What makes Futaba Sakura from Persona 5 the autistic girlie ever of all time? Here's what the people have to say:

Futaba-related asks/reblogs: x This post will be updated after each round!

Image ID in alt text and under the readmore.

[Image ID. White slide with a screenshot of Futaba in the bottom left corner. She is surrounded by text boxes which read,

"She’s a hikkikomori and a hacker genius. She initially has bad social anxiety due to trauma and does not leave her room."

"She's just like me fr fr (im autistic girlie)"

"Generally described as being incredibly introverted and socially anxious, however having no problem opening up if the conversation is about something that interests her. She also has a deep interest in hacking and computers (if the protagonist claims to have built his own PC, she asks for the specific details on it, such as GPU, CPU, RAM, ect.) There are more details I feel are autistic but I'm not sure how to word them !!"

"Talks in Video Game references and wired expressions. At one point she leaves a conversation because an Anime she wanted to watch was on. Helped me come to terms with my own Autism. Covered her face with a weird mask and a towel (separate events) because she didn't want to show her face in Public. Gets pissed off that someone messes with the her Neo Featherman Figure (basically the Persona equivalent of Power Rangers or Super Sentai). Overall just a massive nerd."

"First of all: The way she sits . little gremlin girl. Second of all. Social awkwardness (she has SO MUCH). Third. She's 15 years old and an international hacker, i mean come on, you cant DO THAt unless youre at least a little autistic. 4. Constantly tries to wear things over her head to avoid being looked at. Five. Her room is the dirtiest place on the planet, filled with snacks and figurines etc. Sixth. Look come on please shes autistic"

"She has social anxiety, doesn't really understand social norms and relates a lot of her real life experiences to video games. She also hyperfixates on the things she's working on and says a lot of strange things without thinking about it."

"Futaba is intensely afraid of social interaction (living in her room for years, unable to exit the house without a meltdown), including her almost constantly wearing headphones (which, to be, read as sensory comfort items). She's only really comfortable around her close friends and family, around who she becomes a lot more excitable and energetic. She has deep and passionate interests in the things she loves, and tends to become hyper focused on whatever shes tasked herself with, even neglecting her own health during which. It's very easy to equate her love of video games to a special interest, as it influences the way she sees the world, to the point where she calls the main character her "key item", since he helps her agoraphobia, saying she needs to "level up" to improve her social skills. To top it all off, her voice actress, Erica Lindbeck, has stated that she played Futaba as if she was autistic."

"Girl had so much autism stored in her body."

"It is very obvious in nearly everything she does that they intended for her to be autistic. Literally just watch almost any cutscene with her and you'll see it (well. Ideally after her palace is taken care of since she's going through stuff and the 'tism is less obvious as a result)"

"she is soooo autism girlswag coded. When you first befriend her and hang out, the characters all have trouble sort of connecting with her, but once they realize they are being way too obnoxiously formal/normal they start asking her about stuff she is interested in, which then she talks very excitedly about. Im sort of passively watching someone play persona 5 so i might have gotten something wrong but eee she is so coded to me <3 and not in a bad way imo ik sometimes things can be TOO stereotypical but yknow yknow"

"Struggles with social interactions, special interest in computers and video games, her English voice actor intentionally played her with the idea that she's autistic."

"She's obsessed with and so good with computers she was a world reknowned hacker before the story even began, she struggles with interacting with people and was bullied through out her entire childhood for being "weird" and being able to memorize books and other things. Her outfits almost always include her wearing headphones (which i personally hc to be to reduce sounds) and there are scenes where she experiences sensory overload that turns into panic attacks. A lot of her character arc is about how after a personal tragedy she completely isolated herself from the outside world and now shes trying to ease back into interacting with people with the support of her family and new friends. When trying to connect with her, the quickest way they got her to relax and open up was when one character got her talking about an in universe sentai show she loves. Also her English voice actor said in interviews that she performed Futaba with her being autistic in mind because everything abt her character just reads as autistic and seeing someone struggle w the same issues I did was super important to me when i got into p5."

"Futaba is incredibly autistic-coded. She couldn’t leave her room or speak to strangers due to trauma, but she also was “quirky” before the trauma. She’s a computer genius and can get so obsessed with her work that she doesn’t hear or acknowledge other people. She wears headphones almost all the time and sits with her knees up (odd posture). Lastly, her mother was known to also be “odd” and was also very absorbed in her work. Autism is often inherited, so my personal read is that both of them are autistic. I’m missing lots of things I’m sure but she’s the best."

"All of her interests are special <3, major social anxiety, partially nonverbal (just like me fr), one of the only people she's constantly jokingly mean to is also very autistic coded which idk if that's a me experience but i can only be joke mean to other autistic people. allistics wouldn't understand. She cannot sit properly!!! Very important she has that autistic ball sitting position"

"She’s a genius hacker nerd who up until certain events in the game never left her room or her house due to trauma. She’s gets nervous and overwhelmed very easily once she starts expanding her comfort zone, but she doesn’t let that stop her. At certain points when she has to interact with people she isn’t comfortable with she puts on a disturbing doll head mask. At one point she has a miniature meltdown in the middle of a crowded store, because she tried pushing her boundaries a little too fast and got overwhelmed until the protagonist was able to find her. She loves anime and collects figurines and gets annoyed when her display of them is messed with. Her personality is socially awkward and kind of bratty when she’s comfortable and I don’t mean that in a negative way at all, she’s great!"

"very bad with people, obsessed with programing and Nerd Shit, i love her and she is very cool"

"she has a massive special interest in technology, her entire character arc is helping her learn to socialize, she sits like a GREMLIN"

"she is a epic hacker gamer girl so we are within the margins for trans and autism, she has a hard time with eye contact, she has intense social anxiety and wahooooooo she has the special interests !! on a side note she has chronic fatigue so damn just like me fr!! and shes so fun!! ack!!!"

hello i saw you talking a bit in the tags of the cane post you reblogged from me hehe, you mentioned you might make a longer post about the use of canes for balance, figured id send an ask so if u wanted u could put that in the answer. im really interested to learn more about it — im currently writing a character who uses a cane for balance reasons and i might have to use one someday since i live somewhere that gets gotdamn icy in the winter, so im interested to hear how best practices differ from using a cane for injury/pain

hi ! very happy to infodump about (my) cane usage, after this post. i'm adding this one which has incredible advice on tons of mobility aids. prefacing this with "ymmv, varied sources help because everyone does different things", as usual ^^

cane usage can be about distance or span of time you need to walk / stand up. this depends on why you need the cane and if certain situations trigger it more

for me, walking is better than standing up still, because i'm not weighing down on any body part long enough to cause pain. leaning on the cane hurts even if i switch hands regularly. crutches (especially forearm crutches) are more efficient, but not indefinitely

for long visits and similarly tiring activities (lots of still time + starting / stopping movement), a wheelchair is way more useful. otherwise the heterogeneity of the movement will hurt in itself

canes are a huge help with footing if the terrain slopes, gets uneven or is a little unpredictable. however if the terrain is muddy, extremely crumbly / cracked, or slippery, you may need tip attachments to make the grip better

you need more space to move around, and have to be careful not to knock into people / objects when you move and turn, but poor spatial awareness or muscle control will mean you still bump into things frequently

i lean on everything if i'm inside and don't have my cane ready, if i need something stable which doesn't depend on my ability to hold it, or if my legs / arms are giving out

the rubber tip reduces the aftershock of the stick slamming into the ground, especially if you have trouble measuring your strength. else, the tapping will genuinely hurt your arm + shoulder and also everyone in a five mile radius will hear you walking around

the handle needs to fit your hand (larger hand = larger handle etc). there's slide-on handles to help reduce the strain if closing your hand tight hurts. ataxia / tremors can make you drop your cane or clutch it even tighter and needs to be accounted for (softer grip, wrist strap)

any new mobility device is gonna hurt in the beginning as your nerves get used to constant pressure in a new shape. this was worse for my crutch than for my cane, possibly because the crutch came first. wheelchairs hurt in unexpected ways but i have less experience

when you stop using the cane, your hand can hurt from the sudden change in pressure on your nerve, and the rest of your body too as the limbs readjust. if you have paresthesia (clinical "pins and needles" basically), holding the cane can make it worse. i don't know how orthotics would interact with that

misc

foldable canes are very good because they can fit in your bag, instead of falling over or stabbing you in the chest when the vehicle suddenly stops. it also means you don't forget them if you have to leave quick and you're distracted

me holding my beloved foldable cane and showing the opening swoop (my favourite part). ID in alt text

using a cane slows you down... usually. the energy of a character will still affect their speed. i have always walked like a maniac which means i clack-clack my way along, out of breath + tired at the end. i can't run anymore though, so catching up with / escaping someone ranges from difficult to impossible

hidden features of the cane would work best if they don't impede its use (no additional weight, no need to take it apart / off the ground): storage of data, small items like needles, something that incorporates the tapping of the cane or its material...

stairs are difficult. how i do it is put cane two steps above me, and repeat every time i reach that step (less arm movements, easier on my shoulder). i have read vastly different methods, so my takeaway is everyone has their rhythm and the amount of training to find what works / focus implementing it will vary. brain fog, emotional deregulation and physical pain set you back

#palant1r #olorea answers #if you have any questions on sth i didn't expand on don't hesitate !!#this still got very very long and the Tired might make this incoherent... typical haz behaviour. it will happen again #writing ref #disabled writer #txt #img #vid

HS^2 bloggin’ upd8 2020-01-17

Alright, morningblogging yesterday’s 2020-01-17 upd8 to Homestuck^2 let’s go! Spoiler-free again. I kinda don’t want even the next chapter names image-spoiled above the cut anymore so I’m going to have to figure out WHAT to put above the cut in these liveblog posts for visual reinforcement... a unique silly icon? Going back once I’m done with the upd8 and posting something non-spoilery but weird-looking out of context?

