#third we dont know if he really split

[sootkea]

do you guys ever split a new dsmp or problematic sourced alter and scramble to figure out what you can publically say about them or are you guys normal

[ardienothesieno]

guess what? more ddvau theorizing woohoo!!!

this one about family stuff. to be clear: these are some theories ive had, and they probably will be made null and void by future chapters. (though the more data ive collected to throw this post together is just solidifying these way further into my mind. they just make so much sense.) but thought i'd share them anyways!!!!

so. i believe grian and jimmy's parents are these three individuals. florencia and sparrow are grian's mom and dad (sparrow is the only avian mutant listed in the parent references, and florencia's design is very purple and we keep seeing doodles of her that just feel very watcher-y and ominous.) and canary is jimmy's mom (i mean come on her name is CANARY)

grian states in chapter 9 that he and jimmy are cousins when jimmy refers to the pair of them as "the great witch brothers," but then in chapter 16 they seem to refer to the same person as "dad."

aaand here are a few doodles from the parent reference image post that i think are of note

SO. MY THEORY.

sparrow and canary are siblings. sparrow at some point had a kid with florensia (but i think they probably split up pretty early on). canary was a single mother, and she and sparrow teamed up to raise grian and jimmy together. meaning sparrow is teeechnically jimmy's uncle, but he just calls him dad. and i dont think grian has ever mentioned his mom in any of the comics?

and like it could also be that sparrow and canary are a couple instead of siblings... but both of them having bird names and jimmy and grian being cousins makes me think that they're both single-parent siblings who raised their kids together.

NOW THIS LEADS INTO MY SECOND THEORY

yeah the brain is working overtime today

so, assuming that florencia is grian's bio mom. for her power it's listed that she's a prophet.

now based on the other parents and who they correspond with (and i think this was mentioned in a worldbuilding post) powers are genetic. like, tango's dad is a fire elemental and his mom has red eyes. jimmy's mom is an empath, which matches up with jimmy's powers of mind reading.

now grian has avian mutations from his dad, but. not really anything obviously from his mom. he can heal super fast, but i dont really think that being able to tell the future translates into speed healing very well.

AND THEN.

in chapter 14, when gem is questioning grian about if he has any other notable mutations, both he and mumbo get VERY visibly nervous. and he brushes off the question by going "uh duh i've got wings"

i didnt notice this my first few read-throughs of this chapter, but now that i have noticed it i think it is very much so obvious that he is hiding something.

almost like... grian has a secret third power... that he doesnt want to reveal to anyone...

AND THIS IS BACKED UP BY ANOTHER BIT FROM CHAPTER 9

where jimmy talks to grian about training their powers. ...which of grian's known powers would he need training for??? having wings??? innate speed-healing????

hmm. no.

GRIAN HAS A SECRET THIRD SUPERPOWER.

boom bam ddvau secrets revealed ma'am

uh. this has been your daily theorizing session with ardie. thanks for showing up!

ddvau is by @kitsuneisi and @xmaruu11 (on the off chance you guys see this-- you are so freaking good at storytelling. i dont know if any of the stuff i said here is even close to being correct but this is the hardest ive theorized about a piece of media for years. YEARS. i am going insane)

[alien-ally]

Now, idk how but here goes a few things that were dragged out of me, as i witness the split opinions on heesu in class 2. let me start out by saying: i'm a fan of the show :) and i know next to nothing about the manhwa. just so it's clear from the get go.

i haven't watched kdramas in a long while, so i suppose i'd been in the bl bubble exclusively for that entire time. i dont prefer kdramas, or uh straight romances very much personally. hence while watching the first couple eps of heesu, i had pretty much the same reaction. annoyance, disappointment, what more, my interest dropped steadily for a bit until i decided i would drop the show entirely if it dint focus more on the queer storyline, essentially our mc's plot more, in the following episodes. I got on tumblr like i usually do whenever i'm watching one of my bls, and boom, instantly more perspective unlocked. 'thematic foil' the phrase that stuck with me the most. a set of characters in a story getting focus and being followed along their journey apart from the mc, to serve as a foil that demonstrates what exactly the mc could be having, or how it usually goes for the majority of people, a majority our mc clearly isn't a part of. Several characters going about crushes in their own ways, what i enjoyed the most is how the show doesn't subtly pin any of them as 'right' or 'wrong', something i was worried they'd do. Heesu is always supportive of his sisters, no matter what errand he's in the middle of running, he always makes sure they're fine first before heading out. and most importantly, the best advice received by one of the sisters, was in fact not given by the mc but by another sister itself, heejeong to heejae. which i thought was really cool.

Admittedly, i wasn't a fan of the sisters in the beginning, but i guess that's just more on my own cynicism towards dating trends in general. as time passed though, they grew on me significantly. i mean, there's a charming sort of integrity to each sister's ways you can't ignore. another thing: the complaints about no kissing. i hardly ever find this argument to be nuanced, probably the most irritating reason people put out to dismiss an entire show as 'bad'. we see the formation of 2 straight high school couples, along with the boys, now had they been shown kissing or even toeing the lines of any other kind of physical intimacy other than holding hands or hugging, i would've extended that expectation to heesu and seungwon. but here, these kids just are not doing that yet. is that such a hard pill to swallow? bruh, it doesn't become straight washing cause the gay couple dint kiss or cause the straight couple got equal (note: equal) screen time. heesu is not a bl, sure. But it IS a queer kdrama. with a QUEER mc and his QUEER pining classmate (soon to be boyfriend) who has TWO moms. the third thing isn't focused on a lot but man i loved that scene in the last episode where seungwon's mom asks how much she should disclose at the meeting. and his reply, 'if you start lying, i'll have to continue it'.

Now. the last scene, which the non-fans seem to hate the most. but in fact the scene i loved the most. heesu looks back at chanyoung and jiyu walking close behind them, watches cy put his arm around jy with something like yearning flickering in his eye, he turns around, blinks it away and goes back to smiling. seungwon notices, puts his arm around heesu and when heesu kinda hesitates, asks him not to worry (about getting outed basically) cause people are just gonna assume they're close friends or some shit. like all throughout history, this has been used to erase queer people and their relationships. why not use it to your own advantage now? my favorite thing about his dailogue tho, is that it's meant to be reassuring. Seungwon is reassuring Heesu that he's proud about their relationship and wouldn't mind making it public. that he's fine with people finding out. how great is that to hear, when you've been shouldering all this turmoil alone for years, like how Heesu has been doing? Wonderful scene. episode 8,9 and 10 were my favorites and i would totally recommend this show to anyone looking for a wholesome little QUEER teen kdrama experience.

[kings-highway]

I’m kinda throwing up writing this because I’ve never done this before but I wanted to say I really really love reading your fics!! (>T~T)>❤️

I also wanted to ask: what are some of your headcannons when it comes to daichi’s home life? Personally I like to think his siblings are all wayyy younger than him, which makes him more of a third parent than an older brother. He laments the fact that he has to be the responsible reliable figure even at home, but he’d never hold it against those little rascals <3 His parents also do their best, but it’s hard splitting your attention 5 ways, and with him being so dependable, they tend to neglect him a little

Anyways, that’s all!! Hope this isn’t too weird or anything haha ;-;

Aaaaaaaa no worries no worries at all <3 I love receiving asks and I love talking about these characters so never feel bad for popping up being so kind :)

and I have a lot of headcanons for the Sawamura family! As a disclaimer, I tend to write whatever is needed for any given storyline, so dont hold me accountable in the future if I dont 100% hold to these lmao

I fully agree with his siblings being substantially younger than him. But personally I also love the idea of making Daichi an unplanned teenage pregnancy, making the parentification of him less a facet of "bad" parenting and more a result of kids who were just not ready for a baby. it also makes his very mature disposition a very nice contrast to the idea that he was a result of teenage mistakes. In this way, his younger siblings were his parents "chosen" kids, the kids they had once they were older and ready for it, and I think they were very good parents. unfortunately they were very good parents after Daichi had already grown up. in this you can push his age from his siblings anywhere from 8-15 years older than them. ((when I write, I try to maintain canon family dynamics unless it'll play a roll in the story, so I often give the age gap at 6 years for realism, because we know he has 4 siblings by 18 and you can only squeeze out so many 9 month pregnancies in so many years lmao.)

