#i kinda ?? sorta ?? reworded some questions

[audinite]

OMG OK i’ll ask more specific questions about bella… how would u describe his dynamic with schezo (idk anything abt puyo so feel free to say however much you want abt schezo id love to hear) & how did they meet? plus anything else you’d like to add of course

i took a bit to answer but omg thank u for the questions it makes me happy😭💛 now then time for a readmore cus i ramble a lot🥹apologies for all the incoming words LOL

it changes a bit between how i see them (couple or one sided) but honestly its basically the same (ofc theres some differences) anyways ill be writing with the one sided relationship in mind. bella is obsessed with schezo and has equal amount of normal and affectionate moments. schezo sometimes is wary or has his guard raised against bella since the lovey dovey-ness from him can be too much for him to handle (mainly with how one of bella's way to show his affections is cooking..schezo made a one time mistake of accepting his gift + schezo is just a loner. likes silence) but besides that they get along<3 bella is like schezos first real friend. ok like schezo has some friendly relationships but doesnt really have any actual friendships since he likes to do his own thing and his words doesnt help either (blunt + his accidental innuendos) ->making this about bella now and how he personally handles those two aspects of schezo. bella interprets his words literally like his classic "i want you" line bella would be like "for what?" or something like that. and this is more important to their relationship but the bluntness can honestly be upsetting to bella if what is said is something hurtful or negative. theres a few incidents of bella getting sad which honestly gets to schezo, he doesnt like to see him sad so unlike with everyone else he is a bit more gentle with bella. might be ooc but the way i think about it makes sense (treats bella like how he usually does with everyone else➡️bella gets sad/upset once or a few times bc bluntness➡️oh this kinda sucks➡️a bit more gentle now). gentle in the sense that he will sometimes think and reword his thoughts better before actually speaking (im the overthinker but i dont think anyone would assume this but its not like he babies or is over the top kind to bella but he just will be more conscious at times). i guess considerate would be a better word for this? LOL also forgot to mention but bella is a mediocre mage and really admires schezo since hes pretty powerful. bellas pretty sensitive about his own skills so thats one of the things that can be upsetting to him.

ok now to how they meet.. ill try to keep this one shorter☠️ this would be like a madou monogatari story thing. bella is atop of a hill during the night and sees a shooting star (which unknown to him is filled with magical energy) and decides to wish on it to become a better, stronger mage! soon after he does that, out pops a doppelganger of him (theres a lotttt of doppels in puyo/madou and i want bella to have one🙂‍↕️no design yet but being a doppel..you can already guess how he looks but just with a different outfit on). the bella doppel ends up pushing bella off the hill and into a forest because of a simple "well we both can't exist" + is way stronger than the real bella so goodbye!! but that leads into the bella schezo meeting since schezo just happens to be in that forest and at the exact spot bella is falling from so hes forced to catch him because its that or get smashed. for bella its pure love at first sight but to schezo its some bothersome stranger. schezos searching for the random spike of power that he felt (the doppel) bc hes a guy who kinda sorta steals others magical powers, all the timing was just rightt...welp im gonna end it right there since i think the introductions probably the most important part and im rambling and writing so much its kinda embarrassing....anyways😭thank you for the ask ily💛

[sillysadduck]

Ok so I scroll down on your account and read from the last thing I liked on your blog each day, so apologies if someone already said this, I haven't caught up yet and I'll forget if I don't write this down.

Also, Sorry if I just took what you and the asker was saying and just reworded it, I'm tired and I barely comprehended what was being said.

ANYWAYS

So referring to this ask, I thought, "What if Warren was a part of the love cu- *ahem* "club" for a long while and had a sort of mission to go recruit some other people."

He stumbles across Lily and Todney and thinks "Well, this is good enough", and starts interacting with them so he can uh... "smoothly" slide in the question of them joining. This takes a few days, so they all bond and get to know their stories and such. Once Warren asks the big question, they have no idea what they are getting themselves into, but they heard "love" and "family", so they're all in.

Warren grows to actually like them and enjoys their company. He learns of their home situation and is... frankly a little concerned. But he's gotta focus on bringing them to Shrigs and Malcolm.

Once he brings them over, him and Shrigs talks about initiation and celebrating and stuff while Lily and Todney become fast friends with SO.

I'm getting lazy on ideas so stuff happens, Warren ends up finding out about the marriage thing, thinks "this whole situation is NOT very cash-money", and just bails with all three of the kids.

For some extra spice, I'd like to think that Shrigs is basically hunting them down to 1) Find his daughter and 2) to kill Warren for taking his sorta child away with no warning. I'd like to think that on that journey, Shrigs thinks a whole lot about SO and it kinda sinks in for him like, "damn, I care about this kid more than I thought" (like, in a father/ daughter type way) and he reflects on what he's noticed with SO and how she must be feeling and starts to actually question Malcolm.

For some MORE spice, the twins family is after them too, not out of much care or concern, but because they need the twins to find new mothers in order to get the family discount. So if they get their hands on the twins... they'll probably not be able to leave the house to get new mothers ever again. And they will kill Warren, like, for real. No hesitation.

So yea all four of them are on the run.

Then Shrigs could find them all, have a talk with SO, everyone makes up, blah blah blah, then the twins family shows up and it's like a final showdown. I'd honestly think that Warren and Shrigs would put up somewhat of a fight, but then Shrigs gets hurt real bad or something and they all just flee.

