I want to talk about all the details I put into the Ties comic cause I worked on that thing for like a week and my brain likes to think about many things
Anyway, pspspsps I'm info dumping about my own designs gather round.
Notes for the character designs themselves
-The colours show if they are Red/Yellow/Green are different per character. Tango with bright colours, Skizz's are cool and dark, Impulses are more yellow, and Ethos are more desaturated.
-Not all characters in the Life Games will get colour indicators in their eyes, the fact 3/4 of the designs here have it is unimportant shut
-Impulse has a heart knot in his tie!! Look at it!!
-Impulse cannot tie a tie. Tango does it for him.
-Tango having his tie undone is his own choice
-The choice of them having/not having pupils is intentional.
-Etho only has the one on one side, maybe its cause the red eyes a little fucky in the vision, who knows though
-Impulse has i's in the eyes
-Skizz just straight up doesn't have em, but I normally don't draw pupils with that iris shape anyway. something something normally only draw that iris style with certain magical characters
-I just stopped drawing with Tango with iris' at some point, idk
-Skizz is designed as a fallen angel. that's why the halo's are all separated/broken, and why you can see darker feathers growing
-maybe Impulse used to help him dye them white cause of some insecurity, maybe not
-the lower his lives go, the less dark feathers are seen in his wings. like a cruel joke the watchers get a kick out of
-mullet Skizz MULLET SKIZZ!!!!!
-Etho is a sentimental mf /pos. they will keep and make a lot of patches for memory's and stuff. notable patches are, The NHO patch, a creeper cause of general Spazz, Canada flag cause Canadian /j, I normally add rainbow ones for the button saga of s7 but forgot to this time.
-the rings are from all their divorces /J
-the colours on the rings correlate to their owners (Bdubs, Cleo, Joel) lives. ie will be red if one of them is red kinda thing.
think that's the most of the design thoughts, now the Details in the comic itself,,,
-Skizz is the kinda mf who would fiddle//stim with random things in his hands. Many times its other peoples hands
-dude will just hold peoples hands randomly when talking to them, team Ties just got used to it
-That's why Etho took so long to notice the bracelet!
-their ass isn't phased by this kinda stuff anymore /hj
-Skizz just enjoys contact man let me be
-Throughout most of the comic Skizz has some sort of contact with Etho
-Tango and impulse also end up giving Etho bracelets as well
-All the bracelets Etho gets share their colour indicator + the colour form the person who made it!
-you can see the colours slowly shift when Skizz ties on the bracelet, something something the magic of the world does some shit sometimes man.
-Skizz taught Impulse how to make the bracelets, so they have similar styles, Skizz's is more of a simple braid style though.
-Tango went for something that took longer to do. it is a little scuffed /pos
-Ethos been getting their ass handed to them the episode before this, had to rightfully reflect that. you know? /j
-the Slashes across their chest where form when Gem/Cleo killed them twice in that one episode.
-The bite was originally supposed to be cause of Scars dogs. But someone in a reply made a joke about it, and frankly I think it'd be funnier if it was cause of Joel or some shit like they said.
-Had the axe as more of a battle-axe style. It was something Impulse made for Skizz (I forget who actually made it//Didn't want to go back to check)
-I like showing characters having specific styles/ways they make armor and tools.
-It's fun to show characters with tools and armor that can be distinctly seen as being made by another player
-That being an axe Impulse made adds more weight to the narrative of this moment and I want people to cry
-something something for Etho its a moment of taking a weapon that Impulse made to protect Skizz, and using that as the tool that finally kills him
-For Skizz this is a moment of his trust and care for his teammates. Being surrounded by people that he cares about and tokens that show their love for each other.
-Suffer, I could have been angstyier, and I will be actualy.
-Skizz is the one putting the axe to his own neck in this moment. Etho is putting as little force into it as they can.
-Red king parallels who-
-Etho also gets cut by the axe, something about sacrifice and how no life/time can truly be free in these life games
-The blood wasn't actually intended to be golden ichor, I was just lazy and didn't want to draw red blood// wanted to have the cool lighting effect
-Etho has the same colour in their blood too so, take it as you will
-I've had this comic planed since EPICODE ONE. had full intentions for it to go angsty in the end, and dam if the narrative didn't play right into my grubby little hands.
-I also just love how well I could parallel the moments in this comic. the comparison of the pages where both their faces are visible? the Joy in ethos face turning to complete anguish? the fact Skizz never stopped smiling?
the way both moments start with an outstretched hand, and end with Skizz still holding onto Etho in a moment of trust? beautiful
-all the pages in the second part of the comic were framed specifically so I could avoid drawing Skizz ass.

Request a scenario where romantic yandere master chief somehow ends up in our world and finally meets the reader.
I can try! This is a continuation of the fic with the same name. I hope I didn't make it too short since I was struggling how to make it... realistic? (I have to have a certain amount of realism in my fics even if I'm bending rules, lol.)
Bigger Picture
Yandere! Self-Aware! Master Chief Scenario Part 2
Pairing: Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Invasion of privacy, Size difference between John and darling, Dubious companionship/relationship, I tried making it yandere but it may have been butchered, Manipulation, Stalking mention, Tamer compared to my usual stuff.