so daichi functions as a third parent by default because his parents never really saw him as part of the white-picket-fence planning process, those are the kids that came later. it doesnt mean they dont love him, but a lot of his foundational years, 0-8, were in the care of literally children. (Assuming a teenage pregnancy of like 17) And they just... Couldnt really handle raising a kid and it required him to create a lot of independence and self-soothing skills.

it also doesnt help that I think he takes pride in this. In the future, as an adult, he might have resentment towards his parents but in the timeline of him being in high school I imagine he sees his own role as a point of pride. he is being "mature" and "responsible" and "useful" and so clearly he's being a good person so he likes the roll he has in his family. he doesnt want them to treat him like a kid because kids are work and require effort and energy and cause problems and he is Better Than That. he's got a bit of a martyr complex in that way where he thinks its a good thing he acts and behaves this way.

i also believe 100% in any interpretation that his siblings absolutely, disgustingly, adore him. he might be the third parent but he's definitely their favourite parent. for all the resentment and anger that his parentification will cause in his adult years, for the inevitable divide growing between him and his parents, the emotional neglect, all of it, he is the person that his siblings will idolize as their greatest support. And even if he stops coming around as often and tries to rebuild a life that centres himself rather than other people, they will always think of him as their hero, and want to make him proud and seek his approval far more than they do their real parents.

theres like a million other little headcanons that contradict these ones - Im also especially fond (as anyone who reads my work knows) of the narrative that Daichi's absolutely a daddy's boy in his idolization of his father, and the father-son dynamic is one of my favourite to explore with him. the influence of family dynamics, bloodlines and obligations (real or imagined) is like... My #1 trope for him. i love giving him a larger than life bloodline and instead of everything I just described, making his martyr complex one born of a desperate desire to fill unreasonable large shoes left behind from whatever reason. in equal measure to the emotionally neglectful parents I love me a good "how am I supposed to live up to this?" story.

i could keep talking. im so fond of this stupid fucking man. But I will stop yapping and leave it as that. Thank you so much for the opportunity to ramble on about my main bitch 🤍🤍🤍

[fujoshirat]

Ok I have a (idk dumb) Idea, If it somehow connects to Kaoru from the "Obsessed", How would Kaoru and the Kids react with him? Like I honestly don't quite know much other than its a masterpiece full of wholesomeness but like the idea though😭

I just can't get over Kaoru being the whole connection for Shouto and Reader in Obsessed while I'm also looking through your other series🥹

The idea isn't dumb at all! I appreciate your support and love the curiosity <33

DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS FOR OBSESSED/TINY DANCER!! (check them out!!!)

Warning: intense mathematical calculations (ew math)

I didn't intend to make Obsessed and the oc!children fall in the same storyline (in the oc!children line, I intended for how Shouto and the reader get together/married to be completely up to the readers, it didn't have to be through Obsessed). HOWEVER! Anything is possible in the vast imagination of a delusional woman (myself <3), so who's to say that we can't imagine an interaction between Kaoru and the children?

After doing some INTENSE mathematical calculations and research literally just pulling up the fics and counting with my fingers, during the time period where Yuuri is 7, if the story of Obsessed and Tiny Dancer were in the same timeline/storyline, Kaoru would be approximately... 18!?!?!?!

Now, how could this be?

In Suits (Chapter 4 final chapter for Obsessed), Kaoru is 7 and a half years old. Let's say that when Shouto and reader have Aki and Haru, it's a year and a half after marriage. That would make Kaoru 9 (7.5 + 1.5 = 9).

Now, there is a two-year age gap between both sets of twins and Hana. When Yueru and Yuuri are born, Aki and Haru are about 2 (9 + 2 = 11 making Kaoru 11)! Later on, in Tiny Dancer, we mentioned that Yuuri is 7. This means that 7 years has passed since Yuu and Yue were born: 11 + 7 = 18.

There you have it! We solved how old Kaoru would be in Tiny Dancer's timeline!

To answer your question on interaction, let's keep the Tiny Dancer timeline to make things somewhat simple (warning: FujoshiRat's EXTREMELY scattered brainrot dump). Here's an age summary!!:

Kaoru - 18

Aki and Haru - 9

Yueru and Yuuri - 7

Hana - 5

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm adding some Kaoru high school lore 'cause why not <33

So I can see Kaoru at U.A., obviously inspired by his fav oji-san <3 so yay! He inherited Natsuo's ice quirk and is a third year (is that how Japanese high schools work?) at U.A.

Kaoru is DEFINITELY more open/talkative than how he was in kindergarten. He's still a respectful boy that loves his rock collections, but not like as much as he did before </3

He loves visiting his favorite oji-san and his really nice wife and kids! Kaoru is an only child, so I can imagine him really caring for his cousins 🥺🥺

I wouldn't say that he's got a favorite- he plays with all of them and loves them all! One minute, he's wrestling with Yueru around in the backyard (she asked for it), another minute he's letting Hana pour him "tea" on a tiny pink children's plastic chair that he definitely shouldn't be sitting on, the next thing you know he's playing Banana Split (Rock, Paper, Scissors, Splits if you don't know what Banana Split is) with Yuuri (and failing miserably to the ballet dancer), and another minute he's playing frisbee with Aki and Haru.

I won't lie, when his uncle first started having cousins, he was a little jealous :( Babies obviously require much time and effort and energy, so the young boy couldn't see his uncle and auntie as much as before. Plus, now that he was in elementary school, he had homework and studying to do!

However, with time (just like his oji-san), Kaoru has matured into a fine man! No longer is he jealous->he has turned his jealousy into affection bc that would be what his father and oji-san would want 🥺🥺

Now, for the POV of the five Todoroki Shouto darlings!!

They all see Kaoru as the COOL cousin: you know, that one cousin who's always giving advice they're just so mature and cool? the one cousin who is like the peacemaker in the family, usually the oldest (in this case, Kaoru is the oldest). this cousin is that one cousin who has all the kids dumped in their room during an Asian family gathering (any southeast Asians in the room?)

Hana sees Kaoru as reliable and safe. Whenever Kaoru comes over, Hana will drag the high schooler over to her room and make him play whatever she wants: Barbies, tea party, dress up, you name it! She can't help herself! Kaoru is so patient and nice, indulging her antics whether it be sitting properly (unlike Haru-nii) at the tea party table or clapping (unlike Aki-nii's complaining) while she struts down the "runway." In a way, her older cousin is comforting, and she sees her papa (SHOUTO MY LOVE) in his patient and understanding words and actions

Yuuri sees Kaoru as a brother figure. Don't get me wrong: all five of Shouto's children see Kaoru as a brother figure. But Yuuri? The brotherhood (cousinhood?) is STRONG. A big reason why is because remember, Kaoru was once a veeeeeeery quiet little boy like Yuuri, and Yuuri knows this. He sees Kaoru as someone he can greatly relate to and looks up to him in that way. Yuuri also admires how balanced Kaoru is. Yuuri sees how Kaoru is understanding and more outgoing, and I see him as wanting to be the same way. As we know, Yuuri is the quietest out of his siblings and struggles with expressing his emotions. He feels motivated and inspired by his cousin to be like him (does this change in emotional expression sound like someone we know? wink wink~)

Yueru sees Kaoru as a cool role model. It's very obvious that she wants to be a hero, between her personality and affinity for her quirk. But did you know? Fun fact! (that I will develop later in the new year): poor girl cried when she got her quirk. If you remember from my first work about the Todoroki children, she admires her oji-san Bakugou (Dynamight). She reeeeeeeally wanted Shouto's fire side to be just like him! Haha funny story.... she got ice (IM SORRY YUERU I LOVE YOU) so yeah she was heartbroken when Yuuri got Shouto's "complete" quirk (half-hot half-cold) but hey!! Kaoru has the same ice quirk as her (everyone say thank you to baa-san aka Rei <33) so now she sees Kaoru as a role model. I mean obviously she still looks up to Dynamight but Kaoru is direct family so even cooler! Cousin, sparring partner, and role model!

