Could I ask for some tidbits about Usva? In particular, I know they’re water/quintessence, so Im curious what their abilities are that relate to that! Maybe also just some trivia that not everyone may know about them? I love that tiny ghoul💜
Right, okay. Let’s start with water since it is their main element.
Usva can conjure water almost anywhere, either gathering it from nearby (lake, air, plants, ground etc) or from ”nowhere” as the element of water is in their being.
On a related note they can move themself with water like Moana in the disney movie. They mostly do it to get themself back in the lake shore after Hiillos yeets them in there. (That’s a whole story.)
One cool ability I also gave them is bloodbending, since blood has water in it Usva is able to manipulate it.
Moving onto quintessence. Usva was unaware of that part of their power until very recently before popping up at the Abbey. It is not their strongest gift but with Astra’s help they’ve learned to control it. Their main use for it is healing. They’re not particularly gifted with the whole ”spiritual” side of it. But it does help them to be able to feel out others moods.
Being a siren and having unknowingly used quintessence their whole life to charm speak and sing they have a strong affinity for vocal healing with quintessence.
Hence why Terzo took interest in them and ended up making them a permanent part of the tour crew to help soothe all the band’s singers vocal cords on tour.
Later Usva became a singing coach at the Abbey.
Some other fun trivia:
- Usva has a back fin and a spiked tail which glow silvery blue. Like Toothless’ back ”spikes” (Idk what to call them) in HTTYD 2
- Usva has a very creature way of moving, think of Valka in HTTYD 2. This comes from being all alone and feral in the Pit since very young.
- Usva has a cat called Cataria.

Hello well can I request​ 4 killer, cross and error headcanon​ with kind-heart s/o? Like s/o love to help other people get through​ their pain such as dream,in short is s/o is a goody-goody-two-shoes kind of person.
📎 Kindhearted S/O Headcanons ★
Tumblr media
Featuring: Killer!Sans, XTale!Sans, Error!Sans
#Notes: IM BACKKKKK SORRY GUYS LOLOLOL. EAT UP U LIL SHITS
pronouns used: they/them
warnings: some suggestive content if you squint
Tumblr media
Killer Sans -
Killer thinks it’s beyond adorable. Seeing you so quick to drop everything to help somebody in need intrigues him so much, as he rarely feels actual emotions and empathy. Finds your goody-two-shoes behavior to be very motivating and such a breath of fresh air. It revives the small, faint, part inside of him that was the Sans he used to be.
Another thing is that they have a thing for innocent and naive types, all things untouched by life’s evils. The mere thought of corrupting somebody so sweet and kind is…. something they dwell on very often.
Don’t worry! He won’t hurt you, no, never. He just thinks that your relationship dynamic is funny.. the big bad wolf, Killer, who’s notorious for killing hundreds of innocent monsters without remorse or pity.. and the cute little kindhearted beauty at his side, untouched by all of his evils he has committed in his lifetime.
XTale Sans -
Your purity is exactly what made him fall for you. It’s the way you treat others with a type of kindness he hasn’t seen in so long, the one that he had longed for in his traumatized life. A life where he was stuck being some sort of sickening pawn under his father’s clawed fingertips.
Has an overwhelming instinct to protect you from everyone and everything, like some sort of untrained guard dog; biting, growling, and fighting off threats for the purpose of shielding you from the horrors of the multiverse, even though this protection may or may not be needed.
He can’t have another loved one leave, he just can’t. He loves you too much for you to get hurt like everyone else, he has to protect you. Everybody in the multiverse has a sick cruelness in their souls and he can’t let the light of his life be tainted with their diseases.
Nothing you say will have stop him from being overprotective and afraid of anything and everything.
Error Sans -
Kindness is not something often found in the multiverse, and especially not standing before the very force that stuck down many worlds, ended many lives, and showed no mercy or pity to those they faced against.
And then there was you, who dared flash their sweet smile, friendly words, and sympathetic nature to the destroyer of worlds. They were shaken, this was new, this was peculiar. They had never seen such a phenomenon before.
And so, they study you, they fall in love with you, they take you under their wing.
They couldn’t let the world see something that was only meant for their sockets, and their sockets only. In the multiverse, the strongest take what they want and take what they wanted, Error did. They had to take advantage of this, they couldn’t risk having anybody else having a taste of this.
