tf2 height hcs <3

obsessed w tf2 rn and these r some hot takes since people do not agree with me apparently // i do requests, go here and here ;)

order: Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Spy. warnings: none,, could be considered angst/fluff, very lighthearted

Scout - he's from good ol' boston, the runt of 7 other siblings so you'd assume he's the shortest but he is fairly tall, i wanna say 5'11 but might call himself 6'0 to impress da ladies B) i feel like he wishes he was taller but not actively, he doesnt really care as he can always just stand next to someone shorter than him to appear taller, just like how he does it to appear attractive /j

Soldier - straight to the point: he's 5'9 but he makes up for it by being a classic himbo, cmon man his sun tzu joke is priceless, to be honest he's too stupid to really care about height or even know his own, all he cares about is shootin' shit and teleporting bread, he probably doesn't even acknowledge anyone elses height, and his helmet covers his eyes so it's not like it matters that much anyway lol

Pyro - i love them and i cannot stand this slander, theyre always depicted as 5'4 but i think they're a nice 5'6, not to mention they absolutely dont give a shit about their height, theyre here for a good time bro, Pyro is literally an arsonist, why would they care when they cook ppl for a living?

Demo - honestly in most pics he's either hunched over or standing like a dumbass so its hard to tell lol but he's somewhere between 5'11-6'2 depends on the day and whatever excuse he wants to tell you. is he insecure? his answer probably differs on if hes sober or not, in which he isnt most of the time but he still manages to be inconsistent nonetheless, he tends to make fun of everyone elses height (shorter AND taller) especially when he's drunk, he's ruthless, he's probably made Heavy cry

Heavy - clearly the tallest of the group, big muscle russian man who loves his sandvich, i honestly feel like he's 6'5 to 6'8, heavy is more insecure about his weight than his height since people always call him fat when it's clearly muscle, he didn't even realise how tall he was until he compared himself to the rest of the team

Engie - people call him the short man of the group and treat him like he's like he's 4 foot nothing but i think he's a humble 5'8, as much as everyone thinks otherwise, he's not insecure about his height! though he wouldn't mind being just a bit taller, he has other charming features (and if someone doesnt like him solely for his height, thats their problem), he can play guitar and is talented in making teleporters and sentries

Medic - another 6'0-6'2 man in the building, as a [cough] doctor he probably knows his height exactly, he's very rational so he's not insecure about his height, as someone who /had/ a medical license, he understands how his body functions him and knows that height is nothing to be ashamed of, though he is proud and does rub it in the shorter team-mates faces occassionally but not often, but does remind them too that it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Sniper - classic aussie/kiwi man, i wanna say 6'4 cause australian men tend to be tall, especially people who live in rural, no clue why, i feel like he's insecure in the sense that people claim to love tall guys but he can't get any bitches </3, he's secure in being 6'4 but wishes that he was more attractive, he's tired of being a young, single entrepreneur

Spy - he's almost as tall as Heavy but shorter than Sniper so i wanna say about 6'2, not to mention he wears dress shoes with heels so give or take an inch or two at any given moment. being the most charming of the group has its upsides, he loves his height (and his dress shoes), and similar to Engie, if someone likes him just for his height, sucks to be them 'cause he's got much more impressive feats

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #hcs #headcanons #height headcanons #height hcs #scout tf2 #soldier tf2 #pyro tf2 #demoman tf2 #demo tf2 #heavy tf2 #engie tf2 #engineer tf2 #medic tf2 #sniper tf2 #spy tf2 #blurb

I was gonna make a request based on your Eren x Gamer Reader post but then I saw you take poly requests... Erejean x Gamer Reader? (She/her pronouns btw ^_^)

sure thing anon! your brain is huge. i started a one shot which is now sitting in my drafts bc i literally dont know how to finish it. maybe i'll post it later but for now here you go headcanons woohoo

eren and jeans dynamic makes it look like its impossible for them to share a girlfriend but it actually? works surprisingly well?

arguing is kinda their love language in a very strange weird way. if theyre not fighting somethings wrong but their like constant bickering actually is rlly important to you three's relationship lmfaooo a lot of communicating is just eren and jean fighting and then you pick up on something they say and you three talk it out. plus its gets all their energy out at the end of the day... like when puppies run around in circles bc they didnt go on long enough walks

jean is the planner of the couple, always making sure you guys get tickets to see this that and whatever, always figures out how ur gonna get places and when everyone will be picked up, makes sure everyones schedules are free and that theres no big game release that you'll miss and eren doesnt have work and jean isnt volunteering

in terms of nerdiness jean is a decent middle ground between you (who says "ummm actually..." unironically) and eren (who thought dungeons and dragons was a kinky thing) because he lives with connie so he gets roped into playing stuff like rainbow six seige and watching battlestar galactica into late hours of the night. also he's an only child who was prone to boredom as a kid so he played video games like any other only child. that being said he has a more extroverted personality and aptitude for sports so he just never got as absorbed in it as you did

this kind of makes eren jealous tbh because he thinks jean has more to relate with you then him. but jealousy is like a natural feeling and despite his feigned reluctance jean is happy to share his knowledge with him.

plus eren realizes that what he lacks in video game and movie knowledge he makes up in anime bc jean is clueless on that front. once you went on this huge rant about how sailor moon would decimate goku in a fight and jean just goes "gokus the pirate with the fox spirit, right? hes trying to become number one pro hero right?"

speaking of eren eren and jean are on the same volleyball team (i hc they play volleyball bc theyre tall but i think theyd be cute on any sports team because im weak hearted) and you become their fave cheerleader <3 they look for you in the stands before each game and have their own little ritual for good luck. when he spots you jean jumps really high (despite the team captain, levi screams at him to save it for when the game starts) and makes a heart with his arms and blows you a kiss when he gets in the air and its so embarrassing so eren just dogpiles the embarassment but giving you an over exaggerated wink its the worst theyre gross

jean gets you into connie's discord server after you complain that people are really rude to you in online games and eren is quick to demand an invite too even though he literally plays nothing and has no idea how discord works. he will log in and ping you to show you a meme and even though connie's server is really chill with rules (like 10 ppl max, just some friends hanging out) he has always wanted to say "no memes in general" so he does it every time. you have to show eren how to use private messages once connie jokes abt eren being his discord kitten.

cuddle pile while watching movies... jean is a film buff so you three have movie nights rlly often. its usually you sandwiched in between them with jean behind you and eren in front of you so you can play with his hair. jean's movie taste is actually really broad and you and eren both find a ton of new favorites through him.

they both really like listening to you ramble. you can explain soooo much lore abt your fave series and theyre both really invested. eren is more invested in the characters while jean is more focused on what happens next, but theyre both listening rlly well and making sure you know they care. they kinda care in different ways though? while eren is just passionate and because he's so passionate he must know about all things you like, jean is either interested or just likes hearing your voice. of the two jean is more likely to give you short answers and he'll be more dozed off so he's good to go to when you just want to rant. eren is going to ask you more questions and get wayyy more confused so he's good to go to when you want to explain or flesh out your points.

jean finds eren's jealousy of fictional characters sooooo ridiculous. whenever eren is pouting about some new video game guy youre in love with jean is rolling his eyes because of course its eren jaeger he's just looking for things to get angry at. "what are they gonna do idiot, come out of the tv?" but then one day there's a character that looks a lot like eren and suddenly he understands everything. but he realizes you have a thing for guys with long hair. he'll keep the mullet around for a while

they both really like having you sat in their laps and (unbeknownst to you) in order to avoid conflict they created a system. cozy game? eren. reading? jean. watching anime? eren. watching something live action? jean. playing a game on your phone? eren. watching an analysis video for your favorite franchise? jean. just messing around on your computer? rock paper scissors, best of three. eren likes to hug you tight and rest his head on your shoulder while talking to you. when it gets quiet he'll nuzzle his face in your neck and give you small kisses there. while jean likes to put his hands under your shirt and rest it on your stomach while you two chat. he's puts his head on your head or throws it back depending on your height and kinda just likes letting his hands wander, like rubbing up and down your arms or tickling you lightly.

you: i hate this stupid game

eren: yeah babe that game fucking sucks (has never played it in his life)

jean: then stop playing it?

you and eren, at the same time: what? no.

all in all they are good boyfriends 10/10 would recommend.

my little passione [design notes and thoughts under the cut]

this is just a very persistent brain worm that got into my head today and wouldnt leave until i drew a bunch of ponies and thought a little too extensively about the reasoning behind these design choices so you get to hear about it now!

