I'm throwing out some teaser concepts

Who wants to see my Ace Attorney AU: Eclipse (my original story-world) that's been festering inside my brain?

v Notes on Eclipse and the AU v

Eclipse World in short:

Mages (born with "imprint" depending on coven/god) despite being numerous are illegal across ~75% of their globe. Some covens are viewed as more dangerous than others (propaganda)

There is a popular resistance group (that Phoenix would be in) that's putting efforts towards dismantling anti-mage propaganda & the empire that enacted the ban.

AU Notes:

Wrightworth storyline goes about the same (to my limited canon knowledge) just with some flavor from Eclipse (Miles being threatened into repressing magic by M. von Karma and never evolving his magic then becoming an empire-loyalist up until aa1.4; Phoenix learning complex control of his magic including hiding it; Phoenix disbarment happening near his joining of resistance group (non-correlated))

Whats your ace attorney fic recommendations? ^_^

HMMMMMMMM well i am a klaviergirl so this is mostly klapollo/aa4 but here are my recs :3

turnabout toast is a lovely post-aa4 nrmt fic with background klapollo. great "people trying to fix their lives" stuff and WAHHHH edgeworth... also a lot of lovely socal setting stuff (<- socal native, weak for it). phoenix being kind of a bastard but not a bad guy, which i think is fun, because it's interesting.

dirty sympathy, also by the above author. CW for abuse: the premise of the fic is that it's a retelling of aa4 where klavier and apollo are behind the scenes of all the cases collaborating to get rid of each other's abusers (daryan and kristoph, respectively), and trying to keep everything secret. it's a suspenseful read and it's like. crazy. auuughhh. makes me crazy. it's prob my fave aa fic but it takes so much out of me to reread

about him - last rec from this author. the only piece of clay terran fic i have any time for. post-aa5 klapollo sweetness with the outsider pov. so cutes

jamais vu - post-aa6 klapollo get-back-together fic where they hook up at nrmt's wedding

turnabout toilet brush - SO FUN. office farce where WAA argue over who broke the toilet brush. good phoenix pov with fun athena & apollo banter. nrmt and background klapollo

in better light - pacific rim au! trucy & apollo siblingisms, with angsty not-married nrmt, a bit of klapollo, and swag k-scientist ema skye

say it to the crowd - various minor character outsider povs on pre-relationship klapollo. i looooooove outsider pov

notes from the underworld - canon-divergent epistolary bad end aa4 au where MVK kills phoenix and maya with his taser in aa1. only reccing the first in the series since the others weren't to my tastes but the first one. wagh

turnabout from within - an aa5 prequel case! really fun. tries to be a bridge between aa4 and aa5 and is a very fun written version of an AA case. aura is there!! minor klapollo! fun aa pun names!

the thing about forgiveness - trucy and klavier talk post-aa4... wah... performers...

youngblood - daryan pov about his and klavier's relationship. very good... sad bc it's from the pov of a guy who sucks and how the love of his life deserves better than him. good stuff. klapollo endgame bc klavier deserves a decent guy as a bf

turnabout runaway - WAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it's about post-OT pearl dealing with like. the trauma of all that shit with her family as best an 8yo can - by trying to run away to protect mystic maya :( babby... (this one is written by a good friend of mine :3)

there's some more in my bookmarks but it's been a few years since i read them (my aa hyperfixation was spring/summer 2020) so while they're probably decent reads i can't write blurbs

HAVE FUN HOPE YOU LIKE THEM

(anti-recs under the cut. can't resist some complaining)

(also i genuinely have so much hatred in my heart for the fic with the most kudos in the klapollo ao3 tag, it's tagged for them but they don't actually happen in it, it's a nrmt fic that wildly mischaracterizes klavier and makes him into like. an asshole sexual harasser, and the fic barely even takes the sexual harassment seriously? don't read that one. <- DONT LEAVE MEAN COMMENTS ON IT EITHER, the fic's like 10 years old or smth, don't bug the author)

(also i don't like the 100k word fic "custody" bc iirc 1. i didnt like how they characterized thalassa? 2. white ginger klavier??????????? girl)

WIP Folder

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

Thank you @parallelunivrses for tagging me :)

I have... so many wips in a folder. Some of them are proper wips that I do have stuff written and want/intend to go back to and some are things I know I will never actually touch again (some of which are actually 10+ years, if that says anything). I've decided to just include wips here where there's a possibility I'll do something with them because otherwise this list would be too long I think lol

Being Emo About Mia Fey - Ace Attorney; what it says on the tin. I thought about Mia Fey too hard and had to get my feelings out about her dying young

BP Pt 4 - Batman; 6 years ago now (geez) I wrote a series of "Tim joins the Batfam early" fics. I believe my plan was for there to be 6-7 fics in the series, and the fics would alternate between Tim's and Jason's perspectives. This is the next part

Brad Projection Time - Mythic Quest; barely anything is written here, but the episode "Breaking Brad" made me just want to write contemplative angst about Brad

Bruce Isn't Batman (Or Is He?) - Batman; I also call this one "Bruce Wayne is Schrodinger's Batman." Basically, a fic where when Tim tries to confront Bruce and Alfred about how "Batman needs a Robin," everyone continues to deny that Bruce is Batman

Tim Thing with Not Much Plot - Batman; basically like it says, a short thing about Tim considering how his initial outsider perceptions of Bruce/Batman compare now that he's Robin

Ella Enchanted BNHA Thing - BNHA; Izuku gets put under a quirk that basically gives him the curse from Ella Enchanted for a period of time

Iida Angst Man - BNHA; I decided Iida needed more character-centered angst and decided to write a couple scenes. Mostly centered on control issues, hoarding, and compulsive tendencies

Jigsaw Sequel Outline - Saw; I've posted about this a bit here, but basically my ideas for what a sequel to the movie Jigsaw could look like if they ever wanted to continue on with the ideas set up in that film

Monoma Thing - BNHA; exploring Monoma's inferiority issues through the context of Izuku befriending him and getting to know him better

Nobody Wins - Hetalia/Hunger Games crossover; this is something I just want to finish for my younger self... it was a four part/chapter thing and I never wrote the fourth part

Silver Platters - Hunger Games; AU where Sejanus was never sent to become a Peace Keeper with Coriolanus and is set to focus on how the character could have developed up through the events of the original trilogy. Currently I'm working on chapter 3

Slight Sci-Fi Thing - Original; a short story that follows a woman ~5 years after being cloned as she considers what he life was and what it has become. I do not have much written and do not know if this will ever see the actual light of day, but I do enjoy thinking about it

Stufffff - Batman; Dick finds Tim's fanfiction he wrote about Batman and Robin when he was nine, back before he knew anyone's identities. Mostly just a fun little fic atm

Tim Drake Anti-Hero/Fake Villain - Batman, outline of an AU where, due to some different life circumstances, Tim comes to the conclusion "Batman needs a sidekick" rather than "Batman needs a Robin." However, due to some misunderstandings, his attempts at becoming his sidekick go a bit sideways and he decides to work with the cards he's been dealt. Currently just an outline rn

Tim ED Thing - Batman; I wrote a non-graphic fic about Tim being in recovery from an eating disorder many years ago. In that fic, there's a mention of the first time Tim told Dick about it, and sometimes I come back and try to write that scene

Zirk Angst Thing - Naddpod: Eldermourne; post-canon one shot that dives into some of my ideas about the mysterious winter fairy Zirk made a deal with in the finale and also Zirk telling his friends about what exactly happened in those moments. Actively working on this one and really hoping to get it out at some point here soon!

