main 3! gaming headcanons!!

i missed kennys birthday because of my college classes wtf happy belated bday to kenny

a little off topic for the post but ive been playing around with the idea of making a band smau (after hours by 777bambi is so good every update got me at the edge of my seat) and ive primarily been focusing on that as of late so my next few posts might just be headcanons

Stan, Kyle, and Kenny and gaming with their s/o!! cw: implied nsfw on kenny's part

♡ STAN MARSH

Thinks it's great to game together, an easy way for you guys to bond and have fun!!

He kind of likes the more nostalgic games, like super mario bros for the wii (this made me look up the game to confirm it's age and it was made in 2009 wtf??)

Let's you be player 1 but the catch is that he gets to be luigi

Stan prefers playing games on the wii (and switch) and or the ps4/ps5. He's a console kind of guy.

Prefers playing video games at your house and he'll even bring the necessary consoles over if needed just because if his dad sees you two playing he's going to whine to Stan about joining in.

Aside from nostalgic games he's also an action game multiplayer fan, lot of games he has is stylized to be fit for multiple people, so think of games like "It Takes Two" or even the multiplayer parts of Pokemon SWSH / Pokemon SV.

If you're a more single player kind of person, he definitely doesn't mind watching you play while cuddling. Would probably fall asleep watching you play.

I could see him playing Stardew Valley co-op with you if you convince him, but doesn't enjoy the whole farming thing too much

He marries Abigail in retaliation for making him play it with you. (Marry Shane and he will IMMEDIATELY divorce Abigail and beg you to marry him)

He still definitely plays multiplayer pc games with his friends, but sees no real joy in playing it by himself (think like valorant or league)

HOWEVER, if you want to play those games with him? Total tryhard but the really bad kind of tryhard.

Considering he only plays these games with Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman and doesn't play it on his own time he kinda sucks lol.

Screams "YOU'RE BAD" into his mic when he actually downs someone. Screams "WHAT THE FUCK" if he gets downed that Sharon comes in running like "Stan are you okay?!"

He gets so frustrated when he dies that he starts literally pouting. Let him get the final kill if it's just you two against one.

Insta-locks on Sage just to heal you only in game

"Sage heal? Sage heal?" -your poor other teammates

You carry him in these games tbh.

♡ KYLE BROFLOVSKI

Unlike Stan, Kyle loves games like valorant, league, etc. He gets to let out his rage easily by winning

When he loses everyone in South Park knows, he's so mad. However he rarely loses so South Park is safe.

Out of his friends he's for sure got the most amount of kills and wins.

Screams "LETS GOOOOO" when he wins LMFAO. Then gives you a victory kiss.

FPS games is Kyle's specialty. He's def an omen main or something.

If FPS isn't your thing or if you're not good at it Kyle gets it. If you're willing he'll show you how to play (and how to get good fast) however just don't play with him, if you're lagging behind (even if you're new) he's so annoyed, but never mad.

Is willing to play other games with you 100%. Also thinks it's great to game together, even if your guys' gaming genres don't match he's willing to play what you like.

Mario Kart is your guys' go to. You always win against him which leaves Kyle in shock so he often demands rematches.

Ike joins with you guys sometimes and you both initially let Ike win. Ike gets mad though because he wants you both to play equally with him, so when you play fairly he still wins because Ike is just that guy.

Kyle is more of a pc gamer than anything, but if console is up to bat he's an xbox guy. Still is a fps guy on console but it's all single player.

HATES fortnite lol. Doesn't get the hype over it at all, he thinks the mechanics are stupid and won't play it. Might if you beg him to but.. you so owe him.

Is more of the guy that prefers you to watch as he plays, however has no issue if you want to take over playing and he watches, he makes you guys snacks to have while you play.

Avid minecrafter tbh, played it mainly for Ike but then got addicted. So now he makes you play it with him too. He's definitely the "miner". Goes all out on making sure you both have the best armor and weapons. Has a shit ton of diamonds so he made you a diamond shovel for the hell of it even though it's a dumb thing to waste diamonds on. Made you a pink wool heart behind your house when you were gone.

Also an avid tile matcher (think candy crush), begs you constantly for lives. Please give him lives he gives the MEANEST puppy dog eyes.

♡ KENNY MCCORMICK

AVID HORROR GAME ENJOYER LOL

Literally any type of horror game is his go to game. Also likes those RPG horror games (think like ib, the witch's house, misao)

Sets you up by saving right before a jumpscare and then has you come over to play it with him and then you get to experience the jumpscare.

Late night horror game playing with Kenny <3 where you two just play roblox horror games all night, sometimes he puts in the comedic horror ones just so you guys can laugh at how bad it is.

He borrowed Outlast from Cartman to play on your console and you still have nightmares.

"Don't worry baby, nothing can get you when I'm here!" "What if you're NOT here though :(" and then cue him as Mysterion for the next 3 weeks to protect you.

Demands to be princess peach or rosalina in any mario game you guys play. If only one of them is an option and you take that character he will refuse to talk to you until you give up the character

Is also another minecraft enjoyer but likes scaring you with Herobrine LOL and that one scary jukebox disc.

"(Y/N)...." "What Ken?" "Herobrine is outside our door rn" (Y/N) left the game

He also likes watching you play games. Lays down with his head in your lap watching you play.

Kenny prefers multiplayer games that aren't limited to just two players only multiplayer. Only because Karen can play the game with you two then.

If you do happen to playing a two player only multiplayer game and Karen wants to join he lets her take over for him.

Kenny also loves puzzle like games (think like escape room games or keep talking and no one explodes).

Really he just loves seeing your face get all frustrated when playing these kinds of games. He rarely gets frustrated with things like these because he manages to somehow always figure it out, but doesn't say anything just to watch you get annoyed.

If you start getting really frustrated at the game and he notices, he does one of three things; he takes the controller or your phone away and turns on a new game, he actually solves it to spare your sanity, or he saves the game and helps take your mind off of the game and onto something else.

🫧Hi🫧

Name: call me Dia💎

Age: I was born in 2002 and I'm too lazy to update my age every year💅

Nationality: Italian (English is not my first language so I might make some grammatical errors)

🏳️‍🌈: I'm a bisexual and demisexual/demiromantic girl (I use she/her pronouns)

MBTI: ENTJ (Don't stereotype me. I'm just really into doing things right and I like to have a plan for everything. I always try to find a solution to people's problems)

Something about me: I'm autistic 🪐 and I'm very extroverted, I like to socialize and meet new people. So if we have any interests in common, feel free to write to me🌌 (Read the continuation to find out more about me and what I post, it's important. Thank you)

🎮Favorite video games:

•League of Legends (I play on the European server)

•Wildrift

•Valorant (I don't play it that much because I'm not very good)

•Overwatch

•Team Fortress 2 (my hyper fixation, I need to talk to other tf2 fans. I'm going crazy, I don't know who to talk to about it, I'm afraid of appearing boring to my friends who aren't fans😭😭😭)

•Life is strange (this game made me realize I'm not straight)

•Detroit Become Human

•Danganronpa (I discovered this thanks to tik tok during the pandemic. It was very trendy at the time)

•The last of us

•The Sims 3/4 (I never had the chance to play the previous ones)

🍿My favorite TV series are:

•Shameless

•Love, Death & Robots

•Bojack Horseman

•Arcane

•She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

•Ever After High

🎼Singers I like:

•Madison Beer

•Mitski

•TV girl

•Bo Burnham

I actually listen to a lot of artists but I don't remember them all c:

🫧Things I like:

•Lost media

•Liminal space

•Dreamcore

•Nostalgiacore

•History of cinema (especially animated films)

•Psychology (and all other branches of this science. I also love anthropology and sociology)

•Travel and discover new places

•Everything that has to do with creativity (Drawing, writing stories and fanfiction, creating things like accessories for your clothes and such very cute things. I really admire people who can repaint dolls)

•Having fun (going out with my friends, watching films - if they're trashy films it's even better -, sending each other memes and tik tok videos and things like that)

🪷Hobby:

•Cosplay (Especially cosplaying my comfort characters)

•Drawing (I haven't drawn seriously since 2020. I'm waiting for inspiration)

•Collecting dolls (I love Monster High, Ever After High, Rainbow High and L.O.L O.M.G. I also collect Funko pops and figures from other brands. I also have many books and comics -which I have to finish reading because there are too many-)🧸

•Roleplay (Doing roleplay with me means that I have already organized the whole plot. But I also listen to the other person's ideas)

•Find out about the topics that interest me (Most of the time they have to do with culture. I'm a very curious person and I love to inform myself)

💿What I post on Tumblr:

•Things about my fandoms (Mostly I repost cute icons, headcanons and wallpapers) I post things related to my fandoms. I like making wallpapers, icons and moodboards (Maybe start writing some headcanons)

•Positivity (Especially mental health or pride posts about being a member of the LGBT community. Be yourself🌈Be unique)

•Aesthetics (If I see some nice photo of a sunset or the sky, I immediately repost it because I feel like it. I also post a lot of things related to nostalgia because as I said before I like the "nostalgiacore" aesthetic. And I'm very nostalgic, they were beautiful times when the only worry was "which Monster High character am I?")

•My posts are tagged "Dia's post"

🦦Other random things:

•My favorite musicals are Heathers and Ride The Cyclone (the name of my blog is a mix between two of these songs)

•I'm terrible with numbers and sometimes I read the wrong words (I have a learning disability -be patient-)

•In my blog there are posts about Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss BUT IT'S NOT A SPECIAL INTEREST OF MINE. I recognize that they are two series with a lot of plot holes and nonsense. But it still reminds me of time spent with my friends. I actually like hearing people analyze and criticize it. I'm fond of the character of Vaggie and I like the ship between Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb but as I wrote before: it's no longer a special interest of mine. I am neutral towards them

•I'm an atheist

•I am very interested in the meaning (and world) of dreams

‼️ Sometimes I also reposted something related to when I feel down. Unfortunately I have a lot of trauma but I'm trying to move forward and get better‼️

🔞I'm a girl from 2002 so I have young adult maturity‼️ For adults (because I know we are not all the same and not everyone likes some things) I would like to point out some things that I could reblog: I might reblog paintings or sculptures with naked people BUT also drawings with people semi-naked or shown in a sexy way. The artists I refer to are: Fumetti Brutti by Josephine Yole Signorelli and EvviArt. They are the only ones I follow but it is to make you understand what type of art I like. I could reblog posts where sexual topics are written: from the classic "use protection when having s3x" or raise awareness about some topics related to this theme. I want people to be informed about some aspects of this topic (I'm not talking about p0rnographic things ) such as the importance of using protection and above all how important consent is. I don't reblog kink-related stuff or explicit porn because it's not a topic of interest to me. And I don't even have kink because s3x isn't a topic that interests me. It doesn't shock me to hear about NSFW things (it disgusts me if disturbing topics are included in this topic). Many of my interests (TV series or video games and things like that) involve adult themes. I prefer to specify that I could publish things like this because I know that many people don't want to see these things. And in any case I want to talk to people my own age. If you like some wallpaper made by me, there are no problems because a wallpaper is a normal thing and everyone can use them. But if you don't like adult things then don't interact (especially if you're a minor) In summary: you can like icons or wallpapers or memes (these are innocent things and everyone likes them. Everyone uses icons and wallpapers) but interact with me if you are adults🔞

🧜‍♀️Comfort characters:

•Jinx (League of legends/Arcane. She is my main and for certain things I see myself in her)

•Seraphine (League of Legends. didn't like her at first but I love her gameplay. And I think she has the best skins -along with Jinx, of course-)

•Evelynn (League of Legends. She's a Goddess)

•Chloe Price (Life is strange. She made me understand that I like women too. I love this punk)

•Sunset Shimmer (Equestria Girls. She is one of the few ENTJs to be a positive character. I really like how her character has evolved)

•Reagan Ridley (Inside Job. We are very similar in certain things)

•Entrapta (She ra. I love this chaotic neutral autistic scientist princess. Again, I see myself in her)

•Kotori Minami (Love Live! When I was in middle school this was my favorite anime)

•Dia Kurosawa (Love Live! Sunshine. Love Live is an anime that accompanied me as I grew up. I'm very fond of it)

❕️I'm looking for young adult people like me (young adult means being over 18 and under 30). I have no problem with NSFW (I prefer artistic nudity) and I have no problem with swearing. I have a certain maturity so I want to interact with people like that.❕️

‼️ This is my safe space🗣 SO DO NOT INTERACT WITH ME IF YOU ARE: racist, homophobic, ableist, transphobic and against the LGBT community, do not interact if you are a pedophile and if you harm animals.Don't fetishize queer people. We are people, not nsfw categories. And don't romanticize the Mafia. Be kind and open-minded. Don't interact if you are against feminism (which I remind you, means gender equality), don't interact if you are people with ideas of hatred and discrimination. No ignorant people about mental health or what is happening in the world, because we are in 2024 and we need to have a minimum of culture. If you think abortion is murder, I would say you can also go elsewhere because I support women's rights and human rights in general. In general, don't interact if you are a person with bad ideas (that kind of bad ideas. Go away)‼️

🌟Talk to me if you are a normal person (and if you're nice and send funny memes. Or if you want to talk about some fandom in common or something. We can also play some video games together or talk about philosophical things like "what's the point of life?" or things like "do aliens exist?")🌟

Abigail Headcanons

I had wrote some of these for my old blog but forgot to save them so i forgot what i wrote and now I have to start over haha

Tw: cursing, brief sexual mention, cheating(not abby), some canon info may be wrong lmao

Is between 5'4-5'8

Mostly because she does give off tall goth mommy vibes but also gives off short angry troll vibes(I'm 4'11 I'm allowed to say this)

I think she's like 22-24

It's stayed at some point that she takes online college classes right? Or am i insane?

I do 100% think she's the wizards daughter I mean it does line up and if she's not then wtf

It's more than just the hair

But even then like isn't it said that she only dyed it ONCE and the color just never went away?

Like I feel like its one of those things where she had to activate the trait for it to show up

Like Idk if you've seen Barbie in a (and a?) Mermaid Tale but like

Barbie(her name isn't barbie but i cant remember what it is) doesn't show any mermaid traits at all until shes a certain age then she does things to trigger it(like going in the water and being able to breathe or her hair turning pink.)

