#a switch flips

[soulsxng]

"Mmm, I don't really want to fight right now, though. Sounds like a hassle. My hair is super nice today too, and this is totally gonna ruin it."

"If that's the case, you can feel free to forfeit...though I was hoping to get a little bit of a workout from this."

Zahine Besiira: His biggest three abilities are his affinity for ice, and his abilities to inflict charm (which he's not allowed to use, because it doesn't really wear off, and tends to essentially brainwash whoever gets hit with it), and frenzy respectively. For ice, he prefers to use it at a longer range-- typically forming arrows and a bow of ice that will spread over his opponent's body, or burst once they're hit, depending on how gory he feels like getting that day...though he can also use it for deflecting other ranged attacks away from himself. He's exceptionally knowledgeable in anatomy and the like, and his precise aim allows him to target vulnerable areas with relative ease. As for frenzy, the most dangerous thing about this state is that it makes the opponent lose any and all inhibition, and they will fight even at the expense of harming themselves. It also usually tires them out quickly, as they expend huge bursts of energy to attack pretty much whatever catches their attention.

Aside from that, he's actually the most dangerous when he's up close. Typically, he tries to keep a more "impersonal" approach to fighting, which is a big part of why he usually fights at range. Once he's fired up enough to allow someone to get in close, he uses his brute strength to take them out immediately. Surprising to most, his physical strength is actually much higher than his magical strength, so they'll get close thinking he'll be at a disadvantage, only to have him literally crack them like a glow stick. Also, major healing! But he doesn't usually do too much of that in a fight, if he doesn't have to. He's stubborn about that.

Ber Bireth: Primarily a caster, relying on elemental magic (He really has next to no physical strength. It's very similar to what an average human's might be)-- he favors the earth element most, as he feels it gives him the most range for "status affliction" type attacks. That being said, he does also tend to favor large scale, powerful magics right off the bat, and has the energy to cast them more frequently than most others would. Tends to just wrap himself up nice and cozy in the strongest barrier he can cast, and sit there while his ranged magics force his opponents to run around the field like a headless chicken, trying to dodge them.

The biggest issue with fighting him (in a battle like this anyway-- otherwise it's the fact that he just regenerates immediately upon being killed, and comes at you like an angry cat that you just tried to drop in a bath tub) is by far his command over time based magics. Though he's no longer one of the masters of the Stream of Time, he's still able to do things like temporarily speed up, slow down, or stop time. He can also leap forward and back in any given timeline, but he's not allowed to do that here. He also isn't allowed to just indefinitely pause time to decimate his opponent while they're frozen. Soul sight and hearing means that, if his opponent has a soul, Ber knows exactly where they are at any given time. He can also manipulate souls like his dad can, but...again...that's not allowed here either. No murder, baby Ber. That's bad.

#[Let's get it started -memes & games-] #(Ber-- much like his father Lerato-- is an absolute MONSTER in a real fight #because either he blasts the shit out of you with his magic and wins #or you manage to break his shield and accidentally kill him because he's kinda squishy once he's actually hit with an attack #and then he regenerates to perfect health #pissed as hell #and uses his time manipulation to just wreck your absolute shit #or if he feels especially sadistic #just rip your soul right out of your body and crushes it #to be fair though Zahine is also absolutely terrifying in a fight #he has that vibe in a fight where like... #you know that trope where the character is like...the really deeply unnerving type of cool calm and collected in a fight? #and then they're close to being beaten or someone they love is in trouble #a switch flips #and they pull that uno reverse card like 'haha I was just kidding the real fight starts NOW' #only to do something in an absolutely terrifying display of power and ability? #that. that's Zai. #tired and kind of eccentric doctor by day #ex(?) psychopath by...whenever he feels like it)

Lab tech brain compels me to ramble through my OC

#fallout #arcade gannon #my art #you fools- by liking my previous art post you compelled me to do more art #anyhow I suppose that the one upside to wasteland medicine having less people involved is that there's less room for miscommunication #this is one thing on a canvas with far too many things #and the one other finished thing can sit in my drafts to post later for the illusion of me doing more art than I have haha #woe be upon y'all I can only post non-OC art when it's with an OC present it's just the law of my brain #it's a significant motivating factor I cannot sidestep around #anyway if you read these tags know that his speaking cadence is 1000 miles an hour #one of them say nothing OR flip a switch then be a chronic yapper kinds (like myself)

hate it when you see an item of clothing that slays absolute penis but you can tell just from looking at it that the Bad Texture will make you want to remove your own skin

It's a pretty cool name.

Loki + the progression of saying Mobius' name for @percheduphere

"The key thing was of course, the fact that Rick has PTSD and that's very much what's driving a lot of his behavior and being in a place of that level of vulnerability, back with the love of his life in that way.

