Orchid's 5Ds stuff Masterpost

Figured it was time to collect all my stuff nicely in one place again, and really all my stuff, this time. Fanfiction, character analyses, other meta posts, and theories, all gathered in one spot, for my own and everyone else's convenience.

Fanfiction:

All my fanfic, as it can be found on ao3 via the links provided here. Heavy focus on the female characters in the show.

The Aki series - Brimstone in my Garden, Roses set on Fire (in suggested reading order; also known as my attempt to give Aki a full character arc while trying not to upend canon entirely. Faithshipping ahoy.)

To Bloom or To Wilt (rated M, 64k words, 6/6 chapters, complete) Summary: After the defeat of the dark signers, all the souls that were taken by the Earthbound Immortals have been returned. Among them is that of a man who is driven by nothing but anger and selfishness, eager to use and manipulate those around him at every turn. A man who has caused Aki Izayoi, in particular, tremendous amounts of grief and nearly moulded her into a weapon for his personal use. And a man who has, unfortunately, proven to be very good at avoiding law enforcement ever since his return to the land of the living. Or: Divine comes back to life for a second and final time, trying to scrape together what remains of the Arcadia Movement, take revenge on Yusei Fudo and make Aki's just barely peaceful life a nightmare in the process.

Chase the Sunlight (rated T, 26k words, 2/2 chapters, complete) Summary: In the aftermath of her final, harrowing encounter with Divine, Aki feels unbalanced and afraid that she might become a danger to others again. Yusei notices, and as usual, tries to help--albeit in his own way.

You have a Mirror, but do You see Yourself (rated T, 40k words, 3/3 chapters, complete) Summary: Several months after seeing Divine for the last time, Aki reflects on how she's spent that time trying to fully learn to control her powers--without him. Her judgement ends up not being in her favour, and now, with the start of the WRGP just a few days away, she worries something will go terribly wrong. As she ruminates on what to do, she encounters not one, but two unexpected, but familiar people who give her a lot to think about while she tries to prepare for the match against Team Unicorn.

Snapping Jaws and Piercing Horns (rated T, 49k words, 4/4 chapters, complete) Summary: It's time for the WRGP and against her own expectations, Aki finds herself in the team lineup for the very first match, set to go up against the rather enigmatic duellists of Team Unicorn. To her dismay, performing well during the duel itself is far from the only thing she has to worry about, though, with her powers feeling too volatile for comfort and doubts in her duelling skills surfacing due to a recent loss. How is she supposed to keep a clear head in this international tournament when self-doubt seems to weigh on her like a ton of bricks? More importantly yet, how is she supposed to help her team win?

Be Careful what you Wish for (rated T, 71k words, 4/4 chapters, complete) Summary: Leading up to the match against Team Catastrophe where she's supposed to be taking part, Aki has an accident that changes things. Changes them in a way she could have never assumed--and realises she's woefully unequipped to deal with. When a fateful encounter with an old acquaintance additionally shakes things up, she comes to the conclusion that perhaps, she's not quite as done dealing with her past as she thought she was.

The tainted Soil of the Fields of Arcadia (rated T, 174k words, 10/10 chapters, complete) Summary: Following an eye-opening confrontation with Misty Tredwell, Aki decides she might have to face up to her past if she ever wants to be free of it. After approaching Mikage with a curious request, she ends up with the last remains of the Arcadia Movement--and starts digging.

Next work: Currently in the process of being written!

The Carly collection - I swallowed the Dice, I make my own Luck now (currently in its infancy, more planned, but: also known as me trying to let Carly retain more relevancy in the story instead of relegating her to Jack's harem. Occupies the same, adjusted canon as the Aki series.)

The Architect of one's own Fortune (rated T, 89k words, 8/8 chapters, complete) Summary: After the bombastic defeat of the dark signers, Carly is left with a suspicious hole in her memory and the feeling that something isn't quite right. As disturbing memories resurface, she must grapple with a lot more than just an increasingly unsatisfying job and the fact that Jack is ghosting her. Overwhelmed by guilt, confusion, exhaustion from work and frustration due to her lacking social life, she's left asking herself who she really is, and, even more so, what she actually wants in life.

Next Work: To be written once I reach a certain point in the Aki series. (Sorry for the wait!)

5Ds meta posts:

All my extensive yelling about the show, both on an emotional and an analytical level. Sorted by topics. Careful, not a single one of these has a reasonable length.

