The image flickered onto the screen as the broadcast began. Lando, clothed comfortably in sweats, a cap, and his streaming headphones, looked briefly off camera to where his guests sat waiting to be introduced.
He glanced up at Streamlabs and was shocked to see he had upwards of 30,000 viewers. He had only just started the stream and many people had likely not even gotten the Twitch notification yet. He shook off his shock and plastered on his usual smirk.
Everything is fine. I am totally and completely fine.
"Welcome, welcome. How are you all doing today? There's a lot of people here already. What's the special occasion guys?" He joked, being met with a scoff from the girl to his left.
Everything is not fine at all.
Lando almost never felt nervous when he would stream. After all, he was just playing game with his friends, the chat comments streaming through at a speed he could barely read. Even then, being in Formula One for so long meant he was used to being watched, his every little move being observed nearly constantly since his debut in 2019.
And yet all it took was her presence and suddenly he was nervous. His palms were sweaty, his heart was beating at a mile a minute- honestly you would think he were racing. How could he be expected to be funny and charming when she was here. She never seemed to struggle much in the department. It was almost entirely natural for her. Being perfect was like breathing air to Y/n he suspected.
As he watched the chat messages stream past even quicker on his monitor, he finally caught Oscar's gaze out of the corner of his eye. The younger man quirked a brow at him. What's your problem? His teammate seemed to say. He ignored him. Stupid Oscar and his stupid opinions and his stupid, uncomplicated love life. Lando envied the Australian most days, but now he just wanted to punch him straight in the jaw.
"Alright, it seems like most people are here already, so I'll just get started. I'm sure you're all wondering who my special guests are. The suspense must be killing you surely," He teased his audience. He ignored the completely accurate guesses in his chat.
Was he so predictable that it could be assumed it was either his teammate, Y/n, or Max were his special guests? Or was this a more unfortunate warning sign that he was just plain old boring.
"Seems like most people in chat were smart enough to figure it out! Please give a warm welcome to my guests! The lovely, stunning, awe-inspiring Y/n!" He cheered as the girl groaned, rolling her chair forward so she was behind him and within the frame of the camera.
"Oh and also Oscar's here," Lando added boredly, voice almost entirely monotone. Oscar scoffed loudly and he shot into frame kicking Lando's chair roughly, almost knocking him over and startling a laugh out of the girl behind them.
"Your an asshole mate," Oscar scoffed. Lando didn't hear him. The melodic laughing in his ear from Y/n was quite frankly the only sound his brain could process.
Who knew a laugh could sound so beautiful.
Who knew I could be so god damn embarrassing, Lando thought miserably.
"Guys do you see what I have to put up with!? How I get any shit done around here is a wonder," Y/n scoffed, "Anyways, welcome everybody, this is my stream now." Lando squawked indignantly.
"Excuse you, your in my home!"
"Yeah, unfortunately," she muttered with an eye roll and Oscar laughed.
"You should be grateful! Although these aren't the circumstances I was hoping to have you here under for the first time," Lando said with a completely unsubtle wink.
Y/n grimaced and Oscar doubled over with the force of his laughter.
"Viewers I am so sorry, please leave now, I have no way to muzzle him and apparently I can't sensor him," Y/n scowled.
"I fear he might enjoy that," Oscar muttered with a shake of his head.
Oh you motherfucker, Lando thought. Talk about subtle.
"If it was you, I probably would," Lando said to the girl and she planted her palm into the center of his face and shoved him lightly.
"Oh gross, cooties or STDs or whatever it is you men carry," Y/n shook her hands off and fake gagged.
"EXCUSE ME!" Lando shouted as Oscar nearly fell out of his chair.
"You're excused!"
āāāāāā ą¼»ā©āāā¾āāŗā§ą¼ŗ āāāāāā
Y/n was holding on to her sanity by a thread. Or whatever was smaller than a thread... a hair or something. They had been answering fan questions for nearly 15 minutes already and Lando had decided today would be the day he would do nothing but flirt with her incessantly. He was like a child with a question or dog with a bone; He wouldn't let it the fuck go.
The sound of text-to-speech beginning dragged Y/n out of her thought spiral.
"Lando, what is your favorite video you've ever filmed?" The question asked.
Oh brother, Y/n thought. She looked at Oscar and he only laughed. How helpful.
"Probably the water TikTok challenge," Oscar hummed in agreeance.
"Why?" Y/n asked in confusion. She realized belatedly that asking Lando anything right now was probably a bad idea. She had set herself up this time.
"I don't know, I'm just a personal fan of anything that involves your hands in my hair," He smirked and she rolled her eyes. Her stomach flipped as she looked at his eyes. How could such a stupid, stupid man have such nice eyes (and lips, and teeth, and-).
"Well that's interesting," She smirked back, leaning her body toward him, ignoring the way she was blushing down to her chest. Her ears felt hot. It was hard to focus when she felt like she was burning alive, an unfortunate side effect that seemed to come with the irritating Brit in front of her.
"That was my favorite too," she added and Lando's eyes widened. Oscar looked at her in confusion over Lando's head.
"Really?" Lando asked, suprise clear in his voice. His smirk fell away for only a moment, but it was long enough for Y/n to notice.
Poor little Lando Norris, she thought. A bit too easy to read, this one.
"Yep," she grinned, before letting her face fall. "I'm a big fan of anything that means I can drown you." She responded in a monotone voice. Oscar cackled. The poor guy had hardly been asked any questions. Y/n found she didn't feel too bad anyway. The asshole was enjoying her suffering far too much.
Y/n knew the chat was going wild at their interactions, but she didn't really find herself caring. Maybe this was a bad look from a PR stand point, but then again didn't they always say "any press is good press."
Y/n wondered if the idiots who said that had ever had an inappropriate attraction to their asshole of a coworker, who just so happened to be public figure with fans who were becoming more aware of the tension with every day that interacted.
Probably fucking not.
Y/n watched as Lando's faux upset face cracked into a smile as he began to laugh heartily. She couldn't help but smile. Y/n was finding it hard to hold onto whatever grudge she had before. Maybe Lando Norris and his perfect smile, and his stupid jokes and his charming attitude weren't all that bad. Maybe, just maybe.
But they had absolutely no affect on her. None at all.

A Collection of Silly Prompts With Alastor
ā¢ Imagine telling Alastor that just because heās a man, that doesnāt mean that you wonāt try to get him pregnant? You saw it trending on Sinstagram and wanted to test his reaction.
āIām sorry, darling, but could you repeat what you said just now?ā Alastor turned his head over his shoulder to ask you, his eyes meeting yours as you stood behind him, your arms wrapped around his waist.
āI said that just because youāre a man,ā You started, slowly unraveling an arm from his waist, his back immediately stiffening against your chest, āThat doesnāt mean that I wonāt try to get you pregnant.ā
A bleat escapes Alastorās throat as your hand travels underneath his pinstriped coat, palming the swell of his ass with a mischievous look etched onto your features, but the way you squeeze it in promise was what does it for him.
āOh? Is it the afternoon already? My, I must get going to prepare for my broadcast,ā Alastor quickly says before vanishing from your arms, making you stumble forwards with a pout.
