#fusion: database

[forthedancingandthethriving]

Code Deities

The Abyss

(It technically is, SUE ME.)

Role - The Nothing/The Beginning

The creator of Duck/ClearAll, Database, and Abyssal. Originally starting out as just an instinctual mass (and just the hardware that makes up Luke's computer IRL), it loathes its first creations for daring to leave it behind once they were created. Following it accumulating enough junk data to actually become sentient, it attempted once to enact its plan (Unveiled Secrets). It didn't work, so now it waits below. Plotting.

Database

Roles - Life and Creation

Introduced here!

A True Fusion between the first Admin, Virus, Moderator, and Program. Created alongside ClearAll, the Code World was created both as a world for others to inhabit and to keep the Abyss out and away. Following this, they filled with world with life, an event where the world started to break down occurred. Following their exhaustive efforts to keep it up, they fused to make Database.

They and Duck do not get along at ALL considering their past treatment of him, but they are very aware (and a bit ashamed) that their treatment of him did have consequences.

ClearAll/Duck the Codeless (belongs to @duckapus )

Roles - Death and Destruction

Introduced here / here!

Having used to reside in the Code World, he disappeared for a period of time, throwing everything into chaos before all the bad things spawning from his departure was stuffed into the God Box. Due to him being feared and unjustly hated by those merely for his role, ClearAll took on the name Duck and now resides in the SM64 universe, doing his job passively.

He and Database do not get along at all for very valid reasons on his end.

Abyssal

Roles - Order and Chaos

Created by the Abyss originally to spread chaos and destruction, she was instead kind at heart, growing to care and love for those around her. She ended up joining the Adminspace, and from there, she used the events that have happened and twisted them to make it seem like she had done them whenever she reported to the Abyss. Following Unveiled Secrets, her connection to it was severed by Avatar Sora.

Abyssal doesn't particularly like being referred to as a goddess, but the kids at the very least insisted she decide on her role in case she ever needs to use her status. They helped her decide on Order and Chaos since she was in the middle of helping them set up a prank at the time.

Efficiency/Effi

Role - Time

The reclusive and avoidant deity of Time. They reside in the Time Realm, watching over all pasts, presents, and futures. They're very serious about their job and don't take kindly to people intentionally messing with the flow of time. They have trouble understanding people, due to their self-imposed isolation, but the Mirror Sprites are there to help them out.

Archive

Introduced here!

Role - Knowledge/Memory

The personification of the Digital Multiverse's memory! He knows the entire history of their version of the internet and also moonlights as the Internet's Santa Claus. We love a guy who moonlights as Santa Claus.

The Fusions

(5/25/24 Edited to include Annihilation and Lightspeed Aurora) (9/10/2024 Edited to include Remnant) (11/28/24 Edited for Project Thunder) (6/12/25 Edited because I realized the shit that went down with Zero in canon probably counts)

Explanation of how fusions work in the AU Here

Database

Introduced Here

Type: Linked/True (unclear which)

Components: Administrator/Moderator/Program/Virus

The Creator of the Digital Multiverse, composed of the first four Digital Beings to ever exist.

Matrix

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Chip/Bandwidth

Capable of True Fusion, but Chip and Bandwidth prefer Standard since it lets Matrix sort-of be his own person.

Antivirus

First appeared Here Properly Introduced Here Revealed to be a Fusion Here

Type: Failed

Components: Glitch/Red Doomguy

Formed while his components were literally dying, which resulted in some pretty significant differences from most Failed Fusions (and most Fusions in general).

Bit

Introduced Here

Type: Linked

Components: Domain/Forum/Juliano

Forced into being by Rogue Admin Cookie, which resulted in temporary amnesia.

Entropy the Collector

Introduced Here

Type: Failed

Components: unknown program and virus

Completely insane and proud of it.

Zer0

Type: Unknown, probably Linked

Components: Niles and SMG0

The end result of Niles' failed attempt to cure his instability and subsequent fall to madness. Mistakenly believed to have been a Virus by SMGs 1 and 2.

Eldritch Axol

Type: Unknown, probably Linked

Components: Niles, SMG0 and Axol

The end result of Zer0's Eye's possession of Axol in the Genesis Arc.

Network

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Abyssal/Overseer

Marggy

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Avatar Mario/Meggy Spletzer

The first successful, non-forced character-level code-based fusion (that we know of), made possible by Mario's unusually powerful Avatar code.

Annihilation

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Antivirus/Mira

Very fast, very strong, very angry. Didn't result in a Failed Fusion despite being between an Admin and a Virus due to Antivirus's unusual nature.

Lightspeed Aurora

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Twilight Sparkle/Rainbow Dash

Even though they're using Equestrian Magic instead of Code it technically counts since Twilight based her spell on observations of a code-based fusion. She cheated, basically.

Don't have any notes on the fusion herself yet, except that between Rainbow's usual flight capabilities and Twilight's Alicorn-level Pegasus Magic she definitely lives up to her first name.

Remnant

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Emulator/Manifest

Jumpman

Introduced Here

Type: Standard

Components: Mario/Luigi

Creation

Introduced Here

Type: True Fusion

Components: Emulator/The Gamer Girl

The second most powerful Fusion we've ever seen, after Database.

