*deep breath*
the thing is. the fucking thing is.
it's not unrealistic for someone to not dig deeper into their queer identity beyond what they know to be true, which might be "yeah i might be attracted to people of the same gender but i dont have time to get into that right now 'cause life is complicated and i'm in a relationship/i'm not interested in dating right now anyway so what does it matter"
(same goes for figuring out your gender identity. exhibit A:
[image description: a tweet by shaka (@/ScaredAsian) that says, “im probably nonbinary but i have a job so idrc about that rn”. In plain text, it says, “I’m probably nonbinary but I have a job so I don’t really care about that right now.” /end id])
but this doesn't work for evan buckley
who had his little freakout on his first date with tommy and went to talk to his sister who literally told him "now you're more than an ally" and that maybe he's not sure of his feelings but he'll figure them out. (sidenote: she should have said identity instead of feelings. but whatever.)
who has been in a relationship with his boyfriend for six months
who has been known to go on research binges because he has a curious mind and loves learning. tommy's sarcastic "oh good, you found a substack" tells us everything we need to know, y'all.
who has at least one very close queer friend and co-worker, hen fucking wilson; and one friend/acquaintance who is a queer man (we don't know how much he sees josh outside of visiting maddie at dispatch, and like, that one time he hang out with him and maddie and chimney, so it's a little bit up to fanon to decide if they're friend-friends but at the end of the day it is a trusted person and an openly gay man. i mean, we saw how josh stood up for tommy, and schooled the fuck out of buck. finally, a conversation about being queer between two canonically queer characters! only took 8 seasons, huh! i digress.)
and have i mentioned he's been dating his boyfriend for six months? like, if he was ever to have a conversation about being queer... tommy is right there. tommy opened up about his own experience figuring out his sexuality and coming out on their very first date and moreover reassured buck it's okay if he's feeling a little tense about them being out on a date in a public place.
point being: there are people in his life who would be more than happy to talk to him about his newfound identity outside of his relationship with tommy.
taking all of these things into consideration: it's not only inconsistent with the character they have established, but the timeline of it is also really fucking messed up.
and more than that: any faith i may have had in this show to handle a delicate matter like a character exploring their newfound sexuality has flown out the window. they broke the audience's trust with 8x06. i'm not interested in seeing how they're going to move this story forward, because 8x06 was such a particular fuck up, beginning to end, wrt the bucktommy storyline.
and honestly? knowing the format 911 follows, as a network procedural: this is not the right medium to tell this story, at this point in the timeline, because it has become way more complicated than it would have been in s7, immediately following buck's bisexual awakening.
tldr: the premise is sound but the execution is so bad it's practically unsalvageable within the scope of the show (but very manageable in fanfiction, where you can dwell in the character's headspace and dig into what goes on beyond the things they say and do. godspeed, everyone <3)
partly inspired by @firehose118's tags on their post and partly like, being queer. source: dude trust me

To infinity and beyond🚀! 🇺🇸
"A half-Century ago, it was an honor to serve my country in the effort to put a human being on the Moon. I am proud of what we accomplished then and I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of an enduring human presence in space – it is a calling that runs through every fiber of my being. Over time, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane. But under the first Trump Administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated as a policy of high importance again. Under President Trump’s first term, America saw a revitalized interest in Space, and his Administration reignited national efforts to get back to the Moon, and push on to Mars. The Trump Administration also reinstituted the National Space Council, and our Nation’s defense was enhanced with the creation of the U.S. Space Force – increasingly important as space becomes a contested domain.
At the same time, I have been enthused and excited by the great advancements in the private sector space economy, led by visionaries like @elonmusk These are concrete accomplishments that align with my concerns and America’s policy priorities. America is facing serious and difficult challenges both at home and abroad. The Presidency requires clarity in judgement, decisiveness, and calm under pressure that few have a natural ability to manage, or the life experience to successfully undertake. It is a job where decisions are made that routinely involve American lives – some urgently but not without thought. The job requires sober analysis of frightening scenarios, and the instinct to lead with resolve. From the skies over Korea in air-to-air combat to navigating, landing, and walking on the Moon, I appreciate this kind of pressure. I know what it is like to have to make these kinds of decisions, with firmness and follow-through. In this election, we have a choice and we all have one vote.
