Fais fanfic rambles: Introduction to my 'Selkies by Starlight' ISaT AU

Note: Not to be confused with @looped-140-and-counting / Soren_793's wonderful Selkie AU oneshot series 'The Northern Islanders are Selkies' which was hugely inspiring for this if potentially VERY different in vibe (we got very into talking about cloaks! XD)

Basic premise/summary:

In an alternate version of the precanon adventure, the party lead by Mirabelle to stop the King freezing Vaugarde in time, recruit Siffrin as per usual.

Thing is, Siffrin is a Selkie.

A very skittish selkie without a cloak of their own, who openly wears the cloak of another, and due to Reasons is under the impression that the party know all both of those things and the Implications about them, and for whatever reason have decided to welcome him into their group anyway.

Which er, he's completely wrong about as the party know absolutely nothing.

Mira and Isa like most Vaugardian humans think 'shifters' are just fairytales, Odile knows shapeshifters are real but is only really familiar with how foxes like her father work, and Bonnie is actually able to sense some pretty major things but is a preteen dealing with a lot and hasn't even joined the party yet, so this pretty major misunderstanding is sustained for quite a while...

Cue the AUs' main focus being on the resulting party dynamic shifts as more and more canon divergence due to Sif's 'selkie stuff' (both cute and serious) comes into play, the party slowly realising something is up, and all of it hitting an eruption point right around the time of the 4th Orb/the loss of Siffrin's eye...

Some key world building notes: (Note: very summarised from my docs. I have like 20k+ words on this stuff XD)

The Island - Probably the most drastically different thing from canon here, the Island was not forgotten or erased here. Rather it is hidden away and permanently shrouded in Wish Craft generated fog from 'those without cloaks'. Side note: Sif is still unable to return home and continues to have some very plot critical memory problems but those are due to unrelated issues, which means yay I get to have Sif talk 'home culture' with the others in this =D Also idk why the King is freezing Vaugarde still. I've got a few ideas I'm not sure about and he's not in focus enough for it to even matter really, but random suggestions -especially those with possible selkie motivations- would be very much appreciated.

Selkie powers in my setting - Went into something of a deep dive regarding selkie folklore for this and did you know they have an absolute ton of seer/oracle based stuff going on?

From selkie being summoned by their human lovers shedding seven tears into the ocean, to a selkie man telling a former lover that he and their child will die at the hands by her genuinely good and loving future husband, to a selkie woman forseeing her fisherman husband about to die out in a storm just in time for her to swim over there and rescue him, etc.

So... Yeah. This AU has a lot of plot relevant sensory/seer stuff going on as well as the standard seal shapeshifter stuff (Islander selkie traditionally believe it to be the Universe talking with them, in the same way Wish Craft is talking to the Universe), and going off all the stuff I read decided it'd be most fitting if the general rule for how it all works is: - Selkie always passively have a bit of it going on (aka Sif's canon 'you sense someone nearby' stuff) which like most things can be enhanced with Craft use a bit. - Near perfect understanding of all 'connected' bodies of water (aka they know EXACTLY where the tasty fish are/will be and can probably get a general sense of location for most people on a boat) - Potentially get strong 'visions of the future' and/or instincts on what they need to do to avert an outcome when it comes to loved ones being in danger/distress.

They also maybe get to pull very fast, high power Wish Craft 'curses'/miracles' at idk, the cost of something major like their cloak or lives (mostly based off of the The Legend of Kópakonan where the whole island of Kalsoy was cursed with death by a selkie in retaliation for her husband and children being murdered) but not super attached to this idea past it being in 'seal shifter' stories in-setting.

Other non humans in setting and regional differences in shifters - Pretty much only selkie and selkie issues are in focus here, but just as a general thing, all non humans in setting are shapeshifters and originated from human ancestors who went crazy with the the Body Craft and/or used Wish Craft in some way.

Ka Bue in particular has a ton of them since yokai, with their origins being various sects/clans back in the warring eras going so nuts with trying to weaponize Body Craft (super soldiers, enhanced life spans, infiltration, exploiting attraction to furries, etc), that after some particularly high profile incidents (for an idea plz see: Kiyohime, Tamamo no Mae, Kachi-kachi Yama) and 'Body Craft misuse leading to shut down of the brain/vital organs' being the most common cause of death for 10+ years once peace time was established, eventually Ka Bue's authorities set their foot down and banned Body Craft altogether.

Currently the shifter population in Ka Bue is around 30% of the population, shifters are required to have ID regarding their forms (or potential forms if they're merely 'half'), and it's considered distasteful for a shifter to be in non human form outside of private settings/necessity and even ruder to ask a shifter about their non human forms if they haven't brought the topic up yet first (kinda like seeing/asking about someone's underwear or something XD).

In contrast the Vaugarde, Mwudu and Porteria region is extremely shifter sparce, with most of its original shifter population being the result of various Universe worshipping peoples (mostly small groups, like greek mystery cults) deciding to use a big Wish Craft ritual as some sort of religious rite and becoming shifters as a side effect of their primary Wish (usually stuff like 'we wish for us and our descendants to be one with You and the sea/air' or 'may we Change with the phases of the holy moon' etc) which granted them some pretty neat skills but also tended to come with some 'potentially nasty' drawbacks attached (see: selkie and swan maidens with their cloaks, werewolves Changing in both body and mind etc) Which er, lead to some issues born of lack of knowledge about this stuff, later some very nasty anti shifter sentiment in the region, and then around... IDK 200 to 300 years ago or so ended up exploding into violence and other very nasty things, with most shifters able to do so fleeing the region, and those that couldn't either enduring horrible conditions until they could escape/died or went deep into hiding, with the Island's Country being founded by the two later groups who used Wish Craft to hide their new home, erase awareness of their existence from their enemies (a short term, fully intentionally 'forgetting' blast centered specifically around shifters), and developed a LOT of culture and traditions regarding when, who and what can be told to 'outsiders' about themselves, Wish Craft, etc in order to keep their people safe.

There are shifters living in present in Vaugarde of course (anti shifter sentiment died back a LOT after most people stopped thinking they were real, and most modern day Change Believers are more likely to view these 'totally fictional/allegorical' beings as children/messengers of the Change God rather than 'evil demons who stole power by tearing apart the Change God's cloak for themselves and thus have to be hunted down and made to repent' propaganda take that was everywhere back then) but numbers actually living outside the Island as opposed to merely visiting remain low, since either the shifters know their history and stick firmly to their 'stay secret' traditions or quickly pick up on how oddly unknown shifters are around these parts and decide to err on the side of caution... Also 'trust worthy' humans who do learn about them (usually northern coastal folk, gee wonder why) tend to help cover them up so... Yeah =D

---

And... Yeah!

This is hella long as is, so will stop here and ramble about the actual 'how this all affects our beloved Sif and Co plot and culture wise' stuff that is the actual meat of the AU in another post later, but hope this made for an interesting/idea provoking read, know that I have no issue with anyone using any of this for their own works (just please, don't use the 'Selkies under starlight' same story name unless it's actually a fanfic/fanart of my 'hopefully soon has a chapter/one shot up' fic/Ao3 series of the same name so people don't get confused), and I would love to chatter with you about any thoughts/questions you might have so...

Wishing you a good day =D

(sighes in relief finally getting this post finished after literal months. Pheeeeww~)

[organizationhimself]

just kinda having some thinky thoughts about how dark road totally rewired eraqus's character and what a phenomenal job they did.

like here's your problem you have. you need to take this cloistered old man who raised his students in the jedi way, somehow put up with Old Man Villainy being That Way presumably on the regular, lost every last iota of his shit and turned on the Apocalypse Child he adopted as well as his surrogate son who was infested with The Evil (which the series has long established as not necessarily being good or bad without context) to say nothing of the headtrip he gave his direct heir, and you need to reduce him to a version of himself as a child that is. like. fun. someone who has a genuine friendship with xehanort and is regarded by xehanort as someone who is a "sly fox," i.e. not the sort of buffoon who tests for mastery of the keyblade by child-proofing some orbs of light.

where do you even begin?