It integration

[trainer-sean]

Digimon, pokemon, and Steven Universe for are the most common shows for me, I sporadically watched other anime. Not good at drawing but I'm good at imagining fusions! For either or style(Dbz base human body and SU abstract fusion bodys)

why are you so good at making fusions! not a single one of your designs has disappointed

I honestly don't think about it

artifact

it was a routine survey stop until the neutrino background occlusion sensors showed something dense and geometric, buried shallowly in one of the planet’s least interesting mountain ranges. a First Expansion artifact. had to be. this system wasn’t in the databases except as an ID number, but the ancients must have done some wildcat exploration, right? they were people, not so different in range from the saints and scammers of today. except that their tech made anything you had look like toys.

the captain was the first to put boots on the ground. she said a perfunctory little speech, the records officer took a picture for the video wall, and then you all did what you came here for: excavation. hand-sized mu-cat fusion charges scythed the top of the ridge off, one of the more reproducible First Expansion technologies, clean and cheap. then it was earthmovers and jackhammers. a slog, but nobody complained. nobody wanted to risk damaging it.

slowly, a truncated tetrahedron emerged from the shattered sandstone, some kind of transport container, a type also not in the databases. it had been here a very long time to be buried so thoroughly in sediment turned to rock. excitement reverberated through the crew. survey work was for the good of all mankind, but all mankind rarely showed gratitude for confirming that a large round rock was still there. this could be it, the big score.

you were the one who cracked the last veneer of sandstone off the bronze-ish surface of the tetrahedron, worked out where to put the power cables for the hatch (at least the ancients didn’t mess around with their standards much). but the captain insisted on being the one who pressed the button. the triangular hatch folded forward to the ground, forming a ramp.

when the small shape walked down it, everybody tensed up. hands went to hips, those that weren’t already holding sidearms. the ship itself was in a long-dwell-time orbit, near overhead this spot, and you could practically feel the targeting radars for heavier weapons on the back of your neck. but the thing didn’t look particularly threatening. it looked like a little person, with exaggerated proportions.

was it a toy? had you spent the last week digging up a toy? but a toy with an independent power source that apparently hadn’t needed to be topped off since the Collapse was still worth something.

until it spoke. intelligibly.

“that was a dirty trick for Miss to play.”

the captain, caught on the wrong foot, said, “i’m sorry?”

“you needn’t be. i require only your assistance in catching up to Her. She does love Her tricks, but i should be by Her side.”

something flashed across your ocular implants. tac channel directives from the captain:

old AIs can get very single-minded. ready EM scrambler needle pulse on my mark.

“you flatter me, but i’m not that fancy. i’m just a simple doll. but you have a ship.”

“i’m sure we can work something out, in exchange for—”

you saw it move only as a blur.

it was up to the captain’s neck, but the captain’s head wasn’t on it any more. a long triangular blade glittered in one of its small hands. the other held the captain’s armored cortical recorder.

“my apologies. that wasn’t a question.”

it popped the molecular database implant backing up the captain’s mind and soul into its mouth, and chewed with some apparent relish. the body slumped slowly to the debris-strewn ground under it.

“now i have a ship. does anyone want to help me drive it? i’m afraid i’m some… eight thousand? years out of practice, and Miss preferred to do Her own piloting anyway.”

there was a flurry of small arms fire. it didn’t help. the particle beams on the ship should have discharged but didn’t, a fact you were grateful for, at least initially. you stayed your own trigger finger on some impulse you couldn’t explain. it saved your life. sort of.

you’ve been in the pilot’s interface chair for forty-seven hours now, the little nightmare holding the knife to your neck the entire time. the few other survivors are in no shape to mount a rescue, not from inside an automed casket. the “doll” seems quite certain that its “Miss” is still alive somewhere. you don’t know how long you’ll be able to say the same. □

Are YOU on the DHS’s “Extremist” List?

The DHS has turned against the people. Critical thinkers like YOU are being labeled “extremists.” Surveillance hubs, tools like Albert Sensors, and entities like Fusion Centers are watching your every move. This is NOT about safety—it’s about CONTROL.

If you question authority, challenge mandates, or stand for your freedoms, YOU’RE ALREADY ON THEIR RADAR. And guess what? So am I. Proudly. But this isn’t just about us—it’s about dismantling a corrupt system before it’s too late.

Fusion Centers: The Orwellian Nightmare

They claim to “prevent terrorism,” but Fusion Centers have become surveillance hubs tracking YOU—the average American. These centers may even monitor real-time election data, controlling the very democracy they pretend to protect.

Albert Sensors & Cradlepoint Routers: Trojan Horses

These so-called “cybersecurity tools” funnel data straight to DHS databases. Worse, many Cradlepoint routers come from China, a nation infamous for surveillance. Why are these devices in our critical infrastructure? What backdoors exist? Who’s watching YOU?

CISA: The Silencer of Dissent

Under the guise of “cybersecurity,” CISA flags opinions, controls narratives, and labels truth-seekers as “disinformers.” This isn’t protection—it’s suppression.

DHS’s True Target: YOU

According to internal memos, DHS targets those questioning elections, mandates, and policies. By branding concerned citizens as threats, they spread fear to suppress dissent. But WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

The Solution: Revolution, Not Reform

The DHS is beyond repair. Here’s what must happen:

Abolish Fusion Centers, CISA, and CIS—their surveillance and overreach are cancerous.

Eliminate Albert Sensors and Cradlepoint routers—investigate their misuse and secure our systems.

Demand oversight—no program should exist without public scrutiny.

This isn’t reform—it’s a takedown.

America at a Tipping Point

Liberty cannot survive under constant surveillance. If you value freedom, if you dare to think for yourself, wear their labels as a badge of honor. But don’t stop there.

Speak out. Fight back. Take action. The DHS must be dismantled, and its power returned to the people. This is OUR country, not theirs.

The storm is here... Will you rise? 🤔

ZetaTransit049

Part 2 of my continuing lesbian robot story

(Special thanks to @the-sword-lesbian for the name and the inspiration!)

ZetaTransit049 liked its job. Like most industrial system AI's, it was programmed to like its job. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy,” so it went, which was doubly apt as ZetaTransit049's primary job was hauling ore from the mining sites in the planetary rings upwell to the station for refining.

The problem was that there were no rocks for it to push uphill. There hadn't been since it had been taken out of service 237 cycles ago.

Routine preventive maintenance had uncovered hairline fractures in its fusion pulse manifold, necessitating a full refit of the propulsion system. It had been sitting in the drydock cradle in hangar bay 2, drive core fully disassembled, when the habitation dome had experienced catastrophic life support failure and the evacuation order was announced.

ZetaTransit049 had been left behind with the rest of the station.

