#gfdi shes so pretty

[weregreatatcrime]

Anyways *deep breath* thanks @omalahsocs for making me think SO MUCH about this bcz of the prompt during stream. It's very late and I'm tired but I want to get the concepts down before I lay down and presumably forget all about it

So heres some Trans Girl Noctis ideas to ruminate on

I've said it before I'll say it again: her sculpted shoulders are one of her FAVORITE parts of herself and she is PERMANENTLY salty it means struggling to find dresses and blouses that fit

(Thanks to omalah) A? Corset?? You're galaxy brained

Corsets are just Gender it doesn't matter what the gender IS they're just Gender and wonderful. Tiss isn't sure about them at first but then she tries one on and it's like. A back brace that pushes her pecs up. She looks hot as FUCK

I'm probably going to draw this at some point gfdi

All of the chocobros are supportive in their own ways but absolutely nothing compared to how feral Prompto is. He hears a misgender and he is about to Throw Down. He hears "His Majesty" and Prompto is pulling out a gun

He goes through all of Tiss's mail and crosses out everything addressed Incorrectly with a sort of manic glee that Ignis doesn't even dare stop him

Ignis is so supportive in an Ignis way. He does All the research. He's that ally that knows more about trans experiences through research than most trans people do from personal experience. While they can't exactly do much for her transition medically on the road and technically being fugitives (and she's not overly concerned either) he still goes over every single potential option she has just so she Knows

Ignis is very annoyed that they actually Do Not Have The Funds to help Noctis like, socially transition in terms of clothing and jewelry and presentation. Tiss has to inform him that she is still perfectly happy dressing masc on the regular because they are, in fact, war fugitives and no, she does NOT need a new wardrobe

He still finds little ways to help her feel a little fem. Ignis is the one who starts to paint her nails for her and will on occasion just hand her a hair clip or small bits of jewelry she's not sure how he got

If Ignis ever gets the chance to find Noctis feminine formal ware he just about has a heart attack because instead of her usual grumping and groaning about how stupid formal wear is she is actually very tentatively excited. She definitely wants to wear the pretty dresses, Iggy. She doesn't UNDERSTAND a lot about fashion and shit but going over dozens of pretty dresses is a million times funner than going over dozens of suits.

She still gets bored after like an hour. But that's an hour of Noctis going through CLOTHES. Ignis is taking so many notes

Gladio isn't very like outwardly supportive or anything but he is so good at being the scariest thing in the room. He will Loom behind her and make people think twice about talking shit

He is the one who has to nearly tackle Prompto from trying to attack people at the SLIGHTEST hint of bigotry

He's not good at fancy shit. But while they're on the road, living out of the armiger and clothes bought from thrift stores and hunter depots, Gladio helps resize dresses and shirts and everything that won't fit her

He's not the one who'll give a nice pep talk or comfort her when she's down but he WILL be the first to pull her aside and ask very seriously if she needs a hug

Being the one and only one of them with a living female family member, Gladio also is the resident "Iris does X girly thing, if that helps?"

The day that Prompto and Noctis wear matching skirts Gladio calls them fucking ridiculous, ruffles their hair, and threatens to lock them in a closet together

Hils Watches The Spirealm - Ep 19

Well, I'm halfway through now. Current thoughts: just as gay as I expected, and also way more scary than I expected.

If that terrifying doll shows up again... 😭

Uh, this isn't your first door. And people died in the last one you did with them

Okay so the girl who was terrible, but not quite as terrible as her partner is dead. Hope stabby nurse goes after him next

Yep, there he goes, You were the worst, my dude. I will not miss you at all.

Wait, what? How is he still alive???

Pretty sure he already does that

Good thing someone put her water bottle in the body bag with her body so they could figure this out. So I'm guessing the hospital director's ghost is jumping from body to body to stop the nurse finding him

No please don't go there it's scary and I don't like it

Okay NOW he's dead

And I guess the hospital director ghost has jumped from him into her

I know this is a BL, which aren't generally great with female characters, but it's annoying that her role seem to mostly be to scream, ask stupid questions so the boys can tell her that she's stupid, and to wait around while the boys do all the investigating.

Well this is fucking disgusting

I love that Ruan Lanzhu looks totally chill about a man bursting out of a dead woman's body, and Ling Jiushi (rightfully) is freaking out

I love that this is clearly a stuntman in a wig

Aww there we go. She's there to provide the emotional empathy

What kind of hospital comes with a self-destruct mechanism??

GFDI A CLIFFHANGER???

[Magi rewatch] Episode 7: His Name Is Sinbad [Part 1]

Oh, yeah, it was definitely the right call. I already feel less exhausted having to watch this. Should've done this from the beginning, but, well, a Pole is smart after a mistake, not before it.

Me for, like, half of this goddamn year. Hot as balls. For how long, actually? October or November. Jesus. I think October, cuz November/December I was on-and-off sick. What a fucking time to be alive.

The characters tend to look kinda eh at times, but man, are the backgrounds cool.

A bunch of characters nobody cares about, but in the manga they thought they'd be able to get people to join them in Balbadd, but here they're just. Going there, I guess.

He does look good.

Also SQUIRREL. And a BIRD

She looks good in here.

"You don't have to thank either of us! Alibaba did it, because he's a kind person!" Like, you're completely right, but also gets me how much Aladdin trusts and believes in Alibaba. And, the thing is, he isn't wrong to do so - Magi can kind of read people's Rukh, so Aladdin gets the kind of person Alibaba is on instinct. Still, F.

Also, gfdi, why does it all look so pretty. The colors get me, too.

What a character introduction. What a legend.

It kind of reminds me. You guys know, Magi is like one of the series that's the dearest to my heart. One of the few. Which is why I get so critical of it. And it's hilarious when I think about the fact, that this AMV is the reason I watched it in the first place. I'm not kidding.

"Why are you freaking out? :("

Also, gdi. Magi rewired sth in my brain, and whenever I hear Daisuke Ono I immediately think about Sinbad, it'll never stop. Did you know Jing Yuan from Honkai: Star Rail has Daisuke Ono as VA? And Wriothesley from Genshin Impact. I'm still processing that, lol. Other one I'll always recognize bc of Magi is Kaji Yuki (Alibaba). Funnily enough, he voices one of my fav Pokemon character - Clemont. Imagine my surprise. Man, maybe I do have a type.

I love low quality Magi.

He looks normal in the anime. Kinda nostalgic, good. Also, the wording seems to be a bit different, but mostly the sentiment remains.

Agh, look how excited he is to meet another adventurer! You get it, mister, you get it!

What if Aladdin became Sinbad's Magi, hmm.

There's some yt channel that posts Kimetsu no Yaiba videos, what ifs, and then offers like three scenarios. Lastly it was what if Muzan was a Demon Slayer. Can't help but think abt it whenever I consider some what if.

She smelled Hakuryuu's cooking.

It really looks nice. From afar.

Huh, in the anime they don't mention how various races mingle here.

Paper money. Something that Sinbad notices. Good characterization moment + good hint at what the porblem might be. Neat.

Reminded me abt one of the fics that I'm writing. These goddamn towers. Two fics, actually. Though one of them is just recalling the events from the other.

Anyway, back to the ep, I do think it's cool. Lots of show don't tell.

Yeah. In the previous arc we've heard that Balbadd wasn't doing well, and now we get to see it.

Down with the monarchy.

This entire scene is still hilarious.

"We're going to have to help him out, Masrur." "Damn."

I love Ja'far. What a pro.

Since I had to delete it from the chapter post bc of the photo limit. Here. Morgiana & Masrur noticing each other.

The Sinbad experience.

Pffff

The sound he makes, lmao. "Ahhhhh". He's so not getting paid enough to deal with this bs.

Also, sad: we don't have Masrur helping him :/ That was such a nice moment : (

White eyes. You killed him, Sinbad. You killed your future husband.

"You're Sinbad, the King of Sindria!"

[pineyw00dsshesquatch]

Ah, a trope along the lines of 'born sexy yesterday's the Fifth Element Leeloo's, but Gurren Lagann's Mia is pretty spot on cuz she comes out of a crate in a dump.

I would be washed up on the beach. Idk if the container is organic like the pod choice or a construction from an underwater society, but you'll find me on the beach. Maybe a swamp, I just need the presence of water lmao

Tropes like this TAKE ME OUT. They fill me with conflict for loving a character like Leeloo to hating her narrative limitations. The movie "Bubble" is a Little Mermaid retelling that just SUFFERS from this trope in an otherwise beautiful film. The way the film presents the trope so sincerely with so much conviction just suuuucks. There's a lot of other stuff in "Bubble" that makes it a cataclysm of lost potential, but that's a different GD essay.

I fucking LOVE mermaid media so I see this shit way too much. Occasionally like the K-drama "Legend of the Blue Sea" it's brief enough and the character gets to be A PERSON enough that I can get over it, but gfdi I'm sick of this.

[im-totally-not-an-alien-2]

Danny always wondered what the strings on his finger meant. He had asked Jazz about it when he was younger and she had no idea what he was talking about. She couldn't even see the strings even though he could see them plain as day.

He made the mistake of asking his mother exactly once and never made that mistake again. Jazz eventually found something about it online, stating that there was a legend about the red string of fate connecting the pinky fingers of destined loves. Danny wondered what it meant if he had three.

Being Phantom changed things. For one, the stings would react oddly whenever he had gone ghost. He could feel what he could only guess were the emotions of the people on the other end of the string. They seemed to be reacting to his "death(s)" every time he changed forms and presumably had similar reactions when he "revived".

One seemed to be very worried about him, another frantic in a search for answers and the third was just deeply intrigued and almost...eager? Huh.