They didn’t do it to protect you, they did it because they’re lonely, and all who have not friends, allies, or companions want more then they were destined to have. And so, they became selfish, and took you for their own. Have fun.

this song got me thinking of Prohero!Katsuki x ObsidianQuirk!Reader… who keeps dragging him into her little games of toying with the law.. and his thoughts.
Reader isn’t a notorious villain or anyone too special, but they have a pretty neat quirk that they like to put to use every now and then. As long as they get a laugh out of it, really. They can manipulate magma from the earth and utilize it to their liking, including hardening the elements within the material and creating obsidian structures. It’s not overly noticeable if it’s not used to its full potential, and it can easily exhaust them if used to much, but what’s wrong with a little fun here and there?
Recently, some gangs of low end scumbags have been committing crimes around katsuki’s patrolling grounds- childish stuff like stealing money and merchandise from gas stations and small businesses and trying to run away after. However, upon reaching the scene of these crimes, the criminals are already knocked out and tied up by some, what looks like obsidian chain link, but the even more annoying part? Everything the tied up criminals attempted to steal on their own is completely missing, plus a few extra items here and there.
…weird.there’s no hero that he’s aware of that has a quirk capable of doing that, and if there was why hasn’t it been reported that they would be in his area? Also what hero captures people and then walks away with valuables?
This continues for a couple weeks, and it starts to drive the hero into frustration.
Until that is, today.
It was time for the hero to end his patrol and head back to the agency when he heard some commotion ahead. Picking up his pace, katsuki was ready to catch whoever was around the corner when he came face to face with Reader. Laughing softly at the group of teenage boys in front of her, two of them were already knocked out and were currently being tied up in that familiar chain the pro has been busting blood vessels over.
The last standing of the group, dropped everything, running in the opposite direction before being completely knocked sideways by readers quirk and drug towards the rest of the boys on the ground.
“Alright! $250 that’s not bad, time to get the fuck outta he-“
Bending down to collect the random number of snacks and money the boys had previously taken from the gas station down the road, reader looked up.
Katsuki stood before her, completely dumbfounded.
A girl has been doing this? Seemingly about his age- and that quirk..is she a criminal too? She was going to just walk away with stuff!! Who could she be- she’s a decently attractive girl at first glance.. actually scratch that, she’s almost exactly his type in looks-
“This is awkward..uhm- Dynamight right?”
oh.. she knows who he is?.. well of course, he’s pretty known in the public and if she’s been knocking these thugs out and also stealing their stuff, she’s got to be aware of heros…but why is his heart fluttering a bit when she said his name, and why does he feel kind of intimidated right now?… uhm actually why are his legs not moving right now-
“Who the hell are you-“
“Y’know I would love to chat about all of this but I kinda don’t feel like being arrested today so I should get going!”
she used her quirk on him. She completely trapped his legs in her stupid fucking obsidian bullshit, and now she’s running off with money that isn’t hers, and leaving five knocked out idiots behind.
“HEY! WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE IM NOT DONE WITH YOU-“
Blasting out of her obsidian hold he darted around the corner to find her completely out of sight.
-
-
-
Weeks pass and Katsuki is still thinking about Reader. He’s even gone as far as requesting security footage from the local shops where recent crimes have taken place. He’s spent hours analyzing her quirk and trying to find any information he can about her through the static and choppy imaging.
After he couldn’t get much information himself, he sent his secretary to the commission office to get as much information about her as possible. The next morning, a stack of documents were placed on his desk.
(Y/N) (L/N)
Quirk : Obsidian Manipulation
Working Status : Retired Undercover Hero
Hero Name : Igneous
[Headshot]
a retired undercover hero? she’s so young though.. why would she be retired already-
“sir, you’re 2:00 is ready for you in the conference hall.”
“K.”
Katsuki takes a deep breath and gathers his thoughts. He’s got more important things he should be focusing on…not some criminal- no, ex undercover hero.. okay, an ex undercover hero who knocks thugs out but steals valuables- who has a decently good quirk and looked kinda attractive when she used it-
oh,
how the mighty fall…
(in love)
I rushed this but OH MY GAWD. I am obsessed with a dumbfounded very interested katsuki x kinda bad influence but also not horrible person reader. PLEASE, give me your thoughts + add on’s I want to expand this so bad. My head is SPINNING 😫🤌

[SECOND PART HERE!!!]
small note!!!: I am…. bad at characterising!!!! or at the very least, just bad at portraying characters accurately , so take every action these stupid sillies do with a grain of salt (it’s a first time for me !!!! hopefully it’ll be better the next time I do this!!!!)
