Alright I’m gonna put my hat in the ring for the whole season 2 shenanigans.

Could murder drones have a season 2? Maybe

Do I want liam to do it? Only if he really truly actually wants to, no outside force, whether fandom or (though I doubt they would from what creators keep saying) glitch productions forcing him to do it, if he has ideas, and wants to do it, go for it, more crazy drone land galore.

Do I want a season 2? Hmmm…..oddly enough, Im unsure, mainly because of what a fucking gold mine it is for what ifs and bouncing off points for fan fiction, you have so much potential crammed into this world and “season 1” as it got called originally, is the PERFECT point of just enough character shown (even those shown less then I would have liked) amount to allow for expanding upon the characters, expanding on the characters personality’s, the base canon is the just that, THE BASE, use it as reference point, use it as a guide for the character, to understand their general character, and if you don’t understand them, ask fans of said character who have stayed up ANALYZING THEM! The world of murder drones is a “dumb thing that is fricking cool” if we are to use uzi’s own words.

Like LOOK AT IT. Earth’s destruction, the manor, the entirety of copper-9 aside from a few locations still being basically a fill in the blank that now has a solver symbol shaped hole in it! Use that land as you please, create lore, what other human settlements were there? What other experiments might have taken place? What potentially interesting things happened? Do other squads actually exist or was it a lie made by solver? Or were the other squads clones of the originals? Were they no name drones from the manor days, did they get given names, the story potential is RIPE here people!

I haven’t been this interested in things like this for a long time and each time I see someone point out a new detail, I get excited. And that’s not even covering crossover potential. Murder drones world is like an advanced level color it in book, it gives you such a vivid picture but you can color it in to bring it even more together.

Write that fan fiction, sit down at your own computer, open that google doc (or better yet ellipsus doc) pour your heart into it, im doing it myself for my own lil au idea I had, Im drawing up an oc and her own…power of sorts, its fun, its engaging, it gets the brain going.

And that right there, murder drones is a lovely piece of media I will forever enjoy, because there will ALWAYS be people to enjoy it as long as we the people who are fans of it make things for it.

Piccrews, songs (without ai), battle themes, art (digital or traditional) via a pen for either, or if digital, maybe you’re free-balling it with a finger or a mouse, it is a world RICH in potential and the fans should be excited as fan projects keep coming forth.

Also, personally it’s weird to see this whole…season two nonsense for a indie webseries. Especially when we want more creatives to do it at their pace when they are putting their heart into it, because the typical industry doesnt LET THEM.

And to liam, though I doubt you will see this. Thank you for creating this amazing world, take a break, and have fun doing whatever you make next or decide to relax after doing what you dreamed of. Thank you for making a series that a unmasked me is enjoying so much.

The Amazing Digital Circus x Alice in Wonderland au !! Part 1 - Refs

Have a crossover of mine I cooked up with the help of @kattanimates :3

Here’s the reference of Pomni and Ragatha !!

───── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ─────

Credits -

This au was made by me :3

The Amazing Digital Circus belongs to - Glitch

───── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ─────

Story lore part 1TM -

Here, the universe Pomni lends in truly is a mix of her original universe and Alice’s.

Basically, it has the same layout as Digital Circus’s, as in its a world hypothetical humans get trapped in, but ! It’s Alice in Wonderland inspired inside the game and as such the twos universe morals merges.

I’ll probably end up doing a plan of how the digi-land look !!

All the cast of TADC is here, but since Alice has much more characters, the story will adapt differently.

One interesting thing about this au is that, you get a ‘role’ when you enter this world, based on your basic personality traits, and how you’ll react to being stuck there. Usually there’s so many empty roles we end up finding a match for the newcomers, but !

Sometimes you end up having the same role as someone else ; I call it multiplaying. Which is what happened to Pomni n Ragatha !

Info -

• Pomni

- Very visibly not okayTM

- Eyes turns into clean spirals when confused !

- Her bells rings everytime she runs..

- saw her face in a pond’s reflection instead of a mirror ! :0

- Unlike in the og TADC where you choose your name, here you have to type it as you enter the world ! You can also randomize it, which.. is what happened to Pomni.

• Ragatha

- Optimistic101 + Subtle Stockholm Syndrome

- Is the self proclaimed one who introduce newcomers and can easily guide around Pomni since. You know.. same role.

- Favourite food to look at is tea.

- Cards stitched in her left eye.. who knows why ?

- Tries to stay positive, and is actually almost doing it !!

Indigo Play stuff

- Playtime Co as a reputable company is long defunct, but they are not out of the picture as an antagonistic force, and I'll leave it at that.

- When returning staff tried contacting other coworkers with the prospect of returning to a reformed and friendlier Indigo Park, Jackson responded with a selfie of himself flipping the bird in Las Vegas. And Dave Miller mysteriously vanished without a trace before they could spring this on him.

- The android mascots of Indigo Park were surprise commissioned by an out of state tech company called NewtBerry (an original creation of mine I plan to use in original works in the future; consider Indigo Play a preemptive fandom crossover AU), by which I mean the park hired them to help repair the park's aging power grid only to reveal after they got to work that they picked NewtBerry specifically because its founder was known to have created a soft-robotics companion in college who's advanced enough that they're recognized as a co-founder of the company, and Indigo Park wants to get Rambley and the other recently recommissioned AIs more sustainable forms. NewtBerry founder Dr. Alanasoff reluctantly agreed only because the AIs were already actively running as people in their own rights and deserved as much.

- There are less detailed robotic versions of the mascots replacing the cutouts in Rambley's Railroad, still running on prerecorded messages so the actual AI mascots can focus on their own areas.

- Salem got to be their own AI android, and they cause Problems On Purpose, but only on a minor scale. They are well aware that the park's revival failing would be bad for them. (They may or may not later on find a disillusioned feline starting to follow them around like a lost puppy. For spoiler reasons.)

- Rambley and Lloyd's relationship is somewhat less antagonistic by the time the park reopens, given a mutual understanding gained by then that the old executive board screwed Lloyd over as much as they did everyone else.

- Mollie's android body is built with a beak that's tough around the frontal areas and softer around the sides to move and emote, looking kinda like bird character beaks from DuckTales when they spoke. When park engineers took the design specs NewtBerry left behind of the park mascots to design the new Smiling Critters bodies, KickinChicken utilized the same kind of beak.

- Kickin and Hoppy were the usual correspondence between Playcare and Safe Haven in the years after the Hour of Joy. Kicken got his leg bitten pretty roughly by a Mini Maggie Mako during a supply run turned into an ambush and had to be treated back at Safe Haven. After his return as an android, he would gripe about this incident to the other present Critters for a little bit but quickly shut up after DogDay "casually" dropped what happened to his own legs.

