#Several Shooting Stars

[spaghetticat3899]

Doodle barrage

Apparently I haven’t shown any art since April, oops… Also the #my art tag isn’t working right and only dates back to a post in March for some reason? Anyways, not much was missed, just a lot of scug nonsense, lol.

[Ignore the unrelated night furies in the one image!] I like imagining Gild’s (my friend’s OC) interactions with various characters. Lin and Gild’s dynamic is so interesting to me, I love writing and imagining it. Both are artificial creations, but in different ways, Gild seeks to rid himself of attachments, but Lin’s sole purpose is attachments, Gild is an ancient soul, whilst Lin is newer. Gild also being a companion to Alby in their final days is just kinda bittersweet to me. Yes, the weird winged thing is my artificer. I call her “abomination arti”, she’s the result of messing around in DMS and rolling with it. She’s got the same background as normal Arti, just with some pizazz thrown in to make her more monster-ish. I also have some OP Artificer things enabled, so… justification or something.

I also drew a map of Several Shooting Stars :)

I’ll explain character nonsense in another post if I feel like it, so beware.

Several Shooting Stars could have a few meanings derived from their name. Shooting stars are associated with wishes, granting wishes, and not being a common sight. They seek to grant the ancients’ wish of solving the great problem, as it was the last thing they really asked before leaving the world behind for good. Also, same starting letter look nice, lol

She’s in a local group, though unlike the other members, wholly stood above the ocean instead of having any legs on land. Perhaps the floods from the rains sunk the land that once was, as beneath the water there are still gates and passages, although completely locked down. Only two members have been named, Three Everlasting Nights and Long Awaited Rainy Skies, the rest are nameless for now.

Everlasting Nights and Rainy Skies are by my friends (renteduwu, robotcowboy6969) and we haven’t yet discussed their relationships to one another, but plan to.

Stars was a somewhat reserved individual, speaking in a flat, but mildly nervous tone. She was thoughtful, and only wished to help, but only tended to speak up when she felt needed. She was quite strict when it came to keeping data organized, which could be off-putting to others. She had the capability to broadcast to all iterators, but more often spoke with local members, not wishing to get into long-winded arguments with unfamiliar iterators.

(currently under development)

Stars is a being fond of collecting any and all data they can find. They can research for several cycles on end, then speaking of whatever new discovery they’d made to their group. Despite their rather boring voice, they loved to talk about any sort of data or theory for quite awhile.

Stars is a Gen 2 iterator, so a somewhat older model. Her specialization was data collecting, analyzing, and archiving, being a living encyclopedia to answer whatever was asked of her. Her can has compartments for pearl creation and storage, acting similar to rain shelters in the outer world, although sealed indefinitely once full. She still has the same purpose as the others as well, but merely on top of her specialization.

Stars is quite fascinated and knowledgable on bioengineering, in fact, using it themself. They do not see it as immoral, and merely a means to create.

She views herself as a complex yet simple mechanism. Her biological and mechanical parts bear no difference in significance, they are still essential to function. Though at a point, she does see herself less as an individual, and more like a larger version of a purposed organism.

Stars would likely wish to be like one of her creators for the sole purpose of being able to view their society’s functions better. Though, Stars couldn’t imagine being something so small, so powerless. As an Iterator, they are close to godhood, they couldn’t imagine anything else.

She had created a bio-engineered a modified Slugcat. Its purpose was companionship, to repair any damages it could find and feasibly manage, and keep “pests” out of the can. She never saw many creatures outside of overseer reports.

The legs appear short from the surface, but are actually quite long, just covered by seawater.

They are a generation 2 iterator, so they are a somewhat older model, similar to Looks to the Moon. The ones built around them are “younger”.

N/A

Stars had found the ancients fascinating, although later on felt less connected to them. Once they’d come to the conclusion that once the solution is found, they no longer have a purpose, they became almost resentful.

They had no underlying condition, but did allow themself to fall into disrepair over time.

At first, she’d believed it was merely the destiny for all life, no choice in whether you wanted it or not. It was something to aid others in finding, but not herself. Her inability to ascend and feeling trapped caused her downfall.

N/A

Yes, I believe most iterators do. Seeing the divide form between Sliverists and Non-Sliverists form was quite a sight for Stars. They didn’t pick a side, but instead merely recorded the event in itself. The vagueness of Sliver’s affirmations was frustrating to them, unsure if it’s the truth or merely a statement to throw other iterators off-course.

