(I only know the story up to right before the fight with the Sage)

So far this arc is starting to feel arbitrary, and have Misteln cause the imprisonment of Seele (theory) while everyone, including the writers, except for Kira, portrays Misteln as a good guy.

I know this is just the start of chapter 38, but right now the optics of the story of it isnt all that good in my eyes. Dialogue scenes? Great. Animations in 3D scenes? Massive improvement. All that is great.

But the writing?

The further I go I keep asking myself why we are even there.

Why are we there? Misteln sent us there.

Why did Misteln send us there? She wants her Sage stigmata or whatever back.

Why are there problems in the bubble worlds? Because Misteln made Seele a second sage. (Not by herself, but she manipulated actions to qualify Seele for being a second sage)

Why are we fighting the Sage? Because Misteln made Seele a second sage.

Why did Misteln make Seele a second sage? Because she wants her sage stigmata back.

This wouldnt be that much of a problem, if it werent for everyone (except Kira) not viewing Misteln as the bad guy here.

Did I miss something? As far as I can remember the bubble world seemed rather stable beforehand, and the Sage is incredibly dedicated to being the Sage. So the issue of Forms/Stigmatas/whatever turning into monsters seems rather minimal in this case.

Like, we are helping them out and solving problems, that was caused due to Misteln arriving and wanting her stigmata piece back.

Again, am I missing something here so far?

Okay lets leave the writing behind and see what (again, mostly theories based on what has been said) can come from this arc.

The biggest thing Im seeing is Veliona being left alone in a more permanent way. This comes mostly from the fact that they could apparently seperate in the Sea of Quanta all this time, and how much "the tower locks the Sage in the tower" got repeated after Seele became the second sage.

But if that is the result, we got a fanservice Herrscher Seele battlesuit since Seele will be locked up in the tower and Veliona goes free. (Most of my issues would be calling it a "Herrscher" battlesuit. Why not "Sage of Rebirth Seele" or something? Mostly because Herrschers has normally had a bigger impact on the story than immediately being locked up.)

If that doesnt happen, and Seele and Veliona keep independent bodies, Misteln gets her Sage piece, and everyone goes home... Couldn't they just have blamed it on Sea of Quanta effects and tossed Seele and Veliona out of the Sea while they were still seperated, and give them independent bodies because "the Sea of Quanta doesnt obey our universe's laws"?

We could also have Seele and Veliona fully reunite, aaand for this one lets say they both get stuck in the tower. Okay, this one would be better. It'd get Seele out of the story (at least for now), but the main issue would remain if Misteln doesnt get portrayed as a bad guy for causing that.

And if they dont both get stuck but goes free... Then it all feels like an overly convuluted plan for Misteln because she wanted to get her Sage piece back in a different way than just brute force from the start. Would the worlds being Sageless even cause them both to collapse? Or would the Tower just choose another Sage? Did the worlds even have a Sage before the current Sage or what?

Back to Misteln.

Even if Seele WANTS to become a Sage and end up locked up to ensure the stability of the worlds, wouldnt that still make Misteln a selfish bad guy in this arc? The tower locks up the Sage in it. Its not just "the tower lets the Sage have the best power to govern both worlds" no, it actually forces the Sage to remain in the tower.

The current Sage seems VERY stable compared to the other stigma piece we saw right before Misteln and Prometheus came to the current bubble world. So in the end, everything would be cause by Misteln being a selfish piece of shit wanting her stigma piece back, yet the story does not want to portray that??

Its one thing have Misteln not see herself as a bad guy, but when the good guys AND THE WRITERS does not want to portray her that way either, what the hell??

The most we have is Kira, who seems to have most of her annoyances and distrust of Misteln centered around being tossed back deep into the Sea of Quanta. That, and not everyone immediately 100% trusting everything Misteln says, which is just common sense.

Misteln still led Seele down the path to become a second Sage which ended up causing a lot of instability and chaos in the bubble worlds.

>Ranting over.

Again, I am only up to right before the fight with the Sage. Possible that I missed something before or if this all will get cleared up in the future.

hello hello!!! can i request a niamh fic wheres shes dating a single parent and niamh just treats the kid like her own because the other parent isn't in the picture?! sorry if this doesn't make sense lmao

Brown-Eyed Girl

Niamh Charles x Reader

warnings — bit suggestive at the end.