Halo had been one of your special interests for awhile. Be it for years or only a couple months, you've enjoyed the series. Even to the point of buying the books and playing all the campaigns.
You have fun putting together the lore and looking for collectibles. You like to play with friends despite the toxic online community. It's one of your favorite past times.
Unfortunately, your MCC disc had been acting funny lately. Whenever you tried to play inputs didn't register at times. The screen often glitched and sometimes the game was unplayable. As a result you've been spending less time on the game.
Even if you wanted to play it through yet again... it felt so invigorating to play as a super soldier fighting a space war against all sorts of foes.
To satiate your growing Halo urge you take a book you bought from your shelf and begin to read on your bed. The room is quiet, your xbox softly playing music while you immerse yourself in your story. You smile as you read through to lengthy story...
Then your Xbox begins to glitch.
A groan leaves your lips when you realize the issue may not be your disc. The idea of your hardware failing you worries you and you begin to get up to turn it off. However, you end up stumbling back when a loud popping noise occurs... a blinding light from your TV blinding you.
In response you turn around and bury your face into a pillow. You try to calm your worry as a ringing greets your ears. You have no idea what to do... you freeze and hope something changes enough to allow you to do something.
Then there's silence.
You pause, standing up slowly to turn around. Only to do a double take as something strange graces your vision. Your breathing stops momentarily as you take in your surroundings.
Once your vision clears you see a hulking figure in front of you. They're wearing armor similar to the Halo game you love and adore. In fact... they almost exactly resembled Master Chief himself.
You find yourself unable to move. You're overcome with fear and confusion as the hulking soldier stares down at you. You begin to wonder if the silence will ever end before the soldier looks over to the book you long discarded.
You flinch when he reaches over and picks up the books. You see him read through it, his visor concealing any thoughts or emotions. You don't think you want to draw attention to yourself....
Meanwhile John is just starting to learn more about you, his player. The book you were reading caught his attention. Inside were stories of his own missions and events... even his origins.
It surprises him that you know so much about him... yet he knows so little about you.
John's attention is only torn from the book when he notices you try to slip past him. A tightness in his chest urges him to act, quickly dropping the book and cutting you off. He sees how quickly you squeak before backing off... almost feeling bad.
"Where am I?" A simple question, he knows it's your world but he isn't quite sure where this is.
"Earth? My home? Who even are you!" You cry, John only responding with silence as he looks around the room. It's exactly as he saw it looking like.... His gaze then transitions back to you. He's never really been one for words.
Looking at how small you are compared to him, John can't help the fondness bubbling in him. It's just like all civilians compared to him yet he still feels a strong connection between you. Even though any sort of sexual desire is driven out of him due to the concoction of drugs he was fed when he was young... he still felt an urge to keep you close.
"There's no way you're actually Master Chief. He's a fictional character, that's impossible. You have to be some sort of alien or deity taking the form of something I enjoy to send me a message or something. I have to be rational...." John hears you mumbling to yourself. You're overcome with fearful worry and John wants to help you through it. He doesn't understand what you mean.
"What are you talking about?" He asks, only for you to shoot your head up from your hands.
"Me!? Oh, pardon me if this isn't a rare occurrence! I'm saying you're not supposed to be real! Yet here you are in front of me...." You panic, cautiously reaching out to touch his armor. John takes the chance to reach for your hand, holding it in his gloved one. As a result you freeze... silence overtaking both of you.
"I'm real."
"I'm crazy...."
"No you aren't."
"How...?"
"I'm not sure."
"...."
"Let's talk."
"Do I even have much of a choice?"
It's then the large soldier sits on your bed, nearly flinging you off due to the weight of the armor. You two then begin to discuss your situation and experiences. John is careful not to reveal too much on his desires but does mention that you two are connected somehow.
He can see as you talk you struggle to put things together but begin to accept certain things as fact. The fact he's here right now is shocking enough, at this point you'd accept anything as fact. Including him saying you two are bonded in a way.
Your fear is still deep in you but most of it ebbs away, curiosity and even a sense of respect taking its place. You're essentially meeting your long time hero. A video game character in the flesh.
The feeling is similar for John. He respects you for being his player and showing such interest in him. He's curious about how you know so much about him. In fact, he promises to answer questions you ask about him if he can ask about you.
Soon he plans to erase all fear you have for him.
If anything he'll protect you, not harm you.
----
Hiding a super soldier in your house is a difficult task. Even though you're still trying to get over the fact Master Chief is in your home, you still promised to hide him. If anything maybe he'll find out a way to return to his world.
Meanwhile you did your best to accomadate for him. You let him borrow exercise equipment and keep in shape outside when it was night. You even tried talking to him when you could, although he didn't answer much.
You weren't sure if you should feel safe, lucky, or terrified? It really does feel like the equivalent of hiding an alien from the government. In fact daily life became strange.
It's not like you could just disguise him. He's in literal power armor. You doubt you could even convince him to take it off?
The good thing you guess you could say is John likes to talk to you. He likes hearing about you and your past. If anything he's about as interested in you as you are him.
