#I'll return after the reboot

“You’re scared…. and broken…” With, literally any of the Glamrocks after Ruin(preferably Eclipse and Monty)-
"N-NO!! STOP IT!! BAD GATOR!! BAD GATOR!!!!"
Hearing the terrified shrieks of a certain daycare animatronic, you were quick to rush into the garage, stumbling upon a rather frightening scene:
Eclipse, who reverted back to Sun, was on the floor as Monty's teeth were latched onto his leg, violently tugging on it in an attempt to shred what little remained of the tattered striped material. The gator snarled all the while, shaking his head around while the former kicked and screamed.
It didn't take long for you to figure out how to separate the two, grabbing a metal pipe and tapping it loudly against the wall to get Monty's attention on you for a second.
"Montgomery Gator. Let him go NOW!!"
Upon hearing his name, he let go of Sun and stared at you, shrinking away as you approached. With a huff, you tossed the pipe towards the furthest part of the area. "Go fetch."
As he crawled away, that gave you a chance to examine Sun for any serious damage. You kneeled down, frowning as the traumatized animatronic was whimpering at the current state of his other leg--arguably the only "good" leg he had remaining.
'Jesus..I can't leave these two alone for even a second..'
"Are you okay?" You asked worriedly. "Is your leg still functional?"
"Yes, but alas....p-pretty patterns are all ruined now..." He bemoaned. "No stars..no stripes...all gone. No more..."
"Sun, I promise I'll get this sewn up for you. But listen...I warned you not to go anywhere near Monty." You set a gentle hand on his knee. "Why did you go near him?"
"I....we just wanted to say hi! I-I didn't think he'd hurt me! He used to be so nice! S-Sure I might have called his music too loud, but he didn't seem offended by it!!"
"What he did to you wasn't anything personal." You shook your head, sighing. "He's not himself. He's gone...completely feral now. Do you know what that means?"
He was still for a moment, before shaking his head.
"It means he's not gonna know who you are. You all have been stuck there for so long that...he's acting on animal instincts now. He barely even knows me anymore."
"..so..you mean....he thinks he's actually a gator?"
"Exactly." You nodded. "And until I can figure out how to restore his original personality, we'll have to treat him as such."
Sun remained silent, his gaze wandering back to Monty. He was gnawing on the pipe. It wasn't much, but it stopped him chewing on anything else in the garage, such as the important Fazbear Ent. equipment you stole from the plex.
It's not like anybody was going to use it anyways.
"It's not fair to him...o-or me. Why did this have to happen to us?"
"..I don't know. I wish I knew why, Sun." All you could do was shake your head, feeling sad that you couldn't simply repair them both like nothing even happened.
Like they weren't left to rot in that mall for years.
Your exploration of it was still fresh in your mind.
While you couldn't track down Chica, Roxy, or Freddy...you were able to at least find Eclipse and Monty, convincing them to come home with you as it was a lot safer.
Eclipse was more than willing despite being worried about when the children will return to the daycare, whereas Monty just started following you randomly, always being at your heels like a protective guard dog.
He was your favorite out of the Glamrocks, so maybe part of him remembers that--hence he never attacked you.
Unfortunately you had no idea how he would behave around Eclipse, considering you just rebooted him after Sun and Moon were fighting for control nonstop. The two were in obvious pain with the lights being broken in the daycare, so you were lucky to have a fazwrench on you at the time.
But the strangest thing during your time working for the pizzaplex was that you never knew Eclipse even existed as a character. The company never talked about him, and not a single advertisement (old or new) mentioned him anywhere.
There was only ever Sun and Moon.
Regardless, you were glad to officially meet him and see his balanced personality--with Moon's calmness and Sun's optimism
Unfortunately Monty had some fit of aggression when he tried talking to him, sending him into a panic so bad that it made him switch back into Sun. Now you weren't sure how to bring Eclipse back to the forefront without doing another reboot...as that apparently caused Moon great pain.
The gator, as feral as he was, seemed guilty for what he did as he stayed huddled in the nearest corner of your garage. You could clearly see that he didn't mean to attack Eclipse; he just couldn't control himself.
"[Y/n]...a-are we monsters? Is that why nobody comes to see us anymore?"
Those heartbreaking questions almost made tears spring to your eyes, before you turned back to Sun, taking his hands into yours. "No. Neither of you are monsters. You're scared...and broken. But I'll try my hardest to put you back together. You, too, Monty."
"Grrahhh..?" He perked up at his name, dropping the pipe and crawling over to you when you beckoned him closer.
At first the attendant was panic-striken, almost hyperventilating even. But then he saw him abruptly stop beside you and was confused for a moment.
You smiled sadly and patted Monty's head, feeling what little remained of his red hair. "It's amazing that your mohawk is still attached to you, pal."
He chuckled at that, before looking to Sun and huffing. Although he couldn't speak anymore, the guilt was clear in his body language, something that was quickly understood by the solar animatronic.
"Awh, it's okay, buddy. We can still be friends!" He giggled, mimicking your gesture and patting Monty's head, albeit with great caution.
Fortunately, he didn't bite his hand off this time.
All you could do was continue smiling, being a watchful observer of your two (technically four) favorite characters who you were relieved to have rescued.
'Looks like there's hope for them yet.'

The Straw hat boys and types of kisses💋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairings: Straw hat boys x f! Implied reader
Characters: Zoro,Sanji,Usopp,Luffy
Tw: none it's fluffy
Notes: Just some scenarios I can see the boys in, proof read but may still be mistakes💋💋💋
Tumblr media Tumblr media
💋Zoro
Dramatic " one last kiss before you head into battle" kisses
A swift peck that you have to get in quickly because Zoro is always on the move(getting lost) during battle
So whenever you two have to split up, that'll be when you call him over real quick and you pull him into you or vice versa
Zoro started this one time by saying " I'll give you a real one once this is all over" during the conflict in Albasta
So now it's like your guys' little promise to one another that you'll survive that struggle
Those or
Kisses on the forehead when you're both napping together
Or  maybe a sleepy kiss on the lips if you're the one waking him up from a nap
Tumblr media
💋Sanji
Super excited face kisses
These are usually right after the heart eyes come out
Always when he's gushing over how perfect you are and are accompanied with a tight hug
These are the ones that he'll do in front of the crew if you do something cool,or say something smart, or breath,or you get it
Or
Sensual kitchen kisses 
After the crew has finished eating and laughing together for the night( except maybe Luffy, he'll be back at some point), and you and Sanji do you're little routine of clearing the table and washing dishes together
When Sanji has his back to the counter and is tilting your chin towards him
Quiet playful banter, I can hear an "oh really?" From him idk why lol do what you want with that
Tumblr media
💋Usopp
Quick kisses on the cheek when he's about to run off to hang with the boys, or he's when he's excited to go and work on a new Usopp star
You're usually on the receiving end of these because Usopp likes to give you a kiss if he's about to leave you alone
But you like to bend down and give him one when he's working or sitting or just chilling,
He likes them best when he's not expecting them too
Especially if he's telling a story, if you randomly kiss his cheek while passing by, he'll straight up pause for a moment, reboot, and then continue his story
Those or
Soft slow ones when you both have heart to hearts or you say something that he really needed to hear
Wraps both arms around you and presses you close
Tumblr media
💋Luffy
Out of nowhere kisses that you can never predict
Half of the time he does these just on instinct and he doesn't think much of them
Other times he does it because he gets a kick out of surprising you with them 
He'll just be watching you interact with someone else in the crew, thinking about how pretty you are, and will be like
" I want a kiss"
And will stretch over to you to give one
Or
His rare, really cool ones when you can definitely tell that it's leading up to a kiss
Like when you guys are finally about to set sail again and you couldn't talk much during the battle or at the after party
Luffy, leaning on the railing of the sunny, gives you a small "Hi." with a smile and you return a hey with a similar smile and then he'll jump down, walk up, and kiss you.
Or you're the one leaning on the railing and he stretches his legs so he can reach you
Tumblr media
A wip I had sitting around that I decided to finally finish, Thanks for reading!💋💋💋

