[jet-teeth]

More funky dread - this is actually one of the first sketches I'd started with the idea, I might make more variations later In the meantime, please look at the style of mechanical joints of this dive suit it's INSANE:

[erinptah]

Drawing up a version of Team Moon Knight big enough that I can make "eight knights" puns.

Up front are the usual Steven, Marc, and Jake. (Giving Jake a suit influenced by the Marvel Rivals armor.)

Behind them: Commander Spector (in his Lemire-run spacesuit, though I'm always tempted to make him a Poe Dameron fictive), Moon Knight (it's just the empty suit), and Inner Child (obviously her costume goes full Sailor Moon).

Way in back, inspired by the Bendis run: The Captain (in the Cap!Marc suit from the Contest of Chaos one-shot), and Logan (in casual clothes).

[astrodances]

Della in armor! Della in armor! ⚔️

Throwing my sword into the stone for Knight Della (apparently before Cowboy Della kicks the saloon door in? too many puns??).

Gave her a touch of Spear of Selene spacesuit red, with inspiration from a very specific Legend of Korra background that I was paused on, and Sokka's space sword that I assume she found in Xadia after it was lost to fire and time. 😉☄️

There was a rush as the air was sucked out. Wels clung on as Jevin came closer. He wasn’t lined up perfectly. The flying machine was going to pass under the ship. Wels was going to have to reach down and pull Jevin up. He needed to get his attention. Wels pulled his bow from his inventory. This was going to be risky, but it’s not like there were better options. Wels notched an arrow, aimed, and let it soar, hoping he accounted for the lack of gravity properly.

first fic rec is a knight in spacesuit armor by avivakitty (aka @concorp)!

The Journeys Between

Season 8 is over, the world destroyed far beyond repair. What did the hermits each do in the time and space between?

This is somewhat of a continuation of my Wels fic, Knight in Spacesuit Armor, though verging away from headcanon territory into full on AU. It also has a much broader focus, so I decided on making it a separate work so the other fic could still stand on it's own. I would recommend reading it first as a prelude to this however.

This story is also a bit experimental with a gimmick I have wanted to give a proper go for years, so chapter length will be on the shorter side generally.

also on ao3

Chapters 1 & 2 below the cut.

Chapter 1: Tango The crew starts to get settled.

“Ug, I need to get out of this.” Tango complained. He started tugging at one of his boots, but tightly held on. Tango groaned and reluctantly started undoing the numerous straps to loosen it enough to pull off, then did the same for the other boot. He stood up and wiggled his toes in his socks. “Ahhh, that’s better. Feels like taking off ice skates.” Tango started undoing the straps on the torso and legs of his space suit as well.

“You do realize you’re getting soot everywhere.” Wels sighed. He was turned away from Tango, his captain’s chair in front facing position, but their eyes met through the mirror at the top of the windshield.

Tango looked around him. There was a trail of soot coming from the airlock to where he had been sitting, and in a whole area around him on the floor and wall. Including on the llama he had been leaning against for the past half hour. It didn’t seem to mind though. “That’s even more reason to get this. thing. off.” Tango struggled to wiggle out of the space suit. He decided against commenting on the fact it seemed he was dragged into the spaceship on the floor rather than carried, something he hadn’t noticed earlier.

“Belt.” Cub pointed out to him.

“Oh. Right.” Tango undid his belt and the space suit easily came off. He wore a dark red bodysuit underneath. It was all one piece, from the fabric around his head to his toes. Jevin let out a small snirk. “What! What else are you supposed to wear under a spacesuit? Ugh, Wels, got anything I can change in to?” Tango pulled the head of the suit back, letting it fall behind his back like a hood.

“Yeah, drawer left of the supply closet.”

“Thank you.” Tango walked over to the supply closet. The ship was quite small, consisting of only four rooms- the main cabin, where they all were, the small two layer supply closet, the top of which housed a micro farm just big enough to hold a couple plants, a bathroom barely larger than the closet, and the airlock, if that even counted as a room. Numerous cabinets were built into the walls of the cabin. Tango slid open the door of the compartment. “Are you kidding me?!” Tango pulled out a black bodysuit. It was lacking a head piece, as well as having holes for feet rather than built in socks, but it was still remarkably similar to what Tango was already wearing.

“What else do you think I wear under my armor?” Tango could hear the smile in Wels’s voice.

“Arrrrrgggggggg!” He growled, shoving Wels’ clothes back in the drawer and slamming it shut. Grumbling to himself, Tango gathered up the parts of his space suit from the floor. “You all suck.”

