#d) striker probably?

[sidestriker]

@spidersins requested a surprised starter!

It takes one bullet for the guy he's actually here for to go down, which Striker still considers a waste of angelic steel.

Striker hadn't been paying much attention to his target's accompaniment; he doesn't generally involve himself with Sinners if it's not for the job, and killing them doesn't exactly evoke much of a need for subterfuge. That said, just about anyone who's ever been to the pride ring would recognize Angel Dust's face.

He's a little more surprised than he should be to have run into such a celebrity. Not that Striker's really starstruck, having only ever really seen any of Pride's pornos in passing, but he's never met someone so well known by coincidence before.

This, unfortunately, complicates things.

Striker had been prepared to take out the witness as well, but seeing as that would probably get him uncomfortably high up on the shit-lists of some pretty powerful people in Pride, he resolves to settle for the slapdash plan of talking his way out of trouble.

"Well, well! Didn't think I'd be runnin' into a celebrity today." Striker grins, a well-crafted cover for his disgruntled mood. "Lucky for you, I'm not exactly keen on buttin' heads with the poor souls in Pride who'd riot if an imp put a bullet in your brain. Sorry 'bout your arm candy; a job's a job."

[gentlemanthiief]

hullo friends, i will be returning shortly. been busy and recovering from some irl shit, but things are slowly getting better bit by bit and my akira muse has been pestering me for attention and pointing at the massive pile of drafts i now have sitting in my folder lol.

i don't wanna say i'm 100% back yet bc these next couple weeks i will be planning a visit to a family friend as well as meeting up with my old roommate at some point, but i will be around more frequently. i hope everyone has been doing okay, i hope to have good news soon.

[heavens-angriest-winner]

why does Stolas have straight up a yaranaika face in the closing scenes. am I insane

[mimpinightmare]

💥EL ARIETE💥

(I love this Insane Pirate Ruffian~)

ALSO, Fun Fact: I literally just found out his name (or at least what people and himself calls him), 'El Ariete' , literally means 'The Battering Ram' in Spanish- (You know, the nickname people associate with him back in the days 'til now when playing football??) AND I FOUND THIS OUT LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO. AND NONE OF YOU GUYS TOLD ME?!?!? I'M- 😭😭

(If I have a Nickel every time a Spanish character in Supa Strikas named themselves with 'THE' in Spanish, I have two nickels. Which isn't alot, but is weird it happened twice, right??)

ANYWAYS- I drew and finished this awhile ago. I've wanted to draw El Ariete for awhile until 2 weeks ago I had time. I'm very happy with the results of how it turned out!! :D (I almost give up half way because of the background- 💀 But I keep on going since I was almost finished with this. ✨Always trust the process~✨) (Also I hope the words are readable in the artwork- To make sure people can see it, I'll put description for the artwork Image on "ALT". :D )

Also, all of the coloring is done with color pencils (so is the lineart). That Inyo Fan Artwork I did awhile ago REALLY made an impression on me to experiment with my color pencils that I feel more comfortable to do lineart with it. I'm not sure it will be my go to for now on but it is more satisfying to do then do it with black pen-

ALSO!! I decided to draw him more rough around the edges and messy with his mustache and and pants. Because HE'S A RAPSCALLION PIRATE, GOSH DARN IT!!! IF HE EVER COMES BACK, START MAKING EL ARIETE MORE MESSY LOOKING, MOONBUG!!!! >:((((

(SKECTH OF THE ARTWORK)

(Thank you Younger me for taking this picture before I've colored it!! 🙏✨✨✨ Because I remember how I was so proud of it- 😭)

Hope this guy comes back in S8 or future Supa Strikas seasons if they get made. Really love that his strict, yet how INSANE those teaching methods are in the show- That pretty much what I'm sold of El Ariete as a character because how incredibly unpredictable his is. I would love him teach the other strikers, Klaus and El Matador for a change, or probably the mid-fielders, or teach Supa Strikas as a group for the next game. That would be chaotically fun for an episode-

