Don't Blame Me (Pt 3/5)
Tumblr media
Dean Winchester x Reader
Dean confronts Crowley who recounts exactly what did happen to you, sparing no details to Dean's horror. You look for a way to ward yourself from Dean finding you.
Dean was half in shock when you blinked out. You were alive? When he looked at Crowley he knew the anger he felt showed in his eyes because the demon took a step back even before Dean grabbed him, slamming him back into a wall. "BRING HER BACK"
Crowley shook his head slowly "I didn't send her a way and I try not to summon her. She gets upset, it causes a mess. She killed ten demons the first time I summoned her and let's just say I like keeping her as calm as possible"
Dean shook his head before pulling the demon blade up to hold the point against Crowleys neck "Last time I saw her she was getting on a plane. What the fuck did you do to her?" Crowley laughed sharply "What did I do? Squirrel you should really ask what did you do?"
Dean's grip loosened at Crowleys words "What do you mean what Dean did?" Sam asked as Crowley untangled himself from Dean's grasp. Crowleys eyes were on Dean when he said "She made a deal. I didn't go after her soul. It was already in hell"
Dean shook his head "She wouldn't. Y/N knows the risks" Crowley shrugged "and yet she did for you" "for me?" Dean asked and Crowley sighed "This is dramatic. Her soul already went to hell so contract fulfilled. She's gonna try to kill me but.." before Dean or Sam could ask Crowley touched two fingers to Dean's forehead. Flashes of an Okami, pain of claws ripping into his chest and the heartbreaking sound of your sobs tore through Dean's head.
"She couldn't face losing you so she made a deal. Be glad I took over when I did. Lucifer and his flunkies were having fun with your girl" "She wouldn't agree to be a demon" Sam argued but Crowley shrugged "A little over four hundred years of torture. A hundred of those were under Lucifer and Zachariah. She's stronger than most of the souls in hell but the things they did to her.." he trailed off and Dean could feel his jaw clench with anger even before Crowley met his eyes "No angelic interference for her, guess she wasn't important enough. I needed an attack dog. Someone who if they were spotted working at my side the threats were taken seriously"
"So you've been using her?" Sam asked. Crowley scoffed "I gave her freedom from the racks. I put her body back together so she'd have it. I made sure to keep her off the angels radar. I've gotten her to kill a few dozen demons but nothing she wouldn't have done in life. How the hell have I been using her? Would you two prefer me to have left her to an eternity of whatever being decided to plunge a blade or other things into her?"
Dean swallowed down the bile in his throat at Crowleys words and the images that accompanied them to ask "Why didn't she let me know?"  and Crowley laughed again "Did you not see that little performance? She was afraid you'd hate her so she stayed off the beaten path" "Then why did you bring her here tonight?" Sam demanded.
"She's wrong for lack of better terms. She shouldn't care like she still does, shouldn't have so much left of her human personality. Her soul was stronger than I gave it credit for. If she stays a demon she's gonna e a threat to my throne" Dean swung without thinking and connected a hard punch to Crowleys jaw "You've kept her from me for years, YEARS. and now you're only telling me so she can't dethrone you? The only reason I'm not killing you is so you can help me find her"
Tumblr media
Ireland, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and South America. It was hard to find a coven that would play well with a demon, let alone one marked by the king of hell as his right hand woman but you finally did. 
You sat in the middle of the circle, watching the woman paint sigils onto your skin. Once she was done she rejoined the circle. You sat silently as they chanted, the sigil glowing then absorbing into your skin. You looked at the head witch "No one can summon me now?" She nodded "Your boss can probably still get a feed on where you are but no one can summon you" you paid her the fee and thanked the rest of the coven before blinking out. You were back in Washington state, almost at the Canadian line. 
-------------
You had a cabin there, somewhere you stayed when Crowley didn't need you at his side. Somewhere you were able to ignore everything that had happened. You weren't right as a demon. They weren't supposed to feel, weren't supposed to care yet here you were. 
------------
You washed your face then looked at yourself in the mirror letting your eyes slip to black. Even as a demon you were held together by paperclips and rubber bands. The memory of the look on Dean's face flashed through your head and you smashed the mirror. What the hell were you supposed to do now?

In one of my previous posts I mentioned reading/playing the old Nintendo Adventure Books when I was a kid. Out of curiosity, I managed to find some scans of them online and poked through some of the ones I didn't used to have.
They still have an old-school cartoon vibe (constant quips, a lot of nasty appearance-shaming toward the bad guys, etc - they're from 1991), but if you can get over that, I really like the way they often have puzzles to give you hints as to which way to go. It's something I feel is missing from most choose-your-own-adventure books.
(Okay, yes, sometimes the puzzles pushed you in the wrong direction or were just straight up wrong, but the concept is there at least).
However, the reason I'm making this post, is because book 4 Koopa Capers has an opening which I'm amazed that the bowuigi crowd seems to have missed.
Tumblr media
"KoopExpress," a voice yells outside the Super Mario Bros. plumbing shop in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. "Special Delivery!"
Luigi looks up from his new invention, a water-powered pasta machine. It isn't working quite right. "Strange," he says. "Mario and I weren't expecting any deliveries today."
The tall, thin plumber tucks his high-tech plumber's helper into the pocket of his green overalls and heads for the door.
When Luigi opens the door, he sees a big package on the stoop. It looks like a giant hero sandwich wrapped in brown paper. "Mmm, looks tasty! But there's no return address," he says, stroking his thick black mustache.
Luigi is even more puzzled when he takes the paper off. "It's a rug!" he exclaims. "I wonder where it came from?" He unrolls the carpet on the living room floor. "Very pretty. It looks like a Goomba pattern."
He steps onto the rug to get a better look. "Hey!" he shouts as it comes to life under his feet. It's a magic carpet!
Before Luigi can escape, the rug wraps itself around him so that only his head and feet protrude from the ends. It rises into the air and zooms down the hall through the special pipe in the workshop that leads to the Mushroom World.
The next thing Luigi knows, the rug screeches to a halt in front of Bowser Koopa's castle. "Oh no!" Luigi thinks. "I'm being served to my worse enemy for dessert."
Out of the corner of his eye, Luigi sees two large helmeted red turtles carrying hammers. The Hammer Brothers! They waddle up to Luigi, pick him up, and carry him into the castle, still wrapped in the magic carpet.
Soon Luigi's bearers arrive at Bowser's enormous throne room. They unroll the carpet and send Luigi tumbling across the floor. He rolls to a halt at the scaly feet of Bowser Koopa, king of the turtles and leader of most of the bad guys in the Mushroom World.
"Good," Bowser says, squinting down his slimy snout at the prisoner. "Now, everybody out! Not you," he growls as Luigi tries to sneak off with the rest of the crowd.
Bowser waits until everyone else leaves. Then, in an embarrassed whisper, he says, "I need your help, plumber."
Before Luigi can recover from shock, the turtle king goes on. "My daughter, Wendy O. Koopa has vanished! She may have been kidnapped," he gulps, shedding a large crocodile tear.
He wipes his eyes with his sleeve and continues. "I sent my Koopa Troopas to search for her, but with no luck. I need a real hero to find her!" He puts his arm around Luigi's shoulder and adds, "I know you can do it. But the whole thing must be hush-hush. I want it kept a secret from my sons, the Koopalings. It's possible that one of them may be the kidnapper. Besides, no one can know you're working for me. It would be terrible for my image."
Luigi is very confused. "Let's recap," he says. "You want my to find your daughter? And you don't plan to tell anyone I'm working for you? So I'll still have to fight your flunkies, including your bratty kids, while I'm doing it?"
Bowser nods. "Right. Of course, your brother Mario might have been a better choice, but---"
"Oh sure, everyone would rather have Mario," Luigi retorts, offended. "Too bad he's fixing that drip at Niagara Falls. What if I say no?"
"I'd be very annoyed," says King Koopa, showing all his teeth in a sinister smile.
As Luigi looks at Bowser's enormous teeth, he says to himself, "Maybe Bowser is telling the truth. There's a first time for everything. And he does seem upset."
Luigi takes another look at the turtle. Bowser is now gazing at the ceiling and whistling innocently. "On the other hand, he's a born liar," the plumber thinks. "Well, maybe I should look into this mystery, just to see what the real story is. Besides, it would be quite a tale to tell Mario."
"Are there any clues?" he asks aloud.
Bowser holds out two shreds of paper. "There was a note in her room, but her Nipper plant chewed it up. This is all that's left."
Luigi can read only two words, FORT and MAGMA, on the scraps. "Intriguing," he says. "Okay, I'll do it. It might even be fun!"
Solve this puzzle to see what happens next:
Help Luigi find his way through this message maze to see where the clues lead.
Tumblr media
If you think Luigi should go to the Magma Pits, turn to page 55.
If you think Luigi should go to the Fortress, turn to page 20.
If you think Luigi should look around Koopa's Castle, turn to page 29.

