What is Octopath Traveller about? I know I can just Google it but I think it's more fun asking you
Tumblr media
First of all, here's a cool track to have in the background because I don't run the @octopath-traveler-ost blog for nothing:
Both Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 feature 8 Charakters, each one with their own Story, Motivation and Goals. Each Charakters Skills are dependent on their job, which are the same in both games, So every Squad got the Cleric, the Scholar, the Merchant, the Warrior, the Dancer, the Apothecary, the Thief and the Hunter.
Being a classical JRPG, these stories are always one of the best part of both games. Admittedly some are stronger than others, but there never was a story that I didn't like or outright hated.
Also sometimes the range between these stories is so fucking funny. Like in OT2 you got Thronè-"I was born into this criminal Organisation and have been trained into a merciless killing machine by my "father", but I'm sick of this bloodshed and need to get my freedom"-Anguis being in the same party as Agnea-"I want to become famous and put smiles on everyone's faces"-Bristarni and it's great.
Here's another cool track:
Besides the story being great, HOLY SHIT I LOVE THE COMBAT IN THIS GAME!!!
Battles in this game are the classic turn based battles you know and (hopefully) love. OT throws in some cool original ideas to spice it up:
1. Weaknesses
Every Enemy has specific weaknesses and shield points. If you attack one of their weaknesses they lose one shield point, and once all shield points are gone you
2. Break
Them. Once an enemy is broken, All damage done to them will be critical and they won't be able to act for the next round. BUT, in return, after they get out of the break status they get to move first round.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trying to figure out when is the best time to break / not break an enemy is especially important when it comes to boss battles. And don't worry, I WILL gush about how cool the boss battles are later on :)
3. and BOOST
I LOVE the boost system. Holy shit the boost system is awesome. Me and the Boost System will have a wonderful summer marriage.
The way this works is, that at the start of every round each of your party members gets one(1) boost point. You can use these points to power up your attacks, heal more or attack an enemy multiple times. When it comes to the use of these points, always remember the wise words: "Critical Thinking is the Key to success".
Also there's nothing more satisfying than L + Ratio + Defense down + Attack Up + Max Boost Brand's Thunder + 12473 points of damage.
4. Latent Power
this one was added in OT2. Now every character also has a Latent-meter that fills up everytime they get hit or break an enemy. once the meter is full, a character can use their latent power, which differs from charackter to charakter. For example, you can act twice in one round, instantly replenish all of your BP or unlock new abilities!
New Track, because now I get to talk about the boss battles!
Boss Battles function basically the exact same as normal Battles. Each one has weaknesses, you have to try and break them to get all the damage in, e.t.c.
BUT, they have much higher shield points than you averages Monster, can change their weaknesses in the middle of the battle and can often attack up to five times in one round!
Boss Battles are absolutely part where the Break & Boost System shines. You have to figure out what he's weak too and what kind of attacks they have!
The [SPOILER] bosses and especially the [BIGGER SPOILER] Fight really test how well you learned the mechanics of the game, and, by now I'm someone who could beat [SPOILER] or [SPOILER] in my sleep.
Also LOOK AT THESE DESIGNS!!!

I LOVE YOU PIXEL ART! I LOVE YOU OCTOPATH TRAVELER ARTSTYLE! I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT THE ARTSTYLE NOW OK!
And when I say "Talk" I mean I'll show you more pictures:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nevermind, three have to be enough because Tumblr is a little bitch who hates fun.
But still, see this lighting? This atmosphere? I wanna eat those pixels.
Also, last point I promise, the music. There's a reason I keep adding tracks onto this post. Yasunori Nishiki we do not deserve you. My Playlist is 67.3% Octopath Ost and I'm not ashamed to admit that.
Anyways, thank for asking! But, before you think "Wow! These games sound awesome and I should definitely try one of these out! Immediately!", I have to admit that, if you aren't a fan of classic JRPGs then these unfortunately won't be the games for you. But if you like this genre then what are you waiting for????? Get up and buy one of them! Please!
Oh before I forget it, I have one last ost for you :)
Go on.

