#zack plays fate go

[brave-symphonia]

Huh, did not know that.

I always thought Achilles just fell after his heel got pierced, and that was the end of him.

Is this a Fate thing or are there some versions of the story of Achilles that say this?

someone makes a loveless card game what does genesis think of it

*Angeal sits down with his tray at their usual table in the mess hall, where Sephiroth and Genesis are playing a card game*

Angeal: Ooh, what's that?

Genesis: A new Loveless-themed card game I got in a PR package. Sephiroth and I are playing to test how fun it is, it breeds friendship, camaraderie and kindness.

Sephiroth: You're an insufferable megalomaniac and your dishonesty is the reason you will die alone.

Angeal:

Genesis: That's just salt talking. You're losing because you LACK VISION.

Sephiroth: I'm not losing!

Genesis: You said "oh no" under your breath when I played my last card.

Sephiroth: Your deck is a flaming wreck of poor planning and juvenile delusion. You're hoarding Act II cards like they're edible and you're starved for glory.

Genesis, scandalized: ACT II Is the emotional core of the tragedy!

Sephiroth: You played Doomed Love Monologue THREE TIMES. IN. A. ROW.

Angeal: Guys, please don't yell—

Genesis: BECAUSE YOU KEEP FALLING FOR IT, YOU TRAGIC, EMOTIONALLY REPRESSED HAIRBALL.

Sephiroth: YOU JUST CANCELED YOUR OWN FATE'S CRUEL HAND WITH THAT LAST MOVE. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT YOU'VE SABOTAGED YOUR ENTIRE ARC??

Genesis, staring at his cards in horror: …no.

Sephiroth: You fool.

Genesis: DON'T YOU DARE—

Sephiroth: I ACTIVATE INEVITABILITY OF TRAGEDY. ALL YOUR UNITS ARE LOCKED INTO ACT V. YOU CAN DO NOTHING BUT SUFFER.

Angeal: ???

Genesis: YOU CHEATING, SLANDER-SPEWING BASTARD.

Angeal: Okay, hold on, this game seems super complicated. What are the actual rules here?

Genesis: Oh. There are no rules. You're supposed to pretend there are rules and make them up as they go.

Sephiroth: The objective is to be dramatic and win the scene.

*Angeal gets up*

Angeal: I'm gonna go sit with Zack and Kunsel. They may be making a snowman out of mashed potatoes, but at least I won't feel like a child of divorce.

summary : bradley can't stay away and well jake soon finds out leading to a blow up game of dogfight football

warning: none its still goofy fun well one fight but other than that it's fluff

previous part

Never had he been sure of anything then fact was he sitting across from his future wife. From the way she laughed to smile , how she animatedly told him of the different kids in her class and how each was a character in their own right . he imagine would she talk like that about their kid albeit he was getting a little ahead  since he hadn’t even asked her on the first date nor did her brother his fellow aviator and well close friend he was even talking to her in the first place .  yet in that moment i wasn’t on his mind , jake wasn’t on his mind as he sat in the cafe on what was the third time he was meeting with the woman he couldn’t get out of his head. 

“ i’ve not let you get a word in have i ?” she chuckled looking up as she took a bite of her brownie . 

“ seriously talk away it amazing to hear about little katie and her overcoming the sandpit but i do wanna know if little zack got his dog cat yet?” he smiled almost dreamily as she laughed  the way her head fell back and the way the sound literally warmed his insides better then any coffee he’s drank so far taking full advantage of his weekend off  not caring to go to the beach  or beat jake in dog tag football like he usually is no bradley is content with sitting in a cafe listening about kids he never even saw . so lost in her not even the buzzing on his own phone snapped this spell she had on him till her own went off . 

“ sorry let me take this” she smiled before bringing it up to her ear. “ hey idiot … yeah i can come and bradley can bring me  .. what he’s here with me know  yeah jake we will be there soon” she rolled her eyes before hanging up . “ my dumb brother wants us to meet him at the beach something about some game” she shrugged as bradley came crashing back to earth. 

“ yeah sure  lets go i’ll follow you” he smiled as took got ready to leave watching as she walked out. “ well i guess i’ll see my parent quicker than i thought i would “ he sighed  leaving a tip on table  before slowly heading to what was going to be his doom . 

From the look on jake seresins face when they arrive on the beach well doom was the right and accurate world to describe the following . 

“ I’ll sit with little seresin ..hey i’m natasha you can call me nat”  phoenix smiled really not wanting to be caught in the crossfire of what was about to come as Mav called the two captains to only be jake and bradley . 

“ i told you she’s off limits chicken “ jake glared getting in position . 

“ i told you it’s fate bagman “ rooster almost copied as the two glared it didn’t matter who was on side no this was between them two and them alone in this game .  the moment javy passed the ball throwing it to bob who ultimately tried to throw it back to jake only for fanboy to intercept and throw it to payback then in turn threw it too rooster .  well with who he was determined to impress stood on side lines rooster ran playing probably the best he had since he ever came across the game . 

“ 1 point to roosters team “ Mav called as y/n cheered making her brother pissed off . 

 Throughout the game both men done whatever in their power knocking each other over diving and dotting  til the scores where tied both panting and glaring at each other as their teammates honestly was happy to call it a tie . 

“ is it usually this … violent” y/n asked nat worried for both men . 

“ well there a more push rate here” nat winced instantly catching her on to what it  was . 

Once she watched as the two began head to head like to bulls charging til it was no longer just pushing and well fist started fly sending the men over pull them apart both men yelling at mav with bruise cheeks and egos and she walked closer. 

“ he’s dating my sister” 

“ it’s not a date …yet she’s an adult asshat” .

“ a girl really grow hell up both of you” mav rolled his eyes as the two began shouting back and forth . 

“ sorry sir may i try  “ she smiled sweetly up all doe eyes and sugarly sweet . 

“ i’m willing to try anything kid knock yourself out “ now what mav didn’t expect was the loud whistle  that shut the boys up or the fast she grab both of the men by the ear . 

“ now y’all gonna talk like adults or am going to show you how we treat misbehaving children  “ she looked between the two sternly as they instantly shut up . 

