🍭 Lollipop Machete 🗡

In honor of Lollipop Chainsaw RePop releasing a month from now, I have decided to draw my oc Elena Rivera as Juliet Starling.

In the drawing, instead of having the pink lollipop and chainsaw that Juliet has, I gave Elena a Puerto Rican lollipop and a (fake) machete since she is Puerto Rican herself. Elena (as a superhero) has a magical machete as a weapon and her alias is even "La Machetera", so I think a machete made more sense for her than a chainsaw.

Elena cosplaying as a video game character is canon/lore accurate, by the way! This drawing takes place in the Halloween of 2019, where Elena is 19 years old (about 2 years before she becomes a superhero in the summer of 2022). For Halloween that year, she dressed up as Juliet since she liked the character when the game first released in 2012 (She played it in early 2013 after begging her parents for it). In this drawing, Elena is posing and looking at the camera because her and the friends she had in high school were having a fun Halloween photoshoot when they were hanging out together! This was the last time Elena celebrated Halloween. Ever since, she has not dressed up for Halloween, but she plans on maybe doing it again some time and having fun with her new superhero friends.

Another Elena lore fact: Her hair in here looks pretty similar to her "trademark" hairstyle because 2019 was the year she really started to experiment with her hair and try out new styles! There's a short backstory of why she wanted to have this type of hairstyle. When Elena was 14 years old, she began to listen to more of Iris Chacón's music (a Puerto Rican artist). She actually knew who Chacón was since she was younger, but she didn't really listen to any of her songs. The only ones she knew were "Caramelo y Chocolate" and "Tu Boquita." But then in 2014 she knew more of her songs and she liked them too! One time on the internet, she stumbled upon and old picture of Iris Chacón with a unique hairstyle she never saw before. (The picture below)

She thought this hairstyle was very interesting and she wanted to try it out herself! She has already been wanting to try out new things with her hair at 14, but her mom wouldn't really let her. So she had to try her best to style her hair in a similar way with only a brush, some hair ties and hair clips. Obviously it could've looked better, but she tried her best and liked how it came out! So she sometimes would wear it to school and to public spaces. (⬇️ 14-year-old Elena)

Well, I guess that's all I have to say for now! It was really fun sharing some oc art as well as some more information on my character! I really love giving my ocs small and "insignificant" pieces of lore, backstory, context and information. Why? Because it gives them more personality and humanizes them more!

Also I know that this drawing I shared could've been a bit better in some ways (like the hand holding the machete, for example), and that shading isn't really my thing, but I'm still learning and practicing! 💖 (⬇️un-shaded version)

I wanna see Hornet meet an actual bug and be so confused.

Have a transcript:

Dewi is showing the Bug Gang™ the bugs from "his world". He refrained from showing them his pinned bug collection. So he caught some live ants, roly polies, a moth, and a single grasshopper to put on display.

Quirrel is already enamored, these bugs are somewhat similar in their wasteland counterparts, but are more... intriguing. They are more diverse in color and shape, and most of all, they don't seem as hostile. How queer.

Ghost is having to resist trying to kill these strange and simple minded enemy bugs. If they cant communicate they are friends, they must be foe.

Hollow is quite horrified and uncomfortable, but is so conditioned to not show emotion, is having a hard time trying to communicate that.

Hornet is...conflicted. On one hand she's used to bugs being mindless zombies. But these ones here have always been without mind. It disturbs and intrigues her.

[wtfgaylittlezooid]

Saw your Bug!Vicagent.

... could you please give us some more tidbits of them in your Au? Because I've been staring at that post since you posted it lol-

I'm so normal about them /j

Sure! :DD I don't have any references for them on hand, but these two images show their designs pretty decently.

Agent is a pretty rare case of a tall dragonfly, so he's one of the lucky few bug species who can still fly.

Victim is a very special case: a cordyceps fungus in a locust host. Cordyceps are pretty rare, and locusts are just as rare. Locusts aren't born, they are triggered. Usually from a grasshopper or cricket, after going through an extreme trauma they become locusts, but the only locusts discovered are dead. Victim is no different.

