Dead Rock Chapter 16 Livestream Discussion/Review: The Afternoon Portion

The Field Day Massacre known Dead or Alive is still underway as Mikoto is currently engaged in combat against Boltogar, on of the 4 Demon Teachers where it's revealed that our favorite necromancer has a secret that this entire time she was an agent in a secret organization known as Ghost. A revelation that left the Krakken user shook to the absolute core, and where Mikoto really plays her hand into securing a strength of dominance!

Day 15: Favorite Friendship

These two lovable idiots:

Twilight is in dire need of some lightheartedness in his life, and Franky is just the person to provide it! Franky has known him longer than anyone alive, even Handler. He accepts the grumpy spy as he is and is able to tease him without fear of reprisal. It’s always hilarious and endearing to watch their dynamic.

Franky, on the other hand, doesn’t really “need” Twilight in his life. He has plenty of other friends as we see in chapter 105. He’s well liked in the underground and just knows how to have a good time! Twilight is just one of many income sources and interesting people he associates with. The lack of pressure from Franky’s side of the friendship makes the dynamic better. It enables Franky to be more relaxed, honest, selfless, a good balance to Twilight’s high-strung, overly serious nature.

I just love how they make fun of each other in different ways, like Franky laughing at Twilight during the bullet in butt date:

And Twilight’s face in the middle panel below!! Hahahaha

And! Twilight has zero sense of humor EXCEPT when it comes to Franky. Like you can’t tell me that the opening of chapter 2 was Twilight’s best effort at making Franky into a passable wife. He HAD to be doing this as a joke!

And how about the reverse? Franky is the only friend Twilight would disguise himself as a woman for! In the Monica McBride chapter, he actually helps Franky practice dating by dressing as a hot woman!! That takes considerable effort! This is the plot of my crack fic What Friends are For, by the way.

In seriousness though, their friendship runs deep. They may not have too many serious conversations (although their two chats about not getting attached and not being able to have real relationships were quite memorable ones), but they innately trust each other. At least as much as Twilight allows himself to trust anyone. He brings Franky along as backup where no other agents are available (the art smuggling op and dressing up as SSS to interrogate Yor, for example). He won't admit that Franky is his friend (as Anya reads in his mind that time Yor says "Melinda could be like my Franky!" lol), but it's just another thing he's in denial about.

One of the most pivotal moments in Twilight's pre-spy life took place because of Franky:

This random Ostanian deserter managed to convince [Redacted] not to shoot him, actually made him laugh in the process, and then proceeded to challenge his deeply ingrained beliefs about the war and the enemy. And then, years later, somehow, they crossed paths again as an Ostanian informant and a Westalian spy. They began working together on a routine basis, poking fun at each other, and giving each other unsolicited advice. I would like to think that if either of them knew the other was in serious trouble, they would be there in a heartbeat to bail them out.

Another self plug (collab with @unhappy-sometimes): we are co-writing a parody of 21 Jump Street with Twilight and Franky as fellow WISE agents infiltrating Eden Academy as high schoolers. I daresay it's a fun read!

HYQ chapter 137

Sting and yukino are currently what every nalu fan wants for nalu🥲🥲

GIRLIE’S ALIVE!!! or whatever a robot can be (?) maybe functioning is a better word for it

they’re so cute🥹🥹🥹 lucy would do so well in edens zero, she gets along with the bots💓💓

also, plot twist?? i mean i kinda prefer this outcome compared to getting another long fight where 15 new and 15 old characters get their turns, but i also really wanna see natsu fight a dragon again (though i guess it’s coming with ignia after this)

i feel like the dormant dragon thing will turn out to have a spin where he awakens, and the whole alchemy guild will probably create some trouble, but it would be nice if they found a low-key easy solution to sealing this dragon (WHILE building up for some trouble and angst between nalu so the final fight can be completely swarmed with nalu moments)

also cana wore some cute pants on the chapter cover

[charlierejouis]

Quick Notes: Chapter 144

Let’s go!

We all know that Kris is a siscon. What’s really shocking is the name for his Ether Gear. I feel like we could have gotten a better name than “Wind Rage“.