Yes. Stars would likely wish to befriend Seven Red Suns. They would also find Five Pebbles’ rot to be both repulsive and facinating, and once Unparalleled Innocence revealed the images of it, copied and archived them. Looks to the Moon’s kindness would be appreciated, her also being an gen 2 model would create some bias, and Stars believed Moon to be dead after the broadcast stating her goodbyes.

They may have regretted sending their companion away, feeling as though the last memory it’d have was them failing a quest Stars knew could never be achieved. They told the scug to search for any pearls that could be of use to prevent their collapse, knowing the collapse would come before any time they could get back. They wanted to send them away so they wouldn’t perish in the fall, but instead have a small chance of thriving in the wilds beyond.

The location is unspecified, but not too far (at least on a global scale) from the local group within the game. It’s a costal region, dotted with islands and flooded structures, two small peninsulas nearly form a bridge where Stars currently sits. Perhaps they did at one point in the past.

Stars’ overseers like to watch various things, although they tend to pop up more often around the nearby cans of other iterators. Sometimes they watch wandering slugcats, since Stars has a small fondness for them, thanks to their modified one.

They are either white or blue (I cannot decide the light colors). I like to pretend the super rare white overseer you can get in-game is hers.

Somewhat busy, it being above the sea made it a more desired location, despite the heat being put off by the can itself, the ocean breeze was quite nice. It was pretty populated before the ancients went off to the void sea and weren’t seen again. Some say an echo lies in the heart of the city ruins.

the fewer words a magic weapon’s name has, the more dangerous it is

you don’t want to be on the wrong end of Lord Megatron’s Dark Star Sabre: Slayer of Primes, don’t get me wrong

I finally decided where to place the Transformers lump stickers I got from @archie-sunshine! I got them a few days ago but was debating where to place them for maximum viewing capacity (since they bring me serotonin whenever I see them). Then I saw this galaxy planner and I knew they would be perfect there. Thanks again to Archie for making these adorable stickers!

not to bring tiktok drama on tumblr but like every time a ‘scandal’ comes out with one of these ‘production companies’ that make fan films i always hope we’re finally gonna discuss how they professionalize something that should be an hobbyist endeavor… and yet every single time i’m disappointed.

What was your favorite 'Mech in MW4?

Overall: Mad Cat MK I.

Light: Cougar.

Medium: Shadow Cat.

Heavy: Well, the Mad Cat MK I, unsurprisingly =P But because that was hard to get my hands on during missions... The Vulture or the Nova Cat, whatever popped up first. ... The Vulture, I think.

Assault: I kind of didn't need them tbh? But in terms of my lance? Daishi.

What you need to understand here is that I played with Zero Heat and Invulnerability on because of substantial medical issues made playing a lot harder than my brain could handle, given I started playing before my life had acquired double digits.

So, bringing a Heavy to an Assault fight never really hampered me. All with zero heat sinks, maxed out on weapons and armour, and all my other tonnage put into speed.

... Actually, it's just occurred to me that there are two Mechwarrior 4 games. So that ^ is for Mech 4: Vengeance.

Mercenaries?

Overall: Same. Despite the fact that it took me until this year, and following you to realise that the missile pods are reminiscent of cat ears, I *adored* my Mad Cat MK I. Always will.

Light: Wolfhound.

Medium: Shadow Cat.

Heavy: Nova Cat.

Assault: Mad Cat MK II. I found the speed and versatility more useful in this one than in Vengeance.

... Damn it I wish I still had a way to play these games now.

You ever go outside at midnight to go see a meteor shower from a secluded area all by yourself?

Cuz I did and only saw like 3 even though I was there for almost an hour.

Well, it was an experience at least.

Since the Collector was able to trap King in a nightmare vision and then flat out said "my powers don't work on King" like five minutes later, the dreamscape can't be a Collector-specific power. It must be something else (maybe something other people could potentially learn like how Belos learned the draining spell) which the Collector supplemented with their puppet stuff. I think it's really fun that the Collector has a bunch of super overpowered inherent magic because of what they are and then on top of that he also knows a bunch of other kinds of magic that he can use to get around Titan immunity (at least in the case of a baby Titan who still lacks power and skill) or teach to other people. I love this overpowered little brat.