āItās only 10 PM!ā You try, but heās gone. At least you felt the way his tail raised up against your stomach, flaggingāa sign that he felt threatened by your words.
ā¢ Imagine giving Alastor a kiss while youāre wearing lip gloss? Youāre sitting on his lap and holding his face in place, your hands on his cheeks as you lean in and plant your plush lips on his.
āOh, what is thisā¦ strange sensation?ā Alastor blinks as you pull away, his tongue darting out and tasting the pink lip gloss you just transferred onto his lips. āItās warm and sort of slipperyāoh, and it tastes like strawberries!ā
āNo, no! Donāt eat it,ā You say as you lean in and kiss him again, this time pressing your lips much harder against his, your noses squashing together. āIf itās not supposed to be eaten, then why does it taste as if so?ā Alastor asks.
āLook, I just want to take a picture,ā You say, reaching into your back pocket and pulling out your phone. āBecause we look like a couple of baddiesā!ā
āHa! I do not know what a baddie is, but absolutely not,ā Alastor says, a tendril materializing around your arm, grabbing your phone and tossing it to the side.
ā¢ Imagine convincing Alastor to take a nap with you for the first time? You have a lot of Squishmallows on your bed because of your daughter, so when he gets there, heās seriously wondering how you manage to sleep.
āWhere am I supposed to lie down, exactly?ā Alastor hums, still fully dressed, as he watches you pull back the covers. āThere are too many of these limblessā¦ā His eyes flick to their round, black eyes and tiny smiles, āā¦soulless looking creatures in the way.ā
āJust take off your shoes, shrug off your coat, and get in here, old man,ā You tell him as you lay back, eliciting a displeased look from him. āTheyāre soft like pillows,ā You show him, your head sinking into the Squishmallow behind you, āSee?ā
āVery well, then,ā Alastor sighs in resignation, begrudgingly doing as you instructed him before joining you underneath the covers, lying stiffly on his back. āItās not so bad, right?ā You move onto your side, reaching out to cup his jaw, turning his face towards you.
āWell, I suppose it isnāt half as bad as I thought it would be, darling,ā Alastor smiles at you, relishing the feeling of your thumb swiping affectionately across his cheekbone, but he quickly comes to regret what he said.
At first, it wasnāt bad, but throughout your short nap, you end up pulling the entire comforter away from him. He tries to pull it back, but he eventually gives up after going back and forth with you for 10 minutes, staying awake and hugging a Squishmallow to his chest as he watches you nap with a grumble.
ā¢ Imagine Alastor playing Dress to Impress with your daughter? The best thing he probably has is a flip phone, so you lend him your own iPad so he can join your daughter on Roblox.
āThis isā¦ this is ridiculous. How am I supposed to dress this model in a matter of minutes?ā Alastor scoffs as he plays with his back hunched. āAnd the clothing choices are terrible! Like thisā¦ā He points down at the screen, a tube top underneath his claw, āWhat is this?ā
āThatās a shirt,ā You say as you appear right behind him on the barstool, propping your chin on his shoulder, your chest pressed against his back.
Bless the old-fashioned manāhe thought it was some sort of undergarment, like a bra, and the way his face flushes in embarrassment is a testament of that.
āI have one of those, actually,ā You murmur into his cheek, his eyes widening and his ears falling flat against his head. āWould you like to see how it looks on a real person?ā
āMommy! Youāre distracting Alastor and thereās only two minutes left,ā Your daughter whines from the couch, so you wrap your arms around Alastor, whoās flustered, replacing his hands with yours and playing the game for him. āIām just helping him!ā You laugh as she calls you a liar.

Welcome to the King of the Claudes Tournament!
A silly little place with polls about our favorite silly little actor, Claude Rains!
Prior to the creation of this blog, we were shocked (shocked!) to find that across the Tumblrverse, time and time again, Claude Rains would be beaten by fearsome opponents in the race for the crown of various hottest/scrungliest/what-have-you titles. So, we've decided to take matters into our own hands to give some well-deserved love to this beloved character actor through various polls!
The King of the Claudes Tournament has begun! Polls will be posted once daily at 7PM EST!
We're going to be matching up all (and we mean all!) the roles Claude has played over his decades of acting to decide which one of them will be The King of Claudes! All characters(we're talking the famed Captain Louis Renault, the mad scientist Jack Griffin, as well as other lesser-known portrayals like the kindly Mr. Jordan and the cankerous Professor Benson) will be submitted by default and it's up to the voters to send in their favorite propaganda(pictures, GIFs, stories, video clips)!
Our list of active polls can be found HERE or through our #round one tag!
As of this time, we're only going to be looking at Mr. Rains' film career, so no TV, stage, or radio portrayals will be in the running this time around. This goes for propaganda, too, so please don't send in entire radio broadcasts as propaganda(we know they're great, you don't have to tell us!).
FAQs
Who's Claude Rains? Great question! William Claude Rains was a British screen/stage/radio actor who was primarily known for his character acting and there was never a role he couldn't seem to play (When asked about his versatility as an actor, he replied that he "can play the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker"). He was a frequent collaborator with stars such as Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, and Cary Grant, among others and worked with directors such as Michael Curtiz and Alfred Hitchcock. He was nominated for four Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor and won a Tony Award for his role in Darkness at Noon. Oftentimes, people know him as "that guy" when talking about his roles in iconic films (such as Casablanca, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Invisible Man, and Lawrence of Arabia). He also served in WW1 (even fighting alongside individuals such as Basil Rathbone and Sir Cedric Hardwicke) and called himself a "gentleman farmer", often returning back home to tend to his farm in between shooting for films. Also, if you search up the term character actor, you see a lovely still of him in Sons of Liberty!
Why is this blog a thing? Because it has been a deeply saddening affair to watch Claude Rains get stricken down during various polls (and we mean every. single. one. [although, we had a grand Round One victory over on @vintagetvstars!]) and we feel he deserves to win something! Also, this blog hopes to bring more recognition to his great work! We'd also like to thank @hotvintagepoll for directly inspiring us to create this blog and if you haven't already, please go check them out!
Who should I vote for? We are judging the portrayal of the character here, not the characters themselves. Claude played a lot of baddies (some worse than others) but we are not judging how good or bad a character is morally, only on the portrayal. Who will be the winner? That's up to you! Which of these Claudes deserves to be crowned the King of them all? What makes them the King in your eyes?
How can I submit propaganda? Before the tournament starts, we will be accepting propaganda through a Google Form and we will be accepting written and visual propaganda(pictures, GIFs, and video clips) to go along with each character. We're also only looking for propaganda from the particular film a character is in, but we're open to headshots/professional stills from the time it was filmed! Please only submit propaganda for one character at a time and don't hesitate to send in multiple submissions! We'd like for each character to have propaganda, so go nuts in your submissions! Tell us why you think your Claude should be crowned King of the Claudes! Again, we are not looking for character submissions, only propaganda for that character! Don't fret, every Claude from a film will be submitted! Here is a list of all the possible characters to send propaganda in for!
