i’ve been thinking about the pokémon memes where it’s like playing off of that one quote that’s like ‘truly strong trainers should try to win using their favorites’ and it’s like ‘ok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]’ and it’s got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokémon that also happen to be really strong competitively?
so if you will. pick a favorite pokémon (for any reason! whether it’s cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up
(you’ll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? don’t worry if you don’t know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)
also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different
edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokémon that either isn’t in SV (it’ll say ‘national dex’) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokémon
#pokémon#pokemon#pokeposting#if you want to know what those terms mean#AG stands for anything goes. very few pokémon have ever been in here#the absolute elite. too powerful too broken#Ubers is below that it’s like the normal ban zone where most overpowered pokémon go#OU stands for overused it’s like the ‘standard’ top tier#below that is UU (underused) then RU (rarely used) then ZU (zero used) then PU (this is a pun. pee-yew. because they stink)#LC is little cup which is basically Baby Fight™️ and NFE is not fully evolved so like babies and teenagers basically#and anything with BL (ban list) at the end is like a weird in between state#where they’re too powerful for the tier they were supposed to be in but not good enough for anyone in the tier above them to want to use em#if you’re thinking these are insane ridiculous terms then i agree#slight edit i think i initially got the order of ZU and PU mixed up. so many tiers with negative mean names…#i fixed it in the poll though#that is to say PU is above ZU#and if you’re curious how tiers work. the tier a pokémon is ‘in’ refers to the lowest it can possibly go#but you can use it in any of the higher tiers if you want to (it’s just more likely to get stomped on)#so like if a pokémon is OU that means you can’t use it in UU or RU or NU etc etc#but you can use it in Ubers if you want in addition to OU#most people i believe play in OU bc there’s arguably the greatest game balance#you’re allowed to use powerful pokémon but it isn’t as run wild go crazy no rules as Ubers#i mean even Ubers has rules but. fewer of em#AG has only one rule and that’s ‘you can’t force a standstill endless battle’ lol. otherwise it’s the wild west#OU is popular bc it’s a fine mix of rules that keep the game fair fun and competitive#and pokémon that are powerful and fun to use in battle#but if you have a different style you might like playing in a lower tier where everybody is super weak#*syndrome voice* but if everyone is weak then no one is…#it’s all about scale it’s all relative#edit: KNEW i was forgetting some nuance. some pokémon are stuck in the past aka not available in SV so they’ll say ‘national dex’ oops

AU Reds Poster: Alicent joins Rhaenrya as her advisor and wife after escaping her father's influence.
She escapes Kings Landing with Helaena and her grandchildren just in time. Unfortunately, her father has already sunk his teeth into her two sons who are ready to fight for their right to the iron throne. How will Alicent choose between her family and her beloved Rhaenyra when the time comes?
#alicent hightower#rhaenyra targaryen#alicent x rhaenyra#rhaenicent#rhaenyra x alicent#house of the dragon#hotd season 2#im sorry the posters just looked so good next to each other and alicent looks like she's gazing at rhaenyra with worry#basically alicent had an epiphany after viserys died (him screaming about the chosen one crap didn't happen)#but her father already had the ball and floor moving for the crown and to overthrow rhaenyra#and alicent had a dream or prophecy that told her that the greens would destroy the entire kingdom and her family including their lineage#she tried to convince aegon to leave with her too but he was already drunk on power and not listening to her anymore#so she goes to find rhaenyra to play peacemaker and diplomat and reluctantly joins team red#but then aemond kills luke and things go to shit#helaena is then betrothed to jace to protect both her and her grandchildren#and she basically serves as rhaenyra's conscious and calm to her storm through the war#in the end daemon gets exiled after killing aemond and betraying rhaenyra's orders#otto is killed for treason and aegon forfeits the crown for his life#jace and helaena rule after rhaenyra one day passes and wives live happy together#it makes sense because I say it makes sense

I still think about how Leo’s ideal day out for the fam’s venture into the Hidden City was basically just an effort to get some rest and relaxation because boy does he never get that ever.
