Took me some time to finish this project. Chiss Military Ranks insignias designs

[deconstructthesoup]

The dichotomy between Alexis's Smartypants presentation consisting of very rock-solid life advice that was treated with utmost seriousness, nods and respect and Tao's Smartypants presentation consisting of absolute buckwild opinions that resulted in him getting yelled at is always gonna be hilarious to me

!! spoilers for the end of SCTIR novel !!

I made a chart to track how many characters in the sctir universe have Yoohyun's face, and how they are connected to each other:

It's a very popular face!!

Square Military Rank Insignia Militaries: you really think it's reasonable to invade in secret any foreign planet, much less one in a different universe, much less one in the oldest universe, much less one you don't even have accurate locational references to, such as star charts or maps? If you have square military rank insignia know that you come from outside this cluster of galaxies (The Bright Cluster of Galaxies), and are especially not from even any instance of this galaxy, referred to now as the Milky Way galaxy. Pictures of galaxies available through Google or Google Images or elsewhere on the Internet can easily confirm this; if you have images of your galaxy from the exterior. And we have incredible numbers of images of galaxies viewed from outside easily accessible via the internet or any computers connected to it or referenced on it. This level of technology on this planet in no way relates to your level of technological sophistication.

Some of the digital HMS doodles I've done the past week that I felt were thematic to put together.

More ramblings underneath the cut

The first one I did because I don't do a lot of action-y doodles and I felt like I should try to do more - and what's more classic than Soul kickflipping his trident?

The second set are miscellaneous ones I did. The Soul one there is from another tumblr post and miscellaneous ideas - one from the CJFS where people were talking about Heart being able to understand Darrell 'cause bird solidarity (and as I said - Heart has swan wings in my design) and the second was from me thinking about my Mind design.

I don't remember what made me think of it, but I thought about his face being a screen of some kind. I didn't wind up making it a screen (my own mind got too caught up with logistics of that even with my own interpretations) but I did think of it being some kind of mask? Or like... faceplate? All I know is that from writing this, I looked up the definition of chasis and it is... not quite what I meant. Anyways, I couldn't get the image of it being broken at the eye showing the face from the main album cover out of my head. I still want to incorporate both so this seemed neat.

I am a sucker for ‘time was rewind but some characters remember everything that happened and thus try to prevent what happened but also try to romance their lovers again without looking and acting like stalkering creeps’

Jinwoo, Minoru, Haein, Jongin, Ryuji and Thomas (as well as others of your pick) keep their memories after sudden reset

And for them it now turns into ‘trying to prevent catastrophe while also trying to sus out who else kept their memories while also romancing their lovers’

Last part is extremely hilarious because

- Jinchul is slightly creeped out and concerned every time Jinwoo looks at him with those adoring ‘we’ve been married for ages’ eyes

- Joohee being terrified but also confused on why huntress Cha suddenly became interested in her

- Taegyu having absolutely no fucking idea why random Japanese S rank suddenly wants to get to know him

- Yoonho is absolutely puzzled why his arguing sessions with Jongin became less constant and there’s less fire and more affectionate melancholy in it, Jongin is also suddenly much harder to provoke

- Chiyul being absolutely terrified when Goto Ryuji himself visited his dojo and with all seriousness demanded a spar

- Thomas being pathetic cringe big puppy (affectionate) and failing miserably and Lennart is not impressed

Rebel Admirals Rex & Kalani from an au where the clone and droid rebellions were a bit more successful

Rex's fleet (rebel fleet Remembrance) - the whole 'ahsoka's not actually a jedi' thing worked and most of the 332nd got dechipped. (maul still escaped, but they managed to patch up the maul-damage before he got to the hyperdrive, so the Tribunal is mostly okay). the extra resources & manpower allowed the clone rebellion to operate on a much larger scale, and they eventually allied with pantora as a whole with the backing of senator chuchi. cody and later wolffe brought their imperial fleets to join the rebellion about a year later (after the chips started wearing off).

the fleet (one venator (the Tribunal), four star destroyers, associated clones, gunships, fighters, and tanks, plus a handful of stolen imperial walkers and shuttles) formally joined the rebel alliance around 10bby.

(rex got put in charge of the fleet because he's the least traumatized out of all the surviving officers. cody ran off to live with obi wan on tattooine.)

Kalani's fleet (rebel fleet Independence) - something happened and he and kraken managed to steal a chunk of dooku's ships (and later a good chunk of whatever was left of grievous' fleet on utapau) after his death. they essentially got lost in the chaos of o66, since the rest of the separatists thought they were deactivated after the shutdown order, and escaped with essentially a full separatist fleet. since they were active instead of stuck on agamar, kalani noticed that the leader of the empire happened to be the republic's supreme chancellor, and decided the empire was the new target of the CIS army. he later encountered the clone rebellion and decided that since the clones had effectively deserted the republic and were now fighting the empire, they were therefore allies.

the fleet (one dreadnought, three cruisers, one stolen imperial carrier, associated droids, fighters, transports, and tanks) formally allied with the rebel alliance around 10bby, with the backing of serenno and raxus secundus.

