I think this lil guy reminds him of someone
ignore how messy it is, its like 5 am here n i needed 2 get this out of my system
I'm just going to say that some of the goats in HB Short 4 were cute but everything else was shit, overdone or just stupid.
saint miquella concept (after success growth in cocoon) 💜💛 st trina and miqs hair!
It's been 2 years since I redesigned Godefroy and fancied revisiting my design! I didn't change him too drastically, made his feet more digitigrade (specifically like the Bloodhound Knights) and borrowed a bit more from the cloth/fabric of Godrick's model. Some extra boss fight thoughts below.
Phase 1 he fights like a standard big knight, hefty sweeps with his sword and slamming with his shield, doing his best to keep a knightly decorum.
Phase 2 said decorum is out the window and replaced with a beastly desperation. Phase transitions with him tossing his shield at the player and shifting to fight on all fours, with very fast messy movement like a Bloodhound Knight, also a lot of snarling and growling.
Boss fight reward would be an Ornamental Great Sword (to match the short swords) along side the standard Godfrey's Icon
Godefroy annoys me so much I hate this man yet I am out here putting too much thought into this fucker, the fact that he will never be explained ever just makes me angrier LMAO
It's Monday.
Marine Meat Monday.
And for all the new fans, who have joined the fandom recently because of Space Marine 2 - here's Imurah for you.
I made him Pyrae, because he's throwing Warpfire and has neither shown any particular insight into possible futures nor any desire to hit his opponents in melee or twisting their insides to the outside.
But I am not a real Thousand Sons expert, so that's absolutely open for discussion.
(I am using this angle way too much. But I just love it! Like, hey giant guy, down here!)
The Space Marines 40k Games are good...mostly.
I think my favorite character from the games has to be Leandros simply due to the fact his character is 'complex' but also the writing in the games kind of screws over characters also. I won't go into great depth as to why though because I am just making this post to mention my misgivings in regards to a certain thing relating to these two games...
The Writing/Background Lore
Now I honestly find the writing in these games to be mid at best and sometimes having poor executions on certain plot points at worst. My biggest hangup is the writing favoring/disfavoring of Titus and how it leaves characters like Leandros, deservedly in canon and outside the world, hated on. Now despite the fact in Space Marine 1 Leandros is portrayed as a Puritan who follows the Codex Astartes to a T but by the end of the game betrays Titus due to suspecting him of being Warp-tainted and reports him to Inquisitor Thrax, who will hold Titus as a prisoner to be continuously tortured and mind-probed for a century before being released by Deathwatch personnel once Inquisitor Thrax is put down due to being possessed by a daemon by the Grey Knights. Now I understand that there will be certain inquisitors in the Inquisition that will get into trouble, cause misfortune to their allies or use their authority irresponsibly within the Imperium but I absolutely hate these recent trends within canon of villain-batting Inquisitors into certain situations where they are or had lead to the cause and effect of said situation. Anyways I feel the whole 'keeping Titus prisoner by a grudge-bearing Inquisitor' angsty plotline to be a childish addition to Titus's side story that didn't need to be added to his background because again it adds a certain distain to Leandros's actions within the world.
Now I'm not trying to say that I'm a better writer then the ones who made the games but I feel like the storyline for certain characters could have been done better and I at least thought of one alternative to the canon one now.
One, don't have Leandros sell out Titus to the Inquisition but instead once they get back to an Ultramarine stronghold have Titus be examined by a Librarian and be cleared of taint but Leandros is still very distrustful of Titus's condition and requests' to be transferred to another company to which Titus grants.
Two, let rumors circle about in the Ultramarine ranks over what happened on Forge World Graia and Titus's deeds there. Let there be a slow but growing quiet response similar to Leandros's reaction to Titus's strange resistance to warp taint.
Three, let a couple of years pass after the events of Graia then put Titus into a another campaign where half of his 2nd Company ends up dead but also once again brings into question why Titus is once again resistant to the Warp as he was on Graia. While once again cleared of Chaos taint by the Librarians Titus's situation prompts other Ultramarines to become distrustful and weary of Titus and some want him to be removed from his Captaincy position. Feeling a mix of betrayal/anger over the reactions he's getting from his Chapter and sensing a impending schism should he remain; Titus asks Chapter Master Marneus Calgar to send him into Deathwatch so that things can calm down within the Chapter for a while to which Calgar reluctantly agrees.
Four, once in the Deathwatch company Titus actually comes to like working with various Astartes members from different chapters and finds it a breath of fresh air unlike members within his Chapter who worship the Codex Astartes to the fullest extent. Despite somewhat receiving numerous calls from his Chapter Master to come back to the Ultramarines due to urgent matters, Titus chooses of his own volition to stay within Deathwatch and does so for a century in service to the Imperium.
