#ash has too many robots

[aviatrix-ash]

The 🚁🚁🚁 are sniffing eachother to determine if friend or foe.

Will Blades be accepted into the 🚁 squad or will they smell he's an Autobot?? Nature is fascinating :0

[kalosian-woods]

Clemont is just really funny in general i think. he's just like that, realistically theres so much to unpack about him;

he made an entire invention where he spoke to the mayor and was spread out across the town of the uni he was in which he got in at the age of maybe like 8.

he's a gym leader. he lost his gym to his invention,

there was the slightest chance he could've been mind controlled.

his bag is a bag of holding

he can't run

his entire mental state is the way it is because of a single mistake that wasn't even his fault

There's so much to unpack about him and the creators were like; "yeah anyways!"

okay but seriously, i think we as a fandom neglect the fact that if it wasn't for Clemont's anxious(???) paranoid(???) quick thinking(???) overly prepared(???) he probably he would've gotten mind controlled. like what was up with that.

-⚡(you can call me clem anon! its also just really funny and the fact that i've so far only exclusively talked about him makes it even funnier. electric anon is okay too !)

Clemont is his own bag of holding lol, there really is SO MUCH with him and I'm shaking you on the shoulders rn clem nonnie. Please. How is it possible that there is so much to him as it is. I need to study him under a microscope.

With the first point, that always made me laugh in a way lol. Him at the age of possibly eight created a power source slash Electric Pokemon recharger for a whole town/city. The mayor has noticed his efforts. This is before he is a Gym Leader, and this is the place where he made the promise to Shinx (a promise that he broke, not by any fault of his own, but by the very thing that brought them together in the first place).

The way he actually just straight up lived in Prism Tower, or at least that's how it felt, along with Bonnie. Their father is in the same city with a house but they won't bother with that and he doesn't bother them until they are MIA for at the very least a few weeks if not months. His reasoning for being a Gym Leader is to wield Electric Types from every region and become an Electric-Type Trainer that the world has never seen. The fact that he can be this ambitious with battling gets me (and also his learning from school carrying over c':)

His bag is also a mechanical marvel (not Volcanion, sorry). His Aipom Arm has only malfunctioned once (1 time), and he's easily able to lift Bonnie into the air with it. Also we never see this beyond the first ep but it has an inflatable airbag??? That is actually safe and comfortable to land on even with the everything in his bag as it is.

Even after the whole series and after everything they've ever went through, he still cannot run. Only one time he has ever sprinted ahead (in this realm/dimension) and that was to get to a festival about Zapdos of all Pokemon (and maybe that inventing fair as well??). No one comments on it beyond that one moment. He's also tried to make shoes to help him go up hills quicker but he never tried that one again lol (he forgot he even had it until Serena mentions the monorail, in which also, wow. this gang i swear).

That's actually one of the saddest parts (and something I can totally relate with). The way that we see him so happy and open with Shinx beforehand, ready to learn and be hands on and playing outside even with all the work that he had. And then we hear about how he lost his Gym, how his Pokemon disregard his words and his invention doesn't see him as worthy or strong enough, and it really is him just living out a nightmare of his own making in a way. His fear from back then keeps haunting him with the mistakes that he makes now, and even after meeting with Luxio again you can see the way he just... accepts that he's no longer wanted or forgiven. He's fine with it. He rather everyone have a better life than he does. Just,, he needs a hug. Lots of them.

HELP PLS you've said exactly what I've been thinking off this whole time!! Geez, I thought I was alone in thinking that we brush off whatever happened to Clemont in 'The Needs of Many!' like I get that we lose Greninja, but hello? He got straight-up kidnapped right in front of our eyes! He was going to be made into a superhuman (which has some very very worrying connotations beyond what is already happening). He too was blasted by the Mega Evo Energy, and even if he did resist the mind control, there's got to be other effects as well. If his friends weren't OP and reckless as they were he would've actually been carted away to who knows where and it would've been a matter of time until his preventive measures were found out. And the way he already had a counter against it, against the beam specifically (and for it to be able to work without any issues) is also so sad and worrying in a way?? It's definitely paranoia to me, it was very specific (more than usual, anyways), small enough to hide and easy enough for him to grab. Poor boy :(( I need to just sit down and think every time I remember this is an ep that exists because they just went ham with it, didn't they??

Mystic Shop:Shortcut to success

The path as an actor is quite difficult, that is something I understand very well.Okay, but what I don't quite understand is that almost six years have passed and I still haven't made any progress.

The voice in the head of Has, an ordinary-looking young man, is thinking while working on the set of the film.

He graduated from the Faculty of Acting and majored in acting many years ago. He was praised as a very talented actor by both his teachers and friends, but his chance to act was overlooked simply because he looked ordinary.

While he was thinking about the past, he saw a handsome young man who was the main character in this group.

Raven, the handsome young man who was the hero of this filming, made Ash a little unhappy because Ash could clearly see that his acting ability was very low. He acted stiffly like a robot, or maybe a robot could act better than that. Ash could only think to himself.

After the group of people left, Ash could only hold back his dissatisfaction as he walked along the quiet street, and then he heard someone shout, "Hey, big brother, come in."

เHe turned to look at the source of the voice and saw a handsome young man wearing a simple waiter's uniform calling him into a strange shop. The sign in front of the shop said, "We can help you change your life." As he walked into the hot room, he heard sweet words.

Do you want to be successful? It seems like you are taking a long time but the results are not coming to you yet?

The young employee asked openly.

Not arrogant about anything, Hass admits, “Yes, it’s been a long time since I’ve had that opportunity.”

Then you're in luck, we can help you. The young clerk turned under the counter and picked up a leather jacket.

This is a special jacket that allows the wearer to possess his or her body just by wearing the jacket as part of him or her.

We will put your soul into the jacket ourselves. You will fall asleep and wake up in your new body. Do you agree?

Hearing that, Hass was interested, but he had a question. “If I put my soul in it, will I be able to make my new body wear this jacket?” Hass asked suspiciously, but the clerk smiled playfully before answering.

“Of course, our shop will take care of everything.” So to guarantee that we will make you into the shape you want, we will not charge you upfront, but you can pay when it is done. How about this?”

Hus saw nothing bad when the employee just reached out his hand to make a deal. He shook hands with the employee. “I agree.” When their hands shook, it was a contract that the deal was made. Suddenly, Hus started to feel sleepy. He slowly lost consciousness. The last thing he saw was the employee smiling with his eyes full of satisfaction.

Huss came to a strange state of consciousness. He felt that his body was very light. When he looked closely, he could not move at all. He found that he had turned into a jacket.

She said as she walked away that someone had carried him up to the wardrobe and had someone put him on.

Hus found out that the person wearing him was Raven. He was a little shocked, but he felt satisfied to receive Raven's body from him. He felt that he was merging with Raven's body. Everything about Hus slowly turned dark again…

Raven's Corner

Today I have to continue filming this movie. I'm a little bored with the people on set who are gossiping about my acting being too stiff.

**After putting on the jacket**

I feel like I can perform better with this weird feeling like something is flowing through me, but I accept it.It made me able to act more naturally but ahhh the more I accepted it the more my body became uncontrollable. Ahhh the worst it made me horny it made me hard all the time.I can't stand it anymore. Aaaah no, I just finished in my pants and they're so wet now. Why is everything getting darker…,,,

Raven's body twitched for a moment before opening her eyes. Hass had now taken over Raven's body.

From now on, I'll take care of it myself. Let's see how well I can portray you, Raven. Wow, it looks like someone just finished in his pants. I'll definitely continue at your house, Raven, no, mine, lol.

After 1 year

The handsome young actor Raven has been nominated for the Best Leading Actor award. He can give a great performance. The headlines are like this, I feel shy.

Hass in Raven's body lives as Raven. He can act as Raven smoothly without anyone knowing. He gets up and goes to take a photo, thinking to himself, "Thanks to this body, I've come this far, but I should thank the Mystic Shop for helping me get this body. Ah, I feel so good in this body. Ah, it seems I made his brother hard again by accident. I'll have to work so I can have fun."

I'm trying to get my backlog of requests sorted out before the new year. I hope you like it. See you on the next one.

Ghosts and medium - Ghost Types Guide

hello!! I figured i should make a list of which type of ghosts/spirits there are! It seems fitting as i never explained and i doubt i will give a clear list in the drabbles themseves!

(Also i havent given content on this in ages and it was about time haha)

Warning!! These are about people who died very bad deads. There will be mention of murder and trauma and abuse and rape.

It doesnt go beyond mentioning but people be aware.

Ghosts

This one isnt actually like other undeads at all and actually very misleading. This is the only spirit type that still has their complete soul, and so are actually considered a monster type. And not an undead. And once a monster ghost finds the right vessel and has a high emotional state, they can fuse with the vessel and become corporeal. Making them effectively a monster of another subtype. (They will always be ghost type first, but they will get a second monster type based on the vessel. Be it like Doll or Robot or even an skeleton (yes they can possess dead matter and a human skeleton could work as vessel))

So. Ghosts! How they are formed is a bit of the mystery as the only people who know are ghosts and it is a mystery they hide fiercely. (Ghosts can both form from dead humans. And from ghosts themselves procreating)

It is rather ironic that most people still call spirits ghosts when ghosts actually refer to the living monsters. (Yes that makes the name of the drabble serie also very ironic because none of them are technically ghosts but that is beside the point.)

.

Next up the undead spirits. First rule with a spirit forming, almost always a traumatic or painful death of some kind is needed for them to form. A spirit is made of the left over magic and lifeforce/energy of a living person and these can be evoked and passed on through very strong emotions. Starting with the weakest.

Shades

Shades are the weakest type of spirit. They are hardly more than an echo. Their powers are limited to being shortly visible and very minimal interacting with things. They are also never fully there anymore personality wise. They are just a weak echo of the person they used to be. Often only remaining because of unfinished business that they may not even remember. It depends on how they feel in life. Often having very hopeless deads can cause shades to form. Most spirits in the world are shades and they just watch unable to interact or reach out for help.

Ask was VERY close to becoming a shade after his own dead. The only reason he didn't is because Dust managed to bring take revenge FOR him on Ash's rapist and murderer. (Sidenote. If you were to check in the cell the coach is stuck in. You would just see an empty and emotionless husk. Withering away slowly as Ash got all the lifeforce and soulenergy the coach had left BECAUSE Dust took revenge for him. Spirit and medium rules get weird like that. Neither Dust or Ash are aware of this.)

Phantoms

Phantoms are the next weakest but are the first type of spirits to keep their personality and all their memories when they die. They have a limited form and abilities as all their energy went into perserving their sense of self and identity. Phantoms are often the spirits who interact with ouiji boards. They are still invisible and rarely visible to the normal people. They could expand a lot of energy to be seen but that would be too tiring for them to maintain for long.

They often just want to be heard and tell their stories. They often want things to have mattered. Their existence to have mattered.

Ash only ended up in this section thanks to Dust as mentioned in the before section.

Horror is also in this sectionbut much stronger than Ash. Horror's dead made him realise how many things had been messed up and how he never truly had any influence in his life. He wanted deeply to have anythign he did matter. To be able to still do things and change things. Which is why he can still interact with the world and things around him. All things considered with how traumatic and depressing his death had been it is honestly a miracle he had still been as strong of hope and determined to make a difference.

