TENNOCON 2024 DIGITAL PACK GIVEAWAY! *

* Provided by Digital Extremes! Info about the TennoCon 2024 Digital Pack here. Includes the funny backpack syandana :)

To enter, simply reblog with your art of any Warframe character with a backpack!

Giveaway entries will close and the winner will be randomly chosen on JULY 1st at 10:00pm EST

Post for the above art can be found here!

More info under the cut, PLEASE READ IT IF YOU WANT TO ENTER!

(same info as my past giveaways if you've seen those)

This is not a contest! The winner will be decided entirely randomly, art quality will have no effect on chances of winning! Make whatever you can in any medium you want! (not including unedited captura/game screenshots)

Please submit your own art!! Do not use any AI generation tools for your entry.

Only one entry per person, you will not get more entries for additional reblogs and/or drawings.

The goal of this is for the community to make a fun little gallery of Warframe art in the reblogs, but don't stress over how "good" your drawing is! As long as you submit something vaguely in line with the prompt you're good! (You can find previous giveaway galleries here!)

You do not need to engage with me in any other way (likes, follows, etc.) to enter, just a reblog with art loosely following the prompt! The only way to submit images under a single post on Tumblr is through reblogs, but please know that I do not intend this to be a means of promotion. If people could submit images in the replies I would gladly take that option!

If you have any feedback about the giveaway please let me know! :)

Here are some example submissions that would also work, but of course whatever you want to make doesn't have to be limited to this!

I will be assigning one unique number per individual and then throwing them into the random number generator on random.org. (Edit: you can find the spreadsheet with info on each entry here!) After the entries close and I roll the winner, I will update this post with the winner's name and a message saying that the giveaway is closed. Reblogs will also be turned off once the giveaway is closed, as I am only using reblogs as means of congregating drawing submissions under one post during the giveaway period.

Whoever's number gets chosen will be messaged here on Tumblr, so please make sure your DMs are open! I will be asking for your Warframe IGN and platform so DE can give send over your prize! If you have cross-save linked or merged then please tell me, though I will also be asking in DMs as well. If the winner doesn't respond within 24 hours or no longer wants the prime access pack, then I will roll a new winner with the same method but with the previous winner(s) number(s) taken out of the pool.

Anyways good luck and have fun!! :)

more on the huntress . she is a hildryn frame. not a prime, but she wears the necklace and loincloth of a prime with all the trophies and stuff. i don't particularly think those would have to be prime exclusive--anyone can get a necklace and a loincloth and kill things to decorate it if they wanted to. she just so happens to very much want to.

prior to being (involuntarily) turned into a warframe, she cared very much about her body image and she put a lot of her work and time into strength training, working out, etc. etc. i don't think she was a dax soldier--she did what she did for fun, not as a job that would take over her life. she was extremely steady of the mind, disciplined and intense, a loner, but not outright hostile to social interaction... most of the time. she preferred to be a hermit off somewhere. but above all else, her body was important to her.

when she was given the helminth strain, her relationship with her body became extraordinarily strained. it was totally alien to her, and yet familiar, changed, and unable to go back ever. it brought her a lot of pain and anger, as it did with most warframes. the solution proposed, of course, was the transference system with the tenno.

ever the hater, she despised that the transference program worked on a system of pity and understanding. sympathy implied understanding a humanity she wasn't supposed to have. by sympathizing with her, she had humanity forced back into her, which was designed to be broken all over again. and she refused to be broken further. so transferring into her often left behind deep, bruise-like impressions of pure disdain and hatred. she didn't want you there, but she was forcing herself to let you come along for the ride.

additionally, to the huntress, transference only served as an option to be shoved in her face. she went along with the idea that her body was to be a tool now, something to be wielded by someone else who wasn't her, and she hated that, too. she was losing control and she hated feeling herself want to give herself over entirely. this wasn't like her. this wasn't her. this body wasn't her. she was not her body.

the huntress leaned into this 'body as a tool' mindset and began to further cut herself off from herself as being her body. if you had your arm trapped under a boulder, and you had the knife and the guts to do it, would you cut your arm off to live another day? or would you let yourself starve? she made her choice. her identity had to retreat purely into her mind to protect her sanity and retain control over transference. as long as she kept 'herself' away from the body, and the body away from 'herself,' she would be safe.

of course, living like this under the orokin meant it stuck with her for centuries to come. despite not needing to worry about orokin rule at the moment, she still doesn't treat her current body with a modicum of respect or care. she's extremely reckless with herself and views herself as a vehicle for the hunt more than the woman she once was. she became what she does, not what she is. she hunts, she chases after targets and trophies, she tries to impress the girl she likes, and she avoids a lot of reflective surfaces.

