#inspired by the ccc event

[plantcrazy]

Hōkū 2961135

Since watching the ending of Murder Drones I've been really inspired to work on my ending for Lost Children of the CCC.

I think I'm about done with writing the major changes. I have a solid crisis, climax and end, of which the ideas have mostly been refined down into bullet points. I think the only sad thing is my original idea, with Double Shot and co. (Universe X) won't work now >>

The good news is, now I have another AU idea :P (I still REALLY want to explore their dystopian world & characters idea. Could make a fun Bad Ending Au sort of thing >:D )

Anyway, we're here to talk about Hōkū!

I've been developing & expanding on Macbeth's past as I think part 2 will be a great place to expand on past events in the Toppat clan for later. I've already shared some of those ideas, and (yes, it's relevant. I don't just want an excuse to talk about my favourite guy :P), you guys know me, I LOVE my foreshadowing, so I thought, well, what if Hōkū isn't just a one-off character in Macbeth's past? What if he comes back later, cause the guy's got a pretty versatile ability (, he didn't become the clan's best by luck), so I'd like to think the CCC would have a field day with him. Especially a certain Doc Thomas :\

So, I made these two illustrations to explore this idea. One in 2006 when Hōkū is first captured, and another in story present day (2018). On top of this, I've got a 7-page story scene written out, but that's a bit too spoilery to share yet ;)

1.Survivor: I like the stage and camera setup but the audio could be a tiny bit better I guess. Solid vocals though.

2.Escape: Loved the performance! So powerful! Hikaru was so exhausted and almost forgot to introduce her band members. 3.Flow: Not my favourite...

Still in love with this song!! Talk: Next up is "Treasure" which will be released later today at midnight JST. For a change, it is not written by HaKA 5.Treasure: Meh, a little too cutesy for my taste. Not particularly flattering. It's supposed to be a fluffy feel-good song but it's not doing much for me.

Since Stickmintober 2024 [codenamed as Operation Deathund] is going to begin in at least 2 days, I decided to create a personal debriefing lore regarding this event.

"I just got word from the O5 Council that they are planning to reintiate Operation Deathund once again, meaning that massive incursions will happen until the end of October itself, so here's a report on what's gonna happen to these factions and how are they planning to play a major role in this event.

Our Government allies of the 560th Marine Battalion are led by Gen. H. Galeforce is currently being trained by the newly integrated forces of the 77th Infantry Regiment and the 94th Armoured Corps of the MTF Nu-7 Divison along with contingents from other MTF squadrons just in case any anomalous scenarios arise after being inspired by the prowess of MTF Alpha-60 since their unification.

Meanwhile, our scouts report that even the Insurgency forces, most made up of both CIs and Toppats, are also prepping for the major event happening soon, with their new strike team codenamed "Nemesis" already deciding when they'll strike soon.

For our Coalition allies, which is both made up of the GOC and the CCC, I have just received word from some contacts, mostly some old friends that Sgt. Miller used to have, are already planning to supply experimental weaponry and equipment to some of us, with the CCC recording any signs of "chaos incidents" so that they could rely on our support if the time arises.

As for the Wall, they weren't planning to get involved in this mess, but they will compensate us if we plan to detain certain HVT for them.

Other factions like the Serpent's Hand, the FBI-UIU, along with multiple other GoIs will rarely get involved in this scenario, but their skills will be needed soon in some certain missions.

Ok, that is all for this report for now. I'd hope everybody will be prepared for the inevitable soon. Commander out."

- Mission debriefing from the MTF Commander himself

While that's the report on my AU lore regarding Stickmintober, here's my personal recap from 2023 last year.

Day 18:

The other artworks won't be shown since Tumblr limits their photos to 10, but here's the prompt I'd joined last year. The names of the people who planned last year's event are mentioned in the description.

I'd hope the artwork I will make this year would soon be recognised, but if it can't, then that's fine anyway. I'm only draw stuff when major events are happening in the community.

