#hels tango

[silverskye13]

Have you seen the coliseum? The jaws, the stands, the banners, and blood? The crowds, the roaring magnanimous flood? Their voices, the ocean, the pulse in your ears, the shape of their outcry, the shape of your fear. Your sword is the lightning, the thunder their praise, the silence befallen your hand when it's stayed. You should see the coliseum, the fights in the sand, your soul in your teeth and your glory demand. As if you were thunder, the god of the storm, you, gladiator, the proud and hels-born.

Edit: I forgot to add a description to this because I schedule my posts here it is:

Helsmits binge two weeks coming,

The Helsknight drawing is angst over his death while I listened to His theme by Caleb Hyles

And the tango drawing was a thought process of, “I need to redesign PP…what if I invert his colors…?what should I make him? Bird. Opposite of tango is obviously a bird.”

[mleemwyvern]

how good is every word of the nato phonetic alphabet for hels tango names? lets see! this is all my opinion, yours may vary

Alfa

i could see it working, but it wouldnt be an early pick for me. kinda mid.

Bravo

very good! a tried and true hels tango name, close in vibes and sound.

Charlie

a Regular Name, works pretty well. not to be confused with charlie of impulses chocolate factory from s8 (thats a helspulse).

Delta

i like this one. great for a particularly sciency hels, ive used it for my hels zed but it can fit a tango too.

Echo

quality vibes. i think this ones really underrated, i havent seen any echo hels tangos and i think there should be one.

Foxtrot

the only other dance option. 10/10 just for that.

Golf

i dont think this is a very good name but i could see it be good for crackfics.

Hotel

probably not.

India

hm... i wouldnt use this one, but i think i could see it.

Juliett

i mean if your hels tango is a girl than its a great option.

Kilo

....... maybe?

Lima

not.... completely horrible. but its not on my list. i could see it in crackfics.

Mike

great if you want a hels tango thats Just A Guy. this is a just a guy name.

November

i guess you could but. why.

Oscar

its a name! it doesnt have particularly tangoey vibes to me though. but you could definitely use it.

Papa

please no.

Quebec

dont like this one but if you're really going to call a hels tango this than you should make him speak french.

Romeo

a good one! has the Sounds and the Vibes. lends itself to a charmer type of hels, which could be interesting.

Sierra

i could see it.

Tango

the og. sometimes he can be the hels, if thats the case then you can use this list for his overworld counterpart!

Uniform

uh, no thank you.

Victor

love this one! used it for my hels tango and it fits him very well. would recommend.

Whiskey

..... why. just, why. i cant see this working.

Xray

yeah.... i dont think this is a good name.

Yankee

crackfic Only. i cannot take this one seriously.

Zulu

the vibes dont click with me but i guess i dont hate it.

in conclusion: the quality varies drastically. there are so many options. if you cant decide just make an au where there are 25 hels tangos (one for each name) it would be really funny.

Alright tumblr

babe, there's somethin' tragic about you

This pose and palette came to me in a vision while listening to from eden, so of course i had to draw it! i haven't made hels to pay fanart in a bit but it still occupies my mind rent free. In fact this AU is so good that it lives in its own private penthouse in my brain sipping bourbon and eating figs drizzled with honey, i love it so much

Outstanding AU written by the brilliant @aquaquadrant and illustrated by the skilled @lunarcrown!

Just read @aquaquadrant and @lunarcrown 's Hels to Pay AU and man was I not expecting my heart to BLEAD for Timmy.

I want him and Jimmy to bond, I want him to be able to fly, I want him to be healthy with the fluffy hair and wings he deserves, and give him a nice shawl too. Just incase he gets cold.

2023-04-22 reposted/archived from my old blog

november! my hels!tango guy! weird sculk clone dude!

[aquaquadrant]

updated grian and martyn’s watcher backstory for the HTP au (y’all know the drill by now: this won’t feature in the main storyline but it is canon to the au. also read here for some general watcher info)

old canon: grian is a watcher and martyn is a listener.

new canon: yes, but also no. for some context, i’ve decided that the evolution smp takes place a few years before grian joins hermitcraft, rather than having them overlap like in reality. at that point, the only hermitcrafter grian knew was mumbo.

grian was taken by watchers during the evolution smp but it wasn’t voluntary. they took his physical eyes and gave him watcher eyes, but he escaped before he could be completely transformed. so he does have some watcher abilities; he’s sustained by the universe (doesn’t need to eat food but choses to do so to fit in) and he can sort of peek into other worlds, but he can’t enter the aether. he was given his watcher name, xelqua, but it didn’t actually replace his username.

