i tried to play into tumblr's automatic video looping but you can also watch it on youtube with subtitles for the dialogue, it's not that important, it's more about the idea of the loop than the experience

[roses-and-revolutions]

I have another idea for a story, but I once again don't know what to write, so I'm building a skeleton.

It's a DC x DP x ML crossover. Damien, Marinette, and Danny are triplets born into the LoA. From birth, they were taught to not see each other as siblings but as rivals for Ra's attention. When they were five, they were dipped (more like dropped) into the pits for the first time. Danny never comes back out. The second time was when they were six. Damien and Marinette came back from a mission gravely injured. Marinette doesn't come back out. Damien becomes the sole heir.

As one can imagine, Danny and Marinette aren't dead but simply taken to where they were needed at the time. That being said, things for these two characters go mostly according to their respective shows after they integrate into society. With the exception that the two of them are more competent and don't fight like rabid raccoons. But things take a dark turn when they turn sixteen.

Marinette

. After finding out that his father is Hawkmoth, Adrien is unable to carry the weight of being the holder of the cat Miraculous, as he doesn't want to fight his father and gives it to Ladybug. He promptly moves to the States to further his modeling career. Marinette, unable to find someone else worthy to be the holder of the cat Miraculous, stores it away and becomes the sole hero of Paris (with occasional helpers). But because of this, her two lives get more intertwined, and she is forced into a corner where she has to choose between being Ladybuy or Marinette.

. But she doesn't get a chance as Hawkmoth is dethroned and replaced by an even greater threat. She is forced to take on the persona of LadyNoir. Her life crumbles as she tries her hardest to balance her life as a hero and a person. She tries to save everyone but someone always ends up getting hurt. Whether it be her as Marinette, clinging to what little of her life is left. Or her as LadyNoir, with no choice but to watch innocent civilians die because she couldn't think of a better plan that could've saved everyone.

. It gets to the point where she makes an unforgivable wish. But every wish has a cost. She only finds out the price when she is forced to stand behind an invisible wall and watch as her life replays before her eyes, the film slowly burning away till there's nothing left. She cries as she falls into an ocean of familiar Lazarus green.

Danny

. Danny's life is also crumbling around him as he struggles to separate his human life from his ghost half. But after becoming the Ghost King, things only became more complicated and even more dangerous as more ghosts started coming through the portal to challenge him for the crown. And while he would really love to give it away, the guys that kept fighting him for it are very clearly evil. So he has to keep fighting, winning, and solidifying his position as the King of the Infinite Realms. But with every win comes a newfound power. Power he doesn't want. Power that scares him.

. It gets to the point when Danny has to drop out of school. He wasn't even scoring double digits anymore so what was the sense of keeping him? But Danny couldn't stay home either, it was too dangerous as his ghost and human halves were slowly becoming one. And his parents' obsession was slowly becoming a threat to him. He thought he had the solution. He was going to shut down the portal and leave Amity Park.

. It was perfect really, as no ghost portal meant no ghost. And he couldn't be vivisected if neither the GIW nor his parents could catch him. He talked the plan over with team phantom and they reluctantly agreed. The ghost portal is destroyed, and Danny leaves Amity and files over Elmerton and a few other towns. But after flying for a while, Danny gets to a sort of border where nothing meets... NOTHING. On the other side was just an infinite void. Nothing.

. Danny slowly realizes that in this world, all he knew was Amity Park. He never actually traveled or went on field trips. Never went to visit extended family nor did any visit. No one 'new' ever came to Amity Park because they were all just nearby. He learned no relevant history besides Amity Park because there was nothing outside of Amity Park. When the realization had finally set in the world began to crumble into the void and it became a race against him and the void.

. Danny knew that he was fast but the void was faster, and before he knew it he was back in Amity. He was going to warn them and try to save as many people as he could. But saw something in their eyes. They already knew. Danny watched how teary eyes and big smiles, everyone and everything he loved crumbled into the void, fading into nothingness.

Scientists across the galaxy, the universe even, often theorize about how everything came to be. Well, it didn't start with a bang, that's for sure. 'Well then how did it start?' you might ask.

Well..., it started with some tears and a scream.

