[sparrowlucero]

what are your favourite pokemon designs?

though these aren't really my picks for the best or most clever designs, just personal favorites

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

Foul legacy weeklies but melusine y/n is just cheering him on. Paimon next to them. (They’re sharing snacks.)

you start coordinating who brings what after a few weeks, too!!

honestly, you're not sure why Foul Legacy and the Traveler feel the need to fight every week. sparring, perhaps? maybe a way to get rid of any pent-up irritation? either way, it happens exactly once every week, not quite like clockwork. the day varies depending on when the two contenders are free. why they both must go all the way to Liyue as well, you might never know- but at least Legacy brings you with him through the wilderness, over woods and mountains and through any caves you desire- the creatures would never harm you, after all. all the way to the Golden House, where the Traveler is waiting. Paimon greets you happily, as always- the celestial pair never had an issue with you. they too have been thrown into a new world, unable to return home, wherever home might be. Paimon floats by your side as you make yourself comfortable, her chattering almost entirely concealing the sounds of battle

Paimon is the one who started the snack tradition, whipping out one of her many provisions to share with you. she is the sole reason you expand your palette in Teyvat, bringing you dish after dish, usually things she's been craving lately. you munch on them together, curiously, occasionally waving to Childe and the Traveler as they spar. you clap for both your Harbinger and your Abyssal monster, tail wagging happily whenever they turn to look at you. and you keep a tally of who won and who lost!! currently the Traveler is in the lead, much to their smug satisfaction, but you still delight in showing Foul Legacy whenever you get to add a point to his chart, earning you some very enthusiastic chitters and trills

[completeoveranalysis]

OK!

UNHINGED THEORY TIME:

WHO ARE LAVA LAMPS PARENTS?

Criteria for candidates include: (a) his mother's name is Sakura, (b) his mother is a dream seer, (c) they are vaguely Sakura and Syaoran shaped, (d) they end up in the Jam Jar

Potential Answer 1: Cardcaptor Sakura and Syaoran Li, from Cardcaptor Sakura

Hints in favour: Almost everything. Clamp drop constant hints that imply Cardcaptor Sakura, including but not limited to: the world Lava Lamp is 'from' resembles our world, his father's name is Syaoran Li, his mother's magic circle is the same one from Cardcaptor Sakura, his father's sword is identical to Cardcaptor Sakura!Li Syaoran's sword, his magic circle, Touya and Yukito (in 216, his relatives) are shown in ordinary clothing resembling our world, Lava Lamp's mother gave Yuuko the Star Wand, Lava Lamp's grandmother looks like Nadeshiko, Lava Lamp's father is descended from Clow Reed.

Counterpoints: Lava Lamp doesn't seem to recognise Touya and Yukito in the Clow Kingdom, CLAMP wouldn't need to hide their faces if we already correctly know who they are, Lava Lamp doesn't seem to know how Cardcaptor Sakura is related to Clow Reed.

Also: It's a bit dark! Even though Clamp are OVERFLOWING with hints that Lava Lamp's parents might just be the Cardcaptors, it would be a bit of a downer for the main characters for such a sweet and uplifting manga like Cardcaptor Sakura to end up here.

Theory Status: The one the narrative most strongly backs up, but still doesn't feel quite right

Potential Answer 2: Someone from Tsubasa

Hints in favour: THEY DON'T SHOW US THEIR FACES. EVER. Why leave their faces out unless we would recognise?

With this in mind, let us narrow down the potential Syaorans we have seen who could be considered JUST KIDDING THERE'S ONLY ONE: CLONE SYAORAN. He's the only one with an appearance distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable: he has heterochromia.

What if Clone Syaoran is Real Syaoran's father? Which would make Lava Lamp's mother either Clone Sakura or the new Fusion Sakura we just met.

Counter point: That's completely batshit.

Counter Counter Point: Logic in the universe is dying. Also this is CLAMP. It should be completely batshit.

Another Counterpoint: Hiding their faces could be a red herring just to torture us on purpose

Which I have no defence against that is 100% what they would do

Yet Another Counterpoint: Clone Syaoran and Clone Sakura are currently dead.

