Reposted from @holistically_be ✨Don’t get me wrong feeling like you’re failing, i know first hand, is an extremely uncomfortable feeling. However, what doing Shadow work has taught me is to sit with my feelings and embrace them more. It gives me time to digest and reflect on what has happened. And more often than not , I realise a few things : - how much i’ve learned from it (the “failing”) - there are still plenty of aspects that I have succeeded in - it is not always a reflection of my work, involvement or my intentions - and there is more to life than worrying about something that is already behind me. Again, i know it is uncomfortable 🤍 But let’s learn step by step how to navigate these truths 👁 So let’s start now 🙏🏾 Any thoughts ? ⬇️ #shadowwork #powerwithin #shadowworker #soulcalling #selflovemovement #ascending #awakenedwoman #lightenergy #centered #universaltruth #selfempowerment #raiseyourvibration #theuniversehasyourback https://www.instagram.com/p/CdeG9Z6PQJb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You are THE Maxi expert to me! And all of your f/os really-agksnfjdn But Maxi and Kyohei are always the first to come to mind!

YEAAAAAAAHHH!!! I'm so happy to hear it aksjajsj my guy!!!!

#glad to hear that i'm a k.yohei expert too! im especially good at kissing him on the mouth methinks- #but m.axi 👉👈 hehe looks like being a soulcal fan for my whole life really pays off! #answered #ash trying to go one conversation without mentioning s.oulcalibur: challenge level impossible

[superdoggie5000]

im glad i can still be into fighting games technically without having the reflexes/motor skill for them, i always felt a bit bad the chemistry upstairs kept me from being able to muscle memory combos and such, i still dont get to chat about Everything but still,,,, love my funny guilty gears and street fighters and whatever else i get into watching

#i wanted to make fun of tekken a little but i Actually played soulcal so it doesnt feel fair for me to throw a rock at my neighbor

[oofuri2003]

i need tekken 8 to come out not because im a tekkenhead but bc then bamco can start on soulcal 7 👍🏻

#sorry for being a soulcal fan it IS my fault

[thisgodwontforgiveyou]

at the end of the day i do fundamentally prefer the way strive feels no matter what just because it reminds me of 3d fighting games

#the sheer impact and danger of some moves and the speed rounds can go at really makes me think of soulcal or tekken #it would be nice to have a little more complexity but thats mostly just me getting bored with being bad and wanting new toys to bat around

[laikaflash]

In regards to the SoulCal ask I have start with number 1!

(1. How were you introduced to the series?)

My first actual glimpse of it? A long time ago (mid-2012 more or less), my sister got SC5 mostly for the character creation, if memory serves. I wasn't into fighting games at the time, so I was kind of like Huh, 'kay... Shame our Xbox 360 up and died years later, as those things did.

In hindsight, it might be telling that I don't remember seeing her play story mode.

“Soulcaller Delmar…WHY is my face plastered across the sky overlooking the city?”

“Er, well, you see, Your Majesty…”

The geistcaller balked at his queen’s pointed question. Marchesa had no patience for Delmar’s stammering, however, and continued to press the issue, pointing up at her giant likeness staring down at them both through a skylight.

“I’m waiting, Delmar.”

“Well, you were saying the other day, you wanted to someday keep a prying eye over the entire city. I figured you meant figuratively-”

“And yet my FACE is UP THERE!”

“W-Well! Like I was about to say, I still wanted to cover all my bases, so I summoned some of the spirits I protect. I told them all to glow different colors and fly up so they looked like you from far off!”

Marchesa blinked blankly at Delmar, then looked up again at her face. This time she squinted and saw that her image was indeed comprised of glowing wispy spirits. This did little to relieve her temper, however, as she turned back to glare daggers at Delmar once more.

“That has to be the most-”

“Brilliant?” Delmar suggested, hoping beyond hope.

“-idiotic idea I’ve ever heard! Recall them, at once!”

“I…yes, Your Grace.”

Delmar hung his head in shame, but not before putting two fingers to his mouth and giving a shrill whistle. The spirits dispersed from their positions in the sky, leaving the air above the city Marchesa-free once more.