SPECIAL THANKS TO MY POOKIE OF ALL TIME @egotisticalweirdo FOR HELPING WITH DIALOGUE BECAUSE I KID YOU NOT WHEN I FIRST SENT IN MY DRAFT TO THEM THEY TOLD ME AUGUSTINE SOUNDED WHITE AS HELL 💀
OHHHH MY GOD IM FINALLY DONE!!! AUGEIWHSKSJA IM GONNA CRY IVE NEVER DEDICATED THIS MUCH TIME FOR A PROJECT LIKE THIS… AT ALL… IM SO NOT USED TO THIS!!!
anyways I’m gonna ramble about past self’s bad decisions here BECASUE I KID YOU NOT I WAS KINDA BEATING MYSELF UP AFTER THE TWO WEEKS THIS TOOK !!!! WHY DID I THINK I COULD GET THIS DONE WITHIN TWO WEEKS THATS INSANE… so uh yeah this took a month because my motivations can only last that long before I get tired of doing the same thing!!! 
another thing! I am notoriously bad at keeping an artstyle! so if some scenes looks wonky or coloured weirdly or just different altogether, you can blame past me for somehow never taking note on how they did things. ALSO I DONT JNOW WHY THEYRE SHADED DIFFERENTLY!!!! I never got the memo of making things consistent oops that’s gonna be smth to work on…
anyways!!! Im still very happy I got this done!!! it sucked ass after the first two weeks but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to post this!!! I hope you guys enjoy!!!! I am sweating bullets as of typing this I do hope people like this

Propaganda
Loretta Young (The Farmer’s Daughter, The Stranger, Love is News)— Her cheekbones!! Her lips!! Her big eyes and small nose and not quite classical features!! The planes of her face hypnotize me and her smile clears my mind of anything else. She’s an interesting beauty, not a standard one, almost in a Mads Mikkelsen type way (I repeat: cheekbones). Also I’m begging people to watch The Farmer’s Daughter, a charming rom com where my babygirl Joseph Cotten falls through the ice while skating because he got distracted by how pretty she was, and where Loretta puts on a 40s-bad Swedish accent and runs for Congress! Girlboss!
Marlene Dietrich (Shanghai Express, Witness for the Prosecution, Morocco)—its marlene dietrich!!!! queer legend, easily the hottest person to ever wear a tuxedo, that hot hot voice, those glamorous glamorous movies.... most famously she starred in a string of movies directed by josef von sternberg throughout the 1930s, beginning with the blue angel which catapulted her to stardom in the role of the cabaret singer lola lola. known for his exquisite eye for lighting, texture, imagery, von sternberg devoted himself over the course of their collaborations to acquiring exceptional skill at photographing dietrich herself in particular, a worthy direction in which to expend effort im sure we can all agree. she collaborated with many other great directors of the era as well, including rouben mamoulian (song of songs), frank borzage (desire), ernst lubitsch (angel), fritz lang (rancho notorious), and billy wilder (witness for the prosecution). the encyclopedia britannica entry im looking at while compiling this propaganda describes her as having an “aura of sophistication and languid sexuality” which✔️💯. born marie magdalene dietrich, she combined her first and middle names to coin the moniker “marlene”. she was a trendsetter in her incorporation of trousers, suits, and menswear into her wardrobe and her androgynous allure was often remarked upon. critic kenneth tynan wrote, “She has sex, but no particular gender. She has the bearing of a man; the characters she plays love power and wear trousers. Her masculinity appeals to women and her sexuality to men.” in the 1920s she enjoyed the vibrant queer nightlife of weimar berlin, visiting gay bars and drag balls, and in hollywood her love affairs with men and women were an open secret. she was an ardent opponent of nazi germany, refusing lucrative contacts offered her to make films there, raising money with billy wilder to help jews and dissidents escape, and undertaking extensive USO tours to entertain soldiers with an act that included her a playing musical saw and doing a mindreading routine she learned from orson welles. starting in the 50s and continuing into the mid-70s she worked largely as a cabaret artist touring the world to large audiences, employing burt bacharach as her musical arranger.
