Mancatcher / Butterfly 🦋

Arcie's always going to be one of my favorite OCs I fear😌

I wanted to use some different weapons in Mirac (Arcie's world), and my brother helped me find one that suits her, the Mancatcher.

I had no idea it was a thing, but yeah, you definitely don't want to get on the end of that😅 (or on her bad side)

Obviously she wouldn't be doing any fighting in that kind of outfit, but I feel like this drawing sums up Arcie pretty well, because she can be very almost princess-y, but extremely tough at the same time. I wanted the contrast of the delicate / pretty outfit with the huge weapon and combat boots

She's strong and feminine, and this is why I love her <3 I'm also really looking forward to writing the dynamic between her and Katja

This one took a while because of the horrors, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out ^-^

(And I like having the chance to gush about Arcie)

ok so i finally finished Psych's staff, its supposed to be a mix of aym and baal's staff, and i hope yall can see some of the influence from it! the 1st image is the official one, while the other images are different designs i made along the way and possible color pallets. It serves as a normal magic staff along with practical use as a man catcher to keep enemies at bay and a spike for some sneaky pokes

[victusinveritas]

Agreed. I feel like a shield could at least be strapped to your back and hidden under a cloak or something (I think cloaks are going to make a big comeback as they really help obscure silhouettes and make identification more difficult on video cameras, because yeah you're in a cloak but you're also in a cloak and so, as the saying goes, cloaked). The thing I'm debating now is what size of shield to get. Personally (I'm out of shape but it was a former habit), I'm in favor of a smaller circular shield (larger than a buckler), but Roman style or pavises might be better in crowd settings.

whumper using a catch pole to catch, restrain, and manhandle whumpee

still slipping the loop over their head despite their struggling. they’re jerked to a stop, the wire cinching tight around their throat. the more they thrash the tighter it becomes, they choke and gag

eventually they have to allow themselves to be lead like a rabid animal, if they don’t want to suffocate

on the rocks

clunk! the ratchet-shut of the mancatcher deafens your ears as you fall, tender and oft-broken, nose-first into the rooftop tiles, "ow! the hell is your problem marie."

"come on, chrissa," she teased. "biggest gem in paris goes missing the same week you're in town?"

"and i told you i had nothing to do with it," you exclaim. the cold, condensation-dripped slate wetting your red and puffed-out cheeks. "you're always like this, you-- y-you..." the evening's sudden tears slip into the afternoon's forgotten rain.

"woah now. hey hey hey," marie tries to reassure. "i-i just thought even if it wasn't we could still--"

"no. no, marie. you didn't think. i'm not..."

the drifting zeppelinettes above smother your cries in smog-choked rotor rattle, cut into as marie clatters slowly across the roof. "if..." she begins to ask, "if i undo the catch, you won't run away?"

"no!" you sob. "and it's exactly that which is my problem. you just assume the worst of me. no i'm not gonna run away, and i wouldn't if you stopped chasing me."

"i-i, i'm sorry." ca-clink goes the loosened collar, and you barely have the will to pull away from it. she sinks down down next to you on the tiles, and tries to speak--

"i told you the truth over drinks back at the bar," you cut in, "and i've told you the truth about how many other thieves and ratted them out, and i'm telling you the truth now -- and you never believe me."

"you don't rat out all the thieves i ask about."

"marie! this is... because they're just friends, trying to get by. i'll tell you about assholes but everyone else -- like me -- we're trying to do better. you never--"

you're not sure when you ended up in her arms, only noticing now when she pulls the knotted scarf from her neck and wraps it around your frozen face.

"--you never see me like that. it's only ever when i'm doing something wrong. and i can't have you looking at me like that tonight."

"do..." she almost doesn't continue, "do you wanna go to a safehouse, babe?"

...

"yeah," you answer, into her chest.

"yours o-or one of mine?"

"yours, it's closer," you say and know she'll be triangulating where your current spot is because of that. "i think you messed up my bad knee, so you're carrying me."

This one is learning

And...

She's loving.

Her heart is alive and... it is beautiful

But she's a little scared

Sally, how does a monster love?

That part of me hasn't yet met the love in my heart... I don't know what will happen when they do.

Viciously. ferociously.

a monster kills and bites and rips and MAULS its wut we r. we cant help wantin 2 SLAUGHTER. we can control ourselvs sure but the thats always in us. violence made flesh.

but we can love by aiming ourselvs. we love by holdin back wen we need 2 and biting and MAULING the rite things. anythin that tries 2 hurt the 1s we love. the peopl what shouldn't get hurt.

wen i uh... lost Mancatcher Squad... i fought like a rabid animal. i tore and mauled ans KILLED AND KILLED 2 try 2 keep my friends alive. it didn't work. and I was so ANGRY. so I KILLED AND KILLED AND KILLED AND BIT AND RIPPED until every1 that hurt them were ded. it was all i could do 2 keep loving them. it reely hurt. still does. but... idk were im goin with this anymor.

peopl say violence is bad and liek ye itd be a better world without everybody killing each other all the tiem but...

