[hamausagi]

NOOOOOO I WANT THIS SO SO SO SO SO BAD WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE IN MY SHOP WHYYYY

[identityflawed]

this is such a niche fandom overlap and i’m only doing it for me and my bsf and maybe one other person on here but

STAR WARS PREQUEL CHARACTERS IF THEY PLAYED VALORANT

anakin — one of the rare duelist instalocks who actually comms and even IGLs for the team. the guy’s a war general so he def tries, but if they start losing he gets moody as shit. he only plays jett and if he can’t get his agent he will dodge the game; but you can count on him to always carry. also he’s a comp menace. definitely high immortal or radiant, has a smurf account so he can play with his friends. loves the reaver bundle.

obi-wan — definitely more relaxed, probably only queues unrated and plays whatever agent the team needs, though probably prefers brim. great PMA and is a decent player, always better on defensive half. probably plays cypher and is always exactly where he needs to be to win the round. bought no skins but can’t resist picking up the kuronami if he sees it.

ahsoka — prodigal raze main. probably plays neon on maps where raze isn’t compatible, anything she can to be moving around fast as fuck. she also likes ratting with shotguns, gets down on herself when she doesn’t play well. gold/plat rank and probably only does swift plays bc she gets impatient if they start to lose too hard. loves using oni phantom and complains that they don’t have a ghost skin.

rex — most clones are fuckin goated at this game, they’re trained warriors after all there’s no way the kamino sims weren’t like this. he 100% plays chamber exclusively, and is a rlly good player. solid IGL capabilities but prefers someone else to take the lead. probably diamond/ascendant, and loves the recon skinpack.

padme — idc what you say she is goated at this game bc she has to play w anakin all the time. he probably smurfed to play with her at the beginning but she got all the way back up to his rank. she and her handmaidens all share one account (which probably has a cringe matching username w/ anakin). asc/immo. mains killjoy — always accurate with her comms and util. has every skin in the game so her and her handmaidens can pick their favorites.

palpatine — has two accounts, one in bronze and one in radiant. his bronze one he uses to play w anakin where he just pretends to be really bad, and probably locks brim or sova bc he has no other characters unlocked. his other one is where he’s hella toxic and locks in phoenix just to sabotage his teammates if they’re too nice. top tier hater. uses sentinels of light skin on his radiant account so he can do the weird thing with the kill animation. or the champions melee so he can show off the kills he has

yoda — plays neon exclusively bc it mirrors his actual fighting style, and probably has not ranked out of iron. keeps himself in iron or bronze and will randomly carry people to higher ranks if they’re polite to him. definitely a rat player — him and ahsoka terrorize lobbies together. uses gaia bundle.

windu — probably doesn’t play all that often, and usually only does it with yoda or obi-wan. mains skye, bc he likes playing characters that help his team. not interested in winning, probably ranks in plat lobbies bc his aim is good. always ends up blinding his teammates and gets down on himself for it. likes the singularity bundle

dooku — instalocks kayo and never uses abilities other than his knife and ult bc he believes in aim superiority. scorns people who use characters that can heal and revive themself; gets ragey when people point out kayo can be revived. always plays alone or with ventress. if he gets into a lobby with a jedi he will do everything. in his power to make sure they lose. hardstuck ascendant bc he doesn’t use abilities. uses the forsaken bundle bc he considers it the most elegant of the skins.

ventress — hear me out when i say this girl mains breach, because she lives to make other people angry and breach is the most infuriating character to play against. she will always bait her teammates and she will always clutch in the most irritating way. her teammates can’t even be mad because she’s carrying them, but at their own expense. probably gold/plat max bc she only cares about her kills and not about the win. devoted prelude to chaos lover

maul — i am telling you with my whole soul this man wants to be a yoru main. and he’s not great at it, but he’s the only agent he will play. his aim is solid but he doesn’t have a good sense of how the other team plays, so he always ends up getting caught with his flash out or teleporting right into three different players at once. he also doesn’t comm, ever, unless it’s to curse someone out. only plays comp and only loses. if he’s in a lobby with kenobi he throws and spam reports him for cheating. bronze/silver but would be higher if he stopped playing yoru. uses the protocol bundle because he thinks it’s cool and it reminds him of his old training modules.

savage — fills sage and always revives maul when he dies in a stupid location. will only heal maul and will not communicate with the other team unless they are nice to his brother. somehow manages to avoid getting into gunfights but when he does he always crouch sprays. really likes the guardian and the elderflame bundle because the dragons are cool as shit.

