Alrighty so I've been working on a little project I call Power Rangers: Aegis Rim, a long fic where the 13 Sentinels cast will go through a Power Rangers plot with elements taken from the OG game being incorporated wherever possible.

This is what I have so far, I hope you all enjoy.

The Cast:

The Original Pink Ranger, Chihiro Morimura’s team:

Juro Kurabe: Red Ranger, armed with the Aegis Blade, eventually gains a copy and uses both, making them the Aegis Blades. His Special Abilities are the (eventually Elite) Plasma Arc Fusion Cutter and Izumi Mode (has this after Izumi possesses him, loses it when Izumi leaves him).

Shu Amiguchi: Blue Ranger, armed with the Lancer Lance, after the Ida arc it gets renamed to the Hades Spear (can also become a guitar). His Special Ability is Star Power (Channels Miyuki’s support in order to make something happen, he must act “star-like” to sell the lie to Universal Control).

Iori Fuyusaka: Pink Ranger, armed with Cupid’s Bow. Her Special Ability is Plasmic Wrecker.

Keitaro Miura/BJ: Green Ranger (Before passing it to Natsuno Minami).

Tamao Kurabe (AI): Purple Ranger (Until stolen by Juro Izumi).

Miyuki Inaba: Cyan Ranger (Until passed to Tomi Kisaragi), armed with Oversized Hammer.

Takatoshi Hijiyama (AI): Navy Blue Ranger (Before he goes insane and passes it onto the current Keitaro Miura).

Juro Izumi (Kurabe): Red Ranger (Before getting amnesia). Same weapon and ability as current Juro.

Renya Gouto: Assistant, moonlights as the Silver Ranger.

The Original Red Ranger, turned temporary Purple Ranger, Juro Izumi’s Created Rangers (Rouge Units):

Megumi Yakushij: Purple Ranger (Contract Worker), armed with Rebel Pistols. Her Special Abilities are High-Energy Pulse Lasers and Piercing Multi-Lock Missiles, these abilities correspond to the Morimura pistol and the Izumi pistol respectively.

Megumi Yakushiji, after giving the Purple Ranger moniker to current loop Tamao: White Ranger with red detailing (like Ninja Steel) (Redemption Seeking Guardian), armed with Aegis Pistols. Her Special Abilities include the previous skills along with Shield Matrix.

Nenji Ogata: Orange Ranger, armed with the Hero’s Chainsaw. His Special Ability is I Die Hard (this allows him or someone of his choosing to survive an otherwise fatal attack and keep fighting, eventually getting upgraded so the person gains enhanced power once activated).

Keitaro Miura: Navy Ranger, armed with Sniper Crossbow. His Special Abilities are his Super Large Missile and Soldier, Guardian, Demon (This allows him to switch between three modes: Soldier: Increases the tactical AI of his suit, allowing him to analyse the enemy’s movements better and formulate better strategies.

Guardian: Increases the suit’s defence and warning systems, allowing him to last under more onslaught, handy because this mode also spikes enemy warning systems and makes him a huge target.

Demon: Reawakens the dormant Takatoshi AI in the suit, causing him to go into a berserker rage and tear all the enemies apart, albeit with little to no control over his own actions.

The downside is that once an ability is used, you cannot switch to a different ability without depowering for a time.)

Natsuno Minami: Green Ranger, armed with the Domination Whip. Her Special Abilities are Sprinter and Wide Range Railgun.

Tomi Kisaragi: Cyan Ranger, armed with the Toon Hammer. Her Special Ability is Double Railgun (both sides of her hammer open up to reveal two massive cannons that fire the beams).

Renya Gouto: Silver Ranger, also has a scarf, armed with Conductor’s Rapier. His Special Abilities are Interceptor, EMP Spike and Teleportation Field.

The Original Blue Ranger, Tetsuya Ida’s SIU Operatives:

Ryoko Shinonome: Graphite Ranger (Ida’s Right Hand), armed with the Loyal Traitor Daggers, after the Ida arc renames them to Atonement. Her Special Ability starts off as Summon -Sentry Guns/Androids, after the Ida arc they get replaced for Cyberattack.