- Bubba took advantage of the fact that they're all androids and an apparently abandoned project in the park servers to create a Virtual Reality server that androids of their design can link to to create environments based on the collective memories of those plugging in. The Smiling Critters' collective memories of Playcare were strong enough that it became a permanent "hub world" of sorts for the server, which earned its nickname "Virtual Playcare". The primary goal of this project was to pick at their suppressed memories of their human lives from before they were experimented on. I plan to make Virtual Playcare a plot point for multiple story arcs.

- After Rambley sees the Critters getting outfits, he asks Crafty if they could make something for him. He gets an old-timey train conductor overalls outfit. And loves it.

- DogDay knows "Ollie" was a trick by the Prototype purely because CatNap oh so casually dropped that bombshell on him in the middle of an otherwise unrelated conversation.

I love all of these, especially the first one!

I've been having thoughts about that...

UltraKill Crossover DLC Idea of mine

Story: During V1’s rampage throughout Hell, it discovers a machine not of it’s world. Upon interacting with the machine, V1 is catapulted into an alternate reality billions of years into the future, where V1 encounters the fate of humanity all altered under the whims of an alien species, the Qu. V1 now must fight through the Post Human and Alien Species to return back to its original world, and discover the history of how such beings came to be.

Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows!

I want V1 to smoke weed with the Killer Folk, right before it enters a gladiatorial arena and kills hundreds of them.

The Bear's legacy

The series finale has already been announced

I still think Sydcarmy will be endgame, of course. But most importantly, I also think that all Carmy said in this scene in regards to HIS LEGACY (because that's what he was talking about, not just legacy in general but his own based on what he learned from the legends that taught him well) is the clearest foreshadowing of what Storer has in mind to wrap The Bear up.

I say all of this now because I believe S4 will be the last one and after this S3 we were just served my mind keeps wandering to: HOW CAN WE GET OUT OF HERE?!?! HOW WILL STORER GET US OUT OF THIS. HOW WILL HE CLOSE THE OPEN LOOP HE LEFT US STUCK AT IN THE SEASON FINALE:

I already went over my idea of how the endgame for the entire series may look like here, before watching S3. But that was just an assumption (yet fully compatible with what I will elaborate on below).

These previous posts of mine, also tap into The Family tree concept and I suggest you check them out for context as well:

The tree

Found Family

What I think will happen in whatever way Storer wants to go about it is that even though The Bear, the restaurant will not go under, at least not as a result of this bad review:

Eventually, it might close its doors like Ever did (after getting 1 or more stars for Sydney), so Carmy can live and escape the prison of his own design that Richie mentioned:

Now, I'm prepared to make a formal prediction based on the script presented in ep 03x07 → Legacy, which I cross-referenced with LWTH.

And the parallelisms, which would take a way longer post than what I have time to make right now, all point in this direction:

The team will spread around the world/country to open their own restaurants/bakeries, etc. - This happens either in the post The Bear era or even if The Bear remains open.

Or in other words, like Storer Carmy said:

This will be the case for each member of the family:

And because the show is about "found family", they still find a way to remain together, even if at some point they go their separate ways to carry on with The Bear's legacy elsewhere as Carmy foreshadowed and just like Carmy carried on with Michael's at some point, which was the kickstart of the whole series.

Thus, it will be a full circle.

IMO, and this is unrelated to the book, The Bear will close its doors eventually or change its name and Sydney will open her dream spot, maybe where The Bear once was or elsewhere. Carmy will change careers and will crossover into other arts, such as painting. Let's not forget that he's already an artist of the culinary arts, so it will not be too much of a stretch. He seemed to have found his peace once in Copenhagen doing this and he keeps coming back to it, even now, as he hits rock bottom, he keeps turning to this type of art to try and cope:

He never seems to drift too far away from it.

I think this is where he's headed post The Bear. Back to his solace (which will include Syd too).

And this is what comes to mind → an Austenian happy ending for the entire family that was foreshadowed in 03x07 "Legacy".

The ending will be all about carrying on with Carmy's legacy or better yet, "Sydcarmy's Legacy", one way or the other. Kinda like this fic narrates here.

And I can't wait.

Bonus track: I hope they leave the door open to continue telling this story on the big screen, which if you didn't cheat and carefully read the Found Family context post I linked at the beginning, you now know was Storer's original idea for The Bear. This, unlike all I mentioned above, is indeed a stretch. But... a girl can dream.

Minecraft (2009)

Date: May 17, 2009 Platform: Mac / Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 Games Store / PlayStation Network (PS3) / PC / iPhone / iPad / Android / Windows Phone / PlayStation Vita / Wii U / Browser / PlayStation Network (Vita) / Xbox One / PlayStation 4 / Linux / Amazon Fire TV / New Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo Switch / Xbox Series X|S Developer: Mojang AB / 4J Studios / Other Ocean Interactive / Digital Eclipse Software, Inc. Publisher: Mojang AB / Xbox Game Studios / Sony Interactive Entertainment America / Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe Genre: Action-Adventure Theme: Fantasy Franchises: Minecraft Also known as: Minecraft Xbox One Edition / Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition / Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition Type: Crossover

Summary:

Minecraft is an open world, first-person, survival sandbox game, developed and published by Mojang. It was originally released in a pre-alpha state via the TIGSource forums on May 17, 2009, and was later hosted online for supported browsers before receiving a standalone release for PC, Mac, and Linux on June 30, 2010. The game would officially exit its Beta version on November 18, 2011, although major updates continue to be released. Since August 2011, a number of ports of the game have released for consoles and mobile devices.

Presented with a unique low-resolution "voxel" aesthetic (where everything is shaped using cubes), the game allows players to interact with a variety of different "blocks" in a procedurally-generated world. Along with both resource mining/gathering and item crafting (hence the game name), the game features exploration (with multiple biomes and locations), combat, and construction. In addition to the standard "Survival" mode, the game features a "Creative" mode that allows players to design environments with an unlimited amount of blocks at their disposal and no survival elements. The game supports online multiplayer and later supported numerous content packs (including new world/block textures and player skins, many of which are cross-promotions with other games and franchises).

Originally created by indie developer Markus "Notch" Persson (whose roles were later taken over by fellow indie developer Jens "Jeb" Bergensten), Minecraft was ported to numerous smartphones (originally known as Minecraft: Pocket Edition) and consoles (originally known as Minecraft: Console Edition, with the "Console" in the name being replaced by the console's name). On September 20, 2017, the game received a major "Better Together" update that merges the smartphone version with some console versions (including Windows 10, Xbox One, and later Nintendo Switch) together for a single multi-platform version (known as Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, with the original computer versions renamed to Minecraft: Java Edition) with all features accessible (including cross-platform multiplayer). Alternate editions include a multi-platform version for use in classroom settings (Minecraft: Education Edition), a cut-down version for small RaspberryPi microcomputers (Minecraft: Pi Edition), and a multi-platform version for use in China (Minecraft China).

