uno reverse card now you're legally obligated to tell me all about your hatoful ship with the boys

When you hold an ask for almost two full years waiting for the hyperfixation to kick back in and it just doesn't kfdgjkdf

God it's been YEARS sense I've drawn this S/I. I chose such a blue birdie sdkfjsdkf

I'm a Diamond Dove and class 2-2's homeroom teacher (and History teacher)! Canon me is very boring just being a background character, most of this self ship happens in the Shrine/Mirror AU where Nageki and Kazuaki-Kun are alive.

Diamond Doves are very non-combative birdies. I get along with pretty much everyone and am very laid back and non combative to a push-over degree. Kazuaki and Anghel can get away with anything around me, which is the bane of Hitori's existence.

In the Shrine AU in my headcanon Nageki is also in class 2-2, and I constantly forget to turn the heat/air on so that just adds another layer of things I do that drive Hitori up a wall. His precious brother can't be in a room that's not the perfect mild temperature!!

This ship is mostly silly to me, but if you really looked at the dynamic we're... pretty toxic. Not on purpose. All three of us are in our early/mid-20's and still very much figuring things out, which really just results in self destructive habits and poor communication. Very real, if you take it seriously.

Which I don't, I like silly polycule times where Hitori hates our guts, Kazuaki cannot stop threatened his own life at every minor inconvenience , and I am just letting things happen as they happen.

#Emile's Arts #Thankyou for asking #Polybirds #I was looking at Quails so I could switch the ship name to PolyQuails to play off QuailBoyfriends #But I couldn't find a quail I liked #I SHOULD though Quails are so round which fits my fat boy image and more natural warm colors usually #Why'd I pick a blue bird when my color pallet is Orange? Don't question me I love Diamond Doves #This S/I has been in WIP for YEARS but sense Kewpidity threatened to Tumblr the other day I wanted to finally answer this ask #Even if the design isn't final #The dynamic is #I'm Anghel's homeroom teacher he's my weird little guy and his power's don't affect me because I'm so passive #Shuu eventually gets involved in this polycule as a QPP I feel because I do think he's silly #But Kazuaki's scared of him and Hitori wants to bite his head off so maaaaaaybe not #kfjgkfdj #Thanks again for asking!!! Sorry there isn't much to tell #ALSO SORRY FOR HOLDING YOUR ASK FOR ACTUALLY TWO YEARS #THIS S/I'S DESIGN IS A WIP BIRDS ARE HARD

Your long and arduous journey has led you to this, the final confrontation. You thought you knew what to expect, but just as you struck the final blow, your ultimate foe's eyes gleamed with unnatural light as they proclaimed…

THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM

A game for 4–6 players

Introduction

This Isn't Even My Final Form is a GMless tactical minigame for 4–6 players. You'll take on the roles of a party of heroic adventurers nearing the end of a world-spanning quest to defeat a great evil, the Final Boss. Unfortunately for them, each time they think they've won, the Final Boss assumes a new, even more horrifying form, and the struggle begins anew. Is there any end to this conflict? There's only one way to find out!

What You'll Need

This Isn't Even My Final Form requires a dozen six-sided dice, as well as a way of keeping track of a few important numbers – a shared text document or some scrap paper will suffice.

Update 2023-10-30: Print-and-play card decks are available here:

http://penguinking.com/this-isnt-even-my-final-form/

Character Creation

Choose two of the following actions to be your Party Member's Class Actions: Strike, Heal, Buff, Debuff. If you'd rather determine this randomly, roll on the following table.

1. Strike, Heal 2. Strike, Buff 3. Strike, Debuff 4. Heal, Buff 5. Heal, Debuff 6. Buff, Debuff

Give your Party Member's Class a name which suits your Class Actions. Also give your Party Member a name; it is traditional but not obligatory for your Party Member's name to have exactly five letters.

Playing the Game

Play is divided into a series of Phases. During each Phase, one player takes on the role of the Final Boss. That player's Party Member does not participate in this Phase; they're trapped, lost, incapacitated, or otherwise separated from the party or unable to act for the duration of the Phase. All other players take on the roles of their Party Members.

The Final Boss player's first order of business is to describe what the current Phase looks like. The Final Boss player can roll 1–3 times on the following table (re-rolling duplicates) to decide on a theme, or use it as inspiration for their own theme. To use this table, roll a six-sided die twice, treating the first roll as the "tens" place and the second roll as the "ones" place, yielding a number in the range from 11 to 66.