They're all just sorta... constantly on the run for a while, since Shrigs is having a hard time dealing with all of these emotions about Malcolm and he feels like he is unworthy of going back, Warren doesn't have an actual place to stay, and the kids have nowhere to go.

Eventually they do live somewhere but man I'm just here for the angst and redemption arks, I'm not good with coming up with happy endings, y'all gotta do that for yourselves XD

But anyways I'm so sorry this is loooooong.

(Idk where to put this but I HC that Shrigs is homophobic, but because he's just uneducated, not out of pure hatred. When he gets use to it and learns about the LGBTQIA+ community, then he'll be either and ally or he'll realize he's actually pan.

Also In that whole story, I saw Warren as a teenager (around 15-17 idk), not an adult. And idk about Shrigs but he's pretty young too, probably 19-21ish. Maybe a little bit older.

And this wasn't suppose to be a ship thing with any of the characters mentioned!)

Thank you for reading :,)

THIS IS SO COOL TYSM!!! I really like this concept, it would be so cool if the kids met bc of the love cult but then they end up leaving thanks to Warren. And Shrig joins them too! Maybe they end up living at the trio's house like the other teachers lol they probably have enough room😭

[invertedfate]

You seemed to imply that Chara has developed a crush on Frisk. Does Frisk reciprocate, or is this a spoiler question?

Frisk is about as subtle as an explosion amplified by surround sound and a megaphone and bass boosted. :P So yeah, I can see it being a mutual sorta thing. That being said... romance arcs aren't really a big focus of Inverted Fate, and especially with Charisk a) being initially unplanned, and b) such a divisive pair in the fandom due to the fact that a lotta folks see 'em as family and c) pretty much accidental subtext that I got too gosh darn attached to, and then my brain went 'brrr, this is a wholesome thing for you now.' The curse of hyperfixations manifesting on their own. ._.; Like I said, tho, they don't have a sibling bond in IF, and especially since Frisk isn't being adopted by Asgore, that hopefully makes for less awkward overlap. And I don't like Charisk in any fanworks that do have them as fam- it's pretty much just here where it got me going "dangit, this is so sweet." Tho I may go in and edit a few earlier chapters to make the transition from Frisk's impulsive "you can be dad plz?" to "...y'know, I really don't know him that well, and in hindsight I kinda got ahead of myself" a bit smoother. Chapter 10's remaster reworded some things already, but I really do wanna do what I can to make sure that the gradual realization doesn't come outta nowhere. I figure the more consistently I can have Frisk start to consider this, the fewer crossed wires there'll be, y'know? Funnily, this direction has been on my mind for years- Asgore not being endgame guardian for Frisk, as the more I worked on Inverted Fate, the more I realized how little time they actually spent with each other and how much stronger Frisk's bonds were with Papyrus, Mettaton, and Sans. That and I started to just get more interested in other outcomes with Frisk as I realized people really slept on places to go and got frustrated with how people acted like it wasn't a valid direction for fanworks/headcanons. I gotta do some other re-edits still at some point for things folks had pointed out to me a while back, and the Sans date desperately needs some dialogue tweaks to make it less uncomfortable. It was always just meant to be an elaborate shitpost, but some of Papyrus' lines are just... not great in terms of how he handled it? So I'll 100% be addressing it when I can.

(As always, if there is anything specific you think might be worth touching up in the remasters- e.g. accidentally hurtful implications or undertones- I'm always happy to look into and tweak within reason.)

[abjectaspiringfailure]

Hello, in your response to one of my previous asks you mentioned that rc cells functioned like the Blacklight Virus did in Prototype. If I may ask, how so? Also, on a more random note, what would you think if there were a one-eyed ghoul featured in the series who was like Alex Mercer?

Hello, in your response to one of my previous asks you mentioned that rc cells functioned like the Blacklight Virus did in Prototype. If I may ask, how so?

Sorry this took so long to get to.

So as a preface for this post, I don’t personally believe Ishida was invoking these things in a way where he thought “this is primarily meant to be seen through the lens of the original 2009 [PROTOTYPE]”, but it is an interesting coincidence. Both Tokyo Ghoul and Prototype have a unique design style, and the result is a story that if you rush through will leave you going “well I guess things are complete but uh.... what?” Which is why Tokyo Ghoul had such a vast meta community that formed, and why Prototype has an active theory crafting community given its size and relative obscurity. Both have a web of intrigue that needed to be solved to get a good grasp on the story and arguably many things of importance are said and done offscreen.

I got absorbed in going on about both Prototype and Tokyo Ghoul, so I’m going back to put this here. I enjoyed how both of these series were basically puzzles to be solved, and I think both are misunderstood (though Tokyo Ghoul moreso than Prototype). I ended up writing a lot about the similarities that pertained to the question in the sense that there were ways the virus and RC cells had some similarities, but I ended up trimming it down significantly. So uh.

DX1118 functions by rewriting the host’s DNA to replicate. In most cases, there is death via organ failure. What “failure” and “lethality” means in the case of DX1118 is varied just like it is in Tokyo Ghoul with “success” and “floppies”; although the virus kills people, it brings them back as monsters. I’m tempted to believe this is referring to the attempts to weaponize the virus in the sense of creating super soldiers; a prelude to the DX1120 variant. The one mentioned to be Redlight explicitly has a 99.999 lethality rate.