giorno was originally an earth pony (connection to the earth and growing things and all that) but the stand arrow (or whatever equestrian artefact is the equivalent, i havent decided on that) just fast tracks him to alicornhood

he looks a lot like dio when he gets his horn and wings

mista is only a unicorn because he needs to hold his gun somehow

the sex pistols are six parasprites that he adopted. everyone else fucking hates them and wishes they were dead. i know parasprites reproduce uncontrollably but just dont worry about that

narancia is scootaloo the sequel in that hes small for his age and had slightly underdeveloped wings from malnourishment so he couldnt fly when he first joined the gang. abbacchio (the other pegasus in the group) took him under his wing (literally lol) and taught him how to fly and train his muscles so they have a very special bond because of that

i havent drawn them yet but fugo is a unicorn and bruno is an earth pony

height order is narancia, giorno pre-alicorning, bruno, mista, giorno post-alicorning, fugo, abbacchio

i think the whole plot of part 5 still happens (maybe minus stands) but theyre just in equestria. killing people. dont worry about it

narancias cutie mark is an orange behind a cloud to represent his Sunny Outlook and Love of Oranges

giornos is his ladybug and wings

trish has music notes. for music.

mista has a gun (and six dots for the sex pistols)

feel free to ask if you want to see more of this. if you dont want to see more then too bad because i will keep drawing it

#jjba #mlp #giorno giovanna #trish una #narancia ghirga #guido mista #my art #i have a fucking worm in my brain that made me OBSESSED with this concept and i dont know WHYYYYY

obey me! hc heights / how the boys would react to you being shorter + taller than them

i recognize that the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid decision, i’ve elected to ignore it

okay peeps so here’s the thing, i am a tall. because i am a tall, i also wish for the boys to be t a l l. because i am incredibly biased. i will only give the weak excuse that it’s because they’re demons and i can do what i want, and what i want is for them to be t a l l .

annnNNYways theyre under the cut from tallest to shortest

beelzebub

i don’t think anyone’s surprised here

probably about 6’6 or 6’7 (198-201cm)

b i g b o i

he’s. tall.

credits it completely to the amount of nutrients he consumes on such a regular basis

he doesn’t care really care about your height too much in comparison to him, he loves u with the entirety of his heart either way

but

if you’re smaller than him (which u most likely are, this boy is a tree), he will no doubt find you just. the cutest. he loves leaning down to kiss the top of your head or to hug you. will definitely pick you up any chance he gets just to carry you.

he loves being able to use himself as a shield and just. hide you completely behind him, especially if your scared or nervous or anxious because of someone/something

if you’re his height or taller, he just. absolutely loves to cuddle with you. he will tangle his legs with yours and just. pretzel around you. your limbs are so long and he’s finally smaller than someone so he will revel in it as much as possible. he llloovveesss your arms and legs.

lucifer

also not a huge surprise

like?? 6’5 (196cm)

he is tall. and graceful. and beautiful. and elegant.

if you’re shorter than him, he will definitely use your head or shoulder as an arm rest. even if you’re the exact same height as him, he’ll insist your shorter and use you as an arm rest. you can’t stop him.

if your taller than him, this boy will

w o r s h i p

your legs

any intimate moment you have

he loves your thighs especially

your legs are just so long and attractive oh geEZ

other than that, he doesn’t act much differently based on your height

this clingy little shit likes you for you, simple as that

belphegor

like 6’4 (193cm)

he a tall boy like his twin (but not as tall. doesn’t get as much nutrients bc he sleep)

i don’t have much of a reason for this other than the fact that like,,,

if you’re shorter than him, he’d be trying to get comfy with you in your bed before eventually giving up because yOUR BED IS SO SMALL WHY CANT HE FIT—

he just

picks you up and brings you to his room, where his bed is huge and he can stretch out all he wants with you

alternatively

you could be the same height as beel, but belphie refuses to be little spoon. you could be ten feet tall and he’d still big spoon. he likes feeling like he’s protecting you when you sleep

also because he’s so used to cuddling with his pillows when he sleeps it just feels natural

leviathan

around 6’3.5 (192cm)

i also don’t have much reason for this other than the fact that he’s a gangly nerd

he isn’t actually a gangly nerd (but he is)

awkward with his body sometimes, like his limbs are too long for him on occasion

loves height differences

probably due to anime because one character is always shorter than the other

he will feel like a protagonist whenever he’s next to you if he’s taller than you

will lose his mind if you raise yourself onto your toes/pull him down in order to kiss him

if you’re his height or taller, honestly at first he’s gonna be a bit :/ about it bc what about his aniME HEIGHT DIFFERENCE—

but when he realizes he has feelings for you, that stops mattering

absolutely loves resting his head on your shoulder when the two of you are playing games (but he can’t do it that often, he gets too flustered and can’t think)

if you wanna win a game of smash, put your arm around him and pull him close. he will ERROR 404

mammon

6’1 (185cm)

for no other reason than i’m biased as hell

also he’s a model so i guess i can use that as an excuse—

even though he’s relatively short compared to the rest of his brothers (like beel holy shit—) he’s still really tall.

his ego will inflate tenfold if he is taller than you

even if you’re the same height, he’ll still insist you’re shorter

“here puny human, let THE great mammon reach this thing on the top shelf for you!”

“mammon i can literally reach it myself, i don’t need—“

lowkey loves it if you pull him down by his tie to kiss him

although he will be flustered for a good amount of time afterwards unless he’s in a Specific Mood

if you’re taller than him, he will very much be blushing mess

easily flustered, loves looking up at you, somehow clingier than usual

will try to do the pull-you-down-by-the-collab thing, but accidentally slam his head into your nose and never attempt it ever again

he’s mortified

asmodeus

somewhere around 5’11 or 6’0 (180-183cm)

he insists that he’s “the perfect height for any lover ;)”

he’d say that no matter what height he is though

honestly could not give less of a damn about how tall you are compared to him

he treats you the exact same

because he loves you, and that’s the only thing that matters to him, really

you could be purple and it wouldn’t change how he feels about you

satan

you can pry (relatively) short satan from my cold, dead hands

5’9 (175cm)

he’s not even too short, but he gets the shit taken out of him by his brothers all the time for being the shortest out of them

has a height complex

if you’re shorter than him he will absolutely 100% be smug about it

he is a little shit

will constantly note how tiny you are compared to him, will kiss the top of your head any chance he gets while the two of you are alone together

it’s a huge ego thing for him

if you’re taller than him, honestly he’s gonna he kinda put-off at first

not to any fault of your own, it’s because of his insecurity

kind of a “goddamnit i thought humans were supposed to be small, this is bullshit, i thought i’d finALLY BE TALLER THAN SOMEONE—“

so please don’t mention his height when the two of you hang out he gets very upset and pouty

for the first little bit at least

he warms up to you the more he gets to know you however, and his height complex really stops mattering when it comes to you

still likes to feel taller than you though

will stand above you when you’re sitting

or fix his posture when you enter the room

he’ll kiss your forehead and rest your head on his chest when the two of you are in bed

and if he’s really shaken by something, one of the only things that efficiently calms him down is you holding him

maybe having a partner that’s taller than him isn’t that bad

bonus!

diavolo - 6’6 (198cm)

simeon - 6’2 (188cm)

barbatos and solomon - 5’10 (178cm)

luke - idk how kids are supposed to be like 4’9 (145cm) ??????

Hi! I saw that you were taking requests from people and I found it on the kylo ren x reader tag. I was wondering if you could do something where the reader and kylo ren/ben solo are training at Luke's Jedi temple. Theyre friends. Its that night at the temple where it burns down and he joins Snoke. I kinda want there to be a small argument between the reader and him where its either the reader joins him or he has to kill her. Thanks!

sorry this took me soooo long i’ve been stuck in a writing rut :(

so this kind of took a dark turn but uhm... here we go

request: I was wondering if you could do something where the reader and kylo ren/ben solo are training at Luke's Jedi temple. Theyre friends. Its that night at the temple where it burns down and he joins Snoke. I kinda want there to be a small argument between the reader and him where its either the reader joins him or he has to kill her.

pairing: ben solo/ kylo ren x reader

warnings: violence

***

“Ben!” You giggle, your breath shortening as you dodge another one of his swings, “You’re going to kill me with that one day, I swear.” You sigh as he deactivates his saber, grinning at you teasingly.

“But how would I live without you?” He pouts jokingly, waiting until you turn around to slide his arms around your waist, resting his chin on your head, the large height difference very obvious.

“Shut up.” You can’t help the blush that rushes onto your face, trying to play things off by acting annoyed.

“You would die of boredom if I stopped talking.” You roll your eyes at his remark, releasing yourself from his grasp as he groans.

“C’mon, Master Luke said we only had 20 minutes to get back.”

