[blighted-lights]

do you ship ravage and drift? you draw them a lot and they're always so touchy lol

nah. they're really touchy amicas, tho. probably because im always touchy with my friends and it just kinda rubs off on my art. ravage is my Me character so i do end up giving him traits i have. one of those is being touchy with people he cares about 🤷‍♂️. he's especially touchy with drift as when they were grouped together in the dead end (which is where they met in my brain), ravage spent a lot of hours curled up in drift's car alt with laserbeak and buzzsaw for shelter. that touchy aspect never really left their dynamic.

and besides,

drift/deadlock's candle has always been lit for someone else.

(plus an extra doodle of them)

✨️Gold Saints✨️ if they were to be ✨️Dungeons and Dragons✨️ characters

If you were wondering what I’ve been up to in the last few days, I was making this list based on my own headcanons. Mostly, I decided for what kind of class or subclass they could be. I don’t think I will add a race or a background for them because I am not up to date with the latest released manuals 😂 and these are just the official builds. If I had to look through the homebrew material I'd still be searching. Also, I used the classes of the fifth edition ^_^

Aries Mu

He’s an artificer (or if you are more familiar with the older name, he’s a tinker). There’s even an Armorer subclass, that let him have proficiency with heavy armours and so he can go in the middle of the battlefield without too many problems while still being a smith. When I say it’s perfect, I’m not even joking. Mu is possibly the easiest one to translate as a DnD character.

Taurus Aldebaran

Look, I would love to say paladin, but since he’s more on the pure physical strength rather that paladin stuffs, I’d assume for him a class like a fighter. I wouldn’t mind for him some sort of fighter + paladin multiclass where for the bigger part is a fighter. Maybe a Champion fighter + some levels of an Oath of Devotion paladin. Those subclasses are very basic, but they do the work. I cannot put his as a barbarian because well, I don’t think it would fit him (maybe the strength part, but only that).

Gemini Saga

He’s the dungeon master.

Okay, joke aside Saga is a bit more difficult. Visually, I think he’d be a paladin. Unlike others he has a good balance between physical strength and use of cosmos (both for attack and defence purposes). The subclass is a bit tricky, in the end it could be the Oath of the Watchers, since at least at the beginning, his wish was to protect Earth and then maybe he could later become an Oathbreaker? I’m partial to the Watcher since one of the spells for this class is Banishment and if it isn’t the poorer version of Another Dimension ability, I don’t know what it is.

Cancer Deathmask

He has the necromancer vibes without being a necromancer. In short, Oathbraker paladin: he can cast the ✨edgy✨ spells with ghosts and undead and it kind of makes sense that during the fight against Shiryu his cloth yeets off because of how bad he fucked up.

Leo Aiolia

Undecided between a normal fighter or a paladin. If he had an animal like Leo Kaiser in ND had those huge lions, he would be the ultimate ranger (subclass: Beast Master). But he doesn’t so… paladin. Maybe the subclass could be Oath of the Ancients, but I’m not sure.

Virgo Shaka

I’ve been thinking of where to put Shaka for almost two hours. My mind says monk, but my heart says wizard, but he must be a paladin somehow. Monk could be the perfect class for Shaka: you can easily see ki (the magical energy that empowers a monk attacks) as cosmos and the training/asceticism part would make sense for him. My only problem is that personally, I don’t see Shaka as someone that would resort to fighting bare hands against enemies (which is the core concept of the monk class). And mostly important, the monk class don’t have armour proficiency, which is the point of being a Gold Saint (neither does the wizard). As a wizard, I’d put him in the War Caster subclass, but being a wizard would make him a sort of cannon glass (wizard have the highest damage output, but at the same time the lowest number of hit points, aka life). Unless it is the Shaka from KotZ, then I could forgive a monk/wizard multiclass. As a paladin, I’m not even sure if he should be an Oath of Devotion. So, I will use the ace up my sleeve and say: Shaka is a cleric either with the Light Domain or the Order Domain, but I’m partial to the first one.

Libra Dohko

MONK. ASCENDANT DRAGON SUBCLASS. And if you feel silly enough, either a few levels of Paladin – Oath of Devotion or some levels as a Fighter - Battle Master .

Scorpio Milo

I am afraid that I have no clue of what Milo could be. My personal idea would be to make some sort of rogue, so I could imagine his scarlet needle to be a kind of sneak attack with a poisonous dagger. The subclass in this case would be either an Assassin or a Swashbuckler, to have the best implement of damage output. Maybe also a multiclass with a fighter (Champion subclass)?

Sagittarius Aiolos

He could be a paladin (Oath of the Crown?) with a feat like Crossbow Expert or a fighter with the Arcane Archer subclass. But because of his role as the Sagittarius Saint, I’m for the second option. Truth to be told, I wouldn’t mind a multiclass between those two.