Future mini-series and one-shot plans ✨️
Tumblr media
I've got a few ideas for one-shots and fics to tide yall over until the smut hits in "Twist of Fate". 👀
I've already got a small, spin off mini-series of ToF called "Strings of Fate" (name pending), a whole bunch of hybrid one-shot series, a Fated/Soulmate one-shot series, a Tropes mini-series, a cam girl one-shot series, an android (based on Detroit become human) one-shot series, a fairy tale one-shot series, possibly a professors one-shot series, possibly a super heroes one-shot series, some possible OT2 (threesomes) and OT3 (foursomes) with not a single idea in mind, and some one-shots regarding the boys' myth 5 star cards!
I'll be explaining them below the cut! 🩷
So yall can let me know which you would like to see first, I'll tell you what I've got so far with each of them! Since I'm, also, completely unsure which I want to work on or if I want to change the idea entirely. Maybe yall will have some thoughts on how I can work the ideas a bit better as well!
I can't say much on the spin-off since it's major spoilers for ToF and, so, I'll probably start it after I get up to 25 or 30 chapters in posting ToF.
Tumblr media
The hybrid ideas though...I have a lot. I got most of these (if not all of these ideas besides the hybrid ones) from my scrapped BTS fic ideas so if I decide to write BTS ones, you might see some overlapping.
Oh right, let me explain Hybrids for those who might not know. They're basically like nekos, think of those hot cat girls in anime. They're humans with animal parts or characteristics!
But anyway, the first section is "Prey Hybrids". I have Rafayel down as an axolotl, Xavier as a frosty Holland lop rabbit, Sylus as either a sika deer or a tufted deer (both are native to south asia and I have no idea which one to use), and Zayne as a Black Beauty sugar glider.
Next section is "deadly hybrids". I have Rafayel under Great White Shark (they have two penises so I could use this in the story), Xavier as a Grey Wolf (wolves can knot 👀), Sylus as a melanistic tiger, and Zayne is a leopard seal. Now, I'm not sure how I'll make Zayne into a leopard seal hybrid, I was going to use a snow leopard but...I have a "polar hybrid" section coming up soon and also I didn't want two big cats in one part.
Now, we're onto "domesticated hybrids" so think of your cats, dogs, any animal that humans have thought "hey, that'd be a good pet" fits here. Rafayel is a calico koi fish (still undecided here), Xavier is a Corgi (I thought golden retriever but I didn't want to say the obvious), Sylus is a black smoke Maine Coon, and Zayne as an Agouti Husky.
"Uncanny Hybrids" is our next category and for uncanny, I wanted to do hybrids that not a lot of people write for. Like you usually see cats, dogs, octopi, sharks, squid, and stuff like that so I wanted to do the ones that not many people would do and that's difficult. Rafayel would be a chevrotain (which is a mouse deer with little fangs), Xavier would (fittingly) be a sloth, Sylus would be a vampire bat, and Zayne would be a Kangaroo (I might swap Sylus and Zayne but do note that Kangaroo have two penises as well; and I have no idea how to explain to my FBI agent just why my search history is filled with stuff like this but I must do my research for stories 😞).
Two more categories. We have "Polar hybrids" as mentioned earlier and "Mythological Hybrids".
For the polar ones, Rafayel is an arctic fox, Xavier is a penguin, Sylus is a snow owl, and Zayne is a polar bear!
As for the mythological, it's half unfinished. I only have Rafayel as a kitsune and Sylus as a cerberus/hellhound hybrid with Y/n being the daughter of Hades.
Tumblr media
The Fated/Soulmate series! I'm unsure what to call this exactly. I might have it under "Fated mini-series" but it's going to be four different one-shots with each of the guys under a different soulmate trope. So you can give me feedback about this as well or even comment something you'd want to see instead or even help add upon the idea itself!
Rafayel's soulmate trope would be the "colourblind until you touch" trope. Where everyone is colourblind until you meet your soulmate but for an added twist, the first touch from your soulmate leaves an imprint wherever they touched. So, for example, Rafayel grabs your arm as you try to leave and it leaves a pretty, water-coloured imprint on your wrist. I think that would be a fitting and cute combination for Rafayel.
Xavier's soulmate trope would either be "dreams of a past life together", so you both dream of your past life and have to find the person in your dreams, or "at a young age, you can make something and send it to your soulmate. This item will be key in finding your soulmate as an adult." So, let's say you send Xavier the star sword tassel and he sends you a crystal (imagine the protocore he tries to give the mc in his anecdotes). Then, as adults, you see Xavier walking to class with the charm on his backpack while your grandma, Josephine, turned the crystal into a necklace. Edit; this has been changed to a "tattoo mark" appearing when making contact with your soulmate annnnd the guideverse (so think espers and guides)
Zayne's is, by far, my favourite idea. It's "once you touch your soulmate, you get opposing evols". So similar to "opposites attract". You're childhood friends with Zayne and for some reason (spoilers), you wear gloves so you can touch anyone. Zayne also wears gloves in solidarity with you but, one day, he forgets his gloves and catches you when you slip. His hands touch your bare elbows and suddenly, he has an ice evol and yours is fire. For some extra angst, fire is traumatic for you and so is the thought of soulmates.
Sylus's is more of a funny idea than anything. A "tangible red string of fate" so similar to the evol linkage in game. He can drag you around with it and everything. It gets more visible and stronger the more you think about the other person, so at first its barely even noticeable and he can't move you with it. But soon, he can literally drag you out with him and you can play a funny game of tug-of-war with it. Edit; I really want to change this one so i might hold a voting for it as well
I also had the fleeting idea of grumpy x sunshine but that's more of a "trope" than a soulmate trope.
I also have another good fate idea for Rafayel, a stand-alone one. This soulmate au would be "your soulmate is from another world and you get dreams of their day-to-day life. You must decide if you'll cross over to their world by your 23rd birthday and, if you choose not to, you'll lose your connection to them." In this au, Rafayel would be the God of the Sea and you would be an average person. Rafayel would be more than willing to leave his life for his soulmate but as the last God of the Sea...You end up making the decision for him.
Tumblr media
The Tropes mini-series;
So this one is a four-shot with an accumulation of tropes. So each LADS boy will have a one-shot of a different trope. Like friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, etc.
I could've went the obvious route and chose Zayne or Xavier as childhood friends to lovers but I didn't want the easy way out to be honest.
The trope I chose for Rafayel is "amnesia". You've lost your memory and woke up in the hospital with a man seated next to you. His hand desperately gripping your own as if he were a balloon about to fly away. "Uh...hello?" You ask, your throat feeling dry as if you hadn't spoken in weeks. "Y/n!?" The man jerks awake with wide eyes. Tears flood his waterline and he gently cups your face. You can feel his hands trembling and you tilt your head to the side, confused, "Are you...my boyfriend?" "What-" Rafayel looked confused, but it only takes a few seconds before he nods, "Yes. I'm Rafayel, your boyfriend."
In actuality, you're his bodyguard and you got injured trying to protect him. He lies to you because he doesn't want you to put yourself in danger for him anymore.
Edit; this one has since been changed to "love at first sight" + reincarnation + slight enemies to lovers
Xavier's trope is a complete flip on what you would originally expect. I chose "rivals to lovers" for him, just because I had a small idea where he could be a lightseeker and you would be the other faction. (I forgot the names of the knights on Philo, they're from Xavier's lightseeker myth if you're confused) But you also get annoyed with Xavier because he keeps putting off his princely duties. Annnnd it would be funny to call him "Princess". I have since changed mind and Xavier's "Pragma(tic) Love" is out now!
Zayne's trope is also not "friends to lovers". Instead I thought "forbidden love". This one is a bit of a stretch and I can tweak it if it's unliked but this would be a fantasy au where Zayne is from the Kingdom of Linkon and he's a saint blessed by Astra (the God from his Forseer myth) and you are a princess from the Kingdom of Philo. You were blessed by the Goddess Lux (I made her up and her name means light) and you've come to Linkon's Kingdom to possibly marry their prince, Greyson (I didn't want to use a love interest for this role), and unite the kingdoms. Instead you, a princess from a kingdom who doesn't believe in Astra, and Zayne, a follower of Astra, fall in love. Also, Zayne's powers cannot affect you because of Lux's blessing, which gives you the ability to resonate (make other's powers stronger), heal, and create a ball of light so hot that it feels like fire itself. Edit; this one has been changed to "brother's best friend" <3
Now, Sylus is our friends to lovers! A modern au friends to lovers where your mother is a top operative in Onychinus, a crime syndicate led by Sylus's parents. You meet while young (but not too young) and have a seven year age gap. You've always had a crush on Sylus, since you were little, and Sylus possibly does but he avoids thinking about it because of your age difference. At 30, he feels like he's way too old for you, at 23 in this. Now, to not make it weird, your mother passes away and you're sent to your grandma, Josephine's to live a better life away from all the crime. You grow up there from highschool, all the way until college when disaster strikes. On your way home for springbreak with Caleb, your friend- who your grandmother took in, your home explodes. The blast kills both Caleb and your grandma. This was clearly an attack by a rival gang and Sylus steps in to take you back to Onychinus.
Edit; this one has been changed as well, I'm unsure of what just yet though, but there's a voting for what it could be! (Sept 2, 2024)
Tumblr media
I hope you guys aren't tired of this by now! But either way, I'll keep going since I'm not done yet. I just wanna put my ideas out there and figure out which I should be working on as I post my weekly chapters for "Twist of Fate".
The next category is the "camgirl" mini-series. This one was a must-have to add because I've read so many BTS camgirl one-shots and loved them so much. I doubt any of the four guys would ever want their love on camera for everyone to see but they might not mind as much if they're on screen with her...
So for Sylus, I already have a name. I came up with it at work- "Welcome to the Puppet Show".
The idea is as follows, "Sylus strings you up like a puppet with his evol during one of your weekly cam-sessions." That's it. That's all I got.
For the rest, Xavier's would be the usual. He's your childhood friend and he recently gifted you a necklace for your birthday. His friend, Jeremiah, tells him about this camgirl website and jokingly shows him a few videos. After this, Xavier has been watching your lives for a while now until he notices something peculiar in today's session. You're wearing the necklace he gave you. He instantly knows it's you because he got the necklace custom made and he confronts you about it.
Rafayel is a tattoo artist and he recently gave you a tattoo. It was a pretty unique one so he'd never forget what it looked like, especially where you had it done. A cute, little koi fish ying-yang under your breast. He sees the tattoo in one of your cam-sessions and I'm not sure how you would meet up after that, if I'm honest so let's move on to Zayne.
Zayne is your partner during your cam-shows. He's your close friend from school and once he learnt of your cam-shows, he casually offers to be a part of them for when your fans get tired of your solo lives. He's always only lent a hand, never actually fucking you. Neither on camera nor off. But on your final live, you ask him to fuck you. This is your final live because you're planning on confessing your feelings for him afterward.
Now, we're onto the most unsure one of all; the Android mini-series.
Tumblr media
The Android mini-series is, once again, solo one-shots compiled into a series. This series was heavily taken from an old bts mini-series I had. Like Rafayel's would've been Taehyung's (his model would've been the Vante KTH7-1230), Xavier's would've been Jimin's (his model would've been PJM7-1013), Zayne's would've been Namjoon's (his model being Holmes 2.0 KNJ7-0912), and Sylus's would've been Yoongi's (his model being OG Holmes MYG7-0309). So, I might change Zayne and Sylus's models because I might want to write this idea for bts in the future, but just let me know if you want to see it and I'll make some changes!
For Rafayel's, you were fully colourblind when you were younger but you were deadset on becoming an artist. Your grandma, Josephine, had always wanted the best for you so she worked many days of overtime at her job until she could finally afford a corrective surgery- but only for one eye. You've gotten the surgery, which was replacing your original eye with an android one so now you have one e/c (eye colour) eye and one magenta eye. Later on in life, you were finally in college for an art degree and your professor gifts you his old android. A Delaux model (the model is named after a famous artist who painted mermaids) with the ID number RF04-0306. The Delaux model of androids are used to help artists with colour correction and matching, give input on what would sell best or look more appealing to buyers, and even give an artist ideas for artworks or create compelling backstories that their artwork could be based upon. All Delaux androids have unnatural coloured hair since it's against their coding to have nature hair because it's normal and therefore boring for such an artsy android model. Rafayel is the only Delaux model with his hair colour.
Next up is Xavier. He's a Lux model android with the ID XV04-1016. Lux model androids are primarily used as an assist for the military and police force as replacements for the K-9 unit, so they're lithe and light on their feet. These models always have blonde or silver hair if they work for the police and black hair if they're affiliated with the military. If they have any different hair colour, then the Lux model is considered defective and is terminated. These models cannot be kept by the public because they're a higher caliber of android, unless they are protecting a rich client. For your story, you find him in an alleyway or maybe a garbage dump and he's half destroyed. You decide to bring him home to your mechanic shop (your home is above the shop) to repair him. Once your power him on, he remembers nothing so you decide to keep him around- almost as if he's a stray dog. Also, in this story, you have an android arm. For this one, I'm 100% sure if I want him to be a military android but it makes sense for him. It was either this or a sex worker android and I feel like that doesn't fit with him..
Zayne is a Holmes 2.0 model android with the ID number ZY04-0905. The one and only Holmes model in existence since the last one was shut down because it was ruled compromised (or deviant) after a various amount of tests. The Holmes model is a less animalistic version of the Lux model; These androids are more intuitive and less likely to instigate conflict. Black hair is their only choice of hair colour, anything else and they will be decommissioned. In this, you are a damn good detective. The best there ever was...until your accident. You miscalculated an explosion radius during your last big mission and it costed you big time. You ended up losing both an arm and a leg. Your boss (the chief of police) compensated you for your injuries. He provided you with an android arm and leg to replace what you had lost and a brand new Holmes 2.0 model android to be your little sidekick for the next few months, until you can get used your new limbs. This would be his first official test run before the EVER corporation created more of his model. But you hated it. You felt useless to your team and you felt less human with your new android add-ons. You pretty much took out your anger on your newly acquired android because they gave you an android to solve a problem that an android caused in the first place! Damn defective android almost killed you, all because it "didn't want to die". I love the premise of this but Holmes doesn't fit with Zayne's aesthetic. I can always swap him to a medical assistance android where Y/n has a heart condition and Zayne is her android that takes care of her but it's up to yall! If I change Zayne, I have to change Sylus's though because their models go hand in hand for the story.
And lastly, we have Sylus. He...can't remember his model name but he knows his ID number, SL04-0418. Though, every time he looks up his ID number, he gets no results. Nothing. It's almost as if his model never existed or...it was decommissioned. That would mean he's defective and he doesn't want to admit that. He doesn't want to be shut down. After searching, he soon learns that he might be the original Holmes model but...it's not like he can just ask anyone, they'd shut him down if he asked..right?
You have worked in the big, shiny and glaringly white EVER corporation building for years at this point, creating and customizing many androids that are constantly in every day use. You painstakingly detailed everything about these androids from their faces to even their personalities and the very first Holmes model was no exception. You grew very close to this android during the years of designing and creating him, you even gave him a name. Sylus. He was one of your favourites, out of all of your creations, and...he was decommissioned. You honestly never thought you'd see him again until you were brought in to shut him down and you couldn't bring yourself to do it. You had loosely based his looks on an old friend whom you had a one-sided crush on. From his hair to his eyebrows, his physique and even the scar on his chest. You were able to take full creative liberties with the very first Holmes model android because, well, it was the first in existence. But now, he's just called a failed prototype. You made him too...human. Too independent and strong willed. This wasn't the designated personality for a Holmes model android and this ultimately led to a cop becoming gravely injured on Sylus's first mission. The negligence caused by your own hand haunts your every day because you could've killed someone. It would've been your fault, after all. But now with that android, your android, standing right in front of you once more...You can't seem to let him go. You can't lose him, not for a second time. You're willing to throw your whole job away to protect him, sick and tired of androids being treated horribly just because they're becoming self aware and more human. So again, let me know if you like this idea and if you do, I hope you won't mind if I end up re-hashing it when I possibly make my bts android mini-series <3 because I genuinely can't think of anything that works with Sylus. Nothing else really makes sense but I'm also unsure of how the story would go with this one 🤔
Tumblr media
I think we're at the half-way point! This is where it goes downhill to be honest. The only good one here is the first one, I feel, but if I thought about it more, I'm sure I'd find better ideas for the other guys.
Rafayel's fairy tale story is quite obvious. It's "The Little Mermaid" but flipped. You would be Eric and Rafayel would be Ariel, however Eric would be the one wanting to be part of Ariel's world. You've seen him in the ocean multiple times from your beach house. Honestly, the first time you saw him, you thought he was drowning but then you saw the beautiful purple and blue tail fin that adorned his lower half. He was...a mermaid? Every day for a few weeks, you'd take some time out of your day just to watch him breach the surface and play around with the seagulls. He would sometimes sit atop driftwood and large boulders in the ocean. He was a sight to behold. And then, he began to take notice of you. Eventually, the two of you begin engaging in conversation- but not before he accuses you of wanting to fillet him like a fish. As the two of you grow close and he tells you stories about his home, Lemuria, you decide you want to be a part of his world. You find a traveling witch and she gives you an ultimatum. You can become a mermaid to live with Rafayel but you must give something up equal in return. Now, the tricky part is, I'm not sure what I want for Y/n to lose. I don't want it to be her voice, her eyesight, her emotions, so I'm thinking maybe she gains a heart condition so she can be with him but not for a long time. Though, this heart condition can be cured with an act of passion. An action that would tug on anyone's heart strings would be enough to snap the strings of Y/n's heart back into place. Also some mermaids are depicted with two penises so...Yeah!
Xavier's is yet another obvious one. I decided to go with "Sleeping Beauty" but I can always change it if I can find a better one. On the day the little prince was born, a warlock appeared and let out a cackle, "I shall curse the sole heir to Philo's throne. This kingdom has brought many sufferings to warlocks and witches alike and it shall be brought down by the prince himself!" The warlock, named Luminous (I came up with that on the spot but it's a parallel to Maleficent and Lumiere) also cursed the king and queen with infertility so they couldn't just have another child. And so, on Prince Xavier's 23rd birthday, Luminous reappeared and unsealed the curse upon the prince. Thorns erupted through the banquet hall, wrapping around the entire castle, and whomever was pricked by the thorns fell into a deep slumber. 50 years have passed since the kingdom of Philo fell into a deep slumber and you, a witch who was also childhood friends with the prince, decide to sneak into the castle and plunder it for any treasures it may hold. While searching, you prick your finger on a thorn and panic, thinking you will also succumb to the curse. However, you don't. This could be because you're a witch or because you're just the protagonist. Either way, this leads you to believe that you could wake Xavier up and this option would pave the way for more money in the future so it's your best opportunity for some quick wealth. As you head over to Xavier, pondering on how you could wake him up, you end up tripping over something on the floor and you land on top of him. Your lips crashing into his and you can taste your own blood. Congrats, you've awoken sleeping beauty! :D
Sylus's story...I'm torn between "Rapunzel" and "The Beauty and the Beast". He's got the Flynn Ryder aesthetic but also the Beast's at the same time so once I come up with a storyline, I'll probably make my decision.
Zayne's is also another hard decision. I could go for the obvious "Frozen" or perhaps Mulan. I'll explain my Frozen storyline though since that's all I've got. So Zayne is Elsa and you have the power of fire. (I haven't seen Frozen 2 but I think there's a girl who wields fire in it?) You don't know that you have this power and you were a princess who was just banished from your Kingdom, Philo, due to the false charge of trying to murder your step mother, the queen. You were banished from your warm kingdom to a desolate, snowy forest in the Kingdom of Linkon. And here, you stumble upon Zayne's ice castle that he created with his powers. Now, the story behind your false charges is, your step mother went from a mistress to a queen after your mother passed away and your step mother got rid of you because she wants her son, the king's non-bilogical, to be next in line for the throne instead of you. So, instead of fighting your way to go back home, you convince Zayne to allow you to stay in his castle until the snow storm outside subsides and you can leave. Soon, you learn of your fire powers and Zayne offers to aid you in learning how to use them. Also, Zayne's younger brother Greyson (He is Ana here) and his girlfriend Yvonne (She is Kristoff) are the rulers of Linkon because Zayne locked himself away in the castle in fear that his powers would hurt someone.
Tumblr media
Here's where the ideas get less and less detailed. This was another mini-series taken from my old bts ones and honestly, I might not even write these but I thought it would be nice to add them here just in case.
Zayne would be an English professor with you as his teaching assistant. Even though you're an assistant, you also do some classwork to bide your time when you're not busy and even turn it in to Zayne to have him 'grade' it. This week's essay for a romance essay and you decided to write a steamy little romance essay for fun and submit it to Zayne after class. A week passes by and you're worried he either saw it and didn't care or he's going to mention it when you leave expect it- which he does the latter. He's intrigued at how knowledgeable and intimate the scenes are, and questions if you've done something like this before. You respond that you're a virgin and Zayne asks, "Would you like to feel how your essay would play out?"
For Rafayel, I'd do the obvious choice of an Art Professor with you as his teaching assistant (you're always the teaching assistance because Professor x student feels a bit icky to me, just the power dynamic and everything. I'm not too into writing it). Anyway, he needs you to be a model for a painting but never tells you just what kind of model.
Sylus's could be a physical education professor, I'm not sure if that's even a type of professor? (I didn't go to college so I wouldn't know) but I'm on the fence about this one. I could base it loosely off of his boxing 5 star card.
Xavier would be the Theatre/Drama professor and he needs you to be his supporting actress for rehearsals. Maybe you both are participating in a big play with the students and you need to practice your lines?
Because these ones are specifically so short, I'm not going to add a break in-between. It feels unnecessary but the next idea is superheroes. Honestly since I love Spiderman so much, I might make them all spiderman but for now...here's the ideas.
Xavier would be Lumiere (comparable to Spiderman), Rafayel would be spiderman (because I don't want to write aquaman-), Zayne could be winter soldier, and Sylus might fit as Iron Man. So in these stories, you'd be Iron man's secretary (so think Pepper), spiderman's best friend, lumiere's biggest fan and probably a reporter, and I'm drawing a blank on winter soldier.
The superhero one is honestly my weakest link when it comes to these one-shots but I really want to give it a shot.
Then, the actual one-shots that wouldn't be in series's would be all of their 5 star myth cards but reimagined. So I wouldn't write them word for word, just loosely base them on it.
The only example I have is for the Sea God myth.
So in this story, you're still an orphan being raised by the emissaries as a sacrifice for the Sea God but you have grandma Josephine, who was a clergy woman at the church you were confined to. She would tell you all kinds of stories about Lemuria and the people who lived under the deep sea. Then, on your 19th birthday, she passes away and shortly after, you were thrown into the sea as a sacrifice for the Sea God. I set the age at 18/19 just because Rafayel's coming of age ceremony to become the Sea God is within the 5 star myth cards and usually your coming of age ceremony (at least in ro-fan manhwas) is around the age of 16 to 19.

