#Nene/Hanzo

[tr4sh-talker]

my personal designs. yes hanzo is that short and squished

[asherashedwings]

my computer sucks ass please infodump about this pico game it sounds interesting

YIPPEE INFODUMP TIME 💥💥💥

Basically the game takes place 3 months after the events of Pico’s School, and Nene’s wanting to have a picnic with Pico and a few others. After a bit of convincing, Pico decides to attend. But when he gets there, he finds that no one is there, and a lone note sits on the ground

So Pico goes to save his friends (which consist of Boyfriend, Captain, Darnell, and Nene), who have all been locked inside a lab of sorts. The gameplay is just a simple point and click pseudo puzzle game with boss fights sprinkled in, just like the original Pico games

Along the way, we encounter guards, which I am assuming are Peniliens of some sort due to details revealed later (and also their horns/horned helmets, a trait only really belonging to the Peniliens in this series)

Remember those boss fights I mentioned?

Well, here’s those characters

First we have Fleet, a soldier for the Peniliens with a gun for and arm and duplication abilities.

His death at the end of his fight is one that is non-optional. Either Pico kills him or he shoots himself so Pico can’t get any information out of him.

This is me getting into theory territory, but note the goggles he’s wearing. It bares a pretty close resemblance to Hanzo’s. So maybe that means the night vision goggles Hanzo has are Penilien technology that Cassandra gave them.

Also, take note of Fleet’s duplication ability, that’s important for later.

Anyways, moving onto the next boss, we have Atomica.

She is likely some sort of bomb specialist (given her name and her literal use of them), and also possesses the ability to float.

After her boss fight, we learn that she’s actually an intern and doesn’t actually know any details as to what is going on. Her death IS optional, in which Pico can spare her due to her reminding him of Nene

If spared, she will help by releasing Darnell and Nene.

Then, the final boss fight: Conquest

Except that’s NOT a new Penilien character, is actually CASSANDRA in DISGUISE for SOME REASON??

But yeah, wanted to note Fleet’s duplication cuz Cass does the same thing, implying that either it’s just a Penilien ability and Fleet was also a Penilien OR I WAS RIGHT AND PENILIENS DO HAVE MAGIC THAT THEY CAN PASS ON TO HUMANS. CHAT ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER

Either option is possible tho

That is the end of my infodumping, I hope my rambling was enjoyable

@laisbethlolaworld25 What do you think of her?

[vivid-badsquad]

fuck you assigns every prsk character an overwatch main inspired by @probably-not-niigos post on the niigo mains

leo/need:

ichika: sigma. im sorry this boy plays tank and he is a sigma main and prob would be since the day he got released (its the space motif okay.)

saki: hm... im gonna get mauled for this but shes a symm main. she dapples in a bit of brig every now and again but she likes symms turrets a lot

honami: she mains mercy but she also plays a lot of like... soldier i feel. idk but shes def a mercy main

shiho: (dps) moira. im so so sorry he is a dps moira by default

more more jump!:

minori: kiriko main she loves kiriko with her entire soul

haruka: do i even need to think (mei. she mains mei purely for the penguin skin.)

airi: ramattra main. im not sorry for saying this she mains ramattra

shizuku: she doesnt play overwatch but if she DID she would totally be a hanzo main

vivid bad squad:

kohane: either a STUPIDLY good wrecking ball main or a mei main

an: sojourn main i wont take any criticism on this she spams "croissant?" before a game

akito: rein main standard tank player he can hit a good slam when needed...

he also plays bap

touya: im completely stumped... probably mains ana but he doesnt play too well

wonderlands x showtime:

tsukasa: oh you know this man either plays rein or illari. he doesnt have a set Main but he adores them (he pockets saki if they ever play together ^-^ turret siblings!!!)

emu: TRACER EMU TRACER EMU TRACER EMU TRACER EMU

nene: bastion main. shes like... a DIEHARD bastion main like she has the lego skin and all.

