[cuddles-with-dragons]

a shitload of incorrect quotes

Tech: *clicks pen* Crosshair: *clicks pen in response* Wrecker: Stop that. Tech: Stop what? Wrecker: You’re talking about me in Morse code! Tech: Yes, that’s what we doing. In our very limited time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you. Congrats, you figured us out! *later* Crosshair, to Omega: That’s actually exactly what we were doing.

Hunter: What’s something you guys are better than Crosshair at? Wrecker: Mario Kart. Omega: Yeah, all video games except first-person shooters and The Last Of Us. Tech: Emotional vulnerability.

Tech: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Hunter: Maybe a bit tipsy? Echo: Drunk. Wrecker: Wasted. Crosshair: Dead.

Echo, setting down a card: Ace of spades. Tech, pulling out an Uno card: +4. Crosshair, pulling out a Pokémon card: Absol, I choose you! Hunter, trembling: What are we playing?!

Wrecker: What is love? Hunter: An emotional minefield. Tech: A neurochemical reaction. Omega: Baby don't hurt me.

Crosshair: What starts with F and ends with Uck? Echo: No it doesn't. Tech: Firetruck! Omega: FUCK!

Omega: I wish I could control wasps and bees to sting my enemies. Hunter: You’re too young to have enemies. Omega: You don’t even know.

Crosshair: If I die, you can have what little I own. Hunter: Wait. What do you mean "if" you die? Crosshair: My unending existence is fuelled by pure spite, that of which the painful experiences of life have rendered me full. Hunter: Hunter: *Sigh* Let me call your therapist again.

Nexu: I’m not a doctor, I’m a medic. Wrecker: What’s the difference then? Nexu: Well doctors actually save lives, medics just make you feel more comfortable as you die. Crosshair: Note to self; never get shot.

Crosshair: Hand me the people opener. Hunter: ... Hunter: Pardon? Crosshair, annoyed: The people opener! Just hand it to me! Hunter, stressed: WHAT THE FUCK IS A PEOPLE OPENER? Crosshair: How do you not know what a people opener is? Its pointy- you know? With a handle? Hunter: Knife. It's called a knife.

Omega, hugging Crosshair: Do you feel any better? Crosshair: I feel much better now that you're here with me. *Hunter walks in* Crosshair: I feel half better.

Hunter: Would you rather kill Tech, or— Echo: Yes, kill them. Hunter: I didn’t say the other thing— Echo: I don’t need to hear it. Tech: …I’m feeling a little unsafe.

Benji, to cadet Crosshair: Oh my stars you are so cute and small! Crosshair: *proceeds to kick him in the shin and run away* Hunter, walking past: Rule number 1, don't call Crosshair cute or small.

Hunter: Omega is at that very special age where a kid only has one thing on their mind. Crosshair: Murder? Omega: Murder.

Hunter: How high are you? Crosshair: 6'4". Tech: No, he's asking what drugs are you on. Crosshair: Oh, antidepressants, why?

Crosshair: Hey, do you know the password to Hunter’s computer? Omega: Fuck you, Crosshair. Crosshair: Hey!! Omega: No, you misunderstood, the password is "fuckyouCrosshair". Crosshair: Oh, no numbers? Not very safe.

Omega: In my defense, I was left unsupervised. Echo: Wasn’t Crosshair with you? Crosshair: In my defense, I was also left unsupervised.

Tech: I will find us a ride. Tech: If you two can manage to not kill each other while I'm gone. Omega: Oh, please. We're not children. *Tech leaves* Omega, casually: ...Eat shit and die. Crosshair, also casually: Yes, fuck you.

Omega: Are you the big spoon or the little spoon? Crosshair: I'm a knife. Wrecker, from across the room: He's the little spoon.

Crosshair: Fun Fact! The average person will walk by 36 murderers in their lifetime. Echo: I like how this is a "fun" fact. Hunter: It's fun because they didn't decide to murder you.

There is a distinct difference between "something good with flaws" and "something bad that's almost good" me thinks

[tangledinink]

has anyone ever pulled on the geminis ribbons in a fight?? like, those things look so dangerous imma be honest. wouldnt they choke them if they get pulled on????