Eh, can’t be assed. Just know that after this I’m going to pony up for the Patreon commentary and skim it for anything plot-useful to y’all (in a separate post). Let’s get started.

Okay, what’s next: Any bonuses? Oh, none! Phew. Unless those are coming faster too and just staggered differently, which would mean I gotta overcome my irrational pre-Homestuck-reading anxiety even MORE often. :T

No Homestuck you don’t GET to ask how my-- ah, right. :P

(FYI, HS^2 has been good to my emotions so far, quite a balm for the epilogues, so once I START reading I’m usually fine; but after being hurt so badly how could I possibly convince my lizard brain to trust it until it’s right in front of me? Seriously, just hearing that the upd8 has landed messes me up a bit until I come fix it by reading w/ y’all here.)

Okay, so whose feelings? As much as I’ve been waiting for Jade, I hope this isn’t about Jade.

> ==>

Ah fuck, we’re finally with the Pursuit Crew. Bracing myself. That means we get to see probably sleeping Jade ( :C ), full-swing DaveKat (approving nod), the first canon onscreen look at masculine-mode Roxy (<3), a probably pretty pissed off Kanaya (possibly either the feelings target, the one Saying How Are Your Feelings, or both), and uh... did they drag Callie along? Or leave her back there with her meta freakout? Probably left her back there, but... hm.

Let me turn up the brightness on this screen to sear these next pages into my retinas. (Also, it feels odd to still be using a four-person “==>” for these, although if Jade is still asleep the numbers might fit on both ends... :c )

> ==>

I don’t think Dad is in the spacefaring business, so this is probably one of Jake’s shittier spaceship designs.

> ==>

...well that’s a touch disturbing. Is that a Jade-occupied bed or are those just pillows?

Oh what the fresh fanfic’y heck is this command.

> i enter.

Okay that’s great. I got a kick out of that.

JADE [in calliope red]: the prince’s power grows.

--but that’s not. That explains the narrative command text, it’s alt!callie talking through a still conked-out Jade. Please let her wake up between speak-throughs, please tell me you’ve learned that trick?? I already know you’re gonna pull an “oh she was asleep pretty much all of those THREE YEARS OF TRAVEL” thing on me and that’s hard fucking enough to deal with.

KARKAT: JESUS CHRIST!

He’s actually using the full curse correctly, huh?

...These commands. Guess part of the puzzle is how much alt!Callie is being typically morbid and how much she might actually be wising up enough to get a kick out of this.

> the knight of blood falls.

DAVE: dude can you chill for like even a single fucking second DAVE: also are you ok

Has CallieJade chilled for even a single second this entire trip?? Is he asking just if Karkat’s okay or Jade too???

--yeah I’m overblowing things out of nervousness. Just wait and see a bit, boots.

Alt!Callie has at least learned to be more of a smartass:

> karkat is characteristically appreciative of the alarm call.

Shirt trade Karkat, nice. And uh, Jade’s dress sure is a... dress. Hm.

(Did alt!Callie alchemize adjustments to did she just luck out to have a red-symbol’d Bec belt and accent leggings? I’d prefer the former, because as much as it would be acceptable within Homestuck proper, using the transition between the epilogues and this new-author’d work to just HAPPEN to give her a fitting outfit without an excuse via providence is kind of lazy.)

KARKAT: OH, PARDON THE FUCK OUT OF ME FOR OVERREACTING A LITTLE WHEN MY GOOD FRIEND "POSSESSED JADE" BUSTS INTO MY RESPITEBLOCK AT 5 AM! KARKAT: NEXT TIME I’LL JUST PULL THE COVERS BACK AND LET HER CLIMB IN! JADE: i am uninterested in that scenario. KARKAT: GREAT! POSSESSED JADE ISN’T EVEN HORNY! HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?

...please let that mean he’s not used to her being possessed all the time and she wakes up sometimes. PLEASE.

DAVE: but im pretty sure i locked that door JADE: i unlocked it with my mind. DAVE: fuck KARKAT: FANTASTIC. JADE: the prince’s powers are growing, but so are mine.

Dave, I’m pretty sure regular-ass no-Green-Sun Space powers can flip a few lock tumblers too. (--though, I guess from context this was a Jakeship technolock. Confirmation on the ship’s bad taste in design. --I think I’m foggily remembering it said in the Epilogues that they took one of Jake’s ships just like Dirk did, too... man, being depressed so much by the Epilogues sure took a lot out of my ability to recall them decently.)

KARKAT: LIKE YOU DON’T FLOAT AROUND LIKE A CREEPY PIECE OF SHIT ALL DAY AS IT IS?

God DAMN IT she’s been asleep and possessed the whole fucking time.

> sleep is abandoned, coffee sought.

More obligatory DaveKat being cute, somehow only emphasized by the embarrassing glowing-with-power observer who doesn’t really get any of it.

Ah, here we go:

> the rogue is also awake.

Oh huh. Cool!

Hero outfit, understated... her his choice of heart-shades color-coded to stand out from Dave more to avoid further mistaken identity cases. Works well! (Holy shit I only JUST remembered at the end to go back and correctly gender Roxy as him, that was close. I blame the epilogues for a lack of visual reinforcement; I shouldn’t have as much trouble soon enough. Seriously, I don’t remember ANYTHING without visual reinforcement, I think that’s why I remember so much of Homestuck proper so clearly.)

KARKAT: OH SHIT, THERE SHE IS! I DIDN’T EVEN HEAR HER FOLLOW US! ROXY: sometimes a girls just got to get her drift on i guess ROXY: it be like that

ilu roxy.

I missed Roxy so much, you guys. I need more of him remarking on all this crazy shit if I’m gonna stay sane though all this. (And I need more of him and AWAKE JADE kicking ass independently or together if I’m going to continue to believe there’s justice in the world.)

> ==>

We rarely saw Rose drinking anything but the rare coffee in canon, but I think Kanaya would have gotten her plenty into tea, yes. Or at the very least, wanting the aesthetic of drinking tea with Kanaya would have gotten Rose into tea even if it never crossed Kanaya’s mind to try the stuff.

ROXY: well i mean who knows what she drinks now ROXY: dirk probs tossed the coffee machine out the space window right away ROXY: dude doesnt "believe" in "substances" > the prince is contemplated for a moment in silence.

FUCK, Dirk can see the narrative all the way out here??? No wonder alt!Callie’s forced to have possession turned on 24/7. That’s fucking disappointing. How the hell are we going to get any proper Jade time with THAT hanging over our heads? She’d only be able to do anything when Dirk’s knocked out, and maybe not even THEN!

I was virtually promised more of actual non-asleep Jade getting shit done in HS^2. Now there’s an even longer wait on it than I expected. This sucks.

(EDIT: BOY did I misread that link line. Thinking “is contemplated” meant is sitting contemplating, when it meant "is being contemplated by everyone here". That was dumb of me.)

*clicks that next link*

Oh my goodness, Roxy joined the Bird Hair Crew. It makes him look like a fucking asshole but I kind of love it.

KARKAT: IS THERE MILK?

I can’t believe Karkat is okay with drinking milk. --yes, culturally Trolls are more comfortable with animal excretions than we are, but you would’ve thought years of railing against Equius would have purged any tolerance the idea of milk from his psyche.

I guess Dave introduced him to cereal, and it was all over from there.

DAVE: this is more like a castle DAVE: a castle of idk DAVE: twenty something ennui

Sounds like a relatable mood. Especially considering Dirk probably decided to conquer reality out of almost nothing but twenty-something ennui.

