#but in the show once upon a time it's a mesh of crossovers

[crazychicke]

Penelope x Colin as Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid & Merida from Brave, also based on my OUAT fairytales here (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x)

mannnn a buffy the vampire slayer / supernatural crossover would be so good idk why the idea isn't more frequently explored online.

like- the shows have a similar premise, with a similar handling of lore. obviously things don't line up exactly, but that works out too, because both also have regular mentions of alternate universes and dimensions! it's perfect!

plus, the core character lineups would mesh pretty well together, and i could really see dean and buffy specifically butting heads to begin with, but eventually really getting along. they'd be able to bounce off one another's quips. and i think xander would also get along with him pretty well.

willow and sam would have a lot in common, too, what with them both being clever nerds who went to the dark side once upon a time.

but overall i just think the scoobies and the winchesters would really click with one another. there are enough parallels and lore similarities that there'd be plenty of common ground, and the characters personalities i feel would have really entertaining chemistry. and they'd all be pretty close in age, which doesn't matter too much, but i think is a neat coincidence,

there are so many ways it could play out, the possibilities are pretty much endless! maybe buffy and co chase a demon through a portal or something, and end up teaming up with the brothers to track it down. or maybe there's some weird convergence of realities, and the two groups run into one another while independently trying to set things right, and they try to brush each other off and take over the case, but have to work together in the end and accept help.

i dunno, i just feel like the way both shows handle characterization, along with their mystery-based formats, would just combine together into a really fun story. a crossover episode of sorts just makes sense, had btvs not ended a few years before spn started

muddle along or: the Pokemon / TMA crossover I’ve been promising @speakerunfolding for AGES jonmartin early S4

Jon considers the knapsack left for him.

Exhaustion is already feasting on any clarity he might have obtained in the near quiet. His body stiff, unused to the casual labour of his bones. The storage room, its shelves overburdened, the air vents popping like cracked knuckles, has gained nothing in his absence except a resurgence of dust and, in a dismal corner, a pile of boxes and a suitcase. A pathetic truncated shrine to his thirty odd years of living.

They moved his possessions here, when his rent went unpaid, when his water bills and council tax and internet payment reminders piled up like demanding snowdrift on his mucky welcome mat. Mutely, he glances over the hastily sellotaped boxes that now form his packaged-up life with all the distance that six months of bad dreams have afforded him.

He wonders who packed up his kitchenware, despairing at the mismatched cutlery harvested from student halls and charity-shop finds; clucked their teeth at the bread freckling mouldy in the barren landscape of his fridge; folded his clothes neatly into the suitcase he always kept stuffed under his unmade bed, even pairing up his socks; who took the books off his shelves in the belief he might thumb through them again one day.

He wonders if it was Martin.

Basira gave him the knapsack some hours ago. When he’d found some semblance of normalcy in the dull weight of a sandwich coating his stomach, dressed in clothes that now hang like rags off a coat hanger, sat at the table in the otherwise empty staff room with the heat of a cup of tea cactus-prickling his palms.

“He asked if you’d look after them,” she’d said. The strap of the bag held securely in the jaw of her Absol. “While he’s – well, you know…” She waves an exasperated done-with-it hand that manages to express a multitude of emotions that refract and merge like the morphing shades of a bruise. “Doing whatever the hell it is he’s doing. Or he thinks he’s doing.”

Jon wishes he knew.

He sits cross-legged in front of the storage room door, a sharp-boned barricade, thrumming like a struck tuning fork with the thought that even here, he will not be safe.

Gardevoir is a heavy weight against his shoulder. She’s quieter than he remembers, solemn and sombre in her new form. She used to demand being lifted up when she was Ralts, her flat red horns digging into his chest and leaving impressions, scrabbling down to shelter half-behind his legs when strangers approached. He left for the Unknowing and she’d been Kirlia, her face set and her cries insistent and infuriated, trying to push her Pokeball into his hand to make him bring her with them. Tim hadn’t asked where she was, when they all piled into the rental car, Houndoom taking up one of the seats in the back but snarling when Basira suggested putting her in her ball.

Jon doesn’t know when she evolved. It pains him, a dull-knife strike of thought, another wave against his tide-bashed flood barriers, to have slept through such a moment in her life when every other milestone they shared together.

“Now is a good a time as any, I suppose?” he asks her. His voice traces above a whisper. His Abra has calmed now, drained down from a difficult and teary reunion, and is now breathing deep and slow, curled into the port of his crossed legs. His three-fingered hands are still clenching the fabric of Jon’s shirt.

Gardevoir nods. Then gives him a nudge and a look when it seems as though he’s stalling, when he must be bleeding out apprehension like watercolours seeping through paper.

“Can’t get anything past you now, huh,” he says. She smiles, fond and he manages a short smile back, and it is almost, almost like it was before.

The bag is old, its original function probably for a laptop of some kind. The plasticky outer skin of it has rubbed away, flaking to mesh at the edges, the piping worn down to wires. Jon folds back the front of the bag, and inside there are four Pokeballs, the basic and cheapest red-and-white models. Jon had worked a thankless summer job at a beach-side amusement arcade to save up the money to get Ralts a customised ball, and had done similar when Abra came along a few years later.

To the side of the Pokeballs, ziplocked and labelled, there is a small forest of freezer bags bulging with berries and treats and care equipment. In a plastic pocket, there are precisely written instructions pertaining to each Pokemon and their requirements, and Jon’s throat tightens unexpectedly to see Martin’s looping joined-up handwriting, to see words that seem penned by someone who doesn’t expect to be coming back.

Gardevoir makes a low noise next to him. Her arm alighting on his, a solid weight, grounding. Jon clears his throat and takes out the Pokeball nearest the top, pushing the button on the front so the size balloons to fill his palm.

Most people have one Pokemon, maybe two, unless they’re involved in competitive breeding and training. When Abra came along, he remembers his gran remarking on the upkeep, how it would be his responsibility to feed and care for and train them, and it hadn’t been the cheapest venture but Jon had born the expense gladly.  It doesn’t surprise him that Martin has amassed so many in comparison to the norm.

At lunch one day years ago, the weather nipping frost-touched, they’d sat outside a cramped cafe because there’d been no seats indoors, and Martin had confessed that he was always taking them in. Thinking back, Jon knows that Martin was attempting to keep the conversation buoyant, coaxing him away from deeper, darker waters. Jon remembers being irritated, sore-eyed with sleeplessness, his spine strung with paranoia.

“My lost causes, Mum called them,” Martin had said, and his voice had tried for a levity that landed without cushioning. He’d torn off a bit from the end of his panini to feed a hopeful-looking Pidove pecking expectantly around their feet. The cause of the conversational turn, Martin’s newest acquisition, had sat grumpily mewling on the other man’s knee, wriggling and sniping as he tried to feed them some medication he’d got from the vet. Despite himself, Jon had been distracted from miring thoughts of Gertrude by watching Martin’s charade unfold, the man making a show of giving up with a theatrical sigh to scratch the Nidoran behind the ears in a show of defeat, being careful of their spikes. The Nidoran had headbutted his hand whenever his motions slowed to stopping, and Martin had used the distraction to fold a chorizo slice he’d pulled from his panini around the pill, which the Nidoran had happily snaffled from his fingers, gulping it down before returning to demand affection.

“They’ll be all healed up within the week,” Martin had continued, plastering over the continued lull with his chattering. “I’ve taken in a few Nidorans before, they tend to be pretty hardy.” He had scratched under the Nidoran’s chin as his words ebbed with the nudging of an undemanding tide.

Jon had picked at his sandwich as Martin had fold him about hiding Pidgeys and Swablus in an old shoebox under his bed, lined with the nesting material of some of his t-shirts donated to the cause. A chipped-edge bowl borrowed from the kitchen brimming with water and his own early team of Pokemon keeping them company while their wings healed in their splints before they were strong enough to leave again.

These four Pokeballs in the knapsack aren’t just random strays. They’re Martin’s Pokemon. The ones that never left him, the ones that he’s raised and doted upon and taken worriedly to the Pokecentre over every cough and sniffle and fever.

And for the meantime, they’re Jon’s.

Jon presses the release button on the first ball.

There is a chittering surprised coo as an Oddish materialises in a buzz of light and reforming matter.  They reform to stand a little higher than Jon’s ankle, only to fold their leaves half over their eyes at the unkindness of the halogen strip light. They totter when they take a step, tumbling to sitting with an affronted noise before, with a determined heft, they rock themselves up to standing again. Jon’s seen Martin’s Oddish before, approaching every walk around the assistant’s office space like a tightrope. Tim had bought them a little plant pot as a novelty Christmas gift once, and they’d unironically loved it, hopping into it cosily and getting specks of soil all over Martin’s desk.

Their leaves are poked through with ragged little holes, like they’ve been nibbled away, the green tinged in places to a sickly yellow. In the bag there is a vial of luminous blue medicine, complete with dropper and application instructions. It’s a stress thing, he dimly remembers Martin had once explained to him. It’s like an eczema, of a sort, that afflicts Grass-types, but it affects Oddish’s balance when it flares up.

The Oddish looks at Jon. They don’t have a neck as such, so they lean their whole bulb-like body backwards on their stumpy legs to study Gardevoir, who gives a reassuring blink. They glance around the storage room and its uninspired treasures of boxes and the unpromisingly weak-seeming metal frame of the cot, with a fretful shake of their leaves. They’re expecting to see someone else.

“Hello,” Jon says. He clears his throat, attempting to present a friendly face, to avoid the grimace he senses forming at his discomfort, his presentation to a critical audience that is already finding him wanting. “I’m… well, I’m Jon. You’ve probably seen me before, I’m um… I’m a f-friend of Martin’s. He’s, well, he’s not here at the moment. But he asked me to look after you. While he’s – he’s away.”

Oddish blinks their beady round red eyes. Their leaves wave uncertainly with the lazy swish of palm fronds. They coo again, a longer sound, plaintive and stretched out in melancholy. They take the opportunity to look around again, a full-body swivel that has them unbalanced, but Gardevoir leans down with a careful hand to steady them upright.

Jon watches them amble off to study their surroundings. Every so often crying out in a searching noise. Gardevoir keeps an eye on them as they rootle around in one of the boxes they can reach.

The next few releases are equally unsuccessful. Skitty reforms only to barrel under the cot as a pink-and-white blur, slinking further back with his tail swishing furiously whenever Jon addresses him. One undamaged ear twitches anxiously. The next Pokemon fails to materialise at all, refusing to leave their ball.

This was a mistake. Martin should have known better, known him enough to see that he would be no good at this, his skills in offering comfort atrophied. He can barely take care of himself, these days. Never mind additional charges who are scared, who need reassurance that is rendered rusty in his throat.

He reaches out to cradle the last ball in his cupped palms. He knows who is inside. The youngest of Martin’s acquisitions, and as far as Jon was aware, full-on adverse to getting inside a Pokeball. Their favoured mode of travel was Martin, using him as a climbing frame while he attempted to work, kicking their little feet against his forehead, clinging giggly to his mop of hair to get a better view, squealing shrill and disruptive and delighted when Martin would playfully shake his head to rock them. He thinks with the uncertainty that memory offers him, that Sasha had loved them, lifted them and pretending to throw them while they chattered and babbled, snuck them berries when Martin wasn’t looking. Jon has paid ear to more than one lecture from Martin on nutrition and proper feeding times and sugar levels. They might have played with Sasha’s own Pokemon, like they had tottered after Houndour’s short and wagging tail when she was out of her ball, like they had ran after Skitty to join in games, but that memory has been scratched from recollection like initials scored out of tree bark.

They were by nature vocal, rambunctious, unthinking and unheedful of danger, a child really, and Martin had been forever apologising when Jon would find them where they weren’t meant to be, carrying them back cautiously and carefully to Martin’s fretful hands. He thinks Martin had thought that they had irritated him. It hadn’t been that. They had been so small, smaller than they should have been for their species, the runt of some litter abandoned or lost by their parent or cracked and emerging blinking from their egg over-early. They had been so curious, and the world of the archives had grown increasingly unsafe around them. Jon had worried, in his own poorly expressed way.