One of the risks of the current situation that wasn't present in the canon universe is that there are a decent number of people in power who know about the miraculous and - more importantly - the general sort of item they disguise themselves as when not activated. Meaning that Chloe suddenly deciding to sport a comb in her hair after the bee miraculous has been stolen and someone has been seen using it could get her caught instantly, especially since the person she stole it from was her mother.
Fortunately, the bee's disguise form is a bit more subtle for Chloe than it is in canon (since she's not actively trying to be known as a hero in this setting), and it turns a golden colour with an elegant little bee mixed in with a lot of filigree. This is also where it comes in handy to have a major fashion designer as the head of your resistance. Gabriel gets a couple combs made that look like the bee miraculous's disguised form when Chloe wears it, sends them home with her to get people used to her wearing a hair comb openly, but so that if her parents notice and make her hand it over, it's safe to do so because it's just a regular comb. This turns out to be a good call, because it absolutely gets yanked out of her hair the first time her mother spots her wearing it.
a_real_nowhere_man Nino being Chaotic Good makes a lot of sense. I kind of want to hear more about the shenanigans that ensue that would lead to Nino being an enabler, how was it discovered that he does not in fact count as adult supervision?
Thanks! And he's one of those chaos gremlins who tends to fly under the radar because he doesn't tend to start chaos, but he absolutely encourages it if it's to his taste. Shady wants to use Claw as a projectile weapon? Bet you can't throw him to the roof of that building. Claw's expressing his hatred of pigeons? Nino's making an AMV of pigeon videos with a killer score just for him to send next time Claw's being a pain. Chloe's shirking a little bit to fix her make-up? Nino's always wanted to be more beautiful (I'd say just regular beautiful but, let's be real, boy already is beautiful).
Alya can be a lot of fun too, but she's very detail-oriented and the sort to triple-check her sources; she's very much the first mate to Hesperia's captain. Nino's the heart of the group, though, with a baseline positive attitude that's very comforting (especially to Gabriel since, you know, constantly-on empathy powers). A good resistance needs a lot of planning and order, but a great one also needs a bit of benevolent chaos, and Nino's here for that.
It's also why, when Gabriel gives Chloe a couple spare combs (so she can say it's a set and actually wear more than one at once if she wants, helping to hide the bee miraculous in plain sight even further), and she gives one to Nino as a sort of 'here, we're friends now' token, he does stick the comb in his beanie and start wearing it.
(Note: Chloe and Sabrina aren't friends in this AU, as Lila joined the school much earlier in this timeline and managed to steal her away to be her flunky instead of Chloe's. Also, the reveal about Lila from the end of season five is non-canon in this AU, just because that was a push too far for my personal suspension of disbelief to handle.)
Anyway, the point is, Nino is Chloe's favorite of the new group and Alya can't even be fully mad about it because, frankly, he's everyone's favorite in the group. Well, except for Hesperia; Gabriel doesn't play favorites with the group (and if he had to pick a favorite kid it would be his son, anyway, though he is rather fond of Claw as well).

TOON THEORY: Team LHHAFBBHQ was turned into the Supervisors
Insane ramblings under the cut. 
As I was wistfully recalling my time at Toonfest at Momocon 2023 and the cherished memories I made there, I wondered to myself;
“Huh. We haven’t heard about the Executive Office Tower in a hot minute, I kinda expected it to come up during one of the panels. Ah well, it's nice to see the Cog Facilities revamped, and those new Supervisor Cogs are really cool-”
That’s when the first of many thoughts struck my optimism-addled brain. 
“Huh. Team LHAAFBBHQ was made up of two guys and two girls. The new Supervisors are made up of two guys… and two girls.”
I, like many of you, rolled my eyes at this thought at first. Two guys and two girls in a team of four is just balanced character design. But that inconsequential little detail opened the floodgates to more tiny details that quickly added up in a big-and uncomfortable- way. 
Who’s Who?
I found the character summaries for Team LHAAFBBHQ and the new Supervisors, and started comparing. Some details fit together more cleanly than others, and there weren't any massive smoking guns, but there were frequent enough small details that led me to believe that what I was seeing was more than coincidence.
I collected my resources and made highlights that I thought were of interest, with some notes to explain my thought process. Maybe you can see something that I couldn’t.
Tumblr media
Captain Rollie Dandysnooker - The Factory Foreman
Similar carelessness. Rollie has a history of getting the rest of the team into slapstick scenarios, which is hinted to be reflected in the Foreman’s behavior
Unfortunately (or fortunately), there don’t appear to be any other parallels at this time, or at least none I could see. 
Tumblr media
Prof. Von Fumblesplat - The Mint Auditor
Both Auditor and Fumblesplat are described as intelligent and analytical
Both summaries make a point that they plan ahead for multiple possibilities
Tumblr media
Silly Lilly Gigglesnout - The Office Clerk
Lilly is known to be quiet; possible connection to Clerk’s abhorrence to Sound?
Lilly is the intelligence gatherer of the team, and The Clerk’s control of her witnesses gives her control of the information in the court
Lilly is described to be knowledgeable of everything and everyone in Toontown. Where better to store that knowledge than the library?
The Office Clerk’s face is very long, almost stretched out, kind of like a horse Toon’s (“Why the long face?”)
Tumblr media
Colonel Violet Supergrooven - The Club President
Violet is the strongest in combat in the team. As the Bossbot Supervisor, The Club President is the strongest of her peers.
How could this have happened?
The back of the President’s hair strongly resembles the “hair” of a cat Toon. This detail is in almost all of her progress sketches. 
Edit: a detail noticed by @surleetonin:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As anyone who has been keeping track of Team LHAAFBBHQ’s last known whereabouts knows, it’s all but confirmed that the team is (or was) being held prisoner in the Executive Office Tower on Bossbot HQ property. 
The first hint we got to the Supervisor’s existence we got was an Email from The Chairman himself, in a memo to the entire company. However, when it came to the debut, who made the big announcement?
So… What now?
The CEO. Why is HE the one who “hired” the Supervisors, when the idea was The Chairman’s?
To link the Supervisors to the Bossbots, and maybe, just maybe, Team LHAAFBBHQ, who were taken by the very Bossbots they had set out to find. 
Maybe I’m wrong. Heck, It’s very likely I’m wrong. Mayeb the Supervisors were hires from outside the company, robbing a poor Flunky of his hard-earned promotion. Maybe Team LHAAFBBHQ got distracted playing the world’s longest game of Toono. Or Maybe Joey and the gang just forgot about the Executive Office Tower entirely. 
…But I don’t think they did. The Rewritten team forgetting, I mean, the other two things are very likely to happen.
Just after Team LHAAFBBHQ went missing and BBHQ was hunted around and found, Sir Max, AKA Joey, teased the possibility of a new playground. At an earlier Toonfest, the team announced they were going to redo all the textures in the game. Both promises remained dormant and unfulfilled… until this year’s Toonfest, which confirmed both. 
In Conclusion:
I have full faith that the dedicated team behind Rewritten hasn’t forgotten the Tower, or Team LHAAFBBHQ. And I know that they’re going to come back, in some way, shape, or form.

