Connor Lacey's Super Adventures of Scooby-Doo! And KISS Rock and Roll Mystery/Transcript
EDIT
This is the Transcript for Connor Lacey's​ Super Adventures of Scooby-doo! And KISS Rock and Roll Mystery
(Evil laughter)
(Worker 2 screaming)
Worker 1: Good, man. Give me another one.
(Continues screaming)
Worker 2: How long do we have to keep doing this? My voice is getting hoarse.
Worker 1: Look, somebody's gotta fix this camera. How else are those kids gonna get a picture of themselves screaming their heads off?
Worker 2: Ha-ha-ha. Scaredy cats. Funny. What seems to be the trouble?
Worker 1: I don't know. Every photo has some weird red haze in it. But I'm pretty sure I just fixed it. You smell rotten eggs?
(Worker 2 exclaims)
(Stuttering)
Worker 1: What? Water buffalo?
(Worker 2 continues stuttering)
Worker 1: Water slide? What is it?
Worker 2: Witch!
Worker 1: Aah!
The Crimson Witch: Give me rock! Give me rock! Give me rock!
Worker 1: Man, I think we lost her.
The Crimson Witch: Give me rock!
Worker 2: Whoa!
Worker 1: Get out of my way.
Worker 2: There's a...
Worker 1: We saw a...
Worker 2: We saw a...
Worker 1: There's a...
Both: Witch!
Manny Goldman: Big deal. A witch, a witch. Pipe down already. You're giving me a headache. Stop getting so excited.
Worker 2: But we saw her. She had this grotesque head.
Worker 1: It was so frightening.
Manny Goldman: Well, welcome to KISS World. That's the whole point of this park, isn't it? To excite and fright. Now, get back to work. By the way, don't forget your souvenir photo. She's back. Only one thing we can do. Get me the hottest mystery solvers in the world.
Connor Lacey: Looks like the Scooby gang are heading to KISS World to see KISS's Halloween concert.
Hoopa: Guess we better go with them. Right Connor?
Connor Lacey: Right Hoopa.
Chris Kratt: Hang on! What about the Rainbooms?
Rainbow Dash (EG): Here we are.
Connor Lacey: Then let's go.
Shaggy: Like, I can't believe we get to go to KISS World. Ha-ha.
Velma: And solve a mystery. That's like killing two birds with one stone.
Scooby-doo: Yeah. Or two birds with one cat.
Velma: Personally, I find their sideshow act a little juvenile. But my mother told me to take a more active role in my friends' interests.
Daphne: Well, I'm pretty interested in Starchild. He's so dreamy. Hey.
Fred: Sorry, everyone.
Daphne: You did that on purpose.
Shaggy: Heh. Now it looks like a shooting star. Make a wish, Scoob.
Scooby-doo: I wish I was eating a Scooby Snack.
Shaggy: Good one, dude. I wish I could breathe fire like the Demon. Aah!
Fred: I wish you'd all come to your senses. You don't see me acting ridiculous over my favorite group, the Ascot Five, do you?
The Ascot Five: Don't tug my ascot Don't pull my ascot It's not a scarf You can't have my ascot 'Cause, girl, it's mine
Daphne: Fred, please.
Fred: I'm just saying, I think they're twice the band KISS is.
Shaggy: But do the Ascot Five have an awesome amusement park?
Scooby-doo: Yeah. Awesome amusement park.
Optimus Prime (G1): We're here.
Daphne: It is so majorly groovy to be at KISS World on Halloween night.
Shaggy: Listen to those crowds.
Daphne: I'm so excited. I think I'm gonna freak out.
Velma: Apparently you're not the only one.
Shaggy: Like, dude, don't most people usually run towards awesome rock concerts?
Fred: Not at an Ascot Five concert. Everyone walks in a calm, orderly fashion.
Man 1: Help!
Man 2: Witch!
Man 1: My gosh, she's so terrifying.
Man 1: The scariest witch ever.
Shaggy: Witch?
Man 1: With the red mist.
Man 2: And the creepy laugh.
Man 1: Save yourself while you can.
Shaggy: Wait a minute. The Demon, the Starchild, the Catman, the Spaceman. Ho-ho-ho. Please tell me they added a witch.
Velma: Somehow I doubt that. In fact, it's probably the reason we're here.
Scooby-doo: Not me. I'm here for the funnel cake.
Fred: Come on, gang, let's get to work.
Shaggy: Like, excuse me, ma'am.
Delilah: Sorry. Park's closed.
Fred: But we're here to solve a mystery.
Delilah: Sure you are. You always wear makeup when solving crimes?
Daphne: Heh. I should hope so.
Velma: She means the KISS makeup. No, we're just excited about the concert tonight. But we're the mystery solvers you called for.
Delilah: I am Delilah Domino, chief of security. Why would I call mystery solvers?
Fred: What? But Daphne took the call. Right, Daph?
Daphne: Well...
Velma: Daphne?
Daphne: Okay. The thing is, no one actually called for our help.
All: What?
Daphne: But when I heard KISS was throwing a special Halloween concert, I just had to come. I mean, look at that poster of Starchild. He stares at me wherever I go.
Shaggy: So does the Mona Lisa, but you don't see us on a plane to Italy.
Velma: Why didn't you just tell us the truth? We all would've come.
Fred: Not me.
Daphne: Exactly. But once we got here, I knew we'd all have a good time. The odds were pretty good there'd be a mystery for us to solve. I mean, we're the Scooby gang, and it's an amusement park. Heh. Right?
Delilah: Wrong. It's a closed amusement park. And chances are, there won't be any Halloween concert either. So go home.
Shaggy: But we've come so far. Heh. Couldn't we at least have some snacks for the road? Maybe some rocky road?
Delilah: Out.
Connor Lacey: Let me handle this. I'm Connor Lacey and you had better watch who you're talking to.
Delilah: Wait a minute. Connor Lacey? That rings a bell! Are you the same Connor Lacey who stopped the Kraang invasion with the help of his team!?
Connor Lacey: The one and only.
Delilah: My lord. My apologies for my rudeness. If you're all friends of Connor Lacey then come and investigate the park. But please be careful.
Twilight Sparkle: Nice job Connor.
Jeremy: She has heard of you? Wow Connor you're a real celebrity.
Connor Lacey: And that includes all of you.
Optimus Prime (G1): Daphne,Velma,Shaggy and Scooby you better take off your KISS costumes. We'll meet you inside.
Velma: All right, time to get serious. It seems KISS needs our help.
Shaggy: Like, I'm no guitarist, but I can play a mean armpit.
Daphne: Not to play music, Shaggy, to solve the mystery.
Fred: Well, then it looks like we'll have to get in.
Daphne: You're okay with this?
Fred: Of course I am. It's a mystery, right? And solving mysteries is what we do.
Scooby-doo: We're done.
Connor Lacey: Okay. Let's go.
Delilah: Caught some kids trying to stay in the park, Mr. Goldman, but I noticed that one of them is Connor Lacey.
Manny Goldman: Connor huh? Yeah I heard of him. He's supposed to be a tough little guy. That is you believe in his reputation.
Delilah: Oh I believe he's for real.
Manny Goldman: I can't believe we're chasing customers away.
Delilah: I know, but we went over this. Until we solve this witch mystery, it's safer to keep everyone out.
Manny Goldman: Now, don't get crazy, Delilah. Just stay calm because I'm gonna be very honest with you. I called for some backup.
Delilah: Backup? You must be kidding. Mr. Goldman, I am the chief of security. I think I can take care of this unusual situation.
Manny Goldman: Time is not on our side. The witch has scared away too many people. Tonight's Halloween concert is our only chance to bring them back.