"From Injury to Inspiration: Achieving Happiness After a Brain Injury with Support and Determination" A brain injury can be a life-changing event for both the person affected and their family. The road to recovery may seem long and difficult, but it is possible to achieve happiness and a fulfilling life after a brain injury. For the person affected by the injury, it may take time to adjust to the changes in their life. They may experience physical and cognitive challenges, such as difficulty with mobility, speech, memory, and concentration. However, with the right support and rehabilitation, they can learn to adapt and find joy in their new abilities and achievements. One of the keys to happiness after a brain injury is setting achievable goals. These goals may be small at first, such as regaining some independence in daily activities or relearning a hobby. As the person progresses in their recovery, they can set bigger goals, such as returning to work or pursuing a new career. Family support is also crucial in achieving happiness after a brain injury. Family members can provide emotional support, help with daily activities, and encourage the person to continue with their rehabilitation. They can also participate in family activities that the person enjoys, such as attending a concert or going for a walk in nature. Another important factor in achieving happiness after a brain injury is finding a sense of purpose. This may involve volunteering in the community, pursuing a new interest or hobby, or helping others who are going through similar experiences. Ultimately, happiness after a brain injury is achievable with the right mindset, support, and determination. While it may take time and effort, the person and their family can learn to appreciate life in new and meaningful ways.

kind of rambly so under a read more but bear with me. the reason this is important

The circumstance: i HAD the idea to do this on my own but theres No fucking way i wouldve DONE IT on my own at this point in time! and theres no fucking way i wouldve just randomly DM'D someone to do it WITH me a this point in time!

so This happening was extremely fucking lucky cause if it had NOT (ie: dave had not threatened goldy or i had decided not to ask about it in dms just then) THEN:

goldy probably wouldnt be NEARLY as compelling of a character me as they are right now Which is important in itself

^ after ccc got deleted i missed playing them so much that i started Porting them to other places/groups just so i could keep going (like creature crossing and eventually twitter). obviously that wouldnt have happened

I had to learn how to semi-competently draw humans because the necessity of them having one for cc slammed into me like a semi-truck

Very Responsible for the fact im nonbinary now. i dont remember Exactly when this was happening but. at mostthey started that thought process entirely and at least they pushed me over the edge to go "Ok yeah not a demigirl just nonbinary". leaning towards the first option but again I Dont Rember

points at trists first design. Fucking Look At Her

I FEEL LIKE YOU COULD TELL SOME LEVEL OF INSPIRATION HERE. I WAS HOVERING OVER REDESIGNING THIS BITCH FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I WASNT HAPPY WITH HER CURRENT DESIGN BUT DIDNT HAVE ANY DESIGNS I WAS MORE HAPPY WITH THAN GOLDY UNTIL THIS BITCH CAME ALONG

anyway back on goldy: made a twitter parody of them which introduced me to rp twitter, which eventually led to a REAL rp account,

which Btw we wouldnt even be having this conversation if that didnt happen because i wouldnt have met marcy. or jaqlyn. hi marcy hi jaqlyn :]

This whole series of events absolutely played into my want to fuck with my own characters more often

every bad thing that has happened to both radiobox and trist (the character) that wasnt a result of another person was Indirectly goldys fault for being such a fucking Example of what trying to kill a guy could do for their ongoing plot

and i mean im not going to go into those 2 indepth but i feel as if ive caught 2 really fucking good characters from it and im so happy they make me so happy

I think this genuinely improved my storytelling ability a lot

So like

Thanks goldy sorry i hit you over the fucking head but in return you irreversibly altered the course of my life. Ily. Do you guys see why this stupid goddamn fish means so much to me

Where the hell would i even be if none of this happened if that dm never happened if i just got SLIGHTLY UNLUCKY wha tthe FUCK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway thats it. good night and good goldy

i had a conversation with marcy i think yesterday or the day before that and of all the rp context and shit i lost when the ccc server got deleted i cannot believe i still have the most important fucking dm ever from it

Getting sleepy, but with sleepy comes some thoughts that made me soft. More so because my main bed blanket is green.

