Wade's undiagnosed adhd (switching between dual wielding swords, guns, and daggers) is only ever matched by Logan's undiagnosed autism (noticing weak spots in his opponents and going 100% momentum + force on his attacks)

Encounter: gun-slinging gorilla known as "The Wizard"

the thing that pisses me off about the sasuke retrieval arc is. there was no reason whatsoever for tenten not to be there. not in-universe and not from a meta perspective. it makes zero sense to leave her out and it makes shikamaru look like an idiot

Nancy and Lucas: My weapon of choice? Something long range for sure, I don’t want to be too close to danger

Steve and Max: Midrange is fine, something sharp too, a knife will work in a pinch.

Jonathan, El and Billy: My weapon of choice against Inter-dimensional beings and humans alike? Oh, I don’t know… these fuckin hands.

instant spd and instant 720 is actually hilarious, even if modern 'gief is unoptimal

Leun weapon asker anon here, I’m really curious now: How does Gryphon’s harpoon work?

It's the single most powerful weapon in the Mezian empire but it comes with a lot of conditions. It can swivel to fire in a wide arc but is most stable firing at about a 45 degree angle. For this one I've had to just be like "yeah it's magic" because well what can ya do. But essentially there's an inlet hose that connects to the fuel tank in the pelvis. Normally the fuel goes into the belly furnace, so for this there has to be a backflow from the furnace, through the fuel tank, and out to the cannon. Normally this backwards flow is lethal because it causes the entire tank to flash over, since the fuel is ignited in the furnace and not in the tank, and introducing a backflow of already-ignited fuel into the tank would be bad. But in this case it's desirable because the explosion is directed out through the cannon. It launches a barbed 100ft harpoon (as long as Gryfon is tall) at the target with extreme force, so much so that Gryfon requires a full repair cycle after every shot. And because the shot itself is a venting of all fuel on-board, he only gets one shot per hunt and once it's out there, he does not move, potentially for weeks.

Because of this it has to be planned carefully. The purpose of this shot is to tether a dragon in place so that it does not escape. It's like tying a thousand ton weight to a hot air balloon. The chain is actually winched in by hand - by the ground crews, usually, a couple of days after the initial shot. This is to give the ground crews and other beasts the requisite time to prepare a battle stage. The ground crews then pull the chain using horse teams. The dragon will have deflated slightly due to the spear (it contains air holes so that it doesn't plug the wound), but the effects of inertia and wind resistance can play havoc on the crews and often another beast has to grab the chain to get it going.

Missing the shot would consume weeks of valuable time, repair hours, and fuel, but it is rare to miss. Dragons are just so big. What takes actual care is not hitting one of the ichor wells inside the dragon, which would cause ichor fuel to start raining down on the battle stage. Part of the reason the harpoon is so long is so that the blunt end, which is heated red-hot by the explosive launch, doesn't penetrate the dragon and cause a mid-air flash over of the ichor within the dragon. We really don't want that to happen.

Most hunts are structured around delivering Gryfon to the scene and then guarding him for the duration of the battle. On the rare occasion he has to hit a target straight ahead of him he can do it, but the closer the object the more likely he is to miss. Lucky for Pantera.

knight!suguru with his shining armour and even kinder demeanour. gentleman of all gentlemen and respected. a little more than mysterious looking when he dawns his helmet and turns his back to you, but it isnt something anyone mentions.

he leaves a good first impression, yet, after longer conversation, he leaves most wondering and with the taste of something odd at the tips of their lips.

everyone will see the sword resting on his hip, comfortable and often using the hilt as a resting place for his hands. he rarely shows it off; but when he does, people gawk and gasp at the pure look of it. the thing is nearly innocent, perfectly made and maintained, it returns such a sparkling reflection that it would be hard to imagine the face of an enemy branded into the blade. but of course, that would be a ridiculous thought, knights never fought with their hands so it must be used.

but you would be wrong. because when you send yourself into the woods in hunt of some pillaging monster and find that you’ve been beaten to the chase, you’ll find him fighting with his hands: bare and fisted and bloodied. his sword will be unsheathed and your eyes will collide just as he punches through the monster’s chest and sends it flying.

there’s something so vulgar about it all, perhaps even a little scandalous. your knees almost feel like giving out once you see the monster doesnt get up after the blow. but your stomach truly drops when you see that the knight in bloodied armour is approaching you with a polite smile plastered on his face.

“You always were weak” but Vaggie was one of Adam’s top girls. She killed thousands of sinners.

Vaggie’s ultimate “flaw” that led to her ‘fall’ was her compassion - her “bleeding heart”. I wonder if she’d had doubts about the exterminations before that? If she’d even just been kinder to and stuck up for the angels, who in Lute’s eyes were less virtuous and undeserving. Weak, to the point that it lead to her undoing.
