[talking to the Flyfin siblings like I’m the presenter of a Children’s show] now you see kids, you might have missed this between completely dehumanizing someone for your own gain, beating and threatening to break someone’s fingers to try and force them to help you and having no objections to your brother’s plan to slowly rip off pieces of someone’s skin until they agree to help you, but this is a little something called ‘having a conscience’

KappaSiren

MonoGaloo

Not Yet Used Castle Swimmer Characters:

Silver

Fean, Finley, and Fizz

Herm

Ogo?

Roc and Reesha

Nee and Krilli

Skiff

Castle Swimmer FFX-2:

Yuna - Mono and Galoo

Paine - Neth

Rikku - Mucku

Shuyin -

Baralai -

Khimari -

Lenne - ?

Leblanc - Jengu

Gippal -

Nooj -

O’aka XXIII -

Wantz -

Yaibal - ?

Brother -

Shinra - Pagoon (still 13 versus 10, and very smart but prefers the ol’ whack’em dead method. Excellent strategist like his mom)

Donna - ?

Logos - Tunny

Ormi - Whisker

Buddy - Siren

Tidus - Kappa (FFX, but only technically)

Beclem -

Sin (dead) - Labbu

Characters Not Replacing Other Characters:

Pim (also a Gullwing)

Worm/Arp (sealed away with Kappa? Either way, he’s a good Axolotl doggo)

PLOT:

At some point Neth gives Siren +10 cool points since the other two girls are being annoying, and he mentions that makes him at -23 since she once said he was at -33.

Neth: “Congrats. Today you graduate to whole numbers.”

Siren: -half distracted- “I knew I’d get there if I only believed...”

“What are you looking at Siren?”

Siren: “Something strange is going on on the screen...” -all three octo crowd around him- “Do you guys always have to invade my personal space when I’m trying to share the screen??”

All 3: “hmmmm...” THEN

Mono: -nods yes-

Mucku: “Yep”

Neth: “Only way to read it, really.”

Al 3 practically squishing his face with theirs.

Siren gets or has a “Merman” dress sphere. May also be the experimental guinea pig for it which leads to a scene of them seeing Siren in a small pool on deck as a shark mer.

Galoo can read memories as in canon, but also see physical fragments of them when she’s close to or in the farplane. Kind of like what happens in X when following Tidus’s dad around in Zanarkand. She falls in the pit like Yuna did by accident somehow and in the pit sees “Shuyin’s” memories of Zanarkand, and then Shuyin attempts to possess her but she’s saved in time by Mono. Galoo follows a helpful memory out. When they get out, Galoo reveals what she can see and they realize the pits are connected to the farplane.

Kappa is from “another time or world” like Tidus, but isn’t a dream of the Fayth. He’s found trapped in stone and released? Or something similar? When Kappa is center, the audience learns what’s up with him.

Everyone is under a “Water Sign”.

Mono, Mucku, and Neth are still “Octalia” though they’re human bodies because their sign is an octopus, which gives them dark magic. Siren is under the shark, of course, which means he gets to keep his sharp teeth, etc.

Koi fish sign are supposed to be extinct, until Kappa. Holy magic carriers from a thousand years ago.

The Octalia defeated Labbu/Sin, but at a great cost. Before, a sacrifice would be chosen at random via a magic roulette that the Octalia refused to be apart of before as they felt sacrificing someone every ten years to keep Labbu happy before he goes on another rampage was the cowardly way out. They were despised for wanting to fight Labbu rather than appease him, and their people were spared from sacrifice (but not Labbu) for a century due to not joining the roulette.

(Don’t know what the roulette is yet)

Sacrificed persons are known as High Summoners and must still go through the whole shibang to get the final summon, which is the final offering.

Reason from the Octalia never worked and they finally decided to do something about it; they threw their hat in the ring, so to speak, and the new High Summoner was Mono. But the Octalia weren’t about to just sacrifice one of their own. Instead, they used it as an opportunity to get rid of Labbu for good, and succeeded... but now there’s only about a dozen of them left. Mono lost her voice, Mucku lost her memories, and Neth lost her arm per canon.

At some point Mono tosses whoever is Beclem into the ocean for being a piece of garbo, which is what Yuna should have done versus that stupid obstacle course. You have nothing to prove to that douchebag!

When Kappa is found by the Gullwings (keeping the name for now) he becomes part of their crew while trying to figure out this new era... doesn’t hurt that the Navigator is cute.

Like Yuna did for Brother, at some point Kappa overhears Siren very plainly confirming to someone else down at the bar he does have a crush on Kappa. Whoever “Brother” is is lamenting, part drunk, his crush on Mono and Siren reminds him Mono is gay. “Brother” suggests if only he was gay he could just date Siren, who pretends to gag. Siren reminds his friend gay doesn’t mean immediate attraction to every person of the same sex and he only puts up with “Brother” because he knows he’s a good guy who is willing to learn and grow. When “Brother” asks why Siren likes Kappa, Siren easily says “He’s cute, funny, sweet...”

