v used to be super into surfing in her late teens/early 20s and it's something she's really good at. she was the regional championship title holder for a few years in a row ! but that sort of happened ... on accident. it's not something she's had a ton of time for recently but weather permitting ( acid rain is a bitch ) and life permitting ( actively dying is also a bitch ) she'll try to get out on the water to blow off some steam

[oathkeeper-of-tarth]

Here's another long-winded post about me combing through BG3 early access files in search of Aylin and Isobel tidbits - rummaging that already resulted in this post right here. Let me just say I'm pleased to have brought Aylin Silverblood some attention because, again, I think it's a dope name.

Now, obviously, Isobel and Aylin are both Act 2 characters, and early access only covered Act 1. So anything related to them is partial stuff that wasn't scrubbed from the game files for whatever reason, and a lot of placeholders (these are usually indicated by |the text being in vertical lines|). This all means that sometimes (usually!) there are no nice voice lines indexed by UUID and parseable dialogue trees, and you have to trawl through a giant localisation XML of every bit of text in the game instead. An additional complication is all these stories were in flux, but older bits of writing from deprecated iterations didn't get immediately removed from the files, so it's sometimes hard to tell what belongs to which version.

The biggest luck I've had with regards to these two is the 24/11/2021 version of the game - EA Patch #6 Hotfix #19, aka game version v. 4.1.1.1356845, aka the source of Aylin Silverblood (my beloved). Here's a handy list of the patch and hotfix history, if you're like me and interested in this stuff. I'm actually wrangling files from 5 versions of the game right now, ranging from March 2021 to July 2022 - it's been a fun time. This old datamining post on reddit really helped narrow down the timeframe for me to look into.

Why am I doing this? I genuinely find it fun and interesting! There's some neat writing to be found! I crave more Isobel at all times! And I'm always into WIP and "how the sausage is made" type stuff. Also, tons of cool inspo for fics and headcanons.

Note, because I know that's a popular EA tidbit: this is all from after the Halsin killing Isobel variant was scrapped. This is, in fact, the version where she gets killed and soul trapped by Balthazar, and Aylin gets framed for it.

I'm going to start this off with my favourite part, and that is snippets of an early version of the Aylin/Isobel reunion from 2021. I've done my best to put them in order, but be aware a lot of this is still me speculating.

|[CINE: Nightsong teleports the party to the plaza in front of Last Light. As she looks around trying to familiarize herself, Isobel notices your arrival from the balcony. Her reaction is pure shock, followed by an immediate rush down the stairs.]|

|[CINE: Isobel dashes out of the front of the inn, wide-eyed and out of breath. Nightsong stares at her, stunned.]|

Aylin: |(distant, shocked) Isobel.|

Isobel: |Aylin...|

|[CINE: Nightsong takes an instinctive step towards her but stumbles, collapsing to her knees, eyes blown with pain and disbelief. Isobel closes the distance between them in hasty steps, trying to help Nightsong up, but Nightsong tightly grips at her arms - as if the contact makes everything real.]|

|[CINE: Isobel's eyes fill with tears as she drops down to the ground, throwing her arms around Nightsong's shoulders in a tight embrace. Shaking, almost fearful, Nightsong returns the embrace - the first kind touch she's had in a hundred years.]|

|[CINE: Nightsong draws back from the hug, looking Isobel in the eyes. Isobel helps Nightsong to her feet. As the two of them stand, they keep their hands linked.]|

Aylin: |A hundred years. Isobel, light of my heart, where were you? (choking up) I found your body, I....|

Isobel: |I was dead, Aylin. For so long. It was Balthazar - he trapped my soul, he-|

Player: |[Doesn'tKnowRelationship] You were lovers? Did Ketheric know?|

Aylin: |(jaw tightens) We were lovers. Her father was against it. He saw nothing but future misery. I'm immortal. I would never age, but she would.|

Isobel: |He didn't understand. It doesn't matter when... (fearful, as if worried Aylin's feelings might have changed) ... I still love you so much.|

Aylin: |(her first genuine smile) And I, you. No trial or pain could ever change that. (relaxes a touch) It is why I couldn't leave your body, even when they came. Balthazar and that Sharran witch told your father that I was to blame.|

|And he believed them over you?|

Aylin: |(frowns) He believed what he wanted to believe. Ketheric saw his daughter dead, and he saw someone he wanted to hurt. Shar took that cruel thread, that moment of mortal pain, and used it to corrupt him to the core.|

Aylin: |I was put on trial, and I had no defence. The moment it was over, I was taken down to the temple and... well, you saw what they had done.|

|Isobel presses against Nightsong's side, face tight with worry, running her fingers in slow strokes up and down Nightsong's arm.|

|[CINE: Nightsong tilts her head back towards the player.]|

Aylin: |These heroes saved me. Without them, I'd still be trapped in Balthazar's soul cage, with Ketheric gripping my heart like a leech.|

|[CINE: Isobel's face falls at the mention of her father's name.]|

Isobel: |A *soul cage*? Gods.|

Isobel: |I didn't know. Gods, he didn't say a word to me. I ran away because it was Balthazar that brought me back. As I ran, I heard my father shouting... but I'd seen enough. There was no saving him.|

Aylin: |You are not your father, Isobel. (sad, wry smile) You were the only thing that kept me alive in the dark. When hope began to fade, I simply thought of you.|

Isobel: |[To player] Thank you. (smiles wide) I... I can't possibly thank you enough, for bringing Aylin back to me.|

|Nightsong smiles too, but she's lost looking at Isobel, completely tuning out everyone else around them. Isobel leans in, resting her brow against Nightsong's and closing her eyes, Nightsong's hand clutched to her chest.|

Then, there is an option to press Isobel for details:

|You said the necromancer trapped your soul. Why?| |Was Balthazar the one who killed you, Isobel?|

Isobel: |(hesitant, visibly guilty) I think Aylin would know better than I do. The last thing I remember is a blade in the dark. Too fast to feel pain. Then silence.|

Asking Isobel to go with you to Moonrise was possible at various points, leading to different responses:

Will you come with me to Moonrise? I could use your help. If we're going to stop Ketheric, you have to come with me.

Until there is a way to keep Last Light safe, I cannot leave. All I can do is pray. |Not if everyone is killed at Last Light in my absence. I'll do everything I can to help you from here, but I won't go with you.| |Not if everyone is killed at Last Light in my absence. If someone else could take my place, I would go with you. I swear it.|

|Nightsong is here, she will protect Last Light - let's go to Moonrise, like you promised.| |I want to spend the night with Aylin. Meet me at Moonrise tomorrow.| |Nightsong will protect the people while together we can stop Ketheric.|

Isobel: I... we need to get close to him, don't we? And Aylin can protect Last Light in my absence. Aylin: Isobel, I have just gotten you back. To put yourself in his hands again-

Looks like we would've had a flip of the current Act 2 boss fight, and Isobel would be the ally for the confrontation with Ketheric, not Aylin. Also, that one line right there that is our first indication of Succor™, gotta love it. Sadly, post-reunion I only have:

|TBD: Post Nightsong Reunion.| |How are you and Aylin doing?|

To borrow release version Isobel's stock line: KEEPING VERY WELL, I HOPE? In any case, I'm putting the rest under a cut, featuring options for calling Isobel out on her parentage, Aylin being from Mt. Celestia, and Balthazar being gross - among many other things.

At one point quite early on, Isobel's protection from the shadow curse wasn't a spell, but an ointment:

|Ointment of Selûne| |Ointment Container PLACEHOLDER| |Isobel filled this with precious doses of her sacred Ointment of Selûne.| |First get the ointment from Isobel.| Have you received Isobel's ointment yet? What protection can her ointment offer, exactly? You should see Isobel. If Marcus does crop up, I'd sooner you had her ointment to protect you. Can use that cleric's ointment to get you on your way. But I have to move out - now. Can I get some of your ointment? No more theories! It's time for action. Our secret weapon needs to travel to Moonrise Towers, which means they'll need your ointment. You have the ointment. You have the Gate Stone. Moonrise Towers awaits. Are you sure the ointment will last long enough?

What is now Isobel's Ominous Cough was a gradual weakening that was remarked upon and seemed to be there to create more of a sense of urgency:

I won't claim to know Isobel's craft, but Selûne's light is bright in her. Isobel's tough - though she was tougher at the start. I've rarely seen a cleric so in tune with her goddess, but the curse is taking its toll. The light used to be stronger, Isobel. How much more of this curse can you take? You look paler than death, Isobel. How much more of this curse can you take?

We have some nice concise infodumps on Ketheric:

After Ketheric turned to darkness, the Enclave joined with the Harpers to unseat him and his Sharran cohorts. We marched together, fought together, bled together... and in the end we prevailed.

Only it wasn't the end. Nothing seemed to kill Ketheric himself, so the Harpers decided to seal him in his own tomb, alive. They thought that would be enough. But they hadn't counted on Ketheric unleashing the shadow curse. We watched it drain all light and life away from this place, saw it twist people into abominations. The Harpers lost hope.

Ketheric wove the curse on this land. The moment he was sealed in that tomb, Shar's poison devoured everything in its path.

Fallen paladin. Champion of Shar. He was building an army bent on unholy conquest, but we stopped him. Killed him. Buried him.

