Goretober Day 14: Impaled

Goretober Day 14: Impaled

Things got a little too busy yesterday so this ended up late 😭

BLOOD, DEATH AND GORE WARNING FOR UNDER THE CUT (both in art and story)

“Tácito! Hurry!”

It really should not have been difficult. Their mission was simple: collect the rich minerals in this cave and go. That’s it. And it was like that, up until suddenly a cave-in happened. And from there, Tácito and Mono were running for their lives.

Mono sprinted through the dark cave, avoiding obstacles such the stalagmites and the constantly falling rocks from the ceiling. Tácito was right behind him, one wing injured and fists with immense strength crushing and smashing whatever got in the way. His impulsive moves were a double-edged sword: the more destructive moves he made the worse and faster the cave collapsed. He was falling behind, not nearly as agile or quick as Mono.

“Dude! Slow the fuck down! I’m eating dust back here!” Tácito shouted.

Mono looked behind him, and with a sigh slowed his pace. He slowed down enough for Tácito to get about a meter’s distance from him, then began to speed up. Mono’s eyes squinted, then widened. He could see the cave’s exit up ahead.

“Hurry! We’re almost out of here! Mono shouted next, his judgement now clouded by the way of escape. He went faster, until suddenly a sharp pain shot through his foot. He stepped right on a much smaller stalagmite, which pierced his flesh and drew blood. Mono stumbled, loosing his speed and balance. He collapsed onto one knee, staring at his bloody foot.

Tácito was catching up again now that Mono had halted. He searched around for anything else to punch out of the way, but in his search for thrills he found something much worse. A large rock was disconnecting from the ceiling, threatening to crush the colorless and hurt wolf beneath it.

Shit. Mono, what are you doing! Get up! Tácito thought. Once he noticed Mono was injured from something, he stopped. The dragon hybrid saw the large rock further crumble and loom over his friend, and there he realized what he must do.

“Monotone,” Tácito began, also readying to sprint at full speed, “It’s better me than you. You were always the more valuable one.”

“What?”

Tácito began to run, wings spreading despite one being injured. The dragon kept going, determined and focused for once. His usual selfishness was becoming courage. No way he could be selfish now, not when such a valuable person’s life was at stake. Besides, it’s not like he would be missed as dearly if it were the wolf who died today.

Mono stood up, his ears peeking as the large rock above him gave way and fell straight towards him. But before he had a chance to react, a great force shoved him out of the way, knocking him forward a good distance. And by the time he could comprehend what happened, his dull gaze landed on Tácito’s body, one half spared and the other flattened into a bloody mess.

“Tácito…? TÁCITO NO!”

Goretober Day 6: Transformation

I swear Murder Drones keeps coming in clutch for goretober lmao

Goretober Day 7: Eyes

I was not ready for that lore drop jeez 😭

So out of boredom I randomly decided to do a mini-redesign/rewrite of the Storm King.

His original design is great, but it feels a tad out of place and his personality doesn’t work. You’re telling me the dude who chased a whole population into the water and conquered so many parts of Equestrian acts like a Saturday morning cartoon villain?? Not only that but he’s super overshadowed by the secondary antagonist??HELLO?

I just messed around with his face and head to look more intimidating and look a little more similar to his weird storm henchmen guys. As far personality goes I’d say he’s a little silly sometimes as a sort of attempt at charm, but mostly acts serious and threatening. His goal is still to obtain the princess’ magic, but he does so in order to unlock the sheer potential of his power. Without the staff he still has storm magic, just limited and a little less controlled, whereas with the staff his magic is more controlled.

Anyway this post is long af, my fingers are getting sore and I got a goretober thingy to do so yeah *explodes*