Annnnd that should be it! I really wanted to add my space/alien! Bts au since I really like it and will more than likely write it in the future, but this isn't a bts post so I don't want to write about them too much here but if you want to hear about it then I might make a separate post about it!
With that being said, I hope you enjoyed reading through my ideas for the future and have some that you're looking forward to! Other than that, my next post will be Chapters Six and Seven for "Twist of Fate" on late Friday or sometime Saturday! I don't have an exact time since I'll have to cross-post to both wattpad and AO3 but it'll be one of those two days. I'll possibly even post chapter eight as well, but I'm not too sure yet since I'm writing chapter twenty and I don't want to post too many chapters at once. I'll see y'all once more on friday/saturday! 🩷

so i went ahead and went through all the sprites and textures in ot2. found smth interesting (as if all the various textures in the game aren't interesting lol), for some reason there's a folder with old screenshots from some points in development?
well, firstly there's- world's worst pathetic fucking tiny sacred guard headquarters. couldn't even afford roof textures. featuring my girl kaldena ofc.
Tumblr media
and now for smth a little more interesting (to others. kaldena is always interesting to me), there's this screenshot from the start of temy's stormhail chapter where the mint writes a letter to him. (for some reason it's still got that window title bar at the top??)
Tumblr media
so here, she calls him veritas. in fact, none of the screenshots call him temenos, just veritas. suppose they didn't really have a name for him yet at that point and picked a placeholder name, but vados, the mint and crick (whose names appear in the same screenshots as his) do get to have their real names. of course, this name fits with temy's whole truth thing, but, as a friend said, it's a little too on the nose.
and one more thing:
Tumblr media
there's 8 statues here instead of 2!! they all look the same yes. i assume they wanted to change them to the other god statues but just removed them? maybe because it would cover some npcs or smth? it certainly would have made more sense to have all of them there instead of just... 2. well fuck man maybe someone stole them... or smth. but my god for a world with at least 8 gods they sure like to focus only on One (1) god. maybe 2.
i've nothing particular to say anymore but if you want to take a look at them yourself here's the link for these screenshots. a lot of them are temy related for some reason.

thinking about the Kennedy Parents. because Boy do i have headcanons.
so we've got Marshall Neil and Diane Reynolds Kennedy. lovely people.
some fun facts about these lil dudes:
- Marshall is Irish, technically! he's the son of some descendants of Irish immigrants :]
- he also fought in World War 2! only for a short time, though...considering he kinda got shot in the leg and had to have it amputated.
- Diane grew up in a sort of middle-class household. not...the Greatest people, i'll say that.
- neither of their families were the best. but in comparison to Diane's (emotionally and verbally abusive, as well as very misogynistic and sexist. because Housewives. basically they believed heavily in gender roles), Marshall's were Saints (they were very much "suck it up and deal with it" people)
- they both technically lived in/around the same town, but technically really met in Vegas. Diane was going there to get away from her family for a little while, and Marshall was there on a trip with his brothers (to uh. Distract Him From Some Things. such as his recently amputated leg).
- Diane's family never even Remotely approved of the relationship. things are still tense with them to this day.
- you thought either of these two were neurotypical? oh, absolutely not, where do you think Jack and his siblings got the autism from?
- Marshall swears frequently around the kids. which wasn't too much of a problem...until Jack started repeating them back.
- Marshall, having grown up on a farm but not living in a place where he Could farm, would usually garden. he's where Jack’s interest in plants and their biology comes from :]
- visits with Diane's family are always a nightmare, considering that they try to push their views onto her kids. Which She Doesn't Appreciate, By The Way.
- Marshall's family is better, but...they're all still loud and boisterous. doesn't help with sensory issues, but at least they aren't assholes to the children!
- the only extended family member that the Kennedy Siblings had contact with after their parents died was Aunt Jan, Marshall's younger sister and the Official Wine Aunt. absolute sweetheart <3
- both Diane and Marshall were accepting of Jack when he came out as trans <3
- i feel like if Marshall and Henry ever met, it would be...interesting. Henry would probably sit there for ten minutes and then suddenly go "Ah...I see where Jack gets his...personality from 😊" (< barely restrained annoyance) and Marshall just kinda has to deal with the sudden whiplash as he tries to figure out if that was just an observation or an insult (it is an insult).
- these two would have loved Caroline </3
- considering that i Have said before that Healthy Davesport could have happened earlier in the timeline if things hadn't gone to shit, i feel like they would've found Dave...Interesting. but hey, if This is the guy Jack’s into, who are they to get in the way of that? just as long as he doesn't hurt their little Jackie, they don’t mind it.
- they Do agree with Peter, though, that Jack has the weirdest(/worst) taste in men-
anyway! love these little guys <3
- dogboyjackkennedy
I'm gonna scream I fucking love this sm. These are so good I love these people so much and I'm simultaneously ripping my hair off over their passing. They sound like so absolutely lovely REUUAHUAAHH OT2

I am not going to speak about this on Twitter because I don't want to cause any more cracks in the veneer of the Cassiopeia fandom - but I have something to say.
I have been in this fandom for 20 years. Since the very beginning. I've seen the ups and downs. I know there are OT2 fans, OT5 fans, OT4, OT3, etc etc. Okay, fine, if we got along then no worries but damn we do not.
My god - the pure acid that the various sides spit at each other is so heartbreaking, and I can barely take it any longer.
Listen to me here -
- TVXQ was successful between 2003-2010 as a group of 5 members. Each one of those members played an important part in the equation that made them a force to be reckoned with. Of course there were members who were more famous than others, but if you took one away, that absence would be noticed and impactful.
- TVXQ split in 2009 due to reasons we are all aware of. Yunho and Changmin continued as TVXQ and then were also successful on their own...with their own talents and merits. JYJ went on to be successful with their talent, merits. Neither side were boosted because of the other - and to say that means you discount each one of their personal competences.
- JYJ were blacklisted yet still found their way into success. TVXQ (HoMin) worked to improve themselves so they could continue with the TVXQ name and fill Nissan Stadium. Of course, they both built off the established foundation of 2003-2009 TVXQ, because that's just NORMAL and how it all works in this system. THEY BOTH BUILT OFF THE TVXQ LEGEND. BOTH.
- Both sides have expressed their nostalgia for the OT5 era. It may not be obvious from the surface, but if you dig and listen to the members words...its all there. But both sides are also immensely proud of their current success and they shouldn't be made to feel ashamed for that.
- Fans will come into Cassiopeia at various times. If they started with the duo TVXQ, then that's where they started. Don't fault them for not knowing history....we can always educate them in a kind and open way.
Final words - TVXQ as five will always be a standard we will never again see in kpop. I understand that OT5 fans want to protect that and showcase their pride at this incredible group that unfortunately ended far too early. OT2 fans have pride in the two members who took the TVXQ name after it was broken into 1,000 pieces and put it back together again. They will be passionate too. BUT CHRIST - can't we all just get along?! Aren't we all technically on the same side here?
All we all really want is appreciation and acknowledgment for the past and acceptance and success for the future. Right? We keep pushing new fans out because of how divided we all are - how intense we all come off - and all behind our own party lines.
All I can say now is that I have loved every TVXQ era, every TVXQ member, and will continue to do so. I don't care the iteration of thr group. They are my TVXQ. My group. I support them all in whatever they choose and enjoy the success they've all built together and apart.
I bleed pearl red.
Do you?