IM BACK WITH THE WARFRAME AU

You might ask yourself, Aku...what is a Warframe...and the only thing I am going to say to that is a biomechanic warriors with awesome power.

SO HERE'S A 9-HOUR VIDEO ON ALL OF WARFRAME'S LORE IF YOU ARE THAT CURIOUS

Hi, if you're a Warframe fan with no idea who or what the Bat Family is...I'll sum that up as the Batman Family, aka all the kids and heroes he decided were "his". Anyways, this obviously isn't all of them but these are the ones I care about. I'm too lazy to do anything more than the bare minimum rn

Au below the cut: CAUTION, IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE WAR WITHIN THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!

Also...im not following the no-killing rule with this AU as it is impossible for it, as someone needs to control Grineer population.

Bruce Wayne/Batman:

Ash Prime - the most assassin stealth-based Warframe literally has a batman skin -like no one can look me in the eye and say this isn't Batman

Excalibur Prime - a limited edition Prime Warframe, no long available to buy and or make

Hildryn - Honestly, big buff lady who is a tank-support

Protea - utility support with massive firepower

Vauban Prime - similar to Protea but way more defensive-based rather than support fits Bruce pretty well when it comes to taking out crowds

Rhino Prime -Tankiest boy, a proud beast

Harrow Prime -this one cracks me up. Harrow is a Warframe that casts its abilities by flogging itself and its whole back story is about carrying the weight of the world on its shoulders to hold back a force of evil and punishing itself...literally Bruce

Excalibur Umbra - I'm gonna expand on this a little and if you have not played the Sacrifice please ignore this or if you don't care...keep reading I guess. - Umbra kills his own child when he becomes fully infested, he is one of the few Warframes that have recorded sentience. -I think its fitting for Bruce.

Why does Bruce have mostly all primes you may be asking yourself, and to be clear you know exactly why motherfucker. Because he's fuckin' Bruce Wayne. I don't think I need a better reason other than he is (A) Bruce Wayne (B) Batman.

Dick Grayson/Nightwing:

Zephyr Prime - b-bird...it flies, its a bird because h-hes robin - also her idle animations have MASSIVE Dickergy

Baruuk - I know hes a "pacifist" but blah blah blah I don't care, he is scary when he loses his "restraint" and so is Dick

Titania - I...I don't actually have a reason for this, I just find it fitting

Excalibur - a classic, basic, but matches Bruce in being one of the OGs - he's a true classic and an OG but incredibly powerful nonetheless, fan fav, poster boy, you get it.

Nezha - fruity ass Nezha, jumpy, always moving, kinda like Dick

Wukong - hehehhe monke...he just has that playful energy in his abilities like Dick. Oh, and the cloud. LOVES the cloud and the twin he can summon.

Mirage - the same thing with Wukong, it plays with Dick's teasing fun nature. I think he would take advantage of her duplicates when in comes to fights, seeing as how Dick has a tendency to be fuckin' stupid and not call in for help so having holograms that can pack some damage and copy your moves seems like something he needs Dick started with Zephyr, enjoying the fact that he could shoot across the sky with her. He's not a fan of running like Volt or Gauss, he enjoys being in the air like he can be with Zephyr, Wukong, and Titania. I think he regrets having Zephyr as the Prime Bruce gives him.

Jason Todd/Red Hood:

Mesa Prime - she is literally a gunslinger, she gets a buff if she goes into missed with no melee weapon equipped. What more could Jason want in a Warframe?

Rhino - tanky, built like a fridge, like Jason

Styanax - based on hoplite soldiers, a warrior, fitting.

Sevagoth - a Warframe split in two from death, "Return eternally from beyond the grave, as his Shadow eclipses the light while harvesting wicked souls to sate his esurient darkness." Again, fitting

Nidus - fucked up a bastardization of Warframes, its insides look like its outside, unlike many other Warframes. Idk, again, felt fitting

Atlas - idk, bicc, tanky, no real deep reason. Probably just enjoys the backup he can summon

Banshee - thinking about this from an All-Caste standpoint, Banshee's utility wise is incredibly strong for assassinations as she can cancel out all noise and track enemies easily.