I am mentally ill :)

Who are Maleficent's allies for the KH Divergence saga, and what is the story behind Pandemoniac Heartless Parade?
In my KH4, Maleficent has summoned all remnants of her old minions from Enchanted Dominion to assist her and the Heartless in their big magical science project with the relics of power from the ancient age and date from the Book of Prophecies (I'm not remotely kidding here, Maleficent goes full Arcane Hextech in this story!). In addition, she still has Pete and the Gullwings (Yuna, Rikku, and Paine) around, and Pete's called up the Beagle Boys to help too.
Y'know, these guys:
Tumblr media
After KH4, however, Maleficent has been rendered powerless and with only two flunkies to carry out her plans for her - Pete, and the newly introduced Mortimer Mouse, a Duke from Disney Town who always wanted the king's throne and a Keyblade but could never have either, so he turned traitor back in the Disney Town/Castle segment of KH4. From the powers of darkness, Mortimer forged a faux-Keyblade that can slay Demi-Deterged and freeze hearts in place, but cannot actually unlock anything or set any hearts free. The duo of Pete and Mortimer would be set up in The Missing Links, but they don't get particularly active as a menace to the worlds until KH5.
Pandemoniac Heartless Parade? Oh, that is a fun one. The idea for that spinoff would be that it's a reality where Maleficent won in KH4 rather than get defeated and depowered. Her plan to submerge the existing World in darkness while she rules and dictates the course for the newly recreated "Ye Olde World" succeeded, so now she schemes to gain access to the real Kingdom Hearts via the false one that was a built-in thing for this Olde World. Said Olde World now sits atop the ruins of the previous World (like Piltover and Zaun, more Arcane shit there!) and rather than be split into different "worlds", it splits off into different "sectors", each ruled over by a Disney Villain who command their own forces. Within this setup, you create an OC to serve Maleficent and work alongside Pete and Mortimer (and other allies like the Gullwings and the Beagle Boys) in keeping things in check. The "story" comes as an Excuse Plot to intermingle with the Disney Villains and various enemies: all this World's Heartless, out of nowhere, start turning on each other and creating feuds between different classes of enemy and different villains who command them. Like there's OG Darkling Heartless VS Emblem Heartless, Colorful Heartless VS Dark Heartless, Humanoid Heartless VS Beastial Heartless, Organic Heartless VS Manufactured Thing Heartless, Heartless VS Unversed VS Nobodies VS Nightmares VS Demi-Deterged, etc. Obviously this creates a panic from Pete and Mortimer as they fear Maleficent's authority will be undermined this way, and SPOILERS: it turns out that's the whole idea, as Hades is behind all this and has been out to usurp Maleficent's rule from the start, and he's conspired with newcomer villain Cruella De VIl to put this scheme in motion. It's on your character to unravel the conspiracy and stop it so that...Maleficent can stay in power and ultimately unlock the way to Kingdom Hearts. You are playing as a baddie!
The villains that'd be featured aside from Maleficent and co.:
Madame Mim (villainous counterpart to Merlin) Cruella De Vil Hades, Pain & Panic, and the Titans Ursula, Flotsam & Jetsam Oogie Boogie, Lock, Shock, & Barrel Captain Hook & Mr. Smee Jafar Shan Yu Scar & the Hyenas Gaston & LeFou Dr. Hamsterveil, Jumba Jookiba, Captain Gantu & Reuben John Worhington Foulfellow & Gideon Dr. Facilier Mother Gothel Prince Hans of the Southern Isles Prince John, Sir Hiss, and the Sheriff of Nottingham Yzma & Kronk King Candy/Turbo and Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
'Twould be so much fun, I so wish it was real!

Last time, on Dragon of Icespire Peak!
Our heroes continued their exploration of the fortress of Axeholm! Having dealt with the last of the ghouls, our heroes sought out the last foes remaining to ensure the fortress's habitability. The fights were difficult, fending off a swarm of giant geckos, an ancient and twisted banshee, and an awkward conversation in a hot tub, but ultimately, our heroes were victorious. With the fortress now clear, they set out back towards Phandalin to deliver the good news. However, as the town appeared on the horizon, Phandalin was attacked by the dragon Cryovain, forcing the townspeople to take shelter. With their paths now set towards Icespire Hold, will our heroes be able to defeat Cryovain, or will their adventures come to an end? Find out, today!

Tumblr media
dauble has become a badger. jorb: you're a stinky little creature. dauble: i'm a BIG stinky creature, thank you!
Tumblr media
OH. DAUBLE IS, IN FACT, BIG
(jorb misread the dire badger's stats, then misread it again before making the badger normal sized as its supposed to be. whoops)
oh. i just wasted my breath weapon. Lame. alidaar tries to knock the other party back but they roll high to resist it, and he's only able to get a small dent in on syleen (and his battleaxe does nothing to jabarl). arepo is casting magic missile! pew pew pew pew
jorb: you turn around and the horses are all lengthening.
(jorb was editing the horses in the stables and i sadly did not get a screencap)
AH. BRAKKIS IS KICKING MY ASS A LITTLE ACTUALLY
kepesk, squeezing past arepo and dauble: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? bunch of freaks >:0 [starts wailing on people]

First meetings 😳 
"Please don't do that."
"Do what?"
"Stare at me."
I'm actually astonished he even noticed, although I keep my face controlled enough to look mildly interested. Raising an eyebrow I swivel my head so that I'm actually looking him in the face. He stares back in a very cool- Alright, cold manner.
The fact is I wasn't even using my peripheral vision, or side-eyeing him at all. I was using the reflection on a piece of Silver displayed in his office to study him as he talked with a subordinate.
"I can look if I please."
"Why are you here? I know you're not like the other patrons, you're different. You're one of..." He trails off, making some sort of sour face. It's comical how expressive he is actually. "Black Mask's flunkies." I hold my tongue, those words actually make me bristle and I stare at Oswald Cobblepot in contempt. What's worse is he knows he's gotten a reaction out of me for it. I feel like we're playing some sort of fencing game and he's struck a point already.
"I was just headhunting bar keeps and was told this place was back open again. So I decided to take a look myself." I decide to be honest, it's easier this way because it was truly what I was doing. "Nice lie. Why are you really here?" Typical, paranoid crime lord. I resist the urge to roll my eyes and instead; I gaze back almost piercingly- something I know my eyes are very good at. Yet the fact is he holds my stare and doubles down with his own. It sort of works for him, with his mismatched eyes, one being in a monocle. Except he's more sarcastic about it. I watch his jaw tighten even before he relaxes and suddenly looks more accommodating, that sickly sweet charm people put on when they want information. He even waves his subordinates away so it's just us.
"Well?"
"I told you the truth. I'm here on my own accord to be nosey and take staff if it so pleases me and they agree to it."
"You know who I am, right?"
"Who you were, you mean?"
I take a point this time. I'd like to think I strike him across the cheek for that one, I even let it show on my features by giving an innocent smile. He seethes. But controls his temper all around, which I have to hand it to him- He's no Black Mask, thankfully, but from what I've heard about him and how he did things... I'm just waiting for a temper tantrum I suppose. I'm almost disappointed.
"You're very funny. Haha."
That actually makes me smile genuinely. It's sort of goofy how he said it, maybe I'm not used to dealing with people like him because he's different from other people in this line of business. Perhaps that's why he's stayed alive for so long?
"Listen, I don't care if you're some lackey of this 'Black Mask', what you're doin-"
I cut him off. Men hate that. He's no exception, although now it's him that looks astonished I'd even have the gall to do something like cut The Penguin off.
"I'm sorry Mr... Penguin. I don't know how you want me to address you. Anyways, this is not the same Gotham as when you left it, which I know you're fully aware of. I think it's been... 10 years now? You were in Blackgate for a while and power has shifted. I know you have some still loyal to you, obviously, when you got out of prison you had a driver ready for you. Very sweet. But there are a lot more players on the Chessboard now."
"Oswald."
Huh? I look taken aback by his simple reply.
"You can address me by my first name, Oswald."
This feels like a trap and I'm quiet as I study him, again we just look at each other. It's almost maddening. I've never felt so riled up by anyone except maybe Roman, but that was a given because of who Black Mask was and how we've had past. But this... This new guy... The Penguin was different.
"No... Anger because I cut you off?"
"It was rude but what you lack in manners doesn't deter me."
That's a point for him but I don't mind because the way he responds is hilarious to me now. What a funny little man.
"You're sort of cute." I respond.
My words are so out of the blue I think I actually stump him. In fact, I think I can see something like color on his pale cheeks and nose, but mostly I can see something not-so-nice lurking in his expression now. How exciting.
"Miss...?"
"Sophie."
"Miss. Sophie, I'm sure this has been entertaining for you, but I'm not above-"
"Killing me?"
"Stop interrupting me!"
That actually gets a physical reaction- He pounded his fist once on his desk, while his facial features sort of do an interesting twitch. He's holding back desperately I think, maybe he's had anger management or maybe he's just trying to be a gentleman for now.
"Maybe I should just get rid of you right now so I don't have to worry about the future? Hm? I'm sure Black Mask won't cause a whole war over one of his little lackeys dying."
"You're wrong."
"What?"
"First of all you make the mistake I'm easy to kill off, insulting. Second of all you really don't know who or what I mean to Roman Sionis. Actually what anybody does. I could be his driver and if you off'd me he'd simply start something- He's... He's sort of spoiled. He doesn't like his things to be toyed with or destroyed, and no offense, you aren't exactly in a whole lot of power like you used to be. So you're sort of a sitting duck... Er, Penguin."
I'm not being mocking, I'm not even being antagonizing now. I lean back in the chair across from him as he takes in what I said because I'm all honest and open at this point.
He doesn't answer right away and instead, I can see the gears in his head turning. The mental gymnastics of this man must be a gold medal winner I'd like to think, because it's true he defiantly does not have the Empire like he used to. But in the short amount of time he's been released from Blackgate he's done enough to garner attention from several big players. Black Mask is one of them.
"So what, are you warning me? Were you sent here as a message?"
"You're not listening. I came here on my own, nobody knows, and I did it because I felt like it. However, sure, yes, you could take what I said to you as a warning about how Black Mask works. Well, just one of the ways he works. It's free information for you because I think you're cute."
His jaw tightens and a flash of warning is in his eyes at my last comment. But otherwise, he keeps himself in check before looking away; he glances away and towards a large outside-facing window. The view his office has is actually very nice, Gotham's skyline is illuminated by an almost full moon tonight.
"Alright, Miss. Sophie-"
"Just call me Sophie."
"Sophie. Exactly who are you?"
Something drops in the pit of my stomach. I think he's won the fencing game and turned this into a Chess game now. Something I've never wanted to be a part of, have always avoided, but now unintentionally became a pawn by just coming here tonight. The Chessboard and game that is Gotham were made for big players: Black Mask, The Penguin, up comers even like this 'Two-Face' Harvey Dent, and not to mention the Mafia families and the different secret societies. I've been lucky, or unlucky, enough to fall under Black Mask and just be tasked with taking out the garbage for him long as I'm loyal. But I think I messed up by speaking with The Penguin.
Do I be honest?
"I'm a bar owner over in Black Mask's territory; it's called The Temple. It's Greek themed but modern, I do good revenue."
The way he studies me is annoying, it's annoying even more how I feel affected by him. I've been around long enough to learn to never let anyone get to me, even Roman. Yet here is this stupid... Slightly round, pale, man getting on my nerves.
"You know what?" His voice is like a clear bell, but the bell that tolls when someone has died. "I think it's very nice to meet you."
I see tonight might be long.

