[black-arms-hivemind]

This is a threat, send me all your Darms lore from canon and TEoS (and send pics so I can look at they)

Okay okay so!!!

Canonically they don't have official genders or sexes, I don't think they're ever referred to with any gender related pronouns, but in my lore they're all AMAB, but every single one of them except for Blurk turned out to Not Be Cis, with Cyzer being non-binary while Cregal and Rhygenta are trans girls.

They're wisps that were genetically modified with Black Arms DNA by Eclipse when they were still in their eggs - there were originally a lot more of them, as shown in Shadow Fall, but when Eclipse’s escape pod crashed on Angel Island, a lot of them sadly didn't make it, leaving just the four we know and love.

This is the first time we see them fully revealed in the comic. Did you know that I used to constantly get Cyzer and Cregal mixed up? The two are rather similar and have a shared character trope of "siblings that fight", so let me say that Cyzer is the cyan one, amd Cregal is the red one.

Each of their names are a combo of two different words that describe them in each way, one word being their color, while the other one is just something that's relevant to that Darm specifically in some way

Cyzer (I pronounce it "Ky-zer", yes even tho Cyan has a soft C) = Cyan + Lazer (their ability)

Cregal (I pronounce it "Kre-gul") = Crimson + Eagle (a reference to her ability - which is to give whoever uses them wings to fly with)

Rhygenta (I pronounce it "Re-jen-tah") = Magenta + Rhythm (She's special in the fact that "Magenta" ALSO refers to the type of wisp she is/was originally, and also while in a meta sense, "Rhythm" is a reference to it's ability, since Eclipse didn't know Rhy's ability at the time, it's probably story-wise referencing how they resemble a eighth note in shape)

Blurk (i pronounce it "Bl-urk", that one's a given) = Blue + Lurk (I'm not actually sure how this one relates to him? I figure Eclipse just picked a word that sounded cool for that one. Blurk's ability is to make the person who uses him invincible for a brief amount of time)

Admittedly, Blurk, Cyzer and Cregal in canon are just kinda There. Like yes, they're cute, amd are great companions and "minions" for Eclipse, but they don't have a ton of character beyond a few traits. Cregal and Cyzer are messy, they fight, and give off a vibe of general cockiness, and Blurk is also messy (even more so), grumpy amd one can infer from him apparently needing to be reminded to chew his food - impatient.

Rhygenta on the other hand, has more going on. This first apparence of her and her siblings already sets the tone for the whole ass character arc she gets throughout the Total Eclipse storyline. Eclipse says that while she is well behaved, they don't seem to have any powers.

Rhy's arc is very much a side-plot thing, but there's enough there that it's pretty easy to see why it's the fan favorite among her and her siblings.

We don't see them again until the next issue of the arc, as Eclipse has gone out on their own to hopefully get food, and maybe try again to convert Shadow who knows-

But, ignoring the source pronouns used for Eclipse, here is when the Dark Arms first fully realize the situation they're in, and immediately get an antagonistic view of Team Dark & Friends, obviously pretty pissed off/concerned that these strange people want to harm their caretaker. But for now they're left to let these feelings fester while Eclipse is out fighting.

Take note of each expression in the second panel- Blurk, Cyzer and Cregal are visibly angry, ready to fight, while Rhygenta is scared and worried. Though no words are used to convey it, this is another building block of Rhy's arc.

Once again we're made to wait until the next issue to see these four again, but when we do see them once more - Eclipse has returned to them, amd they make their yearning to join Eclipse in their fight against the heroes known, with Cregal once again being the first one to speak - what a talkative gal! Eclipse is doubtful, not wanting them to get hurt, but agrees to it, which excites them - and probably the reader too, as we're about to get a lot more Darms action!

In a confrontation with Rouge, Relic, Omega and Fixit (Oh. And Julian too. He's our fucker to hate this arc since Death is dead), Eclipse uses a variety of Dark Arms abilities to render them unable to stop them as they take the Master Emerald. Take note of how everyone gets to show off their power - except for Rhygenta. Again, a non-verbal (or non-dialouge-bal?) detail to further along her arc. A lot of her arc is like that, and I find it pretty unique! It's a subtle little B-plot that you more pick up on re-reads rather than your first time through.

Since this post is getting rather long, let me skip to the end of the arc, when the climax of Rhy's arc happens

In the midst of trouble, Eclipse once again calls upon all the Dark Arms, except for Rhygenta. Blurk, Cyzer and Cregal quickly become tired and unable to fight, amd all hope seems lost - until Rhy steps in and reveals that, despite what Eclipse had thought, she is in fact the strongest of all the Dark Arms, blasting Knuckles and Shadow away with a Sonic Boom, giving Eclipse and the others enough time to escape out of the situation alive and well.

