Best Implants Service In Pimple Saudagar | Dr. Shirish Yadav
Dental implants are a modern, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. If you’re in Pimple Saudagar and seeking the best implant services, Dr. Shirish Yadav’s clinic stands out for its expert care, advanced technology, and patient-centered approach.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium or zirconia, surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable teeth and are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental Implants have proven to be the answer to many patients’ dental problems both functional and aesthetic. By replacing just one tooth to a full arch reconstruction, they enable the restoration of a natural smile, improving patient comfort and confidence.
The Dental Implants have a clear advantage over conventional Crown and Bridges, in the sense that they do not rely on the neighbouring tooth for support and hence the healthy neighbouring teeth are not prepared by dental drill. Thus the integrity of existing natural teeth is maintained as before.
The most common indications for implant dentistry are:
Replacement of one or more missing teeth.
Support of a non-removable “Bridge” to replace multiple teeth.
Support of a removable full or partial denture.
Patients who successfully pass a screening and evaluation can be considered as candidates for receiving dental implants.
Placing of the implants involves a surgical procedure under a normal local anaesthetic. The after-effects are similar to having a tooth extracted i.e. you may feel mild discomfort due to the normal healing processes.
The implant must be allowed to bond (integrate) with the bone. This can take from 3 to 6 months depending on the individual case. During this time it is possible to make a temporary replacement for your missing teeth. Once healing and integration have occurred the permanent replacement is made and fitted.

Missing a Tooth? Discover the Latest Advances in Tooth Replacement Options
Losing a tooth can be more than just a cosmetic concern; it can impact your overall oral health, self-esteem, and even your ability to speak and chew properly. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a range of advanced tooth replacement options that not only restore functionality but also enhance the natural appearance of your smile. If you're missing a tooth and wondering about the best way to address it, you're in the right place. In this blog, we’ll explore the latest advances in tooth replacement and highlight why Dean Dental Clinic in Kolkata is a top choice for missing tooth treatment.
Why You Should Replace a Missing Tooth
Before diving into the replacement options, it's important to understand why replacing a missing tooth is crucial. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can shift, leading to misalignment and bite issues. Additionally, the bone beneath the missing tooth can begin to deteriorate over time, which may further complicate the replacement process. Therefore, timely and effective treatment is essential to maintain your oral health and overall well-being.
Raed, How to Choose the Right Missing Tooth Treatment
The Latest Advances in Tooth Replacement Options
Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered one of the most innovative and effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. An implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it acts as a replacement root for a crown or bridge. Recent advances in implant technology have made the procedure more efficient and comfortable than ever before. Digital imaging and 3D modeling allow for precise placement of implants, ensuring optimal alignment and a natural look. Additionally, the development of mini implants offers a less invasive option for those who may have limited jawbone density.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implants
For individuals missing multiple teeth, the All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant techniques provide a comprehensive solution. These methods involve placing four or six implants in the jaw to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This technique not only improves the stability and comfort of the prosthetic teeth but also reduces the need for bone grafting procedures. The result is a more streamlined treatment process and a fully functional smile.
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia crowns have gained popularity due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Made from a high-strength ceramic material, zirconia crowns are highly resistant to wear and can closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Advances in manufacturing technology have made it possible to create crowns with exceptional precision, ensuring a perfect fit and a seamless blend with your existing teeth.
Removable Partial Dentures
While traditional dentures have been around for a long time, recent innovations have made removable partial dentures more comfortable and functional. Modern materials and design techniques have improved the fit and appearance of these dentures, making them a viable option for individuals who prefer a non-surgical solution. Advances in precision attachment systems also enhance stability, reducing the risk of slippage.
Implant-Supported Bridges
An implant-supported bridge is a great solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. This option involves anchoring a bridge to dental implants, which provides greater stability compared to traditional bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support. The result is a more durable and long-lasting restoration that can withstand everyday use.

My hyper fixation of biology and Halovians combined and this came out of it. Enjoy??? I might add to this???