rui: torb main he enjoys the turret and spraying his ult at the Exact right moment

nightcord @ 25:00

kanade: def a lucio main she loves zooming around the map and booping people off the side ^-^ she plays tracer a bit but she gets dizzy after a while so she switches back to lucio

mafuyu: stealing mercy main mafuyu who just randomly pockets kanade. never revs mizuki no matter how much they scream into the mic. also never heals them out of mecha

ena: (if you couldnt tell, all the niigo ones are stolen because theyre so incredibly correct) born to main pharah forced to play echo. (she gets insane 4 kill reaper ults)

mizuki: born and bred d.va main. theyre probably top500 with purely d.va and they spam ";)" after getting an amazing bomb play

[paozudraws]

hanzo is also my pookie, I think he was targeted to join Cassandra's goth punks cause of his skills (being a pathetic loser). it always amused me just how much hanzo Stuck out from the rest, even personality wise, he's noticeably more excitable

perhaps controversial, but I like to headcanon hanzo as pretty obsessive. being obsessed with fuckedup anime media does crazy things to sbs perspective of romance. on top of his whole Ninja Way. the first and main object of these affections, was nene. but his obsessions only drive her further away and make it clear to the school's a freak. cassandra starts to take him in and that little smidgen of kindness is enough to change his whole viewpoint

I also don't think it's a coincidence that right before we meet hanzo we meet nene. I think he was waiting for nene specifically in the bathroom, so he could prove his love to her once and for all.

[mercurymarss]

if pjsk characters played overwatch

disclaimer overwatch is the only fps game ive rlly played and i dont like it very much but its the only one i know a little bit about so this can go for any fps game or fighting game in general i guess?? idk man i suck at overwatch and havent played in several months

ichika: plays like once in a blue moon, likes to play support (ana mostly) kinda mid at it, shes better at other games

saki: plays with wxs and especially with tsukasa and toya, mains kiriko, pretty good at it but not as good as toya

honami: doesn't play, watches sometimes, but doesnt like fighter games or really any video games in general

shiho: says she thinks video games are boring, but in actuality she just prefers team fortress 2

minori: doesnt play, but she's seen a few characters but doesnt know anything about them

haruka: plays against an from time to time, they play on different teams, and they don't play as much as they used to. mains ashe, very good at the game

airi: plays only with ena and akito, just picks a new character each time and isn't very good at adapting to it but is very competitive and stubborn about sticking to one character

shizuku: "that little hamster is so cute!" (doesnt play)

kohane: an convinced her to play so she could play with the rest of vbs, suprisingly good for a beginner, "can you PLEASE be the hamster!!!! he has such cool gameplay and hes so cute!" -an (silly)

an: very good at the game but pretty sloppy at it, plays with vbs and haruka, mains sombra bcause she likes the hacking part

akito: used to be really interested in the game, now only plays when hes with his friends, above-average at the game, mains genji "because he's cool"

toya: VERY good at the game, plays with vbs and nene and tsukasa/saki, hanzo main since day 1, very exact

tsukasa: plays with wxs, saki, and toya, says he's good but he sucks and blames it on literally everything else. mains lucio just bevause he thinks he's cool.

emu: suprisingly good even though she only plays with wxs, mains winston because she thinks hes silly

nene: VERY good, equally matched with toya, mainly plays with toya and wxs, mains reaper because hes just like her frfr

rui: pretty good, doesn't play video games that often because he has too much to do, mains junkrat because hes just like him frfr

kanade: prefers to watch

mafuyu: no way she'd be allowed

ena: a little less than average at the game, plays mainly with mizuki, airi, and akito, mains junker queen and widowmaker "because they're good characters" (she thinks theyre hot)

mizuki: plays overwatch A LOT because she thinks its funny to pretend to be an egirl, so she mains mercy and sometimes d.va, and she's pretty good at the game normally.

the end sorry

[starified-lizzy]

I really don’t want to do my Psych essay, so here’s a list of all the FNF AUs I have made since coming up with the OG, extensive au.

Edit: I should mention, if you want to use any of these ideas (EXCEPT FOR MY OG AU) for your own fanfic/plot, go ahead! All I ask is you credit me and even ping me so I can see your take on it! 👀

Starting off; OG au, Just because I can. Started off as Corruption mod brainrot, turned into a whole ass au with a fully functional plot line that I am SEVERELY procrastinating on because ✨frighten✨

I want you to keep in mind that a lot of my au’s after actually spiral from my main OG au.

