nostalgia

I've talked about my complicated feelings about nostalgia before, elsewhere, but I've felt this sudden urge to talk about it again. I'm writing this opening thing on Saturday, June 8th, 2024 at 5 am after looking at what AO3 has to offer in terms of Halloweentown fanfiction. Strange, I know.

But it got me thinking, because there was a character I didn't recognize - Ethan whatever - and remembered how some time ago (within the past few years, I don't remember when exactly) I found out, I think maybe from Defunctland's Disney Channel Theme doc, that there was a fourth Halloweentown film. Apparently judging by me not remembering Ethan I don't remember the third one either.

But I remember seeing the promo poster for Return to Halloweentown and getting this pang of something I can only really describe as nostalgia.

My relationship with nostalgia is. Rough. I don't like the feeling. It makes me feel lonely. Am I the only one who still enjoys this thing? Logically, I know I'm not, I can go on the Internet and chances are still find people talking about, say, Super Smash Bros. Brawl for instance, or LittleBigPlanet Karting, or whatever. I've also been watching Keyan Carlile's videos on the Suite Life and Wizards of Waverly Place, and, well, feeling it too. With the former I mainly only remember the crummy movie though.

But I remember in that instance, seeing that poster, feeling something like that. Which doesn't make sense, because I don't remember that film. I don't think I've ever seen it.

It's just a remnant of a bygone era I was barely a part of.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, which is typical of me, so. I guess it was just something about the design of ads way back when.

[witherbythesword]

if the theory of sam reich being replaced by .. evil wizard dalton reich (and i cant believe i am partaking in this discurse) is true..

i've seen some people asking the question about what those childhood tapes mean. Well i am one of the ancient ones that owned vhs tapes and you know you could replace whats stored on those tapes with overwriting it with new material but it would slowly degrade the quality as the magnetic tape the information is stored on isn't necessarly made to be re-recorded on indefinetly which would also explain the degrading quality of the gamechanger episode.

So my theory is that dalton reich wants to erase sam from history and to do this he is slowly erasing any proof that could hint on sam and dalton being two different people. One thing he appearantly needed to do is overwrite these old vhs tapes of sams childhood.

Hello, hello! Congrats on making the 300 follower milestone!👍 Well done! For the event, can I request prompt no. 17 with Riddle, Leona and Jamil, please? Thank you and kudos!

17. Kissing under the fireworks

Thank you friend! Very on brand request for Jamil ha ha. I accidentally made Leona's part angsty I am so sorry

notes: they/them pronouns used for Yuu, Riddle is a bit awkward, references to the events at the very end of Ch. 5/beginning of Ch. 6 (Leona- hurt with heavy focus on comfort), references to the events of the Firelit Sky Event (Jamil- nothing too specific). Check out the rest of the requests on my masterlist here.

Riddle

"Are you ok Riddle? You're really tense." You ask and wonder if it was smart, the comment makes Riddle even more rigid to a degree that has to be painful. "I can let go of your hand-"

"No!" You shouldn't be so surprised how loudly he protests, emphasizing his point by intertwining your fingers without his usual embarrassment. "We are on a date so we are holding hands." Seeing that this does not persuade you he less certainly adds: "I want to hold your hand."

"I want to hold your hand too." You reassure him, squeezing his hand to emphasize the point making Riddle practically glow with happiness. He squeezes your hand as you both settle into the colosseum bleachers waiting for the fireworks show to begin. There is a part of you that wonders what Riddle has planned, he always has some sort of itinerary when you go on dates which sounds annoying but in practice is sort of cute. Riddle needs structure to feel comfortable, and if he needs to make a mental checklist to feel comfortable holding your hand you don't mind. He's relaxing into you the longer you spend together, eventually that checklist will fade into habit and Riddle will be able to hold your hand without looking smug every time he looks down at your intertwined fingers.

Fireworks burst into the sky illuminating that smug smile and the flicker of uncertainty as his blue grey eyes focus on your lips. A normal person might not think of giving their partner a kiss as a rule, but Riddle does. Clumsily he closes the distance and bumps more than he kisses your cheek, immediately sending his mind into a panic when you turn to him confused.

But then you smile, happiness bathed in red, blue, green as you lean forward to help him achieve his goal. You kiss him and melt away all thoughts of rules and obligation under a wave of wonder and happiness.

Leona

It's strange to see Leona up this late. Stranger still that this is, apparently, completely of his own free will. "I'm surprised you asked me to come, I thought you'd hate stuff like this."

"And I'm surprised you're this excited over somethin' this simple." He neither confirms or denies your accusation, instead settling himself close to your side on the shockingly nice blanket he had insisted on bringing onto the green.