Additional Propaganda? We encourage additional propaganda through our ask system or by tagging us @kingoftheclaudes. As previously stated, we will only be accepting/boosting propaganda from Mr. Rains' film career, so no GIFs from his various Alfred Hitchcock Presents or radio snippets from his various Lux Radio Theatre broadcasts. We also tag each film and each Claude in an effort to make things easier when searching through the taglist.
These polls are mean to be short 'n sweet (much like Mr. Rains!) and not meant to be taken seriously! We just want to have a good time enjoying the many works of Claude Rains and all views expressed in propaganda and tags are not our own!
The tournament is scheduled to kick off on Sunday, November 10th (coincidentally[or perhaps, not] Claude Rains' birthday!) and will compile of 28 matchups of 56 characters (since the character of Adam Lemp appears in three movies [Four Daughters, Four Wives, and Four Mothers], we are combining all his appearances into one and, contrary to Wikipedia's listing, Mr. Rains did not provide the voice of Jacob Marley in Scrooge. We are also opting to omit the character of Clarkis from Build Thy House, since there is limited knowledge on the film available, as well as omitting the character of The Mayor from The Pied Piper of Hamelin, since despite it later being released in theatres, it debuted as a TV special). We're tentatively planning on scheduling 5 polls a week to make this tournament last longer and each poll will run for one week!
What happens after the polls end and the crown is handed off? We may be open to doing a series of mini-polls, such as 'Best Father', 'Best Villain', 'The Battle for Science', 'King of TV Land' and 'Historical King of the Claudes' among some others. If you have some more ideas, let us know!
My question isn't answered! Feel free to send in an ask but always check the FAQ before, since your question may have already been answered!
We hope you enjoy our fun little polls and wish all the Claudes the best of luck!
(sneaky @tournament-announcer tag and a bonus Claude as a thanks for reading this far! :))

Did Tripitaka ever experience the heat of a tiger? It sure was confusing for him. Humans do not have mating seasons (we look for love when we want but this is not the case with animals).
It must have been difficult for him, especially around Azure. Did Tripitaka come to consider Azure as a potential mate during a time of mating?
OK this is nsft territory so be warned!
Tripitaka is an interesting character to analyze since he's supposed to represent The Idealā¢ buddhist monk for his adhereance to the rules... but he's never known anything else really. He was raised in a monastery, and very soon after becoming a priest (and solving his dad's murder + losing his mom), got sent on the mission for the scriptures. Would he be as dilligently a buddhist if his parents had not undergone such tragedies?
Tripitaka never approaches sexuality in Jttw (his own or others) because in Buddhist belief; sexuality is considered a "worldly attraction" like vanity or pride. Same reason the book never has him eat meat, whether for survival or unintentional (like in the Spider Sisters arc). It blemishes his perfect record.
But since the Tiger Monk au has Tripitaka in a situation where he honestly can't uphold the very human standards of buddhism...
Our boy fighting some biological demons rn.
My idea of Tripitaka is that he's mostly on the aro-ace spectrum, but seriously questions his sexuality over the course of the Journey. Seeing hot demons and celestials of many genders does that to a sheltered religious guy.
Combine that with a tiger's seasonal heat, and you got a monk frothing at the mouth, trying to keep himself from acting reckless.
Tigers go into seasonal "heat" every 3-9 weeks depending on the individual. Anyone whos met an unfixed cat or heard a cougar sounding like someone being murdered will know that these mfs make sure that you know about it. Tigers in particular have a deep "Meow" sound they broadcast to find mates. They even have "first dates" to get to know each other. Example.
Tripitaka feels weird one day and subconsciously makes a deep meow sound - scaring the whole gang. Wukong is immediately is putting a bicycle lock on that cassock!
I feel even when pushed to the brink of his urges, Tripitaka wouldn't be comfortable "going all the way" unless its literally someone he wants to stay with for the rest of their near-immortal lives.
Also his disciples are off-limits; the mentor-disciple bond is too precious to him to risk over a selfish urge.
But, Azure Lion offers an opportunity. He's a fellow feline demon with a similar Buddhist background who understands Tripitaka's moral conflict weighing his desires over his faith. He isn't the monk's superior or inferior, so no issue of power imbalances.
Tripitaka needs a moment to think. And to draft a diagram of pros and cons.
If these two ever did do "The Deed" (or just 3rd base)...
Macaque would be the first to know. And he'd be howling with laughter. XD At least until Azure threatens to tell the others why Macaque was in Wukong's room that very same night. Mutual glaring ensues.
And ofc Azure would be seconds away from being skinned alive by a quartet of the tiger's super-protective pilgrim brothers the very second of the them sniffs Tripitaka the next morning.
Peng would still brag in Azure's place as you can imagine - lion done pulled a baddie on insane difficulty. Yellow Tusk would shake his head in disapproval, but would also be a little impressed.

One Piece Chapter 1115 - Initial Thoughts
And we are back from another break
Another sneaky upload while I was coming home from work by TCB, plus other business has delayed me a bit, but now we can get to it
Secrets are pouring out, Joy Boy the pirate
Tell us more, Vegapunk
Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too
Back with the Yamato cover story, packing a lunch with Toko and Hiyori
And we're sticking with Wano since even they have the broadcast
They have the flag up as well, Straw Hat territory
Seems they had a Den Den Mushi in Orochi's possessions
Momo muses about Joy Boy being a pirate, having learned about him from Oden's journal
Tama's still there enjoying food too, seems like she lives in the palace now
Shinobu though hasn't 'matured' to her usual look, still looks younger
G4 Base?
Oh fucking...really? XD Demaro Black doesn't miss a hustle
Fake Kid Pirates mein godt hahahaha give it up lad
I mean why would you want to pose as someone who's worth 3 billion? You know how many would kill for 3 billion?
The navy at Egghead are also listening intently to his broadcast, as Vegapunk goes deeper into Joy Boy's past
He's only able to cover from a few Poneglyphs he's had access to (likely the ones Ohara had) but as we expected, a great war occurred; Joy Boy vs the future World Government
Dude was THIS CLOSE to the 'wait, are we the baddies?' moment
Warcury is not happy, as he still chases Luffy and the giants through fire
Mars is pissed too, using his Conqueror's Haki to destroy as many Den Den Mushi as he can find
Vegapunk continues though; of course the WG were just known as the 'Allied Powers' a coalition of 20 kingdoms against Joy Boy's faction - which in itself is a frightening display of Joy Boy's strength, even the superpowers of today could be taken down by a couple countries united, but 20? It took 20!
Alas, Vegapunk doesn't know why the nations were in conflict, just that it was a clash of ideologies, likely control vs freedom, but he chooses not to judge the morality
Zunesha is pensive, as the broadcast emits through Zou
CARROT! We missed you dearie, she's got a fancy Duke coat but she should be in Egghead with the crew Ā¬_Ā¬
Still, she marvels at Vegapunk noting how Joy Boy's kingdom was advanced beyond even modern science
Oh lord, it isn't just Demaro Black we're bringing up for joke cameos, I know that laugh, I know that headpiece!
Mother Fucking Foxy XD What is that tache man?