(I found out there's a comic panel where El Ariete where's a beret and seems like shooting a film(????). I don't know if I'm missing some context and this is probably from the comic of "Return to the Pirate Tower S4E13" and it's just not in the show- [Also since I haven't finished reading the found comics- I SHOULD start reading and finishing them soon-] that being said, they should TOTALLY make an episode surrounding that premise and see how El Ariete handles in a movie set and just go BUCK WILD as a director- LMAO)

I might want to run a tabletop campaign based on an MMO that my friends and I play. What recommendations do you have for systems that are modular/granular enough to hand-build classes that match the MMO, or are flexible enough to reskin existing gameplay as the MMO classes? It doesn't need to perfectly imitate the MMO combat but the combat system would need to have enough room in it for simulating both traditional time-based combat actions and discrete energy-pool type combat actions. I don't expect you to know everything about every game but if it helps at all the MMO is Guild Wars 2. I'm aware some 5e homebrews exist for it but as you well know 5e homebrew is not ideal.

Hmmm, I am admittedly a bit out of my depth here, since I don't know a lot about Guild Wars 2, but I know of a few systems that might match the feel of MMO classes while also being easily reskinnable.

First one is Strike!: this one is an old favorite of mine, and it basically started as a project to make a game inspired by D&D 4e but simplified. It has lots of fantastic ideas: it has D&D 4e style classes which are mainly differentiated in terms of what types of powers they get (Archers get ranged attacks, Martial Artists get stances that modify their basic attacks, Shapechangers get limited use shape shift powers that change their allotment of at-will and daily powers), but instead of role (like Striker, Defender, Leader) being locked into specific classes, you are free to mix and match Class and Role. Necromancer Leader, Shapechanger Striker, Summoner Defender are all possibilities. What you don't get is the granular points-based resource management, since Strike! simply goes with "powers are either at-will, per encounter, or daily." The system is very simple, using only d6s and with very few numbers to keep track of.

A game that handles the granular numbers management better is this game called Beacon. Beacon is explicitly inspired by the Final Fantasy series, particularly FFX but significantly also FFXIV, one of the MMO instalments. Now, most of the inspirations, to me, seem mostly aesthetic. It is, ultimately, a tactical fantasy RPG with a simple class-based framework that makes things easily reskinnable and a lot of player freedom in mixing and matching classes. So while the exact spread of classes on offer may not fit your needs exactly, a lot of them are very easily approachable archetypes that can probably be reskinned into different things. And as noted, this is a game that concerns itself much more with resource management in smaller increments.

Of those I would probably opt for Beacon, as I feel that its combat system (with distinct phases, meaning that there is some thought as to the timing of attacks even though it is a turn-based game) and the more discrete resource management might be what you are looking for, but since I don't know a lot about Guild Wars 2 I am admittedly a bit out of my depth

[demonic-radio]

♡ Hihihihihihi I’d love to know your thoughts on KnifeAntlers/RadioRodeo [Alastor x Striker] if you have any :D

ALSO SO SORRY TO CROWD YOUR INBOX YOU HAVE SO MANY ASKS-

I do have a lot of asks! I realized recently that the inbox number I could see was just wrong, which is why the inbox number is now a vague '60+' instead of an exact number.

Moving on.

Striker is, again, a completely different character after season 1 of Helluva Boss ended. I'm going with season 1 Striker here.

Striker and Alastor are very different people, but not in a way that clashes. I doubt Striker would dislike him. While Striker probably has a level of distaste or caution regarding Alastor, a powerful overlord who broadcasted the screams of his victims, it would be the same caution he'd have for any powerful figure. Alastor would have fun freaking him out a fair amount, but beyond that, he wouldn't interest him much. Striker meets a threshold of being entertaining in his reactions, but not interesting beyond that. I'd say that's a good threshold when dealing with Alastor.