Last but not least, similar to Hana, Aki and Haru see Kaoru as a person they can trust. Because Shouto was present a lot in Kaoru's childhood, his personality and wisdom is reflected in Kaoru. They see their father in their cousin, and it is something that they find great comfort in. Kaoru, just like Shouto, is dependable and seems to have all the answers that the twins need. Additionally, because they're the oldest out of the five, Aki and Haru knew Kaoru longer than Yuu and Yue and Hana. Because of this, they have a tight bond and attachment to their cousin <3

currently sobbing in a corner rn this was so sweet and too much fluff for me to handle 😭😭

Anyways~! WOAH that was long mb yall I love to talk about my hyperfixations 😳😳 I promise promise promise that when the new year begins and I have time, I will definitely make a better summary of the 5 Todoroki children. Thx for listening to me rant and Happy New Year @reijixia13!

[blacklegsanjiii]

First of all im so sorry for the long askbut!! New parent idea 💥💥 i present to you: King

Now hear me out, you might be thinking ‘really??? King from wano the bird guy?? Why tf’ but my good sir there are multiple reasons

1. Fire! King is from a race called lurarians (he’s infact the last of his people because theyre world wide known as beautiful because of their white hair, dark skin and beautiful black wings) lurarians are also known to be able to set themselves on fire! So that fits prettyyy well with sanji

So if we take pt 1 with us and expand it...

2. Test subject ✨ we all know Sanji is judge 3rd expiriment and also that vegapunk has made the seraphims of the warlords combined with kings lurarian DNA to make very strong clones. Judge and vegapunk were also in a science group together so they might have some shared notes and materials...

So that brings me to the parent King au...

What if vegapunk and judge kept in touch and decided to keep King in germas dungeon for the foreseeable future because its very well guarded etc etc so he is essentially both vegapunk and judges labrat

And when judge is busy with Sora and Reiju he notices that while reiju hasnt failed his expectations for power, he can always do better so with the quadruplets he also decides to mix kings lurarian DNA in for even stronger child soldiers (so 1234ji have 3 bio parents lmao)

Maybe this alters their appearance also a bit? (Mini baby wings 🥺 that they hide becausd its a weakness maybe 124ji got them amputated later in life while sanji ofcourse kept his hidden)

But anyway canon continues and sanji gets thrown into the dungeon with his mask... Here he meets a huge winged man. First days maybe weeks they dont really talk but sanji is a child and starts talking to king because he's lonely

They startbonding and in the next almost year that sanji is stuck there they really learn to love each other and sanji shows king his baby wings and king just decides 'yup thats my kid' teaches him to groom and how to fold/hide them without being in to much pain

But then vegapunk and judge fight and split up, king was originally vegapunks labrat so he is also taken from sanji.

Canon continues with them both respectively escaping,king tried to find sanji but couldnt bc germa is very stealthy and nobody knows where they are so he joins kaido etc etc

And then they meet again in wano.

Thoughts :0?

I had to double check King's age to make sure this is plausible and yeah, he's 47. He can fully adopt Sanji. I support this fully, fire boys unite! Also imagine Heterochromia!Sanji, one blue eye and one red.

King who is Vegapunks labrat being experimented on for a good while before Reiju and the quads come along, hell, even before Sora coming along. Captured as a teenager and being held captive and tortured for years. Eventually he's locked in the dungeon and left there to rot even after Vegapunk leaves to focus on other things but leaves him in Germa. No one really interacts with the Lunarian except to bring him food and water to keep him alive in case they do decide they want to do something with him again. What it could be he doesn't know what more they could do.

Judge however has gotten married and had a daughter already but notices her flaws and while she's not a full failure, he could do better. So he infuses the Lunarians DNA with those of his coming sons, despite his wife taking that poison she won't be able to do much to get rid of that at least. He can deal with the other failures she causes later but right now he's unworried. Even when the children come, the third one is wrong, he's blond instead of darkhaired, he's easily bruised. Unfortunate really. He had high hopes for that one particularly, for the stealth instead of brute force the others were for.

He sees the wings and knows he still at least has the Lunarian DNA, he might still have some use. Maybe.

He's not and it's clear by the time Sanji is six. Weak and crying and frail compared to his siblings. He has a full range of emotions which even Reiju doesn't have. Disgusted Judge throws him in the dungeon, a metal cover his head and unconcerned if he dies down there, Sanji screaming and crying for him to come back. Apologizing to his father over and over again as if it will change anything. It doesn't. He's trapped alone in the cell but there's someone down here with him. There's a man, tall with white hair and black wings like he has, only a few years older than his mother. He's telling Sanji to quiet down, no one will come get him. Sanji can't stop crying so he apologizes and sits in the back of his cell. King gives his real name to the kid, introduces himself as Alber to the boy, he is a boy after all, small and frail and so utterly broken and too young to be there. He knows what it's like to be a failure after all. It takes all of a day for King to see the small black wings the kid has. His wings are in awful condition: Bald spots, cuts, bruises, broken feathers. King remembers what that was like, the uncomfortable feeling and itching, those wings are from Lunarians though, so this kid has his DNA or there's another Lunarian here possibly. Both are bad options, no one should be forced to live as he has. No one.

They're together for a year and some change and in that time 124ji find out about Sanji and King almost burns the little princes for what they're doing. They have wings as well, atrophied and unworked like his are. He can only stretch his so far in this cramped cell. He hears the crunch of bones in the younger's cell. He throws fire at them once and is doused in water unforgivingly. They're incredibly close, King hasn't told the boy this where his wings come from and Sanji asks if he's where his red eye comes from and King says probably, albeit he's confused about that, he's only seen the blue one.

He teaches Sanji how to preen and hide his wings more comfortably and for protection. King tells him they will be his pride and joy and he will be able to fly with them. Sanji says he hopes so. They've been together for a year and some change when they take King away from Sanji. They tranquilize him and the last thing King hears is Sanji screaming and begging for them not to take him. He wakes up to Vegapunk telling him it's time to continue their work. King stays for a year, working on getting his wings back to functioning, preening and carrying for them. Then he escapes. It's a mess getting out but he needs to get out. Needs to find Sanji, his son. He will find his son.

So he breaks out and goes hunting for Germa but hears the kids saying Sanji better be dead since he's out of the dungeon, which means he escaped. As relieved as that makes him it means he has more searching to do. He looks and looks for years and years. He doesn't find him though and ends up in Wano under Kaido, working his way up to becoming an All Star. He hides who he is and decides he'll wait, maybe Sanji will pass by.

Sanji on the other hand is going through canon mostly normally, I think having King there would partially impact how he views woman but also for as much flirting as he does he doesn't actually sleep with anyone. Zeff found out he has wings while on the rock because he's crying about how fucked they are. Zeff is staring at the black wings attached to this kid and helps him hide them when they're saved, threatens the doctor to keep quiet.

Zeff helps Sanji rehab them before Baratie opens and after it does he lets the boy fly to his heart's content. Patty and Carne will save him if he falls in the water, he can still swim but his wings are not made for water. Is he still amazing at it? 100% but like, he's not a duck or a penguin. He's part Lunarian. He wears coats like the vice admirals and admirals do. Off his shoulders to hide his wings, to keep them safe as he goes about his day. He doesn't really over heat thanks to his Lunarian traits but when he gets cold, it's so fucking cold to him.

When he joins the crew everyone thinks he's kind of prissy with the full suit+extra jacket thing he has but...he's illegal. He's an illegal race and if he gets found out he's fucked. Drum island is when Luffy and Nami find out. Sanji is begging for Kureha and Chopper to not tell anyone which they assure they won't. Kureha does tell him he's lucky he only broke his back and not his wings. Chopper says they're in desperate need of preening and Sanji admits he hasn't done it since he left the Baratie because he didn't want to get caught. He mumbles it all of course but Nami and Luffy are looking at the black monstrous wings as they unfurl and Chopper is amazed at them. They're huge. He has to have a ten/fifteen foot wingspan(if not more but anime logic) and Luffy asks how you preen wings and Chopper shows him despite Sanji insisting he can do it himself. It's too late and Chopper and Luffy are preening a wing and it feels good. Zeff didn't even preen him, not unless Sanji asked and Sanji was too proud to ask normally. Even Nami touches them and is surprised how soft they are.