Five, everything almost pretty much happens the same way in the game as it does here; with Titus learning to trust and be open with his Brothers once again and vice versa with Gadriel, Chairon and others members of the Chapter.
Space Marine 2 is a great game with shooter & fighter elements to it but it kind of falls short when making relevant story/lore scenes for it's characters.
More space sharks! 🦈 This is Iitrok, Kai's void brother. This lad has been through A LOT and he's extremely mutated. Despite his countless injuries and mutations he absolutely refuses to be put into a dreadnought. He's also extremely loyal and an absolutely terrifying opponent in battle, both due to his skill but also due to his immense size.
My heart. So cute.
The tragic vibes this image alone is releasing is moving me to tears...
'Had I my time again, and freedom from fate’s chains to act, I would never have become Konrad Curze. Konrad Curze was a betrayer. An unbeliever. A lunatic, but worst of all, father, Konrad Curze was weak. Night Haunter was strong.'
It's honestly a disservice to both Verosika and Blitzo that we will never at least get a flashback episode of how these two met, fell in love, and how the relationship ultimately crashed and burned the way it did visually.
The Verosika in season 1 had an air of class, self confidence in spades, better-than-you-attitude and while she is seen being angry and bitter at Blitzo it wasn't as explosive and frenzy-like as was shown in Season 2 episode 9. In said latter episode Verosika looks like she is completely pissed off and upset over what Blitzo has done to her and their relationship and I'm not trying to say that Verosika doesn't have a right to feel like that but comes across to an extent out of left field and it doesn't help that there isn't at least two prior episodes in season 2 to set up the rising confrontation these two would have had in in the beginning stages of season 3(of course this would mean that the writers actually understand what pacing and outlined plotlines are).
Overall, in general it just sucks that like with every minor character in H.B. Verosika is a simple plot device to be used when it suits the writer's needs at any given time.
This is absolutely going to happen and I am practically horrified for Octavia here.
Octavia WILL bend the knee
Here I will go in-depth into why Octavia will not be given the same grace in the fandom as Blitz did when she has her Full Moon Reckoning with Stolas.
NOTE/WARNING: I have seen and read the leaks, and they will be part of the reason why I feel this way.
What I mean by Full Moon Reckoning:
This is when the writers finally allow a victim of Stolas to be fully and rightfully angry at him for all the transgressions he has done to them, and more importantly when the FANDOM treats the actual victim's pain as the take back my power moment that it is.
The reason for this distinction is that I have noticed that Stolas is the fan favorite, and therefore it seemed all his wrongdoings got default reasons for not being that bad.
However, when Full Moon aired an odd and swift negative wind hit his character, and it has not abated.
Even with the newer ep the wind didn't lessen it got stronger.
It's like some spell broke.
It feels like a genie that can't be put back in the bottle.
He has gone from the fan-favorite to the most criticized.
The fandom is pretty unanimously on Blitz's side and has stayed on it.
However, as I've stated Octavia will not get this.
Octavia's pain in Sinmas is going up against:
Blitz and Stolas are male
Octavia is female, and a female in a Yaoi series at that. The women exist only as one-note plot devices for male pain, and that's even when said women themselves are technically leads(Loona, Millie).
2. Blitz and Stolas are main characters
Octavia is a side character who has barely been in two episodes spanning two seasons.
3. In the leaks Octavia takes up for her mother twice
Basically, she goes to bat for the fandom's hatesink.
4. Two other fan favorites(Fizz and Asmodeous) are written to be Team Stoliz
Plus, apparently, they are going to be against Octavia's mother and therefore Octavia.
5. THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON why Octavia is going to get it both barrels from the fandom is that Blitz and Stolas are canonically a gay couple by Sinmas.
Viv said an important arc will be finished by season's end, and I saw a post from her patron where she point-blank says they are a couple by the end of season two. Also more proof to me is that Blitz is very affectionate to Stolas in the trailer and in the leaks.
Speaking of, if you go to YouTube pretty much every comment is praising the ship sailing. A daughter is painfully estrangling herself from her beloved father, while he cries and begs for her mercy, and all everyone can talk about is getting wet over a toxic ship flying into her pain.
Recap TLDR:
Blitz got fandom grace because he is THE main character and was at the time rightfully against Stolas.
While Octavia will get to have her say she is also a woman bit player up against Blitz THE male main character who is now with Stolas THE male fan favorite in a gay romantic relationship.
She will also make the unforgivable sin of taking up for her cheated on mother Stella the hatesink.
Blitz and Stolas will also have the backing of two other favorites Fizz and Ozz as well as the rest of I.M.P.
The YouTube comments ignoring her anguish for the now canon ship are simply a taste to come of what the fandom as a whole is going to do.
Basically, this poor girl doesn't stand a chance.
I WANT to eat crow.
I realllly do.
That's why I employ the fandom to give the same grace they gave Blitz these last two episodes to Octavia as well.