YOU TRAUMATIZE THE UNGODLY HELL OUT OF HI--okay i'm getting ahead of myself, let's start with principles.

because eraqus is principled. he believes really firmly in the light in a way that's nearly sora-adjacent in its intensity, but the thing is that sora has this flexibility that eraqus was simply not raised to appreciate. yes, nomura, we understand you like the bright sunshine one and the wry brooding one, you did it with sora and riku, god knows what you did to axel's spine to fit him into the sunshine kid's mold next to isa as brooding anti-crybaby, and now we're doing the same thing to eraqus. ok. i love it when you're optimistic, let's do it.

so first we need confidence. easy; he's a smug little rich kid. worked for riku didn't it? (source: kh1 manga, and the fact that you cannot convince me anyone can maintain a kid with that build on a budget) but we also need to see how dark road changed him as a person. let's contrast his uptight stick-up-his-ass future with a present day class clown who doesn't take things seriously; a headstrong fighter who jokes that he'll just run away. and hey speaking of emotional damage, let's start easing into the inevitable terrible, horrific, unspeakable traumas we're going to visit on this defenseless creature with a little one as a treat:

HIT HIM RIGHT IN THE GRANDPA.

and there you go! we now have a source for eraqus's rejection of the darkness that is not simply a function of his career as a jedi keyblade master, but has an actual personal experience he can point back to in order to say "hey, darkness is the pits!! here is why." it sets the stage early for him to be already butting heads with xehanort, who takes a much more flexible look at the worlds and the way they work and is more willing to view things from the perspective that he is not an authority on the moral peculiarities of whatever world he is currently inhabiting.

xehanort is also a child of destiny [citation needed]. an isolated visitant who was born for finer things but never slept a day in his life without waking up with sand in his mouth until he reached out and took his fate in his bare hands and let it drag him all the way to scala.

where he met the blueblooded child of a keybearing legacy thousands of years in the making, just like his.

and suddenly what you have are unwitting equals. we're ready to set them both up at the chess board; eraqus's legacy is plain, he moves first and he makes no apologies for it because it's his birthright. but xehanort's half of the board is still buried in shadow, implied but never stated, never surrendered to eraqus's probing questions or revealed by his moves, but already aimed at a clash with destiny, fated, inevitable.

shall we say, already written.

and this is brilliant!! now we have a source for our "sly fox," a reason for xehanort to be extremely familiar with the way eraqus thinks (and not to star wars on main but the obi-wan kenobi series did something really similar to this narratively by using anakin and obi-wan's familiarity with each others' fighting styles to predict the actions they would take in a situation, and i will actually never be over it in my life, absolutely stealing it for a xehaqus fic sometime, just shamelessly mugging ewan mcgregor in the street for that solid gold good shit). not only that, but we also have an explanation for xehanort's motivations as described by kh3. he is not looking at the fight from the perspective of one of the pawns; he is looking at the fight as a player, deciding which pawn gets taken. selecting which rook to sacrifice in exchange for the queen.

and eraqus is opposite him, doing the exact same thing (sort of, kh3 was a little cerebral with that), but there's an important difference here that we'll come back to later on.

so, okay. we have a vague outline in the shape of a sunshine kid now. he has confidence tied to his role in society, his legacy gives him perspective, his trauma ensures that he will one day calcify against the darkness with such emphasis that he will unwittingly pad the therapy bills of an entire generation. so far so good.

but uh, yeah, his kids? he fights them? like okay, axel has his differences with his kids too but he's not trying to kill them (mostly). eraqus really definitely for real is, and ven is defenseless. so that'ssss...hard to square with the sunshine kid we're building, nomura, how do we explain that? we really can't handwave it as amnesia this time, we're not working with ansem the wise here.

(BALDR. BALDR IS HOW--

ok but wait wait wait, before we even get to baldr, there's something we can do:

make eraqus impulsive.

and i mean impulsive. make eraqus spoil for a fight with so much unmitigated howler monkey energy that he will fight his friends just to vent. (this isn't even a unique thing, riku and xion and even sora do it all the time, and we're not here to talk about ven's crimes against miners but it's clear that violence is a spoken language in kh.) eraqus is fluent, so we're making it so that all of eraqus's intensity and passion can be focused on a single point if xehanort pushes exactly the right switches in his head.

and then, y'know, yeah. make baldr slaughter all of his classmates, several of them right in front of him, because of unchecked darkness and baldr's own inability to see past his own grief and resentment for long enough to understand that all he's really doing is inflicting his own suffering on other people in a murderstorm of nihilism and bitterness. unrelenting trauma conga line, check.

and now we have almost all the elements. eraqus's principles can't allow him to accept darkness, both because his grandfather was lost to it and because it left him (by all accounts a bourgeois slacker at the bottom of his class, someone vidar doesn't even consider as a candidate for one of the lights despite what baldr has to say about eraqus as a light source) one of the only survivors of an event that completely resculpted his life and community. time to pack him off to the jedi temple land of departure to be least okayest teacher of the year, right?

well...no. we need eraqus to wait.

because he doesn't take on students. and doesn't, and doesn't, for decades. first he fights xehanort, and as we have established he is spoiling for that fight (white moves first!). and then when xehanort finally visits him to drop off that half-dead kid he found (ven was like that already shhh), he's kind of like politely like "oh, you have apprentices. they seem...bright," like he's congratulating eraqus on finally reaching a life stage that eraqus should have hit approximately 50 years ago, and eraqus is like "yeah yeah whatever shut up anyway YOU'VE got one too now right." (yen sid talks about the role of "seeker" like it's a different thing from "keyblade master" so that's where i'm extrapolating this distinction from, but regardless i don't think anyone ever seriously expected xehanort to take on students.)

my point here is that eraqus waited until the last possible opportunity to take on students. to carry on the legacy that was so important to him as a child, and to re-experience the closest thing to the camaraderie he had as a keybearer-in-training that he could ever have back. that is how impactful baldr's actions were for eraqus.

i'm veering completely into speculation now but i think eraqus was terrified. how could he not be? his class wasn't even taking the mark of mastery and still got decimated by it. how could he risk going through that again, but from odin's perspective this time? what guarantee would he ever have to avoid the same tragedy his master had failed to prevent?

so, NOW we know why eraqus's mark of mastery was a handful of light pinatas and a duel. (i like to think xehanort felt a certain level of professional embarrassment for him and wanted to make it just a little more like a real challenge.)

(this is a sidebar and i'm going to talk about my other blorbo for a second but terra has a beautiful dream of being a sly manipulator. that's why he doesn't worry about investing himself in villain schemes, because he assumes he'll see the snare coming before he gets his head caught in it, but it's never coming from directly in front of him like he expects. so this is a dream that will never come true, but he has it, and i think given what we knew about eraqus as early as blank points, its only possible source is a master who was strict and exacting, but--very occasionally--also a sly fox who secretly delighted in his students' nascent abilities to surprise and outwit him.)

back to the trauma, we also have, obviously, the explanation for eraqus's attitude towards terra, and later ven. terra is a tragedy in slow motion that eraqus has seen happen before. baldr was unable to control his darkness; it overwhelmed him, and eraqus does not have the context that xehanort does, that baldr was in some ways a product of his own darkness-shunning society. even if eraqus does have that context, i can't really see him agreeing with it--and even if he at one point agreed with it, he would have gotten that context from the same guy who last showed up at his house talking about kicking off the apocalypse for the vine.

so like. eraqus has never seen any damn thing in his whole life that doesn't confirm his bias against the darkness. does that make him innocent of parenting Incorrectly? no, he is a Bad Dad. does it explain his hopelessly unsuccessful parenting strategies? yes, it does.

what it reinforces is also that eraqus didn't want to have to fight terra and ven. the original bbs is honestly not very good about establishing this: he cries one Sad Tear. yawn. still child abuse, asshole! the stakes in bbs are also not very well established, because there's approximately six people in it and some of them are just the same guy over again, so we don't really have a sense that terra being taken over by the darkness is like...gonna mean something to eraqus that is sincerely worth the personal cost of killing him. since we're clearly no longer worried about ven, there aren't other students to protect (besides aqua, but she's a really hard sell on the "needs to be protected from terra with so much urgency he must not live another moment" front). there is no immediacy to ven's status as Apocalypse Child; if anything vanitas seems like the obviously more important threat, and maybe eraqus should be less concerned about weeding out students and more focused on vetting friends like Old Man So Clearly The Villain My Guy. bbs eraqus is just genuinely hard to like as a character.

but now we have dark road context.

and white moves first.

eraqus is not seeing terra or ven in that moment, he's seeing baldr. he's seeing the summoning of kingdom hearts that almost was, and he is gripped by meticulously prearranged, bone-deep, irrational, traumatized, unbridled impulse. the emotion must vent. the thing he was powerless to stop has returned to haunt him and he must resist it. he knows what will happen if terra strikes him down here and heads back out into the worlds in search of other hearts, other lights. he knows.

but terra resists, using the full spectrum of his strength without remorse, and it is only when eraqus's keyblade is ready to fall from his hand that he realizes the truth:

My own heart is darkness.

and when this happened in the original birth by sleep all i could think was yeah star wars dad!! nailed it your heart IS darkness you fuckin dillweed, about time!! what took you so long!!

but after dark road, this context is completely changed. eraqus is not just realizing that he fucked up.

he is realizing that he fucked up the exact same way baldr fucked up.

that he let his own grief and suffering cloud his judgment and guide his blade to strike out at his loved ones. that instead of finding a way to live with what's already happened to ven, what was long ago fated for terra, he turned his resentment outward and gave that darkness leave to consume them both whole.

but unlike baldr, eraqus regrets it.

it is that moment that xehanort cuts him down anyway, not because eraqus can't be saved the way baldr couldn't but because xehanort is cleaving away the last of his own attachments to the world so he can follow through with the rest of his plans, and i am SO NORMAL ABOUT THI

but okay anyway. eraqus has exactly one move left.

he can't see the board. unlike xehanort, he has no extra pieces of himself he can just bandy about; the warriors of light must assemble without any of his direct input, chasing the echoes of eraqus's students and pushing and pulling in reaction to xehanort's steady advance through the center. he has only one chance. he can't afford to waste it.

the kings are meeting in the middle of the board. the stalemate will come any moment, when they're both out of moves and out of time, leaving the fate of the worlds undecided.

and it is at this moment that eraqus pulls the same penultimate move that xehanort himself used on baldr, confronting him with the first victim his darkness ever struck down. eraqus almost doesn't have to say anything, at all, because xehanort has to know what it means. has to know what it says.

xehanort resists. the world is too far gone. too many horrible things can happen in it; it must be reset. not purged and filled with darkness, like baldr wanted, but returned to a state that can never mutate into the conditions that made baldr exist in the first place. that doomed all their classmates to die. it's too late.

For us, perhaps...but not for them.

and now we go back to the distinction.

the thing that makes xehanort's chess game different from eraqus's is that, for xehanort, it's only chess. the pieces he's moving have ceased to exist in his mind as individuals. they are pawns on a line of white and black squares, and they may weave away from his will here or there but they cannot be swayed from their march.

eraqus never forgets.

and it's actually eraqus's capacity for forgiveness that i haven't even touched on yet. this isn't a word i ever expected to associate with him, but eraqus spends dark road forgiving. five minutes after any altercation he's already forgotten about it. name-calling. arguments. rejection. opposition. full-on fighting.

murders.

when xehanort kills baldr, eraqus is still calling out for him to stop. when xehanort later strikes out at him with darkness (the thing eraqus is scared of the most!!), permanently disfiguring him, eraqus has already forgiven him before seeing him the next time in person.

he does not forget that baldr is a person in spite of his darkness, and eraqus doesn't want him to be killed for it. that terra is a person in spite of his darkness, and eraqus doesn't want to see it consume him. that ven is a person in spite of the darkness that was cleaved from him, and eraqus doesn't want to see it return.

(if you think about it the real tragedy is that we were robbed of him looking aqua in the eye and telling her that she isn't tainted forever, that it did not take her, and even if it had, that will always, always matter less than her finding her way back. i refuse to believe terra was not already made aware of these facts.)

but he also does not forget that xehanort is not a faceless player in the skies, impossible to convince of the significance of a pawn; he remembers that xehanort, too, is still a person.

this point is important because eraqus's last move is not a checkmate (I KNOW HE SAYS CHECKMATE but it is not checkmate), but it is calculated to produce something else: a concession. he doesn't need the board to support his win or xehanort's loss; he needs the player on the other side to put down the pieces and follow his beacon out of the dark.

and that is how nomura shows us our sunshine kid at last, fully formed, as he takes xehanort's burdens from him and spirits them both well beyond the reach of the board.

anyway yeah microwaving him in my brain along with axel (and also roxas and terra because if i don't collect all my blorbos AND their hot mess dads i'll never fill out my pokedex).

The Crowds Follow Jesus

1 And He having come down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

Because Jesus Is Willing And Able To Heal, He Heals a Man With Leprosy

2 And behold— a leper having come to Him was prostrating-himself before Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me”. 3 And having stretched-out His hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed”. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus says to him, “See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them”.

Because of a Master’s Faith, Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Servant Who Is Not Even Present

5 And He having entered into Capernaum, a centurion] came to Him, appealing-to Him 6 and saying, “Master, my servant has been put in the house paralyzed, being terribly tormented”. 7 And He says to him, “Having come, I will cure him”. 8 And having responded, the centurion said, “Master, I am not fit that You should come-in under my roof. But only speak it in a word and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it”. 10 Now having heard, Jesus marveled, and said to the ones following, “Truly I say to you, with no one in Israel did I find so-great a faith! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will lie-back [to eat] with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. In that place, there will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth”. 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go. Let it be done for you as you believed”. And his servant was healed at that hour.

The Healings Done By Jesus Fulfill What Was Predicted of Him In Isaiah

14 And Jesus, having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law having been put in bed, and being sick-with-fever. 15 And He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose, and was serving Him. 16 And having become evening, they brought to Him many being demon-possessed. And He cast-out the spirits with a word and cured all the ones being ill, 17 so that the thing might be fulfilled having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying “He took our weaknesses, and carried our diseases” [Isa 53:4].

Jesus Calls His Followers To Set Aside Earthly Goals And Limitations

18 Now Jesus, having seen a crowd around Him, gave-orders to depart to the other side. 19 And having come to Him, one scribe said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go”. 20 And Jesus says to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of Man does not have a place where He may lay His head”. 21 And another of His disciples said to Him, “Master, permit me first to go and bury my father”. 22 But Jesus says to him, “Be following Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead”.

Even The Winds And Sea Obey Jesus

23 And He having gotten into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold— a great shaking took place in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves. But He was sleeping. 25 And having gone to Him, they woke Him, saying, “Master, save us. We are perishing”. 26 And He says to them, “Why are you afraid, ones of-little-faith?” Then having arisen, He rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this One, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Demons Recognize Jesus As The Son of God, And Submit To His Authority Over Them

28 And He having come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two men being demon-possessed met Him, coming out of the tombs. They were very violent, so that no one was strong-enough to pass through that way. 29 And behold— they cried-out, saying, “What do we have to do with You, Son of God? Did You come here to torment us before the time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them. 31 And the demons were begging Him, saying, “If You are casting us out, send us out into the herd of pigs”. 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And the ones, having come out, went into the pigs. And behold— the whole herd rushed down the steep-bank into the sea and died in the waters. 33 And the ones feeding them fled. And having gone into the city, they reported everything— even the things about the ones being demon-possessed. 34 And behold— the whole city came out to meet with Jesus. And having seen Him, they begged that He pass on from their districts. — Matthew 8 | Disciples’ Literal New Testament (DLNT) Disciples' Literal New Testament: Serving Modern Disciples by More Fully Reflecting the Writing Style of the Ancient Disciples, Copyright © 2011 Michael J.

Shifting Tides || Mona & Isa

TIMING: current. LOCATION: the woods! PARTIES: @poisonousdelights & @thunderstroked SUMMARY: mona runs into isa while trying to find her way out of the woods that seem to be never ending. together, they run into a hunter who knows exactly what mona is. CONTENT: none.

How many entrances to the woods were there in this godforsaken town? How come every turn she took, the woods seemed ready to swallow her up? It was devastating, especially given how many traps were lingering, either seen or unseen. Unlike the last time she’d managed to find her way through the underbrush, she was more careful this time. At least these woods were unfamiliar– she was far from where she’d started. The fox wandered forward, and she was starting to get hungry, and really she just wanted to go home. But as if in some film about comedic timing, everything seemed to thwart her advances to doing just that. 

The fox stayed still as the sound of leaves crunching beneath feet echoed. She was barely into the trail, just on the outside of it– she could still see the parking lot, the number of houses that lined the trail entrance. And then she saw her, an unrecognizable face. It was too late to hide, she realized. The other girl had already caught a glimpse of her. She stared at the girl, hackles rising slightly, challenging her to step closer. If she were to be called Regina again, or shoved into some small twisted metal thing, she was going to be pissed. 

______

She hated being cooped up in her apartment most days. It was, for the lack of a better word, a dump but it was all she could afford by herself so Isa always found herself looking for things to do outside. It was a good thing she loved the outdoors so much or else she would be screwed. That day she’d felt like going for a run but halfway through she’d decided that a trip through the woods might be beneficial. If she could find a cryptid and take it to Maggie, her best friend would be over the moon. It was something she did often, always keeping an eye out for one of the coveted creatures, especially when she was in her other form. 