It’s good to see that none of Oasis is dead yet. Let’s hope this stays the same.

Hey, a partnership between a member of the GIA and a rebel army allied with Shiki. Isn’t that nice?

Yikes, the Shining Stars are in a tough spot, including Homura. Hopefully, Shiki will be able to sort things out.

Or the robots fighting him can self-destruct. Okay then. Here’s hoping that training works out well.

Okay, the touches of Homura’s features being reversed is really cool. Though, someone would probably complain if they weren’t.

Character that I already love and appreciate is made cooler by taking a dark turn? I guess I can call this “the Sakura effect”.

Friendly reminder that Weisz has only recently started aiming his gun.

One of the coolest things Homura’s done in this series is split a rocket in half. Weisz’s only excuse for not remembering this would be not being there to see it. (I honestly don’t remember.)

Great detail is seeing Mirror Weisz switch his shooting stance.

Hey look, Reverse only kind of worked! I’m not so worried about it affecting this fight as I am curious if it will affect Shiki in any way. Or is that just an Overdrive thing?

Okay, we’re finally going to get a fight between Homura and one of the fan-created characters. This will be fun!

See you!

Dead Rock Chapter 15 Livestream Discussion/Review: Ghost

The Field Day Massacre known as Dead or Alive has officially begun with some key things already in place for Yakuto, Frey, Mikoto, Raizen, Zelecia, and Hani to make their marks in the stage set by the principal GOD. That also led to the gang being split up in their own separate corners one of which revolves around Mikoto coming in contact with Boltogar, one of the four demon teachers. An enemy she's had her sights set on to die since the very beginning.

Friday Check In Fumetsu no Anata e (To your Eternity) Ok so episode 3 - good lord, please, this show is god tier. I don't know if it's the aesthetics, the originality of the story line, the animation style or the music but everything about it is incredible. I wanted to buy the manga the other day but for some reason manga collecting is now everyone's hobby and everything is sold out. Will be a goal for the future. Log Horizon Finally done season 2. Took me a bit longer than usual but, life's life. I think the first season was better, as things usually are. This was fun but the second half with the moon and navigators and stuff got a bit out there, though the ending was very wholesome. I still plan to watch season 3 while i'm into it, but we'll see. It's also a pain to hop back and forth between platforms - Funimation has season 1 and 3 while crunchyroll has season 2. Which is weird. Pretty Boy Detective Club Episode 3 - I always forget how much I love the character design and the style of this show. It's so pretty!! Definitely a weird one, but very enjoyable - I also like how the "chapters" are titled and divvied up throughout the episode. So I'm a Spider So What Episode 15 - I'm kind of getting bored with this show tbh. Initially it was an interesting concept but it's fairly slow and each episode is starting to feel similar. Episode 16 - yet another massive enemy at the end, but hey, i think we're getting closer to everyone meeting and we got a direct comparison of power between the humans and the spider so that's kinda fun. Slime Diaries I'm really more excited for the new episodes of Slime -but it seems there's no new episodes until slime diaries is done - so I need to get on to watching that for now. Now Watching: One Piece - Episode 607 right now, i'll probably watch quite a few over this weekend. Kyoukai no Katanate (Beyond the Boundary) - This one is a bit of a longer term project since I want to focus on the current seasons new shows. Radiant - I will finish this in one go this time now that it's all out. Plan to Watch: Eden Zero Bakuten Mars Red Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! Shaman King Odd Taxi

You guys remember when the Fairy Tail fandom decided what Juvia put Gray through wasn’t abuse?

Good times, good times.

Well now there’s an entirely different fandom claiming this.

Granted, it’s the Edens Zero fandom, which inherited a large portion of Fairy Tail’s fanbase, but this time there’s also a big, heaping, helping of toxic masculinity in there too!

Basically, a few weeks back, Edens Zero: Chapter 124 gave us this string of panels:

Pretty innocent, right? A man, rightfully, calling Homura pretty.

Well in Chapter 130, we got this:

And, I want you guys to know that I’m not holding back any context from you. This is Creed (the man with the glasses) and Homura (the girl)’s entire relationship so far.

