Rosa and Wanda had been making out alone in the compound. Alone, but not in the privacy of their own rooms. That hadn't, however, stopped either of them escalating, and now they were naked in each others arms, Wanda laying across Rosa's lap, grinding on her, while Rosa groped the other woman's gorgeous breasts.

kicking my feet thinking about. sorry you would not believe how much dragon age rosanna lore there is locked away in my brain. her running around minrathous fucking things up and running into her brother. she doesn't recognize him but he does her because she looks just like their mother. and it's a real reverse alistair + goldanna situation where he's like omg my beloved sister I've been looking for you and our other five sisters for years now you can come see our mother and we can be a family again 🥰🥰 and she's just like. if you take me to see your mother i will kill her badly.

Hi hello :3 :3 for the ask game, desire for Rosanna and nightmare for Starlight? And any other ocs too if you think they fit/come to mind! Also wound for any oc(s) 👀👀

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Rosanna (a pirate captain, as context for those who dont know my ocs) wants a home. A family. She has those- her ship and her crew are her home, her crew is her family- so I guess those are more what she wants to keep rather than what she desires but doesn't have. Other than that, I'd say her greatest desire is to be a good captain. She's open with that desire in the way that she doesn't hide it, but it's not something she discusses directly aside from with her first mate Alastair (or a few of the others, should they catch her in a moment of vulnerability)- the crew as a whole doesn't need to worry about their captain having doubts about her leadership abilities.

nightmare: What does your OC have nightmares about? How do they deal with their nightmares? Do they tell people, or keep it to themself?

Starlight doesn't sleep! Not really. The closest she gets is essentially completely and utterly zoning the fuck out. I think she can't really have nightmares like that, but she definitely has general Bad Shit going on in her brain considering her situation and she deals with it by. not dealing with it. As for telling people... Starlight is probably my most inconsistent OC, but one thing that's been constant is that she is alone. There's no one at all to tell about it. If someone was there she would tell them literally anything and everything bc she hasn't been able to talk to anyone for a very long time.

wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced?

I'll use Alastair for this one since I mentioned him earlier. Alastair handles being wounded... pretty well, probably. He's been living life as a pirate for a long while and wasn't in the best of situations before that, so he's been in plenty of fights and bad situations. Pain is something he prefers to avoid for sure, but he's not gonna stop functioning if hes a little hurt (unless the wound is something that sorta makes that the only option). His wounds have been mostly physical but there's definitely some underlying emotional things. The worst wound he's ever experienced would probably be a big ol stab wound that he barely survived.

U.S. Army Officer Confirms Russian A-50 Radar Jet Was Shot Down With Patriot Missile

The U.S. Army colonel described how Ukrainian Patriot operators staged a “SAMbush” to bring down the A-50 in January of this year.

Thomas NewdickPUBLISHED Jun 10, 2024 6:55 PM EDT

The Beriev A-50U ‘Mainstay’ airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft based on the Ilyushin Il-76 transport aircraft belonging to Russian Air Force in the air. ‘U’ designation stands for extended range and advanced digital radio systems. This aircraft was named after Sergey Atayants – Beriev’s chief designer. (Photo by: aviation-images.com/Universal Images Group via Getty Images).

A U.S.-made Patriot air defense system was responsible for shooting down a Russian A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft over the Sea of Azov on January 14, according to a U.S. Army officer. The high-value aircraft, one of only a handful immediately available to Russia, was the first of two brought down in the space of five weeks. Previously, a Ukrainian official confirmed to TWZ that the second A-50 was brought down by a Soviet-era S-200 (SA-5 Gammon) long-range surface-to-air missile.

Speaking on a panel at the United States Field Artillery Association’s Fires Symposium 2024 last week, Col. Rosanna Clemente, Assistant Chief of Staff at the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command, confirmed that the first A-50 fell to a German-provided Patriot system, in what she described as a “SAMbush,” or surface-to-air missile ambush.

“They have probably about a battalion of Patriots operating in Ukraine right now,” Col. Clemente explained. “Some of it’s being used to protect static sites and critical national infrastructure. Others are being moved around and doing some really, really historic things that I’ve haven’t seen in 22 years of being an air defender, and one of them is a SAMbush … they’re doing that with extremely mobile Patriot systems that were donated by the Germans, because the systems are all mounted on the trucks. So they’re moving around and they’re using these types of systems, bringing them close to the plot … and stretching the very, very edges of the kinematic capabilities of that system to engage the first A-50 C2 [command and control] system back in January.”

