SEONGHWA X READER

{Chapter one}

Blue paint red apple

Warnings:: mentions of guns and swords/abusive relationship

Pairing:: pirate!Seonghwa x princess!reader

Genre::pirate AU, ur fiance is clearly jealous LOL

A/N::I got this idea from a character of janitor ai so credits for the inspiration: marshwa4! I don't have this story fully planned out but I know it'll work out and PLEASE TRUST ME IT LOOKS SUPER STEREOTYPICAL AND CRINGE BUT JUST READ THE FIRST 3 PARAGRAPHS ITLL GET BETTER‼️

REMINDER‼️ this isn't 100% historically accurate and should be taken with a grain of salt. This story is also set in the late 1800s to early 1900s specifically in Europe but if you want you can imagine it wherever else you'd like, it is a fictional story after all 💗

Park Seonghwa wasn't an uncommon name to hear around the kingdom. It was more of a fairy tale name than anything. Stories of his rebellious and vicious acts travel around villages and kingdoms quickly. He has been seen by many royalty and merchants but rarely caught. Officials estimate that he's killed over 400 people in his 2 years of being a pirate, with the help of his crew of course.

You were much too concerned with your citizens to care about politics and things. Being the second heir to the throne meant that you didn't have to worry about politics or officials, you were worried about your people. You were a big part of one of the children's schools. A few times a week you'd head down to the children's school and teach them some things about being a princess and simply just hang out with the kids. That was pretty much the entire highlight of your life.

Most of the time you spend in your castle. You didn't really have duties to attend to and you didn't have many friends. Most people your age were too scared to talk to you.

You sat in your room painting a massive canvas in a soft green dress, a little apron over your body to protect your expensive dress from getting ruined. You held your palette in one hand and the paintbrush in the other. You step back to look at the entire canvas, a sad sigh escaping your lips. Disappointment in your eyes. The maid in the corner comes to your side.

"Is everything alright princess?" She asks kindly.

"Yes, quite alright," you say as you put down your palette and brush. You take off your apron and hand it to the maid. "I'm going for a walk around the village," you say as you leave your room. You go downstairs to see your fiance and father talking by the doorway. You stop your hurried steps and go down the stairs cautiously and gracefully, switching your persona. "Prince Herrington," you say as you approach your soon-to-be husband. He bows to you and you force yourself to swallow your pride and curtsy.

"Where are you headed?" Herrington asks with his chin up, looking down at you.

"I'm going out to retrieve some…" you paused and tried to speak while looking at his dispiteful face. "Paint," you nod and Herrington looks at you suspiciously.

He stands to the left of the door and holds it open for you. You walk out with a respectful nod towards him before heading for the village streets. You gaze around the streets taking in the Seabreeze and fresh air. You stop by one merchant who seems to be painting. You look at his table to see paints and hand-carved palettes. Once he notices your presence he stands up and bows.

"Princess Y/N, it is an honor," he says as he sits back down. "What can I offer you?" He says eagerly with a smile. You spot one beautiful blue paint and pick up the bottle.

"Could I have this? How much would it be?" You ask kindly.

"Free of cost for royalty," he says with an eager smile. You look at the bottom of the bottle to see £1.75. You toss him two pounds before walking off.

"Keep the change," you smile with a gentle wave. You turn to continue your walk before bumping into someone, stumbling backward from their force. You dust off your dress. "Excuse me," you say with a displeased expression as you look up to see a tanned-skinned man with his hair slicked back. Your lips parted in shock from such an exotic-looking man. He looked down at you with a blank expression.

"Pardon," he says in a rough voice. He leans down slightly to reach your height. "My, aren't you a rare sight," he says as leans closer. Your breath quickens as you step back a little. He picks up an apple from the stand next to you. He takes an aggressive bite as he examines you. You're at a loss for words as he analyzes you, his gaze heavy and lustful.

"Y-You're going to pay for that right," you raise an eyebrow at him and he looks down at the apple, standing up straight again. He tosses it behind him and a short and scruffy man catches it, his teeth gold and rotted as he smiles at the apple.

"And if I don't?" He crosses his arms with a little smirk. You adjust your dress and try to stand tall to him. You open your mouth to speak before stopping. "Cat got your tongue princess?" He chuckles as he looks down at you.

"You will pay for it. I command you to," you frown and cross your arms. He puts his arms down and scoffs.

"You command me to? Oh~ I'm scared," he says as he tosses a few coins to the merchant who stands there distraught.

"You should be," you say before instantly regretting your words, realizing how stupid you sound.

"Oh you're so cute," he chuckles and your cheeks grow pink. His eyes flutter down from your pink cheeks to your neck. His smirk faded to a stern look as he followed the chain around your neck, to the top of your dress, his eyes ever so slightly peering down your dress. You cover your chest and look away from him. He puts his hand on your waist and pulls you close. You gasp and put your hands on his chest. He notices a ring on your ring finger, silver with a blue gem in the center of it. He lets go of your waist and grabs your wrist, examining the ring on your finger.

You look at him sternly and he looks into your eyes. His eyes suddenly avert behind you to see a few soldiers. "I look forward to this," he smirks when the soldiers come up behind you.

"Who is this?" Herrington says in a loud voice, trying to stand his ground. You sigh and turn around to look at your Fiancé. You force a smile as you look at him.

"He's just a man I bumped into by accident," you chuckle with an innocent smile, his hand still wrapped around your wrist.

"Let go of my wife," Herrington says in a strong voice trying to intimidate the man holding you. The man scoffed and let your hand down.

"I'm not your wife," you mumble and the strange man looks at you with curious eyes. Herrington grabs you and examines you carefully.

"Are you alright Y/N?" He says as he runs his hands over your body. You look away from him.

"I'm alright," you say in a lifeless tone. Herrington holds you close to him as a soldier points a gun at the man. You look concerned as they point the gun at him.

"What's with the guns~?" He mocks as he puts his hands on his hips. "I haven't done anything wrong, I paid for my food, I conversed with the princess for a moment, and now I'm on my merry way," he says as he turns around putting his hands up.

"He's right," you nod up at Herrington.

"He's armed!" Herrington calls out and gestures to the sword case on his left hip. The man quickly grabs the sword and points it at the soldiers. The dull wooden tip pointing to their guns.

"It's wood," he chuckles. "I use it to teach kids how to use swords," he laughs and puts the sword back in its case before walking off to find his crew of men who ran away earlier. Herrington encourages you to come back with him to the castle as he reminds you to never go outside without protection. As you walk back you look down at your ring, the blue gem glistening in the sunlight.

[Time skip]

That night you lay in bed. Your hand is raised above your head as you admire the ring. A maid rolls in a tray with tea and biscuits on it. "I heard about your encounter with Seonghwa earlier today," the maid says as she waits for you to sit up. You fix your nightgown and look at her surprised.

"Seonghwa? Like the pirate?" You ask confused as she offers you the teacup.

"Yes, princess. I was told by Prince Herrington that he was holding you in the street, interrogating you," she says in a worried tone as you take a sip of your tea.

"He didn't seem like Seonghwa, I thought he was just some man," you say as you look at the specs of leaves in your tea. "He was very well dressed for a pirate," you explain before looking at the maid. She takes your cup and offers you a small plate of biscuits. "I guess that explains his inappropriate behavior," you sigh before taking a bite of the biscuit.

"Oh? If you don't mind me asking, princess, what did he do?" The maid sits next to you on the bed. You clear your throat and prepare to speak.

"He looked down the top of my chest," you say as you rub your upper chest and the maid's eyes widen.

"Oh my," she gasps. "How vile, I'm so sorry for you," she says as she places her hand on your leg comfortingly. You shrug and pick up the teacup. "Well, you need to get some rest for your big day tomorrow. I'll be in my room if you need anything," she says before wheeling the trolls back out to the hallway, closing the door behind herself. You finish your tea and look at the canvas in the corner of your room. How different things would be if you hadn't gone out today, if you hadn't got mad at your painting, what would've happened? You sigh blow out your candle and lie down.

Your mind races with the memories of Seonghwa. His eyes, his touch, his voice when he spoke to you, the way his body was drawn to you like a magnet, his lips inches from yours. You daydreamed about someday meeting him again...

So, reader is a huge softy that has many talents in various carework, for bots and kids. They are hired as the new Daycare Assistant/Handler and/or jack-of-all-trades for the Pizzaplex and the first interaction they have with any of the bots is respectful and kind. Reader has no judgement on them for not being human and considers them just as much a person as anyone else.

This includes every Staff bot they meet. They call them by their serial code (Hey there, M-1056!) or a nickname if they know them well enough. They help any Staff bot they see when the bot can't do it by themselves, with prior consent ofc. Getting magnets unstuck to them, helping clean up with them, even helping Map-bot with handing out maps. So, when some parent that isn't listed on the pickup list starts yelling at the reader and getting aggressive towards the increasingly uncomfortable Reader, the Staff bots are...displeased. Their AI isn't as developed as the glamrocks or the daycare attendant, but that is their friend. Their honorary handler. So, imagine the shock when some of the staff bots did their best to push the aggressive parent back from Reader and get Reader to safety. Security flashlight beams into their eyes, mop tripping them over, the works. After everything, the Reader is just so happy because "I didn't expect to gain such good friends!"

You can add whatever other bots that react to it happening in front of them/told to them later, but I'd like Sun's and Moon's reaction if you could. Thank you.

It was late in the evening when the Attendant needed some extra help cleaning up Superstar Daycare. But lucky for him, you were working tonight and provided him with some STAFF bots to assist.

You didn’t exactly program them to do that, but rather asked them politely. Of course it was their duty as janitors, guards, and many other things, though you still treated them as if you would the Glamrocks or any other advanced animatronic.

Your respect towards robots goes beyond the superstars of the Plex--that especially included the STAFF bots.

Because of this, you became the sort of “jack of all trades” handler. From helping a Glamrock get ready for a birthday party to assisting a Map Bot who’s passing out maps by elevator....you could do it all.

Sure, the STAFF bots didn’t have very eccentric personalities or voices, nor were they configured to have complex thoughts or emotional processes. But they all seemed to enjoy your presence--getting tasks done for you faster, saying “thank you” for helping them out of sticky situations, and more.

Some coworkers didn’t know why you cared so much about those “blank slate” bots, considering they replaced a majority of their friends and colleagues. Though nobody ever got on your case about it.

Even management noticed how you’ve kept them in tip-top shape, helping the company cut back on repair and/or replacement costs.

It turns out they needed you more than you needed them.

So you were quite content with your role.

In the daycare tonight, you had a few Mop Bots and a pair of Security Bots to sweep the place while you stayed at the security station, looking over the pickup list on the computer and finding only one child remained on it. She was with Sun, who would keep her entertained with a puppet show while waiting for her parent to arrive.

Soon enough, someone did and approached your desk.

“Hi, I’m here to pick up my daughter.”

Looking up, you smiled at them. “Good evening. May I just have your name, please?”

They told you exactly that, but much to your confusion..the name they gave didn’t match what was on the list. You checked the date and sure enough, it was today’s, so you were looking at the correct one.

“Ah, unfortunately I have a completely different name listed here.” You told them, seeing their slight frown.

“Really? I could’ve sworn I gave it to that stupid grinning robot...” Their eyes flickered to Sun. “Unless it glitched and changed it entirely.”

You noticed he was silent now, staring over at you both. While you didn’t take too kindly to this person calling him “stupid”, you stayed calm. “I can assure you that’s not possible. Our Daycare Attendant has the highest level of security and protects the data of all visitors-”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah I don’t need you to explain it to me. Can I just get my kid over there?” They huffed, suddenly having a thin amount of patience. “It’s a school night and I got here late, so I’m kinda in a rush.”