Alright. You aren’t going to turn Kanaya into an alcoholic or anything on us are you?

> the knight of time seeks a sylph...

--this is the shittiest shipboard starship aesthetic.

> ...and finds her, momentarily.

WOW that looks fucking depressed. :(

> ==>

...okay you know what? Never mind. That outfit has wrapped straight back around into Trying Too Hard and is now hilarious.

DAVE: you ever feel like our whole lives are eventually gonna end up like this DAVE: just blasting through space on a sweeps long journey to ""somewhere"" chasing after or running from some vague enemy thats sometimes a god modded pet dog and sometimes your dad DAVE: without the faintest fucking idea of whats going to happen when we get there DAVE: thats a little specific but you know what i mean

Why do you think the epilogues upset us so much? We thought we’d won free of that bullshit.

> ==>

Oh jesus christ that’s the most depressingly sad I’ve ever seen Kanaya drawn. :C

--Karkat got you to watch Serendipity? That’s amazing, Dave.

KANAYA: You Arent Reminding Me Of Her As I Rarely Think Of Anything Else KANAYA: I Close My Eyes And I See Her KANAYA: I Keep Them Open And I See Her

Fuck.

Y’know how little showing these two in love and actually HAPPY together we’ve seen in this entire comic and its subworks? Despite them having spent at least a few happy years together we only saw in tiny screenclips? And how Candy alluded super hard that they most likely couldn’t get that in this real timeline where shit’s going down?

Seriously, FUCK. You could at least pretend to give us some hope, here.

Oh no, don’t ask for the nursery story, Dave. Unless it turns out to be a funny one or a Rose twist on an old story or something. Which it probably is, I should stop worrying.

> ==>

KANAYA: Oh Its A Wriggler Story About A Young Prince And The Beloved Flower He Loved And Lost DAVE: flower DAVE: like a plant KANAYA: Its A Fairytale Dave DAVE: right KANAYA: A Singular Wild Rose He Failed To Cherish When He Had Her KANAYA: And His Journey Of Discovering What She Meant To Him All Along KANAYA: Culminating In A New Quest To Find Her And Win Her Back

Dirk you PIECE OF SHIT did you rewrite the narrative of the fucking STORIES SHE TOLD CHILDREN?!?? Does the fact that alt!Callie is only in the present mean he can rewrite ANY past event we didn’t literally SEE??? FUCK you. Seriously fuck all of this.

Please tell me she was kidding just then, or realizes there’s fucking something wrong with what she’s saying and getting angry or.

(EDIT: shoutyourporpoise replied: "Hey, idk If you picked up on this, but the 'nursery story' Rose told to the wigglers is just The Little Prince, which is maybe a BIT early for them to read, but I don't think that's a case of Dirk changing the narrative; its just Rose being Too Adult as usual." Oh, damn, I didn't even CATCH that it was that story. That makes all of this a lot more forgivable, even if pretty unforgivably leaning into the fiction that Dirk used to brainwash and kidnap her. Maybe that's exactly why it worked -- fiction, a story so blazed into the public consciousness? Hm. Thanks, shoutyourporpoise.)

KANAYA: But In A Way I Feel As If It Is the Greater Universe Trying To Tell Me Something

Mother fuck I’m even going to have to see our protagonists warped by Dirk when they’re ostensibly FULLY SHIELDED aren’t I. There’s only so much of that I would be able to take, you know.

KANAYA: It May Simply Stem From My Longing To See Her Again And How Much Is Indicative Of Something More Sinister KANAYA: She Is A Goddess Of Light And The Only Of Her Kind We Know Is Alive After All KANAYA: Maybe Shes Wrested Dominion Of The Entire Concept In All Its Appearances Within This Frame Of Reference

Hm. Well, it being a product of Rose’s ascension instead of Dirk’s is possibly a more charitable take, with Ultimate Rose projecting the delusion enforced on her backward, visible to past Rose’s Sight when she isn’t paying attention and thus paving the way for Dirk to paradoxically exploit that “ideal” as something Lighty and Important and “Perfect”. I still don’t fucking like it though.

> ==>

DAVE: sorry i know you say you got your badass monster powers but kanaya you look tired as hell DAVE: not that im tryna psyche you or whatever but youre waxing poetic in the dark which i guess is maybe on brand but still

Yyyep.

DAVE: unless terezi is lurking in the vents somewhere and now that i bring that up its actually not out of the question so im kind of gonna be thinking about that one for a while

Pffff.

DAVE: youre the only person i know whos still basically the same as when i met you

--Which is kind of going to have to change, right? She’s got some other cosmic purpose ready to change her a little more than she changed pre-human-troll-meetup, you’d think.

> ==>

Cute as hell.

> ==>

KANAYA: How Are Your Feelings

There’s the title drop. I’d think Dave’s doing pretty well, considering? Still fucked over by Dirk betraying and tricking Rose away who he’s been close with all his life, but.

> ==>

DAVE: except sometimes your best friend disappears and your other best friend goes into a ghost coma and your third best friend fucks off to space with your dad DAVE: the dude youve spent the last 7 years convincing yourself isnt an egomaniacal anime villain DAVE: and who isnt actually lying in wait to completely decimate your life and your emotions and shit

Ah... yeah. A little worse than my casual list, huh? Forgot that Jade vanishing into a possession-coma for THREE FUCKING YEARS is going to be hard on people inside the comic too, fuck.

DAVE: maybe it was naive to think that a bunch of twenty something trauma victims could run a society

I was honestly surprised they TRIED to run society at all. Jasp even just highlighted a big reason why not in the bonuses.

DAVE: cool how earth c existed for centuries then we show up and manage to ruin society in seven fucking years

Well, the trolls got THEIR lesson on why they didn’t deserve to rule over their new universe like gods; I guess some of y’all needed that lesson too?

DAVE: every serious conversation i have inevitably falls apart into riffing on a casual acquaintances ass

True.

Dammit, Dave didn’t feel like he could just be Some Guy even on Earth C. :(

> ==>

...don’t think I’ve forgotten that nursery story, though. I don’t want to think that it was something that ACTUALLY past happened, especially not without manipulation. Like maybe past Rose was foreseeing the false purpose that Dirk wrote for her or the like, a cooperative misunderstanding between the two instead of Dirk or Rose literally reaching back in time.

> meanwhile...

KARKAT: WAIT, WHY THE FUCK AM I EVEN ASKING? HE’S OBVIOUSLY NOT FINE. KARKAT: ARE ANY OF US? ARE YOU? ROXY: not rly KARKAT: EXACTLY.

--Oh right. I remember that Callie and Roxy were going reasonably steady in Meat even though it was only alluded to, she didn’t freak out and stay awol or what have you. That’s good to remember. But it means Roxy deliberately left her behind to go on this dangerous quest, for years. :C

KARKAT: KANAYA BARELY EVEN TALKS, CALLIOPE WON’T LEAVE THEIR CABIN, JADE JUST FLOATS AROUND LIKE A CREEPY BALLOON THAT’S MOSTLY MADE OF HAIR.

Oh, SHIT. I should have read one line further. They DID bring her. Alt!Callie being here too must really FUCK with her. ...maybe she can actually learn to accept that alternate way her life might’ve played out, though?

KARKAT: THE REALLY FUCKED UP THING IS I MIGHT BE THE MOST OKAY OUT OF ALL OF US, WHICH IS HOW YOU KNOW SHIT HAS REALLY GONE GLOBES UP.

Quite true.

ROXY: ur kinda an intense dude anybody ever tell u that KARKAT: NO.

Pff.

> ==>

KARKAT: AGAINST PRETTY MUCH ALL ODDS, AND DESPITE ME NOT DESERVING ANY OF IT, I ENDED UP GETTING PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I WANTED. KARKAT: OVER AND OVER AGAIN. KARKAT: SOMETIMES IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE WHATEVER SLATHERING MONSTROSITY OF A COSMIC HELLBEAST THAT PUT ALL THIS SHIT INTO MOTION...ACTUALLY LIKES ME?

Well, if you want to blame Lord English for instance... we never saw Caliborn and Karkat interact much, but the parallels between the two were drawn so severely that Caliborn was basically the idealized, multiverse-threatening Ultimate Kismesis that he’d always dreamed of. And operated against him without him even ever quite realizing it.

If a level of “respect” went from Caliborn to Karkat, too, from his Lord-Englishy vision nigh-omnipresent, then this outcome isn’t very surprising at all.

> ==>

(I don’t quite feel I get why Roxy shifted to this exasperated-Dave expression, but I get logically that he’d been waiting for Karkat to make a breakfast choice... Homestuck proper rarely pulled a “last line said corresponds to next-panel’s expression” without either leaving the conversation blank or having the NEXT lines of the conversation reinforce it, to prevent this inelegant misunderstanding. Andrew was really damned talented in getting his point across visually, in that regard. Just like, that careful visual intent delivery.)