Cordyceps are also pretty weird. Most cordyceps simply take the body and woe. zombug be upon ye. However, ancient Roaches wanted to try and replicate immortality and thus began the kidnapping of other bugs and experimenting on different species and themselves with cordyceps. It IS possible for somebody to live on thanks to the fungus, as the fungus can take and hold memories rather than replacing them. Only thing is, those cases tend to be artificial due to the extremely specific requirements

That being magic and a strong body. Poison and Ice are the easiest kinds of magic to work with, and one of the few species that can physically handle the cordyceps and magic without overloading the fungus are moths.

Victim got lucky. He was Alan's first little experiment when he discovered that bugs come from little larvas and eggs and if he grows his own bug then he can have endless entertainment. Victim couldn't fight back well against Gammas or whatever other Deadlanders Alan threw at him, but Alan is observant. He knows bugs use roach crystals to heal by hitting them. So he basically impales Victim alive with a crystal and murders him lmao

Cordyceps finds Victim's body and attaches to it, and he got lucky enough to where the tiny shards of crystal stuck in his system was just enough for the fungus to hold his memories and self. So victim basically becomes the fungus.

BUT THAT IS STILL NOT GOOD. It was sheer luck and because hes not even a moth the connection is pretty unstable. In a strong bond, there would be no worry about reverting to the zombie-like state, but since his connection is so unstable it can get triggered.

On the bright side, this makes him a living magic detector. Its how he finds one of the shards of the Wasp King's crown so easily, which allows him to brainwash Chosen One. On the ugly side, you get this:

This happens after Victim tries and fails to kill Alan. He basically gets really pissed that Alan doesn't want to kill him anymore, that he isnt even trying to fight back, and starts mentally spiraling because of it. He compares himself to the other Hollows which are all sorcerers and have magic, and chalks up his failure and lack of control over the situation to that lack of magic.

So to fix that he basically ditches everyone and goes to Snakemouth Den, aka the original lab where the Roaches experiment cause goddamn that place is potent with it you can literally see it in the air. Basically goes there and something something recreating the events of trauma so you can control the outcome, smashes a shit ton of the crystals into smaller shards.

Agent brings the color gang into this (the only mercenary who knows about vics situation) because he had a feeling shit would go wrong and boy was he right. Victim drives the crystals through his exo-skeleton and

he does it. he gets poison magic. but he still gets knocked down easily so rinse and repeat of him attacking, getting beat, healing by impaling with a crystal, and so on. But yeah the more magic he siphons from the roach crystals the more it makes the fungus kinda lose it and slowly but surely the grip the fungus has on his memories and self starts slipping and the instincts from the fungus and the sentience starts getting blurred. Yeah sorry victim in your obsession and greed for control for others you lost control of yourself

Basically a boss fight at that point, feral zombie vic vs his loyal lapdog of a bug and 5 children. At first its just operating off of the instinct of getting them OUT of the territory, but he also burns through the magic really quickly which means he needs more and oh look at that cute little bee hes full of magic. Basically a stalling game of blocking off the exist and making sure he doesnt rip the crystal stuck in seconds head out.

Eventually they win and after a quick revive from Second, an unconscious victim gets carried to an inn by Agent and everyone leaves the caves that day with so much trauma yippeeee

elytra headcanons i doodled a while back! feat. my favorite joe ive ever drawn

(ID: five colored marker drawings of various hermits and their elytras. each drawing is labeled with what kind of elytra each character has. in order, these are “cloak”, “vex”, “boxelder bug”, “grasshopper”, and “spooky halloween cape thing”.

first is grian. he’s a fae with birdlike hands and feet and a whiplike tail which has feathers at the end, pointed ears, dishwater blond hair, black dot eyes, and freckles. he is wearing a red sweater, black cargo shorts, and reading glasses with small, circular lenses. his elytra is a cloak that has been cut and sewn to resemble simplified wings. the base of the wings are red and the false feathers are gold, with small buttons at each crease. grian is sitting with his elytra half unfurled around him.