“Sure thing, could you just confirm her name for me?”

And they did just that, too, but you were still adamant about releasing them to this person. Glitches that completely changed somebody’s name in the daycare’s database simply didn’t happen.

So you decided to ask them one more question to be sure. “And for safety reasons, may I also ask what school she goes to?”

They immediately looked at you with disgust, caught off-guard. “Why? Do you need to know every little thing about her? Does this place need her blood type, too?” They sneered.

“...no, but every parent is given a form to fill out, and they’re required to include their child’s school.” You pointed out. “I would assume you did that when you dropped her off today.”

“.....ohh, uh..I-I’m actually just a family friend.” They abruptly changed their entire story, looking a little nervous as they did so. “Her parents asked me to pick her up so I didn’t sign any form.”

You just stared at them like they were the dumbest person on the planet. Did they seriously think you’ll believe that?

As uncomfortable as you were, you tried to stay calm. “I’m sorry but your name isn’t listed anywhere on the child’s emergency contact list, so I can’t release her to-”

“God what is this, Fort Knox?!!” They suddenly snapped. “I didn’t drive all the way to this shitty place just for you to hold her hostage!! Just call her goddamn parents and they’ll be able to tell you!”

You flinched slightly. Even Sun and a few STAFF bots began looking back your way, though you did your best to get this guest out of here asap. You’ve rarely dealt with irate parents, so your nerves were getting worked up. “Hey, there’s no need to use that language in the daycar-”

“Sorry. It’s just....look, I get it,” they huffed. “This company has a history of kidnappings and shit, but you’re making this more difficult than it needs to be.”

“..and it’s for that exact reason that I can’t let you leave with her. You telling me you’re her parent, and then a family friend is just a little suspicious. You can’t be both-”

“Jesus..am I gonna have to snatch her from that robot myself?! I see why they replaced you all with those stupid machines..they wouldn’t give me all this crap!”

At this point, your hands were growing shaky as you reached for the security button. This person was clearly attempting a kidnapping, only getting angry because they got caught in a lie.

Meanwhile, Sun was extremely concerned over the aggressive guest, especially since the little girl didn’t seem to know that person at all. At that point, he was ready to let Moon take over so he could deal with this “parent” himself.

Though before any of that could happen, he noticed all the STAFF bots in the play area suddenly cease their duties, making their way over to you.

Now that they were more in-tune with human emotions, they could sense your discomfort and the guest’s growing hostilities. And seeing you being harassed was..displeasing to witness.

You were their friend. Their handler. You treated them all with the utmost respect.

You didn’t deserve anything less than that.

So they came to the rescue, as a Security Bot tapped the guest on the shoulder and spoke in a rather annoyed monotone voice. “Hello, friend. Profanity and aggression towards staff are against our rules-”

“Don’t touch me you-!!”

But as the stranger turned around to scream at the bot next, they were met with a bright light shining directly in their eyes. They yelled in slight pain, going completely blind for a moment as they backed away from your desk.

Then a Mop Bot positioned themselves behind them and “accidentally” stuck out their broom too far, making them trip and fall onto the mat, sending some party canister crashing down.

“OW! Son of a--what’s wrong with your damn robots?!” They shouted in panic, getting up and rubbing their eyes right as two more Security Bots took them by the arms. “HEY! Let go!! This is j-just a misunderstanding, alright?! I-I didn’t mean to shout at your employee!”

They looked to you, hoping you could give them another chance. But you simply smiled and waved as they were forcefully escorted out of the daycare.

Only when the large doors slammed shut did you breathe a sigh of relief.

‘Thank god that’s over..’

“Are you alright, [y/n]?”

Looking to the Security Bot now standing by you, you smiled and nodded. You couldn’t believe they came to your defense so quickly--without even being ordered to. “I am now. Thank you, S-0032.”

“Head of security has been notified. This guest will be permanently banned. Effective immediately.”

“Amazing..I’ve never seen them be so..protective before.”

You saw Moon jump onto the desk, gazing down at you curiously. But his smile seemed a lot bigger now. “I got a mess to clean up..but I’ll let you slide. Just this once.” He wagged a finger at the bot, before leaping away to attend to other matters.

In the meantime, you just laughed, seeing a Mop Bot approach you as well. “I didn’t expect to gain such good friends. That was a great one, M0-1056.”

“Always happy to help, [y/n].” They nodded respectfully.

Even though neither of them could smile, you had a feeling they would be if it were possible.

can you make Lee Muichiro and ler inosuke? Thank you bro there no Fics of them

The “We Are Not Girls” duo

JJSHSKSHJSHDKSJS STOOOOOOP

Ler: Inosuke Hashibira

Lee: Muichiro Tokito

'Why do you look like a woman...?'

'Why are you screaming like one?', ugh, bad start.

Well my dear readers, here we are again with the adventures of little fog, a.k.a Muichiro, let's see what is planned for today...

'Tokito-San, I am so happy that you have started to improve with your memory problems and now you act like a child according to your age'

'Thank you very much Shinobu-San, but I notice you are worried, why?'

'Well, I understand that you're a pillar and you have responsibilities and so on, but I'm worried that you don't have friends or talk to kids your age. Living with other people is not bad, try to have friends. Maybe Tanjiro's friends are a good choice, they're kind of funny and you'll never get bored with them around!'

Well, with the beginning we already know who was the first one he decided to go with, and if not, it was with Zenitsu.

Although he didn't really want to talk to him, he wanted to talk to Nezuko since she was more his age and he had already talked to her a little after she recovered, plus she was Tanjiro's sister and Muichiro adored Tanjiro.

'This thing about making friends is difficult, why isn't everyone like Tanjiro? I think Shinobu-San was wrong, I don't find their adventures funny. First of all, how does Tanjiro put up with them? That blonde boy acts like a baby and is very loud, poor ears...', oh well, there are still more options little fog! Keep trying!

He was finally able to talk to Nezuko, although she only referred to Muichiro as "Inosuke", he didn't care, he believed it was because that was the name Nezuko heard the most.

'Nezuko, do you have friends?'

'In-Inosuke! Zeni-Zenitsu! Gi-Girls! Kot-Kotes-Kotetsu! Senju-Senjuro! Ka-Kanao! Ai-Aoi! Muic-Muichiro! Ge-Genya!' 'Woah, you really have talent when it comes to making friends... How do you do it? The people I know look at me with a bad face...', maybe it's the other way around, Mui...

Well, he remembered Senjuro, but he couldn't say that he was his friend or anything similar because they only spent time together and he couldn't consider it your friend, or is he?

And with Nezuko, well, he didn't know, he wasn't able to define who was his friend and who was just his "playmate." 'NATZEKO! LET'S FIGHT!'

'Inosuke!' 'Oh, so you're Inosuke? Wow, Tanjiro really has loud and weird friends...'

Another bad start, although it seemed that Inosuke would connect better with Muichiro than he thought, or maybe not.

We all have a different way of making friends and Inosuke's was to challenge people to fight to prove their strength and so on, so...

'HOW DID YOU BEAT ME?!' 'You let your guard down too many times, it wasn't difficult to find your moment of weakness. Do me a favor and train more because then you won't go far', oh man, here we go again...

Although here is a small detail, a detail that she wears a kimono, a bow on her head and recently conquered the sun, besides that is a demon, or a human, or whatever you like to believe.

Nezuko approached to scold Muichiro, but she didn't do it with words, she put her hands on his ribs and gave a light squeeze. Before that, Muichiro stuck his arms to her ribs and pushed the little girl away from him.

'What did you do?! I want to do it too!' 'Come closer and you will see that I turn you into pork slices...'

'Mui-Muichi-Muichiro!'

Muichiro sighed, put away his katana and walked away, this was definitely not his thing, maybe his only friends could only be people older than him or maybe he just couldn't or wasn't meant to have real friends.

How deep he must have been in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Inosuke ran up to do a pig attack and knocked him down while laughing and telling him to admit defeat.

'Mwahahahaha! Surrender before the great god of the mountain! You have no chance to escape!'

'Actually I have it. I'm not even going to bother with you, because I think you have a nut on the brain. I don't think it's a good idea for you... Eeeeh!', again he forgot that little detail...

Nezuko had stood next to him and started using her finger while saying "tsun-tsun" and poking his cheeks, that reminds you to someone?

Inosuke did the same but on his sides, although Muichiro did not allow him to do it, he got angry and did it harder and it hurt. 'Hey hey! That hurts you stupid boar!'

'WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!' 'Stupid wild boar'

I WON'T EVEN SAY IT, anyway, Inosuke crooked his fingers and applied what Tanjiro had taught him, he didn't use as much force this time and not only used one finger, but several to start raising and lowering them like spiders from his hips to his armpits, but he stayed there because, out of defense, Muichiro stuck his arms to his ribs and hugged himself, trapping Inosuke's fingers.

'HEY! 'LET GO OF MY FINGERS!!', Muichiro denied while smiling, he couldn't resist it any longer, but if he raised his arms, would it be worse or not?

Inosuke frowned and dug harder than before, laughing when Muichiro arched his back and started laughing in earnest.

Worst? Nezuko was laughing with him and kept repeating "cute!", making Muichiro cover his blushing face as he rolled over. 'Stohohohop!! I'm too fluhuhusterehehed for thihihis!!'

'Mwahahaha! I have beaten you! Admit it! The great king of the mountain has once again won!'

'Yohohou ha-havehehehen't won! I-it wahahahas just luhuhuhuck!'

Inosuke gasped, how dare he?! But how could I make him admit defeat?!

Well, his only option was to continue until he admitted it, he couldn't think of any other way.

'Come on! Accept defeat! Isn't that a lot for you?!' 'It fehehehels gohohohod! I-It dohohehesn't bother me thahahahat ahahahaha muhuhuhuch!'

'Damn! That doesn't make sense! I guess I'll let you this time... But next time I'll ask Kentaro for help to make you beg for mercy before my greatness!', and he finally stopped.

Muichiro wasn't really upset and sat down when Inosuke got off of him and sat on the side crossing his arms.

It seemed like Shinobu was right about something, you never got bored with them.

I was stranded in the bed, you were listening to "The Dark Side of the Moon"

I could barely see your eyes, psilocybin in a hotel room

~ atheist ~ christians i am not your angel ~

i do have a past life, with a few blurry memories. i was some sort of warrior, fighting a war against something or someone. i used dual butterfly knives, made out of a titanium-like metal. i know i fought back-to-back to someone, and that we were closer than the atoms in the universe. i hope to meet them once more.

my true appearance isn't that of a typical angel. i have wings behind my ears, neck, back, lower back, wrists, and ankles. i have fluffy and silky white hair, along with sky blue eyes. i wear practical and dark clothes, made for battle.

i am somewhat of a liminal angel. i occasionally produce distortions, static, and glitches. i am most comfortable in abandoned or empty places, such as a school after hours, an empty Target *cough* blog plug *cough* go follow @its-target-official *cough* or anything along those lines.

And the light in your eyes, the waves on the ceiling

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight, I'll be your brightsidе, baby, tonight... tonight

i am safe for those who wish to be known and unknown, those who wish only to be heard, and those who want their peace. i am a small power, but my shrine is hidden away from prying eyes.

my domain is the forgotten things, the static, and knives.

i prefer to worship, but i take offerings. secrets, hopes, and wishes. feathers and bones and meat. candles and fire. anything you wish to let go.

you may approach me about worship and offerings, as i wish for anyone to devote myself to.