I could imagine them having one another as business contacts. Alastor can't travel out of the pride ring, but Striker can. Perhaps Alastor could pay Striker to take action where he cannot reach, if he needed. Alastor also has more resources, which Striker might need for any various reason. Perhaps Striker needs information, money, or slightly more specialized help; Alastor can provide it in exchange for Striker perhaps hunting down someone or something outside the pride ring.

Striker and Alastor could certainly have good conversation. I could see a slowly developing friendship between the two of them that would be built upon their work relationship. That being said, I believe Alastor wouldn't hesitate to put Striker in his place, so to speak, if Striker were to step out of line.

Ask meme response.

[cinnamon-stixs]

I FUCKING LOVED MASTERMIND HADUFHHDUIDF I HAVE TO RAMBLE ABOUT IT!! SPOILERS LOL

also warning this is long as hell

-Andrealphus's house is surrounded by snow, as is his whole theme. It kinda reminds me of the mythology of hell's frozen center.

-I fucking love stella guys. I'm sorry. I hate her so fucking much and I want to shit on her dreams, and that is EXACTLY why I love her character so much. I'm so glad she's getting more development.

-Andrealphus didn't know about the deal, just that Stolas cheated. So Stella REALLY didn't tell him much.

-I like Andrealphus's peacock theming

-"Now you fucking know!" icon.

-I really like the detail of them using Moxxie and Blitz's mugshots, as well as Millie's wanted poster. It's a really good illustration of how authority figures will do anything they can against minorities, and really pushes the themes of classism and oppression in the show.

-Blitz immediately running to delete his search history, me core.

-He's so scared of going to jail again :(

-"We are going to beat you! But only a little!"

-She's exactly like her fucking dad. She cares SO MUCH deep down, but puts on that 'indifferent asshole' attitude to protect herself.

-"The shredder is jammed!!" D:

-These poor interns

-Blitz, of course, crashes immediately.

-Moxxie uses 'Blitz' instead of 'sir'

-THE MUZZLE. I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF.

-I wanna note as they walk in, Satan is acting in place of lucifer, since he's too busy with the Hotel stuff. He claims he was in hell BEFORE Lucifer, but I take that with a good spoonful of salt.

-"Is this about the orphans?" HUH?

-Dude these motherfuckers keep deadnaming Blitz and it pisses me off! Like I get that's the point but still.

-The sloth and envy sins are here!

-I really like Vassago. It seems like he really cares about fair due process in general, but he also seems to have some sort of beef with Andrealphus.

-"Since when is ATTEMPTING a crime illegal am I right?" You stupid bastard.

-"LIES!!" STFU

-I've seen a few people question why Andrealphus would go straight after Blitz instead of Stolas, since he wants him gone so bad, but the answer is simple. Andrealphus KNOWS there's pretty much nothing he can do to demon royalty, especially since Stolas was considered above him on the Goetia food chain. Going after the imp, a member of an already extremely marginalized group, was simply a safer bet.

-I wish Ozzie and Bee spoke up more. It seems ooc, but at the same time we don't know how big the power imbalance is between Satan and the rest of the sins. (Aside Lucifer)

-"A responsible and handsome Goetic demon such as myself-" You should kill yourself, NOW!!

-They never wanted to let him speak up in the first place.

-"Put his kind to shame" BRO HE BAGGED DEMON ROYALTY.

-wtf is up with Satan and his little meditator twink assistant

-YES VASSAGO!! BRING UP THAT HE'S NOT HERE! IT'S ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT THAT STOLAS WASN'T INFORMED AND CLEARLY INDICATES ANDREALPHUS HAS OTHER MOTIVES!! YES HE SHOULD BE SUMMONED!!

-God I love Vassago I hope he's a reoccurring character

-"didn't want him to go through the trauma of facing his aggressor' is such a thinly veiled argument, but no one fucking cares because Blitz is just an imp.

-WHY IS STRIKER HELPING DEMON ROYALTY. Does he hate Blitz that much because he associated with them? Is he getting paid? Was he threatened?

-"If I wanted to kill Stolas, I would've done it myself." Good point, HORRIBLE wording.