11. Beasts 12. Bells 13. Blood 14. Bones 15. Chains 16. Chaos 21. Cubes 22. Eyes 23. Fire 24. Flowers 25. Food 26. Games 31. Gears 32. Glass 33. Gold 34. Hands 35. Holes 36. Ice 41. Iron 42. Light 43. Mazes 44. Meat 45. Mirrors 46. Music 51. Orbs 52. Order 53. Plague 54. Shadow 55. Slime 56. Space 61. Spikes 62. Teeth 63. Time 64. Trees 65. Weapons 66. Wings

Once the Phase has been defined, set the party's Momentum to zero. Momentum is a value which will increase or decrease over the course of the Phase; it has a minimum value of zero, and no particular upper limit.

Play proceeds in a series of rounds, as follows.

The Final Boss Attacks

The Final Boss always goes first in each round. Roll one die:

1–3: The Final Boss chooses one of the following actions. 4–5: The Final Boss chooses two of the following actions. You may not target the same Party Member twice; however, you may use the same action on two different Party Members if you wish. 6: The Final Boss does nothing this round. On its turn next round, it does not roll and instead uses its Ultimate Attack.

Wound: Inflict the Critical Condition on a single Party Member. If the chosen Party Member already has the Critical Condition, it's replaced with the Down Condition and the party loses one Momentum.

Imprecate: Inflict the Cursed Condition on a single Party Member.

Envenom: Inflict the Poisoned Condition on a single Party Member.

Bewilder: Inflict the Confused Condition on a single Party Member.

Counter: If you're targeted by the Strike or Debuff actions this round, after resolving that action, perform the Wound action on the Party Member who targeted you. You may counter any number of actions in this way.

Dispel: Remove the Buffed and Protected Conditions from any number of Party Members.

Enrage: The Final Boss rolls two dice and takes the better result on its next action. The party may cancel this benefit with a successful Debuff action; doing so removes the extra die instead of forcing the Final Boss to roll twice and take the lower result.

Ultimate Attack: This action can only be chosen by rolling a 6 during the previous round. When the Final Boss uses this action, choose Cursed, Poisoned, or Confused: you may perform the Wound action AND inflict the chosen Condition upon any number of Party Members, in that order. (i.e., Wound each targeted Party Member, THEN Curse/Confuse/Poison any who remain standing.)

The Final Boss player describes the outcome of the chosen action(s) in as much or as little detail as they like; control then passes to the other players.

The Party Acts

After the Final Boss has attacked, each Party Member who doesn't have the Down condition chooses one of the following actions, in any order the players wish. After choosing any action other than Defend, the player rolls their dice pool, which is a handful of six-sided dice constructed as follows:

Start with a number of dice equal to the party's current Momentum (initially zero, though it will grow over the course of the Phase)

Add one die if you're performing one of your Party Member's Class Actions

Add one die if your Party Member currently has the Buffed Condition

Add one die if your Party Member currently has the Critical Condition

Roll all of the dice together, and find the highest result. Ties for the highest result have no special significance; for example, if you rolled four dice and got 1, 3, 5 and 5, your result is 5. If you'd ever end up with zero or fewer dice for any reason – either because your dice pool was empty to begin with, or because some effect obliged you to discard every die you rolled – you receive an automatic result of 1.

If an action requires you to target a specific Party Member or make other choices, you can wait and see the result of your roll before making those decisions.

Strike: You attack the Final Boss. Roll your dice pool:

1–3: Nothing happens – either the attack misses, or the Final Boss turns out to be immune to whatever you just did. 4–5: The attack strikes true. The party gains one Momentum. 6: Critical hit! The party gains two Momentum.

Special: If you roll triples or better (i.e., at least three of the same number) on a Strike action, the Final Boss' current Phase is defeated, and you move on to the next Phase. It doesn't matter what number comes up triples.

Heal: You attempt to restore the party's strength. Roll your dice pool:

1–3: You may remove the Critical Condition from a single Party Member. If no Party Member has the Critical Condition, nothing happens. 4–5: You may remove the Critical Condition from any number of party members OR you may remove the Down Condition from a single Party Member. 6: You may remove the Critical and Down Conditions from any number of party members.

Buff: You attempt to bolster a party member. Roll your dice pool:

1–3: You may grant the Buffed Condition to a single Party Member OR remove a Condition of your choice other than Critical or Down from a single Party Member. 4–5: You may grant the Buffed Condition to a single Party Member AND remove a Condition of your choice other than Critical or Down from that Party Member, if they have one. 6: You may grant the Buffed Condition OR remove a Condition of your choice other than Critical or Down to any number of Party Members. You may choose a different option for each targeted Party Member.