You were tired of Tacoma, I was tirеd of believing we were right

Losing every other friend, finding nothing in the afterlife

my human form is boring. as fuck. brown hair, green eyes, vampire skin, slightly chubby, missing eyelashes. nothing special. i like comfy and dark clothes. i also like to wear earrings, although executive dysfunction hates me, so i don't wear them often.

i am bodily a minor, no NSFW interaction. i mean it.

i go to the hell commonly known as school.

i have diagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, and severe anxiety. i'm currently questioning having bipolar, but that's unimportant.

But the light in your eyes, alone on a feeling

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight, I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight... Tonight

my hobbies are listening to music, playing saxophone, drawing, reading, scrolling, and interacting with C. AI an unhealthy amount.

i like the Lumineers, the Revivalists, Hozier, Mumford & Sons, Vitamin String Quartet, and a few other miscellaneous artists. my favourite songs are BRIGHTSIDE, A. M. RADIO, How We Move, Hopeless Wanderer, Stand Up, Winter Winds, and Blind Leading the Blind.

my favourite books are Racing in the Rain, Hell Followed With Us, and Under the Whispering Door. my favourite movies are Interstellar, Twisters, and one i cannot remember at the moment.

my fandoms are DC, Danny Phantom, MCYT, DSMP, analog horror, and FNAF.

youtubers i like are Wendigoon, 4 Plus, Technoblade, Wilbur Soot (i am not here to discuss the recent issues; abuse is abuse but for the lOVE OF GOD SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST), and Sam & Colby.

You're stranded on the bridge, you're crying for your kids

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight, tonight, tonight

Mikaze Ai Voicelines Translation from Event Log

-All of this voicelines are from the Event Log (with both Mini Event and Talk section) on each of the Idol page. If you want to collect all of the other talk voicelines, you have to touch the background of the room (or rather anything other than the boys themselves) because touching them will only just trigger their skinship voicelines.

-If you ever see a blank one on the list, it's probably because I still haven't triggered and collected them or I just don't have their cards. I hope you can wait for the update until I finally collect them, or if any of you already have them it would be helpful if you could send me the SS of the missing voiceline so I could fill in the list 🙏

-Also the translations might not be fully accurate since I'm not that fluent on jp/en, so if i ever made a mistake do correct me🙏

Mini Event:

Tokiya's Birthday Celebration (Ai) Year 1: Ai: Happy Birthday, Tokiya. Although you always look serious but sometimes you also have a childish side as well, I think it's good though. Tokiya: Is that so…? But if Mikaze-san said so, then I'm sure it's a compliment, isn't it. Thank you very much. Reiji's Birthday Celebration (Ai) Year 1: Ai: Since it's your birthday, why don't you show a bit of your maturity? Anyway, congratulations Reiji. Reiji: Ai-Ai, thank you~! Don't get burned while looking at the grown-up Rei-chan, okay☆ Ah, don't ignore me!

Talk:

Talk Morning Topic: If you still haven't woke up yet, shall I be the one who manage your private time? Fufu, I'm just kidding. Talk Afternoon Topic: During the interview, they asked me on how do you approach someone that you like. Since they might be asking lots of question I went ahead and answered it but, what about you? Talk Evening Topic: Shall I go and make you a herbal tea? It smells really good and it'll help you to relax too. Talk Night Topic: Maybe I should try to practice singing a lullaby too. It'd be helpful to expand my singing range and it'd also be perfect to do it on the times when you can't fall asleep. Talk Summer Topic: I want to create a summer like memories with you…will you go with me? Of course you can leave all the planning to me.

Talk 1: I don't mind being relied on. If there's anything that you'd like to know, you can go ahead and ask me. Talk 2: Can you tell me your definition of what you think "cool?" looks like? Why you ask, I'm just a bit interested in it, that's all. Talk 3: I'm so happy to hear that everyone's listening to my song. You could say I'm also looking forward to it too. Talk 4: I think it's better to have a solid set schedule. If you move on time, there would be less waste and it'll be much more efficient. Talk 5: I guess you could say that the memories that I've accumulated during both of my private and work time are like my treasures. I cherish each and every one of them deep in my heart. Talk 6: There are still so many things that I don't know about everyone from QUARTET NIGHT. They're always full of surprises so you'll never get bored of them. Talk 7: The good thing about QUARTET NIGHT is the fact that we don't interfere with each other too much. It's so that we won't be too dependent on each other. Talk 8: To me, singing is just the same thing as being alive. It's something that's natural and essential. Talk 9: No matter what kind of performance it is, I'll always do it perfectly. Because I think that's how I show my sincerity to the people who come and watch me. Talk 10: After the recording of the show, I was given a commemorative group photo of the cast members. Seeing them somehow made me reliving those memories again, so I guess it wasn't that bad at all.

Talk 11: There was happened to be a mechanical trouble at work, but I'm relieved that I managed to help out. It's my specialty after all. Talk 12: I sometimes find a rare flower too even in the city centre. Seeing them bloom so strongly made me want to take a picture of it. Talk 13: I often get praised for being calm and reliable. I guess you could say that's one of my good points. Talk 14: While I was researching something, I happened to come across a passionate-filled review about my song. As I thought seeing that really made me happy. Talk 15: During the previous photoshoot, there was a mistake in regarding the size of Ranmaru's costume. Both the sleeves and hem of it were too short it made such an interesting sight. Talk 16: I usually spend my day off at home. Sometimes I try to make plans for a mountain climbing and it's quite fun. Talk 17: Looks like a new content has been added to the online game. I can't wait to play it soon. Talk 18: I was surprised when I saw Reiji quieter than usual on the site. It looks like he's in the middle of the game where you can't speak anything but in English. Talk 19: Observing people means that I could utilize what I have noticed from them and apply it to myself. That's why it's interesting. Talk 20: If only there could be a machine that can understand people's feelings…I'm sure people can't help but had thoughts of that before. Besides it would be much more efficient if there were.

Talk 21: Even during break time, I never forget to go collecting and analyzing data. There might be a chance when I can use it on my next job after all. Talk 22: Live performance is the place where I realize just how much I want to be liked by everyone. That's why I don't want to make even the slightest mistake. Talk 23: According to the data that I have, there's a high possibility that I'll be able to meet you again tomorrow. Is it okay for me to have expectation? Talk 24: A new week is about to begin. Let's make sure to plan things out properly and carefully. You can do it, can't you? I believe in you. Talk 25: I guess the bags that I own are mostly backpacks. They're easy to carry heavy things around and, more than anything, they're convenient because they keep both of my hands free. Talk 26: There's something that I want to confirm with you… Hm? Normally you'd always respond right away… How unusual. (when you ignore him) Talk 27: Hmm, now I'm more than curious to try and check just how far along you'd notice. Let's poke her around a little bit more. (when you ignore him) Talk 28: Hm, are you already done with your work now? Since you're so concentrated on it… No, it's not like I'm sulking or anything. (after you're done ignoring him) Talk 29: …I guess you finally noticed after how many long I've been staring at you huh. Looks like I manage to collect an interesting data. (after you're done ignoring him)

About Otoya: Otoya's not afraid of anything at all huh. I often saw him approaching his co-stars and talking to them. About Masato: Masato's sewing skills are amazing. It feels as if he can make everything. Maybe I should try to make something with my own hands too. About Natsuki: I always tell Natsuki each time I found something that he might likes. Like a cute goods or something. About Tokiya: Having a discussion with Tokiya is interesting. Since he's so knowledgeable, we can talk about lot of things from many different angles. About Ren: Ren also plays an online game, and I think our tastes are pretty similar. Though we both have a different playstyle. About Syo: When I go shopping with Syo, he tends to recommend me things that I'd never choose myself. But after that they ended up suits me well. About Cecil: Although Cecil is usually calm, he often panics in front of a fish. He's honest even when it comes to things he's not good at. About Reiji: Whenever there is a trouble happening, Reiji always rephrases it around in an optimistic way. In a way that part of him always help us out. About Ranmaru: He always try to repay anything that he borrowed, no matter how small it is. Ranmaru's sense of duty is one of his good points. About Camus: Out of all the members of the group, Camus is probably the one that I get along well with. He's a very well-informed person and that's why he's interesting.

Skinship 1: It's not that I hate it but… did you forgot that I'm supposed to be your Senpai? (touching head) Skinship 2: Shall I pat your head as well? You don't mind if I do it two times more than you did, right? (touching head) Skinship 3: Wait… what's wrong all of a sudden? Skinship 4: What kind of psychology is it behind poking my cheek? Skinship 5: That's quite a strange hobby you have. Are you the type who's more interested in upper arms? (touching arms) Skinship 6: I'm your Senpai after all, so you can always rely on me. Skinship 7: Hey… I'd be in a trouble if you did something irregular out of sudden. Skinship 8: Even if you didn't do that, I'd still listen to your story. Skinship 9: My opinions? Not in particular. Skinship 10: Next time it's your turn to get tickled. I'd like to collect a data for that. Skinship 11: Well then, I'm going to have to pay that back more or less the same amount of times than what you did to me.

Approach 1: As much as I'm having fun watching you, it seems like the data that I have is not enough. You'll surely help me out, won't you? Approach 2: I wonder why did you become so red like that just because I got closer to you, hm? I hope you can tell me the reason of it. Intimacy lvl-up 1: I don't mind spending time with you. It also feels like I gained new emotions from that too. Intimacy lvl-up 2: Huh, I didn't know you could make that kind of face too. Of course that only happens when you're with me, right? Intimacy Limit Release: I received your feelings. (Your) Birthday Celebration 1: Ai: You seem to be in a pretty good mood today. Somehow your face seems like you're waiting for me to say something to you. Ai: …Just kdding, there's no way I would forget about it. Happy birthday. I've been meaning to tell you that. Ai: I want to spend time with you for as long as I can for today. This is also one of your Senpai's order, I won't ever let you say no, okay?

This one is not listed, but here's a voiceline if you're trying to leave him:

Are you going somewhere now? I just need a few more minutes of your time. Can't I?

Bonus Voicelines from URs/SRs:

"Letter of Journey" Mikaze Ai Talk 1: There are so many things that I want to tell and show you. I want to walk through the same time as you. "Letter of Journey" Mikaze Ai Talk 2: The music that you gave always taught me of something that's important and dear to me. I'll never forget to always give out my thanks to you. "Be Elegant!" Mikaze Ai Talk 1: I'm happy to hear you talk about the thoughts that you put into that song. I'm also the first one who heard about it too, right. "Be Stylish!" Mikaze Ai Talk 1: Both of your reactions and mine were a little different than what I had expected. But somehow it left such a pleasant feeling in my heart. "Lavender king" Mikaze Ai Talk 1: Fighting for the sake of peace, huh. I wonder if Ai also had someone important that he wanted to protect as well. Just like how you are to me, for example.

A List Of Books/Stories About Transformation

You ever seen those titles of extremely specific essays? If this was one of those I'd call it "A List Of Books That Contain In Whole Or In Part Some Amount Of Transformation, Or The Changing Of Oneself To Another That Has In Some Manner Been Fundamentally Altered From The Self You Used To Be." That was the original title but I didn't want to be mean.

I was rambling far too long about post TF on one of warmer-hotcakes's posts and they mentioned not being able to find stories with a positive relationship to transformation (as well as transformations that are permanent) so I wanted to put a few down in a list!

Granted, these are incredibly inconsistent in pretty much every way other than being SFF but hey, we take what we can get here. Plus they weren't wrong it is VERY hard to find these kinds of stories, half of the list at this point is self published novels on Amazon written by people I've met by chance in TF circles, to give you an idea. So, to pad it out I will add more tangentially related TF stories.

If anyone happens to have more stories feel free to comment them and I'll add them on! I will also add to the list sporadically if I feel like it.