-"oh he just fucked himself over."

-I am so sorry your boss is a fucking moron

-PLEASE Bee and Ozzie you can do better than "He probably has a good reason for all of this!"

-Bee throwing dick popsicles at Mammon, I love you girl.

-God I hate this classist piece of shit

-He KNOWS smthn is up.

-The immediate cut to a Mammon joke after our mcs are SENTENCED TO DEATH really shows how little higher class demons care about imps and hellhounds

-We obviously know They're not ACTUALLY gonna kill any of them off, but I was still biting my fuckin nails dawg

-What an EVIL move.

-Fizz and Ozzie's full conversation before this. So, Ozzie most likely had no idea the trial was for Blitz.

-Side note, but I'm kinda surprised Fizz and Ozzie dating wasn't brought up aside from that line from Mammon about Ozzie and Bee 'associating with the lower class'.

-wtf is up with Satan? If this were any other sin, Ozzie would not HESITATE to clock their ass. Just look at s2 ep7!

-"NOT THEM YOUR HIGHNESS!" What if I cried.

-"you're acting kinda ruby" GET OUT OF HERE TWINKIE

-"I suppose I created impkind to be obedient" Motherfucker those are people.

-"Just axe the mouthy one" It's so in-character for Blitz to not assume himself to be the mouthy one

-He still careeeesss augh!! He sounded so distressed

-"We'll pretend to care" So accurate! Ouch!

-"Moxxie, stop. This big red bitch never planned on hearing us out."

-HER FACE. "Just take care of Loona for me" WHAT IF I FUCKING CRIED.

-Fun fact this is the part of the episode where I started bawling like a loser

-"I love you guys" I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF. IM GONNA DO IT FUCK

Uhh I have to reblog to continue this bc I hit the image cap halfway through lmfaoo

Hiii

I'm really curious about what 10 bought, so I'd like to ask for some more arsonist Neil/firefighter Andrew for wipw, if you feel up to it. Thanks! :D

I hope this week is better <3

WIP Wednesday (10/16) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 249)

Andrew lets 10 shush him and sets his phone down on the arm of the couch so he can eat kettlecorn and watch the game. See, Andrew's really never cared one way or the other about exy. But Kevin he cares a great deal for, that's why he sometimes happens to tune into ESPN just as a Jaguars game begins. It doesn't happen often. Just every now and then. Once in a blue moon.

When they're scheduled to play the Panthers, or any other particularly formidable foes. See, the Panthers play rough. Maybe not as rough as the Ravens used to, but close enough. Within the first ten minutes they've picked up a red card and 10 has employed every curse word Andrew's ever heard at least once.

"I can't believe that ref!" 10 shouts. "Is he fucking blind?! Where's his damn dog? That cunt just blatantly tripped our dealer!"

The dealer is not Andrew's, but he hums in agreement with the rest. The Panthers' striker just stuck her racquet out and now Washington, that's the name of Kevin's favorite dealer, is sprawled on the court clutching her right wrist to her chest. She'd tried to catch herself with it and failed. The announcers wonder if she's seriously injured.

"You think it's broken?"

"Probably sprained if anything." Andrew answers, then watches as Jeremy Knox— the saint of saints— offers his teammate a hand and helps her to the court door. It's a home game so the crowd cheers for her as she exits and is replaced by a guy Kevin can't stand.

[totallynotmelol]

Okay, so I just watched Apology tour and tbh I think I liked it better than Full moon, probably because Stoltitz got more screentime this time, it was mostly focused on them. Anyways, there is some things I want to point out.

Okay I'm not gonna show ALL the parts of apology tour because that would be lots of screenshots. Anyways, I'll be starting from here. When Stolas tells Blitz he think he acts like Striker Blitz gets mad, yes. Then he tries to come up with an excuse or like a reason why he's not like Striker, but can't really to come up with one.

Then he says to Stolas: "I-I stopped him the first time, didn't I?"

Stolas is shocked by that, which you can see.

