Arknights - Tumblr Posts

The new Arknights artbook is out and they straight up cannot make up their minds about how Mudrock works.

Mudrock is a huge armored warrior.

Wait, not really, she's actually short, only 163 cm tall, it's just that (Trust 50 Files) "Mudrock uses Originium Arts between the cushioning materials as padding. One could ask whether her tremendous form actually intimidates the enemy", so she's short, but her suit is in fact massive and makes her look enormous.

Wait wait no scratch that, as you can clearly see in the artbook, she fits the damn suit of armor perfectly, meaning the suit of armor cannot be significantly bigger than her, so even in her armored form, she necessarily needs to be roughly the same height and size as her supposed "tremendous form". The only possibilities that remain are that she is in fact short and doesn't look enormous in her armor, or that is she is in fact enormous and Human Resources are awful at their job. But the previously stated, in-game official resource everyone that has Mudrock can read directly contradicts this, citing her as small, but looking 'tremendous' when wearing the armor.

Also the instagram model yoga pants is historical revisionism:

There is nothing there, you've gotta be drinking spoiled milk if you think otherwise.

Fellas you have GOT to get your shit together, you're going to give Mudrock an identity crisis. The accounts of Mudrock's appearance are less concise and more inconsistent than Big Foot reports. The Loch Ness Monster conspiracy theorists are more consistent with their descriptions of Nessie than Hypergryph is with Mudrock.

Summary: Just you loving Bucky and Jason

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦

“Buckyyyy.." Bucky couldn't help but smile a little at hearing you whine.

"Yes doll?" Bucky said, looking up at you.

"What time did Jay say he was coming home?" You asked with a slight pout. Bucky chuckled and smiled softly at your pouting and at the mention of Jason.

When Bucky came back to himself, when he could finally be done being The Winter Soldier, he felt that he was unworthy of love from anyone so he pushed the idea away. Then reluctantly became a member of The earth's mightiest heroes.

Then Bucky made a choice to leave the Avenger to leave New York for Gotham to retire and finally just be James Buchanan Barnes he didn't think that he'd fall for anyone. He wasn’t supposed to fall for anyone.

After everything he did, all the people he hurt, people he killed, the lives he forever altered he thought love would never be in the cards for a guy like him, so it wasn't in the plan to fall for anyone. Especially someone who was a vigilante.

A person who helped keep the citizens of Gotham safe. He didn't think he'd fall for someone let alone Jason, let alone The Red Hood. But he did.

He got lucky with not only finding someone as loving and caring as you but also someone like Jason.

Jason and Bucky understood one another better than he thought two people could ever understand each other. They could walk hand in hand through the darkness in a way no one ever could for either of them, they both had done things that they've grown to regret, things that made them hate themselves, that have made them feel undeserving of love from anyone, undeserving of anyone caring for them.

But then they found each other, then they found you.

You brought them out of the dark, you were a light, their light. You help remind them that there's more to them than the darkness that they carry, that they deserved light despite everything that happened, everything that they had done or whatever they went through.

"He didn't say doll. He should be back any minute, he's usually done around this time." Bucky said while grabbing your hand and giving it a light squeeze to try and help reassure you.

You sighed and closed your eyes, trying to ground yourself for a moment, to lessen the anxiety and the stress you felt. You knew Jason would be home soon. You knew that. You only asked to get some kind of reassurance.

Jason had been a vigilante for years, he knew what he was doing, but accidents happen. Accidents have happened to Jason. But that was before you and Bucky.

The three of you didn't know each other before Jason died you never knew Jason as the trouble making kid that tried to steal tires off the Batmobile in Crime Alley. The kid that got taken away from Bruce, Dick and Alfred too soon. You both got there after. After Red Hood first came (or came back) to Gotham after the fighting, the pushing and pulling between The Batman and Red Hood.

You open your eyes when you hear the window in the kitchen that leads to the fire escape open. You get up from where you and Bucky were sitting in the living room to walk to the kitchen to see someone crawling through the window. That person was your other boyfriend, the infamous Jason Peter Todd. You can't help the smile that spreads across your face when you see him in the kitchen still in his gear from his patrol.

You always felt better when both of your boys were home, where you knew they were safe.