AND OK I HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THAT ONE.

Unless? There is a gap in the timeline where they could have disappeared for a long period of time? Ie, long enough to disappear to another dimensions, have children together, raise them, and then hop in the Jam Jar for an undisclosed number of years? And then time travel to still make it back into the narrative on time?

And - sure! There are MANY holes times where Clone Syaoran disappears from the narrative entirely. Most notably, his magic growth is extreme between the end of Nihon and his reappearance in the Reservoir. Also that was arguably when his soul was restored. So he MIGHT have disappeared, done all that, and still made it back in time to die in the Reservoir.

Also, if that IS the order of events, that would explain why we can never see his face AND ALSO why he still has Fai's eye when fighting in the Reservoir. Because he hasn't died yet.

Big Counter point: Yuuko has never met Lava Lamp's parents. Also, Lava Lamp's parents don't have the power to cross dimensions.

Which, yeah. That seems to rule them out entirely. Yuuko has met Clone Syaoran.

(Unless she means technically, since she wasn't in the same dimension as Clone Syaoran when she first met him in Chapter 1/2, but surely that's splitting hairs.)

So that seems to... rule them out pretty solidly?

Unless Yuuko HERSELF doesn't know exactly who they are, which seems even more unlikely than anything else.

Theory Status: Doesn't compute but I kind of want it anyway

Potential Answer 3: A completely unrelated pair of Sakura and Syaoran

Hints in Favour: It wouldn't counteract with any other facts we have so far, since we know nothing about them.

Counter point: It's boring.

Theory Status: It would work but it would be disappointing.

PS - no confirmations or denials in either direction please and thank you :D

"Those weirdos are skulking around the mall again"

I was overtaken by visions, ideas even. So I drew this fuckass crossover where I guess Soul Eater, Fairy Tail, and RWBY (god knows what else I could add, the lack of DR is deafening) all exist in the same real world modern au (and by modern I mean the early 2000s cause i have a problem) and also like 98% of the characters are in the range of 18-20 now.

i've had far too many ideas. All cause of these three.

When it comes to these three I just feel an energy between them, like they're all in one way or another the victim of abuse, and I just think the idea of them being weird outcast besties takin' care of each other is nice.

Unrelated note turns out Cinder is really fun to draw I should do that more often.

[fazedlight]

It's just... profoundly weird, how many of Kara's traumas get "reversed" over the course of the show.

Kara was the last daughter of Krypton, until Astra shows up almost immediately

Mon-El disappeared (and she blames herself) but jk he's fine

Her planet died... but actually her city survived

Her mom died jk jk she's fine (though I do think there's a good reason for that one)

Her whole team dies at the end of season 3 (and she thinks it's her fault), but three doritos later they're back

Zor-El was hanging in the PZ all along

She still, you know, felt all of those traumas. Some of them were short-lived, some of them she dealt with for decades. And that trauma is real regardless. But it sure felt like the show kind of cheapened it in weird ways.

[tamelee]

i think i discovered how sasuke came to be with sakura. other “theories” are shaky in my eyes. i dont want to sound cocky but this is the most believeable for me. i think sasuke is in a kotoamatsukami genjutsu.

... hm, how does the theory work though?

Danzo destroyed himself which also destroyed all the eyes. Itachi noted that the other eye that was in the crow would require at least a decade for it to work again, no? (He also used Amaterasu on it so both eyes were gone anyway, yeah?) Even so, that would mean Sasuke would be 26/27, but then Sarada would already be 6/7 (I dunno) which kind of defeats the purpose of 'I'm only connected to Sakura because there's you Sarada' which he said in Gaiden. Apparently Hashirama's Chakra could make the Jutsu work earlier again but that still wouldn't be in time? It was also set to 'protect Konoha', but who would program it and create a new order? Especially for Sakura?? 'remove your gay Sasuke, be with this girl that you find annoying. The only one who wants that is Sakura herself. And even if for some bizarre reason she is able to do that (with help or whatever) and program Shisui's eye, then why are they both miserable still? Wouldn't she make sure he'd actually stayed with her and not escape that order every second of his life (as is impossible and) as he's doing now because he wouldn't even realize he was in the GenJutsu?