Seems it's just him, Porche and Hamburg sailing on a little boat, bandaged up and getting the rumblies
We go back to Stussy, who is contacted by Edison as Kaku lounges in the bubble still
Edison encourages Stussy to drop the barrier, it's useless since the Gorosei could just break through
Feels like you could've called her before diving through the barrier and nearly killing yourself bud
Saturn's also using haki to destroy the Den Den Mushi
Edison puts his confidence in the Straw Hats though
Nami contacts Jinbe, still carrying Zoro - who takes umbrage with him apologizing, since he was busy dealing with Lucci
Nami notices that the blockade is moving to their escape route, encouraging they hurry in her own way
Back to Stussy, she shows relief that the Straw Hats are likely to escape, but without Vegapunk, she wonders what remains for her, she has no purpose
Something Kaku seems pensive about, perhaps even sympathetic, since he can't suggest to her the zoo
Back to V. Nusjuro and Bonney kicks at the Gorosei as he seems to cut Oimo
Not a good landing for Sanji either
Seems V. Nusjuro's not paying full attention to the fight either, trying to use his Observation Haki to sense where the broadcast snail is
Still, he breaks free and slices at Bonney, only for her to be saved by Franky
The slash cuts the figurehead of the giant's ship, better that than Bonney's head, but now she's tuckered out since Distorted Future takes up stamina
As V. Nusjuro leaves the battle and we pan to Zunesha and the Iron Giant we confirm that the void century ended with Joy Boy's defeat
It's not the biggest revelation since the WG rule the world after all, but it also puts further context into all the regrets with Joy Boy and his comrades we have read about in the past
To limit the amount of life signs on the island, V. Nusjuro takes more drastic action, cutting the entire Labophase in half
This causes the CP agents and the bubbled Seraphim to fall to the Fabriophase below
As the Gorosei let gravity try to take those who swore loyalty to them, Vegapunk makes the latest revelation
Sea travel is perilous around the world, it's common knowledge, but a millenia ago it was not; the ancient world, the civilizations that existed in the void century, it's all underwater - they built on top of the ancient world
Also I gotta point out there's some absolutely stunning visual panels in this chapter
Koushiro and the Revolutionary Army also react to the broadcast, only he, Sabo and Dragon appear pensive
Coco Village!? Gen san how you doing! And Nojiko! Still preferred the short hair but she don't care about no global warming she has tangerines to look after XD
Vegapunk continues; before there were vast continents, which'd explain why so few would go out to sea beforehand, and with all of the evidence underwater it explains how the WG can erase a century of history, but it goes deeper - figuratively and literally
Since the void century, the sea has rose 200 METERS!
That's over 600ft; the size of the United Tower, bigger than the Great pyramid of Giza, and that's all Water Level
Naturally, the listeners - the navy - are floored by this revelation, since a Warship is only 60m, but other soldiers tell them to stop listening
There's at least some sense of loyalty - or preservation of cost - for the marines to try and 'rescue' the CP agents and Seraphim from gravity-induced splatter, a la one of their world leaders
Alas Mock Town must mock, there is one among the crowd who isn't laughing though, another one seems to have ignored gravity
Sakura kingdom - mainly Dalton - reflects on the revelation, with Kureha mulling how things continue to get interesting
Oh hey, Miss Goldenweek! Passing by as the island uses a mountain to compare the height
At Water Seven (given the Galley La jacket) Vegapunk discusses how such a thing can occur, and reveals it to have been man-made
Morgans is livid about all this BIG ASS NEWS, having to be shushed by Vivi
Vegapunk continues to show his work; there were no signs, no studies, no science to confirm a natural build up, and if it was natural it would've been made known as a world-altering event
He hints at the use of the Mother Flame, confirming his suspicions
The Gorosei - except Ju Peter, wormy is not getting a lot of love from Oda atm - look furious as Vegapunk continues to note that the sea level rises were caused by the ancient weapons
Those weapons remain dormant, waiting to be used again
And as we pan over to Imu Vegapunk reveals something both horrifying and sobering at the same time: The War Is Not Over
Every island was once a mountain
But time didn't have the influence it should have, Oda has been getting biblical with this lore drop by giving us the common religious theme of The Deluge. Flood myths exist in many religious stories and mythology (which I will keep separate to not ruffle feathers), most common because of Christianity is the flood in the Book of Genesis, which we've already touched upon in One Piece given Noah's Ark. Since we tread nearer to Elbaf it's worth noting that a flood as a role in Ragnarok also;
"the sun becomes black and the earth sinks into the sea, the stars vanish, steam rises and flames touch the heavens."
Once more this was a chapter where Vegapunk's broadcast takes more priority over the things we're seeing, but there are some stunning panels to enhance the revelations, we see also the Gorosei flaunting their haki showing the level they are while the monster trio remain incapacitated or indisposed. I'm at least proud of Franky coming in for some more rescue clutch action, but with Stussy I'm less convinced now that she'll be killed by Lucci, Kaku's silence is loud and maybe, just maybe, they can all see this as a way out. The CP agents are likely not to survive the fall, the Seraphim will and probably will live to fight the Straw Hats under orders of the Gorosei or York, they will likely be used more since the Pacifista are compromised. As for the revelations, a mix of stuff we assumed being confirmed and stuff that theorists have pondered and been vindicated, it's all underwater, which explains the walls in Wano, why Zou is on Zunesha's back (sidebar, how fucking long are Zunesha's legs? like it's gotta be 200m+ submerged alone), and why Water Seven's ruins run so deep.
Still, I enjoyed all the cameos, appreciated seeing Carrot again, and a Vivi cameo is always nice, plus I had to laugh with Demaro Black and Foxy, like who's next? Kuro? Morgan? Krieg? Arlong? Enel?? We have to get to Buggy and the Cross Guild at one point ofc, plus this could be an avenue to reveal the status of Perona, Moria, Weevil, etc.
but outside of that, little progress from the Straw Hats and the incident unfolding in Egghead right now, but given the revelations Vegapunk is giving the Straw Hats time, the Gorosei aren't focusing on them, they're looking for the broadcast snail - and I don't think it's even on the island.

So I noticed that with the Riddler bingo for this AU's Riddler specifically the "Arkham" space was left empty. So that leaves me wondering: what does the Bat do with all of his baddies after he apprehends them? Because as stated with Joker's backstory Arkham exists, but it seems it's not going to be used, so then where does Batman deposit all of his captured baddies at?
This is actually pretty important to a lot of plot points, so this is going to be kind of long!
Batman wants justice and dangerous things to stop plaguing Gotham, but Arkham isn't really going to help that. It kind of just makes people worse. Joker having been in there would also make Batman reluctant to send others there, because he'd be so distraught about the idea. He's been there for years. He knows the personal hell that that becomes.
There are many more circumstantial factors that lend to not sending the rogues to Arkham as well;
1
A big one is that Batman isn't actually able to capture a lot of them. For instance, the Riddler and Scarecrow never really get close to being caught. They're too capable and have such methods of evasion. The closest Bats has come to catching one of those two is when he and the Joker started working together. Before Eddie worked with Jo, he operated remotely from a hideout and broadcasted his crimes and riddles. Bats had already been working on finding this hideout, and he had finally located it right before the Joker joined his force. (That's all I'll say about that instance for now) But others like Ivy, Harley, and Polka Dot Man always slip away and are untraceable.