A two tailed and discolored fox was not on Maggie’s list of cryptids though, at least not as far as Isa’s memory was concerned. As soon as she’d spotted the animal, she slowed her movements until she’d come to a stop, eyes roaming over the tails with curiosity. Not a cryptid but still so interesting to her. It was clearly scared though and the snake really didn’t want to deal with a mad fox trying to bite her but she wanted so badly for it to calm down and trust her. She’d always been that person willing to make friends with a wild animal if she could regardless of that fear of an attack.

So, she slowly crouched down to get as close to its eye line as she could, trying to emanate a very calm energy. “Hi beautiful…it’s okay, I’m not going to hurt you.” Her voice had dropped to a lower tone as Isa held out a hand, palm up and open, in hopes that it wouldn’t sink its teeth into her. She started to click her tongue, not knowing if that would help or aggravate it more but feeling the instinct to keep it up until she spoke again. “I just want to be friends, that’s all.”

______

It was interesting to her that every single time somebody came across a fox of her stature, their immediate reaction was to coo at her as if she were some baby. It was better than the alternative, though, and she knew it. The fox could be running instead, could be fending for her life. Instead, she was dealing with the majority of those who just seemed to be confused by her visuals. It didn’t seem like this person recognized her to be anything other than a minutely deformed fox. 

The fox watched the girl carefully, gaze slipping past her to see if anyone might be behind her, but there was nothing. It was just the two of them, and whatever else lived near. She thought back to the woman who called her Regina, how she’d been stupid enough to get scooped up, and while she didn’t want that to happen again, she figured she had a better chance of escaping than before– though she had managed it. 

The fox took a small step forward, paw digging into the dirt, tails straight up behind her. She had her abilities still, at least, and so if she needed to use them, she would. She took a careful step forward, nose twitching in response to the noise that the girl made. Maybe she could get a free ride back to where she needed– she could possibly possess this girl, guide her to where she needed to go. But it’d been so long since she had tried, and she wasn’t keen on getting stuck both in body, or in her fox form, so she opted for approaching the human in a friendly manner, still carefully watching her. 

______

To Isa’s amazement, it seemed the fox was ready to check her out. She stayed still as it stepped forward, understandably cautious, and her hand stayed in place so it could sniff her if it wanted. That was how it worked with dogs so this should work for a fox too…right? Her smile broadened when it got closer, the snake slowly turning her hand so that she could run gentle fingers through its fur. 

She was petting a fox. Nobody was going to believe that a two tailed fox was allowing her to pet it, giving her the trust that she had asked for, and not immediately attacking her hand. Isa could barely believe it herself. A breath of disbelief rang out around the quiet forest but she stayed as still as she could, her fingers still gently running over the animal while it continued to check her out. She didn’t want to push it too far.

She had been planning to let the fox sniff at her for a minute or two, let it familiarize itself with her, until her ears pricked up the sound of an unamused chuckle. Isa’s head snapped up to find a man staring at the two of them, his head tilted while he took them both in. Something was off about him, and the snake instinctively straightened up, tension filling her entire body. “Sweet, almost gave me a toothache. Lucky girl stumbling upon such a creature.” 

Her nose wrinkled at his words, immediately deciding she didn’t like this man and whatever he was saying didn’t matter to her. She kept a protective hand on the fox, not yet grabbing it because the lamia feared it would run off and this man would go after it with the way he was eyeing the animal. There was a gleam, a desire that she’d never seen before, and she could tell that he had bad intentions. “Maybe I was meant to…” Meant to keep it away from him and whatever plans were forming in his mind. She gently pulled the fox a little closer, naively hoping he would just pass them by and leave them be. 

______

For a moment, the fox thought that maybe she could get this girl to help her– communicate with her in a way she had tried with the animal control officer. But instead, there was another sound, another scent. Must, dirt, petrichor. The fox’s head swiveled, golden eyes narrowing in on the newcomer. The way he spoke about her instantly set off red flags, and her hackles rose in response. 

She was careful not to create electricity, as the girl still had one hand on her. A couple of years ago and the fox might think the two were working together, but she felt as though she was getting better at discerning these types of things. She hoped she was right, at least. The girl didn’t seem amused by the onlooker, and she felt herself being cooed forward, the feeling of a hand on her side. 

The fox watched the man intently, watching for any signs that he might advance. “You really have no clue what you’ve found, do you? I can show you.” He extended a hand and the fox had half a mind to send an orb flashing against it, but she waited, attempting to muster up some patience. “Let me show you what it really is.” The man took another step forward, unsheathing a blade from his belt. “Do you know how much a tail is worth? We can split it.” 

______

Of course he wouldn’t move along. If that were his intention he would have already done that. The dream of being left in peace with her new friend was shattered as he went on about what she’d found, her eyes locked on his every movement. ‘Oh, hell no’. The thought was abrupt as the man started to advance and unsheath a blade. It made Isa nervous, not only for herself, but for the poor creature next to her. She didn’t care what it was or how much it was worth, there was no excuse for cutting its tail off. “I don’t care what it is, you’re not touching it.” 

Her voice held more resolve than she felt, the snake glad that she sounded so confident as opposed to allowing the nerves twisting inside of her stomach to be voiced. She stood to her full height of five foot two, wishing so badly that it was night time and she could easily handle this man by looking into his eyes. But Isa stood her ground, moving in front of the fox to create a barrier between him and the beautiful animal. 

He wasn’t intimidated, another bark of laughter being her first clue, and he took another step towards the two of them. ‘You gotta be kidding me, girly.’ Her skin crawled at the nickname but Isa took another step forward, half hoping the fox would run off so neither of them could get their hands on it again. ‘Look, if you don’t want a piece of it, then that’s fine. But I do, so I’m gonna need you to step aside so I can do my job. Don’t make me tell you again.’

Isa felt herself bristle, the short fuse that her snake held starting to infiltrate her own mind and the girl actually hissed in the man’s direction causing him to stop in his tracks. That surprised him enough to keep his attention off the fox but now his sights were set on her. “Get away from us…don’t make me tell you again.”

______

The blade had the fox’s heart pounding– small, fragile, she felt uneasy. She stared up at the man, gold eyes narrowed in response to the audacity that the man put forward. The girl had other plans in mind– she was stepping forward, and the fox felt a little astonished by her bravery. If the roles were reversed, she wasn’t so sure she’d be so keen on putting herself between the endangered and the dangerous. That was the difference between them, though. 

This girl was nothing but a girl– quickly proven wrong by the noise that vibrated from her frame. It even caused the fox to stir, taking a step back in anticipation for what might erupt from the girl’s frame. There was nothing, though, but the man continued to stare at them, gaze now lingering on the girl. 

“You’re not what you seem, are you?” His words reverberated in the fox’s skull. She had had enough– what if he tried to hurt her savior now? Lack of desire to die be damned– the fox sprang forward, an orb of hot light shooting from her tail as it hit the man square in the chest. Another shot forward, this one aimed at the hand that held the knife. It fell to the floor as the man yowled in pain, his hand now pressed to his chest. Electricity crackled over the fox’s frame as she stomped her feet into the ground, baring her teeth. Her heart hammered in her chest, and in the back of her mind she knew that she might come to regret these actions, but she couldn’t just let the girl get hurt on her behalf. 

______

She was prepared for a fight, the man’s words clearly showing Isa that he wasn’t backing down either. Now he wanted her as well as the fox but in her mind he wouldn’t be able to take two more steps before she allowed her inner animal to take over. Cute clothes be damned. Maybe it was time to start taking her mentor's advice. Humans were nothing but trouble that could be handled with one bite of her unhinged jaw if she really wanted and he was the perfect specimen to try this out on. Never had she considered the teachings before, never had she wanted to sink her teeth into human flesh, but her anger was being fueled by the viper inside. It was a good thing she hadn’t eaten in a little while.

But before she’d fully made the decision to take this man’s life, eyes now the slits of the viper’s, something unexpected drew her attention. Heat hit the man square in the chest, the flash of light causing her to close her eyes as she turned her head away. She changed them back to normal before they blinked open, dots flashing in front of her vision until they cleared and showed Isa the fox now surrounded by what looked like little bolts of electricity. “Woah…” So she wasn't the only one with special abilities here, huh? If only Maggie could see this now.

