#bus accident in cg

[littlespacereader]

So I’m only on episode 2 of season 1 of Good Omens but I’m already OBSESSED! So here’s a little fic I whipped up. Disclaimer: I don’t know if this is at all accurate to anything the characters would or wouldn’t do so please keep that in mind when reading. I promise once I’m further along in the show I’ll write a proper fic and open the fandom up for writing prompt request. Anyway please enjoy! 💞

Waking Up In A Bookshop

Caregiver!Aziraphale, Caregiver!Crowley & GN Little!Reader (SFW)

Tw- car accident causes reader to get hurt. It’s minor but I wanted to put it out there just in case!

Tags- Reader gets hurt! (nothing violent, they just pass out), hurt and comfort, accident, diapers, pacifier, stuffie snake, Crowley and Aziraphale become cgs.

Nicknames- kid, kiddo, little one, darling, sweetheart, sweet one, Papa (for Crowley), Dada (for Aziraphale)

Of course I was late! And this would be the second time this week! I rushed down the sidewalk, weaving through the crowds to make it to my job.

I wasn’t my fault! It seemed as though London was working against me. The bus was always late and the walk from the bus stop to the coffee shop is about a 15 minute walk.

But today it seems the universe was out to get me. Even with the bus always being late I still missed it. So I had to take the later bus. Once I got off I knew I had to RUSH.

So here I was…running. The streets of London were packed as always. I tried to maneuver my way through the many people so I could make my job on time for a change. I decided to take a path down a different road which resulted in me waiting at a corner to cross the street.

I anxiously waited for the light to give the pedestrians the right away to cross the street. But it was taking FOREVER! I looked across the street and noticed there were no cars coming. So I decided to go for it and take my chances. I should realize that I shouldn’t gamble with fate like that.

A black car rounds the corner at a record speed. I was half way across the street when it happened. Without any time to react my backpack clips the car, causing me to spin and fly backward onto the payment below.

I hit my head hard against the road. For a moments everything went blurry as my brain and body tried to process what had happened. I stare up at the sky laying on my back in the middle of the road.

Tears start to fall from my eyes as my regression takes hold of me. I hear the car come to a screeching stop and two people get out of the car.

“I told you not to take turns that fast! Look what happened!” One yelled.

“They came out of no where! How is this my fault?! They were jaywalking!” The other argued.

One of them ran over and kneeled next to me on the street. “I’m so terribly sorry! Are you alright? Do you need an ambulance?” I couldn’t even move, my head pounded and my vision was too blurry to even make the man out. I just cried and tried to lift my arm up to him.

“Angel don’t be ridiculous they’re fine-.” The other man stopped mid-sentence when he came over and saw me.

“Tell me, what’s your name sweetheart?” The less harsh one asked as he took my hand in his.

“…Y/N…” I tried to say, but I’m not even sure if it came out that way or not. My head and my body couldn’t take the pain. My eyes started to close and I started to slip into unconsciousness.

“Hey, hey, hey! Stay with us darling, don’t close your eyes.” The first man said with a voice layered in worrying. But it hard trying to stay awake. I kept fading in and out.

The second man kneeled beside me. I felt my head being lifted up. “No blood, cuts or bump yet but they might have a concussion or worst.” My head was gently placed back down.

“We have to take them to the bookshop.” The first guy replied.

“What?! Are you crazy? Why would we need to worry ourselves with that? Listen, why don’t we drop them off at the hospital and be on our way.”

“Crowley!!”

“Okay! Okay! Fine! We’ll take the kid home.”

I felt myself being lifted up from the street and into someone’s arms. I whined without even realizing it because I heard the second man…Crowley I think…start to say, “Hey, it’s okay. Easy does it kiddo. I’ve got you.”

I rested my head against him as he carried me over to the very thing that put me into this position, the fancy black car. Crowley gently laid me in the back seat.

He shrugged his jacket off and laid it on me like a blanket on before he sat in the drivers seat and his partner jumped in the front seat.

My eyes opened a little bit to make out the two. One of them had red hair and wore all black and the other had white hair and wore tan. Both of them looked at me worried.

The man with the white hair smiled and caressed my face. “Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of you I promise. Just stay with us okay, I want to see those beautiful eyes.”

I tried to nod but the slightest movement hurt. But he seemed to notice me trying. He smiled back with a warm comforting smile.

As the engine started with a roar and we started to raced down the streets of London, my new found headache returned to me. I watched as my imagine of the two men started to fade more and more into the darkness.

“Y/N? Y/N stay with us…Crowley this is the only time I’m going to say this but, speed up!”

“I’m going as fast as I can. Come on kiddo just a little longer, stay with us.”

“Y/N?” ………..

“Y/N!”………………………..

