Do you think the show-only fans are wondering about the string of fate? Are they scratching their heads and wondering who’s string that was there if nobody died yet? Do they think it was a plot hole or something? Just curious.

Kiss the goat

A/N: Horror isekai? Horror isekai, here's part one of the Scream chapters, unedited, hope you like cuz it was so much fun writing

Pairing: Yandere Poly Ghostface x reader

It was such an odd sensation, you don't think you'd ever truly get used to it, no matter how many times it washed over you.

It was always the same, tranquil lull, and it always started in your lower tummy, like this wave of ice cold water suddenly replaced all the blood in your veins.

Whenever you first 'woke up' somewhere new, that damn feeling was always the first thing you noticed, and the only warning you'd get.

This time though, something was different. There was this mix of fear, confusion, and awe tossed in with the lull because you clocked your location immediately.

Ba-dum Ba-dum Ba-dum

For a moment all you could hear was the the blood pounding in your eardrums, slowly , as you forced yourself to breathe, the surrounding noises faded in, at first it was just the chatter of a busy school, then you noticed the shuffle of feet dragging on concrete, with your heart pounding furiously against your rib cage, you pinched your thigh through your baggy blue jeans and began walking, focusing on forcing your feet to move, rather than the millions of other thoughts buzzing through your skull. Why? Well because there you stood, dropped right before the soon-to-be infamous Woodsboro High.

As you walked amongst the crowd of people there were a few things you noticed immediately about yourself, at least this version of yourself, which seemed to change with every new plot you were forcibly thrown in.

The jeans you wore were loose fitting and well loved, small holes in the denim here and there  gave you a typical 90's degenerate vibe, the soft cotton of the band T-shirt you were in felt comfortable against your skin, around your waist hung a oversized burgundy flannel with accents of mustard yellow, the fabric looked old and smelled of weed, a sigh rolled through your chest at the familiar smell, it was a bittersweet reminder of your life before this insanity began.

Glancing down at your outfit made you breath out a sigh of relief, at least you dressed better in this one. In the small shirt pocket, you felt a book of matches, the scratchy texture of telling you what it was without needing to pull it out, good to know.

Shaking your head you try your best to look as bored and uninteresting as possible, you've found these things were best tackled from a stealthy perspective. As you finally enter the school, the second you step through the open doors, there's this intense, hair-raising feeling that washes over you, everything in your gut is saying run away, turn around, but you don't.

Instead, you swallow the fight-or-flight instincts and continue your pace as if you hadn't noticed the predatory stare on you. It didn't surprise you, after all, the self-proclaimed directors of this twisted movie were bound to notice a new player being introduced so suddenly, you just hadn't yet gotten used to the uneasy feeling of being in the presence of a murderer.

Or in this movies case, murderers.

The stares you received from the rest of the student body helped to distract you from the heavy stares burning into you, as you leisurely walked down the halls people either mean-mugged you or ignored you, it helped to get a better feel for the role you'd been assigned, depending on how well you played said role was going to determine whether or not you ended up on the kill count.

For now, you kept it pushing, your hands resting comfortably in the pockets of your jeans, your right hand, which you only now noticed was covered in rings, brushed against the cool touch of something small and metal, you quickly pulled out the object to reveal a switchblade, the handle a glossy white with a simple heart scratched into the surface, quickly you tucked it back where you'd found it.

The grin that had stretched across your face as you traversed the halls was downright wicked, in your mini search you'd also come across a crinkled class schedule and a pack of gum. Curious (e/c) eyes diligently scanned the face of every student that passed, searching for any clue as to when exactly you'd popped in, having a clear timeline in mind made these things run so much smoother.

Casey Beckem gave you that answer in the form of a cliché shoulder check as she rounded the corner. She made a point to dust off the area that had touched you, and her scoff of 'Watch it freak.' made a snort leave your nose, god you loved the 90s, even the bullying was better.

Considering she was still amongst the living, you gathered this was before the start of the movie, fantastic. You pushed forward, far too wrapped up in your building excitement to pay any mind to the very dangerous man you'd caught the sight of.

You found your first class a few minutes early, thankfully the school's layout wasn't too hard to navigate, you were intent on taking proper inventory and prepping as well as you could. The teacher took you in with a surprised noise, clearly judging your character on your appearance.

You'd gotten pretty good at handling your, particular situation, so good in fact you'd begun to relax a little. Taking a seat by the window in the back felt very final girl of you, the thought making you giggle to yourself. Whatever entity responsible for isekaing you into this movie flashed between a real asshole and a slightly smaller asshole with each reincarnation, this time it looked like they were feeling nice as you started with a weapon. 

Your inner workings were put on an abrupt pause as Randy Meeks burst in through the door earning a glare from the otherwise silent teacher. The bright-eyed male made a beeline for you, his expression was akin to a puppy who just had its bone taken away.

"What the Hell San Francisco? I spent the last 15 minutes running around like some mook looking for ya'." he paused to sit down at the desk directly on your right. "You ask a guy to show you around then ditch em'? Cruel, undeniably cruel." You learned pretty quickly to just roll with it whenever someone from Canon spoke to you.

"My bad Meeks, I'll make it up to you." At this, the energetic man rolled his eyes, now leaning even closer. "Oh yeah? Meaning what- you'll actually take me up on my offer instead of responding with that cold familiar brand of cynicism? C'mon, it'll be funnnn." He trailed off in a whine. "Whoever told you begging was an option for you lied." You laughed, shaking your head at the way he visibly deflated.

You kicked your faded black Converse all star's on the back of the seat before you, legs bouncing as you allowed yourself to ponder your answer, the nervous habit had developed sometime between this movie, and one of your earlier incarnations and subsequent deaths.

This was a little more complicated, see the omnipotent fuck who put you here liked to screw with you, very much into the concept of seeing you mix with whatever plot that laid before you, so much so that anytime you fought against whatever scenario you were thrust into in any way you died horribly. The first time you'd been plopped into a movie was the original My Bloody Valentine,- a chill ran through your body like a punch to the gut at the thought, yeah you'd come a long way since then in terms of working the system but nothing was set in stone.

You figured whatever this offer from Randy was, would no doubt tie you into the plot, knowing better than to fight the waves, you pretended to think about it before shrugging. "Sure. I'll bite." The simple statement had him shooting out of his chair to fist pump before quickly falling back in his seat.

"Yessss-okay it's super easy, I spend my time rewinding the utter garbage the general population consumes on a daily." He was practically buzzing in his seat as he spoke. "Once in a while, the boss leaves for an extra long lunch break and I get to watch whatever I want- Child's Play, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street- you name it I got it." The redhead spoke proudly, leaning back against his chair with a self-satisfied look.

"You should be a salesman Meeks." The male bristled beside you, a tinge of red on his cheeks. "Yeah yeah, whatever Frisco- don't come crying to me when you don't have anyone to sit with at lunch." He teased, leaning over his desk, you smile toying with the ring on your hand, popping your neck with a sigh you took a second before responding, "Oh god, how will I ever survive sitting alone, whatever will I do." you spoke in a dead tone making the male at your side pout.

"You're cold (L/n), couldn't even pretend to care about my threat huh?"

You looked over with a teasing grin, "Course' not- I'm not a liar Randy.", it was then and only then that you noticed the tall Blonde unashamedly staring you down from the door.

Stu Macher had made his appearance earlier than expected but you didn't sweat it, or the almost hungry look he was giving you. Nope, not sweating at all. Instead, you quickly averted your eyes, praying he hadn't caught your stare.

He had, naturally.

The taller male nearly took up the entire door frame, he looked a lot more intimidating in person. The playful look on his face was all the more haunting the more you thought about who he really was underneath it. What he was hours away from doing.

Randy, feeling the sudden rise in tension, refused to be left out, and tried to not so subtly block Stu's vision of you by standing up and not so casually sitting on his desk, his back to the future killer. "Anyway Frisco', I don't want you mixin' in with the wrong crowd okay?" He made a point to flick his eyes back towards the now pouting blonde, "Bad company makes for bad times. Just stick with me I'll show you the ropes." He made sure to mutter that last part, his expression drenched in fear for the briefest moment.

Before you could respond Stu had rather aggressively climbed his way over a few desks to plop into the seat in front of you.

His dimpled grin was rather infectious.

"Now that's no way to talk about your friends Randy." He almost seethed out his name making the shorter male curl in on himself like a rabbit, he turned to face you with flare.

"Hi, there hot stuff- Stu Macher, bad company." He took your hand in his much larger one, completely enveloping your own, the tension was broken by the comical handshake, how hard he shook it up and down dispelled all previous bad vibes, his devious little grin only grew at your response, "Hi Stu, I'm (Y/n). Worse company."

"So whatcha' running from in San Francisco? Girl's like you don't just show up outta nowhere for no reason." He didn't even try to hide the way he was checking you out, his half-lidded eyes eagerly drinking in every inch of the alluring stranger before him.

"Who says I'm running big guy? I might be the one doing the chasing." Maybe teasing a soon-to-be serial killer wasn't the smartest move, but you just couldn't help it, he leaned his head into his palm, the wide toothy grin promising nothing but trouble. "I think I like you- come sit with us at lunch."

