and the Genocide ones. I know technically you’d only get a Techno geno fight considering, yknow, but my favourite au in the Undertale fandom was the one where Sans dies first and Papyrus becomes the final boss so I had to work that in.

(also I realized I absolutely should have given Tommy his bandanna so I could give it to Techno as a neat parallel to Tommy taking up his cape so I’m retconning my own design, Tommy gets a bandanna now)

fight mechanic n dialogue stuff under the thing

Technoblades fight is probably the most similar to the actual Sans fight in that its. Just an absolute slog. He doesn’t dodge but he has a LOT of health and will heal himself several times before you can kill him. Tommy, if you kill Techno first, will stalk you for the rest of the game and will randomly surprise attack you. Same as his pacifist fights, they’re all only a few rounds long, but he attacks become more complicated and hit harder every time.

Tommys fight

checking

*Tommy is shaking *Tommy is gripping the trident tight *smells like blood and tears

dialogue

*Tommy: how- how did you beat him! YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT HIM

*Tommy: he was... h-he was my- Tommy: ... Tommy: GOD DAMN IT

*Tommy: you were supposed to be STRONGER than this Tommy: you’re gonna feel REAL fuckin stupid when I kill them

Tommy: first rule of combat Tommy: f-first rule... Tommy: fuck, FUCK what was it...

*Tommy: ‘Technoblade never dies’ Tommy: ... fuckin liar

*Tommy is crying

Tommy: you wont get away with this Tommy: fucking bastard

Technoblades fight

checking

*Technoblade is gripping the sword tight *Technoblade is shaking *You’re being watched

dialogue

*Technoblade: WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM.

*Technoblade: he was my- Technoblade: ...

Technoblade: first rule of combat, Tommy. Never let your guard down. Technoblade: you didn’t listen, why didn’t you listen, why don’t you ever listen

Technoblade: shut up about Tommy, chat. Shut up about Tommy. Shut up about Tommy.

*Technoblade: I know it was my fault. I know. I know Technoblade: just shut up already. please

*Technoblade is muttering to himself

*Technoblade: should have been faster. Should have been more careful. Shouldn’t have left him alone.

If techno and ranboo ever interact for sustained periods of time their rp dynamic would definitely be like saitama and genos. Ranboo would follow him around in awe until something happens that techno begrudgingly accepts ranboo as an aprentice but doesn't actually teach ranboo anything substantial while ranboo tries to learn how to be a pvp god.

The alternate scenario, where Arch convoy forces conquered Murrey, Skaro and Irk in the distance past before he died

I can buy that for Irk. I mean, some of Cybertron's agents helped defuse the whole Operation Impending Doom thing... mainly by hyping up one idiot and pointing him at the rest.

Murray might be tougher depending on if Vilgax was alive for that or not... because frankly the dude's been geno/techno enhanced so often that very few know how old he really is.

Skaro... yeah, no. Daleks'd probably blow up the planet if Arch even got close to conquering it.

Now that drive knight has re-entered the battle,do you see him sticking around for the dragons battle and garou?

Heh, Drive Knight swooping in to kill steal with the shamelessness of a bald eagle? Stick around and risk losing his super-precious samples? I don’t think so. He can’t recycle the ‘out of energy’ excuse, not with Genos watching, so I feel a bad case of the old robo-lurgy coming on. In a battle with a monster as devious and dangerous as Psykos-Orochi is, he might not need to feign battle damage. He might have to limp off for real.

Edit to add: Are you watching, Genos? Are you watching how your techno brothers-in-arms wait until the battle is all but over, then swoop in to claim the spoils? Metal Knight and Drive Knight, they’re both your enemy. And Child Emperor is no friend. Monsters may be dangerous, but it’s humans that are really scary.

#asks #Drive Knight #the way this guy smells blood in the water and homes in on it it's admirable #in its ruthlessness and efficiency #also very scary

Summer In Jersey - The Garden State Hip Hop Hour’s Richard Scott

By: Natalee Gilbert

In a land full of snakes, the Garden State is far from one.