Jason takes off his helmet and looks at you with a smile as you walk up to him to wrap yourself around him. He holds you, his arms wrapped around your back while your arms are around his back, while your head goes on his chest.

"Hi sweets." Jason says softly after kissing the top of your head.

He knows how anxious you can get when he's on patrol so he always gives you a second when he gets back to help reassure you that he's really there. That he's home, he's safe. It only takes a few more seconds before you feel another large body pressed into your back, its Bucky, now you're squished between two of your favorite people.

You treasure moments like this.

While Bucky and Jason greet each other and talk, you sit there and just soak up the moment. You can hear them talk but nothing is really registering to you at the moment. After a little while Bucky pulls away and then Jason grabs your chin with his thumb and pointer finger making you look up at him.

"I'm gonna go shower, alright sweets?" Jason said with a small smile then kisses your head softly as you give a small nod and then he goes off to your shared bedroom.

"Are you okay doll?" Bucky asks after a second.

"Yeah I'm fine, just you know my anxiety can get the best of me sometimes." You say with a small shrug, bucky looks at you with a small smile and wraps his arms around you.

"It's okay I know your mind can get the best of you sometimes but he's safe and he's home okay?" you nod and just lean into bucky for a minute.

"Let's get dinner warmed up doll." Bucky says after a few minutes and you nod at him with a smile.

You and Bucky start to warm up the pasta and chicken that was made earlier. You like eating with all three of you together as much as possible so on nights when you knew Jason or Bucky wouldn't be home till kinda late you'd make dinner so that it can be warmer up later so all of you could eat together.

It was important to you to spend that time together, that was one of the things both men loved about you how you always valued the small moments.

After a few minutes of you and Bucky warming up food, laughing and talking, Jason comes out with black sweats on and towel draped over his wet hair.

He smiles at the sight of you and Bucky just laughing and smiling at each other, it's one of his favorite things to see. The two people he loves more than anything being happy and in love.

Jason walks up behind Bucky and wraps his arms around him and then smiles at you, Bucky smiles and looks over his shoulder at Jason and gives him a kiss after a few seconds they pull away and smile at each other. You can't help but let the sight warm your heart. Jason pulled away from Bucky to walk towards you and put his hands on the counter you were leaning on trapping you between the counter and him, he smiles down at you and gives you a kiss that shamelessly shakes you to your core.

When he pulls away from the kiss, you smile at him and he looks at you with those green eyes that you love so much, those eyes that make you melt in an instant.

"Dinner smells good sweets, Thanks for waiting for me, both of you." Jason says and at the end of his sentence he looks over his shoulder at Bucky while Bucky looks at you both with a smile on his face.

"We'll always wait for you Jay." You say hugging Jason while Bucky walks behind him to hug both of you sandwiching Jason in between you and Bucky.

"Always.” Bucky says without hesitation kissing Jason's head

(specrene) Specter catches wind of Irene's request to the Doctor for Iberian vinyl records. Specter procures a collection and brings them to her little bird. Irene insists on paying back the favour. Specter asks for nothing except that they listen together.

Irene stares, open-mouthed, at the box in her hands.

It's not just one-it's an entire set of vinyl records from Iberia. A piece of history in her hands. Her history.

She looks up at Laurentina owlishly, swallows.

"...May I...?"

"Of course! Open it right up!"

Irene's trembling fingers click open the snap on the side of the box-heavens, even the packaging is beautiful-and slides a glossy record partway out of the package, tentatively traces her fingers along the grooves.

It really hits her now, what she's holding.

"L-Laurentina-" Her chin snaps up suddenly, her eyes slightly widening with the panic of owing something far greater than can be repayed. "-What do you want for-?"

"I want to hear them of course!"

"N-No, I mean in return for-" Irene's expression wilts as Laurentina's smile spreads wider, a refusal poised on her lips.

"I want to hear them." She repeats, curtseying to a sit on the end of the sofa, propping her chin on her wrists, "With you, of course. You've no need to repay me for taking a little swim."

Irene sorely suspects that she is downplaying the 'little swim' part of the story. But she can't physically wait another moment-she wheels around to all but run to the record player, setting the needle, walking back to sit by Laurentina-

-But before she can, Laurentina is rising, hand outstretched towards her.

"But I suppose if you're offering, I'll take a dance for it."