This is still a few years pre ot2 canon
Therion knew Partitio would not approve, but it had become a habit. Whenever they were in the mines, he stuffed silver in his pocket. Not a lot of course, but it added up. In just a few months, he had a good pile hidden in the corner of his room.
That morning, Papp had collapsed. Therion would have done anything to help him, but he couldn't afford to miss another day of work. Partitio stayed home to help his father and Therion had to pray he wouldn't be dead when he got home.
He was so very tired and he wanted nothing more than to sleep, but he could not. He had to make sure Papp was okay. His heart sank at the sight of Partitio pacing back and forth outside.
"Is he-?" Therion started.
The look of terror on Partitio's face was one Therion would never forget. He had only seen such an expression when Erhardt nearly died in Olberic's arms and when Ophilia almost lost her dear sister Lianna.
"He looks like a corpse," Partitio muttered.
Therion didn't say another word, only holding his friend tight as they cried.
"I can't lose my pops," Partitio sobbed.
Silently, Therion left to retrieve his silver he had stashed away. When he showed it to Partitio, he got the expected reaction of disapproval.
"I don't care if it's illegal, your dad is going to die unless we get him medicine," he argued.
All Partitio could do was sigh. They left for Canalbrine in search of an apothecary.
Selling the silver was easy enough. Partitio was one charismatic bastard. The people looked at him with stars in their eyes as though he held a solution to all their problems in the palm of his hand.
Finding medicine was another thing entirely. The illness Papp had was far too odd and specific. An apothecary who worked for free did not have the experience to treat him on testimony alone and an apothecary that could charged an arm and a leg for their medicine.
After searching all day, they collapsed on a bench. It was no use, no one could treat him.
"What about the guild in Conning Creek?" Therion suggested.
"He'll be dead by the time we come back," was all Partitio could muster.
There was not much else they could do. Therion stared at the houses as gods know how much time passed. People walked back and forth. The clouds moved in the wind. Linde licked his hand. Children laughed and-
Linde licked his hand.
"LINDE?" Therion exclaimed.
The leopard purred as she rubbed her head against his leg. He nearly cried at the sight of her, happily petting her soft head as Partitio watched in confusion.
"Do ya' know this cat?" he asked.
Before Therion could even answer, he was pounced and pushed to the ground.
"THERI! WE THOUGHT WE'D NEVER SEE YA' AGAIN!" Alfyn laughed as he nearly killed the thief.
"Draefendi blessen Linde and her ability to tracken thee," H'aanit smiled, hugging Therion as well.
For a moment, Therion forgot all about Partitio and Papp and Oresrush. All he could think of was Osterra and his friends who had helped him move on from Darius, his friends who taught him to trust and to love.
And then he remembered Papp.
"A-Alfyn! Perfect timing! M-m-my, wait, no, Partitio's d-d-d-" Therion stuttered as he spoke.
His mouth could never keep up with his mind when he got happy and he giggled as he tried to formulate his sentence.
"Is this one of your friends?" a man asked.
They all turned to see him and Alfyn smiled, "Ah, this is my boyfriend, Therion."
The man smiled and shook his hand, "I'm Osvald, pleasure to meet you."
Two more people came and they introduced themselves as Rita and Elena. Therion laughed to himself thinking of how predictable Alfyn was to have befriended a lovely family of introverts. He had always been like that, helping those who struggled the most with asking for it.
After the initial excitement of meeting an old friend again, Therion explained the predicament him and Partitio were in. Alfyn was more than happy to help Papp and the rest of his group was just fine with seeing the Wildlands.
They left that afternoon, walking well into the night. Partitio had very quickly become friends with H'aanit and asked her hundreds of questions about Linde and in return, her and Elena asked about his odd yellow attire. They shared countless laughs during the walk.
But behind them, Therion and Alfyn silently walked hand in hand. It felt like an eternity since they had held each other last.
"You've changed," Alfyn remarked.
"Hmm? How so?"
"You didn't complain when I hugged you even though I forgot to ask for permission."
"It's been months, I probably would have tackled you if you didn't see me first," Therion laughed.
Alfyn did too. It was wonderful to be together again. Still, in the silent moments, Alfyn smiled to himself. Therion had found a friend he was not scared to share his problems with. He really was getting better.
YOU WERE RIGHT THIS IS MAKING ME FEEL THINGS!!!!!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!
ALFYN PRACTICALLY TACKLING THERI AS HE RUNS IN FOR A HUG AND THERI ALMOSY CALLING PAPP HIS DAD,,,,,,,,,,,…,..,…,.,. PIE MY HEART

Chapter Three (Tyrri), pt. 1:
Hey did you think Cunningsworth is a big city? Get ready for Whitecrux
Sitting pretty at the very centre of the Hearthlands, this thing is a metropolis
It’s very much in the same vein as Cunningsworth though: lots of back alleys that make for a much better path to the university than the main roads
Additionally, there’s some kind of really dumb roadblock on the main road. The stupider the better.
Tyrri makes it through the back alleys with little issue before reaching the university, and sitting in the highest tower is Headmaster Tasslemore
He’s a much older man than Professor Elber, much more classic wizard-looking (rather than Elber who was wearing basically just a tweed jacket, this game exists around the same time as OT2 because suits in a fantasy setting are fun)
He asks to see the water samples, and after a little bit of looking, comes to two conclusions
One: the non-elemental magic in the water appears to be biological in origin
Two: the filaments that make up the crystals very closely mimic the muscles in the heart
He says that he’s going to take the rest of the day to look further into it so he can draft up a preliminary report, and sends Tyrri away
He isn’t very fun. Not that I care.
The road is still blocked so Tyrri takes the back alleys again
Something bad finally happens to the university student walking alone in alleys as a pair of people try to steal her messenger bag (which has all of her notes and equipment)
Fight ensues, the two assailants are notably casters
After thoroughly trouncing the duo, Tyrri demands to know why they would go after a research student of all people
She’s broke as hell and her equipment matches that
They explain that they’re independent researchers and are just completely starved for gear
Why not go to the university? They look around that age and it would be a crime to make schooling so unaffordable that people straight-up couldn’t take courses
Like, no one would be awful enough to not at least have a basics course at a cheaper price
Well you’re not gonna believe this but
The duo leave her alone after it becomes clear that they’re no match for her
Tyrri is NOT sleeping good that night. Something something her black-and-white view of the world being challenged by the idea that a person who helped her being bad actually
In spite of the fact that she was supposed to go bright and early to head to the university she returns back to the place the duo almost mugged her because what they said is messing her up
She returns to find them in the same place and starts talking things out
Their names are Willie and Dante, they’re brothers, and their parents moved to the Hearthlands from the Deltalands in hope of better education for their sons
 The University of Whitecrux, in addition to its many other descriptors, is also hellishly expensive to get into
Tyrri is pissed but refuses to explain why, stares at a wall silently for a bit, and then says that she’s going to go beat the everliving shit out of the headmaster
Willie and Dante are free to tag along and do so gladly
As the three march into the university, a guard spots them
“INTRUDER ALERT. THOSE DAMN KIDS ARE BACK.”
“Guys what did you do.”
“Yeah we may or may not have tried to pull the same trick we did on you, on the university.”
With that delightful bit of dumbassery that most certainly should have been brought up beforehand, we jump into…
The Third (technically second) Dungeon: University of Whitecrux
You’d think that you already explored here but you’re WRONG
The first time Tyrri came here it jumped to a cutscene as soon as you opened the door and cut straight to her entering the headmaster’s office (jokes about it being too many stairs for her 4’11” twig frame ensue, she SMALL)
The enemies here are exclusively elementals paired with a single spellcaster, and armoured guards
Why does a university have armoured guards on its payroll? Don’t ask me. Ask the headmaster.
It’s fairly linear, just heading up and up towards the top of the tower
Definitely lots of hidden goodies to find like in Professor Elber’s office; there are going to be side quests here later on
Tyrri continues her streak of having real shitty dungeons because I truly have nothing to say about this
It’s a university with a bigass tower on it. What else do you want me to tell you.
Opening the doors to the headmaster’s office once more, a verbal spat breaks out
Headmaster Tasslemore demands to know why Tyrri would do this, Tyrri can easily explain as much
She was a street kid growing up, but she was able to scrounge and save enough from an early age and get schooling, work her ass off for scholarships, and get into the University of Cunningsworth (UoC is like. The Qamarian standard for how expensive a university should be. Its still too high but its closer to reasonable than THIS)
It was a truly awful time and she wouldn’t wish it upon anyone, even if they had tried to rob her the day before (quick glance back at Willie and Dante)
Headmaster Tasslemore. Does not like that. He does not like that the preliminary report he had drafted up had been for one of those rats
The natural thing to do? Throw it out the window. One of the siblings is thankfully able to intercept him before he can do that but some magic-enhanced keep away ensues
The room steam with rage on both sides, we leap into…

What's funny for me that you keep posting about how other blogs are controlling and monitoring and don't respect other opinions and here you are monitoring other blogs (Rosie) based on how they treated you or others and you give them the green light bc they didn't block you because of your opinion.. you have been playing a victim for weeks but I also noticed how YOU react to those who don't agree with your narrative about jikook using the passive agressive note... You made a blogger delete an rt bc you didn't like/misunderstand their comment about yoonmin/jealous Jk despite the fact they apologized.
You posted that story about that ex-tkkr who got bullied because she started calling out the cult but you are throwing shade to others who defend Tae "blindly" (according to you).. and nope, I also see sometimes Tae's strange behaviour before you say I am just Tae ass kisser..
You are on the way to became toxic ot2 jikooker soon..
Help me understand please. Are u pro Storm or against? Because bro, u know way too much
Tumblr media
If u don't agree with me why do u know so much about whats been going on here? Shouldn't u have me blocked too? Or is it easier to come after me, a nobody rather than confront someone big and popular?
I did not make anyone delete shit. They said something in their reblog that contradicted their comment. So I asked them why apologise and still have your reblog up? That was a legit question if u ask me fam. They didn't have to delete, that was on them.
I'm not on the way to becoming a toxic Jikooker. If that was the case I would be there already. OT2? With the members looking like they do?? 🥵🥵🥵 ain't no way. I've felt this way for a long long time. Just because someone asked me about it and I replied and more people got curious and sent asks that I replied to, doesn't mean this is new. I've just never posted about it. But,
Tumblr media
I haven't lied once in any of my posts. If y'all choose to take that as bullying its on u.