They leave with Chopper and make it off Drum island and to Alabasta and meet Ace. Sanji is fine in the heat, he's in so many layers though it concerns everyone but he waves them off. He's sworn Nami and Chopper to secrecy but not Luffy because he bought his silence with meat. Sanji is so lucky he didn't inherit more traits from Alber because that cigar marine is tailing them and here and if it wasn't for these covers over his wings h would put to death immediately. Even as they take Alabasta back he doesn't uncover his wings. Not until they leave again and Nami is getting upset with him saying they need preened and that she'll do it while he's on watch. Nico Robin has joined the crew and he doesn't trust her that much and he'd rather not trouble Nami at all but she basically throws him to his knees and starts preening. If Sanji moves to help she threatens to raise his debt which he doesn't understand.

Robin probably knows but no one has else finds out until post TS. He can sill sky walk, he still learned it and to keep his secret. But no one else knows, not until WCI/Wano. Sanji notices his brothers wings are gone and Sanji is the only one left with them. The black wings he cannot cover with his red cape so at least one is always showing as well as his red eye. It has wigged some of his crew out until he showed both eyes at the same time and Robin called him interesting in the way she does some poneglyphs or rituals she reads about.

It made his stomach turn. Just as it is now as he's being called interesting again and Pudding is saying their kids have wings like he does. Big Mom says she thought Lunarians are extinct and Judge says they are. The quadruplets are only infused with the DNA, not actually Lunarian. Sanji wants to vomit.

He'd claim to be an illegal race than to be a Vinsmoke. So during the escape he claims it. He flies and it's awkward so it's a combination of sky walking and flying. Carrying Luffy and Nami to safety. His bounty skyrockets as they head to Wano. It's higher than Zoro's as Nami preens his wings and Luffy coming to help after he's had a nap and some food that Sanji made. He's wanted dead or alive with Vinsmoke as his last name unfortunately and being Lunarian added to his list of crimes.

Everyone seeing his wings in Wano is new and he asks everyone not to touch them. Zoro is confused because the fuck cook? I'm your rival? And Sanji shrugs because he doesn't know what else to do. Then fights keep happening. He uses the raid suit a couple of times, the second time is the worst. He's fighting Alber, he's sure of it. He's so fucking sure but he's drilled through buildings and he's certain Alber is going to kill him for this.

Maybe after the raid Sanji finds a moment alone before Zoro and Luffy wake up. Maybe King the Wild Fire finds him and they talk and catch up. Maybe King preens his son's wings like he always wanted to. Maybe King joins the crew.

Maybe King went to the East Blue, found the Baratie, met Zeff. They would bond over the Eggplant. Sanji's second place in the bounties. When he gets to Egghead he has no sympathy for Vegapunk, he does for Kuma and Bonney but for what he's done to his family? Never. He will never forgive him.

warnings: afab! reader, she/her pronouns, second person pov, reader is the theft devil, my first request in ages!!, but i dont really like how this turned out ;-;

the first one to find out about you, other than makima for obvious reasons, is kishibe's work partner.

"i just gotta' get something from inside before you go, 'kay?" kishibe says, looking to his work partner quanxi. the woman couldn't be more disinterested at the sight of kishibe's home. it was a simple apartment, on the third floor, with a 'welcome' mat and scratch marks on the key slot. when the door pushes open, kishibe clears his throat. "i'm home!"

quanxi raises a brow, wondering why he was announcing himself. as far as the office knew, he was a single man, and stayed so with the help of (or lack thereof from) quanxi. walking into the kitchen, kishibe puts his things down on the counter, heaving off his heavy overcoat. quanxi stands still beside him, analysing the room. it was well-kept, maybe a little mess here and there. but nothing too bad.

when she hears footsteps, she thinks 'daughter?', but then you round the corner, dressed in one of his hoodies and sleeping boxers. her eyes widen a little as you wipe yours, yawning.

"kishibe? why are you—..." you stop, staring at quanxi, and she the same to you. kishibe leans against the counter, knowing that you two were bound to meet at some point. "who's this?"

"y/n, this is quanxi, my work partner." kishibe says, crossing his arms over his chest, "quanxi, this is y/n, the theft devil."

in a split second, you and quanxi charge at each other, quanxi drawing her blades and you turning your hoodie into a sword by ripping it off your body. kishibe frowns, now knowing his hoodie was no longer his.

"leave this residence!" you shout, jabbing the handle of your sword into her stomach. quanxi blocks, gaining her footing. "don't ever return!"

"you've grown weak, since the last time i saw you." she replies, kicking your side and watching you tumble back a few paces. quanxi knocks you off your feet, getting on top of you and holding her blade to your throat whilst yours was pointed into her stomach.

"alright, stop that." kishibe huffs, clapping his hands. he rests one on quanxi's shoulder. "get off her."

"you're housing this fiend?" quanxi spits, staring down at you. you glare at her, opting to stick out your tongue and thrash a little around her. "does... makima know?"

"surrender your life and i'll make you into a pretty bow!" you scowl, kicking your legs beneath her. she tilts her head at your threats.

"you think i would willingly let the theft devil stay in my home?" kishibe mutters, tugging quanxi up. she brushes the dirt off her as you stand as well, trying to lunge at her when kishibe holds you back. "makima put her under my care a few months ago, since the last host we fought got away from us."

you frown, looking away and tossing your sword into the pile of clothes in the corner. "your partner is a hybrid, kishibe. i can smell the distasteful scent." you huff, tugging on his shirt that you wore, "you devil hunters are the strangest beings on earth, working with your enemies..."

"calm it, y/n." he says, standing in front of you. you roll your eyes, crossing your arms and turning away, marching to the balcony where you throw open the sliding door and lean against the railing. the wind blows the shirt gently and kishibe looks back at quanxi. "she's a bit possessive."

"the theft devil often is." quanxi responds, fixing her jacket, "it seems she's claimed you as hers."

"she's technically mine since she's living under my roof." kishibe defends, hands on his hips.

quanxi looks around the apartment. "it doesn't look like it." she grabs her blade, sheathing it, and walks to the exit. "i'm waiting in the car. do what you must."

as she leaves, shutting the door behind her, kishibe turns to you. you're still sulking, making it known by the way you cross your arms and glare at the buildings in front of you. kishibe walks in your direction, putting his weapons on the counter. he then stands behind you, hands bracing the railing to trap you between it and his chest. you lean further into the railing, almost squishing your ribs in a desperate plea to get away from him.

"you can't fight anyone i bring to this apartment, y/n." he tells you, making you frown.

"why are you bringing others to my home?" you counter, tugging on your collar, "i don't want anything that isn't mine to come here."

"alright, alright." kishibe says, wrapping his arms around you and tugging you into his chest. you squirm, trying to get out, when you feel his lips press a kiss to your neck. you stop moving, shivering at his touch. "i guess you just feel nervous meeting other people."

"hm." you grumble back, hands trapped against your chest as kishibe holds you. he leans back, leaning a chin on your shoulder. "i want her head."

"she won't let you have it." he tells you.

"i'll steal it myself. it's what i'm good for." you claim, remembering her scent. you can identify where she is, sitting in the backseat of the black car out front. you perk up a little, kishibe tilting his head. "she smells of other fiends."

"i never know what quanxi gets up to." kishibe responds, rubbing the back of his head. he pushes himself away from you, watching as you turn to face him. "i have a job to get to. i'll bring home some dinner, got it?"

"okay." you respond, holding his sleeve. he stops and stares at you. "come home soon."

"i will." he says, kissing your forehead, "as soon as possible."

