HELLO, MINNEAPOLIS!

Oh my blog, bean buns. I just had THEEEEE wildest dream.

Absolutely PACKED concert stadium. Beautiful night. Fans in a mood of adoration.

RADITZ. Glorious. So much hair. Front and center, singing with his whole entire goddamn chest, I can't even describe the genre, but Big-Big Kitty Man Boyfie apparently has a voice that's like Josh Groban and Meat Loaf just Raditzissimo-ed together, and everyone went BA-NANNER-ZZZZZ. Of course.

And then he got this look of absolute feline delight and counted off a zesty, "ONE-TWO-TRUNKS-NAPPA!!!" so they could start jamming. The fuck. OOOUUUUUTTT.

Raditz on lead guitar and vocals, Kid Trunks slamming on bass, Nappa absolutely ANNIHILATING everyone on drums. I think Chi-Chi showed up on keyboards at some point. And then the genre was "Journey x Meat Loaf," because "Saiyans x Meat Loaf" seems to be a headcanon sticking point for me. It just makes cultural sense.

Also, during intermission, Goku came out and sat on the Flying Nimbus and played some chill bamboo flute jams for everybody. I guess so they could catch their breath and reorganize their minds before getting ANNIHILATED with the absolute VIGOR of the second half.

And in the "lead man lies on stage and talks to the audience for a minute" part that you get from Green Day, Raditz went full panther and looked out at the crowd and purred, "Hey, babes... Guess what? ...You're... still...

Here."

in the most adoringly threatening way. Like, a tone of, "I really want to bite you, and YES, it is sexual. But also romantic." Because it was like... referring to the fact that both he and Nappa (and by extension Vegeta) had totally come to Earth with EXTREMELY ill intentions for all the folks in front of them tonight. But something beautiful had happened that transformed all three of them, and now there's a bond of... THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. This beautiful moment between the two Saiyans up here and the THOUSANDS of you out there in front of us, celebrating how much we love each other. We love you as much or more than you love us, humans. Humanity. Earthlings. Earth. We love you. I want to bite you, and it's both sexual and romantic. I love you so much. Chomp-chomp.

NOW LET'S ROCK!!!

And they tore the fucking house down.

And then Raditz was like, "Aw-RIIIIIIGHTTT!!! GOOD NIGHT, MINNEAPOLIS!!!"

And this morning I woke up like, "...goddamn."

" Flutes of the Chi " by Ween starring Felix The Cat

[ultimateshixiongfuckertournament]

Canonicals Tournament Round 2, Match 4

Match 4 is between Rong Hao from Love Between Fairy and Devil (shizun: Chi Di Nu Zi) and Yuuri Katsuki from Yuri!!! on Ice (shizun/mentor: Viktor Nikiforov)

Propaganda under the cut! (Warning: Propaganda may include spoilers about the characters and their media)

Rong Hao:

This guy tried so hard to destroy three realms and murdered so many people so that his shizun could be alive and well.

#all he wanted was for shizun to come back to him#his anger that nobody “respected bee sacrifice” was so real#vote Tooting Muderer

#ronghao is so fucked up about his shifu and it's delicious

#Ronghao is… intense#so busy thinking about shizunfucker things that he couldn’t spend even a moment learning how to play a second song on his flute#in thirty thousand years

Yuuri Katsuki:

Well, this one is just canon; they literally get engaged and retire to dance duets together. But really, all you truly need to know is that Yuuri canonically papered his entire bedroom in posters of Viktor. You just know he absolutely jerked it in that bedroom while staring at those posters. There's no way that didn't happen.

You read MDZS right?? Do you know any demonic cultivator lore that can fit in with SVSSS because I’m trying to flesh out an au but I don’t know anything ToT

Oooooooo ok the thing is I did but I barely understood it 😭😭 I ‘read’ the first like two volumes as an audiobook on YouTube and had a hard time finding where I was at in the kindle books so there was definitely a bit of confusion going on ToT

Buuuut I know that wwx talked a lot about the yin energy or whatever and how despite being associated with darkness wasn’t necessary evil and was basically used and manipulated in the same way as whatever the normal chi was and the difference was just that it was sourced from evil spirits and stuff

And again I haven’t fact checked this and I haven’t reread it since I first read it so

But in scum villain they also make the distinction between human and demon energies and how they were not the same thing

So a demonic cultivator in scum villain may not be directly using energy from demons themselves but from demonic artifacts or ghosts and a scum villain version of the walking corpses.

