Stage 15 of Castlevania 1. Simon encounters sentient bodies of armour before meeting Death itself. @beevean CW: descriptions of violence and blood
Climb higher.
Simon’s legs make quick work of ascending stairs to the next floor. He’s greeted by a sound that grates on his ears - metal bodies of armour animated by magic note his presence right away. Two of them haul their mighty and towering bodies in his direction, metal grinding on metal.
As they lurch closer still, Simon crouches into a defensive stance, eyeing them for an opening to attack.
He isn’t given enough time to study before one of the armoured knights raises an arm, hurling an axe towards Simon’s head. He’s quick to kneel, bowing his head to dodge it.
Once out of harm’s way, he lifts his eyes to watch his enemies again.
Magic materializes another axe in the palm of his foe’s hand. An endless supply. Great.
Simon’s attention splits as the second of the armours has also thrown their axe, aiming squarely for Simon kneeled on the floor.
He doesn’t have time to think before he dodges, rolling out and away upon the stone ground. Like the first, some magic bestows the animated armour with a new weapon readily.
Simon has to take them out, and quickly.
Hauling himself up, he readies the leather whip in hand before snapping it towards the leg of one of them, pulling with all of his might in an attempt to send it to the ground.
It’s so much heavier than he was expecting. It takes all of his force for the armour to lose balance. Miraculously, it seems to be aware of its restraint. The armour’s helm looks down at the leather wound around its heel.
Simon will take advantage of its sentience.
As the armour busies itself trying to become undone, Simon sprints towards it before tackling it with all of his might, sending both to the ground with a loud crash onto the stone floor beneath.
As quickly as possible, Simon tears the helm off, tossing it away before reaching his arm into the breastplate through the opening for the neck.
His hand squeezes an object—fleshy, pulsing and warm—before his attention is torn away again.
The second animated armour is readying to throw another axe towards him.
Simon doesn’t have time to think before he’s wrenching the shield from the fallen one’s grasp, using it to block the the axe blitzing towards him.
It connects with a terrible ringing sound far too close to Simon’s ear. The axe has embedded itself into the shield, which Simon now struggles to hold due to sheer weight.
Simon separates both objects in either hand before rising to stand, hurling the axe with all of his strength towards the second.
It connects, and the helm comes clean off before the sentient armour falls to the ground.
Good. He’ll tend to that one, next.
He discards the shield onto the ground with a heavy thud. He straddles the armour on the ground beneath him again, returning to the task of fishing out its core.
With a tug, he pulls out the fleshy orb from the body.
He watches it beat in his hand—it's tinted an unnatural blue hue. It almost looks like a heart.
Simon flexes his hand closed, crushing it with ease. Blood from it spews down his forearm and onto his face.
With his free hand, Simon wipes his face before dismounting. He collects his whip before moving onto the next felled behind him.
To his shock, another creature has appeared without him noticing. It is leaning over the fallen armour. It is a cloaked being, partially translucent as it carries a sort of fog behind it.
The putrid scent of disease and rot accost Simon’s senses, next.
Then a harrowing ache overwhelms him. His instincts are screaming at him to run.
It can only be for one reason:
before him stands Death itself.
And Death comes for all men. For all manner of creatures and beasts.
It is the omnipresent shepherd for all life lost.
And this can only mean Simon’s own end is drawing closer still.
The hooded cloak lifts to meet Simon’s gaze. A glowing pair of red orbs illuminate Death’s skull-like face.
Simon stares Death in the face. It burns into him. Its visage will haunt him.
“You must be the Belmont.”
No mouth has opened to utter these words. They flow in as a distorted, inhuman sound, echoing within Simon’s mind.
“Are you Death?” Simon finally has the courage to ask aloud, and he does what he can to sound unaffected.
“Then you know why I am here.” It replies ominously, extending a boned hand outwards.
A glistening scythe materializes within its grasp.
“My lord desires your soul,” Death explains “and while it is before your time, I mustn’t disobey my master.”
Simon’s throat tightens. Death knows when he will die.
And Death has the ability to change when Simon will meet his end.
The time is now—all he can do is ready himself to fight him, calling upon God to grant him protection against this omnipotent force that has bowed to Dracula’s influence.
All he can do is fight.

Alas, no cool Waster colonist. It's probably for the best, our colony is growing too fast from all the babies anyway.

Speaking of growing, Dire Wolf has reached double digits!!! Hooray! She's acquired the "cat person" trait from growing up around Salvatore, Cecil, and our new phoenix owlcat, Cannibal (I swear that name was randomly generated).

Vasso and Euclid have been working away on some wholesome, family-friendly research to amuse themselves while we prepare for the next leg of our journey towards the starship.

Finally, we received a distress call from a man named Vance who wishes to join us. What do we think, everybody?
Thank you for your votes, and enjoy your day!

I saw your tags on the werewolf-biting post and while overall I agree, I really want to argue on Celebrimbor being high on the “would rather arrange to kill the wolf a different way” list. Celebrimbor may be a relatively moral, earnestly-seeking-cooperation-and-improvement-of-lives-of-others Fëanorian, but he IS still a Fëanorian, and moreover, whatever age you imagine Celegorm got Huan at, we can pretty much guarantee Celebrimbor is the only Fëanorian, indeed only Finwëan, to grow up with a giant dog as his honorary 7th uncle. Celebrimbor would be low on the list of likely to bite the throat out of a /person/, but a werewolf? A werewolf is FAIR GAME.
Look. does Celebrimbor think that a werewolf's throat is a just and correct place for his teeth to be? Absolutely! Nonetheless, if his teeth can reach a still intact werewolf throat, that is a sign that several layers of clever and carefully-wrought defensive measures have failed miserably. Quite possibly it means that other, less enthusiastically toothy people are now also trying to murder a werewolf with their bare hands! Just because Celebrimbor would take great satisfaction in doing it doesn't mean he wouldn't recognize it as a mode of failure.
In this, I think he takes after Curufin more than, say, Feanor. Under the right circumstances, Feanor (and Celegorm, and possibly post-Thangorodrim Maedhros on a bad day, likely at least one of the twins) would vault over his own fortifications for the pleasure of unarmed werewolf combat. Curufin and Celebrimbor (and Maglor, Caranthir, and hopefully at least one twin) would rather let the war machines on their battlements take care of things.
I feel like what we really need is one of those two axis gradient thingies. One axis is how enjoyable an individual finds unarmed werewolf combat, and the other axis is how likely they are to use unarmed werewolf combat as Plan A.

I roll with DinPaz (also BobaDin and DinCobb btw), but AxePaz has really got me in a chokehold and I’m v angy because a lil warning light was going off in my head the entire episode when the camera was on Paz so much for no apparent reason, and yet I still glued together some logs and sailed away on my new AxePaz raft like a fool

I suddenly wanted to do my own take on Combat Preparation from Ruina after seeing another art of it, so I made it Combat Enchantment instead.
I also figured out how to do color fill on Procreate. Why the heck is it called Reference!?

played stardew valley for the first time and i wish so badly it was enjoyable to me 😔 i understand the appeal and how easy it is to like sit down & end up playing it for hrs if i was a different person but it is not stimulating enough to me and one thing i HATE in video games is not being able to move fast like having to walk everywhere really slow is the number 1 thing that will make me immediately stop playing a game 😭 i played for like an hr & again i get the appeal but i always said that stardew valley and animal crossing would not be the kind of game for me & i was right 😔 and yet so badly i want to be a butch lesbian tending to my farm and to romance one of the pretty women i just don’t know if it will be playable to me………