The game has received a number of spin-offs, including the 2015 adventure game Minecraft: Story Mode (and its 2017 sequel), the 2020 dungeon crawler Minecraft: Dungeons, and the augmented-reality mobile game Minecraft Earth. As well, Minecraft's procedurally-generated sandbox elements would inspire many other games, in both 2D (such as Terraria and Starbound) and 3D (such as Dragon Quest Builders and LEGO Worlds).

Sonic's 32nd Anniversary (2023)

So, I made this piece two years ago, for Sonic's 32nd anniversary. I figured, back then, it would be fun to gather up all of my Sonic stories and draw them all, and finally do them justice, and this was the result. A hand-drawn, colored pencil nightmare that took me a whole month to finish, but finish I did. If you wanna know more about all of these hogs, keep reading! These anniversary posts will double as my official Sonic AU Masterpost. They're my babies.

So. Quickly going over the tag-scheme. Some of these stories are retired. I will not be writing them. They are referred to as Relics, and are tagged by their names instead of the names of the story.

Some others are entirely original alternate universes. As in, something like a high school au might be. They have (sth au) added to them.Most others are based off of my main Sonic AU: Chaos Tears. Most of my stories are set in this AU and branch off from each other at various different points. A lot of What If scenarious, essentially. They either have (sth), are structured like ____!Sonic (meaning I either don't have a name for the story yet, or that it's just an AU made for fun), or have nothing added. Got it? I hope you do! It's list time! 1. Chaos Tears: Sonamy. As my first ever Sonic story, it was an absolute mess. I won't even sugar coat it. That Sonic is a Mary Sue, and his name in a past life was Jack. It's stuck. This was a story built on the misguided belief that all stories had to include romance. With no plot and far too many ideas shoved into it (including but not limited to: being part demon, part god, part vampire, part werehog, a cyborg, and at one point demon king), it was a mess, but I'm endeared. You can still talk to Jack! As a Relic, you can send him questions! He'll answer them.

2. Cursed Heroes My Cuphead, Sonic, and Bendy crossover. (Fun fact: used to include Astro Boy!)

3. At Your Core My Sonic and Astro Boy crossover. (Fun fact: used to include Cuphead and Bendy!)

4. Cyborg An old story of mine exploring a world where, as a young child, Sonic was partially robotized. They hid it from their friends until Eggman found out, and upon their secret being revealed, they were left by their friends and captured by Eggman. Their story ended before they were freed. Cyborg is a Relic! So you can ask them any questions you want. They might take a bit to answer (always nose-deep in work) but they will eventually.

5. Twisted A story based off of Sonic.exe, Sonic fell ill with a disease which was appearing around the globe, and had no known cure. G.U.N. convinced his parents to let them take him, to do research, to see if they could find a cure. However, they opted instead to use him for experiments, and then when there was a breach in their facility, left him abandoned. His story ended before anyone could rescue him. Twisted is a Relic! So you can ask him questions, but be gentle. He has bad days often, and if he's not up to answering, Jack may do so in his stead. 6. Crystal The lemonade-entrepreneur! Crystal's story is long, and honestly deserving of a post of its own, but the gist is: a freak accident gave all of Sonic's classmates powers. But as the catalyst for the accident, he didn't get any, and was ostracized from the rest of the class. This didn't deter him, however, and through ingenuity (and the surprising late onset of his own superspeed) he formed an alter-ego to protect the city, just like his classmates did. His story always ended on a high note, after his debut and first victory as a hero. Crystal is a Relic! You can ask him questions, and he'll be more than happy to answer!

7. Sophie Sonic, but as a girl. Her name? Sophie. She gained her speed through tech instead of powers, but none of this makes her any less threatening. Really, her story is the same as Sonic's. Sophie is a Relic! You can ask her questions, and she'll answer gladly.

8. Interdimensional You can actually check out Interdimensional's story here! And who knows, learn a bit more about all of us in the process :D (Also, Interdimensional occasionally stops by, so he can probably answer questions as well!)

9. Lightning This one came to me in a dream. The idea of a world were heroes were frequently any species but mobian, and Sonic's struggle to fit in with heroes who don't exactly believe he can be amongst them.

10. Host A story in which Sonic became the unwilling host to a deity of lightning and youth. His story ended long before he could find out what this deity wanted, aside from revenge on Eggman. As such, the deity, Evermoon, generally just lingers with Host. They can both answer questions! If you call on Host, Evermoon might butt in, but you can also ask for Evermoon specifically.

11. Dragon-Like Dragon-Like was a twice-failed attempt at a HTTYD and Sonic crossover. He was a boy from a medival village, cursed by a witch for his attempt to steal a dragon, turned into a half-dragon because of that. During a dragon raid on the village, the dragons mistook him for one of their own, and took him to the archipelago where our familiar Vikings resided. He wound up bonding with a Sea Fury (made up just for this crossover. Quaint, no?), whom he named Evermoon. Don't get confused! His story ended before he ever got to know anyone well. Dragon-Like is a Relic! You can ask him questions! He's usually with Evermoon.

12. Purelight My Sonic Magic/Wizard/Witch AU. (Originally inspired by an unfortunate book series, if you were wondering, but it's different enough and technically has no relation to it and its own separate world building, so we're saying its unrelated and moving on)

13. Riordanverse!Sonic Like the title says! A Sonic crossover with Rick Riordan's wonderful mythological book series.

14. PsyChlo The "Everything Went Wrong" AU. Inspired by a What If of Tails never meeting Sonic, it's the opposite: what if Sonic never met Tails? Feel free to ask me about this one, as I don't think I'll ever write it down, but I have a general idea of how this change affects the series' events. It's a sad one. If you ever want angst in doses, this is a good way to get it.

15. Beyblade Burst Chaos A Sonic and BeyBlade Burst crossover story! Set after the events of the Metal Virus arc, Sonic winds up in the world of Beyblade Burst instead of the Sol Dimension. Shennanigans, of course, follow.

Also 15. Pokemon: Chaos & Order So. 2020. The pandemic hits. And I have nothing better to do than binge TV shows and write fanfic. I wound up binging Pokemon Sun and Moon on Netflix, and this story is what spawned from it. Similarly being a spin-off of the end of the Metal Virus arc, Sonic wound up in the Alola region, and was found by the Tapus, who... kinda adopt him? Hoard him? Get very protective of him. A few shenanigans here and there... and Sonic wounds up turned into a pokemon just like them. Tapu Nara. His story never got further than that. Nara is a Relic! You can ask him and his Riolu questions!

