#RO lore

[venomvalley]

I will put aside my fear of being annoying and finally ask you the questions I've been wanting to :)

As you've been talking about Appalachia occasionally, you've made me curious: what's your favorite thing about your home? Anything you've been growing up with, anything about the culture that you've grown to love or always have appreciated?

(also, I think the way Appalachia is spelled just makes sense. The placement of the letter is just really satisfying and pretty, you know?)

What's your favorite childhood dish? Anything your family used to make that now is really comforting? Maybe even something that's typical for your region?

What about any hobbies besides writing? Anything you've been wanting to learn or catch up on?

oh my god you have NO IDEA how much this ask means to me!!!! i love talking about my home and culture so so much 😭😭

to answer your questions:

the mountains are definitely my favorite part of living here. i spent the majority of my childhood up in the hills, wading through creeks, setting traps for crawdads. me and my brother used to stay out from dawn til dusk across the creek, and we never were allowed to go past the bridge at my great aunt's house. going for a walk down the holler with friends is such a summer activity that i aint done in YEARS.

around middle school/the beginning of high school i started to get real insecure of my accent. i had just gotten my first laptop and noticed that a lot of the people online sounded nothing like me, and it only got worse when i started visiting my family up north. i learned real quick how to sound "proper" to fit in better with other people. also i hated appalachian food—really, i just hated being appalachian in general—when i was younger.

SPEAKING OF FOOD, i love appalachian dishes. i was lucky to grow up with two sets of grandparents so a lot of the food i've always eaten has been traditional. the way the old timers used to make it. my favorite memory ever is sittin on the porch with my mammaw, stringing green beans into a grocery bag. my comfort dish, like most other people around here, is the tried and true combo of soup beans and cornbread. for sides: fried taters, cut vegetables straight from the garden, and salmon patties. another is homemade chicken and dumplings (actually we fixed this yesterday LMAO). CATHEAD BISCUITS AND GRAVY.

to answer your final question, i love playing piano and mandolin. been a huge music fan since i was little, and i can thank my mom for that.

also i really wanna learn how to crochet clothes but i don't see that happening cause of my arthritis 😭 makes me so sad

10 years late hi guys remember that one aimros fight! crazy stuff

[jeyneofpoole]

dany shouldn’t be at the club she should be at the barn that she mucks out as a summer job forming an unbreakable psychospiritual bond with the horse that no one before her could ride (he’s misunderstood) and then they go to City and win Big Show together so he doesn’t have to be put down for his behavioral issues and also he finally jumps the water obstacle (reoccurring metaphor for the struggles they’ve gone through as a team) and she makes enough prize money to buy him forever the final shot is of her bareback riding him into the sunset as a pop song about being free from 2010 plays in the background. if you even care.

There are so many naruto time travel fics out there but what I need SPECIFICALLY is an ANBU era team of Kakashi, Tenzo, Itachi, and Shisui getting flung into the founders era.

Like. Ok just looking from the political side of it that's;

A) 2 very young and VERY powerful Uchiha's (one of which is the future clan head!! Politics!!)

B) A very fucked up baby mokuton user who's still in the middle of being deprogrammed and can totally pass for Senju

C) The free wild card that is Hatake clan lore on top of having a stolen sharingan. On top of *that* him being the team leader of a team of kids who, in the time period context, should both be at eachothers throats and probably not be expected to obey the commands of someone not only from another clan but a way smaller one

Theres SO much potential there!! So many political implications in virtually ALL of the directions!!!!

Yk what as I'm typing this out I'm having ✨️ideas✨️ so let's make some story points to sort those out:

• I think itd be neat to have this happen like. A year? Ish? Before the massacre? So age wise, and full disclaimer I'm referencing Google and Wikipedia rn so I could totally be wrong, I think that's :

Kakashi (18)

Tenzo (17)

Itachi (12)

Shisui (15)

Could be wrong about the ages but honestly it's my world you're just living in it, so.

