#Tera consolle

[xeo-kunsatan]

Got the Reaper!! Aaaaa

After less than 2 weeks playing Tera since 0 but in Xbox one, I finally unlocked the Reaper and now I finally made my Self insert there because I love the reaper type warriors.

It's so nice to finally being able to play once again a Game I had a lot of good memories and I love a lot.

[trueoathbreaker]

watching a video on forgotten/removed maplestory maps

making me miss exploring tera (i know different mmo) and the locations that stopped being used

seeliewood (outside of starting a questline there), the areas in between that you fly past but dont really go out to, lumbertown, the isle of dawn (before they reworked it), heck even the beach there (i think ive only been there once, by time i got back into tera in 2015 it was gone)

[autumnoakes]

i feel so conflicted over how many games get remade or remastered and then sold at full price.

This chapter has smut in it. Although drones don't have junk, they can "make love." In their own special way.

I don't view this as explicit, since how drones make that connection is much different then how people do. That being said, if you aren't into that. Here's the Tl;DR:

N comes home worried, N and Uzi console each other, before N gets the wise idea that perhaps they won't ever have the chance to do this again with everything going on.

Loving, Passionate Robotic Lovemaking Ensues.

Oil is Thicker Then Blood (Part 47)

N was home in record time, and when he opened the door he was immediately pulled down into a tight embrace, Uzi's tail was free, curling around him as if he was the last bastion of safety on the planet, her fingers gripped the back of his coat.

Nothing was said, not yet. He closed the door behind him with his tail and used the door itself as something to lean against as he lifted her up into his arms, burying his face into the crook of her neck.

“I'm so glad you're okay.” N broke the silence first, mumbling the words into her shoulder, he focused on the sound of her core-beat, it fluttered with anxiety but still thrummed like a war-drum, she was safe…

“I was more worried about you… I thought she was right on top of you or something.” She admitted, pulling back to look at him only to press their visors together with a light clink.

“N-no, I'm okay honey.” He purred back, his eyes still closed. The girl in his arms made a squeak and quickly looked away, the sudden term of endearment catching her off guard, especially since he sounded so genuine.

His brain seemed to catch up a moment later, and he went a shade of gold, clearing his throat.

“I-I… sorry, I was just worried… a-and it sounded right.”

“It's… okay.”

There was a pause, a lull of silence between them as N slowly put her down, before he started speaking again.

“Did you warn V?”

“She immediately went hunting through the vents, she wants payback.” Uzi replied, gesturing up to reference the vents above them.

“She find anything?” He asked again, still feeling jittery from his worry.

“She's been sending updates. It's been all clear so far.” She reassured, holding his arm in an attempt to calm him down as they both continued to stand at the doorway.

“Good…”

His gaze flickered to the couch where Tera was laying on her stomach, asleep, peaceful. A small black blanket loosely over her as she had her thumb in her mouth, drooling on it. He smiled, though it was wrought with worry.

Uzi followed his gaze, only to turn his face towards her with her hand, even if she had to balance on the tips of her feet to do it.

“We’re okay.” She said softly, and his core ached to belive her.

“Uzi… Doll’s been here this whole time… she could have had the jump on us at anytime…” He voiced his worries and his stress, both pouring out of his mouth before he thought much about it.

“But she didn’t. I don’t know why she’s still here… she has my bug already, there’s no reason for her to stay here.”

“Maybe she already found whatever she needed?” He suggested, but that begged the question of what exactly she was looking for.

“I don’t know… maybe we should have followed her… V did suggest-“ N interrupted her, not allowing her to blame herself.

“None of us were in the condition to do anything after you hacked into us. You were asleep for two whole days after that, I wasn’t going to leave you without knowing you were awake.”

“And you wouldn’t let V go alone either?”

“No, I wouldn’t.”

Another pause, this one more urgent, building like a bubble about to pop. Although his worry was slowly being ebbed away just by being beside her, a tension still grew between them.

“She really could’ve snuck up on us at anytime… why didn’t she?” Uzi repeated slowly, seemingly to let N's stress be absorbed into her, he didn't want that, so he immediately went to try and comfort her.

“Maybe there’s… something preventing her? Or she changed her mind about killing us?”

“Maybe…” Uzi’s voice trailed off into nothing, clearly troubled by the situation. Though there was very little they could actually do unless the Russian girl decided to suddenly appear before them. N cupped her cheek, before swooping down and placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

She blushed, and it grew when N took her hand into his and led them further into their apartment, and headed towards the bedroom.

N was scared, nervous and worried. His discovery had upset the air of domesticity they were starting to find. And it had made his thoughts drift to the things he really wanted, and the things he never got to experience. How much time did he truly have? Did Uzi really have? With the eldritch monsters, biological instincts, and now the threat of Doll looming over their heads. He didn’t know how much time they had left, but he did know he wanted to make the most of every second.

“N…?” Her voice was soft and curious, more so when N turned to her and placed his hands on her hips. A blush found it’s way to his face and stayed there, he caressed her hip with his thumb and he found himself unable to look at her.

“Uzi… I uh.” His core was suddenly beating out of his chest, was this a good idea? Yeah it had sounded good about a minute ago in his head, but now acting on it was nerve-wracking, would she even want something like this? His timing wasn’t exactly great…

“I want to… try…” His voice and any remaining confidence faded, self doubt creeping up in the gaps between his thoughts. This was a bad idea. No, the worst idea, they’d only been together for six months, he wasn’t sure if she was ready, if he was ready, what if it hurt? What if J had completely ruined him and he hurt her? Hell, he didn’t know what he was doing! Oh no, he messed up!

“Try…?” Uzi leaned up into him, a small smile on her face. Was he suggesting what she thought he was? She always thought that when the time came it would be her initiating, with his past trauma and need to be polite, always. She figured she’d have to slowly work up to it. But maybe this situation had spooked him, freaked him out enough to where he thought he wouldn’t get another chance.

