how the blackrock swatters felt after they raided katana home and I think murdered him and ruined a friendship because they felt like it was silly >_<

SCREW TWITTER!

I've made an official announcement that I'm moving away from Twitter. This blog right here was made about 2 years ago, but has gone unused (save for me liking a few posts and following the wogot3 blog). What really pushed me to do this was the per-post wordcount limit which made formulating image captions 100x harder than it should be!!! >:(

Now it's time to start anew. I brought this little guy along with me (with his owner's permission, of course). To celebrate, he shall get not one, but two bowls of fresh, ketchup-mixed spaghetti!

...

.....

Was that knocking on my window, just now?

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 4

"I did what was right."

"You did what benefited you and only you."

Could the warden have been right?

Medkit sits there, staring at Biograft as he recovers from overheating and attempts at saving battery for the rest of the trip. The two are on their way to the Church of the True Eye, Medkit has to report back about what happened no matter what. However, the pair are currently resting at Sword's. Biograft lays in Sword's hammock, "sleeping," though he can't actually recharge without Subspace’s crystal.

I can't do anything.

I can't do anything but watch as his newly grooved existence runs along the iron rails laid before him by my own. There’s no lever, no other track, and I could close my eyes, but watching is the least I owe him. From the rifled frozen heart of the mountains to the ineludible sand of the desert he now erringly rushes forward. He’s smart; but there’s intelligence which lies with woe or that which lies with insanity. In some souls are the wings of the swords who hegemonize this world which allows them to dive into the darkest gorges, soar out of them again and again, and become impervious to the wills of many. Such that even if they were to fly forever in those georges, they’re in the mountains, making even their lowest swoop higher than that of any plain bird’s soar. He’s just now growing, with so much potential and light. Do I have it in me to watch if he falls the same as I?

Biograft’s awakening quickly stole Medkit’s attention from his thoughts. “I am no longer overheating and believe I have deleted a sufficient amount of data, my remaining battery should now last a week."

“The church isn’t that far, which should leave us most of that time to figure out a battery for you,” he’s cut off by Sword entering the room.

“Hey Med, how’s Bio- Oh, you’re awake! How are you feeling?” He stepped forward and rested his arm on Medkit’s shoulder. He wasn’t all that sure about hosting a murderous robot, but Medkit’s adamance, and offering to charge him less from then on, ment this was important. Medkit didn’t give many details of what happened, but he did mention this Biograft being sentient and that the two just escaped from Subspace.

He met Sword with silence. He’s never felt before, how would he even be able to describe it? He has the vocabulary, but words are too subjective and feelings don’t always follow their denotation. It’s too complex. That’s without the added burden of asking if it’s even real. All experiences of life are different, but is his even valid? He can’t even articulate how he’s doing in this present moment. This is a train of thought best saved for later. He won’t lie, but he doesn’t know the truth. He simply says, “That is an overwhelming question,” and leaves it there.

“I should’ve thought about that, hah! Sorry, let me ask something different then, hmm,” Biograft wanted to interrupt and say the apology was unnecessary, but Sword spoke before he got the chance. “Still think my techniques are outdated?”

Biograft stares at him for a moment before speaking, “Incredibly so.” He pauses, “However, there is merit to it, age often brings either value or irrelevance. I believe you’re making a good attempt at having it be the first option of the two.” His words surprise Sword, but it seems to convince him that this Biograft is different from the ones he’s fought before.

Sword smiles at Biograft, it confuses him, but at least Sword seems pleased with his response. Medkit speaks up, “We should get going.”

“Leaving already? Dang! You sure you two are good to leave?” He knows they have to leave for the cult eventually, but he wouldn’t mind their company for a bit longer.

“As ready as we can be.”

“So not at all?”

“Correct.”

As Medkit had predicted, it did not take them long to arrive at the church. The two are greeted by Scythe, “Aw there ya are ‘Kit! Why if I didn't know any better I woulda thought you were tryna run,” she steps forward, looking Biograft up and down, “I see you brought a new toy with ya.”

“I can explain.” Biograft notices a new hesitancy in Medkit’s voice.

“Well of course ya are! Let’s go find some place else to talk.” There’s been some sort of underlying threat lacing itself in her words, but Biograft can’t grasp what. Medkit, however, knows it all too well. Scythe begins to walk and motions for the pair to follow behind. Medkit’s hands tense, something makes Biografts shake.