“ you can’t date rooster , one he’s old as hell and two he’s my friend” jake huffed. 

“ jakey buddy you have slept with  i could easily name five of my friends and another five co workers   another think if i wanna sleep with or date someone i will choose myself i am adult seem more of an adult then you” she crouched. 

“ i said that , i’m not old as hell ” rooster spoke up . 

“ and you well goading my brother and hitting him ain’t gonna happen again because idiot or not i kinda love him is that clear “ she  stood as he gulped and nodded. “ now  shake hands and grow up because i will give that man my number and jake can tell you how my mama kept his ass in straight line” she stomped over to Mav. 

“ sorry chicken “ jake grumbled. 

“ sorry bagman” . 

“ like you mean it jesus “ she rolled her eyes . 

“ sorry bradley .. shit maybe if she dates you  be less well that” .

“ sorry jake … dude i might marry you sister today” . 

“ you can take me on a date first bradley brooster radley “ she chuckled gathering her things. 

“ have you ever thought of joining the navy?” Mav asked shocked at the scene before him . 

“Oh and bradley pick me up at 7 “ was all she said before she headed up the beach . 

“ yessss ma’am… my wife is so pretty” he sighed happily . 

“ you aint married her yet” jake chuckled 

“ i’m gonna i’m telling you its’ ….” 

“ Fate “ the all groaned . 

Now as first date would be, he was never a ball of emotions as he was now almost pacing a hole in jake seresins floor as he waiting for her to get ready . 

“ really man i’ll lose my deposit you keep that up “ the blonde huffed eyes on the game that played on his television . 

“ sorry my nerves are gonna dent your income man i’m freaking out and all while in the chicks living room in front of you “. 

“ man where was confidence from earlier look for some weird reason she really likes you so i’m pretty sure even you couldn’t screw this up “

“ yeah thanks for the shiner really what my outfit needed “ he grumbled . 

“  you ready” she called and god she almost knocked him on his ass as he took in the sight of her man she could wear a potato sack and still look like a queen . the white sun dress hit her thighs or the red lips that paired well with her nails like something straight out of his fantasy . 

“ yeah .. yup ..yes.. Lets go “ he sighed ignoring the weird look jake was giving him or the way she was hiding her amusement . 

“ home by midnight” jake called . 

“ i’ll be home whenever i want to” she called back as door shut .

“ jesus he really is gonna be my brother in law” the blonde groaned .

part three

[evil-robot-cat]

I replayed the temple tonight and I could swear when Cloud chases after Aerith for the key, he switches from ore to watashi like. once. Is that-?! I gotta play it again, you guys, this is haunting me!

Also Zack's short speech about "Is this fate? Who decided that? Fuck fate! I choose. I decide!" and then Barret asking Cloud how he knows which way to go and Cloud saying, "Fate's guidance."

The layers. The layers.

It's so good.

Richie…the Red Ranger who never was

After reading the tell-all book from the dad of the actor who played Richie (the late Mauricio Mendoza), I learned “Richie” was supposedly going to be signed as an actual Power Ranger. Crazy, right? 30+ years later, I just learned of this little known nugget. But as fate would have it, Richie was written off (aka not seen again without explanation) after half the power team was fired. Curtis, Zack’s cousin, also met the same fate.

Despite popular belief that those two were never up for a promotion, let’s set that aside and assume the book’s author, Jose Mendoza, didn’t stretch the truth about his son’s prospects of becoming a Ranger—how do you think the show would have fared with Richie as Red instead of Rocky? Two things come to mind: Rocky was technically Latino, though the show never explored that aspect of Jason’s replacement, so we still would have gotten a Latino Ranger with Richie. But also, and more pointedly, his transition into the team would have felt more…organic? He had an actual backstory that didn’t feel forced when compared to The Ninja Encounter arc.

The tell-all book, sadly, revealed Mauricio’s mental health issues, which led to his firing from the program—he had stopped showing up to set. If he and “Curtis” weren’t meant to be short-lived red herrings in the White Ranger build-up and were originally destined for rangerhood, I’m curious if Mauricio’s firing had put those plans on ice—a pivot then made to introduce three unknowns instead.

I also lament Curtis, who would have made a fine Black Ranger. Super likable character, full of charisma. If you didn’t know already, the actor was already doing the Black Ranger’s ADR voice work after Walter Jones’ firing. But then there would still be the matter of casting a new Yellow, so how would that work out? Maybe Cousin Silvia?! lol. Heck, Angela? A reformed Scorpina perhaps?! 😳

Jokes aside, I am pouring one out for the late Mauricio Mendoza and his missed opportunity. 🥃 I already have a tentative plan for him to play a bigger part in my current MMPR/Masked Rider fan fic, so we’ll see him again soon, in some capacity. 🤌🏾

[the-fandom-crossroads]

Just finished rewatching Advent Children with bro and wow that explained a lot more than I thought it would. Bro had never seen it and I remembered the white void showing up there and that the 3 villains were sephiroth clones. I completely forgot the other hints towards Remake.

But Spoilers for Remake and Rebirth I guess?

I now understand why everyone insists Remake Sephiroth is Advent Children Sephiroth. Like the exact same monologue about going to space with cloud. And Advent Children was him revealing this new bigger plan to cloud. If Remake Sephiroth was the original VII sephiroth he should still just want to use meteor because it's "mother's" will.

But like all that is old news for folks who remembered Advent Children when playing through Remake 4 years ago.

I think the things Rebirth builds on about the lifestream is more interesting. The pond that forms in Aerith's church in AC is a natural mako spring like the countless ones we find in rebirth. Flowers are able to grow there long after Aerith's death because of this spring just below the surface.

When Cloud "dies" in Advent Children he meets Aerith and Zack in the white void before they decide to put him back. He's released from the lifestream in the natural mako spring now in Aerith's church just like how Tifa is tossed back out when she enters with the whale.