bo-katan — devoted fade main, but could probably play any agent with ease. enjoys using voice changers to troll people and has a very low tolerance for sexism. literally just a solid player who doesnt top or bottom frag but is somehow the most capable person in the lobby at any given time. can and will disconnect from the game if people start being mean to her, and comes back 10 minutes later when they’re on the cusp of losing just to bring them back. diamond, but only because she keeps getting banned for disconnecting. likes the chronovoid bundle for the cool melee inspect

cody — sova main, and probably loves learning lineups. him and obi wan have combo moves and great chemistry in and out of game, and they probably duo together more often than anakin and obi wan do (anakin always plays with padme). probably ends up bottom fragging because he’s too invested in using his abilities than actually playing the game, but can easily clutch up when his team needs him. loves the ego bundle bc it reminds him of his armor, and doesn’t care for skins that change the gun’s sound effects.

fives — he loves playing gekko and trolling people with his abilities and ultimate. always brings good vibes to the lobby but mostly plays with his brothers in their custom games. not the greatest with his aim but his flashes always manage to blind the entire team — he just misses all his shots and blames it on their weird movement. he’s a shit player because he wants to be, and because he likes being able to play with his shiny friends when they first start the game without putting them into hard lobbies. blatantly uses blastx odin.

barriss — probably an astra main. just seems like a very cool headed player but gets easily irritated when her team doesn’t play the way she needs them to. can’t adapt, and therefore ends up having a hard time with the game. silver/gold lobbies at best. ahsoka bought her the ruination bundle and now it’s the only thing she uses. not too much to say for her other than the fact that she’d be a lot better if she realized everyone’s gonna play a little different.

qui-gon — this guy loves playing harbor. he’s definitely a bad player and gets a kick out of making people angry at him and then bringing up that he’s trying to learn how to play so he can play with his son, which is true because he only learned to play with obi wan. also only plays unrated and his play style changes every single game and no one is sure if he’s going to kill 40 people or 4. he probably backseats, too, after he’s dead. probably likes the neo frontier skins because they’re retro as shit. he seems like he’d like cowboys.

plagueis — plays clove because they’re immortal and can heal themselves, and be fucks w that necromancy shit. definitely not good at the game but doesn’t get toxic with his team. god tier IGL but only plays for himself unless the team starts catering to his tastes. probably diamond rank just because he’s good but not great, and doesn’t play the game that much. uses the cryostasis bundle because he’s got a thing for cold planets.

jar jar — he’s iron and not because he’s stupid but because he literally doesn’t know how to play the game. probably plays deadlock because he thinks she’s cool and isn’t aware that she’s a bad agent. very positive teammate but people get angry at him because he makes silly plays. he’ll get better he just needs time. likes the neptune bundle for obvious reasons, and is infinitely delighted by the little fishes.

yeah this was pretty crazy no lie but i fw it lmk if u want a part 2 with the original trilogy or something else bc i got so much more

also shoutout to @circle-around-again for responding to an old post of mine like 7 months ago bc they inspired me to make this post

Valorant leaks reveal stormy new finisher in the upcoming Kuronami skin bundle

The Kuronami skin features a unique floating animation, loading bullets without direct contact. It draws comparisons to the Reaver collection due to similar reload animations and cloud-like bullets.

A standout feature is the finishing animation where a bullet creates a cloud around enemies, followed by a thunderstorm. This cloud can be shot and burst, a first in Valorant.

The skin collection offers four color variants: White, Black, Purple, and Blue.

The melee skin, inspired by the "kusarigama," has a contactless equip animation and a spinning propeller inspect animation.

The Kuronami skin collection includes the Melee (Kuronami no Yaiba), Vandal, Sheriff, Spectre, and Marshal. An exclusive livestream event will showcase these skins on Valorant's Twitch channel hosted by Shannon Williams, the voice actor for Jett, on January 8, 2024, at 10 am PT / 7 pm CET / 11:30 pm IST. Patch 8.0, part of Episode 8 Act 1, will introduce this collection on January 9 or January 10, 2024, adjusted for regional release times.

There's nothing like a good reload after a gunfight. What are some of the best reload animations in games?