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
"ms dietrich....ms dietrich pls.....sit on my face"
Tumblr media
"First of all, there are those publicity photos of her in a tux. Second of all, I have never been the same since knowing that she sent copies of those photos to her Berlin lovers signed "Daddy Marlene." Not only is she hot in all circumstances, but she can do everything from earthy to ice queen. Also, she kept getting sexy romantic lead parts in Hollywood after the age of 40, which would be rare even now. She hated Nazis, loved her friends, and had a sapphic social circle in Hollywood. She also had cheekbones that could cut glass and a voice that could melt you."
Tumblr media
Bisexual icon, super hot when dressed both masculine and feminine, lived up her life in the queer Berlin scene of the 1920s, central to the 'sewing circle' of the secret sapphic actresses of Old Hollywood, refused lucrative offers by the Nazis and helped Jews and others under persecution to escape Nazi Germany, the love of my life
Her GENDER her looks her voice her everything
Tumblr media
“In her films and record-breaking cabaret performances, Miss Dietrich artfully projected cool sophistication, self-mockery and infinite experience. Her sexuality was audacious, her wit was insolent and her manner was ageless. With a world-weary charm and a diaphanous gown showing off her celebrated legs, she was the quintessential cabaret entertainer of Weimar-era Germany.”
Tumblr media
"The bar scene in Morocco awoke something in me and ultimately changed my gender"
youtube
"Her manner, the critic Kenneth Tynan wrote, was that of ‘a serpentine lasso whereby her voice casually winds itself around our most vulnerable fantasies.’ Her friend Maurice Chevalier said: ‘Dietrich is something that never existed before and may never exist again.’”
"Songstress, photographer, fashion icon, out bisexual phenom (notoriously stole Lupe Velez and Joan Crawford's men, and Errol Flynn's wife, had a torrid affair with Greta Garbo that ended in a 60-year feud, other notable conquests including Erich Maria Remarque -yes, the guy who wrote All Quiet on the Western Front- Douglas Fairbanks Junior, Claudette Colbert, Mercedes de Acosta, Edith Piaf), anti-Nazi activist. Marlene was a bitch - she had an open marriage for decades and one of her favorite things was making catty commentary about her current lover with her husband, and her relationship with her daughter was painful- but she was also immensely talented, a hard worker, an opponent of fascism and the hottest ice queen in Hollywood for a long time."
youtube
"She can sing! She can act! She told the Nazis to fuck off and became a US citizen out of spite! She worked with other German exiles to create a fund to help Jews and German dissidents escape (she donated an entire movie salary, about $450k, to the cause). She looks REALLY GOOD in a suit. If you're not convinced, please listen to her sing "Lili Marlene". Absolutely gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice."
Tumblr media
Gifset link

"Bisexual icon and Nazi-hater. Looks absolutely stunning in the suits she liked to wear. 'I dress for the image. Not for myself, not for the public, not for fashion, not for men'."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Did a bunch of humanitarian work during ww2, pretty sure a shot of her from Shanghai express was the inspiration for one of queens album covers and also her in the suit in Morocco (1930) CHANGED LIVES. I’m sure she’s already been submitted but I wanted an opportunity to submit one of my favourite pictures of her for the poll"

there were other ways calypso and leo’s relationship couldve been written, in this essay i will
this isnt a hot take at all but caleo just has. so many problems. im not gonna list em but anyone who’s read hoo and toa knows
so how could it have been written better? here are my (a non writer who has shit articulation) opinions, please be nice
1. They date, then break up
this feels like a likely thing to happen bcs as we know, leo is notoriously flirty and seeking relationships and calypso falls in love REAL easily. so ofc, being stuck on an island together with no other company for like weeks on end would lead to a relationship of some kind. though i think that relationship would most likely be. unhealthy.
so yeah, theyd get together, but itd probably start showing problems very quickly as we see in TOA. but from there, i think they shouldve broken up. maybe it could be caused by an outside intervention from someone who. maybe has better experience with healthy relationships. jiper being an example, since they broke up after piper realized their relationship was basically started with lies.
once they broke up, leo could learn that romance isnt a cure all (cough rick cough) and that he doesnt need a partner to ‘fit in’. the whole seventh wheel thing was a big part of his characterization so i think unlearning that whole mess would be a good thing for him, esp since TOA had a lot of ‘growing and developing and changing’ as a theme. he could learn to define and support himself outside of his relationship with women (mommy issuesss)
calypso could also learn to support herself and have relationships with people that arent unrequited crushes, what with how her only human interaction was with random men who couldnt stay.