Literally just Creed having a crush.

Now, some people saw this and immediately flipped their shit. Because Creed isn’t “manly” enough, he’s being labelled as a “creep” and “not worthy of Homura”.

Now, those are two completely different accusations, but I wanna focus on the “creepiness”.

Creed is a space cop and Homura is a space criminal who is connected to one of the largest criminals in the galaxy and Creed’s crew is chasing after them.

So, yes, it can seem a little creepy that he has her photo................ but she’s not the only one..... Creed has photos for everyone else too.

And it’s not even like he’s perving on Homura! He’s focusing on her face and saying she’s pretty.

If that’s what’s considered “creepy”, then Juvia must be the creepiest character Mashima has ever created, right?

Apparently not.

Apparently these 9 panels are worse than 15 years of Juvia harassing Gray, combined.

And I just........................ it makes me really sad that this level of toxic masculinity still exists.

And I don’t understand how Juvia emotionally abusing Gray-

and constantly intruding on his privacy-

and completely disregarding his rejections-

I don’t understand how all of this is okay to some people, but a man getting flustered over a pretty lady isn’t.

Some of y’all really need to reassess your priorities.

Happy Halloween!

*Bonus Halloween chapter* it’s longer than normal (2k)

The biggest party in Tokyo was for a western holiday called Halloween, and the streets surrounding the heart of Shibuya that Saturday were literally crawling with a million young adults in every kind of costume you could imagine! Most of the revelers had no idea as to the origins of this holiday. All they cared about was dressing up and having a good time, including Lucy and her friends who’d dressed up as their favorite manga characters from Eden’s Zero. The businesses lining the streets in the area were used to the onslaught and welcomed it because it meant a nice chunk of revenue, while authorities did their best to control the crowds.

The group started off with Lucy, Levy, Erza, Gajeel, and Gray, but over time as others showed up or they ran into more friends, the groups numbers ebbed and flowed. Gray was the first to take off to meet his girlfriend Juvia, and once Natsu was off of work and joined them, Lucy and he split off to cruise by themselves for a while.

“Wow it’s so eerie how much you guys look like Shiki and Rebecca!”

“Thanks Mira,” Lucy blushes.

“Tch, I may look like the guy, but I’m not as dopey as him,” Natsu retorts. “He’s taking too damn long to make it official with Rebecca.”

“Don’t mind him,” Lucy giggles, “Natsu ships Shicca hard. But it’s even funnier to watch him and Gray argue over Weiszmura.”

“That’s because Gray is a blind bat who won’t admit they match!”

“Okay,” Mira laughs, “put the canons away. Are you two gonna check out the BUMP party at Womb nightclub?”

“Maybe a little later.” Lucy answers for them. “I heard they had some decent bands this year, but I’d rather go somewhere a little smaller like Sonidos.”

“Oh, yeah? Lisanna’s boyfriend Bixlow is the DJ there tonight.”

Lucy looks to Natsu, “we definitely should stop by and say hi.”

“Agreed.”

“Well it was nice bumping into you. I need to meet up with Laxus so you two have fun! I’ll catch you later!” Mira waves as she rejoins the flood of passerby’s.

Natsu takes Lucy’s hand and the couple continued walking around with no real destination. They stop in open stores to browse or grab yummy-looking finger foods from street vendors along the way. Despite the chaos around them, this was turning into a nice reprieve from their daily lives. It was already 1 am, but from the amount of activity going on, it was easy to lose track of time.

“Look, look,” Lucy points while dragging Natsu with her. “Photo booth!”

“Aww, really?” He whines, though the smile never wavered on his face.

“Yup!” She pulls him in and fishes out a bill from her wallet for the machine.

“Chi-zu!”

The pair chuckle and pose for the five shutter clicks. Each pose varying until the last one ending with a kiss from Natsu and genuinely surprised expression on Lucy’s face. It wasn’t their first kiss, but this would be a memorable one. For a few seconds as the machine printed out the slip of photos, Natsu holds her gaze, sweeping his thumb gently along her flushed cheek. There was a sense of intimacy in these confined booths where many a couple had hidden away from the public for this very kind of very moment.