No one is really sure of when Vy started tugging on Robin Hood's cloak. It's a small thing, but it's noticeable amongst the Chaldean staff and the other Servants after a while. It's especially hard to miss when Vy is in one of her tired days and barely trailing after the Archer as he leads her back to her room for her daily naps, because it's only with her tugging on a corner of the green mantle that she keeps upright at all.

The No Face May King, of course, is no ordinary cloak. It is a Noble Phantasm, and a mark of what makes Chaldea's Robin Hood, well, Robin Hood. It lets him fade into the darkness, blend into the trees of the Sherwood Forest he called home, and fight from the shadows to protect the people.

No one said it couldn't be used as a comfort item.

Vy doesn't tug that hard on it. If anything, the amount of "tug" helps convey to Robin, without words, how she is feeling.

A light, short tug - Vy wants to talk to him.

A quiet, lengthy tug that doesn't crumple the fabric - Vy's tired.

A gentle tug accompanied by a soft "Muu" noise - Vy's troubled and wants to stay with him.

Those translations are still works in progress, but Robin's open to suggestions.

Sometimes, the tugs are accompanied by Vy's head gently lulling against his shoulder, her eyes sliding shut as she rests against his side, glasses falling crooked on the bridge of her nose. She often brings her knees up to her chest as she does this, curling up into herself to nearly resemble a ball if not for the hand still peeking out past her middle to keep a grip on his mantle. Still, she stays with him, staying especially quiet after a tough battle in a Singularity or so. No one outside of them can really hear Vy at this point, because Vy opts for mental conversations more than her actual voice, but Robin's gotten used to it.

Only the other Grailed Servants will be able to hear Robin admit he likes talking to Vy with their mental voices. He was never able to do that when he was alive.

Oh, and of course. After everything they've seen together, Robin can't blame Vy for wanting some peace and quiet.

He still remembers how small and haunted Vy looked after coming back from Agartha. How her face turned pale from hearing Arnold Beckman's lengthy tirades during that trip into the Seraphix oil rig, as if seeing someone who wasn't there before every time the man berate her for not following his orders. Hell, he can still close his eyes and glimpse the tears in hers from when she murmured, "I still hear them sometimes, when no one's around," in that empty church in SE.RA.PH, her mental voice weak from remembering whatever she had seen from the dying Seraphix staff before he got to meet her again. He won't ever forget the sheer rage and bitterness Vy held against Kiara, screaming "THIS IS FOR SHIROU!", and how much Vy seemed to almost hide herself away in the No Face May King once they came back to Chaldea.

Robin always wraps an arm around Vy's shoulders to bring her closer to him if she still stays after a while. The No Face May King eventually helps her mind settle enough for her to fall asleep.

Da Vinci gets a new visitor to her workshop later, and coincidentally, Vy eventually finds a familiar green cloak folded up on her desk. The only thing with it is a note saying (in oddly curved scrawl too): "In case if I'm gone."

Vy treasures it to the point of washing it every week with the laundry, and some Servants whisper of peculiar sightings - specifically, of their only Master occasionally hugging the Noble Phantasm replica to her chest like it's a long lost teddy bear. No one but Robin knows the truth.

Even then, Vy still finds him by tugging at the No Face May King. Robin lets her.

hii i saw you’re opening requests for tis the season for love! may i request leon with prompt two? thank you so much :3

A/N: Here you are @leonscape !

A fic for the Tis the Season for Love CCC hosted by @voltage-vixen and @xxsycamore

Leon x Reader

Word Count: 651

The salon is bathed in the warm, flickering orange and golds of firelight, highlighting the dark wood and deep reds of the velvet furniture. You are curled up on the end of the couch, one hand holding a small volume of recently translated Tanzanite poetry. The other is running a continuous path through the lustrous jungle of Leon’s rich, chocolate brown hair. He’s laying, long limbs stretched out on the sofa, golden eyes on the fire, listening to you read out loud. He’s not really paying much attention to the words. He just enjoys the sound of your voice, the rise and fall of it, your inflection and intonation, as you earnestly read poems describing feelings of love and loss and loneliness. You’ve reached the final poem and read the last line:

“The indifferent have only one soul, but when you love, you have two.” 

