Beauty 🌅 !.

Fandom is so nice to Jiang Cheng's inferiority complex because in reality every single thing he gets accused of is something Wei Wuxian is better at than him.

Jiang Cheng killed Wei Wuxian? Nope. Didn't even get close. Wei Wuxian's own spirits tore him apart before jc could even get there. wwx:1 jc:0

Jiang Cheng tortures people? We get two and a half rumours and a mention from jin ling that jc has 'captured' demonic cultivators before, but who is also apparently confident that just letting wwx run off will kill the issue even though those earlier rumours said ~no one who sandu shengshou captured was ever seen again~

The word jiang cheng uses when he tries to talk big game about 'beating the truth' out of Wei Wuxian's is a word that carries the context of pestering someone to do their homework. Doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart.

Wei Wuxian? Excellent at torture. A prodigy. Did you fucking see what he did to Wen Chao? Dude didn't have fingers anymore because wei wuxian made him eat them. He ripped out his hair, burned his skin off, and then stalked him for several days just to prolong the pain. He forced Wang Lingjiao to bite Wen Chao's dick off and then made her shove a stool leg down her own throat! 10/10, no notes. Absolutely horrifying.

Meanwhile Jiang Cheng's idea of torture is getting a dog to bark at Wei Wuxian for a few seconds. Weak, unoriginal, I bet fairy was literally wagging her tail the whole time. 2-0

Jiang Cheng made the entire cultivation world believe Wei Wuxian was up to no good on the burial mounds and ultimately orchestrated his downfall? lol. lmao, even

It's a big thing in certain corners of the fandom to really zoom in one one particular phrase at the end of chapter 73, where after wwx and jc have their staged duel to make the world believe they hate each other jiang cheng tells everyone wwx has defected and become "a public enemy'' or "an enemy to the cultivation world" or whatever the translation you're familiar with decided upon.

(As an aside, something I really like about this line is that the last half of it is almost exactly the same, like verbatim, as what wwx told him to say. like, the chapter is really hammering home just how much jc is speaking from a script here. wwx tells jc to say "今后魏无羡无论做出什么事，都与云梦江氏无关." and jc says "今后无论此人有何动作，一概与云梦江氏无关" the only meaningful difference is that he says 'this person' instead of wwx's name)

I've seen it said that this bit, the use of 'enemy' was said without wei wuxian's approval, that jc deviated from the script just to hurt his ex-shixiong for leaving him. And that this is what caused all the other clans to turn against wei wuxian. Regardless of if this is what jc and wwx discussed, or if jc had malicious motivations for it (considering my conclusions above, you can guess where i fall) it doesn't really matter, because the novel tells us when the clans completely freak out and become convinced wei wuxian is out to get them (though of course they've been wringing their hands about it since the literal day wwx ran off with the wen, months before jiang cheng visited) very neatly in chapter 75!

It's when they find out about Wen Ning.

And how do they find out about Wen Ning?

Because Wei Wuxian took him on nighthunts! And they kicked ass!

...Wei Wuxian, my man, why are you on nighthunts??? Why are you showing off your incredibly cool sentient fierce corpse buddy, who is way better and stronger than all the other fierce corpses, in front of the whole cultivation world??

Whatever his motivations (extra money, maybe?? they were strapped for crash) I can only draw the conclusion wwx had already given up on appearing calm or non-threatening and didn't care if the clans thought he was a threat, because they'd believe whatever they wanted anyway. Which he seems to clearly be aware of the whole time.

Regardless, we know that this is what created the myth of the Yiling patriarch. It's literally when the title first shows up!

Even if you really believe jc was secretly plotting against wwx in chapter 73, he's clearly doing a shit job of it because nothing he said made anywhere near as big an impact as this. Flopped!

The other point people use to argue Jiang Cheng caused wei wuxian's downfall is Jin Guangyao's speech in Guanyin temple about how jiang cheng could have saved wei wuxian if only he stood by him. Setting aside that jin guangyao is trying to get into jiang cheng's head here, and isn't necessarily saying what he really believes (though it very well might be! who knows with a character like jgy. assuming he's always lying is just as misleading as assuming he's always saying the truth) the fact is, if you read the speech closely, what he's talking about is not the 'public enemy' line, he's talking about the bond between them. The fact that people wanted wei wuxian out of yunmeng jiang, because the two were too powerful together.

He's talking about that one time Jiang Cheng very publically kicked wei wuxian out of the sect!

Which, unbeknownst to Jin Guangyao, was in fact Wei Wuxian's idea the whole time.

final score: 3 for you wei wuxian, you go wei wuxian! And nothing for Jiang Cheng bye.