I kinda feel bad for him here a bit, I mean, Blitz didn't tell him Striker was after him. If he had told Stolas maybe he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

"The first time?" You can see, Stolas reaction is still confused and surprised.

When Blitz hear him saying that he looks a bit confused himself.

He tries to explain that he had stopped Striker the first time. (Which he actually did. For those who don't remember it happened in S1 E5)

Then he suddenly realise...

I feel bad for him, now :(

He didn't mean anything bad, he didn't think it would affect Stolas by saying that.

You can see that he looks away too, he is nervous and don't know how to explain. He knows he messed things up again :/

Okay, I kinda get Stolas frustration. Blitz didn't tell him and he is probably wondering why he wouldn't do that. Why he wouldn't tell Stolas that someone might've come after him.

It just breaks my heart when you see Blitz really is trying to solve things but he just messes it up more.

Omg look at Stolas reaction :(

He looks so desperate and don't know what to do :/

The sadness in his face is just so painful to watch

You can see as Stolas is talking Blitz is starting to feel kind of guilty for his actions.

He is slowly looking away, sad-looking...

:(((

He looks so helpless and lonely right now!! D:

STOP I DON'T WANT TO CRY. NOT TODAY.

Shipping Ask Game:

23 (G-Witch)

10, 25 (any fandom)

36 (RWBY)

(original ask list)

“Poly ship that you ship despite not shipping some of the characters in it outside of poly ship?”

I think the only reasonable option I have here is Suletta/Miorine/Sophie/Norea, aka the ‘2v2 Enemies to Lovers’ ship XD Partly because it’s kind of my only G-Witch poly ship but also because Miorine/Sophie, and really Norea/Suletta or Miorine feel more like they would be more products of the polycule rather than anything that would develop on their own.

“Most smutty ship?”

Now this is an interesting one XD

I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t bring up Chaggie for this one, given that I have a hunch(hope) that the smuttiness for them is going to be canon. As in, I think it would be amazing if going into Season 2, Charlie and Vaggie end up getting a Fizzmodeus-level of extremely wholesome AND horny for each other XD

That being said, if we get outside the realm of any kind of ‘canon plausibility’ and ask about pure fan-works…

Then I think the answer would have to be this one Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha fic (circa StrikerS) I was working on a while back where on paper the ‘ship’ is NanoFate, but in practice the ship is really ‘ALL of Riot Force 6’ with Nanoha and Fate being both extremely horny for each other and pursuing an AGRESSIVELY open relationship with their friends and coworkers (minus Caro and Erio obviously).

Come to think of it, I’ve actually had the finished first chapter sitting around for a while now because I haven’t been sure what to do with it…

“Favorite Foe-Yay ship?”

Oh man, you’re really asking me to narrow down a favorite? XD

So similar to the last question, I feel I kinda HAVE to talk about Marthaberry for being a gloriously fucked up foe-yay ship that is actually canon. Like as I’ve said before, I have no doubt that Ms. Mayberry and Martha hooking up was a hilariously unhinged series of hatefucking and killing each other. Probably at the same time :D

Though also like with the last question, if we start moving a bit outside canon I do feel like mentioning another foe-yay ship I particularly like in the form of Boscha and Luz/Amity from The Owl House for what I term a ‘2v1 Foe-Yay ship’. Where Amity and Boscha have the ‘extremely bitter exes despite having (probably) never dated’ vibe while Luz and Boscha have the ‘I hate you but titan-dammit you’re hot’ vibe, particularly from Boscha’s end after she sees Titan-Luz for the first time. And it all progresses to Boscha essentially becoming a recurring Team Rocket-esque antagonist mostly because she secretly wants an excuse for Luz and Amity to kick her ass.

