Mfw I still can’t get over the fact a JRPG that came out in fucking 2010 helped me get over depression

arctic talon
#

Persona 3 portable

#

Lol

#

The whole “what does it mean to live” crap stuck with me

#

And it made me reconsider a lot of stuff

green loom
#

I wish I had something comical like that happen to me

arctic talon
#

I still think it’s funny as hell

#

I’m not sure why that specific thing did it

crystal forum
#

games that make you question life are both something i hate and something i love

#

like SOMA

#

god that game fucked me up

green loom
#

They have no effect on me since I'm depressed anyway

arctic talon
#

The persona 3 main character being depressed helps since his pov is always painted by that

celest dome
#

My mind is just wired on fatalism, world is better if things don't have a reason to happen

arctic talon
#

~~also the fact you can answer “I don’t care” to a bunch of important things for like the first quarter of the game is hilarious ~~

crystal forum
#

i came to the conclusion that as long as i have one overarching goal in life i'm fine

#

idk why people dont realize they have like 70 years on this mortal coil to do some really cool shit

arctic talon
#

I’m not sure why persona 3 of all games made me introspective of myself but I’m glad it did

crystal forum

hey man everybody's got their own road to follow in life

Monarchism can technically inhabit any place on the left vs right scale, like you could have a socialist monarchy.

The entire he saw wh 40k and was like ‘yeah this is a good idea I can do this better’

storm jungle

too meta

#

honestly you joke

dusk patrol
storm jungle

but the latest Siege books do this sort of time-meta bullshit lol

dusk patrol
#

Robo grippers

storm jungle
#

yeah like uh

#

while i still dont get it

#

Oll and John literally have to tie a red thread

#

so their PAST SELVES

#

can find their way to the fucking Emperor

#

and so on

rose thorn
#

What

storm jungle
#

lmao

#

ITS FUCKING STUPID

dusk patrol
#

Tbf that’s by far some of the more basic level time travel stuff that happens

storm jungle
#

Eternal can explain it better prob

dusk patrol
#

But yeah it’s confusing

#

The gist is that though

#

The found a thread which led the to the Emperor

#

And then they had to go lay the thread later

rose thorn
#

The empeorr created the entire age of shitmar meme

dusk patrol
#

So their past selves could find it

rose thorn
dusk patrol
#

Time travel

celest dome
dusk patrol
#

If they don’t do the action in the future then it didn’t happen in the past

rose thorn
#

Doenst time travel and 40k not fucking mix

dusk patrol
#

There’s always been some stuff for 40k

#

With the warp

celest dome
#

40k has a couple of ways to time travel

storm jungle
#

Yeah like

#

its just fucking nonsense

#

so ignore it

dusk patrol
#

It’s just not consistent intentionally

rose thorn
#

Ordo chronos remove them selves from the time line every Tuesday

dusk patrol
#

There’s no sure way to do it

#

It’s random and unpredictable

#

Orikan has the most consistent one and his is very limited

rose thorn
#

This sounds like peak ‘went too long’ syndrome

dusk patrol
#

It worked for me but it could have been shorter yeah

I think it wants to say maid outfit

crystal forum
#

what's the difference

dusk patrol
#

This is some other pieces. Bottom is fanart

crystal forum
#

is that mark 3

storm jungle
#

no its Primaris armor

dusk patrol
#

Yeah I believe with some Mk 2 competents

storm jungle
#

damn it

dusk patrol
#

Hehe

crystal forum
#

they use mark 2???

dusk patrol
#

But yes the middle one is primaris

dusk patrol
#

Red Talons before they were a chapter

crystal forum
#

why does the tech chapter use shitty armour

dusk patrol
#

Preference, and also they tended to upgrade it

#

MkII and III had benefits

storm jungle
#

Older doesnt mean shitty yeah

dusk patrol
#

Amadeus DuCaine used his MkI armor still hundreds of years into the GC

#

He just upgraded it

#

Now that was more a luxury he probably had since he was a Lord Commander of a legion

