{ hello again! I hope you didn’t forget me! it’s Oran the roto-caster! Casi-Papa asked that I tag along to film things! }

[A video begins. Several segments of it are chopped together for length.]

Part 1/??

The rather odd group stands a little ways into an apparent cave system. Casimir and Ingo, looking excited to journey forward, and Grimsley tagging along for… Presumably his own reasons. Perhaps out of curiosity? Few have traveled far into this cave, its layout notably strange. Puddles of water form alien shapes across the uneven stone floors. Every sound, from footsteps to dripping water, seems to bounce off all the walls until it distorts. 

Indigo, Casi’s young Charmander, is using his tail flame to light a short distance ahead of them. He’s rarely seen on camera, though his lighter colorations and purple flame make him stand out from the average Charmander. He also appears to be wearing a little white and light blue striped bandana. It takes an enormous amount of self control for the little pokemon to not dart off into the deeper parts of the cave, being told to stay close. His purple tinted light isn’t particularly bright, but it does the job well enough, with the consequence of making the portions of the cave he lights seem even more foreign. 

The other two trainers brought pokemon better suited for the job, Grimsley with his Absol Snowball and Ingo with Fusee the Chandelure. Snowball's forehead gem glows with radiant light, the move Flash providing much more clarity. Trailing by Ingo’s side is the fare dodger, though the Sneasel is hardly one for self control, running off to explore the wide open chamber and splash in the shallow pools of water.

“It’s odd to think a cave like this connects to Sinnoh…” Casi remarks in a low voice, seemingly unwilling to completely shatter the barrier of silence. Or perhaps she realizes that speaking too loudly has a chance of disturbing any Woobat that may be sleeping nearby. 

From this point onward the footage begins to skip around, fragments of the trio chattering about nothing in particular mixed with shots simply taking in the surrounding walls, the deposits of dripping limestone and concretions creating odd patterns that the Roto-Caster seems to marvel at. As they trek deeper into the Cave of Being the wide open chamber gives way to smaller winding corridors.

{ why are we even going this way? I thought we were celebrating Ōnyūria?! }

Madoka Magica and Evangelion: An Introduction

part 1/3

hey everyone! i’m back with another set of analysis posts, but this one isn’t about classic literature and manga that they inspired. it’s an examination of two acclaimed anime series that ran their original course 15 years apart, with the latter finishing in 2011. why now, all of a sudden? well, i wanted to do something to connect these two other stories that I enjoyed : Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Madoka Magica)

(logo of Madoka Magica anime, sourced from Wikimedia)

and Neon Genesis Evangelion (Evangelion)

(title card from Evangelion anime, sourced from Wikimedia)

even though these anime are fairly old based on the standard of how quickly media is released and consumed after the rise of the internet, they are codifiers for entire subgenres and inspiration for many later works. they have left not only a great impression on the animation industry, but a lasting effect on the viewers as well — both works feature rebellious defiance of the parent genres they branched off on that reveals the darkness of the human psyche and the painful reality of handling humanity’s fate to 14-year-olds. oh, and the next Madoka Magica movie is coming out this year too — so if i get you hooked, there’s fresh, canon content for you to consume soon.

now, let’s get started! Part 2: Review Part 3: Comparison

i had a dream where there were 2 "missing scene" katara / azula fight scenes in the series and one was set in one of the poles, it was early in the series and katara wasn't a master waterbender yet (dream logic didn't specify which pole, waking logic puts her bending level + setting as when the gaang has gotten to the North pole but not inside the capital city / no training with pakku). and a key theme of the fight was like. katara's ability to Have Fun with her bending even while azula was trying to kill her. azula was like what's wrong with you, how are you managing to enjoy this, I'm going to kill you. and katara was like laughing cus she loved bending so much and the fight was exhilarating! katara was surfing the ice and azula surfing fire melting the ice and it was visually paralleling their final battle. and azula couldn't beat katara surrounded by her own element, azula was retreating, katara had won. but then. katara grabbed aang's hand and the ocean spirit moved thru her to aang (a la moon spirit fish type of conduit) and he pushed a huge wave of water & ice back towards azula. not enough to hurt her. just enough for katara to prove she could. immediately after aang was like. wtf katara please don't do that to me again (turn his body into a conduit for terrifying power that she controlled without aaaaany warning beforehand, for the slightest of reasons). and katara giggled. i think this might be the way katzula could win but like. with a katara thats slightly to the left and an azula that hits her breakdown early.

