IT TOOK 34 RESTARTS BUT I FINALLY DEFEATED THEM!!!

[maddascanbe-blog]

In celebration of the Guardian Hero reaching 100 chapters- let's have a few designs people have mentioned in the comments!

Tama-Tori wasn't really requested, but I had an idea for peacock Izuku (Outside his The Guardian persona) and wanted to draw him. Love tapping into the peacocks greens. Also, nice little peek at Izuku's go-to senti-monster.

Tora-Terror, Jirou with the tiger makes sense, their vibes match up really well. I thought giving her cat/tiger ear gamer headphones would be funny, so I did that. She also has knucklebusters on her gloves, so when she punches you into the sun she can break all the bones in your face while at it.

Shout out to my friend for Atomouse for Mouse Hagakure. She pointed out that atoms are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, but still there, so it fit both her powers. I thought it would be funny to just draw the suit, but I couldn't forsake the mouse hair buns, so I just made that layer transparent. This was also my first time seeing her actual design and- man, she's a bit of a mess, I love her.

Oisbijou! My boy! His name came from bashing together the french words for Bird (Oiseau) and Jewel (Bijou). I waned to just cover him with sparkly shit, so his shout is based on ice dancers, and has both rhinestones and glitter!

Haymaker and Sleipnir! If Uraraka is a workhorse, Iida is one of those horse rich fuckers own. Not to say he can't fight, just that he's fancier about it. You may recognize Haymaker from this set of sketches. Sleipnir was another recommended name, albeit for a different character. It felt like it fit with his mobility theme, especially for this.

And finally- uh I really like Amajiki and hado. At least in everything episode I've seen them in so far. I thought having a very nervous butterfly being partnered with a very excitable dragon would be funny. I don't think you can super tell it's Amajiki, but I blame that on his face being covered. he actually has his face paint- metal- whatever the thing on his face is! And his hair is the exact same.

I couldn't resist turing Hado's hair spirals into horns, and then regretted that choice when it took me like 4 times to get the shape I wanted. Her undersuit looks similar to her hero one, just in the dragons colors. And her jacket has a scale and wing motif on it, just with the latter being on the back.

Bonus-

Have a villain Peacock Aoyama. As a treat. His name is Diamant Bleu.

Oh and uh- bonus bonus- have some villain butterfly Inko. As a treat. A gift if you will...

Classified Organization

Director Radcliffe comes to you with an alliance, one not by choice.

No warnings besides like mentioning of murder and fear of children being hurt. Oranges too, ik some people are allergic. Also like child on fire but he's fine i swear.

Prev

Before the GDA deemed you; the caretaker of underage enhanced humans. 

You were simply a GDA agent who happened to be genetically enhanced. Though enhanced is dramatic, you couldn't possibly do what the guardians are doing. 

In your file your ability is described as emotional manipulation. 

You've made sure that your file isn't accessible to other agents, once glance and they're twenty yards away from you. Isolation is one thing you're used to, in fact when you're in those large scale meetings it's almost unbearable. You can feel everyone narrowly avoiding you, their glances fleeting. Despite having no physical contact with any of them you understand exactly what they are feeling. 

The first mission you were sent on was filled with low spirits, an abandoned orphanage. 

You scoff at the sight of the dreary building, each step you and the other agents took made the structure groan. Warnings against unnecessary movements were mentioned in the briefing beforehand. You almost forgot why you were here in the first place until your eyes met those of a small child. Scared, whimpering in fear and trying to hide deeper into the corner of the room. 

His name fleeting your memory, but the fire that erupted from him scarred your arm still. You remember grabbing him, whispering soft words of comfort as his tears evaporated from the intense heat of his abilities. His hot tiny hands gripped your shirt, singeing holes into the fabric. Your heart couldn’t care of any pain that was coursing through you.  Your eyes closed as you held him, wondering why anyone would harm such an innocent child. His fear turns to ease. 

The softness of your touch hardened when you felt another set of hands try to take him from you. Looking up, your eyes meet the black panel of a GDA agent. Who locks an inhibitor collar around the child's throat. Smoke lifts from his skin, like his fire was just extinguished. 

The child's exhaustion gives way as he falls unconscious in your arms. The collar blinking it's green light, like it's mocking you. That your touch no longer works on this child. You're useless once again.  

Knowing that you never saw him again hurt more than the scars that cover your arms. 

A hand snaps it's fingers in front of you, causing you to blink back into reality. Looking up from the meager lunch you have, is Radcliffe. 

Your director, the man who's given you the worst assignments. Always with a smile. You never smile back at him. 

“Got time to talk?” He asks with a raised brow, his scar promintate. It wasn't really a question, but you stand and follow. Not bothering to clean up your mess, you'll be back. 