"good." you mutter out, holding him in his place. kishibe lets out a small chuckle, watching as you purse your lips. he then dips towards you and connects lips, giving you the gentle treatment as you eagerly kissed him back.

it had only been a couple of months, but you had managed to gain feelings for kishibe. and with your nature as the theft devil, of course you'd become jealous when you saw something that wasn't yours. kishibe had assumed it was your power at work, but slowly began to warm up to your attitudes and eventually reciprocated them.

he didn't know whether makima had planned this to make sure he was always on the public safety division's side, as you were technically 'property' of makima and she could do whatever she pleased with you, or if makima had no idea of your feelings. but kishibe knew for sure that he wanted you all to himself as you wanted him.

the second group to meet you is a young himeno, who knocks on kishibe's apartment door in hopes of getting him to help her track down another fragment of the gun devil. but it's early in the morning and you're in the kitchen trying to make your own breakfast since kishibe came home late last night.

"he better answer... if he gets mad, he can argue with makima, she sent me here." himeno sighs, placing a hand on her hip. she begins to knock again. "kishibe! open up! c'mon, this won't take long!"

the door swings open and you chuck out your hand straight away, trying to grasp at himeno. your vision focuses on her, and you watch as she pulls away quickly, her widening her eyes and attempting to push your hand away.

you fail to make himeno one of your possessions, making you dodge her punch and step back into the apartment.

"a fiend? who the hell are you?" himeno mutters, fixing her collar. she steps forward with caution, not knowing if you were dangerous enough to call upon her contract. "i'm pretty sure this is kishibe's apartment."

"leave now." you say, backing up into the living room. your hands held up, ready to fight, tugging on the collar of your (kishibe's) shirt. "or i'll make you my own."

"oh?" himeno giggles, tilting her head at you, "that's sweet of you."

you rush forward, swiping your glass of water on the table and turning it into a clear dagger. you dash at her, ducking under himeno's punch to push her against the closed door, bringing an arm up to strike her in her shoulder. but himeno is quick to react, side-stepping and hooking her arm around your elbow and yanking you down to the ground.

the impact shakes the table beside you that holds kishibe's keys, rattling in the plate. as himeno readies another attack, you roll out of the way and kick her in her stomach, making her land against the door. you turn your dagger in your hand, reeling back and launching it towards her head. himeno, quick to think, ducks down to dodge. the dagger strikes the wooden door, half of it sticking through.

"it's too early for this..." himeno groans, tilting her head at you with a huff.

before you can charge again, kishibe enters in nothing but his sleeping shorts, covering his mouth with a yawn. "mornin', sweetheart. what's for breakfast?" he questions, walking directly to you and unknowingly ignoring the other woman.

"morning..." you drop your act, reaching out and grabbing his arm as he leans forward to land a kiss on your cheek. he wraps a loose arm around your shoulders, making you walk towards the kitchen where himeno stood, confused. "i was thinkin' we go out for lunch. as long as i can see you, it shouldn't be a problem."

"um... kishibe?" himeno says, blinking at the sight of her coworker and a stranger/fiend so close. "what is going on?"

the man almost looks annoyed, but he wipes his face and sighs loudly, "what are you doing here?"

"makima sent me to discuss the gun devil shard that has popped up around here." himeno speaks, watching as kishibe grabs some sweatpants from the folded laundry on the couch and puts them on, "she said you may have some intel."

"well i don't know jackshit about that, so you've wasted your time." he calls, opening the fridge and taking out two eggs. he saw your bowl of cereal on the counter and placed it in front of you with a spoon, watching you begin to eat with your eyes on the two strangers. "i see you've met y/n."

"that fiend?" himeno scoffs, crossing her arms as she watches you eat your breakfast. aki's eye twitched at how familiar you sat in the room of devil hunters. "how long has she been under your watch?"

"probably around half a year now. surprised nobody else has noticed, to be honest." kishibe says, watching as you sit in silence now, "you two should become friends."

"fuck off." himeno grunts, crossing her arms and shaking her head.

"no way!" you shout, slamming your half-empty bowl on the bench.

"fine." kishibe responds, shrugging his shoulders. he waits until you return to eating to speak to himeno. "you should get goin'."

"right..." she sighs, collecting herself, "you stay safe, kishibe."

"you too." he says, watching as she leaves the apartment. he then lets out a breath, ruffling your hair. "c'mon, y/n. you can't keep doin' that every time someone comes in, got it?"

"whatever!" you call, pushing his hand away, "stop bringing random people in here!"

your complaints are common, but kishibe can't help that. he only nods, like always, and kisses the side of your head.

"alright, sweetheart. i won't." he chuckles, sitting beside you.

he hears about the next time he goes into work. makima asks him to keep the secret of you quieter, even though she was the one who sent himeno to his place knowing full well you were there. he begrudgingly agrees.

he listens because he would rather die than lose you. there's no way he'd let you land in the hands of makima...

you stole his heart. and he knew you had no intention of giving it back or sharing.

Knuckles Arc Anon here for the third and final time, there's a few lore decisions that I just remembered that confuse me.

1.Pachamac's character being completely different. I'm aware Sonic and friends are slightly different than their game versions but there's still the essence of them. Like Sonic still keeps his basic core concept of being a representation of the average teen/kid for example and extreme oversimplication. But Pachamac, I have no problems with Knuckles not being related to him or Pachamac not being from thousands of years in the past. My issue is him being a completely different character especially with the context of movie 2.

Like in the games Pachamac is a bloodthirsty asshole who's desire for power led to the destruction of his empire, unleashing an ancient god, and eventually the extinction of all Echidna. Which knowing the lore in movie 2 would be perfect and easy to adapt (u could ignore Chaos for now)

Why is he chill? It's not even hinted at that he died with regrets and wished he made the right decisions in life to explain this massive change in personality. Personally my theory was while watching is that Pachamac was slowly going to be revealed as being a terrible person who would try to force Knuckles to stick in his warrior mindset.

2. Knuckles who was probably a child or preteen being able to kill or seal Iblis... I'm sorry what? Unless Solaris being split apart just instantly lowered the power levels even more in the movieverse this completely fucks with the power scaling. And normally I don't care about this but this is beyond suspension of disbelief. Like yeah the Echidna tribe warred with the owls since they got the Master Emerald but Knuckles didn't even have the Emerald or all the necessary combat training at like 6? Also Knuckles didn't even use his fire powers in Movie 2 but I think we are left to assume it was part of his quest to get the Master Emerald but we are shown he didn't eve need it.

3. Knuckles was gone at minimum for a few days and Maddie calls him her kid. Why is she not blowing up Wade's phone looking for her kid? Set up suggests him being grounded would come back around but guess not?

i dont think i got ur second ask but yeah. I DO feel like SOMETHING's being set up with Pachacamac, considering they made him specifically the bitch who shot Longclaw in the 2020 movie. I don't think they completely forgot his personality but they were setting something off that either didn't get paid off or hasn't been paid off yet.

Another thing I would have really liked from this series would've been more acknowledgement that Knuckles is a child. He's about 15 when this series takes place. He shouldn't be thinking like this, Sonic's right he should be playing video games and reading comic books. Once again I feel like the first ep was setting that shit up and then they just. Forgot.

but anyway that's enough negativity lmao i just woke up with some awful cramps so im gonna watch the second movie til i pass out

[the-s1lly-corner]

"Run, Don't worry about me!" (Gangle, Ragatha, Pomni, Kinger)

i dont usually use prompt generators.... but oh boy this angst one is making my brain COOK... anyways this quote was recommended and hooboy it made me think of perhaps there being an abstracted circus member running around and cornering the reader and another character? oooohooohooo

POMNI:

oh she feels so helpless... i mean we know shes already been in this situation, the pilot.. and she ran, and yeah sure she almost didnt come back because of the false exit... but what if she was put in this scenario again, and with someone shes grown close to? i think she would stutter, physically when you tell her to make a run for it.. to go find caine for help.. this is all too familiar... i mean.. sure ultimately ragatha was fine, but she still doesnt know what an abstracted can truly do to someone outside of giving them painful glitches... i think she would try to argue, but you snapping at her to just run.. for YOU is what gets her to bolt.. she feels so terrible, it doesnt matter if the outcome ends in you being safe.. she cant stand the pit in her stomach.. thankfully, though, there are no fake escapes grabbing her attention, at least this time

RAGATHA:

similar to pomni i think she would be torn. on one hand she feels she needs to stick around to make sure you make it out okay, but on the other hand she knows that nothing will be done quickly if both of you end up out of commisision... so reluctantly, she runs and searches for caine. shes bolting as fast as she can, i like to think she holds the skirt of her dress up while she runs.. if she could, she would scream until her throat goes hoarse... and who knows maybe even in the digital world she can do that.. i dont think she would crack under the pressure though, really the only thing keeping her from doing so is the fact that you are waiting behind for her to come back with caine... on top of hat what if the abstracted left after beating on you? what if someone else got hurt? she would feel responsible for not being fast enough...