"You askin' or telling?" You met his heated gaze with a cold indifference that only fueled the ever-growing fire burning in his belly. The larger male quickly fell to his knees from his seat on the chair, bringing his hands together in a dramatic motion, "Pretty pretty please hot new kid come sit with meee." The laugh tumbling past your lips was real, you quickly ushered him back to his seat, "As nice as ya look on your knees- this is embarrassing please get the hell up I'll sit with you."

He backed off with a victorious grin not knowing you'd just lied through your teeth, there was no way in hell you'd willingly put yourself in Billy's cross hairs, Stu was unavoidable apparently, but Billy? You'd hold out as long as you could, when lunch rolled around you managed to convince Randy to eat on the roof, and used the friendly conversation to get more information out of him.

It was during this conversation you discovered in this world, whoever you were, was Randy's new neighbor.

After the school bell had rung for the final time, you made a point to linger around Randy, usually, when you spawned in one of these things the plot was well into swing, but this time you were here early, and the change in routine felt all the more dangerous.

Thankfully, Randy came to your rescue, you tuned back into the conversation just in time to hear him say,

"-if you even want to that is- we'd mostly be watching the classics." He finished nervously glancing to and from, you managed to space back just in time to greet him with a half smile and a shrug. "Lead the way, Meeks."

"It's so cool how you live next door- when you told me at first I thought you were yankin' my chain." He said bouncing his way down the road.

Randy had stumbled home with sleep in his eye sometime around midnight, you weren't too worried for the guy as you knew they hadn't started their spree yet.

That was until the phone rang. 

For a moment all you did was stare. You knew who was on the other end it just didn't make any sense. 

Swallowing the thick ice cube of fear suddenly in your throat, you caught your breath as casually as you could.

As if on autopilot your hand scooped up the house phone, you surprised yourself with how calm your greeting was.

"Hello?.."

"Hey there sweet thing- you're up awful late aren't ya?" You tried to look as casual as you could, steadily making your way to every door, and securing each entrance, but it was hard to ignore the twinge of accusation in his tone.

"You're up too.." Was what you managed to get out, trying to keep your voice steady.

"Hm, that's fair. What were you up to? Have some fun with your boyfriend?" The last word sounded harder than the rest, with no humor in his tone, almost as if it was said through gritted teeth, like whoever spoke it spat the word out.

So he was definitely watching you, your mind racked with the best answer to keep Randy from harm's way.

"Just watching some scary movies with a friend- you like em'?" You asked leaning against the island in your kitchen. "Oh, honey- you've got no idea." Before you could respond he continued, "I will see you later gorgeous." and then he was gone

Okay I’m STILL procrastinating watching s15 bc I’m SCARED so here’s my extremely biased ratings/opinions on the episodes of s14 to help me procrastinate (episodes which are multiple parts of a single story will be condensed into one slot)

Room Zero: SO cute and good, I LOVED the animation style, it was simple and short but really well done with great colors, fun alien designs, and fluid animation, and I just like seeing the guys go on missions like that. It's a shame that the animated show never got picked up bc I would've adored seeing more of it. 10/10

From Stumbled Beginnings: Very cute and funny origin story for Simmons and Grif, and I love that they were p much always together since they enlisted lmao makes their dynamic rlly good and the humor actually got a couple laughs out of me. 8/10

Fifty Shades of Red: Sarge's humor never quite landed with me like is has for some people (my boyfriend lmao I literally have to pause episodes sometimes so he can stop laughing. Anyway) but it was a very humorous and in character origin for him as well. 5/10

Why They’re Here: Less interesting than the previous two, obviously just meant to fill in plot "holes" and to also show us the origins of the other characters. Also I am completely ignoring that one line from Tucker in the interview, just gonna chalk it up to the "edgy" humor it does not exist to me. 4/10

The Brick Gulch Chronicles: WONDERFUL stop motion, very fun and cute and entertaining, very wholesome and still in the vibe with what the show itself is. I appreciate the willingness to do stop motion for most of it. 10/10

Red Army Unit FH57’s Adventure: It was kinda interesting and kinda funny but I found myself kinda tuning it out cuz it just felt kinda whatever. The combo of the different animation styles was cool though and I thought the ship misunderstanding them was funny. 5/10

Locus and Felix: Okay I'm gonna be a black sheep for a second and say that I rlly don't care that much about Locus and Felix. I don't think Felix is a secretly deep sadboi whom I'm gonna spend an unnecessary amount of time thinking about, I don't think Locus as secretly good all along, and I don't care that much about their partnership and what they were like before Chorus. That being said, the animation here is absolutely gorgeous, this is probably my favorite animated story in the whole season, it looks awesome. The plot is nothing special but who cares like I said it's beautiful, 6/10

Fight the Good Fight!: VERY funny and well-executed propaganda video, short and sweet and nothing more to it. It does its job. 5/10

Meta vs. Carolina: Dawn of Awesome: Another one I really don't care for because literally everything leading UP to the fight between Meta and Carolina is a waste of time. Maybe some people really care about their weapons and stats, but I don't. And even then, you kinda know Carolina is gonna win the fight, the question is just how. 4/10

Grey vs. Gray: I don't know or care about the Game Grumps and the entire thing felt like a short gag that went on for way too long with a predictable ending. 2/10

Caboose's Guide to Making Friends: Again, ADORABLE art style and very cute having a story be told from Caboose's perspective. 7/10

Head Cannon: Kinda funny I guess. I wish we'd gotten it spread out more equally among the heads Omega jumped into. Ik he didn't spend equal time in there but who cares. Whatever, still funny. 5/10

Get Bent: I LAUGHED PROBABLY THE HARDEST AT THIS ONE AND THAT'S MOSTLY BC OF LESBIAN DONUT IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND IT WAS HILARIOUS (also hello, bisexual church?) 9/10

Red vs. Blue: The Musical: it was fine. it was creative. The dancing was well animated. Enjoyable. 5/10

Mr. Red vs. Mr. Blue: I haven't seen Reservoir Dogs but Kaikaina was in this which automatically boosts it to a 8/10 (I also like that they have movie nights it's cute)

RvB Throwdown: Fine but mostly forgettable. 3/10

The Triplets Story: REALLY interesting concept (y'all know I love the freelancers) that felt like it dragged on too long and only gave Ohio something to do. 4/10

Immersion: The Warthog Flip: I loved the costumes and the actual Warthog and it got a couple laughs out of me. 5/10

Red vs. Blue vs. Rooster Teeth: This was made for the fans/themselves. As someone who is neither, none of it was funny and I just kinda waited for it to be over. At least the animation of the armor irl looked rlly good

Heyyo saw your au on twst and sky cotl. Regarding skyYuu being hurt by rain, if your talking about the rain in Hidden Forest? Cuz the rain in the forest was cuz it was toxic.

Also, you can swim and dive in sky. Your sky Kid is going to dependent on air bubbles, plus swimming much faster will drain some light. Opening, clams big or small can regain light, also some plants and fish can help sky Kid regain light. This is in an area on the west side of the lobby area of the Golden Wasteland (b4 going schwoop by the wind/tornado). There's a boat there, and you'll be able to visit the area. There are some Krill in the area, and

SPOILER ALERT

There is a big ass Krill thingy and it almost ate the sky Kid.

Fair point, I suppose I just really like the idea of the sky kids having a vulnerability that twst characters may see as odd/be unable to predict until they see it pan out.

And besides! There are little answers to these plot holes - perhaps the rain in TWST has magical properties of some sort where it acts like the forest rain does in Sky - only affecting the sky kids. It'd also add a nifty little thing where Kalim's UM is very very scary for the lil guys!

Or! Perhaps pollution in rainwater could be an issue - although such a thing works better in urban environments, I suppose. Sage Island doesn't seem as polluted as the modern world, after all...

(Besides, I can fudge the details a little bit for the sake of having fun with an AU/Fic (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠))

And yes, I'm well aware of the treasure reef! It'll be mentioned when I get to chapter three lol - the gang is gonna have to stop these kids from trying to crack open live clams (Floyd just accepts the free snacks tho haha)

The giant krills (I've seen them be called leviathans but don't take my word for it lol) scared me senseless the first time I went through that quest - it looked very beautiful in the PlayStation trailer though!

Anyway, this is all just my take on the potential for a crossover - you're free to have your own ideas/thoughts! It's fun to see different perspectives on an idea!

So do you think the writing team was villanizing the critics through the curious cat seeing how they were the ones who basically went all meta in pointing out plot holes and other talking points critics have been bringing up for years only for him to turn out to be a villain in the end and he needed to be destroyed? Cuz I feel like they were doing that. At this point rooster teeth's writing is starting to feel a bit spiteful which is funny considering how much they hate Adam who embodied spite.

Personally, I don't think the comparison extends that far. Meaning, I don't believe this is a case of, "The Curious Cat represents critics and now look, those evil critics die!" because that's just too conspiratorial, there's too little connection between the Cat/the fandom, the Cat was clearly always meant to be the Volume's baddie no matter what throwaway lines they were given, the writing team has a HELL of a lot more to worry about than what a small pocket of people are saying online, etc.