next is scar. he’s a human with green eyes, brown hair, and scarred skin. he is wearing a brown brimmed hat, jacket, and pants, a white buttoned shirt, and he is holding a cane in his right hand, and gesturing with his left hand while smiling. his elytra are a pair of vex wings. they resemble simplified bat wings with moth-eaten holes and are a pale blue color.

next is tango. he’s a pale netherborn with messy, swept-back blond hair, pointed ears, sharp cheekbones, and stubble. he’s wearing a red shirt with grey circles on the biceps, gold-framed goggles with red lenses, oversized red work gloves, and black overalls. he has his back mostly turned to the camera and has his arms spread out. his smile is visible, but his eyes are obscured. there are two small, empty speech bubbles around him. his elytra are a pair of boxelder bug wings. they’re folded on his back, showing only the shell, which is black with red outlines.

next is joe hills. he’s a human with long brown hair with green tips, cat eye glasses, and a handlebar mustache. he is wearing and oversized blue t-shirt with a white ��at’ symbol on it and blue pants with patches sewn on. he’s hovering in the air and smiling at the camera. his elytra are grasshopper wings. the top pair are long and thin, and are tan. the bottom pair are triangular and are mostly brown with a green bottom edge.

the final drawing is cleo. they’re a tall, fat zombie with orange snake hair, grey-green skin that has been stitched together, and white eyes with black sclera. she is walking toward the xamera and is wearing a long, flowing, low-cut dark blue dress with gold trim, a split skirt, and gathered sleeves just below the shoulders, black and white striped stockings, blue flowers in her hair, and gold flat shoes. their elytra is a large, tattered, dark blue cloak that resembles huge wings. they are spread up and out behind cleo in an awe-inspiring but menacing manner. end ID.)

[literaryvein-reblogs]

okay i'm just rambling here so i hope this sounds coherent

you know how there's different types of dragons in fiction? i noticed that whenever a work has different kinds of dragons there's always this specific type that always shows up: the basic red fire-breathing dragon

this sometimes applies to other fictional creatures too, whenever there are different kinds of a certain creature (like vampires or something) there's always one type that is the "basic" or "standard" one

i don't know if there is a reason for doing this in fiction, but i wanted to point it out

No, that makes sense. Our view of fictional characters depends on how they are portrayed in our culture. Perhaps to you, dragons always seem to be portrayed in literature/films as red and fire-breathing, because that is the media that you consume or is immediately available to you. But if you ask someone from a different culture, their idea of a "dragon" may be entirely different, perhaps even the opposite.

Here's an excerpt I really like that gives us one possible explanation for this:

Nearly every culture has myths about something called a "dragon", despite the fact none of them can agree on exactly what dragons are....[The depiction of dragons] generally fall within two traditions, "Western" and "Eastern", which come from almost certainly unrelated mythological currents and only share the name of dragon due to a questionable case of cultural translation: Westerners who encountered stories and images of Chinese and Japanese dragons sprung on the similarities to the European dragon and couldn't think of anything better to call them. And even then, in addition to cultural differences, dragons fall into a very wide range of types even in one local mythology.

They differentiate between Western & Eastern Dragons as well, for instance:

Western // Eastern

Are scaly and reptilian (outwardly, anyway), and usually serpentine. // Are Mix-and-Match Critters, though the exact components vary (generally, they can best be described as either "lion-snakes" or "wolf-snakes"). They sometimes evolve out of Seahorses or Legendary Carp.

Normally associated with fire, which they often breathe as an attack. In Greco-Roman, Germanic and Medieval stories, they lack breath attacks but may be highly venomous. Only in the oldest myths they are associated to water. // Normally associated with water (and the sky, which was considered an ocean in classical Chinese thought), and are often considered bringers of rain. Furthermore, the Azure Dragon and the Yellow Dragon are associated with Wood and Earth, respectively. In some works, some Chinese dragons can breathe fire. In some legends, they are capable of this after being punished.

Usually live in mountains and caverns. Older examples often lurk in swamps, wells or lakes. // Usually live in rivers or in the sea, more rarely in mountains.

Any size enough to make them dangerous to man, yet usually within vaguely realistic limits. Typically around the same size range as houses, if not larger, at least when fully grown. // Can be as small as a grasshopper or large enough to fill the space between heaven and earth.

