One of many things I love about Echo is how he quite literally echoes his brothers.

- “Live to fight another day”

- His speech on Tantiss, echoing Fives’ speech to the cadets on Kamino.

- “Yeah, just like old times” just like Fives told Rex.

Etcetera.

Echo is the remaining representation of so many of his brothers, he keeps memories of his old brothers, new ones, his sisters, deserters, self-sacrificers, leaders, defectives, ARC Troopers, and over time he has become an amalgamation of all of them.

All the clone’s memories live in Echo.

“Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli gar darasuum”

“I am alive, you are dead, I will remember you, so you are eternal”

Echo is the echoes of his siblings.

Kero, Kero, Ganbatte, Tsukasa-kun! - Ruikasa Week 2024

Day 2: First Date

(ft. Sanrio collab & mentioned of Zozotown 1)

Today Tenma Tsukasa was in panic.

Shocking truly. To think that the great Tenma Tsukasa, future star, partner of Keroppi, and owner of the Rainy Frog Cafe, managed to get himself in such peril was something out of this world. 

And what is this so-called 'peril' you might ask?

This answer was straightforward really: he has a date in just fifteen minutes with one Kamishiro Rui.

Keroppi didn't really understand it at first. He had seen Tsukasa and Rui hanging around together. Ever since Rui and Hangyodon finally moved into the lighthouse by the coast, he has been visiting the cafe for breakfast and lunch. To say Tsukasa and Rui connect right off the bat was an understatement. It was as if they were always friends since tadpoles.

"They're great together, aren't they?" Hangyodon said before slurping the noodles he ordered.

Keroppi turned to him. "They are good friend."

Hangyodon shook his head. "More."

"More?"

"More."

Keroppi looked back at Rui and Tsukasa. Rui had his telescope in his hand and he chattered animatedly about the recent marine life he came up during his daily sail. Tsukasa meanwhile didn't say anything only listening with an elbow on his counter and chin on his palm, staring at Rui with a familiar gentle gaze. Keroppi only had seen that gentleness aimed toward his siblings, Saki and Touya. But…

Keroppi squinted.

Now that he looked closer…it wasn't the same. 

There’s adoration. Longings.

Love.

"Oh."

"Yep. Oh." Hangyodon spoke like he had realized it a long time ago. He did mention that Rui often made silly faces when rambling about Tsukasa, so it wouldn't be a surprise to him. Tsukasa also often talks about Rui, but Keroppi always thought it was about friendship. He kinda felt bad for not realizing it sooner.

That was why a few days later he decided to do a good deed for the both of them.

"You two should go out on a date sometimes." It was just a simple sentence, but it managed to make Rui spit his milkshake like they were in a cartoon.

"Keroppi!" Tsukasa yelled, high-pitched. More embarrassed than angry. "Where did that come from?!"

"You like each other, right?" Rui coughed. Tsukasa squeaked. Hangyodon nodded in agreement. "So, you should date at least once."

"You can't just say that!" Tsukasa pulled and squeezed his cheeks.

"I..." Rui cleared his throat. "I don't mind."

"E-Eh?" Tsukasa turned to him. "Y-You don't?"

Rui let out a flustered chuckle. "I would love to go on a date with Tsukasa."

"A--a-a-a-a-ahhhh ha ha HA HA HAHAHA" Tsukasa's cheeks were still bright red, but he managed to put his hands on his hips in an attempt to pull his usual pose. "Alright then!" He pointed at Rui. "Be prepared for the most exciting d-date in your life, Rui!"

Rui giggled. "I can't wait."

Which brought us to today with Tsukasa working his way to burn the carpet below him with his back and forth.

"You'll be fine, Tsukasa!" Keroppi said from his nightstand. "Rui would never be mad at you."

"But it has to be perfect, Keroppi!" Tsukasa yelled, more to himself than to his frog partner. His pacing somehow became even faster. "What if I screw up? What if Rui became so embarrassed that he didn't want to go out with me anymore? What if other people see us and laugh and then Rui doesn't want to go out with me anymore? What if I say something bad? What if I hurt his feelings? What if he enjoys none of this? What if-"

"Tsukasa!" Keroppi leaped and landed on Tsukasa's head, forcing him to stop.

He leaned down and stared at his human straight in the eyes despite being upside down. "You'll be fine. The fact that you're worrying means that you really care about Rui. There's no way Rui would leave you if this something turns bad, just like how I know you won't leave Rui."

Tsukasa went silent for a few seconds before sighing. "I just... I just want him to be happy with me."

"And he will." Keroppi patted Tsukasa's forehead. "Rui cares about you. Hangyodon told me so."

"He does?"

"Really, really does."

Tsukasa sighed and smiled. "Thanks, Keroppi." Which he answered with a double nod. "Okay..." Tsukasa slapped his cheeks twice, wincing at how hard he accidentally hit before shaking his head. "Okay. Keroppi, roll check!"

"Yes, Sir!" The frog leaped toward the desk where the long list had been placed. He picked up a pen. "Flower?"

"Check!" Tsukasa picked up the bouquet of vervain, masterworks, and hypericum erectum.