Case in point: the Cat's observations aren't actually what fans have been criticizing for years, at least not in my experience. I go into this in more depth in my recap (which istg I'm writing! lol) but almost no one cares about the ~implications~ of Ozpin and Oscar sharing a body, Atlas floating is a bottom rung concern when it comes to how the Relics are used, and Ciel is likewise inconsequential compared to other characters who have been forgotten by the narrative (Sun, Ilia, Neptune, Maria, Tai, Glynda, etc.). The only thing the Cat says that feels like it's accurately representing criticism of RWBY is the observation that it's impossible to keep track of so many characters.

So yeah, I do think it's a general dig at the less optimistic pockets of the fandom. The Cat's language in that scene -- "Characters" people returning in a "Notable way" -- conveys an awareness of RWBY as a fictional story that they don't otherwise demonstrate. From an in-world perspective, the Cat is talking about real people whose world they want access to... yet for this one, strange exchange they function more as the creator's mouthpiece, poking fun at those who have criticized a fictional, WIP webseries. Of course, it's only really fun if you're a) of the opinion that RWBY is pretty much perfect or b) are still enjoying it enough to laugh off a self-aware acknowledgement of its many problems. A lot of fans aren't in either category, hence it comes across as a little spiteful at worst, simply ignorant at best.

Despite what anti-rwde folks would have you believe, that tiny corner of the fandom is not bombarding the creators with harassment and, as said, professional writers have a lot more to worry about than browsing through a handful of tumblr blogs and one subreddit. I truly doubt they're on the up-and-up about complaints. So I think the Cat's observations demonstrate that they're aware that criticism generally exists (as any creator would be), but they don't know enough to accurately write about what fans are criticizing. They've picked random things that they believe people might feasibly be up in arms about -- "Omg you made a man live with a child in his body! Having a floating city when 95% of the monsters in this show can't can't fly is so stupid! How dare you not bring back this one-line character from six Volumes ago!!" -- with, as my writing there demonstrates, perhaps a dash of deliberately choosing kinda absurd "criticisms" because the whole point of this moment is for the audience to laugh at the Cat's overly-enthusiastic concern. So do I think that moment is meant to be a fictionalized and generalized rolling-their-eyes-at-critics moment? Yeah. Do I think that extends to the Cat's narrative purpose as a whole and we should read them as the metaphorical critics reaching their deserved end? No. There's pretty much no basis for that.

It is still frustrating though, especially given Volume 9 as a whole. If you are unhappy with RWBY after a two year hiatus and are questioning this filler season, having one of the new characters imply how silly it is to be worried about dropped concepts and too many characters isn't going to be received very well, regardless of whether it's just intended to be a joke.

Imagine if the player got bored or something and used Y/N as a vessel to flirt with Dust.

That would be so out of pocket.

hmmm. well that is a good idea but...

I was thinking something even more interesting.

I won't elaborate since that plotline is for my Thornbound souls fic but yeah I've had this idea before. just... with a plot twist or... two

in the meantime though enjoy this short little fic!

you were in the lion's den and one mistake could cost you your reset.

but you liked to gamble. going all in on a bet made your heart beat fast with excitement.

how good WAS your y/n impression actually? you were fairly confident you could mimick their behavior and personallity...

though... it would be even more natural to have the vessel be in full control... while you simply observed and felt things from their perspective. let them take the lead.

or maybe they would? as long as they made the same choices y/n would've made anyways, there was no distress in the soul and they'd be completely in sync and unrecognizable. but?

one missed heartbeat... a TINY BIT of indecisive behavior and they KNEW he'd pick that up on the MOMENT their soul studders.

they knew he had his senses hyperfixed on this humans pathetic mushy soul.

what did he see in them anyway?...

you sigh feeling a slight throb in you head but it disappeared the moment you open your eyes.

you can't help but notice a familiar hooded figure is watching you, his eyelights observing you silently.

🩶[close your eyes again and pretend to be sleeping so he'll go away. it's just a dream y/n you're still dreaming.]

"stop staring at me."

"... why are you still here... am I still dreaming?"

you close your eyes swiftly as you try to ignore the sound of your definitely NOT real paralysis demon strapping closer... closer...

he's right there you don't dare open your eyes you KNOW his face is only millimeters away from yours cuz you can FEEL his eyelights digging into your soul.

nope. you aren't seeing him. he's fake. you're just tired. he's not real. you just need to MOVE your hand and see if you can touch air.

... your hand... slips through the air. there's actually nothing there?

🩶[check]

you open your right eye squinting... nothing there.

you open the other one to get jumpscared by his face against.

🩶"EEP! "

[eye roll]

[stare into the void. maybe he'll go away???]

you let out a small scared squeak ducking under the comfort of your pillow... then look back.

yep. still there. still VERY MUCH THERE.

/your ears barely pick up the sound of a small chuckle./

/.../

/you're starting to see the appeal actually... this vessel is kinda adorable./

before you can make a choice however,

you find yourself glaring at the skeleton as you step out of bed, walking up to him with a stubborn face.

"why are you here?"

/huh... without input? they're pissed hehehehe./

"just checking up on you" he shrugged.

"don't you have some... demon thingy to catch or something." you mutter half heartedly.

"lost their trace. soooo knowing that freak YOU'RE the most likely person they'll cling onto"

/PFFFFT- *spits out coffee*/

/HOLY FUK... dude... dude I'm not sus. I swear./

"... I think I would KNOW if I'm possessed." you roll your eyes.

"I can tell" his grin sharpens.

"can you stop giving me vague threats!? I'm NOT GONNA... GO ON SOME DUMB... cosmic black hole time warping... WHATEVER THE HELL YOU SAID!" you glare at him.

"it's okay. take your time. either the mask slips or you're right and I'm just paranoid. the more we talk the more I'll get to... test your answers."

"you're fucking crazy."

"I know what I am."

🩶"just leave me alone... last thing I need is you telling me my choices aren't my own. FUCK off."

his sockets squint... as if he's looking for something in your stubborn face...

but... he doesn't find it.

he sighs.

"I'll look around again. DO NOT LEAVE . I WILL FIND YOU."

he warps away.

now was your chance to get out! yet... you feel inclined to stay. you don't want to leave-

stay??? why should you stay? HE KIDNAPPED YOU? why did you hang such a silly though+

*PING

a skeletal hand pulls at your soul TEARING it through the vessel.

"GOTCHA" he chuckled.

💔

GAME OVER.

[incarnateirony]

...looking back it's genuinely quite funny that after I went "hey dickbags and hate readers, hey Vinnie, Kelios, do you remember how we met, who I was talking to, what angle I was in day one in fandom, who you took a shit right in front of the salad of? Cuz you kinda dug this hole by yourselves" I start getting hate anons like OH YEAH? WELL THE SHOW SUCKS RESEARCH WHAT PEOPLE LIKE BETTER

... SDJFSKDJFkjSDFJSDJFs soooo... you RECOGNIZE I've been telling the truth the whole time then now that all the context is falling into place. Neat.

Seriously guys. Leave. The only ones trapping you here are yourselves. It's not that you can't escape the life, cricket, it's that you can't escape the choices you made in that life.

Gee. It's almost like all those years of taking lightning and hellfire from wincels, hellers, just about every lane in trying to give insight to authors and remove bad faith against them was like. For a reason? I didn't just do it for the fucksies of getting thousands of hate anons a week for the jollies? Weird. Almost like if you guys had considered others human beings with their own perspectives, you might have sat and thunk beyond your own screaming reflexes on why I weathered that. And it's not that you guys didn't know the truth deep down. You feared it, and you did everything you could to flush, delete, and suppress it, and your empire is over now.

Weird. Almost like. You guys should have started paying attention a LONG time ago. It's time to sit down, shut up, and start listening, and if you are physically incapable of that, it's time to fuck off to the void. No, seriously, that's even the plot. Pick one.

You. Did. This. To. Yourselves.

This is what was right. This was the path that I chose to follow. And it's taken many years, and you guys turned left at Albequerque years ago and haven't even considered turning back. It was the Way, and no amount of hate or screeching from anyone with any kind of agenda can turn this carriage around now. Sorry.

Jensen wasn't the only one with a long con, there was an entire PACK. Jensen was the last one to onboard, a welcome surprise, and the final key. The next was putting Robbie on the front instead of Bobo because you guys cared so little about the truth or authors to realize how close they are and that they plotshare anyway while bobo was twice burned anyway, he just passed the baton back to the buddy that passed it to him to begin with. The rest is already history. Cope. You've been outgamed. This is a holdup. The vault is already empty. It's showtime.

the ending of take two was pretty lame ngl but it's still better than forcing any ship as an endgame cuz it would have most prolly made a major plot hole ig and the angst was so good in the whole series and literally live for the way their relationships kinda became beyond repair (esp ynki) tbh but idk what i could even expect i mean it was really so hard to imagine any happy ending that made sense in this story cuz it really looked pretty lame but love this whole work tho and you really did an excellent job changing my brain chemistry cuz my bias literally changed from Riki to jungwon and idt i would ever be able to look Riki the same way altho ik it's just a fic smau but damn it really changed how i perceive love and infidelity (lmao is this even the right word) but i really wanted to see Riki physically suffer more this whole time cuz i think he still had it the most easy among all three and come on jungwon was the least wrong out of all of them and yn did NOT just ditched her friends for 4lyfers,,, that shits embarrassing. I'll literally read it ig every month again and again cuz idt I'll ever find some worth its competition it was so fucking good girllll I'm proud of you and also all the best for your exams take care love ya

hi yes i know it was lame bc i didn't know how to end it . look, i changed the plot three times and the ending i had was like 'ooo kiss jungwon, date him!' but while writing that chapter, i was like 'wait this is wrong on so many levels' and so i had another job, which was for yn to clear shit up with riki. besides, giving yn a 'happy ending' didn't feel right bc she has been having it easier than all of us ( even the readers lmfao ) she got miya in jail, got jw, has riki, had a good vacay, it was like this thing didn't even touch her while the other two are :/ focusing on how much more sensitive this was for won and ki bc they're not only friends but group mates and it could seriously affect their group dynamics. so i decided that yn doesn't deserve anyone, at least not yet.

