#additional lore before i forget

[lilblucat]

Had some ideas for a Solver flesh-based fankid for them (using the arrow creature Uzi made for reference). Had to set this in my existing parent AU since I've already poured a lot of thought into that. I would imagine that she looked like a blob with an eye when she was born, and then shifted her body over the years to approximate what her parents look like. So she has the drone shape to her with Solver flavoring.

(Also lowkey wondering if maybe the hook on the tail should come out from underneath instead since the needle on Disassembler tails comes out from underneath. Idk she might look a little too demon-ish and wondering if a retake on the tail tip would help things)

#murder drones #nuzi fankid #murder drones oc #additional lore before i forget #yeah she is like biologically Uzi's kid or something??? #she's not N's in that sense #they're not related like that but they are father and daughter #her creation was absolutely traumatic on Uzi though #also yes Colt is also here #no name for her yet I figure N would've named her something he thought Uzi would like but idk what that is yet #and with her I just lack a purple eyed fankid for them #i forgot the Solver thing had yellow eyes so she doubles for having Ns eyes lol #akita doorman

Eldritch Everyone

I have read fantastic stories where Obi Wan/ the Jedi are Eldritch creatures and other stories where the Clones are Eldritch, because of Kaminoan experiments. Let's merge the two with a twist. 

The twist is they are different types of eldritch beings who do not know the other is Eldritch. 

As always disregard any established lore that contradicts this. 

With the clones it is because of Kaminoan experimentation. It will never be quite clear what the Kamnioan’s were trying to do…or if they accomplished their goal. But the Kaminoan experiments on the Clones (with the exception of Boba Fett) genome connected with…something beyond. Something they had no idea what to account for. 

For the Eldritch Clones I am taking heavy inspiration from the incomparable Quarra’s The Force of my Love.  The Clones are a hivemind, existing paradoxically as part of the hive and individually all at once.  Their forms are nigh on indestructible and mutable, meaning they can shapeshift (they, in fact, make the choice to keep Jango Fett’s face and shape as their ‘main form’-partially due to spite, partially because the Kaminoans expect it). They are able to travel instantaneously to any clone that is part of the Hivemind(by contrast this instantaneous travel is limited to only to other members of the hivemind).  Unlike Quarra’s clones they cannot tell the difference between Sith and Jedi(for reasons that will be elaborated on later). They have eidetic memory which, combined with the hive mind, means that what one knows all of them know and none of them ever forget.  This version of the clones have no particular connection to Mandalorian culture, nor any other culture, save perhaps the Jedi (The propaganda that they are created for the Jedi still exists and frankly pales in comparison to how awesome the Jedi actually are). 

The Jedi are Eldritch through their connection to the Force, which is sentient (by certain definitions) but so utterly alien to anything on the mortal plane that there is no direct comparison. Now it needs to be made clear from the first that it is not just Force sensitivity that makes one Eldritch, the connection to the Force is just not strong enough.  There are additional rituals that the Jedi, and the Sith of Old, go through to become what could be considered Avatars of the Force (specifically the Light Side for the Jedi). These rituals were passed down from before the split between Sith and Jedi.

I say Sith of Old here, because Bane, in creating his rule of two, did away with many of those rituals (never realizing their worth) because several of them required more than 2 participants.  There are three rituals in particular that apply here. First is a ritual to allow oneself to fill completely with the Force (making themselves, for a lack of better terminology, larger than their mortal forms), which Bane kept as he believed it simply made one more powerful (and could be accomplished alone). The second ritual, also one that Bane kept, helped to hide the Banite Sith from the Jedi(it also disguised what was happening to the Banite Sith due to the first ritual, even from themselves), though that had always been a side effect of the ritual, not its intended purpose; this ritual is the reason that the Clones cannot sense Jedi and Sith seperately. The third ritual makes one a conduit of the Force (letting the Force pass through oneself) which Bane did away with. It is important here because mortal beings are not meant to be filled to the brim with the Force, without the release valve of the second ritual it causes them to rot from the inside out.   This is important because by the old definition of Sith, the Force Cult that has dedicated themselves to being the Avatars of the Dark Side of the Force, there has not been a Sith since Darth Bane (barring one exception) and why the Banite Sith tend to rot while still living, the longer they are immersed in the Dark Side.  Dooku did not rot because he had done the rituals as a Jedi, though he had not dedicated himself specifically to the Dark, so he never took on the title of True Sith. Ventress, through her training with Ky Narec, had also completed most of the Jedi rituals, meaning she was not a Sith but as closer to it than Palpatine. It was actually Maul who, in growing up submerged in the Dark like he had been, accidentally completed a version of the lost second ritual, and became a True Sith in the old meaning of the word. 

These rituals are meant to immerse a Force Sensitive in the Force itself, giving the connection more strength than it would have otherwise.  The Force abilities that we see the Jedi, and the Sith use, are because of the Rituals and why those that do not go through either version have much subtler/weaker abilities. It also means that the Jedi (and the Sith of old+Maul) give off the eerie impression that, no matter the size or species, they are somehow so much larger than they appear. That there is something beneath their skin trying to get out. Also being plugged directly into Force in the way that they are skews the way they view reality.   It can be hard for the Jedi to connect with beings that are not at least a little Force Sensitive and the Jedi care deeply, but sometimes cannot see what the actual problem is (saying ‘there is no death there is only the force’ is not meant to be a trite saying nor do many of the Jedi quite understand why it is not as comforting as they think it is).

At the beginning of the Clone Wars, both the Jedi and the Clones hide their eldritch nature from each other. Both groups had experienced how showing their nature to the wrong people can break minds and they had no wish to hurt the other. 

The first sign that something was…strange was how in sync both groups were.  The Jedi marveled that the clones never cringed at the sight of them (and that which moved under their skin when they lost focus). The Clones were ecstatic that the Jedi never questioned when they had knowledge they should not have, nor the few occasions when multiple clones spoke from the same mouth.  

Nat born officers would make comments, not directly but meant to be overheard, how the Jedi Padawans grew more ‘other’ every time they visited the Temple on Coruscant. The clones would only stare blankly, to them it seemed like the Padawans were simply growing into themselves. 

Various Jedi and clones began to fall into love (Familial, romantic, sexual, platonic, and other).  It is Depa Billaba and Gray who first confess, and in confessing reveal their respective natures (Depa is the one who made the first move-as soon as the Clones knew of the Jedi’s nature they each sought out their Jedi).

The main reason that Jedi do not get in romantic relationships with non Force Sensitives (and Padme has no Force Sensitivity) is that theri nature pushes them to connect at the deepest level they can with their loved ones.  This can mentally damage non Force Sensitives.

For Obi Wan, if Cody had not confessed, Obi Wan never would have.  He had tried, before, to have romantic relationships with non force sensitives. A few times he had even managed to deny his own nature until the relationship dissolved naturally (Obi Wan, like most Jedi could be…odd, even when trying to fit in). It had become clear through his life that it just was not worth the pain to act on those kinds of feelings.  The knowledge that Cody could bond with him fully, was interested in him both romantically and sexually was a joy. Obi Wan was not even off put that by dating on clone, he was in affect dating all of the clones at once (who were also dating other Jedi)

Sometimes the Clones and Jedi switched partners. For instance Mace Windu, who was primarily dating Ponds, loved the Theater, which Ponds was ambivalent about but Bly also loved the theater (which Aayla actively disliked). So Bly and Mace had a standing monthly date night to a variety of theaters all over the galaxy, and at least once a year end up acting in a performance. Or how Fox was one of the only Clones that was not bored stupid at the Anniversary Ball, a pretentious event of a small but rich mid rim planet to celebrate the ratifying of a treaty, that Obi Wan is required to go to every year (even the years he was actively at war). So Fox is Obi Wan’s date, while Cody and Vos (who primarily dated the Coruscant Guard), would use the night to break up some kind of ring(slavery, drugs, smuggling, etc.)

Rex found that he fit neatly into Padme and Anakin’s relationship, somehow providing a stabilizing influence on their bond.  Padme and Anakin had bonded after the first battle of Geonosis but it was a case of Anakin being young and stupid and reckless, and Padme not actually understanding what Anakin was talking about when he tried to explain the risks (She thought he was saying that it might hurt her, and she was reassuring him that she trust him to be careful. He thought she was saying that she knew about the risks and was Force Sensitive enough to not be harmed).  There was already some damage done to  Padme’s mind (mostly in terms of willpower, personality, and impulse control) by the time Rex joined the bond, and not all of it was correctable, but most was. 

It is not the Jedi and the Clones that disrupt Palpatine’s plans (though the chips never worked, so eventually they would have). It was Dooku, Ventress, and Maul. Maul was the first True Sith, though it was accidental, in almost 1000 years. Dooku knew what it meant to be Jedi/Sith in the original sense and could tell that Palpatine did not. Ventress, like Dooku, had gone through the Jedi versions of the rituals (those rituals may have been passed down since before the split, but time had caused a bit of difference).  Because Palpatine has the deeper connection to the Force but not release valve, for lack of a better term, he is more immediately powerful but in the long run is doing far more damage to himself than he realizes.  Sometime before Maul would have gone after Satine, he encounters Ventress, who recognizes him as an actual Sith and brings him to Dooku. 

These three decide that they are going to destroy Palpatine (for being a Pretended Sith) and rebuild the actual Sith Order with the full Sith rituals. Maul is a bit surprised to realize that he, by himself, is more than a match for Palpatine (Since this was the man that had tormented him since childhood; he always had the picture that Palptine was bigger than life). Dooku then publishes all of the wrong doings he knew of from Palpatine’s entire circle-CIS and Republic alike- (and he knew about 80% of what was eventually uncovered). Then all three of them fuck off to Morriban to begin their research into resurrecting the Sith Order. 

The Jedi Order and the Clones collectively decide to let them, on the basis that at least they know where the three Sith are and it keeps them busy.

I love your personality for dottore’s character! I like how he demonstrates his intelligence in a way that is not overbearing and cocky and how his actions have deep meanings behind them and not just for his satisfaction like most interpretations. how do you go about making such a character? Is it from purely your own perspective or is it influenced by other characters,books,philosophy concepts or any other piece of media?

Hi!

Some of his character is a personal interpretation but it’s based on a foundation from several other analyses and canon material that we have from the game.

Namely, some of the following Reddit threads:

Sadist or Scientist?

Dottore as a Villain and Sumeru’s Dysfunction

The Heresies of Il Dottore

There’s also a very long thread in this sub that’s living rent free

Along with the manga where we get a few crumbs for Celestia lore/Dottore’s perspective on allogenes, the Archon quest voicelines and Scara’s character quest, and Zandik’s notes found in the overworld.

@/ellalalala and localplaguenurse and haeresysabound also have their own analyses that prove really helpful and look at different facets of his character.

Most of it is a logical progression of how someone like him would think. He’s rational, observed before he acts, and doesn’t so much predict as follow the logic behind someone’s previous patterns of behavior. He’s arrogant to a fault but it’s posturing; a lot of people display that kind of behavior in the real world.

Most of the time, I start with a situation and, based on all of the above, I play, “what would Dottore do?”

He’s ultimately insatiably curious, chasing knowledge for the sake of it, just to see what happens.

Machines help him to understand the world and his interpretation of it. It goes to show how detached he is to consider a human body is nothing but a machine of its own, capable of surpassing the divine.

He’s more human than anyone because he seeks to understand and push the limitations; humans are naturally curious creatures who long to make the world better and leave a legacy behind.

But it’s not chaotic. It’s not The Joker style of curiosity where it’s bombastic and wild, a twisted version of a joke.

I’d argue that Webtorre is The Joker while Omega and in-game Dottore is Scarecrow.

And this is where myself (and others) differ because I do not think Dottore is a sadist. That he wants to harm people. It’s very obvious in several notes that, while not signed, are written in a manner that you know it’s Dottore. There’s one that lists several subjects and he considers the actions taken by a subordinate (I think it’s torturing one of them? Something drastic, will check) to be a waste of resources.