A little baby blurb for you all <3

______________

Emmeline had a tight grip on your hips as you swayed her exhilarated figure across your chest. You had finally gotten out of the house, a Spiderman backpack adorned by your side, and your daughter babbling on about the day the two of you were about to have.

Despite popular belief, being a single parent was the greatest gift you had ever received. You had Emmeline just shy of three years ago, and she quickly became your best friend through everything. Your daughter was a spitting image of you, but the contributions of your past partner still took over her brown, beady eyes, and gorgeous skin.

Emmeline was shy. She was personal and dainty, and only said what she could in phrases of mumbles to people she wanted close to. In many ways, she was a ray of sunshine, willing to stand out and be bold with friends and family. But she was your baby, your darling girl since you had found out you were pregnant, and she was your biggest priority no matter what.

When you first met Niamh, Emme was the one to tell you that the two of you were meant to be.

The English woman was patient and willing, even when she first found out you had a child to love and care for over her. If anything, she found you all the more endearing. Niamh would take her out for cafe dates, and walk her to and from preschool on the way to training. Emmeline would rant on and on about how Niamh would give her the best tickles, and when your baby was near, Niamh was always not far behind.

Your daughter undoubtedly looked up to the footballer. The first Chelsea game you attended was in the general admission seating, amongst the bustle of enriched fans and excitement radiating through cheers and screams. Niamh spotted the two of you in the crowd, offering you a nimble, modest wave, resulting in Emme giggling into your neck and pointing to the woman, rambling on about how she “wanted to be smart like Mummy but fast like ‘evie.”

Emme had trouble properly pronouncing her words. ‘Niamh’ was proven to be among the difficulties she endured, and all her little mouth could muster was ‘evie.’ It was short, and abbreviated, but full of love and adoration all the same.

After a few more games, watching the girl you were quickly falling for, people began to piece together the subtle clues of your relationship with the Chelsea player.

It all started with a fan taking a photo with Niamh after a game, and you were in the passenger seat, casually looking down at your phone oblivious to the photo being taken. At first, people brushed it off as you being a friend. But then, two weeks later, the same thing happened, but with Emmeline nuzzled underneath Niamh’s puffer jacket, her curly brown hair and reddened cheeks poking out from her collar.

Fans were reeling to piece together who this child was, and why you were all of a sudden showing up to games. The funny thing was that the two of you hadn’t even started dating yet. It was when Emmeline started asking when her Evie would move in, and whether she would ever stay to read her a bedtime story before going back to her place.

It was from there when you spent your weekends covered in a blue jersey with your girlfriend’s last name across your shoulders, forever wrapped around her finger with the warmth of your love and your daughter’s affection.

“Mummy— mummy! Will Auntie Guro be there?” Emmeline was wiping her nose on her sleeve, cradling the soft plushy toy in her arms as you held her closely to your chest. “Auntie Guro, I need to tell her.”

The walk through Chelsea’s facilities were long to say the least. The buildings seemed to prolong for miles, and you knew that if the baby in your arms was to be walking, she wouldn't be in the same, happy mood as she was now. “I'm not sure, Emme baby. Why, what do you want to tell her?”

“Talk about something, Mummy. Haven't seen Auntie in ages.” She dragged out, looking around the corridors in search of anyone she knew. “Will we be able to see Aggie as well? I wanna talk to her too, Mummy, please.”

“They might be busy with the cameras, darling girl.” You answered, finally hearing the familiar laughter of the team.

Today was media day, meaning spouses were allowed to roam the grounds at their own discretion. Emme was feeling good when she found out that she was coming to Niamh’s work with the rest of her aunts to talk to. While this didn't necessarily mean she was free to interact with any of them at any time, Emme was more concerned about simply being in their presence, and this was shown when she caught sight of Niamh sitting on a lounge in front of two interviewers, while none other than Guro sitting next to her.

Immediately, Emmeline squirmed in your grip but knew better than to sprint over to your girlfriend. This wasn't the first time the two of you had made your special appearances during Media allocations, so the girl knew that she wasn't permitted to leave your side and wander off in case she was caught with some unwanted attention.