And Ykw it’s for an au so it doesn’t have to be word for word with the original text so I’ll just go for it theorizing in the next paragraph lol

Something that I noticed just over xianxia settings vs Wei Wuxian (who I’m just using as my primary demonic cultivator example) is that most cultivators mostly generate power from themselves while wwx for plot reasons cannot do that and mostly relies on talismans and trinkets that absorb or summon things from the environment, for example the dolls that he possessed in the ghost town that used the existing dolls as like a channel, the compass that detects the negative spiritual energy, and the pool of blood in the cave where he lived for a while where he used the existing negative energy to grow and raise some of the walking corpses

Also it was heavily implied throughout that using that type of energy was damaging to their cores and that people actually went crazy and stuff so maybe that’s another reason that demonic cultivators might use and manipulate existing negative energy rather than trying to cultivate it within themselves??

And if this were in a scum villain setting I think there would be a distinction between energy that has demonic origin and energy that has evil spirit origin since it’s more of a species biological feature than a ‘I died and I hated this person so now I have magical powers to make this person suffer oh no you’re hypnotizing me with your evil flute aaaaaaaa’

Idk I hope that made at least a little bit of sense and I don’t know how lore accurate this is but this was my impression yk

Back to directory

Aether

Third years who just transferred in, how unlucky to change schools in their last year

Runs morning announcements with his sister Lumine

Somehow becomes his class president, seriously he just got here

His vice-president is Wanderer and at first he’s confused as to why

But then he gets to know him and realizes that he isn’t so bad

Has a problem with Ajax, another third year, solely because their first interaction was Ajax trying to pick a fight

Chief editor of the school newspaper, his sister is the Chief writer

They’re really good at recording stories and reporting them

Really popular with the student body, he’s just great at listening and giving  advice

Also really involved in other clubs events, the knitting club had a little workshop once and he made a hat that he gave to Albedo for his sister

Albedo had wanted to go but the art club had a field trip to a limited exhibit and as the president he had to go

For the school festival his class did a drama production with Aether as the prince looking for his sister

Lumine was busy with her class’ event though, so the play ended with him still on his journey but with a lot of new friends

He did manage to convince her to wear an exclamation mark above her head all day, and people could get a stamp from her to spin a wheel for a prize

Worst subjects are geography and math, best subject is history

Group projects with him are really easy, his work is always done first

Venti

The music teacher but he constantly gets mistaken for a student

Used to be a traveling musician but had kind of a Koro-sensei situation with the nameless bard

Controls the morning announcement music, the first month it’s always his music

After band auditions he has the students record for the announcements

Regularly pranks the other staff, once changed Mr.Zhongli’s desktop to a picture of [Venti]

Zhongli is too tech illiterate to change it back himself, Nahida has to help

Genuinely adores his students and is always happy to help/give advice

Actually helps run the Miss Hina advice column with Gorou since he needed and staff supervisor

Venti has no favorite student(s), he thinks they’re all amazing in their own ways and says so every graduation

It feels genuine every time because it is

Xiao

A student teacher, baffling I know

Why is this man in teaching, he seems to hate everyone

Once, his friends picked him up after school because they were going to a concert

Everyone was scared of the supposed biker gang parked out front

Then Xiao came out and started talking to them, he came back around a minute later on his bike

It was, of course, the Yaksha all dining jackets made by Menogias

He gets bombarded by questions the next day

Intimidating aura but he wants to be there for his students like his teachers were for him

It’s no surprise he was a troubled youth, it’s one of the first things you might guess about him, but you’ll remember not to judge a book by its cover once you speak with him

Also he plays the flute

Sometimes you can pass by one of the music practice rooms at lunch and here him playing, sometimes with Venti

He’s shadowing Mr. Venti because he wants to be a music teacher, though he’s also really good with history

Kazuha

Third year, so his last year

Not part of band, but sometimes he joins as a guest

He was a part of band for the first two years, but his friend died over the summer and he just can’t commit to it right now

Childhood friends with Wanderer, though they’ve only recently reconnected because Kazuha gets why Wanderer shut him out in the first place

