#under the gauntlet

[maomango-doodle]

Jazz puns, am I right?

Some random doodles

#trigun #trigun maximum #midvalley the hornfreak #hoppered the gauntlet #shinxo art #midvalley knows how to throw hands i just know it #like he'd rather not to (hands are precious for a musician) but i bet he could knock out a dude if he's rly not in the mood for any bs #on the OTHER HAND it's an absolute delight to imagine he's actually incapable of fistfighting anyone and resorts to #running away when sylvia overheats or he runs out of bullets #hmm food for thought #the doodles under the cut are just me going “i need to draw some vague angst” and “i need to cook midvalley with bbq sauce” #cw blood

oh, but i'm outside, and waiting to see: a glow in the snow, coming closer to me

[tumblr fucked the quality open in another tab]

GRAHAHHAHHHH THIS TOOK SO FUCKING LONG. GOD. BUT THEY MAKE ME SOOO ILL. I love you paladin i love you black gauntlet smothers flame i love you longing across traversable distances. fun fact i was intending to put echo particles since effigy's echo is like Right above her but it was too cluttery/didnt fit well. but know he is there. forced to watch his closest friend succumbing to this fate

crossing starscapes is co owned with @drake-dragon

something so fucked up to me about the only glow in the snow being the pearl- the manifestation of gauntlets unending rage as she has lost her mind to animal instincts. she knows she lost so much. she can't remember any of the joyous memories- the laughter, hell, their names! but she lost them. and she promised herself in the past she would not forget. and she hasn't. And she is fucking angry.

Merr Chrispmab!

I have the “dragon” tag followed so your comic got inserted at random into my day! Just wanted to let you know I loved it! Looking forward to seeing more!

thank you!!! I've reached the post-holiday crash, so once I recover, I'm hoping to get started on some new stuff!

#christmas really is a gauntlet when you have relatives under the age of 6 #happy holidays and thank you for your message! #it's the best kind of christmas gift!

every day i think about the ansur plot in act 3 could've actually had emotional weight if larian studios gave a shit about wyll. damn.

#like the whole gauntlet is about expressing the type of heroism that wyll has striven for his entire life. #the way the quest is so prototypical in it's fairy tale sensibility of the honest and true hero awaking a dragon under the city and - #saving the day and he goes through this whole gauntlet that's a test of how well he ascribes to the ideals of balduran and his father - #and everything he ever clung to to validate himself to himself after being coerced into mizora's deal as a 17 year old kid and then - #he succeeds! he passes the tests! only to find that ansur (literally named answer) is an undead abomination you have to put down #like it's SO SAD. and to me a big part of his story is accepting who HE is. seeing himself outside of his deal w mizora or what his father #wanted him to be and the fact that wyll isn't allowed to have a big emotional reaction to the ansur situation is so annoying #in fact wyll doesn't EVER get to have an emotional reaction to anything bc larian studios doesn't care enough to flesh his story out - #despite giving him one of the most interesting ideas for a character in the game! like act 3 should be WYLL'S act! he's so tied into - #everyone important in that act that it's actually a crime that he's sidelined the most there and he doesn't have enough vocal fans - #that larian studios will ever care enough to patch his story or add anything like they did for karlach or astarion. it's so dumb. #and it sucks that the writers don't recognize wyll's abuse bc his abuser is a hot devil lady. what she does to him is sick. god. #anyway. whatever. #baldur's gate 3 #my posts #.txt

i think fear and hunger should be renamed Rage & Quit

#MAJE #i had heard the gauntlet was difficult but this shit is ridiculous #sens fortress who? caelid whomst??? they have nothing on this #ok maybe sens but i thought sens was fun. if you died once you remember where the traps and the enemies are you're good to go #the gauntlet in f&h is similar to sens because it's full of traps. the thing is. it also relies on sheer fucking luck. or RNG if you will #i want to die. the floor crumbled under me and i had to fight the two headed crow mauler- somehow survived- was getting close to the end #AND THEN I GOT CRUSHED BY A GIANT BOULDER 😭