“I-I Nevermind. It was stupid… we should be on high alert not… uh uhm mmm..”

His words trailed off when Uzi’s hand trailed a path up his side, something so featherlight even through his coat that it sent a shiver up his spine and his processors to short circuit. His tail made wide arches behind him, showing his near instant enjoyment.

“It’s not stupid. And V’s already on a warpath… we can. Only if you’re okay with it.” Uzi reassured, honestly, her mind was somewhere similar, if shit was about to hit the fan, she wanted to be sure she’d have no regrets when it did, and nothing should be left unsaid… or undone.

“I…don't really know what I'm doing… sorry I led you in here all confident and now I-I'm caving.”

“If it makes you feel better, I'm actually impressed you managed to ask me at all, thought I'd have to our first time.”

“O-oh… you've done this before?”

Uzi suddenly blushed, taken over by a similar embarrassment as the one currently staining her boyfriends face.

“I didn’t say that…”

The air was thick with tension, neither really sure where to go from here, N was almost too nervous to even breathe, let alone move. And Uzi was trying to decide if N was ever going to make a move.

After another moment, she realized he wasn't.

“You want me to lead?” She asked gently, cocking her head and leaning up into him to try and move closer to his visor, he gulped, more sweat and a far heavier blush displayed on his visor.

“Mmhm.” He nodded, being the only thing he could force his body to do, she laughed lightly, and even though she had a smirk she still looked incredibly embarrassed.

“Lay down then.”

Given a command, he found it easier to make his body move to obey it, he crawled onto the bed nervously hat and all, before laying face up, looking at the ceiling with the world's most nervous smile.

Ohrobogodohrobogodohrobogod

When Uzi climbed on top of him, shed already stripped, and she straddled his waist, he gulped nervously, memories of J looming over him, a taser, or claws, or both swam in the back of his head, though he tried not to let that show.

“Relax, okay?” Her hand came to brush some hair out of his face before removing his hat, placing it on the nightstand, one of her hands came to grip his collar.

“O-okay”

She lent down to kiss him, holding the side of his face as she started chaste, and gently caressed the side of his face until he really began to relax.

His hands found her hips again, pulling her deeper into him, and it was only then that she deepened the kiss, nipping at his lip to ask for access. Which he gave almost immediately, giving her free reign to explore his mouth.

While his hand racked up the smooth silicone of her back, her hand was busy trying to unbutton his coat blind, which seemed to be a little difficult with only one hand, since it was uncharacteristically clumsy, although he figured she was just as nervous.

Still soon enough his coat was completely undone and she was pulling it open, leaving the only thing keeping it on being his arms.

She pulled back, leaving them both panting and breathless, both their visors still stained with blush, Uzi looked him up and down, admiring his figure and causing him to fluster.

“I-I'm not t-that interesting.”

“You're gorgeous, actually.” She replied, sincerity dripping off her lips, he squirmed as those words him, feeling the embarrassment crawl up his spine.

“Shouldn't I be saying that to y-you?” He gave a goofy grin, that made his girlfriend laugh a press another kiss onto his visor screen, a spark of electricity passed between the area of contact.

Then she ducked into the crook of his neck to place more kisses there, and unlike his playful ones that morning, these were playful in a much different way, they were long, trailing kisses that made each contact feel like it burned the metal there, the hand on her her hip gripped a little tighter, making a small, almost inaudible whine escape from the girl on top of him.

That's when his hands started to wander, both running up her back until they began to slip down her front, he still had no idea what he was doing, but instinct seemed to guide his hands to ghost up the rubber residing in her middle, and she shivered in response.

Her kisses turned to nibbles before she was beginning to scrape her fangs lightly across his neck, gasps bubbled out of his throat as the input registered in his systems, he squirmed again, the feeling new to him before he felt one of her hands firmly push him down so that he'd stay still.

“U-uzi…” The word came out in a shudder as her other hand snaked up his front, from his hip all the way up to his chest, right underneath his core, he continued to explore the rest of her body, running over bumps and nicks and committing them to memory until he found himself touching up her back again.

His fingers roamed over the gnarled scars on her back, causing her to suddenly jerk her body forward in surprise as a muffled pleasured groan left her mouth, the reaction seemed to surprise both of them, as she quickly sat up, locking eyes with him with a renewed blush.

“Did- did that hurt?” He asked, even though he knew the answer he wanted to be sure, she shook her head, seemingly rendered speechless by her sudden outburst.

Then he felt his entire chest begin to buzz with energy, he looked down to find Uzi's finger gently rubbing a circle into the glass casing of his core. It was light, almost too light for him to feel anything. But what he did feel was like a low rush of energy, and it was quickly spreading to his head to make it fuzzy too.

“Is this okay?” She asked, her confidence seeming evaporated after having a outburst like that. He nodded, finding it hard to locate a thought that wasn't just praise.

“Y-yeah. It's… Oh-Okay.”

In response, she pressed a little harder, he felt his body seize in response, he bit his lip to stifle the noise that threatened to escape this throat.

Was this… was this what it was supposed to feel like? It wasn't painful, but it was almost overwhelming, he was struggling to breathe correctly and his processors began to misfire.

“Y-you can touch me t-too.” She guided one of his hands, which had fallen off her back to grip the sheets under him, to her chest, right underneath her core, he was trembling at this point, but always eager to please he tentatively pressed a finger into it.

“Ah!~ Aha! Woah- n-ot that hard~” He immediately let up on the pressure, scared he'd hurt her, before looking up at her face and finding she was somewhere between completely blissed out and excited beyond measure.

“S-sorry.” He did his best to rub circles into her core with the same amount of pressure she was doing to him. Until she picked up the pace and caused him to throw his head back into the pillow with a moan.

