[ Hey all! Hope everyone’s doing well! In order to refresh my muse and consolidate my attention to one place, I have moved Sasha, Helena, Ellie, and Tannis to @vaultmythos, along with some fresh Borderlands muses.

Feel free to follow me there if you haven’t already! My old blogs will remain available as archives, and I am happy to continue any threads from old blogs on the new one with interested parties! ]

[ hey y’all!

Tiny bit of housekeeping that I’ll eventually make more official, but I’m going to be moving my current Borderlands muses (Ellie, Sasha, Pierce, and Tannis), plus a couple of new faces, to @vaultmythos

It’ll take me a bit to set up there (blog is a huuuuuge WIP atm), but I think having one account to check instead of four+ will help me focus and keep a bit more consistent activity than I have here. It’ll also give me a chance to flex a couple of muses I’ve thought about for a while but didn’t want to commit a full blog to! Also helps me to avoid making a million sideblogs, because the sideblog setup doesn’t mesh well with the way my brain functions, for whatever reason.

Anywho! If you want to keep up to date with my writing and whatnot, feel free to follow me @vaultmythos! I’m happy to continue my current threads there, or start some new ones, if my partners are cool with the swap! ]

No deleting questions, either!

scootxr‌:

Scooter’s arms jerk to catch the ice cream and he lets out a sigh of relief when it lands neatly in the folds of his forearms but pouts with agitation when he notices that there’s no spoon to follow. He settles on taking the coffee-stained one from his mug on the floor, grabbing the beer Ellie had set down in the process. 

“So damn, nosy,” Scooter tuts, opening the beer with his teeth and promptly taking a couple of swigs before setting it back down, “It’s m’fault, m’kay? I’m jus’ a jerk with a helluva lot of nudie mags and a tendency t’ be a smidgen overprotective, I guess… ”

The mechanic takes his hat off and sets it down on the arm of the chair before cracking open the tub of ice cream, digging out a huge spoonful and taking a bite. It tastes nice but his terrible mood is turning it more sour than he expected it to be. He scowls and continues with a mouth full of dairy confectionery, “I jus’ want what’s best- like, I don’t understand why I gotta be the bad guy all the damn time when I’m the one repairing the damn bike every other week.”

She scoffs around a swig of beer at his admission, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. Nudie magazines and hyper-protectiveness. It’s Scooter summed up in a half-dozen words or less. She’s long since gotten used to seeing his handiwork chained up and burnt to a crisp on vending machines across the Dust - an argument they’ve rehashed more times than Ellie cares to count. 

She loves her brother. She really does. But shit, is she familiar with the urge to strangle him every time she notices a once-regular to her yard bound and blackened on a makeshift pyre.

 Still. He’s her brother, and the sorry sight of him sprawled on her couch, drowning his broken heart in beer and coffee and ice cream, is depressing enough to curb the ‘I told you so’ rising at the back of her throat. She takes another pull from her bottle to drown the last urge to tease the living hell out of him, and adopts as sincere an expression as she can muster before she speaks again.

“Gonna take a shot in the dark here, but-- you actually tried talkin’ to her yet? ‘Cause I’ll tell you for free, Scoot, that ‘burnin’ everyone I talk to alive’ habit you got gets old quick. But, spoiler alert-- she’s pro’ly got her own stash of porn out there somewhere. Girls got needs too, y’know.”

11, 14?

11. Favourite gun brand?

I am terrible at brand loyalty, but I usually like to have a couple of staples in my arsenal: Jakobs snipers for the sights/accuracy/stopping power per round, Vladof combat rifles for the sights/magazine size, and Maliwan SMGs for that sweet, sweet elemental kick. 

14. A gun or skill you can never seem to get along with?

BL2-era Hyperion weaponry. Not a fan of the self-stabilizing tech - it feels like a waste of time/bullets finding that sweet spot.

[cuddlingandmurder-blog]

17-20 for the BL questions?

17. A mission you found extremely hard?

I have no idea why, but the Veins of Helios in TPS get me incredibly disoriented, so the missions that take place there are weirdly challenging to me.

18. Which game has the best ending and why?

BL2 is probably the most satisfying, in terms of closure of the storyline and building anticipation for a new arc. I also like Tales for the same reason, but the cliffhanger is a killer. Gotta know that all my idiot vault hunting family is okay! Why this!?

