End of the Month Fic Roundup
Happy all hallow's eve, to those of you who care about such a thing! I've been publishing a few treats, and I do have one trick to play...
First of all, another chapter of Japari Interstellar has come out, for those of you who love stories about cute animal people making first contact with aliens. And there's also Power of the Chosen One's new chapter, if you're into the interactions of fae gods and superheroes.
Then we've got a quick smattering of one-shots and snippets: an altpower called Chrysalis, for those of you who like Kafkaesque transformation; another little bit of Central Collapse, featuring the ramblings of a depressed man; and further delving into Vaita Ketotakha, where a bargain is struck between two psychics.
If you're into meatier stories, though, Vista of the Stars got four updates this month, during which our intrepid heroine settles into her new life on Ryloth over the course of a year. Or perhaps you'd like An Injection Of Chaos, where a young girl is blessed with access to the multiverse but cursed with a lack of control.
And finally, an announcement: Some of you may remember that fun meta story, Describing The Series Via References. It hasn't gotten an update this month... but it will get one next month. That's right, this monster has lain dormant for almost a year, but for everyone who wants to jump on... the real ride's finally about to begin.
Please remember that writers are artists too, and artists need support! Here is my Patreon if you want to support me long term, and here is my ko-fi if you want to support me short term. I really depend on this for... basically all my income. If you can't fund me monetarily, reblogs are also appreciated!

Kinda obsessed with the historical context of Rise of the Guardians. Pitch wanting the Dark Ages to come back, which historically was the decline of culture and records. The Guardians rose at the same time as the Renaissance with the rise of culture, knowledge, and science. (Tooth in particular mentions that she hasn’t been out in the field for 440 years, give or take, which would put that smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance)
The way Pitch doesn’t want the world to change, the way the Guardians change in tune with the world. The way Jack, who lived in has a human in the 17th or 18th century, who lived in the time after the Renaissance and lived witnessing the world all the way to the modern era, is there to show the Guardians how much they missed and how they can further change and improve for the more modern world. These characters are immortal beings who have so much power over the world, it makes so much sense that when they fall and rise in power it impacts the world that they want to influence, for better or for worse.

It’s kinda neat how Chosen’s lightning ability is specifically lightning and not just electricity in general. He always makes a cloud for it to come from first.
Also have you noticed that he doesn’t need his fire to stay in the air whenever he has those thunderclouds? Granted we’ve only seen him use lightning on three occasions and he was only flying for two of them, and he may still be flying with his fire while he’s making them, but it seems that when he’s actively using the cloud he doesn’t need his fire to remain airborn.
He might not even need to make the cloud himself; in Wanted it looks like he calls upon the clouds that are already around him. But it’s interesting that it seems he needs a cloud on-hand in order to do anything with electricity.

honestly the more i think about Hal as an often homeless, broke, frequently unemployed, felon who’s constantly five bad days away from a mental breakdown the less funny jokes about him being constantly belittled and bullied by the multi billionaire personally funding the justice league really are.

I was thinking about the Chosen One, as I'm always doing, and... I realized something really disheartening.
Chosen has never won a fight while fighting for the right side.
His first fight with Alan? Right before he can teach him the lesson he deserved, he's captured and enslaved by Avast! for years. His second fight with Alan? He comes out on top this time, but it was that victory and the subsequent rampages that made the Dark Lord, his only ally, go off the deep end.
His grudge match with Dark? He's holding the advantage most of the fight, but is immediately overwhelmed when Dark puts on the wristbands. Even when he goes full bash brothers mode with Alan, the high point of their character arcs where they mutually forgive each other and work together as an incredible team, they lose to the ViraBot army. To add insult to injury, that practically nullifies his earlier win against the singular ViraBot.
The Mercs? We don't even see the fight that preceded it - we begin in media res with Chosen full-bore fleeing. His fight with Victim in the Box? What fight? That was a torture session where Victim was holding all the cards from the very beginning.
It just really has to sting. Imagine being THE strongest person in your universe 99% of the time, and one day, you look back and realize that every single time you were fighting for the right cause, you completely and utterly lost. Your only victories came when you were still a villain. You are a being created for and defined by your world-shaking strength, and you are always being overtaken by villains who are careful strategists, making concerted efforts to never give you a chance to breathe until you're worn down and defeated.
It gets hard to feel like you're living up to the name "The Chosen One".

Chosen: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Dark: And Second! We should fear them as well!
Chosen: ...?
Dark, grabbing Chosen's shoulders: No, you don't understand Cho. The other day, I saw him drink liquid energy, which can kill a grown Stick in moments, and survive.
Chosen: WHAT?!

nothing would make me happier in TWP than kit just absolutely refusing his bloodline and destiny at every turn
faerie keeps messaging him about politics and how he is the lost heir and chosen one with special powers and he just keeps sending back notes that say "lol nah"
everyone is warning him about his cursed heritage and fate, trying to kidnap or kill him, and he's like [read at 5:28 PM]
the entire shadow world wants him to be the main character so badly but he refuses to be anything but ty's simp and sidekick forever