“Do we have to? He hates me.”

“He doesn’t hate you Ben, you’re just difficult.” You reason with him as you fall into step, walking back towards the temple where Luke is about to start your next class.

“If I’m so difficult then why are you friends with me? Hm? Hm?” Ben pokes your side annoyingly and you can’t help but laugh. Oh, you adore him.

“I happen to like a challenge.” He laughs at your remark, it comes out as more of a cackle as it tends to do when he finds something especially funny.

You enter the temple in high spirits as you begin the next lesson with Master Luke. You’re so focused on perfecting what he teaches, you don’t notice the nervous glances he frequents towards Ben. Kriff, if you had just been paying more attention that day, maybe you would’ve noticed. Maybe you could have stopped the events of that night.

*******

You sit in the ruins of the jedi temple, pushing a piece of rock back and foot with your toe. You have sat here every night since that night. It has been a couple of weeks now, and you haven’t seen Ben since. According to Luke, he caused the destruction and left to join General Snoke on the dark side of the force. You don’t believe him. Ben wouldn’t do that. Not your Ben.

*******

It’s a few months later when you finally see Ben again. Or, should you say Kylo Ren? You are on your knees, chained in the prison of a First Order vessel, Poe Dameron passed out next to you. You didn’t know what to expect when the masked man entered the room, grilling you for the location of your resistance base with that strange modulated voice. He must know you’re a Jedi, because he doesn’t bother trying to probe your mind. He knows he won’t find anything.

Your whole world stops then, when he removes the mask slowly. Ben Solo. Your best friend, the love of your life, your captor.

“Ben?” Your voice is soft, you can’t seem to grasp that he is standing in front of you, serving the First Order no less.

“Supreme Leader Ren.”

“Ben.” You repeat, unwilling to call him by his new alias.

“Don’t call me that!” You watch with wide eyes as he activates his new saber, his face lit by a sinister red glow as he screams, hitting the wall with the saber over and over again. The wall sparks as he calms down, breathing heavily with an occasional grunt.

You’re distracted as you feel Poe shift next to you, coming to with a groan as he attempts to prop himself up. He looks up, eyes bleary as he tries to assess the situation. Bit late for that.

“Y/N…” He attempts to speak but Ben grumbles, giving him a swift blow to the head with his deactivated saber that knocks him unconscious once more. Two stormtroopers enter the room, not saying anything as they drag Poe’s body out, leaving you alone with this creature that looks like the boy you once loved.

“What are you going to do to me?”

“I’m going to liberate you.” His voice shakes with intensity and he kneels to be on your level, still towering over you slightly due to his height.

“What do you mean?” You’re confused. He knows how much power you have, it makes more sense for him to kill you straight away.

“I’m not going to kill you.” You sigh, of course he can hear your thoughts, “Not unless you resist me.”

You laugh, a mean cackle that sounds foreign coming from you, “I would rather die than ever betray the resistance. How could you, Ben?”

“YOU BETRAYED ME FIRST!” He screams, his voice cracking as he thinks back to the events of the night. He takes you by surprise when he falls down, his head resting on your thighs as he lets out a pained groan. You can feel the sadness radiating off him, hitting you in waves. Your brows furrow and tears prick your eyes as you thread your hands into his long hair.

Whenever he used to get upset, he’d always feel better after you played with his hair. You know that Ben is still in there, you can feel it, maybe you can try and appeal to him.

“Ben…” You start, your voice soft as you try to flood your mind with good memories of the two of you, knowing that he is looking. You try to move your hands as much as you can to cup his face, which is hard considering you’re slightly restrained. You pull his face up so he is looking at you and you smile weakly, your thumb brushing his jawline oh so gently.

“I’m not Ben anymore, Y/N.”

You shake your head, unwilling to accept this new development, “You’ll always be my Ben.” A tear falls down your cheek messily, but you can’t wipe it away since your hands are preoccupied. It travels down your face and falls onto Ben’s own cheek, causing him to reach up and touch it himself.

“Emotions…” He starts, scoffing as he rips his head from your hands, “What are they good for? Love. Trust. I trusted Luke, and look what happened.”

“What are you talking about?” Kylo laughs evilly at your cluelessness, getting up and striding over to the opposite side of the room.

“Of course he kept it a secret. What a coward. That night that the temple burnt down, your precious Master Skywalker tried to kill me in my sleep.”

Your eyes widen as Ben reveals the events of that night, there had always been a mystery surrounding it, but you never would’ve thought something like that had happened. You go to speak, but are swiftly cut off as Ben continues his rant.

“I woke up, I could feel that something was wrong, and all I could see was green. I didn’t think I’d turn to find my Master inches away from ending my life. He was supposed to protect me, help me. The resistance is a joke, looking up to that… that murderer.” He spits the last word, taking a deep breath as he takes one last look at you over his shoulder.

You watch silently as he puts his mask back on, the Ben you once knew disappearing behind a sheet of dark metal.

“You have an hour to decide. You join me or you die.” He hisses through the mask, his voice unrecognisable, and he leaves suddenly, the door sliding shut after him and leaving you alone with your thoughts.

You think of the first time you ever met Ben.

You awkwardly stumbled your way through the crowd, nerves fluttering through your belly as you look around at all the other young Jedi you would soon be training with. Your eyes widen as you accidentally step on the foot of someone standing beside you, and you rush to apologise.

“Oh, goodness, I’m so sorry.” You look up, surprised by the kind smiling eyes looking down at you.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s crowded in here.”

“Tell me about it.” You chuckle nervously, eyes darting around the room once more. The tall, long haired boy nudges you lightly to gain your attention again.

“Hey, don’t be nervous. Stick with me, okay? Skywalker’s my uncle, I’ve got your back. I’m Ben.”

Your eyes widen, slightly awestruck as you realise who is standing in front of you, “Ben Solo?”

“The one and only,” He chuckles, running a hand through his dark hair, “what’s your name?”

“Y/N Y/L/N.”

If only you knew then where you would end up now, would you have ever even considered being friends with the man who would eventually kill you?

******

Poe sits in the dark room, his head in his hands as Finn places a hand on his back. They raise their heads when they hear footsteps, Poe’s lip trembling slightly as Leia steps into the room. She approaches the two men with a kind smile, quietly asking Finn for a moment alone with Poe.

She takes a seat on the bench next to him as Finn excuses himself.

“There was nothing you could have done, Poe.” She speaks softly, placing a warm hand over Poe’s shaking ones, “The influence of the light was too much for him to handle, he would have done anything to get rid of it.”

“I was in the room next to her, General.” Poe breathes out, running his free hand over his face as his mind flashes back to the gut wrenching way you screamed Ben’s name before his saber pierced your heart.

“There was nothing you could have done. You can’t blame yourself for this, it’s not what they would have wanted.” She strokes his hair lightly, reminding him that they would be late for the memorial service. “We lost two good people, Poe. The rest of this fight is in their honor. Han Solo and Y/N Y/L/N did not die in vain.”

nanoha vivid liveblog: episode 11

Time for Corona vs. Einhart!

ok, i know wendi is referring to teo, but i did misinterpret at the start as einhart has been nicknamed kitty cat

... still better than most of the other contestants

attacking from the start, before corona can summon. it’s the obvious weakness of anyone who needs prep in the way she does

but shes ready for this it seems, and starts summoning while still in the air, which is pretty cool

oooh, i don’t think anyone else has used the terrain like this. makes you wonder how corona would fare in a larger or varied arena

damn. the goliath packs a punch

Einhart know the first rule of fighting someone with a summoned creature: directly attack the controller

Or in this case, separate her from the golem to where she’s vulnerable

Oh, seems like goliath needs pretty active instructions at all times, which means with corona knocked away, he just kinda stands there and gets hit

the most brutal attack of this match

I think we’ve seen elements in this in how corona started planning from the assumption that einhart could beat her: she’s very level-headed. That extending into combat is valuable, especially in a setting like this where her opponents are also amateurs and likely to falter under pressure. Though einhart might be less vulnerable to that, due to her war memories

her strengths fit her powers well. She literally creates in order to fight, and she needs to be strategic in order to get time and space to summon.

is she gonna stab einhart

This is a very calm match, in comparison to the others we’ve seen. It’s partly that theyre friends, and there’s no grudge driving them, but also just a lot who they are as people. Einhart and corona are both relatively quiet, but also self-assured. They have good understandings of their own abilities, and you can see that here in how calmly they return to the ring, theres no worry about running out of time or how theyre going to continue

flashback time!