GENDER DIFFERENCES -Men have bigger halos and smaller wings then women -Women have three pairs of wings(behind their ears, another on their shoulders, and the final at their waist) -Men have just two pairs(behind ears, waist) -Can fly, but women can fly farther and for longer due to having bigger and/or more wings compared to men
BIRD NOISES(???) -Can make a variety of bird-like chirps, whistles, and birdsong, but mostly grow out of it. -If around family or really stressed they'll make them anyways but it's mainly kids who chirp/warble in public -In families, each Halovian has a string of notes that are a sort of callsign. No two are the same. -Is a bit like another language but it's more rudimentary then other languages, which is why most adult halovians tend to speak instead of using bird calls. -Some halovians can mimic other people's voices, kinda like parrots do -Voices(both bird-like and not) can be super loud. Like, way too loud. A group of fifteen Halovians could probably out-screech a concert.
HALO/GENERAL BIOLOGY STUFF -Have migraines if halo is detached from their head for top long(Robin gets them often) -Halos are just straight up metal so there isn't sensation in them, like bones. However, if a halo gets snapped/broken however it causes extreme pain. -Have hollow bones that are reinforced with cartilage -Have broader shoulders and stronger upper bodies and cores compared to other human-like species     -More pronounced canines that hook in a bit more compared to regular humans, however not as much as Foxian/Vidyadhara. Have a tooth that replaces the molar behind the canine, that is drastically hook-like and points inwards towards the throat. -Like shiny and bright objects, and their homes will practically be covered in little trinkets and cool rocks. -Omnivores, tend to lean more towards fish and other aquatic animals. -Stupidly good swimmers, despite having four-six wings. -They're technically(???)mammals but like platypus they lay eggs(I'm not weird this is legit just the most logical solution to the God damn halos existing) -Females have flatter chests than other human-like species -Tend to be taller than other human-like species       -Head wing bones are cartilage, like ears
FEATHERS/WING STUFF -Look super gross as children. Look up baby birds. They looked like that but more human-like. No feathers until 3-4 years of age. -Children have more feathers, and look less scraggly, but they are still developing for the first 10-12 years of their life and cannot fly. -Teenagers start growing adult feathers, and can begin practicing to fly. They won't be able to until they reach 17-18 years of age. -Adults have fully feathered wings, and have yearly molts where their feathers shed and they grow new ones over a month period. Children have molts every five years, and teenagers every two years. -Preening sessions are needed to be able to fly, and are typically done in groups with family or people halovians hold close. A bit like braiding hair but more emotionally intimate -Feathers and wing shape vary between different species of Halovian, however they all tend to be on the longer side, with longer wings to help glide and catch air currents on the ocean. -Head-wings are typically the same colour as hair before fading into the colour of the back wings. Head wings and back wings are usually different colours. -Hair has a soft, feather-like texture to it, and there is a layer of down and small feathers on the scalp under the hair, especially near the ears. -Feathers are soft and waterproof for diving.
MISC: -Originated from a planet that has very high cliffs and a lot of ocean, thus Halovians evolved to water hunting and flying.                                 -Use their halos like fishing lures: tossing them into the water, gliding above waiting for fish to be like 'Oh hey shiny' and then diving into the water head-first to grab fish.                                  -Back in the 'ye olden days' of Halovian society men used to use the size and shine of their halos to impress people they wanted to court.  -When scared/embarrassed halovians use their wings to hide their faces and neck from view. Wings flare when stressed, frustrated or angry.                        -Giving somebody a back wing feather is saying 'I want to court you'  -Giving somebody a head wing feather is saying 'I see you as family'    -Halo jewelry is a thing. Depending on the halo it’s either dangling little charms or something winding around it. If there's any others you thought of let me know :D I'll either be doing foxians or vidyas next :)
Edit: fixed the formatting because it got weird for some reason????
Edit 2: still weird wtf, idk what's going on with it

Baby, I need to know, mmm (Yea, need to know)
Tumblr media
Character: Satoru Gojo
Warnings: boobjob, blowjob, gojo cries and whimpers, reader and gojo are dating.
☆Your boyfriend has been eating a lot of sweets lately. He's so addicted to them that you're concerned about his health. You have an easy solution for his addiction: simply give him a new kind of sweetness—yourself instead.