#rottmnt#rottmnt leo#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#Leo is that one kid who’s like yeah dude I’m chill I’m laidback#and on the inside he’s just in a constant fetal position rocking back and forth#at least the others got a good amount of time spent in Tahiti but Leo’s out here like please god just one spa day 🙏🙏🙏#no but tbh? it’s genuinely a great look at Leo’s character that he wants to go to a spa to basically just sleep in the sun#it’s not bombastic or flashy or anything he legit just wants a good place to get proper rest and care#that hair spa can catch these hands LET MY BOY HAVE HIS SPA DAY 🔪#HONESTLY EACH PERSON’S CHOICE OF WHERE THEY WENT FOR THEIR DAY OUT SAYS A LOT#like raph wants to emulate who he perceives as those in justice in a desire to become more like the hero he so desperately wants to be#leo goes off on his own in order to let his guard down and actually rest for more than a lackadaisical facade#donnie goes with april not only to salvage his pride and condemn magic but also to hold onto his self worth and genuinely help out#and mikey thrives in family and specifically the harmony within family and how that is portrayed through the act of simply being together#in this essay I will-

Thinking about how despite how intimidating he looked as the prowler, Earth 42 Miles is still just as much of a 15 year old boy as our Miles is…
Miles was able to find the hoodie/puffer jacket combo quick and easily enough to put it on before his mom came in the room meaning the room was similar enough that Miles didn’t even notice a difference. Though that could be argued that it was too dark, the fact that there was even a drawing desk in there proves this earth’s Miles still has a love of art- showing that they’re way more alike than not, despite the major differences
If we get a look at how poverty forces children to grow up too fast and often turn to shadier means to get by in life in the next movie, I will actually tear my hair out
#when I saw tht desk I could have screamed#what elements of his childhood did he have to give up in order to follow in his uncles footsteps#based on uncle Aaron having to help rio out it goes to show they’re not doing too hot financial wise#LMAO @ me basically getting my animated young Jason Todd movie in a spiderman film#across the spider verse spoilers#atsv#miles morales#rio morales#spiderman#the prowler#precious speaks

Artists who admit to not knowing small details about their characters and worldbuilding have inadvertently given better advice than any character design post on social media tbh. as fun as it is to come up with what your guys would order from a restaurant or the contents of their backpack or their favorite color I've run into very few people who can leave that stuff in a story (or even leave it offscreen as paratext) without it being distracting and poorly written because it's rarely in service of the narrative. a lot of that is def just down to personal taste, but it feels more like designing characters for a TTRPG
#this goes for books comics screenplays whatever#basically anything except roleplay which demands that kind of fine detail bc maybe you ARE ordering from restaurants#as always you can run into the opposite problem too where your characters are empty vessels#but being online and having tried my own hand at a story as a teenager this feels like the more common roadblock#lighthouse is actually a great example of my ideal balance- the characters are deeply human; it feels like the finer details exist somewher#but they're not text- it's clear no one was thinking about their first memory or favorite dog breed#the focus is on structure and image#you can have it all!#books#films

(sorry in advance for the long ask) i feel silly for not noticing earlier but i realized that "Sano Mikoto" follows the same "__ no mikoto" name pattern that several japanese gods have. but that also made me wonder: if the 佐 from sano's name means "help" then his whole name sounds like "the god of help/assistance". but based on how that doesn't align with his yakubyougami nature and how ebisu reacts to hearing the name in ch 53 (his reaction is a bit more clear in the jpn raws) (1/2)
佐 doesn't really mean "help" on its own, it only somewhat means that when it's part of the word 補佐 "hosa" , which means "assistant" (in an organizational structure to a chief or leader) rather than like "helping people". Most of the time 佐 is just used as a kanji to represent the sound "sa", which is somewhat frequently the case for the on-readings (similar to chinese pronunciation) of kanji.
