i quoted this one under a twitter post by Harley aka @whisperwoIf. I find the post very interesting and really funny, so took it as an opportunity to draw sonic and super sonic jus chilling and doing normal things haha...this was so much fun to draw, a bit messy coz i was in a hurry and got other stuff to do 😅✌🏼

(any additions are in the tags below 👇🏼:))

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic fanart #sonic frontiers #super sonic #miles tails prower #amy rose #knuckles the echidna #ybetzarts #also #undefeatable is my favorite song #from sonic frontiers #next are Find Your Flame #Break Through It All and Im Here #not being bias #Knuckles' theme Blood Flow is the BEST for me #The BASS hits so HARD GAHHHH #i think Knuckles is a really chill and quiet guy #has a bit of a temper yea #but in this scenario i imagined that Sonic's been listening for at least one hour #and Knuckles aint having any of that #Amy's getting worried #So is Tails #but he's more curious as to how Sonic's been able to manage his super form for that long #Maybe he'll run a few tests after things go back to normal #just my headcanon heh #sonic fan comic

I'm sure a dozen other people have pointed this out but I haven't seen it come up in conversation much so I'll reiterate: each of the boss themes in Frontiers apply to Sonic, the boss, and the other ally on that island simultaneously.

I'm Here works for both Sonic and Sage, as well as the pressure that Supreme's pilot was going through before they died, both playing up Sonic's determination and foreshadowing how Sage will step up as the new pilot but ultimately die to protect the others.

I rambled about the rest on Discord a while ago so here's that mess:

Undefeatable

Break Through It All

Find Your Flame

These are very disorganized bc I was just kinda talking about something I liked about the game but oh well. Anyway Find Your Flame warned us about Nine

#sonic frontiers #sonic the hedgehog #sth #i'm here #undefeatable #break through it all #find your flame #amy rose #amy rose the hedgehog #knuckles the echidna #tails the fox #nine the fox #sonic prime #<<< just for the Nine foreshadowing but if y'all were looking for more music that fit him it's right there have fun #sonic theory

There are a handful of lines that I feel are important™ when analyzing or understanding Halsin as a character, but I think the one that sums him up best is, very simply, the Dryad's: "Halsin: nature's gentle steward - and furious defender."

#BG3 Musing #Halsin Posting #tbh there's a lot of good character lines in the dryad scene that are itching to be taken apart #halsin is like...a dog - you can kick him multiple times and perhaps his loyalty will remain #perhaps he will even still sit at your feet and lick your hand #but if you kick *one time too many* it's over and done #the breeze becomes a hurricane the rain becomes hail #halsin is relatively gentle and doesn't see violence as the *first* choice if he has one #but the caged beast holds a fury that is bone deep and indescribable #i had more intelligent things to say but tbh that sums it up #halsin will gently hold thaniel and yenna's hands in his own and stroke his knuckle against the fragile little skull of a duckling #but those same hands will break bones and cast nature's fury upon you should his endless patience be tested #like don't forget that halsin is - at all times - actively choosing to be kind and patient #it's the dichotomy of man baby

okay back to watching sonic free riders i never actually finished it because they said this and it annoyed me so bad that i just paused the video and went to sleep

#its not your fault knuckles whoever wrote this line has just never played sonic 06 and it shows #btw the context is that the random robot shadow and rouge made made their teammate because the writers forgot omega exists i guess #started glitching out and tails is like Oh no :( Is he gonna break down :( #and rouge is like If he breaks down we'll just ditch him Lol #and tails is like Noooo but hes your teammate and knuckles says the thing in the screenshot #wdym they dont know team loyalty..... #does ''even if you believe everyone in the world will be against you know that ill always remain by your side'' mean NOTHING !!!!!!

For anyone writing a noir, a 2$ (two-dollar special) is the term for punching someone while holding a roll of nickels (US currency). a 4 dollar special is if you have a roll of coins in both hands. If you use different coins its different values! A roll of quarters is 10 dollars! And also weighs different! Be smart author!

