I'm such a fake fan and artist of 'fire 4 hire'.

I'm so sorry, I didn't even remember what was the history behind of the fancomic of Frank x silver.

(edit: how I even managed to forgot about it 😿)

Even if I remember it, I lost every skill of art I got of it...

Hi! I love your Ghost Primes with Optimus AU! It’s so good.

I have a question though, do the Decepticons know that Optimus can see the 13 prime ghosts or do they just get increasingly confused each time they fight?

Thank you for the lovely artwork!!

oh they Know something funky is going on for sure lmao

a little more serious answer: they can tell something is going on with optimus and they desperately want to pretend it's not. they don't want to know how he's aware of things he shouldn't be, how he knows stuff that should have long been forgotten, how he seems to be more familiar with them than he should be. how sometimes he speaks and it's like the dead are talking through him. how sometimes he will answer to empty air and somehow they can just tell what he's responding to. who he is talking to.

they Know. and they really, really want to pretend they don't.

they already carry the guilt of failing them once. the idea of doing it once more is unbearable and they'd rather deceive themselves than face it. they'd rather their friends stay dead and gone than think of them seeing what they've become.

The people voted for Corvus and Soren to be the next of my Arc 3 redesigns, and so it was done! I apologise for taking so long, things irl have picked up so I didn’t have as much time to spend on our guys.

Check out the more in-depth story and design choices below

Corvus

Story Choices

Following the events of Arc 2, Corvus, Soren, and Terry travelled with Pyrrah to find King Harrow but were unsuccessful for several months. Returning to Evrkynd empty-handed, King Ezran and Queen Amaya summoned Corvus, informing him that Amaya was stepping down as General of the Standing Battalion and wanted to name Corvus as her replacement. He was deeply honoured to be trusted with the responsibility and accepted the position, believing that he’d still have enough freedom to spend time how he wished. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that simple, and while Terry continued the search for Harrow with his new ally (who I’m keeping secret for now), and Soren returned to his Head Crownguard duties, Corvus was thrown into the proverbial deep end. Stuck coordinating recruitment and training, patrolling the borders, and going on aid missions, Corvus could only return to Katolis once a month for a few days. And while the distance had left his relationship with Soren…awkward, the Crownguard’s schedule was always suspiciously free during his visits (“Well, I have nothing on right now, so I guess we can go for that hike…”).

Design Choices

Designing Corvus was a fun challenge! I tried to communicate his promotion in the Standing Battalion without making him completely unrecognisable. However, because his Arc 1 and 2 designs outfits look like he cobbled together the most practical pieces of armour, they lack the cohesiveness one would expect from a leader – which meant I had to depart from his usual style. To bridge the gap between Tracker-Corvus, Crownguard-Corvus, and General-Corvus, I decided to take inspiration from his initial concept art and blended that with elements of the Standing Battalion uniform and Corvus’ old designs. His scarf, of course, had to stay – but you may notice it’s been stitched up, a strip of the scarf being a gift from Corvus to Soren before he left the Crownguard.

Soren

Story Choices

Soren’s been through quite a lot in Arc 2, dealing with the reopening, mending, and re-reopening of old wounds. He, Terry, and Corvus were sent to look for Harrow, but after a few months, they returned to Katolis defeated. When Corvus privately confessed he’d been transferred back to the Standing Battalion, Soren was happy and supported him through the adjustment period. Though Soren can’t quite explain why, he grew more bitter as the years went by – though he’s done very well to not show it. During the daytime, Soren trained King Ezran in swordplay, improved his poetry, and did his best to keep everyone safe and happy. In the dead of night, however, Soren would slip through the city streets and secretly meet the spies he’d sent to look for Claudia. No one else was allowed to know he was seeking her out alone, not until Soren himself could decide what he would do with Claudia when she was found.