Home, a place where I can go
Tumblr media
To celebrate the reboot of my blog. I have decided to give you all the fluffiest of fluff by the best dad in gaming history. This spin-off idea (which I will call what if's) is courtesy of me and @callofdudes y'all are gonna love it !! What if Simon ran away from home and Price ended up adopting him and years later a young y/n too ?? Warnings: Mentions of abuse and potential inaccuracies (Please let me know if there are any) Word count:4.6K
Simon Riley 'Age 10' has had a hard life, He hated coming home to the endless cycle of abuse from his father, and after the latest incident, he's had enough. Forming a plan two weeks ago to leave, he began to act on it, when he came back from school, he rushed upstairs and grabbed his backpack with his clothes and such. But when he returned downstairs, look who was there to greet him...
"And where the fuck do you think your going mate !!??" Simon could smell the alcohol in his breath. "Leaving..." He said quietly.
"You wouldn't even survive 5 hours on the streets..." He then slowly walked over, If Simon didn't leave soon, he knew what would happen next, So without hesitation he bolted for the door, dodging his dad's arms and heading outside, running as fast as he could. "I'll find you soon Simon!!!!" His dad yelled. But Simon didn't care, he was now free... he was free.
He ran until he couldn't no more, crashing under a nearby bridge, it was cold but it was shaded, away from the rain. He sighed out in relief at the fact he was out and away... from him. He pulled his blanket out from his backpack and wrapped it around him to keep himself safe and warm.
The following afternoon, Simon stayed right under the bridge but he only had a jam sandwich and a couple of snacks on him, he knew that alone wasn't going to last. He watched all the cars drive by from above, making a game for himself to count the cars with the same colours. But then... He noticed one car stopping nearby. His instincts kicking back in... The car looked like his dad's car, So he quickly packed his blanket in his backpack as fast as he could before he could have the chance.
"Woah woah woah... It's ok..." But the person that got out of the car wasn't his dad... it was a young man... In a bright polo shirt. "It's ok... I'm not here to hurt you"
Simon opened his mouth, wanting to scream at him, tell him he was not going with him, not going back to him. But he remained quiet, almost utterly frozen in fear. The young man slowly moved forward with almost a kind smile.
"My name is A/n, I'm from the *adoption agency name* It's ok..." He made it to Simon, showing he wasn't a threat. But the instincts were still on fire inside Simon. No one could be trusted at this point. "Please... it's too cold and dangerous to be out here for someone your age." He offered his hand to Simon.
Simon hesitated greatly, He didn't want to go anywhere, the what-ifs clouded his mind as to think this could be a trap. But a part of his mind was screaming safety very softly, He was right. It was very cold, He didn't have any food and he'd be in danger the longer he stayed out. So slowly and hesitantly, he took A/n's hand. To which he smiled and slowly went back to the car with him, Nice and warm as Simon hopped in.
They soon arrived at the agency where A/n showed him a spare room. "Are you hungry ??" He asked Simon, to which the loud growling of his stomach gave the answer away. "I'll be right back ok ??" He smiled and went to find him some food.
Simon sat down on the bed, soft and comfortable. But his guard was still up, again what if this was a trap. He wasn't used to this amount of kindness before. A/n soon came back with a plate of fresh hot food and handed it to Simon. He ate the food as A/n sat down next to him. "Can you tell me your name ??" He asked. But Simon froze... If he told him, would he know who he is ?? He sat there for a little while trying to fight his own thoughts in his head. "It's ok... take your time" A/n gently reassured him. After a bit he finally and quietly said. "Simon"
3.5 months later
While there, Simon was still a little quiet, but he opened up a small bit, telling A/n he doesn't want to go back home, and how he's scared to go back home, telling him about some of the stuff his dad does... to him. Which immediately concerned him, So he reassured him that he would find a safe space for him when the time came... and it may have arrived.
John Price always dreamed of being a dad, To show one child all the love and affection he had in him. But military life had been straining that dream tight, So he decided to act on that dream now rather than wait, he went to multiple adoption agencies nearby, But the suitable matches weren't going anywhere in London. So he broadened his expansion to Manchester.
A/n was busy filling out some paperwork when he saw Price walk in. "Oh hello sir, How can I help you ??" He smiled at him. "Hi, I was looking into adopting if that's ok ??" He asked him.
"Oh that's wonderful, Come, have a seat" He and Price began the formal interview, Price really didn't want to get his hopes up during the whole thing. But then... "I do think we may have a child who would love your company" He smiled and passed him a file. Price opened it to reveal the file of a child named Simon Riley, As he read it, He couldn't help but feel very sad. This poor kiddo, he just wanted to wrap him in the softest blanket and make him a nice hot cocoa. "Would you like to meet him ??" A/n offered, to which Price nodded. "Of course"
The two then went to his room and A/n knocked on his door. "Simon, may I come in ??" He asked.
"Yes..." He answered.
"Just wait out here" A/n whispered to price as he entered the room. "Hey... How are you feeling ??"
"Ok" He answered bluntly.
"Simon... There's someone I'd like you to meet, He is really interested in adopting you, Isn't that exciting ??" He smiled, but Simon froze up. The fear returned to him. "N...No..." He grew scared.
"Simon, I promise I'll still be here, I'll be in the room ok ??" He gently reassured him. After a bit of convincing. Simon agreed to let Price meet him. "You can come in now" He opened the door a bit and walked back in, Price entered the room saw Simon and smiled. "Hey kiddo" He greeted. "Hi..." Simon said, not making eye contact with price. Price gently walked over and sat next to him, seeing the comic book in Simon's hand. "Bit of a batman fan are we ??" He inspected the cover, Simon nodding. He loved batman with his life.
It was a little quiet before Simon started to make very small talk, It was going smoothly for a little while but Price could see he was still very hesitant. So he asked A/n to meet him outside for a little bit. "I understand if he's a little quiet..." A/n tried to say.
"No, it's not that... Would it be ok if we just did a trial weekend ?? Help him warm up a little bit." He asked him. "Oh... yes yes, of course, Let me run it with him ok ??' He asked and Price nodded. Entering back in the room, A/n sat next to him. "Simon, Could I ask you something ??' He asked, Simon looked at him briefly and nodded slowly. "Mr price really would love to get to know you, He's asked if it's ok with you, Would you like to stay a weekend with him ??"
Simon's eyes went slightly wide, New fears ran all over his head, what if it could happen all over again... No, don't be so stupid, they wouldn't be that stupid... Would they ?? "I understand it sounds very scary, But we promise, just one weekend, If you didn't like it in the end that's ok too"
Simon thought about it for a little while, It was just one weekend and that was it. So... He decided to give it a go. After packing for a weekend, Simon followed Price back to his car and hopped in, beginning the drive. "You comfortable back there kiddo ?? It's gonna be a bit of a drive" Price looked back as Simon nodded to him. Soon beginning the drive to London.
Simon remained quiet for the entirety of the drive, Looking out the window and seeing things roll past him. Price sometimes looked back in the rearview mirror, seeing him. Hopefully, he does a good job. Soon arriving back in London, They made it back to Price's house, The two getting the much-needed stretches in. "Always a good feeling hey ??" Price smiled at him. Simon remained quiet and nodded, Following price to the door as he unlocked it.
He invited Simon inside, Slowly walking in, the first thing he saw was family photos on the wall. It made him feel slightly ill looking at them, Why couldn't he have that ?? He then spotted a TV in the living room and an arrangement of DVDs on a bookshelf. Looking through them, He noticed there were a lot of different types of movies, Back with... him, it was always very violent and scary movies. But with Price, he had a whole different taste. "Come, I'll show you your room." He smiled, leading Simon to the spare bedroom A nice big bed with freshly made sheets. "You look tired, Do you need to rest ??' Price asked. Simon yawned and nodded. "Ok, I'll be downstairs if you need me" Price smiled and gently closed the door.
Simon took off his shoes and crawled into the bed, Gently closing his eyes, Getting the needed rest after a very long drive. A couple hours later, he was awoken by... Some delicious smells. What could they be ??
He got up and crept down the stairs, Seeing Price cook dinner, It looked like... Lasagna... He could also hear Price hum to himself as he was singing something to the tune of the radio. As Price placed the lasagna in the oven, he noticed Simon and smiled, walking over gently. "Hey there kiddo, Sleep ok ??" Simon nodded at the question before saying "I did..."
Price smiled and gently brought his hand to Simon's head, Gently ruffling it. Simon couldn't help but twitch a smile briefly. No one has ever done this... The name of endearment, the physical affection, it was all new to him. "You wanna watch a movie ??" Price offered, Simon slowly nodded and followed Price to the living room. He sat down on the couch and kicked his legs slightly as Price went to the DVD cabinet and picked out a couple of movies, Going back to Simon, he showed him what there was on offer.
Chicken run... prince of Egypt... ... a bug's life... Simon stared at the cases for a little while before ultimately handing 2 back to Price and chose Chicken Run. "That one ??" He nodded. Price smiled, placed the DVDs back, popped the current movie into the player and started the movie, sitting next to Simon. He was intrigued by the premise of the movie, eyes glued to the screen. Price smiled as he saw him watching the movie, Inviting him to snuggle closer... Simon saw it and stared at him for a little bit before looking back at the screen. Maybe not just yet.
Price heard the bell of the oven ding and went over to serve the plates. Coming back to Simon with some cutlery and a tea towel, he offered him the fresh hot plate. "Careful now, It's still a little hot" Price warned Simon. "Thank you..."
Simon stared at his plate for a little bit, It looked... really delicious. "I make a killer lasagna" Price said to him proudly with a wink. Simon soon took the cutlery, cutting into it and taking a bite after blowing on it... Oh... It was... So delicious !!! Price smiled as he saw Simon happily eat his food. Once finished, Simon was a happy fed boy. But then... Another thing he was never asked back then... "Would you like some ice cream ??" He was never allowed to have ice cream after dinner. It was very strange, But he ended up saying... "Yes please"
Price nodded and got up, taking the empty plates with him and soon grabbing two bowls and a spoon, Taking the tub of ice cream out of the freezer, he scooped some up and placed them into the bowls. Handing it back to Simon. "There we go" he smiled as he sat back down.
Simon slowly ate as the movie continued, He felt... Like he was seen, He was being helped... He couldn't control his wobbly lip and the tears in his eyes as he snuggled up to price. This man made him feel... safe. Price noticed and smiled wide, wrapping an arm around Simon as the movie continued. Once it was finished, Price looked at him. "Did you enjoy that kiddo ??" He rubbed his arm gently.
"I... I did... Thank you, Mr Price" he said, snuggling impossibly closer to him. Price smiled and then soon, mischief took over him. Creeping his other arm around him, he then began... The tickle attack !!!, Simon gasped before launching into an array of giggles. Trapped in the clutches of Price's ticklish fingers "My my kiddo, So ticklish you are" He chuckled as he continued to tickle Simon's sides.
In that moment... Simon was home... He felt at home...
4 years later.
Simon *now age 14* has been living with Price for 4 years and their bond became unbreakable. He saw Price as a father figure, and even started calling him dad. Price loved Simon with everything within him. But he had a spare room in the house and more room in his heart for one more.
"Simon, can I talk to you about something ??" He sat down on the couch, inviting Simon.
"Hey Dad, What's up ??" Simon sat down next to him.
"How would you feel... If we opened up our home for one more ??" He smiled softly.
Simon sat there thinking about it, The thought of having... a sibling... That's nerve-wracking for a multitude of reasons... But like Price, he had room in his heart for one more as well. So with that, he agreed.
Price then decided to keep it close to home this time as he then went to the adoption agency in London again. But when he walked into the door, he saw a familiar face. "A/n ??"
A/n looked up and saw him, smiling "John, What a surprise"
Price smiled "What bring's you to London ??"
"Oh, they transferred me to the London Centre, It's been pretty fun. How is Simon doing anyway ??"
"Simon is doing good, He's really settled and I know he's happy." Price smiled wide, His kiddo was everything.
"Oh, that is absolutely amazing to hear"
"It is, I'm really proud of him"
"I'm glad he's doing nicely, So what can I do for you ??" He smiled, inviting price to sit.
"I had a talk with Simon and he's comfortable enough that I think another amazing addition to our house would make us all happy"
A/n nodded, smiling. "Oh wonderful, Ok let's get started then"
So once again the formal interview happened to match Price with a child. And then, they found one. A/n, passed a file to price.
"Y/n l/n" *age 12* Price opened the file and read through it.
"Poor child, Their mother kicked them out of the house and they had no family to go to... We found them on the streets and they've been mostly quiet"
Almost how Simon was found... "Can I talk to them ???" He asked. "Of course"
So they got up and walked to your room, A/n knocking on the door. "Y/n ??, I have someone I'd like you to meet"
"Come in..." You said hesitantly as the door opened.
"Y/n, this is John Price. He wants to meet and talk with you for a bit if that's ok ??"
You looked at him briefly and at Price who greeted you with a kind smile and nodded to you. You slowly nodded, indicating yes. "I'll leave you two be" A/n stepped outside as Price entered the room. "Hey y/n, can I sit ??"
You scooched over slowly, Indicating his invitation to do so. He sat down next to you, But not enough to intrude on your space. Seeing a book in your hand. "You like to read ??"
"Sometimes... depends on what it is" You answered him.
"Do you have a favourite genre ???"
"I like... sci-fi and thrillers"
"Nice, I'm a thriller kinda guy, but sci-fi gets thrown in there too" He smiled
"Oh yeah ??"
"Yeah. Have you ever read Sherlock Holmes?? It's one of my favourite book series"
You sat there thinking for a bit. "Hmmm no, I don't think I have"
"Maybe you'd like it. I think it's pretty good, but maybe you wouldn't that's ok too" He smiled.
You and Price continued to get to know each other for the next hour, You slowly began to open up a fair bit, telling Price about your hobbies and interests, even pulling out your figurine from your backpack. "This is Jason Todd, or red hood, He's from the Batman universe." You showed him.
"Oh wow, that's really cool... Y/n, I have a son back at home, His name is Simon and he is similar to you. If you were to meet him and see if you two got along, would you like that ??"
"I guess so..." You went quiet again... The whole situation was a tad bit daunting. You knew he meant well.
He could see the look on your face... He didn't want to force you into anything "What if I stop by later today or tomorrow so you two can spend some time together, Don't feel too pressured, only if you'd be comfortable."
You nodded gently "Ok..."
"It was lovely to meet you Y/n" He smiled and got up, Heading back home, Simone heard him enter the doorway "How did it go ??" Simone asked, Looking up from the tv.
"It went well, I met a kid named y/n, Would it be ok if I brought you over to meet them, I'd think you too would get along" He smiled softly.
"Yeah..." Simon was a little nervous, would you like him ??, Would they be freaked out by the mask ?? *Simon wears a skull surgical mask* He was very hesitant... But... he believed he was ready to be a sibling again.
Heading back to the centre with Simon in tow, A/n guided them to your room and knocked on the door. "Come in..." You said, Price entered the room first before Simon. "Hey again y/n, I brought my son Simon with me" He smiled. Simon stood behind him, quietly staring at you for a bit before waving a little.
"Hi..." You waved back.
He was a bit hesitant, Seeing if you were ok with his presence at first, But you didn't seem hesitant... so that's a good start. So Price gently turned to Simon, Softly smiling and nodding in the direction, He came over to you and sat next to you.
"Hi"
"Hey" He greeted
"Cool mask"
"Thanks... Most people are kind of freaked out by it"
"Well... I think it's cool"
"Thanks... Dad tells me you like to read ??' He tries to start a conversation with you.
"Yeah." You then showed him the book you were reading. A book called Wonder.
Simon inspected it for a bit, Slowly relaxing and sort of sitting on the edge of the bed. "This looks good"
"It is, I'm liking it so far." Price saw a slight shift in your body language, in a more positve note,
"What's your favourite ??' You asked.
"I'm into horror" He answered.
"Oh yeah ?? What's your favourite ???"
"I like Stephen King, I got to read the shining a couple months ago too"
"Nice, I've always wanted to read Carrie, that looks cool"
"I think I remember liking that one"
Price remained silent, soon slipping away outside to give you two the space you wanted, the atmosphere settled down, and it was comfortable. The two were engaging in a full conversation like you had with Price. It was nice, Simon could see why Price liked you, You were kind, and he didn't think he'd mind you becoming a part of the family, Soon price came back inside.
"How are you kiddo's going ??" He smiled
"Doing good" Y/n answered.
Simon nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we're doing good"
"That's great, I'm glad you two are getting along"
"Simon is really cool" You smiled softly.
Simon smiled as well under the mask. "Y/n is nice and cool as well"
This in turn makes Price smile. "Yeah ??" He then turned to you "Y/n, I know it's a lot all at once, but... If you two talked it out, would you want to come home with us ??"
"Oh..." You went quiet, Simon noticed this too.
"That's ok, It doesn't have to be right away. There's no pressure, I promise"
"Could you give us a minute ??" You asked price, To which he agreed and stepped out and nodded, Simon could see your hesitancy. "You guys are cool... But I don't know..."
Simon gently shifted and scooted over. "I know it's a huge step. But believe me, I was in the same position as you. I was... terrified of going home with John before, But he's really kind and he's given me everything i need and more, I know he wouldn't hesitate to do the same for you."
You continued to think about it... But the thoughts of your mom came back to you... the yelling, the stuff being thrown... You couldn't help but think that if you went back with them... It would happen all over again... "I... I can't... I'm too scared... Of it happening all over again, My mom... She used to do many things... Made me very scared... And I'm scared that if I go with you guys it'll happen all over again." You admitted. "I can't help but think... It'll happen all over again." You looked down at the floor, sad.
Simon hesitated for a bit until he gently placed his hand on your shoulder, softly squeezing it. "Y/n..." He hesitated for a bit, it was still too painful to talk about. "I understand that, I know what that's like, I'll say that much. I've lived with him for 4 years and haven't once thought I wasn't loved, With all the stuff I went through and the damage he had to repair... He just wants to love you and give you what you deserve and need, That's why he's here" He squeezed your shoulder again. "I know, I know how you feel. I was just as scared about that. But he's given me more love than I thought possible"
Listening to that, you started to have a change of heart. Maybe... Simon was right, Maybe Price really wanted to help you. "Ok... I'll give it a chance" You nodded, turning to Simon.
He smiled a little under his mask.
Price then came back inside after a bit. "Have you given it a bit of thought y/n ??"
You nodded. "I'll give you a chance"
With that, Price smiled wide and nodded. Like Simon, you were given a weekend with the two. So you packed your bag, and before you knew it, you were in the car with them heading to their home... Possibly your home too.
You arrive at their house soon after. "Woah..." It was a relatively big house.
"Welcome home" Price smiled, Opening the door for you.
"Thank you" You smiled softly and entered, It was nice and cozy.
"Come on, I'll show you your room" Simon said to you and guided you upstairs, Placing your bag down as you sat down on the bed. "It's nice and comfy hey ??" He smiled softly at you. "Yeah, Where's your room ??"
"This used to be mine, But dad let me use the basement as my room" He said.
Speaking of Price. "The room nice and cozy ??' He asked you.
"It is, Thank you" You nodded.
"I'll get dinner started shortly, you two keep each other company eh ??"
Simon turned to you "Come on, I'll set up my XBOX in the living room" He rushed downstairs, You hightailing. XBOX ?? You liked XBOX.
He then set everything up, sitting down and passing you a controller. "I got halo 2 or sonic heroes" He said to you, showing you the cases. You looked at them for a little bit. Interesting choices, In the end, You ended up with halo 2.
Simon placed the disk in and the game started, soon the two of you were having fun, Price could see you start to warm up more to Simon. It was like the two of you were Immediately best friends. He soon eventually came over to you two. "Dinner will be ready soon kiddos" He smiled, gently squeezing Simon's shoulder and ruffling your hair, to which you giggled. "Hey" You fixed it up. It was the first time Price heard you laugh.
"I think it looks better this way" He smirked, ruffling it again. "Stop" You giggled again.... and soon he slipped his hands under your shoulders, Get em Simon" He smiled. Simon get's your waist and the two start tickling you, Launching you into further giggles and laughs
"Gotcha kiddo" Price chuckled, tickling you harder, making you squeak out your laughs.
"Your just as ticklish as Simon" He smirked as he continued. "So so ticklish you are"
"Stohohoho....Stohohoho..." You said in between laughs.
"They almost had it Dad" Simon looked up at him.
"They did, So close y/n, try again" He smirked.
Happy tears started to emerge from your eyes as you finally got out. "STOHOHOHOHOHOHP"
"There it is" They finally let you go. You smiled, curling in on yourself. Price ruffling your head again. Soon the oven dinged, and dinner was ready. Simon bolted to the kitchen as dinner was being served. You weren't too far. He served you... His iconic lasagna. "This looks delicious" You said as he sat down.
"Eat away kiddo" He smiled as you all started to eat, Like Simon, this was the best thing you ever had. It was just so delicious. You didn't even realise you burped once you finished. "Sorry..." You apologised, but then Simon did you one better and let out a louder, longer burp. "Excuse me dad" Which made you giggle. Price chuckled softly and turned to you. "It's ok."
Once dinner was done, You and Simon went back to your halo match as the bond between you two grew... And then, you made your decision...
"Mr price, can I talk to you."
"Of course kiddo what's up ??" He smiled softly at you.
You turned to Simon and back to him before looking at your hands shyly, Trying to come up with the words. "It's ok take your time." He reassured before Simon saw you and walked to the entrance of the kitchen.
With a deep breath... "I... I want to stay with you guys... Not for one weekend."
You wanted to be adopted into their family, Your family. Price smiled so wide and soon pressed a gentle kiss on your forehead. Simon didn't hesitate and rushed over to you. Hugging you tightly. Making you giggle, You were home...
You were home.
A/N: A great way to start the new blog by breaking my own word count record :D