In the case of DX1118 and its offshoots, “releasing what’s already there” means activating the non-coding areas of the genome. Essentially, the powers bestowed upon those who survive the virus in Prototype are not the result of the virus by itself, but rather the virus using things inside the human genome for mutations. The human genome actually has a rather hefty chunk of it made out of viruses that infected our ancestors and stayed in their system, roughly about 4 - 8%.

 I see Tokyo Ghoul humans as naturally progressing towards becoming ghouls due to RC cells and the way they adapted to the humans and influenced their genetic development. RC cells are not normal for humans, but the humans of the Tokyo Ghoul universe do not understand that because it seems to be the only thing they have ever known. An RC count of 200 - 500 is considered healthy and average. I believe RC cells are much like the viruses that inhabit the human genome; they’re something that’s been there all along in the Tokyo Ghoul universe.

I believe ghouls aren’t the result of just an entirely new species developing entirely separately but coincidentally being mirror replicas of humans down to anatomy, blood types, thought patterns, bone structures, and their ability to swap organs, but rather something that is the result of the RC cells in the system mutating them into new entities over time. RC cells, like the Blacklight virus, are very mutagenic. Unlike the Blacklight virus, I see most of these changes as being more gradual in the line of human -> ghoul.

It would go human - > human with “special investigator genes” (with RC cells that normal human levels but ghoul quality) -> human with “special investigator genes” and latent ROS genes having children with someone in the same position -> ghoul who cannot use a kagune (such as G&G) -> ghoul who can use a kagune -> ghoul with kakuja mutation genes - > ghoul with kakuja genes having children with kakuja genes - > kakuja

It’s more complex than that because of the way Ishida spread the information about with regards to ghoul and human biology. There’s also a lot of stuff that goes into that, with regards to ROS in both humans and ghouls, and stuff that I feel needs to be expanded upon. Eg stuff about the Oggai’s Frame A/Frame B divide, Nutcracker’s RC levels being listed as explicitly two separate types, kagunes and kakujas showing a consistent pattern of having traits of two RC types, Urie’s One Eye (Frame A)/Two Eye (Frame B), the Washuu breeding program, and how this all factors together (in the way I see it).

To get back to Blacklight and the similarities, I said this in the post you’re referring to, but I don’t think the Dragon toxin caused “ROS like symptoms”, I think the Dragon just caused ROS by increasing the RC cell levels of anyone it touched while introducing Washuu “born kakuja” genetics that can apparently form extra kakuhou pretty easily. Because there was so many cases, there was too many people to treat at once, and therefore they turned into ghouls. Usually, because the disease is so rare and much slower, it’s more controllable.

Shirazu’s sister, for example, didn’t have her ROS caused by RC cells from something so severe and there weren’t hundreds of thousands of other people who were infected, so Haru’s ROS was both slower and the resources to control it were more readily available.

When it comes to DX1118 and its variants, and RC Cells, I’m of the opinion that they work in different methods, but the effects are similar. Blacklight’s origin and true purpose is greatly muddled due to the way Prototype is written. Like Tokyo Ghoul, multiple pieces of information are ambiguous or outright lies.

There were many differing stories about what the true purpose of the Blacklight virus was - ranging from some type of super human serum meant to increase human strength and intellect, to a weapon designed to kill off specific ethnic groups, to some evolutionary compound meant to force the planet to change into a new being, to some form of inevitability that would have to be engaged regardless. This makes a lot of the information involved murky; this is actually acknowledged in universe as being completely intentional. The actual origins of DX1118 isn’t stated, as far as we can tell from the information given, it just sort of popped up out of nowhere.

The origin of RC cells is also shrouded in mystery. Ghouls are a worldwide phenomenon, so, logically, RC cells should be universal. Otherwise, ghouls would not be able to feed. It is also stated that a normal, healthy human being has between 200 - 500 RC cells, which implies that not having any RC cells is considered either unhealthy or abnormal. I’d speculate that RC cells themselves would therefore have to be either hundreds of thousands of years old and tied to the evolution of humans in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, or, spread like a contagion. The Washuu themselves became “born Kakujas” due to centuries of cannibalization before they even made it to Japan, and by the the time the Washuu became known as legendary human ghoul hunters, they were already almost indistinguishable from the local population and were identified as Japanese nobility.

So, their origins are rather different, but they have the same air of mystery about them, and they touch on similar topics. The methods they get used is different, but the conspiracy has significant overlap.

The way Blacklight works when it infects a host is via changing the host cell by activating the non-coding regions of the genome. A substantial chunk of the human genome is actually believed to be now dormant viruses that infected our ancestors, who survived them, and lived on to procreate. In Prototype, this translates to the virus mutating the human body to achieve superhuman abilities, in theory? In actuality, the failure rates of the virus are rather substantial. But if you reword it, 99.9% lethality rate translates to a .1% success rate.

TG;re 44

These failure rates are comparable to the original Kanou kakuhou transplantation procedure, if less survivable. (This isn’t including the 99.999% lethality variant or the one that was made to be 10x more lethal and mutagenic than that). The failure rates for the Kanou procedure are substantial, but even the failures are reminiscent of the Blacklight “Runners” that are seen moving around the city - though that feels like it’s the result of the “zombies” theme.