Anyway, without further ado:

Wolven by Di Toft is about a kid finding a werewolf out in the woods. It's been years since I read it but it's got a fun dichotomy between a villain and a protagonist both suffering from partial werewolfication and the ways they deal with it.

Thousand Tales by Kris Schnee is a self published series of books set in the near future where an AI runs a video game that allows people to be "uploaded" into it. There's a lot of books that don't need to be read in any specific order focusing on different characters and is generally a more lighthearted approach to the topic than most, and also it has furries in it. There are books about people who upload immediately, people who do eventually, and people who never do. Not quite the same as adjusting to changes IRL but this is my list and I get to shill whatever I want. Also, it's some of the highest quality writing/editing I have seen in a self-published novel (especially TF novel).

How To Be A Hero: (And Part Time Dragon) by S. Blakeway is a book about a hero who gets defeated and turned into a wyvern by the Dark Lord. Her eternal torment is interrupted, though, by said Dark Lord sending her out on a quest, during which she has to navigate turning back into a wyvern every few days. It's fun and silly and has lots of TF and the author is a very nice and cool person. Go buy this one and the sequel and help me bother her into finishing the trilogy please.

Perspective Flip also by Kris Schnee and Shifting Tails by Paul Lotor are a pair of short story collections. These are more of a soft recommend; both include cases of protags adapting to transformations, and generally involve positive stories, but not all of them are great. Perspective Flip is generally good but Shifting Tails especially has stories that lean very far into the horny side of things as well as topics I was very much not into, but some of them were admittedly very enjoyable. Being horny isn't bad, of course; it's moreso that there is less "story" and more "hey wouldn't this TF be hot." To be fair, sometimes they are, but sometimes they stray far away from my interests, so take that how you will.

Wereworld by Curtis Jobling is something I read as a kid but I'm gonna be honest I remember almost nothing about it. However it is about therianthropes of all types and I like that so it's going on here. They even have sharks!

The Dragon and the George by Gordon R. Dickson. Full disclosure, I have not finished reading this one, and I do not believe it has permanent TF, but it does feature a dude who astral projects into a dragon and is generally a fine book.

The Dangers Of Wearable Technology by Serathin Sabertooth (gods I hope that isn't a pen name, that would be so cool). This is one that I don't really recommend? Which is odd, you might say, for a list of recommendations. Correct! I just have a complex relationship with it, which I will include in a post here so that I don't flood this list with unnecessary words.

That's all I can think of at the moment, but like I said, feel free to send suggestions my way and I'd be happy to read em/add em to the list! Obviously it's pretty short right now and I'd love to bulk it up as much as possible for all us COOL NERDS

Yes I'm alive.

Yandere FNAF 1 headcanons:

(yes the art is indeed mine, I'm trying out something)

Yandere Freddy:

🎩 so first of all this dude is the looks like he could end your life in 1.0 seconds.

🎩 he definitely knows that he scares/intimidates people and thrives in it.

🎩 especially rude customers/Karen's, he loves the look on their face when he politely asks them to leave. It never gets old

🎩 now there's multiple ways you could meet this guy:

A: your working night shift and he slowly becomes obsessed

Or B: your working dayshift and you draw his attention. By either kicking someone out or just being kind to the kids.

🎩 either way he's certainly interested in you.

🎩 th first time you guys actually officially meet he tries to make a good impression. Y'know: being all gentlemanly and nice.

🎩 this bear LOVES to follow you around, but he doesn't want to come off as clingy to you so he restraints himself and stays on stage.

🎩 he really enjoys physical affection, he likes to give you bear hugs and nuzzle in to you.

🎩 although do not be fooled by him, he may seem to be a cute cuddle bear but when he doesn't like someone which is almost anyone who approaches you he gets mad easily.

🎩 he has some anger issues (not as bad as Monty but)

🎩 he deals with you being defiant in two ways:

He either waits till your done with your 'tantrum' as he calls it or he just locks you backstage for awhile.

🎩 he doesn't like having to punish you, he prefers to just cuddle you and smother you in affection.

🎩 most of the FNAF 1 gang are definitely some of the softest when it comes to you.

"are you ready for Freddy~?"

Yandere Bonnie:

💜 he's probably the most aggressive and cunning of the group. Finding ways to manipulate and toy with people.

💜 that however, does not apply to you. He would never.

💜 when he met you he just knew that it was love at first sight.

💜 this dude is 100 percent a worshipper, he can't keep his filthy paws off of you! Your just so perfect~

💜 he doesn't care if he comes off clingy tbh, cause he IS clingy. He, also like Freddy: loves to follow you around like a lost puppy.

💜 now he isn't delusional, at least completely. He smart enough to know that what he's feeling is wrong that he shouldn't be feeling it. But the thing is that he straight up doesn't care that he's delusional, He's happy and everyone else can die in a ditch 😀.

💜 he really likes to call you pet names like: darlin', sweets, and even cottontail is he feeling frisky 😉 (yes, I do headcanon them with ai's that are supposed to replicate humans and their feelings).

💜 but he....doesn't take defiance very well: it causes him to sober up a bit out of his delusions that he created. And as such he will get kinda pissed with you.

💜 but on a bit of a lighter note he likes to play music with you :)

💜 he likes to play your favorite song on his guitar and sing to you. (Yes, he can sing)

💜 he loves you so much, and you'll never get rid of him.

"sweets! I was worried you'd left...."

Yandere chica:

🧁 ah yes, mama chica.

🧁 I headcanon her as very sweet and loveable. Everyone likes her.

🧁 she's also an excellent cook, meaning whatever your favorite food is she will try to cook it for you.

🧁 she loves to give you hugs! She just loves you in general. There is absolutely nothing you could do that wouldn't make her just adore your every move.

🧁 you could litterly be a serial killer that kills for sport and she will think your an angel from heaven.

🧁 she isn't delusional, just lovesick. And oh so desperate for your affection and attention: like foxy and Goldie, she wants your attention a lot. But she isn't forceful like Cassidy is.

🧁 she deals with your tantrums in a different way, instead of punishing you like the others she just shuts you up with food XD

🧁 but if someone were to hurt you their dead meat.

"honey would you mind helping me make more cupcakes?"

Yandere foxy:

🏴‍☠️ our favorite pirate fox boy ✋☺️.

🏴‍☠️ ngl he's probably the softest out of the group. He's just so lonely to the point he craves attention. Please give it to him 🥺🙏.

🏴‍☠️ he's probably the only one that wouldn't kidnap you (unless your in danger)

🏴‍☠️ he's a soft boy ✋. Also those ears? Give em a pat.

🏴‍☠️ he really likes telling you about his adventures (pirate stories). He is quite a talker, he'll talk for hours about random shit untill it's six.

🏴‍☠️ he littlerly talked the night away.

🏴‍☠️ he gets kinda sad when you go home but he understands. He has some humanity 👌.

🏴‍☠️ despite being soft he flirts with you like there's no tomorrow. He does it in front of the others to.

🏴‍☠️ he deals with you yelling at him in a way he knows squeezes your heart strings: he just looks down in shame with his ears flat. Works every time.

🏴‍☠️ you wouldn't even guess he's a yandere till someone gets a little close to his liking.

"yarharhar! Don't worry darlin', i'll show that scallywag!"

Yandere golden Freddy/Cassidy:

💛 oh Lord, if you thought Freddy and bonnie were bad, wait till you see him. He's littlerly the biggest simp ever.

💛 you could just be breathing and he'll compliment on how utterly ✨bootiful✨ you look.

💛 being an old fredbear suit (this is my au) he can't move around much, but he can still somewhat move his arms. Which works well when they have to dispose of someone.

💛 he would littlerly jump off a cliff if you asked him.

💛 and they just love you so much they can't even say.

💛 they aren't to big on physical affection but he likes cuddles alot :D

💛 if anyone even much looks at you though he's ready to roundhouse this bish-

💛 how dare they breathe the same air as you 😤✋

💛 he's actually pretty manipulative, he does things he knows you like to attract you to them.

💛 and with tantrums? He just holds you and ignores all the biting and crying :)

💛 he isn't delusional but he isn't all that....sober either. He switches off.

💛 he's not very emotionally stable, but he tries :'(

💛 though he just likes to hold you with that same lovesick look in his nonexistent eyes

"darling....could you please come here? I would like to hold you right now"

VOICE DRAMA　非人間と宇宙人

Ai: Hi, Jun.

Jun: Hi. Admin.

Ai: ...... huh.

Jun: You seem to be at a loss for words, didn't you come here with a script?

Ai: I wonder if Tsuguha told you about that...

Jun: Well, yeah.

Ai: It's true that I've been thinking about what to ask, just in case. I was, however, amused. You were hostile at first, but you're surprisingly cooperative, aren't you?

Jun: Are you kidding me? If it looks that way, you're wrong. If anything, I'm just not going to put up a pointless resistance. You're not our enemy either, even though you ended up in that role.

Ai: Right.

Jun: I gave you an answer, but you're not going to like it if you act like that.

Ai: Thanks for the advice. I'm sorry, but I don't really know what that feels like.

Jun: Oh, I see.

Ai: Well, introduce yourself.

Jun: Jun, that's all.

Ai: Didn't you say you don't interfere with business?

Jun: That's your broad interpretation, one, I didn't say I wouldn't interfere, and two, I introduced myself. That's all.

Ai: Don't you introduce yourself too?

Jun: Hmmm, I see. Did Tsugu say the same thing? Well, that's what I meant.

Ai: This job isn't easy either...I'm going to change the way I ask. What did you do before you came here?

Jun: Nothing special. Just the usual. Go to school, go home. Eat and sleep.

Ai: ...How is life here?

Jun: Nothing too good, nothing too bad.

Ai: Really? You seem to get along well with Tsuduri.

Jun: Hmm, I won't deny it. There are a lot of weirdos out there, so it's only logical to approach the one who seems the most normal.

Ai: Wow, you think that way. So, if there is someone more decent than Tsuduri, would you hang out with him?

Jun: Hmmm, sorry, I can't say that I would. I guess it would be more correct to say that I am where I am supposed to be.

Ai: I don't really know...

Jun: You don't have to understand, I didn't ask you to.

Ai: No, I didn't mean it the way I said it.

Jun: What?

Ai: I understand your point of view. I mean, you are where you are because you are comfortable with your role, right?

Jun: Well, that's what it comes down to.

Ai: As I told you earlier, I don't understand you because you are so cooperative instead of complaining about this jail. If you want to sabotage me, you don't have to answer my questions, do you?

Jun: You've made your decision. I'm just comfortable in my role. Sabotage is pointless.

Ai: Why do you feel that interference is pointless?

Jun: I kind of know what I'm going to do. To put it plainly, I could hit Anta here and sabotage her, but that would be played by the system, right? It's the same thing.

Ai: Didn't you say you were falsely accused at first? Why are you giving up so much?

Jun: I think it's a false accusation. But that's for you to decide, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you try. Life is complicated because you try to cover it up. If you are honest, your life will be easier.

Ai: ...What if I judge you to be evil?

Jun: What will you do...? I don't know. You won't know until the time comes. I don't want you to judge my life in the first place.

Ai: I hope I didn't give you a hard time.

Jun: Don't feel sorry for me, it's creepy.

Ai: I'm not trying to antagonize you guys. Besides, I think I've learned a lot about compassion for others after talking with Tsuguha.

Jun: ...I'm sorry Tsuguha, but I'll teach you for your own good.

Ai: Jun?

Jun: It is indeed difficult to survive without compassion. As a human being. But you shouldn't live by caring sincerely. Instead of caring sincerely, you should care in order to use, otherwise it is you who will be used.