As you walk with him down the hall, your hands in your pockets. He's quiet in the start. 

“Stedman's getting released soon.” Radcliffe says, and you blink in confusion. 

“What? I thought he still had three more years.” You say in confusion, Cecil Stedman's arrest wasn't a secret. Everyone in every section knew of his arrest. 

You're still young compared to Cecil, though not once have you looked up to that man. When you heard of him killing Forcefist and Knucklebuster even after the duo was rehabilitated. You just couldn't imagine the man being free again. Maybe it's the fairness in you. How you want everyone to have a second chance, a third if they're nice. 

But murder? Was always a line you felt shouldn't be crossed. You know that man's crossed it plenty of times. 

“Pay attention, (L/N)” Radcliffe tsks at you and you swallow with a nod. 

“Yes sir, sorry” you divert back to Radcliffe 

“Your program is progressing at incredible rates. Honestly, (Y/N) I didn't expect it to.” He says as you both enter his office, you feel a nerve twitch in your brain at the backhanded compliment but understand where his heart is. Your mind brings back Stedman. 

“What does this have to do with Cecil, sir?” You asked with a raised brow, Radcliffe leans against his desk and shows a knowing smile to you. 

“He's going to be let out on good behavior, and has been excelling in leadership. Something you lack in, No offense” he adds on and you exhale. You look away, and then back at Radcliffe. He's not done. 

“And you'll be working with him” he adds, and it feels like a direct slap to the face. 

“Director, I don't think that's a good idea” your words were shot down by his hand rising. The energy sliced by his actions. 

“The boards already agreed on it, these kids can actually be of use to us. And the quicker we get them with Cecil, the less we have to worry about them throwing a hormone fueled tantrum and bombing the Pentagon.” he argues and you scoff. 

“They would never do that, you know that Radcliffe. You know them! Rex is already showing great self control. And the twins are working together like never before.” The last part was a lie. You both know that, if anything, those two are at each other's throats weekly. 

Your eyes fall to the photo Radcliffe has on the wall. One of you, him and the kids. A few GDA agents are in the back as protection. The first big outing you had permission to go. The kids were begging to see a movie, any movie. It was a unanimous vote on Madagascar. 

How could this man want to put these kids on a battlefield? You look back at Radcliffe, his eyes soften. 

“I'm sorry, (Y/N). But I didn't have a choice, it was either this or turn the kids over to testing.” he explains and you feel your throat bubble. 

“There was no other choice!?” You scoff out with a shaking tone. 

“Why couldn't they just go to school like regular kids? We see it first hand already. It's possible, Radcliffe. Please.” You step closer and the man's posture leans into himself. He crosses his arms. 

“It's already been decided.” He says, almost avoiding your gaze by looking behind you. You see his resolve trying not to break, and you know it won't. He's the director of the GDA, you pleading won't change the fact that papers have been signed. 

You swallow any words that want to come out. Lost and confused in a world that won't show any mercy. 

It's not fair. 

When you left his office, your throat was hot. Making your way back to your own office, forgoing the lunch you had in the canteen. It was just an old sandwich and oranges. Nothing to write home about. A part of you feels guilty for leaving it, but the thought of your kids being injured by some idiots in the field really makes tears escape you. 

Radcliffe has helped you raise those kids. He knows how isolated they really are. You thought he understood them. You truly did. 

But you really should've known better, especially from the fucking government. 

Your throat hardens and you swallow, wiping your face. You slam your hands onto your desk and turn on your computer. 

Cecil fucking Stedman, the man whose going to ruin the hard work you put into these kids. The man is going to turn them into soldiers. Your fingers work quickly, as quickly as the 2005 desktop will let you log into the secure programs and try to find that man's file. Anything about him that is private. Even public. You need to know.

God you hope you have time.

Part uh, four? of "Clone Danny"

...taking a risk and @ing @minnesota-fats since they seemed pretty hyped about this au. So i figured they'd want to know when the next part came out.

So where did we leave off? Oh yes... Danny taking the stairs two at a time to book it away from Bruce Wayne before he realized that he and Danny shared the same face.

So safe to say after Danny calls Tucker and they both panic over Bruce's appearance, and he finds himself slinging on his black hoodie and stuffing his pockets with his mask and his jawbreaker gloves before scaling down his second-story window to book it over to Tucker's place.

(you never know when there might be a ghost attack)

It's of no surprise to him when Sam is already there when he arrives at Tucker's, and they all migrate to Tucker's room to come up with a plan of attack. Was Danny gonna tell Bruce Wayne that he was a clone? hell no! He decided to let the man live in ignorant bliss and he is sticking to that decision no matter what anyone says.