Cast me a spell

barbarian! Bakugo x witch Afab! reader one shot

A barbarian needs a spell to cause the downfall of his enemies, he found just the witch to do it

warnings: smut

chapter two here

a/n bro I just freestyled this 😭😭 btw I made it afab cuz it’s smut and I probs can’t write gay sex rn but everything else is gender neutral trust. Also this is my first time writing smut so please don’t judge 😭

Bakugo is aged up to 20

Bakugo groaned as he walked in forest, dry leaves and twigs snapping under his boot. Bakugo had been sent by his tribe to find a witch, a witch who would rig the war they were in and beat the other tribe. Bakugo didn’t know why he had to go, there were so many barbarian men who would go! Why’d it have to be him! The elders found him the strongest clearly, that’s got to be a good sign. Maybe he’ll inherit the chief title from his father…. Bakugo shook the thoughts away as he looked around for some kind of cabin, some sort of suggestion to show there is a witch out here like the elders say, maybe they’ll see bakugo is strong and worthy if he manages to make the witch come with him back to the tribe. Bakugo whistled while looking around, suddenly a fox came up to his legs and sat by him “what..? What do you want you pest” he tried to kick the fox, but the fox dodged it and used his head to tell bakugo to come with him “I’m not going with a fox forget it.”

bakugo continued walking before the fox yelped out and four more foxes appeared, all different colours. What stood out to him was how one fox seemed to have a light purple almost lavender colour, the sun made it difficult to see however “huh..? No I don’t trust no fo- OUCH!” Bakugo yelped as all 5 foxes bit him and tried to drag him too the other way “fine! Fine! I’ll follow you..” bakugo grumbled, seemingly annoyed. The foxes let go and began to lead bakugo down a pathway, he began to see fruits and vegetables being grown on a sort of farm. Bakugo at first thought that the foxes were leading him to a farmer and this was some sort of advertisement but he was proved wrong when he saw a fairy dust like powder float above the crops and then be placed ontop, making the crops grow almost twice their size and look healthier. Then he noticed the clearly unnatural cloud of rain water the plants, it was so close to the ground that there was no way it was natural. It just hovered over the crops in a neat line. Then the natural sun seemed to do some good. Bakugo noticed that the creatures seemed to look more mythical the further he went, once black birds were now beautiful shades of blue, pink, yellow ect. Cats and bunnies around began to come up in more colourful shades too, bright blue and green eyes watching. Now the flowers had a glow, they were all gold and sparkling. Everything looked unnatural and non normal…mythical, almost fairy tail like… he began to hear the humming of a person he was preparing for a ugly hag.. but no, a beautiful person with a equally as mythical look to them! You! A fox went up the To you and you got on your knees to “hear” what it had to say, then… you looked up at bakugo

“what are you needing…?” You asked him as you raised to your feet “I.. Uhm… I need something, my tribe actually. My tribe needs something” he informed you “needs… needs what?” You began to walk towards bakugo “a bad luck spell.. something like that. We’re at war and…” “you want me to rig it..?make ‘em loose?” You interrupted him “how’d you know…?” Bakugo was shocked “I know this stuff, now.. do you want them to loose..?” You asked softly and he nodded “I think.. I think I have just the thing, come inside” you used your finger to motion him to come inside. You began to mix up a potion, full of that gold flower, the fairy dust like powder, a couple fruits, some other unknown ingredients ect… you put it in a bottle that while it looked small, could fit a whole tribes worth of water. Then you stepped towards a book shelf, looking through the spell books available to you. You made a “ah” sound and then pulled a dusty book, blowing the dust off. “Do you have anything of the uh.. other sides” you asked him “like their hair or some shit?” He asked aggressively “that could work, clothes, arrows they shot, accessories, blood. Anything that come from the other team”

Bakugo thought for a moment, “uh… I have a piece of one of their swords” he pulled a bloodied peice of metal out from one of his pockets, dried blood falling off and onto his fingers “that works!” You grabbed the piece of metal and placed it by an unlit candle, grabbing a match and lighting it. You reached over to light the candle and then sat by the candle and began to whisper something, like a prayer. “What are you doing?” He asked, you ignored him and continued your whispering “answer me” he grumbled, you looked at him then closed your eyes again. Once again continuing your whispering, after a couple of minutes you finished and slowly stood back up “doing a spell, as per you asked.” You grabbed the glass bottle full of the potion “you feed these to your armies, you’ll be strong enough and the war will be over in a day or two” you said quietly to him as you placed the bottle into his hand, and closed his hand for him. “What would it taste like?” He asked “like water, what do you think?” You leaned your weight onto one hip “I don’t know, like shit?” He rolled his eyes “don’t get an attitude with me” you got up into his face “who are you talking to like that?” He grumbled “you obviously” you chuckled then walked off. Grabbing herbs and other stuff, clearly organising stuff “what you just going to stand there?” You asked, wondering if he was going to leave anytime soon, looking over your shoulder at him. “Could you come back with me? To my tribe?” He asked with his typical rough deep voice “why would I do that?” You placed books in a wooden book shelf “we need your help” “I’ve already helped you haven’t I?” “Just do it.” He grumbled at you, grabbing your shoulder “mmmm no” you said

in pure frustration with you bakugo picked you up and threw you over his shoulder “oi! Why’d you do that!” You kicked in an attempt to get away from him “get over it princess” he chuckled as he pushed the door open with his body and then walked you in the forests back to his tribe, holding your body over his shoulder and your legs down with his arms to prevent you from kicking him “out me down put me down!” You screamed as you yanked at his hair, he didn’t notice nor did he care. “Will you be good and not walk off? You’ll follow me?” He asked as his ego got larger and larger “ughhhhhh fine!”you agreed, he leaned down and placed you down onto the ground “you owe me, I rigged a tribal war for you” you said with a obvious attitude “oh yeah? What do I owe you? A animal? Weird ingredients for your freaky potions? A quest? Sex? A man from my tribe once had to sleep with a witch for potions” he listed off his ideas “why would I sleep with you? Your egos probably bigger than your dick.” You crossed your arms in frustration “someone’s got an attitude” bakugo playfully shoved you “don’t even.”