Since this is literally 16 things, I don't even know if I have 16 people to tag... so instead I'm gonna cop out and just say if anybody wants an excuse to share about their wips please go ahead and I'm being 100% serious. I love hearing about what people are working on!

[bjdavis5]

I saw this by @riddleech

And now I'm thinking about peri and irep in a

👑 Fairly Odd-Attorney au

Instead of becoming a god parent, peri takes a page out of irep book and becomes a lawyer (I imagine cases where we follow peri and irep in others)

Thinking of their logos

For peri being a defense attorney

👑Peri fairywinkle-cosma Ace attorney ⭐️

🦇Irep anti cosma-fairlywinkle Ace attorney 👑(black crown)

Irep is a prosecutor

I imagine

For regular cases

I regular courtroom for normal cases

The fairy council for really big cases

Considering irep was able to get into fairy world for the case of timmy, I would imagine the same in reverse seeing peri have to take a case in front of the anti fairy council would be something.

I imagine his first case would be cosmo and wanda asking him to help with the case for Hazel being the cookie court episode.

I don't see how I can work dev into this au.

Against All Obstacles

A JSE Fanfic

SepticHeroes AU: Part 28

First Part | Previous Part | Read on AO3 at CrystalNinjaPhoenix

Hey, a fic on the shorter side for this story, that hasn't happened in a while XD Shorter for me, I mean, it's still 5600 words. Jackie turns in the video tape copy to the police, hoping it will help get Jameson out of prison. But this move causes Anti-Virus to retaliate, and Jackie has to get advice from the others. Meanwhile, JJ is still in prison, unfortunately fdhsjakh Anyway, enjoy reading! :D

===============

“So... you’re saying that this video tape has this special evidence on it?”

“Yes.” Jackie nodded. He looked back and forth between the two detectives. He was familiar with Ace and his usual gruff demeanor, but this other one—Michaelson, apparently—was new to him. He was younger than Ace, with slicked-back blonde hair and sharp facial features. “Don’t tell me the police station doesn’t have a VHS player.”

“No, I’m sure we can find one,” Detective Michaelson said. “But you’re sure this will change the Puppeteer case that much?”

Jackie nodded again. “As I just told you,”—He tried not to sound too annoyed—“I believe that the Puppeteer was being blackmailed into committing his crimes.”

“And you believe that because of this?” Michaelson asked.

“Yes.”

“Where’d you find this, kid?” Ace asked, turning the tape over in his hands.

“In the Puppeteer’s apartment,” Jackie said. “I asked to be able to search it. I’m sure that the League let you all know I was doing that. It was hidden in a locked room. And I found a way to copy the original video tape to a second one. This is that copy.”

“Hmm.” Michaelson hummed. “Alright. Thank you, Windstorm. If this evidence is really case-breaking like you say, we’ll get right on that.”

“What? Why not look at it now?” Jackie pushed. “You are the two detectives in charge of the case, right?”

“Well, we need to examine it, to be sure that it’s not somehow trapped,” Michaelson explained.

Jackie folded his arms. “I’ve had this in my possession since I copied it. How could it possibly be trapped? What, are you afraid that a girl’s gonna crawl out of the screen?”

“Calm down, Windstorm.” Ace raised a hand placatingly. “It’s not that we don’t trust you. This tape would be examined no matter how we found it. We can’t skip due process because you’re a Hero.”

Michaelson tilted his head. “Well... if you want, you can put in special override orders through the League.”

Jackie blinked. He remembered learning that Heroes could do something like that. It was part of the test on the Super Laws he had to take to get into the League in the first place. But he’d never used it. He’d never had an opportunity to until now. “Um...” And yet... did he even want to use those ‘special override orders’? Something about that... It felt wrong. The same way that villains not getting trials felt wrong. But he didn’t want JJ to be stuck in prison for too long! And who knew how much time the regular process would take?

He stood there for probably too long, staring at the two detectives. Then he slowly shook his head. “That’s... alright,” he said slowly. “I’d... rather... everything happen as it usually does.” And yet, saying that left a sinking feeling in his stomach. “How long will it take?”

“We can look at this today or tomorrow,” Ace said. “If this evidence is all you’re saying it is, we’ll be able to get started on the trial right away.” Michaelson looked a bit more doubtful, but Jackie appreciated Ace’s direct assertion. “We’ll have to find a public defender for the Puppeteer—I’m sure there are some villain specialty attorneys who can help. Then of course we’ll have to find a prosecutor willing to take on so much work—after all, it’s a lot of crimes. You’ll probably be called to testify. Are you okay with that?”

Jackie nodded. “Of course. I-I’ll get to the bottom of all this.” He pauses. “And... if the court rules that the Puppeteer was indeed being blackmailed, what will happen from there? We’ll have to find the mastermind, won’t we?”

“If that’s what the court rules, then yes,” Michaelson said slowly.

“And the Puppeteer will probably be transferred from Byrthon Vault to somewhere with less security,” Ace added.

“Still high security, mind you,” Michaelson quickly said. “A super with a power that dangerous will probably have a hard time getting free.”

Jackie was glad that his mask partially hid his face. Because otherwise his worry would show in his eyes. “Of course,” he said calmly. “Can I stick around to see you play the tape?”

Ace chuckled a little. “I just said we might get to it tomorrow. Are you sure you want to stick around for a full day?”

“Ah... no, you’re right. I have work to do.” Still, Jackie was reluctant to leave. He had to be sure that this would work. That the police would see Jameson’s message and start the process of finally having a trial. But... there wasn’t much he could do while just waiting around, was there? “I’ll be back tomorrow. At this same time.”

“We’ll look forward to it, kid.” Ace smiled. “Don’t worry.”

And though Jackie smiled back as he turned to leave, he couldn’t help the pit of anxiety that opened up in his stomach.

