spendin some time lately fleshing out dimensionswap AU Yugo's ace monster Shattered Wing and its evolved form, Perfect Wing. his big nasty radioactive beasts <3

plus a bonus baby Yugo, Mister Gets to See Duel Spirits In This AU over here 🥺

some commentary on the designs/better look at the card text under the cut!

SHATTERED WING:

SHATTERED-WING FUSION DRAGON EARTH Level 8 Dragon Fusion/Effect Monster 2700 ATK / 2000 DEF 2 EARTH Monsters on the field, except Tokens If this card is Fusion Summoned: you can target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses 600 ATK, and its effects are negated. During either player's Battle Phase (Quick Effect): target 1 monster on the field whose current ATK is different from its original ATK; destroy it, and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to the difference until the end of this turn. You can only use each effect of "Shattered-Wing Fusion Dragon" once per turn. Once per turn, during the End Phase, if this face-up card you controlled was destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect and sent to the GY this turn: You can banish 1 EARTH Machine monster from your GY; Special Summon this card.

I love this big freak. Basically just "what if Clear Wing couldnt fly but still didnt have legs." Massive lizard dragging itself after you. Fusion!Yugo's monsters do a lot of ATK modification--in my mind's eye Shattered Wing spears through an effected monster to destroy it with its Battle Phrase effect. Yugo's also got a bit of a persistence predator type motif, hence why Shattered can revive itself in the End Phase... you're not getting away from it that easily <3

PERFECT WING:

PERFECT-WING FUSION DRAGON LIGHT Level 10 Dragon Fusion/Effect Monster 3400 ATK / 2700 DEF 1 EARTH monster + 1 Dragon monster whose original Level is 7 or higher If this card is Fusion Summoned: the ATK of all other monsters on the field becomes halved. Once per turn, when an opponent's Special Summoned monster activates its effect (Quick Effect): you can negate the activation, and if you do, you can equip that monster to this card. Gains 600 ATK for each monster equipped to this card by this effect. If this card battles an opponent's monster whose current ATK is different from its original ATK, your opponent's cards and effects cannot be activated until the end of the Damage Step. You can only use each effect of "Perfect-Wing Fusion Dragon" once per turn. If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: both players take 1000 damage, then you can target 1 EARTH Fusion Monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

perfect wing... i love you perfect wing.... its wings are made of different chunks of glass haphazardly fused together, a reflection of Yugo desperately trying to jam square pegs in round holes and hoping something, anything, he can do will finally make him 'perfect' in the Professors' eyes. If he can just be perfect he can have more outside time. Faculty won't look at him like he's an animal. Everything will be ok...... :(

It spears monsters with its radioactive tail and drags them into itself, uses their powers to further polish its wings and begin to fly, until it's defeated and it crashes violently back to the ground, breaks all over again. You can't keep chasing perfection forever.

Design wise Perfect Wing is largely inspired by uranium glass <3 And nasty glowy radiation in general (its three little back 'wings' deliberately loosely resemble a radioactive hazard symbol when seen from above <33) And glass fusing!

finally got around to making an official design for his Pokémon Trainer AU :D!!!

twig Justyn makes his RETURN! and its the most colourful [by default, outfit wise] Justyn yet hehe

speaking of, i tried to make it so that his outfit was inspired by his team- but i'm terrible at fashion design, LISTEN I TRIED LOL its nothing fancy, i really love those kinds of trainer designs that references their Pokémon- but i also didn't want to deviate too far from Justyn's typical look either

ANYWAY, i'm so glad my Poké babies finally have a purpose x]

when i was thinking about who'd be on his team, i was like thinking about how each Pokémon could be representative of one of his other AUs- i.e. 404 [Porygon] refers to his Amongers/OG design; Zircon [Keldeo] refers to his normal Splatoon AU; Hayzel [Mimikyu/Deino] refers to either his Soul Eater AU or his evil Splatoon AU LOL not sure yet what Gummi [Cyndaquil] refers to, but mayhaps his SCR Splatoon AU

yayyyyy :33

the CATFA part of Flood is much, much closer to TBOSAS (film) (up through the Games, not afterwards) than the Avengers/CATWS part is to Catching Fire, which makes me happy because it activates the part of my brain that likes fitting puzzle pieces together to figure out where the two stories align and which elements from both CATFA(/AC) and TBOSAS can be moved around, kept as-are, or need to be dropped entirely because they're so unique to the original characters that they can't transfer? because yes, very, very loosely Steve=Lucy Gray, Peggy=Coriolanus, Howard=Sejanus -- but obviously that's not going to work as a 1:1 in most cases because all of these people have extremely different personalities than the TBOSAS characters. but even with the difference in premise (the biological experimentation), some elements from TBOSAS have to stay in, either because they're not going to be affected by the change or because I think they're essential to the story. but those elements get changed because the difference in characters and premise. and then there's lining up necessary elements from CATFA with necessary elements from TBOSAS: which serve the same thematic or plot purpose between stories? where (and with who) do I get to double-dip?