Did Hikari and Ochette's openings, and with that I'm finished with the OT2 demo...unless I decide to try to grab all eight characters in one go just to see if I can.
Hikari
Throws you right into the middle of a war zone like Olberic's intro did, but this time you get to play through some of it. This part is also the only time when Hikari gets guest party members, including the only female one in any intro.
I don't know the history and/or cultural references that this story setup may be pulling from, but it's fairly standard good king/bad king family drama fare. Hikari's brother setting fire to his own city seems especially like a dumb villain ball move, especially since they live in a desert and so resource scarcity is presumably why they're always at war, but it does add to the drama.
I can see why people say that this intro is unusually short if you don't go around challenging all the NPCs, because it doesn't even have a dungeon. Still, Hikari is much more mechanically interesting than Olberic, with the ability to learn skills by challenging people and with more interesting basic skills like a very useful counterattack and his latent power expanding his damage options even further. He was the highest-leveled of the eight by the time I was finished with his opening from all the fighting, and he does feel pretty powerful even though he's on his own.
Like Osvald, Hikari's story dumps him off in a small town separate from where he begins, but I recall that one of Partitio's Scent of Commerce leads points back to Ku so it's definitely going to be making a reappearance later in the game.
Ochette
As with Castti's concoctions, Ochette's beast taming is more streamlined and usable right from the start compared to the first game. Beasts no longer have limited uses and can be butchered "prepared" and made into consumables, making her feel much more versatile than H'annit with minimal work. The multi-hit bow attack she starts with is also incredibly useful.
Even with the chance to auto-capture beasts though, this still manages to feel a bit like a Pokémon game but letting you pick one of two starter beasts. Also they talk now, so that's a thing. I went with the jackal, because I'll probably go for the owl in the full game as it seems there are overall fewer options to target magic weaknesses.
...It would be better not to look too hard at the situation of the beastlings however, as at best it's fantasy colonialism undermined by the oppressed natives being animal people who almost all speak like the prehistoric humans from Chrono Trigger. Fortunately Ochette's story eventually veers into something more supernatural, so for the time being at least we don't have to deal with that.
It was hard not to think of Breath of the Wild here with the characters referring to a "calamity" and a red moon.

Obey Me Explained….. Kinda
In which I do my best to explain the shit hell that is the Time Travel in Obey Me. 
Spoilers: It’s absolute bullshit
So we start in chapter uhhh 15 technically since the plot twist is explained that Barbatos is actually a OP Time Wizard, which feels like a throwaway plot device… like dude there are so many ideas and you use Time Travel? Come on.
However I do appreciate the Yugioh Pyramid room. Good taste.
Anyways Barbatos gives you VERY CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO NOT FUCK UP and what does MC do? Why THEY FUCKING BREAK VERY FUCKING RULE IN THE LAWS OF TIME TRAVEL. *screams in quantum physics*
Barbatos’ Rules of Time Traveling (It’s more so Timeline Hopping but you know what, I can scream all day but it won’t change anything)
Do not reveal you are from the future (More like don’t reveal you are from a different Timeline or Universe)
Do not meet your past self (Hello??? Doppelgängers??? Stay the FUCK away)
Don’t make contact with others from the past. (Go back, observe how Belphie got out and then get the hell out)
To get back to this point in time (Read: Timeline) you need to KNOCK and ENTER through the door you used to get to the past 
Now you may be thinking, Huh? What door? I don’t remember going back through a door in the story…
And you would be right. You didn’t.
From here I’ll be explaining the Timeline and order of events and speculation as to why it occurred the way it did. 
For reference. There is the Original Timeline. Which is OT1, this is the Timeline of chapters 1 to the end of 15.
The Second Timeline, OT2 is the Timeline where Belphie kills you.
The Third and Final Timeline, OT3 is the Timeline we are currently in. Which is from Chapter 16-12 and onwards.
Alright now that’s out of the way let’s get this shit sorted shall we?
When you go through the wack time travel door you are sent back to Chapter 12-13, to the perspective of the brothers as they hide so that THIS TIMELINES YOU can go romance/befriend/ WHATEVER Lucifer. 
So we start with OT1’s MC dropping into Mammon’s bedroom. You know, possibly fortnite like. With everyone in there. Worst possible outcome. And rather than fucking BOLTING, you stay and chat. You know, despite being told not to. You have the option to lie about how you ended up in the room but it doesn’t change the FACTS.
At this point, there are two MC’s. One from OT1 and one that is currently vibing with Lucifer.
The boys end up kicking you out of the room and telling you to go chit chat with Lucifer, unaware that there is already a different version of you doing that.
So you hear Lucifer and your other self coming down the hall and this is where shit starts to get weird.
Regardless of which option you choose (Run, Hide, Turn Invisible- which by the way seems kinda like a weird option right? I’ll get to that later) you end up going into Lilith’s room.
Now. Directly from the transcript.
It’s so warm in here.
I recognize this place. It feels like someplace I know very well.
Now. Time to over analyze. You may be wondering why this matters. I’ll get to that in a bit I promise.
It’s stated that it’s warm. But really that doesn’t make sense. The room is stagnant. Nobody comes in or out. The room is abandoned since Lilith is dead and nobody uses it. However, I have a theory that Lilith is spiritually attached to your body which is why you sense what you feel.
Lilith probably has plenty of memories of sitting by the FIREPLACE in her room with Beel and Belphie. A lot of times people with spirit attachments get senses of déjà vu when they are near places that the Spirit used to frequent when the Spirit was alive.
The next area of weirdness is Leviathan. He comes in, unannounced and addresses you as if you were Lilith.
Transcript:
I’m coming in, okay?
Aha, I thought I’d find you in here.
Wait, Belphie’s not here?
Huh, that’s weird… He was just telling me that he was going to stop by your room.
Both of you were playing hide-and-seek, right?
He said he couldn’t find you. He looked like he was about to cry.
Why don’t you try to go find Belphie yourself? I mean, I guess it’s hard to say who’s it at that point, but still.
Well, see ya later.
Alright. So we have a lot to unwrap here, but I’ll make it short and sweet. Something clearly happened when you KNOCKED and ENTERED Lilith’s room (Hint Hint Nudge Nudge) What happened you ask? You jumped timelines. Which is why everything seems disjointed and jarring. It’s not supposed to be normal or feel normal, the game is subtly telling you that you aren’t supposed to be there.
Time is beginning to fray at the seams and when you exit the room you jump into another timeline AGAIN. As you go to the stairs to get to Belphie which you would think should be vacant, they are not.
From a casual players perspective you’d think oh! Well Lucifer and past me are in the living room, and the brothers are in Mammon’s room. So it’s all clear, right?
Wrong.
From the moment you exited Lilith’s bedroom you entered the OT2 Timeline. Which takes place roughly right after Lucifer imprisons Belphie in the attic. And at this point in time, you haven’t arrived in the Devildom yet.
I make this assumption based on the transcript:
Belphegor: What scares you is the thought of disappointing Diavolo, isn’t it?!
Say something! Lucifer!
The old Lucifer wasn’t like this. He wasn’t afraid of what someone else thought of him. He wasn’t pathetic like that.
Lucifer: You’re free to think whatever you want, Belphegor. Also…
I’d say you’ve changed as well.
It would seem weird for them to be arguing like this in the present since it’s like. Wow y’all are really just arguing over the same plot point for an ENTIRE year? Damn and I thought I was stubborn.
Anyways.
Lucifer comes down the stairs. You hide and yadda yadda and you goooo upstairrrrssss
Oh boy oh boy this gets FUCKED in hurry folks
So you YOU can just. Open the door. Without Lucifer’s pact? 🤔 k. And then you go and have familiar dialogue choices to wake Belphie up and blahhhhh
Let me get something off the table here. I am calling entire Bullshit on the Lilith is my ancestor origin story. I hate it and you may or may not hate it too so I’ll present a better argument.
Lilith, the lovely gal that she was, upon remembering who she was when she died decided to haunt the House of Lamentation. Which would provide reasoning as to WHY people believe the House is haunted.
When you come to the house of Lamentation to stay with the brothers you catch Lilith’s eye, and she sees that you have the potential to fix the rifts between the brothers. When she attaches herself to you she forms a pseudo pact with you. Why is this important? Because that’s how you got the dumb door open in the OT2 Timeline.
Now some of you may be screaming, BUT THEN HOW DID IT WORK IN THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE THEN HMMMM? And to that I answer. Lilith could see how the conversation between Lucifer and you was heading and she went to go unlock the door. And before you yell and say BUT SHE IS A GHOST-
Ghosts can manipulate objects, yeah? All she had to do was open the door.
Now this is my theory, in the canon of the game it uses garbage Terminator Time Travel logic which is A PARADOX. Feel free to fight me on this, I have receipts.
Anyway. You open the door. Oh but! You can choose to call out before you do. But conveniently nobody answers. Which means one of two things. Either Belphie falls asleep very quickly, or something else is at work here.
Remember those turn invisible options? Kinda strange right? I mean they wouldn’t even work anyways so why were they listed? Answer: Lilith. Lilith is a ghost so at times of being discovered it would be easy for a ghost to just vanish. That’s why it’s listed as if it were one of the choices you would instinctively make.
Belphie had just been conversing with Lucifer, and while he is the Avatar of Soth, you have seen his anger. He wouldn’t succumb to sleep while enraged. And he has no reason to ignore you either.
What do I think? 
*puts on tin foil hat like it’s a crown*
It’s because something isn’t letting him hear you.
I’ll get to that something later. First things first.
You get in the room and you have some…. choice dialogue. In OT1 Lilith had let Belphie out and naturally since she is attached to you, you have the same instinctive reaction to do the same. The difference is that you are still you. That’s why there is a Lilith choice and there is a you choice.
Transcript of Chapter 13-10
??? (Lilith):
Belphie…
Wake up…
Sorry Belphie…
Now the choices from Chapter 16-4
Wake up. (Lilith)
Belphegor. (MC)
Sorry. (Lilith)
It’s okay. (MC)
This might be over analyzing but fuck it. We ain’t here to under analyze. 
Moving right along, remember how I said we are at the point where you weren’t in the devildom? Well you went through another door, and jumped timelines again. And not ONLY that but you jump into the body of the OT2 MC, your memories are those of OT1 but you are in the body of OT2.
Where is your OT1 body? It’s hidden by the stairs patiently waiting for you to die so you can inhabit it again.
Weird right? But it makes sense, and here is why.
When Belphie brings you to the edge of death you are lying on the border of the afterlife. As such you would be a lot more susceptible to, let say, communication with ghosts.
A.k.a Our good Lilith.
ALSO NOTE Lilith never outright says she is our ancestor and as such I’m going to ignore what Diavolo says because I don’t trust him for reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy but I don’t trust him. At. All.
I’m more inclined to believe that Lilith was trying to say “Because you are my last hope.” Rather than descendant. I mean she outright says she chose you and that she has been watching over you and the brothers. Fact-check brought to you by Chapter 16-10.
Alrighty. Still here? Good.
Lilith lends you some of her power. And you pop back into existence.
Now at first I thought. Oh hey Lilith reversed time! That’s neat, now Barbatos isn’t too OP.
Except…. that’s not what happened at all.
The body you had been killed in was in Mammon’s arms. And your OT1 mind and body are now in what I call OT3. The final timeline. Not the true timeline, but the final one.
Now you really should skedaddle back to the palace and go to the yugioh room AND LEAVE 
But you get caught. And things get very very…. suspicious. History at this point IF we were time traveling would be fucked, but since I don’t believe we are, we are still golden.
ALSO TO EVEN PUSH MORE ON THIS FACT YOU HAVE A FLASHBACK TO BARBATOS TELLING YOU NOT TO COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANYONE
But a moment later Leviathan sees you. And things get funky. The OT2 you vanishes, we have canon confirmation that both OT1 and OT2 WERE REAL VERSIONS OF YOU. No fakes here folks.
Now. Here is what piqued my interest.
You explain the story of Lilith and Belphie calls you a liar before Lucifer proclaims it to be true. Then Lucifer asks you how you know about it.
When you tell him the truth, that he had told you, he denies it and asks for an explanation. Before you can so much as breathe a response someone intervenes.
Who you may ask? 
Diavolo, of course.
He makes a proclamation about you being Lilith’s descendant and your connection to her. Lucifer often tries to interject but is shut down. Every. Single. Time.
Hmmmm indeed.
Spiritual attachments, if they are strong enough can cause visions. And you may see memories from the spirit. 
I firmly want to believe that all this is bullshit in an attempt to distract us from the fact that we are not in the correct timeline. 
I mean…. did anyone notice just how easy Belphie gave in once Diavolo used the Lilith card? I mean, seriously, the guy killed you. And attempted to do so again not even five minutes earlier!
Diavolo and Barbatos don’t want you dead. And naturally you’d reason that of course they wouldn’t! The exchange program requires you to be alive after all. But what if…. there is more to it? I have reason to believe that Diavolo has more in mind than just the exchange program.
I mean this is the same man who Barbatos serves, it would be easy for him to just…. manipulate reality. We saw an example of this when the OT2 body vanished.
However keep in mind that the Diavolo and Barbatos we are speaking to are not the same as the original ones. These two are from OT3. And they might have a very very different agenda when compared to OT1.
In Chapter 16-19 we ask Barbatos if we warped history.
This is what we get back:
I know I told you that I have the power to see both the past and the future, but the truth is that there’s one more secret —something I still haven’t mentioned.
You see, I have the power to select from any number of different potential realities and make any of them into the sole reality.
Within the various potential realities, there are an infinite number of versions of MC…
...however, in the sole reality I chose, the one and only MC is the one right there. That’s why the previous MC disappeared while you remained…
Now by this logic, there are an infinite number of Barbatos’. Which poses an interesting question. OT3 Barbatos is acting as if he is OT1, which he is not. But him acting shady isn’t not the big issue here, believe it or not.
He can manipulate reality. Unravel it at his fingertips. He himself could have gone back and figured out that the ghost of Litith was the one to have opened the door. Which begs the question, why didn’t he?
Either OT1 Barbatos does not possess the ability to manipulate reality or he had withheld information on purpose. 
Now that’s a scary thought. I mean why would they withhold information unless…. unless…
You were a danger.
I am in the belief that Barbatos of OT1 is on your side, he gives instructions on how to get back. Because you NEED to get back. There are consequences for messing with time, like…. getting stuck in a parallel reality. *wink wink*
On the other hand… if Barbatos of OT1 COULD manipulate reality then why bother with you unless… there was an extra variable at play.
What if Barbatos couldn’t see what happened. What if Mister OP Time Wizard suddenly encountered an anomaly with you? What if this entire situation was orchestrated by Diavolo in an effort to figure out why Lilith attaches herself to you?
But. The horror doesn’t end here folks.
I believe that OT3 Diavolo and Barbatos are lying in an effort to keep you here, in OT3. After all, Barbatos just yeeted the OT2 MC into smoke after all. And we have NO idea where the OT3 MC is. Honestly I have a very funny feeling that you, the OT1 mc, have powers of your own. Ones that are not related to Lilith.
Because Lilith is just lending her aid, you already have something there for her to boost.
You traveling back in time (Timeline hopping, fight me) May have been a test, a test to see if you had powers locked up inside you.
And I think that you do. I think that we are being played as a fool and that there is something much larger at play here.
Or - And please hear me out - I’m going stir crazy in this quarantine.
Hope you guys enjoyed 💚
A/N this took me about 2 hours? To write and bounce between apps. This is about 2.8k words. Maybe I’ll come back and elaborate more on this but it’s late and I’m tired lmao. Someone take the tin foil away from me-

