Trivia Tuesday- Arbiter

Did You Know that during the development of Halo Wars, Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee saw several redesigns? Blur Studio thought Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee didn't look cool enough, so they tried to make Ripa more intimidating, but ultimately settled on a design similar to Thel.

[doom-nerdo-666]

"Playable beta builds of Halo 1 just dropped today, from before the game became an FPS"

"The Halo MCC Digsite team, which restored major cut Halo content for 343 Industries for FREE, just had all of their unreleased content leaked. Previously, many Digsite members left the team because they can’t afford to continue without being paid and disagreements with Microsoft. It’s a sad situation because the Digsite team worked very hard to make cut Halo content playable in MCC without getting paid and now many members aren’t returning."

"Two former Digsite members commented on the situation. One says they couldn’t justify what Halo Studios was expecting of them without being paid and don’t agree with how Halo Studios views/manages the community. As stated above, there were disagreements with Microsoft too. The other says they left because half the team couldn’t afford rent or food because of the amount of unpaid work."

"A current Halo Studios employee who works with the Digsite team commented on the situation: “There will almost certainly no longer be any further work of this kind.”"

[aziraphales-library]

Hello librarian squad!

First of all I would like to thank you for all the work you're doing and providing the fandom with reading material, you're doing god's work<3

I was wondering if you, by chance knew some good gomens university AU fics with enemies to lovers trope? Preferably a longer one

Thank you in advance!

Here are all the enemies/rivals to lovers university fics I could find...

More of a Comment than a Question by CemeteryAngel725 (W)

Dr. Aziraphale Fell and Dr. Anthony Crowley are both architectural historians in the same department. You would think they would have a lot in common, but it's the exact opposite - from the day they met, Crowley has done everything in his power to annoy Aziraphale. But now they're being forced to share a hotel room at an academic conference, and Aziraphale is worried. Will they survive the weekend?

A Halo Effect by Tv_Saved_The_Teenage_Girl (T)

Living with a roommate so different from you can start to get on your nerves, but when Aziraphale takes care of Crowley one drunken night, things start to change between them. What will happen when Aziraphale finds out Crowley is in an abusive relationship?

Play The Game by ffonippop (M)

Aziraphale was a university student on his last grueling year of pursuing a joint-honors Bachelors degree in Biology and Theology. His favorite day of the week was Sunday, because on Sunday, he could forget about the lab and leave behind the library to gather with his friends and play a competitive game of trivia— Quiz Bowl. He liked Quiz Bowl because it was a brain game, it was engaging, and it promoted teamwork. But most of all, he liked Quiz Bowl because he was the best at it. Until Crowley, the arrogant bastard with a swagger in his saunter, started showing up.

The Shared Desk Dilemma by MissUnderstoodLyrics (E)

In the hallowed halls of Eden University, professors Aziraphale Eastgate and Anthony Crowley share a desk but have nothing else in common—except for their knack for outwitting each other with escalating pranks that have the entire faculty taking sides. When the university president, in a desperate bid to restore peace, mandates a team-building retreat, the adversaries find themselves reluctantly sharing a room, and sparks fly. Crowley can't stand the pompous, irksome Dr. Eastgate, and the feeling appears to be mutual, yet they can't seem to keep their hands off each other.

A Tricky Situation (Entirely of his own making) by sixbynine (E)

"Crowley stood up and went to leave, he turned back just as he opened the door and took a deep breath. “You know I was quite excited to come here and work with you. I enjoyed reading your work. I disagree with a lot of it, but your writing style is lovely and every so often you’d let that privileged rich white boy mask drop and it was fantastic. I was hoping to meet that Professor Fell, but I’m beginning to think maybe he doesn’t exist and I’m going to be stuck with a rude stuck up arsehole for the next five years.” He slammed the door behind him before Aziraphale could respond. Aziraphale gaped, open mouthed, at the shut door." -- Aziraphale is teaching at Kings College London. He's been teaching at King College London for a long time now thank you very much and he does not take kindly to new Professors being sprung on him suddenly. Especially when this one has quite publically made his opinon of Aziraphale's work known. Luckily Aziraphale has an understanding penpal...

100 days of art, 10/100

Veilguard player character tarot card for my Crow Rook Serafina de Riva! I wanted her to look just a bit cheeky and generally quite sweet, but the card as a whole to seem just a little bit more menacing - hence the spiky, bleeding halo and all the red.

Bonus trivia: It's a bit hard to see, but the hills on the shores of the lil' snippet of lake in the background are vaguely inspired by the Lake Garda crocodile rock, mostly because I'm very fond of it.

(and as per usual, the Dragon Age sideblog is @cursed-candlehop; I'm just posting this here first to keep all the 100 Day arts together)

Trivia Tuesday

Did You Know that May 28, 2560 is the 50th birthday of Atriox? Ironically, this is also the same day that Fernando Esparza discovered John-117, who then proceeded to go on a killing spree through the local Banished leadership at Zeta Halo. Happy Birthday!