“Hey, I had no part in this.” Cub put his hands up in front of him. “It is kinda funny though.” Tango lowered his eyelids. “What? I don’t have any extra clothes on me.”

“Here.” Jevin wriggled out of his hoodie, revealing that he was wearing a white tank top underneath. He threw the hoodie at Tango, it landing over his head and covering his face.

Tango sucked in air through his teeth, holding back a snappy response. “…Thank you. Uh, hands kinda full at the moment.”

“I got ya.” Cub pulled the hoodie off Tango, who scouted out an empty cabinet to shove his soot covered spacesuit in to deal with later. He crammed it in and slid the door shut. Tango stood back, then looked around at the soot covered room once more, then down at himself. His arms and torso were now covered in soot from where it had come off the spacesuit when he was holding it. He tried to brush some of it off his arms, but it just smeared instead.

“I’ll… be right back.” Tango ducked into the bathroom, still trailing soot on the ground behind him.

The bathroom was tiny, only just enough room to stand between the wall and sink. Another step would put Tango standing half inside the shower. He took a small washcloth from a stack of them on the side of the sink and turned on the tap, getting part of it damp, and began to wipe the soot off his bodysuit. Through the thin interior walls of the ship he could hear the others chatting.

Cub has been examining the custom embroidered green J on Jevin’s hoodie. It was quite neat, but looked to be hand stitched. “You make this yourself?” Cub asked.

“Oh, actually uh, Evil X gave that one to me after… well you know.”

“Excuse me who ?” Wels interjected. Cub couldn’t help not laugh at the thought of Evil X hand embroidering a sorry I pushed you into a toxic pit apology gift.

“He’s not all bad you know.”

“He’s got evil in his name, Jev!”

“I’d say he’s reformable.” Cub shrugged. “Find something to put those deception skills to good use… Well, If he survived the moon.” Chapter 2: EvilXisuma A confrontation.

Evil Xisuma kicked open the door. “Xisuma!” He yelled with anger. Evil X was covered in soot and dust, his armor scratched up, visor cracked.

Xisuma, who had been pondering over a complex contraption, was quite surprised to see Evil X. “What are you doing here?” Xisuma moved to a defensive stance.

“You left me to die!”

“What!? What on earth are you talking about, you’re the one who left!”

“You could have warned me!”

“No I couldn’t have? I had absolutely no idea what was going to happen, Evil. Even if I did it’s not like you would have listened to me! You’ve been nothing but trouble since you returned.”

“What do you expect when you banished me to the void again! For no reason either the last time too!”

“You’re a ticking time bomb, Evil X, it was only a matter of time before you tried to destroy everything again and I wasn’t going to let that happen!”

“That’s a lie!” Evil X growled. “I was doing good and you know that! I was trying to become a better person and you still banned me! You don’t care and it clearly wasn’t worth my effort! All that work for nothing! Ugh!”

“You were brainwashing me!”

“So? It was the only way I was going to get you to do what I wanted!”

“Is that your idea of friendship? People doing whatever you want them to?”

“Uh… yes?”

“I don’t know what to say to you, Evil X. I truly don’t.” Xisuma shook his head in disappointment.

“You could start with apologizing.” Evil X crossed his arms.

“Apologize? For what?!”

“We just went over this! Banning me from Season 6! Making me have no choice but to go back to my evil ways!”

“You’re the one who should be apologizing! You have quite a lot of misplaced confidence marching in here demanding an apology from me. Get out of here, Evil X. Or I’ll make you leave.” Xisuma swiped open the Stoneblock world’s admin panel in the space in front of him.

“I don’t have anywhere to go back to X.”

“Well you better find somewhere, because I’m not allowing you to stay here.” Xisuma began to type.

“Fine.” Evil X turned around and stomped out, his fists clenched. He had never admitted to Xisuma that he lacked the ability to create worlds of his own, and wasn’t about to now. He’d find someone else to bother.

Evil X closed his eyes and opened them again to the rubble that was now the world of Season 8. On one side of him was a seemingly endless wasteland of a crater. On the other was the remains of the moon, a cliff soaring straight up into the clouds. He turned away from the moon and started walking. He had no idea where he was on the former continent, the ground all torched the same dark grey, the water in the seas and rivers evaporated from the heat. The sun began to set as he wandered, wondering who he might be able to convince to let him stay with them until the next season started. He sure as hell wasn’t going back to Hels. If it even still existed.