“Nhg… Uzi…” Electricity felt as if it was sparking around every inch of his body, clogging his mechanics and making him want for more, both his eyes were enlarged golden hearts, his blush encompassing most of his face. Thinking? What was that?

He increased his pressure and pace as well, making the girl above him buckle and bite her lip roughly, only one of her eyes were hearts, but the way she was panting and shuddering left no doubt in his mind that she was feeling much of the same way.

A single long press of her hand on his core, with far more pressure then before made him nearly buck her off, a loud groan being forced out as a small compartment opened up right above his core, spitting out a small cable that Uzi immediately grabbed and pulled on, making him almost choke on how sensitive it was.

“Wh-what?” His voice was glitched from the pleasure, and he didn't even finish his sentence before Uzis mouth crashed upon his, and like a good boy, he shut up and kissed her, adding a second finger to her core as she whimpered and whined into his mouth.

Soon after, Uzi's own compartment opened up, instead of a cable though, it was a simple USB port, N felt her shudder before pulling off his mouth and moaning lightly under her breath, panting as she still had his cord in her hand.

“F-fuck.” She cursed, although it was clearly meant more positively then just cursing at him for doing something wrong, his vents took in as much sir as he could, his temperature being far higher then normal. He'd probably need oil after this…

“Why did-” He was interrupted by a shudder and a pant as some delayed input was processed through. “You s-stop?”

She took a second to respond, still recovering before she looked at him, putting the cord in his hand instead.

“You're…” An aftershock went through her and she closed her eyes, riding it out before she tried speaking again. “You're supposed to plug this into me.”

He looked at the thin cable in his hands, then back up at her, before he immediately started to lean up to insert it into her port, before she hurriedly stopped him.

“We… uh. D-don’t have to go that far. That's how… fuck. Probably how Tera was made.”

He blinked, brain finally catching up to what exactly she was saying. And as much as he consciously knew it was a bad idea, he really didn't want this to end yet.

“My firewalls are up… it's probably safe… but. I don't know how different your code is from mine…” She was slowly winding down, and now she was making shapes on his stomach, nervously.

“Do- Do you want to keep going?” He asked, still feeling fuzzy and jittery, his core felt as if it was throbbing, begging him for this to continue.

She paused, her blush growing quickly.

“K-kinda.”

Well, that sealed the deal for him, he sat up, using the headboard as support as he gingerly plugged himself in.

Instantly he gasped as he felt his very code meld with hers, crashing against each other as both systems had to adjust to an entirely new state of being, he was both looking at her and looking at himself through her, it was both terrifying and exciting in every way possible.

He reached up to touch her face, both the sensation of touching and being touched coursed through their connected systems.

Even their emotions seemed to mix, causing a confusing tornado of fear, excitement, and love to swirl in colors of purple and gold.

Then… with a shift, Uzi began to write in the gaps of his code.

I love you, I love you, I'm yours, you're mine, I love you.

Whatever pleasure he felt before was nothing compared to now, he immediately buckled under their combined weight and collapsed onto the bed, he could barely take in a breath let alone make a sound.

“Breathe baby…” Uzi panted out, making him both smile and blush and try to reach out into her code in return, it was easier then he expected, like swimming through a warm ocean. Though she didn't need to speak, that thought had been shared through their connection already.

He wrote his own sweet nothings into her code. He wasn't as graceful, sometimes he would accidentally overwrite something, which caused Uzi to whimper above him before it quickly fixed itself.

You're perfect, I love you, beautiful, my love, my darling.

Waves of pleasure coursed through them both, resonating with each line of code written, it almost became N's goal to fill up as much of her empty space with his own admiration, he loved her so much, she loved him so much…

Right now, there was very little to differentiate who's thought was who's, they were one being, not two.

At least until Uzi blue screened. A loud, shuddering moan broke through the relative silence and she collapsed on top of him, he was right after, the feeling of her climax having only a fraction of a second delay before it hit his system too.

and it all went black.

Since Nemona reminds me of myself when I was younger, my brain cooked up a Real World au where everyone just plays the pokemon game, so:

Nemona: Still student council president and a dork. She whips out her Nintendo every recess and goes up to everyone she knows and asks if they'll battle her. She's always happy when someone says yes.

Arven: Plays the game because someone told him he could make friends with others who did and fell in love with the picnic mechanics. He's good on those limited time event Tera raids and gladly assists you on gathering Herba Mystica.

Penny: Played the games since she was young, and is content playing through the story herself. She always buys both copies of the games to trade with herself and experiments with rom hacks. She probably made a few mods as well. Still, once she discovered multiplayer, it was hard to go back.

Carmine: Has to share a switch with Kieran, and hogs it for the first few days, with him watching over her shoulder. She got a little bored of the game, though. You can't exactly battle your sibling when you share a console. Got back into it just to check what exactly the heck Kieran got up to with his game. They also share an acnh island

Kieran: Has to share the switch with Carmine, and watched her play the game when she hogged it. When figuring out he couldn't play with his sister, he started playing with the competitive battle team that started up at his school. Then one day he tried playing against a competitive random who wiped the floor with him and then became determined to Get Good for real. He also got stuck taking care of his sister's acnh island

Can we learn a bit more about Alvius and Charles?

Charles and Alvius were my old WF OCs I made at the peak of my Warframe fanboy moment. They were... vastly different characters than who they are now.

Also!! Note that I played Warframe last before Railjack so... idk shit abt new lore.

(Note: more info in alt text)

Charles LeClair

Currently, Charles is mostly-a-spy mercenary who works alone. He is extremely anxious and distrustful of everyone and seemed very feeble and weak-minded. He always acted like he doesn't want to do this whole warframe job (he really doesn't) but he is too broke to actually stop (he is.)

Apparently, some people are hunting him down. An operator and his Warframe... but he has no idea why they are hunting him down.

