Casualty: Storm Damage FINAL episodes!

[chipper-smol]

@pupppppppy is to blame for this scene finally getting out of my head

Context: this is the split second when possessed Wukong punches Nezha into the ground and then turns to MK. These two are not on good terms in this au, so Wukong begging for Macaque to save MK is a pretty big deal

I'm sorry to this author who is probably just trying very hard to promote something they worked hard on but my god nothing has ever made me want to read a book less than this advert

[hometownrockstar]

my least favorite iceberg videos are ones where the person doesnt REALLY care about the topic, just finds it interesting, and is like "theres a lot of things on this one so im gonna speed through them a bit" like WTF. i come here to find out every little bit of info on everything there. is that not fun for you? looking into this?

[multi-lefaiye]

y'know what. i'm gonna share a couple fake episode titles and synopses relating to the into darkness campaign.

i think i deserve a high five for the restraint i'm showing in keeping these short, considering how fixated i am on this campaign.

Okay community, Alastor is confirmed ace (not sure about aro) and full respect to that.

Cannibalism generally follows a sort of spectrum/political alignment chart thingy in degrees of epicurean (eating others for sake of consumption) to psycho-sexual (the inherent need to consume as an act of devotion or need, usually attributed to “sexual” because of the adjacent crimes that follow).

I wrote a Drabble about Alastor having an adverse reaction of Velvette and Valentino’s “love potion” thingy which slides him along that spectrum, delving into how to express an asexual experiencing a ravenousness that is attributed to this, but is in no way sex to any degree.

Generally, I’m wondering if I should keep this to myself, or if anyone would be interested in reading it. Any questions will be replied to.

TEEHEE THANK U they're both disasters. Love me a good '2 idiots pining for each other' trope.

Fenix (going by Hoodlum at the time) helped Phantom shortly after the events of Kingdom Battle repair his theater at Spooky Trails and put on a musical to try and 'woo' Princess Peach. Yet in their collaboration they grew a respect for one another, into friendship, into romantic yearning.

Fenix's love of stories and genuine acting talent surprised Phantom, who had initially waived her off as 'useful, but an uncouth vagrant besides'. Phantom's charisma and clear passion for the arts delighted Fenix, who only had the recounts of Beep-0 to go off of on how Phantom was. Closer to the events of Sparks of Hope, Fenix has a bit of a, uh, breakdown. Not interacting with others for 10 years aside from encounters with Rabbids when she used to hunt them, then suddenly being surrounded by her former quarry that have ultimately forgiven her (something she yet herself cannot do), leads to her suddenly up and leaving the Mushroom Kingdom to travel the galaxy and sort herself out (and establish Wardens along the way! Warden of Wardens, that Fenix).

But Phantom, having only be left a hasty note from someone he found kinship with, was a bit. Miffed. He left the Kingdom himself, leading to the several messy relationships and ego trips we hear of through the game leading up to DLC 3. He'd never admit it, but he subconciously was following Fenix, picking up on her trail here and there pretending he didn't care but oh he did. Being referred to as the Warden of the Space Opera Network was fine by him; he'd show Fenix just how great he had been after she left.

OFC they reunite post-DLC 3 with Fenix joining Rayman at the Network to help keep things in check, and she finds Phantom in his fckin...Basement Lair being a big sulking baby and ultimately apologizes to him for leaving as she did (though she did hear of his escapades and boy howdy she'll chew him out for that later) and all Phantom can do is quietly say he's just happy to have her back. EVERYONE CAN SEE THEY LIKE-LIKE EACH OTHER BUT THEY CAN'T SEE IT THEMSELVES, THE FOOLS

@tinybigfoot no i love information! which is unfortunately often in conflict with "i'm not looking up shit," like might be found on wikis easily lmao, except for when i'm having an "i'm extremely looking up shit" moment. love the drama of the scene having a known time via Newspaper b/c of the accurate contemporaneous headlines rather than being able to simply read the date; didn't know about that event! and this is me just yesterday looking at bits of paper in the backdrop of one of the Introduction comic pages like ooh can i read this (no) imagine it if had Clues (don't think it would & doesn't seem to anyways)

another zany fact to remember that yeah according to those character profiles mitzi Would Have It Be Believed she's at all younger than mordecai, ft. the implication that since yeah he was born in '99 & mitzi Was born in the nineteenth century too, she's either the same age or slightly older. let's go Circa Thirty Characters....which is mostly just mitzi who'd deny as much & mordecai having a couple years to go, fingers crossed. then we leap over to people born in the '80s lol

ok i think its a good thing that sky high never got a sequel because they said what they wanted to say and explored their fun plot and setting in that movie and if they made a sequel it would be pulling at strings and a useless cashgrab and we would all have wished they would just let the fiest movie's closure rest. BUT. if i were in charge of a sky high sequel heres what it would be like

plot centers around the superhero community's weird thing where they feel more kinship with villains than civillians

thus, it starts with there being some serious schoolyard fight (maybe even... outside school hours?) between the protags and speed+lash, who are still sort of... majoring in villainy. protags get in trouble with administration for fighting, and theyre like "??? im sorry, these guys were being EVIL. you know. like VILLAINS." and the school is like What they do with their education is not up for us to judge. distrust sows.

