BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT MASTER POST

It is done! I feel both like I spent far too much time on this update yet not nearly enough. Some poses are a bit stiff but hopefully the battle itself still reads. I know not much progress was made plot wise, but trust me, there’s a few things in here that are going to become very important much later on in the story.

Leo’s Ninpo: The keen reader might recognize that a number of Leo’s attacks are ones he picked up from Gram Gram, but with a bit of that added portal flair. I really wanted to push the boundaries of where he takes his skills, but stay true to the belief that rather than becoming a heavy hitting powerhouse like his brothers, his strength lies in his ability to calculate and react on the fly. I also wanted to give some level of limitation to each of their gifts. For Leo, it’s less the number of portals he creates that exhaust him, but rather the size and amount of energy that passes through these portals and his ability to keep them stable during the transaction. He has also become much better at keeping his portals well protected (so that portal pirates can not interfere or rather, so that the pirates aren’t killed by stray laser beams rushing through). As far as the Portal Choppers, we’ll be coming back to those and how they work later on in the story…

As always, thank you for your patience, hopefully the next one won’t take as long to create haha.

To be fair, there are perfectly practical filmmaking reasons why cool guys don't look at explosions:

Most low to medium budget productions don't use compositing or CGI to put the actor in the same shot as the explosion – they just put the actor much further away from the explosion than you think they are, and use forced perspective tricks to minimise the apparent distance. There are a limited number of camera angles those tricks permit, and most of them require the actor to be directly between the explosion and the camera.

In spite of the fact that the distance between the explosion and the actor is larger than you think, mistakes happen, and the best way to avoid catching a piece of flying debris in the eye is to direct your line of sight away from the explosion.

"Cool guy slowly walking away from explosion" happens to be a very obvious way of satisfying both of those safety constraints.

I like the concept of slugcats using various flora as head accessories. Like Monk tying the wheel flower around their ear. Please excuse the rough sketches.

Artificer's pups would gift their parent a cherrybomb plant to wear, reminding them of their explosive abilities.

Survivor would tie the batnip plant to attract bats to it, a survival tip that their parents may taught them.

Hunter will wear the dandelion peaches that can be found in Sky Islands. Although this is quite of a distraction from their mission, Hunter thinks that they deserve to look pretty too.

And finally. I can imagine rivulet gathering many flowers that they find pleasant. bubble/glow weeds, Lilypucks and etc. And gifting these to Moon or their lizard friends.

soap's expresses his love in part by building whatever explosives ghost might or might not need on his next mission. loud and flashy for distractions? no problem. something that gets him inside with minimal possible noise? it's already in his bag.

he never just puts a name on these things. instead ghost finds himself in the field chosing between "the graves special", "bourbon" and "price if you take his cigar" and also one of his favourite protein bars with a little skull drawn on that johnny must've packed for him too. because no one else would dare to touch his stuff.

it's a good thing he knows by now how soap thinks so he grabs the "bourbon" and the protein bar with a little smile under the mask. he needs what johnny would call "a sweet little explosion" and not something that could presumably blow up a tank with a single charge or something that makes enough noise to alert the next three cities.

nik picks him up an hour later at the agreed upon exfil point and he's just waiting there, mask up enough to munch the protein bar. in a better mood than most people would think him capable of. excited to go home and kiss his boyfriend and have a glass of actual bourbon that hopefully will be as smooth and sweet as its namesake.

good night to everybody but especially the couple who sat next to me during tonight's showing of Spiderverse, where the guy spent the latter half of the movie trying to initiate a makeout session while the girl kept ignoring his advances due to being preoccupied by the spectacular celebration of animation and art happening in front of her eyes
