#Thunder Hawk

"Canceled?"

"Yup," DeMarkus said, pulling his welding mask up to wipe sweat from his brow. "They're canning the whole line. Once we finish the current block and the 'mechs are on the way to Tharkad, they're retooling the factory."

"What a fuckin waste, man," Nguyen said. He stared up at the towering Thunder Hawk they were joining armor to. The jutting 'chin' of the cockpit loomed above their lift, which hung next to one of the vast cavities fit to recieve a gauss rifle. "They're good mechs, why stop building a product like this?"

"Who's gonna pay for them?" DeMarkus shrugged. "The rifles are expensive. The frame's expensive. The engine alone is worth more than a whole lance of hunchbacks. Now that the Star League's done there's no one left willing to pay for a machine like this, no matter how good it is."

"Even if Steiner goes through with declaring war on Marik?"

"Especially then. This's gonna be a Hunchie line in a month- the board have an idea of what sort of war this'll be, and it's going to need troops. Not whatever big command 'mech Kerensky wanted."

DeMarkus looked up at the broad chest of 'mech with Nguyen and rubbed his palms together before he went to drop his mask back down. "The only way anyone's ever gonna want to pay for one of these again is if the SLDF comes back to give us the contract."

Nightmare: You have no real family. You're on the wrong side of 40. You're childless and alone. Somebody close to you said "One more flop and it's over." Hawke: Hawke: Somebody said they were close to me?

Another crosspost from my Instagram! Original caption:

Black Superheroes for Black History Month!!!💥📖📚

Normally I split this type of post in two, one with characters I've already read and loved and one with characters I want to read in the future. But I haven't read too much DC, and BDS is still calling for a boycott against Marvel while the Captain America 4 movie plans to contain Sabra, a character who is Israeli propaganda personified, and I don't want to promote any Marvel characters while that is going on. So, we have a DC only edition. The only characters in this list that I've read at least one full book for are Connor, Duke, and Virgil, so I apologize if there's any incorrect information.

On the 25th of June, twenty nine years ago, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challenges was released in Japan for the Super FamiCom and Sega Mega Drive.

It is the fourth game in the Street Fighter II sub-series of Street Fighter games.

It refines and balances the existing character roster from the previous versions, and introduces four new characters. It is the first game on Capcom's CP System II hardware, with more sophisticated graphics and audio over the original CP System hardware used in previous versions of Street Fighter II.

I’m so excited to announce that my Indigenous Americans Folklore Romance Series premieres on January 15th! 🥳

The first 12 installments (the 15th and 30th of every month ((save February when it’ll be the 28th)) ) will be about the Thunderbird. I know a lot of you think you know what they’re all about, but their mythology varies across all of North America, and I’m so excited to get to write a novella about them, sharing what I always read and heard about them.

The first installment of every series will be available here on Tumblr, but the rest will be only shared as a tier on my Ko-fi and Patreon. Once each project is finished, I will be selling the novellas on KDP. I hope to by next year increase the amount of projects going on at once, but I’m taking it slow this year so that way I can deliver on what I promise ❤️

Disclaimer: I’d also like to let everyone know that I’m not an expert on Osage nor any other interpretation of the Thunderbirds. I have studied Indigenous folklore since I was very young, and continued to in college and beyond, but I’m not an expert. Please take this all with a grain of salt, just as you do with Greek or Egyptian mythology inspired works. I might be wrong, or embellish to fit my stories’ narratives. I also might not be drawing inspiration from a nation that you’re familiar with.