The two stick close as they follow Scythe, eventually making it to an office like room with a large round table. She motions for them to sit at one end while she walks to the other. “Now then! Explain before I disassemble yer lil friend here.” The way her tone didn’t match her words reminded Biograft of Subspace, but this felt different. This felt different. He should be used to violence aimed his way, being in phights, having been part of Blackrock’s security force, being close to his creator, but this wasn’t the same. There are stakes, this existence is now the only one he has, there’s no coming back now if he’s killed. He won’t claim to be alive, but he will fight for this life with every part of himself.

Medkit knew she would probably rip Biograft apart regardless, “This Biograft, he’s sentient, we got away from Subspace-”

“Hold your horses there Doc, ain’t we supposed to be keepin’ ya safe from that scientist?”

“That is the deal we have but-”

“Now how exactly are we gonna keep ya safe from him if yer actively bringin’ his lil experiments ‘round the place, mm?

“He’s different!”

“Ya say that but all I see here is a security risk.”

Biograft stood up, “I can prove it.” he pauses for a moment to rephrase his words, “let me prove myself.” Medkit looks at him, clearly shocked, wanting to stop him.

Surprise managed to slip through Scythe’s expression. Oh, this was gonna be fun, “Well, well, well~ it can speak fer itself. Hmmm, you know what, yeah, I’ll give ya one shot,” she walks to the door and holds it open, “Come along now~” Medkit goes to follow behind Biograft, but Scythe raises her hand and shoots him a look, “You’re stayin’ here, Broker will be here to talk to ya in a bit. You can give him yer full report.” Medkit goes to say something, but flinches back, a pain shooting through his eye as Scythe’s glass one temporarily gains a teal tint. He sits back down and crosses his arms, refusing to look at her.

Her smirk grows as she turns to Biograft, “Now then, shall we?

Scythe led him to one one of the canyons near the church, as the two walked she asked, “I assume yer lookin to stay here? With him?”

“Yes.” For the first time since all of this had started, he could answer without hesitation. Staying by Medkit’s side, he wasn’t sure what made him seek such a thing so desperately, but he knew he had to do whatever it took.

“And how exactly ya think this’ll work hm?” Scythe stopped and turned to look at him.

Confused, he asked, “In what regard?”

“Well I need some,” She paused, “Reassurance. I could put in a good word for you to the Father, but how do we know this ain’t a long con for you and yer creator?” She began to step closer, “Or that yer any different from the tons of you I’ve dismantled before?” Standing face to face, inches apart, “How do we know yer a good fit for the family?”

“I’ve abandoned all of my connection to Blackrock-”

She puts her hand up to cut him off, “I don’t mean for you to tell me," She yanks him forward, "I want you to show me.”

The two exchange blows for a while. After, Scythe takes a seat on a nearby cliff edge and motions for him to sit next to her, “A’ight, that’s good enough, I get the point yer different, but I still got some things I wanna ask.” He sits next to her, “Why did you leave?”

He immediately goes to excuse his actions, “I had to-”

“No. Listen kid, I’ve fought…” she vaguely gestures at him, “you, before. I know you do insane amounts of calculatin’ and figurin’ out the ‘most optimal actions’ to take for yer directives n all that. So out of every choice you coulda made in that moment, what made leavin’ the best?” She observed him, even if he wasn’t a demon, there’s something in him. Something that can be used.

He froze. He didn’t know? No, he did know, he just didn’t want to admit it. He could’ve just gotten Medkit out of there and returned to Blackrock. He could have returned to Subspace’s side and just held him back until Medkit got away. He didn’t have to be here. He didn’t have to be here, but something inside him needed him to. Needed Medkit. Medkit’s absence hurt him, and now he had a chance to be by his side again. This is one shot at it. Biograft gave up every part of his previous identity for this. It won’t be like what it was before Medkit left, far from it, but that didn’t matter. Whether he was sentient, or not, didn’t matter. Medkit would be here, and that’s all he needed. “He did.”

Scythe smiles, seeming more than pleased with his answer. “Say, you need a battery right? Er, well, some way of chagrin? I hear ‘Kits crystal aint work for you, I might have somethin’ that will.”

