i hate how i'm just filling up the askbox and responding to anything, however:

ROCKET

he has gotten the best end of the stick (the stick being the boost). He can now shift between diffrent modes for his whole body, prothestchics and rocket launcher, those modes being:

BAZOOKA

fire faster and move faster in exchange of being skinnier

MULTI-ROCKET LAUNCHER

move slightly faster and jump slightly higher, shoot a line of five horizontal rockets

and EXPO LAUNCHER

rocket shotgun plus extra strength

though rockets bones crack and twist when switching modes

SLINGSHOT

he's gonna go roman on your ass, he has a natural bronze helmet (it's coming out of his head) and if he has claws they are also bronze now, his legs are coated in bronze as well. His gear is now wooden and can turn into a ballista(big crossbow for those not in the know)and he can slap it on to his new gear which is a cart and make the ballista even bigger. He can't walk anymore just jump

HYPERLASER

he's a pirate now/hj i guess, his scar tissue is now gold and creates metal scrap for him to make spare canon balls for his new gear upgrade which is a canon in the center of his gun, but it's to heavy now so he can't lift it up to snipe anymore, plus his gun is now electricall so he can shoot the cannonballs to SUPER BOOST THEM into his targets

SHURIKEN

HE IS NOW MADE OF CLOUDS,the gear he got from the boost is a could so i think it fits, he can't go into playground cause it's to high up and he'll dissipate, he can float on the cloud or use it as a HADOUKEN, he has another secret identity maybe called THE SHADOW NIMBUS, oh yeah he can also shoot lightning from the cloud

SCYTHE

she is bone thin now, has a natural cloak (coming from herself), and her gear boost is an extra shovel mode to her gear letting her get out of situations that she really shouldn't

(this is for gear boost btw)-mod cap

Okay so:

Giving Rocket all the explosives let's go!!

So Slingshot has natural armour and a huge ass crossbow, do you think that would make him more annoying to phight against?

🎵 Yar har fiddle dee being a pirate is alright with me! 🎵/ref

Imagine getting hit by a fucking cannonball, I'd rather just be shit with a bullet bc damn that would hurt less.

Forget parkour, Shuriken can straight up fly now lmao

Damn Scythe you good?

The shovel can be used as a melee weapon and as a tool to bury the bodies of the several inphernals she's killed/j

[thedorkurge]

are you trying out the new subclasses? I really want to check them out, but I don’t have a lot of time to play so I was wondering if you had any recommendations

I've only played three of them, but i'll share what I think so far!

This is a bit long and a tiny bit spoilery at the sorcerer part

I only got through a third of act one with Circle of Stars druid. I found it pretty boring, and it doesn't really do anything that you can't find a better version of in other classes. But i'm not a big fan of playing druids in general, so i might be biased 😅

I'm at the beginning of act two with my Oath of the Crown Paladin! So far that's my favorite of the new ones. It's really fun if you want to get into playing the most obnoxious holier-than-thou fantasy cop that it wants you to be. Lots of class-specific options for dialogue, great abilities, just an all-around solid subclass (That multiclasses well).

I'm halfway through act two with my shadow sorcerer, and I gotta say... This was the biggest letdown so far. The abilities are very very boring (except for the Hound of Ill Omen, love you Nimbus) and it has NO subclass specific dialogue. It changes nothing when you encounter the shadow curse. It is one of my most boring runs.

Like, logically I knew the subclass-specific dialogue would be very limited for this patch, as they didn't bring the actors back to record new dialogue for it, but it still feels like a letdown. I suppose it's easier for a Paladin, since they can use a lot of responses that are already recorded for other subclasses and make them fit, while shadow sorcerer would require brand new lines. But it was still disappointing.

When you decide to add a bunch of subclasses centered on Shadow magic, and you don't have a single line for it in the entire act that's about shadow magic? That's really noticeable. It didn't even have to be anything big, just any nod to it would have been good. Even when you're doing Balthazar's experiment with Gale, he comments on how shadow weave isn't your typical magic (it's literally all a shadow sorcerer has), and you don't even get like...advantage on the check to do the ritual. You don't get to resist the shadow curse, you don't get to comment on the Shadowfell (where your powers come from), you're just...a slightly worse sorcerer with none of the fun lines that wild magic or draconic bloodline get. To be honest, it feels like a modded subclass, not an official one.

