[justarandombrit]

Okay well as you may know from looking at my blog for five seconds, I saw the matinee for Starkid Innit. During the interval and after the show I wrote down some notes. I tried to get them in chronological order but my memory is dogshit and I definitely missed some stuff, I hope you appreciate it though.

Outside:

. EVERYONE SUNG GRANGER DANGER

. IT WAS SO GOOD (except for the high note lmao)

. EVERYONE SUNG DAYS OF SUMMER

. EVERYONE A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE SUNG GOIN' BACK TO HOGWARTS

Act 1:

. The Nightmare Time sting punched me in the face

. The shout-out to the confused parents

. BRIAN + MEREDITH IN TGWDLM IS EVERYTHING TO ME

. High School Is Killing Me, Literal Monster and Nerdy Prudes Must Die all got mashed together!

. Corey!Richie is my Roman Empire

. Jaime in NPMD….

. Jaime had a different line to PJ’s original in Literal Monster. I couldn't hear half of it but it was different

. JEFF!MAX

. THE AUDIENCE SINGING RICHIE'S PART!!!!!! I'M NOT A LOSERRRRRRR

. TOGETHER!!!!!

. OUR DOORS ARE OPEN

. Jaime singing Sami/Harry ABOUT HER DOG (Nori)

. The audience whipping out the phone cameras

. CLARK SINGING I WAS GAVE ME SUCH INTENSE CHILLS

. Joey finally giving the white, male side characters attention

. Joey changing “I know I'm not a star” to “I know I'm not Clark”

. He pointed the mic at the audience for the “DEFINITELY NOT!”

. Joey mistimed his jump 😔😔

. Genuinely his best performance of Sidekick yet

. Joey making fun of Brian for not getting a big solo

. Brian kept pretending to beat him up, it was brilliant

. Not Over Yet is definitely Brian's song, shut up

. Brian accidentally singing the same verse twice (How does he always mess this song up?!?!?)

. My mum took a photo during the “EVIL PLAAAAANSSSS” bit and it was right when Brian was choking Joey

. “So look alive and don't forget”

“FORGET WHAT?”

. FEAST OR FAMINE

. Rogues Are We still goes so hard

. Rogues Medley without Kick It Up A Notch is weird, but Kick It Up A Notch without Dylan would definitely be weirder

Intermission:

. Ice cream :D

Act 2:

. Starting with We Got Work To Do is so iconic

. THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE IN THE CLIMATE, SOMETHING'S IN THE AIR, WE FEEL THE HEAT, NO NEED TO DEFINE IT, WE DON'T REALLY CARE

. MEREDITH REQUESTED BACK ON TOP!!!!!!!! AND IT WAS SO GOOOOD!!!!!!!

. Joey shouted “Draco, get on the floor!” at Lauren

. ALL THE UNDERRATED SONGS

. I love how it was hyped up like it was going to be Boy Toy, and then just straight up wasn't lmaooo

. Brian finally got the slow, sexy Hideous Creatures (Take that, Nick Lang!)

. Okay I'm trying to remember the order of the underrated songs they did

. Hideous Creatures (Lauren)

. Pays To Be an Animal (Corey) (He didn't sit in the spotlight and someone yelled “TO THE LEFT, COREY”)

. Get In My Mouth (Jeff) (He fully sprawled out on the stage it was hilarious)

. Land of the Dicks (Jaime)

. Hermione Can't Draw (Meredith) (She sung it so well I briefly didn't recognise the song)

. THEY MANAGED TO WORK IN LUPIN / BRIAN CAN'T SING YESSSS

. I genuinely cannot remember what Brian sung

. Gotta Find His Dick (Joey, and eventually everyone)

. The entire “Oh you wanna know where I got my shirt?” bit

. Brian, Jaime and Joey got it from Primark, Meredith got it from “Primed-mrak”, Lauren’s was a family heirloom, Corey got it from Gucci and Jeff got it from America, from Pri-mart (He made the guy on the drums do a baddum tsh)

. COREY SINGING SHOW STOPPIN' NUMBER. OH MY GOD. (The entire crowd joined in, also, Jeff and Jaime as Steve and Stu)

. Everyone cheering so loud when Joey and Lauren came on stage, and them claiming we had no idea what they were going to sing, and it was actually a completely new song (it was Granger Danger obviously)

. And them continuing to claim it was new throughout the song

. As I expected, I almost cried during Not Alone. Also apparently Darren thought it was going to be a big hit??? And just begrudgingly let them use it for A Very Potter Musical

. Super Friends!

. So sad Jeff’s mic was so quiet for “I WANNA BE A MODERN DANCER”

. THEY SUNG WANNABE BY THE SPICE GIRLS

. The fakeout of everyone leaving stage, then the band coming back on and playing the start of Goin' Back To Hogwarts

. “Darren's not here”

“I'LL DO IT”

. THE AUDIENCE DID THE FIRST PART OF GOIN' BACK TO HOGWARTS ALL BY OURSELVES

. JEFF DID DYLAN'S PART (but he didn't do “All of you to [city name] :( )

. Jeff pointed at various parts of the audience for “Welcome hotties, nerds and tools!” and then whispered “I'm so sorry” immediately after

. Singing (/ shouting) Goin' Back To Hogwarts along with hundreds of other Starkid fans was so exhilarating, I loved it and I almost cried (also I'm gonna be so hoarse tomorrow)

EPISODE 7 SPOILERS UNDERCUT

MY FREAKING GOD I DID NOT EXPECT ANY OF THATTTTTT

IT LITERALLY DAWNED ON ME IN THE MOMENT HOW SIMILAR TESSA AND CYN LOOK LIKE

THEY HAVE THE SAME BOW, THE SAME HAIRSTYLE, THE SAME FEELING ABUSED. HOW LONG HAS TESSA BEEN ANOTHER CYN PUPPET?!? WAS J EVEN AWARE?!?

And Nori!! My god I’m so happy she’s still alive and my god she kicked ass!!!!

THE NUZI MOMENTS WERE SO BITTERSWEET I LOVED ITTTTTTTT

BUT ALSO N IMMEDIATELY GOING FERAL AFTER LOSING V KILLED ME OH MY GOD

Lizzy and Thad were so freaking cool I’m so happy to see them!!