Wraiths

Wraiths are the first spirits to be completely visible to people, monsters and humans alike. They appear completely normal and alive. But that is a trap, as these spirits only want one thing.

Revenge.

Once they get revenge against the person who hurt them while alive this feeling does not disappear. These spirits are consumed and motivated by rage and hatred alone. They want to hurt others the way they have been hurt. They want those they find guilty yo be punished.

But the longer a wraith exists to more removed they become from their original target. The longer they exist the less they will care about details. Maybe they originally wanted revenge against their abusive partner. Once that person is taken care off they will start looking for other abuse partners to kill. Once they can't find any more they will get into relationships and kill their partner for even the smallest argument. Until eventually they just target everyone in a relationship.

It is a slippery slope and the older a Wraith gets the more dangerous they become.

Dying with a lot of hatred and rage in your heart/soul leaves you as a Wraith.

Spectre

A spectre is not as much stronger than a Wraith as they have more control. They can chose if they want to be visible or not and are not consumed by their rage. They feel all the emotions as they did when alive but their emotions shift quickly. The smallest things can bring both joy but also sorrow and rage to a spectre.

And depending on their mood they will react.

They do not lose their rational thoughts but that makes them more dangerous as they learn and adapt to challenges.

While an old Wraith is dangerous as it targets everyone. An old Spectra is dangerous as they learn all they can about their target and they are patient enough to make your life a living hell to get their revenge. As a spectre is aware that death is just a possible end and escape for their target, and if they don't wish you to die you won't.

Spectres are often the cause of old hauntings in houses. The ones where you see something move or fly by but nothing attacks you. If you did not directly harm a spectre they will not care about you. They will ignore you and you can safely ignore them.

A cold need for revenge and an unfavouring focus on this gives you the ability to return as a Spectre after death.

Poltergeist

The poltergeist is stronger than the before mentioned spirits because they have all the same abilities as the other two but are truly free with their emotions. Tehy don't feel just rage or hatred or feel superchargest emotions like the spectres.

Poltergeists truly feel what they felt when they were alive and they are rare to form.

Rare enough that it is not common knowledge of how one comes to be. Very few in the story know how one can form (what makes them form is finding a freedom and relieve in death. If a person dies believing that death will just be the next adventure and freeing there is a posibility to return as a Poltergeist. This is not a matter of that someone wishing to die and for death returns as a Poltergeist, it is about wanting to life and wanting to continue but seeing death as a means to it. It is a chaotic way of thinking. To look at what everyone thinks is the end and see a new beginning. Killer, the glorious bastard, died a horrible death. But as he was laying there dying, being bitten by rats and mice as he could not even move and felt the hunger eat at him. He realised that death would be freeing. He would be free of the pain and the chains. It isn't that Killer wanted to die, he never did, but he did see it as a freedom to break free of all the chains holding him. And it did.)

Becuase Poltergeists don't feel the need for revenge they rarely focus on that. Instead they move on and start to explore their abilities and their options. It is why they will often make mischief happen. As they grow bored and want to play in a way they can. They want interaction as there are hardly any spirits that are on their level.

As they are powerful the weaker spirits will try to stay away from poltergeists. Afraid they will play and hurt them for their amusement. Some may, some may not. It depends on who the person was.

The Poltergeist is dangerous as they are rare and people just don't know what they can expect of know their limits. Many believe these may have been the most powerful if it weren't for their seemingly mischivious and carefree nature. Ironic, for a spirit.

And last, the strongest spirit.

Banshee

Banshees are by far the strongest spirit as they gain magical powers on their death. They can sing a soft song which is enchanting and able to hypnothesize you and encourage you to remain near them. Which is dangerous as they will hold you close before stealing your lifeforce and life-energy to empower themselves.

They also have a cry/scream which can split walls and crush bones. Which is from a weak Banshee.

Banshees do not feel empathy anymore. They know they used to be alive but the power and magic available to them makes them feel mor eimportant and above mortals. They feel like they have risen above and deserve to be served.

They do not take kindly to you refusing to listen to their orders or if you do not serve them. They will take it as a personal insult and they will try their hardest to make you reject this decision.

Banshees are formed from other spirits. Who manage to collect enough life force and life energy of other spirits to grow stronger.

If you find a banshee you quickly need to find help against it, as if you don't have the right tools you will not win. And the banshee will figure out you are against them, and they will make sure you never do that again.

.

As mentioned above, A banshee is formed through taking Life force or Life energy from other creatures, specifically other spirits.

All spirits have a very limited amount of this energy. Living people generate it for as long as they are alive and use it to make it into mana or just energy.

Spirits can steal this force from living people. Which is why they will often haunt people to begin with. To gain a little bit of this unlimitted source. But it is hard to take this energy from people as the physical body protects this.

It is easier to take from their fellow spirits as they do not have a physical form to protect this energy. Which is why spirits are almost always alone, as the only thing they truly and naturally have to fear are their fellow spirits.

(Ash is safe as he is anchored to Dust. Dust is sharing his own energy with his brother without much of a thought. And because Dust is one, physical, and two, a very powerful medium who has many charms to protect both himself and Ash (and later the other spirits stalking him))

.

There is one more type of undead to talk about.

The living undead.

Revenant

The revenant is not a zombie. A eevenant is a spirit who somehow gained a physical form again.

No one is sure what makes this possible or even how a spirit can achieve this.

This is not the same as possession. This is a way that they truly gain a body that is truly theirs. A body that is specific to their spirit and no one else.

Revenant are immune to possession and most of the other spirits's abilities.

But for now? Not even the experts on spirits know what a revenant can or could do.

After all... It isn't like this options happens...

warnings : reader has an asthma attack ! referred to in 2nd person, might be ooc + not proofread

genre : x reader, fluff + (angst?), mini story + headcanon format.

P.1 : Ashlyn, Logan, Aiden

☆ 》 ben clark 《 ☆

the group has been running from these phantoms for too long now, you can feel your legs giving up, your chest tightening and your breathing getting shallower, you quickly grab your inhaler, "fuck.." you mumble as you find out your inhaler is empty, your lungs feel like their on fire and your sweating profusely. "guys, my inhaler.." was all you choked out before your body gave up on you, falling to your knees trying to breathe

☆ Ben panicked, adrenaline rushing through his body as he quickly picked you up and carried you right inside the graveyard, you guys were trying to do a quick mission to ashs house (before you had the jeep.) but it didn't go according to plan.

☆ you weakly sat on one of the many seats in the schoolbus, the others checking around the base to see if there was any refills for your inhaler as ben was by your side, making sure you stayed conscious and weren't about to pass out from your asthma attack.

☆ unfortunately that was your last inhaler refill, and you were extremely pale and sweating as if you were in the vegas during the hottest week there.

☆ ben typed out on his phone, making sure to instruct you through your asthma attack to the best of his ability. "concentrate on your breathing y/n." the robotic TTS voice spoke, ben didn't know if you could see properly, so he used to TTS option so you could hear the instructions.

☆ the others were worriedly around you, but making sure to give you breathing space, as they were all concerned about your increase in asthma attacks you've been getting since savannah.

☆ as your asthma attack subsided, ben typed out on his phone to make sure you feel better. "how are you feeling y/n, can you breathe?" you nod as she mumble that you feel better and can actually breathe without struggling.

☆》 Tyler hernandez 《☆

the group has found themselves in a predicament, you can feel your legs giving up, your chest tightening and your breathing getting shallower, you quickly grab your inhaler, "fuck sakes.." you mumble as you realize your inhaler is in your motel room. your lungs feel like their on fire and your sweating profusely. "Wait.. guys I-.." was all you could get out before you fell straight to the ground, the phantom right behind you.

☆ Tyler easily recognized your weak voice, turning around quickly to pull you up before the phantom got to you. it was strange on how this is almost the same thing they found in the sorrel house. tyler pulled you close to him right before ashlyn slammed the phantom with the janitor cart.

☆ tyler brought you into the other motel room. as the other two looked out to see ash, aiden and ben, Tyler patted you down to see if you had your inhaler, but to no avail you didnt. he sat you down and made sure to instruct you on your breathing.

☆ "take deep breaths okay y/n?" Tyler spoke, he carefully held you as the other three came into the motel room, they were a little confused on why you collapsed but were a little more shocked by tyler comforting you.

☆ tyler glared at the others before looking back at you and keeping you awake and making sure your breathing stabilizes sooner than later. he was definitely worried and the others haven't seen him this concerned since they met him, besides taylor of course.

☆ although you didn't have your inhaler, this asthma attack as a mild one and it ended in only a couple minutes with the help of Tylers quick thinking, cause in all honesty you might've forgotten the steps to calm down your attack from the anxiety caused by the phantoms.

☆ "y/n are you okay..?" tyler worriedly spoke as he pulled you close to him, once you confirmed you're alright he hugged you tightly, muttering a few words you couldn't really understand. "just rest okay..? we'll figure out whatever the hells going on." he spoke as you nodded, he let you laid down on his lap as you eventually fell asleep.

☆ 》 Taylor hernandez 《☆

the group has been running from these phantoms for too long now, you can feel your legs giving up, your chest tightening and your breathing getting shallower, you quickly grab your inhaler, "the hell...?" you mumble as you find out the medication canister is gone. your lungs feel like their on fire and your sweating profusely. "tay, I can't breathe..." you weakly spoke right before collapsing to the ground, struggling to catch your breath.

☆ Taylors heart stopped. first she watched her brother fall off a cliff, now she couldn’t bare to see her lover die to the hands of a phantom. She immediately turned around and pulled you out of the way of the phantom.

☆ thankfully ash heard the phantom behind you, and was quick to swing into action. the phantom only managed to give you a little scratch, but thankfully that's all the phantom managed to do.

☆ taylor pulled you inside the gas station, sitting you upright against one of the shelves and making sure you stay conscious. She noticed the empty inhaler mouthpiece and checked her pockets to see if she had a canister refill for you, only to find out she doesn't have one.

☆ " y/n.. just focus on breathing.. Ty-.. ash check if they have any inhaler canisters.." Taylor spoke, she held you close to her and continued to make sure your breathing is getting stabilized. The others were concerned as there was on 7 minutes till they shift back, worried since you never had an asthma attack during a shift, which could harm you.

☆ ashlyn found your dose and quickly passed it to taylor who put it in your inhaler; making sure it worked before pulling it to your lips and assisting you with using it, one dose.. two doses.. and now they need to wait.

☆ after a few minutes your asthma attack subsided and resolved. Taylor held you close and muttered sweet nothings as a few tears ran down her face, a few choked sobs slipping from her lips. "I was so worried about you y/n.." she spoke before planting a kiss on your cheek.

A/N : yippie guys ^^ i kinda didn't know what to write for this part, but i figured out some ideas. though they might he repetitive and such 😓

[rowretro]

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕳𝖆𝖚𝖓𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌

(picture found on tumblr)

✧Warnings: Violence, detailed ghost and gore, blood, a horror themed yandere story, dead bodies, possibly creepy dolls?, mafia demon Won (coz he has a gun in the pic, and I need him to be a demon in this story)

✧Synopsis: Y/n never found herself having to hide in her sweet penthouse, her $500 bottle of red wine spilled out of her crystal wine glass, the stunning door many envied, bloodied and broken. She found herself running, running into danger yet again... and the police were on a search for her, as she's now a missing person case. But Jungwon was on a hunt for her, making sure his darling is safe at all costs.

