#not easy for an assassin

Ok, I am super proud of how my crow Rook turned out so I wanted to share:
Isehari De Riva. still deciding on how I want to proceed during this playthrough, but I think her bottom principle will be "Do you want me to stab them for you?"
Development: Cares deeply about everyone, deflects with humor, but will leave you flowers and your favorite snack if she notices you look a tad blue.
#dragon age#datv#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age veilguard#dragonage the veilguard#dragon age rook#i'm going to cause chaos#will probably resort to violence most the time?#but Rook is young#and i think the whole 'ruining the operation with the Antaam' is a learning lesson for her#ah yes#just a psycho trying to refrain from going straight to stabbing#not easy for an assassin#especially this idiot#she's a work in progress

POV: Evil murder kitten tries to evil murder you in your sleep. She's desperate for a reason not to evil murder you because she does not want to.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#i know i've posted this one before#but i just can't get over how cute and adorable she is right here - she really looks like a startled cat#regardless of whether you sleep with her or not#the prism still temporarily broke her connection to the absolute and then returned it to her right when she was about to kill you#and it sparked an immediate crisis of faith because everything about that night is all wrong - except for you#you having no connection to the absolute causes her to doubt the extent of the absolute's control#but she also begins to question the absolute as she found peace in the silence - peace in the absolute *not* controlling her for once#even with the absolute having returned to her - she still wants a reason *not* to kill you#in that moment she clocked you as a potential enemy of the absolute and by her oath - she would be obligated to kill you#which is why the only reason you can get her to stand down is by proving to her that you are not an enemy#and it is pretty easy to convince her that you're not an enemy because she is that desperate for any excuse from you#minthara is not the kind of person who would back off and run from a fight - and is definitely not spooked about assassinations#and she most certainly has stabbed someone in their sleep before and has killed a lover#but she does not like to engage in fights that she does not think are necessary nor to kill those she does not have a reason to kill#the fact that she pulled away when you caught her and she didn't immediately escalate the conflict into a full fight#is a pretty big indication that she has some pretty extreme doubts about the absolute - and *she* does not see you as an enemy

she's the top sniper in the entire DCB, you are nothing to her but just another target 🌃 she will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this earth, mark my fucking worms
#doodles#character reference#art#artists on tumblr#character design#cyberpunk#assassin#mercenary#omisa patel#static sky#originally i liked the contrast of the legs being white but thinking about it it clashes with her stealthy and darker palette#it also draws too much attention to her legs from a value standpoint and thats something i try to avoid#i also got rid of the weird capelet + coat combo so now its just one big coat and a small scarf which i like so much better#and yes this is the funny zip up coat i drew her in before wbhjdfhbjg thats just. part of her character design now#its comfy ok? its comfy and easy to hide in. and i bet it's thick so it has a lot of pockets

To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?
Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.
#in the 16th century canon he starts out as an introverted but sincerely well meaning guy that never quite manages to find his social niche#he was a sensitive kid and when subjected to enough pressure#his insecurity fearfulness and powerlessness mutate into distrust resentment aggression suffocating repression and self-restraint#I don't think he's a bad person in fact he consistently tries very hard to do the right thing#do his job properly avoid letting people down and get through life with a sense of dignity#but he is supposed to come across kind of cold impersonable and difficult to be around if you don't know him personally (and very few do)#people can sense there's something wrong with him and are put off by it#Vatican is a nest of vipers and as the stakes rise he retreats deeper into his coldblooded untouchable work persona#he has no choice but to start lying scheming blackmailing and eliminating his enemies#in order to maintain his position keep Vasco safe their relationship under wraps and his own head above water#essentially playing by the same rules everyone else in the holy see has been playing with for centuries#eventually he loses his spot as the secretary of state and is manipulated/forced to take on a role in the roman inquisition#and if people were sort of iffy about him before being the authority overseeing trials torture excommunications and executions doesn't help#and since he has so few allies and such an infamous reputation he's an easy target for scapegoating whenever necessary#towards the end it dawns on him that he's become the kind of twisted cruel corrupt person he used to fear and despise#and the guilt moral injury and abject self-loathing had largely sapped him of his will to live by the time the final assassin gets him#answered#anonymous#Machete#Vaschete lore#he thought his dream of priesthood would make him a better person more worthy of admiration safety and love but he climbed too high#and got roped up in the dangerous games that take place under god's nose and slowly got strangled to death

Ain’t That A Kick In The Head
The funny part about it is that this Courier Six doesn’t even kill him he just threatens the fuck outta him
Bloodless alt:
Some Benny doodles too but these are a bit more old so they’re also a bit more shit
#I went from ‘why does everyone call him Benny Gecko that’s not canonically his last name’ to understanding the whimsy of it#I get Benny Gecko now#my art#fallout new vegas#fallout#new vegas#fallout nv#fallout new vegas art#fallout new vegas fanart#courier six#fnv courier#courier oc#courier 6#fallout oc#fallout original character#fnv oc#Gazer Valmorida#benny gecko#fallout benny#fnv benny#fnv swank#minor blood warning#I need to mess around with how I draw Benny more#I like him in the main rendered piece but that’s a side profile#the doodles are from when I was figuring out how to draw him lol#the story for Gazer and his decision with Benny is basically he had ended up assassinating Casear the first time he was at the fort#and killing Benny point blank there seemed like kind of the easy way out for him to Gazer#Benny kind of gets the ol sentence of suffering in the wasteland with only the clothes on his back

That Bunny!Desmond art is causing me to have very... Impure... thoughts... Especially involving his ancestors
They just want the chance to love their bunny
But Desmond knows they’re just trying to fatten him up.