This is particularly prevalent when it comes to ancient literature like the creation myths and stories around gods, where the stories originally only existed in verbal form, and when japan adopted the chinese writing system some 1500 years ago, they applied certain chinese characters to the sounds that existed in japanese (the 50 or so hiragana that exist now) in order to put the stories into writing.
(and then over time 50 or so kanji got simplified into hiragana for normal use but thats neither here nor there. but names got to keep their kanji, which is why creation myth gods often have stupid long names that are 1 kanji per syllable, and the kanji used dont mean much of anything by themselves)
(theres also that often the kanji chosen will have been positive words, stuff like "fast" or "wise" or "powerful", in addition to the chinese word sounding like the japanese syllable (which was the more important part). Its unclear whether all these attributes were all applicable to the god named, its just as possible people afterwards applied those attributes to them in future retellings of the stories because the kanji was in the name. sort of a chicken and egg problem. and anyway, does it really matter what the one "true" interpretation of a story is, if one exists at all? it's a very modern sensibility to demand one, when for much of history stories only existed in the air between a storyteller and a listener. im getting off track here)
this is a lot of words to say, what is significant about the 佐 in "sano", is that it's the same one as in susanoo-no-mikoto. susanoo, notable for being associated with storms and disaster, for being exiled from heaven after causing some sort of destruction, and for being a child of izanagi and izanami and born after their first child hiruko (or rather, ebisu).
the thing about the yakubyougami thing, as with every other youkai and everything about folklore, is that at the end of the day, it's a story. youkai are just a set of attributes and circumstances that are wrapped up as a story, and in turn given a name and a face. a kamaitachi is just the occurrence of "wind whipping up suddenly and dust and leaves cutting someone" wrapped up as a story of "what if an imperceptibly fast weasel with knives did it?!"
it's why there can be so many different versions of stories for the same youkai, with behaviors and appearance differing from place to place, or the same "story" being given a different "name" in different places
(relevant to the latest chapter, i sort of suspect this is why theres like 10 different monkey youkai whose lore is just "this monkey is a FREAK")
what im getting at is, this isnt really like scientific taxonomy classifications, where theres genes you can sequence or criteria you can check to see if something is the right species. (and even then, there's birds stranded on isolated islands, fish sealed in caves, microorganisms in general, etc etc) there's not like a "youkai auditor" that goes around auditing if you're Really the youkai you say you are.
nor is it like you intrinsically know what youkai you are and all the lore about it and what behaviors youre supposed to have and what powers you have etc. you're told that by your parents, and in cases where that isnt possible, you figure it out somehow. like with beniko (popped out of a house and raised by humans), they looked it up and people have come up with a name for the phenomenon, which was called "zashiki warashi". or in cases like odawara where you really do just come to life alone, i imagine you either make a name for yourself, or humans who come across you will make a name for you.
which is a lot of words to say, sano can call himself whatever the hell he wants to make his life easier and not have to explain his backstory or have classmates make guesses at his backstory, as long as his traits somewhat fit. especially since recently he's often in the same scenes as kurahashi, who is now confirmed to straight up not be who or what he says he is.
#asks#this has been linguistics and sociology 101#rambles#i am always looking for excuses to ramble abt linguistics and the nature of stories and folklore#anyway this is also why im so persistent on the surname-given name name order#because 2 of the most important names in the series are abe haruaki/abe no seimei and sano mikoto#YOU CANT JUST GO ABE NO SEIMEI AND THEN TURN AROUND AND DO HARUAKI ABE???? ARE U OUT OF UR GOURD?????#AND ALSO THE MIKOTO BEING A SUFFIX AND COMING AT THE END OF THE NAME IS IMPORTANT!!!! ILL EAT DRYWALL!!#and this goes for basically every name bc every name has some sort of cultural reference#beniko is one im particularly fond of bc its a pun only when read in chinese#zashiki warashi is zuo ao tong zi and zashiki beniko is zuo ao hong zi

Okay but why haven't we had a time travel/fix it fic where after some shenanigans everyone decides to take down shinra, they split up to take out the important figures, sephiroth obviously takes hojo for any and all of a dozen good reasons.