Then darkness took me as I slipped into unconsciousness.

~~~

The front door the the bookshop swung open. Crowley carried the unconscious Little through the door with a frantic Aziraphale walking behind holding their backpack.

“Hurry upstairs. I want to put ice on their head right away.” Aziraphale ushered.

“Angel they’re not dying, they’re just hurt.” Crowley tried to say, more for himself than to Aziraphale. Not that he would admit it.

“Regardless I want to get them in our bed and rested.”

“Our bed?!” Crowley whined.

“You hit them with the Bentley!!” Aziraphale reminded him.

“Yeah, you’re right. Right….” Crowley sighed at the reminder of his guilt.

The two quickly went upstairs with the Little. Aziraphale dashed into the kitchen, dropping their backpack on the table while rushing around to grab the first aid kit and some ice packs.

Crowley brought the Little into their bed room and gently laid them down on the bed. But that’s when he noticed something.

“Angel…come here for a moment.” He softly called for the angel.

“What ever is the matter Crowley?” He asked walking into the room, arms full of ice packs and bandages.

But just as Crowley froze, Aziraphale froze as well. But for Aziraphale it was just for a moment. He immediately got to work. “It seems as though the little one had a small accident. Nothing we can’t take care of.”

“They had an accident,” Crowley repeated, “You know that means they’re on the younger side of things.”

“To begin with, you hit them with the car so I can imagine the trauma of it all threw them into their headspace, which happens to be younger.” Aziraphale started to say.

“Will you stop reminding me!” Crowley yelled only for Aziraphale to shush him.

“And secondly the accident is easy to take care of see,” With the snap of his fingers Y/N’s pants became magically dry thanks to a small miracle. “There, it’s as if it hasn’t happened.”

Crowley was next to snap his figures, this time twice making two miracles. Aziraphale looked over at Crowley who looked at the Little, still laced with guilt.

“I just gave them a diaper…you know, just incase. Plus a gift from me after hurting them.” Under Y/N’s arm was now a stuffed animal snake tucked in securely.

Aziraphale smiled at Crowley’s generosity. “I’m sure they’ll love it. Now, let’s let them rest a bit while you help me with the bandaged and ice packs.”

The two spent the rest of the morning tending for the Little. Making sure that when they woke up they would be alright and safe in their apartment above the bookshop.

Aziraphale sat on one side and Crowley sat on the other side of the bed, both looking at the unconscious Little who was now all bandaged and ice up.

“Perhaps we should look for their wallet.”

“Angel is this really the best time to be robbing them?”

“Crowley! We’re not robbing them! I just thought we better check if they have a Caregiver. They better notify them of what’s happened.”

“Oh. Right.” Crowley nodded.

The two went off to the kitchen leaving the Little while they spelt. Over on the table sat their backpack. While Aziraphale would’ve had a softer, more gentle approach to finding the wallet inside the backpack, Crowley just picked and dumped all the contents onto the table.

Aziraphale sighed and started to sort through everything. He grabbed their wallet and then their Little emergency card.

“Ah! Well you were right, they’re definitely younger headspace wise. And it says oh….” Aziraphale stopped, his face turning sad.

“What’s wrong?”

“They don’t have a Caregiver. There’s nothing but info about them. No caregiver listed.”

Crowley took the card and looked it over. “How could they not have a Caregiver? They’re too young to be without one. What if something happened?”

Aziraphale raised an eye brown, “Something did happen.” He sighed and started to think. But in that moment something struck him. “Wait.” He looked back up at Crowley. “What if this is all meant to be?”

“What do you mean?” Crowley lifted his head up to look at the Angel.

“Y/N! Maybe they were meant to get hit by the Bentley! Tell me, how long have you and I been searching for a Little of our own?”

“Oh well…let’s see…”

“It’s been years! But we never had the time to actually sit down and find the right one. Well…” he gestured towards the bedroom. “We found them!”

“Angel…you can’t be serious.” Crowley rolled his eyes.

“Who knows? Maybe this is all a part of the grand plan of things?”

“So I was supposed to hit them with the Bentley as sort of this grand plan by the higher ups to give us a Little…I’m understanding this right?” Crowley put his hands on his hips. Looking at Aziraphale all sassy like.

“I mean naturally we’d have to ask them but I’m sure that they’re our Little. Look, all I known is I don’t care about anyone as much as I do you. But they bring out a new sort of feeling in me. I’m worried for someone other than you. I’ve just wanted to care for them ever since the moment we first saw them. So it must be true! I mean don’t tell you haven’t felt the slightest bit nurturing with them? Making sure they’re comfortable, putting an ice pack on their head?” Aziraphale looked at Crowley, already knowing the answer to his question.

“I might have,” Crowley said as nonchalantly as he could. He took a seat at the table. “I just…I just don’t want to get my hopes up incase it’s doesn’t work out.” It was an honest and sincere response. He never took rejection well.

“I’m going to grab a book then sit and keep an eye on the little one. Could you put the kettle on for us?” Aziraphale asked and Crowley nodded. With that Aziraphale disappeared downstairs to the bookstore.

Crowley paused and watched his partner go. With a sigh he walked over and put the kettle on for the two of them.

After he planted himself back at the table, looking through all Y/N’s belongings noisily. He picked up a plain pacifier and even plainer diaper. Oh no, if they were his Little, he would have to get them some supplies with the cutest designs and colors. He smiled to himself, he would spoil his Little rotten.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the kettle going of behind him. He jumped out of his seat and went off to make Aziraphale his cup of tea.

Aziraphale returned, book in hand. He knew just what he was looking for, “How to Care for A Young Little, A Caregiver’s Guide.” He might as well start to get familiar…it never hurt. Taking his tea cup from Crowley, he made his way to the bedroom to watch over the little one while they rested.

~~~

The first thing I realize was I was no longer on the street. Memories came back in bits and pieces but what came through the most was the pain. Oh right, I was hit by a car.

I whined and squeezed my eyes closed. Just as I gave away I was awake a soft voice spoke to me and took my hand in theirs. “Easy there sweet one, you’ve had quite a troubling day. Open your eyes at your own speed, don’t force yourself.”

Taking his advice I slowly started to open my eyes. Slowly I started to see the person with the sweet and comforting voice. His face started out looking blurry at first but eventually I could see him clearly.

“There you are darling. How are you feeling?” The man with white hair ask me. He rubbed small circles on my hand to comfort me.

Before I answered back I took in myself and where I was. I was in a very comfortable bed wrapped in the softest blankets. I could feel a bandage on my head and a bandaid on my hands. The room was cozy and warm, smelling like old books and tea.

He looked at me with a small smiled filled with concerned. “Hurts.” I told him, squeezing his hands in mine. My little side couldn’t articulate all these big thoughts properly.

“Aww, I’m sure it does hurt. But the ice pack should start to help the pain go away. You’re okay darling. Just a little bump on the head but nothing serious. You’re very brave.” He pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the tears from my eyes.

“Brave?”

“Oh yes very brave.” He smiled back.

“What’s…what’s your name?” I asked the sweet man.

“My name is Aziraphale and my partner with the red hair is Crowley.”

“Az…Azraph…”

“I know it’s a bit of a mouth full.” He laughed.

“Aziraphale.” I said more confidently.

“That’s it! Wonderful darling!” He praised.

And for the first time that day I smiled. Aziraphale was treating me so kind for someone who hit me with their car. Wait…wasn’t there someone else? Aziraphale wasn’t the drive…Crowley….he was the driver…

Like clockwork the other person knocked at the door. Aziraphale turned towards it, “You can come in Crowley. They’re awake.”