"don't waste my time, darling. you'd better make for a good fight."
lunette strikewhite, better known as just lunette, is a key character in reassassination. prideful and smug, she fights without gloves, leaving her life and career on the line just for the excitement of it all.
#zeno's art#ocs#reassassination#lunette#a single mom who works two jobs and loves her kids and never stops#shes very fun and easy to draw thanks to her simple design#literally chill as hell#ok i dont have much to say about her but some crazy shit is gonna happen involving her in the comic.... heh heh....#oh yea also she was the very first assassin i designed#originally she was around 25 and was an assassin with her brother who was scrapped#but his design was a little like venom (i think thats his name) from guilty gear but with locs#he dont matter now hes gone! sorry#anyway these arent gonna be daily anymore but needles should be next

Vimes took a deep breath. "You see, Miss Wiggs, quite a few of your chums have tried to kill me at home in recent years. As you might expect, I take a dim view of this."
"Easy to see why, sir," said Jocasta, in the voice of one who knows that their only hope of escaping from their present predicament is reliant on the goodwill of another person, who has no pressing reason to have any.
Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

Been listening to the bkdk playlist I made when I first started shipping them and it is astonishing how every song that was meant to be from Izuku’s perspective is now from Katsuki’s like the 180 is real
Katsuki Bakugou became CEO of yearning before the manga ended, like the boy is never beating the allegations ever, but Izuku?
Before 431 there wasn’t a shred of evidence he’d ever even want to move on from Katsuki. He was obsessed, enraptured, his feelings were so big he regularly went feral for Katsuki, and yet post-431 we suddenly have indifferent Izuku somehow???
#idk man 431 literally out here commuting character assassination#bkdk#bakudeku#but the opportunity for hurt/comfort is peak#but yeah it used to be Izuku was pining and Katsuki was this big old question mark with a few shining moments of clarity#so it was easy to imagine a future where Izuku was hung up on Katsuki and Kats was just oblivious to it or trying not to care#but now? yeah Kats is so down bad and Izuku’s running off to his platonic girlfriend

I know its an old meme but…
#tdp#tdp callum#tdp ezran#tdp runaan#good god please don’t sweep this under the rug#let them be pissed!!#let them be pissed at each other!#let them fight and argue about it#let Callum mention Ezran defending Avizandum (of all fucking people/dragons)#he killed Ezran’s mother#why was Ezran defending him to Rex Igneous???!!#that should’ve pissed Callum off immediately#or at least deserved a reaction#also let Callum be annoyed with Ezran’s hypocrisy#how can he be okay with Zubeia#when she ordered the assassination#how can he be mad at Runaan when he invited the Dragon Queen herself to the Valley of Graves#when multiple people told him how insensitive it was#I want so badly for Callum to be butter about his mother’s death#a person who Ezran never even knew#of course for Ezran its easy to sweep it under the rug#he doesn’t even remember her#okay I’m done losing my mind#mostly…….

I know that I’m brick-carrying leftist, and I’ll admit that I learned it at my former-shirtwaist-union president Emma Grandma’s knee (whose uncle back in the old country was enough a part of the Resistance that he got thrown into Dachau) …but the rest of my family are Very Normal.
AND YET.
During the family Christmas party, it came up that one of my grandpa’s wife’s family members has cancer, but the insurance company denied the targeted type of chemo. Instead, they’re making this incredibly sick man go through the kind that’s less likely to work bc it’s cheaper. And this caused the most mild-mannered Minnesotan Catholic church lady I know to scoff “And they wonder why a CEO was killed.”
… the needle is finally starting to move, y’all.
#free Luigi#the claims adjuster#it’s incredibly fucking frustrating to have spent MORE THAN A DECADE yelling about state violence and the 1% and acab and the US history of#targeted assassinations in defense of capitalism and getting N O W H E R E with the comfortable people#it’d be so easy to fall to dispair and drown#I’m choosing to see this as a glimmer of hope. finally#(but seriously. Luigi is getting framed)

Saw this circulating around so had to do it. I've had this grumpy gal in my brain for months now. She's still very much a work in progress.
Very condensed WIP background: Basically, Lisetta was born into a dalish clan on the outskirts of Antiva. As a child, her clan was killed by bandits. Realizing she had magic, the bandits kept her alive and sold her off to crows for a quick buck.
My goal with her character is to make her be a complete 180 from my canon inquistor, Vinara Lavellan. Vinara was extremely kind/diplomatic, sometimes to the point of naivety. She believed deeply in the dalish and trying to reclaim lost elven history.
Lisetta is going to be incredibly distrustful of elven culture and the dalish at large. The dalish, their traditions, and their gods couldn't keep her safe, so to her its all a load of horse shit. Her personality is going to be direct/aggressive: 1. cause I've never played a character like that in a Bioware game before (just want the challenge tbh), 2. growing up in the crows forced her to be incredibly distrustful/independent because at the end of the day the only person she could ever truly trust was herself.
#i really have no idea who to romance her with#if varric is an option then that's an easy choice#but if not#here's where I'm stuck#lucanis: two emotionally constipated assassins falling in love despite everything sounds fun#davrin: falling for a dalish elf despite all the baggage that comes from her past - the angst could be so good#harding: she's just a ray of sunshine and I'm a bitch for happy/grumpy pairings#lisetta#rook#da4#dragon age the veilguard#datv