✧✭☆✧✭☆✧✭☆✧✭☆✭✧☆✭✧☆✭✧☆✭✧

Y/n's blood ran cold. one last audio recording of her discoveries on day 7 of surviving. Surviving what you ask? she doesn't even know what to call it. It's eyes blank white, blood surrounding it's pearly eyeballs, running down it's cracked porcelain skin, dried out, it's long hair, everywhere it trails. She learnt not to touch it or it'll immediately sense she's there. It couldn't see her, but it could hear her. it could hear how her blood pumped through her body, her somewhat heavy breathing but it never knew where she hid. She was in an abandoned school.... a University known for it's paranormal sightings. She'd ran into many bodies, of those who tried to escape, some were streamers, reporters who willingly walked into the death department, others seemed like students who tried to escape.

Yet somehow she managed to find out how to kill it... the monster. Finding random letters a woman named Angela Xiao wrote till her death. Y/n examined how the monster's nails went from plain dead, to growing, blinding white nails. The day time was when it was most safe, it never came out in the late, but y/n remained wary. But now it's winter. The nights longer than days, darkness lasting long. She couldn't remember the last time she slept soundly with her only worry being waking up late when she has a morning lecture.

She figured the monster wrote those letters, it was once a woman, forced into an abusive marriage with a man that hurt her always, until he had it, ripping out her ligaments whilst she was still alive, as the woman screamed bloody murder, according to the random news letters in the cold dead hands in some reporters. There was some talks of a kid's ghost that lurked the hallways too. Her heart ached for this woman, but she had to get rid of this.... cursed being. perhaps perform an exorcism?...

She found a lighter, checking if it'd still blaze up, unaware of her surroundings, when a sudden, gut wrenching, ear-piercing scream shook her. There it was, the monster. Not expecting anything to happen but at least slow the thing down, she set it on fire, running off and hiding. but it kept screaming in agony, its body burning up, as it disappeared to ashes.... Y/n's eyes grew wide as she saw a much prettier woman in the form of a ghost, staring around at the bloodied mess, looking quite hurt... It saw y/n, and left behind a key....

It was the key to get out of this place physically. Hopeful yet extremely cautious, she picked up the key. The sound of clinking, echoed the empty hallways, not too far. That can't be right... she hid in the closet, watching as the shadow grew bigger. Her heart dropped at the sight. another one? she wondered as she saw the porcelain mannequin, walking robotically, its hair looking like an elegant wig a woman's love to wear, a red bow tied around it. the strappy red dress looked like a dress she had worn to a friend's frat party.

Those red glass heels looked as fragile as it's ceramic, glossy skin. "I know you're in here human... I can smell your yummy blood... oh don't be shy come out! it'll only hurt a little... I just wanna tear you open and eat your insides whilst u scream in pain!" it said with an eerily sweet voice. She calmed her breath, hiding well, she saw its face. pupils black, lashes drawn on, like a man had made himself a pretty wife in the 1950's, except it looked creepy, sure it possessed the beauty standards one'd expect in a woman, that were so unrealistic. but it's mouth area was broken off, and it's bloodied teeth, with some skin evident in between.

"Come out dear girl... I can see your dark hair.... what such pretty skin you have there......" she commented as Y/n swallowed hard. "THERE YOU ARE!" it screamed as y/n felt herself giving up, reaching for the blade to end her sorrows so she wont face the pain. as it's cold hands grabbed her shoulders, and opened its jaw revealing many rows of bloodied, long sharp teeth, y/n couldn't help but scream. Yet it dropped dead. glass shattering, soul arising from the shatterred, creepy mess off porcelain and disappearing. Y/n breathed heavily, as she finally cried.

"Fuck it's ok, its ok.... I'm here y/n...." a familliar voice said, Jungwon, the sweet boy in her class, the man she had a crush on.... but... he looked different. Gun in hand, black, featherred wings that had sprouted out his back. She backed away, repeating the word no, scared he's just an illusion. "shh shh.... I promise it is me.... I've been looking for you everywhere.... I didn't know that the curses still lived on earth- but trust me, you're safe with me.... look me in the eyes sweetheart." he said as y/n did so. and she immediately felt his sincerity.

As the police bought her story, and discovered the many dead bodies, they pinned their target, the man who started the curse of course, The man who had killed his wife and child. To the police however, he was a psychotic serial killer who killed every one there brutally and had gotten away with it for dozens of years. Y/n was in Jungwon's home, getting a little used to his demon abilities, and his dear friend Jay who casually sipped out of a blood bag before her. Jungwon could feel she was scared.... god it hurt him that she was so shaken up, in such a condition for about a week.

But he loved it, he loves how she grew so dependant on him... How she dragged him with her everywhere, how he helped her shower, delicately scrubbing the soap on her soft skin, wary of the wounds and cuts. He's loving how she's currently snuggling into his embrace, dressed in one of her short yet comfortable nightgowns, needy for his reassurance. See if something like this never happened, he couldn't have gotten her attention..... The haunting was all that was needed to get her to love him... And he will make sure she'll forever love him. She has no choice, only he can protect her, and only he can love her....

[sullyfortress]

Oel ngati kameie Mama Sully :3, good to see you again :3

I had a crazy avatar idea...(Mostly about the Na'vis)

Here we go again....

What if there were Na'vis (Avatars), hybrids with Big Cats? (Like tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards, snow leopards, etc.)

What if there were avatars (Na'vis) with DNA from sea creatures? Like the Tulkuns, or any sea creature from Pandora or Earth?(They would have, let's say, attributes of each animal, for example, if it was a swordfish, it would swim faster in the water, etc.)

Is there a creature that resembles the leviathan to the Na'vis? :0

This idea is a bit crazy (I admit), but what if there were androids Na'vis, who use them to collect data and information about the Na'vis tribes, and they return to the humans, so that they can attack the Na'vis?

Could it be that there are Na'vis (from the seas), but from the deep seas of Pandora? (Like the Mariana Trench), and would they have additional characteristics?

It's a bit of a crazy idea of mine, but what if, for example, they used big cat heads, instead of Na'vis heads (avatars), and had the DNA mixed with the big cats(Technically, a Na'vi is like a feline, only humanoid, but ok). About the connection, the Na'vis(Avatars)/Big Cat hybrids, their connection would be through the tail itself, but in the head (In the middle, from the back of the head), Until the The shoulders, there is the queue, where you can connect there too, with the creature and with anything else (related to Pandora, the hybrid queue is the same size as the normal Na'vis queues).

About the Na'vis/Big Cats Hybrids, They would have the "powers" of the big cat that they have their DNA mixed with, for example, if it is a black jaguar, it could have darker skin, to camouflage itself well, and help when hunting, all Avatar/Big Cat hybrids have night vision (because all big cats have it), and they have those Paw pads (on the palm and fingers), and all have retractable claws, Besides, I also thought about them having fur, They also, let's say, have improved attributes than many Conventional avatars (all their attributes are improved), for example, they can run at the speed that their big cat DNA has...

That's all I've been thinking, in fact I mentioned you in one of my posts, because I loved seeing your fanarts of the ash tribe, for me that's Canon, you have fantastic art! 😍🫶🏽. Feel hugged too, because you deserve this hug, for helping me that day, that's it, take care of yourself and a fantastic hug mama Sully! Remember: Oel ngati kameie 🫂

I am beyond behind in my inbox asks so I am slowly picking through them and I saw this and GASPED because I love the idea of merging animals into weird Na'vi hybrids. I mean Na'vi in general are inspired heavily by cats - fact - so yes I have already heavily been pulling from cats in designing them and figuring out features. Cool ideas here. Androids are already in James Cameron's toolbox so I 100% can see android/Na'vi's being a thing when human drivers become unreliable. Like imagine how much of a mind fuck that would be for Na'vi? Like Avatar's alone was a perversion of their species, but then if Ai/robotic looking Na'vi were made that could possibly mimic language perfectly and be essentially indestructible and numb to Na'vi(Because lets be real any Avatar with half a soul switches teams eventually) they would be beyond confused.

'Like the sky people who made fake bodies for themselves of our people, now have made fake our people people who only obey them and are not actually puppet sky people but some sort of monstrosity.'

like however you translate that into Na'vi.

Summary: When you are assigned by Tommy to go on patrol with Joel, things get out of hand and now you get to know the other side of Joel Miller.

Portuguese version:

Author's notes: My first Joel fanfic, I don't know how to think of a script well and I had this idea in the middle of nowhere. I hope you guys can enjoy reading it. I'm Brazilian, but I love writing in English. (Maybe because it reaches more people.) Well... that's it. Thank you!!

Content: f!reader, blood, Discussion, hopeful ending, description of violence, exaggerated description of injuries, profanity.

It's been a long time since you and Joel... well, if you can call them "you guys" have been fighting most of the time. Joel tried to make it very clear that you were not the person to blame for these arguments, since he was the one who was known for being a bit aggressive and too rude.

Since then, you have been avoiding each other.

Before, you spent most of your time together, spending hours and hours talking at Joel's house in Jackson. Now, you exchange egocentric glances. With deep emotions that you try not to spill over.

A few hours had passed since their last contact, not that it was a normal conversation, but exchanges of almost murmurs because they didn't know what to say to each other. Joel was rude, cold.

He knew he would hurt you, even if he didn't want to and didn't intend to, but he tried to force you to stay away, avoiding any conversation, any minimal interaction.

Now you found yourself drinking a glass of whiskey together with Tommy. The two of you had become closer than usual after the 'breakup' with Joel. He asked you daily if everything was okay, if you needed help. More robotic than empathetic, and you could tell. It wasn't worry, you thought, it couldn't be. For a frame, it crossed your mind that maybe Joel had sent Tommy to ask about you, how you were feeling.

He's not that careful, you answered your own intriguing thoughts as you took a burning sip of the whiskey in your hands.

The atmosphere inside the bar was pleasant, it was warm because the fireplace kept burning the remains and ashes of the logs of wood.

"You're quiet." Tommy took a sip of whiskey, the corner of his lips turning up a little. "Thinking about what?" His curiosity indirectly struck you, for three seconds he was so much like Joel.

You felt sickened by your own thoughts, pushing them away and burying them deep in your heart with disgust. Before responding as gently as possible, with a happy but fake smile.

"Nothing special. Speaking of which, today is my shift and no one has said anything about my patrol"

Tommy's expression darkened, his jaw tightening at the end of your words, and he swallowed the rest of the whiskey in his throat. His eyes tried to meet yours, but they always looked away.

"Today is also the Joel scale." His voice was more masculine now, seeming to try to drown out the tense atmosphere that had permeated there.

"So what? It's not like I mind living in the same environment as him." A deafening silence grew in the face of that situation, in the face of those words, until Ellie opened the door of that bar, removing the snow from her hood and large coat.

"Hey, damn. Are you guys going to keep this a secret in here? What a bummer. "

She sat down in the nearest chair, almost slouched, as if she was exhausted from having done so many things.