Or traits that have been there already now making sense(her being obsessed with the water and surfing)

For Abigail, she just needed to dye her hair that specific color in order for it to stay in that state

And she has other abilities like being able to see the Junimos when literally no one else but the farmer and the wizard can.

And her love of adventure and the unknown

And i think she is a witchy girl along with Emily

Also the fact that Caroline hung out near the wizards tower then got pregnant with Abby

I think she still hangs out there sometimes or maybe its a mod or maybe I'm delusional(this one is a fact)

N e ways i've gone on too long about this

I think she would study for something like archaeology or something or like game development.

Does play video games as much as she can

Does rage quit

Gets angry when she dies

Though its canon that Abby and Seb would end up together if not with the farmer(I think?)

Highkey a toxic gamer but her outbursts are funny so it's allowed

I think she likes games like Undertale, the Sonic games, Mario, hates Valorant with a passion but still plays even though it only makes her angry

I feel like her feelings for him are shallow

Not in a bad way

But in a theres no one else for me to realistically end up with or crush on type thing

Like unless she's going to date one of the girls(I think Pierre is homophobic) Seb is her only choice

I do sorta ship her with Haley tho (goth gf x pink gf)

Does wish to be in the adventurers guilde but i also think she would be terrified

Also realistically I feel like she knows it wouldn't work out for long. Though she does sometimes go in the upper(lower?) levels of the mines.

100 percent prefers her mom to her dad

I think if she ever found out about the wizard possibly being her father it would make her be the most torn she has ever been

Because on one hand she does love pierre hes the man that raised her and I dont think she would accept cheating AT ALL and it would hurt her to know hes not her biological father

But on the other hand she would find it cool that theres a reason for her weirdness

Like theres a reason she can see the weird creatures in the forest when no one else can(to her knowledge)

Theres a reason for her longing to venture out and explore the unknown

And the wizard is pretty freaking cool seeing as she hangs out next to his tower often

Either showers everyday or once every 3 days there's no in between

Probably does want to travel at some point, maybe when she has her own money to spend.

If pierre wanted her to take over his store when he gets too old she would refuse

Is sorta sad she doesn't have any siblings, but at the same is glad because she only has to worry about herself

Learned to play the drums as a way to let out her anger

Has an okay voice when singing, but doesn't know how to properly hit notes without fucking up her voice

voyeurant | kenma kozume x f!reader

he tentatively wrapped a palm around the shaft, shuddering at the contact, his eyelids fluttering shut. god, i’m such a pervert, thinking about her like this. she’d hate me if she knew i saw her like that, knew that i was touching myself thinking about her tits...

warnings: 18+, timeskip!kenma, kinda dubcon, kenma’s unintentionally pervy, male masturbation, poorly written video game content (i tried my best), mutual pining but u both are oblivious

w/c: 1.5k

a/n: yes, the title is a shitty pun of valorant. no, i will not be changing it. also this tiktok about timeskip kenma made me giggle so pls enjoy.

voyeurant: part one ↓ | part two | part three:

“fuck, i hate this map,” kenma grumbled into his headset.

your voiced chimed in his ears. “is it ascent?” you turned to see his face on your screen, pinched in annoyance. “ha, it is ascent. sucks for you.”

“which one are you on? haven?”

“you know it,” you chuckled. “your favorite.”

“i hate you.” he weighed his options, did he really want to play this game? the layout of the world made it irritatingly hard to strategize, and today’s losing streak was making him more agitated than usual. with a sign, he closed the application. “fuck this. i’m gonna go piss.”

“yeah, yeah, you’re such a big baby. and...” you released your mouse, throwing your hands up in triumph, “we just won. at this point, i’m gonna outrank you.” you were joking, of course. kenma wasn’t just a gamer, he was kodzuken, one of japan’s best pro-gamers, and you were just someone that played as a hobby. but it was always fun to tease.

“hmm,” he hummed. “i’m sure you will.” he turned his head to look directly at his webcam, smirking, “in your dreams.”

“ooh, catboy’s getting feisty!” he flinched at the nickname. “go pee so i can beat you at your best.”

he obliged, pulling his headphones off and looping them on the top of his chair. he casually raised his middle finger at you while smoothing out strands of his hair, prompting a series of profanities to escape your mouth, none of which he could hear. he chuckled playfully as you responded with two middle fingers of your own, before moving out of the camera to get to the bathroom.

you and kenma had met in an... interesting way, to say the least. after going moderately viral from lashing out at him for refusing to heal you in a game of overwatch—while he was streaming—the two of you reconciled over a twitter thread and exchanged gamer tags. since then, you’d struck up an easygoing friendship, characterized by almost nightly discord calls and occasional flirting. but we’re just friends, you often reminded yourself. and you were fine, well, mostly fine, with that.

tonight was like any other night: both you and him spending hours in a video chat with nothing better to do than mindlessly play games and bash each other. it was more than enough to strengthen your relationship but fell short of giving you the romantic tension you craved.

with kenma off in the bathroom, you, already bored, spun wildly in your chair. forgetting that your earbuds were still plugged in, the white wire caught on an opened can of coke sitting on your desk, spilling the sugary drink all over your keyboard and the front of your shirt. 

“shit!” you quickly scrambled for paper towels, but the still-connected wire yanked you backwards. in your haste for something to wipe the soda with, the fact that your camera remained on in the video call completely slipped your mind. making the split-second decision that the trip for a towel wasn’t worth it at this point, you quickly whipped off your shirt, dabbing the keys with the part that was still dry. since you were home, you’d gone braless, and your current predicament had you flashing your webcam.

now, kenma had seen a lot of things from your side of the call: he’d seen you get chewed out by your residential advisor for being too loud, you with two sticks of pocky poking out of your mouth like walrus tusks, and you doing random cosplay moves you’d seen on tiktok. what he wasn’t expecting to see, not even in his wildest dreams, was a screenful of your tits, slightly damp from the cola that had seeped through the fabric of your long-gone shirt.

he stopped in his tracks, still out of the frame of his camera, eyes wide and heart racing, desperately trying to calm down and prevent the gradual hardening of his cock in his pants. unable to deny his desires, he continued staring at your plump breasts on his computer, you completely unaware that he could see you.

you quickly threw your soaked top in the laundry basket before throwing on a random sweatshirt and trying to calm your frazzled nerves. you tentatively touched your keyboard, groaning internally when you fingers lightly stuck to the buttons. it’s gonna take forever to clean this, you mourned.

“hey,” kenma mumbled, reappearing on screen and shaking you out of your thoughts.

“hey.” you noticed his flushed expression. “are you okay? you look really red.”

“uh, yeah. i actually uh, i feel kinda sick. so i’m gonna, gonna go.”

“oh, okay.” why’s he acting so weird? “feel better!” you disconnected from the call with a huff, disappointment morphing your face into a pout. well, you thought, better get to cleaning.

kenma, on the other hand, was still, swallowing as the bulge in his boxers became agonizingly hard. though the only thing left on his screen was his reflection staring back at him, the luscious view of your bust was etched in his mind. his hands moved to free his cock, the tip an angry red and smearing pre-cum over the waistband of his underwear. 

he tentatively wrapped a palm around the shaft, shuddering at the contact, his eyelids fluttering shut. god, i’m such a pervert, thinking about her like this. she’d hate me if she knew i saw her like that, knew that i was touching myself thinking about her tits...

“fuck,” he whined, slowly stroking up and down. his thighs trembled as he fell back into his chair, mind wandering. he couldn’t stop himself, his thoughts become more and more lewd, fantasizing about how your breasts would bounce as he thrusted into you, how your thighs would wrap warmly around your head as he ate you out, how you’d cry out his name so prettily when he made you squirt around his fingers.

it was all too much, and as the circle he made with his fingers tightened as he reached his tip, he lurched forward, alarmed at how good everything felt just by thinking about you. i can’t cum, i can’t, the small part of his brain that wasn’t completely overtaken with pleasure tried to reason with him. there’s no going back if i—shit—if i cum. she’ll know, somehow, if i—if i cum, i—

the ecstasy kept clouding his judgement and his body worked against his mind as his hand pumped faster and faster while his conscience screamed to stop. his wrist wetly slapped the base of his cock, the sounds of both his hands and his moans getting too loud for comfort, but all he could think about was you. your eyes, your mouth, your chest, your legs, your ass, your pussy. god, he wanted to be in you so badly.

he couldn’t hold back, his insatiable need to cum overriding his senses, and the translucent liquid twitched out of his throbbing cock in spurts, drenching his fist and his balls. “fuck, fuck, fuck. i’m—fuck.”

he collapsed against the back of his chair, chest heaving with the sheer intensity of his orgasm. he combed a hand through his hair, the consequences of his actions now weighing heavily on his shoulders. i’m never gonna be able to look at her in the eyes again, he lamented. how am i ever gonna—damn it. 

the sudden ping of a notification had his eyes raising from the mess on his pants towards his computer screen. 

meanwhile, you were messaging kenma, a little off-put by his sudden radio silence but chalking it all up to his mysterious sickness.

[11:05 PM] you: hey ken! hope u feel better

[11:05 PM] you: if u get the chance u should check out what i added to our minecraft house. its perfect for sick victorian orphans like u

[12:14 PM] you: guess

[12:05 PM] you: guess

[12:05 PM] you: guess

[12:05 PM] you: guess

[12:05 PM] you: why arent u responding

[12:05 PM] you: guess

[12:05 PM] you: ok u got me ill tell u

[12:05 PM] you: its a hot tub

[12:05 PM] you: but with soup

[12:05 PM] you: but the soup is lava

[12:05 PM] you: genius right

[12:06 PM] you: anyway get some sleep and feel better <3

[12:06 PM] you: lmk if u wanna play animal crossing

[12:06 PM] you: actually no u should sleep. rest ur eyes and shit

[12:06 PM] you: no animal crossing for u!

[12:06 PM] you: sleep well so i can destroy ur ass in val tmrw

[12:06 PM] you: >:)

he sighed as he read your one-sided ramblings. he really liked you.

and he really wanted to fuck you. lucky for you, you wanted the exact same thing. 

if only kenma knew what you did on the other side of the screen, hands in your undies and his name on your lips...

Wait what was that bit about Pokémon Go nearly causing your parants’ divorce

Okay so sit down and strap in this is gonna be a long one.

So my father is a person that exists, right. Most of my stories about my father land somewhere in the "is your dad an alien" range of being that wonderful mixture of quirky and straight up horrifying that will definitely be funny in hindsight. Probably. Maybe.

Maybe.

Anyway he's really into Pokemon in the way of someone who's never actually played a pokemon game or... Any. Game. As far as I can tell. We had VCR tapes when I was a kid he recorded off of the TV with Pokemon episodes and he played them to me when I was in the crib so much that my first word was Squirtle, but he doesn't have the attention span for video games. And then comes the summer of 2016.

Now, some more context.

My father lost his telecommunications job in the great recession and after four years working overseas came home with his tail between his legs and found his second calling as a full time couch potato

My mother is a lapsed Catholic wound care nurse whose fond story about how she met my father starts with the words "he annoyed the piss out of me"

You can see how this is not exactly the setup for Marital Bliss. My brother and I used to take bets about if they'd get divorced once we both left for college. And then neither of us managed to stay at college. But anyway, back to the summer of 2016.

I'm gonna put a cut here and warn that this story is going to contain... Uuuuh unsafe driving, catholicism, and some weird weird emotional manipulation. Okay? Okay. Let's go.

So it was probably my fault, but in my defense, absolutely everybody needed more friends in Pokemon go in 2016, and I did not have an abundance of those, since, as mentioned. Home from college. And my father has a habit of trying to stay current, so while I can't place the exact conversation in my memory, it almost certainly went "hey what's this Pokemon game everyone is talking about" "oh it's a new app! It's really easy, you should try it." And there began the slowly unfolding horror of the next six years. Or maybe he asked me what all of those people were doing lurking around and the only thing I have to blame myself for is that time I introduced him to Reddit. Regardless, at the time that absolutely everyone was playing Pokemon go, my old fuck of a father was out there with my brother and I, and we like. Actually got along for like two blissful months. And then things started to get a little weird.

Now, my mother is, as mentioned. A nurse. She not only works an incredibly high stress job full time, she has no patience for superfluous crap, and so she was not joining us, and was in fact, starting to get a Little Stressed about the fact that instead of looking for a job my father was playing Pokemon go full time, joining discord servers for other players, and generally talking about the game nonstop and how much he hated team valor players. I kind of tuned that out because "your dad needs to get a job" was sort of a recurring motif in our household and like, I was a box office worker at a movie theater so what am I supposed to do about it, mom.

But here's the thing— box office at the movie theater is a night job. So I'd get home Late. And my dad's always had some problems with insomnia, so running into him as I was coming in wasn't Super unusual, but what WAS unusual was the fact that he was... Going out. As I was coming in. At 1 and 2 and 3am (hey kids don't buy tickets to the last showing of a movie on a weeknight your movie theater employees will thank you) and when I asked him what he was doing, he went. Oh you haven't heard about PokeRadar?

For those who didn't live this, or were too legit to use it, PokeRadar was a short lived hack that allowed you to see what was spawning on a map of your area and how long it would be there. So my father was opening his PokeRadar map at 1 and 2 and 3 in the morning and seeing that there was a Dratini down the street and just Wandering Out In The Middle Of The Night to catch it. I'll cop to having gone with him a few times, even. So that's. Happening. And then the server outages start happening, it gets more and more frustrating to play Pokemon go, they're slowing down releasing things, the community days are starting to suck, and my father is.... Still playing.

And not only is he still playing, he's getting worse. There's a Catholic church near our house with a gym on it and a bunch of Pokestops and he goes over there so often that a priest came out to talk to him about finding more meaningful pursuits. He started going to the church every Sunday during mass to take down the gym while no one's in the parking lot. (Remember I mentioned my mother being formerly Catholic? Yeah that one didn't go over great) He's also started softly kidnapping my brother and I every time we go out to eat. He just takes random detours on the way home and tries to convince us to join in the raid "since we're already here, come on, I need three people for this raid". He makes a discord account that has my great uncle's name (my mom's uncle) because it's the "most generic name he could think of". He literally will not let my brother and I go home directly after meals. He still doesn't have a job. My parents don't stock the fridge and my dad is going out to eat while Pokemon go-ing for every meal so it gets to the point where my brother and I look at each other and realize we literally have to play Pokemon go with this man if we want reliable access to food.