16. Princess Born from a joke where I accidentally said Princess instead of Prince when referring to Sonic, this is a silly AU were Sonic and friends get tossed into another world, and Sonic wounds up as a princess. Finding the royal lifestyle stuffy, he runs away, but the king promises his hand in marriage to whoever can bring him back. Hilarity ensues. Feel free to ask about this AU! I don't have that many concrete ideas, but he is fun to draw.

17. Animaly A Sonic story, inspired by the Simon Thorn book series. Aka, lots of animals, and shapeshifting involved, with a healthy dose of found family, although, not quite in my usual fashion.

18. End of the World My Sonic zombie apocalypse AU, concieved before the Metal Virus and not inspired by any particular piece of zombie media. Somehow.

19. Omega Strikers!Sonic Made as a gift to my sibling, it's Sonic, but helpfully tossed into the Omega Strikers world. There's a vauge idea that he's threatening Rasmus in his spare time and being adopted by Drek'ar on the side, but not much story figured out beyond that.

20-24. Internal Turmoil Sonic, but a glimpse of what his emotions would look like, when put through the lense of Inside Out! Surely, someone as cheerful as Sonic T. Hedgehog, Hero of Mobius, has a shinning source of joy behind the wheel.

25. Vengance Eggman has retired, and a new villain has taken his place, one ruthless and with more ambition than Eggman ever seemed to have. Our heroes are faced with a challange like no other.

26. Trinetale My Sonic Undertale crossover, here to satiate the drought! Well. Eventually. Not here quite yet.

27. Two Motes of Golden Light My Sonic Frontiers Fix-It series! You can read it and get a nice big helping of Sonic angst right here!

28. Phantasms An AU were creatures known as spirits roam the world, controlling aspects of it like the weather, the ocean, nature and its animals. And a bit of a role swap AU, as Miles Prower finds young mortal hoglet when he gets stranded in the mortal realm.

29. Ocean's Blessing Part of what I call my "let's see how much angst, trauma, and new forms we can shove in this bad boy (sonic)" series, a story inspiried by a dream, where Sonic wounds up stranded in the ocean, alone, with a tight deadline, and trying to reach the south pole before he runs out of time.

30. Hate is Purple as Well The story that might, unironically, be my magnum opus. A Sonic and FNAF crossover, but I lost most of the pieces of the FNAF lore when trying to get it together into a feasible shape. Definitely an AU. But definitely the best I have to offer. Hopefully? Coming soon. This one will get its own blog, there is no way I can do it justice otherwise.

31. Chaos & Ink My Sonic and Bendy crossover AU. A good while in the making, uniting two childhood obsessions of mine.

32. Chaos Tears My main AU, which most of these stories branch off from. Pretty canon, on the surface. But is there more than meets the eye?

Okay!! That would be all! Good grief! I'll hold you no longer, star shards. I hope you enjoy your stay in The Library!

Welcome, all!

I’m Meagan, aka Winged, and I’ve been kicking around the Narnia fandom since 2008! In addition to writing for random other fandoms over the years, I’ve recently fallen deep into Danny Phantom.

General information + things of note

This is a HIGHLY canon divergent blog! The crew has been massively expanded upon in lore writing, and contains many, many personal headcanons and story beats!

This blog is massively open to crossovers, Original Characters, original WORLDS and just about whatever else Tumblr can throw at it.

Captain is a tired old man, with a very long life behind him, and a hell of a long mission ahead of him. He contains multitudes, and will likely surprise with responses!

Captain is very close to a few of his crew members, hand picked for the mission and all. When he got wind of the ship being used, and the sort of mission this was, picking his crew became part of his agreement to leave retirement over it.

The story here takes place in a time loop, the same mission over and over. Captain remembers loops, thanks to some peculiar items

THIS BLOG IS PRE-SOTS

First things first: the origins.

On the original version of my first fanfic I ever made, and why I decided to redo it 8 years later. So. Context. Pokemon Opal and Garnet (2016) is the first fanfiction I ever made. It's technically a crossover fanregion fic set in a region created by me with Pokemon created by me, but I use "crossover" extremely, extremely lightly. Technically, it was entirely new, but 5 of the main mons were named after (and of those 5, 4 were based in part on) characters from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is my all-time favorite Disney movie if not my favorite movie period. Given that it was my first ever fanfic, it is a mess. It is rough around the edges, and by god it shows. Among the many things in the first fanfic I ever wrote: HOND references like crazy, blatant Element of Harmony expies in the form of the 14 virtues (more on them later), a blatant Trump allegory, my first time writing a court scene, and a French anthem performance straight out of Casablanca. This was back in the Cringe Old Days (TM) of 2016 when the word "subtlety" was not in my writing vocabulary, when I did not know what "character arcs and development" were, and when I genuinely believed that fanfic sites would automatically send their copyright bots out to companies so that they could sue you out of your minds if you dared put non-public-domain song lyrics into your fic. After a while I stopped updating the fic out of boredom, writer's block, and distraction due to a bunch of other things entering my brain (oh hi, something called the "Dutch language"! Oh hi, fanmade musicals!). But the original fic still exists today and can be found. I plan to one day delete my fanfic.net account, though, and with it all the original stories, but you needn't worry-- the original Opal and Garnet can still be found on Lake Valor; all 20 chapters of it. After that, life went by. I joined We Are All Pokemon Trainers, where I met people who are numerous friends of mine, and, more importantly, learned how to actually create character arcs, developments, lore, and backstories. It was an incredible experience for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. I went to college and graduated; I had an extremely long period of health anxiety... and in my last year of college, in 2024, I decided to look over my first ever fanfic and figure out what worked and what didn't. Two things from the fanfic-- the PokeLatin language and Orwell the Newspeak-speaking Crawdaunt-- made their way into WAAPT, albeit the PokeLatin language became the Poipolian dialect of UBese and had tons of tweaks done to it. This was also the year after the Disney company celebrated their 100th anniversary. And given that, the fact that many HOND references were made in the original fic, and the fact that TV Tropes erroneously labeled it a crossover because of those references, I ended up deciding "screw it, I am leaning into the Disney angle and I am leaning into it hard". Cue the creation of the Gisnep company (I'm not kidding, that's actually what it's called) and by extension, the Gisnepverse, which consists of Opal and Garnet (2024) and the WAAPT continuums. (I retired from WAAPT and branched each of my characters off into their own seperate stories.) The next post I make will delve into the lore surrounding the Gisnep company and its differences from its real-world analogue.

OKAY SO PXS INFO DUMP

Canon!

