Take your pick, which is scarier: the guy with the sword [sword not pictured], or the guy getting mad at you for hurting the guy with the sword?
There's not so much of a cohesive storyline on this one, just.. Damian getting injured in a large-scale attack and Jon rushing immediately from the other side of the city to be like, "D is this guy bothering you?"
[omg me when I realise I didn't put a mask on Damian HAHA it's uhhh it's intentional uhhhhhhhh it's an artistic choice uhhhhhh imagine he's wearing it rn HAHA]
#damian: not super bothered tbh#jon: so bothered. so so very bothered.#if Jon gets injured Damian is going to turn assassin mode back on#if Damian gets injured Jon is going Scary Dog mode#because uh yeah they are#bonus points if they had a fight before this large scale attack but the fight does NOT stop Jon from saving pookie#that's his POOKIE his BESTIE his SOULMATE his BRO his LIFE#literally best friends or lovers or whatever they are so locked in with each other#digital art#fanart#screentone#manga style#art#damijon#jondami#i love the name damijon bc it makes me think of dijon mustard and that makes me laugh! funfact!#damian wayne#damian al ghul#jon kent#jonathan kent#superboy#robin dc#also disclaimers: don't want to study outfits and I drew these with my heart#don't want to draw a sword so imagine it's discarded to the side or he dropped it or something (rip)#they're older here imo but idc how much older#and I like the idea that they both take after their mothers in build so they're both slimstrong#instead of bulkstrong like their dads#just realised dami has no mask on I'm screaming crying throwing up#illustration

Hello sonic rainboom anon here and it's not really a survey the origin story of this is I was on Twitter and someone made a post about sqh and sqq debating whether lqg could do a sonic rainboom or not and lqg overheard asked what it was and when he learned he was like bet and that inspired me and for a little bit I had the motivation to ask ppl about it maybe got a bit overzealous and wanted a skinzun situation but gave up on that and a few days later gave up on asking entirely since not everyone was answering and I got embarrassed so that's the lore behind do you think Liu qingge could do a sonic rainboom I also had the goal of atleast 1 perosn making art of it and you are the only one who has so thank you so much!!! Also the most common answer is no because Liu qingge is either not rainbow dash or Liu qingge is not affiliated with rainbows so if he tried a sonic rainboom it'd be more some badass male power fantasy explosion
UPDATES TO THE SONIC RAINBOOM SAGA, I'M SO EXCITED THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK ANON and I accept the drawing trophy with grace and humility đđ«±đ
Okay that is the funniest possible reason for LQG to attempt to do a sonic rainboom. He has no fucking clue what his sect siblings are talking about but now it's a CHALLENGE (and also a Definite Chance To Show Off, Shen-shixiong, are you watching this shidi perform this so called legendary technique??) (and I stand by my claim that he succeeds in getting so distracted by showing off that he slams face-first into a rainbow bridge. so he succeeded! kind of! no he doesn't need to be checked out by mu-shidi and no he is NOT embarrassed, thank you very much, no don't you dare tell anyone else about this)
now I'm wondering who was more in favour of LQG succeeding, SQQ or SQH? or was it just a thought experiment for them? xD
#but yeah by and large i think i agree with that assessment#lqh has no specific reason to make a rainbow explosion so i think in a pure... uh ''canon'' sense for lack of a better word he couldn't#bene speaks#i respect your desire to stay on anon but also don't be scared to come chat! i love people coming to talk fandom stuff!!#literally the best part of fandom is talking to people about fandom otherwise why would any of us be here!

Hey Paya. If you see this ask then take it as a sign to draw something or write something. It doesnât matter what, I just hope that this makes your day a little more productive.
...okay i know this was probably meant to be, like, motivational, so thanks.
but the thing is, i am. a lot. daily. on my last day off i got done with a whole swathe of new sprites and a functional sketch of the menu screen for my game.
thats nothing to say of all the WRITING im doing on it! ive also got some ink n paint practice i like p recently in my Wet Sketchbooks
...cant find the other Wet Sketchbook with all the watercolors in it atm oop
but i do have my Work Sketchbook, which sees maybe too much use every day because like. full time job.
i think only one of the things i showed here is more than like a week old.
still doing things. i just dont really feel the need to show 90% of what im actually doing because i know it won't really get seen, and it's enough for me that i'm making stuff. and on top of the job, i'm also still doing online college.
so uh, yeah. Not Posting Fanart =/= Not Being Productive. have a good one
#doodles#i dont tend to let it bug me when Assumptions are made about me#but i did have some sort of stress induced attack over the weekend so uh. bad timing with this. i dont blame you for it but REAL bad timing#memorial day weekend + finals + running a goddamn theme park restaurant on the busiest weekend of the summer! hahaha!#fine now though! got today off so i don't have to deal with the last of it#ok back to shitposting#...maybe i shoulda taken this opportunity to show off My Girl but she's like a month or two old already#INK. ITS A LARGE INK PIECE NOT A HUMAN CHILDl#long post

brought to you by me hosting a friend for two days who grew up in the same cultural region, and tbh will not be invited again.