(This is my first time writing smut so please go easy on me guys)
You've been dating Gojo for a few years, and the relationship is great. He buys you a lot of things you've always wanted; he loves to spoil you with love and desserts—oh, especially desserts. Given his sweet tooth, it's no surprise that he buys an extremely large amount, to the point where the pantry in the penthouse is filled with sweets: macarons, cookies, chocolate, and enough more to stock a bakery. It's concerning how quickly he can consume such large quantities.
"Satoru Gojo," you sigh, looking at your boyfriend with a frown. "This is the fourth time this week I've caught you eating cheesecake."
Your boyfriend with a spoonful of cheesecake, looks at you innocently as if he hasn't done anything wrong. "Mmmm, you mad that you didn't get a taste? Sorry, this one is mine."
A playful smirk appears on his handsome face as if he's challenging you to make him change his mind. He's so cocky and confident of himself that you swear you will wipe that shit off.
"Do you not care about cavities? No more sweets this week.”
Does he think that just because he's the strongest, you have to put up with his teasing and he can easily get away with this? Perhaps it's time to put him in his place.
"Nah, I'll simply replace all of my teeth, baby." He doesn't seem to be scared of your warning, rather amused by it.
“You’ll be fine.”
"What? No, I won't be fine—”
Before Gojo can finish his dramatic whining, you quickly press your lips against his in an aggressive way. Gojo's eyes widen at your sudden move. A soft pink hue paints his cheeks as you lick his bottom lip, tasting the remnants of the cheesecake. In that moment, Gojo melts into you, his body craving more of you immediately. His hand wraps around your waist while his other hand finds its way to your back, gently pulling you closer to him as he returns the kiss with more passion.
You take the chance while his guard is down, taking the plate of cheesecake from his hands and placing it on the bedside table. Your hand cups his cheek, caressing his silky smooth skin, making you want to kiss him every day until he's covered with nothing but your kisses. Your free hand travels down to his white t-shirt, roaming over his muscular chest, abs, hips, and stops when it reaches his crotch. You break the kiss, leaving him breathless and whining about how much he wants you through a disappointed look.
You can feel the growing bulge in his tight black pants in the palm of your hand as you slowly rub it. “Aww, look at you. We just got started.”
Gojo can’t even think straight anymore; his bulge against the fabric has started to get really uncomfortable for him, and the addition of your hand around it doesn’t even help at all. “[Reader]...please.”
“Please what, Satoru? Use your words. Baby, I need to know.”
The words seem to be stuck in his throat as his eyes flutter closed, trying to finish his sentence. “Please..mph…touch me.”
You hum, leaning down to unbuckle his belt and pull his pants down to his thighs, followed by the boxers. His free thick cock is right in front of your face, making you drool over it. You swallow your saliva, trying not to rush this moment. Your hands are back to yourself to assist you lifting your shirt over your shoulders, letting him see a nice view of your boobs.
“Fuck…[Reader]...No bra, huh?”
Gojo swears that his breath is being taken away by the sight of you. How can you look so beautiful and perfect like this? That alone turns him on even more.
When you drop kisses on the tip, Gojo loses it completely. He whines, practically begging you for more. “[Reader], please…ngh…need you so bad.”
You parted your lips, taking his entire cock inside your mouth. Your tongue slowly swirls around his thick cock in circular movements as you caress his balls. Gojo’s head slams back against the bed headboard, and his gaze never leaves yours. His hand settles on your head, gripping a handful of your hair in a gentle way to keep his balance before he falls apart even more. Your hands leave his balls, using them to rub your breasts against his cock. The way your soft and squishy breasts sandwich his cock makes him choke on his own saliva.
“Fuck…You’re doing so good, [Reader]...mph…ah..”He whimpers loudly; his grip tightens your hair, but not enough to hurt you. His back arches as he cries out your name in pleasure, feeling even more weak and vulnerable as time passes by. You continue to suck his cock rapidly, and it builds the pleasure up to his brain. His pre-cum is leaking out on your tongue, coming down to your throat.