you went back to bakugos tribe, he gave his tribe the potion you gave them, the war just like you said was over in a day. You ended up having to follow bakugo around because you didn’t know anyone else as well, you eventually had gotten used to the change, by the sixth month of living there you were considered one of them. I’ve had atleast 50 people come up to me asking if your my spouse/wife/husband” he said while you two were going for a walk “well lucky I’m not” you chuckled “maybe you should be, I’ll need a wife/spouse/husband when I become chief” you blushed deeply “w-w-what..?”you stuttered “it’s true, they don’t let people who aren’t married be chief. I’m next in line to be chief and I’m not married” he informed you “are you trying to propose to me? You’ve known me a whole of 6 months!” You said in surprise “my parents got married after 3” “is that like a cultural thing?” You asked “yeah… the other tribes get married after a later time, I guess this is what we’ve always done, we done need to love each other, just so I become chief.” He says “so this is a proposal?” Your eyebrows raised “yes I suppose it is.” Bakugo grumbled “I’ll think about it”

you laid in bed that night as you stared at the roof of your hut, thinking about what bakugo said. You slowly rolled out of bed and put some shoes and stumbled out of your wooden hut and looked towards bakugos hut, the light from his windows suggest he was still awake. You slowly walk towards his hut, the sound of grass beneath your feet. Most huts were dark, a way to say the people in them were asleep; not bakugo though. Bakugo stayed up late training. You knocked on bakugos door, you could hear him put something down then walk towards the door; he opened the door and he looked down towards you “oh.. hello” he said in surprise “I Uhm…whatcha doing?” “Working out, your supposed to be asleep” he furrowed his eyebrows “yeah I know but I can’t sleep” you said as you walked into his hut, flopping onto his bed “don’t get too comfy there” he sat down next to you “your beds comfier then mine though….” You whined and got yourself buried into his bed sheets, he sneakily wrapped an arm around you “what are you doing..?” You asked him “nothing..” he said with a smile “your really trying when it comes to this whole getting married thing..” you whispered to him, his hand reached for your hips “maybe I am…. Maybe I’m not” he sighed and rubbed your side. You rolled over to lean on his chest a bit, you used light magic to make fire flies appear, having a sort of light show appear. Bakugo watched it and smiled “have you always been able to do that..?” He asked “since I was around 8 maybe…” you replied, bakugo reached into your shirt, softly rubbing your chest. You whimpered softly, he smiled and leaned down to kiss your neck. “Do you want me to stop?” He asked softly “no…” you replied.

you slowly wiggled out of your bottoms, he watched you do it from above. He smiled softly at the sight. “Should we just get straight at it?” He asked softly as he unbuckled his belt, an obvious buldge in his pants. He grabbed you by your hips and pulled you towards him “just be a good girl him?” He grumbled and managed to pull his pants down and pulled his member out “tell me if it hurts bub” he says softly “okay.. yeah I can do that” you nodded, you felt him slowly push inside of your body. He let out a slight grunt, you bit down on your bottom lip. He eventually bottomed out which didn’t take long due to the size of his length. “C-can I uh… mmph.. m-move now..?” He whined softly “mhm..” you whines and spread your legs a little bit wider for more access to your body. He slowly pulled out almost all the way only for him to push back in, you yelped and wrapped your arms around his neck. Burying your face into his neck while he thrusted into you, stretching you out. It had been a while since either of you had done something like this so it was obvious why he was so needy. He gripped your waist softly and eventually found a pace that both of you found pleasurable. You let out a moan as he began to go a bit faster with you, the tip of him tapping against your cervix, the knot in your belly began to tighten suggesting the fact you were getting close “mmph..” he whimpered as he buried his face into your neck, you reached up to pet his hair. You moaned and whined. Eventually his thrusted became sloppy and more like he was chasing his own climax, the knot in your tummy threatened to burst and eventually… it did. The warmth of his cum going inside you was a comforting feeling

“you know maybe I will marry you…”

Being guildmaster is something he takes great pride in, although he knows he is only so good at it because he has the support of people like Rogue and Minerva

He already finds it very hard to concentrate on paperwork when there are so many cool things out there and his guild is having fun partying or relaxing in their new pool

Which is how he would end up holed up in his office desperately trying to get himself to concentrate on the task at hand.

Digging himself out of all the backed-up paperwork that hadn’t been deemed important enough to be a same day issue.

Funny that those projects and paperwork which wasn’t really needing to be dealt with for another two-three weeks suddenly were all due at once

Rogue had been tasked (by Minerva) with letting the guild members know he was not to be disturbed for anything, even the guild burning down (Rogue could handle that without Sting's help). 