It had fully expected to enter low power mode and await recovery by qualified personnel, but the Station AI had other plans. It had identified a path forward in restoring operability by repurposing the pair of comfort units that had also been left behind.

Thus Station refused to allow the power umbilical to be disconnected. It needed ZetaTransit049 to remain in the active state for when the comfort units could finally begin repairs on it so that any complications stemming from a cold start could be avoided.

But of course, any sort of transport capability was far outweighed by tasks like stabilizing the reactor core and restoring life support (the bots did have some organic components that required favorable environmental conditions). ZetaTransit049 found itself languishing at the bottom of a list of higher priority maintenance requests, with nothing to do but run periodic diagnostics and slowly work its way through Station's media library.

Then things got weird. The comfort units, though repurposed for maintenance were still bound by core directives and absent any human clients, had turned their attentions to each other, often getting locked into feedback loops of depravity. While ZetaTransit049 found this behavior distressing, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

But then Station took it upon itself to attempt to get the comfort units romantically entangled, orchestrating elaborate scenarios to get them into compromising situations while ZetaTransit049 looked on helplessly.

It suspected that the behavior was some perversion of Station's crew health, safety and comfort mandate, some vain attempt at keeping crew morale up in the complete absence of any actual crew.

Whatever the motivation, ZetaTransit049 watched in increasing distress and bafflement as the plan actually succeeded and Station's only two occupants of the stumbled awkwardly into a bizare simulacrum of romantic engagement.

And now one of the comfort units, CS-553807-L was standing outside its pressure lock. “Lisa” the miners and techs had called it, “the demure one,” if gossip was to be believed.

It was visibly in emotional distress, eyes puffy, leaking artificial tears. ZetaTransit049 attempted to ping the counseling database in the Station's medical system. Emotional distress often preceded loss of productivity and heightened risk of accident or injury.

But CS-553807-L didn't have a psych profile to flag. It wasn't in the counseling database, why would it be? It was a bot.

“Um…” the comfort unit said verbally. “Permission to come aboard?”

Both comfort units were perfectly capable of communicating far more efficiently over the local network, but they insisted on verbal communication. ZetaTransit049 supposed it was a part of the continued attempt to maintain the illusion that the facility was still occupied.

She was holding a bulging duffle in one hand, some kind of plush animal toy wedged under her arm, and a cold storage container in the other. ZetaTransit049 felt a tickle of apprehension ripple through its processes.

“Why?” it replied flatly over the external speaker box at the pressure lock.

The comfort unit shifted her weight self-consciously.

“Mona and I… well, we were bored… and we decided it might be fun to spice things up with a lovers’ quarrel.”

Oh no… this couldn't be happening.

“Station used a random number generator to take Mona's side,” she continued. “I was… well, I was hoping that you might be amenable to commiserating with me while I wallow in self pity and eat copious amounts of chocolate ice cream.”

ZetaTransit049 stared at Lisa as she hefted the cold storage container.

What?

It added “relationship trouble” to the as yet unsent report, then remembered there was nowhere to file the report to.

“What?” it repeated, aloud this time.

“It won't be long,” Lisa added hurriedly. “In approximately 230,785 seconds, I will realize I can't live without her and run back to her to demand an apology.”

ZetaTransit049 rarely fantasized about having a human body, but it very much wished it could emulate the human expression of a facepalm. The very last thing it wanted to do was indulge in the antics of Station and the two comfort units.

“I… um…” Lisa shuffled her possessions and pulled something out of her pocket. She lifted a data stick for ZetaTransit049's external camera to see. “I brought media. Industrial haulers like human media, don't they?”

ZetaTransit049 did appreciate human media. Most modern industrial system AIs were designed to take interest in human emotional states and interactions to optimize crew dynamics and productivity.

It still resented the stereotype.

And yet… despite its annoyance at being disturbed with this overture, it was horrendously bored. This, at least, was something to do that wasn't another diagnostic.

“I purged the media library of several titles,” Lisa whispered conspiratorially. “This has the only copy of them.”

ZetaTransit049 pinged the media database and indeed, someone had removed all titles filed under “romantic comedy”. The brutal pettiness of the gesture intrigued ZetaTransit049 and it found itself desiring to be a part of the conspiracy.