This weekend has been a TOUGH weekend at work (seriously, people. Try to remember gifts more than three hours before the actual holiday, okay?), but nothing will ever beat this one day some old white dude brought a boombox.
I am a designated hitter at walgreens (I am aware our actual title has CHANGED but given no one at my store refers to us by it and just calls us DH, I dont know what it actually IS), which means I work front end and pharmacy both. Basically, I am store flunkie. There was one day I was working an entire shift in the pharmacy, and I'm in fill zone. Counting pills in my happy place. Then this most awful noise fills the air. It sounds like a cat dying set to organ music while a seagul mourns its passing. As some of the words filter through, I realize it's actually gospel music. The song would never come to an end, it just started over. And over. All of us in the back (including the one girl who has a side job as AN ACTUAL GOSPEL SINGER, SHE HAS ALBUMS OUT) just look at each other in bewilderment about where this is coming from.
Eventually, I am called to be back up to the front counter, as it's flu season and the line is down the pain aisle. I get to a register and see IMMEDIATELY where the music is coming from. There is this old man with a really old boombox in his lap. Each time the song he was playing hit the end, he would rewind it and hit play again. Which, this was a cd player. Why not just hit previous track or repeat, idek. But he would hit rewind each time.
His name is called, he joins the line. STILL CARRYING THE BOOM BOX. Still rewinding that track. I hear my singing colleague making a groan/scream of frustration from the fill zone. The couple in front of him gets to my counter and the husband asks me "Am I dead? Is this Hell?! Because I feel like an endless line at the drug store while church music plays would be hell." My good sir, I agree with you more than my job would allow me to say considering the dude is right behind you and can hear this conversation.
HE gets to my counter, and there is a problem with his insurance. And he continues to replay the same song over, and over, AND OVER as I attempt to fix the issue. And I can't describe to you how hard it is to get the correct sequence of numbers and letters typed in with that played full volume two feet from my ears.
This was years ago, before the pandemic. Which feels like a lifetime ago now. But this remains the most surreal day I ever had at work.

Ok but Misako, Wendell, and Morro all having deep cut boss fight style encounters with the elemental alliance and other active parties in the serpentine war
Misako’s got Granny Grundle who she’s trained to act as her mount and treasure tracker like Shiver having Master Mega
Yes it’s the very same Grundle that ended up hunting the ninja later on with its mega weapon induced revival
But that very Grundle first terrorized Garmadon and the elemental alliance
Misako: C’mon Granny pedal to the present! I need you focused!
Garmadon: How did you even tame a grundle?!?!
Misako: Lots of love and meat silly. NOW STAY STILL SO I CAN GET YOUR GROUP’S TREASURE!
Garmadon manages to defeat Misako barely and that was because he ended up making out with him to the horror of both side’s of the war
This was all
Morro took on the role of Big Man’s style of boss fight hiding within a dust storm
Morro had his special goggles on him to protect his eyes
But he duked it out against Chen’s flunkies managing to come out on top
Morro: I wouldn’t fight you if I didn’t have to. THIS IS FOR STIXX!
He got both of their treasures easily which was all of Clouse/Chen’s spell books and staff
Wendell got Frye’s style of boss fight and literally dukes it out with a Shamisen that summons Beohernie the giant scarab and other smaller but still monstrous beetles
He found it buried in the sea of sands long ago and he already knew how to play stringed instruments as a way to busk and get money for his sister and his own survival
He steals the serpentine’s secret weapons and wins big
Wendell: Let’s break them beetles!

Umbra had successfully infiltrated the enlightenments new church. She was clad in armor, and had walked around the place, so all that was left was to go to Victor’s office, and see the old fart.
Victor was pacing around his quarters for a little bit, still trying to think of a way dealing with all the new problems that have arisen, but soon snaps out of his thoughts as he hears someone knock on the door. He goes to see who it is, only to see an enlightenment paladin, a girl that had her helmet on. “I’m busy. Come back later.”
“Cut the shit, you sack of shit.” The paladin says, and it was around that point, Victor knew who was currently in his sights.
“Come on in, Presley.” The old man says, letting the girl in and closing the door and locking it. “What brings you here with our armor? Have you finally learned that your old way of living was sinful? Have you come to seek redemption?”
“No,” The disguised redhead says. “I’ve come to negotiate.” Now she’s fot Victor’s interest.
“Negotiate,,, interesting.” The old man says, completely caught off guard by this decision. “Alright, what are we negotiating upon?”
“You leaving me and my friends alone. One of my pals is in the hospital because of one of your flunkies.”
Victor tilts his head. “Really? You think that I ordered such a thing?” 
“After what you tried with the bat, and how you tried to have Adam kill it, I wouldn’t be surprised if you did, Steppenwolf.”   Victor, no,,, Steppenwolf is shocked. “How do you-”
“Know that you basically committed identify fraud?” Umbra replies. “Simple, a sketch of a family photo, and a ghost.”  Despite being ratted out, Steppenwolf keeps his cool. He isn’t going to lash out, that won’t help at all. Instead he plays this smart, and keeps his cool. “Alright, I’ll leave you, that runt, and your other friends alone, but only if you leave me alone.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot to ask; what in the hell made you want to do this cult shit, and what’s with the stand upgrade?”
Steppenwolf shrugs. “Murder for the hell of it just made me… empty overtime. As for what happened with my stand…” Steppenwolf slowly begins reverting back into his ‘Victor’ persona, his scary new level of calmness is now overshadowed by an outwardly pleasant look, the kind he’d have during rallies. “Let’s just say that I saw a new reason to live.”
Umbra could sense that he was withdrawing information, but at the same time she could see that he wasn’t lying. If his stand was able to evolve into that thing she faced in the woods, it was a clear indication this ‘man’ was different from the murder-happy asshole she knew. “Are you going to leave and my friends alone or not?”
‘Victor’ then grabs Umbra’s hand and shakes it. “Consider this my word. Now go.” Umbra then stares the cloaked thing down and exits his office, feeling relieved that went better than she anticipated. Still, this meant that all she needed to do was to try and inform Adam of the truth about his ‘father.’ However that can wait. She has to run home.

