official website art of a dragon. i have no context for this dragon but i fuckin love dragons. taken from dragalialost.com/assets/en/images/pc/top/kv_dragon.png
Augh, I’m sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this one! Work and other projects have occupied my brain meats more than I would have liked them too.
And with the Devijho, I’m thinking you meant this little bit of shenanigans yes?
*looks at the picture again by @phoenix-manga / @phnxart, and gigglesnorts* Ahem. yes, ANYHOW –
I was already along that path of thinking – What IF instead of just the Astrals, they get Elder Dragons….*grins and rubs hands together*
SO! The summons still work the same for the Elder Dragons, or Large creatures in this case – so party members have to be knocked out, ect. But instead of just coming in and either smiting the enemy or stomping on it – the Elder Dragon stays because Noctis ‘bonds’ to the beast. But he does not share that bond alone. The Hunter too is linked to the Elder Dragon, and if they or Noctis are rendered unconscious, the beast is de-summoned.
In this ‘bonded’ state, Noctis and the Hunter can hear the beasts thoughts, and are still able to be mobile on the battlefield, but it will take a lot out of them both, so they have learned to do this only in extreme circumstances.
And, now, onto the ‘beasts’ they get to call on for aid. I don’t want to give away tooooo much, cause this was going to be part of the story, but I’ll give you what I can. =3
For Titan – The Trial for the Archaean suddenly becomes a battle for a bond with a Radobaan –
This is their first trial, and it isn’t an easy one. There’s much floundering between the Boys and the Hunter due to them being overwhelmed by the sheer size of this thing, and by the fact that the hunter is trying to explain things while on the move. There’s no time to really strategize anything – so tempers flare, but before the killing blow can be done to the beast, Titan himself arrives, offering not only a covenant with him, but his pet.
For Ramuh – The trial of the Fulgurian is a battle for a bond with a Kirin –
This trial goes much smoother than the previous one, even though there’s much planning to fight this thing on the run, but the group does better. The Hunter sadly takes a charge head on and gets knocked away from the group, and Noctis in his ‘rush to help’ summons the Radobaan.
The Kirin simply stops attacking when the first bonded beast appears. Ramuh is pleased that Noctis would do anything to save the lives of his friends, and in turn, offers a pact with him, and his beast.
For Leviathan – The trial of the Hydraean is also for a bond with a Tobi-Kadachi –
There is much that goes well during this Trial, and much that goes wrong. This beast causes much headache for the hunter and Noctis as not only must they deal with it, but they must also deal with Leviathan herself. The battle between them seems to go on for ages, wearing down the Hunter and Noctis alike – only to finally have the Kirin make an appearance.
The Kirin deals the blow needed to the Tobi-Kadachi, rendering it weak and unable to fight, and then Nocits is able to finish the Trial of the Hydraean…after the trial is complete, Leviathan and the Tobi-Kadachi offer their bonds.
For Shiva – The trial of the Glacian is also for a bond with a Legiana –
This trail was strange…the group had expected there to be a big battle, something hard fought to be won. But instead, Shiva and Legiana simply offer their bond.
For Ifrit – The trial of the Infernian is also for a bond with a Teostra –
Ifrit does not appear in this trial due to his corruption with the scourge – However, Shiva goes to explain that the beast knows of it’s masters will, and will only bond with those it deems worthy.
Noctis and the group do eventually succeed, but not without the Hunter taking on a serious injury.
For Bahamut – the trial of the Draconian is also for a bond with a Nergigante –
Noctis has many many choice words to the Draconian – considering he just woke up from his long sleep within the crystal, and now has yet another Trial?! The hunter also makes their voice known. Despite the Hunters injuries and the general wear and tear on the group, they do manage to defeat and gain the bond of the Nergigante.
…but not without another price that doesn’t get known till they’re at the steps of the citadel..
And…I think that’ll do it for now – I hope this makes sense?
I swear I’ll get my brain meats unscrambled and get things to flow a bit better soon, just gotta get a little downtime again from work is all. ♥
I want all of it. Your sleepy mumbling. Your drunken embarrassment. Your silly faces. Your anger. Your dance moves. Your anxiety. Your apologies. Your sadness. Your stern looks. Your claustrophobia. Your exasperated tone. Your frustrations. Your past. I want all of it. I want all of you.
That WOULD be interesting (and funny, not gonna lie). To Sombra, it’s just funny that the big bad Deadlock leader
Elizabeth Caledonia “Calamity” Ashe…is still hung up over washed out outlaw vigilante Jesse McCree. I’m sure Ashe would be like “I dunno who you think you are but if you don’t want a bullet in that computer-lookin’ head o’ yours, I suggest ya watch yer mouth.”
