I literally can't believe we are on our way to having our own job and regular income and supporting our rent by ourselves for ourselves soon. The relief at the idea of cometely shedding dependence on my family and actually opening up the open world that is life sounds so fucking nice. I feel like I've been railroaded in a torturous tutorial mission for 22 years. The fucking grind to do everything perfect just to advance to the next stage and get out of the railroad andninto the open world makes the first two hours of Cyberpunk NOT sound and look tedious jesus fucking christ.

You know what I just realized about Gabriel and Adrien that just makes me even more frustrated about them. They had perfect color coding potential! Gabriel's main colors are white with red accents, and Chat Noir's (Adrien's True self) main colors are black with green accents, the exact opposite of Gabriel! Heck, even as his civilian self Adrien's main color is black but it's offset by his white vest. It's almost like the white is trying to overtake the black (symbolically representing Gabriel's control over Adrien). And if Adrien actually got development, maybe he could have started wearing less and less white to show him breaking away from Gabriel's control.
(Also I remember what you said about Adrien living in a monochrome world and him having a monochrome miraculous probably is not the best, which I do largely agree with (I also do agree that Adrien is not the best for the Cat), but in defense of the cat, it has been shown that the cat miraculousis capable of giving other colors, like gray, silver, gold, acid green, dark green, neon green (that boarders on yellow), and purple. It honestly a little funny when you think about how pretty much every other cat holder after Adrien has more color, like the designers realized their mistake with Chat Noir's design and made sure to give every other cat more color)
While the Gabriel vs Chat is a nice color contrast, but I'm not quite a 100% on it, but that's also on me for having different views.
Like, on the topic of "Adrien's True Self", for me, his true self is in the middle between Adrien the Civilian and Chat Noir. As Adrien is him being the "perfect son" while Chat Noir is him "letting loose". Ideally, I think his growth would've had him gradually fuse the two, having some of Chat's playfulness come into his civilian life, while having some of his self-restraint come into his hero life. But that plays into me wanting to see him grow outside Gabriel's influence and come to figure out who he is. That's what I think the "true Adrien" is, two sides of him becoming whole.
Alternatively, because they made feather babies a thing, it could be that one drawback to a senti using a miraculous means the kwami's presence influences how they behave, which can make them a tad unpredictable. So Sentidrien takes on Plagg's recklessness, selfishness, and being hand wavy at responsibility.
I will also say, I don't really associate black with Adrien's main color. I associate him more with white and yellow, largely from his white jacket and blond hair catching my eye, those are also the two colors that stand out most in his room.
Tumblr media
Though I do like the thought of white trying to take over his attire to reflect Gabriel's control, but black as a color I just don't associate with Adrien personally.
And personally, Chat Noir's design I don't mind. I think a lot of the designs for the Cat holders have been pretty solid over all, though some I'd do tweaks to. Honestly, more bothered by Ladybug's suit and the lack of designs. Especially having only Mister Bug be the only one with padding/armor. Ladybugs do have a shell so there should be something than most having skin tight suits. They don't need to be Turtle level of expected padding but still.
There is something there to the Gabriel v Chat Noir color scheme, though I think it'd work better if HM and Adrien also had a contrasting color scheme, just for another level and to back the clash between parent and child.

People. 50.6% of 87 votes are exactly 44 votes. And 49.4% is 43 votes. Tears of the Kingdom lost to Alttp for ONE VOTE
Anyway, I decided to yeet both off the poll! Let the 9th round begin! There are 8 games left, and these are really the best. I still have one game I want to vote but then the choice will be harder!
As I've written many things about totk but I don't want to give unwanted spoilers, this time the rankings are here and my opinions on the games are under the cut!
<< Previous round
The CDIs
Triforce Heroes
Zelda 2
Hyrule Warriors / Legends / Definitive
Cadence of Hyrule
Zelda 1
Four Swords Adventures
Four Swords
Oracle of Seasons/Ages
Age of Calamity
Phantom Hourglass

A link to the Past
Soo! TotK and AlttP. I played AlttP shortly after BotW on nso, when TotK still wasn't out. I liked it a lot at first, but I have to say I didn't complete it. It was technologically advanced for that time for sure, but I don't think it aged well. The dungeons didn't leave me anything valuable to remember, like other games did, the items weren't equipped easily and the story was too simple and banal.
As for TotK. Oh TotK. I got to play botw another bit before returning it (I had borrowed it from a friend), after quitting alttp. And I still liked it! Then I bought TotK and at the beginning I was extremely surprised, it looked so great. I thought Rauru was the same first sage from OoT and he had a "goat disguise" to not be recognized, like his owl form. Of course I was wrong and then I was so disappointed, i left it almost one year ago and don't have any urge to play it again, I probably will though and give it another chance because something was really good like seeing grown up characters or finding those "Zeldas" or building things or finding amiibo costumes. - the story is great for a standalone game, but for zelda? The zonai make no sense to me and contradicted everything we knew. In the past right after sksw the gerudo weren't known, the zora and rito didn't exist, the gorons weren't on death mountain. They should have made another antagonist and not Ganondorf. Zelda's sacrifice was honestly a so great part, but the ending was awful. - the "dungeons" were copies of each other. And short and banal as heck, and the dialogues after each one were always the same. - People didn't remember Link. Only some of the major characters did but the majority of the npcs didn't know him. And Link didn't have the majority of his clothes. I know the outfits weren't mandatory to get in botw (nothing was mandatory tho) but at least the most known could have been left. The gerudo outfit, the climber set, the hylian set, the luminous stone set! They made up a story for the zora tunic and that's a good thing. - The depths were empty and too dark, even after the light roots were lighted. It was too easy to get lost. - the ultrahand and fuse mechanics are amazing as well as the ascend, but they should have made them mandatory at least for some parts of the game, to give them more spotlight. - I would have loved to have way more sksw references, this isn't a flaw of course but a personal preference! Also I would have loved to have Wolf Link as an ally again, instead of the spirits of the sages. - personal experience: the game crashed after I defeated Ganondorf for the last time. I was about to see the final cutscene when the screen went black and it never played (I saw it on youtube). Everything else on the swotch worked perfectly so it was just the game. Of course it doesn't autosave or let people save the game after entering the zone before the first fight with Ganondorf so I'm back there. I hated it.