In fact you began picking up some sort of fondness towards you. He often expresses concern when you leave the house and doesn't appear to like those around you. Plus, you've caught him reaching out to put a gloved hand on your skin or offering to hold you for comfort.
At first it put you off. Any attempt to be closer to you was met by your shifting away, which upset John at times. Although... with time... you accepted it.
In a way he brought you a new sense of comfort. You began to believe the insanity of the situation and decided to make the best of it. You offered him to help him get back, the response you got was silence but you assume he appreciated it?
Not quite.
John didn't quite like the idea of going back to a fake and chaotic world. Even if he was supposed to hide he liked being around you. He liked holding you... he liked feeling like he could protect you.
He belongs in his world, but he can't go back to just watching you. He likes being a genuine part of your life while you gush about your adoration for his missions. It makes him feel... nice.
Even if you found a way to bring him back, he probably wouldn't accept it. He wants you to continue to adore him. Maybe even fall for him like he has you... just him and his player whom he swears to protect.
He'd give up everything if it meant he kept you in his lap. He'd do anything you order if it meant he served you. His old purpose is obsolete now.
Now... John dedicates himself to you.
If you or anyone tried to change that he won't allow it...
He'd sacrifice it all for you... no matter the amount of blood or pain, just so he can stay with his player.

Aislynn's Rumble Jumble of Random Thinky Thoughts on Halo s2 ep 5 "Aleria."
Spoilers, natch. 😉
I was holding out a little bit of hope, especially given that Riz went back for Vannak, that we were going to get some sort of last minute reprieve to save the big fellow. Sadly, no. 😭
John's guilt that Riz went back for Vannak's body because he had been pushing her so hard was understandable but I don't believe that was the whole story, if it was even a part of it at all. I think she went back for him because because he was one of them and they don't leave one of their own behind. More than that, she went back for him because she loves him. Call it the love for a brother, for a comrade, a friend who has been at her side since they were children, she loved him. Of course, you're also welcome to call it romantic as well, you know how I support my fellow shippers 117% at all times 😇 (she says, as if she hasn't totally written Vannak/Riz shippy fic 😂😉)
Poor John, of all the trauma he's been through, this has been by far the worst of it all: he's been abandoned by the UNSC, he's lost his armor, he's lost his identity as Master Chief, he's lost Reach, has lost Cortana, lost Admiral Keyes, lost Kai, lost Vannak and then now Riz. That moment when he tells her she's all he has left just about broke my heart. When she hugged him, he did a brilliant job, IMO, of showing how for a moment, he just wanted to close his eyes and collapse onto her, then pride makes him withdraw and try to pull a facade together like it doesn't matter. *sniffle*
I obviously hope this isn't the last we see of Riz but, at the same time, I'm happy for her. She deserves some peace after the terrifying amount of physical and emotional violence she's been through. Just seeing her smiling at the end made my heart feel a little better. Love you, Riz. I hope we see you again having a great life, bb, you deserve it. 💖
Okay, so I was NOT expecting Laera to go all Negan with a barbed wire bat. 😮 But was it satisfying to watch the quiet menace growing larger and larger, while that shopkeeper dude clearly realized that he would've been better off taking a beating from Soren? Yes, that was very satisfying, indeed, lol! And why I wasn't expecting the UNSC to have taken Kessler is beyond me because of COURSE they know about him (Halsey called him by name, after all) and of COURSE they're going to want a son of a Spartan. Will any of Soren's enhancements have been passed down genetically? Will Kessler be more likely to survive the process if they put him through it? Will they not even have to put him through it at all? I would imagine they have a lot of questions they'd like answered. And Laera and her bat would be very happy to answer them all, I'd imagine... 🥊😠🥊😉
Now, the three most important things about the scenes with Makee, Cortana and not!Thel!Arbiter whom I shall try to now call Var 'Gatanai since that's his name:
I still don't care for Cortana's makeover. 🤷♀️I liked the bit of camaraderie between her and Makee, especially with Makee's line about what happens when a useful thing loses its use. I see a forced alliance in their future, if not an actual friendship.
I still keep staring at Makee's eyebrows, wondering if they're more blonde because she dyed them or is it from whatever she went through to bring her back to life after last season. Yes, this is the important thing to keep worrying about. 🙄😜
I had to struggle so hard not to loudly exclaim, "ARE YOU BLINDED BY ITS MAJESTY?" when Cortana showed Var the Halo lands Makee and John frolicked through in season 1. 😇😂😉
And fourth place runner up, I didn't get as many shippy vibes this week between Makee and Var, whom I can call by his name or by not!Thel!Arbiter but not just "the Arbiter" because I'm a card-carrying member of the Fangirls of Arbiter Thel 'Vadam Fan Club and I'm not going to risk losing my membership. 😂😉
My bb boi. *draws sparkly hearts everywhere* 💖💖💖😉
I'm of two minds about them pretty obviously giving Var the Arbiter storyline here. However, if they would've called the character Thel 'Vadam(ee) but not had him voiced by Keith David? Um, HERESY. I don't say that sort of thing often when it comes to new adaptations but, c'mon, he IS the Arbiter when it comes to voices and considering that Thel would be CGI or whatever they're using to create Var and the other Elites, it's not the same sort of prospect as I've heard other people say, that they should've dubbed Steve Downes' voice over Pablo Schreiber's. (Yes, I saw that pop up a couple of times in the earlier days.) I mean, clearly Steve Downes IS Master Chief when it comes to the games but dubbing a live action actor is never going to look smooth, IMO.
