[thunderjackal]

God I love hapless confused but trying toddler dad Dionysus

Me reading pjo for the first time and getting pulled out of burnout by a deadbeat (but kinda not really) dad and his quiet love for his sons:

In fact, they’d found sweet FA, as Dru’s friend Kit liked to say. He’d been living in England for the past three years and had developed a whole new set of idioms, which Dru enjoyed teasing him about.

as am sobbing over glamrock bonnie again I want this plushie so bad… he’s so cute like look at him…

dinners in the founder family (Ephywephy) household must be so chaotic. This isn’t even about the drama of the ml generation, I just mean the meals where the entire family gets together under one roof must be so lively and loud and full of kids running around and there’s all sorts of gossip about so and so’s latest business endeavours and discussions about the latest mark of mastery results and one of the adults is telling their kids “no keyblades at the table!!!” and everyone’s taking turns cooing over the baby and someone burns the casserole so bad all of Scala can smell the smoke for days

And grandpa Ephy loves every second of it because this is his family and this is their world and they get to choose how they want to live their lives

i was skimming a blood drive stream (mostly looking for ayushiki crumbs, it's been a while) and was reminded of one of the best interactions in the franchise

[sleepy-crypt1d]

going a little insane thinking about that one echo in moxxi's heist that's jack calling his mom on mother's day- a call she very much does not answer- and how much the sadness in his voice when saying goodbye says about him

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

ok so there's a lot I could comment on here but honestly just.

what the fuck.

Hmmm, how about 29 - Control with Zane?

It's been a good long while since I read Ninjago angst, and I wanna see my favorite blorbo traumatized again :>

Zane + Control & Kai + Begging

Two for one trauma special >:}

Zane was tossed back into the cage with a clang. Immediately, Kai knelt at his side.

"You okay, buddy? Oh man what did that jerk do to you?!"

Clearly, Kai had seen the metal chunks torn from his arms and legs, the sparking wires, the gouges and scratches.

But he didn't have enough mechanical knowledge to understand what exactly had been done to him.

"I'm sorry," Zane whispered.

"For what?"

The Mechanic's grating laugh echoed through the room. He brandished a tacky remote. "For this, I assume."

Zane shot upright and punched Kai's jaw.

Kai stumbled back, hand flying to his face. "Zane!?"

Cackling, the Mechanic pressed a rapid combo of buttons. Zane launched himself at Kai.

Kai and Zane had sparred many, many times. But this was different. Zane's limbs were forced forward with none of Zane's usual finesse or control. And he did not hold back.

Kai dodged as best he could in the small cage, but the movements were erratic and unpredictable.

His eyes fixed on the Mechanic, operating the controller as leisurely as playing a video game.

"Face me yourself, coward!" Kai spat. "Leave Zane out of--"

A strong metal foot connected with his knee. Kai crumpled.

A barrage of blows bore down before he had time to blink.

Kai bit his tongue, determined not to make a sound; if Zane knew just how much it hurt... he would never forgive himself.

"It's not your fault, Zane," he whispered, curling up to protect his head and face. "It's not your fault. It's okay. It's okay..."

Cold metal hands grasped his neck and thrust him up into the air.

Kai clutched at his throat, staring down into Zane's terrified face. Pain infused his glowing eyes. His jaw appeared to be locked shut but Kai understood just how desperately he was trying to resist.

Kai's gaze traveled to the Mechanic again.

"Let him go," he choked. His vision blurred. "Please... don't make Zane do this..."

The Mechanic's laughter echoed through a long long long tunnel.

"Hurt me," Kai rasped. "Take me... just leave Zane out of this... please."

"K-Kai--" Zane managed, his voice glitching.

Black spots bloomed through Kai's vision. His windpipe was all but crushed, yet he was determined to leave one last message.

"It's... okay... Zane..."

The hand let go. Kai crashed to the floor, gasping, clutching his throat.

Something beeped. Zane fell to his knees. He flexed his fingers, ensuring that they were his own again.

Before he could begin to mend all the damage he had done to Kai, begin to apologize, begin to beg forgiveness, the door was wrenched open.

"A deal's a deal," the Mechanic grinned. "Take him away, boys." Kai's weak form was slung over a goon's shoulder. His mad grin found Zane again. "Such a violent fellow. You could use some time to cool off."

His insane cackles echoed through Zane's mind long after he and Kai had gone.

Zane glanced down at his hands.

They were covered in Kai's blood.

No one heard Zane's anguished scream.

Thunderbolt Fantasy S4 Begins Filming (+ My Translation of Gen Urobuchi's Comments)

Earlier, the official accounts for Thunderbolt Fantasy and Pili announced (in Japanese and English, respectively), that filming of S4 has begun.

Pili's official Twitter and Facebook accounts linked to an article in Chinese with more photos and details regarding the kick-off ceremony.

Meanwhile, TBF's Japanese Twitter account posted a bit of commentary from Gen Urobuchi regarding this bit of news, which I translated via a Twitter thread and am now cross-posting here.

Please do not repost my translation without crediting; link to this post or my Twitter thread instead.

If I have time and/or no one beats me to it, I'll try translating Pili's article as well, though at this point my Japanese is better than my Mandarin... 😅

Comments from Gen Urobuchi in Honor of Thunderbolt Fantasy S4's Start of Filming

What are your expectations for the sequel? What do you have in mind for this production?

Urobuchi: Post-Season 3, I’ve been crafting the plot as a series of vignettes that take a lot of twists and turns.

This next installation is precisely the point when the story reaches the climax.

I want to make the most of the heightened feeling that we’re heading toward the end.

What aspects of filming are you excited for?

Urobuchi: This time, we’re going to dig rather deeply into & shed some light on the past secrets of the main characters.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how those scenes will be translated to film.

Please share some words for fans who have been eagerly waiting for the sequel.

Urobuchi: Thanks to everyone’s support, TBF has been able to become a much longer series than originally envisioned.

We hope to deliver to our fans a superb work that conveys our gratitude to our fans & doesn’t betray their expectations. Please keep the support coming!