Phic Phight - Young Guns With Guns
@ishouldgetatumbler @idiot-cheesehead-archenemy @faedemon @miss-nov @summerssixecho @torscrawls
Valerie’s actually managed to get college placement lined up, which means she’s got to get a Red Huntress replacement lined up too. Unfortunately every good choice is chaotic.
That single simple letter changed so much for her, could change so much. She’s spent the past year working her ass off to get her grades up, probably giving her a seriously long term case of sleep deprivation due to ghosts still being an issue, but she’s baffled it actually worked out. She had been fully expecting nothing but rejection, instead she got in at her first pick college and it’s nanotechnology and nanoscience bachelors program; meaning she didn’t even have to settle for her second choice bachelors of science.
She had honestly cried a little, danced, jumped, went ghost hunting just for the joy of it. Phantom probably didn’t appreciate her deciding to chase It around for the heck of it, or maybe It did since it was always hard to tell with that ghost and Its goddamn puns. Plus, she knew that It knew that she knew she couldn’t actually take It down in a fight. 
She might be the only half decent ghost hunter in Amity but Phantom was beyond human ability to deal with. Which yeah, meant there was someone to deal with other absurdly powerful ghosts, but It was still a damn ghost and she had no interest in leaving all of Amity’s ghost issues in Its dead hands. Amity needs to have a human protector too. She had debated not even trying to leave Amity genuinely, to go to college; but she promised her dad she’d at least ty, that she wouldn’t give up on a ‘normal’ future. Frankly even if she does get her degree there’s zero chance of her staying gone and being ‘normal’, she loved being the Red Huntress and couldn’t see her giving it up full. Zone, she basically picked her program to help her do a better job as a ghost hunter. Knowing better how to use the nanobots and machinery that flowed through her veins would be a dream, and technically self preservations since she currently couldn’t do too much if something went majorly wrong with them. She knew enough and had enough skill to use them and modify them but she wasn’t the expert she wanted to be. This, this acceptance letter would change that, let her study nanotechnology. Even if any studying or work she did with her own self would have to be private and not actually used for school; last thing she wanted was to give someone a very stupid idea. Same reason she wasn’t about to try to suit someone up exactly like she was, heck she’s pretty sure the nanobots are very much fused to her, putting someone else in that same situation just because she wanted to go to college would be incredibly mean and just a shitty thing to do. 
So...
She refuses to leave Amity without an actually decent and not insane (Maddie and Jack) ghost hunter and she also can’t refuse to go to her ideal college. She can’t give away her suit, and wouldn’t even if she could, and she’s not going to try and basically ‘infect’ someone like what that asshole dirty bastard half ghost Vlad did. She needed a stand in, a temporary worker if you will, for at least a few years. Preferable someone she wouldn’t have to actually train and who wouldn’t either be extremely bigoted to the point of being stupid -again, Jack and Maddie- or so pro-ghost they’d be leiniate on the spooks. Unfortunately that eliminated practically everyone who was actually physically capable of fighting ghosts at all. Pretty much every adult and teen involved in sports had this weird hero worship mascot thing for Phantom and ghosts in general, many having out right crushes *cough cough* Paulina and Dash *cough cough*. That one guy who runs the little martial arts place wouldn’t be half bad but he was... a little bit insane. She could see him causing a lot of damages. There was also the fact that whoever would have to deal with Vlad, meaning they needed to be distrustful of that jerk. Unfortunately, nearly the whole town actually supports that man as mayor now since he kept the government on a leash and got funding for all the damages. Powerful people with money could get away with being awful shit people. 
... Though... 
She can think of someone who not only wouldn’t be played by Vlad but also wouldn’t exactly need training. That someone being Danny of course. Danny probably managed to cause more suffering and annoyance to Vlad than Vlad had ever caused her, and he would just laugh in Vlad’s face if the guy tried manipulating him, like he usually did. Sometimes she wonders if Danny actually knows what Vlad is. Then Danny, and his friends really, did have Fenton training and all of them were in really good shape these days. The only problem with Danny and his friends, was that they were staunchly pro-ghost and had been so before anyone else really. But, and this is a big but, they were also pro-ghost hunting. They were pro-ghost in more of a ‘ghosts are just like people and demonising them universally is dumb. Some are assholes though’ kind of way. Which... was a lot more positive than her view of ghosts, them being mostly shit stirrers who wanted to mess with the living and their personhood was questionable. 
Sam she wouldn’t even consider, she’d heard that girl justify UnderGrowth’s takeover of the town on multiple occasions, apparently she even helped the ghost with that. Valerie never understood how that girl could be both incredibly holier than thou moral and incredibly ‘humans are weeds’ immoral. 
And Tucker? Tucker should not be allowed to ever have any amount of real power, authority, or control over people. Ever. Whenever she thinks of that guy having any kind of power she can taste sand in her mouth in a really revolting way, she’s got no clue why that happens but she ain’t gonna play stupid games. 
Danny... might be a little crazy, and weird, and creepy, and stupid, but she couldn’t really think of a reason why him being what’s practically a vigilant would be bad. Zone, with how he intentionally pissed off Dash so Dash would only target him, and how protective he could be; she’s kinda surprised he wasn’t already trying to be a masked hero or whatever. Her best guess is that he didn’t want to deal with his parents if they ever found out or he just didn’t want to be ‘like them’. Fair enough. But she’s kinda low on options here. 
Sure fine maybe there were other options but, screw her, she liked Danny and she’d rather hand shit off to him than someone she’s not already friendly with. Plus there was the fact that Danny said ‘Ancients no’ like it was the obvious answer whenever anyone asked if he was leaving Amity. For whatever reason he liked this town and it’s weird ass ghost problem more than most, the fact that anyone did at all was already kinda weird. Well it meant she didn’t really have to worry about him not sticking around here, same as she really didn’t have to worry about how to track Danny down. Since, like her, he wound up getting work at the Nasty Burger, in his words ‘it’s the only place that would hire even a corpse or a Fenton’ which yeah, lots of places wouldn’t hire any Fenton purely for being a Fenton.
And if she remembers properly he should be working closing shift tonight. Nice.
Getting up and stretching, “why do I feel like getting him to agree to wear a disguise is going to more difficult than actually getting him to say yes?”, he would absolutely be the type to just rip off a mask for the dramatics of it. Popping out of her room and grinning at her dad, “I’m going out, to talk to a Fenton, just not the crazy ones, about keeping an eye on those parents of his”.
Damon blinks, putting down his book, “are the Fenton’s planning to do something crazy again?”.
Valerie shakes her head, grinning now and holding up the little envelope, “no, but someone’s gotta keep an eye on them if I’m going”.
His eyes widening instantly, book getting abandoned as he jumps up to run over and hug, “congrats! You got in! I knew you could do it!”, pulling back and pointing at her face, “now I don’t want you worrying about costs, you do still have a college fund, and I don’t want you worrying about ghosts either, missy”.
Valerie flushing, “I know I know, that’s part of why I want to go see Danny”.
“Are you giving him your suit? I don’t really want that going with you”.
“Dad, you know I can’t physically do that”.
“I know, I know, that won’t stop me from asking if you’ve figured out a way to”.
She sighs at him, shaking her head. It did kind of bother her that he had it in his head that she should want her suit ripped out of her, that she was trying to figure out how to do that. The suit was part of her as a person too, why would she want to lose it and part of what makes Valerie Valerie?
He nods strongly to himself, “I’m getting a cake”.
“Dad no-”.
“It will be cake time”.
“Dad-”.
“It will be the most audacious one I can find”.
Valerie buries her head in her hands with a laugh, “ask Paulina to make a Phantom-themed one, that was the worst thing I’ve ever seen”. Even Damon cringes, because yeah that woman was still obsessed over a dead guy.
Damon shaking his head, “it will not be ghost themed. Tech perhaps?”, and hums to himself, tapping his chin before making shooing motions at her, “if trying to wrangle that boy, or man I should say, into spying on his parents makes you more willing to go then go on”.
“There’s no way this place should be without a non-crazy human ghost hunter”.
“Heck, I’ll take up your guns if that gets you to go”.
“Dad no, you have terrible balance, Danny’s is actually a bit terrifying”. Honestly she swears that gravity doesn’t affect Danny the way it should, which if that was actually true it would one hundred percent be because of that accident his parents basically caused. Either way she moves to the door waving at him, “please don’t spend too much on the cake? Please?”. He just rolls his eyes at her as she leaves. (He absolutely did wind up spending more than she’d like on the cake, it looked like it was made out of techno Lego blocks).
It takes her all of three minutes to get to the Nasty Burgers back parking lot, she thinks that’s a new record or almost a new record, man she loves seeing improvements…. Shit she’s totally going to have to take full advantage of the on-campus gym purely to make sure she stays in shape. Maybe she should ask Sam for pointers on that? She still has no clue how that girl is so ridiculously fit without do any extracurriculars during school. She out bench pressed Dash once, it was terrifying and impressive.
“Dude, I asked for goddamn Reddened Chicken Strips, not Fenton Froth! Those aren’t even in the same food group!”.
Valerie shakes her head sympathetically as she walks in through the doors. Man she would absolutely not miss having to deal with asshole customers.
“You know? Fuck this shit. Give me back my money, hell, give me all your damn money”.
What. She goes stock still, as the guy pulls an actual normal human gun and points it in Danny’s face. Shit. How should she deal with this? How could she even? She fights ghosts! With supernatural guns and a hoverboard! Not a cops badge and a freaking Glock or whatever! Quickly ducking under a table, she has no clue how her nano bots would handle her getting shot by a regular human bullet. Would it even recognise the injury since it wasn’t ectoplasmicly based? Could it even repair non-ectoplasmic injuries in the first place?! This is what she means by she needs to be more of an expert on the stuff!
Then Danny, typical fucking insane stupid Danny, says something horrifically stupid, “whatcha gonna do? Shoot me?”, scoffing like that’s ever remotely what you should do with a gun to your face, Danny might be a little too desensitised to weapons, “you can't kill me because then I'll just turn into ghost, and you'll have a Real problem on your hands because I will absolutely haunt your ass to the Zone and back. No, we need to work this out another way”.
“The only way this is working out is if you give me all the damn money! They don’t even pay you enough to put up a fight anyways”.
“I happen to actually like this place and what? Are you offering me a paycheck? No? Then get fucked and go get lost in the sauce or something, cause yeah I definitely ain’t paid to deal with your poorly packaged human shit”.
On one hand, this level of ‘I don’t care’ and reckless self endangerment was kinda necessary for her job but he doesn’t even have on a helmet and this isn’t a freaking ghost! Should she try throwing a chair at the robber? And where the hell was the manager? Other employees? Oh don’t tell her that Danny agreed to work alone like a dumbass, the manager was probably off fucking gambling again, jerk.
The robber squawks, “what?!? Dude this is a real gun!”.
“You say that like I care. You know what else is real? This bored unimpressed face, go try to show off how big your dick is somewhere else”.
Oh zone damn it, Danny. At this rate he’s going to get himself shot.
“This isn’t even a big gun!”.
“So what you’re saying is it’s the perfect size for you”.
And then the shot rings out, fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck Fuck FUCK! Valerie popping up, ghost hunter gun in hand only to see Danny having apparently blocked the goddamn near point blank shot with a fucking tray. How???? Danny then smacks the guy, one-handed, with said tray, “bad, I’d like to keep my pretty face thank you very much, it’s my money maker”.
Valerie blurting out, “what the Zone!”.
The robber guy stumbles back, looking from the tray-wielding Danny to Valerie and her red and black gun, “ah fuck”, backing up a bit and looking for an exit that she wasn’t literally right beside it. Like hell she’s letting some jackass that tried to shoot Danny leave that easily.
Her snarling, “don’t even try it, asshole”, and keeps her gun on him. Danny apparently has a similar idea, grabbing a fist full of nasty sauce packets, “I will set these on fire and blow all of us up, all my fucks have flowneth off. I’m over my fuck budget and I’m now in fucking debt!”.
Both the robber and Valerie still, slowly staring at Danny. Valerie blinking harshly, “Danny, put those down”.
He pouts at her, “no. It’ll scratch my explosive itch”.
“Danny if you do that then he’ll haunt you and you’ll be the one with the problems”. She’s slightly rethinking trying to make a stand-in of him. He had the guts but come on!
Danny blinks like he hadn’t thought of that, “oh right, I mean… what’s another ghost wanting to put me on their shit list? Am I right?”, and holds the sauce packets up a little higher, and pulls a blow torch out from under the counter.
Why… was there a freaking blowtorch there??? It wasn’t there yesterday??? “Where did you get that”.
Danny shrugs, turning the blowtorch on, the flames are loud, “Brittney broke her lighter, brought this instead as a gag”.
The robber drops his gun and puts his hands, “nope nope nope, I’m not playing chicken with that. Make a citizens arrest or whatever”.
Danny smirks, “oh I don’t know, I kinda want to blow you up now and the blowtorch is already on”, and wiggles the blowtorch around, “eh? Eh? Eh? Come on, it’ll be fun. We could start a fireworks show out of building pieces?”.
Valerie glares before hurling her gun at his head, his neck cracking a little when his head tilts as the gun bounces off of his skull. “Stop it, you little shit”, and stomps over to the guy who smartly doesn't move. At least she does actually have handcuffs, they’re made for ghosts but whatever, the guy gets handcuffed aggressively, “don’t be a dumbass before you make Danny become more of a dumbass”.
Danny apparently takes offence to that like he has any right to, “hey!”. At least he’s put the blowtorch back.
What he didn’t do was turn the damn thing off, the counter is now on fire. “Danny the counter!”.
Danny looking down at the slight burning and flicker of flames, “okay that was stupid, note to self don’t handle flammables on forty two hours of sleep deprivation”.
“Well put it out!”.
The robber grumbles, “I made a mistake, lord forgive me and don’t let me get burned to death by an overworked underpaid fast food employee”.
Danny points at the guy, instead of dealing with the flames, “that’s what you get for trying to shot me! And! For trying to steal money from the bestest nastiest restaurant in town!”.
“Why are you throwing the damn slogan at him! Put out the fire Danny!”.
Danny slams his hand directly into the fire, “no!”, and then, “ow!”, and that finally makes him deal with it by smashing his hand, that is full of nasty sauce packets, into the flames. Smacking his hands on the fire a couple of times before realising what he’s done, going wide-eyed, “oh shit”. The robber is crying. Danny’s over the counter in a second grabbing the robber and her by the arm and fucking booking it. It takes her a bit to get her footing and to also run of her own volition; Danny is notably faster than her.
The explosion blows out a wall, all three of them getting mildly covered in rubble, Valerie sticking her head out… the blowtorch is still on, looking back at Danny, “you stay put while I turn off your fuck up. Maine is gonna be so pissed”.
“Hey, he should have known better than to let anyone work a closing shift alone, especially me”.
“You should know better than to agree to doing that!”, her huffing and running off to get the blowtorch, getting slightly covered in ash as she does so. Stupid Danny. By the time she’s gotten back Danny’s just shaking the handcuffed robber back and forth blaming him for damaging the best fast food joint in town. “Danny stop that, before you give him whiplash”.
“He deserves it!”. The robber just groans and then passes out. That at least gets Danny to stop, “shit, did I kill him?”, and then sighing in relief at the guy clearly still breathing, dropping the man in an uncomfortable looking heap on the ground. Then looking to Valerie, “so besides being my unwitting audience, why’d you come by? You don’t usually get your Nasty on when you don’t work?”.
She blinks, giving him a disgusted look, “never say that again, ew”, sighing, “well I was going to brag about my college acception but I’m seriously reconsidering that”.
He brightens up immediately, it’s almost blinding, “oh! Congrats! You hanging up the hoverboard then?”.
“More like take a vacation- hey wait what!”, scowling at him and sticking her arms out to the side, “since when have you known!?!”.
“You threw a red and black ecto-gun at my head, I’m dumb not stupid! And who the fuck else would have ghost handcuffs just on their person?! Even my folks don’t do that!”.
“Damn you!”, Valerie groans into her hands, “you are way too casual about this to have just found out”.
“Val, my uncles a psycho half ghost, there’s a portal to a death dimension under my bedroom, one of my friends is adopted by a genocidal plant god and the others a reincarnated pharaoh. You could reveal you’re literally god themselves and Lucifer somehow sharing the same body and I wouldn’t be phased”.
There was so much wrong with all of that. “That’s really messed up”,
“I know!”.
What is she supposed to do with this? With him? Also though… “you know about Vlad? And what the zone is wrong with Sam and Tucker?!?”.
Danny snorts, “too much”, shrugging, “and yeah, that guys abducted me to try and get me to be his happy son way too many times not to notice he was freaky. Also, his super illegal creepy underground lab doesn’t have doors, how would he get in there if he wasn’t spooky”.
“How do you know he even has a lab if there’s no doors?”.
“Eh play enough stupid games and get him to blast you through enough walls and you’ll find it”.
… It’s a miracle Danny hasn’t gotten himself killed. Making him her replacement might just improve his life’s survivability, that’s was so screwed up. Huffing and sticking a hand out down to him, “well if you’re going to annoy one sorta ghost, why not annoy all of them and be my replacement?”.
He blinks at her before laughing loudly, rocking back a little, “you fucking crazy hunter, or huntress whatever”, and grabs her hand to pull himself up, dragging the robber guy up with him in one hand, “eh fuck it, why not? Note, I have no clue how your suit works beyond breaking the law of physics and matter”.
She shakes her head at him, “I’m not giving you my suit, dummy”.
“So you’re trying to employ me as your replacement but making me fight naked, got it”.
“Ew!”, she whacks him over the head for that. Crossing her arms at him, “I’ll just make you something similar, and you can help with that, you jerk”, rolling her eyes, “you know ghost hunter tech so it’s whatever and it’s not like I started out with a freaking nanobot suit”.
“Can it be white and black, you know, the total opposite of Phantom’s? Since I’m the living Danny?”.
Why did she think this was a good idea? “You, are so stupid”, looking to the robber, “we should take him to the jailhouse”.
Danny looking down at the unconscious man, “I mean, probably? He’s so gonna think this was just a really weird fever dream”.
“And whose fault is that? You might cause more chaos than the ghosts do”.
“Sounds like that’s a you problem, and a town problem”.
Valerie sighs, “at least try to keep the other Fenton’s from causing chaos”, starting to walk off towards the jailhouse, Danny hoisting the guy up onto his shoulder in a fireman carry.
Him grumbling, “you say that like I can control them”, tilting his head, “wait does this mean Vlad’s gonna start paying me? Paying me in a way that isn’t clearly a bribe?”, snickering, “he’s gonna be so unimpressed you went with me of all people”.
Valerie smirking to herself, “that’s half the point. I couldn’t pick someone who’d actually trust that lying snake”.
“He’s more of a bat than a snake, you know, the whole knock off vampire thing he’s got going on”.
“Zone you’re a dumbass”.
The cheeky smirk is audible in his response, “I know”.
Was Vlad mad about her choice? Absolutely. Was she? Absolutely not. Regardless of being at college she tried to keep up to date with what’s going on in Amity, Danny was absolutely terrorising the wealthy half dead man. The random insults he was putting into practically every public interview or announcement was making the feud between the mayor and ‘Monochrome’ very public and everyone was debating why Vlad even employed this guy and where the Red Huntress found him.
Vlad kept calling her and offering to pay for things just to get her back sooner and apparently ‘Monochrome’ fighting Phantom really annoyed Vlad, which to be fair what she’s seen of those little ‘chases’ was usually really absurd. ‘Monochrome’ dumped melted cheese on the ghost once and then bailed, it did make Technus confused enough that Phantom caught the other ghost easily though.
She’s got no clue how Danny convinced everyone that Monochrome wasn’t an Amity native. That was just baffling but did help with the ‘secret identity’ thing. She’d definitely not realised just how much Danny looked exactly like Phantom though, so she officially actually agrees with Jack’s and Maddie’s insane theory that Phantom did actually copy their son’s appearance. She’d bet her pocket change that Phantom’s real face was some kind of eldritch horror abomination, and copying Danny was to seem more ‘human’; stupid manipulative ghosts.
At least it did seem Amity was in good, if chaotic, hands and Danny was actually keeping the damn suit on and the Fenton’s were actually respecting him. Danny’d called and bragged about that, she’d been happy for him.
Maybe…
Maybe he’d continue doing it, even when she got back, even if he seemed to view it as very firmly temporary in a way that almost seemed… sad.
End.
Prompts: Well, you can't kill me because then I'll turn into ghost, and you'll have a Real problem on your hands. No, we need to work this out another way. The only option left was surrender All Amity Parkers know to never work a closing shift alone. How could the wrong Nasty Burger order lead to this? Valerie got accepted at her desired college. Since she'll be leaving Amity Park, she needs to find a new replacement to keep the ghosts at bay while she's gone. Someone tries to rob the Nasty Burger but sadly for them the person working the register happens to be a newly employed Danny Fenton. Danny has an hour left of his shift and does not have enough energy left to play nice.