That's all for canon lore, and also for the images, as I've reached Tumblr's image limit 😔

BUT

The Era of Shadow is essentially a sequel to this arc, taking place a few years later.

The Dark Arms, while still being kids obviously, have grown a good bit, taking the initiative to learn Hi-Bloosiæne (Blarms language) & English in order to communicate with more of their brethren than just Eclipse. Rhygenta in particular has taken an interest in genetic engineering just like Eclipse, and after doing a ton of research on it's own and with Eclipse, created her and their siblings darkling bodies to inhabit and pilot in order to both feel closer to Eclipse and the other Black Arms once they meet them, and to better be able to present their gender identities. These bodies are able to shapeshift just like regular Blarms, and basically work like bio-mech suits.

While Rhygenta is obviously the most book-smart of the four, none of them are necessarily dumb, and work together with Eclipse and each other very well.

But yeah, that's all really. Might reblog this w/ the darkling suits if I get around to drawing them

Got some new members in my system who are all fictives of Bliss from Powerpuff Girls 2016! Except Bliss asked me to redesign her and the others to match what they *actually* look like rather than PPG16's sad attempt at making a black character.

As well as that, they also have completely different backstory, rather than being the first creation of Professor Utonium, Bliss, a young adult budding scientist, used Chemical X on herself to be the super hero of her dreams, but the powers she gave herself, while strong, were overwhelming and damaging. So, to protect Townsville and herself, she split her power into four people. Bliss Utonium, the Powerpuff Girl, her original self with 1/4th of the power she had originally. Brawn Jojo, the Rowdyruff Boy. Blitz Uranium, the Powerpunk Girl. And finally, Brain, the Rowdyright Boy.

Despite Blitz and Brawn specifically being more hostile and violent, they're still on the side of good, albeit, as anti-heroes. And obligatory warning banner because this *is* specifically about *my* system's fictives rather than some AU, they are real people.

"You must really like the gift we got you, Tsunami!"

".... Right?"

Uhhh hi! This is just me reusing a few drawing ideas I had in like 2018 or so - starting with this one, "Decorative Leftovers".

The ideas were for this thing I called "Inky-Goretober", it didn't last long, probably because I was just making prompts for myself as I went, but those prompts I made were pretty interesting - so I thought I'd take another shot at them in 2022!

Posting this here rather than the TEoS blog cause I anticipate that not all of the re-approches to the Inky-Goretober series will be connected to TEoS lol

Also the little child at Tsun's side is @dreamcast-popstar 's OC Black Tea, btw

Random HCs that I have for the DNO Universe:

-Most Mobians Are homophobic and part of the Cannibal Cult’s rituals involve praying to the higher power about being free of that sort of oppression -if Barry survived the fire he would probably have lost an eye and his left arm, as well as an ear. If he managed to get out and get medical treatment he would change his name and his appearance and end up in a beard to get out of trouble. (If you don’t know what a beard is, it’s a gay person faking a straight relationship to avoid potential consequences)

-There’s 100% that famous Popstar called Justin Beaver (from Sonic Boom) that exists in the DNO universe. -Barry would’ve loved Penelope Scott and Jack Stauber the most. -Shadow rarely ever said he loved anything, but if asked, he would most certainly answer that he loves his son (Barry). -Barry listens to “Wish You Would” by Taylor Swift whenever he goes to visit his dad’s grave (on the anniversary of Shadow’s death ofc). -Barry would’ve had a Sega Dreamcast as well as a copy of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. His dad bought for him for his tenth birthday🥰

[the-era-of-shadow]

Hey sorry for not posting here in a bit??? Hyperfixation has taken me

But I'm gonna drop these which I made a while ago and explain?? Cause there's gonna be a bit of change as to how TEoS functions

But first, hey, I made a new logo. Not that different from the old logo but it's an upgrade

[First ID: The new "The Era of Shadow" logo, which has the words "The Era" and "Shadow" written out in thick yellow handwritten text which fades into orange at the bottom. The word "Of" is written smaller than the other words, but still is in yellow, but fades to orange at the top of the text rather than the bottom. The "Of" is sandwiched between "The Era" and "Shadow", and the O in "Shadow" is replaced by a necklace charm that rembles Doom's Eye. The charm is metallic gray, outlined in the same yellow as the text. The circular center and the six triangles on the charm are colored in red. The text is outlined in metallic gray, and the whole logo has a black shadow behind it. Above the logo is the text "HomeSweetHive's", in thin yellow handwriting. /END ID]

[Second ID: The same image as the first, but now with a red ribbon at the bottom with "Origins" written on it in white, with a Black Arms symbol and an inversed Black Arms symbol surrounding it, also in white. The ribbon is outlined in black. /END ID]

You must be wondering, now

What's with that second one? Origins? As in the arc?