He looks at her surprised, “Really?”

She nods, “It comes with conditions of course, but you’ll join the family, I’ll vouch for ya, and you’ll get to work alongside our dear medic. You gotta … earn the power you’ll be using from the father, but I think you’ll make a fine vessel for it.” She reaches into a pocket and pulls out a glass eye, “Here, it’s even the one ‘Kit was s’ppossed to have! His eye was sewn shut before he joined, which is why he’s allowed to have an eyepatch.”

He takes the glass eye, “I assume you’ll want me to change my display?”

She nods, “You’ll be required to yeah, I know you don’t have proper eyes, so something to show only one ‘ll work fine,” she thinks for a moment, “Maybe you change one to a flower!”

The three meet again in the workshop. It was nowhere near what he used to have in Blackrock, but it was functional, and Subspace was nowhere to be seen. Medkit steps up to Biograft, putting his hands on his shoulders, before giving him a tight embrace. Biograft was quick to reciprocate. Medkit whispered to him, “You’re still a weapon in everyone else's eyes, just in someone else's hands now, and it’s my fault. I’m sorry.”

The two pull apart and Biograft lays on the rooms center workbench, "I didn't leave for freedom, I left for you."

As much as I hate to admit it... I play Roblox and there's only 10 good games out of the infinite pile of slop

Regretavator

An infinite elevator based game where you try to survive various floors. Tense action and platforming with a lot of heart. It has mostly good queer and neurodiverse reputation in it's characters but some characters are kinda problematic in their writing IMO Non-invasive purchases only for tokens used for mostly cosmetic items or random events.

Pressure

Inspired by ULTRAKILL, Iron Lung, Doors, and Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion. Go through what feels like 150+ doors in a horror laboratory to retrieve a crystal for a shady company, and die a lot. Babygirl Sebastian. Non-invasive purchases only spent for revives you can already get for free

Pizza Game

HOLY HELL IT'S PEAK An EPIC first person shooter, tough as nails rouge-like, and epic animation style NO PURCHASES IT'S FREE GET IT

MUGEN

A surreal horrors-ish experience. I... hello? Non-invasive purchases

Super Blox 64

Inspired by Mario 64. A 3D platformer. You play as a blue robot trying to collect ice-creams to freeze the sun. Pretty fun Non-invasive purchases, you can only really buy 2 bonus stages that are purely optional

PHIGHTING

A simple 3D, PVP, 3rd person, hero shooter with a lot of dialog and high quality animations. Purchases that aren't exactly invasive or non-invasive

Block Tales

Paper Mario if it was a dedicated homage to Roblox Really good with great animation Non-invasive purchases

Cave Story

This is literally just Cave Story. All of cave story No purchases I think

Deepwoken?

Kinda toxic permadeath RPG. I haven't played it tbh apparently pretty good?

Merc Fleet

3rd person arena shooter. Really good PvP game with tight controls and fast movement It is INCREDIBLY FURRY

[phightinghottakes]

On the topic of fanfiction,

The thread for writing and fanfics on official Phighting Discord has gone completely to shit.

Pardon my language but holy fuck. I am not completely caught up but tl;dr is author of Heart of Iron (in3b) got banned due to advertising his request book, which mentioned smut being allowed afaik? A mod was pinged and in3b was banned

Right after he was banned the thread started talking shit about him, the most prevalent point being that HoI discussions has flooded the chats for too long

Imo it was definitely unwarranted? And he honestly shouldn’t have been banned like a warning probably would’ve been the better choice but yeah

Most recent news from Boggio I guess !!

Every day I think I can’t lose any more faith in this community and it consistently proves me wrong.

[kintmints]

I have noticed there isn’t much heart of iron (phighting) content here on tumblr nor anywhere else so I shall gift you my headcanon design and other hc stuff of sixer, you’re welcome for your food,,,

poor baby,, everything happened in almost a span of just a few days for them,,,,, EUEUEUHHUSHHSHHSBH…… 😭😭😭

[evicted-processor]

The last thing you'll see is the starry night sky

(Heart of Iron chapter 24 spoilers below cut)

[phightingconfessions]