For some, the choice may not be easy – but in times of uncertainty real leaders are most needed – to guide and inspire a people, to push through the noise, recognize what really matters, and accomplish missions critical to all citizens. Most Americans rightly consider it an honor to cast their vote for a leader they believe will best serve the nation.
For me, for the future of our country, to meet enormous challenges, and for the proven policy accomplishments above, I believe we are best served by voting for Donald J. Trump. I wholeheartedly endorse him for President of the United States. Godspeed President Trump, and God Bless the United States of America." Oct 30 2024 31.7views

wait no get on your they DO make sense soapbox about matthew/leon please!!!
okay, just for you and @irrelevanttous and the several anons who asked once i said no one had asked about them yet ❤
to be clear, obviously this is a ship i enjoy a lot and find very compelling, but i'm not going to try to talk other people into liking it. i just find this kind of stuff interesting and fun to talk about. i know it's the annoyingly popular ship and if someone has decided it's too annoying or not for them at this point, they're so valid. as a person who wasn't into basically every other super popular hrpf ship in the past 15 years i know intimately how it feels to not be into the popular ship so like. godspeed and good luck 😂
what i DO want to talk about is how i see people throwing around the ideas that as a ship it doesn't make sense, it's not based in anything, it's not the kind of ship that's ever been popular in hockey fandom before — because that all feels ahistorical to me? and i just wanna babble thru my feelings a little, please bear with me.
so first of all, rivalry ships are foundational to hrpf and sports rpf in general and like. fandom in general, you know? sid/ovi, sid/claude, mceichel are the big examples that come to mind but even smaller ones that got a lot of chatter but not a lot of fic like ladd/kesler back in the day. enemies to lovers is a classic trope for a reason. people love that shit. people have always loved that shit.
it is imo unexpected that the ship kept going so strong after matthew got himself traded to florida and we mostly stopped getting content, but also when a ship gets really popular it's not weird for it to mostly run off vibes instead of canon content. you see it in media fandoms all the time, and i would actually say all of the past really popular hockey ships at a certain point were running more off fanon vibes than "canon" content even for teammate ships. and people complained about that with those ships, too, so matthew/leon is not unique in that way 😂 like, it's fine to think it's annoying or wish the fic were more closely aligned with your own headcanons or perceptions of real life. but it's not a unique phenomenon at all!
anyway, on the "it doesn't make sense" "it's a ship based on nothing" front... it is extremely based on things though? i know a lot of people got into the ship after matthew's trade to florida or toward the end of his time in calgary so i think it's very possible that they truly just don't know that when matthew was in calgary, every battle of alberta was content. the ship is very much based on a very observable and specific interpersonal rivalry dynamic that developed over six seasons and had a few highly notable public moments!
obviously it doesn't have the same level of "canon" content you'll get with a ship between good friends and teammates but that's fine! it's a rivalry ship! mceichel was built on way less. sid/ovi was built on barely more, but the heyday of that ship ended while the rivalry was ongoing so it wasn't as noticeable. rivalry ships are not about "look at all this content that proves they're in love," they're about "wow those guys hate each other. it would be hot if they fucked." which is as equally valid a reason to ship something as anything. with matthew and leon, it's helped by them being guys that a lot of people also find individually compelling and so the idea of constructing narratives to explore that relationship (or make them fuck nasty) is really appealing. if it doesn't appeal to someone, that's also fine! but that doesn't make it based on nothing.
(sidenote though to say that i also think it's fine to have ships based on nothing. you're allowed to smush any hockey men you want together for literally any reason. this is rpf. the most "evidence-less" ship is just as fake as the most "canon" ship because there is no canon. it's rpf. it's all fake. none of that is real. shipping is not a contest. everyone please remember that it's all fake and the showrunners won't make any of our ships canon. except willy and pasta, apparently.)