Also another little extra thing: Riddler is able to find a lot of information on bad Gothamites, especially the elite that Bats otherwise can't find anything to present fact about, so if he lets him get away, he can bring more people to him basically.
(The car they're driving is actually one I'm in the middle of designing, a souped up car Ed made just for heists that he named Elsa, after the bride of Frankenstein's monster - I know it doesn't look like a car, but I swear I tried T_T)
2
Bats also lets a decent amount of them get away because they aren't big enough threats. An example of this would be Music Meister. Is he a public nuisance? Yes, but is he really causing any problems? No. In this he's kind of just a silly guy who happens to be metahuman that still wants to use his natural gifts. He's pretty much a theater kid with too much power in his hands.
3
There is also a section of the rogue gallery whose issues are resolved before being sent to Arkham would be necessary. Clayface, Manbat, and Babydoll are some such rogues. Their roles in this au will boil down to maybe a chapter or so, depending. Their situations mostly require careful handing (and in Manbat's case being cured) to go back to living as best they possibly can. They're able to be reasoned with and get help, if that makes sense? I'm not sure that's the correct wording, but you'll see when we get there.
4
If the rogues have enough money, power, or influence, they themselves could get out of being sent there. This is how Penguin at least avoids ever being sent there, or charged with anything besides a warning, really.
5
Batman has also had the unfortunate opportunity of meeting Hugo Strange, the head doctor of Arkham Asylum, as Bruce Wayne. He got to witness firsthand just how demented and intelligent that man is and he'd rather not give Strange more victims to his madhouse.

*Spoilers!* (Warning- Iām about to get a little hot, guys)
The issue starts with a monologue by Sophie (and a very obvious and subtle commentary on Poland and PiS!) about humans falling into Empathās trap.
The team talks about the recent developments on the rooftop- Laura blames Sophie and Kamala defends her (Lauraās shmopsy got manipulated Kamala! Sheās pissed! š„ŗ)Ā
Dante is kind of A LOT while comforting David, who is trying to figure out their plansā¦ (sorry guysā¦ āthe Colossus jokeā was awkward and gave me the ick! lol)
It APPEARS like Empath and the Purifiers are working together and possibly brainwashing the rest of the team (I donāt believe for a second Hellion could help out the people who bombed his friends!ā¦but OKAYā¦)
While watching Marvels off-brand āTikTokā, we see protesters at Davidās apartment suddenly freezeā¦
Sophie shows up to apologize (she should have to take everyone to āOlive Gardenā, just to double down on that apology lol) and Kamala gets her girlfriend back in an obviously lovestruck scene (soorrryy Bruno and Miles- youāve been REPLACED! šš¤£)
Kamala invites Sophie up to the roof and we switch over to Empath telling us his āEVIL PLANā (trademark, patent pending!)- basically it goes like this- Julian creates fear and chaos among the humans they CANāT turnā¦ Empath funds the Purifiers, so active violence against mutants is being broadcastedā¦and in creating a situation of violence and despair, mutants form together to create a āNew Krakoaāā¦
After hearing about the āEVIL PLANā plan from Sophieā¦Kamala and Co decideā¦ to organize?? (ā¦Kay)
Kamalaās COUSIN is (of COURSE) there with her brother Aamir at the Purifiers protestā¦and they of course inevitably clash when the pro-mutant protest, led by Kamala, when they arriveā¦
While the protesters are ramping up, Sophie gets contacted by the other Cuckoos and goes āno contactā and frees the congressman from the Cuckoos control. (I really wish life WAS this easy LOL)
Sophieās psychic powers stop working after she rejects āthe Hiveā (Oh- are we going to get a story on how the Cuckoos powers arenāt working because one broke off and explore the issues with their minds being connected and the problems with their symbiosis???!! I am actually excited about that!)Ā
Kamala talks to the crowd andā¦ convinces them to lay down their armsā¦ and hug and sing ākumbayaāā¦ (ā¦Kayā¦)
Until a Purifier decides to try and shoot a protesterā¦which Laura handily takes care ofā¦ and EVERYTHING is HAPPYā¦and the WORLD is GREAT (minus the gunshot š)
Review:
I kind of donāt care for the plot point of the oppressed āmanufacturingā violence on their own to basically āforceā essentially a movement- this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, considering current political realities (Palestine, the US election, ectā¦)Ā
Truthfully- this WHOLE issue feels tone deaf, in a world where it was just announced Trump is propping Musk up as āDepartment of Government Efficiencyā and possibly cutting things like the FDAā¦
I get the writers had NO WAY of knowing how the election would GO- but I would argue THIS is the exact problem with X-Editorialās argument that mutants need to ābe traditional heroesā againā¦
I would also complain that I donāt see the Cuckoos and Hellion going along with this plan- where I could TOTALLY see Julian killing bigots- I DONāT think Julian would EVER be down with innocent mutants being killed.Ā
I do get the point the writers are making, and donāt even think itās a BAD POINT- if you want REAL change, people need to organize, support the community, support and volunteer for organizations that protect peopleās rightsā¦ we need to care about local issuesā¦ but I donāt know if this is a great story RIGHT NOWā¦ and I donāt know if the ābaddiesā being an oppressed groupā¦is GREATā¦š¬
X-Men HAVE always had mutant enemies- but Magnetoās violenceā¦ and even kind of Mystiqueāsā¦ was always represented as reactionary to human violence.
Shaw was always more grey and represented as not caring about killing mutantsā¦ but he was also representative of Capitalism and the power of wealthā¦ which is WHY his character WORKEDā¦
Hellion and the Cuckoosā¦Kamalaās cousinā¦Aamir suddenly being down for hating mutantsā¦
It DOES kind of send the message that the problem is THE OPPRESSEDā¦or that thereās a ārightā and āwrongā way for people to deal with OPPRESSIONā¦ and not thinking at ALL about the OPPRESSORS or the systems in placeš¬ā¦and I DONāT really LOVE THATā¦
The problem with this kind of story is Marvel wants to āhave its cake and eat it tooā, so to speak- it wants to represent a āmutant human allianceāā¦ but also make humans unrepentant villains committing mass war crimesā¦ itās elevated human violence against mutants to an absurdly HORRIBLE level, to the point that it makes zero sense for Mutants to have āanti-violent tacticsā at ALLā¦ itās transformed ALL the secondary āhumanā characters into mutants or simply doesnāt have them featured in stories AT ALL anymore (whereās Stevie? Whereās Dr. Peter Corbeau??)ā¦ itās time and again shown other non-mutant heroās donāt advocate or care about the crimes being committed AGAINST mutantsā¦ it doesnāt bother to really showcase pro-mutant organizations pushing back or beingĀ createdĀ at all IN THE BOOKSā¦
It wants to walk BACK Krakoa and Utopiaā¦ but thatās the ONLY plot point that makes sense anymore, when youāre writing kids getting mass murdered and genocided every weekā¦Writers have escalated the violence they featureā¦ to the point where the school setting and O5 antics at the āsoda pop shopā DOESNāT make sense ANYMORE.Ā
I also think this book is having trouble being a TEAM BOOK- five issues inā¦ and itās STILL mainly about Kamalaā¦
Lauraā¦Anoleā¦ have ZERO purpose in this bookā¦and in my personal opinionā¦ itās making it HIGHLY LIKELY this book is going to be on the chopping blockā¦
It just DOESNāT feel LIKE A TEAM BOOK- and I really feel like the writers are screwing themselves.