#night two of spontaneously showering for over an hour with no notice just as i indicated i wanted to go to bed...#pls consider. i have to shit lol#i also have meds#i'd honestly make fuckin due if i'd had the indicators to like. idk say oh i need to grab my meds first#but also idk how to put it other than this is one of. so many behaviors that are making me just about reconsider the friendship as a whole#within 2 days#i lowkey wanna cry because this has gone so badly overall#and i feel like i'm in a position where it's both unfair for me to not communicate this distress (because maybe we could work it out)#but also if i do communicate. this individual was having and is now coming out of a hypomanic episode where they kept talking about#self harm related habits and displaying self hatred for the mildest of critiques#and they've never communicated what to do in these situations previously so idk their boundaries and honestly don't trust them to establish#boundaries that they would benefit from because they have a large history of that#so uh. yeah in conclusion i am counting the hours til they leave and i can more easily try to figure out how the fuck to handle this

Alright, this is my last comment on the issue, for real this time.
@nerdykeppie is staffed by unprofessional, rude, cruel people who double down on their entitlement to be unprofessional, rude and cruel in public to their former customers.
You should know the sorts of people you're giving money to if you patronize them. The founder is liable to misread your words, lash out at you in anger over something he misunderstood, and generally behave like a tantruming child even if you go out of your way to be polite and give him the benefit of the doubt when he lashes out at you over his own poor reading comprehension.
I'm done getting into this. No, Spider is not ~required~ to be professional on his (public) personal blog which is closely tied to his business. I just think it's extremely stupid to double down on his "right" to be unprofessional on his public blog when he owns a business that is clearly tied to said public blog, because it reflects very poorly on both his personal character and his business. I think it is hilariously foolish and an extremely poor decision to openly advertise and defend your founder's unprofessionalism, which speaks of general lack of professionalism and poor judgment throughout the whole business, not just from Spider (though his lack of good judgment and public unprofessionalism is the most obvious).
So. Best of luck in the people involved resolving whatever problem in their lives that they're taking out on me, and beware interacting with them in any way because they will absolutely be rude as shit to you and then smear you in public and private for (/checks hand) apologizing for a miscommunication because you didn't mean what they incorrectly interpreted you to mean.
I can't fucking believe they still think they're in the right here and *I* am the one who needs to be ~asked not to contact them again~. You answered me THREE TIMES *after* I had blocked you because you cannot let go of the fact that you were wrong about a stupid fucking plastic pumpkin and the fact that I went OUT OF MY WAY to give you the benefit of the doubt.
(two of those three asks were frantic apologies because I genuinely felt terrible, and they were both met with meanness and scorn and snide insults about my communication failures.
Lol. Me. I'm the one who is failing to communicate and has poor reading comprehension because you misunderstood me and started lashing out like I personally strangled all of your pets for having the filthy nerve to apologize and try to clear it up.
Yeah. I'm the villain here. Sure, Jan.)
I'm done now, but enjoy having your unprofessional, cruel, immature nonsense publicly exposed. I stand by my actions (the ones I actually took in real life, not the fake pretend ones you made up because you misunderstood what I wrote) and I look forward to you experiencing the natural consequences of your own.
Don't give money to childish jerks.
