#he had to intergrate him into his plan

I'm a little shocked that people think that Korn is a better dad than Gun/Kan just because he doesn't physically beat his kids.
like, Korn very clearly sees his children as a means to more power so he attempts to control them through fear and manipulation.
not to mention he intentionally risked his son's lives when enacted his plan to take over the minor family by faking his death. He knew he would risk all of their lives but especially Kinn's.
like yeah, Gun/Kan fucking SUCKS we hate that guy. And I'm sure he used the same kind of fear and manipulation tactics to control his children just like Korn did (but with the added threat of physical violence). But just because Korn may not have hit his sons, that doesn't mean he was, by any means, a good father who tried his best to raise his sons.

꧁𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑩𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕꧂
This is a new MD AU that I am working on that mainly focuses on my character Elenore
𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔
꧁☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★꧂
𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑁
Tumblr media
Referred to as “Papa N” by Elenore, he is the goofy fun loving dad but he is still protective of his adoptive daughter despite his bubbly exterior. He runs into Serial Designation B by chance and he was integrated by her so she could get intel on Elenore’s location to which he acted obvious and avoided giving her honest answers
𝑈𝑧𝑖 𝐷𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛
Tumblr media
Referred to as “Mama Uzi” or “Mama Zi” by Elenore, she is the overbearing mother who is very overprotective of her adoptive daughter and will stop at nothing to keep Elenore safe, even if it means she has to fight the ABC trio just to keep her daughter out of harm’s way
𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑉
Tumblr media
Referred to as “Mama V” by Elenore, she is the one providing for everyone in the family, often overworking herself much to N and Uzi’s concern. V of course disregards her lovers’ request to take a break cuz she knows that providing for them and their adoptive daughter is important. Another thing V values is Elenore’s safety, making sure that the ABC trio stays as far away from her precious daughter as possible
𝐸𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑒
Tumblr media
A young worker drone who crashed landed on Copper 9 as a baby and was taken in by N, V, and Uzi. Elenore doesn’t remember much of her biological mother but she is aware that the ABC trio wants her dead, for what reason she can’t seem to recall. She loves all three of her adoptive parents equally and appreciates everything that they do for her
𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐴
Tumblr media
The leader of the ABC trio and one of the first disassembly drone prototypes, A was the main one who killed and targeted Elenore’s biological mother Elora via James Elliott’s request when Elora tried escaping the manor with baby Elenore. When A realized that Elenore was still alive on Copper 9, she made it her mission to lead her team to Copper 9 to find Elenore and finish the job that they have been programmed to do
𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐵
Tumblr media
The airheaded one of the ABC trio and one of the first disassembly drone prototypes, B is very gullible and follows any orders given to her by her leader A. She was very curious of her new snowy surroundings when she first landed on Copper 9 with the rest of her team and had a look around. She ran into N by chance and intergrated him for information on Elenore’s location via A’s request with little prevail
𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐶
(Green will have to work for her since there is no yellow)
Tumblr media
Sassy, confident, and strategic, C is the backbone of the ABC trio and takes her job very seriously. She is a well trained assassin who knows how to put A’s plans into action majority of the time. C is also a great seamstress and a master of disguise. She is the brains of the operation and she knows it. C knows that if she and the rest of her team are going to get the job done, they are going to get it done right
𝑷𝒍𝒐𝒕
꧁♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎꧂
Plot info can be found on my main blog and I will reblog it here in case people have forgotten
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍!
꧁☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎☼☀︎︎꧂
Have fun and leave questions in the ask box! I will draw responses whenever I am able to!

Tumblr media
[sometime in the future]
-
“You do realize I am a biotically enhanced super soldier, right?” Mason said skeptically, eying the woman in front of him. She stood watching him, one hand on her cocked hip, dark wavy hair tied back at her nape and a smirk on her lips that made him feel horribly old beyond his years.
He remembered what it was like to be this self-assured. Fearless. In his prime, he’d been one of Cerberus’s best phoenix, had been made squad leader and had more kills under his belt than he cared to think about now. He had honed his biotic abilities to rival an asari huntress, capable of commanding mass effect fields down to the smallest degrees and he was treated with the most bespoke implants and the best money could buy.
He wasn’t like that now.
“I hear that’s the rumour around town. But I’m no slouch when it comes to biotics myself.”
“No,” Mason hummed, eying her some more. “You wouldn’t have been. How did Cerberus never find you?”
The smirk slipped from her face at that and she straightened, her gaze somber. “There is no Cerberus in my world. There was no first contact war.”
Mason spent a moment trying to imagine it and came up empty. “Must be nice,” he mused, wry. “Your world sounds charmed.”
“It is,” Maisy said simply. “And we plan to keep it that way. That’s the only reason we’re here.”
“He knows, doesn’t he? That if we fall, you will too.”
“You know Isaac,” Maisy lifted her chin, no small amount of pride in her voice. “He’s not an idiot.”
He couldn’t help the chuckle at that. “No, he’s not.”
--
Maisy Cerrillo was a better fighter than Mason expected her to be and-
She fought dirty.
Mason panted as he dodged another swing, easily moving out of her way but still oddly surprised at her unrelenting pace. They had agreed on no biotics, no weapons, just hands and fists and feet. The rules were loose beyond that, something Mason realized too late he should have been clearer on when she lifted one booted foot and kicked at a workout bench to send it careering towards him.
It hit his ankles, unbalancing him enough that he lost concentration and the next thing he knew he was struggling for breath because she had just punched him in the throat.
“Don’t look at me like that,” she glared at him, fists high and dark brows knitted in concentration. “Like I’m not going to use every advantage available to me. I don’t have a intergrated bone weave or mesomuscle enhancer over here.”
Mason pulled himself up, tossing his head and shaking out the effects of her punch. In the corner, he was aware of an audience gathering – although he could have done without Ajax’s scoff and less than helpful remarks.
“No,” he watched her, circling slowly. “That’s smart. You should take every advantage.”
Maisy grinned, the edge of it slightly feral. “Thanks, but I wasn’t looking for your permission.”
She moved again, fast and fluid in a way he has never been able to be, her lithely powerful body far more flexible than his own heavier frame. She spun and Mason braced himself for another upper body kick – only for Maisy to drop and skid right through his spread legs, leaving behind searing pain where she jagged him in the groin on the way through.
He swore, frustration and exhilaration warring inside him. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d fought without using his enhancements – the Berlin’s crew were too fragile and he knew even warming the Captain’s bed, Isaac just might space him if he accidentally broke any of his crew.
Speaking of Isaac-
Maisy clashed against him again and he grabbed her wrists, grunting slightly at the force she exerted. He was curious about her Isaac, the young admiral who seemed so far removed and both a carbon copy of the man he loved all once.
They grappled and Mason caught her eye. “What is it like? Being married to him?”
The question surprised her enough that she hesitated and Mason used the lapse in her concentration to shove her across the mat. She landed hard but was back on her feet, snarling hard and prowling like a panther ready to pounce within heartbeats.
Then her stance changed. The smirk was back. “It’s fantastic,” she said sweetly with a toss of her head. “He knows exactly how to touch me, brings me breakfast in bed every morning, gave me his babies, holds me in his arms at night. All. Night.”
Something burned in Mason’s chest. Jealousy. It was bitter in his mouth. And yet it didn’t stop him asking for more. “How did you meet?”
Maisy frowned at him over her raised, clench fists, assessing. He knew she was trying to work out his play, scrolling through the options in her mind. In truth, Mason was sort of wondering too. He didn’t know why he was asking these questions. He didn’t know why it burned him so much that Isaac had been in front of him for so long and he hadn’t even realized it.
Even as the thought came, he knew what would come next.
The captain and the admiral had one thing in common. One glaring, painful fact Mason told himself he shouldn’t let hurt like it should. They didn’t trust phoenix.
Mason put his frustration into a punch that landed hard. Maisy grunted and there was a collective gasp around the room as she made contact with the mat. He had forgotten about the audience, wondered how many of the Berlin crew were there, how many of the other. He supposed they made quite the spectacle. Two tall, dark haired, green eyed figures trying to wail the shit out of each other just for the hell of it.
He stood over her, chest heaving, prepared to hear her yield when she pushed herself up and flipped to kick his legs out from under him.
He was inching his way back to his feet when he heard Berlin’s engineer Luca yell “Go Mom!” and Maisy was so startled he was able to regain the advantage.
“Okay,” she panted, looking up, wild eyed but staring not at him but at a chagrined looking Luca at the edge of the mat. “I wasn’t expecting that.”
“Why not?” Mason asked, releasing her so she could sit up. He looked over and it seemed like Luc was giving the younger version of himself an earful.
Maisy pulled her knees to her chest. “Because up until now, he’s completely ignored me.”
“Who? Luca?”
“It’s so confusing they have the same names.”
“I know,” Mason chuckled. He got to feet and without thinking he offered Maisy his hand to help her up only for her to roll her eyes and slap it away. “At least Luc has the grace to shorten his. I’m surprised he’s ignored you though. He’s always seemed a bit… needy. I thought he would jump at it.”
“I got that too,” Maisy said, her voice low so it wouldn’t carry. Luca was filing out of the training deck with the rest of the crew, the show now over. He glanced back only once, dark gaze skittish under his curls before disappearing around the corner. “But when I went to talk to him, he told me-“ Maisy raised her fingers in air quotes, “’I don’t need a Mom, I already have a daddy’”
Her face was a mask of distaste that made Mason laugh. “Yeah. You’ll get used to that.”
“I’m not sure I will.”
“Look, it’s normal I guess. You look at him and see your Luca all grown up. But that’s not him. Your Luca is safe back on Terra Nova. This Luca… well…”
Mason trailed off then shrugged.
“I know,” Maisy sighs as she wipes her face with a towel. “Still weird.”
“Tell me about it.”
Maisy caught his eye again and snorted. “You’re a bit like the big brother I always wanted.”
Mason was mildly amused by that but then he thought of Kate. “What’s Kate like? In your world?”
“Happy,” Maisy answered without hesitation. “Married. Three kids. Her husband adores her. She’s… she’s alive.” Maisy frowned, realizing what she said. “Not that… your Kate… isn’t but… What happened to her?”
“You’d have to ask her about that. It’s not really my story to tell. We’re not… We didn’t grow up together in this world. We aren’t that close.”
“Oh,” Maisy said softly. She held a cold water bottle in her hand, rubbing the condensation on the side absently with a practical lengthed, neatly manicured thumbnail, lost in thought.
Mason took a moment to put the room back to rights before gathering his own gear, aware that Maisy’s eyes were following him.
“Something else?”
“The captain...” she started hesitantly. “He needs you.”
Mason smiled tiredly. “Not as much as I need him.”