Kaisoo React: When S/O and they both bump heads together
When you and the boys both bump heads (get on each other’s asses) for something you both didn’t agree about and it turns out that it’s a bigger problem than you expected. Two/nine of a Reaction.
OT2:
Do Kyungsoo:
Being the King and Queen of Joseon- you weren’t full-blooded Korean. You were (Insert your Race) and that meant you didn’t exactly have a chance of ruling the kingdom even after Kyungsoo dies. Kyungsoo and you sat side by side as noblemen were sat down on the sides. Each village that came into the room was either a thief, murder, or a villager trying to get someone to sort their problems out. Yes, you read that right- villagers wanting a king to sort out their problems. No other kingdom in Korea did this but Joseon was the special and wealthiest place to be at yet it had tweaks to be made. This idea was yours to listen to villagers problems while he read and signed off of things; usually, you would agree with whatever Kyungsoo wanted to go on with an idea or an answer. One day the rain was terrible outside and everyone was off of their emotions either cranky, irritated, or tired. Kyungsoo and you were about to return to your chambers for the alone time until the guard came up to him, “Your Highness there is one more thief we must let you see before you and her majesty go to rest.”
Kyungsoo sighed but gave a fake smile “Fine, bring him through.” As he sat down a child came out with the rope tied around his small hands, looked around 11, he was dirty, looked beaten almost purple and red, somewhat bloody. “Park Minsoo he robbed from a few Villagers homes and small shops. We caught him in the act of picking from a jewelry stand- not only that but he destroyed a few things while trying to run away.” The guard bowed and shoved the little boy forward. Though Kyungsoo saw this a small case “Well, we can’t have thief’s in our kingdom, I sent him,” you cut Kyungsoo off. “Where are your parents Minsoo?” You asked. The boy looked frightened keeping his head low. “I-I don’t know... t-they left m-m..me and my sister in an f-foster home.” You felt sympathy for the poor boy. “So you steal for your sister and yourself,” the young boy nodded at your question.
“Well, we can't have you stealing and we certainly don’t want to imprison you.” Before you could continue Kyungsoo cocked his eyebrow “We can’t?” His voice went in one ear and other the other for you. “If I may remind you that I am king and that he needs to go to the cells or get whipped.” He scolded the young boy. You snapped your head at him with his big owl eyes and serious expression. “He is not going to be doing anything our purpose is to help and resolve not to kill. He hasn’t done anything that isn’t worth not fixing and that can’t be easily fixed.” You raised your voice turning away from him. A nobleman began to speak up “Your majesty, you still are foreign to our ways but please respect our custom to punishing our people.” Then all noblemen began to chanted not once but twice. This ticked you to stand up angrily. “Nothing will happen to this boy, he is now under my protection and if any of you do any action against him you will all be punished not by a whip or a cell but Burned on the mouths.” The noblemen kept their heads down silently. Kyungsoo and you never fought ... especially in front of other people. He kept a burning gaze on your entire body as you walked to the young boy and walked out. He was upset and angry but found it somewhat hot that he could’ve had you in bed with him before this boy even came in- that he would’ve made love to you yet now this felt like he had to hold it all in till later that night. He felt teased and he liked it.
Tumblr media
Kim Jongin:
Times were tough being inside of castle that was trying to aid another country. Being a king was hard but being a queen was even harder. With a man being a king- you would never hear someone call him such a cruel name, yet if you were a queen- being a woman was the opposite. Rumors and names wouldn’t be a problem for servants and villagers to spread about. No one took the woman seriously and that is cold rude truth. You and Jongin were sitting out in the garden, waiting for your royal visitors to come and join you both. While doing so you both enjoyed your quiet time together.
Not being bothered was the best for you and your husband, Jongin, you both wouldn’t need to speak of such troubles but enjoy the sounds of castle children playing and each other’s ease breathing. As a few minutes passed- the royal guest came out, the king and Queen of France strolled arm in arm to the table. “Ahh, You are just on time my friend please sit,” Jongin cheered. “We can catch up and then have our courses for dining.”
As they joined you both you sat quietly not wanting to be a blabbermouth but kept all comments to yourself. Whether it was rude comments or polite words to either of them. “So Jongin, Have you found yourself a mistress yet?” The King spoke lightly on the subject. Jongin froze from surprise- he looked up with an arched eyebrow.
“A-a mistress?” He repeated back to the man.
“Yes, a mistress- I mean it must be stressed that you both are always busy I would’ve believed that you both would’ve had a mistress or Mister. I’m sure you both must get bored with each other in the bedroom.” He chuckled taking a sip of his cup.
“Excuse me?” You coughed “if I may remind you who’s castle you’re in. Alliance or not- that was disrespectful and low thoughted of you.” You looked away from the King and saw Jongin was in deep thoughts. This angered you- causing you to stand up and walk away with no goodbyes. Jongin chimed in as if on cue “ I think it’s best if you just stay for the royal party and then leave to Paris...” Jongin stood up and tried to chase after you.
Once he finally caught up to you he felt bad for not saying anything to him himself. “(y/n),” he called out yet you didn’t stop walking. “(Y/n) I’m sorry but why do you care so much of his word about a.... other?” He argued. As you walked into your private quarters together you snapped at him “Because it makes you look like as if you were really considering on a Mistress,” you backed away from his touch.
“Oh, my love... I would never,” Jongin was cut off as soon as you started to weep quietly. “My love...I would never do such a thing.” He runs to your side pulling you into his chest.