KINGER:

he would outright refuse to leave your side... or maybe he would run off as his instincts scream at him to vacate the area and he doesnt even register that you had told him to run... likely, he would have grabbed onto you in an attempt to drag you with him, to keep you out of harms away.. but when he looks down, he only finds one of his hands. as dark and comical as it is, the curse of having no arms finally shows its consequences... i think he would run back to you, subsequently leaving him getting attacked as well, his crumpled and glitching form left on the ground a few feet from yours... but youre still KICKING youre still alive... can one die or abstract from being attacked by someone whos already abstracted? hes not... actually sure.. his head is pounding with so much pain that he cant think straight.. definitely going to need a third party to get help for you two

GANGLE:

another one where a third party is going to need to come to send help, not because gangle listened to you and chickened out on getting help... or insisting to stay with you.. regardless, i dont think gangle would be able to outrun the monster before it strikes her down. your attempt to keep her save was in vain. imagine how much worse it would be if her sprinting to escape to find caine caught the abstracted's attention, and it immediately smashes her down in a crumpled flickering pile on the ground... with you, still unscathed forced to watch... you tried to keep her safe, planning to take the blow yourself but it blew up in your face... generally not a good feeling and your split second a shock and guilt probably costs you your own escape

[storm-saturn]

i know the galra had ten thousand years and unlimited resources to build up their defences and offences, to create an insane amount of weapons, to do evil experiments, and rule far across the universe, but HOW does it go from voltron being the defender of the universe, the most powerful weapon in the universe, something that zarkon has been hunting after for ten thousand years, something that made sendak (a very strong galra commander who would not let anyone stand in his way, according to himself) gasp and RUN.

yes he didnt fully run away but he retreated; he watched his battle cruiser get blown to fucking pieces, and remember this is the first time the paladins formed voltron. there was no sword. it was like their second or third time flying in their lions, and the only one that has had consistent flight simulations and training for however long is lance, and even then i think we saw him struggle to strategise a battle plan when going after the yellow lion with hunk because we heard him say he would cover hunk, we saw him carry that out but then get overwhelmed by the galra fighters in the air and take off after them.

hes a damn good pilot, and they all are, especially in the lions, but this is on a next level to what they could've been training for at the garrison.

so, this takes me to my point, why in the fucking world was voltron so fucking nerfed in the later seasons. like yes i dont want an easy win for voltron every battle, yknow, its about them working together as a team, its about voltron not always being the solution (aka when its better for them to split off into lions while they strategise), its about them actually coming up with strategies instead of just going in voltron first and hoping for the best.

its been a while since i watched the later seasons but rn im mostly thinking of atlas. like it just doesnt really make sense to me tbh? to build the atlas, yes, its essentially a replacement for the castleship, a place for a team to watch voltron from the sky, provide back up, but then to have it form into a voltron-esque robot ??? i just dont think thats where they should have taken it.

im glad for the castle of lions to take an important role in some episodes, where again the answer lies outside of JUST voltron, but it doesnt really make sense to build another giant robot.

it kind of takes away the development the paladins are supposed to go through as well, to work together better and stronger as a team thus opening up more weapons from voltron and learning how to fight in different ways.

idk i think the entire thing was kinda over-thought at the end as they were trying to keep the show going, but missing some of the other storylines they could've gone down, (black paladin lance, lotor redemption arc (which he did seemingly have but all along they planned to throw that in the bin), the team coming together as friends more often developing their bond as voltron but also as people, the team seeing their families again, not killing off shiro's FUCKING CANON BOYFRIEND IN A STUPID FUCKING SHITTY WAY ADAM DIDNT DESERVE TO DIE YALL ARE JUST COWARDS, and also the team kinda reflecting back to how they were jn the beginning and realizing they have grown (i say the team but i mostly mean lance and hunk because the writers just did not give two shits about them they really didnt get the chance to become fully thought out characters, they just had some insecurities and interests that were ignored until convenient then ignored again)).

[ladygoofus]

Hopefully you didn't only get random mean people in your dms talking about how shitty the third campaign was, because while undoubtedly flawed (its mostly improvised dnd, it comes with the territory) I think it was lovely. The fans are very much split at the center though, and many who disliked it are actively cruel about it for some reason.

The main thing that happened in the finale, which had been a point of discussion since about ep 50, was a big change in the way the gods of exandria exist.

Ludinus, the big bad wizard this campaign, was working on releasing an ancient being trapped in the red moon, Predathos, who's sole purpose was to eat the gods (they put it there in the first place when it came to exandria and ate two previously unknown gods). To do so he linked the red moon to exandria (trapping Vax in a marble) and then created a teleport to and from. Another thing he needed were Ruidusborn, people born under a flare (Ruidus would randomly get all shiny) who had a particular link to Pred. Imogen is obviously one, and it's discovered Fearne is also one (on purpose, her shitty bio dad tried to create a weapon-child). Ludinus needs at least one powerful Ruidusborn to be the vessel for Preddy once it's out. At the moment Liliana, Imogen's mom and his second in comand, was the best option.

Imogen had been trying to shake her mom out of her cult-induced haze, and seems to wake her enough to have a mole in Ludinus midst.

At this point though, Bells Hells are still debating what to do with the god-eating situation, none of them are particularly religious (the one guy they had, FCG, dies pretty late in the campaign and even they weren't truly a scholar), so they are legitimately contemplating letting Preddy eat all the gods, what they don't want, is Ludinus being the one to release the monster, they (obviously) dont trust a power hungry wizard to have possibly controll over it, and are worried it would go on to eat everything on exandria once the gods are gone.

Anyway, they end up talking to the Archheart, god of magic and beauty and whatever, and they tell BH that they're actually okay with Predathos being released, they're tired of the status quo, of how the gods continue to squabble and don't allow their creations (mortals) to truly thrive. Tells them actually its them and one other god (Matron of ravens) who are thinking its time to end this millennia long absolute reign. Tells them the gods are rallying to get down on Exandria and might cause a new calamity in their fighting. Also tells them the vessel would probably die but thats irrelevant to him, gods being gods.

So now BH goes to the moon with a vague plan to, stop Ludinus, maybeeeee let Imogen or Fearne be the vessel, figure it out from there (very Bells Hells, why plan anything, winging it works usually! Lmao).

They are also backed by both Vox Machina and Mighty Nein (played by the cast) as they have allied with all of the morals on Exandria in a big council to kind of save the planet and the gods. BH obviously have not told any of these allies they plan on possibly eating the gods.

Which was an interesting development but was unfortunately not really followed through very satisfyingly in the campaign. Though I have some hope post finale materials, being books comics or one shots, will address this a bit more. (A lot of fans are just angry at this and wanted BH to suffer for betraying this big council of npcs. Honestly it confuses me, guys its dnd, we all know matt is usually a kind dm especially in finales)

Anyway, BH go to the moon, where Ludi has absorbed Liliana's powers to be the one to free Preddy (he found out she was betraying him). They fight, kill Ludi (who has a clone somewhere obviously because. Evil wizards are immortal) and find themselves face to face with Predathos. Imogen offers herself as the vessel, and theres a big fight were BH try to smack her out of it in this big monster body. Mid fight they get a little chat with the Matron, were they finally decide (mid fight. Again very Bells Hells and it also made many fans angry lmao) to diminish Preddy and make Imogen control it enough to allow the Gods to chose: leave, or become mortals with reincarnation through the beacons. Imogen being part of the creature let her see that it truly couldn't care less about the rest of exandria, only saw its food (the gods) and its children (Ruidusborn).

So they defeat it and get back to Exandria, where even the gods are terrified of them (just Imogen tbf) and they manage to get an audience with the gods, and convince All of them (with a wonderful nat 20) to descend as mortals.

