a young londo dreams of his death. for the second minvember prompt 'dream'

[mushroombossa]

There are a lot of joke moments on B5 that don't land too well for me, but my god how I wish Londo got his own sitcom or something. Some of his stuff makes me crack up even after he's deep into Shadow War shit

#i know peter jurasik was in random sitcom episodes but producers were dumb to never give him a major role #in my mind half of the drakh arc plays out like a curb episode where londo is trying too hard to hide the fact he's being controlled #that he causes all sorts of misunderstandings to happen #and g'kar should be a regular too

[branmer]

my only regrets for minvember are that I didn't finish choice or have time to do something interesting with the background for movement (I was struggling too much with drawing action for that, so that's something to work on for the future)

my fave pieces are belief, future and goodbye. I think mid month was where I hit my stride/an overarching aesthetic

#id also like to tweak the londo one in a few places #namely I'd like to create better framing for his dream (like put it inside a drakh eye perhaps 🤔) #and also i was never happy with their hands #but otherwise!!!

[regionbetween]

my dealer: got some straight gas😛🔥this strain is "the fall of centauri prime" 😳 you'll be zonked off your gourd

me: yeah whatever. i dont feel shit.

5 minutes later: dude i swear i just saw some drakh in the palace

my buddy vir pacing: the interstellar alliance is lying to us

Have you ever thought about the parallel that there were two people who physically violated Londo, humiliated him, and painfully intruded into his mind (yeah, strange it happened twice) - Drakh and G'Kar, the same one who later became his best friend? They did exactly the same things, but while Drakh wanted to control him, G'Kar wanted to hurt him(even if under the influence of Dust). Londo hated Shiv'kala for that, nothing more. But G'Kar was horrified by what he'd done(at least after Kosh. I think it's a fact that without him Londo wouldn't have survived). He turned himself in and paid for that. 

But THE most interesting and even ironic thing is that later he became his bodyguard, willingly, and Londo agreed. Yes, they've been through a lot before that, and he knew G'Kar better by this time and that he'd do the job, but STILL. That's a LOT of trust—letting him sleep next to him, protect his back and just be there constantly. And they did become friends. Wow.

You can point out that Londo did war crimes against his world and it wasn't easy for G'Kar either, and it's TRUE, but hear me out! That was painful and personal. At that moment he didn't even know that this particular centauri is the one responsible, he just wanted to take it out on someone. So yes, Londo made a lot of shitty decisions, but this was a brave and trusting moment for him. This situation was never mentioned again, but knowing G'Kar and the noble man he became, I BET he remembered that at least a couple of times. 

#Also. I still don't understand how the hell G'Kar was able to reach Londo's quarters #He was disoriented and not in his right mind #Mystery... #And poor Vir. The boy suffered for nothing #Well more like bc of his loyalty to him... But still he just was in the wrong place at the wrong time #londo mollari #g'kar #babylon 5 #DAMN. I actually didn't remember how dark and grafic this scene was.. #And his black eyes look horrifying

[nicnacsnonsense]

You know, I’m not sold on Londo’s decision to work with the Drakhs. I understand that they say that they’ve planted nuclear bombs all around the planet, but first of all, why should anyone believe that, and even if it is proven to be true, I still don’t know that Londo should have agreed.

Now, we don’t know how many bombs have been planted, but the regent does say that millions would die, which gives us an idea of the probable scope. And it is a huge scope, absolutely devastating, so I can understand why the regent, assuming he had been faced with the same threat, might have gone along with the Drakhs’ demands — and of course once the Keeper was planted he had no control anyway. But Londo is coming into this after the Drakhs have been puppeting the regent for a year and he can see the overwhelming amount of harm they’ve manage to orchestrate done in just that small amount of time. Millions dying would be a tragedy, but there are billions of people living on Centauri Prime, who are going to be under constant threat of danger as long as the Drakhs are running things.

I just feel like the better move is to obviously say what you need to say to get out of the conversation at the moment, then get off planet as soon as possible while avoiding getting a Keeper put on at all costs. Maybe also give all the info to G’Kar and get him off planet via a separate transport to help ensure the news makes it to B5 and the Alliance. And once you arrive back to the Alliance, you explain everything that happened and secure whatever help you can to free Centauri Prime from the Drakhs. Keeping it a secret and playing their game only serves them, which will only continue to make things worse in the long run.

(It’s weird too, because in s4 it seemed like they planted the Keeper on the Regent in his sleep, so why wouldn’t you just do that to Londo?)

AU: Zombie Apocalypse (47-48)

The Drakh plague was released into the general population three years before anyone knew about it. Over time it mutated, adapted, and found the best way to kill the world: by re-animating the dead and letting them kill each other. As the world descended into chaos, neutral safe zones were established on the borders of known territories. All but one of the Babylon safe zones have fallen.

Earth soldier John Sheridan now runs Babylon 5, the last neutral safe zone. Its former commander, Jeff Sinclair, left in search of a cure. No one has heard from him since. His arrival also comes with the return of Delenn, a former diplomat who was bitten three weeks before and went out into the wilderness to die. She returns unharmed.

