“Pinned Via (Ass)” Sonia: Hm? Oh, sorry, didn't see you there. You must be Wicke, right? It's rare to meet someone almost my size.
Wicke gazed up past the curves of tremendous buttock blotting out the sky, barely conntained in their fabric shielding, squishing into trees and buildings and her own landscape-dwarfing form!
Sure to leave an hourglass-shaped crater in the ground, Wicke struggled, without success. “Ah... good to meet you too, dear...!” she managed to say. Goodness, how many children had this young lady already bore? Or by what means had she made herself so powerful, to grow so large?!

Describe + Wicke's hair and butt.
Her hair:extremely big and fluffy, individual strands VERY poofy, as wide asyour finger is long. Her hair isn’t styled to look the way it does,it just grows that way! Because of how bouffant it is, her hair isVERY soft to the touch, as soft as her super squishy and huggablebody is. A huge poofy swell at the top, and little spikes that gofrom below her ears and curve beneath her jawline. This is a bigmorphological trait with her; even when she assumes non-human forms,no matter how different she becomes, there is always some quality ordesign of her head to suggest this hair. If she was a Transformer,she’d have poofy head plates in the same shape as her hair, forexample.
Her butt: hugelypadded, as befits a top tier Hot Mom; it projects out for aconsiderable amount, and her booty fat is highly condensed and VERYsolid. Unbelievably soft and jiggly, bouncing with the slightestmovement, but it is so strong it can deflect artillery! A lot of hermagic goes right there, which shows in her butt size.
Even when she istotally powered down and is locking away the bulk of her magicalenergies, each booty cheek can be as large as her upper torso. And Isay again, each! She requires a Wicke-sized chair for each half ofher butt, and they tend to break a lot beneath the strain.
Her Pokemonattributes can also affect her butt; she can manifest Ditto traits,for example, and make her backside the gelatinous substance of aDitto and suck things in, or make it EXTRA jiggly and bouncy. That’ssaying a LOT.

Wicke, can i give you a (platonic) kiss? 'Cause you're just so cute that i can't help BUT to give you at least a little one.
Wicke claps a fewfingers to her plump lower lips, smiling sweetly. Her eyes areclosed, behind her thick glasses, and when she moves her hand away,her fingers have lipstick on them. “Oh, you sweet anon… of courseyou may!”
She leansforward. Coincidentally, or perhaps not, she does so in a way thather monstrously big breasts hang forward, moving juuuust enough tonear bump into you! Just a brief little contact, the slighest touch,but she slides forward encouragingly. It’s not a sexual move,though. It’s like a hug, as gentle as a blanket being wrapped uponyour shoulders.
Of course she hasto lean down a LOT. She is a LOT bigger than the prospectivesmoocher; seeing as how she varies from twelve feet tall to ‘canuse galaxies as stepping stones’, she can always have the heightadvantage! She tilts her face the other direction, and gently steersyou closer. But first, she gives you a gentle kiss of her own.
“You’re notjust sweet, you’re cute yourself, dear!”

Do you have any headcanons on Iris, Melony and Wicke you'd like to share?
Iris: she loves dressing up and feeling pretty, though she feels she shouldn’t. She thinks it goes against her cool, badass persona, but her more elaborate outfits are her leaning more towards this part of herself; she’s not a fashionista by any means, and her taste in clothing is... kinda tasteless, to be honest! But she knows what she likes.
crossthicc iris headcanon: she greatly admires dragons, wyverns (animallistc dragon variations) and other beasts of all sorts, and is gradually transforming into a dragon monster girl herself. She’s found herself a mentor in Lady Sybil Ramkin, a noblewoman of high status and higher respect in draconic circles, and Iris may have been taught by her since childhood; as they are both noblewomen, it works out the same!
Melony: Her motherly attitude is genuine, but its not her core; she is genuinely rather cold, even harsh and unyielding, as stern as the glaciers and hard-bitten cliffs themselves. She is kind and sweet because she has chosen to be, not because she’s naturally that way.
crossthicc Melony headcanon: She’s essentially the sci fi version of an ancient highlander warrior-queen, thrust into a situation where endless war to protect you and yours is no longer sensible or entirely practical, and while she’s having some difficulty adjusting, she is doing her best. she CRAVES a good fight, and does not really hold back except to ensure the fairest, most entertaining battle.
Wicke; She’s extremely non confrontational, to the point of being almost avoidant; she REALLY doesn’t like rocking the boat, for fear of making things worse, and so while she was in rebellion against Lusamine’s plans, she dealt with it by using subtler means and arranging things so that other, more combat-suited people could deal with her, and she cleared the way for them. She’s also not above setting things up so she is in charge, though she’s far from power hungry; she simply thinks she can help everyone that way, and views it as service to the good of all.
crossthicc wicke headcanon: she’s absurdly strong since she’s had thousands of children (human, pokegirl hybrids, and more), many cybernetic and bio-enchancements tested out on herself, and she’s gone through scores of increasingly better bodies, but this isn’t readily appearant. Wicke isn’t inclined to fight, though she does love adventuring and exploring lost places for treasures and making contact with new societies, so few realize how powerful she is. At full power, Wicke becomes so massive she can swallow up galaxies on accident, and her boobs and butt grow to such immense proportions they warp gravity around them like a super massive black hole.

concept, supervillains who do classic supervillain things like rob banks, attack cities with giant monsters, giant robots, or turn into robotic giant monster girls, and otherwise do traditional villain things, but here’s the kicker; it’s their literal job.
namely, they are employed to periodically fight heroes, make a ruckus and show good sportmanship about it. they are hired to perform big exciting feats and effectively play the heel against the heroines.
so you have giant hyper-thicc villain ladies who hit all the marks; sexy outfits, badass demeanors, big and melodramatic speeches and fights with their heroine rivals (whom they are probably dating) but the point is to put on a show, look cool, and do something fun for people to watch. the fights and rivalries are televised and people love it
this is worked into civic operations; villains who set up attacks usually wind up destroying buildings that are slated for demolition, or the hero fight is set atop one. its not SUPER organized, the villains and heroes pretty much do what they want, but they are expected to at least pay attention to this kind of thing, and they get incentivized to focus damage onto such areas.
genuine collateral damage varies; with alchemizing, buildings can be restored, but they absolutely must never do genuine harm and it is against their code of ethics to ever do so. (swallowing townspeople whole is not considered doing harm. usually its part of the show and they get reformed if digested; its considered like getting an autograph, really0
these villain ladies also tend to work their social platforms into their villainy as a cunning way of spreading a message; after all, people listen to a villain and even if they are doing naughty things, they’ll at least consider what she has to say. so its a way for people to get a message out.
this sort of occupation is most common in the Fleet, where it is a VERY popular job; many heroines have a villain identity where they can play rival to a friend and just act as deliciously wicked as they want, but its all part of the persona!
effectively this villains-as-job are a public spectacle for people to enjoy, does good bonding between superpowered friends, and the types of villains are along the lines of Megamind; they have a code of conduct and STANDARDS. also they probably go to shopping malls and give people autographs. they are Fun villains, not malicious ones ever!
the Cobalt Stingers also definitely have this as a job, but they hire themselves out as professional villains.

“They say that in the past, humans worshiped this god.” Wicke raised a hand, almost reverently, towards the carved stone.
Aradia Megido regarded with interest, her tremendously stacked body barely managing to fit into the place of worship, and it struck her that this chamber was old. Age clung to the scorched stone, and the air was heavy, as though loathe to leave its accustomed space for long.
The architecture was unquestionably humanlike, but not any she could recall encountering. She wished Damara was here; she was the xenologist! She admired the tall and smooth lines of design, all the same, and whistled in appreciation at how large it all was. Murals lined the walls, depicting divine beings doing battle, dying and rising again, over and over, and she wondered what it meant.
She kept going to the statue. It looked like a monster; a tall and bipedal beast, nearly as tall as it was wide. Enormously muscular and solid, its reptilian lines suggesting hints of both simian and whale. A long tail curled below it, massive spikes ran down its back all the way to its tail tip, and she could see cuts along the throat where some artist had tried to convey gills.
Its expression, as much as could be read in the open jaws, was pain. It’s mouth opened wide in a snarl of agony, the eyes were shaped to suggest fury to the point of madness, and the powerful body was marked everywhere with scars. Burns, puncture wounds, hooked tears, and bloodier wounds were easy to imagine.
Wicke leaned closer, her eyes half-lidded. “Gojira,” she said softly. “The god of suffering and torment.”
“He was a human god of torture?”
“No! Well, depending on how you looked at it. He was the god of those who were suffering. He was a god of enduring pain, avenging it and bringing low those who inflicted it upon others. He was an embodiment of retribution and, I think, punishing hubris.”
Aradia and her left the temple shortly there afterwards.
The flames of worship lit up all on their own.
And in the deeps of the divine realms, someone opened his eyes for the first time in eons.
A god doesn’t need people to believe in them to live again.
Knowledge alone can be enough.

Jazz: TAKE COVER! EVERYBOT FOR THEMSELVES! WHEELJACK IS ABOUT TO DO AN EXPERIMENT! Wheeljack: Oh come on, i don’t blow up THAT often. Ratchet: Correct, not often, but all the time, and i am going to run away now.
Wheeljack scoffed; originating from a deep province in Simfur away from Functionalist control and the breeding programs that kept non-humanoid face patterns from appearing, she didn’t have a mouth (at the moment) but the express light-fins at the side of her head communicated displeasure. “Hmph!” When she spoke, the fins brightened and dimmed with the syllables. It was kind of like an audio visualizer. “You punks, stuff only blows up when I want it to!”
Jazz crossed her arms; considerably thicker in build (as befit someone with a top-line construction chassis), and she had unusual dexterity in adjusting it. Just the tilt of her hips and multiple sections of waist conveyed smirking doubt. Her actual smirk helped. “I’m getting outta here before it goes sky high!” She transformed into her current alt mode of choice, a very fancy shuttle car, and zoomed away to a safe distance.
Ratchet (older, heavily scarred and built like the ambulance truck she turned into) sighed. Her optics dimmed and she retreated behind the nearest barrier.
“Aw, c’mon!” Wheeljack complained. “You too? Fine! I’ll SHOW YOU ALL!”
Wheeljack said that a lot when she was annoyed. Not a great sign.
She pulled the lever, she put the toast into place, and then, she dared to flip the coins. Next came the fire extinguishers, the popcorn salt, the myriad other factors in this experiment...
Eventually, there was an explosion.
In the very same building, as the glass blew up and heavy robots landed, Wheeljack yelling about workign out what she did wrong, Wicke glanced up and sighed. “Ah. It must be Tuesday again. About time for Wheeljack to start.”
Mei and Symmetra, working in the same lab complex as her that day, nodded briefly, lowering their protective shields (an ice wall and a hard light construct in the shape of a stop sign saying ‘NO’).

