[courtesycalling]

It's a stylized version of their surname "Mizuta" (ミズタ):

Dedf1sh's full name is Acht Mizuta （ミズタ アハト）. In Side Order she goes by given name in the English localization and surname in the Japanese version.

"#if they want [Hopes] to be canon [...]" To knock over the Agarthans‚ Hopes makes them even dumber. If they can mind control Edel‚ why don't they just do that after CF ends? Like I get underestimating someone you consider your weapon but for a shadowy group that does unethical things‚ there's no "get rid of them" plan? Like the Hegemon pokeball is a surprise weapon that can devastate people around her (i.e. that AG cutscene). Or why not just isolate and bodysnatch them since Shez isn't around to play metal detector.

No idea how to close this anon ask‚ so I'll just end this by saying Agarthans are item hoarders waiting to use them all on the final boss (they think it's Sothis‚ disregarding that Byleth is depowered). "Hey‚ should we awaken Nemesis?" "No‚ we can take them." "They're in the room with us..." "Disable the nukes! I can take them!"

I mean the Agarthans are like.. massive fucking idiot. They're one walking plot hole.

They have nukes? Why not use them at the end of CF? Everyone is gathered together and Rhea couldn't defend them because she's focking ded.

Magic brainwash crest? Why not use it.. ANY ANY POINT IN THE ORIGINAL GAME? It's so easy to just a "bam CREST MAGIC" and Edelgard eats shit. You can't even say that she was weakened by Dimitri because.. she is weakened in other routes during certain moments too!

They can kidnap people and take their disguise? Literally do that with more important figures in Garreg Mach than the fucking librarian what are you DOING. They got away with doing it to Cornelia of all people!

Lmao them just being item hoarders is very relatable. "NO WAIT WHAT IF WE NEED THESE WHEN THE FELL STAR SHOWS UP?" "SIR THE FELL STAR JUST CUT A HOLE THROUGH THE SKY AND KILLED SOLON" "BUT THAT'S NOT THE SAME FELL STAR IT COULD BE WORSE!!!"

[filthy-kitten-by]

flirting with a girl on Grindr like "hey if you were a puppy what breed would you be" and she hit me back with "why? you wondering what our puppies are gonna look like?" so anyway who's giving the eulogy cause im ded

[enemyoflactose]

I Finished the Rest of Battle City

@lostsomewhereinthegarden wanted to be tagged

I was honestly getting a little tired of Marik and his problems by this point in the series which is why this took so long.

Voice acting:

Marik: THEY TOOK AWAY HIS SKELETOR VOICE

Characters:

Yami: He's pretty much the same, only he completely forgives normal Marik.

Yugi: pretty much the same only he forgives normal Marik.

Joey: he died and I started crying. He's pretty good as always and was absolutely robbed of that victory.

Téa: she kept getting possessed.

Tristan: nothing new

Duke: nothing new

Ryou: ate all the donuts

Yami Bakura: he giggled and did nothing.

Ishizu: she yells in lowercase and I think that's funny

Odion: Maybe it's just the dub, but he never says he wants Marik to be safe because he loves him. He just says it's his duty and it's how he'll be accepted into his family. Idk. It's a little weird that this may be his and Marik's final moments and he doesn't once say that he loves him.

Marik: I hate you. I hate you so much.

Yami Marik: hype wore off this guy sucks and can't duel without plot armor. He also talks way too much and it gets on my nerves.

Seto Kaiba: he's so angry that Yugi beat him in his own tournament it's kinda funny. He is my savior in these last episodes.

Mokuba: he's here

Serenity: she's also here

Mai: ded

Roland: the MVP

Duels:

Duel 1: Four Way Duel

In this duel Joey, Kaiba, Yami, and Yami Marik are all dueling each other at the same time. For a little bit, everyone is targeting Joey, but Yami keeps defending him so they move on to attacking Marik.

Every time Yami defends Joey, Kaiba says something snarky and that makes Joey go "Hey man, let me duel on my own for Mai."

And Yami just begrudgingly does it. Like this man does not want Joey dueling Marik.

Marik is just in his own little corner going "AHAHAHAAA I'm so evil" and everyone ignores him.

Kaiba is trying to knock out someone. I forgot who. He wants to get all three Egyptian God Cards and make his deck even brickier.

Yami Marik loses.

Duel 2: Joey vs Yami Marik

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🪓💥PEAK💥🎉💯💯🔥💯💯❤️‍🔥⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡🦅🦅🦅

This duel is Yami Marik's only good duel, and by God is it Joey's second best (I like Joey vs Valon more).

In this duel, Yami Marik makes it a Shadow Game in which your energy gets drained if your monster is destroyed or loses attack points. Because Joey is a normal guy, he is weaker to this and therefore loses faster.

Some stuff happens and Joey was given Lava Golem. This makes him lose life points faster. Yami Marik is slowly burning him with other cards like nightmare wheel, but lava golem is cooler.

Yami Marik uses some worm things to make Joey lose more energy. Joey sacrifices them so he can summon Geilfried (idk how to spell it).

Yami Marik summons Ra Phoenix mode and destroys all of Joey's monsters. But my boy still stands.

Joey summons Gearfried and almost attacks, but then he dies.

Duel 3: Kaiba vs Yami

I kept dozing off during this duel because I was worried about Joey, soooooo I kinda have no clue what happened other than like a few things.

Kaiba and Yami are dueling in a coliseum because Kaiba is crazy.

Kaiba gives Yami Change of Heart sometime during this duel. Which makes me wonder if he always had that on hand, or if he yoinked it from Bakura. Did Bakura ever get it back?

Kaiba so summons his blue eyes at some point in this duel. And Yami summons red eyes. And that Dark Magician Paladin thing.