She looked back to the vile man as he grunted, noticing that his weapon was on the ground while he tried to shake off the pain. It wouldn’t be long before he was ready to go after them again when the split second decision was made. Isa ran forward, sliding through the leaves to grab the knife (thank you soccer) before springing back to her feet, narrowly avoiding the man grabbing her by her shirt's collar. ‘You don’t know what you’re doing, little girl. Why don’t you give that back to me and we can talk this out.’ Her eyes rolled, Isa holding out the knife as a warning. “Looks to me like you’re the one who was bested by a little fox.” She could have sworn he growled at her but she didn’t care. They had the upper hand right now. 

“If you uh…you know, get rid of that lighting I can get you out of here.” The words were meant for the fox but she was still staring at the guy who seemed ready to charge them both. His face was purple with anger, or pain, which Isa couldn’t tell nor did she care. “But you’ll have to be okay with me carrying you.”

______

The fox watched as the girl sprang forward, leaves scattering in her wake as she grabbed the knife from the ground. She was ready to send another blast towards the man if he so much as reached for her, but she slipped through his grip easily. He spoke, and the fox’s ears flattened as she exposed more teeth, a warning sign to shut his mouth. It was especially clear to her now that he knew she could understand him, because something shifted in his expression. Maybe he was just some idiot who didn’t know what he was getting himself into– had seen her photo on a board and thought to himself that he’d get money, or maybe he really was a ranger. She wasn’t sure, but her attention shifted from him to the girl as she spoke. 

She wanted to carry her? The fox was surprised by that, especially considering she’d just shot fire at the man– coiled and blue. She didn’t necessarily need this girl’s help any longer, but something told her not to leave her here– what if the man had other means? Another weapon? The fox relaxed, the electricity quickly dissipating, as if being turned off with a switch. She took a careful step back, committing the man’s face to memory. She’d find him again, make Inge haunt him. If he weren’t a hunter, then he’d have no idea what was happening. If he were, then at least they’d be able to be wary of him. The fox considered letting it just remain as that– the man on the ground without his knife, but she sent another ball of fox fire at his ankle, burning it through the cuff of his jeans. He wouldn’t be able to follow them anytime soon. As he screamed in pain, the fox trotted over to where the girl was, standing as some kind of protective barrier. 

______

Eyes flitting back and forth between the bastard and the fox, Isa had to stifle a giggle when the fox sent another blast the man's way. It was clear as to why the animal did it, it wanted to make sure he couldn’t come after them, but the extra blow was still amusing to her. This was a smart creature, it thought like a person more than an animal, and for a brief moment Isa wondered if maybe a human was in there somewhere. Apparently there were different types of shifters after all, could this possibly be another? If so, how fucking cool it must be to be able to shoot lighting from your tail. She was a little jealous since all she could do was bite people and make them rot…not even mentioning the stone thing.

When the fox was in front of her, some sort of protective wave coming from her, Isa smiled and squatted down to be as level with it as she could be. It was tiny after all. ‘’I think me and you could be good friends. Thank you for helping me out, little one.” How weird would it have been if she reached out and scratched under its chin. If it was human the lamia imagined it wouldn’t be too pleased with the action. Isa would have bitten someone for it if it were her. So, she kept her hands to herself for the moment. “We have to take care of each other, you know? People like this…I don’t understand them.” 

As she finished her sentence there was another crack of a branch making her head snap up. Was there somebody else coming? Did this man have friends with him? “Okay, we should probably get out of here. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not take down another asshole today. One is usually my limit.”

______

The girl was talking and the fox forced her attention back towards her, knowing well enough that the man was in pain and focused on the burning flesh of his ankle now. She wished she could communicate with the girl, let her know that if she saw the man again to immediately let her know, but there was little she could actually do. The fox chirped in response at her words, unaware of how true they were. To her, the girl was a girl, and nothing else. 

The fox’s ears rotated slightly at the sound of a newcomer. She tilted her head to the wind, inhaling the scent of something new– cyprus and cigarette smoke. Not unlike the man that laid before them, now mixed with singed flesh. Her hackles rose as she bared her teeth, but the girl was already on it, giving them a course of action. 

As the fox went to lead the way in the opposite direction of the noise, shouting ensued. The individual who was fast approaching was looking for the man, and so the fox looked up at the girl, fear palpable. They needed to separate– staying together would only bring more harm than good. The footsteps were closer now, and the fox shot off in the direction furthest from where they were arriving, and she hoped the girl would do the same.

Red White And Royal Blue OC Masterlist

Name: Abigail Claremont-Diaz

Story: Miss Americana

Face claim:  Zion Moreno

Love Interest: Bea Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

For all that Abigail Claremont-Diaz wanted to build a name for herself outside of being First Daughter Of The United States, she also couldn’t imagine her life without the past four years.  Without her daily commute from the White House to the GWU campus, without the secret service always a step behind her, without the beautiful, bustling streets of DC to call her own.  She missed Texas, it would always hold a special place in her heart, but she couldn’t imagine life if she’d never left.  She certainly couldn’t imagine her life if she’d never started dating the Prince of Wales — although did it count as dating if her eyes always strayed to his sister?  Abi had spent four years building her perfect life under the microscope of Capitol Hill but, much like a £75,000 wedding cake, her twin brother’s lack of impulse control and obsession with her boyfriend had to send it crashing down around her. 

Name: Caroline Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

Story: Sweet Caroline

Face claim:  Sabrina Carpenter

Love Interest: Oliver Cochrane

Caroline Henrietta Alexandria Theresa Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.  Princess of Wales.  Britain’s sweetheart, the tragic princess.  If her life were her own, maybe Caroline could have followed her dreams, could have followed her father’s footsteps and become an actress, the first female James Bond.  But her life belonged to crown and country, and Caroline’s free will only extended far enough to choose which media smile to use on any given day.  Caroline Fox had dreams, hopes, ambitions, secrets.  Princess Caroline was just a doll, a piece in her grandmother’s never ending game of chess.  This time, Caroline’s job was simple: to clean up the mess caused by her older brother and her dearest friend, to make the so-called Cakegate look like a silly misstep between best friends and not like an international incident that could determine the fate of American politics for the next four years and beyond.  In theory, it shouldn’t have been too hard, after all, Henry and Alex were quite possibly her two favourite people in the world, and Caroline had never not been able to charm her way out of trouble.  The only problem is that her grandmother’s plan involves a staging a relationship and eventually an engagement, possibly even another royal wedding.  The only problem is that this relationship would be between Caroline herself and Alex Claremont-Diaz.  The only problem is that Caroline knows that Henry has been in love with Alex for the past four years.

Name: Cate Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

Story: Diamond Eyes

Face claim: Liz Gillies

Love Interest: June Claremont-Diaz & Nora Holleran

Name: Eileen Eisner

Story: Come On Eileen

Face claim: Lily Collins

Name: Isabel Luna

Story: We Built This City

Face claim: Ana De Armas

Frankly, the entire goddamn country should feel grateful that Isabel Luna loves Alex Claremont-Diaz as much as she does.  She wouldn’t be stepping back from her beloved — and well earned, no nepotism required — job as her older brother’s chief of staff to babysit just any First Child for the entire year leading up to Ellen’s reelection.  But it was Alex.  Alex, who she’d known for pretty much ever.  Alex, who she’d comforted through his first heartbreak.  Who she’d given his very first shot of tequila, who she’d mentored when they worked together on Raf’s campaign.  Alex, who was her brother just as much as Rafael.  And it was for Ellen — and maybe Isa wasn’t as close to her as she was to Oscar, but Ellen had always been an inspiration to her and she would do whatever it took to ensure that she beat Richards in the election.  Besides, she’d been babysitting Alex since he was a pubescent little shit, she was probably the most qualified person to wrangle him around for the next year.  Honestly, preventing another Cakegate level international incident should have been easy; if only Alex hadn’t decided to fall in love - and bed - with the Prince of Wales.

Name: Kennedy Quinlan

Story: Winding Roads

Face claim: Ashley Benson

Kennedy Quinlan couldn’t remember a time before Alex Claremont-Diaz.  The three musketeers, along with their other best friend Liam, they’d been inseparable since pre-school.  For well over a decade, they had done everything together.  And yes, Kennedy had known that graduation would change everything, but she hadn’t expected this.  With Ellen winning her election, Alex no longer had a reason to return to Austin.  With Kennedy on the road, following wherever the rodeo circuit led, she never had time to visit either boy.  And Liam, well, she wasn’t sure what had happened, but he had completely ghosted.  Without her best friends to ground her, Kennedy lost herself in her horses.  No other life, no other interests, being “Rodeo Barbie” had become her life, not just her job.  That was all that she was.  Until the fall.Injured, untethered, with no idea who or what she wanted to be if she wasn’t a rodeo star, Kennedy had no idea what was supposed to come next.  Until Mama Ellen offered her an internship under Zahra Bankston, a home within the White House, and some semblance of direction in her life.  But Kennedy is no longer the girl she’d once been, and Alex is no longer the boy she once knew, and one way or another, the impending election was going to force Kennedy to figure out who exactly she is.