I'm literally going to scrub all the scenes in the Donbros vs Zenkai trailer, because I'm so happy for it
Tumblr media
Here's Tarou and Jirou somewhere. I assume somewhere classy, since suit and the alcohol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scenes I don't have much to say
Tumblr media
First time I'm noticing the donbrothers glasses have those decorations like when transformed.
Tumblr media
They seem to have transformed Donbura back to Colorful, somehow. I mean, you almost never see again the base of the old team in this teams up, but it seems Donbura being Black and White Colorful actually helped a lot with it.
Tumblr media
I wanna know who liked the Mochi Wald episode so much we're basically having it again.
Tumblr media
Kaito's dad is getting kidnap by pirates this time. Look, I don't have the best opinion of Zocks as a person, he's great as a character, but as a person keep him very far away from me, but this is Kaito's dad
Tumblr media
That's a Sentai Gear he's holding. If I have to guess, he's the Kikai-ki and kidnapped Kaito's dad so he could force him to do some fake Tojirou Gears, instead of forcing Flint, because he's really nice with his family, and the first Fake Tojiro Gear created was the Mochi World Gear. Eventually the Avataro Gear is going to jump ship, I assume to the Wald, and we're going to have a classic enemy combination again, finally.
Of course, I'm always wrong, so, don't even take this seriously.
Tumblr media
By the background, I think this is Stacy at the Crocodai-oh, and, the one in the foreground... seems to be Hakaizer????
Considering Hakaizer is Proto-Zenkaizer, maybe Kaito's dad decided to give himself a Gearlinger. Why not?
Tumblr media
I'm more interested in the flyers in the background honestly. The resolution is not very good, but I think Gaon is there somehow.
Tumblr media
And now they are in a weird laboratory of sorts. Maybe here is where they do the fake Tojirou Gears (Or, it is the Mochi World trapped yet again. Who knows)
Tumblr media
It seems the one who's going to keep Donbura is going to be Don Murasame, which is a very Donbros!Kaito thing to do
Tumblr media
Here's Gaon and Kaito probably doing some Mochi Dealing in the back alleys... the thing that gets me the most is the fact Kaito is using 2 pairs of sunglasses. The Super Sentai Costume team are back with the little jokes for this man wardrobe and I cannot be happier
Tumblr media
Where the heck are you Sonoi?
Tumblr media
Look at the person at the end of the formation.
HE CAN TRANSFORM BACK
SOMEHOW
GOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media
IT'S HAKAIZER IN THE DONBROS SIDE OF THE FORMATION! (Between Tarou and Saruhara)
Now I can forgive them for not give me TwokaiFlint. It's still a loss, but I can forgive
Also, the VS using the styling of the Gears is so cute.
Tumblr media
This is not the best shot of this two, but Gold goes with Gold I guess
Tumblr media
I understand the reason of the Armor switch. I don't think either of them look very good, but ok.
Tumblr media
And Secchan is the last shot.
Tumblr media
Here's the collectibles!
The Sword has by the side images of the Kikanoid gears in it so, MAYBE they are going to fuse Don Murasame style into the sword? I dunno, I just want to describe my Zenkaiger collection as "I have him, I have him in black and white, I have all this four, I have the gun that made them one, I have all the Red's DLC and I have all this four as a sword"
I just think that might be a very Zenkaiger thing to do.
And MAYBE they are going to explain the True Hero thing. Who knows at this point

Okay, so it's officially been a year since I started playing, and I was wondering if I wanted to do something for it...or even if I could do something, but I eventually came up with the idea to go over my squad in order of first acquiring them, all the way to the present
(I swear to Terra, if I get something notable from free pulls before this comes up, I'm gonna explode)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...So uh, I wanted to have Mudrock and Surtr in the same picture, but they were too far apart for that, so screw it, I'm going with two pictures at once here! Anyways, in case you didn't know, I got into this game because of Mudrock and waited until she was rate-up before rerolling, and this is basically what I ended up with. Crazy thing, I actually got her twice in the same 10 roll, so I got to enjoy her with -1 DP cost immediately! And then when I went to pull more in hopes of getting Surtr (who was the shoperator at the time) I immediately got her from a single headhunting ticket! Amazing!! And yeah, that's why I wanted them in the same picture together.
Anyways, you can also see Angelina and Bagpipe there. Angelina was from the Newbie pool, and like Mudrock I also got two of her. But...meh, I didn't really feel like building her up too much. I did e1 her, but honestly, if I got her much later on, she'd probably be sitting in e0 Purgatory. Bagpipe, on the other hand, was the first 6* I got from a Top Operator tag, and that was a heck of a lucksack! I actually got her twice total from recruits, and then another pot from the CC shop. Two more pots and she'll be epic!
so uh, anyone else in those two screenshots...Oh, Utage? I got her that early?? Dang, never realized she was with me for as long as Mudrock XD. Also Myrtle is also e2, but I think pretty much everyone has e2d her, if only for access to e2 supports. Perfumer and Cuora were much later e2s, sometime after Il Siracusano, I think? Oh yeah, I guess Indra is a bit notable in how she's a recruit-exclusive 5*, but that's it.
Tumblr media
Hmm, a bit less things of note here. Lumen was very recently promoted to e2, although I did neglect to get his potentials since I was a bit preoccupied with getting Mudrock to e2. At least his event should rerun real soon. Meteor, Cliffheart, Courier, and Ethan I promoted to e1 since I've seen guides use them pretty often. Gavial I kinda quickly fell in love with after her Alter came out, so that was definitely a waifu e2 there! Saria tho, oh boy. She's so freaking awesome! Definitely one of my best recruit lucksacks!
Now, I think it was around this time where CC#9 started. I had Surtr that I've seen Risk 18 strats for, and I've seen strats that used Horn, so I basically fused those two strats together so I could use easier risks overall.
Tumblr media
...Ah, funny that the three e2s on this image are those three. Anyways, Exusiai was, yet again, another recruit lucksack, and she does so much damage! Well, so long as the enemies don't have too much defense, but there's ways to make up for that. Texas was from the pinboard missions, nothing unusual there. Lappland was from the 5* selector new players get, and I got her because man, having her earlier would've made SN so much less painful...but also, just having her in general is nice. Also, Elysium I got as my guarantee 5* when pulling on a banner that had him, so that was pretty sweet.
Tumblr media
Hoo boy, here we go. Imma be real, when I first saw Sideroca, my mind instantly went "I have to get her" and, well, she's the welfare operator from the W event, so of course I did. Also, you might think it's funny that Gavialter and Blaze are right next to each other. Well, I rolled a bit on the banner in hopes of getting Chalter (Not that hard tho, since the odds weren't exactly in my favor) and I ended up getting Gavialter. As for Blaze...shoperator. Even after rolling Gavialter. XD. I just think she's cute! Also, Click was promoted because the event made me realize how weak my caster game was at the time, so I thought I'd e2 her as a sort of budget option. Wasn't really ready to promote Amiya at the time, so this had to be an acceptable compromise.
(If you're wondering why I didn't mention Amiya before...did I really need to? Everyone has to promote her in order to complete chapter 8. That's just how it is.)
Oh right, around this time was when the first Trials for Navigator event started. I...can't quite recall if I did Ultimate TN-4, but I'm pretty sure I got all the rewards at least, so there's that.
Oh, and there's also CC#10. I...barely remember what I did, and past me didn't exactly do a good job of actually posting the clear screen of risk 18. Man, they really dropped the ball on that. I definitely baited the cannon with Mudrock tho, no way am I gonna forget her pivotal role there!
OKAY, I'M LOOKING OVER MY SCREEN AND THE SCREENSHOTS I TOOK AND I COMPLETELY MISSED BLUE POISON! Ugh, she deserves better than to be skipped over, though to be fair, I was trying to focus on getting all my 6*s screenshotted at least, but anyways, she's e2 as well.
Tumblr media
Anyways, Jaye there is e2, my first male e2 actually, and Ptilopsis I actually got from the 5* selector we got last anniversary (I think I'm gonna go for Warfarin with the next one btw, not like I can lucksack her in headhunting outside of kernal) and she's been very helpful! Astgenne, the welfare from the seemingly mythical Dorothy event, was so cute I couldn't not e2 her! Pinecone I e2'd cuz I was coping about not having Chalter, and Hibiscus Alter I e2'd cuz purple hair is too good! As for Fartooth...I considered building her, heck I even promoted her to e1, but I just have too many other operators that I would rather build.
Tumblr media
Hoo boy, this. This is undoubtedly the start of where my power skyrocketed! Let's get the elephant in the room out of the way, I originally wasn't gonna go for Mlynar, but I decided that I might as well go until a 6* (though my track record tends to go otherwise if I don't get a good result) and I thankfully got him, and oh boy has he been integral in a lot of my hard clears! Nightingale...right, I got her and Fartooth from the standard banner with Saga and Mountain cuz those were both 6*s I had an interest in. Well, unlike Fartooth, I actually built her (though it was long after pulling her) and she's been pretty helpful keeping my team alive through heavy arts damage. Also Proviso I promoted to e2 and it had nothing to do with her base skill and everything to do with how cute she is XD. Whislash I was absolutely dying to get so you bet your bottom dollar I e2'd her almost immediately! Ifrit I got from yellow cert shop, and she's been pretty helpful when I can make good use of her. Chen I just happened to get with a Top Op + Nuker combo cuz why not? Didn't like my other options at the time much. Mostima, unfortunately, was a Top Op recruit that I didn't want cuz I wanted Ceobe, but oh well.
Tumblr media
Anyways, if Mlynar wasn't enough, how about the time I pulled FREAKING SKALTER WHILE BREAKING PITY AFTER SPARK? Like, she would've been my spark if I had lucksacked Nearl Alter, so that's basically the same exact event in my mind. Anyways, aside from her, I didn't get any off-rates in that banner, so I was left with 2 Penance and 4 Texas Alters from that banner. Ceobe, as I mentioned, was a huge want for me, so I of course got her from the yellow cert shop, and then Horn was from the 6* selector at that time, and she's also been super helpful for me since then. Especially for IS#3, dear lord is she good against the first endboss there.
Right, this is around when CC#11 started. Risk 18 was absurdly easy that I didn't even need a guide for that (though my huge spike in power was also a factor.) I did push for higher risk though, and ended up with risk 25.
Tumblr media
Almost getting towards the end here. Mizuki was a spook from the Gnosis banner (I primarily wanted Aurora) and, while he may not be the best 6* I could've got, I still wanna e2 him real soon. Kal'tsit was from yellow cert shop (which was during that absolutely horrific time period of Yostar forgetting Saga exists) and Magallan was just a random Top Op roll. Not building her, too small brain to use her well. Mountain was from the gamma headhunting ticket, and he was the one I wanted the least, but I still wanted him...even if my post at the time didn't look like I did I am an unappreciative jerk but anyways, it turned out to be for the better that I got him over Pozyomka. Lin was an absolute lucksack from free rolls on the banner, and I actually went out of my way to e2 her during the event! Lava Alter I e2'd cuz again, purple hair. Then there's Eyja, who was another yellow cert grab. Do I need to say anything about her? She's been the top Caster in the game since Day 1, with only Goldenglow being a possible threat to that title! (though for top caster in my heart, that title belongs to Ceobe XD)
I think both Trials for Navigator 2 and CC#12 were well after this, but the later operators I got weren't that important for that, so I'll just go over them here. Except...I barely remember what I did for TN#2. I just know that I did the Ultimate trial, so there's that. CC#12 though, my memory's a bit more clear on that. I did some strategizing for a few risks above 18, then changed them a bit to get even higher, all the way up to 26, exceeding CC#11 by a single risk! I honestly feel proud about that!
Tumblr media
And now we have reached the present day. Rosa and Pozy both spooked me during the Yato Alter banner, the latter of which I built up quickly. And oh boy, is she super powerful! Even in the current event, she's been integral in dealing with the boss super quickly in my auto deploy setup! But Rosa sadly will take a backseat while I wait for Typhon, because believe you me, there's no timeline where I don't get her! Yato of course I had to hit the hard pity for, but she's been working very well for me. Weedy was another random top op. She was supposedly good for CC#12, but that didn't really convince me to build her sadly. Saga I have waited TOO FREAKING LONG for her to be in the yellow cert shop. And of course, Goldenglow I got with the 6* selector from the store as of now! Oh, also I got FEater to e1 max cuz she's super cute and I hope to e2 her some day.
Aaaaaand that's it. Man, it took a while to get this done that I actually wrote this in a few sessions cuz my attention span is...not great. But at least I got it done in time!