Velma: Did you hear that?
Daphne: We got here just in time.
Fred: Come on. Let's check out the supervisor's office.
Shaggy: Hey, Scoob, bet I can beat you in a water-gun shootout.
Scooby-doo: Yeah? You're on.
Manny Goldman: Chip, you don't understand. If KISS doesn't perform tonight, I will lose the park.
Chip McGhoo: That's not my concern, Manny. All I care about are the concert tours. Every one of these cities translates into dollar signs. You know what happens if I lose these cities?
Manny Goldman: You have more time to take your kids to KISS World.
Chip McGhoo: No, it means I lose money. Every time KISS comes back into the park, it means they're not on the road performing... ...and I'm not selling their merchandise. So forgive me, but as far as I'm concerned, this park can wind up in a toilet. Preferably this KISS toilet. Because I don't know how I'm gonna unload this thing.
Shaggy: Looks like Spaceman is spaced out. Ha-ha. Onto Starchild. Heh.
Scooby-doo: One Catman down and one Demon to go.
Shaggy: Run for it! Run!
Fred: Shaggy, Scooby, Wait!
Delilah: You. I thought I told you kids to be careful.
Manny Goldman: Hey, hey, hey. Whoa! Whoa!
Shaggy: Sorry.
Manny Goldman: Calm down. I'm Manny Goldman, the park supervisor. What's with all the ruckus?
Delilah: It's these nosy kids again. Fortunately, I used to work for a government defense company... ...so I know how to take down intruders.
Shaggy: Like, she's not kidding.
Velma: Sorry, everyone. We're just trying to help.
Daphne: We overheard that the park is in trouble. And seeing how we're such big KISS fans, we'd like to do all that we can.
Delilah: We've got it under control. Thank you very much.
Fred: But don't you want the crowds to come back to the park?
Starchild: They'll come back. To see us.
Gene Simmons: You show us everything you've got You keep on dancing and the room gets hot You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy And you say you wanna go for a spin The party's just begun, we'll let you in You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
KISS: You keep on shouting You keep on shouting I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day
Gene Simmons: You keep saying you'll be mine for a while You're looking fancy and I like your style You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy And you show us everything you've got Baby, baby, it's quite a lot You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
KISS: You keep on shouting You keep on shouting I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day I wanna rock 'n' roll all night And party every day
Chip McGhoo: Come on, guys, these special effects cost money. I told you, you can't use them every time you make an entrance.
Shaggy: Like, wow, ha-ha-ha, it's KISS.
Scooby-doo: In person.
Daphne: And in the flesh.
Fred: "In the flesh" is the same as "in person." Basically, you have just said the same thing twice.
Pinkie Pie (EG): Potato Tomato.
Starchild: How can we help, little lady?
Velma: Actually we're here to help you. We're mystery solvers.
Spaceman: That's funny. So are we.
Velma: Wait. You're the ones they called for help?
Demon: Yeah. They wanted the best, they got the best.
Shaggy: But, like, you're a rock band. Every band needs a hobby.
Fred: The Ascot Five would welcome our help.
Demon: Well, I guess we're no Ascot Five, so scram.
Fred: Yeah? Well, amusement-park mysteries happen to be our specialty. We solved the "Foul Play in Funland" case, stopped the Roller Ghoster in his tracks... ...and captured the monster of Our Lady of Mercy's parking lot. I guess that was more of a street fair.
Connor Lacey: And me and my team helped them. I should know we were there.
Spaceman: That's cute, but we solve mysteries on a cosmic level. What does that mean? It means we don't need your help.
Starchild: Now, hold on, guys. Let's not be hasty.
Catman: What?
Spaceman: Really?
Demon: Not again.
Starchild: You know how the eye sees everything. Well, I just caught a glimpse of the future.
Demon: Yeah, and I bet the future is a redhead.
Starchild: Ha-ha. You bet. I mean, in a way. Don't ask me how or why... ...but I think we're going to need these kids to catch that witch.
Spaceman: You're kidding. They're just humans.
Catman: Not even all of them.
Starchild: I know, but the eye never lies.
Spaceman: I guess they're okay.
Catman: If you think so, Starchild.
Demon: I do not like this.
Starchild: On second thought, we've decided you can help.
Daphne: That's great. I guess the first question is: Who is this witch everyone's talking about?
Crimson Witch: Give me rock!
Demon: Obviously you've done this before.
Delilah: Get out of my locker!
Shaggy: But it's so cozy.
Crimson Witch: Give me rock!
Fred: It's like she's searching for something.
Daphne: And I'm going to guess that something is a rock.
Velma: Do you think you could show us around the park? I'd like to see the places where the witch has been.
Starchild: No problem. Right, fellas?
Demon: Count me out. The Demon needs to feed the beast.
Shaggy: Did he say, "beast"?
Connor Lacey: Don't worry Shaggy.
Starchild: He means his stomach.
Shaggy: Heh-heh. Then my beast is growling too. How about yours, bud?
Scooby-doo: Heh. My beast is starving.
Shaggy: Like, catch you later. It's beast-feeding time.
Ash Ketchum: Good luck boys.
Daphne: I'm ready for that tour now.
Fred: Heh-heh. If by "tour," you mean "begin the investigation."
Starchild: Let's hit it, fellow mystery solvers.
Catman: I guess I'll see you out there.
Chip McGhoo: Guys, these special effects cost money.
Shaggy: Just think, Scooby-Doo, a million fast-food stands just for us. It's like carbohydrate heaven. The Demon.
Demon: Nice and toasty.
Shaggy:Like, wow, I wonder how he does that. Man, if we could breathe fire, we could pop our own popcorn.
Scooby-doo: Yeah.
Shaggy: Come on, we gotta get past him. Dude, you sure you know where you're going?
Scooby-doo: Yeah. Cheeseburgers straight ahead.
Shaggy: Yoinks! Like, sorry, Mr. Demon. Scooby didn't mean it. He was afraid of your dragon boot. I don't suppose you could wear an open-toed demon sandal?
Scooby-doo: That was close.
Shaggy: Could've been worse. We could've been on the menu. Heh-heh. Come on, Scooby-Doo. If we can't eat, at least we can go on some rides, ha-ha-ha, right?
Scooby-doo: Right.
Pinkie Pie: This is amazing.
Daphne: I have to say, this is some amusement park.
Starchild: Thanks. We each took a section and designed it ourselves.
Demon: There's my Brimstone Barbeque, the hottest ride in the park.
Shaggy: Like, that was well done.
Scooby-doo: Yeah, and so are we.
Spaceman: And my Electric Alley.
Shaggy: This ride gets my volt.
Scooby-doo: It's shocking.
Catman: Don't forget my Whirling Wildcats.
Starchild: And my Dynasty Star Ferris Wheel. Whoo!
Chip McGhoo: A great place to view with KISS binoculars, only $24.99.
Connor Lacey: So don't KISS this deal goodbye. Ha. Get it?
Rainbow Dash: Good one Connor.
Velma: What's that ride?
Demon: That's our most wicked ride of all... ...the Destroyer.
Catman: But it's closed to the public.
Darth Vader: What happened to it?
Tai: Yeah, what?
Spaceman: The Crimson Witch scared a couple of repairmen on it tonight.
Daphne: It looks pretty terrifying.
Starlight Glimmer: You said it Daphne.
Starchild: Not if you were with me, darling.
Fred: Brother.
Velma: Fred.
Fred: I'm sorry, Velma, but I can't compete with Starchild.
Velma: You don't need to. Remember, underneath all that makeup is just a regular guy... ...who puts his pants on like everyone else.