Red Lantern Alighting
In the dark, there was loss.
In ages so often made dark and grim by the selfishness and vainglory of those who measured personal achievement in mountains of the dead, there were plenty who looked up from the bottom of the heap, and found something there.
Jackboots ground down on their faces, and the warlords who destroyed their lives cared nothing for the suffering they wrought. Tyrants, fascists, conquerors and world-wreckers all simply did their thing, and like incredibly inattentive farmers, did not realize what they were sowing.
The people ground down on the bottom learned well what it meant to suffer. To lose everything. And in the pits, in the slave arenas and at the end of an overseer’s whip, they learned the shape of hate.
And one day, on so many worlds stained with suffering, made into something filthy by despair and torment, a red star bloomed in the sky.
And those who suffered the most, burning on the inside, found a clawed hand extended to them.
And in his claws, there was a ring offered out to them.
“Make them pay.”
-------
It was a common rumor, perhaps to pass the time, but there was enough of an edge to it to suggest some panic that remained in the news, all the same:
Ten thousand worlds are burning.
To many across the places touched by the Eunoianet, the magical web of communications, stories, and media that connected the Fleet worlds and kept their culture alive, there was some mild interest. Plenty took the news literally, and organized fire brigade fleets to put the fires out.
Blaster, an Endowed Autobot with a keen interest in xenosociology particularly as related to culture and music, thought something was off the moment she first heard the specific phrasing, and its connections to conflicts on a chain of interstellar empires.
“Ten thousands worlds,” as she told her team, “Is a kenning.” Her team gave her politely incomprehensible looks. With a look of delight, one of her daughters (a minibot named Rewind) eagerly leaned out of her seat, visor shining bright, faceplate wiggling excitedly.
Wicke, possibly one of Blaster’s closest friends in the theoretical engineering sub-sets, opened her mouth to say that she knew what it meant. Blaster shook her head repeatedly. ‘Let Rewind have her moment!’
Rewind spoke up. Like many minibots, she was human-sized; about seven feet tall, but so incredibly thick that she was almost that wide too (at least at the chest-mounted Energon tanks and her impressively massive hips), her heavily plated exterior indicating her preferred alt mode of a tanky attack drone. As she began to speak, her present siblings (both of them beastformers; a moody red robot rhino named Ramhorn and a yellow leonine tracker called Steeljaw) rolled their optics. “Did you all know? A kenning! Is a common term for a culture-specific metaphor, usually tied to folklore. Typically it is a shorthand for a more complicated concept, you see!”
Wicke, shifting about and balancing her gargantuan breasts onto legs easily thick enough to be bust-supporting shelves, nodded. “And what might this kenning refer to, dear?”
The other two of this particular mission winced at Rewind went into a needlessly and painful convoluted explanation with too much time spent on unnecessary asides on cultural context. Bismuth, rolled her temporary optics and tried to nap. A tricky thing considering that to save on space, she had installed her Gem into a fembot shell that at least matched her amazonian, outrageously curvy true form, but one of the things it couldn’t do was sleep. Smaller even than Rewind was arguably the most famous of them all; Toshinori Yagi, better known by his professional name All Might; once a massive tower of muscle and masculine charm, his self-sacrificing job as a Fleet champion had left him an emaciated wreck, his powers too dangerous to access often. Nonetheless, his experience made him a highly skilled mech pilot to channel his spirit. He was doing his best to pretend to be listening but was clearly suffering.
The gist of the lecture, in any case, was this: ‘a thousand worlds is slang, in this little intersection between a dozen or so little empires, for all known worlds’.
“So,” Toshinori said gravely after some thought. “It’s a great deal more serious than even ten thousand individual worlds!”
Bismuth’s fembot shell shrugged its expansive shoulders. “Honestly, you sure it’s even appropriate for us to get involved? I mean, I’m all for intervening, but the people in this area…” Her shell’s emoticon-displaying face cycled through a number of uncomfortable expressions. “They’re not gonna be welcoming or appreciate us.”
“The power structure could use a shake-up,” Steeljaw observed, his voice cultured, deliberately refined. This was the voice of a cat-bot who could somehow hold a cup with his pinky-claw out. It was a strange thing to see from someone who had grown up in a society where setting yourself on fire was considered a good icebreaker. “They’re… well, I shouldn’t SAY they are dreadful tyrants, by and by, but alas…”
“Can we kick their ass?” Ramhorn said hopefully. “Please tell me, we get to do some tyrant toppling!”
They looked at Blaster, to see what her vote might be. She thought about it and shrugged. “Personally I’d rather do what we can if trouble comes to us; I won’t say no to rescue, even if the folks around here yell at us. But actively dismantling their empire, however deserved, is really not a good idea. We’d need to work things out better before we decide if we have the RIGHT to do that or not.”
The ship approached the first world to investigate, and Toshinori’s eyes widened, the modded dark patches around them accentuating his shock. “I… do not believe we will have the opportunity! Look!”
They looked out.
The flames were bright on the windows, even from super-orbit.
They had seen continents, entire landmasses, on fire before.
They hadn’t often seen the landmasses in question rearranged to spell out an extremely crude message.
“...Ah,” Wicke said, wincing. “I suppose the worlds being on fire was not entirely a metaphor, then.”
The ship found stable orbit, relatively safe from most sensors, and with their on-board alchemizers and raw materials, it was a simple matter to build an observation station to live in and wait to come to some kind of a conclusion. If there was a problem with the Fleet’s organization, Blaster mused, it was that waiting for every participating citizen to come to some kind of a consensus took forever, even with cybernetic telepathic stations to work it out. At least with this small group, it was easier to work it out.
Rewind and Blaster were considered the best at stealth to go down and put the fires out; Wicke was undoubtedly the most powerful but her raw power made her inefficient at HIDING her presence, and they weren’t sure if they were ready for confrontation. Bismuth waiting for the all clear (and once she got it, she alchemized terraforming rainfall that put the fires out in days), and Toshinori had many sterling qualities to make him such a paragon, they put his face in the Big Book of How To Hero. Holding back or being stealthy was NOT one of those traits.
Before Bismuth got to work, Rewind gave her report to the others:
“Most strange, so very strange indeed? Did you know, it is very strange for there to be no one left on the planet?”
“The place WAS on fire,” Bismuth had said. Sourly, she had added, “Maybe they were attacking each other… this whole region is a mess of conquerors trying to kill each other. Yeerks looking for better hosts to enslave, elven supremacists, orks that kill everything just to get a better fight out of it…”
Rewind nodded. “Yes, certainly! But, there were NO bodies! Not on the scale that we ought to have seen!” She had paused, looking uncomfortable. “At the very least, those bodies were not killed by the fire.”
Wicke frowned. “What do you mean?”
Rewind was equipped with recording abilities, in her role as a scout. She did warn them first, though, that it would be graphic; Wicke often was employed as a coroner to study the bodies of metanatural encounters, Bismuth was a vetern of many revolutions, and Toshinori had been a hero for a very long time. All of them were acquainted with brutality.
Even so, they were taken aback by the horrors on the screen. “Oh… Arceus’ peg…” Wicke said softly, as they showed them ashen streets and bodies that were by then mostly… pulled apart. Heads were mounted on spikes, and were the only recognizable bit. Everything else had been torn apart, burned so badly and then pulverized into a meaty pulp to coat buildings and streets.
The Fleet was a rough place, and its heroes tended towards extreme fury and ferocity as a rule; nonetheless, this was extreme, even by the standards Wicke knew. “I thought you said fire hadn’t killed them?”
“Analysis indicates that they WERE burned to death, but not by the fires we see. It was a different sort of burning inconsistent with what’s ravaging the planets.
Bismuth had examined several other such photos. She was a ferocious fighter, even by the standards of her Dinobot partners (long since married to them, by this point), but even the greatest savagery of Grimlock or the combined fury of Volcanicus had a point; the shock was intended to terrify the enemy into retreat, or encourage allies to greater morale. This felt more like just randomized lashing out.
Toshinori didn’t much like what he was looking at. “Infighting, perhaps? This is just so… excessive, though. Why would they kill each other so brutally?”
“Rivalries? Combat doctrine?” Ramhorn suggested.
“Or maybe whoever killed them was really angry,” Bismuth suggested. “I’ve done stuff that… okay, not as bad as THIS but… when you’ve been ground done long enough, you’d be surprised what happens when you let that monster off its leash.”
Toshinori considered this. His eyes widened. “Oh…! Rewind, Blaster! You said there were no bodies found, yes?”
“Indeed, sir!” Rewind said. “No bodies besides these!”
“No ashes, then?”
“None that would fit the profile of the bodies, or any traces of incinerated corpses on the scale of an entire population.”
Toshinori looked thoughtful. “Perhaps there are no survivors because they have already been evacuated from the world.”
Bismuth brightened up. “Oh! That’d be a relief.” Perhaps thinking along the same lines as whatever was prompting Toshinori, she compared the visible mounted heads, stabbed on display by whoever had been angry enough to burn the whole planet down, and compared them with all Fleet records of multiversally-wanted villains.
Most of them matched someone on the lists, with the ones who weren’t at least suspected of awful crimes. Bismuth did not much dwell on the evil deeds attached to them; it was sickening to behold, but it was enough to know that very evil men and women had died this day. “Check this out. I compared the skulls to records of some serious bad guys, and they’re all… yeah, the multiverse is better off without them.”
Toshinori nodded. “As I suspected.”
Steeljaw was several times the size of Toshinori (who was tall for a human, but puny by Fleet women standards), but he gave him an adoring look nonetheless. “Sir, do you perhaps have an idea?”
Toshinori looked thoughtful. “Let us at least consider the idea that the downtrodden of this world may have had their opportunity to rise up, at least.”
“You think so?” Wicke said, raising an eyebrow. “This much destruction is rather excessive.”
“People who have suffered terribly, all their lives, often do not have much reason to hold back once they have the opportunity to strike!”
“True enough.” Wicke had turned, and other matters called their attention.
Bismuth’s terraformers conjured forth enough rain, with a mild connection to the Elemental Plane of Water, to put out the fires and render the planet suitable for all of them to at least walk on. Several days onwards, they landed to investigate properly.
As they suspected, there was no life on the planet anywhere. Blaster had flown across the planet in her preferred aerial form with a massive armory of sensory drones, and there was no signs of life; no organic presence, no living movement, no hints of the electromagnetic activity that marked the presence of synthetic life forms. And the ashes of burned things did not account for all the inhabitants being dead, either.
Several days, the mystery continued to deepen as they continued the search on other worlds, and the pattern on the first repeated itself. Uncannily the same, at that.
And it WAS a pattern; Wicke was certain.
Above them, far in the sky, a red star seemed to appear; the figure within watched them dispassionately, weighing their hearts.
They shone bright and good. But, he judged, they did not have the burning anger he sought out.
He contemplated the Gem, however. There was the spark of fury there…. Perhaps later, then.
The red light flew away, leaving the battleground behind.
And in the meantime, unaware of this, Blaster’s team continued to search. Unexpectedly, they found something interesting on one of the cities that hadn’t quite been exploded.
Blaster was over sixty feet tall, her minibot offspring incorporated into her body in cassette forms and channeling their power to her, so she could achieve a far greater size and curve level than normal, and she had to be careful not to let her waist-level bustline demolish things worse. Slowly she leaned forward, studying something on the wall. “I found something!”
Bismuth was in her true form now that she had room to grow, and she stood over a hundred and twenty feet, not even a trickle of her full power being used. SHe wasn’t just an amazon, she was a gigantic gray-blue beauty, her multi-colored dreadlocks shining bright, her gem core just barely visible in the cleavage of two massive breasts with lower slopes extending past her mighty thighs. Power crackled in her hard light body, and she was cheerfully refusing to reign it in. (“This much awesome DESERVES to be on display!” she had boasted, and kissed her biceps.) “Whatcha got there, Blast?”
Toshinori approached. While he did have his own powers, they were so strong as to be a serious threat to his emaciated body, and he preferred to channel them through powered exoskeleton frames; in this case, he operated a mech slightly too large to be considered power armor, but small enough to operate on a human scale, which seemed to be the standard size on this world. It looked like a brightly colored egg, with powerful limbs to channel his energies through and punch things, and a colorful aura of energy created a luminous V-shape above him from the back.
Its sensors relayed it to him. Toshinori studied it. “Graffiti, or perhaps a calling card.”
Wicke, standing at a very far distance from everyone else in case she suddenly needed to grow to fight (and would thus need a LOT of space; she could exceed planetary size without even putting in effort), linked up to Toshinori’s mech to see it for herself. “It IS more recent. I think this was left as a message.”
It was all red against the slag; a bright cherry-red color that would have been friendly if not for it being carved into the collected skulls of, apparently, the most cruel and hateful tyrants in the entire system. It had been burned into them, in fact, possibly by whatever had set the planets on fire, and then painted over.
It looked a little bit, then, like a round circle. Two vertical lines were set on either side, with additional zags moving outwards over that. There was a short message, written in an unfamiliar script similar to the Daedric alphabet. “A curious sign,” Rewind communed to Blaster. “It resembles that of the Green Lantern Order.”
“Green Lanterns?” Blaster said aloud.
Toshinori shifted. “Green Lanterns, did you say?” He looked at the sign. Bismuth and Wicke were running a translation cipher, comparing the letters to the most likely solutions. “They were an ancient order of heroes! They predated the Cataclysm by many eons; I suspect the last of them perished trying to fight that disaster, though they left behind relics and lore.” He patted his chest proudly. “My heroic predecessor, One For All, supposedly refined the power I carry with Green Lantern secrets!”
“So perhaps whoever did this was evoking their legacy?” Blaster said. Well, Ramhorn asked, and she relayed it.
Toshinori considered it. “I think that is possible, but it would be an odd thing. The symbol is different; the Green Lantern sigil was a, well, a lantern, with horizontal lines above and below.” He pointed out another thing: two circles inside the sign, at angles. “Nothing like that there. And it was green, of course. Not… well, red.”
Bismuth glanced aside. “It does look like a lantern, though.”
“Yes,” Blaster said thoughtfully, surrounded by charred landscape, burned by the rage of those suffering for so long. “A red lantern.”
“Got it!” Wicke said triumphantly. “The script originates from Beforus! A curious thing; It hasn’t been spoken since Beforus.was lost; it is similar to various forms that have derived from it since then, but… oh, just a digression, not that important.”
Rewind perked up, eager to hear more, but Blaster was in a hurry. “So why Beforus? It’s not anywhere near here, and these worlds didn’t have a significant troll population.”
“Yes. That is the difficult part. And the language is fairly obscure; there are a few figures who survived Beforus and gained the ability to avoid aging who would still speak it, but I can’t imagine what they would be doing here.”
The Condesce, Blaster thought. The Dolorosa, mother of vampires. The Grand Highblood. The Blue Arrow and executioner of the degenerate. The Psiionic, sailor of the stars. And the others, the founders of modern troll-kind and preservationists of their culture; most were within the Fleet, and all of them had at least spent some time with it, in the past. Most were accounted for.
But not at all.
Bismuth frowned as the translation software ran. “The symbol thing is a bit wonky; someone chipped away a few bits here and there. See?”
“Yes,” Toshinori said. “It looks a bit like like an incomplete circle, then. I wonder if it was sending a message?”
Blaster leaned in. “And with those little circles inside, it kind of looks like the astrological sign for Cancer, doesn’t it?”
“Ah, it does!”
Blaster chuckled. “Now that’s obscure, what does that even-”
Oh. OH.
Bright red colored. Mutant red.
A sign that looked like what trolls called the Iron Manacles, the Crab Claws.
And Beforan script, as would be remembered by someone who had actually lived through the fall of Beforus.
And now, she realized, she had seen this level of brutal destructiveness, this unfettered and passionate rage.
She kept it to herself for now. “Is that translation ready?”
“Yes,” said Wicke. She cleared her throat, and spoke aloud. “Bear in mind, this is quite a rough translation, and the software likes poetic meter, but nonetheless, this should get the spirit across.”
Wicke translated thusly:
“With blood and rage of crimson red,
“Passed on by those long dead.
“Together with our righteous hate,
“We will burn them all.
“No one else will share our fate.”
Wicke finished. “And it is signed… I think it translates as the Anointed.  Of… the Red Lantern Corps? I don’t suppose you know anyone by that term.”
“None that fit the situation,” Toshinori said. Bismuth said much the same.
“Kankri Vantas the first.”
Blaster said this heavily, with mounting shock.
The name called to mind a fussy and passive-aggressively angry young troll, a bit older than the likes of Terezi and her generation. “Uh, are you sure you have the right guy?” Bismuth said. “Kankri, you said? Chubby, really pretty? Has a really bad case of pent-up anger he needs to deal with?”
“Not him,” Bismuth said. “The other one.”
“What other one, I don’t- oh.” Bismuth’s eyes widened. “Oh.”
“The Sufferer.” Toshinori said, horrified. “He’s here!?”
“Or he was. It fits his… preference for rising up. But on a bigger scale. And of course, the Anointed is what Beforan religious practices named him. He’s never liked being called the Sufferer or the Signless.”
There was silence, then, for a time.
It was not bad news, exactly. But it was certainly concerning.
The Signless, the Suffferer or whatever you might call him, had come here. He had… slaughtered the worst of these worlds, and had done something with everyone else. The wording indicated numbers; the ‘we’ and all’. Perhaps… he had been recruiting?
For what?
They stared at the sign of a red lantern, shaped to be like the sign of suffering among trolls; an icon of enduring the unspeakable, a sign for those fighting to make a kinder world even if you did it on a tide of blood.
Kankri Vantas of Beforus was the kindest of his people. A living prophet to some, handing down law and covenant to mortals, fulfilling ancient prophecies and setting people free. He was a just man, a good man.
And he was also someone who had waged wars so bloody that even the Condesce, a woman no stranger to cruelty and ferocity, had been afraid of his savagery.
“Let’s get back up and upload our findings to the Eunoianet,” Blaster suggested. “We need to figure out what to do from here. And someone give the word to Karkat Vantas that I need to have a talk with him,” she said wearily.
“We’ve found his ancestor.”
-----
(It should be noted that some elements of this fic aren’t exactly in chronlogical order.
Yes, the Signless is the leader of the Red Lanterns here, rather than Atrocitus. As it is, they are the only extant Lanterns, but the others will soon arise, more likely than not. This much is certain!
However, I’ve planned for Signless’ Red Lanterns to predate the Fleet, at least as a fully functional organization. He may either have been making it during his initial time with the Fleet, or at some point, the proto-Fleet’s founding families discovered relics that the Signless was inspired to create the first Red Power Battery and rings from; it could be that he’s only recently made them fully practical and is expanding his Corps’ reach.
They are intended as heroes; merciless, angry and destructive, but they are good guys all the same. Their job is to make the monsters fuckin’ BURN. They are not antagonists, but the Fleet does not yet know what to make of them!)