"Ticket to the movie?" 

"Check!" Tsukasa took out two tickets from his pocket and put it back.

"Hair and glasses?"

Tsukasa hair was fluffier. He usually uses gel to straighten up, but Rui requested not to use it for today to 'see Tsukasa-kun's authentic self'. The same goes with the contact lenses, instead preferring to the glasses. "Check! And check!"

"Coat?"

Tsukasa pulled out a coat and with a twirl, he put it on. "Check!"

"You're all set!" Keroppi then leaped into Tsukasa's coat pocket for one last look at the mirror: white collared top underneath a brown vest coat, along with the checkered outer coat, green pants, and white shoes. It wasn't like anything Tsukasa would wear, more mellow and elegant than his eccentric waiter uniform.

Tsukasa fixed his hair once again, mostly to calm himself before taking a deep breath. "Alright. I'm ready."

"You can do it!" Keroppi cheered, hands in the air. 

Tsukasa giggled and patted his partner. As he looked at the clock, his eyes widened. "Crap! We're going to be late!"

It was still 30 minutes away from the agreed-upon time, but Keroppi would let it slide.

*****

Tsukasa and Rui agreed to meet up by the fountain at the town square. Rui had arrived, already sitting on the edge with Hangyodon on his knees. Keroppi could see the fish creature reach his hand to pat Rui's cheeks, a gesture of reassurance. Rui let out a chuckle but his foot didn't stop tapping. Could it be that Rui was nervous as well? Huh. Curious.

"Rui!" Tsukasa shouted as he ran toward him. In response, Rui immediately stood up as Hangyodon leaped into his satchel. There was a blush on Rui's cheek and a wobbly smile from nervousness.

"You came, Tsukasa-kun." Like Tsukasa, Rui was dressing fancy: a green jacket over a brown top and red tie, brown pants, and shoes.

"Of course, I came! There's no way I'm breaking my own words!" Tsukasa grinned. Keroppi tapped Tsukasa's, a signal. "O-Oh." And the shyness returned as Tsukasa offered his bouquet. "For you..."

"O-Oh..." Rui took the flower, blush became more apparent. "My favorites."

"Of course they are." Tsukasa cleared his throat. "So. Are you ready to go?" And Rui nodded in response.

Nobody was really talking during the walk which was strange in Keroppi's opinion. The two were the 'weirdo combo' of the town, yet here they are, not 'weird'-ing out. It seemed like Hangyodon also noticed this as he tapped Rui's hand. When the purplenette noticed him, Hangyodon tapped his fins together. Rui blinked, glanced at Tsukasa, then back at Hangyodon with a blush. Hangyodon tapped Rui's hand again as if pushing it to touch Tsukasa's. Rui mouthed, "I know, I know!" before looking back at Tsukasa who was ignorant of his turmoil.

"T-Tsukasa-kun."

Tsukasa turned back to him. "Yeah?"

"Umm..." Rui averted his gaze. Then he reached for Tsukasa's hand, shyly holding it.

Tsukasa was blushing but he squeezed his hand back.

Both of them had the funny smile on their face, but Keroppi and Hangyodon knew they would be fine.

Update on the Strike Force Rimworld colony; they've been betrayed by a group of four people claiming to be refugees of an organ farming operation :)

(This is a new save file, I added some mods to the game and of course Seth doesn't have the damn mini gun when this happens)

So, I accepted four refugees into the colony for what was supposed to be five days. They were fine for the first three, did a lot of work and were actually very helpful. However, I get a notification and it tells me that the four refugees had been planning to betray us all along and then they set the base on fire and started attacking everyone.

Jon and Stephen got stuck fighting right next to one of the burning workshops and I was dumb enough to have built a too narrow hallway in that section and it quickly became apparent it was not the best area to be having a shootout with someone. Guy gets too close and Jon gets the everloving shit beat out of him until he's downed, but not to discredit him he did plenty of damage before then - enough so that Stephen only needed to fire a couple of shots before the guy went down. Unfortunately, the fire spread so much by then that they were both now suffering from heatstroke and being roasted alive. Stephen went down while he was trying to patch Jon up. It was all very traumatic for everyone involved especially them.

While all of this is happening down the hallway, Kimmel is on his way to equip a pistol from a weapon rack when another one of the traitors attacks him. They're too close to each other and the other guy has a steel mace so Kimmel is unfortunately pretty helpless and also gets the everloving shit beat out of him until Craig and Seth come in and shoot her.

Speaking of Craig and Seth; they were actually outside dealing with the other two traitors while Kimmel, Stephen, and Jon were inside the base. Craig and Seth teamed up and killed off the leader and protected John, Conan, and Fallon (who were also outside when it started and hidden inside of a nearby cave because they're incapable of violence) before they went in to help Kimmel, and then afterwards the last traitor panicked and tried to flee. Craig and Seth didn't let him and that's probably not my proudest moment but I was very invested and felt personally slighted by this betrayal and I wasn't gonna let him leave while he still had their FOOD IN HIS POCKETS that they MADE FOR THEM👹👹👹

Once the living threats were dealt with, John, Conan, and Fallon (as the only uninjured members) went in to save Jon, Stephen, and Kimmel. Craig and Seth tended to themselves while John hauled Kimmel to the hospital, Conan rescued Jon, and Fallon grabbed Stephen. Conan and Fallon both got burnt because of the fire while doing so but they managed to get everyone out of immediate danger. (I was absolutely panicking at this point because I was almost certain someone would die before they could get them to the hospital beds)

And then it was John's turn to be the MVP again because that little man worked his ass off stabilizing everyone; bouncing back and forth between Jon, Stephen, and Kimmel while the others did their best to tend to themselves.