Debuff: You attempt to weaken the Final Boss. Roll your dice pool:

1-3: Nothing happens – it turns out the Final Boss was immune to that effect. 4–5: The Final Boss rolls two dice and takes the lower result on its next action. 6: The Final Boss rolls two dice and takes the lower result on its next action AND the party gains one Momentum.

Defend: You may grant the Protected condition to a Party Member of your choice. Do not roll.

Based on the outcome of your roll (if applicable), describe the outcome of your action in as much or as little detail as you wish.

Once each Party Member has acted, return to "The Final Boss Attacks" to begin the next round.

Ending the Phase

As noted above, rolling triples or better on a Strike action results in the immediate defeat of the current Phase. Alternatively, if all Party Members simultaneously have the Down Condition, the Final Boss player's Party Member suddenly breaks free or arrives on the scene and rescues everyone in a stunning deus ex machina; this also ends the Phase, but does not count as defeating it.

In either case, reset the party's momentum to zero, remove all Conditions, and move on to the next Phase. The role of the Final Boss passes to a different player, with preference given to those who haven't yet had a chance to be the Final Boss; the previous Final Boss player resumes playing their Party Member.

Continue until the party has defeated a number of Phases at least equal to the number of players, or until mutual agreement has been reached that all this has gone on quite long enough.

Conditions

Some actions can impose Conditions upon the individual Party Members. Conditions can be positive or negative, and last until specific conditions for their removal are met.

Buffed: Your strength has been boosted. When rolling your dice pool, you roll one extra die.

Confused: You've lost your wits. When the party acts, your action is determined by rolling a d6 – 1: Strike; 2: Heal; 3: Buff; 4: Debuff; 5: Defend; 6: do nothing this round AND remove this Condition. This Condition is also removed if you gain the Critical Condition while under its effects. You may choose targets normally if the rolled action requires them. Confused Party Members always act before their un-Confused peers; if there are multiple Confused Party Members, the Final Boss decides the order in which they act.

Critical: You are badly wounded. Desperation lends strength, and so this Condition adds one extra die to your dice pools; however, if you suffer the Critical Condition a second time, it becomes the Down Condition instead.

Cursed: You've been afflicted with misfortune. Discard your highest result after rolling your dice pool, but before applying your chosen action's effects. If there's a tie for the highest result, discard all of them; for example, if you roll four dice while Cursed and get 1, 3, 5 and 5, your result is 3. If the Condition causes you to discard your only set of triples of better on a Strike action, the Phase does not end.

Down: You are incapacitated by injury or foul enchantment. When the party acts, you may not choose an action; your action remains lost even if this Condition is removed before the end of the round. When you gain this Condition, remove all other Conditions, and the party loses one Momentum. (This is not in addition to the Momentum loss noted by effects which inflict this Condition – those are just reminders.) You may not gain other Conditions while this one persists.

Poisoned: You're afflicted by a poison, plague, or death-curse. If you have the Poisoned Condition after resolving your action for the round, you gain the Critical Condition. If you already have the Critical Condition, you instead gain the Down Condition, and the party loses one Momentum.

Protected: The next time you would gain any Condition other than Buffed, remove this Condition instead. You also remove this Condition if you take any action other than Defend on your turn.

this description made me realise what one of my favourite MXTX character tropes is: Over-Worked, Under-Appreciated Employee Who Is Not Above Becoming Somewhat Evil About It

#jin guangyao #shang qinghua #sha hualing #ling wen #svsss #tgcf #mdzs #jgy #sqh #shl #i can't get over the descriptions of shl ''the demon race’s star employee Sha Hualing''#''her current role as an overworked and underpaid employee seems something of a downgrade''#honestly the other three would probably get along relatively well if they could just shove sha hualing into a cupboard somewhere #let them do paperwork and drink tea together in a calm room where no one is bothering them u.u #they're all in fantasy public service and should be allowed to commit a few atrocities. as a treat.#i'm so happy to have finally found an excuse to draw sha hualing i love her design #every other character is wearing upwards of 7 fucking layers - she saw a sexy sexy niche and decided to fill it... or sqh did i guess #i debated putting yin yu in here as well but you know what. even if he works for a ghost king he just really isn't that evil #sorry yin yu once again you just don't quite make the cut #(also he wrecked my composition)#my art