Alright, I guess that’s it for this short upd8! Meeting the pursuit crew was both more and less difficult than I expected. Hopefully I get desensitized a bit as the characters continue to feel semi-almost-sorta-fine.

I have NO idea how this group is gonna work as a proper crew when we get to whatever weird other-players’ session this shit is going down in, though.

Why You Rank On Google But Not On Bing And Yahoo (And How to Fix It)

You know Google has become a household brand when you can Google the term and learn that it’s now a verb meaning “to utilize the Google search to get information about something.”

Google is without a doubt the most popular search engine. They’ve increased their market share by 10% in the last year, giving them a staggering 77 percent overall market share in the search engine game. What role does Bing/Yahoo play in this scenario? They together control around 18 percent of the search engine market, which isn’t much, but it’s also not insignificant.

Let’s talk about why you can be ranking well on Google but not on Bing or Yahoo, and what you can do about it. But first, let’s see if it’s really worth your time to bother about Bing/Yahoo SEO.

Is It Worth The Trouble?

The first thing we need to figure out is who uses Bing or Yahoo in the first place. Who do you think prefers them to Google, and why? (By the way, Yahoo search is powered by Bing, although their SERPs aren’t necessarily identical.) Peculiar.)

According to some sources, Microsoft workers make up a sizable portion of the Bing user base. Some claim it’s because of the elderly and those who aren’t as tech-savvy, which makes sense. Because most Bing searches are conducted through Internet Explorer, which is the default browser on Windows devices, and where Bing is set as the default search engine, it’s possible that older and less technologically minded people are just using Bing because it exists.

Surprisingly, some people actually choose Bing as their preferred search engine: coders, students, and people who rely on international maps function all prefer Bing for various reasons.

We’ve also got our folks using intelligent personal assistant Cortana to perform searches with Bing. So in short, we’ve got our:

Elderly folks

Non-tech-savvy folks

Programmers/other special features users

Cortana users.

And for Yahoo’s part, we’ve got a lot of folks who:

already use Yahoo mail (and so use Yahoo search as their default) or one of Yahoo’s other popular services like Yahoo Answers, Fantasy, Shopping, IM, Finance, News, etc.; or

prefer the security implications of using the little guy.

While current stats on the “Rise of Bing” and increased Bing market share are contradictory and difficult to confirm, there is a buzz in the air suggesting Bing use is on the rise. There’s similar talk in the rumor mills about Yahoo, too. So even if your target markets don’t line up with the demographics listed in the bullets above, you might not want to write off customizing SEO for Bing and Yahoo completely.

And if you do market and sell to any of the demographics above, you’ll definitely want to keep on reading.

Where Google And Bing/Yahoo Differ

They’re all pretty much the same. They even have the same appearance. (It appears that Yahoo and Bing have no qualms with nearly duplicating Google’s SERP site design.)

Obviously, the methods they employ to rank search results differ — as you’ve undoubtedly figured out if your position on all of the SERPs doesn’t line up.

Content-Type

Bing/Yahoo algorithms adore text (and rely on it for crawling visual material via alt descriptions and captions); Google’s algorithms favor visual stuff.

This is especially true for Flash content: whereas Google and even Adobe are phasing down Flash support, Bing appears to be stuck in the past, favoring (and even rewarding) Flash-based websites.

Keywords

Bing/Yahoo requires direct keywords and allows for greater wiggle space and less direct, context-based keywords As we do here at serpsol technologies; Google is more sensitive to keyword stuffing.

Social Signals

Bing appears to value websites that are discussed or active in social media more than others. For instance, when you search for a firm on Bing, you may see if a Facebook friend or a Twitter follower has mentioned or suggested the company or product.

Page Authority is a metric that measures how authoritative

High authority domains, such as those ending in.edu and.gov, are rewarded by both Google and Bing’s algorithms, although Bing is more concerned with domain age than Google. Bing SERPs will give older domains a little advantage.

Double Meaningful Search Terms

If a single search word might indicate two different things, Google will generally show the more popular website linked with the term first. When there are several interpretations, Bing prioritizes local results.

Search engine optimization in your area

Bing appears to be the small business king, with more local firms included in its SERPs. Google favors larger, more established companies, most likely because its algorithms regard them as more “trustworthy” search results.

How to Make All Three Work For You

Consistently creating really helpful and entertaining content for your visitors is the one thing you can do to ensure that you rank for all three search engines. That’s one thing Google, Bing, and Yahoo all agree on: while their methods for grading and ranking websites on SERPs differ, the bottom line is that they all want to reward the top sites for being the most useful to users.

It’s difficult to tell if there’s a single thing you can do to help you with all three search engines, especially now that we know how different their algorithms are. There are, however, a few things you can do to improve your overall SERP rating.

1. Content And Keywords

Text is preferred by Google, but rich material is preferred by Bing. Bing requires straight keywords, however, Google may deal with context keywords. So, what’s a search engine optimizer to do?

Of course, include elements of both tactics. The beautiful thing about the variations in search algorithms between Google and Bing/Yahoo is that most of the criteria aren’t mutually exclusive. You can have a lot of good text-based material and a lot of rich multimedia at the same time. As long as you’re not keyword stuffing, you may use both indirect and direct keywords.

So that’s what you should do: make sure your site has both text content and rich material with direct keywords.

2. Backlinks And Social Media

Bing prefers quality over quantity when it comes to backlinks. All you can do now is make sure you’re getting as many quality backlinks as possible. The more backlinks you get from reputable and well-ranked websites, the higher you’ll rise in the Bing and Google SERPs.

The same is true for social media: all you can do is improve your overall social media skills. Encourage social sharing by including social sharing buttons on all of your websites and blog articles, and consider launching a social media campaign to encourage people to share your content and speak about you on social media. The good news is that you can focus on making progress with Bing on this one; Google isn’t going to penalize you for having a stronger social network presence!

3. Use Bing Webmaster Tools And Keep Up With The Bing Webmaster Blog

SEO Reports and the SEO Analyzer tool from Bing Webmaster Tools are an SEOer’s greatest buddy for SEO feedback straight from the search engine. With these tools, you’ll be able to scan specific pages on demand, track your progress, and stay informed about changes to Bing algorithms that may affect your site.

Create A Bing Site

This is the choice for you if you have more time than money and want to rank organically.

It’s the most time-consuming way to improve your Bing rating, but if Bing links you with a valuable enough target market, it could be worth it. A Bing-optimized site would place a greater emphasis on multimedia-rich content and employ more short, direct keywords. (Be careful not to use duplicate material; this will affect your overall search engine rating.)

Run A Bing/yahoo Ad Campaign

Try conducting a Bing ad campaign on the Bing/Yahoo ad network if you have more money than time and want a safer, faster approach to rank on Bing or Yahoo. (Some even claim that Bing Ads outperforms Google AdWords!)

And because Bing/Yahoo aren’t clogged with SEO ers vying for first place, running an ad campaign on Bing is far less expensive! It won’t be organic, but it’ll get the job done considerably faster and for a lot less money, because you won’t be wasting man-hours figuring out how to climb the Bing SERPs while keeping your Google ranking.

You Really Can Have It All

If you think it’s worth it, all you have to do is put in a little extra elbow grease to transform your site into tasty crawler food for both Google and Bing/Yahoo bots.

That’s definitely my first recommendation: get your content, keywords, backlinks, and social media strategies polished up. If you’re still not where you’d like to be on the little guy SERPs, I definitely recommend looking into Bing/Yahoo ads — the safest way to rank without sabotaging your spot on Google SERPs.

BMC Miraculous Ladybug AU RP Thing: Into Another World

An RP related to the BMC Miraculous Ladybug AU ( @pika-ace ) and it’s one of the specials where our main seven meet an alternate version of the Miraculous Armada!

(The main sever stir after being sucked into the portal) Leo: Ow.....

Cyber: Everyone alright?

Hound: Yeah.....i guess?

Dasher: Yeah...but it looks like that akuma sent us...nowhere, cause this looks like the place we started

Leo: Yeah...

(They look around, seeming to be in New Jersey) Owl: Something...doesn't feel quite right...

Swan: How? :/c Timber: Everything feels the same to me...

Owl: I can't quite explain it...this...isn't the universe I know...

Owl: I just.....have this strange feeling.....that something or someone is present in this world.....that wasn’t from our universe.... (Meanwhile in an apartment, the alternate Joe is passed out on his desk, papers of drafts for songs laying all around) (Then he jerks awake when his phone vibrated)

Alt Joe: Wha...? *looks at his phone*

(It was a text from Alternate Eric) Alt Eric: *text* Everyone, please come to our usual spot immediately, we;ll explain later.