#how fucking dare you lmao#the gall is just mind boggling#nerdykeppie#this is the last time I'm addressing this period.#tagging it only so other people looking at the tag can make informed decisions about whether to give their money elsewhere#you would think a business would give a shit about its founder being an ass in public on the social media site where you get large amounts#of your publicity and advertising but hey#not my funeral!#they can shoot themselves in the foot as many times as they please#but their potential customers should know this is what they do and how they behave!#also loving the incel response of âyou turned me down?? well I never wanted to fuck you anyway!!!â#yeah uh huh sure you totally had no plans to use my photos#that's why you asked for my permission to use my photos#but whatever makes you feel soothed from your hissy fit I guess#don't buy from nerdykeppie#keep digging that hole babe you're just making yourself look worse and worse and worse#side note#there is little funnier#than someone throwing an extremely public tantrum#because you (gasp) reported on the words they said and actions they took of their own volition#HOW DARE I SHARE THE THINGS YOU SAY#what a monster I am for making you look so bad by publishing the things you said that are bad!#keep digging that hole I'll keep saving all the screenshots#if I have to involve a lawyer fine#not my fault not my doing not my job to shield a grownass adult business owner from the consequences#of throwing a massive shitfit tantrum in public over being exposed for throwing a massive shitfit tantrum because#and I cannot stress this enough#HE#misunderstood ME#and doubled down when I apologized

2023 Halloween Gift Exchange
My gift for @greenscreen-dress for @mcyt-halloween !
Summary: xB is invited back to his home server for a ceremony. Joe and Cleo come along to make things more bearable.
âOhh, son of aâŠâ
âWhat is it, man?ïżœïżœïżœ says Cub, sliding over to xB to see what heâs reading on his communicator.
âItâs just a family thing, kind of annoying though,â he scrolls through the message, taking in the details. Cub glances at it, but looks away as soon as he realises this isnât something heâll understand.
âWhat sort of family thing?â Gem asks, from across the Decked Out hallway, where she and Cleo are doing⊠something. xB doesnât know what it is, but it involves wooden swords and their decks on the floor and an armour stand that he thinks is supposed to be Tango? They used a blue bath-towel instead of a robe.
âGuardian coming of age ritual, involving one of my cousins,â he sighs, flicking his tail back and forth, âThe point is Iâll have to go back to my familyâs server and meet everyone and itâs going to be a whole Thing.â
âI mean, xB, if you donât want to do it, just donât go? If you donât like your biological family, you shouldnât feel obligated to visit them,â Cleo says, messing with the Tango armour stand as they speak.
âI like some of my family. Not all of them are bad. But yeah itâs, mm,â he purses his lips together, thinking of what to say, âI do want to stay in contact, but as long as I do that, theyâll expect me to go to coming of age rituals. And it isnât that bad on itâs own but some of them are just very⊠traditional. And judgemental. But, it isnât the end of the world? Itâs just⊠a Thing.â
âYeah, yeah, I get that. The Vex sometimes can sometimes be, uh, very overbearing,â Cub says, from his spot, crammed into an indent in the wall.
 âHm, yeah,â Cleo pauses, either pondering what she should say or whether she should stab the Tango armour stand, âMaybe, if you want, one of us could come with you? Just to make the whole thing more bearable. I wouldnât mind. I donât think Iâve ever seen a guardian city in-person before.â
âYeah, that actually sounds like a good idea,â Cleoâs presence is calming - in a no-nonsense, sarcastic way. The only time heâs ever brought someone with him to his home server was Keralis, ages ago on a holiday, which looking back on, was a horrible decision. Cleo, however, he thinks is far more mature than Keralis, and will only steal peopleâs possessions if necessary, âI mean, will you be free this Saturday afternoon?â
She smiles.
World hopping has developed a lot over the past century, which is nice. xB remembers when a trip across a galaxy would take a few weeks, but now, itâs only a few hours. Itâs incredibly convenient since, in true hermit fashion, they always choose very distant planets for their worlds. His shipâs on autopilot and the estimated arrival time is two hours, fifteen minutes. He can chill. He watches the little map on the GUI, the ship zooming past various named star systems. His passengers, behind him, are also chilling. Passengers, plural, because Cleo wanted to drag Joe along too. Which, wasnât the plan, but xB couldnât say he was too surprised when Cleo and Joe both showed up to his ship. Like, you canât get one without the other. Theyâre sold as a pair. He hears them arguing, something about the difference between a gravestone and a cenotaph. Cleo says theyâll break Joeâs legs. Joe starts talking faster, pleading for his life.
At the very least, xBâs home world is beautiful. As they approach it at last, it turns from a perfect blue circle to a painterâs dream â miles and miles of beaches and sea. Thereâs no considerable landmass on it greater than a few square miles, and all thatâs on those are ship docks and tourism centres, everything else is in the water. He parks, opens the doors, and breathes in the salty sea air. It burns his nose, but in a refreshing and nostalgic way.