it was just a dang genealogy record
Terezi sashayed onto a booth, one of the omnipresent little communications broadcasting to every cranial-mounted relay and telepathic network implant so that everyone in the fleet would hear her, and just barely managing to cram her frankly ludicrous curves into it, she made her case. “I know this sounds dull and way too bookkeeping-ish, but we need to install a genealogy records library.”
Every single thousand-plus member of the fleet responded in turn, and it took time for the system to filter it through.
“Yeah, sure,” agreed the Dinobots collectively. “Makes sense.”
The Gems were generally bewildered. Rose Quartz asked, “What,- what is a genealogy?” And some other gems echoed this.
On another ship, Sierra said, with the perfect assurance of someone who had no idea what they were talking about, said, “It’s the science of making your jeans look real nice.”
“NO,” said Undyne haughtily, on a lone fighter craft. “It’s for keeping track of your ancestors and kids!”
“Ohhh,” The Chystral Gems replied.
There was a long pause and then a lot of arguging amid the fleet that amounted to ‘why do we need one then?’.
Wicke, one of the curviest humans of all and with about the biggest hair to boot, softly cleared her voice. “Ah... I believe I understand. We are all pumping out children at a rate of a dozen every few months... and they will grow up, and want their own families, but considering how we romance anyone nearby without worry, this might cause some... ah.”
“Some what?” prompted Meulin Leijon.
Wicke sighed. There was no delicate way to say it. “We want to avoid our children accidentally finding mates with half-siblings, and a genealogy library would avoid that.”
There was much debate and arguing, but in the end, it was agreed that this was for the best, and so, over the course of many years, one was constructed to avoid the whole ‘accidental inbreeding’ issue.
However, such knowledge also provided evidence of which mods might be inherited. Valuable, combat-grade mods. The ones barred from ever being publicly sold.
It was an easy moment for a spy, traveling for a time with the fleet, to locate a copy.
And so, when they spy returned to their base, and presented a minor corporate lord of the feudal lands of the Miscella hyper corporation with a list of people who had inherited powerful abilities, that they could be reverse engineered from, it would prove to be a serious complication indeed.

