The last supper

How we feeling about the finale? (IM CRYING)

[aussie-cipher]

[WILHELM is back! and they've appeared to have brought...well, more people than they originally planned, but. hey. it was PYRONICAs idea to call teeth, 8ball and hectorgon]

[also, @terry-the-anon is here too.]

[WILHELM waits just outside, tapping the barrier once before wincing. yeah. don't know what they expected]

[ @ivxliwh ]

[An alarm sounds within the theraprism. Lights flicker off, but the loud sound of the alarm is muffled, as there are no external speakers on the place. SAUL still comes to greet them regardless, but he appears to be quite unnerved.]

[Still, he creates a gap in the barrier, this one bigger than the last one.]

I recently watched the Guard and my god, Brendan Gleeson is so fucking hot in it. Daddy can use and abuse me anytime he wants.

You know my opinion on Eugene being captain, but what are your thoughts on how the guards are portrayed; specifically, as the "bumbling idiots" you said earlier? Do you think it works, or would you have written them differently?

I'd have written them differently. On the whole, the movie portrays the guards as extremely competent. Eugene is particularly skilled at giving them the slip, and that's a character trait of his, not theirs.

And I'd have included Conli in the series.

Part 1

tw: blood, a bit scary/disturbing image, gunshots wounds

Note: The Guard is not that scary (I think), you just see his eyes through the mask—

The Guardian

The Guardian, a variation on one of my ocs, The Guard

he's been turned semi-eldritch because he went to rubicon with his lover, the Saint

and now he's like this!!! he has all the same powers a Guardian has, in addition to just. Being really freaking tough!!

here's him giving my friend @dramaticuser and @pookapufferfish's ocs!! a bit to just show him Big

ajsdflaksfj

he can turn more of his body into the bitties too, usually for wacky combat reasons

[acourtofquestions]

“ Enemy. Lover.

Queen. ”

— When I first read this quote THIS stood out to me (in my current first reading analysis) —

The order of Chaol saying “lover” SECOND to enemy implies that she is NOT the enemy anymore… it also foreshadows that she will not become “lover” again (instead “queen”) it’s the past, present, & future for them & his character view.

[there is a man in a trench coat wandering around, almost bored, and twirling—]

[...is that sauls fucking shoe.]

[OH ITS THE GUY THAT TOOK HIS WALLET—]

[ @adacomputer13 ]

Hey, you! That's my shoe!

[he doesn't sound angry, moreso just surprised]

[companion-chronicler]

[You feel four eyes peering at you from behind a tree. Growling arising from the said area where the stare was coming from] @settinggeneral

"Is that a new companion?"

"Do they usually...growl?

"Uh, hang on. Companion description...something with four eyes that growls, I guess? Can we help you with anything?"

I finally made it... This is what I cooked and it's angst .[TW: Sibling Abuse?]

The Observer 'comforting' The Guard after the incident...

Is Sarge. Sargent in possession of a pair of idiots who are orange and maroon respectively?

Sarge is in possession of four idiots and five sort-of-idiots.

The Guard's Idiots consist of:

Nubby: Squad's Quartmaster and complete cretin. Hobbies include petty theft and pathological lying.

Cutter: Squad's Melee Specialist and berzerker. A woman whose philosophy of modern day tactics consists of screaming bloody murder and charging the enemy with your great sword.

Twitch: Demolitions Expert and paranoid madman. Has a particularly strong hate for demons and will often greet new people by accusing them of being possessed.

Tink: Squad Techie and closeted technophile. Her sheer brilliance with gadgets is only matched by her big mouth and colossal spending debt.

The sort-of-idiots and the rest of the squad's roster are as followed:

Doc: Field Medic and neurotic whiner. Couldn't look a beautiful woman in the eye to save his life.

Aimy: Markswoman with anger management issues. Possesses a short fuse for bullshit and tends to handle all forms of bullshit the same way, violence.

Heavy: Seven foot tall heavy weapons expert and all around lazy bastard. Has perfected the art of napping to the point of being able to literally sleep with his eyes open.

Crisp: Flamethrower Specialist and squad chef. His friendly demeanor is often overshadowed by his unsettling aura of death and unsettling sense of humor.

Rookie: Youngest member and squad errand boy. Doesn't know how to say no to anyone, but is happy to help with whatever tasks.