So it seems your idea of a "dragon" is more western. However, the line between Western and Eastern depictions are becoming blurred in recent times, as many authors are integrating various aspects to make their stories stand out, constantly borrowing from different traditions and cultures. Some even create completely new attributes, which is great.

Similarly, with the depiction of vampires, the stereotypical image or trope that you know may not be the norm for someone else. For example:

Chinese Vampire: An undead being from Chinese Mythology called the jiāngshī, depicted as a hopping vampire/zombie that feeds on chi or life energy (though some jiāngshī drain blood while they're at it due to cross-cultural influence.)

Here are some resources/articles I really like that discusses the varying depictions of vampires, not just among different cultures but across time as well: 1 2 3

Like this categorisation:

The Malignant Cycle (1931-1948): The vampire is treated as a creature of pure horror, as popular in the early films like Nosferatu and Universal films.

The Erotic Cycle (1950-1985): The vampire is considered evil but alluring, like in the Hammer Horror films.

The Sympathetic Cycle (1987-2001): The vampire is seen as a tragic monster to be pitied, but still feared, though they can sometimes be redeemed, usually by becoming human once more.

The Individualist Cycle (2003-present day): The vampire can be bad, good, or in between, much like humans, and their transformation to vampirism does not imply a change in morality.

The sheer number of different and contradictory myths that have built up around vampires over the years have made it difficult to explore all of them in great detail. To deal with this, writers have started putting multiple types of vampire into their setting, with the explanation that different myths describe different types of vampire. These are often referred to as "bloodlines", although any term suggesting shared descent or culture may also be used.

Thanks for sharing this with me. As you can see—I can also ramble. Would love to hear more of yours :)

Streamer!Honey Headcanons Pt.4

First Part Next Part

It’s been over a month I’m so sorry 😭😭😭 it’s here now, and there are some things that didn’t make it into this post, but that just means more parts!

—

Guy started showing up on stream more often than he did in chat. Though, to protect his privacy, he wears sunglasses and a face mask.

Every time he seems to have a different set.

A face mask with a smiley face, or maybe it's rainbow colored, or (his favorite) a pizza pattern. Sometimes he wears one that is plain black with a small heart in the middle (honey likes to kiss the heart but not on stream ofc).

As for the glasses, I made this post talking about those ;w;

Every time he buys a new pair Honey has to go in and change out the lenses for darker ones so no one can see his eyes. They are very particular with Guy staying anonymous, they care about his safety more than they care about anything.

And unless he's willing to carry pepper spray and a pocket knife with him while he works, he is not allowed to show his face.

He loves how protective honey is, he thinks it's the cutest damn thing.

—

The first time he showed himself, he and Honey had planned it beforehand. In the middle of their stream, he knocked on the door.

Honey made a big show of faking a dramatic gasp, and saying "whoever could that be??"

They open the door, and Guy steps in like 💃💃

"Oh my god, is that the Guy??"

Guy T-poses, "it is I, The Guy."

Chat lost their shit.

MY BOY ITS HE

GUY REVEAL [NOT CLICKBAIT] *EMOTIONAL*

Oh my 😳😳

HOT DAMN

loOK AT [HONEY'S] SMILE IM FUCKING SWOONING

beautiful beutiful butiful BETTYFUL BOOOOOYYYYYY

WHY HE DANCING LIKE THAT

DAMN HE GOT CAKE

Guy had quite the ego boost after that…

—

Sometimes while sitting next to them on camera he'll slowly start to lower his face mask just so Honey will hold his face "to keep the mask on".

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Honey looks to their right to see Guy eyeing them while slowly lowering the face mask. They roll their eyes and huff, practically throwing their controller onto the desk in front of them. They take Guy's face in their hands, squishing his cheeks, and give him a hard glare.

It goes on for a few seconds, Honey's intense gaze boring through him. They lean a bit closer and their forehead presses against his, never breaking eye contact.

"Stop doing that shit," they say in a low voice that makes Guy's knees feel weak. "Please," they add quietly, and all he can do is nod.

—

The fanart increased, and this time it wasn't weird because people had more of an idea as to what Guy looked like.