===============

Chase could tell that something was off when Jackie came home. So he immediately started bugging him. “Hey bro, you wanna try out a Smash round? I bet I could win with no items!” Jackie gratefully took the offer. The rest of the day, evening, and night passed with the two of them playing all sorts of video games. But then as night drew close and Chase moved to his room in preparation of eventually going to bed, Jackie was left on his own. And that anxiety wormed back in, chewing away at his insides. He watched YouTube videos until four in the morning, at which point his exhaustion finally caught up and he passed out.

Bring bring! Bring bring! Bring bring!

And then he woke up to the sound of the Red Line ringing. Jackie raised his head, momentarily confused. He reached out and fumbled for the Red Line, grabbing it and checking the screen. Lorelai’s ID number was on the screen. He took the call. “H’llo?”

“Jackie!” Lorelai shouted. “Are you okay?!”

“Huh? Y-yeah, I’m fine.” Jackie sat up, confused. “I just woke up. Why wouldn’t I be okay?”

“You just woke up? It’s noon!”

“I went to sleep late last night!” Jackie said defensively. “Now, why wouldn’t I be okay? What happened?!”

“It should be on the news if you want to check,” Lorelai said, “but—th-there was a massive data leak in the League.”

Jackie took a moment to process that. “...huh? A... data leak?”

“Yes! No Heroes, I think—but a lot of League workers had their identities leaked onto multiple websites.”

Jackie was immediately awake again. “What the fuck?!”

“Yeah! What the fuck?!” Lorelai shouted.

Jackie immediately rushed over to his laptop, booting it up. “What are the websites you’re talking about?!” Lorelai listed them out, and Jackie plugged each url into his browser as she said them. He also opened up a couple of his bookmarked local news sites. He scrolled wildly, reading headlines and snippets of articles. ‘Massive Leak Reveals Secret Identities’—‘Unprecedented League Hack’—“League representatives are already reassuring the public”—“affected employees are being pulled into protection”—“What the fuck?”

This had never happened before.

Never happened before.

Sure, villains had uncovered and revealed Hero’s identities before, even whole groups of Heroes. And all League employees had to hide their employment, because villains have, in the past, tried to get into the organization through all sorts of workers. But the sheer size of this leak—hundreds of people had been revealed as League employees. It wasn’t just their names that were revealed, but photos—the sort used for company IDs—and even addresses. Jackie’s only consolation was that the leak had concentrated on different counties, so the people he worked with wouldn’t be directly affected. Even so, just seeing this...

“This is a disaster,” he whispered.

And then his phone started to ring.

Not the Red Line—which he was still talking to Lorelai on. His phone.

Jackie slowly turned his swivel chair around and stared at where it was sitting on his dresser. He stood up, each step feeling heavy, and walked over. There was an Unknown number calling. He could guess who it was. “Uh... hey, this is all a lot for me,” he said to Lorelai. “I’m gonna... go. Do you mind?”

“Oh. No, of course not,” Lorelai said. “Call me later if you need to talk, okay?”

“I will. Goodbye.” And Jackie hung up. He picked up his phone instead. There was still a sticky note over its camera. He hesitated, half-wondering if he could just ignore the call. But he knew better. He picked it up and pressed the phone to his ear.

“Hello, Windstorm,” said a robotic voice.

“You.” Jackie knew it would be him. Anti-Virus. “What did you do?”

Anti-Virus laughed in that menacing way. “I told you, didn’t I? I said ‘I will show you what I’m capable of.’ And I just have.”

“So you did do this,” Jackie muttered. He knew it, but it was another thing entirely to have it confirmed. “How the fuck did you get into the League databases?! Those are the most well-protected servers in the world!”

“I am very good at what I do, Jackie.” The voice sounded smug despite its electronic tones.

“But—how?!” Jackie insisted. “You—your powers are based on spying!”

“I never said that,” Anti-Virus said calmly. “It is you who assumed that. I am perfectly capable of controlling technology in all sorts of ways. Including, as they say, hacking.”

“Even the League?” Jackie said quietly.

“Even the League. Which is why I must warn you, Windstorm. If you continue looking into me, if you continue trying to get Jameson Jackson out of prison, I will be forced to do something much worse. It would be easy enough to tell the world who you are. Or perhaps I could tell every single villain out there the identity of every single Hero.”

“Why the fuck are you doing this?!” Jackie suddenly shouted.

Anti-Virus laughed. “I don’t need to tell you anything, Jackie. But if I were to sum it up in a single word?” He paused. “Control, perhaps.” And then the line dropped.

Jackie stared at the phone. Chills passed down his spine. For a moment, he just stood there, eyes blankly looking at the screen.

Then— “Um... Jackie?” Chase’s voice came from across the hallway. The doorknob to Jackie’s door turned, and Frosty poked his nose inside, opening it up so that Chase could look at him from his room across the hall. “Everything okay?” Chase asked, looking worried.

Jackie looked over at Chase and shook his head. “No, I-I don’t think it is. We—we have to get everyone together. And I mean everyone. Fuck! How the hell are we gonna contact Marvin?! I have to go to his fucking work—” He groaned. “Okay, that’s fine, I can do that. I’ll go do that now. Can you contact Schneep?”

“Huh? Oh, uh, yeah, sure.” Chase nodded. “Now?”

“Now! No, wait. We need to figure out a spot to meet first, and Marvin’s gonna be hardest for that.” Jackie paused, biting his lip. “I’ll go see Marvin first, then call you about where we’re meeting up so you can call Schneep and get down there.”

“Why don’t I just come with you to meet Marvin and we can both call Schneep from there?” Chase asked.

“Whatever! We gotta go fast!”

“I can go fast!” Chase said, pushing his chair back. “Frosty!” He whistled, and Frosty walked over, helping him stand up. “Where’s Marvin’s work? Did you tell me?”

“No, I haven’t told you. Come on, I can explain on the way.”

===============

“You don’t look too good today.”

JJ sighed, looking up at the sky through the mesh net blocking in the courtyard. He shook his head slowly. He didn’t have a headache when he woke up. But he still felt weak, his thoughts cloudy. Like the start of a cold. Thanks for letting me know, he signed slowly. I had no idea.

Soren chuckled a little. “Sorry. It’s just... sad. It’s always sad to see.” His faint smile faded and he turned to look out at the rest of the courtyard.”

Dread pooled in JJ’s stomach. You always seem fine, he said.

“Trust me, I used to be much more handsome.” Soren tried for another smile.

JJ rolled his eyes. You know what I mean. I haven’t seen you be much affected by the neutrinalin. You seem alright.

“Well... it comes in waves for people.” Soren shrugged. “And you get used to it.”

Jameson looked down at his lap. I don’t... WANT to get used to it...