Then me going totally purely off of my own headcannons, were going to say they came in a about a year before Izuna died and place the founders ages as:

Madara (23)

Hashirama (23)

Izuna (19)

Tobirama (18)

Big fan of Tobirama being the youngest between the 4 but projecting the aura of someone as old as like. Idk, however old Madara is. Very funny to me, 10/10

• I'm personally a big fan of dogteeth kakashi so we're running with that all the way home. Also a huge fan of the "Hatake's are a distant, more feral cousin of Inuzuka clan" hc along with some sprinklings of "back in the day they had a bit of a Reputation(tm) for being a 'lill wild, and everyone generally tries to avoid them. Which isn't too much of a problem because theyre a very small out of the way clan from Iron, they just have a big reputation in contrast to their size.

In more modern times tho, along with (obviously) having dwindled down to a single depressed teenager, they've become a lot tamer over the years due to village life. Kakashi is a Hatake, 100%, but he is NOT up to the standards of this time. Which becomes a bit funny when people see him, go "oh FUCK it's a Hatake" and then start edging slowly towards the door like he's about to rip their throat out with his teeth. Meanwhile he's standing there like 🧍‍♂️"am I that ugly."

Give me a scene where, finally used to this reaction to him from the general shinobi population, the team starts to use it to their advantage.

"Give us the scroll or we'll let the Hatake off the leash to have his fun with you. He's been awfully hungry latley you know, hasn't had fresh meat in days"

Kakashi, feeling kind of stupid, gave his best growl.

It caused an almost immediate, embaressed flush to rise to his face, but he didn't let up. It sounded more like an almost pathetic puppy growl than anything to his ears, but apparently it was enough to convince the trembling enemy nin because he slowly lifted the scroll up in offering.

Wow. Now he couldn't tell if he was embaressed for himself or for this guy.

Probably both to be honest.

• So like. Itachi is the clan heir. That's big. That's important. Let's do something with that.

First off, I had a great time reading this one fic (tho I don't even remember what the fic itself was about now, oops) where a plot point of it was how Sasuke is just a walking stereotype of main house Uchiha. Like people look at him and they don't just go "oh that's an Uchiha." They go "oh fuck that's an UCHIHA Uchiha." He's so fucking painfully, obviously related to the very tippy top of the clan that anyone not blind can tell. It's in the way he looks, it's in the way he talks and treats those around him, it's in the way he fucking holds himself. You look at him and every other stereotype about the Uchiha clan is there in big, bold letters. (On top of that he's also a dead wringer for Izuna, which I'm such a sucker for and desperatley wish people would do more with)

So like let's give that to Itachi here because it's so fun for several reasons.

First off; Sasuke in this is like. Straight up a doppelganger of Izuna, just a few generations apart. They could be twins. Itachi, as I'm sure you are aware, is Sasuke's big brother. So let's take some liberties and say that Itachi could absoloutley pass as a blood sibling to Izuna and Madara.

He is however 12, so we're also going to say that the only people who get to make this connection is anyone who's seen the siblings when they were also at a similar age.

On top of that however he has the 'walking amalgamation of all the stereotypes of the main Uchiha house' so anyone who isn't blind will look at him and assume he's somewhere in the sphere of 'important main house person' tho who really knows how distant the relation may be exactly. No one !! That's who !!!

Second; He's the fucking clan heir!! What the fuck!! This bit would have the most impact after all the messy time travel reveals when things have settled down a bit, so it'll sit in the back pocket for a bit. Save it for some fun shaking up later down the line so we don't run out of all the fun reveals too fast and bore the readers, yk?

When it is brought up tho it'd be fun to maybe have some fucky Itachi and Madara mutual understandings of the way things work.

• So. Madara is like a bit of a scary bed time story to Uchiha children, right? Like. "Ooo make sure you don't get too obsessive or fall too deep into your grief and always stay loyal to the village or you'll end up just like Madara!!"

Something something Uchiha-Village relationships are tense as hell, something something Madara fucking over a lot of the clan with his whole. Everything., Something something scapegoat and old stories, something something 'people have probably been talking a lot more about how "god dammit this all started with Madara" in recent years.'

Now with that in mind let's take a look of what our time travelers think of Madara:

Itachi is a good Konoha soldier. Itachi (as has been very much fucking proven) would rather beat a possible problem before it even exists with a hammer till it dies an ugly bloody death than even RISK it blossoming into a proper problem. Itachi does not like Madara. Itachi personally, quietly thinks they should maybe wait till the village is formed then carefully arrange a little accident for him before he goes off the rails. He, even more quietly, maybe even thinks it would be a kindness. Allow him to be remembered well by the village instead of scorned.