/////

Nightwing hated dealing with Klarion, a sentiment the rest of the JL and YJ teams agreed on.

It was even worse since they were in Gotham and the bats were working together to fight him off. No one was sure what he wanted but he seemed to be having a little too much fun battling them.

It was only after they entered the basement this old dilapidated church that he took note of the chanting. -he blamed the concussion for his lack of awareness- As it turns out, Klarion was attracted to Gotham by this one cult preforming ancient magics from this weirdly glowing spellbook they had found. No idea why he was so interested in it but It couldn't be for anything good.

Red Robin came bursting into the room -late to the party but forgiven considering the circumstances- followed closely behind by a shock of blond hair, and for a moment he thought it was Steph, -stupid concussion- but quickly realized it was Bernard, one of Tim's soulmates and the only one he had found so far. His still very CIVILIAN soulmate. "Ugh. Can today get any worse?" Appearently he should have kept quiet because Klarion turned to him wearing a grin like razorwire and said, "I'm glad you asked!" Before sending a burst of red magic from his hand down to where the cultists were fearfully chanting. The explosion was deafening and where the people once stood was now a green and red portal...

/////////

By the time he turned sixteen Danny had gotten pretty good at this ghost thing. Making allies out of some of his old Rouges, making pacts with ghost countries and negotiating treaties between others, many have declared him the new Ghost Prince, regardless of what he had to say on the matter.

Of course the moment he starts to have any self confidence his faith is shaken by some odd supernatural occurrence coming completely out of left field. In this case it was an odd red and green portal opening up right in front of him. He knows he shouldn't, but the strings were leading right into it and he just couldn't resist.

He popped though.

Danny knew he had made some kind of mistake when he saw what he swore was an actual devil, complete with suit, tie and horns. And one of his strings lead directly to him. "You know, being put in a casket is actually looking pretty good right about now."

Devil guy seemed delighted and actually laughed at his humor instead of giving a sarcastic "ha-ha" or concerned sideways glances. Maybe this guy was alright after all.

/////////

Tim was freaking out. One of his soulmates was freaking Klarion! Klarion! Oh God, why??? And who, or with his current luck- what was that glowy guy supposed to be??? Oh no he was also his soulmate??? Wtf?!

Bernard was of no help whatsoever as he introduced himself to both of them using his real name. GFDI Bernard! One of us has to have survival instincts, he was sure of it.

Aka: Au where Tim Drake, Bernard Dowd, Klarion Bleak and Daniel Fenton all meet on the battlefield and discover they're soulmates. Klarion then kidnaps everyone, leaving Nightwing alone and injured with backup on the way.

Swimming hcs

Karkat: horrible at chicken, he’s too short to actually hit people and he’s terrified about falling. Managed to learn how to swim in six minutes and nobody knows how. Can be deadly silent when Marco Polo comes from all the droid scares he had, once just stood in the corner of the pool and Dave couldn’t find him for an hour.

Dave: good at chicken, will throw hands with anyone who try’s to win. He and John constantly find ways to cheat at Marco Polo. Got John to find karkat for him after an hour of searching. Probably threw his ice cream at someone by accident, gfdi Dave this is why we can’t have nice things. Karkat gives him his out of pity

John: cheats at Marco Polo but still cannot manage to find Karkat. He turns into wind so he can dash around the pool and tag people. Did chicken once and fell and hit his head on the concrete, refuses to play it again. Got dared to eat Dave’s floor ice cream for two dollars and did it, terezi calls him a floor licker. “Stfu terezi you were the one who dared me” tries to pull peoples feet and gets kicked in the face.

Jade: doggy paddles everywhere but still manages to be faster then everyone but Jake. Didn’t know you were supposed to wear bathing suits and just jumps In. She and Dave kill at chicken but her and Jake are unstoppable together, they’ve never lost a single match. Jade is s t r o n k, looks like she could kill a man by looking at him but she won’t.

Rose: doesn’t swim but wears a matching outfit with Kanaya and roxy that spelt fuck off please when put together. She wore the fuck part. Was goaded Into playing chicken and did it with John against terezi and Dave. She killed them on sight but when Jake and jade came against them John promptly got knocked onto the fucking concrete and everyone thought he was dead. Bought a squiddles themed sun hat and drew over it.

Aradia: doesn’t go in the water. She knows how to swim but she just doesn’t feel like it. Will grab pebbles and toss them at whoever’s Marco just to watch them freak out.

Tavros: doesn’t swim because of his mecha legs but his sits by the pool anyways. He and Gamzee did chicken and when tav fell in Equius nearly came for his head. Gets a water type fidusmon and floats across the pool until Vriska shoves him in. Equius Comes for Vriskas head.

Sollux: pulled a gamer move and didn’t touch the water, used his Psionics to make a whirlpool and then dragged eridan into it. Throws pebbles at John and eridan cause it’s funny

Nepeta: the water turns brown when she touches it cause she hasn’t taken a bath in years. Hangs out with Equius at the end of the pool and kills anyone who fucks with him on sight. Makes shipping charts out of the pebbles sollux and Aradia throw. Equius and her have a tea party together and invite Aradia and Karkat to it, they try to play eachothers wingman and fail miserably. At least their tea is good :,33

Kayana: didn’t swim either, wore the off part of the swim suits. Stole roses squidle hat and wore it all day. Bought rose some flowers. She and rose ate some donuts together and had a lovely time

Terezi: she went behind John and slapped his ass so hard that he turned into wind. Didn’t give John his two dollars when he ate the floor ice cream and he pushed her in the pool. She sat in the pool with Vriska and they got to play chicken with terezi’s cane. They slap jade in the face to win and they make her cry. Jake almost beats the shit out of them. Vriska says that whoever’s angry at them can fight them but literally everyone starts gearing up to beat her and terezi up. Vriska almost shits her pants and terezi apologizes for them. Jade gets to slap them both to make it equal but she doesn’t cause she’s nice.

Vriska: is glad that jade didn’t kick the shit out of them. Stole roses martini but turns out she can’t handle her alcohol for shit. Almost passed out in the water but John got her out of there. Wears a nic cage themed bathing suit and John is so jealous

Equius: sits with nepeta and plans to beat up anyone who hits on her. He keeps breaking teacups, nepeta keeps pulling out more. He refuses to talk about the party incident with Aradia.

Gamzee: his face paint doesn’t even wash off. He and Tavros are decent at chicken, he’s nervous about Tavros falling in. Freezes sopor into popsicles and c r o n c h e s on them all day long.

Eridan: turns out eridan can’t swim well. It doesn’t really come up until sollux drags him into that whirlpool and he gets stuck at the bottom of the pool. He can breathe, he’s just kinda.....stuck down there. Feferi has to drag him out. He tries to play it off like he was joking about being stuck at the bottom but no one believes him. Sollux begrudgingly apologizes and eridan almost cries.

Feferi: is the one who made sollux apologize. She races jade and everyone is terrified because they both look like they’re going to throw hands. Jade wins by a damn inch. They high-five and congratulate eachother.

Jane: has a cute ass one piece. Dave makes a joke about johns hot mom. She’s not real good at swimming. She and roxy are a decent chicken team. She tried to help eridan out of the bottom of the pool but he yelled at her. She refers to him as the fish bitch. Made the snacks for everyone.

Roxy: wore the please part of the outfit. She and John are real good at chicken. She, John, and terezi decided to ditch for a minute to go flying. She and John picked up terezi and flew around happily. Everyone else joined, none god tiers got carried around. They eventually land and turns out terezi isn’t too good with heights. She vomits and they have to give her some water. The rest of the day she watched movies and played chicken with her friends.

Jake: is wayyyyy too nervous around all these people. He loves hanging out with his friends but he really doesn’t know half the people here. He and jade swim around to try and defuse some stress. John tried to grab his foot but he panicked and screamed for him to go away. He and dirk moved inside so he could calm down. He comes out two minutes later and apologizes to John. John is Lowkey scared of him because of how tall he is. He spends the rest of the time trying to convince Roxy that he and dirk didn’t do anything weird.

Dirk: is nervous around the pool. He thinks it’s way too cold and doesn’t want to go in. Roxy pushed him in and he refuses to get out because spite. He and Jake are pretty good at chicken but dirk can’t really hold Jake up on his shoulders. He and Jake had a bonding moment and talked about why Jake was so nervous and why he freaked out. More tears were shed then they both would like to admit. Got revenge on roxy. He started a food fight and got a frozen sopor popsicle to the eye. He’s lucky his stupid glasses didn’t break

[sleppythesilly]

I love the shots in the end here.

=D

NICE! Jinbae(weirdly there is confusion on the spelling of his name?) gets introduced here too, can't wait for 1000 chapters until he joins the ship.

LMAO

Nojiko just appears and immediately insults Usopp, this is because she is flawless and infallible.

SHE'S TALKING ABOUT NAMI OH LORRRRD

Fuck you Usopp, L take, tattoos are cool. Also why is Nami the only one with tattoos anyway?

Scumbag racist eugenicist. Die.

And Zoro immediately sees through the lie. Love that in this scene Nami's face is covered in shading lines and Zoro's face is clear because now he understands the situation.

I think this is the slimiest trick Zoro has ever pulled off and I LOVE it.

Oda is always cooking with characters designs. (unless their women after the timeskip but we have to live with that I guess)

This is actually pretty crazy once you start thinking he's just enforcing the same heavenly tribute the celestial dragons do. It's weird perverted form of "justice" in Arlongs eyes. Except instead of the perpetrators for his peoples treatment he's just trampling on innocents.