…And at this point I think I’m just listing future ideas I have for my Titan Luz fic lol XD

“Characters that you can’t decide if you prefer as a ship or brotp”

So this might be stretching the definition of the question a bit, but I’m going to have to go with what is essentially ‘White Rose x Bumbleby’, aka ‘do I prefer Team RWBY staying as two separate partner ships, or going full polycule?’. Like on the one hand, White Rose and Bumbleby are by far the MAIN two ships I’m most interested in, so would it be better to just focus all my investment there? On the other hand, well the appeal of a full-team polycule kinda speaks for itself XD

[hezuart]

Hey! Dyt that they have Ruined Striker’s Character in Helluva Boss? I Loved The Striker that we had in Season 1 but in Season 2 it feels a bit off for me, I don’t know where to put my finger on it. It’s like he lost that sense of character that he had in Season 1, It’s hard for me to explain it. I guess I shouldn’t have expected as much for This Series but sadly Love it and would it be Bad if I thought that Striker and Blitz should have ended up Together and take his offer in The Harvest Moon festival Episode? (if they did take that offer, I would’ve loved to see them taking down some Overlords in Hell, Plus Something about Their interactions made me Ship Them More Than Stolas, Wondered what actually happened if he joined the I.M.P?? I mean he nearly did but Oh Well) and Also Blitz has a Horse!? Does Loona know about this!? WT-!?

Reasons why Striker's character is "ruined" since season 2:

1. His arrogance has been upped to a ridiculous degree (big d*ck statues of himself) He was only arrogant around Moxie because they hated each other, but Striker showed off in physical skill and song. Not sexually? 2. In season 1, he was stealthy, unknown, and very cunning. In season 2, he is brash, famous, and dumb. (He tries to kill Stolas in a public setting without protecting his own identity, he's apparently a well-known killer for hire in Wrath, and he doesn't kill Stolas immediately after finally tying him up in the alleyway. 3. In season 1 he wiped the floor with Moxie, Millie, and Blitz, while in season 2, randomly, Millie & Moxie and Blitz defeat him easily and twice, making him look pathetic. 4. In season 1 he was hired by Stella, a high-class goetia to kill Stolas, and thus was provided angelic weapons to do so. He hates upper-class demons and to be working for one is a high level of irony that adds more to his character; but it also hinted that he was playing dirty, that he would eventually use these weapons to turn against Stella to kill other high-class demons to fight against the political power balance (which is what he invited Blitz to) and Stella provided a great boon for him; extremely rare, dangerous weapons. In season 2, he's seen working for Crimson. However, he is the one providing his resume, almost begging to be hired by a (supposed to be) low-class IMp Mob Boss, but outside of maybe money, Crimson has nothing of value to offer in comparison to the hot deal that was Stella's offering. 5. In season 1, he is brutal but thorough with his attacks. He doesn't play with his toys. In season 2, he drags Stolas's torture out, messing around and playing with him for no good reason. (Yeah, Stella ordered that, but she ordered it LATER, AFTER Stolas was captured, and even that is against what season 1 Stella wanted, she wanted him dead ASAP. There is no reason to torture Stolas, especially if it leaves things open for him to escape. 6. His voice actor changed. Bosco does a really good job, but it's just not the same. Striker was probably the best villain in the series, and now he's just kind of a villain of the we(a)k kind of character I just don't care about anymore.

His character was only slightly better in the Fizzarolli past episode, but just seeing him dumbly pay attention to Fizz's song just solidified he's a joke now. Season 1 Striker would never do that. He would have sniffed out Blitz and gone after him immediately. Maybe have even shot Fizz; Crimson ordered him not to hurt him, but I dont think Striker would give a damn at that point. I agree that Striker and Blitz would be a far more interesting dynamic. Actually fighting against the power instead of Blitz just... sleeping with said power. Blitz wrapped himself up in Stolas, basically becoming his s*x slave in exchange for the book. Blitz even runs a business for sinners, sinners of which are dangerous towards imps and overpopulating Hell's upper layer. Striker offers him an out, Striker offers him everything. He offers him change, he offers him a chance to be someone. Stolas on the other hand still hasn't changed his classist attitude. A part of him will always disrespect Blitz, and I don't know if the writers will ever address it at this point. I mean, Blitz was confirmed to have been attracted to him. It very well could have happened.