Design Choices

It wasn’t easy to develop an Arc 3 design for Soren! His silhouette was fine, but I went through about 5-6 different colour schemes and 3-4 different cape designs, and I spent so long toggling layers to see which combination worked best. Soren’s armour is a blend of Arcs, but the cape design has completely changed to reflect his elevated rank. His hair is longer and tied back with braided cloth from both Corvus’ scarf and Soren’s cape, and he’s clean-shaven again. I wanted to show that while he’s matured a lot – Soren’s regressed a little since S7. Post-Arc 1 and post-Arc 2 share a lot of similar traumas (Viren dying, Claudia escaping) – but this time, he lacked the same support system. On a more upbeat note, that scar across his face? Hat had grown too big for Soren’s head and dug in to avoid falling. Now Soren only lets Hat rest up there when he has the downtime for it.

ive started work on a dnp iceberg, so what is some of the deepest dnp lore that you guys know or remember? ive been in the phandom since 2011, so i know a lot of shit about these boys, but its hard to remember it all

Lancer is a ttrpg set very far into the future after the fall and rise of humanity, where before humanity fell into apocalypse, they sent out a fleet of ships into the stars as a last ditch survival attempt.

after many thousands of years while humanity rose from the ashes on earth, learning that there where people before them and discovering advanced technologies in vaults hidden away. later they managed to restore communication with the first fleets of space ships. all the messages back to earth where distress calls. many of the ships sent out didn't make it. "union", what humanity now called its government essentially decided to expand outwards to the stars

and to qoute lancer itself "Union could not bring their dead back home, but they would choke the stars with the living".

now im not entirely familiar with most of the background lore of lancer, for that i'd reccomend watching Zaktact for a better coverage of lore. im personally more familiar with the mechanics so i dont want to give out any wrong information. but to cut it very short: Humanity went through three phases; 1st comm, 2nd comm and 3rd comm. 1st comm was responsible for humanity expanding into space, 2nd comm was mostly responsible for lots of warcrimes and bad stuff and attacking other space colonies formed by the surviving first fleet, and 3rd comm is trying to fix the issues made by 2nd comm

Now going into the current setting and mechanics, you play as a lancer, a mech pilot. not all mech pilots are lancers. lancers are highly trained pilots. the mechs you pilot depend on your license level (LLC), the manufacturer you choose and what mech licenses you choose to spec into.

there are 4 manufacturers, IPS-N (IPS-Northstar), SSC (smith shimano corpro), Horus and Harrison armoury.

for a brief rundown

IPS-N: space amazon, mainly they do shipping and trade stuff but they're mechs are focused on preventing pirates from stealing from the ships by making mechs focused on being effective in close quarters combat by either using harpoons to grapple opponents, by being so large you take up an entire corridor or similar.

SSC: weeb faction mixed with eugenics. their mechs all have their feet out. most of their mechs are focused around being agile and precise. SSC mechs usually have stealth capabilities or functions to impair opponents sensor functions.

Horus: Weird, Space 4 Chan faction. Horus mechs are funky, to say the least. horus mechs usually incorporate some reality bending fuckery in the form of weapons that dont exist or mechs made of millions of hungry piranha like nano machines. horus mechs usually are built around secondary attacks and functions like hacking, drones and generally screwing around with the fabric of space time.

and finally my favourite, Harrison Armoury: the helldivers super earth kind faction, very "service = citizenship" and all that. Harrisons mechs are very military focused, no space magic fuckery, no anime mechs with their feet out, just big fuck off guns. they're mechs have flamethrowers, miniaturized orbital siege weapons and mechs whose whole purpose is trying to get their reactor to meltdown because it makes them stronger.

in lancer you have your character sheet, the "you" of the game, the equipment you carry, the armour you wear and the weapons you have. also for roleplaying you have "triggers" essentially skills your character may have developed from their background that can provide benefit in a given situation. for example the "Apply fists to faces" trigger will apply when your character is involved in hand to hand combat.

