#paladins is fun

[anthr-obi]

I did this about 5 years ago when I was playing a lot of Paladins. Lately, I remembered I had this Merrymaker Evie sketch somewhere in my files and decided it’s worth redoing. Fits with the holiday mood. Maybe I’ll show you the old version but it’s embarrassingly bad lmao

This is where I leave you. I wish you every success on your journey.

the party has just been (very poorly) conned into partitipating in an mlm

Goblin Rogue (speaks in 3rd person): "[rogue] did not sign up for this! [rogue] better get paid handsomly for this or he's going to find a way to get the payment himself!"

Warforge Paladan: "why do you need payment? is the good we will do not enough?"

Goblin Rogue: "[rogue] does not care about doing good, he is not a good person! [rogue] wants coin for his troubles!"

Warforge Paladan: "im sure you won't actually steal anything :)"

Goblin Rogue: "[paladan], look at [rogue], look at him- [ROGUE] IS A PIRATE!"

Warforge Paladan leans way down to be eye to eye with rogue, who is standing aggitated infront of them

Warforge Paladan, full confedence: "i don't know what a pirate is :)"

“We’re not just friends, we’re partners in crime when it comes to mischievous thoughts.”

As the year comes to an end, I find so much comfort looking back at all the good times we've had.

This moment comes from the first weekend of Midsummer with some of the crew.

Here's to many more shenanigans and adventures to come in the New Year. :)

Knights: Emma R, and Rae.

Red Paladin Lance!

It always kinda bothered me that they never switched armor colours. I understand why not in season 3-4 because switching the armor then would feel like accepting that Shiro is gone. They were convinced that the 'Changing of the Guard' was a temporary solution. But why didn't Lance and Allura swap when Shiro was back and Keith left?

Keith leaving was a conscious choice. They had one paladin too many, as Lance stated, and Keith felt he was the one who could, and should, leave. He had the Blade of Marmora to go to, whereas the other paladins would have nowhere to go.

The paladins knew generally where he was, and that he wasn't dead. So why not change armor?

Allura wore the pink as a symbol of mourning. But Shiro's back, so unless she really likes pink like her mother, she has no reason to continue wearing it. Lance has not flown, or talked to, Blue in a long while, and never does again until the season 8 conclusion. He's Red's paladin now.

It makes all the sense in the world for them to switch armor in the seasons after Keith's departure. So why didn't they? I think it's because of which paladin they are. Let me explain:

Keith is the red paladin. The Red Lion looks for someone 'hot-headed and stubborn', someone who relies more on instinct than skill. The traits of a red paladin are fiery, straightforwardness, impulsive, passionate, and self-certain. Keith tones it down a bit when leading the team in black and once he returns from the BoM, but he still has these characteristics.

Lance is the blue paladin. The Blue Lion looks for someone flexible, supportive, and creative. While we don't get to hear Allura's explanation of the Blue Lion, we can see why Blue picked Lance. He's a quick thinker, goes with the flow, and most of all, flexible. He makes what's given work, especially when it came to needing a red paladin. Not, by choice, necessarily, but he rolls with it.

Allura is not a chosen paladin. She does not have qualities that fit a specific lion quite as well as the rest do, but rather a mix. This is why she works as Blue's pilot. She has the flexibility required by Blue. So while she works as a blue paladin, she is technically not a better fit than Lance for Blue, but Lance is a much better fit in Red than Allura due to Keith in Black.

All this to say, it still annoys me they didn't change colours, but oh well.

It’s like having two dogs

Neuvillette smells Foul legacy

Foul legacy smells Neuvillette

Imagine if Neuvillette goes to visit and it’s on one of those days that Foul legacy is tending to melusine y/n

little Melusine with their Abyssal monster and Hydro Sovereign protectors hehehehehee

almost IMMEDIATELY Foul Legacy's mane of ginger hair ruffles and puffs up, crystalline eye locking with Neuvillette's. the Iudex stops in his tracks, the slim azure antennae hidden amongst his hair shivering as a low, almost inaudible growl rises from his throat. Legacy matches it, and for a moment they just glare at each other while you look back and forth between them, shaking your head in exasperation. you slip off of Legacy's lap and skip cheerfully over to Neuvillette, taking his hand in your mitten and gently tugging, tugging until he stands before Foul Legacy and stares down at him with suspicion and wariness. instinctively he attempts to push you behind him, but you evade his arm and happily curl up in Legacy's lap again, and Neuvillette can only blink before slowly sitting down in front of you

the dragon and the monster regard each other silently- they're supposed to be mortal enemies, after all. eventually Foul Legacy's wings lower, slowly, neatly folding against his back. he gives Neuvillette a tentative chirp, and you smile up at him, colorful little tail waving in the air. the Iudex sighs, giving you a small smile in return and leaning in, quietly asking you to tell the story of how you met this... armored, glittering beast. your bloopy antennae twitch in delight as you sit up, leaning back against Legacy's chest with his arm around you, and both of them listen to you regale them with a long, thrilling tale- minus the parts where you got stabbed, of course

The legendary Alicorn only appears during times to strife, and now is her time to shine.

I know realistically fallout 4’s cast of companions would destroy a settlement if they were left alone there for too long together but I think it’s even funnier if they are aggressively playing nice because they are all connected 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon style through the Sole Survivor.

It’s like they are all collectively dating this one person who happened to just bag people from like every possible political opposite but ig they won’t try and shoot each other for the day cause it makes SS smile when they see them getting along or whatever.

I've never actually gotten to use it in-game but the best d&d ritual spell is still Ceremony

[sashthesloth]

Temerity the Cleric of Ilmater from my multiplayer campaign absolutely was smitten from her first conversation with the druid Halsin because he tried to heal her no questions asked

[vaard]

I recolored the Lightforged Vaard piece from the ask to a classic Vaard for the fun of it, also the fact that it's one of the better front view faces I've done. I struggle a lot with this angle so it's great practice, and I get to see both versions.

"Bahamut failed me; Tiamat empowered me. Nothing shall stand in my way now."

Comm off of discord from a new bud o mine who wanted a dark alternate version of his Bahamut worshipping paladin Nadaar. Suffice to say, the entire server is now horny on main for this design and I did the entire thing in a stream xD And recorded it too~