Starchild: KISS costume change, activate.
Brock: I didn't know they can do that.
Yugi Moto: Neither do I.
Fred: Come on.
Velma: Relax, Fred. I think this was all pre-planned.
Shandi: You're right. It was a dress rehearsal for tonight's show. Good test run, fellas.
Demon: This isn't getting us anywhere. We need to be doing our own investigation.
Starchild: All right, Demon, I hear you. Hey, guys, we're gonna take a break.
Fluttershy: Who are you?
Shandi Hi, I'm Shandi Strutter. KISS'S head techie.
Velma: Hi, I'm Velma, and this is Fred and Daphne.

Shandi: Nice to meet you.
Velma: So you're responsible for the band's stage effects?
Shandi Most of them, yeah. The guys like to put on a show.
Daphne: You don't have to tell me. Heh-heh.
Fred: Daphne's a fan.
Twilight Sparkle: That's right.
Rainbow Dash: A really big fan.
Daphne: Um, KISS doesn't have fans, Freddie. They're called the KISS Army.
Fred: I prefer the Ascot Five, myself.
Shandi: Do they have an army?
Fred: It's more of an all-volunteer... ...international organization of enthusiastic youths.
Shandi: Cool.
Daphne: As in lame.
Connor Lacey: I better check on Shaggy and Scooby. They must've been having a good time by now.
Shaggy: Good deal finding that ice cream stand, Scoob. We'll have this case licked in no time. Ha-ha-ha.
Scooby-doo: Yeah. Licked.
Shaggy: Dude, maybe we should investigate the Rockin' Flume.
Connor Lacey: Mind if I investigate the Rockin' Flume with you and Scooby, Shaggy?
Shaggy: Sure Connor. "Your tongue must be this long to ride this ride." Hey! Looks like your tongue's long enough to get us both on this ride. Heh-heh. It's like the perfect park day. No lines, no operators. Aah! Pyew. Like, what died in here?
Crimson Witch: Give me rock!
Connor Lacey: (Hits Ultimatrix)
Robo Thundersaurus: Robo Thundersaurus! Let's go! On the boat! Hey, I know this song.
Paul Stanley: Well the night's begun and you want some fun Do you think you're gonna find it (find it) You got to treat yourself like number one Do you need to be reminded (need to be reminded)
Gene Simmons: It doesn't matter what you do or say Just forget the things that you've been told We can't do it any other way Everybody's got to rock n roll yay
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Paul Stanley: If you don't feel good every way you could Don't sit there broken hearted (sit there broken hearted) Call all your friends in the neighborhood And get the party started(get the party started)
Gene Simmons: Don't let them tell you that there's too much noise They're too old to really understand You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys 'Cause it's time for you to take a stand yay
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Gene Simmons: You got to have a party
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Paul Stanley: Turn it up louder
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Paul Stanley: And everybody shout it now
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Paul Stanley: I hear you gettin' louder
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Paul Stanley: Everybody shout it now
KISS: Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shaggy: Scoob, look, it's KISS!
Robo Thundersaurus: And there's the villains!
Scooby-Doo: Whoa! KISS is super buff.
Robo Thundersaurus: I'll help KISS!
Crimson Witch: You'll never stop us.
Fred: We heard the commotion. Are you guys okay?
Connor Lacey: We're fine.
Shaggy: Hey, man, heh-heh... ...did anyone catch the license plate number on that witch?
Hoopa: Shaggy and Scooby fainted.
Daphne: Poor Scooby and Shaggy. They're still out.
Chip McGhoo: Pardon me, Chip McGhoo, KISS road manager, executive officer of merchandise. These KISS smelling salts work twice as fast and they're only $15.95.
Connor Lacey: And it's KISS-counted just for you. Get it?
Chazz Princeton: Hey! Watch it with KISS puns. Pretty soon you'll used them up and they'll get cornier and cornier.
Daphne: They're still not coming around.
Chip McGhoo: Sorry. No refunds.
Fred: I think I might have the solution. Try this churro I grabbed from the concession stand.
Both: Aah!
Shaggy: Hey, man.
Scooby-doo: Hi, Shaggy.
Daphne: How do you feel?
Shaggy: I feel like a couple more churros. How about you, Scooby-Doo?
Scooby-doo: Yeah. And doughnuts too.
Chip McGhoo: How about some KISS Kakes? Now with Spaceman sprinkles.
Fred: What happened?
Shaggy: Well, first we got some ice cream... ...which Scooby-Doo licked away from me.
Scooby-doo: Yummy, yummy, yummy.
Shaggy: Then there was this smell and the stinky witch... ...and all this running and music and spinning and then... And then... Like, they saved us. KISS and their super powers.
Scooby-doo: That's right, KISS has super powers.
Connor Lacey and Pals: Wow!
Velma: Sounds like they spun around one two many times in those drums.
Shaggy: No. Like, he shot eye beams, he grew claws... ...he did lightning bolts, and he flew in and blew the biggest fire ever.
Scooby-doo: Thank you, Mr. Demon.
Demon: Beat it, mutt, before you dent my armor.
Scooby-doo: Yes, sir. Of course, sir.
Velma: Shaggy, you're imagining things.
Fred: He didn't imagine the witch, that's for sure.
Daphne: What should we do now?
Chikara: You must leave! Trust me, KISS, these children are nothing but trouble. You think they're allies, but in the end... ...the only person they'll help is the Crimson Witch... ...in her plans to bring total devastation to this world. They must go now or all is lost.
Fred: Guys, you've gotta stop doing this.
Chikara: If you wanna speak further, you know where to find me.
Daphne: Who was that?
Starchild: Chikara, the psychic.
Catman: She works at the park.
Spaceman: She tells people's fortunes.
Velma: Well, she smells like a mixture of patchouli and hobo.
Starchild: She's actually very wise. Maybe someone should talk to her.
Spaceman: I'll go. Mind if I tag along? I find it odd that she thinks she knows so much about the witch.
Daphne: Some of us should go back to the drum ride and try to pick up the witch's trail.
Starchild: I'll go with you, if you want.
Daphne: I want.
Fred: I'll go too.
Connor Lacey: We'll go as well.
Starchild: Demon, Catman, keep an eye on Scooby and Shaggy.
Demon: I got better things to do than babysit dogs and hippies. Hey, have fun.
Chip McGhoo: These confetti bombs just aren't getting any cheaper.
Fred:: There. I got some residue from the witch's mist.
Daphne: Heh, that's nice, Fred. Say, could you take a picture of me and Starchild looking for clues?
Akiza: Go ahead Fred.
Fred: Is this really necessary?
Daphne: He's a rock star, Fred. A rock star. Just do it.
Fred: All right.
Connor Lacey: He's only asking.
Daphne: And a couple more for safety. Thank you so much.
Starchild: My pleasure.
Daphne: Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Fred. Your thumb was in the way. On all of them.
Fred: Gosh. Heh. I'm sorry.
Daphne: Are you doing this on purpose?
Fred: No. I just don't see what the big deal is. We've solved over a thousand mysteries together... ...and you've never once asked to have a picture taken with me.
Starchild: No worries. I got one of the both of you. In vibrant, colorful acrylic.
Daphne: You just painted our portrait?
Starchild: Sure.
Daphne: Just now?
Starchild: No big deal. Just something I do in my spare time. Oops. Well, look, my thumb got in the way.
Fred: But you painted it.
Starchild: Luckily I did a couple more for safety.
Daphne: Aah! It's beautiful.
Tea: I agree with you Daphne.
Joey Wheeler: (Laughs) He made you look like a fool Fred.