AND NOT U CHANGING UR BIAS OH GOD EVERYONE TAKE TWO RIKI ISN'T REAL HE WOULD NEVER DO WHAT HE DID PLSS ANON GO BACK TO LOOKING AT HIM THE WAY U USED TO im so sorry 😭😭😭 cant believe im altering opinions here plsss riki my sincerest apologies 🙏 hmm and i think riki had it easier too, but maybe not. we all have different perspectives so!!! this was fun to read and omg the last part made me smile so much, thank u for thinking so highly of my silly little smau :(

sorry for yet another question about fallout fanfic writing, but How much of fallout's lore can i change and throw away before it becomes me writing a original fiction story that is fallout in name only? I've always wanted to write fallout fanfic cuz i feel like Canon fallout is very lacking in chinese rep that isn't ex military related and it makes me feel like Fallout is saying that Chinese people will always be an other that needs to be integrated into the post apocaplyse american communites, as opposed to always being a part of america and surviving into the post apcaplyse. But it jsut seems to me like canon wise, the only option to fit chinese character in is either ghouls that are ex military, or like descendent of military deserters. I think aside from Little Yangtze, there's no other mention of any group of just Chinese americans in fallout. I know that if i want Chinese rep in fallout that isn't ex military, i need to make it myself, but i am also not too sure how much of fallout's lore i should mess with.

The honest answer is that you can change as much as you want, but it's going to be a personal decision whether it remains a Fallout fanfiction or not if you change it past the point of recognizability.

Everyone is allowed to enjoy something, and often fan media takes to the task of "fixing" things that are perceived as "broken" with the source media, from minor things like apparent plot holes to major things like improving its representation. To that end, you're allowed to change and throw away as much of Fallout's lore as you want. It's your story, you can do whatever (I've certainly done as much, with mostly minor but still fairly obvious changes to the lore and plot proceedings in @ikroah so far). People looking for "Fallout fanfiction" who come across your story will then personally decide for themselves whether your writing qualifies as such to them, but this can't be controlled any more than whether they like it or not can be controlled.

But to that end, it's your story. When I'm not on this website I'm making original art and fiction and I like to encourage people to do the same when possible. I'm not saying you need to drop everything and put out the next great hit novel, and ultimately your inclination to make original fiction is going to depend on how serious you'd like to take your writing and what appeals to you or not about fanfiction specifically (whether that's the pack-in nature of characters and settings that are ready to use to you, your interest in and desire to comment on the source material, or the communality of fanfic writing and reading communities). If it becomes so different that people looking for "Fallout fanfiction" are turned off, maybe it'll be so different that if you write it with that intention, it'll appeal instead to those looking for original post-apocalyptic sci-fi, especially from a Chinese perspective.

So if you're planning this out, and the need to correct every way that Fallout has failed Chinese(-American) people starts to feel like going through a not-so-bright child's essay with red pen, then just remember that it's a liability. You have the power to write your own post-apocalyptic story about whatever you want where Chinese characters are front and center, not grafted on in that way but there from the very core of the idea, not as bygone antagonists or afterthoughts but as main characters whose race, culture, language, and customs are integral parts of the narrative. If you find a solution to this problem within the confines of the Fallout setting and Fallout fandom, then that's wonderful for you. But if this is something that you continue to be worried about as you develop your idea, then just keep what I've said in mind.

#it's worth noting that i am biased because #i am someone who absolutely does not give a shit about 'representation' from mainstream media e.g. video games and blockbuster movies #i prefer to seek out stories directly by and directly about people of the identities that i'm interested in reading about #whether that's my own or other identities #because they're out there! in history and in our present! gems of the past and independent creators abound everywhere if you just know wher #asks #advice

Someone mentioned the idea that if Lady Bone Demon has been messing with memories like theorized, that Host could fix them with the leftover power she got from her possession. Thoughts?

Dat idea comes from starsfic, don't it

Hmm... I don't really have many because I'm kind of a skeptic of the "Messing with memories" theory since it's based on like. One Line. And storytelling-wise it seems kinda impractical to me to do without tellin The Audience because it makes SO Many plot points uncertain which in turn takes away from the characters’ richness n stability, therefore makes them less engaging. The story kind of falls apart at the seams like that. N doesn't make much sense for me why she wouldn't mess with the memories more effectively than what she has goin on rn, too

But aight, lessa say that WBS has the power to earworm her way into a noggin in the first place. I’d really like to first understand how a power like that works. Is there a cooldown? Does it take a lot of energy away? Or is it the same thing like with what I’m thinkin with Six Ear’s time hearing power that some aspects of it are easy to do but some are just So ridiculously hard to properly handle that they just aren’t worth it? There IS the pressing issue that a mind is something that we don’t really understand. Memories may have designated places in the brain n we can somewhat categorize them, but they are still rather confusing

I’d guess that for the Host to properly utilize this ability, she’d have to train ridiculously a lot and with some minor things to be able to really do anything. And even after she does learn or IF she just can do the controlling thing automatically cuz she inherited the skill thru the possession, one still gotta question what type of fuck up happened to the memories. Could they have been just straight up deleted? Are they just suppressed, moved to somewhere else where the subject can’t access them? Repairing is always harder than just destroying a thing.. She can’t exactly recreate something that she does not know how looked - and recreating a memory just from hearing the retelling of the events from another doesn’t seem like a good idea to me because biases are still present, the timeline might not match up, the perspective is going to be weird, there are going to be holes in it because the reteller wouldn’t have known what did the subject do while, for example, darting behind a rock Tho I do suppose that the holes could just be blamed on natural degredation of memories and the brain

But putting the hard realism logistics away, the idea do kinda sounds fun, not gon lie. I’d imagine that it would be difficult to actually get to do it, she would probably seek permission since that is a giant breach of privacy n people like Six are going to make that incredibly difficult. If not by his attitude, he absolutely would have Some kind of shields up against psychic attacks at the post-s3 point. The idea of the Host first explaining her deal, him refusing, leaving and then later he kidnaps her because he thought about it and,,, maybe it would be..,., a Bit beneficial to undergo a thing like this...? Perhaps??

A situation would create really tasty tension between them and worries back home with team Xiaotian. Six’s head must be so fuckin messed up, it’d probably take a good while for her to comb through the memories Just to find the faulty things and then fix them too?? That poor rebenok is going to be absolutely exhausted, might not even get to finish it all

#Spot says stuff #lmk #lowkey blankin on who the fuck else might have fucked memories #the fuckin jt/tw book i guess??? SWK is prolly fine. chef zhu and tang shifu n Prolly sha dali have no reason to Know bout their powers if- #-they are reincarnations of the ogs theres a literal system in place for forgettin shit like that #ngl Six- if he truly went to hell- MIGHT have actually just gotten a sippy of the Forgetto Soup™ n then WBS just told him stuff no- #-memories magic of her own needed there

Y'all suck at dissecting Kai's character, so I guess I have to do it.

And I'm not even a Kai stan. He's a bottom tier ninja for me, which I guess means you can trust me, cuz I'm not biased, but also why am I the one doing this? I don't know about y'all, but recently on my dash, the method by which Kai fans try to make him sound good is... saying the writers hate him, ignore him, and that he isn't written well? Which... I mean there is a little bit of truth to, but like yikes guys, is this the best you got? Kai is a wonderful character with plenty of attention from the writers, a meaningful piece of the cast when put in secondary rolls, fairly consistent character writing with actual progression and valuable qualities that help the team without having to be the smart one- despite what some posts might tell you.

Let's get one thing cleared up: Ninjago isn't the best written show. By high level Hollywood standards, most the character arcs are kinda weak or too heavy handed, character consistency can be iffy, and most things serve the plot rather than the characters. There is no character you can point to and say "wow, this character is written so well! No complaints!" Nya and Jay were butchered by their weird love plot, Cole's one season doesn't actually give him an arc, Zane's been nothing but the robot numbers guy for like 10 seasons now, and Lloyd seems to be incapable of doing anything but relive the same one piece of dad angst for depth. Sorry, it's true. All the characters suck when you look at it from a large scale writing perspective. So when I say Kai is well written, I mean by ninjago kids show standards- cuz that's the scale we're working on. No, you couldn't drop Kai into a well written drama, but as far as ninjago goes... he's got a lot going for him, and by no means is he the biggest victim of poor writing.