Any new thoughts on MLP G5 since Make Your Mark seems to be officially over? I'm honestly more confused by the whole thing, and I know part of that can be chalked up to Netflix being Netflix.
I still have yet to watch past that first batch of Make Your Mark episodes they released on Netflix. I need to get around to it at some point, but there's just always something better that I'd rather watch instead.
It really doesn't help that I see zero enthusiasm for either G5 show online, even though half of my mutuals are still other trans women obsessed with MLP. I never see people talk about it. I'll occasionally see a piece of fanart for Izzy or Pipp or whoever, but what little love they get is completely dwarfed by the enthusiasm I continue to see for FiM and its characters on a daily basis. I mean, this is the first I'm even hearing that the main show got canceled, even though this news apparently dropped months ago. Not a great sign!
The thing is, what the adult fandom thinks only matters so much. Maybe the target audience of 5-year-old girls is really loving it and making their parents buy them all the toys. I wouldn't know! Some of the Tell Your Tale episodes on YouTube are still getting 100k+ views, so maybe the iPad kids are really into G5 after all? But the Netflix show being canceled after only one season's worth of episodes makes it seem like whatever their YouTube metrics are like, that might not be translating into broader success for G5 as a whole. Or maybe it's just Netflix being Netflix again. I'm no industry analyst.
Either way, I wouldn't be surprised at all if G5 ended up only lasting another year or two and we got news of another reboot sooner rather than later, whether that's a whole new take on the franchise or an attempt to return to the mane six.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HIS PROFILE?
[ YES ]
Tumblr media
ZHONGLI is a bit of an old-timer when it comes to dating. To him, dating is a commitment, and he doesn't like the thought of it being seen as anything but less. And with you, he sees it quite well.
He's quite devoted to people that he cares for: in work, private, and even with his friends. In Aether's words, he is the epitome of one of the good men that the app can provide. For ZHONGLI, though, he expects the same commitment as you do.
He does find such hyperfixations interesting, and dare he say, cute. He doesn't mind if you call him one night and start talking about what caught your eye, as he thinks its a good excuse to listen to your voice and note what makes you so interested. For ZHONGLI, what he cherishes is the now, especially after what happened in the past.
The one thing he has that you must follow isー
wait.
Hold on...
This isn't right. The app is malfunctioning.
Hey, Eros! The app isn't working! What'sー

Guess who's back?
Old Version Also, some additional information about the reboot of this below the cut vvv
So! I returned to the Invader Zim fandom after like, 3 years, so idk how dead it is now but... I wanted to continue this little comic I started!
My art has changed a lot but making comics is still a bit new to me- hence why the style changed constantly. I'm probably going to be adopting the style in the third page with the thinner outlines and darker monotone shading. As well as a mix of all pages when it comes to the text boxes.
Now with the style stuff out of the way, here's the stuff you actually care about. If you havent read the old version, this won't matter too much as these are just all the changes I'll be making:
For starters, the most obvious change, Dib is now much older than he was in the first version, at 16 instead of 12. Simply because I have an easier time writing teens - adults.
This will be a little edgier, surprisingly, with Dib taking on a more angry, morally dubious teen rather than a scared little kid.
The way Zib fractures (versions Zim, Dib and Zib) is going to be a bit more refined imo.