Alt Joe: *frowns* What on earth could have happened to need everyone?

(Later on, Alternate Owl, Swan, Timber, Coral, Natura, and Tiger, all meet up with Alternate Cyber and Leo on a rooftop) Alt Coral: What's going on Eel Dad and Lion Bro?

Alt Leo: This may sound cheesy, but we've felt a disturbance in the force. (Alt Cyber sighs)

Alt Leo: Whaaat?? >:/ Alt Cyber: *sighs* Indeed, some presence from another world has appeared in ours.

Alt Cyber: We called you all here to be on guard; we have no idea if this is an akuma or something bigger

Alt Leo: Yeah, cause if WE'RE feeling something's off, then SOMETHING'S off! >:(

Alt Tiger: So what do we do if we find this *makes air quotes* disturbance?

Alt Leo: If it's an akuma, we fight it, of course. But if it's something else, umm......we fight it, i think.....or investigate it! :/ Alt Natura: Ya know, for an immortal guardian, you KINDA act like this is your first time being a Miraculous Holder. -_-'

Alt Leo: Shut up! Alt Cyber: And also, let us and the others know where they are; something tells me that we may all need to be here for this, and I'm not taking any chances

Alt Timber: Sure! I won't mind an all armada beat down against this thing! >:3

Alt Swan: Yeah...hopefully it's nothing too big though...

(Meanwhile with the main seven, they wonder around the alternate version of New Jersey)

Owl: This just feels so bizarre...it's the same and yet...so very different

Cyber: Yeah...

(They keep wondering around the city until Cyber spots some figures jumping through rooftops)

Cyber: Did you see that? Dasher: See what? Leo: I saw it!

Dasher: Saw what?! (Leo points to the figures jumping around the rooftops) Dasher: Oooooh! Now i see it!

Hound: Do we follow?

Cyber: I guess?

Swan: What could happen? (They leap up after them)

(Meanwhile with the alternate Holders, they leap through the rooftops, looking for anything that could be the source to that disturbance)

Alt Tiger: What kinda thing do you think it'll be this time Fawn?

Alt Natura: Considering how Cyber wanted the ENTIRE armada to beat down this THING, i'm gonna say either a REALLY powerful akuma or maybe some kind of being from another universe came to ours!

Alt Tiger: Oooh that's something I can get behind! >:3

Alt Natura: Me too, cause i'm excited to show them *serious persona* thy wrath of nature's goddess! >:) Alt Timber: Ugh, you and your little persona thing... -_-

(Just then, Leo stops, his ears twitching)

Alt Cyber: What is it?

Alt Leo: I hear something...

(His ears perk up, listening to whatever sound he hears)

Alt Leo: Uhhh... Alt Cyber: What? Alt Leo: This is weird, cause I hear...us..over there... *points behind them*

(The alternate Holders turn around and look behind them)

(The real holders stop and stare at the new group with wide eyes) Leo: ...Well...this is new...

Alt Timber: Who....the fuck....are they...?!

Timber: We could ask you the same thing!

Alt Natura: Is it wrong that i find the dude in that Weasel suit adorable? 0_0

Hound: *blinks at alt Tiger and Natura* Hold the fuck up...Jane?! Kirsty?! Is that you?!

Alt Natura: *eyes widened* H-How the fuck did he know our true identities?!

Alt Tiger: Does this mean we have to kill them?! Leo: You sounded WAY too eager about that, and WHEN the HELL were you two Miraculous Holders?!

Alt Natura: Umm.....for a long time now, i lost count on the exact numbers. :/ Swan: *blinks at alt Timber* Wait....B-Brother?!

(Alt Timber blinks and glances between the two Swans) Alt Timber: Okay, I am VERY confused!

Alt Coral: We're ALL confused Wolfman! XS

Dasher: Ahh! Coral's a dude! What happened?! Alt Cyber: This is a bigger disturbance than we thought...

janethepegasus Alt Coral: Hey! Don't judge me and my swim suit costume! Ya Lin Manuel-wannabe! >:(

Dasher: *softly* Funny you should say that... Hound: Dasher, no! Alt Leo: *blinks* The Weasel Miraculous?! We didn't give that one to anyone, did we?! Alt Cyber: No, same with the Dog Miraculous.

Alt Owl: *looks at Owl* W-Why is there copy of me?! 0~0

Owl: I KNEW there was something different about this place...

Alt Leo and Leo: You did?! (Both Leos look at each other) Leo: Hey! I was gonna say that!

Alt Leo: Well duh, I was gonna say it! Cyber: Leo, please...

Alt Cyber: Leo, please stop... -_- Alt Leo: Whaaaat?! He started it! >:(

Cyber: This whole situation is already enough of a migraine waiting to happen, we don't need either of you making it worse

(Both Leos pout) Alt Leo and Leo: FINE

Owl: Anyway, my children, I believe we've stumbled upon some kind of alternate universe of sorts

Hound: *sarcasm* Oh, what gave you THAT idea?!

Owl: Don't you take that tone with me, young man! >:( Timber: Hound, be nice to Owl Dad.

(Hound rolls his eyes)

Alt Cyber: I certainly hope I'm right in assuming that you aren't here to cause any malice in this city.

Owl: We're not. We wouldn't do any sort of harm to anyone in this city.

Alt Cyber: Good, then maybe once we straighten all this out we can find the cause of...all this.

Leo: All of what?

Alt Leo: You being here and that disturbance in the universe we felt

Owl: *eyes widened* W-What....?

Hound: Okay that's weird, since our Owl Dad here said the same thing about the universe feeling weird... Owl: Yes...only guardians are that in tune with the universe...

Alt Leo: Yeah, we pretty much KNOW the universe we live in. So if something disturbs the balance of it, we KNOW something isn't right!

Leo: Wait...so does that mean... *points between Alt Cyber and Leo* are you two....?! Alt Cyber: Yes, we are the guardians of the Miraculous

Alt Leo: And we lived MUCH longer than any other human in this world! Not that we're bragging or anything ;)c

Leo: ....Whoa..... Owl: Well, from one guardian to another, it’s good to meet you, particularly since I’ve never met another guardian

Alt Cyber: Same with you. Alt Leo: Nice to meet ya fellow guardian! <3

Alt Owl: Wait, IM the guardian in your Universe?!

Owl: Indeed. Alt Owl: .....That sounds WAY cooler than just being a writer! :/

Hound: Does anyone else wanna just sit down somewhere and compare universes? Cause I kinda do :3c

Alt Coral: Sure! Why not? :3c

(They all go to Eric and Jeremy's apartment) Timber: *to Cyber* Guess my alternate self's not home, too bad

Cyber: *to Timber* I guess....if your alternate self even lives here at all....

Alt Cyber: Sorry for asking, but who are you under the Wolf Miraculous? I'm a bit curious as to who you chose for it; maybe we know you.

Timber: O-Oh! You....want me to transform back?

Alt Cyber: No, just...tell me your name. I think all of us transforming back would just end up being incredibly confusing.

Timber: A-Alright then.....*ahem* My name is Jordan Ellis-Williams. O-Or just Jordan Ellis.

Alt Cyber: .......Sorry, but I don't know any Jordan Ellis. Cyber: W-What...?

Alt Cyber: If i passed by anyone who had your name....i just didn't noticed them.

Cyber: But...that's...h-how could you not know him? H-He's my...our best friend! He's everything to us, there's no way you could just...not know him, i-it's not possible!

Alt Cyber: I'm afraid so. I...do apologize if this upsets you.

Cyber: No, I'm sorry, it's just...Jordan has been such a big part of my life... *takes Timber's hand* It's just...very hard to imagine life without him... (Alt Cyber glances at their hands and sees their rings)

Alt Cyber: ....Are....you two....married? Alt Leo: *softly* Does that mean they're gay or something? :/c

Timber and Cyber: NO!! Timber: Well, yeah, we ARE married- Cyber: But it's platonic; Jordan may be bisexual but I'm straight, so, yes, it's a platonic marriage

Alt Cyber: ......I was not aware you can get married platonically. Alt Leo: So like....it's like marrying your best friend? :/c

Alt Tiger: Yep! That's a thing! Marriage doesn't mean love it mostly means living together forever! Hound: Some things never change XD

Alt Leo: .....Does this mean I get to marry Michael? :3c

Alt Tiger: If you really want to! X3c (Leo and Hound blush) Alt Leo: *to Hound* Whoa, hey, I didn't recognize ya at first! Michael!! You got a Miraculous?

