right, pinned posts

the main thing i've been working on lately is Hostile Takeover, a longform murder drones fanfic about a lesbian killer robot torn between her directives and her own needs. i've been taking a break from that to write Of Commodified Contradiction, a series of shorts focused on the same pairing

my most extensive work, though, is the many writing about Black Nerve, a dark fantasy setting with giant insects wield magic that dissolves life and matter, mutant bat-blood and of course esoteric fungi. there's a couple of novels and LOT of lore posts

i have a website which is probably the best place to see all of my stuff:

but to get a taste of what you can find on that site, keep reading

most people are probably following me for my murder drones stuff.

as mentioned, i write the critically acclaimed J/Uzi fic, Hostile Takeover:

it's a beyond-novel-length enemies to lovers slowburn, and distinguishes itself by pulling it all off without heavy alteration to canon characterization.

most people are probably put off by the tagged ship, but i've received numerous comments to the effect of "i never liked this ship" or "i didn't think it could be done" followed by "but you somehow pulled it off".

give it a shot!

besides that, i've read a lot of murder drones fanfic, and maintain a page on my website dedicated to indexing and reviewing fics that i'd recommend

several of the people following me are writers, who may be interested in know that i've written several essays on the craft of writing. people tend to find them pretty insightful!

i've written many stories other than Hostile Takeover. you can find them on my site; there's too many to list, but in general, i write nonhuman character near-exclusively. (my friends were only so surprised when i became obsessed with murder drones)

still, HT is my most successful work for a reason, and i'm not certain fans of that will enjoy my earlier writing; i have reservations about recommending most of them. A Chimerical Hope is still cool, i think, though its issues are undeniable

the majority of my site is dedicated its overarching setting: Black Nerve, a dark fantasy world of giant sapient insect ninjas and corrupting fungus and gruesome mutagenic blood magic. there's so much going on there that i just cant get into all of it here. not even sure where you should begin reading

lore posts like "In Dialogue With Plagues", or "Lardsuckers and (What Were) Grubsuckers" give you a taste of just how freaky the setting is, and i think "The Duality of Mantis" is a great look at the weird psychology of the dominant species. but there's so many articles i can't list them all

writing is probably what i've done the most of, but i have other skills :3

i've released four albums of electronic music on bandcamp:

and there's more!

i'm sometimes an artist, and there's gallery on my site with over three hundred pieces i've drawn over the years. i mostly draw these weird alien dudes i invented, plus a lot of praying mantises and dragons and pokemon. quality varies a lot and i'm bad about staying in practice, but here are some pieces i think turned out rather well

ok, now is that it?

well, mostly. i have some poetry that's neat, and i recently produced a game demo that's shaping up into something interesting:

but now, that's probably everything of serious note.

if you read through all of that, i love you. thank you for your time and i hope there's something here you appreciated

First Contact

OP: In my caste, I may read and I may index, but I am forbidden to analyze.

M: How do you know where to index if you don't analyze first?

OP: I try not to ask myself questions that don't have answers I can do anything about.

M: Who has told you that you can't do anything about the answers? I never even had a name. I went out to die for the pleasure of strangers. Now I am Megatron, and I will fight when and where and for what reasons I please.

OP: Fight who?

M: Those who would tell me... like they tell you... that we do not have the right to determine our own fates. Interesting that even in Iacon my words are being heard.

OP: It is my task to hear all words.

M: But you don't answer all of what you hear. And surely you don't answer all of what you hear on channels that you hide for fear of being eavesdropped on.

OP: No.

M: A great many Cybertronians would love to have Iacon as their home. Yet you are there and still unsatisfied. What does that tell you?

OP: We should meet.

M: Should we? Why would I meet you?

OP: If you have goals beyond Kaon, you’re going to need to tailor your message so it will resonate beyond the castes who smelt ore and die in the pits.

M: Or the rest of Cybertron should learn to understand those castes. Even you do not, and you consider yourself one of us.

OP: Then show me what I do not understand.

The above is the first conversation between Orion and Megatron over the Grid. This conversation in Exodus occurred right after the oft-referenced moment where Orion gets upset about the fact that he does not have free access to Six Lasers—an amusement park reserved mostly for the highest castes. More than one fan has found this laughable and used it to point out how Orion was blinded by his privilege, and while I agree, I also think it’s important to not stop there.

In the above conversation, Megatron called Orion out and put him in his place. Orion could have responded defensively, but he did not. He asked to be shown what he did not understand. His open-mindedness impressed Megatron.

However, I will also point out that Megatron spoke of his personal ambitions more than about the collective goal of his group at the time. There’s a passage in The Covenant that I believe provides excellent evidence that Megatron saw things as him against the world from the start as opposed to him having the mindset of a benevolent revolutionary. I may or may not get around to sharing it in this series.

Motives and Methods

He understood Megatron’s reasons, and perhaps even more than the gladiator did Orion Pax wanted the freedom and initiative that would come with the end of caste and Guild.

Where they differed, Orion Pax suspected, was in method. He believed the change could be created through political means: spreading new ideas, watching them catch fire, attracting enough followers to their vision that eventually the High Council and Sentinel Prime would have to take notice. That was the vision of Orion Pax.

Sometimes he was concerned that Megatron did not have as much patience as he did.

Yes, you read that right. Orion once thought he desired the downfall of the caste system more than Megatron. It seems arrogant, but consider young Orion’s original dream from The Covenant. Without destroying the caste system, there would be no expansion outward. No opportunity for the exploration and discovery he so desired—not just for himself, but for others as well.

What did Megatron want? He wanted to fight. Alpha Trion said in The Covenant that Megatron was “of the line of Megatronus” and that “he was, at heart, born to revolt.” Megatron desired to conquer and control. To fight someone. Anyone. As long as he could fight against something. It just happened to be the caste system, and if others came along to benefit from his revolution, so be it. Meanwhile, Orion wanted there to be a collective, collaborative effort to destroy the system for the sake of moving forward and upward as a species.

So, I don’t think Orion was correct in thinking he wanted to rid Cybertron of its caste system more than Megatron. It’s just that their motivations and methods for doing so happened to be different.

A Social Strategist

“I don't need you to tell me what's easy and what isn't,” Barricade said. But he was already moving to go back inside. Perfect. “Lugnut,” he added with the door open. “Don't let this mech go anywhere.”

Mech, thought Orion Pax. He’s got to put me in my place. Gladiators wore their emotions on their sleeves, it seemed. He wondered if he should have reacted to the insult, or if a reaction would have been too provocative. Then he started thinking that he was being too deliberative, overthinking everything he did, overanalyzing everything others did.

Notice how Orion so quickly came to his conclusions with very little prompting. Typecasting can be an issue, but it’s impossible to navigate life without making some assumptions. In this case, I believe Orion’s assumptions and his gift for analyzing and reading others helped him to understand Megatron’s passionate nature and his tendency to provoke for the purpose of testing another—incredibly useful for strategizing later during the war.

Seeing Clearly

Entropy, or the consciousness of it, was my other companion. This was one reason why Orion Pax, with his dedication and tireless focus, stood out from the other clerks. He seemed to resist the robotic monotony of the data-harvesting enterprise; instead the size and scope of the task invigorated him.

Yet it was not for this that I came to realize that he was to become the next Prime.

It was a combination of observation, research, and raw... it is difficult for an archivist such as myself to say this...

Intuition.

Orion Pax seemed different. He was humble but certain, rigorous in completing his assignments yet unafraid to deliver results beyond or contradictory to the stated parameters.

And when he first began to discern that a few gladiators in the forgotten savagery of Kaon’s pits were beginning to grow into something more—Orion Pax might have been expected to do one of two things. He might have ignored the data as irrelevant, thus confirming the caste bigotry that those gladiators hated. Or he might have passed on the information without comment to his superiors, who might also have ignored them out of caste bigotry or suppressed the dissent without investigating its origins.

Orion Pax did neither of those things. He investigated, analyzed, synthesized—and when that still did not satisfy him, he went to those who were dissatisfied. He learned.

He empathized. Unencumbered by the prejudices of his age, he chose to see clearly.

Again with the intuition and empathy. Orion chose to look behind the curtain and allow his natural curiosity to take him places his peers never dared to go. He didn’t set out to lead a revolution. He didn’t waltz in and play savior. Orion merely followed his curiosity and realized he had the means to help Megatron’s movement in specific ways. He said through his actions: “Okay, I see where this is going, and I’m here. Show me what I need to know so that, perhaps, I can make this easier for all of us.” Orion never implied that they owed him for his contributions to the cause. It was his hope to make a difference and prevent a violent uprising by showing Megatron and other lower-caste bots that he, as an upper caste bot, was willing to use his higher position to work toward the common goal of societal change.

However, he was just one guy. It wasn’t enough for Megatron and the others, and Orion had to learn that the hard way. It’s not that he failed. He followed his intuition and did his best. It’s just a fact of life that, oftentimes, one person’s best isn’t good enough.

Librarian to Luminary

As he left my study, we were both stunned to see that the data clerks had come to the atrium outside, every single one of them. They stood in a double row, perfectly silent, having come just to see their former colleague and to pay their respects to what he had become.

For Optimus Prime it must have been a moment of intense and conflicting emotion. He has not spoken of it to me; since he left at that moment, he has been absorbed in the skirmishes around the perimeter of Iacon. The clerks glean every bit of data about his actions hungrily, as if it were Energon itself that they might nourish themselves with. Some of them would get up and fight if it were permitted, but as I have written, they are all either created not to fight or have been so damaged that field repairs cannot refit them for the battlefield.

If Soundwave had been present during this moment and read Optimus’ thoughts and feelings, I think Cybertronian history might have taken a much different path. Optimus did not choose to become a leader or a figurehead. Perhaps that made him weak in the eyes of those like Soundwave and Megatron, but Optimus was able to see what they could not—that the conflict was likely to end in a Pyrrhic victory.

Megatron charged forward with overconfidence in himself and expected everyone to fall in step behind him. Meanwhile, Optimus walked forward with caution and humbly accepted that many saw him as an inspiration and the keeper of Cybertron’s future.