You were fussed with the media involved in Emme, but you wanted to keep the engagement less on her and more on football. You knew people loved Emme, believe you. But there was sketchy stuff over social media, and you wanted to make sure that even with your daughter spending time with Niamh and her teammates in front of the public eye, it was minimal and harmless. There was never a time when someone would ask you to put her in a video or tell you that people wanted to ask her questions or put her in a position where you couldn't be there to aid and support her. On top of these precautions you implemented, Niamh was also significantly protective over the toddler.

If she was taking photos with fans, and Emme was on her hip, she’d either face the girl away from the camera or hide her in her jacket. You would oftentimes keep Emme with you when the two of you were in the football community, but there were a handful of times when people caught you off guard, and Emme was where nether of you were holding her.

Most of the time, people were accommodating in your rejection of interaction. Sometimes, they’d wait for you to keep Emme by your side before asking for a picture or question. Other times, Emme would latch onto your leg, hiding herself away from the strangers, acknowledging that she wasn't looking for attention.

“Wanna see them, Mummy,” Emme whispered, drawing excited circles along your collarbone. You combed your fingers through her hair, strolling over to where you were behind the cameras, looking to where your girlfriend and your daughter’s favourite Auntie found you in an instant.

Niamh instantly stood up off the couch, bending down to beckon Emme over. You bent down and let her go, laughing at the potent stomps echoed through the indoor establishment and the squeal she let out when falling into her arms.

“If it isn't the main character herself!” One of the interviewers said, the other smiling in adoration as Emmeline wrapped her legs around Niamh’s waist instinctively, making your girlfriend tuck her skirt under her legs, sitting the girl on her lap with her arms encircling the girl’s figure.

“Looking bright as ever, Y/N!” Guro waved brightly towards you. “How are you?”

“Yeah, good. Busy morning with this one.” You replied, a collective laughter ricocheting through the room. “She’ll knock out soon. She’s just had a hot chocolate, and the sugar rush will end.”

“She's so cute.” The Norwegian stated, moving down to make close eye contact with Emme, who was already giggling at the woman’s presence. “Aren't you, vakker? Jeg er din favoritt, ikke sant?” I'm your favourite, aren't I?

“Ja, jeg elsker deg, Auntie Guro.” Yes, I love you.

Guro blushed and cooed at that, kissing your daughter’s nose and pinching her cheeks with a loving smile plastered across her face. Niamh took the jacket off, the warmth of Emmeline’s body heating her enough. You watched the teammates continue their interview, smiling at the subtle wink Niamh sent your way.

They had asked Emme a few questions indirectly, asking you before if it was okay. You agreed, finding Niamh’s prompts completely adorable.

Emme would ramble about stuff that wasn't even related to the question, but Niamh would subtly steer her back in the right direction. If Emme was getting ditsy, she’d bounce her thigh in jitters, sending the toddler back into a relaxed, comfortable state.

As you predicted, Em fell asleep fifteen minutes later, quietly snoring, relishing the patterns Niamh drew on her back, gripping onto Guro’s hand absentmindedly. You had taken a seat behind the set, replying to some emails, half listening to the questions being asked in what seemed to be a podcast of sorts.

When they finished, Niamh and Guro invited you onto the couch, letting you take Emme from Niamh with a peck of her lips.

“If you ever want to spend time without her, I would happily take her,” Guro announced, rubbing the child’s cheek. “Oh, she's so cute. I'm jealous of you, Charles. An adorable baby and a hot girlfriend.”

Niamh shot the woman a testing look, shaking her head at the laughter you let out in response.

“You would give her too many sweets, Reiten,” Niamh replied. You felt a blush creep onto your cheeks when her arms fell across your shoulders. “You wouldn't be able to say no to her.”

Guro scoffed. “Who would be able to say not to such a beautiful baby?”

Niamh chuckled. “Point proven.”

That was the last of Niamh’s duties for today, meaning that the two of you were homebound after a few more minutes of talking with Guro.

You both thanked the crew and other members of staff on the way out, trying your best to be quiet in order not to wake the baby up.

“Where’s your car?” Your girlfriend asked, searching for your keys in the spiderman bag.

“We walked.” You replied, taking Niamh’s keys out of her jean’s pockets and handing them to her.

“No wonder she's so tired, baby. I could of picked you up.”