"I've never seen magic fireworks before." You mutter, and Leona is merciful enough not to laugh out loud. It's weird, this soft way he's treating you. Not that you're complaining exactly, after the incident with Grim you barely got a chance to really enjoy any of the culture fair. You didn't go out to see any of the booths past Riddle's tour until Leona dragged you out of bed this afternoon in a trope reversal that stunned you too much to properly protest. There's a part of you that wonders, well more like worries, that Leona's only really taken you around today out of some misguided sense of obligation; you can't see him ever doing anything out of pity.

Not when he braces you against his chest just before the show begins, not when he makes sure you are comfortable with the level of noise, or how he makes sure not to put too much pressure on your wound when he nuzzles himself into your neck as the show truly starts. No, there's nothing resembling pity in the way Leona looks at you.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" He contentedly murmurs in your ear, pressing a brief kiss to your cheek before you drag him back to you for a longer one on your lips.

No, there's nothing resembling pity in the way Leona looks at you; just love, and maybe an annoyingly smug sense of satisfaction.

Jamil

"Before you start, I know what I said last year and I do not want to hear about it." You aren't certain why Jamil is bringing this up now when he hadn't while inviting you. Maybe because the last time you were under these canopies you weren't friends, so the numerous less than kind things he's said about you are whirling around in his mind.

You wonder what that Jamil would think if he saw this Jamil holding you in his lap while you wait for the show to start. He'd probably have a stroke.

"I don't really remember what you're talking about." You had been really excited about seeing fireworks and having fun dressing up to really think about Jamil being, well, a bit of a sourpuss. "Besides it can't be worse than anything else you've ever said about me." Jamil is far from sour now, the smile on his face as he pulls you up to your feet to begin dancing in tune with the show is exceptionally mischievous.

"It wasn't about you really, even if I wasn't conscious of it I knew I wanted to bring you back here someday." That's news to you, sure he said he felt bad about making more work for you and had made sure to dance with you during that show, but it's not like he'd had his eye on you before his overblot. As if he could read your mind, or maybe to be more accurate as if he had been trying to provoke that exact thought, he makes sure to dance more intimately than he did last time, reaching to hold you in his arms as the climax of the show explodes above you. The first kiss is brief, a gentle peck because he wants to get a good look at you in your outfit bathed in the firelit sky before the second.

It had been an idle thought then, but if that Jamil could see this one his smug satisfaction would outweigh the embarrassment. To be anyone's first choice was a win, to be yours? A complete and total victory.

WHY was I born a woman??

A List of Musical Theater Roles That Me and My Girl Best Friend Would be Perfect For. it also would be cool if they were just genderbent as lesbians but whatever

A comprehensive list under the cut 👍

#1

Erik and Christine!

Phantom is one of my favorite shows of all time. I don’t condone the kidnapping and such, but the aesthetic is unparalleled. My friend is a soprano 1 who eats every single time she sings Christine’s parts. The Phantom sings pretty solidly in my range. Also my bestie’s kind of into Erik’s weird toxic thing with Christine. Idk what that has to do with this but it feels relevant.

#2

Seymour and Audrey!

Little Shop is SUCH a good show. Suddenly Seymour is her go-to audition song, and one of our favorites to sing together. I feel like I could serve little pathetic loserman enough to pull this off.

#3

Gatsby and Daisy!

Ok I’m so sorry about this but like. Pining after an unavailable woman for five years? I WAS MADE FOR THIS. I’d need to learn the harmonies but that’s ok. My friend’s belt is so solid that she would body every single song in this show. Also I just love tragedy or whatever…

#4

Mendel and Trina!

The token normal healthy couple. I know almost every single line of every harmony in Falsettos (<-i say, normally) and being onstage acting insanely down bad for a friend? I’ve found I’m very good at! She says she’d have fun with Trina’s issues and such. We would eat this up.

#5

JD and Veronica!

No listen please hear me out. I learned the harmonies to Seventeen specifically so we could sing it together. Our friends will tell us to stfu because we just want to sing it whenever. Although my friend is a soprano, her range is kinda crazy and she has a lot of fun singing in the alto/mezzo range. I personally would have fun playing a murderous freak.

#6

Jack and Katherine!

I can do a New York accent already! I learned Jack’s harmonies for Something To Believe In and half of the score on trumpet. My Newsies phase was FOUL. My friend would absolutely eat Katharine’s disdain for Jack at the beginning and also she can tap dance!! Anyway my point is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN WE BE THESE TWO PLEASE

#7

Jim and Jenna!