Hello! I have got to say, your ‘How to summon an overlord fanfic’ is amazing. Could you make a part two or just more hcs like the first part? Your writing is too good I swear😭

[tomriddlehyperfixataion]

I can’t find ur stories on ao3😭

that would be because i post under Anon 😅😅 so I, as a Tom Riddle x reader writer, dont have an official ao3 account to post my stories from, i post under anon under my actual ao3 account, cuz i posted very different stories under that account and i kinda wanted to keep my Tom stories disconnected from that version of 'me', so yeah, but ive posted all my Tom stories under the Tom Riddle/Reader ship tag, and usually tag it with 'that one anon writer', so they shouldnt be too hard to find, sorry for making you do work 😅

making a bucky edit to 'hot to go!' by chappell roan i feel sooo normal about how much modern au john would ADORE her he would be such a girlypop enjoyer lmfaooooo

[chucktaylorupset]

to be a helpless giant fucking pedant, "so imagine that ur fucking the cow from a gary larson comic" isnt the set up. you dont find out youre fucking the cow from the gary larson comic until the end, making it part of the punchline. fucking the cow from the gary larson comic is the premise of the joke. its part of the setting as opposed to being part of the prologue, if you will

Bound by Faith

Chapter One: Philia

Chapter Rating: T Pairing: Aureia Malathar (Warrior of Light)/Thancred Waters Characters: Warrior of Light, Thancred Waters, Urianger Augurelt, Ryne, Alisaie Leveilleur, Alphinaud Leveilleur, Y'shtola Rhul, Cyella Chapter Word Count: 5,377 Story Word Count: 5,377 Story Summary: With their enemies defeated and the First saved, the Crystarium is alive with celebration. Despite the joy around her, Aureia is uncertain about the next steps to take. So is Thancred, for that matter. The puzzle of their lives has sat incomplete for years, but finally this last, precious piece may be able to slide into place. Spoiler Warning: Spoilers for the end of Shadowbringers base. Notes: This chapter does not contain explicit sexual content, but a later chapter will.

“It’s strange, isn’t it?” Alisaie says after a moment. “This moment of peace. It doesn’t feel real. It’s something we’ve dreamt of more times than we can count, and now it’s here… I can’t shake this feeling there is something we’ve forgotten. That some imminent crisis is going to raise its ugly head and undo everything we’ve fought so hard to achieve.” “I know,” Aureia replies. “The thought has occurred to me, too. I don’t doubt we will ever be free of one crisis or another.” “And that’s the problem, is it not? I dislike feeling this unsettled. It’s hardly fair after everything we’ve been through. I have this unrelenting need to do something, Aureia, as if taking a moment for myself is never enough. I’m not like Alphinaud. I can’t slip so freely into rest and respite. For all his complaints, I know he prefers the quiet. Not that I wish desperate times on anyone, that’s not what I mean, but there is a restlessness in me that needs to do something. And perhaps it’s easier to placate it with thoughts of what could go wrong in the future, rather than accepting that nothing has in the present.” She lets out a long sigh and shakes her head. “Bah. I’m sorry. I didn’t intend to become so introspective, not on a night like this. You certainly don’t need to be weighed down by my useless thoughts.” “They’re not useless, Alisaie. If anything, I share them. When you have achieved that singular goal you spent years pursuing, how do you come to terms with that? I don’t know if there is an answer.”

I’ve said this before but that mai dating zuko literally makes her gayer is so funny. “I love zuko more than I fear you” and she's STILL SO GAY. that’s crazy.

Unironically love when one person decides to write sweeping redemption fics for villains 99% of their fandom hates. Theyre like listen i know they suck, objectively. Half the time they even admit to not liking them. But theyre still out here writing 80k to make this little freak happy, and im reading it, and then at the end i close the fic and am metaphorically blinking in the bright sun after leaving a movie theater. Something has changed in me but i can never read another fic abt this because only one person went this sort of insane

Thanks for not asking like a bitch, but there is not and has never been a planned schedule for council plates. I write high and edit high and have a strict "done or none" policy when it comes to longform works.
