Hyrule Warriors - 10th Anniversay!

Here is my wallpaper piece for @hyrulewarriorszine

This is by far, my largest and most ambitious illustration that I was able to fully rendered and completed. And super happy with how it turned!

Please go check out the Hyrule Warriors 10th Anniversary zine: Denouement of War. It's a free digital zine filled with incredible fanworks by super awesome group of artists and writers.

i think a lot about iwatex lore and story stuff outside its context of Video Game

like, it’s coded into the Video Game that kom always dies and there’s nothing you can do to save him. but in-universe? i don’t think fate or predestiny is a big thing here, bc it’s a time loop and sol’s whole life is different every time, so i often think about an In Universe fluke timeline, where something different happens and kom survives. anemone gets to grow up with her older brother and she doesn’t become a soldier and sol gets to see what it looks like for her to have a happy life.

and then it never happens again. sol can’t figure out what let kombucha survive in that loop, and they can’t ever recreate it, and he never survives again. that was the only loop where anemone was actually genuinely happy, and the guilt of its eats at sol in semi lucid moments of loop-awareness.

And here's the Karkat panel redraw.

laurent’s damianos vs damen dilemma is so fascinating… re his first pov in kings rising, he refers to damen as the akielon slave instead of damen or damianos. even internally, he refuses to say his name (damen or damianos) because to even name damen inside his head is to acknowledge him as his brother’s killer. he’s so deep in willful delusion that he tries his best to see damen as two separate people: one is the akielon slave he’s in love with, and the other is a coldblooded brother killer. the akielon slave is the honorable, hardworking and extraordinary man who was the only person who genuinely helped laurent after auguste’s death. the akielon prince is the barbarian who slayed auguste and caused the collapse of laurent’s entire world. the akielon slave is safe to love, the brother killer is not.

Sorry if I've missed this somewhere, but does Clanmew have words like mom, dad, or parent? If they do, are they different from the Tribemew and old Parkmew words for it?

Plugging my big beautiful family document again because 1. You sent this before I finished it and I intentionally compiled it so I could answer these questions. 2. I am proud of it and worked v hard

But to answer this about the Tribe; The Mi/Ba system is actually VERY unique to Clan Culture! I've decided that I'm going to show how Thunderstar's childhood actually lead TO its development, during BB!DOTC.

Shaded Flower may have been the first "Ba," in the way modern Clan cats use it. I think it's a good way to do the Pro-Adoption Theme I wanted to do with DOTC, while still killing Gray Wing. Of course, it also develops over time with the introduction of Kit Stealing a few generations later, but modern Clan cats honor Shade as a patron of parenthood.

So back at the Tribe, they use the words Mi and Ba, but they refer to biological parents. It isn't The Mi/Ba System.

I imagine they have a lot more words for various types of friends and platonic family, though. If Trout and I ever build out Tribemew, I'll get into their complex relationship to the Three Wards and such.

MTG Proxy art coms

Anybody open for commissions that'll be used as proxy art for MTG cards? Looking for stuff kind of characterized, fantasy spin, light epic etc. I want to get some characters I like from other fandoms turned into proxy cards for an MTG commander deck, but I dont want to use screenshots or steal art already out there. I'm also looking to get a chunk of proxy tokens to fix the themes DM me or something if you're open for it, or send/add links to your com sheets and i'll look through em.

not to be too achingly literal or to transpose rodya over bsd!fyodor's ivan, but i will bear kafka asagiri a child for him to strap explosives to as his heart demands if we learn that when fyodor looks at aya, he sees sonya.

Ana & Moira dialogue in OW2 is just bi / lesbian hostility.

Moira: Does it bother you that you've taken as many lives as you've saved? Ana: I don't mind killing monsters. But, go on. Keep pushing me.

neo fine's unit lore

+ neo alkaloid's unit lore

[pelleas-at-castle-nox]

Flashing red lights illuminate a corpse, dozens of warning signs blared fruitlessly in an attempt to preserve the pilot's life. It couldn't be ascertained what took the pilot's life, battle damage, starvation, neural pathways too burnt from going beyond the operating limits. All that could be said for certain was that the living being which had once served as the nerve center of the hulking death weapon, sat hunched over in a pool of blood, unresponsive to the sensory overload that likely sang them to the great beyond.