During this duel Kaiba and Yami attack each other with their god cards and it takes them to a vision of the past in which the gods are turned to stone and the two of them are fighting.

Yami Marik is stuck in a wall. One time I read a fic where Yami Bakura stopped time and butt fucked him there. Wild.

Yami wins by means I don't remember and Mokuba and Kaiba fight about something.

INTERMISSION

Téa gets possessed again and goes to fight Yami Marik.

Kaiba gets annoyed at Ishizu and then Joey.

Mokuba is annoyed at Kaiba.

Yami Marik and Marik are fighting during Kaiba and Joey's duel.

TéaMarik does some sick flips and then Ishizu and Yami intervene and make Yami Marik go away.

Turns out Marik is a little regretful about being the absolute worst and wants to make things right by doing not much at all because he sucks and can't do shit without help.

Téa is back.

Duel 4: Kaiba vs Joey

Joey was pissing off Kaiba and that convinced a duel for third place.

Kaiba is winning.

Joey summons Blue Eyes White Dragon from Kaiba's graveyard and this makes Kaiba so angry.

Uuuuhhhh.... Joey told Mokuba that Kaiba doesn't care about him and that made me really upset.

Some stuff happens idk I wasn't paying attention I don't really care about this rivalry.

Kaiba won and Joey got made fun of.

Final duel: Yami Marik vs Yami Yugi

Shadow game

I don't remember the first part of this duel other than Marik and Yugi are at risk of death and like I get caring about Yugi dying, but Marik kinda deserves it.

So um... Every time Yami loses life points Yugi's body starts to disappear. Same thing with Marik.

Yami summons his poker knights and then summons Slifer.

Marik Summons Ra.

Yami destroys Ra and then Summons Obelisk with A card Kaiba gave him.

Marik summons Egyptian God slime and Yami never asks what it does despite the fact that he can.

Some stuff happens and Yami uses Ragnarok and destroys everything and Marik surrenders.

HOW AND WHY MARIK SURRENDERED

While this duel is happening, Normal Marik is talking to Odion's dead body and says that everything that happened was his (Marik's) fault, and that he's sorry.

A while later, Odion wakes up and goes to save Marik. And by save I mean give him a pep talk.

He goes on and on about how Marik is good and can beat the darkness inside of him.

Marik is given a new found strength and tells Yami to attack him.

Yami attacks him and Marik has one life point left. Marik surrenders and Yami Marik dies while begging.

Marik is forgiven and I still don't think he did much to deserve it.

Afterwards

After that duel, Marik apologizes again, and then takes his shirt off to show Yami the scriptures on his back.

Yami can't read it tho so it was kinda pointless.

Marik then gives him the millennium rod and ring and Yami Bakura's lame ass who was playing spin the bottle with Dark Magician said "Thank you" because he's polite and we love him.

Kaiba says he's going to blow up the island.

Joey and the gang go check on Mai and Serenity says she ain't wake up yet, but then she wakes up because Joey juST GOT PRANKED LMAO

The Gang then find Bakura eating food because there isn't much to eat in the Shadow Realm. That makes me think that the Shadow Realm is biased towards the Bakurae because they always only get a slap on the wrist for losing.

We don't see Bakura or the Ishtar's for the rest of the episode so I'm choosing to believe they were busy adopting Bakura into their family as Marik's husband.

It takes the gang way too long to realize that they can just take the helicopter and don't have to ride in the broken aircraft.

The island explodes and the Kaibas come out in a Blue Eyes jet (there is a card of it).

This makes Joey upset.

The squad get back to Domino and Marik apologizes again, and his siblings thank Yugi and his friends for helping them.

The End

[asagirisfavpen]

The new chapter was crazy. Like wtf??? Ratstoievski (Fyodor) got the One Order??? And he has Bram's ability??? Does that mean that every time after he gets killed by an ability user he has 2 abilities??? Wasn't there like a rule that u can only have one??

Also, am I the only one that thinks that Fyodor doesn't actually care about Aya like he pretends? I'm pretty sure bro is lying again.

And wtf do u mean Teruko is an actual child??? Like, when I saw the leaks I was pretty sure she gonna be fine cuz she's an adult. Nup. My girl is like 12. She ded. Also, did I read that right or are my reading comprehension skills shit? SHE WAS MONTHS OLD WHEN SHE FOUGHT IN THE WAR??? I swear to all the Gods that could possibly exist that if I see one more person talking shit about her I'm going to jail for torture and murder.

Oh almost forgot to mention that FUKUCHI FUCKING ABSORBED THE LIQUID SHE WAS TRANSFORMED INTO AFTER BEING STABBED

And the fuck u mean Fukuchi is being fully controlled by Fyodor? Bro isn't playing fair! Like, Fyodor is (kinda) immortal, he got the One Order, he got Bram's ability ("echoes" of it, but still) and a motherfucking tripolar singularity that's as strong as a God??? Not fair. Chuuya, Verlaine, move ur asses to that airport now.

And no Ranpo??? Where is my son??? (I'm younger than him) Huh??? Is my baby ok?? Is he hurt? He gotta be alive, right? Fukuzawa, Aya and Teruko survived the thingie-thing so he probably did too. Right???

And how come we didn't get skk or sskk this month?? It's Pride Month. Asagiri is being homophobic. (Jk, I don't ship either) But hey, we finally got some Atsushi. A whole panel!

Also, I will assume that since we didn't get any more Sigma or Fyodor's memories, Sigma will wake up soon. Probably knowing how to defeat Fyodor.

And wdym Fedya just "came up" with the war?? Didn't Fukuchi see it in some vision from Ame no gozen or smth? Did Fyo just walk to him and was like "Uhm so... there will be a war in like 40 years. So we... uhm gotta eliminate the ADA. Oopsies."???