(Oh no Blitz!!! Well, Stolas, looks like you're gonna be single this round, sorry D: Also Stella coming in for the FENCING MASTER with a sword and sweet Zal punching Octavia is too much JESUS)

(Stolas you bastard! Losing Blitz really turned him! Also GOOD LORD CASS I thought your specialty was TEA not EXPLOSIVES)

End of Day One:

(....well. Good luck Babybird O_O)

Night One:

(WELL THERE GOES THE HEIR TO THE THRONE AND THE MARQUISDOM GODDAMN. Stella you burned your ice-queen bro alive HOW IS THAT AN ACCIDENT. Also Stolas and Cori?!?! Striker, wake up, he's stealing yo girl!)

Day Two:

(Again, Cassandra and Striker seem to have switched, that goat is OFF THE CHAIN. Coronis running to higher ground? Trying to get away? ALSO STELLA WHAT THE HELL YOU MURDERER YOU KILLED ZAL AND YOUR BROTHER???? IS THIS A GOETIA PURGE?)

End of Day Two:

(Slim pickings but Cori is still alive!....And so is Moxxie and Millie aww, couples survivin)

Night Two:

(Moxxie???? Moxxie YOU'RE A MARRIED MAN MOXXIE. Also FINALLY Striker getting in the royal assassination! Sorry Beelzy you didn't deserve it (probably). Stella not killing her husband?????? What?????)

Day Three:

(WELL THERE GOES THE WIFE GOOD GOING MOXXIE. Also did Cori learn to steal from Stolas??? ALSO NOOOOO STRIKKKKERRRRRR!!!!! And then Stolas too?!? This is getting intense!)

End of Day Three:

(So far Stella and Cassandra are the most RUTHLESS BITCHES EVER on this. Coronis still survives though! And no kills, just staying alive. I am sad the Bros Stalker and Striker are dead, fare thee well my cowboys ;_;)

Night Three:

(The theater kids with musical numbers are SINGING! That's oddly cute. Poor Cori though, just singing softly to herself :'( )

Day Four: The Feast

(I think maybe their are no supplies and memoirs for Coronis, because her parents don't like her. Also Ozzie running from this brutal Goat-Girl is amazing given Cass is getting so brutal this round. Poor Beelzabub didn't get to the Feast though awww)

(OH CRAP THERE GOES CASS! I guess all the killing didn't save her big ol' goat feet from making the wrong step. Also Coronis and her sister teaming up a little??? This can't possibly go wrong-)

End of Day Four:

(Only Cassandra died but GOD what a player! Five kills and taken out by a landmine. Sorry about your luck. But Cori still holding out!!!! Let's see how long that lasts-)

Night Four

(......well that didn't take long. So long Cori. You were sadly no match for the wily possum.)

Day Five:

(Disturbingly normal, though I see the Lust Pals are teaming up. Stella has got PLANS for that makeshift slingshot and all of them involve murder, just you wait!)

End of Day Five

(We lost Coronis ya'll ;-; But she's down in Hell with Striker now, so it's all good.)

Night Five:

( YOU SPARED STELLA????? BRUH SHE KILLED LIKE FIVE OR SIX PEOPLE!!!)

Day Six:

(This is getting tense.....)

Night Six:

(WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS TELL YOUR DRINKS APART?????? Also you four are seriously messed up telling ghost stories with Stella, she's gonna MAKE YOU a ghost)

Day Seven:

(OH NO STELLA OH NO. OH AND POOR BABY BOY DAMIAN!!! He's with his big sister now-)

End of Day Seven:

(err....there's only four left. this is about to pick up rapidly)

Night Seven:

(Oh Moxxie baby I hope that doesn't come to haunt you. Also Verosika SLIT HER THROAT she's just going to kill you later-)

Day Eight:

(eerrrr.....guys? what are you talking about????)