Evil X came across a steep decline downwards. Must be where an ocean used to be. Peering into the empty basin below, there was what looked to be a mangled and burnt, crashed satellite at the bottom. Curious, Evil X decided to slide down the slope to the former ocean floor and take a look around, it was the only structure recognizable as more than just ash he’d seen since he came back. As he ventured closer, he was surprised to hear the sound of someone calling out behind him.

“Hey! Up here!” Someone was on the shore above, where Evil X had just come from. The person waved at him. Evil X looked back briefly, then kept walking towards the satellite. Evil X knew from his voice which hermit it was and he frankly did not want to deal with him today. Or ever. He grit his teeth as he heard him gliding down behind him with his elytra, and the imperfect landing that followed. “Oh. It’s you.” Joe was disappointed when he realized who he was following.

“What!?” Evil X whipped around to face him. “Who would you rather find out here?”

“Oh, absolutely anyone else. Diamond Hooves, Fifi, the eldritch horror that lives under the Botem Hole, possibly Scar…“

Hi! Sorry to bother, but I couldn’t find a clear answer when trying to research. What were the Mandalorians role in the Clone Wars in Legends/EU? I know in TCW they were a neutral planet and largely pacifist (outside of Death Watch), but do we know anything about the Legends Mandalorians at that time? Thank you so much!

Hi there! You are not bothering me at all, I’m always here to talk about Mandalorians.

The Legends gives some clues about Mandalorians and their role in the Clone Wars, though I wouldn’t say sources provided the full perspective in a political-economic sense. Prequel Trilogy and tie-in materials retconned some already existing elements to fit with the general course of history but the Mandalore sector and Mandalore planetary politics wasn’t flashed out much. The overall idea was that [modern] Mandalore was ”a destitute homeworld historically marginalized by the Republic”.

The earliest information (albeit Mandalorians weren’t outright named) comes from The Empire Strikes Back novelization

A human bounty hunter, Fett was known for his extremely ruthless methods. He was dressed in a weapon-covered, armored spacesuit, the kind worn by a group of evil warriors defeated by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. [The Empire Strikes Back by D. Glut]

which indicated that Mandalorian warriors fought against Jedi / Republic. And frankly, this sentiment was repeated in most sources.

So we have Marvel’s Star Wars 68: The Search Begins that introduced Fenn Shysa, Tobbi Dala and Mandalorian Supercommandos / Protectors. From Shysa’s own words:

The three Mandalorians who survived were Fenn Shysa, Tobi Dala and… Boba Fett. The original version of Fenn Shysa’s backstory was retconned to fit with the new lore of Attack of the Clones and summed up in The History of Mandalorians by Abel G. Peña [Insider 80]. Here we learn that alleged Boba Fett was in fact a rogue clone known as Alpha-02/Spar, one of the Advanced Recon Commandos. He managed to run away from Kamino some years before Clone Wars and once Jango Fett died, took the mantle of Mandalore and led Mandalorian Supercommandos against Jedi:

or

Then we have Star Wars Republic comics series [issue 65: Show of Force] that mentions Mandalorians attacking New Holstice, the medical facility.

And Galaxy at War provided another informations like this:

and how Mandalorian Protectors were effective and dangerous during war:

or

Protectors were the biggest, organized group we were told about that joined CIS for ideological reasons and/or because of poverty of Mandalore. Republic Commando book series on another hand focused on individual Mandalorians while the planet of Mandalore was more or less neutral. The big difference between sources about Mandalorian Protectors and the Republic Commando’s characters is that the first had Death Watch reunited with other Mandalorian warriors to some degree, while the latter kinda ignored it completely, making DW the hated group by main heroes (the former trainers of Great Army of Republic known as Cuy'val Dar). Anyway, because of the civil war and massacre on Galidraan, part of Mandalorians was spread through the galaxy doing their own things. Some, like Ghez Hokan (supposed ex-Death Watchman [RC: Hard Contact]) worked as mercenaries and ultimately agreed to work for Separatist. In the case of Ghez, at first it was about money / work, later about personal dislike of Jedi & Republic for using Jango Fett’s clones. Some, like Kal Skirata or Walon Vau (ex-True Mandalorians, the mentioned Cuy'val Dar) who trained clone army on Kamino decided to support Republic out of loyalty to their trainees (clone commandos). And though they worked for the Republic, it did not stop them from stealing supplies from the army (Skirata and Nulls) or even robbing a bank (Vau) during one of republic military operations - their first and foremost motivation was to secure the well-being of their “boys” (clone troopers) and that desire expended soon to protect their growing “clan” by any means.