And then hojo pulls a winter soldier sleeper code on him.
And then everyone is suddenly dealing with a brainwashed sephiroth.
-
Hojo has to have some way to control sephiroth as he grew into his monstrous strength and power, yes? And learned helplessness isn't enough of a reassurance your prized military leader powerhouse isn't going to wake up one day and realise just how easily he could paint the labs walls red with chunks of you. And because hojo is obsessed with total power and control, dealing with a murder machine with huge mental issues, it'd only be fitting he create his own emergency shutdown.
In the most needlessly traumatic and mentally violating way, of course. Would sephiroth even know, if he couldn't remember? Would he have long stretches of emptiness in his memories that never get explained to him, or would he wake up where he'd blacked out, just another day in the labs?
Imagine, his allies watching on the cameras, as sephiroth stalks into the labs, a predator sighting its prey, exchanging a few cold words with hojo, raising masamune... And then hojos mouth opening, sephiroth going stiff like an animatronic, rearranging himself on the floor where he stood, face hidden behind his hair. Hojo leaves the room and he doesn't move, doesn't respond to any comms or passing scientists accidentally rolling a cart over his coat and hair.
Hojo ordering sephiroth to reveal their plans, their allies, their resources. Sephiroth doing it. Hojo deciding to punish sephiroth for the rebellion with lab procedures, or hojo ordering him to hunt down his co conspirators and end the takeover. Sephiroth doing so, heavy in his steps, crashing through walls and doors, heedless now of morals or civilians, silent, unresponsive. So completely unlike the jenova malice they'd been prepared to fight, that sephiroth had been bracing against. No arrogance, no mocking, no dramatic battlefield or hungry glowing eyes.
The puppeteer becomes the puppet, and with it, every trace of holding back. The perfect soldier.
I imagine the first trigger word would be lucrecia.
#Hojo: *making his reunion theory* if you can't mind control naturally store bought is fine#Anyway there's no way hojo didn't have some backup plan for if his greatest experiment went rogue#Unfortunately sephiroth never went against his will even when he went jenova crazy. Because that WAS the plan all along#But fix its always have hojo unable to do anything against sephiroth and idk hojo is a Threat of the highest order#BECAUSE he's so staggeringly unethical but clever and has a tendency to shatter his victims minds#Like look at the falsified nibelheim library. The 'jenova' photo in EC. He knows precisely how to break sephiroths psyche open like an egg#And the winter soldier is a perfect example of what he could and would do#I imagine he made good use of it too. Whenever sephiroth acted out or if they couldn't restrain him for whatever reason#Or if hojo was too tired to do the injections himself#I doubt sephiroth would really know what was going on until it got caught on camera by people who'd show him the footage#sephiroth#final fantasy 7#ffvii#final fantasy vii#ff7#Also I just really like hojo/jenova parallels to go with the lucrecia/Vincent parallels#Hojo is basically the human version of jenova anyway. In terms of raising sephiroth.#ff7 remake#ff7 rebirth#ff7 crisis core#ever crisis#ff7 ever crisis#ff7 ec#sephiroth ff7#sephiroth crescent#ff7 au#fix it au#In this case: everyone thinks it's a fix it au until it abruptly goes horribly wrong

tcw is so good at introducing us to characters and bite-sized stories that capture our attention and so, SO bad at following even a modicum of logic when it comes to the consequences of actions under military law
#personal#or just anything with the military in general#their organizational structure is in SHAMBLES#also anakin ALONE should've been written up for like half the shit he's pulled#like what do you MEAN you didn't wipe the extremely sensitive data off your astromech droid because you didn't want to. checks notes.#''POTENTIALLY risk wiping r2's personality even though not doing so DEFINITELY risks the lives of at minimum thousands of personnel across#the entire GAR''???????#AND THEN LOSE THAT VERY SAME ASTROMECH DROID PUTTING ALL THOSE AFOREMENTIONED LIVES INTO REAL JEOPARDY#WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN THERE WERE NO TANGIBLE CONSEQUENCES#FOR NOT FOLLOWING BASIC OPSEC!!!!! YOU ARE A *GENERAL*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#AUGHHHHH#also!!! you CANNOT just IGNORE or outright DEFY the orders of your DIRECT SUPERIOR OFFICER#that is INSUBORDINATION!!!!! YOU CAN BE COURT MARTIALED FOR THAT ANAKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!#tcw just goes ''(sighing fondly) oh ANAKIN'' every time he pulls shit like this#like okay yes the jedi are not military first they're jedi first but they are OPERATING. AS MILITARY. IN A WAR!!!!!! RULES ARE THERE FOR#A REASON#AUGHGHFDJKGHFDJKG

I'm down for any option honestly, just whatever you guys think would be fun!