2. They stay as friends
Basically same character benefits as the last one, just different methods.
Leo realizes he doesnt like calypso in that way on the island during that time itself, maybe due to self reflection or something. maybe they have an intervention/impromptu therapy session or something and figure themselves out. not like they have much else to do on the island
this way, we get to see him figure out (is that the right word?) that being friends w/ women isnt automatically a gateway to romance. that its not so simple. that he can have close friends without having to date anyone (+ possible aro rep here but thats just me projecting) then from there, he can develop this further and come to terms that he doesnt need a romantic relationship to be loved etc etc
3. They stay together, but it’s established as. not good
now for this one i think its less likely since this entire thing is still sorta a kids book series and authors dont usually include these types of topics without it being resolved, but it is something to think about
caleo’s relationship in TOA felt pretty icky at least to me, so i imagine it isnt setting the best example for kids if its portrayed as normal/a good thing
in this method, their relationship could stay but just be more established as not normal and unhealthy bcs. it kinda is
anyways thats my ted talk. please dont kill me im bad at articulating

What the hell are we supposed to do about America?
I’m asking anyone who sees this to repost, add tags, and add insight and extra information to this if possible. Even if it isn’t your usual type of content or even if you think this stuff doesn’t apply to you, please share it anyways. If anything, I just need confirmation that people are seeing what I have to say and that they perhaps share my thoughts. I know this is a lot but I tried to make it as clear and easy to read and understand as I could.
As a history fan, I’ve been having a really hard time recently. And im sure a lot of people know why.
Im scared right now. Im tired. And Im angry. Im constantly being overtaken by all of these emotions and I don’t even know where to begin to direct that passion and those feelings.
People everywhere, especially online, are talking about whats going on in the United States right now. A lot of people are talking about leaving and for most, thats really not an option. Most are calling for us to fight back and to stand up against what’s happening and what’s going to happen.
But how do you even start to do that? WHERE do you start? I’m among the many people who have asked those questions. We’re AWARE of what’s going on, we KNOW. And yet we feel stuck because what in the world are you even supposed to do?
History always repeats itself - it’s like bad film remakes of classics that didn’t need to be reimagined. So I decided to go back to one of my favourites of the remakes - the American Revolution. I’m not going to tell you that i did extensive research that lasted several hours and combed over hoards of reputable sources, because i didn’t. I did a singular Google search and opened one website. “What events led up to the American Revolution?” And I opened a link for the Massachusetts Historical Society (provided on this post).
All i needed was a basic summary and understanding of the several events and happenings that led to a war and entire reformation of a country, because i just needed to genuinely know - how the FUCK did they do that.
DISCLAIMER: I’m not telling anyone to praise and/or worship the “Founding Fathers” for what they did way back in the 1700s. I’m not saying they were good people who did good things; in fact we know that as individuals, a lot of them were pretty shitty. No one should be worshipping any one person or group of people - dare i say thats what got us into this mess we’re in right now. So telling you to look up to these dead white men and make them like gods is the absolute LAST thing i’m trying to do. But one thing they did right was incite massive change. And thats what we all need too. So i think its at least helpful to look back at what they did because clearly - it worked.
I screenshotted the main page of the website i linked and i think i’m just going to let the words there speak for themselves because some of it sounds eerily similar to some problems we’re facing or will face soon (This post is also long enough already). I implore you to go to the website and read more about each of these things and even do your own research. The similarities between human history and modern day issues absolutely do not stop here. I marked and highlighted parts that I personally believe are pretty prevalent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just adding a little bit of insight to the second to last point: Washington kind of notoriously didn’t want to lead the people. And he certainly didn’t want to be President. But often times, the people who don’t want to be in positions of leadership and power are the people who are most fit to do so. Because they understand the responsibilities and what it means to be in such a position. Beware of people who yearn for power and strive to be in leadership positions…
This is absolutely not much - but I did this because I just needed to know. I needed to be reminded that this level of change was possible once. I’m more than aware that things are different now. Even though the story is the same, the characters and the finer details are different and far more complex. Even if we tried, I couldn’t say for sure that it would work. America isn’t 13 colonies anymore. It’s 50 established states - 48 mainland, and 2 islands on opposite sides of the map. MILLIONS of people. How do you spread the word to that many? We have access to much quicker communication now, but thats both a blessing and a curse. The revolution was also during a time when those in charge at the state level were far more aware and involved with the communities they oversaw and represented. Things that happened then are just either extremely difficult or even impossible to replicate today.