Kappa likes seeing Siren as a mer-shark and makes terrible fishing pick-up lines at him.

[majosullivan]

I was feeling a underlying grossness with the clear implications that the flyfin created their own prophecy last episode, but actually reading it…it just makes my skin crawl. The absolute dehumanization of Kappa for their plan. The way they view his free will. How this connects to the way Fizz treated Siren. An absolute spit in the face to all the clear discomfort Kappa has shown to his role as the beacon even in the short time he’s known them, to the vulnerability Kappa showed in front of them when he admitted he didn’t care if he died when he tried to swim for surface, feelings that were a result of his life as the beacon. Seeing all the small bits of manipulative language they used going back…I don’t think I have the right words to describe just how gross Fizz’s words made me feel. There is something truly disturbed about him. The way his siblings are just behind him hollowly. They’re just as bad as him. Part of me has been wondering about the possibility that the flyfin had something to do with the whale’s past illness, as some form of attempt to wake them up that backfired. After this episode, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case

[majosullivan]

Oh…oh no…oh motherFUCKERS

[majosullivan]

Oh you blatant fucking liars, I want to say that I expected better from you two, but after the ending of last episode, I’m disappointed but not at all surprised

[majosullivan]

I’m very curious to learn more about the Flyfin in the rest of these season, both in regards to their people’s general connection to the whales now that we know that the whales take orders from the God of the Surface and clarifying where exactly the siblings’parents are (which could possibly give some explanation to why Fizz is…well Fizz)

<(52/??)>

[read more]

[majosullivan]

Fean: Do you ever see your siblings and just have this overwhelming urge to smack them for no reason? Like, Fizz or Finley will swim into the room and I’m like ‘oh man, I guess I have to end you.’

[majosullivan]

My thought process reading the end of this episode: I wonder where we’re cutting away to right now…with how sweet this episode was, I wouldn’t put it pass Wendy for Fizz to appear- oh it looks like we’re having a look at the whales. That’s interesting, I wond-

OH FUCKER

Castle Swimmer x Final Fantasy VIII AU Update

Update to the list (almost have a full character roster now)

Some minor plot stuff to share.

Ships are:

SuscaShoal

KappaSiren

GalooMono

Not Yet Used Castle Swimmer Characters:

Seko and other sharks not listed might just be random SeeD.

Herm

Castle Swimmer FFVIII: (? = May not even use this person)

Headmaster Cid - Susca

Edea - Shoal

Squall - Siren

Zell - Pagoon

Xu - Pim

Quistis - Neth (Does NOT have a crush on Siren, does NOT lose teaching position)

Raine/Ellone - Galoo (Has Ellone purpose but also a grown woman who helps the Octos out in the flashbacks, as well as temporarily acted as an orphanage aid while in hiding for a while?)

Rinoa - Kappa

Angelo - Worm/Arp

Dr. Kadowaki - Nee and Krilli (Mostly Nee)

Combo Irvine/Selphie - Silver

Seifer - Fizz (NOT Kappa’s ex)

Laguna - Mucku

Kiros - Neth

Ward - Mono

Ultimecia - Jengu

Adel - Labbu

Fujin and Raijin - Fean and Finley

Biggs and Wedge - Reesha and Roc

General Caraway - (NOT Kappa’s dad)

Deling - Tunny

NORG - Ogo

Dr. Odine - Whisker

Nida - Skiff

PLOT:

There is still a Destined Children prophecy like in the game. Galoo during her time in the orphanage foresees it, as well as what will happen if it’s ignored/not met. Susca wanted to prevent her child having to head a wholeass war, but it was also her husband’s “last wish” to fulfill the prophecy. She continued with the plans they made and hoped to arm Siren as best she could for the coming hardships.

Everyone knows not to mess with Pagoon and Pim.

Pim is also a teacher at the Garden. Gets along with Neth/they’re practically Work Wives (tho Pim is straight and Neth is still asexual, so platonic wifeys).

Siren finds out with the rest what his parents are up to and who the sorcerer is.

One scene during the break out fighting in the garden, Siren bites another person on the shoulder (always gotta have him have them sharky teeth~) and as blood is dribbling down gestures to the next person as if they’re being invited in. Person runs, horrified. Gross, but most “peaceful” method to end things immediately. Siren then has to wash his mouth out because the guy tasted like he hadn’t bathed in a week.

Castle Swimmer x Final Fantasy IX AU Update

Updated List

Got some plot in mind

This is the one most likely to see actual realization (though I kind of want to do all three now. Am I truly that dork, though? The answer is yes, yes I am).

In this AU, I may be forced to keep some characters from FFIX, though I realize that might be strange. In particular, I can't decide who should be Queen Brahne, Vivi, and Kuja... Maybe I'll take some characters from a different comic/game?

