Look, if someone wants to buy me a suit of armour, I’ll test the hell out of it. But until then, here’s some theory!

As always, more content, tutorials, etc. over on Patreon

There's wholesome ships and there's toxic ships, but I'd like to coin 'sodium chloride ships', where the individuals involved are both horrible and dangerous people, but somehow being together renders them surprisingly well-adjusted (if a little salty).

The opposite of this is a 'coke and mentos' dynamic, where the two people are generally chill and likeable but being around each other makes them both wild and chaotic.

Here's the breakdown:

Reasons for new...

...'mechs getting invented in Battletech (incomplete list):

  • We invented a new gun and it doesn't actually fit on anything we currently have, so we need a new 'mech to go with it.
  • Situation: there are five 'mechs competing to cover a certain role. "Let's make a 'mech dedicated to perfectly covering that role!" Situation: there are six 'mechs competing to cover a certain role.
  • Oh boy, we (traded for/scavenged/were conquered but got access to/simply stole/etc.) Clan tech, let's see what we can make with this stuff!
  • Hey, you know [attempted horrible prototype 'mech]? Let's make that, but better this time.
  • Hey, you know [perfectly functional 'mech made by another company]? We could totally [add/subtract] like, a quarter-ton of armor, change up the name, bam, our own new 'mech.
  • We've got a war on our hands, a tractor factory, several thousand tons of metal for prototypes and a dream.
  • We are running low on our stock of [good 'mech], let's build something that's about roughly kind of decent enough to pad out the numbers.
  • My uncle works for [state army] and he said I can build all the BattleMechs I want, so there.
  • We made a Superheavy 'mech! A Size 5! A titan of war! Yes it's very practical and actually worth the trouble it takes to deploy it instead of just about twelve regular-sized 'mechs, really, I pinky promise it :)
  • You see Perry the Platypus, when I was a young boy in Gimmelshtump, the infantrymen would always bully me. Every day they launched their little rockets at me and stole my lunch money and said, "oh, there goes the 'mechjock, there goes the tin can brigade!" And when I stomped on them they would make the least satisfying sounds- you know how, like, with leaves, you always except a very nice sort of crunch but sometimes it's just like a- a- [platypus sound] -yes, exactly, words right out of my mouth! Anyways, it was like that. Now, with my Infantry Obliteratinator 3,151,000, it is I, Perry the Platypus, who will bully every infantryman in the pan-Successor-State Area!

[I.D.: 2 pictures of a tiger swimming in a muddy body of water. The first picture is of the whole tiger with its head and back out of the water; frogs can be seen on the tiger’s back and in the water. The second picture is a close up of the tiger’s back showing 3 of the frogs. /End ID]

DEATH FROM ABOVE!

The last game of BatteTech I played was full of players attacking each other with Death From Above's and it was amazing! I just had to make some artwork of the maneuver XD

Admittedly this one has been on the back burner for months now. I jumped back into this piece thanks to my excitement for MW5 Clans. I was still unsure what to do for a color pallet until I learned of Rhonda Snord and her custom Highlander. With her pink paint, speakers and "heavy metal" painted on the gauss rifle, I knew what I had to do >:3

@headspacedad Is this true? Because I love the concept of bunnies practically flipping the bird

this is TRUE!

Rabbits rely on body language for the majority of their communication.  They also rely on manners in a way that would make the Heian Era aristocrats look uncultured.  And you don’t get manner dictates like that without ALSO knowing how to be passive-aggressive with them. 

Rabbit flops are super vulnerable for a bunny.  Their stomachs are exposed and they’re in a position that means if danger shows up they have to waste precious seconds getting up before they can sprint for safety.  A rabbit flop means both ‘I’m so happy I can’t contain it’ and ‘I feel so safe I am going to be vulnerable and really let go’.  Rabbit owners love seeing it.  It means that your bun really does feel that safe around you.  It’s a pretty high compliment from an animal that knows everyone’s out to kill them.

However -

it can also be used passive aggressively in the ‘you mean so little to me you’re not even worth acknowledging as existing’.  It’s right on the same level as walking into a room and greeting everyone but one person.  An enemy rabbit would be a threat.  This rabbit?  This rabbit isn’t even important enough to be a threat.  They’re a nobunny and so I will flop because there is nothing in the area worthy enough to bother being aware of.

To humans it can look very much the same but trust me, the bunnies know exactly which is which.