I can't anymore

So long story short, BSD is becoming Naruto (everyone is over powered and gay and idk what's going on)

[fruity-legos]

oomf

can i get Insomniac crew lore actually???? :3

OK OK

So basically Nova was the first one to get really bad nightmares and remember them clearly with the eyes and stuff

Then she was drawing the eyes on her notebook cuz drawing is coping and Jayden saw and was like wait I saw those before then they talked for *two hours* and I mean they were already friends before but they became even more close before

And then when they were walking together at one point they found max and Emil looking very tired so they asked what's wrong then they talked about the nightmares and they became this whole friendgroup and one day they were like hey we should make a school club so that others know about the nightmare situation and then Nova decided to make videos every night talking about her conspiracies and the progress of it all and yea

So thats how they met lore now umm simplified version of the characters lore under the cut

Nova you already know her dad left when she was young and her mom is an alcoholic maniac who lost custody of Nova and is now in jail. Nova spent a year and a half in the orphanage before getting adopted by oz. Also Nova needs to take meds for schizophrenia

Jayden's parents are LOADED OK. they always hang out at his house cuz its super big. Jayden had a mostly good childhood tho he never really sees his parents often because well work. He has a dog and he likes his dog very much. Oh also he has a sister in college and he has bpd

Emil was born in Brazil and moved to Brooklyn when she was five cuz yeah. Um she lives with her aunt and uncle cuz parents are ded. She came out as trans to her aunt and uncle at 13 and they don't really understand but try to be supporting unlike her other uncle he's an ass. She has big social anxiety but is slowly getting over it

Max grew up in a house full of birds and just animals in general her grandparents owns a farm. She had a great childhood- or else she thinks she did, she has a bad memory for anything relating when she was 6 to 8 and suffers with bipolar disorder, but her friends are always here for her during hard times

[newtonsheffield]

“I um… I can’t marry you right now.” DYING. DED. Oh, Anthony - poor guy, constantly being taken out at the knees, in very au in the molly-verse! You don't stand a chance, bb boy - Kate owns you now (and you like it)

Anthony’s heart’s been doing weird thumpy things ever since he sat down beside Kate nearly three hours ago. She smells really nice and her arm keeps swaying against his. And she looks so happy, so excited to be there with who she assumes is her sister. And he doesn’t mean to propose but she dropped one of her little bracelets and without thinking he knelt and held it out to her and then the entire crowd around them starts screaming even more and he heard Ben beside him cackle

“Fuck he really does go for it hey?”

It’s a little awkward, at the end of the concert when he can still taste her lips on his and Hyacinth’s practically asleep on his hip and she clears her throat.

“I’m um… I’m not going to hold you to that drink.”

His eyes widen in surprise, “Oh.”

“No, you’re… look you’re really hot actually, and you brought your siblings to a Taylor Swift concert which was really Cute I just… I’m sorry I kissed you. I just got carried away. I shouldn’t have done that.”

Anthony nodded, “Are you seeing someone?”

“No.” She shrugged. “You just… you were sweet and you picked up my bracelet and I kissed you because the entire crowd thought you were proposing and it felt awkward.”

“Well do you want to see me instead then?”

“I just told you you didn’t have to.”

“And maybe I want to. Did you think of that? Maybe I want to buy you a drink tomorrow and flirt with you somewhere you can actually hear me.”

Kate’s teeth bit into her lip and she held out her hand, “Give me your phone. You’d better call me.”

“I’ll absolutely call you.” Anthony grinned, “Aren’t you my fiancée now?”

“Maybe one day.”

Jame - alright everyone, clearly something very strange has happened her. we have each seemed to have acquired superpowers from that government testing. We've been given a gift! And whether that gift is Yeva's telekenisis

Yeva - *Не слушаю. Играю в те��рис.*

Jame - Jordan's demon transformation.

Jordan - *hiding in the shadows. in a deep gravely voice* I'm batman!

Jame - Nori's creepy tentacles, occasional yellow eyes, and teleportation abilities.

Nori - ask me how the queen of England is.

Nori - *teleporting away and back again*oh she ded ):

Jame - Luna's morphing abilities.

Luna - hey Jame, I'm a fox >:3

Emily - *crouching on the chair*I've duct tape a knife to my tail.

Jame - we have a responsibility to use these powers properly and not to abuse them for personal gain. Understand?

*everyone had already left to cause havoc except Yeva*

Jame - Yeva, do you understand?

Yeva - эмм… да, но чтобы быть уверенным, не могли бы вы повторить все, что вы только что сказали, слово в слово.

[elsa-rain-world-stuff]

Hey Artificer, I see you have some new scars, but considering you died multiple times before, do you get these scars through traumatic events? (*AHEM* KIDS DED, THEN BRANDED AND TORTURED)

and now this is the question i needed

I know it addressed to the character but let me take this one

and yeah, you absolutely right! I Have a headcanon about deaths and scars. So, Arti died many times during her war, but she isn't covered with scars, why? Why scars from the torture left then?

Traumatic experience. If the death was traumatic, there will be scar. If it wasnt (quick, expected, ect), there will be no scar. Easy!

And... yeah, you may guess, that this episode was quite traumatic for Arti.

[Housamo] Christmas Eve Transformation! Magical Amusement World [Part 1][2024]

(Santa School)

The place reflecting onto your screen was Tokyo's Santa School. However, not everyone are aware of this school's existence or what was even different about it--

[Snegurochka?] "Oh my, why, if it isn't big brother Jack that's being reflected right over there! Ho there, mister, don't be so shy and come over here!"

"… You don't want to? weren't you the one who said you wanted the two of us to go take a picture together?"

"Is it not fine to you that the two of us don't fit the picture together?"