your character also has "talents" these work similarly to feats in dnd, where they apply to specific builds and playstyles, like the Nuclear Cavalier, which gives your mech bonuses to being in the danger zone, basically when your halfway to overheating your mech.

when levelling your character you gain "licence levels" or LL's which define how many mech licenses you can have at any point and generally how experienced your lancer is.

licences work as a sort of 3 tiered unlock system. if i wanted to get a frame from the Harrison armoury Genghis for example, the first LL level would give me a system to run on a mech and a flamethrower. on the second LL level i unlock the mechs frame and some more systems. on the third LL level i unlock a NHP, basically a really intelligent onboard AI and a much better weapon.

most licences follow this general structure

in regards to your mech, its essentially made up of a frame, different attributes, weapon mounts and system slots.

the frame is basically what your mech is mostly based around, your frame usually decides most of your mechs stats, weapon mounts and attributes. frames provide their own traits, using the Genghis same as last time, it has the "Insulated" trait, giving it immunity to being set on fire and the "emergency Vent" trait, where when it takes structure damage it vents all built up heat.

weapon slots range from different types : Main, Heavy, Aux and flex, which can either be used for another main or 2 aux mounts. every mech as a combination of these mounts based of its size and usage, smaller mechs usually only having one flex mount. weapons of different damage and destructiveness can be placed on these mounts, including SUPERHEAVY weapons which require 1 heavy mount and any other mount type, essentially removing 2 weapons for the price of 1 really powerful one.

next up are systems. essentially these function as fun little bonus addons to mechs. every mech has a default selection of systems however depending which licences you've unlocked you may have access to more. when adding systems your mech has a specific amount of system points, and depending on the system it can cost anywhere between 1-4. as you level up you have access to more system points and thus more systems.

now quick thing i missed. in lancer lore there is a faction called GMS, which mechanically functions as walmart, providing standard stock parts, weapons and systems for when you dont need / dont have access to them. GMS also provides a blank slate frame called the EVEREST, which is the one you start with at LL 0.

onto combat! lancer combat runs pretty quickly and is fairly simple, which is why i like it so much. essentially the turn order works like this. the players team goes first, in which the players choose which player decides to act first. once their turn is done the opponents do the same, this continues until everyone has gone once (unless the enemies have specific condition I.E boss NPCs).

on your turn you have several resources to expend.

Movement: depends on your mechs SPEED stat, allows you to move, duh.

Full action and Quick actions. these basically work on a 1/2 based system. a full action burns 2 quick actions. so a full action is 2 quick actions and a quick action is 1/2 a full action you can only choose to use 1 of either types depending on what you want to do.

Full action: attack with 2 weapons, do 2 differnt "tech" actions (hacking stuff), Stabalize (heal / vent heat), Disengage (works similarly to dnd's), improvised attack, full activiation (using a system / gear that takes a full action to use), Dismount (leave mech) and skill check

Quick Actions: Skirmish (attack with 1 weapon not 2), Boost (allows you to move up to your SPEED stat again), Ram (melee attack to knock opponent prone), Grapple (grab), Quick tech (full tech but only 1 action), Hide (attempt to conceal yourself), Search (look for concealed person), Quick Activation (full activation but quick), Eject (like dismount but more violent), Prepare (works similar to DND ready an action), Self destruct (funny haha go boom), Shut down (allows you to switch off mech if its been hacked or if its overheating),

Reactions: work similar to dnd, where you are prompted to act based of other environmental stimuli. most reactions are locked behind licenses but every mech gets

Brace: brace for impact, reduce incoming damage at the cost of your next turns actions

Overwatch: attack someone trying to move out of close range

Free actions:

Overcharge: overcharge allows you to make any quick action as a free action, even one youve already done, at the cost of an overcharge resource and you incurring heat.