#i think ive talked ab it before but imlike. actually obsessed w the way lost july was revealed #how hoppered and meryl are subjected to vashs first hand account and how hoppered begs and pleads not 2 see it #for he knows whats ab 2 happen.ITS JST SO GOOD.. the tension between their screaming and panicking / vash being legatoed under the elevator #and the caps of knives' confrontation / the angel arm / the ppl of july #interspersed throughout #i especially love lovelove the way it affects meryl too and i WISHHH THE MANGA LIKE. SERIOUSLY EXPLORED IT DEEPER #her ptsd from it and the way she sees vashs history in totality etc etc #it had such a good trajectory but i think it got resolved too soon..idk. i wish meryl and millie had more story in gen #theyre such lovely characters and these little bits of like.development for them is so sweet in my mind.like candy #trgn is just a very rushed and short story 2 begin w ig. #also btwjustlike i love how knives looks throughout this entire chapter. i love his outfit .. his arrogance & the way he sits.yah #<avg knives enjoyer #vash #knives trigun #hoppered the gauntlet #trigun #trigun maximum #trigun spoilers #im back 2 talking ab the same scenes and panels incessantly sry.parrot core.broken record smt #millions knives

lae'zel i love u even more now because of one simple line

#ooc. #this really came out of left field and slapped me silly! #under a cut bc ... it's not rlly a spoiler per se but fjsdf #it's just a line of hers re: shadowheart after the gauntlet of shar

Onager Gauntlet currently not an Enhancement in the Tau index.

I think GW might just give us proper Melee Suits soonish, and say the Earth Caste finally figured a more reliable way of mass producing the damn things.

#tau empire #40k #warhammer #mecha #Give Me Big Fist #fun trivia fact: #the original 12 Gauntlets were used during the original Damocles Crusade #as Bravestorm led a team equiped with them to assault an Imperial Tank formation #they did good work #unfortunately #Bravestorm under estimated Imperial ''Efficiency'' #and the formation was annhilated by an Imperial Titan #with Bravestorm the only surivivor of that assault #with his team and the tanks obilterated

[kirnet]

triggered the thisobald thorm fight with like 2 spell slots and a dream but we did it. we really did it

#shadowheart went under 4 times she didnt have any turn undead left astarion couldnt get sneak attack for some reason but its ok! #we just set the whole tavern on fire with grease bottles! #ramblings #mina plays bg3 #did that and just wrapped up one of the gauntlet of shar fights and ugh i love the higher level combat

[faebriel]

understatedly fun things to write: characters absolutely fucking failing at entirely mundane tasks

#makes the writing gauntlet worth it. i cant explain why but. its some of my favourite things to write #like wilbur struggling with his lemonade straw and niki getting tipsy off of one cocktail and tripping + eating shit on the ground at work #or jodi crawling up onto the dock like a worm because lets be honest getting out of water is hard #like file it under favourite writing things behind the em dash and run on sentences

[pyreshe]

love netflix, love how they'll be like "yeah this show was beloved by fans and critics. we are going to cancel it after a single season, leaving it forever on a cliff hanger 😊" and then "anyway, who wants ANOTHER season of e.mily in p.aris?"

#and like at this point im more or less convinced that if two women look at each other the show is already dead in the water #but like they will still use queerbaiting as a marketing tool in their advertising of shows #like if u look at how they showed enid and w.ednesday in the marketing material? u cannot convince me they werent trying to court #a sapphic audience #that wasnt an accident. that marketing shit has to go through a gauntlet of people. they knew exactly what they were doing #✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ: ooc / [mothman vc] take me home country roads #like the state of art and shit under capitalism makes me SO SAD #and netflix's egregious 'we gotta pump out as many shows as possible even if we cancel them 5 minutes later' model isnt the only offender #but good god if it doesnt make me sad

Some @shepherds-of-haven uniform designs for our gang of mages + two MCs * (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ✧

Since this was a conceptual clothing practice I used kibbitzer references directly. If you have some money to spare, kibbitzer’s Patreon provides amazing content to help artists develop their skills!