Ei Sekigahara: Black Ranger (Assassin), armed with wrist watches that can: Form the B.O.X.I.N.G (Battle and Overwhelm to the Xenith with Indestructible Next-Gen) Gloves, fire Phaser shots, shoot grappling hooks, contact others, turn the wearer invisible, teleport/”time travel” and maybe more. His Special Ability is the Hurricane Rush.

Yuki Takamiya: Crimson Ranger: (Spy), armed with the Onslaught Shield. Her Special Ability is the Hawk Kick.

The former Pink Ranger, current Gold Ranger, Tsukasa Okino’s Deserters:

Tsukasa Okino: Gold Ranger (Rebel Detective) also has a cape, armed with the BFS (Big Fucking Sword). Their Special Ability is not determined yet.

Takatoshi Hijiyama: Yellow Ranger (Displaced Soldier), armed with Patriot Ax. His Special Abilities are Composite Ceramic Armour and Limiter Removal.

Also Chihiro, Kyuta, Fluffy and Miwako will be included with major roles, they may have powers at some point. Not sure if I’ll include other characters. Family members? Other students?

The Deimos.

Workers: Generic enemies, same design as in game but smaller.

Hunters: Generic enemies, they fly now.

Androids: Slightly stronger generic enemies, loyal to Ida, sometimes will aid the kaiju, sometimes won’t depending on Ida’s plans. Can fly and move on land.

The Bosses: Once a boss is beaten, weaker versions of them will join the army. If a boss has already been used, they can’t be brought back unless they have some sort of gimmick upgrade/change. (Gladiators and Hi-Quads are exempt from this rule.)

May the 4th be with you all. Have a SWAU!Keinatsu doodle with Natsuno practicing her Jedi powers (with poor BJ as a practice buddy).

With bonus comic beneath!

continuing my second playthrough of 13 sentinels: aegis rim in an attempt to do more analysis and character study. also thank you to everyone who has been replying to me about my liveblog so far!! it’s been really nice and i’m so delighted to talk about this game with people.

this time i’m yelling about:

natsuno minami (0% - 12%)

destruction mode tutorial 004 (in which i still find ways to talk about hijiyama and okino, but also miura)

megumi yakushiji (0% - 14%)

destruction mode tutorial 005

natsuno minami (0% - 12%):

i really like natsuno, and really enjoyed her route, so i'm excited to play it again. unfortunately, i have both never seen a single movie in my entire life AND have extremely poor retention for movies regardless, so a lot of the references in her route do go totally over my head.

small thing at the start of natsuno's route when she's talking with kurabe and fuyusaka. she talks about working for NASA one day, and fuyusaka comments that she needs to get better grades in science, then. but in the japanese, she actually talks about her grades in english. with how obsessed she is with all of this, being bad at science doesn't really make much sense!

i love that everyone knows about natsuno's alien/sci-fi obsession, but after she comes up with her conspiracy theory about the men in black, she immediately shows she's still grounded in reality when she talks about it just being a story, or a joke.

i have some mixed feelings about this moment with nenji busting in to the locker room, mostly for the fact that while i do believe he was genuinely trying to help, he's still disappointed when he finds natsuno fully-clothed. outside of that though, i do appreciate how he's actually a pretty observant character? noticing the men in black everywhere, already feeling wary of them... also too when he catches yakushiji later on, knowing full-well that she's done something to kisaragi, even if he doesn't know exactly what.

also, going back to what i said before about natsuno showing she's still grounded in reality: i like how when she does find BJ, she has no reservations accepting what she's seeing and trying to figure out what's going on, and is immediately convinced she needs to help him. there's something i really enjoy about her being genre-savvy in all of this, even if she's still not exactly right. i feel the same way about kurabe with his kaiju/mech obsession.

destruction mode tutorial 004:

something about rewatching this scene at the beginning with natsuno, where she talks about how no. 17 is BJ's last gift to her!!

miura is talking about how he was taught that "my primary tactic should be long-distance annihilation", and it makes me think about how back in sector 5, it sounded like it would be either him or hijiyama using no. 19—with it originally intended for hijiyama, and miura only considered as a backup in case something happens to hijiyama. hijiyama is decidedly not a character i can see being content with doing everything from a distance, although i know in the cut content his AI was apparently piloting it. with the way hijiyama is, though... i’m sure that regardless of this sentinel’s skillset, he would’ve still done anything he could’ve to protect his country. no. 12 just seems more appropriate for him, matching with his personality and that hot-tempered nature of his, where he isn’t afraid to get into a fight. (or to sacrifice himself, if it comes down to it.)