It was not enough. General Thorm lives again. He's built a new army, and this time he marches under the banner of the Absolute.

November 2021 is the earliest mention of Aylin I found, mostly marked as not finalised and placeholder dialogue (and that reunion up there). The Nightsong as present in that patch is still very different from what we ended up getting - nobody was killing her, in fact people were coming to get her "kiss", and there was a whole thing where it seems like Shar would directly take control of her and you could help her overcome the curse, or abandon her to it - or kill her. 

Embrace the Nightsong and be sworn to Eternal Shadow.

Anyway, here are her lines (all of these exist as voice files, which is rare for stuff I put in this post - but they're done by a voice actress who doesn't sound like Helen Keeley, our final Aylin VA, so I don't know what to make of it all tbh):

Shar is the Nightsinger, and I am her Nightsong. I am her instrument, transforming the faithful into shadows. I've been here for centuries. Do you know how many priests of Shar came here, full of faith, seeking my kiss? I've been here for centuries. Thousands of Sharrans came here seeking my kiss. I drink their sorrow, their loss, their grief. Then I vomit it back into the world. All of them are shadows now. That is Shar's only reward. But Ketheric returned for my kiss, over and over. You're the first to survive my kiss intact. You're the only one who can help me. Please, you have to help. No one's ever resisted the kiss before. No one has ever resisted my kiss. But you are not merely *one*, are you? That thing in your head must be incredibly powerful to resist a goddess. Perhaps it's also divine in nature. Because a mind can't survive two masters. It breaks us. Shar's attention must be elsewhere. Speak quickly. She's watching now. She's waiting to steal my voice. But it won't last. Please - listen! I was captured by Ketheric Thorm, Shar's chosen. He turned me into this creature. I'm a slave of Shar. She owns me, just like that thing in your head owns you. I want to sing my own song. Not Shar's. Not *Ketheric's*. Find Ketheric. Kill him so I can be free! Slay Ketheric. His wretched existence binds me to this temple. Oh. That made her angry. The Lady returns! She has me again! *Again!* Stop! You've driven her away!

I am not your *spectacle*. Turn away before I strike you blind. Tell them to come and receive my kiss.

Some possible relevant tags, interactions, and outcomes include:

|The soul cage has greatly weakened Nightsong| |Debug: click to save Nightsong (sets the flag to talk to Isobel)| |We sided with Ketheric and doomed Nightsong.| |Companion comment!||But if his power is linked to this Nightsong, there must be a way to unlink it.| |You have taken control of Ketheric's Soul Cage| |You are bound to Ketheric's soul cage, taking his regenerative powers for yourself| |Bound to Soul Cage| |Soul Cage Key| |Soul Cage Research| |The book details the necromancer's research on the soul cage| |There is a glimpse of Isobel's ghost, as she takes her Father with her to the afterlife.| |There is a glimpse of Isobel's ghost terrified and in agony. Both Isobel and Ketheric will disappear.|

At one point Isobel delivers her own, Ketheric's, and Aylin's backstory as "a story", but sadly I can find very little of it, just disjointed fragments:

You seem to know a lot about Ketheric. He was a devout Selûnite who converted to Shar. They say it was Ketheric's purity that drew an angel down from Celestia. You're Isobel Thorm. The daughter who died in that story.

And there seem to be many options to question Isobel about her hiding the truth about her father:

Why are you lying to me, Isobel? Everyone thinks you're dead, Isobel. Tell me the truth, Isobel. Everything. Still, Isobel might have saved us some time had she been honest from the beginning. |Why didn't you tell me what happened from the start, Isobel?|

Ketheric. Don't you mean your father? Ketheric is your father. I know the truth. Ketheric told me at Moonrise. He wants me to bring you home. I need your father to trust me. He wants you back. You sent me after your father - Ketheric. I think we should discuss Ketheric - your father - first. For all you've said about Ketheric, you left out the part where he's your father.

To which I've found some responses:

And would you have trusted her? Ketheric's daughter? Why didn't I tell you that I was murdered, that my soul was locked away for a hundred years? What would I have told her? That my father murdered her fellow Harpers, but that I can surely be trusted?

[Attempt to read Isobel's thoughts.] *You see Ketheric standing before Isobel, although the memory is hazy. His words are unclear, but his tone is not - he is pleading with her.*

Brought back by the same man that killed me. Balthazar. Standing next to my father with a smile on his face.

But I'm not sure it would have mattered. To stand with that man, my father has surrendered to deepest evil.

I would love to know what the whole pleading thing is about, and what Isobel "didn't know" that she claims didn't matter anyway.

My father. After a century, he somehow brought me back. But I saw the monster he had become. I couldn't bear it... I ran. I ran until I found Last Light. It was like a second home to me, once. I've been studying the curse ever since, searching for answers. Trying to restore the damage my father has wrought upon this land. It's possible I may have to sacrifice myself. But this is my father's crime.

And then, there is this nugget I cannot place but that I like: 

|Your father's due will come.|

There is also an option to tell her Nightsong is Aylin (who was, at this point, a full celestial - no mention of being connected to Selûne, though, and in fact, if she was indeed from Mount Celestia as mentioned in the "story", she would not have been):

Isobel: My father's curse still blackens this earth. Have you found anything? Player: A celestial, chained to Ketheric's soul. Player: They called her Nightsong, but she told me her name was Aylin. Isobel: Aylin. She... she's alive. I knew she had to be, I… Player: Ketheric's necromancer took her to Moonrise. Isobel: His necromancer? Gods, you have to free her. Isobel: You have to go to Moonrise and free Aylin. When Ketheric is weak, this can all be over. Isobel: The truth is that I would give anything to see her again, and anything to stop my father. Free her, and you do both. Isobel: At least, the shell of my father. There's nothing left of the man that championed Selûne. Isobel: Find her. Free her. If Ketheric isn't stopped, all of us are doomed.

Player: |[Doesn'tKnowName] Aylin? Care to explain?| Isobel: The angel in my story about Ketheric. That was Aylin.

Speaking of Balthazar. Some lines from him:

[Introductory note: please imagine everything Balthazar says spoken with a wheezy voice, as if he's permanently out of breath.]

[I need to retrieve the Nightsong, but the temple is haunted and my minions cannot make it past the trial grounds. I cannot go there until the ghosts have been dealt with. Now that you are here on behalf of Ketheric, you will do all this for me.]

I, Fodder, am here on behalf of General Ketheric Thorm. Down in the depths of this temple writhes his desire. I am to bring it to him.

I created the Nightsong for General Ketheric, many moons... HEAR THAT SHAR? Many moons ago.

*As you hold the necromancer's mocking gaze, you can tell how it starts to dawn on him you are not the mere minion he thought you were.*

Along the way I found some more recent Patch 8 (2022-ish) gross Balthazar lines, some bits of which have actually survived to release:

She was a unique specimen even before I began my work. Aasimar. A god's blood united with mortal flesh.

Such fine clay she was. We grew quite close as I… remoulded her. Now she is General Thorm's shield. Her strength is his to drink upon. His pains are hers to bear.

If I never exceed her, I will still die happy. If I ever do something as gauche as truly dying, that is.

Utterly revolting! Makes my skin crawl! Man deserves a yeeting into the Shadowfell a hundred times over! But in order to not end on a gross note, I leave you with:

Ketheric Thorm. Murderer. Oathbreaker.

Aylin Silverblood. My true name. Nightsong was only ever a curse.

[paper-gold-theories]

Villainous Observations/Theories: Compiling the list of folders and pop-ups as shown in Episode 4 from Timestamp 1:02 - 1:12. The first photo is from BHO while the rest is V.I.R.U.S. exploring the dark web. I headcanon that some of these companies and places might be relevant in future episodes.

1. 02_SERVER

- CST (It might stand for Central Time Zone. File probably contains BHO shows to be broadcast at that time zone.

- HEED'S REC (Headcanon: One of the employees in BHO is simping for Miss Heed and is watching her livestrams and saving her vods. 😆)

- CODES

- CONTRACTS

- CNN NEWS (At the end of Episode 6 GoldHeart is watching CNN NEWS, so I wonder if CNN is part of BHO's service which is ironic as the news seems to be covering for the Heroes 🤔)

- Although BHO has the same initials as Black Hat Organization. It might be just a streaming service with the same initials as from the public Charly mentions she only knows BHO is streaming platform.

- (File is corrupted, appears to be where V.I.R.U.S. is located at. My guess is that the file would say Live-Cam considering that V.I.R.U.S. was spying on the BHO employees.)

- WAIFUS 👀

2. YOURCRAFT

- The Villainous version of Minecraft. (Someone is playing video games at work 😆)

3. LIVE CAM 09

- As mentioned above V.I.R.U.S. is spying on the BHO members.

4. ...THE VILLAIN - HYPE-V

- Looks like the name of the music that is playing (full name is cut out by Live-Cam).

- This might be referring to the type of virus V.I.R.U.S. is, which is a Hyper-V virus. Hyper-V is a computer file which behaves like an actual computer which enables you to do tasks like create software, run operating systems and programmes and connect to different networks.

- As shown here in V.I.R.U.S.'s origin it appears to be creating its own commands before going rogue.

5. WEBFLIX - WEIRD STUFF

- The Villainous version of Netflix and their show Stranger Things. (Someone is watching tv at work 👀)

6. 404 LOKY

- LOKY might be the Villainous version of Lokinet which is an onion router that enables users to access the internet anonymously. It is commonly used to access the dark/deep web.