Again for anyone who's recently watched AC it's obvious the white void is meant to represent the lifestream. But that means Rebirth is confirming the Lifestream is a bridge between the different universes. Zack enters the Lifestream and runs into Remake cloud who's also been pulled in. AC is all about how Sephiroth is still in the lifestream and that's how Kadaj is able to be possessed by him once he has enough Jenova cells. Cloud kills Sephiroth putting him back in the Lifestream. The Lifestream that connects all vii worlds.

AC Sephiroth then uses the lifestream to start appearing before a Cloud that has only just reached Midgar. His Meddling summons the whispers which fight back to keep things to the "cannon" timeline. Sephiroth of course tricks team Avalanche into destroying the head Whisper allowing him to take control of them. Again old news for anyone that knew Sephiroth wanted them to break the bonds of Fate.

But if Sephiroth is using the lifestream to mess with other worlds. it shouldn't be a surprise one of the Aerith's also already in the lifestream got involved too. As other's have pointed out the Aerith that gives cloud the not empty White materia isn't remake Aerith. But another Aerith that pulled him into that universe to give him a functioning white materia. But somehow Remake Aerith knew the hand over happened? Because in the white forest she asks cloud for the materia and they swap so she has a functioning white materia. That part confuses me a little. How did our Aerith know the handoff happened?

Also Rufus and Kadaj have a conversation about how everything's a cycle. That Jenova "Mother" will always try to destroy the planet and the lifestream/humanity will always fight back. Made me realize AC Sephiroth wasn't going back on his timeline to make a new one but hopping into the next timeloop. OG VII and Advent Children's cannon is locked in. Remake is truely that a remaking of the timeline made possible by Cloud and Co defeating the whispers that enforce the timeloops. So now instead of one spiral after another and infinite number of spirals are forming while the remake loop is still happening.

That's why Sephiroth waited until the *spoilers* cannon event to appear in Rebirth. It's an all the stars a line situation. All timeloops have that moment, regardless of how it's different in different versions.

But Rebirth's cannon event was just a test run. Sephiroth wanted to see how much power he could gain just from multiple timelines merging at one point.

Sephiroth already told us what he really wants. The Black materia but not the one from the remake universe no the ultimate black materia forged from all the black materia. And what's the next big plot point that could be a cannon event? Cloud's breakdown at the northern crater after handing the Black Materia over to Sephiroth. If there's any point where the timelines would over lap it would be there. We already saw the power boost Sephiroth got. If that power boost happens to the black Materia yeah that's a multiverse destroying meteor right there.

Wow was that a long wall of text about stuff everyone else probably already knows. But I just had to put all the clarity Advent Children gave me about Remake and Rebirth somewhere. Expect a spiral timeline graphic in the future. Cause I feel like i'm forgetting to explain some of it right.

[branules]

Why do you like aeriseph, sorry if this comes off as rude but I'm generally not too involved in any fandoms so I can't figure out for myself why ppl like this that's just my dumbass lmao

ok i've sat on this one for like a week debating if i should answer or not but sure. i'll preface this by saying that there is no canonical basis for aeriseph in ffvii. like i can't stress enough how much i am making shit up because i like to have fun. but anyway.

the short answer is:

1. sephiroth and aerith are my two favorite fictional characters. 2. i like to draw my two favorite characters lezzing out, because i am a lesbian, and because my sephiroth is transfem. it makes me smile.

as for the longer answer:

i like how much aerith and sephiroth parallel and contrast each other. i like the idea of aerith of having a secret affair with the evil dead woman she is duty-bound to save the world from. not to mention this evil dead woman's ties to zack and the incident that took him from her. i like the idea of the planet's steward and calamity's child going against their natures because they can't resist each other, and it becomes haunting and tragic knowing aerith's eventual fate and the sort of eternal damnation that waits for sephiroth afterwards for doing something so unforgivable, considering she goes from godhood to immortal planet parasite unable to pass on. i find it soooo compelling to think that despite their feelings for each other, aerith ultimately loved the planet and her friends more, enough to do everything in her power to stop sephiroth with Holy, and that sephiroth chose an extraterrestrial brainworm masquerading as a mother over a kind-hearted woman who offered her genuine love. i like the idea of aerith drawing out all the human parts of sephiroth that sephiroth tried so hard to exorcise herself of. i could go on about this for forever but basically i just like doomed yuri.

some necessary addendums:

first, a lot of people like to imagine aerith and sephiroth as siblings. that's fine and cute and i totally get it, but that's not what i'm trying to do. i don't interact with a lot of aerith and sephiroth content that views them with that angle, even if it's cute, precisely because i don't want to cross those wires or make anyone uncomfortable thinking i'm trying to come at this from an incest or underage angle.

second, i want to add that i really don't fw the other aeriseph content i've seen out there lol. i just think i'm into aeriseph for fundamentally different reasons, considering i have no desire to depict them as a het pairing or create gooner noncon content and the like. it isn't that i'm better than anyone, i just don't want to be associated with what goes on in that pairing tag on ao3, and i can't blame anyone who doesn't like aeriseph for that very same reason. i have yet to see someone go about aeriseph in the same l way as i do (sighhhhhh </3) so until then i'm just going to continue playing with my barbie dolls in my locked ivory tower. i am delusional but i am free. hope this helps <3

Close || Matt Murdock x Reader

summary: Soulmate Au! In which [Name] has Daredevil as a soulmate and Matt unwillingly wants [Name] in his life. However Fate does its job and always brings them together.

Prologue

a/n: this is totally not proofread and this is my first time posting a fic on tumblr, don’t hate on me yall. still learning the ropes of using this app

The incredible phenomenon known as the soul connection, between two people intertwining their bodies and soul into a deeper profound connection. Whether it’s a scrape, a hit, or simply a paper cut etched into the person’s physical body, it’s mirrored by the soulmate. Fortunately, the injuries sustained isn’t felt by the other individual in any way. 

There’s [Name] who worked hard in her owned business, a coffee shop; a calm and serene place where people come for relaxation. The sweet aroma of coffee casted over the costumers, a soft melody of classical music playing in the background. 

It stood tiny compared to the other buildings, yet no matter how tiny it is. It’s popular amongst office workers, locals and tourists. 

The exterior was a caramel brown that glistened brighter in the sunlight. The sun reflected off the tinted windows, stopping unwanted heat from going through.