If sighs could have colors, yours would be the softest, most romantic shades of pink and lavender. What a beautiful collection, you think dreamily as you lay the now finished volume down on the end table, lost for a moment in that ephemeral place that a writer leads you to with their words, a place that dissipates like stardust as reality slowly seeps back in.

“The emotions the author manages to convey, the allusions and imagery, the way they describe the depths of grief and the heights of love….” you trail off, your mind still filled with words and phrases and images as you reach for the cup of hot chocolate next to the closed book. “What did you think?”, you ask, glancing down at the head in your lap. No response. The fingers that are still combing his hair stop and then playfully tweak one of the locks that’s sticking straight up. 

“Oi!” he exclaims as he rolls onto his back, head still pillowed on your thigh, his gaze traveling from the firelight to your face. 

“Were you listening at all?” 

His lips curl into a sheepish grin. “Something about love….and two souls?”

The roll of your eyes has him laughing softly, a sound as warm and fulfilling as the cup of hot chocolate you lift to your lips. Yves never disappoints you think as you take a sip of the velvety sweet drink. 

Suddenly the head that was on your lap lifts as Leon pushes himself up, eyes shining now with interest.

“You still have some left?” His own empty mug sits in solitude next to the volume of poetry, empathizing with all the heartbreak within its pages

“Had.” You tip your cup to show him you’ve drained it to the very last drop. 

He tilts his head, at first dismayed by this turn off events, but instead of succumbing to the sadness of there being no more, he is struck by some divine inspiration. 

“I know a way I can still have some.” And then he is leaning towards you, his large hands cupping your face. And his mouth is on yours, parting your lips, a deep, soul-scorching kiss that would normally be kiss number five or six in line and not number one. But he wants a taste of that hot chocolate and will do whatever it takes to get it.

He kisses you breathless. He chases every single bit of chocolatey essence that clings to your lips, your tongue. By the time he is done, you’re left dizzy, your heart spinning wildly in your chest and your mind as melted as the chocolate in your drink.

“We must tell Yves,” he murmurs, “how much we enjoyed the hot chocolate.” You’re both sliding down the couch, his body covering yours in a way that sends a promising heat cartwheeling through you.

“Oh we will,” you answer, wrapping your arms around his neck, admiring the gold of his eyes, the flame in them miniatures of the roaring fireplace. “In the morning.”

[phantoids]

Hey so feeling a lil bored and I think I'm gonna do some dsmp writing requests!!

Send in an ask, give me a lil prompt of an au or smth (this can include asking for snippets of my own aus, which I will list).

Anyways the aus of mine you can ask about:

ccc!au, basically character content creator, modern dsmp au where the events are all the same except it's 1. a modern au and 2. they're all content creators at some point and have access to social media. they all drop merch at dream's funeral. This is a crack au.

smash or pass au, where quackity is the onceler, dream has the hots for him still, quackity/dream/wilbur was once a thing but now they're bitter exes and wilbur takes joy in terrorising dream. Also quackbur happens at one point as well as the onceler reveal. It's also a crack au.

clue #1, a murder mystery powers au where wilbur is dead, techno is a retired detective, ranboo is an annoying ghost and clingyduo are investigating wilbur's death. you can have a couple snippets from chapter 1 since this is an unreleased multichap fic au.

silence and the sun, a canon-divergent au inspired by the dead don't dream. dream and tommy are brothers, tommy has a bad time being revived over and over (he's also selectively mute), and shit gets out of hand. My personal contender for the dream worsening olympics.

pig house au, basically an owl house au where techno is a wild witch known across the isles, ranboo is the human who's stumbled into his life, discduo is just belos and hunter, aimsey and tubbo are ranboos besties at magic school, wilbur is techno's estranged brother from the emperor's coven and phil shows up at techno's door one day with an injured kid who may or may not be grimmwalker.