âWeâre here! In case you havenât noticed,â he says, but he knows they have, especially since Joe has spent the last twenty minutes trying to take pictures of the planet through the tiny windows.
âOh wow,â Cleo steps out, âI will say, in terms of places to visit, this certainly isnât the worst for looks.â
Joe steps out after, running out a bit further to take pictures of the sea. xB giggles, âNow the question is, will your opinion change when you meet the family.â
âOh gods yeah, thatâs gonna be, uh,â she laughs and shakes her head, âWell, weâll be here for you, xB. And on that note, what is our story going to be?â
âOur story?â
âYeah, like, why weâre here with you. Are we just saying weâre friends coming along because we wanted to visit?â Cleo pauses, before gasping, âOh! I could pretend to be your annoying girlfriend! That would be fun.â
âHey now, if youâre xBâs partner, what would that make me?â
âOh Joe, you can be with xB too. Iâm sure we can share him,â she ruffles Joeâs hair, âI mean, if youâre alright with that, xB.â
âNo, no, thatâs fine,â heâs laughing, âThat does sound interesting.â
Whilst Cleo and Joe are arguing about the details of their very real relationship with xB, he is busy sorting out actually important things, like how Cleo and Joe are going to get to the monument. Every urban area has conduit-powered water, but for such a deep and lengthy swim, theyâre still going to need equipment. Heâs packed hour-lasting water breathing and resistance potions, to reduce any issues with suffocation and pressure; specialist helmets with goggles for seeing in dark environments, enchanted with aqua-infinity, and with built-in translation software so they can both understand and speak water-tongue; and flip-flops enchanted with depth strider for easy movement. It takes a further ten minutes for xB to get them to properly equip the stuff and acclimatise to breathing in the water. Then, theyâre ready to go.
xB leads them down, following the currents to the monument. Itâs mainly a smell thing, because the monument is the most populated thing in this area of the ocean, and you can definitely tell, but he also knows the way off by heart.
âAlright, just checking you can hear me alright?â he asks in water-tongue â a deep, chittering language that works solely for water â now theyâre a decent bit down itâs worth checking Joe and Cleo actually know whatâs going on.
Cleo gives a thumbs up, whilst Joe responds, âLoud and clear!â through the robotic voice from the helmet. It sounds a little crunchy. xB wonders if thatâs it struggling to translate Joeâs accent.
They keep swimming down, until the monument leers in front of them. Itâs far more impressive than the ones inhabited by regular guardians, with this one being twice the size with twice the colours and covered in flickering neon lights. He feels Joe and Cleo stop, presumably looking on in wonder. He supposes itâs pretty impressive if itâs your first time seeing one, but given heâs spent too many years living there, and has seen some five times more impressive in bigger cities, itâs just a regular building to him. They start swimming again, xB careful to keep the three of them in the âincomingâ current. Small settlements and businesses rest on the seafloor below them, branching out around the monument, but most people will be living inside it.
They take the top entrance, xB telling the guards theyâre here for tessC Craftedâs ceremony and the three of them are let in without trouble.
âThe guards are more for display, than anything,â he says to Joe and Cleo once theyâre inside the monument and alone in the winding corridors, âI donât think Iâve ever seen them refuse anyone in, they just deter criminals by being there.â
âRight,â Cleo says, glancing around, âGood to know! Iâll just be staying right by you, so I donât get lost, because this place is an absolute maze.â
âYeah, I mean, yeah,â he laughs, âThereâs no structure, you just learn where everything is by living here.â
âSo where are we going now?â Joe asks.
âThe main hall, itâs got like, a big platform in the centre and a bunch of seats,â he takes a sudden left turn, making Joe and Cleo quickly swerve after him, âYou just kind of wander around and talk to people, and then everyone sits down, and the ceremony begins.â
âSo, itâs like a wedding?â Cleo says, slight uncertainty in her voice.
âUm, I guess?â xB says, about to elaborate further, before the hallway opens up into a massive chamber. Several rows of flat seats wrap in a horseshoe shape around a long walkway, raised several metres above the seats nearest, leading into the back of the wall where thereâs a door for the ceremony participants to emerge.
The noise is the most prominent thing, chittering bouncing off the walls and coming back in an incoherent blabble. He imagines Joe and Cleo wonât even be hearing this, itâs so indecipherable the software wonât bother to translate it. Itâs no surprise itâs so loud, with hundreds of people in here. Technically, its only mandatory that the family of the person involved come, but everyone living nearby tends to, both as an act of community support and because free food is served throughout. Since xB is family, theyâll be right at the front on the bottom seats. He leads his friends down there, picking out a free-ish spot for them. With less people being at the bottom of the hall, itâs easier to hear things.