Moments when Will Graham decided to freak it that are burned into my brain

When he knowingly and willingly ate the flesh of Randall Tier, who he’d recently beaten to death while imagining that he was doing it to the same man who’s sitting right across from him. Who he licks his human-flesh-covered fork and smirks at as they eat and drink wine. (S2 ep10– Will tells Hannibal Randall’s flesh he’d saved is Freddie’s, presumably without Jack’s knowledge of this particular disturbing facet of his conflicted scheme to catch Hanninal, and they have dinner together.)

When Hannibal asked him how it felt to kill, and how Will imagines he would kill him— stating that guns lack intimacy, that murder can be an intimate act— specifically when it concerns the two of them. Will then envisions suspending Hannibal in a straitjacket and slitting his throat, Hannibal pursing his lips as if expecting a kiss as Will bathes in the blood spray. (S2 ep12– during a therapy session while discussing Will’s murder and display of Randall.)

When he dreamed about tying Hannibal to a tree as he transformed into the stag man, ropes strangling him as Will directed the ravenstag to pull them tighter, forcing a confession from him— "No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them…. Expressing that love, our beloved’s potential comes true.” Will wakes up after Hannibal’s body bursts in a fountain of blood. (S2 ep9– Will wakes up after this at the start of the episode. Based on how he uses his empathy, it’s safe to say he, too, can control his dreams….)

…..When he hooked up with Margot, who’s definitely attractive and was eager for her own reasons— and literally had an eyes-rolling-back level orgasm from imagining Hannibal as the monstrous stag man stalking towards him in the firelight instead of focusing on the hot woman in bed with him. (S2 ep10, when Margot hooked up with Will so that she could have a baby to secure her family inheritance— which Mason removed and later killed.) Hashtag very normal and not at all kinky and queer asf insane thoughts to have…..

if i think about cobigail and inspekta too much i start getting nauseous it's actually so dire you don't even know

[nobodymitskigabriel]

As insufferable as s13 Lucifer is I don't think it's out of character for him to weaponize Gabriel's trauma during an argument especially since Gabriel never cared to be tactful toward Lucifer's trauma. But none of that has any bearing on the fact that Lucifer would have had an absolute Time with the guy who tortured his little brother. I mean sure getting burned alive probably wasn't fun but Gabriel killed him relatively quickly. Weighed against the possibilities, Asmodeus got off easy.

Constantly thinking about how WWX thinks about JC how he thinks JFM thought about YZY but mostly as how he denied and yet carelessly commented JFM thinks (disregards) about JC

It is so, so, so fucked up and one of the reasons why chengxian is so doomed by the narrative bc no matter what JC does or says, WWX already "knows" what is about. Bc JC is his shidi and WWX knows best. And still, pre masacre, pre core exchange, it could have work. It could have, because they love each other so much but JC lost his core. WWX thinks he chose his parents. He thinks Jc choose the dead bodies of his parents, a filial duty, over survival, over him. And he never forgave Jc for it.

Bc now is WWX turn to assume the consequences of his shidi actions, now it is his turn to bear the pain for him. And he does not do it with reluctance, he does not, he does it bc he loves Jc so so much, but still. Still. The hurt it caused it. The hell it send to him. The hopelessness.

And then to see his shidi thrive were he can’t no longer. To see him shine when he is but a shadow. To see him reach for the impossible time and time again as if it was not WWX who never gave up before, who rallied his shidi over his (small, imagined, greedy) woes. To see all that and know envy, envy he had denied his whole life and envy he will repress into resentment, into sth useful bc WWX is not like yzy or Jc he is not, he does not hurt the ones he lives with his jealousy and sense of inferiority. Bc how can he not envy, when one says his dad doesn’t love him but he still has a dad? When one says he is not enough for his sect when he has such a inheritance, such a clear path at life. And WWX never cared never ever ever, how could he? He loved his shidi best, in spite of all the bad things.

And somehow, Jc himself is a thing he has to be loved in spite of. And it’s heartbreaking.

[amelikos]

I wonder how much Liko told the others after the events of HZ065..

