The Summer Tournement | Squire’s Gauntlet

While tournaments have historically been about battle readiness, in this place and age they are more about demonstrating survival skills; there’s various forms of combat, but also obstacle courses, speed tests (packing your gear, assembling a shelter, repairing a radio), a rodeo, etc., and though Knights still compete, the majority of the focus is on the Squires—the tournament used as a proving ground to earn their Knighthood.

With birth rates so low and death rates among knights so high, the Guild of Mothers decided that while a life of service and chivalry (Mars’ Knights being sort of a cross between cowboys, law enforcement, park rangers, and relief aid) is absolutely the most noble of pursuits, if you want to go haring about the Martian wilderness you have to prove you can survive the kinds of challenges you are likely to encounter—

Which means you have to prove you can survive as many of them as can be replicated in an arena, back to back, for three days straight.

If you can survive a tournament, you can survive anything—and if you can’t, you survive finding that out. If you score in the top five you get Knighted, if not, you can try again next summer*.

It’s a good system: in the past hundred years the number of Knights has actually gone up, since their mortality rates have gone down.

The Five Titles awarded to graduating Squires

Black Knight: Best tactics, made least errors/received the least amount of penalties.

Gold Knight: Scored most points averaged over all challenges.

Green Knight: Scored Highest in survival/field challenges (shelter, repairs, foraging)

Blue Knight: Scored highest simulated medical emergencies.

Red Knight: Scored highest in combat (while the titles are equal, this one is generally looked a little askance at. You don’t win by being chivalrous. It’s a necessary skill, but congratulations, you’re very good at violence! isn’t really a title anyone wants in a culture that prides itself on kindness and cooperation.)

*Which is about two years away, as a Martian year is 1.88 Earth years. Squires can apprentice to a Knight as young as 10 (Earth years), but can’t compete until before they are 15 (EY), most decide they’d rather go back to school or do something else with their life, most of those who are set on their course are Knighted in their second or third tournament, between the ages of 17-22 (EY).)

leisure drive down the streets of central london! 💨

well. a leisure drive for one of them anyway.

[amimuu]

Vows.

[‼️TRIGGER WARNING: Implied decapitation, blood. Discretion is advised ‼️]

It’s done! Yay! 3 days of work later, but super worth it!

Now- what is going on?? Well. Like the previous post, this comic takes place in a timeline in which the Lamb decides to willingly return the crown, resulting in their demise, yet find themselves brought back to life shortly after by the god of death himself. Why did he do it? What is he planning? What could he possibly need the lamb for? Why won’t he let them rest?

Hopefully all these questions will be answered in further updates (definitely simpler than this comic) but I’ll gladly take asks if anyone’s curious =v=

Sadly I still don’t have a name for the au—but hopefully I’ll settle for something soon! In the meantime I’ll just tag it as “vows to ash au” or smt like that. Until then!

Christ.

[Part 1] [Part 2] [PART 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] [Part 6] [Part 7] [Don’t Let it Reach the Heart]

Finally! Part 3 is here!! yippee!!! As a refresher, this takes place at the beginning of season 9, when Doc and Xisuma try to boot Etho back up after he shuts down pre-Season 8 Finale, set to the vibes of Joywave’s Destruction from DBHC Etho’s playlist! Ouguguh I’ve been looking forward to posting this part so much; it has some of my favorite shots so far… something about the grey-fade of Doc going into shock, something about the last two pages with xisuma and doc’s expressions… idk!! i really loved working on these :] Hope you’re enjoying the horrific, horrific ride!! =w=

As a partially insignificant but Special-To-Me note: Xisuma has always referred to dbhc doc as “Docm”— this is actually the first time X ever calls him “Doc.”

Wooohoo !! Monster x Reverse Falls au with ultra dupa new lore.

[1/2] — Because next up is ; Stan, Ford, Pacifica anddd Gideon ! Link here when it happens.

I’ll add more info under the cut but here are the basics —

Mason -> Tufted Deer

Mason ‘Dipper’ Gleeful was taken in along side his twin sister by Stan Gleeful. Together with Mabel, they help Stan with attractions.

Mabel -> Caecalia

Mabel ��Ursa’ Gleeful has a lot of trouble getting around, as such where her and her brother lives, the floor and certain walls are made out glass filled with water to allow for safe travel.

Will -> Elf

William Cipher, also nicknamed Will, is an Elf who was enrolled by ‘pressure’ to work for the twins and help them with their deeds. Behind the meek/shy appearance, he’s not very nice or kind.

I had SO much trouble figuring out a coherent storyline….

But here’s what I figured out so far !

Human and fantastic creatures are far from living in harmony; some of the creatures have made their own town cut off from the rest of the population.

One of the only towns is named Gravity Falls. It’s very diverse !

Gideon and Pacifica Southeast are childhood friends, Pacifica having acted as the one Gideon could rely on for the longest time.

Gideon is a phantom, while Pacifica is an unicorn.

Ursa and Dipper are the main event of the town, living in a previously abandoned mansion that was restored and rebuilt by Stan Gleeful.

Ursa is nicknamed that due to matching with her twin — ‘Ursa major’ being a constellation.

While twins, they’re from different species ; their creations was artificial.

Will is…. Well I can’t say he’s planning nothin !!

PS : if you have any questions, go ahead ! It helps with worldbuilding and characters <3