Charles' true passion lies in mathematics. Numbers and codes calms him down, which is why he would rather go on spy missions and/or hack consoles and steal credits from the enemy side. He is a huge number nerd to a point he is able to calculate in his head freely, enhancing control over his limbo ability (where he shifted between reality and Rift, etc.)

He doesn't tell people much about himself. The best person who knows him for who he is is Alvius, and even then the poor Nidus doesn't know much about him either. (That leads to their breakup.)

Alvius Ilidius

Alvius (he prefers to be called 'Alan' because it's shorter) is a lot of things. He is a CEO, (a nidus pretending to be) an Excalibur, and is the charming leader of the dojo 'Tera Fals.'

Alan himself is very laid back. Unlike Charles, he has a very calm and confident temperament with a sprinkle of humor. Probably passes as a himbo, but has amazing battle instincts. Likes kids! (Most Tenno are '''kids''' after all.) Don't be fooled by his human face. It's a) plastic surgery, he did it to mimic Charles and b) he's actually roughly the same age than as Charles (Like, what, ~300+ years old?) He's an old man. He probably got that face from some old earth playboy magazine, idk.

Despite his positive attitude and virtuous appearance, Alan was an experimental type of Nidus. TL;DR, an experiment where one Tenno can control 10 warframes at the same time. While he is able to walk around freely without an Operator, he was unfortunately plagued with urges of bloodlust and violence. He staves these urges by going out on extreme sports activities, missions, and using suppression medication.

Unfortunately, there are times that fearsome urge wasn't suppressed and well... let's say it caused casualties once.

...

Ok I'll tell you this, they are still in love. But with the massive baggage they're carrying that they haven't solved? That's why they aren't together at the moment.

Anyway that's all about two of my favorite characters and also one of my favorite couples.

[yeehawbvby]

TLC | Arven x GN!Reader

Rating: G | WC: 1,112

Ever since you became a Champion, Geeta has been taking advantage of your work ethic. You’ve been traveling all over Paldea, completing Tera raids with Nemona and whichever other Champions from other regions are summoned with you. This is on top of challenging those who want to complete the gym challenge – as per Geeta’s orders – in order to see if they’re “worthy” of it, and making sure your team stays in top shape. Those are just your “typical” Champion duties, though.

On top of those tasks, Geeta’s been assigning you her own dirty work. At least once a month, you’re now expected to travel to every gym (including Team Star’s new and improved bases), battle the leaders, and then write up a report for each one. You’re in charge of rating their attitudes, their performances, and most stressfully, whether or not you feel they deserve to keep their position as a gym leader. Not only is it hard work, but it’s led to a lot of unwanted tension forming between you and the gym leaders of Paldea.

There’s no way you’ve been sleeping enough, nor have you been eating enough. The eye bags that adorn your face make you look sickly and frail, and your hair and skin are a mess from how often you’ve been neglecting your hygiene in order to get one task or another done.

You’re exhausted, you’re constantly grumpy, and you want a break so, so badly – but you keep telling yourself to suck it up and take one for the team. The harder you work, the closer you’ll be to being done with this work, so there’s nothing wrong with that… right?

This has been going on for months. In the meantime, Arven has been devastated. He misses his little buddy so much. Your beautiful smile, your adorable laugh, your warm hugs and your perfect kisses are all things of the past now. Sure, you two see each other when you’re able to come home to your shared apartment in Mesagoza, but you barely have the time to look at him anymore, let alone share a conversation.

Having had enough of it, Arven decided that the next time he sees you, he won’t give you a choice but to relax. He wants to spend time with you, of course, but he’s concerned about your wellbeing and can’t stand seeing you run so ragged. 

So, the next time you come home, rather than asking about your day and receiving your routine, robotic, “Doin’ good,” Arven wraps you into a bear hug. 

Dazed from the realization of how long you’ve gone without contact with him, you can’t even bring yourself to hug your partner back. As you stand there in his embrace, Arven whispers how much he loves you, and how much he misses you, and how worried he is about you. He pecks soft kisses on top of your head and hugs you tighter as quiet sobs begin escaping you, while you realize how worn out you really are. How much life you’re missing out on. How much love you’re missing out on.

“I’m so sorry,” you whimper, finally wrapping your arms around Arven’s torso.

He shakes his head. “Don’t be,” he murmurs. He continues telling you that it’ll be okay. That all he wants is for you to be okay.

Once your cries dwindle down to occasional tears and soft sniffles, he takes your face in his hands and places a sweet kiss on your forehead. “I’m gonna run you a bath while I finish making dinner, okay?” 

You nod solemnly, slipping off your trainers and letting him take your bag and jacket off your shoulders. When you’re ready, Arven takes your hand and walks you to the bathroom, where he’s already set up some fancy new salts and soaps for you to use. You notice your favorite pajamas neatly folded next to your robe while he turns the water on, as well as the assortment of sheet masks he left near the tub in case you want to use one while you soak.

When the water’s to your liking and you’re all settled in, Arven leaves you to your devices; and feeling more comfortable than you have in ages, you almost instantly fall asleep. When Arven comes back to wake you and retrieve you for dinner, you recognize the scent of your favorite meal wafting in through the door. 

He helps you dry off and get dressed as you slink out of the bath, and rather than eating in the kitchen, the two of you cozy up on the couch with your plates. Now that he has your attention and you’ve done a little bit of unwinding, Arven’s able to ask how you’ve actually been, and you’re able to hold a conversation with him for more than a few short minutes.

If you don’t feel comfortable talking about your work or your wellbeing, he fills you in on how he’s been doing instead. He started a new job recently running a small café down the road, and is getting plenty of experience learning how to cook and bake so many new things. Arven loves it, and based on what he’s described, it sounds perfect for him. Saguaro makes it a point to at the very least stop in for a coffee and a pastry every day, and apparently he asks Arven about you often, which warms your heart. You regret not having come to visit yet, but your partner reassures you that there’s plenty of time for that. 