The Crit Awards 2024

I just learned about these today! I'm eligible for some homebrew awards. It'd be nice to be nominated for Best Homebrew and Best Supplement, and I have a few things that could qualify (more on that later).

More than my own nominations, however, I just really want people to look at the categories and just think about who you could nominate. Everyone only gets 1 nomination per category and there are restrictions on what's eligible (public work, not big company like crit role or dropout, no AI, shared between last jan and this feb, etc.). And I know there's a lot of good categories and candidates for them.

You can find the categories for this years awards here: Crit Awards Categories.

Please, if you see a category and think of an eligible contender fill out the nomination form. It's pretty quick and you can skip categories you can't think of anyone for.

(personally I like Crest Saga for the Indie TTRPG and multiplayer TTRG categories, but don't tell anyone I said that)

My own eligibility below the cut.

As for my own works in the homebrew categories, the following are eligible:

Re:Alignment (for homebrew supplement/3rd party content)

Routine Passives (for homebrew supplement/3rd party content)

Psionics: Spellcasting & Specialties (This one could honestly go either way, it has subclasses, spells, and variant feature rules. It's an all in one supplement. This is the one I'd prefer to be nominated in this category or both.)

Grimdark Puzzles (for supplement, sadly Grimdark & Dangerous itself is not eligible)

Druid: Circle of the Glade (for supplement, technically?)

Encounter With: The Pale Widow (for monster)

Figher: Blade Drifter (for supplement)

Sorcerer: Vampiric Bloodline (for supplement)

Barbarian: Path of Possession (For supplement)

Druid: Circle of Bones (for supplement)

Artificer: Necrocrafter (for supplement)

Bard: College of Partying (for supplement)

Mancatcher (for best homebrew spell, monster, or item)

Restless Hunger (for homebrew spell, monster, or item)

Wax Wings (for homebrew spell, monster, or item)

Suspender of Disbelief (for homebrew spell, monster, or item—this is the standalone item I am most proud of if I'm being honest)

There is more, but it's more niche and behind a minimal paywall (granted some of the above is also behind a paywall). You can find these by following this link and sorting by date.

[tabloidsores]

you dont see mancatcher poles as much these days

[guthrieartwork]

Some sketches from session one of our dnd game! We started out with a combat where bandits attacked while camping in the forest. Stefan snuck up on one and kicked him off a ledge to his death then juggernauted through 3 more guys despite them trying to wrangle him in a mancatcher. Villiam got a pretty insane crit dagger plunging attack on a fleeing enemy. We ended the session joining up with a caravan as a pack of something dangerous from the forest seems to be stalking everyone. Really excited to play again soon!

Infernal Bestiary: The Stygian Contubernia

The Stygian Contubernia are the unlucky squads of devils assigned to dredge newly-arrived souls from the banks of the Styx in Avernas, and send them on their less-than-merry way along the Pale Roads to the great city of Dis. Stygian Contubernia normally contain eight devils (eight is deemed an unlucky number, insofar as devils believe in luck), reflecting their status as failures within the infernal hierarchy. Alongside this, Stygian Contubernia often make use of constructs such as Shackle Visages.

Furthermore, life on the banks of the Styx is far from easy, as frequent attacks from Acherai Reivers, attacks from wild Vhermas Devils and the many other beasts that prowl the Styx mean mortality rates are exceedingly high. Alongside this, whilst the Styx flows relatively sluggishly in Pandorum, it can still rapidly strip away the body and soul of a being immersed in it, meaning that many say that the devils within Stygian Contubernia often go mad. However, the Contubernia do offer one benefit to devils, as they afford their members far more individuality and personality than most infernal cohorts, at the cost of the fact that few devils ever are promoted out of their Contubernia once they join them.

Therefore, demotion to a Stygian Contubernium is regarded as the effective end of a devil’s career, and most devil's treat the members of such units with a mixture of fear and scorn. Listed below are the five devil types found within a Stygian Contubernium, alongside the constructs often found alongside them.