grian sees using his watcher eyes, but he didn’t like the idea of having empty sockets so he had mumbo make him cybernetic replacements (without telling him what happened of course). after it happened he just showed up on mumbo’s doorstep with empty bleeding eye sockets like “hey can u make me some new eyes lmao.” the cybernetics were made specifically to look organic but sometimes they don’t agree with grian and he bleeds purple from them.

grian hates what he almost became and keeps his watcher abilities and cybernetic eyes a secret. the other evolution smp members don’t know what happened after grian was taken, because he’s keeping quiet about it.

martyn, a listener, was taken by watchers after their failed attempt with grian, as the watcher’s second choice from evo. he lost one eye before he escaped, and he has little memory of the encounter and no watcher abilities. he’s also got scars where the watcher clawed him as he pulled free and tore his ear. he isn’t sure how he lost his eye, just that it was very traumatic, so he’s keeping quiet about it.

the watchers spoke to martyn again after last life but his memory is fuzzy and he’s keeping quiet about it.

grian knows martyn encountered the watchers but is keeping quiet about it.

bonus: scott is also a listener, but he’s always defied the watchers’ will so they have no interest in trying to recruit him. he suspects that grian’s involved with the watchers and that martyn is a listener, but is keeping quiet about it.

can these idiots just talk to each other please they could have a real bonding moment about it.

Lyrics are to Peter Hollin's cover of God Help the Outcasts, which I recommend giving a listen if you haven't heard it, or would just like to hear the swelling music with some of the more dramatic poses.

I also highly recommend opening the images in a new window, if you're having trouble reading the text or seeing details.

I think this is the closest I've ever gotten to making an animatic XD

Tanguish doing musical theater in the Saint of Blood and Steel's cathedral, heavily, heavily based [as in straight up ripped from] Notre Dame de Paris, as well as the Chartes choir reliefs, and also I think the entry area is from Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal? I'm not sure I've lost the reference image. But I'll throw that name in the bucket in case y'all would like to look that one up as well! The altar piece is beautiful.

[soe-or-something-similar]

What if I'm the monster?

I've been far too obsessed with this blorbo lately, from @aquaquadrant and @lunarcrown's Hels To Pay AU. Bravo has been scampering in circles around my brain and he won't stop. I felt like the song Monster from Epic the Musical fit with him so so well, so I had to make this, hehe.

close up below

[fagladder]

frostbite au sketches that are small enough for me to shove in one post lol

[artshokad2]

Since part 10 is coming out tomorrow, have some older bravo and timmy doodles from @lunarcrown and @aquaquadrant 's absolutely AMAZING fic, "From Eden"

Close ups and some traditional doodles i did in class today (ft. a VERY pissed off Ash)

[watcheraurora]

Okay so I have had @aquaquadrant and @lunarcrown’s Hels to Pay AU rotating in my brain kinda constantly for the past little while

Sorry? about the tag if it's annoying but wanted to give credit where it's due

And with the 1.21 release this week introducing the Breeze

And with the Breeze being a sort of overworld variant of a Blaze (both visually and dropping Breeze Rods as loot)

Kinda makes me imagine that apparently-normal-human-looking-Bravo Biz might have some… Breezy bits that he’s either kept hidden or are waiting to manifest…

Hear me out

the potential for self-discovery or self-acceptance or Angst is so good here

like I’m imagining that he kept his Breeze stuff hidden in Hels to protect himself, subconsciously knowing he couldn’t trust anyone with knowing what he is because that could potentially put him in Even More Danger. even (and perhaps especially) from Atlas

OR he thinks he’s normal and then the worlds throughout the Universe update and he just Suddenly Is a Breeze hybrid when he never was before

and he has to reconcile that with his perception of Tango and how Bravo sees himself

Just thinking about when Bravo called Tango a monster and it made Tango freeze and with a Breeze hybrid manifestation Bravo needing to take a step back and really take a hard look at himself and how the two of them are not that different and those differences seem to get fewer and fewer every day and just—

*rotates these two around one another in my head like stars on a collision course*

[leapdayowo]

It’s finally finished!

Them!! My silly lil guys! The ones that make cartoon noises when they splat!!

Oh man, what a fun project :) I’ve been wanting to do a proper watercolor for one of my favorite current fanfics Redstone and Skulk by @silverskye13 and I have done it! I really love Tango and Tanguish’s dynamic and envisioning them working together on decked out. Putting the name tag on the warden is one of many scenes that sticks out to me :)

Since it’s one of my goals for this year, I tried to make the lighting more interesting and dynamic. Tango’s orange, fire hair was a wonderful contrast to the blue ice cavern! I did heavily debate putting my usual line art with a pen, but decided not to so as not to lose some of the details from my colored pencils. Unfortunately, I once again forgot to take a picture at the sketch phase to show the progress :P

Regardless, I hope I captured just how much these two are creatures in my mind :3
