#i was tempted to do one for heisei rider but that one would be a LOT bitchier

[absolutelyfibulas]

It's the Dutchpinions On Red/Pink post!

Under a cut due to length, this is the result of me struggling to sleep at 3am, and wondering about the potential red/pink pairs possible in post-2000s Sentai.

Behold, my incredibly incorrect (but also completely right and infallible) bad takes!

(Warning: There's spoilers all over the place, because it was kind of hard to avoid in certain cases.)

Timeranger

Canon red/pink and total asspull. They already had Domon and Honami for the star-crossed Can’t Be Together tragic pairing, and Tatsuya/Yuuri seemed to just manifest out of nothingness. It’s like the writers realised they’d forgotten to have the sole woman on the team fulfil what we ALL KNOW THAT SOLE WOMAN’S PURPOSE IS and threw a dart at a wheel of the remaining guys.

Rating: Ugh.

Gaoranger 

Being an inoffensively forgettable series I don’t remember much about the team and their dynamics. I do remember that they have white instead of pink, and that white is way too young for red. 

Rating: No pair up, good call.

Hurricaneger

Doesn’t have a pink, unless you consider Ikkou’s colour pink-adjacent enough to count. In which case it’s a top notch match up. Those boys are in homosexual love. 

If we’re counting “woman on team” as the pink, then it’s Nanami, and I think she and Yousuke would murder each other if they tried dating. So they lose points for that.

Rating: A+ for potential gay. B- for potential murder.

Abaranger

I don’t like pairing any of the adult men in their twenties with the girl still in high school. Obviously red and pink aren’t a thing here, but my point still stands for the canon blue/pink they huffed paint and decided to go with post-canon.

Rating: 

Dekaranger

The red/pink here wouldn’t be awful, I don’t think? But Ban is too Like That, and Umeko has a sweet canon thing with green. They managed to make a complementary colour contrast combo work in a whole other way.

Rating: Not the worst. Which isn’t exactly an endorsement.

Magiranger

Not applicable for obvious reasons. Does get bonus points for the canon last minute pairing being so hilariously stupid (complete with magical shotgun wedding overseen by a catholic cat) that I can’t even hate it.

Rating: Houka’s bi and Tsubasa’s gay and that’s all that matters.

Boukenger

Another canon red/pink. This is one that I personally was completely blindsided by, but have had mutuals tell me that it was built up over time so I have to take their word for it. I actually thought if anyone was getting paired up it’d be yellow/black, which would have been weird on its own given they’re more like siblings. 

I suspect I was just too distracted by pink being an autistic gun lesbian to even remotely consider her having any romantic plot with a dude, and I sure as hell don’t remember her interacting with red for anything non-work related at any given point. God knows what they talk about on that rocket. 

Rating: This is the sentai version of that movie where Jennifer Lawrence is trapped on a starship with Crisp Rat.

Gekiranger

Jan legally can’t date anyone, and there’s no pink. So let’s instead take a minute to think about Mele/Rio, the canon pairing who miraculously made me like a pairing that uses a trope I cannot stand.

Rating: I know they’re off having the most Addams Family Goth romance in the afterlife. I feel it in my bones.

Go-Onger

Everyone on this team is homosexual. The only way red/pink is happening is if Gunpei persuades Hant to engage in roleplay.

Rating: They literally have an entire episode about Sousuke’s tragic summer romance with Kento Handa.

Shinkenger

We did it. We found the milquiest of toasts. He’s a boy, she’s a girl. The only other girl option is 15, so red/pink it is. 

Rating: I don’t think Takeru knows what a girl is.

Goseiger

Another inoffensively forgettable series. I do remember that the red and pink in this are kind of sweet? Like they’re not canon, but I wouldn’t hate it if they were. They actually get to be friends onscreen and are both Cute Chipper 20yos, so sure, go ahead.

Rating: Eh, 's fine.

Gokaiger

I have to admit I never really thought about Marvellous/Ahim romantically at any given point. They’re friends, they’re bros, they have the Sweet Princess Meets Snarky Pirate thing going for them. Not really my bag but sure why not. That said...