TG;re 1

While I don’t recall if it’s ever stated how the DX1120 virus differs from the DX1118 variants, the D-Codes work using similar logic to the Qs and Oggai. Both use the “power of their enemy” to fight back against them, rather than using technology such as firearms. The description of the D-Codes is essentially the same as the Qs. They use the virus to increase their metabolism, strength, durability, and even regenerative functions.

The effort put into this biology system seemed immense, and the way the information is sprinkled in seems very organic.

There was other stuff about similarities between Arima and Cross, Blackwatch and V, Elizabeth Green and Roma/Eto/Rize, but I feel like that’s a bit off topic from the question, and I think this would have been answered immediately had I not tried to explore all of those avenues. I tried to keep this more on topic to the question, but I feel the flow regardless suffered. This is kinda the issue I have with ghoul biology stuff that threw a wrench into the post. It makes sense when you look at the big picture, but taking it all separately and dispersing it to a single point makes it seem nonsensical.

I kind of hope that explains it better. I’m going to try to revisit the ghoul biology post and just sorta accept that it’s not going to flow as easily as a character analysis post because it’s more technical in nature and the information is scattered between hundreds of chapters.

edit:

oh wait, forgot something.

Also, on a more random note, what would you think if there were a one-eyed ghoul featured in the series who was like Alex Mercer?

I think about this concept a lot. The idea of an Alex Mercer like character unwrapping things in Tokyo Ghoul sounds like an interesting concept. When you mean like Alex Mercer, you mean an AOEG that is trying to unravel the mysteries involved, and any time they eat someone’s RC cells, they get the knowledge inside of them type of deal? Alex Mercer as he is in the original Prototype would likely work with Aogiri Tree. Alex Mercer as he is in Prototype 2 would probably become a member of the Clowns as an actual member, or one of the philosophical Clowns that end up screwing over Kaneki and helping out the Clowns, like Yamori or Chie Hori. 

Prototype Alex Mercer would probably start off opposed to both the CCG and Aogiri Tree, assuming you’re starting him off in Tokyo without his memories. He seems like he’d end up getting played, set up, and gaslighted by the Clowns like Kaneki, Eto, and Mutsuki were.  I imagine Mercer would quickly turn sides though once they realizes V exists and they’d probably set their sights on killing off the Clowns. tbh Mercer would probably succeed. Alex Mercer’s mindset means initially they’re going to be dancing in the palm of their hands, but the  powerset means it’s only a matter of time before everything gets revealed. Dealing almost solely in deception, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation is kind of an awful idea against a guy who can piece things together and blow your entire conspiracy to pieces. This would be like a “Karen Parker” situation, only the Clowns aren’t really used to hiding so much as sitting out in the open and none of them would be strong enough to beat someone with Alex Mercer’s powerset even in ghoul form tbh.

He’d probably join Aogiri Tree and Goat in the long run, even if briefly. The story would go off the rails long before Goat would form, though.

Alex Mercer at the end of Prototype is a different beast entirely but also kinda hard to figure out; the original writer wasn’t involved with a lot of the stuff after, and the Prototype 2 Alex Mercer feels like the original got consumed by like the Supreme Hunter and it just decided to wear his skin. Prototype 2 was originally Spiderman 4 before it was reskinned to be Protoype 2 so like everything was already set up and in place and it’s obvious that Father G was Uncle Ben, Mercer was Dr. Octavius, Heller was Peter, “viral sonar” is spidersense, etc. The writer that took over apparently hated Alex Mercer, from what I was told by people who talked to the guy. Isn’t really a good thing to go into writing with. Salt towards Alex Mercer being demonized is kinda universal. Heller had some good moments, but I felt his character was wasted. Wish the game just stayed as Spiderman 4, and Prototype 2 was on the Xbox One/PS4 rather than what Activision forced Radical to do.

I guess you could say that Prototype 2 is to the original Prototype what the anime is to Tokyo Ghoul.

But, we can infer things. It’s likely Mercer would be distrustful of everyone due to the experience with the Supreme Hunter, but very unsure of themselves. Automatic opposition to the scary conspiracy group is guaranteed. There’s an automatic opposition to killing indiscriminately from a character perspective even if the game doesn’t punish you for it; by the end, Alex is even fed up with killing soldiers who aren’t commanders. I’m not sure if he’d join up with Aogiri. Aogiri avoided civilian population centers and kept their targets military in nature, yes. On the other hand, they also just told ghouls like Torso “yo, knock it off, the CCG will getcha” and they let the Clowns or ghouls like Big Madam roam free and even worked with them, even if in the later case it was related to trying to see if Takizawa would awaken Haise’s memories.

Goat is a possibility. Kaneki’s strategy of disarming the CCG would probably be something Alex Mercer would go for. I imagine he’d also just go right for Furuta’s throat. The only reason this wasn’t done in the original Prototype was because Blackwatch’s commander was on the Reagan and was shooting anyone who got close out of the sky. Canonically the WOI does confirm an attempt to just fly therw with a helicopter only to get intercepted, and Alex also mentions that when they have their conversation with the Supreme Hunter.

Most likely though, Alex Mercer would end up working with Hide’s group and helping Kurona if he finds out about Kurona’s story. Especially Kurona. She’s simultaneously after a mad scientist who turned her into a monster, and she’s also Dana’s age. I see him helping her in her quest to get back at Kanou. With Hide, Alex sorta uses any help he can get, and Hide seems like he’d find Mercer because he’s just that good.