It's also the thing he fears, the loss of her. It manifests itself in a way that is visceral and leads to the lovemaking not just being about love, but the revealing of pain and trauma and fear. That informs Michonne, that she can't just blast him into making sense. There's something deeper going on here that he can't verbalize. She has to help him get through in a different way. So she gets to see him, as well, as he reveals what's really in there, the wound. That's going to happen most likely in that most vulnerable space." — Danai Gurira

"Yeah, I think it is about pain. As Danai just said, it's about him wanting her and then fearing what he's about to unlock again. He gets to sort of articulate it in the scene further in the episode, when he gets to say that, 'I can't do this again. I haven't got the capacity to do this again. I've worked out how to die and live again.' So it is an absolutely necessary scene that allows Michonne to realize that there's something really broken here, more broken than she's ever anticipated. [...]

So the scene was about a real intimacy, a sort of frightening intimacy. This is a part of his personality he has shut down. It's almost like he's trying to stop himself from feeling this love again. She sees that and she just says, 'Just trust. We're back. We're the same...' I find it very moving. I think it's a very, very moving scene, because it's about them connecting in a way that he's had to deny for seven years. He's denied that connection for the sake of living on in this half life for the CRM" — Andrew Lincoln

years later someone buys the plot, turns on the lights and is suddenly worshipped as a sun god by a bunch of puppets falling apart at the seams

pov you break into the spooky abandoned Playfellow Studios building for shits and giggles

#lore tidbit! the plot is not available for purchase #the building is only Technically abandoned. its still very much Owned private property! #actually ive been thinking about the Other side of this au. the people's perspective #cause in this au at least they all Knew the puppets were alive #many employees - especially the ones working 'closest' to the puppets - put up a huge fight when the show got canceled #but it was either Disassemble (kill) Them or Lock Them Away #and honestly? killing the neighbors would've been somewhat of a mercy #but the employees had no way of knowing just how Bad things would get #wh lights out au #scribble salad #and i mean. the building's electricity bill remains paid. #the employees that felt really bad kept it paid over the years - devoting a bit of their income each to it #thinking the puppets would a) be awake & b) be able to figure it out #yeah that's actually a lil fun tragic tidbit as well - if any of the puppets had found the breaker.... #or found it and Messed with it a lil... flipped the right switch... #they would've gotten the lights back on no problem #but yeah anyway ive been Thinking about the employees' side of things a lot #might tie that in with act two. it'd make sense considering the shit that happens #well either they'd help the puppets out or they'd get shoved into one of the sinkholes by barnaby. so. #bc if we're talkin seriously here. the puppets are more likely to kill a person than worship them for any reason #they'd go full 'THREAT!! THREAT!! ELIMINATE THE THREAT!!! WE'RE NOT LOSING ANYONE ELSE!!!' mode

You know when Andrew does the thing where he has someone pick a number, and then he lets the other team score that many times, then shuts them out? I imagine him just standing there in the middle of the goal, leaning on his racquet, motionless, then, after the team shoots around him and scores the number, he stands up straight, gives his racquet a little twirl, and takes a defensive position. It's at this moment that the other team knows they're losing.

#his face still blank but his eyes turn into a determined glare #you can basically see the switch turn on from apathy to laser intense focus #neil loses it every time #once he goes pro someone makes a youtube compilation of everytime andrew minyard flips the exy switch from 'off' to 'on' #nicky watches each one religiously and sends them all in their og foxes group chat #aftg #all for the game #andrew minyard #andreil

New farmer (for 1.6 update reasons).

His name is Death and he's really death. He's pretty quiet and just wants to live in peace with his chickens. Tries to interact with the town as little as possible but is really curious about them and how they live and is super satisfied to simply watch them - but as the new person it seems no one wants to let that happen.

#stardew valley #sdv sam #farmer death #listen i just wanna name all my animals after ocs and have my farmer love and dote on them #those animals are like his beloved children just like my ocs are my beloved children #no i have no real idea what im doing but i spent all day debating if i would make him fish themed or not #and it was a really tough decision bc im indecisive #so then i debated doing a coin flip online and realized if i was that torn between my fish bits vs a death chara #may as well opt for the death guy since i have three fish farmers #sadly i cant play this file as easily bc its via steam which means i have to use my laptop #since i couldnt get the update on switch RIP that woulda been easier for me to access

the only way I want Duke of Hell Crowley, is if he becomes an absolute Nihilist with a twist of "actually the world can just burn. I don't care".

Aziraphale, tries his best to ruin the second coming by tempting new Jesus and teaching them to be bad and Crowley trying to get it to succeed by teaching new Jesus to be good.

because I genuinely cannot imagine Crowley going back to hell for any other reason. He hates it.

honestly this would be a hilarious way to get Aziraphale to see the good in being "bad". It could also be a hilarious way to get them to rekindle bc Crowley loves when Azi is bad.

#idk #i just really am not a fan of Duke of Hell Crowley #bc hes never been into it #i get hes in a whole thing with azi #and that could be a flip switch for him #crowley can be petty #but i just dont see it ig loll #unless its like this #good omens #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #ineffable idiots #good omens s2 #good omens 3?