But in my opinion (which is nowhere near expert), I think the one thing we should try to do is unite as much as possible. I know it’s extremely, extremely difficult to see eye to eye these days. I’m not asking anyone to make friends or agree with people who have dangerous and harmful views. But the best way to keep power over mass amounts of people is to keep them blind and separated - keep them weak and unaware of how strong they could be if they worked together. A few people may not be able to push an immovable obstacle - but hundreds? Thousands? They could break one.
Rather than arguing, please try to educate. At the end of the day, there is something that everyone can agree on. Find something and expand upon that. If people are worried about groceries and taxes and those things, then do what you can to learn about that and explain what can ACTUALLY be done to fix those things. Show them the truth, show them whats being done and explain how its working AGAINST the people, not FOR us. If you can agree on ONE THING, perhaps thats a start.
Its time to have those uncomfortable conversations that we try to ignore or avoid at family gatherings. I’m going to work on it myself, because I am not a strong speaker in real life. It took me over 2 hours to curate and write this post, imagine if i had to come up with things on the spot💀 When discussing polarising topics with friends and family who dont agree with your stance, please please try to educate them rather than belittle them for having incorrect or harmful information. People who are on .. that side prefer to yell, talk over others, argue, bring up random things, place blame, and change topics. They do that because deep down, I believe they know that they’re wrong. So instead of talking respectfully and civilly, they get loud and obnoxious because they want to confuse and fluster you. And it’s easy to give in, especially when it’s just you against others. If you ever feel you’ll be in danger for speaking up in those moments, then PLEASE do what you believe is necessary to keep yourself safe. But for those of you who can, I just want you to try. Yea, it’s going to make family gatherings uncomfortable. But at this point, that’s a small price to pay. I understand cutting off old friends and family members who have harmful views and spread harmful rhetoric. But IF YOU CAN, please try to make them agree with you on SOMETHING. Because it’s a start.
The higher powers want people to be divided - pointing fingers at each other and other things, placing blame on anything else other than the real cause of the problems. Because they want you to be blind to the real threat, which is them.
This is so fucking corny and i can’t believe im about to write this and believe it but honestly…
United is the ONLY way we can stand now. But currently .. we’re anything but United.

What is your opinion on uhhhhh
Monster hunter stories (the first one) being ported to the switch?
Or just your opinion on stories 1-2 in general?
First I'm SO sorry for answering so late, brain is a siv with the release of Wilds. Only two of us mods have played the Stories series (as far as I'm aware) Modzutsune and I (Modlagi) - to which I've played both the original Stories and Stories 2, and am slowly replaying Stories on the switch!
To limit my unhinged rambling on the blog, I really enjoyed Stories as a whole, it's a lot goofier in the first game, and the power of friendship is the thing of the games so it can get a lil hammered in. But I thouroughly had a fun time playing the games and would enjoy a third Stories just to have more lil monster friends! The port so far has been really good, its still just the 3DS game but the voice acting from 2 and Port have been very good (if Reverto's is still a lil jarring from the deep one of the 3DS version. Still love our bug terified probably high hunter lad <3). One thing I do really like of the Stories games is sticking to the stylisation of the old world, the new world graphics are gorgeous don’t get me wrong but, there’s something just neat about utilising more limited palettes and models to really make monsters pop!