communal dad au, in which phil adopted three kids who are also actors, none of them know about the others and therefore when he comes on the set they all work at to audition for the dad of their three characters, some funny stuff happens. like Neapolitan bros realising they're all actually brothers, and everyone on set joking about how phil is secretly their dad.

universal tommy au, in which tommy is a multiversal traveller, goes by theseus and wears a boar mask, and ends up stuck in a universe with regular multiversal and timeline traffic, including an ex-traveller wilbur who set up lmanberg, sometime after doomsday should have happened, to accommodate travellers. I don't have much for this but I like the concept.

and the final au: iceborne au, based on monster hunter, in which tommy is the new rising hunter in the fifth fleet of the research commission, dream is a bitch who wants to wipe out the ecosystems by using other monsters because he's a bitch but it's okay he has a giant ice dragon pet, and they're all having a time trying to fix the ecosystem.

A/N: Canon divergent from here on out b/c otherwise these events will be sans Iris due to her disappearing. Hope you enjoy anyway!

...

Chapter 4 - Barry's Haircut

Barry woke up on Friday of that week and looked over at the empty side of his bed. He groaned. Iris had left for Coast City on Tuesday for a story, which had ended up being good, since criminal metas had increased out of nowhere, but he missed her like hell and was eager for her to come back.

He had spent every evening with her for dinner the past few nights, but he felt it was best if he stayed in the city overnight, should metas attack during the nighttime hours, which had happened a few times already, including the previous night. He didn’t know what was in the water, but it sucked.

He wanted to be with his wife. He wanted to hold her during the night, go to bed seeing her next to him and wake up with her either in his line of vision or hearing her move around in the bathroom or downstairs. He didn’t like this business of her being across the country during the hours when they’d normally see each other.

But, she had said she’d be back today before dinner, so he was definitely looking forward to that. On his lunch break, he was getting his hair cut before their date night in a couple days, so he was looking forward to that too. Jeff always did such a good job on his hair. He’d had the guy for years, and he was a pro. The results always had Iris touching his hair, and that gave him tingles all over.

He wished she could be home right after he got it done, but he supposed before dinner would work too.

Grudgingly, he got ready for work, and was deliberately late because of his sour mood. Kramer knowing he was the Flash paid off because she probably thought he was away on Flash business.

By the time lunch came around, he was more frustrated than ever. And when he asked for Jeff after walking into the barber shop, a permanent frown fixed on his face when they said he’d called in sick for the day.

“But Judy is here!” the other hairstylist said, smiling brilliantly. “She’s new, but she does an excellent job!”

Barry tried his best to hold back a scowl and failed miserably.

“Or I could reschedule you for sometime next week?” she offered.

Barry sighed and hung his head.

“No, I’m sure she’s fine,” he muttered. “Date night with the wife is in a couple days. I can’t wait till next week.”

“Date night with the wife, huh?” A pretty girl walked up to the counter. “Let’s get you looking sharp then, Barry, is it?” Her eyes sparkled, and she was clearly checking him out, despite the comment about his wife.

Barry pursed his lips and nodded. He hung up his coat on one of the hooks, patted his pocket for his wallet, and followed her to one of the chairs.

“So, what are you thinking, handsome?” she asked, drawing her fingers down his neck as she put the large black smock around him.

“Just a trim,” he said, forcing a smile. “Maybe shorter on the sides.”

“Will do.” She leaned down to whisper into his ear. “I am very good at what I do.”

He cleared his throat.

“I’m sure my wife will appreciate it then.”

She stood back up and grabbed her spray bottle of water to start dampening his hair and combing through it.

“Well, it’s your hair, honey. You should love it too.”

“If it’s what Jeff usually does, I will.”

That seemed to shut her up – momentarily.

“So, what’s the wife’s name?” she asked, halfway through his cut.

“Iris,” he said. “Iris West-Allen.”

“Wait. The Iris West-Allen? As in CEO of CCC Media?” she blanched.

Barry’s lips parted.

“One and the same.”

“Oh, my gosh, I love her writing. I read her stories all the time. She’s such an inspiration.”

