It is not lost on me that Charlie and Vaggie were initially not doing great against Adam and Lute...and then proved Carmilla was so fucking right.

Vaggie is absolutely FUCKED here. She's been in this position before, with Lute looming over her spitting vitriolic judgment, Vaggie's blood on the ground. Back then, she couldn't stop Lute from taking away her wings, her eye, her home, and her purpose. But now? She has more than that; she has love, because she has Charlie.

When Lute threatens Charlie, everything changes. Vaggie fucks her up immediately...and shows "mercy" knowing that being forced to live with part of herself gone (her arm was CRUSHED, no way was she getting it back), the shame of defeat, and the knowledge that someone she's been looking down on so completely is responsible for it all is a fate MUCH worse than death for Lute.

And Charlie? Charlie's insanely powerful but has no clue how to use her power to its full potential because she's never had a reason or desire to fight until now. Even when she's being strangled, when she's pissed-off and vengeful, she can't really tap into that power. But then Adam comes at her dad and is about to catch him off-guard.

He's about to hurt—possibly kill—her dad, who she's finally building a good relationship with; her dad, who just showed up to protect her despite the risk of politically turning this battle from an act of defiance by a willful princess to an act of full-on rebellion by the King of Hell himself. She reacts on instinct to protect her father and stops a hit that destroyed Alastor's shield. And she does it effortlessly.

Carmilla was right. For these ladies, at least, the need to protect someone they love, no matter what kind of love it is, is exactly what rallies them to come at enemies who were just kicking their asses and absolutely dominate.

#hazbin hotel #vaggie #charlie morningstar #chaggie #protective women being protective #the way they each always IMMEDIATELY reacted upon realizing the other was in danger in that battle was just <3 #and lucifer and charlie's father-daughter bond?? love it #also reminds me of when charlie was about to wreck val for his abuse of angel #and when vaggie was ready to try and impale the fucking radio demon to protect charlie #and how charlie forgot anything else existed on the battlefield whenever she saw vaggie in danger

Apropos of nothing, here's my personal headcanon in regards to Mario and Luigi's surname.

Now, it's been generally announced and accepted that the brothers' last name is "Mario," shackling them with the somewhat awkward full names of "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario." My take on this is that the family's original last name was "Marianetti" (likely coming from the more common "Marinetti"). This name was changed to "Marionetti" when the boys' grandmother came over from Italy. (A common occurrence in record keeping at immigration at the time. Someone probably had bad handwriting and smudged a pencil stroke somewhere. It happened in my family for sure).

In Brooklyn, their father went by the last name "Marionetti," which ended up shortened to just "Mario," as oftentimes he would be addressed by his surname only. (Think, "Hey, Mario! Get over here!" as opposed to "Hey, Marionetti! Get over here!")

So, the boys are born and get their names. (Their father's middle name was Mario, and so our Mario, being the oldest, inherits his father's middle name as his first name. Luigi's name maybe comes from the middle name of some uncle who is long out of the picture).

So we have "Mario Marionetti" and "Luigi Marionetti." Which, their surname being a mouthful, gets shortened to "Mario" more often than not, just like their father. And thus we end up with "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario," culminating in the "Mario Brothers."

#hello there #this is based on zero science and mostly a way for me to explain the weird last name thing #i also came up with middle names for the boys based wholly on how i feel they sound and look written down #mario's middle name would be alphonso and luigi's would be giovanni #but i just looked up the meaning of the names and they're PERFECT for the boys #alphonso being “noble and ready to battle” #and giovanni being “gift from god” which would fit with luigi being the second younger twin #also if these definitions are off forgive me and google hahahaha #but the bros don't use those middle names in real life except to annoy each and embarrass each other #anyway enjoy that little tidbit while i go back to work

KakaIru + Those Four Guys From Naruto

I'll assume you've seen the original versions with the canon couples. (I'd link it but have no idea what the OG really is). Now it's the gae version.

#kakairu #koteizu #Genrai #Naruto #Those two guys from Naruto #those two guys from naruto but it's not those two guys #genma shiranui #namiashi raidou #hagane kotetsu #izumo kamizuki #the funniest bit of this is that izumo's screencap isn't edited. Demon Possessed Izumo canon #Also funny that literally 2 seconds after that he's already putting his anger behind because he had a DUO battle tactic idea #Izumo: *is ready to falcon punch Kotetsu into another dimension after embarrassing him in front of 2 ANBU jonin* #Also Izumo: *includes his buddy his friend his sun and stars into his tactic ideas regardless because Friendship Means Friend* #Izumo is the embodiment of 'Just because I'm mad at you doesn't mean I stopped caring' #Also Izumo is currently on duty in that scene + dealing with Ko's lazy ass + just embarrassed himself in front of 2 respected jonin -> #and STILL had an idea for a killer top tier tactic right there. Brilliant baby. Smart boi. Intelligent cutie. Creative little muffin. I lov #Also this is in no way a diss to iruka. Iruka bby. Iruka my boy. Iruka my heart & soul since naruto 1st aired. i love u bby. #Kotetsu in canon: Wants to fight Izumo. Kotetsu as soon as Izumo wants to fight: NOPE *runs* #also gonna post the not gay version for the non shipper side of fandom. Not like I have more than 4 followers but in case it makes it out #It's just. I've seen The 4 Guys being shipped in PLENTY KakaIru fics. So I assumed someone might enjoy this lmao #also because i ship these 3. Everything gay I ship. I love me some non toxic masculine intimate friendship but I also love my gay sorry

Outfits of the Guard from an older fic of mine, Tangerine and Roc. Supposed to be a bit of a mix of styles from Central Asia in the late 15th century as they go about their travels, with a little battle-ready touch.