But the thing that really drove my drove my mother insane— after the 2am climbing out of bed to catch a Dratini and the lack of a job and the constant bitching about team valor and IVs and candies and the lack of food in the fridge and so on and so forth. And I am surely forgetting some of it. As if all of that weren't bad enough. The thing that Almost broke my mother was the fact that this man plays Pokemon go and drives.

When Pokemon go was first introduced they didn't quite have the egg hatching system figured out yet and you could hatch eggs while driving. And then they introduced the speed measure and you could only hatch eggs driving slow. But Pokemon still spawn at full car speed! And that is why my life has flashed fully before my eyes more than once because my dad has mounted the phone against his center console and just played. Constantly.

Anyway this story ends on a bit of an anticlimax, because I once asked my mother why she hadn't divorced my father yet and she looked me dead in the eyes and said "when you marry someone you swear to love them until they die" but I've lived with these miserable assholes for the better part of 25 years and I swear my mother has never been closer to divorce papers than the day my father decided it would be a good idea to go 15 miles per hour in a giant circle instead of going directly to our destination and nearly got into an accident because he was spinning a PokeStop.

He still does it tho.

Has Not Stopped.

Anyway thanks if you read this far plugging my ko-fi because I still live with these people and I Hope That Answered Your Question, Anon.

Bonus: one time we went out to play Pokemon go with my dad and my stoner boyfriend and my stoner boyfriend's Californian friend and the Californian friend looked at me and went, verbatim "Yo your dad's cool though. I fuck with your dad." And I had no words for that one. None. I still don't.

My BnHA AU List

Sorry for the length. Fics that are currently available to read have links. To those of you mentioned in this post, I wanted to make sure people knew where the ideas originally came from. (And you’re all awesome anyway!)

Can't See The Forest For The Trees - Genderbent Midoriya Izuku who became a vigilante known as the Forest in Musutafu. Has been operating for five years dealing mostly with information gathering and dispersal and some smaller situations that crop up on the streets. Todoroki Shouto is on patrol in the area and takes an interest in the unknown vigilante after she helps out with a situation where he got in over his head. AO3

A Piece of Patchwork (Improperly Placed) - AU where Izuku and Aizawa swap places in canon. Izuku fights the hero system to become the first quirkless hero, graduating alongside Present Mic. He gets called in to help in a situation where the villain has the ability to steal quirks, five years before the start of canon, providing part of the back-up team for All Might. Part 1 is the battle against All for One, part 2 is an alternate ending to the fight. Part 3 is Izuku learning to use One for All, which was forcefully given to him by All Might at the end of the battle. Part 4 is the other half of the role swap, where Aizawa grows up alongside Bakugou and is trying to get into UA. AO3

The Fallacy of Greatness (AKA Tenth, in my files) - AU where the whole first year class of UA in canon is born 4 years later than in canon. All Might encounters a 10 year old Izuku who asks if he can be a hero. Even after rescuing Bakugou and proving his heroic spirit, All Might elects not to give One for All to a child as young as Izuku. Izuku, desperate for someone to believe in his dreams, realizes that he has to be his first believer and decides to take matters into his own hands and prepare for a future in heroism on his own. AO3

The Capture Scarf Caper - Based on an idea from @terrible-my-hero-academia-aus Izuku finds Aizawa's capture scarf discarded in an alley and takes it home. He figures out how to use it and becomes so proficient that it accidentally gets mistaken for a quirk. Deciding to capitalize on the strange bias he's come up against, he uses the capture scarf to get into Class 1-A. Unfortunately, this means his teacher is the original owner of his scarf. Suddenly his deception is a lot more desperate and precarious. Meanwhile, Aizawa is trying to figure out why his instincts are telling him to pay such close attention to this anxious kid. AO3

The Better Part of Valor - Suspected Traitor Izuku AU a la @gentrychild. After Aizawa discovers one of Izuku's hero analysis notebooks, he drags Izuku to an interrogation room trying to get him to confess to being the traitor in UA. Izuku comes to realize that several of his classmates were also made aware of this theory and have been feeding information on his movements to their teacher for a while. Betrayed, he starts to pull away from class, falling back into some of the same habits from middle school to go unnoticed and fall off of people's awareness. At some point, his classmates realize that he's no longer staying in the dorms, they only ever see him in class, and All Might is the only person he will voluntarily interact with.

Civil Disobedience - All Might doesn't track Izuku down after the slime incident, but Bakugou's parting words cut far deeper after the day he's had. Realizing that everyone talks about how great of a hero Bakugou will be, Izuku comes to the conclusion that he wants to be the exact opposite of what Bakugou is. He elects to become a villain who goes after and exposes corrupt heroes. Adopting the username Wasureta for his villain work, he collects information on heroes who aren't performing their job as they should and releases it to the court of public opinion, taking away the support that has kept them from being exposed before this. As he digs deeper into the cesspool of rotten heroes, he manages to collect enough information to rake Endeavor over the coals and ends up with an interesting new follower. Dabi, meanwhile, is shocked by the ruthless but polite teenager he found when he tried to find Wasureta and he's not sure if he's impressed by what the kid has accomplished on his own, or horrified by the scope of what he controls.

Hunting Prometheus - There is another quirkless student attending Aldera Middle School, but she wasn't born that way unlike Izuku. When she was seven, her quirk was stolen from her by a man with a smooth voice and a forgettable face and she's been existing in a state of carefully cultivated rage since that day. Before, she never even considered becoming a hero. Now her only goal is to become a hero so she can find that man and punch him in the face. (OC fic, obviously)

Lost Stars in an Indifferent Universe - Leverage AU, five parts, origin for each member of the team. Izuku is told to be realistic and he tries to be following his disastrous encounter with All Might. But realistic means that he has already exceeded the life expectancy of quirkless individuals, acknowledging the fact that no amount of studying or work will let him join a remotely helpful career, and he is stuck living with his mother while he wastes away as a janitor at a nearby middle school following the completion of his high school education. When he returns to a tall building he hadn't managed to convince himself to jump off of yet, he finds that the abandoned space has been taken over by a black market of sorts and gets folded into a world of grey morals and an underground economy based on merit instead of quirk. When he becomes aware of an illegal quirk experimentation operation and tries to blow the whistle, several attempts are made on his life in order to shut him up. Instead of disappearing, he gets angry and decides to collect a team to strike back and prove the shady shit the lab is up to. (Izuku=Mastermind, Shinsou=Grifter, Hatsume=Hacker, Shoji=Hitter, Eri=Thief)

Love and Other Things Not Bound By the Laws of Time - Mr. Peabody and Sherman AU. Nezu adopts a young Midoriya Izuku whose mother died shortly after he was diagnosed as quirkless. Determined to show his new son that one's quirk or lack thereof means nothing in the grand scheme of things, UA's principal develops the WABAC machine to travel through time and prove just how capable people were before quirks manifested. He indulges Izuku's passion and curiosity, encouraging him to look into as much or as little as he wants on any subject. It becomes clear that, while not supernaturally intelligent, Izuku is a genius whose ability to make connections and strategize is by far his greatest asset, especially as he still holds onto the goal of becoming a hero.

The Quiet Revolution (collab w/ my sister) - The Todoroki siblings need therapy. Instead of getting that therapy, they decide to meet up for dinner every Saturday night, begin a tradition where they burn their father in effigy each week, accidentally start a highly successful Minecraft YouTube channel, and generally cause the downfall of the existing hero system through the power of networking.

You Can Tell What I Am By The Lines In My Skin - BnHA/Naruto AU. Naruto dies in his own universe and is reborn into the My Hero Academia Universe as Midoriya Izuku. He remembers who he was, but his chakra, which followed him into this life, is always out of reach. He trains as best he can to keep up his regular ninja skills but can't break through the barrier separating him from his chakra. He still meets and trains under All Might. When he receives One for All, however, the sensation that fills him is entirely familiar. It breaks through the barrier as though it isn't even there, and settles inside like it's always been there. Honestly, he had been missing the angry furball anyway, so he was glad Kurama managed to follow him to this world. With access to his chakra again, the world is about to discover just how effective one shinobi can be in a world of heroes.

War Games - (Inspired by RogueDruid's Hero Class Civil Warfare and others similarly inspired by it.) A year-wide hero class exercise is announced. Bakugou is announced as the Hero leader while the villain leader's identity is kept secret. Izuku knows it's him before the letter appears in his room. The students are allowed to pick whichever side they want, but most choose the hero side, which has won the exercise every time it has been run. This year is no different. Todoroki realizes that Izuku is the villain leader and signs up with him. Izuku goes and recruits Momo and Monoma to his side. Then, after consulting the rules, he folds in Shinsou and Hatsume as well. Monoma plays decoy villain leader and attempts to collect a few more people, but they've already signed up for the hero side. Izuku, without explicitly saying that he's signed up with the hero team, gets folded into the hero strategy sessions since no one expected him to make a different choice. He proceeds to get "taken out" in the first villain assault, and most people don't realize what's happening until it's far too late.

Life's A Game (And I'm Player One) - AU in which Izuku realizes that he does have a quirk but can't tell anyone about it because a) he can't prove it and b) it could be dangerous if he talks about what he can see. His quirk, which he privately calls Stat Check, freezes time just for him in order to open up what looks like a video game character bio that explains a person's quirk, as well as containing vital statistics. It only works in person or on unaltered photographs with a person's face or a distinctive enough feature to identify them. As he gets older, more tabs are added to the bio, and he starts to notice signs above certain people's heads telling him what level he needs to be to fight them (he stops seeing these after receiving OfA, until he sees AfO in Kamino Ward). In pictures, only the first tab is available unless he took the picture while time was frozen, in which case all the tabs are accessible. Because of this, he has accordion folders filled with photographs of people instead of analysis notebooks.

Of Unpainted Fences and Raw Ingredients - Smart Izuku AU. He has been writing essays about hero society, morality, and several other issues since before UA, but he doesn't realize how much people are paying attention to them until the essays start becoming required reading for certain classes. Meanwhile, the teachers are desperate to get in contact with him, not expecting that the essayist they have been gushing over is sitting near the back of the class, trying not to blush.

In A Mirror Darkly - Aizawa is out on patrol with Shinsou and Midoriya when they are attacked and the boys are apparently obliterated by an enemy quirk. The rest of the class attempts to help Aizawa, but he blames himself for their deaths. It doesn't help that he keeps seeing flashes of them in the mirror out of the corner of his eye and could swear he heard one or both of their voices in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, Shinsou and Midoriya are stuck out of sync with the rest of the universe and can't communicate with anyone except Aizawa, and only through mirrors. Izuku figured out that they have maybe two weeks before they waste away since they can't interact with anything being stuck in this in-between space. The only way they can get out is for Aizawa, who was there when they de-synced, to touch them and bring them back in sync with the rest of the world.

Guerilla Tactics - Vigilante Class 1-A AU. After the slime villain debacle, Izuku runs away from Bakugou and the heroes. He literally runs into Todoroki Shouto and they commiserate about how the heroes have failed them. Realizing a bit late exactly who Shouto's father is and why he's trying to run away, Izuku offers to come up with a plan to help him get away cleanly. (This is sort of the worst timeline, where most of the good teachers aren't employed at UA, Nezu is not the principal, and the HPSC is in charge of almost everything.) The plan they come up with involves Shouto failing the recommended exam, then disappearing the day results arrive home. Izuku, meanwhile, attends the regular exam and sees how the whole points system benefits those with flashier quirks and easily aimed egos. He gets to talking with a lot of hero hopefuls and sort of steals them out from under UA when their applications are rejected. They move into an abandoned sector of outer Tokyo and start working as vigilantes. Dadzawa makes an appearance, as if summoned by the horde of teenagers with no form of parental guidance to speak of.

No Rest for the Wicked (Or The Damned) - Person Of Interest AU. Instead of apologizing to Izuku when he asked if he could still be a hero without a quirk, Inko points out the other ways he can be a hero, by building the things they would need to fight crime. Figuring that one of the main problems with villains is that no one knows when they're going to attack, Izuku creates an intelligent program that can assess a high volume of data and extrapolate when and where a villain attack will take place, and who the villain will be. When his mom is killed and he's badly injured in an attack his AI predicted, Izuku realizes that no one is taking his information seriously because he's quirkless. He decides to take matters into his own hands and reaches out to an unlikely helper. Dabi doesn't know why this kid decided he was the best option to stop a lot of the more violent crime he somehow knows is going to happen, but he promised and then delivered Endeavor's fall from grace, so he's willing to see where this goes.

Binary Stars - Slight Megamind AU. Before their respective planets were destroyed, Izuku and Bakugou were placed in small space pods and sent towards Earth. Bakugou's people were warriors who looked enough like humans that they intermarried (unbeknownst to humans), thus bringing about the first quirks. Izuku's people, however, are survivors. Their planet was populated by predators so their greatest asset was their ability to camouflage themselves. As Bakugou's people often hunted Izuku's people, they gained a sort of sixth sense for them, which is why Izuku's very presence pisses Bakugou off. (All for One is from Bakugou's planet. He was exiled for stealing power. The last power he stole was what he gave his brother, and the brother always resented him for getting them both sent away.) Izuku still receives OfA, and is the first of his species to have a quirk/power like that.

The Wings of Icarus - Spy AU. Todoroki Shouto works for Yuuei, an espionage agency run by his father. He's been training practically since birth, no thanks to his father, and is second in the spy business only to a person known as Icarus. When something goes wrong on a mission, he is rescued by a short man with freckles and deep green eyes shortly before he passes out. He is found at one of the entrances to Yuuei with a note from Icarus to the tune of "I think you lost this", making Shouto the only person to have actually seen Icarus. Meanwhile, Nezu is running a small but successful info brokerage out of a bakery with three kids he picked up off the streets years before: Izuku, Shinsou, and Hatsume. Codenames: Icarus, Psyche, and Daedalus, respectively. Nezu is known as Zeus.