"Geez, why are you being so stubborn, I said it's fine for you to get closer to me for the picture."

"Ohoh, there seems to be something beating really hard just now, continue being like that and you'll turn into a snowman that's carrying a drum!"

[Frost Fairy?] "Hey! Stop pulling! … Hah, is this fine now?"

[Snegurochka?] "Heheh, well then, let's go! Ito, everyone… Can you see us?"

[Snegurochka] "I am Snegurochka! … Why, that's how I wish to be remembered as."

[Jack Frost] "Jack Frost… Good grief, how did I get caught up into this.."

[All] "…"

Snegurochka peers into a screen and the girl said each and everyone's name tenderly with a smile.

The most anticipated time of the year in this world, Christmas, is said to make one of the heart thumping events. In other words, Santa is rather busy in this period.

This here is Santa school's headmaster, Ded. A huge amount of paperwork could be seen stacked and pressed against him.

[Ded]

"Let's see here.. Next are requests from stores that are in need of assistance for their customer attraction events."

The working santa's here are still fledgelings who dream and aspire to become one, going through lengths till their very last breath if they need to.

[Ded] "It is regretful to say this… But today's target goal is going to be a difficult one. We would have to reschedule our schedules, don't we?"

[Yule] "Um~ Mr. Ded? Now's a good time to say it, yes?"

[Krampus] "Erm- There is one more, but an entirely different matter that I would like the headmaster to be aware of."

[Ded] "Whaa!? Did someone get hurt? The two of you don't seem particularly unease about it."

The headmaster of this Santa school, Ded, was surprised at the arrival of his students in his office, noting that these ones skills have been progressing rather well so far.

[Krampus] "No, I'm sorry, we'll try to knock next time. It's just that you've been so absorbed and fully concentrated on your work that you've barely noticed us coming in…"

[Yule] "That's right, the main issue here is that we didn't know when's the right time to approach you about it. The truth is, you have a visitor coming and wanted to personally give their greetings to you."

From behind Ded, the window outside of the office was opened and let themselves into the room. A white wolf girl that's wearing a uniform appeared.

[Snegurochka] "… Eheheh. Long time no see, Grampa Ded!"

[Ded] "S-snegurochka!? Is that really you…!?"

[Snegurochka] "Yes! Your magical girl, Snegurochka is here! Must've been hard for you, Gramps, so I came here to help you."

[Krampus] "Ky.. KYAAAHH! You're THE Snegurochka, the real deal, the actual magical girl Snegurochka is right in front of me TODAY!?"

[Yule] "Huh!? Senior Krampus, you know her? Do you have any working relations… With this little girl?"

"… Huh, who did you say your grandfather was? That you were the headmaster's granddaughter!?"

Snegurochka was the name given when she made her first appearance, it said that if you or anyone calls out to her, Snegurochka will appear, as it was demonstrated in this principal office. Causing only disorder in the process.

[Kramps] "Snegurochka! I- I am Krampus! This year's season lending assistance, I look forward to working with you!!"

[Snegurochka] "Yeah, I'm glad to meet you too, Krampus. I'm so happy to meet a fan of mine in Santa school."

As Krampus jaw slacked open from the excitement, Snegurochka pulled out a paper and signed it with her autographed, handing it to him.

[Ded] "Uum, do any of you two know anything of Snegurochka's magical girl persona?"

[Krampus] "Headmaster Ded, you don't know anything about it!? Magical girl Snegurochka was in the number one ranking winter live action show!"

"She's one of the long reigning magical girl in tokyo according to a slew of news this season, her face has been representing the time of winter!"

"The main title of the show! The lead protagonist herself among the group of magical girls! Snegurochka's very image plays a massive role in it!"

"There have been rumors that the girl's child actor was discovered during this time of the busy winter months!!"

"Right now they were able to get a rather difficult group to get a hold of to make their theme song into completion multiple times that their fame skyrocketed from how they represent the elegant and civil outlook of the heroine to the entire world in their musical composition for the live action show that remains forevermore the--"

[Ded] "I- I see. You sure are well acquainted with these youth's colorful culture."

[Yule] "Not just that, to think you are the grandpa.. I mean, headmaster, she did claim she was your grandchild!"

[Ded] "You are right to assume so, Yule. This child, Snegurochka, is a part of me."

The man's home world was Kitezh. Ded Moroz' grandchild was bore into existence using faith.

The snow woman of the deceased, Snegurochka. Her ability to command snow fairies into doing her bidding just by existing in their presence but most importantly is that she's able to create her own followers.

That's why it is accurate to say that Snegurochka, or whatever she goes by, could be said as multiple entities at once. However--

[Ded] "This girl here is the santa of [Envy], there is longing in her eyes, and right now, her sole purpose is to produce more snow."

"You could say [Snegurochka is more than that], because of the legends surrounding her, words of the girl being my granddaughter came to be."

[Snegurochka] "Yeah! From this point onwards, I will be right here with Grandpa Ded!"

Snegurochka loudly declares as she hands out her permanent residential occupancy registration.

[Snegurochka] "In the meantime, I would like to have someone aid me around the school for the time being. No, why don't we spend some time together? I have so much to talk to you about, grandpa."

After that, Yule and the others leave the principal's office and Snegurochka, for the first time, has caught herself in a rough start by tidying up the room.

[Snegurochka] "Mmm hmm hmm♪-- Say grandpa, where would like me to put this?"

[Ded] "Then, how about I request that it be put here? You're just as enthusiastic as ever."

"Nevertheless, Snegurochka, are you really here to help me just for my sake?"

[Snegurochka] "Mmh! I'm not lying. I want to do my best to be the best santa assistance there is, you did blow life into me, after all."