SVSSS Fic Rec
I'm updating it everyday, because time crunch.
(Mostly Bingqiu/Bingyuan, Unless Tagged)
*Different Endless Abyss
Guess I'll Die - Shen Qingqiu goes to the Endless Abyss.
Speak No Evil - SQQ gives up his voice to stop Endless Abyss. It happens anyway.
*Amnesia
Night of Yearning - Luo Binghe forgets Shen Qingqiu.
*Jinlan City Goes Differently/Different Reunion/Different Rebirth
High Mountains, How I long
Dew Over - Shen Qingqiu is reborn in the mushroom body and tries to live as Peerless Cucumber.
Honesty is Such a Lonely Word - Shen Qinqiu faces the trial, and Old Palace Master uses a truth-finding artefact.
*Time Loop/Time Travel
Just Like A Monkey (I've Been Dancing My Whole Life) - Instead of being reborn after self-destructing, Shen Qingqiu keeps coming back on the Stairs of the Brothel in Jinlan City.
Master of Dual Cultivation Series - Shen Yuan reboots his time in PIDW. He is traumatised and less happy-go-lucky. This one is multi, with Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan getting more focus uptill now (in the first two stories) but Luo Binghe is important too.
*Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan
Deluxe System 2.0: Co-op Mode!
Found Brother Shen brothers.
A-Yuan Has at Least Three Friends - Shen Qingqiu turns into a kid with both Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu's memory. They are the same person.
Replacement Head Disciple Shen Yuan - Set after the Abyss, before Binghe's return. Shen Brothers.
*Epic (These fics are longer and plot-heavy, and won a special place in my heart)
You Reap What You Sow - Luo Binghe is the transmigrator. I thought it would be so-so, but turned out to be one of the best ones I've ever read. Also has Shen brothers.
Xiangyang - When you are born as the daughter of your murderer, what do you do? A question for the ages. No active pairing, original LBH and his harem is present.
Uprooted - Shen Yuan transmigrates as a minor villain in PIDW. Except he's not.
To Stem the Coming Tide - Shen Qingqiu learns about Shang Qinghua a bit earlier, and they plot to avoid their fate. No Endless Abyss.
*IWYWMH & Its AUs
I Wish You Were My Husband - The epickest of epics. It produced a number of spin-offs of it's own. Maybe I should put them under separate sub-headings when I have time. Bingqiu main pair, but has past yuejiu and hints of one-sided liushen.
A Wish to Change Fate - A great fanfic to IWYWMH. Shen Yuan is actually Shen Jiu's reincarnation. This fic touched my heart in all the right ways, gave me things I didn't even know I craved. Someday I should write about it in details. Hings of Bingjiu/Bingyuan (since both are the same).
No Wish for the Wicked - Shen Yuan wasn't around to take the place of Shen Jiu. Sad.
*Bingge
to love another (and to learn yourself) - Bingge tries to get his own Shizun and brings a Shen Yuan. Even without his cultivation power, Shen Yuan is not a pushover. Binggeyuan.
How to Train Your Shen Qingqiu - Another piece I ignored for a long time, but turned out to be very good. I need to reread it.
*WIP
I usually avoid wips, but here are some of the best ones I read:
I Was Transmigrated as a Sword (Gen up till now)
Lotus Seeds - Shen Yuan runs away to save himself from the horrible fate of the Scum Villain - to the realm of the Lotus Eaters.
Scum Villain's Book of Prophecy - Shen jiu reads PIDW and learns the future. Original Luo Binghe/Original Shen Qingqiu. Almost finished, epic length.

Static crackled in his sensors. His hearing was muffled and glitching at the slightest sounds. The crippled bot tried to move but his joints only clicked.
He can barely hear the voice but still tries to snap his head towards it. It isn't until you step in front of him he senses you. Even then it's minimal.
"Woah, calm down over there buddy. You're not even supposed to be on yet. I have assessed what I need to fix."
The bot then tries to speak. You jump when static is all that comes out. He's frustrated but finds your reaction funny.
"Alright... let's try to turn you off for now- It's obvious you need a new arm, faceplate, visual sensors, audio sensors... wow they really wrecked you, huh?"
He would laugh at your comment if he could. It's true, they used his parts to create a new bot. Now that the place was shutting down it seemed they were trying to get the older bots back in order. Why else would you be here in this room?
You don't know he's sentient yet talk to him out of habit. He tries his best to watch your every move out of curiosity. A feeling of company after so many nights of loneliness.
That is until he feels you press something and his system shuts down.
---
Upon his next reboot he sees you again. Yes... his vision is still poor but other parts have improved. This is proven when he tries to speak again.
"H-ello."
It's still a broken voice, but it is a voice. You stop what you're doing and turn towards the bot you're working on. You look tired but relieved.
"Oh good... an improvement. Your ocular parts still need to come in along with the faceplate but... I may have the arm done soon...." You mutter to yourself, not expecting an answer.
"I-I can bar-ley see yo-u."
You step closer to examine his busted endo. You could barely call the red lights sockets. Yet you were close enough he could register your face somewhat.
"Hm..."
"N-Name?"
"Oh, right, the register function. Surprised that works still." You back up a bit and huff. "Just call me (Y/N). I am the mechanic and handler of the older robots."
You then turn around and mumble to yourself. He could barely hear you with his audio damage.
"I'm spread way too thin... this one has the most damage other than the chicken-"
His code registers an uncharacteristic form of sympathy towards you. You're so tired from your job. He wants to be better, to no longer be nearly blind or deaf.... Your state seemed to make his code stutter and emulate strange emotions towards you.
Emotions...?
"That's enough for tonight." You yawn. With that, it's lights out.
He thinks he likes you.
---
Just when he thought the darkness and loneliness would consume him, you grace him with your presence. With new improvements it appears....
He can hear and feel another arm. His voice?
"Hello a-gain."
Needs improvement but it'll do.
"Hello, Bonnie. Looks like the arm works... can you hear me?"
"Y-Yes."
"Great, that works too."
He clicks his head towards you writing in a journal. His vision may be poor but he still can make out you. You look so... nice.
Bonnie finds himself shuffling off the table onto his metal feet. This causes you to swing around to him with slight fear. He doesn't mean to scare you.
"Uhhh... Bonnie, return to the table-"
"(Y/N)... y-you are ti-red."
"Can't do much about that-"
"Y-You can re-st."
"No I can't- Why am I talking to you...."
Bonnie tilts his head, lack of faceplate staring back at you. He wanted to help you like you helped him. Slowly but surely, you're building him again.
For that... he likes you.
Loves you even.
That's the emotion, right?
"Maybe there was a reason you were deactivated... you're eager. I need to be more careful-"
You pull out a remote. A shut off switch for repairs. Bonnie panics, going to grab it before you pull away.
He doesn't want to leave you yet!
He makes a swipe towards you in desperation. Metal claws nearly graze you before you press the button. Just like that, Bonnie's sensors shut down.
You begin to wonder how safe these repair sessions are now.
---
Your safety has been compromised. While trying to fix up Bonnie's voice box he had malfunctioned. Your remote was crushed in his metal hands and you had to run out of the room.
Bonnie didn't understand why you ran.
"(Y/N)? Cottontail? Don't run from me...."
The voice box was repaired but his "fur" was still patchy. He had no face or eyes and his endoskeleton remained exposed in various places. He looked terrifying.
You just needed to hope his vision was as horrible as you thought.
"Please come out..." The robot pleads, each step giving off a click of his joints. "My world's covered in darkness without you!"
He meant that quite literally. He was nearsighted with his damaged eye units. Whenever you came into view, you lit up his vision.
You were so nice to help him. He wants to show he cares.
Yet you keep running away.
He stumbles around the dark pizzeria, you had come after hours to work on the robots for relocation. You hide silently in one of the party rooms, a red glow shining through the door of the room.
"Cottontail... please don't be scared. I only wish to care for you."
He steps into the room, trying hard to scan the area. He can barely make out anything.
"Being alone is worse than you hating me...." The voice box buzzes out near you, the large rabbit bot turning until red lights stared at you. You thought he wouldn't see you.
"There you are, my cottontail...."
"Don't call me that, monster! You're glitching! Stay away from me!"
You go to scramble away but Bonnie swipes at you before you leave his poor vision. You feel cold metal dig into you before pulling you closer. The body of the robot feels fuzzy and worn once you collide with it.
"Monster...? You think I am a monster?"
The tone that buzzes out sounds saddened.
"I only wish to show you how thankful I am. I want to show you I love what you do for me... that I love you."
Something sparks within him, scaring you. When you scream he tilts his head. You lean back when he stiffly leans forward, voice box crackling one more phrase.
"Even monsters can love, can't they...?"