He grinned from ear to ear, his sour mood dissipating.

“I’ll be sure to tell her you said so. She’s coming home today.”

“Where did she go to?” she asked, this time no attempt at flirting in her voice. “Somewhere exciting for a story, I hope.”

“Coast City, and yes, exactly for that.” He paused. “I miss her.”

“I bet you do, honey. Who wouldn’t? She’s an icon.”

His smile was misty, and her hand stilled. He looked in the mirror, and she grabbed a handheld mirror before spinning him around and handing it to him.

“What do you think?”

He gave himself a good look, and his smile spread further.

“I think you’re worthy of a tip, Judy.”

A sparkling smile appeared on her face.

“I was hoping you’d say that.”

…

Barry got several compliments on his hair after walking into CCPD following his haircut, which heightened his mood further. Nothing could have prepared him though for Iris West-Allen sitting, one knee crossed over the other, on the corner of his desk when he walked into his lab.

“Iris!” He grinned, dropping his Big Belly Burger take-out bag he’d grabbed on the way back immediately and racing into her arms.

“Hey, Baby!” She laughed, wrapping her arms around him and immediately inhaling the scent of his hair and winding her fingers through his hair, messing up the style. He didn’t care. “Someone got a haircut. Did Jeff do a good job, or what?” she teased.

He pulled back to stare into her eyes and then kiss her.

“Not Jeff, some new chick. Julie, I think her name was. Or Judy. I can’t remember.” He kissed her again.

“A female, huh?” she asked, skeptical.

“Don’t be jealous,” he said.

“I’m no-”

“She’s a fan of yours, you know.”

“Oh, yeah?” Her mood immediately switched.

“Mhmm.” He nodded. “Couldn’t stop gushing about how great your work is and how she reads everything you write. I tipped her because of it.”

“Not because of how she did your hair?” She blanched.

He shrugged.

“It’s nice, but Jeff does it better.”

She chuckled and pulled him in for another kiss. He decided not to mention all the flirting Judy had been aiming at him before he mentioned Iris’ full name. Better for the marriage, especially since Judy had changed her tune by the end of her services.

“How was your trip?” he asked when they parted. “I’ve missed you.”

She raised her eyebrows, amused.

“You’ve seen me every day this week for dinner.”

He tugged her closer to him somehow.

“But not in bed I haven’t. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you in our bed,” he murmured into her ear. “Too long.”

Iris bit her bottom lip as her eyes rolled back, clearly aroused, especially when he tugged on her earlobe with his teeth.

“My trip was good,” she said breathily.

The sound of footsteps echoed down the hall, and they reluctantly pulled apart. Kramer’s voice could be heard before she appeared in the doorway.

“I’ll tell you about it later,” she said, sending him a wink on her way out, and nearly running into his boss as she did.

“Oh, Iris, you’re back! Good to see you. I’m sure…” Kramer shot a glance at Barry. “Am I interrupting…something?”

“Nothing at all,” Iris assured, then looked at Barry. “I’ll see you after work.”

“Miss you already,” he said back, and Iris waved and smiled before leaving.

“I definitely interrupted something,” Kramer said on a chuckle before approaching Barry about some new case files she needed him to look over.

Barry tried his best to focus on what she was saying, but the memory of Iris all over him after days without such affection was still very present in his mind.

He couldn’t wait to get home, and he knew Iris couldn’t wait till he did either.

Maybe distance did make the heart grow fonder.

I do actually have my own Rewired Henry AU that I made a while back, but I don’t really have the motivation or energy to write or make an ask blog for it. Best I’ve got it some doodles scattered around in my many sketchbooks and a Google Doc that messily outlines the basic plot.

That is pretty neat to hear! And completely understandable on the motivation part, no one wants to work on something when they aren't feeling it.

And maybe it will be one of those things you come back to later and have inspiration strike like the CCC to a minor chaotic event, or finding yourself using those ideas for something completely different in the future.