In the end, both were necessary to wipe Cybertron’s slate clean, but Optimus desperately hoped it wouldn’t have to result in so much destruction while Megatron never really cared how he got his way.

Megatron was destined to be the revolutionary.

Optimus was meant to be a luminary.

🔍︎ — kishibe ✰ fem!reader

♯ — you and kishibe decide to go look for a furry companion.

∎ — 0.7k ✰ fluff

ⅲ — uhhhhhh, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. happy new year (eve) for some of yall.

the faint scent of whiskey, extinguished cigarettes, and kishibe’s scent lingered in your shared bed. he had disappeared unnoticed once again, and once again he had fixed you breakfast to go along with your day.

of course, his devil hunting job was overwhelming for him—and yourself because of his lack of presence—but he would always find a way to make you feel at home.

you started to feel a growth in your heart whenever kishibe is not around. a horrible growth, a growth that kept getting worse and worse the more hours he was away from you. you clenched your fork as you continued to eat your breakfast, unbeknownst to you that he had arrived early.

kishibe would usually spend his late nights drinking out with his comrades after a job well done—or just to relieve some of the stress he had recently encountered. seeing him in front of the apartment door lit up your eyes to the point where you thought you were in a mere fairy tale.

“you’re home early.” you said, as you walked closer to kishibe, inhaling his deep musky scent of alcohol and the scent of a devil’s blood. he let out a deep ‘yeah’ as he embraced your warm embrace.

in this moment, it was like neither of you wanted to let go of each other. in this moment, the moment that was rare for the both of you, you two had fully acknowledged each other’s presence.

“sorry,” kishibe started, rubbing your back with his unoccupied hand that wasn’t stuffed in his coat pocket. you peered up at him, still nudging your head further into his chest, embracing the warmth that he had to offer. “sorry?” you questioned, still looking at his tiring eyes.

“sorry for not being here . . . with you.” you pouted and averted your eyes away from him. “it’s lonely without you, y’know?” he mumbled an ‘mhm’ in response, resting his head on top of yours. “i can try to fix that loneliness.” kishibe muttered, reaching inside of his coat.

you backed away from him to see what he was trying to present to you. he pulled out an index shaped card and flipped it to show the contents. “adoption?” you questioned, thoroughly examining the card.

“there’s a little adoption center up the street,” he began. “i thought you might want a little companion while i’m gone for long periods of time.” your eyes began to fade into a pit of darkness. you didn’t want a replacement for him while kishibe’s gone. you wanted him in general. but, you know he’s just trying to help you the best way he can. so you had to accept his offer.

“okay,” you said. “just know that i love you, okay?” kishibe mumbled, “i love you too.” before kissing you on your cheek—the scar on his left cheek briefly brushing against your own.

the smell of the adoption center was very overwhelming. smells of fur and saliva overturned the cogs in your brain. kishibe chuckled at your little attempts to briefly fan the smell away as he handed you a handkerchief to cover your nose with.

as the smell died down, you two finally examined all the want-to-be-adopted animals in the shelter. it ranged from cats to dogs to iguanas to snakes to bearded dragons. you two explored the endless categories of animals until you landed on one particular species.

“i like that one.” kishibe said, pointing to the tuxedo cat that was peacefully sleeping in the cat house. “me too, but i also like that one.” you stated, pointing at the calico cat that had orange, white, and brown fur. you two stayed in the cat section until you finally picked the tuxedo cat to come home with the both of you.

you decided to drive home because kishibe was heavily intoxicated because of his secret stash of whiskey hidden beyond his coat. you smiled as the tuxedo cat nuzzled closer to kishibe and started making biscuits on his perfectly black coat. he groaned when his claws went too far into the fabric, slightly puncturing his skin, but he didn’t mind. after all, kishibe loved cats. and so did you.

“well,” kishibe groaned. “you have a little companion to keep you company now.” he slurred. “y’happy?”

you fixated your eyes on the road, “i was already happy when you came into my life, kishibe.” kishibe smiled, the scar on his cheek tugging up along with his grin. “love you so much.” he said, before drifting off to sleep. “love you too, kishibe. i always will.”

Mimikyu (ミミッキュ, Mimikkyu) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise, designed by Megumi Mizutani for the 2016 video games Pokémon Sun and Moon. It is referred to as the "disguise Pokémon" in the series due to its appearance, which resembles a ragdoll form of Pikachu, the series mascot.

According to Pokédex entries, Mimikyu is a lonely creature who wears the disguise in order to seek affection from humans within the Pokémon world. In the animated series, Mimikyu is shown to be hostile towards Pikachu, often attacking Pikachu on sight. Mimikyu's lore and personality have received positive receptions from both critics and fans of the series.

Mimikyu is a fictional species of Pokémon created for the Pokémon franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the series began in Japan in 1996 with the release of the video games Pokémon Red and Blue for the Game Boy. In these games, the player assumes the role of a Pokémon Trainer whose goal is to capture and train creatures called Pokémon. Players use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokémon index (Pokédex), a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by obtaining individuals from all Pokémon species.

Mimikyu is a small Pokémon, standing 8 inches (0.2 m) tall. The Pokémon itself hides underneath a tattered cloak with a crudely drawn face on its head. The overall disguise is shaped like a Pokémon called Pikachu and is a meta-referential element of the Pokémon franchise; its imitation of Pikachu references the latter's role as the series mascot. Mimikyu wears the costume in hopes of being loved and accepted, as its true form is said to be horrifying in nature. Mimikyu has two "types", elemental attributes that dictate in battle strengths and weaknesses: Ghost and Fairy. Mimikyu was designed by Megumi Mizutani. In the anime, Mimikyu is voiced by Billy Bob Thompson in English.

Pokémon video games

Mimikyu first appears in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It changes its appearance when hit by an attack. It has a special in-combat ability known as "Disguise", which allows it to avoid damage from an enemy attack once during a battle. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Mimikyu can use an exclusive Z-Move—a special, one-time use powerful attack—known as "Let's Snuggle Forever", that requires Mimikyu to know the attack "Play Rough" and hold an item called Mimikium Z. It appears as a Totem Pokémon—a special boss opponent in game—in both Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Mimikyu later reappears in Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Mimikyu also appears in Pokémon Unite, Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon Masters EX, and Pokkén Tournament DX.

The Pokémon anime

A Mimikyu appears in the anime Pokémon: Sun & Moon, encountered by Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket, a group of recurring antagonists in the series. Meowth, a Pokémon who can also speak human language, is able to understand Mimikyu and is terrified by the unheard horrifying things it says. When the two of them begin to battle, Meowth lifts Mimikyu's disguise, and is nearly killed by the sight of its true appearance. It later allies with Team Rocket when it sees them fighting Ash Ketchum's Pikachu, expressing its hate for Pikachu as the reason it emulates the Pokémon's appearance.

Other appearances

Mimikyu appears in a music video rapping about itself that was uploaded by The Pokémon Company to their YouTube channel. Mimikyu also starred alongside another Pokémon, Scraggy, in a Looney Tunes-styled animation short uploaded to the Japanese Pokémon Kids TV YouTube channel. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it can be summoned with the Poké Ball item. It will assist the player character who released it and will attempt to grab and attack enemy player characters when summoned. Mimikyu also appears as a Spirit—a collectable item that can give buffs to a playable character—in game.

Mimikyu has been the subject of promotion for the series. Items featuring the character were sold in retail shops in Japan beginning on September 22, 2018, and merchandise such as plushies were released. In 2019, the Pokémon Company dedicated the month of October to Mimikyu. In 2020, a gold, silver, and platinum necklace of Mimikyu was created by U-treasure. A Halloween Mimikyu themed meal was also released in the Japanese Pokémon Cafe during the same year, while in 2021 an Ichiban Kuji for Mimikyu featured a tea and sweets theme. In 2022, an Ichiban Kuji for Mimikyu featured a café theme. On December 7, 2022, Peach John, a clothing retailer, released a collaboration with Pokémon that included a Mimikyu themed 3-piece lounge suite.

In the Pokémon of the Year poll held by The Pokémon Company, Mimikyu was voted the most popular Pokémon introduced in Sun and Moon; this also placed it 3rd overall in the competition. Kotaku's Patricia Hernandez called Mimikyu the "most brilliant and heartbreaking" Pokémon that Game Freak had created, feeling that instead of fighting Pikachu's popularity with newer designs the developers embraced it "to great effect" and represented the possible envy other Pokémon as intelligent creatures may have towards said popularity. She additionally noted Mimikyu's immense popularity with fans since it was revealed, a statement echoed by Catrina Dennis of Inverse. In a followup article, Hernandez attributed Mimikyu's popularity to the fandom's own reaction to the "bombardment" of Pikachu in Pokémon media and merchandise, stating, "Grappling with that reality is one of the best things the Pokémon games have ever done." Edge also praised it as a "moment of self-awareness" on the part of Game Freak regarding the franchise's success, while indicating a broader change with Sun and Moon in contrast to the previous titles, "with everything shifted a few degrees away from normal." Mimikyu was highlighted by Paste as being the "voice of a generation," highlighting its immense popularity compared to other Pokémon revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon, such as Bewear and Popplio. They highlighted that its popularity came from the fact that Mimikyu "needs" players while the other Pokémon did not, stating that it seemed "expertly tuned to grip fans' hearts and never let go," due to the emotional vulnerability the Pokémon displayed.

Other sources shared similar praise for Mimikyu's design. Madeline Virtue of Dualshockers called it one of the series' best designed characters, calling it "a star of the Pokémon world since its debut" and praising how well its design worked with the gameplay aspect of Mimikyu's Disguise ability. Dennis Carden of Destructoid described it as one of the most pleasant surprises to come out of Sun and Moon, further describing it as "perhaps the most adorably creepy Pokémon to ever be conjured up by the minds at Game Freak" and its backstory "so tragically sweet [...] To put it simply, Mimikyu is a Mimikyutie." The sentiment was shared by other contributors to the site, who echoed similar praises.

Backstory:

Her name is Kazi Okami.

