Zwillingstürme im Herbst Thoughts

ZT to me, is a story of endings. Not just the factual endings of eras, Arts, and songs. But also the great question of "What happens after the end?"

Each major character faces an ending in this story. Leithanien faces the end of both the Kaiserinnen and the truest finale of the Witch King. The Liches end their stay in the country. Viviana comes to terms with her Leithanien heritage, Ebenholz frees himself from all of his demons, and Arturia, well, we'll get to Arturia.

One of the most notable things is how this story treats hope and the indomitable human spirit. Unlike other stories, it does not praise humanity and treat them as some unstoppable limitless force by virtue of their emotions. Instead, it takes a very nuanced approach that's informed by how powerless these characters can actually get. Sure they can charge forward towards their goals but they'll still die and they'll still be faced with darkness and regrets. Even still, we should embrace our emotions and the turmoil they bring.

The Genesis Horn and Kagenreich are such interesting ideas but it can feel weird that much of the climax is emotional conflicts made manifest. Viviana's is the most obvious. The constant doors to possible new lives culminating in her real one. She comes to let go of the past and stand for herself which is nice. It's also nice that it was Margaret's light that helped her fight back the darkness. An exquisite call-back to the Radiant Knight.

Ebenholz helped to paint a very unique lesson in my opinion. That suffering doesn't NEED meaning. Even after promising Kreide that he'd live and fight fate, he's still plagued by headaches and Witch King Remnants. The revelation that whatever was in his head, the Voice of Mundane, was just a mundane voice upends many of the things we've (us and Ebenholz) assumed about his life. That his suffering was tied to the Witch King and that his conflict would culminate in a big fight against the man whose shadow terrorized him. Instead they have a heart to heart and the Witch King challenges him to look back on his life and realize that "the night itself is meaningless." It is totally fine to have a terrible thing just be a terrible thing and moving on doesn't have to involve a great trials to overcome, sometimes your enemies kill themselves and you just walk away.

Arturia is the most interesting but I'm afraid I can't do her full arc justice. In contrast to his accommodating spin with Ebenholz, the Witch King challenges Arturia at every turn, questioning her motive and why she wants what she does. It comes to a head when he forcefully dives into her and sees that there is only one thing that stirred her own emotions. Everything else is a mirror of someone else. He ultimately gives her the answer she's looking for and the natural doubt that comes when the answer she found didn't meet her expectations. But her bouncing back as chaos descended was beautiful and I might reread this and Hortus just to really grasp her character.

Cora and Brandt, Hildegard and Lisellote (no idea how to, spell the Kaserinnen's surnames), Michel, Lessing, and the Liches. All sorts of stories come to a close as new beginnings emerge. And the most troublesome of them is definitely the makings of the newest source of conflict: the Disaster, the encroaching of chaos upon reality and the return of the supposed Creator.

It's quite likely that that may be the angle of the next major story arc, especially with the role Nearl's light played and the fact that Laterano is trying so hard to unite the nations.

This event was great and I recommend it. Not sure if I have any major notes or ideas to share but I really liked it.

One last thing: seems people are kinda wary of Lisellote, the Eternal Grace. I love it when the supposedly fluffier one has the greater potential of evil

[leliwardens]

"anger is stronger than any pain" leliana quote and "you’re angry, good. anger can save you when everything else is gone." vivienne quote,,, i am connecting the dots between them. leliana/vivienne is becoming so real to me bc of u (hiii its abyssal-ilk's main 👋)

(omg THE vivivenne fan in my inbox hiiii 👋)

It's such a massive shame there really isn't any direct face-to-face with them because my god they are so deeply fascinating to roll around on the counter to bake.

Both of them are so SO similar and care so SO much the insane powercouple they could be if they could make it work. Like Divine!Leliana and Vivienne I think has the most potential for depth and content since Vivienne does rise against her with the Loyalists but what if she could convince her they both truly want the same thing in the end...and she could use a mage that truly cares for her wards to help guide Thedas into a better world for everyone.......

[braveblackbutterfly]

ohhhhh my goodness i love supernaturally human and now i would like to know more about viviana but also. question bc i will take what representation i can get, are the werewolf pack desi?

Ahhhhhhhh!!! Rarka!! I'm so happy you like my book and my ocs!!

I know I already answered your question via dm, but for everyone else: yes, the Azad pack are desi. I'm going to talk about them in the other ask because I don't want this post to be super duper long talking about Viviana and the Azad family.