(also sidenote to say i think it's actually fine when mattdrai fans themselves joke about the ship being made up. it's just self-awareness — with a rivalry ship you do have to do a lot more work making up the trappings that keep your guys together for your little stories! doing that work is part of the fun!)
anyway. matthew/leon does not need me to defend it, and that's not what i'm trying to do here. i don't need people to like my ship, i liked it plenty before i knew how many other people also liked it. but i have been a little irked by those narratives flying around because, you know, they're not true? you can dislike the ship and ship other things without doing lies on the internet about it? so i needed to speak my truth. and like, if someone is sick of matthew/leon and wants a different matthew ship or a different leon ship to be the next big thing, i hope they pour themselves into writing for that ship and find friends to join them! so that i (a person who will read almost anything) have a wider variety of stuff to read about my guys!
i do have a lot of thoughts about matthew/leon as a ship and as a trope dynamic and as individual characters, and the different ways people write them and feel about their dynamic and characterization, but we will save that for another post. because this post is already so long 😭

Development Update - September 2024
Hello folks! Miyazaki checking in with our development updates for the month of September. Between getting our newest art team member onboarded, cooking up some really exciting Fall Quarter concept art, a new color, and a new Mutation, it's been a really creative month for us.
Koa and Sark are hard at work on the back end, creating the systems that power the game. We've got functioning inventories, and Koa was able to have a Beast successfully use a healing potion in the Wild Area! I'm making headway on our intro quest, working in tandem with the art team to create assets to bring our very first area to life.
All in all: some solid progress this month!
Also, for Tumblr users: the August update didn't get posted here (I apologize!), but you can read it here.
Inventory System
This month, we focused on refining Mythaura’s inventory system, with special attention on making starting items function as expected. One of the most exciting additions is the Satchel feature. The satchel begins with 18 slots and can be expanded using non-premium currency, allowing for plenty of space to bring essentials on your adventures.
When preparing to explore, only provisions can be transferred from your stash to the satchel, but along the way, you’ll be able to pick up and store all types of loot. Additionally, the first row of your satchel is now displayed as a hotbar while exploring, enabling quick use of items like the Godspeed Potion, which boosts your movement speed, or a Torch to light your way in the dark.
However, be cautious—if you’re defeated while exploring, you’ll drop your satchel, leaving your items behind. You’ll need to return to the floor you were defeated on to recover it. If you’re defeated again before retrieving your original satchel, those items will be lost for good.
Fall Quarter (2024) Concepts
It’s the first day of Fall Quarter 2024, which means we’ve got new Quarterly Rewards for Sponsors to vote on on our Ko-fi page!
Which concepts would you like to see made into official site items? Sponsors of Bronze level or higher have a vote in deciding. Please check out the Companion post and the Glamour post on Ko-fi to cast your vote for the winning concepts!
Votes must be posted by October 27, 2024 at 11:59pm PST in order to be considered.
All Summer 2024 Rewards are now listed in our Ko-fi Shop for individual purchase for all Sponsor levels at $5 USD flat rate per unit. As a reminder, please remember that no more than 3 units of any given item can be purchased. If you purchase more than 3 units of any given item, your entire purchase will be refunded and you will need to place your order again, this time with no more than 3 units of any given item.
Summer 2024 Glamour: Corona Dragon
Summer 2024 Companion: Venomous Stalker
Summer 2024 Solid Gold Glamour: Solid Gold Griffin (Young)
Custom Color Contest Winner
In another round of incredible color concepts pitched to our team, we came away with an exciting new color, courtesy of user Noxith: Canyon!
Their reference images were canyons with a beautiful gradient of reds and oranges, along with other geographical features of the American Southwest, such as mesas.
Canyon adds a wonderful richness to the Mythauran color wheel. We encourage you to share your Canyon creations made in the Beast Creator with us!
New Mutation: Celestial
Astrology plays no small part in Mythauran culture, so perhaps it's not such a surprise that the genes of some Beasts born in Mythaura are mutated to show a map of brightly glowing constellations around their bodies.
As a reminder, Mutations are not Specials that can be applied via item. Instead, a Beast can rarely be born with a Mutation or they can rarely be obtained via a late-game boss encounter.
Mythauran Astrology: October
The month of October is referred to as Greenbright's Close, representing the official beginning of autumn and the winding down of greenery as foliage turns gold and red. This month is also associated with the constellation of the Physician and the malachite stone.
Mythaura v0.32
Dependency upgrades were made to improve stability.
Implemented new inventory services
Created satchels and added services to manage dropping and retrieving them.
Added energy and position tracking to wild area sessions.
Implemented filtering and context actions for inventories.
Starting items were created for each class and are automatically delivered to the satchel at game start.
Added battle item structure and functionality.