FFX-2 AU and FFVIII won't have mature content for sure, but the jokes and dialogue going on in my head for mature content in this is too strong. However, whatever mature content there is in this will only be indicated to keep some modicum of innocence (beyond some heavy kissing).

Ships:

MonoGaloo

KappaSiren

ShoalSusca

NOT Krilli and Nee, despite who they “represent”

Not Yet Used Castle Swimmer Characters:

Seko

Silver

Shoal

Labbu?

Tunny?

Whisk?

Galoo

Castle Swimmer FFIX:

Zidane - Kappa; will not be a sexual harasser and will only flirt with Siren

Garnet - Siren; not a spoiled brat and realizes his limitations, though he hates it (is determined to improve so he can be useful to everyone). Real name he remembers from childhood is “Siren”, which is the name he switches to instead of Dagger. Fake name Prince Diamond

Echo’s Moogles - Susca and the Sharks (people of the mist, and that’s all I’ll say to avoid spoilers)

Echo - Skiff (Child Skiff, who has a crush on Siren when they meet)

Amarant -

Freya -

ViVi -

Steiner - Nee

Quina - Ogo (”I must feast upon the frogs!”)

Beatrix - Krilli

King Cid -

Queen Hildegard -

Doc Tot - Herm

Ruby -

Fratley -

Puck -

Black Mages - ?

Mikoto - ?

The Genomes -

Garland - Surface God

Queen Brahne -

Lani - Jengu

Zorn and Thorn - Reesha and Roc

Kuja -

Black Waltz 1, 2, 3 -

Characters not Replacing Others:

Pim and Pagoon - Meet Siren along the way after he escapes kidnappers, learns how to fight then (when Garnet put everyone to sleep during dinner and separated. Siren will not be heading back to Alexandria of his own will, cuz he ain’t stupid.)

Worm/Arp - A pet Kappa carries in his bag

Tantalus:

Baku - Mucku

Blank - Mono

Cinna -

Marcus - Neth

Nero Bros - Fean, Finley, and Fizz

PLOT: (Not revealing planned scenes or anything I want to keep a surprise)

Siren’s real name is “Siren”. Prince Diamond was the name he was given at age 6 when he was essentially kidnapped. (Might keep Garnet because that has Bahamut, and apparently Garnet is a masculine name as well... But I like the subtle coorelation to Sailor Moon, hmmmmm...)

[ruvelli]

There are quite a few characters that won't be in use as of the time I made this list... But it had been a while since I played the game.

It's too many characters not to use, so I may either make the idea much, much smaller than the game or wait to plan more after I either replay it or watch it.

Additionally, unlike my other two AU's, Mucku, Mono, and Neth would be the "main characters". I just enjoy the idea of transferring their dynamic to this way too much. xD

Anyway, because there's a lot missing and a few details to etch out... Take this with a grain of salt for now.

(The only ones I'm certain about are Siren and the witches.)

Any characters missing are 100% as of this list not being used at all. The "?" indicates I might, but might not?

Characters not Replacing Others:

I’m thinking about writing either a Castle Swimmer characters in the FFIX or FFX-2 world fic.

I’ve got IX more fleshed out in my head, but X-2 seems funner…

I’ll make a list of character to what character later.

[ruvelli]

Again, forgot to mention I had a FFVIII one, too xD

So, I gave people "roles"... but in truth for the most part the cast is technically "original", as in I assigned Siren to Squall but he isn't technically in Squall's position.

Does that make sense?

Like, for instance, I made Susca Headmaster Cid and Shoal Edea and kept Siren as their son.

Siren also doesn't have the "I'm a loner who learns to make friends and trust others" conundrum.

Kappa is also technically Ellone, but obviously won't be Siren's cousin. (Whether I go angst and say they were childhood sweethearts until Kappa was forced to leave and keep in the GF memory swipe thing, or go some other route where I also make him "Rinoa"... not sure yet).

Anyway, here's a vague idea of the list--and with the above given, keep in mind things will be different than the game:

(Also, I kind of want to make Dr. Odine Herm... but Odine was a sick weirdo. Why Laguna didn't have him imprisoned or something and now trusts him so much is a mystery.)

[ruvelli]

Okay, here is the line-up I have so far for Final Fantasy IX... I may not be using all the FFIX characters (if I even write this fanfic).

Also forgot to mention last time I also had a FFVIII AU flying around in my head I like a bunch, too. LOL

Am I weird for this? Probably.

Also wanna mention that their (Siren and Kappa) mer forms do come into play with each AU. Siren's more than Kappa's in IX, and then Kappa's more than Siren's in X-2 Except maybe VIII... Haven't supposed how I might add the mer forms to VIII.

Also also, I have two versions for my IX idea, but this is the one that seems more workable.

If anyone is interested in seeing the other idea for a line-up and why (or if I get bored and feel like adding it) let me know and I probably will.