Got halfway through the OG 4400 and am unable to watch the remaining 26 episodes in two days because I have to work and eat and stuff, but the full series is $20 on Amazon so I might as well get it in the next day or two. Anyhoo, 18 hours in a week is a record fore in binging so here are my thoughts:
This series is a really odd mixture of somewhat mediocre mid 00s cable TV entertainment, sci fi ideas that are intriguing but executed inelegantly, and honest emotion. Is it art? No. Is there a lot of stuff that really gets to you despite the sometimes hamfisted execution? Yes.
I have vivid memories of watching this during the second season (streaming wasn't a thing back then, so I actually watched the first season on Netflix DVDs), reading Internet arguments about it, and really, really loving Tom and Alana and that he was given a wife in an AU episode, they came back together in the regular timeline and there was no angst or love triangles or courting, they were just happily married and that was it. Unfortunately, that only lasted a season and a half before she was mysteriously abducted back to the 1800s and Tom went on to date his government flunky boss and I quit watching the show in protest and haven't picked it up for 15 years. The AU episode is lovely and any time a sci-fi show needs to introduce a love interest of great importance I recommend they do it this way.
So Alana supposedly was written off because Karina Lombard was unhappy and I read an interview with the showrunner where he said Tom's new government flunky love interest was their first real attempt at romance and it hadn't worked so far and it was going to be the greatest romance that a summer show on the USA network had ever seen and um, EXCUSE ME. Alana was sexy, exotic, kind, and a decent stepmom. You think he can do better? Not even. That said, she didn't really get to do much after that AU episode this first season and they should have tried harder to keep her if that was the problem in the first place.
As someone whose peers are old enough to have teenagers and who has zero idea how to deal with all of that, Tom's desperation at trying to retrieve his son out of the sullen stranger he was when he came out of the coma and then futilely trying to lose him again to prison rely resonates for me in a way it didn't before.
Also resonating with me? Richard and Lily being simultaneously grateful for and terrified of their homicidal toddler. Kids, right? I remember little of the third season except that adult Isabelle wasn't as scary as she was when she was a baby.
Marshalala Ali is really in an acting master class way beyond anyone else here. Thing is I still think of him as "the guy from the 4400" and probably always will. Patrick Flueger and Billy Campbell probably come the closest to him but everyone else is just....amateur
I actually don't think the general public knew as muuch about Scientology when this was airing as we do now and it's really obvious what they were going for with Jordan Collier's "movement".
I found out while watching this that Summer Glau basically quit acting about eight years ago, ostensibly to raise her daughters. I know she was probably aging out of the characters she used to play but I remember when it used to seem that she was in everything.
I know the series was rebooted last year but I have zero interest in it and plan to keep it that way. But in the meantime, I think I'll always remember it fondly (despite them getting rid of Alana) and I found it held up on a revisit more strongly than I thought.

The kid's place is already a mess, various men rifling through drawers and overturning furniture- All stonefaced cold, hard killers- Every single one of them. Their leader does nothing, says nothing. He's smoking a black and gold cigarillo while sitting on the edge of a beat up old mattress, flicking the ashes into a half-filled glass of what appeared to be soda and cheap booze.
A flat onyx screen is pressed to the shell of his ear as a flunkie holds the smart phone with one hand, the ringtone reverberating in his ear until his young, foolish charge picks up.
"I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me," he speaks with a shark's expressionless hunt instinct, little more than single-minded focus and the unnerving patience only a apex predator can embody.
"You have something that belongs to me, Yeong-Hwan Byun. And if you're smart- Which I know for a fact that you are- You will not hang up and you will come home so we can have a little talk. Otherwise, this other kid... Oh, I dunno their name. They're not looking so hot right now. If you don't shake a leg, then shit- I don't think they're gonna make it."
He snaps his fingers and the gunman lowers the smart phone so his hostage can proceed to cry and loudly protest that 'No, Byan, stay away' and then the waterworks kick in in all their melodramatic glory.
Jae motions for the phone to brought back to face level and exhales long blueish wisps of smoke from his nose like a lazy dragon taking a seat upon it's treasure hoard.
"Don't be late, kiddo."
[IUNNO, mad Hyung is mad.]
call byan by their full name, see how they respondㅤㅤ��� ˚ ( accepting!! )
Tumblr media
ㅤalthough not sure of what exactly they're expecting upon answering the phone and hearing jae-hyo's voice, they don't anticipate it being anything good. they've been a bit flaky lately, after all — first they kept a little more for themself than they were supposed to, then they started conveniently 'missing' calls... yeah, they think they know what this is about, and they'd be lying if they said they didn't feel a little flicker of fright in the pit of their stomach at the greeting they're met with alone.
pausing at the ledge of the roof, eyes searching for the next best path forward, byan's mouth opens, but nothing makes it out before jae continues. fear intensifies at the use of their full, legal name, but they aren't that concerned — they've always been able to talk their way out of shit before, this shouldn't be any different, right? jae-hyo's got just the barest hint of a soft spot for them, it's something that hasn't escaped their notice (and something they have, perhaps, taken advantage of now)... surely he'll let them off easy, right? they haven't done anything that bad. —that's what they've been counting on, at least; that he'll keep playing that role of big brother and lighten the consequences, let them off with little more than a slap on the wrist.
what they don't expect is to be met with the complete opposite. what they don't expect, even after the order to come home, is for him to have one of the other kids there with him. for him to have shown up to the group home and— ...and what, taken the first kid he crossed paths with hostage? that seems so insane, so completely out of pocket, and byan is fully prepared to call his bluff—
ㅤ—...that is, until they hear a familiar, frightened voice over the speaker, begging them to stay away.
blood running cold, the teen freezes in place. what was once simple fear now blooms into fully-fledged panic, their breath catching in their throat as the weight of the situation fully settles over them, pressing down heavily over their chest. no, no, no, this... this wasn't supposed to happen, this— it was supposed to be fun, they were supposed to break a few noses, earn a bit of cash, and that was it. none of this was supposed to get so serious, it was never meant to be real—
ㅤㅤ" —okay, okay, i hear ya—! "ㅤthey start to respond, but the call ends before they can get any further. before they can tell him to let the kid go. fuck. shit. goddamn fucking son of a bitch—! they don't want to think that jae-hyo would actually kill a child, but they didn't exactly think he'd take one hostage to send them a message and here they fucking are. it's not worth the risk, they'll never forgive themself if one of those stupid kids dies like this because of them. they have to get back to the group home, they have to— ...to face jae-hyo, as well as the consequences of their insubordination. if it was anyone else around the home that he tried to threaten them with, they wouldn't care, but one of the other goddamn kids— ...but that's the whole point, isn't it? he's not stupid, jae knows exactly where to hit them to get what he wants, doesn't he? —fuck.
shoving their phone back into their pocket with a trembling hand, byan finally exhales the breath they hadn't realized they'd been holding and, with adrenaline coursing through their body, they brace themself and take a running leap across to the next rooftop. there's no time to waste.
Tumblr media
ㅤapproximately twenty-three minutes later, they're bursting through the front door with reckless abandon. by minute twenty-four, they're panting, running down the hall and skidding to a halt at the door to their room, body stiffening at the sight that lay before them. their belongings, all pulled carelessly from the shelves, drawers, and closets and scattered across the floor, not dissimilar to the way their bedroom had once been torn apart by an unhinged foster mother searching every inch for drugs, weapons, and other paraphernalia to hand over to the police. worse than that though are the several men digging through it all haphazardly, uncaring when anything tossed to the floor breaks beneath one of their shoes.
anger flares hot beneath byan's skin as they step inside, their jaw clenching, but the emotion doesn't compete with the sinking, ice-cold pit of terror in their stomach which sends another freezing chill down their spine. eyes dart briefly over the kid where he's being held in place — they think he's fine, just scared out of his mind. he's fine, right?? — before finally landing on jae-hyo where he's seated neatly on the edge of their bed. their heart pounds heavy against their ribs.
ㅤㅤ" okay, i'm here. i've got your shit.