7. Date

- Current date of 14 June 2022. Which, referring to this episode is the date that Codigo Guajalote's final episode is supposed to be released. This episode also aired in 2022 confirming that Villainous takes place in the current timeline.

8. BAiTSHOTEL.com - El major viaje otra vida. (Translation: The best trip another life)

- Headcanon: This might be a hotel for ghosts or might be a place to trap ghosts, hence the word "bait" in the name.

- I wonder if the Villainous gang will go here in the future, maybe to meet a client or a business meeting.

- Or perhaps this hotel is owned by hero and they to fight a Hero in order to rescue a Villain.

- And Perhaps it's Mother Poltergeist, in Episode 2, Mother Poltergeist is nowhere to be seen while the Bandit House and the Ghost kids have to fend off against the hero Bulldozer, perhaps she is trapped in the BAiTSHOTEL.

- Update: (great observation from @znvorz) the Baits Hotel hotel is also inspired by the Bates Motel, owned by Norman Bates from the 1960s horror movie, "Psycho".

9. EL BUITRE - COMPAÑIA DE SEGUROS DE BHO (Translation: THE VULTURE - BHO INSURANCE COMPANY)

As mentioned in the Lost Cases of the Park Orientation Video (Timestamp: 6:07 - 6:39) this company is a subsidiary of Back Hat Organization that provides insurance for space ships being totaled.

10. HITMAN - SERVICICIO PRIVADO (Translation: Private Service)

- I wonder if this is a private evil organization outside of Black Hat Organization also provides hero extermination services.

- Headcanon: It would be an interesting episode if the Villainous Gang would have to compete with the rival company if they have the same target and have to fight to see who will defeat the hero or else they won't get paid.

11. DR. BRAXTON'S

- ARMAS (WEAPONS)

- GADGETS

- ARTILUGIOS (GADGETS)

- Y MÁS (AND MORE)

- This is PENUMBRA'S Website in the dark web for selling her inventions. As shown throughout her Instagram, she set up a booth in the Mad Science Expo which helped bring in more customers for her business.

12. SILENCIO de los CORDEROS Restaurante - Ahora a Domicilio (SILENCE of the LAMBS Restaurant - Now at Home)

- Lol the name 😂. I kinda imagine the Villainous gang tagging along with Black Hat to the evil restaurant to have a business meeting.

13. WANTED - RING US! BEFORE... WE-RING-YOU!

Looks like a help wanted ad for Villains. The claws on the ad kinda reminds me of HIM from The PowerPuff Girls.

14. HATCOIN

- The currency used to buy products in BlackHat Organization.

15. EvilZone

- The Villainous version of Amazon. Most likely used to buy dark web stuff.

16. TAKEN BLACK HAT ORG.

- As mentioned in the Guide for an Evil Conquest Orientation Video (Timestamp: 4:31 - 5:17) this company this company is a subsidiary of Back Hat Organization that provides space ship taxi services for Villains. In exchange for 100 years of service and 99 souls...

17. VILLAIN LOANS

- Provide evil loans to Villains. I wonder if Metauro is taking loans, seeing as he needs money to pay back his debt to Black Hat Organization and get his family back.

18. INSTAGRIM

- Villanous dark web version of Instagram as used by Penumbra and other Villains.

19. BLACK HAT RESORT

- from the Villainous Trap-ical Resort Video

20. The rest are clips of the orientation videos and Episode 1 and the Black Hat Organization Business Card.

Jeanne D'arc Alter (Fate/Grand Order) - Bee

And that does it for character updates!

For this update, we’d like to announce that we have reworded our stance on “Characters from upcoming games”, as well as our spoiler window!

Before, it was that any character from a game that was “Unfinished” would have to wait until the game was finished for you to apply them, but upon further discussion with members, we concluded that this was a bit too much, so, now

You are allowed to apply characters from games that are in “Early Access” (As much as you could if a show’s season isn’t over!), so long as they have a characterization or plot that is set in stone and is unlikely to change! Basically, if the character has enough to work with, you’re good!

Though, if a character is mysterious with a backstory that is largely made up by headcanons or fan interpretation, we ask that you wait until there is much more to work with! (An example of this would be Kris and Ralsei from Deltarune, there’s quite a lot about them that we don’t know...)

And in the case of a character taking a shocking left turn, please look into updating them, or making them canon divergent! <:

And secondly, we would like to revise our stance on “Spoiler characters”, essentially, from now on, a month wait is enough for most characters that are considered spoilers (Minor to Moderate), after a month has passed since a game’s release or a spoiler episode, you should be good...

Unless they are considered a “Walking Spoiler”, a massive spoiler of a character that can change the flow of a story and who’s mere existence is a spoiler in itself. For that, you’ll likely be waiting 2 months or more, and the mod team will review if it’s ok for that character to be played, given how they may spoil something for people joining!

Over all, it’s much more of a case-by-case basis now, we may even shorten the wait time to apply characters from a new IP to two weeks! But, for now, we hope this results in many new and interesting characters joining us!

For other updates, we’re hoping to have posts up about some of the changes we’ve made to Elsternwick, including the Job System (Pretty simple!), an update to our wording on the ban list, and a few other fun surprises, and we hope you’ll look forward to reading about them!

We hope you have a lovely evening and look forward to seeing you again, wether you’re already in Elsternwick, or just visiting and thinking about joining!

UMBRELLA CHRONICLES ACCESSED . . .

PERSONNEL DOSSIER

FILE NO. ▇▇▇▇▇▇

NAME: Vladimir Bodrovski

CALLSIGN: SPECTRE

D.O.B.: ▇▇/▇▇/1964

OCCUPATIONS / RANK: Formerly — Soviet Union Security Service; Formerly — Illegal informant for Vory v Zakone/Thieves In Law; Umbrella, U.S.S. Delta Team "Wolfpack" — Surveillance Expert

CERTIFICATIONS: Renown sharpshooting (close to long range), surveillance & intelligence technician, moderate CQC

VISUAL FEATURES: 5'11" / dark midlength hair, large observant eyes, long plain features, slouched and errant body language, lithe, / face inspo / tattoos

NOTES & REMARKS: low raspy voice with long, winded pauses between words

BACKGROUND: A veteran of the Cold War and former spy previously with the former Soviet Union's security services, codename SPECTRE was well suited to his role as an intelligence technician where his lack of any standout physical or social characteristics helped him to remain virtually invisible in any situation.

His work brought him into contact with the seedier side of life, something he soon discovered he had an affinity for. He exploited his underworld network for his own gain, namely blackmail, which eventually brought him into conflict with the authorities. As a result, SPECTRE had to flee Russia with investigators and authorities on his heels every step of the way.

→ Vladimir attended the Academy of Foreign Intelligence. Privy to the shifting politics in Russia, and sensing the upcoming fall of the Soviet Union, Vladimir needed insurance for his future. He began to collect and trade in major government secrets with the many gangs under the callsign СПЕКТР (SPEKTR: ghost or spectre). He began to be known as a concierge of secrets and earned a considerable standing in the underworld. He was considered a part of the воры в законе (Vory v Zakone) or the "Thieves In Law" and learn the ponyatiyam, the honor code of criminals.

→ The Soviet Union began to suspect one of their own was leaking insider information. In preparation for the investigation, Vladimir whipped up a smokescreen of false trails to his peers. While eyes were off of him, he tried to flee. In his anxious haste, while traveling to leave the country, he committed a social blunder and was arrested for seperate unrelated trumped-up charges. He spent about six months imprisoned.

→ The Thieves In Law and the ponyatiyam code worked quickly to free their informant. They tapped into the obshchak, the massive mutual aid fund made by the rich criminal underworld meant to bribe law enforcements, silence political parties, and, in this case, get prisoners out earlier. Vladimir spent six months imprisoned, but he still needed to leave Russia before the authorities sentenced him for treason or for being integral to the falling Soviet Union.

Vladimir 'Spectre' Bodrovski was moved from Umbrella's European wing for unknown reasons. The premier surveillance expert of the U.S.S., he was transferred to Wolfpack when the upper echelon of Umbrella management realized his skills could greatly benefit them.

He found a home within the U.S.S., and his surveillance skills have regularly ensured that the corporation stays well informed and that the Wolfpack keeps the upper hand in combat situations.

[softluci]

hello yes can i just say i l o v e d your gen z hcs and may i acquire more

for starters, i am not religious, but i am PRAYING you don’t think i was ignoring your ask. i’ve been thinking about it since i got it, it’s just that i’m a college student with worms for brains, so hopefully you understand. this is something that i’ve had on my mind for a long time [i’ve been at this on and off for months], and it most definitely can be associated with/attributed to gen z. 

for a fleeting, wonderful period of time, there was a trend on tiktok that went, “buss it, buss it…” are you familiar? 

that should be enough of a summary, right? ah—for future reference, “o7” is like a saluting emote, for anyone who might not know. reader is g/n as usual, enjoy!