After a bit of catching up, the two of you decide to call it a day. Arven insists you stay on the couch while he cleans your plates, then scoops you up and carries you to the bed when he’s done. You giggle and protest from his arms, but wrap yours around his neck and snuggle into his chest anyway. You missed being in Arven’s strong arms so much. 

After tucking you into your side of the bed, Arven gets changed and crawls in behind you. Before you can even ask if he wants to cuddle, he’s wrapping you into a spoon, engulfing you in his warmth. While his top arm drapes over you, his opposite hand strokes your hair. As you drift into a peaceful, restful sleep, Arven continues to whisper against your neck how proud of you he is. How much you deserve to rest and rejuvenate after working so hard, and for so long. How much your team, his team, and your friends love you. And most importantly, Arven reminds you as many times as you need how much he loves you.

Tum Se Hi (Its about you, Just about you) J.W.W

୨୧pairing : co-worker!wonwoo × g.n reader

୨୧author's note : how can i not do something for my moon's birthday!!! the title is from one of my favorite songs of our culture. I have tried to include the closest translation at the places the song's verses have been used♡

"What about the flowers tho? I want exactly two thousand and three lilies to adorn the hall by 6p.m sharp!!You remember that right?" a raspy hushed voice whisper talks to Chan, part time pet sitter at the shelter and full time Mr.Wonwoo's baby.

"What are the lovebirds chirping about huh?Lemme in your gossip too nah!" sudden contact of his shoulders with a warm pair of hands, pulls wonwoo out of the conversation and makes him stern his face so that the big secret doesn't spill out to you before hand.

"Nothing dumbo. We were just planning on what to do for cinnabun's birthday." the moment that those words escape his crevices, witnesses a slight drop in your smile and a deep sigh making its way out of your lungs.

*Cinnabun was one of the furrbabies at the cat shelter you three worked for, whose birthday was the next day. But that wasn't the reason for your sigh. I mean why would it be right? She was your favorite babie afterall. It was just cuz you thought that wonwoo even remembered bunbun's birthday, but ironically not yours. Your 20th birthday that was today. Yes today yet you had to act like there was nothing today. Why? Because you knew no one remembered and no one cared! Except....*

It was around 5:30 in the evening when you were finally done with your daily work schedule,be it feeding the babies or cleaning up after the menace pies.

Even if the world forgot to celebrate your presence, doesn't mean you will too, right? That's what you kept on telling yourself while buying that one slice of caramel cheesecake from the bakery next to the shelter, this morning.

Consoling yourself with all the "yes y/n you matter" and "so what no one remembers? it's still your special day", you gingerly make your way to the room where all the cattos were.

"Wait! Why is it all dark? Where are the babies? Did they all fall asleep already?" your heart clenches at the sight. Maybe you truly were just a mistake the universe made and now tried conveying to you at every point that you're nothing but an unimportant living piece of dirt on this planet. Else, why would everything be against you, on your OWN GODDAMN BIRTHDAY!!

"Looks like I'm just not meant to be even the tiniest bit happy on my day" these are the last words that part your lips, as you twirl on your feet to go back home.....just when a tug of guitar strings rings in your ears and....

Baaton mein baatein teri, raatein saugaatein teri ( my talks are full of you, my nights seem to be a gift from you )

Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya,hua kya

( why has everything of mine become yours? what happened? )

Mein kahin bhi jaata hoon ,tum se hi mil jaata hoon ( anywhere i go, seems like i meet you )

Tum se hi, tum se hi ( it's about you, just about you )

Your legs have started feeling numb, you're too scared to even turn back to see the prettiest constellation being presented to you. Just you!

"Happy birthday y/n! I know all these years you've felt like you didn't deserve to celebrate your special day, the day this universe created the most beautiful lily ever. The day the missing puzzle piece of my being was carefully wrapped up in the shiniest of papers and presented to your parents." teardrops following each other down your cheeks like a colony of ants bringing home food, while wonwoo's bulky firm arms pull you into the warmest embrace known to mankind.

"Y-you remembered? B- but how?" trying to speak casually while being a crying mess is definitely not your cup of cocktail for sure. "And what about the cats? Where are they?" a panic instantly shines on your forehead as wonwoo pulls you by the shoulder and turns you towards the masterpiece he has created.

All your babies were lined up like little kids at a birthday party, wearing silly little princess and knight dresses while the room was decked up with white lilies all over. Your work table was now being occupied by a two tier vanilla caramel cake that specifically spelled out "Going Twenty" alongside your favorite brand of soju. But all of these still felt small infront of that satin sash that said " Happy Birthday to the prettiest star this galaxy had to offer".

And that's where you lost it. Dropping to your knees on the floor while shielding your entire face beneath your palms, you started wildly sobbing. No one has ever made you feel this special and what did wonwoo do? He turned the eternally cursed day of your life into the most beautiful one.

"Don't cry dumbo. Today is the day to celebrate with spirits and cakes not with tears and sobs princess" that same pair of arms wrapped around your torso, gently pulling up your body from the ground ; the arms that now felt like home and the embrace that made your heart fill up with nothing but sheer joy and peace.

"How can i ever thank you for this wonu!! All these just f-for me...for a girl who's only your co-worke..." before you could even finish blabbering like an absolute idiot, one of wonwoo's slender fingers lands on your lips forcing that ignorant mouth of yours completely shut.

"Just a girl? Oh how naive you're love. Only if you realized that you're not 'just a girl' for me but my entire sky; the canvas upon which i shine the brightest every night. The lost piece of my painting I've been trying to finish all these years"

'W-wonu y.." idiotic of you to even try speaking midway when the person you've adored all these time is now pouring his heart out to you.

"Y/n, I've loved you three summers....will you let me love you the rest too?" the restricting fingers finally drop down from your lips as wonwoo bends down his head, tears threatening to fall out of the two moon crevices on his forehead.