The crossover takes place at like the furthest point in the timelines thus far; pretty much Everything is Canon save for prior crossovers like CN:PTE and S&SASR (so no MultiVersus sadly, even tho the Girls have already leaked LOL)

PPG:DP and 2016 are "Soft Canon"; they happened, but like in a "broad strokes" sense; the Girls never met Donny or Allegro from PPG 2016 for example, and the Professor doesn't have that stupid origin story from DP LMAO

Sonic 4 never happened 'cuz we didn't get a third episode; that's like one of the only non-crossover things to be non-canon to PXS

Main story

The Chaos Emeralds have been found in Townsville, and pretty much all of the villains are after them (the important ones, at least); the very beginning is more or less 1-to-1 The PPGs Rule in the sense that the Emeralds are these big, powerful shiny things that, if you have them all, can let you rule the entire world

Eggman ofc hears about the Emeralds landing in Townsville and decides that none of the Townsvillains are worthy of handling the Emeralds, going ham on them all and basically saying "back off, these are mine"—that's when the Girls spring into action

In terms of fighting Eggman, tho, the Girls are out of their depth since Eggman is much more dangerous and crafty and can easily counter every attack they throw at him (what with his 300 IQ and all), and that's when Sonic shows up and he's like "yo, Egghead" and he just toys with him XD

As Sonic is helping the Girls fight Eggman, most of the Townsvillains get away with the one Emerald they managed to steal, save for Mojo who gets the blue Emerald yanked out of his monkey paws, first by Eggman and Metal, then by Sonic and the Girls (who end up running away with the Emerald in the end)

Both frustrated with their failures, Mojo and Eggman realize that they have a common goal in mind and form a (mostly uneasy) truce, something that Eggman's daughter Sage has reservations about; this is the point where the crossover starts to become more of its own thing and less of a PPGs Rule retread

From here, the crossover is a race against the clock to get the rest of the Emeralds back from Eggman, Mojo, and the Townsvillains before Townsville is completely devastated by the Emeralds' immense, infinite power, with characters gradually dropping in to join the fun :3

I have more in mind that I've put up onto a Google Doc, but bleeehhhhh just writing this out was tiring enough ^^;

Hope you enjoyed all my ramblings XD

tfw you have two different hyperfixations going on at the same time and it's your own fault

@arcvmonth Day 18: Different Dimension Day

Look, I'm a sucker for AUs, especially when it comes to Arc-V so I've got plenty of aus revolving around this silly show, but I'm going to show a few favorite of mine

Side Note: Sorry for the horrid spelling and grammars, english is not my first language and for the most part, the cringey ass AUs I have in mind and I am 100% not a writer, just me sharing some AUs :) but I appreciate it if someone made fanart or fanfic abt :')

Two Worlds Apart AU

Premise: When a group of researchers receives a mission from their (now deceased) commander, they nestled their based in a planet full of wonders and mysteries, meeting new faces, teaching them the way of their people as they try and attempt to find figments of their past and live together with the locals.

Basically Magical Fantasy (Arc-V crew bcus all aus that surrounds this series has been magical fantasy) meets Sci-Fi (aka crossover with my original story, A Prismarine Story), or at least how I interperet it

Theres going to be cosmic horror thats lurking in the background and basically the reason why the APS group are satelliting the planet the Arc-V group are living in

The Cards Has Bodies In Them

Premise: A mysterious deck has recently been re-surfaced and was brought in by the local city museum in Maiami City with legends surrounding it as the "Flesh Deck", with how brutal its effect damage is to its opponents. Despite being heavily contained in a vault before its initial public debut, a thief manages to steal such treasure to use it in the Arc League Championship, but such a shameless act would cause the thief his own life and body.

Yuya had recently recovered from all of the Zarc Stuff, or that's what his best friends called it, and is adjusting to a new life back in Maiami City. Before things took a more sinister turn as he discovers an old yet dangerous deck.

Inspired by Vita Carnis and Jonh Carpenter's The Thing cus it fits the fleshy-theme here :)

The first idea that has popped up to my head was, "What if there's a deck that inflict effect damage but instead of using magic nor tech from the monsters, it inflict alien-thing-like damage? Like it actually sucks out your flesh and turns you into a monster card?" I call them the "Rhen-Dharmas" (couldnt think of a better name lmao)

The thief in question is NOT Yuri, Leo, Roget, or the Doktor, it is someone new

And the last thing was it should be presented in an analog horror style

The Curse That Will Never Be Unfold

Premise: A young boy from a small village was cursed by the God of Destruction himself after failing to bring joy to the audience, who thirst for brutal and violent acts. Because of this, in times of desperation, the boy will transform into a hideous beast capable of ending a human's life away with little control whatsoever. With little time left before he'll forever live with it, the boy must find the God of Destruction's sister in order for his curse to be gone, or should he?

Inspired by @1apple-fox1's Rage and Regret AU

Another crossover AU of APS and Arc-V (cus the main character of APS, Coralline, is inspired by Yuya and Zarc's design and powers lol)

Demon!Yuya centric, there's going to be moments of Yuzu going ballistic over her (definitely not/j) boyfriend cus people want to kill him for being a demon with no reasons or second thoughts, and forest spirit (Spoiler Alert! OC name drop?) Maria being a menace

It is all Hurt/Comfort here and there

[thiawen]

Since I’ve asked about challenges recently, I wanted take a minute to talk about my favorite challenges that I follow. (Though I confess I have yet to participate even though I’ve followed them for years. Someday, damnit.)

These are all multi fandom events that are free for everyone to follow and participate. I highly recommend them.

First up: Evil Author Day

EAD is an annual event that occurs every February 15. It’s where authors post any of their Works In Progress for people to get a peak at and enjoy. Here’s the evil part - there are no promises attached to these snippets. The author may never get back to it. There may never be more than what you see or they may finish it next week. It’s read at your own risk. Seriously.

Jilly James maintains a masterlist of EAD participants that can be found here:

This goes back to 2015 and it’s still going strong. I encourage anyone who wants to participate. I’m thinking of doing so myself this year. When the time comes, you can drop a link to Jilly and she will add you to the masterlist.

Next: Quantum Bang

Quantum Bang is a Big Bang Writing Event and the theme is fix-it fics. It’s been going for a few years now and I love it. It’s too late for anyone else to participate this year but posting begins in June for anyone who wants to see this years offers. They also maintain an archive of previous years if you want to check it out. There are some absolutely amazing fics there and I highly recommend it.

You can find the website and archive here:

You can sort the archive by years, fandom, genre, author and artist. Very convenient.

Next: Rough Trade

Rough Trade is a multi fandom theme challenge. There are three challenges a year in April, July, and November. It’s technically two themes at a time and you can do one or the other or both. Whatever you want. The challenges for 2023 will be as follows:

April: Crossover / Found Family

July: The Sentinel / Natural Disaster

November: Magical World / Second Chances

You can check it out here:

You have to become a member to dig deeper into the site but anyone can sign up and subscribe.