Fred: I think I liked your thumb better. We should take some more pictures of the scene itself.
Starchild: No need. One scan with my special eye will tell us all we'll need to know. It puts the X in x-ray.
Fred: Oof. My nephew had a special eye. A pink one we called conjunctivitis.
Starchild: There's definitely a supernatural presence at work here.
Daphne: Hey, guys, wait. Listen.
Starchild: Not bad, but I am not into tap dancing. I am purely into rock 'n' roll! Whoa, yeah!
Daphne: Okay. Well, one side sounds solid. And the other hollow.
Fred: As if it's some sort of trapdoor.
Daphne: Exactly.
Starchild: It looks like one of the doors to the catacombs.
Daphne: The what-a-combs?
Starchild: The catacombs are what we call the maze of hallways that run under the park. They give us access to any area, including the main stage.
Daphne: I'll bet this is how the witch disappeared.
Starchild: Sounds dangerous. Stay back, Frank.
Fred: It's Fred.
Starchild: I'll go first to make sure it's safe.
Daphne: I hope he's all right.
Fred: For Pete's sake.
Daphne: What are you doing?
Fred: It's not like this is the first time I've ever climbed into a... Aah! Oof! I'd watch that last step. It's a doozy.
Yugi Moto: I wonder how Velma and Spaceman are doing?
Spaceman: Chikara, we need to talk.
Chikara: Spaceman, I sensed your approach.
Velma: You mean you heard the wind chimes?
Chikara: Hmph. Why do you bring this one with you?
Spaceman: Starchild seems to think they're okay. Plus, they've got a talking dog, which is kind of wild.
Chikara: Starchild cannot see as deep as I can. He has but one special eye, whereas I have two.
Velma: Some people say I have four.
Chikara: I know you think this is a joke, Miss Smarty-Pants... ...but your ignorance will cost us all.
Velma: Okay, then, I'm game. Tell us what we need to know.
Spaceman: How serious is the threat?
Chikara: The danger grows, Spaceman. The Crimson Witch senses the rock of Kissteria is near.
Velma: Rock of Kissteria? What's that?
Chikara: It's the key to holding evil at bay. This began on a Halloween night on another world... ...in a cosmic realm known as Kissteria. An evil Sorceress, called the Crimson Witch... ...created a gigantic horror known as the Destroyer. She sent the Destroyer to spread devastation throughout the land... ...the first step toward infecting the entire realm with evil.
Destroyer: Destroy!
Chikara: But the warriors had a weapon. Cosmic power crystals. The Kissteria crystals. Each crystal sounded a musical note. The warriors used the music of the crystals to force the Destroyer to retreat... ...and once the monster was back inside its volcanic temple...
Destroyer: No!
Chikara: They transferred the musical energy of the crystals... ...into a single, powerful... ...rock. That rock, the rock of Kissteria, became the key. By removing it, the Destroyer would be trapped forever. Naturally, the Crimson Witch has been desperate to retrieve it... ...especially by Halloween night... ...when circumstances are ripe to release the Destroyer.
Velma: Where's the rock now?
Chikara: It's had many protectors over the ages. Each one a descendant of the musical warriors who fought so bravely. Today these guardians are known as KISS.
Velma: You guys have it?
Spaceman: Yep. We used to display it at the Hall of KISStory in the park. But when it gets near Halloween, we keep it with us on tour.
Velma: Wait a second. Is this the rock? The Detroit Rock that you received as a gift from the city of Detroit?
Chikara: That's just a cover story.
Velma: Yeah. And isn't the Destroyer just the name of a ride?
Chikara: Blasphemous! Have you learned nothing? The Destroyer will strike fear into your heart.
Velma: I know. That's what the poster says.
Chikara: Aah! Get her away from me. She and her friends will do more harm than good.
Velma: That woman is crazy.
Chikara: But her powers are impressive.
Velma: You actually believe all that?
Chikara: Chikara's never wrong. Except that time she predicted the Love Gun album would go gold. Because it went platinum! Yeah, baby.

Cilan: His name is Chip McGhoo. He's KISS' road manager and executive officer of merchandise.
Fred: What are you doing down here?
Chip McGhoo: Hey, I was just checking on the props of the concert, and I got lost in this maze.
Daphne: There it is again.
Chip McGhoo: If I only stocked up on KISS batteries.
Daphne: Hang on. I can use my cell phone.
Chip McGhoo: Those are the props I've been looking for. KISS monster props, part of the Halloween show. House seats still available.
Fred: That doesn't sound like a prop.
Daphne: This way.
Chip McGhoo: You're leaving? Hello? Manager in the dark. Hello?
Fred: In here. I got it. Ungh!
Daphne: Freddie! What is this place?
Shandi: It's my special effects lab.
Leo Collisto: Who's that?
Iris: That's Shandi Strutter. KISS' head techie.
Starchild: I thought I told you guys to stay back.
Daphne: Some of us had other ideas.
Shandi: Don't worry, Fred. We can dry you off. Beth? Christine?
Fred: Okay. All right. That's good. Thank you.
Daphne: I take it you didn't find the witch.
Starchild: I searched this whole sector except for the chem lab. That's why I came to Shandi.
Shandi: I'm the only one who has the key. For the last few months, chemicals have gone missing, so I keep the lab under lock and key. No one gets in without coming to me first. See? Empty.
Fred: Hey, is that a chemical analyzer?
Shandi: Pretty smart of you, Fred.
Fred: I've got a couple at home. Hey, do you think you can analyze this? It's the residue from the witch's mist.
Shandi: Sure. Anything for a fellow chemmy.
Yuri: I wonder how're Shaggy and Scooby doing?
Hoopa: I will find out.
Shaggy: I don't think I've worked this hard in, like, ho-ho, forever.
Scooby-doo: Me neither.
Hoopa: Hey boys.
Scooby-doo: Hiya Hoopa.
Shaggy: Hey, Mr. Catman, when do we get to eat?
Catman: After you've brought the KISS monsters on-stage.
Scooby-doo: Monsters?
Catman: Yeah, Chip brought them over. They're below us.
Shaggy: Like, where are the stairs, man?
Catman: Don't need them.
Shaggy: That must be them, Hoopa and Scoob. Now, these are the kind of monsters I like. Fake ones.
Scooby-doo: Shaggy, look.
Shaggy: It's KISS'S green room where they hang out before the show. Scoob, you hit the jackpot. Think of all impressive people who have been invited down here. The pizza-delivery guy, the sandwich-delivery guy... ...the creepy witch, the sushi-delivery guy...
Crimson Witch: Give me rock!
Shaggy: Zoinks! Creepy witch. Like, maybe she'll think this is the real KISS and go away.
Emperor Mavro: Crimson Witch, make those things come to life.
Crimson Witch: Alive!
Shaggy: Please go away. Please go away. Please go away.
Scooby-Doo: Are they gone?
Shaggy: Maybe they're waiting for us to let our guard down.
Scooby-doo: Well, they're gonna have to wait a long time.
Velma: Shaggy? Scooby? Hoopa? Are you in there?
Shaggy: Like, how do they know our names?
Velma: Shaggy.
Shaggy: Velma? Why are you not being eaten by KISS monsters?
Velma: KISS monsters?
Daphne: What are you talking about?
Scooby-doo: They're gone.
Velma: I can't say we don't have enough suspects. The problem is finding a motive.
Connor Lacey: I can remember them. Suspect 1: Manny Goldman, suspect 2: Delilah Domino, suspect 3: Shandi Strutter, suspect 4: Chip McGhoo and suspect 5: Chikara.