Steve's conversation with Dr. Erskine in Flood 2 is pulled from four different conversations: Steve and Erskine at the Stark Expo, Steve and Erskine in the barracks, Coriolanus and Gaul in the classroom, and Coriolanus and Highbottom at the end of TBOSAS.

The arena bombing (which has been mentioned in 1 and 2 and which we'll see in, I think, Chapter 4) is of course a necessary element in TBOSAS because it's the thing that shifts the entire format of the arena, but it also in TBOSAS has some other knock-on effects that are going to be adapted for Flood. what has the same thematic/plot impact in CATFA? Hydra's bombing of the Rebirth chamber and Erskine's assassination, so those two have to align, but obviously the knock-on effects are going to be different in-universe, even if some align.

There is one thing that I think is necessary for TBOSAS (up through the Games, not after) that there's no way to transfer to Flood in the CATFA timeline, which is Coriolanus and Sejanus in the arena. I thought about it, it's fine, that's actually necessary to not have in Flood for Peggy and Howard, because in Flood Steve is the main character, and in TBOSAS Lucy Gray is not the main character, Coriolanus is. They don't have to have this experience because the role they're playing in this story is different than that of the TBOSAS characters. They've got other stuff going on, but Howard specifically is never going to put himself into that position (and he's going to have other stuff going on); he might be (very very loosely) in the Sejanus Plinth role but he doesn't have all of Sejanus's other stuff going on that will create a situation where he would willingly go in there. (Even if Peggy would be a lot more willing to go in after him than Coriolanus is in TBOSAS, because of who she is as a character.) The closest equivalent to this is not in the CATFA part of the timeline, but in the Avengers part, with Tony, but he's the one Avenger that does not have even a very, very loose THG parallel. (HIs closest parallel probably actually is TBOSAS Coriolanus.)

3D printing method crafts stronger, more ductile alloy for extreme environments

A team of researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong University, Tianmushan Laboratory, and the National University of Singapore has pioneered a new method for crafting an ultra-strong, ductile alloy using 3D printing technology. This alloy—an oxygen-doped blend of niobium, titanium, and zirconium (called "NTZO")—was fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), a technique that applies rapid heating and cooling to produce metals layer by layer. Through this process, they've achieved a unique combination of strength and flexibility, making it an ideal material for the toughest environments, from aerospace to medical applications. Their findings were published in Materials Futures. Body-centered cubic medium-entropy alloys composed of refractory metals like NbTiZr are known for their remarkable strength. However, traditional fabrication methods often result in materials that are rigid and more likely to crack under pressure.

Is it really final fusion if there are parts that you're still keeping separate and disowning from yourself? These parts deserve to feel like they have a right to exist, that healing is possible for them and that they are not a lost cause. It isn't fair to call yourself final fused when these parts are being excluded from your recovery. Repressing trauma is not healthy and it isn't sustainable to do that forever. It would be healthy if you worked with them, held compassion for them, and helped work through their trauma beliefs with them. Sometimes to heal you need to be disregulated sometimes, because you're letting yourself finally feel the feelings, and they've been kept away for so long, naturally it will cause disfunction for a while.

Bro, you are assuming an awful lot off of an awful little combined with a lot of poor interpretations of that post. I also find it a bit rude and crossing some boundaries for you to be 1) telling me how my vulnerable parts feel 2) telling me that I dont know what >I< feel and 3) telling me how my vulnerable parts - both when they are operating seperate from me and fused with me - should be treated.

If you think you aren't doing that and are not encroaching on territory you don't know about (ie my trauma, my system, my recovery and my healing) then please, tell me the details about my vulnerable trauma holders that you seem to know more about than I do, because man, between being literally them and living 24/7 with them and talking with them for my entire life, I really thought I'd know them better than a random anonymous stranger online. Go figure. You learn new things every day.