I figured that most post pandemic armys are taehyung biased cause before that i didn't even know about the existence of kths. Pjms were the majority. That's when they started pushing jimin in the back and giving more screentime to taehyung. If you told 2016-18 me that taehyung would be the most popular i wouldn't have believed it cause jimin's popularity was unmatched at the time.
I think OT7 fans usually like Jimin more? At least, I see him discussed by people who bias other members more, especially rapline stans. Jin stans don't particularly root for Jimin but they either really love or really really hate Taehyung lol. Taehyung's popularity is just inflated by solos, or OT2+kind of Taekookers. It's just noise on Twitter, there's no longevity to it. Even if the like ratio is off I think Jimin has steady fanbase beyond shipping to support him.
---
I just don't agree that Taehyung is the most popular. He's not the most talked about, the only ones who talk about him is army. If popularity means reaching big audiences, and I mean reaching in the sense that these audiences know and remember who you are and what you do, that's still Jimin.
I've also said it before and I'll say it again: I don't get why he's always being compared to Taehyung when Junkook is literally there. If any of them is competition to Jimin in any way, it would be Jungkook, not Taehyung. Because Jimin and JK at least can do the same things, whereas Taehyung can arguably sing but he can't dance at alll and he doesn't have that boyish cute innocent charm that both JK and Jimin have sometimes; and that's just scratching the surface on why Taehyung was never a competition to Jimin.
Talks of popularity when you're mostly popular within the fandom is kind of idiotic, and this goes for every member or any fandom or group. Because what are we basing popularity on, then? On who votes the most? If there's 100 people with 10 accounts each voting for you to win something, is it really popularity? If I vote more times than other fan, would that mean Jimin is more famous or acclaimed? No, it just means I voted more times.
Maybe voting would mean more if everyone could do it only time, no "cheating". Maybe then that would actually show who has 10 fans and who has 100.
Some years ago when jikook started having a lot of moments, taekookers just hated it and most of them moved on to other fandoms or "chose" Taehyung, but they had little to gloat about so their existence wasn't as obvious. Then in 2020 several things happened:
Dynamite was a huge success and there were more fans (solos or shippers or OT7) for all of the members
Things between vmin got kiiiind of tense in 2020 and it got increasingly obvious at the end of the year so pjms vs. kths started fighting all the time + ex tkrs still hated Jimin because of jikook so they finally had a "no ship" excuse to fight
So much fighting lead to a surge of kths solos who just wanted to fight other akgaes or shippers
Taekook fixed their "problems" and they started having so many moments and got paired up quite often, so all the ones who'd left in 2018/9 because taekook were quiet, came back in 2020 as taekook solos
And obviously Taehyung and JK stans don't fight each other that much because most of them are taekookers, and even if they aren't they still hate Jimin more, so it's understandable that they don't want to get into those vicious fights because they would inevitably end up saying shit about one or the other of the two they like.

ARES HEADCANONS WITH THE BOYS, AFTER THE BREAK
Some ARES (more like ot2/ot3/ot4 headcanons with Haizaki, Asuto, Nosaka and Nishikage) headcanons for @ozrockbitway (if i remember right dfljkghfdg it’s been long ago since we talked about it, I think??) and @producktions @someatsu @blueberry-pastel @suzunofuusuke @kirinoisbestboy @sinfonylanglader @therealruney @calmystorm-saltycandy (hope u dont mind the tag ^^’’) @shawn-and-aiden-frost-9 i guess if u wanted to read as well @mimirk63 ITS NOT YUUICHI but ya kno ;w;’’
i literally dont even know who else would care about these (mostly joke) headcanons so iM SOWWY if i like, dont tag some ppl ;;
also im sorry that these are like all over the place tho jfldghkfk
ANYWAY with that out of the way
1. so I was discussing about Nishikage baking and. i got it. Nishikage works @ Tasty part time. He makes ambitious creations. Nosaka enjoys watching the behind the scenes. (Asuto will eat anything he makes)
2. Asuto starts hanging around Nosaka and Nishikage thought this would be bad and that Yuuma would stop hanging out with him but is thankfully proven wrong as Asuto pretty much always invites both of them to hang out with him. Nishikage starts to 'adopt' Asuto as Nosaka's friend and feels the need to PROTECC him as well. they also become great friends and this eases Nishikage because Nosaka finally has someone to spend time with that can somewhat get him out of his shell. Related to #1, Asuto will bother Nishikage and ask him if he's cooked something new yet. Nishi is afraid to cook more things at first but is prompted by Asuto because THAT BOY will literally eat anything, bad or good.
3. Nosaka actually likes dry jokes but no one knows since nobody really likes dry jokes and doesn't make them. Asuto ends up with a book EXACTLY about dry jokes and he finds them interesting and funny but not as much as Nosaka, so when he uses one of those jokes it makes Yuuma laugh and it takes everyone by surprise (especially Nishikage)
4. Nosaka snorts when he laughs.
5. I see Asuto and Nosaka becoming friends before Asuto and Haizaki (even if they're acquaintances) Haizaki comes on later along.
6. Asuto is claustrophobic and that's how the ot3 friendship starts. He, Haizaki and Nosaka somehow end up stranded in somewhat of a locker and he starts freaking out. Despite the issues between Nosaka and Haizaki they don't like seeing the cheerful Asuto being scared like that. Asuto asks them to hold his hand and they reluctantly did that even if they didn't like being next to each other. After that incident Asuto was a bit more open around them and uses his 'persuasive' powers to get them to hang out with him.
7. Haizaki is the tallest, followed by Asuto and then Nosaka. Nosaka is a bit conscious about his height and even if Haizaki makes fun of him, Asuto reassures him and tells him its okay.
8. Nosaka would be really bad at portraying his feelings even if it's something simple or complicated so he makes really weird comparisons and nobody understands except Nishikage even if sometimes even he's wondering what's going on in his mind.
9. I originally planned Nosaka to be a Vegan but I don't wanna do that he's just been taught to always eat healthy because there was no other alternative. he sometimes sees Asuto stuffing his face with unhealthy (fast food/other) stuff and it confuses him because he's still like perfect and fit and he doesn't get it. With time Asuto makes him try things he wouldn't normally eat by himself and even if he doesn't eat that regularly, he'll sometimes accept Asuto's invitation to get things he hasn't tried before. He's really big on trying foreign food but maybe once every few months.
This is a lot of Nosaka fdkjghd im sorry i love him a lot AND I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT
10. One day Asuto's friends find him, Nosaka and Haizaki playing cards in his room (i think they'd keep the friendship hidden for a while don't ask me why). Norika would take a liking to Nosaka but not romantic. She ends up doing his nails or make up as a thing. He looks dashing with black polish. Haizaki has none of that and even if Nosaka is really :|  and stoic he'll pretty much go with anything.
11. this was like, a multiple headcanon thingy with @suzunofuusuke and @producktions alike
Nosaka is a heavy sleeper and Nishikage is the opposite. #Nosaka and Nishikage share a bed, fight me. Due to his past Nosaka has nightmares and moves a lot in his sleep so frequently he'll fall from the bed which'll make Nishi wake up and freak tf out because dfljkgf where's Yuuma?? and hes just sleeping on the floor
12. Nishi and Nosaka sometimes both stare at Asuto and how pure he is dfljghfdg like "damn Asuto's a nice friend"
i'll uh, try some Haizaki too since I've basically neglected him holy shit
13. Things get better with Akane and after Asuto basically has him talk things out with Nosaka, he becomes a lot less stressed and angry and finally starts to open up to Asuto, at least. He's a bit awkward at interacting outside the soccer field so it takes a bit of time to be comfortable around both of them, but Asuto always made it easy. He's still a bit intimidated by Nishikage though, even if he has no ill intentions towards Haizaki and they've even successfully hang out together alongisde the other two a few times. They share a love for spicy food.
14. HAIZAKI NEEDS GLASSES and he doesnt like wearing them but he's really cute in them. Asuto would always tell him that he looks cute in them and he wouldn't like it. Men aren't cute. Haizaki isn't cute!! >;C Nosaka would just quietly tell him that they look good on him nonetheless and he'd blush and say 'thanks' and thats their interaction okay #stolen from @someatsu
15. Haizaki has his ears pierced but nobody knows cuz of his long hair and that it's not allowed @ school. He likes to try out diff earrings in his spare time. Asuto catches him one day and never lets him hear the end of it but when they sometimes go walking around shop districts he'd loudly proclaim "Those would look real good on you, Haizaki!" when he'd see any cute earrings and such. poor Hai chan will try to hide from view at that. Nosaka chuckles. also stolen from @soatsuko w permission dw
16. starring guest hiro again with headcanons he shoved into my arms: Haizaki doesn't use social media because he doesn't see the point of it. Had Twitter once but got bored. likes baggy hoodies. probably has a collection of berets (this one's on @araiguma-koon)
17. @arbegagordon gave me an idea so Haizaki and Akane used to play Toontown so now that Akane isn't playing anymore, Haizaki still logs in but gets sad. Through some kind of unconventional means Asuto starts playing Toontown with him because he wants to make him happy and even if Hai chan won't admit it he's pretty happy that Asuto does this for him Nishihkage plays cooking mama Nosaka tries a lot of games but he gets bored fast because he thinks he's not good at them. He REALLY likes the pet games though. EDIT: I FORGOT. NOSAKA PLAYS ALICIA ONLINE AND NONE OF Y’ALL CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE. he likes collecting pets and clothes. he would defs cosplay his AO character omg
18. this was a collaboration of my ideas and @producktions and her analysis post basically she said that no one usually cheers for Nosaka SOOOOOOO, after Asuto finds that out he goes to all his matches and screams like fucking crazy for him and even if Nosaka won't show it he'll smile sometimes to himself because Asuto does this for him and expects nothing in return and just wants to see him smile and it’s OOF so pure
19. Asuto has both Nosaka and Haizaki merch. (you know, for support! Asuto is big on making his friends feel loved) They're both embarrassed by it and whatever they say they can't make him NOT wear it in public, as he's hanging out with THEM.