(fair warning, wall of text below)

The title is a bit disingenuous. There are plenty of good Kai character break downs. What I am presenting here is a more positive perspective. On the whole, I will tend to give the writers the benefit of the doubt, and credit for what they do right writing is hard guys. That's what I'm doing here. I don't see much sense in getting mad the writers on behalf of Kai, or any other character. Ninjago is a simplistic ensemble show that works because of the identifiable simplicity of its main characters with some deeper layers hidden underneath if you keep watching. They've given us a damn good show with some damn enjoyable characters, so here are some criticisms I feel are a little flawed:

First, let's get the 'focus' thing out of the way. Apparently there are people saying Kai doesn't have a season yet? Which... what? I mean, I get that the pilots aren't a full season, the first two seasons, though he is the central protagonist, aren't "Kai seasons" as we've come to define ninja focus seasons, season 7, though he gets majority focus, he shares with his sister. But like... did y'all just forget about season 4? You know, the season where he had the title card, was on the box sets, got the love interest, and the majority of the A-plot? not to mention it's the best season don't @ me Like... if season 4 isn't a Kai season, I can make a damn good argument that season 3 isn't a Zane season, and I doubt anyone wants to go down that rabbit hole. I really can't wrap my head around this one. And I get that the fandom hates season 11 for some reason, but like you can't just pretend it doesn't exist. Kai has a consistent arc across 30 episodes in which he takes his powers for granted, loses them, and learns that, not only does he have value within the team without them, but that his element is intrinsically a part of him that he reclaims, bringing them back more powerful than ever, and with new respect for them. That's one of the most solid arcs in the whole series- the location is even thematically connected to his element. That's some good stuff right there! (Quick plug for season 11 if you haven't watched it in a while. Give it a rewatch, you might be pleasantly surprised)

Not to mention the writers give him fun side stuff all the time. Lots of fears of tech and water to overcome, a deep protective streak with Lloyd, becoming a chancellor, having a true potential actually relevant to the plot as a whole, blacksmith responsibilities, befriending dragons, hanging out with his dad. Not to mention actual focus stuff we haven't talked about yet, like his whole "my dad is evil" phase, and his "I might be evil" phase with him and Skylor. And on top of that, even when he doesn't have an explicit side plot, he's always just a fun and dynamic side character to make jokes or give exposition.

Now, into character stuff. Let's start with Kai's hot headed-ness. Some people say he's been loosing this quality, and I will admit, that's true! But those that claim this makes him inconsistent... I strongly disagree. In early seasons, Kai's temper would lead him to snap at his friends or make stupid decisions that set the team back (see episode 2 Zane freak out)- these are bad things. These are character flaws, yes? Now, in newer seasons, people say that he's inconsistent, cuz sometimes he'll be hot headed, and sometimes he won't. I'd say, this is exactly how being hot headed... works? It flares up without warning, and as an individual gets control of it, it'll pop up less and less often because they're channeling it into productive things - like say directing the anger towards an enemy (see season 11 end freak out). Kai has gained control of a character flaw, and though it still pops up on occasion, the fact that it's a once in a while kind of thing speaks to his growth. I have a little brother who has this exact personality, and watching him grow up, I can tell you, this is how it is. He used to snap all the time, and he still does sometimes, but much less frequently, because he's a more mature person with better control of his emotions. This is a good thing. This is overcoming personal flaws. This is progression we're seeing.

And while you're hyper focused on this one aspect of him, things like his cocky confidence haven't changed a bit. I mean, that season 3 bit between him and Pixal, and his season 11 "fire maker" streak have the exact same energy. You can not convince me otherwise.

Another adjacent quality that hasn't been dampened is Kai's impulsiveness. This can be a good quality of his, he'll get into a fight without thinking, getting the jump on the enemy. Good stuff. But, this has become such a well defined trait of Kai's that it has been used in a comedic capacity. This is what happens when a character is extremely consistent to the extent that both the audience and the characters in universe would be able to predict their actions. Kai's impulsivity used to be a more serious quality that put himself and others at risk, and was a big power move whenever he did something rash, but it's become such a staple of the show that it's now being used for comedy. That isn't Kai's impulsivity going away, that's Kai's impulsivity being recontextualized for the sake of the show. The season 9 "Who's stupid enough to jump on that thing" isn't a joke at the expense of Kai just for being dumb, it's a joke at Kai's being so predictably impulsive that everyone already knows he'll be the one to put himself in an insane amount of danger without thinking twice (you know, something stupid that might get him killed). But because in this instance, the danger is warranted, this is bravery. It's a complement to his character- it's what ends up defeating the colossus. Why are some people so bothered by this joke?

Oh right, cuz for some reason people want to peg Kai as the smart one? Look, Kai isn't stupid, none of the ninja are. All of them have smart moments (all of them have dumb ones too) and Kai can certainly handle himself, but "smart" is definitely not one of his defining characteristics- I think some people are confusing smart for his actual strength. Connected to his impulsivity, Kai has very good simplistic instincts. He sees the big picture and looks at the most surface level solution- which when the situation calls for it, that does indeed make him smart. But the same logic that led him to think "This snake has a glowing target on its head, lets hit it" also led him to think "I'm in a video game, therefore I am immortal." Are you really going to look at me and say he figured out Lloyd was the green ninja through logical deduction and a careful consideration of the facts? No. He had a gut feeling, and he trusted it. Instincts- instincts paired with his impulsive following of said instincts is what leads him to solve problems- and sometimes, that can be extremely effective. This goes for other ninja too. Jay isn't the smartest ninja- I would really only classify Zane and Nya as having intelligence define them (hence their ship name). But Jay is extremely creative and crafty. He also knows his was around mechanics, and as such, this will lead him to come up with creative tech based solutions which are smart. But, idk about you, if I had to point to another ninja as being 'dumb' it would 100% be Jay. Kai is a lot of things. He's passionate and determined and confident and persistent. He's a good improvisor, he's powerful and he's charming! These are all wonderful qualities, he doesn't also have to be the smart one. I am the worlds biggest Pixal stan, and she's a smart, sassy, powerful character, but I'm not gonna sit here and tell you she's also hilarious and adaptable and strong willed. She's a straight man to all the ninja's antics, extremely tied to her samurai x suit, and lets people push her around all the time. That doesn't mean she can't be funny, or self interested, but when she does act these ways, it stems from her other more prominent qualities. That make sense?

And while we're clearing up what Kai isn't, please stop characterizing Kai as an overly protective brother - especially romantically. The only two times he's been romantically protective to Nya are in Wu's Teas which I mean, come on and in the pilots when Jay is literally a stranger. For crying out loud, by the end of the pilot, he's smiling when Jay and Nya hug. That's not overly protective, that's just normal, any reasonable person would react this way, protective. And it's such a great stereotype break for a kids show like ninjago, having an older brother who actually trusts his younger sister to be her own independent person who can make her own decisions. I mean, I guess it's fine if you HC differently but like... idk, I don't buy it.

Now, is there still room to criticize the writers? Yes. Hell yes. But not to an extent greater than any other character. Could he have had more of a defined reaction to events of the most recent season that I won't name for the sake of spoilers? Yes. But could Zane have reacted for more than .5 seconds at being an evil war lord for apparently 60 years? Yeah. Has Kai taken a back seat in the past 4 seasons? Yeah. But so has Lloyd- and he's literally the main character of the show. Not to mention two of those seasons have gone to people who had to wait over ten seasons to get one to themselves, and one of them is a 40 minute special. Kai's doing just fine.

Anyway. Kai is great. He's a fun, stereotype breaking, impulsively driven, ball of energy and confidence who gets a good amount of screen time and some fun side plots.

One last thing to clear up: no hate to anyone. This isn't targeted at anyone specific, this post has been a long time coming, I've just seen some weird overblown claims on various platforms over the past few months and I finally sat down to write about it.

I like the Kai content we have. After all, if the writers were really that bad at writing him, then no one would like him.

Wow this was so much longer than I thought it would be. Um... if you have other long winded rants you'd like to see from me... let me know I guess?

[raamitsu]

Three days ago I wanted to write something about the akashi's and how their family problem could be a bit correlated with the sano's and izana's family issues. In addition, I also wanna point out tenjiku × bonten parallel. You’d probably have seen theories about these two already— therefore, you may assume that this post is a way for me to show my absolute agreement. Pardon me for not knowing how to even start an intro so lemme get to the point anyway.

⚠️ TR MANGA SPOILERS BELOW ⚠️

AKASHI × SANO ?

Basically three days ago, senju’s statement in these panels where she was talking about haruchiyo suddenly popped out in my mind. Then, I remembered that there were panels where emma also did the same thing; which is revealing their other big brother’s identity.

To make it short, this is just my assumption and I’m not pretty smart to look deeper of what comes next in the tr verse, but I thought that maybe both akashi and sano family is a parallel to each other. Perhaps it’s true that takeomi and haruchiyo could possibly being resentful to each other just like how others speculated, and that it takes us back to a certain chapter where izana was seriously mad because shinichiro lied about him being his blood-related big brother but truth is they never were in the first place. Izana then was consumed by loneliness, developed jealousy towards mikey and even tried to destroy him. However, the actual story behind takeomi and haruchiyo’s relationship remains unknown or unforeseen. It could be the same case with shinchiro and izana but in a different perspective or maybe nothing like it at all. Looking forward to their backstory. Hoping for no plot holes.

Here’s how the family tree goes (I’ll try to make it easier to understand) :

Shinichiro & Mikey > same parents (A & A)

Emma > same father, different mother (A & B)

= Shinichiro, Mikey & Emma >> blood-related.