Yes, and no

I've decided that I have way too many ideas for what was once the "Origins Arc" so I've decided to make it it's own side series! Cool, right? Now I can cover so much more backstory! Now I can have backstory fics for the Freedom Fighters too!

So, that begs the question, what of The Day The Moon Died?

I was thinking that it could act as a "pilot" of sorts for TEoS: Origins?

The rest of the stories in TEoS: Origins won't have the constant cutting in from the present day, but it still conveys that purpose of telling a story of a time before, well, the era of Shadow!

Besides, TDTMD is already in a funky area of it's own, as I've given pardon to it being a part of my good friends at @dreamcast-popstar 's Red Ring Timeline, serving the same purpose it does in TEoS of telling how the Black Arms came to be.

But yeah, if you want more action go follow us at @black-arms-hivemind, we post a lot more there, and you can see what's been keeping me away

I'll tell you now, it's something that I will be using in TEoS, but the idea itself is general Blarms stuff that can really be utilized for any AU

Shoutouts

8 Sept 1965 – The Monkees were born, a small ad in New York’s Daily Variety on this day attracted 437 young men interested in forming the world’s first "manufactured" boy band –The Monkees. It happened after young movie and TV director Bob Rafelson, looking for his big break, dreamt up a show about a struggling rock band. He ran a production company called Raybert with his business partner Bert Schneider, whose father was the head of Columbia Pictures. The TV division of Columbia agreed in 1965 to go ahead with the project. All that was then needed was a band – or, at least, “four insane boys” who could literally play the part. - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/hey-hey-were-the-monkees

Famous Birthdays

9 Sept 1828 - Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received multiple nominations for Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906, and nominations for Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1910, and his miss of the prize is a major Nobel prize controversy. he is best known for the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth, and Sevastopol Sketches, based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his non-fiction work A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection. He was born in Yasnaya Polyana, Tula Governorate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Tolstoy

9 Sept 1890 - Colonel Harland David Sanders, American businessman, best known for founding fast food chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (also known as KFC) and later acting as the company's brand ambassador and symbol. His name and image are still symbols of the company. The title 'colonel' was honorary – a Kentucky Colonel – not the military rank. Sanders held a number of jobs in his early life, such as steam engine stoker, insurance salesman and filling station operator. He began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant inNorth Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. During that time Sanders developed his "secret recipe" and his patented method of cooking chicken in a pressure fryer. Sanders recognized the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and the first KFC franchise opened in South Salt Lake, Utah in 1952. When his original restaurant closed, he devoted himself full-time to franchising his fried chicken throughout the country. The company's rapid expansion across the United States and overseas became overwhelming for Sanders. In 1964, then 73 years old, he sold the company to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown Jr. and Jack C. Massey for $2 million ($16.2 million today). However, he retained control of operations in Canada, and he became a salaried brand ambassador for Kentucky Fried Chicken. He was born in Henryville, Indiana - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Sanders

9 Sept 1953 - Janet Fielding, Australian actress, known for her role in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who as companion of the Fourth Doctor, and later of the Fifth Doctor,Tegan Jovanka. She made a guest appearance on Jim'll Fix It in a Doctor Who-related sketch alongside Colin Baker'sDoctor in 1985 (A Fix with Sontarans). She played Mel during Sylvester McCoy's audition for the part of the Seventh Doctor. She was born in Brisbane, Queensland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Fielding

11 Sept 1940 - The American Mathematical Society met at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, a few hundred miles north of the building of Bell Labs in New York, where was the Complex Number Computer. George Stibitz arranged to have the computer connected by telephone lines (28-wire teletype cable) to a teletype unit installed there. The Complex Number Computer worked well, and there is no doubt it impressed those who used it. The meeting was attended by many of America's most prominent mathematicians, as well as individuals who later led important computing projects. The Dartmouth demonstration foreshadowed the modern era of remote computing, but remote access of this type was not repeated for another ten years. - https://history-computer.com/ModernComputer/Relays/Stibitz.html

I'm jumping more in on the Assigning Vocaloid thing and gently handing you Tea and Rosalina

(Also Blaire being Gumi is so true and so real I love it)

I often also associate Tea with Gumi, as well as Kammomill - it's a House Tea wide thing in my brain

But for the sake of variety here, I'll go with SONiKA (who I'll just be writing as Sonika from here cause it's easier)

Sonika to me has pretty similar vibes to Gumi, but with a deeper voice, so that's why I'm going with her lol

As for Rosalina... my goodness, I just feel like Luka's voice fits her so well honestly - so Rosa gets Luka!