Hound: Well yeah! MY Leo gave it to me! Before i knew who he was under the mask of course! ;)c

Leo: Speaking of non-holders being holders, Jane and Kirsty aren't holders in our universe either

Alt Natura: Oh really? How come? :/c

Leo: *shrugs* I dunno, just didn't happen, I guess. Hound: You two are usually our damsels in distress of the week. Seriously, your track record with getting in trouble with akuma's is...record breaking.

(Alt Natura face palms) Alt Tiger: Really?

Swan: Yeah...we have to save you a lot...

Alt Natura: .....I'm not gonna question WHY it happens at this point. -_-

Alt Timber: Speaking of which.... *looks at Timber* Never expected a big guy like you would wear this *gestures his suit* big hunk of fur on ya.

Timber: Yeah...although it's pretty disorienting seeing YOU of all people here... *everyone looks at Alt Timber uneasily*

Alt Timber: Why ya say that? >:/

Owl: To put it simply...in our universe...you hold the Raven Miraculous, not the Wolf. In our universe, you are our enemy, Raven Claw.

Alt Timber: *tenses* I'm....Raven Claw in your world?! And not that....snarky, manipulative, BITCH Vincent?!

Leo: Whoa Vincent? Why does that name sound familiar...?

Alt Cyber: Vincent....the current holder of the Raven Miraculous in our world.....has been abusing it's power for his own gain for quite some time now... Alt Leo: Last time we checked, he might have some prisoners trapped in his lair....

Leo: Prisoners...*blinks* Oh god...oh god NO!! Alt Leo: What? Leo: *scared* How many prisoners?! Are there three?! Three men?!

Alt Leo: Yeah.....three guys are trapped in his lair....the only thing i can recall of them is that they're blue, green, and purple....and that's about it.

(Leo turns pale and staggers back a bit at the thought of the three of them in the hands of Vincent of all people) Leo: No...no...

Cyber: Leo...? Leo: NONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!

Cyber: Whoa, Leo, son, calm down! *he holds onto him* Leo: Vincent...Vincent was Virus Cy! VIRUS has them and he has magic and he has Max, Philip, and Sebastian! He has them!!

Alt Leo: Woah, guess you guys faced YOUR version of Vincent before.

Cyber: Yes, but he was a one-time event, a VERY DANGEROUS one-time event. And if he's Raven Claw here...

Cyber: ....Oh god.....he's probably done MUCH more horrible things than OUR Raven Claw...!

Owl: Indeed; our Raven Claw takes hostages, not prisoners. Back in our universe, Vincent was akumatized due to his envy of those three brothers, and imagining them in the hands of Vincent when he's being consumed by the evil magic of the Raven Miraculous...those poor boys...

Alt Leo: Yeah....Our Raven Claw is VERY vicious, he would go ALL out on us and i bet he won't stop until one or all of us are DEAD.

Alt Coral: Trust me, that bitch had his claws INCHES away from slicing my head off! Alt Coral: .....Thank god i LIVED.

Leo: Oh god...Max...Philip...Sebastian...no no no... Alt Leo: Uh...I guess you know those three?

Leo: Yeah! They were my babysitters when i was a little kid!

Leo: How do you not...oh yeah... Alt Leo: Yeah....when you're immortal, you don't need babysitters. Hell, Cy's pretty much been my babysitter for as long as we've been alive

Alt Cyber: Yes it is true. Since even though you're just as old as me, you STILL act like child and do stupid things!

Alt Leo: Well excuse me! >:( Alt Swan: Wait...if...Spam is Raven Claw... *looks at normal Swan* You're his brother in your universe...does that mean...? (Swan looks away sadly)

Alt Swan: Oh.....Oh god..... Alt Timber: *puts his hand on Alt Swan's shoulder* Good lord...poor kid....

Swan: It's okay...I've...made peace with it by this point...just because he's my brother...that won't stop me from taking him down...

Alt Timber: *softly to himself* Note to self, don't lay a single claw on the other version of your younger brother, cause that might.....trigger some things.....i think.

Alt Coral: *trying to change the subject* Uh...what about me? What am I like in your universe?

Hound: Oh! Um....you're just....a guy.....that does things......At least you were akumaized once. :/ Alt Coral: ......Tell the other version me to become the THIRD damsel in distress! Alt Coral: Cause if I'M involved in Akuma stuff, HE has to as well! >:(

(Alt Cyber and Leo take a sip of water) Leo: Well, our buddy Gavin had to save you once, as Inferno Wing. He's a badass phoenix. (Alt Cyber chokes on his water and Alt Leo does a spit take)

Alt Cyber and Alt Leo: WHAT?!

Leo: O_O What? Alt Leo: DID YOU SAY PHOENIX?! AS IN THE MYTHICAL PHOENIX MIRACULOUS?!

Leo: Uhhh.....yeah?

Alt Cyber: You...You FOUND it?! AND you found a suitable holder for it?!

Hound: Yeah! And we found the other four Mythical Miraculouses too! Leo: We had search the WHOLE world just to find them all!

(Alt Cyber and Leo look like the universe has just been changed before their eyes) Alt Leo: ...oh my god...holy shit...oh my god... Alt Cyber: They're really out there...after all this time...they're out there...

Owl: I can assume you didn't know they were out there, did you?

Alt Cyber: After they disappeared we...we thought the worst! We focused on keeping the other Miraculous safe and hoped that the Mythical ones wouldn't fall into Raven's hands, but now...! Now if we can find them...! Alt Leo: We can kick Raven's ass!!

Alt Tiger: Woah *to the other holders* So there's five of them?! Dasher: Yep! They're the Dragon, Phoenix, Griffon, Nine Tailed Fox, and Unicorn Miraculouses! They're VERY powerful! Alt Coral: .....Holy shit they're the Legendaries of the Miraculous! 0_0

Timber: Yeah; it was an ordeal, but we split up and went traveling and managed to find them all\

Alt Natura: ......Now i'm kinda excited for when WE do it ourselves! :3c

Alt Tiger: Yeah! Going on a worldwide mission just to find the Mythical Miraculous! >:3

Alt Cyber: Well, I think that about wraps it up for universe differences. Now, we should probably figure out how you got here and find a way to send you back

Leo: Oh! That's.....kinda easy? Cause....an akuma sent us here!

Hound: Yeah, our Raven's akumas kinda have a THING for alternate dimensions or pocket dimensions; we just gotta beat up the akuma and poof!

Alt Natura: ....Huh, we kinda had OUR fair share of pocket dimensions from time to time but.....really? YOUR Raven Claw does this kind of thing A LOT with his akumas? 0_0 Alt Coral: Didn't knew Alternate Spammy boy had a thing for a vacation in another world -3-

Leo: Yeah, and we've had quite a few romps through YOUR head because of it, Jane.

Alt Natura: O_O You....you...what?!

Hound: Yep. Akumas that for whatever reason chose YOU to drag us through dreams, thoughts, fanfics, and whatever, and I'm shocked we don't have grey hairs from the weird-ass shit we've been through in there!

Alt Natura: HEY! Don't judge ME for what goes on in MY brain! I don't even wanna know WHY they chose me for y'all to go through MY mind! I got some creative space in my head and you ain't judging it! >:(

Swan: *softly* I liked the My Little Pony cartoon crossover...

Alt Natura: *looks at Swan with wide eyes* You saw.....Sonic X-Over?! My large fictional world where EVERY fictional media exists in one world?! 0_0 Swan: *shrinks* Um.....y-yes....? Alt Natura: *slowly looks at Alt Cyber* ....Is there a pillow nearby?

(Alt Cyber hands her a pillow from the couch)

(She holds onto it, and then she covers her face with the pillow and screams loudly into it)

Alt Swan: Now I'm kinda curious about this... :/c

Alt Natura: *peeks from the pillow* IF YA WANT ME TO MAKE A 50+ PAGE ESSAY ABOUT THE LORE AND STUFF ABOUT IT, BE MY GUEST. *hides back in the pillow* Alt Swan: ....Ooooookay then....0_0'

Alt Cyber: Aaaaaanyway, what does this akuma look like? The one who sent you here?

Leo: Umm.....he looked like....some tall.....dark dude....who wore like this....weird hybrid of Darth Vader and anime villain clothes.....and he had this obsidian stone on his chest, and he had like...this deep tone. I-It was like a second villain for us or something!

Alt Cyber: Alright, that shouldn't be too hard to spot; hopefully Raven Claw doesn't send another akuma our way while we look

Alt Leo: Yeah! The LAST thing we need is a little akuma blocking our way of getting you guys home!

(They all take to the city and look for the akuma)

(Meanwhile in Alt Raven Claw's lair...)

Alt Raven: Well well well, this is a surprise. Two Leos, two Cybers, two Owls and two Swans; twice the vermin

Alt Raven: Even with the increased numbers of heroes, it still won't matter to me, as long as I get what i desire!