“Thank you,” he smiles, eyes soft and pure of appreciation.

“For what?” Genuinely unsure of the reason.

“Giving me a second chance. These past few months have been the happiest times of my life and it’s all thanks to meeting you on that train.”

“I’m really glad too,” Lucy smiles sweetly. “Really... really glad,” she breathes out as she moves in to kiss him again.

“Excuse me?” A loud knocking sound stops them. “There’s other people waiting to use the machine!”

“Whoops. To be continued,” she gives Natsu just a quick peck and the pair get out of the booth. They apologize to the next group in line and race off hand in hand, laughing. That had been exhilarating!

Lucy’s heart was still racing even though they were long gone from the photo booth. She and Natsu had been taking things extra slow because of her earlier concerns. Aside from dates and a few kisses here and there, they’d never gone much further and she wondered who was the one holding back. Was it really her or was it actually him because he was too nervous to lose her? Tonight... in that booth... if they weren’t in public... her body flushes wildly just from the thought of it. Okay, so maybe she’s been dying to take their relationship further. Maybe not sex— yet, soon, or maybe... ‘argh! Not now!’ Lucy scolds her libido. But a make out session was a very tempting idea!

They check out Lisanna and Bixlow for a short time at Sonidos, before briefly hooking back up with Levy and Gajeel for some crepes. That’s when Levy quietly informs Lucy that she’ll be crashing at her boyfriend’s house instead of going back to the dorm. “You know... for some privacy,” the girl winks at Lucy. “Hint. Hint!”

“I-It’s too soon for that! W-with us,” her tips burn with lies through each syllable.

“Pfft, you can’t lie that you’ve never thought about it.”

“No... not all the way...”

“Uh-huh. Well, do whatever,” she winks a second time and stands up to leave. “See ya in tomorrow night.”

“Yeah. See ya.”

“Why are your ears all red?” Natsu asks Lucy.

Lucy stiffens up. “N-Nothing important.”

“Oh... okay,” he smiles. “So whatdya wanna do next?”

“Actually, I’m kinda getting tired already.” It was after 3 am and they’d been out and on their feet for over seven hours.

Natsu sighs relief. “Me too! I just didn’t wanna ruin your fun. Shall I take you home?” He squeezes her hand with a smile.

“Yes,” she returns the squeeze, “and if you’d like you can spend the night— I-I mean since you’re tired and all! I’d just feel better than making you back track.”

“I’ll behave, I promise.”

The couple ride the train the short distance between Shibuya and Shinjuku to where Lucy’s dorm is located, cautious of the other riders on the train. Even though alcohol is not allowed on the streets during Halloween, it didn’t stop people from getting drunk and few creepy peepers kept looking at Lucy. But luckily, the train wasn’t very packed despite the holiday because the Shibuya party wasn’t over till 4am and they beat the end rush. On the way, Natsu texts his roommate out of courtesy, only to find out that Gray and Juvia were already at the apartment. Figures. Well it was a good thing he wasn’t walking into that situation! Even if nothing happened, just watching Juvia fawning all over Gray wouldn’t have been appealing. Once they arrive at the dorms, they make sure no one had followed and proceed inside.

Lucy leaves Natsu in the small living room as she changes out of her costume and into something a lot more comfortable. He was lucky the men’s costume was still semi-normal and he only had to remove the jacket and goggles for comfort, but the black hair dye will wash out in a week. She then grabs them a couple bottles of melon milk tea before joining him on the couch. Thank goodness, they didn’t have school, or he didn’t work the next day.

“That was fun,” Lucy curls against his arm with a yawn. “So, tiring though.”

“I haven’t been to Shibuya’s party in a couple of years, but it sure hasn’t changed,” Natsu chuckles. He leans his head against hers while threading their fingers together. “Totally agree on being tired. It probably wouldn’t be as bad if I hadn’t worked too.”

A companionable silence falls over the couple for a few minutes and after some time Natsu assumed Lucy had fallen asleep resting on his shoulder. He would have stayed in that position till his ass was numb if it kept her relaxed. This beauty queen deserved it and more, and he meant every word he’d told her earlier. The second chance had become a cosmic wish come true and he’d be damned to let anything ruin this between them.