Ok I can’t really defend myself on this one… I know the harmonies already if that helps? I just love Sara Bareilles and I love Waitress (i am on my knees begging) Can I be that gynecologist pleeeeeease pretty please? My friend would SERVE Jenna pwease pretty please (i crumble into dust)

#8

Emmett and Elle!

My friend is blonde. My friend could do this show so well. Emmett and I? Both supreme woman respecters. I think the dynamic of Emmett being insanely in love with Elle and her just not noticing we would do INCREDIBLY well. Once again. I know the man’s harmonies. I just want to be him so bad 😭

Thank you for reading if you got this far. Be on your way xoxo

[bat-gwuck]

lmao so these two games have like nothing in common other than they’re both in my top 5 re-occurring hyperfixations but idc I’m having fun 😼👍

ong rdr2 and dragon age (esp origins) are my two all time FAVOURITE games so I thought ykw fuck it im gonna make a crossover AU - never done an AU before so NGL there’s a lot of kinks to iron out but I’m kinda digging it

started off with a lil’ character sheet for Arthur - I flip flopped between what I would make him (Templar, warden, keep him as a street thief/outlaw etc.) before finally settling on a mix of both warden and street thief/outlaw!! idk Arthur just gives me really strong Grey Warden vibes - a tragic hero (sometimes on a path of redemption depending on the origin/how they played it) who also has smth in them that will eventually kill them, despite having some weird benefits (in Arthur’s case, mentally)?? they’re twinning fr

I also just fucking LOVE the grey wardens so…

so it starts off relatively similar to normal: Arthur joins up with the gang at a young age, becomes a thief yada yada, and after a disastrous robbery, they end up camping in Ferelden, just before the Blight starts (unlucky)

for the purposes of this fic, the gang is only comprised of the camp girls (minus Sadie, for now), Dutch, Hosea, Arthur, John, Jack, Swanson, Pearson, Micah, Bill, Sean, Lenny and Javier - Sadie and Charles appear a bit later!!

shit goes down as normal but for story purposes, a heck of a lot faster, and the gang starts to fracture

seeing this, and wanting better for everyone, especially in the midst of the now upcoming Blight, which Dutch, for whatever reasons, does not acknowledge the danger of, Hosea (WHO LIVES IN THIS SCREW YOU ROCKSTAR) gathers as many people as will listen to him (everyone minus Dutch, Micah, Bill, Javier) with him and splits from the gang and heads towards Denerim in hopes of finding safety/starting anew

during their travels however, the group ends up getting caught up in a battle between a group of grey wardens and dark spawn - in which, because he has the worst luck, Arthur is nicked by a darkspawn which only means one thing: death.

(Literally just realising this is basically carver in the deep roads)

Luckily, or unluckily, depending on how you view it, the grey wardens offer to take Arthur back to Ostagar with them, they were impressed by his fighting skills, and arguing that the only way for him to live was to become a grey warden

after a lot of hesitation, and a bit of arguing, as he doesn’t want to leave his family behind, Arthur agrees to go with them and parts ways with the remains of the gang, promising that, once this was all over, they’d find each other again

SO I feel like this is enough for now! I definitely have more to write on this and NGL I might even write a full blown fanfic of this BC ITS SO MUCH FUN??

if anyone is wondering, Arthur will meet Sadie n Charles at Ostagar

I’m not entirely sure if I want Arthur to be the HoF in this AU?? I am very much planning on him being a prominent figure in the fight against the Blight and the Archdemon but idk?? ALSO there will be characters from both games in this AU bc I love some of them too much to leave out (I’m looking at you Morrigan and Shale…)

I did kind of want him to be a Blackwall type figure but like if Blackwall acc became a Grey Warden 💀

I hope you liked this and if anyone has any ideas for this AU PLEASE let me know I’m so lost 😭

I’ll be doing some more of these character sheets so keep an eye out for them!!

also Arthur absolutely nicked the fur collar off a rich noble

[fromwhenceucame]

Round 2 of my favorite characters as warrior cats lets go — Sylvain, Claude, and Dimitri edition

Once again I throw logic out the window for actual cat markings/colors/whatever because I design based on vibes and I was only able to work a crest onto Sylvain (the red around his eyes resemble the two parts of the gautier crest) but I did try very hard to get the other two to have theirs (Dimitri gave me a stupid amount of trouble to get vibed right).

I knew I needed to put a heart on Sylvain for Sylvain reasons, and I thought it would be delightful if he only had it on one side — his other being just dark… I also really wanted to include black on him since his class outfits usually use black and red annnnnd the cat breed named after Gautier is a black and white cat.