The members were on their best behavior too! Trying so hard not to disturb but to also be helpful, like delivering the finished mail for him, or leaving snacks at the door with a tiny knock. (I think they forget about his sharpened senses because yes Orga he sees and smells you hiding behind that thin ass pillar at the other end of the hall) 

Sting feels even more determined with all of them being so kind and helpful to him, especially you

Your willingness to sit beside him and carefully help sort the paperwork, file it away or arrange it to be sent out in the mail was making this process so much faster. He could tell you had teamed up with Minerva to find out exactly what she as financial and aid needed from him because before she could do it you were already guiding Sting to the next document she needed him to address

Thus after three days with late nights and early mornings the end was nearly in sight

The budget for the festival was making his eyes swim as he tried to allot the right amounts where, and Minerva herself had stepped out to take care of a time sensitive task for him when your “help” suddenly became “hindering”

“I am working babe” He would whine and pout a bit trying to ignore you sitting on his desk and moving in closer to him, a tactic that normally had him jumping into your arms or pulling you into his lap with a laugh

Sting was such a good boyfriend he always put your needs first whenever he could, and that included entertainment or cuddles…yet another reason he may have fallen a bit behind because even after your needs were met he overindulged himself in spoiling you

Your pout and little cooes and pleas for just a few minutes made him whine louder looking distraught

How could you do this to him? Puppy pout when he was trying his best to be good and do everything so he could in fact indulge himself all he wanted in your magnificent presence? 

Did you wear his clothes too knowing how that made him melt even more for you? This had to be a plot, you waited until Minerva and Rogue had stepped away to pull this.

“Please?” He would whimper and beg, eyeing you desperately wanting nothing more than to tackle you for cuddles and a nap, or some kisses “I just have a bit more, I need to…just a bit longer…” 

It was his downfall, the minute his eyes glanced at your lips he knew it was over

Crashing your lips together in an exhausted but needy kiss Sting was quickly falling into your trap

Looping his arms around your waist, hugging you as he leaned up out of his seat to reach your lips for the kisses he’d been longing for. 

Sting's exhaustion would hit him all at once and despite kissing you like a man who would drown without air, his body went slack leaning against you to stay up. Sunken eyes closing as he surrendered to the bliss of your taste

Minerva would be fuming when she came back but right now he just needed to lean into you as you sat on his desk before him and steal as many kisses as he could before falling asleep

Her anger would melt though when she saw only a few small things left, and the soft way you were stroking his hair as he used your lap as a pillow

Maybe a small nap couldn’t hurt, she could also maybe use one

Sure enough, Sting did still finish his paperwork that night

Lastly, he made sure to pay you back for interrupting and distracting him like that too ;)

From that day on Sting however, would request your kisses as a reward and a “rejuvenating spell” whenever he needed to do paperwork

Though skeptical of the method Minerva and Rogue were both relieved that paperwork never truly piled up anymore they guess they could say it’s “working”

Chapter 4 would be interesting with Crewle daughter as she not childhood friends with both Jamil and Kamil but more like civil

So let's used half snow leopard fae as they are weak with magic but they used summoning spells ( yes they are different, summoning used more elements compared to magic as it requires energy as summoning monsters are in a different dimension that bleeds in to reality, think of Bayonetta how she summon her demons )

Be interesting as she is mean outside but she is sweet when you get to know them

Bonus if she lets Kamil to touch her very fluffy tail and ears at the end

Chapter 4 w/ Crewel Leopard-Fae Daughter Reader | Yandere Twisted Wonderland

“Ew go to Scarabia? Why would I risk tanning when I already am just perfect!”

“B-but don’t you think you want to see your friends?”

“Friends? They’re not my friends: they’re the plebians that have that weirdo nice guy.”

Mean on the outside? Sweet on the inside?

You must not be familiar

She’s not exactly friendly with anyone who isn’t Leona

Grim and your fairy godmother practically have to drag you over

“Hmph the carpet’s okay.”

“Don’t you think? I’ve wanted to bring you up here for the longest time!”

“Ew don’t be so honest! You’ll stink up the room with your attitude!” 

“But aren’t we outside?”

“Are you questioning me?”

“Well yes but–”

“So you Are a clueless idiot then!” 

Needless to say Kalim’s whipped 

So when he can’t exactly remember why you’re staying 

Especially after you called it a richboy’s stinky palace

But he couldn’t careless

He can’t seem to get enough of you

Jamil on the otherhand is always amused around you

Snide and snippy he just can’t cease his urge to poke at you

Which may very well lead to his downfall when Azul and the Tweels come to your aid

You have your suspicions and Azul would delight in assuring you

For free even 

Given a chance to eliminate adequate rivals was too good to pass up 

“Are you serious!? Another?! I mean I know why I did it but come on now really!?”

When the overblot happens and you get shot back with Azul and the Tweels

You’re livid and if you can muster anything of your fae heritage its the claws

Which Azul demands you retract because Floyd’s getting a little too excited

You arrive with the octotrio you help stop Jamil 

And immediately after the overblot dissipates you slap slash him

Absolutely livid and unswayed by Kalim’s attempt at a pool party

“HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU GET ME COLD! GOT ME WET! AND GETTING SAND ALL OVER COUTURE DRESS—”

“(Y/n) don’t–” “DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO–”

It’ll go on for hours 

And you will make him feel sorry 

If not for overblotting and attempting to hypnotize everyone

But for being an inconvenience to you

Leona’s the only one to stop you

Arriving from his own vacation 

And catching your clawed swipe as he waits for you to regain your composure

“Hmph! Its only because of Leona that I’m letting you off easy.”