SvtFoE Rhombulus Rewrite (Pt. 5)
Me: *Falls from the ceiling and onto to floor*
Me: “Hey my amazing Chimeras, it’s been a hot minute, huh? About...” *Checks calender before ripping it up* “......at least a day.”
Sorry I’ve been gone for so long. I wrote the first few parts a while back during a week or so long hyperfixation spree before hopping to something else. But I’m mostly back now! Still might take a bit to get some of the other parts out, since planning the episodes out has been a bit of a challenge, and that will also be the case for the other parts. But I’m gonna try my best because I legitimately like this AU I’ve created and feel that the people who enjoy it deserve an ending. I can’t just create a character arc and not go through with it, after all! *Side-eyes the OG show*
So, this is Part 2 of Season 4 for my Rhombulus Rewrite! Thank you so much to everyone who has liked, reblogged, and followed along with all my past posts describing this AU thus far. If you do enjoy this AU, then please remember to like all of those posts! Now, I need to explain something important before getting on with the rest of this thing: I have two potential endings for Season 4 in my Rhombulus rewrite. That’s why I will be making a Part 6, which will have one of the alternate endings (this ending I have dubbed “Closest to Canon”), and then a Part 7, which will have the other, slightly more fun and good ending (this ending has been dubbed “Canon is My B*tch Now”). This post will be a continuation of the previous one, but the endings will split off at “Mama Star”. Hope you enjoy this part!
Season 4 (Part 2):
- So I forgot to add something important to my last part of the rewrite. Well, okay, the particular episode isn’t all that important, but the part I’m adding might be a bit important. So, as I said in my last post, in “Between a Rock and a Hard Place” (an episode that I made), it is revealed the the MHC basically want Rhombulus to spy on Eclipsa, so I decided to add some stuff to actually show that a bit, starting with “The Ponyhead Show!”
- Rhombulus might offer to host a small segment on the show as an excuse to follow Eclipsa around. In the background during certain scenes, we might be able to see Rhombulus hiding behind things or sneakily taking notes during Eclipsa scenes. He’ll also seem a bit nervous around he, probably due to feeling guilty about spying on her.
- Back to the actually ones that I should be talking about.
- I was not planning to add Rhombulus into “Cornball!”, but oh my god, I’m so glad I did. This isn’t even really gonna be a Rhombulus episode, but it’s gonna have some stuff for him in it. First off, he decides to check out the cornball match because 1) Star asked if he wanted to come and he had nothing else to do, 2) he really likes cornball, and 3) he was curious to see how this Monster-Mewman intergrated teams cornball match would go. He realizes he doesn’t really have a strong understanding of Monster-Mewman relations and wants to learn more about the whole mess, especially since he and the MHC are so highly involved in it.
- Rhombulus tries to find a seat, but some monsters recognize him and choose to avoid him. He then tries to sit near some Mewmans, but is not fully recognized and is seen as a monster. This is the first time Rhombulus has ever fully experienced what it’s like to be a monster in Mewni, and it shakes him a bit at how cold and even cruel Mewmans can be. This whole sequence is done without Rhombulus ever saying a word.
- He decides to just sit somewhere by himself behind the statium, when a small monster girl appears next to him and compliments his snake tails, saying they look cool. Rhombulus awkwardly thanks her, and compliments her tail as well.
- He then asks where the kid’s parents are (as this child is extremely small and should not be alone). The child casually responds that her mama is dead. This is a very awkward thing to hear, so Rhombulus carefully asks where her dad is. The child says “he got crystalized. I haven’t seen him in years, and I’m pretty sure I’m never gonna see him again. I miss him a lot.”
- Rhombulus softly asks why her dad got crystalized. She says that she doesn’t know. She and her auntie tried to find out, but they were denied. But whatever it was, she knows her papa is innocent, and someday, she’ll save him.
- This is important. Very, very important.
- One important thing about Rhombulus is that since he represents childhood, he is really great at getting along with little kids. So he asks if she wants to do something else besides sit around.
- The little girl jumps up at this, and she takes him over to meet her friends, who are joining in on the match. She asks if he wants to play too. Rhombulus says he’d rather just watch, but that he’ll cheer her on. She nods and runs off to join the game.
- As he watches the kids play, Star might ask Rhombulus what he thinks of all this. He pauses a moment before saying “kids are wiser than adults, aren’t they?” Star agrees.
- Before he leaves, Rhombulus asks the little girl what her name is, and she says that her name is Alita. He asks her what her dad looks like, and she tells him. Rhombulus then tells Alita that he knows the guy who crystalizes people, and maybe he can talk to him and see if they can let her dad go. Alita asks him to promise he’ll get her papa home as soon as possible if he gets freed. He pinky swears, and they part ways. This will come up again later.
- So I included Reynaldo in my all new original episode; “Between a Rock and a Hard Place”. And because he’s in “Meteora’s Lesson”, I might as well talk a bit about that. There is a chance Reynaldo will mention that Rhombulus visited, which Glossaryck will only barely react to, saying that he’s not surprised. Reynaldo also mentions that it’d be nice if Glossaryck came to visit him every once in a while, but Glossaryck basically waves it off. :(
- Rhombulus and Star will not get into a fight during “Junkin Janna”, and Rhombulus will actually appear to feel bad for wasting Star and Eclipsa’s time, and won’t be accusatory towards Eclipsa. So that’s that episode.
- I also decided to add a change that is both major and minor, because as you will see this season, I am changing more than just Rhombulus. Sure, I’m not gonna change everything that I don’t like about Season 4 or feel like they should have changed, but I decided to use this opprotunity to make a few things just a little bit better in my eye.
- This is that change: Kelly and Marco will not break up. Now, I will explain this decision more in my rewriting of the climax/finale, but I just want to stop the shipping drama and change things up a bit, as well as make most fans a bit happier in the process. Kelly was done dirty and deserves better. Starco ended up being a mess and it ended up ruining the impact of the finale for me. So I decided, why not just keep Kelco together?
- The next episode Rhombulus appears in is the extremely important “Cornonation” of course! Now, for this episode, a lot of things will stay the same and a lot of things will be different, particularly the ending.
- While the first half of the episode will remain mostly the same, little details all throughout it will be different.
- First off, Rhombulus won’t get very accusatory of Eclipsa. In fact, he might at some point take the rest of the MHC aside to try and convince them that Eclipsa is innocent. Hekapoo says that there is no way she isn’t the one who did it. Rhombulus swears that he’s been keeping an eye on her the whole day, and at no point did he see Eclipsa try to free Globgor.
- Hekapoo insists that there are no other person it could possibly be, so they will still need to keep an eye on her, which Rhombulus is very reluctant about.
- While guarding her, Rhombulus (while stroking his tails and looking away no less🤔) tells Eclipsa that, for the record, he thinks she’s innocent. She looks at him a bit funny, but thanks him. He also lets Star talk to Eclipsa alone with no questions asked.
- When Star comes back with Globgor, Rhombulus looks kinda nervous and afraid. Rather than Rhombulus proudly declaring that he will crystalize Globgor, Omni will prompt Rhombulus to perform the crystalization process, which he will be slightly reluctant about.
- While Eclipsa and Globgor see each other again and have that cute moment, Hekapoo will say “all right, enough stalling. Rhombulus, crystalize her.” Rhombulus will panic for a second, before starting to crystalize her, causing Globgor to break out, and the whole fight thing will ensue, with all that stuff being mostly the same.
- When Globgor says that the MHC can crystalize him, as long as they let his family go, Rhombulus will hesitate at this, clearly conflicted, before slowly aiming at Globgor. That’s when River inturrupts and makes the whole small speech about being a dad.
- Omni and Hekapoo protest this, saying that Eclipsa needs to be imprisoned for her crimes. But, in a surprising turn of events, Rhombulus speaks up against this, saying that the MHC (including himself) are pretty bad judges, and probably shouldn’t have a say in this. Plus, he’s pretty sure Eclipsa didn’t do it.
- Omni says that it is their duty to imprison the couple, but Rhombulus reminds them that actually, that’s RHOMBULUS’S job, and only he has the power to crystalize people. And he refuses to use it on them without at least giving them a fair trial or something like that.
- Everyone is slightly shooketh, and there is a pause until Eclipsa suggests letting the people decide. Then the whole scene plays out mostly the same, and it all pretty much works out. Omni and Hekapoo are a little moody about it, but accept this.
- After the cornonation, Globgor approaches Rhombulus in private room away from prying ears to ask him a small, simple question: “Why did you free me?” Rhombulus nervously chuckles, asking if he meant why he didn’t recrystalize him during the Cornonation.
- Globgor says no, and that Rhombulus knows what he really means. Rhombulus denies this at first, but he’s never really been good at lying, and Globgor pushes him into confessing that yes, he was the one to set free Globgor at the Monster Temple.
- Rhombulus admits he’s made mistakes in the past, and there’s probably a lot of people he unjustly imprisoned. He realized this recently and felt really bad about it, and because of his impulsive nature, while standing in the Monster Temple, without thinking, he decided to free Globgor. What was the worst that could happen? As soon as Globgor stormed off, Rhombulus immediately began to regret his decision, but didn’t know what to do about it. So he didn’t say anything.
- Globgor understands this, and thanks him for reuniting him with his family, even if it all ended up a little messy.
- I’m not exactly sure how to end “Cornonation”, but pretend I wrote down a good ending to the episode. Maybe some Mina foreshadowing or something. I’m such a good writer. Totally not just telling people to finish the rest themselves. Amazing. Fantastic. I’ll win all the awards.
- Instead of “Britta’s Tacos”, we should have gotten an episode centered around Tom and his trip, which will explain his decision to break up with Star. Wouldn’t come to the conclusion that he should break up with her, but would come to the conclusions that lead up to him choosing to break up with her. I’d like an episode like that. But I’m not gonna write it down, because I feel like someone else should do it. Still, pretend that in this AU, that episode exists.
- Sidenote: The B-Plot to that episode would be Marco coming back to Earth to introduce Kelly to his family, and maybe Star comes along? During that, we can catch up with the characters we left behind on Earth. The joke about Mariposa being a Starco baby will not happen, because ew wtf.
- “Gone Baby Gone” is a cute episode. But it is also expendable. Which is why I shall be replacing it with a different wholesome episode centered around Rhombulus character growth and also Alita. I’m not sorry.
- This new episode is called “Crystal Children”. The synopsis for this episode would probably be “Rhombulus follows through on a promise.” That’s basically the episode in a way. But it’s also so much more than that. It’s the near completion of his whole arc up to this point.
- We start out with Rhombulus talking rapidly in front of a bulletin board that looks more like a conspiracy theorist board. He is talking about ways they could change the justice system in Mewni. This part is a bit short, but very rambling and slightly confusing. He finally says, “so, watcha think?” and we cut to Hekapoo and Omni, who are sitting on chairs as his audience. There is a pause before Hekapoo says “no” while Omni says “absolutely not.” Rhombulus, clearly devestated, exclaims “WHAT?! But why!?!”
- Omni states that Mewni’s current system works perfectly fine, and there is no point in overcomplicating things and changing it. Hekapoo agrees, and Rhombulus is forced to pack up and go home.
- In the next scene, Rhombulus sitting in his lair and looking around at all the frozen monsters, which he feels bad about. He sighs and says “I wish I could free you guys. Then I could make up for everything.” He sits there for a few seconds before popping up and exclaiming “wait! I control the crystals! I can do whatever I want!” He runs over to a crystal and is about to unfreeze it when one of his snakes holds him back and reminds him that it’s probably a bad idea to just randomly unfreeze anyone, and he needs to think more carefully.
- They decide to instead freeze someone that they are much more sure isn’t evil. Rhombulus remembers Anita, and goes to look for her dad. He wanders around the lair for a bit before spotting him. Anita’s dad is admittedly pretty scary looking, and there is a moment where Rhombulus questions if this is really her dad. But he checks around, and it really is him. Rhombulus then has a moment of unsurety about freeing Anita’s dad, but he gathers his resolve and does it anyways.
- Anita’s dad wakes up in flight mode and immediately begins to scramble away from Rhombulus, who is also caught off guard. But Rhombulus manages to calm him down, and explains that he is taking him back to his daughter again.
- They then have a little escape adventure thing together (IDK I don’t have a full plan for this episode and really just wanted to get this post out) in which Rhombulus learns more about monsters and Anita’s dad (who will be named Crelin) learns about Rhombulus.
- It ends with Anita and Crelin being reunited, and Anita thanks Rhombulus for doing the right thing.
So that’s the end of this part! Hopefully my next part will come out soon!