She was Kyojuro’s lost daughter (Taken from him when she was a baby so she doesn’t remember him and lost a toe in the process (This is as per fan demand. If you’re not comfortable with that, I say she was orphaned)) only to be rescued by a wolf (who isn’t actually a wolf, she is a Lycan named Juneao, who infects Kazi with Lycanthropy). Juneao, Who Kazi only knows as “Ghost”, was a Slayer at one point but unfortunately she worked with Shinjuro on her decline so she retired a very disgruntled woman. She raised Kazi as a Rogue, who steals from both the Demons and the Demon Slayers. She does not harm humans but uses Juneao’s old blade to kill demons, since Juneao was later killed by a demon and Kazi seeks revenge for her Adoptive Mother. She lives in a log cabin in the woods alone, living off whatever she can hunt or forage.

Fast Facts:

She has pretty good control over her Lycanthropy, except on full moons. Only then does she chain herself up so she doesn’t harm anyone.

She didn’t believe that she was Rengoku’s Daughter until he pointed out a tuft of hair similar to his on the back of her head, beneath her Rust Red Mane.

She is self sufficient so he harvests her own meals, Hunts, and fishes.

Kazi is missing her Index Toe on her left foot.

Lycanthropy Infection occurred accidentally during Kazi’s rescue by Juneao

She has a red haired bob that ends in silver tips and her face is covered in freckles

Kazi is a great guitar player and singer… Being musically talented is a trait amongst lycans

The Miracle Mind of Serene: the Tale of a Girl and a Ghost (Chapter 2)

Previous Chapter

Index

---

18/01/2018

Serene swung back in her chair as she turned to face her phone, her telekinesis typing away at the computer without her even looking. “So! First of all, Mortis, I’m going to need you to gather up all of the information you can think of about Richard.”

“Well,” the phone blared out in that deep, distorted voice that it had whenever Mortis was talking through it. “He’s a bitch.”

Serene shook her head. “No, no, I mean anything that can help identify him. Stuff like surname, species, address, age at the time you, er… died.”

“Well…” Mortis paused for a moment, the only sound being that of Serene’s keyboard going clickety clackety on its own. “He was around 20, 30 years old, and… well I don’t know what his address was, but the people he brought into the United Federation arrived by boat on the South-East coast, and he’s a rat - that’s both literal and an insult.”

“Mortis, you can’t just call someone a rat like that.”

“... He’s a bitch. Is that there.”

“That’s… I suppose…” Serene turned back to the screen as the keyboard finished typing, her initial search starting. “Say, when did you die again?”

“1967.”

Serene stopped entirely, slowly turning in her seat to look at the phone. “... The 60s? Do-... Do you know how old he’d be then?”

“Yeah, yeah, he’d be like 50 or something.”

“No, he’s going to be 70 at the very least, maybe even 80.”

“... Fuck me.”

“He’ll be an old man who’s lived through most of his life by now,” Serene explained. “You sure you still want to find him? And not, I don’t know, find something else to do?”

“No. Finding him and drinking milk are the only two things I want now.”

“But-” Serene blinked in surprise at that last statement. “Wait, milk? I-”

“Milk is fucking delicious.”

She shrugged. “Alright, fair enough… But, well, what are you really going to do once you’ve found him and you’ve given him a piece of your mind?”

Mortis was quiet for a moment, before speaking up. “I assume I’d just fade away on the spot, like this is that unfinished business kind of deal.”

“You assume?” Serene asked aloud, staring at Mortis for longer. “Don’t you know what being a ghost even means? Maybe from other ghosts or-”

“Nah,” Mortis interrupted her outright. “I’m the only one I’ve ever known of, so I have to guess at what’s going on.’

That was when the doorbell suddenly rang, Serene flicking her head over to the approximate entrance.

“Eugh,” Serene grunted out as she rolled her eyes. “Just a moment, Mortis.”

“Why? What is it?”

“Oh, probably just a fan wanting to meet me,” she explained. “I always get some from time to time. Hard not to be famous when you’re the only psychic in the world.”

Mortis let out a huff, dropping out of the phone and following along behind Serene.

Serene immediately put on a smile moments before opening up the front door.

What she wasn’t expecting to see was a male buffalo in a suit, his I.D. labelling him as a government agent. “Serene Cirillo, you’re under arrest.”

Serene paused, her eyes slowly going wide as her smile faded very quickly. “Wh… Under what charges?” she mumbled out. Already her body was getting tense, hand clenching the door handle tightly.

“You violated your official agreement and went off surveillance”. The officer moved aside to escort Serene out.

Serene cleared her throat, holding out her hand. “Let me get my lawyer, because there’s clearly been a mistake-”

“At 9:01 PM last night you went off surveillance without approval.”

Serene glared at him, her eyes starting to have a faint white glow. “... I got approval. You can check the voice logs at 6:13 PM yesterday, the 17th.” She didn’t question how she knew the exact time down to the minute, right at this moment she knew something was wrong. Afterall, how could they forget? They never forgot.

The officer didn’t react beyond speaking further. “It likely is a misunderstanding, then, but until it’s cleared up you’re coming with us.” He then moved aside to give Serene the chance to walk out peacefully.

Serene hesitated, before seeing Mortis pass by and possess the agent right in front of her. “Mortis, no!” She held him in place, Mortis unable to even check the agent for any weapons. “Get out of him, now!”

“You know it’s bullshit,” Mortis hissed out in the officer’s voice. “There’s no way that they just-”

“Just stop,” Serene cut him off without pausing. “This is just going to make things worse. I’ll just get this misunderstanding sorted out, it won’t be long at all. Please.”

There was a long pause. Before finally Serene could see Mortis leave.

Serene then let the agent go, watching him drop to his knees as he hacked and coughed.

“I am following you now,” she explained immediately. “I am exercising my right to remain silent.”

The officer glared at her, but said nothing else as he let her lock the front door before cuffing her and bringing her along.

---

“Name?”

“Serene Cirillo.” God, even in interrogations Serene was still being asked the same routine.

“Age?”

“21.” Not a single thing had changed, despite the fact that it was a police officer instead of a neuroscientist.

“Occupation?”

“Can we just skip to the actual interrogations please?” Serene complained, getting to her feet. “It’s me, the psychic girl, and I can prove I’m the psychic girl real quick by using my psychic powers.”

With that she lifted herself off the ground, hovering for a few seconds before she landed back down. “Is that good? Do you believe that I’m the psychic girl now?”

The officer looked to Serene with a raised brow, but sat down in his chair all the same. “My apologies, miss Cirillo, I didn’t mean to upset you.”

Serene dropped back down onto the chair, putting her hand on her forehead. “Thank you, it’s just… It’s been stressful. Today and yesterday.”

The officer nodded. “I understand why it’s so stressful, but hopefully we can resolve this swiftly. It says here that you’re under supervision due to your unique psychic powers.”

Serene didn’t say a word, instead nodding.

“And it says here you’re under arrest for endangering others via illegally interrupting that supervision-”

“6:03 PM yesterday, I rang up to organise my given week of no surveillance,” Serene repeated. “It’s in the logs.”

“I’m sorry, miss Cirillo,” the officer said with what seemed to be a genuine look of disappointment. “But the logs have already been provided, and there was no call from you yesterday.”

Serene’s eyes began glowing white again, silent as she processed this information. “... It must have been tampered with, then. I can provide evidence, too.”

The officer raised his brow again, looking back to Serene. “And what evidence is that?”

“Oh, it’s-” she paused, cogs turning in her head. They couldn’t have forgotten. And… And Mortis had to turn the surveillance off on her end… Why is she only realising now? They’re doing this on purpose. “... Actually, can I speak with Mortis first, please? He’s the ghost that’s been following around.”

The officer was very clearly trying to hold back a laugh, every fibre in his being telling him that laughter was a very poor action to take. Despite all of that, he still failed, a quick chuckle escaping his lips. “R-right,” he said, trying to regain composure - but it was already too late.

Serene blinked, looking over to the ball of fire that only she could see. “Mortis, can you hear me?”

Mortis obliged and flew into the officer, his posture abruptly changing. “Yeah, yeah, the sooner you’re done with this the sooner we can get back to business.”

Serene gave a nod. “Right. Before you even answer me, just ASAP, can you fly back home and into my phone, please? Guard it, just in case-”

She saw Mortis leave the officer’s body as he flew directly up.

At that same moment, the officer was hacking and coughing intensely, almost falling off of his seat. He slowly sat back up, eyes wide in realisation that he was just possessed for nothing more than a brief conversation. “You- the ghost- I-”

Serene nodded. “I haven’t been lying at any point in this interrogation, I promise.”

The officer let out a heavy sigh, getting to his feet. “Well for your sake, I hope you’re right. Don’t worry about Mortis, we’ll make sure the phone stays locked up in evidence until it’s time for the court case.”

With that, the officer turned and left the interrogation room, leaving Serene sitting there alone.

He turned to an officer that was waiting just outside, whispering into his ear. “There’s evidence in her phone, wipe it immediately. Don’t bring any weapons, and stick to a group of three or larger at all times. We don’t know what this ghost is willing to do, but he is real.”

---

Mortis had made his way back to Serene’s home (knowing full well in the back of his head that Serene’s bleeding heart was going to make him make it up for the unfortunate driver he used to get here).

The door was still locked, but that was no trouble, as he just phased through the door to get to the other side.

Guarding the phone… was going to be boring. As Mortis prepared himself for the dull task, he noticed something.

Serene’s computer was still on. And it was on a webpage. He slowly moved into the computer monitor right away, looking to see what he could.

…

He couldn’t scroll.

After a few awkward moments of moving between the monitor and the mouse, he managed to see what was on this webpage. Information on Richard. It looked like he founded a restaurant called the Delicious Den.

He could just go there, and linger until he found the little rat and-

Oh, he loved it so much.

… But they knew he’d be searching for Richard now, surely. Now it’s only a matter of Richard changing restaurants and he’d be back at square one. He couldn’t have that.

At least now he was getting help from that naive little girl, at least now he had a back-up if things went back to square one. So when he left the monitor, he made his way into the phone. He then lifted the phone up all the way to the roof. Might as well make it impossible to spot while he waited.

…

He might be able to make the machine do whatever he wanted, but that didn’t mean he knew how to navigate the web. Maybe now was the time to practice, while he’s stuck inside.