Besides, his parents can open that pandora's box, considering they created it.

So their plan of attack? Literally just "avoid Bruce Wayne like the plague until he leaves" which is... a bit difficult right now.

"you could stay at our place until he leaves?" Tucker says

"And what if he stays for a month?" Danny asks, overthinking as he's become prone to do. Ghosts are unpredictable after all. "I cant have a month-long sleepover at your place."

"You could wear a mask?" Sam suggests

and Danny makes a face, "What kid wears a face mask in their own house?"

"You could feign an illness."

...And so on and so forth. They discuss ideas for nearly an hour until Sam leaves and Danny needs to head out as well before his parents discover that he's gone. (he cant exactly tell them he snuck out his window)

(He crawls back through his window only to get the daylights scared out of him by Jazz, sitting on his bed and wanting to talk to him about Bruce Wayne being, apparently, in their living room. Danny kicks her out instead because he already talked about it with Sam and Tucker and doesn't want to talk about it again for tonight)

Skip to later that night when he gets woken up by his ghost sense triggering. He wakes up with a chill and mist breathing out of his mouth, tasting like what freshly fallen snow smells like and ozone. It makes his teeth chatter.

Danny doesn't bother checking the time, and grabs his mask from under his pillow and his knucklebuster gloves. he all but sleeps in his hoodie and padding so all he does left is his boots and vest and thermos.

(He grabs his bat on the way out, and keeps his mask in his pocket until he steps outside)

when he sneaks into the kitchen, halfway through pulling his hair into a ponytail, light draws his eyes and there, up at who-knows-o'clock, is Bruce Wayne on his laptop. In their living room. He looks up at the same time as Danny.

Danny makes direct eye contact with him. Again. But there's no door to slam in his face....and behind Bruce Wayne, standing ominously at the window outside, is fucking Skulker. of course it is.

"...Mister Wayne." He says after a considerable silence where he's not sure if he's staring at Skulker or at Bruce. Skulker just stands. Menacingly. Like he crawled straight out of a horror movie.

Danny's not sure if Wayne's seen him or not.

(Bruce has, indeed, seen him in the reflection of his laptop. And considered investigating the problem just before Danny appeared.)

"...Mister Fenton." Wayne says moments after, sounding pretty calm and uncurious about what he's doing up. "What are you doing up?"

…Nevermind.

"Go…ing on a midnight stroll?" Danny says, he's a terrible liar but people never seem to assume he's off kicking ghost butt.

"With a bat?"

(Note: this is the only time Danny curses the fact that the Fenton Creepstick is painted with glow-in-the-dark-ectoplasm-infused paint. It's saved his butt numerous times in both finding it and smashing it into ghosts' faces. But now its just a hindrance.)

"...We have a ghost problem." Danny says, feeling like he came straight out of a sitcom. "What are you doing up?" Skulker looks like he's getting impatient behind the anti-ghost glass. Danny promptly ignores him.

"Just doing some Wayne Industries work." Bruce says.

And Danny nods thoughtfully. "Cool. Cool... Bye." And he turns and books it out the door.

He just barely has enough time to make it to the street and put on his mask before Skulker damn near takes his head off with his usual proclamation of skinning him. Danny, pointedly, sarcastically signs back his retort until he can get further away from the house.

Ok so this might be an actual ULTRAKILL hot take that will ruffle a few feathers, but here goes

The Jackhammer is good. Too good. It's overpowered.

It completely overshadows not just the shotguns but also the Knucklebuster. Bullet spread makes the shotgun bad at range, which is a staple of shotgun designs in video games in general, but that's counteracted by projectile boosting, core ejecting, and the chainsaw alongside your mobility so that you can close the distance and get blood, a fair tradeoff that requires skill to fully utilize.

The Jackhammer just completely blows this out of the water, especially since you get it with the whiplash already in your arsenal. Now who cares about spread and projectile boosting when you can latch on to heavy enemies and do the most damage out of any weapon you have, with no risk of self-damage with projectile boosting.

Combine this with the fact that the Core Eject Jackhammer turns the explosive core into explosive hitscan and that the downside of the Jackhammer breaking can be completely overlooked by just switching models and there's little to no reason to use the base shotgun once you have the Jackhammer. The shotguns aren't even bad, they just can't compete once you unlock the Jackhammer.

Then factor in the poor Knucklebuster, which is just outdone in terms of damage, hitbox size, and range, but also that it loses its niche of breaking Gutterman Shields. The only real upside that's unique left for the Knucklebuster is its applied knockback, which I guess you could use to send enemies into bottomless pits, which is something, but then you lose out on blood, assuming you need it.