Yeah, no, they are. They're attached to their capes rather than being directly tied around their necks, so pulling on it wouldn't necessarily choke them, but could definitely yank them off their feet... So it's not really the most ideal design for battle...

But they look soooooo pretty. The ribbons twirling around with them lends very well to their fighting style and the way they tend to move. And it's a very iconic look, and easily marketable... Sooooo... it got put on the outfits anyway. It just means that the Gemini have gotten very good at moving in such a way that the ribbons tend to stay close to their bodies and out of their opponent's reach, and have learned how to counteract if they do get grabbed. Just another challenge for them.

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

[basilbots]

There are people who are taking the issue of New Moon and Nexus as a real metaphor for a transgender issue and I honestly find it offensive that they make a comparison of a character who looks like a teenager in a rebellious spiteful, impulsive and angry mood with such an important issue.

If it's a headcanon it's fine, if you like the idea of ​​the Nexus trans for yours AUs it's fine.

Take him seriously as a trans example? That's exaggerated.

Idk I really haven’t seen anyone make it an issue, at all

The tutorial area/prologue Of yokei godneu: welcome to welcome island

The tutorial is the only area where Gofurias does not appear to the party in the main story, as the light stone plot line doesn’t start, until you leave the tutorial area, acting as a simple introduction without any real story presence, basically acting as the calm before the storm

The light stones being stolen would be mentioned, so you have a goal in mind, but gofurias and his allies wouldn’t appear in the tutorial area, plus there also isn’t any light stone in this area too.

As for the area, it is welcome island, an island outside the continent of pheron, it’s a rather peaceful island compared to the more wild continent of terranum, that most of the game takes place on, consisting of a peaceful town and marketplace for all adventures.

Welcome island acts as a little checkpiont, before anybody how wishes to be an adventurer arrives on pheron, as the only safe way to get to terranum is through taking a boat there, so sailors often dropped off at welcome island and made it a community of sorts.

Enemies don’t appear through the 1st half of welcome island, with the tutorial taking place, before a quick miniboss fight against a training dummy, to test the player, after the training dummy is beaten, weak low teir enemies will start appearing on the next part of the treak.

Since there is no light stone on welcome island, the major boss fight instead occurs, due to the small party needing to get to terranum, and get the 7 rainbow light stones back form the master theif and prankster, gofurias, and they need to take a boat to terranum

Unfortunately, the only boat that is docked at the time, has a grumpy old sailor, how doesn’t want the party to go to terranum, cause they just docked and fueled their ship, and was planning to stay on welcome island for a while, also cause it’s dangerous, and they don’t want to deal with it.

The people of Tumblr have spoken!

2B won the poll so have Dragonverse 2B, honestly this is a redesign plus reref bc i hate his old design, this one fits alot more

[aresgodofwar23]

[lookslikethatsallthetimewehave]

wait is that guy from mystery train really kronos?°!

That's a theory I came up with XD

He resembles Zeus in some way, and the way the titans are drawn in the mural.

Kronos is the titan of time.

The old man carries a blue crystal cane, which is like the time crystals the Nexus is made of.

And he breaks the 4th wall in the end, which is automatically suspicious af.

I just don't trust anybody like that

Of course, Kronos is still trapped in the Bad Place. He was chopped up, so his powers are diminished. This old man is not the actual physical Kronos, but a "mental projection", whatever that means.

THAT PICNIC MODE GRINDING SESSION DO BE HITTIN DIFFERENT. why didnt i think of this sooner

[dragon-spaghetti]

I may draw this at some point but the way they finally convince Leo to help them out properly is cause Donnie is like 'if you sneak us into the Battle Nexus, I'll find a way to disable that tracking thing Big Mama has on you :)' and Leo concludes he cannot say no to that

It was a complete guess on Donnie's end btw. He had no clue that that was in fact a thing

Magnification

Practice drabble involving more of my MAG Spirit. This isn't the final product when I eventually come to this point in his story. This is the first bit I wrote if you want more context. Warning: mild body horror via transformation. Enjoy.

Ever since Spirit had joined the group, the monstrous Hero of Spirits was an enigma. The 13 year old… a truth that had been hard to swallow knowing this 12 ft titan is actually a boy freshly into his teen years. At first, he was reluctant to interact unless needed. Time would often see Spirit huddled to the far side of camp away from everyone.