Dark is the Night (Momo is Batman: version 1) ​ - Based on an idea from @terrible-my-hero-academia-aus​ . Momo loses her parents in a villain attack when she's eight. She throws herself into her studies in earnest, determined to be a hero. In the meantime, however, she has a hard time ignoring all of the hardship she sees on the streets, all of the crimes that go unanswered.  However, to duck the vigilantism laws and disguise her identity, she wears a suit that covers every part of her body (think Cassandra Cain as Batgirl) because no one would assume that someone with a creation quirk that needed exposed skin to function was under it. She produces everything she needs at home. Aizawa notices that there's someone off about Yaomomo, something fake. It isn't until he runs into her on patrol that he figures something out.

Used to the Darkness (Momo is Batman: version 2) - Based on an idea from @terrible-my-hero-academia-aus​ . Bruce Wayne was reincarnated as Yaoyorozu Momo. She remembers everything about her previous life, but she has adapt all of the fighting training she knows to her new female body. The intelligence and detective skills are useful in this new world, especially since a good portion of logic and deduction has fallen by the wayside for the majority of those in law enforcement. The quirk is something else to get used to, but it's highly effective at producing materials of various things needed for vigilantism. She's interested to see how far she can take the limits of the superpower this universe had given her. At the very least, she's more than capable of recreating the gear she had. Even though her parents haven't died in this universe, she still ends up going out at night and trying to help in whatever way she can. Upon meeting and befriending Todoroki Shouto, she realizes the good she can be in this universe. She attacked the corruption in Gotham wherever she could. Why shouldn't she be able to do the same here? The night is still dark and the people who hide in it are the same cowards they've always been. It's about time someone reminded them that the dark hides more than just their actions.

A Rose By Any Other Name (AKA the Haruhi AU) - Based on a prompt found on @rayshippouuchiha‘s blog. Midoriya Izumi is having trouble staying in uniform after starting middle school because her bullies have decided to step up the abuse a little bit and keep burning them. She had three sets of uniforms, and all three are burned by the third day of classes. What's more, the nurse doesn't have any spare girls uniforms and her teacher insists that she needs to be in uniform and not in her gym outfit. Since the nurse does have a boys uniform that would fit her, Izumi elects to follow her teacher's instructions and shows up in a boys uniform as she doesn't care as much about the clothes she's wearing as she does about following what her teacher said. Cue a gender identity crisis. AO3

Nothing But The Truth - Izuku is hit by a truth quirk while out on patrol and Aizawa is made to babysit him until it wears off. Although he tries to avoid more sensitive lines of questioning, Aizawa asks about his analysis notebooks and ends up accidentally learning about One For All, Izuku's life prior to receiving it, and what his Problem Child's true goals regarding heroism are. (Might become a series with this as a oneshot, or a multi-chapter story as originally planned.)

Panacea - Izuku has a hidden quirk his whole life, one that people didn't even consider could be a quirk. He has a super-powered immune system, and it can and will treat damaging quirks as an infection to fight. His burns from Bakugou's quirk heal faster and faster, emitter quirks used on him start to be less effective after the first couple of times until they don't work at all. He has the ultimate cure in his blood and no way to share it. And then he receives One For All, a powerful stockpiling quirk with a secondary aspect that makes it capable of passing from person to person regardless of heritage. Izuku doesn't realize it, but his invisible quirk got a free pass to start changing the world, one touch at a time. (Possible Dad For One) (Just had the stupid thought that Izuku's quirk is basically Cure For All)

Prototype - While getting scolded after the Slime Villain incident, an underground hero known as Prototype shows up and forces the other pros on the scene to back off. They then walk Izuku home (accidentally forcing him to miss All Might's offer). During the walk, Izuku confesses that he is giving up on his dream of being a hero since everyone says it's impossible. Prototype points out that Izuku was the only one on the scene who was thinking about a solution from more than one angle, which is a useful skill for an underground hero to have. They offer to take him on as their apprentice in the underground, promising that if he still wants to be a hero, an apprenticeship would be more flexible and faster than trying to become a hero through one of the heroics schools. They advise Izuku to think about it and discuss it with his mom, since he would probably be spending a lot of time training out of the house and not every parent is willing to let their child basically move in with someone they barely know. Izuku, after talking things over with his mom, decides to go for it, embarking on a totally different journey to being a hero than he ever expected.

Yesterday's Sunshine (A Storm On The Rise) - Based on @hey-hamlet's End of An Era AU in which the mind of a 19 year old Izuku fighting a losing battle against Paranormal Liberation Front and the League of Villains is sent back to his 14 year old body, a mere month after he started training with All Might. He is traumatized and trying to hide the fact that he is shocked to see the people he knows died walking around again, untouched and whole. He's determined to make everything better this time, to keep his loved ones from dying or betraying him in the worst ways. He also needs to try and stay ahead of the people around him, who are trying to figure out why this child who shouldn't have encountered many villains in his life, is so terrifyingly good at putting them down hard. (I'm considering adding an aspect of DFO.)

Searching for Tododeku - Or Five Times Shouto Tricks Midoriya Into A Date and One Time Midoriya Asks Him Instead. Featuring semi oblivious Izuku, Shouto stealth-competing for the title of supreme memelord with Kaminari, and a cameo of Endeavor's crippling addiction to tabloid magazines.

Planar Shift - An All For One-Izuku body swap just weeks prior to a fight that would have left AFO and All Might both greviously injured. Izuku is quick to realize that the person he ended up in doesn't seem to be a nice person (and he tries not to think about what it would mean if the person is in his body around Kacchan) and has a lot more quirks than a person should have. His childhood doctor is there, as is a strange boy with delicate skin, a disintegration quirk, and a love of video games but little else. Then there's the purple mist person who reads as both alive and dead to one of Izuku's new quirks. When he figures out that All Might is trying to track this villain down (and will probably think it's a trick if Izuku tries to explain his situation), he decides that he should get himself, the kid, and the not-dead-but-not-alive person out of there. He doesn't know how long he's going to be in this body, but he wants to be the hero those two need, even if he's technically a villain.

Environmental Damage - Hitman Izuku AU. When Izuku's mother is killed when he's young, he manages to track down the killer but the police won't take him seriously because he's quirkless. Neither will any of the heroes he approached with it. So instead he goes back to the criminal underground where he found most of his information and talks to an assassin who had a soft spot for him. Izuku agreed to become the man's apprentice so he can take out the person who killed his mother himself. After that, he starts selling his services to people who can't get out of bad situations, offering a much reduced rate compared to other contract killers. Then a kid his age with red and white hair approaches him about killing the Number Two hero.

Summertime and Seaglass - Aizawa keeps running into this mute homeless kid on his patrols. He's not sure what to make of him, except that he needs someone to care for him, especially as the nights are getting colder. Treating the kid a bit like an abused and feral cat, he starts taking food with him to offer the kid when they meet up. It's more or less an accident when he learns the kid's name is Midoriya Izuku, a child thought to be dead and burned three years before when he and his mother were caught in a villain attack that was ended violently by Endeavor. Aizawa wants to give Midoriya and all of the other victims of Endeavor's carelessness the justice they deserve, and maybe by the time he's done the kid will let him bring him in from the cold.

The Importance of Being Batman - (Based on an idea from @terrible-my-hero-academia-aus​ .) Izuku spends a lot of time on forums for quirkless people, getting support and advice from other people like him who don't have a quirk. He gets the attention of an old Admin, Toshinori, and they talk about heroics, pre-quirk comic books, and the importance of representation and symbols in modern media and culture. After failing to get into heroics in the entrance exam, Izuku shifts his focus slightly. Batman didn't have any special powers in the comics, but he was one of the best heroes in his universe. Izuku decides that if he can build the skills, knowledge and (most importantly) money to become his own version of Batman, that would be almost like being a hero. It's time that society learns that 'useless' is a matter of choice, not birth, and even someone who doesn't have a quirk can do incredible things.

DQXI/ATLA Crossover

Crossover week: Home | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |

And so it begins! Time to pull out my fat folder of fic ideas!

This one I have a vague plot down but need to work on it a lot to get it to where I want it to be. There are many elements of the spirit world from the Legend of Korra that I think would lend itself very well to the ideas I’m about to discuss, but unfortunately, it’s been whole years since I have last watched the show, which I never finished.

More under the cut because it gets long. Spoilers for a potential future Saru fic and parallels to DQXI and a bit of Legend of Korra.

Rating: T

Relationships: Mainly Adventure/gen, with a dash of luminerik

Fic title idea (given what day this is being posted): Earth, Wind, and Fire

Premise: The fic is set in an Erdrea that has properties of the ATLA universe, mainly bending abilities and the hybrid animals. Yggdrasil is still a giant tree, but in this universe would also serve the dual purpose of being the main gateway into the spirit world.

In this universe, Yggdrasil didn’t quite get to pick who would become the next avatar. I wanted to do something with Harmonic Convergence, but it doesn’t quite work the way I need it to for my purposes. Add it to the drawing board, Alfred!

Mordegon would be human in this. He is Carnelian’s trusted advisor, and therefore, whispers in Carnelian’s ear that the rebirth of the avatar would only cause unnecessary trouble for a world that has been surviving fine without one for 10,000 years. Mordy convinces Carnelian to nearly murder a toddler but in canon fashion said bab ends up in a river for an indefinite amount of time and gets adopted by a rustic village community in the very country that intends to kill him. Great.

All of that being said… who is this avatar, anyway?

Eleven

Up until he was 16 and completed his village’s traditional rite into adulthood, El had believed he was like all the other kids. Waterbending comes as easily to him as breathing, and he uses it often, though mostly to play pranks on others.

Personality

I’ve looked at Aang and Korra and while both of them are very different avatars, they both have an excitable energy that I just adore. I will take that and inject it into my protagonist, thank you very much.

In a bold departure from meek or even level-headed Eleven, I want to emphasize his mischievous side, the side that stole Dunstan’s joke book as a kid and caused trouble for the other villagers. He has a strong moral compass, is self-assured, and likes to try new things. Maybe he even brags a little bit!

Abilities

He’s a casual waterbender user, but talented enough to still be pretty powerful with it.

El hasn’t used the other elements in a very long time. I say that because I feel like he’d had the ability to use all of them as a child, but Chalky deterred him because he knew to reveal that El was the avatar would be… a very problematic situation. Unlike the rest of the villagers who live in relative peace and ignorance, Chalky is more privy to the dangers of the world and decides to encourage El to stick to one type of bending to keep his identity a secret. Maybe El slips up sometimes, but who cares all that much?

Idk. I’m not sure I’m keeping any of that last paragraph. But as a child, adults tell you stuff all the time and you just believe them, so I can imagine Chalky sitting El down and saying, “You have to pick one element.”

The other characters (speedrun):

Gemma: Firebender (let the girl do things please for the love of Yggie)

Erik — No bending, knives, boomerangs, swords

Veronica — Earthbender

Serena — Waterbender

Sylvando — Airbender! (this fic’s version of a Kyoshi warrior, disguised as a woman when they first meet him, goes by Sylv, genderfluid) — fights with a fan

Jade — Firebender

Rab — Airbender (Later revealed to be the Air Bison the North)

Jasper — Firebender

Hendrik — No bending, shield, greatsword

Worldbuilding

I'm not going to get in-depth. It'd be... a lot. So, I'll just cover which elements are where. No country is distinctly a specific element (there is no named fire nation here), but some areas are going to be heavier on one element than another.

Heliodor: Mostly firebending, with touches of earth and water, particularly in villages like Cobblestone with a lot of waterfalls.

Gallopolis: Earth and airbending.

Octagonia: Mostly earth bending/no bending.

Sniflheim, Gondolia, Puerto Valor, Lonalulu: Waterbending.

Hotto: Firebending.

Phnom Nonh: Earthbending and firebending.

Arboria and Angri-La: Mostly airbending.

Girl’s Medal Academy: Everything, though it’s not the main focus of the school.

Plot

I initially wanted to take the video game plot and mix it with story beats from ATLA to create a blended disaster, but I was having trouble determining how to do that, so I put it on the backburner.

I know I want to do something with the spirit world and Yggdrasil’s seedlings. I know I wanted to include stakes where countries go to war or there’s some sort of overarching political… thing. Along with action scenes, waaaay more worldbuilding for Erdrea, and character dynamics that are more than just, “I joined your team and support you now!” We need a Toph in this fic! We need kids who don’t know what the heck they’re doing and get at each other’s throats sometimes!

I don’t want the reader to open up the fic and know immediately what’s coming, which indicates to me the fic needs a whole renovation, one with a plot made from my own brain. Because I don’t want the fic to just be, “Eleven went to Heliodor. He got thrown into the dungeon. He met Erik and they ran into a dragon then they jumped off a cliff.” That’s completely valid to write with new spice, but I would like to conjure up something different!

But I keep getting stuck at the beginning! It’s like trying to wade into a thornbush. You don’t. You just walk up to it and it’s all in your face and you just give up before even trying to untangle it, lol.

So for right now…

The Inn

Rated: E. Smut and more smut.

Pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Reader.

There’s an inn. The ale is good. The innkeeper is even better.

My first Geralt fic

Cross posted to Ao3

Geralt is getting tired. It’s been almost 2 weeks since he left the last town, and he figures he must have taken the wrong fork in the off beaten path he was following because he’s really seems to be in the middle of nowhere. There hasn’t been so much as a trading post. His provisions are starting to run low. There’s been hardly anything in sight to hunt. And it’s rare now to find a part of the world that he hasn’t been in.

So he’s relieved to say the least when he spots the tops of thatched roofs and the curl of chimney smoke through the trees ahead. Night is falling. Mostly everyone has gone in so there’s fewer people than usual to glare at him as he passes,  and luckily there’s a sign for the inn off the main road dividing the town. Gods he hopes they have decent ale.

The ale is in fact better than decent. Strong, honeyed just slightly. He would never expect to find something half so good in a dreary little place like this. He’s having some roasted goat as well which is equally satisfying.

“Give my compliments to the innkeep; it’s been a long time since I’ve had food and drink so good,” he says when you come to fill his mug for the third time.