Composed of only free spirits who "ride that wave" at all cost, New Jerseyans put on for their hometowns. As a union, they mostly have sleepless nights and quick snooze sessions throughout the day. But alone, they come from different backgrounds that helped them grow.

Even so, there is one thing that all residents can agree on: Summer In Jersey lives up to all of New Jersey's hype.

When you tune into Summer In Jersey, expect songs that highlight New Jersey's undying pride and summer functions. As one part of the compilation references to the club (or klerb as others might say), the others fall in line as beach, flex or nightclub anthems. Besides this, Summer In Jersey carries a three-part skit by The Infinite Nudist. Essentially its all about a friend who is convincing another to go with him to the beach. Then, a girl whos fed up with his distant ways as they go to the shore and it closes off with a late-night "You Up?" call from a friend who tries to convince the other to leave and go to a lituation.

A few notable tracks like "Mexico Bity (Cliquot Mix)", "Dollar Sign Malc", "Sorry Not Sorry", "Maria", "Can I Call You', "Black Pool Party" and "Invited" help tourist get the jist of what it's like to live in a goal-driven yet party oriented state. The 21 piece collective is curated by The Garden State Hip Hop Hour's boss man, Richard Scott who sought to make a timeless summer tape that everyone can enjoy.

Cued into a section of every song, Siri does her part in announcing that it's a "Garden State Hi-Hop Hour Exclusive."

The first song "Valentino" by Chad B is moreso a flex track that seperates itself with self-reflection and words of encouragement. One reason why he's able to shine is because of the daily grind. Still, his success mostly stems from an undeniable skill with rhyme schemes and autotune. Following in unison is a "diamond-in-the-rough" beat that embellishes on the obstacles he's encountered. But Chad B teaches all that there is a silver lining if you just believe and focus on yourself.

"Bad Girls Only” by Melo V is a salute to all those women working 9 to 5s! The beat is influenced by pop, techno even some R&B but the power of the track is held by Melo's strong, melodic vocal play. "Bad Girls Only" really allows women to let loose and enjoy themselves.

Fourth in line, "No Way" by Trophy Hitta Sage keeps up the momentum especially with this one liner, "Wearing yellow in the summer, you're a bright catch." Like Chad B. she uses auto-tune but its a bit more airy and passionate. At most "No Way" is a techno/hip-hop track. Trophy Hitta Sage uses the beat to speak about a girl whos got her going crazy and she just wants to know whats up.

Then theres "Invited" by BUMPPRO, a track thats quite infectious and falls as an anthem to those who don't get invited to the "off-the-wall" parties. Sonically "Invited" dabbles into rock but then carries on with futuristic synthesizers, techno and auto-tune. The song speaks about a party next door that BUMPPRO has heard about but he wasn't invited to. Nevertheless he's with the hype and is going anyway because everyone needs to let loose every now and then. The best line thus far from "Invited" is "Sounds like a sick party bouncing off the wall/ I got a case, I got a bottle. But I look fly, I came to party/f*ck those problems."

In pursuit "Act Up" by Rich Smiles stresses the projects care-free flair. It's hard to fit "Act Up" 's genre into one because of the R&B vocals at hand with a dancehall and caribbean feel. Here, he sings about a women has caught his attention but he's not looking for commitment. To have her for one night is enough and he won't let anything (or anyone) stand in his way. The highlight of "Act Up" is when Rich Smiles does a vocal run on the phrases "back up" in chorus and "act up". He really cranks up the heat with his ability to alter R&B's main focal point on love.

'Intentions" by Ganja Killz and "Zaya" take a similar approach. Driven by latin and caribbean vibes, they both use soothing vocals so listeners can feel at ease. Besides this, their native tongue pays homage to where they’re from. It’s nothing but tropical slashed with a whole lot of sultry energy.

Next, “Mexico Bity (Cliquot City)” by Killa Klerk Cobain travels back to Spanish Harlem. Killa Klerk Cobain gives glory to Jersey Club and uses it to drive the beat selection. But really, its to show listeners that people in New Jersey “really just be vibin’.” This track is solely for those who are looking to have a good time. So the tango might as well go on!