Fred: The only one who'd like the park to shut down is Chip. But he doesn't seem smart enough.
Daphne: Shandi's smart enough.
Fred: I know, but she's way too cute to be a suspect.
Shaggy: Mr. Goldman and the security lady don't want the park to close. They'll lose their jobs.
Velma: Chikara is the one who's the most obsessed with the witch. She talks as if she is really supernatural.
This is my formal apology for all the mobile users.

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

hmm. Proto + B (i think im understanding that post right)
B = under cover of darkness.
So, anon. I have good news and bad news. Good news is I have an idea I've been rotating. Bad news is that it may take like 3 or 4 chapters to complete and... it won't be a happy ending.
Would you still like to try? Here, have the first chapter and maybe I'll get motivated to finish the rest soon.
Development
Chapter: 1/?
Words: 2477
Summary:
Silver can't help but notice a few odd things about the messiah, in the brief time they've met. At their request, she goes to investigate. What she finds may have unexpected consequences.
Read on AO3 here.
(full work below the cut as well)
Silver’s eyes were fixated on the board, her attention going from the cornered king, to her opponent’s pieces, all placed in strategic locations to ensure their victory. She kept replaying the last moves a few times. This was perplexing. She used a more straightforward strategy for this game, but she wasn’t trying to lose.
“Robot lady?” The child sitting in front of her spoke. “That is a checkmate, right? Did I win?” 
She looked up. The savior kept their hands covered, but from their posture, leaning over the table, Silver inferred they were eager to get up and celebrate, waiting for the robot’s approval. 
“Yes. You won.” She remembered to shape her face into a smile. “Not many have achieved that.”
“Woah! And I did it without help!” They looked to their right, as if listening to a distant voice. “And god says they’re proud of me.”
“That’s a good thing.” She said plainly. 
Some may call it pride, but Silver wasn’t fully convinced of this outcome. She was intrigued, rather, that a child that didn’t have much experience in the game could have won against her, who had advanced strategies built into her code, and a winning rate of over 95%. 
Something else popped up in her mind. The messiah seemed confident in their steps. She had watched them fix a solar battery on their own, movements as precise as her own. She watched them hold the amber she gave them with a look of slight recognition.
So she had to speak.
“...Niko? Can I ask you something?”
“Yeah?” They nodded their head excitedly, as they helped to put the pieces back where they belonged on the board.
“You said you haven’t played much chess, didn’t you?”
“Uh huh. Only with some kids in my village. They say I always get distracted and I lose my knights…”
“You didn’t lose either knight in this game,” Silver pointed out. “In fact, you always countered anything I tried doing. How did you do that?” 
“Oh I… don’t know.”
“You don’t?”
“Uhm… It’s like I just saw what to do!” Niko shrugged. ”Like… when you see a very familiar place and you know exactly what to do!”
“Pattern recognition?” Silver offered.
“I guess? It’s… weird. This isn’t the first time it feels that way. It felt very strong when I went to the mines earlier.”
“When you had that hallucination.”
“I still think it’s a short dream.” Niko shook their head. “But I still saw something! The yellow light was there! On the tunnel!”
Was there? Silver hadn’t seen anything when she brought the messiah there, but she couldn’t recall ever staying in that area for long. Besides… 
Well. After the power generator ran out of energy, she had assumed that any robots without a personal power cell would be inactive. It was far more likely that whoever had decided to go into the mines was following some inflexible programming that nobody could stir the right way, rather than doing so on their own volition. She didn’t think there was a point in visiting the mines after that.
Still, the possibility that this child saw something was non-zero.
“Hmm. That is intriguing.” Silver placed her hands on the table, as she motioned to stand up. “I’m not often driven by curiosity, but… is there any other thing that seemed strange to you since you appeared in this world?”
“Uhm… this… journal I woke up with.” Niko took out a book with a black clover on the cover. They opened it to reveal different pages. “I tried reading it but I couldn’t.” They raised their hand and clarified. “I can read most books. I just don’t know this language”. They flipped a few pages. “There are also a few drawings? And some pages are torn…“
“Give me the journal.” Silver pressed her finger on a page. She couldn't understand the writing, but she could recognize the layout of the room. “That’s… the entrance to the mines. And this page… It looks like an observation room, but not one I have visited.”
“We could go take a look?” the child suggested. 
“No. It’s a safety violation for you.” Silver replied. “But… I could go on my own.”
“How will you do that? We never saw a minecart!”
“I’ll walk.”
“On the tracks?” Niko gasped, eyes looking down at Silver’s feet.
“Yes, the magnetic rails will hold me in place.” Silver stood up, and touched the journal again. “Do you want me to take a look and tell you what I find?” 
Niko nodded. 
“Can I take the journal, to give it a closer look? I will return it.”
“Okay…”
“Stay here, then. Will you be okay on your own?”
“I think so. I’m not alone.” The messiah said, sitting on the metallic bed nearby.
-
Silver took the lone phosphor lamp that sat by the entrance to the mines, she remembered replacing the shrimp in it just a few hours ago. 
She took out the journal to look at it again. It was just like one of his friend’s usual travel logs. But then… he wouldn’t rip off parts of his journal, would he? Silver couldn’t remember an instance where that had happened. She guessed it could be a particular project of his. The design and materials looked exactly like the books she had seen her friend carry, so they had to be related.
Silver opened the page depicting the mines’ entrance. She didn’t know her friend had wanted to draw the cave. Why would he? He seemed to strongly favor outdoor locations. She turned the page to look at the observation room’s sketch. It seemed smaller than usual. Besides the usual computer terminals, there was a vaguely drawn box with writing next to it, but she couldn’t read it.
She couldn’t even recognize the writing system.
The robot wasted no more time, and stood on the rails. 
The pull on her legs was strong, making her stand steady. She took careful steps, lowering the lamp so she could detect any damage on the railings. They were… in an unnaturally good state, especially the further she walked inside. She could have attributed it to gas vents, but the mines never had such problems. She was expecting bending or missing pieces from earthquakes, but there was no sign of damage. Still, she could take the time to look into that later. There is no point in fixating on something that isn’t a problem.
The tracks led to an observation room. She took the journal again, and was motioning to place the lamp in a good position to take a look when she noticed another lamp on the floor, intact.
Intact, the lamp sat next to a box.
A box she recognized as a power cell. 
Her head turned as she scanned her surroundings, then faced left, to an entrance. As she walked towards it, a figure stood by it. 
A robot with a singular bright, yellow eye stared back at Silver. The rest of his shape was covered in shadow.
“It’s… you,” she stated. “The robot who insisted on going back to the abandoned mines.” She moved her lamp closer, to get a better look of the individual in front of her.
The robot looked away from her, scanning the room on his own, then simply replied: “You are not who I am meant to speak to.”
“Pardon?”
“I can’t speak to you.” 
“You just did.” She noticed the robot’s antennas tilting back, but she couldn’t discern what that meant. 
“My interactions are limited at the moment,” he explained, looking aside. “How did you get here?”
“I just walked here following the rails.”
“And what made you come here?” He pressed on, his eye piercing through her. 
Silver held the journal in her right hand, not easily visible to the robot in front of her. Her grip tightened. 
“I was asked to investigate here, and report back on what I found.” She saw the robot’s eye shrink for a split second.
Silver was choosing her words carefully, as she was trying to decide her next step. She was told to look out for this robot, right? Her friend said so back then, too. There had to be a good reason for that, and the situation was already proving to be different from her expectations. 
“Where is the savior right now?”
Silver froze, still staring at the robot. Did he know? She noticed his design, paired with his clothing, and came to a conclusion.