Meanwhile, Claude is highly inspired by wyverns in the game. The lighter brown is basically wherever it would be on a wyvern, and the fact of his stripes are mostly from the Reigan tabby but also resembling the layered(?) look wyverns have… the scales, basically, with white stripes being used for more prominent scales (sort of, mostly because his wyvern is white and I needed to include it but he looked wrong with white stripes). His ear tufts represent wyvern horns/antlers, or they represent deer antlers! His tail and spots are deer-like, too.

And Dimitri !! He needed to be big and fluffy; and, he needed to have a mane with rounded ears like a lion so that’s the bulk of my ideas. The black part on his back is like the fur cloak he has post timeskip and his toes being black were just because I thought it would be neat 👍

I have been thinking about fe3h warrior cats in the back of my mind for over 2 years apparently, and it’s so easy to say we have Eagleclan, Lionclan, and Deerclan… that’s why those are the three clans. Maybe this world works a little differently, too, and the church is a band of clan cats who are always in contact with Starclan (allegedly) and therefore partially govern all the clans… Wolfclan also exists, but it’s not a real clan — it’s a band of rouges or loners who are doing their thing led by Yuri

Starting with Lionclan life, sometimes I remember that Thunderclan had a succession way back in the day with Oakstar to Pinestar and that is how Lambert wanted it to go before ~tragedy~ and I don’t know if it was Rufus or someone else who takes over afterwards but I do know that when Sylvain was a kit, a part of him really wanted to be a medicine cat but he never went down that path… though he does know a lot more about herbs than your average warrior! Good for him. At somepoint when it’s time for the timeskip, Dimitri disappears for 5-12 moons (I think 60 moons would be the 5 years but that feels too long for cats), becoming a rouge wandering the clans’ territories and picking off mostly Eagleclan like your unfriendly neighborhood cryptid. Eventually he’s normal again and not doing that, reclaiming the leadership position.

And with Deerclan I have not as many thoughts for I am not sure what makes the most sense for Almyra to be. Maybe something closer to the tribe? I do not know. What I do know is Claude came from there and got to be in the clans for a good long while, quickly rising to the rank of leader by the time the timeskip passes. I feel like Deerclan would be extra not happy about him simply showing up if that’s what goes down, so I support it happening. Kind of like how Tallstar makes Onewhisker the deputy on his deathbed, but it’s Claude’s grandpa doing that to Claude.

And I have a lot of name ideas for fe3h life !!

When I initially thought of names for specifically Lionclan/Faerghus, it was as if they were from Riverclan so the names on my mind have a very Riverclan-based scheme… but I really like some of them. Like “Shellrain” for Sylvain, I think it’s so fun if the name actually sounds like their real name. I needed to put “Rain” in as the suffix for Sylvain for that reason.

I think Lambert, who could be “Lightbass” or “Landbass” depending on how far you want to go with the names sounding alike, would name Dimitri “Lionkit” when he’s born. Then he can become “Liontrout” or “Liontree” again, depending on how far you want to go. Though, maybe his name is “Lionshade” “Lionshadow” or something else suspicious because it would probably be Rufus (who is Runfur because that is the closest I can get to it being Rufus) or someone else who doesn’t support him naming him at the time… unless warrior names are given out by the church group… hmmmm…

Regardless, I’m again not sure what Almyra is in connection to the clans, but Claude definitely has two names, and in the clans he goes by “Deerclaw.” Claw is the best suffix ever if you want to make a word that sounds like Claude (just like rain) so it has to be it, and “deer” is a very obviously accepted prefix for the clans. I don’t know what his original name should be yet, however.

And that’s all I got, but I have one more pair to contemplate (Aventurine and Dr Ratio) in the coming days before I start digging deeper into the other cats so stay tuned \o/ yippie

[chaosology]

[notmyprey]

so the ninjas are in a competition to see who can hold the most people. Who do you think wins? Who passes out from a food coma cause they were too stuburn otherwise?

Ok, I'm personally thinking of this in a more tiny prey light, but if yall want to imagine different sized prey my opinion still stands.

(Btw, I dont really remember much after the day of the departed, so the ninjas I am including in this are: Kai, Cole, Zane, Jay, Lloyd, and Nya)

I'm just gonna go down the list:

Cole

Total ninja consumed: All 5

Cole would win 100% and would be unfazed by the amount eaten. He eats many of the ninjas at once a lot, and it shows. He now brings the fact that he won this contest up a lot, mainly to annoy Jay.

Kai

Total ninja consumed: 4

He stopped at 4 cause it started to hurt, and he didn't want to push it too far and not be able to eat for a few days. He doesn't often eat many of the ninjas at once just because he is very warm, and it can cause the others to overheat since they are shoved so close together. But if he had more practice, that number would go up to 5.