Lmao, the Twitter dumbasses coming to our askboxes is so annoying, they don't know anything about Taylor's history, like how she used to be really cool with that Kushner and even brought him and his "best best friend" Mikey along on vacation to Holiday House in 2014 and how she made her own brother do a pap-walk with that guy like two days before the 2016 election cause she was planning on publicly intergrating him into her squad before everything went to shit.
These Twitter losers need to suck it up and accept that Taylor is NOT the guiding light they want and that the only problem Taylor has with that Kushner is his situation with Karlie because she sure as Hell didn't have a problem with his gross associations before he started causing Taylor problems, she wouldn't have performed at that Kushner's besties birthday party and kissed him on the cheek and made Este Haim "date" his bestie too if she had a problem with him before he started causing her problems 🙄
The history is important—there’s SO many layers. The most complex possible.

pls show and tell me more about Octavos??? (@commanderhorncleaver)
Im going to be completely honest with you i do not know wben this was sent to me so i hope it wasnt long ago 😭 tumblr mobile on my new iphone (i used to be a android user lol but my dad gave me his old phone since my own broke) is weird
Anyway!!! Octavos!!!
A massive charr at 13ft, his whole bloodline is known for being monsterous sized gaurdians even from ancient times. He is one of my three grothmar born and raised charr (the other two being Vytt, quint’s father and Kytt who is uriahs father) who was given to an ash legion fahrar outside of the main city. It wasnt easy growing up, both because of his size in a place like the ashlegion but because his fahrar wasnt exactly the best. Like rylands there was a lot of abuse just to break the cubs down to be obedient and to harden them for the world.
Regardless hes always been quite a soft but extremely smart charr under his now threatening exterior. His mission for the ash legion after his graduation would be to infiltrate blood legion and root out or track any flame legion comings and goings within their ranks. Even better if he could get juicy tidbits on blood legion too. The best part is it was honestly easy because he just had to go in the ooze pits.
What he didn’t expect was the current imperators son to choose him. Thats right bangar chose him. It was definitely a double edged sword that octavos would have to dance around. Bangar in his youth likely wouldnt be any different from any other charr due to the fact theres still wars to be had against the humans and the flame legion. So i compensate in my writing by making him a little fucking nepotism asshole who would point out his fathers position anytime he wants something. Eventually bangar would realize that this massive charr wasnt as dumb as he pretended to be and they would eventually get into a very close, very casual, relationship. Afterall bangars one and true love is almorra but lets face it bangars the type to fuck others but be a pissy abusive baby when his girlfriend fucks someone else.
Anyway fast forward about ten years after, octavos has quite the dossier and has realized cracks and holes in grothmars defences. Octavos blends perfectly into blood legion, even getting the nickname The Devourer due to his appetite and eatting habits. But things start to get hot, literally, as some important players turn to the flame legion in secret. Plans are whispered among spies and defectors of a bombings and a invasion- the enemies exploiting areas octavos would have noted as weak points. He had a choice to either keep quiet and let it happen or come up with a plan to prevent it and come clean to the imperator about what he was and he did just that.
With the alarms sounded he gave the instructions on how they could prevent it, who to jail with hard evidence to back it up, and he helped lead something that would have had grothmar fall to the burgeoning flame legion.
Regardless bangar is extremely upset about the fact someone he was so weak with and shared so much to was a spy. In my head this plus almorra dumping him for a much nicer ash legion soldier is why he hates ash legion with a passion LMAO
I had done a tiny comic thing for charrtober. Id like to one day expand it more
Tumblr media

But this leads to hims become a tribune for ash and head of defence for grothmar, appointed and suggested by the blood imperator. Bangar would soon rip his fathers throat out and become blood legion imperator and the two will instantly start butting heads. Octavos was progressive- he wanted reforms for fahrars both to make it so they were less abusive but so that the intergration of all the legions meant better teamwork. He would also advocate for the treaty and ceasefire as he put forth economic prosperity especially with trade relations and switching people to more important more dire circumstances like branded.
Octavos would eventually find himself in a odd predicament. He was the type who, when travelling the countryside, would help captured humans be able to escape especially if it looked like they werent soldiers. Usually he would buy them and free them. Sometimes he would even kill the charr if they were violent enough. Which he did upon meeting his future mate Silva. The human had known nothing but slavery under the charr (this is years 30-20 years before ceasefire) and upon seeing their violence octavos killed them, took the human with him, and told him to escape to the shiverpeaks. But silva was too scared to try and so octavos struck a deal that he could live in his house (something along the hillsides where the farmwrs are in grothmar) but would be called his slave untill he felt brave enough to go ahead and run. Silva would stay and while octavos would insist he didnt need to do anything silva would help feed octavoses pets and water his rooftop garden. (One pet is a tiny devourer he named Miss Pepper and a skritt named Biknip who was kicked out by the other skritt and just loves how big octavos is. So pet isnt the right word but everyone who sees him says hes octavoses pet) while octavos kept himself from acting inappropriate to someone he was aiming to help and save it was silva who fell for him and they would start a secret relationship in a age a human charr relationship was extremely taboo especially in grothmar. Dont be fooled by the fact he has a mate though. He has quite a few cubs who are adults by now and is still very sexually open to anyone who has the guts to ask him.
As years go by bangar appoints crecia and slowly but surely he loses his positions of power in grothmar. He and crecia are positive towards one another though, octavos sometimes giving tipsand even argued to bangar about the conditions for flame legions integration. He didnt agree to forcing the cubs to assimilate to blood legion as that will cause future animosity that they do not need. Like crecia they will always remember who theg were. He would again bang on about better fahrar structures and wpuld take the commanders and almorras side about aurene. He didnt want war anymore and instead wanted to see the charr become protectors, a spy network, and craftsman for the benefit for the rest of tyria. He would soon continue to butt heads with bangar even more as he railed on him about his failure to deal with the renegades that were hurting charr and foreigners. He would speak out against the antiforeigner sentiment since it rose to not just be about humans anymore. (He could understand that animosity. Like bangar he has seen what the humans can be capable and im still one to believe that while anet plays the humans in a good light due to gw1 i highly doubt the warcrimes just stopped at skinning a charr and wearing their pelts as armor . Or atleast i like to assume it was a lot more even in terms of the horror the two nations did to one another)
Renegades would plant a listening bug into a toy that octavos bought to give to biknip and soon bangar knew of octavoses illicit relationship that disgusted him. He gave octavos a ultimatum before the planning for the legion gathering truely came into motion. Retire early or have your mice killed. He retired, reluctantly. A part of him wishes he had stood up against him more. Maybe if he screamed more it wouldnt have came to civil war. His mate would soon live life as almost a werecharr, using magic. To go between human and charr. They liked the courage they felt as a charr but knew he was safe in octavoses arms even as a human. They would have a baby girl late in their life.

Lahabrea couldn’t be banished by us being a Paragon. So he returned. Nabriales was Sundered as was Igeyorhm which is why we could defeat them. Emet-Selch wasn’t able to be banished until we fused with Ardbert. Marking the first Paragon we were fully able to extinguish. Elidibus was infused with light forcing us to rely on G’raha’s plan to seal him and use him up with the Crystal Tower.
So all in all we only banished one paragon and two Sundered. While Lahabrea was absorbed by the eye of Nidhogg and Elidibus had to be dealt with through other means. I wonder if we had been able to banish Elidibus if he would of been apart of our Azem Crystal too. Emet becomes fully intergrated into the crystal when we summon his shade back in the Elidibus fight and Hythlodaeus latches on when we are about to face off with Zodiark.
Cool how that all pans out.

Sonic Wolf 6 Profiles: Wolf 6
Tumblr media
Oops, didn't mean to be so late wrapping up these posts! I was a bit busy getting back into plasma donation after an unexpected absence, is all. These next two should be scheduled, though.
Alright, time to Ken Penders this sucker!
Before we get started, though, I have decided on ONE change since the last post. Instead of linking it all individually, I'll simply make a master list post with all of the relevant links, and link to that in the future!
So, Masterlist with all of the links: https://www.tumblr.com/benis-chillin/706450181935218688/sonic-the-hedgehog-fanfiction-link-masterlist?source=share
Anyway, most of these guys are basically props for Jack's backstory, so we're not going to go TOO in-depth with most of them, but I'll try to give these random assortments of Sonic Forces Avatar pieces their due.
Tumblr media
Name: Boom
Wispon: Bomb
An explosives expert, and technically the first OC we saw onscreen(on-page?). For some reason, I've always interpreted him as having a German accent. Other than that, the most interesting thing about him is that I always viewed his Wispon as looking like the Seiza Blaster from Kyuranger. Someone feel free to draw that.
Tumblr media
He died in the story he was introduced in, though admitably, if I had that story to do over again, I would probably change his fate to a coma.
UPDATE: As of the 2023 revision, he is now in a coma.
Tumblr media
Name: OnePunch
Wispon: Drill
One of my more boring designs, more meant to fill a roster than anything. Because of that, I wrote him as the blandest man alive before taking him out in a blaze of glory.
Tumblr media
Name: Quickshot
Wispon: Standard(two)
One of the few females I've created, oddly. She's fairly important to Raccoon, being the one he saved when they first met, and being intergral to his intergration into Wolf 6. She was also the original owner of Lady Chao. Of the slain characters listed here, she probably has the best chance of coming back if the storyline allows it.
Tumblr media
Name: Chaz Hardcock
Wispon: Burst
Okay, this one is entirely a joke. He's basically just the OC I made for my Sonic Forces Retranslated cutscene comp that I gave a stupid name. His last name will obviously never be said on-screen, but I view him as a canon member of the team, AND still alive.
His Adventures: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhnIPa8XAn7yEWcJx9jMd-0dH10ttJsYU
Tumblr media
Name: Slings
Wispon: None
Another joke character because the goggles reminded me of the Amazing Spider-man. A lizard who was trapped in his spider-filled basement during the first two months of the war, Slings grew attached to the spiders, and believed that he had become one with them, and was thus always covered in them. He was on Wolf 6 because no other Resistance unit would take him, and essentially left to scouting duties. He didn't last too long, and will not be revived. Did not wield a Wispon due to his innate ability to shoot web-like blasts from his fingers, and had complete control over his spiders.
Tumblr media
Name: Wrecker
Wispon: Cube
An expert in demolition and sabotage, this young wolf died during the war, and was later brought back as an ECS Unit. I'd like to show how he's doing afterwards someday.
And now onto our bigger two, the ones that are guaranteed continued appearances: Edge and Spike.
Tumblr media
Name: Edge
Wispon: None
Age: Undecided, but presumably around 25-27.
Edge has his origins in the original phases of Jack, where I was just making an edgelord called Edgy the Boy because I'm an unfunny hack. I saved his original outfit to my closet in the game, so when I turned Jack into an actual character with his final outfit, I just used this to form a basis for the character of Edge, a loose cannon that went to prison over custom weapons dealing.
Tumblr media
He actually got a last minute redesign while Those who left us behind was being written, but his sword has been a constant. It was inspired by that sort of whip sword the red Zyuohger uses, as that felt like a very Sonic-y ability for him to have.
Tumblr media
I actually plan to do considerably more with this character in the future, so stay tuned.
Tumblr media
And of course, what is a character like Edge without a good counterpoint like Spike?
Obviously, she has a rebellious streak in her, like Edge does, but she expresses it in more healthy ways, like wearing more punk attire, or just the ability to properly question authority instead of disregarding protocol instantly like Edge does. This contrast, obviously, puts them at odds with each other, and Edge's less desirable traits vs Spike's less traditional worldview create a great stage for these two to clash.
I also view Spike as having something of an alternative lifestyle. Obviously, she's taken a liking to doing the Sally Acorn(remember, kids, only break the design rules if there's a good character reason for it), but as her brief cameo in Crawl Walk or Run indicates, she's willing to date pretty much anybody that works well with her. She's basically pansexual, if pansexuality also included robots and stuff. I plan to do more with this later.
Oh yeah, and she’s in the same age range as Edge...Almost forgot to mention that.
Her Wispon is a Spike Wispon, which has only been depicted as a larger weapon in IDW, but I'm gonna handwave that as a custom version and say that hers is more equivalent to the Hover Wispon. And her Wisp partner is the scarred one from the Rise of the Wisps short because why not? Not like it's ever gonna show up again later in actual canon.
Tumblr media
So yeah, that's about all she wrote about Wolf 6. I don't doubt that more will show up later, since there were 22 members, but for now, this is all I've got.
And next time, we conclude our little series with a look at each individual story I've done, and their origins! See ya then!
If you wanna read these stories, refer to the masterlist above!