Sombra MIGHT possibly bring up the fact that McCree managed to outwit her/foil her plans again? Since it seems he’s done it in the past, as well. This could even go well with the rumor that it was Sombra who gave both McCree AND Deadlock the tip about the train carrying Echo.
I love them so much and they look adorable as always! Thank you @sentrysart for another wonderful commission of my OTP! Seeing these two always makes me incredibly happy!
I thought about that too but I think she might’ve just seen that his arm was gone and made an appropriate threat about it at the end like all good villains do.
I believe that if Ashe really did have something to do with it, McCree wouldn’t have been so willing to start with banter in the cinematic as he did. He seems rather passive about Ashe, if anything, like she’s not a big deal. Had she been the cause of his missing arm, we probably would’ve gotten a less, cartoon-y ‘old standoff’ kind of movie and more of a tension filled moment between two ex-lovers who became enemies or at the very least, two old friends who became enemies.
I’m not sure if we’ll ever really get a canon story about how McCree lost his arm. Someone on the Mcsombra discord came up with a really good headcanon on how Ashe might be linked to his missing arm – it’s really good, but again, I think the mood of the cinematic would’ve been much different. It’s obvious that Blizzard wants to portray McCree more as he is in the present, more light-hearted, probably not as aggressive or confrontational, which explains his more confident and laid back approach in the short.
Edit: I wanted to make a note that reasons why people MAY think Ashe might have something to do with his missing arm, is because, like OP states, her comment about having BOB rip out his other arm makes it sound like she ordered BOB to do it in the past. There is also the fact that Ashe doesn’t react to McCree like she hasn’t seen him in over 20 years…she acts like she’s seen him a few years back, possibly after he left Blackwatch but before the most recent events. She doesn’t seem shocked to see McCree is still alive, says ‘you promised you’d write’ and doesn’t seem to note McCree’s arm, like Echo did when she asked what happened. That can either mean, Ashe did have something to do with it or she saw him recently, just after the incident where he lost his arm.
You know, I understand exactly how you feel. I know how it is to look in the mirror and be frustrated with what stares back at you.
To be so, well, angry with your body where you dislike how it looks in clothes, and out of them. Where your curves aren’t right, or you have too many. Where your skin is marked in a way with freckles or, color or…or even where you’re not the right gender.
But I also know that eventually, the you that’s on the inside will match the outside. And while I know it takes time to get there, cause I’ll be honest, I myself am not where I want to be yet.
But I know you and I will get there if we just keep trying.
I also need you to do me a huge favor, I need you to never call your body a useless pile of flesh again. Okay? Because even though you are frustrated with it, I love the person inside it, and I know you’ll get to where you want to be with how you look on the outside too.
I mean, you got me cheering you on. There’s no way in Astrals name you can go wrong with ‘Sunshine’ cheering you on, right?
screams– asdfasljdflasjdfsd thank you for having crush on my disaster veteran oc.
myasianasstellsme He is more of a tea person~ coffee only when stressful workings. He is pretty much uninterested in sweets after teen but would eat a few bites when his sister shares it with him upu– unadmitting fav is
Kohakutou.
UUUUHHHH NORMALLY ITS OTHER 4 BOYS I IMAGINE BUT WITh GALUCUS —– id get along with Ignis and Gladio weeze, wiith Ignis cause the high classy vibe and both using polearm weapons, Gladio tho is probably just that they both have a younger sister uqu (a twin linked with the same mother and 3 younger brothers on fathers side of family thathedosentlikemuch)
also here is just a urge to draw a 100% human look Galucus, depending on my actual attempt to anchor him in a world , he keeps that classic look I usually draw him, or I just straight give him dragon/fish fin ears and a long scaly tail jsgdfkasf
Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?
I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.
Greetings friends! The midterms are so close, are you registered to vote?
You: I can’t vote, I’m an Ex-Offender
ARE YOU SURE?
I live in Vermont or Maine: You never lost your right to vote
I live in DC, Hawai’i, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland*, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, or Utah: You can vote upon your release from incarceration.
That’s cool but I don’t live in those states. I live in: Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Washington (state), West Virginia.: You can vote once you have completed your sentence (parole and/or probation)
Wow! That’s really cool. But, um. I don’t live in those states. I live in:
Alabama: You cannot vote if you have been convicted of any felony listed here. Crimes of ‘moral turpitude’ including: Murder, Manslaughter, Kidnapping, Rape, Sodomy, Sexual Torture/Abuse
Arizona: First time offender? Complete your probation and payment of any fine or restitution and you can vote. Multiple Offender? You have to apply to a judge to vote.
Delaware You cannot vote if you have been convicted of murder, bribery or sexual offenses. If you have been pardoned or had your sentence completed, get your vote on!
