you guys are never going to believe this but i became obsessed with another game i spent months playing nonstop

[rapidmorph3]

Finally finished stories 2 after literally, three years (I left off at kuan village ages ago and just finished the rest of the game in like the last two and a half days Cry emoji) I really really enjoyed it, here some small doodles from right after finishing main story.

Really want to make a proper stories 2 piece one day once I'm a little less busy with owed art ^_^)

🍌 New Monkey Monster is too precious! 🦍

(Monster Hunter Rise:Sunbreak)

It makes sense why Ena would be mesmerized by the new monster’s appearance she has always found joy in the monsties you bring back especially ones not from around the area of Rutoh Village.

Happy First Anniversary Monster Hunter Stories 2 !

OMG I can’t believe that it has already been a year since Monster Hunter Stories 2 came out ...

I still can’t get over how great this game is and honestly, it was my favorite game of 2021 !

Hope the fandom will still live on, maybe have some DLC’s, and more importantly a third game !

i finally got a week of vacation, not that I will have that much off time tho. But! I finally made time to have a doodle day, just doodling nonesense the whole day and enjoying it. There's one more bigger sketch, but that one I wanna actually do properly, then it's back to coms! Anyways, some more MH stories, mostly bullying bratty boy Kyle with love and adoration XD And some draw the squads too, cos I desperately wanted to add Ena. She's so adorable and so much fun to draw QvQ Once again featuring my and @kathuman's kid's, and ourselves this time too! We definitely adopted that rowdy blonde haired twig boy XD I'm still kinda disappointed the hunters can't ride with us, but putting Reverto on a Palamute or sth would probably have crushed it, hahaha.

And a little context for the Astalos one (slight story spoiler): After Kyle joined in Nua Tae, the first thing I did was hunt down Astalos and try to get an egg. I called him Asparagus and I keep joking he imprinted on Kyle just as much as on my rider, so boy be a papa now XD

MY ART (Digital)

I think Astalos suit’s design and Hel’s are very close( especially this alter color)So I make my summoner try it on!

and Lif is similar to Nargauga when their eyes turning red light...!

Rant

[obvious spoilers for the story and personal dislike of Ena- I recommend not reading this if Ena is your Ride-Or-Die Waifu]

tbh, I really don’t like Ena as a character. She’s pretty to look at, but that’s about it. As I’m replaying the story now and paying more attention to the Character’s actions and not just staring at the pretty visuals... yeah. Her role in the story feels.... kinda useless?

Just. Who exactly is Ena for the Main Character, aka the actual person the story narrative should focus on? ....some random chick that threw them to the ground in a forceful hug, calling them by their dead grandpa’s name and giving them a cursed Rathalos-Egg, and then.... just kinda tags along. There’s just no real reason for her to not just stay in Rutoh after bringing the MC there- her role is done? She told them about Razewing Ratha, delivered  the egg, brought them somewhere where they’ll be safe from the Hunters, and that it?

It’s not like she already knows whats going on and has a clear idea how to safe the day and how to prevent Ratha from fucking shit up- just tags along because... the mute MC needs a mouth? Eh, Navirou is already there tho, and having two cute mascots traveling around with you and talking over you all the time is just grating my nerves after a while.

Tbh, I personally prefer Navirou over Ena by FAR. He’s pretty funny imo and brings more to the table than Ena, be it with his powers, with his ability to smell out good eggs (and he’s essentially our Palico, and no matter how dorky he is, I love all of my Palicoes).

I rewatched all of the cutscenes tryina figure out what exactly Ena’s role in the story is, and. All she seems to do is cry, act like Ratha is her monstie (after Ratha destroys the WIndmills for example- she’s talking like she wants to take him away right there and then?) and be given the plot-device to defeat the final boss, for.... what reason again?

She doesn’t even know what the thing is there for- Kyle does. And he ends up figuring out how to create an opening for Ratha to defeat Oltura. I’m not saying that Kyle would’ve defeated Oltura alone, nope- that defeats the whole purpose of the Stories-thing. Friendship and Kinship is the key to victory. But... how does Ena exactly tie into the whole Friendship-dynamic?

She and Kyle didn’t have any real friendly interactions to justify her “My friends here taught me that Kinship is strong!”-speech at the end. And the MC... they didn’t have any scenes either? Unless I’m forgetting some major plot-point where she and the MC shared a heartfelt moment where they deepen their own friendship.

I mean... all I really remember from the MC’s and Ena’s interactions was her talking about how great of a friend Red was and how much the MC is like Red. That’s kinda just... (god I hate this word)... trauma-dumping? I mean she found this random island child that looks like Red and proceeded to talk about her traumatic experience with them and all the other characters in the cast also just continue to talk about how great Red was and how the MC is like Red?

It’s just. Rewatching all of their scenes, Reverto and Kyle seem to be the only ones that don’t constantly rub into MC’s face how they’re basically in Red’s shadow and how big of a legacy they have to live up to? Reverto makes one joke about how the MC got their gramps’ smarts and thats about it, unless I’m forgetting something.

And.... Cheval, especially. When he scolds the MC, I just sat there and thought “You should scold Ena???? She’s the grown up here that leaves this kid that’s been a rider for like a week with this funky Rathalos and expects them to bond with it and contain its power????”

