pre angelic revelation, the hotel crew goes looking for Vaggie about some managerial thing and regularly finds her kickboxing in a spare room, beating the crap out of a dummy dressed up in an exorcist's gear and mask

a totally normal way to blow off steam, and one that they sometimes also find Charlie spectating at-

("Aren't you supposed to be against all this violence and shit?" - "Yes! But no actual exorcists are being hurt during this stress relief slash training session! So it's OK!" - "Yeah right. And you think your girlfriend looks hot punching stuff huh." - "Hm? Sorry Husk, I wasn't listening- what did you say?" - "......")

which all well and good!

until AFTER the angelic revelation.....

Charlie: "Vaggie. Please don't tell me that's actually YOUR exorcist armor."

Vaggie: "...."

Charlie: "Don't say you've been punching your old exorcist mask, imagining your own face under it."

Vaggie: "......"

Charlie: "I do NOT want to hear that you've been beating up on your past self this entire time- while I was watching! -and using punishing yourself by proxy as a way to cope when you're stressing over feeling like you're not doing enough here and now."

Vaggie: "........."

Charlie: "Vaggie why aren't you SAYING anything!?"

Vaggie: "You told me not to!"

Charlie: "ARGH!!!!"

post revelation, Husk goes looking for Vaggie in the training room like usual, and finds her standing helplessly in front of the exorcist training dummy as a tearful Charlie clings protectively to it with a full body hug

husk decides restocking the bar can wait. he's not getting paid enough to deal with This

#hazbin hotel #vaggie #charlie morningstar #chaggie #incorrect quotes #husk hazbin hotel #silly headcanons #listen hotel battle vaggie was great at unarmed combat she HAD to be training SOMEWHERE and with SOMETHING #like maaaaybe #that pile of exorcist gear she knew exactly how to find #the idea of charlie getting protective of Past!Vaggie tickles me #no one is allowed to beat vaggie up over who she used to be #not even vaggie!!! #meanwhile husk will NOT touch this gay drama until they start paying extra for his day job as the hotel counselor #good for him

wait there are actually people out there who think roy would be completely 100% useless in a fight without his alchemy???????

I cannot even begin to express how much I desperately hope any and all posts I've seen that even remotely imply this are joking, because, unfortunately, yeah, some people do genuinely seem to believe that, and it drives me insane.

#fullmetal alchemist #Roy Mustang #I'm sure it's like 80% because the shows/manga play up the ''useless in the rain'' jokes way too much #and I don't think we ever see him actually fight without his alchemy #but regardless of all that I still think it's fucking obvious that the trained military Colonel would know hand-to-hand combat #he just clearly doesn't favour it #I'm not saying he'd be fucking *amazing* at it #he obviously favours his alchemy for a reason #I'm saying claiming he wouldn't know how (which is what you're saying when you claim he'd be useless without his alchemy) is insane #knowing how to defend yourself in a pinch with little resources is quite literally a requirement to becoming a fucking soldier #you'd be piss poor at your fucking job if you caved the second you got unarmed :/

i recently finished gravity rush 2 and say what you want about kali angel but she did NOT deserve what happened to her

#gravity rush #kali angel #gravity rush 2 #gravity daze #shout out to the guns she NEVER uses and the swords she doesn't have on display but somehow uses anyway #shout out to the fact that despite the weapons her favoured method of combat is doing some unarmed jetstream sam moveset shit #i hope i have the energy to draw raven next. this is the first thing i've drawn in what feels like forever so i'm a little rusty #i have red streaks in my hair already and i'm so thinking about just getting raven's colour

Karlach rolled a Critical Hit.

Otherwise known as that one time Zhana lost all feeling in her face, her pride and her consciousness in one-well executed clothesline. It's sitting up there with the time Wyll eldritch blasted her into the river over a spar/debate on "fighting honourably" (comic coming eventually).

I know technically at this point Karlach wouldn't have had her second upgrade but idc, I'm doing it for the funsies (and more excuses to let her have more party interactions).

Also bonus doodle. Not pictured: Karlach booking it for Shadowheart.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #karlach cliffgate #bg3 tav #tav #zhana tavianos #team tadpole shenanigans #fanart #currently headcanon-ing unarmed combat styles for the party #def convinced karlach would throw pro wrestling moves in there #gets gale to conjure a spectral chair for finishing moves #also reminded me of the time i lost a contact lens whilst sparring lmao

I love her with all my heart and soul but genuinely what was she thinking trying to walk into an isolated space where a thief stole her scooter and she was just gonna???ask for it back???