Anyway, I think this means we won't be meeting Thel in this series, since his storyline is currently going along without him. 🤷♀️
Now to see what's in store for us next week. I am both looking forward to and dreading Kai and John's inevitable reunion. He's going to feel utterly betrayed, I'd think, and as I've said before, if she's not utterly devastated by Vannak's death and feeling guilty over not being there when Silver Team needed her... I'm going to have to super-duper fix that with fic. *nodnods* 😜😉
PS - Am I writing something utterly fluffy for Vannak right now? OF COURSE I am! C'mon, Vannak, jump in the AU Party Warthog, where you'll always be safe and happy!

Theoretically, if a Spartan went rogue and the UNSC wanted them back, what would they do? I mean, what could they do? Trying to corral an unwilling Spartan seems like a tough job
I'm assuming we're talking about adult, fully-realized Spartans and not shenanigans with teenagers. (There were some shenanigans with teenagers, especially around the time when augmentation washouts were being dealt with. Some of that is talked about in a Halo: Legends episode, but I don't... like Legends lol.)
First, the UNSC has to know they were given the slip, so if a Spartan can fake their own death (or just appears to have died) and doesn't draw attention, the UNSC has bigger problems to worry about and won't notice.
Secondly, a Spartan that wants out probably cannot take their armor with them. The armor is very much linked up with the UNSC's systems and, without some serious tinkering on the Spartan's end, they can track it. They'd also need to account for the very basic problem of how you get in and out of a MJOLNIR suit without access to a Spartan armor assembly rig. (Probably doable, but oh boy.)
A Spartan-IV that wants to defect has extra bonus problems that the IIs and IIIs do not: A locator implant under their jaw that lets the UNSC know right where they are. (If they ever decide to tell us they added them to the IIs and IIIs later, it's a retcon.) This will have to somehow be disabled or surgically removed.
That's not all! Spartan-IV augmentations are reputed to be more finicky (they have so much more metal going on inside them) and require periodic maintenance!
So it's definitely possible, but it's going to be pretty difficult for the Spartan and they will need some kind of help getting out and operating off UNSC lines. A S-IV will most likely need someone with good medical knowledge who won't turn them in.
When a Spartan is found to be AWOL, it is taken seriously. The codename for the protocol is STOLEN GAUNTLET. (This is also the name of an achievement in Halo 5.)
The Spartan branch cleans up their own messes in their own house, and will send a Spartan team to hunt down the offender. (This is literally what Halo 5 is about.) Corralling an unwilling Spartan is hard, but going one against a whole fireteam of other Spartans is harder.
Once a rogue Spartan has been captured (if they are captured and not killed) they are locked up in a top security area specifically designed for containing Spartans on the space station the Spartans also use for training new S-IVs.
There are a couple Spartan-IVs that have tried it over the years, but the one we know the most about is probably Mickey Crespo. He defects from the UNSC in New Blood, then Buck and co break him out of Spartan jail for a mission in Bad Blood.

Stop! ✋⛔ Show us the latest artsketch you've been working on! Send this to 5 other artists!
Admittedly I have not been drawing much as I'd like to. This one is from a week ago or something but I was working again on it last night so it counts I think 😅
It's for a very self indulgent AU- Red vs Blue AU focused on the Nordics. But in spite of being in that fandom for years I don't know how to draw halo armor 😭
#im cringe but im free#but this au really only appeals to me and my wife i think#hws Finland#aph Finland#emil.art

okay i lied, i sketched him up anyway.
The Scorpion/Carnorpion (lmao)
more info/closeups under the cut:
tfw you get your dna spliced with a scorpion and all it does is turn you into vin diesel make you beefy and bald
the stuff for this isn't fully written yet (so, not posted on ao3 yet either lol) but if I can get some of the kinks (not that kind of kink) (...maybe a little) hammered out on this wip he should show up... soonish...? i plan to include a flashback to him beating the tar out a teenaged peter with that sword whip too, but his main role will be to fistfight doc ock and get worms
also considering giving him a motorcycle just for funsies (not like Peter's little Yamaha though, something big and rumbly)
(ah... fuck i accidentally made him hot)
Big inspiration for this armor design from Tradd Moore's take on the Scorpion in Venom #150 (highly recommended just for the art alone) but taking some other little cues from various sources + my own personal design sense and habits (i feel like it's pretty obvious how i tend to design armor, which is, like literal plate armor LOL) and trying to make sure the Carnage one doesn't look too much like Agent Venom lmao
Metroid Halo lookin ass...