I think they would work with Eto if Eto opened up to them but.. Eto doesn’t really open up to people unless they violently maim her, like Kaneki or Arima. She might end up becoming interested in Alex if Alex starts trying to kill her, like Kaneki, but man. That’s not healthy.

Prototype 2 Alex Mercer, like I said, would likely be on board with the Clowns, but probably only from a philosophical sense. He agrees with their surface level stuff - the world is awful, people need to be killed, nothing matters, releasing giant monsters that kill millions is hilarious, innocent people deserve to be tortured, children are fair game, cause terror for lols, work with the conspiracy that controls the world while also killing its members because that’s fun and convenient, etc. Whether or not he ends up joining them outright or being like Yamori or Horie is up in the air, but I imagine he’d not be allowed. Furuta’s very good at analysis so I assume he’d see Alex as a threat from the get go and would keep him at a distance at all times.

Most likely it would end up in some weird battle with Mercer and Furuta being the main combatants just screwing with each other using secret agents, and Kaneki’s just. Kaneki. And gets stuck in the middle of it, just barely surviving. P2′s Mercer’s “here’s free viral powers kids” probably translates to kakuho implantation that’s even more casual than Eto’s, and his ability to just fire off viral clouds everywhere would most likely translate to him having the ability to just blast Dragon toxin. Alex in P2 gyrates pretty violently between “invincible and impossibly incompetent” to “literally so incompetent he gives the person trying to kill him the power to kill him and slowly feeds him powerups while letting them ruin his plans before stepping in and immediately giving up once a single attempt to murder them doesn’t work and then decides to go back to feeding them powerups until they can kill him” so.

I’m not sure if he’d like, do what Furuta did to Kaneki and give him the power to kill him, only entirely on purpose instead of accidentally, or if he’d just. Instantly vaporize all of his opponents.

He probably gives Eto, Kaneki, and Mutsuki power ups and then goes around trying to piss them off while claiming he’d trying to destroy V and Furuta. And he would actually, really, be trying to stop V and Furuta, but also he wouldn’t be, and he’s be working with them, but he wouldn’t.

He’d go to America, kill Heller’s family, and then turn Heller into a OEG that kills him.

You didn’t mention Heller, but there’s no way he’d be okay with V or the Clowns or probably even Anteiku (because Anteiku okayed set up civilian hunting grounds). He’d also oppose Aogiri Tree for the same reasons I think post Prototype 1 Alex would, but he might work with them like he did Rooks if he saw them as useful. The moment Furuta marches out the Oggai, if it came to that, he’d probably just go right for Furuta. The only reason Heller doesn’t do this with Mercer is because Mercer is hiding, but otherwise he’s pretty keen on just going to his current target and punching them in the face out in broad daylight surrounded by witnesses. And turning a bunch of children into the Oggai and having them go around slaughtering people would definitely set Heller off.

The story would also go off the rails.

I mean if you mean a One Eyed Ghoul with amnesia running around NYC slowly unraveling the secret surrounding V’s American Branch in the form of Blackwatch and imaging a scenario? I think that would be pretty cool, personally.

TG 141

There’s a lot of potential for a Tokyo Ghoul game in the style of Prototype. A lot of the powers that work in Prototype feel like they’d feel right at home in Tokyo Ghoul and vice verse. Eg the wallrunning could be explain with kagune wallrunning that Eto and Kaneki show. You could have a spiritual successor to Cross and some overarching super ghoul investigator counterpart to Arima, but his thing would be entirely different?

TG 112, 138

Less Arima’s “this literally doesn’t make sense, how did Arima hit that attack, he’s literally not holding anything and how did he just shoot lightning out of his quinque that can’t shoot lightning when he’s got that quinque in a box I originally thought this was an art mistake but he literally just keeps doing impossible things and they’re even lampshading in the manga so wait did he pull out Narukami and put it back into the box just to troll???”

(I think ishida does stuff like this where he messes with things like this for artistic reasons in this case it entirely works and helps hit home how invincible Arima is, and I originally thought it was art mistakes but it’s not)

And more “Shinohara, but on steroids”. Cross in Prototype was a very maneuverable surprisingly well armed opponent who could take a beating relative to most other enemies you faced outside of, for example, the Supreme Hunter. Similar type of opponent but also different. Like have the guy use multiple +SS and SSS rate quinques as standard, and he’s also got an SSS rate kakuja quinque and he can take a beating because of it, too. Not that he’s unskilled; he’s very skilled, just less so than Arima. Maybe have him also be the final boss like Arima was the final boss in the original Tokyo Ghoul, but just make him an absolute monster that completely and utterly destroys people. Maybe even have it be a no win scenario to fight the guy? Have it come up that “oh well this guy right here is attacking your friends but if you fight him, you’re going to die no matter what, don’t risk it” and you have a choice and if you choose to fight him, the game switches genres to horror and you just die. Not an easy fight to die in either.

They should definitely make a game about that. Just, spiritual successor to the original Prototype and have Detwiller and Ishida just run wild with the insane conspiracy theory story and their under the radar references to their knowledge of the military, economics, Kafka, numbers, trolling, and Lovecraft.

Just make the story impossible to understand, you know? You have to find 248 different cutscenes to get part of the story explicitly, and to unlock some of the cutscenes you have to hack into the game code to pull out poems made out of ASCII images of Ishida’s art. But to get the art, you have to pull a bunch of stuff off of twitter, relatively obscure secondary material, and some of it has to be found long after the launch of the game. Like, just maybe throw a random string of numbers into an art book released a year after the game was launched and have the numbers related to the code just hidden and you just... can’t find them? But only maybe, you’re not sure.