“She only walked halfway, Niamhy, baby.” You rolled your eyes, sighing. “She's gotten the expectation that someone will carry her whenever she feels like it.”

You threw a pointed glare at the woman, smirking at her guilty face.

“She's a princess.” Niamh retorted. “If her feet are sore, I’ll carry her.”

“She's becoming very demanding, I think.”

“She's a good girl.” She answered, watching as you buckled the sleeper into her seat. “Don't act like you're not demanding at times.”

You scoffed, climbing into the passenger seat with a prominent, joking scowl. “And when have I been demanding, huh? I don't recall asking you to carry me round everywhere.”

“Oh, I can,” Niamh responded smugly. Your eyebrows creased in confusion. “Don't you remember the other night? Acting very demanding and ended up not walking properly the next day… had you begging and shaking for me to—”

“—Yep, okay, thank you.” You snapped, crossing your arms across your chest. “I doubt that if you just had edged for four consecutive orgasms you’d feel inclined to walk around.”

“If you had been good, then you would've just had the orgasms, not the edging.”

“Let's not talk about this with the baby in the car.” You muttered, trying hard not to think about the events of a few nights before.

“Alright, darling. Just remember that good girls get rewards.”

You sighed, your cheeks heating up. “You're a tease, Charles.”

Niamh didn't reply, keeping her hand on your thigh all the way home, making sure to keep her complacent countenance noticeable until you made it home.

“You love me for it.”

Bunch of random screenshots. Any you find to your liking? Outside Harleep, of course. We all love him. Can I rant, though? I tried to play Starfield. I emm... expected nothing and still was dissapointed - already at character creation. In most of my games I'm playing guys but half of the hairstyles there were various variations of bald... No matter, I managed to patch something up, then I go play and meet empty worlds and empty city - walk 100000km from point A to B without any good scenery or world filled with... something. It's just plain empty, no soul. It looks unfinished af. Oh, and being even slightly "evil" makes everyone hate you. You MUST be the good hero. Which is beyond ridiculous. I don't want to play the hero of the hour in a video game, helping literally everyone and giving everyone money (yeah, that's a thing in Starfield lol). Ok, that's it. I think I feel better now. Not going back there again. I'll just play BG3 till Phantom Liberty.

i feel like more people should focus on Callum x Marla instead of Callum x Milton

cuz sure, yaoi, wonderful.. but emm WHAT?! marla is literally VERY important to the story with her being the whole reason behind the typewriter head and overall a major influence on Callum. and uh Milt?? ima keep it so fr because sure hes important to the story too but there IS a reason he was never outwardly mentioned in game… also REALLY doubt Callum would cheat on Marla, it’s such a shame when female characters get often forgotten about because they get in the way of gay ships but ehh that’s a whole issue on its own-

anwya uhh aowrry 4 the rant but YA

I've decided to almost completely exclude Elysian Realm from Snippets. At most I might cover Mobius' trip in there and maybe have Hua enter there, but other than that ER served no real purpose except to explain why CE Herrschers are different from PE Herrschers. HoC basically played almost no role outside of ER anyways, Raven and Gray Serpenr handled it pretty much on their own (from how it was presented at least. Felt like a Tuesday for them)

Its up to change, I'll have to wait for HoO and HoFi transformations to see how they work.

While on the topic I might as well mention that I'm also planning for WS to go with the previous Project Stigma the game kept building up to. But I would have Misteln build on to that plan, instead of changing it completely. So flood the Earth in Honkai, use the powers of Finality to make Forms appear to continue civilisation, like, just open the gates with Finality to let Forms easily manifest.

None of this weird adam or collective unconscious thing that is somehow easily reversed(???). Kill all humans, Stigma Awakened survives, Forms appear to help continue civilisation.

And now I am going to rant a little.

Why the fuck is Project Stigma somehow easily reversible? What the fuck are the actual stakes any more? If we stop Kevin we can reverse everything and everyone lived happily ever after??