[Ded] "Hahah, no way, even if it is true. The longer I observe you, the more I see that you really are still a child. Did you want me to play with you more or--"

[Snegurochka] "Geez, stop treating me like a child already! I said that I wanted to help you out, that's all!"

"Grandpa Ded, I heard you say that you needed help so I can't help but look out for you!"

For her age, she is rather doing too much by cleaning the figures in the room. Whether she may seem reliable, Ded could see and feel that she was feeling a sense of loneliness.

[Ded] "Then, what is that you want on christmas? I have a meeting coming up but I may come up with something fast if it's nearby, come on then, tell me."

[Snegurochka] "Grandpa, geez! Like I said, I'm fine as it is… Ah, that's right! I would like a guide around the school please!"

"But, you seem rather busy, grandpa.. I'm sure the other students are busy as well?"

[Ded] "Y-yes, it is as you say… No, there is one competent guy that I remember, wait here for awhile."

Just as he said that, a polar bear transient with a much larger build comes into the principal's office all by himself.

--

[Jack Frost] "… Hah, you say you wanted me here in the principals office? It's not like I'm expecting an answer to my question or anything."

The large white male who just appeared sighed in exaggeration, only to be drawn to the figure cleaning the frost from the window rather extensively in the principal's office.

[Jack Frost] "In other words, you want to commission a graffiti or something? Then how about I paint this entire principal office in monochrome instead."

[Ded] "Oh no, the truth is, Jack Frost, this student here wants someone to show her around."

[Jack Frost] "Snegurochka..!? Um, Mr. Ded.. Ain't she the rumored grandchild of yours, I didn't know you had one!?"

[Ded] "Now, now. There was a give and take between us, Snegurochka just has a way with words, that's all."

[Snegurochka] "Amazing! Yo, bro, there is just something about you. It's really cool just being in your presence~ Thank you so much, Grandpa, you actually listened to my request!"

[Jack Frost] "Ugh, it's a damn kid, no less! Don't be clinging to me so much! If you get a frostbite then that'll be your fault!"

[Ded] "No, no, I am not that worthy of such a praise. You're also a child with skill, this should've been a piece of cake for you, no?"

"Go play with this child for awhile, alright? You must have at least some experience in entertaining someone."

[Jack Frost] "That's my line, isn't Snegurochka's the one who has experience in entertaining others from the beginning here!?"

[Ded] "Just as it is, Jack. I'm sorry that you were chosen to make up for Snegurochka's time in the school so why not guide her around at this point?"

[Jack Frost] "Whaat!? No, no, no, no… What's up with that, besides, I'm sure that there are others out there that can substitute!"

[Ded] "No, no, you were, in fact, the one who fits that criteria. I'm sure you have done services to children before, no?"

The two keeps emphasizing their words to one another, Ded implicating his actual intent just through expression, keeping the same smile on his face.

[Black Ded] "How about this, why not just take it as extra curricular support lesson?"

"I want you to protect this white furball, as my damn patience is at it's last thread, you hear me?"

"My hands are quite full here. So, can I depend on you or not?"

[Jack Frost] "Oh, shut your mouth, you damned old man. This is hardly enough to be considered an extracurricular activity for me, why don't you make up for this trouble."

"Besides, it's not like I was glad to be called out here, in that case, I'd rather drop out than hear you go hoarse from yelling at my ear."

[Black Ded] "Hah.. Some nerve of this damn kid…! Fine, as I am the one taking lead right now, I might as well drop the ball and kick it at you."

[Snegurochka] "Wait, don't--!! Don't be acting violent here when I've just cleaned it!"

"I'm sorry, I've been acting so selfishly till now. Grandpa, thank you for everything, I'll go and visit the places by myself instead!"

Snegurochka then leaves the principal's office whilst leaving those parting words to Ded.

[Ded] "… That girl has now seen the dark version of me. It is only but my fault for this dreadful creation."

"If we meet again I'm sure that she'll look at me quite different now, she might never want to play with me ever again. All I wanted was for her to spend a nice time here in tokyo."

"That's why, Jack, I said that you were the most qualified one. Why don't you just take up that girl's request?"

[Jack Frost] "… Tch, I get it. In exchange, I would like scholarship credits after my graduation from this school--"

[Ded] "That's a no deal, I expect you to do your classes seriously."

Jack Frost responded with disatisfaction and still ran after Snegurochka out of the principal's office, she on the other hand, was sitting and staring down the floor.

[Snegurochka] "… I'm so sorry, it's my fault that you and grandpa were quarreling with one another."

[Jack Frost] "It's not really your fault. It's that dark version of Ded who started it in the first place, so you shouldn't be feeling this way."

[Snegurochka] "Really? It was grandpa's fault?"

[Jack Frost] "It isn't that he hates you. That guy just has a way of causing trouble is all--"

"I may look like a failure of a student that's best left abandoned elsewhere, but it's alright. -- Come on, let's go, you wanted to be shown around, right?"

[Snegurochka] "What? I'm fine, don't worry about me. You were forced to do this request, right?"

[Jack Frost] "Honestly, you really are such a meddlesome brat. I said that I agreed to guide you around the premises, now come on, let's go."

The cold emitted by Jack Frost could even be felt through his hand, the chilly wave is still active even when idle but Snegurochka still took it happily and clasp her hand against his.

[Snegurochka] "Heheheh, thank you so much, Jack! I leave myself in your capable hands, you're also free to call me casually!"

[Jack Frost] "Don't be letting go of my hand now, and for starters, how about you stop calling me [Big bro]."

[Snegurochka] "Wha- How come? Don't tell me that you're embarrassed in calling you big brother..?"

[Jack Frost] "No, it isn't that I hate it but… Don't suddenly get so chummy with me!!"