Zane:

Total ninja consumed: 3

I know some people would argue that he's a robot and can't get sick and all that, but I also think people forget he isn't stretchy, so he has a set limit. Unlike Cole and Kai, he can't stretch his stomach to accommodate more than normal, so I think he would have to stop here, or he would risk hurting the others.

Jay:

Total ninja consumed: 2

He almost ate 3, but literally could not swallow the 3rd one down without puking them back up. Cole made a bet that Jay wouldn't even be able to eat 2, and that absolutely fuled Jay's determination to eat at least 2. That said, he was absolutely sick to his stomach days after and made sure to let everyone know it was Coles fault. Jay decided to blame the fact that he couldn't eat more of the ninja on the fact that he had eaten food right before the competition.

Nya:

Total ninja consumed: 2

She honestly didn't care too much. She probably could have eaten 4 if she tried, but she remembered halfway through the challenge she had something to do and left.

Lloyd:

Total ninja consumed: 1.5

He only actually was able to eat one of the ninjas and was able to almost swallow a second. The rest of the ninja felt bad, so they gave him the extra half a point to make him feel better (much to Jay's dismay, they did not give Jay the same grace when he almost got a 3rd ninja down).

So ye 👍

[mackmp3]

3, 5 and 9 for both your OCs!

YAYYYYY thank you :]

3- What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?

strangeways' is probably thinking that the correct solution to a situation she doesnt like is to just. do nothing about it and believe it will either go away, or be fine, or blow up in such a way that it all gets dealt with really quickly. avoidance? like if she has a big argument with someone she'll just avoid them for as long as possible. having an Alien Problem? her first instinct is that its probably not thatttttt bad right? surely this will be fine and there's no need to do anything tooooo drastic to try to fix it right?? it will all sort itself out???????? i think she is aware of it but possibly not the magnitude of how That Is Actually Not Ideal - when she realised she ages slower she more or less never saw her family again - she'd rather send them the occasional letter than have to see them age & explain why she isnt. like she'd rather not see her sisters or parents again (she wasnt super close with them but yknow, its her family) than have to explain any of what happened to her. but this is combined with being really bad at letting things go so she'll be doing nothing to change a situation while also being devoured by thinking about it. like a fear of change sort of thing

for mihangel..... in a sort of inverse of strangeways, mihangel sort of thinks that nothing too bad will ever happen to him - like yeah he died but that wasnt too bad was it? like he came back its literally fine. he can do xyz kind of dangerous thing because she'll probably be fine right? yeah she was distraught for months before he met strangeways because the doctor had left him back on earth without barely explaining anything but like she's mostly over that now so like its totally okay. this is a normal way to think about things 👍 like she doesnt believe she's indestructable or anything but has the potential to become very reckless, or impulsive, because she's either a) lived through worse & has convinced herself it wasnt that bad or b) just doesnt think anything could possibly go wrong. like she knows that dangers of, say, going swimming alone in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere in a whim, but just does it anyways cos he doesnt think anything bad will happen to Her. does this make sense

5- How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

ooh this is a good question because i uh. am not super sure what either of their base character motivations are lol

i think strangeways and mihangel both are likely to end up in a situation where they're both so in deep with a situation that they Cant just stop whatever it is & go back to their normal lives. b/c strangeways doenst know when / if she'll die she'd probably let herself get, ah, a wee bit closer to finding out than most people if its in pursuit of something she wants - though i think mostly she wants to feel normal again. the time vortex changed stuff within her & she doenst know what & has been living with it for so long thats she's not sure what she was like before, who she could have grown up to be. she'd think well, if i'm going to die then at least i know that i can & i'm doomed to be immortal, and if i dont die then i'll find out later. she's about 75ish but still looks in the mid/early twenties range so she think shes lived a normal lifespan and wouldnt... mind? if she doesnt live for far longer even though she technically could. damn thats dark uhm sorry. she does want those extra decades for her hobbies though :)

mihangel i think would be driven to one (1) act of violence and then be so horrifically guilty about it for the rest of her life, like anxiety-spiral guilt over one thing, that she's do anything & everything to never do it again. he would think of it like that too

9- Do you have a specific lyric or quote which you associate with your OC?

not at the moment no :( i havent made playlists for them or anything though i might in the future. strangeways esp. listens to english trad folk & like nico, and mihangel to post punk & goth of a specifically 80s variety and im sure theres lots of stuff in there thats very Them but i dont have anything at the moment. however while writing this i did think of that bob dylan quote about joan baez 'she looked like a religious icon, like someone you would sacrifice yourself for' both of them have defintely had that thought at somepoint about someone