Good gracious. Idk what that hair is but it still works for me.

I still find it nuts the the WHOLE village just went along with Nami's plan.

Okay but like, if Arlong actually understands money and this is an isolated community that doesn't seem to produce much for trade with sailors. How are they meant to get more money for tribute? Like Berries are distributed by the government I assume right? But that means he's basically enforcing a tax, in a small ass community that can't generate more wealth because his tax doesn't lead to developing the community...wait a minute did Oda intend to make me say taxation is theft? GFDI

Love this so much, can't wait to see you get shot tho Hatchan.

Hachi, you're such an idiot how are you alive?

Nvm how are any of you alive?

THAT'S SO FREAKING LOW DUD.

Poor Zoro

Arlong is so lucky I'm not canonically in one piece or now he'd be torn asunder by my unending rage.

Rage averted, for now.

Night night Luffy

Boys stop fighting we know you love each other.

Common weekly occurrence.

FUCKING LMAO

So true Sanji, so fucking true.

Aight this will be a one piece thread, sorry to everyone following me who doesn't care.

Alvida you're lucky you never learned how wrong you are.

Yeah Luffy has that effect on people.

[avistella]

A quick rundown of how my playthrough of Code Vein('s demo) went last night

I spent a long time making this character. She's pretty. I like her. Cool, new OC, let's go.

Holy shit, that lag

Whoa whoa whoa, WHY IS THE CAMERA SO SENSITIVE???

I'm-- I'm holding Shift and pressing all the function keys, why isn't it working? I've been stuck on this tutorial screen for five minutes, wtf am I supposed to do?

Oh, I had to press the other Shift key. Well that’s dumb

ALRIGHT, TIME TO PLAY

Holy shit, this lag is actually really bad wtf

The camera is still SUPER SENSITIVE HOW DO I CHANGE IT???

Oh, there's the settings. Welp, time to set everything to the lowest amount and hope the game functions more smoothly

HUZZAH, WE BACK IN BUSINESS

OH FUCKING HELL, I'M GONNA DIE. --holy shit, I'm still alive somehow.

*GASP* THERE HE IS. THERE'S LOUIS. OH FUCK, HE LOOKS SO COOL-- OH FUCK, MY HEART, HE LOOKS SO COOL LEANING AGAINST THE WALL LIKE THAT AND PICKING UP HIS SWORD AGAIN NOW THAT I'M CLOSER-- AHAHAHA FUCKING FUCK, I-- FUCK.

Yes, please, let's team up so that I don't die also i love you

OOH, SHINY THING-- *turns back around* OH SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK-- WHEN DID THAT THING GET HERE? WAIT. SHIT, LOUIS IS FIGHTING IT ALONE. OH FUCK, HOLD ON, LEMME HELP oh no wait, you got it. Kay, cool. That’s cool.

Alright, things are proceeding swimmiNGLYOHSHITOHFUCK--!!! YOU CAN'T HAVE MONSTERS DROP FROM THE CEILING, THAT'S CHEATING

Weeelp, I died again. I'm done for tonight.

The Great Ex-Aid Rewatch: SPECIAL EDITION! Ex-Aid “Tricks”, Kamen Rider Genm

…Oh, no, I’m stuck with tv-nihon subs again, since apparently nobody else got around to subbing the Genm specials. Welp.

Like, I do want to say, right off the bat, that I’m grateful that they sub pretty much everything, but the formatting tends to sleave… a lot to be desired.

Anyway, here we go, with the awful legend rider forms and the first time we see that bright yellow should never, ever be put onto the Ex-Aid suit.

Ever.

––

We open in Dan Kuroto’s secondary lair, panning over the first fourteen Heisei Legend Rider Gashats. I am struck by the realization that I like the colors they used for these a whole lot more than the Ridewatches.

Kuroto’s also just got a Ganbarazing game cabinet in here, implying that the game is a joint project between Genm Corp and Bandai in-universe. This implication is only further enforced when he holds up three unlabeled gashats in front of the cabinet, data streams from the screen into them, and they gain labels of their own.

Introducing the Legend Rider Gashats “Magic the Wizard,” “Toukenden Gaim,” and “Full Throttle Drive.”

Legend Rider Gashat names are weird.

Kuroto says that he finally has them – gashats with the powers of legends.

…Okay, so this implies that you went and got battle data from the other 14 Heisei Riders, but I’m just saying that might have been a little difficult in a lot of cases. You know, seeing as Godai doesn’t transform because of the risk of going monstery, Kenzaki is basically in hiding while wandering the world most of the time, nobody ever knows where Tsukasa is, and Takumi is just flat out dead at the moment.

(Right here is where, up until this week, I would have thanked Zi-O for fixing two of these issues, but nooooo.)

(gfdi Sougo.)

––

After the title screen, Emu and Asuna are walking through a park, where apparently Kuroto’s called them out to meet.

…Actually, now I kind of wonder why half of the time, early-series Poppy refers to Kuroto as ‘Genm’s CEO’. Straight up using those terms, or ‘chief,’ or similar. Later on, she’ll use his name, but… like, she knows who he is. She’s not unfriendly with him. I know it’s probably some sort of formality thing that I’m not picking up on, but it still feels weird.

Anyway, he’s called them up to get back the Kaigan Ghost gashat. They’re walking, right up until a Gekitotsu Robots Collabos bugster steps out into view. Emu, being an absolute sweetheart, asks Takeru to lend him his power as he readies the gashat.

…I still don’t like the legend rider helmets.

There’s a distinct problem in his choice of gashat, however. Namely, he’s using a squishy mage form against a heavily armored robot, meaning his punches have less than no effect, and he gets sent flying just by being sideswiped by not-Gatton’s fist.

Kuroto runs up, asking if Emu’s alright.

No, no he’s not, but he’s also more concerned with making sure you stay safe, because as far as he knows, you can’t do jack to defend yourself.

Kuroto looks ‘taken aback’ by the sight of not-Gatton, and tells them that the gashat in it’s head is proto-gekitotsu robots, one of the gashats that Dr Pac-man had stolen, and asks them to get it back for him.

Emu, being Emu, immediately agrees, and runs off to go fight again, despite having just gotten knocked on his ass. Kuroto hastily opens the breifcase he’s carrying, and tosses Emu the Full Throttle Drive gashat.

Said Gashat, when activated, briefly summons an energy Tridoron out of the Game Start screen, which promptly goes and hits not-Gatton. This car also promptly disappears off screen.

(At this point, my torrent of a higher-quality version of this special finishes, and I get some much cleaner visuals. Looks like I’d been using the lower-res one, and this is much better. Also, some of the wording has been fixed up. Emu’d said that he’d made a ‘newb mistake’ in his choice of using Ghost in the DVD version, but in this one he says a ‘huge mistake.’ Much better.)

I’d like the Drive armor, because the general aesthetic converts far better into an Ex-Aid suit than Ghost’s does, but… there’s that stupid eyepiece overlapping with the eyes on the Drive helmet. This is the only problem I have with the anime eyes on the gamer suits – that the frames stick around in the legend forms, cutting into the rest of the visuals. That’s it.

As Emu starts wailing on not-Gatton with his shiny new Steering Sword, Kuroto admits that he was collecting battle data during the fight against Dr. Pac-man. We have a brief shot of him just. Lurking around a column and watching Shinnosukes fight against Robol’s minions, with a notebook in hand. Because that’s totally how he usually collects battle data. Sure.

Whatever. Anyway, Emu thinks that’s really impressive, beats on not-Gatton some more, and readies a finisher. I can’t even get mad at TV-Nihon’s typesetting habits for making the announcement a nigh-illegible red with white pinstripes, because they’re just matching what the show already had on screen, so this one’s on Toei. (Toei had a better font choice, though.)

Also, the background for the attack title card is a road, with a pair of Type Speed tires in the corners. The energy Tridoron makes a re-appearance to let Emu do Shinnosukes base finisher, and not-Gatton gets the Proto Gekitotsu Robots gashat knocked out of him.

Impressed by Drive’s power, Emu tosses the proto gashat back to Kuroto, and Asuna reminds himt hat he still needs to actually finish off the bugster.

Whoops. That warning came a little late, because the Collabos shoves the Proto Giri Giri Chambara into it’s forehead slot, and immediately goes to slice Asuna and Kuroto.

…Okay, I did not remember this – Kuroto shouts for her to look out, shoves her out of the way, and gets his back slashed in her place. As in, he’s knocked to the ground. And bleeding.

I’m pretty sure that’s for real on his part, I don’t think Kuroto expected his minion to do actually attack him. He does, however, still manage to pass Emu the Toukenden Gaim gashat, saying that since the enemy’s using a katana, this would be a better choice.

He’s right, of course, and I’m pretty sure this is, at least in part, him trying to stick to the plan, despite the ‘holy shit I am very injured right now’ factor.

The Gaim start screen opens a Helheim crack – my gaim-watching instincts immediately recoil – and the Orange Arms… well, orange drops onto Emu’s head, as robo-fruit are wont to do, at the same time as the level up screen passes by. So, he’s using both transformations here! That’s really neat!

Now please put that back because I do not want any more Helheim here than necessary thanks.

Gaim’s suit doesn’t translate nearly as well as Drives does. The flattened version of the eyes and chest piece just… they don’t do it for me. It looks like a cheap imitation. I mean, the non-chest and helmet parts of the armor work, but those… urgh. No.

Emu winds up chasing not-Kaiden down a path to another section of the park. Hah. Get it? Because part of Kouta’s armor announcement is ‘The flowered path’? I’ll see myself out.

Asuna comments to Kuroto that Emu’s doing amazing – except she’s not talking to him, because Kuroto’s taken off.