“Give them yourself,” you return slyly, “you’re looking at her.”

Geralt raises a brow; studying you as he does so.

“Well, then you have a quality establishment here,” he replies tipping his head.

“Thank you Ser,” you say with a small grin, and Geralt scoffs and smiles.

“I’m no Ser,” he returns simply, correcting you.

“No, but do Witchers not slay monsters as knights may?” You tease. 

“Knights slay monsters for honor and valor; Witchers slay monsters for money,” he clarifies, quaffing more ale.

“Money or no,” you hum, “anyone who slays monsters is a Ser to me." 

Geralt sets his mug down, tongue running out along his lip to catch a stray drop of ale.

"Will you be wanting a room for the night?” You ask before he can respond to your previous statement.

“Yes, and have a bath drawn for me.”

“Of course Ser,” you smirk as you walk away, and Geralt lets his gaze linger on your retreating form before turning it back to the fireplace.

When he retires to his room, the bath is waiting, warm and scented faintly of pine. He sinks into it with a sigh. Tries to focus on washing but his mind drifts, wonders if you would taste honeyed like the ale, want settling beneath his skin.

He’s toweling off when you knock at his door. 

“Yes?” Geralt questions gruffly pulling open the door.  Water clinging to his collarbone and the lines of his chest. Damp hair is still down, hanging freely around his face. Towel low on his hips.

“I wanted to make sure the room is to your liking,” You say evenly but Geralt catches the brief flick of your gaze over him and the desire lingering at the edge of your scent.

His amber eyes weigh heavily on you. You flush hot beneath their study.

“It is,” he replies neutrally, but the corners of his lips turn just so.

“Good,” you return, lowering your lashes.

“Yes,” he hums, resting his forearm against the doorframe next to his head, shifting closer, “If you’re looking to spend the night with a knight, I would advise you to look elsewhere.” He rumbles.

“Good thing I was looking to spend the night with a Witcher,” you reply, raising your gaze to his. The tension palpable.

Broken by Geralt moments later, hand coming to rest beneath your chin, tipping your lips up as you both meet halfway, his mouth sure and full but still more gentle than you would expect against yours and when you both break away with pupils wide and  dark, Geralt pulls you with strong hands into the room.

Boxes you in against the back of the door as soon as its shut, eagerly recapturing your mouth, seeking more to learn the taste of you as your hands move to explore carefully defined lines of muscle, solid beneath your questioning finger tips.

His tongue sweeps along your bottom lip and you open for him, both groaning at the curl of his tongue against yours, and the sound of him vibrates along the length of your spine as his hand moves to the back of your neck, licking into the delicate flavor of you–honey and spice just like he thought, better than he could have imagined.

A thick thigh slips between yours, presses promisingly against you. He moves to trace the line of your throat, stubble scraping your skin, and you shift against his thigh when his lips find the most sensitive part of your neck.

Gods, Geralt can smell how wet you are already and its driving him to the edge of reason, has him dropping to his knees and sliding up your dress after a moment of silent permission, nosing his way up your thighs until he’s pressing the flat of his tongue against your soaked center and your mouth is dropping open with a wrecked kind of oh.

Drags his tongue through your folds slowly, carefully, taking his time, getting full of you and when your knees are close to giving out he simply pulls away, picks you up by the waist and slides you up the wall until you’re legs are draped over his broad shoulders; holds you there, your head thudding back against the door as his tongue dips back into you, your fingers lacing through the white of his hair, groans when your fingers tighten in it and you grind against his face. Finally takes pity on you and drags his tongue up to where you need it most, licking and sucking small firm strokes, granting you your release–back curving away from the door, thighs locking deliciously around his head, if he suffocated it would be the sweetest death he could hope for, and the desperate gasps of your pleasure as you come on his lips. 

Golden eyes gleaming dangerously up at you while he continues to languidly lap at your release, sharp on his tongue. He withdraws only when you’re trembling with overstimulation and places a lingering kiss against your cunt.

You finally let your legs fall from his shoulders, but he doesn’t let your feet touch the floor–scoops you up instead and carries you to the bed. Deft hands undoing the laces of your dress and pressing you back against the pillows once it’s gone.

Captures a nipple in his mouth while teasing two thick fingers into you.

“Fuck,” he curses, finding you tighter than expected, stroking and stretching you, continues to lick and kiss your breasts until you’re panting and he adds a third finger, crooks them together, watches your eyes flutter.

“Want you,” you sigh lowly.

“You’re sure?” Geralt returns because you’re still tight just around his three fingers.

“Yes,” you say, drawing him up for a kiss, fingers trailing down his chest, his stomach, then slipping into where the towel is knotted. It comes apart with little resistance.

You wrap your hand lightly around his length, testing its weight, thumbing through the fluid pearling at the tip and he rumbles a deep sigh against your mouth before positioning himself over you.

He pushes in slowly, letting you adjust to the thickness of him, both breathless by the time he’s fully seated, and he pauses gritting his teeth, before giving an experimental roll of his hips. So good, you can only moan at the stretch of him, hands sliding up his shoulders, willing yourself to relax, hooking a leg around his hip and he sets an easy, unhurried pace. And when you start rocking your hips in time with his, he slips an arm around your waist, lifting you half suspended by a few inches, bringing you closer and you cling to him, hands settling in the expanse between his shoulder blades while he remains propped up on one arm like its nothing.

The change in angle sparks stars behind your eyes with every brush of the full tip of his cock against that spot within you. Geralt snaps his hips harder and the stars quickly all fade together, merging into a halo of white as you come, falling apart in his arms with a high keen, head falling back, mouth falling open, nails raking your pleasure along his back. The arm around your waist tightens as he finds his own release in the clench of your walls around him, buries his face against the crook of your neck with a low, gruff noise. Stays there for a few moments, savoring it.

He lowers you back to the bed and hands you the towel to clean what’s left of him trickling down your thigh.   “So that’s it then?” He questions mildly when you reach for your discarded dress.

You pause, looking at him stretched out on the bed, arms folded behind his head, expression unreadable.

“You don’t seem like the type to want company,” you say carefully.

“We’re often more than we seem,” Geralt replies, tells himself that’s the closest he’s going to get to asking you to stay and prays you’ll take the hint.

He’s more relieved than he would like to admit when you move to be beneath the blanket with him, sidling in close to his large frame. He reaches over, extinguishing the candles and sleeps better than he has  in a long time.

The sun isn’t even up yet when he feels you stretch and stir. He rolls onto his side in his half sleep to wrap an arm around you, trapping you against him. His length hard against the curve of your ass.

“I have to get up,” you protest softly.

Geralt inhales the scent of your hair and pulls you closer. He rarely has the luxury of waking up to warmth and a woman who isn’t paid.

“I have to go down and start preparing for the morning meal,” you continue, but you’re already wet at the thought of having him within you again.

“They’ll survive,” he says after a long breath.

“What about having a ‘quality establishment’ and all of that?” You reply, teasing him.

He hums in thought, hand trailing down your side.

“You can go back to having a quality establishment when I’m done with you,” voice low and promising as he brushes a knuckle through your folds, finding you soaked already.

Your breath catches as he lifts your leg, twining it with his and entering you in one, fluid thrust, fitting like a glove now after last night. Presses kisses along your neck and shoulder while he fucks you almost lazily–nice, slow, deep drags of his cock. A large hand toying with one of your breasts, and then the other. And his cock is so full, fills you so well, that familiar tingle is already starting in your spine. Just keeps fucking you like that and runs his hand down between your legs, rough fingertips rubbing careful circles against your clit and you come like that only moments later, sighing and shuddering against him and he finishes in a few, sharp thrusts.

Stays within you.

“You wouldn’t happen to know of any monsters around that need slaying would  you?” He asks because he wouldn’t mind a few days of this. Mind wandering to another life where he isn’t a Witcher and he could stay; help you run the inn and brew the ale. You could get rid of the witless stable boy who took Roach last night. He feels empty.

“No monsters around that I’ve heard of.”

The emptiness expands. He finally rolls away from you, onto his back. Thinks of where he’ll go next, but he doesn’t forget. And if he happens to return every few years as his travels allow, he can at least say it’s for the ale.

Chapter 1: And We Must Be Brave

Sunrise in Ethernia was always a sight to behold, bringing out the beauty of the land. Even the Horde infested Fright Zone looked nice at this time of day. The Kingdom of Snows sparkled like a diamond, the rays of the sun making the ice shine. The flowers in Plumeria reach up to soak in the light, opening up their petals and showing off their color. Salinaes' waters began to twinkle in the light as they kept hitting the city walls. Shadows stretched over Dryl, the sun showing off the kingdom's grand architecture. The hidden kingdom of Mystacor danced in the sky, floating in place as the sun came up and passed them. None of these places compared to Bright Moon at sunrise. every nook and cranny came alive with energy and life, glimmering with hope for all to see. 

Which did not include Adora, who was currently fast asleep. 

She began squirming around, trying to grab something without waking up. Unfortunately, she squirmed around too much and fell out of her bed and onto the floor.

"Urg..." Adora regretfully opened up her eyes, groaning and moaning as she tried to get a sense of her surroundings. Hadn't she gotten over the whole 'falling out of the very tall bed thing' already? According to today, apparently not.

"Oh, I didn't think it could get worse..." she slowly stood up and began stretching, trying to lessen the aches running up and down her. That last fight with Catra really put her through the ringer, even putting aside the whole realty-crumbling-as-far-as-the-eye-can-see fact. Falling onto the floor only aggravated those pains. A hot bath was certainly in order, especially if the First Ones wanted to go over more physical combat skills with She-Ra later on.

Adora let out a huge yawn before she felt her a couple of her bones pop. Going back to sleep now was pointless since the sun was up. She'd only get a few more moments before Bow came in telling her not to sleep the day away, followed up by Glimmer teleporting onto her bed and yanking the sheets off.

"Morning, Adora."

"Morning, Glimmer. Good to see you– what are you doing in here?"

Adora rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't imagining things. There Glimmer was, sitting on the window seat, looking over Bright Moon.

"Oh, you know," Glimmer shrugged. "Just... thinking."

"What kind of thinking?" Adora plopped down on the other side of the window seat.

"Just normal thinking about normal stuff."

"Right, normal thinking. Not processing-what-just-happened thinking."

"Totally not that!" Glimmer's voice cracked on the last word.The two sat in silence, watching what remained of the sunrise.

"You know," Adora began, "if you wanna talk about it, I'm here to listen."

"Not really," Glimmer pulled her legs to her chest.

"You sure?" Adora asked, trying to push the envelope as much as she could.

"I'm sure... I don't wanna think about it unless I have to."

"Got it..." Adora clicked her tongue. She shuffled around a little, the air heavy with unspoken words. It's not like Adora could blame Glimmer. Even if Angelica was alive, she was sealed away. Sure, Etheria was safe from being ripped apart by space-time itself, but nothing felt right. It had barely been a day and the lack of one prominent face was already very noticeable. While Adora had never had a good mother, she couldn't help but think about how heartbroken Glimmer must be.

Hopefully she would open up soon.

And yet, dozens of dimensions away, another planet dealt with a less disastrous situation. Most specifically at New York... on a young girl's house. Makena's.

"Make yourselves at home!" Makena smiled at her two guests, Georgine and Utopix, while trying to unlock the door. 

"Oh, this'll be fun!" Utopix excitedly waited by Georgine's side, who kept him close at all times. It hadn't been weeks since she decided to confess her love to him by printing her lips on his... yet she decided to protect him with such ferocity and valor. 

"Why, hello!" Gabriel greeted the two lovebirds, leaning near Oliver's grumpy self.

"Hello, guys!" Utopix immediately reacted at his interaction by happily waving at him, unlike Georgine who glanced away at the discomfort of noticing Oliver there. Not that she cared, but she'd rather not deal with it right now.

"Oh, shoot..." she spoke out like a curse. 

Hours have passed and Georgine had explained the uncomfortable situation that Utopix and her had to face earlier that week: a doppelgänger barging in her house and intimidating Utopix... letting him know of his existence. 

"A doppelgänger?" Makena asked in concern.

"Yeah... We saw him a few days ago," Georgine replied, keeping her head low.

"What did he look like?" Makena added another question as she handed her a pencil and a blank piece of paper for her to sketch the stranger's face. She knew that such ability was one of Georgine's skills, so it'd be easy for her to try and replicate the unwanted individual's features. It wasn't that hard to remember it either. She had checked Uto's, as she called him, video log to understand what had happened that night. 

"Kinda like Uto, but his hair was..." Georgine allowed the pencil to do the work for her.

After she was done sketching, she allowed her body to rest against the chair she was sitting on. Makena's hand rested on Georgine's shoulders as she contemplated the illustration. 

"Oh." Makena didn't know what else to expect. The illustration looked quite like Utopix, just a tad bit different.

"Every good villain needs a name!" Gabriel interfered into their conversation as he prepared a chess board to keep Oliver entertained. "What about 'Otu'?" Gabriel's imagination run wild as the doppelgänger-needs-to-kill-the-hero situation was placed upon him. It bothered Georgine at times, but for once she'd let it pass.

"I guess so..." she said, holding the illustration near her face. "Takara must have sent him to take us off guard." Georgine assumed. "'Otu' managed to turn off Sabrina..." she added.

"That's awful..." Makena's concern instantly invaded her once more. "I-Is she okay? Oliver can fix her!!"

"Enlighten me," Georgine held Sabrina's... body up which was covered by a blanket which easily slipped off.

Oliver immediately analyzed the problem and decided to reveal his diagnosis. "If she's turned off, then she'll eventually turn back on. We can't force it." 

Utopix's curiosity jumped at his words. "How do you know that?" It's not that he was amused that a foreigner knew basic Sardkenofian technology. It was the fact that he quickly came to a conclusion without hesitating... why? Oliver nearly stuttered, his head trying to come up with an excuse to satisfy the robot's curiosity.

"Checkmate!" Gabriel shouted; easily winning the chess game that Oliver barely paid attention to. 

"Let's just get to fight practice already." Georgine merely seemed to suggest.

Once they were all at the bluntly painted basement, Georgine began wrapping some sport tape around her knuckles. 