"Will it be a problem if we walk down this path together, hand in hand?" a soft pair of paws cups wonu's cheeks, gently wiping off the stray drops of tears staining his mochi buns.

"Thank you y/n." that's all that comes out of his mouth as he literally throws his entire body weight onto you while wrapping you into the tightest yet gentlest hug....head resting on your shoulders.

"Thank you more wonwoo" you calmly whisper into his ears while your hands took turns in patting his back and his satin soft perms.

"Uhh hmm looks like someone forgot to thank the one who helped him TO ARRANGE ALL THIS AND IMPRESS HIS LOVE" Chan's sudden intrusion is all it took for you two to come out from being an intertwined vine.

"You sly little boy!!! Did all of these just under my nose while acting all normal huh!!" and that's how a typical chase between the real life Tom & Jerry of your shelter ensued....wonwoo quietly looking over his moon being all giggly and happy, with stars in his eyes and sheer love in his heart.

Predictions on Future Pokemon Titles & Legends Z-A

*Note, these are PREDICTIONS, not leaks & rumors.

Let's get one thing out of the way, there ARE NO UNOVA remakes, The Pokemon Company intentionally sent fake info to insiders in order to sus out leakers.

The Pokemon Company decided to skip Unova & move on straight to Kalos due to the difficulty of making a faithful remake of Black & White while pretending BW2 doesn't exist in addition to the poor reception of BW & BW2 on release. Also, the Pokemon Works Label is essentially a mobile gaming division, they have no involvement in console games.

There will be an XY remake for later this year made by Pokemon Works that is an Apple Arcade exclusive, another game they are working on is a Clash Royale knockoff involving the TCG & Pokemon Figures.

Now, Onto Legends ZA

It's chock full of stuff from Scarlet & Violet that got scrapped, either cuz of time or cuz it didn't fit into SV's playstyle. Among those are the unused held items for Koraidon & Miraidon, The Tera Exclusive forms (which were converted into mega evolutions for Legends ZA), & the PKHex feature.

This also includes a new Pokemon named Amalgaton (A Stellar type mythical that combines visual traits of numerous legendaries, namely Rayquaza, Kyurem, Ho-Oh, Miraidon, & Necrozma), which was originally going to be a part of a 2nd mythical event in Scarlet & Violet, but instead became the 2nd focus mon behind Zygarde.

The story takes place right after Scarlet & Violet, however, there is some time travel to the past involved. This is the reason why the game only takes place in Lumiose city.

Amarys plays a major role in Legends ZA, along with other past characters like Faba, Raifort, Xerosic, Bonnie, & Emmet, the former 3 becoming the primary antagonists for this game after being wronged by their initial organizations.

Volo also returns.

This game also has butt ugly photorealistic graphics akin to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the "Next Gen" look.

The devs are targeting a March 2025 release date to coincide with the release of the next gen console.

What do y'all think? could any of this stuff actually happen in the future?

The Chain end up at Oni!Reader's home with the next portal. Every Link couldn't help the confusion as they're standing on a path lined by tall bamboo stalks, pink foliage trees and strange dog statues. Only a certain Oni has the answer.

Reader: This is my world, specifically the path to my home. Great-grandfather Shukaku planted all these cherry blossom trees and bamboo as he carved the road.

Sky: Really? He did a fantastic job as these look beautiful.

Reader: Beautiful and functional. There are protection charms inside the Komainu statues too ward away malevolent Yokai and low level demons. Follow me.

Sēji's den, an old Japanese temple or tera, had two kinds of protection. The Chain were about to see the second as Oni!Reader held them back before they could cross the Tori Gate to their home.

Reader: Hold on for a moment. MIKI! SHINJI! Come here!

Legend: What are you... BY THE THREE!!! *Sees two huge lion like dogs as big as OoT King Dodongo leapt from the brush. One has white fur and a black mane while the other red fur with a blue mane*

Reader: These are my family's Komainu, Miki (white komainu) and Shinji (red komainu). They protect the home while I'm gone. It's important they know you're with me or they would've chased all of you away. Ain't I right? *pets the two large beasts who are happily wagging their tails*

Warriors: Good to know.

Reader accidentally forgot to mention that Miki had pups so Twilight, Wind, Sky, Time and Wild got tackled by five little komainu during the house tour. Legend and Hyrule holed themselves in the temple's library as they gotten a written guide to decipher the language.

Warriors end up finding the armory while Sky learns about zen gardens from Oni!Reader. The kitchen might've got taken by Wild as the kitchen utilities are simple brick ovens, cooking pots and stoves.

Only modern stuff are lighting, heating, air conditioning, tv, a few game consoles, bathroom utilities and cameras. Overall not that overwhelming for the group. Although the Chain definitely made a blanket fort in the living room as Reader played a few movies.

Oh Twilight is going to have a field day playing with the pups. Sky might join him afterwards. Wind would be a bit more hesitant but they can't be all that bad. Legend would take a little bit longer to come around and play with them.

Let's be real though. Sky would want to learn how to carve bamboo. It can't be that different from carving wood but he's not entirely sure what would be the best way to go about it.

Happy because I find Tera can be played in consoles.