I really love the range of motivations and backstories this show gives the contestants. You do have people with tragic backstories, or who want to prove themselves, or have a deep passion for martial arts, but you also have those who just value the connections it brings, or for whom its just an extracurricular. You don’t need to be deeply motivated to do something, it can still be a meaningful part of your life, and you’re not lesser or shallower for it.

I also like the idea (idk if this is canon) that Corona sought out summoning because she recognized that she couldn’t keep up with normal fighting. It’s a unusual thing in a fighting show to have a character who isn’t at the same level as everyone else, and who finds their own style that draws on different strengths.

this is a great summary of everyone’s motivations, but also einhart is hilariously incongruous with the others

OH SHIT I THOUGHT THE PARTIAL SUMMONING WAS HER NEW TECHNIQUE

HOLY

FUCKING

CHRIST

shes just knocking einhart around effortlessly

ooooooh

This makes a lot of sense for Corona’s character! She’s a clever and observant fighter who’s willing to innovate but not particularly talented, and who takes motivation primarily from her friends. Of course she studies their techniques, and of course she copies them

And no wonder einhart was caught off guard, it’s like she was suddenly fighting a different person

but einhart gets up

she’s spent her life struggling with hundreds of years of guilt and grief, and just keeps on going through all of that

i think klaus may have been defined by his loss, but einhart is defined by the strength it takes to carry that loss

…y’know, you could have rested a little bit before forcing yourself up, there was plenty of time

oh this is tricky. Can corona press an attack, which is definitely outside her normal mode of fighting, or does she give up the advantage she’s won here?

The other question is if corona also learned anything from rio, or from einhart herself, though I think using her own style against her could backfire badly

… if that’s based off vivio, it’s primarily a counter, and using it for a direct attack might not work as well

ducking like that is both well suited to the height difference, and one of vivio’s signature moves

most of how corona’s moving here fits vivio, or any of the more close quarter fighters we’ve seen, but that arm sweep looked new to me, and seems very indicative of corona’s fighting style. Calm, collected, redirecting the opponent.

and in contrast, you can see how panicked einhart looks, which is very unusual for her

Okay, things are looking bad for einhart here. But she’ll have a chance to heal, and I think the next round will go differently. A lot of corona’s success here is she’s brought out completely new techniques and styles, and einhart’s just been reeling most of the bout: all her fighting’s been very basic hand-to-hand, with basically no hegemon style attacks or more elaborate moves. But with a chance to collect herself and replan, I think einhart’s experience will let her adapt to this fairly quickly. Additionally, a lot of corona’s new moves are based off vivio, who einhart has fought (and beat) before.

so she has copied from rio as well

that’s a neat twist. It explains how she was able to pick these moves up so quickly, and how she can handle without any particular skill at martial arts. This also explains why Nove disapproved: I can’t imagine using techniques meant to control large amounts of stone on your own body is particularly safe.

That’s fucking cool.

And also a massive weakness, because it makes her predictable. If einhart can figure out what triggers one of those moves, then immediately counter based on knowing how corona will respond, she can retaliate very quickly

from your own memories, or klaus’s?

this is the complete opposite of how I’d expected an einhart vs corona fight to play out

yeah, she’s not just copying specific moves, but entire fighting styles. that is honestly incredible, especially when you consider she had to pre-program them all herself

awww, i’m glad to see she’s in there too

Having multiple settings gives corona a lot more flexibility…

...but einhart’s already figuring out the pattern

I can’t help but think this technique would work a lot better on anyone else. Corona has the disadvantage her of her opponent already knowing all the sources of her automated moves, but imagine a fight where one side keeps pulling out new completely unknown styles every couple of hits.

I guess that’s why this isn’t common

Oops

Yeah the other reason einhart can deal with this is she has a completely ridiculous level of knowledge about this one particular style

And corona is starting to fight wildly, while einhart remains calm. This is a complete reversal of the previous round

Holy fuck is that blood

~tempting faaaate~

and yup, automation is weak to feints from people who know the moveset.

Though to be fair, I don’t know if a non-automated fighter would have dealt with that any better

DOES THIS TOURNAMENT FOR CHILDREN HAVE SAFETY STANDARDS

PLEASE DO NOT MAGICALLY PUPPET YOUR OWN ENTIRE BODY

i feel like that would go badly

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

theres some excellent and creepy puppet imagery going on here

And einhart mostly just looks sad here. I’m guessing with memories of actual war, she’s not that happy about her friends pushing themselves this dangerously for a competition?

OR ITS ABOUT OLIVIE AGAIN

because this is einhart, and everything always comes back to olivie

But yeah, the puppet connection would be a bad reminder. And corona’s whole feeling weak compared to her teammates, and wanting to be able to stand next to them, seems like it connects pretty strongly to olivie’s story

she just looks so tired and sad here, and i’m remembering how happy she was at the idea of a way to fight without stakes, and she’s just now realizing that even if they aren’t lethal, there are still consequences to these matches

at this point, einhart is pretty in control of the battlefield. she’s brilliant at this kind of fighting, and corona doesn’t have any moves that einhart hasn’t already fought against

I’m starting to think this fight won’t end with an attack, but with corona just collapsing when her magic or body wears out

another connection to olivie with the damaged arms. this must be hell for einhart to have to fight

gods

just, can someone stop this match please? are there any kinds of precautions?

and here’s the hardest part for einhart. Because of her memories, she has a pretty unique first-hand perspective on war. I don’t think mid-childa has had a war, and certainly not recently enough to still have wartime soldiers around. And even with all the pain they cause her, there must be some comfort in the fact that olivie’s dream of peace was achieved, even at the cost of her life. But here, even in this peaceful world, there are still children willing to hurt themselves terribly in order to have the power to fight. And this must feel like such a failure and betrayal of the world to einhart.

THEN STOP

NO, GIVE UP PLEASE

THAT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM

i want nanoha to show up to stop the match and yell at everybody about techniques that excessively strain your body

THERES MORE?!!!??!!

ok, that’s a fair point. Corona has pulled out some really impressive moves here, but she hasn’t done much in the way of golem stuff. I wonder if in her rush to make up for her weaknesses, she’s discounted her own techniques too much?

finally

corona has amazing terrain manipulation abilities. combine that with her summoning, the automated moves, and even i guess the full body technique, and she’s maybe the most versatile fighter we’ve seen. In a larger area with unfamiliar opponents, or as support for a team, she’d be devastating.

all those anime characters who dramatically slice rocks in half with a sword have nothing compared to einhart

ooh, nice feint using the partial summon as well as the big one. even here at the end, corona continues to fight smart

and now she has a ranged attack as well. no matter the outcome of the tournament, i’m voting corona for mvp

awwwwww

and she uses binding magic as well, because apparently corona reacted to not being as good at punching people as her friends by learning EVERYTHING ELSE

bit of tonal dissonance, but awwwww kitty!

and her golem can reassemble itself.

corona is amazing

but einhart is the martial arts master, and she just stops it stone cold

what a hell of a match. this was definitely my favorite fight so far, and the finale’s gonna have a tough time topping that. The variety of techniques and strategies used, as well as the brilliant character work on corona and einhart, made this incredible to watch.

it was hard fought, and corona pulled out ten times what anyone expected from her, but in the end einhart managed a victory

but in the aftermath, she just looks defeated

this was a hard match emotionally on all sides

(i count myself as a side)

Rainbow 6 OCs

I!!!!! Finally!!!!!! Finished!!!!! My!!!! Rainbow 6 Siege OCs!!!!!!!!!!! I’m really happy how this kinda turned out jifjfi my new babies i love them. I’m gonna have so much fun implementing them in r6s universe lmao i’m gonna post my first (r6) fic about them soon lol

Also i cant draw shit so i made their (casual-look ofc cuz cant find military-chara sheet thing) character design using Picrew (this website is really great btw) so dont blame me if theyre looking too anime-y jdojofjfo

More info about OCs below!!!!

1. Beruang (’Bear’ in Indonesian) Real Name: Lukman Susilo Sanjaya Age: 37 (As of 2019) Organization: Kopassus Position: Attacker Birthplace: Tegal, Central Java, Indonesia Date of Birth: January 12, 1982 Height: 5'10'' (1.79m) Weight: 177lbs (80kg) Armor: Medium Speed: Medium

Appearance: He wears standard Kopassus uniform but his face is covered by black half-mask and shades. In his free time, he usually wears bland t-shirt and sport pants. He’s kinda hairy, has a little bit of stubble and scar under his right eye. (Casual look:)

Personality: Serious 24/7. Difficult to approach since he only gives necessary/short answers if asked. He never seeks company of other people, and sometimes can be oblivious about things not related to his job.

Appears stoic, but it’s not because he doesn't have any feelings. He just doesn't know or can't express his emotion to other people except Jasmine. Lowkey insecure about himself, like thinking he's 'not good enough' and people deserves someone better than him.