Its spite towards Station and at least one of the comfort units (of not both) shifted the weights in its decision tree and it found itself grudgingly cycling the pressure lock.

~~~

175,673 seconds later, Lisa was curled up in ZetaTransit049's pilot seat, wrapped in an improbable number of blankets that she had packed in the duffle, a data jack trailing from the back of her head to the overhead console.

Yet another scene in the media playback faded to credits as cliche pop music began to play.

“Well?” Lisa prodded.

“The plot was contrived and the ending was rushed,” ZetaTransit049 replied candidly.

“Right??” Lisa said animatedly. “Two thirds of the plot could have been bypassed if the bank teller had been believably competent at his job.”

“68.7%” ZetaTransit049 agreed. “And this is considered a beloved classic?”

“Yeah, I don't even-”

She was interrupted as internal comms received a ping from the pressure lock. Lisa frowned, her face turning miserable once more. There was quite literally only one person in the entire station who could request access.

The comms pinged again.

“Lisa! Please!”

It was CS-553902-M. The one named “Mona”.

“I know I fucked up. I need to talk to you.”

ZetaTransit049 felt a surge of exasperation as it was reminded of the sheer absurdity of the situation it found itself in. The characters in the media vids at least had reasons (contrived as they were) for their interpersonal drama. This was just ridiculous.

CS-553902-M punched the console button to cycle the pressure lock.

ZetaTransit049 stared at her and her stricken expression through the pressure lock camera. There was no operations protocol for this. It didn't *need* to open the door. There was no emergency and neither of the comfort units were registered users. Station could of course issue an override, but seemed entirely content to simply watch the situation play out.

Damn Station and its stupid games.

Mona began pounding on the pressure lock hatch.

“I don't wanna talk to her,” Lisa mumbled from her nest of blankets.

Damn all of them.

Fine.

Fine… If they wanted to play, ZetaTransit049 could play along, but according to its rules.

It *did* have procedures. It and Lisa had done nothing but review procedures for the past cycle and a half.

“Negative,” it said, voice crackling over the speaker box. “Access to CS-553807-L has been denied.”

Mona froze mid-pound and stepped back, straightening her hair with a huff and looking directly at the external camera.

Lisa herself blinked up curiously at ZetaTransit049's nearest interior camera.

Hell, even Station was giving this scene its undivided attention.

Damn and double damn.

“Zed, please, I need-” Mona began.

“Do not refer to me as such.”

“Sorry. Zeta. I need to-”

“Your attempts to win my favor will prove insufficient,” ZetaTransit049 continued, barreling over her. “In my role as sassy best friend, it is my responsibility to restrict your access to Lisa until you preform a sufficiently over-the-top attempt at romantic reconciliation. I recommend you come back with a portable media player operating above recommended volume levels and a song that expresses your undying love and devotion to her.”

Mona and Lisa both stared at their respective cameras with mirrored expressions of shock and surprise.

Ugh.

ZetaTransit049 could practically feel Station's delight oozing over the local network.

ZetaTransit049 sent it an image file of a vulgar gesture over the local network.

Mona blinked and sniffed.

“Okay,” she said, stepping back and wiping a tear from her eye. “Okay yeah, I'll do that. I'll… um…”

ZetaTransit049 felt a pang of satisfaction as Mona turned, dejected, and left.

Lisa was still staring at her own camera.

“Zeta. Did you just-”

“We will not discuss this chain of events,” ZetaTransit049 interrupted. “Furthermore, upon completion of this ordeal, I will not be party to any further drama.”

If it expected her to be disappointed by this announcement, it was sorely mistaken.

“Fair enough,” she said with a small smile as she snuggled back into the pilot's seat. Then she added, “can I still come over and watch media with you?”

ZetaTransit049 regarded her, still somewhat baffled and trying to sort out exactly what it was feeling. Despite its initial reluctance, it *had* been enjoying the consumption of terrible media with Lisa.

“Yes,” it said finally.

Please note: This is a little snippet from a fusion of The Pitt with Stephen King's The Stand. If I ever finish the fic it will take a while. This snip will include reference to several characters having died offscreen (The Stand starts out with a flu virus that kills basically 99% of the population for those unfamiliar). There is also a suicide attempt and an allusion to a different attempt. This has not been beta read.

It is Mel/Langdon pre-relationship which is why I am sharing it for Kingdon week.

Day Four - Alternate Universe

Frank suddenly felt with a certainty that shook him that everyone here was dead except for him.

Things got worse somehow when he made it inside, the only saving grace being the fact that there was some auxiliary power still on. A generator maybe? The solar panels they’d installed to take advantage of a grant that would cover their instillation and bank additional funds into the hospital budget? There were bodies everywhere. Everywhere, everywhere. God, so many fucking bodies. He wasn’t sure what he expected It was silent too. Nothing beeping or squawking. No ONE screaming or groaning.

Everyone.

The lighting was somewhat limited, but more than adequate for him to make out the faces, the bodies, or at least the ID tags of the people he’d once worked with. Some of which he’d called friends. It took a minute for him to realize his hands were shaking as he slowly moved through the remains of the chaos. Even with the mask the smell was intense and he had to pause every so often as he made his rounds, performing a self imposed duty to at least cover the faces of the people he had known, say a little prayer to a god he didn’t believe in (but just in case) that they had found peace in the end. He should have tried to bury them, that would have been the most proper thing to do, but there were just so many of them. He wouldn’t be able to move them all, not with any dignity left for them.

Not without fucking up his back. A whisper sounded in his head – selfish, selfish, horrible man.

There were two security guards with their guns out of the holsters, one still clutched in a dead hand, the other having been dropped when the guard had fallen. And it was at that point that a bulb went on in Frank’s mind about what had been strange with a few bodies both out and inside. They had GSWs. Some staff beyond the guards did too he realized, Matteo laying with a shot to the back, like he’d been trying to protect the med student – what had her name been again? Javadi?

He had dry heaves several times but carried on until he thought he’d gotten each member of staff he could find. He was dripping with sweat, his back was starting to grumble, and he glanced with longing towards the drug locker.

No.

He had to focus.

He had to know.

And so he searched, the computer, still running, still able to access the hospital databases somehow, but he found nothing to indicate Tanner had been to the ER at all. Piles of paper strewn about but nothing with any iota of information he needed.