Your smile and Tommy's grew, Ellie always found a way to improve the mood between you, despite the situation that you and Tommy denied returning to again.

"Tommy, can I go on patrol with--" Ellie tried to finish speaking, looking into Tommy's eyes and letting the words come out in a more feminine voice than usual. She used this strategy to get what she wanted. And it never worked.

"No, Ellie." His voice was hoarse. "Maria and I were very clear with you about your disobedience on patrol."

"Damn it! You guys are always talking about this and that as if I were a child. I'm tired!"

"Ellie." Your gaze met Ellie's as she dared to raise her voice against Tommy. She knew she was crossing the line and acting childishly and you were going to rub it in her face. "Don't talk like that."

She rolled her eyes, getting up from her chair. "Whatever." Her only words sounded aggressive as she approached the door, ready to leave.

But an irresistible scent rose into the air, like a woody perfume. An instant scent that clung to his nostrils. Tommy stood up beside you, walking to the door. He greets Joel, giving him a gentle pat on the shoulder before leaving the two of you alone.

You also decided to stand up, staying in the same place but looking at Joel. The exchange of glances between you made a fire of emotions arise, the tension in the air was more than words could express.

There was something different about Joel, his eyes showed kindness, although his presence exuded responsibility and maturity. It was as if for a few moments he wanted to hug you and kiss you. And he really did.

"Can we go?" His voice was husky and deep, sounding a little too honest, getting straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"I need to get my backpack from my house." You said, blinking a few times to avoid looking into Joel's eyes.

He turned his back, opening the door, leaving you alone inside.

Riding your horses along the snow-covered road, you tried to pay more attention to the mission than to Joel, although it had become impossible with the uncomfortable conversation that you had a few minutes ago.

The heavy snowfall that fell there, together with the huge drop in temperature, made you shiver, searching for the smallest bit of heat that you could find in your clothes.

Joel noticed this, he didn't want to notice, because he knew he would have to take steps to protect you from the cold.

He got off his brown horse, holding the saddle with one hand and walked to a small house ahead. Joel has always been like this, becoming the leader of the situation because he has experience in it.

"Stay there." His words came out like an order and you could see it really was an order when he looked at you over his shoulder.

A few minutes had passed since he had entered the house, you had been waiting too long. This event was abnormal, he always warned seconds before the way was clear, or in the worst case scenario Joel would run and ask you to hide.

The silence was conflicting, your heart racing with each passing minute. The storm began to worsen. So you decided to disobey it, grabbing your own gun and going in.

The house was old, with the wood creaking with every step you took. The walls were worn, the furniture was covered in dust. The cold in that house was giving you goosebumps, it was worse than outside.

Suddenly, a gunshot echoed inside the house, coming from the second floor. You looked up the stairs, hesitating. Until you heard male groans of pain. All that was going through your head was the worst, had Joel been shot? So you ran as fast as you could. Gathering courage amidst the strong steps.

Opening the door quickly, His eyes only found Joel's body on the ground, a big strong man above him, trying to plunge a knife into Joel's eye. His hands were shaking from the way he had to push against the man.

Your first reaction was to shoot the man in the head, his brains and blood flew out of the window and onto the floor, spilling a few drops onto his knee.

Joel looked at you, his gaze instead of thanks or gratitude, was one of anger, his jaw hardened. He sat up, groaning in pain.

It was clearer now, you could see a knife stuck in Joel's stomach, you quickly knelt down beside him, trying to process what to do.

"Shit.." His voice came out as a deep, guttural groan. A vein stood out in his neck as he tried to hold the pain to himself.

"Joel, what do I do?" You blinked several times, nervous about what to do. You had only done some training with the first aid kit, but there wasn't even any medicine in this house. "Joel! Does it hurt a lot? What should I do?!" His moans only made her skin crawl, serving no purpose.

"Shut up, please." He begged, pulling the knife out of his stomach, blood dripping onto his plaid shirt.

You were left speechless at his words, slowly processing them. "Are you serious, Joel? Are you really trying to push me away under these circumstances?" Your indignation and disappointment showed on your face, you could barely fake it.

"I'm not doing that." He tried to get up, only to hit his back on the floor and groan once more.

"You're doing it! Lie down there, I'll find something to help you." His own voice came out shaky.

Joel shivered at your shaky voice, your sigh of despair. He was angry that you hadn't waited, but he was happy, even if he didn't show it, that you had saved him. He didn't want you to do this, the man you had just shot could very well have killed you and just the thought of it made Joel shiver once more. Now intense pain tore at his skin as reality crashed down on his back.

Looking at the cut, you can see a deep cut, which had torn the flesh and left a large hole, where blood would come out almost like a jet if he dared to move.

You ran into the house, looking for medicine and things to help Joel. But you couldn't find it and the damn store was at least twenty minutes away from where you were.

"Go away." Joel groaned the words, shaking in pain. You looked at him with a frown on your face and he didn't even bother to look at you. "Shit Y/n, do what I tell you to do." He was almost shouting now, anger boiling over.

You didn't want to answer and quickly ripped his shirt, leaving his abs strengthened (despite his age) sample. You saw his abdomen flex, hardening at the warm touch beneath your skin. To make matters worse, the cold hit Joel very hard, making him jerk.

Analyzing Joel's body, you remembered that Joel was carrying a flask of whiskey, well... alcohol. And that could help you sanitize Joel's wound.

"This is going to hurt." You placed his hand under your thigh, sighing before pouring some alcohol into Joel's deep cut, making him moan loudly."Fuck!" His moans were intense. He squeezed your thigh tightly, not caring if you felt pain or not, because you had placed his hand there.

"I know honey, I'm sorry. It's okay." You said as you tore another part of his shirt and stopped the blood that was coming out. He squirmed, his eyebrows furrowing. He stopped squeezing your thigh, even though it was in excruciating pain, instead he caressed it with his thumb, realizing he had used too much force.

Joel saw that you were doing your best, the burning sensation in your body was immense and he wanted to get out of that situation.

He looked into your eyes, blinking several times and frowning again, then deciding to get up. You pressed him to stay lying down, but he sat up anyway.

"Joel, what the hell? You can't just sit the way you are!" You said, holding his back. Only for him to slap your hand away, standing up with groans, putting on his coat, he had definitely gone crazy. You thought.

"Let's get out of here." You shook your head in disagreement, only to see him glare at you with hatred. "Obey me Y/n."

"I'm tired of you ordering me around, Joel! You're done! You're almost dead! And you just keep treating me like this, pushing me away like this! What the hell is wrong with you, you're going to die."

He looked at you wanting to hug you and kiss you, because he could tell you were worried about him. The way your eyes sparkled, the way you were trying to help him. He wanted to show that he loved being treated like that. But anger grew in his chest when he remembered that you had disrespected his orders, that you were fighting, or worse, that you weren't even talking.

"If you speak one more time, speaking as if I were a child, I leave you right here." Joel's ignorance cut deep into your heart, your emotions starting to surge.

"Maybe you should just die." You let it slip, Tears welling up in her eyes, her voice shaking, her fingers trembling from the cold and the situation.

You had lost all of Joel's warmth and at the same time, you accepted that Joel and you would never work out. He always closed his heart to you.

When Joel heard your words, his heart broke, he instantly regretted what he had done. He approached you, but you took steps back. Continuing to say: "If you want to die so badly, just die, Joel. But don't forget, you'll also end up killing me, Ellie, Tommy. And if that doesn't make any difference in your life, then that's fine."

After a few days of what had happened, Joel remembered exactly the way Y/n had looked into his eyes. The way she had opened up seemed like she had been keeping it in for a long time. You hadn't talked since that day and Joel noticed that you were becoming more and more distant, as if you had slipped through his fingers.

Every time you shared the same room, you either left the room at the same time he arrived, or you just stayed very far away from him. So far that he could barely smell your sweet colony.

He was gathering the courage to talk to you, plus Tommy was starting to charge Joel every day, saying he had to talk to you, he had to at least... apologize. He didn't want to admit he was wrong, actually, who does? Nobody likes that situation.

It was now dawn in the cold city of Jackson, where the snow was falling heavily and Joel stood shivering outside your house, knocking on the door.

You woke up to the sounds of knocking on the door coming from the first floor. 'Who could it be?' you asked yourself.

As you went downstairs, rubbing your eyes and wrapped in the blanket that dragged on the floor, you heard the sound of snow falling to the ground outside. Someone very brave braved this snow just to talk to you, that's what responsibility is. You laughed at the thought, opening the door.

You unfortunately let your smile slip from your face, your eyes widening when you saw Joel standing in front of your door, his hair full of snow and his clothes even worse.

"Can I come in?" He asked with those eyes. You wanted to shut the door in his face and tell him to go away. But you didn't, you heart racing with love spoke louder.

Your head nodded, he walked inside the house, taking off his shoes and snowy coat, stopping in front of you.

Silence fell between you, your heart burning for an answer, burning at the sight of him in front of you. For a small moment, you could see through his eyes the vulnerability. He let his shoulders slump as he realized you knew he was going to apologize. He stepped closer, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear.

Your reaction was to stand on your tiptoes, running your hand through his hair to brush away the snow that was there. He didn't smile, but you could tell you had a vague memory of a his smile.

"I'm sorry I treated you that way." His apology was sincere and you could tell he was trying hard. "Dear.. I.." He tried to put the words together, but he couldn't. And you had also gotten in his way, because you smiled like that and made his heart burn.

You quickly joined your lips, kissing Joel intensely, it wasn't a calm kiss, it was a kiss that contained need, a desire for more. A desire of days, of weeks.

He held your cheeks, sliding his hand until he reached your neck, his thumb caressing you.

You moaned between the kiss, trying to breathe, Joel seemed hungry to kiss you. He quickly, with impressive agility, picked you up, running his hand over your ass, Until he reached the back of your thigh, holding on tightly, not to hurt you, but to make sure you didn't fall.

He also moaned the words, gasping for air. "I love you." He said and you showered him with continuous kisses. Little kisses on the corner of his lips and forehead.

"I love you too."

Guiiiies I got a new bug and my other bugs started bullying him 😭

The Whirls are gonna make this drama show even worse 😩

[kalosian-woods]

clemont post-crisis really needs to be studied. but like also, so does everyone in kalos. clemont specifically i can see being really paranoid, cause even after taking back his gym and getting his invention and gym team back, it was taken away from him, right under his nose, the result being him losing his gym and soon, the city of light will fall with it.

so i can totally get why clemont would be really paranoid and overly cautious and prepared. but like geez man, this kid's rivals are full grown adults who just wish they could be as smart as him so they don't have to work, like wow.

the episode in general is so messed up in so many different levels, he was kidnapped, almost got mind controlled and after xerosic was put to jail, he immediately brushed it off like "okay! lets get back home now guys! :D" but like... what if we don't clemont. what if we talk about it. time to face another one of your fears-- addressing your feelings. your emotions. your thoughts.

(also not too mention, what happened to his gym team when team flare was taking over the tower??? did they get captured?? were they with clembot?? even then were they okay when clembot got destroyed? WHAT HAPPENED???)