Those are the only three I've tried so far, but i hope it helped at least a little!

So I finished my Darkness Team HM ruleset run... with a bang 🥲

This was HM ruleset, not single save, but I only save scummed if my whole party died. I didn't do every single little quest, but I did some and all the big bosses, aside from Lorroakan and Raphael. For the most part, it turned out to be pretty easy with this team. Throughout the game, I lost I think five fights total, and they were all ones that I would've skipped or done at a higher level if doing true HM. I also didn't use any tadpoles, didn't become an Unholy Assassin, only used Nimbus and a couple times the shadow wraith as summons, etc. I stuck to my roleplay. So look at me, finally decent at this game after 13 playthroughs!

Except in the run up to the brain. That was a disaster. Emps is so bad at stealth 😭 So he got us caught sneaking, and then Emps and Tav (Evan) died and were revived with scrolls. By the time they got up to the brain stem, Wyll and Shadowheart were dead. Gameplay-wise, I think I could've gone back to save them because the enemies disappeared, but story-wise, that makes no sense, so the remaining three pushed onward.

[Ending spoilers and dramatic headcanon rambling incoming 😅]

Gale then made his offer to explode the brain, but Evan wasn't going to let him go die alone. So they climbed up, and upon realizing there was no way they were going to win with just the three of them, instead of sacrificing a bunch of allies, they told Emps to go, and Gale used his orb.

Evan was a shadow sorcerer who never really had companionship before this journey because his magic unsettled people, so Gale's love and the others' friendship and every bit of genuine gratefulness from NPCs and strangers meant a lot to him. He hesitantly worshipped Shar, despite not agreeing with her cruelty, because his magic comes from his connection to the Shadowfell and Shadow Weave and revolves around darkness and absence and messing with people's minds. But this journey, especially seeing Shadowheart's parents, made him realize he couldn't anymore. So in his last moments, he prayed to Mystra to accept him so that he could stay with Gale. Evan's full name is Evanescent (fading, disappearing). He spent his whole life disappearing into shadows. He didn't want that anymore. Somehow, disappearing into Gale's light instead felt like fate to him.

And if Gale's soul was blown up along with his body, Evan will do everything he can to put it together again. And if both their souls were blown up, at least their soul fragments are floating around the void together. He still wouldn't have let Gale do it alone.

I thought there might still be an epilogue because of how Withers revives anyone who dies in the battle normally, but there wasn't, and that was perfect. I like to imagine he revived SH and Wyll (they were away from the explosion), just not Evan, even if his soul was intact. He didn't want to be revived without Gale.

[Dramatic headcanon rambling over]

But Karlach and Wyll will go to Avernus, Shadowheart is the new leader of the cloister, Astarion is free of Cazador, Lae'zel will fight against Vlaakith, Jaheira has Minsc back, Minsc will keep the Guild in line, and Halsin will go raise kids in Reithwin. As for NPCs, some things went wrong, but they did manage to help some.

And my darkness team was fun! I enjoyed finally using all the darkness based equipment. Darkness clouds are OP and saved my team many times and also created some funny situations.

And that's about it for my 13th playthrough. I even found a few bits of dialogue I'd never seen! Anyway, here are some more screenshots from Act 3.

Mods: Glitzy Horns (horns). Ghouls Customization Compendium (head). Gale's Better Starting Gear. Gale's Wizardly Updo. Terpsichor - Wyll Edits. Slutty Closet. Battlemage Armor. Gothic Wardrobe. Lilith's Armors. Hound of Ill Omen Recolors. Act 3 Night Mode. Sorry if I missed any. I think Tav's long hair is Kay's Hair Extensions, not sure where the bun is from.

Finished commissions for @nimbus-mod ! A mystery egg outfit and a pic of the best tiny dragon.