I know it's a late-stage weapon, but it makes confrontations with enemies before that trivial. I just fought the Leviathan for shits and I P-ranked it easily several times because I just kept flying around and was unhittable. Then I thought to unequip the Jackhammer since you're not supposed to have it when you fight it and it actually became a challenge. The shotguns just cannot compete.

The real shitty part is that I absolutely love the Jackhammer and would hate to see it nerfed, but if they wanted to design the weapons as to not overshadow each other, which they said in the Museum, then I hate to say that they failed.

Mind you my intent is to not spread hate or anything like that, video game balance is hard and balancing weapons is difficult. I just personally think that if you wanted to balance the weapons in ULTRAKILL so that they don't overshadow each other, the current Jackhammer is not the way to go.

As for how to remedy this, I genuinely have no idea. Making the shotguns fire hitscan would remove projectile boosting, which is not only fun but also effective. Increasing the projectile speed would also throw off muscle memory. Maybe make projectile boosted pellets pierce explosive resistances? It's at least something, but it's also getting into Firestarter turf in terms of utility.

As for helping the Knucklebuster, I think removing the shield breaking ability on the Jackhammer wouldn't hurt. Leave the Knucklebuster some utility that's unique to it and it'll still have its place.

more "domestic" V1 au thoughts V1's parents are military, and they trained V1 since it was young but neither party ever formed a bond/connection V2 is the abandoned kid (abandoned via left at a building and the family moved away) of the V-Series family that V1 discovers later in life (highschool idk seems likely) and they become part-siblings again after V1 schools V2 and steals his arms (y'know, Knucklebuster and Whiplash) but doesn't tell V2 it kept them because those arms are sick as fuck why would it let V2 know Mirage isn't related to either of them at all and is bff's with V2 (maybe more but y'know it's an open book) this concludes my random ass

[missy-the-dragon]

"Knucklebust this chucklenuts"

Something my girlfriend said when playing ultrakill and then I was possessed to make this stupid thing. I can't unhear V1 saying this so you guys have to deal with my shenanigans.

Part 4 - Chapter 10 - Vigilante Presentation

Blank Canvas Part 4

AO3 - here

Fanfiction.net - here

Hi! Hello! How are you? :) I'm alive still just this chapter was a butt to finish. One of those I had the idea but not the specifics. To which I had to let it simmer in the background for a while only to get to having this be the next posting and actually get it done. And while it's not my favorite chapter I'm still happy with it enough to post it so here we are! Hope you like it! ^___^

Now fair warning I just kind of went with what felt rightish with using info from the wiki. So any discrepancies I am just gonna say will be what they be. In the long run this chapter doesn't have much impact other than being referenced.

The ever slightest of warning for teasing but it's connected with Present Mic and his extraness. It's close to the end of the chapter and even then is not that bad.

Linktree to all the things!

End notes for the chapter are under the line.

Alrighty. So Izuku's punishments for Hosu are completed and I don't have to worry about them anymore. Phew! Again just kinda went with the flow with this so it is what it is.

Got some TodoIzu fluff in there just because I could. :P And sure Izuku may have been 'taught' how to tie his tie doesn't mean that Shouto is going to stop showing him how. ;) As for the Dabi issue, I don't think Shouto knows about the investigation yet? At least for what I have posted so far. But yeah, I don't think it works to tell Shouto the truth about Dabi yet. In time though eventually.

I remember getting a comment somewhere about not bringing up Knucklebuster in an earlier part which granted valid point. Though I didn't feel it pertinent to change that particular part plus I honestly don't remember where it is. XD But with this we can address that and while perhaps Izuku could have taken inspiration, I personally find him a bit too violent for my version of him. To each their own though. But hey, it's a thing now.

For the origin of Quirks, we now know that the glowing baby was just the first recorded quirk but not the first quirk ever. However that doesn’t get revealed until the end of canon learning more about AFO’s past. So I’m sticking with how they present the baby as the start as common knowledge.

Btw, I am so happy I got the peacockatoo thing to fit! It was just a random brain nugget that I thought was funny. Originally it was gonna be when Mic introduces Izuku but it didn't fit well once I was writing. But then that little blurb came out and its a bit out of place but also I kinda like it. It's whatever.

So I was not expecting the Yoichi pov there at the end. It just sort of happened but I felt the need for something a little bit more. He's already seen the vestiges in the hospital and I'm just seeing how the story flows when it comes to OFA and the vestiges. I have ideas of when Izuku first sees Yoichi 'face to face' and I do have plans for dealing with the singularity issue. Though how those plans will play out remains to be figured out. :P We'll get there eventually.

Alrighty. That's it for this chapter! We've got the exam starting up next time. Let the drama continue! ;D Until then! Byeeee!

Knucklebuster by Dave Nestler
