unbelievable Gwenpool vol 1 #14-15

-America vol 1 #1, #5-6

-Generations: Hawkeye & Hawkeye

-Despicable Deadpool #299

-West Coast Avengers vol 3 #1-10

-Season's Beating (one-shot)

-Unstoppable Wasp v2 #7

-War of the Realms: Journey Into Mystery #1-5

-Fearless vol 1 #1 (she's BARELY in this but...funky chibi Kate, yk)

-Avengers vol 8 #22

-Death's Head vol 2 #2-4

-Gwenpool Strikes Back vol 1 #3-5

-Empyre vol 1 #4-5

-Empyre Aftermath Avengers (one-shot)

-America Chavez: Made in the USA #1-2, 5

THE (MOSTLY) UNREAD ERA

NOTES: Aside from the H:KB solo, this is basically my to-read list, so it's entirely possible some of these appearances are extremely underwhelming. I did try to cut out anything that seemed SUPER light on Kate content, but that also means I might've cut some comics where she has more of a presence as well.

-Black Widow vol 8 #10

-It's Jeff Infinity Comic #1, #6-7, #9-12, #14, #18, #22, #25, #28

-Lucky the Pizza Dog Infinity Comic (one-shot)

-Hawkeye: Kate Bishop vol 1 #1-5

-Alligator Loki Infinity Comic vol 1 #13, #15

-Marvel Meow and Pizza Dog Infinity Comic #1-4

-Women of Marvel vol 4 #1

-Avengers: War Across Time vol 1 #5

-Captain Marvel vol 10 #50

-Marvel's Voices: Pride vol 3 #1

-Avengers Unlimited Infinity Comic vol 1 #58-59

-Extreme Venomverse vol 1 #5

-Women of Marvel vol 5 #1

-Infinity Paws Infinity Comic #1, #10

-Avengers vol 9 #14-16

-Marvel Mutts Infinity Comic vol 1 #11

-Blood Hunters vol 1 #2

-Venom War: It's Jeff (oneshot)

SOME ALTERNATE UNIVERSE KATES

NOTES: Only really including the ones I've read or that are on my to-read list.

-Secret Wars Journal #1 (Lady Katherine AU)

-Siege vol 2 #1-4 (Lady Katherine AU)

-Secret Wars Too (Lady Katherine AU)

-All-New Wolverine vol 1 #33-35 (Old Woman Laura timeline)

-Old Man Hawkeye vol 1 #5-12 (Old Man Hawkeye timeline)

WRAP UP

It's probably pretty obvious which comics are the most important to read (both YA runs, all the Hawkeye solos, etc) so I wanted to mention some of my favorites you might be tempted to overlook

-Winter Soldier: Winter Kills oneshot. Kate and the YA meet Bucky.

-Civil War Fallen Son: Death of Captain America #3. Clint and Kate's first meeting.

-Hawkeye vs Deadpool #1-4. I love this title so much. Kate and Clint team up with Deadpool for the first but not last time.

-Despicable Deadpool #299. That time Deadpool threatens the Hawkeyes and Kate says he wouldn't shoot her and he agrees that he wouldn't, he'd just shoot Clint twice.

And for MCU Kate fans, shoutout to Black Widow vol 8 #10 for being the only (...so far as I know) comic to place Yelena and Kate are in the same room.

Video Game Ask Answers

Decided to answer these like @mist-touchedxiv chose to here. My answers are below the cut cause it's a little lengthy with 31 questions. Reblogging with my answers would have really made it lengthy. XD So I did my own post for them.

Last game you finished -It's been a while since I played a game with an end. Persona 5

Game(s) you’re currently playing -FFXIV, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

1-3 games you’ve played in the past 12 months that you really enjoyed -FFXIV, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Do you like to get 100% achievements/trophies? -Nah. I like getting trophies but I long ago gave up on 100% in any game since some of the trophies are brutal for me to get. I game for fun not frustration.

Game(s) coming out that you’re looking forward to -Assassin's Creed Shadows

A series you’ve enjoyed since your early days of gaming and still enjoy to this day whether it still has games coming out or is one you return to -Wild Arms

A series you’ve lost interest in -Soul Calibur

A series you haven’t played but are interested in trying -Legacy of Kain

A game you played completely blind with no prior knowledge of and enjoyed/loved -Devil May Cry

A console and/or handheld you’ve never played but would like to try -Sega Saturn

Do you prefer ‘blank slate’ main characters you make yourself or otherwise project onto, or characters with a set personality and backstory? -I am good with either choice really. Depends on the story.

A character you particularly like in the game you’re currently playing -Koana from FFXIV (I picked a character from the current expansion to fit the question better)

Quick, name the first song from a game that comes to mind -Song of Storms from LoZ Ocarina of Time

A song that’s sure to hit your nostalgia buttons -If You Still Believe from Legend of Dragoon

Do you have a backlog and do you keep track of it? If so, how? -I very much do have a backlog. XD An it would be easier to keep track of games I've finished than which I haven't.

A game you’d like to replay that you haven’t -Legend of Dragoon

A game you didn’t finish but would like to get back to or restart someday -Tales of Vesperia. Lost interest towards the end when I needed to do some level grinding. I hate level grinding.

A game location you really like -Empyreal Paradox in FFXI and the battlefield inside

A game you started up for the first time and you knew from the start it was going to be great -Legend of Dragoon

A boss you think is really cool -Lady Harken from Wild Arms

A boss that was disappointing -Airy from Bravely Default

A game ending that’s really stuck with you -Devil May Cry 5

A “Wow” moment of awe -The final fight for Chains of Promathia in FFXI. I literally gawked at the battlefield until the NPCs forced me into the fight.

A game with a cool art style -The Persona game series

A game’s art style that had to grow on you -LoZ Wind Waker

Realism or stylized? -I'm not sure I lean towards one more than the other. Because art style can make or break the choice of if I want to play a game but I'm not that huge on the realism since most of those are game types I'm not big into anyways.

A game you love the atmosphere of -Kingdom Hearts

Pick a series you like. What was the first game you played for it? Was it a good starting point? Would it still be a good starting point now? -Wild Arms. It was the first RPG I really got into. And I think it's still a good starting point now. Even if you played the remake rather than the original. None of the Wild Arms games require you to play the others to understand them.

On average do you have one game or multiple games going? -I tend to have a few going in recent years. But usually only 1 that I'm not waiting on more story to release. I usually have 1 solo RPG going, XIV, and Disney Dreamlight. DDV doesn't have a big story and is a bit more like Animal Crossing in I can do what I want and how much I want at a time. XIV of course I have to wait between updates for more story and I can only do so much content grinding before I need a break again. My current RPG to take a break is LoZ Echoes of Wisdom.

Game you think you’ll finish next? -No idea. I am really good at getting distracted by a XIV patch or something new just as I get near the end of a game. That is what happened to my Baldur's Gate playthrough... XD

Someone has never played a video game before but is open to trying any genre. What game would you recommend as their first? -Hmm… If they want something with a story, I'd go with the original Wild Arms. It's not difficult to play and it's what got me into gaming. If they want something relaxing I'd say Animal Crossing New Horizons. If they want something less turn based and more actionish I'd say a game from the Ys series or LoZ series since most of their stories are pretty standalone.