As her own people both revere and fear her, Delenn grows closer to John and his increasing dissatisfaction with the military dictatorship overrunning the safe zones across his country. They walk together in the little squares of garden still thriving in the apocalypse, both far too afraid of getting close to someone once again.

Let's play the headcanon game...

Nidhogg miniature

#Nidhogg miniature series#

It simply gives you the right of way, and your enemy re-spawns immediately a little bit ahead of you. In Nidhogg contact with the opponent’s blade is always lethal, but death does not end the round. In fact, it is probably even more brutal and unforgiving than the two other games which did have a number of non-lethal or partial damage scenarios. Most importantly however Nidhogg offers the exact type of intensely tactical, but at the same time fast paced, visceral and bloody combat experience as I described above. When combined with directional keys these controls combine into a limited, but incredibly expressive range of possible movements that include leg swipes, drop kicks, throwing the sword at the opponent and etc. It does however retain a stance system allowing you to move your sword up and down between three discrete positions. Instead of Bushido Blade’s dazzling array of moves and fighting styles you get two buttons: attack and jump. It is reductionist both in it’s graphical style (that is very reminiscent of the classic Prince of Persia style), as well as it’s mechanics. I consider Nidhogg to be a hybrid love child of the fighting systems from these two games. To this day I consider it one of the best sword fighting simulators I have ever played. All of these features combined together into an incredibly complex fighting system, which played a lot more like chess than Tekken. It was of course far more advanced technically: it employed different stances (typically with the weapon held low, middle and high), an array of different weapons ranging from rapiers and katanas to spears and halberds, three different attacks that had different range and timing depending on stance and weapon, large open arenas with destructible terrain and active blocking mechanic that took positioning, stance, weapon durability and terrain obstalces into account. It had no combos or health bars, but instead followed a principles very similar to the ancient fencing techniques employed in Prince of Persia: all hits were either lethal or incapacitating and the combat revolved around active blocking, positioning and exploiting enemy’s mistakes to deliver the deadly blow. The game was known as Bushido Blade and it was built like a classic, button mashing fighting game, despite not being one at all. It wasn’t until the PS1 era before I experienced this sort of simplistic, expressive but at the same time fast and deadly combat system. Skewering the opponent in a single blow after noticing and exploiting an opening was far more satisfying than slowly chipping away at their hit points until they finally fell over. It rewarded recognizing patterns and anticipating enemy movements. Not only that, but the combat felt visceral and brutal. That single button did a lot, creating a lot of possible plays and approaches to each fight. Despite the simplicity it did provide a surprisingly complex system in which you had to watch your position with regards to the enemy, parry his blows and exploit his openings. The mechanics involved were incredibly easy, as they involved a single button to lunge or parry, and side-to-side movement.

#Nidhogg miniature series#

In fact, I kinda wished that the game was just that: a series of combat challenges instead of the endless, annoying platforming. I didn’t much care for the super hard platforming and the only reason I ever put up with it, was that there was a chance I will be able to fence some dudes on every level. Others are not.My favorite part of the original DOS version of Prince of Persia was the sword fighting. The battlegroup has been assigned to hunt down and destroy Drakh raiders. This has yet to tally the number of Star Fury and Thunderbolt flights that the Orion Battlegroup has been assigned. EAS Jon Pertwee, Apollo-class Bombardment Cruiser #030 EAS William Hartnell, Apollo-class Bombardment Cruiser #101 EAS Thomas Baker, Apollo-class Bombardment Cruiser #044 EAS Sylvester McCoy, Apollo-class Bombardment Cruiser #070 EAS Robert Moog, Delphi-class Advanced Scout #061 EAS Peter Davison, Apollo-class Bombardment Cruiser #050 EAS Martin Silenus, Hyperion-class Cruiser #191 EAS Jonathan Archer, Chronos-class Frigate #71 EAS James Clerk Maxwell, Marathon-class Advanced Cruiser #021 EAS Horace Glennon-Height, Nemesis-class Advanced Destroyer #033. EAS Foxhound, Chronos-class Frigate #87 EAS Fedmahn Kassad, Hyperion-class Cruiser #210 The Orion battlegroup consists of the following ships as of 2270.

There's definitely a full analysis on the scene with Kosh somewhere but LISTEN-

I read the books and want to discuss Londo. In the episode he said that saw nothing:

But actually he saw "shapeless light". And obviously we can joke that it's bc centauri have too many gods or bc, as we know, Londo doesn't truly believe in any of them, BUT! Nothing is ever simple with this tragic old alien war criminal.

When we hear that he saw nothing, we immediately think that it's bc he is beyond saving, that he's too corrupted by the Shadows and doesn't deserve to see Vorlon. This isn't true. But the version with light? Makes a lot of sense. There was darkness around him(Shadows) and in him(including his very poor choises) and later the keeper/Drakh literally in his head. But by knowing that he saw light we find out that he isn't entirely lost yet, he still believes in something good, even if he doesn't know in what exactly. Even when his decisions get more and more blood on his hands.

Also, this moment is important, because for some time the only good thing in his behaviour was his love for Adira (like, even his friendship with Vir have been through a lot).

"your heart is empty, Mollari"

"my soul, if I even still have it"

Idk, I just think this is a very nice detail~