Then we have an Avatar: The Last Airbender au. I basically said “fuck Korra, she don’t exist” and made Blue(BF) the water bending avatar. The plot line is changing from what I originally had it, but here’s everyone and their bending skill that I have come up with so far: (also more airbenders exist because yeah)

Blue(BF); water bender. Also the avatar

Sophie(GF); fire bender (and so are her parents).

Pico; earth bender, with an affinity for metal bending

Nene; air bending. She gives me gymnast/acrobatic vibes so yeah.

Darnell; Fire bender with blue flame and access to lightning bending.

Cass; combustion. Idk, I don’t care for Cassandra or her goons much, but it felt right.

Cyclops; earth bender, affinity for metal bending

Hanzo; non-bender but is a Chi blocker.

Alucard; air bender. He feels like an air bender to me.

Spirit; water bender

Soul; is Blue’s little animal guardian thing. Whatever the fuck Korra’s polar-bear-dog thing is is what Soul is. Melanistic with little white freckles down his back and pale blue eyes, but still the polar-bear-dog thing.

C; a black cat with a missing eye. Yes, I shit you not. Just a genuine fucking black cat with an attitude problem. Blue saw him and went “he’s mine now.”

- then is my FNAF security breach au. The story for it is a bit all over the place, but Blue is 12, and got lost and the Plex. Everyone else are robos lol

- next one is actually based off of the game Lethal Company. THATS RIGHT, A LETHAL COMPANY AU- but it’s almost nothing like how the game functions. Basically, Blue is a child when he gets trapped on a moon (fuck if I can decide which one-) and it’s basically like- he’s human but, he gets raised by the monsters (some monsters being Soph, Pico, Ne, and Darnell, among the actual game-monsters) so he’s liek- a monster by association.

- a Day of Dragons au. Because yes. I like dragons; and I like the funky beep boop game so, immediately mashing them together once I realized I can create shit from it lmfao

-this one is actually inspired by another take on FNF and Hazbin Hotel. Because I love the show. Alastor is surprisingly goofy. ANYWAYS- the reference it has to the other take on FNF(idk who’s take it is, but I love it plz lemme know who’s au/take it is so I can credit them) is that GF(Soph, in my case), is an Angel, and BF(Blue) is a demon. Pico and the others are thrown around at random depending on how I end up deciding they fit so they’re kinda unknown rn, but those two for sure.

-last au i recently came up with and kinda adore, is an apocalypse au, but instead of zombies, it’s just monsters. Like- each monster is different from another, but they all have a basic element that determines their overall design. Like the basic Fire, water, air, and earth, but it also includes ice, metal, life, necrotic(death), shadow and light. And when a human gets bit by one of these monsters, they too become a monster. I already have a general beginning plot laid out for this it’s kinda sad lmfao

Anyways have these memes from PhantomFear’s server. IYKYK

[beetleskeleton]

Beetle cuddle drabble thingy

✦Bed Bug✦

—-

The warmth from the bed sheets wrapped snugly around him first greeted Beetle when he opened his eyes. Sleep still dragged at his eyelids, tempting him to simply fall back asleep for another couple hours. He decided to resist the temptation today, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t cuddle up still. The weight of an arm across his back reminded Beetle of who exactly was next to him, and he definitely didn’t want to move away from it any time soon. 

Inching his way closer, Beetle snuggled up closer to Darnell, the taller man still being asleep next to him. Beetle couldn’t help but smile to himself, seeing the man sleep so peacefully next to him. Usually it took a bit of coaxing to get Darnell to fall asleep, but Beetle had expertly lured him in with the promise of cuddles. Darnell wasn’t nearly as bad as Pico by a country-wide margin, but he had his moments. Beetle wrapped his arms around him, holding him like a large plushie as he cuddled up with him. 