Soren looked at him sadly. “No one does,” he said quietly. “I’m... sorry.”

It’s not your fault.

“I don’t mean sorry in the way of an apology. I mean sorry in the way of sympathy. Or, empathy in this case. After all, I know what you’re going through.” Soren nodded vaguely at the courtyard. “We all do.”

Jameson stared out at the courtyard silently for a moment. Some people were going through motions on the exercise equipment. Most were sitting on the benches like he and Soren were. He saw a couple lying on the concrete ground. He pointed those out in particular. Do you think they’re okay?

“Probably having a bad day,” Soren muttered. “Hm. Morgan Jansen, Jayce Waverly, Jason Storm, and Athena Raine. Otherwise known as Calamity Blade, DragonWing, Soundwave, and the Blight. They tend to hang out together, so it’s probably no mistake that they’re all lying down. Maybe they were exercising and are now exhausted. Have you heard of any of them?”

No, Jameson said. Do you know everyone stuck in here?

“A lot of them. There’s not much to do in here besides get to know each other.” Soren shrugged. “If you ever want me to introduce you to someone, I can do that.”

That might be a good idea. He couldn’t just cling to Soren the whole time. But... not yet. Not today. He shook his head.

Soren looked at him thoughtfully. “Alright. Some other time, then. Personally, I think you’d get along with Morgan.”

I’d get along with someone called Calamity Blade? JJ asked, raising an eyebrow.

“The name is the most intimidating part of him right now, I assure you.” Soren laughed a bit. “Besides... I’d think some people would react the same to ‘the Puppeteer.’”

I didn’t choose the name, JJ said, sulking a bit. 

“If you did choose your name, what would it have been?” Soren asked.

Oh. He didn’t think of that. JJ blinked, but his slow mind was coming up blank. He just shook his head. Something with more thought to it, at least. The puppet themes are obvious. But there could be something better than just ‘the Puppeteer.’ I’m sure there are at least five other villains in the world who call themselves something like that.

Soren laughed. “That’s probably true. Honestly, part of the reason I went with something like Pathos is because it’s very unlikely anyone else would choose that.”

It’s very fitting for you, JJ says.

“Thank you.”

A few moments passed in silence.

“You should probably try to do some exercise,” Soren suggested. “It’s good to stay in shape. You won’t always have the energy for it.”

JJ frowned. I don’t know if I feel well enough for that. He paused. But I suppose I could try. He knew his energy would just drain over time the longer he spent in here, the longer he was under the effects of neutrinalin. I’m not experienced with... gym... sort of... things.

Soren laughed. “Not familiar with exercise equipment?”

Not at all. Dahlia worked out a little, but she didn’t go to the gym. She mostly did it in her room or out in the park. JJ sighed, pushing that memory back for now. Do you want to try as well?

Soren blinked, suddenly looking uncomfortable. “Um... well...”

JJ sighed. You don’t have to, of course.

“No, if it will help you, I will,” Soren said.

Are you sure? JJ asked.

“Might as well. It’s been a while since I did some exercise myself.” Soren pushed himself up. “Let’s go.”

They walked over to the equipment in the center of the courtyard. Jameson looked it over, confused as to what some of this could even be for. He recognized the sports stuff, like basketball hoops and such, but most of that was taken by others. So... they were left with the more traditional exercise equipment. JJ stared at it, then slowly sat down on a chair-looking thing. He thought that he had to pull down on the handlebars hanging overhead. Slowly, he reached up and grabbed it, trying to pull. But the bars didn’t even move.

“I think you can adjust it,” Soren said, looking over the chair. “There has to be a dial or switch or something here. Ah.” He found something and turned it. “Try now.”

Jameson reached up again and pulled. It was difficult, but at least the bars moved a bit.

“Don’t know why this isn’t on the lowest setting by default,” Soren muttered, turning the adjustment dial again. “They have to know the state of their fucking prisoners. Try again.”

Jameson did. Slowly, he pulled the handlebars down. Then he let go. Maybe something else. He was already breathing heavily, almost gasping. God—he wasn’t that weak, was he? He was able to hold his own in a fight with Windstorm—Jackie. That neutrinalin was really doing a number on him already.

“Maybe the bikes, then.” Soren pointed at a pair of stationary bikes. “We can... try that together, then.”

JJ felt his heart flutter a bit, and he immediately pushed it away. It was too soon, and also, not a good person to do that with. He nodded and quickly stood up, walking over. After a moment, he sat down on the bike on the right.

Soren sat next to him on the left bike. “Alright... make sure... it’s adjusted,” he said, looking it over.

It’s by the pedals, JJ said, pointing it out to him.

“Ah. Right.” Soren put the bike on the lowest setting. “Well... let’s start.”

JJ nodded and looked away. He could ride a bike. It had been a while since he did it, but he remembered learning. And he didn’t have to worry about balancing it, or moving at all. He just had to move the pedals. It was... easier than that chair with its weird handlebars. Still difficult, but not nearly on the same level. Maybe something was wrong with the equipment. Maybe it wasn’t him. He closed his eyes for a moment, assessing his own body. That fatigue was still there, but he could push through it. He could.

A couple minutes passed before he became aware of the wheezing breaths next to him.

Jameson opened his eyes again and looked over at Soren. Though his bike was on a lower setting than JJ’s, he was gasping and sweating, already very pale. Suddenly panicking, Jameson reaches over and grabs Soren’s arm, grabbing his attention. Soren looks over at him with slightly dazed eyes. Soren, stop! JJ signed.

Soren blinked slowly, then stopped as soon as he finished processing JJ’s signs. He leaned heavily forward onto the bars of the bike, panting.

Are you okay?? JJ asked, worried.

There was a long pause. “...Pathetic, isn’t it?” Soren muttered.

JJ shook his head. It’s not your fault. It’s the neutrinalin, isn’t it? He paused. I told you... you didn’t have to exercise with me.

“I wanted to try,” Soren said. “See if anything had changed.” He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them up and sat up straight. He grinned. “Well... I guess I’ll wait for you and offer encouragement on the side.”

Are you sure you’re okay? JJ asked, surprised by this sudden change of attitude.

“Of course.” Soren stood up. Jameson couldn’t help but notice the way his arms shook as he pushed against the bike handles to help himself get up.

I think you should go back to your... room, Jameson said slowly, deliberately avoiding the word ‘cell.’ It still felt too harsh. I’ll be fine on my own.

“I don’t want to abandon you,” Soren said.

I’ll be fine on my own, JJ repeated insistently. Go... lie down.

Soren stared at him. Then he nodded slowly. “Alright. If you insist. I’ll head there now.” He hesitated. “You... good luck.”

JJ smiled at him. Thank you.