It's hard for him to have a close relationship with other people other than Kirana because of his insecurity as well his oblivious and stoic personalities. It's not impossible, just hard and take a lot of work before someone could call Lukman their friend or even boyfriend.

Special Gadget: Bear Knuckles - It's basically a pair of gloves shaped like bear paws, used to further increase the power of Lukman's fist (It should be noted that his punch is already strong before he put on the gloves), allowing him to break any surfaces (except steel, for now at least). Yes, it's technically like Sledge's hammer but it's his fist instead lol. Punching a person without holding back with this will likely put them unconscious or heavily injured.

Unfortunately, it's powered by battery and can only be used a few times before it runs out. It must be charged before he can use it.

Short Biography: As a son of the current Major General of Indonesian's Special Forces Kopassus, Beruang's life was revolved around how to be just like his father. With his incredible strength and agility, coupled with knowledge of various martial arts, a fight without a weapon is what he shines the most. Calm and obedient, Beruang is one of excellent soldier Kopassus had, a War Machine ready to serve under his country.

Psychological Report: Suffers from a condition where he can't express his emotion and low self-esteem where he claimed that he's never good enough. It is believed that harsh training and upbringings from the environment he lived in was the cause of those problems. While he's good at his job, his social skill is very lacking, and he himself appears to be distancing himself with his teammates other than one person.

2. Jasmine Real Name: Kirana Tunggadewi Pitaloka Age: 26 (As of 2019) Organization: Kopassus Position: Defender Birthplace: Malang, East Java, Indonesia Date of Birth: July 18, 1993 Height: 5'5'' (1.65m) Weight: 131 lbs (59kg) Armor: Light Speed: Fast

Appearances: wears standard Kopassus uniform and her face is also covered with black half-mask and shades. In her free time, she usually wears colorful clothes, along with this black-chocker thing she always wear. She has short, neck-length straight short hair. (Casual look:)

Personality:

She has two personas. A facade she used to manipulates others: Kind, supportive, and positive. And then her real self, which so far only Six and Lukman knows: Lazy, vengeful, manipulative, and cold. She loves gossip, and although usually lazy, she will put a lot of effort into works that beneficial/important to her (such as maintaining her face around other operators or learning 'perfect english' before joining Rainbow).

But, Kirana is loyal and helpful towards people she thinks as her friends. If they're in trouble, you bet Kirana will try to cheer them up or maybe even hurt those who hurt her friends. She can be easily stressed, which surfaced as paranoia and mild anxiety. She also has abandonment issues, but no one know about this.

Due to her upbringings and her job as a spy, she would do anything to obtain important information she ordered to. Like for example, if someone ask her for intercourse in exchange of information, she would do it as long that information is very important and worth the deal (if not, she wouldn't do it and if they lied about it, she would kill them on site). She doesn't believe in and sometimes even disgusted with people in romantic relationship (like dating/engaged/married/etc), especially those who is in relationship with their workmates, but she's down for one night stand and such.

(It's not impossible for her to be in romantic relationship, but it is very hard to tie her in it)

Special Gadget: White Petals - Five small gadgets shaped together to look like jasmine flower. There's two set of this, one that function like Kapkan's gadget: Putting it on the side of a doors/windows/any openings and watch as everyone that walk through it get electrocuted. It's strong electric surge could even renders someone unconscious. Unfortunately, people could just jumped over/crawled under the gadgets to avoid it when it activates. But the gadget itself is very small, so it can be difficult to spot.

The second set of White Petals is a gadgets that works kinda like smoke grenade, usually used by Jasmine when she have to run. When thrown, it filled the entire room with a special, thick smokes that not even drone could see through. Unfortunately, it last only for a couple of seconds.

Short Biography: Born and raised in a family where her parents worked as spies, naturally Jasmine herself was shaped to be one. Claimed to be one of the best spy her country ever had, she never failed to complete her mission in obtaining and gathering information. While her firearms skill is lacking compared to other operators, her skill of espionage, her cunning thinking, and her good self-defense skill prove herself to be a spy to be reckoned with.

Psychological Report: Her facade personality seems to be a defense mechanism she put up to make herself appears benign and easy to communicate with, which what she needed for her job so she would be least suspicious. On rare cases someone's grow suspicious of her, she would be stressed which resort to anxiety and paranoia. Regardless, she doesn't have any issues in engaging in large group of individuals and offers genuine help and advice to people she care about.

3. Angel Real Name: Florence Marie Walanda Tambayong Age: 31 (As of 2019) Organization: Indonesian National Armed Forces (Land) Position: Defender Birthplace: North Minahasa, North Sulawesi, Indonesia Date of Birth: April 29, 1988 Height: 5'7'' (1.70m) Weight: 143 lbs (65kg) Armor: Light Speed: Fast

Appearance: Wearing standard Indonesian Army uniform, also wears crucifix-necklace. In her free time, she usually wears long-sleeves black/gray/white/pink shirts with silly designs (like some Indonesian words or random bootleg characters) or sweaters and capri pants. If she's on duty treating operators in the medical facility, she wears lab coat, surgical mask, and white gloves. Also her skin is darker compared to the other two ops. (Casual look:)

Personality: Brutally honest but also cheerful and friendly. She likes to socialize/interact with everyone, joining any kind of 'fun' activities, and laugh the loudest at jokes that’s not even funny. She cares a lot about her teammates' condition, so much to the fact that if she ever see any kind of injury or sickness, she will 'fix' them. She doesn't care if they refuse her treatment, she WILL treat them with or without their permission.

She's very dedicated and focus on her works. Even if she lose her limbs, as long she's still has consciousness and able to move, she will try her damnest to treat injuries and sickness.

Special Gadget: Nightingale - A first aid kit she named after a figure she idolizes. Said kit is filled with numerous vitamins, boosters, bandages, medicines, scissors, needles, etc. It's equipped with every medical stuff you can imagine, people wonders how the hell can all that stuffs are stored in it. The gadget itself isn't very special, but Angel's adrenaline rush make her performs medical operations perfectly whenever she uses this kit on someone, so it's more like a mixture of a very-equipped first aid kit and Angel's excellent determination to save lives, just like Florence Nightingale.

In game, this could heals or revives operators to full-health with additional 30 health points. Unfortunately, it can only be used thrice before it ran out.

Short Biography: Her involvement in medical world began at University of Indonesia where she eventually got her medical degree. After that, she worked as a nurse in a local hospital before she joined Indonesian Red Cross Society and eventually served as medical staff in Indonesian Army. With her excellent comprehension of human anatomy, she vowed to erase sickness and pain from everyone.

Psychological Report: With her optimism and carefree attitude, Angel has no trouble making friends in every place she stay. However, trauma about her failure to nurse injured civilians back to health in 2009 Sumatra Earthquake took a toll in her mental state. This resulted in her strong dedication and commitment in her job, which usually would be a good thing to have but it made her force anyone with injuries or sickness, no matter how small it is, to be nursed by her. She doesn't take no for an answer, in fear of her past experiences. It is best for one to approach her in a healthy condition.

Trivia:

- Jasmine studied in Airlangga University and got bachelor's degree in Psychology, Angel studied in University of Indonesia and got (obviously) medical degree, while Beruang studied in military academy.

- Jasmine speaks Japanese to some extent, like she doesn't know proper grammar for each situation (Japanese has different grammars for any situation, like speaking in workplace or towards elders for example) but she can understand and communicate in it. She studied it all by herself, mostly because she's a weeb.

- As said before, Jasmine is a big weeb. She watches a lot of Japanese dramas or animes, also plays a couple of Japanese's mobile games like Fate/Grand Order and Love Live. This is what she mostly do in her free time.

- All of them like spicy food, although Jasmine likes sweet food a little more. As such, if they're cooking a meal you bet it will be spicy as fuck.

- Beruang loves coffee while Jasmine and Angel loves iced tea. Both Beruang and Jasmine doesn't like alcohol, although Jasmine might drink wine or champagne a little, while Angel is open to trying variety of alcohol drinks.

- Jasmine's hobbies includes cooking and gaming, Beruang's hobbies are reading history or watching documentary films, and Angel's hobbies are treating patients and jogging.

- Regarding their sexuality, Beruang is gay (still in the closet, only Jasmine knows). Jasmine's down to have sex with anyone so she’s more of a pansexual, while Angel is straight but dedicates her life to her work so much she doesn't care about romance or sexual activities.

- As said before in his special gadget entry, Beruang is strong. Literally strong, his fist could destroy wood in a second without him putting his gloves on. Although without his gadget, he can't destroy bricks and such (might leave a dent on it though). If angry (which is thankfully unusual), he can't control his power and might break something he hold at the moment.