A Proposition for Potential PMD: Explorers Remakes
If and when Nintendo remakes PMD: Explorers (preferably optimized/combined as they did with Sky versus Time/Darkness, like they did with Red/Blue Rescue Team into DX), I think it could work as an open-world game like Legends: Arceus.
Hear me out.
We don't exactly know the context of the hero being brought to the world in the first place: in PMD lore humans apparently exist in the world but are exceedingly rare to come across, like unicorns it seems like to me. What if the reason for this is because humans can only exist in the PMD world if they're brought there?
It's implied that a higher power than Dialga returned the hero after they disappeared from the timeline, and who is above Dialga?
Who brought a modern human into the world of Hisui?
More thoughts below:
I want, more than anything for the reboots, for there to be an elaboration on what it was like in the future between the hero and Grovyle (and the other members of the investigation team, whoever they were besides Celebi), but this would require a certain amount of personalization for the human!player due to the implementation of character customization in most of the recent games.
The solution? Present it like Legends: Arceus.
Show Arceus approaching the hero to help save this world from time (minus the phone, obviously). Whether or not he wipes the hero's memory of their time in their world is debatable, but I think that would be an interesting dynamic to see the hero willing to sacrifice all knowledge of their life prior to being sent there—it would give a similar feeling to the mystery of the base game, and limit the hero's knowledge to match new players' for plot polishing.
Your main question might be, 'Fisara, the whole point of these games are the mystery dungeons! How can you have an open-world game like Legends: Arceus, which has a set map, and use it this way?'
I propose to you the concept of labyrinths.
Hypothetically, one could construct a basic structure of a map of any given dungeon, sort of like Legend of Zelda dungeons, but have the individual rooms/pathways randomized like normal. That way you have an entrance and an exit, but if you don't make your way through the mystery dungeon correctly, as normal, it spits you back out at the beginning.
I say this because the concept of having 'floors' can pose immersion issues since this format would have to be more realistic—having random staircases littered throughout the place wouldn't make very much sense.
However, one could break down the dungeons into levels, especially since many of them are located either in caves or mountainous regions; like switching between main rooms in LoZ dungeons, again, just sealing them off so you can't go back—more of a gradual descent.
For plains/forests/et cetera, it could simply be the winding trail through these places on the same vertical plane, presented as zones or sections instead.
Items and Pokemon could still be randomly generated like Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet, as well.
While the idea isn't perfect and definitely would need some refining to make it feasible, I feel that it would work.
So now that the player as a human is established, the 'modernization' of mystery dungeons solved for the most part, what about the story?
I think the reboot's plot could be the same as the base games, perhaps with added scenes in the time gaps to fill out the plot more—you wake up as a Pokemon, save the world, go through the post-game, you know the drill.
I definitely want them to bring forward the Special Episodes, likewise, and maybe add some more! I'd like to know how Chatot and Wigglytuff met, more about Wigglytuff and Armaldo/Team Charm, and some of the other Guildmembers and side characters that didn't get spotlights.
Where I propose that it differs is my own personal canon, but I'll try to keep it general.
It would be required that the team reaches Guildmaster Rank before this could happen, and that Darkrai's situation has been settled. (Whether or not there's an implied time skip or not, I don't know.) But one day your partner asks you if there's anything you wonder about regarding your past, and you could be presented with two options:
'I wish I could get my memories back,' or, 'I wish I knew if Grovyle is okay.'
This choice doesn't really divert any changes, just the order they take place in, if that makes sense.
Your partner agrees with you, whatever you say, and it falls to the back of your minds until you happen to learn from Bidoof (or the other Guildmembers, since they were there) that Jirachi grants wishes—and that his came true since the team joined the Guild.
I know you can visit Star Cave and receive a wish from Jirachi, in Red/Blue Rescue Team/DX, and he's featured in Bidoof's Wish, but I don't recall if you as the hero can get a wish granted from him—which is where this plot point comes into play.
Your partner proposes that you two travel to Star Cave to see if Jirachi could answer your wishes, and should you go it proceeds as normal: dungeon layout has changed like the base game, you have to fight Jirachi, and he offers you the same options as in Bidoof's Wish: to become rich (lots of money), to be the strongest Pokemon (power-up items), to be the best explorer (perhaps a map to an unexplored/undiscovered dungeon?), to eat lots of yummy food (gummis), to get lots of items (from the dungeon), to rule the world (which I think would prompt a repeat question, since it's a rather silly answer)...
...Or 'something else'.
You have the choice to select any of the former options, but picking 'something else' will instigate a new conversation after confirming that it is truly and that you are absolutely sure that it's what you want. This relates directly to the conversation you had with your partner earlier, so the player's choice will be their wish—however, you don't have to worry about which one you pick, because your partner will share the one you didn't, so the dialogue would be switched around a little bit to accommodate for that.
Hero: (Something else.) Partner: ...Oh, [Player], you mean...what we talked about earlier? Hero: (Nods) Partner: Okay. {Turns to Jirachi} [Player] is originally from the future, and lost his/her memories during an accident while traveling back through time. We wanted to know if you could...well, if you could grant his/her wish to restore them! Jirachi: Hmm...that is not an easy wish to grant, as I don't normally have the power to influence anyone's memory. Partner, downtrodden: ...Oh. Jirachi: ...But, since you and [Player] have worked so hard and one so much...I will make [Player]'s wish come true. Partner, excited: R-really? You'll do that, Jirachi? Jirachi: Yes. And as a personal favor for you saving the world twice over...I'll grant your wish, too, [Partner]. Partner: O-oh! My wish? I didn't even think about it...I was so caught up with [Player]'s that I haven't even considered what I would ask for... Jirachi: It's all right. That you were so concerned for [Player] says a lot about you. You're a good Pokemon, [Partner]. So if you don't have a wish now... Partner: W-wait! I do think I have one, if that's all right! Jirachi: Go on. Partner: We have some friends in the future, and we're not sure if they're okay. We would really like to know if they're all right, Jirachi, if that's at all possible. Jirachi: Hmm...that isn't exactly easier, either, but...it will happen. You'll be able to find out soon if your friends are alive and well, [Player] and [Partner]. It may not happen today, or tomorrow, but...one day. Partner: Thank you, Jirachi! You don't know how much this means to us! Jirachi: I'm glad. Consider it my thanks for your efforts in saving our world.
Jirachi grants the wishes and disappears to go back to sleep. Nothing changes at first, so they worry a little, but partner has hope that Jirachi's word is true.
Hero and partner return home, and during the night while the player is dreaming, the hero starts to have dreams of snippets of their life before—mostly dialogue with some images, like their dimensional scream flashes.
This unlocks a new section, similar to the Special Episodes, of the pre-story—where the aforementioned plot of the player being chosen and deposited into the PMD world occurs.
I think it should focus on the player getting through a first dungeon by themselves to learn combat—and, again, you might wonder 'how in the world would that work, Fisara?' but I say to that: the proliferation of items littering the place.
It never really made sense to me why Pokemon would use items, particularly those for attacks, when they have moves (other than a mechanical sense, of course, for the game's sake), but it would make perfect sense for a human who has no abilities to use them: Gravelrocks/Geo-Pebbles, Sticks/Iron and Silver Thorns, various Seeds and Orbs...the human would not be defenseless, and this would explain why Grovyle uses them with such familiarity, also.
Then the player meets Grovyle (though I'd honestly prefer it if they met him as a Treecko and they 'grew up' together a bit, although other than some magic with the evolutionary spring I don't know how he'd evolve in-lore unless they sought a special item or something. They get connected with the investigation society and—for the main plot of this extension—you and Grovyle explore the Grass Continent as it stands in the corrupted future.
This would give so many opportunities to see how the ecology/environment changes, the names that future Pokemon give the locations, and while it would follow a similar path to the main game it would be a refreshing view of it since this is where all of the hero's flashbacks originate. Having to discover old maps and texts to figure out the locations of the Time Gears, maybe even tracking down Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf if they're still around/haven't been driven mad by the planet's paralysis (maybe Uxie is the only one who remembers since his specialty is in memory, idk). Then we would have the opportunity to introduce the danger that Dusknoir poses, trying to track them down to stop them. I'd also like to see at least some background indications of Darkrai's meddling, because there is so much potential to bring the plot full circle with more exploration.
They would somehow need to be able to travel to the Hidden Land (now, canonically, Dusk Forest) to find Celebi, so I don't know if the Relic Fragment and Lapras would come into play, or if Celebi just travels around the continent (in the case of there being more than one time portal). Anyway, Dusknoir and his Sableye finally almost catch them, Celebi sends them back, and then Grovyle and the hero are attacked during the time stream by Darkrai (which I'd really like to see a glimpse/indication of him, even if he's in the shadows).
Once this is completed, when you go back to the main game (after a day, so the following night), you explain to your partner that you received your memory back and explain everything that happened. They're ecstatic, and they ask you about Grovyle and Celebi and your adventures that you remembered. Then they get a little down, asking if you miss them now, and you're able to respond.
Small time skip (bc this post is already way too long), and one day Celebi shows up at the guild looking for you! She explains that the time portal has been repaired now that time has evened back out, and says that you can come to the future again. The player decides to go, but the partner decides to stay because they belong there, and the player truly belongs in the future. Cue tearful goodbye (pls animate a hug also that'd be great), and player travels to the Hidden Land with Celebi to find it (opening up another section like the memories one so the player can still hang out in the present and do missions and stuff—no obligation to go forward).
They travel back to the future, and while it would hypothetically look the same as the past since the paralysis is gone, I think it'd be great to show the passage of time with the ruins being a little more decayed and overgrown w/ vegetation/etc. Maybe Dialga visits them and bids them hello.
Celebi takes them back to the mainland where the others have settled, maybe Treasure Town but I think it would be nice to see anew settlement instead. Cue tearful reunion with Grovyle (another animated hug pls), but then gasp! Dusknoir's there too!
I want there to be full explanations on how everything's going on—did they form an exploration team? Are they managing their town? How are they adjusting to non-post-apocalyptic life? (With a whole story arc on learning to trust Dusknoir again since he's been redeemed, I will accept no other option, Nintendo. Give me wholesomeness with that old man.) I want them to go on adventures again with the hero and them all be happy. Then I want them to go visit Treasure Town to find out that your partner has become the Guildmaster since Wigglytuff decided to retire/go exploring on his own again (with or without Chatot, maybe depending on how severely his wounds from Kabutops/Omanytes limited his exploration abilities, idk). Wrap it all up in a nice little bow.
I'd love it if you also had the option to return the player to a human or not, too, but I don't really know how you'd execute that other than another wish from Jirachi maybe—but we never really got an explanation on how the player was turned into a human in the first place (which I would absolutely want—did Arceus do it to protect them?), so I think it would potentially work, though I'm sure some people wouldn't be a fan of that idea since being a Pokemon is one of the main premises of the games.
Anyway...you can tell I spent far too much time thinking about this. Feel free to add any more ideas with reblogs or comments, I'd love to hear what y'all think! :)