Throw Walt Williams from Spec Ops: The Line in there too. Have him contribute. All decisions are simultaneously wrong and correct at the same time. Nothing makes sense - but it totally does. You know what you’re doing is wrong. Or do you? None of these horrors would have happened if you’d just stopped, but you can’t stop. Not now, not when you’re so close. This person you’re pursuing, they’re definitely the bad guy. You’re in the clear. You’re not being tricked, you’re not mistaken, you made these decisions rationally. Your friends are in danger, you’re not bringing danger to them.

You feel so powerful and then boom, it happens. snap back to reality. And you should have seen it coming, but you didn’t. It’s not that it wasn’t there, it’s just that you weren’t looking - you decided “I’m not going to look”. You ignored what was right in front of you for some silly fantasy and it all hurts so much and oh god, everything is burning, help help help. Why didn’t anyone listen, I feel so alone.

and then have another spinoff spiritual successor flip from tokyo to new york in a surprise twist and it turns out that you were just starring in the villains’ self insert selfcest genderbender trollfic the e n t i r e t i m e or something it’s ambiguous I guess you gotta figure it out and no one will believe you and everything is just trolling

not sending this to start shit or anything but im kinda surprised you stan spuffy considering the whole uh attempted rape thing?

No worries! I know you’re not tryna start shit, I’ve seen enough assholes who wanna start shit over Spuffy to know what that looks like, and I don’t believe you’re doing that. It’s a good question and I’m actually glad you asked because I really should’ve said something about it before! This is gonna get kinda long, but the rest of my Buffy related asks get super long too so I can’t really say this is a rare occurrence lol

So basically, I’m able to really separate Seeing Red from Spuffy as a whole because of a few reasons. One, this is a magical universe where vampires are real, demons exist, and you’re able to not have a soul. The thing is, if this was a regular universe with human rules, I wouldn’t be able to ship Spuffy. It would feel gross. And honestly, I do still hate how much I love them, but I’ll get into that later. The thing is though, in this universe, Spike *didn’t have a soul.* He had a chip, yes. But not a soul. And we’ve seen the evil that vampires do without a soul. Look at all the evil that Angel did without *his* soul.

Meanwhile, Spike was able to exercise some form of compassion without a soul (whether he could feel actual true love is debatable...I’d say that in his own twisted way, yes, he DID love Buffy and Dru and he did have a genuine fondness for Joyce and Dawn) and I think that sorta makes people forget that he was still a literal soulless demon.

If Spike had just gone off after Seeing Red, channeled Angel by brooding in the dark for awhile, pitied himself a bit, and came back to Buffy without a soul asking for forgiveness...well, I would have been PISSED that Joss had Buffy forgive him after what he did. And if this was just a regular world, no vampires, demons, or forces of darkness, and Spike was just a regular human dude who, like, went to jail or something, then I’d be even MORE pissed if the writers made Buffy forgive him and love him. But the fact of the matter is, Spike got his soul back. And that’s HUGE. That’s a massive change. We as an audience and Buffy as a person are able to KNOW for 100% certain that he’s changed because of that. We know he’s a different man, in a way we’d never be able to tell with an actual human man.

On top of that, if we’re able to separate Angel from all the pure evil he did as Angelus, we need to separate soulless Spike vs. souled Spike too. Not to mention, Xander did the exact same thing in The Pack way back in Season 1. Only Xander lied about it so he wouldn’t have to take any responsibility for it, and he HAD a soul. But anti-Spuffy people always seem to leave that out (that came out a lot more combative than I mean it to sound but I don’t know how to reword it to sound less mean, so just please know I’m genuinely not attacking you by saying that!!!)

Look, I *hate* what Spike did. I hate that Joss & Gang wrote it. I know they wrote it merely to get Spike to get his soul so that he can save the world with the amulet at the end of the series, and that makes it worse, because they literally used attempted rape as a fucking plot device. But that’s another reason I’m ok with shipping Spuffy: Seeing Red was more the result of terrible writing than natural character development.

And look, I really do feel shitty for loving Spuffy so much, because yeah, I DO know how problematic it is. Trust me, I know. But, lastly, we’re allowed to enjoy things that are bad, as long as it’s not hurting us or anyone else, and as long as we know WHY it’s bad. I know all the reasons Spuffy is gross. But I also know that it’s just a TV show that ended like 20 years ago, and I’m able to just enjoy it for what it is. That’s why I call myself Spuffy trash. I know it’s garbage, but it’s my garbage, and I love it.

I’ve been watching this show since I was a kid, and Spike and Buffy were pretty much my first ever ship, so they’re really sentimental to me. Hell, I even bought a leather duster at the thrift store when I was like 12 because I wanted to be like Spike so bad lol. Also you can’t tell me “I can be alone with you here” isn’t the most unintentionally romantic thing you’ve ever heard someone say because c��mon that shit is everything I want in a relationship lol

Pairing: Doyoung X Reader

Genre: Fluff (maybe some angst in future chapters), Best Friend’s Brother!au, Fake Girlfriend!au

Words: 1,255

Summary: ↯

You get invited to your best friend’s family dinner despite not being family by both your best friend, and her brother. Both for completely different reasons. Your best friend simply wants your company, but Doyoung just doesn’t want to get caught lying about having a girlfriend. That’s when you come in.