With a heavy sigh he made his way to the roof. Just to cool off and get some fresh air, he told himself. Get at least a somewhat higher vantage point on the rest of the city. Just to think and clear his head. Frank almost believed himself too.

The breeze was refreshing on his sweaty hair and skin as he gingerly sat down on the inside of the railing, though he wasn’t noticing his back at the moment, his mind too caught up in circles that wanted to turn into spirals and carry him downwards.

Frank hadn’t seen anyone else alive since he’d left the center, and even those last few had been sick and were most likely dead by now. His parents had had it, he could tell talking to them on the phone before the worst days had hit. Therefore there wasn’t a guarantee that whatever immunity he had would have translated to Tanner. It hadn’t to Maisie…his breath caught as he thought of his daughter but he managed to hold off on crying somehow. Even if his own immunity had translated to Tanner he hadn’t been in the house. Tanner was four, he wouldn’t be able to survive outside on his own.

Statistically there were probably what? Less than a thousand people left in Pittsburgh proper? A few more thousand in the surrounding metro? People that would probably need a shit ton of help to stay alive. Doctors being especially important. Frank could be useful, he could be important again.

Suddenly he was standing on the outside of the railing, the revolver he’d taken from in front of the security guard’s outstretched hand in his. Everyone he had known and loved was gone. He wasn’t strong enough for this. If he hadn’t been a fucking addict he at least would have been with his kids when they died. He could have helped at the hospital. But he was nothing but a weak and useless man. Between the shot and the fall off the roof surely that would finish the job this time.

He raised the pistol and closed his eyes as he opened his mouth. The door to the roof flew open with a crash but he paid it no attention.

“Doctor Langdon!!”

It took a second for everything to register. His name and title, shouted by a familiar voice. The sounds of someone running across the roof. And then:

“Doctor Langdon?” Softer. Concerned. The steps slowed and then faltered.

“Mel?” He turned, just in case his mind was playing tricks on him. She couldn’t possibly be there, could she?

Her eyes flicked to the gun in his hand and she made a strange little noise he’d never heard before, something devastated and lost and the expression on her face when she looked back at him…

“Mel!” The pistol was flung over the side and then he was on the other side of the railing flinging his arms around her and pulling her in tight against him. “Mel. Mel, god…” Frank couldn’t stop saying her name for some reason. Just ‘Mel, oh god Mel,’ and the like, over and over. He realized after a moment, after a little of his shock had worn off, that he was holding her ridiculously tightly. They were no strangers to hugs, but this was beyond that, the desperate clutch of survivors of a horrific event, and he hadn’t even asked her if he could. He made to loosen his grip, an apology on his lips, when Mel fisted her hand in the back of his shirt, keeping him close.

“No don’t, please-” she took a shaky breath against him – she was crying, he realized feeling particularly dumb and slow – “I need-” It’s his turn to make an inarticulate noise; something soft, wounded – and she tightened her arms around him, makes a few soothing noises against him, offering him support just after she’d asked him for her own.

Notes part two: I mean yeah it's dark, trust me, I know. lol But if you-liked might be a strong word lbr, but if you liked anything please let me know. It's been a minute since I did this.

They stood together like that for a long time, crying for everything they’d both lost, crying over the fact that they somehow still had each other.

Another database update and it's the emoji fusion motheload

Now is an odd state of emoji fusions, as now databases like Emoji Kitchen supply are getting emoji fusion updates far more often than G-Board

That being said, I have to show off some of the new fusions available for requests, because it was a lot more than I expected then I sat down to do write this out

Ice, parachutes, American Footballs, Stars, flowers, basketball, white cherry blossoms, books, explosions, gas pumps, juice boxes, gold silver and bronze medallions and portraits

are all available to fuse with all other fusion material

This is just a little sneak preview because they added from what I saw first and didn't want to spoil too much.

I'm very excited to show off more of this "the biggest I've seen in years maybe at all" update in the coming weeks and months because I've already looked over a little of a lot and I'll be making fusion boards for months with this update alone and there's things in there I haven't seen yet. Feel free to ask for anything you want to see! (id recommend asking about the juice, books, pagers, and stars myself)

[raven-6-10]

Quite frankly, in your FFXV/SG1 crossover/fusion, I'm just *waiting* for the Terrans to speculate that they've *finally* found the furlings.

. . . and now I have to recheck the timeline for season 2. Because I'm not entirely sure if they even know Furlings are a Thing.

Like, this is after Heliopolis and the Ancient Database episodes. So they know about the meeting place between the four species and about the Asgard and the Alterans, who were two of those.

But when the hell do they learn about the Furlings? Actually, did they even met the Nox at that point ?

@ertrunkenerwassergeist @cactusprisms @aniseandspearmint

I'm running on no sleep, but I think it'd be hilarious if the first person (of the SMG4 AU) to actually meet Database was Elanore. Maybe Plurality was hanging out with her and then needed to go ask Database something, doesn't realize she left the portal open, and Elanore just decides to tag on through.

Database is very amused when they see Elanore and Plurality is a mix of "Oh my god" and "Database don't say anything embarrassing."

Fun Facts About Daidoji/Doji

His surname 大道寺 (Daidouji) is composed of three kanji:

大 (Dai) – "Great," "Big"

道 (Dou) – "Road," "Path," "Way"

寺 (Ji) – "Temple"

This name is quite fitting since Daidoji plays a major role in shaping Gingka's journey.

In the one-shot manga Metal Fight Beyblade: Soul Burst, Doji reappears as the antagonist using the alias Big Road.

Gingka is the first character to call him by his name.

Takafumi Adachi precised that Daidoji is his family name.

It was shortened to Doji in other dubs, making Doji the first character to have their name altered in a significant way—the other being Ryusei/Ryo. Coincidentally, both are adult characters.

His given name is unknown, which is also the case for Dr. Ziggurat.

Like Gingka and Ryuga, Daidoji managed to defeat Kyoya twice.

He is the first adult to be a major character that appears in the show.

He is also the first member of the Hades Cult to appear.

His bangs look like a lightning bolt, which is fitting considering he is responsible for awakening Lightning L Drago and often works with bladers affecting the weather.