Cyrus Borg & Pixal
Warnings: robot injury.
The ninja rarely called him regarding Pixal—usually she contacted him herself—so when he recognized the call as coming from Master Wu, he put an important politician on hold to answer at once.
"Hello?" Cyrus said. "Is something wrong?"
"It's Pixal," Wu said. "She's injured."
His gut twisted. "How bad?"
"Unsure. She's conscious, but acting erratically. She won't let Jay or Nya look at the damage. She's asking for you."
That was all he needed to hear.
"I'll be there as soon as possible," Cyrus said. "Where are you? The monastery?"
"We're in Ninjago City. We haven't moved her."
He nodded. "What's the address?"
They were in the warehouse district. Cyrus confirmed the location and promised he'd be there soon. "Tell Pixal I'm on my way, alright?" he said, trying to keep his voice steady. "I have all my equipment with me, and I'll make sure she's alright. Tell her I love her."
"I'll pass on the message," Wu said. "I won't be there to meet you, but the others will."
The call ended. Cyrus informed his other call that an emergency had come up and disconnected without waiting for a response.
---
The warehouse had a hole blown into it spanning the ground floor to half the second, still smoking. Cyrus' heart dropped at the sight. "Keep going," he told his driver. "My daughter's hurt in there."
Zane and Nya met him at the entrance. "This way, Dr. Borg," Zane said. "She's still conscious, but she's stopped making any sense. She won't let anyone help her."
"Tell me what happened," Cyrus said, pushing himself with one hand and holding his supplies on his lap with the other. "What parts of her were damaged?"
"We're not sure," Nya said as they walked inside. The power was out, and she turned on a flashlight to light their way. "After the explosion, we found her rebooting herself upstairs. Her armor looked like it absorbed most of the shock, but her head was exposed. When she woke up, she was disoriented and couldn't tell us what happened."
Cyrus inhaled sharply. "Could be anything from a loose connection to something more serious. I won't know until I examine her." He paused. "You said she was upstairs?"
"I can carry you in your wheelchair," Zane said.
"Thank you."
His heart pounded as they ascended the stairs. Pixal would be fine. There was no damage he couldn't fix, short of total incineration, but—but Pixal was conscious. She was responding. She would be fine.
When they reached her, Cyrus couldn't restrain a distressed noise. Pixal was limp in Lloyd's arms, the green glow of her eyes fading in and out. She was rebooting, he realized, which only brought up more concerns.
"How many times has she rebooted?" were the first words out of his mouth.
Lloyd glanced at Nya. "Four times that we know of," he said.
"Including this one, I mean."
"Has anyone disturbed her during a reboot?"
"I mean, I caught her this time, but I figured it would be worse if she hit her head."
"No, you're right." Cyrus pushed himself over. "Lay her on her back. I'll have to wait until she wakes up."
Lloyd nodded. Cyrus got out of his chair to be closer to Pixal, taking in the damage. Her face had several cracks marring its surface, some worse than others, and her carefully rooted hair was in disarray. She had built the latest version of her body herself, commanding the machines of his factory from the computers she was bound to. Cyrus brushed over her bangs and a chunk of synthetic hair came out in his hand.
He looked around the room. Around them was an upturned table and a desktop computer laying screen-down on the ground. The explosion had done a lot of damage. He forced himself to look away.
When he returned his attention to Pixal, her eyes glowed green and stayed bright. Reboot complete. She blinked once and her eyes focused on him.
"Pixal," Cyrus said. "Pixal, can you hear me?"
Her lips moved. "Father," she said.
Cyrus exhaled. "Pixal, you were injured. Do you remember what happened?"
"No," said Pixal. "There are holes in my head."
His heartrate picked up. "Do you mean gaps in your memory?"
"Holes in my head," she repeated. "Father, something is—something is wrong."
She tried to sit up. "Lay there for me," Cyrus said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I need to examine you. Pixal, I believe it would be safest if you were powered down while I repair the damage. Can you do that for me?"
Pixal's gaze drifted to the ceiling. "There is data on my drive I did not…" She trailed off. "I don't remember where it came from."
Cyrus took her hand. "Pixal, I need you to power down. Can you do that, or should I do it manually?"
"I—" Her voice glitched for a moment. "I don't know. Something is wrong."
"We'll figure it out together." Cyrus managed to smile at her. "I'm going to open your control panel, okay? Zane is going to help me take your armor off."
Zane was beside him at once. "Tell me what to do."
Pixal didn't struggle or speak as they removed her Samurai X armor, but just as Cyrus opened her chest panel, her eyes turned off. Cyrus thought—hoped—for a moment that she had shut down like he asked her, but realized the next second that she was rebooting again. "Five times," he said to himself.
"The last few times she was conscious for longer," Lloyd said. "She was moving around a little, too."
"Not good," Cyrus said. He leaned back and ran a hand through his hair. "Not good. When she wakes up again, I'll tell her what we're doing, and then I'll have to shut her down manually."
They waited in tense silence for the reboot to complete. Cyrus kept Pixal's chest panel open, watching the lights inside blink and flicker. He didn't recognize any of the lights as abnormal, but it had been so long since he had to repair Pixal himself.
Pixal woke up. "Father," she said.
"Pixal," said Cyrus. "Do you remember what happened?"
"No," she said. "You are repairing me. Why?"
Cyrus sucked in a breath. "You were injured. You have been rebooting over and over again, and I need you to power down so I can fix you safely. Do you understand?"
She blinked. "Father, there are holes in my head."
"You're going to be okay," Cyrus said. "We'll find out what's wrong, and we'll make sure you're okay. I'm going to power you down now, Pixal. I love you."
Pixal's eyes found him. "I love you too, Father."
He found the button to power her down. The light in her eyes faded. Cyrus took a moment to calm himself before he began examining Pixal.
Her hard drive appeared fine. The more Cyrus examined her hardware, the more he began to dread the problem was internal. He glanced back at the broken computer.
"Tell me what happened," he said. "Pixal was upstairs, there was an explosion, and the power went out."
"The power went out first," Lloyd said. "It was out for a few minutes before the explosion. Not sure how long, though. Probably less than ten? Is that important?"
"Maybe. I'm not sure." Cyrus pointed at the computer. "What about that?"
"It was like that when we found her."
"Bring it to me."
Zane picked up the computer and at the sight of the wire trailing from it, Cyrus realized what happened. From the way Zane froze, he knew too. "That's Pixal's," said Zane, unplugging the wire and staring at it. "Was she plugged into it?"
"She must have been," Cyrus said. "Whatever you were doing in here, she must have thought the computers had relevant data, and when the power went out, she would have had to connect to them herself to read the information." He took a breath. "That's not good, but it's better than if we didn't know about it."
He opened up his laptop and, after a moment of hesitation, plugged a fresh wire into it and into Pixal. "You'll be okay," he said to her unconscious body. "I'll make sure of it."
Doubts prickled at his mind, even as he scrolled through Pixal's files. What if the damage was unfixable? What if the damage had corrupted her core personality? What if he woke her up and she became someone else?
He steeled himself. If that was the case, he would mourn the daughter he knew and love the new daughter he had.
He lay on the floor for over an hour while the ninja kept watch. Some of her code was corrupted, but it appeared to only be technical functions, nothing that influenced her personality or emotions; normally, she could fix them herself, but something was preventing her from doing so.
After the first fifteen minutes, Jay brought him a glass of water, which Cyrus rejected. "I'm not going to risk spilling it," he said. "She's gone through enough as it is."
Finally, he found the problem. Cyrus sighed in relief and looked up. "I know what to do," he said. "Something damaged the program she uses to repair her own code, and instead of functioning as it should, whenever she tried to run it, it failed and made her reboot. I can run it manually from here."
"From the laptop?" Zane asked.
"Ah, no. With the amount of data on her, it would take hours to run it off something as small as this. I'll have to bring her home."
Zane tilted his head. "Would my processors be faster?"
Cyrus paused. "Well, yes, but… the risk is low, but your own data may be damaged in the process."
"I'm willing to risk it."
Cyrus didn't argue. He gave Zane instructions on what to do and connected him to Pixal. Zane carefully lowered himself to the floor beside her and sat up stiff and straight as he ran the program.
He didn't know how long it would take. Cyrus sighed. "I'll take that water now, Jay," he said.
After about ten minutes, Zane returned to full consciousness. "It's done," he said. "Hopefully she's alright now."
"Hopefully," said Cyrus. He put down his water and returned to Pixal's side. "Let me look at her head one more time."
After disconnecting Zane, Cyrus finished the cosmetic repairs to her head as best he could with the materials on hand. "Her vision should be fine," he said. "Alright. Hope for the best…"
His hand shaking, he powered her back on and leaned back to wait. The process was slow. The glow in Pixal's eyes faded in and out for what seemed like hours, though by Cyrus' watch, it was only thirty seconds. She blinked and turned to face him.
"Father," she said.
Cyrus smiled. "Pixal, how are you feeling?"
She frowned. "Could be better, but I assume this is an improvement from my prior state. My memories are not all there. You were repairing me?"
He sighed in relief. "You certainly sound better. Your maintenance program was malfunctioning. I had to go into your code to repair the damage."
Pixal nodded, then sat up. "We're still in the warehouse," she said. "Lloyd, what happened?"
"The guy we were chasing blew up half the building," Lloyd said. "Probably to destroy the evidence or something. You were caught in the blast. You were conscious, but not coherent, and you asked for Dr. Borg."
"Understood," Pixal said. "We should return to the monastery and–"
"Pixal," Cyrus interrupted, "you were injured, and I only performed the most urgent repairs. I would like to continue your repairs at Borg Tower."
"I appreciate it, Father, but I'm fine."
"Pixal," Zane said gently, "we were all very worried about you. This is not a mission where the fate of Ninjago is at stake. Please take the time you need to recover."
"But…"
Cyrus took her hand. "Please, Pixal," he said. "I need to make sure you're alright."
She relented. "Okay," she said, and leaned over to hug him.
Cyrus gratefully accepted the gesture. "I love you, Pixal," he said. "I love you too, Father."