#mutant mayhem #tmnt #tmnt mm #mm april #she’s so cool and so swag but she cannot fight as far as we know #“I’m an unarmed non combatant YOU DONT TELL THEM THAT #and she went alone like I hope she sent somebody her address or something #she is a young black girl in nyc at night I’m scared for her #but also she hella bold just going in there with nothing but a helmet #like April is smart and when she knows she can’t handle something she finds a way around it #like getting splinter when the boys get milked #but she also lives for the thrill like she was there the whole car chase scene and in TCRI #mm spoilers

I saw your tags on the werewolf-biting post and while overall I agree, I really want to argue on Celebrimbor being high on the “would rather arrange to kill the wolf a different way” list. Celebrimbor may be a relatively moral, earnestly-seeking-cooperation-and-improvement-of-lives-of-others Fëanorian, but he IS still a Fëanorian, and moreover, whatever age you imagine Celegorm got Huan at, we can pretty much guarantee Celebrimbor is the only Fëanorian, indeed only Finwëan, to grow up with a giant dog as his honorary 7th uncle. Celebrimbor would be low on the list of likely to bite the throat out of a /person/, but a werewolf? A werewolf is FAIR GAME.

Look. does Celebrimbor think that a werewolf's throat is a just and correct place for his teeth to be? Absolutely! Nonetheless, if his teeth can reach a still intact werewolf throat, that is a sign that several layers of clever and carefully-wrought defensive measures have failed miserably. Quite possibly it means that other, less enthusiastically toothy people are now also trying to murder a werewolf with their bare hands! Just because Celebrimbor would take great satisfaction in doing it doesn't mean he wouldn't recognize it as a mode of failure.

In this, I think he takes after Curufin more than, say, Feanor. Under the right circumstances, Feanor (and Celegorm, and possibly post-Thangorodrim Maedhros on a bad day, likely at least one of the twins) would vault over his own fortifications for the pleasure of unarmed werewolf combat. Curufin and Celebrimbor (and Maglor, Caranthir, and hopefully at least one twin) would rather let the war machines on their battlements take care of things.

I feel like what we really need is one of those two axis gradient thingies. One axis is how enjoyable an individual finds unarmed werewolf combat, and the other axis is how likely they are to use unarmed werewolf combat as Plan A.

#Tolkien #For example: Orodreth? Low on both axes #Idril? Unarmed werewolf combat is the last resort but *oh Eru would she enjoy it* #San shoots the breeze

was talking abt this on twit but vace+sol is one of my fave exocolonist dynamics bc theres soooo many ways to take it like. theyre besties theyre worsties theyre going to kill each other in unarmed combat, sols got him on a childleash and is teaching him to stop biting every single person he knows, they flirt sickeningly and outrageously even when dating other people and they break up in every universe they start dating in unless they go into space together and die in a wormhole explosion, sols the entire reason he learns to be content planetside and find himself and peace and goes to therapy and if sol doesnt indulge his stupid manchild ego from the time theyre like fifteen to nineteen their entire rship can just crash and burn into absolute nothing, theyre jsut. theyer so much theyre so fucking funny. i love them

#sol+vace runs the entire gamut of Two People Who Grow As People From Just From The Luck Of Having Known Each Other to #You Two Are Fucking Perfect Together Don't Ever Involve Anyone Else In Your Toxic Mess #to Were It Not For The Laws Of This Land You Would Be Dead On The Fucking Pavement As We Speak #and that is soooo funny to me i adore them #ive mentioned this before but i do really like vace in the sense of i am putting him in the pringles jar and Shaking #i am not apologizing i am dropping him in there and going to fucking town #there are still chips inside #personal #i was a teenage exocolonist spoilers #teenexo stuff #besties worsties killing each other in unarmed combat etc etc

I got to moonrise towers the funniest way possible on a stream yesterday…i really really wanna play this in multiplayer eventually