Revenant -rose from the dead - "This is Revenant, the returned - the condemned. Harnessing the essence of Eidolon and warrior alike, he mystifies and obliterates his foes. Revenant serves last rites for the souls he leaves on fire, without a plea for mercy."

again...fitting

Valkyr

angry, sacrificed herself and experimented on. Could compare to the Lazarus pit and Jason

Jason's original Warframe that Bruce gifted him was Ash. It was destroyed in the explosion that killed him. He can't get himself to rebuild an Ash. Also, yes...I know Jason's have deep meanings, but....eeuugghhhhh he's my FAVORITE DON'T JUDGE MEEEE

Tim Drake/Red Robin/Robin:

 Loki Prime - Trickster, fast, stealthy, can create a hologram that can attack, it fits

Protea -utility wise, she is techy and an engineer, a lot like Tim, a protector

Gyre - mmm...idk, I know shocking people is Dick's thing but Gyre really has more Tim energy to her with the whole Tesla coil aesthetic

Mag - mmmagnet...can yank, pull, and crush, versatile

Lavos - elemental, mixes and experiments with the elements to make subcategories, incredibly smart, and runs on timers vs energy -felt fitting

Banshee - much like Jason's reason, cancels out noise and makes him far stealthier, probably not Tim's most used Warframe

Volt - I...I'm not sure why Tim is getting the electricity frames. - Shield, fast, shock shit, OG, really useful, and boosts teammate's speed.

Limbo - can leap into the void to avoid damage and can drag enemies in with him, only people in the void can attack and damage him and the same goes for the enemies. - Don't really know again, it felt like a Warframe Tim would experiment with to try and push its limits.

Wukong - my friend who played Warframe just a little bit requested I give Tim Wukong because he was the one Warframe they really enjoyed playing - oh and staff. They both have a bo staff

Damian Al-Ghul Wayne/Robin:

Ash Prime - just like his daddy, need I say more?

Inaros - old, mummy themes, makes me think of a Ra's hand-me-down, good at keeping you alive.

Valkyr - used to teach Damian control over his emotions, I HC that Valkyr's final ability hysteria is kinda intoxicating as it induces a blood-lust-like state.

Garuda - beauty in slaughter teaches grace in combat. She is brutal and effective, self-mutilates to refill her energy, then siphons blood from enemies to heal herself. - Probably teaches more about regulation vs grace...

Nekros - bringer of death, not too much of a damage dealer, but he's able to raise the dead with his 4th ability and that seems like something Damian would like - mini army for him to rule

Now...everyone further down on this list I am way less familiar with and have fewer Warframes because of that. They will also have less meaningful reasons behind why and for that I'm kinda half sorry.

Duke Thomas/Signal:

Equinox Prime - Equinox splits into Day and Night form - I think you see where I'm going with this. - Equinox's abilities complement each other, one supports the other harms and debuffs. - it's the nearest I could get to controlling light and shadow okay

Nova - portals, gravity, idk tbh, she just felt like a frame he would enjoy with the massive amounts of damage and crowd control

Chroma - elemental breath, again, the closest I could get to shadow and light - Chroma is a tankier Warframe, probably one of the few Duke uses when he's running without his family and clan.

Stephenie Brown/Spoiler:

Mirage Prime - Playful, fun, dangerous, a trickster, feels like a good Prime for Steph

Octavia - Steph seems like someone who likes to dance, and who doesn't love blasting music while you mow down hordes of infested or battalions of Grineer :D?

Yareli - I don't...really know how to explain this one for it to not sound derogatory? Yareli's design is super...cute and e-girl-ish? - She's not particularly powerful but she has some mean CC and looks good while drowning you so-

Titania - all of Steph's seem to be tricksters omg - yeah Titania is good for buffing and rebuffing, her 4 shrinks her and gives her massive boosts in speed as she flies around and tears people apart with razor blade butterflies

Cassandra Cain/Black Bat/Orphan:

Banshee Prime - as said before...Banshee is a frame who silences everything around her, stealthy and deadly

Ivara - the hunter warframe, can become invisible and create lines to run around on, seems like something Cass would definitely enjoy and use to destroy everyone in her way

Wisp - not...really sure why I picked Cass to have a Wisp, but she floats instead of walking and opens a portal to channel a literal laser beam of the sun at her enemies. This is not a joke.