Soon the door opened and in came the second guy. Now I remember him! He was driving the car and he had the really red hair. He looked guilty as he took me in.

“Hey kiddo. How you feeling?”

“Head hurts.” I lifted my hand to feel my bandages but Aziraphale stopped me.

“No, no darling. Keep them on. They’re to keep the ice pack on your head.”

I sighed and put my hand back down in my lap. That’s when I noticed the new stuffed animal. “A snake!” I lifted it up and admired it.

“Yes, I thought you might like a gift for everything you’ve been through.” Crowley took a seat on the other side of the bed.

“I love it! The colors are so pretty!!” It was red with black stripes. And it was soooooo soft.

“I’m happy you do.” Crowley smiled. He picked up the snake and made it slide up and down my leg. Then he had it pretend to attack my hand. I couldn’t help but giggle every time he did it.

He handed me back the snake before he spoke again, “I want to apologize though. I’m so sorry you got hurt. It was never my intention.”

I lifted my eyes and looked at Crowley sincerely. “It’s okay. I should’ve waited and not just walk across the street. But I accept your apology.”

I could instantly see Crowley start to relax a bit. “Thank you kiddo.”

“Y/N we happened to notice your ID card says you don’t have a Caregiver, is that right?” Aziraphale asked.

I nodded my head. “Yeah…” I looked down, a bit saddened. “I’m fine on my own though.”

“You’re are a bit young, kiddo. I don’t want to think of someone as young as you being on their own.” Crowley added.

“Why I bring this up is…well, Crowley and I are Cargivers. Now you don’t have to accept right now or make any sort of decisions, especially with your head injury, but if you’ll allow us, we’d like to take care of you. Then after you feel better if you’d like we could become your Caregivers.” Aziraphale explained.

The two looked over at me eagerly but was honestly too in shock to say anything at the moment. The two guys who hit me with their car want me to be their Little? But they both seemed so nice and they’ve taken such good care of me when they could’ve easily left me there.

“Yeah, I’d like that.” I smiled at the two.