As a last minute pairing they would have been annoying as fuck.

Rating: Luka gets REALLY salty for like three months after they get together and no one’s brave enough to bring it up.

Go-Busters

No pink, but also the only girl on the team is Yoko. Refer back to my Abaranger “20yo men dating girls in high school” notes, and consider that they’re siblings, Your Honour.

Rating:

Kyoryuger

Canon red/pink, and the last minuteiest of last minute pair ups. I have legit no idea why they decided they needed a romance in this show. It’s perfectly okay without it and even as someone who doesn’t particularly ship it, Nossan/Candelira is very cute! They didn’t need to add another romance!

Daigo spends the whole thing about as interested in Amy as a concrete brick, and Amy seemed way more concerned with Yayoi in a Not Heterosexual way. 

Rating: Whatever the writers were on, I want no part of it.

ToQger

I don’t really think about shipping for this one (again, for obvious reasons), but I wouldn’t be particularly bothered by the red/pink here having a similar puppy love crush situation to blue/yellow. I’m just not really interested.

Rating: They have better things to do. Like drink apple juice.

Ninninger

Another team rendered Not Applicable. I mean technically it would be legal but it’s. Y’know. Still weird.

Rating: You stop that.

Zyuohger

White instead of pink again. I think these two repel the idea of romance between them so strongly that if they’d got them together the universe would have suffered a minor meltdown and just erased the franchise from existence.

Rating: ????

Kyuuranger

Lucky and Raptor would be a wild pairing, if only for how out of left field it would be. Morbidly fascinating, if nothing else.

Rating:

Lupat

Pairing either red with Tsukasa would be punishable at the Hague.

Rating: 

Ryusoulger

My opinion is going to be biased by the fact I didn’t really buy the team as being particularly close anyway; this series’ red/pink would be…fine. In the way breathing nitrogen with my oxygen is fine. I didn’t ask for it, I don’t particularly want it, but also it’s not going to kill me instantaneously. These two do at least have an onscreen history of friendship, and aren’t hideously ill-matched.

Kisaragi Gentaro Befriends the Universe - Senpai is?

After the Kyurangers rescued Gentaro Kisaragi, with the powers of Kamen Rider Fourze, he chased after his kidnappers, at the urging of the Kyurangers themselves, to stop them from wreaking havoc in other worlds. As he chased after them, he encountered one person who accused one of his senpai of things he knew any of his senpai as a Kamen Rider would never do.

A/N: Special thanks to @flaim-ita​ for helping with the characterization of Narutaki. Thanks!!!

FFN I Ao3

--------

Gentaro found himself in a land full of sand as soon as he exited the Aurora Veil. He looked around and he could only see hills made out of sand.

He utilized his suit's propulsions and flew forward, looking for any trace of the Foundation X members that were trying to run away from him.

After a few moments of looking around, Gentaro saw an active Aurora Veil. He could only guess that this was supposed to trap their followers in another world as they escape to another.

Gentaro used his suit's propulsion to its greatest capacity and gave himself a speed boost in order to catch up to the Foundation X members and follow them to their next destination, that and to avoid getting stranded in another world.

"Kamen Rider Fourze, once Kamen Rider Decade appears you need to remove him for he has corrupted many worlds." A declaration stopped Gentaro on his tracks as he looked around for the source of the voice.

Gentaro was tempted to ignore the declaration, but he knew Kamen Rider Decade, he was one of his senpai as a Kamen Rider. He can't just ignore someone who was badmouthing his bud.

He immediately stopped and landed on one of the sandy hills in the area. He looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.

Behind Gentaro was a man in a brown coat and brown bucket hat.

"He is the destroyer of worlds."

"Gaaah!" Gentaro gasped as he turned around.

"Kamen Rider Fourze, you must eliminate Decade to save all worlds from ruin."

"Senpai is?"

"S-senpai?"

"Yeah! Kadoya-senpai is my senpai as a Kamen Rider," Gentaro grinned after undoing his transformation. "I don't believe that he's the destroyer of worlds, I mean he saved mine countless times."

"It may seem that way, but he is the personification of deceit." The man shook his head.