Name: London Carter

Story: Closer To Fine

Face claim: Emily Alyn Lind

London Carter had plans.  She had plans for graduating Magna Cum Laude with a double major in political science and international relations.  She had plans to work on Ellen Claremont’s reelection campaign, to help make another four years of Claremont-Holleran a reality.  She had plans for winning her senate seat, and for becoming Secretary of State.  She had plans to be Vice President in the Claremont-Diaz Carter administration of 2032-2040 alongside her best friend, FSOTUS Alex Claremont-Diaz.  Her plans did not include Alex causing an international incident with the Prince Of England.  Her plans also did not include having to use every bit of her upcoming international relations degree to clean up his mess.  And her plans definitely did not include Alex falling in love with said Prince Of England, especially in the middle of Ellen’s reelection.

Name: Lucy Kent

Story: Lucy In The Sky

Face claim:  Maude Apatow

Name: Madison Richards

Story: All-American Bitch

Face claim: Madelaine Petsch

Aside from her general and entirely justified dislike for her father, Madison Richards had several other issues with his plan for her to – in his words – seduce the youngest British prince and steal the trade deal out from President Claremont.  To start, judging by the fact that he had never once attempted to sneak a glance down her dresses, Madison suspected that she was far from Prince Henry’s type.  Furthermore, his plan failed to consider the fact that she had spent the whole campaign trail so far sneaking around for clandestine hookups with Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son himself.   And, last but certainly not least, her father still had no idea that she had spent her entire time in rehab sleeping with the Prince’s older sister.  But then again, getting herself in close quarters with the Prince and Princess of Wales and the First Son could only help in her own plan: to do whatever it takes to stop her father from getting elected.

Name: Margaret Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

Story: Heartbreak Princess

Face claim:  Florence Pugh

Love Interest: Pez Ojonjo

Where Henry was the Prince Of England’s Hearts, Margaret had always been the Heartbreak Princess.  Filling the void left by her father’s death with a string of meaningless flings, Margaret had never been anything but completely transparent about what she was looking for: a distraction.  Not love, never love, but a way to pass the time in between Bea’s breakdowns, Mary’s lectures, and trying to draw Henry out of his shell.  But when Henry falls into a cake, and a torrid romance, with the American First Son, Margaret finds herself swept up in an international whirlwind as she tries desperately to protect her twin brother’s heart — only to realize that in doing so, she may have left her own heart far more open than she’d ever intended.

Name: Oliver Cochrane

Story: Sweet Caroline

Face claim: Thomas Doherty

Love Interest: Caroline Fox

[nightshadehoney]

Some people are intepreting the family group chat to mean that Marianne and Greg’s dad are still in regular amicable contact, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Hirsch family group chat. It wasn’t “our son Goebbels”, after all. 

So not only is Greg in regular contact with his father, there are enough other Hirsches around  to make up a group chat and he’s in somewhat regular contact with all of them too? 

This is pretty wild to me given the content of the entire show. Does Greg have other cousins? A second grandfather? 

To me the fundamental Greg moment isa)  when Ewan gives him the ultimatum to quit Waystar or be disinherited, and Greg doesn’t go through with quitting because Logan tells Greg that he likes him. I’ve seen people complain about this a lot--that it either doesn’t make sense or is evidence that Greg is very, very stupid (he is only a little stupid). But  in my view, Greg does this for one of two reasons: 

A) Deep down, on some level, Greg knows that he is never going to see that money, not even if he does exactly what Ewan wants him to do for the rest of his life. Ewan witheld his wealth from him when he was alive and he would continue to withold it when died because to give him something would mean that he approved of Greg somehow, and Greg knowns that he doesn’t. 

B) Greg is genuinely so desperate for any sort of affection that Logan merely saying that he liked him--not loved him, liked him-- is enough to make him give up a quarter of a billion dollars.  

Either option is profoundly sad. This man is so emotionally malnourished that he is relying on Logan Roy for warmth. 

That viewers were lead to believe that Greg’s father is not part of his life makes him easy to slot in to the Roy family drama.You don’t have to think about what othe familial relationships he might have that might shape how he interacts with all this Roy shit. The Roys are his family--his only family--and if he wants any familial bonds with anyone it has to be from them. Otherwise, why not use leverage your current six figure position into a six figure position somewhere else and fuck off instead of trying to get along with your cousins who hate you? It’s not like anybody but Tom would even care that he didn’t work for Waystar anymore.     

You can be a fundamentally absent father and still text your child three times a day to complain to him about working for Fox News, but what is everyone else’s deal? Greg is in the groupchat. I can’t imagine they’re too nice to him as they presumably don’t object to his own father calling him a nazi, but can you imagine the Roys including Greg in something like this. Does he ever spend holidays with them? Is he actually not in the group chat and he somehow finds out about them shit talking him second hand somehow? We’ll have to wonder about Greg’s Gay Dad forever and now we have to wonder about all these people too.

@headstrongblake sent: GRAB / STYXX AND O Styxxtavia - Specialsverse

Long legs carry her swiftly to the door, but his longer ones catch up quickly, an equally long arm reaching out to encircle her wrist with strong, unyielding fingers. “Octavia, stop.” 

She tried to yank her arm out of his grip. Her enhanced strength would have slingshotted a normal person into a wall. Styxx however remained unfazed, jolting slightly with the force of her tug but his feet remained planted. let GO. 

“No. Not until you calm down.” Her eyes are wild and he’s not surprised. None of the recruits are built to be lab rats- it’s part of the reason they were chosen to be here at all. He knows she wonders- all of the recruits do- why he and Nick and Isidora and the other tributes seem to not be alarmed by the the four walls of the cage they find themselves in. Pretty cages, with outdoor space and calming-colored walls and an ever-full lunchroom…. but cages all the same. The several layers of doors to the outside world don’t open unless you have the right retinal to scan, which none of them do. 

He knows Fox figured out the code that goes with the scanning process months ago, even before they had started getting augmented in small ways- better endurance, stronger muscles, better hearing and eyesight. 

They- those in charge- left their nerve endings in tact though, left the kids' bones brittle and fragile. Styxx (and he’s sure Nick and Isa) have heard horror stories, they know that those in charge will wait until the last second to change how much pain the young adults can take. 

They need to be able to inflict pain to keep them in line. 

Fox found the code, but for lack of plucking out someone’s eye, they had no way to use it. Not that that little piece of logic seemed able to stop Octavia as she struggled to get the last few paces to start beating on the door in an attempt to force it open. He knew it wouldn’t work- whoever built this prison knew the types of monsters they’d be creating in it- they wouldn’t leave vulnerabilites. “You are going to get yourself in trouble, do you hear me?” he hissed. “This isn’t like out there- here trouble isnt a slap on the wrist, its them digging into your head and your memories and figuring out what is going to break you apart the most. And then they do it.” He’s still holding her wrist, tightly enough that she’ll have a bruise for a few days, in the shape of his fingers. 

But better bruised by him than broken by them. 

I am getting the fuck OUT of here. 

He pulled her toward him, close enough that he could lower his voice, close enough that she was practically against his chest and his lips were almost touching her hair. He’s sure they have cameras or mics or something hidden in every crevice of every room and he doesn’t want them hearing. “You will. But you have to be patient, Octavia the Younger. You won’t get out by banging on doors. You get out by playing their rules, letting them sharpen you into a weapon, and letting them walk you right out the door. If you want to get out of here without being in a body bag, that is your only option, do you understand me?” He lets her go and she falls a step back away from him.

Tears brimmed over her lashes, longing to be back with her brother. they’re never going to let us leave, styxx. 

“They will.” There’s nothing but confidence in his tone and it seems to bolster her slightly. “When they’re satisfied.” He pins her with a look. “So show them your teeth, but don’t bite. Point your rage at whatever target they tell you. Play the game, and they’ll willingly let you out.” He doesn’t use the word ‘free’. It’s deliberate. They won’t be free, just out. Of course, if rumors are to be believed, Octavia would have the option to leave, to go off on her own and leave the others, but it will be so much harder for her then, once they’re interconnected, her and whatever unit she ends up in. 

He prays it’s his. She may die anywhere else. 