Note: I know I’m not that good at writing quite yet, but I’m working on it. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. Please enjoy!

“Y/N!” You hear your name being called out in the crowded hallway . You turn around to see none other than your best friend, Daeun.

“What do you want?” You questioned with a playful smile.

“Nothing. I just missed you,” she grinned, coming up to you for a hug.

You quickly hugged her back and laughed, “Didn’t we see eachother yesterday, though?”

Daeun looked at you with a pout, “Exactly! That was yesterday!” Your smile got wider at her clinginess. Most people would think you’d get annoyed at some point, but honestly, it was in some way endearing.

The two of you walked to your first class together with mindless chatter until she brought up something about a family gathering. Honestly, you weren’t really paying much attention.

“Wait,” You interrupt with your hand up.

”What?” She asked.

“I wasn’t listening. Can you repeat that?” You asked with a sheepish smile.

Daeun lightly shoved your shoulder with a smile and whined, “Hey, your dear best friend was talking and you weren’t even listen?”

You mouthed a quick ‘sorry’ before Daeun gave you a recap. “So there’s this family dinner next Saturday and I was wondering if you could come?” she asked with her puppy-like expression.

“Dude, I’m not even blood related to you,” you argued.

“Y/N, you know how much I hate my cousins. I need someone that I can tolerate to keep me company. And plus, my mom told me I could invite you since you’re practically family,” Daeun retorted.

You still didn’t want to intrude on an occasion that was strictly for family. “What about Doyoung? And Donghyun? Can’t they keep you company?” You asked, still not wanting to see yourself in such an awkward situation.

Daeun shook her head. “Donghyun is bringing Krystal and Doyoung said he’d bring his girlfriend, which I had no idea he had, by the way. I guess he finally got tired of mom nagging him to get one for so long,” She informed you.

Your felt your heart clench at the mention of Doyoung having a girlfriend, but you recovered quickly for the sake of his sister and your best friend being right in front of you. You had had a crush on Doyoung ever since the two of you were kids, but never once did you think of the possibility that he might get a girlfriend that wasn’t you. Of course he has a girlfriend. He’s one of the best people you’ve ever met. You felt dumb for not even considering it.

“So will you go?” Daeun asked once again.

You swallowed your dry throat and nodded your head, trying to present your usual smile. “Yay!” Daeun cheered.

“It’s formal, by the way,” she added.

Your teacher walked in making his introductions before starting the lesson. It was boring, to say the least, but you were distracted throughout the entire period wondering about Doyoung, and his girlfriend that you had yet to meet.   

Before you knew it, the class had already ended. Students began to pack up as soon as the bell rang, some cleaning up earlier to get out as fast as possible. “See you at lunch later!” Daeun waved.

The next few classes went quickly, and before long, it was already lunch. You made your way to the pastries, which were decent, as everyone knows that school meals are literal crap. You walked to you and Daeun’s usual table to see her sitting with some guy she’s been talking about in her Physics class. You stopped, not sure what to do.

“Y/N! This is Jaehyun, you know, the guy from Physics that’s been helping me,” Daeun introduced. You and Jaehyun quickly greeted one another before he went back to the conversation he was having with Daeun before you got there. You ate your pastry quietly and glimpsed at your best friend making heart eyes at the boy across from her. It was awkward, so you decided to do them and yourself, a favor.

“Hey, um, I have a test I have to do some last minute studying on, so I’ll leave, if that’s alright with you,” you mumbled out. Daeun looked at you confused at first before you quickly darted your eyes between her and Jaehyun. “O-Oh. Yeah. Good luck on that test,” She responded.

You got up and made your way out of the cafeteria, not before giving Daeun a wink and a ‘subtle’ thumbs up. She glanced at you and smiled gratefully.

That ‘last minute studying’ thing? Yeah, you lied. You pulled out your phone and earbuds, enjoying the peacefulness of your surroundings.

You suddenly saw someone from your peripheral vision. You jumped a bit, startled at the sudden body that plopped down right beside you.

You turn your head to see Doyoung with his happy, gummy smile directed at you. “Sorry. Did I scare you?” He laughed.

“A little bit,” You replied softly and found yourself blushing.

The two of you stayed quiet, both nervous and you broke the silence, “So, what did you want?”

Doyoung looked at you as if he forgot what he came there for. He snapped out of his gaze and stuttered out, “Right. Uh, so you know that family thing on Saturday?” You nodded slowly, not knowing what this was leading to.

“Okay, so. I may or may not have told my mom that I had a girlfriend. But here’s the thing. I--” He stopped himself. He sighed and brought his hand up to his hair.

“I don’t have one,” he finished.

You looked at him, puzzled. “What do you mean you don’t have a girlfriend? Daeun told me you’d bring her to the family dinner?” Doyoung shook his head.

“I told mom I had one so she’d stop bugging me, but she insisted I bring my ‘girlfriend’ to the dinner. This is kinda sorta when you come in,” he started. Doyoung turned to fully face you and the words that rushed out of his mouth aught you bt total surprise.

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

Your mouth dropped open a bit as soon as he asked. “Girlfriend?” You asked, stunned.

“Fake girlfriend, I mean,” He reworded. You cleared your throat.

“Doyoung, I know this is important to you and all, but do you mind asking someone else?”