I want the buddy system of 2 to stay if there’s a 3 because replaying 1 has felt a lot lonelier in terms of npcs because of it (and Reverto hits and tanks well and I miss that when a Kirin slaughters me with its 3 hit bs-) Uh, here’s also a “just barely off the damage cap” screenshot too of when I got a Thunderlord Zinogre from half health - Modlagi ⚡

hello hello! Modzutsune here, completely forgot about this for a solid while alongside energy explosions leaving me exhausted, i've only played Stories 2 and i haven't really completed it so take that as you will
its a neat game, i haven't really bothered to finish it because at some point the battle system just. stopped appealing to me i guess? maybe it's because i miss the funny little clashes because i started taking fuck amount of damage everytime i did. it was kind of fun trying to guess what attack types monsters fell into from my own personal knowledge
i did however, get somewhat bored of it all after hitting... maybe the volcano area? something of that sort. just didn't have the same spark as when i first started. it's not a bad game per se, the story is. notorious for what it is, even if it has its small funny moments. and i did enjoy the gameplay a lot- but i don't really know if i'll ever finish it as of writing?
it hits the same vibe as a mainline Pokemon game in that aspect. the gameplay i mean. and as such whatever mysterious reason i have for never being able to replay a mainline, that also applies here as well.
overall, very nice concept- and fun enough execution. stylistically extremely charming, but ultimately something im on the fence about - Modzutsune 🫧

okay i probably would've asked more abt your bsb thoughts sooner except i got shy. but i'm going insane rn so i gotta ask.... your thoughts on zeo. bc when i watched v-force nearly 2 years ago the robot twist took me out for like an entire day and now i'm still insane about them. like it's ridiculous but also really fucked up when you think abt it. and if/when you get to the manga. well i haven't read most of it EXCEPT for volumes 7-9 and vol 9..... ough. manga zeo my also beloved. i think abt this kid and their fucked up ass dad so much
omg im gonna lose my mind i just spent so much time typing the anwser to this and tumblr just DELETED IT ARE YOU KIDDING ME😭 sigh okay ill do it again ig...
i read the manga+rising but the manga version of zeo didnt really stand out to me so im gonna talk about the anime version of him only.
The season hes in, v force, is notoriously fucking boring (i knew this before watching v force even though i stayed out of any info abt bsb to avoid spoilers AND i still knew, imagine that) its like an entire season of filler but the character who stands out the most is Zeo obviously. ozuma/ozma is there too but eh. standing out in v force isnt saying much considering its not really intresting but that doesnt mean i hate him. hes .. neat but i dont think about him a lot.
in the anime when they first started hinting at something being off with zeo (and learning who his father is) my IMMIDIATE guess was oh this guys some kind of lab experiment, ailen or a robot and i was right lol. i mean considering his fathers job it isnt hard to predict but it is a kids show🤷
what i thought the most in the finale fight was okay, so he wants to be human, my boy yearns for the flesh, but like.. why? i know he has zagarts dead sons memories inside of him but if hes human enough to live and not notice he was a robot whats so bad about being a machine??? (robot propoganda lmfao) . he talks like a human feels like a human walks like a human feels like a human.. the gang™️ points this out too. i think there shouldve been more physical indicators to this guy straight up being a machine.. so many cool shit u can do with a ROBOT BLADER HELLOOOO ... ??? like do u have any problem in ur system or did u just not notice?? also how long has he been a robot? i feel like i needed more explanation on the dead son thing. yall couldnt take all those pointless boring episodes of those npc dudes trying to steal the sacred beasts and give it to zeo's backstory? what happened to this child? how long has he been a robot? when how which who which colour how many??2?2? was the original child also mint haired lmao? -also his hair colour is rll nice ^^
but yeah i think hes neat and probably the best character in his season.. i think his design is decent too, atleast the one w the white-ish outfit
oh and also this shit was raw as FUCK

For ocs asks. 8 and 10?
thanks for the ask! im pickin two cuz when's the next time im gonna get a chance to flaunt my lil guys... (aside from whenever i actually draw something...)
Tumblr media
jamrok's notoriously squeamish, makes the brutal lifestyle on alternia pretty rough. thankfully their high blood privilege allows them to live in comfort for the most part.
as for habits, they're always putting weird stuff in their mouth. not the type of person you'd want to lend your pens or earbuds to. they will get mindlessly chewed up (or just straight up lost tbh).
fish are very large and very hostile in ginger's canon. an especially bad encounter left her mildly traumatized.
ginger follows around a cranky mafia guy and witnesses some of the horrors first hand ...then decides she wants to be just like him for real. much to saffron's dismay.