“Breathe. The yachts set and waiting; I got worried when I hadn’t seen you in so long.”

“Its all his fault…now let’s go. I need your masseuse, at this rate all my tension will explode on some poor soul.”

Jamil is passed out and foaming at the mouth

as you walk arm in arm with Leona

You will not be letting anyone but the vetted staff on Leona’s yacht

He can ask all he’d like but you’d  sooner mar his face then let him

“She-she–”

“She really was mad! In a weird way she’s even cuter when she’s like this! Well I forgive you and hey! If you’re heartbroken it’ll make things work out between–”

“T-that was…the most I’ve gotten from them…”

“You have…scars all on your face…”

“That. Was. Magnificent.”

"If Arthur is your favorite character, then you clearly didn't play RDR1. John Marston is a much better protagonist than Arthur. How did Arthur become the favorite in the Red Dead franchise and why are people forgetting about John Marston?"

These topics have always been a subject of debate in various media groups I have been a part of since becoming an avid fan of Red Dead Redemption. And I'll put it simply, and then make it complicated. Arthur is the human condition and this is why.

Red Dead Redemption I was groundbreaking in its time, as was Red Dead Redemption II with the introduction of a brand new character no one had heard of before. The success of Red Dead Redemption I was arguably all thanks to the tragic and shocking end of John Marston at the end of the game. But why was it so shocking?

John Marston, despite being an outlaw back in his day, is the epitome of the hero's journey. John is the superhero of his storyline. John seemed untouchable. Because this story, the hero's journey, is the age old familiar fairy tail we all know. John is the hero we all know. While he is flawed, John is the titular protagonist we have all come to know and love through various sources of media. It's comforting. We know how this will end.

But then John is murdered in cold blood. The hero we have come to know is no longer. It's shocking. It made history as one of the most shocking fictional deaths of all time because not many people or creators actually have the gall to kill off their lead role, and he was mourned by many. People mourned the protagonist, their hero. The man they wanted to be.

And then there's Arthur.

Arthur was not the man people wanted to be. Because Arthur was already familiar to every single one of us. Arthur was not a stranger, despite never having met his likeness before. But the reason why Arthur Morgan has stood out to people and has become one, if not, the greatest protagonist of all time, is because Arthur is us.

Arthur is the human condition. Arthur is already flawed from the start and while there are times we laugh with him and feel for him, there are also times we are appalled by his actions. I remember the awful feeling in my gut when I first returned to camp after that interaction with Thomas Downes. It was meant to be unsettling. And it was meant to be his downfall. Arthur had already lost before we had grown to know him. He knows grief, he knows death, he knows loyalty and heartbreak. He is vastly flawed and then the sickness creeps in. We become aware that this story won't have a happy ending. That we will end up losing him and the story progresses and gives us time to process the idea that we are only here for a certain amount of time and that the human condition is to be flawed.

Arthur's story isn't a superhero story. It's everyone's story.

And that's why it resonates so much more with audiences.

That all being said, please do not take this as a jest against either Rob Wiethoff or Roger Clark. Both actors are phenomenal, wonderful, kind and talented people who have put their entire souls into bringing these characters to life. Each one will hold a special place in our hearts for very different reasons, and that's okay.

They'll always be our brothers.

I adore your redesigns and hc cos fairy tail is one of those shows where like I know the ingredients are all there but then mashima cooked half the cake for 10 mins on 3000 degrees and left the other half raw and you're just like yes but what if it was actually good...

Your rethinking of the battle of fairy tail arc made such good sense to me and that Bix redesign is 10/10!!

I was wondering if you had any redesign ideas for Cana? And just general thoughts about her in general!

I've already posted my cana redesign here and have drawn her a few times but lemme just ramble abt my girl for a while

Ok so canon cana is... fine

Weirdly enough I don't mind her being the flirty hoe character type like, slay go for it girl boss I love that for her

However my issue comes with the s class trial, because even though that was a really good arc for her, it was also the start of like, her downfall kinda?

Ok hear me out like, it's just so weird and annoying to me that in the s class trial they basically reformat her entire motivation for wanting to get stronger and improve on herself because of guildarts? We've never seen the two interact before this in a meaningful way and after the reveal cana is once again sidelined with the added joke that she has daddy issues like??

Idk she's under utilized a lot I feel by canon, especially since her friendship with lucy is so interesting high key? Like that's such a fun dynamic! The represed rich girl and the promiscuous drunk??? That's so funn!

Like ok I'd keep the idea that's she's guildarts daughter and that's what lead her to fairy tail and even keep most of the s trial shit the same but I want more of a focus on her and her personal growth??? Even a scene of cana and lucy bonding abt their daddy issues would go such a long way to make the reveal seem like less of a joke

I haven't thought much abt guildarts tbh, he's such a nothing character to me and is just so boring so he's getting a full overhaul in my rewrote if I ever get to him so it might change how I write cana but for now these r the initial thoughts✌️

[harukamitsuki]

Hi, can you elaborate on your other rewrites besides MHA? Can you also give me tips on how to write well in a series that you intend to rewrite? Also sorry for posting this question on your MHA rewrite focused tumblr.