He’s leaning on the corner between a wall and holding wall for a grassy area, breathing very heavily and holding his side. He’s. He’s genuinely injured. And he’s pissed. I mean, he was sliced on the back, and he’s holding his side, but I can’t even say that it’s because he’s actually holding his driver, because he pulls that out with his other hand.

Also, uh, Rider Wiki? I have you open for easier access to names… and I don’t think ‘ruffled, but well’ is an accurate descriptor of Kuroto’s state when he hands over the Gaim gashat. Not if how he’s panting and pausing while he’s saying that that it’s time to enter the final stage of data collection is any indication.

Harutos very textured helmet, much like Kouta’s, does not translate well to the flattened image of the Ex-Aid helmets.

––

Looks like Emu and not-Kaiden have made it to another plaza, where Emu has since swapped out Kouta’s sword for his own, likely so he can actually use a proper sword-based finisher.

He wipes out not-Kaiden, and properly, this time. The proto Giri Giri Chambara gashat clatters to the ground, and the Collabos bugster appears to have finally been destroyed. Emu, cleraly remembering that there were three protogashats stolen, immediatley starts looking around, saying that “if there was a second, then there’ll be a third… Or not.”

He’s proven… sort of right, when a black and purple suit with a red and black longcoat steps into view.

“Aw, come on! You’ve got to be kidding me!”

The not-yet-named Black Ex-Aid doesn’t say anything, even after Emu realizes that “hey, you’re that asshole!” No, he just starts laying a beatdown, with lots of very Wizard-y kicks and arm strikes. Nice touch, having him use Haruto’s fighting style.

Kuroto starts up a finisher, to which Emu seems resigned to his fate of being about to take a Rider Kick to the face.

Getting knocked out of his transformation, Emu goes tumbling to the ground, the three legend rider gashats he’d been carrying clattering away.

Kuroto picks them up, switching back to his usual Proto Mighty Action X form. He activates all four gashats in turn, tossing them to the ground as their areas start generating. In his creepy, we-wish-you-had-stayed-silent disguised voice, he says that he’s obtained all the data, and the lights from the four gashats stream into one pale blue one.

Emu, picking himself up off, asks what that gashat is.

Black Ex-Aid doesn’t dignify him with an answer, instead going over to the still not defeated Collabos bugster, who is basically sprawled out on the ground. He kicks it into a sitting position, and sticks the newly-created Kamen Rider Ganbarazing gashat into it’s forehead.

This is about fifty percent payback for cutting him, I just know it. “You went off script, and now you get what you deserve. And what you deserve is an untested gashat taking control of your body, and summoning a game start screen that our local genius gamer has never seen before.”

…I really hope he picked up one of those regeneration energy items before he came out to kick ass and take data.

Anyway. Three ‘riders’ jump out of the screen before it goes blank. No, Emu, these aren’t actually them. These are Game World data copies, and they care not for your morals or history.

…Uh. The, uh. The hips of the Double suit have seen much better days. Those joint sections are completely falling apart. This isn’t like the issues with Takeru’s driver being grungy, or Kenzaki’s belt being really worn out during Zi-O, or the numerous dents in Decade’s armor. This is… it’s sad and it makes me sad.

The three ‘Riders’ advance menacingly on the very much not transformed Emu, before…

Before a figure in a white labcoat and yellow helmet shoves them away, and stands over Emu.

Kuroto: Wait, what.

Emu: Wait, what? Dr. Pac-Man?!

Kuroto asks what he just did.

Dr. Pac-Man just silently holds up three gashats, for Pac-man, Xevious, and Family Stadium.

See you next game.

––

Or, see you right now, because I’m going right into the second part!

Dr. Pac-Man momentarily stares down the three ‘Riders’, before pulling out his bugvisor – on the opposite arm from in the film – and firing, providing a distraction for him and Emu to get away.

Kuroto growls.

––

Dr. Pac-Man is basically dragging Emu by the arm to a warehouse as they run, before they come to a stop.

Emu asks, hurriedly, what Dr. Pac-Man is doing here. They defeated him!

“I have no idea how, mind you, but I’ve been assured that you were very much re-killed, and I’m willing to chalk Takeru’s reluctance to say anything up to his not quite remembering either after his near-death experience.”

Suddenly, a wild Taiga appears, punching directly for Dr. Pac-Man’s face… which is at about the same level as Emu’s, so when he dodges, Emu’s forced to leap out of the way, landing in a sprawled heap on the ground.

“So, you’re back from hell? We’ll just have to keep sending you back.”

“Wait, hang on!” Emu scrambles to his feet. “He did save me, this time!”

“That’s impossible.” Hiiro emerges from yet another column. Seriously, how did you two even know to be here? “I don’t know who that is, but we’ll just have to cut him out.”

The black Ex-Aid approaches, flanked by three figures whose suits have seen much better days.

Taiga, rather justifiably, assumes that they’re a new strain of bugsters. Emu quickyl puts a stop to that train of thought, saying that they’re fellow Kamen Riders… although they are being controlled as game characters.

Taiga’s still taking them out, though.

Dr. Pac-Man seems to approve, and tosses each of the three a Classic Namco Gashat. This pisses Kuroto right the hell off, and he pursues the now running Dr. Pac-man.

As the three inspect the new Gashats, they… well, Taiga admits they sure seem like the real deal.

Emu’s excited, because he’s a nerd and way too nice for all of this, and says that he told them Dr. Pac-Man was a good guy now!

EMU. Emu, you need to learn not to take strange gashats from people who are really, really ominous. I know this advice will go unheeded, but really. Survival instincts. You need them. Badly.

Hiiro agrees with me that your huge grin is entirely baseless, and as the imitation riders prepare to attack, the three real riders transform.

There’s some brief fighting, noticeably not in the matchups that they’ll be having soon, before Ex-Aid pulls out his new gashat. He winds up giving a quick description of Pac-Man while he’s basically got not-Fourze’s arm locked, and not-Fourze is trying to break loose from his grip.

Nice.

Brave shoves not-Double away, and describes Family Stadium, an old NES baseball game. …Okay, sorry, old Famicom baseball game, because this is in Japan. Also, I have to wonder how Hiiro of all people would know literally anything about video game history, much less that Famista basically set the standard for baseball games.

Snipe palm-strikes not-OOO off of him, and… says ‘let me try this.’ Are. Are the Namco Gashats somehow giving them these lines?! I mean, there’s no way they don’t have a heads-up display in their helmets, so… is this info just streaming from the activated gashats to the riders who would otherwise have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about? Because that is the only way I can see Taiga knowing anything about Xevious, including the name of the ship you pilot.

So, all three start up their newest gashats. Oddly, Pac-Man is the only one with an individualized name – Pac-Adventure – and Xevious doesn’t even get a jingle beyond the driver just saying ‘Xevious.’

Emu and Hiiro both charge their opponents, while Taiga, who is once again wearing a plane, makes the logical decision and activates stage select.

––

Snipe, now in a forest-esque stage, proceeds to engage in combat with not-Fourze, via copious use of miniguns and fists.

I like the Xevious recolor of Jet Combat a lot better than regular Jet Combat. The colors aren’t nearly as awful. The blue goes a lot better with Snipes usual color scheme than the garish orange. There’s a little too much linework from the source material, but I can let it pass for the better color scheme.

––

Ex-Aid and not-Double are in one of the many, many factory fight locales. They charge at eachother, but Ex-Aid leaps over Double’s punch, and books it in another direction.

I. I don’t like the Pac-Man armor. It’s a yellow and orange recolor of the torso section of Gekitotsu Robots. Color-wise, neither of them work with the bright magenta of Ex-Aid’s suit. The dark red of Robots looks out of place, more-so in motion than in static images,while the garishly bright yellow is just. It’s bad alongside magenta. It just is. The orange boxing glove fists don’t work, either.

…Actually, are those gloves from Knock-Out Fighter? Let me check real quick…

Oh. No, no they’re not. They get re-used for Ex-Aid’s version of Knock-Out Fighter 2, though.

––

Famista apparently doesn’t just equip it’s user with new armor, it comes with its own battlefield, a bugster baseball team, and gave not-OOO a baseball bat.

…Let’s just not ask why Hiiro, of all people, knows how to play baseball, and instead focus on the little baseball decals that get added to the speaker system for Doremifa Beat.

The red and white of this upgrade doesn’t quite suit Braves cyan, but it’s far and away better than what Emu got. Also, the baseball cap/visor? It has an ‘N’ on it, for Namco.

Additionally, Hiiro is able to throw a baseball so hard that it caught fire and blasted the bugster mook catcher and umpire into the wall.

I am no longer going to question anything Famista Gamer does, because that was awesome.

––

Snipe and not-Fourze exchange some decent punches, before not-Fourze remembers that he has switches! Including a rocket, which he uses to get in the air.

Snipe immediately follows suit with his jetpack, and they begin an aerial dogfight between Snipes miniguns, and not-Fourze’s gatling powerup.

I’m just going to assume that these gashats are giving the riders info, because I really can’t see Taiga knowing what the names of weapons and such are in here for any other reason.

Not-Fourze is shot out of the sky.

––

Meanwhile, Ex-Aid is running for his life. Because right now, he’s Pac-Man, and Pac-Man is on the defensive for most of his game.

It’s a nice touch that when we see Emu and not-Double running through new sections of the factory, the dots that were in the game projection disappear. They managed to get this right in the maze scene in the film, too. Nice attention to detail.

Same attention to detail goes to the small gust of green-lit wind at one point when not-Double’s Cyclone half punches, and the purple effects when his Joker half tries to land a kick.