Silly rant about how much I hate the school system but it’s long and angry so

School is so fucking insufferable, you’ll try talk to a teacher getting paid to teach you for two seconds and to complain about the workload and explain your other subjects and they’ll patronise you to death treating you like an overwhelmed 5 year old. I shit you not, I genuinely just asked to talk to two of my teachers for five fucking minutes to ask about them cutting back a bit on mandatory revision so I could do it during study leave to make time for more important subjects, and explained as factually and concisely as possible, and got told to “calm down and breathe” like 500 times while I was fucking talking. One of them I shit you not tried to get me to do fucking breathing exercises with her and repeat back what I was going to do, what in the actual fuck, I was genuinely getting so pissed off and I’m still mad about it lmao, all I need is a “ok 👍 I trust you, I’ll cut back on the mandatory revision homework for you and you focus on your other subject that’re pressing right now”, not to get treated like a first year in special ed.

Teachers have always been like this fr and it’s genuinely been getting to me for fucking years. You’ll go to them about anything trying to have a really really normal conversation and they’ll treat you like you’re completely fucking inept. Throwback to the time my vice principal told me off for “talking back to her” by telling her that a girl getting sexually harassed being her fault made no sense, to the time she found out I was suicidal and fucking schizing (recently actually) and went “are we not having such a good day today? :(“ and also asked if harming myself made me feel good and then went “no, I didn’t think so :(“. Oh and for good measure, throwback to the time the girls in my year were told they couldn’t wear leggings in PE bc it “distracts the male staff” and the time they called all the girls (or afab people lmfao) into the hall to tell us we were “asking for it” bc of rolling up skirts and makeup and made everyone who had them take off makeup/nails and roll down skirts one by one. And that shits just commonplace in schools fr it fucking makes me want to kill myself tbh although I vastly prefer directly insulting a full room of 14 year olds calling them whores to treating mentally ill or VAGUELY stressed people like actual fucking children. Call me a schizo freak and get it over with fr. Genuinely fucking thought this shit would end by sixth form, apparently not! Yeah everyone else in the school looks at me like an adult, and you lot keep saying we’re “young adults” now, and oh yeah sure I can legally get married, have a job, generally am above the age of consent, I’m learning to drive, but oh no! Still have to get not just treated like a kid, but baby-ed. At this point I don’t even feel patronised, I feel fucking insulted.

A different time one of those teachers asked me if I was going out with my female friend while I was trying to express concern for them because they’d pretty much gone missing (it’s complicated), and when I said no they then asked me if I wanted to, which I’ve never fucking gotten over bc why the fuck would you ask me that, but that’s by the by

Can’t wait to leave the school system behind forever fr.

Hello, I’m one of the contestants of the AU Sonic Smackdown, @delightrolls, the creator of the Sonic Thunderstorm AU. I was trying to decide who to vote for between you and @chopp-6467, but the decision is proving to be difficult. Would you kindly tell me more about your Evil Sonic AU? Anything and everything you feel comfortable sharing about your phenomenal story! And if you want some more specific questions I would like to ask:

Is there anything that could convince Sonic that what he is doing is wrong or change his worldview?

Is there anyone on Sonic’s side after Tails leaves him?

Does Sonic ever manage to lure anyone else over to his side like Shadow?

What does Sonic intend to do to change the world? Assert a Totalitarianistic government? Kill anyone they deem as rotten? Something else entirely?

How did the Master Emerald go missing? Are the Chaos Emeralds also missing?

Why did Sonic’s “friends” betray him? Was it for him now being blue? For his Superspeed? For something else completely?

Do Sonic and Tails’ robots look like Badniks or like something else?

Thank you for your time and regardless of whether you win or lose I think your story is phenomenal :)

Holy crap, I am SO sorry for the late answer, i had school n' other stuff, fu--

Anyways, yea, for the questions- I don't think Sonic will be changing his view on the world any time soon, but if there was anyone to try and attempt to convince him once more, it would either be Amy or Robotnik, but other than that, he just doesn't want to listen to anyone since he's too far gone at that point when Tails isn't there anymore.

-question 2: Yea, no, there's no one there for him when Tails leaves, but he eventually makes a Metal Tails, maybe even make some Metal versions of the rest if he ever felt like it.

-question 3: When he means by taking over the world and 'changing it into a better place' that is straight up Eggman behavior, lmfao. If anything, he mostly wants **revenge (sorry) against the world and make it his own so that there would be no one there to stop him if that time was ever to come, and because of his bias towards the world, he wouldn't hesitate to attack innocents by then.