idk how clear it is in this rough sketch but the stripes next to the visor are lights lol
tbh I'm not sold on the mechanical pincer design as it is but if i think of something i like better i can always just change it. or, you know, just not use it at all.. honestly with a few exceptions I just don't like the Scorpion's pincers in general XD so it's not surprising i'm not quite satisfied with them. They're technically auxiliary to the claws anyway. i like the claws better. really the tail is the most important part.
as far as carnorpion goes
also i just realized i drew the blade on his tail differently for carnorpion but you know what i can just say the curved blade is just the new version to go with the special symbiote-interface armor 🤷 that's honestly pretty likely lol it's already a new version of the armor anyway so... it works.
i like these pincers. peak weirdo. better than the mech ones. maybe he only has pincers as carnorpion (or venorpion, like i said i still don't entirely know what i'm doing with this plot cause oscorp and symbiotes are giving me some ... problems)
also the jaw scars
afaik that was a superior spider-man thing but i just like them?? i always liked them, so I decided that fisk could probably rip his jaw off and then have the carnage symbiote put it back on but, being a new slime, not quite all the way there in terms of healing yet. then again i could also have ock do it when they fight. we'll see.
(he also fluoresces under a black light after being mutated)
-
drawing this like teehee beefy tall symbiote host—what? what was that? edward? no i don't know him,
(jk jk lol but amusingly despite prominently featuring in the very early concepts for this AU he uh. well. i kind of wrote eddie out completely. lol. sorry ed boy.)
#mac gargan#the scorpion#carnorpion#arghdesign#spiderman#fanadiart#nadiart#consider yourselves lucky i didn't give him a codpiece (he had one in the initial sketch )#peterflash timeline au#came in through the window last night

“you are not wrong .” he sputtered out the words in gasps. his wounds were grave and his consciousness rapidly fading. he couldn't quite see hymnal's face ... but he felt him, this time, under his grasping hand. the fires of the inferno calling; he held onto hymnal's shoulder tight for just one more moment. “i- i'm sorry ... for this - for everything ... - that it has to end this way – but it is not your fault but mine. and you are not wrong! ... to trust, to believe ... to help ... to care for and love people even when they disappoint you - ... it is not wrong. you didn't do anything wrong ... not a thing! please don't let this change you. not that part of you ... ”
the mind does strange things in times of intense troubles.
hymnal's mind takes him back, to sitting among the pews of the temple that had been his home. a cleric speaks prayers over them, reciting old hymns, and his hands are clasped and his head is bowed. it is a memory in a memory, because he remembers remembering something else: the face of a man desperate in the middle of a burning battlefield, holding onto hymnal like he's a lifeline.
aid those who are without guidance.
hymnal had started crying so hard in the middle of service that he had been led out of the room. he didn't know why, at the time, but it's all painfully clear now.
the same man lays at his feet now, burning blood seeping into his clothing and the ground and into the roots of the dark trees over them. his wounds are grave, inflicted by a combination of magecraft and the sword that hymnal clings to like it might be the last prayer he has in this world. above him is the only source of light illuminating them, a bead that spins into a halo behind his broken horns.
in another life, it's vespin's claws that are buried in his chest, grasping for the heart of a champion before the world becomes ash around him. this time, however, history rights itself -- the champion of good wins this battle.
you are a fool. you trusted him, and look -- look at what has happened again.
he hiccups over his next breath, trembling all over. he is no experienced knight in this life. here, he was not raised in the hallowed halls of grand cathedrals to walk the path of righteous anger.
here, he was a boy from a farming village wearing armor from another time.
vespin's hand grips into his shoulder, in the place where the pauldron meets the chestplate, and those fingers dig in almost painfully tight as he speaks. hymnal has to strain to hear him over the ringing in his ears. (he only learns later that the strain is because he's crying too hard, that the sobbing sounds are coming from himself.)
" i should have listened. i should have-- "
he should have stayed on the path from the beginning. or he should have run at the first opportunity. he should have done something.
please don't let this change you.
" i'm sorry -- i'm -- "
the fires burn too hot to hang onto vespin for too long. he tries, clinging to his arm until the flames lick up the exposed parts of his arms and he's forced to draw back. eventually, he's left alone in the dark, clutching his arms against himself as he tears the gauntlets off and tosses them to the side.
he's not sure how long he sits there before someone else comes along to find him -- time here doesn't move, not the way everything else does, and between memories of old and new, he can't stop crying.
(hellfire, it seems, never stops burning. the scars remain, black veins in the gold and white marble, and they hurt. they always hurt.)

Do the blorbos play video games? If so, do they play single-player or play with friends, and what types of games do they enjoy?
SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO GET TO ASKS I'VE BEEN HAVING A WEEK
I honestly haven't thought of that much! I don't think most of them are the gaming type or they're just too busy for it.
Avery used to game when he was a kid, he had something like an XBox 360 or Playstation 3 and he probably liked first-person shooters a la Halo. He was probably also into something like Pokemon, although he kept it to himself. Nowadays he's just too busy to game in general and it's not really an interest of his anymore, but he keeps the console around for nostalgia's sake and his stash of Pokemon cards is somewhere in his closet.
