"Das Herz eines Drachen" by Feuerschwanz made me immediately think of Miraak upon listening to it so i Had to make a cover

tell me about this nomad milf please and ty

heheh OKAY. so she is a very vague character concept at this stage, and she's sort of loosely a V. essentially I am planning out my next playthrough of the game and I thought I should at least TRY to roleplay as a character who isn't Valentine and do another lifepath.

Now I'm just a simple country boy at heart, so the obvious answer is: nomad. And since nomads are basically one big rural extended family, my thoughts went instantly to the character archetype I rarely see celebrated in fiction, but which you can see everywhere in real life: the middle-aged woman who takes neither shit nor quarter, and keeps all administrative and logistical tasks for the local area on track and getting Done. that's not a role exclusive to rural life by any means, of course, but I can easily summon to mind a half a dozen examples to mind in that vein so that's what I'm working from.

things I haven't decided yet:

whether she's technically a milf or just a cougar

exactly what last straw drama after decades made her decide to leave her clan and head to NC

her name

most things

things I am certain of:

she's often mistaken for a middle-aged butch but is decidedly heterosexual and has a Type and a cast of rotating boytoys

always in the sun, never wearing sunscreen, salt 'n pepper hair

one prosthetic leg, never was aligned quite right, has back problems because of it

possesses no shame or self-doubt about anything she does

confidently gives absolutely terrible advice all of the time because what somehow works for her rarely translates

drives johnny insane not because she disagrees with his basic premise but because she has a lot of very loud opinions on how things should go which she will expound upon at length multiple times no matter how often she's said it before

despite her terrifying administrative ability she is also excellent with a shotgun

Bingqiu have such disaster crazy lesbian energy. Some how making them actual lesbians balances them. You're doing good work.

thank you!!! they won that guy yuri poll for a reason lmao they just make such excellent lesbians! I think it helps that they already have so much weird gender shit going on, so making them lesbians just adds an extra layer of flavor to their dynamic

⸻ PATIENCE STRENGTH TEST ( @lgcjieun )

Baek Byeongkwan is a well-known gym rat. Well, a gym beast ( or whatever creature hes decided to compare himself to that day ). If not holed up in some practice room or napping in the cafeteria, he could easily be found there pushing himself to the limit. There was something therapeutic about getting out of his head and into his body - and he much rather that than address the endless stream of thoughts clogging up his mind as of late.

So, it isn't that much of a surprise that he'd be called in for this favor. He didn't ask too many questions of their mutual friend when the topic was broached - Action school, something something, extra conditioning, yadda yadda, pretty girl? Count him in. Too bad that despite all efforts of activating his selective hearing did little to block out Hyunsoo's request to be on his best behavior. There was really nothing to worry about. When wasn't he on his best behavior? ( ...No one should answer that ).

At least things were off to a good start, with Byeongkwan already mastering his impression of a personal trainer as he guides Jieun through the Legacy gym. "At the beginning of a new workout regimen, I always like to start out with something pretty basic. Kinda like figuring out where your baseline is - strengths and weaknesses, all that - and moving up from there, y'know," he drones on, gesturing to a row of weights he'd arranged in a quiet corner of the gym. "I came up with a quick warm up that's pretty easy, then we'll do a few exercises with the free weights and move on to some cardio. Don't worry if it's difficult at first," he adds, unable to resist a cheeky grin and a flex of his bicep. "It takes a lotta time to build up this kind of upper body strength."

actually i'm going to list it here too sdlkfjsd

How i would personally "fix" the arknights "meta" *meta defined here as operators whose kits i personally find unbalanced or too powerful in a way that's unhealthy for the game. i will give no opinion on operators who are strong but i like sdklfjs

Eyjafjalla: she just does the entire job of splash casters while half the cost, either with her s2 or s3. unfortunately, that is also her entire identity as a unit. the real solution wouldn't be to change eyja, it'd be to make splash casters stronger as an archetype. barring that: s3: instead of hitting up to 6 enemies, it only hits 1 enemy at random, but it also deals a bit of splash damage, (1/2 or less) like her s2. to compensate for reducing dps by approximately 83%, the sp cost should be lowered and the duration increased to put it on equal footing with more modern skills. typhon deals >120k with her s3 at a 40 sp cost...

Silverash: he just does (did) way too much damage with his s3. like, did you watch how everyone dropped him nearly immediately after ch'alter's release? what about mlynar? he has more things he can do, technically, but the damage was always the main draw. take it away and those other niches become more interesting s3: halve the attack buff and drop the defense reduction. ideally, it would turn entirely into a support skill: instead of dealing huge damage himself, he'd apply a small fragile against all enemies that he's hit, then a much larger fragile to all invisible enemies within range. i'd even make it explicitly not buff his own damage

Thorns: same as silverash, except instead of just raw damage, he's just too dang convenient. range + damage + regen? the damage is the biggest draw, and the main way he stays alive: the enemies can't hurt you if they're dead. s3: does not double stats, doesn't last forever. instead, it'd be sick if it worked like blaze's module. first activation, it just gives the normal stats, second, it gives him a large defense boost, third, he gets resistance, fourth, his regen lasts even while attacking, etc etc. maybe it still does last forever, but you have to activate it 4 or 5 times first. thus killing the damage and convenience, but making him a very interesting pure laneholder

Skadi the Corrupting Heart: kills the entire bard class, and most of the medic class. her s2 combining healing, attack boost, and a defense boost is ridiculous role compression and convenience compared to the inconvenience of using sora, aak, or warfarin's comparable skills. s2: literally all you have to change is give it a limited duration. lower the SP cost a lot, give it a pretty long duration, maybe buff it a bit, and it'd still be useful.