As Soren walked away, Jameson watched him thoughtfully. He’d thought that Soren had been handling the neutrinalin side effects well... but maybe he wasn’t. Maybe... he was just good at hiding things.

===============

Getting the whole group together was messy. Jackie and Chase had to take the train to the Channel 5 building to meet up with Marvin, then they had to discuss a meeting place, then they had to call Schneep to tell him about the meeting place, then they had to wait for Marvin’s shift to end before they all could take the train—by the time they were all together, almost two hours had passed.

The meeting place was a park. Neun Park, to be specific. It was a nice enough place, with a weird abstract concrete sculpture in the center and tall pine trees around the edges. Jackie paced across a short stretch of grass between a bench and a drinking fountain. Chase, Marvin, and Schneep stood nearby. Even though the bench was empty, no one made a move to sit. “You are sure?” Schneep asked, face drawn and worried.

“There’s no mistaking his fucking voice,” Jackie said. “Anti-Virus did this.”

“Maybe he was lying?” Chase suggested.

Marvin raised an eyebrow. “It’d be a huge coincidence that a massive leak happened the day after he threatened to show Jackie what he could do.”

“No, I don’t think he’s lying.” Jackie shook his head. “I’m sure that he did that. He really hacked the fucking League of Heroes. And they didn’t even catch him!”

“Has the League said anything to you about this leak?” Schneep asked.

“They sent out a generic message about keeping everyone safe,” Jackie said. That text had come through on the Red Line right before he and Chase left to find Marvin. “And that they were working to find the culprit. I don’t think they have any leads.” He paused. “I should tell them about what Anti-Virus said, right?”

“Uh... yeah?” Chase said. “They can’t catch him if they don’t know he didn’t do it.”

Marvin narrowed his eyes. “You’re worried that you’ll make things worse.”

Jackie raised his shoulders defensively. “What do you mean?”

“He told you to stop looking into him,” Marvin stated. “And if you tell the League he was behind the hack, that would count as ‘looking into him.’ You’re scared he might retaliate.”

“Not scared,” Jackie grumbled. “But... you’re otherwise right. I-if it was just me, if it was just my identity on the line, I might... I’d be willing to risk it. But if he can get into the League’s databases, that means countless Heroes are at risk of being exposed.” He looked directly at Marvin. “Say what you will about Heroes and the League, but there’s no doubt that there are a ton of villains out there who’d take advantage of an identity leak like that. Hell, there’s probably a lot of villains trying to take advantage of the leak that just happened! I... I can’t be... responsible for that.”

Chase stared at Jackie with a sad look in his eyes. “You’re not responsible for this leak, you know.”

Jackie looked over at him. He wanted to deny it, but found the denial got caught in his throat. “I... I could have...”

Schneep walked up to Jackie, putting his hands on his shoulders. “Do not blame yourself for what this monster has done,” he said fiercely. “If he could do this the whole time, there is nothing saying that he wouldn’t have done it anyway, regardless of if you turned the evidence over.”

“No, it... it’s not just that,” Jackie said quietly. “I... taunted him. I said that he couldn’t do anything, that he was limited to spying on people. That’s when he said he would show me what he could do. It... it wasn’t just about the evidence. It was that I goaded him into it.”

“No, Schneep is right,” Chase said. “If Anti-Virus can do this, he could do it whenever.”

Jackie laughed drily. “That isn’t actually encouraging. It just means that he’ll probably do it again even if I stop getting in his way.”

“So? That means you’re gonna give up, then?” Marvin laughed. “You didn’t strike me as the type, Windstorm.”

Jackie bristled. “That’s not—”

“Yeah, it is what you’re doing,” Marvin insisted. “You’re getting scared and giving up.”

“Shut the fuck up, you don’t know me!” Jackie snapped.

“But we do, Jackie,” Chase said. “And... yeah, it’s not like you to give up like that. You’re a hero, bro. And heroes do the right thing despite all obstacles.”

Jackie looked around at his friends. Well, his friends and Marvin. Though, at this point, did Marvin cross the line from acquaintance to friend? He wasn’t sure. The point being, they were all looking at him with similar expressions. Expressions that he couldn’t name. He sighed, and raised his hands to sign. Don’t speak out loud. Do you all have your phones?

Marvin and Schneep caught on immediately, nodding. Chase looked confused, then realized as well and also nodded. 

Put them all down on the bench, Jackie said. We’ll have to get out of earshot of the microphones. He took his phone out and set it down first. Marvin followed him, then Schneep, then Chase. They all walked to the side, away from the bench and towards the drinking fountain. Frosty, accompanying Chase as always, seemed to look at the humans with confusion. “Okay, I think this is far enough,��� Jackie said quietly.

“Isn’t this a bit paranoid?” Chase asked.

“No, I don’t think so.” Jackie shook his head. “Yesterday, he was able to look through my phone camera. I was wearing my supersuit, and he pointed it out. So... there’s no reason why he shouldn’t also be able to hear through the speakers.”

Chase went a bit pale. “Well. That’s... freaky.”

“So, why do you want to be out of earshot, then?” Schneep said. “You want to say something that you do not want Anti-Virus to hear, yes?” His expression hardened a little. “You are going to take that bastard down, yes? You better be planning to say that.”

Jackie grinned. “Of course I am.” His smile fell. “But I’ll have to be careful. We’ll have to be careful. So fucking careful... I’m not going to risk other people’s identities. Anti-Virus can’t know that I’m looking into him.”

“That we’re looking into him,” Chase said. “I mean... I can’t do much to help with that, but I don’t want to be left behind!”

Jackie laughed. “Thanks, Chase.” He looked at Schneep and Marvin. “And I bet that you two want to do the same.”

“Of fucking course.” Schneep nodded firmly. “After what he has done to my cousins? He will not get away.”

“And that fucker made Jameson control me,” Marvin said. “He’s gonna pay.”

“Good. Cause... we’re gonna need some of your paranoia, Spitfire,” Jackie said.

“It’s not paranoia if I’m right,” Marvin insisted.

“That’s fair.” Jackie’s eyes darted around, looking at the others. “But my point is that we’re not going to say shit about the investigation while we’re anywhere near technology. Only in person.”

Schneep nodded. “What about when we need to meet up? We cannot do this runaround every time, it takes so long.”

“Uh... what if we always meet up here to do that?” Chase suggested. “So that if someone mentions Neun Park, we know that it has to do with Anti-Virus.”

“That’s a good idea, Chase,” Jackie nodded. “This is a great meeting place. It’s sort of midway between our apartment and Marvin’s work. It kind of sucks that Schneep lives farther away, though.”

“Ah, I can handle the travel,” Schneep said. “If I could not, I would not live out there.”