#

Also this art is by far my favorite depiction of Fulgrim vs Ferrus

crystal forum
#

i thought mark 2 was bad and mark 3 was the improvement

dusk patrol
#

Rare artist who realizes that Ferrus used his fists when he fought

dusk patrol
#

MkII and III had more armor typically it’s said

#

But weren’t as agile

#

It was a user preference thing

crystal forum
#

god i wish mark 2 was used more

#

the idea of a bare bones first version of a space marine armour

dusk patrol
#

In general the whole progression of armor and stuff is very well done I think

crystal forum
#

yeah

dusk patrol
#

There’s a very interesting history for why stuff happened, even Mk.X clearly builds on previous designs

crystal forum
#

it's space marines so they put the effort

dusk patrol
#

I get why people don’t love it but it’s well done

#

Reminds me of Lucas showing the progression of Republic ships and stuff into what would become the Empire

crystal forum
#

i dislike the helmets and the fact that mark 7 wasn't used during the heresy to make people buy expensive models

#

but the armour itself is cool

#

mark 3 looks so blunt

young pecan
#

Keep time travel shenanigans contained in a side series where a daemon of Tzeentch is just getting silly

crystal forum
#

i joke about ferrus manus a lot but i think it would be really cool if he came back and had actual story for once

storm jungle
#

well he does in the last second book

#

and talks with Sanguinius for a bit

#

(:

green loom
#

He doesn't fancy being a trophy

storm jungle
#

Best line honestly

#

literally just "Hey can you get my skull back."

green loom
#

"No"

crystal forum
#

so is this 40k keeping the door open or not

#

i just hope he wont be the last primarch to come back in like 7 years

dusk patrol
#

It’s always been a thing that he might

#

This is the general gist

#

Idk, it depends on how they do it for me

#

I enjoy the idea of a Revenant Ferrus who doesn’t really interact with anyone but just kinda shows up

#

I feel like the Imperium needs more dudes like that, similar to the Sanguinor, who can fight big threats and “lose” or whatever without actually being gone

crystal forum
#

i want him to work with cawl because it would be cool

dusk patrol
#

I don’t really want him to actually be back back

#

But idk, if they did it well I wouldn’t mind

#

I doubt there’s much danger of him coming back soon anyways

crystal forum
#

if GW are going to bring them all back they better start ramping it up

dusk patrol
#

He’s definitely at the end of the list of dudes who might

dusk patrol
#

They had a plan for 5 years between each loyalist at least

crystal forum
#

for fuck's sake

dusk patrol
#

And they’re sticking to that

#

It lets it still feel special and lets them make it something significant

#

They’ve talked about how they’re aware of the issue of bringing them all back

crystal forum
#

is it an issue???

#

if they want 40k to be superhero gasm just do primarch shit

dusk patrol
#

It is if they just bring them all back at once and don’t do it right

#

As is, primarchs don’t do a lot in the main setting tbh, Guilliman often isn’t involved with major arcs beyond a surface level

#

The Lion hasn’t done a ton since he got back

crystal forum
#

yeah

#

i was about to say nobody cares about the lion anymore

dusk patrol
#

I don’t think that’s true it’s just they’re waiting for more

#

We don’t need insane stuff to happen every month

crystal forum
#

I do

dusk patrol
#

They’re being deliberate with the new story stuff and I’m very ok with that

crystal forum
#

my zoomer brain needs stimulating

#

GW needs to adapt

dusk patrol
#

Someone does

crystal forum
#

im calling it again, if GW suddenly becomes popular due to amazon series they'll be so unprepared for the wave of people

arctic talon
#

They’ll simply ignore them

crystal forum
#

GW is an enigma i swear

arctic talon
#

GW’s main concern is people who buy the plastic toys

#

So unless their entire storefront explodes from the quantity of people

rose thorn
#

In like 8 months gw will return to their cave to carve plastic models

rocky gale
#

Yea like the worst that happens is there's so many new people interested in GW that their products sell out, which would just makes GW happy.