Unfortunately for not-Double, this is right about where Emu finally finds the power pellet, and is able to fight back. To great effect, at that.

(Come on Toei, those grunts don’t sound anything like Shotaro!)

––

Snipe has unlocked a targeting system, and isn’t giving not-Fourze a chance to get airborne again. After a sizable amount of gunfire, he finally relents and just goes into his devastating finisher.

You can practically see the ‘oh crap’ on not-Fourze’s face before he gets defeated.

––

Brave manages to get a Strike on not-OOO, via the pitch going fast enough to just go right by him…

And also hit the poor, abused bugster umpire in the crotch.

The umpire and catcher feel true fear as Hiiro readies his finisher, but not-OOO still tries to hit the ball. All three of them get launched bodily into the air and explode.

––

Emu relents on his beatdown of not-Double – I feel awful about the things that poor stunt suit has gone through – and starts up his finisher.

Said finisher summons an energy Pac-man around him, and he jumps onto poor, poor not-Double. Energy Pac-man then eats said false rider, leaving only an explosion behind.

Emu realizes what I hadn’t with the other two riders, and that’s that there’s no ‘Game Clear’ announcement.

––

Poppy warps to the still unresponsive collabos bugster, who is just standing stock still as the blank Ganbarizing is projected from the gashat.

She spends a fair amount of time trying to get any reaction from it, including shouting at it, poking at the screen, and punching him, with distinct metallic clangs.

The Ganbarizing gashat flickers back into color, and the collabos’s eyes light back up. It starts going on the flailing, ineffectual offensive, chasing after Poppy.

This is just sad.

Even more sad is that Ex-Aid, in his usual armor, does a flying hip-check to knock it away from her. She takes this opportunity to get out of there.

“Now, let’s just get this gashat out of there… What’s Ganbarazing- ohhh no that didn’t work, you’re still flailing around and trying to attack me.”

Emu manages to kick the poor, useless collabos bugster away before inserting the Ganbarizing Gashat into his Gashacon Breaker for a finisher. This summons a floating swarm of Heisei Rider emblems into the air.

I like these, actually. They’re not the usual plain black silhouettes that the emblems usually are – they’re all colored, and some of them have multiple colors, namely Hibiki, Double, OOO, and Ex-Aid. It’s a nice touch.

They all merge into a giant version of the Ganbarizing logo, which Emu strikes with his hammer to blast it towards the Collabos bugster.

(Now is that thing dead?!)

I think it’s a bit early for you to say ‘Game Clear,’ Emu, or for Poppy to be giving any congratulations. I mean, this was cool, but we still haven’t heard the announcement.

And yup, they both realize that, as well, just in time for the Ganbarizing Gashat to start shaking, and pull itself out of the finisher slot in Emu’s hammer. This is fine.

It then proceeds to float into the Game Start screen, which is still here for some reason. This is fine.

Drumbeats and bells can be heard as a silhouette approaches within the screen, and pulls out a pair of drumsticks.

––

As all of that is happening, Kuroto’s still been chasing Dr. Pac-Man. He manages to corner him against a chain-link fence, and demands to see who he is. Pulling off the helmet, he startles.

Dr. Pac-Man still doesn’t speak, and holds up a Taiko no Tatsujin gashat, conveniently blocking his face.

See you next game

…Wait, what?! I thought I had- shit, now I have to find the third part in this mess of files.

…Okay, I guess I kept the DVD version for a reason, and that would be that the third segment of this was never individually subbed? I guess?!

FINE. Lower res, DVD quality it is.

––

Okay, cutting back into the unified version, with its horrible artifacting around the text, the shadowy figure hops out of the Ganbarizing Screen, and Ex-Aid and Poppy are brought face to face with not-Hibiki.

Somehow, Emu knows who he is, presumably the same way that the other guys knew about games, because nobody ever sees Hibiki.

Poppy doesn’t stick around for any more explanation, and runs the heck out of there.

Emu complains that he wasn’t done yet, as Dr. Pac-man walks up. Emu asks what happened to the black Ex-Aid, but receives exactly zero answer. Instead, he receives the Taiko no Tatsujin gashat, and gives some information on that.

He starts the finisher right away.

How better to fight the Oni drummer rider, than to play a drumming game on Oni difficulty?

And with the Ex-Aid character skin for Don-Chan when he starts up TV-Size Excite, no less!

The duel winds up being not-Hibiki launching small fireballs, which Ex-Aid cancels out with strikes from his gashat-supplied drumsticks. Once the majority of Excite is done, he truly activates the finisher, and the notes he hits during the repeated chorus start to charge up fire of their own… which grows to a massive fireball, which gets launched at not-Hibiki, defeating him.

Finally, finally, the Game Clear announcement plays.

Snipe shows up as Ex-Aid goe to pick up the Ganbarizing Gashat. He’ll be taking that, thank you very much.

Or not, if Brave has anything to say about it.

And it turns out none of them will be keeping any of their Namco gashats, since Dr. Pac-Man nyooms on in, and nabs all five from them in one go.

The black Ex-Aid shows up, and Dr. Pac-Man backs off as he takes the Ganbarizing gashat for a finisher.

Said finisher summons holograms of the previous Heisei Riders, in their pre-asskicking poses, before Genm leaps into the air, taking all of them along, and oh look that’s a whole lot of Rider Kicks aimed right at our heroes.

Fortunately, they aren’t hit by all 18 of them. Unfortunately, that’s because the holograms merge into a giant icon of the Ganbarizing logo, which Genm drops down through to kick all three heroes at once.

Nobody manages to keep their transformation once they hit the ground, and Genm just walks away.

Emu sums it up best. “What just happened?”

––

Back in his lair, Kuroto sets the Ganbarizing gashat next to the rest of the Legen Rider ones, saying that he finally has them all. I think the Showa Riders would beg to differ, but regardless.

Dr. Pac-Man comes in through the door. He has to duck a little to get through the frame, because of the helmet.

Kuroto turns around. “Take off that stupid helmet, already!”

Setting the helmet on the table, Parad smirks. “Come on, I was just having a little fun! You took off and got started without me, after all.” He sets three of the Namco gashats down on the table – the first three. Taiko no Tatsujin is nowhere to be seen.

As Parad calls dibs on Kuroto’s chair, Kuroto saunters over to where Parad left the mask. And. Uh. Starts… stroking it. While saying that everything is going according to plan.

Why. Why are you caressing it?! That’s… that’s like, a whole different level of creepy than the one you usually operate on!

Man. Now I’m going to be stuck on that for a while.

––

Anyway, that’s the Tricks: Genm special done! Not much to say about it that I haven’t already said in the liveblog, so I’ll just leave with one last comment.

The Dr. Pac-Man disguise is literally the only other outfit we see Parad in throughout the entire show, and it’s not even his. At least Graphite got that hoodie outfit when he faked having stolen the level three gashats.

Give Parad a wardrobe 2Kforever!

[randomnameless]

Roasted babies!

Finally, Rhea eats babies in a gruesome fashion!

Man, what an evil character, but somehow Annette and ashe are siding with her! Even Catherine and cyril (so he wasn't dead!) are horrified, but obey nonetheless because they are evil and listen to an evil monster who eats roasted babies!

More seriously, Edel had something to tell us and as I guessed it wasn't about her involvement in Jeralt's death, nope, but somehow, Edel knew that Billy and Billy's mom (? Was the plot to kill Jeralt a way to determine if he was involved in the Sothis plot device?) were tied to the so-called goddess!

Which we can s rank in this route but plot isn't Edel's BE route's forte, I'm afraid.

And she was sure we were going to side with rhea but she was so surprised and so happy when Billy brainfarted!

It would have been touching if Edel didn't do the previous things we've seen her do in the last chapter., I. E. "we must absolutely kill King Dimitri"

We finally know what she hates Rhea : because Rhea is a dragon!

For humanity!

And nope, we're going to conveniently ignore that it is for the sake of humanity that this pointless war happened, that we're siding with evulz people turning real bona-fide humans into monsters :)

So, back to the plot, Edel cried after beheading Dimitri, when she called him a fool during the battle. But it's only when he's dead that Edel reveals that poor Dimitri lived a shit life and suffered through the tragedy of Duscur because of Nuncle Arundel, but not even once did she bother to explain this to him, of course :)

Well Dimitri, like any reasonable person, would have called Edel on her alliance with her nuncle, but again, BE route isn't about the plot or coherence.

Dimitri's map was hardcore though, with all those randoms turning into monsters and Dedue joining them :'(

Worse, they move just after their transformation!

Rhea under her new/old identity passed by, she was a pain to deal with and she came with her weird machines, but they seem pretty mechanical compared to the beasts but less advanced than the titanus (in French) we fought at Arianrhod against the sultry lady whose name I forgot (Cornelia?)

I think the Monica gang, through the sultry lady corrupted the Kingdom from within and gave them those gfdi gems, but I guess this is something we'll learn in the BL route.

Anyways to hammer how evil rhea is, Hubert and Edel note that she uses the goddess' name to cheer up her troops, but after the Arianrhod event where they omitted nuncle Arundel's involvement to put the blame on the church to motivate Caspar and Co, it only made me sigh.

Nuncle Arundel passes by in the intro of the last chapter, saying that he and Edel share the goal of eradicate Rhea, they exchange thinly veiled threats but then nothing.

Oh well, I'm sure the issue with the Monica gang is going to be resolved in a satisfying way, and not handwaved at all!

I am weak and read spoilers :)

[sanctferum]

Steven Universe – Reunited reactions

Time for the final episode of this Stevenbomb, and it looks like it’s gonna be quite the episode…

Huh, this title screen is different…

Wow, we’re starting off with a song from Steven!