Took this from /vr/, not sure what the original source is (feel free to let me know) but it seemed like an interesting image.

Dandy's World OC: Luci the Imp

Bio and details below!

“Luci’s a toon to watch out for, for she’s a grade A troublemaker. From lies, to rumors, to some good ol’ fashioned sabotage, others’ misfortune is their entertainment.”

Appearance

Luci is a humanoid Toon with lavender purple skin and dark purple hair. She has a pair of red horns on her head as well as a red devil tail and a pair of small red wings on her back.

As her title card says, Luci is a grade A troublemaker. She’s a mischievous, cheeky, rowdy, and tough toon who loves to cause misfortunate, drama, and chaos for her own amusement. Though she’s also not above doing so in the name of envy or revenge as well.

Luci hates being bored, and isn’t shy about complaining about being bored. Despite her nimbleness and cleverness, she usually gets her comeuppance due to either overconfidence, lack of foresight, or underestimating something or someone. 

Believe it or not, she does actually have standards. As she refuses to pull anything that might result in someone’s injury (as in major ones), emotional damage (as in major emotional damage), or death, and will help others for the greater good should the need arise.

Fantasy OC Maker - Create your Tav/Durges

Create your Tav/Durge with this picrew!

I got mentioned by @arach-tinilith @mogruith and @theannoyingurge so now you all get to see my second main hobby: making Dirge in picrews and lamenting how they never have his horns or lip scars 💜

tagging: @hootshooch ; @the-weeping-dawn ; @trappedinafantasy37

many ppl in the tag game circle already knocked this one out but i rly love seeing ppls picrews of ppls ocs so if you aren't tagged and see this, do it anyways 🪄✨ (<- me casting a spell that makes u post picrew of ur oc and tag me)

BONUS under the readmore: more dirge alts cuz i had fun with the backgrounds

playing around with representing Dirge's patron Caiphon since they very conveniently had both dozens of eyes and a space+stars background option. they ended up v busy looking tho, so i didnt use them. some trivia! dirges magic IS green, because its visually identical to casting Speak with Dead in bg3! his just looks like that for everything

playing around with Dirge halo designs! I feel like he'd have one for when he rly starts showing his divine heritage

the leash and collar are so important. you dont even know how important they are. and the claws. and the encroaching madness while surrounded by the mountains of bodies left in your wake.

but mostly the leash

[simonsacryptid]

use this ask as an excuse to post more about your life series winners au 👉👈 (i like the aesthetic of all the winners sharing a vast albeit eerily empty castle) (i am v interested) (forward slash not forcing)

OMG YEH OFC

Here are my ideas for the windows! (I only drew out three of them so far because i did them during history class)

Grians window is of him standing in the vast dessert. The sun is blaring behind his head and his hair and shawl are blowing in the wind. He has his macaw wings, but their tattered from explosions and the such— only one eye is visible, tears flowing down his cheek and a purple tint to his usual eye color. Only one hand is stretched out, the wind blowing red sand from it. The rimming is gold with soft spirals and edges, symbolizing the softness he felt for Scar (and a very bad doodle of it for you)

Scott's window is a little more elegant. He's standing on a tree, like he was when he got his last kill, and he has a hand over his heart. His other hand is outstretched in a pinky promise to the other two G's, promising his loyalty and the full truth. The scene is at night, with stars creating a small halo around his head. He's also starting directly at whoever is recreating this scene with a soft smile. The rims are shaper, symbolizing the harsh winter that Last Life took place during and the brutality of the game itself. Theyre silver

Pearl's window is the first one to not be directly looking forward, instead looking somewhere out of the scene. She's giving a salute as wind comes rushing at her and there's a glow from a nearby explosion. Her hands and knees have frostbite on them, and her eyes are tired from countless nights alone. Her tower can be seen in the background, and there's the moon behind her head. Stars scatter the night sky, but are flickering in and out of visibility. Tilly is sitting near her feet. The rims of this one are ridgid and broken, made of slowly oxydizing copper, showing her broken and decaying heart.

Martyn's scene is underwater, with seaweed flowing around him and coral poking out of his head. He has a hand raised with a timer striking 0:00 in it, and his other hand covering his eyes. The water makes his hair flow and his ears visible, making his window the only one to have ears included and not eyes. Even thoigh he's in the water, theres still a red planet—Mars—behind his head, reflecting against the waves and creating a contrast to an otherwise very green and blue window. There are bubbles surrounding him. The rim mimics the coral on his head, made of diamonds. Innocent and beautiful, but harsh and cruel if forged in the right ways.

Scars window is another unique one. His head perfectly aligns so it's infront of Bdubs's Earth-Base, somehow repaired from the fires. He's standing in a feild of sunflowers at night, facing away. The black of his cloak shows, as well as his hat, both adorned with lilacs and poppies over black fabric. His face is entirely obscured by the hat except for his sad smile. The rim is amethyst, mimicing the Evo symbol. There are swirls along it that look vaguely like writing from afar.