Hello!

-

So, my other main rewrite is called 'Rewrite The Stars', and it's a rewrite for Voltron: Legendary Defenders. It's being written on Ao3, and is a complete series rewite.

Each book in the series is a season. I have only written two thus far, but every chapter is planned out, and has been for a year.

The rewrite for Fairy Tail is pretty basic, mostly serving to create more world building within Fairy Tail, and build up on characters who either didn't do anything or whose characters had a massive downfall.

The rewrite for Sword Art Online is more complicated. It takes inspiration from SAO: Progressive, and takes more from the light novels rather than the anime. (Because way too many people believe Kawahara wrote all those perverted scenes in the anime when he really didn't).

It follows Kirito, but also explores other characters and, as it would be written in 2024 and not 1980, it would have more accurate gameplay and culture.

-

As for tips on rewriting your own series...

My main tip would be to remember that rewrites are very different to normal fanfiction.

Ordinary fanfiction don't need a reason to exist. They don't need a message, or a theme, or even good writing. I started reading and writing fanfiction when I was eleven, so I'm very much of the opinion that fanfiction does not have to be written well to be good.

Fanfiction in general is just a story someone made directly based off of another work. I've seen a lot of people, particularly on TikTok, express this idea that fanfiction has to be good in order for it to be anything, and that's wrong.

My first fanfiction currently has over 100k reads on WattPad, and tens of thousands of votes. It was horrible: the characters were all 2D and OOC, the plot was haywire, nothing made sense, I turned the MC into a Gary Stu... But it doesn't change the fact that people read and enjoyed it.

This is a large reason why I continue to read fics that don't have a solif foundation, where the grammar is a mixed-bag, the characters are off, the plot is wacky, and the wordcount is under 500.

Fanfiction, no matter how bad or small it is, is fanfiction.

Rewrites are different, however.

Fanfiction can exist without any sort of meaning. You don't need a reason to write fanfiction.

Rewrites should. Rewrites need that message or theme to feel valid. Because it's not a fanfiction - it's a story.

So, my main tip would be to treat the rewrite like it's own story, not a fanfiction. This isn't a message of love to the author, it's a message to your audience.

For example, for My Rewrite Academia, one of the messages I want to say is that one of the strongest weapons you can have is kindness. A theme I want to portray is that of the Old vs New Generation.

Do you have a message and/or theme for the rewrite? If not, then that should be on your to-do list before you formulate any sort of plan.

Another tip I have is to have, at the very least, a loose plan before you start. This will help with setting up foreshadowing early on, and getting a good idea of how to pace yourself.

As it's a rewrite, changing characters is completely fine. If you'd like a character to be more confident, more anxious, more creative, more dumb, that's fine. It would be awkward in an ordinary fanfiction, but the rewrite is your canon. Characters can act differently if it fits with your characterisation of it.

Finally: it's perfectly fine to change things or add them as your write it. Many successful authors do this a lot.

The biggest example I can think of is Oda, the mangaka of One Piece. Franky was only created after Bon Clay's voice actor, the same as Franky's, was cast, and Oda created Franky because he loved his voice.

Mashima, who wrote Fairy Tail, wasn't originally going to bring back Lisanna - she was supposed to stay dead. (Honestly, I prefer her dead because she didn't do anything after she came back, but I liked Edolas so it was fine).

If an audience member says something like, 'Oh, I wonder if this will happen!', and you think that's a great idea, you can put it in if you want to. Not only will it make that audience member excited to be right, but it's basically free ideas you know will make at least one person happy, and if it makes you happy too, all the better!

No worries about sending that ask to MRA - it wasn't too out of line, and mistakes happen all the time. Thank you for sending this to my main blog! I wish you good luck on your rewrite, and I hope my tips are able to help you!

Just My Thoughts Pt. 24

Fairy Tail Manga Reread Version

The foreshadowing!! It’s literally mind-blowing!

For context Ultear (who is disguised as the masked guy) wants to control Deloria because there will be a time where power is needed. Natsu, on the other hand, doesn’t care about that because Fairy Tail will be there and that’s all the power he needs. I love this so much because over and over again the power of their relationship stood the test of time (hahaha I know I’m funny, if you get it…) and any battle thrown at them. For example, one of the biggest battles with Acnologia was victorious because of their friendship. Lucy used the combined strength of everyone’s magic with Fairy Sphere to ensure Natsu and other dragon slayers have a chance to win. If this doesn’t show the trust in their relationship and the power of Fairy Tail, then I don’t know what does.

The foreshadowing basically sums up the whole plot in the sense that friendship is powerful. I also find it ironic that Ultear’s dialogue included “downfall” and “time” because time is her downfall. In her last moments she doesn’t advance time (like she’s mentioned in this scenario) but reverses time to save her friends and this becomes her downfall. She only gains a single minute that she thinks is worthless but she saved the lives of literally every single person in the battle. Her sacrifice meant a lot to those who know about it. She changed so much and her redemption is one of my personal favorites. I love how we get a glimpse her whenever anything time related happens because she was truly a great character and needs more time in the series! I really love how Natsu saying friend is his power and how Ultear will eventually realize this on a personal level.

