Well, that was easy. Thought it would take more to make an ATP Soldat dissent.
(For context, in Arena Mode. the Mercenary imprint’s unique trait is that you can bribe a dizzied enemy to become your ally instead of doing a take-down on them.)
What are imprints, rebirths and origins of imprints?
this turned out to be a very long explanation of arena lore... hope this helps!

So I wanted to draw a lil' something in celebration of The Adventure Zone hitting ten years old this year! Which turned into me drawing a pretty big something featuring (almost) every player character from (almost) every campaign from these past ten years.
So here's to Adventure Zone Balance, Amnesty, Commitment, Dust, Graduation, Hootenanny, Ethersea, Dadlands, Steeplechase, Versus Dracula, and everything that's still to come!
So, my understanding is that in the backstory of RWBY's setting, the major world-war analogue that produced the start-of-canon political order was fought against an authoritarian movement dedicated to suppressing emotion and individuality as much as possible, under the logic that the Grimm feed off emotion and maybe that would help suppress them. (The fact that every single named character has such an aggressively curated personal aesthetic is also intended to be part of the ongoing cultural backlash against that regime.) Now on some level this is a very aesthetic worldbuilding beat, platonic faceless-regime-vs-forces-of-individuality vibes-based stuff. But on another level I think this is actually an interesting example of a setting where the in-universe ideologies are allowed to notice and be informed by the genre-typical loosey-goosey fairy-tale logic. "Regime dedicated to hating emotions and fun" would be a lazy caricature in our world but follows pretty logically as an idea someone would eventually have if they were constantly under attack from armies of sadness-fueled murderwolves. It's not necessarily a metaphor, it follows from the presented premise!
BANZAI!!!
Deep Cut will always have a place in my heart <3 <3
I don't think the game's clicked with me yet but I do like the funny gargoyle
[KO-FI]
Ivy the gargoyle from Dota 3 Deadlock(game)
I like how she's not the typical mischievous imp archetype with a grating voice but instead a peppy girl with a heart of gold
✨⚠️ Wasting Away Again in the Goldilocks Zone ⚠️✨
If you're new here, this is one of those "human Bill in the Mystery Shack" redemption fics, you know the drill: Bill illegally escapes death via reincarnation; the Shack crew imprisons him til they can figure out how to kill him; but they won't, because Bill's gonna make friends with them and literally everybody else in town. Whether they like it or not.
Featuring!! The slowest redemption arc you've ever read; "human" Bill that doesn't decide being trapped in an alien body is fine; show-style episodic plot structure; individual plot arcs for characters you've never even cared about; so canon compatible we even include the dang coloring book; and so TBOB-compatible over a year before TBOB came out that I'm considering taking up a position as the Oracle of Delphi just so Apollo stops barraging me with dodgeballs.
New chapter every Friday, 5pm CST! Yes, that includes this Friday!