Dsyfunctional Family pt 3 [Final]
Shen Jiu was training Liu Mingyan to take over his duties, well he seperated them between Sha Hualing and Ning Yingying. As the first three wives most of them combined could make a whole new Binghe.
All of the knoledge of Qing jing peak, brutal martial arts and quick thinking with stratergy and good looks, and the unhinged demon. All of them had their own speical talents and Shen Jiu knew once they took over he would become obsolete.
Luo Binghe wouldn't know what to do with Shen Jiu, he would realise he couldn't recreate what the other two had but if he helped rekindle the love of his three wives then maybe he could fix this?
Luo Binghe was becomming happier, and Shen Jiu was finally coming to terms of how much of a rotten teacher he had become.
Now to inact his plan.
-Liu Mingyan works in place of Shen Jiu for two weeks, Luo Binghe doesn't notice Shen Jius abscene assuming his former laoushi was working as diligently as always.
-Liu Mingyan is kidnapped, she ends up taking out her kidnappers before she is pinned with immortal binding cables, the head kidnapper is Shen Jiu!
"Well done, you got pretty far. Kidnappings will become a regular occurance by Luo Binghe's rivals so it's best to take everything accordingly." Liu Mingyan thought Shen Jiu was finally making his move, but he was still acting as a teacher.
"What have you learned?" he asked and she scowled "Never to trust a snake that bit you?"
Shen Jiu scoffed shaking his head and kneeled on one knee and unsheathed a knife, Liu Mingyan eyed it warily her heart pumping in her chest then blinked as he cut the binding cables and gave her the knife.
"Carry knifes whenever you can, in discreet places," here he raised his wrist and showed an opening.
"A binding cable, as small as a vein. Easier to hide and strong enough to subdue and take a hostage. It can even be sharp enough to slowly erode a Immortal binding cable."
Liu Mingyan took this with fascination. So this was a test.
"Although, it's pointless if Luo Binghe abandoned his post and saves you, but lets hoping he doesn't because that will be a mistake-"
-Doors slam open and theres Binghe!
[Shen Jiu had no clue that Luo Binghe only came to rescue HIM thinking it was some plot and that both Liu and Shen were hostages in danger, Shen Jiu thought Binghe was only coming to save Liu ^^;]
"And you failed." Shen Jiu deadpanned. Luo Binghe frowned taking in the scene, his hired goons raised their swords but Shen Jiu raised a hand.
"Shen Qingqiu!" Luo Binghe smirked "You've finally shown your hand-"
"Enough, as if I want to flirt with death." Shen Jiu sneered, he nodded at Liu Mingyan and she walked over to Binghe stepping behind him.
Shen Jiu produced a fan and lazily fanned his face.
"I knew this would happen eventually, most of your wives fall into plots of kidnapping so I decided to counter this. This was just to see how both of you would act, as leaders of the three realms and how you would react to losing someone intergral to keep your empire from falling apart." Shen Jiu sighed "I thought you were smarter than this."
"What saving my wife is dumb?"
"Yes. If you had any respect you would know that Liu Mingyan would save herself. Instead you abandoned your post so I have a question. Lord Luo Binghe."
The other glared at him silently.
"If both of the leaders of your empire is here. Then who is guarding your empire?"
Which was how they found the Huan hua palace in duress. Nearly ALL of his wives were tied up outside as hostages, his plauque was removed and Shen Jiu's men were stationed rather obviously around the palace.
It was a succesful takeover.
Shen Jiu gave Luo Binghe a dry look "Imagine if I was taking this seriously." His inner Shen Yuan was bemoaning.
Until there was a sudden boom!
the three watched perplexed before there was a sudden rumbling and in moments all of Shen Jiu's men began to purge out of the gates tripping over themselves, screaming in terror.
And there was Ning yingying! With Sha Hualing! Both along with most of the wives led the charge of removing their foes, they ended up freeing the hostages righ before their eyes and turned the tie.
Ning Yingying was battererd up with torn clothes.
But they were the victors.
She beamed at her old Shizun.
"Palace secured." Shen Jiu found himself beaming and reacted patting his little Ning Yingying on the head "Well done, and you Sha Hualing you have defiently learned compared to your explotes at Qing Jing peak." She flushed at the reminder of her failure then smirked.
"Shizun has been kind to Ling-er."
Shen Jiu turned to Luo Binghe "Forgive me my Lord, but words have been useless so I figured I could instead show you. You have so many competent wives an entire army at your disposal. Playing the hero not only hinders them it comes at a cost to you too."
He stood with his arms behind his back "If the abscene of Luo Binghe is so easy to have everything fall apart then maybe you don't deserve it."
Luo Binghe's gaze narrowed.
Luo Binghe had to be a politician, if he could win everything by fighting then he's nothing more than a common general.
He was smart enough to trick the other peak lords and Huan palace master, but his foes are cunning. And they needed to hone their skills before any more surprises.
"I had planned on more training modules, but this can only be the public one others might take advantage of such a weakness."
Shen Jius men were limping away while he spoke.
Luo Binghe had to punish him, but Shen Jiu wasn't wrong. To take control and undermine him a lord was a step too far.
Shen Jiu knew he was going to pay for this but he didn't care. He never wanted to die, or have his limbs ripped off or fighting tooth and nail his whole life for it to be meaningless.
Shen Jiu gasped then found himself lying on an array, he sat up fighting a rush of vertigo and dark spots clouding his vision.
"wha-"
"A-jiu!" He was suddenly eveloped in a tight hug and grunted, he looked up and saw Shen Yuan practically squeezing the life out of him.
"What- Where am I?"
Shen Yuan pulled back "We tried everything to get you back- we had no idea where you'd gone But it was Yue Qingyuan! He figured out how to bring you back- he's never left once!" Shen Jiu turned and blanched to see Yue Qingyuan and he looked awful, his smile was strained.
"I promised I would'nt leave Xiao Jiu behind."
Shen Jiu mouth trembled, Luo Binghe was also there his shards of Xin Mo pulsing then dying being used for their purpose.
Shen Jius eyes burned- they...they came back for him?
He barely even had any hope, never even entertained the thought he just thought they would give up leaving him behind.
Shen Jiu latched onto Shen Yuan hiding his face.
"You're back- you're home."
It was strange being back, he'd missed everyone and even felt himself clutching onto Shen Yuan and Luo Binghe when the others left.
"Is this real?"
Shen Yuans face looked heartbroken before fixing it "Did he use his dreams?" Luo Binghe tensed "Should I go? Would that help-"
"No- no...he, it was awful at first but he...he changed he was better. He really really wanted someone like you Shen Yuan someone to fix it but I..." Shen Jiu bit his lip harshly enough to draw blood.
"But I made it worse, I hurt him more when I wasn't even intending to. I really thought I could fix it, fix my mistakes but it wasn't enough."
He wanted to go back, he loved it here but...he missed the other Luo Binghe his luo binghe. And the Harem, they grew on him and he had felt so useful.
-Enter Luo Binghe, opening a rift and striding through. Shen Jiu tensed, he was going to take him again. But this time Yue Qingyuan stepped forward his hand latching onto his sword-
no!
Luo Binghe instead thrusted out a letter. Yue Qingyuan glared then took the letter and read it, his narrowed eyes raising higher and higher.
Shen Yuan moved over taking the letter his own surprise on his face.
"Wait- you're being serious."
"Yes." Luo Bing-ge glanced over to Shen Jiu then looked back to his 'parents'
"I would like to formally court Shen Jiu."
...What!?
He took Shen Jius hands his eyes looking confused then glared "Can you give me the chance to fix this?" Shen Jiu could only look him in the eyes his own flickering trying to read his thoughts. His mouth dry he couldn't speak only nodded.
Luo Binghe relaxed "I'll be going, but I'll be back, with gifts, and if you marry me I'll bring you here whenever you like, you won't lose your family again."
Shen Jiu's eyes burned- damn this body! prone to tears!
Shen Jiu inhaled "I- I want to fix this too, don't take all the responsibility."
Luo Binghes gaze softened then he kissed his hand keeping eye contact "Of course, Laoishi."
Shen Jiu flushed, now he knew why Shen Yuan couldn't stand the word Shizun when it was spoken that way the word was utterly ruined!

Dating Cleo Cazo would include
Tumblr media
Let's say she's out of prison.
Buckle up, the girl's a heavy sleeper.
She could sleep through anything so it might take a while if you're planning to wake her. (That scene where King Shark was literally trying to devour her but Cleo stayed asleep.💀)
You'd be the first one to stir awake every morning, but that doesn't put you at a disadvantage when you could spend much time gazing at her morning face.
Now, objective one: Rouse her from slumber.
Gentle touches or shaking wouldn't cut it, maybe kisses are worth a try.
Cleo loves your forehead and cheek kisses.
“Y/n stop, it tickles!”
“Then wake up, sleepy head.”
These are the moments she cherishes, so pure and endearing in contrast to her traumatic childhood.
Objective two: Get her out of bed.
“How long do you think it'd take me to get you out of bed this time?”
“I just woke up, I don't function well early in the morning.”
She might groan and whine for a while but she'd get up eventually.
Let's talk about her rat friends.
She'd introduced you to Sebastian before you two started dating.
“Why do you seem scared? Look, he's offering you a pretty leaf to show you he means no harm!”
“Why the fuck would I want a leaf?!”
She'd burst out laughing at your horrified state.
“You're just like Bloodsport.”
One night she'd take you out to stargaze and open up about her past.
“But why rats? Out of all the things.”
“My father once told me rats were the lowliest and most despised of all creatures. If they had a purpose, so did we all.”
After that night you'd begin to warm up to Sebastian and hey, maybe he isn't so awful after all.
Cleo'd be absolutely thrilled when you offer to look after Sebastian while she takes her long-awaited nap.
Well, she naps 24/7 but we don't talk about that.
She'd take you to Belle Reve to meet 'The Suicide Squad', though you hear they consider the term degrading.
Back to the present.
Your relationship consists of lots of kisses and cuddles from each other.
Taking naps together. :D
And taking Sebastian for a walk(?) in a nearby park is a must.
I see Cleo as the type to be patient and understanding.
Her teaching you to wield her wand someday. \ (•◡•) /
You’d both share the ability to control rats.
Seriously though, she trusts you so much to allow you to wield her father’s tool.
“Behold, Ratcatcher 3.”
“Pffft, you wish.”
She loves to watch you laugh, your smile brightens her day effortlessly.
And not once in your life would you ever think to fall for a girl called Ratcatcher.
But who are you to complain?
After all, you’re in love with her and that’s all it matters.
Tumblr media
Bonus
(During the visit in Belle Reve)
“So you’re Bloodsport, Cleo told me a lot about you.”
“And you must be y/n.”
Intergration session between him and you? Unfortunately, yes.
Yep, he was the father figure.
“Oh hi! You’re y/n, right?”
Harley was… welcoming, to say the least.
And the shark friend. Oh boy.
“Y/n. Cleo girlfriend?”
“I- what.”
“Nanaue!”
Long story short, the visit was eventful.
And she had to explain what King Shark meant by earlier.