Fast forward and "Jersey Anthem" by GrooveBoyPut ft. Dougie F., Tsu Surf, Sonny Breeze, Crunch Calhoun, Albee Al Daddy pave the way for all New Jersey artists to keep going! Just like them, they've been through the struggle but still conquered. Now they're realistically living their dreams. For those who weren't there for the long haul, just know these emcees hold weight. They're coming with the pounds and don't care what others think regardless!

"For The Low" by $uper Drug$ ft.Threat Digga says it all in the title. Proficient in the ways of trapping and counting blue faces, these two only wreak havoc when someone disturbs their peace. Beat wise, "For The Low" takes the aggressive approach. These two do justice in being blunt, flexing and collecting their coins discreetly.

Now if there comes a time when a jam for night drives is needed, then "All Summer" by Dollar Sign Malc is the perfect fit. Because it gives off a 90's vibe, "All Summer" will be the only thing that shines this season. To summarize, this song fits all occasions like going to the beach or riding around the town with a shawty. Same applies for "Can I Call You?" by Najir. Even though it leans more towards a early 2000's sound, its still something with hype due to the Jersey Club influence. Najir in this song speaks about how hes in need for love and doesn't want to lose his girl.

Funnily enough, "Maria" by Smooch also speaks on a love whos got the artist stuck. Like “Mexico Bity (Cliquot City)” the beat takes a trip to South America and uses some boom bap flair. On a vocal standpoint, he hits more notes than rhymes but he excels when dabbling into the two.

"Te Fallo" by Lilskrt4k feat. Chris Cruz is similar to 'Intentions" and "Zaya". Same tropical sound with a bit of reggaeton but theres more energy and switch between Spanish and English. Seems like this song is speaking about doing anything for love also. The part that gets me is the ad-libs. It really makes one feel like they're on an island.

To say the least, "We Jus" by Bulletproof Belv tells all about summer flings. Although they're great in the moment, it's really short-lived once the leaves turn brown. "We Jus" beat leans into the trap side. But because of the background drums and snares, it distinguishes itself as a summer vibe. Overall "We Jus" is a song to play when it's just too hard to say "this is a DTF situation."

On the other hand, "Sorry Not Sorry" by GrooveBoyPut and Smoove The Rapper goes in the opposite direction. GrooveBoyPut and Smoove The Rapper are really feeling this girl but shes done them dirty so now they've started to care less. Because of the drums in back and xclophone, it categorizes itself as a summer anthem. Still, "Sorry Not Sorry" has some trap influence and can easily be mistaken as another flex or derogatory song. All in all "Sorry Not Sorry" is a song for the heartbroken. It goes hard on self-liberation and leaves no room for tears or empathy.

"See This" by DOMS is worth all the hype. Trap-ridden at its own leisure, DOMS dares anyone to step up because it'll be them against him and his boys. Equally important, DOMS flexes at an all time high. One line that speaks volume is, "Gotta make those sacrifices if you want to beat them."

Like the last track, "To the 6ix" by A-Money$ is a trap song. Aside from highlighting his luxurious trips around the world, "To the 6ix" doesn't forget to talk about the exotic women and drip that he easily obtains.

Next to last, "Can't Be" by Honey gives off a bittersweet feeling. A once mutual love, Honey catches on to her mans sneaky ways. Thus she can’t help but to be hard on herself for not noticing sooner. Following is Honey's emotionally captivating vocals and a beat that pulls heart strings.

Finally, Summer In Jersey closes off with a lucid song called "Black Pool Party (CLICQUOT MIX)" by Clicquot Geno and Jet Lyte. Contrary to the beat, these two go all in with smooth sailing vocals and confidence. Some can even go so far as to say that "Black Pool Party" is making waves. Don't believe me? Listen for yourself. This song basically speaks on how they have no time for the B.S. and how certain individuals are now trying to swim on their stream of fortune. To summarize, the R&B and hip-hop influences run deep.

Go and stream Summer In Jersey now. It's available on DatPiff.

BotGeno Valentine Countdown 2019 - Valentine date

Time for another ficlet! It’s date time! 1.6k today.

Relationship: Saitama/Genos Tags: New(ish) relationship, bilingual borg Warnings: None (G)

”I love you.”