Izana > different dad, different mom (C & C) + His mother was a filipino and she’s the one who gave birth to him, therefore he’s a mixed child.

Emma’s biological mother married to Izana’s father. He got chased by thugs and died (C & B)

= Izana + Shinichiro, Mikey, Emma >> not blood-related.

And now…

TENJIKU × BONTEN PARALLEL

As you can see from the panels above, the origin of tenjiku began when izana beaten up the prisoners, recruited the s62 generations as its members. I had a thought, perhaps bonten in the future before takemichi got involved in the same timeline that was possibly leading to its path was created the same "vicious" way if we take a look at mikey's state in the latest chapter leaks. It existed in commorative of izana, with a tattoo of a pattern of his earrings that each members had on a certain sensitive part of their bodies. I actually didn't understand why bonten was created upon him, I mean- what was actually happening in the past 10 years for it to exist? Since we all know that kakucho, who was the closest to izana, joined mikey in bonten, I wonder which one of them approached first and begin to ask/talk about izana? Besides, I also think that bonten was created simply to fulfill both izana and kakucho's wish that they had together at the orphanage. This is merely an assumption. Honestly in my opinion, if only it is true, then I must say that there are many decent ways to make it happen but... yeah idk.

Now that mikey has gone insanely vicious in the recent arc, there's no way bonten won't possibly exists but who knows, right? Before this, there was a speculation that draken probably got involved alone without takemichi to bring mikey back but gave up after seeing how mikey was nowhere near saving, thus why he lied to takemichi in order for him to stay away and never got involved, even mikey asked him to do the same, but knowing how a heart of gold takemichi is, he certainly wouldn't be able to give up on mikey. Of course it is still too early to assume cuz we're just now almost reached to the outcome of the three deities war. Will minami die anyway even after takemichi tried to stop mikey from killing him? Will senju also in a huge risk thus resulting the future vision to come true? Will someone take an action to stop mikey and get hurt so badly instead? By the way, please don't take me seriously. I was just intended to share what I had in mind.

In advance, thank you for reading ☺️✌🏼

#tokyo revengers #tokyo revengers manga #tokyo revengers manga spoilers #tokyo manji kai #tokyo manji gang #tokrev #tokyorev #I'm still wondering why only takeomi joined bonten? I mean what was his other reasons beside losing his sister and... money and power? #was senju benkei and waka really died in the past for them not to be present in the future bonten? or was it the opposite? like draken? #minami was probably dead too in the past seeing his state in the recent arc... that only if his death is inevitable

Five Funny Little Moments #30: Warrior…Princess…Tramp

Thanks for the encouragement, @screwyourdefaults! I’ll try again with these no matter how much fun I’m just not having with season two thus far, from an FFLM perspective. Anyway, without further ado… No, wait! CAUTION: I am bitter today! My stalker struck again mid-post-making and put me in an even worse mood. Sorry. / Skip this post if necessary. 🥲

.

So, Joxer spends this episode in a different place than is oft-remembered overall. I almost forgot that he lusted after Xena first and even saw Gabrielle as a child way back when. Which makes his later pining for her even more scummy, but there you go. Also, he is not yet Joxer the Mighty but rather Joxer the Magnificent here, which I actually forgot. And now reminds me of Gurkhan. Yikes, Jox.

Meg is awesome; I’ll give this episode that. But while she is usually remembered for being illiterate, she was also innumerate (another thing I forgot). And, of course, hilariously weird. Or is it just Lucy who’s a whackadoo? ’Cuz I well remember when Meg popped out of that cake in “Soul Possession” singing and dancing to the original, uh, lullaby that Lucy apparently used to put to her son Julius* to sleep with each night. What does THAT even mean? Did she find her infant son sexy, and that’s why her song for him was her go-to while acting as a prostitute dressed in a very risqué bikini and trying to seduce a bummed-out god? And what does that say about Rob who presumably signed off on Lu’s decision? Ahem. Anyway, this scene is a reverse of that moment. Instead of singing a lullaby to a potential, ahm, client, Meg’s sings a barroom song to “her” baby. After all her effort to impersonate Diana too (not to mention, success with King Lias and Xena)! LOLz Okie.

Oh, Gabrielle. First, you insult Xena by not being able to tell her apart from an acquaintance or complete stranger, despite having lived with and idolized the warrior princess for more than a year. Then, you don’t have the sense to duck when her chakram is coming right at you! Need I remind you what happened to King Lias’s crown after Diana threw the chakram? Why take that chance if you weren’t sure who was in front of you? 😂 Even Joxer knew enough to not just stand there! (Also, I like how he and Xena mirrored each other’s expressions for a couple of shots there.) And, naturally, Xena vented her hurt/frustration by not only pulling that stunt with the chakram but also unnecessarily breaking a bunch of stuff belonging to the people she’s trying to help. LOLz, part …who knows?

Oh, really, Xena? Then why do you still feel guilty and let that emotion rule your life, eh? Yet another instance of Xena being unable to practice what she preaches. heh Ah well.

Hey, look! Each major character gets a highlight this time around! Yey. And we have another multi-point moment. Double yey. One, Princess Diana just knew Xena was going to be a dumb-butt yet again and send the guy “holding” the baby flying, and thus, the baby flying. Two, three, four, and five, her daughter uses her final close-up to prove that she is the angriest little lady in existence (adorable and amusing; and, really, who could blame her? 🤣), poor Philemon nearly wets his pants, the baby enjoys her flight, and Diana finally catches something! Yaaaaay! You go, princess! 😝 We’ll take that last part as character/skill development rather than a plot hole, since your inability to catch anything is what tipped Philemon off to Xena playing your decoy last season. Also, bye, sweet little family. 🥲 ❤

.

Guess what! I think I may have finally defeated the bug! YAAAY! Also-also, my last post was my 250th! Yey. …Oh yeah!

Interesting. Another week where I liked all the X-books that came out. Must’ve been cuz there was no Duggan in the mix.

New Mutants was one of the better issues since Ayala took over. I haven’t loved all of their issues, though enjoyed them for the most part, but this one I could really see everything start to come together that they’ve been seeding from their start. I wanna reread once next issue comes out and see whether it works better overall to read the full arc in one sitting. Also it might be that the Otherworld stuff was a forced detour they had to make and that threw off the pacing. We’ll see. 

But the kids with Gabby was such a sweet moment, and its so nice to see them all on the same side when it comes to Farouk......but Farouk’s motivations and the little interlude about the boy call back to Ayala’s first issue and it looks like the suspicions laid back then were true. Its almost certain that the Shadow King is actually an amalgamation or even just a full on puppet of an Amenthi demon who merged with or possessed Amahl Farouk as a child and using him as a host, has been all about trying to make this world match the one it came from, based on the same ideals Annihilation espoused. 

Basically, Amahl is not the same as the Shadow, the Shadow is trying to turn Krakoa into a new version of Arakko, and if I’m interpreting one panel of the art right, I think Xi’an (who seemed to have her suspicions back at the start of this arc too) just sensed another presence for the first time - and she’s the one who knows the Shadow King’s psyche best after all - and she’s figured out that there’s a separate Amahl Farouk consciousness hidden somewhere inside him. And given that second ‘demonstration’ interlude and the fact that the New Mutants are now nowhere to be found in the Shadow King’s mindscape, I’m guessing she managed to shunt them from the part the Shadow King controlled, into whatever part the original boy Amahl is hiding in.

Excalibur was one of its better issues. I’m far more interested in the politics of Otherworld than the political shit in X-Force, Mordred being a mutant is an actually interesting twist, and the idea that Arthur is making his son’s betrayal a self-fulfilling prophecy by attacking mutantkind because he believes Mordred will inevitably side with them as a mutant has some interesting possibilities. It was also unexpectedly....nice, to see like, the whole family Braddock fighting on the same side for probably the first time ever, lol, from Betsy to Brian to Meggan to Jamie.....Jim Jaspers remains a wildcard I’m wary of because like, lol I’ve read the original stories of him and it seems this writer has too, and I want someone to bring up that he’s keeping Redroot captive and make some kind of issue about that, especially now that Death has been brought back into the mix and Betsy’s offered to help him escape Sevalith. 

(Only to have him say no, he’s working - lol anyone else think Death’s trying to pull off a one-man coup and take over Sevalith for mutantkind and do his Daddy Dearest proud? Or given that he’s obviously still crushing on Ororo, even after - well I mean, probably BECAUSE she kicked his ass and left him for dead.....I could TOTALLY see them playing this as like, part of some weird courtship attempt of his. The only way he feels he can woo her as an equal is to come to her with a kingdom of his own or some shit like that. Idk, we’ll see. He’s definitely up to something though, but I do believe him when he says that ultimately he’s on the same side as the rest of them).

I liked that they haven’t forgotten about the other Rogue, Gambit and Rictor Captains, I liked Roma’s conversation with Jubilee about Shogo and the foreshadowing there, as well as Jubilee’s response and her clear conflict.....Merlyn can fucking die in a fire already, please and thank you, ugh, enough with this old shithead.....oh I LOVED that someone is FINALLY doing something with Bei, and it does make sense for it to be Excalibur though I figured it would’ve happened in New Mutants by now. But she and Shatterstar make a fun odd duo, and actually Star’s comment to Brian about being a new friend too like, lol, okay, I’m kinda here for a trio of Brian, Star and Bei to be like a Krakoan Warrior Three who are all united by their perspective as like, lifelong combatants and being outsiders among the rest of Krakoa even if Shatterstar and Bei are technically still mutants too. It makes sense.