Yes I didn't know Im stupid

[peachyyjellie]

So I made this AU where the top three of blueberry academy are not human through very wack methods basically the timeline: -le bike lizards (koraidon) are brought from past

-one bike lizard is smarter than the other by a LOT, so Sada tried experimenting on it with Tera energy, to the point where it was sapient and could shapeshift into a little girl

-girl bike lizard sees other bike lizard murk Sada and flies away, somehow gets adopted by family and named Juliana

-plot of SV continues on as normal (mostly), but Juliana reveals herself to her friends just before they fly down to Area Zero

-overcomes trauma and stuff and finally wins

-Juliana does all the Teal Mask stuff and almost accidentally reveals herself to Kieran once

-Juliana had issues with Indigo Disk stuff (cough, polar biome and she’s a reptile, cough) but manages to go down again to area Zero with Kieran after some consoling

-When Terapagos fires the blast STRAIGHT AT KIERAN, she reveals her Koraidon form and blocks the beam but half of it still spills offer and hits Kieran directly in the arm

-Kieran musters up enough strength to help defeat Terapagos but then kinda goes unconscious, starts crystalising

-rushed to Paldean hospital where he finally stops crystalising through bringing out Terapagos again to stop the crystalisation

-boy is now half turtle boy (he can Terastalise, cannot shapeshift)

-Briar pressures Juliana to use Terapagos in a battle again so she can observe, Drayton offers to be the battle partner

-toothpaste boy accidentally walks too close to the battle arena and gets hit by a 120 bp stellar Tera Starstorm right in the chest

-Kieran (now with Terapagos powers) attempts to heal him with defensive energy, but causes the energy to go even more wonk, so he asks Terapagos and comes up with a medicine made of Tera shards and everstones

-onion boy forgot to put normal Tera shards and ghost Tera shards in the medicine :(

-normal and ghost defensive energy (like you know Terapagos’ terastal form shell, that kind of energy) was NOT expelled

-toothpaste boy gets minor injury and painfully (tm) turns into h-zorua

-he has VERY NEGATIVE feelings about that, he communicates with Kieran and attacks turtle boy, Juliana had to intervene

-the three are fine now but all traumatised

Yay

to clarify: The three keep their predicament a secret from most, Drayton can use illusions, Juliana can physically shapeshift, Kieran cannot shapeshift but can terastalise

And yes all three of them can battle

HAI ANON I MEANT TO RESPOND TO THIS EARLIER BUT I GOT DISTRACTED I’M SORRY!! /gen

but HELLO?????? this is such a cool idea???!?!?!? drayton being a habitual liar (idk abt yours but my version is LMAO) + having the ability to create illusions would be such a fun combo. if not for y’know. the trauma. ☹️

For Nintendo purposes I'm now a resident of portland, oregon.

When I got my switch (last year, as a gift) and I tried to open the eshop, I found out just to open the fucking shop you need to be from a handful of select, privileged countries. So I went into my Nintendo account and changed my location to the US.

Recently I got myself a dollar card. In my country, it's almost (practically) impossible to send any amount of money outside the country. So no online international purchases at all. Unless you go through a third party to buy gift cards. But some time ago, the government + nepal rastra bank started issuing prepaid dollar cards, with a limit of $500.

I'd been thinking of getting one since the cards became available but hadn't because a. having to go the bank, and b. I'd, for some reason, with no proof, thought one needed to load all five hundred dollars at once, and that's a lot of money. And then I saw a post on r/nepal that said patreon doesn't take prepaid cards. And that made me even more hesitant about getting a dollar card.

But now that I have some money, I said fuck it and went to the bank. Didn't take more than 20 minutes and turns out you can load a little at a time ($10 one-time activation charge, $2 charge per load) upto 500 a year. But I was still apprehensive about using it.

Last night I plucked up the courage and got the 7 day free trial for the Nintendo switch online membership (can't believe you need payment details to get a FREE trial). (But more importantly, WHY THE FUCKING FUCK DO WE HAVE TO PAY TO GO ONLINE WHEN WE COULD DO THAT FOR FREE ON THE 3DS AND THE CONSOLES THAT CAME BEFORE.)

It asked for my location, and again I set it to USA. It asked me for my zipcode, which will be needed to calculate sales tax. So I look up the states with the lowest sales tax and it turns out Alaska and oregon don't have that. At first I thought of going with anchorage bc I'm cool like that but then I stopped and thought wouldn't a bigger city like portland get more offers? As if I was going to go to a physical store there myself? What? So anyway i entered the first zipcode I saw of portland and everything went well and now I have a free trial that expires in 6 days and apparently auto renews to the monthly subscription.

The first thing I did after being able to go online was connect to pokemon go (that was a whole ordeal and half). The second thing I did was do a surprise trade (got a gible for a meditite). And then I joined a tera raid, for a hoothoot. And idk what the shiny chances are for these tera raids but

I got a shiny rock tera hoothoot woooo

The Story

The story is about three personified game consoles trying to graduate from highschool.

On paper, a comedy of the SEGA consoles and games is actually a really good idea, since many people on YouTube have successful series based on classic game tropes.

But does this anime do it well? Eh... Kind of...

Some of the jokes are funny, especially the ones about retro games. But the problem is that the classic anime jokes fall flat and some of them come out as too mean spirited, especially with the treatment SEGA Saturn gets! This isn't as bad as the Squidward torture porns, but it still on those lines.

And the Sega Saturn torture just gets really predictable. They do it to DreamCast in one episode, but it ruins another joke that came before it and it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

The Characters

The characters of the consoles are unfortunately just moe trash! Mega Drive is the smart one, DreamCast is the cute and bubbly one and SEGA Saturn is post-movie Squidward. They should have had the consoles personalities reflect the age that they came from. Such as Mega Drive being the cool gal, Saturn being the jealous one who is often forgotten and DreamCast feel like a failure to reflect on the failure the DreamCast was to the point SEGA stopped making consoles! Does that sound like a more interesting cast than moe garbage?

None of them grow as characters and other than them being SEGA consoles, they are REALLY forgettable!

The 8-bit rabbit is a really unlikeable character, which is a shame because he is voiced by Yuji Naka!

On many Websites, other consoles are mentioned and even have voice actors listed. Not only don't they EVER speak once during the anime, nearly half of the ones listed aren't even in the anime! Sorry Tera-Drive fans! (What the hell is a Tera-drive fan?)