[a/n: so because this is so long, this part is going to be, like, the lore, and then the actual headcanons will be right here]

trendy 

the two things most corrosive to the human spirit are easily named—capitalism and boredom. while it would be easier and less taxing to explain the former, the latter was the problem at hand. it’s not that there was nothing to do in the devildom—quite the opposite, actually—it was just that you wanted some time to yourself every now and again. the trouble with trying to take time for yourself in a completely new location, the residents of which are always enamored with you in one way or another, is that there isn’t anything to do. the house was full of adventures for you to take—the trap door under the rug in the library, the other trap door under the dining room table, the small door behind the couch in the living room, and whatever other poorly hidden doors your seven roommates thought you didn’t know about. 

trouble was, you didn’t want to leave your room. you, intelligent creature that you are, knew that the chances of you running into mammon or satan or beel or asmo were all too high, and even higher were the chances of you agreeing to spend time with them if they asked, and you knew they would. what were you to do? 

you stared at your ceiling from your bed, d.d.d. resting on your stomach as you let your mind wander. your d.d.d. was full of things for you to do, the devildom’s ethernet at your fingertips, but you weren’t interested in finding new things right now. you wanted something familiar, like—like your phone. 

what was the point of lucifer taking your phone, anyway? it’s not like you could use it—being here rendered it a useless brick of glass and metal, so it wouldn’t have been a big deal if you still had it. it was funny, though, that you couldn’t use your actual phone when it was still possible to access the human internet from down here. 

at least, you assumed so. 

how else would levi be able to keep up with his human idols, get tickets for their shows—the works, you know? luckily, you were fully capable of asking. 

d.d.d. now in your hand, you rolled onto your stomach and found your messages with levi, nails clacking against the glass as you tried to reach him.

hey, you texted, can you help me with something?

his reply came faster than you expected: ?? what do you need 

how do i access human websites and apps, you asked, rolling onto your side. you know how to, right?

lololol, it’s not possible :p

a grunt, more aggravated than you’d care to admit, escaped from the back of your throat.

don’t lie. 

a few minutes passed with no response, and you wondered if you were too harsh. 

“he’s a sensitive guy,” you mumbled, inhaling deeply. “i probably came on too strong or something.” 

just as you started typing out an apology and a, “forget i ever said anything,” you got a response. 

a vpn and a proxy site. 

a smile crept onto your face as air came out of your nose, the closest thing to a laugh you could muster. 

can you set it up for me? 

after another few minutes of no response, you sit up, wondering how you could’ve possibly fucked up a second time, your d.d.d. buzzed. 

levi sent you a file and a link, with a host of instructions. 

click on the file and it’ll take you to the vpn you need to download. don’t worry about bugs or anything, i made it myself. 

you let out a low whistle, flopping onto your back once more. 

“this guy gets up to more than i thought,” you said, eyebrows raised. “someone get this man some physical affection.” 

you continued to read, growing more fond of him with each sentence.

once you install it, pick the country whose network you want access to. from there, you’ll have a list of that country’s most used applications available for you. again, don’t worry about bugs. 

what’s the link for? you asked, excitement getting the better of you. 

for when you download internet applications. it’s added security, paste the link in before you search anything or you’ll trigger the firewall alarm. 

you blinked. 

you’ll trigger the what? 

i’ll trigger the fucking What? 

levi’s response was the fastest one yet: the Fucking Firewall Alarm. barbatos’ design. he has no idea i know how to bypass it. just do what i said. don’t try to solve any potential issues on your own, come to me for everything.

roger that o7, you replied, thanks levi ^_^

yeah, yeah. come to my room for a hxh binge tomorrow night.

you snorted. what a fucking nerd—in the greatest way possible. 

of course bestie :] ily

ily2 normie -_- 

in his room, unbeknownst to you, levi felt like he made a mistake of some kind. it’s not that he didn’t trust you, it’s just that you had a tendency to end up in undesirable situations, even if it wasn’t always on purpose. he was probably just worried over nothing, or so he tried to tell himself, but whatever. this isn’t even about him.

you sat up once more, this time leaning against your pillows as you started setting everything up. everything went so quickly that you barely wondered if all of this—subverting hell’s firewall, personally designed by a man eerily similar to a 2D crush from when you were in middle school—was worth accessing a few silly apps from the human world. 

a few minutes later, your d.d.d. now a much, much cooler copy of your phone, any and all thoughts of regret and hesitation were absent from your mind. 

your first order of business on your upgraded d.d.d. was logging into your tiktok account, however surprising it was that you even remembered the password. you put your headphones in and adjusted your volume, going back into the dumpster fire that is your for-you page with open arms. 

after around half an hour of stifled laughter and small, offended gasps from being targeted by the algorithm, you came across a rare dancing video. the person on your screen was in casual clothes, making minor, silly dance movements as the music dwindled, only for them to drop into a squat in time with the music, suddenly dolled up. you shot forward, taken aback by their transformation and by their dancing post beat drop. did you watch it on a loop for a few minutes? well, that’s nobody’s business but yours. you clicked on the sound in hopes of finding similar videos, and much to your relief, there were plenty. about ten videos in, a smile still on your face, you got an idea. 

you slipped your headphones out, arbitrarily looking around your room, before whispering to yourself, “i could—i could do that. i could totally do that.” 

and you were right. you had nice clothes and makeup from various shopping occasions with asmo. your room had led strips, courtesy of levi ordering the wrong ones and being so kind as to give them to you. you could do it. 

levi was the only person you’d spoken to since you retreated to your room a few hours ago, and the lights have been off the entire time, which meant that if you worked quietly enough, everyone else had reason enough to assume you were asleep. good! how could you possibly explain what you were doing getting all dolled up at, like, 11:00 on a wednesday night? you couldn’t, even a little bit—not in a way that convinced anyone, anyway. 

come midnight, you were sitting cross legged on your bed, watching your final product. not to be vain or anything, but you were looking very respectfully at yourself. since when could you move like that, anyway? the wonders of being alone, you supposed. 

you didn’t post it publicly, electing to save it as a draft just so it would save to your d.d.d. maybe you’d post it once you were back in the human world, when your friends wouldn’t swarm your comments asking where the fuck you were. 

yeah, lucifer told you, “everything was taken care of,” but regardless of whether or not you believed him, you knew it wasn’t a good idea to risk finding out if he missed something. 

boredom creeping up on you again, you elected to go through the messages on your d.d.d. it would be better to make yourself laugh before you were fully bored again, right? you stood up and stretched, opening the group text with the adults. luke doesn’t know about it; he thinks the one with everyone is the main one, and everyone lets him think that so he feels included. 

walking around your room in small circles, you scrolled up to the older conversations and read through them, rolling your eyes and chuckling to yourself. very rarely did they talk about anything of importance. it was mostly diavolo, barbatos, and simeon making quips and jokes at lucifer’s expense for everyone to see. it was gold in its purest form. 

you contemplated sending one of the many cursed things sitting in your camera roll, just to keep them on their toes, but just after opening your gallery, you resigned not to, figuring it would be best to leave him alone. 

you stretched again, the hold on your d.d.d. a bit looser this time. it nearly slipped out of your hands, but you caught it, tossing it onto your bed. as soon as you resigned to start getting ready for bed, you turned back around and picked it up. 

there was no rhyme or reason to your actions; if someone in that moment were to ask you why you did it, you would’ve said, “just ‘cause.”

human intuition is a wonderful thing.

your d.d.d. was still on, still open to the group chat. you’d sent something, evidently a second ago, as indicated by the time stamp. the thumbnail was of you, in casual clothing—the casual clothing you were wearing before you got dolled up, actually. huh. 

huh. 

the weight of your mistake came crashing down on you in full force, a chill sinking into your skin and running up your spine.

you were suddenly acutely aware of the concept of time, how it was of the essence and you had absolutely none to waste.

what were you to do? it wouldn’t be long before your favorite person saw it. you had to do something. 

you could say nothing. you could tell the truth and say it was an accident and that you were embarrassed, but that was even worse than saying nothing because it meant you were set to be the target of teasing you didn’t even wanna try to imagine. you could say it was an accident and be confident about it, telling them, “enjoy!” but that was a dangerous game to play, and you knew it. 

well, i do admire you for taking time to think, but, unfortunately, there was a checkmark next to your message. oh, a number as well—eleven. you just can’t catch a break. what were they all doing up at this time, anyway? it was a school night🤨. 

[goldemas1244]

Heyyyy I have a question :3

Do you have any headcanon/s for these character : Scraptrap, Scrap Baby, Lady Dimistrecu, the three daughter of Lady D, Heisenberg and/or Molten Freddy ? :3

You don't have to do all the proposition, you can choose what character you want to do :3

Have a good day/evening and stay safe ! :3

*Cracks knuckles* \(^v^)/

You already know I'm doing all of them! Thank you for the ask! Headcanons under the cut!

FNaF6

Scraptrap

He loves rice and would do anything to get his paws on it. Fortunately, the pizzeria is quite close to a Chinese restaurant so rice is easy to get.

He orders a rice-based menu at least three times a week, so the owners aren't at all that surprised to see a tuxedo-clad zombie-rabbit come in and ask for their signature fried rice with buttered lobster on the side.

Since he like to dine-in there, he usually asks Michael to give him a bath in exchange for pizzeria improvements. Michael usually shrugs and gives him a well-deserved bubble bath and his tuxedo.

He likes it when Michael gives him head pats and rubs. It makes him feel loved and appreciated.

He has a pet pigeon named Fernando Buschmann. It's German and likes to listen to the violin.