And they smiled back. Aziraphale squeezed one of my hands while Crowley took the other. Little did I know this was just the beginning of something beautiful!

~~~

My old job fired me but I got hired to work at a bookstore…Aziraphale’s bookstore! I arrive there every morning perfectly on time! I help him rearrange the books, work the cash register and take inventory.

Then after a long day I regress upstairs in the apartment with my two Caregivers safely by my side.

Crowley, who at first was a bit unsure how good of a Caregiver he would be, soon feel into the rhythm of it fairly quickly. He was a big troublemaker like myself! But he also loved to play any game I came up with including dress up!

Aziraphale has a gentle touch, always looking to make sure I’m comfortable. He a huge cuddle bug and loves to sit with me on his lap while reading a book to me.

Today Crowley picked me up and threw me over his shoulder when he arrived home. “There you are! Thought you could hide from Papa? Huh?”

Aziraphale just laughs and shakes his head at the sight of the two playing together in the living room. Once Crowley put me down I took off towards him, hiding behind him from Crowley. “Protect me Dada!” I hold onto him tightly.

“Always my dear! Back demon! Stay away from my baby.” Aziraphale laughed to himself, the nickname demon making him chuckle. Their baby doesn’t know the truth about the two of them and for now that’s quite okay.

Crowley rolls his eyes to the comment, “Don’t you mean our baby?”

Aziraphale picked me up and smiled at Crowley, “You’re right, our sweet little one.” Aziraphale pulled Crowley into a group hug with me. Crowley smirked and wrapped his arms around the two of us.

The three of us hug. Once and for all a family of our own. Suddenly the apartment didn’t feel like an apartment but a home filled with giggles, smiles and love.

regressor!pinkie x cg!twilight hcs

pinkie would probably be a super hyper toddler that always seems to be on a sugar rush or a really playful kiddo

takes advantage of twilight's magic, always asks her to just poof! her some candy or balloons

goes on play dates with regressor!rainbow dash, they always find a way to make trouble

"b-bu' mama,, was rainbow idea!" "WAS NOTT!! >:("

twilight is the QUEEN of baby talk

whenever pinkie has an accident and gets hurt when roughhousing with rainbow, twilight rushes to her side, gently saying "oh, honeybun, what happened? let me see, cupcake.." all while rainbow is also crying, just worried she hurt her friend

if pinkie has sweets before bed she throws TANTRUMS at bedtime..like screaming heard all throughout ponyville tantrums

pinkie always plays with spike, no matter what. they are best friends

definitely considering writing a fanfic about this

padded medic, embarrassed from an accident (because he's supposed to be a big doctor!) but getting assured that it's okay by cg heavy?

Medic whined. He was a big doctor, he wasn't supposed to have an accident! Heavy just patted his shoulder.

"Accidents happen."

"Bu...big doctor..." Medic whined.

"Not big doctor always." Heavy took his hand and led him to his bedroom. Medic was thankful that his coat was unscathed and used it to cover his accident. Once in his room, Heavy helped him out of his dirty clothes.

"Baby should wear diaper." Heavy said as he held one up. Medic whined again.

"Please?" Heavy asked. Medic pouted but nodded. Heavy put it on him before putting him in a onesie.

"There! One little baby!" Heavy cradled him in his arms. Medic continued to pout.

"What is wrong?"

"No' 'possed ta..." Medic whined.

"It is alright. It is an accident for a reason." Heavy put Medic's pacifier in his mouth. Medic calmed down a little after that.

"You do not need to be big doctor all the time." Medic nodded. Being a little baby sounded nice right now.

Don't know if it has been asked before, but who would be willing to the aspect of marriage and maybe growing a family(cause we all know children come from trees....i mean isn't it obvious)?

Hello anon #41, this silly ask reminded me of a silly song! I used to listen to it on the bus when I had a hour long commute which I'll start again soon! I'll link it after, HOWEVER, I guess someone has to answer your question rolling eye emojis...

"Oh man, this is a doozy of a question and hard to go into depth in some places for reasons of spoilers. I also haven't thought much about the cast's feelings on marriage and so on, since I've been focusing on like… foundational relationship stuff and how they approach flirting/dating. I'll give some impressions, but they're vague.

Mal - It's Complicated. Wil - indifferent to marriage, not-against-family-in-principle-but-we're-criminals Kay - maybe to both? There are hangups. Teddie - he'd probably never think about marriage independently but if it was brought up I think it'd grow on him. Would doubt his own ability to parent. Alistair - yes to both. irritatingly responsible about both.

CG - It's Complicated.

Bonus round cause I dunno the angst gremlin is making a ruckus up in my head.

Beth - Yes and unbelievably flustered about both. Mama bear. Prii - Spends every waking moment on wedding planning. "Parenting always sounded way too scary. But with you I'm not so afraid." Shauna - Crazy excited about getting married. Cries throughout the ceremony. Nervous beyond belief about being a parent, great at it when she isn't doubting herself and wondering if the kid crying/throwing a tantrum makes her an awful mom. Grant - "Hey wouldn't it be funny if we got married, haha" (has been plotting this proposal for weeks). Probably wouldn't set out to be a parent, but not gonna lie there's a non-zero chance of something happening by accident in a relationship where that's a possibility. A fun, permissive dad but a worryingly irresponsible one."

(angels) imagine if it happens another time that they're naughty like we caught them red handed again bc aus and e just knocked their bowls of baby rice cereal on the cg head when they're bending to pick up something and would just throw their bottles, etc.

we be like "boys! again?" and we apologize to the babysitter and they just complain and somehow they talk to the press and we're reading the papers the next morning and we just sigh bc they're now acting cranky towards us

I got distracted, anyway back to angels! They'd definitely try to make their naughtiness look like an accident but once Aus sees we've caught them again, he remembers how sad and guilty he felt and he's like "Elvis made me do it mama!" and totally throws him under the bus. Oh god, we hate bad press but what are you gonna do, you're always gonna find SOMEONE who's gonna find fault in you

Zi-O 25 and 26: Oh boy is this arc a doozy!

So, over in Black Woz’s Storytime vault? That clock just advanced again.

Regulus is unseasonably bright… it’s early. Just like the Dai Mazines.

The Day of Oma is drawing near… and it seems to be closer than it would have been if the timeline wasn’t being mucked around with.

Hn. We closed the last episode with Swartz pulling out the Another Zi-O watch. And now we have… Another OOO? What are you doing here?

And why are you recreating the Another Build watch from that poor, abused, basketball player?

And using it?

And becoming Another Build?

… So Another Zi-O is, by his nature of being an Another Rider, a bootleg. Meaning he’s ripping off Zi-O’s ability to copy other riders powers.

… It’s a good thing that Tsukasa made his own watch somehow, because if we had to deal with an Another Decade? That would be a nightmare. (Will be a nightmare? There’s no saying what this season’s going to do.)