Friday Night in Hell AU BUT only the FNF Lullaby Mod Characters
Sorry to the Hypno, Alexis, and Hell Bell cast fans.. because I forgot about them! I don't really think Hypno would fit? And honestly, Beelze and HELL BELL would not really change in the mod? ..Alexis wouldn't change either. And I would have no idea what to do with Dawn! (Made ironic now that Part 2 was made. Go check that out btw!)
Uh.. *ahem* I did everyone else though. And also Wally. Don't look at me, I think Wally would make for a sad fnf song.
~Lost Silver - Shade (It's a boy named Ethan, who apparently was killed near Mt. Silver. It does not appear under normal circumstances, only appearing to those of pure heart. Apparently its appearance can either pacify or terrify, depending on who it shows itself too. If proven worthy, it will give you a Cyndaquil, Pikachu, or on very rare occasions, a Celebi. If you are not... well hope you survive if you are not worthy!)
~Blake - Yuki-Onna (Male) (Compared to Mount Red, this boy has a lower kill count. He's a lot less mangled too, being one of his victims. He hides his missing jaw with a medical mask, and bandaged up his chest area where his heart was taken out of him. He will try to protect Mount Red's victims with his Typhlosion, but they usually end up dead before they can escape. All except for Gray, that is.)
~Mount Red - Yuki-Onna (Male) (He was killed by an ex-lover on Mt. Silver. Said lover would take his own life following the killing. If you see Red in a hanbok, hiding his face with his fan, then it's already too late. Male victim's often lose their jaws, whilst female victim's have their hearts torn out.. then later eaten by Red. Killing is hard work when you are a malevolent spirit!)
~Blue Tears - Onryo (He killed himself following his murder on his ex-lover. Now he causes disasters nearby Mt. Silver to prevent people from losing their lives. Most misunderstood him, deeming him a malicious spirit, but in truth he has saved lives in doing this. It's probably cause he's aware of why people are trying to go to Mt. Silver, they want to battle his ex!)
~Silver - Specter (He guards the Ruins of Alph, the location of which Ethan hides within. He will kill those who are not pure of heart by transforming into a Feraligatr! Oh wait, no it's an illusion. The victims usually die by his hands to prevent them from potentially getting (or harming) Celebi.)
~S!3v3n - Wraith (The younger brother of Mike that took his own life after feeling immense guilt over his actions. He tends to avoid Mike whenever possible, as his spirit was fused with Miki's as a last resort from Missing No. He looks more human than Charizard though.. and victims who do not heed Gray's warnings tend to end up as charred corpses.)
~Mike - Revenant (The older brother of Steven that was murdered, and is now seeking revenge. In the sense that his hair turned into wires that can extend to strangle his victims. Some of these victims were just onlookers caught in the middle. And Gray almost became a victim before Red intervened!)
~Glitchy Red - Living Glitch (The guy who isn't a spirit, but lives with Gray because he got his ass haunted. Don't annoy him, and he won't kill you. He has to tolerate so many spirits daily, so it's best not to make that looming anger worse. He also can go into his game and back out whenever he pleases.)
~Wally - Wandering Spirit (A young boy who died due to over-exerting himself during training. Should you seek him out, you must first go through Gardevoir. Even when her trainer was long dead, she still protects his spirit. Often times, he isn't 'home', but if your lucky he'll challenge you to a friendly battle. No consequences for losing, just the sting of defeat. Some hold back on Wally, but others don't. Hackers tend to glitch out of existence if they try to challenge Wally. No one knows why though.)
~Gray - Human (The poor sucker that's haunted to heck and back. Red has to protect him from death from time to time, much to his chagrin. He's constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Worse yet is most of the stress comes from Shinto! (not that she's doing anything bad tho-))
~Shinto - Unknown (A poorly made hypno that seems to love Gray in a friendly way. Even if Gray is like.. scared of her. She can turn into a human! Which confuses the heck out of Gray and Red of all people.)

review of metal subgenres by me
20. christian metal
i can’t help but feel like someone is just. very confused here. it might be me idk. but someone is definitely confused.
19. traditional heavy metal
Classic. Timeless. But in the way that a top hat is timeless i.e. it’s gonna get a lot of weird looks in the grocery store
18. metalcore
please keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times. 
17. nu metal
honestly i like a lot of nu metal, it is totally enjoyable as music, but lbr it is never going to not be the redheaded stepchild of the metal family. it should probably move to another town, change its name, and just live its best life or sth.
16. glam metal
the ‘80s called. it didn’t ask for its sound back. it just needs help getting out of these skintight leopard-print leather pants.
15. melodic metal
this is a fuckin weird one, honestly. i feel like this is only an adjective to other genres, and it’s an element that changes the properties of whatever it alloys with in unexpected ways. on its own, it is undefinable and defies assessment.
14. sludge
this is the most aptly named genre in existence. i could not hope to describe it better than saying yeah it sounds like sludge. not that there’s anything wrong with that.
13. black metal
some great tunes but i’m exhausted just thinking about researching every fucking band to find out whether they’re sketchy. or like. how sketchy exactly. like. “apolitical” only half the band is friends with nazis sketchy? or...?
12. groove metal
great, let’s talk shit about phil anselmo. (it does have a decent groove tho.)
11. doom metal
you’re 19, lying on your bed on a stormy saturday afternoon, super depressed and listlessly pondering the pointlessness of existence. this is your soundtrack.
10. death metal
[incomprehensible growling directly into the mike]
9. thrash metal
when it’s good, it’s really fuckin good. when it’s mediocre... it... all sounds the fucking same i’m sorry but it does
8. progressive metal
aka musicians showing off. Mozart would play prog.
7. goth metal
you’re 19, lying on your bed on a stormy saturday afternoon, super depressed... and it’s kinda sexy, actually
6. industrial metal
we’re going to be here all night arguing about what bands are part of this genre, aren’t we.
5. symphonic metal
do you need some operatic soprano shit in your life, with full orchestration? heck yeah you do. here you go.
4. power metal
I AM RIDING A DRAGON YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID
3. pirate metal
rum rum rum rum rum rum rum 
2. viking metal
the best moshpits, for some reason. everyone in this scene owns at least one mjolnir pendant and probably also leather bracers and a ticket to valhalla. warning: may cause beard growth. points for lots of songs about thor and loki
1. folk metal
we have fiddle. we have bagpipes. we have flutes. we have joiking and throatsinging. we have copious drinking songs. we have pagan imagery, long hair, some fur and horns and antlers with our leather, and pleasant fuckin dispositions. we will collectively sit down on a sticky, beer-covered venue floor and row our longship together before getting up and bodyslamming each other happily for another hour. half the time the lyrics are not in a language you speak but it doesn’t matter. and it has the range, babey: cheerful drinking songs, high-energy battle music, metal songs to hammer metal to, melancholy old folk songs done metal style, gorgeously haunting odes to nature and invoking the supernatural making you feel like you ought to be listening to it alone on a misty mountaintop in the moonlight, everything. the fact that metal seems to fuse perfectly with literally every culture’s traditional folk music to become something unique and interesting and revelatory about both the folk tradition itself and about metal... that’s. like. fuckin superb, you funky little humans. this is the best metal genre and you cannot change my mind. 
Bonus: symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan fennoscandian metal
heck yeah

Tumblr media
in our cthulhu game, being fused with Bendy the Lurker (who, i cannot stress enough, is an eldritch horror in addition to being our cartoon friend) gives Joey some terrifying inky powers so honestly why WOULDNT you just immediately pounce on the first person who catches you somewhere you’re not supposed to be while distorting your body in mind-rending ways?????? 
anyway here’s some out of context quotes for Session Four under the cut
[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]
[Sammy] Are you planning to break in? [Joey] I wasn't not planning to.... not... break in.... [Jack] Jack might be giving Joey a look. [Joey] They broke in first! [Sammy] Sammy shrugs and nods, this makes sense.
[Henry] I want to say by now Henry has finally read the room and is also looking at Jack. [Joey] (Henry has realised it's Looking At Jack Time) [Jack] Now he's mute AND self-conscious!!
[Jack] He's going to write "I'll be fine," pause briefly, and then write, "probably."
[GM, as Bendy] Are you sure you want us to go alone? [Sammy] I'M sure I DON'T want him to be alone! [Joey] I won't-- I won't be alone! I can't be alone right now! We know this!! [Bendy] Uh-huh. [Henry] Mm-hm. [GM] A skeptical look is interjected.
[Sammy] But if we told you to go and take a look but not do anything stupid, I'm not sure you're capable of that!! [Joey] I'm-- wait. I can do non-stupid things!!
[Henry] While Joey is getting ready in his room, Henry has already stolen his plate and is finishing it.
[Sammy] I'm just laughing at the concept of Joey and Sammy being in separate parties but like, watching each other across the street, [Joey, interrupting]: in a NON gay way. [Sammy] Mostly not gay. [Joey] Definitely Not Gay [Jack] The MOST heterosexual, [Jack] That's his middle name! Joey Heterosexual Drew! [Sammy] That's what I remember from the book, yeah.
[GM] Roll lockpicking. [Joey] Uh, that was, a bad roll, so instead of pushing it, can I use one of my... points, and just unlock it with my finger? [GM] .....SURE, [Sammy] WHAT. WHAT!! WHAT IS HAPPENING. [GM] Henry should make a Spot(Hidden) roll! [Henry] oKAY??? [Sammy] PLEASE make this Henry, I need to know what's happening
[GM] It looks like a landing, and a staircase, going up! [Henry] Still no one around? No symbols? [GM] Nope! [Joey] Then let's go up! [Henry] ...didn't you say this building was one story, though? [GM] :) I did! [Henry] oh..... [Joey] OH,......
[GM] There IS a person puttering around in there. [Joey] Hmmm... I did say I wasn't going to do anything stupid.....
[Joey] *inspecting pen covered in weird goo* Can I smelllllll it? [GM] ,,,,YOU SURE CAN,
[GM] So you currently have this symbol-painter gaping up at you guys at the top of the stairs [Joey] UM, [Jack] He sees it. He is looking. [Joey] UHHH,, [Henry] No! He does not see it, he is looking away!!
[Joey] I feel like we should just,,, graB HIM, AND uH, i- th- uh, drag him up the roof, or pin him down--- I don't knOW, dEFERS TO BENDY! [GM] I mean, Bendy's instincts are definitely to pounce on something that is doing something he doesn't want!
[Henry] uh, I, uh, w- wELL HENRY, was planning to put his words together, and try to convince this man that, y'know, we're supposed to be here, like we're roof maintenance or something, but then JOEY just fUCKING JUMPED ON HIM! [GM] Down the stairs! [Henry] DOWN THE STAIRS! I think his first action in this fight is going to be "Joey, what the FUCK"
[GM, cheerfully] Joey also needs to make a Sanity Check, his body is distorting in horrifying ways! [Joey] (Joey made it!) [GM] Just one sanity damage each! No big deal. [Sammy] YEAH, no big deal!! Just part of your sanity, dripping away!!!!
[Sammy] This is NOT the jungles of Haiti, this is an establishment in New Orleans, please don't murder people! [Joey] He wasn't planning on murdering, he just wanted to make him shoosh! [Sammy] YOUR METHOD MATTERS!! [GM, speaking for Bendy] ...There might have been some miscommunication in the desired result,
[Jack] Joey's lowest skill is "stay out of trouble" and his highest skill is "get self out of the trouble you got yourself into”
[GM] The Lurker rolled a fumble, so he's super distracted with something... he is NOT paying attention. [Sammy] Super distracted with all of Joey's human emotions at, uh, murder, which is normally such a fun, wholesome activity!
[Sammy] Sanity check for the greatest horror of all: TAXES.
[GM] Weirdly, Henry thinks he recognises this from descriptions he's read in some of the books he's looked through of Joey's; he thinks this is a drink that lets you survive in the vacuum of space!! [Sammy] WHAT [Henry] Why the heck would they need that... [Henry] ......how big is this jug? [Sammy] (*laughing* "I wanna survive the vacuum of space! Lemme at it!") [GM] It's like a gallon? [Sammy] (glug glug glug!) [Henry] He's not going to DRINK it, he was just considering taking it! [Sammy] I've seen Henry go at bacon soup. I believe he can do it.
[Sammy] This isn't important and I PROMISE I'm not going to get distracted but I just want to know if there's any nice instruments in here,
[Sammy] He's not going to wait, he's just going to turn around and leave. [Jack] Jack will -- now that he can use his words! -- say, “thanks for the help anyway,” and then go follow Sammy.
[Sammy] Ugh, Sammy might take a drink, [Jack] Jack is very much not going to take any drinks. [Joey] (Jack takes the drink OUT of Sammy's hand and hands it to somebody else!) [Jack] ......he MIGHT do that,
[another player returns to the call] [Sammy] Welcome back! Sammy did not do a good job vaulting over a fence, in case you were wondering, which is why my HP is now listed here!
[GM] He makes like he's going to close the door again. [Joey] (Stick your foot in the door!) [Jack] HMMM, tries to think if I have any good words for being polite, [Jack] “hey, no, please don't shut the door haha your so sexy,”
[Sammy] Cool, Sammy will walk in. [Jack] Jack will thank him! And walk in.
[Jack] (i'M REALLY DISTRACTED BY THE CAT,) [Sammy] (I'M SORRY!! IT'S MEOW TIME!!!) [Sammy] (The cat needs us to know about the King in Yellow, it's VERY important) [GM] The rune expert's cat, clearly. [Jack] I think this guy needs a cat, in these trying times.
[Jack] Jack would definitely have been petting the cat, I'm just mentioning that.
[GM] He opens the door and gestures inside. [Sammy] O...kay, looks inside closet? [GM] "Go, go on, look, look!" [Jack] (LOOK IN THE CLOSET, I'VE GOT ALL THIS WINE!!)
[Sammy] I- I reaLLY THOUGHT,, THE OTHER GUYS WERE GONNA BE THE ONES WHO GOT IN TROUBLE,,,
[Joey] Is there a window? [Jack] IN THE CLOSET???
[GM] You definitely sense something in one of the shoeboxes. [Sammy] SAMMY'S TRYING VERY HARD TO IGNORE THINGS THAT HE SENSES RIGHT NOW
[Sammy] I've got Joey luck today, it's weird!?! [Jack] It's to protect Jack! [Jack] The shepherd must protect the sheep!!!
[Sammy] Yeah, let's git, let's skeedaddle, let's just run, [Jack] Channel our inner Wally Franks, [Sammy] and get outta here!!
[GM] Henry does have at least one person try to trade drinks and get some of the jug he's carrying. [Joey] *sulky* No!! Our special juice!
[Sammy] Joey and Lurker are the two children who should not sit next to each other, because they are a bad influence on each other
[Sammy] (Oh, P.S., Jack can talk now!) [GM] Oh, you're better! [Sammy] Sammy's feeling better too, but that might just be adrenaline.
[Joey] As long as the show isn't Alice In Wonderland or The King In Yellow! [GM] Do you say that? [Joey] [Sammy] NO [Sammy] That's out of character, I think, [Joey] UMMMM, [Sammy] Is, is it-- jOEY DREW, [Joey] ...........it is out of character.
[Joey] We're down here due to something to do with that symbol coming to bother us at the Studio! [GM] She wants to know if that's why your eyes are weird. [Joey] [Joey] Yes.