He likes ASMR and memes. ASMR makes him go feral with murderous intent while memes make him question the modern generation.

He has social media accounts, all named "Willton-Moldover". He usually posts cosplays and furry art on them and has 93 followers on his Reddit profile, 1.5 million followers on his Instagram, 550 followers on his Tumblr, 35 on his Snapchat, and 3.95 million on his TikTok.

He also has a YouTube channel with 10.784 million subscribers called "Willton-Gameover". He plays videogames one-handed and roasts popular YouTubers and famous people. He would never roast Keanu Reeves though, because Keanu Reeves is precious bean.

Due to his popularity he gets a lot of hate mail and private pics. He doesn't like them at all so he blackmails the people who post them. And if the media and police are involved? Well, he has a strong fanbase that's not going down as well as a good alibi so that works out well for him.

Yes, his fanbase also knows of the Fazbear Murders, and he admits to it but frankly, he's shown them the approving ghost kids (who've bonded and gamed with him) so that's no big deal. Only Cassidy hates him, but it's usually constipated anger.

He's bisexual and has an ENORMOUS crush on one of his favourite game characters, Karl Heisenberg. Something about that man reminds him of himself and Henry, although he's not sure what. Still, don't let that distract you from the fact that he owns a nude Karl Heisenberg body pillow, CAPCOM official.

Scrap Baby

Her favourite Monster High doll is Draculaura. She doesn't understand how pink goes well with black but oh boy, pink goes so well with black.

She knows how to skateboard like a pro. Despite her weight, her trusty skateboard still stands and, if she falls, she's always got her skates to spare. She likes to impress the boys at the skatepark with her ability to perform even the most difficult of moves with ease.

She's subscribed to fifteen different tabloid subscriptions. She likes to read them and criticize the stupidity of the human race, like her father. Hey, it's hereditary.

The lights in her boobies glow in the dark. They also glow whenever she gets tired.

She likes reading furniture and gardening catalogues. She's judgy of the prices though and usually becomes a full-on critic with Lefty listening.

She owns a crab named Mr. Tootie. No I will not elaborate on the name. I'll only tell you that it's taken a liking to kazoos and party favours.

She's listed as the No. 1 Best Fan of her father's social media accounts. Michael's in nineteenth place but don't worry, he's as emotionless as a mushroom.

She likes to make origami lotuses. She's such a pro at it that she's even got a mini-stall at the pizzeria: 1 lotus for 50 cents. It's a lucrative business, and it's still growing. Oh, and she switches to other origami works of art every week such as origami guns and origami nine-tailed foxes.

She's the Restaurant Rescue manager. Usually she saves kids from trouble. For this reason, yes, she's commonly seen in the pizzeria itself. Kids love her though the claw worries the more irksome parents.

She's a professional Karen dealer. Karen comes to see the manager? She's hypnotically talented in weaving her words through the toughest of craniums so don't be surprised if a Karen walks out with a new viewpoint of life.

She performs on stage on the occasion, which usually gets her a lot of fan love. She cherishes everything good they give but ignores the problematic everythings. Problematic stuff? Oh, she's good friends with the police chief.

Molten Freddy

He loves noodles. Give him a bowl of ramen and he'll shut up for the entire night. Enter him in a noodle-eating competition and his high metabolism rate means absolutely non-stop spaghetti.

He misses Bon-Bon very much. To the point where he's even tried to make a scrap version of him. Sadly, it doesn't work. He cried that day.

He dies inside whenever he finds out there's a spaghetti shortage in Utah. Poor Molten.

He's a bit wonky, but if he tries to play with you or get into your personal space, don't get mad at him! He's just lonely and wants someone to talk to and play with.

He likes to play Exploding Kittens. It's the only card game he's good at. It's also the only card game he owns.

He sees Helpy as a little brother and boops his nose on a daily basis. He also likes to reenact The Lion King with him (It's the ciiiiiircle of liiiiiife~). Hopefully Helpy doesn't mind.

He knows a lot of jokes in a lot of languages. So German-speaking Molten Freddy wouldn't be too far away from expectation. His favourite jokes are in French though; the wordplay is just immaculate.

He's good in French, English, German, Russian, and Malay. He's currently learning Japanese because he's a mega weeb.

His favourite cartoon is Charlie and Lola. He just likes to see the sibling shenanigans as it somehow reminds him of the good old days.

His favourite shows would be prankster shows. He especially loves the ones that give him new and creative ideas. He doesn't like the scary ones though. They make him feel unsafe and give him anxiety.

Surprisingly, he has a distinct taste for opera. He can modulate the remnants of his voice box to perfectly sing I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General. This both pisses off and impresses Henry to an extent.

Resident Evil 8

Lady Dimitrescu

She might act like the opposite but she really loves Heisenberg as her little brother. His determination, strength, speed, dexterity, and workaholic nature impresses her, who can't even fit through a doorway. She sometimes wishes she's as short as him too.

She's an avid collector of glass, porcelain, and anything fragile. It's a good reason to always be careful where you tread in her lair. She'll make you swallow every last shard if you don't.

She's an avid romance fanatic and is very loving towards the romance novels she owns. All those books you see in the in-game library? They're her collection of lesbian romances that she's collected over the past decades.

She doesn't like hats and prefers to stick to the one she wears in-game. She DOES have a collection of hats though. Last anyone counted, there were over fifty, one or two for each decade she's lived through.

She files her nails on a constant basis and owns an ornately decorated nail-clipper. Hygeine is of the utmost importance. She doesn't want to be compared to that filthy Heisenberg.

Despite her size and carefulness she keeps losing her stuff. Over the course of a week she could misplace three wine glasses, two reading glasses, and fifteen bottles of wine.

She's an expert at dodgeball and golf and even owns a lifetime access to the most prolific Country Club in Romania. With permission from Mother Miranda she goes there every year for the yearly party. It's one of the times she gets to see modernity (and Ed Sheeran) at its finest.

She loves bands from the 1920s and 1940s. However, she gets bored of them occasionally and switches them to something more modern, like Ed Sheeran. Seriously though, what is up with mums and Ed?

She's into executions and torture methods. So it's no surprise that she's a HUGE fan of Horrible Histories; even if she can't watch the show, she'll binge-read the books over and over again. She's even had the chance to encounter (and receive an autograph from) Terry Deary. They have sworn a bond not to tell anybody about this.

She loves exotic animals like anacondas and jaguars. She may or may not have owned a 10ft long Saltwater Crocodile (which was also about 5ft wide).

She's an incredible physicist and mathematician. She's also created many original formulae but unsurprisingly, she doesn't tell anyone about them, for fear that either more people may know of her, or that she may be wrong.

Dimitrescu Babes

They can devour an entire human being in mere seconds as flies. It's sort of like the scarab beetles in The Mummy movies. However, unlike the beetles, they are able to strip the bones as well. They leave nothing behind.

They all know how to play the piano with varying levels of success. Daniela can already play professionally while Bela is still stuck on Grade 5.

They love to listen to their mother when she tells them stories. Gotta hand it to 'em, when you're a fly, you know how to enjoy life in its most simple of moments.

They all love being around the hunky Soldats of Uncle Karl. Fortunately, they don't know of the rebellious plan to conquer Miranda.

Bela is bisexual, Cassandra is asexual and pansexual, and Daniela is demisexual.

It gets hard when you're a fly during the summer. If it's not the lizards, spiders, and other predators, it's the heat. Because of this, despite the material waste, they have invented the world's first blood-powered air conditioner.

The three girls have never ever ever touched a stove or oven in their life. They HAVE touched the hot end of an iron though. A good reason to not touch a bloody oven. Alcina has though, but doesn't tell them that.

They love puppies! Uncle Karl brought them a baby labrador. For the rest of the week Alcina had lost quite a bit of favour from them. Not that they minded of course. IT'S A PUPPY.

They don't like snow one bit. Not just because it's cold, but because it's too white. Too bright. Too shiny. They just can't focus on their prey!

They like to go over to Auntie Donna to play with Angie. Well, you know what they say, crazies attract the crazies, and the crazy has attracted the crazies.

They also like to go to Uncle Moreau's because he's the only one in the village with a PS4. Usually they'd spend about three-quarters of a day playing his games and eating his cheese.

Karl Heisenberg

He owns a dark blue armchair named Junkyard. Despite the name, he loves it dearly because it was a gift from Alcina for his twenty-first birthday. It became part of his final transformation too. Right under the hat.

He's a little blind in the right eye, much to his annoyance. It was a minor accident with Sturm; another reason for him to hate the uncontrollable wretch. He'll never live that day down.

Somehow, he sees better in the dark, which is why he wears such tinted glasses. He also wears them to hide his expressions, since, more often than not, he tends to end up wearing his heart on his sleeve, and his emotions in his eyes.

He's under a lot of pressure so it's no surprise that he breaks down in his factory when he knows he's alone. And by break down I mean crumple into an exhausted heap on the floor. Not even his Soldat Jet squad can wake him up until he's had a reasonable eight hours of rest.

He bathes once a day, every evening, but only three times a week. Perfume, tobacco, and cologne keep care of the rest.

He's the only Lord with a daily contact with the outside world due to his electrical abilities. Don't tell Miranda, but he can electrically CONNECT TO GOOGLE AND THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN GENERAL. He likes to play funny YouTube cat videos in his head when Miranda's having a boring meeting. It's also how he finds out that Chris is a boulder-punching asshole.