Fifteen crew members were reportedly killed aboard the A-50.

Col. Clemente also provided some other interesting details of how the Ukrainians worked up their capabilities with these particular systems, which included a period of validation training involving the U.S. Army in Poland in April 2023.

According to Col. Clemente, the German soldiers tasked with training the Ukrainians on the mobile Patriot systems woke up the Ukrainian battery in the middle of the night, marched them to a location where they fought a simulated air battle, and then made them march again. “I was like, ‘Huh, wonder why they did that?’ And it was a month later, they conducted some of their first ambushes where they’re shooting down Russian Su-27s along the Russian border.”

As we reported at the time, the use of Patriot to engage the radar plane over the Sea of Azov seemed likely, especially as it followed the pattern of an anti-access counter-air campaign that Ukraine was already waging against Russian military aircraft using the same air defense system.

Accordingly, in May 2023, Ukraine began pushing forward Patriot batteries to reach deep into Russian-controlled airspace. Most dramatically, a string of Russian aircraft was downed over Russian territory that borders northeastern Ukraine. Among them may have been the Su-27s (or perhaps another Flanker-variant aircraft) that Col. Clemente mentioned.

While the use of German-supplied weapons within Russian territory previously led to friction between Berlin and Kyiv, German officials more recently approved the use of Patriot to target aircraft in Russian airspace.

In December 2023, similar tactics were used against tactical jets flying over the northwestern Black Sea.

These kinds of highly mobile operations were then further proven with the destruction of the first A-50, on the night of January 14.

A Russian Il-22M radio-relay aircraft was also apparently engaged by Ukrainian air defenses the same night, confirmed by photo evidence of the aircraft after it had made it back to a Russian air base. It’s not clear whether the Patriot system was also responsible for inflicting damage on this aircraft, but it’s certainly a probable explanation.

Both incidents appear to have taken place in the western part of the Azov Sea and, as we discussed at the time, the distances involved suggested that, if Patriot was used, it was likely at the very limits of its engagement envelope.

Based on Col. Clemente’s account, it seems likely that the Patriot system in question was not only being pushed to the limits of its capabilities but was likely being deployed very far forward in an especially bold tactical move.

As we wrote at the time: “Considering risking a Patriot system or even a remote launcher right at the front is unlikely, and these airborne assets were likely orbiting at least some ways out over the water, this shot was more likely to have been around 100 miles, give or take a couple dozen miles.”

Of course, all this also depends on exactly where the targeted aircraft were at the time of the engagement.

Once again, the A-50 shootdown may be the most important single victory achieved so far by Ukrainian-operated Patriot systems, but it was part of a highly targeted campaign waged against the Russian Aerospace Forces which has seemingly included multiple long-range downings of tactical aircraft.

The Ukrainian tactics first found success in pushing back Russian airpower and degrading its ability to launch direct attacks and even those using standoff glide bombs, which have wreaked havoc on Ukrainian towns.

The same anti-access tactics extended to Russia’s small yet vital AEW&C fleet have arguably had an even greater effect. After all, these aircraft offer a unique look-down air picture that extends deep into Ukrainian-controlled territory. As well as spotting incoming cruise missile and drone attacks, and low-flying fighter sorties, they provide command and control and situational awareness for Russian fighters and air defense batteries. According to Ukrainian officials, the radar planes are also used to direct Russian cruise missile and drone strikes.

The importance of these force-multipliers has seen earlier efforts to disable them, with A-50s in Belarus having been targeted by forces allied with Ukraine.

The recent appearance of a photo showing a Ukrainian S-300PS (SA-10 Grumble) air defense system marked with an A-50 symbol also indicates that previous attempts were made to bring these aircraft down using this Soviet-era surface-to-air missile, too.

With all this in mind, it’s not surprising that Ukraine’s highly valued, long-reaching Patriot air defense system was tasked against the A-50.

In demonstrating the vulnerability of Russian aircraft patrolling over the Sea of Azov, the January 15 shootdown might have been expected to push these assets back. That may have happened, but another example was then shot down at an even greater distance from the front line, on February 23. The fact that the second A-50 came down over the Krasnodar region fueled speculation that it may have been a ‘friendly fire’ incident.

However, Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR), subsequently confirmed to TWZ that the second A-50 — as well as a Tu-22M3 Backfire bomber, in a separate incident — were brought down by the Soviet-era S-200 long-range surface-to-air missile system.

Undoubtedly, there are more details still to emerge about the shootdowns of the two A-50s, not to mention other engagements that the Ukrainian Patriot has been involved in.