His kobold Nimbus needed an appropriate outfit. Nimbus is in Prism's Rainbow Factory Kobold Tribe. He specializes in elemental magics, and comes in quite handy.

September on my patreon was Boobtember and I was in the process of sketching two YCH's that never made it to that stage. One of them was my new fursona, and the other one was this, an idea he had of his character Gaza being all sultry and "flashing" her partner for the night as she undressed. I loved the idea since kobolds usually only have curves. I think it works just as well for her, though!

“You catch more flies with honey, Gaza.” “Aria I’m not catching flies.” “It’s an expression…” “It’s a weird expression… and seems not very applicable.” “It means that sometimes it’s easier to get what you want with a gentler approach.” “Ugggghhh finnne. I see your point. So how do I do that here?” And so Gaza began her training.

Hope you enjoy~! Want art like this monthly? Why not join? My General Patreon, safe for all audiences: www.patreon.com/rosexknight My 18+ ADULT-ONLY Patreon: www.patreon.com/rosexxxknight

i sent an ask like a month ago i think and i dont know if it just never sent (tumblr is weird like that sometimes) or if it was just forgotten (which is fair)

it was an ask just asking for info on sneeb though

Deeply sorry I've not gotten around to answering it yet! I did get it and 100% forgot about it after a while, but now you've sent this one I'm going to save the other ask for if I can think of any other fun notes to share about Sneeb for yall

Sneeb's honestly just a sorta basic guy; he games, he streams it, he made three separate AIs to help him handle streaming- okay not so basic :)

He's just a very chill and monotone dude. Speaks and types very flat and almost reads sarcastic when he's actually trying to seem genuine. Enjoys memes and jokes, sorta likes poking back at people in a jesting way, but he's not actually got a lot of Opinions or thoughts on things one way or another. Personality wise he's fairly aware he's kinda just Plain, by most folks standards.

Like he streams games because he thinks basic reaction style content just shows people how much he just, doesn't, have a personality. So he relies a ton on the games and the AIs to carry him when it comes to streaming. Mod bot/Edgar to moderate chat, and Friend bot/Allen and Therapy bot/Poe to actually keep up conversations with chatters.

When he does stream, I imagine it's always very similar to Sneegsnag and Wayneradiotv! It's just always game focused.

Here's some canon and ooc things from him under the read more, I'd thought would be fun to share. (And I might share more of them later if asked)

Sneeb and Poe before they were nicknamed in the chat, Poe belongs to @shxwrunner!

Snare [Whole from the Encore AU] belongs to @b0vidine

Static belongs to @keruukat!

TMA Whole/The Archivist belongs @jesterberries

Tide belongs to Q-ott! (He doesn't have a tumblr but just as beloved)

Nimbus belongs to @nitroish! And Poe is @shxwrunner's <3

Encounter (Chapter 111) A Destiny 2 Story

Crow x Female Guaridan

I trudge back into the Hall of Heroes, feeling completely drained and disheartened. I fucked up big time. If I hadn’t been sucked into the idea of Strand, I could have had the Radial Mast in pieces.

“Ruby,”

“Stell, I’m not in the mood. Right now, I want to sleep this whole ordeal away.”

“It’s not your fault.”

“Yes, it was... I knew what Strand did to my body, yet I used it anyway.”

“It was necessary at that moment. The amount of Taken...”

“Please don’t justify my actions.” Our conversation ended when I heard another argument from the Hall of Heroes.

“Empress Caiatl’s forces will help push back Calus’s advances,” Saint explained over Holoprojection. So, Osiris got the communication up and running.

“We’ve done nothing but waste time!” Osiris yelled.

“I understand... but I cannot lose you again in your eagerness to fight. It is not the same as before.” Osiris’s body tensed, and he ended his call with Saint. I opened my mouth to speak, but when Osiris turned to me, his eyes burned with the Solar Light he no longer had. I knew I was in for a lashing of a lifetime.