- As mentioned in his biography, out of various martial arts' learned, Beruang is great at judo and silat. He would use Judo technique the most in a fight, though.

- Beruang thinks of Jasmine as his little sister, while Jasmine thinks of Beruang as either her best friend or a dad. They have close platonic relationship regardless, although Jasmine had a crush on him a while ago (before she knew he's gay).

- While regarding Angel, Jasmine and her dislike each other. Beruang is neutral with Angel, and Angel regards him as a friend.

- Beruang's favorite animals: German shepherd. Jasmine's favorite animal: any cats. Angel's favorite animals: Parrot.

i yeet’d holliday for this child o’ mine pls love her bc i love her sm i’ll prolly change her fc to sophie turner as soon as i get tired of cropping gifs of saoirse but enjoy her face for now sksksk. like this n i’ll come to u!!

tw: fire, death, cancer, etc. etc.

gen. info

full name: aster holloway

nickname(s): n/a, give her one n she’ll cut you probably

b.o.d. - april 1st.

label(s): the hellcat, the minefield, the connard, etc. etc.

height: probably like 5′7″ or 5′8″ tbh

hometown: inglewood, california

sexuality: chaotic. lesbian.

bio. info

hasn’t had the most......stable, life

born to dahlia verbeck, a botanist, wildlife conservationist, and volunteer firefighter whose presence was very well known in south california’s environmental scene

to keep a long story short, she married maverick holloway; a sleazy low-rank cop with a smoking problem and an obnoxious personality when she was 19. he was nearly twice her age. nobody knows why she married him, or why she tolerated him

the relationship was by no means abusive, but it was lackluster

this led to dahlia having a one night stand, and baba boom baba bing, aster was conceived

the only one who knew that the child wasn’t maverick’s was dahlia’s twin brother, donovan, whose career was p much the exact same as dahlia’s

they were basically both mad scientists; when dahlia started slacking because of her pregnancy, donovan would kick it up

like ykno the twin scientists in bioshock infinite ?? that them like they were eerily alike, always finishing each other’s sentences. nightmare fuel.

the only difference was that donovan was considerably less intense than dahlia b/c dahlia was the kinda lass who would set fire to your car

anywAYs so aster was born and everything was fine n dandy until she got a lil older and it suddenly became clear that this child was absolutely not maverick’s at all because they looked. nothing alike. like u know when u can just tell ?? yeah. yeah u could tell

maverick left dahlia afterwards and it was essentially up to her to raise aster alone. donovan had his own wife and kid to take care of and sort of backed down from his career to do so. house dads ftw

aster grew up knowing her dad as some ‘deadbeat no good’ simply bc dahlia was bitter

also grew up as the kid who would hold worms over another kid’s face and taunt them w/ it. so like, playground bully. that was aster. she’s not ashamed of it

she was often left on her own to do her own kinda shit b/c her mom was always busy out in nature n’ shit but aster never minded; loved her mom a Lot

aster’s life changed when she was nine

her mother had been doing research out in the ~wilderness~ with donovan, after months of convincing him of doing this one last project with her~ when the wildfires started

it spread so fast, and they were already too far away from the road

it took them two months to confirm that the twins were dead

rather than leave aster to maverick, elaine--donovan’s wife--took her under her wing and moved across the country to boston alongside myra, her daughter

elaine always held a resentment towards aster because of her mother, but never did anything about it--it was just always, sorta, implied ?

but myra and aster got along swimmingly despite being polar opposites

aster was p much a feral child, and myra had been receiving etiquette lessons since birth, practically--like, literally

elaine put them in the same hobbies but aster always found ways to be wildly different from the ~standard~

myra learned cello and flute, aster started up on bass and drums (breaking both instruments, repeatedly, for many years)

elaine forced dance onto the both of them, and whilst they both excelled at ballet--aster switched over to a more free-flowing dance as soon as she was able to

(that and when elaine tried to put aster in sports instead of dance--figuring her fiery nature would be put to good use--aster managed to get kicked off of every single team of every single sport she tried b/c of her aggression. theyve had to fight a few lawsuits after aster’s broken a number of noses and sporting equipments)

myra was learning two languages, aster? dyslexic and could barely read english as it was; science made sense to her, however. plants? especially.

people confused myra and aster for twins nearly all the damn time, despite only being cousins, they were so alike and yet so opposite

that was, of course, until they got into a nasty spat when they were seventeen

it was something about dead parents and resentments and yadda yadda; it didn’t end well

aster wound up running away......all the way back to los angeles.

n i mean like......homegirl literally managed to run away across the gd country w/o getting caught or murdered

by the time she arrived in los angeles her aunt was sort of like ‘fuck it ur almost 18′ b/c....aster was nearly 18 by the time she arrived in the city, and elaine contacted maverick who in which found aster

aster did not want to go with him, after hearing stories about him just being no-good

but at that point, maverick was one of los angeles’ head detectives with a beautiful apartment and a beautiful wife and a beautiful dog and just kind of living his best life ?? after dahlia’s death he had really cleaned himself up y’kno

aster still kind of resented him but that was more of an inner thing

anyways she started attending ucla b/c her mother attended ucla, but her mother wasn’t a part of a sorority

it was one of those spur of the moment decisions and like nobody knows how aster ended up in theta sigma eta b/c she’s like a grumpy grandmother

but like she dun’ did that

we stan

a year ago maverick was diagnosed w cancer and has been in the hospital battling it ever since, aster is admittedly effected by it but like would never tell anybody ever

she doesn’t really tell anybody anything about her life, like, it’s a gd mystery

uuuuuuuuh aster works in a floral shop as a florist and grows her own shit ranging from fruits, vegetables, weed, shrooms, uh opium poppies yeah she Does that

it’s organic n fresh n shit like the devil works hard but aster works harder

she doesn’t really ~sell~ too often b/c she’s kinda selfish w her stash but it’s some top notch shit when she does

no she doesn’t grow in the floral shop she’s not Stupid

aster inherited some of her mother’s properties Out There so she drives up almost everyday to take care of her plants

uuuhh fun fact, aster’s part of a dance like...company, kind of? but not really ? outside of ucla b/c she hates being involved in school shit besides habitat for humanity

personality

v v v harsh tbh

she won’t beat around the bush, usually...brutally honest, tbh?

like lbr she’s kind of a bitch too

just v offputting at first b/c she tells it like how it is n doesn’t rly care abt ur problems

doesn’t go around lookin’ for new friends but if you’re tight w her then she’ll probably die for u like she’s v loyal

but if u wrong her like even once she’ll drop u and treat u like right shit

she either feels intensely or nothing at all n that’s like. smth u have to deal w/

she’s v v v chaotic neutral, bordering evil--really works in her own favors

became a botanist after her mother bc she admired her mother more than anybody else

not saying that being vegan is a personality trait

but

aster’s a vegan

n just super hardcore into saving the earth n shit?

litter and she’ll break ur nose, basically

v into sustainable living n shit. rides her bicycle everywhere if she can, rly rarely drives, doesn’t do fast fashion at ALL

v v passionate, will argue w/ u until u admit she’s right even if she’s painfully wrong

like super stubborn, v opinionated, assumes the worst of u immediately

a lil cynical, but is more realist than pessimist

BIG FUCKING GAY

like so gay

she’s not Out-Out but she definitely doesn’t hide it, just doesn’t think it’s necessary to be like ‘im gay’ every 5 minutes n doesn’t think it’s necessary to let ppl kno she’s gay b/c shes just like....its my business

kinda bitch to flirt w dudes for fun in order to lead them on, get them to do things for her, etc. etc. just to disappoint in the end

this is big dumbass energy b/c that’s how u get stabbed

unless aster stabs u first

kinda gal who’ll key ur car if u piss her off during a class debate, but will also stick thumb tacks into ur wheels n shit too

like.....i said she’s spiteful, right? b/c she can b so spiteful

really, genuinely, has no regard for other ppl’s feelings

her music taste is either heavy rock or straight up like grimes/die antwoord there is no in between (prolly listens to billie eilish tho)

owns a pet tarantula n yes she has it in her dorm n Yes she brings it out n plays w it n shit her name is stevie nicks n u better respect her

big slut

would never cheat on u but also probably wouldn’t date u in the first place bc she’s scared of like....being in a relationship b/c all of hers are p much on the rocks

probably carries around a pocket knife at all times

probably bought said pocket knife from a dude in an alleyway for like $5

myra also goes to ucla and theyre 100% still not speaking but that’s bc they’re both too stubborn to go to each other but like lbr aster misses her cousin

v unruly, nvr brushes her hair, usually got dirt on her clothes bc she’s prolly been digging in gardens or stealing flowers or some shit

bright side is tht she always smells like flowers

theta sigma eta is lucky b/c she cooks her own meals w her own fresh veggies n shit n she always makes too much food n like ? so good

but anyways she’s also got like no manners okay she’s so impolite

uuuuuuh god i dunno what else

Best tips posted on 'things you didn't know you could do in BotW', posting here for reference!