Oooh I'm curious to hear your take on Takuto and Azathoth for the relationship ask game ^^
KLDSGBSJLDGfhdjsfdbg (that's the sound of Azathoth doing something with his tentacles to wiggle my brain)
describe their canon relationship/dynamic
The best way I'd describe it tbh is similar to Kandori and Nyarlathotep from the earlier Persona games where the Persona has a slight personality independent of the Persona user but is still aligned with their goals. Azathoth feeds into Maruki's worst parts and gives him a euphoric bliss that makes him lose sight of his kind of tenuous ethics and what exactly he was trying to accomplish with his research to begin with.
your ideal/headcanon version of it? how does it differ from how it is in canon & why is this your favorite version? any other alternate versions of it you enjoy?
Admittedly their relationship fucking terrifies me so my brain copes by imagining really dumb shit with them that's akin to a (sometimes dark comedy) sitcom. Things that I will explain below.
what do you like about their relationship, why is it interesting or enjoyable to you?
Despite being scared shitless I actually like the horror of not knowing where their individual thoughts end and begin.
...come to think of it, it reminds me of a more benelovent version of The Hiss from Control but instead of The Hiss mindlessly propagating itself and people lose themselves from being assimilated into a hive mind collective, they both want to spread happiness with the very likely unintended side effect of being utilitarian about it. The fact that it has happiness and benevolence in mind is what adds to the horror of it.
what about the individual characters involved? what does this relationship mean to them, what makes it unique among their relationships?
I think Azathoth is still trying to save Maruki in their own way, it's just they're an eldritch entity that doesn't fully understand humanity and has powers that can only really result in bad things happening. Which is parallel to Maruki's forays into cognitive psience but he still has his humanity and the conscience - no matter how deep down it's buried - to realise what he's doing is wrong.
Honestly I have no clue what's going on in Maruki's head because, again, kind of hard to tell where their thoughts begin and end. I think he is aware to some capacity (especially after getting punched in the face and willingly letting himself fall to his doom) that this is an extremely toxic relationship, but he's addicted to the happiness Azathoth can bring and can't resist (also hence the whole "stop resisting" stuff he eventually starts spouting). Even before he put his ideal reality into action, he saw Azathoth as an extension of himself as a normal Persona user would, but until he lost it he wasn't aware that Azathoth was a part of the process of his powers.
Also on a side note: Does that mean that he used his powers on Joker to boost the effects of the benefits we get from his confidant? Answers on a postcard please.
favorite interaction they have in canon
The flashback scene where Mementos fuses with reality and Azathoth appears in that random guy's office, pushing Maruki far past his limits after everything that's happened to him. I would probably just accept the madness too if that happened to me tbh.
favorite interaction they have in your head/a situation you want to put them in
Ok sitcom time! I just like the idea that in front of the Phantom Thieves, Maruki acts like he has his shit together but when no one's looking he is still clumsy as heck and Azathoth is either an extra set of limbs, helping him hide or just picking him up off the floor at any given moment.
One of these days I want to draw Azzy lending a tentacle to hook Maruki up by the collar of his coat like a mother cat lifting a kitten off the ground after he's tripped over. (Though if anyone wants to draw it themselves please feel free to)

