#I’ve been giving out so much lore hahaa-

[chaosduckies]

What was Liam's first experience with a sizeshifter?

Ooo I wouldn’t like to give too much away (for angst reasons later one ehehe-)

Liam did not have a good first experience at all. (very bad childhood) His dad and mom are shifters (she can shrink but never does, and his dad can grow) and his dad used his abilities to abuse Liam and his mom a lot. He basically became an alcoholic :/

Shifters in this world can’t pass their abilities to their children, it just kind of happens at almost any age, which is why Liam isn’t a shifter like his parents and why he didn’t just run away when he could Again, I don’t really want to say too much for plot reasons (I am still writing it!) but Liam will eventually talk about it.

Thank you for the ask anon! :D

'you have, hahaa. maybe use c.ai to fill the void? 👀 i use it before bed LMAOO'

if i start, i wont stop i fear. and then i will never get a boyfriend.

oh my god lore drop.

so basically i recently because friends again w my ex bf. we had a super messy breakup but at the end of the last school yr, we learned that our breakup was pretty much like influenced by people outside of our relationship. and i found out my ex bsf lied to me ab why he broke up w me so that was funny.

but anyways.

we became friends again recently and are doing our english project together. so, he drags his chair over to my table so we can work on it.

and every day after class, my friend who sits at my table tells me that my ex bf is interested in me.

lets nickname him. imma call him uhhhhhh... lets go with uhhhh actor bc he does theatre. (ikik).

but she's been like texting me everyday saying that he's interested in me. so, for like a day, i was like 'omg yeah he def likes me and maybe i'm interested in him too?'.

but then i like took a shower and thought about it for a sec. and i realized i probably don't actually like him but since my list prospects is so slim, i was trying to add one to the list.

however, with that said, if he were to ask me out or show more interest in me, i'd probably entertain it just to see if there's a spark there again.

especially since tolo (our winter formal) is soon and i need a date 🙏

last year i had a date and he sucked ass so i need to top that w someone i actually enjoy talking to.

so we shall see what happens with that!

back to our regularly scheduled content.

'he acts like a fully grown MALAKAI MORTIMER 💀'

'so maybe i’ll do LL smaus instead of gojo ones (i love love loveee gojo but my target audience is my LL audience).'

LOVE U WIFEY! SEE U LATERRRRR

I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO REPLY TO THIS IM SO SORRY’ — GIRL YOU’RE ALL GOOD, look at me replying late ‘cause i decided to disappear off the face of the earth 😭🫶🏽

‘I HAVE DONE WELL ON CUTTING HIM OFF TOO. HAVENT SPOKEN TO HIM EVEN ONCE SINCE’ — i’m so proud, i’m like a proud mother watching you thrive 😫

‘i swear im not cringe’ — I HOPE SO 😭

like the reason i write rom-COMS (emphasis on COM) is ‘cause i get cringed out by the lovey-dovey stuff. like, a lotttt. i’m talking the simple stuff too — nicknames are fine, but i have this hatred of shortening names unless they’re already shortened in canon 😟

like armin from aot being ‘min PISSES ME OFF 😭

or, honestly, looking at tumblr, i’d probably get jumped for this but idc — gumi for megumi actually makes me decompose (i don’t even read fics at all but when it comes up on my feed and i catch sight of it, i have to pace around my room for a bit 💀)

‘LMAO SMAU'S ARE SO GOOD FOR THAT KIND OF SHIT’ — NOOO LIKE IT IS FR, IT’S SO QUICK AND CONVENIENT AND FUN 😋

‘literally ive gotten hate comments for making lazy content' — girl you’re lying, there’s no way 😭 ppl will find anything to hate on i swear 💀

‘i keep nicknames NORMAL or like purposefully cringe to piss a character off ykwim’ — thank godddd 😫 i literally have a list of shortened names that make me wanna disappear 🌝

i like stupid stuff (hence megumi and y/n’s porcupine and mermaid — it’s dumb and used to annoy each other)

and in my levi fic, mc’s called fart girl bc of… an incident 💀 i’m telling you, if you ever do read it (don’t) venture carefully. the shit she does there is wild.

but again, you will never catch me using shortened names (wdym ppl call eren ‘ren??? HIS NAME IS ALREADY SHORT 😭)

‘if i start, i wont stop i fear. and then i will never get a boyfriend.’ — is that such a bad thing? 👀 you’re too fine to be with a m*le 😋

‘oh my god lore drop’ — 😋

read that whole thing and thanked the lord shitbag wasn’t mentioned HAHAHA. you really did drop him 😫👍🏽

actor may be a good person for you. but like, don’t lead the guy on just cuz you want a bf. let him know you’re just testing the waters or whatever 🙂 also this ex bsf or yours has been scattered around ur asks to me a fair few times — she seems EVIL wth 😭

‘exactly! however 3/5 of my top 5 schools come out this friday! i want to die!’ — YOU’LL BE FINE I’M SUREEEE

i think you sent another ask and it might’ve been about that, but my memory’s been so bad recently so i might just be tweaking 💀

‘THIS IS A GREAT PLAN. lowk if i'm ever in the UK we should hang’ — i’d loveee that but i’d be a terrible tour guide, like idek how to use the trains around here 😭

‘give me a sumaya lore update pls’ — we’ve been through this, i have a very generic life. i journal, bake, crash out, study, cry about satoru, cry about aot, and then repeat 🥲

i did just recently book a ticket to watch the aot movie in late feb with my sister tho, so there’s that! 😋

ILYTTT I’LL TTYL WHEN I’M FREE (from the shackles of exams sigh) 🩵🩵🩵

What Could/Would Have Been

So like I said, I’ve been looking over my Duality stuff a lot lately and it’s amazing what a couple of years of perspective can give you.  While I still feel my story was really strong, good lord did I cringe several times at my panels.  If I had no time limit and I could feasibly turn out 70 pages per chapter, maybe they wouldn’t have been so bad, but oh well.

