Here are the Magik cards I’ve collected in Marvel Snap since installing the game.

Ghost Rider in Marvel's Midnight Suns

"All of our Midnight Suns have powers that are rooted in darkness but used for good," informs Marvel's Midnight Suns narrative director Chad Rocco. In the case of Ghost Rider, Firaxis could channel an origin story grounded in pure evil and demonic mischief. "One of the specific comics that our game is based on is 1992's Ghost Rider/Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance in the Rise of the Midnight Suns event, which is also one of the most famous Ghost Rider comics. It featured both previous Ghost Riders: Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch.

"However, because our game is a contemporary retelling of that storyline, we felt that featuring the newest Ghost Rider, Robbie Reyes, would help cement our narrative in the present. Since Robbie Reyes is not yet as iconic as Ghost Rider, we also had the opportunity to really play with the character and make him our own. "We tried to design Robbie in a way that felt very classic and very sleek to visually link him to the previous Ghost Riders and that nineties punk aesthetic with black leather, chains, and styled hair. His depiction in our game is very much Danny Ketch combined with Robbie Reyes. Robbie's storylines in the comics are extremely dramatic, and we felt that imbuing him with more Danny would help us capture that level of adrenaline in his appearance and narrative. For example, Danny Ketch's Spirit of Vengeance was depicted as a completely 'other' being that he carried inside of him, and we wanted our Robbie to have a similar experience. When he transforms, he really becomes this alternate Spirit of Vengeance persona. He's completely driven by justice, consumed by it, and even in his daily life he has to carry the weight of that dark power residing within him." While this wouldn't be the first time that Ghost Rider has teamed up with friends, Firaxis considered how similarly haunted companions might synergise, with darkness in common. "This is a struggle shared by all the Midnight Suns, and Robbie was the perfect vehicle - pun intended - to symbolize that," teases Rocco. "The Midnight Suns are a force of justice and a force of good, but many of their powers are sourced from darkness and the demonic. Their powers are very raw, with this undercurrent of wildness, especially compared to heroes like the Avengers, who deploy their powers in a much more controlled and considered way. However, this also allows the Midnight Suns to stand side-by-side with the more established heroes, because while they are lesser-known characters in the Marvel Universe, they feel just as powerful. Their power comes across as almost limitless because it's drawn from such a wild, unbounded source."

How, then, to harness limitless power in a game? "When you think of Iron Man, Captain America, or even Wolverine, their attacks tend to be very precise and very measured, whereas the Midnight Suns channel this overwhelming, untapped power and let it rip. In our game, when Robbie summons his Hell Charger, there are flames everywhere, he's hurling chains, the car is bucking like a horse, and hellfire takes over your entire screen. You feel the fury. It's the perfect visualization of the difference between the younger Midnight Suns and Marvel's more mainstream heroes. Robbie Reyes embodies that tension, which is an important narrative thread that runs through the game."

Forsaken Week Day Three: Balthamel

Creepy smiling mask, and that's about it. I hopped over to the wiki to see if I was missing anything and was admittedly influenced by Seamas Gallagher's beautiful artwork, which led to incorporating loose ties into Balthamel's head wrappings.

Spoilers under the cut until Knife of Dreams-ish.

Like with the previous two, Aran'gar also gets to be included. When I was trying to find out what to do for the spoiler tag I found her outfit described pretty consistently, so it was easy enough to dress her. I thought the flower was a cute contrast to her temper.

I got tagged by @gunkreads to post 9 of my favorite characters. From least favorite to most favorite (but they're all special)

9. Thufir Hawat (Screencap from the Denis film)

8. Shikamaru Nara (Screencap from the show) His short arc following Asuma's defeat was just fantastic

7. Roy Mustang (another screencap)

6. Karis Nemik Man what a singular character. What a dude that Star Wars so desperately needed.

5. Samwise Gamgee A lot to love about the man, but carrying cooking equipment into your grand adventure speaks to me in ways I don't have words for

4. Mordin Solus "Had to be me. Someone else could have gotten it wrong."

3. Sansa I can and I will write essays about what she means for and to me. But not yet.

2. Baru Cormorant I had so much trouble trying to pick a fav from these books. Tau, and Xate Yawa both stand out so much. But in the end I loved these books b/c of Baru from the very first page. Patron saint of mean autistic lesbians everywhere, it's the traitor herself. (If you want find fantastic art of her or other characters from the series you should check out Arian's art tags [I'll tag her later on in this post])

He's the blueprint. The first character I read and realized was both unreliable and good. He's kind. He's cunning. He cannot stop lying to himself. I was (in my deadname) literally named after him: Matrim Cauthon (Art by Seamas Gallagher)

I'll tag @arianwells and @staticvoicebox to keep it going :3

8: Matau, specifically from Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows (art is a render of his movie model)

9: Cahir aep Ceallach, The Witcher (specifically the books) (art by A Stas)

Now that we've gotten a pretty good and probably not entirely predictable range of characters in there,

Johnny Blaze in Marvel's Midnight Suns

(Final character concept, artist: Seamas Gallagher)

The original Ghost Rider is a character who Firaxis have presented as a soldier who has been around the block a few times. His heavy leather biker gear is right on point, with an emblem painted on the back showing his allegiance to the Midnight Suns with 'SOV' ('Spirit of Vengeance') stencilled beneath a maniacal flaming skull. While the main ghost ridin' responsibilities are handed to Robbie Reyes in Firaxis' plot, Blaze has an important part to play also: guarding the missing page of the Darkhold somewhere deep, and before now hidden, in the American Southwest. In the Fallen Blaze sketch, the demonic form of Zarathos (Spirit of Vengeance) is invoked. This narrative detail refers to a selfless act by Blaze while still a young man; the trainee circus stunt-rider traded his soul to save his adopted father and teacher of the trade. It was a cruel bait-and-switch scenario, but it did give Blaze a fiery new reason to live, rounding up sinful souls to dine on. Warning: in Blaze's portrait, you might just catch his Penance Stare.

STILL more WoT Memes.

(I very badly need season 2 to come out so I can have more material to work with. I have SO MANY Elayne and Nynaeve buddy comedy memes I could be making if only I had more pics of them.)

Art from, in order: Michelle Tolo, Seamas Gallagher, Unknown, and Ari Ibarra. Most where found on the WoT Wiki, except for the last which is from reddit here.