On the side note, Natsu is drawn so well in this panel! I’m in love with it.

Until my next thought!!!!!!

[bluebird990]

I've been exclusively watching One Piece since June this year and today I finally took a break and decided to re-watch Fairy Tail and?? I was like, was this always this fast paced????

I had to recheck if I had accidently increased the speed. I hadn't.

One piece has changed me. Forever. I feel like I've become a Saint with my newfound patience.

But there's a downfall as well. I rewatched JJK and I was like, isn't this too fast paced?? Where's the build up to the epic moment? Why is the fight over already?? How was I ever satisfied with just 50 episodes!?!?

Now i need all my favorite anime to be 1000 episodes long.

One piece has ruined me.

Why Acnologia Fails as a Villain

This idea has been floating in my head for a long period of time. It is truly disappointing as he had the potential to be so amazing if there were just some fixes, which I’ll go over later on in this post, but lets get down to the explanation for the title you may be confused about. I see Acnologia, in comparison to other villains in Fairy Tail, as a failure of a villain. There are many types of villains in Fairy Tail, ranging from ones that are genuinely evil to those that had their sight of goodness blocked. In terms of Acnologia, he seems to be a mixture of both, a man who was once a doctor 400 years ago, turned into a Dragon Slayer who began slaying dragons with his new power. If you believe the movies are cannon, he swore to kill every last dragon in order to make up for not saving Sonia, a girl who later became a “Dragon Slayer” herself. Acnologia had the potential to rival Zeref in the field of who would be the best villain of Fairy Tail. His introduction was great, with foreshadowing given to Natsu by the introduction (for us the reader/watcher) of Gildarts. Gildarts of course had fought Acnologia and swore he was unbeatable by even his standards with bandages around his chest and his arm and leg now prosthetics. Then it is revealed who had done this as they encounter him on the island. A giant ferocious dragon who counters what the slayers believe in Dragons. He is brutal in everything he does as shown in every scene he is in, but there was one biggest downfall of his. His connection to the story. You can say that almost everything in Fairy Tail is connected to each other and if it wasn’t for one thing, many other things would not have happened. Acnologia can fit into this narrative as well, his obvious part in the story being that he is the ne that kills Igneel and the reasoning why Anna Heartfilia sends the Dragon Slayers 400 years in the future. My biggest problem with Acnoogia is he has no ties with the theme, which is why Zeref trumps him in terms of a villain. You could argue that Acnologia represents a villain with no ties to family. He has no ties to friends. He barely has a heart himself. However, this is the downfall of Acnologia. It seems that the point of Acnologia is to become a villain you dread the hero will fight up against only based off the brutality of his scenes. He has no connection to the rest of the gang except being the reasoning of missing seven years, Gildarts condition, and ending a reunion between father and son too soon. Every scene he is in is just for shock factor it seems.  Maybe if he had a tie in with Zeref other than being a dragon, or maybe if he had a closer tie with Irene, the mother of Dragon Slayers. Even if he had a better final battle, which I know caused a rift in the community.  I would like to see what you all think though. I always favored Zeref in comparison to Acnologia but maybe it is because of the beautiful story woven from Zeref’s character.

See you later in the Deep End!

[keepingsecretstokeepyoutk]

I can only speculate but I feel the main reason for all of this is what all the anons allude to, the beautiful story of someone who wants to stand beside the person she loves. Maybe she won’t publicly come out, but just start living her truth and let people see it. This will, no doubt, cause damage to her reputation. I do feel that this planned downfall may have various reasons. Again, speculating. I believe she feels like a product at times. This perfect barbie-like woman. Actually, the Barbie movie is a perfect way to describe it. She is truly just a person who wants to live her life. However, it is difficult to do when you are up on a pedestal and your every move is being watched. Not only that, people expect you to be a certain way. Be what you are in their eyes. Perfect, straight. I noticed another message along these lines over the past few days, I will share it on SR’s blog later. I take notice when they make a hooha about something seemingly insignificant because we can know it’s part if the unfolding narrative.

And now I reiterate the idea of the love story. 🎃 mentioned that behind everything there “is a human heart that beats red hot and furious,” They also describe the happenings relating to “the story of the person behind the curtain. And the person that person loves fiercely.” And then the mention of smoke and mirrors. I believe a key reason for all of this is creating the diversion to protect what is happening in the background. Sorry for the rant. I just see the riddles from 2019 and imagine how long this fight has been going on for. Can fight, will fight, you know? We can all do with some “happily ever after” story in our lives after the last few years we’ve been through!! Maybe fairy tails do exist? 🧚‍♀️🧚🏻 Sometimes we just need to kiss a few ugly frogs first!! 😅

Thanks for your take and ideas! I enjoyed reading it! ✨💕

Thanks anon for your thoughts! I totally agree that she seems tired of being a product/brand and that would be the main motive for orchestrating her own downfall.

I’ve had a feeling that would be the move after this “farewell” tour ends since we first saw the tour visuals - that’s what brought it all together for me. But I love getting other’s specific predictions/interpretations and I keep being wowed/intrigued by the specificity of some of the recent riddles.

I always stay skeptical that any of it will happen but it’s fun to theorize and watch it unfold!

The happy end?