Is he apathetic? More than likely.

Does he enjoy seeing others suffer? Probably not. Why else would he be looking for a cure for Elezar, even as a byproduct to understanding the Withering?

He would probably actually be a failure at relationships precisely because he doesn’t know how to connect with people. If he would want to pursue a meaningful connection, there’s a lot stacked against him between trust issues built up over centuries, a detached worldview, and more than likely, a skewed sense of self (he’s arrogant but to a fault where he’s clearly still sensitive about how no one but himself sees him as a scholar). So many of the meaningful reasonings to his actions stem from this in particular.

My personal suggestions for additional insight would be:

Most renditions of the Scarecrow from Batman. How he sees fear is how I imagine Dottore understands knowledge. The more you have of it, the less you can fear, the better to understand the world around you.

I’ll put more here as they come to mind, because I’m definitely forgetting others at the moment.

#thank you for this! #dottore #il dottore #one day I will write an essay that additionally condenses all of this #there’s so much lore that needs to be extrapolated lol #but I am under a time crunch rn and this was what my brain spit at me

[sparring-spirals]

I got to say I really liked the episode (despite only having watched exu calamity of the exu series) and I think maybe Matt needed a breather after so many fast paced, lore filled episodes.

however, I am kinda bummed that the fcg processing has been put on hold for (at least) two weeks now and that means that, despite them being great actors that truly merge with their characters at the table, their reactions will be much less raw and there’s a chance some of them will forget tidbits of information, emotions they felt when it happened because they (as role players) will have had time to process it out of the game and it might create a dissonance in the game. tbf I kind of felt the difference even between the end of ep 91 and the beginning of 92 but it made sense because technically they were still running and couldn’t afford to process. idk. I have hope that we’ll still see that raw emotion, but I fear it won’t be as impactful as it could’ve been, especially if they’ll have to put the “reporting for duty” hat on immediately when they get to the camp

I think being a little bummed about the sort of unexpected hiatus on the Bell's Hells/Post F.C.G processing is super understandable! As someone who also really did enjoy the Crownskeepers return (hello im still yelling about Opal internally), I'm kind of in the same camp of being kind of thrown/disappointed about not getting to really dig into/sit with the Bell's Hells post-F.C.G loss. Like, LOVED the Crownkeepers, fascinating second half, kind of meh on the specific timing.

I'm holding my reservations about whether they're going to have to keep running/moving once we return to their portion of the story, since hey, until it happens (or doesn't!), we don't know, so I don't feel like getting too in my head about it until then.

That said! I do think that in general the cast puts characterization and staying true to the emotions of the character/story as a very high priority within the campaign. I think you're right that it won't be the exact same as if they had done a big emotional blowup/goodbye/processing scene in the same ep where they lost F.C.G, or immediately after. I don't think that means it has to be less impactful, just that- yeah, they'll have had more time to actually think/process it.

But they're also all professional voice actors who have, IMO, thus far shown how much they think about the inner lives of their characters and enjoy really digging deep into the emotional/interpersonal aspects of roleplay.

My assumption (my hope?) is that with additional time to think about + process a devastating/deeply emotional loss for their character(s), they'd choose to lean into that more, and not less. It wont be the same as the immediate raw reactions, thats true! But i dont think that means it has to be less impactful, even if they (as people) have had more time to process, and will be choosing how their characters, fresh off the loss, react. I dont think thats a guarantee it will be less impactful/emotional (maybe the additional thinking would actually enhance the reactions being true/insightful to the characters vs gut reactions from cast), but it will be different.

But if the cast chooses to lean into the heartbreak/emotions, and the circumstances of the BH in the upcoming ep enable it, I'm sure they can still kick my ass (emotionally), timeskip or not.

In general, I'm cautiously optimistic about what could happen next! Even if I don't love the timing thus far. I think there's still plenty of ways for me to get what I'm hoping for wrt F.C.G/BH. :] There are plenty of ways for me to get let down too, probably, but until it happens, or doesn't, I'm opting to not get too doomery about it. We'll see.

I uh. Hope that helps? A bit? Being bummed about specific things you were hoping for being off the table is totally reasonable. just hoping to lend an alternate way of viewing it, if desired.

(i wrote the sentence: "don't be lamenting your chickens before they hatch" and then went "what the fuck" out loud. i spent 4 hours at work today just doing systems diagramming and my brain is fried. clearly. keeping this here for my own entertainment.)

#im kind of tired im sorry if this makes no sense lmao. i appreciate the ask! sorry if my answer comes off as flippant. i do get where you're #coming from and wanted to share how im personally choosing to approsch it haha #critical role #cr spoilers #c3e92 #bell's hells #spar speaks #ask away! #speculation #fcg #imo its like how we probably wont be getting situations like marisha shellshocked live tweeting after jester saved beau with a cupcake #but we get the cast doing sneaky little tweets before the episode airs but after theyve already experienced it #different for sure. doesnt have to be worse. thats more up to personal opinion i think #i fully wrote that chicken thing and went. thats the idiom right. and then stared at it and went. ... no. its not. #should i have waited to answer this ask? maybe. but oh well. #i should probably get some sleep though

Friend and I had lunch and here's some of the stuff we discussed *here's another really long headcanon that spawned from this day*

Price is just a bad driver, he makes his passengers fear for their lives. Ghost is bad because he was simply never taught properly. Soap drives like the girlies: hits a curb and just "oops". Gaz is the best driver, and not just compared to them. He's genuinely a good driver.

Ghost is the standard for the team's mental stability. That's a very low bar.

Gaz has only sisters and uses his privileges as the only son to his advantage.

Gaz is a secret nerd. He has a dice collection, collects cool/rare designs for traditional game cards, once cosplayed as his tiefling bard character during a convention. Pictures of it exist somewhere and were really good.

Soap has a niece that is very into FNAF and so he knows all the things. He also has very strong opinions about the lore and whatnot.

Tommy was a dinosaur kid, Simon was willing to listen to Tommy ramble about dinosaurs. *inspired by me seeing a little dinosaur figurine and, in a gremlin voice, going "dinosaur!"*

Ghost loves to journal. It's part of what helped him with his recovery after losing his family and everything that happened.

An addition to before, Ghost never got true therapy. He just read a lot of self-improvement books and did like mental help guide journals for a couple of years. When approached about how he had to "therapy" himself, he simply states "like I've done my whole life"

Soap actually feels awful when people gift him nice art supplies cause he has a really bad habit of breaking pencils/pens/markers and losing sketchpads/having them be damaged. Part of it is he tends to forget which ones are the expensive ones and will pack whatever he finds.

I've seen Many people say that Forever is not suitable for president because he is very unstable, but even tho I agree that his impulsiveness is one of his weaknesses People exaggerate a lot.

Forever is not good at debating and this is obvious from the beginning of the series, plus he always speaks loudly which implies that he is always angry or stressed about the situation, but most of the time it's not true, it's just the way he speaks, his English doesn't help either and he ends up saying things he wouldn't say in Portuguese causing many misunderstandings . And every time someone wants to say that he is unstable, they mention Leo's case (usually saying that he tried to kill her but he didn't even come close to doing that) And they forget that the people of the island only know that this happened because he talked about it, even though Foolish and Leo said that it could be a secret, He was the one who spread what happened and went to ask forgiveness even for vegetta who didn't even know what had happened. He has a heart of gold and is always trying to protect everyone since he realized how dangerous the island is, but his good deeds are always ignored, which is very frustrating.

It is also good to remember What Forever has already done for the server and intends to do so far The egg hotel ( N.I.N.H.O ) I think everyone can agree that it is the best community building on the server and has already helped save the eggs several times ( like yesterday), It is one of the only ways to save eggs in extreme cases like yesterday's explosion (which could have killed Richarlyson and Pomme) or a code attack, also serving to revive eggs that died far away and that no one would have time to reach them.

In addition there is also the lore museum that would help new people and inactive players a lot to understand what is happening on the island, the Colosseum that would have pvp events, Community villagers, safe zones, etc. I hope their ideas are put to good use even if they don't win the election. Forever is working hard for the security of the island even before the elections, But I always see people underestimating his Capacity.

why do people still spread around that yellow is a gl’s weakness if it hasn’t been for like… a while according to some gl fans

Is there a comic that i missed? is it just a weakness that hasn’t been remembered in a while?

Tldr: The yellow weakness has not existed since the establishment of Kyle Rayner as the singular Green Lantern back in 1994.

A brief history of the Green Lantern ring’s yellow weakness

The yellow weakness was introduced in the same issue as Hal: Showcase #22. According to Abin Sur, the former Green Lantern of sector 2814, “once you have the battery you will have power over everything–except what is yellow!” From this point onward, Green Lantern comics would not let you forget this fact with almost every issue saying some variation of “Editor’s note: due to a necessary impurity, Green Lantern’s ring is powerless over anything yellow!” This explanation is similar to one presented in Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn (1990), the post-crisis rewrite of Hal Jordan’s origin with one major change, discussed below.

While Green Lanterns cannot directly affect anything made of yellow (or surrounded by “an invisible yellow aura” such as the Shark), their constructs can indirectly affect yellow objects. For example, Hal would not be able to make a baseball bat to bat away a yellow cloud, but he would be able to make a fan to blow away the yellow cloud. In addition, because yellow is based on how it appears, various tricks are used to make yellow into green.

The yellow weakness is treated as a necessary and essential aspect of Green Lantern lore, and thus not questioned, until the psychodrama arc in Green Lantern (1960) #166 - 170. At this point in the timeline, Hal is well into his “space exile” arc, i.e. the time that the Guardians forbid him from returning to Earth for a year after he put his home life above his responsibilities as Green Lantern. The psychodrama was a way of testing Hal’s loyalty after Myrwhydden, a wizard trapped in Hal’s power ring, put him in a trance like state (Green Lantern (1960) #164). In this “psychodrama”, a rookie Green Lantern dies because her ring is unable to work against yellow. This, in addition to Green Lanterns learning that the Guardians had rings that could work against yellow and was withholding them for an unknown reason, caused several Green Lanterns to rebel against the Guardians. Hal is immediately against these rebel Green Lanterns -showing his utter devotion to the Guardians at this point. Eventually, the rings without a yellow weakness are revealed to make their users evil, and Hal proves his devotion to the Guardians, allowing him to exit the psychodrama. While the exact details are not necessary in this discussion, this is the first time that the yellow weakness is treated as not something completely necessary and more like a conscious choice on the side of the Guardians.

The yellow weakness especially became important at the end of Englehart’s Green Lantern Corps run (Green Lantern (1960) #201-224). At this point, the Green Lanterns agreed to execute Sinestro for genocide, but as they executed him, we learn that a billion years before the Guardians had made a pact that no Guardian or agent of the Guardians (aka the Green Lantern Corps) could murder a male Korugarian without the yellow impurity taking control of the Central Power Battery, causing the destruction of the Green Lantern rings, Oa, and eventually, the Universe itself. When the Green Lanterns execute Sinestro, the Green Lantern power battery almost becomes a black hole that would suck in the whole universe as the yellow impurity takes it over, but Hal Jordan enters the power battery and stops it from exploding.

Now, as I said earlier, in the mid 80s, there began to be question about the true essential nature of the yellow impurity, and this question became full on disbelief in the late 80s/early 90s. In Secret Origins (1986) #36, Hal says, “My ring has a built-in impurity—it won’t function on anything made of yellow! I suppose it’s a safeguard against any one Green Lantern becoming too powerful!” Hal very explicitly believes the yellow weakness was added to stop Green Lanterns from becoming too powerful and this is backed up by the events within the psychodrama and the flashback scenes in Green Lantern (1990) #19. In this issue, we see a flashback to a former Green Lantern of Sector 2814, a Green Lantern with no weakness at all-not to yellow like the corps, not to wood like Alan- who eventually went power-hungry. At this point, we see the wood weakness added to his ring, as the Guardians had already removed the yellow weakness as he was the Greatest Green Lantern of that time. 