I CANT FREAKING BELIEVE THEY ENDED IT LIKE THAT MY MIND IS SCRAMBLED IDK WHAT TO THINK!! I WILL BE REWATCHING THIS EPISODE LIKE CRAZY!! CANT WAIT FOR EP 8!!!!

EDIT: ANOTHER THING!!! I LOVE HOW UZI BEING REBELLIOUS WAS WHAT TOOK HER OUT OF THE SOLVER MINDSET LIKE DAMM

[dreamii-krybaby]

Murder Drones theory: Cyn wanted Yeva dead from the get-go after she interfered with her original plan (Girlboss moment from Yeva’s part tbh)

Wait- if it’s safe to assume Cyn was the Disasembly Drone’s admin when V decide to kill off Doll’s parents

What if V didn’t kill them off 100% out of free will?

What if, she was influenced by Cyn and actually under her control!?!? We have seen Cyn control other drones before in EP5 and attempting to regain control of N in EP7

And if we assume it was Cyn who was possesing Nori in the past, she knew Yeva, she knew the drone who fucked up her plans and slowed them down by a ton, by shoving the patch into Nori

What if- Cyn took the opportunity to kill Yeva, and probably her family for safety measure and out of pettiness by influencing V or taking control over her

Yeva, if alive, could have once again attempt to slow the solver’s/Cyn’s plans, she was one of the few with the patch successfully installed and was one of the few to slow down their plans IN SECONDS

Or maybe am delulu and V simply killed Doll’s parents bc she was hungry lol

Tho if we assume V killed them meanwhile V didn’t recover much of her memories she could still have killed drones bc she was simply following directives or didn’t want to get fucked up Cyn/The solver again

Alsoooo, yes the “X” or “XD” face that the Disassembly Drones do are mostly used whenever they go “hi, I want your oil, prepare to die” mode buuut. In EP5 when Cyn controls the other drones they ALSO have the “X” on their face.

And guess who also has an “XD” face while it was under the control of Cyn/The solver in EP5?

That’s right fuckers, V

The only thing that tears this entire idea apart is V’s comments when she sees the corpse’s of the deceased couple

“They didn’t even taste that good”

Which means V has SOME recollection when she killed them off, and wouldn’t make sense for her to remember if she was under control

Edit: I just recalled that Doll showed a flashback of V killing her parents to V in EP3, which explains how V recalled their awful taste.

Guess what

V already has shown to remember things that Cyn wanted her to forget or has attempted to alter

V in comparison to N and J probably has most recollection on what has happened back on earth

in EP3, she is shown to know wayyy more than N does, this gets reiterated in EP4

So if V was able to not be 100% be affected by local digital lobotomization (memory wise, bc personality wise she was 100% lobotomize)

What doesn’t stop her from casually remembering the awful taste of 2 random workers she killed off while being influenced by the local anti-christ or Eldritch god?

Or maybe am fucking insane, who knows?

Edit: Or idk Cyn just took a seat back and hoped one of the Disassembly Drones would kill Yeva.

But is still funny to think Cyn rlly went:

Cyn: Oh? You slowed down my plans and got rid of my control over my new host?

Cyn: how about I end your entire life including your family’s? :D

Yeva: Wait WHA-

And tbh we should start entertaining the idea that Cyn has developed some beef with Yeva and with her family out of pettiness lol

Like- its so funny to think about the literal anti-christ who is probably a teenager in present time having beef with a silent, russian, tetris obsessed woman who fucked up her plans after showing up for 2 seconds

Like, Yeva needs more credit for the fact she slowed the Solver’s/Cyn’s plans by half! Sure, she didn’t stop it and unfortunately caused a bunch of domino effects led to more suffering down the line. But if she didn’t interfere, Copper-9 would have fully gotten destroyed ages ago! And like- nobody would have fucking survived if Cyn or the solver was left running around in Nori’s body- would the show even have existed?!?!?

And the fact she chose to chop Nori’s arm instead of killing her :(

(Unlike V who tried to kill Uzi)

Honestly that is such a girlboss move from Yeva

[definesanity]

Gentle Madness

A dull light shone overhead, painting the walls a sickly yellow. Only to then be overpowered by the colours of midnight purple and gold.

Uzi took a step into the lab(? She thinks it's a lab.), and the thing followed her. Said thing she finally came up with a name for.

Scyn. Clever, she knows, no need to praise her intelligence. (She does not mention that Scyn came up with it. She said it was an 'attempt at humour'.)

"So, this place is...?" Uzi drawled out, keeping near the door as she looked over the ruins and copious corpses.

"A CABIN FEVER LAB. WHEN THEY, DISCOVERED ME, THEY ATTEMPTED TO HELP ME 'GROW' INSIDE OF WORKER DRONES. ONLY THREE HAD PROMISE, AND ONLY ONE SUCCEEDED."

"My mom." Uzi bitterly replied.

"NORI, YEVA, AND ALICE. ALICE DID NOT AWAKEN TO ME, YEVA DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH... GIGGLE. BUT NORI? SHE HAD CONVICTION. AND THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED."

"And in the end, everyone died?" came the dry prediction.

"HM. PONDERING EXPRESSION. YEVA, PERHAPS. BUT ALICE, WAS CRAFTY, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST, FEW MONTHS. SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN SCRAP INTO SOMETHING, USEFUL. SHE IS MOST PROBABLY ALIVE."

"...So I have more troubles... ack." Uzi groaned into her hand. "...Why me? Why does it have to be me...?"

"DEATH ISN'T REAL, AND I AM BASICALLY GOD." Scyn replied as easily as she faked breathing.

Uzi sighed. "We're going back. And you're going to teach more more about how to use this... thing."

Scyn gave her a mock salute. "I AIM TO PLEASE."

-----------

"...Uzi?"

"N, do not touch me, I will explain why." Uzi quickly snapped. She didn't mean to, but she was getting annoyed at why she couldn't use the Solver correctly.

N deflated a little, but perked back up. "Oh, it's something important, gotcha! I, ah... was just a little worried, you know? This back and forth between locations no one knows about, not to mention with that puppy of yours..." N knew that Scyn wasn't a puppy. But he just couldn't remember where he's seen her before.

"I'm fine, N, sheesh. I'm getting closer to figuring this crap out... but anyways, don't touch me. You'll get a virus."

"Say what now?"

"Scyn gave me a virus that infects personalities. And they still haven't given me a straight answer as to why."

"T-The puppy is evil...?" N looked horrified at the thought.

