all the people pointing out the clan tag and asking "new clan???" are fake fans btw cause that was one of the first clans I ever joined since my villain arc started and I quit them just briefly before [LUCH] kidnapped me

didn't know that commendations are a thing in WoT, but just got one in the middle of a battle that went from a predicted 36% win chance and chaos to safe victory.

Replay Here for those who want to see me maul a way too confident wheelie right at the start and then get some meaningful hits in that I believe in the grand scheme of things secured the win

already got two angry fanmails from enemies in just the two days I've been back

hello, I've come across your old stuff about tankheads on Instagram not so long ago and found out you're somewhat active in Tumblr now? 😅

I found your content interesting and saw that you made visual novel games and I played it! although I wondered what happened to H4LW I'm quite curious about it, looking to reach out- I'm sorry if this question is a little intrusive and my English is isn't that best 👉👈

-M, tank artist

oh hey! I don't really draw that stuff anymore in the past couple years. H4LW also didn't get finished because of that fact. otherwise everything about it was finished tho, so maybe someday I'll feel inspired to finish the missing art for it....I honestly don't even remember posting on instagram so that must have been super long ago. but I had a lot more art here on tumblr, on a sideblog.

if you don't mind coming off anon you can send me a message and I'll link you in case you can't find it.

GET OFF MY LAWN

Oh oops, I meant to reblog this on my main actually and didn't even notice it went on this one instead

it's very important that disabled people are allowed to make bad decisions actually. that we're allowed to do things which cause flare-ups. that we're allowed to take a risk and get it wrong. that not every single second of our day has to be about playing it safe and being well-behaved and staying within our limits

and on the days when we deal with the consequences of those mistakes and bad decisions we're still worthy of a) sympathy and b) pain relief. just as we are if our illness or disability is the result of our choices in the first place

While messing around with camos and decals I have in my depot I stumbled upon these face decals. I actually had to stop and regain my bearings after seeing this incredibly cursed visage smirk back at me through the screen. Thinking it would be funny to inflict psychic damage to any scout getting close enough to see me like this, I went into battle.

The situation then actually happened - I got discovered by a T-50-2, who attacked me but then, as I was within 60 hp of my life, suddenly came to a halt, looked at me for a second, and didn’t shoot again. I shot him with a HEAT shell and killed him. After the match, he messaged me saying he was so confused because he thought I was dead.

Immediately after the match, I decided I better take those decals off again.

@eject91 you got it! Depends on your config probably but for me the anonymized players simply have grey/blank stats. Kinda indistinguishable from Very Bad players that way, unfortunately. After the match if you have a config/mod that shows xvm stats on the result screens, their actual username and stats will show up.

Oh and there was also this extremely ridiculous snapshot I took at a Super Hellcat. Can’t hit an enemy standing right in front of me if I fully aim, but this works, I guess. 🥴

Return to WoT went pretty well. I didn’t notice many differences except for slight map changes. Was able to get back into the LUCH clan immediately, too. And some of the matches were rather tedious, but others were pretty amazing or funny. Looks like I still got it~

Some progress on my stats, I guess. I don’t think it’s possible to get purple xTE if you’ve played more than about 200 matches in this SPG, honestly. But at least the kills are coming along nicely (7,738 kills at 4,425 matches).

I was also finally able to get some platooning in with a fella who’s been in my friend list for long enough that I don’t even remember how he ended up in there, it went nicely... 😊

You know what I didn’t get help. I was my own help. I made myself better. Now I’m eating ass masterclass and drinking yummy drinks at cozy cafes.