I’m going to write under the cut some things I would have changed and where I had planned to take Sean’s story.  Long post to follow.

So. Woo. Round 5.  What a mess that was.  If I could change things, thing first thing I would have done would have been to completely redone Round 5.  I still wanted to bring the other Nords in but I rushed it too much (because I had no idea how many rounds we were going to have in total) and it made no sense for the timing.  Sean should never have broken out of jail and that’s one of the hahaa cringe things I see looking back.

I should have taken the time in the round to explore Sean’s insecurities that were brought up in earlier rounds.  One of which I mentioned a couple of times but never in plain writing was that Sean was afraid he was becoming less and less of a Nord the longer he stayed in Unova.  In drabble writing, Sean would always mention how “Nords never got cold,” but the truth was that Sean would get cold. And that scared him. A lot.

He also made a good number of friends with the Warrior Bros (Eric, Gaen, and Feliks) so he felt very conflicted after Round 4/start of Round 5 when his same friends seemed to have betrayed him and locked him up under Einarr’s order.  Granted, Sean was not in a good place after the death of Claymore.  It would have been better if Sean had limited contact with the other Warrior Bros while he was locked up to try and figure out where he stood with them.  Originally I wanted Sean to believe that the world was against him at this point, and that he had nothing left but the North, which is why he was so ecstatic to meet the other Nords.

Flea also would have been captured during the aftermath of Round 4 and would have tried to get Sean to talk about why he was there, etc. More forcing Sean to try and figure out or at least bring to light some of the many insecurities he had.  Eventually, the time would come where both he and Flea would have to be dealt with, but the thieves guild would already be ready to help Flea escape.  In the chaos that takes place, Sean would have had to decide between keeping Flea from escaping too, thus handicapping Reinhardt still (who was the big threat still in his eyes) or escaping himself.  Eventually Sean would have managed to get away, perhaps with some help from his friends, which only raised more confused feelings with him.  I feel like that would have been a better way to get Sean away from Castelia and out on his own than what I did.

So after that, what do we have? I can’t remember the theme for Round 6, but Sean meeting the Nords would have went about the same as I posted; with Sean also befriending Saber the Absol on the way.  Sean would warn them about Reinhardt wanting to summon one of the dragons and that would bring their travels West to where Team Black was hanging out.  Saber, however, wasn’t interested in any of this at all.  She was aware that Something Bad was coming up and Sean was the only one who was remotely listening to her.  In escaping the Black forces, Saber leads Sean away to where she was trying to bring him this whole time: to where Kyurem was starting to awaken.

Meanwhile, the brothers would have continued on their course to awaken their respective dragons and the two forces would clash; but still with equal power to each other.  Their fight could have been seen all over Unova and there was no ignoring it.  While the two dragons struggled against one another, the Princes’ forces would be rallying for one final attack against the other; however with the White forest haven been burned, and the Mage’s scattered after the Driftveil bridge incident, both sides were considerably weakened.

During what was to be the final fight, Sean would return, and he wouldn’t be alone.  This time, he brought Kyurem.  Upon meeting Kyurem (who was awake enough to speak at this point) he offered the dragon a deal: help him stop this conflict and it could take his soul and the soul of one of the princes (as was required for the dragon’s help; according to my lore, an ancient king of Unova have his soul to Kyurem to freeze Nordbor and put an end to their war; The king took up the dragon as his banner but if he wanted its help again, its price would double.) Kyurem agreed, as both Reshiram and Zekrom being awake had awoken it anyways, and the husk of a dragon entered the battlefield.

Kyurem would then attack Reshiram and absorb it, forming White Kyurem, and with its powers, release the eternal winter on the North.  Zekrom tries, and fails, to stop Kyurem and in the end either flees or is beaten so badly it is returned back to stone.  Kyurem then comes to collect the second soul he is promised and it’s not leaving until it gets what it wants. Everyone is pretty mortified by Sean’s actions but he says this is the only way he could see the war ending for good.  With Nordbor no longer struggling in the winter, they could become a more stable country and reunite together without having to invade Unova.  Faced a dragon of increasingly loss of patience, the brothers are forced to decide who is to be sacrificed, which, in turns, makes them realize that they really don’t want to lose the other - despite all the fighting the two have undergone.

Einarr eventually takes the bargain, stating that he would use his time to try and fix what was broken with the war, and Reinhardt will take his place when the time comes, with William keeping a very close (advisory) eye on him after that. Satisfied, Kyurem takes what was owed and leaves to places unknown.  I never really decided the effects of soul loss, but I figured it would be a gradual (but somewhat fast; a few years) decrease in life.  

After settling up some stuff in Unova, Sean would head back to the north with Micha and other fellow Northerns.  At last, Sean has to decide where he should belong for what life he has left.  He feels he has to return to Nordbor to help reclaim and rebuild what was lost... but he wouldn’t stray too far from the border, so that he could visit someone important to him (cough Micha cough) when he can. If Sarine allowed it.

SO THAT’S ABOUT IT.