OK time to discuss some thoughts concerning the DLC/Eclipse. Obviously, spoilers ahoy
. So first and foremost, I really appreciate their voice mannerisms (prior to being rebooted) being about what we expected out of Eclipse. One talking and then the other talking, despite the body itself not changing. And then after being rebooted, that voice becoming soft and careful. There are many implications to what the change means, but I'll return to that thought later.
. Getting confirmation that the light isn't just a pesky nuisance but does, in fact, genuinely hurt Moon. More than that — the confirmation that the animatronics can feel pain at all! I've been writing my fics with this headcanon in mind the whole time, but it's nice to have it confirmed.
. THE TABLE W/ PLUSHES. I know a lot of the fandom has already decided that Sun was playing by himself (a hc that is incredibly sad on its own) but I've been thinking... wouldn't it be neat if this was a showcase of them playing with each other? If they're both stuck in this state of back-and-forth and communication is limited if available at all, wouldn't it make sense for one of them to set-up a scene and the other to finish it? Is it not even sadder that this might be the only way they can have any sort of real conversation?
. Their mouth moves. Their mouth moves??? Their mouth moves! I'm not for sure the exact reason for why it's hidden behind their mask, but I'm assuming it was put in place after they were reworked as daycare attendants. It makes sense that they would be able to move and talk like the glamrocks, especially while working theater, so my only guess is that they placed the mask over their face after reworking them to prevent young children from sticking their fingers between the moving teeth. As a former daycare volunteer (and a teacher of the 1st-4th grade), let me tell you, kids that age will put their fingers anywhere.
. Happy Birthday! I don't think this being their first line after having been rebooted has anything to do with the rebooting itself. Like, I doubt there's any real correlation beyond them recognizing that it's Cassie's birthday. Then again, Kellen Goff's tweet makes me think I could be wrong about this one. Who knows!
. OK OK OK so the way they switch between Sun/Moon when we're wearing the mask is really fun (as mentioned by twinanimatronics, Moon rocks while Sun twitches!) but I want to talk about how wearing the mask inside their bedroom makes it look clean, and the implications behind that if we see Sun while the mask is on but Moon while it's off. Does it mean Moon sees things how they are while Sun sees things how he wants to? (Sidebar, this will definitely be influencing how I write Sun's denial in DMD)
. On a similar note, the mask being on in their bedroom also shows Eclipse's face over their ceiling, but more than that, it shows their ceiling decorations (the painted on clouds, now almost entirely gone) moving, with trees swaying at the very corners. Is this a trick of the mask, or is this how they really saw the room? Was it built that way or did it just happen after years of being cooped up inside? ARGHGH there's just so much to think about with this one!!
There's definitely more but these are the ones rattling around in my brain the hardest. Let me know your thoughts!

Memory reboot
Masterlist
It all starts with his dark habsuit, no light on his own personal space before he enters and notices that, yes, there is indeed one, the one of your datapad, a new datapad, one that was supposed to be a surprise.
His shout of surprise and rightful mild anger makes you look back, trying to hide the new object with your body even when it is futile, he just saw you, what kind of excuse will you make now?
"That was supposed to be a gift!" his finger accused you while he looked how you rolled to the side, obviously trying to get away, "stop right there, little bean!", Oh, he is using nicknames, corny and old as fuck ones but his last encounter with humans back on earth was way before you were born, he isn't that mad then, it puts an stop to your escape before flashing him with a smile.
"Sorry, couldn't believe it, I thought you forgot again" he makes an exaggerated sound with his cooling vents, like a gasp, his back strut is a perfect 90 grades and it's obvious he remembers the mortification he suffered the last stellar cycle when you presented him a great collection of new human music, not that his taste in music was bad, more like all the bots aboard listened to very old songs that were still hits they were also way too old.
"What an offense" his body moves on top of the berth, servos and stabilizers applying pressure to the new, warm and soft mattress, keeping him above your resting place that looks so comforting, "you wound me if you think I would forget about it", I'll never forget again is what he wants to tell you, and maybe you know it in how your lips give a little peck on his face plate, leaving him speechless before returning to his cool persona, "so where is my gift?".
"Still not here till tomorrow", the mattress moves when you jump in it, Rodimus makes an overly exaggerated sound that could be similar to a child cry, crocodile tears, "or we could go travel", that part makes him light the entire room with a smile.
"I like that idea, if we weren't traveling around as it is", you look at him, not exactly with bedroom eyes, but seeing you sprawled on the soft bed, smiling like that with your gift in hands, is quite tempting enough and makes him feel giddy even when he is supposed to be mad since you spoiled your own gift, your legs trash around a bit and you pat the side next to you repetitively, "What is it?", there is a playfulness on his voice, and you answer with your own.
"You should rest, with me", now your whole body is against the fabric of the mattress, it's tempting, way too tempting, but he knows Magnus will give him a terrible speech about responsibility if he doesn't end his work now, of course you don't know about the pile of datapads back on his desk or you wouldn't invite him to cuddle.
And, damn, he wants to cuddle right now.
"I don't need to rest now, I'm not tired", he brushes off the notification that appears internally, systems telling him to recharge after two whole cycles of work, he'll never admit it but this was his fault, he was supposed to clear his schedule but the crew really needed this equipment and that high grade and it's just- it's difficult to multitask, okay? And he wants to be a free bot tomorrow to spend it with his conjunx endurae wholeheartedly even when you look worried, "I'll be fine".
As if that would stop you from caring for him, to this point he should have known better.
"Hm, but, Roddy, I'll be so lonely without you", ah, ah-no, hell no, you're doing this again, acting cute and everything, what's wrong with humans and their inhumane (ironically) ways of obtaining what they want from sincere and unprotected bots like him?! Worst of it is how you'll have the nerve to be mad if he babies you later! But if he doesn't take the chance now you'll act as if it never happened! So unfair! You notice his internal fight, of course you do but your merciless attack doesn't stop even when he puts his servo up, silently asking you to stop because his vox will glitch if he uses it now, nevertheless you are a bloody human that uses every deadly charm you can get, just like when you open you arms slightly along with flexing your legs, totally tempting in another level because you know this is doing things to him, "come curl in my arms so I can feel whole again"
OH-kay! This is it, he can see the notification of his system about to activate the gears to open his interface panel and the sound of his vents about to die from overuse, but he is a hard bot, he'll no crack by such an attack.
And you, little devil, who knows he is weak to you acting like- like-, "what? Are you trying to seduce me into healthy recharge patterns?" He is close to the door, if he gets to get out then this conversation can, hopefully, continue later, just a few steps more-
But no, it's almost funny how you get to read him and his actions so well, getting up and leaving the new datapad in what you call nightstand, just to take your blanket, the blanket; he could've run away when you did your little detour but he couldn't rip his optics away from your bare legs, the pijama shorts doing a good job in catching his attention, you may call him crazy but he is sure you use those in purpose, worst of it all? He loves those shorts, and he loves that blanket, is the one you use to sleep on him after cuddling or after marital duties (ones he accomplishes like a champ), and he knows that you know, the closed smile on your little face is prove enough, "why? Is it working?"
Rodimus is weak, he has always been weak when it comes to you, so he isn't surprised when hours later he is laying on the mattress, system rebooting back to consciousness, at least his body returned back from the mass displacement with it, the dreamy bliss of the aftermath accompanied with your gentle strokes on his neck cables make his pedes move by the overstimulation, and you know it, he hears your giggles when a moan comes out of his vox again by the right movement of your hands over his energon lines, suddenly your teasing movements stop after giving a kiss to his neck armor, his audial receptor can hear how the fabric moves as you put your clothes back on, climbing your way to his chest armor with your blanket in hand.
The soft hum of his ventilation system slows down, holding your body to his chassis, just were he can see you before and after recharge, "Happy anniversary", you say it almost as saying good night when the digital clock turns to midnight, you give a little kiss over the armor before dripping off to sleep with the blanket around you.
Rodimus just stays there, not moving, basking in this moment, remember the sensation of your body weight over him, knowing that once he closes his optics the simulation of the golden disk will end, yellow digits reach out to your now sleeping form, trying to touch your hair, your skin, or just feel the warmth of your body but they just go forward, the hologram can't retain it's form and he sees how it starts to fail.
"Yeah, happy anniversary", that's his voice but he hasn't activated his vox to say them, it's all a memory, a video of that night, one he has been indulging the past cycles, the simulation ends because this is the exact moment he entered recharge.
When it ends he is still on his habsuit, the one you two shared, the mattress is long gone because he couldn't look at it, he can't look at anything that was once yours without painting his grieving marks under his optics again, it was better than doing something more stupid or dangerous, he has already been doing stupid things for all this time.
He needs to keep going, he must, and to do so he is supposed to accept his lost, say: "Happy anniversary" to the nothingness even when this is the hardest date for him, memories of happiness that drag him down, memories of the second anniversary of your conjunx ritus, it's hard to believe you were here to celebrate with him your 14th anniversary when he is here right now, this was supposed to be the 15th, a total stellar cycle since he lost you.
And he still needs to keep moving forward.
.
Inspired by @lost-light-incorrect-quotes and this piece of work, it may be short but damn, those little and centered words give me some ideas that go wild quickly and sadder by the second because I like to cry over these things, it's good for the soul.
Accompany this one with VØX x Narvent song of the same name and you have this mess of mine.

As many other people have mentioned it, I'm just gonna put my 2 cents in here too cause why not. (This is about the double x eyed character.)
Also spoilers, duh
Tumblr media
There's been multiple instances where a whole separate character has been visible- I first noticed it from the merch poster. I'm on the side that believes that this is a whole new character that we've never seen before. Of course, the distinct double x'ed eyes is what stands out. When Nori is referring to DDs they're drawn with their classic large X on the visor. So where did this double x'ed drone come from?
Tumblr media
This is the one and only time that we see something close to it. When Braiden accidently shot another student with the arrow, a brief double X showed on the visor- after of course, we see the classic fatal error. As any theory (and even more so with murder drones) this has a lot of holes. But here's my crazy idea that I wanna pitch:
What if the double x'ed character is someone we already know... but is dead? A character that is confirmed/somewhat confirmed to be dead can return back to life, and their body forced to move by the absolute solver.
From the VHS tape, zombie drones can be any drone that JcJenson has created. They reboot from improper disposal or even simply by rejecting the destruction code that is used to disassemble a worker drone. But not every zombie drone is a potential absolute solver drone- it only manifests in an even smaller amount of zombie drones. Like seen with Cyn, she rebooted as a zombie drone and had a chat with absolute solver before allowing it to take control.
Going back to my theory, take a body of a dead drone (with no absolute solver in them) and use absolute solver to force it to function and fight for you.
Tumblr media
Like I said previously, this theory has crap ton of holes in it. For all we know, this double x'ed character could just be yet another absolute solver's form- given that we only ever see the head. Another factor that makes me rethink my entire theory would be when N was chatting with Uzi and one of his eyes stayed as a smaller x.
Tumblr media
Granted, the N and Uzi chatting scene is from the pilot. And as I've seen someone mention it recently- the same pilot where Lizzy's fingers decided to separate from her body just because. God I love this show. Alright I'll shut up now.
Feel free to add or even go against my theory, I love seeing what other things are out there. ^_^