[Snegurochka] "Then, how about Jack or Jacky? Hrm.. Just as I thought, big brother fits you better, I think… No good?"

[Jack Frost] "… Honestly, no matter what you call me, I'll still hand an ear out for you."

[Snegurochka] "Then, I'll leave it to you to guide me around the school! I can't wait to see what grandpa's school has to offer."

With a giddy Snegurochka holding onto Jack frost, the two then started their exploration around the school.

[Animation of them being avoided by students throughout the school.]

They went to visit the school grounds, dining hall, and the main classrooms, but Snegurochka's voice calling out to Jack Frost has him halting to turn to her.

[Snegurochka] "Hey, big brother. I know you said I shouldn't let go of you as we explore our surroundings.."

"Bro, don't tell me that.. You don't have any friends at school.. Do you?"

Snegurochka's question aimed right through his heart, so much so that Jack's voice felt as though clogged down his throat.

[Jack Frost] "Don't you know how to put down a subject delicately, especially when you know about it!?"

[Snegurochka] "Huh? I'm sorry. Don't pay me no mind, I was just pondering…"

[Jack Frost] "… In santa classes, it is natural and normal to ask such questions, it is common to do so to figure out if the child is being good or not. I might look like I seem to be the type to be failing my classes but I'm just a noncomforming type of guy."

"It's pretty normal to me now that no one wants to approach me anyway."

[Jack Frost] "(… Alright, it is essential for me to make friends for the first time, I-I'll summon up the courage and go for it!)"

Jack Frost's eyes were brimming with determination, scanning his surroundings for a potential opportunity to talk to someone. But no matter how hard he scanned, there just isn't anyone he could find.

[Jack Frost] "(N-no way…!? Are you kidding me, I'm so delayed that everyone seems to have already formed groups with one another!?)"

"(It's over.. My new school term start has already ended.. Along with my happy school life…)"

-- [Snegurochka] "… Is that why you don't seem to be enjoying school life? There wasn't a single person out here you could talk to, am I right?"

[Jack Frost] "Just as you said. Even I have tried initiating conversations with other multiple times, but it's still--"

[Female Student] "… It's just that there's this coldness about you, like a flu that's being churned out?"

Whenever Jack Frost was nearby, he would notice that the students and their friends were behaving in awkward and aloof whenever he approaches. He made a mental note about it.

[Female Student] "Aa, ahahaha! Jack, good morning! I'm fine, my bodies as healthy as can be!"

"Geez, you know it isn't the time of the year, you know? Why can't you be a warm type and let us wear something else underneath, you get me~?"

[Jack Frost] "Ahahah~…"

[Jack Frost] "Even though it's spring, whenever I am around my surroundings would always turn into winter that they can't help but cover up due to the coldness. You're a snow woman, so they'll likely be more fond of you than me."

"I'm a perfectly fit and large dude so people tend to pay more attention to me by surprise, some of them also had poor health conditions so a guy like me would be a no go."

"I get the hint and leave, some have even lost interest in talking to me at all."

Even as she was getting the hint in Jack wanting to be left alone, Snegurochka continues to cling onto him further tightly.

[Snegurochka] "Don't sweat about it, I'll be here for awhile. Eheheh, me and big brother Jack's school school life as friends will begin here."

[Jack Frost]

"… I look forward to it. It does seem like I'm just befriending a kid here."

[Snegurochka] "Again, just like I said, I request that I be in the same classroom as big brother jack will be afterwards!"

[Jack Frost] "I told you that there's not enough time for you to be in the classes yet! Y-you understand?"

"It's just impossible for you. Aren't you still in middle school? Well, in all honesty, I'm the one here walking on eggshells with you."

"The santa school is about learning actual abilities and determines whether you are fit for the role, you on the other hand is just a elementary student who's judging me according to your opinion only, no, perhaps you want me to tell you more about it?"

With those received words, Snegurochka opened her application. Not far long, she pulls the small object out in front of him.

[Snegurochka] "Big brother, just who do think my grandfather is that you're talking to? I am a santa claus, I inherited it after my grandpa!"

"Let's go, Ru-chan! GO ✬ SNOW MAIDEN MAKE UP!!"

--

She opened her compact and parts of the powder traces around her hand and then everywhere else, engulfing her in complete white snow.

The power of the snow of Snegurochka's body conceals her form till it gradually turn into clothing, transforming it completely--

[Snegurochka] "Magical girl Snegurochka, reporting in! Now, I shall be lending an ear to your plea!"

Once Snegurochka's transformation was over, she reaches out her hand to him. The outfit matching every little tidbit of what makes one a magical girl and molds her entire form into it.

A large cane is present and is thrusted upwards, causing a ray of vivid rainbow into the sky. Snegurochka also stroked a pose while at it in display.

The rainbow of colors is akin to a voice calling out from behind to get in the train by a reindeer transient who also turns into an actual reindeer to gallop around.

It was almost as though Snegurochka's trait could be compared and were as similar to her grandfather's as this body continues to bear life.

Jack frost on the other hand had only but the blankest expression one could make.

--

[Snegurochka] "Hold up~! If you could spare me some of you time-- [Oops!] I mean, it's fine if don't want to!"

[Jack Frost] "No, it's not that I'm leaving. It's more that if anyone hears you here I am dipping…"

[Snegurochka] "Whaa, what's up with that~? If so, then let's might as well just hurry and wrap it up!"

[Jack Frost] "(There seems to be only one santa here and a reindeer named Patty, both of them are hard to juggle so I might just repel them a bit here--)"

Much to Jack Frost's surprise, he starts to sympathize with it almost instictively. This small bit of power was too much to overly suspect, and so--

In the middle of the town, there was a man who seemed to be lost in the middle of the night. Jack Frost was seemingly by himself, standing at that time. But it wasn't the usual thing he'd experience, it was something else and he learned it at that moment.