In the end of 1993/beginning of 1994, Emerald Twilight was published. This story made Hal a living conduit of the ring energy and established Kyle Rayner as the last Green Lantern. The idea that the Guardians added the yellow weakness is the implicit subtext within Kyle Rayner’s run. From issue 51 onward, we see Kyle’s ring is different from the former Green Lantern rings; it has no 24 hour limit, it does not automatically protect the user, and most importantly for this discussion, it does not have a weakness to yellow.

There are a few different theories for why, in universe, this change happened. The most well-support theories are that

A.) Ganthet removed the yellow weakness while reforming the ring, so that the new user would have a chance against Hal.

B.) The Parallax entity leaving the central power battery, and taking root within Hal, caused the necessary impurity to no longer be necessary.

However, the actual reason for the change in universe does not change the fact that the yellow weakness was not necessary, it was imputed as a form of control, and it caused people to die. The yellow weakness has not existed since 1994, outside of flashbacks, but it is still an interesting aspect of Green Lantern history when not reduced to banana jokes.

The reason people still bring it up is because no one reads Green Lantern comics but Green Lantern fans.

I played Hades II a fair bit yesterday during my breaks and free time for Supergiant Games' technical test of the game. Part of me wants to keep playing today, but I got stuff to do and I do want to keep up the excitement for the early access. I wrote a rough, kind of unedited essay about it before I went to sleep last night though below, mostly for me to have record of my memories in written form. Some spoiler-y screenshots and random thoughts/analyses below if you want to read more. I mean it--there are spoilers and the most random long tangents because I like to analyze. (I do recommend playing first if you have a chance to)

First thing I'll say is that the game is pretty phenomenal and so damn fun. The experience reminds me of when I played Hades for the first time in their initial Early Access of the game years ago. Longtime Supergiant Games fan here (since Transistor release)! I remember running into a bug then and reporting it when I froze in-game, but I have not run into any noticeable bugs at all yet for Hades II. I've done some reports for minor bugs, but extremely minor ones that I actually feel bad for even reporting and adding to their list of messages to go through. Supergiant has their QA down, truly. I have so much respect for them and how they've developed the game. Darren Korb did an amazing job on the music again. It has that iconic Hades sound with the strings (that is not a guitar, I forget what it's called) while also being its own distinct soundtrack.

The 4th wall banter moments between Melinoë and Homer (who is revealed as narrator!) have been one of my favorite things about the story/narration execution. Her being cognizant of Homer does make it so there are rather funny moments, but also brings up the question of how that might shape the narrative later on. I'm so curious!

When I first started the game, I had a funny moment where I died almost instantly in the second room because I was testing out Melinoe's skillset and ran out of MP (?) and then got slapped because I wasn't actually doing damage when trying to use her bigger skills, heh. It did take me some time to get used to it, but Mel's skills and cast abilities are so much fun to use when utilized well. Her cast and its ability to hold your enemies for a time is one of the best upgrades to combat, in my opinion. For all I love the first Hades, I remember having to dash like crazy to escape exploding carts coming after me if I didn't have a good boon to mitigate or avoid that. With the cast for Melinoë, it'll change that to placing strategically some casts that can hold quick enemies or enemies that are very dangerous if they get close to you (wailers in this game are one such enemy). In terms of boons, Demeter's, Hestia's, and Apollo's have been some of my favorites. Aphrodite also has a phenomenal one for casts that will gather your enemies into your cast, making it an ideal combination with some devastating other boons that can easily damage groups of enemies all at once. Hephaestus also has a pretty fun one where I think he can explode in a certain proximity with your special or attack, I forget. I do wonder if they'll have to rebalance some of these boons because there are certain ones I can annihilate enemies with--but then again, maybe that is needed for later sections of the game.

The numerous references to the moon in the game are a nice nod to Melinoë's lore in Greek mythology and poetry too. Though she's more associated with being a goddess of ghosts (I find it a nice touch you can salute shades you meet in the Crossroads because of this) and nightmares (I don't think it's a coincidence Hypnos is the only other survivor of Hades' inner sanctum), Melinoë has at some point been referenced as a moon goddess as well of the underworld. Selene is the moon goddess and Artemis has also become known as a goddess of the moon in mythology in addition to being the goddess of the hunt. So that connection between the three and the friendship they share in the game is pretty cool in that regard (Selene calls you the "Silver Sisters.")

Having Artemis become your friend in Hades II, something akin to a friendly rivalry like Thanatos was to Zagreus, is such a fun story--and then you have Selene added into that mix as well. From the few runs I've done, I've gathered that Artemis and Hermes are the first of the Olympus gods who knew of Melinoë's existence in her youth as Hecate's pupil. She helped Hecate hide the truth of Melinoës survival (at least from the Olympus gods)--and when Melinoë was ready, it was only then that Artemis leaked through Apollo that Hades' daughter was coming to fight Chronos and had survived the fall of Hades. So the boons you get are because the twins, Artemis and Apollo, played a role in connecting you to Olympus for the fight against Chronos. There seems to be more in this background that I'm curious to learn about. Just from their banter, it's clear Artemis has spent much time with Melinoë and Selene in some form. I don't know if they have duo boons in this game (or boon-hex? Selene gives you a hex), but I'm curious to see what these two's duo boon(s) would be if they have them.

The game also does that thing the first game did so well of shifting the world as you progress and have changes in the relationships about you. Nemesis is one of the new characters in Hades II who doesn't seem to like you very much initially, but with your dialogue with Odysseus nearby, you get the sense that it wasn't always this way. When you gift her a nectar, Melinoë subtly starts calling her "Nem," and you can tell the two of them are very slowly mending whatever it is they have (Odysseus chuckles nearby probably seeing the progress). You also meet Doom Incarnate (Moros) and have to unlock having him at the Crossroads by invoking him, which is also pretty fun in terms of letting you slowly do more runs and experience the world more in order to gather enough "resources" to call him. It allows a natural progression of characterization and getting to know the people around Melinoë, in my opinion.

Dora's also one of my favorite character already. There's something so funny about Melinoë encouraging Dora as she tries to scare and haunt her as a proper ghost, but then also rather touching that she just accepts that Dora just likes to hang out in her room and not go out much. I love Arachne too, and how she's just chillin' like, I'm bored and alone and just spinning webs, so here Melinoë, have some clothes I made.

This game makes me love it as much as I loved the first one. In some ways, in terms of how they executed establishing background and connections between Melinoë and her companions (Odysseus' calls her a "little goddess" as a child! Hecate plays hide-and-go-seek with her!), I think they've started out much stronger than they did in the first game. And this one already starts with a sort of high-stakes situation from the get-go. Melinoë's entire family has been taken by Chronos and she grew up apart from them. The game does well of letting you step into the world even if you haven't played the first one--and playing on your affection for Hades, Persephone, and Zagreus if you did. After all, considering how hard you worked as Zagreus to bring back together that family in the first game, the second game logically comes back with a vengeance with Melinoë at the loss of such a family and a need for vengeance against Chronos for ruining it. The world feels familiar, yet the cast of characters are so different.

And the designs of all the new gods! And the new designs for the old gods! They're all extremely well-done. I've been a longtime fan of the artists for the characters and the environments. They've done stellar jobs on it again for this one, and there's more touches to icons and designs of the UI I like too. The dialogue log is one of my favorite things too, as someone who might miss a piece of dialogue here and there when I take off my headphones. The voice acting in this game is also a whole notch up from the previous game. Not to knock anyone from the first Hades, since I think they did a great job, but I do feel like the voices have been more professionally recorded this time around. Or something about it is a little more polished. Kudos to Supergiant for another game that's an A+ in my book thus far. Ahh!

I could keep going, but honestly, I think it's best to have people experience the game in Early Access. I mostly just wanted a record for myself to look back on for being a small part of Hades II's journey and share some of my excitement and the random analyses I had. It'll be fun for me to look back on how I read some things and how I felt when the finished version of the game comes out eventually.

Have you ever even heard of…

BECAUSE OH MY GOD SEARCH FOR THE LOST IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED GEM OF A FAN-MADE SONIC SHOW

Okay, allow me to give you some additional context before just bombarding you with all the many reasons why you need to watch this show.

Search for the Lost is a fan-made production created by Creative Planet Entertainment on YouTube. This shit has been around for 6 whole years, and it is such a good show! Made entirely out of g-mod screenshots/screen recordings and Sonic gameplay, Search for the Lost is a show about Silver the Hedgehog and his friends figuring out what Melhiles of all people is doing back in action, and why the fuck he’s working with Eggman of all people. Also, why is Infinite back… AND WHAT’S ALL THIS TALK ABOUT A PROPHECY!?

OH AND BLAZE IS HERE TOO!?!?

AND THERE’S THIS NEW GUY CALLED FORGE WHO IS LITERALLY THE BEST IN THE ENTIRE SHOW HANDS DOWN 100000P0/10 BEST BOI BEST ROBO BUDDY EVER HE’S SUCH AN IDIOT AND SUCH A HILARIOUS GUY HE’S LIKE THE ONLY ONE WHO MAKES GOOD JOKES HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST EVER I LOVE FORGE

Aight lemme just give a quick spoiler-free explanation about Forge because I know yall are looking at this like “Who tf is Forge?? Some kinda fan character or something??” Because… Yeah, he is a fan character, BUT A VERY GOOD ONE AND HIS DYNAMICS WITH EVERYONE WORK LIKE A CHARM I TELL YOU HE IS NOT JUST SOME RANDOM SONIC RECOLOR.

Cuz he’s a Metal Sonic recolor! 🤩 Haha, well to be fair, they literally call out Sonic recolors in the show with this fact. It’s in Forge’s story! Basically, Forge once worked with Silver in his bad timeline in Crisis City, but the ashes and the chemicals were too much for his small little itty bitty bird lungs. So, to keep himself from slowing everybody down, he managed to shove his consciousness into an old Metal Sonic model. A black-and-yellow one, kinda like the one from Archie except a lot less like Sonic personality-wise and a lot more like Sonic visually. With all these new robotic upgrades, Forge became a force to be reckoned with, and became one of Silver’s bestest friends after the whole Iblis thing. Oh, and he ships Silvaze like it’s nobody’s business, so that obviously gets an A+ from me lmao

I may have gotten carried away with that explanation and maybe there’s some spoilers in there but it’s late and I’m sleepy so you’ll only know if you watch the show~! ✨🙂

Seriously tho. This show is very underrated. I’ve been keeping tabs on it for years now, ever since episode 5 came out! Trust me, that’s a long time. They have their plates full when it comes to personal things and it’s a big project so episodes come out after a long time in production.

There are only 7 episodes so far, but each episode is jam-packed full of lore and giving us more questions on top of every answer! It brings back characters we haven’t seen for a long while, and it always provides a reasonable explanation as to why some of them have been gone and why some just like. Cut contact or something. There’s characters from previous games, from Sonic X, from Archie, from IDW, BRO WE GOT GAMMA IN HERE BAYBEEEEE IF THAT AINT FREE REAL ESTATE IDK WHAT IS.

AND DON’T FORGET HEAVY AND BOMB FROM KNUCKLES CHAOTIX. PLEASE. PLEASE DON’T FORGET ABOUT THEM THEY’RE HERE TOO AND THEY’RE LOVELY

So. Please. Please just watch this show. Please look at all the additional content with Forge on their channel too, it’s fucking hilarious! Just… I wanna talk to someone about this show who isn’t just my lil bro. Like I love getting to bombard him with bullshit about characters he’s never even heard about until watching this show but I gotta know I’m not the only one. Please. These people are working so hard on Search for the Lost and I’d really appreciate if you even saw just one or two episodes. The story is very intriguing, the characters are all so well-written, TEAM DARK IS THERE, FORGE GETS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION, so I say it’s all totally worth it!