A Darker History (Part 2)
Tumblr media
Prince Ben stood in front of a mirror resisting the urge to fidget every time the tailor manouvered another sewing needle across the sleeves of his to-be suit.
To take his mind off it, he dazed out the window across the splendorous view of his home to the floating eyesore perched in the middle of the ocean. A dark and gloomy island with a perpetual cloud hanging over it. An eyesore, garbage dump and prison barge were various iterations of what it represented to the interlocking monarchies that made up his home.
He pondered the idea and all the people he knew that had said those things, particularly his aunt. He never knew her well, even when his mother tried to get them acquainted with one another. Before he could ponder further about his bewildering aunt his thoughts were halted.
“How is it your about to become king?” A bold voice filled the room with a hint of an underlying reverberation.
“He’s just a baby” it hummed.
A sweet giggle followed “He’s turning sixteen dear” it chirped.
His mother and father approached him queuing a sense of dread to follow.
Now or never.
He made it a point to breath before he spoke.
“Mom, Dad, I’ve decided my first proclamation for my submission to the crown”
“Oh” King beast said indecipherably to his son. He nodded for the tailor to take his leave.
His mother much more enthusiastic at the announcement folded her sons casually strewn jacket as the doors closed behind the third party“What have you decided?”
Deep breath
“I’ve decided to begin disbanding the Isle of the Lost”
For the first time in his life it was his mother that spoke first. “Oh, and how are you planning to go about that?”
Quick and with a quiver it came out,
His fathers knuckles white by his side, processing the question and waiting for a response. As he’d learned we’re needed in delicate situations.
“I’ve drafted a bill” he started slowly “ to intergrate children of the isle into Auradon, we start -“
“WHAT!” His fathers neck was red.
His mother had dropped the jacket to the floor “Adam!” She scolded, he took pause and looked to his wife, his neck red and his breathing ragged.
They stared at each other as Adams breathing evened until he let out a puff and looked to his son slowly nodding to continue.
“We start small, I’ve selected four to come over at first and then over time more would join.”
They just stared so he scrambled to continue
“I want the isle gone, we have this beautiful home and any time we look out the window, there is a dark cloud that puts a shadow on everything.”
“I want Auradon to be a shining jem and it can’t be as long as that place exists”
His father pondered “Then destroy it.”
Belle’s eyes went wide as her head snapped to him, her eyes moving back and forth, a million thoughts rushing through her head, people, children,her sister, that house, screaming” she went to reply but Ben had beat her to it.
“Then that cloud will just grow darker, Auradon would be no different than that place”
Belle looked down her eyes sweeping across the floors as more thoughts flooded her brain, until they swept across the box skirted by a clothed table in the corner.
Her mind resolved and she arrived at the logical conclusion “Who are their parents?”
“Jaffar…The Evil Queen…Cruella DeVil and Maleficent” A held breath escaped The Queens mouth”
King Adam, not so quiet “NO! The worst villains in the land, among us! Absolutely not!”
Bens voice matched his fathers “It’s not your choice!..It’s mine…and their children ARE innocent”
Belle reprieved “ I suppose they are innocent…good work” she finished quietly.
She linked arms with her still seething husband and lead him out.
When the doors closed and the King and Queen were alone a new tension built between them.
“You know what this means, don’t you?” He spoke softly.
“Of course I do”
“How will she react?”
“I don’t know.”
_____________________________
Ben gazed out the window and sighed in relief, he glanced at the box under the table and back to the window.
Now the real work was to begin.

Another instalment, please comment and share and feel free to message any ideas you might have.

Hi I have a Tekken lore ask! What do you think Kazuya did after Heihachi threw him off a cliff as a child? Before they retconned the story in Tekken 7 I always assumed he just went back to grow up with Heihachi (while planning to get revenge behind his back) but that wouldn't really make sense after the retcon since it seemed like Heihachi would just try to kill him since he now knows he has the Devil Gene for sure?
Kazuya Mishima’s Early History
Hey thanks for this question!
I actually wrote a section in Kazuya’s bio specifically on this topic, since it’s one that comes up frequently, though usually because people have taken the animated movie to heart, and believe that Kazuya never went back to live with Heihachi.
I will put the link at the bottom, but the long and the short of it is that he was raised by Heihachi for all his childhood, and the greatest evidence attesting to this is Lee Chaolan. Lee was adopted by Heihachi to be Kazuya’s rival after Heihachi saw him streetfighting in an unnamed Chinese city. At the time that Kazuya was thrown of a cliff, Lee would have been four-years-old. Street-fighting four-year-olds are not very common. This along with the fact that Lee’s bios tell us he was raised with the same strict upbringing as Kazuya, tell us that Lee was adopted after the cliff incident and that Kazuya lived under Heihachi’s roof until he challenged him in the first Iron Fist Tournament (there is other evidence too, like Kazuya’s original Tekken bio stating that he spends his days annoying Heihachi and is an aristocrat of independent means “Occupation: Vexing his father (as he is the son of an aristocrat, money doesn't concern him.)”. This strongly implies that Kazuya is a part of Heihachi’s household).
As for Tekken 7, the main problem I think you are getting at is – what does Heihachi know about the Devil Gene, now that he’s seen Kazumi attack him. This is also an understandable conundrum, not least because Lars complicated it in Tekken 6 too. I addressed this in a section on the Devil Gene page which I will also link to at the bottom. Basically, the ‘Devil Gene’ as a concept is not something that was ‘discovered’ in the Tekken universe until around the time of Tekken 4, when scientific breakthroughs occurred, primarily in the Devil-Human Intergration Program and the Mishima Zaibatsu Super Soldier Program (links below), both of which were Heihachi’s most forthright attempts to understand what Kazuya and Jin had that he didn’t.
If we look at what Heihachi says about Kazumi in the past, he states that she kept falling to bouts of illnesses and seemed to have had a split personality before it finally manifests in this devil form. Heihachi to some degree seems concerned that not only might his son have somehow “contracted” this illness, but he himself might have too, hence his later decision to check, and have Lars (just throwing this out there but to ‘check’ Lars didn’t have the Devil Gene, he presumably also had to traumatise this kid too. Did Lars get thrown of a Swedish mountain at some point? Maybe.)
Heihachi has always gone from yeeting the 5-year-old Kazuya to “fine I will raise him”. We can only speculate about why he did this, but from the kind of person he is – Kazuya climbed back up and fought for his place in the world, and Heihachi favours that kind of attitude and strength. He seems to want to push his son to be the best he can be – he seems to want to give him a fighting chance next time Heihachi intends to kill him. So even though Heihachi believes Kazuya has Kazumi’s 'illness', he seems intent on raising him in order to beat him man-to-man in his own warped, Heihachi sense of honour.
Kazuya’s early history
Heihachi’s relationship to the Devil Gene

My dumbass always breaks my own heart with a sadass ending- i gotta make a happy ending
Tumblr media
-hello yes I am a bio-medical-engeering scientist in trainning- nice to meet you
-Wheeljack was the one to get spotted and brought you in
-Ratchet was quiet impressed when you introduced yourself- he could hold a conversation with someone else besides Raff now
-he also thought you were quiet beatiful- you know- for a human- who was he kidding- he thought you were gorgeous
-Ultra Magnus also seemed quiet impressed with you- which was rare and Ratchet Hated it
-So when Ratchet actually was assigned to be your gaurdian he secretly mentally died inside knowing he'd see you- often- and alone- fuck-
-you introduced yourself to him respectfully, calling him Dr. Ratchet seeing it was appropriate- he let it slide- but only for you
-only after a few drives and projects you both worked on, he was head over heels, enjoying your thinking face the most- or maybe it was your dedication- even falling asleep in your projects
-Raff out of all people spotted it first, and then comforted Ratchet on it.
-"Why would I like a human- Plus. Im perfectly fine by myself" "Ratchet." -silence- "say I metaphorically- hypothetically did have such- emotions-" "Ratchet just tell her the truth"
-So Ratchet did it! He confessed! Sort of!- Okay maybe not really!:
It was a late night, Y/n staying over at the base to work with Ratchet as she screwed smaller peices together ment for the control panel of the base.
"I feel you eyes boreing into my head. Whats the matter?" Y/n asked turning her head seeing Ratchet indeed looking at her.
"I."
Y/n sat ready to listen, "Intergrating species? What is your take?"
"Mhmm." Y/n thought, "I never thought about that before."
Another moment of silence, "Well! Actually I suppose I have thought about it." Y/n smiled.
"You have?"
Y/n nodded, "I'd always wondered what it'd be like if me and you went out together."
"Went out together?" Ratchet asked- was this happening?
Y/n nodded once more, "Of course. You know when I first met you. I thought you'd be another person to not take me seriously. But it turns out you took me seriously. Im glad you did so. You've became someone I not only look up to but love dearly."
"And you mean this?" Ratchet questioned, shocked by her bluntness.
"Well of course. I'd hope you'd love me too. " she smiled, "I figured that's why we're such great friends. I've never had a friend like you, and Im glad we're friends."
-did- did he get friendzoned??????
-he was lucky to clarify it for you, but barely
-cue fluttered Y/n and a quick: "well look what time it is by! Smokescreen! Its one of those times!" "I gotchu homie!"
-you didnt come to base for a week unable to process what happened
-so Ratchet showed up at your house- well in your living room- so you walked out in your towel to a random- yet handsome- man in your living room- so lets call 911-
-Ratchet stopped you claiming it was his "holoform" you were suspicious. But he knew facts and thinks about the autobots so you believed him
-"I-uh...you want tea and biscuits? Coffee? A smack to the head for breaking and entering into my house!"
-he let you get dress- to his dismay- I mean what
-You got dressed made a tray of coffee with some sweets and brought it over- you poured him a cup akwardly handing him the beaker tea cup:
"So. Uh. Scientist even at home?" Ratchet said gesturing to the robotic-scientisty tea set
"Oh uh. Yes. It was a gift. From uh. A. A coworker." Y/n responded sipping from her Erlenmeyer Flask.
"Very clever."
Y/n nodded as the silence was thick.
"I-" y/n sppke up her face bursted in red, "Apologize...for um...running off like that. It was unprofessional of me."
"It was unprofessional of me to think of you in such a way." Ratchet apologized.
"Its my fault. I should have been more respectful." She spoke setting her cup down infront of the tea tray kneeling on the floor besides where Ratchet sat on the couch pouring some more for herself.
Taking the opportunity to sit closer to him she sat on the cushion besides his, but then again akward silence.
"I understand if-"
"Listen I really like you! And I know its werid! But your so much more that someone I just look up to!" Y/n spoke over Ratchet quickly, surpising him as she flushed darkly, looking away.
"Y/n."
She looked back at him as her lips were captured in a kiss, a hand ran to the back of her head fingers intangled in her hair. Shocked by what was happening she welcomed the kiss hrr hesd being tilted as she kissed back, setting the cups on the table her fingers ran through his hair as her brother walked in the house.
-WHO TF IS THIS SIS-
-No! Wait! Dillion! I can explain! Do not go and get the sandal! Not the sandal!
-Ratchet got the sandal- then you got the sandal
-you started coming back to base which made both of you happy- Smokescreen was wondering if you both were a thing-so he got the sandal
-you both work together even more now
-When he was in conversation with you the bots never attempted to talk to Ratchet- knowing they couldn't get through to him.
-when he was captured by the Decepticons you were furious- so furious that you went and faced Megatron- alone. Calling him out
-Megatron respected you for such courage- Ratchet thought you were plan stupid
-but it gave the autobots time to sneak into the warship. Which you were applauded for
-Evidently the autobots won, and were finally able to go home, back to Cyberton
-Ratchet said he was staying on Earth but you argued that he deserved to go home, to help rebuild the world he had pleaded for.
-he still stayed- which of course you were happy for, but couldn't help in feeling that you had been one of the major reasons he stayed- and felt somewhere deep inside it was your fault
-sooner or later, you both did say goodbye- even if it was bittersweet.
-you never seen him again, and lived your life, you had fallen in love- got married- and had children- but of course I have to have a sad ending
-The bots had visited the humans again- but no Y/n:
The bots came through the space bridge, feeling at home almost immediately as they were greeted by there old friends.
"And Y/n?" Ratchet asked.
"Please. Tell him! I swear he's been more energetic than Bumblebee to come see her." Arcee teased with a laugh as Ratchet rolled his optics.
The three looked at one another, unable how to tell him.
"Uncle Jack." The small boy hidden behind him asked, "He doesnt know about Mommy?"
"She had a child?" Ratchet asked quiet shocked, his spark starting to break.
A small girl poked her head out with her brother as she looked up at the bots.
"Twins actually." Jack spoke a lump in his throat, looking down at the young kids, "They live with me. After..."
"After?" Ratchet asked.
"She got sick." Raff informed, "Ratchet. Y/n passed away two years ago. She died from brain cancer."
"I don't understand. Y/n was healthy before I left I did not leave that long ago." Ratchet spoke.
"Ratchet you've been gone for fifteen years." Miko spoke, "anything can happen."
The other bots in the room saddened by the news but not as much as Ratchet, she got married, had two kids, and passed away within the time he had been gone.
"Hey." The small girl spoke tapping on the ped of Ratchet, holding hands with her brother as they looked up at Ratchet, both almost perfect images of Y/n, "Momma never liked anyone sad. So can you smile?"