Her shoulders slump with resignation, and she nods, defeated. He feels his own muscles relaxing the slightest, not enough for a camera to notice. He’s about to speak when she glances up and before his eyes can follow hers, a thin, lithe figure drops from the ceiling at Styxx’s side, warm brown eyes looking to Octavia in disappointment and trust. 

so no escape then? Fox asks. 

Octavia shakes her head, looking to Styxx with the same trust Fox has in her. not yet. biding our time, i guess. 

Fox makes a show of sighing, then shrugs. fine. then i’m hungry. 

“We haven’t missed lunch yet, I’m sure Nicklas and Louis are waiting for you both.” The three turn to move further back into the facility, a large tanned hand on each girl’s back as though to herd them the way of safety.

Mini Fanfic #1051: Death's New Fan (Super Smash Bros Ultimate)

9:45 p.m. Outside of the Smash Pin Movie Theater.......

Isabelle: (Happily Walks Out of the Theater woth the Star Wolf Trio) I can't thank you enough for taking us here for our outing tonight, Panther. That new Puss in Boots movie was such a thrill to watch!~

Leon: (Simply Nodded in Agreement) I agree. The animation was stellar and the story was a sight to behold. (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) Though, it has got to me wondering what the presucessor look in comparison......

Panther: (Shrugs) It's average. Not the worst of the worst, but nowhere near as spectacular as it's sequel. (Smiles Softly) Still, I'm down for another movie night if all of you wants to see that one for yourselves.

Isabelle: Sounds like a plan to me. (,Turns to her Boyfriend Next to Her) What do you think, Wolfie?

Wolf: (Eyes Widened and Twitches in Silence).........

Isabelle: (Frowns in Worry) Wolfie? What's wrong? Did you not like the movie?

Panther: (Forms a Playful Smirk on his Face) Oh I wouldn't worry about our captain there, Isa. He's been like this every time Death is on the screen.

Leon: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on his Face) And i believe there's a high chance of that boy never shutting up about him in a matter of-

Wolf: HOLY SHIT DEATH IS SO FUCKING COOL!!!!

Leon: (Sighs in Defeat While Facepalming Himself) And so it begins.....

Wolf: (Smiles Excitedly) Did any of you took a good look at that guy!? The black torn cloak he wears, those menacing red eyes, razor sharp teeth, the complete fear factor he brings to each scenes he appears in that beautiful, eerily whistle every time he walks in the goddamn room, and those.....dual, sticked together hook things he fights with. I don't what they're called, but I sure as hell wanna use it!

Leon: Wolf, you're terrible at using melee weapons.

Wolf: (Scoffs While Shrugs) Then I'll have to train myself using each one till my knees are dropped. Speaking of which...(Turbs to Panther) Panther, do you still git that Basic Español book in your room? I'mma learn me some Spanish tonight!

Isabelle let's out a cute snort before getting into a giggling fit.

Wolf: (Snickers at his Girlfriend Beside Him) What got you laughing, Izzy?

Isabelle: Oh nothing~ Just admiring your cuteness display right now~

Wolf: (Eyes Widened Before Looking Away While Blushing) I-Izzy, come on. I not that cute......

Panther: Boss, is that a hint blushing I see?-

Wolf: NO! I'm just....(Looks Away From his Team) Feeling hot right now is all....

Leon: It's cold outside.

Wolf: (Rolls his Eyes) Oh great observation there, Powalski. Remind me to head to the store so I can buy you a pack of cookies!

Leon: Your sarcasm is more blatant than your apparent cutesy side.

Wolf: (Flips Off at Leon) Screw you, man.

Isabelle: (Pouts at the Chameleon) Now, Leon, be nice.. Wolfie's not cute.

Wolf: (Smirks Proudly) Exactly! Tell 'em, Izzy.

Isabelle: (Stands on her Tippy Toes and Happily Scratches Behind Wolf's Ear) He's the most Goodest Boi ever!~ Yes he is, yes he is~

Wolf: (Starts Blushing Again) I take it back, I take it all back! I ain't that good, Izzy!

Panther: (Starts Smirking at his Leader) Oh really?~ Than how come Leon and I can see your tail wagging more swiftly the more she scratches you?

Wolf: (Glares at Panther) Ear scratches are the perfect methods to use for comfort and stress relief, everyone knows that Caroso!!

Isabelle: (Gently Rubs Wolf's Arm) Now, Wolfie, calm down. There's no need for you to get upset right now.

???: Yeah, you don't want your Good Boi status to get revoked now, do ya?

Wolf: (Groans While Pinching his Noss at a Very Familiar Voice Ringing in his Ear) Of all the people that have to see me like this- (Takes a Deep Breath Before Rolling his Eyes in Annoyance) What are you doing here, McCloud?

Fox: Me and the ladies were giving the new Puss in Boots movie a watch. (Crosses his Arms With Smug Smirk on his Face) Though, I couldn't help but notice that you're cute side is showing. Could it be that great, merciless Star Wolf is starting to lose his edge? Hm. Has a nice ring to it now that I think about.

Wolf: ('Tch') Bitch please. You're the LAST person to go around talking about who's losing edge when you've been losing yours a long time ago.

Fox: What are you talking about?I never lost my edge.

Wolf: Yeah, you have. (Chuckles Evilly) And I am so willing to give you all the reasons why that is.

Fox: (Scoffs While Crossing his Arms) Like you can find any.....

Wolf: No need. I have plenty. For starters, you let a space Bounty Hunter call you 'Foxy' on a daily basis.

Fox: Samus and I been friends since day one! Of course, I'd let her call me that eventually. No matter how much I hated it...

Wolf: Oh and speaking of which, let's not forget the fact that you had to keep watching over some old lady's kid. Fox McCloud, the "Fearless" leader of Star Fox, relegated to a babysitter. (Smirk Grew Wider) Now THAT has a nicer ring to it.

Fox: (Sighs While Pinching his Nose) Okay, first off, how does having the responsibility of watching over someone's kid derails my status in any capacity? (Glares at Wolf) And second, don't insult the Strongest Woman in the World like that!

Isabelle: (Lightly Glares at her Boyfriend) Yeah, Wolfie. She looks wonderful for her age.

Wolf: Yeah, I'll admit, she's a looker. (Went Back to Smirking) Doesn't change the fact that she's a 60-year old has been.

Fox: That's not even close to being her actual age.....

Samus: (Joins Up the Group) Yo, losers. (Rest her Arm on Top of Fox's Head) What's going on out here?

Fox: ('Sigh') Wolf and I are having another banter again.

Isabelle: (Starts Twiddling her Paws a Tad Bit Nervously) And he might of....sort of.....kind of....called your girlfriend old.....

Samus: (Slowly Turns to Wolf With a Glare of her Own) You dick. You do know she can kick your ass, right?

Wolf: ('Scoffs') She can try, but I doubt she'll lamd a hit on m-

Before Wolf can even finish that sentence, Chun-Li comes straight out of nowhere and delivers a flying kick to his chest, sending him directly towards a nearby pole thats knock him down on the ground. The merciless bounty hunter groans in pain as he sees the "old" lady he insulted glares down on him.

Chun-Li: How's THAT an old has been? Also, I am only fifty something years old and that is ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!! ('Hmph') (Crosses her Arms as She Walks and Turns Away From Wolf)

Li-Fen: (Happily Cheers For her Mother) Way a go, mommy!~ Whooooo!~

Samus: (Crosses her Arms With a Satisfied Smirk on her Face) What did I say?~

Isabelle: (Shrugs) You did sort of warned him. In a way.

Panther: ('Whistle') Now, that wjat I call an impressive impressive kick. And from a bella dama nonetheless~

Samus: (Points at Panther) Watch it, play boy. This bella dama is already taken.

Chun-Li: (Hugs Samus Arm With a Big Smile on her Face as Two, Fox and the Giggling Li-Fen Walks Back Home) Happily so!~

Samus: I'll text you when we get back to the apartment, Izzy.

Isabelle: (Waves Goodbye to Samus and the Others) 'Kay! Have a safe walk back! (Makes her Way to an Ass Kicked Wolf) You okay, Wolfie?

Wolf: (Gets Back Uo From the Ground While Grunting) Yeah....(Starts Stretching his Back Straight) I've had worse hits given to me in the past. But damn does she hits like a moving truck!.....

Isabelle: Well, she isn't called the "Strongest Woman Alive" for nothing, you know?

Wolf: (Sighs While Scratching the Back Back of his Head and Rolling his Eyes Once More) Now you tell me. Ow.

Isabelle: How about we head back to the mansion and watch that first Puss in Boots Panther? I'll make you freshly baked cookies~

Wolf: (Smiles a Little as Him and Isabelle Starts Joining the Rest of the Star Wolf Team, Walking Back Home) Yeah. I'd like that. You should make extras for Leon for being observating asshole.