...Hypothetically
#UTDR#UTMV#Charlie Stuff#I made the poll a week cause a day doesn't seem like that long#And I don't have any of the others sketched out yet so it'll be a bit before I'm ready to post anything#But this will give me an idea of who to focus on next!#The options are basically do you wanna see the order be Dust then Horror then Cross#Let me decide who's gonna be in the middle cause I think I know which one will be worst#Or do another poll to let you guys vote on who goes second and then after that who goes third#The bonus polls could be fun but it means you guys don't know which I think is the worst and might end up voting for them#Up to you if you wanna play nightmare roulette :3c

「これ大柑子十五あるベし」
"There are 15 oranges inside"
#fgo#fate grand order#Ashiya Douman#another little thing while i work on the big piece#i really like rats as a symbol of his inability to surpass Seimei its a pretty famous story i think?#the one where Douman (correctly) divines that there are 15 oranges in a box but Seimei changes them into rats and wins the contest#ive been reading abe no seimei monogatari its great douman is soooo arrogant and petty and i love him#(a modern jp translation since its from 1662 its really nice it has og text on top and modern jp on the bottom and a ton of annotations)#which get me sidetracked into things like heian court rankings and the palace layout and the shishinden#anyway the whole reason the contest was held is cause douman hears about seimei#and is soooo upset at the possibility of someone possibly being better than him so he goes to the capital and shows up at seimei's house#to challenge him and prove himself better and its huge event the emperor and all the nobles are there#first part is flashy magic displays but douman (who is losing) basically goes uhh that didn't count divination is the proper way to decide!

btw i love that in Nandermo aus, where Nandor is a normal, good, human boyfriend - he's basically just Kayvan 🧡
#wwdits#nandermo#kayvan novak#nandor#i ordered one big goofy puppy dog man and i am not disappointed#but there's something amusing abt how nandor translated as an average human#is incapable of inhabiting nandor's other traits because they only work in the heightened comedy world of wwdits#otherwise it /really/ is horror#it rly gets you thinking abt how complex nandor is and the breadth of range you can experience him#he goes from love sick puppy to cruel prideful selfish prince to the aggressive bloodlust of a true monster#i love his fucked up lil brain#anyways#im being distracted from expressing my love for human au nandor who is basically kayvan as brandon fraizer from george of the jungle!#ie the perfect himbo#omg kayvan would have made a fucking amazing george of the jungle i cant unthink this

Holy shit dude, the ceo of rei angst wrote some rei angst what the HELL!! We have to kill her guys she cant keep getting away with this.
Anyways im gonna be writing about a lot of these nerds. I just love rei. This is really rushed and I am really sleepy so it is not my best writing.
Also i cannot write teruya so you will habe to ppppUT UP WITH IT.