He presses the button, and aims at the ground. Martin’s Togepi manifests in a fizz of red light and sound crackling like champagne.

They turn around with a confused noise.

Jon gets the chance to voice an awkward, low-pitched ‘hello’ before they take one look at him and their face clenches upset, breath starting to bubble with sobs.

“Oh, oh, nonono, hey,” Jon says, scooping them up into his hands. Abra is dislodged, wakes up startled and teleports a few feet away with a ‘pop’ of displaced air. “It’s… nonono, shush, it’s alright.”

Big messy tears fall out of screwed up eyes. Hitching sobs lengthen into wails. Jon looks frantically at Gardevoir as he rocks and shushes the bawling Pokemon against his chest in a way Martin was so much better at.

Martin would know what to do, what to say. How all this could work out for the best. But Martin isn’t here.

Jon’s own eyes dampen.

“Shshshsh,” he croaks thickly. “It’s – it’s going to be alright. I’ve got you.”

He uses the sleeve of his shirt to wipe away the worst of the tears. He strokes the top of Togepi’s head.

“It’s going to be alright,” Jon repeats.

Many hours later, Jon wakes up, cotton-mouthed and his back vengeful for the position he’s slept in. His legs, still crossed, have degraded to numbness that he’ll pay for as soon as he wants to stand. In his lap, he sees the matryoshka doll set up that’s occurred, Togepi exhaling with little whistling breaths into Abra’s chest, Abra’s face planted against Jon’s shirt. Skitty has emerged from his defensive fort under the cot to coil into a ball of heat, curled up in the crook of Abra’s overhanging tail. Gardevoir is half-awake in that dozing but alert way she has, and she must have turned off the light in the room because it’s dark except for the emergency glow from the fire-exit sign that casts the walls and floor in an unsettling green. Jon sees the husk of an opened Pokeball, the shadow of something small and yellow crouched on Gardevoir’s shoulder, and something inside him eases, just a little bit.

Oddish is looking up at him from the floor. Jon moves the only hand he has that’s not squashed under Abra, and when he sets it down they alight with an unsteady gait and he transfers them to the higher terrain of his knee. He rubs a careful finger along their leaves until they sit, their head nodding as they struggle to stave off sleep, although they still glance around with uncertain eyes.

The room has dropped colder. Oddish shivers along with Jon.

“I know,” Jon says. “I miss him too.”

Heya!! I actually just found your blog and I would like to say how amazing your writing it! Aaaa it's so cute and you seem very sweet!! <3

I came here to ask for a idv match up! I'm a female, she/her, I'm bi but I do have a preference towards men. Also, I don't mind a survivor or hunter!! Whatever you feel like atm dear. I'm very energetic when you get me in the right mood!! I love baking and editing! I also quite like photography. I'm a very loving person but can get cold if I feel bad so it's a bad habit TwT. I do give lots of compliments to people and it may seem like i like them but I just really like pointing out nice things about people. I love hugs and kisses especially!! I love it if my s/o could give me attention but not too much yknow? Like i want them to be happy with their life with me and their life outside of our relationship. Umm I hope that's enough!! Thank you for making your blog! It is very nice!! You're doing great!! I appreciate you <3 (ps. Make sure to eat and drink enough~)

Thank you for caring about my health dearie~ Honestly,, I could also say the same for you..(｡･ω･｡)

And I'm quite glad that you enjoy reading my blog posts! It means quite a lot for me whenever I hear people enjoying my blog as much as I enjoy writing them..( ´ ▽ ` )

After much thinking,, I've decided to match you up with...

Joseph Desaulnier!!📷

Let's first address the big elephant in the room: Photography..（・∀・）

Since the both of you love photography,, I can most *definitely* imagine you two taking pictures of scenery found in the manor..

As well as *some* of the silly things that happen outside of matches.. Although,, it's more on your end than Joseph's..

However,, I must also remind you that you WILL be bombarded with questions partaining to your "equipment"..(｡･ω･｡)

Whether it'd be a modern HD camera or your smartphone,, it's safe to assume that Joseph will be VERY much curious about these "equipment" that you have brought from the "future" ((even though we call it anything *but* from the future..))

"Are you telling me that this camera of yours can capture pictures instantly??? With just a simple press of a button??? Then, does that mean you won't have to stand for long periods of time to take your picture???"

((Fun fact: the first cameras that were patented require you to stand for long periods of time to take your picture which explains why plenty of the pictures during the Victorian Era were people staying in one position like standing..))

"This "smartphone" can ALSO capture pictures?? Would you mind showing me how, ma chérie??"

"The quality of the pictures are ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! From what time period must you be to access this kind of machinery, ma chérie???"

I highly suggest that you study your equipment thoroughly because Joseph *will* be asking questions about your photography equipment..

Well,, that and Joseph will *literally* fumble with *every* single nook and cranny of said equipment where he might actually break something on accident..

Which is rare for the gentlemanly and disciplined Joseph,, however we ARE talking about one of his biggest passions here..╮(─▽─)╭

Another topic here that is perhaps connected somehow is editing!!（⌒▽⌒）

Joseph is quite astonished when you told him one time that photos can be tweaked from your time period..

Now, on one hand,, he is amused as he sometimes *does* struggle with getting the perfect picture when the environment around him just isn't having it..

But he also can't fathom the idea of people actually editing their photos so much that sometimes,, the unedited version looks far too different than the edited version...

When I say that,, I specifically mean people who probably use photoshop just a *bit* too much..(^_^;)

Not that there is anything wrong about it as everyone knows.. After all,, sometimes we just use it solely for entertainment by making weird, abstract collages of people..

((Like photoshopping a bunch of characters from different fandoms to make some sort of crack-crossover movie poster..╮(─▽─)╭))

It just that Joseph prefers less edited photos as he believes that a photo can shine on it's own when it's taken skillfully..

((Another fun fact: Based from what I can gather, the French in the 1800s preferred a more natural look, which is evident by their choices in makeup like powder for the face or some simple rouge for the lips and cheeks.. Of course,, we are excluding the hair as we all know that big, elaborate wigs were all the rage in this era..))

In fact,, he might even throw a *little* shade towards photos that are super edited...(◎_◎;)

Pls tell him to calm down and not insult people who do something similar to that.. It'll only escelate and get worse in the future..

Okay,, now that we've discussed those, I think we shall head on over to other things, don't you think??（・∀・）

Another reason as to why I paired you with Joseph is because of your upbeat and loving energy!!（〜^∇^)〜🧡

Joseph's life before the manor was already pretty gloomy, and it hasn't really improved when he got into the manor..

So your very energetic and affectionate nature will surely bring in some lost warmth to his life!!（＞ｙ＜）

Although,, please be patient with him for at least a little while.. After all, him *suddenly* receiving love and attention is a bit overwhelming for him to process all at once..╮(─▽─)╭

When he *does* gets used to it, he appreciates it very much..(∩_∩)

With that being said however,, he is still quite disciplined about the time that you two spend together AND the time that you two spend seperately from each other so you won't have to worry about having your boundaries being meshed together..（・∀・）

On the topic of affections,, Joseph will actually be a bit shocked to hear you dish out compliments to everyone in the manor.. And quite frankly,, as well as everyone else that you complimented

((Listen,, we're talking about the Victorian Era,, where modesty is highlighted as a core value..))

I'll be honest in saying that for a split-second,, Joseph *might've* actually thought of you as a flirtatious person

So when you explained to him that that's just how you are and that you just like to point out nice things about other people,, he's confused..(^_^;)

"Wait, but you complimented Mike's juggling act. Shouldn't that mean that you would like to court him??"

"Didn't you tell Victor that you thought he was sweet?? Pardon me for asking this, but are you... Interested in him, ma chérie?"

You're going to have to explain to him that just because you like a certain aspect of a person,, that doesn't mean you actually like them AS A WHOLE...

He may or not have demanded that you bake for him the next time that you two will have your afternoon tea together..(⌒_⌒;)

It's his "apology gift" as he puts it...

Okay,, I know I said that Joseph absolutely appreciates your loving side,, but he also *adores* your more "colder" side..

And no,, it's not because he's a masochist..(｡･ω･｡)

See, as much as Joseph relishes in the feeling of protecting someone he cares/loves.. Even he can admit that sometimes,, it gets too exhausting when your partner is the *literal definition* of a walking doormat..

I don't know about you,, but I kind of picture Joseph as someone who wants to have a partner that, at the *very least*,, can stand on their own two feet.. It gives Joseph a sense of pride,, see???

In conclusion,, I personally think that you and Joseph would work wonders for each other!! Different in your personalities, but united through the same common interest of photography.. I'd say its a decent balance of "opposites attract" and "similarities attract"..

🎞📷🎞📷🎞📷🎞📷🎞📷🎞📷🎞📷🎞📷

Author's note: On the topic of people photoshopping the heck out of their photos.. DON'T HARRASS/BULLY/INSULT THEM PLEASE!!! I will be blunt in saying that I frankly do not care whatever your intentions were, because when you strip said intentions away from the grand scheme of things,,

All that's left is a situation where someone insulted/bullied/harassed another person just for editing their photos a bit too much..

And when you put it like that,, wouldn't you agree that it sounds idiotic? Because in all honesty, it is..(¬_¬) After all,, those photos won't be affecting you much in the long run now,, would they??

And even if you said that you did it with good intentions, the way you acted upon these "intentions" was poorly done when it could've been handled *much* more efficiently...

So in short,, pls don't harrass anyone that you know that does these to their photos, it's not only for their sake but also yours..( ´ ▽ ` )

I apologize for ranting like that,, however I feel as though these types of situations are completely meaningless AND avoidable had it not been for the people that continue to stick their fingers into others' honeyjars.. So I personally as though it needs to be said.. Again, sorry if this rant is a bit unsettling and a bit "rough on the edges"..(⌒_⌒;)

Well that's about it.. Until next time,, I'll see you all in my next post!!ヾ(＠^∇^＠)ノ💚

[oveliagirlhaditright]

This is probably a strange question since KH is already a crossover in and of itself, but... KH-Crossovers you'd love? XD Not limited to Disney or any medium in particular btw :)

Fun question!

Hmm... Off the top of my head? Things that I love, because I’m selfish like that. Haha. Something like Inception comes to mind (and I’ve actually written a KH and Inception crossover. Though it would never entirely work out, but shh). But they lend themselves well to each other. Mainly because DDD was clearly inspired by Inception. What?

The Mortal Instruments, Percy Jackson, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as I think all three of them would mesh well with KH. Also, Dark Angel (and a lot of Fox shows, like Dark Angel and Tru Calling), because again with the selfishness. Also, Fox movies. More on some of that later.

Edit: ABC shows, like Alias and LOST, as they’re mystery box stories like KH.

W.I.T.C.H. Gargoyles too, though I barely remember it.

Kilala Princess, probably. And perhaps Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey (at least the villain from it would be great for KH).

I know there are some companies out there who have adapted fairytales that Disney already has. And it would be cool to see their take on them in KH. In my Namiku multi-chapter story--that I’ll sadly never finish--this was going to be a thing. There was something wrong with Kingdom Hearts, so the characters would go to a world and be like, “Wait... I know this is supposed to be Cinderella’s world, but something is off about it.” But that could also work with things like Once Upon a Time and the new Disney live-action movies.

That being said: Once Upon a Time.

National Treasure... that could actually potentially be in KH (as a few on these list could be), but I doubt it ever will be. So I might as well include it. Enchanted, too.

Phantom of the Opera or Phantom of the Megaplex. Preferably the former.

Some DCOMS Pixel Perfect and Disney Channel shows, tbh. Kim Possible!

I think people, like Shire Folk, who have written the characters with Digimon are on point.

Things like Soul Eater... and probably other animes, Square Enix made or not.

Syfy Alice, because it’s my favorite version of Alice in Wonderland.