Viviana is one of my absolute favorite ocs from Supernaturally Human! As a matter of fact, she was the very first character I created for this story after Wendi and Trevor.

Mind you, I first came up with this story in my freshmen year in college. I was nineteen and still thought I was straight. And yet I created a lesbian vampire stripper character named Viviana.

Note: I realized I probably should have done more research when I first came up with Viviana, Trevor and Cameron's characters since they were born/lived through pivotal moments in black american history, especially the civil rights movement. So some of the canon in my story might not be historically accurate. But I'm going to work my way around it as I try to do some last minute research as I'm making this post.

Viviana's past:

Viviana was born as Joana Hill on July 21, 1929 in New York City. Her parents secretly dated each other behind closed doors.  Her father who was white wanted to marry her mother who was black, but interracial relationships were very much frowned upon and illegally to marry someone of a different race. So he left when her mother was pregnant with her, and later marry the white woman who would become Trevor's mother.

Joana's mother later married a black man and had two more daughters. Joana loved being a big sister to her sisters. But she struggled with self-esteem.  Everyone in her family was dark skinned with dark brown eyes and thick, kinky black hair while she had sandy brown thin hair and green eyes.  Joana's family pitied her which she hated. She caught hell for being biracial and later for liking girls romantically.

When Joana was 20, she met Trevor who learned he had a half sister two years prior from his father during a drunken talk. This caused tension between both of their families.

One night, Joana's mother kicked her out of the house for catching her making out with another girl in her room. Distraught, she goes to Trevor's house. But soon after his mother kicked him out for letting his half sister in her house, calling her a racial slur. So they both moved in with Cameron, a recent friend of theirs.

The three of them began participating in local civil rights protests for the next five years before everything changed.

Joana and Trevor were protesting peacefully in a park late evening with a local group when a band of racist assholes shows up, verbally harassing them, targeting the two siblings. When the men begin attacking, the other protesters scattered, leaving Joana and Trevor defenselessly.

Just as Joana and Trevor thought the worse was going to happen, three vampires showed up and killed the men. The three vampires then surrounded a terrified Joana, begging them to leave her alone, but they steadily moved in closer. The leader held up a dark stained stake and drove it straight inside Joana’s chest. 

When Joana wakes up, she's in a room with Cameron who had been missing for a week or so. She discovers he's been turned into a vampire. And so has she. Trevor still lays unconscious on another bed as they both wait for him to wake up. Once Cameron explains everything to Joana, she goes from grieving her old life to excited to embrace this new life, for she has already been forbidden from seeing her family anyway. And for the first time, she feels strong. When Trevor wakes up, she and Cameron explains everything to him.

(I thought I had a word doc with this info, but later on Joana, Trevor and Cameron escapes from the three vampires who turned them. I think they killed them some how, but I can't remember how)

For the first decade as vampires, Joana, Trevor and Cameron loses their humanities, hunting/killing humans at night.

One night in 1964 (the 9th year as a vampire), Viviana hunts down a man after he leaves a restaurant and heads to his car.  She compels him and drags him into the alley and drains him dry.  When she looks up, she sees one of her younger sisters, Angela who’s now 30, looking at her in horror.  Viviana quickly realized she has just killed her brother-in-law.  She is left with no other choice but to compel Angela to forget seeing her and that she discovered her husband’s body in the alley, assuming a vicious animal broke loose and attacked him.        

When Joana returns to the home she shares with Trevor and Cameron, she determines then and there that the three of them need to regain their humanities. She refuses to kill another innocent human again. After a lot of convincing, the two guys agrees and the three of them tries to find alternative ways to feed their blood lust. The first couple of decades, they try to feed (not kill) on "bad" humans. But as time goes on, they find different ways to get blood. Joana gets her blood supply from the blood bags Cameron steals at the Red Cross.

Joana is the first one to regain her humanity. Wanting to put her past behind her, she changes her name to Viviana and gets a job at a burlesque club.

*

Flash forward to the timeline in the book:

Viviana works as a stripper at a strip club called Charlie's Naughty Angels. Her stage name is Ms. Vixen and is the most popular stripper at the club.

The day (or rather night) after they first meet, Trevor takes Wendi to meet his sister at the club...not telling her his sister's profession or where she works at until they get there. Wendi is not a fan of strip clubs to say the least. But when "Ms. Vixen" comes out and gives a Jessica Rabbit type of performance, Wendi questions her own morals and other things.