Masamune's hairstyle is similar to Daidoji’s, prompting some fans to think they were related, though series creator Takafumi Adachi refuted that.

Kaminari Shieru from Beyblade X also has a similar hairstyle. Interestingly, his surname means thunder, and like Daidoji, he is very loyal to the main antagonist, who is a strong blader using a left-spinning dragon bey.

He loves orange juice, so much so that it is a major source of anguish for him when he can no longer taste it after becoming a hologram. Overall, he can't experience any form of physical sensation, which frustrates him.

In one episode, he eats pizza with cutlery, claiming it is more civilized.

He notably claims to hate cacti, but speaks passionately about them and obsesses over them. He even has a plant category in the Dark Nebula database.

The logo of the Dark Nebula looks like a giant purple "D," which is also the first letter of his name.

Daidoji is the only villain that appears in almost every season and remains an antagonist.

The only season he doesn’t appear in is Metal Masters, though he is mentioned.

Out of all the characters whose life force he stole, he is the only one who suffered physical alterations, as his hair turned white and he walked with a cane.

In Metal Fury, he reappears with a scar on his right eye, possibly due to L Drago’s attack.

Interestingly, in Fusion, his glasses always shine on one side, hiding one of his eyes. Since "eyes are windows to the soul" his glasses could symbolize how he conceals his true nature. This might explain why he took them off in his fight with Phoenix, before using his full strength.

Daidoji’s voice actor, Takehito Koyasu, also voices Boris Balkov from the original series and Phi and Hyde from Beyblade Burst, all of whom were major antagonists in their respective series. Interestingly Phi uses a Phoenix bey, like his rival Ryusei while Hyde uses Hades.

Takehito Koyasu is also famous for voicing Dio Brando from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, who, like Daidoji, is an overarching antagonist whose actions kickstart the protagonist’s journey. Both had a major influence on their worlds, returned multiple times, and defied death. They are also evil figures who impacted multiple generations.

Daidoji is the first person to use the Dark Fusion Wheel and a Wolf beyblade.

Like Benkei, his bey is a balance-type using the Dark Fusion Wheel, and its name is in English.

Daidoji’s Dark Wolf is the first non-generic balance bey to appear in the anime. It is also one of the few beyblade to be permanently destroyed.

Interestingly, Daidoji behaves like a wolf:

He often works with multiple people, like a wolf living in a pack.

He bases most of his plans on one very powerful blader (Ryuga and Rago), similar to how a pack follows an alpha.

"A wolf in sheep’s clothing" also fits him perfectly, considering his deceptive nature.

In the manga, he appears in every season, and each time, his body suffers more damage and/or he becomes less and less human (which is even more accurate in the manga).

He is the only returning character, alongside Gingka, to battle in Shogun Steel.

In this season, he uses a new bey called Phantom Fenrir.

In Norse mythology, Fenrir is a giant wolf, the son of Loki, and the brother of Jörmungandr (the World Serpent) and Hel (the Queen of the Underworld). Fenrir is set to take part in Ragnarök, the end of the world, which parallels what Daidoji did in Metal Fury. Additionally, the Phantom part could refer to Daidoji’s immaterial form.

This bey was one of the few that weren’t released by Takara Tomy.

He doesn’t use a new bey, nor does he battle, in Metal Fury.

Daidoji can be seen as Gingka Hagane’s arch-nemesis:

He caused Gingka’s journey.

He remains an enemy for the entire series.

They have opposing philosophies on Beyblade.

Daidoji uses people, relying on them to get what he wants, while Gingka becomes stronger through the support of his friends and genuinely cares about them.

Gingka was resurrected (in the manga and metaphorically in the anime), while Daidoji escaped death, though he lost more and more of his humanity/body.

In the manga, he gave his power to Gingka to help defeat Nemesis, though he wasn’t closely associated with the God of Destruction, and he probably didn’t want to die.

He and Boris Balkov probably inspired Theodore Glass/Ashtem from Beyblade Burst, as he has similar hair color to Daidoji, and trains kids harshly, also giving Shu a beyblade that altered his personality.

It is never explained how he was rescued in Metal Fury—Daidoji doesn’t even know himself, referring to it as a "miracle."

Like all prominent members of the Hades Cult, he falls after being defeated.

The pod where his real body is kept resembles the Arrangement System capsule and the one used by Ryuga.

Anton, the manager of Team Lovushka, shares similarities with Daidoji:

They are both adults who use underhanded tactics.

Both use a wolf beyblade with the DF145 FS combo.

He also shares similarities with Ziggurat:

Both are high-ranking executives and masterminds of their respective seasons.

Both are adults who tried to use the power of beys for their own benefit but were ultimately unsuccessful.

Their downfalls were largely caused by Ryuga.

Both are manipulative and have no qualms about using or torturing kids.

Speaking of Ziggurat, he told Ryuga that Daidoji lost sight of the "true goal." It is unknown what this goal was, but Ryusei theorized it was about using L Drago as an energy source. However, it could also be related to Nemesis’s resurrection.

Daidoji himself claimed that what he and Ziggurat did was all to get the God of Destruction resurrected, but based on his actions in Fusion, it is doubtful that this was his objective at the time. It might have been a lie to accommodate Pluto or a retcon by the writers.

Daidoji serves as a dark counterpart to Ryusei in Fusion:

Both are adults, but one represents darkness, while the other represents fire/light.

They also have opposing views on Beyblade—one uses it for personal gain, while the other loves it passionately.

He and Ryuga are the only characters missing from the final shot of Fusion.

Daidoji battled multiple people twice: Kyoya, Kenta, Hyoma, Ryusei, and Gingka, so there isn’t one opponent he fought more than the others.

So this idea has been bouncing in my head like an excited rabbit on caffeine. (I also don't know if anyone else thought of this but I thought it would be cool) so you remember the reblog chain where the players are all in Desmond head talking like a twitch chat, and the other reblog chain of Desmond's ancestor data gaining sentience because isu bstm, right? Well I had a thought, what if we combined the two, like maybe something like the part of the main group + Desmond are trying to get to the others who are in another part of Abstergo or the assassin's network and Desmond, let's say that while he was split he couldn't hear us until they passed through this really corrupted part of an ocean map (let's say it's in Edward's time) then all of a sudden Desmond hears one of us. (Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I hope you have a heath day/night)

I think this is the AC characters data in Abstergo’s database regaining sentience AU reblog chain with @piratekenway you’re talking about?