And then, finally, once everyone was stable and not in immediate danger of dying and I started to wonder what to do about the massive fire, it started to fucking RAIN and I'm not exaggerating it felt like I just went through the entire plot of a movie in ten minutes. I went through all five stages of grief during this thing. I actually paused the game and sat back afterwards.

And then when I came back I saw a text bubble pop up with Conan proudly exclaiming that "Something tells me that tomorrow everything will go my way!" God I hope so.

TL;DR - Jon and Stephen had a dramatic and touching moment where they nearly both burned to death trying to save each other, Craig and Seth were the two badass fighters that took down the threats, John saved everyone's asses for the fifteenth time, and Fallon proved he was good for something after all.

hilariously, i do not fundamentally agree that five wouldn't under any circumstances homewreck any one of his siblings because he is incredibly maladjusted and i don't think he'd consider the ramifications of hurt it could cause considering all the other hurts their family have survived and i don't think he'd take it seriously at all and also he is an asshole <3 however! it is insane that they expect me to believe he would just peace out under any circumstances across any and every timeline and leave his family to face an apocalypse alone, as if he wouldn't sooner die trying to save them, let alone that he'd abandon them because the person he homewrecked one of them for hurt his feelings. as if his family has not been the center of his universe axis of his entire self for half a century.

Bruh I struggled so hard against Childe at first, now his boss fight is a BREEZE, and I don’t even need a shield character like I did before

And you’ll never guess which Genshin man is responsible for that

If you haven't answered them yet numbers 31 and 35 for the weird writer asks 💖

ohohoho~ don't mind if i do! (gonna switch the order around on this one too, if it's all the same ;)c )

35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?

oh god, where to start. beginning sentences with "and" or "but," for sure. i'm firmly of the mind that if it flows and things sound natural or fit your style, go for it. that sort of stuff is so arbitrary anyway, and as long as what you're writing sounds good, feels good, and entertains, then like...why not start a sentence with "and" or "but." pffft hehehe.

truly, though, my personal belief is that the "rules" of writing are there to give you something to learn from. know the rules, learn how to play by them, know WHY they're there...and then take a baseball bat to them. once you know the basics of writing and storytelling, the world's your oyster, kid. the only wrong way to write is the way that feels wrong to you.

31. Write a short love letter to your readers.

o readers, shall i count the ways i love thee...

hi there, you. yeah, you. you know who you are. the commenter, the chatter, the asker, the spam liker, the prompt sender, the kudos giver, the silent lurker, the reader-and-nothing-elser - you guys are the ones who make this weird, sometimes frustrating, hobby of mine very, very fun. you're the ones who make flipping through synonyms worth it, the ones who i think of first when it's 3am and i've woken up in a cold sweat because i finally know how to make that plotline work, jfc let me write this down before i forget it. i know that sounds cliché, but there's a reason clichés end up cliché, and that's that...well, there's truth in there.

from the bottom of my dusty, crusty heart, if you've ever taken time out of your day to read something i've written, be it a oneshot or a longfic, whether it was back in ye olde kingdom hearts days or now as i dig deeper and deeper into every horror fandom i can grab with both hands, please know that i do truly think on you fondly, and whether we've ever spoken or not, you've helped get me through some tough times.

without all of you, i'd...let's be real here, i'd be screaming all this nonsense into the void unchecked. as a writer, it's very nice to know that sometimes, when sometimes screams back, it's not just an echo. and as a horror writer, yeah, i...yeah that came out a certain way, didn't it? ah well.

you knew what you signed up for with me :) <3

weird writing asks for weird writers!

Keep seeing videos of all the big cons over East and like... man. Why did I have to live in the state that has fucking nothing

Don't get me wrong I *love* the small local cons we have here they're so well run, they're really in touch with the local community (*especially* the creative- they're all focused mainly on the artists and local performers and idols and game devs (which could be me soon - id kill to show a game at a local con) and shit which is great) and they arent overcrowded but. God the vibes of PaxAus or Oz Comic Con (the over east versions, not WAs (aka one of the worst cons we get here)) or the fur cons over there is just,,, it's something I *need* to see. There's so many people! It's so fucking huge and the vibes are *incredible* and god I need to move over east or ill die. Actually.

[whoviandoodler]

i think that for every post along the lines of 'you must reblog art you are killing the website and the artists you horrible person' that doesn't acknowledge the fact that artists must first write ids if they want to complain, a person who needs ids to get around should get paid a 1000 of the strongest currency

[realtapiocafan]

idgaf if it's in overtime, a win is a win and i really needed this one