Health: health works similarly to how'd youd expect, however all player mech have a form of secondary hit point called STRUCTURE. essentially when your hp its 0 you lose a structure and roll a d6. depeding on your result either youll be impaired till next turn or your mech will crumble to bits and everything inbetween.

another health system is heat, however instead of losing health you gain heat by either firing certain weapons, overcharging or being hit with weapons that inflict heat. when you reach your mechs specific heat cap you will lose Stress, which works the same as structure exept the chances of your mech taking critical damage are much more sevre

this has been an extremely breif dive into lancer, and its been a bit all over the place. to get a full look into all the mechanics i had to gloss over i'd look into the official player rulebook on Itch.io. and for any more questions either ask me or my DM @midknight781

hope that helps!

Have you placed the niche ttrpg lancer?

PLS INFO DUMP ABOUT THIS NICHE TTRPG THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT PLSPLSPSLPSLSPLSPSLPSL

[clingyduoapologist]

can you please explain the polycule thing more im so intrigued

OK SO uhm warning this is gonna be a wee bit speculative but also like this is all public ally availible info

Basically basically when Tommy first announced that he was dating someone, but before Molly had face revealed Jack had posted some picks on his priv where he seemed to be at some kind of YouTube event with his Tubbo and his girlfriend Eleanor among others. After Molly face revealed people also saw that Molly was in the background of some of the photos, which is crazy considering Tommy was not at the event since he was strange but not like crazy since we know Tubbo and Molly are friends (this is cropped and very zoomed in)

But basically after Tommy announced him and Molly splitting up and she started making some weird comments on stream (Molly:” you probably miss [Tom] more than I do.” Tubbo: “well we both miss the same parts of him.” <-paraphrased)

And that along with the timeline of events with jack’s current girlfriend mentioning that she could have edated or just been flirting with Molly at some point, really made people start thinking about how people in that formedgroup have been behaving and basically a lot of people have been coming to the conclusion that there’s some probably some stuff going on (the timeline working out for most of this being after ranboo leaves the UK and Tommy starts talking about his sexuality more openly is just more breadcrumbs) and we’ll, there’s almost certainly some kind of Tomfoolery going on

Right then. Something happened.

Soul vore

Is my favorite type of intimate vore

AND I KNOW all vore is pretty intimate but soul vore just hits differently for me in a romantic cuddly way, but only in a very specific scenario:

It's not a digested-and-then-digest-the-soul-too kinda thing, it's a take-the-soul-out-and-then-eat-it-while-they-watch thing

Their soul -how I imagine it- would be like an orb, a maybe baseball sized orb that would be cool and luminescent and be the consistency of a gummy- something soft

The prey wouldn't die after their soul was taken out, they'd just be in a very sleepy state, like completely exhausted, but still a good bit coherent as long as they stayed near their disembodied soul, the farther away they get from it the more tired they become, the closer the more awake and coherent they'll be.

So naturally they'd be cuddled up to the preds belly, close as can be to the light that is them in that gut.

And maybe their pred would tease them for being so clingy, or just fawn over them in their sleepy state, either is fun.

She couldn’t believe she thought the worst thing that could happen was embarrassing herself in front of rich people. Hell, she thought the worst would be that Yue Qingyuan would see her, make some quick mental connections, and get her ass fired! No, the reality was much worse. Fuck, Mobei was going to kill her.

here's the wlw moshang I've been working on for a while! please enjoy MBJ getting kabedon'd by a woman who's a whole foot shorter than her

idk who that white haired guy even is i just like the Howl by Allen Ginsberg reference. still a fandom post to me but for the fandom of dead perverted poets

the white haired guy is antonio salieri! specifically his fgo version

fgo plays around a lot with characters who are influenced by the perception others have of them, and as salieri is quiet famously associated with having a tempestuous relationship with mozart regardless of the reality they did something rather interesting with him where hes kind of like the real person being possessed by the rumors of the version of him who was driven to kill mozart over his jealously and inferiority complex. so he has abilities related to being an 'innocent monster' and hearing or seeing mozart tends to drive him up the wall but if you get him by himself he can also be a calm guy who teaches children how to play music. i like him alot