- most of them dont have names yet i am honestly notoriously bad with names. but Soon
- haoran is a fourth year, assuming rsa does a similar thing to nrc then for his internship shit i guess hes probably at War. or maybe some bootcamp. hes like very tough love i think. someones got to make men out of these guys....
- he Was the housewarden but before he left, he and zheng had an honorable sword battle and he officially passed on the role
- i think zheng is childhood friends with a twisted!mulan who is a girl but shows up and crossdresses to get in and hes like the main one helping cover but then twst!mulan is like. Hm actually i think i Am a guy. but thats a character for a nonhorse day
- maximusguy is the vice housewarden probably a second year. hes like the evil version of sebek??? i know hes in good guy school but you understand
- i do have a pascalguy in the works they will have the beautiful rivalrybromance of your dreams
- philippeguy and samsonguy are like shaggy and scooby. yeah. both very Easily Spooked. so scared all the time
- pegasusguy i love pegasus so much but i actually wasnt planning on making him until an anon prompted it (thank you anon). he probably kins sonic and rainbow dash. amazing broom skills of course
- jafarshorse/nazir..... okay the doodle for him is old but i think hes in an epel situation, where he Wants to be in diasomnia since hes getting jafars trait of valuing magic but hes in scarabia anyway. really good at studying the Theory of magic but not so much application. one of the many "wow vice housewarden jamil is so cool and responsible" truthers
- ...i just call pinkhorse curlyfuck so anyway curlyfuck is just stuckup but also has terrible luck. pianos fall on his head type thing. he should be in looney tunes
- no drawing but SNOWBALL ahh snowball i love you snowball. thats frollos horse for the uninformed. hes in nbc of course, the only alt bitch in this place. intimidating build probably also in student council kind of looms behind rollo sometimes yk how it is. maybe he and malleus will hit it off and abandon rollo in the dust
- similarly we also have achilliesguy!! fetuses horse i mean phoebus. probably a senior whos gonna get stuck in military service later so hes kind of just. apathetic at the moment. also in catholic school get well soon. i think hes samsonguys older brother. i like how i say "i think" and "probably" like im not the one making these guys but who knows. they tell me things in Visions

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/0Fj6zSE by SLEEPYreader123 Peter Parker didn't mean to wake up in Gotham, with no one, no way back, and powers that barely function. He's hurt, he's hungry, and he's all alone. But most of all, he's desperate to survive on his own. The last thing he expects is to catch the eye of a notorious thief, or a boy his age with a sharp tongue as sharp as his knives, and lonely eyes. Damian Wayne doesn't need saving. Not from rogues. Not from bullies. And certainly not from jumpy street kids with shady pasts and no respect for privacy or personal space. He doesn't need help, he doesn't need family, and he doesn't need friends. He's a highly trained assassin. He's Batman's fearsome partner. He doesn't need anyone. At least, that's what he tells himself. --- In a city of strife and survival, Peter and Damian find in each other what they learned to never expect, let alone hope for: understanding, loyalty, and a place to belong. And for the first time, Gotham starts to feel like home. But secrets don’t stay secret in Gotham, and when masked identities collide, and a shadowy enemy looms closer, the bond they've formed threatens to shatter. Because the only thing more dangerous than a city full of crime, is letting someone in. Words: 2895, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Characters: Peter Parker, Damian Wayne, Selina Kyle, Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Jason Todd, Tim Drake (DCU), Alfred Pennyworth Relationships: Peter Parker & Damian Wayne, Selina Kyle & Peter Parker, Dick Grayson & Damian Wayne, Bruce Wayne & Damian Wayne, Selina Kyle & Bruce Wayne, (past), Batfamily Members (DCU) & Peter Parker, (eventually) Additional Tags: Crossover, Peter Parker Lives in Gotham City (DCU), Peter Parker Needs a Hug, BAMF Peter Parker, Found Family, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Character Study, Kind Of, not really I guess, Secret Identity, Damian Wayne Needs a Hug, Bruce Wayne Tries to Be a Good Parent, (he's doing a bad job tho), Protective Selina Kyle, Peter Parker is a Mess, Damian Wayne Has a Heart, Damian Wayne is Bad at Feelings, Past Character Death, its aunt may, okay I hope that's it, Im tired of tagging read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/0Fj6zSE