HECK YEAH DUDE LET'S SEE THE BOYS GO HAM @korissideblog
~
You'll Never Take Me Alive
Characters: Hiroharu Aki, Aito Takao
Word Count: 2.5k
TWs: mind control, physical and verbal fighting, slight blood mention, some strong language
Summary: Despite his best efforts, Pro Hero COMPOUND is hit by a villain's Quirk, causing him to perceive his teammate as an enemy in disguise.
~
This was supposed to have been a normal patrol night, but then again, all villain attacks happened on normal patrol nights.
Haru and Aito had been paired up to attend the fundraising party of some wealthy businessman or another, and the evening had been going swimmingly up until that point. It wasn’t a massive party, and the businessman wasn’t really as influential as he’d like to imagine, so the only thing the pair of heroes really had to look out for was guests who had had a bit too much to drink. Haru was as civil as always, and Aito had mastered the art of pretending to be interested in rich people’s affairs while secretly pining over the cheese boards.
(Not to mention they were both in suits, and they both looked damn good in suits.)
Anyway, it was pleasant. Halfway through the night Aito had finally managed to escape yet another boring conversation and make her way to the refreshments table, and promptly began gathering canapés. Haru had gone off somewhere, probably to double-check the doors or something; honestly, the best part about working with that man was that he liked to take care of things, which meant Aito had all the time in the world to eat snacks and focus on trying not to steal people’s wallets.
Now this, he thought smugly, is living the high life.
Of course, that exact moment was when the front doors were thrown open without warning.
Aito jumped and turned toward the noise, an action mimicked by most of the surprised crowd. From where she was at the back, it was impossible to see what had caused it, but she’d been on enough missions by now to know what usually caused doors to be thrown open without warning. Villains always got predictable after a while.
The grandiose, overconfident cackle that followed shortly afterwards confirmed it. As guests began to panic and flee, Aito (mournfully) discarded his canapés and started elbowing his way towards the front, keeping a sharp eye out for Haru as she went. Hell- where had he gone?
From somewhere off to her left somebody shouted his hero name, and COMPOUND forced his way through a trio of attendees, glancing around with eyes wide. His gaze initially flicked right past her, but a wave of her arms and a shout caught his attention again, and there was one single bright radiant second where his eyes softened with relief and his lips parted as if to speak before he was grabbed from behind.
Only a great many years of hero training stopped Aito from screaming his name. Standing directly behind the Fusion Hero was a man in a clean-cut white silk suit and top hat, one large clawed hand clenched tightly around his shoulder, the other fastened around his neck. His eyes were concealed by a domino mask, but his mouth was in plain sight, and his mouth was grinning like the whole world was his oyster.
“Whoops,” he said softly.
Haru thrashed, his own hand reflexively shooting up to grab and fuse with his captor- but in the moments before Aito had the time to leap forward and help, he saw Haru do something that he had never, in the decade or longer they’d been working together, once done.
He faltered.
The villain released him and took one, two quick steps backward before Aito lunged and rammed her staff, hard, into his sternum. She spun the weapon and hit him again, this time across the head, with an ease born of years of practice; there was a nasty crack and he went down, a problem to be dealt with later. Remarkably easy, for somebody who had just made Haru hesitate in doing what needed to be done. Maybe she was just better than him.
The room was entirely empty at this point, and Aito let out a terse breath. Evidently, the villain hadn’t brought backup, and the guests would have filtered out through fire escapes to return to their own homes. It was a procedure Aito had watched time and time again; apparently, there was just something about shiny parties that attracted flamboyant villains like a moth to a flame. Or… flies to moldy banana bread, or something. Considering the current state of the economy and the reasoning behind capitalism as a whole, the latter was probably more accurate.
With half a mind to tell Haru about his philosophical revelation, Aito turned back around.
And promptly caught a forceful left hook right across the jaw.
Aito screeched and lunged backwards out of reach of another attack just barely in time as Haru swung again. “Whuh- Haru, what the hell are you trying to pull!?”
Haru didn’t say a word, just jumped a table and kept coming with both fists clenched. It was Aito’s turn to falter—this was weird, this was the least Haru-ish he’d ever seen him—but Aito took pride in placing himself above everyone else, and in this case that manifested as striking out at him with her staff to keep distance between them.
In the same moment, Haru whipped one of his capture weapons around the end of the pole and pulled, hard, and the pole was yanked dramatically from her grasp.
It clattered on the other side of the room. The chain was retracted.
The two of them slowly circled each other in the center of the hall, brought to a temporary standstill. With one hand pressed to the rapidly forming bruise on his jaw, Aito looked Haru over. The other hero’s breathing was harsh and uneven in the way it usually only got when he was severely injured, even though there wasn’t a single sign of damage on him; however, it was far from the most alarming thing about him. Haru looked mad.
If there was one thing that Pro Hero COMPOUND was known for, it was managing his emotions. Aito had been an absolute little s--t in UA, and they both knew it—and despite it, Haru had never lost that careful control, had never even spoken above a calm reprimand. But now… now there was a fury blazing behind a pair of ordinarily calm brown eyes, and it changed his entire demeanor. Haru wasn’t scary, but…
“What are you doing!?” He had meant it to be a forceful question, but Haru lunged right on the last syllable and it turned into a squeak as she ducked another punch. F--k it—Haru or not, Aito wasn’t going to let himself get punched again. She realitated with a blow aimed at his solar plexus, swiftly blocked by his other arm. “It’s me, hello!?”
“DON’T,” Haru snarled, going for the head. Aito ducked and Haru’s other fist came up from where he’d blocked before, aimed at her face. She leaped out of reach to kick at his wrist—Haru grabbed at her ankle—Aito took the time while he was distracted to plant a hand on his face and push away. Both of them reeled backwards, thrown off-balance.
The whole thing had taken less than three seconds, but it left them winded. Haru had the advantage in size and strength, but Aito prided himself on being a slippery little bastard, and made good use of it.
“Don’t,” Haru repeated through gritted teeth as they returned to circling. “Don’t imitate her.”
That’s… a weird thing to say.
Aito made several connections very quickly in the split second before Haru swung again, and made several more while vaulting to the side and jumping over a sweeping kick aimed at the knees. Barely a minute ago, the villain had grabbed Haru, but didn’t put any effort into fighting for himself afterwards. The room was empty aside from the two of them—Haru had no reason to stay and fight, and even stranger, he wasn’t attempting to fuse or use his capture weapons. He was just… attacking. Out of anger.
'Don't imitate her.'
Her eyes widened as the realization hit her plain in the face. Oh, of course.
“It’s me, Haru!” Aito shouted at him, feinting left and striking right, but Haru sidestepped the blow to exchange it for one of his own. “You’re under that guy’s Quirk’s influence, come on, snap out of it!”
“Don’t lie to me!” Haru snapped back between thrown punches. “What, do you think this is funny? Mocking him?”
Aito kindly resisted the urge to smack him upside the head for that one, partly because Haru wasn’t in his right mind, and partly because the volley of attacks they were trading made it kind of hard to do anyway. “I’m not mocki- Jesus, Haru, it’s the real me!”
Haru’s glare only narrowed further and he swung a hard uppercut that Aito barely dodged. Holy crap—you didn’t really notice how fast he was at fighting until you were on the receiving end of it, huh. Worst of all, he kept avoiding her Quirk; he was resolutely avoiding his gaze and focusing solely on dealing as much damage as humanly possible. One of the only things keeping Aito from getting pummeled was the fact that they’d been training together for years, and although Haru was good, Haru was also thoroughly predictable.
So be it, Aito thought grimly.
“Listen,” he called, ducking another blow and exchanging one of his own. Haru blocked it with his other forearm, but Aito latched on and yanked it down, averting another hit by forcefully headbutting the hand as it approached. “Haruaru, you got hit by that guy’s Quirk. Think about it—when could I have had the chance to get replaced?”
“I don’t know!” Haru spat, wrenching his trapped arm out of Aito’s grip and going for a kick in the stomach. “There were a million chances, I just didn’t see them. What are you trying to achieve!?”
“Just focus for a minute, you-!” The temptation to call Haru a few choice words belittling his intelligence was strong, but the desire not to get punched in the face any more was stronger. “Come on, be logical! Use that bigass brain! What’s all your training even for!?”
Haru was breathing hard from the exertion now, and although he was still swinging punches with a ferocity rarely rivaled, his eyes were darting, gears turning.
“How can I trust you?” he settled on saying through gritted teeth, fists poised to attack again, but not actively trying to beat her into the ground, which was a step in the right direction.
Haru worked on logic. He worked on rules. As much as Aito hated it, he had to use that to her advantage. “I didn’t have a single chance to leave your eyesight since that villain attacked, right? I was by the snack table the whole time, ask anybody. Not to mention I was the worst target in the room at the time, I’m trained and sh-t, nobody else besides you was, so going for me was the worst possible idea, right? And—if I weren’t me, how would I know Jiji’s favourite snack food is tuna crackers, and that you keep complaining I shouldn’t feed them to him because they’re bad for cats but he likes them so much I can’t not let him have any?”
The other hero was silent. There was a trickle of blood sliding slowly down the side of his neck, staining the shoulder of his shirt. How had it gotten there?
“Come on,” she whispered, “think.”
Haru was looking him in the eyes now, searching for some fragment of truth, some hidden honesty that would never exist in the eyes of an imposter. He was struggling desperately, fiercely, to feel out if there was a foreign force in his brain, to detect and force it out, and for some reason looking straight at Aito was where he intended to find it. Aito, for once, didn’t use her Quirk—no telling how that would turn out while Haru was still like this, wouldn’t want to spook him out of it-
-and it proved to be the right thing to do, as moments later Haru’s knees buckled, and his whole body sagged forwards onto him.
Aito stumbled under the unexpected weight, doing his best to carefully lower him the rest of the way to the floor, as in the distance the two of them heard the sirens approaching at long last. Haru was shaking, concentrating single-mindedly as he was on holding off the villain’s Quirk effects.
“I’m sorry,” he was gasping, very quietly. “I’m sorry.”
For once, Aito resisted the urge to make a joke.
“It’s okay,” he muttered back. “We’ll get you out of here.”
The report came in a couple of days later, and a bandaged Haru dropped by Aito’s apartment to give him the rundown. The two of them settled in her living room with tea and crackers and strawberry Pocky, the latter mostly for Aito, who pulled half the sticks from the package and stuck them in his mouth in one go.
Haru looked miserable. Not physically—Haru never had a hair out of place—but his usual resting-bitch-face seemed… heavier, somehow, although he didn’t remark on it. He just took the file from his bag and put it on the coffee table.
“He’s known to the public as Capgras; his Quirk, Delusion,” he explained. “By opening wounds on his opponents, he can cause them to mistake their allies as enemies pretending to be friends—the effects typically last until the wounds heal.”
“Not surprised you managed to snap out of it sooner, though,” Aito told him, somewhat smugly on his behalf. Haru wasn’t going to brag about it, so she might as well do it for him. The other hero, however, just shrugged a shoulder.
Aito pursed his lips. Haru had been out of it ever since the mess that had been that event—probably angry at himself for having attacked her, even if it couldn’t have been his fault. Time to change tactics.
“It was noble of you,” she remarked idly.
Haru glanced up at him in surprise. “What do you mean?”
“You aren’t subtle, Haruaru.” Aito kicked his legs up onto the sofa, draping them over those of the other hero’s and effectively taking up the whole space. Her tone was light, but kept half an eye on Haru just to see his reaction. “You could’ve fused, or used your capture weapon, or something, but you didn’t. You weren’t fighting to bring down a villain, you were fighting because seeing somebody imitate me—mock me, to use your words—made you mad. You wanted to avenge me. Right?”
Out of the corner of his eye, Aito watched Haru’s face go from surprise to worry to terse acceptance. Score.
“You’re right,” he admitted, sheepish. “I- I want to say it was just the Quirk, but Quirk or not, it was a moment of weakness on my part. I was scared for you, and… making whichever villain who had been bold enough to mimic you, suffer… felt like the right thing to do in the heat of the moment. I shouldn’t have let myself be carried away for this exact reason.”
Aito watched him, the slightest of smiles quirking one corner of his lip. There was a lot to unpack there—she’d have to think about it later. Maybe make a video on her thoughts, or something. He hadn’t made a video in a couple of days.
For now, he threw a Pocky at him.
“Hey!” Haru protested, although it was lighthearted. “What did I do to deserve that?”
“Oh, nothing,” Aito said cheerfully, and meant it.

So a special darling wanted me to share their AU idea and here it is! It’s very long!
But basically, the idea is Steven universe gems/Your boyfriend fusion au.And basically it goes like this.
Y/N Is a gem, which gets stranded on an earth very much like the YB universe.
Haven't decided what kind of gem specifically. But they have a dark grey heart shaped gem, with a white horizontal stripe across the middle.
So probably a low ranking member of white diamonds court, maybe working some kind of a data entry job or the like.
Basically they're kinda short. They're not a fighter, and not a mechanic like peridot.
So they get stranded on earth after an accident, which left them without enough materials in the wreckage to build a distress beacon. So after a series of amusing events, Y/N comes to this conclusion.In order to get the materials they need, they need money. n order to get money, they need to pose as a human and get a human job. In order to not be fired from their human job, they need to maintain a certain set of human qualifications, such as a mailing address and uniform.In order to reach those qualifications, they need human assistance.And thus, they end up moving in with a roommate, and find themselves in a position very similar to the beginning of the Your Boyfriend game. Having done a good job thinking on their feet and rolling with the punches for a gem. In fact doing a much better job of blending in than most other gems would in their position.Except for almost the whole time…. Peter has been watching them. Peter is a human.So at first his interest is piqued when he's able to clock Y/N as a non-human when they first appeared in town, stumbling around in a strange space-suit looking outfit asking strange questions.
At first he starts following them in a very "Holy shit that's a freaking alien!!! What are they doing here???" Kind of conspiracy theorist hunting Bigfoot Dib from invader zim way. Trying to gather as much data as he can about what they are and what they might be capable of. And possibly, who they should tell about this because who knows if they're dangerous or not.But that quickly transitions to obsessively stalking a crush as he falls in love. Watching with adoration at all the cute and silly events that happen as Y/N adapts to human culture.And after a few months of this, he makes his move to try and worm his way into their life. Taking advantage of their lack of context for human relationships and Y/N's willingness to adapt to "human customs" if it gets them closer to their goals.Actually coming to enjoy their time with Peter a fair bit. Going on dates and such and actually taking some time to enjoy earth rather than just fruitlessly grinding for money to buy equipment in the hopes of rescue.But all the red flags that had been piling up hit a breaking point when they accidentally fuse for the first time.Because from that point on, Peter's goals shift from
"Trying to convince Y/N to stay on earth with him by showing how happy they could be together"
to
"Single mindedly trying to do everything possible to get them to fuse again."
Including kidnapping, manipulation, and poofing them multiple times when they try to escape.Culminating in a really dark scene, where after having poofed them during an escape attempt.
Peter, having timed how long it takes for Y/N to reform after being poofed, cuts open a wound in the middle of his chest, and sockets Y/N's heart-shaped gem into himself.
Binds it there with a bandage. And lays in bed panting and love-struck and covered in blood as Y/N tries and fails to reform a few times.
Peter enjoying the "feeling of having them twist inside him" or something.
Until they take their fusion form, which has four arms, the top set Peter's, and bottom set Y/N, with Y/N's hands scrabbling in terror trying to pull the gem from out of Peter's chest, which is kind of futile in their fusion form.
though nonetheless, Peter's hands just catch them in his own, bigger hands.
intertwine their fingers, and bring them up to plant kisses along smaller hands wrists. The hearts in the more Peter-like eyes overpowering the more Y/N like features as its clear Peter and his overwhelming emotions are the more dominant one in this fusion.
While in the internal mind-scape of their fusion, it's clear their minds are still very much separate in a somewhat lapis and jasper kind of situation.
Though Peter is trying to change that, wanting to mix minds as much as bodies and truly become a single entity as Y/N resists his lust-fuled attempts to consume them.
But yeah, I could see Peter being so horny for something like fusion, and it being such a toxic relationship dynamic regardless of what variant that someone's goes with. Like if Peter was a gem, or were doing some non-steven u variation of the fusion concept.
Honestly I might have to try drawing a Peter/Y/N fusion. I expect it would be unsettling as heck.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WROTE!!! It belongs to someone else who just wanted me to share their AU idea! It belongs to @min-haven-pokemon-sanctuary !

A ‘crossover’ concept
Let’s imagine an AU where Cybertronians are capable of Steven-Universe-style fusion. It essentially replaces ‘gestalt/combiner’ technology, which in this AU Cybertronians do not have - all the combiner teams are fusions, not gestalts. In this AU ‘verse, the Steven Universe cartoon itself is a project secretly funded by Cybertron’s planetary PR/diplomacy/secret-shenanigans department...
One of the goals of the project was specifically to introduce the concept of fusion (an ability unique to Cybertronians) to Cybertron’s organic allies, in a context that they could understand and accept. The Gems are a stand-in for Cybertronians: inorganic beings with a wide range of different sizes and abilities, who happen to superficially resemble organics to endear themselves to the cartoon’s intended organic audience.
(And because I’m in a phase where my brain tries to cram MegOP and peaceful-Cybertron into absolutely everything - naturally, The War never happened here, because before it got going properly Megatron and Optimus (or Megatronus and Orion Pax, or some permutation of those iconic two) fused to form an epic and unprecedentedly-stable fusion. Optitron proceeded to lead a popular revolution, doing away with Functionalist slag like reserving fusion for military purposes only.)
Any Cybertronian who watches the Steven Universe cartoon in this ‘verse would probably recognize that Ruby and Sapphire were partly inspired by the great revolutionaries Lord High Protector Megatron and Optimus Prime respectively. (Square-y/red/angry/fiery soldier, “intended” to be just another grunt in a sea of grunts, and her wise, cooler-headed blue partner, “intended” to be of a somewhat higher rank but nonetheless ultimately “meant” to be just another cog in the machine; and together they looked at the world as it was and refused to accept that that was the way things are meant to be.) Same goes for Yellow Diamond and Blue Diamond, a little bit, honestly: take a good hard look at the design of Yellow Diamond’s helm? And “We all must make sacrifices, for the sake of our perfect empire!”, also. Heck, why not say this AU’s Megatron has the fire & lightning powers as outlier abilities, and Optimus has the future vision & emotional/empathetic powers as Prime-ly abilities.
#transformers#steven universe#maccadam#megop#megaop#megatron#optimus#optimus prime#welcome to the AU that is temporarily living in my brain rent-free#also shoutout to the fic A Simple Two-Step [Cygate] by Squidlicious on AO3#and just in case the embarrassing level of effort my brain put into this AU wasn't already clear#in my head this AU experiences Inter-Universe shenanigans that send some Cybertronians to a more canon-adjacent universe#the canon-adjacent universe has definitely never heard of anything like fusion having only the usual gestalt/combiner tech#after fighting in The War for millions of years the Autobots and Decepticons have just entered a wary grudging truce#to deal with a greater Quintesson threat#and some Cybertronians from the SU AU 'verse get dumped into this mess#and proceed to inadvertently but blatantly rub it in the canon-adjacent Cybertronian's faces how much better their own universe is#hey look how much history would've improved#if Optimus and Megatron had the option of resolving their different viewpoints#by literally spending some time being the same person#at first the folks in the canon-adjacent universe see and meet Optitron and think he's Optimus and Megatron's sparkling#which is already an amazing/horrifying/hilarious and processor-breaking revelation to them#and then Optitron does the thing where they unfuse and Optimus & Megatron are standing there holding hands together#and the processor-breaking intensifies#and of course eventually canon-adjacent Megatron and Optimus give in and get together and True Peace Happens there too#the tags are as long as the main post it is Officially time to Stop Embarrassing Myself now#like I do actually have details in my head for what Optitron looks like and everything#fuck it all