“We can always change the meeting place if we want to,” Marvin pointed out. “So. What’re we going to do about Anti-Virus, then?”

Jackie shook his head. “I’m not fully sure. I trust Ace—he’s, uh, a detective I know—I trust him enough to take care of the evidence I handed over. But... there’s more to do. I-I know there is. We have to figure out who Anti-Virus is.” He rubbed his eyes. While his vision is briefly covered, Marvin and Schneep exchange glances. “And we have to find Timekeeper.”

“Well, that first one will probably help with the second,” Chase said.

“You’re right.” Jackie lowered his hands and looked at Chase. “But it’s also possible that if we search for Timekeeper, it will give us a lead to Anti-Virus. We need to attack this from two angles.”

“I can help with finding Dahlia,” Schneep said. “JJ had told me she was at St. Ellen’s Hospital, and that she was injured in a super fight. I can perhaps pull some strings as a SDER doctor to find out what happened to her. If she was ever there in the first place.”

Jackie frowned. “You sure, doc? We don’t want to leave a paper trail—or, uh, electronic paper trail. You’ll have to go in person.”

Schneep blinked. “That will make it more difficult... Many hospital communications require emails or phone calls or filling out forms on websites...” He trailed off. “Ah, but you, as a Hero, can bypass all that.”

“I can?” Jackie blinked.

“Yes. If Dahlia really was being taken care of by St. Ellen’s SDER department, you, as a Hero, can know details,” Schneep explained. “It is the same with the SDER at Greenway. After all, there is always a possibility that super-related injuries will play a part in the super fights you normally take part in.”

“...that feels... sketchy,” Jackie said slowly. “Like, I know that makes sense on the surface, but... I don’t want to go in and demand her medical details.”

“Well, it seems you will have to, if you want to find her,” Schneep said. “The doctors will ask for proof that her details are related to something you are working on. Simply tell them that you are looking into Timekeeper. After all, Dahlia was injured in the same fight that the hero was last seen in. It will make sense.”

Jackie nodded slowly. “...Right. I... I can do that tomorrow.”

Next to him, Chase frowned, looking vaguely uneasy. “That was... the last fight Timekeeper was in? Really?”

Marvin nodded. “Yeah. I thought we established that at Jameson’s apartment when we found the tape.”

“Yeah... o-of course.” Chase shook his head. “Don’t mind me. I just... you know how my memory is, hah.”

Jackie and Schneep looked at Chase, concerned. But, ultimately, neither of them said anything, even though Jackie made a mental note to ask him about it later.

“We should probably put on a show for the phone microphones, just in case Anti-Virus really is listening,” Marvin said.

“Right.” Jackie nodded. “Everyone, act upset that I’m not going to investigate more when we walk over.” He turned around back towards the phone. The others followed.

“Are you sure?” Marvin said as he picked up his phone. “This really isn’t like you.”

“I’m not going to be responsible for it,” Jackie said, putting his effort into sounding convincing. “I-it’s too much of a risk.” And honestly... he was still nervous about that risk. He wasn’t going to let Anti-Virus get away with this, but... he was very aware of the possible consequences.

“I cannot believe you,” Schneep muttered, sounding so realistically angry that Jackie shrunk away for a moment. “That is my cousin, your friend, in prison.”

“I know,” Jackie said quietly. “Um... look, I-I already turned the evidence in, they’ve probably seen it by now. There’s no stopping that. But... I’m not going to help with the investigation.”

Schneep grumbled—and again, it sounded so real that Jackie wondered if Schneep was genuinely upset with him. But then Schneep’s expression softened and he smiled at Jackie, reassuring him. Jackie nodded back.

“Well... you two better hurry to catch the train, then,” Marvin said, looking at Chase and Jackie.

“Oh fuck, right.” Chase checked the time on his phone. “It’s coming in ten minutes, Jackie, we gotta go.”

“Shit! Yeah, yeah.” Jackie nodded. “Talk to you guys later.”

As he and Chase headed off, Schneep also started after them—but then Marvin grabbed his arm. “Hey. I want to talk.”

Schneep looked back at him, raising an eyebrow. “About the same thing you came to my office about?”

Marvin nodded.

“I am working on it,” Schneep said. “No specifics in a public place like this. If we want to talk about it, come to my apartment, yes? Your workplace may not be as safe as I thought. I will text you the address.”

“Is there anything you can say now?” Marvin asked in a low voice. “Even just the vaguest terms.”

“I have been looking around the area,” Schneep said. “Getting my bearings, yes?” He was up late last night scouting out the North SepTech location.

Marvin nodded. “Alright. Text me your address. Let me know if there’s anything you... want to talk about.”

“I will,” Schneep promised. “Now... goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

The two of them part ways.

✨{Introduction}✨

Hello! You may know me from my other blogs. Well, i made a new one, cause I have no sense of impulse control, and I think he need more writing blogs specifically for crossover ships.

RPF/Stuff involving real people (Stuff like c!mcyt characters and musicals where the characters are based on real people are on thin ice /srs)

Anhedonia (Symptom of depression, this shit is eating me alive because there's spurts of joy from shit but mostly I just feel numb all the time)

Something related to sleep maybe (Idk my circadian rhythm is fucked, I can sleep for 12 hours and still feel like I've been put through seven different steamrollers and the only thing keeping me from going right back to my pseudo coma is my eyes refusing to stay shut)

Walking and gait/posture shit (Literally the only way I could walk for like 9 years was through toe walking, and it got so fucking bad that when I tried to put my feet flat on the floor I'd start falling backwards, got surgery to lengthen my Achilles tendon, and now I have lower back pain, foot pain and my knees feel like they're locking up after a while even though I can still bend them, and there's probably more lol)

Chronic pain (Again, lower back and foot pain, pain in my limbs that feels like it's in the bone, headaches almost everyday and I know my reports say otherwise but it's still a daily thing I'm just stupid and forget to go the school nurse for my meds, also I chug liquid Tylenol like it's from the fountain of youth and I get finger joint paint and the bone and joint pain I try to relieve by cracking my joints but it either doesn't do shit or makes it worse)

Fatigue (Sleep issues already mentioned, my limbs sometimes feel tired and it's only the limbs, I'm in my bed like 90% of the time and idk how voluntary it is anymore)

\\ Family situation and friends:

Live with my 71 yr old grandma who's been my primary caretaker since shortly after I was born

Grandpa is alright (was a neglectful shithead towards his own kids though) but him and his current wife (Not my grandma) are transphobic but unknowingly affirm my name change because my grandma masked it as wanting to distance myself from my mom

Oldest uncle likely had bipolar 1 disorder (undiagnosed because neglectful dad and mental health stigma shit) who committed suicide on my mom's birthday/about a month after I was born