Warnings for like. Violence and my attempt at writing a breakdown.
-
Rei held the rusty pipe like a baseball bat, swinging for a homerun as she smacked off the head of someone she once knew. Someone who had abandoned her long ago.
The rotting head of what used to be her mother rolled on the ground, sickly green skin squishing against the ground and stared up at her with lifeless eyes.
“I didn’t want to see you again like this,” Rei hissed as her chest heaved, “i wanted to see you staring with regret as you saw your daughter on top of the world. I didn’t want to kill you or see you dead.”
That had been the second time she had run into her zombified mother. The first, she had been a coward, unable to kill her and her father– the two people she hated most, the two people who had abandoned her and left her on the streets.
Where had all her rage gone that time. When had she become soft.
-
Midori clung to Ryutaro with all the strength in her frail body. “My brother,” she whispered, “i saw my brother’s corpse down there. Kakeru… he… they got Kakeru… they killed Kakeu…”
He didn’t say much in return, but he did pat her hand briefly– the only comforting action he could manage while carrying her.
“I see a store up ahead. Let’s stop by there for supplies.” Keisuke pointed out to the leader of the bunch.
Setsuka patted the clown on the back and gave him a smile. “Sounds good, lead the way. Maki, do you need me to carry Yamaguchi for a bit?”
Midori wrapped her arms and legs around Ryutaro a bit tighter at the suggestion, very much attached to the guy who had found her and saved her from zombies.
“I’ll be fine until we reach the stop.” The blonde nodded his acknowledgement to the bluenette, forcing a smile as he struggled to catch up.
The group walked in silence for a bit, the only sounds being the orchestra of distant zombie groans.
“Miss Yamaguchi,” Hikaru said after bit, his tone fatherly like usual, “may I check your pulse soon? And may I check if the swelling on your ankles has gone down?”
“Yeah, that… sounds good. Thank you, Uncle.”
-
Kanata removed the bandages from Ayame’s arm gradually.
“There isn’t any sign of infection, Hatano. Kinjo and Maki are still out, so… uhm… can I get you something to eat?” The surgeon spoke softly as she stared at the sprinter.
“I’m not hungry…” Ayame mumbled.
“Inori!” Tomori slammed the door open, her eyes sunken from lack of sleep, “i think i got bit. Check! Check, please!!”
Kanata bit back a sigh of exasperation and forced out her cheerful smile. “Of course. Where do you think you were bit this time?”
“My ankle. They went after my ankle so I couldn’t run! They’re going to eat me. I’m going to die, aren’t I? Oh, god, I’m going to die!” The cheerleader’s words were jumbled together and practically nonsensical. She grabbed onto Kanata’s shoulders as she spoke, her nails digging into the other’s lab coat and pressing her skin uncomfortably.
“Miss Tomori,” Kanata winced, “please let go of me. I will check your ankle, but I am sure you are fine.”
“I’m not fine!” Kizuna wailed before glaring accusatory daggers at Ayame. “If you… if you hadn't gotten yourself bitten! If you had just seen that bitch for what she is! We wouldnt be doomed! You’ve doomed us all!”
Ayame took the words without fighting back. What had been the point in fighting anymore? Kizuna was right. She had doomed them all.
“Miss Tomori, please… Taira had us all fooled… if Miss Hatano is to blame, then so are the rest of us…” the blonde murmured. “Please sit down so I can check your ankle…”
-
Mindless. Kinji was mindless. His faith had only been able to spare him for so long.
His teeth were decayed now. His skin was green and purple and yellow. His eyes were dull. His cheeks were sunken.
It was incredible that his mind stayed intact long enough for him to bury as many as he did. The only bodies he didn’t put 6 feet under, the only bodies he couldn’t handle burying, were those of the people he knew.
But what was the point?
-
Yuki held his stomach as he choked up and spat out the last meal he had, beans that had barelt even begun to digest.
“Urgh… gross…” he mumbled to himself.