#siggy draws #the old guard #tog #tog fanart #yusuf al kaysani #nicolo di genova #quynh #andromache of scythia #kaysanova #andromaquynh #*director's commentary in the tags wee woo: #none of these fits are exactly what i envisioned when i wrote the fic but they're generally what they should have been wearing #y'know like some layers come off and some come on throughout the fic ofc #does joe look battle-ready? absolutely not. #he wants to be fashionable! <3 #this was the first time i've really attempted to draw embroidery and patterns by hand and it shows lol... #anyway. joe gets the snazzy main-character colours and nicky gets all the brown because he's nicky #also he looks so tired because he is lol. let him rest. or not. let him not rest idk. #i should have put more effort in and drawn different version of their outfits with weapons too but alas #quynh should have a nicely embroidered quiver and a bit of armour. they should all be more armed up -- #-- after meeting the kazakh settlement in the first chapter. but can anyone blame me for not wanting to draw all the weapons... #anyway i miss them and i miss this fic and i miss writing like this ;_; <3

I don't know why, but the first thing I thought was "y'all about to have a rap battle"?

#I wanna see that #a 9 v 1 rap battle #midoriya probably already got it given how fast he can talk and articulate his thoughts #bro probably would say the meanest things #look at him you know he got some of the hardest lines ready to say at any moment #en too i know he probably does too #he looks nice but i bet he can be an absolute troll #... i just thought about something #just kiya's thoughts #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #bnha memories #bnha spoilers #afo #all for one #ofa #one for all

I was thinking about WOL outfits and what not, so here's a question:

And to elaborate on the difference between option 1 and option 2, a brief explanation of my interpretations under the cut:

Illusion magic only masks the true appearance of an item, bending the light aether around the item to make it look different to the naked eye. No physical properties of the armour changes. It maintains its original dimensions and weight. If your WOL was wearing full plate armour then glamoured it to something more revealing, if someone tried to stab an exposed area, their knife would stop on impact of the concealed armour.

Transformation magic will fully alter the physical appearance of the armour into the applied glamour. It will take on the shape and structure of the WOL's desired form, but the properties of the materials used will be maintained. The high grade metal of the armour will be altered to a state where it was like a woven thread. The item would provide the same degree of protection as the original where it physically exists in its glamoured state. If your WOL glamoured their plate armour into a the street wear top, their actual abdomen could be pierced by weapon. Because this is magic you could fudge the physics if you so choose or say there's a secondary spell involved; but I'd imagine that if the transformation was completely lossless, your glamoured item will weight the same amount as the un-glamoured version. (Otherwise it would be more like a transmutation which is a lossy conversion and not reversible. The WOL turned their new savage tier BIS armour into a hempen camise and lost 95% of the material in the process. When they dispel the glamour they have that hempen camise's amount of the original armour piece.)

That's my take on the two options! I don't know if either of them really contradict any canon in-game explanations to the glamour system tbh. It's been so long since I picked up the intro quest and the only time I remember glamours being used as a plot device it was in the ARR Hildebrand quest line (I think the very end or within the coliseum arc, either way I'm not doing all that just to check and see that it says nothing of note)

#ffxiv #ffxiv poll #wolqotd #For Arsay her glams are what shes actually wearing! #Tataru will either be the one crafting the outfit for Arsay making sure its made out of strong materials #or she will modify what Arsay brings to her fortifying it and making it adventure-ready #Arsay has simply gotten very good at not getting stabbed in the gut #She needs to be fast on her feet and nimble at all times so she has to stick to lightweight gear of durable woven cloths and treated leathe #She also uses glamours on her skin and for that case its illusion magic #She's covering up her many arcane geometry tattoos and a whole lot of scars from battle #If you were to run your hand over her skin you'd feel the scar tissue easily

i think it is also rlly interesting the way madara always projects his rage only onto hashirama ... like when izuna dies. and the clans meet on the battlefield again. madara goes apeshit but NOT at tobirama. his rage is very pointedly directed at hashirama .. even tho tobirama before asks him abt what has happened to izuna. madara says that he died from his injuries and then fires up his susanoo and attacks hashirama .. while screaming his name. like ... something something violence is an outlet for him and a way for him to make his feelings be heard and understood by the other party. and he wants hashirama to understand him. whether tobirama understands him or gets what is coming to him or whatever for killing his brother doesnt matter at all. all he wants is for hashirama to see his rage and his grief .. and understand what he feels

#also when tbrm makes an attempt to stab him after he's lost the battle #and is on the ground defenseless and hsrm stops tbrm from killing him #he doesnt say 'oh whatever let him go thru w it' #since he's very obviously ready to die here no he says 'hsrm just get it over with. if u are the one who kills me. i can go in peace' .... #something something he feels so connected to him and has only eyes for him and wants to communicate abt everything ONLY w him #tbrm is literally in-fucking-visible here sdgdfdgdgs even tho He killed his brother #the only time tbrm gains any relevance for him. is when he realizes that he poses a threat to his clan #later after they've founded the village #before he does NOT care lol #hashirama #madara #posts #hsmd