The looks you give him as you suck him off make his body tremble, and his breath sticks in his throat. His eyes are getting blurry, tears rolling down out of the corner of his eyes as he cums inside your mouth. Your cheeks are filled with his hot cum, causing you to moan his name with your eyes rolling back to your head. Once your lips leave his cock, you stick your tongue out to show Gojo his cum on you, and the strand of your saliva that connects to his cock is enough to make him cum again, but on your pretty face this time. Some of his cum falls down on your boobs.
“Fuck…” Gojo curses under his breath as he lets go of your hair. “[Reader]...ah…You’re too good at this. Good girl.”
You swallow his cum down your throat. The simple words “good girl” that escape your boyfriend’s lips turn you on more than you’ve expected. Gojo’s hand caresses your face, wiping away his mess. Then, unexpectedly, he gently flips you over and pushes you against the bed, your stomach playing flat on the bed sheet while your face is stuffed against the pillow. He leans down, his hot breath against your ear as his hands travel down on your back. “Now let me take care of you, sweetheart.”
Yeah, Gojo doesn't eat any sweets that week. Not when he can eat you out instead.

Why does the saratoan magic focus on teeth? What do they do with shed teeth do they have a tooth fairy idea or more like frame them and look back on their sub adult teeth as a 100yr old and go ah yes back when I was foolish
Being an herbivore is extremely hard on teeth, every animal that chews plants and lives any significant amount of time has to come up with a solution for how much some plants damage enamel over time.
The Saratoan solution to the problem of teeth wearing out vs living 200 years has been to shed and replace teeth at regular intervals. It was an accidental mutation, it just happened to be an easier accident to have with the magic in their bodies than with natural genetics. Their magic is in charge of other things too but that trait tends to be more attention grabbing when it misbehaves than some of the other traits their magic supports.
A lot of them find their own shed teeth kinda gross or creepy and so there's a tendency to simply throw them away. Friends and family will sometimes want to hold onto shed canines as a keepsake to memorialize that now past era of their lives, but sometimes wanting to do that involves fighting that person to retrieve the tooth from the trash.
Displays of complete collections of canines are popular, especially older adults appreciate the way they inspire one to take a moment and think about a single person's whole lifetime, and see the person's life laid out in patterns of wear - this inspires others to try and save their teeth too but a lot of them realize it would have been a cool idea after they'd already thrown away their old teeth as a kid because when they were a kid they were like "ew why would I save these" haha

Capitalism won’t deliver the energy transition fast enough . . .  There’s too much to do, and given the urgency and the need to get the solution right, this isn’t a task for your favourite ESG-focused portfolio manager or the tech bros. The sheer scale of the physical infrastructure that must be revamped, demolished or replaced is almost beyond comprehension. Governments, not BlackRock, will have to lead this new Marshall Plan. And keep doing it. The western nations that did so much of the damage will have to finance the transition in the developing world — it is astonishing that this idea is still debated. Massive deficit spending will be necessary, not a new ETF. For all the cleantech advances and renewable deployment in recent decades, fossil fuels’ share of total global energy use was 86 per cent in 2000 and 82 per cent last year.
[...]
Either we ignore the consensus of the world’s best scientists and accept an ever-deteriorating climate, or we upend a multitrillion-dollar fossil fuel-based energy system created over decades. For obvious reasons it would be better to decarbonise and clean the energy system, avoiding the trauma of a ever-heating world, while trying to manage the political fallout. But powerful petrostates such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE — in charge of this year’s COP climate conference — won’t go quietly. The transition could put weak petrostates like Iraq in peril. Big Oil lobbyists will fight tooth and nail to stop change and influence elections. Saying the geopolitics of the energy transition will be volatile seems like an understatement.

Quietly, he slides his hand out from Sonic’s. Pulling away from the blue menace’s forehead, he takes off one glove, then two, dumping them both on Sonic's face. He huffs and throws them to the bedside table, ears fluttering up and face burning as Shadow replaces the hand on his cheek. He slides one ungloved paw behind Sonic's ears, using his claws to delicately scratch.