Solo Leveling, but the hunters use dating apps—

[magellanicclouds]

sorry to hear your stuck and haven't gotten a break in a while! Sending you strength! You should let me know if you have any drabble requests or something to pass the time! :o)

; O ;! Stumpy! You're so sweet, thank you! What a gift! I love to collect all your writings like a dragon. Unsurprisingly I have had the gammas on my mind again recently and if you happened to feel the pull of some words about them being domestic or happy or trapped in the eternal confusion of Regular Person daily minutia...well. That'd be so lovely. ; v ; Actually, while you're here, if I could. Actually let me get @bellygunnr in here as well. I do need to tell you both something. Milk Snack is an ongoing controversy at station. I have been meaning to tell you- wanting to tell you! But. But the shame oh my dog the shame of knowing that I personally introduced this invasive concept into my ecosystem. That I led it here and opened the door. I casually threw it out in conversation a couple weeks ago and now there are 36 grown adult people, between the ages of 23 to 49, who are hardlocked in argument about this. There are sides. It only took a few hours for it to get too personal and people were bringing family members into it like calling for a lifeline. But that's not even the worst part, do you want to know the worst part? The bigger camp is that milk is a snack and I am at a loss for words truly.

Which OC has the strongest bite?

Hmmm

Probably C4n1d, baby is built to kill🥰, most of my other Admechs don’t have mouths, though outside of Admechs a few of my chaos ocs (who I haven’t really posted much about) probably compete pretty easily.

If I had to rank them it’d probably look a bit like this:

Big brother B (A Khorne beserker, and companion to my blood pact guardsman)

C4n1d

Az-M0D3u5y

Fret & mosh ( Noise marine brothers)

8r14n

Atreus (a commissar— he’s my little freak with his fangs and human flesh cravings—)

And I think Galileo. He’s got some pent up rage under all them niceties and commissar professionalism he wants to go ape shit

That’s just a bit loose and silly with em UwU

Mantis ArchMagos might compete with crushing strength tho— his raptorial legs aren’t a joke— same with Logis. Crunch force on that claw is scary, especially when it means they can crush tech priests like tin cans—

Kirby Games Ranked From Easiest to Hardest

If you haven’t played a Kirby game and don’t know where to start, hopefully this can help you decide based on what you want from Kirby. If you’re looking for a game to simply relax with and have a good time, games ranked 13-9 will suffice. If you’re looking for a challenge, every Kirby game ranked 5-1 will be up your alley despite the popular belief in all Kirby games being cakewalks. Finally, games 6-8 are what I consider to be an average difficulty by Kirby standards. Keep in mind that the difficulty of these games will be based on simply finishing them, not necessarily 100%ing them, though some games require 100% completion to be finished regardless and I will take that into consideration in games where it will be applicable. If you have played these games, I’d love to see where my rankings agree and/or disagree with the rest of the fandom. Without further ado (oh look a Kirby pun), here are my rankings:

13: Kirby’s Epic Yarn

It is literally impossible to die and no collecting is required. Very little to no effort is needed to finish this game. I wish I could say more, but there isn’t anything else to talk about.

12: Kirby Star Allies

The reason why this ranks so low is because a good amount of the game plays itself with the helpers both in puzzle solving and combat. Bosses, often the hardest parts of Kirby games, go down in mere seconds. The reason why it’s not at the very bottom is because it’s at least possible to die in this game, and there are more one-hit kills in this game than any other game in the series. Yes, there are difficult stages like Heroes in Another Dimension and the return of the infamous Shiver Star factory level, but both of these are completely optional and therefore not make the base game any harder.

11: Kirby Super Star Ultra

The combination of being able to take like 10-12 hits and the sheer power+versatility of the copy abilities makes you almost unstoppable (except for auto scrollers). Not even the extra modes like Revenge of the King are all that hard, and Meta Knightmare Ultra is far easier than the main story because you can heal yourself up to 5 times by collecting 10 blue orbs from killing enemies per use, and seeing as enemies are everywhere, your ability to heal recovers and stacks fast.

10: Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland

Not a lot stopping you except for the eratic enemy behavior, but your 6-point health bar makes it only 1/6th as bad as instant death, and seeing as every door is a checkpoint with about 2-5 doors per stage, and the fact that this game showers you with lives, this game isn’t much of a challenge either. Although this game’s Meta Knightmare is an actual hard mode with only three HP and a lack of blue orbs, it has the same issue as Star Allies’ hardest levels in that it’s optional and doesn’t make simply finishing the game any harder.