Pokémon. Because I think Ash and Sora have a lot in common, of course (perhaps also Misty and Kairi, and somewhat SoKai and Pokeshipping). And because, as weird as it is to say... in the first game, where they made a big deal about the Keyblade choosing its master and choosing Sora (and it was very much sentient), the bond that Sora made with his Keyblade (that eventually chose him over Riku) somewhat reminded me of Ash and Pikachu’s journey. To a lesser extent, of course. But still.

Square Enix worlds...

I don’t think I want a “Beauty and the Beast & the Enchanted Christmas” world per se, but I want a Forte boss fight, somehow and some way.

Winx Club.

A crossover with Clamp could be interesting. Especially since Tsubasa and KH are so similar.

I’m down for the Muppets and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to be cameos.

Anastasia and Titan A.E.

Tales of Vesperia or something? Just because I once made a manip of Estelle and Naminé together, and someone commented that that wasn’t a bad crosier idea and I kind of agreed?

It would never happen in a million years, for so many reasons, but A Song of Ice and Fire could be interesting. They’re both fantasy theories that keep you guessing, with a lot of theory crafting in both.

People have often theorized what KH would be like if it had been Nickelodeon or something. LOL People say “Spongebob would have taken on Mickey’s role”, and I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing what could be done with a Nickeloden crossover, a Cartoon Network one, or what have you.

Grimm’s Fairytales, maybe? Or even the show Grimm? -shrugs-

I could maybe give the Star Wars, Marvel, and Indiana Jones ideas a try...

Roswell?

Tenchi could be interesting... The sword from that/Master Key reminds me of the Keyblade, somewhat.

Madoka Magica?

Sabrina: The Teenage Witch? I have no freaking clue. But I’ve been rewatching episodes of that show on some week nights lately, so it’s on my mind.

Firefly could probably work, and I am trying to write that. And parts of Dollhouse would lend itself beautifully to KH.

Oh. Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Danny Phantom.

People have been saying stuff like Naruto for years, and I agree.

I also wouldn’t say no to DC. I once wrote a Smallville and KH crossover once, but that was wish-fulfillment. I don’t know how much it would actually work. Haha.

Static Shock. Teen Titans and/or Young Justice. Batman Beyond.

I’m also someone who thinks a High School Musical could work, and would like to see it. XD. I once wrote a KHxHSM crossover, and at least one reviewer seemed to think I handled it pretty well. So it can be done, imo. .

..Maybe even things like Boy Meets World, even though it shouldn’t work. But ever since the fandom joked that Jason Marsden will be announced for KH, and then the fandom will war over whether he’s voicing Max Goof, Noel Kreiss, or Kovu, and I added on that, “You guys are forgetting Eric’s friend on Boy Meets World. Don’t forget that Boy Meets World is Disney owned”, I’ve weirdly been thinking of Boy Meets World in KH. Mostly as a joke. But meh.

Perhaps “I am Number Four”...

Oh! Harry Potter! Duh! People have been doing that for years, and it works.

People have also written Fullmetal Alchemist/KH crossovers, I think. And I haven’t seen FMAB yet (for shame, I know. It’s been on my list for ages, and hopefully I’ll get to it soon), from what I know of it, I love the idea.

The Kingdom Keepers series would probably be good for KH, even though I haven’t read it yet. Descendants?

Phineas and Ferb!

I’ll just add Sailor Moon, because. Actually, you know what? Sailor Pluto’s staff was pretty much the first Keyblade. So it works and works well.

And why am I now imagining things like NCIS and Castle? IDK.

Hocus Pocus!

And can we get Rinoa in the series, already?

Wizards of Waverly Place. Maybe not as a world, but something. I think that exploring what went wrong with Jerry, Kelbo, and Megan’s relationship could be a good warning for Sora, Riku, and Kairi, perhaps. And there are other things you could, too. To a lesser extent: Phil of the Future and That’s So Raven. Again, they probably wouldn’t work as worlds (maybe cameos). But I think there are interesting things there the games could use. Like, “Oh, you can time travel, Xehanorts? Well, let me hop in my friends’ the Diffy’s time machine and beat you at your own game.” Or, “You can see the future Master of Masters, so can my friend Raven.”

Doctor Who.

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.

Moana.

This is everything that I can think of right now...

I also think it would be fun to add in little cameos, like Proud Snacks from the Proud Family.

Edit: I want Max Goof in this series.

Edit 2: Oh! The Swan Princess and Quest for Camelot!

Edit 3: Hanna Barbara and Paramount’s monster movies could be a good idea.

Edit 4: Studio Ghibli!

I love your crossovers stories. You did things I had never considered before with Ladybug. Can I ask what other crossovers are you considering? And what crossovers you just won't do?

Thank you for readings my fics. I’m actually running out of ideas crossover wise. First thing I realized with the Ml fandom is that it is remarkably easy to crossover with nearly every other superhero/comics. But its getting hard to find a unique angle.

Fandoms I’m currently considering

Arrowverse and all subsequent DC shows on the CW

Vampire diaries/The Originals/Legacies

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Gilmore Girls (I don’t know why but I think it would be hilarious)

Sherlock

Doctor Who

Teen Wolf

Once Upon a Time

Xmen

The covenant

Charmed

Roswell (The original show, not the reboot)

Percy Jackson and anything by Rick Riordan

Princess Diaries (the books and the movies)

 Fandoms I thought about doing for one second before I crossed that idea out forever:

Game of Thrones; I had this idea a week ago but I knew immediately it would be really hard to pull off. And Game of Thrones is overly sexualized and far too violent to really mesh well with the Ladybug Fandom. But I did try to consider a potential plot because Game of Thrones is one of all time favorite shows.

·        An Akuma zaps Ladybug/Marinette to the game of thrones universe (the show is not a thing in her world). She winds up in the North. She has the guardian box with her. With the help of the guardians, she builds a place to live while she tries to find a way home. In this the woods so she can hide easily

·        Somehow she befriends Arya Stark. Marinette helps train Arya how to fight. Arya becomes like a little sister to her. Marinette is very sad when Arya leaves for King’s landing. Marinette hears that Ned will be executed.

·        Marinette rescues Ned and Sansa but is devastated that her only friend is still missing….

THAT is as far as I got before I cancelled the idea. Game of Thrones has too many variables and the Ladybug fandom is just too innocent for a proper crossover. It’s salt as hell but too innocent.

Riverdale: I love the show. But no. Just no.

“English and Edward’s accented voice.” “Amestrian or another foreign language.” “Written notes.” ‘Thoughts.’ First Name: Informal Last Name: Formal (Or used to annoy others)

"And this is... Alchemy in one of its finest points..."

The sound of hands clapping together reverberated around the room, an electric discharge the color of blue came from the hands onto a pile of metal, wires and other random items. The moment the light dispersed to reveal a functioning Cuckoo clock. The clock struck a new hour and out came the... what appears to be a young version Mr. Elric batting around a bat.

"Really...? Really...?" Edward deadpanned, he resisted the urge to facepalm at his superior's creation. Was it necessary to create the mini version of him swinging around a bat? No. Did the presentation show one of the many possibilities of Alchemy? Yes. Yes, it did. With a chuckle, remembering how he would add his own touch whenever he created something to his past creations. "Questions?"

"How the bloody hell did he create that?"

"This...this is...unbelievable."

"How does it work?"

"Remember what Mr. Elric taught us. The proper application requires a full understanding of chemistry and ancient alchemical theory, including to have a talent towards recognizing and manipulating the physical objects with energy, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude."

"... Could we do that?"

"Maybe one day... In the far distant future." Edward waved off the looks of amazement. He walked over at the front of the room and stood next to Roy. He reached over to pick up the clock that was on top of a slab of wood which rested on top of a table and rested it next to it. Now he picked up the slab of wood to show it to the class. The slab of wood contained a Transmutation Circle burned into it. "This is a Transmutation circle, the coming semester, something that is needed to create everything with...Alchemy."

"Are you going to teach us that?"

"No. None of you are at the level required to even start learning Transmutation Circles. Once classes start once more, the main topic I am going to teach all of you is...Rebound..." The way Edward said that the last word sent an ominous shiver down all his students spines. "The forces that are being manipulated when using Alchemy...are not human in origin the consequences for attempting to bypass the Law of Equivalent Exchange in transmutation are not merely a failure. When too much is attempted out of too little, a Rebound occurs. The alchemical forces are thrown out of balance on their side of the equation fluctuate wildly of their own accord in order stabilize themselves-taking or giving more than interned in often unpredictable and catastrophic ways such as... accidental mutation, serious injury or even death. Terrence? Question?"

"Sir... have you ever seen any of that happen before...?"

Edward put the clock back on the table with a heavy sigh. He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose wondering how he could answer that. There are many ways he could answer that question or he could sweep it under the rug completely. No, they needed to see the result of trying to do something completely stupid. "...What I am going to show you must not leave this room. Understood?"

Edward thanked Truth for the fact Rolanda and Quirinus are not in the room.

Roy watched Edward with watchful eyes, suspicion filled within him seeing that familiar look in the younger man's eyes. "You sure about this?"

"I'm just going to show them my automail. Telling them the story behind it... maybe at a later time."

-.-

Silence fell over them, they ate their lunch slowly and methodically. Chewing on their food while they thought over what they saw earlier and the new tidbit of information on their teacher. Their teacher did something that was against the Law of Alchemy and he is living with that consequences every day. Are they still going to study alchemy? Yes, of course, they are. They came this far and they are not going to back out any time soon. The only problem they have is... how in Merlin's beard does that legwork? They never saw anything like it before and it wasn't like any other kind of prosthetics they've seen before.

"How do you think it works?"

"It has to be connected to his nervous system. It moves around as an actual leg does."

"The nervo what?"

"It's like this..."

With that, everything went back to a sense of normalcy.

-.-

"GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Come Now, Edward!"

"I don't need a hug from you of all people!"

"Can't we ever have a day without this happening?" Mustang facepalm into his gloved hand, he peeked through his fingers to see a shirtless Major Armstrong trying to hug the screaming Colonel Elric. He glanced over his shoulder to see Elric's class and fellow instructors to see them watching the scene with mixed expressions. The fact that a lot of them looked bored and not bothered about the scene before them... Amestris is already getting to them. "Major Armstrong! Colonel Elric!"

Elric did not stop running away from Armstrong, he changed his course to run over towards the General and hid behind him. "Get him away from me!"

Fortunately for Elric, Armstrong stopped chasing after him and saluted, sparkles surrounding him still. "It just brings me great joy to see Edward Elric being a teacher!"

"Please tell him to stop chasing me...? Please?" Elric asked with mass hysteria in his eyes, he kept tugging on Mustang's uniform pleadingly. "Please?"

"Why am I here again?" Mustang muttered under his breath, resisting the urge to facepalm. This was something he was so not looking forward to.

"You and Major Armstrong are supposed to give a live demonstration to my class..."

"...Truth..."

-.-

Flame Alchemist vs Strong Arm Alchemist

A fight that is of epic proportions to the students and two magical instructors. They have never seen anything like it, nothing compared to what is occurring in front of their eyes. Some could feel the heat emitting from the flames or the rush of air from the soaring rocks that flew towards the fire. How both combatants are able to use alchemy in such a way has their minds boggling at all the possibilities and possible future for them.

Snap.

Punch.

Snap.

Blast!

Repeat.

"Amestris State Alchemists, all candidates undergo an extensive examination process involving a written test proving a high level of aptitude in the field, a psychological evaluation to determine whether the candidate is of sound enough mind to serve in such a specialized branch of the military and a practical examination in which the candidate proves to a military board whether or not his or her skills can be used in real-world situations." Edward explained to his students the procedure of becoming a State Alchemists. He stuffed a hand into his head and gripped his silver pocket watch, remembering the time he had taken such test. "Upon acceptance into the program, they are awarded a certificate of achievement marked with a symbolic title decided upon by the Fuhrer based on the newly accepted State Alchemist unique alchemical skills as well as their personal and dispositional traits."

"Flame Alchemist?"

"General Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, is versed in standard physical transmutation, experimental theory, and biological alchemy. Fire-based combat style of alchemy, see those gloves he's wearing?" After quick nods and mummers of yes, Edward continued. "They help him manipulate the air to do what he is doing right now. If you ask him, he might answer a few questions. Don't push him about it."