He does stimming! He likes to tap his fingers on his desk and the metal rails in his factory. He also buys stim toys from the Duke and keeps them in a well-kept box. His favourite is a non-ripping squishable toy duck. He also sings to chill out.

He's absolutely in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, and may have once believed in the pizzeria's existence. Come on, he's a mutated Overlord with magical magnet powers. Children souls stuck inside animatronics isn't too far-fetched of an idea. His favourite characters are the Funtimes and the Scraps, mainly because of the blueprint complexity. He HAS tried to replicate the animatronics in his spare time, but he's usually too busy with his Soldats so the project gets scrapped. He loves The Living Tombstone's songs and remixes though.

He doesn't like William Afton at all (though he marvels at his survivability). William's nature and habits remind him of Mother Miranda. He DOES however enjoy Michael Afton and often thinks how it would be absolutely amazing to have that resilient being in his Soldat army.

He's scared of what lurks below the watery depths and fire. Ironic because his brother is a literal fish and he works in one of the most hazardous fire-conducting environments. He's also scared of heights, though he doesn't get airsick.

He once died due to a killing electric shock whilst working on Sturm. It's the only time he's felt that sort of pulsing agony and also the first time he's had the confirmation that yes, Hell is real and yes, he'll end up in quite a dark pit in it. Or it could've been an electric dream, who knows? Anyways his soul apparently ran towards the opposite direction of the flames and he woke up alive after the passing of FIVE ENTIRE WEEKS. Oh boy did Alcina get worried when she couldn't find him.

Thank you for the ask! I hope you enjoy!

[streetsrot]

in the immediate weeks following the assault on arasaka tower, when v is talking to other people, her gaze wanders to the side or she'll stare through whoever she's conversing with — she always seems surprised when there's nothing out of the ordinary, as if she's expecting someone to be there

[best-enemies]

For the fandom ask meme thing can I request the whole damn alphabet or is that not very cash money of me? I’m nosy lmao I wanna know all of them!

AHDKAJSDKJAHSKDA JACK YOU’RE THE BEST

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

I’ve had my current OTP for like almost 8 years and it’s, obviously, Thoschei (Doctor/Master). My other current obsession is the Gallifrey OT4 hehehe

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

It’s funny because I didn’t ship Hannigram at first... I’d thought the idea of a cannibal having a relationship was terrifying because what if they had sex and Hannibal got hungry in the middle of the act? Lmaoooo 

But yeah they’re my endgame now. I watched the show when it first aired and I was about 14/15 years old so now you see why I thought that. Although I’m still afraid I’m gonna be reading a fic and Hannibal will suddendly bite Will’s dick off or smth AKJHSAKJSAHSASKAJ

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

Uhhh Doctor/Clara. Mainly because I don’t like to ship the Doctor with companions (there may be one or two exceptions but I don’t ship them enough to actually say I ship them lol) and I don’t know I just never vibed with it

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

Doctor/River. I mean, I did like it for a while years ago but now it’s just... eh. I think she has a waaay better chemistry with the 12th Doctor, but still don’t ship it. I might give it a try once I listen to the River audios but so far meh. I’m not much of a multishipper anyway.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

God. I’ve written a couple of Academy Era (focused on the Deca) crack fanfics and I still have to translate them to English. They’re pure garbage but I love them. I have a lot of fun writing crack fics because they’re easier and I can ignore whatever piece of canon I want just for the laughs

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Guess it’s Doctor Who, been here (in and out of the fandom) for over 8/9 years

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Uhhhh I think it was Han Solo and Leia, since I was a kid really. I wanted to marry both of them lol

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)

I had to google what a source text is and still don’t know

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

I don’t think so, but Twitter definitively has. I remember a couple years ago I was curious to see what voltron was about and watched a few episodes, it was ok, fun and cute but the fandom was so annoying I stopped watching it for good and don’t care about it enough to pick it up again

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

I had definitively forgotten about supernatural until I saw it all over my dashboard in the year of our lord 2020 lmao like in my wholock days I tried to watch the show because everyone on my dash (is it still called dashboard?) was talking about it and I watched about 8 episodes before dropping it. But seeing it again on the dash was actually a happy surprise because the memes are too funny hahaha

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms

I’m extremely shy irl and on the internet as well but I wanna say that  @janeturenne is one of the best authors ever and her fanfics are a blessing in my life; also @thebraxiatelcollection who brings awesome content to my dash and is also one of the best authors. And of course, you, Jack, also one of the best authors god I’m so BLESSED

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)

Uhhh I guess I’m neutral about the current companions. They’re not my favorites but I don’t really dislike them - they had a lot of potential and chibs came up with some good storylines but did not develop them well in my opinion. I think Graham is a fun grandpa whom I’m going to miss when he leaves; Ryan is cool and could’ve done a lot more if the writers had kept a few things, it’d be awesome if he vlogged all of their adventures. He’s like the one I was curious to see more but sadly didn’t feel a connection; and Yaz, I hope she’ll keep growing and that her friendship with the Doctor will finally be developed to a level we can connect to her.

It sounds weird because with the fam it’s always ‘what I wish could have been’ because I never felt really connected to them :(

M - Say something genuinely nice about a ship that you don’t ship (or its shippers, or anything related to you)

Ok... I don’t really ship Rey/Finn but I think it’s one of the sweetest ships ever, and if they ended up together I’d be happy. They love each other and are there for each other always so, yeah :D

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

I don’t know if I got the question right but it’s three things I wish I saw more in my main fandom? Well, if it’s that, then, 3 things about the Doctor Who fandom: 1) people having more civilized or light-hearted discussions about things. Like, I genuinely disliked an 8th doctor audio I listened once that my friends loved, and they made fun of me and we joked about it. Also once we were in a live twitch video playing among us and discussing doctor who, and then we got into a ship “discourse” as a joke and nobody really cared and just laughed because everyone knew it’s fictional shit so why get mad over it? 2) Doctor Who has a titanic amount of content, it’s all canon but at the same time it’s not, so who cares? If you want to listen to Big Finish audios and if you can afford it, then lisiten; if you can’t, it’s okay, no one has the right to tell you you’re less of a fan. Just tell them to fuck off; 3) The best way to keep fandom alive is by creating content. Here in my local fandom we have several podcasts dedicated to all areas of the whoniverse (the show, the expanded universe, the audios, etc), those old fandom websites who do serious work to bring news to the fans, people who make subtitles for the classic series (we don’t have it available here so they do their best to make it accessible to other fans), accounts dedicated to promoting dr who fans who create content, and we even have people making their own audiodramas with dw characters and writing book-lenght fanfiction to help explain the show to people who’ve never watched it, and a great variety of things. I’ve seen a few of these things in the international fandom, mostly by older fans, so I wish younger fans about my age who have the means to make this kind of stuff would make it too. Maybe there’d be less twitter drama out there lol

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

“the killing moon” by echo & the bunnymen reminds me of thoschei. yep it was totally random

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

The fact that we don’t have a pride and prejudice AU for brax/romana yet is driving me insane

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

I’ve mentioned it before but doctor/river, don’t really remember why idk I just don’t vibe with it anymore. But also because thoschei has so many different pairings in 1 ship that I don’t really feel the need to ship them with anyone else lol

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

GOD I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT’S SO SPECIFIC ok fellow academy era stans gather around if you have read Divided Loyalties there’s a scene where it SHOWS that Magnus had a crush on Ushas. And NO ONE HAS EVER TALKED ABOUT THEM and the power couple they would’ve made. I write them into all my fanfics in hopes of making other people ship them but I’ve had no success so far

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

The Master is a big fan of musicals and in the 77 years he spent on earth he watched every single one ever. I’m gonna be bold and say that when he was young, still Koschei, he was an artist, and thought about dropping everything to become an actor on Gallifrey. Time Lords do appreciate art, and have their own plays, but it’s just the same old and boring ones the young people don’t care about. The Master then created a shocking performance that was way ahead of its time and the older Time Lords were so appalled they banned him from writing and presenting plays and that’s his villain origin story

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

1) The Doctor and the Master married on Gallifrey and the entire show is just them having the most litigious divorce in the universe (still isn’t final because the Master has killed all the judges); 2) Ushas/The Rani is ace; 3) The Deca was a 10 people polyamorous relationship; 4) Romana and Livia were girlfriends at the Academy and they hate each other now because the break up was baad; 5) Romana writes fanfiction; 6) Romana/Leela had a thing in Davidia I KNOW it; 7) Leela pegs Narvin; 8) Brax has a life-size painting of Romana at his collection or a statue or smth; 9) Brax’s dream in Reborn is actually REAL and he’s married to Romana, Leela and Narvin all at the same time

U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

I don’t even think I’m in 5 fandoms but

Doctor Who: The Master, The Doctor, Romana, Leela, Sarah Jane, Bill (this was the hardest thing ever)

The X-Files: Mulder, Scully, Monica, and can I add The Lone Gunmen too?

