Nez. I need you to know I am obsessed with Squissistant and Dev (even tho I’m a little behind on Dev’s stuff rn, ooops). I still have that holdable paper doll of Squissistant

Literally your ocs are so cool!!!!! I need to figure out the lore agagsgdhddhbsnd it’s so interesting what you come up with <3

Anyways, what are some other ocs you have for non-squip-rp stuff?

AAAAAAAAAA LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!!!!! *explodes*

but seriously thank you i've been kind of out of it for doing things but i'm planning on continuing the story soon!!! 🫂

As for your question OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT PANDORA'S BOX YOU JUST OPENED HAPPI

I have way too many ocs and stories related to those ocs but i'll bring up the highlights

Blaire Caddel (HELIANUS) is a terrifying anthro gazelle-spider thing that eats people and is a musical theater nut and i love her. She's the main antagonist of the story I have her in and she rolls around in my head always. I NEED to draw her and I NEED to actually talk more about her world

Oliver Graham (CHAOS CAFÉ) is a normal teenager who gets sent to a void full of monsters and a cafe and slowly starts spiraling after managing to get out. Here's some art of them now but it's very very old like 2021 old i think

Michael Flud (SEPTEMBER 23RD) is one of my oldest characters and one of the ones that has gone through the most changes. He literally came to me in a dream. Originally his story was about alien technology and dumb teenagers getting taken over by it but then it changed into something I can only call "a multiverse fantasy about the death of the artist". This universe is also where my persona lives

Maya Smith (DEATHWALK) is a person I'VE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT FOR YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS ABOUT HER AND HER WORLD. She's a girl who got kidnapped as a baby by a cult called "The Church of God's Tears" and is raised believing in its practices. She's friends with two other people in the church, Helen nolastname and Claudia Lalima. Maya and Helen eventually find eachother very close and secretly have a lesbian love story under the very homophobic cult's nose. This is eventually found out (also Maya saw something she shouldn't have seen) and she's killed in cold blood by Father Liam in secret.

She later wakes up in a void with four other people; Daichi Higake, Neko Satsujin, Maku Sajidō, and Jared Incendis, all of whom I could ramble about for hours on as well. This is where the story actually begins and the group has to find a way through multiple rooms and dimensions until they find a way out of this strange place (they don't know they're dead). All the while, a plot from a third party source unravels around them, and the gamemaster of their misfortune, Adaline, continues to torment them throughout.

here's a picture of maya please ask me more about Deathwalk i'm begging

Conepaw (WINGBEAT OF A KESTREL) is an apprentice of Kestrelclan and I need to start that comic istg!! She's the adopted daughter of the deputy and wants to grow up to be just like her. But because of a certain horrors™️ she finds she's never going to grow up, even though she lives and breathes. This is all based on a clangen play through and Library of Ruina, specifically Love Town

and that's all i can think of rn!!!!!! please please please feel free to ask about any of the stories here (except for september 23rd i'm keeping that one a secret) cause I love to yap!!! i want to yap so badly!!!

Vax's Deathwalker Ward armor is so cool.

[red-wood-reaper]

These are kinda old and I'm VERY sure I haven't posted them here yet dkjfhfkl.

Since its the spooky season I thought it would be appropriate to post some of my drawings of my undead Charr Achlys Deathwalker!

This is mostly just a symmetrical bust, and a small page of sketches when I was working out how I wanted to draw his face.

[andi-o-geyser]

Oh SHIT you know what I just realized? The Deathwalker’s Ward literally looks like a raven. Here, let me show you.

I thought the clasps were a bit odd when I first saw them, but look. 

These are the normal clasps on the armour:

And this is the Deathwalker’s ward when lit up with divine energy.

And it looks JUST LIKE a raven head, pupils and all!

The little design details in this show are just too fucking cool, I’m literally in love.

i really, really appreciate that TLOVM is keeping the nuance of the gods in this adaptation of the source material, especially the Raven Queen

why the raven queen? well, it's like she said to vax - some people fear death, even our intrepid adventurers, and while it may be the end of a life, it's also a beautiful thing. it gives our lives meaning and purpose, and everyone experiences it the same, even if not at the same time

and it would be so easy to simplify what matt has done with the matron's characterization up until this point. it's always easy to feel animosity towards death when it's chasing our heroes, because well, we don't want to see them die (see pib: the last wish). we don't want the characters we've seen rooting for kick the bucket, even though, at some point, they most likely will - peacefully or painfully, who's to say?