Ashes To Ashes
Pairing: Fred Weasley x Reader
Request: ‘Please could you write a Fred Weasley imagine where you’re inside the burrow when Bellatrix sets it on fire and Fred runs in to get you out?? Thank you, I’m really loving you writing!’ For anonymous
Ps- i havent read the books or seen the movies in a while so I kinda went w the time it was fleur & bills wedding & intergrated it w that, sorry if its not what u wanted but I did write Bellatrix’s attack in x
Tumblr media
————
Today was the big day. For today was the the day where Fleur & Bill were finally to be wed. For their celebration to erase war from anyones thoughts, today they were just two kids in love, not undercover Order Workers. Today they were simply girl & boy.
“Oi Y/N hurry up, Fleur’s asking for you” Ginny shouts practically breathless as she runs past your room, trying to find Hermione for the bride.
You pick up the gorgeous bouqet that earlier today you picked up from the florist for the woman and made your way downstairs into the living room. As you take a closer look, you notice something is off. Fleur was standing rigidly still, looking in the mirror unblinking.
“Fleur, darling, are you alright?”
The woman remained silent, Y/N had no idea what to do, she’d never seen her friend so paniced, so immobile. Ever since Y/N’s sixth year (after the Triwizard Tournament) the two kept in contact, maintaining a solid friendship with the other, who wouldve known that years later Fleur would join the family that you had already been apart of.
“Its okay to be nervous.” You sit beside the Frenchwoman “Just talk through it” grabbing her hand you pull her down to sit beside you.
“It’z all so scary Y/N. I love Bill, I really do, but what if he realises he doesnt feel the same about me and leaves me there?” She faces you, eyes glossed over
That caused you to frowm slightly “Bill loves you more than he loves life itself Fleaur, everybody knows that he’d do anything for you just to see you happy- not many can say that they have a person like that.” You smile lightly, thinking about your person. “You constantly say how much you love him, so if you stil feel that for him, theres no need to be scared of getting married-These are the normal pre wedding doubts, none of them are true. Besides, I’m sure if Bill tried to run away from such a gorgeous and talented person as you, Molly would raise havoc and go to the ends of the earth to get him back.”
Fleur looks up at you, smiling, but with stray tears going down her face “Thank you Y/N” she throws herself forward and hugs you “It’s just a big step & I’ve been so emotional lately because of-“ she hesitates
A look of realisation dawns on you and you beam, hugging her once more but tighter “You’re joking? Congratulations!” You give her a peck on the cheek “Does Bill know?” You queried as she shook her head
“Non, I only confirmed it a week ago. Please dont tell anyone Y/N.” She looks at you with pleading eyes and you vigorously nod
“Of course. I wont say a thing, this is your secret. But how about we start getting ready for your wedding hmm.”
As Y/N started to do Fleurs makeup, Hermione rushed in with the wedding dress that her and Molly had been making final adjustments to, Ginny was running around frantically trying to get all the guests in the right places and seats. Once commisioning your help to shout at a group of loiterers to leave the premises because they wouldnt listen to the red head girl. All in all, after many hours, Fleaur was ready.
“You look gorgeous.” Gabrielle beamed at her sister
“Stunning.”
“Ethereal.”
“I might just steal you from Bill” you wink and cause her to laugh and blow you a kiss “I’ll go get everyone ready, you still have plenty of time to relax.” Handing Gabrielle the bouqet, you rush out of the room, which proved to be quite difficult in heels. But bearing through the pain, you get outside and see rows and rows of the fragile golden chairs set on either side of the long purple carpet. The supporting poles to the gazeebo top were entwined with gorgeous white and gold flowers. As you look to where there was supposed to be an enormous bunch of balloons, you frown to see it bare.
“George!” You shout getting his attention “Wheres Fred? You were supposed to the balloons up ages-“ you feel strong arms pick you up and spin you around, making you let out a shriek of surprise, thankfully not loud enough to get the attention of the others
“I’m here my love, disposable at your command.” He purrs into your ear, sending chills down your spine
“Put me down asshole” you laugh and turn to face him, before you could manage to say anything you were taken aback at how he looked. “You got a haircut.” You stated plainly and ran a hand through his hair as he put his arms around your waist.
“Correction, George cut my hair when I wasnt paying attention so ‘people would be able to tell the difference between us’” he wrinkled his nose
You stare at him, dumbstruck “As if the hole on the side of his head wasnt enough.” Fred laughs and says thats what he said “I like it, it suits you.”
Fred grins and kisses you, “Lets face it Y/N you like anything when its to do with me.”
You roll your eyes and hum in agreement “Thats because I love you Fred. But I will seriously consider breaking up with you if you dont get the balloons up as you promised.”
Fred gives you a small peck & jumps back from you “I’m on it!” and runs over towards his brother to finally do what he had to. You smile at him, reminiscing at how you managed to fall in love with such an idiotic man, yet you could never wish for more. Fred Weasley was truly perfect.
Shaking your head you turn back to the guests that were not where they were supposed to be before shouting “Get to your seats and away from the food please! Thats for after the ceremony!” You swat their hands before adding “If you dont know where youre supposed to be, go to Hermione and Molly, they will tell you.” You motion to the pair before walking around to make last minute adjustments.
The wedding ceremony went beautifully, Fleur was walked down with her bridesmaids: Gabrielle & Ginny. When in sight, she rendered everyone breathless, she was ethereal, the most gorgeous a person could possibly look. Molly teared up from the get go at the sight of her eldest marrying, many more joined in when they said their vows. You could not believe that the day of your friends wedding had finally arrived. Throughout the entire sitting down portion of the ceremony, Fred was holding your hand and rubbing circles on it, an assurance that through everything you went through- you were still together- still alive.
*
The loud music was ringing through the field, dancing bodies surrounded you, but you paid them no mind, your main focus on Fred.
“Did I tell you how gorgeous you look Y/N?”
You laugh lightly as you sway to the beat “No, I must’ve missed it the other ten times you said it”
“Well you do, absolutely bewitching, are you sure you didnt use a love poition on me? I never knew feeling this was possible.” He jokes as he spins you
“Must be my natural charm and charisma that got you so captured Fred.”
“Must be.” He mutters softly looking into your eyes. Fred was completely besotted by you, more than anyone had ever seen him be, he just knew that Y/N was perfect. The way that she’d light up any room she walked in, the way that she’d never back down from a challenge, and just simply how she made him feel. Dear Merlin he loved the girl. “After this do you fancy going away for a bit?”
You look at him sceptically “Planning out your murderous fantasies are we?”
He laughs and shakes his head “You’re impossible. No, since the shops closed I thought we could go away somewhere before everything with the war kicks off, I want as much time with you as I can get.”
“Oh” you forgot that the wizarding world was on the brink of war “Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that. But if you sneak George along i swear to Merlin I will live through my murderous fantasy & kill the pair of you.”
Fred chuckles again, before nodding “Promise, no George. I think he got an eyefull when he barged into our room without knocking.”
“Serves him right.” You mumble “I told him on multiple occasions to knock.”
The rest of the song died down and you stayed in Freds arms for a moment, before he was being wisked away to dance with Aunt Muriel, he held an awfully sour look as you giggled when she hounded on him to straighten his back, then saying that he was too tall.
“I’m a bit cold, I’ll go get a jacket then I’ll be right back” Y/N kissed his cheek & left to get back inside the burrow. Thinking nothing of it, she poured herself another drink, smiling to herself at how Fred would have to have another dance with Muriel. What an awful woman.
Unbeknown to the girl, a silver patronus intruded on the celebration to announce grave news. “The Ministary has fallen. The Minister of magic is dead. They are coming. They are coming.” Everyone scrabled to find their loved ones, to make sure that they were safe, but before Fred even had the chance to look for Y/N, everything burst into havoc. The gazeebo was now engulfed in flames, Death Eaters showing up everywhere to curse them.
“Y/N!” Fred shouted, frantically looking around for the girl “Y/N!”
He turned around and was greeted by a paniced Mr Weasley “Theres not much time Fred, I dont know where she is, you need to get to safety and leave. Now!”
Fred ignored his fathers protests and ran, dodging various spells being shot from either side. He had to find you, he had to know you were safe.
An abrupt crash jolts you back into reality, you get up to run and go outside but with a sudden ‘whoosh’ and black smoke- two Death Eaters appear infront of you.
“Shit.” You mumble & grab your wand, quickly dodging their spells you manage to knock one out & try to deal with the other. “You’re quite persistant-“ blue sparks shoot from your wand, the figure ran upstairs & you follow.
“And you’re associated with mud-blood scum!” A flash of green emerged from their wand that narrowly missed you, you grin
“You missed.” You kick a chair at the figure, momentarily distracting them to cast a spell “Stupefy! Petrificus totalus!” As the figure was knocked out & bound together, you walk over and spit out “Get a life, prick” snapping their wand in two.
In the middle of your fight, you had not noticed that the commotion outside had turned to an arsonists playground. looking through the window you call for Fred, hearing no response your heart stops, you leave the room & try to get down the stairs but now they were already engulfed by flames.
“Oh shit” you panic and shoot spells at it to stop the fire from spreading, but to no avail, it only got worse. Smoke was now clouding your vision, realising that if you were not to jump down you’d perish in this fire. Letting out a short breath, you hype yourself up for the leap of your life “You can do it Y/N. Come on” violetly coughing, you jump. Unfortunately landing a fair few stairs too high. Unbearable pain shoots up through your leg & you cry out in pain.
Sinking to the floor you couldnt even move, the pain in your arm and leg restricting you. This was it, this would be how you die. All alone, with no one to help you, no one to save you. In a burning house. Yet the only thought racing through your mind was ‘Is Fred safe’. Thankfully most of the fire was behind you, the staircase had completely gone up in flames however, the roof was begining to crumble down. A plank toppled down, narrowly missing you, but making the room next to you catch on fire.
As you were losing conciousness you hear a strained yell “Y/N!” You try to respond, but all that came out was a series of violent coughs “Y/N im coming, hang on!” You couldn’t see what was happening, i dont know if it was the thick cloud of smoke or the fact that you were breathing most of it in, but your vision blurred.
A faint figure emerged, breathless, trying to get through the flames & to you fast enough “Hey Y/N ive got you, im here.” You felt yourself being picked up & your body fell like a ragdoll. “Oh merlin dont die on me Y/N.” Was the last thing you heard before passing out.
*
The abrupt light and noise woke you up, yet you were unable to open your eyes, they were far too heavy for the little energy you had. Were you dead? Is this what death felt like?
“Stop pacing Fred, she’ll be fine.” You heard a voice say, however, unable to distinguish who it belonged to “shes a strong girl, the nurses said so.”
“Yeah they also said she’d wake up yesterday, so my apologies if I dont believe what they have to say.” He snapped
Fred. Oh yes, Fred. He came into the building to save you didnt he? So that answered your question of being dead. You were very much alive, but dear Merlin you were in unbearable pain.
“She’ll be up and about soon though? Her body was exhausted thats why shes sleeping so long right?” He continued, sounding unsure. Well if this is how they reacted to you passing out you wouldn’t want to know how theyd react if you died.
“And id appreciate it if I could sleep some more.” You croak out as you let your eyes open. Coming to face the whole clan of distressed red heads, Harry, Hermione & Fleur.
Fred snaps to face you and a look of relief washes over his features “Y/N” he whispers and rushes to your side hugging you “You’re okay. You’re alive. Thank Merlin.”
You try to chuckle, which abruptly turns into a wheze “I’m okay yeah, in a lot of pain but I’m fine.” Fred retreats from you, an apologetic look on his face.
“Come on kids lets give them some space.” Molly ushers everyone out of the room “I’m glad you’re okay Y/N” she sends you a smile and leaves the room for you and Fred to be alone.
Moments pass with Fred just looking at you with glassy eyes before he abruptly let out “You bloody scared me half to death!”
You motion for him to help you sit up “Oh I do apologise that me nearly burning in a fire scared you. I wasnt very happy about it either.”
Fred looks at you speachless, confused at how you can joke about it so soon. He remains quiet before letting out a big sigh and hanging his head into his lap “I thought I lost you.” He mumbles, barely loud enough for you to hear
“Hey, look at me.” You say and put his face into your left hand with the little energy you have “I’m okay, I’m alive. And so are you” he smiles faintly before you continue “Obviously as gorgeous as ever, so nothing irreversible happened.”
He laughs “Obviously.”
While in the room Fred filled you in on what happened, that after the Death Eaters showed up & they fought them off- Bellatrix Lestrange set fire to the burrow & he ran in to get you out. He told you that you passed out & that you had to be taken to St Mungos to treat your broken leg and the burn on your arm.
“The nurses said you were lucky to get out alive Y/N” he said lowly, not being able to bear the thought of your death.
“Im alive because of you Fred. Thank you.” You offer a weak smile “There were two Death Eaters in the house when it burned up-“
“Thats not on your concious to bear, Its on Bellatrix Lestrange.”
You nod, in all honesty you didnt feel bad that they perished in the fire- their downfall was their own undoing. But what was on your mind was the fire burn “When I’m better do you recon I’ll l have a cool badass scar?”
Fred shakes his head as he holds your hand, of course thats what Y/N is thinking about “‘course you will, It’ll become part of badass backstory.”
“Good” you mumble and close your eyes. After a long silence you relax back into your pillow, the sleeping draft & skelly-grow hitting you like a brick. You begin to mumble incoherent sentences
“Hey Freddie?”
He looks at your peaceful face, all calm against the pillow and responds “Yes my love?”
After a little pause of small mumbles, you ask “When I’m better, can we leave for our trip?”
“Whatever you want Y/N.” He smiles lightly & watches you drift off to sleep, hoping that ‘better’ would come along faster.