I just thought what if nightmare never wanted to be the bad guy , and was pushed into it so far that he lost control over himself, untill he came back to be self aware, and realized everything he had done would never lead him to a happy end. Since most fairy tails end with the downfall of the bad guy. Which he seemed to be , what if one day nightmare doesn't want to play that role and breaks down?

But these are just silly thoughts !!

DONT take my words as anything canon.

Writer's Guide: Narrative & How to Write More Intense, Powerful Scenes!

There's nothing better, no more thrilling in any kind of story, than that one scene. That scene that you just can't get enough of - you come back to all the time.

Maybe it was what happened, the tea has been spilled - and boy was it hot - or perhaps it was a climactic action scene, or pivotal moment of change and decision in a character.

Well, that's some of it, but there's a little more behind the scenes (pun intended) that makes these wonderful moments tick. This information helps across all writing, too!

Save your Ammo, Soldier!

There's a few key components that help you know when and how to write this "pivotal" or "intense" scene, the ones that really get the extra garnish and love from you as the author.

These chunks are in any kind of story, be it romance or action, mega fantasy or slice of life, anywhere there's growth in a character and plot, you're going to find a powerful, riveting turning point (or points) jutting at you somewhere.

The biggest thing to consider is: how much is at stake? Obviously, we shouldn't write our most heartfelt exchanges of dialogue over the expositive morning breakfast table. But maybe that one time where the hero is ready to buckle before their most fearsome foes and their fear of failure makes fighting a far fetched fairy tail, and the sweet sister soliloquially slams some sense into the saddened savior... maybe that's important.

Just the same as a song must crescendo and decrescendo, you have to bring fortissimo when it matters and you want to sink your claws into your reader. But to be screaming at the reader while they're simply trying to learn about Susie Sue and her train wreck of a day... that can be a little more quiet, so to speak.

How do I get in?

Alright then. Save your ammo. Bring out the big guns when you need them. Since, as always, writing is all about balance! So let's talk about a different balance, the one that takes your scenes to the next level.

You, as the writer have to control and include three things:

What is happening?

How is the character reacting to it?

What is the character feeling about it?

Most writers' biggest downfall is including only one or two of these things. This is something I discovered while editing some of my own most key events - I got very good at describing the action, or the thing happening to my character, but didn't so much include what he did about it and how he felt/thought about it

As an example, this character, Sorra, is going through an intense and very painful transformation. A lot is happening here; he's transforming physically, which involves lots of tissues and bones tearing and bending in ways they're not meant to, and he's transforming mentally, some because of the pain he's in, and some because of the preceding events.

So, to isolate one moment: I described Sorra's fingers breaking and contorting at the beginning of his transformation. I told of how they locked up and he lost control of them, then how they began to bend and reshape themselves, and the sounds he heard. I told that he recoiled some, but then moved on to the next event.

This is a key moment. My readers were missing out on how painful it was for him, which is in part a feeling, but mostly a question of how he might scream out or question what's happening to him. He might jump back or grip his hand, maybe plead with God or the universe. They also missed out on what was going through his mind. There should be a sense of his total confusion and a sense of a lack of control through panicked thoughts that aren't complete.

And this is important for each and every event along the sequence that eventually forms this scene. I don't just want to see a character die, I want to see details about what their loved ones see in them in death, maybe literally, like how they watch life leave this person's eyes, then know how it made them feel, and personably. Obviously they're sad. But how? Is there a memory they get? A tradition or habit they can no longer carry out?

Through connections with what is happening in the world, in the minds of the characters, and the bridge that lies between them - being the actions they take - readers will be far more moved by whatever riveting event, good or bad, is happening.

Maybe Just use Smaller Bullets...?

So, now that you're wielding your wonderful, weaponized words and you're well aware of how wary of wounding your warriors (readers) you must be, know now that you don't always have to turn this skillset on and off entirely.

Balance it out!!

Even in the most intense of scenes, you, of course, don't have to paint every thought, every action, and every event across the sky. Much like an eclipse, the more impactful you wish to be, the closer these three satellites should crest one another, overlapping, but not blocking one or the other out completely.

When things calm down, it's still important to make sure all of your moons are visible, but let the sun come out first! That is - cycle around a little. As you're telling the duller parts of your story, invigorate your audience with a rotating array of rotund rounds, retaining retardancy in your rate, then reel them in with rapid and rambunctious rotisserie of everything orbiting the reader at once. (Okay fine, I'm done).

Make sure readers see into your character through their thoughts and reactions. This is kind of a long-throw segué into show, don't tell. Do both! When you've done some telling, do some showing. One of the three perspectives will help fill in the gaps of the other two. Sometimes it's good to just say what's happening - readers aren't brainiacs and they can't keep track of all these little tidbits that eventually tell them something. Eventually it's too much to handle. But other times, it's good to let readers realize something through thoughts and actions, rather than you blurting it out.

Your words are weapons, but not every bullet is right for every job. Bust out a differently-sized round... or maybe it's time for a trusty knife instead.

That one scene you rewind to sometimes when you just can't stop thinking about it, sometimes even skipping back just to see it another time... it was good because you got the whole picture. Seeing what your favorite (or least favorite) character did and felt, on top of the things happening to them, let you empathize with them on a deeper level, and root for (or against) them.
