Jeanette: Is the ~President of Super Earth~ dead? Hunter: No, not that I've heard. Jeanette: Then the Illuminate aren't trying hard enough.

[Hunter is @borealtwilight's boy~]

Shit man, this Super Earth war is fucked. I just saw a helldiver toss a shiny ball and say "500kg eagle bomb" or some shit, and every squid in fifty meters got crushed, had their tentacles explode and then disappeared. The SES crew didn't even commend them, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is using EATs and throwing frag grenades. I think I just heard "380mm orbital barrage" two blocks over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

[coyotedraws]

Yeah, we all know the President of Super Earth didn't die fighting off Illuminate forces, but still.

DIVE ON GEMMA DIVE ON GEMMA DIVE ON GEMMA DIVE ON GEMMA

Fenrir is not obtainable, we need more divers on Gemma to secure it. That is the UPMOST PRIORITY. I repeat: Fenrir is lost, we need more divers on Gemma. That is the UPMOST PRIORITY.

Helldivers are just little freaks to me, freaky half feral dog creatures that are tossed to the meat grinder of war. Starving war dogs that do not understand what they are starving for exactly but nonetheless still chasing after what was demanded of them, hoping that maybe, MAYBE, if they go further-If they complete even more missions, they’d no longer feel that gnawing hunger even if it chips away at their very souls.

ANYWHO😌 this is reader to me

“Remember that you can’t save everyone. Remember that you have to try” YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME JESTER OH MY GODDDDDDD THE WAY MY HEART SANK. But yeah, you are spitting facts out here, I’m ready to sign under every word you are saying here.

@jesterinc, my G, this one’s for you

Helldiver!Reader who lives this long mostly because of the kindness and patient teaching from older divers. The shared knowledge, the shared manuals, shared camaraderie.

Reader who doesn’t know why Helldivers who are so much more skilful and who could (and by any standard should have) left them behind decided not to.

Question that keeps them up at night sometimes, question that ping pongs off the walls of their head, echoing louder when it’s too quiet.

Why-why-why-why-why?

Reader who doesn’t understand why these behemoths of war tried to help time after time after time.

They don’t get it until they got their first cadet joining in for a mission.

Jumpy tense thing, losing more bullets than actually hitting the enemy, not used to a recoil yet, not sure how to adjust the satellite tower, not very knowledgeable about the mechanics of battle that are their new home now.

(Everyone knows that Helldivers don’t die sleeping. Everyone knows that death is better than shame)

Reader who suddenly gets it why these older Helldivers helped them, why they carried a new pup on the battlefield, why wasn’t they just kicked to the side.

It is often said that Helldivers as a branch are one big pack of feral dogs.

Starved for scraps of approval, dying too young and snarling at every outsider. Feral creatures. Weapons of war.

Judgement rained from the sky on unsuspecting enemies.

It is often overlooked that the most prominent rule Helldivers live by is “we do not mock young in the field. We do not make them crawl and beg. We help. We were there once. We know how it feels to be a feral dog in eyes both enemies and allies. We know how it feels to be left behind. We do not leave ours behind”.

You that lives long enough to get a little bit closer in experience and skills to mammoths that helped you years ago to survive.

You who patiently covers for young cadet as they fumble with terminals.

What’s a little time wasted if this one might live long enough to crawl higher in rank.

What’s a little effort spared if you as divers already have to prove to everyone that you deserve to be here.

That you are not just dogs. That you deserve the same respect command shows to other branches.

You aren’t going to make cadet “prove themselves” when they have already passed the selection.

They are already here, aren’t they? Means they are worthy. Means they are yours.

Once Helldiver — always Helldiver.

It’s a constant journey and an uphill battle, you seeing first hand how fucking cruel life is to their branch.

How unfair command is. How hard missions are.

So what’s a little kindness shown if cadet behind them might live long enough to see the new generation of cadets.

If one day they too might become what you were to them today. What older Helldivers were to you when you started out.

Your branch is full of feral dogs and behemoths of battle, your branch is a dangerous thing (a grenade without a pin, a rifle without safety, a big bad wolf) hanging on by a thread of believing that your suffering can make the world a little better.

A little safer. A place where young cadets like this one will have more support, more training, more respect.

Simon watches you intently, eyes heavy with understanding, fingers twitching to reach out.

“Remember that you can’t save everyone, Captain”, he hums out, meeting your eyes in the reflection as you watch cadet buying new stratagems with excitement, their rank plate moving up.

Slowly, torturously slowly but steadily. Up-up-up.

They live thought the mission. They live through next three you walk them through. You won’t let them die. Not if you can help it.

“I know”, you muse back and there is phantom feel of hands on your shoulders, hands showing how to properly hold the rifle, hands dragging you out of hell because yeah, no one is gonna save Helldivers.

Other than Helldivers themselves.

You watch the young diver jog to the “Stratagem Hero” arcade, practically vibrating with excitement, eyes darting to you, asking for permission.

Their grin so wide when you nod to go ahead and try it, that you feel like their helmet might be illuminated from inside out.

They are painfully young and achingly fragile, not yet honed by years of work out in the field, their hands not yet calloused and burned one too many times.

Yeah, you remember that you can’t save everyone.

You also remember that you have to try.

Just one of those missions. y'know?

Did this for reaching 10k followers on twitter. Simple tattoo based off the Starship Troopers one, each pod means a completed dive.

10k -> 10 follower joke -> 10 successful dives.

Squid! A girl I think. She is sending the black hole on Super-Earth.

And illuminate don't have such teeth I believe, but I wanted to draw a maniac smile, so, my squids will have teeth.

I don't know what picture looks better, so I decided to upload 3 versions. Maybe someone would need it.

Incoming Communication from SES Forerunner of Battle

B1: Hey divers, Bile here. Anyone else notice Meridia getting... unstable? The black hole seems bigger n more spinny. It looks beautiful but those theories that its a wormhole for the Illuminate might not be so far off. Also, you can see the gloom from neighboring planets now? That's. Concerning. Means they're spreading. As the bug and toxin specialist on the Forerunner of Battle; I remind y'all to not breathe in the spores.