Guy still thinks it's adorable, and he has taken to finding ways to share this incredible art with the world in many ways.

He likes to print out the pictures and hang them on the fridge.

He calls the people in chat his children.

Or, at least, he did until they started calling him daddy…

Now they're just his chaos squad.

—

Guy made a second Instagram account to post on without showing his face (as if he ever even posts on his personal acc)

His stories are… interesting

First there's a picture of a grasshopper he found outside with the caption "look at this dood", then you see a really blurry photo with the caption "ASGFKDGFGSJ HALP ITS EVIL".

He posts little videos of Honey 🥺

They're chilling on the couch, their legs draped over Guy's, and he turns the camera towards them with a cat face filter.

Honey makes eye contact with the camera and sticks their tongue out a little bit anD THAT LIL BLEP WITH THE DOODLE CAT EARS AND WHISKERS WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE GUY FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM ALL OVER AGAIN

Before the video cuts off you can hear him make a little gasp and the caption is "I love them"

Fans think this confirms their relationship until they see Honey's story has a video of Guy in the kitchen humming the macarena—and half ass dancing to it—while making pizza rolls with the caption "if there was a zombie apocalypse, he would die first", and it makes them think maybe not…

—

Ever since Guy's debut, he joins chat less often (much to their disappointment), but what Honey doesn't know is that this was all part of an elaborate plan cooked up by none other than their menace of a boyfriend.

He wanted to spoop them. That's a harmless little prank, right?

WRONG

Honey has the most VIOLENT reactions when they get scared, you DO NOT want to be on the receiving end.

But nooooo, Guy just wants to be a little shit.

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Honey was playing The Mortuary Assistant. It's one of the few games that actually scares them from time to time, because of how unpredictable it is.

It was quiet, Honey wasn't really talking with chat. They were invested, double checking everything to make sure they were burning the right body.

Chat was basically left unsupervised, like a small child lost in the McDonald's play place.

Why do the feet have jiggle physics

✨realism✨

wouldnt the bodies be stiff tho? rick-a-morris or something?

HoneysHeaven: shh 🤫

EEEE

Ooh we be sneaky now

Y shh?

HoneysHeaven: everyone keep [honey] distracted I'm gonna spook them >:)

OOOH OK OK

SHHHHH

Oops

Pranky time 😈😈😈

Spoopy scary skeletons

Go Guy Go

On camera, you can see Guy verrry carefully open the door. He sneaks in, ever so gracefully, only tripping over himself a maximum of two times.

Despite his few hiccups, he managed to get in without Honey noticing (somehow)

Y'know that meme picture of Jason Momoa sneaking up on Henry Cavill? Yeah, that's what it looks like right now.

Honey was in the middle of a sentence when Guy pounced on them.

He wrapped his arms around them from behind and went, "BOO!"

Honey yelped and swung an arm behind them.

They've never had any training, but like… they've got a pretty damn good right hook…

They punched Guy in the face.

He fell to the ground, holding his nose, and laughed out a groan in pain.

JESUS FVCKING CHRIST

NOOOOOOOO

LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣

GUY NO HIS FACE IS BROKEN

I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA 😭😭😭

Honey immediately realized what they'd done and a hand flew over their mouth. They were kneeling next to Guy within seconds.

They cupped his face, "holy shit, are you okay!? Let me see-"

Guy's glasses had been punched off his face, but since he was on the floor, Chat couldn't see.

He had tears in his eyes though he was laughing and saying he was fine.

Honey felt so fucking bad.

"No, Honey, I'm fine really. You don't have to- no! Oh noo, Honey don't cry!"

They weren't crying, they were just… teary.

A lot just happened all at once. They got scared, and they punched their boyfriend in front of around 200k people, and they're pretty sure his nose is broken. Leave them alone.

Guy pulled off his face mask, revealing his bruised, bloody nose. Yeah. That's broken.

Honey's eyes were full of so much guilt, you'd think they murdered someone's puppy.

They did.

Their puppy.

They said sorry so many times, they sounded like a broken record. They held Guy, with their face buried in the crook of his neck, mumbling apologies, before finally coming to their senses and turning off the stream to take Guy to the hospital.