Currently living uncle is kinda anti-vax (he said that a coin stuck to his skin because COVID vax made him magnetic or something and if that were true people who work with screws would get a shit load of boosters) and not the best but there's absolutely worse so yeah

Mom likely has ASPD (also undiagnosed but idk my grandma reading the opening section of the Wikipedia article for ASPD and says it's literally her then I think that's pretty damn close but idk I'm dumb, also I don't hate people with ASPD I hate people who are garbage regardless of reason) and had (also likely still has) a drug addiction (heroin specifically). She found out she was pregnant because she got caught in a sting and purposefully swallowed 10 balloons of heroin and when they did an ultrasound to see if any were in her stomach/intestines/whatever there was a stupid dumb baby (me), and she did not stop doing heroin throughout the pregnancy. This led to me being born addicted to heroin and went through a withdrawal that notably consisted of a seizure minutes after being born, and when I was taken back to her room like right after being born and before the seizure she literally said "I don't want her*, give her* to mom." So uhhh yeah, also unsurprisingly she gave 0 shits about me and pawned off a Barbie airplane I got for Christmas 2017 for drug money (though being 7 fucking years old, I thought it was cigarette money because the place she was staying at had ash imbedded into the carpet)

My relationship with my cousin is weird, but the things of note are that he used to watch wrestling and would try to perform moves he saw on TV on me (he's 3 years older than me so he wasn't going to kill me or anything, but probably wasn't super pleasant), when I was 9 he was playing bitlife and wanted to act out the shit his character was doing and his character got someone pregnant and he wanted me to lie in his bed in front of him and I said no (he asked me a couple times and tried reassuring me that he wouldn't dry hump me but I was super uncomfy and at least he didn't actually force me to do it so that's good maybe), I'm pretty sure he either put a pillow on my ass and slapped the pillow repeatedly or he slapped my ass with the pillow repeatedly (either way I was laying on the floor), he flashed me at least once after he took a shower because he covered the trampoline in soap and asked me if I saw his dick and I refused to answer because I just wanted to play with his Mario chess set (did not use that shit for chess, I was a dumb kid rping with chess pieces lol), and he showed me his dick on the trampoline. I'm probably slandering him by only saying that kinda shit about him but idk we don't talk much anymore so yeah

No clue who my dad is and it's not the guy I got my last name from (if you know me irl you'd know that my grandma's last name and mine are different and it's not because she's married), I have a hunch though

Rex was the guy who I thought was my dad for a while, he was roped into drug addiction by my mom but he did infact give a shit about me (though he was better suited as the fun uncle than a dad but I'll take what I can get), he would take me with my mom to "the corner store" which was probably a dollar tree/general/family and but me mike and ikes and now n laters while my mom would buy cigarettes for both of them

Susan, Rex's mom, used to try and spoil me because she actually had money (I love being poor /s) and she bought me the Barbie airplane from earlier and an entire Barbie dream house but she let my mom (and maybe Rex idk) mooch off of her and she got evicted from her apartment (the one with the ruined carpet, that shit would stain my feet when I walked on it), so she moved in with her dad and had to offload her old cat Spazzy to us because cats weren't allowed there I think so that happened but before she got evicted she would let me stay up when I stayed the night at her house and I'd watch adult swim and robot chicken gave me nightmares I think and I wanna watch that one show that was probably written by someone with 10 bongs in their mouth (which probably doesn't narrow the list down at all)

My best friend I met at a preschool that was also a church and I literally just went up to them and asked "wanna be friends" and they said yes and their life has probably changed for the worse because of me so yeah, their brother has autism so they probably do too but their parents haven't gotten them tested soo but they used to take my shopkins beanie from me (it was playful, id run after them and I'd get it back) and so I did that with their pink beanie back for a while and there was this thing where they'd act like my robot and I could command them to do shit and they'd give me stupid error messages (god recalling this shit makes me miss being a stupid idiot child) and it was super fun I think and gay and then in 6th grade I had like no classes with them until I got the surgery then I had 2 including ela and then in 7th grade we had a couple of classes and this year we literally have 0 other than lunch and if I have a dollar for everytime the school I was going to had a different principal come in because the last one was upgrading their position in the school district in the last year that I was going there and made me have no classes with my friends id have 2 bucks and 5th grade sucked kinda because of that

Sailor (who I'm name dropping because istg if you don't use Tumblr by now then what are you doing with your life) was someone who I shared classes with for a little while, we went separate ways in like 3rd and 4th grade and then in 5th grade the school therapist mentioned them to me bjt they changed their name so I was confused and then she invited us to lunch in her room and there was this "YOURE TRANS TOO???" moment we both had and then we reconnected and then 6th grade was kinda a disaster but we still had each other then they got accepted into an alternative school so we lost contact in 7th grade and then we reconnected at pride this year and we played ponytown together for like 5 minutes (which lead to me finding a really cool lavender infection rp and I ended up adding the person who started it on discord) and we went to the gay youth center thing together this year as well and I've sent them stupid TF2 shit and I think they're a system now which is cool I think idk I'm a singlet lol

There's this other friend who I know I had history prior to 6th grade but we really only reconnected in 6th grade because we had a tech class together and during a 7th grade field trip to the zoo I got their phone number and also sent them stupid TF2 shit and I see them sometimes in the hallway because both of us use the elevator at school so uhh yeah also they're a little hard to understand but I'm also stupid so that might be why (I'm not trying to be a dick my brain just needs a minute to process what they say I'm sorry)

Yeah there's probably more but I'm lazy and need to go to sleep also can you tell that I got lazy here anyways uhh gay gay homosexual gay you stupid gay bitch /pos /lh

Introduction

Welcome! My name is Mel and this is my place to shout into the void about things I'm way too obsessed with. I'm in my 20s, female, pan(demi)romantic asexual and also autistic/ADHD as hell. I post about a variety of things but here are the fandoms you're most likely to see (in no particular order):

Pokemon/Pokeani

Ace Attorney

Bleach

Inuyasha

Animal Crossing

Stardew Valley

Love Nikki

Undertale

Other things to know about me:

Personal posts will be tagged as [#mel's musings].