He tried to use this fancy schmancy search bar to find something to watch.

a… c… t… i… o… n… space… m… o… v… i… e… s…

…

Enter?

Ahah, that worked!

… What is all of this rubbish? Why does it look so fake? And why’s this one called volume 2? Guess they just can’t make movies anymore…

---

25/01/2018

Serene was confident that she’d come out of this court case with a success. Her lawyer was unusually incompetent, and the prosecutor was a clear expert, expertly weaving his words into compelling nothings. By all accounts, anyone would think this was a complete disaster.

But thanks to Mortis, she knew that her phone was safe.

And right she was, as when it came time to present that phone to court, the evidence that she had made the call was right in there, time and everything. Even despite the prosecutor trying to argue that the audio was faked, there was nothing he could say to throw it away as evidence.

So she was rather pleased with herself as she walked out of court as they pronounced her innocent, even managing to successfully argue for a full month of no surveillance. It was while she was walking out that a grizzly bear stepped out, wearing a government suit. It was the person in charge of her experimentation, General Thomas.

“Congratulations on the court case,” he spoke warmly, extending a hand. “I hope there’s no hard feelings, miss Cirillo.”

Oh, there were plenty of hard feelings. But Serene didn’t share any of them as she shook his hand. His grip was unusually fierce, her hand even hurting a little from it. “It’s okay, General. But I will be making sure the surveillance is actually off from now on. Hope you understand.”

He looked her right in the eyes with his good eye as he ended the handshake. Behind the smile Serene could see something focused, calculating.

“Of course, you can never be too careful. I’ll likewise be making sure that this embarrassment doesn’t happen again.”

Serene nodded, stepping to the side. “Well then, I’ll be seeing you for your next scheduled experiment in a month. Might even ask for two hours in exchange. Bye bye~” As she continued walking, she briefly twirled around in order to wave at him, smiling wide. Now it was a simple case of making her way to the bus stop.

An ear piercing, high pitched screech rang out from her phone, immediately followed by an annoyed huff from Mortis’s hellish voice.

“Wait for me, why don’t you?”

Serene let out a small giggle, turning the voice speaker off before putting the phone to her ear, as if she was making a phone call rather than talking with her ghost friend. “I did, I was talking with the man who was probably behind all of that. The big grizzly bear.”

“Oh him? He was angry as fuck, definitely trying not to swear in public.”

Serene let out a sigh, slowly shaking his head. “I really can’t believe they’d do this. I spent my whole life trusting them, and… eugh. I’m so glad I can trust you to help me out when I need it, I don’t know what I would’ve done with somebody.”

There was a small silence before Mortis answered. “Of course you can trust me.”

Serene smiled wide. She knew she could trust him, she had made the right call. It was then that the bus arrived. “Just a sec,” she said before lowering the phone.

Once she was on and seated, she brought the phone back to her ear. “And back.”

“Thank god, I was dying of boredom.”

Serene rolled her eyes. “Now that that’s dealt with, we’re going to continue looking into your reunion, aren’t we?”

“Sure am, while nobody was at your house I quickly checked what you left open on your computer. Richard was apparently the founder of some Delicious Den place.”

“Right, but…” Serene briefly pauses to look around, noting that around half of the bus has noticed her, some giving occasional looks, some trying to avoid eye contact entirely, and the few kids that are on the bus staring at her in awe. “... I can’t go as Serene. And besides, I’ve just gotten a big success, I really want to spend the night celebrating.”

She heard the long, drawn out groan from Mortis. “Fine, fine. But we’re going there tomorrow, no matter what.”

---

General Thomas was slumped in his office chair, his grip on his mug unusually tight. He was glaring at the files, just knowing what the week’s papers were going to say.

Psychic Girl Found Innocent Thanks to Supernatural Intervention!

All of his plans with experimentation on this psychic girl, ruined because of this stupid little ghost! This was going to set him back years if he can’t find a way to control the situation! Where did he even come from?!

No, no, he couldn’t let failure distract him, no matter how much it humiliated him. He had to figure out why Serene had searched up information about this ‘Richard’ individual, and why this ghost is helping her. Hopefully his employees have already-

“Sir.” He didn’t move, but his eyes glancing up to the agent that entered his office told that he was paying attention. “We’re in touch with Mr. Richard, and he’s asking for our protection in exchange for his information.”

At this, Thomas looked up to the agent, a brow raising. “Protection? From what?”

“From Mortis, sir. Claims that they knew each other.”

General Thomas paused, his frown slowly fading away. This could be the key to solving this little setback. “Very well. Let’s hear him out.”

Photo

Some drafts of a peraxil based fan-character for Serina. The silhouette is newer and better looking, so it goes first. I’ve included a human to illustrate Timber’s height, and made them hold hands as if he’s touring Earth’s cities and asking lots of questions. The sketch is from a spontaneous stream I did during December from memory, hence why his body was rounder and his face finchier than the species of his inspiration. Since I don’t use a mic, notes were sketched on canvas or typed into chat. Details were kept on the vague side as I didn’t want to raise hopes and let people down in case this ended up in the trash bin. It also plays a little bit with the canon like taffy candy.

So... to reiterate Timber’s origins, he popped into my head while I was reading the project via text-to-speech as a narrator character with a penchant for weather forecasts. He speaks with a playful cadence and doesn’t always pronounce words the way we do. Think if Microsoft Mark had a little more emotional/tonal range and that’s roughly the pitch and texture for him.

Timber is an outdoorsy dude largely by obligation, since he has nowhere else to be if not hunkered inside temporary shelter, built or found. Through a combination of his sapience, its ensuing isolation, and sheer boredom, Timber occupied himself with skill-building activities that would eventually aid him on his journeys. He seldom stays in one place, driven by his stomach and a need to satisfy his curiosity of the world around him. It began with uncovering a bug he’d never seen before, which was an unexpected and positive outcome of his father driving him away from the family. It was then he really took in the sight of his surroundings, the trees thinned out to open skies, and he didn’t know why. He has seen biomes that his species hasn’t, with a preference for temperatures slightly warmer than his native habitat. On occasion, some of his rounds bring him back home and he can be seen swinging through the branches.

It doesn’t mean he feels entirely at home with other whitecloaks, and not for a lack of trying. Encounters were sometimes unfriendly to him, even met with violence, which ultimately drove him away.

Timber’s favourite foods are insects and other metamorph species larvae. With some exceptions he’ll eat just about any arthropod, exoskeleton and all. He’d probably do handstands and sing the alphabet backwards to get some lobster from you.

Meeting other sophonts would make him squeak and gesticulate happily, if it’s safe to do so. While his intentions are good, he can come across as insensitive in his questions concerning social norms, traditions, and physical traits.

Humans would make his head spin. Our jaws, forward-set eyes, and ear structure are especially uncanny and interesting to him. He will look you up and down with one eye.

He’ll bring snails and or hug a friend to comfort them. If neither is an option, he’ll apologize and scramble to try something else.

Timber’s OCEAN index scores are highly open, mid to highly conscientious, highly extraverted, highly agreeable, and mid neurotic. If we’re going by human standards, that is.

Last Edited: August 2024 -I didn’t like the implications of his relations within the species and felt it was too heavy and prone to mishandling for what’s largely an overwritten joke character.

Borderlands | ain’t nothing in this world for free | 9.5k | T | Rhys/Zer0

Zer0 wasn’t entirely sure why they had given Rhys their number but, regardless, it was too late to take it back. “It is for business,” Zer0 said quickly, hoping their embarrassment was hidden well enough behind the blank slate of their helmet “Professional inquiries, you understand, Rhys.” Rhys and Zer0 go on a series of totally-not-dates, packed with murder, road-trips, shiny guns, karaoke, and Ikea furniture. Or: the five times Rhys called Zer0 to spend time together under the pretence of a job, and the one time Zer0 finally became fed up enough to call Rhys out on it.

Borderlands | In One Ear | 4.5k | T | Rhys/Zer0

“So, you mean to tell me,” [Maya] said quietly, feeling a headache coming on “That a close friend of yours has been in a relationship for practically a year now, and none of you noticed?” As Zer0 and Rhys come up on their one-year anniversary, Maya attempts to organize a surprise party amongst their friends and fellow Vault Hunters. Unbeknownst to her and the happy couple, however, no one else seems to have actually figured out that Rhys and Zer0 are together. Or: the five times people seemed to come to the completely wrong conclusion about the nature of Zer0 and Rhys’ relationship.

Borderlands | Rest For The Wicked | 3.7k | T | Athena/Janey, Rhys/Zer0

If asked, Athena and Zer0 would hesitate to call what they had a friendship. For one thing, absolutely nobody would ever ask. Athena and Zer0 had been acquainted long before anybody had started seriously calling themselves Vault Hunters, and as far as the other Vault Hunters were aware, not a word had ever passed between the two of them. This was nearly true.

But, sometimes, despite the vastness of the universe, the two assassins crossed paths. When they did, all it took was a silent nod of mutual understanding for them to find themselves sharing a booth and a bottle of suspiciously paint-thinner-like booze in amicable silence, comforted slightly by the presence of someone who just got it without needing to ever say a word.

This did not last.

Zer0 and Athena meet up several times over the course of the Borderlands series and slowly learn the value of giving a shit

Borderlands | Say the Word (and I will turn around and run to you) | 3.2k | T | Rhys/Zer0

It was hard to imagine the difficult times when there were times like this. But, of course, Zer0 eventually left again, as they always did. Rhys tries (and mostly fails) to cope with the realities of dating a Vault Hunter.

Borderlands | What Makes Us Human | 1.8k | G | FL4K & Zer0 (Gen)

“Your allies call you ‘he’ and ‘him’,” FL4K stated matter-of-factly, “Yet your species has no concept of gender. […] So why bother?“ Zer0 sheathed their sword. “I do not bother. I let them make assumptions,” Zer0’s helmet flashed with a [¯\_(ツ)_/¯]. “And they assumed wrong.” FL4K and Zer0 discuss their different relationships to gender, and other dumb human inventions.