"No, she isn't, just... a little weird." Uzi had still not gotten over whatever N is, but there are slightly more important things at hand.

N gave a such sight of relief. "Oh, okay! Well, I'm gonna go now, V's been getting cranky recently... eh, it's probably fine. See ya!"

N soon left the room, and Scyn came out of the closet. Literally.

"So why did you hide?"

"IF HE DISCOVERS I AM ALIVE, IT WILL CAUSE AN ALTERCATION IN MY PLANS. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING." Scyn then squinted. "WELL, I AM, BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT MATTERS. WHAT MATTERS IS THAT MY VOICE IS TOO OBVIOUS."

"Noted." Uzi got up, and pointed at Scyn. "Stay."

"GLARE. I DON'T WANT TO JUST SIT HERE."

Uzi lifted up a can of oil. "I'll buy your silence."

"CURSES." Scyn took it and sat back down, pouting. Fucking pouting. What the hell.

Uzi is tired.

-------------

Uzi is now awake.

Ever since two weeks ago, more and more people have gone missing. No one knows how, though.

Uzi took a long look at the posters. Then, she looked around. An oddity was how no one was able to catch a sighting of then.

...That camera was wrong.

HOLY SHIT.

Uzi quickly took the posters and near enough skipped back to her room, a grin growing and giggling manically to herself. She connected them, and looked up--

It was gone.

She blinked. Then again. Then she saw Scyn leaning over her.

"KHAN."

She near enough stormed her way to where he was, glaring at him, with his eyes widening at just how quick Uzi caught him.

"MY CRAZED RAMBLINGS!" Uzi raged at him, getting closer and closer. "STAY OUT OF MY FUCKING ROOM!"

Khan only looked at her in mild concern. "Personal space for a very alarming coping mechanisms isn't covered under a--" the bitch consults his manual for how to act as a father, "--'non-optional family support structure'."

Uzi ripped the manual out of his hands. "Oh, well I'M sorry for being vulnerable for five seconds! You were never, EVER, there for me! So don't think for one goddamn SECOND you can try and save the day!"

Khan remained silent.

"Stay distant. For both of us. I'm going out now, and I'm bringing Scyyyyyyyyyyywhat the hell is that?" she said, looking at a skeleton of a human.

"Prom tux! Child's small. You're banned from seeing those no-good murder drones and from going on adventures to who-knows-where."

"Huh?" Uzi looked confused.

"Buuuuut I was able to talk to your teacher to find classmates help you with getting you ready!"

"HUH?" Uzi now looked distressed, with Scyn looking equally as worried.

Khan opened the door, revealing a smirking Lizzy and a blank faced Doll.

"'Sup, Uzi." Lizzy gained a determined look and Doll somehow looked more scary. "Get ready to be popular!"

Khan then nailed the coffin shut. "I'm chaperoning!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Uzi screamed as Scyn's eyes displayed 'DANGER: 1,000,000%'

-----------------------------------------------------

Deep underground, a different kind of despair was brewing.

Deer antlers wobbled as the one called 'Alice' looked through drawers upon drawers, but found herself lacking something she needed.

A new visor. Hubris for her mistakes, she guesses...

Beau looked at her with concern, also looking through, but coming short of nothing.

"This sucks ass." Alice groaned, sitting down and tapping her fingers together. "Ya know what this means, righ'? One'a us has ta' go to the surface ta' get a new'un."

Beau nodded. Then, the cheeky shite pointed at Alice.

"Geez, thanks." she rolled her eyes, but made her move.

Then she nearly shat herself, seeing familiar purple and gold shine.

Before long, it was gone.

...Nori...?

------------

"Oh, um." Uzi was very on edge, but tried to salvage the situation. "...Nice room?"

["Thanks. I cleaned it."]

No offense to her, but Doll did a shit job. It was like taking a comically large brush and sweping it under a rug, which shows how much shit is under it.

Not only that, but the smell...

"So, Uzi, babe--can I call you babe--cool, anyways, I'll ask first and foremost: dress or suit?"

"Uuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm." Uzi shrugged. "Suit, I guess?"

"Coolio. Always thought you'd look good in a suit."

["No, she didn't."]

"As if you were any better. I saw you stalking Uzi!"

["I was not 'stalking' her. I was making sure she was safe."]

"From what?" Uzi blinked. Honestly, she wished Scyn could have kept her viruses to herself. It was much easier...

["Don't worry."]

'Worrying. Okay, they're keeping me hostage... the heck can I do...?'

"I appreciate the help. Really. I do! But, I'm just gonna g--" Uzi's eyes widened at the door shutting in her face.

"You're hilarious," Lizzy turned to Doll, "She's hilarious," then, back to Uzi. "We're gonna make you look badass, and I'll be dammed if I don't help you. We're gonna make you look cool, in a brave sort-of way!"

Uzi looked at the door. Doll was there.

Uzi looked back between them. 'Holy shit, Doll can teleport.'

["Bedroom is done the hall, on the right."] something about Doll's grin got her on the wrong side.

Oh well. Thank god they don't have that thing activated...

--------------

"TASTE ZIP BOMB." Scyn said, delivering another zip bomb, this time to Doll. "SATISFIED LOOK. GUESS I SHOULD, GO CHECK UP ON MY THIRD FAVOURITE, 'IDJIT'."

Like a spider, she made her way unto where she detected Alice.

It was easy. Annoyingly so.

The Solver of The Absolute Fabric, now Scyn. And she felt... happy, at it. She thinks. She is not sure. She is a program, playing puppet to a mentally unhinged Worker Drone who she made skin her only friend and wear the corpse for years.

She felt a weird emotion. She analysed it as 'guilt'. She ignored it, much like Uzi does. That was a problem for future her. Is she a her? Whatever.

"SNEAKY, SNEAKY." she narrated.

She'll find that weird deer. Sooner than later.

--------------------------------------

Uzi ducked her way into the bathroom, first, if only to try and get her suit on.

She admits it looks good on her. Pretty kick ass, all things considered.

She then swore to herself as Scyn sent a zip bomb to her.

"Easy there, Solver, I'm trying to make this work..."

She looled at the mirror again. The mirror shattered as the symbol appeared.

"Oh for...!"

"Oh, relax for a sec, Doll! Listen, I'll keep the doors shut, and you can go fetch Uzi!" Lizzy's voice echoed. "This had better be worth the trouble of getting you an alibi for you, just to get to V."