“Apologies again, my Queen. I merely thought that, with how…er…”

Marchesa narrowed her eyes. “‘Egotistical,’ Delmar? Is that perchance the word you’re seeking?”

“Er, yeah.”

“Hmph!” Marchesa turned her nose up at the suggestion. “This flattery does nothing to help you here, you know.”

“I know,” Delmar sighed.

Alright, if Loki's off limits, what about Gunmar vs. Mirage?

*Puts on Death Battle hat*

Now this is one that we can look at with some science. (Or at least a lot of googling)

Gunmar the Black, Trollkind's greatest threat and tyrant.

vs

Mirage the Soulcaller. Travelling bard and former adventurer.

After discussing the feats of Gunmar with @katanamasako and @xdeusxmachinax, (Since Mirage is my character. I know what she do.) the math was done, the numbers were crunched and simulations were made. It's time for a

DEATHBATTLE!!!

Centuries ago, when humans and trolls started fighting each other for control over the Earth, it created the War for the Surface Lands, and there were many deaths. This led the first Heartstone to rot from within, and Gunmar was born from the corruption and darkness. Joining under the warchief, Orlagk, Gunmar began his bloody conquest.

He killed man and troll alike with his inhuman strength and seeming indestructibility from kings of other troll tribes to human settlements. It was only when he betrayed his Gummgumm leader that he finally took damage. Losing an eye to Orlagk, and gaining the sword Decimaar.

Later, Decimaar would get an improvement from Morgana, and the ability to warp the minds of those with weaker wills than Gunmar to be his eternal slave unless entering an area that cancels magic.

Even after being sealed in the Darklands for centuries, Gunmar retained his ambition and hunger for power. Only he was thwarted by the Trollhunter. Merlin's chosen warrior with the power of the eclipse blade. Said to the only weapon able to deal Gunmar a mortal wound.

Gunmar's strength and indestructible nature are by far his strongest boons. He can easily toss cars and boulders around, leap through floors of a museum and through the ceiling, and as Fish pointed out, if he can get a hold of an opponent, they can be eaten in mere seconds. He's also much faster than the average human, being able to go speeds of 30 mph at least.

His weaknesses on the other hand are harder to parse. He retains the standard troll weakness of sunlight turning him to stone. Music based magic also seems to work on him via Douxie in the Wizards series. The claim that "only Eclipse can deal him a mortal wound" is especially odd given that Orlagk with Decimaar has caused him injury and even Excalibur. So it's potentially that only potent magically enhanced weaponry can hurt him, and the eclipse thing is more of a prophesy than a definitive.

===============

In a world of Gods and Titans, Mirage was born to struggling musician and cursed human father, and a tiefling mother with decent magic potential, Mirage grew up poor, but never unloved by her parents. They taught her how to play the violin, do simple magic spells, and survive in a world that looked unfavorably to those with her and her mother's infernal ancestry. Her parents also did their best to keep the family curse from affecting her life too much.

Should a member of the family approach a spirit of the dead, the spirit would latch onto them, and transfer all the feelings of sorrow and sadness onto the family member, that they experienced in their lifetime. Such a vast amount of negative emotion lead many of the family to suicide, and unfortunately for Mirage, her parents were no exception.

Now forced on her own at 15, Mirage eventually left her hometown to find a cure for the curse a few years later. Travelling with a Cleric of Hades looking for misguided souls, a royal guard turned mercenary, and a druid who set the world ablaze with her charm.

Mirage initially focused on support, but soon learned her skill in illusions and fire based magic. Using her father's violin, she played songs that confused foes, healed her allies, burned enemies in hellfire, create an illusory dragon that cannot be killed, but does damage like a real dragon. She even has spells to grow plants for harvest, turn invisible, teleport, and even change a creature or object into something else completely and permanently.

The burning grew even stronger when after set to do a favor for the sun God Helios, Mirage's fire magic was able to ignore a creatures natural resistance to fire. She could burn through magic armor, fire dragons, and even other flames itself.