i appreciate how miura is paired with natsuno here in this scene. both because of the relationship they have, but also because of miura having a lot more experience (not that he's really piloted it) with the sentinels, and being able to explain this to natsuno.

no. 19 is definitely the right choice for miura, who feels so calm and measured when he's placed in battle like this. he's able to sit back and think more strategically about what's going on, which definitely lends itself well to the G3's skillsets. it's especially hard, again, to imagine hijiyama being in a position where he might have to pilot this sentinel. which in turn makes me wonder about the choice to have okino in no. 12 for close combat, when he even talks about how it's suicidal to get inside a mech cockpit. not to mention his personality, which i feel is more suited to a support or strategy position. (while i feel he develops the attitude of needing to work alone, and not being able to trust others, it’s not really until after the sector 4 infection incident. but despite this, i feel like he does look at himself as being the only one who can carry out certain things, so that might be part of it, too.) i wonder if it's just because no. 12 was still a first generation sentinel, and one of the first ones he designed, rather than anything else.

megumi yakushiji (0% - 14%):

yakushiji is a character that i've really struggled to be invested in. i actually like her most when she's at her most selfish and cognizant of that fact, like when she shoots fuyusaka. but in this playthrough, she's definitely a character i'm trying to get myself to like more.

that said, there's something about starting her route by placing her next to kisaragi, who has so much personality and the most distinctive voice, right from the get-go. even kisaragi's umbrella choice has personality. i know that's so much of what kisaragi addresses, too—that yakushiji has difficulty opening up and talking to others, and that's what's resulted in her being isolated. with that in mind, it makes sense that the character she has an established friendship with is kisaragi, who balances her out and also sees what she's really like at her core. (and, as always, is so forward about it in a way that yakushiji could not be!) their friendship is something that makes a lot of sense to me, even if we don't see very much of it.

god, yakushiji's route is another one of those that has such a strong opening. i love the banality of this conversation only to have a sentinel drop from the sky right in front of them. kisaragi is the most realistic character for seeing this happen and immediately being like oh i HAVE to record this. i love her so much.

rewatching this part helped confirm some things about the timeline for me. i thought juro (or at least no. 13) had also gotten infected with DD-426 at the time it was forcibly shifted to sector 3, but obviously this isn't the case since he stays with megumi for a time, and that's when she falls in love with him. i had also attributed his memory loss to DD-426, but rather than that, i guess it was just pushing himself past his limits in the sentinel, since he talks about it being the only sentinel that can still fight—meaning the others are still infected, and are unable to be piloted. (until okino figures it out, anyway.)

i do at least feel a little more sympathetic to yakushiji, watching this again. i'm still just not particularly interested in her romance with kurabe, since it feels both selfish and like she's completely disregarding kurabe's agency in all of this by getting 426 to tamper with his memories on her behalf.

i'm glad i'm paying a little more attention to the timeline in this, this time around. i didn't realize how long it took her to even make contact with 426, but obviously now i'm aware she couldn't have spoken to him until he started riding around in juro's head—no wonder he appears for the first time right as juro walks past yakushiji. understanding that she's also waited a number of months also makes me see that she's actually been pretty respectful in the meantime—just not after this point.

when 426 talks to her here, and says that yakushiji is the one that called him... in japanese, he says that he was called by her inner voice/the voice of her heart... i feel like the japanese feels more in-line with this narrative he tries to sell to her of this magical girl genre gone wrong.

oh, when i originally played through this, i said no when 426 initially makes his offer. i didn't realize that if you said yes, yakushiji even directly references this, asking if he's going to turn her into a magical girl or something. although it's interesting to me that regardless of what you answer, yakushiji is still skeptical, and 426 still gives her time to think it over. i feel like with what's established about her, especially as someone who is also meant to be more intelligent, turning him down initially feels like the right choice, at least to me.

i do, at least, really appreciate yakushiji's determination. especially her resolve at the end where she talks about how she would make a deal with the devil if she had to if it meant getting juro izumi back.

destruction mode tutorial 005:

once again, i love kisaragi so incredibly much. i love how she says the only thing she wants an apology for is where yakushiji put the switch, because it's way too difficult to access on her back.

god i love kisaragi and ogata's dynamic. they're so much fun together. i feel like there's a handful of ships i have some misgivings about in this game (mostly just because i like more build-up than anything else) but kisaragi/ogata is good.

i wonder if the reason that yakushiji seems to know a little more about the sentinels is just because of her previous relationship with izumi. although, when gouto shows up at the end of this, he seems familiar with her. so i guess she's had more exposure to him, too.

once again really enjoying yakushiji and her friendship with kisaragi in this scene.