-question 4: The Master Emerald didn't exactly go missing, more like.. it's there, it's just that Sonic will do anything to get it, and once he gets the power from the Master Emerald, he wouldn't hesitate to take it out of Angel Island with the power of his machines if he succeeded. But, as for the Chaos Emeralds, they are in this universe, they're just currently scattered, but Sonic could care less about the Chaos Emeralds since he only wants the Master Emerald, It contains the ultimate power, so of course he would go for the big and shiny and more powerful Emerald. This right here, will eventually become a huge problem for Sonic later on! :P

-question 5: Sonic's friends were fake friends from the start, so eventually, they were going to leave him behind at some point when he was still a normal hedgehog with super speed, because they saw him as a really annoying and hyperactive hedgehog to them. But once he broke the sound barrier, you could say that they were secretly jealous in a way and picked on him, and soon, left him behind. Sorry if i wasn't too specific with this part ^^'

-question 6: As for the badniks, it's pretty much just your regular badniks like the ones you see in the og Sonic games (For example: Buzzbombers, Motobugs, crabmeats, etc), but I have been thinking about maybe making some custom ones just for this AU, so far I can only come up with 1 which I forgot the name of, but i think i have it saved somewhere in my gallery, idk though.

Aaand, ye, that's all.

Again, i am so sorry to answer this late, I'm currently in school answering this ;-;" but thank you so much qwq♡

I'm glad you and some others like the story so far, it's currently a work in progress, but I've tried to come up with some stuff here and there during these questions, so.. yea👍

Tbh, i thought the story i did for this AU would be silly, i didn't think people would actually like it, so weh.. thanks for that, too 🥲❤️

Also also, I've seen how this can somewhat count as propaganda, so.. hope you don't mind if i tag the @au-sonic-smackdown account

Part 6 of ada meeting Leon’s daughter keep up the good work👍⚡️🌩️

Nonny, you and several other people have requested this thing for a while, so here you go!

Here’s the link to the others 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5

Leon had drove himself and Ada to one of the smaller parks in the neighborhood. As he parked toward a thick of trees and dimmed in the lights, he scanned all sides of his vehicle in rapid succession. His mind dedicating to memory all the potential blind spots and, god forbid, a few escape routes.

"You seem on edge," Ada pointed out while she unpacked hers and Leon's take out order from the paper bag.

"Well, you never know when a big monster is going to come out and ruin your night." Leon mused albeit sadly. He could let his years as a government agent take a backseat in his head, but when it came to Raccoon City--and being swarmed by the undead--his mind was quick to envision such creatures emerging from the shadows at any given time.

Snapping himself out of it, Leon took one last glance of his surroundings before making his peace. "There's not a soul in sight."

"I would call that a good thing." Ada smiled, and handed Leon's bowl of food to him.

"Maybe you're right." Leon returned the smile, popping the lid off his teriyaki noodles he ordered after retrieving it from Ada. The aroma flooded his nose, and he quickly discarded his hypervigilance and dug in with the pair of chopsticks he retrieved from the cars cup holder.

For the next half hour, Ada and Leon ate and devoted time to small talk in between bites. Both enjoyed the general peace between one another, and how being among familiar company was pleasant. At some point though, Leon cracked a terrible joke that had Ada almost choking on her own noodles between fits. As they both came down from the high--and Leon recovered from the few slaps Ada gave his shoulder--did they begin to feel brave enough to travel into deeper waters.

"Why am I not surprised Redfield and Valentine hooked up?" Ada sighed as she wiped her mouth, tossing her chopsticks into the take out bag along with the bowl.

"Honestly, they should've tied the knot a long time ago." Leon laughed. "I mean we're all getting old, and keeping up with kids is tough."

"They sired offspring too?" Ada teased, grinning at the face Leon made before he chuckled.

"Yep. Two of them. Boy and a girl. They might be adopting a teen last I heard. Jade and I were going to visit them, but then Kiera got sick and we had to reschedule. We fly out in the next three months."

"I see," Ada replied.

"Does that bother you?" Leon asked.

"No," Ada shook her head, taken aback. "Why would you assume that?"

"You sounded kind of sad there for a moment." Leon pointed out.

"It's strange, that's all." Ada shrugged.

Leon chortled. "What, having a normal life?"

"That," Ada pointed at him playfully and chuckled. "And hearing where my former adversaries ended up. Harper got promoted to your original position in government, Chambers might be receiving a peace prize, and Redfield's sister is running what, five different organizations now?"

"Three and a half technically, plus the charity work." Leon corrected. He flinched as Ada flicked the side of his cheek and smirked afterward.

"You're such a smart ass these days." Ada mused.

"Coming from you, I'll take that over dumbass."

"How sweet."

They both laughed, coming to a pause when either of them got stuck looking at the other. The inside of the car began to feel hot, and Leon cracked the drivers window down just a little.

"So," Leon cleared his throat. "I guess that's our cue to dive into whatever horrible crap my ex-wife got herself involved with."