things crossthicc Hermione has absolutely done:
told off Magnus the Red to his face he’s being an immature and hypocritical jerk and actually getting away with it. somehow she’s become something like the person who is less powerful than him AND less experienced but she has way more emotional intelligence and knows he’s fooling himself, so she’s like the hyper competent subordinate.
shrugged off the fact that as Magnus is the god of human magical potential, he is technically her god. “Perhaps, but he should ACT like it.” he threw a fit but conceded the point.
managed to arrange a peace agreement with the notoriously wary Yangchen without ceding the Great Library’s territory to her. usually yangchen operates on ‘comply or die’, doing diplomacy with her is a great feat
wiped out an entire army division of wicked Commonwealth forces using only her ravenous belly, a teleportation spell, enough magical power to teleport all four thousand of them and all their mechs and psi-pods into her stomach, and all on complete accident. She was AIMING for the bagel, not a belly the size of an aircraft carrier.
has simultaneously had all popular ships for her carry on at once, while adopting a total dommy MILF vibe with them all, apparently without realizing it either.
inspired no less than sixteen solar systems worth of robots doomed to subjugation to throw off their chains, rise up and battle against their creators.
invented an entire new field of magical academics centered around the study of math so complicated it literally distorts the universe.
developed a butt so big it broke a castle. ordinary not that much of an accomplishment, but as the castle in question was a theoretically infinite plane of existence, it raised a LOT of questions.

crossthicc wonder woman ideas
to round out these DC thoughts i need to collect and work out some of my thoughts on Wonder Woman. not sure i have a solid read on where I want her to go in my AUs but here are a few vauge ideas:
she’s a goddess here. not a demi-goddess but a full on actual goddess; she is worshiped by the Fleet and everything. The Wonder Woman seen in-story is an avatar; special clay statues dedicated to liberty and utopian ideas are carved in her image (not easy, given her curves tend to make the statues break under their own bustiness), and she takes over them, bringing them to life in a parallel to her ‘made from clay’ origin story!
the goddess of WHAT, exactly, i don’t know; possibly she is a benign war goddess with connections to heroism, truth, and justice. she’s likely more of a goddess of heroism
she is big. REALLY BIG. absolutely ludicrously big. like imagine someone as big as you possibly can and multiply it by ‘wow that’s a lot’. she is even bigger than that. planet-sized scale is easy-peasy for her. this is her avatar form powers, too; in her truly godly might, she definies all reality as being JUST big enough to accomodate her. Her hips, breasts and butt are equally gigantic, too, and she usually has a huge amazonian body; big muscles, broad shoulders, a motherly frame, and a winning grin. she’s not an amazon for nothing!
secret societies of utopian warrior woman of gigantic size are all over the place and the result of her empowering mortals in a process similar to Endowment; imagine the canonical island of the Amazons but its just one of many similar places, made in her image and working to uphold her vision of absolute unity and freedom for all beings.
absolutely a sweetheart; this version of Wonder Woman is a good-hearted, gentle heroine. very boisterous, dramatic. she tends to be huggy and delighted by small things. has no capacity for ennui or NOT being surprised by things. sometimes this is fun; she never gets bored. sometimes it’s bad; she can’t really move on from things, emotionally.
she’s not particularly kill-happy; she is WILLING to do so, if it is absolutely necessary, but she sees it as a measure of last resort and a sign of personal failure if she cannot resolve it otherwise. Her goal is to save others, even if its from their own destructive urges or short-sighted impulses. her weapons are all built for non-lethal options; her blades cut away the resolve to hurt, for example. legend claims that her belly is an eternal prison for the most wicked of monsters, where they shall be perpetually digested and sealed away, their power used to make her strong and feed the cause of Justice throughout all reality. Others believe that they will be reborn, in time, within her and given a new chance, so its a temporary state.
just as fertile as she is incredibly massive, which is to say a Lot. a mother goddess of incredible fecundity, she has entire legions of warrior women of every species, more monstrous but equally heroic offspring, and mundane god-touched children. She also tends to adopt beings of divine origin who have been abandoned by their pantheons or had connections to them severed, and is the adoptive mother of countless demigods. Her best god-buddy is Thor. he’s a rowdy farmer with anger management issues but a lot of heart and immortal goats. She’s a buxom amazon with a mandate for peace and THE WORLDS BEST GUNSHOW. together, they fight god-crimes! given that the greek gods are A-okay for use, she is nominally a member of the pantheon, but she is understood to be fated to eventually overthrow Zeus as his most powerful child. some religious cults believe, though, that he is HER child, and she will one day take the throne from him when she can no longer stomach his behavior. She’s got a friendly rivalry with a younger war god, Kratos, who is presently hanging around the Norse God Loki for unknown reasons.