There's nothing like a good reload after a gunfight. What are some of the best reload animations in games? I've been playing Valorant lately and really enjoy the reload animations of some of the guns especially the Kuronami skins. Destiny 2 also has some great reloading, a personal favorite being the Centrifuse arc exotic Auto Rifle even though it's designed not to be reloaded haha.

sorry the new bundle (kuronami) has awesome sounds, animations, and a great finisher but the skins themselves are very lackluster if you ask me, and certainly not worth $95. i get why they priced radiant entertainment so high but they cant keep getting away with this. it made sense for RES to be priced so high as each color variant had a completely unique finisher and inspect music. kuronami has the same finisher for each color variant and the melee is honestly the best part of the bundle

Valorant leaks show new Kuronami skin collection!

@valohabercisi's leaks on X suggest the Kuronami collection might feature Melee, Vandal, and Sheriff in White, Black, Purple, and Green. The community sees similarities to the Reaver skins. The Kuronami no Yaiba melee skin resembles a kusarigama, with a spinning chain design discussed by @valohabercisi on X. Expected around December 28, 2023, coinciding with the Exclusive tier Overdrive bundle expiration.

I had the idea of a Remnant yearbook. A yearbook of all students of all years and all staff from all 4 four academies during Team RWBY's freshman year. But then I thought, how many teams are there in each year? We really don't know. We only know that there are at least 3 per year per school.

A yearbook is an amazing idea and I absolutely loathe that we never got anything even remotely like it. Can you imagine all of the cool or interesting things the show could have done with that? Like, Tai unshelving his old yearbook, and showing it off to his kids. Or Team CFVY pulling out a copy of theirs from first-year in order to prove some dubious fact (“I swear, Professor Oobleck used to have a beard. Look, here’s the picture—”).

Or, for something a little more somber: A third-year team who lost a teammate, and occasionally, one of the students stares quietly at the photo taken from the year before, back when their team was still whole.

There’s so much application for a yearbook in this setting and I am gutted we’ll never get to see any of it. What a waste.

Your second point warrants investigation, because the size of the student body always puzzled me, too. On a whim, I pulled up “The First Step” and rewatched the initiation scene. Here’s what I found:

The launch site that overlooks the Emerald Forest. | Source: RWBY Wiki contributor user:Maki Kuronami.

Total number of people: 16. Number of blacked-out silhouettes: 7.

All of JNPR is in this shot. We see three members of RWBY and two members of CRDL, which means that three of the silhouettes in the lineup belong to Blake, Sky, and Dove. That leaves four people unaccounted for, who presumably went on to form a fourth, unnamed team.

(Mind you, this is working under the assumption that the omission of Blake et al wasn’t an animation error. Which given the track record of V1 – V3, is a distinct possibility.)

This means that at the time Ruby entered Beacon, there were possibly four first-year teams.

On a superficial level, the math checks out. Sixteen entrants means that everyone gets neatly sorted onto a team without there being any stragglers.

But you’re right to wonder how many teams there are in each year, because when you think about how the enrollment system works, it doesn’t make any sense. Like, what happens if there are 22 applicants that year, and all of them come with glowing recommendations? Is Ozpin going to arbitrarily refuse two of those students because they would be two people shy of having another four-person team? Huntsmen are a non-negotiable part of the kingdoms’ survival, and training new batches of them is Ozpin’s job. Is he seriously going to turn away eligible students, and compromise the future security of his country, just because he’s adhering to a precedent derived from a fairy tale?

I wish I was kidding. Like, no joke, the (totally-not-a-retcon) reason why the academies assign students to four-person teams is because the King of Vale was inspired by a Mistrali folk story, The Hunter’s Children.

As V5 showed us, the kingdoms can—and sometimes do—face Huntsman shortages when a sudden, large number of them are killed off. That is a very real, very possible threat. Therefore, the idea that an academy might deny someone entry on the basis of four-person teams (and thereby contribute to a future shortage) is indicative of a dangerously flawed system.

Granted, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing from a story-telling perspective. For starters, plenty of real-world colleges and universities have waitlists because there are only so many students they can accommodate at a time. And there’s nothing wrong with including flaws in your work, if your plan as a writer is to point out and deconstruct those flaws within the story.

But RWBY doesn’t do this. It doesn’t tell us if the academies can only accept a certain number of students per year, or if that number has to be a multiple of four. It doesn’t tell us if they have a waitlist, or if there’s a vetting process for deciding which applicants get to enroll that year. It doesn’t take the time to draw attention to how tradition might actually make things worse, or have the characters propose new ideas in its stead.

But, yes. A yearbook would be a lovely idea. Perhaps we could use it to bludgeon the show to death.