Florida Rights must be restored via the governor and a clemency board. In the November elections Floridians have the opportunity to vote for Amendment Four and restore voting rights to over a million Floridians. So that man that threw an alligator at someone can vote?? YES but so can your dumb little brother who thought carrying a concealed weapon would be cool when he was 19. So can the drug addict who robbed a convenience store but has been clean for 20 years.
Iowa You must petition the governor
Kentucky You must petition the governor
Mississippi If you have committed one of the following crimes: armed robbery, arson, bigamy, bribery, carjacking, embezzlement, extortion, felony bad check, felony shoplifting, forgery, larceny, murder, obtaining money or goods under false pretense, perjury, rape, receiving stolen property, robbery, statutory rape, theft, timber larceny, and unlawful taking of a vehicle. you cannot vote unless a bill passed by both houses of the legislature or through the governor. If you did NOT commit one of those crimes, you can vote even while incarcerated
Nebraska Voting rights are automatically restored two years after the completion of all supervised release
Nevada Voting rights are restored automatically after sentence completion if convicted of a non-violent felony. However, those convicted of a violent felony and all second-time felony offenders (whether violent or non-violent) can only have their rights restored by the court in which they were convicted.
Tennessee Individuals convicted of a felony since 1981–except for some felonies such as murder, rape, treason and voter fraud–may apply to the Board of Probation and Parole to have their voting rights restored once their sentence is completed.
Virginia: You can vote if you completed your sentence, including probation and parole. This is not a law but an order by the governor. A new governor can repeal this.
Wisconsin-Voting rights are automatically restored upon completion of all supervised release
Wyoming- Voting rights restoration is dependent on the type of conviction: first-time non-violent felony offenders can apply to the Wyoming Board of Parole five years after completion of sentence. All others must apply to the Governor for either a pardon or a restoration of rights, but must wait ten and five years, respectively, after completing their sentence.
In many cases you must RE-REGISTER to vote but you can vote.
*If you are guilty of buying or selling votes, you have to get the governor to pardon you.
This is not intended to be comprehensive, you should check out your state’s laws for any quirks.
Remember people of color are disproportionately incarcerated. Double check you may be able to make your voice heard
Summary: Amid your journey, you’re cursed and surely marked for death. And yet, Alucard is not ready to let you go anytime soon.
The journey had been perilous for you, something he burdened a small degree of guilt towards not more passionately dissuading you. He wondered if you had much hope for the world; a world submerged in a sea of blood and corpses, with air so stagnant, acrid, and foul that you could no longer stomach it. For those not chained at Death’s side and his father’s savagery, there was famine and plague.
“Are you sure now’s the time to be staying in one place?” Trevor tightened the whip around his elbow, winding it with his arm until he could fasten it to his belt. “Dracula’s scum are sure to be sniffing around.”
He did not take his eyes away from you and the way your brow wrinkled, face twisting in agony as you writhed on the mattress. The damp cloth fell away from your forehead in your restlessness; dingy where it had been spotless only a while ago. He felt the vise snag his heart, though observing your suffering and the sweat dotting your face was enough to crush it entirely.
Summary: Though fond of you, Alucard always kept you at arms length. It was easy to forget that those who dwelt in silence were often the ones suffering the most.
a/n: this is a very, very, very distressed response to THAT part in season two and if ya’ll have any soul, you’ll feel the same way. anyway. i wanted to combine hair brushing and comforting him. SO HAVE IT.
The long nights by the fireplace were beginning to thaw his heart, or so you believed. Compared to the callous man you had met only seasons ago, you felt that his eyes were softer and vibrant now, and your words often invited demure smiles to his lips. They were as breathtaking and gentle as he was.
And yet, much about Alucard was fleeting. Those affectionate touches ghosted across your cheek as though only the wind gushing through broken windows could love you, whilst the longing in his eyes seemed to flicker away before you could catch it.
Something else took precedence in his mind, your antics and buoyant persona was as a lively distraction from time-to-time, from the burdens that always seemed to anchor him down.
You could not be his savior, his healer, or his purpose. He wouldn’t have wanted to you to be, anyway.
No, all you could be was a pillar of support, steady with a hand at the ready.
“What inspired you to let me do this? You always say no.” You said, holding a fistful of his hair to carefully untangle the knots with short, brisk work of your brush. “You have really gotta tie your hair up or something when you go gallivanting around to kill stuff.”