#PLEEEEEAAASSSSEDEEEE WARCH ITTTTTTT #WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WILL PAY YOU I WILL PAY YOU CASH MONEEEEEEEEEEE #(no I won’t I’m broke just like the lot of you. Why do u think I’m on tumblr) #WATCH SFTL YOU WILL NOT REGRET ITTTTTTTTT #sonic the hedgehog #silver the hedgehog #using default tags cuz ALL YOU BITCHES NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SHIT #my shitty rambles #blog/ask stuff #idw sonic #BECAUSE THERE ARE IDW CHARACTERS IN HERE #whispangle #YES. YES YOU SAW THAT RIGHT. PRETEND I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING THO AND JUST WATCH THE DAMN SHOW. #YES THERE IS WHISPANGLE BUT PRETEND THERE ISNT #FORGET IT WHEN YOU’RE WATCHING THE SHOW. NO IT’S NOT A SPOILER.

Song of Six

Better known as the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon DnD Game

So I have been bullied (not really) into explaining the DnD campaign I’m running

Back in 1983, there was a Saturday morning cartoon themed around Dungeons and Dragons. That cartoon ran for three seasons, and then was cancelled before the final episode was released officially.

I made a campaign based around this pitch: “Ten years ago, a group of children from Earth were sent to a mysterious realm. They were to be heroes. They didn’t do that. They never came home. You are a group of people gathered by Dungeon Master to find the original heroes, and convince them to save the world.”

That world is called Untoril. It’s a… strange version of the Forgotten Realms (thus the name being “Un-Toril”). It’s full of characters you know, but altered by this world and its struggles. Characters from the Drizzt novels, the 2023 DnD movie, Baldur’s Gate 3, and of course the DnD cartoon all interact.

The party is a group of six people - two from Untoril, 4 from Earth - and a young woman named Sarah

(Sarah is a character I created based off of the Dragons of Stormwreck Isle tie-in miniatures from Wizkids. The other figures in that set were Hank, Diana, Eric, and Presto from the cartoon. I thought it was odd to package an entirely new character with them, and made lore out of it.)

So

The campaign is the six players plus Sarah traveling across Untoril, looking for the cartoon characters.

So far they have found three of them: Sheila was working with Jarlaxle and his guild; Bobby was a friend of Holga Kilgore and Edgin Darvis and working as a gladiator in Neverwinter; and Presto was studying under the archmage Mordenkainen

They still have yet to find Diana (who is missing), Eric (who is the king of the kingdom of Zinn), and Hank (who they have recently learned is the leader of the rebellion against Dungeon Master).

Oh yeah. Dungeon Master is the BBEG

It’s a campaign about celebrating the vast lore of Dungeons and Dragons, while still trying to lay rest to this version of the world that never got to finish its story.

The campaign tagline is literally “Every story deserves an ending”

And that’s the whole point. In addition to helping the cartoon kids get back home, the party is helping Untoril heal. It’s a revolution campaign

There’s also a giant monster lurking underneath the world that’s slowly manipulating everyone’s memories into forgetting there are problems in the first place (gotta love a good False Hydra)

I could elaborate more on the actual SESSIONS or THEMES or CHARACTERS but that would make this a much longer post and I’m typing this on my phone lol. But my asks are open!

I love this game. I’m very proud of it. And I’m very glad everyone is enjoying it so much

I’m gonna tag them so they see this :)

[passthroughtime]

so, i, uh. have been (re)playing LJ as i’ve mentioned before. and this moment has been stuck in my brain for several days now, though it’s stupid AS FUCK, and i was prepared to go insane other this scene (turns out, not enough...). not gonna be normal about this, of course.

“probably never been washed” stop fucking projecting, yagami. and of course it’s a video game and yada-yada, that’s why we can’t see the stains. but there’s still NONE as far as we can tell. yagami, this way you won’t be able to beat the little hater allegations, as much of a good lawyer you are.

“can’t imagine the stink” why you, as a man, need to imagine how another man stinks if you don’t smell it already, there’s probably none. not to the point of being a ‘stink’. and don’t get me started on the fact that you still have no proof that it wasn’t washed ever. calm the fuck down.

other than that, i love this addition to the game. “the place he sleeps at is stinky and dirty, and has been for the last several years. stinks how, you ask? let your imagination run wild! but yeah, obviously nobody fucks this man. not here, at least. there’s not enough space for two people and who in the right mind would be excited to do the deed lying on this thing? so, here’s an important lore tidbit for you: the only two actions there probably happening are sleeping in dirty clothes and jerking off without cleaning after. you’re welcome.”

also this:

why does yagami have the need to be this pathetic. i love him, obviously, but he’s such. just so. yeah

things to note:

1) at least kuwana sleeps with sheets on. can’t say the same about the lil hater here.

2) and that’s why i’d be concerned about the smell of the sofa more actually, if anything. it looks pristine... but lets not forget that kuwana has the power of bedsheets on his side.

3) the only thing that keeps yagami motivated to work is that he can’t sleep or even sit comfortably in the only semblance of a residence he has. apparently.

4) this whole scene is funny as hell tbh. “he can’t even wash the dishes 🙄” look who’s talking. “could this chair be where kuwana sits?” you’re so stupid. can we kiss?

5) there were literally zero braincells used by yagami here. he’s just bitching during any other options which aren’t plot-related but available for investigation. YOU HATE HIM! WE GET IT! SHUT UP!!!

6) yagami at least had the decency not to voice the thoughts shown above to kaito. i’d honestly be embarrassed.

7) i have. So many thoughts about how disgusting they are. and i don’t even want to think them, let alone say them to anyone.

conclusion: what the fuck was that. i’m so pissed. leave me alone. preferably as far from these losers as possible. until they’d have a hour-long shower at least.

#i love games! they give so many opportunities just to stand in one place and fucking overthink each and every detail. #i don’t how to tag. this post shouldn’t be seen by anyone. sane or not #lost judgment spoilers #judge eyes #kuwagami #I GUESS!!!!! suffer as i am. at least you don’t have to live with my brain and hear its thoughts-farts constantantly

Cot Sponlon Lore!!!

(Here’s some info on Cot Sponlon and his campaign for President of the United States! Feel free to suggest additions/ask questions, and don’t forget- Vote Cot Sponlon in 2024!)

Backstory:

    I’m doomed, Spot lamented silently as he stared at the papers on the desk before him. They were written in fancy language that he barely understood, with official-looking stamps and signatures plastered over every sheet, and Spot felt as if they were trying to suck the soul out of his body.

    It had all started as a joke. He’d been drunk with Race on a Saturday night, and the other boy had made some sort of joke- like a “hey, what if you ran for President of the United States” sort of joke- and Spot had taken it seriously. A more sober version of him (but still a version with horrible ideas) had gone through the process, somehow getting himself involved with New York’s state government and also somehow getting nominated to represent the Democratic Party in the race. 

    Cot Sponlon was the name he’d chosen. A stupid mixed-up version of his childhood nickname that somehow went unchecked by everyone he came into contact with (he didn’t know how), the name that newscasters either berated or praised on television, the name that he’d have to use for the rest of his life if he wanted to keep up this ruse. He had no clue how nobody had checked to see if Cot Sponlon was a U.S citizen, if he old enough to run for president, or even if he was a real person at all, and he fully blamed the carelessness of everyone else for the mix up. Apparently, it didn’t take much trickery to fool the old men in office, as he’d done it with ease.

    Spot sorted through the endless stack of files on the desk, seeing his “name” in immaculately typed script on each one, trying to make sense of the duties he’d be taking over. This is a fucking fever dream, he thought to himself, holding back a cry of frustration as he caught the word deadline for the five hundredth time. He wasn’t quite sure how he was going to get himself out of this mess- it wasn’t as if you had to have some sort of permit to run for president, and somehow America had welcomed Cot Sponlon with open arms, most claiming that he was the best fit to lead the country. Make America Gay Again was the slogan he’d chosen- a take on some fat orange bastard’s battle cry that was somehow endearing to weirdos like himself everywhere.

    No matter the fact that he had dropped out of college at age twenty, that most of his former schoolteachers were surprised he ever learned how to read, much less create a lie so elaborate that he could fool the entire world. It would only take a bit of common sense for it all to come crashing down, for him to be exposed as the clueless leader he was. 

    A banner hung above his small desk- one that read: Cot Sponlon, 2024. Staring up at the brightly printed letters, disbelieving of his own stupidity, Spot made up his mind to keep going with this, even if it was just to see how far he could fuck over the country before they realized he was a fake.

    And, who knows, maybe I could make a difference, Spot thought to himself, suppressing a laugh as he continued to flip through the never-ending paperwork, the name he’d created destined to lead him far into the world of politics he’d never truly meant to sign up for.

Information About Our Candidate:

Name: Cot Sponlon

Fire & Thunder - Chapter 2

The BeanBean Kingdom, one that has been in self-exile for centuries, has finally broken their silence. Arriving to the Mushroom Kingdom with the plan to help their heroes learn how to use their powers.

Training, unfortunately, was just one hurtle to jump over.

Fandom: Super Mario & Releated Fandoms, Super Mario RPG Rating: Teen and UP Audiences Relationship: Luigi/Prince Peasley, Mario/Princess Peach, Mario & Luigi & Wario & Waluigi Additional Tags: Needed Training, The Main Villain Makes An Appearance, Growing Relationships, Character Lore?, In My Stories?, It’s More Likely Than You Think.

The surrounding Toad soldiers jumped when the door was knocked open. Wario more or less stomps into the long meeting room. Pointing towards the door he’d just kicked in and shouted, “Out!”

Only for them all to be frozen in worry. The tension broke when Waluigi stuck his head in. 

“Please depart, we’re in need of this room for the moment.”

They moved at that. Casting a confused glance at the Jellyfish Sisters, who looked very upset for being there, and Wario, who was just fuming. Once the room was emptied, the group walked in. The sisters claimed chairs closest to the exit. Instead of walking around the long table to the chairs on the other side, Wario and Waluigi merely slide across the polished top. Uncaring at the scrunched up face of disgust the sisters were given them. 

“So,” Merri huffed, “you want to talk. What is it?”

“Well, first off, what the hell were you thinking?” Wario growled out.

“We informed you that we would be starting the same way we were trained.” Was the short reply.

“And what would you say your power level is?” Waluigi asked, “Compared to those two.”

That humbled the sister’s defensive glares. 

“We’re barely a Bombom while they’re a Bonzai Bill.” Gigi meekly answered.

“So, your morning assumption was that, even with their power, they could keep the same level of control as you two have? That they could just mimic what you did and be fine? That’s not how this works.” 

“Oh, then you do understand the nuances of how the Firebrand and Thunderhand are used? Because you’ve made it clear this was something that neither of you had any idea what was happening nor wanted. Just placed here because of circumstances,” Merri puffed up again, “Do you know how to draw that power out and to use it as both a tool and a weapon? If not, then you two have nothing to offer in this conversation.”

Wario stood at that, glaring down at the red jellyfish sister, “We may not have access to magic or know any battle tactics. But we know Mario and Luigi. They’re our br- our responsibility for a reason.”

There was a slight pause after Wario’s outburst. Waluigi noted how his brother’s cheeks were turning a slight pink. Dutifully ignoring it to continue his stare down with the sisters. 

“If you two want to help them, then you need to understand what they’re like. They aren’t from here, they’re barely used to this way of living.” argued Waluigi when his brother wouldn’t continue. 

“How long have they been here, in the Mushroom Kingdom?” Gigi asked.

“We’re…coming up to a year now, I believe.”

“Do we know when their birthdays are?” Wario whispered out of the side of his mouth. 

“Oh goodness, do you two know anything?” Merri snorted. 

“We know what you pulled out there was stupid!” Wario fired back, “Why would you make them take their gloves off? You saw how strong they were before they were removed.” 