âWhy, xB, you came,â a voice booms from behind him, belonging to none other than his biological mother. Great.
âUh, hello. Joe, Cleo, this is my mother, beK Crafted,â he grabs his friendsâ arms, making sure theyâre here for this conversation, âAnd, mother,â he pauses for a second, wondering if he really wants to go this route, before remembering he has no fucks to give, âThis is my girlfriend Cleo, and her partner Joe.â
âOh, donât be so humble, my Angel Pie xB! Joe is your boyfriend too!â for good measure, she even ruffles his hair as they say it, and it takes everything he has in him to not burst out laughing. She turns to his mother, holding out her hand, âHi! Iâm Cleo! Iâve heard so much about you!â
âRight,â his mother tentatively shakes Cleoâs hand, looking down on it like she might catch a disease. This is going far better than xB ever imagined.
âI â on the other hand â have heard nothing about you! xB has never mentioned you to me! This is a wonderful night to meet!â Joe says, grabbing his motherâs other hand to shake at the same time. Heâs doing it far too fast, jerking her arm up and down.
His mother wrinkles her nose and steps back, flicking the hands off her, âRight. Itâs good that youâre here and that youâve-â she does nothing to hide the disappointment in her tone, âBrought some other people around. Make sure to introduce yourself to everybody, Iâm sure your uncle rK would love to see you.â
His mother quickly swims away, to nearly the other side of the hall.
Cleo turns to him, âWas that a success?â
âOh yeah, absolutely. Usually she goes on super long rants to me, or brings up about when Iâll be having grandkids, so itâs nice to have skipped all that.â
âOh geez, are you sure you want to come to these things?â
âYeah, itâs fine. I donât take any of it to heart, itâs just annoying,â they both nod, but still look rather unconvinced.
They continue talking to xBâs other family members, in a way that has made this kind of thing far more enjoyable than it has been in a long time, with everyone reacting to Cleoâs ridiculous pet names with either obvious distress or approval, some even finding her charming, somehow. Itâs nice to be able to catch up with his more reasonable family members, and anyone annoying Joe scares off with his passionate talks of eighteenth-century poetry. They have a good time.
The lights begin to dim and xB ushers Joe and Cleo to sit. Whilst the rest of the chamber grows dark, the walkway lights up and the door slides open. Stumbling and shambling, xBâs cousin emerges and makes the harrowing walk to the end of the platform. If he didnât know better, heâd say she was sick: desaturated skin, tattered fins, and dead eyes. Itâs obvious sheâs just about to undergo metamorphosis though, with her juvenile external fins fluttering in the water.
She collapses as soon as she reaches the spot, body completely relaxing until she looks like a ragdoll. Some soft tearing sounds echo through the water.
âWhatâs going on?â Cleo whispers to him.
âSheâs about to grow into her new body,â he says,â Just⊠watch.â
Cleo turns back to tessC, transfixed. At her back, a new, pale growth emerges from the ripped skin. It grows and grows, until it becomes evident it is, in fact, her back, and her arms and legs come with it too. Sheâs covered in spines and the tail that forces itself out of the body is far longer than it once was. Eventually, her head frees itself too, and there are no signs of the external fins anymore. She pushes herself onto her feet and makes a noise, somewhat like a growl, triumphant over her old body. Her limbs still look so wobbly and crooked and her tail hasnât quite filled itself out yet, itâll take a few hours for her new self to settle into shape.
âOh wow,â Joe murmurs, âI didnât know guardians did that.â
âYeah, metamorphosis into adult form,â xB says, looking around for the elders, âI remember mine. It really hurt. Theyâll just need to choose the sacrifice and then we should be done.â
âHold on, sacrifice?â Cleo whips her head around.