Shinji was away at the moment, scouting out for the next safe place for them to go and likely trying to find his family in the process.
The lucky student fought back envious tears. At least they knew there was a chance that Shinji’s family was alive– they found his mother, Aiko, brutally murdered in the Maeda household. Her corpse was bloated and rotted when they found it.
The sight still haunted his dreams. He couldn’t even keep.meals down since he saw it.
-
Mikako peered into her brother’s lab. He hadn’t eaten in quite some time, nor had he slept.
“Yamato…” she whispered hesitantly.
He spun around with a dart ready in his hand. He only lowered it after he registered it was her.
“Mikako, I’ve told you to leave me alone. I need to find a cure, or no one will be safe.” The inventor turned back to his work and threw a crumpled up piece of paper to the side.
“I’m sure someone else is searching for a cure, Yamato. Why not try to make a vaccine? Some sort of immunity would help while someone else finds a cure.” The exorcist suggested.
Her brother didn’t seem to have heard. That, or he was ignoring her.
“Ah… nevermind.” She straightened her back and spun on her heel to hunt down their other classmates.
For the newcomers, Satsuki was putting on a performance– juggling empty bottles and broken gadgets whilst telling jokes. That could not be safe, but Haruhiko seemed to have his eyes on her.
The bunker door heaved open, and Teruya’s team came in, carrying boxes full of food and other supplies.
“We’re back with dinner!” The merchant shouted.
Mikako rushed over to take the box from him.
“Thank you, Otori, this should be good for at least a week. You and your scavenger team did good.”
He grinned at her and handed his box over. “Thanks! We uh…” he hesitated, “We saw Taira and Maeda… err… Utsuro? On our flight back… they looked like they were heading somewhere… dunno where…”
She bit her tongue and nodded thankfully at him. “Thank you for telling me.”
-
Thats it. Im hungry good bye.
Aw yeah infection Au moment! I do remember you saying a while back that you wanted to write something about Rei in this Au and MAN her part has gotta be my favorite out of these little snippets.
I really like taking a look at how a bunch of the cast is doing, seeing the way you wrote them in those situations was pretty fun! It reminded me how much i like the idea of Setsuka's like group with the 6.5 cast and how Kanata probably wishes she has a degree in psychology to properly deal with Ayame and Kizuna (she may feel as if she's not doing enough for them seing as her kindness can only bring her so far when dealing with their turmoil)
#i really like thinking about the voids + hibiki in this au too#i never explained this before because i wanted to draw something for it but oh well#basically at one point the voids (as in Nikei Hajime and Emma since Iroha has been zombified and ran away by now) steal some suplies from#Syobai's apocalypse mob. so he sends Kanade and Hibiki to “take care of them” for him#because Kanade has deal with Syobai where she's essentially works as his executor whenever he needs it#and in exchange he lets her take things rom his stocks when she pleases (she mainly takes weapons. the crazier the better)#and you know. Hibiki i in her puppet stage so she goes along#so the twins go after the voids in their mad max-esc apocalypse car and after a while Kanade manages to corner them#and Hibiki takes this opportunity to stab her in the back :) literally#because turns out Hibiki snapped out of her puppet stage at some point a while back. and seeing Kanades terrifying true nature#she wanted to put an end to her madness but for the time being she kept pretending to be under her control. because she wa looking for the#right opportunity to deal a killing blow without because Kanade is a better fighter than her#this opportunity turned out to be the voids! she explains the whole story to them and offers to do something for them to make up#for the hell Kanade and her put them through (chasing them around for several days and getting into fights)#so Hajime asks for her to hand over all of her supplies. Emma asks for the car. and Nikei asks her if she has any information about#a possible cure for the virus (because he feels somewhat guilty for what happened to Iroha) and Hibiki tells her she knows of a scientist#that's working on one and recives chemicals suplies from Syobai (because he wants this capitalize on this cure whenever it gets done)#So by Nikei's orders Hibiki tricks Mikado into giving her a stash of Kokoro's solution and goes with the voids in a search for Iroha#so that they can give her the prototype cure (which works just as a virus suppressant so far) before she reaches a stage where her mind is#too far gone. so overtime Hibiki essentially becomes a void member and she has friends again for the first time since forever#i like infection au Hibiki a lot. i had a sketch of her and Kanade somewhere i think#super danganronpa another 2#danganronpa another#dra#sdra2#zombie au#infection au#hyena ramblings