We saw what happened with Strainās āGeneration Xā vol. 2- its sales IMMEDIATELY dropped because it was a āstealth QQā bookā¦
Honestly- this is my biggest criticism with A LOT of X-books over the years; so many of them feel like āstealth solosā, when readers genuinely just WANT A TEAM BOOK. Thatās WHY people READ X-Men.
Much like Issue #3- it felt like filler. When so far two out of five issues feel subpar on a new series (with C-List characters)ā¦ thatās NOT GREATā¦ especially on a line of books where even reasonably POPULAR books get the axe.
I really WANT to love this seriesā¦ and I do think the writers have interesting ideasā¦ but I think they need to clean up this book a bitā¦
Make it more of a TEAM BOOKā¦ go back to WHAT FANS WANT with X-books- soap opera, more nuanced storytelling, character focused dialogueā¦
Honestly- you have a LOT of readers picking this UP because they want a NXM bookā¦ you have a lot of people reading for Hellion and x-23 dramaā¦ you have a lot of people reading because theyāre tired of Anole and Prodigy being wallpaper or JUST used to check the box of āempty LGBTQIA+ representationā and not real charactersā¦Ā
Maybe do that instead.
Theories:Ā
Iām kind of pissed we didnāt get Laura acknowledging Hellion AT ALL- I doubt thatās even happening truthfully. The love triangle is TOTALLY going to be Synch/Laura/Local, in my opinion- just to spite fans at this point.Ā
From the spoilers- Kamalaās cousin becomes obviously a Purifier (I bet he will try to shoot Hellion in the hospital)ā¦
Synch and Kiden shows up- I wish it was JUST Kiden TBHā¦
Hopefully we GET a āCuckoo identity crisisā of sorts lolā¦Ā
Dante will continue to have zero character development and just make awkward comments about mutant power setsā¦
But yeahā¦ WAY less excited about this book after seeing the end of this arc š¬
I could forgive a lot of the flaws, if the ending of this arc HADNāT been THIS LACKLUSTERā¦
I just donāt know what the X-line is doing anymore honestly

Okay, so I watched one or two Rathbone Holmes stories back in high school and decided I didn't like Nigel Bruce, but I've also seen you talking positively about the Rathbone Holmes movies/ episodes. If you're willing, can you say why you like them and/ or which you would recommend starting on? Is it a series to watch in broadcast order, or are they more stand-alone? Which ones are your favorite? I want to give it a second chance.
hiya, thanks for the ask :D adding a cut here cuz this post got realllyyy outta hand- so so sorry xD
I wanna preface by saying that I totally get the frustration of Nigel Bruce Watson- as much as I've come to care for this portrayal, there are still moments of disappointment? I feel? Mostly once you see all the potential in him before it gets unceremoniously dumbed down for the sake of comedy, and it can be trying sometimes, but I've learned to breeze past those moments and! There are definitely movies where he shines brighter than others! In the end, you may warm up to him or you may not, but I fully commend you on taking another chance :D
I did not really start off in broadcast order (my ass still hasn't seen rathbone and bruce's HOUN- bloody disgraceful lmao) and mostly watched in order of vibes, which seems to have worked out alright xD
I started off with Scarlet Claw, and after rewatching it this morning, I feel like it's an alright place to start! It's a good sort of mystery and there was enough element of equal partnership to get me invested in Holmes and Watson. But, I'd say it's still pretty lukewarm, enjoy it as I do, so to compound this long ass post lemme throw a list at you real quick of rathbone movies i strongly recommend-
The Pearl of Death:
Starting off with Pearl of Death not only for the 'Watson gathers the braincells' quality but because it's one of the genuine classics in the series- a brilliantly crafted movie from start to finish, and in my opinion, one of the better shot ones. This one is a good start, it's a bit slow in some places, but it's a good, neutral film that showcases I think some of the more concrete themes and brilliancy of the movies.
House of Fear:
I honestly dunno if I'm biased about this one, but it is genuinely one of my favourite movies of all time. It's the very second one I watched, and it's still in my nighttime viewing collection- I fall asleep watching this movie, which is a compliment I swear. Watson has a more active role, is genuinely trying his best for most of the runtime and falls more in line with 'genuine failure to succeed' more than just 'bungled it up for a gag'. It's a really, really excellent mystery and I adore Holmes and Watson's dynamic throughout- 10/10, freaking banger movie.
Pursuit to Algiers:
Then, of course, the Big Daddy herself- Pursuit to Algiers. This one falls less in line with a mystery (our baddies become pretty clear at one point) and more suspense, but man is that a good thing. The dang thing takes place on a boat for most of it, Holmes and Watson are attached to eachother like pairbonded shelter dogs and have the most balanced, affectionate of interactions, Watson gets to sing! And not to give away any spoilers (yeah shush, i know the movie's old) but a particular plot point happens in this movie and as a result, Nigel Bruce gets to do a genuinely heartbreaking piece of acting- seriously, there is a shot where he goes out onto the deck, completely silent of music and just looks out into the ocean that still has me unwell even after all this time. Goofy moments still happen in the movie, but they feel more organic, and overall there is a wonderfully grounded approach to Watson here- he's still silly, but it's a fun silly, and a silly that Holmes indulges in with him. The depth of affection between these two is ASTOUNDING in this movie, bloody unhinged behaviour. Great movie, do watch it :D
I'd say those three are, at least in my opinion, the best of the best! I do enjoy the others, but I think it best to venture into those once an affection has been developed, they do strain the patience a bit at times I'm afraid. (And it goes without saying, some of the movies have a definite propaganda vibe to them, which is charming sometimes and sometimes just grating, really depends on the day i think- none of the three movies listed above fall under this category though- and the of course, general warning for all the really poorly aged 1940s stuff, but you know that :>)
Except The Spider Woman. In really the bluntest of terms, fuck that movie, all my homies hate The Spider Woman, do NOT watch it (i'm only half joking, oh god its so bad)
Anyways, uh, sorry lmao-
I really must thank you for letting me put this incredibly useless knowledge to use, I'm so goddamn sorry it came out in this absolute massive scrawl- I wish you all the luck in your rathbone holmes adventure, and I hope you have an illuminating time either way it goes for you :D
#jesus christ the size of this lad#anyways those are my two(hundred) cents i really hope it helps!#if anybody has any other perspective feel free to share#and i know i was kinda hard on my boy watson here#but it is only because i love him so much i must bully him (jokE A JOKE)#number one girlfailure in my heart <3#sherlock holmes#john watson#rathbone holmes

Under threat from my sister @awkwardlysarah I have been forced to return to this hellsite in the middle of a delirious long day to post what she has informed me is the best idea she has ever had. please share and show her some love so that she thinks iām a cool older sister and not just a tired grad student with a nostalgic affection for this series. Seriously sheās really excited about this post and I love her so make her happy or else :) Without further ado:
The Cullens as Different K-Pop Fans
Disclaimer: this is all my @awkwardlysarah head canons not my sisterās @queertwilight. I decided to combine my love for K-pop with my sisterās love for twilight. My qualifications are that Iāve been listening to K-pop for 6 years, so I kinda know a lot. Also no hate to any of the artists mentioned, you can have your own opinions and Iāll have mine. Silly little post enjoy!