Ai: Well...

Jun: You don't understand, do you? It's knowledge that you will eventually need. If it's unnecessary for you, that's okay.

Ai: Oh, thank you? I wonder if it's okay to...

Jun: Giving up, you know, is my salvation. Expectations are feelings of betrayal and loss. Life can be mundane. Just because it's Sunday doesn't mean it's good, and tomorrow I have to go to school.

Ai: For you, is it painful to go to school tomorrow?

Jun: At least it's not fun. There are a lot of humans there, right?

Ai: You are human too, right?

Jun: ...I don't know. Maybe I'm just a looker, maybe I'm not a person.

Ai: Are you the type to be surprisingly spiritual?

Jun: No? See, some people are very human, and some are outcasts.

Ai: I know what you mean. What is the difference between the two for you?

Jun: Difference? Difference, yeah. If a person was down and you were the only one there, what would you do first?

Ai: What? In practical terms, I would call an ambulance to help him.

Jun: If you were a human being, of course you would do that, right?

Ai: Of course.

Jun: That's naive. There are people in the world who think about the benefits of helping first. There are people who would help a fallen person if they can get a reward for it.

Ai: Worst case scenario...but there are definitely people like that.

Jun: I think such a person is not a human being.

Ai: So, what you mean by ''not human'' is...

Jun: You can figure out the rest on your own.

Ai: Yes. Non-human.

Jun: Hmm, I like that way of calling you that. But I would call myself an alien. And you are the non-human.

Ai: I guess you're right, now I'm...

Jun: But you should remain pure and innocent and believe in your own values. Don't be influenced by anyone.

Ai: Can I ask you something else that I don't understand?

Jun: Sure.

Ai: Why do you care so much?

Jun: I don't care. It's a role.

Ai: That's a kind role.

Jun: No matter what you say to an alien, you won't reach him because he doesn't have a heart.

[bell tolling]

Ai: Come on, alien, the interrogation is over. Do you have anything left to say?

Jun: Nothing left to say. I'll leave it up to you to decide, but you've got to be a good judge of character.

Ai: You say disturbing things.

Jun: I have an alien intuition. No, it's a lie. Maybe it's telepathy between aliens.

Ai: It's a roundabout warning.

Jun: That's what it's supposed to do. Don't let someone like me kill you.

Ai: Yeah. I never really knew much about yourself.

Jun: Only now. I'm just one way or the other.

Ai: Well, then, let me retrace the steps that led to your resignation.

This is part 2 of the "What if Yuu didn't want to go back?" Series! The plot thickens...

(I, the author of this work, do not consent to this work being crossposted/translated without my knowledge or used to train an AI, ever.)

Masterlist

Woah. This is... incredible.

I mean, it was incredible when I looked up and saw a fucking castle, but this? All this shiny white and gold? I feel like I'm going to be a royal's personal servant. But, this is Pomefiore dorm- and I'm in Pomefiore! Does that mean I'm the royal?

"Alright!" Vil's call for attention is met with the ceasing of the oohs and aahs in favor of all eyes on him. He looks powerful, but not in an intimidating way- rather, I feel drawn to him. Based on the body language of those around me, though, that might just be a "me and Grim" thing. The kid on my right looks meek.

"Third years, you know what to do. Second years, you do what the third years are doing. Rook, on my left. First years, I am still waiting on the list with all your names on it, so you will be placed into your dorm rooms now. Those of you with feline slash feline-adjacent familiars, stand in the circle." With magic, he draws a large, glowing blue outline of a circle on the floor to his right. I look at Grim and make our way through the crowd, my cat on my shoulder, and stand in the circle. There are nine people standing on Vil's right by the end of it, including me.

While I have Grim, there's a kid on my right with white hair, caramel skin, and an ice-blue panther-looking thing that's about as tall at the shoulder as he is at the hip. Its eyes are completely black, like ink, and it's apparently just as confused as its human.

To my left is a kid with an opossum. The 'possum has a deep blue body and tail, along with a white head that almost makes it look like the thing is wearing a skull. Its eyes are seagreen everywhere except the pupils.

Vil points at the kid on my left. "What's your name?"

"K-Korrak." The kid rolls the r as he says it.

"Alright, and what's your name?" He's pointing at me now. But, before I can stutter out my answer at the question I should've been anticipating, Grim answers for me.

"I'm Grim!" Vil does not appear as amused as he did. Grim, taking notice, adds, "and this is Yuu."

"You? I do not believe that is me."

"No, no, Yuu. Y-u-u, not y-o-u."

"Ah, okay. Yuu, Korrak, you two will be in room 109. There is a cat tree for your familiars to share and two cat beds for them to split. Here you are." He hands me a key with the Pomefiore crest on the end. Upon examining it, the number 109 is engraved on it.

"You two may now go to your dorm room and get settled in. I trust you know how to retrieve your things?" Korrak nods. Grim and I say nothing. Vil smiles, as though pleased. "Off you go, then."

Room 109 is easy to find. It's on the left, just like every other odd number, and is on the first floor. The door is huge, large enough to fit me and Korrak shoulder-to-shoulder with Korrak's familiar standing on his head, not touching the top of the doorframe.

Inside, there's two twin canopy beds, two small, blue cat beds, two pristine white nightstands, and- as promised- a cat tower, right in the middle. I take the canopy bed on the right. Korrak flops down onto his new bed, waves his magic pen, and starts unpacking the luggage he just summoned. There isn't much- just a two rolly bags and a backpack.

Korrak's familiar takes notice of my staring. "Pilot parents," it says, "everything has to fit on a plane." I nod. This new world has airplanes, too, huh?

There's a knock on the door. "Come in," Shouts the 'possum. Vil opens the door.

"Yuu, come with me. Now." I immediately approach, Grim now on my head, to follow Vil down the hall and into what looks to be a makeup department you'd see in a "behind the scenes: live-action movie" documentary.

A blonde boy I recognize as Rook is already standing there, motioning for me to sit in one of the chairs. I look to Vil for confirmation before taking the seat. Rook takes Grim off of my head, sits in the chair next to mine, and places Grim on the counter in front of him.

All Grim has time to say is, "myaah?" Before Rook pulls out a cat brush and starts brushing my familiar's fur. Grim soon settles into the comforting sensation with a continuous purrrrrr.

"Yuu. Look at me." Vil's voice draws my attention once more, and I look directly into his violet eyes. "Why the fuck is your hair this matted? When did you last brush it?"

"Uhh... good question. I'd tell you if I knew."

My answer is honest. The rage in Vil's eyes is bright like floodlights.

"Why don't you know?" I shrug. Vil's voice is low and nearly sinister- but not quite.

"Grim." Vil's head snaps toward Rook, as though daring him to speak again. "When was the last time Yuu brushed his hair?"

Grim shrugs. "I dunno. We met just before the ceremony."

The upperclassmen now appear confused, Vil more so than Rook. "You... Just met? Today?" Vil alone speaks at first, but his and Rook's voices blend together for the final word.

"Yeah, Grim wanted to enroll and broke open a coffin-box so he could have a uniform."

"Hench-Human knew my name. Somehow, I knew his. Dunno how that works, but that probably means he's my familiar, right?"

Both the blondes are stunned into silence. Rook is the first to break it.

"So, did you meet and magically bind as children, only to forget and be reunited years later as familiars?" He looks... exited now. "Beauté!"

"Probably not," I jump in, "given that I'm not from a world with magic, and can't use any myself."

Vil looks shocked. "What do you mean, you can't use magic? How in tarnation did you get a spot at Night Raven College with no magic?"

"Hell if I know. Hey, where are we? I know we're in Pomefiore dorm at Night Raven, but... geographically, where are we?"

Vil sighs. It's obvious that he never expected that question, or the lack of magic.

"Twisted Wonderland, spud. That's the broadest way I can put it."

"Okay. Broadest way I can put it, I'm from the Milky Way Galaxy."

Now he's looking at me weird.

"We are in the Twisted Galaxy's Selm system, on the specific planet 'Wonder.' People usually call our planet 'Twisted Wonderland.' With that in mind, where are you from?" Rook's elaboration gives me a better idea of what to say next.

"Earth, of the Milky Way Galaxy's Sol system. I've only really heard people call it 'Earth.'"

"Myaah, I never knew Twisted Wonderland was the name of the planet! That's so cool!"

Vil sighs and starts cutting my hair. "Let's... worry about that after we get this rat's nest off your head." Rook goes back to brushing Grim. For a moment, I allow myself to believe everything is okay. And, for the first time in my life, that feels true.

GoldenRock Au Masterpost!

Here are all the text posts i’ve made about this au;

— — — — — —

Characters:

THESE ARE NOT THE PERSONALITY TRAITS, JUST THE ROLE IN THE STORY

Cassie: Cassidy’s counterpart

Gregory: CC’s counterpart

Cassidy: Cassie's Counterpart

Evan: Gregory’s counterpart

Vanessa: Mikes counter but also Williams?

Mike: Ness’s counter but also Gregory's?

William: Still a serial killer but matches/mirrors Vanny from SB. so also a ness counterpart

Everyone else is the same mostly, don't really change the roles besides the fact that instead of CC (Greg in og) getting possessed by my mimic/glitch trap, it's mike (for GGYthing. Name would be MCL.) And William is still evil. He just follows a similar role to Vanny in sb but isn't a reluctant follower. He welcomes vanni as a parasite. He also is still partners with henry (business) but now they just own fredbears megaplex. Henry is basically the same. Charlie and Mike are close in age and Sammy is here too. And Jeremey. Bc gays. everyones a bit older here so like 16-17. They all work (illegitimately) at the plex as security guards on weekends and afterschool. Cheaper to pay and it keeps them out of trouble (looking at mike specifically). Vanessa is a corpse bc uhh… michael counterpart. She still works at the company as a repairman, but is not seen till later. all 5 missing kids (susie, gabriel, ect) are here as well, and they do indeed end up missing (more on that later)

Now animatronics.

Goes up to the toys bc i like them best. So the mini music men are the main toys, with mangle as the actual music man. There's only 3 mini’s obviously lmao. Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica. But they are very fast and perform with mangle in the arcade. Puppet is a map bot but also sun and moon?. she floats from the celling like moon does with his cord but thats where the similarities end. She gives guests glowing green wristbands that serve as the fazwatch in this universe. its for parents to keep track of their kid, using an app?? But here it is used to track kids to isolate them from each other, and make them go “missing”. Like circus baby if ykwim. Speaking of which, circus baby. I like her. So she's here as well. Remember peepaw afton. Yeah well that's circus baby now. Used to get vanni (parasite little bitch) what she needs to survive, a body of her own.

And uh funny story. Elizabeth finds out that her dad is possessed by a parasite from the 80’s and her brother is controlled by something similar, so William takes action ig. But wait. I'm not letting her go just yet. Afterall, Evan and Cassidy need a buddy to travel with as well, right? Their 2 extra friends aren't quite enough… So more on that later for spoiler reasons. also no mimic bc i dont even want to delve into that can of worms... closest u get is circus baby. be happy its JUST circus baby lmao

Ok main animatronics. Roxy, Glam Freddy, Spring Bonnie, and Golden Freddy. All the glamrocks are present in the 1980's original diner, but Ness got a bit angry and uhhh... oops Vanni made her kill people haha. so they are. gone. for now. Roxy and Freddy are completely robotic and have no sentience. Not in the traditional sense anyway. But… Spring Bonnie and Golden Freddy are. Got all that fun AI jazz. They don't match up with any of the glamrocks in particular? Just kind of their own character. So obviously spring bonnie gets the glitch thing from MCL William and is trying to kill Cassidy and Evan. Same with mangle and the toys. But GoldF is like glamrock freddy, AS A ROLE. completely diff personality. So he helps the kids. And that's when stuff really goes down.