Nekros - reaper of the dead, deadly, terrifying, C A S S

Kate Kane/Batwoman:

Sayrn Prime - deadly, powerful, stupid strong, litter the ground with bodies with her kit. Something I think Kate would appreciate

Mesa - G U N. Thats it. I don't really have a better reason or explanation, sorry

Gara - defensive, powerful, sacrificed herself to save the Ostrons from the Eidolon, a hero - I can see Kate in that kinda

Ember - I was gonna make a red-head joke because fire and..and its not that funny. Honestly, no real good reason for Ember either

Vauban - strong, tanky, defensive tech-based kit, no deeper reasons

Barbara Gordon/Oracle/Batgirl:

Nyx Prime - focus on the power of the mind, manipulates and confuses enemies before exploding a mass of psychic energy. Fits with Babs big brain

Lavos - sc ience, that's it.

Protea - defensive support, is powerful, can reverse time, something I think Babs would over-utilize which makes what happens to her...ironic and interesting

Limbo - a lot like Tim's reason, intrigue in pushing Limbo's limit and seeing what she could accomplish with his powers

After she is paralyzed she becomes “Oracle”, replacing The Lotus for the family. She guides the family through missions and helps them work on their gear.

Selina Kyle/Catwoman:

Khora Prime - dommy mommy with a cat. Has a chain whip and yeah I...yeah... - the cat is super cute tho too btw

Garuda - claws, grace in bloodshed, calculated slaughter

Valkyr - uhm....angry kitty. Yeah...I...yeah the last two were literally because of the fact that she's Catwoman.

Mirage - playful, teasing, deadly, like I said with Cass. It fits.

Ivara - fantastic potential to be used to steal shit with her wires, stealth, and pick-pocketing ability

Out of curiosity, what is Hildryn’s approach to sex? Does she have an entourage of friends she just happens to also have casual sex with? Does she like to know a person first? Inquiring minds want to know (assuming this isn’t too forward or already been answered)!

Hildryn’s alot like Yang in that approach. She’ll flirt like a bad joke making dork and only be half serious, but when they retort back with their own flirt, she’ll get flustered and probably not have a comeback for a comeback. But hey, you engage her with it, if she likes you enough, she’ll probably mating press you, yeah.

Between friends though, with L’illie, she’d kinda cling and be like a puppy that wants attention until L’illie caves and “invites” her. With Mitsuki, it’s the same, but Mitsuki needs no caving, as she’s a maid doll and will happily take care of her dearest friends “urges”.

Hope this answers!

seas who could sing so deep and strong [151]

Judge watches, mortified, as Judge the MOA tilts its head, flexes its metal toes, and then starts walking into toxic waste, chirping to itself the entire time.

He can feel Kore grinding her teeth. But she doesn’t turn around, even as the MOA’s alarms start going off.

Well. Its system alarms are going off but the MOA sits down in the acid.

“What is it doing?” Judge asks.

“It’s being you,” Kore replies, tersely.

Judge thinks that’s a little unfair. It’s being more Punk than Hades right now. Judge has never purposefully walked into toxic waste and sat in it while he could visible and audibly hear his own shield and damage bar ticking down.

“I have watched you dive head first into coolant and radiated water more times than I care to recount,” Kore says. “I have seen you go headlong into crowds of Eximus Bombards. I’ve had to look you in the face as you walk through Corpus lasers and Orokin traps. And thus the power of names is proven. I thought it looked like you so I said it reminded me of you, and somehow it took that to heart and now it wanders off to kill itself and see if I will help it.”

Judge isn’t sure where Kore is right now, exactly, but he can hear the screams of Grineer and the horrified begging of their capture target through her audio feed.

Judge just watches her MOA as it lets out a surprised — surprised! — screech as its systems begin to shut down and it tips over, legs flailing as the damage from the toxic waste finally brings its shields and damage bar to nothing. Judge sighs and goes over, standing on the perfectly decent platform of scrap metal next to it — why didn’t it just move? — and starts to assist it.

The MOA springs back onto its feet seconds later, looking around, gyro twitching before looking at the green waste and poking the liquid with its toe.

“Don’t,” Judge says. It’s futile, he knows. But he attempted it.

The MOA walks right back into the waste and sits down again.

Judge leans down and picks the MOA up, holding it high above his head as its legs paddle in the air, head rotating around and chirping confusedly at its new height.

He starts to make his way, hopping from one garbage pile to another, until he’s safely across.

“I saved him,” Judge says.

“How is he going to learn if you save him?” Kore asks.

“Well, I learned somehow, didn’t I?” Judge points out. “And you always saved me.”

“At least you understood you were in trouble,” Kore mutters, darkly. “Just leave him.”