Added the ability to use an item from your satchel in battle.
Added functionality for health & energy-related items.
Added functionality for revival items.
A Hotbar with adjustable keybindings has been added to the UI when exploring.
A semi-final version of each skill tree was fully populated and began implementing said skills.
Thank You!
Thanks for sticking through to the end of the post, we always look forward to sharing our month's work with all of you--thank you for taking the time to read. We'll see you around the Discord.
We are also keeping all those impacted by Hurricane Helene in our thoughts. We hope you and your loved ones are all safe.

The Northern Bastards: Part 6. Series Complete.
Let us be honest with one another. I saw two unpleasant northern white guys and then blacked out for a few months to write an angst and smut laden long fic as a character exploration to address their emotional issues. Good times. I'm sure this doesn't say anything about things I need to personally unpack in real life.
Thank you to everyone who has been so kind about the writing in this unexpected series, I reckon it's the best character and thematic work I've ever written so far haha. I really hope this does the resolution justice for anyone that has been following along, I pulled out all the stops I could think of, and I thank anyone who hasn't if you have stuck around in spite of this indulgent, questionable, and oddly meaningful interlude.
It has "Goodbye" in the title. I've marked the series as "Complete". The summary says it's their final meeting and it even has "Enemies to Lovers" and "Explicit Consent" tags. If you still think this isn't the last installment, well well, looks like I'm not the one in denial after all...
Anyway, here it is. The finale. The climax. The Sixth Night Stand.
Godspeed, fellas.
Six Times to Say Goodbye
Words: 7,048
Rating: Explicit
Tags: Sexually Explicit Content, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Enemies to Lovers, Explicit Consent, Bittersweet
Summary: Rugan and Aradin want the same thing. But only one of them can have it. Or is it both? Or neither? Something’s got to give, and it’s going to be that ridiculous act they’ve been putting on.
✨ Link on AO3 ✨
P.s. An edit. I was still lying to myself. It's not the end. Lol.

Current on MSQ for Dawntrail! No spoilers, I did enjoy it a lot and actually think it's structurally stronger than Endwalker.
Not perfect--imo the Scions and WoL in particular seriously lacked development. Two pitfalls I've seen in characterization with more experienced creators have been treating characters like 'voices of reason' (so they're presumed right about basically anything they say) and defining characterization off of external conflict. So when that conflict isn't there, the person has no idea who the character is or how else they could possibly grow and change. It looks like that may be happening with WoL and Scions imo, and shit's frustrating because it's not necessary when they all have underutilized angles to explore. I am still very sure Lahabrea is returning imminently so it's not like I don't have any idea where the story could go in the future lol. I do think Square Enix has been pretty bad about pacing that overall though, contributed mainly by Endwalker. As a follow-up to defeating the cosmic incarnation of existential despair, saving a person and going more intimate would be a beautiful follow-up imo. But in the meantime, it feels like there are some insane missed opportunities with the Scions and Warrior of Light like I said. Endwalker felt like SE was rushing on the one hand, and on the other didn't know how to organize to have enough time to adequately address everything they wanted to at the quality level they wanted to. Dawntrail I think they told a really lovely story for Tural (and everything around Plan 9), foiled phenomenally with what preceded and sets the stage for what I anticipate. I really love everything surrounding Mamook. I like Wuk Lamat and think she radiates shonen hero energy lol. I'm not surprised some people don't like her but also you can't please everyone and I think she's very well constructed as a character so fuk da haterz. While I'm still living in Lahaland, if people don't do Wuk Lamat/Sphene what is even the point of fandom really? I have seen the Bakool Ja Ja thirsting. I am not thirsting, but find it hilarious and say godspeed to people who are. Do think Bakool Ja Ja is a good character.
When a certain character was killed because their opponent had a spare life, I was basically screaming at the screen LET ME FIGHT I CAN TAKE HIM. DON'T JUST STAND THERE LET ME DO IT I'VE KICKED THE ASS OF EVERY GOD. THIS IS AN INVASION YOU DON'T NEED ME IN RESERVE JUST LET ME NAIL THIS RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW. I weep for Lalafell mothers everywhere giving birth to human-sized babies.

I wrote one (1) fic where I explored dissociative amnesia based on my own experiences and it was such a nerve wracking thing 😭 to this day I'm still scared someone's gonna get upset w me about it.