-⚡ (yeah! i might talk about the other characters, mostly the gym leaders, elite 4, professor and his team, etc! i really like the pokemon league... especially the electric type leaders, they're so silly. from surge to volkner, to elesa, to clemont, to iono, we have such a wild variety of them.)

It's definitely the thing where everyone was affected by the Crisis in some way, but some had more of a role to play and thus took a harder hit with the whole situation (or at least should've). Clemont could've been semi-okay bar the fact that, y'know, Clembot as we knew it died (and also losing the Gym again), but then that episode had to happen and I'm at a loss. What did he do to deserve getting kidnapped after the whole ordeal??? I love how it's not even Ash going through the reprecussions because of Greninja/just being that OP or even Bonnie for having a connection with Zygarde, no, Xerosic felt so horrible about getting beat by a child back at a building he stole from said child so he felt the need to just control him instead. His priorities lol... (But even so, the fact that his whole Gym got taken away was probably one of the worst nightmares to him. He had so much trouble taking it back from a rouge invention and now it's happening again but the world is falling to pieces as well. Because of the device that is in his own Gym. The accountability he must've felt for it, undeserved as it was, must be crazy. If he wasn't already oerly-prepared before, you can bet your socks he's got an invention for every possible bad thing under the sun after the Crisis lol.)

But even with Clemont, he really did just brush it off so casually and that makes me even more worried, if that's even possible. He's so blase about everything that was happening around that fact. Weird man I met once (1) before in my life literally stealing me alongside a part of a Legendary Pokemon?? I'll just ask what's his buisiness and use my highly-specific anti-measure against his device that will cause me unimaginable amounts of pain. Same weird man who tried to control me trying to jump off the plane (in which who is steering this thing??)? Nah, I'll catch him and tell him to repent. Like I'm with Xerosic with this one, what is actually giving you your strength ability to move on so easily?? They watch that guy go to jail so casually lmao. And I get that the whole Squishy + Greninja thing happened right after, but was no one going to talk about it?? No??

I think, in a way, being controlled like that really parallels what happened with Clembot in the Crisis. The body is still there, but the memories, the feelings and decisions that can arise from that, can't be drawn from anymore. You are not you anymore. Xerosic aims to puppeteer him fully, denying him of any autonomy, and it's also so similar suto how Clemont sort of carried himself around before at the start too. He thought that he couldn't do both Gym stuff and being an inventor at the same time. He made an invention that looks like him to carry out the Gym Leader role of him (and now Xerosic wants to make him a tireless inventor at his beck and call). Clemont initially was very closed off and wasn't as interactive, and throughout this journey he had learnt to live as boldly as he ever could. And now, after everything that has ever happened, he was faced with the terrifying ordeal of losing that all over again. I think, maybe, he doesn't want to confront that reality, that he could've lost all of his freedom and his own autonomy and having to go through that alone, at that. There is no physical proof, after all. He does not 'have' to face it fully. The problem is solved, and so, to him, there is no use thinking about it. Not when the rest of Lumiose is still under heavy construction and he needs to be the beacon of hope and standing tall (just like Prism Tower, just like a Gym Leader would, just like everyone would expect from the inventor lighting up the world).

About his Gym Team, we do see Heliolisk with Clembot in the crisis, so I presume they're just always?? With Clembot?? Tbh the anime absolutely ignores the heck out of them at all times and I don't think we even see the Mags after the Gym Takeback (okay I checked the only other time is 'Battling With A Clean Slate'... yeah). But nooo, you've got me thinking about the death arghhh I would hope that the Pokeballs are durable, and also I am of the firm belief that Clembot would've at least tried to protect them to his very last moments. In the anime proper they're probably just all with Clembot for infinity times forever, which I guess isn't a terrible fate but also yeah. Sad. At least they're alive though???

[base0h]

Everyone usually just addresses him as Vlad. He prefers a less pretentious form of speech. He is also universally famous and infamous under the name Firebird and has something of a national ‘legend’ status as a result. Firebird refers to the mythical creature of the phoenix, which dies and rises again from its ashes. Vlad died three times during his time working for the police, the KGB and finally in the Secret Police for SovOil and was ‘resurrected’ through the wonders of technology.

Pronouns

He / Him 

Sexuality

Heterosexual

Hair Color and style

He has short black hair that is slowly graying and which he always wears neatly combed to one side. The sides of his head are shaved short. 

Eye Color

In the course of his life, he has had various optics, technology that was made available to him or that was prescribed for his job. He chose the current ones with the golden irises himself. They give him a rather demonic look, which is exactly what he wants to achieve. Fear. They also match the rest of the gold-coloured cyberware he owns, and he's a perfectionist and very keen to match everything.

Height

Something around 1,80 m

Body Type

Robot KEK - Most of his body is replaced by cyberware, but overall he is very athletic. He has full cybernetic arms, a Sandevistan, power legs, a thick layer of subdermal armor and the core piece of his enhanced body is an artificial heart.

He can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. If you only know him casually, e.g. his colleagues, you either get on quite well with him or find him completely obnoxious because he can be an arrogant arsehole. He is extremely good at his job, which is why he has climbed the career ladder relatively quickly, and he doesn't hold back in letting anyone who questions his abilities know that. In a social or private setting with people he is comfortable with, he is charming and polite. Simply a well-mannered businessman.  If you get to know him better, it is very likely that sooner or later you will discover the depths of his damaged psyche. Due to the many modifications and the fact that he was repeatedly brought back to life by his employers, he suffers from severe cyberpsychosis. His mind has split further with each of his deaths and this has left traces, or rather voices. Each of them has its own personality and endeavors to ‘help’ Vlad through life. One of them is a brutal and disturbed man who knows nothing but destroying and killing to protect himself. Another is an extremely cunning, but also judgemental and sometimes even contemptuous man who helps Vlad to function more or less normally, but condemns and verbally punishes him for many of his decisions. The last voice is that of reason, remorse and compassion, but it hardly ever gets a chance to speak, as the other two are far too dominant.  Accordingly, Vlad's moods are very different depending on which of his personalities is triggered and can change from one moment to the next. People he gets particularly close to, such as a love interest, will always learn this trait from him the hard way. 

Tattoos and/or Piercings

Nothing 

Any definable features such as: Birthmarks, Scars, Freckles, Beauty Marks, Accent when they talk, Lisp, Natural slurring of words, Walk with a subtle limp, ect.

The most remarkable thing about him is probably the amount of chrome he wears. If it weren't for that, you probably wouldn't be able to tell him apart from any other man in the corporate world. He has a small scar on his forehead from an ‘accident’ he had as a young boy, but it barely stands out from everything else that's been done to his body. 

Hobbies

He loves classical music and everything that goes with it in the broadest sense, such as concerts, ballet, opera and theater. He also enjoys listening to it at home or when traveling. His adoptive mother was a teacher of literature and linguistics and was able to teach her son several languages in the years before her death. As a result, he speaks fluent Russian, German, English and French and has been trying to expand his knowledge of these languages ever since. She also fuelled his existing interest in books and reading. In his youth he did a lot of athletics, which later became rather obsolete due to all the body modifications, and he quickly lost the ambition to achieve anything in this field when he entered professional life as a policeman. Two other things that fascinate him are wine, especially red wine, and perfume, which he collects and consumes with a passion.  Travelling is a hobby that he always shared with his mother, but which was somewhat forgotten after her death and a corresponding lack of time due to his work. His favorite places were the entire Mediterranean and countries such as the south of France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Morocco. For personal reasons, he has not traveled to many of these countries for over a decade, with the exception of France, where he is still invited by his best and probably only friend. 

Gang/Occupation {Mox, Max Tac, etc}

He is not in any gang but his allegiance belongs to SovOil and the Neo-Soviet-Union. Since he worked for the police and the KGB before joining the company, he has one hundred per cent connections to all possible Russian gangs. Connections from which he naturally benefits as the corrupt bastard that he is. 

Do they smoke?

Only occasionally in company. For example, when he is invited to dinner by colleagues and they usually sit together afterwards with a high-proof drink and/or cigars. He also likes to use smoking as part of his undercover work, as it makes him less conspicuous. A man who just sits in a café and stares in front of him is much more eye-catching than someone who simply enjoys a cigarette, for example. 

Do they drink? If so, what's their poison of choice?

He drinks, but only for pleasure. I headcanon that he can only get drunk with great difficulty or not at all anyway due to the many body modifications. His favorite drink is red wine, preferably Cabernet Sauvignon from France. 

What do they usually wear on a normal day?

A black shirt, with tie or without, suit trousers, some chic shoes. A heavy black coat if he needs to go outside, his two pistols hidden underneath in a harness. Casual corpo-guy look if you like. 

What do they wear when they "Get dressed up"? And what would be considered a "special occasion" to them {such as an "Oh they're gonna be there so I have to look my best." Or an "It's our anniversary".}

Since his normal attire is already what other people would wear if they get dressed up he simply chose higher quality fabrics for his clothes or extravagant brands. His favorite color is burgundy, although he rarely wears it in everyday life. He prefers accents or entire items of clothing in this color all the more when he is invited to dinner or goes to events in his free time. 

What do they smell like? {For example: they smell like cinnamon flavored liquor, cigarettes, leather, and motor oil.}

Like a floral-woody blend of jasmine, saffron, amber and cedarwood. Because these are the main scents of his favorite perfume Baccarat Rouge 540. If he wasn't wearing it, I would describe his fragrance as rather unsettling. Somehow artificial, metallic like copper or blood and somehow cold. Somewhat like you are standing in a cold storage (I can't describe smells holy shark.)

How do they walk? Do they sway their hips? Do they walk with a sense of determination? Do they bounce as they walk? Etc.

Overflowing with self-confidence and strength. Upright, elegant, sometimes very pretentious. But he is incredibly good at adapting to certain situations when he has to work undercover, and therefore changes his posture to blend in more credibly with his surroundings. 

Are they more of an early bird or a night owl?

A mixture of both. Since he doesn’t get tired really fast, he can stay up for at least a few days until exhaustion kicks in.  So night and day doesn’t have much relevance for him except if his job requires him to be present at a certain time. 

If you had to use one word to define them, what word would you use?

Broken

What words or catchphrases do they say that's unique to that character?

He doesn’t say it often, at least I will write it down only one time but a catchy metaphor he likes to use is: ‘Seems like neither heaven nor hell want to let me through its gates’, when asked how he feels about his resurrections. Would say that's kind of unique. 

Favorite Season

Summer

Favorite type of weather {Thunderstorms, sunny, etc}

Warm and sunny

Do they have someone they're with relationship-wise? If so, who?

He had a relationship with a mercenary called Ghislaine who lived in Tanger. He hasn't had a steady relationship since then, except with a young woman called Dasha from St. Petersburg, but it didn't last very long because no one could replace his ‘Gazelle’, as he liked to call her. 

Main Ship/Pairings

My main ship would be him and Ghislaine since it's the only impactful he ever had in my headcanon. I don’t have a name for it yet. 

Side Pairings

There are some AUs with friends who ship him with their OCs.

Favorite/Self-indulgent Pairings

Ship: 4ever_alone // Ship:he_doesnt_deserve_anyone // Ship: broken_psycho_searching_for_love_but_is_not_able_to_express_it // Ship: don’t_touch_this

How do they show affection to their loved one?