Night Eight:

(OH MY GOD ONLY THE GIRLS ARE LEFT THE GIRLS ARE FIIIIGHTINGGGGG)

Day Nine:

(Stella honing those killer instincts. She's had enough of high-society life and now she's a rutheless killer.)

End of Day Nine:

(It's coming down to the wire. These feisty ladies are bound to end one way or another!)

Night Nine:

(OH MY GOD THERE GOES VEROSIKA. Yui learned a thing or two from the wife. It's now Bird vs Fox! Who's it gonna be!??!)

Day Ten:

(.....what?)

(WHAT?)

(THIS IS THE TWISTED ENDING STELLA WINS??????????)

(Well that was interesting! It made sense Coronis never killed anyone but MY GOD Stella was the unexpected victor in my opinion! Among killing her brother and countless others though????? Not bad!)

(Thanks for reading this! Hope you enjoyed it!

can I ask what kind of work charles does in his lab?

like is it squishy sciences with like kaijus and stuff or is it developing stuff for the jeagers

I have this image of him looking like he hasn't slept in a week testing some beam weapon thing, blowing up a building taking some notes and then leaving lol and observers are like isn't that-

I love the scenes of him and max beating the shit out of each other sooo much but I think lab charles is like drugs to me

and like lab assistants ollie and oscar lmaooo

too concept

Hahsha I will go further in depth with this concept just for you

So he works in a J-science development lab that’s doing r&d for the mark vi project (in the movie striker is a mark v if that helps) and the lab is divided into a few branches, so there’s basically a bigger branch that does the physical parts of the jaeger (like how do we make the arms stronger, how do we make it run faster, etc), and a smaller branch that does the like…neurological side (how do we make this easier for rangers to pilot/how can we make the interface more intuitive/how can we make the jaeger’s brain talk better to the pilot’s brains). This is the branch Charles works for!!

Their lab is basically a big room with the mark vi’s physical prototype brain (it’s kind of like a big computer except it’s the size of an SUV) and a drift rig for test pilots to do test drifts with it. Those tests churn out data sheets that sort of indicate whether or not the pilots and the jaeger are synchronized (the goal is to get all three synchronized obvs) but since drifting is a bit of a soft science Charles is there to help the engineers read between the lines of the data. He also manages the test drift sessions and the test pilots—he makes sure they’re not over exerting themselves, that they’re matched well, and he helps them interpret what happens in the drift since he has a lot of experience drifting but they don’t have quite as much. Test pilots are usually kids from the academies who couldn’t find compatible matches, so they’re not very experienced in a jaeger

He eventually becomes program director for the entire project, which is a TERRIBLE job that he HATES. fortunately he only has to do it for about a month tho

So basically most of his job is looking at data sheets and dealing with teenagers lol. He doesn’t get to blow up THAT much stuff, except for the Mark Vi servos which are unfortunately very finicky and explode a few times during the beginning of the project. But those are outliers, and that’s probably a good thing

1, 3, 11, and 12 for bugmaine (i believe that's the ship name if i got the wrong order i am so sorry) if you would like!!!! :D

Helloooo Zale!! ^_^ yeah, bugmaine’s the name. I mean I guess you could also call it charbug or something but I just think bugmaine sounds nicest.

1. Who would ask “would you still love me if I was a worm?” and how would the other(s) respond?

Giggling imagining this. I think Charmaine would be the one to ask it. They’re more insecure than they let on, asking completely seriously but acting like it’s a joke lol. Bug would answer yes and probably say some shit like “if you were a tapeworm I’d let you live in my belly” and Charmaine would feel reassured but also regret asking because ew.

3. Who’s better at carnival games?

I think this depends on the game 🤔. Charmaine’s got better aim, but Bug would be better at games like high striker.

11. Who makes the most typos/autocorrect mistakes?

No phones in their world but it would be Bug 😔

12. Who’s a more nervous flyer?

No planes either but I guess if you put them in a hot air balloon or something lol… Charmaine would be more nervous methinks. Heaven forbid they see something they interpret as a bad omen on the day of their flight because they WILL cancel it. The Worrier.