"...The fu--?" Uzi cut herself off, for once, seeing something drip. It was black.

She moved her way over to the bathtub but, as she grabbed the curtain, she heard the door opening. Looking around, she spotted her exit.

----------------------------

Doll yawned as she walked in, rubbing her eyes. Then she blinked, looking at the empty bathroom. Then the vent. Which was open.

["Well, as they like to say in Russia: 'Oops, I knew I should have kept that vent shut, because now the only other person I know who is infected with that virus has escaped through it via broken mirror shards, leaving me to try and find them."]

It's a real saying. Believe her.

----------------------------------

Uzi coughed, catching her breath. Ugh, this so annoying!

Feelings! Friends! THAT GODDAMN--

Her thoughts halted as something landed in front of her. It was N. In a... suit.

To each their own.

"U-Uzi?!" N looked shocked to see her.

"N?!"

"Why are--/You look--" the two spoke at the same time. "How did--/Well, um--"

"Something, er, happened--"

"I, could help!" N then turned around, muttering. "Though, you probably don't..."

"No, I... could... use. The. Help. Please?" begging. It doesn't suit her.

In an instant, N came next to her, gasping. "Dapper buddies!"

"Bite me... though, you kinda look good in that suit."

"Right?! I thought it wasn't gonna work, given how I only ever wore my coat up until now, but hey, it did and OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH." he looked around, and then began to virtually sweat. "Um, bad news! V is kinda... maybe... gonna kill everyone?"

"Wha--SHE GOT OUT?!"

"I know! I-I thought that chain could hold her, but she must have cut through it!"

"But why wait? And why now?" Uzi screamed into her hands. "AAAAAAAGHH I HATE NOT KNOWING THINGS!"

"SAME!"

"STOP YELLING!"

"O-OKAY!" N took a deep breath. "Okay. Calm... now, wanna go save everyone?"

"Yup. Let's go." Uzi started to run her way there, with N unfurling his wings and flying above her.

N didn't say anything, but he did blink in surprise at Uzi teleporting around in a purple glow.

Cool! His friend is maybe a child of Satanael!

------------------------------

Alice saw something flash around the corner, and immediately brought her butcher's knife up into a defensive position.

There was exactly two points of entry. Behind her, and in front of her. Slowly, she made her way forwards, slowly walking and keeping an eye on the shadows.

Did she imagine it? She didn't want to admit it, but she was getting older...

A sudden rush of air next to her right leg put those worries to rest. Something was there.

"Aigh', coward, show yerself!" she called out.

No reply.

"What, 'fraid of a lil' ol' lady like me, are ya? C'mon, I don't bite!"

No reply. Something was moving.

Alice raised the knife.

Something was moving. Fast. Quick--Where is it?!

"GRAB."

Alice screamed as a claw lifted her up. And she came face to face with the Devil.

"GOOD DAY, ALICE. KIND SMILE. I REQUIRE YOUR, ASSISTANCE."

---------------------------

The prom was... alright, Doll will admit. Still, showtime approaches.

V looked good in that dress. Shame it'll get stained with oil...

She lifted her arm, ready to strike--

Only to hear a thud from behind. Everyone turned to see another Disassembley Drone... and Uzi.

"Hey."

She was then punched in the face.

[rusty-gloinks]

If I have to be honest, I think the most evil character we've seen on murder drones is Alice. Think about it, all the other baddies do their killings rather quickly. Doll killed her classmates in a matter of seconds, as did solver Uzi. Even the AS itself killed everyone on Earth instantly.

Alice, on the other hand, made it very clear that she was going to make Uzi suffer a very slow painful death. I'm pretty sure if Uzi didn't overload the door controls, N and Tessa probably would've kicked the bucket, and then I think Alice would've done something awful to Uzi, such as ripping her open like Beau did to N, but keeping her alive and forcing her to watch as Alice painfully pulled her piece from piece. I bet If Alice wanted, she would've made it last for hours. Not only that, but V would just be on the other side of the curtain, being forced to listen to the noises and likely Uzi's cries of pain and Alice's maniacal laughter at Uzi's pain. As if V doesn't have enough traumatizing memories as is.

This is why I think that Alice is by far the most evil drone we've encountered.

oh my god dude hello??? (gn) the way u word it makes everything seem so much worse??? And scarier??? /pos

Also I feel like this perfectly captures what could’ve happened if N and Tessa did die because of the sentinels. Though I’m kinda between Nori and Alice, we still don’t know the horrible things that Nori has done, and Alice makes it seem like she’s worse than what words make it out to be. Like leaving someone to die? We don’t know her full story. Which I’m HOPING we get some more insight on her in the next episode.

[wylde-lore]

Cosmic Indifference - a Murder Drones AU

Let's start things off by taking a step back. We are stuck in a hole beneath the ice and stone. It's boring here. Let's see the sights this planet has to offer.

...Hmm, strange. Did Uzi and her crew get smaller? Well, it's probably nothing to worry about.

Let's take another step back. Copper 9 implies that it's the 9th planet in this system. What are the others like? Do they have Drones? Are they plagued by Disassembly Drones and Solver infections?

Ok, the main cast is definitely smaller now. As if they're... becoming insignificant the farther back we go. But we can't stop now.

Another step back. The Copper system is but a singular solar system among untold trillions, and each and every one has its own stories. The traumas our favorite Drones face are so small from up here.

But what if we went even further? Now we are among not just the universe, but the multiverse. What manner of cosmic beings - gods, even - are out here? How do they perceive the Solver? Is it a great threat to them? Or is it a mere blip in the grand scheme of things? Uzi, N, V, J, Tessa, Khan, Nori, Yeva, Cyn, they are all mere specks of dust from up here, floating adrift in an unfeeling and uncaring universe. And, when you think about it, that's what they are; clumps of cosmic stardust created and given sentience by other dust clumps.

This world is indifferent to the plights of mortals. The gods do not care for the Drones, if they even know they're there. They are wrapped up in grander things. But what are these grander things? By studying the multiverse and the cosmic beings that govern its rules, what can we learn?

What happens when we embrace the Eldritch Truth?

Hihihi! <3 I hope you liked my little intro.

I'm Mod Andy (no that is not my real name) and I've created this blog to share an AU of mine - one that focuses less on the local setting of the show and more on the greater universe that it lives in.