He was never really a very deeply sensible person. Of course he was very fond of his ‘one true love’, as he called her, but he always had problems showing or feeling much affection. This was probably due to the harsh living conditions he had grown up in, the rather cold way his adoptive parents treated him and the fact that his way of life was very different from hers. Therefore, his main means of showing affection were gifts, which were always expensive, to show the value the person has for him, and a lot of charming words and usual romantic gestures like kisses and all that. This didn't change when his emotional world completely shattered after his first death, but his affection is often questionable as to whether it's really sincere. He then acts extremely pushy, possessive and even abusive, which in his fucked up little mind is a way to show how much he cares. 

How do they sit in a chair?

It depends on where he is. At home: simply relaxed, letting go of all tension. When he's around people he needs or wants to impress, he sits very elegantly, upright, with his legs crossed - you know how posh, rich people sit in a chair. When he needs to assert his dominance, whatever the occasion may be in his working day, he makes himself tall/strong/terrifying, whatever, to intimidate those around him.

How do they sit in a chair {uncomfortable version}

He simply doesn't sit uncomfortable. 

What do they wear to bed?

Depends on how long he sleeps or how the circumstances are. It happens quite often that he just falls asleep in his regular attire sitting on his couch or wherever he’s resting while listening to his music. If he goes to bed on purpose he just wears his underwear. 

How do they usually sleep? {Side sleeper, back, fetal position, backwards, nest sleeper, blanket mountain, etc}

Straight on his back, hands tightly folded on his stomach, legs sometimes crossed. If it occurs he has some of his night terrors he switches a lot and a few times he even sleep walks. 

How do they sleep in a place they don't know? {Can't due to anxiety, in small bursts of sleep that are short lived, holding themselves, etc}

If he sleeps then only at home or in hotels or whatever and that doesn't make any difference for him. If necessary he does short power naps wherever he feels safe enough to let his guard down for a few minutes even if his senses are on alert the whole time. 

Do they have to have a form of "white noise" in order to sleep? {The sound of a fan, the sound of rain, the sound of a city, etc}

I think he has enough “white noise” in his head already. He doesn’t need more distracting stuff that keeps him from resting. Though I can imagine he listens to some of his favorite classic music before going to bed to soothe his mind.

What's a place they go to feel comfortable, that's their "spot" they always go when they're upset?

Considering that his head is 99% of the reason why he gets upset in the first place, it sounds odd when I say that he also takes refuge there to calm down. Whenever the voices in him get too loud and provocative he turns on his music to silence them. This is the only way, as he found out after a while, to keep his thoughts from drifting and to keep a clear mind. at least for a short time. His surroundings don't play a role, it's more about what's happening inside him. 

What do they do when they're nervous? {Fidget with jewelry, pick at nails, bite nails/lips, play with knife/zippo lighter, etc}

He’s a high functioning psychopath so he knows how to mask unfavorable emotions quite well. If he’s highly upset and he can hardly contain the voices screaming in his head he tends to get nervous ticks like a twitching eye, shaky hands or trying to soothe ‘the pain’ like a headache by pressing the usual energetic points such as the temples or the bridge of the nose or by taking a few deep breaths. 

What is their "tell" for lying?

He knows how to use words as effectively as any other weapon. You can't really tell if he's telling the truth or lying, no matter what he does. 

What is their favorite color?

Burgundy

Favorite flower/plant

Wolfsbane

Favorite sweet of choice

He is not a person who generally eats a lot, especially nothing that’s only “for pleasure” like something sweet. He has his wine kink for that. His favorite fruit is pomegranate. It's sweet, so I would go for that answer. 

Do they have any pets? If so, tell me about them

No he doesn’t have any pets. If so I’d see him as a dog person. 

What are their triggers {If they have any}? If so, what calms them down?

He has a rather disturbed attitude towards romantic relationships. He killed his girlfriend and great love Ghislaine after a series of unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances to which both probably contributed. It also happened shortly after Vlad had died for the first time and the extremely experimental technology that had kept him alive since then had taken its toll on his psyche. The event traumatized him for the rest of his life and since then he has found it very difficult to have a normal romantic relationship as he can no longer trust anyone and has lost almost all forms of sincere affection. Accordingly, everything that slightly reminds him of the day and the reason why his relationship ended back then is a huge trigger. And pity to those who have to experience one of his episodes. Another trigger is his father. He gave his son a lot of freedom when he was young. He allowed him to go his own way, even though he actually wanted Vladimir to work for SovOil like himself as soon as he was an adult. After watching his son die due to a few missteps, he decided to take his life into his own hands by ensuring that he was brought back from the dead, much to his mother's regret. Even though she had a rather cool relationship with her son, she was always the more caring part of the family. And she is a strong advocate of the movement that cyberware is something bad and cruel. Seeing her son as a walking corpse broke something in her, which is why she fell seriously ill and died just a few months later. The relationship between Vlad and his father had been very difficult ever since. On the one hand, he blamed him for his mother's death, but he was also ultimately the one who had given him back his life and ensured that he continued to be “improved” with more and more technology, which fueled the side in him that is hungry for power. However, he also has extremely high expectations of his son and does not hold back in showing him contempt when he is unable to fulfill them. Accordingly, every encounter with him is a severe test.  His third trigger is the memories he has of the events that led to his death. He can’t remember every single detail of them but enough to fall in a very tense state of mind every time he’s getting into a similar situation. His last trigger and basically the only reason I created him at all is Aon. He was tasked with hunting her down after she escaped from Moscow and, in the best case scenario, bringing her back to face punishment. However, this task turned out to be impossible, which put him in a situation where he could only report his failures over and over again, which after a few years raised doubts about his abilities and took a huge toll on his ego and reliability. Whenever he set off to a new attempt to catch her you really don't want to be one of the poor souls who have to accompany him on that task. 

If they could visit anywhere in the world, where would they go and why?

There are two places, but he only visits one of them more or less regularly. The place he is desperate to visit again is Tanger in Morocco, because that's where he met his Ghislaine and spent some of the best moments of his life with her. But if he were to return there, it would trigger him insanely. At least he is aware of that. The second place he likes to visit is Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where his best friend Roy invites him at least once a year during the ‘Fête du Beaujolais Nouveau’. Their connection is very special to him because he can talk to him about all his interests and they both keep out of each other's work and love lives, so there's nothing to really bother him. It's a carefree time where it feels like a lot of weight is falling off him. Of course, they sometimes meet up in Moscow or wherever their schedules coincide, but the time in France is always very special for him.  

What is their favorite comfort meal?

I know I said he doesn't like sweets, as in candy or such but his favorite food is Apple Strudel. His adoptive mother used to make it every week fresh and the smell of cinnamon and warm pastry are a fond memory for him. 

Do they have a food they hate?

Anything that's incredibly bland, stale or cheap. It reminds him of the “food” they had to eat in the orphanage and he’d rather forget everything about that time.

What is their favorite {non-alcoholic} drink?

The tears of his enemies. Probably just water or any fancy cyberpunkish drink with supplements that keep his tech running. 

What are their plans for the future {if they have any}?

He's so deep in the corporate world that his only plan is to continue climbing the career ladder. Apart from that, at a certain point he is so dissociative that it doesn't even occur to him to plan far ahead. For him, almost everything takes place exclusively in the present, at least as far as his private life is concerned, and he has no one at his side, except perhaps his best friend, who could give him a glimpse of something else. 

What's a song that "fits" them?

If I had to choose a theme song for him it would be Du hast kein Herz. 

Give me 5 facts/random bits of information about them

- His guns are called “Dies irae” and “Ab imo pectore” - The voices in his head have a very specific tone so that he can distinguish between them. The one that literally drives him mad, that makes him lose all control, sounds like his own but is heavily distorted. It sounds like an artificial entity and is often nothing more than a deep growl. The second voice, which is more commanding and judgemental towards him, sounds like his father. So whenever he is near his real father, as he is still alive, the voice either falls silent or he has to try very hard to distinguish which voice is the one in his head and the one in real life. The third voice, which he unfortunately never gets to hear in my headcanon or only perceive as a faint whisper, is again his own, but has the tone of voice and choice of words of a young and innocent boy.  - The only person he would describe as his one true friend is Elroy Vincennes - His favorite piece of music is Mozart’s Lacrimosa  - In rare moments of clarity he hates every little bit of tech that’s in his body

Give me their backstory {can be long, or brief.}

Vlad lived the first 8 years of his life in an orphanage in St. Petersburg before he was adopted by a wealthy couple and grew up to be a well-mannered corporate boy. As soon as he was old enough he got a job in the police force, shortly after completing his training he was given the opportunity to work in the KGB due to his outstanding skills, but this proved to be his undoing. A botched mission cost him his life which, unfortunately, was not the end for him. His father, a high-ranking member of the SovOil corporation, ensures that his son is revived by experimental technology and kept alive from then on by an artificial heart. The psychological consequences that this procedure and many others that followed had on Vlads psyche played a minor role for everyone involved. They saw the potential he carried within him and did not hold back from using it to their advantage. Since then, Vladimir, like his father, has worked for the mega-corporation for the Secret Police and has taken care of the interests of his employers in countless missions, most of them under cover.  In the mid-2050s, he met a young woman named Alyona for the first time, who kept him on the run across the country for a long time just a few years later and arguably became his greatest nemesis. 

Free Space! Give me any sort of extra information about them you'd like to share

It's been a wild ride creating this man. From the first draft in my head, where he only existed to be Aon's antagonist, to now, where I have to admit he's grown on me a lot, even though he's still a terrible guy. But I'm a sucker for the morally gray, he's definitely on the dark gray side, but the character development he's gone through in the last few months has just been insane and he's gained a lot of depth.

[katsmtmsdoodles]

do you have any fun facts about your characters?

(no spoilers pls just silly things 😜)

They're all too depressed so it took me months to actually figure out if they have any moments of whimsy 😭😭

• Captain Hutchins does not shower ever. He only takes baths. Shadowspire's lack of showers totally worked out for him. He always uses rose scented bath bombs and puts candles out. It's his only me-time. He watches the Ninjago version of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. during this time and only this time.

• Lloyd and Kai went to the beach and Lloyd played beach volleyball and built a sand castle. Kai turned it into a glass castle and every kid on the beach instantly thought Lloyd was the most incredible person ever. They showed as much by burying him in sand. Kai did not help Lloyd dig himself out because he was too busy laughing at him.

• One time Skylor and Kai got sent to the dungeons at the same time and it was sad blah blah blah but also they taught themselves how to beat box when they were left alone for however many hours. While on missions together, Skylor will be beat box the song they made up and Kai pretends to be annoyed. He's not.

• Ash getting sent to the arcade on his birthday by Kai's fake mission is now canon in my heart.

• Ash is also a dog kid. He wants a puppy so bad but he can't get one 'cause he's never home and he's afraid his mom will forget it exists and accidently let it starve 💀

• Brad likes to sing! He only got to see his mom during visitation days growing up, but she is the type to know entire musicals worth of show tunes. He grew up singing with her (: His friends are embarrassed to go grocery shopping with him because he sometimes has no shame lol. Gene once tried to knock him out with a ladle in the appliance aisle and Tommy tackled him before Brad could notice. He was mid-way through the Ninjago equivalent of Hamilton 😭

• Zane figured out he was a robot in this AU when a BorgTech microwave accidentally connected to his Bluetooth.