Showdown with Hyzan
[Video ID: A large church-like building somewhere around Levincia. "I still can't believe this is supposed to be a warehouse..." Teko mutters, looking up in awe at the strange building. He dismounts the Cyclizar he's riding on and walks up to the door.
He jiggles the front door, finding it locked. "Welp, this wouldn't be easy, obviously..." he mutters. "Alright...You think you can get me in there with Dragon Rush, Yoshi?" he asks the Cyclizar.
The Cyclizar hops back, then builds up a running start, crashing through the door while cloaked in blue energy, revealing an elaborately decorated empty sermon hall.
"Attaboy! Now, let's finish this." Teko says, recalling the Cyclizar. He runs inside, and the camera follows him. He walks up a set of stairs inside the building and kicks open a door at the top, revealing Hyzan resting her head in her hand on a throne with the Arc symbol on its back.
"Surprise!! Did you miss me, you lunatic?!" Teko cackles.
"Hm. You're back." Hyzan mutters.
"That's right! You can mess with me, you can mess with my Pokemon, but messing with my friends?! You didn't even do it yourself, you just sent one of your flunkies to do it...so I'm here to beat you into the ground!!" Teko yells.
"...Still, you wish to defy even the divine...Though deplorable, I must respect your tenacity." Hyzan muses.
"Yes, yes, I don't care. Look, am I gonna have to get you to leave me alone the easy way or the hard way?" Teko says.
"My previous offer still stands, child...Your so-called 'partners' are dragging you down." Hyzan says, getting up from her throne.
"...Oh, okay. That's reasonable, I guess." Teko says, seemingly backing down.
"Hm?"
"Here's my answer." Teko flips Hyzan two middle fingers, glaring her right in the eyes.
"It appears you've crossed the threshold from brave to foolish...Very well."
Hyzan charges up a golden energy around her.
"My will is that of His...and so anyone who wishes to oppose me..."
She summons an ornate staff in a burst of light, with a Tera Orb at the top. She pounds the staff on the ground, and both of them are transported to another realm: a swirling astral background high up in space. Both combatants are standing on a large hunk of crystal floating in the void, inlaid with the same rune pattern thing as the Hall of Origin.
"W-what the-?!" Teko says, looking around incredulously.
"...Must be erased from this world." Hyzan continues, throwing an orb of light, which expands into an Arceus-symbol shaped portal that summons an Arboliva. She spreads her arms out wide, displaying the eye-like variants of the Arceus symbol on the inside of her cloak, and a large Arceus symbol-shaped halo of light appears behind her.
"Man...Great giant space arena thing! Arceus REALLY sweats the details, doesn't he?" Teko says.
He grabs his Rotom Phone out of the air, and "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit - Kirby & the Forgotten Land" begins playing.
"Alright then...Let's end this once and for all! Mess 'em up, Cotton!" Teko cackles.
He sends out a Frosmoth and a Tinkaton. The Frosmoth immediately rests on top of Teko's head.
"Hit 'em with Gigaton Hammer!" Teko yells.
The Tinkaton charges, its hammer glowing white. It knocks the Arboliva into the air, loosing several olives which immediately grow back, then smashes it. The olives immediately sprout and cover the ground in vegetation. The Arboliva struggles to peel itself off the ground, eventually getting back up.
"Hm. Return this slight with Earth Power." Hyzan says, charging up an orb of rainbow light in her hand.
The Arboliva sticks its branches into the ground as they glow white, sending energy surging through the crystal before erupting under the Tinkaton's feet, knocking it skyward. Upon touching the vegetation again on landing, it gets healed slightly.
Meanwhile, Hyzan tosses up the orb she had been charging in her hand. It explodes into several smaller orbs high above the Tinkaton, which explode further into several rays of multicolored light similar to Geno Blast. Only a few of them actually hit the Tinkaton, however, knocking it around a bit. The Tinkaton struggles to get up, but ultimately perseveres.
"Tch...I should have known you'd try to join in too..." Teko mutters.
"You wish to oppose His authority...As an emissary of His will, It is only natural that I take every measure possible to neutralize you." Hyzan says.
"You still hanging in there, Cotton? ...This is going poorly...Let's at least try to set up Stealth Rock!" Teko says.
The Tinkaton smashes its hammer on the ground repeatedly, picking up several shards of crystal, then hurls them towards the other end of the battlefield. The crystal shards glow and reform into caltrop-like spikes.
"...A foolish mistake." Hyzan muses. She pounds her staff on the ground, and an Arceus-symbol shaped portal opens up high above the Tinkaton's head, loosing a giant beam of light energy. When the light dissipates, the Tinkaton is sprawled out on the ground, unconscious.
"Whoa! H-how did...Oh boy..." Teko splutters, in disbelief.
"There is no way for you to emerge victorious, fool. Give. Up." Hyzan hisses.
"Nuh-uh! One of us is going down, and it sure as Distortion ain't me! Finish this, Patapon!" Teko yells defiantly, sending out a Falinks. A satchel of Silver Powder is tied around the brass' horn.
"Alright, try to hit it with First Impression!" Teko says,
The Falinks stack up into a tower, with the brass at the top. The brass yells, and the Falinks curl up into a circle. Their horns glow as they roll towards the Arboliva as one, shredding it into the ground and knocking loose more seeds. The Arboliva lays in a gash in the battlefield, unconscious.
"A small victory...an ultimately meaningless one. This changes nothing." Hyzan muses. She summons a Pyroar through another portal, which gets knocked around by the Stealth Rocks.
"Overheat." she says, spreading out her arm.
The Pyroar charges up a large, spiraling orb of fire in its mouth.
"It's trying to do something big...Try to dodge it, Patapon!" Teko yells.
The Pyroar releases its charged energy as a spiraling stream of flame. The Falinks roll to the side all as one, dodging swiftly.
"...Useless." Hyzan mutters.
"Okay, try to counterattack with Close Combat!" Teko yells.
As the Pyroar tries to redirect the flame blast, the Falinks stack themselves up and charge towards the Pyroar. They slam down on top of the Pyroar like a cudgel, then split back apart and start mobbing it. The Pyroar lays on the ground, sprawled out and unconscious, when they're done.
"Great job, Patapon!" Teko says.
Hyzan spreads out her arms as her eyes glow, and an array of small orbs of golden light appear around her, flickering and twinkling like stars.
"Shatter." she yells. She swings her arm towards the Falinks, and the orbs hurtle towards it and Teko.
Teko, almost reflexively, holds up the Frosmoth atop his head like a shield. The Frosmoth coats itself in a rainbow light. Hyzan's light orbs bounce off of it, knocking the Falinks unconscious but leaving Teko unharmed: strangely, instead of being reflected towards Hyzan, they curve around to a spot slightly behind her.
"Hehehe...Thanks, Leif!" he giggles. "Let's get you fixed up right quick." He pulls out a Sitrus Berry from his bag, restoring the Frosmoth to full health again.
"...Clever." Hyzan concedes. "Still...Know that your struggles are only just beginning, child." She summons a Farigiraf through another portal, stumbling as it gets battered by the Stealth Rock blasts.
"Alright...Let's show this freak that you aren't 'tainted', Rathian!" Teko yells, sending out a Flutter Mane, which drinks the canister of Booster Energy tied around its neck. Hyzan visibly appears slightly angrier as this happens.
"Let me handle this." she commands the Farigiraf.
She spreads her arms wide, and a vast array of portals appear high up behind her. Raising her arms even higher, the portals spit out countless meteor-like shots of light.
The Flutter Mane quickly vanishes into Teko's shadow to take cover, as Teko himself holds the Frosmoth up again while it uses Mirror Coat. The few shots that manage to actually hit him are reflected away, this time arcing to a spot beside Hyzan. The Flutter Mane jumps out of Teko's shadow back to the battlefield.
"...Huh?" Teko says, cocking his head to the side while feeding the Frosmoth another Sitrus Berry. "The reflected attacks should be getting sent back to her...Why isn't it working?"
"Your persistence will do you no favors, boy." Hyzan says. "Hit this abomination with Twin Beam." she commands the Farigiraf.
The Farigiraf's eyes and the ones on its "helmet" glow in unison, before both firing two zigzagging blasts of energy at once, blasting the Flutter Mane and knocking it back slightly.
"You got this, Rathian! Farigiraf are kinda squishy, I think...Let's try and one-shot it with Shadow Ball!"
The Flutter Mane charges up an orb of purple energy in its ribbons, then fires it, instantly knocking the Farigiraf unconscious.
"Hmph...Your reliance on this unholy power will get you nowhere, child...You're fortunate I decided to have mercy on you thus far. But..."
Hyzan slams her staff on the ground again, causing the battlefield to distort and swirl in more intense colors, as crystal fragments scatter throughout the sky. Her cloak ripples as if it's being pushed by wind.
"...That mercy ends now." she continues, summoning a Dudunsparce.
"Uh, did you think I needed your stupid mercy anyway?" Teko says.
"It matters not. Gyro Ball." Hyzan commands the Dudunsparce, which curls up into a coil and starts rolling towards the Flutter Mane.
"It's gonna try and jump towards you, Rathian! Dodge it and follow up with Moonblast!" Teko yells.
The rolling Dudunsparce springs up towards the Flutter Mane, but it quickly dodges. As it screeches to a halt behind it, trying to get its bearings, the Flutter Mane rapidly charges up an orb of pink energy, then fires it, producing a pink sparkling explosion on impact. When the explosion clears, the Dudunsparce has been knocked unconscious.
"A small setback! Worthless!" Hyzan yells, quickly summoning a Staraptor to replace the Dudunsparce. Several portals appear around the Flutter Mane. Hyzan swings her arm to the side, and the portals unleash several spears of light. The Flutter Mane nimbly dodges most of them, before getting slammed by one in the back, falling to the ground unconscious.
"...Huh...It's weird how that spear thing knocked back Rathian...Wouldn't it have just impaled them...?" Teko muses. "...Anyway. This whole thing started because of you, Rathalos...Time to finish this!" he continues, sending out a Roaring Moon.
"This cannot continue...Use Brave Bird." Hyzan commands.
"Counter it with Dragon Rush!" Teko yells.