âYeah? After someone sheds their skin, another person is chosen for them to test their claws on. Like, they donât die, most of the time, but it is pretty brutal.â
âThat, feels like something you should have mentioned before coming here? Some guy just gets ripped to shreds every time this happens?â
âI- Oh yeah. It completely slipped my mind. Um, if it makes you feel better, you wonât get picked? They wonât have your name down, itâll just be me. And in all my years, Iâve never been picked, itâs really unlikely.â
The elders, on a balcony looking over everything, read out from a piece of paper, âThis yearâs sacrifice shall be⊠xB Crafted!â
Joe hums, âWow, way to jinx things!â
Cleo grabs his arm, âYeah, no way am I letting you get hurt because of these idiots, come on!â she tugs him upward, kicking as much as she can.
xB doesnât falter, the survivalist in him knowing he has to escape now if he wants a chance. He snatches Joeâs hand and starts swimming, thrashing his tail as hard as he can. He can feel the water ripple around him, others trying to catch up to them and catch them, you werenât really supposed to try and escape, and all. He couldnât bring his usual guns, being under the water and all, but he does have a rather nice harpoon gun, however, he doesnât really want to attack his family members and former friends unless he has to. Cleo, on the other hand, managed to smuggle in her sword and doesnât hold back swinging at people in her way. They escape the great hall, diving into the corridors, and xB takes special care to not let go of Joe or Cleo as he takes twisting routes to cover their tail. They zoom out a small, unguarded exit xB discovered himself many years ago, near the bottom of the monument. He doesnât dare slow their pace, charging through the water, practically carrying a panting Joe and Cleo, until they reach the island they landed on.
âWeâre out,â he says, flopping onto the surface, âDonât bother to take your stuff off now, just hop in and Iâll take off. Theyâll give up pursuit once we leave the surface.â
They both nod in response and xB hops inside, fiddling with the controls and inputting the co-ordinates of their Season 8 planet. Thankfully, they take off with no issues.
âxB,â Joe says as soon as heâs got his helmet off, âHow are you feeling?â
âIâm⊠fine.â
âReally?â Joe tries to raise an eyebrow, but he canât, so he just makes a weird face.
âYeah, well, a little sad,â he admits, âI definitely wonât be able to return now. I mean, I know itâs probably for the best? But, like, thereâs still that feeling that Iâve lost something, yâknow?â
âYeah, that makes sense,â Joe isnât following the correct safety protocols for space travel, instead opting to stand behind xB and rest his hand on his shoulder.
âJust remember that weâll always be here for you, alright?â Cleo says and the thought does cheer him up, because theyâre right. Heâll give himself a little time to grieve, but really, there isnât anything those stuck-up guardian folk couldâve given him that his friends canât. He probably had more fun today, because of Joe and Cleo, than he has had in every other family gathering combined. He hears Joe recount some lines from a classic and Cleo groans, and, well, maybe it isnât beautiful blue planet with gorgeous underwater cities, but it still makes him pretty happy.
#happy halloween!#I went very heavy on the worldbuilding on this one. but I figured you'd like that?#whilst I like the creativity of it personally I don't tend to like settings where they're explicitly in a video game#so its a bit sci-fi (Ren's hermethius planet travelling lore) and a bit fantasy (potions and enchantments and hybrids)#I also put a decent bit of thought into the guardian hybrid naming constructs!#you have the prefix (given name. lowercase) and the suffix (âdominantâ/older parent's first initial. uppercase) of the first name#and the last name is the âfamily nameâ. Families being decently large groups of all vaguely related people#prefixes tend to range between 1-4 letters#more thoughts would be here but I am TIRED#uh. can I post this to ao3? If you're okay with that ofc! if you have an account there let me know I'll do it as a gift#therizino writes#mcyt halloween#hermitcraft fic#hermitcraft#xbcrafted#zombie cleo#joe hills

this is probably enough, plus the official âprimerâ document if you want actual information rather than just a bunch of pretty images and a banging soundtrack by Jon Everist (who Iâm fairly sure admitted he wanted this piece to sound kind of Expanse-y)
or if you donât want to click links or watch videos:
politics-heavy hard-SF space opera, thrilling heroics, (almost) zero easy answers to the dilemma of the day, main themes are âpeople are always going to be peopleâ and âthe end justifies the means, but there is no endâ. obviously this describes both settings nicely.
one just uses that to explain why people are hopping into big war robots and slapping the shit out of each other.