Costumers bustled in and out throughout the day, a warm cup of coffee in hand. A new order came in every five minutes, the soft sound of the espresso machine brewing overlaps the music.

“Is your soulmate that reckless?,” Marci Stahl, one of the many people who frequently come, pointed out towards the bruises, taking [Name]’s arm gently.

Marci is a lawyer from Landman and Zack, which is close by to [Name]’s cafe. Well, was a lawyer at Landman and Zack. She’s also known as [Name]'s childhood bestfriend who had a major dislike towards the soulmate despite not even knowing who it is. Cause who injures themselves that much? 

Though, she couldn’t feel the bruising of her flesh, she still wondered how can one person obtain so many contusions. [Name] brought her arm closer to her face, observing the reddish injuries.

Blotches of red and blue marks littered her arm; going from her forearm to her shoulder. The discoloration contrasting to her regular skin color. 

“Marci, they're probably really clumsy or something,” [Name] creased her brows together in distress - most of the time the bruises were on her torso. None of them were this noticeable. Yet, these were on display. For everyone to see, she tried her best with concealer but they still managed to seep through the makeup.

"All my long sleeve shirts were dirty, i couldn’t wear ‘em. You know these don't hurt," she assured the lawyer.

Marci rolled her eyes, “The probability of them being a criminal is high.  What would you do then? I’ll see you tomorrow.” She stated before turning her heel, walking out the shop leaving [Name] to ponder the question. 

Fate must have cursed her to have such an unfortunate soulmate who hurts themselves every other day, luckily fate also decided to spare them and not make them feel the pain. [Name]'s thoughts wandered off to what kind of person her soulmate was, if they were some sort of criminal or something. Perhaps a gangster getting into trouble.

To be fair, the amount of bruises she gets is unordinary to any citizen in America. She did think of countless scenarios if she were to have a criminal as a soulmate.  

Such as, joining them as their partner in crime or leave her life as a barista behind and make a new one without her soulmate. But, she doubted it would ever happen. Or maybe, it was one of the avengers. Though it was high unlikely, it still wasn’t out the window. 

Almost 30 minutes after Marci left, the barista heard the door bells ring, her head shooting up, her hand instinctively grabbing the notepad in her apron. [Name] headed towards the trio who sat themselves near a booth hidden away from most costumers. 

The warm air welcomed the group with the scent of coffee. Large arrays of sweets ranging from slices of cake to cookies. Soft chatters from individuals surrounding the place. Everyone else enjoying their treat and sipping on the coffee. 

“Good evening, how’s every one’s day been?” A smile plastered on her face, her fingers fiddling with the pen. The blonde lady with pretty blue eyes locked eyes with [Name] before traveling down to her arms which had the noticeable bruises. It was evident on her face that she was ready to question it. 

In result, [Name] hid her arms behind her back and awkwardly posed, hoping she’d get the hint and stop looking. One thing she always hated was when people stared and ask too many questions if she’s getting hurt or something else. Nevertheless, it was nice knowing people cared for her physical condition. 

“It’s going great now that we’re here celebrating our win with delicious desserts and coffee. Later on, we’re definitely looking forward to lots of drinking,” A male with medium length brown hair exclaims quite loudly. 

“Names Foggy, and you are…” Foggy said before glancing down at the name tag on [Name]’s shirt, “[Name].” He finished with a grin. 

“This is Matt Murdock and Karen Page.” He says and pointed at each person. “Give us your best recommendations for coffee and desserts, [Name]. I’ll put my faith in your hands.” He added. 

“Well, in that case. Is anyone allergic to anything?” [Name] questioned, look at each of them. Her eye lingered at the man with red glasses whose brows furrowed, almost seems like he was concentrating on something. [Name] then turned to Karen, who gently nudged Matt who broke his focus. 

“Huh?” Matt asked and looked over at her, he registered what she had asked and answered. “Oh, i’m not allergic to anything.” He said rather quickly and gave a quick smile. 

“Okay,” She brought the pen to her face, lightly tapping her cheek in a thinking manner. “People around here love the Cinnamon Roll Frappe and Vanilla Cappuccino, or a plain black coffee goes well with our chocolate croissant. We also have a variety of donuts. I’ll bring a box for you to try, on the house.” She explains.

Almost in an instant, Foggy’s face was overtaken by pure happiness by free donuts. Anything that was free and delicious is definitely welcomed in his life. 

“You are the best, [Name]! Amazing coffee and free desserts will definitely get you a discounted price at our law firm if you ever need our services!” Foggy rejoiced causing Karen and Matt to laugh. 

“Thank you for the donuts, I’ll definitely repay you somehow,” Karen kindly spoke and gave her a smile, “I’ll take the Cinnamon Roll Frappe.” She said. 

Foggy let out an enthusiastic sigh, “I’ll try your Vanilla Cappuccino, dear friend!” 

Matt laughs at Foggy’s antics and turned to [Name]. “Seems like I’ll do your plain black coffee with the chocolate croissant, please. ” Matt added. 

[Name] took note and walked towards the counter, preparing their drinks in an orderly manner. She’s heard about the trio before from Marci. However Foggy was mentioned more often than not in her conversations with her friend. 

“Hey, guys. I don’t mean to invade [Name]’s privacy, but I’ve noticed bruises on her arm.” Karen muttered quietly to the group, Foggy didn’t miss it either. 

“Looks like hell. Could be from her soulmate or God forbid, it’s something else you know,” Foggy responds and glances at the barista making their drinks. 

“I should ask her when we leave, woman to woman. So she’s comfortable instead of us asking her in front of everyone.” Karen suggests causing Foggy to agree. 

“Great idea, let her know we’re very good lawyers, Karen.” Foggy adds. Meanwhile Matt sat there, listening attentively. His senses were already attuned with the bruises on [Name]’s skin. With each passing moment, Matt’s heightened awareness became more apparent as he began to sense the blood pooling under her delicate skin. He knew she didn’t feel the pain, nonetheless he felt guilty she had tons littered around her skin just like him.