will is dragged to a "party" (its like a bbq or something) that some of his parents' colleages are holding bc of like. a big. win. in superheroing. idk. anyway so there are a bunch of superhero families there in their civilian identities. will (and any friends that might have come) start talking to this other kid at the party

they ask why they havent seen her at school, and she says she doesnt go. why not? she scoffs and says that she would just be tossed aside in every class. protags tell her that the school is working (slowly... but working) on the sidekick/hero division thing. she says shed get tossed aside anyway. "why? whats your power? i promise you can make use out of any—" she doesnt have any powers.

oh! well. still. Ron Wilson didnt have any powers "yeah and he became a bus driver. i know Ron Wilson. hes a family friend. he shuttles superpowered kids around twice a day for minimum wage. even if you have an "in" in the community, if you dont have powers, youre just there to clean up ater people that do."

will thinks about it for a bit. he realizes he was sort of pushed aside before his powers developed... but it doesnt sink in and he pushes back (tells her he agrees but doesnt) because he was just so happy to get his powers. that couldnt be unfounded! and... and superheroes only step up because they have the power to make a difference. she should feel lucky that she doesnt have that responsibility attached to her life. she can go off and do whatever she wants without feeling bad about wasting power.

anyway laila gets radicalized again by this obviously. she is, in fact, now so against this division that she quits sky high and transfers to a civilian school to protest. she and will try to keep dating, but it really doesnt work with all that tension and they break up halfway through the movie.

the school laila transferred to is also the other girl's. lets call her toni. laila is really annoying to toni. whenever theyre away from observers, shes trying to use her powers to "help" toni, and other such annoying ally behavior. eventually, toni agrees to do a little interview on her experience with the super community if laila will leave her alone. laila agrees.

meanwhile, the rest of the friend group are having their own adventure discovering just how... ok the super community is with villains. obviously its not. like. ACCEPTED, thats why warren was so ostracized. but yknow. one day someone asks in mad science class if dr medulla is evil and he doesnt have a good answer. someone asks if lash and speed should be allowed to be the villains every time in save the citizen, and boomer says he cant force them to make their team choice. etc

laila goes in to interview toni at her house, in the process realizing that one of her dads— who was at that big superhero barbeque and whatnot— is a known supervillain. she panicks and awkwardly leaves the house trying to hide her discovery, and rushes to tell will

will doesnt know what to do with this. he attempts to subtly ask his mom, and gets an answer like "yeah, i dont get it. [sigh] but if he doesnt hurt anybody out of costume, and the others want him around... what am i gonna do about it?" he does the same with his dad, who says like "oh jimmy! yeah he was pretty cool in high school. definitely a rebel. i dont know why he got into the villain game, but its not my spot to judge him! just to stop him by force and send him to jail when its relevant."

will freaks out. this is all very strange. obviously there are problems with villainy, otherwise superheroes wouldnt exist! right? ...is toni going to become a villain? i mean, she hates the hero school system so much now, is she going to fight it when shes older?

ok im getting tired so im gonna fast forward through the rest and its gonna be all bones no meat. lets go

something happens to will that seriously injures him, and he thinks its toni's fault somehow. even as he recovers, it leaves him with a permanent disability that his powers dont help with. he considers himself useless again

laila and toni end up creating some kind of vigilante non-superpowered hero force, who swoop in to save the day alongside the powered heroes at the end of the movie

the protagonists discover that the super community doesnt differentiate between villains (fighting for the greater good but against heroes and/or the law) and villains (actually doing evil things) because hero licenses (which are a thing now ive decided) and villain classifications are given based on breaking the law

additionally, supervillainy, within certain ethical bounds (yknow if nobodys getting killed or anything) is sort of considered... a sport. half of major league superheroing is... recreational. like sparring.