Black Woz: “Okay, I thought we’d be better off with Geiz and Tsukuyomi being around you, but I just realized that it means I have to actually let you know things are going down, without being cagey about it, so. Whoops.”

We cut to the apartment where the former Another Ex-Aid lives. In an eerie synchronicity with his initial creation, he’s being wheeled into an ambulance, as unconscious as the former Another Build.

‘Another Build’ is defeated, revealing ‘Another Ex-Aid’, and Black Woz realizes that they can’t win this right now.

Whoever this man is, the one who was just Another Build/Ex-Aid? Well, aside from presumably really being Another Zi-O, he also seems to know Sougo. By his full name. No, that’s not ominous at all.

!!! We’ve finally got a location for where those stairs from Episodes 2 and 21 are! They lead down from a shrine, which appears to be where Geiz and Tsukuyomi are currently staying. And apparently there’s an Another Woz? I think you messed up your translation there, O-T. I think that you might have meant ‘Another OOO’.

(Yeah, that’s an error on O-T’s part. I’m starting to use their MKVs at this point, instead of the 720’s, so they didn’t catch that until after that was encoded.)

Geiz goes to stop the casualties from piling up, but Tsukuyomi doesn’t seem to think that he’ll be able to do what he has to if he encounters Sougo. Doesn’t think that he’ll be able to defeat Zi-O. She says that, specifically: he’d encounter Sougo, but have to defeat Zi-O.

And I’ve noticed that Geiz still hasn’t used Sougo’s name… even in the last arc, he sort of just… dodged referring to Sougo by any name.

That is some poor green-screening to put Sougo against the night sky, there. Granted, it’s one of his dream sequences, so that doesn’t help matters.

A dream sequence with Regulus shining brightly overhead, as Zi-O II has a very one-sided fight against Rider!Geiz.

(Have we found where our ‘into the drink’ battle is going to take place?)

Sougo’s not wrong when he says that the fight was ‘peaceful’, though, is he? It seemed a little more like they were putting on an act than, say, whatever The Day of Oma is actually supposed to be.

Although, the first thing it reminded me of was the Eiji vs Ankh fight towards the end of OOO… remember? When Eiji was quickly losing himself to PuToTyra, and Ankh, in one of his rare Full Greeed appearances, was essentially trying to bring him back?

A purple rider, at risk of becoming his own enemy, fighting a red ally-of-convenience turned friend, huh?

… D’ya think they were trying to get at least some people to draw that apparel – er, parallel, by using Another OOO specifically as the first copy to show up in the episode?

Ohhh. Another Fourze/Faiz is working at an observatory now. That’s so fitting… especially since it lets us know that other people are noticing the strange happenings in the night sky. And that Another Riders don’t remember being Another Riders, either, much like the Real Riders.

(Which I’m still basically praying isn’t actually true, mind you, but regardless. Not actually the topic at hand. Yet.)

Man, the CG in this episode so far is not good! There’s the blatant haloing around Sougo in that dream sequence, around Geiz in his transformation here, and base form Zi-O was painfully obviously CG when he was putting on the Build Armor earlier.

Sougo: “Geiz, wait, the finisher won’t work, he’s not actually-”

Geiz: “Shut up and give me the watch!”

Poor communication gets people knocked out of their transformations.

White Woz’s attacks are as brutal as ever – including somehow using Kikai’s powers to make satellite dishes fire lasers at ‘Another Ex-Aid.’ His battle theme does not help in the slightest. It’s creepy and ominous and I always get nervous when it plays.

Kakogawa Hiryuu. He definitely knows Sougo from somewhere, but the question is where?

Or, maybe that’s not the question. Because while he says that he and Sougo are fated to cross paths over and over… Sougo doesn’t recognize him.

Sougo doesn’t seem to be able to keep Hiryuu, as a person, in his mind as soon as he leaves the area.

Not if his reaction when Geiz asks if Sougo knows who he is is any indication.

“Uh, who?”

Hm. The Geiz Revive form is designed to defeat ‘the overlord.’ It won’t awaken unless Geiz shows the will to do that.

…Can that refer to just ‘defeat Oma Zi-O, the evil ruler’, or does it have to refer to ‘defeat Kamen Rider Zi-O, civilian alias Tokiwa Sougo’?

Aw, Another Wizard is performing magic still, in the fixed timeline! Good for him! I mean, less good than usual, since Hiryuu’s on his way, but still!

GASP.

Uncle Junichiro Tokiwa is going to tell us the forbidden Sougo Backstory!

(I’m so pumped about this I actually bothered to look up his name for once.)

Sougo’s been living with his uncle for ten years, since 2009. His parents are ‘no longer with us.’

The piano version of Over Quartzer just started up again.

At the magic restaurant, Sougo admits that he’s kind of looking forward to the Another Rider appearing, because he might get to see Geiz and Tsukuyomi again. He’s lonely, and he knows that’s an awful way to think. Black Woz is encouraging of thinking that way though.

Sougo is the only one on his own side. Everyone else has an agenda for or against him.

There was a bus accident in 2009, and the newspaper article that Tsukuyomi pulls up mentions something about ‘unknown number of families’ being missing. Sougo and Hiryuu were the survivors. Going into a quick ‘camera based google translate’ look at the article… Looks like there was a large bus fire, something about a tunnel, black smoke obscuring everything, geez, this is brutal.

The piano version of Over Quartzer stopped when the shot changed from ‘Geiz and Tsukuyomi talking’ to a shot showing the article.

Oooh, the ‘tense atmosphere’ music noticeably cut out immediately after White Woz asked Geiz what they were going to do. With a discordant beat and everything. There was a silent shot of Geiz, and then the scene changed to Sougo and Black Woz in the restaurant.

Welp, Hiryuu’s after Another Wizard, and might have gotten his powers? Or at least a portion of them. He seems disappointed, but not surprised that Sougo doesn’t remember him. He’s already got Another Gaim, as well.

So that accounts for Build, Ex-Aid, Faiz, Wizard, OOO, and Gaim. Notably, we only saw the Faiz watch appear, not Fourze. That leaves Fourze (maybe), Ghost, and Ryuga completely unaccounted for. ...Ryuga’s a bit tricky, sir, I don’t think that’s a ‘remnant of power’ that you’ll be able to get your hands on.

Toei: “Look, we had to cut down the budget for the transformations this week, since we’ve had just SO MANY in this one episode.”

(AKA, the Woz and Geiz transformations are both poorly greenscreened.)

OKAY THEN. The Quiz finisher failed explosively, leading to ‘Another Gaim’… dissolving into four black, smoky, parka ghosts, which fuse into ‘Another Ghost’. So that leaves Fourze and Ryuga… and possibly the three future riders, but I can’t be sure there.

I still really like Another Ghost’s appearance.

OOF. ‘Another Ghost’ became… well, Another Zi-O by placing his personal Another Watch near where Ghost’s driver would have read an Eyecon… at which point he becomes Another Zi-O, with a barely corrupted version of the Ziku Driver. His watch is still visible. Just like Actual Zi-O’s.

The teeth are creepy, as is the fact his face looks like it’s showing muscles. But what’s most unsettling is that I don’t see the lenses/dials/gadgety bits that, thus far, each and every single Another Rider has had as eyes.