EDIT: added picture of everyone’s recruitable mage gang <3

#shepherds of haven #halle beren #ayla ascar #red antiqua #addy wildegarde who belongs to my girl Indi #friends ocs #briony stormbreaker #HAR HAR MY FIRST BRIONY #it’s good that red grew up with a bunch of sisters I imagine him as the one guy in the girls group #he gets invited to brunch and stuff or to see flicks with them #what’s your secret Liefred #I WAS CONFLICTED BECAUSE I LIKE TO DRAW AYLA BEING POINTY AND THIS IS ALL VERY ROUND #originally she was keeping Halle company in the devil horns club but I couldn’t do it she’s baby and I love her your honour #also as was mentioned in the discord briony has a mage friendship bracelet under her gauntlets #changed Halle’s accents from drampa green to drampa pink bc her scheme n black just doesn’t… work #anyway getting mages to wear a proper uniform is like herding cats blade has long given up it’s not worth the paperwork #also the leather chest pieces are patterned with dragon heads bc yanno mages… it should be hounds but what can I say? #mages wear SKIRTS they have LEG SLITS #before any metal (which I need to get better at) is added everyone looks like they’re in Sith Lord armour lmao #hate that my phone capitalises Sith Lord

Real quick Mika redesign

#hyouibana.art #unib #under night in birth #mika returna #i made this because her og design was obviously meant to appeal to wierd people :( #and i think she's neat so #I'd keep her gauntlets the same but i couldn't bother redrawing them

welcome to the royal waterways!

In the springtime the storm drain pipe is now full of animals, which I will take this opportunity to document:

salamanders (eastern red-backed - Plethodon cinereus):

spiders (foliate orbweaver - Larinioides cornutus):

snails:

earthworms:

flies and rove beetles:

and last but not least, there was a special seasonal event occurring:

Girls’ night! ✨

#I realize that taking a photo at the transition between pipe segments makes it look like I was outside the pipe- #so I would like to clarify for my honor that i WAS several bodylengths in at that time. <3 #there was also um - don't read on if you're easily horrified maybe #I didn't go to the manhole room this time because there was a small pile of raw flesh? organs? in front of it #I've learned that my hard limit is that i will not bellycrawl through viscera :| #i'm guessing a fox or something didn't finish a kill there..? no skin; unsure of bones (a light Something poking out); #just a glistening pink mass. #I saw it in the dark and shone my flashlight on it thinking it was a leaf. panicked when I realized what it was and reactively backed up #i ended up with one leg under my body and couldn't get it back out since the tunnel was too narrow so i was just stuck like that #chilled out in the tunnel for a few minutes playing HK. fought nkg. once i calmed down i wanted to approach the meat(?) again to investigate #but with my knee stuck under me i could barely move forward so i called it quits. now the curiosity has returned with a vengeance though. #there was a... mild odor of rotting flesh. i think the flies i saw in the tunnel were a bad omen. #but like! I don't know EXACTLY what i was looking at. it's driving me crazy now #(i went in because it started storming and i wanted to know what thunder sounded like from beneath a manhole. Safety<3!) #no thunder there was only the one before I entered :( #when I returned to indoor habitat i shook my head out over the sink before i showered in case anyone hitchhiked in my hair again - #There was a snail. An entire snail in my hair. small snail but. hello?? #okay time for warnings gauntlet--> #real bugs #spiders #unsanitary #claustrophobia #<- MY HOBBIES.... #*For my honor know that as usual i sanitized my body and clothing and belongings #i brought my cargo shorts into the shower to wash them since i just recently did laundry but i wanted to wear them again without Sewer Filth #and there was a caterpillar on them; the kind that camouflages as a twig; I think i picked it up in the forest on the way out. #I almost plucked it roughly or rinsed it off since i thought it was a twig but then i saw the baby legs. tossed both hitchhikers out window. #(onto grass. take care; friends.) #(my shorts can fit an entire flashlight in the pocket btw. buy men's pants.)