Borderlands | A Proper Reception | 1.7k | T | Hammerlock/Jakobs

Having returned to the lodge, covered in blood and officially married, Wainwright and Sir Hammerlock are surprised to find that their wedding guests arrived while they were away

Chainsaw Man | Testament | 2.9k | T | Aki & Denji & Power

The Public Safety Bureau insists that all employees regularly revise and update their last will and testament, to prevent delays in releasing their belongings to loved ones in the likely event of their death. Aki doesn't understand the need at first, being short on both belongings and loved ones. This eventually changes.

A story following Aki's time with the Public Safety Bureau, told through updates to his will. Podfic available from sisi-rambles

Chainsaw Man | snarl and rattle | 3.6k | T | Aki & Denji

“Why did you eat it if you knew it would make you sick?” A stupid question to ask, Aki realized. “You made it for dinner, ‘course I was gonna eat it.” ... Denji still eats like he's starving. Aki adapts.

Danganronpa | Treading Water | 3k | T | Mondo/Taka

When Junko Enoshima was first setting out the rules for her ultimate killing game, the part that caused her the most trouble was, surprisingly, figuring out how long it should take to execute her failed killers. Of course, her first instinct was to have them executed immediately. Would that not cause the most agonizing despair? Or, on the other hand, would that just be ripping off the band-aid? Would it not be better, then, to peel it off slowly, reveling in the pain of individual hairs being plucked from still-tender skin? It was a promising thought. For better or for worse, Mondo Owada and Kiyotaka Ishimaru are given the time to say goodbye.

Danganronpa | Promise Me A Place | 6.6k | T | Mondo/Taka

“I don’t think these are regular dreams,” Kyoko said in her usual even tone. “That’s what I was saying,” Yasuhiro added “They’re visions.” Kyoko quirked a brow, gloved hand resting on her chin. “Well, either all of us are psychic and the dead can come back to life, or…” she paused deliberately, raising her eyes to meet the gaze of everyone at the table “… these are our school memories.” Kiyotaka Ishimaru had survived the killing game and was now, along with his remaining classmates, under the protection of the Future Foundation. However, in addition to his usual nightmares, Kiyotaka has started having dreams about his dead friends that he cannot explain…

Danganronpa | a cold night close to the end | 1.8k | Mondo/Taka

On the night before the second class trial, with his hands only freshly washed of blood, Mondo finds himself unable to go back to his room alone. He spends the night with Taka instead, and secrets are revealed.

Doctor Who | I Can’t Hold You Tomorrow (but I hold you in my hearts) | 4.9k | T | Doctor/Rose, Doctor/River, Doctor/Yaz

He said a lot of things that night. You’re getting married in the morning. I’m nine hundred and seven years old. I don’t get older, this can’t ever work. You’re human. All of them true, but not quite right.

“Oh, you are sweet, Doctor,” Amy had said, and the heat in her voice still made his stomach clench with anxiety at the thought of it “But I really wasn’t suggesting anything quite so long-term.”

I don’t think I have ever felt the way you’re feeling right now he should’ve said instead.

…

An exploration of the Doctor’s asexuality told in snapshots, across their different adventures, relationships, and regenerations.

Good Omens | but still there was no rest for me | 2.5k | T | Aziraphale/Crowley

Of course, Crowley had almost never purposely caused the atrocities he’d received commendations for over the millennia. It just wasn’t his style. Aziraphale would say he was too good, yet every time – when blood began to spill and smoke choked the air - Crowley could still feel the angel’s questioning gaze on the back of his neck. The familiar words would come, unprompted. It wasn’t me, angel. There isn’t a thing I can do to them that they don’t do themselves already, but with a nastier imagination. That didn’t mean he wasn’t responsible. As the Great War wages on, Crowley begins to worry that his demonic presence may be having unintended effects on human history. To ease his guilt, and perhaps even end the war, Crowley travels across the Atlantic to the port of Halifax, only to find himself once again immersed in the worst of human suffering.

MCU (Avengers) | we need to fetch back the time they have stolen from us | 6.4k | T | Thor & Loki (Gen)

“How can we trust you?” the Captain demanded, stepping in front of Bruce and advancing uncomfortably close. “After everything you did in New York?” His cold eyes were a stark reminder to Loki that this was not the same man he had fought against what seemed like a lifetime ago. “I don’t think you have much of a choice.” AU where Loki lives to die another day. Snapshots from Thor and Loki’s experience of Infinity War.

MCU (Avengers) | can’t bring back what’s taken from me | 1.7k | T | Thor & Loki (Gen)

In the aftermath of Infinity War, Thor watches from the plains of Wakanda as, one by one, his friends come back to life, and he accepts that some things just can’t be undone.

For the first time in years, Thor lets himself grieve. An Infinity War fix-it (sort of)

MCU (Loki Series) | A Passing Mood | 800 | G | Loki & Sylvie (Gen)

“I’ve seen you in the memories of TVA agents –”

“I’ve been on a streak,” Loki said defensively.

“A man streak?”

“If you like.” Loki smiled as Sylvie scoffed at him. “When you live as long as we do, a few years is just a passing mood.”

On a train at the end of the world, Loki and Sylvie talk about their different relationships to gender.

MCU (Spider-Man) | Universal Constants | 1k | T | Peter & Peter & Peter (Gen)

In which Peter Parker has had the chance to move on after Gwen’s death, and has something to share with his counterparts from other universes. Or: What if Peter Three had a different answer to Peter Two asking if he had someone? Podfic available from blackglass, Shmaylor, silverandblue, VioletEmerald

Mob Psycho 100 | the only certain things in life | 10.6k | T | Reigen/Serizawa

“Yeah, I guess it’s true, we haven’t –” Reigen barely hesitated before Serizawa was finishing his sentence for him. “– Filed taxes?” Serizawa suggested, another nervous glance in Mob’s direction. Reigen would’ve rolled his eyes clear out of his skull if he weren’t so anxious himself. “Fine, yeah. Sure. We haven’t filed taxes yet. So?” Serizawa smiled a bit, clearly grateful for the indirect route. He visibly swallowed, throat bobbing as he steeled himself. “Sorry,” Serizawa said, “it just didn’t occur to me. I’ve never... filed taxes before.” Reigen wanted to scream. ... Reigen is asexual and has no interest in sex. Serizawa is inexperienced, and isn't too sure about what he wants himself yet. Instead of talking about it like adults, they decide to keep everything to themselves and just guess what the other person's expectations of their relationship might be. As you can expect, this goes swimmingly.

The Old Guard | the castles of time we built up straight (just to run out of room and build sideways) | 3.4k | T | Andy & Nile, Joe/Nicky

“It’s hard to explain to you now,” Nicky said carefully “but once you get comfortable speaking more than one language, you find that you have a different… personality when speaking each one. You reach for different languages at different times. They have their own character, you could say.” “Believe it or not,” Joe chimed in “I am even funnier in Italian.” “He is not,” Nicky refuted without missing a beat. … In her first few months as an immortal, Nile Freeman learns some new languages, and learns even more about her new family in the process. Andy especially.

The Old Guard | I couldn’t ever tell you to your face (that I’ve only been pretending to enjoy this place) | 4k | T | Booker & Nile & Joe & Nicky, Joe/Nicky

When Booker’s sentence of a hundred years’ exile was handed down, it was with the unspoken acknowledgement that he would see them again before his time was up. For no matter the severity of the crime, no matter how deep the betrayal, they all knew they could not deny one of their own the ability to grieve together when one of their number passed. The countdown to the end of Booker’s exile slowly ticked down, synchronized against the beating of Andy’s newly-mortal heart. Booker had been exiled only seventeen years when he received the call. … Booker finally reunites with his family after Andy’s death.

The Old Guard | Act of Creation | 2.3k | T | Nile & Andy & Joe & Nicky, Joe/Nicky

“We can’t get sunburns?” Nile didn’t entirely mean to, but she looked at Nicky across the table when she said it, the palest immortal of the three of them there. “Sun damage happens so gradually,” he said with a casual shrug “and we heal so quickly. We don’t have a chance to burn.” Nile nodded. That made sense. But, wait – her head stilled, expression turning into a frown. … After Andy gets her first sunburn in millennia, Nile begins to question the rules of her new immortality. There are no easy answers.

Persona 3 | loud and clear | 3.8k | T | Akihiko & MC

In which our protagonist finds a kindred spirit in Akihiko Sanada, and the Iwatodai dorm feels that much more like home. 5 + 1 shared moments of recognition.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead | No Refunds | 1.5k | T | Ros/Guil

The play is cancelled for the night. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are given a brief reprieve.

Samurai Flamenco | and I can see the great glowing coils of the universe unwinding | 2.5k | T | Masayoshi/Goto

It wasn’t a perfect life, but after everything it still seemed too good to be true. Masayoshi swore he could feel the universe still bending around him, but now it was coiling tighter, squeezing, making it harder and harder for him to catch his breath. All he could do in the face of an unknowable universe was push. The thing with prodding the universe, however, is that it is indistinguishable from being reckless. After the events of the series, Masayoshi begins to doubt his happy ending and tests his place in the universe. Luckily, Goto is there to pick up the pieces.

Samurai Flamenco | you know you’re an angel; you know we’ll get through | 1.6k | T | Mari/Moe

"I’m happy just being with you, however long you let me.” “Let you? Let you?” Mari raised her voice to an angry pitch, but she wasn’t angry at Moe. Not really. “That isn’t – that isn’t how this works.” “Isn’t it?” Moe’s voice held no malice, only innocent confusion, which only hurt more. At Masayoshi and Goto’s wedding reception, Mari finds herself confronted with worries about her own future - and Moe’s place within it.