I can’t read the darker or more dramatic phighting fanfics coz the characters still look geometric in my head 90% of the time 😭😭 I just can’t take them seriously. IE: Heart of Iron, absolutely amazing fic but in my head the bios looked geometric and no one had hair and I was using the blood-is-the-same-colour-as-the-horns headcanon for most of the fic despite it being described otherwise (extremely stupid of me), so the scenes that we’re supposed to be serious looked like splatter paint 😭😭😭😭

me with object show fics

sometimes it's hard for me to take them seriously bc I. i just imagine silly little objects running around .. (I think I haven't read an osc fic in so long I CANT FIND GOOD ONES THAT ARENT SUPER SHORT FOR THE ONE SHOW I CARE ABOUT. AUGHH)

[computer-cornflakes]

fan works are awesome. i love a lot of the fanart and heart of iron is easily one of my favorite phighting fics

i.. didn't really have much family, other than my creator. he wasn't too nice to me.

they mostly get it right, since us biografts don't really give a shit about gender. too busy killing

i use multiple names, including biograft

i have broker plushie..............which is kind of the only official phighting merch

it has the capability to happen in canon, so yeah i guess

nothing really majorly bothers me

most biografts aren't sentient, but there are a select few who are (canon has none). i wasn't, but now that i'm in a human body, i am

i have my own drawings of how i looked

played phighting. saw the dude. few weeks later was like "yeah that's me"

lots of stuff, even though it could have technically happened

ohh yes. i have very vivid memories and it kind of sucks but also kinda rocks

fictionkin & fictive ask game!!

/pt: fictionkin & fictive ask game!! end of pt/

i really want to explore my identities a bit more so i decided to make my own ask game! feel free to reblog, please send an ask to whoever you reblogged it from if you can, and enjoy!

this doesn’t follow an emoji/number system because i find those hard to keep track of. questions below!

What do you think of fan works? (Such as fanfiction, fanart, etc.)

What do you think of your in-source family/friends? (A brother, a best friend, etc. that is close to who you were/are!)

What does fandom get right and/or wrong? (Such as gender or pronoun headcanons, or portrayals in fanfiction and fanart!)

Do you like the name you got in source, or do you go by a different one?

Do you own any merch from your source? If not, would you like to?

What do you remember from your past in-source, and does it align with canon media?

Do you dislike your source? Does anything in it bother you? (Such as the portrayal of a friend!)

What does canon media get right and/or wrong about you? (Or, how different are you from canon?)

What did you look like?

How did you find out you were/are this/these character/s?

Is there anything canon never showed that you remember happening?

Do you have any memories you visit a lot?

[spiralstereo]

phighting oc!!

hahaha...hai chat (avoiding banhammer fullbody reference sheet)....

this is one of my phighting ocs!! you might recognize them....but this is glaive!! so lemme tell you more about them (i love them)

Actual name is 'Iron Lotus'- but they go by Glaive because they're blending into society. They currently live in Crossroads

They're nonbinary!! They/them pronouns, & more masculine then feminine. They're okay with masculine terms used with them

A deity, but chose to let themselves be forgotten due to them being overwhelmed by grief from losing their sibling, Mystic Tide (the blue deity in this post)

Their existence is a myth, & most people (even deities) see 'Iron Lotus' as a symbol of justice, a symbol of bravery

Their mother was one of the past wardens, Trident (another oc), she was the only warden to get removed from her position due to circumstances. Trident meant the world to them, & they did not take her passing well (they do not handle grief well at all). Their fighting style has many similarities to Trident's, they hold her dearly in their heart.

They are not on good terms with their biological mother, Dual (Dual is a they/them but prefers feminine terms used when referring to them). Dual is very much evil, & uses people, they were the reason Trident was removed from her position & also the reason Mystic Tide is gone. They do not consider themselves to be Dual's child.

Good friends with Banhammer. They joined Phighting as a special guest, & the two bonded almost immediately. Banhammer learned of their deity status later

Since Trident was a warden, Iron Lotus had a hard time not getting super emotional with Banhammer & stuff. He reminds them of her ALOT & the fact that all the wardens wore that armor....it took them awhile to not look at him & see their mother. Trauma!!

They're very very very traumatized. Also kinda...an awkward mess. They're scared to get close to people because....loosing them & stuff. They care alot about the people they do bond with though, like Banhammer. They're besties fr. But other then that, they're outgoing & skilled.

Please ask me questions about them. I love them. Please chat