Hmm, what else. Would love to see Bei’s thoughts on Death and Redroot, all things considered, and have something to do with those plotlines in the future. And really in general I’m here for this big all-kingdom smackdown with Sevalith, Hothive, Mercador, the Furies and Merlyn’s kingdom all arrayed against Krakoa and Avalon. Of course, these are still only the Foul Kingdoms. Roma and the rest of the Fair Kingdoms so far don’t seem to have any real problem with witchbreed....but this arc is still only getting started. Still waiting for Mordred’s inevitable entrance....curious to see what his power is, and especially if HE even knew he was a mutant before now.

Also: JULIO AND SHATTERSTAR CUDDLES. WE HAVE WAITED 84 YEARS FOR THIS.

And as for Hellions....

Okay, I didn’t actually love Hellions, its kinda on...layaway. I liked a lot of the fallout of last issue, I liked that the stakes are so apparent here, but I’m gonna be bothered by a lot of stuff unless there’s some kind of plot twist that reveals that Kwannon’s daughter is still alive somehow. Like maybe Sinister lied about not having another back-up JUST to ensure he still had one last card to bargain with up his sleeve since he lost the ‘in’ he had with the Hellions now, and with the Council now aware of his secret experiments with Arraki DNA (and bringing Tarn down on their heads in a way that COULD have started a full on war with them if Ororo hadn’t handled it for them)....like point is, all eyes are going to be on him for awhile now and he has very few cards left to play or people in his corner, so I’m HOPING that there’s another plot twist coming in the last couple issues there. 

Because if Kwannon’s daughter is ACTUALLY dead....it really doesn’t sit well with me that the first real mutant death in an age of literal immortality for the rest of them (since even Gorgon and Rockslide technically are still alive in SOME sense)....like for that to be Kwannon’s daughter, the only real innocent in all of this, and having been held hostage to this storyline the whole time, and only existing to force Kwannon’s hand in all of this....yeah. No. Thank you, do not like, that better not be all there is to this. I never trust anything Sinister says as a general rule, so I’m not gonna believe him about that having been the only back-up of her daughter until its wholly proven otherwise.

Other thoughts.....I like that Emma knows that she fucked up, I like that Emma DID have her own kinda failsafe in place because she didn’t trust Sinister for shit, I like that she was RIGHT not to trust Sinister for shit and that her fail-safe stopped even worse shit from happening....I DON’T like that her fail-safe literally just made Alex a weapon of mass destruction with no awareness he even was one and someone else’s hand (let alone fucking MANUEL’S on the trigger)....I DON’T like Emma looking all pained at how devastated Alex is when that was the inevitably outcome of this particular failsafe, like sorry Emma but if what it did to Alex was really that big a problem for you, you should have found a different failsafe.....and I REALLY REALLY don’t like Emma effectively just offering up Maddy’s resurrection as essentially a bribe to ‘fix’ what had happened to HIM, like....if you guys could have made the case for Maddy’s resurrection before now, it should have been for Maddy’s sake, not as like....a cheer-up tactic for fucking Alex, and DEFINITELY not to ‘fix’ a mess that still resulted in Kwannon’s daughter’s death (unless of course there’s a twist there).

Oh and I also meant to say there BETTER be fallout once Scott discovers Emma and Manuel’s role in all of this. I could definitely see Scott like, interceding on John’s behalf if he manages to pull of killing Empath, because like....he’d kinda want to do it himself. This is one of those times where I REALLY wish they’d spend more time developing where Gabe fits in with the Summers brothers now, relationship wise, because like, just show him giving any kind of shits for Alex as his older brother like, at all, and you can EASILY justify Gabe going full wrath-of-omega-mutant on Empath, and what’s the Council gonna do to one of their prized omega mutants, especially one who’s already been imprisoned on Krakoa for Xavier’s mistakes in decades past? 

Actually damn, now THERE’S a consequence-arc I’d love to see, because imagine Gabe helping John go after Empath, and then the Council really trying to throw HIM in the Hole for that, and then Scott being like uh no, remember the events of Deadly Genesis? The fuck I’m gonna stand by and allow that, Xavier you still owe him for that shit, especially since this resurrected version of him never did all the shit Emperor Vulcan did, at least as far as he knows. Or THEN ALSO I could see him getting Storm to back him up on this and she gets the Arraki to be like, well we owe this mutant a debt of gratitude for his role in making our new home, and actually his actions sound totally acceptable, we’re honestly not sure what the problem is, actually he sounds more like us than you so we’re happy to offer him sanctuary, and then the Council would shit their pants because they don’t want to lose an omega mutant to their war-like cousins since you KNOW more than a few of them are making contingencies in case they ever have to fight them again, and like, it’d split the loyalties of the entire Summers Clan in doubt and just...tons of story possibilities there. Lots to consider.

Eh, that’s not where they’re going with this at all though, so whatever. I’ll actually be really surprised if they do end up writing John as managing to successfully kill Empath.

Last thoughts.....this was weirdly the first time they EVER made me give a crap about Nanny? They managed to make me more interested in her in one issue than they have in her previous thirty-five years of existence, gave her more DEVELOPMENT in one issue than in all of that time, and when she was willing to sacrifice her just to save the orphanage from being destroyed I was like, holy shit. I....like...her?

And then they fucking ruined it all the very next page with how they had her react to Peter, and their ominous as fuck final epitaph. I’ll wait on deciding my full thoughts and feelings about that, and see just WHAT Peter ends up doing as a result....I have a feeling things are not going to end well for him and we might be close to seeing the last of him, especially with the inferences they’ve made about how destructive Peter’s true power is - whatever the hell it actually is. Like, Peter, at least, I can see the Council being more than willing to leave in the Hole, or just....put at the back of the resurrection queue for the rest of eternity. Which is shitty but would be perfectly in keeping with them and also I don’t actually know what he’s going to do yet.....like, is it going to be some bullshit like HE tries to destroy the Nursery or some shit because Nanny wanted to save it, or more likely is it gonna be something like he goes to the Right and betrays Krakoa or whatever and gives them valuable intel or something like that? Idk. 

Finally - YES MADDY’S COMING BACK. And she’s gonna be pisssssssed. Like, I don’t see how they’re planning to approach that, like....I’m expecting Xavier to try some serious editing on her back-up to maneuver WHICH point in time Maddy will come back remembering up to, because uh....that’s gonna matter a lot. But since this is all happening against his objections in the first place, and this seems more like Emma’s personal crusade to try and make up for her part in all this, I wouldn’t be surprised if Maddy comes back with full memories up to her most recent back-up.....which means she’s going to still be full on hating all of them, being like FUCK Krakoa AND your amnesty for all mutants I just want you all to burn, and oh yeah, on TOP of all that its inevitable she’s going to find out how much some of them FOUGHT to keep her from being resurrected, like....? Oh there is like only a 1 or 2% chance this ends any way other than TERRIBLY for everyone concerned.

(And yet I still hope they pull it off, because I don’t want her back just for one or two more issues, I want her back longterm. Ideally, I’d love her to take Jean’s place on the Council and pull it off with the support of like Mystique and Emma and Destiny and others as a giant fuck you to Xavier, but I’d also settle for her ditching Krakoa for Arakko and being like these are more my kinda people and also you can’t do shit to me here).

Oh and PS - lolololololol forever at Hank fucking McCoy trying to give Emma shit for her actions here. Like I mean, at least he’s AWARE he has literally no leg to stand on, whatsoever? I mean, I guess there’s that? But still. LMFAO OMG SHUT UP HANK YOU LITERALLY DON’T GET TO SAY SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BEING SHADY EVER.

Edit: Oh and also I forgot - I need to know how MUCH the Council found out about Sinister’s experiments, in particular if they found out he was ALREADY experimenting with making chimera mutants, like way ahead of schedule according to Moira’s LAST life in Powers of X, when like, the chimera mutants were a recent development as of a full hundred years in the future from now. Like, that changes a LOT and I would love to know what Xavier, Moira and Magneto think of that accelerated timetable and how it might change things.

The 14th Sentinel

A 13 sentinels AU

Spoilers Ahead so this will be under the cut!

Tamao Kurabe being the pilot of the 14th Sentinel in the final battle. (not to confuse with sentinel no. 14 which is Ryokos)

Why? Because I think she deserves more plot.

She survives what happened to her in Sector 5 and when Miura and Natsuno return there, they find her injured but alive.

Well enough that they are able to take her back to sector 4.

She gets to live with Natsuno here. Which in turn means, she is the first to know of her disappearance when Natsuno is stranded in sector 3.

Getting ahead of myself though.

When she returns, and lives with Natsuno, there's clearly a culture shock.

"Please tell me I don't have to dress like you do, Minami-san"

"No- no! This is just my track outfit, we can find you a longer skirt if you're more comfortable with it."

"That would be...acceptable."