|| you're a godsend || l.mk
pairing: idol!mark lee x foreigner!reader
genre: mild angst, fluff, sweet mark, a bit of flirting if you squint
warning(s): mention of anxiety, reader experiences discrimination
a/n: I'm heavy in my Mark feels (what's new), so here's a lil smth short and sweet :))
"안돼요, 현금 없음. No cash." The sales lady's adamant tone only fuels your bubbling anxiety. You signal her to give you a minute as you rummage through your purse. God why did this have to happen right now? And to you of all people. "I'm sorry, can you-" She immediately cuts you off with a sigh and grumbles to herself as she begins closing the transaction. "Wait, no-" "죄송합니다 , you can add her items to my tab."
Your head snaps to your savior, tears welling in your eyes. From embarrassment or relief, you aren't sure. "You're so kind, thank you." Sniffles now uncontrollable as you dab your tears away. "I'd appreciate it if you didn't treat your customers in such a way," He hasn't yet acknowledged your words of gratitude, but you aren't offended- though it seems he is.
The frown on his youthful face looking out of place. At least from what you can see. To be fair, his features are covered by a black mask. "Enjoy the rest of your day." Yet he still gave her a smile, and left a tip. In cash. You're not sure how much you meant it, but you bow and thank the lady as well on your way out of the door.
The sun is beaming as you walk side by side in a comfortable silence. Truthfully, you don't even mind the quiet. For some reason you feel a strong sense of safety when near him. "I apologize, ya know, on behalf of the owner," he looks over at you through a squinted eye, "I understand how it is being a foreigner."
When you smile his eyes immediately flicker to your mouth, then back up to meet your own. "Thank you, for stepping in. I don't think you understand how much I appreciate it. I was nervous so I wanted to stop for a little comfort snack before going to my first meeting at my new job and-" you stop yourself short, "sorry. I'm rambling."
He shakes his head letting out friendly chuckle, "No worries, it's cute." There's no added statement as he leaves you flustered and passes your snack. As your walk continues, you pull your phone out to check the navigation, am I even walking in the right direction?
Once it's confirmed that you actually are, you pocket your phone and begin excitedly eating the bulgogi kimbap you'd fought tooth and nail for. Okay maybe not tooth and nail, but surely sweat and tears were spilled. "Want some?" He cutely nods and shocks you by pulling his mask down and biting off the top piece from out of your hand. "Oh.."
So handsome. He replaces his mask and faces forward as he finishes chewing. That is, until you reach a traffic light and he abruptly turns to you with a determined look in his eyes. "You're very pretty." It's said with such certainty and confidence that you can't help the feeling of immense attraction flowing through you.
"Not gonna lie I.. find you quite handsome, myself." The two of you smile at one another and share a laugh as the light changes for you to walk. "Still nervous for your first day?" You ponder the question before shaking your head, "I'm not actually, and it's really thanks to you." You come to a stop and face him, "You're truly a godsend, how can I show my gratitude?"
"You can go easy on me for being late to our first practice." Immediately you check your phone and gasp realizing you're late for your introductory meeting. "Oh my God! Wait- how did you-" He solutes you and backs away holding his arms out with an eye smile, "Welcome to SM Entertainment, Y/N."

We all know how you feel about chapter 2, so how would you "fix" the issues with the chapter?
This is the kind of ask that would've made me go apeshit in excitement a few years ago. TL;DR, I made an AU specifically addressing all my issues with Chapter 2 (and the future of deltarune as a whole), it's called Kingdomrune and you can find it here.
If you want the in-depth explanation, continue under the cut.
First and foremost, visual overhaul of cyber city. It kills me because the concept art for the city that was released recently looks gorgeous but something is just lost in translation when trying to make the concept art a playable area rather than just a purely visual piece of art that you can take in at your own pace. Limiting the palette and making it a bit more muted is the option I pivoted to for Kingdomrune, but I'm admittedly not very good with colours, so make of the result what you will

(Added bonus - there's a parallax effect in the windows of the buildings that reflect the rest of the city, what would usually be street lights is replaced with wi-fi antennae that visually call back to the cliffs, a lot of the floating ads are, instead, replaced with "bug checkers" and loading icons which are animated but not so fidgety to be distracting, and a lot of the "blocky" looking items (trash cans and balloons) are more just stylized in-universe rather than actually clashing with the rest of the environment.) (Also, I hate "WELCOME TO THE CITY" so just imagine "a cyber's world" being the theme of the city instead)
Additionally, the city shouldn't be 90% of the chapter, it just gets boring after a while. My solution to this is splitting the City into two parts, the iconic Cyber City as the second of the two, with the lead-up to it being a place called Hardware Outskirts. I don't have spritework for it, nor presentable concept art sadly, so just imagine a cross between old soviet brutalist buildings and old yellowed computer hardware, and you've pretty much got the mental visual for it. The music I associate with it is anything by Molchat Doma, but more specifically This Song, which adds a necessary tonal contrast to the City's vibrant feel.