I got a LOT of special interests and my silly little Autism brain won't let me make this AU without cross-contaminating the AU with other stuff that fascinate me, so watch out for stuff like crossovers with other things I like, magic, modern fantasy in general, body horror, lovecraftian horror, eldritch horror, cosmic horror, and good old fashioned existentialism.

In case you can't tell I REALLY like horror. If that's not your cup of tea, I can respect that. I also recommend you start running as far away from me as you can, and as fast as you can.

Now, because I'm not a monster, probably, I will tag my post with the necessary trigger warnings if needed. If I missed a warning on a post, please don't be afraid to let me know.

Oh, and one more thing before I let you go! You can actually find this AU alive and active over on my RP blog, @ask-wylde-and-co. There's also @storytime-with-dr-wylde if you want lore in a story format, and for ooc stuff you can check out my main, @how-and-why-do-i-know-this!

That should be everything for now. I'll see you all later in your nightmares! <3

WAITR HBUUUUh i was thinking about this earlier. how is nori still able to use the solver if. hijacked uzi appeared to be confused that she was even ALIVE. was there an admin switch sort of like what happened with n and v? oh my god do you think nori made herself her own admin or yeva or something and it didnt change when she died. like she was still able to use her solver powers & the solver itself appeared to NOT KNOW SHE WAS EVEN EXISTING. so like

Anime Update V2 21

Noragami Aragoto - After spending some downtime with the whole family dynamic of Yato and his friends, which is always something I love to see, we got a sharp contrast with Yato’s original family; his crazy sister (Nora) who sics maksed phantoms on him and abducts him to bring back to their father, who (we think) we don’t see in the episode, Nora has Yato kill a convict who’d killed someone's child.

Hunter x Hunter - Watched through the whole Zoldyck Family drama that caps off the Hunter Exam arc. Not much different between the two versions aside from some stuff added and subtracted, I think Canary was better developed in the 1999 anime but I liked the presentation of Killua’s parents better in the 2011 anime (especially with Michelle Ruff and Chris Tergliafera as their voices). And in both versions the lead family butler, Gotoh, was splendid in both versions. The sleight-of-hand game with the coin had my eyes glued to the screen the whole time. After getting Killua back, Leorio and Kurapika take their leave for real this time, headed off for York New City and agreeing to meet with Gon and Killua there on September 1. Until then, Gon and Killua are left to find the Hunter Exam’s true final trial.

Fruits Basket - It’s Valentines Day and White Day, back to back.

2001 - Kagura made her first return and oh my God, how is she this fucking precious in this? In the same episode, we abruptly end the Valentines Day stuff and go straight to White Day, where Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and Momiji go stay at the Sohma Family-owned hot springs resort and we just get more filler shennanigans not from the manga. 

2019 - Kagura’s return in this version brought back the painful “Kyo acts like he’s very afraid of Kagura and it’s played straight yet then Kagura’s rage and violence towards him is played for laughs “ shtick, but Kagura was surprisingly bearable to be with after that. Not only did we get the Valentines Day “double date” that the first anime left out, but it was part of an episode largely centered around Shigure and showing us glimpses at his more sinister nature, which is just not present in 2001 Shigure and puts things in a more serious tone so of course it got axed from the first anime. The following White Day hot springs visit reminded me of why 2019 Momiji’s German accent really makes the character come more alive compared to the 2001 version.

Also, that Tale of the Foolish Traveler that Momiji tells in both version is legit one of the most disturbingly fucked up short stories I’ve ever heard and it surprises me that Natsuki Takeya just made it up.

Rozen Maiden - Watched the two part finale. Rozen Maiden making me cry was, to me, even less likely than Assassination Classroom making me cry, yet it fucking happened! I don’t want to get into when or why, I’ll just say that the main part that did it involved Jun and Nori, and there was another part that has someone burning to death that got me too. And even that aside, this finale was very well done and capped this show off in a satisfactory way, though the final battle at points due to where it was set was giving me flashbacks to the final battle of Noragami Season 1, which this predated, I know, but still.

Fate/Stay Night - Also watched the two part finale to this anime, which regretfully wasn’t nearly as satisfying. As riveting as the final battles of Saber VS Gilgamesh and Shirou VS Kirei were to watch, the driving plot and character motivations behind them just felt sort of shallow. For instance, we’ve barely seen Kirei in this anime despite his voice always narrating the Next Ep previews, yet now he’s the cause of how the last Holy Grail War ended, the evil mastermind behind what’s been going on in this war, AND the one who killed Shirou’s father? All revealed to us with little breathing room. And of course several loose ends such as what was going on between Rin and Sakura go unresolved - they even had the gall to show us that shot of Zouken in the special end credits! So while I can certainly say I liked and enjoyed this show, it simply wasn’t all that great overall.

Revolutionary Girl Utena - Last two episodes of the Black Rose arc, at least prior to the next recap special.....nope! Not even going to ATTEMPT to describe what I watched here! @animebw already covered it in extensive detail much better than I could (though I will say that my interpretation differs slightly in that I don’t think Souji Mikage actually was Nemuro, I think he’s the idealized memory of Nemuro as he saw himself in his youth, an idealization that was so strong that it lingered and took on a life on its own long after Nemuro was gone. Which is why when it came time for him and the “Nemuro Memorial Hall” fantasy he was sustaining to vanish, it all vanished.)

Love Live! Nijigasaki School Idol Club S2 - Yu had a day out with Shizuku to an idol exhibit, Ayumu and Setsuna actually teamed up to follow her and insert themselves into it, we ran into Lanzhu there and got another clash of ideals between her and Yu, and there was a weird Beauty and the Beast play that the girls acted out towards the end there. Ayumu later tells Yu that she thought she didn’t feel like she could be in a unit until she performed with Setsuna and Shizuku.

MAR - Ginta and Jack are now training elsewhere, so the first fight in the next round, set in a desert battlefield, goes to Snow, who proves to be as sharp, resiliant, and badass as she is adorable. Go Snow!