(He glances behind him where the trinity is chained to the wall, all three of them barely awake) Alt Raven: Maybe this time they'll have the guts to come for you; not like they care. They don't even know you, after all.

Alt Raven: *walks towards them* If they do manage to try to save you, i won't let them take you all away. *looks at Max* especially you~ *brushes his hand on Max's cheek*

Max: *weakly moves away* ...fuck off...

Alt Raven: Oh i won't....you and your two brothers are in my grasp for the rest of your lifes.....well....unless those Miraculous Holders barge in and take you away from me.....but i won't let that happen....

(The three brothers slump weakly as Raven Claw walks back to his perch, watching the holders)

Alt Raven: It'll be interesting to mess with these....new holders.....i don't even care that they're from another world, i just wanna see how far i can go to make them break into my hands... >:)

(Back with the holders, Leo slows to a stop as Raven Claw's lair is seen in the distance)

Alt Leo: *softly* I can see it...!

Leo: *softly* Max...Philip...Sebastian...I...I can't leave them in there with HIM...!

(Suddenly, Leo starts to pick up the pace, his eyes locked on Raven Claw's lair)

Cyber: Leo?! Where are you going?! (In the lair) Alt Raven: Well look at that! *glances at the trinity* Someone cares for you after all!

Philip: *weakly* W-What...?

Alt Raven: *ignores him* Is this my Leo or the other Leo? It must be the other; MY Leo would never be this reckless; now I wonder...what kind of holders am I dealing with? >:3c

(Back with the holders, Leo is running towards Raven Claw's lair) Alt Coral: *looks at everyone* Well don't just STAND there! Catch that kid! *runs after him*

Cyber: Leo, get back here! Leo: Just hang on guys...I'm coming!

(The Miraculous Holders chase after Leo, following right behind him)

(Leo reaches the lair and burst through the door and starts looking for the trinity)

Leo: GUYS!! WHERE ARE YOU?! WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT BIRD BRAIN TOOK YOU?!?!

(Leo runs upstairs just as the others reach the lair) Alt Leo: Geez, am I this reckless too??

Cyber: Oh you don't even know the HALF of it! -_-

(Leo bound up the stairs on all fours until he reaches the tower and sees the trinity chained to the wall)

Leo: GUYS!!

(Leo runs up to them and scales the wall and starts hacking at the chains with his claws)

Max: *weakly* Who....?

Leo: Oh yeah, you don't know me, but I know YOU guys!! And I'm getting you out of here!

Philip: *weakly* Th-Thank you.....so much.....

Leo: No problem! ???: Oh I wouldn't thank him yet. *Alt Raven descends and hovers before the trinity and Leo* You haven't even gotten onto the ground yet.

Leo: *turns and glares at Alt Raven* You...! >:(

Alt Raven: Yes me, though I don't believe we've formally met. After all, you aren't MY Leo

Leo: Well i certainly know the you from MY world! And you were a PAIN to deal with when YOU turned into an akuma! >:(

Alt Raven: Oh, I was akumatized in your world? That's it? Oh, I got a MUCH better bargain here!

Leo: Yeah, like making the alternate versions of MY BABYSITTERS your prisoners?!

Alt Raven: *small gasp* Your babysitters? Oh how SWEET! *pinches Alt Max's cheek* I didn't think you were type that was good with kids; you surprise me every day!

Max: *weakly* Get the fuck away from me....!

Leo: STOP IT!! *leaps at Alt Raven with his claws*

(Alt Raven dodges)

(He grabs Leo by the tail and holds him upside down) Alt Raven: You really didn't think it'd be that easy, did you?

Leo: *struggles* PUT ME DOWN!!

Alt Raven: I'm dissappointed; surely you've fought with your Raven Claw before, I expected you to be smarter than that. (spins him around by the tail and throws him straight up into the air before flying up and grabbing him by the neck)

Leo: ACK!

Alt Raven: Ugh, pitiful. ???: PUT HIM DOWN!! (Cyber and the others enter the tower)

Alt Raven: Oh THERE you all are! I was wondering if you all stayed back for me to SLAUGHTER this little kitty cat of yours! >:)

Alt Leo: Put the other me down! And quite calling me Kitty cat!! >:(

Alt Raven: Well, HE tried to set my prisoners free! And i won't let ANYONE take them away from me... *tightens his grip on Leo's neck*

(Leo chokes and pedals his feet) (Everyone gets ready to fight)

Alt Timber: This wolf is ready to tear apart this bird into PIECES! >:(

(Both Swans draw their swords and fly up to strike)

(They slash their swords at Alt Raven)

(Raven dodges while still somehow holding onto Leo) Alt Raven: Now that's more like it! >:)

Alt Timber: Oh is THAT what you want eh? *unsheathes claws* Then we'll show ya! *to Timber* Let's beat this bitch to the ground! >:(

Timber: Never thought I'd say this to you, but HELL YEAH!! *they jump up and join the fight*

(Both Timbers slash their claws on Alt Raven)

Owl: *gestures to the trinity* Let's get those three down!

Alt Owl: Yeah!

(The two Owls, Hound, and Alt Leo, and Alt Coral, Tiger and Natura hack at the chains, while the two Cybers join the fight)

Alt Natura: Just stay still, we'll get you down! (Alt Tiger uses her claws to hack the chains)

(They eventually break through and gently catch them before lowering them to the ground)

Alt Owl: Now they're free! Owl: Almost, we need to get them out of Raven Claw's clutches!

Alt Coral: You three still with us?

(The trinity stir)

Alt Tiger: Hey, can you hear us?

Max: ......Erk......are......are we free.......?

Alt Coral: Almost! Though we took longer than we probably should have...

Alt Coral: Heh heh.....sorry made you guys wait longer than we should have..... Alt Natura: We should've saved you as soon as we found out...

Alt Tiger: But we got you now! And we're not letting you go

Philip: .....Thank.....you......

(The two Owls and Alt Coral carry them, being the biggest and head for the exit) Owl: *to the others* We got them! Let's go!

Alt Cyber: Almost! *sends a large thunder shock to Alt Raven, which hits and causes him to let go of Leo*

(Cyber catches him and Leo coughs) Cyber: You stupid boy...

Dasher: Alright, NOW we got everybody! Let's go!

(They give Alt Raven one last hit before making a break for it) Alt Tiger: He's NOT gonna be happy when he finds his favorite prisoners gone!

Alt Natura: Yeah, and we'll make sure he doesn't re-capture them again!

Alt Cyber: That won't be easy; he's relentless!! Hound: Uh, we might have an idea of how to fix that, but let's get away first! *they run out of the lair*

(They run out of the lair and leap towards the rooftops, going far away from Raven's lair)

Alt Natura: Should we take them to a hospital? Alt Leo: No, that'll be the first place he'll look! We'll take them back to our place!

Alt Timber: Good idea!

(They run to Alt Cyber and Leo's apartment and put the trinity in a room to rest)

Alt Leo: *sighs* Now with that out of the way.....NOW we'll focus on finding that akuma and getting you all home!

Leo: Yeah, and by the way, hear me out on this...since those three are pretty much on your Raven's hit-list...maybe you should make them holders

(Alt Cyber and Alt Leo’s eyes widened) Alt Leo: Wait, really?! Alt Cyber: A-Are you sure? After everything they went through?!

Cyber: It sounds unconventional but...they went through almost the same thing in our universe. Virus wasn't going to stop hunting them, and they only way to protect them and for them to protect themselves, was by making them holders. Leo: We kinda did it without our guardian's permission though... Hound: Unless they're meant to be the Jane and Kirsty of YOUR universe and get kidnapped/held hostage every other week

Alt Natura and Alt Tiger: HEY!! >:(

Alt Cyber: That...does seem to be the safest option... Alt Leo: Yeah, then we don't have to keep an eye on them all the time

(Alt Cyber and Alt Leo head towards the shelf where they keep all their Miraculous and open all the shelves that hold the Miraculous)

Leo: *softly* I can't wait to see which ones they pick for them...

(After a while, Alt Cyber and Alt Leo come back, holding the Grasshopper, Shark, and Sheep Miraculous)

Alt Cyber: I suppose once they recover, we'll see if they're willing to do this Alt Tiger: Woo! New teammates!

Alt Natura: Yeah! :D

Alt Timber: And while we wait for that, let's find us an akuma!

Hound: Yeah!

(They all head out again; eventually, they manage to spot the akuma)

Dasher: There He is!

Alt Tiger: Charge! >:D

(All the Miraculous Holders charge towards against the Akuma, but as soon as they got close, the Akuma sends out a wave of darkness towards them, knocking them back)

Alt Leo: OW! Not cool!

Obsidian: Why hello there Miraculous Holders, good to see you all...