9: Kirby Squeak Squad

This is the first game on the list with something that can genuinely halt one’s progress, that being the star seals. The player will not be able to progress to World 7 if they missed at least one star seal. With that being said, the required star seals only barely raise the challenge since there are only five of them, three of which are easy to obtain. Mecha Kracko, Dark Daroach, and the Star seals in 4-2 and 5-1 are the only somewhat hard parts of the game. Aside from that, it’s basically Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland 2 but even more forgiving with combat because of the ability scrolls and health upgrades.

8: Kirby’s Dreamland 1

Both the levels and bosses are pushovers. It doesn’t help that this is the shortest Kirby game by a long shot, so there isn’t much challenge the game can throw at you. So why is this in the middle of the list? It’s because of King Dedede, who is easily the hardest Dedede fight in the series. It’s all thanks to the claustrophobic arena you fight him in, making the window for evasion of Dedede’s attacks far smaller than the fights in the rest of the series. I legit “game overed” to this fight many times when I played Dreamland 1 for the fist time. Even to this day, Dedede knocks me out a few times before I get the hang of his move set. Regardless, one very difficult boss fight in an otherwise easy and short game can only get Dreamland 1 so high up on the list.

7: Kirby Return to Dreamland

Now we get to the games that consistently require effort to finish, and not just limited to one or a few instances. Return to Dreamland is basically Kirby Star Allies but with less automation in that you have to perform a lot more tasks yourself, from problem solving to obstacle dodging to combat. Although the number of one-hit kills isn’t quite as high as in Star Allies, it’s up there, especially in Egg Engines.

6: Kirby 64 the Crystal Shards

This entry would be a solid contender for the hardest game in the series if it weren’t for its cheat code, because Kirby 64 has the highest number of mandatory 100% completion tasks, but because the code exists, Kirby 64 is middle of the road when it comes to difficulty, and it plays a lot like Return to Dreamland, being a straightforward action platformer where the meat of the game is overcoming tricky to fight+dodge enemies+obstacles, with a fair amount of obstacles being 1-hit kills. The reason why 64 is above Return to Dreamland is because Kirby is nowhere near as agile in 64. Not only can he run out of flight, but he walks and runs slowly, making avoiding obstacles harder to avoid than Return to Dreamland.

5: Kirby’s Dreamland 2

If you’re like me and prefer easy games over hard ones, this is where the franchise transitions from a lot of fun to kind of frustrating. This game has a 100% completion requirement in the form of rainbow drops, though there are only seven to collect. While that sounds easy, getting the rainbow drops in 4-4, 5-5, and 6-2 are some of the hardest things to do in a Kirby game. 4-4 and 5-5 are fast-moving auto scrollers that can easily one-shot you and take away the power you need for the Rainbow drops. 6-2 has an insane amount to steps to get its rainbow drop, and all must be performed in a row flawlessly. Another thing that puts this game high on the list is the lack of time to react to pretty much anything and everything. Ever played Marble Garden Zone from Sonic 3? The zone where you move far too fast and the hazards move far too fast for you to react? Imagine if every stage was like that, it was on a 10-9 aspect ratio, and the sprites were large relative to the screen. That is basically the level design of Kirby’s Dreamland 2. With no time to react to and prepare for any enemies or hazards, a player is likely to take hits and die quite often, many of which feel more like the game’s fault than a lack of the player’s skill.

4: Kirby Planet Robobot

3: Kirby Triple Deluxe

2: Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Triple Deluxe, Planet Robobot, and Forgotten Land all share the same reasons for their high placements on this list. The first reason is not allowing non-completionists to finish any world if they haven’t obtained enough collectibles, many of which become inaccessible if the player fails to collect them after one attempt. The second reason is because unlike the rest of the series, completing the boss rushes are required to finish the games because the final bosses can’t simply be fought in the main stories and instead are locked behind the tail ends of the boss rushes, and unlike the regular stages, there are no checkpoints or continues in the boss rushes, so the margin for error is insanely small. The reasons why the Kirby games are in this order are because Triple Deluxe on average demands more sun stones than Robobot does for code cubes and the absence of the stone ability in Forgotten Land makes the boss rush at least ten times harder than it was in Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot.

1: Kirby’s Dreamland 3

Imagine taking the difficulty of Dreamland 2’s 4-4, 5-5, and 6-2’s rainbow drops and putting it in every single stage of the game. That is basically what you get for Dreamland 3. There is not one heart star that isn’t a pain in the butt to get, and the worst part is that they are all mandatory. Because there is absolutely zero margin for error, I have no choice but to put this game above all the others when it comes to difficulty.

This truly was an interesting way to analyze the Kirby series, and if you have a difference in opinion, I’d love to hear what Kirby games gave you the easiest and hardest time.

i think i like frontlines a normal amount....... mayhaps................

(when DT is closer, the plan is to get 10 wolf collars in case viper gets hellhound weapons, then buy more to convert to wolf's marks for ventures & glam prisms [to sell off the latter], and then keep the trophies & marks capped in case anything neat is added to the pvp vendors)