— — — — — —

okay lets start with the emily’s becuase. because i can. Henry and William are partners in owning the plex and henry is known as the more approachable head of the company. he tends to walk around the plex and interact with all the kids and stuff. when shit heats up, he plays the role of trying to calm will down and figure out what’s controlling him in the first place. he tries to recode the animatronics (minus golden freddy) but it doesn’t… really work. fun stuff happens with him later >:)

now charlie. so charlie works as a security guard with mike, jeremy, and sammy on weekends to make a bit of extra cash. when mike and will get controlled (willingly or not) but Vanni, she takes the role of Cassie (sorta) and does her best to free mike. she’s the one who finds the foxy mask that lets her see wet floor bots. by deactivating the bots, she slowly weakens Vanni’s power over the other animatronics. she investigates what’s happening in the plex and protects the kids.

sammy plays a super crucial role to this au. he acts as tony in this au, and we all know what happens to tony in ggy… so uh not gonna say much about that til later but he is the MAIN investigator with charlie and has a fun encounter with mike eventually.

not an afton or a emily but jeremy is just tape girl in this. he records messages while he is hiding from william and mike because Vanni has deemed him a good host, even better than william or micheal. So he’s just hiding around and recording messages before he gets captured as a way to keep Vanni out of his head.

elizabeth is kind of still in the works story wise. she cant find her dad when he gets ‘captured’ by Vanni and then goes looking for him, and ends up in a room that she really shouldn’t be in. the scooping room. baby is there and takes the now organless elizabeth and stuffs her inside to be harvested for remnant. so… bye bye elizabeth. (ask from @hearts4ggy)

— — — — —

mike is definitely uncomfy with having his body be controlled by a weird ass rabbit parasite dickhead thing, but william is very good at manipulating him so he just stays quiet. not 100% sure yet how he gets all caught up in the vanni stuff but my working idea is that vanni needs somebody else besides william to do its dirty work so they choose micheal bc he’s perfect for the job. checks off all the boxes. hates his brother (meh) related to william, and very easily manipulated. william used circus baby to insert part of vanni into him (with like a microchip or smth) and that’s that. micheal initially isn’t reluctant becuase his dad finally wants him for something (ouch) and he’ll do anything to make him proud, but after the Sammy Incident (tm) hes very reluctant. hes pretty aware and vanni lets him take control of his own body when interacting with the kiddos.

mmm i think evan would notice mike was off but would stay quiet because hes got his hands full with cassie and gregory. Elizabeth is a similar situation to micheal where her dad calls her into the scooping room and she follows because again, william finally wants her “help” with something. she’s used for information about what’s going on with evan and cassidy but when she says she doesn’t know vanni gets pissed and kills her so that she can be used for remnant to keep vanni active in both micheal and william. if anyone was to notice something weird about micheal, it sammy, then charlie. and ofc jeremy knows becuase that’s who micheal is mainly after until vanni can locate the kids.

henry has a lot of shit going on in this au but honestly, he just hides. he finds sammy and sees micheal kill him but does nothing to really help at first. he watches micheal drag sammy away and then the kids and charlie find him. he can’t bear to tell charlie what he saw so he just runs away into one of the remote security offices, which is the same one vanessa was in. vanessa tells him everything since she’s been watching the whole time from cameras but she herself isn’t strong enough to fight back, so henry takes that role from her. using the bracelet sammy was wearing (it has his name engraved on it but its a special puppet bracelet) she tracks him and tells him where to go to get the anamtronics (who are attacking the kids) under control. (ask from @hearts4ggy )

— — — — — —

This is kinda foreshadowing for the scooping incident i mentioned previously. but until that happens i would imagine vanessa being unable to deal with the lack of closure between her and gregory. he would show up in her dreams often, usally berating her over the bite. his death was caused by only her, no interference from vanny. and while cassie was killed out of desperation (more on that later) gregory was killed completely out of overreaction. vanessa had no idea that shoving him inside the mouth of the glamrock freddy animatronic would kill him, and yet her actions caused the death of someone she cared about. maybe the only person she ever truly cared about.

all the arguing for AI art because other dweebs you respect have collectively decided it's a neat tool (and I'm not disputing that it is) is going to look really stupid in 10 years. capitalism uses new tools to further its own ends, and the ends of capitalism in the art and design space are "pay artists less", "arrogate the fruits of creative work to brand owners", and "homogenize as much as possible".

in ten years, if AI art isn't a flash in the pan or strangled in the crib (both seem increasingly unlikely), my conservative estimation on the results will be: - pro design pay rates will stagnate at their current levels in real dollars, losing out to inflation gradually until the sort of person who gets published in magazines or commissioned to design storefront art will not be able to pay rent alone even on a good month - freelance rates will, considered hourly, likely decline in real dollars between now and 2030, making work outside of highly specialized fields like furry erotica or technical illustration more or less uneconomical - at least temporarily, there will be a profound self-similarity in the visual language of new art, and cultural production in the 2020s and 2030s will come to be regarded as a nadir of artistic taste, think "magazine ads from the 1950s" and you won't be far off - bigoted decisions will continue to be fake-outsourced to machines, and AI art will become both a tool and driver for them. as a trivial example, every model i've played with has had way more trouble generating recognizable or consistent images of Black celebrities than non-Black ones; it's trivial to imagine this amplifying existing biases in stock photography or art even without any actively malicious intent on anyone's part, and you're kidding yourself if you think the market for commercial art isn't kinda racist already. also, just thinking about how the existing inadequacies in trans/queer representation will be amplified to funhouse mirror proportions makes my brain hurt - in all likelihood, the better-trained AI is to make art, the better-trained it will be to recognize art, which means we are approaching a point at which it will be both legally and technologically feasible for Disney et al to start suing/C&Ding children for fanart more or less automatically, making websites like Deviantart and Tumblr - and art aggregators more generally - difficult or punitive to run. i'm not confident that point is between now and 2033 but i'm confident it will happen within my lifetime

I want to pick a fight with my composition and literature professor so badly. There are so many bad takes in this class.

Also, in a discussion about what literature is, what we personally consider to be literature or not, and why, they assumed I didn't do the reading because I mentioned things that were not included in the reading...have you never read a thing and then decided to do further research? Sorry that mentioning Russian Formalism as one of the lenses that have been used to attempt to define literature confused you, professor, who spent the entire Week Two class resources talking about how kids these days don't read and thus naturally find the task of writing about literature "daunting" and "useless." I guarantee you the majority of us don't have that problem. Have you ever been exposed to the internet? The issue is not that kids these days don't read books and write about them, we do this to the extreme. The issue is a trained lack of reading comprehension due to schools teaching the "one right answer" approach to literary analysis, a mentality that has found a thriving home among internet discourse accounts.

I acknowledge I have severe sample bias if I were to say, "All my friends love literature," because that is the social circle I'm immersed in, but I'm at least aware of how many of my peers outside of that circle treat books and reading in general. I know a lot of them don't read enough. The origin of that tends to be they are extremely overtaxed when it comes to time and energy, not "they think reading is daunting, boring, and/or useless."

I also don't think that literature needs to be redefined to include memes, tweets, and song lyrics (the examples the course materials gave) and that literature is dead (exact phrasing) if we do not. I think there can be literary merit in any format, and I'm not against broader definitions of literature, but the debate is the same as asking, "What is art?"

Is art dead if we don't include AI anime girls and a banana taped to a wall? No. There are still plenty of people who paint in a style you would recognize as "art." The question of "what art is" is an entirely different debate than "are kids these days creating and consuming art as I currently consider it?" They shouldn't be tied to each other like, "Well, no one likes Monet anymore (false), so I guess we need to expand the definition of art so it isn't dead."

#not bothering with sources in this because the professor didn't bother with sources in claiming youth doesn't read #rant #literature rant #english lit #tell me if you disagree with any of this #i'm curious if i'm the one wrong here but come on #'you should do the reading because then you would know if [thing they haven't read] counts as literature'#buddy I decided to use more than one lens of analysis. I came to the conclusion that it is but also that it is subjective.#and I'm sure they haven't read it because I purposefully chose a niche and *difficult to apply the readings to* example #long post

do u have any peni hcs? 👀

also i love ur peni content where she plays a more prominent role :)

Aww, thanks! I can get Very Attached to characters who I feel needed More from the Narrative, lol.

Now, for headcanons:

Since Peni works for Oscorp, she Absolutely milks the fact that they Need her to pilot SP//dr to get Things like rare snacks and merchandise and music and trinkets for Spider's terrarium

She was already kind of an Oddball while going to boarding school when her dad was out being SP//dr. The typical parent-influenced child cruelty towards kids with absent parents

She was transferred to a school closer to Oscorp and her Aunt and Uncle upon getting Bit, and she’s kinda known as the “kid with her head in the clouds” and “kid who definitely brings a spider with her to school but as long as her grades are good and it doesn’t bite anyone then whatevers”

There’s a bit of contradictory info in the comics about how secret her identity as SP//dr is, but for the movie-verse I imagine Oscorp tries to keep that info contained since she’d be vulnerable while at school but also More Importantly to avoid a Media Uproar about them having a Child fight deadly foes on the regular

As I’ve said, I’d want Peni and Addy to be Besties before the VE#m Incident. Maybe instead of the ill-timed approach during school that the comics had, Uncle Ben would’ve introduced Addy to Peni as a potential support/partner during missions. Peni would be kinda resistant at first like the comics cuz What Is She without SP//dr and now there’s someone who could potentially Replace Her???? But then maybe they’d bond over music and that’d snowball into friendship as Peni showed Addy the ropes concerning mech piloting and “it’s different since you’ll be bonding with just the AI but I’m sure you’ll be fine!”

The “new” SP//dr design was based off schematics Peni unearthed after being in a bit of a Fugue State post-VE#m Incident. Maybe they were files her father had hidden away.

It's Awkward when Peni starts living with Ben and May. Peni was probably already a bit self-sufficient from living at boarding school, and Ben and May are scientists first, guardians second. That changes, softens, when time passes. I think by the time the VE#m Incident happened, maybe Peni was beginning to see them more like parents

It's kinda curious that Ben wasn't a genetic match for SP//dr. Maybe Peni's dad and him aren't blood-related??

In the comics, Daredevil is sorta like Peni's mentor? Would love to see him in the movie-verse, too, as like a mentor/dorky uncle who keeps giving her stickers with weird/funky imagery cuz he can't see them and thinks it's funny to surprise the both of them upon gifting like "here, kid." "...Uncle Matt, this is a sticker sheet of gold stars saying 'you tried.'" "Oh, huh, well, you're welcome." (She sticks one of these on him when he isn't paying attention)

And ohhhh MAN, I know we didn't see him in ATSV, but there's a Kamen Rider/Super Sentai-inspired Spidey who pilots a huge zord called Leopardon and he and all the other mech/robo Spideys are like a Squad in the comics. Would love to see him and Peni bonding over mechanics!!

