Juno Steel and the Things We Buried [get it here!]

I think there's a kind of fear that always comes with being in love. When letting someone else hold so much of you all at once. They could let you fall at any second if they wanted to. So how the hell do you get over that fear? Trust that they won't let you go, that they will hold you up, the same way that you hold them? And then I thought about a hotel on Mars a long time ago. A place where, to be honest, I let Nureyev fall. No wonder he was scared, no wonder I was too. But how the hell are we supposed to get past that?

Juno talks in a default font like Arial or Helvetica because his ancient ass can't figure out how to change it and Peter talks in those fancy calligraphy fonts that you momentarily dare to paste into your essay just to feel something

Danse has to get homesick In Sanctuary. Like despite being uncertain of how much his past is real including times with the Brotherhood, those memories were home. The Brotherhood was home especially the Prydwen.

No matter all the comfort and the luxuries SoSu could put to make him feel more relaxed or like it’s his space it’s still not home. It’s so unique to him cause everyone else has a home in a sense. A thing or place they can come and go to as they please while Danse doesn’t. He can never go back to the people he considered family and they can never go to him without serious consequences. It doesn’t help that (due to his own faults and beliefs) a good majority of the new people in his life do not exactly like him.

It’s so isolating for him as the wasteland is also a different culture in general. Theres so much he’s not used to vs what he is. But all in all I think that’s a good thing. I feel as if Danse had a better arc in game it would 100% have him learning or developing a sense of home before a sense of self. I think it gets overlooked that Danse is a person that likes or feels like he needs to belong to something. A cause, a philosophy, a mission. He needs a goal. He must learn to live for himself and his purpose but it’s clear he wants to find that through something which is why he latches onto the Sole Survivor after rather than just wander the wastes. He needs something, anything to base a sense of self on at this point in time and who better than the person that opened their home to him in the first place.

He’s a dude that needs a foundation or home to ground himself on or else he doesn’t know what to do with himself or even start.

i've joked a bit that zetian reads like a self-insert in the intentional wish fulfillment sense, which i do think is likely in some regards, but more practically, she is most certainly a self-insert in the unintentional beginner-writer sense: where an author writes all their main character's reactions by thinking "how would i react in this situation", even subconsciously, rather than flexing their imagination muscles to put themself in the shoes of someone who thinks entirely different from themself. so, for example, zetian is supposed to be this stone cold crazy unpredictable badass, and yet her actual reactions to the events happening so far have been a lot of fear and nervousness through which she manages to pluck up the courage to continue. this is probably how you or i would react if suddenly thrust into that kind of dangerous situation, but a stone cold crazy unpredictable badass...? there is absolutely no attempt to create a unique character perspective or mindset, with the result that zetian just, like, acts like a regular and kind of annoying person, while constantly telling us how stone cold crazy unpredictable badass she is [citation needed]

It’s time for another installment of “comics are really bad at placing ages!” Here we have a panel from Dark Knights of Steel. Your task: approximate the ages of these two characters!

That’s right! On our right is the young adult Bruce Wayne, and to his left is his fath-no wait! That’s plucky teenage sidekick Dick Grayson and not in fact, a 40 year old man!

Thanks for playing everyone! Come back next time for another round of “I love comic art but my god please figure out consistent ages please I’m begging you please”

[juliaturtlelover]

Okay, it's time for something new: Ven-Ghan design under the armor + redesign. I made him look more... alien? and insect like. He is shiny now lol. I'm aware that Ven-Ghan can't take his armor off, this is just to show him of. If I need to tag this as nudity tell me, ok?😅

I also decided this is a perfect post to vent about some of my headcanons))

***

Takonions as species are not completely gone)). Some, even if a few percent of the planet, evacuated. Jim implies so i believe. But it doesn't matter to me if that is canon or not, just a speculation based on level of tech development of Takion. Mostly upper class survives, and some who manage to get to refuge ships in time. As expected, most of those are kids who will never see their parents again.

***

Why Jim didn't come with his sodality? Bc Steel. Bc he was afraid others wouldn't ask questions and just shoot them both.

***

Where would refugees go? Another unexplored concept: the Black Star. Runs by Council and was created long time ago, as Makino's wrath began. I like to hc that Black Star is union of intelligent species that manages resources between them, organizes trade, cleans space from garbage that is left after planet destructions and productions of Ultralinks, and, of course, takes care of refugees, finds them new homes and jobs.

Don't be fooled: this isn't kindness, this is profit seeking. If you aren't helpful to community, you are treated like shit. But no worries, there are enough places where spare hands (or other limbs) are needed.