When bored, how do they pass time? 78. How do they act when they’re particularly happy? For: Odina, Tamm, Wicke, Tionishia, Centorea, 18, 21 and Mama Defleni.
under read more because it got kinda long
4. most embarassing memory
Odina: Shit. Thisone time, uh. This one time, i was in the same room as one of thoseinfinite magic creating generators they dig up from time to time. Andyeah, me? And something with limitless magic? My ass got so huge itswelled up and got me stuck, right in a doorway. I was trapped therefor HOURS. Some shithead used me for furniture, they sat on my buttand slept there! God… so mortifiying.
Tamm: In my earlydays of learning to take on a bird form, I got lost in the body. Abody you take does have its own instincts and it can overwhelm yourmind; some take on a new form and it takes their mind, and theyforget who they are, becoming just another creature with faintmemories of someone who is gone now. Fortunately I didn’t go thatfar, but I did wind up eating carrion and little bugs. Theembarassing bit? A student saw me do it, and never let me forget…!
Wicke: OnceLusamine and I wore matching uniforms, along with our assistants, topresent the image of a united group to our backers, this being beforethe Aether Foundation became a distinct organization, mind you! Theproblem is, the tailors weren’t given my own… extreme…dimensions in mind and the hips were far too small! The skirt justshredded when i tried to walk; I had to spend all day trying to avoida wardrobe failure and I just know they noticed…!
Tionishia: I oncehad a human boyfriend and I greeted him with a hug so tight he… ah,had some back trouble. It was so embarassign! I learned the hard waythat humans are rather fragile, you know?
Centorea: As youknow, things around here tend to get more than a little odd with thetransformations. The first time I grew a few extra set of breasts onmy horse section, rather like an udder I suppose, I got… verymilky. And sensitive. And unfortunately I sat down on my speciallyadapted couch but didn’t realize someone was on it, and thatsomeone was Suu. There were complications but a long story short, aLOT of milk flooded everywhere and then right into her; she gotkaiju-sized and we had a DEVIL of a time calming her down…! Ugh.How dreadful.
Android 18: I gotsome energy absorbing relay coils installed and I dared Krillin totest them out with some ki projectile fastball. I caught ‘em, yeah.Not so good at the CONTROLLING the blasts thing. Accidentally losthold of the things and blew a huge hole in our house. Ugh, lookinglike a loser in front of your cute, tiny husband… awful.
Android 21: Ionce turned all of the planet Jupiter into a giant chocolate ball. Iwas AIMING for an asteroid, but, well, my aim isn’t always perfect!And of course, so much tasty sweetness got me hungry and I would haveeaten it all if I hadn’t been stopped…! As it is, well, now thereare more than one gaps in it.
Mama Defleini: Afriend hugged me from behind when I wasn’t expecting it and…well, I gushed ink EVERYWHERE. Milk ink, at that, over the entireauditorium. And since I was playing on a band at the time, there isphotographic evidence. Tends to come up when I am trying to beserious, which is not at all helpful!
17. What are theylike when they’re drunk?
Odina:Surprisingly mellow, a bit passive, but even more of a stone wallthan usual. Tends to just ignore everything.
Tamm: Very much abit of a chatterbox!
Wicke: Extremelysweet and affectionate, tries to be helpful and often just falls onyou.
Tionishia: Veryhuggy; this is both dangerous from her immense strength, and comfy,because at least her massive bust is soft!
Centorea: Becomesunexpectedly gloomy, but swings into happy mode for no apparentreason.
Android 18: Angrydrunk, MEAN drunk. She will fight you for looking in her generaldirection, or breathing near her and sucking up her air. She willfight you and it will hurt.
Android 21:Becomes very hungry and eats random stuff; will start chewing ontables and gets really sleepy, really fast.
Mama Defleini:Not really any change at all, but she becomes a bit more talkativethan normal.
20. Fears?
Odina: Shequietly dreads that, one day, she’ll turn on her magical powers andit won’t turn off; she’ll keep draining and growing without beingable to stop it. She’s also scared of getting caught up insomething that’ll go VERY badly for her, and get her killed orworse.
Tamm: Herdaughter killing her, again. Alternatively, she dreads the return ofthe loathsome True Fae from their mysterious realm, for when theycome, they will leave nothing behind.
Wicke: Beinghelpless to stop something truly evil and wretched, or worse, beingcomplicit in it. She dreads her own potential passivity.
Tionishia: Herimmense strength killing a human, or similar species. Just hug sohard, and then hear a horrible little snap. And then, blood onher arms, and a death on her hands.
Centorea: Failureto uphold her duties, so that her lord and her family dies on herwatch. More than that, she fears failing to uphold her oaths and thatshe may act in a dishonorable way, shaming herself irredeemably.
Android 18:Becoming destitute and homeless again, and worse, dooming her familyto the same fate. She would do anything rather than suffer such adoom, and it motivates her to some ruthless acts.
Android 21:Losing control of herself, and becoming a mindlessly gluttonous andcruel monster that would devour her own children, friends and alliesjust to slake the fiend she has become. She dreads the multiversebeing broken by her appetite.
Mama Defleini:She speaks little of her own fears. But in the depths, she has knownthat SOMETHING is coming, however distant, and she hears the echos ofsomething vast and indifferent to mortal suffering, and it is coming.She fears, more than anything, that the ages will  come and destroyall that she has built… and worse, that she can do nothing to stopit.
21. Favorite kindof weather?
Odina: “I likeit rainy, a bit stormy. Feels good, you know?”
Tamm: “As longas it is wet, I enjoy it. Heavy rain is my preferred sort.”
Wicke: “I loveit sunny, more than anything! GIve me open sun and strong light!”
Tionishia:“Strong winds, and cool, dampness.”
Centorea: “Iprefer my days a bit cloudy, to be honest.”
Android 18:“Overcast. When it’s sunny, it’s too hot. Rain is not fun,either. Snow’s the worst. That shit can kill you.”
Android 21: “Idon’t have a preference, honestly! I like it cool, but that mayjust be my body; easier to hold myself together, and it’s not thatmuch of a fondness.”
Mama Defleini:“Mist and cool weathers please me the most.”
22. Favoritecolor?
Odina: “Red, Iguess?”
Tamm: “Purplesare lovely!”
Wicke: “I lovepink! It’s my favorite.”
Tionishia:“Yellows look cute and heroic!”
Centorea: “Ilean towards blues, I suppose!”
Android 18:“Black.”
Android 21: “Ido love greens.”
Mama Defleini:“Magenta, dear. Can’t you tell?” (Rubs her tentaclesaffectionately)
23. Do theycollect anything?
Odina: Collectsvideo games, preferably ones that are a bit more obscure or havegenres unknown in the modern day.
Tamm: Likes tocollect little knick-knacks and enchant them; her chambers andworkplaces resemble a witch’s cottage mixed with a magpie nest.
Wicke: Herfriends joke she gets younger boyfriends. She generally collectsplush toys of all sorts, ranging from obscure toylines to variationsof a given model, and takes pleasure in organizing them to the minutedetail.
Tionishia: Cuteaccesories and fancy hats!
Centorea:Collections of medieval books, old lore, and Arthurian legendry fromover the ages.
Android 18:Books. Until recently they were a luxury for her; they’reexpensive, difficult to carry on the go, and require careful keeping,so she was unable to have any until she and her brother came to theattention of the Red Ribbon army. Now she takes pride in being ableto get as many as she wants.
Android 21: Worksby influential figures she respects; also comic books and manga ofall kinds! She prefers lighthearted and jokey things instead of moregrim or serious material.
Mama Defleini:Apparently, ships. Not model ships or toys; ACTUAL ships. Presumablysome of these are relics from her time as the Kraken of legend, butshe’s diversified into spaceships in the here and now.
61. When bored,how do they pass the time?
Odina: “I liketo read. And enjoy the boredom; it don’t last long, usually.”
Tamm:“Birdwatching is usually a fine hobby to pass the time.”
Wicke: “I liketo take naps, dear! Or perhaps watch some television.”
Tionishia: “Iplay with the local pets; with the people we associate with, there’splenty to find!”
Centorea: “Iwork out! A knight must always refine her body, for it is her finesttool!”
Android 18:“Watch TV, I guess.”
Android 21: “Iread as well!”
Mama Defleini:“Painting, usually of visions I experience or of the unreal imageryI am heir to. It tends to give mortals headache to look at them, butI think they’re pretty.”
78. How do theyact when particularly happy?
Odina: Verymellow; tihs ia clue in itself, as she is normally very guarded andgrim. Any sign of happiness at all is a pretty damn big deal!
Tamm: Softsmiles, gentle asides, ocassionally some faint noises that sound abit like pleased chirps. She’s not too demonstrative of herfeelings.
Wicke:Ebulliently cheerful, almost radiant! She becomes a beacon ofemotional light!
Tionishia:Extremely huggy, to the point that her grasp over how much strongershe is becomes looser than usual, and spines are put to GREAT stresesfrom her hugs. From her arm strength, and her massive boobs; theymight be soft and milky but they’re also EXTREMELY heavy
Centorea: shetries to be tactiturn, in the image of the unflappable knight, butwhen super happy, she ironically acts more like the lady of a courtlyromance; flushng over small feelings, beaming brightly, and speakingin poetic phrase. It’s noticable since usually she IS somewhatstoic.
Android 18: whenhappy, she tends to loosen up a lot; she leans back, probably plopsinto a couch (possibly breaking it) and gets friends/family inaffectionate headlocks. Her happy tends to have a bit of the ‘flirtygirl bully’ vibe.
Android 21: Itcan honestly be difficult to tell, as she doesn’t act TOOdifferently from how she mght otherwise, but she acts a lot like herrobot son Android 16, whose core personality was her biological son;she gets a little more open, more expressive, and she doesn’t seemso closed off.
Mama Defleini: Ingeneral she affects an air of genteel cheeriness; there’s not a lotof interplay between her moods of ‘not super happy’ and‘genuinely super happy’. When she’s sincerely happy, though,she gets very warm and easy going, and parts of her body becoming abit more ink-goo than normal. She literally loosens up!

villainous in crossthicc thoughts
I watched Villainous a while ago and i totally dig it, and naturally it turned my mind towards thoughts of ‘how can i Jam this into Crossthicc continuity’, as is my every waking thought
objectively, my first thought is that they be aligned with the Cobalt Stingers, because for the MOST part, they ding every part of the Cobalts’ themes. Villain-types but ones that aren’t on the wrong side of my personal sliding scale of irredeemable/evil action and intent? Check? Comedic, fun and in it for their own means, but not sadistic? Check!
MOSTLY, they are perfect for the Stingers, with only a mild need to tone them down here or there for them to fit in just right.
for the most part, this isn’t hard! Dimencia and Flug are, as mentioned, classic examples of the Cobalt Stingers. They’re villains, yes, but they’re not irreedeemable. They’re fun villains! They’re the kind of characters that, if they ran into heroes that weren’t massive jerks, you could very easily see them developing a friendly Megamind-esque rivalry where the fights are treated as spectacle and a day job, and off the clock, they’re perfectly civil.
Dimencia is a special case because her canonical voracious tendencies lend her VERY well to this settings emphasis on devouring powers. Give her a bit more shapeshifting traits to do more with that, and she’d work great! (Also perhaps shift her focus from Black Hat to Vriska. Or perhaps anyone she views as a sufificently commanding figure, as a consequence of whatever psychological alterations made her.)
But... there’s a reason i keep saying ‘mostly’.
That would be Black Hat, who is the main reason I can’t just toss them into the Cobalt Stingers. He has a more interesting situation that requires some delicacy!
Out of all of them, he is the one who i have a really hard time pinning, and who strikes me as a legitimately Big Bad Wicked Dude worthy of crusades against; while he’s not THAT bad in canon, at least on screen, he gives every indication that if the series didn’t have a comedic tone, he would unleash horrors beyond your imaginings. He’s coded heavily as an eldritch horror beyond the likes of even Aku, and he definitely delivers on the ‘genuinely malicious’ front, even if he doesn’t hit my personal ‘oh, fUCK YOU’ buttons. (He’s too fun to be totally bad, basically.)
So how to handle him?
well firstly, his group provides something I’ve been wanting to do but have been unable to come up with a suitable set up for; an organization that caters to supervillains, providing them all they need for their schemes (upgrades for their powers, minions, evil lairs, resources for epic schemes, and so forth), and may hire them out as mercenaries to all the potential factions for different story possibilities. For example, the Endowed Fleet come up against them in a confrontation, or even hire them out for a risky dig, that sorta thing. A combination of all the ‘bad guy organization’ type concepts, with a bit of explaination for how evil villains get all the cool stuff without it necessarily being logical for them to have acquired it.
Secondly. Since he is the odd one out, my idea is that Black Hat used to be the omnipotent villain he is in canon. and may be a primal incarnation of evil schemes. Not of evil itself, but a personification of the root idea behind the supervillain; a mighty antagonist and proactive force that demands others challenge it. he was THE Supervillain, the first one.
Then, he went against Vriska, during some of her initial adventures when she was establishing her space pirate empire, and he thought to work her into his organization, challenging her to a duel.
He LOST.
And as she does, she drained him dry, sucking away his immense power for herself, leaving him vastly depowered, and provided him a choice: work for her, and maybe work his way into her good graces. Or, she’d finish him off, right there. He agreed.
Now his villainous organization is still nominally independent, in that it hires itself out to anyone who wants its services or people. In practice? It is a part of the Cobalt Stingers, and most of its employees are Cobalt citizens of varying standing. They also have ironclad rules for who they are hired out to; they do SUPERVILLAIN stuff. emphasis on super: they’ll rob banks, attack headquarters, turn a city into jello or steal the concept of awesomeness, but they don’t do genuinely reprehensible things that hit the ‘real world horror’ button too much, like participating in the slave trade or creating things that destroy the mind in some way.
This isn’t really due to ethics. Black Hat has no moral code or ethics. But he does have standards and he refuses to partake in things of that nature. In the same way, he won’t have anything to do with the Imperial Commonwealth or the more loathsome elements of the Cartels.
as it is, Black Hat is openly a Starscream to Vriska; he does good in her eyes, and accepts the power she gives him as a reward, and he is patiently waiting until he is strong enough to take her own and claim her powers for his own, and become an omniversal power once more. He’s quite open about it, and Vriska approves; it’s fun to have someone gunning for you! Keeps the wits sharp and all.