Her adventuring days came to an end during a climactic battle with a cult of Typhon, the scourge of the Olympic gods. The cult brought Typhon back as a demigod and due to loopholes in the laws of the divine, the Gods couldn't fight him to stop his continued rampage. Not directly anyway. Mirage's group was gifted boons, and Mirage's was the Aegis Armor. Armor worn by a younger Athena, and able to defend against mental effects and blows that would kill the average human. Typhon was defeated, but Mirage was left alone as the sole survivor of her party. She retired from adventuring after that battle, but still travelled, and spread her songs across the land.

Mirage's strengths are... Many. She's a versatile spellcaster, her fire spells bypass immunity, Athena's armor make it very difficult to actually hit her, she can heal, evade, teleport and more.

Her weaknesses are that she's still mortal. If her opponent can overpower her defenses, she doesn't have much to stand up to attacks. She was never the muscle of any group she was in. Also important to note, that many of her good illusion spells take time to cast, only one can be active at a time, and while teleportation is nice, she's no faster than a normal human, and by the rules of death battle, no escape allowed.

Speaking of, the results of the fight. I don't have the time or budget to do an animation, so let's just say the result and how that was decided.

===============

Mirage wins.

Don't get me wrong, Gunmar is a potent fighter and physically powerful, but from the talks with Fish, his most powerful feat was throwing a car. As fast as it was going, the joules needed for that feat was ~450,000. There might be more, but let's look at Mirage's feat of tackling Typhon.

Typhon was once at least on par with Zeus, who can throw literal thunderstorms at people he doesn't like. The average strength of a thunderstorm according to google is 10^15 joules of energy, so this is the benchmark.

Typhon was turned into a demigod sort of being to free him from the bindings he was under after his initial rampage. Let's say an eighth of the benchmark, and divided again for the 4 members of her party. (The ones that actually fought Typhon that is.) Which gives us a total of 31,250,000,000,000 Joules of energy. That's roughly 31,250,000 sticks of dynamite.

Yeah... That's a bit more powerful. She would need to beat that to do damage to him, and despite not being the main attacker, she was still able to damage Typhon.

Gunmar's combat experience is also something to note. He's fought wizards before and would know how to face them, but Mirage's versatility and skill is something Gunmar has shown no perfect counter for. Even if he reaches Mirage, she has several skills that would allow her to avoid harm or even misdirect him. Hell, she could turn him into a mouse and teleport him into the deepest part of the ocean. He's a literal rock monster and would sink. Either drowning if he can, or just unable to move by the crushing weight of the ocean.

For that matter, she could just teleport them both to a location in sunlight. She knows a thing or two from her travels, and a troll's aversion to sunlight is well documented in most realities where trolls exist.

And finally, the Eclipse blade. As stated before, magic weapons like Excalibur can pierce his indestructible defenses. Hell, he's been winded by being tackled or having a large rock thrown at him. I'm 90% sure it's less of conditional immortality, and more a prophesy of what is needed to finally end him. And thanks to Helios, Mirage is a magic weapon effectively with her fire magic. Bypassing immunity, both natural and magical. Should it not be conditional immortality, Gunmar would be literal toast.

TL;DR, Against this Mirage, Gunmar's feats were just an illusion of grandeur.

🌙 hi mateo :>

cell i remember when we first became mutuals literally i was so so excited to meet another soulcal liker (and selfshipper too! like what)! ur imagination and passion amaze me - u come across as someone who is just endlessly inspired…like, even when art block/life/etc bites you u end up biting back twice as hard and thats beautiful. just a very sweet and radiant person i think. 🌟🌻

a little biased but caelina+pyrrha are so special.. two halves of the same heart their relationship feels like a catharsis both for u and them and i really think they were born for each other

#mail

[calamitysymphony1]

the fact that the soulcal tumblr fandom is still alive is baffling to me

[shodansbabygirl]

I like tekken significantly better than soulcal but. The soulcal characters are waaaaay more fuckable than the Tekken roster

#Kazuya Mishima Is not fuckable #Voldo? Voldo is a literal gimp

[silverselfshippingchaos]

happy bday ash! i hope u enjoy ur cake ^_^/ 🍰

how does maxi celebriate ur bd? i know leixia and the kids would probably plan something special for u <3 (@goldenshrine)

thank you!!!