He wasn't mad at them. Of course he wasn't.

But Honey was mad at themself, because how could they ever hurt Guy like that!?

He insisted it was fine, that he understood it was a reflex, and that he shouldn't have scared them (because he knows they react violently).

Regardless, Honey sucked up to him so much while his nose was healing, let me tell you.

They babied him, they coddled him, they waited on him hand and foot.

Guy hated that they felt so guilty, but he was getting so much love and affection, so…

He wasn't even that badly hurt, these two are just dramatic

—

After that little fiasco, Guy's account now has a special alert to let Honey know that he's in chat (so he doesn't go do something stupid like that again).

At first the sound was a little ding noise, but then Guy changed it.

Now it starts playing the jaws theme.

Beth, as mermaid Amy 🧜‍♀️ ✨️ Who swam away for a time and transformed.

The very first mention of a cure in TWD happened as Amy was lying dead, but prior to her waking as a zombie.

Rick mentions the CDC while Andrea waits over Amy's body.

The writers repeat and invert everything, so it's no surprise to me that Amy and Beth are linked to a cure theme.

When Beth first opens her eyes and wakes at Grady, we not only see a visual parallel of the blue eyes opening, we also see a clock pointing to 532

532 means Ami, from which we get the name Amy.

Besides the brulent blue-eyed walkers in DD1, Amy is the only one I can think of that doesn't have yellow walker eyes upon reanimation.

The beginning is the end, and Daryl coming across the blue eyes of the brulent walkers, at the beginning of his spin-off, will be repeated with Beth's blue eyes at the end.

Amy gets given this mermaid 🧜‍♀️ necklace by Andrea for her birthday.

Emily Kinney - Mermaid song 🧜‍♀️ 🎵 🎶

Mermaid's can represent transformation and metamorphosis and can represent the merging of two worlds and the potential for change.

The beginning is the end, and Beth is linked to the first blond character to be bitten and transfrom in the show. Amy, who was present at the first mention of a cure.

I AM- name of God.

A mermaid 🧜‍♀️ swimming away.

OH OH

What changed your mind? GOOD people, aka the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the cure.

Good actually means perfect.

Perfect news = cure

OH

Amy wears a t-shirt with stars on it when she dies, hinting to 🌟 The Morning star linked to the star of David/Israel, which her name (Ami) is also connected to.

Amy gets shot in the head in a visually similar manner to Beth.

The theme of water being involved around the time of Beth's disappearance (after Grady) is something that keeps coming up.

Oh, oh, the mermaid swimming away, and Emily's album Swimteam both seem to be lined to this theme and the pool of Bethesda.

We also saw Daryl's map wash away in Find Me when he was searching for Rick's (Beth's) body.

I recently talked about the possibility of a storm coming in when the group tries to bury Beth in my breakdown of Omaha Hotel.

Amy and Andrea are located next to the quarry filled with water when she dies and turns.

There are a few other connections to Beth and Amy that I want to mention.

Amy is Andrea's little sister, and we expect Beth to take on some of Andrea's role when she returns, becoming "little Andrea."

Amy got bitten on the arm, which is something that has been speculated happening to Beth prior to her getting to Grady (the CDC)

She also got bitten on the neck like Andrea did in season 3.

Amy took an unusually long time to turn (all night), and her sister wouldn't allow anyone to touch her or stab her through the head.

If Beth's story is a retake on Amy, then I imagine the same scenario happens with Beth.

She doesn't get stabbed in the head because they already believe the bullet put her down, but her fingers twich, like Amy's did before she awakened. Possibly causing an argument about stabbing her in the head to be safe.

Maggie and Daryl will not allow this...

When her body does go missing, they will indeed think she reaminated as a walker, causing Daryl to start tracking her, but a storm and water causes him to lose the trail like with Rick's map, which made Daryl scream like he was at the absolute end of himself.

One other link between Beth and Amy that's worth a mention is mushrooms, yes fungi.

Lori calls Amy the mushroom queen. 👸Lori calls Amy this because she is off finding mushrooms.

How is this related to Beth?