Second of all, SOME KIND of conflict in the wider world outside just the kids' adventure. There's hints scattered throughout the game that Queen is planning something big in the city and that nothing's running on time because of it, but we don't get explicit payoff for that. My way of resolving this, and tying it back to the light world, is that Cyber City is essentially at war with the rest of the library.
The new tech is trying to conquer and replace the books and stories that have been there much longer, and the Bookbound Kingdom (in my version of events, at it's head are the card queens that are missing in chapter 1) is fighting tooth and nail to keep the "Evil" Queen at bay. The Bookbound Kingdom is themed after fairytales and textbooks and stuff, the kinds of things kids would most often check out at the library, and it would provide a very necessary tonal and visual contrast to the Cyber City that actually makes it's GOOD aesthetic and thematic choices pop. Where the Bookbound kingdom is wild and whimsical and outdated, Queen's kingdom is rigid and complex and new.
It also gives Queen a reason to ransack the first area like we (implicitly) see her doing in the game. She's actually, violently trying to take over Bookbound and that's when she found Noelle, and decided to kidnap her. Sweet Cap'n Cakes get a bit of a rewrite as well, originally Queen's scouts and allies until the protagonists befriend them through dancing during their battle, which causes them to turn on Queen because their new friends treat them better than she's treating them at the moment (giving us in-universe characters reacting to Queen's change in character caused by the fountain that, in-game, is just told to us rather than shown).
Thirdly, write out Berdly. Entirely. This is probably a controversial take, but I genuinely think Berdly's arc would benefit from having his OWN chapter dedicated to HIM specifically (one I dubbed chapter 2.5 in my AU), instead of him being at odds with Noelle for screen time. Setting up a context where Berdly's the character very clearly out of his own depth and not thriving with people claiming to be helping him, is a much more compelling way to get (me specifically) invested. Put emphasis on Berdly and Noelle being friends and him overcoming his comphet crush on her, no more weird love triangle shit with him inserting himself into Susie and Noelle's business, and most of all, Ralsei and Kris bonding with him in their own ways. Give Kris a REASON to forgive Berdly for the way he treated them, give the two common ground and let Berdly GROW into someone who WANTS to be nice to Kris, rather than whatever the hell happened at the end of Deltarune's chapter 2.
And lastly, I need to talk about Noelle. Like, a lot.
While she was (and still is) my favourite part of Chapter 2, there's still improvements to be made. For one, going from "freezing up completely at conflict" to "ACTing with kris to spare enemies" after just ONE conversation with Virovirokun that completely breaks the flow of battle is... kind of odd to me. In my rewrite, Noelle's first escape from Queen is with SCC involved, they target Noelle as a lightner they can beat (because they can't beat the heroes) and in doing so essentially open her cage. Queen is furious with them and while Susie tells Noelle to get the hell out of there, Queen is trying to coerce her to stay, and Noelle is frozen in place. She doesn't WANT to stay with Queen, but she's rooted in one spot and can't move. When something loud/startling happens, it FINALLY makes her budge and she's able to run away.