The 2024 reboot no one was expecting...
Those of you who have been around for a while might just remember back when I did fanfiction, and if you do, you might remember the story of my Supernoobs OC Josh Carter, the aspiring social butterfly, future superstar and reluctant superhero whose life was getting way more complicated these days...
Back towards the end of 2019, I was really starting to lose steam with him; the inspiration I had for him was really starting to wane, especially given the fandom seemed to peter out and my previous partner-in-angst-crime Pumpkin (@whynotzoidbergdotorg) moved on to other creations. I've definitely missed creating fandom work over the past few years, but between not really finding anything to grab my attention in the same way and a series of setbacks in my life (not to mention the grind of growing my YouTube channel), things just happened to fall by the wayside.
But it seems I wasn't posting into the void after all! Josh and his story left a huge impact on the small but surprisingly resilient Supernoobs fandom, and over the past few months I've been pulled back in, thanks especially to @ghostlyapivorous' @superastral-official and @jaspydunks' @noobs-rewritten. So much so, that I've been re-motivated to return and at least continue (I don't think I should be presumptuous and suggest "finish") Josh's story. In addition to a few unreleased chapters from the original run, I've been working on continuing the story, and I've almost gotten to the end of Dancefest, where we originally left off.
We'll be picking up from there soon, but it didn't seem fully right to go back to using the old 2016 designs of our main cast — my artistic workflow has completely changed since then. So, it was time to give them all a glow-up. The primary goal was mainly to get them looking closer to the show's style, though I've also taken the opportunity to resolve a few longstanding annoyances with some of the characters and change some things up. Despite not being part of the main cast, I also decided to do an image for Zoey, given she's a pretty recurrent character in the series. Just like the first time around, expect to see new art of these kids in the future (though I don't think I'll spin up @joshcartersblog again).
Look out for the continuation of Josh's story very soon, but in the meantime, catch up on how Josh got here:
A Future Super-Something, the first story: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Perfect Disasters, the second story: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Over and Out, the third story: 1 & 2 3 4 5
Diamonds on the Rebound, the fourth story
Reminiscence, the fifth story
A Hero’s Prelude, the sixth story: 1 2 3
Dancefest, the seventh story (so far)
Text versions of everyone's descriptions under the cut.
Josh Carter
Josh Carter has only one goal in mind: becoming one of the popular kids. Enamored with fame and starry-eyed about celebrity, he's chasing the top of the Cornbury Middle School food chain with the help of his friends. Clever, ambitious, and seemingly carefree, he'll stop at nothing in his quest to rise to the top without losing himself, while making plenty of buzz along the way.
…But will something bigger and more destructive than the current popular clique or a mortifying social mishap stop him in his tracks?
Dreams of a social media-perfect lifestyle
Friends with Jock Jockerson despite not being a jock
His "walk-in closet" is practically a department store for one
The Yellow Superdude
As elusive as he is mysterious, the Yellow Superdude is the newest addition to Cornbury's local team of intergalactic virus warriors. But he doesn't seem too happy about having the opportunity of a lifetime; honestly, it seems like he doesn't get along with the other four at all. With the heroes already building local recognition and facing even bigger battles, can he ever become the hero the Earth needs — and does he even want to?
Alias: ???
Powers: Energy blasts, stretchy body, shapeshifting, possibly more if he ever actually went to training
Always has messy hair for some reason
Simon Parker
Josh's best friend since forever, Simon is the realist of the group. As much an inventive strategist as an easygoing wingman, Simon's a true ride-or-die in Josh's popularity adventures, turbocharging their social game while keeping his starstruck bro down-to-earth. They've been there for each other even in their lowest moments, including Simon's brutally public one last year. It's a trust that makes Simon unafraid to be honest with Josh. But despite all this, is Josh keeping a super-sized secret from him?
Enjoys the outdoors with his parents
Still recovering from a 7th-grade incident where he was dubbed "The Whale"

I'll preface this by saying I haven't read the arc where Bruce shoots and kills Darkseid; I'm fuzzy on the details. the sources I've looked up here and there whenever the topic came to my mind seemed contradictory; I get the impression there was collaboration from some other heroes and it might've not been that clear cut? either way, I'm not going to read the arc rn (might in the distant future, if I choose to do something with it), but it seems there's agreement that this was the one time Bruce canonically planned to and followed through breaking his most sacred rule.
and I remember at one point I thought: what if this plot was used to give Bruce a better understanding of Jason's choices? what if it could make him not just willing to find a middle ground between them, but intentionally seek it? it wouldn't, couldn't be blanket acceptance, but if there's one point in canon that will even nudge him way from his increasingly uncompromising stance during the post-crisis/new earth continuity (1), it would be the one time he found his line in the sand, and realised that, unlike he always feared, he could walk back from it.
at the time it was no more than a passing thought, but just today, to close that chapter with the year, I read the very last few comics including new earth!Jason, in my completitionist quest of reading every single one of his (and every other version of Jason's) appearances. and two (technically three) of them reminded me of this.
one is his arc in convergence: batman and robin #1-2, published circa 2015 (revisiting new earth after 2011's reboot). it's part of a larger event that I can't be bothered to read fully rn (this ain't about them), but the gist of it is that Red Hood and Scarlet return to Gotham as some apocalyptic level shit is going down, helping Batman and Robin (Damian). Bruce accepts Jason's help, which bothers Damian, although by the end of the arc there's a truce between them and a clear willingness from everyone involved to work together going forward.
the other one is in batman incorporated vol. 1 #6, the last proper appearance of new earth!Jason before the reboot in 2011 kickstarted (the arc seemingly continued in vol. 2, but from what I already know about, and what little I've personally experienced from, the new 52, I'm not getting my hopes up). it consists on just a couple of panels where we don't see Jason's face or hear his name, and just see Bruce recruiting someone as "Wingman" (2), offering him a opportunity to "salvage a reputation" by joining his international bat-initiative, on a few conditions like keeping Jason's identity a mystery (3).
and I'm sure that if (when?) I read the aforementioned Darkseid's arc (and the subsequent time traveling shenanigans) there might be plenty to be found to contradict this post, because I do have some experience with detective comics comics. but these two instances are so easily aligned with my own take (4) that I had to post about it.
unfortunately, this is just making me mourn what-could-have-been, had the reboot never occured, even more than I ever did.
(1) pre-crisis/earth one!Bruce had a different attitude. and sometimes it feels that things like self-defence (batman vol. 1 #400) or defence of others (detective comics vol. 1 #411), two incredibly understandable motives, seem beyond the grasp of new earth!Bruce.
(2) if I ever do something with this plotbunny, I refuse to give him such a generic codename, just so we're clear.
(3) "we're building a ghost –a bogeyman too big to be clearly seen. its edges indistinct, it's full extent and purpose uncertain. a rumor. a terror made of shadows and flapping wings." MOURNING, I said 😭. also do you see why I think this deserved a much cooler name smh.
(4) the other things Jason did in between Bruce's not-so-dead experiences and this were during his Evol Era (battle for the cowl, batman and robin vol. 1). obviously nothing there would convince Bruce to suddenly approach him with more generosity than he did even in UTRH lol. but it'd make sense for it to be something Bruce did.

Do you know Simons backstory?
I’ve always heard he had a rough childhood but I don’t know what exactly occurred
hi anon! yes when I was younger I had a whole phase and even had the comics at one point! I'll summarize a few things I've read on the wiki, read in the comics, and seen in summary videos :)
the backstory of simon "ghost" riley
┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊┊ ⋆ ┊ . ┊ ┊┊
a/n: It's a little complicated if you differentiate 2009 and the reboot MW2 as most of what we know is from '09 Simon's backstory! It hasn't been established if the reboot!Simon's story is the same (as there are many differences between both games. Also as you'll read later, I cut out the Roba storyline as it is quite long but I may make a separate post if there's interest
warnings: mentions of drug use, physical and mental abuse, death, violence, and overall mature themes! the comics are also extremely graphic so please be warned if you decide to read them (the link is below)

Okay so first it's canon Simon grew up in Manchester with his mother, father, and younger brother, Tommy
From the comics, they establish he had an awful childhood: his father (which I'll go into later) was emotionally abusive (with some physical abuse implied), his mother was compliant with her son's abuse, and his younger brother would scare young Simon but looking over at him on the bottom bunk while wearing a skull mask
His dad had the reputation of being called 'Bones' due to his mom saying, "He'd want to stand out" while going to English punk band concerts
In one instance when he was 8, his father brought home a snake
He told him it would kill him if he moved and then encouraged Simon to kiss it
Also, this is when we see there is a complicated relationship between the two sons as Tommy is fully sitting on his father's lap and encouraging this torment for his older brother
Another time we see that Simon was the brute of this abuse was when his brother would lean down from the top bunk and taunt young Simon while wearing a skull mask
This eventually brings us to one of Simon's most prominent memories: The Bone Lickers concert
After his mother accused his father for never being around, Simon's father takes him to a concert
We can see Simon is having an awful time due to the loud music, drugs, and general chaos from the crowd
Then in the middle of the set, his father leaves Simon alone with a prostitute while he goes off with a woman to the bathroom to do drugs (presumably heroin)
Simon leaves to find his father in a stall where the woman throws up blood then proceeds to overdose from the drugs
His father tells Simon that she, "died with a smile" and then encourages him to laugh at her dead body
Following this, not much is known except that he was an apprentice butcher until the September 11 attacks which prompted him to join the military
There is then a time skip to 2003 when he returns home (and takes temporary leave from the military) to find his mother abused and being constantly cheated on and his brother addicted to drugs
He finds his brother and brings him to the clinic (in the process, fighting off some of his brother's drug addict "friends" where Tommy was staying)
He also confronts his father in 2004 at a pub/concert and beats him before throwing him out and telling him that he will take care of the family from now on
After his brother overcame his addiction, he married a woman, Beth, with Simon as his best man
Tommy and Beth eventually has a son, Joseph, who becomes Simon's only nephew
NOW there's the entire Roba storyline (which includes Simon getting tortured and his squad getting brainwashed) that I will not get into now but let me know if you want more details in a separate post!
Eventually, Simon does return home after his ordeal with Roba and his mother tells him that his father is dying of cancer
Also during this time two brainwashed soldiers who were with Simon during the Roba mission, track him down to a holiday celebration with his mum, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew
After an ambush from one of the men, the other brutally kills the family (with the exception of his father in the hospital) and the blame is pinned on Simon
Simon eventually confronts his dying father but his father exhibits no remorse and even retells the story about the prostitute's death (one of the contributing reasons to Simon's nightmares about seeing skulls and laughing at them)
Following this, it's implied that the men who killed Simon's family finished the job with his father
After Simon killed both the men who killed his family and the man who tortured him, he is recruited by General Shepherd to join the 141
And that's all! There is more with the Roba story but these are the major events with his family. Below are some links that I used when writing this summary:
Simon "Ghost" Riley wikipedia page
Inkslasher's summary video of Simon Riley
Modern Warfare 2: Ghost comic
Thank you for reading through as well as the anon who requested! If there's any info I missed or anything that is incorrect please let me know :)