"Dese-?" Gentaro tilted his head in confusion, trying out the new word he just heard.

"He lies." The man amended his statement.

"Kadoya-senpai is a Kamen Rider, he is a hero." Gentaro insisted.

"I did not think you to be naïve, Fourze." The man shook his head. "There have been many dark Kamen Riders in the past, alongside Decade are Duke, Eternal, Jam, and Mars to name a few."

"They made their choices and I know Kadoya-senpai chooses to do good every time." Gentaro denied the accusation. "He may even come to rescue me if he knew what has happened to me."

"Do you really believe in Decade that much?" The man asked in bewilderment.

"Of course!" Gentaro beamed. "He's my bud!"

"Buds?" The man tilted his head.

"Come to think of it, you look familiar." Gentaro frowned as he tried to remember where he encountered the man before. "You're Narutaki, aren't you?"

"I see you remember me from when the Showa Kamen Riders and Heisei Kamen Riders were fighting." The man, now identified as Narutaki, stated.

"Of course! But you disappeared immediately with those curtains before I could make you my bud."

"There's that word again, bud."

"Of course, I'm Kisaragi Gentaro, the man who's going to be buds with everyone." Gentaro offered his hand.

"Huh." Narutaki was speechless but he nonetheless took the hand offered to him.

Gentaro gleefully pulled off another one of his signature handshakes on Narutaki as soon as the other held his hand.

"Fourze, you're different from all the Riders I have met," Narutaki shook his head. "I can only hope more Kamen Riders like you appear."

"Buds help each other out," Gentaro grinned. "And we will help each other make the right decisions."

Narutaki shook his head. Maybe he had failed to gain an ally for destroying Decade, but he is also a Kamen Rider, a Rider with a mission.

"If I remember right, you were chasing after Foundation X."

"Crap! Yeah, I need to go to them before they bring the apocalypse like colliding two worlds together." Gentaro transformed back into Fourze and into Cosmic States before hovering with his suit's propulsions.

"Here." Narutaki handed Gentaro something.

"Senpai kitaaaa!" Gentaro exclaimed as he pumped both fists in the air. "An astroswitch with senpai's face on it!".

"With that, you can slow down the decay of each Aurora Curtain you encounter," Narutaki explained. "Just like that one.' He pointed towards the curtain that Gentaro was heading for earlier.

"Aaah! No! It's starting to fade."

"Simply put the Decade Astroswitch on your driver and switch it on, one stomp should slow down its decay."

Gentaro nodded and landed on the sand dune and inserted the astroswitch on his driver then switched it on.

Fourze's left leg changed from cosmic blue to magenta as soon as he switched the legend rider astroswitch on. Kamen Rider Decade's face was on his left knee whereas the entire barcode-like appearance of Decade continued to his foot.

Gentaro stomped his left leg once and the Aurora Curtain that was active a few miles away stopped disappearing.

"I cannot guarantee that they'd still be there once you enter their curtain, but you can use your Radar module to locate those curtains while the Decade astroswitch is on."

"Thanks for the tip! I need to get going."

And with that Gentaro propelled himself towards the Aurora Curtain.

"Kamen Riders, heroes who continue to fight for the future of humanity." Narutaki stated to himself before disappearing in another Aurora Curtain.

4 for toku 20 questions?