Within 10 minutes, she’s has all three drinks on top of a tray and a chocolate croissant on one hand and the other was the free box of donuts. She walks towards the group with a smile, already grown accustomed to having both hands full and navigating through crowds with ease. Especially after many years as a server when she was a teenager and now a barista with her own growing business. 

“Alright, lawyers. Here’s your order, I hope you all enjoy.” [Name] said and set the items on the table. “Let me know how it taste. Don’t burn your tongue.” She requested.

She held the tray to her side and waited patiently as they all brought their lips to their drink. [Name] nervously smiles and glances at each one of them. Foggy was the first one to talk.  

“[Name], I may have burnt my tongue but this is incredible! I won’t sue you for my injury.” Foggy saids and simply fell in love with the flavor. [Name] laughs nervously, not knowing if he’s joking or not. 

Matt must’ve caught on by her nervous laughter, “He was joking by the way. Although I do agree that this is very good coffee. Even if it’s plain black.” Matt complimented with honesty. These were organic coffee beans with no chemicals added so it didn’t taste nasty. Food wise, he kept everything organic so it wasn’t harsh on his senses. 

“I also agree, this is very good.” Karen said and drank her frappe. [Name] exhales and smiles. “I really do appreciate it. It’s always nice to hear feedback from customers.” [Name] responds.

”I have to get back to work if you don’t mind, enjoy the rest of your day and congratulations on your win.” [Name] turned around to walk away before she was stopped by Matt’s voice. 

“Wait- uh,” Matt hesitates before letting out a small sigh escape his mouth, “Sorry. I didn’t realize my chocolate croissant was here. A blind guy’s mistake.” He lied. He knew exactly where it was placed. Matt went back and forth with his thoughts, whether it was a good idea for [Name] to know that Matt was her soulmate. He didn’t deserve to have a soulmate, let alone friends who he constantly puts in danger. [Name] hums and walks away from Matt. 

[anon-sect]

I see that you are really powerfull. Nothing is impossible for you, right? Great. The other day I was walking in the street when I saw one of the hottest men i know walking around: Josh Hutcherson. But as I was very polite and nice, he treated me like a dick. Here is where you come. He acts like a dick? Lets do that then. Can you put me in controll of his body and swap his mind inside his own dick? I want to controll him, to feel him powerless as I play with his new self. Can you do that? your price will be mine.

Picture source: internet.

Zack was walking down the street when he happened to see someone familiar walking his direction. He couldn't believe it. It was Josh Hutcherson. He recognized the famous actor from the many movies he stared in. As he approached, he just wanted one quick picture with him since he was a big fan of the actor.

"HI, Mr. Hutcherson, could I get a quick picture with you? You are one of my favorite actors." Zack asked politely, hoping he would say yes.

Josh rolled his eyes at the simple request from a fan. "Go online to one of my websites. I should have an autographed picture you could buy. Until then, I don't do pictures with fans for free." He spoke to the guy without even asking for his name and walked off.

Zack was so disappointed. He actually looked up to the actor, but to be treated with such disrespect even when he was being polite just wasn't right. He watched as the actor walked off after being such a dick to him.

As Zack continued walking, he was taped on the shoulder by a stranger. "Was that Josh Hutcherson?" The stranger asked him. "Yeah, but he is not as I imagine. He was such a dick to me. I only asked to take a picture with him since I am a big fan. And he just brushed me off and kept walking. I'm so disappointed." He told the stranger. The stranger just smiled. "Don't worry, karma happens to come back on those who do us wrong when I am around. I hope you will enjoy your new life." The stranger spoke and walked off without even giving his name. Zack thought that was a little strange, yet his last words had him pondering. He wondered what he meant by that.

When Zack got home, he went to use the bathroom. He stood in front of the mirror and suddenly got dizzy. He didn't know what was going on but lost consciousness a few seconds later. He woke up to unfamiliar surroundings. It was in a fancy hotel room. He was on a nice couch. He was also wearing different clothes than before. He recognized the attire as to what Josh was wearing. He quickly went to a mirror. He was shocked at the reflection back. The face he saw was Josh Hutcherson's. He was now the famous actor or more in control of his body now. He then wondered where the real Josh Hutcherson was.

Zack/new Josh then felt his dick twitching like crazy.

Josh couldn't explain what happened, but he felt he was a member of his body instead of control of his body. The more he tried to move, the more he realized what became of him. He was a literal cock on his body now. He couldn't speak but only make slight movements. This was a nightmare. If he was a cock on his body, than who was in his body controlling it.

Zack/new Josh saw he sounds just like the actor. He then realized what the stranger met by his last words. This was his new life. He felt a phone buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it and found he knew the password. He opened to see a text from a strange number. "Josh is your dick now, and you are him. It's temporary but you can make it permanent. All you need to do is jack off. Once done, you will be the new Josh, and he will just be your dick." Zack couldn't believe his luck.

Zack unzipped his pants in the bathroom to look at his dick. "So all I need to do is jack off, and we are stuck this way forever. That sounds like a plan to me. You should have been nicer to me, now I control your fate." He spoke as he took his new dick in hand and began to jack off.

Josh was mentally screaming. He didn't want to be stuck this way forever. Yet to hear a fan in control of his body and about to make their condition permanent was horrifying. He felt his own hand grab him and jerk off. He tried not to get hard, but he couldn't help it. He was a dick now. Moments later hot cum spewed out of his mouth. He suddenly felt he was just a dick. His humanity was striped of him.

Zack/ New Josh smiled as he was now Josh Hutcherson for the rest of his life. He wished he could thank the stranger in person. He definitely was going to enjoy his new life. As for old Josh, he was sure he could find someone to suck him off or go in someone's ass. It was time he learned what being a dick felt like.

Just finished FFVII Remake. It's a fun game with some great scenes. I had a great time with it.

Yet, I have to say the bloat and new fate storyline I definitely don't like. I absolutely love the original game and I really enjoy the pacing and set pieces of the original.