Shisui I think is cautiously optimistic about him. He's the kind of guy who gives the benefit of the doubt, who weighs the options, risk and reward, but includes things like hope and compassion in his calculations. Yes, Madara was a uhh. Thing. That happened. But in every story his big blow up always come from one specific event; Izuna's death. So if they stop that from happening, wouldn't it secure both a better future for them and Madara? The history books never went into detail about Izuna, he doesn't know what he's like, but maybe his involvement in the future, on Konoha's side, could lead to even more profits for them long term. At the end of the day he's not against killing Madara (though to be clear, they are at first operating on trying to avoid all interactions with historical events and return home without touching things) but it'd be nice, to manage to get a happy ending for everyone. Unrealistic maybe, but nice.

Mmmm hear me out actually, maybe Shisui, after interacting with him a bit, finds that Madara reminds him of Itachi too. They definatley both have that "I would do unspeakable things to even dream of my loved just one more time" energy, if you know what I mean

Anyways; Kakashi and Tenzo are both neutral on Madara. Yes, they learned about how he betrayed the village when young just like everyone else, but they weren't getting the bed time stories and "do this and you'll end up just like him" warnings like the Uchiha's. They're possibly leaning into negative but are detached from the situation enough to just go "well he hasn't done it yet and his brother is still alive so he won't any time soon" and be done with it

• Now, on the the total opposite side of the spectrum you have Hashirama and Tobirama. People are brought up in Konoha to fucking IDOLIZE these guys. You can not tell me our team of time travelers wouldn't be at least a little awed to speak with them.

I think Tenzo would be the most wide eyed about Hashirama, both for the baseline "holy shit that's the Shodai Hokage" and also that fun juicy mokuton user imposter syndrome he has going on for him. That guys DNA is inside his body!!! Holy shit wait does that mean if someone did a blood relation test with them he might read as being related to him?? Fuck were gonna pocket that for now but like. Mmmmm potential.

I'd say Itachi is the most hesitant about Tobirama but again, village loyalist, so.

You know what tho maybe Shisui is the most hesitant about him (though still largely positive) he both def grew up looking up to him but can also see the anti-Uchiha policies people inact now with the implications that Tobirama would have approved of it. He doesn't know if he would, but like, he has to wonder.

Kakashi is probably the most normal about them (and also has experience in being close to a hokage (Minato) to know that at the end of the day they are painfully human) Don't get me wrong, he's still in some sort of awe! He might get a little lightheaded at the thought of seeing the God of Shinobi in proper battle, or the possibility to see the famed genius of Tobirama with all the different jutsu's he's invented. You can't tell me Kakashi didn't spend a little extra time reading about him when he was trying to make Chidori. Honestly I'm gonna roll with that and say he had a bit of a phase as a kid where he was a total fan boy. Maybe sprinkle in the good old HalfHatake!Tobirama hc to add some faint daydreams a lonley babykashi had after his father's death, about getting to meet him as family. Like cmon, little genius idolizing and projecting on some big history figure only to find out they're actually related? Can you say potential?

Anyways he did eventually grow out of the phase, probably got unattached to it all and lost interest after the whole "losing everything he loved" bit of his life. And at the end of the day, he doesn't have any real complex personal hang ups on the founders like the others do. Thus, most normal.

• And then my favorite most special boy, Izuna !! He's for sure the one they're all most neutral about. He's not actually taught about in the academy? There's probably some throw away line about him in some history books somewhere, but he died young and was quickly buried by the looming shadow of Konoha. The only real knowledge had about him in modern times is just a vague "Yeah he got killed by Tobirama which lead to peace being made but also lead to Madara losing his shit"

Poor Izuna he's the linchpin for it all but was left an unremarkable footnote of history. My boy deserves so much better

Tenzo doesn't actually even know who he is, that boy got bare minimum education under Danzo and Izuna was NOT included.