Cleo's scene is in a village. Pluto is behind her head and she's got a VR headset that she's actively taking off. She looks exhausted from the final fight, but happy that it's over with. One of her eyes is still blocked by the headset, the other changing between closed in relief to open and looking at people passing by. It changes whether she's due for another visit to the castle or not

Joel's is the only one expressing real joy. He's holding an enderpearl in one hand and a sword in another, the enderpearl having a comet-like trail behind it. Around his neck is a key to the car thats silhouetted behind him. There are references to various wold cards around him, like curls in the frame resembling snails, lighting striking in the back for the trivia bot, and a clock around his waist to keep track of how fast they're moving. Overall he just looks cool and happy to be there, a stark difference from the other winners

[wyfy-meltdown]

I did it again!!! Meet my second PMMM OC: Shinoha Murofushi!

More info below the cut *⁠.⁠✧

Basic Info:

Name: Shinoha Murofushi

Age: 16

Height: 5'6

Wish: "'My ultimate dream could come true'... If that's really the case then, I want to get revenge on those bastards!"

Weapon: Dual Swords

Power: The ability to release attacks used against her back at an enemy*

Soul Gem: Bellflower (*also somewhat looks like a skull) located below the chest, with scales on the bottom of the soul gem

Witch: Nemesis

*She can only absorb attacks that have hit her, and will take damage from anything that hits her. She can store damage for as long as she wants, but when she releases it, every attack she's stores gets released at once. However the attack affected her is how it will affect the target she releases on: Ex. Someone punches her causing a bloody nose, Shinoha releases her damage, and the puncher gains a bloody nose and the pain that caused the bloody nose. Ex2. Someone breaks her arm with a baseball bat, Shinoha releases her damage, and the batter gains a broken arm and the pain of a baseball bat to the arm.

Personality:

She's incredibly standoffish and tries her best to be alone at all times. She rarely leaves her room, and hates going to school. She's quick to judge and mistrust others, and it's incredibly hard for her to lower her guard. She's learned to cut her own hair (due to avoiding leaving the house) and while she has exceptional talent doing so, she has no interest in being a hairdresser. She rarely sleeps, and is always tired. She maintains a perfect poker face, but struggles with violent thoughts and self-loathing: becoming a magical girl has given her an outlet for her struggles, although she gets very brutal in fights. Her favorite food is seafood, and she can't stand the taste of sweet things. Despite her dark thoughts, she's very meek, and seldom voices her opinions and feelings. If she's got a problem with someone, they likely don't know until it's too late. Her downbeat nature means she doesn't have many hobbies; she spends most of her time on her phone, and is a closet idol fanatic.

Design Breakdown:

This design was a challenge and a pain. I struggled A LOT to incorporate her "revenge" wish and find a good theming for it, but all I could really work with was "greek goddess Nemesis" (justice/law/punishment theme). I managed to fit in some wing-like shapes (skirt, swords) but I don't know if it's obvious enough(?) Her hair-circle is meant to look like a halo (angel of punishment theme) but I'm not sure if it just looks like a random circle or an actual halo. I included bellflower motifs because... I have no real reason; nice concept, but I can't draw bellflowers well. Her colour palette was the most difficult part (theming second) because no colours fit her??? I don't know how to describe it, but no colours worked right with her personality (not even black or white). I settled on green with grey hair, but it'll probably change if I ever draw her again. I fear her design is a little to "fantasy" not enough "magical girl" (but that might just be my "ruffles/pink" brainrot). I tried really hard to give her a should cloak, then a caplet, and finally I gave up and just went with the sleeves.

Overall: she was a struggle, and I don't think I got across my theming and motifs well. I might try to redesign her in the future, but for now I'm content with this: I think it's good for my current skill level and her current concept.

Trivia:

She didn't believe in magical girls at all, but after much pestering convincing from Komoe, she unseriously made a wish before becoming a magical girl

Her damage absorbing ability causes her to intentionally endanger herself in fights against witches (possible concept)

Originally her plan was to kill her bullies, but she instead opted to use her power to curse them

She would've liked to be the brooding loner type of magical girl, but Komoe had other plans

She has a mini fridge in her room and it's her favorite thing in the world

It's always dark in her room, so she can see well in the dark (potential plot point later[?])

She's a big fan of spy, action, and mystery movies; and has some form of online review blog

She has a mannequin in her room she vents her frustrations and feelings to (she strongly dislikes showing emotions in public and/or around others)

As much as she's tried to fight it, Komoe often comes to her house with groceries, grief seeds, gifts, and other things to give to Shinoha

Although she was initially very unhappy about becoming a magical girl (she kinda became a magical girl on accident), she's slowly learning to embrace her magical girl persona (and becoming more deranged in the process!)

She named her magical girl swords after her two favorite idols, and has begun a personal sword collection (a goal Komoe helped her set was to eventually forge a sword herself)

She once drank a small bottle of vanilla extract without batting an eye (it was dark, she was tired and didn't feel like reading)

She punts around Inkyuu like a ball
