shoots a beam at you that makea you read jfv becausw i Know you havent finished!!!! /lh/nf

AAUUGGH THE BEAM

exact opposite of what i wanted smh

so fucked up,,,,

1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 13 for borderlands

1.OTP?

not taking the easy answer with our beloved old man yaoi and saying that i think conceptually moxxi and mordecai are pretty heartbreaking. not as a permanent they live happily ever after deal, but still. TPS era nisha and aurelia are also hilarious to think about.

2.OT3?

moxxi/lilith/tannis. i am not immune to bittersweet milf yuri. i also cannot think of another ot3 off the top of my head that doesnt make me want to explode.

3.NoTP?

looks at the camera. yknow.

4.Is there a popular pairing you don’t necessarily dislike but aren’t too invested in?

im at risk of being shot for this for being an angel poster but. gaigel. i dont have anything against it though! ill probably draw or write something for it eventually.

9.Write a recommendation of someone else’s fic you enjoyed!

im going to be honest, the only borderlands fic ive read in the past few years have been yours. i WILL take the opportunity to talk up your writing however because i always do. specifically your delirium has been in my head recently ive been putting off drawing something for it. your monty is so interesting.

there was also another fic thatd id recommend if i could but it got deleted way back. nisha, timothy, angel, rhys and vaughn got arrested by the crimson raiders. timothy got executed at the end iirc. it was a small one but i still remember it very distinctly because of how nisha was written in it.

13.What’s a character or ship you haven’t written/drawn yet but would like to some day?

hm! for characters probably sasha and fiona! ive had a fiona sketch saved up but posting her without her baby sister feels wrong they should not be separated. for ships, i havent actually drawn nisha and aurelia yet so. perhaps soon.

rhyiona for the ship i hate meme because iirc you do not like that

i dont necessarily hate it, there’s nothing wrong with it per say but. ehhhhhhhh.

yuri

yuri…

I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE U CHANGED UR URL UAYEGSHSGSHSGDHDH I WAS SO CONFUSED FOR A SECOND


ANYWAYS WELCOME TO THE CANON URL CLUB

LMAOOOO ur not the only one, my brother sent me one of my own posts to read earlier thinking i was a ‘new angel poster’

AND YEAAHHH!!! im a little shocked it wasn’t taken already its such a sick name

shes from a quest thats 1. not released yet (its coming in the next update) 2. is endgame (like. post every other major story quest)

AUGH IVE BEEN BAITED /silly…also whens that update supposed 2 come out btw

I've just noticed Flanksteak has fuckin shark teeth and. Two options here

ohh wait thats a good idea. the sharp points are running trend for the bloodshots, so it makes sense that itd extend to their teeth.

the other clans have their own metal edges, but these spikes are individual to the bloodshots. sawtooths are longer, slabs are more rounded, and the fleshrippers specifically have nails through scrapped car tires. (even though they’re pirates?)

the mutation angle is also really interesting though. and it seems possible, especially with the shape of his mouth being so distinct. his teeth are massive compared to his other concept art.

a good chunk of the bloodshots in my rewrite are formerly baron flynts crew, including flanksteak, which means he could have been in proximity to BL1s vault key when it was unearthed. as a result he became mutated like the rest of sledges men.

or he was just been born with it. ik that being close to eridian nonsense isnt necessary, i just like to make that connection because i am just unfortunately. so BL1 brained.

it could even be a mix of both ideas. the boss has jagged, sharp teeth and that becomes a status symbol for others to follow. who knows.

If you want u can send me some of those essays over on discord. I am an enjoyer of metas and will not judge you I prommy

i might! after i edit them a little more. im just picky about the wording.

im gonna be honest ur posts pose a bit of an Issue for me bc like my rewrite has a plotline that involves lilith doing some shady shit in the name of the greater good and. in the light of the whole settler colonialism thing. is there a way to differentiate her attitude from jack's because i really dont wanna come off as "she's just as bad as him" guy number 172

I STRUGGLE WITH THIS TOO…To me the distinguishing factor is that the raiders don’t act with the same all encompassing anger that jack does. I don’t think there ever could be a true “just as bad as him” argument because he wants and has the means for total annihilation. no bias, no care for the individual, he says himself he wants every man, woman, and child on pandora dead. its his end goal, quite literally nothing matters more than that.

whereas the crimson raiders have tunnel vision in regards to what they want and everything else is just white noise - the bandit casualties are just a byproduct of what they’re convinced they Have To Do, but their deaths are not the underlying goal. these people are violent criminals, so who cares if they die? they were in our way.

the raiders have a scale for who is important and who isn’t, and the scale has some leniency for bandits. (that service = fondness cycle we’ve talked about before.) jack has no scale. it doesn’t matter what can be offered to him or what can be done for him. everyone is the same because everyone is a bandit and so everyone should die. so on and so forth.

the best example i can think of is how lilith handled the children of the firehawk:
she uses them as a shield, and tolerates them because of it.
this tolerance grows to fondness. she’s flattered by them killing in her name.
(its only bandits dying, after all. there’s no real value lost.)
and then she intervenes whenever they start burning sanctuary citizens.
(people who are decidedly Not Bandits, and deserve her protection.)

jack would have just killed everyone at first glance. the bandits, the settlers, the vault hunters, and everyone else within a five mile radius if he could. lilith, if incentivized, can see the humanity in her enemy. which is something that jack outright refuses to do.

i think comes down to generalized apathy versus abject hatred. someone can be made to care. it is a hell of a lot harder to convince someone to love or even tolerate someone they hate.

why is it that i feel like if the cov didnt exist the crimson raiders would probably misidentify a lot of non pandoran people as bandits because the bandit designation is so weirdly arbitrary and bandits on other planets would obviously not behave the same as those on pandora. that is if the orientalised (and therefore homogenized) nature of the bandits wasnt a thing

oh, yeah absolutely. even the pandroan definition of bandit is meaningless because of how much it varies between individuals so the raiders being faced with outside populations would be. something.

thank god maliwan and the cov are color coded because otherwise i think they’d get confused /j

btw im working on the next alivemanor supplementary and

HAHA YESSSSSSSSS (SICKOS) more 4 me,,,

wdym verity commits hyper-capitalism

jakobs cove! shes responsible for all of her family’s operations on pandora and. unfortunately isnt a part of our class traitor agenda anymore, but she was when she was younger.

she made Plans with wainwright, though even with his support she felt like she was being smothered by living in the estate. eventually, she leaves for her own piece of the galaxy. yknow. the thing jakobs decided not to do when they abstained from the war.

she gets to the island and her first thought is “huh. feels like home.” and her second thought is profit. mostly out of spite. jakobs cove is her final compromise with monty to still be Family but to remain separate from the estate.

the first few rounds of workers were from eden-6, but lack of safety protocols and her sheer negligence for her men meant that injuries were common and they’d often need to be replaced. so she started pulling from bandit populations, which is how grogmouth discovered angel.

verity didnt have any pride in what she did, especially in her later years. she was running jakobs cove purely off of spite. it was intended to be just a branch off of the parent company, but after finding her footing she cuts most off-planet export, dealing with dahl and atlas more than she ever did with eden-6.

this separation doomed the island once verity died. the mill remained operational until post-BL1, but as a whole the lumber workers had been abandoned by jakobs. when ned came in with zombies, there was no evacuation called and everyone was left to defend themselves.

tldr: jakobs cove should have unionized and maybe put her in a guillotine. alas.

Cukierek albo psikus I guess

TREAT!! its zir! baby lazarus!!!