Its unclear how this will manifest exactly, as thats pretty much where the story ends, with some character focused epilogues for everyone, like we know they're all going to be reborn as babies, so for some years at least, none of them will be aware of who they are. But it's got fun possibilities!

Now, the main discourse I've seen is:

a) people who simply couldn't stand Bells Hells and hated their story loudly, often saying they should have let Mighty Nein do it instead. Which is just... Guys go rewatch the previous campaign, it's still there, no need to be shitty about the new one, you can just not watch it if it's not for you.

b) bells hells are villain and deserve consequences and punishment. I agree that the story could have been handled in a more interesting way, had a lot of potential for some truly gray areas that were barely scratched, like I said before. Personally I would have loved to see them having to hide and run away the rest of their lives because religious fanatics want revenge, but that's just not what Matt and the players wanted. They wanted an happy ending, and this is their story first of all. Plus Matt said there's still room to explore this in the future, but in the moment, after the rough times in the real world (including the LA fires that literally stopped them recording mid finale) they all wanted a moment of kindness and a positive conclusion to this exandrian saga.

c) they coerced the gods into depowering, which just means the betrayers will try to rise back into godhood and destroy everything. Or just recreated the same power structure there was before but on earth. And here's the thing, yeah, they did force most of the gods to do something they didn't want, it wasn't a real nice choice, matt was ready to have a few gods leave forever, but Matt is truly the only real god in Exandria. Sure, the gods might want to get back into godhood but that's for Matt to decide, to make the story interesting if he so choEses! So hypothetically? Yeah! But this is not just a world that exist on its own. Matt and the rest of the cast decide, and if he says "there no more divinity" then that's that. Evil powerful kings have always existed, now they're just no longer also immortal.

The main thing is that the stagnation is over now, and maybe, maybe some of the gods can finally find some common ground with their old siblings, can actually make peace, and can finally change perspective.

d) Ludinus won. To some extent, yes. He did. He wanted them dead, but they are still there, but no longer able to decide on a whim to destroy huge chunks of the planet for a squabble. He's currently still around, so there's a good chance they'll revisit him in a oneshot.

Anyway this got long, im sure I'm missing something, but heres a bit of a recap.

Imo Bells Hells are pretty great, the third campaign was good though flawed, and fans hate change of any kind.

Peace out.

THANK YOU KIND ANON, I was so curious about what's been going on in Critical Role. And don't worry, there have been no meanies in my DMs, just people offering to explain. I am sharing for anyone else who who's baffled about what happened in the Bells Hells campaign and why the fandom has mixed opinions.

I'm so curious where they're gonna take the next campaign!! Like a year ago I popped into one random episode stream where Pike appeared and I've been wanting to watch through it in part just to see all the Vox Machina and Mighty Nein characters return.

[urween]

I just finished a little list from the different alters and my brain is a mess rn. There it is :

The original : Kevin

The Horde : Hedwig, Dennis and Patricia

With the Horde : Jade, Goddard (the man who's talking about painting °glass), Norma (shy girl, said she should stop apologizing °glass), Luke (spoiler man °glass), B.T ("the beast is the only one who can defends us" °glass), Jalin ("ah ! we almost got you !" °glass), Polly and Rakel

Against the Horde : Barry, Orwell, Ian Reynolds (strong accent, twin of Mary °glass), Mary Reynolds (Ian's twin °glass), Mr. Pritchard (cinema teacher, specially japonese °glass), Felida (spanish girl °glass), Ansel, Heinrich, Samuel, Kat ("i'm not supposed to be here, Barry try to lead Kevin near the light" °glass) and Bernice

+ The Beast

unseen in Glass : Rakel, Orwell, Bernice and Ansel

seen in Split : Barry, Orwell, Dennis, Patricia, Hedwig, Kevin, Jade, and The Beast

I'm not sure about who is Jalin, Goddard and B.T ! It is really hard to find some stuff about these rarely seen characters so i just found a website which said these things. Same for Heinrich and Samuel, it says somewhere in Glass they talk about them against the Horde even if we not cleary seen the two of them on screen. But i'm sure the man talking about painting is not Orwell 'cause he's with the Horde and Jade said that Orwell wasn't. And i'm also pretty sure about who is with the Horde or against 'cause we can see a document in the movie Glass about that. My only frustation is that i don't know who's the man at the final scene, the one who talks at the third person, maybe Heinrich ? Also James said he played 23 characters but Night removed 3 of them on the final movie (glass) and it's right if we dont' count Orwell 'cause he already played him in Split.

I'm open to every suggestion and opinion !

**with modifications

[timetravell]

Twas the first day of school, here is a little recap:

We mainly went over all the new procedures. Theres one about phones and if they have to take it up 4 times in a row you have to pay a fine of 15 dollars. And the dress code regressed?? No teacher is enforcing it though. We still have the same tardy policy (10 tardies = ISS).

If this phone policy doesn't 'work' then we just- wont be allowed to bring our phones at all Which is a HUGE safety concern.

below is a recap of all my class periods <3

1st period: Colorguard

Nothing much happened here, again a lot of today was just a repeat of all procedures. There were a few band specific things, such as attendance, rehearsals, UDB, and stuff pertaining to the band hall itself. There is now a form so if need be, your istrument can be turned into the shop to get fixed!

We also cleaned out the guard locker room/area. All of the costumes from last year got put in one of the lower lockers. We somehow found stuff from seniors who left YEARS ago. And 3 year old water....in a jug still.. yikes.

2nd: Forensics!!!

Im actually so happy I got to be in this class. Im looking forward to a lot of things in it. Especially the labs and that one lecture about blood splatters. Our teacher is actually absent this first week, but thats because he's also the volleyball coach. (Our volleyball team is in Hawaii for nationals I believe)

We had three assignments. One of them was designing a locker (mine is super cute, it has a Marina poster), the second was a Syllabus scavenger hunt which isn't due until tomorrow but I wanted to get a jump on it so I finished it at home. The third was homework, which was just a student survey.

3rd: ELA

It was just, again, more policy updates and a little get to know you card. This class, thank god, wont be all on computer. We'll have some paper assignments. We haven't gotten our reading yet (which upsets me a teeny bit, but I'm sure we'll learn about it later in the week)

4th: AP World History

I'm actually so exited for this class its not even funny. I was genuinley upset when we didnt get our unit 0 packets and when I found out we werent getting our textbooks until Friday.

We did learn that the AP teachers are no longer allowed to split that 70% weighted major assignments to 40/30. Which absolutely sucks, and on top of that our first unit is stuff our state says we NEED to know to get said World History credit. Which means we wont even be tested on it come spring. Our district hates us.

I actually have a good teacher for this AP class, last year I had a very (idk how else to put it) 'White privlidged' teacher. AND AND I narrowly missed being stuck in a class with someone I despise. Made me so happy!

I also learned that 'The History of the Entire World I guess' is pretty accurate! So I can use that as a study resource for like- a short summary.

5th: Astronomy

SO SO SO excited for this class. And there is no math! None! (If they added math it would have to become an AP class). My teacher is so funny unironicly. He's very monotone and you would think he'd be a bore, but he's actually really funny in my opinion.

We actually will talk about why Astrology isnt real which I think will be really fun. I dont nessicarily believe astrology is real, I like the idea of it. But going indepts on why it isnt is going to be really interesting!

We also will get to learn how galaxies and solar systems form, which will be really helpfull for making my story, Abyss. Theres also gonna be night labs!! (if we go we get a free 100 on a test grade) And maybe some Day Labs if the school can get their hands on a solar telescope.

6th: Geometry

It's geometry. There wasnt really anything of note here. Just the fact that i somehow have a class full of kids who dont care abt the Highschool grades. (I have confirmed this, it isnt speculation) It's gonna be a loud period..

7th: Band (they split it up weird)

Again nothing of note. EXCEPT NOW I HAVE TO LEARN THE SHOW?? ON MY FLUTE?? WHAT??

Im in guard, i dont do 'band' until concert season. I cant work on my solo during this period OR my homework. Pissed me of factually because the original plan was as followed:

Used as a study hall

Practice choreography

Practice flute

But nope! They hate me! /j

8th: Musical Theatre!