”Once more?”

”I love you. I love you… to the moon ah… uh…”

”To the moon and back.”

”Right, right. To the moon and back. Am I doing it right? You can tell what I’m saying?”

”I can, well enough.”

King seemed to think they were done. Not yet. Saitama wanted to get this perfect.

”I love you to the moon and back..! To the moon… and back! Irresistible!”

”...”

”What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Is that… your usual expression when you tell Genos that you love him?”

”Uh. Yes? What of it?”

”I suppose… it’s not my place to judge your boyfriend’s tastes.”

”What’s that supposed to mean?!”

Genos talked a lot, but not usually about himself. When he did, it was typically about a new upgrade or something. Genos talking about his upbringing, or even his past in general… that was rare. So he hadn’t realized it immediately. Maybe his Engrish (he’d been told, by both Genos and King) shirts should have been a clue, but Genos disapproved of so many of his clothes anyway that he hadn’t paid it much mind.

The second clue was maybe some of that techno talk with the doc, but almost all of what they talked about when they got going flew over his head anyway, so he didn’t really think about it.

Instead, the first time he really realized it was when Genos talked in his sleep. It wasn’t something that happened super often, and even when it did Saitama wouldn’t usually be awake to hear it. But that one time he was, and he was surprised to hear the other muttering stuff in a foreign language. At least he understood enough to realize that Genos was sleep talking in English.

He’d asked him about it at breakfast the next day, and Genos had been mildly surprised Saitama had found it out, but otherwise pretty blasé about it.

”I was raised bilingual,” he’d simply said. Knowing his childhood was kind of a sore point Saitama hadn’t really dug deep into it, but he’d learnt that Genos was fluent in English, though he rarely got the chance to like, have a casual conversation in it with anyone. The closest he got these days was reading foreign cyborg research papers, or talking to people online, or, well, the Engrish shirts. But they didn’t really have people who spoke English (who spoke it well, anyway) among their friends. Which was maybe a little sad? Like, you’d probably miss casually speaking a language you were raised with, right?

Genos had assured him that he was fine, but Saitama had prepared a little… surprise for him, all the same.

Valentine's was coming up and he thought it’d be fun to maybe like, surprise him by saying a phrase in English. A loving phrase, of course.

He’d asked King to help him get it right - the guy was exposed to more English than any of them, thanks to his video games, and they’d practised in secret, while Genos was out.

The days leading up to Valentine’s were busy, with lots of monster reports. Not terribly dangerous ones, but they still needed to be dealt with. There were monsters spawned from jealousy, and unrequited love, and the one who must have had a really weird relationship to chocolate. Genos was called out to deal with several of them and even Saitama got an official call to take care of a sentient candy heart that had somehow made its way to the outskirts of City Z.

It sucked that they were apart so much for several days, but at least it gave Saitama lots of time to practice, with Genos out of (cybernetically improved) hearing range.

”You are amez-... no… you are amiz… you are cool! Yeah, that will have to do…” he muttered to himself. Why did it have to be so difficult to memorize a few lines?! How could Genos make it look so easy to just keep going?

He kicked a pebble as he crossed the street, not bothering to look for cars. None ever made it to their dilapidated neighbourhood. Instead he looked up, to the one lit window in the building, while slowly twirling his gift around in his fingers.

He was home.

”I assure you that I will not go overboard today. On this, you have my word.”

Saitama lifted one eyebrow, eyeing the man across the table. Genos sat in a (somehow) even more rigid seiza than usual, vents faintly glowing and whole body borderline vibrating.

”You’ll be pleased to hear I upheld your ’spend no more than 500 yen on me dude’ rule, Sensei!”

”Really? Huh,” Saitama said, blinking slowly. He hadn’t expected the other to live up to that promise, to be honest.

”Yes,” Genos purred. ”Please leave it to me!”

Genos was a sneaky bastard, but he already knew that. Saitama had realized he most definitely had put more than 500 yen into their first real valentine’s day date the moment he led them down the street to the restaurant. The food there did not cost 500 yen. A glass of water from them, maybe.