Hehe I'm always so excited to talk about my special guy! Maxi just really wants to make her feel special (he always does such a great job at that) and spend some quality time with her. After the events leading up to sc5, time is the one thing they haven't really had together.

Maxi would like to get her a good meal, take her out for a nice day out in town, or maybe take her out stargazing at night. After all, their first kiss more than 20 years before sc5 was under the stars. Ash handles most of the cooking for the kids, so I think that Leixia and the gang would try to make her food! Xiba eats like half of it while they're prepping, Natsu is ready to nap, and Leixia is determined! Maxi is very serious about making sure his partner has a good day.

Also, if possible, he'd like to get some time away from the kiddos for a bit too. Just some time to chill with his girlfriend. Ash has changed a lot by SC5 and I think what they both want is just some time to enjoy each other's company.

(Maxi also enjoys the thought of a romantic walk at night because he gets to drape his jacket over her shoulders. One of his favorite sights ever. Ash always playfully scolds him about never wearing a shirt, but he just shrugs.

"I mean, hey, it's not like you don't enjoy the view."

Ash can't deny that she does.)

Overall he just wants her to take a break from the road and the world and just love her for a bit. He also teases a little about how she's getting old. It's funny, since although Maxi is older than she is, guess whose aging slows down by SC5- Ash still very much looks like a woman in her 40s.

It's a fun day and Ash absolutely loves it! She couldn't stand the kids at first, but over time she's really grown to care for them. She's their Cool Aunt figure LMAO. And to be able to spend her birthday with the love of her life? She doesn't have the words to describe how it makes her feel.

One thing to note about SC5 era Ash is just how different she is than her previous appearances. It makes sense since she's nearly 20 years older than she was in SC4, but she's almost more bitter in terms of personality? Her temper is shorter, and she's just... tired. Tired of the cards she's been dealt. She was bleeding out and watching during Maxi's SC4 ending (Maxi touches the scar on her back from Astaroth a lot), her friends are off doing their own thing, and now she's stuck playing auntie to these dumbass teenagers trying to save the world after losing her lover for a decade?! Seriously?!

And so a big part of her character is just her becoming a bit more happy and cheery again, more similar to what we know Ash's character to be. She's quite smiley on her birthday. She just can't help it!

To be able to set down her sword for a while and spend the day with the people that she loves makes her so happy.

(But also, even after all these years, being with Maxi and holding his hand, hearing his laugh, kissing his cheek, kissing his lips... Everything. It all makes her heart flutter so much. They were both so different now, her having gone through everything and Maxi having the whole Soul Edge situation, but their love and understanding for each other hasn't changed.)

#he also insists on carrying her back to bed at night and kissing her all over akdjajdjqj dork!! (i love him) #but yeah. they just have a nice chill road and quit the traveling for a bit just to relax. and.. in a certain someone's case... #to make out with his girlfriend- #ash rambles 💚 #me personally though? i have some work and some studying to do today but! i will play a couple rounds of soulcal today aksjajdj #just to see my beautiful guy #then it's back to the x.enoblade grind- sorry but this crush is all i can think about!!! silly little d.unban.. #also. back to the idiot. he always laughs a little when he kisses ash's lips. says that no cake can be as sweet as her #it's so cheesy and ash groans (she's blushing) #natsu groans and tells them to get a damn room #sorry kiddo- #thank you for the ask!!! #answered #goldenshrine #i love him so much! i know i bully him a lot but he's so special to me <3 also hes so attractive- #real talk though. i have Thoughts about sc5 #but... oh my god... i'm not saying that sc5 maxi is the most attractive one.. but... thats exactly what im saying- #he's very charming when he's older #oh who am i kidding he's always charming- certainly charmed me! #thank you again <3