Capricorn Shura

Another character that could be a paladin or a fighter BUT I say fighter AND the subclass must be Samurai, which is one of the best for striking powerful attack with a sword. No paladin class could do such things.

Aquarius Camus

Camus, like Aphrodite, has that kind of power that can be based on some sort of natural element, that would make me go “HE’S a DRUID!!!” if I didn’t know better. My main problem with druids is that they cannot wear or wield anything made of metal, therefore there would be no possibility for him to achieve a gold-saint-like kind of armour. As a paladin, Oath of the Ancients has a few spells that are ice-based, and I would implement that by giving him some levels in the sorcerer class (the subclass isn’t important for choosing those spells, but I’d like for him the Storm Sorcery subclass).

Pisces Aphrodite

Like Camus, he could be a druid, at least on paper. The ranger class has access to some druid spells, but I don’t know if it would match Aphrodite aesthetic completely. As a ranger, I’d go for a Fay Wanderer subclass and maybe a few paladin levels (Oath of the Crown subclass). He can have some levels a cleric (Nature Domain) as a treat.

I have never once opened procreate with the intention of turning a character into a horse but it just keeps happening somehow

[skogsdotter-draws]

Ok but, regarding TMAGP 27, I can't stop thinking about Jonah writing, after sending Archibald to a certain death, "It is done, and I am surprised to find how little remorse I feel." It reminds me of his statement in MAG 160:

"The discovery, not simply of the dark and horrible reality of the world in which you live, but that you would quite willingly doom that world and confine the billions in it to an eternity of terror and suffering, all to ensure your own happiness, to place yourself beyond pain and death and fear. (...) It is an awful thing to know about yourself."

I will never get tired of little details about his life being revealed (regardless of the timeline/dimension) because the parallel between his discovery of the supernatural world and the discovery of his own true self and the things he's capable of is so interesting and compelling to me.

Along with the knowledge of the horrors that exist in his world comes the horror of the realization that he might be capable of anything to stop feeling scared and vulnerable, to put himself over everybody else if necessary. Every time curiosity leads him into a new experiment, a new sacrifice in the name of knowledge, he lets go a little bit of himself and his morality. And then, as it happened with Archibald, and as it happened with Barnabas in another world, he feels surprised of how easy it was. Of how he doesn't feel regret or grief, how at most he finds himself thinking that it was all a pity. So it becomes even easier each time, he finds freedom in it, as he also mentions in MAG 160— and one sacrifice after another, it all becomes incredibly simple. There is no fear of losing himself, only the fear of death and pain remains, and only after that process of two hundreds years can one condemn the world for his own sake.

The progressive descent into evil of Jonah Magnus, slowly exposed through statements and letters, will never stop being one of the more interesting parts of this podcast imo.

Mammon... No...

Please don't do that to me! (╥╯д╰╥)

I know everyone needs and deserves alone time. But considering Mammon is usually hanging around us or at least always wants to be with us... hearing those words would seriously break my heart.

one thing i like about the new job is that public service really drives home how diverse and interesting any random sample of people actually is. you kind of can't keep thinking that there's one single way in which ordinary life typically goes when you're dropped into the middle of other people's lives on a daily basis. like within two weeks at a public service job in the most boring town imaginable someone will come in and be like hi i'm blind, can i have some adjustments for my advanced degree. hi my grandmother died, can i have an extension. hi i moved here from taiwan literally two months ago and misunderstood some instructions, can i repeat this process. hi i'm competing at the olympics, can i put my studies on hold.

there's just this certain kind of rhetoric that wants to make you belive that A Normal Person is this or that and their life goes this or that way, when really there's no limit to the chaos of human experience or to the endlessly new-shuffled variations of Circumstances and i'd defy anyone who believes otherwise to keep believing it after one day in public service

[ninihousebears3000]

Go rant about ur ocs love lives... NOW‼️‼️

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!

You just kicked down a damn!

The love lives of the House of Gloria members.

Soto Gloria x Walter C. Dornez

This old unassuming gardener and resident doctor(with unusual methods) actually had one interesting affair with a well-known butler. Yeah, he and Walter were a thing back in the day.

What year was it, Soto will never divulge any details.

Maybe Walter had visited South America multiple times before? And maybe there was a certain beautiful young man he met when he was at a restaurant? What started as sharing drinks to maybe a sleepover, maybe a summer fling?

Despite being alone for a lot of his young life Soto can't stand being alone. Walter found Soto to be a very peaceful man to be around. Like the world slows down when the two are together.

When Walter left Rio there was this light tugging feeling in his chest. What if he never returned to England?