Ollie's a big fan of music/rhythm games like osu and Love Live, and they probably had a big Geometry Dash-esque phase when they were younger that they had to quit for their own sanity. I could also see them enjoying uh. THV's equivalent of Minecraft. I don't know how that would work but do you see my vision here-
Claire is the biggest gamer of the cast and likes playing a wide variety of games, especially indie games. If a game has an artistic vision that catches her eye, she's on it. THV's world probably has some equivalent of the Sonic franchise which Claire absolutely adored as a kid and her fanart of not-Sonic characters and OCs was probably her introduction to drawing and posting art online in general. Claire would also like playing not-Minecraft—she and Ollie would have their own server, but she would play on it more.
Jade was a big online game player a la Armor Games, Newgrounds, etc before school got too busy for her. She mostly played lots of platformers and puzzle games, especially ones with a good story. But now she gets most of her gaming fix from watching Let's Players.
I can see Terry having had a terrible gaming addiction in the past, so they do not game anymore. Somewhere out there, their RuneScape account remains forever dormant...

HI FOX I'M BACK AND I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TUMBLR WORKS
Could not for the life of me find that "read more" button you were mentioning, but that's besides the point. (Does it matter if I'm on mobile?)
Anyways welcome to more questions– Because there's this amazing button that says "Ask away, friend!" and I am certainly inclined to do so–
It's mostly art related questions this time lol
1. Do you have any art of just Fox's armor? Like a ref sheet or something as opposed to what I'm able to scour from the fic? Same for Snowball~ I haven't found too many drawings of the latter yet, although I'm only on the 25th chapter so far. (Maybe there's something I haven't come across yet?)
2. ....basically like the first question, but with that death frisbee of Fox's. Do you have any art for it? On another note, I'm also curious what it looked like in its first iterations. Has it always been scifi or was it once more of a chakram sort of deal?
3. I've got another question but it's not really a public internet question. Is there maybe a way I can DM you at all?
4. What's Fox's absolute most favorite food? And why is it her most favorite food?
Okay that's enough out of me; I'm going back to reading. Cya~
Hi hello!
I have no idea if the "read more" works on mobile or not. If you could see my full reply to your last batch of questions, then I think it might be only for desktop-users.
Anyways, on to answering your questions!
I don't have a ref sheet of Fox or Snow at the moment, mostly because I just reference 3D models of their armor that I've downloaded. I can compile all the drawings and references I have of both of them as lineart and flat-colors only and send them over to you in a DM, if that's okay! In the meantime, here's a list of the armor pieces they wear in case you want to look them up yourself!
[H4 = Halo 4, H5 = Halo 5 for reference]
Fox: Venator Helmet (H4, default skin,) Wetwork Chest (H4, specialization variant skin,) Venator Shoulders (H4, default skin,) Fotus Arms (H4, default skin,) Venator Lower Back (H4, default skin,) Venator Legs & Feet (H4, raptor skin.)
Snow: Raijin Helmet (H5, default skin - Uncommon REQ Card,) Raijin Chest (H5, default skin - Uncommon REQ Card,) Rogue Shoulders (H4, default skin,) Gungnir Arms (H4, default skin,) Raijin Lower Back (H5, default skin - Uncommon REQ Card,) Raijin Legs & Feet (H5, default skin - Uncommon REQ Card.)
I do actually have a ref sheet for Fox's shield! It's really old, but I made a 3D model for it that I use when building my references for illustrations. Here it is! (Hopefully that link works :'D)
It has always been sci-fi looking. I don't think Fox even considered chakrams when she first built it. Her mind was definitely locked on "murder frisbee" when she came up with the idea for it XD
Yes there is! I'll DM you on Tumblr, but basically look for the icon that looks like a speech bubble with a smiley face in it at the bottom of your mobile app.
Fox's favorite food is cactus soup! Though after being stranded on Nalome for so long, she'll tell you all food is her favorite food XD
Thanks so much for all the questions! I'll send over all the refs of Fox and Snow that I have as soon as I'm able.
Have a great day! <3

Know what Skyj.acks moment I think about the most w/ re: Aylin?
James: And, this memory that you've recovered is the memory of the first Fallen. Long before the stars fell, long before the Sovereign was slain, an angel was cast out of the Sovereign's perfect heavens. Their wings were carved away, and they were cast down to Spéir in fiery disgrace. And, one of the things that means is Gable knew the price of rebellion before a rebellion was started. And, that is also how you know that Fallen are not permitted to die.
James: Liz, please tell us — what is this memory?
Liz: The memory is — It's ancient and very foggy. Gable remembers the feeling of curiosity because everyone was gathered for the casting down but no one knew what happened after. So one night, Gable left and went to look. The Fallen had run into, on its way down, a mountain, and had impaled itself on a rock. Had been there for maybe two weeks. And, Gable remembers walking in barefeet up to its body and seeing it was still breathing.
James: We see Gable, for the first time I think in this podcast's history, as a full angel manifesting in a physical form. Liz, what did Gable look like?
Liz: Just very sad. They had a helm, they had armor, but it was nothing too garish. Huge, huge wings as befits their station, but not much else.
[...]