#this will break your knuckles. dont try it #unless you really wanna or need to #itll also break what you punch with #it #my advice is just buy a “paperweight” that fits your hand well and carry it when you cant have a knife

If you did HEMA what weapon would you do/marry. I think you'd love the romance of the rapier but your gnomish stature compels you to get good at spear.

i think fencing is in every way cooler than HEMA but i’d be lying if i said i wouldn’t try it at least once if i could do it for free. spear would be cool, though a part of me just wants to go wild with a hussar sabre or a shashka to halfway placate my cavalry fantasies

#the lack of a guard on a shashka is scary though i don’t know how you’re not supposed to break your knuckles sparring #anonymous #i don’t really know that much about swords

[antihibikase-archive]

Okay I've been posting about Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2 a lot the past few days and I do recommend it a lot even if the game is highly questionable at times.

Its one of the best games in the GBA. That said, its one of those games where you might need a walkthrough if you want to 100% everything, since the main game takes the span of ten days.

That being said, I know it might not be for everyone, so I've compiled a list of its gameplay elements, the things I liked about it, as well as some stuff that might irk other people out from trying it.

Basic plot summary; you are a craftknight's apprentice, someone who makes weapons such as swords, axes, spears, knuckles, and drills. You're also specifically the last remaining descendant of the Coltheart clan, a clan of summoners, people who summon creatures from other worlds (machine world Loreilal, Yokai world Silturn, spirit world Sapureth, beast world Maetropa)- these creatures are called as summon creatures.

Plot spoiler happens, and you basically have to seal a certain evil away from rampaging and destroying your village. At the very start, you encounter a stray summon creature- what you answer during this part will result in a different guardian beast to partner with you.

Some gameplay stuff;

The partner you chose at the start of the game cannot be changed. They have different skillsets and priorities from each other; the fire oni Loki focuses on attack and using flames, while the wind beast Arno focuses on agility and utilizing the wind. They all have the ability to enchant your weapon with the others' elements, but they can't learn each other's special moves.

The partner at the start also has different interactions with the player and the world around them; machine guardian beast Ex-e-LD is factual and logical, angel-devil guardian beast Dinah is abrasive and sarcastic, oni guardian beast Loki is hotheaded and reckless, and half-beast Arno is airheaded and peculiar.

Despite the title (and the first game being more centered around swords), you can choose to opt for other weapons. You start with a sword, and only two story elements require a sword; otherwise, you can shift to using the other four weapons in the game.

Weapons are highly customizeable; besides their appearance, you can alter their attacks and passive skills utilizing different ingredients.

The game is an RPG, with its overworld being similar to the likes of Pokemon, but the battle system isn't time based- its real-time combat. Additionally, there are random encounters outside the town and forts.

The world is small; there's no other civilizations explored outside your own town. There's a large forest, the caves, and the four forts it holds, plus some four areas you can instantly transport to, and the final dungeon. The four areas and the dungeon get bonus floors post-game, but that's about it.

Besides weapons, you can create accessories (not reflected on the character, sorry) for stat boosts, medicines, and other items, like a diary that lets you save anywhere, and an amulet that helps you repel encounters.

A fishing minigame is there so you can buy additional shapestones for weapons, as well as buy ingredients you could normally only obtain through story-bosses.

Sidequests that span over the course of ten days; there's quite a few, but the main ones I recall are talking to the merchant and his friends daily for rare ingredients, finding a lady's lost cat, and finding a child's missing items. There's also an NPC that trades you rare ingredients for medals you can find in the overworld.

After the end of every day, you get to spend time with one NPC; your guardian beast, or any of the characters you've met so far. Who you spend time with the most determines the ending you get.

Things I liked;

Fun gameplay! I liked exploring the world, gathering ingredients, and crafting all sorts of weapons. When the gameplay gets shaken up a bit, its also a fun time.

A lot of dialogue is honestly very fun, particularly between the player and their guardian beast; though a lot of characters' interactions with them are also nice.

Unlike the first game, areas can be revisited, and ingredients and materials can be gathered at any time, instead of being permanently missable content if you happen to break your weapon or misuse an item.