[Ded] "Just the same as ever, your working figure is something to commend about. An unidentifiable street artist of this new generation, a santa claus."

"This work of yours, you have such incredible taste. During my time this was considered as something absurd but now you could put a price on that and make a living out of it. How about contributing some of it to the orphanage or any charitable institution?"

"As for the result-- How about I hand you an indirect present instead."

"You only reveal your true self during the night only, you know within yourself that you have the skill to appreciate the spacious area before you. The asceticism of an artist is truly a wonderful thing to possess so I have to commend you for that."

[Jack Frost]

".. A winner, huh? Such is the way of life, what good does it benefit me when it's just a bunch of graffiti of doodles. I suppose it is in my nature to be that."

"I do this because this is the only proof I'll have of my existence once I am gone, like a window to a blade of grass. I am merely passing time with the amount of lengthened time I have, to even compare it to some arts out there is…"

The spray can blows it's painting material away, but Jack Frost's line of sight freezes for a moment, someone else has completed the graffiti before him.

During the entire night, there is but the temperature that remains by the arrival of morning, and yet Ded's word were still there. There are children there who needs him--

[Jack Frost] "… I still can't discern your true character no matter how much time passes with you. If there is a way I can be permitted to elevate myself, this graffiti art I've been making might no longer be considered a criminal act."

[Ded] "Same goes to you, Jack. At surface level, you're thinking about wanting to leave this situation of yours and move elsewhere, right?"

"Little by little, you've realized that you're moving from your strict principles. One is from graffiti and there is another thing--"

[Jack Frost] "Teacher Ded, I am quite busy here and yet here you are running my ears off with your tangents whenever you arrive."

Jack Frost lends Ded Moroz only a deaf ear seeing that he seems to be laughing at how troubled he seemed to be.

[Ded] "There is still time for you to spread out your wings further, you can assess me as you follow me from behind and make your judgement then."

[Jack Frost] "… Teacher Ded? I wanted to thank you for taking the time in comforting me."

The headmaster, Ded, does as he promised and the two continue to talk with one another. Santa, as he explained it, is a role that one must commit to no matter what crimes he has done--

[Ded] "I.. These powers of mine are but compensated to sacrifice for others and obtain things for them."

[Jack Frost] "That isn't something for you to say out loud, do want to have a scandal or something? For someone so well regarded to do this.."

No matter what Ded says, there is but only the tender kindness, his words carry a sense of eloquence to it.

--

[Jack Frost]

"(Snegurochka, you have the same powers as him--)"

[Snegurochka]

"Big brother Jack, what's up with you..? Were you that captivated by my transformation that much?"

[Jack Frost]

"There isn't like that that happened. More like I seem to have recalled something."

[Snegurochka]

"Hey, hey, I wonder what's been bothering you, but big brother Jack's just my school guide, oh, what should I do?"

[Jack Frost]

"… Hey, I'll let you on something. You and I can continue this support thing by a long thread."

[To be continued..]

A psa since I thought this while I was at work:

With the release of Side Order and Acht having they/them pronouns (on the English side of things at least) now being shown, we need to as a community not bash people for still going with she/her even after Side Orders release.

And I'm saying that because during the days of 2 and its artbooks/interviews Acht was referred to she/her in that material. So for a time when people wanted to be 'canon' with them, you would use those pronouns. Of course there is always the person behind the screen that goes "you know what? NB." And that's perfectly valid! Especially since on the English side of things they do refer Acht with they/them.

The other languages are tricky on the other hand. While NA and EU have referred Acht with they/them, Japan uses boku (the masculine or tomboy pronoun) to refer to Ahato and Portugal uses o artsita (which is the word used for men generally. A artsita is usually used for women). If any other languages have done something else then hey that's great, still pointing it out for knowledge sake.

What I'm saying is that language is hard and if someone wants to use she/her ded because that's what that person was used to then that is fine and we should expect a slow transition on the pronoun game for Acht since for years this information was like this until it suddenly wasn't.

And that's not even getting into whatever Japan will say about Acht in their next interview or artbook and whether or not its translation quirks or something else entirely (such as 100% true zero doubts hard canon).

So I'm just posting this saying that we shouldn't all gang up on people simply for referring Acht with a different set of pronouns, especially since years prior all the other information said otherwise.

So either way have fun with Acht! Do the cool things with the zombie octopus. Do whatever just don't bash people for working with information that was valid at the time.

Hi guys! Hope you guys had a safe amERICA day - if you know you know! Here’s the new chapter!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Another Brick in The Wall

“What’s going on?” Robin and the other two run down to the dining room where Steve and I are at. “You guys don’t hear that?” I ask, pointing in the direction of the faint voice of my brother. Eddie squints and really tries to figure it out. The lights flicker as Dustin, Lucas and apparently Erica, come up with a plan.

“DUSTIN! DUSTIN!” We all scream as we check for any type of way. “Check the lights. That’s how Will communicated with Joyce.” Nancy says as Robin and Eddie continue to scream for Dustin. Steve, Nancy, and I turn on switches, but to no avail, nothing. “Goddamit.” I utter under my breath. As Dustin continues on with his theory, Steve flashes his flashlight to the main light fixture of the room.

“You guys seeing this?” He asks as the four of us look at the flickering light. We cautiously walk to it, while Dustin yaps about the gate. Nancy reaches her hand in the dust and it gets brighter, finding a possible solution. Eventually, we all follow Nancy, entranced by its glory.

