You might want to rehost that. As it is, if he changes his avatar, the pic will change, rendering the joke meaningless to all those who will wander these desolate pages in the years after the apocalypse, clicking next page time and time again, reading through stories both great, terrible, and the one about Florida mating with Australia, reading the discussions on methods of moon colonization, the efficacy of centuries-old weaponry, and whether or not kobolds can drown, reading as their eyes bleed from the concentrated pointlessness of 90% of the pages after the hundredth, reading forever.

So you may want to rehost it on imgur or reverse image search it to find the sauce. Or just ask Guile.

I think it would be more interesting if – rather than having the obvious visor-like front in that pic – Anna's helmet was just a smooth curve of jet black. Windows are a structural weakpoint.

And where we're going, we don't need eyes.

Expanding on UberJJK's point, the eyes were probably added to seem more human and the horns as a distinguishing feature if IFF was disrupted. We're no longer flying solo hundreds of miles from support, its important that we're recognisable to other Valks and not creep them the hell out.

Whilst the Toph pic adds to it, the quote originates from a delightful horror film which was rather well done. Where we're going, we don't need eyes to see.

IntoLight - Infantry Powered Armour

    So, I decided to try and sketch out parts of the power armor the normal soldiers use. I'm a meh artist, so this isn't that good. Compared to Renu and Familiar's art, this is crap.

    Oh that high note, enjoy.




    I feel like the armor should be a little bulkier, but oh well.

    So, I tried to draw a bulkier version, and this is what I got. You can tell I stopped trying on the left arm, but meh.

    Be warned, I am still a crap artist.



    I swear I will draw something related to the main cast next.

    Eh, still better than the few attempts when I've tried drawing myself. Just keep at it, and you will get better. I don't think anyone here will crucify you for not managing to make absolutely jaw dropping pieces of art immediately.

    dontpressenter - Bad End 8503
  • Apocrypha
    • The scene is one of the Academy's many classrooms, chairs surrounding a centerpiece projecting a holographic display. The chairs, and the room, are seemingly devoid of anyone, and the display does not display a battlefield nor weapons of war. Instead, it displays bold text, rotating horizontally so that it could be read from all sides.

    TASUKETE, SILVIA-SENSEI ~ <3

    "Hello!"

    The first year cadet known as Rosa Silvia appears, not wearing her usual garb but rather the instructor's uniform.

    "Welcome back to the post-end lesson for Cadet Rokusabe who has unfortunately got himself into a pretty ugly bad end in the 'Monster' route."

    Rosa nods, confident in her knowledge. The holographic text is replaced by an image of Anna Sanchez.

    "The important thing to remember, Cadet, is that even though she may be an killer construct of war forged in the fires of an apocalypse, Anna still has the heart of a teenage girl. A fragile heart carrying a heavy weight."

    YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT

    "So, keep in mind the kind of hardship someone must go through to become like Anna, and try not to push her trauma buttons needlessly. Do this, and the 'Monster' route should be a breeze!"

    YEAH, NO

    "Ahah, well. The 'Monster' route is the second last route, so it being difficult was always going to be a given. But don't be afraid to rise up to the challenge, Cadet!"

    With a determined smile, the makeshift instructor gives a thumbs up.

    "Reload your save and aim for that Good End!"

    ---

    Although this is an anime and not a Visual Novel, I thought this would be a cute little thing.

    Like it.

    What you mean you thought Silva became an Ace for flying Valks? Actually she is a romantic Ace, able to seduce entire flights of Antagonists at once.

    Edit: just checked the post counter. If @Alphaleph posts one more time before Avalanche he will be the new top poster.

    Having fully read this story i find it to be amazing. I do have to admit that the scenario chosen was a bad idea for multiple reason (that i can think of): yukari having fought in that battle had lost friends means that having to go through the trauma again but it could help her deal with it if she can understand that regardless of your skill there will always be causualties in war; anna though is a far bigger issue though as her very character revolves around fighting the enemy for years trying to save her home but as she was only 1 person losses couldn't be fully prevented, and with the constant fear of death the people went mad trying to survive in any way possible, culminating in anna's last resort assault which not only destroyed a breach and a hive but also killed a major threat to humanities forces yet the town was finished due to crazed infighting over the little girl trying to save them. The trauma makes it easier to fight the enemy but makes it much harder to interact with her allies
     
    To para-phrase a poster in an unrelated thread: 'the main characters were uninteresting because they acted like mature, reasonable adults' (talking about Shadow of Mordor).

    Sentiments like these is why the 'idiot ball' trope is so very common: sometimes, for the sake of a good story, someone just has to screw up.

    And, admittedly, sometimes people screw up regardless of how mature or reasonable they are.

    However, on a meta level, it is a powerful character building episode that's ALSO full of awesome action. Which is good for relevance, because it raises questions.

    which brings to mind the question of what their thoughts will be if they find out the truth of her past? I mean it is a ghastly thing after all.

    Well, none of them are tremendous enough assholes to blame her in any way for it, so it probably won't be anything too bad.

    The only way that it's ghastly is the type of ghastly that involves lots of hugs for the survivors. I literally cannot see how anything could be blamed on her in that scenario. :V
