I know you haven’t posted Transformers in a while but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your Transformers content a lot. Both because your art is beautiful to look at and because you have seemingly pissed off at least a couple MTMTE fans and I find them Annoying, so seeing them mad is refreshing and makes you extra swag to me. I also appreciate you respecting Galvatron and Megatron as the loser men they are. Very nice work

thank you, that is very sweet <333 I respect the rights of goofy cartoon villains to be as funny and evil as they can be. I'm coincidentally in the middle of painting these two again

have I pissed off mtmte fans lmao?? 😭 funny if true

New Ordis dialogue in the drifter camp for all those Ordis enjoyers out there

[spotaus]

NewAge Idea I'm throwing into the void so I'll remember it lol.

Killer + Chara reunion (doesn't end well)!

Because after Chara leaves Killer alone early/pre-story they just kinda... disappears? I know they obv abandon Killer after he doesn't come back to them, they run off... but I don't think they have the guts to cross the border of Orchard. To escape. (The threat of the Whistlers finding them escaped still feels fresh.)

Not 100% what I want them to have been doing in the meantime?? They were initially a petty thief so I *could* see them continuing down that path. Either professional thief living on the edge, or stealing from the wrong person and getting pulled into debts with the black market. They did really enjoy pushing Killer around as a "pawn" so they'd make a good small ring leader. Or perhaps they find another line of mundane profession.

Regardless, the reunion would happen After Killer's major injury from Night's kidnapping and he's back out doing normal missions (though reduced slightly, because Night and Ccino are still cautious) and him and one of the others are just doing a hunt-down of some major criminal or answering a distress call. And it's completely unrelated that Killer and Chara are in the same place.

Part of me thinks (the bigger part) that Chara is the one to approach Killer. (Holding resentment for his "betrayal", holding moral high-ground over him for not serving the new God-King, Always thinking of him as lesser, even as he's riding a beautiful steed and obviously healthy and happy doing his job.) After his job has concluded, or even during it, they waltz up and call him by first name. And citizens tend to approach them to thank them, but no one says their names. Killer is confused, turns, and stares blankly at this human for a few seconds.

He... doesn't know this person? He doesn't recognize them, until they frown at him, and begin to say sonething like, 'Too good to talk to me now, partner?' And it clicks for him that. Oh. *Oh*. Chara. Their hair is a lot longer, they let it grow out, their red eyes are hidden by too-long messy bangs. They're a lot taller than they used to be, wear newer, better clothes. But that way their mouth twists and their eyes widen when they're upset is the exact same. And frankly, he doesn't know how to react.

Killer? Killer had been so completely loved and cherished and trusted by his new family? He had so completely built himself from the ground up since leaving Chara? The Killer they knew doesn't exist anymore. Chara hasn't occurred to him to even *think* to factor into this new life of his.

The old hurt burns for a moment. Seeing them here. Now. But... it putters out as he goes to talk. Saying their name alone. With a smile, and crescent eyes. It feels like the name of a stranger on his tongue as he stares at them.

However? Whatever other knight is with him? They *know* that name. From nights when they would get wasted in the kitchen and Killer, once or twice, would break into angry, regretful, tearful stories about this human. Chara. Someone from, not just his past, but from his childhood. Before he met Nightmare, before he met any of them. And they know that Killer used to be torn up about them. This human. It *has* been years since he's done it, bring them up, but still. (Cross has at least heard a bit of the ranting, though not as dramatically as Dust + Horror heard.)

It would depend on who was there how they'd react, of course.

Cross, curious and cautious, but fiercely protective of his family? Circles right around on his horse to also stare down Chara. Asks Killer who they are (though he kinda already knows). He gives the directive over to Killer to decide what reaction he wants from Cross. He lets Killer give him the signal to either stand down or raise his guard and prepare to back him. He's heard bits and pieces of the story, so if he gets the signal, he'll go for the throat if needed.

Horror misses the name, but he knows Killer's body language and he knows Killer rarely stops for conversations when he's riding Granite (double check this name later?). He usually dismounts because it makes him seem more personable and he likes the close-proximity (makes him feel confident). So Killer staying on horseback shows him that sonething's different. He rounds Basalt in a large arc that goes unnoticed by Chara so he's behind them by a distance. In Killer's line of sight. Killer won't interfere unless he sees Killer in distress, but a few seconds in he realizes this is that human kid Killer was so torn up about. Who made him feel like shit. He has a feeling Killer won't forgive and forget.