Last: The Big Moxie

The Big Moxie is another multi fandom themed challenge but I think its a little more flexible than Rough Trade. Here are the Rules:

1. Minimum 5,000 words count (no maximum)

2. Any fandom (no RPF)

3. No limit on the number of stories

4. Only unpublished works qualify

The Big Moxie is a quarterly challenge. It’s too late to sign up for the first quarter this year but here they are:

Q1 - Inexplicable Babies

Q2 - Fusion/Crossover

Q3 - Friends to Lovers

Q4 - Time Travel

You can also find the To Every Season Challenge on this site. It’s a seasonal theme challenge that I’m sure a lot of people would enjoy.

Unwritten fic update: ATLA + Godzilla: “The Ancient World”

So I've been looking over unwritten fanfic I shelved, and one I often revisit is called The Ancient World, which is the result of me wanting to do a crossover adapting Godzilla and other monsters into the world of ATLA and LOK.

I wrote an older post on The Ancient World back in December, but since then I often revisited the story. Even wrote a draft for the first chapter. The original post is here.

I also had Korra based sequel, Age of Rebirth, which evolved into a crossover with the Star Wars sequel trilogy. I wrote a post for it, but I'm giving it a rewrite since the original post was over 8000 words.

It's not even the only Godzilla crossover I had in mind; I wrote ideas down for one with The 100, and another for Game of Thrones. Both of which The Ancient World took cues from.

Anyways, since I've been doing some revising and revisiting of The Ancient World, I thought I'd give it a follow up post based on these revisions. Much of the story and character arcs remain the same, but here it's expanded by more worldbuilding, character arcs, and a few OC's I had in mind.

----

Summary: Taking place a few years after Avatar The Last Airbender. The United Republic began international mining operations in the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes, as society progresses with early technological advancements. When they dug too deep, they uncovered the remains of an ancient civilization lost to time, and regarded as myth. When dug deeper, they awaken Titans - beasts of these myths, that brought “The Ancient World” to an end, and may do the same to the current one.

One such the Titan known as “Godzilla” decimates the Water Tribes and makes his way to and through the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdoms. Another is a weakened and wounded dragon fleeing the wrath of Godzilla. Quickly showing its own spiritual power, communicating with humanity, introducing itself as Ghidorah, a claiming to be "guardian" sent to protect the world from Godzilla. Too weak to do much of anything (save for destroying a vast cabbage field), Ghidorah is seen as harmless by the general populations, who rally behind him as the only one who can stop Godzilla.

The leaders of the Water, Fire and Earth Kingdoms elect to throw their armies to face Godzilla until such a time Ghidorah’s power is restored. While Aang, his Team  and a small band of Kyoshi warriors, seek out the secrets of these monsters and try to find the way to put a stop to them with as little bloodshed as possible, Zuko is pushed by the other leaders, prioritizing the threat of Godzilla and a militant approach to deal with them. During an initial encounter with Azula and her followers out at sea, Godzilla attacks the expedition, getting them stranded on "The Uncharted Lands".

Between Ghidorah’s growing power, and the hero’s isolation, people on both sides find themselves going down the rabbit hole, learning of the Ancient World, and the monsters that brought it to an end in a bid to save their current one.

----

First off, let’s get this story’s main ships out of the way; Kataang, Maiko and Tyzula.

Out of the Godzilla timelines, it's mainly based off the Monsterverse, but there's nods to other and continuities.

1. "What is the Ancient World and what is the lore behind it ?"

If you haven’t guessed by the title, the twist would have been the titular “Ancient World” was our Earth. That and the recovery and reverse engineering of old technology explains the advancements seen in Legend of Korra. The “Ancient World” fell to an apocalyptic event known as “The Final Wars”, which would would have occurred a century or two before Wan’s time as civilization collapsed, and excessive radiation and mutation caused the animal hybrids.

The ATLA world would be revealed as the result of ten thousand years of rapid climate and geographic change, with the age of science giving way to the age of mysticism; some Titans show a supernatural and spiritual aspect to them, such as Mothra and Ghidorah. The Lion Turtles would be an example of such Titans. Mothra for example, would have the ability to enhance one's power.

What is currently known as “The Water Tribes” was once Alaska, and Northern Canada. “The Fire Nation”, was once Eastern Asia and Eastern Europe. “The Earth Kingdom”, was once South Asia.

The "Uncharted Lands" refer to any country/continent/region unexplored on ATLA/LOK’s map.  For example, the lands explored in this story were once the province of Ontario and New York state.

The Water Tribes were once Alaska, Greenland, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Yukon, Nunavut, and the North-West Territories. 

The Fire Kingdom was once Japan, Korea, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, North China, Far East Russia, South and Central Russia, and the Ukraine.

The Earth Kingdoms consist of India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, South China, Tibet, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam.

As people and civilizations of these lands ? Think the Grounder's from The 100, or the tribes in Horizon Zero Dawn, and you’ll know what I'm going for. This is something carried over from Welcome to The New Age, when I wanted to crossover with The 100. They have a Clan system similar to The 100, and one of the OC's is called "The Commander", who is Lexa in all but name.

Despite mysticism and spirituality seeping back into the world after "The Final Wars",  these people live more mundane and down to Earth lives. Bending isn't prominent among these people. They know of Bending, but they generally lack it themselves, usually reacting with curiosity and wonder when they see it.

While the Ancient World’s are more obscure "myths" to the Three Known Nations, they're a lot less murky to the Uncharted Lands and their people; in fact they still find bits and pieces of "old world technology", which they try to recreate. As such, they have more knowledge of the Ancient World, and a more objective version of the Final Wars in their mythology. To the Three Nations, "Final Wars" myths vary; to the Uncharted Lands, there are a few variations but the constant was Godzilla was usually the "hero", while Ghidorah was always the villain.

As for this stories OC’s ? There's the Commander (again, a Lexa expy), though she isn't that prominent or involved. When her people first uncover Aang and Azula's parties, she has them brought before her to explain themselves. Discovering their Bending, she offers both parties places to stay as guests; not of her "palace" of course, but at a massive ranch that serves as her "palace's" main food providers.

The ranch itself is owned by a powerful family, that all but runs a community of servants. There's really not much to go about with them; narratively, they have no purpose except for giving the protags a place to stay, as well as an exploration of their culture. Though Aang and co (including Azula’s party) do sometimes end up doing a few chores for them during their stay, which includes helping taking care of a servant's baby, while said baby's mother is sick.

The only “major” OC would be Shirio, a minor Fire Nation noble, and foil to Kei Lo from Smoke and Shadow, but we’ll cover him in character arcs. 

2. Monster and Human interactions

Another thing I came up with was “Channeling”, in which a person (usually a bender) can soul-bond with a Titan through meditation.  A Titan can be telepathically/empathetically linked to a human, some verbally communicating through them. This is something taken from Toho, with the Heisei character Miki Saegusa having a psychic link to Godzilla; and the alien possession from Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster.