Ada blinked a few times, looking away as she rubbed the back of her neck. She knew Leon's sarcasm was a coverup for the bitterness he no doubtly felt toward the circumstances of Kiera's untimely death, and wondered if he was truly up for hearing everything. Then again, Ada knew from experience that keeping things hidden for Leon's sake usually backfired. No, she needed to give it to him straight.

"I think she bit off more than she could chew." Ada admitted, crossing her arms.

"Care to elaborate?" Leon asked.

"Well," Ada furrowed her brows. "While I don't have any evidence for foul play as of yet, she was corresponding with lesser bioterrorists to get more hits on her main target."

Leon's eyes widened. "You gotta be kidding me!"

"I wish I was," Ada admitted bitterly, speaking from experience. "The aliases of her contacts, I'm familiar with them."

"God damn it..." Leon murmured, breathing into his palms before he rubbed his eyes. He let out a few deep breaths as Ada observed him worriedly. "Do you have any suspects of who could've killed her based on that?"

Ada shook her head. "No, but John Boy on the list--he may be a rat in the black market, but he does have connections to bigger players, ones that trade B.O.Ws like baseball cards." she let more of the information sink, pausing until Leon eased up a little. "I can make some calls to my friends on the other side, see if I can dig up anything more."

"I would appreciate that," Leon nodded. He bowed his head, once more rubbing his eyes as if he to hold back tears.

"Not to pry, but it seems like you know something about this that I don't."

"Leon closed his eyes, swallowing as he gave a small nod to Ada's remark. He adjusted his posture, and gazed forward through the car windows; taking a fraction of a second to admire the dark scenery and the lights illuminating sections of the park before responding.

"I was picking up Jade for visitation the day I found out Kiera had been assigned to a big case," Leon furrowed his brows as he smiled while reminiscing. "She was always given the scraps at work, and finally had something worthwhile. I should've been happy for her, but the moment she confided in me about the link to a potential bioterrorist, I lost it. One thing led to another, and we had a huge fight."

"Was the fight about her safety?" Ada asked.

Leon shrugged. "That, and the danger she could've been putting Jade in. You and I both know there are people out in this world that would love more than anything to destroy what I've built. Kiera--as much as we loved each other, she never understood the gravity of that. The weight of the fear. I tried to convince her to get off the case, but she wouldn't have it."

Ada was silent while she quietly observed Leon. Even within the dim lightning of the car, she could see the creases of the corner of his eyes brimming with tears.

"Y'know, one of the last things I said to her, was that she was selfish. That she didn't love Jade enough to put aside her ego. That wasn't true, that wasn't true..." Leon murmured, shaking his head. "I was just...scared out of my fucking head. Trying to say anything to get her to drop it."

Ada smiled slightly, admiring Kiera's stubbornness if only for a moment. "It's not your fault, what happened to her."

"I know," Leon nodded. "But it doesn't change the guilt. I could've handled it better."

"You could've," Ada admitted. "But it wouldn't change her fate. Contrary to what you said, it sounded like Kiera knew what she was getting involved with, weighed out the risks, and sadly, she overestimated her luck. That is if she was murdered and didn't die of natural causes."

"Do you really believe that?" Leon asked, raising a brow as he turned his head to Ada. "Given the circumstances and our experiences with bioterrorists, do you really believe she died of natural causes?"

"Oh, one hundred percent there's foul play." Ada nodded. "I'm not denying that. All I'm saying is...look, I don't believe in fate. You know I've never been the type, but after all these years, I do believe when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. This was hers, as sad as it was. You can't linger on the what ifs, Leon. Not when you have a kid depending on you."

Leon softly smirked. "I wish you were this philosophical back in the day."

"You would've loathed me." Ada smiled. "Besides, you had more than enough of an open mind for the two of us."

"I think Jade has us beat there." Leon grinned as both he and Ada chuckled.

As the laughter died down, the tension from before returned.

Meeting Ada's eyes and how she looked him over, Leon's pulse rose.

Everything became overwhelming. The leftover smell from the food, her own sweetness, and just how good it felt to be around her again, had his mind spinning and it seemed the same effect was being had upon her for Leon noticed Ada had no qualms when they inched forward from their seats, adjusting so they could kiss one another with ease.

What began as a small peck, evolved into a passionate tug between both their lips. Neither wanted to come up for air, until Leon got a hold of himself and pulled away a little; giving them enough room to speak.

"I'm sorry--"

"I told you, no funny business." Ada breathed.

"I know, I know, but..."

"Screw it."

"But we--" Leon let out a groan as Ada silenced him with another kiss, and he knew--they both knew--that neither party was willing to stop this time.