#

so if the rogue trader video game is correct its possible for someone to instantly become a daemon or at least become a way for one to get into the real space

storm jungle
#

Basically you need to do atrocity after atrocity

#

the worse it usually is and more appeals to your god the better

#

sometimes it can be short sometimes takes forever lol

rocky gale
#

Unless you're talking about the dude in the intro, except he wasn't turned into a Daemon, he was just turned into a Chaos Spawn.

oh i mean in this nurgle infested fallen black ship you see a vision of one of the guards just instantly explode into a plaugebearer

Wait

Nvm I’m thinking about something else

crystal forum
#

you wouldn't download a car

rose thorn
#

Yea all books are physical but the lore is online

#

They post the lore because AOS lore actually matters

rocky gale
#

I couldn't find it in any of the Chronicles

#

Unless I'm just being dumb

#

Which is likely

rose thorn
#

Aren’t the chronically the lore

rocky gale
#

They're like short stories

rose thorn

Oh my bad

There's ones about Astreia, but I can't find anything about what they were talking about

If you want to collect them I’d just Wiay

Mad King Rises is book 4

Whats the difference between age of sigmar and fantasy?

arctic talon
#

Generally factions that vaguely resemble the older fantasy factions

#

Are under the cities of sigmar

#

Or other groups in chaos/death/destruction

queen laurel
#

i can invite you in a Krieg subreddit if you want

arctic talon
#

pretty grounded

#

they have spears and shields along with a banner

#

The wood elf equivelent in AoS

#

look like this

queen laurel
#

they are quite literally

#

Wood Elves

arctic talon
#

The older fantasy aesthetic of wood elves still exist

#

but they're tied to the cities of sigmar as an elven faction called "Wanderers"

queen laurel
#

It's literally just a hodgepodge of multiple factions working together

#

that's where the lazy part comes in

arctic talon
#

Cities of Sigmar is very cool conceptually

queen laurel
#

But the it's also not a bad idea

arctic talon
#

except its mostly old minis reused

queen laurel
#

It can work most of the time I think

arctic talon
#

but GW has started updating them

#

but very cool from a lore perspective

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Its even funnier that there's a ton of units mentioned

#

in books

#

that don't show up on the tabletop for cities of sigmar

@queen laurel why did the leman russ cross the road

the bow

#

ect.

crystal forum
#

you didnt respond

#

i wanted to make sure you saw the message

queen laurel
#

Fine why did the Leman russ cross the road

crystal forum
#

to get in my wallet

#

@queen laurel is it funny

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

ok thank you

queen laurel
#

most of the time it stays in the high fantasy aspect

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

Lower fantasy stuff does still exist

#

stuff like this

#

and this

#

The mix is what makes me enjoy the setting so much

#

there's like Farmer Gav who had his crops fail and has had to deal with too many taxes

queen laurel
#

but after warming up to them

arctic talon
#

along side someone who's killed a demi god and is wearing its skin as armor

queen laurel
#

Just realized how flawed old worl orcs were

#

mainly the fact that while the characters of the old world orcs are cool

#

the entire army is painfully just generic brutes

arctic talon
#

Stuff like undead empires that function pretty much just like empires run by real people

#

is also facinating

queen laurel
#

At least with the war clans you can have some variety

arctic talon
#

tbh Orcs in WHFB suffered from lack of any real development

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Agreed

#

grimgor, Wurrzag

queen laurel
#

Azhag

#

Skarsnik

#

Grom

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

what made greenskins so interesting were their big characters

#

not so much the faction as a whole who were

#

very under developed

#

Except like Black Orcs

#

Black Orcs got a lot of lore

#

about how they were made

crystal forum
#

wtf is a black orc

arctic talon
#

Chaos Dwarf experiment to make better Orc slaves

#

It worked

#

way too well

crystal forum
#

wait

#

WAIT

arctic talon
#

the result were Orcs who were smarter, tougher, stronger

#

ect.

crystal forum
#

woah woah woah

arctic talon
#

And they rebelled

crystal forum
#

no no no

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

dont tell the black orcs were created to be slavss

queen laurel
#

They have darker skin

crystal forum
#

YOU CANNOT SAY THAT

queen laurel
#

They are not as fun as a normal orc

#

They're basically killjoys and only want to kill

crystal forum
#

are orcs as great as orks

arctic talon
#

tbh they're very cool

#

from a lore perspective

queen laurel
#

warhammer 40K orks beat fantasy

arctic talon
#

Orcs are a lot less comedic in WHF

queen laurel
#

yeah

arctic talon
#

and a lot more played straight

queen laurel
#

They are brutal

#

and a lot more savage

arctic talon
#

slapstick violence is like

#

their main form of comedy

queen laurel
#

With stuff like black orcs being a good example

arctic talon
#

Like Grimgor tore 3 guys in half

#

because they didn't find someone for him to smash

queen laurel
#

those guys literally find no joy than fighting

queen laurel
#

but also found that sweet spot of making them absolutely horrifying

#

And narratively they have pretty good characters too

arctic talon
#

Yeah the comedic factor of green skins in WHF Is like

#

Mostly goblins

queen laurel
#

Then you add the black orcs

#

Which are just so devoid of joy unless they are fighting they will literally kill anything near them