#not really sure what possessed me to wanna make this post but here it is after percolating a bit#thereâs several centuries of in-universe history and three decades of real history to go through#you donât need to know who Amanda Cameron is to know Bobbie is one âMech away from being the average BT novel protagonist#battletech#the expanse#actually you could enjoy BattleTech thoroughly never knowing who Amanda Cameron is. sheâs a largely extraneous detail.#basically the settingâs Anastasia Romanova. right down to the conspiracy theories.#although House Cameron is a bit more Atreides than uh the Tsar.#so like any good âclassic flavorâ space opera thereâs also a lot of Dune#but again. there is too much. let me sum up.#i will also warn you that that primer doc though official is SLIGHTLY out of date but you really don't need to know what an ilkhan is yet

attempting to claw my brain out of The Rottening by allowing myself to spend money on things that will improve my household life even though I've been reluctant to commit to them
#a drill for projects around the house because I've either been borrowing a friend's or just not doing those projects#a large external drive for the desktop computer because eventually i do want to upgrade that computer and i need backups#also i have just been solving problems by dumping stuff into cloud storage and that's really not sustainable#and a wireless keyboard + mouse because my computer is set up as the living room TV and having the controls tethered is uh inconvenient#it's not even stuff that's hard for me to afford!#i just get weird about dipping outside my weekly budget#and none of these things can be easily purchased within that budget#anyway. very excited to go home and try out this drill#i also bought a new shade for the bathroom#because i don't like having vinyl blinds that have broken slats as a privacy shield#like. my neighbor's house is Right There#and it's not a very big broken area but i am constantly aware of it#so it would be nice to just. fix it.

December Belphegor Redraw 22 of 31! Â
Buon Compleanno Belphegor~ As for his birthday I absolutely needed to get one of him as a kid. I had ruminated about doing the panel just before this with him and Rasiel, but well. He would've been made I made him share~ Maybe next year Rasiel, maybe next year. Speaking of this though I find the portrayals of how this went down, in Varia arc Vs Future arc very interesting. Because they're incredibly different in how they're described, in Varia arc Rasiel's murder is described as something Bel did Haphazardly, done without organization likely very sudden stabbing Rasiel to death. But then future arc clarifies from the both of them, that this could have been seen to be leading up from a mile away, and only if their parents genuinely were so neglectful to not pay any mind to this, or in fact encouraged this, that this would have ended up happening. I just find it very interesting how different it is and with the addition of how easily Bel clarifies it, I wonder how it lead to the conclusion that it was haphazard at all, or if it was even as simple as stabbing Rasiel to 'death'. Because it seems like Bel likely just has his idealized version that keeps getting broken down the more he was forced or corrected, you must wonder JUST how much of this is a lie how much MORE of it is to his favour? In the presence of his brother he had to be honest that they had always fought, and while Rasiel makes them move on quickly from this, he does state that Bel is "only saying things that benefit him" and "That he better not forget the face that didn't lose to him" to which Bel has no rebuttal against. What likely happened with the additional knowledge that Rasiel then says that day he was essentially poisoned with medicine, that Bel seeing an opportunity to finally end Rasiel then stabbed him violently very simple to figure. But even still there was likely much more of a struggle than Bel probably wants to admit if it was not considered a flat out loss for Rasiel now that he was proven to be alive to the point Bel didn't bother arguing that point. Bel may have been wounded himself and in his haste to solve that, may have been the small opening of chance for Rasiel to survive that Byakuran needed to manipulate so that Rasiel could survive in the future timeline. (just don't fucking ask me how that works because I don't see how he could affect something so far back. Maybe Byakuran just fucking lied to Rasiel and used other powers as "proof" to convince Rasiel that his survival was actually his doing.)
The Image I redrew is under the cut, just to keep the post small.
Not related to the whole murder(funny sentence I know), but it is said that Bel hides his eyes to prevent like a fucking political incident, but like. HE WAS WEARING HIS HAIR LIKE THIS SINCE BEFORE THIS I THINK PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY REALIZE MORE SINCE HE KEPT IT THAT WAY.
#khr#katekyo hitman reborn#varia#belphegor#my art#fanart#redraw#blood#uhhhh so this turned REALLY long#I guess uh#I had a lot more thoughts on the matter than I thought i did#love unreliable narrators#also love that poisoning him is apparently considered fake genius#wdym rasiel i'm sorry bro but he tricked you#like i don't know what you fucking want from him he used his resources well actually#also love that knives are considered an escalation from LARGE ROCKS that are like the size of a SOCCER BALL?#I THINK THE ROCKS ARE WORSE GUYS IDK#INTERNAL BLEEDING AND BROKEN BONES FEELS A LOT MORE BRUTAL THAN WEAPONS INTENDED FOR KILLING

#unrebloggable because i dont want anybody who sees this to do so without knowing that i fucking hated dj at the time#largely bc the fan content was uh. i don't want to say bad but it was deeply uninteresting. but in the comic on the other hand?#i actually found the resulting conflict interesting and seeing two human characters have to reckon with if being mlm would change how#their friends perceived and treated them was literally the best and most grounded and most validating portrayal of what it was like to be a#queer teenager that i had ever seen. it meant a lot to me#but that wasn't really the same as shipping it#which i very much do now as an adult#teen me would hate myself but its okay me i got older and gayer and came back to this comic with a bunch of mental illnesses you're welcome#i'm not dissing rosmary btw i fucking loved it as a teenager. so much. it just didn't have the same reckoning with the reality of queerness#i was obsessed with rose as a teen. i wish i could go back. now i like her deranged gay dad instead

(undertale spoilers but mostly just headcanons and stuff) I'm Not Quite Sure How This Got So Out Of Control???