-secretly does watch K-dramas but claims its to help āappreciateā the music, has cried to almost every drama heās seen
-Does not understand the appeal of K-Pop groups, prefers what he believes to be the classics
-Though, Alice once showed him RMās album Mono and is now his biggest fan
-āNo, you donāt understand guys if I met Namjoon we would get along perfectly. We could go on a museum date together and talk about life.ā
-Loves RMās newest release Indigo and locked himself in his room to reflect on the lyrics in the album.
-He too, mourns the loss (of what would have been) his 20ās
Rosalie:
-she is such a baddie with her K-pop taste
-mainly a 2nd gen girl group stan, but dips her toes in 4th gen (mainly AESPA) because Emmett showed her a couple groups
-also loves soloists-mainly IU and BIBI and DPR
-BIGGEST 2NE1 and 4minute stan there is (prays on YG and Cubeās downfall)

-has her more mellow moments when listening to Girlās Generation and IU
-overall supports her girlies
-will fight trolls online that try to discredit any of the girlsā careers (
-has made multiple accounts deactivate because she proved them so wrong they could not show their faces online again
Emmett:
-OH BOY
-when Emmett discovered K-pop it was like opening up a portal that could no longer be closed
-he had casually stanned 3rd gen groups (since Alice listened to them)
-but then he found LOONA and other girl groups
-Rosalie low key curses this day btw
-became the biggest Orbit and Chuu stan
-āEmmett we have to go save Bella, sheās in danger.ā
āIdk, maybe if she stanned LOONA this wouldnāt have happened.ā
-is a photo card collector (Rosalie put a stop to this after he spent 3K on a Chuu broadcast photo card and getting scammed trying to buy other pcs)
-when I tell you he was so devastated that Chuu was kicked out of LOONA
-he didnāt have the strength to go hunting for DAYS
-helped boycott BlockBerry Creative #freeLOONA
-he does also dabble in boy groups; mainly Enhypen because he thinks they are actual vampires. (No one tell him it is just a concept it would break his heart, he streamed Bite Me for days because he felt SO seen).
Alice:
-MY MULTISTAN QUEEN!!!
-she knows everything about every group (obvi) and knows which groups are unproblematic
-runs an undercover KPOPpredictions twitter account where all her visions go
-Loves groups mainly for lore/storyline purposes
-like TXT, BTS, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, EXO, etc. she LOVES a good storyline

-has been featured in KCON dream stages and has been able to dance alongside some of her fav groups
-love planning her outfits for concerts and giving people inspiration on her social media platforms
āYou need help coming up with vampire themed outfits for Enhypenās upcoming concert, say no more Iāve got just the looks for you!ā
Jasper:
-some of yāall may be a bit mad about this oneā¦
-heās the problematic K-pop stan
-like his playlist is CONTROVERSIAL
-liked sticker when it first released (believed the flute is what tied it together)
-low key a Jay Park stan on main
-ā¦and a super junior apologist
(what did you expect he literally was a confederate solider)
-If a group has a cowboy concept he will be all over it tho, ātakes me back to my roots.ā
-will start shit online because he knows in the end he can control their emotions
-loves those unpopular k-pop opinion videos
-Alice does try to get him away from the problematic side of K-pop and it does kinda work, but like quitting human blood it takes him some time
-not a big stan, heās kinda in it for the drama and to be an instigator

Hi, have you ever heard the song
"Lady jesus" by Upsahl
At the peak of my locked tomb brain rot I always saw Gidoen/Kiriona for some of the lyrics
I'd love to hear your feedback or possible vision of it
oh, this is fun. hadn't heard this song before but I agree, it has some good Gideon/Kiriona lyrics. I am assuming you're approaching this with an animatic in mind? If you're not then I do apologize, but that's what I'm imagining so I'm gonna ramble about that and I hope it's still helpful lol.
I think the first step for turning something like this into an animatic (or lyric comic or whatever else you want to do) is to think about what message you want in the art. How complex is the story you are presenting? Are you diving into Muir's themes and messages? Or is your intent to make something that looks cool to show off a character and their personality? etc.
For example, one way I could imagine a "Lady Jesus" animatic as a semi-chronological Gideon >> Kiriona transition narrative, maybe told in a bit of a "you're probably wondering how I got here" sort of way. But there's plenty of possibilities besides that. You could focus on the triumph OR the tragedy. Like if you want Gideon to look really cheeky and badass then the vibe of the music supports that, and you can make it all glasses and swords and biceps and chussy out etc. Or if you want some angst, then it still totally works as a representation of the facade Gideon/Kiriona puts on at different moments of the books. You could even pull from BOE stuff...or you can focus way more on the Lady Jesus part of Gideon sacrificing herself for Harrow and even bring in GideonHarrowBod from htn. You can take the lyrics and compose your imagery to make it like the story is from Kiriona's pov and she's relating it directly to an audience, or you can use the music as a sort of parallel/relevant backdrop to whatever the visuals are, and so on. It really depends what you are interested/inspired to do.
I see a strong case for a sort of satirical narrative of how much Jod sucks told through the pov of Kiriona so if I were adapting the song that's probably what I would go for.
I think one of the first "look at me now" lines could be like Kiriona all tower-princed up, but then a later one is one of the scenes from ntn where she's absolutely miserable (killing Crux, in the truck watching Paul's birth, etc.) Same with "she's back, she's bad". Take advantage of the double meaning of words and use it for devastation :)
First verse works great for establishing Gideon's death. You can use "crying every night/sacrificed her to sleep" for sooo many scenes tbh. Add Harrow into the scene and do something angsty, or maybe it's just focused on Gideon's frustration in Drearburh compared to how Kiriona has achieved what she wanted (joining the cohort, knows who her parents are, etc.) but it sucks. Or maybe it's just saddest girl in the whole entire world getting her own moment.
"It's the second coming...middle finger to the sky" following can be a Kiriona intro also, either scenes directly from the text or a bit of headcannon supported by what Kiriona tells the other characters she's been up to. Just like a "oh hey i'm gideon 2.0" sort of thing.