I am contemplating your most recent... outburst with Strand to see if there are opportunities for improvement.” I looked down at the ground, unable to form an argument.

“It was out of control; we did the best we could,” Stell explained. She flew in front of me, protecting me from Osiris’s wrath.

“We need to do better!” Stell flew behind me at Osiris’s raised tone, and even I took a step back in fear. Osiris noticed our reaction and took a breath before speaking again, this time in a lowered voice. “We don’t know what Calus and the Witness want, but if it will have an effect on us all... I — I can’t allow that to happen.”

“Osiris. I am sorry-” He held out his hand, stopping my apology.

“I must ponder more on these “strands”. You should consult with the Cloud Striders to consider what our next steps could be.”

“Osiris...”

“I’m fine, Stell. I’ll be fine. Go on.” I hesitated as I watched Osiris slink away.

“Ruby,”

“Something else is bugging him.”

“It might be this.” She said, pointing to a nearby radio communication.

“From the Tower?” I asked, and Stell hit play.

“Hey, uh, I have a message here from your Vanguard’s “Commander Zavala” asking about you.” Nimbus said.

“He’s probably attempting to “check in” on my “physical and psychological status.” Osiris scoffed.

“He do that kind of thing often?”

“He and Saint and Ikora are... concerned for my safety. As if no longer carrying the Light as I did has transformed me instantly into a fragile elder.”

“Sounds like they care about ya, old bird. It’s sure rough to be stuck with supportive friends, huh?”

“I imagine, from your perspective, I must seem terribly ungrateful.”

“You know, when I first got the full set of mods, I was making friends with the ground every five minutes. Takes a second to find your balance sometimes.”

“So it does. I... appreciate the reminder.” 

“So Zavala wanted an update too.” 

I sighed. “If communications with the Tower online...” I headed to the corner that held my things and dug out my data pad. “Yep. Four messages from Crow.” I fell to my bed with a large thump, quickly reading what he sent.

“So what’s the verdict?”

“He’s worried about me.”

“Anything else?”

“He wants to know what’s wrong, and before I say nothing, he notes I left without a goodbye and my engagement ring.”

“You going to tell him?” I shrugged my shoulders and coughed. Looking down at my hand, I saw blood.

“I need to rest first. My body took too much damage.”

“That might be a good-” Stell got cut off as my data pad rang. 

“Let me guess...”

“Crow.”

“Some much for resting first,” I grumbled. I let the data pad ring a few more times as I composed myself, preparing for the onslaught on the other end. “Hi,” I said, forcing a smile.

“Oh, thank the Traveler. Zavala told me Osiris got the communications lines running with Neptune, but you didn’t message back.”

“That’s because I just sat down and opened the messages. I haven’t even had the chance to process them yet.”

“Sorry. I didn’t know.”

“How were you supposed to know.” I sighed and coughed again. I hurried to wipe the blood before Crow could see it, but I heard him gasp. I knew I had failed.

“Ruby!”

“I’m fine. Or at least I will be once I’ve had some time to rest.”

“What’s happening?”

“It’s a long story, and I don’t have the energy to tell it right now.”

“Do you have the energy to answer some questions?” 

I closed my eyes, pinching the bridge of my nose. “I could say no...”

“Ruby,”

“But that would be putting off what I know I can’t avoid. So what questions do you have, Crow?”

“Why did you leave your ring?” 

“Getting to the point,”

“Ruby. Please be serious. If it was an honest mistake...”

“It wasn’t.”

“You left it on purpose?”

“Yes.” Crow stayed silent at the revelation, and I wanted to end the call and hide. I wanted more time to process what I saw back on the Tower. The two days weren’t enough.

“Ruby... Why?”

“How do you feel right now?”

“Hurt. Confused. Angry.”

“That’s how I feel,” I explained.

“Why!” How could I answer this without sounding like a bitch? Without being seen as an overreaction.

“Lightbarrer, Caiatl is here to speak to you,” Rohan called from another room. 

“Ruby, you didn’t answer my question.” Crow hissed.

“Amanda,” I replied before ending the call and rushing to the Empress.