Can I ask for your thoughts on Isildur, please?
I’ve been awake for 17 hours so I have neither the capability to answer this clearly but also no impulse control to stop me from trying so! 
I like him! I think he’s a good chap! It’s worth remembering that no one actually knew what the one ring would do to someone. The original reason for taking the ring being ‘weregild’ is important, that’s a societally understood and intergrated concept within these peoples, Isildur was well within his rights. And like! He wasn’t even really taken in by the ring! Elrond and Cirdan really had no clear reasoning at the time to encourage him to cast the ring aside other than their feeling as far as I recall. 
Isildur is!! Tragic!! Like he was just going home to his wife and young son he hadn’t seen for seven years! He didn’t do anything because of the Ring’s influence. His sons were killed in an ambush and he fought until he could no longer, he wanted to go home! 
And like... this fellow was sensible! He left Gondor in trust to Anarion’s son, he knew this was an unwieldy stretch of land and Anarion’s family had been safeguarding it far longer than he’d spent time there. Like! Isildur made sensible decisions, mourned his father and tried to hold his people together. Once again, I am just staggered by how eager Peter Jackson was to make the ‘men weak and evil, elves good and virtuous’ narrative out of whole cloth. 
I mean, he’s a King, so 👎 but also maybe not, a lot of Kings were good! And perhaps Arnor got off to a rocky start with them having to deal with a boy-king for so long at their teething days rather than Isildur who probably had good plans to shore up and establish his familial culture and creed. Obviously I stan Anarion more just because the man sat himself in Osgiliath and was like I WILL NOT be moved and whilst Gil Galad and Elendil et al were pootling about trying to win alliances he was like NO COOL, YOU ALL TAKE YOUR TIME I’LL JUST BE HERE... FIGHTING SAURON ON MY OWN, THAT’S JUST FINE. But... I still think Isildur’s alright. 
Also him sneaking off to snatch the white tree was very funny, like he really was like GIVE ME FIVE MINUTES to the WHOLE FLEET of faithful ships who really needed to leave before Eru did his warcrimes on them all and pelted off to do some divine thievery. I just think he’s neat.

Lilo and Stitch Crossover Arc: “Rufus” (Kim Possible) Better and Worse (Paid for by WeirdKev27)
Tumblr media
Aloha all you happy people! It’s back to Kauai for the third of my look at LIlo and Stitch’s crossover episodes! This retrospective was made possible by WeirdKev27, who had the idea for it and paid for me to review these episodes. You too can buy reviews for only 5 bucks a pop. Just go to my ask, Direct Messages or discord.
Now with my plugging out of the way, this one, out of all four is the one I looked forward to the most, and out of the four shows in this crossoverathon to make the trip to the Kauai, this one is hands down my faviorite. 
Kim Possible was just damn good and having rewatched a handful of episodes and the movie (Easily one of my faviorite Disney movies and the best DCOM, I will not back down on either), I can say it holds up every bit as good as it did in the early 2000′s. Frankly like Danny Phantom i’m surprised I never thought to get to it till now. But no time like the present: The show proper is a fun super spy sendup, but still feels unique: Instead of i’ts Teen Superspy working for some knockoff of MI6 or S.H.I.E.L.D., Kim is self employed, simply helping people because it’s the right thign to do and not for any reward with the help of her bumbling  but loveable sidekick and future boyfriend Ron, though the romance angle wasn’t overplayed with the two, just hinted at here and there, enough to make it plausable for Ron to realize he has feelings in the movie and for Kim to return them and frankly it’s probably the best handled “Friends to lovers’ plot i’ve seen in a children’s cartoon. I”ll get more into that if I hit my stretch goal for it on patreon, more on that at the end of the review, but while it has no baring on this review I still felt it worth noting as that trope is NOT easy to pull off.
Point is, the show was smart, funny, engaging and had two great characters, a tremendously talented voice cast, and more anchoring it. It was a treasured part of my adolsence. It also had one of the only succesful “Save our show” campagins from fans i’ve ever seen. Despite So The Drama having been written as a finale and having reached Disney’s episode count, fan demand for a fourth season was so incredibly high we got one and it’s to this day one of the very few Disney shows to live past three seasons as a result. The show is in full on Disney Plus, along with the movie, which I HIGHLY recommend and hope I get to talk about, and the recent live action remake movie which .. is not bad. Not GREAT but the leads do make a good kim and ron, paticuarlly my boy Sean Gambone as Ron, and for a live action remake it really does get the spirit of the show. 
But obviously we’re not here to talk about the show proper, though I REALLY want to now, but instead it’s crossover. So far the crossovers for Lilo and Stitch have been, much like said live action remake, OKAY, but nothing amazing, often shoving in sideplots related to Lilo and Stitch proper we didn’t need, forced morals and not really having a good amount of character intraction. The good news is this crossover DOES fix a lot of that.. the bad is that it also has some new problems, and still falls into some of the same traps the other episodes have. See what I mean with the full review under the cut!
Tumblr media
We open at night, with Lilo and Stitch playing hide and seek. Adorably though Sttich dosen’t quite get the hang of it and proudly announces where he is. However things are quickly interupted when he’s kidnaped by a mystery ship out of the blue. It’s a good hook to start with, leaving us wondering who it could be...
And thus, if you hadn’t gone into this episode knwoing it was a crossover, giving us a hell of a reveal with a cut to Dr. Drakken being the one to kidnap stitch!
Tumblr media
Look I love this Doofus. He’s easily one of John DiMaggio’s best roles, up there with Jake and Bender, and the one along with Bender that cemented his career. as one of voice acting’s finest. He’s just so loveably incompetent, over the top and quick to bicker with Sheego, which leads to some of the funneist moments in his home series as she’d either skewer him good or he’d shove his boot in his mouth and help her point instead of his own. He’s just such a great character and he not only fits neatly into Lilo and Stitch’s world, but the writers clearly get him perfectly. We get a hilarious bit where, fed up with Hamsterviel, who he’s teamed up with, he simply fakes the radio going out, adjusting the dials purposfully to make it come in buggy something I GUARANTEE he put in for SHeego and I gurantee she saw right through. His plan is to create a clone army of Stiches.. meaning Hamsterviel’s big evil plan.. is a copy of someone else’s.
Lilo goes to Jumb and Pleakly, the latter of whom has been collecting magazines adorably. Lilo plans to go after Stitch but Jumba says she can’t go on dangerous missions without him and to get a professional and this part.. does not work for me. Most of the time Jumba ENABLES Lilo’s behaviors and while not wanting an 8 year old to run out into the night is a good call, he also suggests getting help.. instead of you know GOING WITH HER WHEN IT’S LIGHT. It sounds more like Nani’s idea... it fits her more to not want Lilo to run out and to want to get help versus Jumba whose admant about keeping secrecy yet very lax on things, and you know would BE concerned that his prized creation was suddenly stolen and actually think about it. He’s just so horribly out of character it hurts. 
And Nani’s absence really hurts the episode. See the last two, as much as I missed the lovely and talented Tia Carrere’s presence, didn’t really need her, though still could’ve included her: she could’ve made a cameo at the start since Lilo was there to visit her and she woul’dve made a better target for Spats than trudy, with Oscar fighting Jumba instead, allowing us some crossover interactions instead of having Jumba argue with a random asshole the episode wrote in. But it’s minor stuff. Here though? Her being the one to tell Lilo not to go would’ve made more sense: She’s protective by nature, and while she’s let go more since the movie, it’d make sense for her NOT to want Lilo to blindly chase after someone who beat stitch of all beings, as well as for her ot be the one to later tell Kim not to let lilo be involved. It’d be stronger coming from her sister and surrogate mother than Pleakly and it would’ve been a better arc to have Nani let Lilo off the leash so to speak and accept she needed to save kim. Instead she’s just gone for no reason and Jumba is grosly out of character and i’m disapointed. 
That said the setup is the best and most intergrated so far: Pleakly sees an article about kim so he reaches out to her via a message on her site, while Lilo is stubborn about not being help.. obnoxiously so to the point it hurts the episode. While her being inscure about someone else saving Sttich would be fine, the episode never adresses that and instead just has her say she can because shut pu instead of accepting help. The episode would’ve flowed better if instead she accepted kim but Nani had Kim push her away, and thus create more problems. More on that in a bit. 
But as I said this setup is great: it uses BOTH shows for once isntead of feeling like the first two, and honestly the next one judging by the blurb on the wiki, where its just “Hey x character visits Kauai”, here it blends both: The two main villians team up, and Kim is logically called for help since that’s what she does and they don’t want to risk lilo’s saftey. It’s good stuff. 
So our other heroes enter the episode, on a ritzy jet as Kim’s dad had an old college friend with an airline. I admit the episode weirdly downplays Kim’s penchant for getting rides, getting a helicopter that appears to be a touring one and getting this one via her dad instead of the usual person who owes her a favor. IT was a neat part of her character: that she got help from people she already helped on adventure’s we hadn’t seen to establish she can’t drive herself yet and to show she’s an experinced heroine with a lot of history before the show started. I also like how a handful of episodes after season 1 had returns from people we HAD seen before or linked to them, a clever way of having callbacks. 
It’s simple stuff Kim is ready for the wrold saving mision and ron hopes to get a vacation in. Nothing too out of the ordinary. 
So the next day Lilo tries to go it solo but is spotted before she can leave, while Pleakly has built a.. photo colloage of Kim’s face on the wall...
Tumblr media
... no wait i’m getting paid for this. Nevermind. 
It is funny as it is unsettling though and Kim arrives and Pleakly faints.. Ron also arrives doing fake kung fu moves. This episode gets ron about half right... they overdo it a bit on the shenanigans, but Will Freidle’s natural charm and talent mean that even standard ron bits coughed up by a cat onto a page and used for this script still work simply because he’s that good at delivery. 
We also get the who’s on first bit you all knew was coming as Kim asking what’s the Sitch confuses lilo and i’ts .. pretty funny. Again you could see it coming from a mile away, but Daveigh Chase and Christy Carlson Ramano really sell the hell out of it and we get a nice runner after of Kim misprouncing his name and trying NOT to say her usual catchphrase. 
She also gets filled in on the alien thing... and while she admits i’ts a lot to swallow, she also admits she’s seen weirder. And given this episode would, by airdate (ignoring the one for So the Drama as that aired before the last batch of season 3 episodes but continuity wise takes place between seasons 3 and 4), take place around the same time as the season 3 intended finale “Team Impossible”, by this point she’s seen vengeful fishteens mutated by a horrifying summer camp, a rogue gentecist who basis her crimes against nature on a beanie baby knockoff, magical monkey based kung fu, a magican egyptian amulet, killer robot’s resembling teenage girls, a body swap episode, a plan using a barcode to destroy the internet, an attack on canada, a giant poodle, a complicated time travel plot, a trucker with a mullet, her sidekick getting turned into a surprisingly competent supervillian, and draken’s plan to use his rap career to promote brainwashing shampoo. And that’s just a handful of the things I was reminded of on the episode list. So yeah, this isn’t THAT much of a stretch. Oh and lest you think Kim never encountered aliens the series finale was an alien invasion by aliens Draken had pissed off earlier in the season. Suprised Lilo didn’t you know have Stitch and the family army pitch in. Maybe Leory and Stitch was going on at the same time? 
Point is she’s in but goes with Pleakly in trying to keep Lilo out of it. And here’s yet another place the episode missteps: Kim’s REALLY patronizing to Lilo, treating her like she can’t do anything and later ignoring her advice when she brings up the current later, something that ends up getting Kim caught. The latter part especially bugs me since Kim normally listens to her clients pretty well, and had she doubted him could’ve at least asked Waid since she contacts him in the same scene. Speaking of which THAT’S why I feel her patronizing “not now kiddo” atittude dosen’t work: her spy master IS a child, her brothers have helped out multiple times, and the incident I mentioned from where she met her younger cousin who idolized her at an old west town was understandable: Her cousin was getting into dangerous stuff and throwing herself out there recklessly with no regards to her own saftey and impeding the mission with her well meant antics. Lilo.. knows who their looking for, knows the island well, and knows stitch’s weaknesses. And she goes from being annoyingly hostlile to kim to helpful, so it makes kim even more obnoxious for not accepting said help. It’s just.. draining as when this part of the plot ISN’T in play, Kim is fine. She’s her usual self.. not AS well written as the parent show, a bit too reliant on her catchphrases, but still not half bad and Christy Carlson Romanao, like Fredle helps paper over the weaker bits of the script.  She’s not even out of character in her actions, as she does have a tendency to think she knows everything or undereistmate people.. the problem is it’s written poorly enough she comes across as insufferable, and unlike the show, where she actually learned something here.. she just learns to work as a team? When she does on a regular basis with Wade and Ron? 
Tumblr media
It’s just so frustrating because they almost had it just right, but instead just had to try and put some half assed moral about teamwork in there. They broke from the formula of having an experiment of the week but they still just HAD to keep to their own formula. And look Kim Possible has it’s own formula.. but it used that to great effect, often using the episode’s plot to shake it up in fun ways, and the plots were still diffrent enough and the villians bold and intrestin genough that it didn’t grate.  This is starting to grate. And I do remember good and intresting episodes of the show.. but i’m starting tor ealize why I don’t remember NEARLY as much of Lilo and Stitch as I do the other shows it’s crossing over with: it’s so bolted to the formula they all just sorta blend together. It’s really fucking disheartning to realize something you loved so damn much as a kid just.. isn’t as good as you remember. And with these other shows.. I don’t have that as much. I accept proud family’s fault, Jake Long actually seems MORE intresting than it was at the time, and rewatching kim possible it’s excellent, same with recess coming up. I really need to watch more Recess. The most disheartining thing about this arc is the crossover just shows how BETTER the other shows were. Lilo and Stitch wasn’t a BAD show, and it isn’t here.. but it’s a mediroce one. it has a good premise. but it feels like they just don’t break away from the premise enough. This just... hurts a lot to type and realize. I really loved this show and movie as a kid and while the movie likely still holds up this.. this just dosen’t.