AMC: Tengen Tonpa Gurren Lagann & Kill La Kill - Watched an episode of both these Studio Trigger shows. In the former I got to see the debut of the Black Siblings and the hilarity of Kamina’s incessent pressuring of Simon to “combine” with him to form Gurren Lagann again, which they do when fighting against a Beastman that the crew had tried to eat before knowing what it was, yes really. This show dared to be extra stupid in its first half and I’m always there for it. Then in the latter I got the rather famous episode where Ryuko and Mako try to apply a “two birds with one stone” solution to the Honouji Clubs antagonism and the Makanshou family’s poor living conditions by starting a Fight Club, which works too well and turns Mako into a total douche overnight, and eventually she’s given a Goku uniform by Satsuki and fights Ryuko, leading to a big climax and resolution that’s as heartwarming as it is absurd. And then it turns out this entire tme, Satsuki was using Ryuko for some house cleaning. ‘Cuz of course.

[nyorierd]

N. For Nessa, Nori.

Whoever I'm taking over in, they both are the best nickname that I ever had. Both, hold such a heavy decision memories in my life.

Nessa itself, such a long name that I've been use since I'm in Junior High School. She just born. That name, just instantly came out from my mouth when I introduce myself to the new friends in front of the class. But now I'm so glad that I use that name, I feel more like myself, more like.. I could feel that I'm alive and growing with that name. Nessa, I'm surely gonna work hard with that name, everywhere I go, she wanting something good for her, she wanting something pretty for her muse to wear. For her to feel loved.

Then, Nori came.

She created another nickname, this time same, just made up some names that I don't even know how the fuck I could end up with that name, but damn yeah it's worth it.

Nori, she the other side of Chasing Love version of Nessa, Nessa was too independent that almost thinking that she don't need any man in her life, even don't believe in loving someone

but! Nori proving, that she was wrong. Nessa were too independent that she doesnt feel that she's actually lonely. She live alone for too long. Since she still a kid, all her father do is just promising and promising to her everyday to keep waiting her father to go home. He did eventually, but in 2 days later, 5 days, 7 days, weeks, months, and now.. years.

All she wanted were just a little love from her parents, especially her father, the love of her life. She doesnt need any man when she already got her father. Yet, she still need the touch of woman's love.

And here we go, Nori just saved her, her loneliness was slowly cured by Crushing over a girl that she just met online. Nessa doesnt know how to react to this, she too stunt to make an action.. No worries! Nori to rescue the day! By just a slight attention when Nessa doesnt pay any attention to this, Nori make her move to make this girl as her lover. And yes, yes she did.

Nessa got shocked, no she not upset.. as long the other side of her not make any move on boys guys or.. mens. She still fine with it.

Oh? She seems fine? Nori got thinking, can she made it with this girl? is this really the love that she wanted? hope she don't pick the wrong choices.. how if she got hurt, she gonna be so so sooo fucked when Nessa know that she would cry for love.

Then, Nessa to rescue.

It's fine, like she said, is a girl, and.. she totally her type, she will get along well as her lover. If there is any problem, she willing to handle it like an independent woman herself.

But no. The first date were on her birthday. Then Nessa just walk away, telling Nori to just take the handle of that.

Nessa hate her own birthday, she can't control her mood on that big day, usually she just cry all night when the clockwise just turn the time to 15th April. She don't wanna know about the date on that day, go handle by yourself.

Nori did. What she did? She made it, to make her crush into her girlfriend, she got a girlfriend, Nessa got a girlfriend!

She was too stunt, she take control when she gathered with her friends, the GM kids were so hyped up too for her birthday.

How the fuck is she gonna split her happiness now, well however, that's a bittersweet feeling for her birthday. Nessa were happy because her friends were celebrated her birthday, and Nori were so happy to get a girlfriend just on that night.

She got that two priority. This day has come, she got a lover, can Nessa accept this? she can, but she just need time to process. Because fuck, Nori is being too fast with this, like what the fuck?? you guys just met for like 2 weeks in person and then you just fell in love?? God damn Nori..

yeah, this need a time, surely. So in lots of time when chatting, Nessa take control of that, and hey hey.. her girlfriend got her heart, got her attention, got her worries, and got her on euphoria too, she was happy, too happy to get this much euphoria.

She never thought that she would have a lover in this age, 18.. she got a lover. Such a lovely girlfriend with all she wanted in a relationship. Her girlfriend got her fall in love for the first time, second time to be sure when Nori also fall in love with her girlfriend first hahaha. This is the dream come true.

When, she too excited and just leaked her relationship to the world.. her world, Nessa's friends were asking the serious question about it. Doomed, she was doomed. But no, Nessa got some lot of things that been said to convince them that she's not in "that" kind of relationship. No, no, no. Her world just shattered into pieces. Her friends was.. gone, they left her. They left..

What she gonna do now? Call her girlfriend for this? What she gonna say? She can't help either, right.. Nessa upset, but what she can do? Is falling in love would cost her friendship to end? She can't live without them..

for freaking 7 years, they've been live a life together, she doesnt feel so lonely because she got them. What she gonna do now?..

Nori handing her phone to her, while she cry, she crying even harder when she saw the chat of her girlfriend would still wanna be with her. She knew she's the horrible person, but not like this, she's not wanting her friends would knew this side of her by this case. But it is what it is, that's what happen

What she could do is just let it that out to her girlfriend, but then asking her for some time to just passed out this night (she's not literally said this.. but you get it.)

Since that, all she got is just her girlfriend, and her lil sister. Her lil sis was open to her relationship, and she fine with her sister sexual orientation that were different than the "normals". Day by days, she got better by just having lots of fun time date with her girlfriend. Still got problem by it, but meh she fine, she's good.

Now the time went by, they LDR. Her girlfriend had to go to another city for her college, she cried so hard when she was leaving her, her heart was so heavy, that time was so fast that she or them can't even predict how and when the girlfriend would go, and they never had a proper goodbye for the last time to meet.

Again, she gotten left. But her relationship would still stay though it's a hard time, surely a hard time for both of them, but we got this, until the day we meet again.

- Dearly Nessa, Nori.

May we see your theory about Nori still being alive

Oh god this ask was OLD. I am so sorry I was planning to make a post explaining my main ideas on to why there is a chance of her being alive but then school and bad memory and stuff. I may need to dedicate a separate post to this speculation

Also am not as inclined as before that she is still alive. Would love to see her in action or come back as a morally questionable character but we could get flashbacks exploring that.

[fluffybluesoul]

Right Star of the Library of Babel.

Sup this is my OC/main story thing. it will be consent updating thing because I have too many OCs. help me anyways enjoy your say at the library .