"Tsk... Mine is a lot better," Oliver commented on Makena's basement, as if there was supposed to be something more than just that.

"Lil' brat." Georgine shook her head as a mere reaction. "Either way, just watch and learn for now."

Makena giggled at their interaction, attracting her sweet kitten Smokey who simply posed by her. "Aww, Smokey..." she caressed him, attempting to make him sleepy.

But miles above the sky, that intimidating doppelgänger was being submitted to horrid punishment. His skin barely holding itself together after the many punches and slaps that Takara exposed him to. His target of destroying Utopix Alle Jones had been consumed by the slightest feeling in his non-existent heart. But he hadn't shown any sign of it when he paid him a visit, so what was really going on?

"I gave you a target and you failed miserably, 36." Takara angrily spoke to "Otu", a.k.a. as Experiment 36, merely giving the idea that she had tried this sort-of thing before. "Hit it." Takara ordered Blu, her other henchman, to activate the oh-so-painful electricity that ran across Otu's body mercilessly. "I hope that you don't disappoint me again," her voice delivering a statement and a threat.

"Ma'am... It seems that the squad has moved location." Blu pointed out as he observed the main screen.

"Where are they right now?"

"Ameritania Hotel."

"Okay, 36." Takara glanced at him, who was trying his best to recover from such treatment. "This'll be your chance to prove that you're not useless," she said, assigning him his next mission. "Make sure Uto suffers." Her usage of Georgine's nickname for Utopix in Otu's ears made him tremble, fully engaging into his armor.

The gang, unbothered by any of the events that had happened during that week, decided to sneak in one of the bedrooms at Ameritania Hotel, one of the most prestigious hotels in New York. They didn't complain... Georgine had done some very sketchy in the past: breaking into cars of her friends' exes, graffiting a bully's garage door, among other things.

"How come that they let us in?" Utopix watched the rain slipping down the window's glass.

"The receptionist's a friend of mine." Georgine replied, as if their presence wasn't a problem that could said person fired.

"Oh, that's cool!" Utopix united to the unbothered feeling that the others were in. 

"So, why are we here exactly?"

"You kidding? Free food!" Gabriel cheered up, as Oliver was munching on a couple of chips from a big bowl.

Suddenly, a lightning stroke in the sky, catching Utopix's attention but also making him flinch. Georgine found it adorable. She'd assume that Sardkenof had a climate similar to Earth's, but it seemed that he was mostly bothered by the sound than anything else. 

"It happens when it rains," she simply commented on it, placing a hand on his shoulder for reassurance.

"Well, it's horrible..." Utopix caressed his other arm in discomfort, despite feeling Georgine's.

"It doesn't have to be if you don't want it to." Georgine's fingers gently brushed his hand, meaning to intertwine said fingers with his. 

"You look so adorable together!" Makena's head popped from underneath the sheets she was hiding in. 

"Oh, shut up. We were too." Georgine objected, recalling the time that they used to share said feelings back in their youth.

"Earthlings date the same gender?" Utopix learned something new from their culture, to say the least.

"Yeah, but some are picky about it." Georgine added to said information.

But their heartfelt moment was interrupted by a blurry dark maroon sight from the other side of the window. "Uh, guys... Is that who I think it is?" Gabriel commented on it.

"Oh no..." Georgine instinctively placed her arm in front of Utopix, despite the other not having entered the building yet.

How horrid was it for Utopix to be able to contemplate Otu's smirk from afar, letting him know that something was going to be wrong, that something was going to happen. Either to him, or his new friends. As if called by a cue, Utopix's arms were wrapped around Georgine's chest to stop her from any sudden movement. 

"Goddamn it. It's that punk again!" Georgine leaned against the window, bringing Utopix forward with her. 

Makena's motherly nature kicked in. "Georgie, language!"

Takara thought that she had them all under her grasp, that she'd finally be crowned victorious after many weeks of wanting to eliminate what was, supposedly, left of the Jones family. But not just yet. Before Oliver could create any plan of defense, a big blast of lightning had hit the sky once again, making Utopix flinch yet again and refuge on Georgine's strong arms. 

And suddenly... silence. 

The gang took a better look at the sky from the window. Four of them knew what New York's weather was like, and it clearly wasn't like that. Seconds later, a minuscule purple light appeared on the center of gray cloudy sky, obliterating every piece of darkness 'round every corner in seconds. 

"What in the name of the sweet heck is that!?" Gabriel shouted in both fear and excitement. 

Oliver quickly jumped to a conclusion. Again. "It's a wormhole... A portal! Get out of here! Now!" He pressed a button on his smart watch; equipping Makena, Gabriel and Georgine with special gear that they had grabbed beforehand.

Georgine immediately scooped Utopix in her arms, running downstairs and to the hotel's entrance. As they joined the sea of people evacuating the hotel, the bright light shone brighter, vacuuming everything on its way. Cars, signs, trees... even people.

"Makena!" Georgine shouted in desperation, witnessing how her friends were lifted up into the sky and disappearing into the hole in the sky. Her feet meant to stick to the ground to the best of her ability, but a fire hydrant had prevented her from doing so. 

"W-Where are we going!?" Utopix's eyes were closed, his hands gripped onto Georgine's back whenever he felt their weight being lighted. His eyes shredding tears, fearing what might happen next. 

"Just... close your eyes." Georgine, out of options, embraced him closely as their bodies entered the purple-esque portal.

Otu observed in shock, until a dreadful voice in his communicator snapped him back to reality. "Well!? What are you waiting for, 36? Follow them!" Takara demanded from him, meaning to sacrifice him if it meant that the others had been obliterated by whatever there was in that portal. Hesitantly, but firmly, Otu rocketed from the roof he was standing on and onto the remaining waves of the terrifying portal. 

And just like that, the portal was closed. As if someone had pulled a switch and turned it off... or more likely, a sword.

The tan-haired girl had waited for a light... a soft voice that'd wake her up saying 'Welcome to Heaven', or anything at all. Instead, her eyes had opened to a soft colored sky. Gentle chirps and water waves made her realize that she was somewhere else. A pair of blinks helped her double-vision adjust to a strange one-eyed creature that shouted once it notice that she was conscious to which she yelled and slapped it off, making it run off to the purple-tainted trees. "W-What is...?" her hands felt the sharp glass around her but also alerted her of something else. "Utopix... Uto! UTO!"

"G-Georgie!" Utopix's frighted voice cried out from one of the trees, holding onto one of its branches for dear life. "H-Help..."

"It's okay, baby. Just let go," her arms were open-wide to catch him in case he fell.

Utopix's eyes widened at the idea and immediately shook his head in disapproval. "H-Hmm!"

"It's okay, sweetie. I'll catch you, I promise." 

"G-Georg-AH!!" 

Without any more words escaping from his mouth, the branch decided to break. Thankfully, his loved one had catch him perfectly, avoiding any accidents. "Are you okay, lovely?" Her emerald eyes stared into his with an expression of I-told-you-so, nearly smirking at his reaction. 

"D-Don't do that..." 

"Do what? Hmm?" Her nose ran up his sensitive neck, occasionally peppering it with gentle kisses, making him giggle as a soft tone of green appeared on his cheeks. 

"Utopix? Georgine?" Oliver grunted as he massaged his head from the rough landing. "W-What? Where are we?"

"OLIVER!" Gabriel ran up to him, hugging his sides, not wanting to let go. "I thought you were dead! I thought I was dead!"

"What the- uh! Let go of me!"

"Never!"

Georgine snickered at their somewhat-sweet reunion, placing Utopix to a side as she helped Makena get up from the strangely colored grass. "Are you okay?"

"Y-Yes... Where are we?"

"I have no idea," she clenched her fists as she observed the unntreathening space. "We better get moving." 

Once again, Georgine scooped Utopix from the ground, keeping him close to her warm chest. "Sorry, I should've asked."

"N-No. It's okay. I-I like it."

Her voice lowly hummed, turning into a chuckle. Her face leaned once again near his, planting a kiss on his triangle-painted cheek. Once she started walking, the others followed closed by... not noticing who had followed them.

"36. State your location," Takara's face appeared on Otu's wrist communicator.

"Unknown." Otu quietly spoke. Probably one of the few times he was allowed to do so.

"If you survived, then that means they did too! Follow them and wait for instructions. Is that clear?" 

Otu took a deep breath. Despite being born a few days ago, his opinion of Takara had quickly worsened with time. "Yes." He immediately ended their interaction, making sure to go unnoticed  as he sneaked around the shadows of the forest.

Eventually, the five individuals reached the entrance of the gorgeous golden castle, unsure of what to expect. "Halt there!" General Juliet stopped them from going any further. "What is your business in Bright Moon?"

"Bright Moon?" Georgine concluded that that's where they have ended up at.

"We just want to know what's going on," Makena kindly asked. "I don't think we're supposed to be here."

"Think!?" The guard seemed to nearly fly away when she flinched. "What is that even supposed to-?" 

"Calm down, general." A shadowy figure approached the entrance, but didn't seem to change any of its appearance once it stepped into the light... Shadow Weaver. "I'll take it from here. You go fetch... Princess Glimmer." The general left after letting out a long sigh and doing as she was told. "I don't take orders from you. I shall look for Bow who can look for Glimmer with more ease." Shadow Weaver rolled her eyes upon her statement.

Georgine's trust pattern was instantly altered upon Shadow Weaver's attitude. The way she spoke, the manner of her walking, how her hair swung around like a sharpen knife... she had seen it all before. Her hands gently gripped Utopix's thigh and arm... once he felt it, he looked up at her, then at Shadow Weaver. A similar pattern had fallen onto him as well... oh, brother. 

"I apologize for the unfelt welcoming, though I must ask... what brings you here so unexpectedly?" her dark eyes narrowed at that last word."I think we'll wait for the princess' arrival to discuss that matter," Georgine refrained from answering the question. Her hands kept Utopix even closer to her than ever.

"Very well, then. I suggest you wait in the throne room unless you wanna be seen by... unexpected guests." Shadow Weaver turned around, leaving them to their amusement. 

Unexpected guests? Georgine then considered that there might have been something else in that region even worse than her... Not liked she trusted the other's jurisdiction, but she'd want to avoid any casualties for Utopix's sake, so she entered the palace after the others had gone in.

"Oh. My. Gosh." Bow nearly jumped on his toes as General Juliet gave him the news. "New people!? L-Like- what? Horde soldiers? Princesses?" he then gasped as an epiphany hit him. "What if they're here from a broken dimension and want to take our souls!?"

"Bow! Just go find the princess, please! Once we know what's going on with... them, I'll decide what to do."

"Okay!" he then stopped his tracks and turned around to see her. "...why are you making me get Glimmer and not you?"

"Just GO!" Juliet seemed to nearly spit fire at him.

After Bow finally snapped from his fanboying illusions, he breathed deeply before entering Glimmer's room, noticing Adora and Glimmer standing near each other... and rightfully so. 

"Uh, guys...  there's some people here that I think you may want to meet."

Hey you lovely Simmers! It is time for our new Spotlight of the Month. Please give a warm welcome to MLys aka @mlyssimblr​. 😊

Hello!

I’m MLys, I’m a 27 years old French simmer and I’ve been sharing maxis match custom content for The Sims 4 for three years.

I’ve discovered the game with The Sims 1 back when I was 9 and I immediately fell in love. I still remember when I’ve unwrapped the base game and Vacation EP at Christmas! Thereafter, I’ve been a huge Sims 2 player (gameplay wise it’s still my favorite of the franchise), skipped The Sims 3, and out of curiosity and nostalgia, came back to the game with The Sims 4 without a lot of expectations. I just wanted to play time to time in my corner, mostly as a builder, and didn’t have any intention to start a blog and create CC.

The need of creating my own custom content quickly came up because I felt frustrated to not find the items I needed to design my builds the way I imagined them. I already downloaded CC as a kid, and was sooo obsessed about it back then! I ingeniously wished I could be able to do the same and run my own sims download website, but it wasn’t easy to find proper tutorials in French (and I most likely wasn’t mature and skilled enough ahah) so I had no idea how all those things worked. I just accepted that it was some computer magic. Several years and more experience later, that sweet memory contributed to make me want to give it a try and take my revenge!

Into the Simverse!

Pic: Exhibition set (Part 1)

My Exhibition set, specially made for the museum I was building, was the first CC I completed and shared on my blog. The set was very simple, but it was already foreshadowing what I would particularly love to do ever since: trying to expand the lore of the Simverse! As it can be deduced from this set, I was very inspired by the creative @femmeonamission’s Great Art Serie and the principle of only using resources from the game. Simlish fonts weren’t enough, I wanted to embrace the fact that the Sims live in a similar but alternative world to ours, with its own peculiarities and silly historical background.

Pic: Sim’Pop culture Tucked-in Tee

I’ve started to become a build mode catalog and Sims Wiki nerd, trying to collect Sim cultural references from all the games and brainstorm head canons that I could exploit for my builds backstories and CC design. I just need a consistent universe!!

I loved to imagine swatches for my tucked tee, which illustrates that approach pretty well. The TS4 concept artists have created so many cute and creative little gems in the game that need a second life, like the base game paintings and the movies from the Movie Hangout SP.

An other example is of course my baby Pufferhead Stuff, that was initially supposed to be a tiny set inspired by a base game poster, but that ended up being a liiiiittle bit more ambitious, whoops. I spent an outrageous time working on all the details I could think about to make the pack cohesive and refer to Harry Potter without losing the maxis match spirit. I am so so touched when I see simmers considering some elements from Pufferhead as canon in their game! During the process, I genuinely thought that I spent a useless time on things that most simmers would barely pay attention to, such as the Harnock sorting test, so it was really rewarding to discover that people actually appreciated the effort!

(If you like Simverse headcanon CC, my simblr crush @bottsbotts​ had also made a very creative set inspired by base game posters!)