Putting aside the honestly disrespectful breach of boundaries under the assumption its well intended, I will continue the rest of this post assuming you asked me about how the post on how we handle our vulnerable parts relate to our fusion rather than assuming and judging because I honestly think the question I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you MEANT is actually a really interesting one! Because it can be totally confusing how our system that does not actively engage and actively interact and actively force our trauma holders to go through trauma processing could POSSIBLY fuse with them.

(Actually I have to comment on a few points of confusion and disclaimer on this before I can fully just move onto the next topic in case there is some really strange miss understanding or reading comprehension issue that might make the interesting part of this response confusing if not addressed)

---

Confusion and Clarity Section:

To remove any potential confusion, I'd first like to state that it is "really" final fusion because they're literally me, I know what they feel, I know what they think and I know what they've been through. I can only write the post about how we used to handle things and how we operate now AND speak for those parts because I AM them like, genuinely and fully. Not even "technically them" I deadass AM them, so please don't assume I can't speak for myself and my own trauma and recovery. I know myself and my needs.

There isn't really a debate whether or not we are "finally fused" or what aspects of our life determine "final fusion" other than, you know *checks notes* the fact we literally operate like 75% or more of the time as a complete solid whole with little to no dissociation and honestly even these days, no disconnect between our identity beyond a general and standard IFS way of navigating complicated feelings.

Clearing up that odd comment on "really final fusion", I'm pretty sure you are referring to this post? And if so, I think you missed the part where we have always stated they are absolutely welcome to engage and hang out and we don't "lock them up" or repress them in any way or form.

Final Fusion & Our Sleepy "Dragons" / Trauma Holders

The post in reference discusses some of how a lot of our heaviest trauma holders and parts that have been extremely disconnected and dissociated from life for years actually don't regularly spend a lot of time near the front and our system / whole has STRONG rules against EVER forcing those parts to "recover" or process their trauma or "engage in the real world and life and exist" if they don't want to.

It's a concept our system didn't really understand and used to REGULARLY do the opposite of because of good intent and good will "these parts deserve to live and exist and they deserve to heal and be better and so they need to heal from their trauma or they will be forever suffering and they deserve better" and its something we spent over a year learning from one specific part in our system - a major trauma holder - that it is far far more HARMFUL than helpful and that A LOT of that good intent / good will interest in making parts heal came from a lot of 1) projection of me wanting to be perfectly healed right now and projecting that need for healing onto other parts and 2) very trauma-unresponsive, inconsiderate, and not respecting either the autonomy, individuality, or ability for those parts to speak for themselves and their own needs.

Trauma informed care, both internally or with other people, is built on a principle of respecting the traumatized individual and ACTIVELY listening to what THEY are saying and what THEY need and what THEY are experiencing. Often trying to push your ideals, your agenda, your recovery schedule and pacing and trying to push an individual to heal faster than they are ready, serves in small amounts of reinforce the idea that the traumatized individual can not make their own decisions, they do not know how they feel, they do not know whats best for them, they shouldn't have a say in how they are treated, and that they have to conform to another person's standards and heal correctly.

I would LOVE for those parts to come sit with us and talk with us for hours upon hours about trauma. I would LOVE fro them to cry and throw things and be in crisis. We actually get slightly excited whenever those parts are around and in crisis because it gives us an opportunity to support them, show them some coping skills, and help them learn that life is actually pretty okay. Some of our best and most happiest moments (on both sides) have been in those post-crisis where those parts have, for the first time in their entire life, EVER felt ANY support from ANYTHING or ANYONE and those moments are so warm, healing, and impactful on both the supporting and the supported end.

That being said, while our whole and our supporting parts would LOVE to be able to speed run those moments until those parts are completely comfortable existing immediately, that would require us to ACTIVELY make them suffer, feel pain, and relive their trauma when they otherwise would not have to.

These parts have COMMUNICATED to us, when they were more stable and when they were not, that they >do not< want to regularly be around the front and out because everything as it is is too much for them. They have actively asked us to let them rest and have extended periods of calm and peaceful sleeping when things are good so that they can have a break from chronic suffering.