James: So we see Gable's wings flared out in glory with the gold and silver flames of Heaven crowning their halo. And, Gable's many hundred eyes stare at this suffering creature curiously. What does Gable do?
Liz: They kinda cock their head a little bit and try to behead it.
James: Gable pulls out their sword. And in this moment, we learn something about Gable's sword. In order to draw it, you have to pluck one of the feathers from your wings, and it plucks out slowly, unsheathing into a massive nine foot long blade. And as Gable wields it, gold fire starts to slowly lap out across it until the entire thing is wreathed in a shimmering blaze.
James: Gable's expression is curious, innocent, and pitying. And with the elegant grace of the angel's dance of war, your blade moves through the air, and it cleaves through the rock, sinew, and bone with the same ease it does the air itself. And, the head falls at your feet, but the body doesn't stop breathing, and the eyes don't stop moving. And, they look at you, just as surprised as you look at them. And, the memory fades.

So I imagine that angels have a relatively more peaceful life compared to demons, depending on who you are of course. So I like to think about a gentle angel darling in hell, forced to witness all the violence and chaos their demonic yandere revels in. Just like watching them tear each other apart until one of them wins their hand, their yandere using it as a way to get them to rely on them. Like a demon taking on a savior role, something the angels were supposed to do
tw - imprisonment, mentions of death/violence, intimidation, isolation, dehumanization, slight psychological abuse.
I think it helps that angels are very,,, clean, too, for lack of a better word. Your kind deals in love and purity and justice sought not through bloody, ugly vengeance, but righteous karma, punishments tailored to fit the crime. You're used to white robes, blinding lights, halos made of pure, unclouded gold, not filth, not smoke and brimstone, not rusted iron and heavy chains and blood, so much blood, wherever it can possibly be, staining whatever it possibly can. They seem to dwell in it, to make a sport out of tearing off limbs and carving open stomachs and burying fangs in awaiting necks - your captor, especially, with their dark armor and curving claws, with the manic smile and their insistence on bringing to the colosseum, to the desolate ring of sand and steel they use to slaughter lesser creatures who show an interest in seizing their position. Sometimes, you refuse to watch, holding your wings in front of your face and curling into yourself until the growling and the cheering and the screaming stops, and sometimes, they try to tempt you to, offer rewards for your cooperation, treats for a well-behaved pet. Most of the time, they don't bother giving you a choice.
You think that's what you are to them - a pet. You've seen what they usually do to angels, the snow-white wings hung on bedroom walls, the glowing halos used as necklaces and warped bracelets, listened to the stories of angels lured down from their heavily posts and torn apart to be sold to the highest bidder told by your captor's true companions while you sit in their lap and bury your face in the crook of your neck. They don't seem to have any desire to gut and mount you, but they like showing you off, dressing you up in bright jewels and silver collars, letting you cling to their side while they sit on their throne and allow all their little underlings to admire the angel they caught, the angel they kept, the angel that belongs to them. You rarely ever speak outside of your chambers, but they like having you introduce yourself, state your name and former title while their guests coo and murmur and treat you like something lesser, something weaker, and sometimes, just sometimes, they'll come into your bedroom, at night, sit on the foot of your bed and call you onto their lap, spend the small hours of the endless night that reigns over their domain running their talons over your feathers and rambling, like they would to a sleeping lover, like they would to a mindless animal, incapable of intelligent conversation.
You don't like it, but you don't have much of a choice. You don't want to be coddled, but you've seen the alternative, how you could've ended up if they were a little less fond of you, how much blood they can draw with just a flick of their wrist. You've seen what could've happened to you, and you know this is better, that being alive and in one piece is better.
Being a pet is better than being a trophy, and you have to pretend you still believe that.

Halo Episode 7
Because this one single gif is ten times more interesting then the entirety of Episode 7. I absolutely went way too honest on this one about how I feel in regards to Soren and Kwan. If you like/love them, I don't recommend reading this. Spoilers under the cut!
Kwan cannot carry an episode on her own. She's meant to be a supporting character, not a main, and I have absolutely zero interest in her or Soren.
she's a teenager who lost everything. "rage is all i have left.'' and i totally get it, i do. there's just nothing endearing about this plot. it's not interesting. it doesn't draw you in.
her actress is super talented but.. the insurrection plot.. just bores me
i don't hate her. she just... definitely isn't a character i'm interested in
Speaking of Soren -- like.. I get he's from the legends but I do not care about him either.... his son is so cute and i love his wife but soren just does not do it for me..
also these are first impressions so don't be surprised if something changes halfway down this list
one of the things this show does super well is the cinematography
like holy crap dude
how on EARTH did Soren get back to the Rubble?!
i would've rather had an entire episode about soren's origins in the spartan program and how his relationship with john started
i do however find it super interesting that once kwan enters that dream like state, the person she sees is john
John and Reth, both who have been affected by the Covenant and are the complete antithesis of everything she's been raised to believe
WHO PUTS A TEENAGE GIRL AGAINST A SPARTAN THREE DECADES OLDER THEN HER?