Obsidian: I see you've made some new friends from this universe

Leo: No shit Sherlock!

Hound: As cool as this has been, we wanna go home, thanks!

Alt Coral: Yeah, Mr. Edgy McEdgyson has the train to get back to Normalvile for these guys!

Dasher: Yeah, so let's get that akuma already!! (They start to fight)

(They gave it everything they got against the Akuma, while dodging the Akuma’s powerful attacks)

(Eventually, both Cybers blast Obsidian with a double lightning blast and both Leo's jump on him and find the akuma)

Leo: Where is it? Where is it?!

Alt Leo: Here!! *grabs it and throws it to Alt Tiger who smashes it*

(A black bird flies out)

(Cyber purifies it and stops before restoring the damage)

Cyber: *sighs* Thank you.....for helping us...

Leo: Good luck on your own Miraculous journey

Alt Leo: It was nice seeing you all! Alt Cyber: Agreed. Alt Natura: Big group hug before you go? :3

Hound: Aww sure!

(They all gather around for a group hug)

Alt Tiger: Miraculous fam stays fam throughout all universes! X3c

Owl: *chuckles* Agreed, no matter who holds the Miraculous and who is the guardian, we are all family! :)

(They eventually break the hug)

Alt Coral: *starts to tear up* Oh god....I’m gonna miss you guys! :’(

Dasher: Same here!

Alt Natura: *to Cyber and Leo* Make sure our alternate versions of ourselves in your world stay safe! Hopefully :/

Leo: Aw don't worry, we may act annoyed, but we love 'em

Alt Tiger: Aww! <3

Alt Timber: *to Swan* Hey, I don't say this too often, but kick my other self's ass real good for me, okay?

Swan: I will! And I’ll make it EXTRA hard! Just for you! ;)

Alt Timber: That's my other dimensional little brother! :)

Swan: Heh heh! <3

Cyber: Thank you again. Now...Restore the Damage!

(Cyber releases a ring of electricity and they vanish from their world) Alt Natura: I’m gonna miss them... ;(

Alt Tiger: Me too... :(

Alt Coral: We all do man, we all do... ;(

(Meanwhile, the originals end up back in their city) Owl: *closes his eyes and feels the air* Ah, now THIS is the universe I recognize

Leo: Woo! We’re back! :D

Hound: Home sweet home!

Dasher: Yep! <3

(Just then they see the trinity walking down the sidewalk) Sebastian: Hey guys! You just poofed outta nowhere! Fight an akuma? Leo: GUYS!! :D *he transforms back and glomps all three of them*

Philip: Woah! Max: Hey! What’s with the hug kid?!

Jeremy: Aw man, we went to some weird alternate dimension and I REALLY missed you guys!!

Sebastian: You did?!

Jeremy: Yeah! Raven Claw had captured you guys, Cy and I were hundreds of years old, Kirsty and Jane were holders, and it...it was SO weird but awesome at the same time!

(The Trinity blinked) Philip: Um... O_O Sebastian: We were captured?! D:

Jeremy: Yeah, cause get this; in that universe, Raven Claw...was Vincent!

Trinity: WHAT?!

Jeremy: I know right???

Philip: V-Vincent as Raven Claw?! Good....Good lord, that’s horrifying! O_O

Max: Great, I'm NEVER sleeping again now!

Max: Thanks a LOT kid -_-

Jeremy: Aw c'mon, he's Raven Claw that means he CONSTANTLY loses! Plus, when we left, we had saved you AND Cy's alternate self was gonna give you Miraculous!

Sebastian: Oh, really? :0c

Jeremy: Yeah! So don't worry, you guys are fine over there!

Philip: Well....good to know.

Jeremy: Yeah... *hugs them again* Feels like it's been forever since I've hugged you guys...

Sebastian: Awww, Jere-Bear! *hugs back*

Our Rules:

This should be obvious, but no godmodding! To those unaware, godmodding is taking control of your RP partners’ characters during an RP.

Mun =/= Muse! In the event either twin does something unacceptable, that doesn’t mean I condone it. If you need clarification, hit me up on IM. Similarly, if one or both twins snap at your muse, that doesn’t mean I have a problem with you, that’s just them having their own problems.

Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc. will not be tolerated on this blog! Come in my inbox with any of that and you can expect an instant block.

If you’re MAP, Nazi, alt-right, white supremacist, anti-vax, transmed/truscum etc, turn around, get the fuck off my blog and don’t bother coming back, because you aren’t welcome here.

Please keep drama and politics out of my inbox! I don’t like to get involved in or see either of those things, so please respect this.

Please have a Rules and About page available on your blog if you wish to interact with me. If I’m unable to find these pages, and you’re unable to provide me with a link, chances are I’ll be less willing to interact with you, since I won’t know a thing about your muse or what your rules are beyond basic RP etiquette.

If you’re a personal blog, please refrain from reblogging threads or asks. I won’t RP with personal blogs, either.

That being said, though, if you have an RP sideblog, please let me know. Also, reblogging my art is allowed - encouraged, even.

On another note, though, please refrain from excessively liking or reblogging my posts. I appreciate that you enjoy my content, but not only does this clog up my activity feed, it also makes me anxious. I’ll only warn you once, and if you continue, you will be blocked.

Similarly, pestering me to follow or interact with you will result in an immediate block. That’s harassment and I won’t stand for it.

Flooding my IMs or messaging me as soon as I come online will also result in an immediate block. Again, not only is this spam, but it sets off my anxiety.

Actually, on the topic of anxiety, please keep in mind that I will prioritise my own well-being and mental health over anything else and will block anyone who makes me uncomfortable. If you have a problem with that, maybe we shouldn’t interact. I’m not going to suffer a panic attack just because you want a thread.

This blog operates on reblog karma. How that works is that if I reblog a meme from you, I’ll send you something from that meme - and if you reblog a meme from me, I ask that you to send me something.

On that note, do not use me as a meme source. I’m willing to let it slide once or twice, since everyone forgets, but if you do it deliberately (and, trust me, I’ll be able to tell after a while), you can expect to find yourself blocked.

Please try to be patient with me. I operate on GMT, so I won’t be as in sync with most of you. I’m still figuring out how the queue works, so please bear with me until then.

Anon hate will not be tolerated. If you abuse the anon feature for the purpose of sending hate, I will remove it for a certain length of time. It’s there for nervous/shy people, or RP sideblogs, not for you to be a royal prick.

If you need something tagged, please for the love of God let me know! The last thing I want is to make you guys uncomfortable, and I’m not a mind reader!

Please try to ensure that spelling, grammar and punctuation is accurate. I know I can’t ask this of everyone, but d0nt typ3 l1k3 th1$!! The one exception to this rule is if our characters are texting in the thread.

On that note, no one-liners! I’m not expecting a whole novel’s worth of a reply, but it kind of kills my motivation when I put in a lot of effort into a reply only to be met with one line of text that doesn’t give me a lot to work with.

If you’re not part of the thread, DON’T reblog it! It makes things confusing!

I reserve the right to refuse or drop a thread for whatever reason. However, if I need to drop a thread, I’ll be sure to let you know beforehand.

As of right now, I won’t do crossover threads. This may change in the future, but right now I’m still figuring out which fandoms I’d like to crossover with. Please respect this.

I am open to multishipping - so each relationship the twins have has its own verse next to their main story.

I don’t do instant shipping. Both twins are very wary of romance and relationships in general, as they fear being led on for a laugh. Just like normal people, it’s going to take some time for them to warm up to your muse.

On that note, if you see anything that looks like it’s instant shipping, chances are it’s been developing outside of Tumblr. So again, don’t just throw your muse into my inbox trying to spontaneously make out with either twin if they haven’t had some sort of development first.

Currently, I’m not open to poly-shipping. This may change in the future.

That said, for the love of God, do not ship the twins together in any situation! Incest is heavily frowned upon here, and if I see anything to do with it popping up on my blog, you only have one warning. Any incestuous shipping after that, and you can expect an immediate block.

The twins are each others’ best friends - like two peas in a pod. As such, they listen to each others’ opinions and look out for each other. If your muse is dating one twin, but doesn’t get along with the other, don’t expect that ship to survive.

In regards of NSFW content, sexual content won’t be present, but there will be themes like blood/gore and injuries. Anything overly graphic will be tagged accordingly and put under a read more.

On that note, both mun and muses are 18+. Mun’s D.O.B is 17/04/97. Even if NSFW content isn’t present, I expect all shipping partners (mun and muse alike) to be 18+ as well.

If you’re interested in my NSFW blog, hit me up over IMs. You need to be 18+, though - no exceptions.

Once you’ve read all these rules, please send “Double Pupper Trouble!” in my askbox. Thank you!