We do love collaborations

The second part of the Exhibition set that I’ve made with @aroundthesims has a very special spot in my heart. I’ve been a big fan of Sandy’s work since day 1, and downloaded everything she did. When I’ve started to share CC, I needed to fangirl in her DM to tell her how she inspired me. It must sound silly, but when she proposed to collaborate, I felt so crazy happy and proud! If mini-MLys playing sims in her bedroom full of dolphin and HP posters had heard about that, her brain would have been like “Can’t… compute…”

I can’t introduce myself either without talking about my friends from The @Plumbobteasociety!  They’re the first friends I’ve ever made online and I love them (I’ve even met some irl!). Working on Cottage Garden Stuff with them was a blast. There was a real team spirit and it definitely made me progress. Never I would have been able to work by myself on Pufferhead without the Cottage Garden experience and without their support!

Pic: Cottage Garden Stuff pack / Screenshot features items by @magnolianfarewell @femmeonamissionsims @teanmoon @nolan-sims @litttlecakes @simlaughlove and me

There is something very fulfilling in collaborating with someone that got skills that you don’t have, and managing together to create something cool. I had that feeling with those projects, but also with the talented @illogicalsims who accepted to make the render of Pufferhead. It really was out of my current ability and his final render is fully part of the identity of the pack and I’m sure contributed to valorize it, so I can’t thank him enough for that!

Other stuff

“Sorry, I’ve been quite absent recently…”

I update my simblr very irregularly, and my content can be quite random. To be honest I don’t feel like I have produced that much? I really wish I did! I have so much ideas condemned to stay in my notebook forever… RIP. Here are my favorite editing and building projects:

31 years of Simblreen (2017)

The Windenburg Old Town Square

Forever grateful…

…Like for real. I don’t try to be mushy or something. That simblr really helped me at times when I needed it. I definitely have a creative profile, but without a specific goal in mind, I tend to want to do and learn so much things at the same time, that I end up feeling overwhelmed and uninspired, and don’t practice anything. And then I feel frustrated and can’t manage to have a consistent hobby. When I started the blog, I totally underestimated all the various skills it would actually make me work on: 3d modeling, texturing, editing, illustration, storytelling, my English… and even video editing for the Pufferhead trailer! I admit that I haven’t talked about that blog to a lot of my irl friends, because I’m afraid they wouldn’t understand that it’s not “unworthy”. And well, I myself also devalue a lot what I produce in general. I’m working on feeling more confident and share with them all the good memories and touching moments I have from my simming experience! All the adorable support I’ve received here through those last 3 years really really helped for that, and I can’t express how much it means to me <3

Thank you Kerstin for the Spotlight (and aw sorry for the delay) ! Especially for the month of my birthday, such a cute coincidence :)

Thanks for reading, have a great week, and happy simming everyone!

Are Actually E-Sports Really Sports?

Really very competitive personal computer video gaming has been around a long time on the Personal Computer along with specialist Starcraft leagues or perhaps activities for activities like Quake and also Counter-Strike. The Xbox 360 has in fact developed competitive gaming substantially a lot more popular in the last couple of years in addition to the pro-gaming console game Major League Gaming, and even MLG for simple, along with has started to become categorized as a sport by many gamers. Also sporting activities relevant information coverage, like ESPN, have actually gotten right in to this all new style gotten in touch with E-Sports (electronic sports) along with currently handles MLG computer game on their world wide web site and also at times explains it on Sportscenter. However is this concentration validated? Are actually E-Sports undoubtedly sporting activities? The response is no as well as additionally noted here are explanations that this is actually therefore.  Valorant

Deficiency of large innate skill-set gap I assumed I would surely start in addition to this explanation that any sort of kind of players that assume this is the only description for this quick write-up may be settled straight off. I am actually certainly not revealing that I may exceed a Halo 3 player like Tsquared. He is actually much better than me. An absence of organic ability gap indicates that, with devotion, basically any kind of form of gamer can conveniently find yourself being actually a pro at the activity they want to contend in. This is really undoubtedly not fix for every person as effectively as under is actually a case. When I made usage of to play SOCOM II, a friend of mine had more than 2,000 humans resources logged onto the game online. I had a lot less than fifty hrs, but I was actually considerably as well as additionally away a much better gamer than him. I suppose that even with merely exactly how considerably he played, I will have continually been in fact much better. Nevertheless, on the numerous other palm, there are numerous gamers including on my own that are just generally proficient at video activities. I possess a 2.5 K/D percentage on Halo 3, yet I rarely engage in the computer game and execute absolutely not take it quite seriously. I don't also like it. I possess a feeling, having said that, that if I joined 8 hrs a day and even much more with the intent to take it incredibly definitely, I could probably full at the MLG volume. I possess a really feeling a mass of the gamers on Halo 3 that are dedicated to it, could possibly complete at the MLG quantity Esports Events.

This is actually certainly not thus along with sports like hockey, baseball, baseball, also golf or maybe tennis. I made use of to play hockey as a child but regardless of only exactly how a lot I took part in, there is a 99.999% probabilities I will certainly never ever make it right into the NHL. I believe the precise same may be discussed for lots of 1000, possibly likewise many specialist athletes in major sporting tasks. But definitely not pc gaming. You possess an incredibly good option of possessing the capability to compete in the market of pc gaming only through instruction as well as likewise maintaining committed to it.

Possibly I can easily never ever before defeat TSquared however looking at that games conducts not involve physicality, the difference between our team will be only devotion. He is actually a great deal a great deal extra committed than I am actually, along with has actually been for a lengthy option. The expert gaming participates in online video audio video games as his life. I chose a various development pathway. Similar to I definitely would not be in fact as outstanding a forensic private detective as a person that has twenty years knowledge, I certainly will not be actually as excellent a player as TSquared if I completed against him at the second.

There is no browsing include Most of main featuring tasks activities like the NBA, NHL, NFL, as well as likewise MLB, there are slight groups or university level play. This is really merely exactly how gamers create it around the majors, they take part in through university and also after that receive helped make to a group or even play in the smalls, verify on their own, and also are actually spoken to. In E-Sports, there's no smalls. You don't must verify by yourself to battle, you just pay to get in into an occasion. I can not inform you the ton of chances I have checked out a sporting activities video game on TELEVISION to listen closely to a commentator claim the main thing along complimentary throw pipes of 'You're in the Majors, you should possess the capability to create that play' or even a single thing identical. There is actually no state being actually an MLG player, it is actually insignificant. Any individual can effortlessly end up being one at anytime. Today, you could acquire exceptionally trumped if you're no good, yet it's since you're contending at a degree you ought to not be. There is really an explanation when big rank players in MLB are in fact surrendered to the smalls on a rehab project or even the main thing that they control or that a player that could control at triple An or perhaps the AHL for hockey might attract the NHL and even MLB, it is actually a completely different degree of play Esports Events.

E-Sports perform not have amounts of play comparable to this (certain there's the CAL as well as additionally CPL yet it doesn't operate similarly). Either you are really completing and even you're certainly not. I feel to become appeared at a sporting activity, MLG requires to fix this by including a minors where players are actually cultivated arising from to accomplishing in the majors. This will be the only means to participate in the majors is to end up being invited, certainly not merely join as well as likewise paying a price.

An absence of unity or organization There are really a good deal of video gaming organizations offered. There is in fact the MLG, CAL, CPL, GGL, Gamebattles (in reality a department of MLG), Starleagues, and also numerous others, some added legitimate or well-liked than others. Sure there are actually various sporting activities video games, having said that I do not presume anybody is in fact moving to mention that in America there is in fact a volley ball association extra genuine and even popular than the NFL or perhaps a hockey organization extra legit and also preferred than the NHL. Why does not pc games have one authentic video game? Why is it consequently ragged? If it was in fact a correct showing off task, it should have an unity of company. Rather, video games are in fact just individually possessed and also ran which induces loads of various ones. Are actually players in MLG better than a gamer in CPL? Who knows, they are actually various associations together with a variety of activities. I may along with assurance insurance claim players in the NHL are actually much better than players in a European League.

This takes me to one even more variable, the association of E-Sports is actually nothing at all like a sport. There is actually no usual period, there are in fact just activities as well as likewise ladders. Even the organizations that take action to possess times are actually just managing ladders for a specific time-frame and phone it a season. Ladders don't function like periods considering that you may participate in or even leave responsible for a measure ladder at any sort of option. If you go 0-5 on Gamebattles, remove your team as properly as remake it and also you remove your poor begin. Groups don't have the similar wide array of computer game joined. You may test numerous other workers at your wish so you definitely never ever have to take part in a team that you recognize might beat you unless you communicate to the Playoffs. True sports might not be actually like this. There may not be just a handful of tournament-style celebrations throughout the time period Esports Events.

Making it a lot more sports-like Generally, E-Sports leagues appear to come to be utilizing to produce pc games seem to be a sporting activity without in reality creating it right in to one. Like the add-on of teachers in MLG tasks like Gears of War and Halo. That seems to be like a completely ludicrous enhancement to trained pc gaming as well as additionally one that does not also make it a lot additional like a sport. Why does a gamer require a trainer?

To help create video gaming in to a sport, they need to develop business modifications. Let's lug on to use MLG as an instance. A Halo 3 group in MLG need to have to require to be really financed by a business or individual. A sponsor performs certainly not merely spend for quests to Meadowlands as well as deliver you spectacular personal computer gaming gears. That personal necessities to possess the team as well as they make the roster adjustments. If Ogre 1 in addition to Ogre 2 perform certainly not much like Walshy any longer, additionally bad. They carry out not possess a say, the sponsor carries out. Groups should not be actually merely a team of great friends that got together once along with have actually participated in entirely ever prior to because. They ought to be actually sound underpinnings that are actually mosting likely to exist years from today, in addition to our without it's existing player lineup.

They need to carry out a normal period. Rather of visiting a handful of competitors contests or even accomplishing in some net step ladder, the teams linked with the duration are actually developed at the beginning of the amount of time. Bid farewell to can simply staffs join or maybe leave when the amount of time is underway. Hence, routines are really gotten ready for each workers. If you are really organized to take part in a group, you check out that place and also play all of them. Accurate showing off tasks teams as well as likewise players quest a home. It seems players remainder in the property training for the adhering to occasion. You teach in the program of the off-season in a sporting task, and likewise play throughout the period. Why will undoubtedly practical play be secured online when you possess system issues, prospective unfaithful, and also lag? It performs certainly not create really good feeling. As a result there is actually no cause they must certainly not be really journeying around the country to play their observing arranged rival.

Each team will certainly possess the same bunch of games took part in. After the duration ends, playoffs would certainly be actually seeded and also played in the tournament-style tasks like Meadowlands. That should be actually just exactly how playoffs are really done. Promptly it seems they have no importance whatsoever aside coming from obtaining you cash money and also offering you variables Esports Events.

There must in addition be a looking mix. You may certainly not merely up as well as participate in an MLG competitions someday. You are going to certainly must join a various institution as well as likewise compete there surely till you rate with a staff owner to register with an MLG crew. That will surely offer authenticity to the game and also potentially remove a number of yearn for to-be's as effectively as posers because they may not be heading to prefer to complete as well as additionally tour a great deal.

eSports: What Exactly Is It?

Normally, the a large number of computer game that are affiliated along with these competitions include a multiplier aspect as the whole aspect of eSports is in fact to interact with various other players. There are actually a lot of possibilities now delivered that gamers can conveniently play in a great deal of several tournaments and competitors. The trick is actually to join the video game style that you enjoy a lot of or even are actually properly at.

Almost all video game types are really satisfied in eSports and also our firm located that of the absolute most famous designs were actually 1st individual firing (FPS), sporting activity and MMORPGs. Our professionals anticipate much more to be in fact consisted of to this directory in the future.

Presently, eSports are actually generally consumed and also cherished via guys along with 85% of males composing involvement of celebrations. Sector leaders are actually proactively producing an initiative to market girls involvement as well as our provider assume our crew are visiting some advancement on this as our crew breakthrough into 2017. Additionally, the eSports market created ₤ 258 million in 2015 and our business foresee this to be really around ₤ 391 for 2016 which is actually rather outrageous!

Where Can I View eSports? All of it sounds somewhat inducing, performs not it? The sector is forecasted to proceed its very own remarkable development in 2017 as well as also participation mosts likely to a long lasting higher as a result of the media platforms on-call. You can take a look at eSports on numerous different systems as well as world wide web sites. Shiver and YouTube are actually the very the majority of obvious ones with ESPN and Yahoo likewise having their very own specialized eSports locations. Additional website that you may not have really know represent Twitch along with source some terrific web content. These are really Azubu as effectively as MLG hence check each one of them out for some excellent quality eSports flows.

Such is in fact the progression of eSports that standard sporting activities net web sites (our pros utilize ESPN over as a case) are really beginning to fit their details to eSports supporters. This is actually instead amazing along with actually stresses to our company just how genuinely featuring activities disk jockeys are actually taking the eSports organisation.

The Success of LoL

So where conducted LoL develop coming from?! Its reached the eSports world like a tidal wave on Indonesia. I directly have actually played it on as effectively as off provided that beta and also have actually enjoyed it bloom in to this attractive entirely expanded acceptable moba. It has actually been actually no basic street for Riot. There has been actually as a result many threats came to that Riot have in fact seemed to undoubtedly not simply jump over, nonetheless capitalise on and broaden. How performed they execute it? Whats caused LoL's growth?

The extremely early challenge for Riot was actually verse HoN. This competitors I assume has actually emphasised just exactly just how helpful the absolutely free to play recommendation might be. Yet totally complimentary to play is not a brand-new idea and also its own vital to remember just how effectively Riot well balanced it in addition to paid out relevant information. The workable material and likewise paid out web content is in fact therefore carefully tuned that it dangles sufficient over laid-back gamers to keep every one of all of them going as effectively as yearning for even more while committed players normally pay through the noes to acquire whatever they suppose they need to play their ultimate.

The various other portion of the HoN competitors is actually that Riot industried their activity mostly to become as approving of all kinds of gamers as doable, exclusively the lay noob. You can find the tip in charge of HoN was to have an extreme very competitive emphasis, maybe in the ilk of how sc2 was in fact introduced. It in addition consequently attracted a variety of dota players.

Meanwhile Riot was actually noob welcoming, location based as well as additionally had their 'summoners code.' The the real world effects of the, imo, is actually rather unsubstantial. Folks still imitate penis as properly as the areas perspectives etc are somewhat exact same. Having said that individuals obtain it, they strongly believe that their activity has a several standpoint despite whether they execute what they show. Its personal comparable to hipster politics that state "spare the planet man" while suggesting republican.