i think wars and sky would be good friends

#qkdraws #suncaster au #suncaster warriors #suncaster lumen #the legend of zelda #legend of zelda #tloz #loz #loz au #zelda au #new sky design!!!!! hope he looks alright #i've been wanting to redesign sky so bad for so long . it's finally been done #i kinda took bits and pieces from both skyward sword npcs and botw rito npcs as inspo #hope it meshes well #i am also aware it's barely recognizable as sky and .yeah ur right VGIYEAV #maybe it's the wildly different outfit maybe it's the fact that i straight up can never make him Look Like Sky . we'll never know i guess #this isn't rly abt them both bein knights even it's just that i think him and sky would mesh well #sky laughs a lot at silly jokes n shit. he's warm and comforting and approachable and wars needs that #wars would make him laugh so much #and im a big fan actually of sky unintentionally dropping the funniest fucking jokes on the planet #and it catches wars off-guard sm bc often times they r blunt and quick and not what you'd expect sky to say #he's got a sassy side #sky and wars also have the whole Gentle and Warm Guy Who WILL Kill You if You Fuck with His Friends thing in common #they r both very nice and soft and smiley and it takes a lot to rile them up. but when they're riled up they are Scary #i also think that sky sometimes needs Order #like ?? sky is pretty put-together overall but sometimes he does lose sight of the big picture and gets overwhelmed #and wars is really really good at redirecting people back on track. he's rly good at Seeing when people need that #i just think they fit well . They Are Friends :]

this was supposed to be a rendering attempt hence it's unfinished BUT FINALLY, I drew something for the Reverse 1999 version of Halley ✨

she doesn't have the frost-tipped hair like her OG counterpart, but I think the two-tone suits her comet themes much better. also decided that I might make a marble one of her main items for Lore Reasons

#reverse 1999 oc #reverse 1999 #anime girl #digital #illustration #artists on tumblr #what do I even tag this as lkjldjasd #my art #my ocs #oc: halley (r1999)#this isn't the finalized design for her outfit since it's WAY too plain #thinking of interesting motifs for it is difficult hhh #right now the biggest one is ofc 'scientist'#but also the sillhouette of the outfit is supposed to look similar to what noblemen wore during the 17th-18th centuries #since Edmund Halley observed the comet during that period

my mrd ocs Gossamer (rat) and Glass (heart), aka "Sad Rat Dead"

"Gossamer is dead… right? Glass, their heart that's falling apart, isn't so sure, because even though the despondent rat has given up and gone ghostly, their heart is still beating. While Gossamer has accepted their death, Glass doesn't want to give up the ghost just yet. They urge Gossamer out of their cage to find a way to regain corporeality, and together they learn what it takes to want to keep living."

"C'mon, Gossamer! Don't you at least have a final wish for your last day?" "I don't know... I don't think I do..." "Well then... let's live long enough to find one, okay?"

#mrd #mad rat dead oc #mrd oc #mad rat dead #general oc tag #glass isn't fully developed yet design wise; id rather them be easier to draw and this broken design isnt very good yet. idk #generally their entire shtick is that gossamer is the ''depression and acceptance'' part of grief and glass is ''denial and bargaining''#obviously we don't need anger because mad rat exists already hfkhd #it probably plays like a roguelite version of mad rat dead because gossamer doesnt have the reversing time mechanic (since it requires-#(gossamer to ask their heart to want to relive their final day; which they don't really care about. but glass wants to!!)#they learn more about each other as the story goes on and understand each other's way of thinking and help each other grow.#very big allegory for living with depression. like its not even subtextual; Gossamer very much has debilitating depression.#i think its an interesting parallel to mrd! rat struggling to live his last day on earth learning to accept his death in the end #and then a rat waiting to die on their last day on earth learning how to want to live again.#i think the story's bound to be very cheesy but hey; it's mad rat dead after all hgkjh #my favorite color is queue

Merry Late Christmas!

(You see Nathaniel's handwriting. "What an energetic holiday morning!")

Winter is a very sluggish time for these three. They're fighting hard against whatever funky DNA is telling them to hibernate. Even harder against the urge to eat everything in the fridge and laze around.

Here's the older one for comparison!

...Needless to say I hated it. Vincent looked so cursed for me, and Sera- I don't know what I did there.