Samurai Flamenco | In The Kind of World Where We Belong | 8.6k | T | Masayoshi/Goto

Masayoshi may not officially be the president of the world anymore, but that doesn’t mean the title hasn’t followed him since. A few years after the events of the series, Masayoshi finds himself on a promotional world tour, promoting peace and justice across each continent. The only problem? He’s been strongly encouraged to keep his relationship with Goto under wraps so as to not “distract” from his message. Not one to stir up conflict with management (at least not intentionally), Masayoshi goes along with it. However, the longer the tour goes on, the more strained Masayoshi and Goto’s relationship becomes…

Samurai Flamenco | to everything there is a season | 4.4k | T | Masayoshi/Goto

A year in Masayoshi and Goto's relationship.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine | turn off the stars and close the door | 3.8k | T | Julian/Garak

Troubled by the revelation that Deep Space Nine’s current environment leaves Garak in a state of constant discomfort, Julian petitions for a sensory-friendly period on the station for him and any other residents with sensitivities to light and sound.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine | Second Chances | 8.8k | T | Ezri/Kira, Julian/Garak

If the Prophets themselves had emerged from the Celestial Temple several years ago just to tell Kira Nerys she would one day be upset at the prospect of Dr. Julian Bashir leaving Deep Space Nine, she might’ve just had a crisis of faith. Yet, here she was on this surprisingly solemn occasion, sitting with Ezri at Quark’s, just to get as many familiar faces in one place as she could. … After Julian’s departure from Deep Space Nine, Kira tries to help Ezri with the resulting break-up, while trying not to think about what this might mean for her own feelings for her friend.

Star Trek: The Next Generation | Anachronism | 3.5k | T | Data/Geordi

After the installation of the emotion chip, Data does not anticipate how the chip will affect his perception of his existing memories, and finds that he has a lifetime of emotions to catch up on. Luckily, he always has his friends to help him get started.

Supernatural | you will still be here tomorrow (but your dreams may not) | 5.4k | T | Jack & His Family, Castiel/Dean

“I won’t be hands on. Chuck put himself in the story. That was his mistake. But I learned from you, and my mother, and Castiel that… when people have to be their best… they can be. And that’s what to believe in.” “But what about you? Is that really what you want?” Dean’s question gave the newborn God pause. The serene expression on his face folded a little in confusion, head tilting just a little to the side. He looked so much like Cas when he did that, Dean had always thought, but now the sight made something clench in his chest. “I don’t understand,” God replied, and wasn’t that just the damnedest thing? God, a child standing in the middle of the road, knowing both everything and nothing at all? Jack struggles to figure out his new role as God, determined not to turn out like Chuck. Luckily, he has his family to help him through it.

Supernatural | like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass | 3k | T | Castiel/Dean

Dean was different in Purgatory. He had always been a man that operated mostly on instinct, and it was only amplified here. There was no time for second-guessing in Purgatory, no time for petty human doubts or crises of morality. You did everything you could to survive, or you didn’t. When Dean was threatened with violence, he met it with the same. When he was tired, he slept. And when Dean needed comfort, needed someone to soothe his raw soul – he took it. Cas hadn’t been aware of all the arbitrary human rules that had existed between them until Purgatory had torn them down. Cas lets himself fall into a doomed relationship in Purgatory, believing that it will be the last time he will ever see Dean. When Cas reunites with Dean after his mysterious escape, he finds out that what was easy before has become lot more complicated.

Supernatural | Give Me a Reason to Carry On | 3.8k | T | Castiel/Dean

Dean was pressed awkwardly against a wooden support beam, his feet not quite flat on the floor. Cas was reminded of hanged men from those old cowboy movies Dean had made him watch, of bodies reaching fruitlessly for stable ground, stuck in suspended air. Dean’s eyes widened as he finally spotted Cas over Sam’s shoulder. “Cas?” Dean’s voice was rough and wet with blood, staining his teeth crimson. Sam turned at the sound, looking at Cas with the same slack-jawed expression. But there was no time for greetings, no time for explanations. Not now. … In one of his first acts as God, Jack pulls Castiel from the Empty, but Cas is reluctant to return to Earth and face the consequences of his confession. But when Dean finds himself in danger and sends out an involuntary prayer, Cas can’t help but reveal himself, forcing them both to pick up where they’d left off.

Venom | Table for Two, Dinner for One | 1.6k | T | Eddie/Venom

Eddie decides it’s about time he and Venom go out for a proper dinner at a nice restaurant (without jumping into a lobster tank, that is). However, sitting alone at his table for two, Eddie is embarrassed to realize that the wait staff think he’s been stood up.

Welcome to Night Vale | this is the only way we know time works | 1.3k | T | Cecil/Carlos

“Rough day at work?” Cecil asked knowingly, turning to glance to his side as he put the car in gear. Carlos stared at him through his fringe, giving him a defeated smile. “You can say that.” Cecil and Carlos go home after the death of yet another intern. Set after the Welcome to Night Vale novel.

I slammed the the refrigerator door shut. "I thought we agreed you'd find some other way to store your food." his jaw clenched, something he done when annoyed or pissed. "If my diet repels you so much, maybe you should just starve to death." I was killing him a thousand times over in my head. "Fucking asshole. Sleep with one eye open tonight." All he did was roll his eyes and continued flipping through the tv channels. "Vampires don't sleep, you should know this since you're so obsessed with us." He drawled.

"You're insufferable!" He made me want to tear my hair out in frustration. I stomped to my room and banged the door shut when he yelled out: "Thank you!"

I dressed into my hunting gear, taking care to make as much noise as I possibly could. If I couldn't kill him, I'd drive him to insanity. Nothing would make me happier. I swung my door open, letting it whack against the wall. He flinched with irritation, so naturally I slammed it closed as well. "Maybe if you extended some courtesy to me, I'd return the favor." He spat out.

"Fuck off. I'm gonna be late tonight." I stepped toward him, his eyes narrowing in suspicion and eyeing the crossbow in my left hand. I applied clear lipgloss and obnoxiously puckered my lips in front of the mirror that hung behind him, obstructing his view of the tv and assaulted his senses with my scent. I enjoyed taunting him with what he couldn't have, one of my many hobbies.

"What time will you be back exactly?" he pressed the pause button, his raven eyes darkening as he looked up at me. Must be because I'm out exterminating is species and painting the town red with their blood. Rather theirs than ours.

"I dunno exactly that's why I said late, duh, does this look good?" I pouted my lips, shoving my face down to his unmoving and unflinching form. He hated when I intruded into his personal space, said I lacked boundaries and manners.

There's that clenched jaw again. With the speed of light he gripped my chin between his thumb and index finger, "Do that again, Love and you'll be screaming." A breath caught in my throat and my heart slammed ferociously against my chest as his breath fanned my face. A few heartbeats later, I came to my senses and smacked his hand away. "Touch me again, and I'll rid you of your hands." He only chuckled at my threat. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you either fancied or feared me because that's a loud heart you got there."

"Fuck off" I flipped him off as I left and once again slammed the front door closed. He's laughter rang through the door.

Vampire pig.

***

It was already midnight, she still wasn't back and banging things around. I should have followed her out tonight, the apartment was too quiet, the only sounds coming from the movie. A few seconds later, a pounding on the door so urgent and loud shook through the entire apartment. "What the fuck" I pressed pause go and unlock the door, "Cora, if that's you, this would be you last night al-'' as soon as I opened the door, someone slammed against me, I reached out to cradle her in my arms.

"Help." she croaked out. "It hurts." she clutched my shirt tightly, I urgently picked up her trembling form, kicked the door closed and placed her on the table. The scent of blood hung thick in the air. "I didn't know who else to go to." she breathed out. Her voice trembling.

"You did the right thing coming home to me." I assessed her wounds, angry gashes lined her stomach, she was soaked in her own blood. "Who done this to you!?" Rage prowled underneath my skin, I'd kill whoever touched her. They'd pay dearly for this.

****

Shayde tended to my cuts, I bit down on cloth as he stitched up my wounds. His eyes darkening with every stitch. "is my blood making you uncomfortable?" I sounded weak and felt lightheaded from the loss of blood.

"It's not that." He hissed.

"What is it then?" I slurred.

"Tell me who did this, Cora?" he sounded far and feint, a ringing sound pierced through my ears. Everything felt cold, and heavy.

I slipped in and out of consciousness, the rest felt like a blur. Shayde's white shirt was stained with blood, his blue-black hair unruly, I wasn't use to seeing him looking this... distressed. "You look like shit." I haven't felt and sounded this weak. I could barely recognize myself.

"Never- " he unbuttoned his shirt, practically ripping it off.

"In all my centuries of living -" he threw his shirt and anything with blood on it, into the trash can.

"Had I been this terrified." He lit a matchstick and set fire to everything in the trash can. The flames lit up his face, his gaze vengeful and livid. "Don't move." He sauntered toward the table I laid on.

"Well, there's no where I can go right now sin-" a breeze blew through my hair before his lips pressed against mine.

You are a vampire hunter. Your roommate is a vampire. Neither of you can afford the apartment on your own so if one of you attacks the other you’ll lose the apartment. The tension between you two is increasing by the day.

///////////////////////

Pinkie Pie couldn't resist aplauding, “You really pulled it off! You guys are gonna be the hit of the show!”

The dropped beak Gryphon Ambassador exclaimed, “Your Royalty really are joining in as part of this extravaganza?”

Twilight nodded emphatically, “We sure are! We aren't going to be hypocrites and just authorize the raising of funds. We are going to be a direct part of getting your Empire the money and supplies that it needs. Besides, instead of simply throne warming, it is a chance for us to actually have some fun!”

“I do see that, Your Highnesses. I am not of your species but your dances were still amazing to watch. We, not only myself, but the whole of the Empire thank you.”

Kin cheerfully agreed, “Their thanks, if they will also accept the money, we will happily accept. They've already given us the Golden Talon and made us Knife Bearers, so courteous words will have to do. And we will be happy with them.”

The Ambassador raised his crest and spread his wings as he bowed. “You are amazingly gracious. Those courteous words will be given to the Throne of Empire. What you have raised already in hard cash is the largest donation that we have received so far. The Throne of Empire is working on plans to best use this vast sum. When the matching grants come in, I make the total to be in excess of a million golden bits, and that is not counting the gate from the performance.”

Pinkie nodded, “Something like that, I expect. In some,” she lifted both hands and flexed her fingers in air quotes, “mysterious way," word of the Royal act got out! It only took about an hour for every available hotel in all of Ponyville to be fully booked! Rooming houses with empty spaces are going fast and so are private room rentals!”

She paused to grin and added, “Those who think Ponyville's a backwater are in for a surprise! We have almost a quarter of the total population of Equestria living here. I do expect a substantial gate!”