Really, Ena’s role could’ve been taken over by Alwin. He had actual scenes WITH  Red to show their bond, but Ena? She just talks about how great of a friend he was to her. I don’t know, it just irks me that she fits the trope of “Shy, caring waifu wearing a skirt” and that seems to be her only real trait- be eye-candy.

SHE feels more like the main character than the character you’re playing- which would’ve been fine if the story would’ve actually revolved around her as the main character, and not just shoved the Player off to the side. I really think that the story would have been better with Ena just being a Side-Character being far FAR off to the side and chilling in Rutoh and not the Main Character being pushed aside. Instead of investing in Ena’s voice-lines, give the MC actual voiced cutscenes- would take away from the blank slate anyone can project themselves onto, but also... better than the MC just staring emotionless while everyone else talks, and then having a weird scene where they’re literally too afraid to touch Ratha cause Ena “scolds” them for having a weak bond with him...? It’s just... weird. The story itself is just weak and Ena having the spotlight in cutscenes instead of the character you’re playing doesn’t do it any good.

One might say now “ofc shed have the focus!! MC doesn’t talk!!” but... the MC also doesn’t talk with actions. Or face expressions. Or anything, really. It’s really just a gimmick at the start of the game, making a custom character to appear next to Ena in the cutscenes.

I don’t dislike Ena.... I just dislike how the story focuses on her. She’s not even very interesting....? There’s nothing we know about her, aside from her traumatic experience with Red. Take Alwin and give us more focus on his and Red’s friendship. Take Kyle and his inner struggle with accepting the whole concept of Riders- he says himself he only knows being a Hunter. There! A plot-line! How the Hunter views Riders and how he changes his view point!

TL;DR, Kyle should’ve had the magic plot device and Alwin should’ve had Ena’s role, Ena could’ve stayed in Rutoh and the story wouldn’t have suffered. Thanks for coming to my ted-talk-

"For you!"

[ghirahims-trophyhusband]

Now that I’ve been left alone for 5 minutes with my thoughts, I’ve started thinking up names for my monsties as a s/I into the WoF universe, and I start off with a Nergigante (gonna call him Dirt as a joke on Grima/grime :>) which takes some time for Alwin and especially Ena to get used to.

Then once they’ve just gotten used to Dirt I show up again and Alwin is like ‘oh god what now?’ And I’m like

Me: got a new Monstie! They’re called Ultra or Vio!

Ena: Oh, like Violet?

Me: Nope! Like Ultra Violence!

And then I get kicked out the village bc it turns out Violence is a White Fatalis

I really like Barchydios armor's chest piece since I generally love dress like armor/clothing, and the shoulder pauldrons match it really well, but you could impale a poor wyverian girl's stomach with the waist armor

“MH Stories 2”

[yutopia-eleftheria]

MHStories Ships : Broken Up Couples

Cheval X Lilia

Ever since they knew Cheval, both Lute and Lilia had a crush on their red-haired friend. However, Cheval considered Lute more as a friend by that time, and he will start to have a crush on Lilia, becoming overprotective towards her : The reason is that he didn’t want to lose her. Cheval already lost his mother, he didn’t wanted to lose another person he deeply cares for. But despite being with him and loving the Riders’ cause, Lilia decided to join the Scriveners after she meet Reverto and mostly Simone. Despite the distance, they kept contact as Cheval often come to visit her thanks to Rathi. But a few years have passed (the years between Stories 1 & 2), and they became the polar opposite to one another, and eventually break up. Despite all of that, they are still good friends and are not upset at each other as they both found someone to share their lives with.

Alwin X Ena

Just like Lute, Lilia and Cheval, Alwin and Ena grew up together, they literally looked like siblings when they were younger. They were always hanging out together ; the two were inseparable. By the time the Rider met them in Alcala, they were already dating. Alwin was always highly protective towards the female Wyverian, he always wanted to be near her, to be sure she was fine. Despite all of this, this will not work well in the end... The events that happened with the birth of Razewing Ratha and Oltura’s arrival into the World put them apart, but way more than they could ever imagine. Ena will slowly have a crush on the human tsundere that is Kyle, and Alwin will immediately fall in love at the sight of Zellard’s long lost daughter, Lindorië.

Red X Zellard

If there was one thing that Zellard never thought could happen in his long life, was falling in love with a human he knew ever since he was a young Rider. Red was a teenager when he met the Wyverians that lived in Rutoh, and during his youth, Red was always following Alwin everywhere he go (perhaps he had a crush on him but he never knew ?...) As Red grew older (in his late 20′s or early 30′s), he will start to have feelings for Zellard. Even if he was stern, Zellard’s shell broke to the young man’s kindness and charismatic aura, and he will soon understand that his heart has fell for the human he was most close with. Years have passed, they were secretly together for a while, they were glad that they managed to keep it a secret since they didn’t know how the villagers would react. But one day, Zellard had fallen ill, but it worsened drastically to a point where he almost died, going from a fever to cramps, caughing blood and low oxygen. It was said to be a tumor, but little did they know it was something else, something that if Zellard knew about, he would have immediately lost it...

(Try to guess what happened to Zellard, and you can find the answer on the Wyverian Headcanons + Answer will also be in the comments for those who don’t want to go back on the previous posts ;)