Making the first 5 or so hours of the original game into a 30 hour game is going to be stretched out and there has to be bloated scenes. I can do with adding scenes and giving more to characters like Tifa and Aerith. They definitely benefited a lot from this. (Barret too but to a lesser extent.) The writers went in on the women and I liked that a lot. Tifa has a lot more going on than in the original but I do feel they left out a bit of her worry and concern for Cloud and his weird memories. I'm glad she has more personality in the remake though.

I know it's a new game and they probably want to grab people to the series but I really don't like how they dealt with Sephiroth. As much as I liked the scenes with him, especially in the opening after the Reactor mission, I find the tension and slow unravelling storytelling is completely lost.

The first 5 hours of the original are there to grab you but slowly tell you about the world. It holds off and fills you with false information. It's really good. You also don't see Sephiroth at all in the Midgar section of the game. You hear about him and the mention of his name is enough to freak Cloud out. The scene where the group is in prison and you follow the trail of blood out to find President Shinra dead is absolutely amazing. That scene is one of my favourites. You think President Shinra will be the big bad and the rug is completely pulled out from beneath you when you see Sephiroth's has killed him.

I understand it's a different thing in Remake but the tension is completely gone.

I also hated most of the ending. That boss at the end, the giant monster you have to fight before Sephiroth at the end. That was awful. Also why show Zack? Seems like they just showed everything while the original plays it's cards very close to its chest the remake is just giving everything up.

I think I can live with the additions but the bloated sections like the Train Graveyard, The Drum and edit down everything after the fight with Rufus. (Who didn't get to do his speech!)

All together it was okay. I'd probably replay it for the fun scenes with Tifa, Aeris and Wall Market but honestly I'm not really fussed. I think I'd just replay the original if given the choice.

Mostly a good experience and I'm glad I played it. It added some lovely moments. Downloading Rebirth now, so I'll see how that goes. 😅

Oh yeah, I got my FGO account back!

Not sure if I ever will fully get back into it, but I'm just glad I didn't lose everything.

Some of the stuff I've heard about the newer chapters of FGO has got me a little interested, so maybe I will get back into it at some point, only time will tell.

[h-worksrambles]

Playing Final Fantasy VII Remake again, and it’s so blatantly obvious how hard they were leaning into the idea that Aerith (and Sephiroth by extension) know what the future of the story is going to be. In other words, that she knows she’s going to die.

…Which makes me feel frustrated looking back at Rebirth and how quick it was to run away from all this intrigue, and immediately contrive a means to strip Aerith of that knowledge.

On the one hand, I can see why they did this. There is a plot reason provided (changing fate means Aerith loses that certain precognition) and it means we get to spend more time with Aerith as a person rather than an all-knowing god. And yeah, given how Rebirth ends, it’s very important that we’re as attached to her as possible.

But at the same time, it feels…cowardly? Like so many new threads from Remake feel like they either don’t go anywhere in Rebirth or like they’re actively swept under the rug. The result is that (up until the ending) Rebirth is a much more conventional Final Fantasy VII retelling (albeit much longer and more maximalist, for better or worse). But it feels like a disappointing follow up to the huge swing that Remake took.

Like, I feel like Aerith losing her precognition would be fine in a vacuum, but between how many new threads, from Zack, to the other Biggs, to the Whispers, to the new Wutai details, just fizzle out in Rebirth it leaves me genuinely wondering if they either don’t have a plan or this trilogy, or if they did, but got cold feet at Remake’s polarising reception and back-walked.

I dunno, prior to Rebirth’s release, I made a post about my fears that, while I was intrigued by the new story, I was worried it was going to completely jump the shark into bad fanfiction territory, go into something completely schlocky and excessive. And to its credit, it didn’t. It played things much safer than I expected…and in some ways that’s more disappointing?

It’s not really shaping up to be much of an ‘unknown journey’. They’ve not really left many new threads going into Part 3. If we just get a bigger, more bloated version of the original VII’s finale, but maybe Zack’s here this time I guess, then that’ll be pretty underwhelming. Like, I really think that they might end with fighting Sepiroth AGAIN, with One Winged Angel playing AGAIN, for the third game in a row. And that would be so unbelievably limp.

I hope I’m proven wrong. I hope that this trilogy does actually have something of its own to say, preferably something that isn’t stupid. And we really will have a trio of games that stands alongside the original. One that can walk the line of not feeling like a bloated yet pale imitation, and manages to do something bold without being schlocky.

Basically, Part 3 please don’t suck.

Psycho Analysis: Zack Snyder's Lex Luthor

(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)

I think it’s no exaggeration to call Lex Luthor one of the greatest villains of all time. He’s the most iconic foe of the world’s greatest superhero, and is a poster child for the “Bald of Evil” trope. He’s cold, he’s cunning, he’s calculating, and most important he is a certified hater. He reviles Superman with every fiber of his being, loathes him to the nth degree; if there was a Mt. Rushmore for comic book villains who are haters, he’s up there with Doom, Reverse-Flash, and Sabretooth. Because of all this and more, he is widely loved and incredibly influential in the realm of superhero stories.

And that really makes the fact that he’s never gotten a good cinematic adaptation all the more bizarre. Now, don’t get me wrong: Gene Hackman and (unfortunately) Kevin Spacey did good in their respective turns as villains, but they aren’t exactly good Luthors as both are just far too hammy for their own good. The best Lex we’ve ever seen is probably the one from the DCAU, voiced by Clancy Brown; how he’s not spoken of in the same breath as Hamill’s Joker is beyond me. But we’re not here to talk about the best, or even the decent. We are here to discuss what is widely accepted to be the absolute worst take on Lex imaginable.

I’ve made it no secret in the past that I resent Batman v Superman for squandering one of the coolest premises you could give a movie by stuffing it full of unnecessary bullshit and sloppy characterization, but despite all that I’ve never really talked at length about the worst aspect of that: Lex Luthor as played by Jesse Eisenberg.

Motivation/Goals: Lex hates Superman because when he was being abused by his father no god came to protect him; now that there’s a god among us, he’s out to pay back this injustice tenfold on Superman. It’s a bit edgy but hey, as long as he hates Superman and also fully believes he’s doing humanity a favor by “exposing” Clark as a danger!