Chapter 159th to the end
Hmm ‘got much more mixed feelings about the end
I wonder if the mangaka is a huge gamer because the characters tend to always compare the situation with video games. I honestly find it a bit annoying - like, I don’t mind the gamer character to think like that, but almost everyone have a thought like this at one point. 
I have the feeling the whole Rika’s brainwashing was forced. Of course I wanted the two brothers to fight (Cain/Abel drama + Yuri setting as Seth yumyum) but it would had been better if Rika was the big villain the whole time/was really corrupted by Aikawa’s ideology.
That being said, I appreciated a little more Rika in the last half. I admit, he manages to do cool tricks.
Lowkey ship Sniper/White Feather for drama reason
Kuon’s death made me tear a bit - it was really heartbreaking </3
Too bad she doesn’t stay dead tho. It minimized the whole intensity of that scene and it feels too easy for the party afterward. Paradoxically, I liked the interactions she had with Yuri and Yuka.
Knowing there is a sequel, will they try to created a new body for her? Could be interesting. But I heard it was with new characters, so I don’t think I’ll read it. I was already reading it only mostly for Sniper Mask, so if I can’t get a shot of his riffle’s cannon, I’m not interested anymore.
I was honestly a bit nervous at the idea Kuon stayed in the head of Yuka - Ordinary quickly questioned this and pointed out very well my thoughts. It seems she doesn’t have to stay in his head and somehow body surfed with other God Candidates, but it still upset me for them all.
I thought Kuon was baby. She is. But she isn’t. Yet she is. However she isn’t. Actually- 
(She is definitely less innocent she appears to be, as I expected, but much darker than I visualized it)
Disappointed Aikawa was just sitting there while Yuka and Rika fight. Like, I was excepting he asked Volleyball Mask to bring him some popcorns at one point.
I really need someone to make an animatic of the brothers fight with “the plagues” from The Prince of Egypt. It matchs it so well 😔
Oh look, Yukio becomes super strong! Is he a Closer to God now? Oh no wait, it’s a literal deus ex-machina!
If High Rise Invasion gets a second season, it means we will be able to admire the divine butt of Yuka at the very least twice.
The codes were interesting on paper, but I wished they foreshadowed it sooner. Making Kuon said “oh yeah, I just remember it now” every times is a bit cheap.
Makoto brothers really shined in this part. It was really refreshing to see them working together.
Does anyone have an idea of what Tenma means? I couldn’t found anything about this...
I don’t think it was a good idea to introduced Juo for the last arc. He was out of place. Aikawa was to the point to succeeded to become a god, was much more threatening and it was less thrilling to follow Rika&co fighting him. If the whole scenario happened before, it would have been more smooth in my opinion.
Tbh, I didn’t even get why Yuri wanted to save Juo at the end...  
Administrator was f*cked up, but I couldn’t bring myself to hate him. His fate is just too awful and I understand he became so mad and drunk of power.
Praise Yuka for speaking the truth to the Supervisor. Wish he go further, calling him out that they succeeded thanks to their teamwork and not because they act in a "man is a wolf to man” way. Please, even bacterias understand the concept of helping the less strong to survive.
I need to pin up in my bedroom the page where Yuka said “you’re amazing” as a motivation quote.
Broke: Yuka is daddy. Woke: Yuka is a dad. Heck, he even lampshades it himself.
Did Prophet die?? He wasn’t show to be dead but he isn’t in the epilogue either...
My boy Yoshida didn’t deserved to die, especially not this way. That was dirty.
The whole betrayal of the dad is never addressed??? Where is the drama??? And the reunion of the Kusakabe didn’t move me at all. Do I am really suppose to care for a woman who tortured people with an obvious pleasure and turned my man Yuka and other countless people into puppets? Sorry but no.
Saito never becomes strong, halas. I’m not even sure if she showed up in the epilogue. It seems the author didn’t know what to do with her. She isn’t the only one in that case...
I understand why people complained the ending to be rushed. While it’s good to see Yuri alive, the whole family complete and angels stopping killing people, no god has been created (since somehow Yuri isn’t a complete god for now?), dimensions will maybe fused and insured chaos... yet the last thing the protagonist is seen doing is going to eat with her girlfriend. For a survival game genre, it’s hard to swallow — pun no intended. It’s way too cheesy after all the horrors they lived AND the threats incoming.
CONCLUSION
Yuka is definitely the best. What a husbando material.
Concept is very interesting but messy in execution at the end
Rarely boring, gorgeous art
Wished Yuka/Yuri/Rika worked more together and tried to bond as a family. It’s one of the most prominent theme of the manga, it’s too bad it mostly works as Yuri > Rika < Yuka and not all the three. (I don’t count when Yuka worked as Sniper Mask under Yuri since they didn’t know they were related.)
WISHED YURI/MAYUKO TO BE MORE OFFICIAL ARGHHHHH
Aikawa was a good villain, so was the administrator. Too bad they died so quickly. Juo could have been interesting too if he didn’t showed this late.
Wasted opportunity with Yayoi, she could have been an amazing villain.
It’s really too bad Yoshida didn’t manage to “really” meet one of the Makoto. I really think they could have influenced him positively. 
...Maybe too many characters...? It’s hard to judge since there is a need to have so much (otherwise nothing would happen) but it’s difficult to find them all flesh out. And if the reader don’t care, the whole drama and horror are much less impactful. 
I’m not sure how I feel towards Kuon now. I still like her, but I need to zoom off to understand better her character.
I’ll say it again: Yoshida didn’t deserved this fate :c
Ending rushed up, probably to prepare for the sequel but it’s still very brutal and cheesy, leaving a bitter taste as a farewell.

Chapter 13 - “What’s ‘Corgi Quest’?”
With Cooking Cat to help him to stay stable in the hallway, going back to the spaceship hub was easier. Snatcher didn’t like being reminded of how weak he looked at the moment, but he had managed to push his pride aside, if only for a brief moment. The cat was nice and considerate enough to make no comments about it, which was more than welcome for the former spirit.
It didn’t take them long to leave the first hallway and to cross the machine room. When they reached the second and last hallway before reaching the hub, voices could be heard from the other side of the door, informing them that the little girls were there. Suddenly, Snatcher felt his heart sunk in his chest. God, why was he reacting this way! There was literally nothing to be afraid of! It wasn’t the first time he had angered the brats and it certainly wouldn’t be the la-
Wait. Why was he even worried about that anyway? He was the powerful ghost of Subcon Forest! He had killed so many people and now he was worried about little children being mad at him? Oh please, what a joke. He rolled his eyes at himself, Gods, he was so stupid.
A little pat on his hand cut his thoughts short, catching his attention. Just like before, Cooking Cat was patting him, trying to reassure him, to comfort him. Ugh.
-“It’ll be okay,” she assured with a smile: “I’m sure they forgave you already.”
The former spirit glanced away, both irritated and embarrassed, because heck, he hated being this easy to read. How was she even able to do that? Well, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that it was annoying and that it made Snatcher think about things he’d rather ignore. He let out a long and exhausted sigh, turning to the cat with a scowl on his face:
-“Oh please, I don’t care what they think. They might as well be sulking, it changes absolutely nothing for me,” he groaned, more than exasperated: “All I care about is to be dead again. That’s all.”
The other only nodded her head as an answer. She probably knew it was best not to argue with him on that topic, considering how sensitive it was for the moment. Whatever wanted to say at his words, she kept it for herself, staying silent and motionless instead. She was waiting for him to approach the door for it to open, not rushing him.
Gods. He was so ridiculous.
The former ghost took a deep breath and, ignoring how much his legs felt like cotton, took a few steps towards the door. As soon as it opened, the mechanical sound echoing all around, it was like a weight settled on his stomach, twisting his guts as soon as his eyes spotted the two little girls. They had changed and were now wearing coloured pyjamas, still wearing their signature headgear, weirdly enough. They were sitting in front of the television, watching, no, doing something with it? He wasn’t sure what, he was not very informed regarding new technologies, considering he lived in the same forest for centuries. They were holding weird things in their hands, black devices with coloured buttons on it. Whatever they were doing, they were also bumping each other with their shoulders, loud high-pitched giggles resonating in the room. However, when they heard the door, they both turned around in his direction.
-“Oh, you’re back,” started the hatted brat, her voice almost passive aggressive. Yep, she was mad, just like he had thought. She seemed to make an effort as her younger friend “discretly” nudged her in the back, instructing her to be nice: “You feeling better?” she asked with a more neutral tone.
Did he feel better? He supposed he did, though it was hard to say. His mind was like a cacophony of thoughts, all very, very different from one another. Some part of him did feel better, it was true, while his pride was screaming at how sappy and mushy the whole situation was. It was most likely this part of himself that snapped earlier, or had at least contributed to his meltdown. It really was strange and uncomfortable to say the least.
-“Yeah,” he replied, still with a grumpy expression on his face: “guess so.”
He had been tempted to go with his usual approach, putting a show with the loud persona he had fabricated through the centuries. After all, it had almost completely fused with his, well, original personality, having been kept in a cold cellar for days changing him greatly, just like the after-life did. He was not the nice and compassionate Prince anymore. He was The Snatcher, a powerful soul-stealing ghost that had no remorse over killing people for his own survival and, by now, even for fun. And yet… And yet, sometimes, putting on the mask that had become such a second nature to him became… Difficult. Unnatural.
Right now was one of those times.
For a brief instant, he thought he saw a remorseful look on the hat-wearing child’s expression, though it quickly died down as he glanced away. She looked like she wanted to forgive him, but it was a bit too early for her to completely do so. At least, that’s what Snatcher thought it meant, it wasn’t like he was some kind of social behaviour specialist. If anything, law was his forte, but this? He was just guessing at this point.
His thoughts were cut short as the bow-wearing kid joined the conversation, lifting a plate of grilled cheese sandwich that had been on the ground until now. She was smiling at him, yet it was easy to see she was somewhat trying to hide her unease behind a warm expression:
-“We saved some for you,” she informed him with a gentle voice before cringing a bit as she glanced down at the food: “… Well, it’s cold now, but we can always reheat it later when you want!”
Snatcher frowned, feeling something akin to guilt rise in his chest. It felt wrong, so, so wrong, and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He normally didn’t care about being the bad guy, about being unfair or mean, or, well, murderous. Yet, there was something in this very specific situation that gave him an awful feeling of shame, one he really wished he could ignore.
What was happening to him?
-“Yeah, fine,” he simply replied, embarrassment unfortunately clearly audible in his voice as he walked closer, not comfortable enough to say the magic word just yet. It just got stuck in his throat. Thankfully, the kids didn’t mention it. Just as he was about to ask what they were doing with the television and what they were holding in their hands, Cooking Cat’s voiced echoed just behind them:
-“Well,” she started, straightening her chef’s hat with her usual smile: “it’s getting late, I think it’s time for me to go home. I had a lot of fun today, thank you for inviting me!” she said to the kids before turning to him: “I hope you’ll teach me how to tell scary stories soon! But, on a more serious note, I really hope your wish to be a ghost again will come true. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to experience being alive after so much time as a spirit.”
Snatcher glanced away:
-“It’s… Not so great, yeah,” he confirmed with a frown.
Her smile disappeared for a bit, quickly replaced by a serious and compassionate expression:
-“Don’t push yourself too hard,” she advised with a caring tone: “Do what you can and if that doesn’t work out, it’s okay. You’ve been human for a day or two, barely, and I can only guess how much it is to take in. Try being nicer to yourself, it’s fine to fail sometimes.”
The former ghost scoffed at how corny this all was. Oh sure, what a great idea to rest and relax while his crazy ex could wreck havoc in his forest, freezing everything and everyone again! Of course, he’d have the right to, since he could “be nicer to himself” and that it was “fine to fail sometimes”! And if he came back to see the whole forest being covered in ice again, well, “whoopsie daisy!”, right?!
What a joke.
Cooking Cat could obviously tell that Snatcher wasn’t taking her words well, but knew better than to insist. She looked away, a bit embarrassed, though she tried to smile again. She turned to the children, who had watched the scene, silently:
-“Can you teleport me down there?” she gestured to the floor, or what was under it. The planet.
-“Yeah, of course,” replied the hatted girl, moving to the control panel, before waving at her: “See you soon, Cookie!”
The younger kid soon imitated her:
-“See you, take care!”
The cat looked happier from the kids’ kind words and waved back at them. Her eyes then glanced to the former spirit, smiling back at him:
-“Goodbye, Snatcher. I hope I’ll see you soon as well, in your true form this time,”
Snatcher only nodded in response, feeling all the stares being fixed on him once more. He liked attention, sure… But not like this. This one was oppressive, stressful and… In this meat sack of a body, he didn’t feel completely safe. However, Cooking Cat seemed satisfied with his answer, and nodded to the hat-wearing little girl, telling her she was ready for teleportation. Honestly, the man couldn’t help but be impressed at her calm face: his own experience through scientific teleportation was… Not a good one. He had always been fine teleporting magically, but this? This could be labelled as a vomit-inducing machine and he wouldn’t even be surprised.
The cat disappeared in a blink, a blue light quickly engulfing her for a second before it was gone, leaving no trace from her, as if she had never come onto the ship.
Silence fell in the room as the trio was left alone once more. The atmosphere was tense, almost palpable, no one knowing what to say after everything that had happened in only one single day. After all, it was a lot, it made sense that tensions started to appear after a while. Well, perhaps they mostly appeared because of him, but it didn’t matter.
Eventually, after a while, the bow-wearing kid gestured to the television with an awkward smile:
-“Wanna keep on playing Corgi Quest?” she offered, winking at the hatted brat, once more very “discreetly”. But it seemed to work as the other sighed yet shrugged nonetheless, visibly exhausted from the events of the day:
-“Yeah, fine, sounds good to me.”
Snatcher watched them walk to the television and sit on the nearby coloured pillows. Confusion was plastered on his face as he wondered what they could be talking about. ‘Corgi Quest’? What was that? Was it what they were doing before he and Cooking Cat entered the room? Was this a “TV thing” he wasn’t aware about? That could very well be the case, seeing as he only knew what a television was from what he learnt with his ex-contractors.
So, not a lot, considering they didn’t live long enough to explain what it was in further details. Not like he had thought he would need it someday, though…
-“What’s ‘Corgi Quest’?” he questioned, voicing his confusion, glancing at the kids then the television repeatedly, trying to understand.
-“Our favourite video game,” answered the hatted child, picking up one of the device from earlier -what was it?-, pushing some of the buttons and… Controlling what was happening on the screen? What? His brow furrowed even more: how did that work?
-“It sounds pretty simple, but Corgi Quest actually has a deep storyline!” added the younger child, her eyes full of stars: “It’s also very cute, and there’s even a multiplayer mode! Much better than in the last game, Corgi Quest 6. Oh yeah, we’re playing the 7th one, but you don’t need to have played the oth-”
-“Woah, woah, kiddo, stop,” interrupted Snatcher by lifting his hands in the air, already feeling a headache coming up just from hearing about all this stuff he couldn’t understand. What were they even talking about? He took a deep breath and pinched his nose, stopping soon afterwards. Wait, he never did that before, was it because he had a nose now?
Tumblr media
-“First, I don’t care about all of that,” he established, though it was a lie: he was curious, at least on the way this was working: “Second, what the heck is a video game?”
This was a simple question, really, one he thought was basic and pretty common… And yet, as soon as the words left his mouth, the two children gasped as if he had insulted their parents in the worst possible ways. Wait, did he ever do that? He didn’t remember. Still, they were staring at him with wide eyes, clearly not believing a single word he had just said. Was it that obvious? If it was, why didn’t he hear about that from his victi- oh wait, right, he usually killed them before they got the chance to talk. Not that he wanted to, life outside of his forest didn’t interest him usually. And it wasn’t like talking with his “brain-dead servants” were entertaining, hearing them scream in pain was though.
His thoughts were cut short as the little girls exclaimed at the same time:
-“You don’t know what a video game is?!”
Snatcher shook his head, warier and warier as seconds passed. This was getting extremely suspicious and he wasn’t sure he wanted to know anymore, given the reactions he got just from not knowing whatever that thing was. In any case, apparently, said thing was pretty famous or at least common now.
The two kids shared a knowing and decided look, as if they telepathically agreed on something.
All of a sudden, Snatcher felt like he should have kept his mouth shut. But he didn’t have the time to think more, as the bow-wearing little girl moved behind him and pushed him more towards the television, while the older kid placed more pillows on the floor for him to sit on.
-“Wait, wait, what-” The former ghost tried to protest, but was interrupted as the brats forced him to sit down, his opinion clearly ignored from now on. Soon, one of the strange-looking device was placed in his hands, and he turned his head to the kids, even more perplexed than before.
-“Okay, so you definitely failed in life just not knowing what a video game was,” informed the hat-wearing child, an exaggerated look of disappointment in her eyes: “Allow us to educate you on that topic.”
-“Trust us,” added the younger one, placing her hand on her chest as if what she was saying was extremely important -when it wasn’t-: “We’re specialists.”
Snatcher’s confusion was now reaching new heights. He had no idea what they were talking about, and he was so bewildered by what was happening that, despite his wish to protest, his voice got stuck in his throat. His brain was trying so very hard to understand what was happening, but soon, the brats sat next to him… And started to explain things and concepts he had no idea existed before.
How did this even happen…? Whatever the answer was… Snatcher knew he was stuck with them until he learnt what those ‘video game’ things were.
This was it. Snatcher was cursed, and he had the feeling this was not going to end soon.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Well, everything goes well ! Isn't that wonderful ? Truly, it would be such a SHAME if SOMEONE were to ruin that................. Not that it's going to happen or anything !! ... Unless...?
:)c
Anyway, thank you all for your comments, they mean so much to me !