Thoughts on what you're currently watching/watched most recently? At the moment I'm watching Mahou Sentai Magiranger, Power Rangers Mystic Force, Kamen Rider Gavv and Kamen Rider OOO. Power Rangers Mystic Force is the first (and maybe only?) Power Rangers I watched start to finish, so it's been nice re-watching it again. There's a lot I *don't* remember, while other things seem familiar and there's maybe a handful of things I actually *do* remember. As I've been watching part of me is like did this show affect me more than I realised? Meanwhile Mahou Sentai Magiranger is the first Sentai I've seen, it had to be that one since Mystic Force uses footage from it. So it's been interesting to notice where the footage is being used in Mystic Force and where its not. Magi/Mystic Blue are my favourite regardless of version even though the characters can be a bit different, they somehow make it work for the most part. I just find it really interesting how they can have some episodes follow a similar storyline while other episodes are so different. I think I lean into liking Magiranger more than Mystic Force because I really like the family dynamic that the team has and we get more episodes focusing on the other rangers, not just red. Also the Magirangers all have their own unique powers outside of their elemental ones which is really cool! Kamen Rider Gavv is only really beginning, but I'm enjoying it so far! I already feel attached to our main trio. Our main boy Shouma might already be my 3rd favourite Main Rider after Emu and Sento who are basically joint 1st. He's just adorable. I'm not a big food person (I've always been a picky eater, though I'm getting better), but it feels refreshing to have a character who's food theme is unhealthy food/snacks which means he tends to eat things I'd like lol. I really like the visualisations they do when he eats a new snack. Also really liking the villain aesthetic dressed all gothic. I'm tempted to cosplay Shouma and one of the villains already (toku once again making me wanna wear the characters fits). I've seen the first 8 episodes of OOOs so far and I've been enjoying it. I like Eiji more than I thought I would, I guess Heisei Gens Final just didn't give me enough of a read on him. I like how he seems a bit smarter than he initially comes across as. I really like the whole Ankh and Eiji dynamic. Ankh thinks he's in charge but Eiji knows how to rein him in lol. (I know this is going to hurt later and am likely not prepared for it) I like how the villains have their own ways of doing things. It feels like there is quite a bit of lore to be dropped at some point. I wanna know what Gotou's deal is. I'm curious about him.

Zi-O 21; both raw AND subbed~!

Advance Warning: I have never seen Ryuki, and it’s probably going to show. A lot, if only because I have no connection to whoever the Guest Characters are, and what any issues they bring in could mean. I’ve seen Marcosatsu’s History Of Ryuki though, so that should help a little. (three links, because he wound up doing it in three parts)

Starting off with watching the Raw!

BlackWoz’s Storytime Vault doesn’t have much to offer, aside from a worrying angle at the end.

I’m impressed by Uhr’s control with reversing the damage he’s doing to that mirror. Of course, he’s paying almost zero attention to Schwartz in the process, but there’s a method to his being a little brat this time.

He’s trying to get the attention of some guy in Ryuki’s mirror world.

Sounds like his idea is “So, my new candidate? He’s from another world. Remember how that Tsukasa guy traveled? It’s kinda like that, but not.”

(What was going on in Ryuki?! Also, how many endings is this going to make for that season? Because I seem to remember hearing that there’s like, five? At least?)

I like the touch with Another Ryuga’s name and year – they’re backwards, like you’d see in a mirror.

Sougo’s DEFINITELY using Gun Mode a lot more recently. I like it’s finisher with Double, though – it’s basically a smaller scale version of the CycloneTrigger Memory Break. … What was that one called? Ah, there it is. Trigger Aerobuster.

Names are important. I’m doing my best to get them right.

But it’s basically that, with purple shots in the center of the wind bursts.

… of course, it gets reflected right back at them, because MIRRORS, but still. Points for fighting at a distance, especially with that dragon arm – that was doing some damage, it looked like.

Geiz’s Drive armor is back! (I’ve missed the shift cars, so it’s nice to at least see Max Flare, Funky Spike, and Midnight Shadow’s tires again.)

But again, mirrors.

Tsukuyomi: So, you lost him?

Sougo: Well, yes, but also we had to help the injured construction worker.

Geiz: And everything got sent back at us, so…

blah blah, ‘whats the deal with the time jackers’ blah…

“What IS this Day of Oma you mentioned, anyway?” Good question, bud.

“Well, in our history, it’s the day that Oma Zi-O took over the world.” Geiz, I get that you’re upset. But. Um. What did you just do to that chessboard?

As far as I know, you’re not able to cause shockwaves. Not just by symbolically slamming a chess piece down. ...I don’t know anything about chess, but I’m assuming that piece is the Black King. Wiping out all of his opposition in one strike… along with all of his allies.

Sougo retaliates with “And the one WhiteWoz is from, says that you stopped that from happening.” He uses the White Knight to knock down the Black King, leaving the Knight alone on the board.