Pokemon in Crossthicc - Overview
Pokemon and its relevant stuff in Crossthicc! This is gonna be a long one, requiring several posts, so bear with me on this one.
First off, some thoughts on the character line ups. Most of the canon Pokemon trainers, professors, gym leaders and other characters are either associated with the Endowed Fleet, or living within their territories without actually being IN the Fleet. Trainer like Misty, May and other important characters are probably Endowed, as are the Gym Leaders, professors and other ladies like Wicke, Lenora and so forth. They’re a kind of mixture of MILFy heroines and summoner-type magic users. Most professors are researchers into giant monsters and magic in general, with Pokemon being tied into both, and Gym Leaders (including all related jobs from the games/anime series, such as breeders, Alolan captains and Kahunas) tend to be independant adventurers and treasure hunters.
In general, the more heroic Pokemon characters, and Pokemon of every species, are part of the Endowed Fleet and main cast, with the most prominent among them being Wicke, gym leader-types like Lenora and Olivia, and the most prominent trainer characters like Misty. Most of them, especially characters and Pokemon tied to previous generations, were originally a part of the Smash Fleet prior to it merging with the Endowed Fleet.
Lusamine and a good portion of the Aether Foundation form the scientific backbone of the Cobalt Stingers. Lusamine is one of Vriska’s top people, and has a great deal to do with the way their mod development process works, both their refinement into highly expensive products with many benefits, and her habit of testing them on random groupie serfs.
Popular trainer classes (such as Hex Maniac) are individual characters here! That said, the core idea of those trainer classes are present in the form of common roles the trainers may use or adopt as they grow; they likely use different names, if they even have specific terms for, say, someone who uses the powers granted by Pokemon partners into disciplined raw power (Black Belts).
Most of the criminal Teams are still their own thing; defeated in past exploits, but largely still around. A few exceptions: Team Skull is a major part of the Fleet, and a lot of their iconography is popular in the fleet’s outfit styles. (Bonehead is a common term for scavenger units, in reference to Team Skull and the scav’s own stubbornness.) Team Rocket is a powerful criminal empire that initially started as a part of the Imperial Commonwealth but is growing into its own force, and Team Aqua is also a part of the Stingers. Other Teams are still present as their own thing, but either greatly reduced, in hiding, or just a total mystery.
Now, the Pokemon themselves. Unlike canon, Pokemon and the human characters are not from a specific world at all, but a multiversal phenomenon; Pokemon materialize from all over the place, and I DO mean materialize in a very literal sense. Trainers and all people who work with Pokemon in canon are translated into occupations that fit into the setting of Crossthicc, akin to summoners. Pokemon are a good deal weirder here and a lot more mystical in nature.
Pokemon, here, are not really animal-like beings, nor are they simply races of monstrous sapient beings with powerful abilities. They are explicitly animistic personifications of broad elemental concepts that make up the universe, taking on forms and concepts that are relevant to them, and when they are born into the material world, they must take on the weakest forms that can express their nature; the baby or initial evolutionary stages from canon. Consider them as being like spirits, or even summons, and would make excellent summons for the setting as a whole. It’s a bit of a shortcut for Pokemon, as otherwise they must grow in experience, calling down more and more power from a raw font of their essence from beyond, and as they power up, they develop into more complex and powerful shapes. In short, they evolve! And they MUST bond with a mortal soul to do this, to grow; they can’t really do it on their own, and rely on the experiences of others to expand their horizons.
Legendary Pokemon are explicitly gods here; not like gods, not so powerful they might as well be gods, but they are actively worshiped across the multiverse, empowering clerics and paladins,and once materialized in avatars that carried only a small portion of their powers but were nonetheless shockingly mighty. When they arise, the multiverse quakes, and that is only with a tiny fraction of their potential.
Pokemon can breed, though there is a difference between them spontaneously emerging in the ether, being summoned into being, or being born via pregnancy and eggs. In particular,  the former are initially more powerful and akin to ‘wild’ Pokemon; they’re much more reliant on mortal viewpoints to grow, and tend to prefer their more monstrous, elemental forms. They can be kind of weird, in the fashion of angels that are SO good that they’re a little alien. Pokemon born in eggs or through mortal pregnancies, are more in tune with mortal viewpoints, but have a harder time expressing their powers. They invariably treat their monster girl/boy forms as their default, and revert to it in times of stress, having some trouble shifting outside it. These are most akin to ‘trained’ Pokemon from canon, and are the most common.
And as per this AU’s theme, they are VERY big, ranging from kaiju-sized when they’re really trying, and even at smaller sizes Pokemon that are canonically small are nonetheless large enough to ride. And they can transform into humanoid monster girl/boy forms, which follow the usual rules of thiccness power in this AU. Powerful Pokemon are often extremely giant-y, and VERY curvy!
They are fully intelligent, sapient beings, and should generally be written as being almost angelic, wise entities with a bit of a wild edge. They’re very empathic, receptive to feelings from those they bond with, and Pokemon training is a friendship experience for them; if a Pokemon challenges you, it wants to go with you if you’re strong enough. The partnership goes both ways; as Pokemon grow strong, the trainer becomes more powerful, and a strong enough bond even allows one to fuse with the other, merging into a more powerful being that embodies their friendship. Across many worlds, before the cataclysm, across all species, Pokemon would teach mortals and be taught in return, both growing and continuously evolving.
At least, that’s how it used to be. But the corruption broke all Pokemon.
During the cataclysm, the magical catastrophes and shockwaves of so much death terrorized all things sensitive to such currents, driving many spirits into demonhood from sheer trauma. Negative emotions overwhelmed many magical beings, causing them to go berserk or become overwhelmed by invading forces welling out of the magical realms, adding to the death tolls. The Pokemon were especially badly hit, their minds dissolving and their powers going completely out of control, growing to massive size and becoming monstrous caricatures of their former selves. The Legendaries, the gods who derived from Pokemon, have been unable to soothe them until recent times, and even the Legendaries themselves, at least those most closely tied to the mortal planes and embodying mortal concepts, had their mortal vessels driven berserk as well.
If you’ve played Pokemon Colosseum and its sequel and recognize Shadow Pokemon here, it's very similar! But imagine that… mixed with Shin Godzilla, the apocalyptic rampage induced by traumatized horror and unending pain, and you can appreciate the scale of the horrors going on here.
The Pokemon are lost. Corrupted, driven totally feral by fear and the lingering deaths of untold trillions of souls, dying over and over again in their minds, and all this pain DESTROYS that Pokemon. The pain floods them, and all they can do is lash out, their natures becoming wild and knowing nothing but pain and fear. And in this, they have lost control of their bodies, weaponizing it purely in their most destructive force in a desperate attempt at self-defense.
Nonetheless. Even in this state, their longing to touch a mortal soul and find true friends, to create bonds across species and share their power with others remains still. To become more than what they are. Mortal hearts can touch them, remind them who they really are… and free them.
A dedicated human partner (a trainer) can bond with them, gentling their hearts and banishing the horrors they have witnessed and done, until the Pokemon gradually reverts to its true form, mind fully restored. Pokemon characters who work with Pokemon in canon are, in the AU, all particularly skilled at this and even specialize in it, but owing to the nature of Pokemon here, are more akin to summoners and spiritual mediums than monster trainers or researchers. Assume that any younger characters born into the Fleet and raised among its customs are at least familiar with what you have to do, so they can all at least calm down a feral Pokemon. Bringing back the Pokemon is a priority among the fleet, as is finding a way to bring back all the Legendary gods, who are presently lost within the magical realms and dominating vast swathes of it, their presence distorting the physical realm and causing horrific disasters. Journeying to save them from themselves and reconnect them with their godhead sources in the outer planes is a quest of epic proportions, and of dire importance. Legendaries embody the fundamental forces of existence, and are some of the most important gods remaining. They MUST be helped.
Corrupted Pokemon are analogous to Wild Pokemon from the games, mixed with pitable but highly destructive kaiju. Pokemon naturally born into the mortal realms, or those who have bonded with summoners enough to be moderated by their perspectives and freed of corruption, are akin to Trained Pokemon from canon.
Some general clarification:
There is no single Pokemon world or setting. Instead, Pokemon are native to all worlds and used to randomly show up in places that resonated with them or called them. Those born in the mortal realms tend to form their own societies here and there, while the most powerful ones from the spirit realms are most often summoned and that the two are really the same was not common knowledge. All Pokemon, but for a few, are still corrupted; the few born in recent times are not, but all others, including the Legendaries, must be helped. The canonical trainers, Gym leaders, professors and other human characters are, if still human, descended from Earth nationalities that correspond to the real life inspirations for their respective regions. Follow up posts will assume that they are human, but alternative ideas for them are VERY welcome!
Wild Pokemon are effectively all corrupted and totally feral, in the vein of Shadow Pokemon. They are broken and in pain, randomly lashing out and exploding in destructive fits. They are EXTREMELY large, many hundreds of feet tall and horrific to behold, elemental forces incarnate. With their sheer power, subduing them by force is an extremely poor idea.
Once freed from corruption, Pokemon can assume forms similar to their canon appearances and use their abilities freely, and these are explicitly magical in nature. They are, in fact, divine, as Pokemon are essentially mortal incarnations of certain principles of reality. They can also merge with people they are especially close to, granting them use of their powers, and monsterize that person with more of the Pokemon’s characteristics and giving them more power, though the person tends to become more wild. Once restored to their true selves, Pokemon follow the ‘totally sapient and probably smarter than humans’ interpretation of canon, and are equal members of the fleet or whatever organizations around ‘em. They might also fulfill the role of all purpose magical entities, or summon spirits; assume that purified ancient Pokemon fall into the latter category, and the monster girl versions must work to tap into their ancestral power and call it down, so they are also summoners in a way.
Pokemon here are FAR larger than in canon; they’re scaled up to giants, and can sizeshift freely to act as steeds, guardians or whatnot; Ash’s Pikachu, for example, is large enough for him to ride it into battle while also punching things. Assume that any given Pokemon can be as large as they feel like… within reason. While Pokemon are absurdly powerful, they do have individual limits and they’re often rather restricted in what they CAN do; they require experience to draw more of their power into their material forms.
Pokemon can also transform into two ways; they can morph into bipedal anthropomorphic monster girls (that tend to be extremely thicc, in proportion to their powers), or they can willingly transform into gigantic kaijus similar to their corrupted forms, but fully controlled; guardian monsters. These tend to be pretty dang monstrous and very elemental in nature. Pokemon born into the mortal realms, as mentioned earlier, tend to treat monster people forms as their baseline, while the Pokemon from the spiritual realms tend to prefer a kaiju-like form; those who have a strong enough bond with summoners may compromise with a giantess form, and something similar would apply to natural-born Pokemon..
Pokemon shifted into anthro form are scaled to an appropriate size: a Pikachu or Bidoof girl is going to be on the smaller size (perhaps 15 feet or so), while a Nidoqueen MILF is going to tower at at least fifty feet. The ones infamous for being big, like Wailord, will be FAR larger giantesses, on par with giantess-scaled aircraft. They otherwise have the same thiccness ratio as others; more powerful Pokemon are larger than normal and grow indefinitely, and are hyper curvaceous to suit their power levels. They can, as any other being, mod themselves up and even develop mutations appropriate for them.
All Pokemon species, save Legendaries, are represented within the Fleet, Stingers, and other factions that suit them. They provide an excellent source of powers, appearance mods, and traits from Pokemon are extremely common mutations on all people within the fleet. Natural-born Pokemon are also likely to be random populations, though are so divorced from their origins that they are likely to be very weak and indistinguishable from ordinary beastfolk; rediscovering their true heritage is a big moment for them. “Don’t you know what you ARE?”