Itachi and Shisui mmmaybe have some small little fun fact here or there buried in stories from the older members of the clans but like. It's gonna amount to just "yeah he had a great katon" and thats about it.

I WILL SAY HOWEVER. Itachi sees him and instantly is that one PTSD dog meme. Sasuke is a BABY but holy shit Izuna looks exactly like he'd expect him to grow up as and it's making him FEEL THINGS. Also he's so bratty little brother coded !! He's an entire 7 years older than Itachi but Ifachi keeps fucking up and trying to big brother him it's embaressing.

And ofc Itachi didn't go into the first meeting thinking he'd see some weird older mirror version of his beloved baby brother who he misses and worries about very very much. So like. There's for sure going to be some conflict there. If their first meeting is a scuffle (which it probably will be) I think Itachi would keep hesitating to attack. On full run away mode. Which is probably for the best bc he shouldn't try to fight Izuna anyways honey he's like double your bodyweight and you're strong but you aren't THAT strong.

• Pointing back at both the 'Itachi does not like Madara and has quiet thoughts about how it'd possibly be in everyone's interest to just kill him' and the 'Itachi and Madara quietly bond over being clain head/heir during stressful times (w pressure from the elders especially)

I can see 2 outcomes of a potential bonding conversation with them:

1) They come to understand eachother better.

Madara wants to be on good terms, he looks at this kid and sees one of his brothers eyes and the others quiet determination. He can tell Itachi doesn't like him for some reason, and it's frustrating because he doesn't know why. He wants him to like him. He wants to be able to offer his hand and have it taken. It hurts, to be looked at with such suspicion from a face that has traces of Izuna's.

Meanwhile Itachi . . . Itachi looks at Madara and he sees someone who gets it. Gets it like no one ever has. It scares him. He looks up at this man, this horror story he's been told to fear becoming, and he sees himself. And this realization shakes him. It makes him think, makes him wonder. He's so, so sure of his loyalty to Konoha. More sure than he is of anything else in the world. But . . . But if something happened to Sasuke, if he had to choose—

And maybe it softens something in him too, along with the (honestly healthy) dose of fear. It forms a little crack in his shell, just enough to maybe, maybe let Madara through. Just a hair.

Or 2) we pull one of those "The conversation ends with them agreeing verbally but mentally they're on 2 VERY different notes."

Madara, nodding and looking at Itachi meaningfully: "Yeah it can be hard, but all we can really do is try to make the world a safer place for the ones we love. (To create Konoha, to keep my clan safe. Izuna safe. And now to keep you safe too.)

Itachi, nodding slowly: "Yeah. No matter how hard it is (even though I think I understand you more than anyone else Ive ever met) we have to try to make the world a safer place (by killing you in your sleep once Konoha is formed) for the ones we love (My clan. My village. Sasuke.)"

• Also pointing back at the 'Hatake warring clan era reputation,' the 'Tobirama is half Hatake' and also now pointing at Tobirama's title as the White Demon. Small thing but it'd be neat if there was some small throw away line that the nickname lowkey started in part because of the absoloutley terrifying reputation of the Hatake combined with Tobirama's own Everything(tm) like it just had some influence on how some view him. Give me Uchiha's making dog jokes ab him it'll be funny

• Ok but now the actual plot thoughts. Yeah I know I kept you waiting sorry about that.

So time travel! Probably due to a mission gone wrong. Some ruins or some ancient crumbling scroll that wasn't even supposed to do fucking time travel but was so old and corroded that it somehow managed to transform into a whole other seal by pure bad luck. Or good luck I guess, considering it could have just turned into a nuke.

Our favorite team of disasters are very very alarmed !!! What the fuck !!! Obviously they don't default to thinking time travel, but they immediatley know something is wrong. The landscape has changed, though the big landmarks are still there. The mission was complete anyways with no injuries so they just retreat to Konoha. Only oops !! It's not fucking there!!!

Queue alarm.

Shisui is the first one to suggest time travel because he's quirky like that. And there's a very easy way to confirm this theory.

(Also we're going to say that Konoha's location is a valley a few miles out from the Naka River that borders the Senju / Uchiha territories.)

This is convenient because that verification method involves checking in on where Itachi and Shisui know the old Uchiha compound should rest.