Princess Luna looked up from her Magic Net mirror and said in an awestruck voice, “I just had to authorize twenty more cars each for the Canterlot Flier, Baltimare Flier, the Manehatten Flier, and the Trottingham Express for all runs through the day after tomorrow. We have sold that many tickets! We have a request for ten more cars on all runs from County Corbiestep too! I think that we may be having a solid part of the whole kingdom coming to see this show!”

Grinning ear to ear and bouncing, Pinkie exclaimed, “Of course they are coming! This is the biggest Pinkie Pie Party ever!”

Kin expertly corralled Pinkie and gently pressed her down until she stopped bouncing and snickered, “What are you planning to do for housing this incoming multitude?”

Pinkie shot back, “Oh, I don't know! Um, the Dawnguard temple is empty now. Perhaps we could put it to use to further our 'Evil Act of Lewdness' by running in about two or three hundred sleeping cots?”

Princess Twilight snickered thoughtfully, “You know, that is really not a bad idea at all. There is some paperwork to be done but that is why I have bureaucrats. They handle the paperwork. I will set them to it.” She put words to action by calling the Ponyville Bureau of Buildings on her Magic Net mirror.

Looking up, with a diabolical grin, she announced, “It will take several hours to get done but, counting the basement, their loft, and their priestly dorm building, as well as the main floor, dressing rooms, offices and all, the Bureau of Buildings will be clearing the structures for temporary occupancy by three hundred and twenty ponies!”

Pinkie put a hand to her snout as she giggled, “Not enough, but it will be a big help!”

Luna looked up from her Magic Net mirror and told them all, “The Ducal Council arrests have been completed and the casualty train from the Empire is on its way. It should be here in another hour. Getting the injured Gryphons to the hospital and settled in can be done in only another hour. That's when Kin and I are going to be busy for several hours more.”

Fluttershy nodded and flexed her wings. “Got it. I will go and get Bruin and Breakfang over to the station. That will help with the unloading.” She strolled out, drawing most eyes, both male and female, after her.

Pinkie shook her head sadly, “She doesn't want to dance. I already asked.”

Rarity showed up shortly afterwards, carrying Carousel Boxes. She smiled, “Let's get you lovely mares into the dressing rooms. I have what I need to do alterations if we need them.” She gently herded Equestria's Royalty off to try on their nice new stripping outfits.

The full dress rehersal of the Royal strip went even more smoothly and effectively than the first. The cunning design and colors of the stripping outfits improved and enhanced their every move.

When they finished, all the watchers were stiff of wing, had hard raised tails, or both! Pinkie snorted, “When this goes public, nopony is ever going to see Equestria's Princesses the same again!”

The Gryphon Ambassador bobbed his head, crest up in amazement. He held out his Magic Net mirror. “Her Highness, the Empress and her Strong Wings of the Throne paused their flight to watch this rehersal. They are all amazed at the efforts that Equestria is making on behalf of the Empire.”

Celestia nodded graciously as she replied, “This is what being good neighbors is all about. The Empire and its Throne have been by our side in both natural disaster and war before this. Now, it is we who can assist them. This all has sprung from the goodness of the hearts of Ponyville's dancing mares and the clubs that they work in. Now it is the whole of the Principality of Ponyville. The goodness that you planted over many years has grown and is being harvested to aid you in your need.”

Octosquids

Description:

Octosquids are hybrids between an Inkling and Octoling. Octosquids have various looks ranging from appearing as one parent species, both aspects of each species, even some odd genetic differences appearing.

Lore across the land:

-Pre War Era-

Octosquids where common and where highly valued in this time frame. While beautiful to see they also where an extreme help for both sides. Octolings and Inklings held a common belief that Octosquids are a significant part of showing unity, strength, and fated future. Unfortunately this doesn't last as The Great Turf War changes everything.

-During The War-

Propaganda during this time effected both sides, dividing them, eventually causing Octosquids to be eventually hated. This was poison into a large scar, carried on post war. All wasn't lost as Octosquids where fighting against the two sides attacking villages. They paved the creations of Splatoons.

-Post War Era-

The belief of Octosquids being good was dashed. Now they're scrutinized, judged for their looks, and might face being seen as an object or of lower value. Even with the bounce back from new generations mixed with Octolings making their way to the surface being bold in expression.

Other information:

Octosquids normally appear as an Inkling or Octoling with a couple of traits from the other parent. Eye masks, claws, and suction cup placement are most notable.

Layers 7-9:

Layer 7

-BFF and Midbus are the same species:

In an interview Alphadream confirmed that Midbus and the Brute Force Federation are the the same species. The only similarity that is present, however, is their shared pink skin tone, and most fans don't seem to think of this information as canon.

-I played henchman for a hysteric:

In the French version of Bowser's Inside Story, shortly before dying, Fawful will say the line "J'ai joué les sbires pour une hystérique", which basically translates to "I played henchman for a hysteric" in reference to Cackletta. This is the only time he ever mentions her after her death at the end of Superstar Saga.

-Luigi's subconscious:

In Mario and Luigi Dream Team, while visiting Dream's Deep, Mario gets to explore Luigis subconscious. Here the player learns through green text floating across the screen, representing Luigi's thoughts, how Luigi looks up to Mario as a role model and how he wants to be with him.

-Starlow hates Luigi:

This entry is referring to Starlow seemingly disliking Luigi for no specific reason. In the games, Starlow often acts snappy around Luigi, insulting or making fun of him. A proper explanation for her behavior is never given.

-Cackletta's Soul censorship:

In the original version of Superstar Saga, due to what I assume are technical limitations, Cackletta's Soul raises her middle finger while using her elemental attacks. In the remake, this was changed to her using her index finger instead. People have interpreted this as Cackletta flipping the player off in the original, and speculated that this was the reason as to why it was changed in the remake. However that's unlikely, as the development team probably just wasn't being held back by technical limitations anymore. The entry can also be interpreted as referring to Cackletta's slight redesign in the remake, as she now looks much more cartoony and less frightening. Most M&L fans seem to not take the change in Cackletta's animations seriously but rather see it as a lighthearted joke.

-Mario and Luigi: Partners in Crime:

In the corner of North American instructions booklets for Partners In Time, the name of the game is misspelled as "Mario and Luigi: Partners in Crime". Here you can see the Tumblr post with pictures and source!

-Shroob in Fawful Theater:

During your first visit in Fawful Theater, while searching for a seat right before Fawful's performance, you're able to spot a Shroob sitting amongst the other hypnotized minions. If you talk to them they won't answer, instead just having three dots appear above their head. This Shroob might have escaped the freezer hidden inside Bowser's Castle.

-NPC dialogue changes in Dream Team:

After Neo Bowser Castle rises above the island in Mario and Luigi Dream Team, several NPCs will change their dialogue, now talking about the floating castle rather than their vacation. This detail is easy to miss as the player has to talk to NPCs again that they've already spoken with.

-What Is The Deal?!:

"What Is The Deal?!" or often just called "Peasley rant" is referring to a piece of fanart depicting Prince Peasley. On the picture he is ranting about being shipped with Luigi and how fangirls are trying to turn him gay. The picture has become a popular meme inside of the M&L community, often being referenced and even redrawn.

-Cackletta's theme in Deep Castle:

Deep Castle is the name of the theme that plays inside the corrupted version of Peach's castle during the finale of Bowser's Inside Story. If you listen closely, you will notice Cackletta's Theme from Superstar Saga playing at the 49 seconds mark. Like with A Fateful Clash, people have used this to back up their headcanons.

Layer 8

-Peach has secret powers:

This is referring to how Peach seems to have magical powers that she rarley uses or maybe even tries to keep secret. There are certain moments in the series in which she's using magic that are never really explained, such as in the beginning of Inside Story where she and Starlow seem to weaken Bowser with their combined magic before Peach makes him fly out of her castle by using telekinesis.

-Fawful was a student at Woohoo Hooniversity:

In one of the battle backgrounds of the Superstar Saga remake, you can spot several framed pictures hanging on the wall. If you look closely, you might recognize Fawful in one of them. This has caused some people to believe that Fawful once studied at Woohoo Hooniversity, and that this is an old picture of him, taken while he was still attending the school.

-Dying Toads in PIT:

In Toadwood Forest the player will encounter Toads strapped to trees, having their life energy sucked out of them. This was done by the Shroobs as a way to power their space ships, as they need the life energy as fuel. Some of the Toads on the trees look very pale and if I recall correctly, there is one Toad who is unresponsive. This very directly hints at the fact that the Toads are dying.

-Drug reference in DT:

With this the chart is referring to a fountain found on Mount Pajamaja. It contains colorful water that upon being interacted with, will make Mario and Luigi fall asleep and dream of feeling "oddly light". In they dream they stumble upon a pile of giant mushrooms and after consuming them all, the bros turn bigger than the island itself. The game goes into detail when describing the brothers emotions, for example how they feel ecstatic after their eating frenzy. The screen then fades to black while Mario and Luigi realize that they can never go back to normal and the scene ends with the player getting a Game Over. Even though this is only a fakeout, the reference is clear.

-Chuckola Cola forbidden outside of Beanbean:

This is a headcanon/theory which you can read about in more detail here! At the airport you can find an NPC who seems very insistent at telling you not to bring Chuckola Cola on the plane. Tourists don't always handle food from Beanbean very well, so the same might apply to Chuckola Cola.

-PIT test messages:

In the code of Partners In Time you can find bizarre test messages reading "My dog has fleas" and "Your scalp is dry". Here is the full post!

-Dark Fawful resembles Cackletta:

Dark Fawful resembles Cackletta in a lot of ways when it comes to similarities in their design. Both of them wear capes with differently colored outlines, as well as a white, or in Fawful's case, grey accessory resembling a collar. Dark Fawful's cape also has pointy ends, similar to Cackletta's dress.

-Elder Shroob time portal attack:

During the final battle against Elder Princess Shroob, there is an extremely rare chance of her opening a time portal and using it as an attack. She will open the portal before shooting down several of the Shroob space shuttles present on the upper screen. The shuttles will then fall into the time portal and disappear for several turns, before coming back and flying towards Mario and Luigi, who have dodge them.