I need a moment... i’m breaking open the glass case containing my emergency patrick stewart clip excuse me...

That.. I needed that. 
So before the bicker sisters can head off, we get our goofy comedy subplot: Jumba thinks Rufus is one of his experiments, one that could destroy the universe if not cancel and is highly unstable. As for why this one wouldn’t of worked out, I get why: it’s TOO powerful. Stitch is a weapon of mass distruction in a cuddly package, but he’s also easily deployable, kind of like Wolverine if he was in the body of a cartoon mascot. Having the THREAT of destroying ap lanet is fine and good for the long term but it does you no good if you can’t control it and i’td just destroy you too. 
So he and Pleakly try to steal rufus without telling Ron why after Ron naturlaly refuses to sel land a chase insues. So while the boys and gender fluid person have their comedy plot, the girls head to where stitch was taken and find Draken’s glove.... they know it’s his because he put a note saying “return to dr. draken, his mother gave it to him”. That’s just.. fucking precious. And entirely in character. So kim aranges a ride, and dives into the ocean, but finds lilo in her parachute, and tries to send her back despite LIlo offering valuable advice both about the area , the current I mentioned earlier, and about stitch, i.e. Draken’s base is underwater (something Kim didn’t realize which feels odd for her), because Stitch can’t swim, something I genuinely forgot. 
Tumblr media
So while Kim sends Lilo back, or rather intercut with that but I choose to compress plots for my own convinence we cut back to Drakken and Shego. And I WAS worried that Shego wouldn’t show up, she wasn’t in the synopsis or anything and was delighted to find that nope she’s here. Drakken just isn’t the same without her.. I mean I liked the recurring subplot in season 4 where other villians would break her out, that was great, but in the end the two need each other. I may not ship them romantically but as a comedy team one just needs the other: Drakken needs Shego to cut down his ego and Shego needs someone to snark at and complain about. Sullivan and DiMaggio just had perfect chemistry and it’s easy to see why Drakken and Shego went from just another part of the Rogue’s Gallery to Kim’s arch enemies. 
Which is why I am sad Gantu and 625 don’t show up for this one. I mean I can buy it: Hamsterviel likely is doing this on the sly to see if he can find a better minon, but the two sets of villians have similar dynamics and i’d love to see Shego and 625 dunk on their bosses together. It’s a really big missed opportunity but I do get it as they may of just nto been able to fit the two together or it may of been hard to block a lot of scenes iwth the human sized drakken and the giant sized gantu. So unlike a lot of missed opportunites in the other episodes, this one I at least can understand. 
We get some GREAT banter with the two though. Out of the four guest characters in this one the crew really got Drakken and Shego down and the two bicker like any episode of Kim Possible, with Shego pointing out the massive bill on Stitch’s cage and how Drakken’s tried cloning about five times now and it’s never worked, and of course how he’s 50 50 splitting with a hamster bellow his station. Seriously why get rid of Gantu and 625 but keep the annoying rodent, I don’t get you episode. 
Of course while they quack quack bicker bicker Stitch escapes and Shego gives chase. Sadly we don’t get a fight between the two like we did with Jake, another missed opprotunity but Stitch getting out of her grasp by licking her is objectively funny. Stitch finds he’s underwater though and gets recaptured. 
Kim gets captured for the first time shortly after as the current caught her, but luckily she has kimunicator gloves and calls waid to call ron. Meanwhile Ron finally catches rufus back and Jumba explains the situation.. but Ron understandably dosen’t want to give up his buddy especially since Rufus has shown no signs of being a planet killer before. He’s not mooncake... althought i do think those two could hang. God now I just want a final space kim possible crossover to wash this out of my mouth. 
So it’s down to Lilo, the really not all that ambigiously gay their pretty darn gay duo, and Ron to save the day. Lilo finally gets to do what she kept asking kim to do: use jumbas hot rod car spaceship thing to go down under the sea, and they send Lilo and Rufus in since hteir small enough to get in and suriive the pressures. Our heroes arrive and Drakken is nonplussed.. only for Lilo to prove WHY she can keep an alien in line by freeing stitch from teh leash drakken has him on using kim’s grapple gun, and then frees kim. The good guys win and the bad guys loose and the base starts to self destruct.. eh they’ll be fine. They still have the movie to get to. 
So time for the wrap up: Stitch sniffs Rufus and confirms what the audience knew... that he’s a naked mole rat not an experiment. Which didn’t make sense to begin with for either show: Jumba’s archive should’ve been able to scan him or something (And if not he could build something to do that), and Kim Possible not only implied from day one Ron had Rufus a while, long before the rain of the pods, but A Stitch in Time outright confirms Ron bought him years ago in middle school. It just makes no sense and while it thankfully dosen’t take up a ton of the episode it still takes up too much. 
But with that our heroes prepare to part on good terms but Pleakly decides to celebrate with  Luau. Kim’s repsonse “Well I can do anything...”
Tumblr media
And we get a gratuitous luau sequence! I do love a job that allows me to type the phrase “Gratuitous Luau Sequence’ They clearly ran short and we just get a good minute of everyone doing hula dances for no reason. I mean.. you could’ve done a quick gag with the experiment who was mistaken for Rufus... who I now realize given the finale was befriended by someone. I’m headcanoning now Kim and Ron came back for that one and Kim had him sent to space as part of one her dad’s projects where he and earth would be safer and he could help with space missions or something. 
Final Thoughts: As you could tell I had mixed thoughts. As a crossover this melded things better, had a more original plot and the actors from Kim Possible brought their a-game.. but once again some disapointing characteteriztion and downright stupid decisions really let the episode down. These episodes just depress me every time and I’m looking forward to being done.. which given how excited I was going into this.. yeah. Like all of these despite their flaws I recommend checking it out if you like Kim Possible, if nothing else than for some extra drakken shego banter but.. keep your expectations low.
Next Time on Kim Possible: A team of spiteful assholes who are in a way repsonsible for Kim’s Career try to shut her down. It’s the intended finale episode outisde of hte movie people buckle up.. or you would if I was doing any of these. Though I should do “Team IMpossible” at some point. 
On the finale of these crossovers: The Recess Gang are the final visitors to Kuai as Lilo must find and stop a lazy monster... no i’m not guest starring too. 
Tommorow: Another kev one this time by patreon as I put two similar episodes of a show or franchise against each other and ask “Who Did It Better?” This time it’s two episodes of Celebrity Death Match, original versus revivial may the original.. probably win.