“Y/N, I don’t know if you know this, but I’m not that good at talking to girls. You’re literally the only one I can ask. Please. Please do this for me. Do I need to bribe you? I can drive you to school everyday for the rest of the year? I can buy you any food you want off campus when you want it? I can--” You cut him off.

“Doyoung. You don’t need to do any of that stuff. I’ll be your girlfriend.”

Doyoung’s worried expression was quickly turned into one of disbelief. “Really? You’ll actually do it?” He asked hopefully.

A small smile appeared on your face as you nodded. The gummy grin quickly appeared back onto his face and he immediately lunged onto you for a hug, one that you had not shared since you were children. You hugged him back, enjoying it while it lasted. You could feel the butterflies in your stomach flutter their wings a hell of a lot faster as he held you. It felt good. You weren’t gonna lie to yourself. When he pulled away, you could see the ever so apparent grin still on his face.

A sudden thought came to mind. “So who’s gonna tell Daeun?”

Note: The only reason I made up ‘Daeun’ as Doyoung’s sister was so that all three siblings (Donghyun, Dongyoung, and Daeun) would be known as DDD. I am not sorry for this.

"As an ace girl, ace girls are made out of shadows and void. We are the night. Fear us. Unless you have sacrifices of cake to placate us." that post was for wlw you derailing piece of shit fuck off why do cishets need to make everything about them jesus fucking christ

So first off I’d like to say that I’m not… super upset about this? Just sort of confused. I’d also like to point out a couple of weak spots in your… not sure I can even call this an argument, but sure, for the sake of education.

First off, and probably most importantly tbh: relax. Just - chill for a sec, okay? Breathe for a second. Idk if you’re having a rough day or a rough week, but you seem kind of tense. It’s okay to be tense. Less okay to take it out on other people, like me and at least one friend I know you targeted.

Now that that’s settled. Calm? Calmer, at least? Good. I’m glad.

Worth noting that this was about this post: http://dragonheartftherpays.tumblr.com/post/161354000784/rainconfettis-wlwromance-lesbians-are-made

I can actually kinda sorta understand why you might be irritated with aces poking into this, since it was sort of meant for wlw, but hear me out.

First of all, right to the point:

“why do cishets need to make everything about them”

There, I’m afraid you’re simply uninformed or mistaken. Asexuality, by definition, is not the same thing as heterosexuality. Therefore, an ace person cannot be cishet, as cishet (which isn’t the Evil™thing some parts of Tumblr have made it, by the way) by definition means “cisgender and heterosexual (and, I would argue, heteroromantic).” Calling an ace person cishet is simply incorrect, never mind acephobic.

“that post was for wlw”

Now this actually doesn’t apply to me as much since I’m questioning aromantic, but it does apply to a lot of other aces, so I’m going to say it anyway: aces can be wlw. The term “wlw” stands for “women loving women,” and yes, usually it refers to lesbian, bi, and pan girls, but believe it or not, ace girls can be wlw as well - through romantic orientation.

Sexual orientation and romantic orientation are actually two separate things, and while they often align (bisexual-biromantic, asexual-aromantic, etc.), they also frequently don’t. Sexual orientation classifies the people you are sexually attracted to, while romantic orientation classifies the people you are romantically attracted to - the people you fall in love with. Being a homoromantic-asexual, biromantic-asexual, polyromantic-asexual, or panromantic-asexual girl can easily classify you as wlw, if you choose to use that term for yourself. Being an ace girl doesn’t necessarily mean you fall under the wlw category like being a pan, bi, (some) poly, or lesbian girl, but it can mean that if the ace girl in question identifies as homorom, birom, polyrom, or panrom.

Third?

“shut the f*** up you homophobic piece of s***”

[censored for profanity because I’m a decent human being who doesn’t need to curse to make my point]

I don’t see where I went homophobic with this. Even if we were going to ignore all the points I just made, I still don’t see where I was homophobic. And please, correct me (politely, please; there’s no need for the crude language you used in your first messages) if I’m wrong, because I’ve been wrong before, but I never put down anyone else. I never argued that anyone else was less than aces. I would never, ever want to do such a thing - all I want is to be represented and to be seen. I never said anything that I see as homophobic, and I’m honestly just confused as to where you got that.

This was probably pointless, since people who send these kinds of messages don’t usually want to listen to reason, but I hope you read it anyway. Or, if you don’t, I hope someone does who thought along similar lines to you beforehand, and I hope I managed to teach them something.

But listen to this, if nothing else, because this is very important:

Next time you decide to send a message like this?

Turn off your computer. You don’t need to make anyone’s life harder. Maybe the person you want to yell at deserves it, and maybe not, but you don’t know what’s going on in their life. Me, I’m a very stable person who isn’t easily ruffled by random people on the Internet screaming things that just plain aren’t true, interspaced with curses in place of punctuation, at me. But some people might be seriously hurt by a message like this. I don’t want anyone getting hurt if they don’t need to, and I don’t honestly think you do either. I understand you might be angry, but try to think before you send a message like this. Think about how you would feel if you got it in your inbox, or message of similar wording and tone. Would you be angry? Upset? Anxious? Depressed? If you answered “yes” to any of those, don’t send it - or at the very least, reword it so that it’s in a calmer tone.

Oh, and try to remember to do your research next time you go accusing somebody - because no matter how loud you scream a lie, it’s still a lie, you’re still misinformed, and you still haven’t learned anything.