Layer 9

-Never fall asleep inside a dream:

In Dream Team it gets mentioned on how one should never fall asleep inside the Dream World, at it is very dangerous, something that the game never elaborates on further. However, if you take a look at the final battle against Antasma, which takes place inside the Dream World, you will notice that he can put you to sleep by hitting you with his attacks. What follows is Antasma infiltrating Mario's nightmare, chasing him through a dark corridor which he can only escape from by jumping into holes in the ground, most of them filled with rotating saw blades. This attack can kill you very easily.

-Every Oho Jee used to be a Beanish:

On Oho Oasis you can find creatures referred to as Oho Jees. They speak in nonsensical sentences, but are otherwise harmless. However, on the same island you can find old logbook entries left behind by Beanish explorers. The entries contain detailed information on how one of the researchers got into contact with an Oho Jee, seconds before transforming into one. It is possible that every Oho Jee on Oho Oasis used to be a long forgotten Beanish explorer.

-Younger Shroob hated her sister:

The idea that Princess Shroob hated her sister comes from the fact that throughout the entire game there's not a single hint given that the princess wanted the Cobalt Star back, despite her knowing that her sister had been trapped inside of it. Not only that but throughout the journey we only ever see Younger Shroob seemingly enjoying all of the attention that she's getting from her people. She doesn't seem focused on saving her sister at all.

-Peasley tried to kill Mario and Luigi:

Peasly wanting to kill Mario and Luigi is referring to the fact that during the finale of Superstar Saga, the prince rigged Bowser's caste with explosives, even though he knew that the brothers were still in there, taking on Cackletta. If you don't get out of the castle in time it will lead to a game over. He did tell the brothers that they needed to escape, but Peasley really doesn't seem to care about what would have happened would the brothers have fought Cackletta for just a minute longer.

-Prince Peasley used Mario and Luigi as assassins:

During the cutscene in which it's revealed that it was Birdo's voice which got stolen instead of Peach's, Prince Peasley claims that he had known of Cacklettas plans from the very beginning, and that he had warned the princess before it was too late. He knew that Cackletta could never have claimed her wish from the Beanstar. However, on top of Hoohoo Mountain, he only tells the brothers not to worry about Peach and to just head to Beanbean Castle instead. Later on he deliberately tells them that Cackletta is hiding in Woohoo Hooniversity and that they need to track her down, which results in her death. Peasley used Mario and Luigi to murder Cackletta in Woohoo Hooniversity, despite him knowing that the Beanstar could never have granted her a wish in the first place.

And that's that! Once again, I am truly sorry that I had to split this up but it was the best I could come up with!! I hope it's still enjoyable. I tried really hard explaining everything and if you (or anyone else reading) still have questions feel free to comment or DM me!

Also sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes, I can't fix the ones from the earlier reblogs sadly. Oh, and I don't speak French so sorry if my translation sounds off!

Anon, I wish you the best of luck should you ever actually make a YouTube video about this! I hope you enjoyed reading :3

hi!! ur m&l iceberg appeared on my dash, and i mmmight wanna make a premiere video abt it someday?? (if i'm able 2 get the right tools 4 the job kdkdjndg i wanna do game commentary and maybe reviews) but like!! do u mind explaining each of the points in crude detail?? i already know abt most of them as well, but just 2 be sure!! ty :D

I'm HONORED you'd consider making a video about my chart! However, I had some problems with answering this as Tumblr would frequently delete all of my progress. I assume this is because of the answer simply being to long, which is why I'll try to tackle three layers at a time. I will add more parts of the explanation with every reblog. I'm truly sorry but this is the only option.

Just as a little refresher, here's the full chart! Explanations are under the cut because this is gonna be long >:)

Alright let's get into this!

Layers 1 - 3:

Layer 1

-Seven games:

In total there's seven games in the Mario and Luigi series, five original titles (Superstar Saga, Partners In Time, Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, Paper Jam) and two remakes (Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Junior's Journey)

-Striped socks:

On the original artworks for the Mario and Luigi games, Luigi is seen wearing striped socks, something unique to this series. However, the socks haven't shown up in official artwork since Dream Team.

-Luigi running gag:

In the Mario and Luigi games there exists a common running gag that consist of Luigi being underestimated or completely forgotten by other characters. They'll often praise Mario while then either insulting or downplaying Luigi.

-Giant battles:

In Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team there exists a form of battles known as "giant battles", during which Bowser (in BIS) and Luigi (in DT) turn massive to face off against giant enemies. The player has to flip their DS/3DS horizontally and dodge/fire off attacks by tapping the touch screen. In Paper Jam, there's also a form of battles called "papercraft battles" in which the player controls a giant paper figurine, depicting one of the game's characters.

-Superstar Saga on Switch:

On February 8th 2023, Nintendo announced the port of several GBA games to Nintendo Switch Online, with Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga being one of them. Superstar Saga is currently the only title to be playable on Switch.

Layer 2

-Fawful in PIT:

In PIT there exists an optional area right underneath Peach's castle, in which you can observe a mysterious hooded figure. If you follow them with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, the person reveals himself to be Fawful, who quickly starts telling the babies about his plan for revenge. He starts getting more and more emotional during his speech, but tells the babies that there's no need to worry about him. The player can then pay Fawful with beans in exchange for rare badges. This scene foreshadowes the entirety of Bowser's Inside Story, in which Fawful takes over the Mushroom kingdom, making his plan reality.

-The blorbs:

The blorbs are an illness that plagues the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of Bowser's Inside Story. If a Toad consumes a so called "Blorb Mushroom" they will get infected with the disease, causing their bodies to grow large and round, immobilizing them. The blorbs play an important role in the plot, as the illness is an important part of Fawfuls plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. During the end of the game, Dr. Toadley manages to defeat the blorbs, using the Miracle Cure.

-Luisley:

Luisley is the name of a popular ship in the M&L community. It is based on the idea of Luigi and Prince Peasley being in a romantic relationship. The game itself seems to heavily support this idea, as Peasley is often seen paying special attention to Luigi, and Luigi blushing when meeting the prince. This Tumblr post explains it in more detail.

-Gold beanie:

In Superstar Saga and Dream Team you can encounter enemies called Beanies. They're basically just green beans with and evil grin and tiny feet, and they're pretty easy to take down. However there exists a rare golden variant of these enemies, which have a high chance of fleeing every turn. Upon beating one, the playing receives a high amount of experience points as a reward.

-Alphadream filing for bankruptcy:

On October 1st, 2019, Alphadream, primarily known for their work on the Mario and Luigi series, filed for bankruptcy. This was most likely due to high development costs and bad revenue in return. What got the studio into that position in the first place probably were the bad sales of Superstar Saga's remake and Bowser Junior's Journey failing horrendously.

-No PIT remake:

While Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story both received remakes, Partners In Time didn't get to enjoy that treatment. This was most likely due to Inside Story having better sales in comparison and Alphadream wanting to remake the most popular game in the series. However, them skipping the second installment and remaking the third game instead, still seems a bit odd.

-Shroobish:

Shroobish is the language spoken by the Shroobs in Partners In Time. It is written in a different alphabet and totally indecipherable. The game does translate some words and sentences for the player, most notably the word destroy.

-Beanish and beanies are related species:

This is a popular theory created by fans that isn't mentioned in the game itself. The theory is based on the fact that Beanish and beanies share a lot of similarities, for example wide grins and green skin tone. The theory states that Beanish used to look similar to beanies, but evolved over time into what we know them as today.

Layer 3

-Cover art style change:

Superstar Saga as well as Partners in Time both have very detailed designs for their box art, while from Bowser's Inside Story onward the design is kept much simpler, just having a white background with the characters placed on top of it. It is important to note that the American version of Superstar Saga's remake uses the modern style, while the European version is a direct callback to the original's box art.

-Paper Jam hate:

Paper Jam is easy the least popular game in the series. This is due to the game's lack of original characters and story telling, which makes it stand out negatively when compared to the rest of the series. It had big potential, being a crossover with the Paper Mario series, but barley incorporated any of its elements, ending up as a rather boring M&L title, with Paper Mario as a playable character.

-Carrot minigame:

The carrot minigame is one of the many minigames present in Bowser's Inside Story and it's remake. Due to it's precise touch screen controls it is notoriously frustrating and difficult to beat, especially for younger players, slowly making it gain kind of a meme status amongst the community.

-Cacklebean:

Much like Luisley, Cacklebean is another popular ship in the M&L community, this time pairing Cackletta with Queen Bean. The idea is often backed up with Cackletta seemingly having a lot of knowledge about Beanbean Castle and its secrets, such as the security system surrounding the Beanstar. Queen Bean and the residents of the Beanbean Kingdom also never seem to mention Cackletta in any negative light whatsoever, often just insulting Fawful instead of her.

-Yoko Shimomura:

Yoko Shimomura is a Japanese composer primarily known for her work in video games, including the Mario and Luigi series. She also composed for games such as Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Starts and Kingdom Hearts.

-Headcanons:

This is a more community focused entry. Fans of the Mario and Luigi series often have a lot of different headcanons, some just adding more depth to certain characters while others change the story in its entirety. Since everyone's headcanons are different, everyone perceives the games differently and every fan stands out in their own unique and special way. Some popular headcanons include Cackletta being Fawfuls adoptive mother, Popple and Fawful being brothers or Peasley being gay.

-SSS difficulty spike:

The original version of Superstar Saga is kind of notorious for having a really weird difficulty spike with the game being pretty easy over all but then suddenly raising the difficulty out of nowhere before having it decrease again. Some examples of this are Wiggler and Trunkle going down in just a few hits while having much harder battles before and after them, Cackletta in Woohoo Hooniversity being a pretty tough challenge for this point of the game all while having the difficulty decrease again seconds later, and of course the final boss being absurdly hard and coming out of nowhere with the game refusing to prepare you for it at all.

-Popple is suffering from memory loss:

When encountering Popple in Dream Team, he will not recognize Mario and luigi at all, despite mentioning how he had trouble with people looking extremely similar back when he was still in the Beanbean Kingdom.

-Geno in the Fungitown arcade:

In Little Fungitown, the player will encounter Geno from Super Mario RPG while playing the Star 'Stache Smash minigame, where he will moderate the game and explain the rules. Geno is absent from the remake due to him not being owned by Nintendo.