Leon: (Rolls his Eyes) Such a comedian you are, boy. And yet I wasn't the one who provoked a woman into kicking you into a nearby pole, now was I?

Wolf: Don't get smart with me, Leon.

Leon: You started the smart talk first. Or did that kick caused damage to your memory as well.

Wolf: And people wondered where I got this snarky attitude from. You're a terrible influence.

Leon: You developed that attitude on your own perfectly, boy. And my teachings hasn't gotten you killed yet now, did it?

Panther: He got you there, boss.

Wolf: Shut up, Panther.

Isabelle: ('Sigh') Knock it off already, you guys....

SPPDM 20th Commentary Part B: The End of the Combo Rangers

(Art by Carnal Oficial)

Ooh, clickbait title. Did I get you there? This past week, we've veered away from the Sea Princesses to focus on the Combo Rangers, introduce a few of the story's "villains" and show love to the fandom. With the series itself constantly focusing on the main girls, you'll forgive me if they aren't featured prominently in this part.

Check out the story here:

Join the Discord servers as well to be notified for when each part has been fully published!

The events of this part continue from the tie-in story Combo Rangers: Operation Wagan, the ending of which is recounted in Chapter 6. Both this part and the tie-in are adapted from the anti-Japanese war drama Anti-Japanese Heroes (抗日奇俠), also known by its actual English title Super Hero. The tie-in adapts episodes 27 (the latter half) to 31, while this part continues from 32 to 35 (the end of the series). A part of episode 2 was adapted as well to introduce the Nokizaru task force.

Part B introduces the bulk of the Liamverse's OCs, most of which were created by Liamasterink or others associated with the renaissance. Like the characters introduced by Fabio Yabu, most of them have no more than a couple of mentions along with a bunch of background appearances, however there are some who do make regular appearances such as King Marcos, Nico and Veto's friends as we will see in the next part. A great deal of the characters have also been detailed in my Into the Liamverse series, which are based off of the character descriptions posted by Liamasterink and others on their YouTube Community pages (an idea which I suggested and continue to encourage, by the way).

Combo Rangers was originally created in 1998 by Fabio Yabu as a webcomic before it went to print in the early 2000s under JBC. After being cancelled by Panini Comics in 2003, it was briefly revived for a graphic novel trilogy published by JBC between 2013 and 2017. I won't go into a broad overview of the series because I've already gone through it previously in my reviews of the trilogy:

Vol 1: We Are Heroes

Vol 2: We Are Humans

Vol 3: We Are Equals

Why did I pick Isa to be the main nemesis of the Combo Rangers and separate her from the rest of the Young Achiever Generals (aka the original cast)? Well, I explained those motivations in Chapter 6 where the black goop incident in A Shadow in the Water was the beginning of her impetus into anti-Drylander extremism, paralleling the militarism of Japan pre-WWII. Why am I so obsessed with highlighting the war crimes of the Imperial Japanese Army? Because fuck their hoity-toity attitudes towards foreigners. As I said recently, that's not xenophobia, that's bigotry with extra steps.

In the Combo Rangers graphic novels, Fox's nemesis was Deck, but in this story, his nemesis is Isa even though her beef is also with the rest of the Combo Rangers. Tati's nemesis is Nico even though that only really came about for their counterparts in the final arc of the original drama. King Marcos' counterpart also acted as a nemesis for Lisa in the original drama as the latter's counterpart was shown to have been raped by the former in a flashback, but this has been omitted or glossed over for this story. As such, Lisa's counterpart is rather distant from the rest of the group for most of the series.

Tati's counterpart was a Peking opera nandan (男旦), so you see him in parts of the series dressing in drag and speaking in falsetto. The main group also had a marksman with them until he died halfway into the series. If I were to give him a counterpart, I would call him Luke or Davi.

There's an implication that the rest of the original series happened before the events of Operation Wagan, so if you want to know more about that, feel free to watch it.

Isa and Nico's first meeting is briefly mentioned in that they met when they joined the war effort. Liamasterink hasn't done a character description for him or Nicole yet, nor has he detailed anything about how they met. The closest thing available is a 3-part mini-series showing Caton's beef with Nico after teasing Isa in the sandpit.

Over to the Kongming Army's officers now and yes, there are reasons why they have been named the way they are. Liam Pitara (a rather Maori surname if I say so myself) is named for Liamasterink and Mauricio Hernandez is named for MJZD Gaming, the two being the forerunners of the renaissance even though the latter's interest apparently died out in favour of retro gaming. I am aware that the latter's name is similar to that of Maurico, the Sea Urchin Prince, but I didn't want to call him Marco because it's too similar to King Marcos, another character I know and another character I intend to homage later.

The Drylander boy who was featured in his own saga is featured under the name Daniel Giovanny Camielez, combining the name I gave him for my personal project and the name that Liamasterink gave him because he either didn't read my posts or he just decided to go his own way with him just as he did Jaune, Goldina and Flourison (Valeria, Alexia and Matias). Kelvin Galvarro is Daniel's friend in my personal project while Nikki Robinson is named for Zhuge Qiao's actress, Nikki Zhou. Windy Adams is named after Kamen Rider Poseidon's user from my personal project (who is also based on the titular character of The Windy Letters) and Marcia Provencao is named after Miss Marla's original name, Professora Márcia.

The mass of namedropped Drylander officers and soldiers throughout Chapter 8 and 9 have all been named after various individuals, whether they were part of the renaissance, characters in my personal project (original or from other works) or some other category, like fans from way back when I was writing the Koei Warriors Rant Series and Dub Logistics. Similar homages can also be seen in my other prequel tie-in, The Investigation.

Yes, of course Fabio Yabu is in this as Fabio Yabusaki, and before you say, "bUt yOu cAn't jUsT PuT ReAl pEoPlE In yOuR StOrY WiThOuT AsKiNg pErMiSsIoN FiRsT," I should inform you that Fabio Yabu self-inserted himself into Combo Rangers first, naming a planet and a race of beings after himself. If anyone else has a problem with being included then frankly, they can just cope harder because while I've taken due diligence to maintain privacy where applicable, it doesn't mean I have anything personal against them. Sometimes I just don't have the time to get approval for everything, but if it is imperative that your homage name be changed for reasons of significant concern, make contact with me on here, Facebook or Discord and we can discuss arrangements.

That being said, there may also be some people within the renaissance that haven't been mentioned, so if this is you, contact me and leave a name along with whatever socials you've been posting/talking about Sea Princesses on and I can arrange for you to be homaged. This offer closes at the end of Part F in four weeks' time (16 November) and I reserve the right to make the final decision regarding someone's inclusion in the story.

Other homages I would like to acknowledge are Higor Williams and his friends created by Higor P. Matos and Rainbow LaRousse Nijijima created by Princess Rainbow Network/Julx-Julz, who also drew top-tier fanarts of the characters before the renaissance occurred.

Chapter 10 where the Kongming Army fights the Young Achiever Generals is an original chapter that follows on the events of Chapter 8/9 for Parker and his forces. It would also be the only chapter in this part to feature most of the main cast as this entire part's focus was on the Combo Rangers and King Marcos' division. This chapter foreshadows events between the Salacians and Parker's generals that would be addressed in later parts, including the Drylander boy (Daniel Camielez) saga from the animated series.

Parker's rematch with the ten princes and princesses (minus Socita, Hugo and Sirilo) from Chapter 2 is ripped from the scene of Ip Man fighting ten karate black belts from the first Ip Man movie. My highlight has to be the part where Parker fights Polvina, Ester, Tubarina and Marcello at the same time because it really shows the powerscaling and main character energy between them when four Salacians couldn't beat a single Drylander. And then Veto, the last man standing, gets punched in the head repeatedly, highlighting his weakness as the heir to the Shark Kingdom that contributes to his character development.

And then, once the Drylanders achieve their bittersweet victory against the Salacians, it becomes meaningless when the Shark King uses Time Vent to rewind time and change the events of the past 4-5 days. Why the hell did I do that? The Shark King's motivations will become clear in the following parts.

Even though Part B was The End of the Combo Rangers, time has changed and that title isn't applicable anymore. We take a break from Parker and the Drylanders for now as we move to Part C, In Subversion. See you for the next one.

Salacia's opinions are split as the anti-war faction led by the Turtle King turns on the pro-war faction led by the Shark King. The Whale King discovers something shocking about himself as Seretao sets out to expose the Shark King's plans. Friendships will be tested in Part C, In Subversion.