He’d narrowed his eyes accusingly when they were handed the menus after being shown to their table, but Genos had once again assured him that he’d followed the rule. It just so happened that the restaurant’s owner was a very big fan of Demon Cyborg. And… maybe he’d used that, a little bit. Maybe he’d signed one of the plushies of himself that fans sent him sometimes and given to her, along with one of his exceptionally rare public smiles, with the glowy eyes. And maybe she’d been more than happy to let him and his significant other eat for free at her restaurant in return for his smile and his signed plushie and a good word about her restaurant.

Sneaky bastard.

He couldn’t deny that the food was tasty, though. Especially for being free. He even got to sample some wine, though that was a taste he had yet to acquire (Genos too, going off his grimace after trying it, but free was free).

After that, they walked down the shopping district of City Z, looking at all the lovey-dovey stuff for sale in the shop windows. There was so much pink and red and of course, all the chocolate.

”You didn’t spend your money on overpriced chocolate, right? I don’t think any of these cost less than 500…”

”No, we will buy chocolate tomorrow, at half-price.”

”Good boy.”

He filed away the way Genos lit up at that comment for later.

”Of course, since the food was free, and the walk too, I still have 500 yen left to spend on Sensei as I see fit. Or rather, as he sees fit… Would you please pick out what you want in this store? Anything Sensei wishes - as long as it costs 500 yen or less.”

He’d stopped and was motioning to the store closest to them. Saitama peered past him to look inside the window and oh, it was a manga store?!

”Good boy,” he repeated himself, Genos smiling ear to ear as they went inside.

Saitama made a bit of a show picking out a manga volume he didn’t yet own, feeling those eyes, and that grin, on him throughout the whole time in the store. Not to mention the way Genos held his hand the whole time, doing these weird swinging motions from time to time. He wondered why he kept doing-

”Hey. Are you like… showing off to people that we’re a couple?!”

Genos lifted their hands again, and this time Saitama noticed the phone, held by a red-faced, giggling teenage girl. She bowed her head in gratitude before running off into the crowd again.

”If they want a picture, the least we can do us to offer a good pose...”

”Geez, aren’t you being exceptionally friendly today!” He snorted and gave Genos a small shove with his free hand, but only held on tighter with the other.

They left the store and started to trudge home again.

It was Saitama’s turn.

”I didn’t like, go through all the trouble you did, and I’m not good at coming up with cool personalized ideas and all but, um, here.”

He’d led Genos home, and made him sit down on the floor by the table (and Genos was definitely vibrating this time), and then he’d gone to fetch the things. He’d kept them in his side of the clothes closet, hopefully they’d still be okay…

”Here. And, here too…”

He handed Genos the red rose, still looking none the worse for wear, thank goodness, and the card. ”It’s dumb, I know, but I thought it was cute…”

Genos took the rose from him like it was made from gold, slowly turning it around in his hand to see it from every angle. And when he was handed the card - featuring a cartoon robot (”Valentine, I like you a Bot”) he studied that up close to - Saitama could tell his eye was doing the sparkly thing that meant he was scanning or analysing or whatever.

”Saitama… this comes from the heart. Thank you…”

”Ah, wait! There’s one more thing. You’re gonna have to excuse all the mistakes, because I’m sure there will be many. Just hang in there, okay?”

”Sensei..?”

Saitama cleared his throat and Genos went back to being quiet, eyes wide and mouth tightly shut.

”You are really cool Genos. Thanks for putting up with me. My days are brighter with you around. I’m bad at emotions, but I love you to the moon and back.

Genos just stared at him for what felt like an eternity, and then it was as if he exploded, talking fast and loud.

”Sensei… no… master! Thank you! You learnt to say all of that in English… just for me? I love you too! I love you so much!”

”Uhh. I didn’t catch most of that, sorry dude. It was cool to hear you say it though. And I got the last part...”

”You did so much. You spent your 500 yen more thoughtfully than I did…”

”Nah…”

”Come here, Sensei. Tonight I will teach you how to scream... in English.”

”R-right…”

He had a feeling he was about to learn a bunch of new words, but not ones he’d be able to use in public.

This was going to be fun.