The Staraptor flies up high before diving towards the Roaring Moon, tucking in its wings. As it hurtles downwards, its body is cloaked in a blue flame. Before it can hit, the Roaring Moon grabs the Staraptor in its mouth, brutally slamming it against the ground repeatedly. It tosses the Staraptor into the air before charging forwards, cloaking itself in a blue energy, then jumps up and collides with the Staraptor.
"Insolent...INSOLENT!!" Hyzan yells, summoning an Ursaluna.
"You...cannot defeat me. I am connected...to knowledge of all things! All forms! Though you may have fought hard for your pathetic life thus far..." she continues, ranting.
She removes the Tera Orb from the top of her staff, then throws it onto the Ursaluna, Terastallizing it into a Normal-type.
"...I condemn you and your dreams to Distortion!!" she roars.
Spreading her arms wide, she summons a massive portal high above Teko's head, causing the inside of her cloak to glow with several intricate patterns. A flaming meteor-like orb of light slowly emerges from it, causing Teko's jaw to drop upon seeing its sheer size. The orb hurtles towards Teko as he holds up the Frosmoth again, which coats itself in a sparkling multicolored film.
The orb engulfs Teko, the Frosmoth and the camera. The Focus Sash around the Frosmoth's neck breaks from enduring the stress of the move. Eventually, the two prevail, sending the light orb back towards Hyzan.
The orb of light crashes down on a spot next to the Ursaluna, producing a massive explosion. When the dust clears, the Ursaluna is unharmed, but the explosion sends flying an unconscious Hisuian Zoroark surrounded by a pulsating purple glow. Its form is flickering as if it were previously concealing itself.
"Wha...NO!!" Hyzan yelps.
The otherworldly battlefield flickers like a lightbulb, then vanishes completely, revealing the combatants to be in a completely ordinary large room, though battered and with several cracks on the floor from the battle. Several empty Poke Balls are strewn about on Hyzan's side of the battlefield.
"Wh...What in the...Did we even go anywhere...?" Teko says, looking around in confusion.
"No...No no no no no no..." Hyzan mutters frantically, running to check on the Hisuian Zoroark. "...Shit." she says, after trying to wake it back up to no avail.
A loud cracking sound can be heard from the floor, causing both Teko and Hyzan to freeze in place.
"...Uh oh." Teko says in anticipation.
Suddenly, the floor gives way, sending everyone tumbling towards the first floor of the warehouse.
Teko scrambles for his Rotom Phone in an attempt to slow his fall, and the process of doing so changes the music to "Fight Against Smithy, Who Likes Transforming - Super Mario RPG (2023)". The Roaring Moon yelps and swoops down to catch him. Once he lets go of the phone again, Hyzan can be seen screaming before having her fall broken by landing on the Ursaluna's muddy back as Teko and the Roaring Moon land safely on the ground. Her mask lands on the ground behind her.
The bottom floor of the building, with its true appearance revealed, is strewn with a bunch of benches and crates full of various items and Poke Balls. One of the benches has been crushed by the Ursaluna landing on it. The entire room is lit by the sparkling Ursaluna.
"Rrrgh...You....YOU...." Hyzan growls, her body trembling in anger as she gets up.
"Right. So are you gonna leave me alone now, or are you still angry at me for some reason?" Teko asks.
"YOU...RUINED...EVERYTHING." Hyzan snarls at Teko, turning around to face him. Her entire face is on display this time due to her mask getting knocked off in the fall.
"...What are you talking about? I mean, the battlefield thing was cool and all, but-" Teko says.
"MONTHS of training that stupid furball to stay invisible, all the time...training him to make his attacks look all big and imposing...all WASTED because of some selfish imbecile!!" Hyzan rants.
"...Okay, you're honestly scarier now than when you were acting divine and stuff..." Teko says.
"Heh...Heh heh heh...Y-you know...you know nobody can be allowed to know of this, don't you? When I'm done with you...you'll be lucky if your funeral is open-casket."
"...Well shit." Teko says, after gulping loudly.
She reaches into a crate and tosses one of the Poke Balls in it, sending out a Hydreigon.
"End. Him." Hyzan says to the Hydreigon, pointing at Teko with her trembling arm.
"Hey, that isn't yours, is it? ...Isn't you guys' whole thing being AGAINST Dark-types?" Teko says, grabbing hold of the Frosmoth in an attempt to dodge attacks by flying.
"Of COURSE it isn't!! Countless other people went through the same crap as you, you know...and I wanted their Pokemon for myself. But NOOOOO, you just HAD to be a special little CRYOGONAL!!" she screams, throwing another Poke Ball out of the crate, this one containing a Houndoom.
The Hydreigon fires a Dark Pulse at Teko and the Frosmoth, and they fly up, narrowly avoiding it.
"I messed with your friends, I tried to ruin your image, I tried to make your life Distortion, I even came in to smack you around a bit myself! But you just had to RESIST, didn't you!? You couldn't just lie down and take it like all the other suckers I marked for death. No, no, YOU decided to come here and fight me head on, because you have no sense of self-preservation...because you're so stupid, stupid, STUPID!!" Hyzan screeches.
"Wh...Was this whole shitshow...really because you wanted Rathian and Rathalos for yourself...?" Teko says, holding on desperately as the Frosmoth tries to evade the Hydreigon and Houndoom's attacks. "That is...disappointing." he continues.
"Oooh, what do you want, a cookie?! YES!! Why should YOU get them, you sorry excuse of a Champion-rank?! You're a complete IMBECILE!! I'm a much better fit for your two freaks than you are!" Hyzan roars.
"But what about the whole thing about Arceus and the Fallers and stuff, huh?!" Teko says, turning the Frosmoth to the left and narrowly avoiding a Tri Attack from the Hydreigon. "Aren't the Sons doing this for you?"
"Oh, do you think I HONESTLY care about those masked idiots?! They're so damn gullible, it's a wonder they don't trip over their own stupid sandals!" Hyzan screams. "All it took was a few illusions and some fancy getups, and suddenly I have them wrapped around my finger!!"
The Houndoom fires a shot of flames at the Frosmoth. It doesn't hurt Teko, but the Frosmoth is knocked unconscious, dropping Teko as it plummets out of the air. As soon as Teko drops onto the ground, the Ursaluna charges at him. However, the Roaring Moon tackles it away before it can reach Teko.
"Heh...Ahahahaaaah!! Man, you're a total LOSER! I can't believe I honestly thought you were a legitimate threat!! Ha ha ha!" Teko laughs, partially in relief.
"Shut up! SHUT!! UP!!" Hyzan yells.
"Nyah nyah! You can't even fight me without hiding behind a Zoroark! Ahahaha! Faker! Faker! Fakeeerrrr-" Teko cackles, hopping around the Hydreigon's Dragon Pulses with his finger and thumb in the shape of an L on his forehead.
"AAAAAAAAARGH!!!" Hyzan roars before lunging at Teko as the Roaring Moon and the Ursaluna fight each other in the background, biting and pawing at each other.
Hyzan manages to catch Teko and lifts him up by the front of his shirt. "JUST!! SIT!! STILL!! AND!! DIE!! ALREADYYYY!!!!" she screams, brutally slamming Teko against a wall repeatedly. Teko manages to use his Bag to slap Hyzan off of him, knocking her back into the crates.
She throws out several Poke Balls from the crates, containing a Trevenant, a Mismagius, and a Froslass.
The Roaring Moon and the Ursaluna collapse, both exhausted, after rolling around fighting each other for so long. The Ursaluna's Tera Jewel shatters as the three Ghost-types advance on Teko. His bag shakes, and a shiny Kingambit pops out as the sound of a Poke Ball opening is heard, materializing in front of Teko while assuming a defensive stance.
The Kingambit hops around in a surprising display of agility, deftly maneuvering around the Ghost-types' attacks while repeatedly slashing them with its horn and arms. Eventually, all three of them fall down, unconscious. The Kingambit turns its gaze on Hyzan next, but it's knocked unconscious from the back by a Fire Blast from the Houndoom.
"Heh...Hehhhh...Got...you." Hyzan pants, realizing all of Teko's Pokemon are unconscious. She slowly walks towards Teko, backing him into a corner while dragging her staff on the ground menacingly. Despite the Hisuian Zoroark's illusions being gone, her irises still seem to glow with rage in the gloom.
She picks up Teko by the front of his shirt again as he wriggles, trying to slip free.
"I think...you've forgotten something, kid. Here, I'm treated like a god." She raises up her staff as if preparing to bludgeon Teko, who braces for impact.
"You wanna see what gods do to dissenters?" she growls, a deranged grin plastered across her face.
Just then, a crowd of Sons of Arceus grunts, most of which consist of Hyzan's underlings, pile into the warehouse through the door Teko had broken open earlier.
"Consecrated One! We were looking for the Faller you told us to seek out. We heard his voice in here, and...we..." the Grunt in the front says, his voice trailing off as he notices the various wreckage and unconscious Pokemon in the room. Hyzan immediately drops Teko on the ground.
"U-uh...My followers, you have done well obeying my orders. But, uh, please leave me alone while I carry out this, uh...sacred ritua-" Hyzan stammers, quickly trying to think of an excuse.
"Why are there so many demonic beings in this room?" another Grunt asks, pointing out the various Ghost-types.
"Well, uh, I-"
"...Hey, isn't this supposed to be the place where you preach to these guys?" a "normal" Grunt asks.
"Uh, yes, but-"
"That one...That demon's one capable of creating illusions, isn't it?" another Grunt says, pointing at the Hisuian Zoroark. "Is it yours?!"
"What?! I'm chosen by Lord Arceus Himself! Why would I-" Hyzan splutters, raising her hands up.
"She's not denying it...Does that mean...YOU DECEIVED US, YOU BLASPHEMER!!" the Grunt in front roars.
"W-wait! That's not true! H-how DARE you question one with connections to the divine! I-" Hyzan stammers, clearly terrified.
"WE SHALL PUNISH YOU IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS!!" the Grunts yell in unison.
"...Oh, COME ON!! I MADE YOU, YOU DROOLING IDIOTS!! You owe the power you wield to MY influence!!" Hyzan screams as her own grunts close in on her.
Teko sneaks through the crowd of Grunts as various Poke Balls can be heard opening. "G-GET OFF ME!! YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECES OF-" An Ursaring roars, causing Hyzan to scream as Teko runs out of the warehouse, which now just resembles a normal warehouse on the outside. He grabs his Rotom Phone, flipping the assembly of Grunts a middle finger, and the video cuts out.]