His elaborate scheme to pit Batman and Superman against each other in a battle to the death also feels like something he’d do. Sure, the way he goes about it here only works because the universe he’s in is edgy and stupid but it feels in character at least. So with his motivations and goals being pure Lex filtered through a Snyder lens, how is it that he’s such a reviled take on the character?

Performance: This is unfortunately where Lex falls apart. Now, I don’t really put the blame on Jesse Eisenberg completely; he’s a really good actor, and he pulled off playing a cold, conniving, evil tech bro extremely well in The Social Network. But for some incomprehensible fucking reason he portrays Lex as if he was asked to audition for Riddler or Joker instead. He’s weird, he’s quirky, he’s incredibly campy, and he is genuinely nothing like Lex Luthor beyond the most superficial traits.

It really is the campiness that does him in, because it’s just so excessive and jarring within the context of Snyder’s gritty realism. Hackman and Spacey were hammy and only superficially Lex, but they’re at least still enjoyable because they knew when to dial back and weren’t constantly, jarringly at odds with the tone. Eisenberg is just always on, always being a weird little freak, and it just isn’t engendering at all.

Final Fate: At the end of BVS he is sent to Arkham for his many, many, many crimes such as kidnapping, attempted murder, creating a giant freakish murder beast that rampaged through the city, and assholery. Unfortunately, this is Arkham we’re talking about; they pretty much give every inmate the keys to the door so it should be ho surprise that by the time of Justice League’s stinger he’s pulled a switcheroo with some random bald guy so he can go and conspire with everyone’s favorite pedophile, Slade Wilson.

And… that’s it. He never showed up again in the little time the DCEU had left. My guess is they set sail for an island vacation, and knowing Deathstroke I have a pretty good idea of which island they went to.

Evilness: I mean, this is Lex we’re talking about here. At his best the guy is only ever a well-intentioned extremist and isn’t getting less than a 3, but here? I’d say he’s at least a 4/5, maybe even a 4.5/5. He’s not quite into being a complete monster, because his motives are understandable to a degree… but holy shit are the lengths he’s going to insane. It’s also really hard justifying blowing up a courtroom with a man in a wheelchair and a jar of pee.

Best Scene: In an ironic sense, it’s definitely the piss jar courtroom bombing scene. I think it really sums up everything wrong with this take on Lex by being a hilariously childish prank to play on Elasti-Girl right before vaporizing an entire courtroom. Gotta give a little respect, though; as a former Sniper main it’s nice seeing a villain apply Jarate to score a massive critical hit.

On the unironic side, I genuinely like his brief appearance talking with Deathstroke in both versions of Justice League. Maybe it’s just because he’s not onscreen for a great length of time, but his performance feels a lot closer to what Lex SHOULD be. It feels like if he actually got a major appearance again he might’ve knocked it out of the park, but alas…

Best Quote: The one thing I can give this Luthor? He’s full of great quotes. Some of them are even genuinely funny! My personal favorite comes from right before he unleashes his secret weapon on Superman:

“I cannot let you win. I gave the Bat a fighting chance to do it, but he's not strong enough. So, if man won't kill God ... the Devil will do it! ... Ancient Kryptonian Deformity... The blood of my blood... Born to destroy you! Your Doomsday.”

It’s such a raw fucking quote, and it’s all the more impressive because it actually manages to get me excited to see the adaptation of one of the most boring comic book villains ever. If this quote was from anyone else it might get more respect.

Final Thoughts & Score: Like far too much of the Snyderverse, this Lex is a mountain of wasted potential.

Like the idea of a psychopathic manchild tech bro is not without merit, and is certainly the sort of villain that ages gracefully in a time when Elon Musk is alive—The MCU’s Justin Hammer has aged like a fine wine because of this. But Eisenberg’s Lex fails for the same reason Musk does: His quirks are just not endearing at all, and are in fact supremely annoying and unpleasant. And this could maybe work if it was a less mainstream villain like Hammer or a more famously smug and insufferable one like Riddler, but this is LEX FUCKING LUTHOR. You can’t just get experimental with the most iconic archenemy of a hero like this! You have to understand, with these big villains the average person might recognize you play a dangerous game altering them to a drastic degree. People had a hard enough time getting over the goofy goblin suit Willem Dafoe was in for Spider-Man, do you think they’ll forgive making Lex a skinny manchild with a full head of hair who acts all twitchy and emotional?

I think the most frustrating thing isn’t even how bad and unfitting the performance is for Lex, it’s how it never got a chance to improve—much like the rest of the Snyderverse. So much of it was built on a foundation of rotten wood held together with chewed gum, but the Snyder Cut showed that Snyder’s vision wasn’t unsalvageable. As I’ve seen it put before, it was the very best version you could get from a bad take on the characters. And if Lex had a chance to pop up again I have no doubt that he’d have won me over. Again, Eisenberg is a really good actor, I just think he was saddled with awful writing which can easily be rectified with more appearances… that he never got. We are eternally stuck with a small appearance in a stinger that promises better and more exciting things that will never come, which leaves us with a performance that is 98% dogshit.

Still, I wouldn’t say he’s the absolute worst comic book movie villain ever. One of them, sure, but not THE worst. Unlike someone like Galactus, Doom, or Weapon XIII I do understand why someone would want to try a different approach considering Luthor has been adapted to death. Sure, it’s a horrible idea to try and do it and the result sucked but I at least UNDERSTAND why it was done. I think he’s most similar to Zilla in that he works better divorced from who the film says he is, because he’s actually pretty funny and all that… but the fact he’s never going to get a shot at redemption with a better script holds him down.

As an adaptation of Lex I think he’s a 1.5/10, but I do think he’s an interesting and at times enjoyable 1.5. Much like the movie he’s in, as much as I hate it I can’t deny there’s some good bits in there… it just sucks having to slog through the garbage to see it. If nothing else, at least this is a bar so low there’s no way Nicolas Hoult won’t be able to vault over it… right?

Spoilers for ffvii rebirth

I was getting close to the end so I bribed my sister to let me continue the game despite the fact that usually on Saturdays usually neither of us play anything. And I was able to finish!

I successfully avoided spoiling the rebirth ending!