Character-focussed posts:

Aki

An unhinged (slightly analytical) rant about Fortune Cup and Dark Signers Aki because I love her to death

A closer look at the amount of setup done for Aki from the pre-WRGP onward that was sadly never paid off

Why Aki losing her powers in canon bothers me beyond reasons of "her powers were badass tho"

Yusei

A rant about why Yusei's hangups regarding the Zero Reverse make me want to punch a wall (and why this means they're excellent character writing)

Crow

The Crow dissertation (also known as a deep dive into Crow's character writing and what happened to it), part one: the Dark Signers arc, or: why you should never let your characters hide in a fridge

The Crow dissertation, part two: the pre-WRGP arc and the Pearson Backstory, or: how NOT to introduce an extra signer dragon

The Crow dissertation, part three: the WRGP arc, or: what do you mean, the Team Catastrophe duel has good character writing??

The Crow dissertation, part four: the Ark Cradle arc, or: if you want two characters to have a meaningful argument, maybe you should let them interact before that.

Carly

A look at why the sudden, drastic change in Carly's character writing undermined not just herself, but someone else, too

Plotline-focussed posts:

The Meklord wordlbuilding and its many holes that give me headaches

I'll try to keep this masterpost updated as more fanfics/theories/meta posts come along! If you ever wanna hear me talk about something specific, feel free to ask, the ask box is open!

9-1-1 SEASON 7: FAVORITE MOMENTS ↳ part 5/?

[coquelicoq]

wei wuxian is the most dangerous kind of person. he's always like yes obviously i understand this information needs to be kept secret for strategic reasons. and then he immediately tells everyone he meets without seeming to realize this is at all in contradiction with what it means for something to be secret. like he does not seem to see the two things as related. i am keeping this secret, and i am also telling it to all my friends and enemies. see, i still have the secret! some other people also have it but that's completely beside the point.

[electricpurrs]

time and time again the only things that take me out of deep depressive states are having fun and spending time with people and yet everytime i get so shocked like wow! love and fun and laughter sure made me feel like life is worth it again. who would've thought

[familyvideostevie]

Establishing Shot

Pages 1-4

FIRST [YOU ARE HERE] - NEXT

AND WE HAVE OFFICIALLY BEGUN! >:D

Very nervous and excited to see how this goes, so really hoping you guys like the comic so far! Hoping you stick around too, cause trust me when I say it'll be g o i n g p l a c e s -

And I gotta be honest, I was kinda nervous bout starting the comic, thinking I'd have to keep track of so many things and not be able to do some shots (mainly ones with a lot of background hhHh-), but so far I think it's been going good, looks alright, and actually been pretty fun! So now just more excited then anything to get more sets out when I can! >:]

By the way don't ask me when/if pages will be coming out consistently cause honestly I don't know myself fbakndksh-

But ye I'll keep this short, just wanted to say thank you for reading, and hope ya enjoy more from me when it releases! But for now...hope you enjoy this little starter :]

[timothyslucy]

need another "you are in so much trouble" but like.... sexy. 😏

[rubyceazaart]

Also I've complied all my recent refs for my silly oc crossover idea into a nice clean group pic version of this. This one looks better, but unfortunately doesn't have the cute characters interactions as the previous. At least it looks nice!

[mythvoiced]

hiatus 🥺

saw Ferre's post from a few days ago and felt WELP might as well make it official on my end as well~ no worries or concerns, i am merely either working or completely devoid of any creative juices, truly, i stare at my fingers and dramatic music starts playing as i wonder where my writing has gone

i plan on cleaning up around mythvoiced while i take an official break from invading y'all's notifications, and that will probably entail a drastic cut on muses. DRASTIC! my deepest apologies to the people who i might impact like this (yknow, our lil threads 🥺) but i just think it's?? better to put those folks on ice that i can't wring anything out of anymore, those damn idiots DAMN IT gosh i haven't posted anything in here in what feels like ages i have lost TOUCH with the VIBES

but yes, thank you for your patience & pls have a lovely timezone TELL ME IF SOMEONE'S MEAN, I'LL FIGHT

[ind1exo]

Uh, how about you try and live in THIS world that we live in and see for yourself. But also... the people keep guns, firearms, pepper sprays, and other defense weapons on them just for defense.

I heard that humans were split into two by the gods? in order to make them not too powerful, as to why there's this thing called "twin flames" or "soulmate."

Seth what did they do to you? 🥲 Well on a positive note, Kenneth needs to see the truth in those words. Otherwise things won't go this peaceful way next time.

Wow, she's already decided to become a vampire. It's really fitting for this situation especially. So she and Seth can make way for this living in equality justice.

Good, it seems he's finally stopped his madness. Though I wouldn't have too much hope in that, I guess that is the end of his story.