***

This is canon that Makino is an Ultralink that puppets a host. I add: they need an intelligent host to distribute processes. Why? Makino is connected with Alphalink and is responsible for it's main function: the creation of new Ultralinks. The algorithm goes like:

>Absorption of the planet

>"Digestion", so responsible Ultralinks dismantle planets for resources. Garbage, i.e. what cannot be used is thrown into outer space.

>Creation of Ultralinks; and based on used resources each batch, even each ultralink in it, comes out different.

So, more absorbed planets - more warriors - more defeated planets - more absorbed planets. A cycle.

***

Steel isn't actually so different from other Ultralinks (considering most of them differ), just free out of programmed loyalty for Makino, not the first, not the last. But how he works is kinda different, isn't it? Bc the way he connects to Jim and Max - not just through armor. Not just through body. Through Turbo energy in their bodies. Special kind of bond that Ultralinks aren't programmed to. There is a difference between taking over a body and using it's energy if it has any emitting, and bonding to energy, that automatically means being connected to body. Such bond is dangerous to Ultralinks too, as accidents like with Turbo Star result in different kinds of catastrophes. Forever run on this energy, for example. And Steel is lucky is was Turbo energy (it has a different name among Takions) as it is powerful enough to fuel such complex being as Ultralink.

***

***

No. Absolute. Way. Max would ever want to have a child of his own. Give birth to kid with a strong possibility that one day they start emitting Turbo energy and explode? Lol No. Max has much more common sense than that. And too much trauma. And while Molly and Jim couldn't have known, what were they thinking is beyond me.

I also hc that Turbo Chamber could have worked if Max was chill and still. But he was in distress, which resulted in higher energy generation than Chamber can hold. But IF that worked? Max would have to sit in it often, maybe even couple of time a day in particularly bad days, draining himself completely, and N-Tek would have used that energy as they desire. Lovable.

***

Max will major in ai and robotics. Why?⬇️

***

Alphalink was destroyed near Earth. All Ultralinks who didn't die in explosion had evacuated, and most of them landed on Earth. Now N-Tek has a lot of work to do.

***

I don't think Steel and Max will be comfortable with just killing them all. The solution is hanging near Earth: Ven-Ghan, and his knowledge about reprogramming Ultralinks. Ven-Ghan ultralinks are empty tho. Literal functioning corpses. And Ven-Ghan isn't even professional in reprogramming Ultralinks, just knows the basics from the Black Star Council. But it's up to these three + Berto and N-Tek to learn how to give free will to Ultralinks, how to rehabilitate them.

***

If you want to better understand my vision of programmed loyalty/free will in Ultralinks, watch Detroit: Become Human. Just imagine deviance, aka free will, as MUCH harder and complicated process that cannot be achieved from outside source unless it's heavy reprogramming/reboot/rebuild. And while N-Tek works on solutions, which can take years and decades, all is left is to fight. And Ven-Ghan may or may not get two apprentices)))

Fic: Paper and Steel (12/?)

Author: @miggylol

Fic Summary: Just a few days earlier, Natsumi Kuzuryuu was nearly killed. Her survival sends a ripple effect through the campus of Hope's Peak Academy, and directs people down wildly different paths than they might otherwise have taken. (chapter 1 link)

Chapter Excerpt: The girl that had intimidated Teruteru was a different story. "Ultimate Soldier," Peko murmured in uncertain tones as she reminded herself of the finalist. She narrowed her eyes as she looked up. "Why did the administration push for these two?"

Koichi shrugged. "Never try to make sense of their logic. They command, we do."

Peko's gaze flicked momentarily to Fuyuhiko. "But do you mean to say that this deadly combatant will be walking around campus with us?"

"Yep." Koichi looked pointedly at Peko, then at the sword bag on her back. "We do that. Anyway, like I said: along with the other 'yes' profiles over there, your plans will all include Mukuro Ikusaba and Junko Enoshima. Get back to work."

Notes: The slow, Titanic-like turn away from canon continues. But there are still icebergs out there.

[foxghost]

remember i said I was in chapter 4 of cold steel 3 and just waiting for shit-hits-fan moment?

that time has come

The best JRPG moment is the part where you find out the terrorists have been freedom fighters all along and your party's the one wearing the hats with skulls on them

not that it hasn't been obvious from the very beginning or anything, but the game throws you in school life so wholeheartedly that you forget you're in a fantasy-german military school pre fantasy europe world war II

Binging Amnesty is all fun and games until you hit the end of the Calamity Tree arc and you start the beginning of the snowball effect- well. The Calamity Tree arc was the beginning of the snowball effect tbh. The interlude after is just the start of the snowball picking up speed lol :/