“Because they can’t rely on those gloves forever. They’re limiting themselves with them on.” 

Waluigi frowned, “You just said they’re holding rather explosive powers. Why would you think allowing that kind of energy out, unchecked, would be smart?”

“Are you not listening or are you two just dense? They need to learn. Lest we forget, we’re on the verge of a war. They need to be ready. Bowser will not wait for them to just take their time. They need to learn fast.”

“You know what, that’s another thing,” Wario huffed, “Why would you even share that Mario and Bowser share a lineage power from the Koopa family? In front of everyone .”

“I had assumed someone would have already told him.” Merri tensely argued back. 

“We had no idea! Why would we? We didn’t even know what these powers really were, we just had names! Even then, you stated this wonderful point of fact at a very vulnerable moment. What did you think was going to happen?”

“You’re coddling them.” 

“By not saying he’s paired with his rival in the power department?”

“These powers are connected to their emotions. They can’t allow themselves to lose to heavy feelings. They’re heroes.”

“They’re people .” 

Waluigi placed a hand on Wario’s shoulder to pull him back. His tone caused the sisters to lean back fearfully. 

“You may know these powers,” Waluigi spoke calmly, “But we know the brothers. Yes, they’re heroes. But they are also new to these roles. Everyday, something new is thrown their way, they’re barely allowed to catch their breath. Hell, we’re born and raised in this world and still thrown off with what’s thrown our way.”

“You’re asking, and assuming, too many of them. You have to give them time. Even if you think we don’t, that doesn’t mean to rush.” Waluigi ended with his arms crossed. 

There was a shift at this. Merri looked dishearteningly sheepish while Gigi looked flustered. Neither could look the brothers in their eyes. 

Wario frowned at the deflation of confidence in the sisters, mainly in Merri. Giving his own brother a raised brow. To which Waluigi just sighed softly. 

“Is there anything you two wish to share?”

“We were told how important this meeting was,” Gigi said softly, “Not only were we looking forward to leaving the BeanBean Kingdom, but also working with the heroes we’d heard so much about. It was a thrill! But, after the excitement wore off…the weight of it all settled on us. We’re entering into a war that we aren’t feel prepared for. Yet we’re supposed to have the heroes battle ready with the powers we just use to heal?”

“It’s a lot.” Waluigi added gently. 

“We’re terrified. We didn’t know what to expect when we left the kingdom.”

“I thought, if we put on a front of determination, of indifference, of strength, it wouldn’t feel so scary.” Merri whispered softly. 

“Arrogance is not the best front.” Waluigi said, which made the sisters shrink back further. 

Wario gently elbowed Waluigi’s arm, who gave a weak shrug. 

“Look,” said Wario, “we weren’t feeling that confident about this either. We know nothing about these powers and they’re hurting our…companions. All we can do is make sure they keep themselves level headed. Which is why we don’t do, or say, anything that would upset them.”

Merri shifted nervously, “No one really knew about it?”

“Nope.”

“Is it true?” Waluigi asked.

“Yes, Firebrand is a technique that had it start with the Koopa line. It’s what determines which Koopa is supposed to be the next leader.”

“So, fire-breathing has always gone hand-in-hand with evil turtles. 

“Koopas were territorial in early years, no dictators. They were protective over their land.”

“Still.”

“I think we need to sit down and rethink about all of this,” Wario said, “You have the knowledge of their abilities. We know our heroes. Let’s actually think of a plan to help them.”

Merri and Gigi exchange side glances before nodding. 

“Great… Now, where do we start?”

_____________________________

As her heels clicked against the polished ground, Peach was painfully reminded how deserted the castle was. Once filled with so much life when she was younger. Her parents were ones who loved hosting parties, not even really needing a reason to have neighboring kingdoms filling the large halls. The air filled with music, conversations, and laughter. 

Now more than half of the castle was dark and quiet. It had been a real feat to get the three guest rooms in pristine condition. Or, at the very least, livable. 

Even as her heart longed to see more life back in her home, Peach had to remind herself why she was currently traversing the cold hallways. 

Mario hadn’t been found in the main portions of the castle. No one had seen him run in. Peach concluded he’d gone deeper into the building to avoid who he could. Resulting in her travel down the darkened, musty hallways. Eyes traveling around to catch any sign of Mario’s path. A cracked door or a moved piece of furniture. 

Her first clue however was the sound of the muffled sniffing. Ears twitched as the sound grew louder. 

Relief hit her when she found Mario sitting on the window ledge. The dusty curtains have been pulled back slightly to look out to the warm day. The afternoon light shining off his cheeks. 

He looked over upon hearing Peach approaching him. Quickly reaching up to rub his cheeks and look somewhat presentable. 

“Princess-” Mario was cut off when Peach pulled him into a tight hug. He eventually reached up to wrap to loosely wrap his own arms around her 

“Are you okay?” Peach knew it was the wrong question the moment it left her mouth. 

There was a choked laugh as Mario quickly pulled away. Looking slightly manic as he pulled his hat off to run a hand through his hair. 

“Oh, yeah, I’m great! Who wouldn’t be after learning your uncontrollable ability is shared with your enemy? No, wait, not shared. It’s a family heritage! Not my family mind you, oh no.The Koopa lineage! The hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, who has zero idea as to what he’s doing, has a horrible connection to their greatest threat.”

“If the Toads are worried about this, if they’re…fearful of me… How will other kingdoms react when they learn about this? Luigi and I are supposed to be the face of this kingdom. We’re supposed to be a comfort, to ease everyone’s worries. I’m supposed to be the one that keeps Bowser from destroying everything. Can anyone trust me when they learn about what I’ve done?”

“Enough!” Peach called out. Grabbing onto Mario’s shoulders to force him to look at her. Her furrowed brows softened in hopes to lessen Mario’s worried features.

She led him back over to the window ledge. Pulling the curtains fully back to allow them a clear view of the window before sitting back down. Mario sheepishly follows.

“What exactly have you done? Because, as far as I can tell, you’ve done everything you can,” Peach said softly, “You have an ability given to you. You didn’t choose this, but you’re dealing with this in the best situations that you can. This is not your fault.”

“It doesn’t change the fact that people will…” Mario swallowed weakly.

“I won’t say that people won’t judge you upon the first meeting. But I also know you won’t let that stop you. You’re someone who’s shown, while you care about others opinions, it won’t stop you from helping. That is what people are going to remember about you. Not about what your abilities are connected to, but how you use them.”

There was a pause. Peach saw that Mario was weighing something heavily on his mind. 

“...Do you see me…like him? Like Bowser?”

“No.” She knew she answered too quickly.

Mario looked away. “Don’t lie to me.”

“Mario…”

“I remember when these powers first emerged. I was angry, I felt so…terrible. I snapped at you. You…looked scared… The only time I’ve ever seen you that scared is when you look at Bowser.”

“You did scare me,” Peach answered honestly, “When you yelled…your eyes changed and you had smoke pouring from your mouth… But that doesn’t mean anything now!”

“Of course it does,” Mario frowned, “If you’re fearful of me, how could anyone else trust me?”

“Because I do trust you! That reaction, please don’t believe that’s how I see you. Do you really think I would love you if I was fearful of you?”

Mario’s eyes snapped up, tensing as his cheeks turned a deep red. “...You…you love me?”

Peach also turned a deep red, “...Yes, I do. Perhaps it’s too early to say those words. But I mean them. If I truly saw you as a threat, I would not be here. Your actions, your thoughts, your drive to protect everyone speaks louder than your ‘connection’. The fact you’re here, hiding away, worried about all of this, shows me you’re nothing like Bowser. You are a far better person. Your powers are going to be used to protect, not destroy.”

When Peach reached out to take Mario’s hands, he flinched back. She gave a small smile before claiming them both, giving a gentle squeeze.

“You are not Bowser. You are far better.” Peach whispered softly. Gently placing a kiss on the back of one.

The flush darkened on Mario’s cheeks, but he still looked worried. “I really wish I could believe you…”

“You will, one day. But I understand where your worries are placed. Titles can weigh heavily on your actions and thoughts. Even more so when it’s more of less pushed upon you. How about we just relax for the remainder of the day? I think some tea and a slice of cake is needed.”

“W-What about training?”

“I believe Wario and Waluigi are handling that at the moment. Plus, I don’t think you’re in the right mindset to keep going. If I need to order you to relax, I will do so.”

Standing up, Peach held out a hand for Mario to take. Which he eventually did. Sliding off the ledge and allowing himself to be led away from the darkened area of the castle. As they entered the busier section of the area, they were stopped by Toadsworth and a small group of Toad guards.

“There you are, Master Mario,” Toadsworth let out a heavy sigh of relief, “We were worried after you ran off. How are you feeling? Do you need anything?”

Mario was taken aback seeing the worried looks, about his safety and not the destruction he’d caused. “I-uh… No, I’m fine…”

Peach cleared her throat, giving him a pointed look.

“I’m just… I didn’t take the news well. Obviously.”

“I assumed as much. But I don’t blame you one bit,” Toadsworth huffed while a few of the guards nodded vigorously behind him, “Wario and Waluigi have stated that your training is done for the day. They’re currently working out a new plan with the sisters.”

“Oh…that’s good to hear… W-Where’s Luigi?” Mario's eyes flickered around nervously.

“In the gardens still, I believe. No one’s reported otherwise.”

Mario merely nodded at this before heading directly that way. Still holding Peach’s hands while she and the others follow close behind.

_____________________________

If the situation was different, Peasley would have enjoyed taking a stroll through the gardens. While his kingdom had a wide range of vegetation and his own garden was an explosion of colored roses, what was in the Mushroom Kingdom held a number of plant life he’d never seen before. He would have loved to ask Peach as many questions. But the joy of it all was muted as Peasley checked every nook and cranny to find Luigi. 

Currently, unsuccessful. 

“Come on Luigi, where are you?” Peasley whispered fearfully.

Looking around, to make sure he was alone, Peasley knelt down and placed his hand flat on the ground. Eyes closing as he steadied his breathing.

“Please my friends,” Peasley whispered softly, “would you be so kind as to find Luigi? Lead me to him.”

There was a steady pulse coming from the ground.

The wind offers a calming breeze.

Peasley heard a gentle whisper among it.

He only remained there a few seconds before he stood once more. Turning to face the hedge maze. He headed in without a second thought. The gentle wind offers the needed direction. Leading Peasley to the center of the large creation.

Luigi was sitting on a small bridge that stretched over a thin river running through the middle of the maze. His attention was on his hands, which were resting in his lap. Looking absolutely dejected. 

Peasley attempted to gather himself before stepping in. Even as the wind attempted to push him forward. 

“Don’t rush me on this.” Peasley whispered softly.

When he’d built up enough courage, he approached Luigi. Who was only aware that the prince was there when Peasley’s boots hit the wooden bridge. Even then the human kept his eyes staring at his hands. 

Peasley took a seat near Luigi. Allowing the other a chance to flee if he felt the need.

Clenching his hands into fists, Luigi tensed up, shoulders up to his ears.

It was quiet.

“How are you feeling?” Peasley asked softly.

“...I’ve been better,” Luigi laughed softly, “Guess that power isn’t that impressive anymore, huh? Kind of loses that luster when I can just…crack the foundation of solid rock. Terrifying…”

Shoulders slumped, Luigi lowered the cap to cover his eyes. “This has been a horrible show all around.”

“You do realize that we arrived here for this reason? To help you and your brother. To get you to become more comfortable with you using your abilities.”

“But you probably didn’t think it was this bad.”

“Well, I mean, I knew you had a lot of power,” Peasley frowned softly as the human wilted further, “There is no ill-will behind these words…”

“How are you not terrified of me? You saw what I’m capable of. What damage I can cause. For a supposedly ‘great hero’, I cause more damage than anything.”

Biting his lower lip, Peasley contemplated for a few moments before inching closer.

“...Can I tell you a secret?” He asks softly.

Curious, Luigi lifted his cap to look at the prince. “Um…sure.”