He hangs out with the gym teacher Beidou, she encourages him to stop by the judo club

She understands he doesn’t want a club commitment right now, but she thinks he needs something to keep him busy

He stops by Friday practices after school

Almost became Lumine’s vice-president for their class but lost out to Gorou

Gorou wasn’t going to run, but he didn’t want Kazuha to have to back out of the position and get asked questions

Has lunch in one of the stairwells with Gorou, Kokomi, Ayato, and Ayaka

When they’re busy with club stuff he’ll wither sit in the music room or in Beidou’s office, depending on if there’s band practice or not

A very good student and absolutely someone you want in your group

Doesn’t have a worst subject but his best subject is language

Heizou

A second year

He’s president of a detective club, they talk about crime shows, podcasts, and novels

Also a bit of a prankster and very hard to catch

Like if you don’t watch him do it you won’t be able to get him in trouble

His co-president Sara Kujo hates this

Wants to be a detective because his childhood friend was killed in an unsolved crime

Last year his club ran a murder mystery scavenger hunt for the school festival

He has been asked no less than 20 times if they’re doing it again this year

His club supervisor is Mr. Neuvillette, he teaches the laws of Teyvat class

He is also not happy with Heizou’s pranks, the the drama teacher Ms. Furina finds them hilarious

Ms. Furina cast him as the detective in this years play, the first years were annoyed that there were no auditions but once they realized he was basically a real life detective they were on board

Speaking of being a real life detective, if you lose something ask him

There is literally a column in the school paper to report lost objects

It’s usually returned within 2 days

Science is his worst subject but he’s still really good at it

Group projects with him are terrifying because he doesn’t finish it until the day before, but he does always get it done

Best subject is literature, really good at analysis

Wanderer

A third year, is often mistaken as a first year

Attends with his sister Raiden who’s a second year

His mother, Ei, is a teacher

First years, including when he was a first year, always avoid him because he looks like a delinquent

He liked that fear because it meant no one would bother him

Ei was worried though, he never really got over the death of his best friend when he was younger

Childhood friends with Kazuha, Kazuha’s grandpa was their neighbor so they were close

Niwa, Kazuha’s grandpa, died around the same time as Wanderer’s first friend whom he’d met at daycare

And he never really coped with it, at first he was really clingy with Kazuha and then he seemed to want nothing to do with him

They’re starting to rekindle their friendship now, Kazuha actually gets him now, as grim as that sounds

Part of the debate club because Nahida, the history and technology teacher, thought his essays were always amazingly persuasive

He joined at first because it let him call people idiots without getting in trouble, eventually he realized he actually enjoyed it

Got into detention once with Ajax because he punched him, to be far Ajax did say “fight me”

The start of a begrudged friendship

Worst subject is gym because he doesn't really try, he only puts in enough effort to not fail

His second worst subject is bio, and his best subject is history

His group work skills are 50/50, on one hand he will not communicate unless something is really wrong but on the other he finishes his work quickly and neatly

[littengamer909]

Regarding your high school AU, are there any clubs, sports, or general cliques the Incident gets split into?

The main one is band! Almost everyone is in the marching band. (Fun fact, this actually started as a band AU before I made it into a full of high school AU!) The sections are:

Percussion: Erica (Snare) and Orion (Tenors)

Flute: Shrimp

Clarinet: Bo

Trombone: Fail and Mar

Mellophone: Rose

Alto Saxophone: Chi, Lanc, and Bob

Tenor Saxophone: Friend

Trumpet: Bill (who is also on the football team! he gets absolutely no breaks at games i feel so bad for him)

Tuba: Chat and Smuk

Deko is in color guard and plays bass clarinet for concert band, and Joker is in cheer and plays trumpet.

Friend and Bob are in speech and debate, Erica has done stage crew for almost every school theater production, and Rose is in choir and often plays the lead in musicals. Chi and Lanc are also in the drama club, and Shrimp is on the junior varsity SSBU team in E-sports (she just like me fr). (Pirahnyawn is too lazy to join any extracurriculars, and he often rides Rose's coattails when it comes to schoolwork.)

As for cliques, there's not a lot of Plastics or Heathers, but Rose is pretty popular (in the sense that most people know her name). Erica, Fail, and Friend are all in a little friend group together, as are Orion, Mar, Bob, and Smuk.