"Strong Arm Alchemist?"

".... Major Armstrong, Strong Arm Alchemist, utilizes a combat alchemy that has apparently been passed down the Armstrong line for generations and mixes alchemical skill with physical prowess. He uses those metal gauntlets strapped to his fists to transmute objects by punching them. If you want to know more but end up losing your mind in the process, go ask him. I will not be held responsible if such event occurs..."

"...What is wrong with him?"

"I have been asking that question myself for years. If you think that is bad, you should meet his eldest sister, that woman is one of the most terrifying women in Amestris. Better yet...the entire world."

Pause.

"One of...?"

"The others are Captain Hawkeye and Teacher..."

"Captain Hawkeye? She did not appear to be that terrifying."

"Stick around longer then you will see."

-.-

Edward munched on his dinner as he watched his students mob, Roy and Alex, asking them question after question about the performance they did earlier. Both Alchemist soaked in the attention and answered bit and pieces. They, after all, needed to hide away the secrets of their alchemy. The experience of them watching Alchemy being done in such manner opened their minds and see what they are studying first hand.

"Mr. Elric."

Edward glanced over to see Rolanda taking a seat next to him, she kept her gaze over the students. "Yeah?"

"You said you were a former State Alchemist, could you do what they did earlier?" Rolanda asked, turning her heard to look at Edward with her hawk-like eyes.

"...I... It is a very long story. The result is me not being able to do alchemy anymore." Edward stated lightly, smiling slightly at the reason behind him no longer being able to do alchemy anymore. It was worth the exchange.

"You don't have to answer if it is too personal, what did you exchange for you to no longer being capable of using alchemy?"

"...Again...long story and this one is...a personal one."

"My Alchemy has been passed down the Armstrong Family for several generations!"

Pause.

"How in Merlin's beard did he became a State Alchemist?"

"Shhh! Not so loud, do you want him to hear you? He will go on about the Armstrong Family Line for ages."

-.-

"I'll come back and visit again before I return back to work." Edward swung Elicia around in circles around the train station platform. Mrs. Hughes stood a couple steps away holding a cloth-covered basket, watching the scene with a small smile. "Be good, stay in school and if anyone picks on you...tell your Uncle Roy or Auntie Riza. They'll take care of it."

"Don't encourage her, Ed." Mrs. Hughes shook her head at Edward's words.

"What? I won't be in the country, and I can't get any phone calls there." Edward explained as if what he said was nothing out of the norm. "Otherwise I would take care of the problem."

Mrs. Hughes only shook her head. "Of course."

The woman smiled at the young man and extended the basket out to him. "For the trip, down to Resembool."

Edward places Elicia back down on the ground, the girl giggles as she keeps a grasp on her brother's pants to no fall. The Golden Blonde reached over and took the basket and he smelled that familiar scent of apple pies filled his nose. Such a pleasant scent. "Thank you, they smell amazing!"

"Are you ready to go, Fullmetal?"

Edward, Mrs. Hughes, and Elicia turned to see Roy and his unit standing in front of them. The Sandy Blonde girl smiled brightly and ran over to Roy and hugged him. "Uncle Roy!"

Roy smiled hugely at the girl and patted her on the head. "There's my favorite Squirrel Scout."

Elicia's cheeks puff out. "It's Lion Scout! Lion Scout!"

"Gasp-Of course it is! How could I forget such detail~" Roy chastised himself for forgetting such detail. He glanced over at Riza and gave her a silent command. "Hawkeye, Havoc, why don't you two take Gracia and Elicia home. It's getting late."

"Of course, Sir!"

Both soldiers gave Edward either a salute or nod before they escorted the Hughes family back to their home.

"Bye Little Brother!" Elicia called out, waving at Edward.

Edward waved back with a small smile, the smile disappeared once she was out of sight. Glancing over at his shoulder to give his superior a bored look, the Golden Blonde could only wonder what the man is about to inform him. "What?"

"I have people stationed along the tracks, try not to get into trouble."

-.-

The train ride from Central to Resembool was filled with random games, eating pies, homework, eating pies, sleeping and once more... eating pies. This time around, Mr. Elric had fallen asleep clutching onto his suitcase. It is worth mentioning he kept muttering under his breath something about...wrench of doom...? Interesting.

"Does he live out in the country?"

"Naw, he has to live in a city or something."

"In a mansion?"

"Castle?"

"I think he lives in a small cottage in the middle of a forest and you could hear a bubbling creek nearby."

"Maybe by a river!"

"Or by a volcano."

"No. He lives in a laboratory or some sorts, him working on his alchemy."

"Mr. Elric told us he lives down the road from his fiancé, and we'll be switching our time between both homes. If not...mostly in future Mrs. Elric's home."

"I still can't believe he's getting married, he's still young!"

"...In the Magical Community... It is rather common to see a student from the more... restricted pureblood families... get married off the moment they leave Hogwarts. Do you believe that could be happening here?"

"Naw, from what Mr. Elric told us, he'd know his fiancé almost his entire life and said that she's his mechanic. Whatever that means."

"A mechanic fixes muggle machinery and everything else of that sort. Remember Mr. Elric's leg? That's a piece of machinery."

"...A mechanic? Hm..."

"What?"

"Mechanics are uneducated, dishonest, uncaring, dirty, and would purposely break parts to get more work or bulling their customers into unneeded services individuals. A mechanic...hah!" One of the students, a muggle-born Ravenclaw, huffed out in disgust. "My parents dealt with many mechanics over the years, they are all the sa-"

-.-

"Hello~" A very attractive female in her late teens waved at a group of strangely dressed schoolchildren, for Resembool, getting off a train. She has long light blonde hair tied in a high pony-tail, with long locks of hair on either side of her face and bangs, blue eyes and is wearing a short-sleeved sundress. "Hogvarts?"

The Hogwarts students and two professors wonder if this is the Alchemy Teacher's fiancé. The way said man described her to be... is not what they are seeing. She seemed...delicate, polite, and a grease monkey. Her voice is heavily accented to the point they could hardly tell what she was telling them to a point.

Suddenly, the young woman's eyes brightened at whatever was behind the group. "Edward!"

"Winry!"

Everyone turned around to see Edward stepping out of the train, grinning at the Blue-Eyed Blonde. He only took a couple of steps towards her when he was almost flung backward in a bone-wrenching hug, dropping his suitcase in the process. Edward braced himself to prevent himself to prevent himself to fall backward with Winry in his arms. Once he regained his balance, the Golden Blonde swung the Blue-Eyed Blonde around laughingly. "I thought you were going to wait at home, Winry."

"I couldn't wait, I had to see you as soon as possible. Don't worry, Granny is taking care of the pies." Winry said once Edward stopped swinging her around. "So...introduce me. I want to meet these...students of yours."

"...Don't tell me... You have no faith in me being a teacher?" Edward deadpanned.

"Hahaha. Oh, Edward... I'm just surprised you haven't killed anyone yet." Winry laughed, waving off Edward's look of despair. She reached up and grabbed hold of Edward's coat to pull him down enough to kiss him on the lips.

At that moment, everything went blank for Edward... everything just felt... perfect.

-.-

"How much longer now?"

"I can't feel my legs anymore..."

"This goes many of our ideas of his possible home..."

"At least it isn't freezing!"

"It's winter....it supposed to snow..."

"Sh! Remember, we are supposed to be camping. Camping in the snow isn't fun! Believe me... it's not fun..."

Walking up ahead of the group, Edward and Winry whispered to silently to themselves. Both all giggles and smiles but that was just a front. Pay closer attention, you could see Winry if gripping Edward's arm far too tightly and said male purposely kept his face forward to not show anyone his tears.

"Who exactly is at your house again...?" Edward asked through teary eyes.

"Your brother, Mei, Lan Fan and Ling...."

Edward stopped at a fork of a road. One road leads to the Rockbell's Residence and the other lead to his own residence. He turned over to face Winry, shoulder's tense and expression unreadable. "Who else is there?"

"You think I'm hiding something from you?" Winry questioned Edward with a frown, crossing her arms over her chest. She glared at the Golden Blonde, no once did she waver.

"It's Teacher, isn't it?"

"... I invited her and Sig. After you told me you told them we got engaged."

"How is she?"

"She's helping me with the wedding."

"Define helping...?"

-.-

Bang!

Slam!

Screams of pain!

Break!

Shouting!

The two Hogwarts professors and eight students stood in front of a two-story home with a sign in the front. It appeared to be a simple home if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Elric and Miss. Rockbell entered the home and the moment he closed the door behind himself... chaos. He had told everyone else to stay outside until he cleared whatever was inside the Rockbell residence. Apparently whatever it was... it wasn't pretty.

There was a debate about whether or not to go inside to check on the Alchemy Professor. That idea was shot down when the sounds of pain reverberated throughout the entire home.

Wait... is that silence?

SLAM!

The door was slammed open and both Mr. Elric's were thrown out of the Rockbell residence with shouts of surprise. Everyone kept their eyes on the doorway, not able to look away. It was either from fright or morbid curiosity.

Then... they saw... her?

What the Ghost Hunt UK

When Ghost Hunt UK headed into an old, abandoned jail for an evening of filming, they thought they were alone. Instead, they stumble upon Georgie Barker and her crew, and - begrudgingly - agree to work together. However, as the night wears on, the professional courtesy between Melanie and Georgie for the sake of the cameras starts to bleed over into something more real. Perhaps they could make a crossover out of this after all?

Continue reading now or head on over to AO3!

They should have been alone.  Melanie had staked out this spot for days, and nobody came or went.  One security guard patrolled the outer gate a single time, then drove away to check on some other abandoned locale, leaving the old jail unoccupied.

“You heard that?”  She asked Peter, who kept the camera focused on her despite the disturbance.

“Yup.  Coming in loud and clear.”

“Alright, let’s go see what’s making that sound.”

Melanie led the way around the corner and practically ran headlong into a perfectly corporeal being.

“Whoa!”  They cried, stumbling backwards.

“Who are you?  What are you doing here?”

“I might ask you the same thing.”

“Wait a second…” Melanie pondered.  “You’re Georgie?  Georgie Barker?  What the Ghost?”

“And you’re Melanie King?”

Professional courtesy aside, this was Ghost Hunt UK’s site for the night.  They’d planned it all out, done the research, and made sure to let other aspiring ghost-hunters to steer clear of the jail for the evening.

“Yeah.  Again, why are you here?  This is our shoot.”

“Didn’t know anyone else would be here,” Georgie admitted.  “Thought the noises we heard seemed a little too mortal, so we came on down to check it out.”

“You’re going to have to leave.  Come back later.”

“I don’t think so.”

Both women had their hands on their hips; neither was backing down.

“It’s not like both our shows can release an episode at the same location at the same time.  That’s not good for either of us,” Melanie insisted.  “And we were here first.”

Peter cleared his throat behind her, causing Melanie, Georgie, and both of their crews to turn toward him expectantly.

“Why not a crossover?  Do an episode together?  Might appeal to both our fanbases?”

Nobody said a word.  Melanie moved her jaw as she struggled for words and Georgie fidgeted.

“That’s not a terrible idea,” the latter said quietly after a long moment of thinking.

“It’s still a bad idea though,” Melanie snapped.  “This is our spot.  You can come back later.”

“I’m not trying to step on your toes, really.  But your camera guy is right – if we combine forces, we combine viewership.  Plus, we’ll totally be able to cover all the ground here.”

Melanie wanted to swear and put her foot down and insist that this was her night here, this was her find.  But, as Georgie explained, it would be a plus for the show, even if it personally got on her nerves.

“Fine.  I trust you’ve done your research on this place, then?  Know what we’re looking for?”

“A whole load of ghosts.  The warden is supposed to be pretty active, along with a doctor they kept on staff who has been known to attack intruders.”

“Broad strokes, yeah.  We already filmed our intro-”

“-Us too.”

Melanie grumbled under her breath.  “Do we want to just go check this place out then?  The solitary confinement cells should be down this way.”

Georgie nodded and gestured for Melanie to go first.  “Lead the way.”