“I’m cursed.” Peasley couldn’t help but laugh at the human’s look of bewilderment.

“Were you informed of my kingdom’s involvement in the first war against the Koopas?”

“Um, very minimal,” Luigi confirmed, “Something was said about a BeanStar?”

“It’s an artifact that’s far older than our lands. It allows the holder one with whatever they desire. Not without consequence. When the ruling king asked for his enemies to be destroyed, it killed not only Koopas, but even Bean citizens. Those who spoke loudly against him. The BeanStar taking his words to mean anyone he’d seen as a threat to his status.”

“After the wish was fulfilled, the BeanStar broke. Apparently, the wish was too damaging to keep it intact. It’s as if it was just as horrified with what it had done and never wanted its power to be used again. The only good thing to take from this was the fact that the king’s life was taken as well. Even to this day, it remains in pieces.”

“How does this mean that you’re cursed?” Luigi asked nervously.

“Because following the demise of the king, the royal bloodline only held female rulers for centuries. Queens have ruled over the BeanBean Kingdom. Keeping the peace and our kingdom away from any conflicts. It’s as if the BeanStar’s power made it so no male could rule again and cause such destruction once more. It’s been this way for generations…”

“Until I was born.”

Luigi watched on with worry as Peasley seemed to break slightly. No longer looking confident. Instead, meek and fearful.

“No one will say it,” Peasley whispered, “But I know they’re scared of me. Of what damage I could possibly bring. It’s why I push myself to be my best. Best fighter, negotiator, problem solver. I will take on any task if it means I will be seen in a better light. To never be compared to the old king.”

Letting out a slow sight, Peasley allowed further barriers to fall away. Looking up to the sky as tears fell.

“My citizens are fearful of me because of how I was born. I know some can look past it. But others are never going to see me as nothing more than a terrible omen. They no doubt are preparing for the worse, wondering what destruction I could possibly bring.”

He couldn’t help but twitch in surprise feeling something gently brushing against his cheek. Eyes turning to see Luigi’s hands resting against the prince’s warm skin. The human looked a little surprised with how bold he was being, but he quickly pushed past it.

“I believe…if anyone thinks that about you, they’re more than a little paranoid.” Luigi mumbled softly.

Peasley laughed. Reaching up to lay his own hand across Luigi’s. “Suppose so…”

“Doesn’t mean you won’t stop trying to impress them.”

“You’re one to talk.”

They shared a laugh at that. The atmosphere becomes warm and calm.

Peasley reached up to wipe gently at his other eye before pulling Luigi’s hand away. Pressing the back of it to his forehead. 

“Thank you for listening. Though, I suppose I should apologize, I was coming here to make you feel better.”

Luigi laughed softly. Deciding to build up his bravery once more and, taking Peasley’s hand this time, placed a gentle kiss to the prince’s knuckles. “I think we both needed some kind of reassurance. If anything, it kind of feels like we’re in similar situations.”

Peasley knew his cheeks were a deep blue. His furiously beating heart rising, feeling Luigi’s thumb gently brushing along the back of his hand. “There’s…comfort in that. Do you feel well enough to go back?”

“...Don’t suppose I could convince you to stay here a little longer?”

“It won’t take much. I wouldn’t mind a few more minutes alone.”

So they remained. Both peered up at the clear sky as they enjoyed the warmth and gentle breeze. Hand still clasped together, situated between them.

It was unclear how long they remained there. Enjoying the quiet and the company before it was interrupted by Mario, Peach, and a small group of Toads entering the area. Peasley not minding as Luigi gently pulled away. The younger twin happy to be collected into Mario’s arms. The older mumbling something about ‘I didn’t mean to scare you’. Peach passed the rejoined brothers and went to Peasley, who had just walked off the bridge as well. 

“Is it always this exciting?” The prince asked. Watching as Toadsworth worried over Luigi now.

“Mmm, more or less,” Peach laughed softly, “I do hope this does not…”

“Don’t fret. I have no plans to pull back. I know this is going to be intense. This was just…very eventful.”

Peach didn’t miss the way Peasley’s eyes softened as they focused on Luigi. 

“Apparently.” Peach replied softly.

_____________________________

The following morning was met with a much different mood. 

This time starting off with Wario practically breaking down the twin’s bedroom door. Both letting out groggy moans as they woke up. 

“Up and at ‘em! We have a big day ahead of us!” Wario stated as he tossed the twin’s outfits onto the foot of the bed. 

“What has you so chipper?” Mario asked, rubbing his eyes as Luigi clung to his other arm. 

“This is what happens when he’s given attention.” Waluigi commented from the doorway. But he also looks pleased. 

“Come on,” Wario called out again, “Up, up, up! Get your butts up!”

Breakfast consisted of a quick bite before the group was led outside and separated. Merri and Mario heading towards the large lake followed by Peach and Waluigi. While Gigi and Luigi went towards the still shattered training grounds with Peasley and Wario close behind. Each twin gave the other a comforting smile before being taken away.

Mario’s apprehension over the situation grew as the shining surface of the water came better into view. Turning back to glare at Waluigi, “This was your idea, wasn’t it.”

“Just don’t give me a reason to toss you in and it’ll all be okay.”

“Come along you two!” Merri called out. Her and Peach already sitting near the edge of the lake.

Waluigi reached out to ruffle Mario’s hair before quickly making his way down. The hero letting out a disgruntled huff before following. He was situated between Merri and Waluigi with Peach sitting across. Frowning softly as his eyes flickered away from the gently rippling water and onto Merri. 

“So…what’s the plan for today? I’m not taking my gloves off again, am I?”

“No,” Merri flushed softly, “I do want to apologize for my actions yesterday. In my…eagerness to see your power, I pushed more than I meant to. I clearly crossed a line that I was unaware of, or blatantly ignored.”

“Um, well, it’s understandable-” Mario winced as Waluigi flicked his ear.

“Take the apology and stop being a people pleaser.” The taller brother said.

“The point being,” Merri said quickly, “that there’s been a change of course with how I’m handling this. So, the gloves will remain on until you’re in better control.”

Mario gave a small nod, doing his best to not flinch away as Merri gently grabbed one of his hands. Turning it over to it was palm up. The familiar pull felt as Merri’s hand traveled up Mario’s wrist. The sister pulling back as a fireball appeared in his hand once more. Mario cupped both of his hands around it. Merri following suit. 

“I would like to clear this for you. You and I are more similar in use of this ability than you and Bowser ever could be.”

Mario swallowed weakly, “But…you said…”

“In your strength, yes, you two share the same level. Far more than what’s been seen for centuries. But your handling with it is where your difference lies. Bowser spews from his mouth an eruption of flames, uncaring who or what is in his way. He doesn’t care how it spreads, what it destroys. Bowser is a display of power, nothing more.”

“But you and I, our ability comes through our hands. We build, we construct, we direct. We allow our actions to help and form a brighter path forward. In the BeanBean Kingdom, I’m a physical therapist. I heal and help beings with their recovery. My ability warms and comforts. Even with your limited control, you’ve shown that you want to know how to use your ability for good. It’s a strength, your strength, that will make this work.”

“Where our current concern lies is you feeling confident to comfortably and easily call upon your abilities. Yes, they do react when you’re feeling high emotions. But you need to be able to use them at any time that you need them. Not when you’re stressed.”

“Well, what do I need to do? I’ve already tried ‘calling’ it. But either nothing happens or it just goes crazy. This and yesterday before my…freak out, this is the first time it’s ever looked this…calm.” Mario replied. 

“Your issue lies with not treating this like an extension of yourself. This power is you, but you’re not acting like it is.”

“I…don’t understand.”

“You’re scared.” Waluigi answered.

Mario frowned softly. “That’s not really a secret. Kind of why I’m getting help now, right?”

“What Waluigi is trying to say is that you seem to be more fearful of this power,” Merri tilted her head as Mario shrunk back slightly, “You are safe here. These powers are safe.”

Mario remained quiet for a few moments. The fire flickering as if providing further proof of his internal struggles at that moment.

“It’s an understatement when I say this has all been so crazy,” Mario whispered, “Everything that Luigi and I have faced… It feels so surreal. Like an insane dream. How many people think that a random green pipe would send them to a new land? But…being a hero, fighting Bowser, living here… It’s been crazy, but manageable, in some way. Like, I could sort of associate what I was doing with what I did on Earth. It’s a job, just a little different. It’s a place to live, just a little different. It’s a bully…just a little different.” 

“A hero instead of a plumber. Power-Ups instead of a toolbox. I know it sounds like a weird mentality, but it worked.”

“What of the Firebrand?” Merri asked softly.

“...It’s the one thing I couldn’t push away. It’s not something that fits into a ‘normal’ category. It was a constant reminder that this, all of this, was something that shouldn’t be real. It never disappears. It’s just a reminder that I’m playing a role, that I’m never going to be…ready. What does this world have to offer? What other new changes do we have to face and just be okay with? The more I focus on these powers the more I realize…”

“I’m…very scared. I hate that I have this thing inside me that I can’t control that I’m supposed to just see as normal. That it’s fine. But it’s not fine. I’m realizing that nothing about this is fine . It’s a burden I don’t want and can’t get rid of.”

As if to prove his point, Mario crushed the fire between his hands. Only for small flames to peek out between his fingers. 

Merri gently pulled his hands apart, the fireball appearing once more. With the orb flickering. Shrinking and growing rapidly. 

“This power is a part of you.” She said softly.

“Humans don’t have magic.”

“I know nothing about humans or your past. But this ability cannot just be randomly given. To anyone, not just you. You’ve had this power lying dominant inside of you for a long time. Something that’s only appeared because of your arrival to our world. Regardless, this is part of you. Of your very soul. The more you fight to keep it away, the harder it will fight back to be seen.”

“So, I’m just stuck with this power that’s comparable to Bowser? The being that’s trying to destroy everything? How am I supposed to just be okay with this?”

His breathing became hard, smoke starting to flow from his mouth. Merri focused on keeping the fire contained in its sphere form. 

Peach gently reached out and wrapped around Mario. Pressing her forehead against his. Slowing her breathing, making sure Mario could feel it, smiling softly when he followed her. The fire calmed back down. 

“I thought I was doing fine,” Mario continued slowly, “I just pushed through as I always did. It’s kind of my stand by. Keep moving forward. Then the Boos attacked and I slowed down a bit. These powers showed up and I slowed down more. King Boo arrived and I just… I felt like I was pulling along a Thwomp, but I just kept moving forward. Just marking it all up to something I would get used to. Just…something that’s part of this world.” 

“Then Luigi got sick and…it shook me a lot more than I thought. I thought that…I wasn’t being as attentive as I believed I had been. I was trying to balance two different lives and I don’t know if I’m really keeping it all together. I can’t step back because I took on this role. But moving forward would mean facing something that I can’t deal with.”

“I’m afraid that if I touch something, I’m going to break it. And these powers…they make me a barely contained wildfire. I can’t protect what I could possibly destroy.”

He was broken from his daze when Waluigi plopped down on his other side. The taller brother wraps an arm easily around Mario and Peach.

“You will never cease to amaze me at how stupid you really are.”

“Do you think Bowser, or King Boo, or any of the other insane things we’ve seen the past few months are normal for any of us? We may not be heroes, but this is terrifying for all of us. That doesn’t mean we don’t reach out for help.” said Peach. 

“But it does put us in danger if our best hero is freaking out.”

Mario let out a snort as Peach slapped Waluigi’s arm. Who let out an indignant, “What?”

“The point trying to be made here is that you have a lot of people supporting you. It’s okay to be scared. But…I will say, with your stance on this, you’re a far better person than Bowser. You’re nothing like him. Not even close.”

Mario’s furrowed brows eventually softened. Shoulders relaxing as he leaned into Peach. Eyes going to the orb resting comfortably in his hands.