So like. Godspeed. Pls continue putting out these kinds of content. I need more tic disorders stuff that isn't making fun of coprolalia 😭 (not in the sense that you should write it, but more that I wish posting stuff like that you do might make people stop being weird about it. Wishful thinking but gosh)
Oh do I know that feeling! Every day I live in fear that some freak is gonna type out a callout for me, because I draw Vlad with self harm scars :,) Sometimes I consider deleting my entire blog just to prevent that from ever happening.... It can be haunting to share your lived experience through fanart, since people will either be assholes about you projecting (best case scenario), or they'll construct a narrative where you, the person suffering with these issues, are the sole reason mentally ill people aren't taken seriously. As if living what you write/draw about wasn't harrowing enough....
I hope soon the day will come when you, myself, and anyone else will be confident and comfortable sharing our life through fan works of our comfort characters in peace. Just like you saw my posts and felt seen, I can promise you others will find your work and see themselves, and their struggles, in it! It's people like you that make me less afraid to be myself online :) and I think your art (if you wish to share it) will make others more at ease too <3 We are all just humans living our human life, but not all aspects of life will be shown in mainstream fiction, so it's up to us internet weirdos to take it upon ourselves to share our experiences! So other internet weirdos can see themselves in fan works of things that bring them joy :)

love love love all of your writing this fic has been getting me through the past few months <3333 my question is have either acswy mike or will ever taken a biology class/lab at their respective colleges? what did they think of it?
(this question brought to u by the dreaded lab report i am currently writing)
hope you all have a great day!!!
hi! this answer is brought to you by the gc’s resident biology student and number one hater of intro level bio classes/labs specifically so it will probably be a lot longer than what you were looking for 🫡
first of all you are so brave and i’m wishing you the best of luck bc i also cannot write lab reports to save my life and i love science and write for a hobby so idk how that happened but godspeed! secondddd i dooooo think both mike and will who are smarty smart nerds and losers probably are interested by the subject in a very abstract kind of way — aka they probably think it’s super cool but have no real desire to explore that further in a classroom environment. i do also think that their colleges’ gen ed requirements probably mean that they have to take some kind of science class for natural science credits or something but i think they both cheat the system a little by getting those through classes without that time demand! a very personal and self indulgent hc of mine is that mike is a marine biology enthusiast so he probably takes marbio 100 or something freshman year :^) i think my school also has likeee a dino class (?) that is known for being very easy but very interesting and he absolutely for sure takes something like that as well! to me will also takes something that is easy On Purpose bc he is getting a graphic design degree and will not need this class as a prerequisite for anything but to me he’s an astro 100 guy through and through. maybe even 150 or 200 if he likes his prof and the material!
tldr - in this universe they definitely do not take a bio class in college (unless marbio and its subsequent lab counts) bc it’s not required for their degree and it’s probably also very time intensive/a threat to their gpas that they are smart enough to avoid but i do think they have an interest in science and scratch that itch through other classes to knock their general education requirements out of the way!
#they are nerds and they are losers#i think they would think bio is cool for sure! but also like. intro level courses have a reputation for being scary and like#the gpa impact is not worth it if you don’t need it you feel#asks

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
And happy Alentine's Ay to to anyone who didn't get any V or D on this special day. Eitherway, I have just the 8 fics to make your heart fluttering. (Also, as an effort to beat the allegations that I only write sad fics!)
I curated a playlist of my favorite love songs here 💘
THINNING. Bangchan x reader. (s,f)
It's a classic friends-to-lovers. I surprised myself because I personally thought Chan wouldn't fit that trope. Why? Because I would catch feelings right away without being his friend first. fyi, this fic is inspired by a Reddit thread.
Fave quote: "But people oftentimes hide behind the 'actions speak louder than words' and that makes them okay with love left unsaid. No one is a mind reader. If you love someone, they want you to verbalize how you feel. This is real life, not a chess game."
PEACH. Lee Know x reader. (s, a whole lot of f)
The idea was born from the fact that Minho likes strange smells (e.g gasoline, concrete, etc) and he likes them because they hold certain memories for him. It's a one-shot with a sprinkle of breeding kink. One of my favorite old works of mine and there's a cameo from Soonie.
