I caught myself on a thought that drunk Maes will be very quiet and melancholic. He's even not going to talk about his beautiful wife and adorable daughter! And Roy is... Well, he's Roy Mustang

Another day of Casther being a menace and Miles needing a raise

Yes Buccaneer is shown deadly serious a lot but you can’t tell me that man wouldn’t participate in harmless pranks every once in a while. Of course no one would ever be brave enough to make Olivier target of these shenanigans, which is why Miles has to take it all as the second in command

#Olivier and Val stay out of it unless the Fort is set on fire (literally) #which only happens every six months so it’s okay #Miles is too serious all the time he needs those pranks as a way to relax. or that’s what Casther tells everyone #fma oc #fma #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #fma briggs #olivier mira armstrong #captain buccanneer #Major miles #my art #oc art #original character #oc casther wilk #oc Val Beauxclaire

The suit was originally Monarch's so do you think Rusty decided to permanently borrow it and get it tailored because why are the pants so short on him.

I'm scribbling down Dark Brotherhood faith and ritual lore for my own headcanons, but in the spirit of Oblivion Being The Way That It Is (very absurd), part of me almost wants to just interrupt this list of very serious evil cult rituals with like

Office potluck style birthday parties for Dark Siblings which hold no solemn religious significance whatsoever

They play pin the tail on the minotaur and everyone signs a birthday card. The birthday-haver gets a 25 septim gift card to The Foaming Flask. Sometimes Lucien even shows up with pizza and cheap beer (do not tell HR)

#im joking im in 'hasnt slept for some reason' brain #unless ... #but yeah anyways oblivion is silly. the silly is an important ingredient. #this will probably not make it into the official list but im pretending it still happens #im sorry tesblr i dont really know you all that well but im tagging the tag #dark brotherhood #HR is the rest of the hand btw

Okay but thinking about it Snow did my boy Sejanus dirty 😭😂 I don’t think he intended to have him hung but his actions were careless which led to his death. And apparently in the books he never cared for Sejanus like the movie implied so it’s even more sad 😭💀

#the ballad of songbirds and snakes #coriolanus snow #sejanus plinth #I wanted that brotherhood from the movie #even then I wanted snow to care for him a bit more lol #he was fine taking over his money and place as heir tho Lmaoo #my boi deserved better #he truly loved snow #unless snow is an unreliable narrator and he did love him see down like the movie portrayed

nobody should be allowed to vote in polls that include Archie Sonic characters unless they’ve read Archie Sonic

#fern.sth #like. the polls are unfairly skewered to the competing side #if you can’t tell me who Geoffrey St John is without mentioning Sally or Hershey you get kicked #or who Locke is without saying he microwaved his son or knowing the other brotherhood #UNLESS YOU KNOW ABOUT SCOURGE BEFORE HE MEETS FIONA AND/OR BECOMES SCOURGE DONT TALK TO ME

Do me a favor and stop using "RK brothers". Use "Connor brothers" instead if mfs are never including Markus and other potential RKs.

Shit's confusing enough 👍🏾

TTS Brotherhood Ask Game!!! :)))))

9. Who do you think is the most skilled in fighting?

14. Do you think the Brotherhood should continue with new members?

18 What is a cool headcanon that you liked from someone else?

9. Who do you think is the most skilled in fighting?

Ohhh man, this is a tough one- I see them as pretty evenly matched? I can imagine them all countering each other in different ways, and perhaps having favorable/unfavorable matchups- though I think they're all be close enough in skill that any fight would be a tossup.

Honestly, I kinda want to compare them to a starter trio from pkmn? (or rock paper scissors lmao)

Hector -> Quirin -> Adira maybe?

I feel like Hector's win condition against Quirin would be to outmaneuver and take him down before he runs out of stamina. Quirin is a tank, but also slower and the easiest to outspeed- Hector's aggression and decisiveness benefits him here.

Quirin, in turn, would win a war of attrition against Adira- if Adira didn't engage, he wouldn't burn himself out like Hector would. He can play just as defensively and patiently as she can, and out-endure.

And like we saw in the series, Adira has an excellent balance between strength, defense, and dexterity, and leverages each to her advantage. I'm not sure one member of the brotherhood is objectively the most skilled fighter, but of the three, imo she's probably the most reliable.

If we're talking canon/post-series and not hypothetical matchups, I debate on if Hector or Adira would be stronger. Quirin is obviously rusty, so he's out. Hector is isolated, and not necessarily fighting skilled opponents most of the time- but he probably practices and drills himself religiously. Adira's out in the world, so more likely to encounter trouble and test her skills- but she also might avoid fights because it's safe/practical.

We do see Adira beat Hector in a fight in RatGT, buuut I think that could've gone either way.

14. Do you think the Brotherhood should continue with new members?

Honestly, no! I think the Brotherhood, as it was, needed to come to an end. The secrecy, the demand of loyalty to the point of self-destruction and sacrifice, the legacy of the moonstone and the mindtrap talisman… it's better left in the past. (I also tend to HC that the Brotherhood favored recruiting orphans or children who otherwise had nothing, which is another reason the system would need to change in my mind.)

I think the Brotherhood could definitely reform, possibly under a new name, and become more inclusive/healthy- I really like the HC that in a canon-compliant ending, Hector goes on to be a teacher/mentor for the next gen- but part of rebuilding the DK would be starting that part of it anew.

18. What is a cool headcanon that you liked from someone else?

Xannerz has really cool thoughts on the DK and the Brotherhood!! Hard to pick just one w/ all our chatter, but I really like her headcanon that not everyone left the DK in the evacuation and a small handful of the citizens stayed behind. Ones who were older or sick, and just couldn't make the long journey, or maybe who refused to leave out of love/loyalty to their home- Edmund wouldn't have been completely alone, but it's still bleak and tragic in its own way.

Meechatuck's idea that Quirin is actually quite skilled at picking locks and Mo (rainyday-deer)'s old HC that Hector whittles are also both very cute to me!

#meechatuck #ty for the ask!! #the brotherhood #ask meme #my post #text post #headcanons #I can never convince myself of a definitive matchup order w/ the bhood lmao #it's just so easy to be like 'Hector > Quirin.... BUT not if Hector gets careless or Quirin can sponge enough damage to find an opening' #or 'Adira > Hector... BUT not if he keeps his head in the game and manages his stamina better' #'Quirin > Adira.... UNLESS she aggresses instead of trying to out tank him' #etc etc

Got a new doll recently. This is a Tiny Fox which is 1/6 scale. I learned about them while researching for my MDD and gave in to getting one because they’re just SO LITTLE.

I already have regular Selim so I decided I want to make this one into baby Selim 🤭 I know I can make other characters, but he’s so fun. I’m waiting on a few pieces but will get started on him soon. Will be doing a making-of video ofc but wow I’m doing a terrible job at spacing out all my videos about the same character 💀 whoops

#I’m trying to get my channel off the ground more & ngl I’ve been not so good mentally bc I have too much free time #so I’ll take advantage of that while I have it #my crafting space is being redone rn though so I’m waiting until I can get going #I love making things though it makes me happy & I wanna do as much as I can #tip’s doll family #tip’s video plans #tipsy scales posts #yosd #1/6 doll #vinyl dolls #this is my last Selim doll btw unless I learn more about 1/12 dolls #selim bradley #fullmetal alchemist #fmab spoilers #Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood spoilers

#fallout #brotherhood of steel #yeah you wouldn't defend what's his name unless he had a nice ass otherwise you don't give a red hot flip about what the Brotherhood does #I'm just going to stop trying to address people in their stupid wrong opinions about the Brotherhood because they're not listening anyway #ad victoriam