but! and you'll never get this! non-supers described as villains get punished WAY WORSE than supers described as villains (again, within certain ethical boundaries)

laila plans to transfer back to sky high to encourage them to start a mandatory ethics course

whatever big fight scene ends off the movie, it has "villains" who have a sense of ethics fighting alongside less-legalist heroes, against actually evil villains and legalist "heroes". the villain-type students from the first movie (penny etc.), who still go to sky high, are fighting alongside the real villains until the end when they figure the whole thing out and decide to switch

will ends uo at the center of the Big Fight bc of course he does. he tries to fight Main Enemy (still havent decided at all who this is) on his own, for pride reasons and to prove that his new disability doesnt define him. but it does cause him to fail, and he gets ready to like. die in battle or something idk i never went to superhero school. but his friends save him, and he realizes that just because he cant shoulder as much weight as he used to doesnt mean he cant help in certain ways, and that even when he CANT help he doesnt have friends who are willing to fight for him and whatnot

its a disability metaphor. did you get that part? bc i believe the first movie was a disability metaphor.... except that the thesis was "simply stop being disabled" so im changing that.

also for legalism and police corruption. that too. there are two metaphors. :)

in the epilogue we learn that sky high is working to start providing course plans for students with no powers, and several adults in the community have become activists fighting for... i guess to make it so superheroes' and villains' intentions arent seen as an extension of lawfulness? idk this parts harder to solve. still

as for little details that arent plot-relevant:

theres strong subtext that ethan, magenta, and zach are all dating and thats fun

warren and magenta have joined a civilian poetry club that they go to after school

theres a student who exclusively refers to will as "billy"

there are NO REFERENCES TO MARVEL. i dont CARE if theyre both owned by disney. im keepin em SEPARATE. no cameos or easter eggs. you can have the incredibles playing on a tv somewhere but thats THIN ICE

there is however an astro boy reference :)

ron wilson bus driver reappearances. he refuses to take relevance in the plot hes just there. and big now.

i just think itd be funny if one of the characters had a Real Gun. i havent decided who or why

    𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐊𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈: One of the oldest power houses in Kyoto, the illusive women of the Kobayashi bloodline prefer to seek refuge among themselves. In the world of Willow && Flowers, the name invokes that of iron will && power. Girls who align themselves with Okiya Kobayashi are often hailed as famous Geiko who will live a life of abundance, never to know anything more than the servitude that the art requires, they will ask for nothing && desire nothing. For those who are special && can invoke the inherited technique of Miyako Odori, they will prime themselves as candidates for a faction of the estate known as ‘no face women’, beings that are able to take the likelihood of others. In days of yore, the Kobayashi’s pride themselves as problem solvers, the end && beginning, one who would bring harmony when the balance shifts. Assassins by nature, their secrecy is rooted in protecting those they hold dear to their hearts && one another, they emphasize to be one of them is to know the song of sorrow.       The inevitable one must live between deception && truth, that this life they were born into requires all, there is no moderation. Their family crest is that of the towering wisteria tree that has hailed for generations, a sea of lilac that blooms && dissipates, holding in each petal another tragedy marked with heartache while in other cases, death && dishonor. They have lived in three factions, the Era of the Full Moon, The Age of Gold, most recently after Kobayashi Sayuri’s ascension into Godhood - The rule of the Lunar Eclipse. Their ferocity is to move as one, a unit where even the weakest shall show their worth, to love a Kobayashi is to know even in the beyond you shall never be forgotten && remain immortalized in their bountiful gardens.     𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬: a Matriarchal dominant clan, there are few traits one can tell easily when speaking to such beings. They are petite women with small dainty features, long black hair or auburn easily swept in traditional styles. Gray eyes are common amongst the family; the rare more prized are gold to hazel. It is rumored that many of the women are cursed by yokai blood, leading to their own tragic lives, in candlelight or that of pale moon, one can see such monstrous features. When not garbed in costume or public appearances, they are often seen in colorful yukata that are bold, arrogant, even flashy for the younger generation while the older prefer more subdued looks with luxurious fabrics.    𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡:  The Inumaki Clan, they are particularly fond of the family considering both were known for their lineage of natural born assassins. It is common for the women of the Kobayashi clan to marry into the Inumaki family. Though, on the other hand they have entangled themselves into a generational feud with the Zen’ins. Though arranged marriages are also known to happen in order to smooth political in fighting.

reading thank you jeeves and bertie asks jeeves for semantic clarification more than he ever does and i was violently reminded of this bit

[ex-textura]

Hiii! Hope you are having a great day!

Tell me something more about Ciaran, please?

How is he dealing with his urges? Does he give in or resist them? Did he try to hide them from his companions?

How is he dealing with his memory loss?

If you want to share anything else please consider the question asked! :)

Have a splendid weekend! 💜

Vitani, my dearest! You're such a wonderful enabler I do so love seeing your face in my notes 💚💚

I'm having a great weekend so far! My kiddo is having a weekend away with her grandfather so I went dark for a day to recalibrate. It was excellent.