They do it in full stealth mode, the second they saw Konoha was missing Kakashi as team leader decided they'd treat the land as enemy territory. They all agreed ofc, for all they knew this WAS enemy territory now.

And, ofc, yeah!! There's the old Uchiha compound!! Being active!!! There are people there!!!

"What are the odds Fugaku-sama decided to have the clan return to their homeland for ahh, cultural enrichment?" Kakashi asked weakly.

"Time travel." Was the only reply he got from Shisui, whispered reverently as the boy vibrated with excitement on the branch.

Itachi just gave him a look, radiating a level of dissaproving disbelief that no normal 12 year old should be able to make. Kakashi would know, he was that not-normal 12 year old once.

From there they decide a no interference policy. Hands off guys!! They probably debate it tho, like, a good amount. They all have ✨️opinions✨️ except maybe Tenzo who's lowkey still in the middle of trying to learn how to be a person and is following Kakashi's lead 99% of the time. Especially since they're still in mission mode and this is like a super serious discussion and he really does know the least ab the founders overall.

They probably debate the merits of going to Uzushiogakure bc seal help but it's really far and they don't actually have like, just any leverage with them. They already decided not to fuck with the future so it isn't like they can trade secrets and warnings. At least if shit happens here they have some plausible deniability, being, yk, 2 uchiha's and a senju-passing guy with Mokuton. Kakashi's kinda fucked tho in that regard but he isn't going to be doing the party ANY favors with his clan heritage.

Which means it's time to potentially get desperate enough to interact with Tobirama !!! Which will inevitably lead to them bumping into a Uchiha patrol or something!!! I don't know honestly

• Anyways want Hashirama and Tenzo to interact. He has so many issues like holy shit. Let Hashirama give him the hug he deserves. I want him to violently adopt him. New brother acquired!!!

I said before but Tenzo is still reprogramming from ROOT. Let Hashirama impact that! Let him help! They can make flower crowns and photosynthesize together idk

Hashirama would be so happy to have another mokuton user, I think they should be able to sense eachother extra strong and like 'ping' off of eachothers chakra, it'll be fun

▪︎ I'm not thinking toooo hard about power scaling and this is fanfiction so a) don't quote me on this and b) for the love of all that is holy don't take my words as gospel

But for this fic specifically I'm ranking the founders and Team Ro, weakest to strongest (in a clean, fair fight head on w no time to prepare) :

Itachi (he's fucking 12 guys. But also he is like. FRACTIONS under Tenzo and Shisui. If he were 13 I'd let him be above or at the same level but like. He's 12. Cmon.)

Tenzo - Shisui (they're like JUST under the next 2 tho like seconds behind)

Izuna - Tobirama

Kakashi ( by the skin of his fucking teeth and the advantage that is his stupid amount of jutsu's and lack of self preservation)

Madara - Hashirama

And again that's not counting like. The specific situations, time given to prepare, potential dirty tricks they could play (I think the Konoha tricks would play a fraction dirtier than the others, who are slightly more used to big open battles vs the ANBU squad who does all sorts of shit in all sorts of places) plus like. Mental state and team ups.

Tenzo or Shisui couldn't take down Izuna or Tobirama but if they teamed up I'd allow it. Kakashi would get his ass kicked by Hashirama or Madara but he could survive a minutes longer than the others would

Itachi is doing his best

But like

He's 12 guys

I love him and he is terrifyingly competent but he won't win 1 on 1 with anyone unless he has some sort of advantage. Minus Shisui and Tenzo who he does have the advantage of regularly fighting, so.

• I think they do get to go back home in the end. It takes a ton of work tho and they probably do need to get Mito's help with it, Kakashi can show them the seal they got brought here with but it's an ACTUAL one in a trillion miracle it didn't fucking atomize them. So it needs a lot of touch ups

Anyways !!!

I have a little more rattling around in my brain but I'm really tired and also starting to think about other things now so I'm gonna stop here. Might come back and add to it later so stay tuned if you're into that

Full disclaimer I'm not gonna write this. I don't have the proper energy and it'd probably end up being too ambitious of a project if I tried. I'd love to see it happen tho, so like !! Big open invitation to absoloutley anyone who might want to take even a fraction of the ideas I've listed.