Star Wars: Leia, Obi-Wan, Finn, Poe Dameron and honorable mention to Din Djarin and Grogu

Hannibal: Hannibal, Will, Bev, Alana, Chiyoh

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

That’s hard

Doctor Who: thoschei ofc, gallifrey ot4.......... uuhh as you can see i don’t ship many pairings in the show

The X-Files: Mulder and Scully. And whatever Scully and Monica had going on because they definitively flirted

Star Wars: Poe/Finn, Han/Leia, whatever Han/Lando had going on too

W - 5 favorite ships and 5 kinks you like best for said ships

WHATVASHAJSKAJSA ok this is a little embarassing but I don’t have a lot of kinks for many ships... I guess I have some for thoschei like, choking, whipping, blindfolds/gagging, bondage, begging, biting, sem-public, phone sex, dirty talk, body worship, praise kink, etc. Alright alright I know it’s a lot but in my defense they've shown half of these on the show

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

The Master, Romana, Leela, Brax, Narvin, Bill Potts, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane, Donna Noble, Lucie Miller. No particular order for most of them but the Master is my precious baby and I will die for this mf

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Not many, usually the people I follow are in the same fandoms as I am but I’ve seen some mutuals reblog some Hadestown stuff which is a play that I’ve never seen but definitively would because the protagonists look hot 

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

I DON’T KNOW WHAT DOES IT MEAN

it took me three hours to do this but it was fun!! thank you bb <3

                                                               History 

1929 and Russia had conquered Ukraine not nine years past. The two states had been forced to settle into co-existance as the Soviet Union oversaw both boundaries. With ties and treaties came peace talks, trades and agreements. At a meeting like so many others Soviet Member Nikolai Kuryakin met Ukranian Svoda Party Member Valeriya Atekha - Only Daughter of Davjid Atekha, high ranking member of the union. 

>> Two weeks after the political affair the pair are noted to be at a private dinner together. Confirmation shows permission of guardians and a formal agreement for courtship with multiple private contacts between them. The two seem close, prospect for inter party relations are high. 

1930 and the pair have been in exclusivity for a year with talks of Marriage. Nikolai rises steadily within his party with consistent support, becoming an executive accountant for party funds within that time. 

>> The two are said to have been inseparable, Davjid giving multiple statements of pleasure at his daughters happiness and an agreeable union. Public showings of the pair are loving, a picture of health. 

>> Despite actions their union is genuine. This knowledge will later be used to grant V. Kuryakin her life.

1931 and the now married couple announce a child is born. A boy named Illya. The two travel abroad to celebrate, visiting family and and respective party members.

>> It is now believed that these frequent family travels were used to discuss alternate agendas. Evidence provided shows them as a cover for embezzlement and meetings with enemy of state. It is unkown when the pair became traitors of their respective parties but it is the belief of many that they had been since joining, with the intention to do internal harm upon approval of withheld information. 

1939 and the Second World War is declared. Despite the countries stance political chaos begins within the ranks. For two years from this date N. Kuryakin sends his wife and child to remain with her father in Ukraine. Reasons unkown. 

>> It is now believed the intention was to remove familial ties from soviet grasp to the best of his ability, attempting to bypass Russian Jurisdiction with immunity from her family name. This action failed.

1941 the formal investigation into Soviet Party Embezzlement begins. N. Kuryakin alongside two other accountants [ redacted ] , [ redacted ] are formally under investigation with potential to be charged. Valeriya and Illya are returned to Russia for the remainder of this as potential suspects themselves. 

1943 and Nikolai Kuryakin is charged with Embezzling Party Funds in order to aid Enemies of State and War Criminals, including those of Jewish Origin, Known Homosexual’s, Alt-party allies, Out of Country tax and intention to escape justice. 

Valeriya is charged with protecting a criminal and stripped of her possessions and title her life is spared on loyalty of marriage. On house arrest for a minimum of five years with community rehabilitation. Illya is removed from her custody for one year for mandatory reintroduction of Soviet society.

>> The Atekha Family formally cut ties with Valeriya at time of charge. She is refused assets and accounts. Left with only the family home due to having a child. She is stripped of her party rank, Illya is removed from the party registry. They are publicly shamed. 

1944 and Nikolai Kuryakin arrives at Gulag, the last communications between him and his family are received. He is given a life sentence.

>> This is the first medically stated instance of potential psychosis in the child. An attack on two older boys that ended with formal charges later stripped by [ redacted ] and dismissed. 

1946 the Kuryakin family are declared bankrupt. The first public knowledge of prostitution are noted. Illya is excelling within education, his potential is funded by outside sources [ redacted ]

1948 Valeriya is hospitalised after an attack at her home. Multiple fractures and breaks as well as bleeding on the brain. Her visit is paid for by [ redacted ]. She will not recover. 

1951 is the last recorded visit to Valeriya, the visitor is unkown though believed to be her son.  Do not Resuscitate is formally stated on her files by a third party advocate.

1951 Valeriya dies in a fit due to pressure on the brain. Doctors note an unpresidented expand in life length thanks to suitable medical practice. Her body is collected and death certificate filed. No place of Burial is given. 

>> Now know that Illya had his mother laid to rest in Ukrain. Alongside her is a stone for Nikolai despite his death being unconfirmed. Updated reports regard the attack as an inebriated KGB agent, it is believed past funding may have come as a formal agreement before inducting Illya into the agency. Letters detailing the incident were passed to Gulag, it is unconfirmed if Nikolai knew of his wifes passing.

Note ; Subject ; Waverly confirms that KGB still refuses to give confirmation on the status of Nikolai Kuryakin. U.N.C.L.E has now placed the marker of MIA onto his title. He is marked Deceased in 1970. 

[arielle0808]

Can I request hc's with RFA+minor trio reacts to a MC whos a white/black-hat-hacker (it's up to you ^^).

Wooo! That’s an interesting MC!!

Here it goes~ I really hope you like it!

Thank you for your request!

Yoosung

At first, he thought MC was kidding. Another hacker in the RFA? Impossible!

But then, they hacked into his LOLOL account to prove it.

“It’s amazing!!” Yoosung exclaimed.

“You know, Yoosung, it’s not that big of a deal…” MC chuckled.

“I have an idea,” Yoosung grinned.

That’s how MC ended up hacking into Seven’s LOLOL account. It took them about three days because the other hacker wouldn’t allow them access that easily, but they finally beat him up.

All those items Seven had managed to get in a legally dubious way were stolen from him one by one.

Yoosung jumped in happiness. MC was the Robin Hood of hackers and LOLOL users!

“Thank you, MC!! I love you!!!”

His MC is the best!

Zen

“Congratulations, Zen!” MC exclaimed. “You’ve got the role you auditioned for yesterday.”

“Wait, what!? How…? What?!”

Zen was so shocked he couldn’t even get happy at MC’s announcement.

“I hacked into the theatre’s files since I couldn’t wait to know, for sure, if they had given it to you. Not that I doubted you.”

“MC, you what?!”

Zen didn’t like it when MC hacked to find out stuff like that, but they didn’t seem able to help themselves (admitedly, though, it came in handy from time to time, and he enjoyed the attention).

When he had heard MC was a hacker, he had freaked out, imagining them in a dangerous profession similar to Seven’s, but then MC had explained that they worked for the government, so their work was actually legal, and he had felt more relieved.

Besides, their habilities with computers came in handy taking into account that Zen was awful with them.

Jaehee

She had been wary of MC at first when the RFA found out about their profession. When she had learnt that they were actually a white hat, though, she had felt at ease.

MC usually sent her messages directly to her computer when she worked for Jumin cheering her up, and that always made her day.

Whenever Jumin was unreasonable, MC threatened him to shut down all the IT services in C&R. Jumin knew they could do it.

Having a hacker friend is not that bad after all~

And when they opened the cafeteria together, MC used to to hack into the files of famous cafés to find out which new recipes they were going to launch and be ahead of them. Jaehee, though, didn’t like that and MC was scolded.

They would play fair if that’s what their girlfriend wanted :3

Jumin

He really liked it. He felt that every time he used his computer, he was closer to MC.

Which turned out to the true, since he didn’t even have to tell them about his important meetings with other companies when he went back home.

“I hacked into the security cameras and heard it all! Well done, Jumin!”

She would offer him to spy other companies, but Jumin refused. No foul play!!

MC shrugged. They just enjoyed hacking!

As Jaehee, he would receive encouraging messages to his computer and his desk wallpaper would be changed from time to time to a selfie of MC with Elizabeth that they had just taken.

707

When he tried to find information about MC, they counteracted hiding it. Until he threatened to kick them out of the RFA, that is. MC would have been able to hack their way back into the system, but they wanted to make friends!

Hacking contests. The winner receives three bags of HBC.

They hack into the other’s LOLOL account to steal items from each other.

But the one who suffers the most is Yoosung. The hackers won’t stop messing with him.

Erasing Seven’s identity from the agency was easier thanks to MC.

If they decided to unite forces to conquer the world, they would be able to.

V

He doesn’t really mind MC’s profession as long as they stay safe.

Nevertheless, their skills as hacker were very useful when they escaped Mint Eye, not only because MC made it more difficult for the believers to follow their tracks, but also because they kept a watch on V’s phone so that they didn’t do anything stupid.

Would have also hacked into the bomb in Mint Eye and stop it from detonating.

V had so many questions. Since he had lived Seven’s training to become a hacker, he wanted to know if theirs had been similar and why had they chosen that job.

MC just shrugged. They just enjoyed it.

If that’s what they wanted, V would have been supportive.