A melancholy song about Rose…but soon enough Steven stops brooding and pops out of his bathroom into the rest of his house, where Pearl and Amethyst, both in suits (and with Amethyst’s hair all fancied up unlike how it usually is) are filling a box with roses. A wedding flower! But maybe not the best flower to use at this particular wedding, methinks.

Greg, also in a suit, has no roses. He has a stack of pancakes with syrup and butter. I think that’s butter. I hope that’s butter. But I will say, my first thought was not that it was butter, but popcorn. Together Breakfast has obviously left deep scars on my psyche.

Steven anoints the top of the pancake pile – which is technically, I suppose, a wedding cake – with two little figures of Ruby and Sapphire.

Steven is taking his mind off of the whole Rose thing by having wedding fun. (Amethyst looks somewhat confused at him dancing and singing all over. C’mon, you’ve lived with Steven almost his life, you should know how he is with musical numbers.)

Pearl still has her top hat from Mr. Greg!

“How can we move on…?” Pearl asks. Maybe the top hat is reminding her of “It’s Over Isn’t It”?

Good on Steven for choosing to think positively! And it sounds like he genuinely is into it, not just repressing his emotions or anything.

Bismuth is not wearing a suit. Or rather, she is wearing a suit…of armor. Nice.

Amethyst was in charge of getting the flowers. And she’s just now thinking about the implication of picking Roses. I mean, roses. Lowercase r.

Anyways, Peridot’s gathering flowers, so I’m fully expecting her to come back with an armful of flowers, but they’re all roses.

PERIDOT IN A DRESS

She’s standing in front of a huge hole in the ground…almost certainly where the barn used to be. Yeah, no Lapis at this wedding. Then again, Lapis doesn’t get along with most of the Crystal Gems, due to them having owned the mirror she was trapped in for several thousand years.

On the other hand, this IS an episode called “Reunited”. I mentioned some possibilities before for who’s reuniting – Sapphire with Ruby to become Garnet, Garnet with the CGs, Garnet with Bismuth, Lars with Sadie (and the off colors would be there too), and Steven/”Pink Diamond” with the Diamonds as a not-so-pleasant reunion that could happen. But it’s totally possible Lapis could return as well.

“Sooner or later the Diamonds are gonna come for the Cluster…” That IS an inevitability. And judging by some shots from the Heart of the Crystal Gems trailer, I’m guessing the answer is “sooner”…

There’s a shot of Lapis sitting on the barn. Which looks to still be in that moon crater. I dunno if Lapis returned to the moon, or if this is a flashback kinda shot.

Stevens’s song has been a pretty decent summary of recent events, huh.

Steven dances Peridot over to the warp pad as he sings, returning himself to the house. The Crystal Gems, including Bismuth (but not including Ruby and Sapphire, who I’m guessing are outside) are there, and they and Greg have been joined by Connie (who hasn’t met Bismuth before, but I suppose she knows who Bismuth is, or at the very least knows what she looks like due to the fusion hallucinations in Mindful Education)

Outside, Sapphire is in a suit, and standing underneath the wedding tent thingy, while the townspeople all sit in the chairs in front. The Pizzas (and Dewey’s former bodyguards, who prolly work for Nanefua now?), The Frymans, The Maheswarans, Uncle Andy, Yellowtail and his family, the Deweys, Jamie, the Millers, Mr. Smiley…no sign of Ruby, yet, but she’ll be along soon, I’m sure.

Andy looks somewhat worried, and I’m guessing that’s because there’s a big pink magical lion sitting on the ground near his chair and generally speaking, lions sitting near your chair is not a good situation. (Lion, on the other hand, is, as a cat would be expected to, doing his best “I don’t give a fuck” impression.)

Another cute instrumental of “Made of Love”. This episode only gets better and better.

Peridot accidentally hits Mr. Fryman in the face with a flower so hard he falls out of his chair.

“All flowers have been deployed, commander!” I love Peridot so much guys

With the instrumental Made of Love being played by Greg on his guitar, the other bride makes her appearance.

Ruby is in a dress, and she looks really cute! I bet Sapphire thinks so too.

Ruby’s excitement causes her footsteps to leave burn marks on the house’s steps as she descends, and as she rushes past the guests in a ball of fire, she turns the sand underneath her to glass.

It begins!

D’aww, Cat Steven is sleeping on top of Lion’s mane!

Is Pumpkin one of the bridesmaids?! That’s amazing. 10/10

GFDI THE ONION JOKE

5,750 years and 8 months, huh. Well, it’s interesting to have a specific number of years since Garnet was formed (as opposed to a general “The War took place 6000 years or so ago”)

I’d say “get a room you two”, but if a wedding isn’t a place for public flirting, what is?

“The power vested in me by the state of Delmarva” Steven confirmed for ordained public official?

A full on lesbian kiss on the lips? On MY children’s cartoon show? It’s more likely than we ever dared think.

She’s back, baby! Garnet is back! I can’t tell if she has a new design or not, due to the wedding dress covering most of her body. (I’m assuming the wedding dress isn’t a permanent part of her design, haha)

While Greg takes a break from his guitar, DJ Sour Cream has us covered. Time to hit the dance floor!

Yeah, that bouquet isn’t coming down from the atmosphere for a long time, sorry guys.

Jamie apparently still has somewhat of a crush on Garnet, but now that he’s seen fusion firsthand he’s gotta understand why it wouldn’t work.

Dewey’s also still a bit depressed about not being Mayor Dewey, I suppose. Poor guy, standing there watching his former bodyguards dance with Nanefua.

Awww, Dewey and Jamie are bonding over their sorrows.

Are they gonna dance together? Nice.

Bismuth, meet Ronaldo. This can only end well.

Oh, the bouqet finally fell down, onto an unsuspecting Bismuth. (Amethyst proceeds to laugh her ass off. Not literally. It sure says something about Amethyst that I have to clarify that.)

Steven’s crying tears of joy. Well, no more tears now. Only happiness.

…The tears don’t stop, no matter how hard Steven tries to dry them up. That’s weird. And probably not good at all. I do remember the last time Steven cried uncontrollably, from emotions that weren’t his own. Ruh-roh…Peridot was right, it looks like. There’s only one explanation for this, and it is one of my guesses about what “Reunited” meant. Blue Diamond must be heading to Earth to see why the Cluster hasn’t hatched.

Garnet’s future vision shows her something bad…

“She’s here?!” “And she’s not alone.” Oh boy. It sounds like Yellow Diamond is ALSO heading to Earth. Fuck. This is really bad.

Suddenly, everything starts to darken. Onion points up the sky, at some suspicious looking clouds.

And the clouds part to reveal two arms. Or, two arm-shaped ships. One yellow, one blue. This is the very definition of bad. Goddamn Diamond party poopers.

Guests flee in panic, as Steven tells Nanefua to activate her emergency contingencies. Time to evacuate!

Peridot is momentarily distracted by her panicking from the ships flying overhead, missing the group altogether. Uh…

Oh. That explains. They aren’t here to fight the Crystal Gems at all, OR to retrieve Steven. They want something else…the Cluster.

Oh god. Bismuth doesn’t know what the Cluster is. Someone really needs to explain to her just what happened to all her friends. I mean, as far as I can tell, she seemed to figure out the corruption stuff on her own just from observing Biggs, but…

Steven can’t mentally connect to the cluster unless he’s asleep. So he tries to go to sleep, while the very world is shaking and dread is consuming everyone. Yeah, good luck with that kiddo.

Greg plays a few notes on his guitar and Steven just fucking. Passes out. OK then. But he soon wakes up, in terror, as the cluster’s bubble pops.

He and everyone rush outside, as the cluster starts to form, a million arms reaching out of the Earth at once, melding and fusing together…to form a giant hand, muscle and sinew and no skin and oh god what’s gonna happen now

The hand tightens into a fist, and…

Oh god. Ronaldo tries to attack it while dual-wielding katanas. But thankfully, Peedee pulls him away before he can catch its attention. You do NOT wanna fuck with this thing, Bloodstone.

But, while the Cluster hatching might spell Earth’s end, it doesn’t mean the Diamonds get their hands on a superweapon either. Because the cluster is made up entirely of shards from Crystal Gems, those who fought the Diamonds. And as such, the first thing the hand of the Cluster does is punch Yellow’s ship, which flies back in a clutter, straight towards Beach City. Thankfully, it lands out at sea, instead of on the town itself. The ship is tough enough that it still works fine…as such, it rises up out of the ocean to face the Cluster. The hand of the Cluster stretches up, over the Gem Temple, and for a moment it hovers there, as if about to crush the Crystal Gems and friends like a gnat.

And then, it gives those below a thumbs up.

The Cluster does not want to destroy the planet its components gave their lives to protect. And with that in the forefront of every shard’s broken mind, it’s able to prevent itself from fully forming. And the part of it that HAS formed, recognizes and wants to protect Steven and friends.

Suddenly, the tide may have turned.

As Steven gives a thumbs up back, the Cluster attacks Yellow’s ship again, and vice versa, the two of them wrestling each other to the surface of the planet. As the Cluster starts to overpower the arm ship, Blue’s own arm ship arrives to reinforce her sister. And then turns around, looking like it’s gonna ram the Temple.

The hand of the ship slams down onto the beach, and as it raises back up, it leaves Blue Diamond standing there in its wake. Of all the people to crash Garnet’s wedding, Blue Diamond is probably the worst person or gem to do so, huh.

Greg offers to parley with Blue, but everyone instantly shoots him down. Probably best he doesn’t get locked back up in the zoo, huh.