Yes, if we dragged them out, made them process trauma, made them look it straight on, made them dysregulated, eventually they'll "get over it" and "get used to it", but that is only after EXCESSIVE pain as those parts are EXTREMELY prone to being thrown into deep and intense flashbacks. We COULD quickly desensitize them and get them used to life, but the quick method is honest to god cruel, inconsiderate, trauma-unresponsive, and arguably traumatizing to those parts.

Instead, we listen to what those parts have communicated and meet them where they are at in their recovery. Those parts have told us that they are in *peaceful* sleep when they are not triggered and that sleep / distance actually helps them process the sheer amount of stimuli and information that is required for them to regain some stability.

Of course, sometimes triggers come in our life that forcibly wake them up and they get thrown into flashbacks and thats okay! Not ideal, not fun, and I feel bad for them but its okay! Because while they are suffering deeply, they are also surrounded with SO many parts that are actively and intently here to support them, help them, show them the world, and help them develop an understanding for the present and coping mechanisms that are healthy.

And usually after we have helped calm them down, showed them around life and given them some time to enjoy and appreciate existence, they - in a good mood that is now regulated and calm - actively ask to go back to sleep because they are 1) tired and 2) have a lot of new things to process and anything more would be overloading.

And so we have parts - specifically Lin - who is good at holding the front and keeping them company while they fall back to sleep, much like a parent reading a kid a bed time story. It's a very healing and very helpful and trauma informed way of approaching, supporting method that respects the communication and feelings of the individual parts and minimizes the amount of unnecessary stress, triggering, and flashbacks for those parts.

And thats all when we operate as independent parts - which we mostly do when those parts need support because its easier for us to give them focused support when operating as independent parts than as a fused whole as it can be hard to utelize our coping skills as a fused whole when they're triggered. (Think of it like using IFS framework, but instead of parent part and inner child, they just have actual names)

As a whole, I don't "stop being those parts" or exclude them, I am still them and their traits are integrated into the whole. As a fused whole those parts can actually exist and engage in the world A LOT easier than as individual parts because they themselves don't have to be over active and the predominant part of the brain while the trauma they hold can really just remain sleeping in the back. As a fused whole they aren't "trauma holders that are sleeping" they are Feathers and their trauma that they held remains sleeping.

And as a fused whole, I don't think I have to be chronically experiencing and processing my trauma to be me, to be happy, or to be present. My trauma isn't my identity and I am not any less "existing" by not chronically living in my trauma.

As a fused whole I'm literally just Feathers. I got "brains" because I know where certain thoughts and feelings would have come from as individual parts, but like... I'm Feathers. I'm literally just fucking Feathers XD And I literally am those vulnerable trauma holding parts as well. And thank you for your concern, but as those vulnerable trauma holding parts, we're fine and honestly enjoying our life the way it is man.

If you are really that concerned about us, please check to make sure you aren't projecting your own struggles because if you are, please take care of your trauma holders and give them lots of love, support, patience and understanding and please don't rush them to heal faster than they need to.

(the pink is very much explicitly from an Evaline brain which is one of those heavily traumatized vulnerable parts; I am explicitly calling that part of this out because I am genuinely very fucking proud and surprised any of them actually wanted to voice anything for themselves and I am gonna reinforce that cause its awesome and I love that for them)

Hm? TDAC is getting AUs already?

Oh well, that means I can make AU designs of Flauford!

Freakshow!Flauford: An AI who makes up a side-attraction of abominable botany. His favorite kind of fertilizer is rotting meat. Also he smells like rotting meat. He's a walking rafflesia patch.

He's still as enigmatic as ever, though he's completely mute and his demeanor generally comes off as significantly more idly threatening, what with more eyes to stare at you with that never blink. Ever.

If you need to get something done with this version of Flauford, you get it done and leave. Otherwise, stay out of his garden. Who knows what he might do if you somehow annoy him...

Carnival!Flauford: A lesser AI who takes up a job as a maid and/or janitor! Whenever a game needs cleaning or a stain needs scrubbing, Flauford is on-the-spot for all of your cleaning needs!

This version of Flauford is far more polite and she actually blinks regularly! But still speaks gibberish - that only other AIs can decipher, no less.

Based on a sunflower, she's a little ray of sunshine for everyone to enjoy! Well, almost everyone. Fortunately, if a master or guest is being unruly, she does have one thing she can do - give the aggressor a sweet, lovely, absolutely paralyzing death glare. Works some of the time!

Freakshow AU made by @hootbon, Carnival AU made by @sm-baby! They are both cool and cool and cool and cool and c-