Depending on the guardian beast you pick and the weapon you choose to specialize with, the game either becomes very easy or difficult, so each run is at least a little different.

The main characters aren't silent, so they get to interact a lot with the cast. Additionally, Aera and Edgar (canon names of the MCs) are vastly different in terms of personality and interactions with their respective beasts, their family, and their friends, so they don't feel like the same character.

A lot of the things in game are actually progressive and handled decently; Arno is nonbinary (not explicitly stated, and though Arno uses he/him pronouns, he's not a boy or a girl- something he says himself), and Aera and Edgar's interactions with certain characters don't change even if they can be perceived in a romantic context.

There's no direct romance in the game regarding your character, so you can just.. imagine if its romantic, platonic, familial, etc. Qpr rep in my head. <3

Things to look out for;

Even though I just praised it, the game's handling of Aera's interactions with women (particularly the childhood friend's sister, Lynn) are.. less than stellar. Its the whole "but we're both girls" thing in some cases, but in other cases, its completely fine??? I haven't played as Edgar yet, so I'm not entirely sure if its the same case with his scenes with men..

A lot of very sexualized characters, dialogues, and scenes. Dinah in particular (her opening scene is her in a compromising pose) if you pick her as a guardian beast. Nina too, but she doesn't really get sexualized; she's just naked due to being a ghost, but is surrounded by bubbles. Lots and lots of suggestive scenes/dialogues spoken by Lynn to the player are. Yeah.

Unskippable fish plot which includes the last part. Without spoilers, some fish summon creature wants to be seduced. You can thankfully choose to refuse (though your guardian beast, regardless of who it is, tries it out for your honor). Again, sexualization of Lynn in particular in this scene.

Strange dialogue?? Not sure if its because of the localization, but there are strange.. dialogue choices. Or things said by the npcs. Just things that are so out of pocket and strange.

Depending on how you take it; the endings. Though the endings are not explicitly romantic, they end like a dating sim visual novel where the character you spent most time with is given a bust-shot of them smiling at the player. This includes the player's siblings, Orin and Tatiana.

Not really a big deal, but the beginning part of the game (before you get your guardian beast) just has rushed exposition and pacing and it seems jarring at first, trying to fit in the player's relationship with Ryoga, the childhood friend, how they were taken in by their master Blaire after their father's death, what your job entails, etc.

#Summon Night Swordcraft Story #((Might as well make this post if any of my mutuals want to try this game out since-)) #((-while I do love it for being a fun experience and an underrated game. It has its own issues.)) #((HONESTLY Dinah's opening scene is what kept me from picking her in the first place like. She's more sexualized than-)) #((-the previous angel guardian beast and. Why do they keep doing this to the Sapureth summon creatures.)) #((That being said. Arno and EX-e-LD sweep. They're very fun partners.)) #((Pro tip <- not a pro - that thorn you get from the first boss is one of the best items in the game.)) #((Stunlocking your opponents WILL deal with a lot of threats!)) #((Also spears and axes. I reccomend them. Its hard to master both if you're new but it's worth it.)) #((Swords are the main thing but they're the most delicate weapons I think.)) #((Knuckles have low power but strike a lot. They're very good for disrupting opponents that rely on combos.)) #((Drill is Bad but is amazing at breaking weapons.)) #((Which is a possible win condition for opponents WITH weapons.)) #((Spear can hit multiple enemies + especially useful with airborne enemies)) #((Axe has raw strength and is good with enemies that are on the ground.)) #((To negate the axe's agility cut just use two beast crests as an upgrade- it'll weigh like a sword.))

Former boxer?? Woof

HAHA Yeah I have done a lot in the past… my favorite was still kickboxing ✌️ as I was drawing wriothesley and adding long nails to him I was mumbling how this is a crime because it Hurts punching with long nails if you’re supposed to do it “right”

it looks good though

#you can still do it with your fingers flat down to your palm #but that can damage your knuckles #so it’s not recommended #and when you curl up your fingers — your nails dig into your palm #and when you punch #it’s easy to either crack your nails or break your skin. my nails are very hard so I have broken skin like that #not a great idea #anonymous #ask the archaic