19. Favourite boss fight?

Ooo this is a tough question. The Warrior is probably my favourite of the vault bosses, just in terms of satisfying gameplay. In terms of emotional payoff, I think the Rhys vs. Jack standoff in Tales stands out to me. Beating Jack in BL2 is Good, but there’s something extremely personal in not only fighting tooth and nail to literally rip out your inner demons, but also tearing down Jack’s entire legacy and crushing the last flicker of his influence and growing and changing as a person in doing so. Really cool character moment, even if it’s not as actiony as the rest of the franchise.

20. Character of choice in Borderlands (Mordecai, Roland, Lilith, Brick)?

Mordecai. I generally play alone, and there’s something deeply satisfying about sniping my way across Pandora with nothing but a bird and a bad attitude.

8, 15 and 54

8. If you could meet your least favourite character, what would you tell them?

I would honestly be quite content spitting on his unmarked grave. HJ is a compelling villain but to be quite honest I don’t think I’d have anything to say to him.

15. Favourite mission?

I’m partial to a lot of missions for a lot of different reasons. I’m fond of the Rakk Hive fight in BL1 because of the atmosphere leading up to it and the scenery surrounding the arena - it’s a really cool moment of showcasing just how weird and lethal Pandora and its wildlife are, and the Trash Coast is equally beautiful and just so scarred by corporate dumping. I also really like the Ghosts of the Vault mission in BL1 because of the spooky/ethereal element it adds to a game that has been pretty straightforward up to that moment - it gives that first little flavour of oh shit there could actually be something weirder going on here before you meet Tannis and see her dig site.

In BL2 I’m super fond of Ellie’s missions because honestly she’s a delight and I’d happily heck some people up for her. I also find the Animal Rights mission to be incredibly satisfying for what should be pretty obvious reasons (RIP Bloodwing).

54. Favourite AI?

Felicity deserved way better. :c

[cuddlingandmurder-blog]

28

28. Favorite villain?

I am very partial to Vallory! Her intro in E3 felt so satisfying and raised the stakes in the Tales’ crew’s story so well. She felt personal and dangerous in a way that the other antagonists hadn’t yet in the game - sinister and intelligent versus Vasquez’s bumbling wrath or August’s scorn. I really wish they’d pushed Vallory’s character a little more before the end of the series; she was an interesting contrast to Fiona and having her wiped out by deus ex machina with very little consequence kinda kicked the legs out from under her arc a little bit.

❝ I’m fully aware of the danger. ❞

“Hell yeah! That’s what I like to hear!” A grin lit Ellie’s face as she tossed her grease rag aside, a bounce in her step as she turned and headed deeper into the garage, gesturing for the other woman to follow. 

“I knew you were gonna be fun.” It wasn’t every day the Dust spat someone out on her doorstep, but Ellie had developed a good eye for the type of folk who did. Most common were the folks banging down her door; either for scrap or to scrap (or both, as the desert-addled bandit-types were wont to do). Less common (but way more exciting) were the folks like the girl come to call today - fighting types with a fire in their belly and a look in their eye Ellie recognized as a yearning to test their mettle. Scrappy folks; the kind who offered Ellie a much-needed change of pace from the monotony of scrapping junkers and the idiots who operated them.

“So, you got somethin’ special in mind? You don’t strike me as a ‘factory default’ kinda gal.”

Ellie is probably my favorite Borderlands Character in general

Continued from here!

A snort of laughter sounds from the kitchen as Ellie rummages through the fridge. She reappears a moment later clutching two beer bottles in one hand and a pint of ice cream in the other, a bemused grin on her face as she considers the sad state of her brother.

"Scooter, as your sister it’s my sacred duty to inform you that you are, without a doubt, the weirdest sumbitch I know. And that’s includin’ the guy who keeps comin’ ‘round here reciting soliloquies about meat every other week.” She sets down one of the beers on the floor next to the couch he’s laid up in, and tosses the pint of ice cream unceremoniously at his chest. An affectionate hair-ruffle completes her care regimen before she retreats to her own chair, flopping down and cracking open her beer.

“Real talk, though-- you ever plannin’ on tellin’ me what went on with you two? ‘Cause the crusher takes a sec’ to warm up, and I was plannin’ on makin’ it an early night tonight, y’know?”