“I will.”

Despite starting off in the lead, both their crews insisted that they speak to each other and discuss the history of the jail as they went.  For the sake of the show, Melanie kept telling herself.

For what it was worth, this Georgie did seem to know her stuff.  She’d never watched much What the Ghost? but their methods weren’t particularly different from their own, so the filming style meshed well.  And with the way Georgie explained the jail’s backstory, even Melanie couldn’t stay too mad.

“Wait, you think Evan Silverman was The Butcher?”  Georgie interrupted as Melanie laid out a theory regarding one of the jail’s more notorious residents.

“Yeah.”  She nodded.  “It fits.  Every one of The Butcher’s murders took place while he was out of jail and known to be in those locations.  His method of savagery is consistent as well.  He just managed to get caught on a minor charge and moved into a more stringent prison only because of his poor behavior; attacking wardens and other inmates, the usual.”

“I… hadn’t pieced that together,” Georgie admitted sincerely.  “That does make sense.  Well done.”

“Thank you, Georgie.”  She turned back to the camera, changing her real smile to the stock pose for the screen.  “And maybe, just maybe, we’ll manage to catch a glimpse of The Butcher here, in the location where he met his end.”

The solitary confinement cells offered a small number of ghostly phenomena, same as the rest of the jail.  As the joint forces proceeded through the dark hallways, the banter between Melanie and Georgie grew more lighthearted, the stiffness abandoned as they accepted each other as equals in knowledge and skill, as opposed to enemy combatants fighting for the high ground.

“Now, for the most haunted location of the jail: the medical wing.”

“Dr. Edward Jules was brought in to provide medical care for the many inmates and wardens who were injured in these vicious halls.”

“However, his methods were significantly more brutal than the violence he was meant to heal.”

“He ran morbid experiments on his patients, and few survived.  Perhaps tonight we might hear from one of them and find out what they suffered at the hand of this doctor.”

“Or, maybe we’ll find Doctor Jules himself.”

Their cameramen nodded, and Georgie and Melanie pushed their way into the first operating room.  Nothing much remained, save for a gurney and a medicine cabinet with a door that swung ominously in a breeze coming through a hole in the wall.

They continued through the rooms, finding more surgical equipment and the beds where recovering patients would have rested.  Eventually, they reached a door that Melanie couldn’t open on her own.

“Here, let me help.”

Melanie leaned against the door beside Georgie, and together they slammed their whole weight into it until it flew open to reveal a grimier surgery than those they’d found before.

“This must be where the doctor performed his less legitimate operations,” Melanie posited as their cameras scanned around the room.

“Something’s not right.”

“It does feel eerie, that’s for sure.”

“No.  Something else… look out!”

A tall cabinet which held decayed instruments suddenly tipped over toward them with an ominous screech.  Georgie threw herself at Melanie to push her out of the way, and the heavy slab of wood barely missed the pair as they thudded into the ground.

“Are you alright?”

“Are you okay?”  They asked each other in unison, breathing heavily.

“I’m fine,” Georgie answered.  “You?”

Melanie nodded and her eyes scanned around them with haste.  “Thank you.  That would’ve… really hurt.  Do you think that was the doctor?”

“Dunno.  However it happened, it was a close call.”

“You’re telling me.”

It was only a few moments later that Georgie realized she was still lying on top of Melanie, though she hadn't seemed to notice either.  Georgie scampered backwards and crawled to her feet, offering Melanie a hand up, which she accepted.

They joined their crews as they took to examining the collapsed shelf.  Empty bottles still rolled across the floor while the sharp point of a brown and rusted saw sparkled in the dim light.

In the end, they didn’t find any supernatural explanation for the falling cabinet nor any more ghostly phenomenon.  As they wrapped up their filming and the two crews began to head their separate ways, Georgie found Melanie and pulled her aside.

“You okay?  That cabinet thing was… freaky.”

“Hardly the worst thing that’s happened to me in this line of work.  But, still, thank you.  Again.”

“You’re welcome.  And I know neither of us really wanted to do this, but it was really good working with you.”

Melanie smiled.  “It was.  Maybe we can do another episode together some time?”

“Sure.”  She paused, then fumbled in her pockets.  “Oh, before I forget, do you mind if I film a video real fast for our social media?  Get people psyched for us working together before they’ve finished putting all the editing?”

Melanie took her place beside Georgie, positioning the exterior of the jail behind them.  They rattled off their own little commercial before getting ready to head out again as the sun started to rise.

“I got your contact info from James, so we should be good.  I’ll keep in touch,” Melanie said.

“Are you sure you don’t want my personal number too?”

With a quiet chuckle, she turned back to Georgie, who wore a smug smirk.

“I suppose I should find a way to appropriately thank you for saving my life from cabinet doom.  I know there’s one way that immediately comes to mind…”  She stepped closer.

“Oh yeah?”  Georgie leaned in until her lips were centimeters from Melanie’s.  “I think what you’re suggesting is more than suitable.”

“Then what are we standing around here for?”

*

Melanie awoke with a start as a weight slammed down on her chest.

“Meow?”

“Ah, you must be the Admiral.”  She said, scratching the cat’s ears as he sniffed her hand and started to purr.  “Where did Georgie get off to?”

Once she could extract herself from the Admiral, Melanie climbed out of bed to go find the other ghost hunter.  The fuzzy cat led the way to Georgie, who sat at a small desk with her computer in front of her.  The midday sun shone in through the windows and Melanie winced.

“Can’t stop working, huh?”  Melanie asked as she stepped up beside her and pressed a kiss to Georgie’s cheek.

“I only woke up a little bit ago,” she admitted.  “There’s coffee and food for you in the kitchen.  I didn’t want to wake you up.”

“And here I had planned to make you breakfast.”

“Well, even if you felt you still owed me after the cabinet thing, I think we’re more than even after last night.”

They both chuckled and blushed.

“Oh,” Georgie continued, “I posted that video too, about our shows working together?  People are going crazy.  Though, half of them seem more interested in whether or not you and I are dating rather than the actual ghost hunt itself.”

“Really?”  Melanie’s eyebrows shot up.

“Yeah, see here: ‘You two make such a cute couple!  Are you dating?’  And another, here: ‘You two have great chemistry I bet you’d be a good couple.’”

“Ah, social media.  Where the adoring fans can pry into their idols personal lives.”

“I mean, they’re not wrong.  We do have good chemistry.  And I’d… certainly be interested in going on a date with you.”

“Really?”  Melanie giggled and bit her lip.  “Then, uh, what are you doing for dinner?”

“There’s a nice place down the road.  We could do lunch, or whatever meal you have in the middle of the afternoon.”

“Sounds good to me.”

“You can use my shower and just rummage around in my closet for clean clothes, if you want,” Georgie offered.

“Thanks, babe,” Melanie said without thinking, causing them both to laugh before she trotted off, embarrassed.

She returned after taking a quick shower to find Georgie in the same spot at her desk, this time with the Admiral sleeping on her lap.

“What do you think?”

Georgie turned to look at Melanie, who was wearing one of her What the Ghost? shirts.

“You can’t wear that!”  She cried, laughing.  “That is crossing too many streams.”

“Nah, come on, you’re the one that was all about a crossover!  Fine, fine,” she added as Georgie struggled to find words through her laughter and slunk off to reexamine the wardrobe.

After they had both cleaned themselves up and put on appropriate attire, they headed out to lunch where they talked of ghost hunting and real-life escapades.  When they outstayed their welcome at that particular restaurant, they headed to a bar down the road, where they stayed until the sun went down, enjoying each other’s company until the bartender literally forced them out because the place was closing.

Melanie found herself staying at Georgie’s place again, though this time was much less eventful.  The next morning, they posted an update for their adoring fans.

Georgie wore Melanie’s Ghost Hunt UK shirt and Melanie donned one emblazoned with Georgie’s What the Ghost? as they posed for a selfie together.

‘To all those who asked if we were together – yes we are!  You’ll be hearing a lot more from the both of us.  And keep your eyes out for the first ever episode of What the Ghost Hunt UK, coming soon!’

Charles Powell

3. What is your favorite episode of 4?

“La Belle Dame Sans Merci” [ 03x13]

4. What is your favorite season of 5?

Probably S7? It was the season of actor wish fulfillment...

5. Who is your favorite couple in 3?

Romantic: Susan/Talia Platonic: Susan & Delenn or Susan & Sheridan

6. Who is your favorite couple in 2?

Dragon Queen!

7. What is your favorite episode of 1?

You know what? I’m gonna follow Glen Mazarra’s comment about how he wrote S1 of Damien as a 10 hour movie, so I’ma say the whole thing. Fckn fight me.

8. What is your favorite episode of 5?

I have a soft spot for both “Remember Me” [04x05] and “The Loss” [04x10] as they were the first two eps I ever actually consciously saw and paid attention to, but I absolutely adore EVERY. SINGLE. Lwaxana ep.

9. What is your favorite season of 2?

Hmm... Honestly? That’s a tie between 1 and 7...

10. How long have you watched 1?

Well, I watched it first run from 7 March to 9 May 2016, and I’m in the double digits on full series rewatches...

11. How did you become interested in 3?

It came out roughly at the same time as DS9 and I got sucked into both...

12. Who is your favorite actor in 4?

Robbi Chong, hands down.

13. Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?

Actually, of those three, I prefer them in that order.  Damien will forever be my #1 lifetime favorite show that never got a proper fucking chance...

Ann Rutledge and James Shay.

I SAID WHAT I SAID.

Because Ann and Sr. Greta is too fckn obvious and I already ship it.

18. Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?

Hmmm... I think Babylon 5 had a better, more cohesive start to finish aspect to the overall series than ST:TNG did. I mean, I love both, but yeah...

19. Which has the better theme music, 2 or 4?

Okay, I can’t really choose here. I love both of them...

Tag: @shatterpath @singinprincess @bunysliper and anybody else who wants to play...

For the week of 11 December 2017

Quick Bits:

Amazing Spider-Man #792 continues the “Venom Inc.” crossover and it’s just as much fun as the Alpha issue. Ryan Stegman also provides art for this issue and he proves once again why he’s one of the best at Marvel, particularly when it comes to illustrating Spider-Man. The interplay between Flash, now as Anti-Venom, and Peter is an interesting dynamic, especially with how far Flash has come since high school, and it’s well-explored here.

| Published by Marvel

Animosity #11 gets into some of the divisions that have occurred following the Wake, some of the different groupings and reactions to animals other than humans gaining a spoken voice, and illustrates what animals will find acceptable in propagating their own survival. In this case the subjugation of bees, because they can’t be heard, because they’re little.

| Published by AfterShock

The Archies #3 throws some more kindling on the fire for the troubles of the band, both figuratively and literally.

| Published by Archie Comics

Astonisher #3 is interesting in that just as it looks like Magnus is finally getting the hang of the superheroics, dedicating himself to something more than just his own self-interest, a huge monkey wrench is thrown in his way. Other than just the red worm infecting those affected by the meteorite, there seems to be another insidiousness in the title. Alex de Campi is doing some great work here, both with plot and character.

| Published by Lion Forge / Catalyst Prime

Black Panther: Long Live the King #1 is a digital first comic from Nnedi Okorafor and André Lima Araújo and it’s wonderful. Okorafor sets up an interesting mystery amidst what could be a natural disaster, could be something more, as Wakanda’s capital is struck by an earthquake. T’Challa sees a Lovecraftian monstrosity during the quake, but he seems to be the only one, leading others to question his leadership. Aided by Chris O’Halloran’s colours, Araújo’s artwork is just the icing on top.

| Published by Marvel

Bloodshot Salvation #4 is a flashback issue spotlighting the trouble childhood of Project Omen’s director, the Scarred Man, and his brother, the man who will become Rampage. This issue is wholly illustrated by Mico Suayan, with Diego Rodriguez, and it’s as beautiful as the story itself is troubling.

| Published by Valiant

Brilliant Trash #2 takes us a bit deeper into the world of genetically modified superbeings, mixed a bit with social media and political activism, but not too far. We get glimpses of both sides in this battle, introducing us to more of the players, but we’re still left wondering what’s actually going on.

