#Jade shadow spoilers

BOY...

[tennospaceboots]

I can't believe they did that

[depressed-sock]

If you know, you know

Seriously though, I did enjoy playing through the new update. I just really think there's some aspects of it that they could have handled very differently

[tenno-aster]

Jade Shadows gave us further context to Stalker "going mad" upon seeing the Tenno's true self in The Second Dream. He had been a soon-to-be father before he was turned into what he is now.

I did really like the implication of Umbra walking around the operator's ship in their downtime

(Also I need to make an important note, my oc Astrophel is Nonbinary Transmasc and uses he/they, his gender expression and relationship to it is a direct copy of my own— please be respectful to experiences that differ from your own as some Transmascs/Transmen want to have children— this is not a commentary on it or a fetish just making my oc feel real and complex lol

Content Warning: Pregnancy mention)

As a little catch up in my oc universe after New War Astrophel is left extremely depressed and fatigued, switching sides to have Orokin Royal Privilege wasn’t so fun was it Astro? He’s going through a lot I shouldn’t say that. Astrophel is so depressed and fatigued still, they do not go with Namid to investigate the Zariman/don’t know if Namid has told Astrophel about it yet. By WitW Astrophel is feeling good enough to go on missions again and reluctantly helped out our favourite Loid, Astro hates Deimos but as long as he’s not outside on the fleshy planet they feel less icked out.

Now to Jade Shadows.

Namid and Astrophel find themselves finally having a slow day and Namid is trying to broach some hard conversations about some realizations they have come to, realizations they had back in New War while Astrophel was under Ballas’ control… those realizations being Feelings. Wow, T4T real?

Namid is stuttering and fumbling trying to get the words to form correctly, flustered and fiddling with their hair braid as they struggle to string a sentence together. Just as Namid’s lips start to remember how to speak— The Stalker shows up, and he’s got problems.

Namid’s eye is TWITCHING and they are mildly going insane that they have to put this conversation off for the 500th time since they got Astrophel back.

Astrophel on the other hand feels an Immediate connection to Jade’s feather. He hasn’t really felt anything since New War. Astrophel offers to find Jade/ connect with her through transference.

Being connected to Jade during the Big Moment awakens something in Astro, a fighting spark, a burning in his stomach to keep fighting. Jade and Stalker’s story and how it mimics his own relationships to Namid and Orion. The power imbalance. For a moment Astrophel knows exactly how it would play out if he were still an Orokin Prince, mid trance he looks over at Namid and sees them distorted, they would not have been able to be together either. His overbearing mothering and coddling, did Astrophel want children? Could he even have them now after how void touched the incident left all the Tenno? It didn’t matter, Astrophel comes out of the transference trance with depression brain fog gone, replaced with a fiery passion, he could not save the Jade he was connected to but he can create the next.

Namid banging their head against a wall cause this ends with them still not talking about their feelings lol.

Also not sure what the Stalker-Jade baby is named in this story 2 Orions existing would be hilarious 🤣

hildryn what's that strapped to your arM WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR ARM HILDRY-

TENNOCON 2024 DIGITAL PACK GIVEAWAY! *

* Provided by Digital Extremes! Info about the TennoCon 2024 Digital Pack here. Includes the funny backpack syandana :)

To enter, simply reblog with your art of any Warframe character with a backpack!

Giveaway entries will close and the winner will be randomly chosen on JULY 1st at 10:00pm EST

Post for the above art can be found here!

More info under the cut, PLEASE READ IT IF YOU WANT TO ENTER!

(same info as my past giveaways if you've seen those)

This is not a contest! The winner will be decided entirely randomly, art quality will have no effect on chances of winning! Make whatever you can in any medium you want! (not including unedited captura/game screenshots)

Please submit your own art!! Do not use any AI generation tools for your entry.

Only one entry per person, you will not get more entries for additional reblogs and/or drawings.

The goal of this is for the community to make a fun little gallery of Warframe art in the reblogs, but don't stress over how "good" your drawing is! As long as you submit something vaguely in line with the prompt you're good! (You can find previous giveaway galleries here!)

You do not need to engage with me in any other way (likes, follows, etc.) to enter, just a reblog with art loosely following the prompt! The only way to submit images under a single post on Tumblr is through reblogs, but please know that I do not intend this to be a means of promotion. If people could submit images in the replies I would gladly take that option!

If you have any feedback about the giveaway please let me know! :)

Here are some example submissions that would also work, but of course whatever you want to make doesn't have to be limited to this!

I will be assigning one unique number per individual and then throwing them into the random number generator on random.org. (Edit: you can find the spreadsheet with info on each entry here!) After the entries close and I roll the winner, I will update this post with the winner's name and a message saying that the giveaway is closed. Reblogs will also be turned off once the giveaway is closed, as I am only using reblogs as means of congregating drawing submissions under one post during the giveaway period.

Whoever's number gets chosen will be messaged here on Tumblr, so please make sure your DMs are open! I will be asking for your Warframe IGN and platform so DE can give send over your prize! If you have cross-save linked or merged then please tell me, though I will also be asking in DMs as well. If the winner doesn't respond within 24 hours or no longer wants the prime access pack, then I will roll a new winner with the same method but with the previous winner(s) number(s) taken out of the pool.

Anyways good luck and have fun!! :)

I think that when Stalker goes out on assassinations, he leaves his kid with Kahl (because Kahl is possibly the most dutiful person he knows of in the entire system). And the entire time Kahl has them, he's just huddling around the child with a bunch of other grineer defectors going "look, brothers, a new little brother. When they are older we will teach them many things." Another grineer defector pipes up "like gatakata." "Yes, the grakata. And the blunt." "And the hellfire jetpack with homing missiles." "Slow down brother, that is very advanced." "No, look. It is smiling. It desires to take to the skies." "Ah, a smile... What's happening!? Brothers?!" *An eldritch ray of energy erupts from among the huddled grineer; this is shown as a wide pan out to Chipper, sitting on the other side of camp who is startled by the distant blast* "It yearns for beam weapons, brothers. We are not prepared."

Stalker returns, Kahl is reading a weapons system manual to the child in a fort made of blunts. There are at least six pieces of heavy armor plating swaddling the child. He lets out a long held breath. Everything is fine.