He shifted his shoulders so he could pull away from both Peach and Waluigi. Still focused on the fire. Merri’s hands remained cupped underneath his. Taking a deep breath, Mario carefully and slowly closed his hands once more. The fire disappeared this time. The hands opened to reveal that it was truly gone. Only for it to return once more. 

Merri beaming, “Wonderfully done.”

Peach let out a joyful laugh. 

Waluigi let out a sigh of relief. 

Mario just looked relaxed, finally seeming at ease with the fire held in his hands. “Alright, well, what do we do now?”

The question was never answered. 

The fire disappeared when the group was stilled by a heavy rumble in the distance. All turning to face where it came from. Mario quickly stood and broke away from the other three and he looked over the horizon. An uncomfortable feeling settling in his gut seeing the sky slowly turning black.

“Oh no… Not now.”

_____________________________

Luigi bit his lip as he tried to remain as still as possible. Even as the build up of nerves wanted to make him shake to release it all out somehow. Eyes following Gigi’s hand as it traveled around the human’s wrist and palm. A concerning hum sounding from the sister. 

For the time they had spent by the gardens, Luigi had been unable to call upon his powers. Despite Wario’s encouragement, Peasley’s words of comfort, and Gigi’s instruction, nothing seemed to be working. Now that even Gigi was having trouble pulling out what she’d been able to find the day prior. 

“Well…this is interesting.” Gigi mumbled softly.

“Found the problem?” Wario asked, leaning forward.

“Mmm, sort of. The Thunderhand ability is still there, it hasn’t just disappeared. That’s not possible. However, it’s faint…very faint. It’s acting as if it’s currently recharging. Or, rather, you’re recharging the energy needed to use Thunderhand. Whatever you’re able to produce relates to how ‘rested’ you are. If you’re tired, then your ability is tired as well.”

Wario crossed his arms, “Seems counterproductive with this ability… Would Mario be having the same issue as well?”

“No, Firebrand is based on another type of energy. Passion, is what it could be called. Luigi’s is more based on ‘life’ energy. The spark of life, if you will. Yesterday’s sudden strength and final output must have depleted all you had stored up.”

Luigi looked down as his hands in thought. “That…kind of checks out, actually. Every time I’ve used my ability, it’s released in a very strong way. Sort of like what happened yesterday. First time it happened, I had the hammer that worked as a conducting rod. But I hit the Piranha Plant with all I had. Same with trapping King Boo. I poured everything into getting him in there. Afterwards, I'll be asleep for hours if not until the next day.”

Gigi let out another low hum as she leaned closer. Letting out a quiet “Hold still please” before placing a hand on Luigi’s chest and forehead. Wario heard a faint but high pitched sound coming from the sister. Luigi seemed to close his eyes in response, breathing slowly.

This only lasted for a few moments, Gigi pulled away. A look of worry resting on her face. “You’re allowed to not answer this. But..have you had a brush with death?”

Luigi swallowed weakly, barely twitching as Wario gently placed a hand on his shoulder. But he did look up to Peasley as the prince gently took one of his hands. The human lets out a slow breath before nodding. 

“A few times, yeah, when I was younger.” 

Gigi hummed softly.

“Is that going to be a problem?” Wario asked. 

“Not so much a problem, but it offers an explanation as to where the issue lies. Your power feeds directly off of you. As stated, off the ‘life’ that you have. If you’ve had incidents where you were close to…passing on, those events create scarring on your soul. A sort of blockade from using your own power.” 

“Currently, the times that you’ve used it, it’s been a full release of what’s been built up. Sort of like running a marathon when you’ve not trained yourself to do so. Your body can’t handle that much loss, even more so when you’re putting such a strain on your already fragile soul. Even then, you’re not able to use what you have to its full potential.” 

“Wait, wait, wait,” Wario frowned, “You’re telling me that, even with Luigi cracking the foundation of solid stone, that’s not the strongest he could be?”

Gigi looked over and gave a solemn nod, “Thunderhand is a strong ability. But even I am a little fearful of how strong Luigi could really be.” 

“Okay, well, e-even with how strong I could be, clearly the b-bigger issue is that I still can’t control it,” Luigi quickly took over, “Going back to the original point. If what you’re saying is true, about how much energy I’m using up, I should still be out at this moment. Right?”

“I can’t provide a proper answer to that. Honestly, you’re an enigma to me. With the information you’ve provided me, you should be as limited as I am. But, that’s clearly not what’s happening… In regards to your energy level and use, my guess is that your body is becoming acclimated to the sudden loss. You’re up and I can still feel the power. It’s just not as strong as it could be to be used.”

“Okay, on the positive side, he’s building up his strength,” said Peasley, looking a little hopeful.

“It would appear so. Not enough to recover the level of power quickly. But at least he’s awake.” 

Luigi flexed his hands. He felt his chest and spine tingle, as if the ability was doing what it could to say ‘I’m here!’ to the worried human.

“Is there a way to fix this? To fix…any of this?” He asked weakly.

“Fix is not the best word for this. But, what we can do is, more or less, strength training. A way so that you don’t expel your power all at once. As well as see if there’s a way to strengthen your core. You’re very strong, but only in short blasts. When it should be a constant current. For today, we should just see if there’s a way to carefully bring it back out.” 

As Gigi moved forward once more, the group froze as the ground suddenly shook. As if something heavy had landed in front of the castle. 

Luigi was up the next second, running towards the front. Only to be greeted with Toad soldiers doing their best to hold off Bowser’s army. The castle already sustained some heavy damage. 

Luigi’s eyes scanned over the area, trying to frantically find Mario among the chaos. When he couldn’t find his brother, he focused on keeping Peasley and Gigi safe. Turning to Wario, he asked, “Do you have a Power-Up?”

“Yeah, Fire Flower.” Wario replied, handing it over.

“Good. Get Peasley and Gigi somewhere safe.”

Luigi faced the battle once more, crushing the Power-Up between his hands and…

Nothing.

The familiar rush of warmth that came with the Fire Flower was missing. Instead, Luigi jerked when he received a sharp sting to his chest. The Power-Up crumbled away to blackened ash. 

“W-What? Why didn’t-”

“Luigi! Move!” Wario called out.

He barely had time to move when something large landed behind him. Luigi slammed into the ground the next second. His head was ringing, vision slowly clearing up as he realized he was being forcefully held down by something large. 

That ‘something’ shifted and Luigi received his answer as to what it was.

Bowser, the King of the Koopa’s, leered at the clearly terrified human. Eyes glowing a dangerous red that matched the same color emitting deep from within his throat. Numerous spikes formed a natural collar around the base of the Koopa’s neck. Even with Luigi being pressed into the ground, the human could tell Bowser towered over everyone. 

“Well, well, this is the famous younger brother of Mario. Is it even possible that you’re a smaller pest than your brother? How pitiful.” 

As if to prove his point, Bowser increased the pressure around Luigi. Who let out a noise of pain in response.

“Let him go, you fiend!”

The smirk turned to a scowl as Bowser turned his attention towards Peasley and Wario. The prince calling out the Koopa, his sword drawn with Wario right by his side. Hammer in hand. Both staring the Koopa down. 

“More players. A wayward soul and a prince of a once proud kingdom. Is this really the best the Mushroom Kingdom has to offer for champions?” 

“I commanded you to let him go.” Peasley pointed his sword at Bowser. Clearly trying to intimidate. Which faltered when the Koopa stood to his full height, Luigi still held tightly in his hand. 

“Well, if you feel so strongly about this, why don’t you come over and get him?”

Heart hammering, Luigi attempted to think of a way out. He couldn’t break out with his own strength. But the Power-Ups weren’t working, so that couldn’t be useful either. All that left was…

“Please, please, please,” Luigi whispered, “I need to get out. Just a little shock. That’s all I need…”

Bowser let out a roar of pain as visibly arches of energy traveled up his arm. Causing him to throw Luigi away, the human colliding against Wario. Causing them both to collapse onto the ground.

Attempting to take advantage of Bowser’s state of pain, Peasley rushed forward. Easily climbing his way up to the Koopa’s neck via the large arm that was on the ground. Trying to quickly locate a vital area before plunging his sword into Bowser’s neck. All resulting in a more annoyed Koopa as the sword barely punctured the thick skin. 

Peasley was easily swiped off. Letting out a pained cry as he hit the ground. Thankfully able to recover fast enough to roll out of the way of Bowser’s fire. Only to land himself among numerous Koopa Troopas, who held him at spear point.

Wario was up next, swinging his hammer at the Koopa’s legs. Side stepping a swipe from Bowser’s claws. Landing another hit before being knocked back with Bowser’s tail. Wario using his tool to keep him upright and slowing himself down. 

Panting weakly, Wario looked over to Luigi. “What’s happening, where did the Power-Up go?”

“I-I don’t know, it just disintegrated.” Luigi replied in a panic.

“What about your Thunderhand?”

“I called on it to get out of Bowser’s hand. I-It just barely came out then. Nothing’s h-happening now.”

“Shit, then we need to-”

Both looked up hearing a panicked scream. Finding Gigi being pulled towards the flying fortress. Peasley doing his best to fend off Bowser’s army. But was clearly losing his fight, covered with numerous cuts and bleeding. They’d barely taken a step forward when the Koopa King blocked their path, letting out a low warning growl.

Luigi scrambled back as he and Wario avoided another attack. Bowser’s red eyes following the human. His row of sharp teeth shown in a sinister smile. 

“Are you really supposed to be the other ‘hero’? Where is your strength, your drive! You just flee and let others fight for you. How could you ever be considered as a threat, on the same level as Mario.”

Luigi felt as if his heart was in his throat. Scrambling further away as clawed hands followed close.

“Where’s your power, your strength! Where is your fight !” 

Pulling back again, Luigi attempted to land his first hit. Only problem was, without powers, it resulted in him almost breaking his hand against the thick, rough skin. Quickly bringing the trembling hand to his chest. 

“Pathetic.”

It was the last words Luigi recalled before receiving a heavy swipe to his side. The human flying back once more and landing back on the ground. Feeling his overalls becoming warm and sticky from where the hit struck. He could have sworn he’d heard Peasley desperately calling out his name.

Slowly sitting up with a hand pressed over the wound, Luigi’s eyes connected briefly with Peasley. Who was fighting back as he was also pulled towards Bowser’s keep. The human’s attention then snapping to Bowser as he stalked closer. 

“I should just put you out of your misery.” The Koopa growled out.

Bowser gave a slight pause when a familiar hammer hit his shoulder. Waving it off easily as Wario stood between him and Luigi. 

“Don’t you threaten him!” Wario glared up at the Koopa.

Bowser just laughed, “Is Mario the only one who can give me even a little bit of a challenge?”

“Lord Bowser!” A lone Winged Koopa appeared, barely casting a glance towards Wario. Less to Luigi who was still lying on the ground. “We have secured the sisters and the prince. Kamek reports he has secured Peach.”

“What!?” Wario twitched as Bowser casually looked back, a smirk playing across the Koopa’s face.

“It seems that the Mushroom Kingdom is not as prepared as I thought they would be. How shameful. Suppose we aren’t as powerful as we thought we were.”

Wario took a step forward, not really sure what he thought he was going to be able to do. After all, he knew his last hit only annoyed the large Koopa.

“Don’t waste your energy. You’ve lost.” Bowser leaned closer, Wario doing his best to glare back. “Be somewhat useful and tell that coward I’ll allow him front row seating to his brother’s death before I take his life.”

Bowser didn’t look away as he easily blocked Wario’s hammer. Who was now furious .

“You are going to regret those words.” Wario hissed out. 

“By whose hands, yours? Perhaps you’ll be the last to lose their lives, to show you how weak you truly are.”

Being pushed back, Wario faltered when he found him and Luigi suddenly surrounded by soldiers. 

“Go save your fallen failure. There’s nothing else you can do.” 

“Don’t turn your back on-” Wario fell quiet as numerous spears were pointed at his neck. 