Abyssborn Part 2: Abyssborn Children

Second type of the Abyssborn are the children to a natural born ones. They are the only gen besides the progenitors to have the title because they are the only ones with the full range of abilities. It is dramatically cut down after them. And arguably, they are the more dangerous of the two. Because they are, essentially, the manipulators and devourers of possibility. More on that in a minute.

How they come about...I think is evident. I jest but in the previous post, I did put out how they are usually the result of a high magnitude wish. One that can alter the world as the being desires. Usually this child is raised by the one that granted the wish since y'know, the other parent was shunted from the world by the present parent's need for power, revolution, what have you.

It's a responsibility, sure, but you know what? You want big things, gotta put a little work into it. And honestly, most of those children have an innate loyalty to this parent so it isn't terribly hard to get them to go along with their parent's schemes. And they kinda can't ignore it either. Their core is imbued with this wish so they seek out achieving it because there is a need within their being that wants the goal desperately.

Now as for what these Abyssborn are packing...it depends. They for sure are not wish granters because they do not possess the same 'basis' as their Abyssborn parent. However they do have the adaptation ability although it works a little different. For when a child is born, they take on an appearance like their parents, a striking feature, and the traits of the strongest being at the time of their birth. It's so that they have a 'baseline' they can always default to since, again, they are not the same as the void dwelling parent. They can grow up to travel worlds and change what traits they can take on but it takes practice.

Besides this, they have I guess superpower basics. They possess immense strength and durability. Their healing factor is also abnormal. For the being that they adapted to, they have all of that being's strength and powers. However, they also have their weaknesses. For example, Tannim had adapted from a fire dragon. Dragonsbane affects him like an allergy and he takes more damage from ice based abilities.

So far, so good. What makes them terrifying though? Well, it's technically not something overt. It's just that when an Abyssborn is pursuing 'their' wish, it's so fervent that it drives them to taking up all they can in search of it. This includes potential and possibility. They can instinctually find those with great potential, Fateweavers, and loiter about them to either meet more potential, passively take from these beings or start to steer where they want things to go. And if they slay others, they can steal the possibilities that were left behind. So basically if someone was killed 'before their time' or with 'x, y, z left unfulfilled' an Abyssborn can take the potential they would've had and it empowers them.

Honestly, most of the fear is from the experience of those that have witnessed Abyssborn achieve the wish of their parent. And there are usually two variants to what happens from it. One is that the scale and completeness of their goal has driven their home world to destruction. The other is that the Abyssborn destroys it themselves because they are left with an emptiness that can turn to anger or despair. It is because of this destruction that these Abyssborn are also called Harbingers. And this is why it usually does not matter that their Abyssborn parent can return to the world because the child likely has destroyed it or made such a scar on the world itself that there is not much point to coming back. And from that destruction do Harbingers reap an entire world's worth of possibility, making them able to pull of feats at a grand scale or basically like a huge battery.

Now this isn't absolute but it is a trend with Harbingers and it is why 'Regulators,' bodies that oversee that world orders are being adhered to, are very disdainful if not hostile to both Abyssborn. It's too much power just floating out there and it cannot be trusted that they'll do the 'right thing.' However, the one thing with that...they cannot interfere so long as it is shenanigans within that Abyssborn's home world. Because it is their HOME, regardless of how anyone feels about it. However they leave to another place, it's fair game and they do experience the phenomena of the world trying to eject them.

As of this writing, I have two Abyssborn and they both fall under the category of a Harbinger: Balmoral and Tannim. Balmoral is an Abyssborn that was born for immense change. Seeing with his current status, it can be inferred that this change was meant to be with the Unseelie Court. As for what he is......I'll leave that as a question mark for now. Tannim as stated adapted from a fire dragon. However, he is a very big exception to the purpose of a Harbinger. So he's considered unusual next to other Abyssborn.