However, Col. Rosanna Clemente’s comments confirm that the Ukrainian Air Force is using these critical systems in a sometimes-daring manner, using limited numbers of assets not only to protect key static infrastructure but also to maraud closer to the front lines and bring down high-profile Russian aerial targets. Not only does this force Russia to adapt its airpower tactics for its own survival, reducing its effectiveness, but it also provides another means for Ukraine to fight back against numerical odds that are stacked against it.

Not ded btw-

For @drill-teeth-art ! I appreciate their design of Rosanna, so I expanded a bit on it! Hope you don't mind 👉👈

I know. I know her alter ego Flip-Sides, was made as a JOKE. *cries about it* but goddammit I wanna share my headcanon about her okay??

I always thought of it more as a disfunctional personality chip, she never remembers switching to her Decepticon self and Blaster along with her fellow cassettes, tried to keep her under wraps. To keep it secret

Thankfully she never did anything super DAMNING as Flip-Sides, but it was still a problem conspiring to kill their carrier--

Ty for reading ♡

Luv u

[arlathen]

ohhhh i did not realize but your "friend who gets kidnapped" can also be elidor?? im playing lucy right now and the only differences are that she's on nates solo route rather than the LT and nobody found out about the supernatural. her stats are still v deduction heavy. so she should have vieno?? i wonder what determines this.

[wouldntyou-liketoknow]

So.

MatPat's latest video, huh?

It was interesting. Well-spoken. Genuine.

. . . I ' M N O T C R Y I N G Y O U ' R E C R Y I N G ! ! !

In all seriousness, I'm happy for him. What's he's doing is taking a very, very, VERY well-deserved rest. He's going to spend more quality time with Stephanie and Oliver. And that's an absolutely wonderful end to all of his accomplishments.

Matt will always be one of my top creators, but I'm excited to see what Tom, Santi, Amy, and Lee will bring to each of the channels.

And remember: Matt did say that he'd remain somewhere in the background, that he'd pop in on occasion. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't personally hopeful that he'll still be making appearances on other YouTube projects, mainly because of how much I love seeing the stuff he did with Mark and Rosanna. Still, whatever ends up happening, it's his life. As long as he and his family are happy and healthy, that's what matters.

Having said that, I'll still be writing for my fanmade EgoPats (which obviously means I'll keep working on Caliban and the rest of the fanegos that'll be involved with The Pentas Family/[The Future Mob Project].) They're just fictional characters, after all. I think they'll serve as a nice, unique way to help me remember all fun I had watching Matt gradually lose his mind ever since I discovered his content in middle school. (I know, I know. I'm not really obligated to include something like this, but it just feels right to clarify, okay?)

So, let's all agree to enjoy and support what's to come: the last bits of time/content that Matt is so extremely generous to give us. People always say to save the best of something for last, right?

[apricote]

hello vilna!! i'd like to ask u to please tell us about your rooks, i'm so curious!!

i'm 99% sure i won't play or get the game but if i did i'd probably go with a shadow dragon (city) elf or dwarf. or an elf (either dalish or city) veil jumper

cat........ you regret asking this, skdjfksl. thank you for being interested, ily. 🥹

ok, so i don't have fully developed rooks, like i haven't written them a proper backstory or anything, but i have:

rosanna. she's a nevarran mournwatcher and a necromancer. i would classify her as lawful neutral. very pragmatic, calculative and sarcastic, but also honest and doesn't pretend to be someone she's not! she's bitch and she knows it, lol. i like to develop my dragon age ocs through what decisions they would make in the other games and, for example she would side with the werewolves in dao, the templars in da2 and would become the divine in dai and would probably sacrifice the chargers and stuff like that. her traits in the sims 4 would be ambitious, hot headed and high maintenance lmao. i want her to romance emmrich because i think it would be a cool dynamic since they're both mournwatchers and possibly know each other before the game. also age differences <3

then i have susi. he's a dalish veil jumper, also a mage, and the opposite of rosanna. he's kind, friendly, charming and flirty, but makes a lot of self-deprecating jokes and has a low self esteem/worth deep down. makes decisions based on emotions and what he thinks is right, which isn't always the right choice. his the sims 4 traits would be loves the outdoors, outgoing and creative. he will romance lucanis, hehe <3

then!!! medea. she's an elf, antivan crow and a rogue. probably a duelist! i don't know a lot about her yet, other than that she will be taash's little sunshine <3

sorry for the essay and thank you for asking, i love talking about my ocs skdfj!