@ me if you do tho I wanna see the final product

[tjodity]

I feel like Ros is a tragic character for a lot of reasons. And one of them is that despite being this incredibly vibrant and layered person, a genius architect, a black and white judge jury and executioner, deeply suicidal, capable of massive feats of empathy, deeply lonely even among friends, none of that really seems to affect how people treat her. It isn't the cause for the good or the bad things that happen to her. What influences these things is instead the 'idea' of what she is that they project onto her. Ros is treated as a damsel in need of saving, or someone misguided by more conniving, more truly malicious forces, or the nice and eternally patient confidant, or an infallible beacon of kindness. When Aimsey challenges Ros to a duel and gets killed it's because he refuses to believe that she could truly hold a deeply cruel and violent mindset of how the kingdom needed to be run. When people protest Ros's concerns about her place in the kingdom they call her the "heart", the "glue" that holds the kingdom together, they do not bring to mind that she built the kingdom brick by brick, killed to defend it, took the throne when Foolish died, and has handled most of the negotiation with other factions. When people cast aspersions on her friendships with Bad or Clown it is because they cannot believe that her flaws and poor choices are a real aspect of her born from a complicated human being. The further layer of the tragedy is that only her enemies and those who leave her seem to actually understand her. Owen is the one to comment on how greatly the kingdom undervalues her. Mocha is one of the few people to interrogate and dig into her thinking, and Pili2 becomes one of her closest friends in the kingdom despite being around for a fleeting amount of time.

[blahaj-my-beloved]

tr! in front of all names ty <3

"Do you ever feel bad about the mess we drag people into?" "Only if I care about them"

The tragic thing is that they did care. Bad and Foolish both cared about Ros so much. More than I think they were both prepared to. But in the end, the outcome remains the same.

Both of them tried to walk Ros back from the edge in the only ways they know how.

Foolish spent the day trying to show Ros that Life can get better. Talking it through with her on the back of a camel and trying to get her to imagine a bright future where she can be happy, where she doesn't feel like she needs to apologise for simply existing.

And Bad, trying to show Ros the true cost of Death. Calling Aimsey to the castle the day before to show Ros that if she succeeds in her plan, she will be hurting the friends she leaves behind. The friends that care about her and who will have to grieve when she's gone.

And yet...

Ros had already made her decision. She'd been drowning for a long time, keeping herself afloat with castle distractions and by trying to convince herself that she'll be okay as long as she can be of help to others. But things went wrong. Her choices backfired and she ended up pushing away her Aimsey. Her lifejacket. And without that... She sank. The thing about drowning people is that you can reach out your hand as much as you like. But if they refuse to take it, then they will keep sinking regardless.

----

Also. I do think that Bad genuinely believes that he was doing the best thing he could for Ros at that moment. Ros wanted to die, she'd made that very clear. And I think Bad knew, or could maybe even sense, that if Ros didn't die by his hands... She would probably die at her own. And, despite it all, he did care about her. So, by giving her a swift ending. In the way that she asked for. Is that not mercy? In the eyes of someone who sees death at every turn, is a quick death not the last thing he could offer to someone who was slipping away regardless?

Maybe Foolish too, could sense something. He walked into the castle today and felt a shiver of fear down his spine. A premonition? Do you think he felt Death approaching? Searching for traps but finding nothing, because the life that was in danger... is the one that he transferred to Ros. Do you think he felt it, when that spark of life was extinguished? Did he feel an echo of a heartbeat going silent in his own chest?

Did it feel like failure?

In the end, in the final moment. Foolish and Bad did the things that came most naturally to them.

Foolish throwing himself in front of the crossbow, in front of Ros, trying to preserve the Life of someone he cares about at all costs. But a mortal life always has it's end. And Bad, keeping his end of the deal. Giving Ros her chosen ending as quickly as he knows how. Death, as inevitable as ever.

Foolish and Bad have been through so much together. But this. This... Has Bad ever crossed the line like he did today, in the long history that they share? Has he ever gone as far as to permanently take away one of Foolish's chosen people? I don't know if he has.

Is this the straw that breaks the camel's back?