Sometimes Alucard’s hands will tremble when certain memories get to him and he doesn’t always notice until his S/O takes his hand and squeezes it comfortingly
I high key need Alucard to have the most embarrassing crushes on Trevor and Sypha where anytime either of them does anything he’s just,, so in love and in awe because ‘wow humans really are so amazing !!’ and he would never admit to it but his biggest fantasy is just being held by both of them while he drifts off to sleep
aahhhh you make me cry (*/▽＼*) thank you so much~~ and i’m really sorry it’s taken me so long to get to it dhbhd i do hope you’ll enjoy and thank you for requesting the love of my life mwah 🤧
*༚｡◍☆˟✧༚｡◍*༚｡◍☆˟✧༚｡◍*༚｡◍☆˟✧༚｡◍*
it would be hard for him
love was somewhat of an abstract feeling and he saw where ‘love’ led his father to
he’d keep you close, feel you next to him, listen to your heart beat and at first he’d tell himself it was him ‘caring’ for you and that’s what he’d say
“i love you” you’d whisper reassuringly when finding him sitting in his father’s study by himself
your warm hands almost made him wince, but with a soft sigh of content he leans into them, rest his head against them, he’d remain silent
he was so so grateful you never pushed him to tell you those words, so glad you didn’t question him about it either
your warm assurances kept him going and eventually led him to profess it himself
it happened after you’d come home late one evening; a girl from your home village you were relatively close to was getting married soon and she’d invited you to spend the day with her, helping her chose her dress and whatnot
you let your beloved know before you left, and he wasn’t the type to forbid you freedom; he enjoyed your company immensely and he felt somewhat empty when you left, the warmth of your kiss lingering on his lips, but he wished you to enjoy your time
it wasn’t until night began to settle that panic began to rise within him, checking the windows almost every minute, pacing backwards and forwards in his room, fear thrashing in his heart
the sound of hooves sent him practically flying downstairs and you barely managed to get off your horse before you found yourself engulfed in his cold embrace
he didn’t say anything, words tangled in his mouth, but you knew, you could tell by how strongly he was holding you, by the way he pressed his head in your hair
even if you just started it still counts~! also season two is coming out in a bit so ahhh im super excited ᕕ(•̀з•́)ᕗ also please keep me updated! i’m really curious to see how you’ll find it ^•^
definitely not the most openly affectionate lover
he doesn’t really like public displays of affection; he holds your hand, holds you close but other than that he’s content
except in the rare occasions when someone else(primarily Trevor)(be it a human, vampire, creature, whatever) tries their luck, he isn’t exempt from bending his head in the crook of your neck, fangs grazing your skin ever so lightly while his eyes make contact with said ‘contender’
privately, on the other hand, he’s constantly near and is sometimes afraid of leaving you by yourself
“adrian…” you would whine, trying to cut some vegetables for your guys’ supper “please.”
he’d click his tongue, but the grip around your waist wouldn’t loosen “you’re warm.” would be his only excuse
play with his hair, he absolutely adores it; braid it, tie it in a bun, just weave your fingers through it, you’ll get a happy vampire boyfie and a big groan of satisfaction
his favourite type of kisses are slow, languid ones where he starts at your jaw before slowly moving his way to your lips, his heightened senses allowing his to hear how your heartbeat quickens as he slowly approaches before making contact with your warm soft lips
enjoys caressing your face, just running his hand down your skin, soothing circles across your cheek before running his thumb across your bottom lip
declarations of love would be rare, but meaningful, possibly whispered while you’re asleep or after he’s had a particularly long day(i mean having angsty dracula as your father can’t be easy)
he’d collapse into your arms, head pressed against your stomach as he lay there, feeling your soothing touch on his head, arms wrapped around your waist
he’d hum quietly, eyes closed “i really do love you, you know?” he’d murmur, not looking up and you’d nod, the lightest of pink coating your cheeks
“yea that’s right, I became a doctor in a time where it was impossible for women. Yea that’s right, I fucked Dracula. Rode that all night after we married. Yea that’s right, had a dhampir baby too. Threaten my baby and I cut you.”
Now lets look at Mr. Tepes
Damn look at the love in that guy’s eyes. The warm smile. He’s got it all and so happy.
Now for the cute little prince
Kdhccydjwfxhfgj!!! Adorable baby dhampir overload! The golden curls! Big eyes! Baby fangs! Baby fangs…poor Lisa. Ouch. Awe he’s holding her hair. He’s a mama’s boy. And Papa Drac holding on to his baby boy.
This is…sniff… I’m going to go cry in the corner over Lisa’s death again now.
Alucard: hey dad, when you wreck havoc on the humans can you maybe try be a little less… Dracula: less what? Alucard: like, less extra Dracula, already manifesting thousands of bats and crows to create an enormous visage of his own face above Wallachia:
Also, Sypha is 100% not the voice of reason in that trio, quit shoving her in that role, fandom. Sypha is the idealist with principles she values over self-preservation, Alucard is the drama queen, and Trevor is the one exhaustedly saying ‘Guys. Guys no. Do not fight the giant demon with only a sword and a pack of matches. Do not.’
I’ve been listening to the Symphony of the Night soundtrack while working lately and man it’s so good – Season 2 definitely reignited my love for Castlevania 🦇