He couldn’t help but wonder if a middle-school Beetle would ever imagine this happening. Back when they were both just teenagers, in the world, just trying to make it through. They still were, and by God were they trying. But with how much the struggle had remained the same, the fact that they still had each other also remained the same. When he really thought about it: No, a 13 year old Beetle would never have seen this coming. It was funny, in a way. Beetle’s mind wandered, wondering if the goth punks would mind. Cyril would be obnoxious about it (as per usual, you got used to it), Alucard, Spike and Hanzo wouldn’t care, Pierre would try to be helpful and fail miserably, and Cassandra would throw a hissy fit for two solid minutes before suddenly she couldn’t give a flying fuck.

An endearing group they were, by no means perfect, but they were charming and enjoyable to have around. Outcasts supporting outcasts, as they would say. Beetle imagined that, in a person who grew up in Philly’s eyes, someone from the countryside in the West was no better than a fish in the middle of a hot skillet. He doesn’t recall if he ever asked Darnell that, maybe he asked Pico or Nene a long time ago. Either way, Cassandra must have seen some amount of potential in Beetle to pick him and adopt him into her select group of friends. Not like he really had a choice in the matter, he’d rather be in a group of outcasts at least willing to take him in than be an outcast by himself. In Philly, no less. Being on your lonesome was like having a deathwish apparently. At least, that’s what Cassandra told him, which looking back made it seem a bit more exaggerated than it was. Eh, close enough comparison.

Beetle was snapped out of his train of thought when he heard the living teddy bear he was clinging to start to wake up. Darnell blinked open his bleary eyes, a sleepy expression on his face. Beetle couldn’t help but giggle to himself, with Darnell noticing as he, in turn, smiled down at the cuddle bug. “What ‘re you gigglin’ about?” He mumbled sleepily, before yawning and stretching a bit. Beetle smiled up at him, “Nothin’, you just looked a lil’ goofy all sleepy and stuff.” He replied with a playful smugness. He didn’t miss the faint redness dusting Darnell’s cheeks after the fact, as the taller man turned his head away to hide his grumpily flustered expression. Beetle only giggled more, earning him another smile from the man that made the trying worth it.

I redownload SW5 for giving it another chance. I played for one stage then uninstalled it. I really want to love the game but I can’t. This is my least favorite musou game. The artwork & the stages are beautiful. The OSTs are great. They cut so many characters (all my favs except Hanbei were cut). The story writing is a mess. The new depiction for returning characters makes them become boring or awful like they turned Kenshin into Kanetsugu 2.0 and Katsuie downgrade into Oichi’s bodyguard (except Yoshimoto, Hanzo, Nagamasa, Toshiie and Hanbei, and maybe Nō and Oichi). The new characters not interesting for me, not enough for making them into my favorite, like when Yoshitsugu & Kojūro when SW4 came out. Shikanosuke & surprisingly Mitsuki, are good addition. I’m alright with Toshimitsu & Sena. Yasuke has potentials but the developers wasted him. I wish we can see how Yasuke adjust with the Japanese cultures and trying to understand the Oda officers, especially Nobunaga so he can interacted well with them. I really don’t like Kazuuji & Sandayu. They should be erased from existence. Some of the playable “UNPC”s are fine like Asakura, Dosan and his son I forget his name. I’m happy they also bring back Katsuyori. Takakage’s brothers, Mitsubuchi, and the Okabe guy are not needed. I wish Yoshiaki Ashikaga were like evil Liu Shan, act innocent and weak, always put fake smile, but actually a great schemer and manipulator. They already cut so many characters but they also clone the movesets!? I understand DW9 have clones movesets because they have over 90 characters. But SW5 with less than 40 characters? This makes the game more boring.

I won’t touch SW5 anymore until they released SW5-II and Tsuneoki Ikeda & Yoshinari Mori become new characters, or they bring back Ranmaru, Gracia, Masayuki, Ujiyasu, Aya, Nene & Naotora (just erased her sumimasen gimmick please). I’m really sad I cannot love the game like SW1-SW4.

