Starting a new Yautja drawing! This one I think I am going to fully colour when I post the finished piece?

It's my rendition of Machiko Noguchi's biggest head ache 😅

It occurred to me that I'd never actually drawn these two together, so I decided fixing that would be a good way to end Pride Month.

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Another thing you’ve got me wondering about: since the yautja have a code of honour they follow, how would Cousin see the Asari Justicars? What would his interactions with Samara be like?

Yautja respect justicars in the way that they respect any dangerous and worthy prey, as well as some additional nod towards having a strict code, since that is something that a Hunter would understand. That being said, the specifics of these codes basically make it so that killing each other is the desired result. As Justicars make a point to avoid curiosity over the reasons why someone would do something considered unjust, no amount of detailing of Yautja ritual (or the fact that their prey is limited entirely to people who can fight back) would ever convince a Justicar not to basically kill-on-sight. To be completely fair to them, that is a pretty smart assessment of any situation when facing a Yautja Hunter.

Knowing that Justicars are going to try and kill them immediately makes them one of those ‘folks that can fight back’, and the result is also Kill-on-Sight for a Hunter to a Justicar.

I heard it was mermay so here is my humble contribution, it’s Maglor of course 😌
