Surely, it was shock that had transformed her into this cruel woman, and only love could free her from its curse. Love was all she had to give.

From the weaponry ask game:

halberd: in general, how dangerous is the setting?

-HD

Thanks for the ask! Isn’t it a nightmare that we still can’t send/respond to them from side blogs?

I’ll answer this for Silver Sentinels, since WWLF takes place in our world and we already know how scary that is!

As far as physical dangers go, the small country of Caledon is still a fairly new territory. There is only one major city and a handful of smaller villages scattered throughout. Majority of the country is undiscovered or wilderness. It’s considered pretty wild and crazy to explore it without prior survival knowledge as the wildlife tends to be a bit…curious. In addition, there is a sizable group of roaming bandits who are known to be quite unforgiving.

In the capital city of Hollowglen (and to a smaller extent in the neighboring villages), there is a different kind of threat that targets intellectual freedom. The study of magic has been outlawed and even mentioning it is considered treasonous. The High Guard, defenders of the city, are ruthless in their pursuit of justice. One of the main characters, Mara, was a scholar who was exiled just for looking at a map.

Let’s just say…it’s a weird place to live.

There are a few species of weird creatures in my WIP but my favorite is a cat-lizard hybrid that can change colors and manipulate/regulate human emotions :)

little check-in for creators and worldbuilders!

if you see this and have the energy, what's the most interesting thing people can have as a pet in your wips?

feel free to use this as an excuse to infodump :>

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Gently tagging: @alinacapellabooks @mysticstarlightduck @mister-writes @rachaellawrites @coffeewritesfiction @bee-barnes-author (I only have two WIPs but whatever lol) and an open tag for anyone else!

It’s been a while since I’ve done this and I’ve somehow become very generic in the way I label things. These are from Tomb of Light as well as Ascension, my side WIP I’m trying to build interest for.

Silver Sentinel

"You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. During the End Phase of the turn this Set card in your Spell & Trap Card Zone was destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 card your opponent controls (if possible); Special Summon this card from the Graveyard, and if you do, destroy that target (if any)."

I always thought that it was ironically fitting that when Bolivar Trask first created the Sentinel robots to try and hunt down and destroy mutants, his creations almost immediately turned on their creator and threatened to conquer and enslave the human race as a whole.

In essence, Trask ended up creating the ACTUAL threat to humanity that he falsely labeled mutants to be:

As Stan Lee so eloquently narrated at the end of the 3-part storyline which introduced the Sentinels:

“Beware the fanatic! Too often his cure is deadlier by far than the evil he denounces!”

That's a message that sadly continues to be increasingly relevant with the current ongoing resurgence of fascism and far-right extremism worldwide...

Ooh, great question!

I think Adrin would get something botanical, like a big oak tree on his back or violets on his arms. Hettie would see that and immediately become interested in covering herself in flowers and plants.

Which of your OCs is the best at expressing their emotions?

Gently tagging: @mysticstarlightduck @galactic-mystics-writes @pheita

OKAY!

WRITEBLRS if you're seeing this, you're legally obligated to reblog with an answer, and then a new question for the next person!

Here's the start:

Which of your OCs is most likely to punch somebody in the face?

[askvectorprime]

Dear Vector Prime, what can you tell me about IDW1 Treadshot? What was life like before Impactor ended him via harpoon?

Dear Gunman Gleaner,

Treadshot was originally incepted as part of the Silver Harvest, the mass population boom that filled Cybertron's city streets with life, and was assigned a fairly prestigious position as part of the artisan caste, like many who shared his body-type. Given a particle magnetizer, it was his job to paint murals depicting Cybertron's glorious past onto public buildings. Treadshot saw this as his calling, greatly admiring those ancient heroic deeds. He would speculate at length as to what life must have been like in those times, imagining what he might have done if he’d been there, and dreaming about what he’d say to various important historical figures—many of whom were still alive, naturally.

Misfortune first befell Treadshot during renovation of the Primal Basilica. While working on a fresco of Onyx Prime, a stately piece in the traditional triptych form, Treadshot fell from his hover platform, and impaled himself on the statue of Primus.