Dust... well, Dust is his closest friend, his closest brother, Dust knows Killer like the back of his hand. When he hears Chara speak and call Killer 'partner' he knows exactly who they are. Him and Opal are beside Killer and Granite in half a second. He doesn't say anything, unlike Cross, but he watches. He is stock-still and stares at Chara like they're a bug. His storm is brewing, swirling, tye lightning *begging* to fry this human into the ground. The only thing holding him back is that Killer hasn't made any moves. He knows how important it is for Killer to confront this loser human on his own terms, he trusts Killer is better and has grown so far past this little worm, *but* if he sees any sign of Killer's discomfort? Dust will fry first ask questions later and drag their half-dead body back to the castle and lock them in the dungeon himself.

And I think that no matter who is there, having one of his brothers beside him makes him even more assured that he's grown. He's grown beyond the Killer who followed Chara's every word and always came running back. He's beyond Chara.

Best case, he listens to them attempt to berate him. Scorn him for leaving them to fend for themselves and bending to the first person who made him kneel to them. Cursing him for giving up his life of freedom to serve the same family who wanted him to kill. Them to be killed. And look at what he ended up doing, Killing just as they wanted him to back at [the temple, which I will finally name]. He just listens until they run out of breath, and they take deep frustrated gasps still just like they did when they were kids, and then he grins. It is a tight grin, not the one seen by his friends, the one his enemies see as he's about to gut them personally. Because everything they berated him for? He's been over it. A billion times in his head, worrying and worrying that it was just another situation where he was being manipulated. But his family, when he expressed worry? They helped him. Proved through word and action that he wasn't just a pawn or killing machine. They made him stop worrying over that years ago. And hearing it from Chara, his past manipulator? Yeah, it proves yet again that it was nothing but fear. Ridiculous.

My tired brain says he grins at them for a bit, before laughing and saying it was bold of them to speak their mind like that straight in front of two Knights of the King Nightmare. Just because they used to be friends, it doesn't mean they get a free pass.

That reaction, no fear and an easygoing attitude? Passes Chara off even more. They'd fearlessly try and recount the old days.

Whichhhh would reveal some really shady crimes. And statute of limitation doesn't exist yet lmao. Killer would have every right to lean down and cuff/arrest Chara. They'd try and point out he did those crimes with them, and Killer would just be like 'One of us got a pardon and the other hasn't. :)' And then assure them he'll have the King personally meet them to discuss their crimes.

Okay I'm stopping that line of thought there.

But upon Night hearing Chara is down in his dungeon? He doesn't keep many criminals at all anymore, it's actually mostly still just Dream, Ink, and Blue atm. He wants to see Chara for himself. See who hurt Killer so badly in the past and to hear what motives them to do so. He knows a little from Killer. That they came from Whistling, that Nim was to have them sacrificed (*in her honor, she wasn't directly aware of every temple), and that they used him as a tool rather than a friend. Killer came to him lost and unsure of himself.

*plus* it seems Killer really has healed in his time separated from Chara. Enough-so that he doesn't even want to bother with Chara's fate. They didn't care for him, and they were never friends. Just two kids trying to survive in a kingdom which wanted them dead. They both did stupid shit and they've both grown up since they last spoke. He wants to treat it as any other case.

So Night (joined by Horror because Humans are usually physical combatants if anything goes wrong) does his usual shpeal about asking his questions and letting the prisoner ask their own or talk and rant. They go over it for a long time. Chara feels empowered by Nightmare's small stature, and so they spill more of their true nature. Nightmare? Nightmare decides to banish them from Orchard. If they're spotted within borders they were to be executed on the spot. Just like spies and other criminals who have yet to directly harm anyone.

....The fact that he has no doubt they'll return anyways and fall into the hands of a city guard who will handle them like the petty criminal they are? Well, that has nothing to do with the ruling.

Ok, since you opened it up to AU requests from other fandoms, and since you've been TGE-posting the last two days . . . I would LOVE to see a snippet of Maia and co. (any "and co" will do, but my first choice is Csethiro or Beshelar and Cala) in a SW AU. (Also do not feel pressured to do this. I recognize it is kind of borderline on the list of what prompts you're looking for. I'm just. I think it sounds fun.)

OH MY GOSH friend. I was literally JUST thinking about this idea. Like yesterday. This is more a set up for the au than anything else but enjoy it all the same, there is a good chance I snap and write an addition later on:

When Emperor Palpatine died suddenly (from what, it was still unknown. A failure of the heart in his sleep, poison, assassination from enemies both close at hand or mysterious were all explored and summarily rejected), the Senate went into an uproar trying to determine his heir. The Empire had only been a true Empire for fifteen years—the succession rules were unclear, to say the least. There were those who campaigned for a political replacement, for a new election.

But those closest to Emperor Palpatine claimed to know his will. That his rule would be passed on to his closest kin, his half nephew. There was much murmuring over who this half nephew was. They knew of the half brother—a proud man who, unlike his fellow Nabooans, put no stock in the beauty of art and craftsmanship, but seemed to relish the art of war and profit.

However, Varenechibel (for so he was called) had died in a ship crash earlier that year, along with his three eldest sons. The fourth remained—a half human boy of eighteen, who had been raised by a distant cousin on an Outer Rim planet, safely out of the way.

He was out of the way no longer, and rumors flew thick and fast about this Maia Drazhar—whether he would be a ruler like his uncle, if the stories of his mother were true, calling the boy himself an inbred fool who would run their Empire into the ground. Very few had any faith in him, and most hoped that Mas Amedda, the Emperor’s Grand Vizier, would steer him in the right direction.

Some, like Senator Organa or Senator Berenar, seemed to hold out hope. Though when the boy himself finally appeared—tall and awkward and dark-skinned, accompanied by his scowling guardian and an elegant looking Twi’lek man who was as pale as the new Emperor was dark—hope did seem to flicker out. It would seem, it was remarked, that Mas Amedda had his puppet after all.

This all changed a month into the new Emperor’s—who, in Naboo fashion, had chosen a ruling name of Edrehasivar—rule, during which he hired two bodyguards of decidedly non-human descent, politely ignored Mas Amedda’s every suggestion, and began quietly ruling in a way that would have made Palpatine’s heart, should he have possessed one, quail with rage and horror.

The general Senate was up in arms, Bail Organa found himself positively delighted, and a young Umbaran woman, whose family was currently in negotiations of a personal sort with the Emperor, was revising her opinions rather rapidly. Csethiro Ceredin hadn’t expected much of Emperor Edrehasivar. What she had expected had been disproved, and she found she would be very interested to see what came of the Emperor’s rule.

She was far from the only one.

Also when sep restarts his apprenticeship is he like. Okay so you rlly did cut out a lot of stuff huh. Wtf were u going to if I finished the apprenticeship. And marcia's like idk I didn't think that far ahead. Or like. What happens andjdndjfn I need More

quick context because this has been in my inbox for at least two years but this is about the apprenticeship arrangement in rewrite au (at least I am like 95 percent sure it is).

if Septimus had actually finished the apprenticeship, he wouldn’t have been able to take over as extraordinary wizard because of how she modified it to be age appropriate and because he went into it with little to no experience with or knowledge of magyk (in rewrite au, the extraordinary apprenticeship is more of an elite position; if the purpose is to train potential extraordinary wizards, then only apprentices who are top of their magyk classes or programs are considered). Marcia was never going to have him take over so young, but without the proper training, he couldn’t have taken over ever. so since she didn’t have a plan and never thought that far ahead anyway, and because the arrangement was always about his day to day functioning, she really was just figuring it out as she went (with no help from Silas or Sarah, but only because Marcia is the extraordinary wizard; the apprenticeship hiding the fact that she is his legal guardian is hers to figure out as far as they are concerned).

the hardest part, since she did want him to take over eventually, would have been keeping the arrangement a secret and finding how to prepare him in a way that qualified him without him realizing what was really going on. she would have pushed him to higher education, would have found ways to introduce new books and extra lessons and spells in a way that didn’t clue him in that she was teaching him the way he should have always been taught. anything, so that when she was ready and he expressed interest in replacing her, it could happen. but because he doesn’t have the easiest apprenticeship even modified as it is, none of this happens. it all falls apart because it wasn’t sustainable, but also because he wasn’t ready and neither was she (which she did warn Silas and Sarah about).