06/28 HappyBirthday🎉

Something so incredibly interesting about Kal'tsit is the fact that in canon we see her do all her fighting with Mon3tr. It is strongly implied in quite a few places throughout the story that even without Mon3tr's aid, she's an incredibly capable combatant:

So this raises the question of: if she's such a cracked out fighter, then why isn't she doing any of the fighting herself? Even in situations that are literally life or death for her (like fighting the Emperor's Blade), she refuses to pick up a weapon and defend herself, even though she is almost certainly extremely capable of doing so.

My guess is that this is because fighting reminds her of her past regrets and sins. If we think about the possible times in her life where she fought but then she regretted it, the primary one that comes to mind is (as revealed in chapter 11), that one time about 200 years ago when she led an invasion of Kazdel:

I do not believe that we have ever seen the present Kal'tsit ever wield a weapon herself (in some artworks, and in her in game sprite, we do see her with a gun-like thing, but that seems to be a healing gun) in contrast to when she invaded Kazdel, during which she's very clearly using a sword.

So I think what happened was that after her invasion of Kazdel, she swore to herself that she'd never do something like this again and has stuck by this promise to herself ever since.

One last thought: Does her deciding to kill people with Mon3tr rather than her hands matter at all, morally or otherwise? I personally think (and I think most people would agree with me on this) that there isn't really much of a distinction between the two, but this difference is clearly one that is very meaningful to Kal'tsit. As for why she finds the difference so important? I have no clue, but do find it so incredibly interesting that this matters that much to her.

Prompt: ifrit has a crush and doesn't know how to deal with it.

"JOYYYYYYYYYYYYCE!!"

Ptilopsis sets down her tablet as Ifrit throws herself onto the couch beside her. "Good afternoon Ifrit. For what purpose do you require this unit's assistance?"

"There's - ok, see, there's a thing that Miss Lena's putting on, she's setting up a pavilion in the garden, and there's gonna be food and dancing and dri -- absolutely no alcohol whatsoever, don't tell Silence, and it's coming up in a few weeks, and I wanted to go but I don't know who's gonna be there and I was thinking well, ok, I'll see if Sheepy wanted to go, she likes that sort of thing, at least, I think she does? But anyway I was gonna ask her if she wanted to go with me but every time I think about doing it I get this weird feeling in my stomach? It's like, floaty and shakey and I don't like it but I don't wanna ask Silence about it she'll just put me on more meds and I think I forgot to take my vyvathingy this morning so I'd get in trouble for that and I don't wanna bother her anyway and you know doctor stuff so I thought I would ask you about it and also do you know how to tell someone you wanna take them to a party?"

Ptilopsis blinked twice while Ifrit paused, catching her breath. "Processing...... Is Ifrit referring to Miss Eyjafjalla?"

"YEAH, her, she's really nice and she doesn't yell at me when I burn things and I know she spends a lot of time working so I wanted to try and be friends and take her to do something fun? But thinking about her makes my head feel kinda fuzzy but like, in a good way? Joyce, stop laughing, this is serious!!"

Lappland's E2 art shows a large amount of crystal formation on her right leg—it should be affecting her movement, but she's good enough that most might not notice. But someone like Shining would.

"Miss Lappland. Have you ever considered using a cane?"

"'Scuse me? The fuck would I do with a cane?"

"The Originum deposits in your right leg show no signs of slowing their growth. A cane will decrease the stress on that leg, and potentially -- "

"Nah, fuck right off. I already got everything I need." Lappland motions to the swords still strapped to their hip, sticking awkwardly out from the exam chair.

"You also favor your left side significantly when you fight."

"Fuck you. Don't talk to me about swordfighting."

"I've seen you fight. You prefer the Cabaretti school, but your leg can't withstand the footwork, and you're scrambling to adapt. You tried Sicilian briefly, but that conflicts with your dual wielding."

"How the fuck -- "

"You should look into Floren/Guilder, or Meletieas. I find they tend to favor those with limited mobility."

"...Who the hell are you?"

Shining smiles gently. "No one of consequence. Just a wandering doctor, trying to care for those in need."

Some art of Ifrit I made a year ago.

She is sooo beautiful!!😭

I seriously hope this hasn’t been done yet

save them