Kalvereen

Kalvereen are the guardians and overseers of the Styx itself, and appear as fishlike devils wearing pointed, almost featureless masks and wielding vicious, glowing mancatchers enchanted to entrance and ensnare the Pretas that emerge from the planar waterway. For this reason, Kalvereen are virtually exclusively found on Avernas, but do occasionally find employment as bodyguards and soulwarpers in lower layers. They tend to be treated as alien by other devils, as their time in the Styx has made almost every Kalvereen adopt its own strange idiosyncrasies and habits that most devils in the lower layers would baulk at for their unorganised nature. Kalvereens are the leaders of Stygian Contubernia, and generally serve as their representatives when dealing with other devils. They are remarkably powerful, capable of shepherding and controlling even large groups of Preta at once, and stunning or confusing other foes with an array of illusions and light-based spells.

Ixiniels

Although more commonly found serving as infernal scribes and accountants in other layers, disgraced Ixiniels often find their way to Stygian Contubernia, where they brand newly-emerged Pretas with a serial number that they will retain for the remainder of their time as a devil, and keep count of the souls secured by the Contubernium. They appear as humanoids wearing somewhat ragged brown robes and wide-brimmed hats. Their most distinctive feature is their faces, which are nothing more than bloody cavities within their heads, within which has been jammed several metal rods and beads, forming a strange abacus. Most contubernia contain two Ixiniels, one scribe to record the pretas captured, and one carrying the vast brand-staff they use to mark the unfortunate souls. However, in war-torn regions one Ixiniel may do both tasks, with their eighth spot in the unit taken up by a Varazu or similar militant devil.

Varazu

Varazus tend to form the basic fighters and workers of a contubernium. They appear as scaly, muscular humanoids dressed in light armour, and tend to sport curving horns alongside sharp scales where a beard might be on a person. Whilst in their usual regiments Varazu are silent and gruff legionaries, within the Stygian Contubernia they frequently adopt personalities and specialisations of their own. Many favour mancatchers or harpoon crossbows for capturing rogue pretas, but equally many adopt stranger weapons such as flails, falchions and throwing knives. Most contubernia contain 2-3 Varazus.

Stryckna

Dangerous flying devils, Strycknas are used in high-priority message deliveries and as aerial shock troops. Strycknas favour bows and crossbows, and are extraordinarily fast at using the latter. Within Stygian Contubernia, Strycknas frequently serve as lookouts and scouts, easily spotting emerging groups of pretas or enemies on the horizon. Strycknas appear as feathered, birdlike humanoids with generally beaked heads, although occasionally Strycknas with eerily human faces have been reported, and it is these individuals that most commonly serve as members of Stygian Contubernia.

Farfarello

Farfarellos are a form of mutated imp found within and around the Styx. They appear as imps with shrivelled wings, long beards and, most strikingly, fishlike tails. They are capable of surviving short immersions within the Styx, and for this reason are favoured by the Contubernia for driving stubborn preta out of the river and onto the banks where they can be more easily caught, although they equally often serve in similar roles to that of a usual imp, such as as assistants to other contubernia members, or as messengers and occasionally cooks in the contubernia that develop a taste for food (something deemed highly excessive for low-ranking devils outside of Consuuli, the layer of Gluttony). Due to their extended exposure to the waters of the Styx, Farafellos tend to be especially mad by infernal standards, often even talking back to their superiors. This behaviour is tolerated within the Contubernia due to their willingness to enter the Styx, but is likely the reason they haven’t seen much use outside of the ostracised unit. Alongside this, it is likely also the reason generally only one Farafello is found within a contubernium, as any more would likely drive the other members even more insane.

Finally, a construct mostly unique to the Stygian Contubernia and the other infernal units that regularly deal with pretas or prisoners.

Shackle Visages

Appearing as grinning or weeping masks made of whitish clay (or, more rarely, flayed skin) upon which are attached dozens of barbed chains, Shackle Visages are the constructs responsible for chaining up the mobs of Pretas and driving them along the Pale Roads. Despite being constructs, Shackle Visages seem to display remarkably sadistic tendencies, and groups may even gang up on a single preta if they deem it entertaining enough. However, they still unthinkingly obey the Kalvereens within the contubernia, and as such when not shackling pretas they tend to serve as perimeter guards and watchmen whilst the contubernia is on the move or at rest. Most contubernia are accompanied by two or three Shackle Visages at any one time, although due to frequent combat on the Styx this number can vary wildly. Alongside the majority of Pandorum’s constructs, Shackle Visages are manufactured in Kimeron, the layer of Sloth, although a few have been produced in forges within Avernas or Dis.