she tells him this, after the first three months of his restarted apprenticeship, but only when he asks. because he knew, after they finally talked about it when it all fell apart that the actual apprenticeship was different, but he hadn’t realized just how much. he’s taking magyk classes because Marcia warned him she wasn’t going to bridge his gap in knowledge. he would be more than prepared for some of it, but nowhere near ready for a lot of it. if he was serious about recommitting to the extraordinary apprenticeship then the extraordinary apprenticeship was what he was getting, nothing less, and he needs do the work he missed on his own. Marcia is also Marcia, so she pushes him harder and expects more of him than other extraordinary wizards might have expected of their apprentices if they were in this situation. his first three months are very difficult as a result and he starts realizing that being the extraordinary wizard is a lot harder than it looks, that the work required to get to that position is harder than he thought, and he’s like, oh my god, Marcia, were you going to throw me into that without any of this?

telling him the second part of it, that she still wouldn’t have told him about the arrangement had he finished his original apprenticeship, is almost as hard as it would have been to cover it up. he really does not like hearing that Marcia still would have lied by omission and kept it from him. he thinks that he would have deserved to know, had he not found out by accident when it fell apart.

Marcia ends the conversation there though, to his frustration, because there’s no point in talking about what would have been. he knows now. he’s doing the apprenticeship now, the right way. they’ve already discussed the arrangement, at length. they don’t need to discuss it any further.

except they do, because they resolved it without resolving it. if Marcia kept this from him, if she would have continued to keep this from him, what else must she be keeping from him? he never fully trusts her again.

I'm alive (theoretically)! I'm almost ready to start putting things up on the armor gallery <- view in a desktop browser for best results pls

the consensus from this post seems to be to keep the sky portion which is fine with me, but last call if you want to make your opinion known! next question:

ok it's not super obvious when the pics are tumblr-sized, but any thoughts on if should I have the shield overlay not visible (left) or visible (right) on the shield-weaver? or both since there will be two images? no overlay with no headgear/visible with headgear maybe?

also I'd still love to find someone knowledgeable in current CSS/javascript/tumblr theme making (my CSS is many years out of date, I don't know js, and while I'm sure I could make a theme I simply don't have the spare brainpower to do it right now). the dropdown menus work on desktop but are iffy at best on mobile, and while I tried to make the theme* responsive to screen size changes, I'm sure it could be done better.

From what I understand of javascript (admittedly very little), a js dropdown menu would work much better on touchscreens - but if there's some sophisticated CSS that would also do the job I'd love to hear about it!

so if anyone wants to help me out in this area, I (and probably anyone who uses the armor gallery) would greatly appreciate it 🙏

*the theme I modified is like... ancient... and doesn't support NPF. which is not exactly a problem because before the old post editor went the way of the dinosaurs, I created *checks blog* 316 drafts in the old format. lol. lmao, even. I may not be good at planning but I AM good at hoarding! still, a theme that's up to current tumblr (and HTML/CSS) standards would be nice.

[floq]

the last of these character design assignments I had to do this semester.

This character is based on the Chilean legend el Tué-Tué (also known as el Chon-Chon) and the tales of warlocks and witches from the Chiloé island.

more info and translation under de cut

El Tué-Tué is a famous figure around the Chilean countryside, local folklore describes it as a malevolent warlock with the ability to turn into a bird that brings bad luck to wherever it’s spotted, commonly considered a bad omen. The name “Tué-Tué” derives from the supposedly gut wrenching screech this cursed bird produces. El Tué-Tué is commonly described as the disembodied head of an old man with the wings of a bird.

TRANSLATION OF NOTES IN FIRST IMAGE:

Name: Eustaquio del Carmen Urrutia

Age: 81 y/o

Gender: masculine (he/him)

Species: Human (owl as a bird)

General Info: Don Eustaquio is an old warlock with dementia native to the town of Quicaví in Chiloé. He comes from a long bloodline of warlocks, his family has practiced the craftsmanship of witchcraft for generations (since the time of La Recta Provincia), being its lineage most characteristic ability their capability of transforming into different kinds of birds at will. Due to his dementia, his magic and spells tend to malfunction, leading to him not being capable of fully tapping into his bird form, instead he takes the form of a disembodied head with bird wings.

His bird form is a Concón, a Chilean owl that can be found in Chiloé and other places around the country.

Anyway, this was such a fun assignment, it let me develop some concepts i’ve been working on for a while now and finally put them on paper, it allowed me to expand on the word building of my own personal project. i hope that with this i can show chilean culture and folklore to wider audiences so they can learn about how diverse latin america actually is :]
