Oldhammer just keeps winning with the prophesied return of Prince Yriel of Iyanden, bug-eye Farseer update, plasticized Forge World Corsair wings and the long awaited refresh of the even more long-serving Vyper. Great accompaniment to the previously released Voidscarred.

I don't have any particular criticism for any particular Eldar model. I hope their fans appreciate them.

Vyper (and Starfang)

I've been sitting on this for too long but HERE IT IS NOW. And I've also come here to YAP!! Strap yourselves in. I'll try to be short and coherent. -This started off as me drawing StarFang in some asoiaf au, and in a way it can be viewed as that too, although my view of it has changed and I see it more vague and it can be slotted in the original verse too. In that asoiaf au, "Layla" is a Dayne/Targaryen and Beowulf is from a smaller house I am yet to name, who were famed blacksmiths prior to Aegon's conquest. During a joust, she refused to give her favor to the man she was betrothed to and instead gave it to Beowulf, who went to unhorse her betrothed and everyone else basically, declaring her his Starborne Queen.

Besides that, I do have to say that I am genuinely so proud of their overall story and how intertwined they've become. They really give me so much inspiration and the need to keep working on my world of Maii'ard and I am also so thankful to every single one of you who have expressed any amount of interest or love for Maii'ard or StarFang. Thank you! With that I'll finish my yap...for now.

Random rambling:

The Ream-Ward should've been Fenris' second gift.

I hear comments about "Hawke's awful gifts", but the Blade of Mercy is the only one I really don't cope with. I mean, the thing is a token of "great service for the Imperium", and, considering all the slavers and blood mages Fenris killed, it wouldn't be underserved – and I also think it is totally plausible of him to wield the thing solely "for the irony" of it.

Still, it doesn't sit right with me, he's just a potato. He deserves something better.

The Ream-Ward (patch 1.4 removed it from the game – I'm using the unobtainable items fix mod) shares the same appearance of the Starfang from DA:O. It's made of meteor ore! It's etched with blue glowing markings! It is a Fenris blade for Fenris! And I think that's cute. :3

That's all, thank you for coming to my Spitecast.

(PS: the room glows in an extra intense blue tone whenever he uses the Spirit Pulse while holding this sword.

PPS: also, idk if there's a reference or specific meaning to this name I'm missing, but, with only Mrs. and Mr. Merriam Webster for reference, "ream a ward" as in "pluck/squeeze the fuck off a lock ridge" pretty much fits "ripping the heart out of people's chest".)

🦴 Lucien West (Fortnite) headcanons!

Warnings: none, I think. Might be OOC... Info: These are a little corny and not pieced together as smoothly as I'd wanted... Also they're in college (or just leaving senior year of highschool) here, I'm not sure what canon has confirmed, but I'm comfortable assuming they're at least 18 with the information I do know.

Here's my first official attempt at writing for the first time in several years! I hope it's not too bad, and that you can excuse details I might get totally wrong- Feel free to offer criticism, as long as its productive! 🪶

LUCIEN WHO...

Lucien who’s intimidating until he smiles —

Calculating amber eyes seemingly sizing you up, uncertainty keeping you in place, until his expression spreads into a sincere smile. So warm and genuine you can’t help but return it with one of your own.

Lucien who prefers the outdoors —

Especially when it’s a cool kind of muggy… Where fog just barely dusts the edges of the horizon (as far as you can see, anyways) and a breeze that has you acutely aware of the humidity; lowering the feels-like temp to something more appropriate for the early fall season.

Lucien who always finds a way to include Louie —

Carrying the plush wolf with him on his back, setting it up on the back couch cushions for movie nights, keeping it nearby while he studies to keep himself calm and motivated. Fidgets with the ears if he’s idle too long, restlessness a common occurrence for him. He will lend it to you to help you sleep if you ask, with the addition of himself. He doesn’t sleep without Louie, and Louie doesn’t sleep without him.

Lucien who listens to Weezer —

That’s it, that’s the post. Just kidding… like the rest of the group, he loves his music. And he loves to share it, an ideal hangout would definitely include sharing headphones and just vibing. Maybe surprising to some, but on top of the many, many Starfang concerts he’s attended with his friends, he also enjoys artists like Weezer, Bowling For Soup, and ABBA.

Lucien who tried to learn guitar —

Spent a good few months putting in a genuine effort, but ended up giving the guitar he’d gotten to Helsie. He couldn’t wrap his head around chords and the tab sheets he was practicing from… always had Louie as his audience. Now he’s perfectly content sitting with Helsie while she strums idle patterns over the strings.

Lucien who is a walking heater —

Lucien naturally runs on the warmer side, perfect for clinging to at night, especially in the colder seasons… not so much in the summer, however. This man is the cuddliest ever, and took up eating popsicles in the hopes it’d cool him down enough to continue having you casually wrapped around him in your shared downtime.

Lucien who insists on doing the cooking and snack prep for hangouts —

While Helsie is likely the most qualified for this, being extraordinary in her position as a bobarista, Lucien won’t have it. He says it’s because she shouldn’t have to do more of the same she does for work, but he actually just likes seeing everyone excited for snacks (everyone knows). Pins his hair up in an attempt to keep it out of the food, but… somehow at least one strand always ends up in someone’s share. It’s become a game of sorts, like pulling straws. Victim of Lucien’s hair is exempt from any after-hangout clean up.

Lucien who chit-chats when he can’t sleep —

Everyone has nights where they just can’t seem to get to sleep, and with how restless Lucien can be, it happens more than just occasionally. It’s hard not to notice the way his breathing never evens out as it fans across the back of your neck, and the way he’s fidgeting with the hem of your his shirt. It doesn’t take long after the fidgeting starts for him to offer up quiet conversation.

Lucien who worries —

He cares a lot for his family, for you, and for everyone’s future. Keeps the groups hunting gear properly stored and maintained — with the exception of Joni’s… she’s not comfortable with the idea of swapping her things around. The club trusts each other with their lives, but they still have personal boundaries. Lucien keeps you especially updated on the maintenance that goes into the gear, as well as every safety precaution he could cram into the couple hours you spend brushing up. Stifling at times, but he does mean well.

Lucien who is reserved —

As much time as he spends expressing his concern for the club members, he never seems to give himself that same grace. It doesn’t seem to be out of a lack of respect for himself, but rather an excess amount of respect for his friends. He struggles with the idea of giving anyone else his own burdens, and it takes time to get him to open up about certain things. Be patient with him and he’ll appreciate it.

NOTES:

Feedback is greatly appreciated! And I don't just mean tips for me personally... Send me your own headcanons, my asks are open! I want to get a feel for how the community characterizes him so I can improve :) Also... I want friends. 🪶