Freeze -> Flight
When Noelle first joins Kris' party in Hardware Outskirts, it's not because Susie and Ralsei ditched Kris out of nowhere with weird traffic cones to block them (??? im still salty about that), rather it's because there's a two-way puzzle (kind of like the December puzzle) that makes Kris' team split up in two, and Susie chooses to go with Ralsei because she trusts Kris'll be fine on their own. For context, in my AU there's also chapter 1.5 where the team more firmly learns how to work together, specifically through Kris learning how to bond with them one at a time, so Kris trying to cling to Ralsei and Susie in chapter 2 is weird from those two's perspective because Kris should know by now that a team of two will be fine, the three of them don't need to stick together like glue all the time. Susie and Ralsei aren't completely out of the picture, for the record, they're still checking in on Kris and Noelle and making sure they're okay, even distracting Queen to give them opportunities to get out of dodge. (again, instead of the weird love triangle stuff, I still don't know why that's there in-game.)
Noelle at first runs from every battle that happens. Kris has to fight every darkner on their own, leaving them at a huge disadvantage, because Noelle is too scared to fight them. As you may have guessed, this makes the snowgrave route not possible the moment Noelle enters your party (I'll get to that). Noelle eventually gets forced into battles with Kris during a car chase minigame, where they compete with Ralsei and Susie to see who can take out more enemies in a semi-enemy rush. The problem is, Noelle still doesn't contribute, and when the teams get separated, Kris ends up encountering WareWarewire, who they can't hope to defeat on their own, and at THIS point Noelle runs away again, which opens up the option for KRIS to flee as well (essentially unlocking a new mechanic). Once they're both safe and enter Cyber City, Noelle starts to feel bad for constantly leaving Kris on their own, and asks them to tell her what to do next battle, because she wants to be stronger.
Freeze -> Flight -> Fight
THIS is where the snowgrave offshoot can happen. Once Noelle is with you during battle willingly, she listens to your every command and that can include freezing/killing enemies if you so choose. You can completely erode the positive aspects of her development and ingrain "fight" as the only valid response to stress to her, which undermines the journey she went on for the sake of making battles more convenient for the player. This entire portion of the game after Noelle joins your party would be specifically curated to not make it feel bloated when seeking out enemies and doing puzzles no matter which route you take.
On a normal route, Noelle's character continues to progress steadily, but the one thing she still refuses to do are spelling puzzles, with a bit of emphasis put on it. Her and Kris bond for the first time in a long time without being interrupted by Berdly or Queen, and in the end, she's able to help you do the December puzzle. Together, Noelle and Kris are able to move past their trauma, at least partly, and become closer friends than they were before.
Before the December puzzle, though, there's a miniboss, and instead of a Berdly, this section would actually feature Rouxls as a miniboss. In my mind, he's using the boat as a way to traverse a minesweeper puzzle and tries to stop Kris and Noelle in order to give them over to Queen. On a normal route beating him always leaves him somewhat injured and fleeing, with Noelle worried about his safety. In a snowgrave route, Rouxls is painfully outmatched and while Noelle isn't particularly invested in his safety as an individual, after being forced to do Snowgrave she's in shock, both because of what she did, but also because Lancer leaves your inventory to check on Rouxls.
Oh yeah Lancer, remember Lancer? He was here the whole time!!! Your actions have consequences.
He's very clearly distraught and doesn't fully understand what happened to Rouxls, and his distress at his "lesser dad" being unwell and dying without him being able to do anything rings a little too close to home for Noelle, who's losing her own dad to illness that she can't really stop. She leaves the scene, feeling responsible and out of place, while Lancer stays by Rouxls and refuses to go back to Kris' pocket. Kris enters the mansion without Queen trapping them and encounters Susie and Ralsei inside, grateful Kris caught up to them but confused at Lancer's absence. The rest of the snowgrave route would play out as expected, Spamton taking over the mansion and Susie trying to help Noelle even if she doesn't really know what's going on. Same with the light world, except Noelle doesn't have an "oh Berdly, you overwork yourself too much" moment, rather she has an imposter syndrome moment with Kris and Susie coming to the library together and, apparently, being there long enough that its late in the day and neither of them bothered to wake her up to hang out with her. She's glad the dream is over, but the waking world isn't much better.
On a normal route, though, Lancer helps get you out of the cages and rooms Queen put everyone in. In my AU, he doesn't turn to stone (lore bending go brrr) and instead lets the team do their own thing and find Noelle and the fountain while he goes and looks for his lesser dad. And then there's the mansion. God the mansion. This is such a nitpick but I hate that in-game it geometry makes no sense, so I literally devised a map in which the progression essentially stays the same but the building kind of actually makes sense.