#

They are more on the chaotic evil side of the spectrum unlike the 40k orks chaotic neutral

#

hell in fantasy

arctic talon
#

AoS Orcs got a lot more comedy side tbh

#

Stuff like putting up fake chaos effigies

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

to attract stormcast and lizardmen

queen laurel
#

100%

#

aos

#

Improved orcs

#

got three choices for what you want

#

you want to brute force your way ?

#

iron jawz

#

you want to be sneaky?

Krule boyz

#

You want to be so devoid of thinking you just throw everything at the enemy?

bone Splitterz

arctic talon
#

violence

queen laurel
#

fantasy orcs were just like

#

Charge them

#

Kill them

#

rinse repeat

bold wren
#

I just realized things aren't as advanced in 40k not for sake of them being shitty, but for the sake of control.

#

It isn't fear that drives the Imperium of Man to view technology like that, but control.

#

I mean there is fear of not having control maybe.

crystal forum
#

you just countered your own point

rose thorn
#

in 40k or the imperium or gw or wha

bold wren
#

That's how counter arguments work, counter points are common in those even if your argument might be valid.

bold wren
#

I mean they're advanced, but with how they view advancement it seems like a means of control less then fear of technology.

crystal forum
#

you're not supposed to literally counter your own point. you're supposed to prove why the counter argument is wrong

#

otherwise you're doing some sort of postmodern wishy washy bullshit where you're not making a point at all

#

mental masturbation, that's the word

rose thorn
#

im a dumbass i didnt pick a trope to base my chapter off of

storm jungle
#

#

because their gimmicks are not that complex, neither is their history

#

"Mortifactors? Oh we are just cannibals lmao"

#

"Flesh Tearers? Oh we are just loyalist world eaters lmao"

#

"Black Templars? Oh we are just loyalist word bearers lmao"

"Haha black templars being so racist to aliens is funny"

Cue them literally murdering an entire Primaris reinforcement + a Custodian

💀

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

^

#

When you look at it without the lens most main chapters are INCREDIBLY basic.

#

The Fists are generic as fuck yet everyone (okay kinda) loves them.

rose thorn
#

what the fuck od i like

#

bugs, warhammer, uh

#

super heores

storm jungle
#

A Chapter that took part in the Tyrannic Wars, has a big champion/hero culture due to Macraggian influence and also has a good/big array of assault-bike formations led by Chapter Champions.

#

rose thorn
#

storm jungle

"And their Primarch is named Corvus Corax"

rose thorn

rose thorn
#

but yea

#

iron hands leader of the iron hands

storm jungle
#

You can tell they came up with that shit in a pub

rose thorn
#

but iron hand's iron hands loved iron hand's iron hands

storm jungle
#

AAA-

#

but yeah the point is dont overthink it

#

just do it

#

sometimes the most basic ideas are the coolest

#

When Stan Lee introduced the idea of Spiderman to his boss he also said that was a stupid ass idea

#

that tells you something doesnt it lmao

dusk patrol
#

Its what their symbol is based off.

#

That's why its an old medieval gauntlet.

#

And not like, an actual mechanical hand or whatever

#

Irl that is

#

In lore, the Medusans called Ferrus "Iron Hands" during his early life and he just used it for his legion.

#

But yeah Gotz the Iron Hand is one of the core inspirations for the name of the Iron Hands and some of their symbology irl.

crisp heath
#

I’m sure this is a writing thing but I can’t for the life of me tell if Magnus is actually supposed to be smart or not

#

I’m starting to think the Magnus did everything wrong crowd ain’t unfounded

queen laurel
#

But he gets slammed harder than a basketball ring when Shaq dunks

crisp heath
#

“Oh man look how powerful character x is! Gonna make character Y look even stronger when he beats X”

balmy cliff
#

Any lore nerds know how big a tyranid group needs to be to interfere with psykers?

