I MADE A NEW CROSS STITCH PATTERN!!!!
It’s a Snull! A snail with a skull instead of a shell! The snail is based on the Fire Snail and has a domestic cat skull on his back
I saw a pattern with a human skull and really likes the idea but I haven’t seen anything similar with an animal skull so I made it with a domestic cat skull!

I am seeing lots of snails on the balcony this year (lots of rain in the last weeks). Maybe I should get a Norrathian Fire Snail to play with them.

Jade Mountain Academy students
#1 - Seawing chapter
Part one of my attempt to draw all the students of Jade Mountain Academy. Keep in mind that a lot of these have virtually no usable character information available beyond one or two short quotes, especially the poor sods in the copper and quartz winglets. That means some of this data is going to be made up and will likely conflict with any established popular headcanons. Just trying to make sense of this for myself.
With that out of the way:
Turtle, Prince
Tribe - Seawing
Winglet - Jade
Color - Jade green
Relatives - Princess Tsunami (sister), Princess Anemone (sister)
Clawmate(s) - Umber (Mudwing)
Favorite subject - Literacy
Least fav. subject - Exercise
Physical characteristics - luminous markings: large, polygonal, interlocking; royal wing markings; average size, slightly overweight
Other characteristics - socially subdued, low confidence
Pike
Tribe - Seawing
Winglet - Gold
Color - Lapis blue
Relatives - Barracuda (cousin)
Clawmate(s) - Bigtail (Nightwing), Flame (Skywing)
Favorite subject - Cultural Exchange
Least fav. subject - Science
Physical characteristics - luminous markings: small to medium size, jagged; minor scarring; unusually small stature, lean and wiry
Other characteristics - unusual attachment to Princess Anemone, socially aggressive (suggest counseling), prone to self-injury (suggest monitoring)
Anemone, Princess
Tribe - Seawing
Winglet - Silver
Color - Baby blue
Relatives - Princess Tsunami (sister), Prince Turtle (brother)
Clawmate(s) - Ostrich (Sandwing)
Favorite subject - Exercise
Least fav. subject - History
Physical characteristics - rings of petal-shaped patches around eyes; royal wing markings; pink accents in wings and webs; small stature, average weight
Other characteristics - animus wielder (necessitates close behavioral monitoring), socially domineering (possible maladaptive coping response, suggest counseling)
Snail
Tribe - Seawing
Winglet - Copper
Color - Seafoam green
Relatives - none on site
Clawmate(s) - Alba (Icewing), Mindreader (Nightwing)
Favorite subject - Exercise
Least fav. subject - History
Physical characteristics - curly horns; luminous markings sharp and vibrant; strong hindlegs, stature and build otherwise average
Other characteristics - fastest swimmer
Barracuda
Tribe - Seawing
Winglet - Quartz
Color - Violet blue
Relatives - Pike (cousin)
Clawmate(s) - Mightyclaws (Nightwing)
Favorite subject - did not disclose
Least fav. subject - did not disclose

AC6 is the perfect game, simply for creating, and subsequently letting me murder, V.II Snail.
Never has a boss kill in a Fromsoft game felt more rewarding.

MORE Armored Core 6 Thoughts - The Corporate Military Leaders
After coming to the conclusion that Armored Core is my game of the year, I've been thinking needlessly deeply about many little bits of the game. I wanted to put some thoughts out there about the Corporate Military Leaders (V.II Snail & G1 Michigan). More specifically what makes them so different in how the player perceives them -- How their corny characterization makes them all the more engrossing. Spoilers to follow.
Michigan
• Massive blowhard military type, speaks with all the bravado of your stereotypical US army drill sergeant.
• Despite this, he is somewhat endearing. He's still a shill for Balam, but he has a clear level of respect for those under him, and grants even more respect where it's clearly deserved.
• Knows all his underlings by name.
• Will chastise his own men for not showing you enough respect on the mission where you are expected to kill him and his entire force. Seems to take it well despite what's happening.
• Despite his position placing him as one of the defcato villains, there is very little direct animosity to muster for him. By the point in the story where you can decide to kill him, Balam has already lost the race, and Michigan has shown very little ill will towards you personally (even if you've previously betrayed the Redguns).
---
(Quick note on V.I Freud: While Freud is Technically a higher rank than Snail, he's clearly turned over military leadership to Snail, which makes Snail more of the de-facto face of Arquebus. Freud's just an ace who shows up to have a good fight, and otherwise doesn't make much of a show. Which, yeah, that's fine.)
Snail
• The Immediate difference here is that Snail is consistently depicted as conceited and selfish. Where Michigan is on first-name basis with basic underlings, Snail is verbally disgusted with the thought of acknowledging anything or anyone that isn't directly and immediately beneficial to him.
• And that's great because this game ABSOLUTELY benefits from having someone that's so easy to hate. Snail treats everyone around him, including his ranked allies, and even Freud, like dirt.
• He's even worse to you in the sense that he's convinced his type of space-cyber-lobotomy is so much newer and shinier than yours and makes him objectively superior to you. Like calm down dude this isn't a brain damage contest.
• This makes the Liberator of Rubicon Ending immensely satisfying in a way the other 2 endings just don't compare to. The game has spent around 15-ish hours having this guy be a gigantic douche in nearly every line he speaks, and then he shows up to fight you when realistically he doesn't even have to considering the circumstances.
• And so with Rusty's theme blaring in the background, he has an angry breakdown while you send him and his Balteus 2: Scuffed Laser Edition™ directly to the shadow realm. It is the most satisfying boss kill in the game.