And then we have the Time Jackers, trying to get someone else altogether in charge. Black Bishop takes out the White Knight. The Time Jackers are from the same timeline as Tsukuyomi and Geiz, after all.

That day is when the world’s future is decided… ooh, ominous.

… drat, have to skip the next bit of exposition, but while they’re outside talking about… victims? I think?

I hear that same sound that heralded Geiz’s Time Mazine arriving back in Episode one.

Okay, so the victims are all connected to the magazine/journal/website from Ryuki? Makes sense.

Oh man, Shinji’s already dead?! Welp, that’s it, arc over, time to go home. (dusts off hands)

Hm. He covered up all the reflective surfaces – which would include windows and vents. Because Mirror World.

Of course, that poses a problem when you use a gas heater.

Okay, so at this point, while I was watching, Over-Time posted their subs. So I just got the script, went back to the beginning, and started over.

Well, at least BlackWoz is going along with the nicknames for now. I guess he understands the need for the distinction.

Hm. Schwartz seems to think that Geiz is going to be trying for the throne on the Day of Oma. But, sir, have you met this kid? Yes, yes you have, we’ve seen you interact with him. There is nearly no way that Geiz would ever want to be in charge.

...I say nearly, because time travel and predestination and all of that jazz. WhiteWoz is screwing with the kids head.

HUH. Uhr’s logic isn’t even “it’s kinda like that Decade guy”, he was specifically told about the Mirror World by Tsukasa. (insert a certain 10-year-old meme here.)

And what’s even more interesting than that… is that Schwartz didn’t know about the Mirror World.

And we’ve already seen that Schwartz can go to other timelines, as per when he created the Another Shinobi Watch.

Hm, looks like we’re in for another variation of ‘not the Another Rider you think he is’, aren’t we? Another Ryuga has the last portion of his name covered by what appear to be burnmarks. Much like how Another OOO’s year was cracked, so it could appear to be 2016 while actually being 2010.

Oh dear GOD they’ve been fighting Another Ryuga for a WEEK. He just keeps showing up and disappearing. (Because mirrors, not that they know that.)

“Why do they keep getting harder to fight?” Well, Sougo, it’s probably largely because we’re about out of Phase Twos, and the Earlier Heisei Riders were pretty brutal, from what I’ve heard. Plus, you keep getting teleporters involved, so that doesn’t help in the slightest.

Thank you for finally asking what the Day of Oma is, though.

(Low INT, high-ish WIS.)

“Well, what future do the two of you want?” Asks the noodle with a pretty decent Charisma stat. And neither Geiz or Tsukuyomi actually have an answer for him.

(Ow, my heart.)

Okay, all the victims followed Ore Journal online, but it has since gone completely under, since it just couldn’t keep up with the times.

I was right on the money about Shinji, though, he clearly knows full well about the reflection teleportation, and now so do The Kids.

GEIZ I UNDERSTAND YOUR LOGIC. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO LIKE IT.

“Beat him in the time before the attack returns.” Because there’s a lag before the mirror shield shows up, so there’s a brief window of time. But an attack that would take it out that quickly would return just as powerful… directly at where it came from. Also known as the Rider who launched it.

And also also known as Geiz, if he gets his way.

Because a soldier who can’t defeat his enemies isn’t much of a soldier, now is he?

(Thanks a lot, eps 15 and 16. Thanks.)

Aaaand Uncle Tokiwa doesn’t actually know Woz’s name! All he could do for the Watch was clean it up… oooooh...

Sougo’s next powerup has an awful lot of that burnished gold on it. The same, or almost the same, tone as Oma Zi-O’s.

“Hello, my overlord~!” “Not. Now.”

Good boy, Sougo. And you even met this weeks tribute, and didn’t realize it!

I still don’t buy the “he doesn’t remember” thing, by the way, especially given the mirrored surfaces – how would he have known without having been Ryuki? Does he know about all the other victims? I don’t think you’ve actually talked to him yet. But I’ll let the memory ‘detail’ slide for now, since it looks like BlackWoz is actually being straightforward at the moment…

Aaand Sougo’s desperately trying to ignore him. Fair. Since that second Zi-O watch is tied to him becoming evil and all. Decent WIS stat, and also BlackWoz’s idea of ‘subtle’ is very much not so.