Surtr: i've talked a lot (not here?) about how removing any piece of surtr's kit would instantly make her pretty reasonable. it's a combination of so many powerful abilities all on one skill that add together into a monster. s3: halve the attack buff, but add a stronger version of her s2's condition that deals bonus damage to singular targets. reduce target count, and raise the speed of HP loss. instead of capping at 60 seconds, 40-50 would be more reasonable. between the slow start HP drain and her invulnerability talent, she actually gets ~34 seconds with no healing support at all, which is quite good even on such a long timer. she'd still be fantastic between her res ignore and invulnerability talent, and she could still kill bosses (as long as you clear out the vicinity) she'd just be a bit harder to use.

Ch'en the Holungday: extremely boring kit. she gets ammo, the best mechanic, and all her skills do the exact same thing. if it were up to me i'd just remove her from the game sdlkfjs, or replace her with a more thematic ch'en alter. something to do with liberation and respect rather than. waterguns. ch'en defender alter that mirrors hoshiguma, ch'en caster or medic that forces her to really approach fighting from a different angle. as it stands though, fixing her is stupid easy s3: remove "attacks deal two hits". also, lower the ammo and ammo consumption respectively. she'd still be a monster, true AOE crowd control + defense ignore + massive damage is a great combination, but that sheer damage is the reason people build her.

Młynar: i fucking hate this guy so much. great character. he's an excellent shithead foil to nearl's impossible heroics, but as a kit he's atrocious. he outclasses his own skills for no reason. there are 3 skill slots, but for some reason the 3rd skill always gets a dozen extra lines s3: literally just remove the line "increase trait effect to 2x" and it's fine. very, very strong, but much more fine. personally, i would also change his extra damage from true to arts to be more consistent with tequila. no i do not think the thematic synergy with nearlter is worth it. she shouldn't have true damage either. blemishine made do with arts damage and you can too.

Texas the Omertosa: in contrast, an interesting and cool kit that you can really tell they tried to balance. her s2 isn't totally outclassed by her s3, they both have different, interesting roles to play. the numbers are also deceptively small. i would suggest only removing her "texas tradition" talent. it's just so impossibly versatile. you can use it as a bomb by dropping her on a weak enemy next to a strong enemy, you can nearly double her skill timer by dropping her on an elite while another important enemy is walking into range, you can even use it as a pseudo-revive. she'd still be absolutely busted without it, but you'd need to play a little more carefully.

Kirin R Yato: honestly i don't think she's that bad. i know she's like, busted, but she's got plenty of weaknesses. if i was going to nerf her, though? s2: lower the attack buff from 150% to 120%. when the skill level is less than 7, it reduces her attack instead of increasing it. s3: lower the attack buff a little. the amount of enemies that it's stupid strong against is so low that it isn't a huge problem.

Typhon: the fact that her kit has a lot of self-nerfing features is a really good sign. she's still very strong, but there's enough situations where she sucks that you can't throw her into every team composition. s3: increase SP cost. ammo + low SP cost is unreasonably versatile. give us one or another trade-off, please

Myrtle: look, it's kind of their fault. vanguards are barely necessary in the game modes that all but force you to use them. she's "strong", but only because vanguards are a weird bit of half-baked game design. to fix vanguards, you need to rebalance the entire game. let me propose two off-the-cuff solutions - make natural DP gen go down instead of up, you lose the map/lose HP seals if it hits zero. vanguards can be deployed for free (limited # of times?), generate passive DP and also generate heaps more DP. - DP does not generate naturally without a vanguard on the field, once they all die or leave the field it resets to zero. vanguards don't cost deployment limit, and can be repositioned for "free" once or twice per deployment. both of these add severe punishments for not having and not protecting your vanguards, which would fix the problem, but make the game way less fun. honestly, i think it's fine the way it is. i mostly use vanguards to open on certain maps before the enemies have time to move, therefore making it less "you need vanguards to play" and more "you can use vanguards to do very specific strategies"

anyway here are some of my meta thoughts. if you work for hypergryph just leave this on the CEO's desk and i'm sure they'll all be implemented by tomorrow. tysm.

[yayforocs]

oH this looks like so much fun!!!!! i'll throw mine into the mix :0

or rly this is actually my current skin if u want a bit of a challenge bc all the details for her are really. hard to see actually dslfkjs

i think it would be such a fun little bit for hermitblr bit for folks to pass around their minecraft skins without any other design context and let people make up designs (as hermitblr artists do) to see how other people interpret it

[yayforstuffs]

joshay i see ur ask and i am Very Intrigued 👀 i haven't seen it yet bUt i will defo pull it up here in a min and answer the ask proper once i've gotten through the vid bc I Am Interested Now

[brilliantfantasticgeronimo]

No one had even told him, had they...? Somehow, he'd figured as much.

Well, at least this guy only looked the same. Though Laxus would have to at least attempt to help him change that, until these idiotic games were over. Heaving a sigh, he did his best to rein in the annoyance probably already showing in his expression.

"You're Jellal, right? They told me you were gonna be posin' as a guild member for this tournament thing. Unfortunately, th' one you're posin' as wasn't exactly well-known, 'cept to a few. Dunno why it matters, if no one knew 'im, but they want me to make sure you don't out yourself as...whoever else you are."

He supposed -- well, hoped, probably possibly against the odds -- his grandfather knew what he was doing, when he agreed to this.

[yayforocs]