Peni Definitely had a hand in building/improving the Go Home Machine with Margo

Something someone said to me on Twitter because of my Trust comic is that Spider probably hangs out with other Spideys while Peni is hyperfocused on her work. And I was like YES she Absolutely has to basically play hide n seek with Spider and go to all her friends to see which one has him

Spider likes being spun around like a yo-yo and has a Lot of fun hanging with Pavitr. Spider has a specific reason for liking each of the Squad, actually, and will go to them depending on his Mood

Spider is Highly Intelligent and can pilot SP//dr independently to help Peni with tasks (in the Spider-Verse Unlimited webcomic he helps Peni with her hardwiring homework)

Peni and Spider's psychic connection happens with feelings instead of words. In the suit, those feelings tend to synch so they're of one mind. With the other Spideys, Spider usually communicates with a Lot of gestures and hopping but will resort to Charlotte's Web and weave words if he needs to

Back to my mention of Spider with a Terrarium. He has multiple: one at Peni's house, one at Oscorp, and one at the Spider Society. None of them follow a specific aesthetic, just whatever Spider and Peni like at any given moment

Peni keeps a container of live insects on her person at all times for Spider. She has absolutely almost opened the container on multiple occasions forgetting it's not one of Her Snacks

In the spirit of Peni's heinous ability to chew bubblegum and eat chips at the same time, she Loves eating things with strong flavors and weird textures

One time she spent a Whole Week grinding levels for an MMO with her tech bud, Margo, and they celebrated their raid boss victory by turning the Go Home room into a massive blanket fort where they were found fast asleep in a pile of pillows surrounded by snacks (oh, shit, I should draw that hold on I'm adding it to my list, lol)

And to close on a somber note, Peni has a small shrine at home for her father, her aunt, and Addy. She always takes a moment with it before leaving the house.

And nooow, here’s some Actual Canon things in the Movie-verse I noticed after watching ITSV Everyday for a Week:

Her psychic link with Spider and SP//dr means she Feels when the mech gets Rough Up

Her eyes glowed red when Spider bit her and I imagine they just Do That whenever she focuses on their Bond

The SP//dr mech probably had its own sentience/AI since it emoted without either of its pilots inside. Remnant of her father, maybe?

Okay also speaking of her father, since he Built that suit that means he was probably a Huge Dork for designing the outer panel to emote like that (or Peni programmed it that way but it’s cuter to think her dad did it, lol)

Also, either her dad was a Small Guy or the pilot’s chair was adjusted to fit Peni after she took over, which MMM means it has to get adjusted every time Peni grows like that’s not a particularly efficient design choice??? Or maybe the hull can just adjust itself depending on the pilot, lol

SP//dr’s joints are Magnetized, which gives it a pretty broad range of movement

Peni was trained in some sort of martial arts, which makes sense if she ever needs to fight while outside the suit and gives SP//dr more versatility during combat if it’s in-built weapons aren’t viable

At the very least, Peni is Bilingual. Her New York probably has a majority mix of English and Japanese speakers

She embossed the Goober with a Spidey Insignia, which she either made on the side while working on the Goober or her universe just Has That, lol. Maybe it’s the insignia they use in Oscorp to label SP//dr-related things

She knew where Aunt May's house was in Miles' universe, so she canonically lives in Queens, too. I wonder if she tried going to Oscorp at all?

Heelies heelies she has Heelies which is so freaking Adorable!!

Wow, this is a lot more than I thought I'd write, lol! Hope you enjoyed! ^w^

#spiderverse #peni parker #sp//dr #itsv #atsv #atsv spoilers #across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #sea rambles #started this thinking oh I'll only say a few things #i was wrong lol #also decided to add some movie canon cuz there's Definitely some misinformation going around about Peni #kid is Japanese-American and Doesn't live in Tokyo lmao #please see past all the anime-aesthetics she is an OG Gerard Way Creation #other characters that i feel deserved more include: Laika from Dames and Dragons Rise Casey Jones Sr Kairi Kingdom Hearts #and More LOL #a lot of them girls cuz UHHHHHH the media I like for some reason does a disservice to their female characters *glares fully at KH*

Art is a cutthroat business cuz its about like something or other. You have to - no wait. You can't - no wait. There are those limitations again. But does that mean I can't have any limitations? Shit!! Shitshitshit!!! That's a limitation. You broke the rules you set for yourself. Just kidding! If "there are no absolutes" is itself an absolute then that means in theory there can be some absolutes sometimes and that the situation is more nuanced than you think. What does this mean for the art world? It means that you can probably do whatever you want and you can set limitations whenever you want and you can approach it however you want and it doesnt even mean anything because art is a part of reality - defined by it materially, its manufacturers are influenced by reality, etc - but that it itself, *that thing we call art* is a series of interpretations of something beyond the physical plane. Natural laws do not affect it and yet its the most material of all the ideals. But also not really. Art is just a word with a flexible definition. Or a static definition. Depends on who you ask. Don't ask me what is and is not art. I don't even know what the flexible definition is. Even when you call it AI art and say it isn't art, you still refer to it as adjective A.R.T. So what is it? I figure its one of those questions best left unanswered. You just make it and see what happens.

Supermay!: Superman TAS: Last Son of Krypton Review (Comission by WeirdKev27)

Hello all you happy kryptonians and welcome back to Supermay! And.. another schedule change. So long story short I got hit upside the head with a cold, so I was sick most of last week so doing a long 16 part serial THEN a three part mini series may of been a bit much and Kev graciously offered to do something else. And since we've covered plenty of Batman the Animated Series and will again, i'ts only fair we take a look at the other side of the coin, the three part pilot to superman the animated series, Last Son of Krypton

Superman TAS came about for the reason a lot of animated series often do

DC was considering a new superman film, likely the one where braniac wrestled a polar bear, and wanted a series to go with it. Timm naturally agreed. He tried to go for a style reminsicent of the 40's flescher cartoons at first, but realized he simply coudln't match it and instead went full art deco again, going for a chunky futrist design.

The result got us three great seasons of a fantastic show. Like Batman TAS I grew up with this show, though I didn't see it as often on cartoon network or kids wb. Even then Warner's bat bias was strong. I still liked what I saw and rewatching it years later, the series is excellent, distlling decades of superman into a stylish package the same way batman did.

While the two shows would look similar and have simliar "Retro universe that has modern tech and sensiblities", styles, they fitting take opposite approaches to how they tell stories: Batman is case of the week, Superman has overaching big bads in Luthor, Braniac and eventually Darkseid alongside various villians of the week. Gotham is dark and and feels cramped, Metropolis is perptual blue skies and bright optmistic arctechture. The villians Batman fought are mostly people who need help but won't take it and have some sort of tragic past, most of the villians of superman tas are assholes, with the ocasional sympathetic vilian, but the big three especailly are pure monsters, if very intresting and layred monsters. It's not a shock a superman show an da batman show would contrast, but it's neat in HOW they DO SO, yet still feel consitant with each other: Superman still feels like an "ultimate unvierse" take, taking all the best ideas from decades of media and compressing them down similar to batman, while bringing it's own bold new ones to the table.

That approach is seen well in this opening three parter/movie: Last Son of Krypton succesfully crams superman's origins on krypton, his youth, and his first days as superman into one narrative that never feels overpacked while setting up two of the series rotating big bads perfectly. Come with me under the cut and see what I mean and see that a man can fly.

Part one takes place entirely on Krypton and as a kid I found this bit boring, and feel it colored my later perception of stories based on krypton: kinda boring and sterile. I admit I still haven't completely shaken this, as I prefer Superman as throughly human and krypton being a part of his past. There can be GOOD krypton stories, see the New Krypton arc of superman, but the culture's just never fascinated me that much in the incarnations i've seen. So a full episode there wasn't a great prospect.

So it's telling that Superman the Animated Series DOES sell it on me a bit. The design of it still isn't fo rme.. all crystal spires and pretty standard sci fi stuff: robes, stuffy councils etc. But character wise it tells a fairly heartbreaking story of a man BEGGING his government to listen to problems that will destroy them and said government refusing to hear them due to their own petty arrogance and self intrest. And a rampant ai. It helps the idea of a planet destroying itself and not realizing it is all to prescient into how humanity treats the planet, only with thousands of jor els instead of just this one guy. While stuffy boards who don't really buy into what the heroes says are PAINFULLY common and get tediousu, it's part of why krypton has'nt really grown on me, the fact it's all to realistic helps a lot.

That one man? Shooter McGavin

Okay technically that last man is PLAYED by Shooter McGavin actor Christopher McDonald, who you may also remember from such films as Grease 2 , Thelma and Louise, and the tv show Hacks. McDonald does a fantastic job, to the point it was only on this second watch I recognized him.

He fights a monster as he researches because this episode needs more than one action scene apparently, and returns to his wife Lara, voiced by All My Children and Charmed alum Finola Hughes, whose distractingly british but like McDonald does a great job.

At home Jor El plays with Baby Kal El, and argues with his father in law Sul Van. Sul Van is played by voice acting legend Tony Jay , who usually plays the bad guys in these sorts of things but here is just "disapproving old man" which to be fair Jay also did a great job with. Van is a mouthpiece for the council Jor Els on, all of whom think he's crazy and avoid him. Jor-El is confident though that they will belivie him and krypton CAN be saved

Yeah as usual.. it dosen't go this way, partly because the council is utterly flabbergasted at his solution to temporarily shoot everyone into the ghost prison dimensionk nown as the Phantom Zone.. and partly because the planet's AI refuses to back him on this and changed the numbers. That AI.. is Braniac.

Superman TAS choose to completely rework Braniac, mostly thanks to co creator Alan Burnett. As Bruce Timm recalled it was burnett's pitch to make him an AI.. and Timm was skeptical as in the comics, Braniac is an alien invader man. He was also a hypnotist once but we all ignore that. But Timm couldn't deny Burnett's brilliant idea: that Braniac here was the AI for all of krypton, it's backbone.. and didn't prevent it's death because it was downloading EVERYTHING. It didn't really NEED Krypton itself and planned to leave, taking everything it was with him.

And honestly.. it's a brilliant concept and works perfectly :Sure he's no longer Colluan.. but it still keeps the heart of the character as a collector of worlds, taking their knowledge.. then destroying them so he can hoard it. The AI part of it makes his cold logic to it more simple: he didn't really evolve emotions like some ais, simply a purpose and a desire and thus dosen't care about the lives lost to get what he wants. When Jor El confronts him... he only gets away because he poitns out if Jor El kills him, Krypton's remains die with the computer.

Jor el sadly can't prove it in time as the death spiral of the planet has begun. He dosen't even have time to evacauate, only to dodge security for one desperate gambit: use the small, multi person spacecraft he planned to use to help migrate the phantom zone projector to send clark there on autopilot. The autopilot was a sneaky way to keep the rocket in good condition, unlike most versions where it's in tact or i'ts soley there to deliver

So Superman would have a spaceship for later adventures. So the parents tearfully part as Tony Jay leads the others away and Braniac and Clark are the only ones to survive krypton.

Part 2 opens with the kents finding the baby and the portrayal of martha here is hilarious. She's just like "The baby likes me we're taking him home and i've already named him" Which is sweet but also is all done as her husband points out some very logical things "He could've been sent up by the us or the russians, we don't know who he belongs to, we shoudl turn him in". It's for the best theyd idn't, don't get me wrong, Martha's heart is in the right place, but she should ask some followup questions.

We have no time for that as we jumpcut to years later. Clark's a teenager and the design for this clark kent REALLY dosen't work on a teenage frame

It does a little but it's clear they didn't QUITE Know how to draw teens just yet. They'd learn, as seen with Kara later on, but it took some time.

Clark has been spacing out lady and his friend Lana Lang asks if he's okay... with the ENTIRELY natural dialouge of "Clark it's me the girl whose had a crush on you since she was three years old". Lana is played here by Kelly Schmidt, who... does her best. I don't want to critcize a child actress.. but it's really stiff and woden and she could've been given better direction.