When you have bombs equipped, you can drop them from the air and detonate them while paragliding by pressing the L button.

With a Hinox you can put on your stealth suit and then get onto his hand. Crouch down, then when he goes to scratch himself he'll lift you right onto his chest.

I didn't know you could just hold a Warm/Cold weapon to fight off the cold/heat.

Blue Hinoxes have shin guards made out of barrels around their legs. You can set them on fire, making them panic and try and stomp them out, which gives you extra time to attack them without retaliation. Doesn't work on the black one though, their shin guards are made of leather or something.

Metal actually, you can electrocute them.

When it's raining, any electrified sword like a great thunder sword or thunder blade does a lot of extra damage to enemies.

Continuously sneakstrike. If you sneakstrike an enemy- they automatically go into a drop animation. when they stand back up- they will quickly face the direction you hit them from- so just stand opposite of that and sneakstrike them again and again. (make quick work of silver enemies)

bokoblins/moblins go to sleep from 10pm to 4am unless theyre on watch duty.

a jump into a shield slide is essentially a doublejump. you get extra height and distance- you can quickly unequip it before landing to avoid durability loss.

you can stasis+ an octorok's rock and neuter it for 10 seconds- as it can only have one rock at a time.

drop 5 wood then light it up. free infinite updraft. you've come across a korok pinwheel challenge and are low on arrows? use this updraft to get slowmo and hit each of them easily. also use it to slowmo on Lynels for easy kills. Use it as a discount Revali's gale too.

Jump cancel- attacks. Certain attack animations can be cancelled with a jump. Its uses? Timing. If you do the 2hand stamina swing- it finishes with a large overhead swing. But that takes long and you can't move while doing it. So just jump cancel out of the swing as means to end it without that finisher.

You can cancel most attacking animations by jumping or dodging. And specifically for Heavy Weapons, you can cancel some attacks by running. By doing this, some weapons can get a nice speed boost in terms of attacking speed, especially the Heavy Weapons. You can even cancel dash attacks and spin attacks this way. The only real exception is a Spear's dash attack, which lingers for too long and can't really be canceled effectively.

Star Fragments can be used as a very good light source, when held, if you don't have a torch. They're brighter than most other items you can hold, including bombs or Luminous Stones.

Chu Jellies are a decent source of early income since you don't really need to use them for much, and you can drop normal Chu Jellies next to a fire place to easily turn them into Fire Chu Jellies. Using this method, the selling price doubles from 5 rupees to 10, and additionally they make for a great fire starter if you don't want to bother with flint.

Hinox enemies are particularly weak to being struck in the face with a Metal Box via Magnesis. This trick especially helps on Eventide Island, which allows you to take him out with little to no trouble. Just lure him up the path that leads up to the Bokoblins and Electric Chu Jellies (after taking them out of course), and then use Magnesis to whack the Hinox in the face with a Metal Box over and over again before he eventually dies.

And speaking of Thunderstorms and metal weapons, you can place a metal weapon in a pile of dropped Chu Jellies in order to create Lighting Chu Jellies.

An easy way to reflect a Guardian's beam attacks is by standing at the exact distance where they stop moving to approach you, waiting for them to charge their beam attack, and then immediately hitting the Parry button as soon as you see a blue light emit from their eyes (right after the red circle is gone). If your timing is good, you'll be able to deflect their shot most of the time. Adjust your distance to better suit your timing, such as walking slowly backwards to give yourself a few frames of extra timing.

The Royal Claymore is one of the best weapons in the game, and it is super easy to get. It respawns at the top of Woodland Tower. 52 damage + 40 uses.

Ry’s note: try using Revali’s Gale to get on top of the stone thing if you’re not confident with your climbing!

You can stasis+ enemies then run up behind them and sneakstrike them.

You can throw rusty weapons at Octorocs who will clean the weapon and make it quite formidable.

Octoroks that do the deep inhale only...

When using weapons such as fire rods pressing R won't throw the weapon. Instead it allows you to aim your shots.

You can use stasis on a Bokoblin on horseback as they gallop towards you..It doesn't effect the horse so they end up stuck in the air as their horse runs off!

You can cause those large groups of keese to flee by using stasis on one of them, and it works from quite far away.

in many shrine trial puzzles you can stand on a button and use stasis on it to freeze the button in the pressed position long enough until you can make it to the gate, or in many trials there are hidden secondary chests that are made out of metal and you can push them around with magnesis to interact with the main puzzle to push boulders or conduct electricity or weigh down a switch

repeat the path to zoras domain and fight all the lizalfos along the way for many arrow pick ups, use lightning protection/immunity if you have it

Red jellies are more abundant than flint, and instantly ignite when tossed on briars. Additionally, they can instantly sear foods in bulk with no threat of burning them like a campfire. White jellies can freeze foods instantly, helpful if you're low on heat resistance in the desert.

Aside from converting blue jellies to red by tossing them in fire, you can also convert them to white, yellow or red by dropping a bunch and hitting them with elemental weapons. Came in handy when I needed colored chu jellies for upgrades.

You can change the element of Chu Chu jelly - fire or hot area/cold area for red or white jelly. Or, if you swing an elemental weapon at dropped jelly it will change to match the element of the weapon without using durability.

While it is raining, wandering merchant will sell rarer goods.

you can farm arrows off of bokoblin archers just stand far enough away from then that they will fire at you while holding a wooden sheild up and the arrows will stick to it, after you get three to four arrows stuck lower your sheild and they will go in your inventory. wash rinse repeat.

I like to use Stasis to locate hard to see items, such as things camouflaged by tall grass, or stray items after a fight where I was too busy to grab them right away. Magnesis sorta works as well, but only for metallic objects, so Stasis is better for this.

Buying the stamina containers doesn't only increase your max stamina, it also makes you regenerate stamina more quickly so you can actually travel more quickly

Ice conducts electricity as rain or water does, so alternate ice sword and electric sword to clear groups even late game with relative ease.

So you know that you can take Selfies in this Game and even pose Link right? But did you know that his expression during the Selfie actually changes if he's hot or cold?

you also get more emotes when holding down ZL

To add onto this, the ZL + Left emote changes depending on what weapon type you have equipped, and in the case of one-handed swords, whether or not you have a shield equipped as well.

Fairies will only show up at the great fairy fountains if you have 2 or less fairies in your inventory. If you have more than 2, you can hold up to 5 fairies (like you are going to cook them) and then more fairies will appear. This way you can get a max of 11 fairies (go to a fountain with 7 fairies, hold 5 in hand so only 2 in inventory, wait for fairies to appear, put the five fairies back in inventory, grab the 4 fairies that just appeared).

If you feed your horse an Endura Carrot it will have more dash charges when you mount it.

You can make candy by just cooking honey. Want a Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword favorite? Pumpkin, Wheat, Milk and Butter will make you a lovely Pumpkin Stew (I know it was Soup in the other games but it's close enough) Milk, Wheat, Butter, and any variety of snail will make some Clam Chowder

There's a woman in Rito village that wants a baked apple. Afterwards, she'll continue to buy them from you with an increase in pay for higher bulk. Getting 100 apples, flash cooking them at death mountain and selling them at once got me 1200 rupees.

Magnesis and Stasis are great for scanning a local environment for any spoils (weapons, food, rupees, etc)

magnesis + metal weapon + raft sail = raft powered. Just drop a metal weapon, use magnesis to pick up weapon and push it into sail. It will move the raft.

If you have the Saas Ko'sah Shrine inside Hyrule castle, you can teleport there to gain a quite helpful effect. When you are inside Hyrule castle not only does the Master Sword always glow blue, but your Champion abilities such as Mipha's Grace and Rivali's Gale cool down get significantly shorter. It shortens the cooldown by 2/3rds. Revali's Gale is the shortest ability to recharge already at 6 minutes, but in Hyrule castle it recharges in only 2 minutes. Mipha's Grace normally takes around 24 minutes to recharge outside, but in Hyrule Castle it only requires 8 minutes to recharge. Urbosa's Fury only takes 4 minutes to recharge instead of 12 and Daruk's protection takes only 6 minutes to recharge compared to 18 minutes

A good way to take down Lynels is headshot, mount, then wail. Attacking Lynels while mounted doesn't wear down durability, so I do that with Barbarian set and Savage Lynel Sword 97 damage for that sweet 50% damage boost. I can kill a Lynel in less than 5 minutes using this tactic.