[kw-warriors-innuendos-blog]

Nene:

1. While they pull off the Hideyoshi infidelity stuff as a joke, he doesn’t cheat on her in game canon, which makes her yandere persona even funnier. I remember a conversation in Empires 2 between Nene and Hideyoshi that she said she was going to break his arms and legs if he went after another woman, then in the Orochi series, Nene chases him throughout Orochi World so that he wouldn’t flirt with the goddesses or the DW cast. That being said, Nene’s a nice lady, I think her motherly persona is charming and cute

2. Well, Hideyoshi is her historically and canonical husband, but..that doesn’t mean that’s the only guy I like with her. At first, I thought I could get behind a Kiyomasa x Nene ship, but Kiyomasa is actually kinda creepy towards her, and a creep in general, so I pass on that one now. I thought she and Hanzo were pretty nice together...actually, what happens in Orochi Land stays in Orochi Land, she should have got with Sun Jian ;) 

3. Non-romantic OTP...hmm...her and Nouhime should interact more. I thought her and Bao Sanniang had a cute friendship in Orochi, same with Ayane and Sophitia, too. 

4. I imagine making Nene into a ninja when she was first revealed must have been a little strange at first; as she was known for being a nun, and the woman at Hideyoshi’s side. With the removal of Kunoichi in SW2, I guess Koei needed a female ninja and seeing that they wanted to go into Hideyoshi’s reign, it made sense to have his behind-the-scenes- wife as a ninja. Not just any ninja, but a ninja mom who hands out spankings like she hands out candy, I guess Dommy Mommy is a trope people like in Japan? Seeing that we would later get Aya and Zhang Chunhua as very domineering mothers (if I’m wrong with this, sorry, I’d love an explanation from the JP fans on this :) )

But I can’t really think of an answer too much for this one other than ^^

Not Worthy of the Light

 Title: Not Worthy of the Light

Category: Pokemon Conquest/Samurai Warriors

Pairing: Nene/Hanzo 

One-sided: Oichi/Hideyoshi

        Nene/Hideyoshi

Rating: T

Summary: The brighter the light shines, the darker the shadow becomes. When the light dims, the shadow protects the lights and tries to restore it.

Author’s Note: Merry Christmas! @liifesword. How did you know that I love to write for rare-pairs and the pair of Nene/Hanzo is beautiful. I’m sorry that I can’t draw so I hope this story works for you. I also took some elements from the Samurai Warriors franchise and combined it with Pokemon Conquest.

Disclaimer: I own no rights to the franchises mentioned. 

~~Story Begins~~

Ninjas were supposed to stay hidden in the shadows. Their names only known to their lords, but there were always those who did not fit the mold. The ninjas that do not blend in with the shadows, but filter into the light, those are the ninjas that are most dangerous when their emotions run high. If you bring upon a ninja’s personal wrath, the only thing I can advise, is to run out of town, but even then you might not make it out with your life.

-Excerpt from The Way of the Ninja by Motonari Mori

The only way Nene could be described was a candle with a flame that made shadows dance with her movements. The way she moved on the battlefield, spinning out of her enemies attack range while her Crobat swooped in for the finishing blow or a poison strike rivaled even the dances of Okuni on the stage or off the stage. 

Hanzo would deny it publicity, but he knew he was a coward when it came to Nene, even though it always seemed like he was scolding her and Kunoichi. He would use excuses to visit her kingdom of Viperina, ignoring the laughter of his Spiritomb and Gengar, ignoring the knowing looks that Ieyasu and Tadakatsu shared when Hanzo was gone.

He was content to watch Nene and her Crobat from his beloved spot in the shadows.

Until that monkey showed up.

Nene’s full focus centered on that monkey and his equally ridiculous monkey partner like it was the center of her world. She treated him like he was the sun when Hanzo knew that Nene could outrival the sun with personality. Even when the monkey’s attention was making Oichi jealous over his status as Nobunga’s right-hand man.

Oichi was unimpressed and neither was Nobunga, since Nene was the one who got him that position. Nobunga also gave the proper big brother speech and the face that Hideyoshi wore is one that Kotaro still looks back on as one of his fondest memories.

That didn’t stop Hideyoshi and his quest of gaining Oichi’s heart, even to the dismay of Nobunga, Oichi, and the warlord of Aurora, and he tried another way to make her jealous. He courted Nene in public which caused a lot of warlords to give warning advice (Kotaro’s promise of chaos hidden in his message from Ujiyasu to Nene was heard) if she needed Hideyoshi to be taken care of. Hanzo was one of the many ninjas who had to resist the temptation of hunting Hideyoshi when he started to chase after other females while Nene stayed loyal to him.