Her POV would be different than Miura's, she already knows that she is in the future from the get go. So she spends most of her time exploring. Kinda like a reverse of Tomi's culture shock.

However her being in sector 4 would change things slightly.

Mostly Yuki's story.

Yuki who spends her entire plot with Erica Aiba, aka JuroBot, would find out that Aiba isn't Aiba not through Nenji but through Tamao Kurabe.

And JuroBot, when he learns that Tamao is in this time, probably would take some measures to remove Tamao from interfering.

You know, it just occurred to me, what was JuroBot trying to do, following Yuki all the time? Like I know he was trying to alter her nanomachines, but if it was anything like what Megumi did, wouldn't that just be 'one and done'? Why persist after her? Anyways I'm getting side tracked here.

You can't tell me Tamao won't be searching for Natsuno as well here. But in her perspective, we might get to see Miura more doing the same. There was a throwaway line in Yuki's story about a middle schooler looking for Natsuno too. except that's actually Miura. We never get to see him do the actual searching or his worry for her. Which might be more clear in Tamao's story since they would probably be looking together.

And I can imagine, Yuki running into Tamao when JuroBot isn't around.

"Aiba! I thought I told you not to follow me!" "Aiba? Are... you talking about me?" "Of course I am, who else would I be talking to?" Yuki would clearly annoyed here.

"I think you're mistaking me for someone else."I'm not Aiba...I'm Tamao Kurabe.

"Stop screwing with me, you were just following me like a puppy just minutes ago!"

"I really don't know what you mean, I don't know who you are."

Yuki here would probably realize that this is a different person all together, this Aiba-looking-girl's demeanor is completely different too.

I can imagine Tamao being kinda intimidated by Yuki here and excuses herself.

Tamao later runs into JuroBot and of course kinda freaks out seeing her doppelganger.

"I didn't expect you'd be here. This may be a problem."

"Wh-who are you?"

"None of your concern. I can't have you interfering with my plan for now, sorry but I need to put you to sleep for a bit." I wonder who should find Tamao here, she'd be unconscious in the old school building, probably tucked in a cupboard/ storage area there.

My three guesses are Ei, Miura, or Yuki.

If it's Ei, I assume either Miura or Yuki come around shortly. Ei knows who Tamao Kurabe is so I do think he'd be willing to try and help her out a bit. Miura or Yuki, when they come around, probably think it was Ei who attacked her, well maybe not Yuki since if this is after they recover BJ, they'd be working together now.

If its Miura who finds her, it would be during his search for Natsuno, I assume he'd also notice Tamao going missing too, since as stated before, they would be working together.

Ah also, during the encounter with JuroBot, he'd have altered her nanomachines in preparation for the game~

I wonder if she'll be able to operate sentinel 18. After all, the other formerly Ai operated sentinels, 16, 17, 19, respectively, all gained human pilots: Tomi, Natsuno, Miura.

So 18 should be the same.

As for her activation switch, I want to say its the palm of her right hand, swiped up from the wrist to her fingers.

It would be a 3rd Gen Sentinel too in this situation.

Some other minor little details to include here:

-She's incredibly affectionate towards BJ, treating him kinda like a cat in a sense.

"Oh you're so cute little one!"

"Oh you can talk? Well hello there!"

-She is absolutely in awe and simultaneously intimidated by the advancement in cooking equipment.

-Washing machines intimidate her.

-Yes she will jump when things beep.

-Someone, namely Natsuno, has to restrain her from attacking Gouto when she next runs into him. She's angy at him for what he did.

-She ends up really liking the skirt she gets! (she wears pants underneath it though just cuz it makes her feel more comfortable)

-When first becoming Natsuno's roommate, she takes all her clothes and starts mending all the holes she finds.

"You-you don't have to do that."

"Nonsense, you can't wear ripped clothes Minami-san."

-When she finds out she's a grandmother, she's ultimately...shocked and confused.

"What do you mean that boy is my grandson?"

-Because no one knows what happened to TamaoAI until after exterminator event and namely after Yuki goes to the Sentinel Hangar, I assume Tamao can walk around the school normally without anyone questioning her being there.

She does try to avoid the teachers since she knows shes not officially a student there.

-She has run into Megumi at school though and jumps when she's acknowledged to be "Tamao-san" by her once in passing.

-She runs into Takatoshi in the old school building once, this is after he meets Miura so he knows what happened to Sector 5.

"Takatoshi-san is that really you? You look just like you did back in middle school! Rowdy and unkempt!"

"Tamao-san please stop teasing me."

"And why would I do that?"

[incarnateirony]

In the “Highlighting Fandom Absurdity” series, as people still are in meltdown mode over common sense issues in 15.10, while lockpicking was briefly mentioned -- despite my own roadster experience, I can’t quite expect everybody to have picked a great deal of locks in their lives. What they can vouch to, however, is cooking.

The amount of things that make perfect sense with even the vaguest modicum of adult-ish life-ish experience-ish, that this fandom acts baffled over, and makes giant fits about, is somewhat highlighted by this collage. Go ahead, blow it up, scroll around. If you complained about the cooking stuff, please, by all means, feel embarrassed. (For those limited by mobile, I’ll even give an easy access link that’s enlargeable [x])

I’m still waiting for anyone, anywhere, to get back to me picking a padlock or set of handcuffs with nails of either size (medium-large for 5.04 [view for reference], giant galvinized spike for 15.10). Because of “skill” difference, you have no time limit, but are forbidden from complaining or making noises of confusion about it until you successfully achieve it. You are free to google as many lockpicking tips as you want. I’ll hear from you NEVER.

(I shouldn’t have to say this, but executive functions of this fandom on recent display minded, PLEASE do not handcuff yourself with actual locked cuffs and only a bigassed nail to pick it [or even with the nearby keys], without a friend or family member on standby to unlock you when you inevitably fucking can’t even after a day of stubbornness or whatever the fuck.)

(Psssst here’s what happens with lockpicking if you use your brain-case instead of your stan-space.)

Because that’s the goddamn point, people.

But sure. People can’t even “figure out” daily fucking life functions or toddler-toy-level square peg in a round hole shit that any breathing person over the age of 10 has experienced or witnessed, because HOW DARE their characters not be perfect, but you’re going to argue with them about nuanced storytelling and use their false hysteria and manufactured TV ignorance in-name-of-standom as your bar of what the fuck the literal text is literally saying about any given fucking thing. Gay shit. General shit. Common sense fucking shit.

And that’s. The god. Damn. Tea.

But lemme tell you something-- lemme tell you something--

If you subscribe to some fandom “Thinker”, or Meta Person, or whatever the fuck that couldn’t apply any of this basic, nascent human reasoning to the text at hand, I would instead highly suggest you begin thinking for yourselves. Cuz some shit, some where, is very obviously broken.

Stop being swept in by people with bullshit agendas.

Everyone has something to sell you, even me. In my case, I peddle common fucking sense, production and corporate knowledge and study, Fandom history for perspective, LGBT cinema history, a side dose of esoteric occult shit (and it’s partner, my semi-famous Plot Magic 8Ball), openly available learning compendiums about any of these for you to actually read and learn it for yourselves instead of having shit redefined for you by sparklecestfw dot tumblr dot com, and the potential liberty to enjoy the show like you used to when you were in the GA before you entered this shithole and got gaslit and grandstanded over about what the GA thinks until beaten into submission. Take it or leave it. 

But if you’re gonna leave it, you can leave my blog, because that’s all you’re going to find here. And, well, overt mockery of people who reject the “common sense” part, because this fandom has gone far too long with letting lunacy veil itself as dialogue deserving platform or consideration. That’s why we’re here: with people “confused” by common life events or that Big Thing Can Not Enter Much Less Delicately Manipulate Tiny Hole Without TV Magic Literally Textually Explained As God. It’s up to you if internet tribalism, or common sense readings of the overt and blatant text at hand to enjoy the show are what you are here for. If you’re here for petty internet tribalism, let’s stop pretending you’re here for actual fanning or fandom, and I really, really don’t need you here.

I’m not gonna mollycoddle anybody. I’m not going to take the world’s dumbest take and pat the person on the head and go “I understand your point of view and your opinion is valid” when literal children could understand most of this shit better than people pretend to not for the sake of making noise and finding the newest shit to be upset about or stir the pot about. Yes, this bullshit dialogue SHOULD disappear. Yes, they SHOULD be embarrassed for even acting like this big of a fucking clown in public, and I don’t mean the shipping kind, I mean legit fucking dumb bullshit clownery that people pretend is rational or relevant to what we’re looking at.

If people’s bitterness, or Secret Mystical Knowledge Key is all they have to sell you, because they want platform and relevance -- think about that. Real fuckin’ hard. At least my blog is willing to go against the grain and say I don’t give a FUCK who unfollows me because they don’t like common sense instead of patting someone on a head and going “gee you know I understand why you are confused that a 120mmd object can’t fit in a 5mmd hole! *gives a gold star and encourages to wank into the wind*”. I shouldn’t even have to enter these things into discussion, and yet here we are. So ask yourself why they do what they do, and say what they do, when far less convoluted options are right fucking there.

(Hint: If these people stopped feeding bitterness, and stopped convincing you that you need the secret gay meta key, or even in case of overt antis stopped pretending to be blind deaf and explosively stupid about certain shit, what would these people have left)