She sticks out next to clark's actor, Jason Marsden, coming freshly off his star making voice acting role in a Goofy Movie, and soon to be a fixture on Step By Step, his major live action role, who was also young but nails it well. I admit his voice dosen't QUITE fit the character model, but I'm not sure what voice would fit a character model that awkward, so he does his best.

Clark admits to lana he can hear conversations feet away and see through things. Lana just asks how many times he's looked into the girls bathroom. Lana this is a superhero work not porkys. superheroes don't do that

Anymore. What the fuck was that gag.... I swear... anyways Clark hears a car about to have a tire burst and rushes to save it... and then wonders what the fuck IS he and how did he do that.

He confides in his parents who reveal the truth.. well what they know: they found him in a ship and they found a weir dbox with it. Said box shoots a superman signal into clark's brain that reveals holograms of his parents

They explain the basics: he's an alien, distant planet went boom, last survivor that they know aside from his cousin, and his dog and his monkey, all the basics.

Clark takes it poorly saying he's not a freak.. then punching a support beam into splinters. I do like this idea for clark, that he dosen't automatically accept "i'm an alien" as something easy to swallow. It's somethign that takes time to process and MANY a good younger superman story have taken this balla nd ran with it: Superman Earth One, Superman Smashes the Klan and My Adventures with Superman are all good examples of dealing with superman's push and pull between being human and alien, and the latter two cases turn it into an immigrant story and a story about being diffrent respectively and do so brilliantly.

Here they don't really dive into it and honestly the Smallville portion of things feels underbaked in this three act story their telling. Krypton gets a full episode, Metropolis gets one and a half.. but Smallville and Clarks childhood and teen years is compressed into half an episode and while it does a decent job, it feels like they were struggling to cram everything into this space.

How Clark Reconcliles things is nice though.. he jumps.. realizes he can jump long chasms in a single bound and soon flies.. and i'ts the JOY of this that makes him realize while he's not sure HOW he feels about being an alien... it's not all bad. That there is something to it, some piece, some piece of this new side of him that brings him joy. He reunites with his parents and we begin act 3.

The Metropolis Portion like I said takes up about half of the runtime, and while I do feel smallville got short changed as a result I get why: Krypton sets up braniac, one of the series main threats and Metropolis sets up damn near everything else, with a good chunk of the supporting cast and one of the other big bads being introduced, while one of the major pieces of the rogues gallery is also given some small setup for later.

So for the past few weeks Metroplis has had reports of a guardian angel, a mysterious man who has been helping people, most notably saving a small child who fell out of a skyscraper. I'ts nicely set up too, as a human intrest story that pisses lois lane off as her smuggling story got pulled for this "crap".

She's soon has more pressing issues as we meet the daily planet's new staffer, Clark Kent, from Smallville. Lois procedes to respond to him asking if she's been to kansas with a sharp

And is asked to take Clark along to a press confrence on Lex Luthor. She responds by ditching clark as soon as possible by foistering him off on Jimmy. Run clark, run before he can extract your tears!

As you can see Lois and Clark .. don't exactly get off to the best start and this is in line with what the cartoon's taking the most inspiration from: the late 80's reboot by everyone's least faviorite old man yelling at clouds, John Byrne. In the late 80's byrne, fresh from marvel, was tasked with retooling superman: as a result his power set was reduced, and several things were given an overhaul.

One of these was Lois which was mostly for the better: instead of being obessed with superman to early amy rose levels, Lois was a hardnosed military brat who took no one's shit and was often in danger not because she was stupid, but because she was that gutsy and could often get out of it.

As a result her and Clark's Romance was put on the back burner, with him having other love intrests first. Here they split the diffrence: theirs chemistry present and Lois is easily clark's closest friend in both identities, but it's clear their not QUITE as close as they'd get in the comics and never seem to reach that level: they care about each other, but they just aren't together yet and may never get there. Justice League never really gave us any closure.

Lois is portrayed awesomely by Dana Delany, an actress known for China Beach and Desperate Housewives who'd go on to play lois throughout Justice League and Justice League Unimilted after this and is my faviorite in the roll thus far, getting her down as whip smart, no nosense, and hilarious all in one, though Alice Lee's take is a close second.

It works though as it not only lets Lois be her own person, but let's her be bold brash and a bit of a dick: as seen here she isn't the most plesant to work with.. but later gives clark his due when he beats her to the scene and requests a bi line, now getting he's not some clueless newbie, but really sharp.

I also like that Superman TAS dosen't completely short change Clark Kent. Clark.. isn't really diffrent in either identity, something taken from the post crisis/byrne era (he wasn't the only writer) and that's thankfully become the standard. Gone are the days of Clark Kent as a pathetic mask for superman so he can do normal people stuff because shut up. Instead Superman is throughly human and simply wants part of him to be able to live a normal life, while still using his power to help. Clark is witty, helpful and kind in both identities and that's how it should be, with people not finding him simply because most assume he's just... superman 24/7.

Their at a weapons press confrence for Luthor and like everything else, this takes more after post crisis: There Luthor was a captain of industry, the richest man in metropolis who owned most of it and earned his money via his inventions instead of using them to try and conquer the world. He was still a schemer and still did evil shit.. but it was modernized: he kept his schemes on the downlow and used his giant pile of money as a shield from consequences. It was a much needed refresh: Luthor was every bit as dangerous and smart... he was just now a problem superman couldn't punch.

Perfectly playing this version of luthor is Clancy Brown, one of the greatest voice actors ever and one of the most decorated, with plenty of live action work such as his breakout roll in highlander to also sweeten the pot. The man's an icon and THE lex luthor for me. Unlike Clark it's not even REMOTELY close. No other luthor thus far has perfectly matched him. He's THE Luthor, the guy to play him and gets him perfectly. the ego, the facade of friendlness, the thinly veiled threats. He was and still is my lex luthor.

Luthor is unveling a prototype, but soon terrioists hyjack it because it's the mid 90's and that isn't as horrifying as it would be soon. We get a great shot of Clark ducking away and doing the iconic undoing his shirt thing, and thus superman leaps into actoin. He does his best and mostly saves the day, but ultimately the head terroist, John Corbin, shoots a plane an dpart 2 ends as the plane goes down

Part 3 begins as it goes up up and away as superman grabs it in a great sequence where he then helps land it, struggling all the way, a nice way to set him up.. and make it so Clark can no longer keep his other self secret. Superman is out to the world and gloriously so, as Clark finds out when Perry dubs the guy this while Lois is curious.l.. mostly due to his "nice s"

So Clark confides in Ma and Pa, with Ma having been keeping clippings of his exploits, a nod to said Byrne run, and both encouraging him. Clark worries this is the end of him but Pa encourages him "Your clark kent. Superman is jsut a part of you". A perfect incapuslation of who clark is and the anthethesis to captain "i'll kill myself with a tornado so you don't out yourself as a freak son".

Clark does decide to answer some questions by giving lois an interview.. and does so by lifting her car into the air. Maybe it's because he likeeees her, maybe it's because he trusts her, my guess

And tells her he's an alien which she has trouble buying. Keep in mind batman at this point has had a man made of clay and they outright refrence batman.. but I do kinda get it as while batman's had demons and man bats, it hasn't quite got to aliens YET. She still agrees, though can't get him to spill all his secrets, and I like the touch that she DOES get he probably has another identity as he's not around 24/7.

With this Clark and Lois pay a visit to lex.. and Clark once again impresses her this time by pressing lex, not directly implying anything.. but by pointing out some facts: the war suit he made behing heisted means the government will want more, and better since Kanznia now has one, and that he stands to mak ea lot... heavily implying he let them take it. Luthor is pissed, and Lois.. is shocked. He's only the second person to piss Lex off that much. The first was her when she dumped his ass, another nod to the byrne run and something thankfully glossed over here and it fits: Their both smart and tenacious, but Luthor lacks a soul.. and his penis is presumibly concave

Clark backs up his statment too as it might be MORE than just Luthor defrauding the us government: he saw some old photos on file of luthor.. with the head of Kanznia, a fictional country the government recently stopped sale with, but Luthor seems close with.. and in one of the pictures is the head terrorist john corbin.

Clark here is played by Tim Daly, star of Wings and Private Practice and one of the best supermen ther'es ever been. Ther'es just a nice warmth to his performance copuled with a lot of charm. It's subdued, but in a way that conveys a lot of emotoins at once. Clarks' a calm collected guy, but you can always tell how he feels and when he's pissed you can feel it, as you shoudl when someone this nice is honked off.

Lois goes off to find a source, her old friend Bibo. Bibo is a longtime supporting character from the superman comics. Bibbo is a sailor, dockworker and loveable sailin man whose a massive fan of superman and will help his hero when asked. He's mostly comic relief but he's loveable as hell anytime he shows up which is often as no matter the run, writers really love this guy and I can't blame them. Here he's played by sitcom star and my boy Brad Garret, who does a phenominal job. He'll also later guest star as the main man lobo and do a great job there too.

Bibbos been dealing with a ship tha'ts been pissing him off, so far so normal, because it won't hire anyone union, and is shady as hell. Lois tries to sneak on and is let on by the captain, played my Malcom Mcdowel, neither of which is a red flag. Turns out he was just baiting her til lthey could get out to port and then get out to interinational waters to unalive her for snooping. Seriously lois at least pack some bear mace or a crotch seeking purse dog.

Thankfully she has the best crotch seeking purse dog in superman, as clark figured out she was in danger, zoomed off from having to deal with jimmy and clears the boat. Head Terroist John Corbin flees in the battle suit and we get a drawn out fight sequence as the two lock horns. It's decent, and shows off that this superman isn't super invunerable: miniguns affect him, and it keeps the fights fair. The writers admit he was as weak or strong as they needed to be and it works as Clark is both new at fighting threats on his level, and that power scaling really isn't important when he's the main focus: it keeps the tension up to where needed and he has a more consitent power scale in Justice League when stacked up against others.

Superman saves the day and I love his final line to corben"Want to try another round without th esuit?"

Superman wins ..... and naturally luthor is pissed, as the represnative from Kaznia wants thie rmoney back as they never got their delivery. then gets to get out of haggling as superman is hovering angrily outside Luthor's tower.

The following scene.. is my favorite in the pilot. Luthor rants to superman, figuring he figured out his scheme but can't prove it and Brown delivers the monologue perfectly pointing out he owns 2/3 of the city, and some of them don't even know it. Superman can prove nothing.. and all while superman just GLARES at him, not giving luthor the satisfaction of responding till luthor finally snaps

"SAY SOMETHING!" "I'll be watching Luthor"

It's the perfect incaptulation of their relationship: Luthor has all this power.. but ultimately.. superman disrputs all that. he's outside the systems that let's corrupt billionare jackoffs like luthor get away with their shit. In Real Life Luthor probably would've pulled off his scheme. Here.. superman is there to hold him acountable, to ruin it, to cost luthor billions.. and to watch him. He'll be there again and again till Luthor is finally stopped.. and true to his word.. he is. He's there again and again: he's the one who finally takes Luthor down over in justice league, and does so multiple times. He'll always be there to help us with threats we can't face.. and sometimes that's something embedded in the system. It's a brilliant update of his leftist routes and I support it wholeheartedly.

So we end with superman flying away to an adoring crowd.. while on a disatant ship two aliens are slaughtered..as braniac uploads himself.

Last Son of Krypton is a solid pilot, deftly setting up everything for the series, and setting the tone briliantly: the threats won't be gone as easy, the stakes are slightly bigger, the hero is sightly bigger.. but he's ultimately still human. A truly great set of episodes that unlike far too damn many cartoons is still on max if your curious. Truly worth your time

Next Time: We finish Supermay! with style as we revisit superman's FIRST superteam in their first and only series, it's time to meet the legion of superheroes.