“You are a Prophetbot.” If that was the case, then she assumed his programming was that of a messenger, and would explain the prior questions as a standard screening process.
“Correct.” He was unfazed. “Where is the savior?” He insisted.
“They’re by the lookout point, in my house. They requested me to come here, as they can’t make the trip here without a vehicle.”
“So it may not be time yet.” Something felt somber in that statement.
“What?”
“Did they have a journal?”
Now she was intrigued. 
“Yes. I have it.”
“Please give it to me.” 
The Prophetbot took it, and with careful motions examined it, rubbing the black clover on the cover with his fingers. He waited, but whatever he was expecting to see happening to the book did not occur.
“I don’t have anything to say to you. You should just give it back to the rightful owner.” He returned the book.
“You…” Silver sighed, running out of patience. “Can you explain what this is about?”
“I don’t have a protocol on how to proceed in this scenario.” 
Silver scoffed. “Did they really have to design multiple robots with such basic programming? If this was my creator’s idea…”
“I would not know.” As she stopped her complaints, he continued: “A lot of my memories have been removed, limiting the information available to me.”
“That seems unethical.”
“It was voluntary.”
“Then it’s unwise.”
“A backup still exists nearby.” The Prophetbot pointed towards the backroom. Silver could see the faint light of a monitoring wall, and another computer terminal. “If the system is updated, then one should be able to retrieve it and install it into my main drive.”
Silver stepped inside the backroom, passing by the Prophetbot.
She recognized the tracking system as soon as she saw it. The head engineer read the note next to it, likely made by another one of the workers. She could recall every single building, as she had visited them in every waking cycle, despite nothing changing save for a few stray square anomalies. 
She never skipped a round after the guardian of the area lost their arm to them.
She quickly updated the information on the device, and the terminal next to it sent out a notification of completion. She walked towards it, read the text on the screen and turned back to the robot. He stood, frozen in place by the entrance.
“Don’t you want to install the backup?” 
“I…” He closed his eye. “This is conflicting. The conditions haven’t been met.”
“But you need it.” Silver sighed. “At this point, I don’t know exactly what I’m expecting from you, but it doesn’t seem like staying in this state is productive for either of us.” She rested her back on the wall. “At least, having the missing information would let you look for any… protocol of yours.”
Click. The Prophetbot retrieved a disk from his forehead, and stared back at Silver.
“I see. We can reach an agreement. I will do it, under one condition.”
“Which would be?”
“Give the journal back to the messiah. Do not mention my presence.”
“Why not?”
“I have limited information, but I know it is vital that they continue as usual. Just… say you found some empty rooms.”
“What about helping them? Is that outside of your programming?”
“Someone else already did. It would be redundant.”
“You can come back here once they leave.”
“Alright. I will be back.”
Back in the lookout point, the messiah had placed the sun in a corner, and placed a few boxes to prevent it from moving. They’d gotten bored, and had decided to take on the task of cleaning around the robot lady’s cabin. 
A framed photo had caught Niko’s attention before. Would it be too rude to take a look at it? 
The child used the nearest chair in order to reach for the frame, carefully grabbing it. They recalled a time where they had a picture of their first day of school printed, and how their mom had helped them hang it on the living room’s wall. They carefully removed the dust on the house as they shared this story with their invisible companion. 
In what seemed like just the right time, the robot lady arrived, carrying the journal with herself.
“Oh! You got here so soon!” Niko sprinted towards her, hiding the frame within their pockets. “So, how did it go?”
“Without novelty.” 
The robot’s answer was quick, and she seemed unfazed… though that’s probably expected for robots, right? Niko wasn’t sure how well that logic worked, but it seemed good enough. 
“Did the journal help you with anything?” They took it as she handed it, shaking her head. “Oh. I thought that would do something.”
“I didn’t find anything outside the usual machinery.” Silver scanned the room.
“But what about the yellow glow?” Niko insisted. “Did you find the source? Maybe there was a mirror!”
“Where’s the photograph?” The robot looked past them. Niko felt their guts drop.
“I’m sorry! I have it with me!” Their hands shivered as they took it out of their pocket. “It looked dusty so I wanted to clean it up for you a bit. To… thank you for the favor you did?”
The lady gave them a smile, she didn't seem upset. “I see.”
“I… think I know why you don’t clean it up though.” Niko looked down. “You can’t really make out the face of the person with you in the photo. They have a cool jacket though! Not my style but I know a neighbor who’d love it.”
“I rarely saw him wearing anything else. Though, I think he had two of them.”
“Is this your friend? The one that wanted to study the tower?”
“Yes.”
“He seems awesome!”
She didn’t reply. 
“I… wasn’t able to help you. But this journal… may be related to his research. I’m not sure what place it has in your journey, but it’s important that you keep it. Take it with you. Maybe show it to someone else and see if they can help.” 
“Do you think so? What if they can’t read it either?”
“He wouldn’t write without an intended recipient. Someone will. Off you go now, there’s nothing else for you to do here.”
“Thank you for everything! Goodbye, huh…”
“Silver.”
“Goodbye Silver! I’ll remember you.” 
“Goodbye, messiah.”

Aight cause my grandpa is gonna start charging me rent next month i no longer really care if sib decides to blab to him about my moving out progress cause it is now irrelevant
but that means!!! excited to share!! i am looking for places to move out!!!!! (some of you on discord and my bestie have been in the know and very patient with my ramblings while i could not rant here, to which i am thankful <33)
its been interesting. prioritizing shorter commutes + prices and touring places
i met a guy today who has a room for rent and it would make my commute longer, which when i realized made me think "alright, i already agreed to the tour, i think ill just explain that it makes my commute longer so i can't really consider it"
then i met the guy. VERY chill. very nice house. and. and. and. he has.
CATS.
i only got to see one cause the other was hiding but she was SO SWEET and adorable and affectionate
immediately second choice if my first one doesnt work out despite the longer commute
longer commute wont kill me maybe ill finally start maintaining and using my bike lmao
it also helps the washer and dryer were not outside, knocking another place i had in mind bc of the much shorter commute lower

i remember the first time ever i listened to SO i was like pfft rap? get out. (i was cringe) and then when i gave it a listen again a few months later i was a changed person... so i binge listened to their entire discography immediately and was genuinely shocked because how could ALL of their songs be bangers, like i couldn't believe it was possible it was surreal........ i wish i could turn back time (lol) to experience that pure shock again
#and the funny thing is i was in denial abt liking them for some time#i couldnt afford a new hyperfixation in that specific year#and i remember thinking to myself 'lol their music might be good but they're probably ugly its okay i wont like them'#(I WAS A TEENAGER SORRY FOR MY MENTALITY)#so i searched them up on pinterest and guess what i saw. the blurryface photoshoot#i kind of glitched and realized i was fucked#but i still tried to deny it and avoided looking at their pictures for days#but i eventually gave in and looked up videos and interviews and random facts about them#i was like SO stressed out abt this like i would get in trouble if someone found out i like them ahjdkdl#mind u in my country hardly anyone knows who they are#i made peace tho and then i fully embraced becoming a clikkie#technically im a hiatus clikkie#and one of the biggest concerns in my life then was the question of 'ARE THEY RETIRING WHY ARE THEY GONE'#idk looking back its so funny#this was in 2017#OH and one more thing#i was born and raised a christian and still was at that point (now i am not)#and all my life my mom would heavily censor stuff that would come across as 'devilish' or even mildly offensive to the christian religion#yknow even harry potter#so i had this irrational fear/anxiety abt stuff like that wired in my brain as well#so when i saw the hds live vid on youtube (the official one with a ton of views)#i got sincerely worried they might be some kind of devil worshippers or something 💀#them having a song called heathens did NOT help#off i went to google their religion and... the relief i felt when i found out they were christian lol#btw my mom did freak out over heathens when she found out 💀💀#i wont go into detail but she did give me trauma when she learned about the dema storyline too............#i still dont play lore videos when she's in the room 🥲🥲 thats why im lowkey jealous of clikkies with clikkie parents#okay story times over lol#tøp#nemotakeit

Coincidentally "ohh doggy!" Is the same thing that comes to mind spotting you out in the wild of my dashboard
Tumblr media
Don't have any fucking doggy reaction pics only kitty cat and horsey so have this crude edit. Wags my tail at this ^_^ correct reaction too. If you catch me around you gotta do a Tommy Wiseau and hit me with the oh hi doggy!. It's the morally correct choice.