Fave quote: “You are one ripe, juicy peach,” he said against your lips, “and everybody wants a taste.”
PIED PIPER. Changbin x reader. (s,f)
I think I created a dangerous Changbin in this fic but do I regret it? Not at all. Think of campus bad boy Changbin who knows how to seduce you just right. Seductive and a little messy, just how I like it.
Fave quote: "One more look in the mirror and he gets the assurance that he doesn't need to be insecure about his body, he knows he'll never fit into everyone's standard but he feels good about himself. That's why girls are crazy for him. He is so sure of himself and it shows."
ONE DANCE. Hyunjin x reader. (s,f)
I never wrote a fic this fast. It's smut with a simple plot and not going to lie, I loved it so much. I'm writing the full fic on this from the mc pov, hope I'll be able to release it soon. And oh I recommend listening to Frank Ocean's Pyramid as you read it.
Fave quote: "His worry replaced with the guilt of ever doubting your feelings for him, but on top of that, he feels the happiest to know that you are his. He's indeed so lucky to have your love for free."
DOTING. Han x reader. (s,f)
It's dorky, awkward, and bizarrely cute (?) I got inspired by an episode of Black Mirror that I come back to from time to time. I promise you it has no grim ending, but you'll learn a lot of new random facts from reading it.
Fave quote: "If humans truly are made of star stuff, he believes you are made from the brightest star in the universe because he refuses to believe that he is made of the same thing. As he stares at your body he changes his mind almost immediately, he believes you are made of outer space and he wants to explore."
GODSPEED. Felix x reader. (s,f,a)
It tells about a relationship that forces one to be out of its comfort zone. I tried to capture every bit of Felix in it and it's my favorite Felix fic second close to Twin Flame. I know there's angst in it but trust me, the pain is worth it in the end.
Fave quote: "You can’t stay stagnant in a relationship just because it feels comfortable. You were too comfortable and that was why the space scared you both."
ONE PROPOSITION. Seungmin x reader. (s,f)
Do you also think that love is just... yuck??? If yes, then let Seungmin change your mind. It's cute but not on the cringe side (or I hope so) it's rom-com worthy and Seungmin is so Seungmin in it with his square shoulders and he's a good kisser and and and...
Fave quote: "Love is some hocus pocus shit, got you completely bewitched."
MILK. I.N x reader. (s,f)
Just like the title itself, a love story that is so simple and sweet. It doesn't have, let's say, 'the happiest of ending' but I like it how it is. A love that asks nothing, it's as pure as milk.
Fave quote: "They remind me that there are still some innocence and purity in this world. And the way they see the world with so much curiosity and full of wonder, I wish I could relive that again,” he said with a sigh.
“To experience everything for the first time all over again,” you added while looking up at the blue sky."
-
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Remember that the greatest love of all is the love you have for yourself, or that's what the one Celine Dion song taught me. ily 🤟🏻💘

Never fear, your anon is here!! 🎶 Hope you had a great start of the week.
I have a few questions for you, dear giftee.
What would you have liked Netflix to explore more with the show: life inside the castle?— as in day to day life or more emphasis on the classes— or life on the Otherworld?— as in world building, creatures, places...
What do you think is the biggest regret/misconception Musa and Riven have towards one another as their relationship (cruelly taken from us) develops?
Until next time ✨
You’re back!! And with such wonderful questions for me to get carried away over (foreshadowing).
1. Definitely would’ve loved to see more of the Otherworld! Like, Netflix literally had it in the name — a whole other world — and they chose to just give us the tiniest of glimpses into it?! Egregious. Literal robbery. There was a whole globe of places to explore.
Also, the possibilities for Flora (hehe) and fauna!! We got a really underwhelming jumble of plants and herbs for healing and combat, sure, but where’s the alchemy?! Are there lust or luck potions? Invisibility potions… can a light fairy just bottle that shit up and sell it to give a non-fairy 30 seconds of invisibility? Same for other fairies! Can I, a civilian, just go to a shop and buy a fireball? Or would this be more underground/black market stuff — bc not everyone can be fairies, right.
Also we only saw bad/evil creatures (+ the contents of Sky and Silva’s stable). But where are the mermaids?! Sirens, phoenixes, harpies.. can mice have antlers? Can gators have fur? Where’s our bestiary, I need to know.