Happy Birthday Runic!!

So it is the lovely @runicmagitek's birthday today, and some mutual friends and I got together to shower them with art and fic. Here's the master list of everything we've made - I'll update it as necessary. Happy birthday, Runic!! loose strands by meredactyl (Aeris/Tifa, Final Fantasy VII) rituals don't have to be grand. sometimes, the smallest can be the most meaningful. Ante Up by Postal_Ninja (Celes/Setzer, Final Fantasy VI) Raised by the Empire from infancy, the last place that Celes Chere thought she would find herself was on the stage of a world-renown opera house performing an aria for a captive audience. But given her uncanny resemblance to Maria, the soprano and star of the opera, it seemed the perfect opportunity for her to take the singer's place as bait. The prey? Setzer Gabbiani, a notoriously rich gambler and owner of the world's only airship... and the only person capable of helping the Returners strike back at the Empire. But would her efforts be enough to ensnare him? it fades sublime by lireside (Aerith/Tifa, Final Fantasy VII) The beach is private. In a perfect world, that wouldn’t matter—to Tifa, who wears long vests to cover up her scars, or to Aerith, who keeps her dresses buttoned up to hide the keloid gash on her stomach. But it does matter, and here, they’re free: to bare it all and luxuriate in each other’s radiance. skin-to-skin by Lunardrop (Aerith/Tifa, Final Fantasy VII) Her beautiful scar, the mark of a survivor, is flushed, seeming to beat against Aerith's other hand like her gentle heart, and Aerith's desire soars for Tifa to see herself as how she sees her. morningside rituals by tangerinabina_de_archanea (Tifa/Rude, Final Fantasy VII) Tifa and Rude have a few morning habits, some more pleasurable than others. As Long As Your Love's There To Lead Me by wingsyouburn (BJ/Natsuno/Keitaro, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim) Morning in the Miura household. Art by GalianZinc (Aerith/Tifa, Final Fantasy VII, NSFW)

Hey there! I don't know what compelled me to share this, but I wanted to let you know your sekimiura fic (lifetime in repeat) is hands down my favorite fic in the fandom and I've been rereading it so much the past month just bc it makes me smile (plus holy crap I love the song that inspired the title - it's 100% them). I know the fandom is small, let alone this freaking rarepair lol, but thank you for sharing this gem of a story. Please know it means a tremendous amount to me 💖

AHHH thank you so much T__T i absolutely love your own 13S fics—your takes on keinatsu in particular are so, so interesting—so i really am glad that you enjoyed!

i'm always happy to contribute to sekimiura! if i may rant (because i love oversharing for no reason): after finishing 13S, i read/watched a lot of "piecing together the plot" content and those two's interactions really caught my eye. there's ei being all smiley around keitaro like i said, and the "we're friends, right?" scene that lives rent-free in my brain, but also there's this complexity to their relationship that's just so compelling.

ei, who lives in this world of betrayal and manipulation (see: ida and morimura's everything), directs his amnesiac self to BJ—an AI pilot who, despite whatever distance might've come between them, he refers to as "a friend." out of all the people you know, he's saying, you can trust him. and of course there's the log stuff; and ei pointing out iori's and natsuno/BJ's sentinels in equal measure when he activates his own; and when all that comes together it's like wow, my boy really has two hands

so this is all to say: thank you! while i wish 13S were more popular (and/or that i hadn't gotten on the train 2 years late), everyone in this fandom has been very kind to me thus far, and i'm hoping to contribute more—especially with my own little rarepairs/crack ships \o/

#''what do you have there?''#(looks at this unprompted sekimiura rant) an answer to an ask...#SORRY IF IT WAS INACC my brain can only hold so much 13S info #tl;dr - they are so cool. i would like to hold them politely #asks