#went to the road to baldurs gate where you get told to turn back but I kept going. no cutscene we were just immediately in jail and unarmed #nesihra jumped into the hole to the underground corpse pile #everyone else stayed and fought the guard while still in jail #nesihra made it out and entered thru the main entrance still unarmed and covered in blood #while pretending to be a normal true soul #shadowheart attempted escape but the hook horrors got her #nes decided to do single combat with the goblins and killed one+took her bow #then died in one hit from the other #astarion and karlach attempted escape and astarion almost made it after karlach bravely gave her life for him to live #but the hook horrors got him too. requiescat in pace #then I did every version of the sicko shadarkai guys quest thing #and then tried a bunch of poisons on my party members. they made almost all the saves so I just killed them #and then threw poison at myself till I died #text #alma’s liveblog tag #perso

fucking RIP to the Sussur Dagger that I lost forever at the very end of act 2 😭

#truly fucking devastated about this one lads I loved that thing #it was the ambush as you’re leaving to Baldur’s Gate #my weapons got knocked out of my hands #I managed to pick up my short sword but for whatever reason I had issues picking the dagger up in combat #so I just told myself I’d grab it after…… #but it’s like goddamn invisible on the ground and I just totally forgot about it #wasn’t until I was fighting in the astral prism that I realized I was still unarmed and then it hit me. just wanted to die right there. #I couldn’t reload a save because I haven’t cleared my save files so I’ve been overwriting them #pls tell me I can find a cooler dagger in act 3. give me some consolation. anyone. 😭

lowkey like to imagine fgo jiang ziya Is well versed in unarmed forms of combat, but in a very uh. pragmatic sense

#he doesn't like to! but if forced to take that form of combat as an option he doesn't hesitate to take extremely pragmatic measures to end #*end the fight quickly #lulas's randomness #lulas's headcanons #also ofc there's obviously far more skilled unarmed combatants in chaldea lmao #but like. I can't envision jiang ziya as the squishy wizard trope type At All #(esp given his second buster animation lol) #while at the same time I don't think it's something he Likes to do #he'd much rather be left to his fishing and his books I imagine #anyway rip most of the hc went into the tags but yea [tosses this out into the world] #jiang ziya (fate) #jiang ziya (fgo) #jiang ziya #taigong wang (fgo) #taigong wang #fgo #fate grand order #fgo headcanons

having a LOT of fun recreating my warden and hawke using the ttrpg system

#i just wish you could get more spells and talents #like you get 12 and 10 respectively #(technically you can get up to 24 spells with careful talent choices and 16 talents if you count specialisations) #(but when they include every dao spell AND a bunch from the other games AND a bunch created for the ttrpg……it’s a bit limiting!) #i wonder why they decided to make it only go up to level 20 #i get it for class powers but couldn’t they say like.. level as high as you want and alternate levels for spells and talents #and maybe start alternating levels for focuses or allow +4 focuses so you don’t just end up with every single focus #(not that there’s much risk of that. narrowing down my focus choices was just as hard) #idk it’s weird to limit something like that when you’re not restricted by video game mechanics #if i ever play this (which i hope i do) i’d want to extend it a bit #anyway. gotta sleep but tomorrow i’m gonna properly plan out abilities and preferred stunts too #(very confusing that they use ‘abilities’ as the name for what every other game calls ‘attributes’) #(but i DO like that there are 8. communication and perception are nice additions for a game that uses stats outside of combat) #(and god imagine how many focuses there’s be for cunning if they didn’t separate communication) #personal #da #darpg #i was doing like. 4d chess trying to plan out alim’s talents (some lore; spirit: creation; armor; spell expertise) #but then for hawke i was just like yeah give him max carousing and entropy and unarmed style. simple #(not actually. it was very hard rejecting other things. but i’m fine with what i’ve given him)

ok so I originally created rolland as a DE oc but I'm imagining how hed fit into the trigun world & I like it so much more. he starts a mercenary group so he can pay for his goth fashion sense. the group looks all rough & tumble & scary but rolly is an incredibly kind person & does not tolerate assholish behavior in his group so they're generally chill ppl & take a lot of jobs that involve helping ppl

#smudgy.txt #oc posting #hes not averse to killing though but he has Rules regarding that #like no killing an unarmed person #despite being an overall kind person hes a very strict leader & WILL kick a fools ass for stepping out of line #severity of the ass kicking depends on the severity of the offense #from just humiliating u by simply being better at combat to straight up sending u to the hospital #he is a kind person. but he is not a nice person!!! #rolland

[starlightcleric]

I think I avoided being ninjamanced by Lann by just refusing to spar with him? It at least was a lot nicer than breaking up with him or other ways of saying you're not interested.

#wrath of the righteous #crusader angelina #I had been kind of waffling on 'maybe I should try romancing Lann' #'maybe I should let it play out' #but then I got to that part and it's like #angelina is a bard that uses a shortbow #she is absolutely not going to go for unarmed melee combat #so I just said no and we just... moved on