wtf i looked up the youtubers you post about and theyre leftists. awesome

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tbh im gonna be honest they did use to be much cooler than they are now like actual super ultra socialists but nowadays alex reportedly just mainly wants to tax billionaires like some kind of boring socdem & aleksa says he doesnt rly consider himself a communist anymore......sad. (although that was one stream and i havent rly watched all the hasan vods in depth so he might still claim to be one but yeah hes definitely a leftist and alex is more of like a centre leftist i guess) but of course in spite of that theyre definitely still some of the most based leftwing youtubers out there aleksa is possibly the ultimate number one fan of marx & castro & gaddafi in the world plus he has genuinely insane niche political knowledge in general whereas alex has a pretty incredible strategy where he regularly tries to sneak politics into a seemingly apolitical engineering video (i.e. police brutality in the "safe" rubber bullet video or the mancatcher one etc etc) so that particularly ppl who don't want anything to do with politics and just want to watch him make sth insane can be like tricked into watching the video by the outlandish title but then leave ever so slightly and mildly radicalized by seeing how awful the situation he's presenting a crazy engineering solution to actually is. plus they go to legitimately highly dangerous lengths to expose corruption and just evil shit happening both in australia and the us in practically like every third video they make in fact the one thats coming up next is them pranking the cia and apparently it took a crazy long time to get done bc they got in like legal trouble with the authorities which isnt even the first time thats happened at all. i dont want to make this insanely long which it already is but yeah theyre rly truly awesome and great and it makes me soooo sad that the boy boy channel is so underappreciated and relatively unknown in the grand scheme of things....one hundred million subscribers to aleksa Immediately.....

star sign: cancer mythological creature: phoenix folktale: lungmo fairytale character (classical or modern): thumbelina (hans christian andersen, 1835)

"Thumbelina escapes the toad and her son, and drifts on a lily pad until captured by a stag beetle who later discards her when his friends reject her company. [...] The mouse suggests Thumbelina marry her neighbor, a mole, but Thumbelina finds repulsive the prospect of being married to such a creature because he spent all his days underground and never saw the sun or sky. The field mouse keeps pushing Thumbelina into the marriage, saying the mole is a good match for her, and does not listen to her protests. At the last minute, Thumbelina escapes the situation by fleeing to a far land with a swallow she nursed back to health during the winter." (x)

3 fictional tropes: fate worse than death, bookworm, sensitive artist

Fate Worse than Death - "Think death is the cruelest fate? Think again. There are several things much worse. More often than not, some unfortunate soul will experience it." (x) Bookworm - "A character who just loves to read and collect books. They tend to be smarter, nerdier, and more into school than other characters, but some book enthusiasts are of average intelligence. [...] Expect for them to have few friends because they ignore or avoid others so they can sit down in a secluded area and indulge in reading." (x) Sensitive Artist - "'Sensitive' here typically refers to emotional sensitivity, being empathetic, introspective, or highly intuitive and perceptive to the feelings and thoughts of those around you. Portrayed positively, this lends itself to a kind, gentle, compassionate, and understanding disposition. When people say Artists Are Attractive because they're sensitive, this is usually what they're referring to." (x)

romantic or platonic trope: belligerent sexual tension, the playboy, odd friendship

Belligerent Sexual Tension - "There's a couple, usually a sometimes sweet, sometimes grouchy female paired with a secretly-kind jerk, who are not able to admit their feelings. At the top of their lungs." (x) The Playboy - "The lifelong playboy character finds themselves considering hanging up their player threads to be with someone who does not fall for their charms, or the protagonist sets upon a notorious playboy to improve them." (x) Odd Friendship - "A friendship which develops between two characters that would seem unlikely to be friends, whether it's because of them having diametrically opposed personalities, holding beliefs that would normally get one to try to demonize the other, or some other quirks of their beings that would lead to them clashing." (x)

creepypasta story: borrasca (x) greek god or goddess: pasiphae time of day where they draw the most energy: 9 am their achilles heel: her past coming back to further haunt her medieval weapon of choice: mancatcher survival, starvation, or death by the undead in the apocalypse: starvation which of the seven sins represent them? horseman of the apocalypse?: sloth, famine what their superpower would be: resurgence could they pull excalibur from the stone?: no one aesthetic for each of the five senses (taste, hearing, sight, smell, touch):

black coffee with just a half teaspoon of sugar added in, the scratch of a charcoal pencil against the thick pages of a sketchbook, the beauty of the sunrise when unable to sleep, the aroma of flipping through an old and used book, pulling an oversized sweater over your knuckles and pulling it tighter around yourself

a bad habit that won’t go away: unable to fall asleep and choosing to read late into the night instead a recurring nightmare: too graphic/violent to describe an object they consider their lucky charm: no longer in her possession but it was a necklace with a small 'm' charm that her mother bought her

[neverloseguy]

Can anyone do me a favor and fill this list for me

I need ideas for "alternative weapons" that could be used as a skin for existing guild wars 2 weapon type.

Torch: Lantern, Electric lamp

Warhorn: idk about this one

Greatsword: Something like Belinda's, Bigger sword like Guts', Zweihander, Rhompaia