#

Apparently there is a "void within the hive Sefoni cannot touch" and she asks us to keep it away from her

arctic talon
#

Of the variety for invasion

#

Nids literally "smother" out the warp so to speak

balmy cliff
#

Is it common for Chaos to have ways of interfering with psyker clairvoyance?

arctic talon
#

with how many souls there are

arctic talon
#

Psykers learn anti psyker techniques

#

if the Moebian 6th had psykers

balmy cliff
#

I am aware of tampering with warp currents, but what about straight up voids?

arctic talon
#

it can happen

#

Its harder

#

but like

#

making some sort of "blank" zone

#

where you can't see in is possible

balmy cliff
#

does chaos use blanks? It seems like they would disdain them

arctic talon
#

yeah

crisp heath
#

Chaos doesnt utilize blanks as far as i know. Theyre the polar opposite to demons/warp corruption.
Its possible theres a powerful enough blank, even though a blank that creates a null zone strong enough to be felt from far away is one in a couple billions.
Another possibility are necron pylons.

dusk patrol
#

They do

crisp heath
#

Blanks cant be corrupted as they have no soul so to speak. Where did you read about Chaos blanks? Im curious as i didnt stumble over them so far in the lore

young pecan
coarse pumice
#

What abilities changed/is new?

dusk patrol
#

Stuff like this

#

And also Abaddon has utilized xenos blanks to remove the powers of a grey knight he has captured

#

It isn’t common but they can and do use them

bold wren
#

Killing the Emperor as someone who isn't powerful enough?

#

Are you trying to get laughed at by custodes who kicked your ass for thinking you could do that.

#

I understand Horus damaging the Emperor and putting him on the throne to never die. To constant keep reviving constantly from his power of perpetual. The God Emperor himself is a mutant.

shadow plover
#

Well he is a psyker so that's a given

dusk patrol
#

But if he could have it’s hard to say

#

He didn’t obviously and it was always a long shot

bold wren
#

Perpetuals aren't psykers always I do believe.

crisp heath
#

I gotta admit i didnt know about him.
But BL is woefully inconsistent. Blanks cant be posessed but this powerful blank can. Thats weird but luckily not the rule ^^

bold wren
#

Vulkan sure as hell isn't a psyker

#

The Emperor though was gifted as a psyker which made him even more superior for a perpetual.

#

Don't get me started on Malacador.

celest dome
bold wren
#

There is many perpetuals still alive.

#

The Emperor cannot die he just is trapped to his purpose on the throne.

#

Well not at least in a traditional way it's not possible unless you use a specific spear.

dusk patrol
#

There’s not perpetuals still alive that were aware of

#

There’s a handful

bold wren
#

They can survive being disintegrated even.

#

There is only one spear that is known to outright kill them, or a psyker trapping them.

celest dome
bold wren
#

Vulkan definitely is alive they tortured him but he was later saved.

#

He died over and over again before he was later saved.

#

At least chaos did

dusk patrol
#

A handful are alive

bold wren
#

A handful isn't a lot.

celest dome
#

And Gramaticus is in Eldar hands

celest dome
bold wren
#

They probably are torturing him to say the least.

#

I mean perpetuals are just immortals that cannot die unless you are a psyker, or used fulgurite a spear.

#

The Emperor produced a spear to kill perpetuals.

#

So to say the least he killed several.

#

There is a handful of weapons we don't know that could keep them permanently.

#

The Emperor definitely took xenos tech to make such a spear.

dusk patrol
celest dome
#

I don't think Gramaticus is being tortured by the Eldar

bold wren
#

I mean there is overpowered technology in 40k it's just overlooked.

#

I mean pre-heresy tech was still pretty powerful, but many of said patterns have been lost.

shadow plover
bold wren
#

I mean the Imperium sometimes finds remnants and remakes the technology but it takes several centuries.

dusk patrol
#

Grammticus’s status isn’t known as of the end and the death

bold wren
#

Death is nothing to a perpetual.

#

Wonder where he regenerated is the real question.

#

So the Eldar do know how to make people immortal?

#

Or is it just a random chance you become a perpetual like psykers.

#

Ogryns aren't random.

arctic talon
bold wren
#

Perpetuals

arctic talon
#

Don’t think so?