Pokemon in Crossthicc - Teams, Aether Foundation
TEAMS
The various criminal organizations within Pokemon’s canon are present in Crossthicc, though generally as foes that have already been defeated in the past; most of them are shadows of what they were, working in the shadows to accomplish their goals, and perhaps part of the various conspiracies littering the AU.
All of them, though, even if they’ve been beaten, are very large. These are not organizations that span a single country or even multiple ones, but having enough manpower, influence and resources to dominate solar systems, if not rule their own intergalactic empires. Accordingly, they are a lot more powerful than they are in canon, even in defeat. They’re also often linked to pre-existing empires, conspiracies and groups. They are generally as diverse as any other group in terms of species. Given how ‘wild’ Pokemon are effectively severely traumatized spirits, this casts many of these Teams in a more sinister light than in canon.
First one off here is:
Aether Foundation! Initially a scientific assortment of many different species and worlds that had recovered sufficiently to go into outer space and realize that the monster attacks weren’t isolated, their mandate was to investigate the origins of those monsters and all related entities. Eventually they diverged from this towards specifically researching Pokemon and how they had descended into feral savagery when once they had been spiritual teachers and guardians. Under its director, Lusamine, this further developed into them finding a way to make use of them and grow more powerful. The Foundation wound up in the middle of a great conflict; early in the history of the Cobalts and Endowed, both factions encountered the Foundation and it dissolved in the wake of that adventure, with most of it following Lusamine to the Stingers; those who genuinely believed in its cover image of conservation went to the public sector.
The image of the Aether Foundation and it’s uniforms have become a core part of the Stinger’s visual aesthetic. Clean smooth lines, elegant one-piece bodysuits, stark white colors and extremely form-fitting fabrics have been married to the Stinger’s love for gaudy accessories and glamorous shiny things for a signature look; combine the Foundation’s canon uniforms, space opera it up a bit, and add a LOT of shiny things and you have the Stinger’s look. Appropriately, this contrasts well with the Fleet’s Team Skull-esque outfit styles.
The Foundation has two members of great importance to the AU:
Wicke: A compassionate and gentle soul striving to understand rather than exploit, she had issues with the leadership and had actually left long ago, eventually being discovered by a band of survivors called Team Skull and becoming the Skull Mom, with a huge collection of devoted followers and boytoys to take care of; Guzma, most of all, and her influence made him a much more temperate person in this AU. She never forgot her failures to stem the Foundation’s abuses, though, and after Skull joined the Fleet, she convinced her new friends to help her stop the Foundation; she’s now one of the Fleet’s top scientists and researcher into magical studies. She is Endowed herself, with a number of Pokemon-derived mods and powers (generally Psychic in nature, with some Fairy as well), and has the classic hyper curvy build, with more emphasis on her massive hips and her impossibly gigantic hair. She is absurdly powerful, due to the sheer number of children she’s had, though she’s not much of a fighter. At her full, maximum size… well, she has no upper limit in terms of size, and she’s been bigger than galaxies when fully unleashed, though she prefers not to fight at all. She’s instead a protective supporter, who would rather stay at the Fleet doing Science and protecting the smaller ones! She definitely has a lot of intelligence boosting mods, and is one of the greatest scientific and Pokemon authorities in the entire Fleet, and to pretty much anyone they meet, too.
She’s a bit cagey about her origins, but she’s indicated to her loved ones (of which she has no small amount of admirers and lovers) that she was originally from a high-class metropolitan world that came under attack from the otherworldly monsters, and her talent for research got her noticed. As a result she has somewhat higher standards of living than most, but she’s adapted pretty well, and doesn’t seem to mind the Fleet’s usual dress code of ‘a thrift store exploded at you’. She does tend to get awkward about how little it covers, though.
She’s usually very large even when powered down, indicating her sheer strength; forty feet is a common size, but she can get smaller, but never less than twelve feet. She hasn’t bonded that much with different Pokemon, but she has demonstrated mutations matching the Stufful/Bewear line of Pokemon, including strong claws, alterations to her body that make her look like a living plushie (complete with stitches), and bear ears. She’s also got a whole group of Dittos, and can transform parts of her body into an amorphous pink mass that can absorb people, harden or get stretchy, and transform into anything she is at least somewhat familiar with.
Lusamine: Initially, she was secretly working with the Ringers, though she was unaware that was their true nature. She nonetheless gleaned something of their intentions, and used their resources anyway in order to fulfill her experimental goals. She happily signed up with Vriska’s crew, and formed the beginnings of their scientific crew. To this day she is one of their main heads of research, developing very powerful and extensive power sets and mods, derived from Legendaries themselves, and she is positively thrilled to have a budget that can actually keep up with her ideas, not to mention a patron that tolerates her grandiose schemes and plots; Lusamine is a major instigator within the Stingers, constantly seeking out new things for them to do or steal, and she’s slowly shifting from a selfish mentality into a bit more of a team player. She’s since proclaimed herself the Stinger Research President, and since the Cobalts trade titles and ranks around in card games and battles, its impressive she’s held onto it for so long; according to rumor, she has never been bested.
Lusamine’s origins are also a mystery, but she is apparently from the same world as Wicke, with the same broad origins. Unlike Wicke, though, she maneuvered herself into a high position of authority, from which she was able to develop the Aether Foundation, and retains this drive for power. Not necessarily out of ambition alone, but her interest in producing the best gene mods and making herself the finest in her chosen field requires that she stand higher than anyone else. At least, she feels this way. She was once good friends with Wicke, but they’ve since become fierce rivals, even if it's mostly from Lusamine’s direction.
Lusamine is extremely large; not as big as Wicke, though she is constantly trying to best her old friend and rival and make herself ever larger to compete with her. At the very least, she can easily boast over thirty feet without even activating any of her secondary powers or mods, and can grow over a hundred when fully powered up. She employs many Pokemon mutations, including from the Clefairy line (huge fairy wings, tail additions), the Misdreavus line (hair mutations and shadow-themed powers), Milotic (serpentine traits, naga body), but most of all her close connection to Nihilego gives her arms made of a transparent substance and some subtle jellyfish girl attributes. At will, she can transform her arms into several, extremely powerful tentacles.