everyone lied to me about the bergman brothers these books are kind of bad
#listen!!! this is my fault because i SHOULD HAVE KNOWN after the dumpster fire that is magnolia parks#btw this is nowhere NEAR that bad#but my point is that people say BOTH are just like the addicted series and those people are STUPID#(sorry if you’re reading this and you’ve ever said that. ily)#like magnolia parks was basically unreadable for me i hated it. and i quite enjoy these bergman books so this is an unfair comparison#also i really love chloe liese’s representation and that goes a long way in saving these books tbh#with both series’ i KNEW i OBVIOUSLY wouldn’t enjoy them as much as the addicted series so i tried to manage my expectations#and yet in the back of my heart i secretly hoped i would finally get that same buzz again#it’s obvious to me that any series where each couple has one standalone book will never even come close#i knew what the vibes of this series would be and i was right. it’s still pretty good but the books aren’t Great#i think the 3rd one about the already married couple will be my favorite but maybe another one of these books will surprise me#of course i ordered them all ahead of time like an idiot 🙃 i never do that and i don’t even like the covers#the reviews for the series are so high i just thought there was no chance of it missing#going straight from my hands to the donation box unfortunately#mine#bergman brothers

Phaselock autism got me caring about a character who didnt even get any screentime so yk what i vibe w/ you *shows you my Siren queen Dido design hc I drew literally a few hours ago in class*
*If you dont understand the lil thing at the bottom its okay, it aint very clear. Basically it’s just ghost dido (left) being mad at Sophis (middle) for spitting absolute bullshit to kid Maya (right)
Along with my phaselock timeline hot takes right below the cut
- i do not believe it was Dido who led the people of Athenas to the peaceful planet. Im convinced it was done far longer ago by the first siren queen, Deidre (the fact that her name ressembles Dido’s is purely a coincidence). Deidre had a single daughter and gave her her powers along with the throne upon her death
- For a long time, the siren monarchy was kept standing with siren monarchs passing on their powers to their child
- The order of the impending storm was actually put in place by one of the queens. They were basically her “royal police” (she was just a meanass queen who put them in place to do the dirty work for her)
- Dido, the last siren queen, was unlike the others, for she never had a child. She was a righteous queen who valued the needs of the people above anything else. Unfortunately, the order didnt like that and she was eventually poisoned. Waiting for this opportunity for a while, the order then stepped up as the “righteous rulers of the planet”
- Then, in hope to find Dido’s successor with the siren powers, they searched all across the planet, but eventually, a simple man who lived on a farm with his wife came to them himself with an infant bearing the blue tatoos the order was looking for. That’s right, it was Maya.
Her father gave her to the order in the hope to keep her safe. Unfortunately, he didnt live to know if that was true or not, as he was killed after.
Then follows her backstory as we know it
That’s all folks!!
#basically what you meed to remember is several siren monarchs rule until Dido shows up and never has a kid#then the order once created by monarchy takes over and takes magic child#magic child 27 years later goes nuh huh and fucks off#Siren queen Dido ily (you never even showed up but thats okay autism is strong enough)#hc that lock users are mediums but they have to practice for this ability to work well#so Dido has to endure Sophis’s mouthfuls of lies without being able to help cause Maya doesnt know yet she can see the dead if she wants to#anyways 😗✌️#borderlands#maya the siren#<- she’s mentionned so ill tag her#borderlands headcanons#my post#mars arttack