Tumblr media
(Bonus - specifically mapping out how her giant robot body upholds the mansion/where each body part is referenced and is most visible)
Once Noelle is rescued, she briefly joins the rest of the team before deciding to help them in her own way, disabling security that Queen has around the fountain in order to grant them access from the inside (because she's still scared of confronting Queen). There's only one fight against Queen, also, none of the giant mecha stuff. She has her speech about the Knight as the protagonists approach and Noelle is already caught on her hand. Noelle is essentially stuck and forced to watch the whole fight as the gang try and fail to set her free, or beat the shit out of Queen. Either way, when they seem to have the upper hand, Queen pulls out a second giant hand and knocks them all down. Tired and almost defeated, Queen turns to Noelle and releases her from the hand, telling her to make another fountain, just like in the base game, threatening Susie if Noelle doesn't comply. Noelle turns around and stands up to Queen, just like in the base game, and in response Queen rethinks what she did. She tells Noelle to choose the world that makes her happy, and uses the giant hands that kept the kids trapped as a makeshift throne that she sits down on and gets carried out of the scene with.
On their own, the kids slowly recover while Susie and Noelle still muse about how much better the dark world is compared to the light world. When Susie offers they open a fountain on their own terms, Ralsei stops her and explains the roaring. Essentially the same as the base game from here on out, except Noelle comes with Kris and Susie once the fountain is closed, filling in the gap on Kris' right when closing the fountain that Ralsei will (hopefully) one day fill.
The rest of what I'm about to lay out is pure wish fulfillment and is less "fixing" chapter 2 and more just adding things I want to see:
Susie tells Noelle the dark worlds are real after she wakes up on a normal route, and offers to take her to Castletown since that's basically a permanent dark world without any of the immediate danger. Noelle promises to keep it a secret, visits her dad at the hospital, then visits Ralsei with Kris and Susie. While those two eventually leave to explore Hometown, Noelle decides to stay in Castletown with Ralsei for the rest of the day. She has a lot to learn from him when it comes to magic and the dark world, and I just want them to be besties.
There's explicit references to Berdly in Cyber City mostly as an homage to the fact that he was once part of the story line of it. They reinforce that Susie and Kris don't like Berdly (kind of like how some of the Hometown kids talk about not liking Susie, it's framed as kind of childish and closed off), while Noelle kind of defends his intentions as positive at their core. It's entirely setup for ch2.5 where Berdly is slowly redeemed not because Noelle holds his hand through his character development, but rather because Kris and Susie are antagonists that want better for him than his so-called allies of the chapter do.
Ralsei and Noelle also have a brief bonding moment in Cyber City, mostly revolving around Noelle being curious as to who Ralsei even is, and him genuinely not having an answer to that question. It reinforces Ralsei's identity crisis during the chapter as well as shows why Noelle is so well liked by other kids in class (she's perceptive and tries to get everyone involved even if she doesn't know them that well).
All in all I think most of the things that would "fix" the chapter for me could genuinely take a lot of the whimsy out of it for other people. I prefer more sombre and subtle emotional beats, but the original chapter 2 was very clearly not aiming for that, and people enjoy it for its peppiness and hype in a way that I just can't. To me it feels forced and unearned, to other people it feels entirely natural and warranted. There's no one way to appeal to everyone and, outside of the structural problems of the chapter (not idiot-proofing the maps so I got lost and frustrated for a while, no save in front of Berdly's fight for snowgrave reasons and not taking into account that the battle is difficult on a normal playthrough and quick resets would be necessary for people not that great at the game, the general unnecessary fluff around that weird teacup puzzle where Noelle is there in the party as well and it's just a very confusing portion of the chapter that doesn't even lead into anything later on that unironically made me scrap the idea of the teacups for Kingdomrune altogether, etc) that could be fixed with trimming fat or just quality of life small tweaks. There's nothing Fundamentally wrong with chapter 2, it's just not what I wanted out of the game, personally. So, if you don't like my rewrite, more power to you. It's literally meant to appeal to just me and no-one else lmao