poly!2Jae
Requested: Nope
Pairing: GOT7 Jaebum x Youngjae x Reader
Genre: poly!au, normal/idolverse
Warnings: None
I am a slut for poly ships because I am in love with love and really couldn’t care less who it is between as long as it is healthy and happy for everyone in the relationship so here we go.
Also, I ship people, yes, but it is just for fun. Whether any idol gets into a relationship or not, I will support it fully as long as it isn’t an unhealthy relationship.
Tumblr media
onto the actual au now
this is one of my favourite ships
JB and Youngjae’s relationship is so adorable and nobody can deny that
I mean, Youngjae with anyone is adorable because he himself is just amazing and I love him and is my bias showing?
but this is about 2Jae and you
feel free to request any other poly ships though, for any group I write for ;)
I imagine that you had been friends with GOT7 for a while, getting to know them through Jackson, because Jackson is a social butterfly (ha get it? Jackson, butterfly, he has a song called papillon? I’ll see myself out…)
you become especially close to Youngjae and Jaebum, and lowkey you start to feel feelings that aren’t just platonic
but what? somebody having romantic feelings for more than one person? how can that be?
at least, that is what you think, so of course you just keep your changing feelings to yourself
all the while not knowing that the two boys in question were feeling the same way
before you became friends with them, the two were already feeling some sort of way about each other and then you came into the picture which just made it all grow more
and none of you were especially lowkey about it; Youngjae being a naturally affectionate person which intensified around the two of you and Jaebum showing a tiny bit of favouritism really made it obvious to the other boys
so of course lots of teasing came your way, especially from YugBam
and this made the situation into a sort of skinny love, where you are all aware of your feelings about each other but are all too nervous and scared to do something about it
it is Jaebum who decides to play the responsible leader and gathers the two of you together, which leads to confessions all around and a bit talk on boundaries, what you all feel comfortable with and all that good stuff
and would ya look at that, you have two amazing boyfriends
the first thing I want to say is that I hope you like being touched and if you don’t you better get used to it because these two boys love touching you
and no, not in a pervy way
I mean that one of them will always have their arms wrapped around you
JB has no chill when it comes to PDA
around the other members he will initiate make out sessions between you with no embarassment
Youngjae is a lot shyer when it comes to stuff like this
because while he will gladly give hugs and little pecks on yours and the leaders cheeks
he gets so flustered being on the receiving end
there is also a lot of hand holding
you’ll play rock paper scissors to see who gets to be in the middle, though JB usually gives up the spot to you or Youngjae, preferring to have one hand free to do the adulting stuff when you are all out and about
the same goes from when you are all in a car, though then it is always JB driving while you and Jae take turns in the front seat
of course, the relationship is not public
because sadly relationships that aren’t heterosexual or monogamous are still frowned upon
plus the fact that they are both idols, and some fans get crazy when their favourites date (which is really immature and silly imo but again not rant time)
so you rarely are out in public or on dates outside of the dorm
but they do happen
the good thing about going on a date as three is that people tend to assume that you are all just friends
usually though you just create a cuddle pile in front of a tv or laptop somewhere and watch movies
(as you can probably guess musicals and Disney are constantly popping up)
one of them will always be singing, usually Youngjae because we all know that he can’t or won’t stop showing off his heavenly vocals
karaoke dates are a regular thing
you three are even known by the staff of one local noraebang place you go there so often
(lowkey they both like to see if there are any got7 songs available and you can bet they’ll give you an ot2 mini convert if there are, in which Youngjae will always do Jackson’s parts)
Jaebum is definitely the most mature out of you three (though that does not mean he is in any way normal because we all know that that is not true)
he will be the one to sort out any problems and just be the responsible leader he is
however, he is also the most hotheaded
when fights occur, as they will do in any sort of relationship, he will never shout but will become very obviously frustrated, running his hands through his hair and his jaw doing the thing
(which has actually put a stop to a few of the smaller arguments because you and Youngjae can’t stop giggling at it and mimicking it which causes Beommie to soften)
Youngjae is usually the mediator between arguments, because he is a soft sensitive man who hates serious confrontation
he is also very self conscious, and so a couple of times has even started tearing up during fights, worried that he might lose the two of you
when you and Jaebum notice this the fight will immediately be forgotten about as you comfort Youngjae
the other boys are always teasing you three
the amount of fanservice they try to make 2Jae do is infinite
if you had 100 won for everytime Jackson and surprisingly Mark have made a threesome joke then you would be richer than the Queen of England
YugBam are always pretending to be disgusted whenever any of you show affection, and considering JB has no chill when it comes to you two he is constantly being teased for his hand in your back pockets or hickeys he has left on you
Jinyoung acts like a mother proud to see her kids so happy whenever you do anything cute
or, at least you are sure that is how he feels
because no matter how many judging looks he sends the three of you, you can see his lips turning up at the corners
basically, you three are the cutest and everybody (that knows) is jealous because you all fit so well together
and if you have ever seen 2Jae interacting you know just how adorable their relationship is
a kind of abrubt end but I really did not know how to end it. This has been in my drafts a while but I got inspiration to actually write it and get it out because watching cute ship videos on youtube is how I have spent these past few days coping.
Requests are open!

Onto Throné and Partitio now.
Throné
Love the aesthetic of Throné's home city, urbane and opulent and undeniably seedy in a way that reminds me of my own city. All that space isn't utilized much in gameplay (I want to see inside the theatre!)...but the first game was the same way with its large cities so I'm not surprised.
While sex work isn't a part of Throné's character like it was for Primrose, it does figure into her Chapter 1 when she has to dress like a brothel worker to sneak into a mark's house. I'm left wondering about the other two male assassins given the same job and how they snuck in, but I presume the answer isn't terribly relevant given they both die pretty quickly.
Said two assassins start with Throné as guest party members, but by the time she has to kill one of them after he's killed the third she's on her own. At least she's not so squishy (or the boss so strong) that that's too challenging of a fight.
Not sure how I feel about the early reveal that the "Mother" and "Father" Throné is setting out to kill are not her actual parents, but rather that's just the names they go by in the crime syndicate they lead. It makes the whole situation hover awkwardly between dysfunctional family drama and...something that isn't that.
I couldn't resist this time and did a little exploring after the chapter ended, making my way as far as the area where Temenos starts. After leaving the starting areas you can toggle between day and night with one button press, which is odd seeing NPCs pop in and out of position but still undeniably convenient. The tutorial says that there are stronger enemies that give better rewards at night, which would explain why there are more night-related than day-related buffs among the characters.
Partitio
Would appear to be this game's silly accent à la H'aanit, but here it's a broad western US accent which is at least one that actually exists.
This is another Chapter 1 that experiments with structure, with three time skips chronicling the boom and bust and second boom of the Wild West-esque silver-mining town where Partitio grows into adulthood. It's decently affecting (if you can overlook the ridiculous accents) although the turnaround after you fight the boss happens fairly quickly and there's still the lingering question of the devaluation of silver, but this series isn't really known for stretching out its localized plots that long anyway.
I did note the use of cigarettes in Osvald and Throné's stories, and now Partitio's introduces the steam engine which we saw in the trailers. The world of OT2 feels more 19th century as a result...although it still lacks firearms which really stands out in this particular story.
This is the first opening I've played with no guest characters, although Partitio gets to hire NPCs to be part of his posse (read: in-battle summons). Fortunately he's decently tanky, so he doesn't need the permanent help.
The main antagonist of this story - and by that I mean human antagonist, not Partitio's determination to fix poverty with capitalism - is fairly confusing, and I expect there's going to be a big motivation dump down the line.
There's a tutorial blurb at the end about Partitio's unique "Scent of Commerce" feature, which isn't available in the demo but appears to be leading him to any of three towns on the map. Supposedly this is totally separate from his regular chapters...I wonder how that's going to work.

Chapter Three:
Hey did you think Cunningsworth is a big city? Get ready for Whitecrux
Sitting pretty at the very centre of the Hearthlands, this thing is a metropolis
It’s very much in the same vein as Cunningsworth though: lots of back alleys that make for a much better path to the university than the main roads
Additionally, there’s some kind of really dumb roadblock on the main road. The stupider the better.
Tyrri makes it through the back alleys with little issue before reaching the university, and sitting in the highest tower is Headmaster Tasslemore
He’s a much older man than Professor Elber, much more classic wizard-looking (rather than Elber who was wearing basically just a tweed jacket, this game exists around the same time as OT2 because suits in a fantasy setting are fun)
He asks to see the water samples, and after a little bit of looking, comes to two conclusions
One: the non-elemental magic in the water appears to be biological in origin
Two: the filaments that make up the crystals very closely mimic the muscles in the heart
He says that he’s going to take the rest of the day to look further into it so he can draft up a preliminary report, and sends Tyrri away
He isn’t very fun. Not that I care.
The road is still blocked so Tyrri takes the back alleys again
Something bad finally happens to the university student walking alone in alleys as a pair of people try to steal her messenger bag (which has all of her notes and equipment)
Fight ensues, the two assailants are notably casters
After thoroughly trouncing the duo, Tyrri demands to know why they would go after a research student of all people
She’s broke as hell and her equipment matches that
They explain that they’re independent researchers and are just completely starved for gear
Why not go to the university? They look around that age and it would be a crime to make schooling so unaffordable that people straight-up couldn’t take courses
Like, no one would be awful enough to not at least have a basics course at a cheaper price
Well you’re not gonna believe this but
The duo leave her alone after it becomes clear that they’re no match for her
Tyrri is NOT sleeping good that night. Something something her black-and-white view of the world being challenged by the idea that a person who helped her being bad actually
In spite of the fact that she was supposed to go bright and early to head to the university she returns back to the place the duo almost mugged her because what they said is messing her up
She returns to find them in the same place and starts talking things out
Their names are Willie and Dante, they’re brothers, and their parents moved to the Hearthlands from the Deltalands in hope of better education for their sons
 The University of Whitecrux, in addition to its many other descriptors, is also hellishly expensive to get into
Tyrri is pissed but refuses to explain why, stares at a wall silently for a bit, and then says that she’s going to go beat the everliving shit out of the headmaster
Willie and Dante are free to tag along and do so gladly
As the three march into the university, a guard spots them
“INTRUDER ALERT. THOSE DAMN KIDS ARE BACK.”
“Guys what did you do.”
“Yeah we may or may not have tried to pull the same trick we did on you, on the university.”
With that delightful bit of dumbassery that most certainly should have been brought up beforehand, we jump into…
The Third (technically second) Dungeon: University of Whitecrux
You’d think that you already explored here but you’re WRONG
The first time Tyrri came here it jumped to a cutscene as soon as you opened the door and cut straight to her entering the headmaster’s office (jokes about it being too many stairs for her 4’11” twig frame ensue, she SMALL)
The enemies here are exclusively elementals paired with a single spellcaster, and armoured guards
Why does a university have armoured guards on its payroll? Don’t ask me. Ask the headmaster.
It’s fairly linear, just heading up and up towards the top of the tower
Definitely lots of hidden goodies to find like in Professor Elber’s office; there are going to be side quests here later on
Tyrri continues her streak of having real shitty dungeons because I truly have nothing to say about this
It’s a university with a bigass tower on it. What else do you want me to tell you.
Opening the doors to the headmaster’s office once more, a verbal spat breaks out
Headmaster Tasslemore demands to know why Tyrri would do this, Tyrri can easily explain as much
She was a street kid growing up, but she was able to scrounge and save enough from an early age and get schooling, work her ass off for scholarships, and get into the University of Cunningsworth (UoC is like. The Qamarian standard for how expensive a university should be. Its still too high but its closer to reasonable than THIS)
It was a truly awful time and she wouldn’t wish it upon anyone, even if they had tried to rob her the day before (quick glance back at Willie and Dante)
Headmaster Tasslemore. Does not like that. He does not like that the preliminary report he had drafted up had been for one of those rats
The natural thing to do? Throw it out the window. One of the siblings is thankfully able to intercept him before he can do that but some magic-enhanced keep away ensues
The room steaming with rage on both sides, we leap into…
and because tumblr is. i dont know stupid or homophobic or something it's not letting me send the full thing. stay tuned.
the roadblock on the main road is that there’s a single cat sleeping in the middle of the road and there’s a huge crowd of people gathered around it just. watching it
also I’m understanding the ‘classic wizard’ vibes from tasslemore. you really put him in a wizard tower huh.
ALSO tyrri learning that the university is stupidly expensive to get into and IMMEDIATLY deciding she’s going to go beat the shit out of tussle more is absolutely perfect. I love her more than I already did
and ooo cliffhanger!!!
