Why the Vindicator is my favorite Warhammer 40k tank.

Iron Snake Captain: “Polyphemus.”

Polyphemus: “Yes, sir?”

Iron Snake Captain: “Remove that heretic/xenos from my battlefield.”

Polyphemus: “Yes, sir!”

The fact that it can fire the cannon point blank if no allies are near it is funny as hell.

Brother Sergeant Arrian of Notable Squad Palladius, Iron Snakes.

Has lead his squad for 12 years after the death of the previous sergeant, Demosthenes. Claims to be terrible with his inherited plasma pistol, yet in battle always seems to hit the most difficult targets with uncanny accuracy.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes p344 / p504

Edit: I love how ‘clever, devious, deadly’ perfectly applies to Coryo as well. Birds of a feather, for lack of better words.

#does it ever drive you crazy how fast the night changes etc etc #ironic how similar they are once they both drop their pretenses #lucy the only person on earth to have outsmarted coryo #ship made in heaven fr fr #‘clever devious deadly girl’ is such a sexy description like SLAY #snowbaird #coriolanus snow #lucy gray baird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #thg #tbosas

I just watched a YouTube video about A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and there was something this guy said that really stood out to me.

He said that after seeing the first Hunger Games movie, he loved it so much that he asked his mother to buy him the books, and if he hadn't done that… he would never have picked up a book and read it… and how now, he loves reading...

It doesn't matter if people didn't like the Mortal Instrument movie… I loved it… i loved the storyline, i loved the characters, i love the Institute... and I would never have read the books if it hadn't been because I wanted to know how it continued after finding out about the cancellation of the sequel

And now I love to read… I can't imagine not reading and missing out on so many fantastic worlds, stories and characters that had made me laugh and cry… and dream...

So I picked up Iron Widow from my local independent bookstore, and there just one detail I really like.

The novel is divided into Parts, and so far each part is titled after a different Chrysalis (mech) that Wu Zhetian pilots in that part.

So the first part is "Way of the Fox", for the Nine Tailed Fox mech; the second part is "Way of the Bird", for the Vermillion Bird mech-

But Part 3 doesn't feature any mech piloting, and is titled "Way of the Snake".

Throughout this section, Wu Zhetian is working with an unscrupulous media mogul with criminal connections, in order to craft media personalities for her and her co-pilot, Li Shimin. And my initial thought was "Ah, that's the snake. Figurative."

But then the narration just casually mentions that the Goddess who crafted the first humans out of clay was Nüwa the Snake Goddess and oh-

The slimy asshole is not the snake.

They're crafting personas, creating people for the masses to see and latch on to. They're following in the path of the Snake Goddess. Way of the Snake.

That's clever, I really like that.

#iron widow #iron widow spoilers #wikipedia tells me that nüwa the snake goddess is an actual figure in chinese folk religion! neat!

Techmarine is complete.

Can't believe I've been painting minis since like July of last year, and I've only now started painting with the fine point brush out of the 12 brunches I have.

C'est la vie.

Just three more characters, but I'm also considering buying a second Lieutenant just to balance it out with the two Captains I have.

fuck it. plaguesona

#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air #i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona #this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus #but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar #the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after #the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO #snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked #if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake #and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it #i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^ #im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of #axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation... #possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that #if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats #less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life #otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds #and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it #my art #myart #my oc #sona #plaguesona #cottonbud #fur #furry art #character design #ref sheet #oc ref sheet