For example, Katara accidentally “Channels” Godzilla at a few points, starting when she and Aang meditate together. It is through this, the protagonists get more of an understanding of Godzilla, vice versa as he interacts with them through Katara. It's shown that Godzilla has a marginal understanding of human emotion, but human culture and etiquette are so beneath him, they leave him utterly baffled. His attempts to comprehend customs - be it dancing at a wedding ceremony, or sitting down to have some tea - are often Played For Laughs.

Katara and Godzilla's "bond" is partially based off of Miki Saegusa. At first you'd think that there'd be a "Brooding Boy/Monster Bonds with a Gentle Girl" but no; Godzilla is surprised (and amused) to see that, caring as she is, Katara will choke a bitch. Between the two, Aang's the more "gentle".

But strong enough Titans don’t need consent to “bond” others. For example, Ghidorah, nearly crippled for two thirds of the story, relies on “channeling” to beg for human assistance. He can’t do much of anything beyond destroying a cabbage field where he goes to rest. Ghidorah has enough understanding of human emotions, relationships, and how they follow leaders, that he seeks out one who he can speak through. Ghidorah's first attempt was to “bond” with Zuko, but fails to make a link. 

His second option was to forcibly bond with the more “vulnerable” Mai speaking through her to manipulate Zuko, and turn the masses against Godzilla, propping himself up as a “Guardian Monster”. Ghidorah claims that other “Guardians” are asleep but will answer to his call. The Guardian Monsters is something taken from GMK (where Ghidorah was the hero). The story Ghidorah tells through Mai is pretty much a recap GMK, even having Ember Island host a stage play of it as “Pro Ghidorah” propaganda.

3. Other Monsters

Revisiting the story, I decided that I  more monsters to fatten the story up. It’s “Godzilla vs Ghidorah” story, but they fight once at the beginning and again at the end, with not much in between. Sure, Godzilla fighting benders could add variety to the “Godzilla vs the Army”, but I’m not sure that’s enough.

Some monsters I considered include Zilla, Desotroyah, Biollante, and even Gigan, but I wanted to use them in other stories and don’t like having to use the same monsters over and over.

Mothra’s also included. For two thirds of the story, Mothra would be in a chrysalis state, having made a home in the Fire Nation. Ghidorah would constantly feed off Mothra’s power to slowly rebuild his strength, essentially torturing her throughout. All while that Mothra is another “Guardian Monster” and who doesn’t mind being fed on.

Mothra tries to “Channel” with Benders, warning them of the truth, but the only one she reaches is Azula. Towards the third act, Azula speaks for Mothra to the Three Nations...but because she’s Azula, they don’t believe her (even with Aang, Katara and Ty Lee advocating for her) - in fact, they end up attacking Mothra when she emerges, with Ghidorah declaring her "tainted" by Azula.

For another monster, I ultimately went with Bagan.

For those who don't know, Bagan was infamous for numerous planned but scrapped appearances in the Heisei era. Toho had different ideas for what Bagan would be, but the “canon” origin they went with was a “demonic dragon god” from Ancient China. This origin for Bagan would be included here. Despite/because of Bagan's obscurity and constantly being scrapped, Godzilla fans tend to overhype Bagan as this ultimate Godzilla villain. To avoid that, Bagan here is a mid-story boss.

Bagan is awakened by the Three Nations, believing him to be a “Guardian Monster” who’d help against Godzilla...only to backfire because, y'know; Demon Dragon God. Bagan lays waste to the Water Tribes and a city in the Uncharted Lands, before facing Godzilla in Ba Sing Se. 

Godzilla is injured and exhausted from the fight, but with the help of Aang and co, Bagan is forced to flee...before having his power and life drained by an opportunistic Ghidorah, who lifts Godzilla into the air before dropping him into Boiling Rocks lake, before going on to lay waste to the Three Nations, with nothing but a weakened Mothra to fight him. 

This prompts a new expedition to revive Godzilla.

4. Ships and Character Arcs

First up is Kataang.

Aang's arc isn't that deep; when he learns of the Ancient World, he briefly angsts about the Air Nomads and his current world being forgotten like the Ancient World. But a lot of that existential stuff takes a back seat to the threat of the Titans and the discovery of Uncharted Lands. Though it still lingers as Aang watches society shift around him. By the end, he comes to terms that even if he does revive the Air Nomads, it'll likely be in a different form.

Aang is also the first one who tries to understand the Titans as opposed to attacking them blindly. While Katara accidentally channels Godzilla, Anng and co eventually manage to verbally communicate with him (albeit through Katara's mouth). Katara is more angry at Godzilla, since he did wreck her village upon making landfall, though she cools down when it dawns on her that most of the destruction Godzilla causes is accidental.

Then we get Godzilla's perspective; he's lost faith in humanity sometime after the Final Wars. He has sensed genocide, war and environmental damage for the past ten thousand years; last time he awoke (Kyoshi's era), he saved the world from another monster, and humanities armies attacked him while he was exhausted, nearly killing him. 

Aang and Katara take it upon themselves to show Godzilla that humanity is still worth caring about, letting Godzilla look through Katara's eyes as they interact with the world and culture around them.

As for Maiko’s arc.

Zuko is put into the role of Hero Antagonist as the Fire Nation throws their army against the threat of Godzilla. Zuko was who Ghidorah first had in mind to “bond” with, but found his mind too “stubborn and resilient”; Mai was considerably easier, although even she slowly severs the bond. Initially, Ghidorah uses Mai's position as Zuko's significant other, and the daughter of a governor to speak to the Fire Nation and sell his claims as a “Guardian Monster”.

To keep Mai in line, Ghidorah threatens to kill Tom Tom using her own hands. After a while, Ghidorah begins underestimating Mai as she begins putting up more resistance to their “link”, eventually overcoming Ghidroah's influence; Mai doesn’t letting herself be intimidated by him, and successfully resists his puppeteering attempts.

With Zuko's help, she severs Ghidorah's link and they plan on revealing the truth. Unfortunately, Ghidorah notices Kiyi is strong for her age, but has a “weaker, vulnerable mind”; forcibly bonding with her, threatening to self harm her to keep Zuko in check, and force him to set the Fire Nations armies against Godzilla, and threatens to have Kiyi kill Ursa to make sure Kiyi plays ball (in some revisions, he makes good on that threat). 

Great guy, that Ghidorah!

And now for Azula, who I consider the stories secondary protagonist. Yes, The Ancient World would be an Azula Redemption fic.

Picking up after Smoke and Shadow, Azula is still trying to influence Zuko and his rule, getting her hands dirty when Zuko’s are tied, following Aang’s expedition behind Zuko’s back. Ty Lee is among the Kyoshi Warriors joining the expedition. Azula figures she can play the expedition to her advantage (“For Zuko’s benefit of course. What would he do without me ?”) when the miners uncovered WMDs, which were to be put on the same ships Aang and co are using “for safe keeping”. 