Well, we saw mushrooms mentioned in TOWL in relation to the girl living in the museum, the same girl who hid in the grasshopper sculpture. Thorn tells Rick that her group grew mushrooms 🍄 we know the museum and grasshopper symbolism is linked to Beth.

Well, in Find Me, we see Daryl sitting next to a log with mushrooms growing on it.

Find Me and Consumed really are templates of how he will find Beth, and finding Beth aka the Morning Star (Jesus) 🌟 will make Daryl a fun guy 🥁 🥁 🤭

Happy guy = Happy ending.

2 Peter 1.19

We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

So today I don't so much want to talk about some unknown mech I dug out of the bowels of Sarna, I just want to gush about a classic.

Whenever I build a list for playing Classic Battletech, I usually tend to focus a lot on my mediums and heavies. I like mechs that get into the thick of it fast and brawl and joust. Jumping jack Thunderbolts, Grasshoppers, Wolverines, Wraiths, etc. Light mechs are important too- scouts and light support and knives to push into the backs of people too busy dealing with my fast battle line. But when I get to the 80+ ton bracket I always think to myself 'why am I looking for slow fire support? I already play An Assault Mech,' and then I strap myself back into my Awesome.

Originally designed by Technicron Manufacturing in Merrick space furing the height of the Star League, the Awesome AWS-8Q was supposedly intended as a replacement for the aging Striker. The Striker itself is fairly forgettable product of early human mech design- it isn't much too write home about beyond being a janky bracket firing pile of direct fire weapons stapled onto a chassis with a questionably large engine and far too few heat sinks. I've got a feeling someone at Technicron thought the same when they looked at Stormvanger's offering.

Gone is the 320 power plant, replaced by a 240 rate fusion reactor that allows the Awesome to stride around at a stately top speed of 54 kph. All of that extra weight savings has been plowed into heat sinks to manage the Awesome's primary battery, 3 PPCs firing at unified ranges, something it does fairly well for its age with the ability to maintain a run while volleying in a 3-2-3 pattern with no decrease in performance. The Awesome is also incredibly thick skinned, carrying 97% of the potential armor its chassis weight allows, a fact that combines with its total lack of ammunition-bearing weapons to make an absolute zombie of a fire support unit- the only way to kill an 8Q is to core out the center torso or kill its pilot. That isn't to say it's without weakness- the low speed of the mech combined with the safety interlocks on the particle guns and the lack of any secondary weapons beyond a single head-mounted small laser means the Awesome is vulnerable to flanking attacks, especially whilst operating unsupported. Something for commanders to consider when fielding or facing. The 8Q is an absolute classic of a mech that continues to deliver well despite its age.

The Awesome has many variants (a few very good, a lot weird and LRM based because the purple parakeet spent most of the succession wars stapling every PPC they could get onto their Awesomes and still coming up short) but I'll just go over my own ride of choice. After an early and fairly mediocre modernization package in the 9M which mostly just made the Awesome more like the Striker (over-engined, under-sinked, and with a return to pointless ammo-bearing sidearms to threaten the precious 320 XL engine), Technicron delivered their own take on a 31st century Awesome in the form of the AWS-9Q in 3057. If the 8Q is a classic car, the 9Q is what happens when someone looks at that car and asks 'what if we super charged the hell out of it?' Unlike many other IS designs of the era, the 9Q is very deliberate with its use of lostech, simply cutting 9 heat sinks and replacing the rest with far more efficient double freezers. Those 9 extra tons play host to the mech's 4th PPC, an ECM suite, and the last available half ton of armor. As far as I'm concerned, the AWS-9Q is the zenith of Inner Sphere assault mech design prior to the adoption of clan tech and God's perfect direct fire support platform. Once it finds its hill, it will pump out PPC shots in a steady 4-4-3 pattern until the enemy removes it, and for a mear 1,875 bv or 7,456,050 c-bills, that's a damn good deal.

So, the next time you're building your inner sphere lists, consider the Awesome. It might not match the flashiness of the Clan assaults or the versatility of something like a Battlemaster, but it does beat them in terms of efficiently cranking out armor-stripping salvos until the enemy is scrap. And that's pretty awesome