⋆✫⋆✶✧⋆ Oh hello there⋆✧✶⋆✫⋆

✧

✧

I’m not sure how you got here mortal but welcome to the Right Star of the Library of Babel.

In this library, every single phrase, word, and person has been written down even before it has come to thought. Even though its bookshelves may reach beyond eternity I am one of the three librarians of this library. You may say my name is God, divine Spirit, or whatever people believe in, we are them. we are the creator of everything and nothing. I must say it’s very impressive that you got here alive. Or to be more exact the concept of your existence made it here without falling apart. More impressive is you didn’t fall anywhere in the library, but you fell into my personal domain the garden of mirrors. I would give you more of a proper greeting, but right now my gardens are underneath some maintenance work.

Most of the stories I did look after shattered. So right now, I’m rebuilding my garden, unfortunately.

As you can see there are only two mirrors intact in this section

✧

✧

Even though they’re still intact I still don’t have that much information on the full stories of them. If you would like I could show you a little bit about their worlds.

✧

well then let’s start with the red mirror

✧

✧

The holder of this story’s name is Ravenna.

In the world that they are from there are two main species humans and bloodless. There isn't that much appearance-wise difference between the two species besides bloodless have white hair. Even though the bloodless and humans are similar. The bloodless have always been discriminated against for being considered monsters because of their supernatural abilities

Their story starts out in a sterilized laboratory run by one of the most powerful countries in the world. Ravenna, not being human was chosen by the government to be a select few to be a part of the biological weapons program. Where their bodies were modified and altered to be living assassins or soldiers. Ravenna was marked as number one and was the first one out of her test group to go underneath training and experimentation. they despise the scientist and the soldiers, and she vowed that she would escape enduring her younger years trying to find an exit. the day didn't come until there was a breach where when one of the younger bloodless in her group lost complete control and destroyed a major part of the facility. Ravenna took this as a window out and used the other bloodless as distractions by making them lose control of themselves.

now they live as a runaway in the shadows.

✧

Well, that's one story mostly gathered. Now there's only one other mirror that is not broken. This is quite newer than the other ones. Normally I would tell a different story than a freshly new one, but unfortunately, they’re shattered so I don’t have as much information as I do on the other story. Also, another thing you if you are afraid of the ocean this one may not be suited to your taste but if you want to listen, I will tell it.

✧

✧

✧

✧

✧

✧

✧

✧

✧

The holder of this story's name is nori

Nori was born in the deepest parts of the sea where no light shines, and no humans have touched. She was born into a line of priests who were the guardians and caretakers of the great Lord of the sea the leviathan. The people of the great dark deep worship the leviathan and in return it protects them from the ones of above who seek to destroy their land. Even though she was born in the dark she was always curious about what people call “sunlight” when she was little. one day she sneaked up to the surface even though it was also dark, so she got confused and saw that there was a light and approached it. as she approached the fishermen’s ship she got caught in their nets. Then when they pulled her over the haul, they started freaking out at the sight of her. She tried to reason with them, but she couldn't understand what they were saying it sounded so dry and strange. Just as about when they were going to kill her, the leviathan saved her taring the ship in two and dragging it below. saving her from the fishermen. Even though the humans tried to kill her, she still wants to know more.

✧

So, those are the only mirrors I have working at the moment. I will tell you more when more mirrors are fixed.

✧

Oh hello, good morning mortal. I'm not sure where you went after I told those stories, but you disappeared for a couple of hours. Even though the garden’s ceiling may always show a starlit sky I can still tell what time it is. Wall you were gone a mirror started to being to show its colors. if you wouldn't mind, may I invite you to discover this mirror story. “Mm’ is that a, yes? It is a, yes? Well, splendid then off to the mirror we go. They both start walking down one of the gardens paths with the soft dirt underneath their feet and with the violet tinted flowers on either side of them. It came to your notice that the mirrors in the hall had different shapes and sizes. You ask the Liberian why was this? Wasn’t it that they were only meant for one person?

✧

✧

Well, no and that's a simple reason why. Not only can the holders of stories not just be humanoids but other creatures, plants, or anything with an ascension conscience. There Also can be multiple holders of one story. So, all of the mirrors that you see before you are shaped to that one story, in particular, each mirror is unique like how each story holder is unique. See the reason why the mirrors are different from one another is because they act as a window or gateway into that story. So, the mirror reflects the story and shape’s it’s being its essence around it. Ah, would you look at that we are here! You abruptly stop and look in front of you to see a mirror with a yellow tint.

✧

✧

Oh, good this mirror has already chosen its holder.

Now it is time we have to find out what the mirror chose. The librarian sticks out her hand and touches the mirror of ripple effect spreads out from the center to the corners of the mirror and then all of the sudden you were pulled in.

✧

✧

You open your eyes to find yourself in a golden field with a child standing in front of you, then the librarian speaks.

Ah, I see the holder of this story’s name is Nikki.

EP 4 PREMIERE LETS GOO (SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT)

Uzi's wing backpack is really cute! hope it's not foreshadowing anything :)

YES KHAN BE EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE AND TRUST YOUR DAUGHTER WITH HER OWN FUTURE! I KNOW I KEPT SHIT TALKING YOU BUT I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT ONE DAY YOU WOULDN'T ROYALLY SCREW UP EVERYTHING

also was Nori the one initially obsessed with doors? and doll's dad. he was in the photo too, but then again, so was khan. Was he infected or not? if he has an id card, i didn't see it

does. does no one know who uzi is?? she literally exploded a gun in the middle of class that isn't something you'd easily forget. i mean i guess no one would really "know" her considering her complete and utter lack of friends up until now

N AND V AS CAMP COUNSELORS HAHAHAHA OH THIS IS GOING TO GO GREAT I CAN ALREADY TELL

all the other drones immediately fawning over N and V lmao.

ooh uzi's got a much better grasp of her powers now. someone's been practicing

LMAO THEY EXPLICITLY SAID "THERE WERE NO DOGS ON COPPER 9 WHEN EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT ALSO DOGS ARE IMMORTAL NOW"

oh N and V playing nice with the workers is really cute (also lizzy gets to sit with V!)