Crossthicc AU - base roster!
The fleet was originally a meeting of several smaller groups that joined together for survival, hit it off well, and opted to remain together indefinitely. They met some other groups, and over time, added more and more, and have reproduced and brought in more people until they have hit their current size.
Note that with the use of longevity treatments, the crew is a lot older than they look; some of them, otherwise normal humans, may be hundreds of years old. The fleet itself may possibly be that old, too.
These original groups include:
A group of humans called the Neon Deathclaws, comprising a number of characters from Total Drama Island, reimagined as Vault Hunter-style mercenaries and treasure hunters from an obscure human world. Their leader, a team mom and fangirl called Sierra, is the wielder of the Gestat and the champion of the fleet as a whole. Her fellow mercs include: Lindsay (mega-busty friendly ditz who’s smarter than she lets on), Leshawna (Mom-Friend and emotional tank), Jasmine (wasteland survivalist who likes extreme conditions far too much), Courtney (founder of fleet logistics on the grounds that SOMEONE has to), Gwen (in a relationship with Courtney and doing really badly at not being amazed at their strange adventures), Crimson (actually IS good at not being perturbed by weirdness) and many others who are in less adventurous positions. Since TDI has so many characters, a lot of their positions are unclear; go ahead and ask me if you want clarification on where someone may or may not be.
Sierra herself is, in a sense, the ‘star’ of the fic, or at least a central fixture. She is responsible for how the fleet can exist in the first place, and her mysterious magical artifact and newfound powers allow them to do things like periodic FTL travel and create the superpowers that let them reshape themselves as they please. She is the ultimate mom-friend and overly excited to mass produce tons of babies with every conceivable form of sapient life; if a named character exists and has any interest in potentially having children, assume Sierra has a crush on them and, with her complete lack of restraint, already had a dozen children with them. She does not know what a chill is.
The Expedition Hive Explorers, incorporating several of the trolls from Homestuck. As trolls are considered caretakers of humans here, they hit it off well with the Neon Deathclaws, becoming fast friends. Led by Terezi Pyrope, who uses her mental powers and prophetic abilities to help guide them through the planes of magic when doing FTL jumps, and she has also managed to incorporate the powers of all other troll castes into her; rust telekinesis, bronze animal communion, yellow psionics, whatever it is limes do, jade vampire-ness, cerulean mind control, purple mind alteration and influences, and the sea dweller ability to breath underwater, with a combined physical power of all castes. She hopes to one day work out how to do this for all other trolls and make them all as powerful as her.
There is some evidence that Terezi and several of her friends (as well as Vriska Serket, a rival of hers that leads a pirate fleet) are incarnations of ancient gods embodying concepts essential to the universe, such as Time, Space, and so forth, with Terezi embodying Mind. By adventuring, they may find a way to fully reclaim their lost power and ascend to true godhood, and work out how this happened to them in the first place.
Other trolls in the group include: Karkat Vantas (Terezi’s sidekick, boytoy and dance battler), Equius Zahhak (engineer and professional Sensible Guy), Feferi Peixes (biotech enthusiast, spooky medic and founder of the fleet’s medical specialists), Nepeta Leijon (monster hunter and cute patoot), Konyyl Okimaw, Bronya Ursama, Chahut Maenad, and many other trolls, at least a hundred. Several ancient trolls originally hailing from the troll’s lost homeworld, Beforus, have since joined up, most notably the Disciple, Dolorosa and the Handmaid following adventures when they were met.
The Awakened Ancient Autobots. A group of Autobots who survived the destruction of their homeworld and the persecutions by the wicked Decepticon Empire, searching for the missing Optimus Prime and seeking to honor his dream of a just society where all are free to choose their own fate. Led mainly by Grimlock and Elita-1, in a ‘Grimlock is their champion, Elita-1 is their military icon’, but also including a number of other important figures. This includes several sub-teams, including the Dinobots (of them, Swoop, Sludge and Snarl are hyper thicc amazon fembots) are female here, the Technobots (children of the Dinobots, all fembots here), the Raptoricons (maybe?), the Torchbearers, and perhaps the Monsterbots, who are most likely fembots in their robot modes. Individual Transformers include Blackarachnia (the Beast Wars version, with emphasis on the science-y), Arcee (Prime continuity, with some IDW), Strongarm from RID2016, as well as a collection of minor characters retooled to fit this AU, as well as the Maximals from Beast Wars who appeared in the toyline but not the series proper, and generally fembots here as well.
With the use of special powers by studying ancient relics of religious significance to Cybertron, most of the fleet’s Autobots have been modified so they can adopt new alt forms on the fly, even maintaining a stock of up to seven different forms they can switch up freely, though it is physically stressful to do so. Not all of them choose to do so; for instance, Grimlock prefers his T-Rex mode and while he can transform into a monster truck, tank and bomber plane, he really hates that. Beastformers like him or the other Dinobots instead adopt additional beast forms or ‘inbetween’ humanoid beast forms. Sludge of the Dinobots, for instance, can transform into a ferocious Spinosaurus in addition to her native Apatosaurus mode, and goes by Scorn in this state.
The flipside of all that is that any given Transformer can turn into whatever vehicles are required by their friends.
The final group was originally a rock band led by the last free Diamond of the Gem homeworld; the Gems, a species of sapient stones that process magical energy and that can manifest this magic into female-presenting light bodies measuring more than dozens of feet tall, had a long-standing conflict with the Transformers of Cybertron, culminating in a massive war between the Decepticon Empire and Homeworld. When it ended, Homeworld had ceased to exist, all surviving Gems had scattered to the stars, and all the Diamonds were imprisoned as living ornaments upon the claws of the Decepticon’s Emperor of Destruction, Lord Megatron. All, that is, save the Diamond that had been made wrong: Pink Diamond.
She had already left her fellow matriarchs after growing weary of their suffocating control and, to her, appalling treatment of all life that was not themselves, becoming a wander among the stars along with those of her court that proved loyal to her, as well as defectors from other Diamond courts that believed in her vision. AFter the fall of Homeworld, they hid their nature as Gems, living many thousands of lives as aliens, and in one such life time, Pink Diamond, now calling herself Rose Quartz after the protectors of her court she so wanted to be rather than a living goddess, met a human musician named Greg Universe who inspired her to start up a musical band with her closest Gem friends, and she fell in love with him, eventually having a child with him and surviving the process by gestating a new Gem within herself, though at the cost of effectively maiming her own Gem. Thanks to the power of the Gestat, her Gem has been restored, and all Gems with her have been granted the ability to gestate Gems by simply devouring mineral deposits, and the Gem population has exploded with this gift.
Even small Gems stand nearly thirty feet tall, and Rose’s true size is unknown; it is speculated that as a Diamond, she may actually be many hundreds of feet tall, or even planet sized, but she typically suppresses her power. Gems can fuse into more powerful composite forms, growing ever larger, and Rose can fuse with her Crystal Gems to become the mighty Obsidian, who along with the combiner form of the Dinobots, Volcanicus, are the heaviest hitters of the fleet. They’re also friendly rivals to boot. Apart from those, Rose has her loyal Gems (Ruby and Sapphire, who are NOT perma-fused here most of the time, Pearl, Bismuth, Jasper, Amethyst, LApis Lazuli, and Peridot), as well as a wide number of other Gems that either came with her or have gathered to her cause over the years. Additionally, Rose’s human lover Greg is quasi-immortal thanks to her efforts, and her now grown up son Steven has brought the family of his wife Connie (a statuesque, hyper curvy warrior in the likes of Rose herself) into their band, include Connie’s mother Priyanka.
Together, these four groups and their representatives - Sierra, Terezi, Grimlock, and Rose Quartz - founded a small interstellar caravan of all their respective families and friends, traveling through space in hopes of finding a new homeland for them all. They’ve made many friends over the centuries since, with more people being added to the fleet or being absorbed into it, and most of the newcomers being born into the fleet thanks to the many perpetually gravid mother-champions.
Smash Bros characters will definitely come into things eventually but I’m currently imagining them as their own entirely separate fleet but they’re closely allied and fully integrated with one another. Of those, Palutena, Rosalina, Samus Aran, Kumatora (as an Earthbound character, anyway) and some others would be involved. As would be Urbosa and the Gerudo as a whole.
Battleborn would probably be in this somewhere but I haven’t quite worked them out as yet? Perhaps not as crew members, but definitely people they know/meet/run into, as well as setting relevant events.
Some characters from different series who have likely joined the fleet on their own or do not have a definite origin in mind yet (or I like them but don’t have much information about their series proper) include: Cattleya (Queen’s Blade), Tifa Lockhart and Lulu (Final Fantasy), Princess Bubblegum (Adventure Time), Katara, Toph Bei Fong, Mai, and Korra (Avatar The LAst Airbender and Legend of Korra), Symmetra, Pharah, Bastion, Orisa, Zenyatta, Mei Ling Zhou and many Omnics (Overwatch), Hinata Hyuga, Mei Terumi and Konan (Naruto), Tsuyu, Mina Ashido and lots of other Quirky heroes (BNHA).
There are many species represented within the fleet, descended from individual who joined up and had scores of children. While by no means comprehensive, here is a small list of a number of species to join up in notable numbers: Asari, Krogan, Geth, Quarians and Turians, from the more well-established worlds.
Orcs, Eldar and other space-faring versions of common fantasy races, and serving as a combination of various series’ takes on those beings. Orcs, for instance, are a combination of Warhammer 40k’s Orks with the more benign aspects of Warcraft’s orcs. The Eldar are mainly a mixture of the Eldar from 40k and with the general attitude of Tolkien’s elves (with bustlines proportionate to their magical powers). Sci-fi versions of Tauren, Draenei and goblins (hyper buxom cowgirls, various levels of curvy, and hyper shortstacks respectively) are also present.
Pokemon and Digimon are present in huge numbers, taking the ‘fully intelligent sapient beings’ take on them. The Digimon mainly live in cyberspace in the ship databanks, running the automated systems, and can jack into robotic bodies to interface with the physical world, otherwise being like AI friends; rarely, they can manifest directly in times of great need. Pokemon are more like beings of elemental power given form, and can willingly diminish their power in order to transform into more human-like shapes, ranging from bipedal anthro-morphs to cute monster humans. These are invariably hyper curvy, to boot, and something similar applies to the avatars the Digimon can project.
From Final Fantasy’s various races, big contenders for numerous-ness in here include, among others, the Viera and Bangaa.
Autobots of all known alt mode variations, Gems of any caste, and trolls from a wide variety of blood colors all go without saying. Of note, due to the egalitarian culture of the fleet, traditional caste attitudes typical of Gems or trolls are not present, and somewhat unthinkable to boot, and as a result have little attachment to their people’s history; to them, the fleet are their people.
And many, MANY other aliens of all shapes and sizes, but mostly ‘hourglass’ shapes at that.
One final note is the God Squad, an informal name for a number of deities that have for some reason taken an interest in the fleet’s affairs, and no one is clear why; they seem to know that Terezi and her family were once gods but not the circumstances of how they fell, and they don’t often intervene on a daily basis, but can be summoned. Apparently this involves beating some kind of strange accord they have with malicious demonic forces. The most important of them is Lucoa from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, but hewing closer to her mythological counterpart, especially in looking more like an ancient Aztec woman; she is a spokesgoddess, of sorts, for the rest of the deities. There is also Palutena, the goddess of light who may have arranged meetings between the fleet and her own chosen champions in the Smash fleet as well for her own reasons. Onyx Prime, of the Cybertronian pantheon, is also present and may have encouraged the others to assist the fleet thanks to his strange visions. There are several other gods, but their presence is currently shrouded and of great mystery to the fleet.