@psychcdelica​ How about AitSF for Melloi, and Fate series for Aiba?

sᴇɴᴅ ᴍᴇ ᴀ ғᴀɴᴅᴏᴍ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ’ʟʟ ɢɪᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ғɪᴠᴇ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴs ᴏғ ᴍʏ ᴍᴜsᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀsᴇ

In a crossover verse AitSF and Fate, it would be very easy to have El-Melloi doing one of two things. Or maybe both: as an specialist in modern magecraft and head of said department at the Clock Tower (think of mage university) he could assist in improving the Somnium based on hypnosis and sleep-related spells. Using both Fate and some stuff that I read in the first Megami Tensei novel (yes, the novel that inspired our other big love), computers are basically electromagnet impulses, like how our brain work, and not too dissimilar how magic work. Moreover, the enchantments repetition to have a spell working isn’t too dissimilar to programing on a computer. Basically he would be pretty useful for Pewter. Another thing that he could work on, of course, is the investigation process. Most of his books are about him being dragged to solve murders, even if it are mostly circumstantial he ends up being famous for it.

In a purely AitSF, no magic involved, El-Melloi’s involvement would be similar to the first item but mostly a regular university professor/researcher that somehow ends up becoming an impromptu detective due to circumstances and his connections, starting off as a freelancer and then occasional consultant or collaborator with the ABISS.

Because both of them have connections with politics, either in a more direct or indirect way, El-Melloi could cross paths with Boss at any moment. Even work on the same case due to the people involved being mages but holding lots of influence, so it would be easily arranged.

For Aiba… There are two possibilities: In Fate/Grand Order there are super computers with very advanced AIs that are seldom touched upon… Ironically, one of the times that we saw more about an specific AI was in the El-Melloi event! In any case, an AI focused on studying the dreams of the Master and the connections with their Servants (Heroic Spirits) could be an interesting take. With the accumulated dreams, developing a full-blown personality and doing...Something.

There is also a Fate spin-off that happens in a large-scale simulation in a post-apocalyptic world. (New World Program vibes, anyone?). In the first game, Fate/Extra, the simulation is running without problems but we see many NPCs that are advanced AIs. However, in the sequel Fate/Extra CCC there are a bunch of AIs that gained sentience and are based of human emotions and also merged with goddesses (long story that barely makes sense even for the fans of the series sometimes tbh). Originally created to modulate the people sleeping inside the simulation, to have Aiba to becoming an AI containing the personification of people’s dreams, sleeps and nightmares and to be a combined existence with the likes of Hypnos, Morpheus, Nidra (Hindu), Mamu (Mesopotamian) and maybe something like a Baku (Japanese dream-eater) while also having domain over the  Zaqīqu (the Babylonian realm of the sleep) would be pretty interesting. Btw I didn’t do any research, I’m just smashing the keyboard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wips of my comic panel featuring a segment where Amiya meets Isolde (since her servant is Tristan) and I read in the Type Moon Wiki that servants and master can see each other’s dream (example is Kairi seeing Mordred’s past in Fate Apocrypha) 

I just realize the last panel that I know Isolde is so smug because she’s almost done being colored while Amiya is still flat-colored.

Also this is how I interpret Isolde, according to Mordred, Isolde of Ireland is blonde (Tristan’s interlude). And I take inspirations from Meltryllis (hair + eyes and also his comment regarding her in the CCC event) and oh my god, the smug aura at the last panel

it’s like Melt is wearing a blonde wig or maybe because Amiya is hallucinating in that dream she is seeing a blonde Meltryllis.

I was listening to Je peux mourir mais être à toi and Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher, makes me feel inspired and I usually do this late night up to 3 am which explains my piss poor sleeping schedule huhuhue

Also reference I used is the WMMAP chapter where Athanasia in Lovely Princess met Jennett first time. I’ll finish Isolde followed by Amiya this week or next week depending on my schedule + medibang being a total ass towards me 

anyways, that’s all.

Ugh, I already did that mistake it was just boobs and boobs, sometimes ass and then more boobs.... I honestly don't mind boobs but people are really obsessed with proto Merlin's booboos. And I legit don't get why, because if regular Merlin it's pretty much covered in clothes 24/7 (even in that summer event costume) there's no reason why proto would be different

Still I also found pretty pics so it was worth to make that mistake.