Oh Ciaran, Ciaran, Ciaran. How is he dealing? The short answer is, he's not xD or at least, not well. I'm gonna go on a bit of a ramble because this man absolutely fascinates me and I can't wrangle my thoughts so I'll let them roam free.

So Ciaran woke up soaked in blood and his first thought was more. More blood more carnage more death. Revenge.

His second thought was, "Wait, that's awful. No." And he's been fighting against that sultry voice in his head telling him to embrace the slaughter ever since.

At first he thought the bloodlust and memory loss must be a symptom of the worms in his brain so when he met Gale, this knowledgeable man who seemed keen to educate, he told him immediately about his blank past hoping it would help. Gale didn't seem too worried and so he opened up quickly to the rest of the camp about it. He told Gale about the evil thoughts a bit later, after Gale came to him and said he trusted him on account of all his good deeds, but again he didn't seem too concerned so Ciaran brushed it off as a normal side-effect and did his best to ignore it.

He was enjoying making friends, meeting the tieflings, helping people and being called a hero. A little boy wrote him a story. Alfira taught him to play an instrument. He met a dog!

Everything was so good.

Then Alfira came to camp, after they'd cleared out the gnolls.

He'd washed his hands of the carnage and went to vomit but didn't hide the body. He couldn't bear to touch her. When everyone woke in the morning she was still there and Gale knew, immediately. Called him out on it, and Ciaran confessed his sins.

He didn't know what he was doing. He woke up like that! He TOLD Gale about the violent urges he TOLD HIM and Gale said it was FINE but it wasn't fine and now his friend is DEAD!

Gale got a little cold with him after that. Kinda everyone did, except for Astarion. And Ciaran, aware now that he wasn't like the others but a monster not to be trusted, started thinking about death. His own, most often.

He started letting Astarion feed on him every night. It satisfied the evil voice a little, to be letting blood, even if the blood was his own. And every night a part of him hoped that this time Astarion would take it just a little too far and he wouldn't wake up again.

He's still fighting the urge so hard though and the others have come around a little. Gale seems to trust him again, mostly. They're putting worms in their brains together.

Gale taught him about the weave and while they were connected a thought came to Ciaran that he hadn't really considered before: He wanted to kiss Gale. He really really wanted to kiss Gale. Only they were connected by the weave so Gale knew what he was thinking and while he wasn't repulsed by him (thank the gods) he didn't do anything about it, thanked him for the moment and left. Ciaran took it as a kind brush-off and resigned himself to his embarrassment.

Then Astarion approached him.

Astarion understood him. He knew him and still he wanted him. So Ciaran slept with him, and shut out his pining heart.

They just cleared the goblin camp and while doing so something sort of unraveled in Ciaran, if only for a little bit. It's a lot of death, that fight, and a good direction to point murderous urges. So he leaned into it. Put away his staff for blades, stripped down to just his pants and painted a bloody swath out.

He's going to have to deal with that at some point, once he washes the viscera out of his hair. But first, a party to celebrate his 'heroism'

He's so confused. He's so, so confused and scared and disgusted with himself. He's a mess. I love it

[simping-on-the-daily]

I know very little about Twisted Wonderland but I think it would be really funny if MC woke up from their coffin to see that they've been given a gun. The Gods or whatever just gave them a fucking AK-47 or some shit and they get to keep the gun throughout the entire story.

[closedrop]

Any of y’all know where I can find resources to read up on the Puyo lore??

Recently I was having a conversation with my oh so good friend and they casually brought up that Schezo has a sibling??? Like that was common knowledge??????

I just feel like I’m missing a lot

[aubreality]

Hey~ how was the wedding 💒 ?

-Banana Pal 🍌

Hah hah! Hello there BB, good to see you!

Aww! How sweet of you to ask!

It was held down in Hell because it was a royal wedding and Aub didn't have much people she could invite.

I didn't mind! I became very close to all our imps very fast!

You can imagine the size of a Royal Wedding! The wedding itself was "smaller," only having my closest friends and family, but the celebration lasted a few days among my kingdom!

Oh but the wedding itself~! It was straight out of a fairy tale!

You were beautiful my love~

He held my hands on his, his gentle eyes staring into mine

And finally when we were pronounced husband and wife, I picked her up and spun her before kissing her. Bit cliche but she's so much smaller than me! What do you expect! Haha!

And our first dance was to one of my favorite songs, and frankly the song that describes us to a tee! Tale as Old as Time!

There was no one else in that moment, just us~

Hehe, and the next day, I because a half demon, didn't I?

Yes indeed, princess~

And of course, what is a wedding without amazing food! Gal is a gluttony demon after all!

Mmm~ it was delicious~ All our favorites!

So yeah, that was our special day!

We could certainly go into more detail, but there's so much to cover I feel like it would take all day!