Later Wendi and Viviana officially meets in her dressing room, making the witch slightly flabbergasted by her. After Wendi and Trevor tells her what happened the previous night, Viviana is ready to kick Ken and his minions' asses. But a tense moment happens between Viviana and Trevor when he discovers she has turned her girlfriend into a vampire. Trevor storms out the dressing room and Wendi talks to Viviana alone who answers her questions about why she became a vampire stripper and what made her so confident.

When Wendi goes to leave the dressing room, Viviana calls after her. A puzzled Wendi turns around and is quickly kissed by Viviana before the vampire returns to her room.

Although Viviana playfully flirts with Wendi every now and then in the book, she's the biggest supporter of Wendi and Trevor getting together.

But Viviana's own love life becomes complicated. Her newly turned vampire girlfriend Ashley breaks up with her and leaves her house, believing she's having an affair with Wendi since she's spending so much time with the witch and her coven. Viviana is very pissed about this and Trevor convinces Wendi and her cousin Kesia to come with him and Cameron to calm her down/cheer her up. Wendi is the one who eventually gets to Viviana and she's back to her lively self again.

Later that night, she meets Wendi's sister Jasmine at the group's training session at the baseball park. The two are immediately smitten by each other. Despite the instant chemistry, Viviana doesn't make a move because 1) she just got dumped by Ashley 2) Jasmine just ended her engagement with her cheating ass fiance Sean and 3) she doesn't know if Jasmine even likes women romantically. So she waits for Jasmine to make the first move. Finally Jasmine comes out as bi at the full moon party after a life and death moment between her, Viviana and Ashley. And she and Viviana finally kissed.

In the epilogue, Viviana and Jasmine reveals they plan to build a burlesque club, inclusive to all queer performers.

Zwillingstürme im Herbst is certainly an event with a story

And I will never be able to read it because, even just by the end of ZT-1 Before, there are so many damn proper nouns. This wouldn't be a problem if they weren't also in German. This wouldn't be a problem either if not for the fact that the game doesn't know how to handle diacritics in localization. I cannot physically parse a line of dialogue in a reasonable amount of time because the words and names look like this:

This is fucking illegible. The flow of reading is broken when your letters are a character and a half thick and the lowercase with diacritics are taller than the fucking taller letters like 't' or 'l' and match the height of your capitals like 'G'. Like, look at "Güldenesgesatz" WHY IS THE 'ü' so fucking big? I'm just supposed to READ that? And past that?

Pardon me for sounding artsy and up my own ass, but words on a page or on a screen should FLOW like water or like music, or like art! Which this event is supposed to be about! And it just! Doesn't! There's a scratch on the mental record every time I try to read a name or title or any proper noun at all with a diacritic in it that sounds like a Shin Megami Tensei character trying to pronounce 'YVWH', and that only works in THAT context because of a mix of 1) it being voice acted, 2) the nature of the character in question, and 3) the fact that it doesn't happen two out of every three lines of text. This event is unreadable, and if anyone knows where I can find a decent summary of it, or even just the full fucking script written out in a font that isn't heinous like the one above, PLEASE send me in that direction.

Female reader

Chapter 8- The REAL beloved princess

_____________________________

"This is so fucking bullshit" someone says as she storms out her used to be office, this someone got fired from her job after management found out she was stealing from the company

She's frustratingly fondling with the keys of her car and drives off in a pissed off state, "What's so good about them anyway.. I was top of my class you assholes! It was just a couple hundred thousand dollars, I needed vacation money!" She yelled

What she didn't notice was the light turning red meaning all cars should stop, then she crashes and hits a teenage girl, she swerved out to run away from the scene but her frantic driving makes her hit a pole and she dies

Then she wakes up as a 9 year old girl, she wakes up as "Viviana"

She's a little socialite and influencer who bullies people poorer than her, once a scandal about her was shown after she was seen throwing her leftovers at a homeless person's head

She's the daughter of a famous whore model and an unknown dad, her mom slept with one of the guests at fashion week and had her

Life was good for Viviana, vacations, designer bags and clothes, private school

When Viviana was 10, at one of her lavish birthday parties an earthquake happened, she was about to get crushed under the debris but a screen popped up

Welcome Reader! To the favorite child au!

Your story goes as someone who lives a normal life, but then when your mother dies, you find out you're the daughter of none other than Bruce Wayne! Aka Batman, the family immediately loves you and you become the most cherished person in the Manor!