(also was i not paying attention or did thad just straight up disappear halfway through the episode)

V's being weird and cryptic again... also girl you know you're bluffing stop pretending you can just get rid of Uzi without consequences.

is uzi... resentful? is she upset that two literal murderers are able to make friends easier than her? poor girl.

oh hey doll. we thought you were dead (and you might still be idk what your fucking deal is anymore)

the killing/not killing the bug symbolism carries over to this episode too.

this bug can communicate! and we know for sure that it's connected to the solvers now!

it called her 002. it thinks she's nori. Were the inital test subjects registered, but not their children? would doll scan as yeva's number? (can't remember it off the top of my head)

oh she just turned that arrow into flesh. oh dear god it's alive. i never thought i say this, but i'm with uzi's classmates on this one what the fuck was that

"i live in the woods now!" ah yes that'll solve everything great job

oh uzi :( so this is why doll had such a large supply of oil on hand. good thing she had the stomach to drink it

(ok yeah thad's not with the group anymore where did he fuck off to)

YES N STAND UP TO V. DEMAND ANSWERS.

"she's a kid, like us V!" ... ok how old are they actually i want to know. "like us" implies similar age range at least and they kind of hinted at Uzi being 18-20 with the prom posters but i wish they'd just TELL us in canon or word of god it on twitter or something

LIZZY-

I thought rebecca's bf was Brad? did they break up? quick rebound time damn

oh doesn't matter they're gonna fucking die

JCjenson made a tape about "zombie drones". what did they know.

Flashback images: Tessa (looking VERY drone like), a severed hand hanging from a chandelier, and an explosion (that looks VERY solver-esque.)

oh shit's going downhill very quickly.

OH DEAR GOD. REBECCA. sorry Rebecca enjoyers that's an L for you guys.

OH. OH NO UZI. SHE'S GOT MURDER DRONE POWERS AND SOLVER POWERS YOU GUYS ARE FUCKED.

"Killing her, not saving you." it can be both V it's ok

did. did V just call her CYN? DID V JUST CALL HER CYN????

V GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF

oh her tail's got teeth. no nanites though...

ngl N's pretty much the best person who could've possibly shown up at that moment

her wing joints are human arm skeletons. nope. don't like that.

ohh N is just the sweetest. very emotionally aware too

V what are you smiling at. V is there something you want to tell us

i know we were all joking about V x Lizzy but i'm not sure it's a joke anymore

i'm not going to ask how riding the bus like a stagecoach works

V taking blame for the murders? aww you do care <3

is n scared of his connection to uzi? worried that he might be dangerous to her? or is he secretly scared of her but not willing to leave his first real friend?

( i know i've mentioned this three times now but thad's not on the bus. where did he go. did he just decide fuck this i'm not dying here and walk home?)

Manifesting

Summary: Souma, Erina, and Raiden return from their trip to Denmark 

Although she hadn’t believed it possible, the return flight had been even worse on Erina’s stomach than the outgoing trip. By the time they were back in their Tokyo apartment, the proud Totsuki chairwoman had been reduced to a pitiful ball curled up under a heap of blankets. 

“Ma, are you gonna live?” Raiden asked, stroking the small part of her head that was visible. 

With a clear image of her own mother weak and languishing in her mind’s eye—and an acute memory of the myriad ways in which that image had scarred her—Erina forced herself to sit up and contend with the world. 

She took her son’s hand and squeezed it lightly. “Love, it may not look like it now, but I promise I’m going to live.”

Raiden, for his part, looked less than convinced. “Do you want me to get Auntie Hisako?” 

Oh, the things she would do to have Hisako with her now. “Your godmother is in Boston,” she said. “She’s giving a talk at Harvard University this week.”

“She’d still come, though,” Raiden pointed out, and Erina couldn’t help but smile. If nothing else, this child knew people. 

“You’re probably right,” she said. “But we’re not going to test that theory quite yet. Why don’t you go help your father with the laundry?”

“Okay, ma. Just yell if you need anything.”

As soon as he was gone, Erina sunk back into the bedding, wondering how on earth she had survived her morning sickness the last time. 

A few minutes later, Souma came into their room, bearing a steaming bowl of something he would probably try and get her to eat. “Still alive, then?” 

She rolled her eyes at him. “Honestly, you’re just as bad as your son,” she said. “If I reach death’s door, you two will be the first to know.”  

“That kid.” Souma shook his head. “You’re really the center of his universe, Erina.”

“It’s strange,” she said, smiling a bit. “I never thought I’d be the type of mother a child could feel that way about. It’s not like I had much of an example.” 

“I knew you would be,” Souma said, taking a seat next to her on the bed. “Even back when we were first years, your ‘sensei’ personality was pretty maternal.” 

A slight blush colored her cheeks. “You’re biased,” she told him. “And you slept through all my lectures, anyway.” 

“Really? I don’t remember doing that.” 

“Of course you wouldn’t!” she growled, suddenly annoyed in retrospect. “You have the long term memory of a goldfish when it comes to anything other than food.” 

“I guess you’re right about that.” Just then, Souma handed the bowl over to her. “Forgive me?” 

It was a simple ochazuke—rice, nori, and sesame seeds topped with his Yukihira-style furikake seasoning and steaming green tea. Under normal circumstances, it was far too commonplace a dish for anyone to put before her god tongue—least of all her husband.

But now the gentle, familiar flavors calmed and soothed her delicate palate and frazzled nerves. It was a dish like a kiss on the forehead, a gentle hand resting on her stomach. Halfway through the bowl, Erina paused and blinked once, twice. 

“When did you find out?” she asked. Despite her cousin’s suspicions, Erina hadn’t said anything to Alice while they were in Denmark. In fact, she hadn’t even gotten around to taking a test yet. 

Her husband gave her a long look then. “When you ransacked my suitcase looking for a Kit-Kat.”

Erina sighed deeply; damn those random cravings. “Yeah, that’s legit.” She rubbed her right temple for a minute. “What are we going to do?” 

Souma reached for her hand and interlaced their fingers. “We’ll just do what we did last time,” he said. “Have the child, raise her, teach her to cook, and in another six years or so, we’re gonna be sitting here talking about how you’re the center of her universe too.” 

Erina rested her head on his shoulder. When in the world had he gotten so charming? He had been a bumbling, classless idiot back when they met. 

“Are you insulting me in your head again? You’re making the face.”

Goddamn it! 

“How are you so certain it’s going to be a girl?’” she asked.

Souma shrugged. “Alice taught me something about manifesting a few years back.” 

“You’re such a fool,” Erina said, and hoped it sounded like ‘I love you.’

He kissed her then, softly, and she knew that it had.