| Published by AfterShock

Coyotes #2 delivers on the promise of the first issue, following it up with more compelling storytelling, delving deeper into the mythology of the coyotes, where they’re likely coming from, the Victorias, and Red’s family. Sean Lewis and Caitlin Yarsky have something amazing here, with some strong world-building, fascinating characters, and stunning artwork.

| Published by Image

The Damned #6 begins a new old story-arc, reprinting the Prodigal Sons arc from the second mini-series, now with colours by Bill Crabtree. I think it’s still worth it for the colour if you’ve already read the originals.

| Published by Oni Press

Giants #1 is a fairly impressive debut from Carlos and Miguel Valderrama. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where kaiju rule the surface of the Earth and humans have taken to the underground, forming gangs to survive. Gogi and Zedo are two kids trying to join the Bloodwolves, serving as our entrance point to this world and giving the book a bit of heart.

| Published by Dark Horse

Grass Kings #10 switches to Maria’s perspective this time as she and Shelly discuss what’s been going on in the investigation into Jen Handel’s death, deciding that it’s time to confront Archie in what he knows. Once again, I’m highly impressed by how Matt Kindt is telling this story, as a mix of Robert Altman and Geoffrey Chaucer, using an ensemble mosaic to propel the narrative.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Harrow County #28 features Emmy versus Kammi for all the marbles, with an ending that you don’t necessarily see coming, which is going to leave you questioning what Cullen Bunn has just done to us.

| Published by Dark Horse

Judas #1 is one of the most beautiful looking books this month thanks to the stunning artwork by Jakub Rebelka. His art was one of the highlights of Namesake and now he’s elevating this series. I particularly like the black halo following Judas’ death, it’s just a little touch that adds a lot. The story itself by Jeff Loveness is also interesting, giving a kind of bleak, existential crisis from the point of view of Judas Iscariot, trying to figure out his afterlife and how he fit into the story of Jesus’ death.

| Published by BOOM! Studios

Jughead: The Hunger #2 nicely expands upon the factions, adding new players and family members to broaden the story, just as Jughead is recognized by a store clerk, drawing down upon himself the police. Frank Tieri’s setting up the pieces for what should be an interesting confrontation between the Coopers and Jughead.

| Published by Archie Comics / Archie’s Madhouse Presents

Kid Lobotomy #3 starts getting to the root of Kid’s metamorphosis and Kafka obsession, while unearthing some of the skeletons of Big Daddy and the Suites’ closets. All through Peter Milligan’s nutty story, Tess Fowler’s art brings it to life wonderfully.

| Published by IDW / Black Crown

Maestros #3 gives Will and the world a giant pile of crap as Rygol and Mardok join forces to destroy his capital and kill his people. Just when we thought Steve Skroce’s mad fantasy story couldn’t get stranger, it does.

| Published by Image

Monstro Mechanica #1 is off to a good start. The premise of Leonardo building a robot is interesting, as is his assistant, Isabel, allowing it to learn and grow despite Leonardo’s instructions otherwise, but it’s the political intrigue that’s really going to hook you. Along with the art, Chris Evenhuis has a clean, smooth style that really suits the subject matter.

| Published by AfterShock

Port of Earth #2 gets into the implications that the corporations signed the deal with the aliens and sold out the Earth on the basis of sheer greed. It’s not far-fetched, given the current political climate, but there’s also a hint that the port was going to happen anyway, the deal being the only thing that kept humans alive. The bulk of this issue, though, deals with our POV ESA security agents continuing to chase down the rogue alien “visitor”. From it, it appears that there’s a broader scheme hatching.

Retcon #4...so...aliens. And we’re done.

| Published by Image

Rumble #1 is something I’ve been looking forward to since John Arcudi announced that James Harren was leaving the title and David Rubín was taking over. I absolutely loved the team of Arcudi and Harren, and they really made the first volume of Rumble something unique, but Rubín is probably my favourite new-ish artist to begin working in the North American market in recent years. His art and style is just stunning and fresh, making every character and scene he illustrates something interesting. And he does not disappoint in this first issue.

Arcudi’s humour and quirks, the monstrous and odd characters, the setting, all perfectly mesh with Rubín‘s artwork creating something special. There is a recap of sorts for new readers, albeit biased, so you need not have read the first volume. I still recommend reading it though.

| Published by Image

Runaways #4 is actually a nice moment of respite for the reunited youngsters, as they get introduced to Molly’s grandmother and actually get to relax and be safe for an afternoon. I suspect that the revelation of what Molly’s grandmother has been up to, what they’ve been hinting at since the first issue, is going to be nefarious, but still...somewhat happy issue. Plus, Kris Anka draws some of the best cats.

Slots #3 gives us Stanley’s first fight, as well as giving a look at how Les is an asshole to his “friends”.

Star Wars #40 shows some cracks appearing in the alliance between the Rebels and the remnants of Saw Gerrera’s extremists on Jedha, as Benthic takes a particularly lethal approach to defending what remains of the planet. The artwork this issue, from Salvador Larroca with colours by Guru e-FX, is very impressive.

[ouatconversations]

My brother and I were talking and he said OUAT would worked better as a movie then a tv show. I agree with him. What do you think?

I don’t quite agree with you guys, but I see where you’re coming from and I think you have a point. 

I think it’s a well-agreed upon opinion within the fandom that A+E need to be on a FAR shorter leash than they are currently on. I was talking to FCC about this earlier and we agree that the two best seasons of Once are S1 and Once in Wonderland and the common thread is that, by necessity, they were more tightly plotted and self-contained. In S1 they were just starting out and probably had to be on their P’s and Q’s and in OiW, they only were doing one story which had the beginning, middle, and end. Done. Where A+E stumble is when they have too much latitude. That’s when things drag. For example, last night’s episode. It was sooo boring. There were about 7 minutes of relevant/compelling content in that 40 minute episode. It was like they were just killing time until the next big plot point. If they had exactly 100 minutes to fill, do you think they would have meandered around for so long without cutting to the chase?* 

On the other hand, S1 was so good. I loved the way the story unfolded from episode to episode, the meeting of new characters, the tracking of Emma’s journey from disbelief to belief. You would lose a lot of good if you had to shove the entire concept into a movie. 

So, in my opinion, OUAT shouldn’t have been a movie. It should have been an anthology series, like American Horror Story.** If you think about it, the first season of Once is pretty self-contained. You could watch the last episode and be relatively satisfied. If you clipped a couple of scenes from that last episode (like Gold pouring the magic potion into the well) it’s a relatively good ending to that story.*** Charming and Snow Reunited, Belle rescued and reunited with Gold, Emma believes and has her son and her family. Roll credits. 

And it makes sense for a world like this where there are different realms/kingdoms in the same universe. Instead of what we got, we could have very easily gotten Once Upon a Time, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Once Upon a Time in Neverland, Once Upon a Time in Oz, Once Upon a Time in Camelot, Once Upon a Time in Agrabah, etc. 

I think that would have been a different and more even show than we got. Of course, I very much would have rathered the show that we have, but with someone babysitting A+E so they didn’t go off the rails like they did. I like the characters and I want to follow them and their stories. But the anthology style meshes so much with their strengths. And since it’s all in the same universe, you could still have some crossover. For example, since the Dark One is so old and so up in everyone’s business, I’d have Rumple in like every season. And I’d probably have a season near the end sending all the fan faves from all the different seasons on a quest together somehow.****   

So, to loop back around, I think A+E would have probably written a better movie than a show in this form, but I think they would have done even better with an anthology, and I think someone else with restraint being in charge of the show in its current form would probably be the best case scenario. 

——————————————————————————

*Yes I understand the concept of building suspense, but if that’s what they’re trying to do, they’re failing. 

**Not *exactly* like AHS. I don’t know that I would do the ‘same cast, different story’ thing with this show. Having seen the AU eps, I’m not sure how well it would work. 

*** Of course this would mean that certain characters like Hook and Zelena and Pan wouldn’t exist at least in the same form, but you guys wouldn’t know that in this alternate universe and it would be the same problem with a movie anyway so it’s moot.

****So there’s one way you could get your fave characters from S2-6 interacting even though they wouldn’t in this world.

2021 Kia Seltos review, pictures: It feels expensive in all however the details

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The 2021 Kia Seltos is a brand-new addition to the business’s United States lineup, including yet another choice for purchasers in the congested but incredibly popular crossover-SUV market segment.

The Seltos begins at $21,990 and has five trim levels, with the most expensive one beginning at $27,890 Requirement four-wheel drive can be had on the least expensive variation of the cars and truck.

A 146- horse power engine powers the bottom three Seltos trims, while a 175- horsepower turbocharged choice comes standard on the top two, the less expensive of which begins at $25,490

The Seltos looks fantastic, and is terrific to drive. Where it fails is in the cheaper-looking styling details, and in attempting to keep the glossy black interior clean– something you shouldn’t want on your worst opponent.

Go to Business Insider’s homepage for more stories

Not long after, though, the thought pattern shifted.

And that’s the Seltos’ trick: For a $29,000 SUV with a Kia badge on the front of it, it’s a stunner in far more methods than its reasonable price tag must ever enable.

The 2021 Kia Seltos: A budget SUV without the spending plan looks

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The 2021 Kia Seltos is one of the many brand-new kids on the crossover-SUV market, which is awash with choices due to the fact that the section is controling United States sales. Car manufacturers continue to drain bigger, boxier automobiles like the Seltos, while their sales triumph suffocates the small-car market

Kia revealed the Seltos in late 2019 as a 2021 model year, framing it as a “rugged” and “adventure all set” crossover– a popular tagline nowadays.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

In the Kia lineup, the Seltos slots as the second-cheapest crossover or SUV by starting rate. Its $21,990 base model will cost you $4,500 more than the least expensive 2020 Kia Soul, which starts at $17,490

The advantage about the Seltos? While its total goal is to take a portion out of that popular, play-it-safe crossover-SUV market, it isn’t all about trying to suit. That bright-yellow paint color can even be had on its cheapest of models, the $21,990 S trim.

Information and security ratings: An entry-level SUV with high-level offerings

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The Seltos can be found in 5 trims and 2 engine choices, starting with the $21,990 LX trim.

The less expensive versions of the Seltos included a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 146 horse power and 132 pound-feet of torque, while the more costly ones, beginning with the $25,490 S Turbo, get a 1.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 175 horse power and 195 pound-feet of torque.

Trim levels for the 2021 Kia Seltos. (Right click to enlarge in a new tab.).

Alanis King.

Those 2 engine alternatives each have their own transmission, with Kia pairing the base 146- horse power engine with a continuously variable transmission and the 175- horse power version with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The latter is, naturally, the much preferred alternative.

This specific loaner automobile was an SX Turbo with 175 horse power and the DCT. Its last price tag came out to be $29,485– that’s including $1,120 in dealing with costs, which can always be negotiated

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

What’s intriguing about Seltos is that all-wheel drive can be had on the most inexpensive of its offerings, however with a trade-off.

AWD is frequently a $2,000 plan on cars and trucks, including many of the Seltos’ rivals.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The reason those 2 trims are the very same price, though, is due to the fact that Kia is giving purchasers a choice: AWD capabilities for harsher terrain and snowier climates with the LX trim, or Kia’s driver-assistance safety suite, which comes standard on the FWD S trim.

The suite includes things like a driver-attention caution, high-beam help, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-following help.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

In terms of crashworthiness and security features, the 2021 Seltos hasn’t yet been rated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or the US Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

What stands apart: Styling that’ll make you feel elegant, safety tech that will not bug you endlessly

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The Seltos, upon impression, feels a lot more pricey than it is. Its seat pattern is detailed but tasteful and it has a power driver’s seat, its interior accents don’t look low-cost, it has mood lighting in the SX Turbo trim, and it features the choice for a gold paint task so eye-scorching that no photo could ever do it justice.