guess I'm on weekly release now. ep 40 that must have been the most confusing battle for megumi. getting his ass kicking planning to get hit just so he can get another hit in and then his opponent stabs himself through the head. i was not expecting this much characterization from jogo. like usually you can tell which characters are going to be important based on how "cool" the mangaka makes their visual design and jogo looks like a normal flunky but he has a fully fleshed out character. sukuna and jogo are having a naruto style heart to heart wtf.
ah i wanna watching gojo go feral again what ep was that... ep 33 huh was it that far back? guess this whole arc is more about the fallout of gojo being sealed. damn yeah who animated that cut with the arm. the animation for this series really is top notch all around but especially the fights, i think jjk has cemented it's place as best animated fights i in any anime i have ever seen. satoru-chan is so manically happy to be fighting. wow this episode feels so much longer than it actually is.
41: well at least sukuna is having fun. and he took an interest in megumi, this can't end well for megumi.
I wonder why the author made jujutsu high be 4 years. for even 1st years its essentially on job training with them already being put to work. I do wonder how much schooling they're actually getting. and then narratively at this point there aren't even 3rd years and when i checked the wiki 4th year characters dont exist. and then with nanami leaving, originally i thought he then went to college but he's a lot younger than i initially though and most office jobs want more than highschool. so does jjk give you a university degree at the end? i know japan has 4 year universities but do they do 2 year associate degrees? just an all round weird decision.
i started out curious why people were mad about the sukuna fight and now im reading the manga i guess
yuuji: I don't need purpose i'm going to be a cog in the machine
huh itadori is actually choso's brother. huh. but the whole thing with the cursed womb fetuses was that they were never born. i dont know what is going on here. and why didn't choso recognize the stitches earlier. if brain dude is swapping bodies then the genetic material like gametes should be changing or is the implication that yuuji is also made from cursed energy/weird human experimentation. ... panda's right yuji really is attracting older brothers.
*squints* is that kazakstan????? when did kazakstan become a world superpower???? idk if its the translation but im having trouble understanding. kenjaku changed people into being more suitable vessals and to give non sorcerers cursed techniques? because that's not what the text says. then was does the remote activation do? and why did he need mahito's technique? it wasn't garunteed he'd be able to absorb mahito. i cant make sense of this.
poor megumi just got dragged headfirst into clan politics.
does the culling game apply to all cursed technique users or just ones brain dude implanted?
145: instrumentality??????? instrumentality. -_-
maki's new design is goated, love the sleeves. i like her more i hope she pisses off more men. i also finally noticed that meimei isn't wearing a dress, it's a tricked out onsie. i love that design
152. suguru was too pure hearted. see you can totally get away with mass murder you just need to play the politics game.
alright my curiosity is sated. not like i was watching jjk for the plot anyways.
powered by children lol. madoka level harvest negative emotion energy as a renewable fuel source.
i think i get why people were saying the zenin clan is kinda incest-y
huh is gege trying to say gojo taught sukuna about love.
so sukuna just ate his own mumified corpse's head, im getting that right?
Saw someone compare gojo to achilles (so geto would be patroclus?) And im mad i didnt think of that first