So many new people! Its gonna be so much fun! I have a lot of friends in that class so im really excited!

I already know the song im gonna do for our first solo, just gotta get permission cuz its technicly not from a musical (Wont say im in love from hercules)

Anyways thats it!! Tmmr will most likely have some more stuff so follow if you want to see!

I didn't really realize that my friends were staring at me until i broke down into a few soft laughs and saw the blueberry boy, that i STILL DONT KNOW THE NAME OF, gave me an angry glare like the one he gave me on the walk to school.

He then turned away and walked off after shaking his head, probably in disappointment after seeing how stupid this friend group was. Then i saw my friends staring at me in absolute shock"(y/n)... i will pray for you today..." Childe said with a scared tone in his voice.

"Hm? what do you mean? does this have to do with that purple haired boy before?" I asked. Ayaka then shook me by my shoulders and screamed"YES (y/n) THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!! THAT GUY IS THE WORST PERSON TO EVER EXIST!!!"

I opened my mouth to ask a question, but the bell for first period wrung and we had to each run to our classes. None of us had the same first period so we had to split our ways, so i was all alone on the walk to my class. As i kept walking, these five freshmen looking people stood confused looking for their classes.

There were two boys, one had light blue hair, another had dark blue hair. then there were three girls. two of which had blond hair while the third had dark blue hair. i had assumed they were freshmen not only from how confused they were, but also the fact that one of them was a year younger than me in middle school. And luckily i knew him well enough to be classified as friends.

"Hey Xingqiu! I haven't seen you in years!"i yelled towards him "Ah! Madame (y/n)! It is great to see you again after all this time. How are you my liege?" he replied using his funny tone of voice to address me. "Hark! Whom art thou whom trespasses apon thy lieges! You art doth known in thy eyes of thy beholder!" one of the blond girls said to me, she looked angry too. but she did have a nice eyepatch tho!

I luckily knew what she was saying since i had read the same storybook as she did, what was it called again? Princess Fischl, something? Whatever."Ark I whom bestowed the name (y/n) Urania from the holders above! What name has throned your person?!" I replied back. I wasn't expecting to sound like that, but i kinda liked it."My name is Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort! I applaud you for the politeness of a goddess!"

"I thought your name was Amy?" Xingqiu gave away.

"..."

"..."

"Hey umm we still can't find our way around this place. Can you please help us miss... (y/n) right?" the boy with the light blue hair shyly asked me. "A-ah my name is Chongyun Zhou. It is a pleasure to meet you miss (y/n)."

"Oh Chongyun, no need to be so formal! Now show me where your first class is and i will be sure to help you." I replied. i knew this school like the back of my hand at this point, so i was sure that i could help these poor kids get to their right classroom. The dark blue haired girl finished her chitter chatter with the other pigtailed blond girl and turned to me"Oh i've heard a whole lot about you! You're (y/n) Urania, the most well known person in this whole school! I can't believe i get to meet and talk to someone as kind and pretty as you..." the girl said in a dazed expression. "My name is Xiangling Mao by the way! My dad owns that one Liyue Cuisine restaurant!"

Oh my goodness she was the brightest girl i've ever met besides Yoimiya and Hu... But the small blond girl looked a little shy, so i decided to chat with her."Hey, what's your name? i feel like i recognize you from somewhere?" The girl looked a little bashful before answering me"Umm.. My name is Barbra Pegg... you probably know me from my sister Jean Gunnhilder!" A lightbulb flashed in my head.

JEAN GUNNHILDER?!! SHE WAS MY BABYSITTER???!! Oh my goodness how long ago that was. she was the sweetest person ever and i only saw very few pictures of Barbra when she was young. and now i get to meet her for the first time in high school! i quickly told her than and we bonded instantly. then i started sending these baby birds off to their classes that they had no idea how to get to!

⊰᯽⊱┈─time skip─┈⊰᯽⊱

I ran to my class in the speed of light and made it before the bell with a few minutes to spare! I picked a seat where i saw no one sitting. Unfortunately it was front and center of the whole class.... I put on my headphones and listened to some music before i heard the bell to start class. I looked up to see that same purple boy from this morning who told my friends to shut up and who gave me multiple snarky glares was sitting right behind me...

I decided to write more of my first time reactions and thoughts to rvb Season 9!

This should (hopefully) be the third and final part for season 9.

Season 9 part 3:

Imagine showing up to your funeral, and they don’t even give you a respectable eulogy… They just talk shit about how you talked a lot…

Yeah I would kill all of them… Simmons is 10 times the man I’ll ever be.

Oh so Maine straight up stole the grenade launcher! Kinda like he did with AI units… history is a full circle once again

You know… I feel like the director should’ve given them equipment just in case the sarcophagus thing was heavy. Which it is. The Director is a really bad boss

Understatement of the century I know

Washington I’m 80% sure half the things you freelancers do is improvise… and honestly I’d be sick of it too

Oh yeah Carolina let’s just fucking kick out friends off of a SEVERAL STORIES TALL BUILDING. You’re lucky you have that armor.

The freelancers do heists the same way I played Payday 2: Five minutes of stealth before going “nah fuck this” and blasting the brains of some poor shmuck all over the walls

I think you SHOULD feel bad for the people down there, you tossed MAINE at them Carolina.

You chose to use the flamethrower… inside a building… no wonder the freelancers kick your guy’s asses on the reg… yall are fucking idiots

DONT YOU DISRESPECT THAT GUN IT SAVED OUR ASS IN REACH. Bouncy gun is fun

“That bit with the purple plane? That was just showing off,” well when your number one in Freelancer ranked mode you might as well act like it Wash

You know Carolina kinda acts like Tex a bit. No wonder they’re at odds. There’s only room for one dommy mommy bisexual badass in this show

Oh it’s not a bomb… it’s worse… it’s a big ass fucking lazer

AHSBBFMSM THE JPEG EXPLOSION is KILING ME

Yeah Carolina I bet it is karma… deserved Karma

NOT THE XYLOPHONE!

CAROLINA HITTING THE FUCKING Sonic Adventure 2 CITY ESCAPE “talk about low budget flights. No food or movies? I’m outta here!” ON THE SARCOPHAGUS

I’m surprised Project Freelancer wasn’t investigated and shut down earlier with how much property damage and civilians they endanger.

Tex being responsible about the about the team is a nice change of pace–oh she was paid…. makes sense.

Simmons can play the Banjo? When’s his new single dropping?

Grif be supportive of your Brofriend (Bro + Boyfriend = Brofriend)

Wow… imagine your best friend being closer with your ex/not-ex girlfriend than you.

Couldn’t be me Church… mainly cause I’m gay and don’t have a girlfriend

Sarge, the planet is quite literally breaking apart, and your plan is to blow it up… honestly I’m not even surprised.

It’s actually astounding how absolutely this heist went to shit… and quickly too.

“We had to learn to care for our equipment” Tex says. Cut to five minutes ago where she drove a motorcycle through a glass wall.

HOLY SHIT MAINE CAN TAKE SOME DAMAGE! I mean I know they’re wearing Spartan armor and all, but JEEZE.

I love how even the freelancers almost (emphasis on almost) fumble their stuff like the red and blue teams.

Like when Carolina juggles the briefcase in the air before getting a hold of it, and then immediately getting kicked back.

Damn… more Carolina and Tex beef.

How much do I wanna bet Grif’s plan is gonna backfire hilariously?

Yes it backfired horribly… because now Andy exists… again

Oh hey Delta was born! Great! Which means Alpha/Church was just tortured to the point that his mind split…. Not great…

“We’re the good guys? Right?” Oh… you’re concerned you’re not? What clued you in, the insane property damage, murder, or endangered civilians?

“I forget you…” AAAHHH WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS SO SAD YET SO GOOD.

And they brought him back… that’s actually really fucking funny.

THEYRE GONNA KILL THE DIRECTOR?! AWWW YES THIS MOTHERFUCKER HAS IT COMING.

Conclusion: YES I CANT WAIT TO WATCH SEASON 10