#luly talks#free to adapt based on whichever animal I'm vibing w hardest at the time alternatively too#unless I'm monkey posting which is rare but i think best case scenario there is throw some fruit at me and keep the distance#but that's RARE tbh only twice or thrice have i had those eras#honestly I'd make a list of all the animals i relate to and to what degree i wont but i could.#though kitty doggy horsey and rarely monki are my main ones and cats are not Even yknow like#i have cat like qualities but i am not a cat per se. more like a dog that was socialized around cats. if doggy was kitty y'know#l.l. is my dogsona in spirit and that iss shown in them bc they're mostly dog but can still purr and have cat-like reactions to things#horses are Completely detached from it tho to the point i cant even make a sona or fursona or whatever#its the most face value stuff. like just picture a horse. now give me a sugar cube. y'know#or spicy curry. i wont survive it but I'll love it.#i once made a whole list of all the others i mean cows are big up there there's a reason why cowly exists#cow eyes are something my family has too. big dark cow eyes. my eyes look not as big bc I'm always experiencing sensory overload and im chic#ato and im sleepy but TRUST ME BRO. WHEN IM HEALTHY MY EYES LOOK SO BIG AND ROUND#I think cow mood really requires in general a deep fucking level of peace.#yeah some of these are like only achievable thru certain emotions.#dog is very versatile too bc it has that biting back quality to it. though luckily I've been not needing to bare teeth#yet i keep tasting copper. curious!#yeah I'm just infodumping now you caught me b4 bedtime and i just felt like talking about this ok. pretends to jump on you#asks#anon

#ok guess what fuckers youre going to be on another tag ramble adventure with me#ive been afflicted with the same images in my brain tumbling around and the only way to free my brain is to write them out#and anyways i have been contemplating wol au uri for a bit due to various reasons (he came up and then i got this image and couldnt be free#shb with uri as the wol is. after killing vauthry. he is SO fucked up that raha STILL wont just let him die#he was supposed to have raha send him to the rift with the light and let him die there but now that he cant stop him rahas taking it himsel#and theres the whole. 'no we really cannot have the wol die.' thing.#that makes it infinitely worse to uri. him just yelling through blood to let him die! let him have his turn! he WANTS to die!#the idea of bring told that the wol CANT die makes it so much more unfair to him#'you wouldnt know what to do if i died? i didnt know what to do for years after louisoux died! i still dont know what to do without moenbry#da! papalymo can sacrifice himself and everyone adapts! shtola has thrown herself to the lifestream twice! minfilia died! i had to stay sil#ent and let ryne choose her own path if she died or not! i cant tell people that i would be lost yet everyone gets to tell ME that?#do you think i am better than them do you think them worth less why do they have the right to die and i do not!'#he is SO SO SO much worse as a wol and it falls out in one outburst after hes quizzed as to why he thought he could sacrifice himself#but he also realizes that its really fucked up to say that aloud so yknow. yknow what. yknow.#hell bottle up all his feelings and then one day hell either die or start crying and it looks like he aint allowed to die!#he still takes the aid from ardbert at amaurot with the statement that#'if i dont try and save who i might then ill never be able to face moenbryda'#anyways cannot stop thinking about me giving uri the echo like 'this will be funny!' and hes just 'my life has become infinitely worse'#HEAD IN MY HANDS

Ayo you can’t just end it like that. I need to know more about your evil Diantha AU
Like which Champions would follow her, does Malva know she’s working with Team Flare, does Diantha become the new boss after girl bossing her way to it?? Also what rank Diantha was
God I love AUs where the supposed hero’s actually turn out to be the villains
You get it omf cjmdnck
But anyways owo
Diantha is the head of Flare from the start, like she probs saw people go on their expectations on her and such and she think they've no right to place those expectations of her and being pissed once she doesn't reach it, considering that as champion she also can't set that standard to the people or else they'd see her as unworthy to be one. And she hates them, she hates how they even target her brother saying that his sister is a champion, why can't he be a determined battler and trainer like her?
So hey, she knows how much power Lysandre actually has, she fed that drive of his to create a "beautiful world" as he'd call it, a world devoid of selfishness and expectations, a world devoid of those negative qualities they dubbed as the world's "ugliness" and she did so without anyone ever knowing she was the one who drove him to ever summon Yveltal
What she didn't expect tho was for those young trainers to stop Lysandre, and to see him be beaten by children was a low blow even for him. But it made her realize just how strong a trainer is no matter how young to fight a legendary Pokemon and the supposed Boss of Flare, as long as they're determined enough. Calem never got Yveltal, he tried using the Master Ball on it too, but to his surprise it broke free, not knowing that Yveltal already serves Diantha as his master. But hey, Calem did beat Lysandre, and he and the girls left the place to head out to safety, while Lysandre was left behind.
Ofc, Diantha got there before the HQ was in rubbles, and I want Lysandre to like, be crushed on a large debris on his lower half, so he still gets to look up at Diantha, sees the grace and beauty of an angel, but also cold and dead stare of a demon. Diantha kneels before him, grabs a fistful of his hair, forcing him to really look at her, eyes flaring with such rage he never thought he'd see in her.
"You failure, defeated by children. And you have the gall to use mega evolution, only to lose to them?"
"Diantha—"
"Quiet. Using my brother's mega stone and you still lost, putting my plan in vain. You incompetent fool. I've no use for you anymore."
And she calls out Yveltal one more time, staring at Lysandre with those icy blue eyes, one last time she smiled at him, softly, in that sweet angelic voice, saying, "Oblivion Wing," and calling out Gardevoir to teleport her away as Yveltal goes on a rampage before calling him back to his own PokeBall
Lysandre's body was never found after that
And as for Malva, well, she doesn't know Diantha's the real mastermind behind Flare, but Diantha does know about Malva's involvement in the organization
Just Malva searching for Lysandre in the remnants of their HQ, only for Diantha to be there behind her, going "looking for something, Malva? Oh, I'm sorry, rather, are you looking for someone?"
Malva turns to her, and for once in her life she felt cold sheer panic within her chest as she's face to face with Diantha, in her hand Lysandre's Mega Ring
"such a shame, it would've went perfectly. Unfortunately, it went awry. I wonder why." She's there twirling the ring in her hands, placing it on her own ring finger, then she smiles at her, a click of a PokeBall and Yveltal is behind her, looking at Malva like a hunter stalking it's prey. Like how Diantha is looking at her.
Malva could only hope, could only pray, that there's still an ounce of mercy within Diantha. And perhaps that's what she'll do, worship the angelic queen of Kalos, just to spare her mercy and salvation. For now she knows just what happened to Lysandre.