However, this show is made by a fujoshi for fujoshi and that's why I know in my heart of hearts she will be damned instead.
Now, I've stated that the fandom is probably going to kiss the Stolitz ring against Octavia, but let's go into what I think the show is going to do.
Yes, after a year in the show and two seasons overall, Blitz finally got to angrily reinsert his personhood to Stolas, and yes it was cathartic and I'm glad it happened.
However, that doesn't change the fact that four episodes after Full Moon his fate is to be his abuser's boyfriend.
Also, if the merchandise is said to be hints of the creator's thoughts then his final destiny is to be his husband.
Basically, if the main character ultimately bent the knee then so will Octavia.
While the fujoshi in charge does allow them to assert their pain their ultimate fate is to comply.
Essentially it's just lip service to shut critics up.
She, and apparently his voice actor, has said don't worry everything will be alright, and by everything it's obvious they mean Stolas.
She has also said she likes happy endings so you can bet there will be none given to Stolas that doesn't have Blitz and Octavia by his side.
Also make no mistake Blitz's own daughter is also there to help the story ignore their pain. The seed was planted in Seeing Stars when Octavia warmly hugged, hung out, and was gaslit by a complete stranger. It's also why she's her ''sister' now in the pride poster.
Yea, Loona has a big part to play in season three alright, and it's to brainwash Octavia's distress so Stolitz can reign supreme.
Realistically if a fujoshi fangirl weren't writing this show this is what would happen:
Now that he has the crystal; Blitz would completely cut ties with the guy who sexually extorted and depersonalized him for a year. Not become his boyfriend/husband.
Sometime in season three Octavia finds out about her father's (poorly written) abuse and attempted murder attempts by her mother. However, instead of seeing him as a martyr, she states that Stella's actions toward him DON'T NEGATE HIS toward Octavia.
He still broke his own daughter's mental health with his infidelity and abandoned her as a consequence of his own actions i.e. illegal grimoire lending.
She then states she still wants him, and her other toxic parent, out of her life for good.
Her final words are Goodbye Dad... No.... Stolas.
Stolas for his part should be having some serious self-reflection by season 3. He should be strongly asking himself if Blitz was worth Asmodeus's self-fulling prophecy of losing his title, wealth, home, and daughter.
It should be NO, but a fujoshi is steering.
What she is going to do instead is make them use Octavia's pain to trauma bond into domestication.
Then Loona and the writing, in general, is going to make sure Octavia solely blames Stella: The Convenient Stolas Trump Card so they can all just be a family already.
Bonus: We will even get to see Octavia kick her mother from the palace with Stolas' signature GET OUT this time.
Ultimately Blitz and Octavia's misery will not mean anything. As the official car sticker merch states they will be a blended family and their suffering by Stolas be damned.
However, I do have a small (delusional) theory that Ms. Fujoshi could throw a curveball:
Apparently, she has been liking a lot of Vassago and Stolas romantic fanart, but with a of course jealous Blitz.
What if Vassago is Disney Princess Stolas's true endgame.
The guy who gets to show him what an actual healthy relationship looks like, and for a romantic like him this would be his true Prince Charming.
Sure Stolas ending up with a prince(and therefore getting everything back through him) just drives home that dirty, poor, broken, baggage-having, hypersexual Blitz was ultimately never going to be good enough for Purity Angel Stolas in the first place.
However, on the bright side, he's finally away from his abuser...
So on that note, Blitz's true endgame is Fizz.
His real first friend. His real first love.
The correct star-crossed lovers.
The person who actually knows the true Blitz and can meet him blow for blow when he gets messy instead of running away crying with self-pitying gaslighting.
However, since she seems to hate her own main character Blitz's true endgame is going to be tainted.
Foreshadowing Number 1:
I've always found it curious that right after the can we make-out line the very next scene is Fizz coming back to Ozz wiping his mouth.
Why even put that thought in the audience's head unless....
Foreshadowing Number 2:
When Blitz shoots the stalker the mirror that Fizz and Ozz are kissing in front of breaks right down the middle, splitting them, with Blitz's face the last thing seen in the fracture.....
Basically, she is going to have Blitz and Fizz get together by cheating on Ozz, and the fandom is going to blow them both up for it.
Other Tidbits:
Blitz still very much has feelings for Fizz.
Even how he acted when he met him shopping in Full Moon showed this, and he fully blushed in the storyboard.
This is something he has never done for Stolas.
You know the endgame we should be rooting for and all that.
Also Fizz full-on blushes(cage) in the Opps storyboard.
Of course, the show properly erases those because we can't have anyone shipping Blitz or Fizz with their true soulmate.
Apparently, in a leaked script bit, Blitz falls in love with Stolas because he reminds him of Fizz. I mean my dear Stolitz shippers it should be a yikes on a bike for that alone.