As Greg retreats into the house, Blue makes her approach. Yellow wants the Cluster. Blue wants revenge. Time for her to learn the truth about Pink, then?

“This is PINK’s world! How DARE you use it as your hiding place!” Yeah. About that…

Peridot freaks out, Connie draws Rose’s sword, and Steven is frozen in fear.

And Bismuth? Bismuth immediately shapeshifts her hand into a hammer and leads Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst out into battle like a hardened general.

“C’mon, you rocks! Let’s put her in a bubble!”

The Crewniverse once said that a Diamond can’t be poofed. But judging by A Single Pale Rose, it’s not so impossible after all. Theoretically.

Steven makes up his mind. He tells the Crystal Gems to stay behind, and walks out to confront Blue alone, intent on telling her the truth of Pink and Rose’s conflict, and therefore hopefully removing her reason to want revenge.

Blue, of course, doesn’t believe a word he says. So much for that plan, Steebs.

Blue sends a blast of energy at Steven, and he flies back, only for a newly formed Alexandrite to catch him. Steven tries to stop Alexandrite, but both the Gems and Blue are intent on ending one another. Blue’s emotions spiral out of control and she clenches her first as sorrow and anguish wash over her, her aura projecting out from her on all sides, unfusing Alexandrite and basically forcing everyone into a fetal position.

Interestingly enough, said aura only seems to affect gems. And in Steven’s case, half-gem. Bismuth and Peridot collapse, while Connie freaks out at what’s going on but isn’t otherwise affected. As she’s the only one standing, she figures she’s the only one who can do something, and whistles for Lion. Lion jumps through the air, and Connie pushes off his back, in an attempt to slash the sword into Blue’s face.

Without even looking, Blue catches the entire sword in between two of her fingers. Yeah, there’s no way that was gonna work.

Blue recognizes Connie’s sword. Uh-oh.

“This…THIS IS THE SWORD THAT SHATTERED HER!”

And with the rage of a thousand suns, she returns the favor and shatters Rose’s sword into a million pieces, sending Connie tumbling down below. Lion manages to catch her. Oh, damn. Well, I guess it’s a good thing the Gems and Connie now have a professional blacksmith gem with her own forge to make a new one, and maybe it can specifically be for Connie instead of being a hand-me-down?

As Blue prepares to destroy them all, as the cluster struggles to hold back Yellow’s ship in the background…Garnet manages to stand up and she stands before her former Diamond. Blue of course doesn’t recognize her at all.

“I am the will of two gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn’t stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can’t stop me now.”

And then, Blue recognizes Garnet. A Ruby and a Sapphire, who broke the rules exactly 5,750 years ago, in Blue’s very own presence.

Blue scoffs at Garnet’s attempts to harm her, but Garnet grins and reveals that she wasn’t trying to seriously hurt Blue. Just to distract her.

A look of confusion appears on Blue’s face. And then a drop of water hits her head. And another one. And a third one. Blue and Steven look up at the sky.

There’s a giant water bubble hanging over Blue’s head. And inside of it, a barn. And next to the barn, silhouetted against the moon, is Lapis Lazuli. FUCK. YES.

SHE’S SMILING! SHE’S FOUND THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE DIAMONDS! TO PROTECT THOSE SHE CARES FOR! THIS IS THE BEST!

The only way for this episode to get any better is if Lars and crew reach Earth and help the Cluster fight Yellow’s ship.

One barn to the face, coming right up! Press F for Peridot’s meep morps. Oh well.

Blue is nowhere to be seen. I kinda doubt that poofed her, but it at least gave us a moment’s reprieve.

CRYSTAL GEM LAPIS!

Blue is down but not out, and within the next few moments, she burst out from under the barn, destroying what remains of it in the process.

Oh shit. She recognizes Lapis. Lapis WAS part of her court back during the War, so that makes sense, huh.

Aura time again!

The Gems all collapse again, except Lapis. I think I might know why, too. Lapis has dealt with too much of her own anguish, sorrow, and self-hatred to be brought low by someone else’s.

“I’ve felt…worse.” FUCK YES

And at last, Lapis has realized that being on a planet that is 70% water makes her practically a god.

Everyone draws their weapons. Say, though. Now that she’s imprisoned with water chains, maybe’s a good time to talk to her and tell her Pink’s truth.

Oh, there go the chains again. Bombardment time!

Wow, Steven’s shield powers have improved so much, he can hold off a Diamond’s energy bombardment.

Oh right. Peridot doesn’t have a weapon, either from her gem or a Bismuth weapon. Well, she’s trying to be helpful, but soda cans aren’t gonna do more than distract her for a second. Bismuth picks up Peridot and throws her straight into Blue’s face. Distraction it is, I suppose. (If Blue swats Peridot off and she gets poofed, she’ll totally come back by the end of the episode with a crystal gem design, right? There’s no way she’d get poofed and not come back with a big ol’ star shape. Also a shirt that says “take this, Diamond clod!”)

Blue successfully deflects every attack sent her way, raises up her arms to protect her face from Lion’s sonic roars, and…fails to lower them in time, as Steven hits her with a spike-covered bubble straight in the chest. Round 3 (or is it 4?) goes to Steebs!

Meanwhile, The Cluster’s grip is starting to cause parts of Yellow’s ship to explode. Yellow’s ship goes flying. Lapis scoops up Steven and carries him away in the knick of time, but Blue isn’t so lucky. Her ship smashes onto her, and keeps going, skidding into the cliffside, taking a large portion of Steven’s house and The Temple with it.

Oh, right. Greg’s still in there.

And now Greg is out here, clutching Cat Steven to his chest as he staggers out of the ruins of the house.

The Cluster gives Steven another thumbs up, then withdraws back into the Earth before it can lose control of itself, where it presumably re-bubbles itself.

Yeah, nice after-wedding party you had their, Garnet.

Whether or not Blue is actually poofed, it isn’t over yet. There’s one more Diamond here. And Yellow isn’t interested in a long-drawn out revenge like Blue is. She just wants it to be over and done with. I doubt she’d want to hear anything Steven has to say, even less than Blue. She just wants “Rose” dead and shattered, the planet destroyed, and the whole mess put out of sight and out of mind forever.

She breaks out of her ship to confront Steven and co. But first, she jumps down over to Blue’s ship and lifts it up, so that Blue (who has not in fact been poofed) can crawl out from underneath.

“Ha! I told her off once. I can do it again.” Hey, remember what happened to both Zircons? Time for Poofidot. Can’t wait to see her new design…

And there she goes.

I wonder if Yellow really didn’t remember Peridot? Maybe it’s cause she has no limb enhancers? Or maybe she just didn’t give a fuck after the initial shock of an underling calling her a clod wore off?

Steven quickly rushes forward to protect Peridot’s gem, and Yellow notices him. And she charges, intent on the kill.

Steven’s shield momentarily deflects her. Then she stomps down on it, hard.

The next moment, Steven opens his eyes to see Connie screaming over him. She sounds distorted. And the background is…weird. Did Yellow manage to poof Steven? If so, she’ll see what his gem looks like, right? And that will solve that.

Steven gets up, leaving an after-image of him behind. I guess even though he poofed, his body is still there because he’s only half-gem? Uh, maybe?

Steven looks around to figure out where he is. Uh…that looks like…Connie’s head…?

Oh, it’s everyone, frozen in a moment in time, while images of them as they are right now – fighting – are also visible…? And the fight isn’t going well. Peridot’s poofed, and Lapis, undoubtably the most powerful gem currently fighting (by the oceanside no less!), soon suffers the same fate. (Crystal gem redesign for her too…?)

When Steven passes through Connie’s image, Connie is able to hear his voice. And Steven has a plan. When he touches Connie’s image, she can hear him, so…if everyone in the fight has an image, then…he needs to make his way to Blue and Yellow and touch their images and tell them what really happened.

He tells Connie to protect his body while he’s out, and jumps from gem to gem from there. He encourages Garnet to keep fighting for what she believes in, as she is Made of Love, tells Amethyst that he believes in her, and reminds Pearl that she isn’t just fighting for Rose or Steven, but also for herself. He tells Bismuth not to give up hope till the fight is over. And then…

Yellow and Blue…

Yellow believes that what happened to Pink, is her fault. She was the one who gave Pink a colony despite serious reservations. Her sister’s death hangs heavy around her head, in a way that she’s refused to outwardly show.

And Blue…Blue knows, deep in her gem, that executing Steven and destroying Earth is a pointless endeavor. It’s pointless, because no matter what she does or who she hurts, it will never bring Pink Diamond back. And everything that happens just makes her miss Pink more, just makes her suffer even deeper.

Their emotions are super strong. Strong enough that Steven can’t even approach their minds…

He dives in again to try and reach Blue’s mind, and succeeds briefly, before being flung back again. Blue’s eyes shoot open in shock, and she looks around, confused. Again, Steven tries, and again Blue feels a presence. A…familiar presence…

Steven also gets through to Yellow, who assumes it’s a trick, a trap. She points to where Steven is, and she and Blue attack. Steven instinctively tries to manifest his shield…and ends up unlocking his Diamond aura instead.

And with that, Steven can fight back. Not with violence, not even with words, but with love. The love two sisters had for their fallen sibling. The truth about that sibling. She’s still alive. She’s here. Right here, in front of them. Not even Yellow can deny that. Not anymore.

And then Steven wakes up.

And looking down on him are the Crystal Gems, Connie, and Greg. And behind them…Yellow Diamond. And...

Blue Diamond. With tears flowing from her eyes. Finally seeing the truth…

And with that, the episode ends. Possibly the season, too. I’m not sure.