The ride adds to that feeling. Unlike a lot of start-stop systems built to cut the engine off when the cars and truck isn’t moving– such as when it’s at a stop light– and start it back up when it’s time to go once again, the Seltos’ start-stop system is nearly unnoticeable. It’s there, of course, and you can feel it, but it’s more like a tiny bubble of air in your throat than a full-on misstep.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

When floored, the 175- horsepower Seltos feels like it has more power than it does, particularly for an SUV with such a big stance.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

But once you get through the lags, the front end of the Seltos will back up and start. Its steering is just heavy enough, preventing the Seltos from having that hollow sensation too many modern commuter lorries have.

The Seltos’ suspension reduces road bumps and other uneven surface areas however doesn’t get rid of them, and its ride is decently peaceful on the highway. There’s a tip of wind sound, but it doesn’t feel like the vehicle is hurtling through it like a rough patch of ocean– it’s more just a sense that the vehicle is moving, and that the cabin isn’t completely insulated from the outdoors world.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

Lane-keep help on the Seltos isn’t intrusive, however it is delicate.

The tech includes on the Seltos also feel high end for a $29,000 SUV.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The Seltos’ other security systems aren’t bothersome, with the blind-spot monitor warning motorists with dull dings instead of an uncoordinated symphony of beeping. Far too many lorries included a security system so annoying that you ‘d typically rather simply turn it off, however the Seltos’ system is livable.

There’s also a rear-seat alert that begins when there’s either weight on a rear seats or the center armrest is down, reminding individuals in advance not to forget any children, pets, or other residents in the vehicle when they leave.

What fails: Cheap-looking trim pieces, an interior that can’t remain clean

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The Seltos, despite looking more costly than it is on the surface area, begins to show its cost in the information.

The lower rear of the car is decorated with what seems a sporty, meshy grate and double geometric exhausts. Step a little closer, however, and it’s all an exterior. The genuine, singular exhaust pipe is beneath the 2 imposters, and the “mesh,” much like the fake pipelines, is actually a pattern on a black panel.

The silvery diamond-pattern trim on the front of the car is likewise disappointing. From a distance, it looks like a wacky, pricey touch. Up close, it emits more of a plastic vibe.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

Changes to the steering wheel are manual, and the Seltos wouldn’t enable a place to be put in the navigation while moving or at a stoplight, even if those inputs were from a traveler. It did, however, permit choosing from popular neighboring locations like gas stations while moving and at a stop– an odd inconsistency.

The “sport” and “normal” driving modes don’t feel too various, and even in typical mode, the Seltos will wait till about 6,000 rpm to upshift if floored. Its redline, 6,500 rpm, isn’t far after.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The biggest thing the Seltos has going versus it, however, has little to do with the automobile itself.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

While the Seltos looks smooth on the surface area, it’s not the type of sleekness that remains around. It takes upkeep, in the type of a great deal of cleansing, to keep the abundance of shiny black surfaces inside looking as good and glossy as they did in the showroom.

That’s not simply from your nasty fingers, either. The glossy product is so widespread in the vehicle that everything– dust, droplets, random flakes of stuff you absolutely do not desire given your attention, not to mention anyone else’s– develops throughout just a couple of days, caking those pieces into a collection of all of the nasty stuff you ‘d rather not remember exists.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

But all of that things does exist, and in the Seltos, it’s super obvious– specifically in the sun. Its inability to remain clean for more than a couple of journeys sidetracks from how great the vehicle looks beneath all of that crust, and serves as a continuous tip that life is, undoubtedly, gross.

So, if the Seltos is the cars and truck for you, do your future self a favor and choose a model with gray interior accents instead of black. Possibly they’ll fare a bit much better.

How the Seltos compares to its competitors: Comparable rates, similar capabilities

The 2021 Kia Seltos (top left), 2020 Hyundai Kona (top right), 2020 Mazda CX-30(bottom left), and 2019 Subaru Crosstrek (bottom right).

Some of the Seltos’ competitors includes the associated Kona at Kia’s sis brand name, Hyundai, along with the Mazda CX-30 and Subaru Crosstrek.

Fuel efficiency for the numerous AWD Kona variations can be found through fueleconomy.gov. (Right click to expand in a new tab.).

Alanis King.

With AWD, the most inexpensive of the four would be a $21,500 Kona, while the most costly would be a $23,300 CX-30

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Their headlights were a different story.

Our impressions: A moderately priced crossover for those who want to feel more upscale

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

The Seltos is a good car, both in terms of its appearances and its driving capabilities. It has enough power to not feel like an overall drag of a commuter cars and truck to drive, and its styling releases the vibe that it included a higher price tag than it in fact did.

Where the Seltos does not have is in the information. Some look much cheaper up close than they do far, and other elements, like the gloss-filled interior, seem like they weren’t suggested to survive remaining sleek in the real world– only in the showroom, where sales commissions can function as inspiration for dousing the vehicle in Windex every other day.

The 2021 Kia Seltos.

Alanis King.

Sure, that inspiration may even exist for a buyer at first, due to the fact that it’s humanity to want to keep things nice when it’s new. That ultimately fades for most, and the glossy black interior– need to that be the color combination you pick– won’t be forgiving when it does.

But the Seltos is an excellent SUV, and it looks great, too. You simply need to prevent looking too closely.

The essence: Enjoyable and stylish, however just if you want to spend a great deal of time cleaning

Pros: The Seltos has excellent general styling, which’s all most people will observe. Its driver-assistance and safety systems are practical without being invasive or irritating, it alleviates roadway noise well, and the SUV does not feel dull like some commuter cars can– its power and throttle are good, and its wheel is heavy instead of light and disconnected from the outside world.

Cons: While the overall styling of the Seltos is good, taking a more detailed take a look at particular functions will leave you seeming like they might have been a bit less cheap looking.

“English and Edward’s accented voice.” “Amestrian or another foreign language.” “Written notes.” ‘Thoughts.’ First Name: Informal Last Name: Formal (Or used to annoy others)

"Where is Professor Elric?"

"Isn't he in the Medical Wing?"

"He escaped."

"Then where is he now?"

"What happened to him...?" Severus muttered under his breath, he walked at a high pace looking for Edward to no avail. Alchemy classroom, nothing. Edward's room, nothing. Potions classroom, nothing. Great Hall, nothing. Greenhouse, nothing. There is no point searching in the Medical wing, Edward made it a point to leave that place. Now he is at a complete blank at where he should look next. The last thing Severus needed is to find Edward dead. That will not be good for anyone.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Severus stopped mid-stride, he looked over his shoulder to see a familiar owl pecking at the window repeatedly. Glancing around to see that no one was around, he reached over to open the window and Xerxes rammed herself onto him. Severus grimaced, he grabbed hold of the owl and held her at an arms distance. "What?"

Xerxes hooted repeatedly and giving Severus a panic look. She kept trying to wiggle out of his grasp and this only caused the Potions Professor to tighten his grasp. "Do you know where Edward is?"

Xerxes gave him a deadpanned look, almost saying 'duh'. Severus ignored that look and allows the owl to pull him along the School. While they are doing this, Severus glared at anyone that saw him following Xerxes. The last thing he needed is whispers that included about him. After what seemed like forever, Xerxes led him to an open window. Silently praying that he won't see Edward had fallen out the window and see his mangled body down below. That will ruin his day.

"Hello... Someone... Help me..."

"Oh great..."

-.-

"Shut up..."

"Excuse me?"

"Not you. Xerxes. She is laughing at me." Edward said, glaring down at his owl that made herself cozy in his arms. Xerxes actual gave him smug looks every time Edward looked down at her. "Stop zat!"

"You did manage to get yourself stuck on the roof." Severus stated not even bothering to hide his smirk.

"I got lost, dammit!"

"How in the world did you even end up on the roof?"

"...I haffe no idea..."

"...the roof..."

"Shut up."

"Who? Me or Xerxes?"

"The both of you!" Edward shouted back, he then started to rumble on under his breath. He felt everyone was out to get him; then again, this wasn't new to him. He did have it coming to him, for managing to get stuck on a roof. Edward glanced back at Severus curiously. "Hey...Hey...Hey!"

"What...?" Severus slowly looked over at Edward with a defeated expression.

"What did zat kooky lady want?" Edward asked him, wanting to know what had occurred earlier. Judging by Severus expression it did not seem good at all. "Vell?"

"In all honesty... She does not like you." Severus stated bluntly, he grabbed hold of Edward's arm to pull on a flight of stairs before it moved away. Edward snorted in response that was not new to him. There is a long list of humans that hate him, emphasize the word human. The only problem was that he had not spoken to the woman long enough to piss her off. The Golden Blonde allowed the Greasy Blacked haired man to pull him along. He already got lost once and he did not want that to happen again. "Are you hungry?"

Severus response is Edward's stomach growling loudly answering for him.

-.-

"Vat are zey?"

"They are called House-elves." Severus explained, he sat on a stool while eating a scone and drinking tea. He watched Edward and Xerxes be completely surrounded by the Hogwarts House-Elves and being offered by random foods. Edward looked completely at odds at the House-Elves, he had never seen them before or heard about them. He did not know how to feel about them, it went against everything he knew. In the same time, they looked extremely happy, well cared of and even Severus is polite to them. Plus they make great food...

"Should I be vorried about them?" Edward asked, he gulped down a long glass of apple juice and resumed eating a large plate of random foods. A random House-Elf pulled on his pant's leg to get his attention, Edward glanced down to see it offering him a slice of apple pie. Edward stopped eating altogether to start at the slice of apple pie. Apple pie... The House-Elf trembling thinking it did wrong. The Golden Blonde slowly took the pie and stared at it. It smelled just like Winry's apple pie. It reminded him of home. Picking up his fork, Edward took a chunk out of the pie and brought it up to his mouth. It even tasted like it too.

"Edward?" Severus called out, he swore he saw tears running down Edward's eyes. It only got worse as he continued to eat the apple pie.

"I need to vrite a letter to my fiancé..." Edward muffled out. "Zis reminds me of her."

"You are engaged?"

"...Did I not tell you? No...eh. Could I get more pie? Please?"

-.-

Edward shifted nervously in his spot, he stood in front of his desk as the current heads and headmaster of Hogwarts stood before him. They all know why they are there, it was just a confirmation and answers if they need any. Fortunately for him, Severus and Filius had explained things for him. At least the idea was confirmed by the bearded old man, but the main issue is seeing how they all feel about it. It was obvious the Kooky mean looking lady is against it, Pomona seemed hesitant but willing, and everyone else seemed to be on board with it.

"They take a test from zere I vill determine if they are zuitable to take my class." Edward rubbed his forehead with his right arm.

"What type of test?" Pomona asked curiously. "What material will it contained?"

"When I took an exam to become a State Alchemist, I had to take a vritten test zat showed a high level of altitude in alchemy, a psychological evaluation, and a practical examination..." Edward continued to rub his forehead remembering when he took the test. He knew that doing anything that is remotely close to that is useless. "That was a just Government Military Test. Do not even get me started vat my Teacher did to me."

"What did she have you do?" Dumbledore asked.

"...She dump me in a small island vith only the clothes on my back and a knife. I had to survive and ansver a riddle. If I had not ansvered the riddle correctly then she vould not have accepted me as a student." Edward deadpanned. "What I plan to do is making it easier for your students to take but it vill not be easy either."

"Was this the woman that nearly sent you into a coma after you joined said Military?"

"...Yes..." Edward shivered visibly, the only thing he remembered that day is pain, pain, and more pain.

"What will be the requirements?" Minerva asked briskly.

"Anyone is welcomed to take the test, although I prefer them if they have a basic understanding of Science to make things easier for them to understand what is being taught to them. Even then, as long as they understand how the world works...then they might have a chance to get into my class." The way that Edward spoke had everyone in complete awe. He spoke in a crisp tone and hardly a single tract of his Amestrian accent. Then whatever respect they had for Edward went down by his next set of words. "It vill also help me separate the idiots from the imbeciles."

Severus and Edward stared at each other unblinkingly, standing at the main entrance of Edward's room. Severus glanced upon Edward's head to see Xerxes resting on top of his head. He would have thought the Owl would have gone back to Owlery, apparently, he was wrong. "Elric."

"Snape."

"Hoot!"

Severus glanced back up at Xerxes. "Xerxes."