No one saw the light that is known as Nene begin to dim except for the one who protected her and watched from the shadows.

~~~

The first spring breeze fluttered through the newly reawakening leaves as the region enjoys its first spring with no bloodshed. The glow of the crescent moon illuminated the dark night and the lone female with golden armor and brown hair that stood on the balcony.

“Have you come to laugh at me as well?” Nene said as tiny bumps formed on her skin. A mixture of cool air from winter trying to keep its grasp on the region as the days grew warmer and the ominous feeling of being prey that always accompanies two ninjas from the shadows.

“…No,” Hanzo said as he stood beside his fellow ninja. His black and dark purple armor blending into the night, the only movement that was noticed in the night was the black hair tied out of his face. A simple illusion to think his enemies were being attacked from the corner of their eye, but their fate already sealed as the ninja was behind them.

They stood there in comfortable silence, a trait that calmed Nene so much during the war in Ransei. Her Crobat flew into the night, just as careless as her partner used to be and not the shell that she is now. His Gengar watched from the shadows just as vigilant as his own partner.

“He’s an idiot,” Hanzo said.

“Is the world ending after the war stops?” Nene said. “Kuniouchi said the same thing to me this morning. In fact, that was her alarm for me.”

“…”

“Everyone has been watching me, but you have kept an eye on me even beforehand. I always found it comforting and even now it’s been a big comfort. Especially since I know he’s in town right now, trying to outdrink Keiji and chatting up Okuni.”

“Okuni finds the monkey dull and boring,” Hanzo said. “The monkey is not work the pain. You are worth more than him with your Crobat alone, let alone your own ninja skills.”

“Hanzo…”

“We work in the shadows, Nene,” Hanzo said. “We can mask our emotions until the perfect moment arises for our revenge. His guard is never up, it is always down. Even when we were in war.”

The silence between them came back as they stared at the moon. The silhouette of a Crobat cawing out its sorrow of his mistress’s heart the only sound in the night.

“Hanzo.”

 A slight movement of his amethyst eyes let her know she had his attention. It was little movements that she had to look for when he interacted with the other lords to see how he treated them. It took awhile for her to realize she was one of the two lords who used body language to talk.

“Can I borrow your Gengar for a few nights?”

“…If you must.”

~~

Ninjas must always hide their emotions in case their enemies use it to their advantage. However, there are two sides to every tale, ninjas emotions can also be their most powerful weapon. Soon, the region of Ransei would know that the anger of Lady No or Lady Aya and their long feud over beauty did not make them the scariest woman in the region. For the anger that Lady Nene had shown made Lady No and Lady’s Aya child’s play in comparison.

-Excerpt from The Warlords of Ransei by Motonari Mori

~~

The older Warlords watched as Hideyoshi started to become paranoid. His two trusted officials, Kanbei and Hanbei, both had a knowing look, but refused to say anything. Kanbei has been the one to keep Ignis in order and with the help of Hanbei, Nobunga, and the warlord of Aurora, they were working on making a treaty to force Hideyoshi into giving up Ignis to Kanbei as he has been neglectful in his duties as a warlord.

When they finally found Hideyoshi, his Inferape told their pokemon about how his master has been haunted by nightmares and hallucinations. That it was just this morning, Hideyoshi had woke up to a blade being pressed against his neck by Lady Nene with Crobat’s fang dripping with a dark purple liquid right above the blade. What she said to Hideyoshi, Inferape did not know, but Hideyoshi had been rocking in the corner of a dark room for a majority of the day.

~~

“Hanzo, are you here to question me over Hideyoshi’s claim?” Nene said when she felt that familiar chill that no longer made her feel like prey (unless it came from the agent of chaos).

“I do not know of what you speak of,” Hanzo said with a slight glint in his eye that told her he was playing ignorant.

“Then what brings you here?”

“Lord Ieyasu has personally let me go from his services and I am in search of a new master,” Hanzo said.

“Do you wish to join me in Viperia?” Nene said.

“If I may be of service to you, Your Ladyship.” Hanzo said.