Meanwhile, with Geiz and Tsukuyomi… Yeah. He doesn’t plan to come out of this fight. Because what good is a soldier who can’t win?

And also, he, too, knows he is being stalked by his own personal Woz.

“What’s your end goal? If I come out on top, what’s your future like?”

“Just like this, a peace as if time has stopped.”

… Hi, yeah, not here for that phrasing at all, actually. Having just come out of HUGtto! Precure, wherein ‘stopping time so that despair can’t happen’ was kind of the villians whole thing, I’m trusting you even less than before.

Nothing can disturb the peace if nothing moves again, now can it?

But for Geiz and Tsukuyomi, literal veterans who have seen armies destroyed in the wave of an arm… they don’t have that frame of reference, now do they? They might just hear the “a time not unlike the one here” aspect.

“Hey, think I can use that notebook?”

“Nope, nuh-uh, OP reality warper powers are mine and mine alone.”

OOF. Right. Uhr contracted Mirror World Shinji, didn’t he? Which, of course, means that his existence is tied to Regular World Shinji’s existence. Can’t defeat the Another Rider? Take out his other link to living.

WhiteWoz and his “Obstacles are for killing” attitude does not sit well with Geiz.

“Hey, other me! You want revenge on that guy, right? The one who attacked you? Of course ya do! Why not!”

Meanwhile, Regular Shinji looks like he’s having thoughts along the lines of “I’m not going back to the belt! I’m out, man! I finished! I’ve finished like FIVE times already! Let me retire!”

Huh. The smudge over ‘Ryuga’ is gone. Neat. (aaand at which point I realized i’ve probably been spelling it wrong, and went back to fix all the places I used two ‘u’s on instinct.)

Clever, clever Uhr. “You can’t get a watch from a person who never existed, from a world that no longer ever was.”

...well, Schwartz could go to alternate timelines, so… Hey, Geiz, Tsukuyomi, Sougo, did any of you happen to get Tsukasa’s contact info?

Also, Tsukasa, did you have to clue the Time Jackers in on the ‘other worlds’ thing? I’m just saying, that might come back to bite you.

You are coming back, right? You don’t get to drop cryptic ‘I’m destroying this world first’ comments, and give tips to the assorted groups, and then just never come back.

It’s rude.

We need some sort of follow-through on this stuff, at least.

Geiz attempts his suicide attack… but Sougo knocks him out of the kick before he can gain momentum…

“I’m not letting you die, damnit! You still need to make sure I don’t go evil, and I’m definitely tempted by this watch right now...”

and then said watch doesn’t even try to activate.

Aaaand then Sougo gets wrestled into the Mirror World.

(Isn’t that place supposed to be super fatal if you don’t have an Advent Deck?)

Aaaah! The backwards writing, and the fact that some of it is glitching is bad enough. But the lack of sound? Nope, I’m not here for that at all. That’s never a good sign.

Although Kudos to O-T for getting the subtitles for some of those signs. Well done.

So, yeah, sorry Sougo, it’s not 3-Days-From-Now You this time. (But seriously, what happened to him?) This time it’s Evil You.

Not even 50-Years-From-Now Bad-Ending Evil You.

We’re talking a “Terran Empire Enterprise” type of Evil You. … well, at least he doesn’t have a goatee.

OH GOD AAAAGH GO BACK TO SILENCE PLEASE

Distorted belt effects are not okay! Agh! NononoNO!

Oh, and uh... Hey! Remember literally yesterday? When I said I’m loving the ‘parallel self’ juxtapositions that Zi-O’s been doing?

I should probably have remembered that the Ryuki tribute was next, and that I’ve seen the preview screenshots with Mirror Sougo being super creepy.

I may have changed my mind a bit on that juxtaposition love.

MISTAKES WERE MADE.

[passingthroughstranger]

Oh, wow...

This is gonna be another long one. Depending on tumblr, this could be one of my last posts here.

So the Super Best Friends Zaibatsu are no more...

First Liam left, then years later, tonight/today...