I feel no stakes from the finale of part 1. WS wants us to win. Misteln helped us, Kevin doesnt want to do Project Stigma but he feels backed into a corner to do it, and even if he does do it we can just reverse engineer it if we stop him? So no harm would actually be made?

its funny to me that everyone is crying about bts going solo for now like it wasn't obvious when they put together a best of bts album, their title track was called yet to come with lyrics like, "There were a lot of changes but, I'm still the same, a new chapter" not to mention J-HOPE at lalapalooza, not bts but J-HOPE. its sad yes, but honestly we've been ranting about solo activities for years now and suddenly everyone is absolutely devastated that it's happened? im excited to see what will come of this, maybe we'll finally get actor Jin, Jungkook's album perhaps, most definitely looking forward to yoongi's first solo album with collabs featuring Logic and all his other artist friends he's made. jungkook and khalid would sound heavenly together so I'm hoping they have a song together. all in all I'm happy they've decided to find themselves outside of being BTS, and even though ive fallen out of kpop and lost touch with this side of my life i still hold them near and dear in my heart so i wish them nothing but the best.

baby’s first fic exchange

I wanted to have this posted last night, but unfortunately, that didn’t happen, so here we are. I’m just going to start from the top, and work my way until now.

so, I tried running my first exchange back in february, before I even had an operating tumblr account. I set it up, I opened the sign ups…and then immediately panicked and took it all down, before anyone could see anything. I decided I was way over my head, and firmly swore to never try that again, ever.

(fun fact- emme doesn’t know how to keep her promises to herself.)

flash forward two months, to april, and a friend convinces me to create an actual tumblr account. she says it can be small, I don’t have to do anything with it, I could just be mutuals with her, and then talks me out of deleting it immediately, too. I make it through the first two-ish weeks essentially white-knuckling it, not knowing what to do, not talking to anyone, just reblogging parkner posts because that’s what I came here to do, okay.

and then I made that stupid post about wondering if anyone had any newsies asks.

and then crystal reblogged it.

suddenly, I was knee-deep in this fandom again; talking to people, making headcanon posts with @sparkedblaze, ranting about history until people took notice. and it kind of just,,, kept going??? I was sitting there the entire time, confused but having the time of my life, waiting for the other shoe to drop and for everything to go away again. and it didn’t. it SPIRALED.

at some point, we got close to the end of our headcanon posts, and I remember thinking, well, now what I am I going to do? I hadn’t really been posting new works, was stuck firmly in a writer’s block, and was bored. (bad things happen when emme’s bored.) and a tiny voice in the back of my mind whispered- fic exchange?

and suddenly we were doing a fic exchange.

on the first day that I officially opened the sign ups, we got fifteen. FIFTEEN. I remember, because I was with my friends and just staring at my phone in shock. that, of course, grew to THIRTY SEVEN SIGN UPS. WHICH GREW TO FOURTY TWO WRITTEN WORKS. WHICH LEADS US TO LITERALLY TODAY. WHAT.

it was a two months of absolute joy, guys. and throughout that entire process, I was figuring out the minor details behind the scenes, having so much fun and occasionally freaking out to @sparkedblaze. it was a definite learning experience, and I legitimately can’t wait until next time. it’s going to be even better than the first, and I will guarantee that.

now for the fun part, since we’re done with the stories.

first of all, thank you so so so so much to everyone who signed up and participated. it was such a joy to work with you all, and then get to see what you created. I know a lot of you at this point, and it felt like one big party most of the time. I can’t wait to do it again <3

second of all, an even bigger thank you to those who tried to participate, but couldn’t. there were a couple of you that couldn’t get an AO3 account in time, or we couldn’t figure out an immediate solution, and thank you so much for being willing to join us, and for your patience with me. I am very excited to see you all in our next events.

third, to our lovely pinch hitter @ill-say-anything-i-hafta. you stepped in with exactly a week to write a fic, and gave us something beautiful. I owe you so much for that, and I’m so eternally grateful to you. I am waiting anxiously to see what you do next, my friend.

fourth, to @thatoneandlonelyemo2005. mack and I tossed headcanons back and forth so many times during this exchange, and I legitimately would not have the fics that I did without him. <333

and- of course- @sparkedblaze. you wrote pinch hits, listened to my freak outs, begged to help more, told me it was going to be okay, and yelled at me when I needed a break. you have done so much for this, and honestly, you deserve the majority of the credit for the exchange’s success. I owe you literally everything. thank you so much for all you do. know how much I appreciate and adore you, please <3

see you all next time. thank you for everything you’ve done for me.