• Before Lloyd's First Trauma, he begged his dad enough to let him into Shadowspire's battle pit that Garmadon caved. The pit was then filled with actors with fake blood packets that they burst when they 'died'. That's the real reason the pit sand was the color red and not brown. They never managed to wash out the paint and just acted like it was for an edgy reason. Lloyd made everyone call him 'Pit Champion' for weeks and REFUSED to respond to his name.

• After Kai's 'death,' Zane started making his food a lot spicier because Nya like it that way and he was trying to comfort her. However, Cole and Jay never complained for that reason and Zane eventually forgot that it wasn't the usual. Now, Zane's food is nearly impossible to eat and the ninja have just grown immunity to spice lmao.

• After Cole was born, Lou and the Blacksmiths wrote out a couple of routines where the punchline was that there was just a random baby on stage with them the entire time. It was a hit, but they had to stop doing it when Cole was 4 months old because he was such a huge baby, they stopped being able to hold him for the length of the performance.

[stellar-collective]

Ok so in your matchstick au what if Ollie has never joined Zoraxis, and Roxana never left the agency (or worked for Zoraxis and then left)? What if Ollie proved to be an amazing field agent, sneaking in and out undetected, as much stealth and control as Matchstick does sheer destruction. He shines especially bright in retcon, though he can knock out a few operatives if he needs be, he doesn't leave a trace, and earns the code name Phoenix for how he always rises above the ashes. When Handler Prism thinks she's lost him at last, he'll slide out of the vents with that slightly sky smile and sneak out like cobra on fire.

Roxana didn't aspire to be a handler, but after so many agents coming to you for how to dismantle several types of bombs, what kind of electronic they'd seen in the field, or how to best take down one of Zoraxis' newest robots, the agency started to take notice, and put her on a trial run with a rookie agent who seemed to have more nerves than training. But as she led him through a mission, she was able to guide him exactly through what he oughtn't touch, and to her surprise he was pretty darn good at following through on exactly what she meant, even improvising when the situation called for it, though admitted it wasn't his strong suit, that was why he was sent on retcon missions mostly, where everything was quiet, and he could blend into the shadows as well a bird in the night.

Srry for ramble, I am unwell about this au

ooh, i do like the idea of an au where Ollie is a field agent and Prism ends up being his handler a lot!! Ollie has a lot of the same quirks that make Phoenix such a great agent (he treats danger just as casually as they do and seems unable to be fazed by literally anything) so i think that it definitely has potential! although… i’d perhaps suggest that alongside recon, Ollie’s thing is that he’s a bizarrely adept negotiator and has turned several Zoraxis operatives to the Agency’s side. might be more fitting to call him Agent Siren the way he keeps stealing away both people and valuable information!

i actually already have the vague storyline for the rest of the games mapped out in my head for the Matchstick AU, though; like @blueorchid-95 suggested on my original post, Reginald’s betrayal leads to the Agency being FAR more willing to embrace Roxana’s perfectly obedient robots and thus she stays with them and remains the main antagonist for the third game (though she’s a good guy this time!)

but this isn’t a complete role reversal au! Ollie (and Juniper too… sort of.) both still join Zoraxis, things just play out a little differently for them! i’m still working out the details but at the very least, know that Matchstick and Ollie do get forced into working together and Matchstick has NO idea how to handle being around someone as nice as he is. they may or may not end up having to escape the underwater lab together after one of Prism’s robots crashes the party… who’s to say?

[shadow-laviko]

Thing no one asked about

I've been thinking a lot today

And I want to give my opinion about what I think Rain Code characters smell like

(Also interested in hearing what you guys think)

Spoilers for chapter 0... and maybe chapter 5 actually

Bonus point : I tend to mistake scent and smell, so, might use both, sorry in advance

So,

Yuma : Smells like the plastic of rainboots/rain coat + faint flowery smell of the likes of roses (no specific one) or lavender

Shinigami : Smells like dusty feathers and strawberry candies, or something sweet maybe vanilla too

Aide (Fake Zilch) : While impersonating Zilch : Cologne and some faint blend of animal smells (like rodents, cat litter or dogs... maybe especially rodents). While himself : maybe cologne, and a faint smell of blood and gun powder (maybe also dirt but hmm not sure about this one)

Melami : Makeup and luxury perfumes

Pucci : Laudry mostly

Aphex : Either cologne or strong deodorant for men + faint scent of sweat

Zange : Paper/ink, and cigar and cologne

Swank : Cigar and I can't think of anything else

Yakou : Cigarettes of course, and maybe some food smell of some kind + some kind of sea smelling shampoo/shower gel

Halara : Rain coat/rain boots and maybe some catnip to attract cats + maybe sakura blossom shower gel

Fubuki : Pink rose and some type of wood like pine maybe... or cinnamon

Vivia : Ashes/dust and books/papers

Desuhiko : Depending of whether he's on a case or not. If on a case : a blend of laundry, makeup, perfume and cologne. If not on a case... Some neutral deodorant and that specific smell from clothes you wear often. You know the one? It's not stinky, it just has a distinct scent, even when clean

Priest : Wax and something else like maybe... I don't know, something strong but not agressive

The other 3 from chapter 1 (not counting the boy and his dad) : Idk. Maybe cookies or apple pie for the Servant

Seth : Dirt and a blend of flowers like daisies or something (lilac?)... Maybe daisies and lemon actually

Martina : I don't really know, perfume and something else?

Yomi : Cedar wood and leather (maybe cologne too)

Kurumi : Laundry and either vanilla or orange blossom water

The other Aetheria girls : I don't really know, I feel like Waruna would smell like a specific shampoo, (but I can’t figure out which one), maybe makeup for Yoshiko and pomegranate shower gel for Kurane

Shachi : Sweat and idk, maybe coffee, or motor oil

Ikari : The specific smell of swimming cap and stagnating water

Servan : Same as Desuhiko, the smell of clothes you wear often

Margulaw : Old wooden furnitures/antiquities + that old people smell

Iruka : Salt (for some fucking reason ???) and gunpowder or motor oil

Guillaume : Bubblegum and books/papers/cards, and rainboots/ rain coat

Dominic : Hard to explain and can be different for everyone, but, I'd say he smells like that old plushie you've had since your childhood

Fink : no idea

Huesca : Similar to the smell there is at an hospital/at the doctor

Akira (The robot guy) : The smell of a tech shop / of... you know when you open a box with your new TV/computer/phone/console/electronic device? Well, that one. And maybe tea of some kind

The Ramen Stand Owner : Well, ramen (I know there are different kinds, so like, either a blend of many kinds, or just the most basic one)

Makoto : Lavender for sure, and enigma. I don't know how to describe it, but an enigma/mystery has some kind of smell (not the words, the idea/phenomenon in itself). Or maybe it's like the mood an enigma sets, which somehow kinda transposes into a scent? Idk how to describe it... + maybe some conditioner

The previous Amaterasu CEO : Idk, rich man something, like whisky or tobacco or cologne, idk, the kind of things tou think about when you picture a CEO in your mind

Did I forget anyone? I don't know

🔵 Kodaka BlueSky Q&As: Misc Rain Code & Other Questions

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Please be advised! Translations of all Japanese answers derive from a combination of Google Translate and my manager's three-quarters-remembered Japanese. We've tried our best to work out what he's saying, but there will be mistakes here and there. Do not take this as gospel!

To avoid spreading too much misinfo, where we're completely boggled about an answer, we've decided not to even make an attempt. We'll still list the post, but mark it accordingly.

💕 FEBRUARY 2024:

Q: While I'm at it, could you please tell me where to send fan mail for Rain Code and Danganronpa?

A: Please send it to Spike Chunsoft.

/////

Q: What's your favorite furikake?

A: The ashes of the dead.

NOTE: Furikake is a type of Japanese seasoning. Kodaka is a weird guy.

/////

Q: Is it okay to send a New Year's card to Too Kyo [Games] as a fan letter to you?

A: That's fine. I'll watch for it.

/////

Q: Can I send a birthday present for a character to the company?

A: Please send it to Spike Chunsoft!

/////

Q: Please tell us what games you've played! What movies and shows have you watched? What books, manga, and comics have you read? What media have you consumed?Please tell us! We want to know what are your inspirations. I don't know what media I should consume. And we all want to know more about you!

A: I am inspired by all kinds of games, comics, novels and movies. I used to work part-time in a video game store. I love Tarantino.

/////

Q: Do you have a favorite line or phrase from Danganronpa or Rain Code?

A: When I search for "Danganronpa quotes" and look back at the lines that come up, I think, "This is a great line!" For Rain Code, it's any line that Shinigami-chan says that helps Yuma get back on his feet!

/////

Q: Sorry for the second question! I have a lot of questions about Rain Code, but I'm hesitant to ask them here because it would be a total spoiler for the main story... I'd love to have the opportunity someday to ask questions with full spoilers OK. Are there any plans for that at the moment?

A: That sounds great. I'd love to do it. But I don't think I'd be able to reveal spoilers openly unless it's a real event.

/////

Q: Excuse me for the second question!! Previously, there was a Danganronpa collaboration with Identity V, but are there plans for a Rain Code collaboration...!!!!!

A: We would really appreciate it if you could send a persistent message to Identity V!

/////

Q: I'm sorry it's not Danganronpa or Raincode... I love both series, and I'm really looking forward to the release of Tribe Nine. I have a question about Tribe Nine. Sonoda from the Oota Tribe could kill Haneda at any time, even though he has murderous intent towards him, so why does he keep him alive by just beating him up until he's on the verge of death? Also, why is Sonoda the only one who is a little better dressed (in a suit and tie) than the other members?

A: When it comes to Tribe Nine, to be honest, Akatsuki has a much higher weight than Too Kyo Games, so only Akatsuki can answer that question...!

NOTE: Akatsuki is the company publishing the upcoming Tribe Nine game.

/////

Q: Are there any other Rain Code characters besides Dr. Robot that are favorites of Mr. Komatsuzaki? Also, I would like to know more about Mr. Komatsuzaki and would like to see more media exposure for him.

A: Basically, I think they are all my favorites. I'm very particular about it, and I've made many drafts over the years. But I'm sure ramen store owners would love him [Akira].

NOTE: We're pretty sure "Dr. Robot" is the character listed as "Akira" in the credits, but we're not 100% certain. Also, Komatsuzaki is the artist behind Danganronpa and Rain Code.

/////

Q: What is your favorite foreign movie?

A: Tarantino!!

/////

Q: Is there ever a character that you liked so much that you thought it would be a shame to kill them off, but you still ended up killing them anyway?

A: On one hand, I want to get to know them better. If the character isn't well-defined enough to the point where I want to get to know him or her better, there's no point in letting him or her die… So, I let them die while wishing I could depict more of them.

/////

Q: Mr Kodaka, can I please ask another question? Persona 3 RELOAD came out recently. Have you played it yet? Did you play the original Persona 3, including Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable? Have you played all of the Persona games, including the spinoffs? Are you a fan of the Persona series?