Azula’s initial plan was to use these weapons to manufacture something to deal with the Titans (“And if anyone should have this power, it’d be the Fire Nation. Zuzu will thank me later.”) However, Godzilla attacks Aang’s expedition, leaving them - Azula and her crew included - on the Uncharted Lands. 

At the start of her arc, Azula herself isn't seeking redemption. She’s still trying to “guide” Zuko’s rule, and maintains a haughty front 70% of the time. But now that she's out of an environment, with none of Ozai’s lingering influences, the emotions Azula considered "weakness" start to surface.

Like Zuko, Azula would have a “bonding chapter/episode” with Team Avatar, and two with Ty Lee (three if you count Azula and Katara looking after her when Ty Lee has a fever). Azula wouldn’t have the same humility as Zuko and very reluctant to show her vulnerability to others. Whenever she shows compassion or altruism (notably, saving a baby from choking) she's quick to downplay it. It isn’t until Azula accidentally “bonds” with Mothra that she airs out her baggage to the others. Even then, she puts up a haughty front afterwards.

For much of the story, the cast has mixed feelings with Azula being among them. Aang is the most optimistic of them, being one who tries to see the best in everyone. Katara and Ty Lee are cautious about Azula, but warm up to her as her arc goes on. Then you got this asshole, Ty Lee's “boyfriend” Shirio (the fics only major OC) who takes “Azula is crazy and needs to be taken down” as gospel. Shirio has a hate boner for Azula, and soon makes it everyone’s problem.

While this is a Tyzula story, we don't go for “Caretaker Ty Lee”. In fact, Ty Lee’s arc is about being assertive.

Ty Lee doesn't immediately forgive Azula, nor does get relegated to Azula's support system. In fact, I'd say Aang would have more to do with helping Azula. Ty Lee has these mixed feelings, always second guessing herself whether she is just afraid of Azula or has buried romantic feelings for her. In fact, during the botched hijacking, Ty Lee is the one who fights Azula head on.

At first Ty Lee reconnects with a childhood friend of hers, Shirio, a minor Fire Nation noble trying to insert himself into Zuko’s circle. Shirio has a Nice Guy/White Knight complex, trying to be the “healthy/wholesome” savior to an “infantile/naïve” Ty Lee. Shirio also joins Aang’s expedition because Ty Lee’s on the trip.

Ty Lee spends much of the first half telling off Azula and standing up to herself, but bit by bit her resolve falters, and her more romantic feelings start to boil over. While Ty Lee herself isn't that instrumental to Azula's reformation, their relationship is used to juxtapose it. The more Azula heals and betters herself, the more she and Ty Lee start to reconnect, and it’s only when the walls break down does Ty Lee let her own walls break too. 

By contrast, Shirio shows a more toxic side to Ty Lee (and everyone else). 

Shirio's corruption arc is juxtaposed with Azula's redemption. At first Shirio seems like an enthusiastic friend looking to help the protagonists, but has a few red flags. Sure, he uses gaslighting tactics whenever Ty Lee second guesses herself. Sure, he self harms when things aren’t going his way. And when initially stranded, Shirio keeps an injured Ty Lee in an isolated camp, claiming everyone else was killed, to be “alone” with her, and feigns surprise/relief when they’re found. But y’know, he’s such a Nice Guy!

Anyways, the more Azula opens up, (re)connects with others and heals herself ? Shirio becomes more bitter, vindictive and unhinged, showing himself as the unstable monster he sees Azula as. He even silently considers smothering a baby because Azula “tainted” it by saving it from choking; he only doesn’t go through with it because he couldn’t get away with it. Later, Shirio helps awaken Bagan, deliberately provoking Bagan’s attack on two cities, getting hundreds of thousands of people killed; all because Ty Lee told him off and shared a dance with Azula at this ceremony they attend.

Azula’s first redemption moment (besides saving a baby) comes when she gets her hands on the WMD’s, but rather than manufacturing something that can kill the Titans, she instead uses it to power Godzilla, when he is left near dead by Ghidorah. The second is during the final battle with Ghidorah, where Azula pulls Kiyi from a river after Ghidorah has her throw herself in. Azula ends up resuscitating the unconscious Kiyi, and the first thing Kiyi does when she sees Azula is give her a hug.

At the end of her arc, Azula is in a much better place than we saw her before; she is even given a position of power in Republic City; I see post-redemption Azula as being “Reformed But Not Tamed Type”, putting her ruthlessness into being a businesswoman. 

In a Korra era sequel, it’d be revealed Azula had a hand in the United Republics industrial development, investing in different industries. Specifically, she helped a young Hiroshi Sato develop Future Industries, and Hiroshi becomes very close to Azula and Ty Lee's daughter.

Yes, I’m implying what you think I’m implying

4. Other Stuff

So Azula's not a human antagonist, then who fills that spot ? Technically the United Republic, with the Three Nations bringing their armies together to stop Godzilla; Zuko leading and representing the Fire Nation, Hakoda for the Water Tribe, Kuei for the Earth Kingdom. I say “Antagonist” and not “Villain”; they're only antagonists because they're in opposition to the protagonists.  

There’s no ill will with the protagonists. You see where they're coming from, and even if they're being manipulated and misguided by an Eldritch Dragon, they are uniting to stop what they see as a tangible threat to their people. And they do realize what they're doing was wrong and spend the third act trying to make things right.

Buuuuuut for a less nuanced Hate Sink ? Shirio’s your guy! Though he spends the last third of the story imprisoned after setting off Bagan’s rampage.

The third act plays out similarly to King of the Monsters, with a revived Godzilla battling an enhanced Ghidorah in the Fire Nations Imperial City. Godzilla would be backed up by the three armies, as well as Team Avatar and Azula. Ghidorah would eventually get overwhelmed and try to flee, but through Aang and Katara's water and air bending - enhanced by Mothra - Ghidorah's frozen solid mid air and explodes into a cloud of snow by Godzilla atomic breath. 

Mothra would survive this fight, but would sense something “off world” and fly off to investigate. Godzilla leaves peacefully after staring down the survivors, and the Three Nations have to rebuild their societies. And Azula's in a much better place with her family, Mai, and especially Ty Lee.

Beyond that, there's really not much else to cover. 

I remember writing this one sequence down that I really liked; it had Aang and his team (and Azula and hers) exploring the Uncharted Land's culture, and end up invited to a wedding. It was the “breather” episode of the story, with Aang sharing a dance with Katara, and Ty Lee sharing a dance with Azula.

In this sequence, we learn that this society has recreated/preserved songs from the Ancient World though various methods (mostly oral tradition). This is low key an excuse for IRL songs to exist in this story and it’s Korra era sequel. 

I call it the “How Do I Live ?” sequence.