Once summer ended Walter returned to England as his work was done in Rio. And Soto returned to college. They kept in contact by letters (Walter has his own PO box) often talking about their lives, well as much as they could share. It seemed only Soto expressed wanting to meet again.

The letters slowed down eventually with only Soto updating Walter on his travels around the world and how tired he is from school.

Years later Soto had been traveling Europe and just so happened to be staying in London.

Walter received a letter from Soto informing him he was in England on business. Walter sent back an itinerary of the best local spots.

Although Walter can't quite remember if the two met up in London he feels like they spent a few days together but he can't pinpoint any details.

At the same time, mysterious assassinations started to occur of high-ranking people from a rich secret society who were found with a poisonous plant sprouting from their bodies. This didn't catch Hellsing's full attention as there was no evidence of a vampire involved. Until a vampire randomly killed another member of this society but said vampire was left barely alive with the effects of the poison running its course but not killing it.

The last Walter remembers is when Soto left a letter stating that he was going back home to the States. And the assassinations seemingly stopped.

Madam Zoella A. Gloria x Soto Gloria

Let's just say being betrayed by loved ones may have affected the Madam's love life.

She tried having relationships but often felt she could never be truly open with her partner. Madam Gloria was fine with having an affair with a married person. She found comfort knowing it would amount to nothing. Until she found out that the married couple was just using the affair to try to drain her of her power via absorbing her soul. As if the past was repeating itself out of self-defense she pulled an uno reverse card.

After a while, Madam gave up on romance entirely, feeling as if no one would truly love her. At this point in time she was alone with no one friend.

Then she came across this beautiful man named Soto working at the flower shop. An acquaintance turned into a pleasant friendship it was nice taking things slowly. Although there was this nagging feeling that Soto wasn't just a simple plant enthusiast. But it felt nice pretending to be a normal human being.

Until she walked on him telling a plant to grow and it grew.

Some sorceress she is and she didn't notice anything. Ripping the band-aid off she revealed her magic to him and offered him a job as her assistant.

He accepted starting a pleasant work relationship.

Assassination attempts were strangely common for Madam Gloria. Soto offered to negotiate peace with their enemies across the seas in London.

That was the first time Madam Gloria called him 'my heart'.

Maybe their love isn't the healthiest? Maybe Madam expecting her lover to give her 200% 24/7 is a little unreasonable? And maybe Soto not hesitating to massacre an entire room of people that insulted his lover may not be very healthy or safe? But what's important is that they are happy.

Oh wait they got married.

Zo Gloria x Alucard

'Canonically' Zo doesn't really have any love interests.

That's not to say that she doesn't have a line of simps that find her intimidating.

But if she was to be shipped with Alucard I kinda picture them having a weird relationship.

Yes, it did start with Alucard bothering Zo. And her ruthlessly ignoring him.

She has a spell cast over her mind that prevents Alucard from reading it. It's one of the reasons why he found her intriguing—a mind he couldn't waltz into, how fascinating.

Zo hates to admit it but Alucard feels familiar?? She feels the urge to tell him to don't die again.

She doesn't know why she cares about him either.

Why does Alucard have dreams lying down on a damp green pasture watching the sun rise whenever Zo is in England?

Until Madam Gloria gives the word Zo has no desire to fight Alucard.

And Alucard is very curious about her powers and her true identity.

They both have sporadic conversations about philosophy while in battle or someone is walking on the ceiling during this discussion.

Alucard does try urging her to stop self-loathing feeling that she is 'innocent' compared to him.

The most intimate they get in their 'canon' is that they sleep together.

Harveen Saint x Seras Victoria

I do have it in 'canon' that they are besties but I mean who wouldn't want to give Seras a girlfriend?

Okay, and how could I not ship the students from different schools together?!!

Harveen and Seras both relate to each other in the sense that wow we chose this life but man there was a lot of fine print I am just now reading.

They also relate to having masters who are whack teachers.

Harveen: And then Zo said 'Are you going to slow me down again?' This was after I was stabbed twice!

Seras: So mean!

Seras: Alucard yelled at me and called me a coward after questioning him about massacring a human SWAT team!

Harveen: So out of pocket!

[chrliekclly]

Hi !! Just wondering, why do you type like that?? I don't mean this in a rude way at all btw I'm just rlly curious as to why u type stuff out without like Es and stuff sometimes cause it's rlly neat

fghskdfg i havnt ben askd that n a while iv tried to b bettr abt it tbh i feel like i dont do it AS much as i used to

my go-to answer is i dnt like how full of themselvs vowels r since they cost money n wheel of fortune

real reason is probs a mix of my longstanding hyperfixation on sunny nd lov of charlie's way of writing, my own dyslexia nd adhd, a kiss of autism, nd jst plain laziness

I like their vastly different thought process