A: i have played all the persona series, from 1 to 5. I haven't played any of the spin-offs though, I'm waiting for the release of 6.

🍀 MARCH 2024:

Q: How did you and Mr. Komatsuzaki meet and start working together?

A: We met in the smoking area at work.

/////

Q: Please tell me how to cook delicious rice🍚

A: Mannan rice is great for dieting.

NOTE: Mannan rice is a (usually) microwavable kind of rice that's part konjac (you know, the thing Kirumi has trouble cutting). It's low-calorie. The joke here is probably that Kodaka doesn't cook, he makes things in the microwave. Relatable, really.

/////

Q: What are your favorite indie games? Have any indie games inspired and/or influenced your own games and works? If so, what are those indie games that inspired you as a creator? Are there any indie games that you recommend we should play? Or what indie games should more people play in general? 🙏 🙏 🙏

A: If Hotline Miami is an indie game, it is Hotline Miami. I love it the best.

/////

Q: Can I please ask another question?🙏 I really enjoyed watching Akudama Drive, so I would like to see the concept art and character and setting materials, but I don't know where to find them. I especially want to see drawings by Rui Komatsuzaki, Cindy H. YAMAUCHI and the staff. Is there a book? 📖

A: The artwork for Akdamadrive has not been released. Maybe not much is made in the case of the animation. Please submit a request to Studio Piero for Komatsuzaki and Cindy's designs, as well as Kansai's designs, which are awesome!

/////

Q: i'll ask another! piggybacking off another question on here, what games have you been playing recently? what games are you excited for coming out in the future?

A: I've been too busy lately to play games. I want to play cruel games.

/////

Q: I love games with interesting stories like Danganronpa and Raincode, but Mr. Kodaka, who writes the scenarios for such interesting games, is there a game whose story you thought "this wowed me!"?

A: Resident Evil Code Veronica, FF7, and Killer 7 are fun. When I first played Persona 3, I thought that Megaten [Megami Tensei] killed it.

/////

Q: if you had a forte which would you want to have? i want to have desuhiko’s disguise

A: me too!!!!!!

🥬 APRIL 2024:

n/a

🌺 MAY 2024:

Q: Are there any plans to make a Happy Rain Code where the train incident never happened?

A: I'm sure Melami would solve the first clock tower case. No, she won't wear those clothes…

NOTE: A reference to the flashy clothes you find in Melami's room during the first case.

/////

Q: Mr. Kodaka, you often respond to illustrations drawn by your fans on Twitter, but do you also watch the hand-drawn videos that your fans post on YouTube?

A: I don't watch YouTube because it takes a long time. I can see the pictures right away [on Twitter], so I just respond to the pictures and hope that people who like them will follow me.

/////

Q: Which do you prefer, liberal arts girls or science girls?

A: I like both!

/////

Q: Was Mr. Kodaka a super high school level film director when he was in high school?

A: During my time at university and as a part-time worker afterwards, I was a really low-achieving film director.

☀️ JUNE 2024:

Q: I have a question about the world of Rain Code. I heard that there are about 1000 super detectives in the world of Rain Code, but are there detectives with the same abilities and titles?

A: There are similarities, but no exact matches.

/////

Q: Regarding Raincode's special detective abilities. In the story, it was stated that if one acquired special detective abilities during his two-year training period, one would be registered as a super detective. If one were to express an ability that could be considered a special detective ability while working as a regular detective, would one be re-registered as a super detective?

A: Abilities often depend on innate talent, but that's a possibility.

/////

Q: Is it decided how old the characters in works such as Danganronpa and Raincode are? If so, how old are they?

A: Of course, Danganronpa is mostly in their teens. Raincode has a wide range, but even Yakou is in his 30s.

NOTE: This is kind-of hilarious, because I'm pretty sure it's canonically stated Yakou is actually in his late 20s...in something that Kodaka himself wrote. I'll have to go find evidence.

/////

Q: Why do you have so many cats in your work?

A: Because Komatsuzaki likes cats. I like dogs.

NOTE: Komatsuzaki is Kodaka's usual artist. He's worked on Danganronpa, Rain Code, and the upcoming The Hundred Line.

/////

Q: There have been various spinoffs for Raincode and Danganronpa, but can we assume that the interpretations and character settings discussed in these spinoffs are official?

A: I'm not sure about the official take [from Spikechun], but if you enjoy it, enjoy it, and if you don't want to accept it, don't accept it. I think it's all up to the player's freedom.

NOTE: By "spinoff," this probably means the anthology mangas, light novels, audio dramas, etc.

🎇 JULY 2024:

Q: Do Rain Code and Danganronpa take place in the same world? Do any of your games and works have a shared universe with another? Or are they all separate? 🤔 💭 I'm asking because I just had a dream about Rain Code today!

A: I won't make a clear statement. I am not sure what will happen in the future. Anyway, please spread the Rain Code around the world.

/////

Q: Can I change my clothes before changing into the Final Defense Academy uniform in Hundred Line? I like the original clothes because they are so unique... Or do you wear uniforms only during battles?

A: We'll give you more details later, but they usually wear casual clothes and change into their uniforms when they fight!

NOTE: I'll start a Hundred Line section when the game comes out next year. For now, I'll put Hundred Line questions in here or in Game Development.

🌭 AUG 2024:

Q: What percentage of people in the world of Rain Code have special abilities? I wonder if most people have the ability to do something like "ordinary psychometry" like Halara did in the past.

A: No, it's still rare. I guess it's about as rare as Devil Fruit users.

🍁 SEPT 2024:

Q: The specific ages of most of the characters in Danganronpa and Rain Code have not been revealed, but is there a reason for this?

A: I thought age was an unnecessary filter.

🎃 OCT 2024:

Q: The collaboration between Kodaka and Ryukishi07 hasn't happened yet. Why?

A: Collaboration won't work unless there is a good amount of compatibility and compromise.

NOTE: Ryukishi07 is the pen name of the author who created the When They Cry VN series.

/////

Q: In The Hundred Line there is a girl with a tomato head. Who was the one who suggested that character, Kodaka or Komatsuzaki?

A: I told him to imagine a pumpkin, but that would be too Halloween-like, so Komatsuzaki made it a tomato.

/////

Q: There are supposed to be 16 playable characters in Final Defense Academy, but only 15 members are known at the moment. Does this mean that more members will be added along the way?

A: Hawawa…!

NOTE: "Hawawa" is an expression of surprise, rendered as "はわわ." I believe it's typically considered cutesy and feminine, which is why, if I recall correctly, Usami/Monomi uses it a lot. Regardless, I think this poster stumbled across something Kodaka didn't think people would notice!

/////

Q: Do you prefer girls with high or low voices?

A: Hmm, both are cute.

/////

Q: You said before that Rain Code was inspired by Tim Burton. Was Shinigami based on Beetlejuice? Also, have you seen the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice? Or have you watched Wednesday on Netflix? Or which Tim Burton films exactly inspired Rain Code?

A: I referred to some kind of atmosphere. I didn't refer to it that clearly.

/////

Q: If your allowed to answer this question, is the girl in the middle originally Takumi? Or is it the boy on the top right?

A: She became a character named Shizuhara.

[The art in question:]

/////

Q: What's the story behind the Guren 5 manga? How did you come to work together with Yuuki Kodama? I read all the issues, and I was very impressed with both of your talents displayed in the work!

A: I miss it..!

🦃 NOV 2024:

Q: Why don't Rain Code characters get birthday comments and tweets like Danganronpa characters? Many fans have spent time and money to send gifts to Spike Chunsoft to celebrate their birthdays. So please, can you write comments for them too? 🙏

A: I want to write them, but it would interfere with my work. It's hard to even write comments just for the Danganronpa characters. I haven't been asked to do it as a job, so I can't ask the staff to help me. I've already started Danganronpa, so I'll continue as long as the gifts keep coming, but it would take courage to start Rain Code in the same way. If Spike Chunsoft would at least ask me to do it as a job, I could get the staff to help me.

/////

Q: There are five members of the Special Defense Forces at the Final Defense Academy who are not in the first classroom. Is it a coincidence that the gender ratio of the members is biased? Also, why are those five not there from the beginning?

A: That's a good question! The story starts off differently from Danganronpa.

/////

Q: I understand. Thank you for dedicating so much time to composing the Danganronpa character birthday tweets! And, even if you can only retweet for the birthdays of Rain Code characters, we deeply appreciate it and are grateful to you! Should I send gifts to TooKyoGames for The Hundred Line birthdays?

A: If you give it to Aniplex, I think they will collect it! Please love them!

/////

Q: Is there any significance to her wearing a different outfit than the other students?

A: That's a good question. I can't answer

[The "her" in question:]

/////

Q: Have you decided on each character's dominant hand?

A: When it's necessary for a trick. I don't want to discriminate against people based on their handedness!

/////

Q: Mr Kodaka, you said before that for the music of Rain Code, you made Masafumi Takada listen to music from the soundtracks of detective dramas. May I ask what the names of those dramas are? I would like to watch and listen to them as well!

A: [A link to this song on YouTube.]

/////

Q: Mr Kodaka, do you listen to the rapper duo Insane Clown Posse? Someone noted Darumi Amemiya resembles a Juggalo, that is, a fan of Insane Clown Posse? I know the Mystery Phantoms in Rain Code were based on KISS, but is there any influence from Insane Clown Posse or Juggalo subculture in Amemiya?

A: “I wasn’t aware of it at all.”

/////

Q: Mr Kodaka, what is your dog's name and gender? Rui Komatsuzaki drew them in Zilch Alexander's character art, and you post about them sometimes on Twitter and Instagram. Sorry, I don't want to be intrusive or anything, I was just curious for the past few years. Thanks for understanding! 🙏

A: He is a male Shih Tzu named Ritz.

/////

Q: Mr Kodaka, SIREI and NIGOU are described as robots, but are they sentient AIs (Artificial Intelligences) or are they remotely controlled by another person or persons?

A: It’s one of the mysteries revealed throughout the game.

/////

Q: So when will we learn more about the Special Defense Unit? Like when will we get some new names? Or a sneak peek of their personalities? Or is all of this Aniplex’s decision?

A: About 100 days before the release, the mysteries are revealed all at once.

🎄 DEC 2024:

Q: In Akudama Drive, Swindler cuts her hair near the end of the series. And back in Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, you originally intended for Kirigiri to cut her hair but couldn't work it into the narrative. Was Swindler cutting her hair a reference to this canceled plot point? Or was it a reuse?

A: It is an expression of the moment when she became hungry, an idea of director Taguchi.

/////

Q: Kodaka-san, which of Uchikoshi Kotaro's works do you like the most? I recently started playing "ZERO ESCAPE: The Dilemma of Time" and it's really fun!

A: Hmm, Punch Line

/////

Q: Why did you decide to get a Shih Tzu out of all the dogs available?

A: I like their faces.

/////

Q: If Fubiki's Forte comes from Life Is Strange, Zange is modeled on Snake, and Vivia's Forte derives from Murdered: Soul Suspect. Are there any inspirations behind Desuhiko, Yuma, or other Detectives' Fortes? Or inspo behind any other characters? I know about Alice: Madness Returns, Control, and Eva

A: I have taken inspiration from Alice Madness Returns, Control, and Life is Strange.