The Animation/Special Effects

You think at first the cheap looking models are a stylistic choice, you soon realise that the animation is actually lazy. They frequently recycle footage and in one episode during the contest, the other consoles are just cheap 2D sprites that look like they have been cut out from a pop-up book! So SEGA Master System and Game Gear fans, be ready to be pissed off!

The animation doesn't even try to make the characters fit in with the games they're in! They stand out like sore thumbs and it just takes you out of the emersion.

Final Thought

As both an anime and retro-game fan, I should have loved this anime. But it feels like the creators in this didn't even try to make it good and decided to do something decent for the ending! Which isn't even worth getting to.

It's no wonder nobody remembers this anime, heck, I didn't know about its existence till today, and I watched it all on one day because the episodes are so short!

Even if you do love the moe genre, there are so many better ones out there that have more care and time put into them. And for retro-gaming fans, the game show Go 8-bit is far more entertaining and Dorkly's animation skits are more funnier than this anime.

Just skip this anime. It's not worth sitting through, even when the episodes are only around 10 minutes long!

Overall 1/5

[CREATOR CLASH] High Power

"SISTERRRRRRR!"

Lauren reached out to the screen, tears strolling down her face. It took the force of Rayquaza AND Zinnia to hold her back.

"HEIDI! NOOOOOOO! YOU CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS! PLEASEEEE! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Lauren broke her disguise and started crying. Zinnia and Rayquaza started consoling her.

---

"This... this isn't the end... right...?"

Even Hilda was starting to quake in her shoes.

"We--we're... we're not doomed, right? She's... she's fine, right? Please tell me that she's fine!"

Lillie was ready to break down crying already.

---

Others weren't as credulous at the results.

"Do you sense it, Melmel? Something isn't quite adding up."

"I agree." Melony shook her head. "There is still but one thing that she is leaving behind."

"Do you think that she is able to use it?"

"She is... After all, I still sense her life force. There is still time."

---

Hel looked at the Arceus in the room. "...Shouldn't you be requesting for her soul right about now, Lacey?"

"Oh, who said that she's dead?" The Arceus giggled.

"...That blade says so."

The Arceus shook her head. "Oh, you'll see. She's not down just yet."

"Hm. She is best not to be." Hel turned back to the screen.

---

....

....

Friede looked down at the figure. The greatsword was still directly in the middle of the creature. While there was no blood, it should have been enough to drive right into her and kill her.

...but if that was enough to end her, why has she not lost her disguise?

...

... unless--

....

Hehe.

hehehe

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Heidi slowly started to change, with her power skyrocketing as well. The dragon grabbed onto the greatsword and slowly began rise, driving the sword deeper and deeper through her sternum.

Once she was close enough to meet her attacker face-to-face, she had nothing but a snarky grin.

"You've lost, Friede."

Friede yanked herself away and brought the greatsword with her. The hole in Heidi's chest suddenly disappeared, as if it never happened to begin with.

"...So this is how you interpret yourself as an Arceus, Heidi."

"Arceus? Us? HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Heidi used Neutralizing Tera Blast!

The attack caused a large explosion on Friede, causing her, even at her immense strength, to flinch for a moment.

"We are not Arceus. We may have the abilities to defeat your kind... we may be able to perform your duties better than you.... We may work to protect this world from vermin such as yourself... but we are not like you. No matter what happens to us, we are, and will always be, Latias."

"....Then, if that is the case, I will ensure that you perish with that thought."

Friede used Judgment! Heidi used Neutralizing Light that Burns the Sky!

[honnojis]

i beat violet and reached the credits! i'll talk without spoilers about how i felt about the maingame (yet to do postgame), but i'll put it under the cut nonetheless.

i mentioned it on twitter too, but despite the game being extremely riddled with bugs and broken lighting (gamefreak please fix your fucking game so it plays normally without me having to restart it to fix the memory leak issue temporarily im begging), the actual contents of the game are REALLY fun and the writing in the game is the best it's been since gen 5.

Narratively it surpasses the previous couple of games in many ways (and swsh in EVERY possible way and more lmao) and honestly? that redeemed the game for me. no you can't change my mind. The whole endgame sequence had me actually wanting to stay up to play more but unfortunately my switch ran out of battery and i forcibly got stopped so i had to go sleep LOL

The tera mechanic is fun and adds a nice layer of depth to gameplay without making it obnoxious like GMAX was, game felt pretty balanced and I even had a couple of moments where I struggled to get by, which was great! I love that. Thank you for not making the game too easy at some points. It also definitely did not help that half my team was weak to either ground or fighting LOL but that's aside the point

Speaking of teams, the mons in this gen have been a bit hit or miss. Some of them really feel like they could've used more depth to their designs, look better in 2D than in 3D or are just... really not my thing, but the ones they do hit the mark with, they hit it GOOD and they introduced some of my favourite designs across the whole franchise with it. It's probably still the least solid gen in a while though, which is a bit of a shame as I was hoping for better.

The technical issues with this game REALLY are holding this game back though. I'm even mad this shit even got through QA at all and released in this state, how the fuck did they overlook such a huge performance issue? What's done is done though and the game's out there, so instead let's hope for a solution; if they release a patch with some fixes for lighting issues and the memory leak that keeps tanking the game's frame rate and performance, then this game will feel much better to play, even with the switch being an underpowered console. Restarting the game from time to time has shown that it can run relatively smoothly as it fixes the memory leak problem temporarily. Sure, there's definitely some stutters still, but the average frame rate is definitely higher and it would do the game well to see that fixed sooner than later.

If the game had like... six more months or even a whole year extra in the oven, I really do think that it would've been better for this game, but unfortunately TPC likes money too much to not have GF run on fumes all the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's not the games that rake in the big cash after all, it's the merch made based on the new mons.

tl;dr, game fun, story was good and actually had me super invested near the end, gameplay was fun but could've been better in the mons' overall design department, please fix your fucking game GF and release a patch to fix the biggest issues, thanks. but also TPC stop stretching this game company thin you freaks