It is the 16th of December right now in my country. I know the stupid rule is effective tomorrow, but I'm guessing they're gonna use US times, so I have... 2 days left?

But if it's effective immediately when midnight struck?

Hmm.

I've never been a social person. I do have real life friends, but they're all so far away now, doing their things. Adulting their own way.

I'm sure many have accounts on social media sites, but as I've said before I don't trust any of them. Always tempted to make a facebook or twitter account, but I'm a somewhat private person and I hear that they require some personal info just so I can have an account.

Fuck that.

Instagram? I don't do photography, and even if I want to it would be action figures doing cool poses and I have neither the money to get the toys I want, nor do I have the skill to even use photoshop to pretty them up.

Yeah, someone who doesn't know how to photoshop. Sue me, 'cause nobody taught me.

Hell, I can't even make a YouTube video. I do have an account there, but they're all to favorite all the cool videos I've seen there. And yes, just as many as my tumblr posts.

Okay, not really; probably still in the 10K rather than the 200K posts I have here.

... Guess in light of the Zaibatsu departure, I'd like to be a bit more open to you all.

My PSN is SolidusStranger. I have another PSN, but that's only to buy US only games... And I haven't used it for so long I forgot the name and password lmao

One of these days, I have to plug in my PS3 just to check.

Discord name is CordialStranger#1996

... Been here since 2012, and my stupid ass had only made one friend. I'm sorry for all the followers who I almost never interacted with, I wish I was more social so we can geek out about tokusatsu or games... And be friends.

I have an account on fanfiction.net and it is StrangerDenB4. I made plenty of tokusatsu fanfics but I do have some that aren't... But they're only a handful. I'd link the following stories, but as always this website ruins it.

DOOM: Knee-deep in the Dust; one of the highest reviewed Doom x RWBY crossover in that website. I still can't believe people like my trash, but I'm grateful either way.

Unlike many Doom crossovers, mine is a bit more fun and silly. Doomguy isn't as gloomy as how most people portrayed him in fanfics. But of course, there are and will be serious moments and grim events. It's STILL a Doom crossover, after all.

I'm currently focused on writing Hybrid Insector: Shiin Rider Academia. A Kamen Rider x My Hero Academia fanfic.

I'm proud to say that I was the first one who made a section for this crossover in that website. Someone else might have made something before me back in 2015, in another website... but I don't know if there were anything before mine.

Unlike the majority, I don't use the Heisei Era Kamen Riders, but a Showa Rider; old-school fisticuffs, minimum fancy attacks variations and gadgets, all skills.

Specifically, a son of a Showa Rider. Read and find out.

My personal pride and joy are two peculiar fanfics; Kamen Rider Kuuga: Rising Unto the Stars, and Kamen Rider OOO: Dusts of Avarice.

Respectively, crossovers with Pretty Cure and RWBY... And self inserts.

Oh no! A grown ass man writing self indulgent self inserts, the horror!

... So fucking what?

Both were made when I was in my early 20s, so the writing may not hook you in. But I still plan to continue both of them, and make one more.

Oh, yes. One more self insert... I have a lot more ideas, but I think this new one should be enough for now.

I'm pretty sure it's not narcissism that drives me to do so... I just want to write something fun for myself.

We all have thoughts of going on adventures with our favorite characters, yes? What's so wrong about me writing about it?

So I have fantasies about romancing fictional women, who doesn't nowadays? I can only promise that there won't be any... Lemon scenes. I don't do that, ever.

At least I dared to write such stories.

I used to write Kamen Rider Amazon: Friendship is Magic. Yes, really. Not a self insert, and yes an MLP crossover.

Season 3 sucked the fun out of me to continue, and I was too young to plot properly because I had way too many ideas.

I might remake this, using the post-Equestria Girls seasons, when Twilight Sparkle got her wings and became an Alicorn.

Basically, all 15 Showa Riders helping out the ponies against evil. Turns out years later after I wrote it, said evil was Tirek. I can do something with that.

Next... Well, that's all the places you can find me. I have a Deviant Art account, but I haven't visited it in ages ever since I moved here.

This is Rasyid, and until then...