“Persephone, he’s a baby.”

“He got shut down on Earth, Hades.” There’s a sound of vicious ripping, as if someone was being torn apart. Someone might be. Kore’s currently testing out a new build of her Ankyros. "Do you know who gets fucked up on Earth Hades? Baby Tenno with muscular dystrophy, extreme dysphoria, and the most basic of gear when they have amnesia. That’s who. And I bet you they don’t fuck up on E-Prime.”

“Well.” Judge can’t really find an argument around that one.

Kore clicks her tongue. “I can’t wait for the other one to finish building.”

“You’ve already built another one?” Judge asks, a little hurt.

“Judge, this one can’t handle Earth,” Kore replies. “At this point it’s an aesthetic decoration that sometimes pecks at computer screens and somehow manages to turn alarms off. I appreciate that. I really do. And sometimes I think it’s cute. But I don’t run my ship for cute.”

Which is very true.

“What if the other one is just as…curious as this one is?” Judge asks, tucking the MOA underneath his arm as he follows the trail of dead bodies to wherever Kore is.

“Then this one will be curious with grenades.”

-

“Did anyone notice that we’ve gone from an all male frame squad to an all female frame squad?” Punk asks.

“Equinox has no gender,” Chic says, hefting her new gun over Hildryn’s massive shoulder.

“We’ve gone from a three quarters male frame squad to a four out of four female frame squad?” Punk amends, Garuda’s spines flattening against her forearm as Punk walks over to go through a Grineer locker. “Nice Ember, Percy.”

“Thanks,” Kore says, the pale flames of her new Ember Prime’s crest flickering in the afternoon light as she pries open a Grineer storage container, taking some pistol ammo and reloading her Vipers. “I bought Hades a matching one but he’s busy. I would have used her sooner but my Cephalon wouldn’t let me get her out of the Foundry until Hades finished his, also.”

“You bought your boy matching frames?” Punk coos, “That’s so cute.”

Kore doesn’t respond, she just shoots the Grineer behind him in the head.

“Nice shot,” Judge says.

“I think it’s cute that Hades is trying to hard not to look dumb as a Saryn,” Chic remarks. “It’s a new frame, Hades, we all look dumb in new frames.”

“Has anyone told that to Empress?” Judge asks, feeling his face burn with embarassment. “I don’t think she’s ever looked dumb. Ever. Beside, wouldn’t you be self conscious running a Saryn with…”

Judge gestures to Kore.

“An original Saryn on the squad?” Chic replies. “Probably. But that’s not something I’ll ever have to deal with because I already finished up with Saryn and have her in storage. She is a powerful frame but not one for me.”

“Guys, I found an Ayatan star. Blue,” Punk says from farther down.

“Pass,” Judge says, grimacing. He’s gotten too many stars again. Maroo is going to laugh when he shows up and has to carry them by the crate off of his ship for her. He honestly doesn’t mean to collect them like that. There’s just…he loses track of them is all.

“I’ll be there,” Chic says, clapping Judge on the shoulder as she passes. “Persephone?”

“I’m good,” Kore says, holstering her Vipers as she goes to loot the Grineer’s body. “I’ll just steal some of Hades’.”

“You’ve been taking my stars?”

“There are so many Ayatan stars on your ship that I could be taking them by the dozen and you wouldn’t notice a difference,” Kore remarks. “I’m surprised Ugly hasn’t choked to death one one yet.”

Judge does not correct her, because Kore doesn’t need to know that Ugly regularly attempts to eat Ayatan stars and then hacks them up while screaming at Judge the entire time. It would only make her feel vindicated.

@Missy and friends: "We're currently back at work, President Missy, the X-Games, were fun, we'll send you a video of it once the highlight reels are done being developed. Also, we have the complete information you need about it with the video, so no worries about lacking the info. Happy Human New Years." - Semi-Organic Droid, unit R-47-- for deities' sake, stop eating my lunch, Hildryn.

Missy: ooo neat! my civilization is coming along so well. I can’t wait for the X-games. 

Jack: Your civilization? They were mine first.

Connor; You illegally took my identity and pretended to care about them.

Jack: Hey! if I didn’t pretend to care about their society, they wouldn’t have developed the moral compass needed to root my corruption and kick me out of office while putting a responsible person in charge.

Missy: Aww thanks....i think.

Connor: *opens then closes his mouth*

Jack: You know I’m right. That’s what makes this victory sweetest of all.