death is an easy enemy, is what i'm getting at. it's an easy target, and i'm just so grateful that they didn't take the easy way out

i’ve been feeling some kind of way since ep 4 

[robotshellyeah]

some thoughts about Deathwalker:

my favorite thing about babylon 5 has always been the conversations between the ambassadors and their aides. the show is not always a story from the perspective of the human characters - sometimes you get a window into how the aliens interact with each other when humans aren't around. I really liked the scene between Na'Toth and G'Kar about why she attacked Jha'dur. if it had been her explaining herself to a human like Sinclair or Garibaldi, the cultural practice underlying her desire for revenge would have been portrayed as "alien" and less legitimate. but instead she tells it to G'Kar, who understands her completely and tells her that her behavior was right (he says that she wouldn't be narn if she felt differently, and that he's proud of her!) and therefore we the audience are reassured that her motivations are not to be dismissed. it was refreshing to see G'Kar take her side and only tell her to wait because it was necessary for political maneuvering

the plotline with Talia was kind of upsetting - I don't think I appreciated when I watched the show for the first time in college how violating that experience would be, and Sinclair and Garibaldi were so nonchalant about it at the end. Talia was like "Kosh hired me under dubious circumstances, exposed me to terrifying stimuli, and recorded my thoughts without consent presumably with the intention of using them later to hurt me" and Sinclair and Garibaldi were like "lol yeah he's a wild one". I guess there's nothing they can do about it but still yikes

why was Garibaldi allowed to go through Jha'dur's stuff when she was unconscious, seems ethically questionable

my opinion of G'Kar is so heavily influenced by how he is in the later seasons, I forgot how slimy he is in season 1. I think he experiences the most character growth of any of the cast.

Lennier is the guy we all know who's way too into military history

Babylon 5 Rewatch, S1 E9: Deathwalker

Running a little late due to family committments, again.

"Do you think it will always be like this? Smaller powers at the mercy of greater powers, politics before morality, expediency before justice?"

I get older, and this sentiment gets truer. It's so bloody depressing.

Some other thoughts.

We see an interesting side of G'Kar when he's talking to Na'Toth here. Not exactly moral, but there's a definite kind of honor here.

I forgot how happy Londo seems to be at the end, when the Vorlons off Jha'Dur. For all that he was willing to vote against the trial, I think this shows what he really wanted.

Speaking of which, I always found that scene at the end where everyone is watching the monitor to be funny. There's no real in-Universe reason for them all to be there, it's just so we can easily see everyone's reactions; which tells us that something's going to happen.

Ah, a 23rd century reference to VCRs. I remember using VCRs to record B5 back before the DVDs were released.

My thoughts on Deathwalker!

Is it me or does the red, ridged docking bay look a bit like... something else?

In general B5 lighting is fun: lots of pinks, purples and blues that remind me of TOS. I wish more sci-fi was as colourful.

Dilgar eyes are terrifying. Make-up and costume design on this show continues to be great; I love the variety of alien designs.

Dr Handsome Dr Franklin continues to be the least developed recurring character. I would like to request some actual personality for him soon.

I shouldn't have watched this before dinner, because most of what I could think about in the first scene with Abbut is that a pastrami with a little mustard and an Antarean pickle sounded really good.

Well, that and finding the whole psychic attack thing implied here frightening.

I love it when Babylon 5 briefly turns into a workplace comedy, e.g. Sinclair: "I thought it best to handle this quietly"; Londo, looking around at the chaos: "Great job!"

Susan's quiet pleasure at being told that she's done a good job is adorable.

I'm a big fan of the alien spaceships that are actual flying saucers.

It seemed pretty obvious that Jha'dur wouldn't survive the episode, but I wasn't anticipating the mechanism.

This feels like another episode that sets up a bunch of things for further down the line: learning Talia's weaknesses, whatever's going on with the Vorlons, the concept of VCRs, the unhappiness of the non-aligned worlds, maybe even a demonstration of how disruptive a potential new technology could be to the fragile peace.

I'm genuinely enjoying that we're nine episodes in and I still don't have a sense for the overall arc of this show. Just looking forward to finding out how it's all going to come together.

Quick note: I'm a first time viewer, please don't add spoilers if you're reblogging my posts.

Babylon 5 Rewatch S1E9: Deathwalker

The Hour of Scampering, but of course

I know Deathwalker has plot armour here but man I would have thought that if Na'Toth wanted you dead, you would BE dead

LOL G'Kar's lil impatient wave at Na'Toth to follow him out of the interrogation room

LORDT Abbut's clothes, such 90s very pattern, wow

okokokshe would be dead, I didn't think of that

good to know that when people call the commander, the call goes right through with video on! what could go wrong with this

everyone and their mother knows about the hole in Sinclair's mind it seems

I adore Lennier so much, he is the best

Sinclair and Garibaldi are each other's conscience in this show/season and I always enjoy it. I'm very on Garibaldi's side here.

Sarah Douglas as Deathwalker gives such a visceral performance, it's great

I also enjoy the little history lesson we get on all the races

FISH LADY

Garibaldi apologising to Sinclair is such a nice touch

Lennier does NOT like his instructions, that's for sure

yessssss we get to see a whole bunch of alien ships and it's really fucking cool

people always complain about B5's special effect but come on, they look fine. More than fine, actually.

aw Ivanova is so proud when Sinclair compliments her work

Thalia, just punch him in the brain

also, it seems terribly unwise to have your brain out in the open like this but what do I know

the twist to that immortality serum is so good and Deathwalker delivers it with such relish

AND THE VORLONS WITH THE STEEL CHAIR

I really like this episode for all the background information we get on the races, the dilemma Deathwalker presents everyone with and seeing how they all deal with it. The immortality serum itself makes zero sense but it doesn't need to, it's there to kick the story into gear and that it does very well.