"She's speeding down the 5 cause she already died" is another place that any sort of death or ressurection imagery (literal or metaphorical) pairs with nicely
"She got em kneeling like" - depending on what angle of story you're going for this could be like Harrow kneeling next to Gideon's body or it could be Kiriona Gaia and Ianthe Naberius doing tower prince shit (maybe next to Jod, perhaps in a room with "worshipful subjects". Or more brutally: on a battlefield surrounded by dead...herald beasts or otherwise. Gotta double check the text on that. Or just like. on the New Rho broadcast or sthng)
The bridge bit with "we all know God was a baddie but so was Jesus" would be perfect for some sort of 'Gideon's parentage' scene imo. Add Wake in there somewhere for me <3.
If you want to add some complexity to Kiriona's tragedy you could insert a Jod backstory moment at "Rose from the coffin, now I'm a prophet...blessed if I broke your heart."
Idk I have lots of little ideas coming to mind but it really really depends on what your end goal is! I also would like. Read through excerpts of the books and stuff because I'm operating completely by memory for this rn lol. Usually when I start art projects I do a massive brainstorm and make a ton of notes and thumbnails of all my ideas and then pick from the best and most cohesive ones. I also like to try and pull from my experience (of reading the books or whatnot) to inspire compositions and mood. For example I know when Kiriona showed up in ntn there was this huge shock of "woah, Gideon got so mean." And ofc as you read you understand WHY, and maybe that she's always been a little bit like that, but point is I think that attitude that Kiriona displays would be something I would personally pull from as inspo.
In conclusion: sans spending the time to storyboard something this is what comes to mind and how I would approach refining any ideas. Hope it helps a bit!
#sorry this got a bit long and vague but i was hesitant to just like. lay out an exact story or anything#figured my thought processes would be more helpful overall#but also...what do i know tbh lol#whatever calls to your heart is what i think you should use as inspo!#asks#rambles

[Review] The Legend of Korra (PS3)
A budget Avatar game done right.
Platinum Games are well known as specialists in "character action" games, flashy brawlers with tight controls. Around this time in the studio's life (2014-2016) they cranked out a few smaller licensed games like Transformers Devastation, a Ninja Turtles game, and this. These are normally seen as lesser compared to their flagship titles but they still have a solid gameplay core, and compared to some other Avatar games I've played recently this one really shines.
I've been rewatching Korra for the first time since its broadcast and absolutely loving it. The ideal for a tie-in game like this is a new story, so I was pleased to see new events in this poorly-titled game taking place between Books 2 and 3... now, the actual gap between seasons of the show is small, but they managed to squeeze a little week-long adventure in there. The settings and array of baddies to beat up are very much rehashed from Books 1 and 2, but a new antagonist with a wacky reveal gives it some spice.
After Korra is ambushed in the streets of Republic City, she finds her bending once again blocked. A creepy old wizard man has nefarious plans for her, and she travels through the new Spirit Wilds districts, to Air Temple Island, to the South Pole, and eventually into the Spirit World to stop him. He can summon dark spirits but has also coerced Equalists, paid off Triads, and acquired mecha tanks to stop her. It's a small, self-contained story but comes with some nice cutscenes animated well in the style of the show by American studio Titmouse.
The voice acting is also authentic with the show's actors returning... although, the budget scope is indicated here again. Jinora shows up in spirit form to give exposition, and there are minor appearances by Tenzin, Mako, Bolin, and Shiro Shinobi the pro bending commentator with a few lines each, but most of the time Korra is just talking to herself. The creative staff on the show also were involved, with the show's writing and art leads contributing the story, writing, and character design.
As for the gameplay, it works very well. Korra has her four bending styles that are unlocked gradually, each one giving you different options: for example, waterbending allows for ranged attacks, earthbending is slow and powerful, fire is fast, and airbending comes last and has totally OP area effect attacks. Each style has its own experience bar that unlocks new moves, and you can customise further with some powerful modifiers bought from Iroh's shop (get the health regen comb asap!). Aside from the four fighting styles, guard countering is very important, as well as knowing when to dodge and the occasional mini-QTE against bender characters. Another central mechanic is chi charging, where you can hold an attack button to charge up and fill your chi bar, which then powers up all your attacks before it drains. It's a little risk-reward thing but managing your bar becomes essential and makes for an interesting balance during combat sequences.
Between all the knocking heads, there's some light exploration and platforming. The structure of levels reminded me of Platinum's recent World of Demons: pretty straightforward with some short side paths for goodies, only more developed and three-dimensional. There's occasional pro bending segments, that use a stripped-down control scheme, as well as a side mode where you play out a series of bouts. There's also Naga sequences presented as three-lane 3D autorunners, which are a decent change of pace (although I did spend a torturous hour or two doing the triple-mecha tank Naga-back boss fight in Extreme mode). They're a million times better than the animal-riding bits in Quest for Balance, at least.
Although Platinum are known for their demanding action games, there are plenty of concessions here that make Korra accessible, from difficulty select to the shop's talismans that can give you a leg up. You still get ranked on each battle but I didn't have much trouble doing well, especially after unlocking the better combos and items. Most of the time I didn't find it harsh unless I'd chosen the specific tradeoffs that made it rougher, and dying is only penalised by starting the current fight over again.
This is pretty much one of the best Avatar games out there; a strong gameplay foundation, authenticity in presentation, a little sprinkling of fanservice here and there, doesn't overstay its welcome... too bad it was delisted a mere three years after release! It was on PC as well as both the PS3 and PS4 generation consoles, although I didn't have a PS4 in 2014 when I bought it so I dusted off my PS3 for this. It performed very well despite being "last-gen" at the time, and barely feels dated technologically even now. There must be a way to pirate it, hopefully, and I recommend it for Korra fans. Otherwise, there's a 37-minute video that stitches the cutscenes together with short bridging gameplay snippets that I'd recommend. Either way, don't miss it!

I WANT TO DO SO MUCH MORE STUFF FOR HALLOWEENā But for right now, please enjoy this drawing of my silly little hologram bby Eerie with a pumpkin bucket. šAnd an introduction since I havenāt ever shared them here DKCJDDJSKJSX
Eeriemith š»ā”ļøalso known in my brain as spooky ghost woo woo, is a Blosc fan villian inspired by holograms, ghosts (Luigiās Mansion specifically), the Virus from Scooby Doo Virus Chase, the sentiment of the ghost in the machine and the musical instrament the Theremin (check it out itās super cool!)
Eeriemith is corrupt data / an old ai software that bounces around using computer system broadcasting communications.
Extremely jealous of new technology, and bearing a grudge of being abandoned by their owner Eerie will go out of itās way to attack, sabotage and possess other forms of technology.
It canāt be attacked directly, as it is in a software state. It can be disabled if the source of itās transmissional state is located and shut down.
Eerie is childish, and goofy often enjoying pulling pranks on unsuspecting space fairers. And shows jealousy towards well maintained and beloved techologic life forms. Eerie doesnāt speak in english but communicates in musical frequencies that other robots can understand but many organics can not. (Theremin woo woo noises!š)
Eerie was originally made with the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon in mind š¤ Since there was a group of baddies in the show based off of classical monsters, eg. Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankensteinās Monster. No ghosties though, so that was definately the motivation for this bby! But I think Eerie would be a fun entity to also exist in the sci-fi universe I have been slowly building up too?
