Development History of the Command Wolf

And the zoids that came from it, which the internet at large seem to have forgot.

I'll note here that the following took place on the continent of Delpoi according to the Zoids Bible lore book, making this zoids a separate species than the later Konig Wolf, which originate on the continent of Europa.

This role will later be filled by the Shadow Fox after the Liger Zero becomes the primary infantry zoids of the Helic Republic. (Source: https://theironbible.com/ZoidBooks/OfficialFanBook/1-9.php)

I adore the HMM boxes because that have the most complete breakdown of technical details I have ever seen. Source & further lore: https://theironbible.com/ZoidsModelKits/HMM/CommandWolf.php

From the base models we get several variants, from the very well-known Irvine custom and the Command Wolf AC:

And Of course Town Wolf:

Blitzer and Climber Wolf:

The Blitzer Wolf was actually the creation of one Yusuke Chiba has an entry in the 2nd CoroCoro Zoids Remodeling Grand Prix which was held in 11/2000 and won the wind-up category. The Blitzer Wolf, like the motorized winner, Death Stinger KFD, were featured in the Zoids Official Fan Book 3 and the wolf was also added to the card game.

Now moving onto the unused concepts, firstly comes:

This fuselage was apparently intended to compete with the Imperial Lightning Saix, but the power demands on the core were too high and it was scrapped after several unsuccessful prototypes were tested. (Source: https://theironbible.com/IndexZoids/CommandWolfMKIIConcept.php)

Now for my absolute favorite, that I really wish had been a kit or action figure at some point:

The bigger, more complex looking armored legs, the claws, the overall more advanced armor and segments that make up the neck and torso, the close combat focus

unfortunately this wolf never featured in a story or merchandise, and it's only official appearance was in the pages of Dengeki Hobby Magazine, January 2002's Smack Zoids! B-Part. In universe it was apparently declared impractical due to its close combat focus and never saw mass production. Boo!mo

And now for my absolute least enjoyed entry in the Command Wolf development chronicles:

I have no damnable clue how two additional heads were meant to either fold-up and deploy from inside this thing, or be attached via the hangar/transport/whatever. don't like the heads gimmick, don't like the weapons pack, glad it got canned.

Jesper “guard against pain” vs Wylan “guard against joy”

Jesper’s jokester and confident façade was to protect himself from feeling pain, but inside he’s insecure and vulnerable. He hid his grisha nature because the only person who ever treasured it was taken away from him, and grew up being told that it was a curse. So instead he acts like he doesn’t need it. He acts like he takes all the losses and all the hurtful things in good stride but deep inside he’s feeling lost and guilty all the time. That boy is always bouncing on his feet with guilt all the time in the duology. Guilt for disappointing everyone: his father, Kaz, Inej, his mother, and himself. When he thought about Wylan at the end of SOC he thought Wylan wouldn’t want to hang out with criminals like him anymore once he got the money and that had stung more than he thought: it’s the boy inside him feeling abandoned again, the boy that does no good to anyone other than in a fight. And he cope with all that pain, that guilt, with his addiction and his gunslinging - which no one really paid any mind until Wylan saw through his façade.

Wylan, whose joy and hope was taken away from him by his father, was always made to feel less than, shared the same constant feeling of guilt for just being who he is. His father made sure of it, that he knows he’s not allowed to feel anything but anxious and guilt, and his joy was to be choked out of him (metaphorically and literally). Wylan in the show couldn’t even believe when Jesper told him he was smart, thinking it was just a trick to coddle him into some false sense of joy before it would be taken away again. Wylan in the books still holding on to the last shred of decency for his father until that moment at Saint Hilde, instead blaming himself for it, maybe because it would give him a false sense of control over his own pain. Until Jesper saw his own guilt mirrored in Wylan, and helped him to his feet.