Saeran

He hid it from Rika in fear that she would want them to work from her in Mint Eye as Saeran substitute. Later on, he was glad he did so for MC’s own good.

As with V, going out of Mint Eye was easier.

They would help him finding Saeyoung, for which he would be really thankful. Working together, they would find him immediately and erase his identity from the agency’s and the twin’s father’s files.

He felt invincible next to MC.

Vanderwood

As V, he would have lots of questions to ask them after living Seven’s improvement as hacker.

He would ask MC to prank Seven and to scare him as revenge for all those times he had messed with Vanderwood.

Always telling Seven how MC was better than him, though if Seven made funny comments about “how proud Vandy was of his beloved,” he would be threatened with tassing.

“I’m glad not all hackers are like 707.”

He would call them from their hacker name. It was some kind of a turn on e.e

Cybertronian AIs

All in all, in a few continuities there seem to be a few different types of cybertronian AIs that have appeared. So I’m going to through a mix of canon and headcanon try piece them, their origins and their roles all together for the aligned continuity:

General: Pre-war, the creation of AIs was only allowed if it was officially sanctioned by the council itself, with the promise that any illegal AIs created would be destroyed and the one who created it severely punished. 

These AIs once created, much like actual cybertronians, are immediately assigned a particular role depending on their type to which they are too attend without deviation and any who do not perform to satisfaction- whether that’s simply underperforming or showing too much individually for their liking- will be “scrubbed”, returned to a blank slate which can be tweaked to ensure that such a deviation does not happen again.

This threat, along with conditioning is why seeing outliers from the descriptions below are extremely rare.

How common an AI was depended on their type, albeit ironically in what manner flipped when the war arrived.

Before war the more advanced the AI type, the less common, but when the war arrived the more advanced the AI type the more capable they were off fending off hostile cyberattacks and as such they became more common as the less advanced and defensive capable were successfully hacked and wiped out.

The general public attitude towards these AIs ranged from neutral to negative.

Those who saw them as potentially of use and those who were perturbed by them and saw them as taking jobs that could instead have being filled by- “actual people”. There were also those who disagreed with the creation of artificial life who lacked any sort of real Primus-given spark on a religious level too.

Teletraans:

Teletraan programmes are the usual “starting point” for AIs, their programming being directly derived from Vector Sigma. These AIs are fully sentient, and are invariably used to assist in the running and monitoring of large ships and bases.

They do not however frequently talk, often only doing so when it is strictly necessary and any of them making use of a holomatter avatar is extremely rare.

This is because their assigned role does not strictly include dealing with people: they are to manage the ships and bases themselves, not the teams that may be stationed on them. That leadership role is allocated to someone else, whether a cybertronian or a T-AI.

To differentiate between which Teletraan is which, they officially use registration numbers- so you will get Telatraan I, Teletraan II and so forth. The higher the number, indicates how early on they were created- for example I would be older than II.

However, despite that the number of a Teletraan does not technically indicate rank, as a Teletraan V could easily be created to be assigned to a much larger base than that Teletraan III manages, depending on what is required when Teletraan V is developed.

Of all AI types, Teletraans are the rarest, very few being created. However, percentage wise they also suffered much less casualties than any other AI type, due to having the highest defensive capabilities.

The most prominent wartime Teletraan is that of Teletraan-I, the eldest who was also used to pilot the Ark, which carried many Autobot survivors off of Cybertron once rendered uninhabitable. 

T-AIs:

All T-AIs (”Tactical-Artificial-Intelligence”) are “daughter-programmes” of a Teletraan, being derived from their programming just as a Teletraan is derived from Vector Sigma.  Like Teletraans, they are also fully sentient.

These AIs are used to run and co-ordinate teams and operations rather than any particular ship or base. Where Teletraans manage “home” operations their daughter-programmes manage “away” operations. 

As a result of them directly having to manage people, T-AIs are much more “social” than the Teletraans are. They will frequently engage in direct interactions with their assigned workers, possessing holomatter avatars which are used to assist in that endeavour.

As such, it is not uncommon for a T-AI and those operating under them to become relatively attached to each other, which in turn is why the those belonging to the T-AI type were the most common AIs to be scrubbed pre-war, when that empathy became apparent to their superiors as it began to impact their performance.

To differentiate which T-AI is which, Iaconian letters were used. So you would get the equivelant of T-AI-A and T-AI-B. On top of that, for convenience these letters would usually according to protocol be automatically be visible somewhere on a T-AIs holomatter avatar, so who they are should still be visible on sight. 

Overall, before the war T-AIs were more common than Teletraans, but still not common. There were 26 letters in the Iaconian alphabet and as such a maximum of 26 T-AIs.

During the war, their numbers were cut significantly. This is both due to their tactical positions making them priority targets, as well as a direct mistake of the council allocating a T-AI to monitor the growing Decepticon insurgency via monitoring several mines, without taking into account their tendency to become attached to their charges.

This resulted in a traitor who enabled the deletion of several sister-programmes before being discovered. Which in turn made the council much more prone to pre-emptively getting rid of T-AIs to prevent a repeat situation.

The most prominent AI during the wartime is that of T-AI-A, the eldest who helped co-ordinate the teams and tactics of the Elite Guard

NAVIs:

“Daughter-programmes” of T-AIs, who are only about mid-tier in terms of sentience.

NAVIs are provided with default faux “personalities” once first commissioned which can range from purely logical to bubbly, depending on the preference of whomever is commissioning them. Whatever the personality however, they will still follow whatever orders are given to them and are incapable of even considering disregarding them.

That said, older ones have been known on occasion to develop quirks that are not part of their pre-programmed personality, as well as occasionally express opinions about orders, even if they still cannot disobey them.

Their roles in which they receive these orders to fulfil, are essentially to be the glorified navigation system and pilots of small to medium sized ships. Unlike T-AIs they do not possess any authority over any crew on-board, they simply take the ship where they are told to.

They do possess holomatter avatars which can respond to the crew, but they’re generally only used when the NAVIs presence was directly requested, rather than them casually engaging with anyone.

They do not possess official unique names to designate them, as there is not generally a seen need to name a navigation system and the only reason they will ever possess one is if they are given a nickname by crew.

NAVIs are far more common than T-AIs, many having been created during the Golden Age to help automate ships to seek out potential colony worlds and them continuing to be used even after to assist in transport and attempts to re-establish contact.

But attitude towards what to do with them shifted during the war depending on what part of the war it was. Initially the response was to try hack them in order to obtain ship files they may have access too, as well as destroy them in an effort to sabotage warships. 

As NAVI only possessed mid-tier sentience their defensive capabilities were significantly lacking in comparison to more advanced AIs, this hugely cut down their numbers, resulting in the once plentiful type becoming quite rare by the time of the Exodus.

But the Exodus is when attitudes towards them shifted, with many cybertronians scrambling for a way to get off world and not many knowing how to pilot a ship well enough to be able to do just that. As such, they quickly became a valued resource as a potential ticket off of an uninhabitable world.

A well-known NAVI from the wartime is that of Navi-ko, the pilot of the Decepticon ship known as “Darksyde”. Part of the reason for Navi-ko being so well-known is not just association via the ship they pilot, but also their eventual upgrade to becoming a drone.

I-QUEUE:

Derived from NAVIs, these AIs do not possess any sentience at all.

They are organising systems who manage and answer questions regarding archives, all the while being incapable of coming up with any unique or creative thoughts or opinions about these archives.

They will answer anyone who asks about these archives, not differentiating between faction or caste unless files are explicitly classified.

But as it was, their access to such archives still made them targets of cyberattacks during the war, by those seeking to either gain the archives they possessed or eliminate them before others could gain access to those archives.

Due to their complete lack of sentience or individuality, no particular I-QUEUE was prominent during the war.

Drones:

What defines a drone is that they are any sort of artificial intelligence that inhabits a sparkless cybertronian body.

They cannot be classed as any of the above AIs because being in a cybertronian body and operating with a cybertronian processor has a significant impact on the way that the AI functions.

For example, the inevitability of non or mid-level sentient AIs such as I-QUEUEs and NAVIs eventually gaining full sentience the longer they spend in a body, albeit that takes a significant, gradual time to develop.

They also tend to be very childlike and naïve when that sentience first develops, lacking much life experience, which means that they still continue to be very easily manipulated and told what to do.

This development of full sentience is not generally believed within the cybertronian populace to be true however, just as it isn’t with regular sentient AIs, due to them still lacking any spark which most cybertronians take as a must to indicate true mechanical life.

Very few of them had ever even met any drones, which could have persuaded them to think otherwise if they did.

This is because drones were always very, very rare pre-war Cybertron, being rarely created and even more rarely surviving long after that creation, due to the resulting treatment of them being classed as disposable.

They became slightly more common during the war with scientists such as Shockwave seeking to boost the number of available workers and soldiers, but there were still at most about a handful of them. 

But people tend to think them much more common than they actually are.

Especially so as the term “drone” also became the insulting term for bots said to simply, unquestionably follow along with whatever role they were assigned. This in turn occasionally results in confusion, with people not always being sure which sort of drone someone actually is.

Examples of notable genuine drones include the former NAVI, Naviko and the human created Nightbird.

Whether or not chimeras Cylas and Novo also class as drones too or just as chimeras is also a matter of debate.