2. Oooh there are so many fandom headcanons for this that I love. But one of the things (that maybe hasn’t been explored as much?) I feel would be a big wedge that drives tensions between them in the future is Musa throwing herself into being a specialist to avoid confronting her magic.
We know Netflix loved to add things and then never follow through on them and I think one of those would be not following up on Riven’s extremely strong reaction to Musa saying she wants to be a specialist. Like, he tried to drive that point home to her particularly brutally for someone who’s blasé about so many things (well, except the existence of mind fairies in general lol).
And sure, the quickest takeaway from that reaction was the ‘protective’ side of it, showing Musa that fighting is brutal and her safety is not something to play around with and that he might even fear for that safety…
But I do think there’s more than a bit of hurt pride and resentment in his reaction too. I think it showed how important being a specialist was to Riven. That it’s something he’s put so much work into, something that he truly excels at, and for her to just claim something he owns with his entire being as a last resort for being magic-less after a few days?? That’s insulting af. The fact that Dane didn’t see as big of a problem with it while Riven did also further drives that home.
So yeah, even though the end of s2 showed us what sparring could look like for those two (which is indeed delicious), I do think some of the resentment from that moment would bubble up for Riven the longer Musa continues to avoid her powers (no matter how talented she is).
Um, well… I should stop here before I spiral (more). And godspeed with these responses, my lovely person !

Godspeed to the dude making those death battle scripts. Kurumi vs Homura is arguably the most connection heavy matchup Ive seen. To quote the connections section from a GODDAMN ESSAY (5000+ WORDS!) about Kurumi vs Homura “Why Kurumi Vs Homura Is Based”:
the connections between Kurumi and Homura is that both are supernatural, anime gunslingers from the early 2010s with chronokinesis (time manipulation). These powers are symbolized by a circular object (Zafkiel for Kurumi and a shield for Homura), as well as a gem that serves as their life force, and the source of their powers (Sephira Crystal for Date A Live spirits and Soul Gems for magical girls). Shattering it, costs their lives. As powerful as their abilities seem, it runs on a limited resource and both must also replenish their lifeforce via draining it through others (Homura must drain a witch’s grief seed to replenish her soul gem and Kurumi must refill her “time” by draining it through others). They are among the scariest of their kind who put on cold fronts and act as outcasts but this is to hide the burdens they place on their shoulders as they believe they’re the only ones who can. Which is difficult to do when giving in to despair can bring about disaster to not only themselves but everyone else around them (Kurumi risks going Inverse and Magical Girls in MM turn into witches when their soul gem corrupts), and they almost do so. They both find themselves living as regular school students before being tricked by higher powers into becoming what they are (Mio and Kyubei) and this leads them on a revenge plot relating to traveling back in time to kill those responsible for their predicaments (Mio/The Spirit of Origin and Walpurgisnacht) which in turn, would spare the fates of many potential future victims. They also have gone through countless death loops for the sake of protecting the protagonist (Madoka and Shido) from their deaths who both have an infatuation for (albeit for different personal reasons). They fail countless times, over and over again until the very person they’ve sworn to protect becomes the very reason they succeed (Madoka had beaten the Walpurgisnacht and took the suffering of all future magical girls/witches while Shido fought DEM industries head on with the help of Ratatoskr and the spirits). Both also gain new abilities as a result of this (Kurumi gains Nia’s <Rasiel> angel when she steals it from Westcott and Homura gains the ability to manipulate the memories of others in the new timeline Madokami creates, as well as becoming Devil Homura when she steals some of Madokami’s power). Both also come from series that serve as deconstructions to the genres they are a part of (The Harem genre for Date A Live and The Magical Girl genre for Madoka Magica). As you can see, they have quite a bit in common and because of this, it presents an interesting theme of magical gun wielding time manipulators with heavy burdens via a time loop. Which is something we’ve never seen on any VS show, let alone Death Battle and this matchup pulls it off a lot better than their alternatives but we’ll save that for later. What I like the most about it though, it explores something next to none of their other matchups do: their characters. What makes this matchup great is how similar Kurumi and Homura are as characters. It explores the tragedy of their backstories, how both had their naivete used against them by higher powers. It explores the regret they suffer, the burdens they place on themselves, their facades as outcasts hiding this.
Fascinating.