“Get it through your thick skull. You are not a threat.”

With that, Bowser left towards his fortress with his soldiers following soon after. Wario eventually regained feeling in his legs and weakly shuffled over to Luigi. Practically collapsing next to the human. Panic rising as he finally saw the blood. 

“Shit… Shit, h-hold on Luigi, you’re gonna be fine.”

He couldn’t help how shaky his voice was. Hands trembling as he cradled the severely injured human close, eyes looking up when Toad medics rushed over. Mushrooms held out to heal both Wario and Luigi. The former feeling cold, realizing how quickly it all turned south. 

_____________________________

Mario let out a heavy grunt as he hit the ground hard. Frantically gripping onto the broken ground to slow himself quickly. Arms numb from where the magic attack had landed. 

He let out a growl as smoke poured from his mouth. Getting back up on shaky legs as Kamek floated closer. The magic Koopa smirking at the clear pain Mario was in. 

“How boring,” Kamek said casually, “Where are your powers? Not even Power-Ups? Have you decided to just…give up?”

“You weren’t so high and mighty before.” Mario hissed out.

“Not much of a threat when you can barely stand.” Kamek snorted. It turned into a cackle as Mario attempted to throw a fireball. Which appeared nothing more than a spark. “You poor thing! Firebrand takes years to master, and that’s just for Koopas. The rightful controller over this ability. It has no reason to listen to a worthless human like yourself.” 

Mario’s attention turned away for a moment hearing a heavy ‘thump’. Finding Waluigi doing his best to keep Koopa Troopa’s away, his hammer creating decent sized dents in the dirt.

“Waluigi!” The red dressed hero attempted to run over to help. Only for a beam of magic to wrap around his middle and forcefully pulled him back. 

“We aren’t done talking, child,” Kamek growled out, taking great enjoyment when Mario collided against a large chunk of rubble. The magic user casually floated down. Gleefully watching as Mario attempted to get back up. The human coughing as he tries to breathe.

“Tell me, oh hero, where did you get these abilities?” 

“...W-What?”

Mario let out a yelp as he was roughly pulled off the ground. Legs kicking desperately as magic slowly squeezed his middle, pushing the air he’d just collected out of his lungs. Feeling as if his skin was being pierced by thousands of needles. 

“WHERE did you get these ABILITIES!” Kamek screamed, clutching the front of Mario’s shirt. Pulling him closer to tower over the human, “This belongs to the Koopa lineage and a worthless, pathetic little worm like you has no right to carry it with you. So, I will ask one more time. Where did you get this ability.”

On the ground, Waluigi slammed his hammer down. Causing the Koopas to scramble back. He was about to swing once more when he heard Mario call out in pain. Wide eyes quickly scanning the area to find the human in his current predicament. 

“Shit,” Waluigi mumbled weakly. Eyes narrowing down on the nearest Koopa, who’d gone inside their shell. “Come here!”

The soldier barely had time to fully recover from the previous attack when they were knocked into the air. Hit one final time to be launched towards Kamek. 

Said warlock let out a squawk of surprise when the shell collided against his back. Causing him to drop Mario. Waluigi was thankfully able to catch the fallen human. 

“I got you. I got you, you’re okay.” The taller brother whispered frantically. Doing his best to look over Mario’s wounds while also keeping an eye on Kamek. Taking a protective stance when the warlock drew closer. 

“Your family had been quite a nuisance for us for too long,” Kamek hissed, “Is this your father’s doing? What did that insect find, what did he give to those twins?” 

Waluigi froze at that, eyes widening as he stared down the warlock. “...What? What the hell are you talking about? How do you know my dad?”

“I don’t have time for this. Tell the worthless magic user that Lord Bowser will be waiting for him. He wants to see how truly powerful that human is. I’m not impressed. But Lord Bowser wants a show. So Mario best deliver.”

Pulling away, Kamek raised his wand. Swinging it in a circle above his head with magic falling over him and the Koopas. All disappearing in a flash of light.

“Wait!” Waluigi called out. But was too late to call anyone back or make any of them stay. Eyes remain still on where Kamek just was.

“...Where’s our dad.”

_____________________________

“Oh, this is horrible! Horrible! How could it turn out this way? No other kingdom will ever put faith in us when a disaster of this magnitude falling at our feet.”

Wario was a little more than forceful than he meant to be when closing the bedroom door. He was exhausted from hearing Toadsworth’s doom rambling. It was turning the already bad mood even worse. Facing the room again, Wario’s attention went right to his brother.

“Say that one more time.”

Waluigi huffed, arms crossed tightly. “Kamek blamed our dad for these two having powers.”

“Anything about where he is?”

Waluigi shook his head.

Wario let out a low curse before shaking his head. “We’ll…worry about that later. What do we do about the current situation at hand?”

“I face Bowser and get everyone out.” Mario responded immediately. Faltering slightly when Luigi flinched at the name.

“That is a suicide mission,” Wario argued, “Power-Ups aren’t working on either of you and your abilities are no go. You’ll be facing Bowser the most human you’ve ever been.”

“You told me that Bowser’s throwing down a challenge to me. I’m not going to ignore it and just think we’ll have time to recover in some way.”

“What about getting everyone out safely, huh? You might be able to get Peach if you beat Bowser’s ass. But you’ll be facing Kamek and whoever else is with him to get the other three.” said Waluigi.

“I’ll figure something out.”

Waluigi rolled his eyes while Wario let out an exasperated grunt. MArio fully prepared for them to start yelling at him. About how stupid this ‘plan’ was and-

“I’m going with you.”

Mario sharply turned to face Luigi. Who was sliding off the bed to stand. Not looking at Mario.

“Like hell you are.” The older twin quickly argued.

Luigi didn’t back down, even facing Mario with narrowed eyes. “I’m a hero too. I’m going to get Peasley back.”

“While you two are being knights in shiny armor for your crushes, we’ll grab the sisters.” Waluigi casually added on. Wario giving a sharp nod of approval. 

“No!” Mario retaliated quickly, “No, I’m not bringing anyone else into this! Bowser has issued the challenge to me, not to any of you.”

“Fine, then we’ll divide and conquer. You focus on Bowser while we get everyone else out.” said Luigi.

“But…you can’t use Power-Ups either. If something happens you just be-”

“A sitting duck? So will you! At least with me focusing on getting Peasley will keep me far, far away from Bowser.” 

Mario swallowed weakly as his eyes flickered down to his brother’s side. Where claw marks were currently hidden. 

He was broken out of his stupor when a hand landed heavily onto his shoulder. Looking back to find Waluigi standing over him. 

“Stop being an idiot.”

Mario opened his mouth to argue back. Only for realization to hit him and he snapped it shut. Eyes going back to a confused and still determined looking Luigi. 

“...Okay,” Mario eventually said, “But I think it would be best to think of a plan first.”

“Oh, well, as long as you think it’s a good idea to plan now.” Waluigi playfully mocked, unable to keep a pleased smirk off his face.

“Shut up.”

Wario casually dropped an arm over Mario. “Alright Mini-Me, what’s the plan?”

.

.

.

“You’re not a very gracious host. Are you aware of that?”

Peasley couldn’t hold back the wince as a spear easily cut his skin. Golden sap staining another area on his white outfit. 

“Keep your mouth shut.” A Koopa grunted out.

For as much lava as he’d seen at the edge of the barren area, Peasley was freezing. The stone halls of the prison caused the area to be dark and damp. The prince only able to see a few feet in front because of the flickering torches. He was being shepard along by two large Koopa soldiers.

Peach had been taken by Bowser to remain with him in the Lord’s throne room. The sisters whisked away to a different part of the dungeon while Peasley was brought to possibly the lowest part of the darkened area. This no doubt being a deliberate move as Bean citizens don’t thrive well without sunlight. 

Peasley was pulled from his bitter thoughts when the bindings around his wrists were cut. Not mentally quick enough to recognize that he was free before being shoved into an empty cell. It seems somehow darker than the hallways.

“Hope the accommodations are to your liking, your highness.” One soldier snidely commented. Both laughing as Peasley pulled at the cell bars. 

“You don’t scare me,” Peasley growled out, “Luigi will be here soon to rescue me.”

“That coward? Ha! You wish! The only thing he’s good at is running away. Best to get yourself comfortable.” 

Peasley did his best to glare at the Koopa’s retreating backs as they continued to laugh. Only moving when he knew he was along. 

First, tugging and pulling desperately at every bar and even the door in hopes he could find a weak point. When that didn’t work, Peasley turned his attention to the stone structure that he now stood in. He knew he was underground. So, even if parts of the wall could crumble away, he would just be met with dirt. 

“One last thing.”

Kneeling onto the ground, Peasley pressed both hands flat against the large stones. Eyes closing, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself. 

“Please my friends… I need your help…”

A bubble of hope grew as Peasley felt the familiar vibration of a growth coming up from the ground. Only for that bubble to pop as quickly as it formed. Peasley opened his eyes to see a pile of ash, that was no doubt the start of the called upon sprout, now resting before him. 

“No…no, no! Friends, what happened?”

Hands going back to the ground, trying to call out once more. But all received in return were whispers of death and decay. Heart shattering further upon realizing what was happening. This land, even with how limited Bowser had been there, could not longer grow life.

Breathing becoming harsh, Peasley wrapped his arms around himself. The cold became further unbearable, like knives against his skin.

“Luigi…please find me…”

Leon S Kennedy being a dad

My brain is literally rotting and dripping out my ears wtf… i need him

Anyways-

HE IS A GIRL DAD

Leon knew that trying for a baby would probably, y’know, result in a baby, but he was still horribly nervous when he found out he was going to be a dad. He acted cool about it but his nail-beds told a different story.

Even though you’ve told him he needs the rest more than you do because of his job, but he insists on getting up whenever the baby cries in the night. He usually wakes up the next morning sitting on the couch, holding the baby while she sleeps.

Nearly shits himself when he finds out baby #2 is on the way. He’s relaxes so much when he finally gets to hold her for the first time though. He was really just worried about something happening to either of you while you were pregnant.

Whenever he has to go on missions, he feels bad leaving you with two kids under two, but alas, duty called. Always made sure to make up for lost time as soon as he got home.

He’s personally offended when their first word isn’t “papa”. (They were ‘cat’ and ‘now’ respectively)

He lets them dress him up like a Princess for tea parties and shit

He’s also really big on taking family trips, even if it’s something simple like having a picnic at a park

He’s always enjoyed spending time with his girls, but once they gain an attention span (and stop trying to run off) he enjoys taking them to museums and stuff, just wanting to teach them about the world around them.

He’s proud to say that both of his kids go off to school already knowing how to read.

Leon’s always willing to help them with their homework. (even if it is just addition and he’s digging his nails into his hand with frustration)

When they get older he tries so hard to comprehend their interests (what in tarnation was a Frankie Stein?)

Scooby Doo becomes the common ground (it was his favorite show growing up)

Is definitely like the hoahh, yes yes yes yes hoahh vine (PLEASE know what I’m talking about)

He’s literally terrified of/ for them when they become teenagers, forgetting every emotional interaction he’s ever had, but he’s always there for them (fighting the urge to say ‘I told you so’ when Darren the skater breaks her heart)

Never goes to bed until they’re home from wherever they were.

First time one of them stays out past curfew, he’s not angry, he understands that young people are like that sometimes, but he squeezes them to him and makes sure they’re okay before sending them off to bed with a finger wagging and a ‘just call next time, okay’

Gives advice/ answers questions in the most terrifying, convoluted way.

“Listen, you’ll know you have the right one if it sounds like a bone snapping when you break it up.”

“Dad I just asked if the kindling was the right size…”

After they’re both done with the weird emotional stage he’s really cool with them. After they leave for college they’ll come over to visit mom and ‘hang out’ with dad.

He understands them a lot better now that they have more common interests. (He’s now very familiar with monster high lore, and his girls understand the importance of watching the neighborhood from a lawn chair in the garage)