Though he recovered to working order fairly quickly, Treadshot found himself reassigned to lower-profile tasks. The official word was that Treadshot’s absentmindedness meant he posed a risk to others, but it was clear to everyone involved that his demotion would never have happened were it not for the fact that he had splattered a senator with his spilled oil.

Reduced to maintaining public buildings, he soon fell in with his fellow artisans Atomizer and Bricolo. The brothers spent both their work-cycles and off-cycles together, dreaming of bigger things. Their bar crawls eventually took them to the Dead End, where the three were introduced to the violent world of gladiatorial combat. Watching the combatants, Treadshot felt each and every blow in his spark—at one point almost literally, when a stray spear sailed into the crowd and pierced his abdomen. Once he came back online, Treadshot found he had a new calling… spraying elaborate warpaint onto gladiators like Skyquake. And much like he had while painting heroes of myth, he daydreamed of how it would feel to be the one fighting.

When Megatron’s grand uprising began, Treadshot finally got his wish. He joined up with the Decepticons to take part in the "Liberation of Kaon" (what Autobots would record as the start of the Fall of the First Five Cities)—and was even able to personally take revenge on the senator who'd been responsible for his fall from grace. However, when Megatron had his legendary battle with Sentinel Prime, Treadshot wound up pinned under the Prime’s Apex Armor. Had Megatron not thought to make the ruined battle suit a throne, they might never have discovered Treadshot crushed beneath, one of its many cannons nearly puncturing his spark. As it happened, Megatron took inspiration from the sight, and tore loose a warped piece of Treadshot’s spark casing, commanding that it be forged into a new Deceptibrand for Treadshot—the first instance of this barbaric practice.

This was as close as Treadshot ever came to entering into Cybertron’s mythology. He spent much of the war acting as just another soldier, with long periods of boredom punctuated by brief intervals of shocking violence. Through diligence over the millenia, he worked his way up the ranks, eventually finding his way into the Decepticon Secret Service as a troubleshooter—but after a disastrous mission to track down Monstructor and Jhiaxus, he was captured by the Autobots, who had to physically pry him from the wall where he’d been skewered.

Placed into Spark Extraction in Garrus-9, Treadshot was eventually reactivated during Overlord’s takeover, and was offered a position as one of the new prison guards. It’s impossible to say whether Overlord knew anything of Treadshot’s history for which to favor him, or if he was selected by chance—but if it was luck that governed his fate, it was certainly bad luck, and over the following three years Treadshot partook in brutality unlike anything in the Cybertronian legends which had once enthralled him. Perhaps, when his spark was reunited with his body, it fell through the holes that lingered from those old near-misses, leaving only an empty chamber to await Impactor’s harpoon.

Here is more artwork of the characters that was used for the intro of X-Men Children of the Atom. When it comes to Sentinel, I'm sure Capcom made up their version of Sentinel for the game as a Mecha and I'm sure took some inspiration from the comics as well. Everything is great and I still would play the game today. Enjoy this post. Credit to Marvel, the artists once again and Capcom.

For a bonus, here is the artwork of Sentinel Capcom used for the flyers and the instruction manuals for the game.

Welcome to Roster Wednesday.

For the next few weeks, I'm going to be making a "Marvel Injustice" roster based upon the Marvel Comics Crossover event: AXIS.

Guidelines

1. There are 24 characters in the base game, 12 heroes and 12 villains. Not including Clone Fighters.

2. Cosmic and multiverse characters like the Silver Surfer and Thanos won't be added to the base game in order to keep the game grounded.

3. Anti-Heroes like Deadpool and Punisher also won't be added. However, some characters will be looked at if I feel like they are a big enough deal in terms of history and importance.

With that being said, here are the first two characters for the roster:

Thor (Jane Foster) and Sentinel were added because I wanted a "pure" character, characters that won't be inverted.

Jane Foster was chosen for two reasons:

1. I was afraid we wouldn't have enough female characters

2. Mjolnir's enchantment requires someone to be worthy in order to wield it.

Jane's appearance also means Odinson won't join the base roster.

Sentinel was chosen because they're a good grunt character, and because of the inversion, the government can't tell who's good and who's bad, so they said "F*ck it" and reprogrammed the Sentinels to take down both heroes and villains.

Speaking of X-Men focused characters, one character of the characters i'm on the fence about adding is Magneto. So, I'll ask for your opinion:
