Mistral Mgr - Tumblr Posts
I like the fact that Armstrong uses the classic trope of defeat means friendship to recruit all the wind of destruction and tried to do the same with Raiden as if he were the protagonist of a shonen that after defeating his rivals they become his friends.
Just imagining Armstrong beating up Monsoon and Sundowner only to offer them a handshake after beating them and they have accepted is hilarious.
Mistral’s entire segment is already hilarious and insane on account of it being Mistral (and Metal Gear Rising in general), but it really reaches a new level when you find out this mysterious benefactor and his ideals that she’s referring to is fucking Armstrong. The scene is completely recontextualized knowing she’s borderline swooning over “Don’t fuck with this senator” and I’m just trying to imagine how that even happened.
Did he go on that big hammy motive rant as he beat her up, and then Mistral was like omg I’m in love with you…r ideals!!! Did he offer a handshake when it was all said and done and she accepted? Come to think of it Armstrong also offered a handshake to Sam after defeating him, and got his employment as a wind of destruction. Is this how Armstrong recruited all of the others, just beating the friendship into them like the Shonen trope? And since it worked multiple times before, it’s why he’s so totally blindsided when Raiden doesn’t play along (because this dude really is convinced he’s the hero who befriends his enemies to save the day, as a foil to Raiden)?

A stranger, she remains
Ooookay, can I just... leave this here? For the first time in six months I sat down for digital and these are spoilers for art with the Winds
The game is called "Find the One the Author Likes The Most."
I wanted to draw all the Winds. And so, I sit drawing, and then with a window with tools I cover Sundowner's face so that he does not look at me. Because his face didn't come out very well and I just started laughing, but I couldn't do anything about it. It's the same with Sam. The faces of these two are a problem for me.
One day the day will come, and Sam's face I paint won't make me laugh wildly.
Hi!!
Can I ask you for headcannons about a beach day with s/o and desperados?
Love your blog btw! 💕
i’ll let the character limit slide since i love love love this trope ! but please remember my 4 character rule for hcs /pos ! 💖💞
Armstrong had managed to secure a small piece of a beachfront for the crew after a particularly large achievement. Both Monsoon and Sam joke about being in some weird anime while Sundowner grabs and lobs Khamsin into the ocean. Mistral is in the water quicker than anyone expects, and stays in longer than everyone else. Armstrong is taking advantage of this time off to sunbathe and, as he would put it, “Throw around the ol’ pigskin”.
Monsoon doesn’t go into the water, at all. He’s like a cat in this sense and there is no way you can get him to go in, save for you being in danger. Buries you in sand to make you look like a mermaid, or octopus, or a Gekko.
Sam spends the day dragging you into the water with him every hour, chasing Mistral out of the water for scaring you, and sparring with Sundowner. He’ll also be using this opportunity to show off for you, with Monsoon and Khamsin in the back fucking with him.
Mistral leads you into the water with her, not at all being rough like she would with the others. Swimming with her is like another kind of dance, she turns into a whole different creature in the water as she guides you through waves currents.
Sundowner is reliving childhood by building sandcastles! He'll also be playing football-tag with Armstrong and Khamsin, but at least you can participate in sandcastle building without being smushed. His are clumsy-looking, but sturdy enough to survive being next to the waves, much like himself you point out.
Armstrong's relaxing, more than likely, with a new paper or book. Sit next to him, he snuck in drinks for just you two to share! You might be able to convince him to go swimming with you, though it's not his favorite and he won't stay in the water long.
Khamsin likes throwing you into the water, as well as wrecking Sundowner's castles and being a general nuisance. Invites you to play football-tag with him, but only goes easy on you for the first couple of rounds.
The night ends when Khamsin ends up getting stung by a jellyfish, it was funny at first but after a while he kept complaining about the pain, so Armstrong called for a tiltrotor to come 'round to pick everyone up, ruining your plans for a group bonfire :(