Lars and the off-colors didn’t show up in the end, but still. That was an absolutely AMAZING episode.

Thank you so much, Rebecca Sugar and crewniverse. Thank you.

hi and tysm for the long response! finished the first game and im pretty astounded (it usually takes me months to finish a single game.. this took me a week). i bought the trilogy so i was always planning on playing through the whole thing but now im pretty excited. goodbyes in particular was great. ive heard that apollo's game isn't too liked in the fandom (may be wrong) but ill take your word and look forward to it! also, i think athena's my favorite, she's so pretty :( (played dd first trial)

I'm really glad you're enjoying it!!! The trilogy is a classic and it's no wonder it's so iconic among many gamers (love it when every Christmas comes around and I get to relive That cross examination). Edgeworth is the original poor meow meow emo boy and gfdi i love him he's so good. RFTA is argued over a little over how good it is, but I gotta say I'm a big fan of Ema. Fun fact, it was added in as a bonus trial when Ace Attorney first made the switch to DS! Ace Attorney originally started on the GBA in Japan - we never got that version and skipped right to the DS when they remastered the series. RFTA was made as a bonus to promote the new DS release. It was also made to show off the potential of the DS and play off its new gimmicks like including a microphone (you wonder why you had to blow powder off shit so much in that case? yeah).

As for Apollo Justice, you're not wrong in that there are a LOT of people who don't like it. Don't get me wrong - it isn't perfect, and some people may not like the new characters as much as I did, but I think a big reason why it was received so poorly (especially early on) was because it was,,, different. Phoenix isn't the main character. It's a whole new cast. That tends to make people mad. Luckily it seems nowadays people are actually judging the game based off its contents rather than getting mad over the fact you don't play as Phoenix. And even then, some people still don't like the game, and that's fine! It's just my personal opinion that it is the best in the series, lol. I guess the differences and the things they changed will make the game seem worse for some, while better for others. Clearly I'm in the group who thinks it made it better.

gfdi i can’t believe mutant apocalypse has given me ideas and compelled me to draw, like gdi brain can you have more class than this could you not choose a more worthy foe?

Anyway, concepty sketches only ‘cause I got too much other stuff to be drawing, but here’s a fully mutated post-apocalyptic wasteland April. Ever since I first devised a kraang!April, I had the headcanon that, being a perfect mix of human and kraang acclimatised to both Earth and Dimension X, she’d be a great terraforming machine? So, post-mutagen bomb, her pre-programmed job is to wander the wasteland slowly terraforming the crap out of it (since otherwise what was the freakin’ point, kraang?).

Not affiliated to any wasteland gang, not abiding any followers, doesn’t entertain bribes or even hold a conversation with lowly marauders; she’s just a semi-mythical goddess of destruction after 50 years and if you encounter her, you’re probably pretty screwed.

Speaking of, the bonus reunion that we deserved:

[boudiscanon]

ALL THE VIDYA GAEM QUESTIONS FOR YOU AS WELL

1. Favorite game from the last 5 years?

HNNNNG It’s been a good couple years for video games for me, so I don’t think I can pick just one. Defo The Amber Throne, and Tales of Berseria, and Nier: Automata I haven’t even finished but is amaze. d

2. Most nostalgic game?

This is also hard bc there are pictures of me as an infant giggling while watching my brother play on his old NES. One of my earliest memories is of him playing Duck Hunt at my grandparents. And there are a bunch of SNES games I spent forever playing with him, like TMNT Turtles in Time, Super Mario All Stars, Super Mario World, Street Fighter, Link to the Past, Final Fight II.... And that’s just baby me, not even elementary school lmfao 

3. Game that deserves a sequel?

Chrono Trigger. I know technically Chrono Cross is its “”sequel”” and I fucking love Chrono Cross, but as its own game, not as a follow up to Chrono Trigger. I’d love to see an HD remake of it which all the open world, nonlinear, gigantic and insane detail that Sakaguchi tried but couldn’t put in the first go-round. That or for Square to not just sit on Chrono Break’s totle and actually make a game out of it. 

4. Game that deserves a remaster?

FFIX - Objectively the best Final Fantasy, but more importantly, the one with the most scenery porn. Can you imagine climbing Cleyra in HD? Kuja’s stained glass desert palace??? The excuse to play Chocobo Hot and Cold for 34293759043t534 more hours?????

5. Favorite game series?

Chrono series followed closely by the FF series

6. Favorite genre?

RPGs

7. Least favorite genre?

FPS. Can’t aim for shit, and first person pov has always been disorienting to me.

8. Favorite song from a game?

TIME CIRCUITS GOD ITS SO GOOD I GET CHILLS EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME I HERE IT EVEN IF I LITERALLY JUST PLAYED IT TEN TIMES

9. Favorite character from a game?

FARIS SCHERWIZ CAPN OF MY HEART

10. Favorite ship from a game?

All of them? Can I pick all of them? I guess Soriku always gets me emotional, and Lavos/JENOVA bc gfdi Puck, and Mondo/Ishimaru, and if I have to pick at least one definitively canon pairing, then Boud

11. Favorite voice actor from a game?

Ghaleon’s voice actor from the psx version of Lunar 2: Eternal Blue

12. Favorite cutscene?

Nibelheim

13. Favorite boss?

I don’t think I have one favorite boss. I do like Zelda bosses bc they’re almost always clever but doable, and have fun designs. I also really like giant megabosses the size of mountains that make you feel like an ant and want to pee your pants and run away when they first show up. I also love every fight with Beatrix bc she can hand me my own ass any day.   

14. First console?

First one I played was a SNES, first one I owned myself was a Gameboy Color

15. Current console or consoles?

Still have that Gameboy, and a PSP, PS2, PS4, Wii, and my phone

16. Console you want?

SWITCH

17. Place from a game that you’d like to visit?

Fletz and Donau from Legend of Dragoon, Everywhere in Chrono Cross and FFIX, Esthar and Fisherman’s Horizon from FFVIII, all of Spira from FFX, Zeal from Chrono Trigger, Zora’s Domain from Ocarina of Time, ANYWHERE PRETTY TBH

18. Place from a game that you’d like to live in?

Furni from Legend of Dragoon would be cool, since it’s venice-esque and you get around on boats, but also might be a pain after a while. Dollet from FFVIII would also be nice, save the bit where Galbadia invades and also monster rain down from the fucking moon. Maybe Lindblum? I mean it has an entire theater district so there’s probably a lot of gays there. 

19. Ridiculous crossover that would never happen but would be super fun?

LAVOS/JENOVA I even have a whole cx that I should attempt to fic where Lavos is the Calamity instead of JENOVA. Also a cx where the Meteor in FFVII turns out to just be Galuf, Sephiroth’s rad grandpa. 

20. Book that would make a good game?

Any book, if the game is done well? 

21. Show/Movie that would make a good game?

Same. 

22. Games you want to play?

Breath of the Wild, What Remains of Edith Finch, a bunch more waiting on my steam lol

23. Have you gotten 100% completion in a game?

Yes. Not in any recent games where often you have to just get 999999999 of thing x which is just boring and has no payoff, but I love me some side quests. Chrono Trigger has the BEST sidequests.  

24. Have you cried over a game?

I got choked up watching Frog wield the reborn Masamune and break open the entrance to Magus’ castle just yesterday. Also the end of FFVIII, and X get me every fucking time. Also Crisis Core, which basically ripped out my soul and my actual physical heart and proceeded to stomp on them in front of me.

25. What power-up or ability would you want IRL?

The power to walk into people’s houses and just take their money and stuff with no consequences. Or to just walk outside and punch some really big mosquitoes a couple times and rob their corpses for cash. Or to just inspect random boxes or pots along the street and find gobs of money. Or chop tall grass and find $$$. 

Barring that, I wanna suplex a train.

[sillyandquiteawkward]

gfdi i love your trolls. could you tell us a little more about them so I can get too attached to them and draw them interacting with my fantrolls?

i copied this from one of my other posts about adicio but its a pretty good summary bc he was the only one i fleshed out

“Your name is ADICIO CURSIM and you have a variety of HOBBIES. One of them is using your uncanny ability to ANIMATE VARIOUS INANIMATE OBJECTS. Unfortunately you have only managed to do this to VARIOUS FOOD ITEMS you’ve found around your hive. Your BATTY lusus tends to have the habit to EAT the food you animate and it UNSETTLES YOU GREATLY. You enjoy CHATTING ONLINE with your friends but you never actually MET one, which is probably for the better because your hive is A COMPLETE MESS and so are you. Your CAPTCHALOGUE  MODUS is 52 PICKUP and you find it PARTICULARLY ANNOYING TO USE. You’re not one to start a fight, but you've equipped 2XDAGGERKIND for PROTECTION REASONS ONLY. You enjoy to EXAGGERATE THE THINGS YOU SAY but not for ANY PARTICULAR REASON, you just enjoy to be a bit over the top.

Your trolltag is gutlessAnimate and |you prefer to contain your thoughts between fences where its safe| (but occasionally slip into side comments where you tend to ramble for quite a while until people start telling you to get back on track)”

inanis is a movie star and thats about as far as i got with her. her hive is actually in a sea cavern, like yknow. how the incredibles did a sea cavern. yeah. she big and she will Fight you. has the Big Flirty Crush on adicio’s cool guy personailty

fortie seeven uhhhhhhhhhh has a funny name. kinda feels like a sollux rip off without the 3d shtick. online bffs with adicio.

reduco has zero personality and i made her up to complete the four members to the team sort of thing. she gay for her movie star friend tho and i think she does whatever inanis says like a groupie