After that Viviana's life changed, she was then actively trying to poison her mother so she can start the story of her being loved

She was given missions that gave her points and superpowers as rewards,

So far she has

Super strength, Lazer eyes, and infinity bag (a bag that has whatever she needs or wants at the moment)

At first Viviana didn't want to become a vigilante like the system was telling her to be, but then the opportunity came when she was transferred to Gotham prep, there was a school shooting and her brothers were watching, of course she had to show off

She apprehended the bastards and was praised by the school

Soon she was appearing alongside the bats, She was then given a love meter by her system to see how much they loved her, so far she's at 30%

There was one problem, that one girl

(Name) Wayne.

She wasn't part of the original family!?

Then her system informed her that she was another reincarnated person, but she reincarnated as the "neglected" one

How pitiful, Viviana laughed to herself

The problem is that bitch (Name) made the family love her... She had years with them!? It wasn't fair!

They were even throwing a gala for her birthday, the last straw for Viviana was when Bruce, the man who's supposed to love her most and declare her as the favorite child, danced with the bitch he's supposed to hate!

She couldn't wait and introduced herself right then and there, it was really unfortunate that her mom had died due to the Joker's attack

Why are her brothers smiling at her!? Why are her sisters adoring her!? This wasn't how it's supposed to go! She's the beloved daughter!

Viviana vows to make that change.

The party ended abruptly and now the family find themselves in a private room

Duke leans on the sofa "So you're that protagonist vigilante right?" He looked wary of the new girl

Viviana looked shocked "How did you!?-" Duke laughed recalling a memory, he looked at (Name) "Someone once told me 'A new vigilante appears, Bruce gets a new kid, it's not rocket science' huh (Name)?"

"we'll have to verify the DNA test you handed me" Bruce coughs "Until then you'll stay in a guest room-"

"Master bedroom." Says (Name), the system informed you that his girl is another reincarnated person! You've never thought you'd meet anyone back in your old world! Maybe you and her can help each other with missions and stuff!

Everyone looks at you "What? If she does end up becoming our sister are you going to treat her like how I was first treated? Make her feel welcome" you smiled, you found out that she was reincarnated as the "beloved" one of the Bat family, and her mission is opposite to yours, make everyone love her, you'll help her with that, and maybe she'll help you too

____________________________

Bruce feels tired, he had just made you feel part of the family after years of neglect, he feels like you were finally opening up to them and now you guys can be one happy family

Then Viviana comes.

"Maybe I should just fuck infertile women", he groans, the door opens and comes in the devil "Viviana... Why are you up? It's so late?"

She smiled "I saw how stressed you were at the family meeting earlier... I made you some tea" she said, Bruce falters "How... Thoughtful of you, thank you Viviana"

Bruce smelled the aroma, a sweet scent, he doesn't like sweets but it's fine, it was from his daughter, he took a sip... He was surprised it wasn't sweet at all, it was a bit bitter with a tangy taste, it wasn't a good tea, but who is he to complain?

Reader- um I mean... Protagonist! His love meter is going up in an alarming rate! What happened?

"I told you to not mess up on what you call me..." Viviana angrily whispered, I mean, she was the protagonist, so she doesn't see a problem on why the system shouldn't call her that

Viviana relaxed in an armchair near her father's desk "You know... My tea has a special ingredient... First it's him then the others... And then the entirety of Gotham..." She whispered

But protagonist... Using a love potion to up your love meter is considered cheating... If you get caught, or the love potion wears off, we'll both get in trouble! I suggest you get their affection the natural way!

"I hope you have a goodnight Father..." Viviana smiled then left the room

Protagonist! Bruce is still a vigilante! A scary one at that, if he finds out about this your love meter might plummet!

"it won't. Don't worry, I won't let it happen" she looked at her stats

Super strength- 6/20

Lazer eyes- 8/20

"System why aren't you doing anything to make this go up!?" She growled

You're the one who's supposed to make that go up on your own! By fighting villains! With every criminal you rehabilitate or put in jail, your stats go up, so far you've only managed to out the school shooters and some muggers

"powers aren't that important anyway... What matters is that girl, who does she think she is!? She was even trying to show her influence in the family by changing their minds and making me sleep in a Master bedroom!"

She was probably only trying to help you... She's been informed of your mission by her system

"Screw that! She's just scared that I'll take her place, so she's being kind to me to make herself stay! I'm going to take everything from her, those warm gazes, the gifts... They were mine in the first place!"