#

Eldar used to just reincarnate

#

But uh

#

lmao

bold wren
#

They turned Grammaticus into a perpetual

arctic talon
#

Well idk

bold wren
#

At least a cabal did.

arctic talon
#

It hasn’t been shown to been like

#

Easily doable by them

bold wren
#

It was probably a random chance when you die sometimes you become one or your abilities activate

#

I don't know maybe when you die that's when people find out.

#

I mean it doesn't sound crazy.

celest dome
#

The Cabal aren't the Eldar, they had tech that surpasses the one from the Eldar

arctic talon
#

Yeah the cabal was like

#

Multiple xenos species

celest dome
#

Most likely made by the Old One for a specific objective

bold wren
#

Maybe to inhabit their body as a godly body.

#

Perpetuals being immortal and all that shit.

#

But the cabals take in perpetuals.

#

So I wonder what they do with said perpetuals.

celest dome
#

It might be a case of genetic seeding, but from what we've seen of the Cabal's action they don't seem to be doing that primarly

bold wren
#

But old one's are just giant frogs.

#

Gay frogs even?

storm jungle
#

???

arctic talon
#

In AoS they’re frogs(probably)

#

In 40k it’s unclear

bold wren
#

But old ones just sounds Eldritch.

#

For all we know they could just be a dragon octopus.

storm jungle
#

Why does that matter lol

arctic talon
#

Kruber was correct in the chaos wastes

#

It was really big frogs

storm jungle
#

lmao

bold wren
#

Frogs are cool.

arctic talon
#

I love hearing Saltz’s reaction

#

To the frogs voicelines

storm jungle
#

even the writers were like

#

"Yeah super-frogs is stupid we are mocking it"

bold wren
#

Just write them like Eldritch entities

arctic talon
#

Tbf it’s stupid and hilarious

bold wren
#

At that point

arctic talon
#

The old ones in fantasy/AoS

#

Have never like

#

Really fully manifested

#

Only reason everyone calls them frogs is bcs the slann

bold wren
#

Reminds me of cthulhu he is stupid in description

arctic talon
#

Are said to be made in the image of them

queen laurel
bold wren
#

A dragon octopus whatever that is.

storm jungle
#

Cthulu has been basically ruined by popular exposure through the public.

#

so not really a good comparison lol

#

and again, why does this matter

bold wren
#

Because I find it interesting.

storm jungle
#

I mean theres no point to it

#

who cares what they look like

bold wren
#

I mean I do because it looks cool.

arctic talon
#

We’re never gona see them

#

Tbh

storm jungle
#

^

#

best you'll get is a brief description

#

it doesnt matter

bold wren
#

I mean but that is lame.

storm jungle
#

not everything has to be explained

arctic talon
#

I mean I’d assume whatever they look like it’s vaguely like the slann

bold wren
#

I like hearing the descriptions from people.

arctic talon
#

We’ve seen slaanesh’s chained down form in AoS

bold wren
#

I mean to be honest can appear as anything.

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

and it's easy to understand why

bold wren
#

Slaneesh is anything and anyone they want to be.

arctic talon
#

This is most likely the form slaanesh prefers

#

Seeing as they looked like this

#

When the elven gods jumped them

#

And then mugged them for elven souls

storm jungle
#

My homie got disemboweled

bold wren
#

Until Slaneesh got all the Eldar souls.

#

For themselves

storm jungle
#

that is a seperate universe

#

so no

arctic talon
#

That’s in 40k

#

Kerellian statistically speaking ended up in slaanesh

#

So they prolly got reincarnated

#

In one of the elven gods experiments

storm jungle
#

Yeah very much a matter of chance if her soul got rescued

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

I don’t think the gods are keen on trying to force more out

#

considering what Morathi did

storm jungle
#

Morathi is basically Erebus of WHF

arctic talon
#

It’s all her fault

storm jungle
#

when you think about it shes inadvertedly entirely responsible for the rise of Nagash lol

green loom
#

Except hotter

arctic talon
#

She ruined everything

storm jungle
#

If Dark Elves didnt exist

#

Nagash wouldnt have fucking uh

storm jungle
#

interrogating those two druchii

#

and never got into necromancy

#

lmao

arctic talon
#

Lol