Now Spirit would happily share his stories or things involving his world, his adventure and himself. How he went from communicating in sign language to finally speaking with his voice. If you asked the older members of the Chain, they were happy that the boy feels comfortable with everyone.

Spirit definitely became more eager to show the gremlin side that every Link has. He would often be with Wind and Hyrule for mischief making or hanging out. In short, the Hero of Spirits deserved to act like the child he is, not a shut in that only comes when called.

However, it didn't solve the mystery of how the train conductor ended up in this form. What could change such a small child into a powerful beast for battle. Every member in the group had their own secrets to share, only a few had come out. In the end it was Spirit's tale to tell.

However it seemed other forces said otherwise. It began when they had made it to Twilight's Hyrule. The people of Ordon Village housed them as the Chain began to restock on supplies. A villager had spoken about a mysterious cave that was recently discovered. Really just a simple side quest of checking the area out and then report their findings.

Simple wasn't a thing that stuck with any Link. Spirit had found a weird stone in the wall and the next thing everyone knew was a loud scream then an all consuming harsh red light. Time had been the first amongst his fellow heroes to awaken in this strange gray room. The one who noticed the missing Hero of Spirits. And the one who saw what could be Wind's twin climbed in through the red tinted window.

"Is that Spirit?" His question had everyone look at the much smaller boy. Yet, it didn't seem like the child saw them at all. They watched as the smaller Spirit pulled out a familiar looking whip. "We must be inside his mind." Hyrule's inquiry left a haunting suspicion at what they were about to see.

A thought that grew more dreadful as Spirit sprinted deeper into this strange facility of gray and its blood red sky. How the boy dodges the patrolling faceless gray clay creatures strewn throughout. Spirit then dove into a room bearing a sign in an unknown language to avoid getting spotted.

Realization Warriors first like a stampede when Wind's twin quickly ducked into the strange metal cylinder. On how the snake-like whip currently poked the boy's lower back…where his tail began. "This…!" The glass panel on the wall began to short circuit as red text flashed about it and the metal cylinder seals itself with Spirit inside.

Crimson light poured out from the slim crack while the hero banged against solid steel screaming. Time had run over, his heart ignoring that this is a memory and not something he could stop. How the top half of his body phased through to witness the horrible scene.

Spirit's body grew and stretched through the blood electricity that pierced his body. Bones snapping into different positions with loud painful cracks, green crystals piercing the flesh of his shoulders in a twisted coat, tears pouring down his face now bearing a familiar monstrous maw looked back at him.

How Time went to hold the apparition as the small boy grew into the very titan that they all became accustomed to. Trying to provide comfort throughout this hellish transformation. One all too similar to what he met on the path to Termina. "You met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

Only when Time opened his eye again did he realize that they were back in the cave. His arms barely wrapped around the trembling large form of Spirit. The boy was crying on his shoulders, no doubt aware that they saw his personal hell.

No one spoke a word as they trudged back to Twilight's home. No one left the Hero of Spirits by himself either. They all stuck together providing company and comfort to the solemn child. A soothing symphony filled the night beginning with a soft ocarina then ended by the charming tone of a pan flute.

I wasn't lying about Spirit having a bad time. This train conductor is gonna have it rough but with some comfort to go alongside it. Also Time, you now have another traumatized kid to care for and Twilight is getting a younger brother!

Also you guys got a vague view of Nevada, the place Spirit ended and was drastically transformed in. This is from Madness Combat, a Newgrounds series made by Krinkels. Our drabble here is part of the Lost Train tale, where our transformed Link is on his own before meeting the Chain.

The opposite, Of Train Tracks and Swords, is an alternate tale where Spirit is apart of a team before getting involved with our heroes. Lost Train is more vague when it comes to the Madness Combat side of MAG Spirit's origin. This is basically for anyone who has a specific preference when it comes to material not LoZ based being in a story.

That's all I have for now. Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Hyrule.

(For anyone wondering what kind of bullshit tends to happen in Madness Combat, something like this. 👇 RIP Spirit's sanity.)