[melodyswishes]

Hey you. Yes you. Want random context about oc x cannon things? Well I’ve made many things just now out of boredom while my art block is getting on my nerves. Enjoy this random lore I thought in my head, Regarding the Lego monkie kid show. Enjoy. And if not here for these type of content, Then please scroll on. Or simply leave.

The moon base.

Chang’e resides here with Lina. Earning Lina to roam freely around here and explore. Whenever Lina would stumble upon things she would scramble to something chaotic with it a bit before cleaning it up and continuing on. However in her point of view, This is a lovely idea of her relaxing in the moon base. And since cooking with Chang’e was a cooking show lina has picked up a few cooking tips here and there appearing on the show a couple of rare times. Either in the background help prepping the ingredients or washing the dishes quick and easy for Chang’e.

If you didn’t (which you really didn’t) know about lina is that she has a little tiny robot bunny that follows her around now after season 3.

The mech bunny is Lina’s companion as a little digital pet. Since Chang’e didn’t know what to do with the fella after Mk shrunk the poor bunny, She rewarded Lina from her good deeds by gifting her the mech bunny. Having Lina to decide she would name that very mech bunny Chi-Chi.

Sometimes Mei would see lina carry the lil dude around and ask if she could pet it, Only to be met with metal. Forgetting that the mech bunny is metal and wires instead of fluffiness like people would expect.

“At least it was cute though.. But I wonder if I could have one of those!!” -Mei (not cannon quote)

Outside of the moon base

Lina goes to pigsy’s noodles to get a quick snack and probably hang out around the gang for a spare couple of hours before heading back to the moon base. It’s either pigsy sometimes not recognizing Lina since she’s often not really around as much in season 1-2 due to Chang’e asking for quick errands but season 3-? is when Lina is really committed to know what the heck is going on nowadays.

Sometime around when the emperor had fallen from his place, Lina oddly felt a similar heart pulse around Mk, Macaque, Wukong and nezha. Lina shares a deep connection with feeling chang’e emotions rarely at times. Even including what she feels and it applies to Lina as well.

Lina has often hanged around the gang and picked up a few things from each and every one of them. Mk, His small sudden clumsiness when in situations that are clearly dangerous. Mei’s confidence for getting the things she wants to know out of people. Pigsy’s common logic in situations that are dangerous, Hence from around the time back in season one when mk called himself INVINCIBLE! On the same day he got his invincibility taken away on the same day (lol.)

Sandy’s calm, Cheerful manners to situations even not resorting to violence sometimes even if it’s not that serious. There would be some way to try and get past the situation from that point. Tang’s knowledge for many things even if so going full on dork on explaining a whole chapter to everyone to know about the information for one tiny thing. You’d say that Lina kinda is the same like tang. Going on about his knowledge for things like she goes off telling about her knowledge about the moon goddess, Chang’e.

Other characters

Aria is a polite older woman than Lina. About 4 years older if you’d know, And is friends with redson about things. Apart from her being snobby at some times, Aria means well from things. I can imagine Aria became friends with redson by sharing relatable things with him at times. But this will not form a relationship between the two as they will continue to be friends only.

I can imagine as a gift of redson being close friends with Aria, Aria is rewarded by her very own harp design. Aria plays the flute but never the harp. So this was difficult for her at first, But soon later on she’d get use to it and practically helps healing the crew with her sounds of her harp strings being played gently.

Aria is rarely around them. If anything when Lina and Aria met, They clicked together like a friendship bracelet. With a little help of Lina constantly gifting her with things that Lina shouldn’t have— Lina has a special curse of talking to random people without even knowing them for a long time. I’ll talk about Lina and Aria’s relationship in a little while ahead, I wouldn’t wanna give away too much information now would I?

Until then, IM GONE! (I did this last night and assume that I fell asleep after typing this.)

[princess-of-the-corner]

Sort of inspired by your Isekai AU, but "Purchased Powers" AU.

Basically, Chloe takes a big interest in magical artifacts either post almost being killed by several Akuma or post Pollen and starts trying to buy magic and magitech trinkets. Many are scams or fakes, or just don't work, but sometimes, they do, for goof or ill.