Like I said, there is little of proper informations about Mandalore and its status or politics during the Clone Wars era. It is hard to tell what a Mandalorian “civils” thought about the conflict or how it affected their daily life. We know that there were Mandalorian Protectors under Alpha-02/Spar and Fenn Shysa who joined CIS either because of hate for Jedi or ideology and Mandalorian individuals fighting on both sides - for money or as a mean to protect their family (including clone troopers).

Hope it answer your question! :)

Pronouns: she/her

Name: Angelica Moor Clockwork (probably a fake name, nobody gathered the courage to ask her)

Nickname(s): Gear (by Elin),

Age: 24-45 (mostly in this range. Whichever version shows up, really)

Occupation: history and time travel-magic teacher.

Sexuality: omnisexual

Species: human

Other information:

Angelica is more of a walking source of confusion than a walking mystery. She may show up in anything, from knight armor to a spacesuit to a combination of both with a ballgown on top, with only two questions: "what century is this and what am I teaching".

Her chaotic nature caused her to become friends with Elin, which is beneficial for her, seeing how she had to resurrected so many times she probably lost count. Resurrection comes with a price, and some part of her body is undead, a skeleton she can manipulate. Depending on what version of her shows up - a newer or an older one - it can either be one hand or most of her body. But despite all of her misadventures and misfortunes, she tries to keep her class safe and alive, and maybe even provide them with some knowledge.

GISH Week 2019 In Review

T'was The Day After #GISH (and mid-week baby granddaughter arrival!), and I'm SO SO TIRED and glad for the downtime... But dammit, I feel like I SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING! I think there's a term for this (and if not, I just invented it) - #GISHangover #ThankYouMisha

So, #GISH Week in Review: Making "chainmail" for Item #45: "Create an intricate medieval knight’s suit of armor entirely out of junk mail, with chain mail comprised of chain letters. Must include a junk mail shield, sword, and a codpiece (to protect your "junk").

... and the final result. Not as good as I was planning, but baby granddaughters abruptly arriving mid-#GISH-week cut down on armor-making time. However... DIG THAT "Cod"piece! (Chainmail from above can be seen around my neck)

While I was excited about the armor (which was very similar to an item I proposed), the item I'm happiest about was this - Item 42: "Get a tattoo of the encouraging message you wish your higher self had written to get you through the tough times." 

 "Never Surrender" in Enochian.

One of the first things I did - Item #147: "Get together with Gishers in your area at your local museum in the strangest, fanciest attire you can create—go so all-out, you make Billy Porter jealous." Attended the San Diego version sporting my finest Peacock Plumage...

I was excited about this one as well - last year, I misinterpreted a puzzle solve for Item #5, thinking I was supposed to make a Magic Eye picture (was actually a black light portrait). But this year, there was actually a Magic Eye Item (#63)! (Can you see it? Hint: "IT")

Some of the other things #GISH led me to do this week:

 - Solved a crossword puzzle where the clues were in T9 cipher code (#224) 

 - Visited the Intl. Friendship Park at the MEX/US border in San Diego (#166) 

 - Designing a #GISH patch for a spacesuit (#77)

But the most important thing that happened this week: our own little Team MotleyestCrew #GISHbaby Myka arrived! Most of the chainmail and the crossword puzzle solve were accomplished in the hospital awaiting her arrival and helping my daughter afterward.

So that's it - my #GISH2019. I & my Team accomplished A LOT & I'm super proud of it, and of them... and of the entire #GISH community. SO MUCH GOOD WAS DONE THIS WEEK, Y'ALL. And while I"m starting to feel the #GISHblues, but I know the cure - KEEP CREATING & SPREADING GOOD!

Squire Bodiokassus Gellidy

Pronouns: She/her

Appearance: Tall, broad Amethyst dragonborn with green eyes, carries a high-tech hammer and wears an armored spacesuit.

Gellidy is a monastic Meteor Knight from the Astral Sea, using her natural psionic powers to manipulate gravity, adding power to her swings or reducing her own weight. She's a stranger to the material realm, but has discovered a love of cities and street food and the companionship of her friends. Despite her aptitude in combat and graviturgy, her order (the Emerald Star) maintains that she isn't ready for a full knighthood.

Gellidy is a character I'm playing in my friend's D&D game while our main campaign is on pause. She's made friends with a guy called Beast and they share a single brain cell.