Ahhhh YES, that's why I love the idea of a lostbelt where Merlin falls and Gilgamesh is there too see everything because if someone can understand perfectly what the hell happened it's him. After all in another timeline, a stupider version of himself tried to do the same, I guess that by that moment he already confronted that situation head on and thus can use the experience.

Also that thing about Merlin disappearing if all life disappears it's... fitting... if they lost any hope for a happy ending it's natural that they will look for what they think it's best for humans, and at the same time look for their own end, since they can't die by natural means...

Yep, exactly. I had in mind that rat experiment John Calhoun did, where he gave rats basically an utopia and they self-destroyed. Since one of the main topic of the lostbelt is the flaws in those worlds I thought it would be interesting to see a world so perfect that lacks meaning and collapses because of that, and I really think Merlin can fit perfectly there for the whole Holy City thing.

Gilgamesh and Hakuno being constantly on the edge by this ppl who are do damn conformist and don't have to fight by anything and just choose to to root and die... It's gonna be like what happened with Jinako but WORSE, I can even hear Gilgamesh non ceasing complaining from here.

Eyup. Finding stuff to base her appearance on and be inspiration has been a pain. Like, I wouldn’t care so much it normally, but, as you said, Merlin in Fate is always covered completely, including summer, and giving how Artoria and Arthur look, ProtoMerlin shouldn’t be any different. I think people have issues with the concept of a succubus not being interested in being obvertly sexy. 

Though I maintain that Merlin’s looking cute and fluffy is more effective at getting people to come closer to them.

I think Gil came the closest to ‘falling’ during the quest for immortality. By choosing to remain mortal, and actually learning the value of human life BECAUSE it was mortal, he avoided that fate, but he knows that it wouldn’t be hard for him to have made a stupider choice, but yeah, he understands all too well what Merlin is thinking. 

Ah, that’s also part of that happy ending. Canonically Fate has three ways humanity can end. 1) Types kill us 2) We commit mass suicide 3) We leave the planet. Even in the last one, where we leave, continue to grow and flourish and start the Age of Will, Merlin still vanishes. But yeah, it is...weirdly appropriate.

I mean I can see that. And I think that’s why Gil flat said in CCC that there were other ways to protect people than just to defend them from harm, and that even the north wind was necessary. Gil pushes people to improve themselves, and tends to set himself up as the final obstacle that they need to overcome. Merlin tends to treat humans like flowers, but that’s more lining up things in a way that benefits humans, but they have to do the heavy lifting themselves. Both probably ARE trying to avoid the ‘mouse utopia’.

ooh they would. It’s basically a dead world that hasn’t realized it yet.

Concepts for: Alter Ego Robin Hood !

The Robin Robotization Plan is finally underway! Some devilish plot by BB to try and make her Servant/Errand Boy more efficient; the idea of manufacturing multiple Robin Hoods that could contain different class attributes wasn’t able to be completed in time for the CCC Event, but that doesn’t mean it was discontinued or anything. Though still somewhat in a prototype stage, the very first Robo Robins are ready to be deployed~ BB doesn’t mind if you want to test them out on the battlefield yourself. Just make sure you report back any bugs to her, okay? 

In terms of looks, it’s pretty much Robin, but what about personality? Well, with each advancement the personality becomes a bit more evident and accurate, but he’s still aware he’s not “really” Robin Hood. It’s a bit tedious to think about, so he tries not to, but being the knock-off of a Heroic Spirit who himself isn’t even “really” Robin Hood feels kind of depressing. More reserved than his Archer counterpart, he prefers to have a task to accomplish and doesn’t do well with too much downtime. Even so, he’d much rather work for you than BB. 

Comes in multiple color schemes, including but not limited to the Robin palette and the BB Brand palette. 

1000% inspired by BB’s throwaway line about the “Robin Robotization Plan” in the CCC Event.