“Hey Natsu?”

“Yeah Luce?”

“Do you think we could pick up from where we left off... in that photo booth?”

He swallows hard. It was one thing in the heat of the moment, but quite another to put aside his nerves now that they were so relaxed. This was a different kind of intimacy and much more intimidating to say the least. A private apartment without anything or anyone to interrupt or stop two consenting adults from going too far... and the last thing he wanted to do was something wrong! A regretted decision would destroy everything built up until that moment. But he couldn’t tell her no either!

Sensing the turmoil, Lucy sits up and turns his face towards her. Her instincts were probably on point earlier about his anxiety. “We don’t have to, if you’re not ready, but I wouldn’t mind making out with you... just a little.” She adds in the goal as a way to allay his fears. And it works. Lucy immediately feels his shoulders relax again. She gently caresses his cheek, her eyes zeroing in on his lips. “I just… like kissing you Natsu.”

“I’ll let you direct then, a-and if I start going too far, just stop me. I won’t get mad, I just...”

“Shh, I know,” she smiles, “and that what I like about you.”

Lucy closes the gap and steals his lips, starting slow, then adding pressure behind it. Her hand slides behind his head, fingers weaving into his messy hair as she tilts her head to deepen the kiss. Their tongues tease and test, mouths molding together as teeth clack gently the further, they push each other’s oral boundaries. She could still taste some of the sweetness of the crapes lingering.

His own hands stay glued, one with fingers twined in her hair and the other to Lucy’s side, just below the rib cage. Natsu loses himself in her kisses, they were so soft and sweet, a little adventurous as she ran her tongue once over his canines and giggled. That brought a grin to his lips and a straight arrow through his heart. He wasn’t ready to say it out loud yet, but he loved Lucy. His heart knew it and that’s all that matters, so when the time is right, he’ll tell her, but not yet, he knew she wasn’t ready for that level.

Natsu’s so lost in the kisses he barely registers additional heat against his chest as Lucy’s hand has found its way under his shirt. It wasn’t doing more than simply resting against his pectorals, but it was much further than he’d expected her to venture tonight. Every few minutes her fingers would lightly curl against his skin or move slightly up or down, sending little shivers over his skin. As far as he was concerned, she could do anything she wanted to him as long as it was her choice.

It surprises him when Lucy starts to press forward. At first one of his hands moves to keep from falling back onto the couch, but her sudden whine triggers him to let it happen and the next thing he knows Lucy is using him as a bed. So, he wraps his left arm more firmly around her body to make sure she doesn’t fall off.

Lucy lifts her head to look Natsu in the eyes. “Is this okay?” She questions him. “Am I too heavy?”

“I don’t mind,” he smiles at her, “but are you comfortable? I could shift us over so we’re more on our sides.”

“That would be great. Just felt like snuggling more.”

He kisses her lips. “Works for me.” Natsu then adjusts their bodies carefully until Lucy’s back is resting against the couches backing with her head on his shoulder and chest. She wraps her arm around his torso and huddles close to his frame, while their legs are slightly tangled together. “Comfy?”

“Mmm hmm,” she nods her head against his chest and closes her eyes.

Natsu kisses the top of her head, bringing a smile to her face, then wraps his left arm over to rest his hand on her shoulder and cuddle her close. “Goodnight, Lucy.”

“Mmm. Goodnight, Natsu.”

Eight months ago, the only thing Natsu thought about was a career and now after that fateful train ride he knew his new goal in life had to include the blonde next to him. Lucy felt so perfect in his arms and oh, if only he could wake up like this every morning for the rest of his life, well than he’d be the luckiest man on the planet. With a smile of his own, he closes his eyes and lets the cadence of her heartbeat lull him to sleep. This was a very happy Halloween indeed!

Just to give an idea this is Shibuya on Halloween: I’m so sad I didn’t get to see it this year like I was supposed to ;-; but Natsu and Lucy got to have a little fun in my place lol.

Also a warning, the story gets much more angsty after this for several chapters 😅