"Hoot."

"Breakfast, Edward?" Severus asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Breakfast." Edward agreed, he nodded at Severus to lead the way. Like before, he did not want to get lost. "Did you put up the announcement?"

"Yes, do not be surprised if you get mobbed about it." Severus responded guiding Edward down towards the Main Hall. "I already had several students ask me about it."

"Vat are your opinions on them?"

"...I would not be surprised if you end up kicking them out within the first half hour."

"Dat bad?'

"Yes. Yes, they are."

-.-

"But Professor, we know we could do this!"

"Mr. Elric expects us to take the test!"

"I just do not believe you two are capable or old enough to take the class." McGonagall attempted to persuade the Weasley boys to not pursue to take Alchemy. She would have expected older students to take the class but not first years for that matter. "...What do you mean he expects you to take the test?"

"Mr. Elric bought us books on the subject." Fred started off.

"He told us if we studied we would have the opportunity to learn Alchemy." George continued on.

"We can do this!"

McGonagall rubbed her forehead, the Weasley Twins were not the first, first years to ask to take the Alchemy Exam. In reality, she does not even believe in Alchemy, especially if it is taught by a Muggle. Will that subject actually help in the long run? Not only that, she did not want any of them to end up being disappointed for not getting into the class, it will just end badly. She does not want to get anyone's hopes up. "Boys..."

"We can do this."

"I do not believe you two have what it takes for this class."

"Excuze me? Vat does zat zuboze to mean?" A familiar but clearly frustrated stated, accent coming back in full blast. "Vat makes you zay zat? Vo knows? Zey might end up petder zan I?"

McGonagall turned around to see a furious Elric marching up towards her. Snape trailed along but maintaining a safe distance away from the furious Elric.

"Mr. Elric, I am just looking out for them." McGonagall responded, standing her ground against the Alchemy Professor. "They are still young a-"

"I starded to learn to do alchemy ven I vas apout four or fiffe." Elric deadpanned. "Remember ven I zaid last night about the Alchemy Exam I took back in my home country?"

"Yes...What does this have to do with anything?"

"It did not haffe a age requirement, as it vas too difficult to take zat hardly anyone pazed nov a days. I pazed ven i vas tvelffe." Elric resisted the urge to smash something. He took in a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself down. Unbeknownst to them, Snape had steered the Weasley Twins out of the way. After taking another deep breath, Edward mauled over his next set of words. His voice came out clearer. "It is better to try and giffen a chance to try. If zey fail, zey fail. On their terms. Not yours, theirs."

-.-

"Professor Snape?"

"Yes...?"

"Why did Mr. Elric have an owl on his head?"

"...She made a nest there..."

Thank you, @amynchan​! You are forever my inspiration and for helping with the Alchemy Series. 

The world of politics is vast, filled with poise, cunning, and heart. The tables of these politicians are where the future of our entire realm is decided, which laws must be enforced and what old ways we must choose to forsake in these changing times. The job of a politician is a delicate one, and must be handled with finesse, care, and class.

Unfortunately, as evidence suggests, that was not the case.

Edward Elric, a foreign muggle who controls a power that requires no wand or incantation, and a vast number of armed militants sat in on an otherwise peaceful meeting between the two candidates for Minister of Magic, invited by respected candidate Amelia Bones. Each talk of diplomacy with Elric's mysterious nation of 'Ameristes' unveiled the state of affairs in our new 'ally'. Of course, with a country that seems to be headed by a military, it is no wonder that the best they could afford to send had a temperament of his own. Anonymous sources have unveiled skepticism in the aurors present at the meeting, the loud abrasive disagreements held in public, as well as Elric blatantly placing blame for war and dissent squarely upon the shoulders of our Ministry.

These same sources cite Elric attempting to start a fist brawl at the diplomatic table as well as cursing freely in the face of our most honored politicians. According to a credible source, Elric was also overheard shouting "...they are going to get [war]!"

With the attitude of this ambassador, many a respectable wizard will question to themselves: is Ameristes truly an ally? Or are they only pushing us towards war? With hope, the newly elected leadership will guide our society into safer waters than into the hands of these muggles.

This is Rita Skeeter, signing off!

-.-

"We are being spied upon…" Alphonse stated tersely under his breath as he crumpled up the Daily Prophet that he was reading. That snippet of his brother shouting about war, was said in private. Edward never once shouted anything close to those words than the time in that room. With that, this reporter, Rita Skeeter, clearly shows she is completely taking everything out of context and biased. Not once did she mention how Fudge wanting to completely use Amestris for their own benefit, putting in restrictions and many other things that makes one wonder if this is a give or take, or just take, take and more take. The woman has done her job of slandering his brother, country and now it appears going after Madam Bones. Madam Bones did not invite them, it is a meeting that is held between Amestris, Magical Great Britain and Xing. A required meeting to seek out a treaty between three countries. It appears Xing is not on their shit list, and it will be soon if they continue to this form of treatment towards Amestris. Edward can take care of himself, but Amestris is a whole other issue all together.

Thinking about Edward, Alphonse looked over at the stair case wondering when Edward, Lucius and Severus will finish their meeting. It worries him at the possible results of it, and their work of attempting to alley themselves with the Malfoy's will be for not.

-.-

"I am not worried about myself, I am used to be seen as a pariah and seeing myself in the newspaper in such manner." Edward scanned the article that was written about him. "What I am not okay with is that Skeeter woman is mentioning Madam Bones."

"And your country? Are you not angered at she said?"

"Amestris is a Military focused country and it met with recent controversy all around. They should be grateful that I was sent. If they had sent Major General Armstrong, she would have killed everyone and actually declared war on them. That woman is fearsome, cold and extremely harsh, the Ice Queen and Northern Wall of Briggs. She was up for also becoming an ambassador but… she rather fight off Drachma from the North Wall than deal in politics."

"Is this the same woman that your commanding officer is terrified of and candidate for leading your country?"

"Everyone is terrified of her and yes. She is a candidate. If Madam Bones becomes Minister, Mustang will be a likely candidate. Fudge then we are going to have a woman that takes shit from no one." Edward deadpanned. "I am pissed. Just not for the reason you believe it to be. We do not want war, but if things continue with how it is… war is going to happen. Keep in mind… if they bring the war to us in Amestris, there magic is void."

Severus and Lucius couldn't help but agree in that last part Edward had reminded them of. Going to war against Amestris is the last thing anyone want's at this or any point. Magical Great Britain is still recovering from all the previous wars that occurred and Amestris, from what they were told, is already on their way of full recovery from one that occurred two years ago.

"Lord Malfoy, you may not like the fact I am a… muggle… but you have to admit what is being said about me and my country is only being stated as such for someone else's own gain. That lunatic Fudge is grasping straws and doing whatever underhanded move to get people to sway their vote. I implore you to help us… or we will have to do something completely underhandedly…"

-.-

"I want to go to Britain~~~~ Let's gooo!" Ling moaned out childishly to Lan Fan, said bodyguard is looking over the notes Alphonse and the Princess had sent over for them to look over. By the looks of it, Edward and Amestris is being slandered. Normally this isn't out of the norm, but considering how tactless this reporter is at her job. No vendetta towards Xing, that would quickly soon change. It appears that Alphonse will have to ensure where Xing stands at this point. Making enemies of Amestris is the last thing they needed after both signed the Magical Alliance, also dubbed The Preservation Concord. The name still needs some work down to it, but it was the only thing everyone could have agreed to at the time. "My Lord-"

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Ling in private Lan Fan…" Ling wrapped his arms around Lan Fan, resting his chin on her right shoulder.

"How many times do I have to tell you how unprofessional that is at any setting, My Lord…" Lan Fan stated evenly, proud of herself of keeping her composure intact. Well slightly, her cheeks are now a bright pink and she is resisting the urge to shiver. She shoved the document into Ling's face and quickly jumped away to a respectable distance. "Read."

Ling took the papers and skimmed through them to see what was written on them. His left eyebrow rising ever so lightly at every piece of information that he read. He sat up and sat on the edge of his bed as he continued to read to read the documents. "They're playing a dangerous game. I'm surprised Edward hadn't called off the meeting by now… they are being spied on? Not out of the norm, but Mei or Alphonse should have… Hm… Lan Fan, contact Amestris."

-.-

"Ugh… Kill me now…." Edward moaned out under his breath as ignored a random named politician talk about some random shit. He point is further emphasized by Alphonse and Madam Bones both look like they are about to keel over. Without much of a care, Edward laid his head on the table and snored away.

"Mr. Elric? Question?"

"Which one?" Alphonse asked for what liked the hundredth time that day alone.

"Edward Elric."

Alphonse reached over and nudged Edward's shoulder to wake him up. "Brother, the toad wants to talk to you again…"

"Someone has a question for you…"

"If it's the pink bitch, tell her to fuck off. I have been writing letters to that bastard Mustang and old man Grumman all last night and morning." Edward deadpanned, not even bothering to lift his head or speak Amesterian. "I am not in the mood to talk politics right now with that toad. I will talk to her if she finally starts to talk and act civilly towards me. Until then, no."

Silence.

"Excuse me?"

"You are excused."

"How is General Roy Mustang, Edward?" Bones asked in an attempt to change the topic of the conversation.

Edward lifted his head just enough to look at the women in her eyes. "Last I head he is heading over to Xerxes along with Lan Fan men are guiding the last of the refuges back to Ishval. With this, the General will be well into his promise to restore Ishval to its former glory."

"What is to become of Xerxes?"

"Uh…" Edward mind went blank. To be truthful, it was pushed around between Grumman, Roy and Ling that the land of Xerxes will be given to the descendants of the people of Xerxes. Of course, only those three, along with a selected few, know of the Elric's past. Grumman was told in order to clear up everything with him. Mustang… Edward will forever deny this till the end of time, sees the man trustworthy and well… a sort of father figure that will hopefully help him deal with his daddy issues. Ling? Greed told him everything. The end result, the three males are debating wither or not to leave the lands as is or 'give' them to the Elric's. Still huge debate on all sides. "For now, I believe it will become a sort of trader outpost? I do not know exactly. And no…" Edward raised his head over towards the direction where Fudge and his group sat around at the table, "None of you are going to get your grubby hands on that place… None of you will be able to do magic there so nah!"

"You're giving them more fuel for the fire, Brother…"

"If they already see me as a menacing animal, might as well play it up. That reporter is in the corner of the room and that pen of hers is writing a hundred miles a minute about complete bullshit. It's obvious which side she's on…bitch…"

"Headache?"

"Ugh… It's still as bad and it's now annoying instead of being a pain."

-.-

Dolores Umbridge have had enough with these muggles. They have been making them all look like fools and stringing everyone with lies. How they managed to get that horrid half-blood Bones to side with them is beyond her. How could Dumbledore allow such an atrocious being to be part of the Magical World. Everyone should have blasted that Elric's mind to the point he doesn't even remember his own name. The more the talked and acted only proved her point.

Now… as for the other Elric Brother and Xing Princess, they are both needed parts to get them into Xing. If they can convince Alphonse Elric to see things their way, then it would be smooth sailing. If they managed to get him alone, convincing him won't even be needed. All it takes is one good spell and set things into motion.

"Young Edward… you stated in a report that your country is also going through change of leadership?"

That fool raised his head to stare at her disinterestedly. "Yeah, the runner ups are General Roy Mustang or Major General Olivier Armstrong."

"Armstrong?" Skeeter asked out, her interest peeking. "Any relation to the huge brute you brought along last year?"

"Yeah… She's his older sister… his terrifying and highly combative sister. All of you should be happy that I am Amestris ambassador. She was an option for the job and she hates politics. Prefers to stab someone if they piss her off… Saw it once too." Edward grumbled out the last part with a shiver of fear.

-.-

"They want me to do what?"

"They want you to go to Great Britain."

"Why do I have a feeling I should maim Mustang for this... Prepare the men, we are heading to Central and fix this mess."

"Of course, General."

To be continued…

How do we deal with politics? Bring in someone that can intimidate everyone with a single stare and a sword that could slice through anything or everything…or everyone.