Not to mention who's been augmented and has armor made from titanium alloy?
the little details of kwan changing weapons every time she wakes up is a fascinating addition
and the way they wait until she finally gives up to show john's face?
important details
pablo literally doesn't have to say a word, his presene just carries so much weight
the music in this episode is fantastic
THE WAY THAT KWAN SEES HER ENTIRE FAMILY LINE IN FRONT OF HER? AND HER FATHER? THE WAY THEY ALL DISAPPEAR INTO THE NEXT?
that detail was so cool!!
frick there's still thirty minutes left
mmm a portal that doesn't have a recognized destination i wonder where it leads
won't be surprised if it leads to halo lol
vinsher... vinsher. ugh.
i hate him too
if i'm right on this someone needs to give me a pat on the back -- but i am 100% convinced between what john and kwan have learned, they're gonna help the other get to halo
Soren's dedication to John is so sweet
you people really are stupid enough to think you can take on an ex spartan aren't you
okay i don't know about the rest of you but people who throw knives that accurately and with that much finesse?
hot
also for those of you who don't know, soren in the legends is certifiably insane and is very similar to this one. If you wanna look him up -- here he is!
THE PLASMA GRENADE FINALLY MAKES AN ENTRANCE
MY JAW DROPPED THAT WAS A POWER MOVE KID!!
oh she founds john's gun
which is three times the size of her
i never realized how big these guns are compared to civilians!
vinsher got the death he deserves!!! whoo!!!!!!
i definitely believe soren john and kwan are going to come back together at some point because of how many times ''we'll see each other again'' was said in regards to all three of them
oh she kept john's gun *cries quietly*
okay overall this gets a 6/10
it wasn't bad, definitely picked up toward the end, but i feel there are a number of ways they could've done this better

Can I have a HALO ship?, Bi, age 26,
5'5,I’m a fat woman, (who sometimes is insecure about it) stubborn,extremely sarcastic,I have a temper,but I'm also kind, gentle, understanding and I love cuddles. I'm a very curious, outspoken and opinionated person. I love to laugh and make others laugh,I love to read and play video games. I'm am also an artist and I love to paint and draw.
super sorry for getting to your match up so late!!! these match up asks really get me thinking, since i want to make sure i ship you guys with the perfect spartan for you! also motivation was everywhere, sorry lol
But I ship you with...
Emile-A239!
I completely imagine what drew Emile to you was your stubborness and sarcastic attitude, he can get behind that.
Emile loves the fire you got; the sarcasm and stubborness draws him in like a moth to a lamp, so irresistible, yet theres a spark of danger. Definitely have to watch out, he's prone to tease, all in good fun of course.
Another thing he absolutely adores is your outspokeness and curiosity. Now, we all know Emile is the type to have a tendency to go off the walls, and when he has an issue with command he has no qualms speaking his damn mind. It's finally nice to have someone share a trait with him, and be curious enough to figure out if something wasn't right.
What does throw him for a loop though is your kindness. It really goes to show to him that you should never judge a book by it's cover, in a good way, I mean.
Honestly? It's nice to have a feisty, kind-hearted person around. I'm not sure how to describe it, but something about your traits combining to make a brilliant woman fascinates him.
If anyone makes rude remarks about your appearance, they'll get a visit from a very unhappy and trigger-happy spartan. If it was a very rude remark... well, Emile was almost thrown off the team for a reason.
One thing I do want to point out though is you'll have to ease Emile into cuddling. I like to imagine he has semi-sensitive skin, especially where their are scars, so you'll have to coax Emile into letting you touch him. After the first session, he'll still be uneasy with it, but it can get quite cozy, that he won't lie.
Reading? He ain't that much of a fan, but he can totally get behind video games, which is quite rare amongst spartans in general. Give him a good shooter like CoD and he'll be hoarding the gaming consoles or PCs. Will definitely have a bunch of snacks literred everywhere though, so be aware.
What really makes his eyebrows go up is your talents as an artist. Now Emile isn't some Leonardo or Picasso, but he's decent with his art talents. He honestly wouldn't mind if you taught him a few things and hey, maybe you can add a few little details to his armor for him.
Now I know I said Emile doesn't really like physical touch (like his skin), BUT he doesn't mind it when he has his armor equiped... cue the pokes and hugs. I don't know why but he just loves holding you? Like he just loves you for being... well, you.
Also hes an asshole and he'll use you as something to lean on like a coffee stand. That's typical Emile behavior.
Following the point about art, he'd probably want to know if you can decorate his room with your art. Any type of medium, painting, sketches, markers, whatever you have available. But there's one thing he asks... they have to contain skulls. And maybe an occasional doodle of you and him holding hands, something sappy he can look forward to in the mornings.
Don't get me wrong, he loves sappy drawings and all that, but he HATES saying sappy stuff. Like he avoids saying those sort of things like it's going to kill him in an agonizing way.
Honestly? If you can help him with his severe (and I mean SEVERE) temperment issues, that'd be a big help with him. You'd unintentionally become his daily therapist.
Another artist point, sorry, but he'd definitely ask you to paint the warthog or pelican and I'll take this headcannon to the GRAVE.
... Also he wants you to paint Jorge's armor pink when he's not looking.