(perhaps surprisingly, this one DOES actually have a very small amount of blood (as well as an off-screen death), so I'm slapping a warning here and in the tags. just in case. no massive violence, though.)
i set out to practice with word bubbles because i intend to make a full-length fancomic series one of these days, and i needed to figure out the word bubble tool.
i figured i'd just use this offhand idea i had about the King Papyrus neutral route and call it a day. well i'm not quite sure what happened but somewhere it went from "simple comic" to "5 pages of what the heck is this". somehow veered into angst again. welp.
(if you feel like reading my logic behind this whole thing here's the initial idea i wrote up like 2 weeks ago lol)
i was thinking about neutral routes (...again...) and i wondered, would the monsters eventually reach a boiling point? like, would they get so fed up with what they perceive to be papyrus' inability to run a kingdom/actually pursue getting a human SOUL that they turn on him?
sans of course would intervene, constantly reassuring everyone that papyrus was doing all he could (which would be the truth!), and even getting just a lil bit ominous and scary if he needed to.
...which got me to thinking something else. if they tried to overthrow him, what steps would they take? where would they stop? monsters' SOULs are made of love after all (and monsters rarely, if ever, show desire to harm another monster at ALL), but would they take a life if it meant freedom...?
which led me to:
#tw: blood#tw: murder#my silly undertale headcanons#sans#undertale#papyrus#art??#PLEASE HELP THEM AAAAAAAA#oh this is Sad#âI'M NOT MAD!! I JUST...WANT TO KNOW WHY...â#â...HE SAID HE'D BE BACK BEFORE I KNOW IT...I D-DON'T KNOW WHAT HE MEANS BY THAT...â#âBUT HE TOLD ME NOT TO GIVE UP EITHER!!! SO I WON'T!! NYEH HEH HEH!!!â#Oof Size Large !#no the missing crown in pages 3-5 was not a mistake :)#That Was Fully Intentional :)))#(Because He Doesn't Think Himself Worthy Of Wearing It Since Sans Perished Under His Rule :)))))))) )#if it had been the other way around and papyrus was the one who was gone#sans would just straight up vanish without a trace to go hide somewhere and be miserable#UH ANYWAYS-

So, Canada has decided to stop sending arms to Israel after an NDP motion. The Liberals made major amendments to it so as to firmly condemn Hamas as well. It's kind of a mixed bag. Honestly, it's naive of me but I didn't expect there would still be so much outrage, even if the motion did call for an acknowledgement of Palestine as a state. All the Conservatives voted against it - to be fair, some of them wanted to wait for the motion to be passed because the amendments were super last minute and the Bloc Quebecois were annoyed that because of this there wasn't a French translation.
I guess it's a step in the right direction. I think it's still weak but you can read more on it here.

#I think the biggest thing that confuses me is that there are still comments about Israel being the only safe place for Jewish people#I don't doubt that - a large (I think unfortunately a majority) percent of the hate crimes this year#have been against Jewish people in my country#But uh... maybe the solution here is to work on making Canada (and the world in general) safer for Jewish people?#I know you can't change people's individual attitudes but really#i think saying 'ah yes jewish people will be safe in this place far away from us#where we don't have to deal with this issue in our own country. not anywhere else though' is... weird#also I think if your argument is genuinely that one group's safety has to come at the expense of an entire other group of people#you need to start thinking outside of such a limited narrow scope#storyrambles#<-i'll probably delete my tags after i'm just... sigh...#i know i'm naive to a degree but i really think these opinions are not... especially radical#also i think canada is reticent to show too much support because that might get conversations going around our occupation#of indigenous land and the landback movements#but that's my own thoughts and a separate (though related) matter