Thelreads, Vigilantes 18, Replies Part 3
1) “KOICHI HAD THIS POWER SINCE HE WAS A BABY, THIS ISN’T SOME SORT OF SURVIVAL AWAKENING LIKE WE SAW WITH TOGA OR SHIGARAKI, KOICHI ALWAYS WAS ABLE TO DO THIS, BUT SHE LITERALLY BEAT THAT OUT OF HIM, MAKING HIM REPRESS THAT ABILITY, AND APPARENTLY ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IT EVEN EXISTING
I KNOW THAT KOICHI WAS PRETTY MUCH A MENACE TO HIS OWN WELL-BEING, BUT GOOD FUCKING LORD, THIS WOMAN IS GETTING ON MY NERVES.”-
Baby Koichi: Dow’t hibt da gaddawm baby! Momchi: Koichi! Language! (smacks him)
Though honestly, I can kinda understand her fearing for koichi’s life with the ability to go literally anywhere he wanted at a baby’s age- actually, heck, Koichi might be some kinda prodigy in using his quirk, since they’re usually supposed to come through when the kid is 4 years old or so, but he was flying before he could fully walk- but at the same time, she wasn’t doing his health any favours by smacking him to the ground mid-air. And the problem continued when she never stopped seeing him as that little kid who’d hurt himself if he was outta her sight for too long, leading to her overprotective attitude towards him, and Koichi utterly repressing his potential thanks to her. 
Granted, it’s a good thing that Koichi’s quirk has far wider depth and variety than he first thought given its initial ‘useless’ state at the beginning as a crime-fighting tool, but if he’d managed to remember what he was actually capable of, Koichi would have far more confidence in himself and would probably have had more support in his dream of being a hero if more people were aware of his quirk’s true powers. As it stands, Koichi only really managed to improve himself as a hero once he moved away from Momchi and was put into situations where he had to test his limits, and found, to his surprise, that he’s not as limited as he initially believed, despite what everybody around him has told him his whole life. Izuku had to deal with a body that couldn’t handle the dream, Koichi has to deal with a spirt that’s been shackled so long it’s forgotten what it’s like to live free.
2) “DON’T WORRY KNUCKLE, YOU, AS KOICHI’S OFFICIAL PARENT, DID TEACH HIM EVERYTHING YOU COULD, AND HE TOOK THEM TO HIS HEART. DON’T WORRY, HE JUST BROKE A FEW RIBS THERE, HE LEARNED HOW TO FALL, EVEN IF PEOPLE TRIED TO STOP HIM FROM FLYING.”- Plus, this time he doesn’t even have the bike armour to help protect himself, so his relative lack of damage from taking a tumble like that, as shown by how scuffed up the hoodie got, was all due to his own skills.
3) “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, KOICHI’S FIRST JOB ALONGSIDE PRO-HEROES WAS A MAJOR SUCCESS, THE ONLY CASUALTIES WERE THE CAT AND THE HOODIE. ACCEPTABLE LOSES.”- Ok, Kuin might be a major queen B*tch, but I’ll give her one thing. At least she saved the cat. Sure, she put it in danger in the first place, but she also helped it unlock its ability to fuse with inorganic material I the process, which will surely help morgana acquire much food in the future. Thinking about it, pet stores and places that sell food much require extensive security to defend their produce from quirk-using animals
4) “HOW THE FUCK IS THAT CAT EVEN ALIVE?!
OH RIGHT, CATS CAN FALL FROM ANY HEIGHT, HA, FUCKING, HA. VERY FUNNY.”-  I assume it followed its instincts to land on its feet, and since it didn’t have feet in its fused form, instinctually de-fused from the bus to achieve that result.
5) “YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT IS THE ONE SLAP THAT I AGREE ON, EVEN I WANTED TO HIT YOU AFTER SAYING SOMETHING THAT STUPID.”- He’d be getting a slap for not being sad enough that she was leaving, so he was somewhat ‘obligated’ to act it out regardless of his actual feelings. Shame his acting skills couldn’t quite supress his sheer joy at seeing the back of her, hopefully for a long while.
6) “SHE’S OFFICIALLY PART OF THE ROMANCE SUBPLOT. KOICHI THINKS SHE’S JUST JOKING BACK, HE HAS NO IDEA, BUT POP, OH, SHE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT IT WAS SERIOUS
SHE HAS A RIVAL NOW”- And as further romance shenanigan traditions dictate, Koichi will interpret all future flirting attempts by Makoto as either her teasing him or keeping up the ‘act’ for his mom to help appease her on their next meeting. Pop, of course, will supress her anger at this and further facilities the misunderstandings, to ensure Koichi does not catch on before her own love confession happens.
7) “Anyway, seems like Koichi is floating after all, but not nearly as much as last time. Granted, last time he had his future girlfriend on his arms while his current boyfriend was trying to save him from certain death, but still…”- That said, he’s also using it on a solid surface, which is good for training purposes, but also shows that, in the heat of the moment, Koichi didn’t realise that he used the air itself as an activation point, nor that he used it with just his two feet to fly, only registering the fact he flew as an afterthought once the adrenaline wore off, and thus still limiting himself by not utilising/testing either of these two factors into his quirk usage. 
He recognises that he flew, but seems to have mostly forgotten how, and thus his quirk usage is improving, but not as much as it could given what he just pulled off. Hopefully, further testing of this new dimension to his quirk will let him remember/rediscover these factors and further utilise them to improve himself.
8) “Don’t worry Koichi, you’ll get there eventually, but what you already got changes the game completely, like, holy fuck it does. Floating will solve the problem you were having getting stuck, not to say you can probably jump from one surface to another more easily know
my god, Koichi is going to become so fucking OP once he masters this. Although that will take quite a while…”- Forget double jump. This might have some similarities to it, but this isn’t a video game. The main limit on Koichi’s repulsion seems to be the amount of ‘breath’ or whatever it is he used to push his speed up, so in times of crisis, he could literally pull off triple or even quintuple jumps by releasing multiple short blasts to delay his fall, or burn it all to achieve rocket jumps/nitro boosts on the ground.
 He no longer needs a fully flat surface to glide around and he can swiftly recover from getting stuck in potholes, not to mention that he can now manoeuvre above enemies as well even without handholds to grab onto. Once he gets his ‘stamina’ up, or whatever it is he draws from to create the repulsion, Koichi will be able to basically dance all over the environment mid-fight and recover instantly with a moment’s rest. Hell, he could probably keep up with, and maybe even surpass Bakugou himself in terms of environmental manoeuvring.
9) “THE ALMIGHTY ALL MIGHT HOODIE SACRIFICED ITSELF TO UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL KOICHI
HONOR ITS SACRIFICE BY GETTING STRONGER”-With this hoodie’s sacrifice, the power of thunder runs in Koichi’s veins. He moves like a bolt of lightning on the ground, and dances in mid-air like electricity jumping between the clouds. And when he finally gets his gun, he shall strike his enemies as swiftly and precisely as a bolt form the blue, without any prior warning for those poor souls who stand against the Thunder-Crawler.