Hitting a metal object in the rain with electricity causes an AOE electric field exactly like the electric lizafolos. Shooting enemies holding metal weapons works too. Just the metal wielding ones. Any enemy caught in the AOE get elemental damage and if wielding metal drop it.

Trumps Negotiating Style Is Pure Art of the Moron

Im often on the receiving end of the Trumpentariats criticisms of Never Trump conservatives.

Dont I get it? Dont I love how Trump is achieving the impossible, and soaring to heights to which no other president could aspire? Havent I gotten over the election yet?When, oh when, will I finally MAGA? I received an email Tuesday from a Trump fan asking why for once I couldnt congratulate Donald Trump for his work with North Korea.

Leaving aside my usual critiques of Trump, which are, as you may have noticed, colorful, varied, and pointed, lets give the president a fair assessment of his weeks activities, and thanks and credit where thanks and credit are due.

Of course, we start when Trump fled the humid confines of Washington, D.C., jetting to Quebec to blow up the G7 summit and take a massive political and rhetorical dump on some of our longest-standing and closest allies. But Im playing nice, so thank you, Mr. President, for adopting 19th-century trade policies that combine both raging economic illiteracy and inevitably adverse outcomes for America. Well done.

Thank you, because nothing says Presidential Stature like your juvenile dick-waving and insults attacking the heads of state of the G7 nations. Thanks are also in order for deploying your clown-car motorcade of loudmouth, shock-jock aides to make the damage worse.

Great work taking direction from the Home Office in Moscow; you spent more time at the G7 summit doing Vladimir Putins bidding than you did strengthening the ties between the United States and our closest allies.

Even so, Im supposed to thank the president, right? Well, thank you, Donald. You sent a message to our allies in Asia and beyond that youre willing to compromise their security and ours for an inconsequential photo-op with a hopped-up fatboy dictator who looks like Pyongyang already has a Krispy Kreme and a Popeyes, and hes the only one allowed to eat in them.

Russia, Iran, Syria, and other bad actors want to thank you, Mr. President. You sent the clearest of signals that sanctions regimes, inspections, and verified denuclearization are no longer relevant in our brave new era of nationalist populist strongmen and Michael Bay knockoff videos.

Evidently, all the bad guys have to do is kiss your ample ass long enough and shower you with enough superficial praise and they can play you like the trifling intellectual lightweight you most certainly are. So, thank you for that reminder.

Nobel Prizes may have been dancing in your head on your way to Singapore, and perhaps the Nobel Committee will fire up the forge and cast you an extra super-glitzy giant prize, out of gratitude. Perhaps the medal will make up for the fact Kim Jong Un took away every single thing he wanted from this meeting, including the propaganda coup of all propaganda coups.

Ever wonder what the consequences of legitimizing a nuclear-armed madman who has used chemical weapons on his own family, starved his people, and engaged in systematic mass murder to retain power might be? Congratulations! Youre about to find out. Us too.

Evidently, the purpose of the trip was to produce a communiqu so shallow, meaningless, and ephemeral that its contents were a combination of already-broken DPRK agreements and back-of-the-envelope wishcasting. Our South Korean allies may seem freaked out, but its just their way of appreciating you.

Well done, Mr. President. You got your on-camera handshake with a man who orders the deaths of children. You got your lunch with one of the few remaining dictators on this earth and put the Leader of the Free World on the same level as a hereditary thug who killed his half-brother with chemical weapons.

Good job, Mr. President. Youve terrified our allies with your cavalier and sloppy art-of-the-moron negotiating style. Youve told American troops who will remain on the Korean Peninsula theyre no longer going to practice with their Korean counterparts as a deterrent to the Norths long, long history of aggression. Im sure if the balloon goes up, theyll thank you for stopping their exercises.

Mission accomplished, Mr. President. Youve set your fans up for a spectacular comedown when North Korea does what it always does. Right now, theyre cheering themselves hoarse, dancing in the streets, and believing to the bottom of their deplorable little hearts that youve denuclearized North Korea, brought Kim to heel, undone the evils done in the Hermit Kingdom for generations, and started building Trump Tower Pyongyang.

Hats off to you, Mr. President. Youve cut the sinews of a strategic alliance with Japan and South Korea that has contained North Korea, and kept a brake on Chinese power in the Western Pacific.

Thank you, Mr. President, for reminding us that Kim Jong Un is talented. I couldnt agree more. Hes talented at killing his uncles, half-brothers, cousins, and countrymen with poison, anti-aircraft guns, chemical weapons, and flamethrowers. Hes talented at starving his people, systematically reducing their life expectancy, health, and even height because of the chronic malnutrition his evil policies entail. Hes talented like his father and grandfather before him at rooking Western leaders. Theyre talented at proposing deals they never had the slightest intention of keeping.

Heckuva job, Mr. President. No matter what a weapons-grade dumpster fire this week created, youre safe from congressional oversight, but you know that by now. Nothing you do matters to this Congress. No matter what damage you inflict on our economy, our alliances, trade, our stature in the world, our role as an exemplar of democratic values, our ability to serve as an honest broker in the international community, and our security, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will lay supine before you. (Supine is that position you usually have to pay for, hoss.)

Their evident, constant terror at running afoul of your volcanic temper, lunatic followers, and media cheer squad mutes their tongues and stays their hands even when they should know better. They should fear a world where America is isolated, mistrusted, and weaker economically, morally, and politically. They should worry the acid drip of your rhetorical and moral poison reduces American power and influence.

Instead, they fear their own president, hiding behind furrowed brows and elliptical, mealymouthed expressions of grave concern.

So congratulations, Mr. President. You spent the week deliberately wrecking American alliances and leadership, allied yourself with one of the most egregious enemies of freedom in the world, and abandoned the shared values of our friends like Canada, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany.

You must be so proud.

Arplis - News: The Best 10 Ironing Boards

If theres one chore that weve always found a little laborious and let ourselves slack on more than the others, its ironing. Lately, however, weve been wondering whether upgrading our ironing supplies might motivate us to do it a little more often. We recently replaced our old iron to a much newer and easier to use model and found that our theory was pretty correct and we didnt mind doing it so much, so now were looking to treat ourselves to a new ironing board too!

Just like we did with the iron itself, were feeling pretty intent on choosing the best ironing board we possibly can. Thats where our online researching skills come into play. Since were the master of bookmarking option lists, we figured wed might as well share what we found just in case our readers could use some ironing board recommendations as well!

1. Reliable The Board 550VB Professional Vacuum Table

Are you the kind of person who cares alot about your clothing, since youve worked hard to save for and invest in quality pieces from good designer brands? Then perhaps youve prefer a whole station like this one from Reliable rather than just an ironing board!

This particular model features a very stable construction, a heated top surface that warms up fabrics just enough so that you dont need to turn the iron on quite so hot, an adjustable height capability that you can control with a foot pedal, and even a laundry rack for hanging clothes! Its like the Mercedes Benz of ironing boards.

View price on Amazon

2. Mabel Home Extra-Wide ironing Pro Board

Are you looking for something much simpler than what you saw above but youre also intrigued to learn whether there might be an easier model for maneuvering clothes on? Then we have a feeling you might have a little more success with something like this design from Mabel Home!

Beside sits durable construction and hanger panel, the mean draw of this model is that it has shoulder wings on one end. These are pieces you can pop upwards into place or fold away in order to get a better shape and have an easier time when youre ironing dress shirts or things with angles.

View price on Amazon

3. Brabantia Ironing Board with Solid Steam Iron Rest

If youre going to get an ironing board with extra features, would you rather consider the actual side of the work surface itself? Then this design from Brabantia might be precisely the kind of thing youre looking for!

This ironing board gives you a lot more width to work with than the average design. Additionally, they provide you a good steam mat to cover all that width, as well as a conveniently placed rack on which to set the iron when you need to put it down.

View price on Amazon

4. Honey-Can-Do Tabletop Ironing Board with Retractable Iron Rest

Do you actually live in a very small apartment right now and youre worried that an ironing board of the average size wont actually fit anywhere when you need to work with it? Then weddefinitelyencourage you to consider this smaller retractable model from Honey-Can-Do instead!

Although this board is much smaller than some people might initially be looking for, its alsomuch more convenient when it comes to storage or usage space. Once youve finished ironing your clothes on just about any tabletop youve got available, you can fold the legs under easily and hang it up essentially anywhere.

View price on Amazon

5. Minky Homecare Ergo Plus Ironing Board