Issue made a choice to OWN their competitors. Perhaps the premier LoL competition is what LoL on its own owns/promotes/runs ingame. Right now this is actually maybe something undoubtedly never observed merely before in intermittent computer game. Several game programmers to time release a task after that allowed the area maintained it. Snowstorm are one of minority inventors in past times that ever before sustain a game after launch.

Luck is actually a vital factor also specified right here, in a range of locations. The quite initial is actually streaming went big around this instant. sc2 went to and likewise obtained attributes breaking on justin.tv > dork and also own3d. LoL quickly took this up and also Riot maintained it. Scenarios were actually most ideal for Riot to capitalise on reaching their designated viewers in a whole new approach.

Yet another aspect is actually specifically just how fracking aweasomley Riot obtained setting up activity caster capability. Was this an internal decision? Because it has really spent handsomely for each one of them. LoL by itself is actually a technical/descriptive/ in reverse and onward steering wheels wet desire. To simply put, its very own an artists gold goose. Its own like the cricket of eSports.

The 2nd aspect of great fortune has really been actually South Korea and also the change stemming from sc1 to sc2. It couldn't have actually been actually timed better for Riot and I will definitely be astounded to comprehend even more relating to simply how a lot Riot made an effort to make sure LoL in Asia. sc2 surfaced as well as the entire of South Korea were actually adhered within this starcraft hangover rut, it seemed like a sizable economic temperature folding large. sc2 simply will not remove and likewise Koreans went looking for a brand-new video game. That brand-new computer game was in fact LoL.

Therefore on this site our team are in fact, LoL and also riot are really at the leading upper hand of affordable activities, on the precipice of an all new opportunity. They smashed HoN, have really damaged away from the effective activity location and likewise are in fact today in to the eSports enhancing region. Just one trouble rises just before all of all of them as well as its personal dota2.

I am actually attracted as well as additionally thrilled to note precisely just how they handle this issue. The video clip activity motor is actually the next field of battle I assume. Currently LoL possesses a great tranquility in between being actually extremely usable on all computer systems, yet calling for satisfactory to make folks acquire better elements to handle it. So it tempts the proper quantity of promoters to activities.

Garrett’s Reaction to Nintendo’s E3 2018 Presentation

Hello friends! I’ve made no secret about how hyped I was for Nintendo’s E3 presentation this year and so I’ve decided to write down my reactions to each of the games featured. So here we go:

Daemon X Machina: I’m actually really excited for this. I was never super into the Armored Core games (I’m not sure why since I have an unhealthy love for giant robots), but I think this looks rad. It’s like if Armored Core (yes I know people from that are working on this) was given to Platinum (yes I know nobody from that are working on this). I can’t wait!

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country: This looks cool, but I still need to beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2. But as a side note, Nintendo why do you hate the English dub of this game so much? It’s nowhere close to the worst English voice acting you’ve ever done. Do you remember Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn? Do you remember “To wing brothers! Keep up if you can!”? Because I do! And Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is NOT that bad.

Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee: Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to getting the Eevee version but aside from the news about Mew being included in the Pokeball plus, we didn’t learn anything we didn’t already know about these games. This video just served to remind us that the games still existed. Guys, I don’t want to make this whole post be negative, but if you’re going to show us a video for a game we already knew about, it better end with Spider-Man getting beat up by the Sinister Six!

Super Mario Party: I haven’t played a Mario Party game in a very long time (unless the top 100 minigames one counts) but this does look cool. The tank game that requires two Switches makes me nervous as a single player gamer though.

Fire Emblem Three Houses: Okay, here we go! THIS is what I came for! While we’re not given much in the way of story or explanation, the game looks great! Having a player avatar (though I hope he or she is not a silent protagonist) is always welcome, and the having an army at your back had my jaw on the floor. Not to mention, we finally get a female Lord (ten bucks says that’s not her class) who can use axes! I’m just praying the game doesn’t move too far away from the best parts of the last two games. I want my supports and romances!

Fortnite: I have no interest in this game, but I’m happy for the people who were asking for this. Who knows, I might even give it a try. It’s not like it’ll cost me anything.

Indie Games: I’m not super into indie games so I was pretty meh on this segment. I will say that watching the Treehouse play Overcooked 2 later was a lot of fun though.

Octopath Traveler: Dude I LOVED the demo for this game and now you’re telling me there’s another one coming out IN TWO DAYS!? I don’t know what I did to make the developers of this game like me so much, but clearly I need to figure out what it is and then just do it constantly.

Starlink Battle For Atlas: I literally heard about this game for the first time yesterday. I have no idea what it is or what it’s about aside from space battles, but I love me some Star Fox and that’s enough to intrigue me into looking closer.

Arena of Valor: This is another game I’ve never heard of until now. Looks very Diablo-esque which is fine, but not my thing.

Minecraft: I could have sworn this was out for the Switch already. Oh well. Again, not my thing, but I’m happy for those who do like it.

Sushi Striker: Played the demo and I absolutely loved it. I pre-ordered it on May 26 and I’m still waiting for it to start shipping. The things I do for free shipping I tell you...

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Donkey Kong DLC: Yet another game I just realized I need to play more before I get some really cool looking DLC for it, lol.

Pixark: See my reaction to Minecraft above.

Just Dance 2019: ... reeeeeeally not my thing.

Dragonball Fighterz: I’m not a big fighting game fan, but once again, I know there were people waiting for this game to come to Switch and I’m happy for them.

Splatoon 2 Octoling DLC: As someone who loves the lore of Splatoon, this DLC has me tempted to actually get Splatoon 2 while I still don’t need to pay to play online.

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker: Ooooh.. I LOVE Captain Toad. I might need to get this one. Maybe the 3DS version. I prefer that console for games that rely heavily on touch controls.

Crash Bandicoot: Blah blah blah not my thing, blah blah happy for those who like it.

Ninjala: Um... what is this glorious looking thing, and why am I only learning about it now?

Carcassonne: *puts on glasses and gestures to this game as if it were a butterfly* Is this Settlers of Catan?

The rest of this montage except TWEWY and Mario Tennis: I’ll just save us all some time. None of these are my things, but if they are yours, congratulations.

TWEWY: Oh you better believe I’m getting this! I just hope it doesn’t force us into using touch controls.

Mario Tennis: I liked the demo but I didn’t love it (translation: I got my ass kicked online and I’m still sulking). I don’t know if I’ll get the game.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: I’m only a casual fan of Smash, but I can certainly understand the hype for this game. Even I’m salivating at that Ridley trailer. Still, we didn’t need Sakurai to walk us through every single character. That chewed up a lot of time that could have been used for something else.

Overall, while I felt this presentation was the weakest of the big three this year. I still enjoyed it. While I’m disappointed there was no Bayonetta 3 or Metroid Prime 4, we still got plenty of good stuff. Honestly, Fire Emblem was all I needed and I got it. And let’s not forget, Nintendo has a history of announcing new stuff in the days following its E3 Direct. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a weird and wonderful little new IP announced either tomorrow or Thursday.

What did you think of Nintendo’s presentation? Sound off in replies or by reblogging.

Letter from... a sports reading list

You’re really going to do better within the checks, he instructed me. A school classmate list and that I have been discussing What number of unread problems we had of the magazine The Sport Letter 

  We had been invested deeply in the game and the magazine became our window into the world of Steffi Graf and Mohammad Azharuddin, my favorites then. If I had extra unread issues of the mag, it meant I had spent longer analyzing for the tests—and consequently destined for higher results. The other day, brought on via a Fb submit, I truly recollected this conversation, which passed off many years in the past. The post inquiring for pointers for sports books got me thinking: As adults, we equate the summer season with warmness, fatigue, irritation, mangoes, and a loss of appetite. But as children, summer season became a happy time of vacations and game—playing and analyzing about it (mainly, if you grew up in small-city India). inside the olden days, television showed you what befell in matches, However, newspaper and mag articles advised you what happened off the sphere as nicely. I binge examine Sunil Gavaskar’s Sunny Days one summer excursion, interested in having to get entry to a player’s non-public thoughts within the days before sanitized syndicated newspaper columns and Instagram. What makes books on or with the aid of sportspersons or books on the sport itself thrilling? While the rest people mortals are still dealing with homework and what to do all through holidays, pinnacle athletes are already single-mindedly pursuing excellence. Nadia Comaneci, for instance, turned into an Olympic champion in gymnastics at 14. At the same time as the rest people are starting to pick careers or chase promotions, sportspersons are already “retired”. They tour the world, address a large variety of people, endure extra ache and ecstasy and grow up faster than the relaxation of us—Sachin Tendulkar is a working example. Their lives are tales of persistence, determination, and headaches, which can be motivating and heartbreaking and oh-so-real. It takes ardor, and pain, to get to the pinnacle of the sporting global. for instance, whilst jockey Pesi Shroff, who had retired after a protracted, illustrious profession, changed into asked in an interview what he would do next, he said, “devour”. Jockeys have to keep their weight strictly underneath manage, which restricts their food regimen. sports books combine the nice attributes of fiction and non-fiction. I’m a median—and quite gradual—reader. However, the buddy’s post reminded of some books I have examined and hints from different pals allowed me to add to a growing studying wishlist. I am concurrently reading Joe Moran’s Shrinking Violets: The name of the game Life of Shyness, which even though no longer a sports e-book, has a chapter analyzing the reticence of George quality and Bobby Charlton and the way it manifested in their video games. Comaneci’s visit to India currently sparked my interest in Lola Lafon’s The Little Communist Who Never Smiled, which tells (and reimagines) her Life as a younger female in a rustic below a totalitarian authorities, detailing the rigours of a difficult recreation like gymnastics and suggests us how fact can have such a lot of versions. Coincidentally, my last few books have been recreation-associated. Just like the Manchester United footballer’s autobiography, I’m Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that is brutally sincere, as is to be expected. Splendid Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Soccer with the aid of David Winner is an older book that unravels the country’s dominance in the game in the 1970s. Peter Oborne’s Wounded Tiger: A History of Cricket in Pakistan is a terrific nostalgic journey and solutions that eternal question: How did Javed Miandad play under Imran Khan without rebelling? A cinematic e-book is The boys within the Boat by means of Daniel James Brown, that is the proper story of the University of Washington rowing group that won a gold medal at the 1936 Olympics—watched by using Hitler. not fairly, the rights to supply a film have been sold by means of a primary Hollywood studio, consistent with news reports. One of the most pleasing books you’ll find is Andre Agassi’s Open, a sincere, brisk autobiography of a witty and interesting tennis player. Nick Hornby’s plenty-acclaimed memoir Fever Pitch—which has on account that its launch within the early Nineteen Nineties become a classic—gave beginning to a generation of Arsenal fans. The over a decade-old Mumbai marathon has produced a technology of runners, and wannabe runners, in Mumbai as a minimum. I have considered one of them a few years ago and discovered, perpetually, two books which can be maximum recommended. One is the captivating Born to Run: The Hidden Tribe, the Extremely Runners and the Finest Race the arena Has Ever Seen with the aid of Christopher McDougall. I’m reminded of the ebook each time (happened extra than once) I see actor-turned-full-time runner Milind Soman pounding at the chaotic streets of Mumbai on steaming afternoons, walking barefoot. The other is the extra reflective What I Talk approximately After I Talk approximately running by Haruki Murakami. He makes you experience like getting up and setting off for a run proper then, preferably At the same time as persevering with to read. The moment you Google a list of super sports activities books or ask for pointers, some names crop up robotically. Some of them are Moneyball: The Artwork of Winning an Unfair Sport by way of Michael Lewis (no longer examine it, However, I’ve Visible the film); sports activities Gene

: Inside the Technological know-how of Exceptional Athletic Overall performance by means of David Epstein (in ownership, However but to start); and the award-Winning ebook on Muhammed Ali known as King of the world by means of David Remnick. All this research and “Facebooking” has given me a few solid guidelines for the following few months (or years). Those at the moment are introduced to my Amazon/Flipkart wishlists—it does not necessarily imply I can purchase them But permits for the option of getting some as items. They consist of Jon Krakauer’s real tale of an Everest day trip Into Thin Air; A good Stroll Spoiled by John Feinstein on golf; every other award-Triumphing biography Barbarian Days: A Browsing Lifestyles via William Finnegan; and Futebol: The Brazilian Manner of Life by Alex Bellos. Upon a relative’s insistence—she has requested me several times if I’ve examined Those—I’m additionally considering two books on Nike—Shoe Dog: A Memoir by means of the Writer of Nike by way of Phil Knight and Swoosh: Unauthorized story of Nike and the Guys Who Performed There with the aid of J.B. Strasser—and Sneaker Wars: The Enemy Brothers Who Based Adidas and Puma and The Circle of relatives Feud That For all time Modified the Enterprise of sports via Barbara Smit. The flipside of having a digital wishlist, although, is which you add to it recklessly. I have had String Idea: David Foster Wallace on Tennis in my listing for 3 years now—it’s long past so far down that I don’t see it anymore. Frank Brady’s Endgame is gathering dust on our bookshelf—now not deliberately, of direction. I was magnetically pulled towards the e-book—it traces the upward thrust and fall of the enigmatic chess champion Bobby Fischer—after analyzing its review by using Garry Kasparov a few years ago. I can get via them, at some point. What sums up my analyzing is a small, approximately 90-page, the book I purchased in 2012 and also have now not read. It’s referred to as Don’t buy This e-book Now! The Art of Procrastination with the aid of John Perry. However, allow’s live effectively. summer season’s just started—there’s lots of hot wearing motion yet to come. In among that action, maybe a little reading can help inspire—true Life stories of valor can be so much more uplifting than fiction or Wonder Studio releases. Like me, you may make up for the lack of carrying talent with the aid of studying about others who have got an abundance of it. perhaps there are some tips here to get started with. Letter From… Is Mint on Sunday’s antidote to dull editor’s columns. Each week, one of our editors—Sidin Vadukut in London and Arun Janardhan in Mumbai—will ship dispatches on places, people, and establishments that are really worth ruminating approximately at the weekend.