[alchemicaladarna]

I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I genuinely think that killing tr!ros, regardless whether or not tr!bad explains his reasoning, which he won't, will have crazy consequences. There is a part of me that hopes everyone starts hunting him down, and then he suffers and possibly dies (as per usual)-

But at the same time, I hope they finally realize why tr!bad agreed to kill tr!ros. Because in understanding his reasoning, they would understand her suffering and her reasons, and I hope they just grieve and mourn her.

Because yes, Death pulled the trigger, but ultimately, tr!Ros held the gun.

notes on the war related current alliances & meeting notes before shit actually goes down for archival purposes:

tubbo and bad have a very strong ally ship and are acting as the main instigators of the war

pangi appears to be attempting to act as a double agent from within green to protect ros and aimsey (possibly due to the connection they formed in the null)

tubbo and bad focused largely on the "respect the princess" demand, sighting the number of tubbo's deaths by blue hands (from his deaths recorded on @/therealmsmpupdates, 2/9 deaths were by blue hands, which is about 22.2% [INSANE amount from his own faction at the time])

only aimsey, scott, bad, tubbo, pangi, and ros where present at the initial discussion of the demands (which makes 2/5 blue members, 3/7 green members, and 1/10 yellow members)

bad intends to bring yellow into the war through their ally ship with blue

scott seemed somewhat open to being absorbed into green, and most of his protests seemed to relate of the cosmetic changes the green was demanding

ros declared that yellow would defend blue, speaking on behalf of the faction as a whole

^in relation to the tubbo focus point, i think on a character analysis level most of this stems from his inferiority complex that has developed due to his treatment at the hands of blue

scott volunteered coy to act as blue's political representative

most of green's firepower seems to be based in the threat of snarmy (tubbo referring 2 them as a "good deterrent")

pili said he would've joined green if not for pangi already being on the faction

lmk if there's anything ive missed and should add :3 love fictional political intrigue

[fermentedroach]

started working on this the day the new sculk stuff happened and i. finally got around to finishing it!!!

close ups and doodles under cut!!

in the last one my friend tried drawing him on the right

[kadextra]

do you think he's familiar with being used & bound by an inherent sense of duty, ever since he resided above the skies? a destructive weapon to be released at a predetermined time, a producer, a bringer of results, a perpetual existence in which others act their own will through?

she comes to him selfishly asking for him to perform the duty he is best at. what else is he supposed to Do when he can paranormally sense the ominous feeling of her impending doom..? the sixth-sense knowing that even if he doesn't get involved, she will still go through with it herself- but instead in painful, utter solitude?

death is kind. it knows what dying alone feels like, it cares for her and doesn't want her to suffer alone. he will make the deal so as to prolong what feels inevitable, even make a bid to change the outcome by trying to surround her with loved ones even until the final moment. someone please do something, she is going to die, I am trying my best in the only way I can, with both of my hands tied

tr!ros didn't accept help. !bad was born to serve a duty. in the end he had no other choice but to become the tool she wielded, the existence she acted through, the bloodstained weapon that can't explain itself left laying at the scene.

Will we have the opportunity to talk about having babies in the future with RO? Also, I would like to know RO's opinion on having babies before and after MC.

All I can say is that the reproduction of supernatural beings has its own lore, and it will be discussed in detail if the MC expresses a desire to know this information.

I also included more information on that subject in the Q&A section of the "Patreon Content Masterlist", since some of the choices presented in the side stories may raise certain questions about the consequences:

About pregnancy: All female ROs have canonically established reasons why they cannot just become pregnant.  This may include the use of birth control pills [which are also prescribed to regulate menstruation and have this effect (for human ROs, if there are any)], or having a specified reason integrated into the worldbuilding [for supernatural ROs].

Fun fact: I actually shared a few more details about this subject with only one reader who sent me their SS fanfic, as it unintentionally touched on a theme related to this topic.

That [just like the fanfic itself] made me really happy because I love it when readers can feel the story even before it fully unfolds.

Thank you for the question!

So called "Arch-Mage", he seeks power because of freedom... Many eyes are on him, yet he thinks they all seek the same as him. Ignorant to others, blinded by the persuit of power.