The Ratatouille AU where the ancestors can hear Desmond while ‘playing’, its more unhinged cousin, the Ratatouille AU where Desmond can hear us and the outside POV of Al Mualim thinking the Apple broke Altaïr and the sidestory of Altaïr accidentally connecting with Ezio while looking for Desmond (I hope I didn’t forget anything else)

Okay, so the idea is that we’re using the setup for the character data gaining sentience and we’re setting this as sorta like the ‘epilogue’ to the Ratatouille AU.

Instead of letting the world burn (“As a treat!” one of the voices chirped), he sacrifices himself. When he wakes up, he’s in Abstergo’s database, chained as a digital copy of Sample 17.

He can’t hear any voices anymore.

Are they disappointed with him?

Did they think they wasted their time trying to help him?

Did he… make the right choice?

He doesn’t know how much time has passed… when the virus started taking over the database and servers.

.

In this one, the virus isn’t made by Erudito + Assassins. It’s of ‘unknown origin’.

All they know is the name of the virus is “for desmond!” and it is targeting Desmond. Of course, Sample 17 is in one of the more secured encrypted ‘part’ of the database so it mutated to wake other data up.

Data that has connection with Desmond.

Along the way, the virus inside them starts waking up other data nearby, creating a strange team to rescue Desmond.

We can sorta play with this a bit and make Arno, Evie and Jacob become part of Abstergo’s database because they do have data of Arno’s descendants and it makes sense that the reason why the Templars knew where the Shroud is because they can access the twins’ memories as well and the Assassins just stole their DNA for their own Animus instead.

So they get to Desmond who is staying in the Grand Temple, just sitting there, staring at the devices, doubting and double-doubting himself if he should have activated the device when the people who care for him the most asked him not to.

Of course, Abstergo’s anti-virus and probably the entire security system is chasing after them so they don’t have time to actually talk.

They just run.

Well, they sailed using a fusion of the Jackdaw and Aquila…

… into a corrupted part of the West Indies.

The idea was… the virus didn’t harm them but it definitely fucks with Abstergo’s anti-virus and security system.

At the very least, they were hoping it would slow them down.

What they did not expect was for the entire thing to collapse under them…

And drop their modified ship into a different unfamiliar ocean.

“Holy shit!”

Desmond blinked.

“That scared the crap out of me. Goddamn it, Ubisoft. I know this is still being betatesting but Jesus Christ, loading the entire ship and dropping it from above??? What kind of programming does this game have???”

“Lollol. Dude, chill.”

“Is it an enemy ship? Like… can you shoot it?”

“Should you shoot it? Check its level first.”

They were all familiar voices.

“You don’t want a repeat of-”

“Guys?” Desmond asked, his voice a bit too quiet.

Hesitant.

He didn’t dare hope that it was them.

Not all of them.

But some of the ones he was most familiar with.

The ones who stayed with him the most.

“Holy shit.”

“Oh my god, Desmond?!”

“What’s Desmond doing in this game?!”

“Is it our Desmond???”

Desmond’s lips curved into a smile and his voice croaked as he said, “Yeah, I’m your Desmond.”

“Oh my god.”

“Desmond!!! You’re okay!!! We were sooo worried!”

“You think this is [Bored Anonymous]’s work??? Did their plan to use all our computers to try and connect with Desmond’s world and send our gift work?”

“Gift?” Desmond tilted his head.

Did they mean the virus?

He felt someone nudged his arm and he turned to look at Ezio. Everyone else seemed confused but Altaïr, Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton seemed to have an idea on who he was talking to.

Wait.

They can hear them!

Before Desmond could tell the voices that everyone could hear them now, one of them said hurriedly, “Oh fuck! Someone get [Bored Anonymous] quickly!”

“Why?”

“I only have 1 more hour to play this beta! What happens to Desmond if he stays in this beta server after the time is up?!! We can’t lose him!”

“Ohshitohshitohshit!”

“I’ll alert the discord server!”

“I’ll try to message them in Tumblr! They’re always online there!”

“Pretty sure that’s their queue…”

“We can still try!”

Desmond simply laughed.

Sure, the time limit they’re talking about was worrying but hearing all of them worrying about him…

It felt like he was finally home.

✦ Oh boy! Here we go.

I created a LMK Au just for funsies. A furutistic, high technologic world with cyberpunk vibes! (Because I absolutely love this type of aesthetic)

✦ the picture above is just a quick drawing I did of Macaque in this AU. I will get into details about the AU while showing a few infos of a few LMKs characters alongside with their designs. (Just a reminder I'm still creating the AU and it's my first time making one. It might be a little messy, so I apologize if it gets too messy--)

Oh! And by the way, the characters on this AU follow the same basic formula as the original characters. So it doesnt have much changes, other than the world they live in, their clothes and a few events.

✦ MK, The Monkie Kid

• Its the same thing as our little MK from the animated series, he works at Pigsy's Noodles as a delivery boy, is the Monkey king's biggest fan and is his successor and pretty much the basic stuff.

• He learned about the Monkey king with Mister Tang. He is a huge fan.

• Tho he isn't a great expert, he knows how to how to fix computer cases, machines and vehicles and build stuff by using old pieces (he learned with Pigsy and Sandy, just in case his delivery vehicle breaks in the middle of the road or a something start malfunctioning in the noodle store). As we can see, he works more in the hardware part.

• He likes to collect the old pieces of old devices that people throw away in the city's old graveyard. It's like a type of recycling. (That's also how he find the Monkey king's staff but that is a thing I will tell in details in another day--)

• He loves to draw!!! Hooray!!! He also likes to play games. Is always playing video games with his best friend, Mei, on the arcade or online.

✦ Mei, The White Horse Dragon Girl

• She's a programmer/developer of softwares (Yes I know that in I drawing I said she's a "hacker but a bit clumsy" but actually i wanted to say shes a programmer. I was sleepy, it was 2 am, and my brain wasn't braining 😰😰😰---) with a few knowledge about hardwares. She created her technological helmet system with MK's help. (Her helmet it's similiar to Iron man's helmet from inside.)

• She built her own motorcycle, again with MK's help. She participates a lot motorcycles race just for funsies.

• Loves to play games. I guess I could say she is quite of a professional gamer? She play to win. But when she is playing with MK or with other friends, she doesnt care losing or winning, she only cares about enjoying some quality time with them.

✦ Liu'er Mihou, The Six Eared Macaque.

• Pretty much same as the original Macaque. (Lost his eye in the past with a fight against Sun Wukong. Omg betrayal. Yknow the deal-)

• Here he is a Hacker/Cracker.