He’s the closest we’ve had to the real thing, actually. And, true to the Zi-O design labeling everything? He’s got 2019 written three times. One on his right eye, one in the center of his chest, and one on his belt. You know, where the real Zi-O has it. (The name Zi-O is on his right eye, for the record.)

Heure sees the two Zi-O’s about to face off… and seems to be booking it the heck out of there. Don’t blame ya, kid, run! Before Swartz and Hora use you again!

Nope, wait, never mind, he’s running straight to them. (Please develop some self preservation instincts. You may be a slightly sadistic little punk, but I’d prefer you not have to die.)

Ohhh. That ‘getting the others out of the ring’ theory I had for Swartz’s motive wasn’t quite right, but the ‘choosing the new king’ motive he gave wasn’t quite true, either.

It looks like he’s long since picked his horse for the race – Kakogawa Hiryuu, alias Another Zi-O, alias “The one to unite all Another Riders.”

He can’t take powers that didn’t exist, after all. What better way to create a Dark counter to someone who uses his predecessors powers… than to make someone who does the exact same thing?

Heure and Hora didn’t know that was the plan.

Geez, Another Zi-O has the ‘label ALL the things’ aesthetic down to a tee. ‘2019’ is on his left shoulder blade, and ‘Zi-O’ is on his right. And the year is on his forehead, where for Zi-O it has ‘Kamen.’

And, uh, Sougo, buddy. I don’t think you’ve thought through this ‘I can see your future’ announcement? I mean, nobody else has been able to do the same before now, but maybe don’t let people know you’re predicting their movements? Just as a general rule?

Especially when they’re copping your skillset?

But! As a bit of fodder for ‘power copying doesn’t actually work the way they’ve been told’?

We have Another Zi-O right here, and Regular Zi-O isn’t having any of the issues that Build, Cross-z, and Ex-Aid did with regards to sparking and losing their transformation while fighting their duplicates.

Oooh, but we do have it happening to his watch in the closing screen. It goes from Ex-Aid and Geiz on the sides, and Zi-O in the center… to the glitching effect of a rider losing their powers happening to the Zi-O watch, replacing it with the Another Zi-O version.

SPOOKY.

… ON TO EPISODE 26!!!

...Black Woz? Why do you have a copy of the Orange Geiz Revive armor in your storytime vault? (The clock continues advancing visibly)

Oh. Wow. Sougo got knocked out of his transformation. By a copy of his own finisher, and the person who dealt it is nowhere to be found.

White Woz continues to be awful… “The Revive watch not activating is all the proof I need that you’ve lost the will to fight. You’d better hurry and find it… how else could you face Tsukuyomi again?”

(The OP still refuses to give music spoilers, but I get the feeling I’m going to be hearing “Future Soldier” toward the end of this episode.)

(Spoiler alert from 8:30 am Sam to 7 am Sam: You did not get to hear “Future Soldier.”)

Hm. While Sougo’s propped himself up on the lamppost, incredibly passed out, he has the ‘premonition’ of that fight on the beach again. It seems like more of an actual fight this time… but the biggest difference is that the first time hew as there, the sky was crystal clear. This time, there’s a thin cloud cover forming over the stars… including Regulus.

The Time Jackers are watching while Tsukuyomi heads to April 24, 2009. But, um, completely off topic question… Are those three just, like, renting a penthouse apartment? Because I’m starting to get the impression they live there, with the chairs and such on this roof, and Hora and Swartz relaxing inside last episode.

See? SEE?! Heure’s with me! Swartz hasn’t told them everything. Maybe hasn’t told them anything.

He has a whole other motive here… but what is it?

(History is told by the winners, and nobody has won yet.)

But why does Black Woz recognize Hiryuu’s name?

OH NO, IT’S BABBY SOUGO IN DINOSAUR PAJAMAS.

Oh… Jeez, the bus accident happened literally days before his 9th birthday. The accident is April 24th, and he was born April 28th. (Thanks, episode one! Now we have ~two~ main Neo-Heisei riders with exact canonical birthdays!)

Oh, this is incredibly painful to watch. Junichiro said he’d take Sougo in pretty much immediately, and Sougo came out of that accident a lot better off than Hiryuu did.

(Yeah, fine, Uncle Junichiro’s earned his name. I still don’t entirely trust him, but I’ll start using his name.)

The Piano version of Over Quartzer starts up when 8!Sougo says his parents are dead… and Hiryuu’s looking out his hospital room at the whole conversation. The part that would be the lyrics kicks in when the nurse starts talking to a fuming Hiyruu. It continues through to when Geiz and Tusukyomi hang up the phone from updating each other.

I just like that Tsukuyomi parked her Time Mazine in a regular garage. That’s just one of those little touches that’s really cute.

On the less cute, more worrying side… we didn’t see her reactions to Geiz saying he couldn’t use the Geiz Revive watch.

Geiz, justifiably, doesn’t tell the clearly anxious, clearly scared Heure where Tsukuyomi went. That’s fair – Hora played everyone like a fiddle just last arc… including Heure.

I really do think that Heure wants out… but I was thinking the same about Hora, so, maybe he doesn’t? But I don’t think he’s nearly as good of a liar as she is, so this is more likely to be real concern. Heure doesn’t know all of the details, but he wants to.

He’s sick of all of the misdirection.

Ohhh. Hayase quite Magic Cafe Aqua, and went to go see Magic House… the theatre he used to work at. The one he became Another Wizard to save. And now he’s starting to remember his days as Another Wizard.

(Also, it’s really sad to see this place abandoned like it is now.)

Another Wizard… is now accounted for.

Okay, so Hiryuu is flat out planning to kill Sougo. That’s… ‘nice.’ Even ‘nicer’ is his reason.

They were both on the bus – apparently a field trip, judging by the number of small children in the other seats. They were sitting near each other. “A woman in white shouted his name, and pulled the trigger.” The visuals are a Faiz Phone X, a white sleeve, and Tsukuyomi’s voice shouting ‘Sougo’. The hand holding the phone has nail polish, though… does Tsukuyomi wear nail polish? It’s a dark color…

Him telling Sougo about this is intercut with Geiz traveling to 2009. “What if it wasn’t an accident?”

What if it was a pre-emptive assassination attempt?

He’s no stranger to those, after all.

Geiz pulls up along the wildy swerving bus… and Tsukuyomi is on it. Holding a Faiz Phone X, yelling Sougo’s name… and pulling the trigger. The back corner of the bus is on fire as it enters the tunnel.

… Geiz doesn’t catch up before the bus seemingly hits the wall and explodes.

… there were two survivors of the bus accident. Two eight-year-old boys.

There was no mention in the article of an 18-year-old woman.

I think we’ve just found Geiz’s driving force to use Geiz Revive.

How does he interrupt the Zi-O vs Zi-O battle? A flying punch to Another Zi-O’s shoulder. Which stops him from attacking a downed (albeit still transformed) Zi-O II. But this is while Geiz isn’t transformed.

That punch had the ‘superpower force’ effect, too. The one that we usually only see when the two boys are suited up… or that one time, after Quiz, when they were finally explaining exactly (approximately) what the Day of Oma is, with the chess metaphor.