Both Jesper and Wylan were able to keep some part of goodness in the face of everything that happened in their lives: Jesper with his good spirits, Wylan with his morals - standing up against Kaz again and again despite being threatened every time. In Jesper, Wylan learned to accept joy again, and that this won’t be taken away from him. And in Wylan, Jesper knew that he has a safe space where he can accept his pain and heal from it in a healthy way.

“You can love something despite seeing all of its flaws.”

Anyway, Wesper is each other’s safe haven.

My friend does this a lot so I’m taking a stab at it. I’m looking for more Podcasts to listen to I need to kill sometime the next few days. I’ll tag ones I’m thinking of and ones I liked so far.

I really liked Malevolent (just look at my blog)

A Voice from Darkness is another big one for me. As is Red Valley (I binged that one)

WTN, Wolf 359,, The Storage Papers, The Scarab Archives and the Technomancy Project.

Ones in my to be listened to pocket are as follows Woe.Begone, Kane and Feels: Paranormal Investigators, and Neighborly.

Started and never finished Penumbra, Spirit Box Radio, and Hello from the Hallowoods.

Any other recommendations? And for the ones I listed which would you start with? I tried the Slit Verses that seems popular but I couldn’t get into it.

[spinspoon]

something that will never not be funny to me is the fact that i absolutely downright refuse to get an arctic wolf purely out of spite

Dragon Age Big Bang Round I

For my first trick, I got to paint a scene from The Wolf’s Flower, by MissJLH. Her absolutely gorgeous Lavellan, Iris, meets with Solas in this field of flowers in the Fade, just a bit too ideal to be real. JLH loves the post-impressionists, so I wanted to emulate that style a bit and channel my inner Odilon Redon, and pull in some (very famous, recognizable) Irises by Van Gogh to play with.

I especially enjoyed painting the detail of Iris’ conjured magical spirit-arm, and I love that she doesn’t rely on this magic all the time and that it has a cost!

And she’s just such a babe. I think we can all agree.

How would you write Aegon if you have the chance? You know making him a fleshed character and not just some plot device to give his mom and brother some character's development points. I like goofy Aegon (the only right thing that come out of his show portrayal) however I can't ignore that book!Aegon was always described as someone sullen, sulky and overall bitter😭

Young Aegon played by Ty Tennant was actually very entertaining and quite underrated in my opinion.

So I wouldn't erase that part of himself (basically being drunk, childish, irresponsible etc) just add more to him so he's not just that.

As you said, in the book he's sullen, bitter, and overall very envious of his half sister and nephews. I think the key in here is writing him with characters, making him active instead of a passive object the other characters act for.

Fixing the timeline is important but let's pretend we've done that already, I'd write him have interactions with his siblings, his mother and grandfather, and most importantly add a group of circle that he's in control of.

In the show you probably noticed neither Alicent nor Rhaenyra had any ladies in waiting or maids around them - which is insane if you think back to the worldbuilding rules asoiaf has. Similarly to Aegon (and eventually Aemond), they too would have a circle of "friends" to interact, build connections and entertain themselves with.

Personally i'd have them be sons of the council-men or highlords otto has pushed to benefit their agenda. Whether these "friendships" are genuine or not is another matter. But having the character interact with multiple people, changing sceneries from the court to some brothel to the training yard to the skies flying on a dragon can make all the small differences.

Another waste I thought about was how we never saw scheming behind the scenes or peasant people and what they think of the royal family. Public opinion is important and Aegon spending so much of his time in the brothels or in fighting rings would get him to witness what people whisper about the royal family.

So basically, have Aegon do things; whether it's getting drunk with highborn boys of his age, tormenting his sister, ignoring his mother, arguing with his brother. Anything can be used to show different sides of himself. You can see cruelty with his treatment of servants and his sister, arrogance with his interactions with his brother and grandfather, hurt and anger from his mother, bitterness and envy around Rhaenyra and his father.

Aegon might not be plotting like Alicent and Otto, or trying to prove himself like Aemond, but he's still a character. And while he's not an active antagonist before the war there are tons of things to have his character do.