“It… tickles.” Steve says as I chuckle a bit with Eddie. I stand in between Nancy and him, feeling his body vibrate as he laughs at Robin’s, “kinda feels good.” My smile grows. We may be in a shit situation, but I can’t help but to think it’s kinda fun. “Does anyone know Morse code?” Nancy asks. “No.” We all say. “Wait… does SOS count?” Eddie asks the four of us look at him dumbfounded. I can’t help but to laugh a bit. “Oh, sweetheart.”

We start with the code, just hoping my brother shuts the hell up. “Is it working?” Robin asks as we hear “are you listening to me?” Dustin speaks with panic. Erica responds. “Yeah, I’m listening. It’s just that, you said follow Vecna in lights right?” “Yeah, why?” “Because I think he’s here.” Okay, maybe we’re getting somewhere.

“I think it’s working!” I say excitedly, smiling at everyone. “Hey, uh, remember when I, uh, said they wouldn’t be stupid enough to go through Watergate?” Dustin says finally figuring it out. Although, ouch. “I overestimated them.” Indeed you have brother.

********

We sit in Nancy’s bedroom, hoping they find a way to communicate. I grip onto Eddie’s hand as we lean against the wall. He eases me. “This is such a wicked way to celebrate our one year together.” He says, making me chuckle. “It is… the adventures of The Dungeon Master and Mistress.” We share a kiss and the three look at us quietly. This seems to kinda bring down the panic in the room somehow.

“Dustin’s a smart kid.” Eddie says, easing me up a bit. “I know. He is my brother after all.” We both laugh. Steve utters a “c’mon” as we all wait impatiently. We all jump as Dustin speaks.

“OKAY, ARE YOU GUYS SEEING THIS?” Dustin screams disorientingly and faintly. Nancy gets her hand in the light, dazzling in its red glow. “HOLY SHIT!” Erica screams as Dustin and Lucas get excited, just as we are. We’re also in awe with however they chose to communicate with us.

Dustin instructs us to stand by, while Lucas unplugs the Lite Brite - poor Holly. “Okay, try now!” Dustin's voice echoes. Nancy tries to figure out what to say, eventually settling for “Hi”. “That worked!” Dustin screams and we cheer. Robin and I hug then Steve and I high five. “My brother is a fucking genius!” I celebrate exclaiming to Eds. “HI!” Eddie screams while Robin and I laugh.

Nancy thinks of what to say next. “STUCK!” She eventually writes out. “‘Cause you can’t get through Watergate?” Dustin yells. “What the hell is ‘Watergate’?” Steve asks. “‘Cause it’s in water and it’s a gate.” Robin says. We all get it. “Dustin does have a way with words.” I say laughing. “GUAR” the other three on the other side spell out. “DED.” Nancy finishes.

“Uh, okay. Watergate’s guarded.” They make sense of it. “Yes.” Steve says. “WE THINK WE MAY HAVE A THEORY WITH THAT!” Dustin says. Well, go on Dusty Bun. “WATERGATE ISN’T THE ONLY GATE! THERE’S A GATE AT EVERY MURDER SITE.” Eddie’s trailer, Chrissy.

“Does anybody understand what he’s talking about?” Nancy asks while I go silent with the wheels in my head turning. Nancy draws a question mark, leading to a daring comment from my brother. “Okay, seriously? How many times do I have to be right on the money before you guys just trust me?” I start cracking up at my brother being a smart ass, then Steve’s comment. “Jesus Christ, this kid’s gotta get his ego in check.” “It’s his tone right?” Eddie replies.

“WAIT GUYS!” I start piping up, finally piecing it together. “Chrissy! Eddie’s trailer! Dustin may be a smartass but he has a point!” Nancy understands completely and looks at Eddie. “How far is your trailer?” “Seven miles.” Both Eddie and I say. “We’ll bike there.” Nancy snickers a bit. “There’s only four bikes.” “I’ll ride with Eddie.” I say, earning a chuckle from Eddie and Steve. “Let’s go.” Nancy draws “Eddie’s trailer” before we leave.

*************

We look around our hellish surroundings as we make it to the Upside Down trailer. “That’s gotta be a world record.” Robin says as the five of us get off our respective bikes and rapidly approach the trailer. “Roxie deserves one for not falling off.” Eddie laughs and I start laughing. “We were going so fast, I had to hang on to my man.”

Eddie kicks the door open and I can’t help but to be a bit…. Aroused. We quickly run inside as it’s one step to freedom. “Okay, where’s the gate?” I ask, looking up at the ceiling with Eddie and Robin while Nancy and Steve get inside. “Right here.” Eddie soberly utters, remembering what had occurred just two nights prior. “Hey, it’s gonna be okay. We’re okay.” I whisper softly to him and I kiss him.

Just then, we see the gate being broken open. We know immediately who it is, the kids! We stand in a circle eagerly waiting to be free as they set everything up. Dustin and Erica are making a makeshift rope of bed sheets. Max and Lucas bring Eddie’s mattress out, leading to both Nancy and Robin awkwardly looking at Eddie and I.

I purse my lips concealing my laugh as Eddie acts like he doesn’t know what’s on it, our little rendezvous’. “I don’t know what those stains are.” He clears his throat as I stifle my laughter. Dustin throws the makeshift rope to us. Way to go little bro. We look up them as Dustin tells us about his theory. “And if my theory is correct”, he says as he lets go of the rope.

“Abracadabra.” “Holy shit.” Max and I both say. Robin pulls on it and smirks. “Guess I’m the guinea pig.” She grunts as she pulls onto it and climbs up, eventually falling onto the mattress.

Eddie smiles at me. “Here goes nothing.” He kisses my cheek before repeating Robin’s actions. I watch in awe as I prepare for my turn. “That… was fun.” He gasps on the other side. I eagerly grab onto the gateway, ready to be free. Then, I hear panic from Steve. I turn my head and join him. Nancy.