Oooh, those studded shoulderpads left Geiz’s knuckles bloody. Ick.

A Woz is a Woz, and they both just love to soliloquize their announcements. IWAE.

Geiz Revive Fury is scary. A tranquil rage, and he just used a buzzsaw (!) to punch Another Zi-O through at least four (!!) stacks of construction materials – the heavy cement kind. (!!!)

Swartz gets his candidate out of the way of another blast from that buzzsaw. “We’ll see you on the Day of Oma.”

So now, it’s Geiz Revive versus Zi-O II.

Geiz: “I’m going to beat you. That’s the future we’re heading towards.”

Sougo: “...Okay.”

Geiz Revive Fury is the Mighty Glacier trope in action – High offense, High defense, low speed.

Geiz Revive Typhoon, on the other hand… High offense, ludicrous speed, and I can’t tell what his defense is, but it doesn’t really matter if you can’t see him long enough to hit him. Could be Fragile Speedster meets Glass Cannon, or it could be Lighting Bruiser, but without knowing how well Typhoon can take a hit, I can’t say.

So, while Sougo’s getting his ass handed to him by a rapidly form-switching Geiz, Black Woz is off investigating the accident… by having sent everyone in the bus companies office to dreamland, so he can get into their records.

Clever. I like it.

Casual reminder that the Wizard arc told us that Woz has a Faiz Phone X as well… and. Wait. Those things are a stun gun. They knock people out. When Tsukuyomi was using hers to stop Another Build’s attacks, it paused them. But the first time we saw her use it?

Was against Ryuuga, Sento, and Sougo in Cafe nascita. As a knock-out gun. They all fell asleep.

Unless that thing has other settings that we haven’t seen… it shouldn’t be able to blow up the end of a bus.

That news article… looking again, the google translation isn’t great, but I think it’s trying to say that the two kids were the only ones who were found.

Why do I mention that? Because Woz goes straight to the passenger list. Kakogawa Hiryuu and his parents are there, as expected… and… Well then. So is one Kadoya Tsukasa.

2009 was his year, too, after all.

And how exactly does he travel between worlds? He makes his own portals, which look like walls.

After all, nobody could see anything through the smoke covering the tunnel, including Geiz and the television audience at home.

Decade, you tricky little bastard.

… I’m just going to stick this little snippet from a potential fic in here, since it seems to have just become incredibly relevant.

“The kid’s stealing my whole gimmick. He’s basically ripping off my ability to copy people, and I just had to give him the ability to copy me copying other people. It’s absurd, and I’m basically stuck playing the bad guy again.”

 Amos 3:6

Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

  NEW- Gave a little bit of my background helping the guys on the streets- and how corruption does indeed affect them. Times where they did deals with people in power- and later made them think the whole system is rigged.

Often times people in power justify taking kickbacks- doing favors for their friends. But in the end- it contributes to the crime rate on the street- it effects your families and friends. It makes those who are living open lives of crime think it’s ok- after all- they made deals with those who are in law enforcement- or those who are supposed to be upholding the law.

 So corruption in a city has long term after effects- it’s not simply about those in power- it’s about the common man as well.

I mentioned the Trump thing- not to be a defender of Trump- but to show how our bias effects us.

Any normal news watcher could see that basically Trump was right. It’s very rare for an opposing party- during a Campaign- to tap into any phone calls of the other presidential candidate.

 I realize why this was done [investigating Manafort] but in reality- it is rare- and questionable.

The media- and Clapper denied it- and in actuality- it happened. My liberal friends will find ways to say ‘it didn’t happen’. And when it happens on the other side- yes they too will make the story fit their bias.

 I’m not a big defender of Trump- I don’t think he should have called the leader of North Korea ‘Rocket man’.

But when I talk about stuff like this- it’s to try and show you that at times- yes- the media is indeed FAKE NEWS.

 On the 2nd video I talked about not finding the blogger Homer Villareal. He’s the one who published the local paper ‘Eldefenzor’.

It’s possible he passed away.

 Either way- I’m glad I still covered the issue- because it relates- on a local scale- to the whole corruption issue. And for those who watch the videos- you see why stuff like that upsets me.

So that's it for today- I already have another regular teaching post for tomorrow- I should be posting that in the morning-

God bless all-

 Oh- I was going to see my friends on the street later in the day- as I stopped for gas I ran into Mike- my friend [who made the painting for me].

So I spent a few hours with Mike- we had good fellowship- and I might ask him to do another painting for me- if so- I’ll try and always make it fit some some type of event- something like we did with the Harvey ‘event’.

 (774)JUDGES 5-6  Deborah sings a victors song in chapter 5. I only want to mention one verse, she says ‘the mountains melted before you, even Sinai’. In the beginning of Judges I skipped the part where Judah defeats Jerusalem. This wording sounds strange in a way! Jerusalem of course was inhabited by the Jebusites and Judah took it. Sinai represents the law and Moses, grace and truth come from Jesus. I simply felt these ideas to be prophetic, speaking of a time in the future [Now, the New Covenant] where these natural identities will bow before the King! ‘The law came thru Moses [Sinai] but grace and truth came from Jesus Christ’. In chapter 6 we see one of the famous stories of a judge, Gideon. At this time in Israel’s history the Midianites were coming up every year during the harvest and wiping them out. It’s not that Israel wasn’t sowing [planting] it’s just they weren’t enjoying the harvest! The enemy left them enough freedom to plant and work the fields, it was just at harvest time when he gave them a hard time. Now Gideon is threshing wheat at ‘the winepress’ which is basically a hole in the ground. You can’t really thresh wheat in a cave! You need a ‘thresingfloor’, an open area where you can throw the wheat in the air and let the wind blow the chaff away. But all the children of Israel were doing this in secret spots to hide from the Midianites. So once again the people call out to God and he does it a little different this time. He sends them a Prophet first who says to them ‘God delivered you from Egypt and bondage, yet you feared the enemy and served false gods’. They were living in fear and permitted idolatry to become part of their worship [covetousness is the New Testament equivalent to idolatry]. Then the Lord sends an angel to Gideon and he tells him ‘you mighty man of valor, God is calling you to lead the people’. Gideon says ‘I come from poverty, I am the least in my family. How can I be the one’? The Lord doesn’t say ‘don’t worry, I will make you rich’ he simply tells Gideon ‘I will go with you’. Jesus used a rag tag team of disciples to turn the world up side down. They would ask ‘how can we feed this multitude, we don’t have the cash’ Jesus was with them! Gideon does this prophetic act and destroys the altar of Baal that was in his city. At night [because he was afraid] he takes 10 guys and they tear it down and erect an altar to God right in the city square. In the morning the men of the city say ‘who in the heck did this’? They are infuriated that someone would disturb the system that they became comfortable with [ouch!] They find out it was Gideon and they go to his house and want to kill him. The dad says ‘hey, if Baal is so offended, then let him do something about it’. Gideon’s dad had a little bit of the Elijah thing going on. Elijah tells the false prophets of Baal ‘where’s Baal? How come he can’t come and consume all this wood? Maybe he’s busy with some other stuff?’ One translation actually says ‘maybe he is on the potty’ these idol destroyers seemed to have no respect for the scared cows of the day. So Baal leaves Gideon alone and Gideon blows the trumpet and sends word to the various tribes. God is raising up Gideon to ‘come upon the enemy as one man’. We will later see the enemy have a dream of Gideon and the people rolling into the enemy’s camp as a Barley loaf. These are prophetic images of the Body of Christ. We are ‘one bread’ so to speak. Notice how the people became accustomed to the altar of Baal in their midst. They were irate that someone came along and shook the apple cart. At first they wanted to kill the guy, but then they recognized [grudgingly!] that Gideon was right. Sometimes the Lord will speak a word into the church that at first seems unbelievable. ‘Who does so and so think he is?’ But if the word is from the Lord, the people will eventually get on board with it and even partake of the benefits from the word. Gideon didn’t turn the troops on the men from his city who wanted to kill him. He simply fulfilled his prophetic destiny and attacked the enemy, not his fellow citizens! He allowed them time to get on the bandwagon, they eventually did.

 JUDGES 7- God calls Gideon to the battle. He rounds up the troops and is ready to storm the enemy. One thing, God says ‘you have too many resources’. What? I thought you were the God of abundance, don’t you want to multiply everything? Well he is the God of abundance, but that doesn’t always mean ‘more is better’. So God instructs Gideon to simply say ‘we have too many people, so whoever is afraid can go home’. 22 thousand walk out. Ouch! I think Gideon would have snuck out with the crowd too if he wasn’t the Pastor. So they have 10 thousand left. Gideon brings them to the water and God shrinks the group down to 300. So Gideon is supposed to defeat the Midianites and Amalekites and some others with 300 men. He feels ill. The Lord tells him to sneak into the enemy camp at night and listen to what they are saying. He sneaks in and hears one of the guys telling a dream how he saw a Barley loaf [a type of the Body of Christ- we are ‘one bread’ who partake of the bread of life] roll into the camp and flatten a tent. The other guy says ‘this is the sword of Gideon, God has delivered us into his hands’. Gideon hears this prophetic word [from the enemy! I guess Gideon didn’t have any prophets on his team?] and stirs the troops up and says ‘here’s the plan’. He lays out a strategy of splitting up into 3 groups of 100 each, and having them hold a lamp in a pot in one hand and a trumpet in the other hand. They go down into the enemy camp and surround the camp. Gideon’s group breaks the pots and blows the trumpets, the others follow. They all shout ‘the sword of the Lord and of Gideon’. This causes fear in the enemy camp. They panic and start turning on each other in order to escape. They pulled a ‘George’ from Seinfeld! George is at this kid’s birthday party and someone burns some food on the stove. They think it’s a fire and George panics and knocks the kids over in his attempt to save himself. He even pushes an old grandma out of the way in the process! So the Midianites pull a George and flee at the expense of their own people. Gideon calls the other tribes to join in on the route and they defeat the enemy. Notice that God didn’t use the 300 to do all the work, they simply were the brave ones who were willing to risk everything for the cause. Ultimately the rest of the nation had to get on board with the program. There are times in church history where God will raise up radical groups who are pursuing hard after God. Initially they will be the igniters of the fire. But for the full purpose of God to prevail others will have to join in. This dynamic has a tendency to cause jealousy in the church. We will see this in the next chapter. Note- The lamps [oil-Spirit] in the clay pots [we are called earthen vessels in Corinthians] represent the Body of Christ. It was in the breaking [repentance, brokenness] of the vessels that allowed the light to shine forth. God used an army of broken light bearers who trumpeted his word to take the enemy. The same idea of the ‘fiery tongues’ on the early church. The fire from their mouths [the preaching of the gospel- Revelation says ‘fire proceeds out of their mouths and devours the enemy’] went forth like a trumpet and took over the entire roman world!

 JUDGES 8- As Gideon routes the enemy, the children of Ephraim got in on it. Were they thankful that Gideon gave them a shot? No. They were mad that he didn’t let them in on it from the start! Gideon appeases their jealousy and says ‘you guys have done more than me. I take no personal glory from this’. Gideon saw his calling as one that would benefit the other ‘tribes’ [denominations]. He knew his purpose was not to start his own tribe! Now as Gideon is pursuing the 2 kings of Midian [Zeba, Zalmunna? In keeping myself honest, I did not just check the spelling] he comes thru 2 cities [Succoth, Penuel?] and asks the men ‘can you help us out? We are pursuing the kings of Midian and the troops need some food’. The men of Succoth say ‘why should we help? We don’t see them in your hands yet’. In essence, they were not sure if Gideon and his personal little ‘vendetta’ was going to prevail. We need to be careful that we don’t judge a prophetic act of God and take things personal. These cities needed to get on board when it counted. Gideon is not going to need their help after the job is done! So he tells them ‘fine, but when I’m done with the job, I will come back and whip your Elders with thorn bushes’. Gideon is treading dangerous territory. He actually is setting his judgment up against the God ordained elders of this city [Romans]. But like the Apostle Paul, his unique calling was unstoppable. They would go against elders or whoever they needed to, in order to complete the mission. So Gideon catches the 2 kings and tells his son ‘fall upon them with the sword’. His son hesitates out of fear. The 2 kings actually rebuke Gideon’s boy and tell him to have courage. Gideon takes the sword and kills the kings. A few interesting notes. The people are so overjoyed with Gideon’s authority that they say ‘Be our king, rule over us as a dynasty’. Gideon refuses and says this would be a rejection of Gods authority. Eventually Saul will become the king that fills this role. Even though God raised up strong authority figures, yet there was a distinction between over doing mans rule and recognizing Gods authority. Paul will teach the concept of God recognized elders in the New Testament church. But will also warn of men wanting to draw away disciples after themselves. Some will fall into the snare of ‘becoming kings’. Also Gideon took all the gold jewelry from the Midianites and made an Ephod [a priestly object] and it became an idol to the people. They fell into the snare of covetousness/idolatry that would become a hallmark of Israel’s rebellion.