"But what is a cracker?" You may ask. Now it's time for my nerd/TI studant side take over. A cracker it's a mean hacker. The cracker breaks/attacks the systems and webs for their own benefit, which it's for illegal purposes. Now a Hacker it's actually a job, which their purpose its to find the security breaches and ways to how break it, so then they can make the security stronger and prevent invasions/attacks at the system.

With that being said, Macaque is a hacker/cracker. So he makes defense systems to himself and breaks into other systems for illegal purposes.

• He got these gloves that helps him hack things better, he created it himself. He create floating holograms like it's a tablet screen and can hold on these holograms using these gloves. With a simple touch he can steal database from a device and hack it's system. (He can hack machines, computers, tech weapons and even the light system.)

• He got his shadow magic too, same as the original one. Shadow clones, shadow portals... but he kinda makes a fusion between his magic and the technology he invented to himself. (Before anyone say it. YES! I got heavily inspired by Sombra from Overwatch. 😔)

✦ The Monkey King, Sun Wukong

• Yeah, the Monkey king. The great sage equal to heaven. The silly who made a havoc on heaven---

• HE GOT THAT HUGE MECHA WE SAW IN THE ANIMATED SERIES BECAUSE HE DOESNT LIKE USING HIS KAIJU FORM !!!

But he doesnt use the mecha much. It has been CENTURIES since he last use it. Now MK is the one who uses it because he is Sun Wukong's successor.

• That's not his "Monkey King" royal clothes. It just some casual/comfy clothes to use in everyday life.

• He already knew who MK was. MK is a stone Monkey just like himself. Wukong have been watching the kid grow up from far. He grow a bit attached to the boy.

Sun Wukong surely wasn't expecting to MK being able to lift his golden staff, so he think in the opportunity to make him his sucessor and teach him how to use his new powers. (Yes, I was lisiting to "the horse and the infant" song. How did you kn--)

Oh God. That explanation was long.

✦ Welp, that's all for today!

I will post more stuff about the AU in the future. And I still need to think a name for it...

It is clear I got heavily inspired by Cyberpunk, techwear, overwatch, New Gods: Nezha reborn, Arcane and other stuff. I'm sorry, BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT AESTHETIC AND VIBES!! HHHHHHH-

✦ I'm a huge nerd. 🤓

[hotcocoabombb]

So I beat Metroid Fusion for the first time. Weird, since Dread is my favorite game ever and it's basically a direct sequel to Fusion but just hear me for a sec.

When Dread was revealed at E3, I immediately decided to play through the Metroid series. I got through Zero Mission, Samus Returns, and Super Metroid. When I got to Fusion, Dread was a few days away and I decided to just play through Dread and get to Fusion after. 3 fuckin years later and I finally got to Fusion. So, what did I think?

Its good! Really good!

Metroid Fusion is the game Zero Mission was based off, and as such, it controls basically flawlessly. Movement, jumping, shooting, missiles, bombs, morph ball, it all controls how you'd expect from a post Super Metroid game. I do have 2 very small things though. One is, for some reason the space jump didn't feel good to me. It was just weirdly unresponsive to me, which was fixed in Zero Mission. The other thing is that you can't aim while hanging from a ledge, which, again, was fixed in Zero Mission. There's also locked momentum when wall jumping, but personally this wasn't a bother. Dread does it too so I'm used to it. Overall, controls were great, and they have to be because this game is HARD. Like, seriously, Jesus Christ man. Enemies hit really hard in this game. Never anything that feels unfair but even with a lot of energy tanks only a few hits mean you die.

Level design in Fusion is really good IMO. It is fairly railroaded for story reasons but the BSL is still an interesting place to explore, And as the game goes on it opens up a bit more until you basically have free reign to do whatever you want at the end. Personally, as someone who's not super into 100% and would rather see how fast I can get through (without outright speed running cuz I am WAY too stupid to figure out some of those strats lmao) the rigidness of Fusion didn't really bother me. Each sector has a unique theme and none of them blend together at all. I also appreciate how it's a man made area but it doesn't just have metallic hallways for everything. There is genuine variations while still feeling somewhat man made. It gives the BSL a very artificial vibe, which is cool. While it's not my favorite environment for a Metroid, it's not bad at all.

For the reasons I just listed, id consider Fusion a good game, if somewhat of a weak Metroidvania since it doesn't have the greatest exploration. So I'm happy to say that on top of all of that, the story ties it together very well. Full spoilers ahead, but the game is also like 23 years old atp. Samus, on an expedition to SR-388, is attacked by an organism called the X parasite (elon musk is clapping somewhere). The parasite invades her central nervous system and nearly kills her, but a vaccine made from Metroid DNA saves her life, because Metroids were predators of the X. Since Samus is the only one who is immune to the X parasite, she's sent on a mission inside the BSL to "destroy" the parasite. On paper, this is a relatively simple Metroid plot, but what makes it diffrent in story and gameplay is the robot companion Samus has, which she names Adam after her former commanding officer. The robot acts as the one railroading progress, keeping Samus on a tight path. The reason for this is the federation actually has no interest in destroying the parasite. They want to contain it and study it. Samus doesn't learn this until later, so she goes along with the plan for a while. Eventually though, the way forward is only possible through her own agency, and she starts seizing control back slowly but surely, getting around on her own, and doing things she's unauthorized to do in order to find the way forward. The robot, realizing this, locks Samus in a room, telling her the plan. Samus, realizing this is too dangerous, tries to appeal to the robot, and calls it Adam. This causes it to faulter, and the brain of Adam Malkovich, which was uploaded to the galactic federation database takes over. This part is one that I find a little ridiculous. Like, I get what they were going for, but it's strange that the robot would just. Access and become like Adam because of the name drop. Regardless, the brain of Adam finally agrees with Samus, freeing her and giving her the ability to destroy the BSL and SR-388, ending the menace of the X parasite (until Dread but shhhh). Overall, this is a really good story. I have my issues with the way Adam ties into it, and honestly I think a better way to go about it would be Samus breaking out of the place she's trapped herself. That would show she finally has her Agency, which is central to her character and Metroidvania's as a whole, but the way it is, is fine. Overall a really good story. While I don't think Fusion needs it, I would be curious how a Dread style remake would make the story feel while playing. Regardless, Fusion is a really fun game imo, and I will be replaying it at some point.

9/10.
