Dragoon Arts @dragoonarts - Tumblr Blog

Well, seems like tumblr is deleting the whole nsfw tumblr things for some people’s account. While I haven’t been here much or more or less just coming in and out of here when i feel like it, can’t say nothing really is going to happen to this blog here. But does kind of put a bit of a damper on trying to come back here for one reason or another, though I’ll still be here and hanging around as I usually do in my somewhat lurking.

so remember that worldbuilding website, notebook.ai, that was goin around and everyone was so excited, but it turned out you had to pay a (frankly outrageous) subscription to access any of the best tools?

here’s what you get for free:

yeah. all of them. double what notebook.ai offers for pay. yeah baby.

I personally use Obsidian Portal for this stuff, but wow this is really neat! I may have chosen this if I wasn’t hundreds of pages deep on OP already.

A present from the past me to my current self.

Money’s really scarcing, but alas, I’ve finally got a sword I’ve designed and ordered last year. It was supposed to be done by last January or February, but the smith got health issues and I know better than to rush a fellow artisan.

Unlike Link & Ganon or Mario & Bowser, Ridley and Samus have one very clear storyline.

And they hate each other.

A playful and friendly child, Samus Aran lived with her parents on a colony until it was attacked by Space Pirates led by Ridley. The Chozo, a race of bird-like aliens, arrived too late to stop the colony’s massacre, and took in Samus, the only survivor.

Takeaway: Ridley killed Samus’ parents and destroyed her home.

Samus’ upbringing was placed in the hands (talons?) of two of the Chozo, Old Bird and Gray Voice. To make sure that Samus could survive on the Chozo homeworld of Zebes, Gray Voice spliced some of his genes into Samus’ DNA, making her part-Chozo.

When Samus was only a teenager, the Chozo were betrayed by their supercomputer, Mother Brain. Mother Brain summoned Ridley’s Space Pirates to Zebes, lowering the planet’s defenses in return for the Space Pirates’ allegiance.

Samus was only able to escape the Space Pirate siege because Gray Voice sacrificed himself to get her off Zebes.

Takeaway: Ridley killed Samus’ adopted parent, and destroyed her home AGAIN.

Years later, Samus returned to Zebes as a seasoned warrior. Ridley and Mother Brain were trying to harness the power of Metroids - strange creatures created by the Chozo to be an ultimate weapon against the deadliest creatures in the galaxy. Samus triumphed.

Takeaway: Samus blew up the Space Pirate base, blew up the Ridley’s flagship, blew up Mother Brain, blew up Ridley, and blew up a robot copy Ridley had made of himself.

What was left of Ridley was recovered by surviving space pirates, who turned him into a cybernetic monstrosity. Although Ridley never speaks in games, logs written by Space Pirates indicated that he was brilliant, cunning, and cruel, with a sadistic sense of humor. He fought Samus several times while trying to obtain a powerful substance called Phazon, and eventually fought her with a Phazon-enhanced body. Samus triumphed.

Takeaway: Samus blew up Ridley again and again, regardless of what he did to enhance his body.

When trying to eliminate the threat of Metroids once and for all by wiping out a planet infested with them, Samus came across a newly-hatched “baby” Metroid that imprinted upon her as if she was its mother. Feeling compassion, she spared it… and then Ridley tried to kidnap it, but was stopped by Samus.

And then, as soon as she let down her guard, Ridley returned and kidnapped the baby Metroid. He took it back to Zebes, where Mother Brain had been repaired. Samus was able to defeat them again, but the baby Metroid was killed in the battle, sacrificing itself to save Samus. Samus destroyed Zebes.

Takeaway: Ridley kidnapped a baby Metroid that saw Samus as its mother, leading to its death. Samus blew up Ridley again, and then blew up the entire planet he was on.

Ridley finally showed up in Smash.

Things I like: those pieces of fanart that depict pokemon trainers as sinister, all-powerful individuals by utilizing hard shadows and surrounding them with very strong, intimidating pokemon