Now w the other champions, well, we all know how Geeta will always do what Diantha says, no questions asked, and she'd follow her angel anywhere. Lance would obey whatever his queen would command him to do. These two are powerful trainers, Champions, and Diantha has complete control over them. She knows just how willing these two are to kill for her, and she just knows what to give for them to do it.
After all, they're no fools, they're better than Lysandre. Perhaps they can do a better job than him.
Right?

look i love making sae be the one who's so in love and showering hajun with so much love and affection but it's much more fun to think that HE fell harder than her
#it's the she fell first he fell harder thing. gooodd hjs have such common dynamic the frustrating and infuriating type#like look at first she have a crush on him right but as a model. that girl is literally a moth she gets attracted by those with light#though at first she admires him as a model and knew him through toma- her kamioshi. though i think... she just starts admiring him a lot?#she literally went through a 'highschool crush' phase but late since she was like. at college 😭#observed him... wow he's a lot similar to her than she thought. that guy puts up a smile in front of strangers and keep people at a distanc#he looked... strangely alone. why? even though he have friends too. she saw herself in hajun and... didnt want to be like him#will she keep putting up a face too? will she keep lying to herself? and would that make her alone in the end as well? she didnt want that.#so shes like yknow what? let's be shameless. her friends had been so loving of her unconditionally.#she thought that they'll leave after highschool and yet... and yet they stayed. they keep approaching her.#and come to think of it... they're always the ones giving effort for her right? when it comes to planning for hang outs-#they're always the one to reach out. never her. shouldnt she return the favor then? love them as much as they love her#pour all her heart out. she used to do it- she can do it again. love people unconditionally without expecting anything from them.#surely this time it'd be different. surely it wont drain her. even if there's a chance they'll leave her- it doesnt matter now.#she knows she gave her everything and that's enough for her. maybe she'll feel better if she had realized this when she was a child...#but that's okay now! so for now! lesson learned: dont be hajun#but also sae. just have a different view of hajun in her head 😭??? like she admits she didnt really know hajun before but actually meeting#him must be so complicated for her lol like this guy used to be her crush! and she got to talk to him but holy shit he's lowkey an asshole😭#not even lowkey but he really is a bitch lmfaaooo so like. damn 'i forgot i used to have a crush on this guy like i used to like him???'#'in what way??? (his looks dont even deny it sweetie)' i think her crush on him in the past made her more snappy towards him now lmfao#like 'gooooddd i used to have a crush on THIS GUY??? that's making me piiisseedd' LMAAAOOO 😭😭#i genuinely have NOOOOO idea how they started having this dynamic but it's just. them lowkey insulting each other? not really INSULT insult#but rather bickering masked by politeness? like 💢^^) (^^💢 selfish ohime-sama vs black hearted prince#but the one who's usually losing here would be sae ngl and hajun's mostly the one being playful tho tbf they CAN calmly talk to each other#sometimes they just become competitive? sae herself is a competitive one at first it would be 'oho~ let's see how long he can keep this up~#to 'give up already!!!! my social battery isn't gonna last long!!!!!!!!' and hajun's just watching her lose it every time 😭😭#ah.... my absolutely pathetic daughter im so sorry..... when it comes to him she gets unreasonably annoyed. just who does he think he is?#and yet she can't even feel arrogant around him. she knows bae are on a different league than her. that's why despite being very friendly a#expressing her admiration towards them she still puts up a barrier around them? it's not that deep she have her own close friends#yumeshipping — hajusae [prri]

reading Disco Elysium analysis posts is giving me fun new ways to conceptualize the ways society especially in regards to sorcery in JJK can be horribly flawed and traumatic. To the point I upset Myself. Anyway haha
#I'm not joking I'm thinking about like. Jujutsu society is not necessarily analogous to cops#Bc they are actually doing something Abt threats and most people are kinda literally forced into it? Like the fact there's so few#Sorcerers kinda. Like the kids don't really get a choice it feels like. Or at least they aren't able to make an informed choice about their#New Career because they are what. 15. Not to mention at least 2 students who joined bc the other option was Execution. Awesome#Totally not corecive system that it's unclear if this is an intentional aspect or perhaps just#A relic that hasn't been fucking FIXED: they're super fucking isolated not just in terms of small classes so much lower social interactions#Compared to public or even private schools. But also they cannot talk about the Literally Life Threatening Shit They Go Through with anyone#That 1. Didn't probably go thru the shit literally WITH THEM 2. Isn't older than them 3. They can be sure WONT get weird about their#''weakness'' anyway it's a mess. And I'm going to shove my fucking hands into that mess. Plus the fact jujutsu sorcerers are primarily give#Value within Jujutsu Society (plus like. Paid based on) their ability to do Violence. And other shit is pretty much dismissed#So like. These people 1. Are scarily isolated 2. Are essentially encouraged to see Regular People as 'lesser' whether that be in that#They're weak or in that they just. Don't know about jujutsu 3. Are encouraged to see violence as Important and one of the highest prioritie#For a sorcerer to master. Do u think a bunch of other sorcerers did the same/similar shit as Geto and just.#Didn't fucking register bc they were 'weaker'. Anyway Geto at least in the dub of JJK0 saying like#'the purpose of society is to help the weak and discourage the strong' yknow Satoru I don't think this guy had Principles and Morals#As much as he has Weird Indoctrination Shit Going On. Not even getting into my thoughts Abt Satoru n Suguru's relationship as#Special Grades and how that might be influenced by outside sources like the Higher Ups. Man I don't fucking CARE Abt Sukuna#I wanna know what the fuck was wrong w those old people. Why were they like that

Alright boys pack it up no more rain world posting new oni dlc is coming out in less than a week
#rat rambles#oni posting#rain posting#I jest I will probably still be posing some rain world stuff if I get around to designing more guys#but I can already feel the oni brain coming back and am half tempted to do one last comb through the files even tho I know itll be#pointless because the full dlc will be at my fingertips very soon#to be clear I 100% will be combing through the data of the full release too but thats a given#calvin my boy pls make it in pls don't get scrapped pls my boy#oh now that we're getting close Im gonna let myself talk abt this just this once but if you care abt potential spoilers stop reading#anyways so last I checked where the duplicant descriptions and stuff is stored there was an additional new duplicant named calvin#now I wasnt able to find anything else referencing him from my admittedly not super deep digging but he was there#I did thoroughly look through the spritesheets tho and hes definitely not there from what I could yell#or at least he wasnt when I checked idk maybe they put him in during one of the patches for some reason#but yeah I hope he makes it in despite all the specific advertising of them adding one new duplicant#its actually these descriptors that have been making me not wanna talk abt calvin dupe too openly as if he does make it in its probably#going to be a pretty big spoiler for a bit?#ofc if he is a secret of sorts then he wont be for long but if he is meant to be a surprise I don't wanna scream on the rooftop abt it#but I do wanna have proof that I found him before hand it he is a surprise I need to feel cool and special for looking at one file <3#yknow what I think I actually am going to pop open oni and tripple check that I'm not missing anything#I was playing rw a lot to cope with the dlc not being fully out but at this point Ive finished every campaign except saints#and saints is being a buggy bastard for me rn and keeps repeatedly softlocking me so Im giving up on it for now#like just this morning I did the entirety of the hunter campaign in like 2 hours I have so little left to do#if I do decide to replay a campaign tho it's probably going to be either gourmands or spearmasters since theyre my favorites to play as#idc what anyone says Ill always preffer the spearmasters story to rivulets I adore them both but ppl do not appreciate spearmaster enough#like every person Ive seen play it sees the ending as disappointing and I wont stand for it its high-key my favorite ending#now thats entirely because Im a moon enjoyer and a tragedy enjoyer but still I will always lose my mind over moon's final message