I have two tags [#little songbird] and [#forest for the tree] for my OCs Sylvia and Denise, respectively. They're my two pseudo self-inserts reflecting different aspects of my personality that I can throw into whatever fictional universe I'm hyperfixating on in the moment for my own enjoyment. If you're curious I have overviews for each of them in this post—I'm somewhat selective about sharing plot details for the various AUs I have but if you have questions about the characters themselves I'm more than happy to answer them! I love my girls <3

In addition to the fandoms listed above I am also EXTREMELY autistic about music—I have a background in piano/classical singing and have been in choirs all my life since 4th grade. I have been bestowed with the blessed (and sometimes cursed) combination of absolute pitch as well as pitch-color synesthesia. The former is the ability to identify pitches without a reference note and the latter is a phenomenon where my brain associates certain musical keys with certain colors, temperatures and scenery among other things. It is a HUGE special interest of mine—ask me questions about it and I will literally love you until the end of time I'm serious. Even if it's as simple as sending me a song and asking what color it is or asking me for thoughts on video game OSTs because I have a LOT

A follow-up to the above point: I love all things music theory and analysis and whatnot but in my excitement I have a tendency to get a bit TOO technical sometimes. I will do my best to make things as accessible as possible in my personal posts or when answering questions directed towards me (unless you specify it's not needed) but if that's not your niche any posts of this nature will be tagged as [#music nerd shit].

BE WARY OF FOLLOWING IF:

You are weird about multishipping. I like many ships for many different reasons and there's a lot of overlap between characters (just as an example: for Ace Attorney I am primarily a Narumitsu/Wrightworth shipper but I also enjoy Krisnix, Feenris, Gumworth and Langworth and I will make posts about all of them). All ship posts are tagged as such but it's something to be mindful of

You dislike long tag ramblings. I tend to do that a lot, so if that's not something you can just Ignore than this blog may not be the place for you (side note: if my tags on a post ever don't make sense there's a decent chance I'm just having a conversation with one of my mutuals through tags because some of them Do That. Deal with it)

You are overly invested in pro/anti discourse. I have things that squick me out just like anyone else but if I see something I don't like I just block and move on. It is not my job to police the behavior of random strangers on the internet and I don't need any of you weirdos trying to convince me it is please for the love of god go outside

KEEP YOUR TERF/RADFEM BULLSHIT, EXCLUSIONISM OR BIGOTRY OF ANY KIND THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME. IF I SEE ANY OF THAT SHIT I WILL BLOCK ON SIGHT

If you follow me and need anything specific tagged (whether it be for spoilers or other reasons), shoot me a message and I'm more than happy to oblige.

My askbox is always open if you'd like to talk about anything at all whether it be fandom shit, music nerd shit or otherwise. If you'd prefer me to answer privately please specify as such when writing your ask.

I do not condone the use of generative AI or reuploading art without express permission from the original artist. If I accidentally reblog AI/stolen art please send me a message letting me know so I can delete it accordingly.

If we are mutuals and you'd like to get to know me more, feel free to message and ask for my Discord! I'm not a part of any servers at the moment because that sort of thing intimidates me, but I do enjoy talking to my friends there and you could be one of them. If you'd like. But you need to make that clear to me first so hmu if you're interested <3

And that's about it, really! Enjoy your time here and I hope something nice happens to you today <333

[ladykailolu]

Ok so I've been mulling something over for a bit. Regarding the jjba x zelda breath of the wild AU "Life in the Wild".

Well guess what? Guess what? I'm getting into Ace Attorney now and like Chris Chan, I've got no creative self-control and whatever I'm into bleeds into my current work lol! ...That was an exaggeration.

Anyway, I'm thinking about breath of the wild again now that tears of the kingdom is right around the corner. And I thought about the Joestar and Zeppeli ancestors of 10,000 years ago who successfully defeated Dio and left the tools behind to defeat him again to their far flung descendants. One of these ancestors is Mela Aspesi Zeppeli, the new 28 year old chief engineer who oversees the development of the advanced technologies the Zeppelis brought to Hyrule. Mela is also the ancestor of Gyro, Caesar, and the Zeppelis of the present day.

You see, before Dio struck Hyrule 10,000 years ago, Hyrule enjoyed a period of peace and was an advanced civilization, enjoying such technologies as motor vehicles and carts, flying platforms, anti gravity tech, robots, AI, advanced weaponry, a tower based radar system to detect monsters, fast transport, cameras, time-altering tech, magnesis, remote bombs, water freezing tech, and so on and so forth. All of this tech was thought to be a gift from the Goddess Hylia, the wisdom of which flows through the Zeppelis.

Mela was a prized jewel in the Zeppeli tribe. She was a humble servant of the Goddess, and considered of great importance in the hierarchy of Hylia's servants. She was also the object of affection of many men, all vying for her attention. Godot was one of them. He was a researcher of these technologies, seeking the truth of their construction and teaching others how to build them. He's got the gift of communication, and uses it masterfully to disseminate complex ideas to others in the Zeppeli tribe, to the Royal family, and to the Hyrulean officials. Additionally, he's got a way with poetry, and he often reflects upon the technological prowess of his tribe, kingdom, and the mysteries of the Goddess, putting his thoughts on paper, some of which are preserved for the far future.

So he's got an eye for Mela. She's pretty, she's intelligent, she's dainty like a flower, she's as tough as steel. When she wears the chief engineer's crown, she illuminates the room. He's taken by her, and his position allows him to work with and talk to her. She's friendly with him, and surely, she picks up that he's interested in her. Romantically.

...

...But she's in love with someone else.

Jodie Joestar, a warrior woman from the Zonai tribe moving through the southern and humid Faron Jungle, has Mela's heart. Jodie did not have powers of articulation or the knowledge of the machines or the graces of the Goddess. She did not live in the civilized world. She lurked in the jungle, hunting, foraging, surviving against the elements. How successful could she be if she was a klutz who always tripped on something, even the air? She did not have the same brightness as Mela. And yet, she commanded Mela's attention simply by being present. What did Mela ever see in her?

So, Godot is fond of Mela, but he's not so fond of Jodie. Eventually, he catches on that Mela sneaks away to see Jodie, and at first, it annoyed him, then it frustrated him, until it angered him so much that he secretly meddled with certain affairs to demand Mela's attention to her work. So he could have more time with her and have her have less time with Jodie.

It was like holding Mela captive, and Godot could see how this was hurting her. It even caused him to reconsider his feelings and plan. "I'd rather see the one I love happy with someone else than unhappy with me." It hurt him to let her go, but it was for the best.

By the time he realizes that he made a mistake, it was a little too late to change anything. Jodie's home was destroyed, her people either killed or enslaved. And Jodie would follow suit. She was not enslaved, but she was brought into civilized Hyrule and forced to assimilate. She and Mela could never be together. They needed to preserve their bloodlines and prepare for the eventual return of Dio.

What did this mean? Exactly what you think: Jodie had married a man, had a few kids, and lived a relatively quiet life until her death. But even death couldn't quiet her despair and anger at the Hyruleans and the Royal family.

And Mela...she also had children with a man. But who was that man, the father of her children? Hmm....who knows indeed. ☕ 😉