Some crossover one's that could also be naturalized into the setting:

Yu Yu Hausho: Trial Sword, which could make the Banshee Shriek, or Signature Special Sword, ETC. Steaming Spheres, Cape of No Return, Fruit of the Previous Life potion, or the Shadow Sword.

Jacki Chan Adventures: Cat of Cartomb, The Twelve Talismans, Shadowkhan Masks, Demon Archive, Armor of the Immortal, Wrist Bands of Shiva, Demon Chi Relics.

Concept Art: The seeming magic flute used by Melody in the early Miraculous concept art which seems to have its own powers and works as a lightsaber.

Kämpfer: Kämpfer bracelet, enhance one's physical abilities and grant a magic gun, or sword, or explosive spell.

Yugioh: DiaDhank, can possibly learn to summon monsters, Millennium Items, Shadow Charms.

Bleach: Quincy Bangle, Seele Schneider, Gintō, Sanrei Glove.

Beyblade: Bit Beasts

Could also visit places items are contained and drag plot back with her, or just have them ordered in, and plot may or may not follow.

Ohohohoho?

[sagesariadnd]

You know a detail I really love when it comes to spellcasting in D&D and tv/movies?

When the magic has its own signature or style based on who's casting it.

The Legend of Vox Machina is a great example of this, because pretty much every school of magic - and sometimes even the individual characters - have a distinct visual or technique. Delilah's necromancy is a prime example; it's all in shades of black and purple with jagged lines, it sounds like the screams of the damned, and it pulls from life essence, either from blood sacrifices or even just the jutting veins in Delilah's arms as she's casting, as if it's pulling the energy straight out of her body. Scanlan's magic is all flashy and transparent purple, radiant magic such as Pike or Kash's is gold and glowing. Keyleth I noticed does a motion of pulling energy out of the gem in her staff for a lot of spells, and I also noticed a lot of her spells make her cry out as she's exuding force, which feels very correct for druidic magic because it feels almost primal or instinctual.

Honor Among Thieves did this a bit, too, specifically thinking of the final encounter with Sophina, when she and Simon have the Bigby's Hand fight. They're obviously both casting Bigby's Hand, but Simon's is made of stone from the pebbles and cobblestones on the ground, while Sophina's is red and fleshy, much like her undead nature.

My Friday night character Sheyleigh, as a Way of Shadow monk, has access to a handful of spells using ki, which is how I ended up going down a rabbit hole of thinking of ki as just another way of channeling magic. I thought of spellcasting through that lens as Sheyleigh, and describe pretty much all of her spellcasting through a series of tai chi moves, like she's gathering her ki into one place to make the magic happen. And when she multiclassed into a trickery cleric of the Traveler (I'll get into that story when I make a proper post about her), I also considered his style and how their aesthetics mix - when she first started going down the path of multiclassing, I described her attempting to channel her ki into a Guiding Bolt, and the way I described it was intentionally inspired by Dragonball Z's Kamehameha and the various bending techniques in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Honestly, ATLA is a good reference for a lot of abilities when it comes to monks, and not just if you're playing Way of the Four Elements.

This is honestly one of the reasons why I love playing bards so much; music is so diverse and evokes so many moods, that there really are endless options for how that manifests into music. My bardlock Ameila, for example, used to have a hurdy-gurdy which her patron was sealed in, and I used the music of hurdy-gurdy player Andrey Vinogradov for the sort of musical palette of the character. There's a very dark, ominous sound to it, that I felt represented the darkness of her patron and an element of Ameila being a bit afraid of her own powers, with heavy inspiration from HP Lovecraft's __The Music of Erich Zann__. Conversely, my folk hero bard-rogue Glerble the Goblin is very boisterous and flashy, and his spells and inspiration come from epic ballads and over-the-top one-liners. I've had ideas kicking around for a tiefling bard who creates music exclusively through prestidigitation and minor illusion to put on synthesized music and light shows like a magical EDM performer, I've considered a bard-monk who fights using a bass flute as a quarterstaff or kashakas as nunchaku...honestly I could be here forever talking about all the different ways I've considered bardic magic.

I don't know if I had anywhere in particular to go with this. Just saying that it's really fun and cool to consider how magic may look and feel different from school of magic to school of magic, and from character to character. If you haven't tried roleplaying out your spellcasting components, try it sometime! 10/10 would recommend!