#amontag #vincenttag #Coming out of burnout strong #art improvement #Their clothes finally look like clothes. Amon's hand isn't mirrored anymore.#Nate gave Vince a sweater to use since the only shirts he owns are tacky band tees or poor ripped excuses of tank tops #Birdpeople have higher internal body temperatures than humans. Even then Sera hates the cold. Vincent's seen worse.#I never mentioned this... But Amon and the birdyfolk all have a higher level of keratin/biotin production :D especially Amon.#this is what allows him to make scales and be cool while also having rockstar hair. He lets it go wild sometimes but often cuts it.#His hair then proceeds to grow back to this length in two months.#I'm finally drawing them more consistently #I also finally know what design to go for with Sera's face. Only took me three years.#ARK_SYSTEMA #Seraphinatag #art #artwork #digital art #my art #my artwork #MY OCs #original character #OC #my OC #OC art #Illustration #digital illustration

So those death flags on Roberto eh... Meryl is definitely using that derringer after he dies, right? It's her signature gun, there's no way she won't...

#If they don't do this actually I'll be '??????????'#But yeah the theory that we will be getting Milly after Roberto dies in July grows stronger every episode #[chanting] timeskip timeskip timeskip timeskip timeskip... I really really want one #More experienced Meryl taking on a newbie partner in Milly. Wolfwood aging super fast. Knives healing period. Older Elendira... PLS.....#Trigun #Trigun stampede #Spoilers #Trigun spoilers #Trigun stampede spoilers #I'm very curious to see where episode 5 is going to take us bc they're nowhere NEAR July or even the orphanage #Which means. Hopefully. The pacing really is slowing down now. This episode was great with it... I'm v happy so far #Still bitter about elendira being a kid in this remake tho. That's one of the really big reasons I want a timeskip tbh #I wanted to see her using the giant fkoff crossbow and kicking ass :(#Plus her new design isn't anywhere near as visually interesting as the others shown. I really liked zazies redesign #But she's just in like a white gown. I couldn't even *tell* it was her til I checked the subreddit n they talked about subtitles.#I thought they had introduced a new independent plant bc the design doesn't resemble her at all #She's one of my fave characters and I was SO excited to see her finally animated after all this time 😭#It's the main reason I'm gunning for a timeskip so bad... I want actual elendira not a totally different character with her name attached

gortash and pre-amnesia abaddon are dominating my brain rn. horrible people in love is so fucking good

technically not in love at this point, i picture this happening closer to the beginning of their alliance. nowhere near trusting each other yet but at least secure enough in each other's dedication to the cause. a playful moment where abaddon refers to gortash as My Lord, putting on airs to act as one of the fancy ladies of the courts he's more accustomed to lately, and him playing right along. coincidentally, the first time they ever actually touched.

something i couldn't include here with how messy this is: i picture abaddon as having some aasimar-like traits, being the child/aspect of a god, and one of their personal quirks is having their skin briefly turn pitch black at the touch of others before slowly fading. so gortash noticing how his lips leave a mark on the back of their hand as he's pulling away and filing that little detail away for later.

(there shouldn't have been a mark, because formal hand kisses typically don't actually involve lip-to-hand contact, but he was being cheeky)

((quickly glanced at one of these pose assets for a general reference))

bonus: i haven't drawn gortash before and i needed to practice, so some quick doodles of the power couple i did before the bigger piece

tyrant-slaver-jackass and his cannibalistic-antichrist-serial killer girlfriend

#bg3 #bg3 gortash #bg3 dark urge #abaddon tag #durge tag #gortash tag #art tag #(she/they for abaddon btw)#time to ramble in the tags about the art part #my biggest nitpick here would be that gortash should be taller #either bending down further or having to raise abaddon's hand further up to reach it comfortably #abaddon isn't very tall. i'd say like. hm. around 5'7“?#but their hips are even in height here which implies same/similar height #how tall is gortash. taller than 5'7" in my head at least #BUT that's a nitpick. this was relatively quick and fun and i'm happy with it :)#this image has been in my head for a bit now. haunting me. it finally possessed me #woke up after like four hours of sleep and went into a fugue state #also my style is usually pretty messy/sketchy and that works in my favor here #so many fucking little details in gortash's design #don't gotta worry about those if it's sketchy as hell #hashtag lifehacks #the colors on this are different between my tablet and my one monitor and my second monitor #looks darker on the main monitor #haven't been able to synchronize between the screens #i think it looks fine on all of them but deffo different #hm #if it's goin in the main tag i feel like maybe i should use spoiler tags #bg3 spoilers #there