The final fight took me quite a long time because I ate lunch in between, took breaks, and accidentally pressed the wrong button and had to restart the entire thing when I was restarting the final Sephiroth fight. That probably ended up helping me as I didn't really pay attention to what I was equipping aerith with since I assumed she was going to die and at one point I was like fuck i shouldn't have equipped her with anything in case she dies and I can't take her shit when she's dead or something.

That fight was still easier than Rufus...

But I am confusion

The whole thing was confusing AF but

The whole time I was wondering is aerith alive dead, nearly almost dead but not quite?

And Leaf said aerith is alive at the end

But I don't believe that because everyone besides cloud seems to act like they are in mourning

And cloud given his track record is not the most reliable pov here so I think she's dead

But that leads to more questions is Aerith a spirit or is she a hallucination for cloud? Caused by his fractured mind? by Sephiroth? jenova? all of the above?

Okay apparently red senses her spirit so maybe she actually is a spirit? I missed that

Zack I'm pretty sure is dead and despite me wanting Zack alive, I understand that if I was fate I would find it really funny to have the one constant in every universe to be that Zack is doomed to die in similar ways

Once I finished the fight my sisters came home and decided to bother me throughout the entire ending scene so that might be apart of my confusion

Everything seems to be going in multiverse territory but with ffvii I don't really mind *I say while having flashbacks to supernatural*

[instantpansies]

Haiii againn :3

Uhmmmm

I was wondering what your general mml hcs are :p

okay i think i'm finally prepared to answer this question!!! i'll preface this by saying i'm much more obsessed w phineas and ferb than milo murphy's law. i love mml very much but i don't have nearly as many Thoughts(tm) about it as i do pnf... even so here's what i've got

i'm not just saying this bc he's the voice actor, i think milo would listen to weird al. that and like '90s-'00s pop hits (basically canon anyway)

melissa has adhd and can't function without variety. she's always multitasking, fiddling, taking hard classes to keep herself occupied

definitely she's the type to really want one of those treadmill desks

that's part of why she gets along so well with milo, it's never the same with him. he's exciting

melissa is the most online of the main kids i think. she probably plays fps games and argues with people who disagree with her on twitter

i think melissa would be a vocaloid fan, lydia got her into it and she passed it on to amanda

btw lydia has been a miku stan since third grade

also melissa likes metal. i have no proof of this but i think she'd like it. good for studying

zack cannot stand metal though, it's grating and he can't hear the lyrics

on the topic of the main kids, i'm not super into shipping or anything but my philosophy is, they all have two hands. so casually speaking i really like the dynamic of simultaneous milo/amanda, amanda/melissa, melissa/zack (i'm not wild about them but if we don't go overboard zalissa is fine), zack/bradley, bradley/milo. they are in a circle holding hands and i like them a lot :3

however like i said that's just for funsies and i dont really really ship anyone there. i do like the dynamics of that particular arrangement though lol!

sara was a tumblr user during the equivalent of superwholock, now that that's not really a thing anymore she's gotten more into analysis and the more geeky side of dr zone fandom. she still watches the old edits though

okayyy i'm kind of obsessed w cavendish and dakota so they r always spinning around in my brain

i think brick and savannah are newer agents than dakavendish, which is why cav is kinda bitter. despite working for the agency for longer, he got stuck with the worst equipment and the most unfulfilling job possible

cav is probably a little frustrated at dakota because of this, but i'd think after so long working w him he's realized that it's not dakota's fault they can't seem to climb the ladder. they're just like that. but obviously he hasn't accepted his fate as we see in the show

dakavendish have been in the same semi-romantic semi-platonic situationship forever. neither of them has said a word. if they knew what a qpr was they'd really like that but they've never heard of it so instead they're just stuck Like That. hopeless idiots my beloved

cavendish watches ancient aliens and all those other sorts of shows about supernatural conspiracies. he half believes them. dakota watches them with him, ironically.

anyways back to the kids. lydia and buford met once at a concert for some famous orchestra, they don't really hang out but they email back and forth sometimes and exchange recipes.

lydia and amanda have been best friends for as long as anyone can remember. it sometimes seems like lydia is just amanda's sidekick, but she just prefers to step out of the way and do her part from behind the scenes. it's less stressful for both of them.

amanda hates candles. just can't stand them. they smell too strong, or never smell right, or they pose a fire hazard, or the shape doesn't fit the vibe she's going for.

related to that i think amanda has some pretty strong sensory aversions, especially to smells and certain textures

milo's backpack is essentially a pocket dimension. it's his hammerspace, so he doesn't need to think too much about what fits or not. he packs it every morning, but the stuff basically comes from already in that hammerspace. there are times when he packs the wrong things (which we see in one episode), but that's because they aren't stored in the backpack and are instead inaccessible to him

basically im saying milo is mary poppins and he can hypothetically access anything he needs at any time. issues only arise when he is caught unaware and unprepared, and that is very rare

milo and sara really like going to creeks. especially when they were little they would go to the nearest creek or pond and wade and look for creatures in the water

baljeet ran a boy bands fan blog back when the lumberzacks were active. he was shouted out once on their old social media and it's still one of his proudest accomplishments.

this isn't really an mml hc but baljeet kind of reminds me of a friend who runs a blog and a youtube channel about some really niche tech and programming stuff, and is also just a normal guy on the internet, so i think baljeet probably does smth similar

amanda and melissa have been academic rivals for a long time, but they have a mutual understanding and it's never gotten nasty. bradley thinks he's melissa's academic rival but honestly she doesn't see him as competition at all

bradley has a pretty big sweet tooth. i'm basing this off the whole carla thing if it wasn't obvious, but he definitely stops by coffee shops after school and gets the sweetest drink he can. ice cream fan as well

tbh i unfortunately do not think much about mort or chad. i dont have any hcs about them

same with the murphy parents :( i like them a lot but i dont have any thoughts abt them rn

elliot is bradley's older cousin who never really got along with him but their parents made them hang out when they were little. i'm going off vibes only here

okay so yeah that's all i can think of for now!!! i'm sure i will think of more later lmao but anyways. mml is such a good show