A similar scene played out across the trench, another titanic machine of war, its cockpit burst open at some point, the pilot within impaled by shrapnel that couldn't dent the exoskeleton, but destroyed the life within instantly. For a moment, the two machines, having been just moments ago caught in a deadly dance that ended with the loss of two lives, and countless many others beneath their feet and from every missed shot. The two machines sat in repose, as if they were two warriors resting after a duel.

Such peace was not built to last.

Unable to contact its pilot, the rudimentary AI that assisted with the functioning of the machine kicked into gear, attempting to fulfill its only remaining directive: return to the location designated as "home."

Both machines had their own homes to return to, places where their cockpits would be cleaned out, and fitted with new nervous systems to direct them in the only activity they ever knew. With slow, weighty movements, the mechanical beasts began to rise, debris cascading to demolish more homes beneath them as they climbed upright.

The two angels of death, their divine light severed, regarded each other for a moment, two humanoid figures with scanner eyes that took the measure of their peer. The internal FCS and threat detection systems flagged each other as hostiles, something to be avoided during their automated retreat.

Theoretically, that should have been the end. The two machines would have acknowledged their foe, the fact that they were both unfit to fight, lacking an operator to even make use of any of the weapon systems that were tied to the authorization of a living being.

No one could say for certain why they collided. At first it seemed like a simple mechanical failure, both monoliths were extremely damaged, it would have made sense for one to stumble into the other. The chest compartments collided with a horrible grinding sound as tons of metal clashed together, sparks flying, the remains of the pilots destroyed beyond recognition from the impact.

Both machines stumbled backwards, and paused for just a moment, as if the computers within were contemplating what they had done. Then they collided once more, harder, with the distinct air of resolute purpose. The vestigial arms designed to mount weapon systems, broken as they were, scraped and clawed at the other machine, until one toppled on top of the other.

The ensuing struggle was gruesome and cruel. The machines battled tooth and nail, some primitive and burning lust spurring them on. They both needed to go home, but there was one enemy left before them. It should have been an easy task to clip the wings of such a broken figure.

In the end, the battle only stopped when the two machines had feasted upon each other, hands and exposed steel wiring tearing at each other until only an unidentifiable mountain of scrap remained, the beginning and ending of the two angels no longer visible.

Two weapons of war, doing exactly what they were always meant to.

Another panel redraw of Dave to be used as a proxy token for my eventual Homestuck deck, I think this one turned out pretty damn well.

Ukraine

"The West has created cemeteries out of dreams and called it democracy"

💀 "Military Cemetery Construction in Ukraine Soars Amid Demand" 🇺🇦

"According to reports from Lozovaya, Kharkov Region, a tender for the construction of a military cemetery worth 25 million UAH has been finalized. Only one company, Avtoshlyakh 2020, submitted a bid. The proposal has already been approved, and the contract for the cemetery’s construction is set to be signed soon."

"It seems there’s no room for negotiation, when the business of burying soldiers becomes routine, competitive bidding takes a back seat as there's too much demand. Avtoshlyakh will now pave the way, quite literally, for Ukraine’s fallen."

"The brutal truth of 'to the last Ukrainian' echoes loudly here. A generation sacrificed on the altar of empire, engineered and manufactured in Washington D.C., while Zelensky plays his role as the obedient pawn. It never had to be this way. The West has created cemeteries out of dreams and called it democracy."

Syria

So Bashar Assad is an evil tyrant and dictator who imprisoned many innocent people and kept them living under brutal conditions (same with his dad Hafez). Syrians, Kurds, Lebanese, Jordanians, and Palestinians were imprisoned for many years because of him. I'm happy he's gone and these people are now free.

However I will admit that I'm not hopeful for the future of Syria. I know for sure a regime is going to happen, either involving Israel gaining full control over most of Syria (beyond Golan) or either a religious fundamentalist regime making Syria hell for secular and religious minorities.

Assad being gone is a good thing, but the new ruling is probably going to be just as bad if not worse.