We know she told them about the Rakurium and Spinel using it during the episode itself, but I wonder if she told them about being stuck in a cave with Amethio later on or if she just mentioned it in passing.

【KagePro】 KuroEne AU: Kuroha/Saeru leads the department store attack 🖤💙

Intro

Summary:

KuroEne AU: Kuroha/Saeru plans and leads the terrorist attack that happens at the department store in every KagePro Route, except this takes place 1 - 2 years prior to canon.

Kuroha takes Shintaro’s phone (that has Ene inside), and leaves the vicinity to possess Konoha’s body prior to his first meeting with Ene.

Previous post and context summary: [X]

Saeru hacks into the department store's control room

Me: I wanna come up with some more ideas for the KuroEne AU Route where Kuroha/Saeru plans the terrorist attack (or bomb) at the department store.

Does he just have a back-up for the bomb to not actually blow? Like a safety mechanism. Cuz he's just counting on the MekaDan to be able to disable it

F: I haven't thought about it that way—

I’d just make sure that the bomb is detectable by Ene so then she can hack it and turn it off

Me: Ooooh gotcha, that makes sense. So it has some kind of program on the bomb/explosive that Ene can detect. So then she can hack into it and deactivate the bomb.

Me: I should probably rewatch the Movie at some point cuz it's been so long, but I know how the Terrorist scenario goes in the other Routes

In this hypothetical KuroEne AU Route, I'm assuming that Kuroha/Saeru possesses one of the Terrorist dudes and is the one leading the terrorists, but he lets the operation fail cuz he wants to see what the MekaDan will do, and also so he can snatch Ene (residing in Shintaro’s phone) after

Since Saeru apparently got the department store made in the first place, he can probably get access to special/confidential (employee access only) rooms via using one of his fake identities by using Awakening Eyes to transform.

So he hacks the security system, which locks all the doors. We could have actual terrorists with a bomb or just a lockdown, but I feel like the actual bomb threat would make the MekaDan and Shintaro panic more, similar to all the other Routes

F: ‼️

Me: I just looked at the MR1 Terrorist plot chapters to remind myself

Ene wants to go to the Amusement Park with Shintaro, and also wants to go look at new clothes...

KuroEne clothes shopping date. I should write about that. Something cute in the midst of all this angst

Ene: Let's go look at some new clothes, Master!

Shintaro: (She's really fascinated by the outside world, huh…)

Different idea, but this just makes me think of Ene dragging Saeru by the arm (who lets himself get pulled along) going clothes shopping together 🤗💗

Ok so I'm just gonna note down whatever's gonna be relevant for my KuroEne AU Route.

So the terrorists get into the security system and close off all the shutters and talk over the PA system, so no one inside the building can escape. The terrorists take everyone inside the department store as hostages and ties their hands up. The terrorists announce they want a 1 billion yen ransom within 30 minutes, or else they’ll kill all the hostages. They were planning to leave via helicopter.

Shintaro can only hear Ene via his earphones cuz his phone is in his pocket.

Shintaro: That “state of the art” security system fell apart like a house of cards!

It should be easy enough for Saeru to get access to and hack especially if he got the department store made in the first place. In MR1, Shintaro connects his phone to the computer via USB so Ene can hack into the control room and open the shutters

I forget what happens in the Movie Route, I'd have to rewatch it soon. But then as you said, in the Movie, Shintaro's phone gets thrown and Hibiya finds it and gives it to Konoha

With this kind of scenario, tbh it'd be very easy to imagine one of the terrorists (Saeru or the dudes he's commanding) taking it from Shintaro directly (like when the terrorists in MR1 threaten Shintaro), but that would draw more suspicion to him, cuz if that happens, Shintaro would want to track the dude down and get his phone and Ene back

So yeah it'd be best if his phone just gets dropped on the ground after it gets thrown (I forget who threw it) and Saeru just picks it up afterwards

Later on when Ene meets Saeru, she probably asks him, "Were you also taken hostage!? Oh boy, that must've been scary...! You see, a friend of mine got caught up in it too, so I'm wondering if he's ok... We got separated during the whole ordeal!"

I'm just drafting ideas rn but I probably should write dialogue scripts eventually for Saeru organizing the terrorists. He's probably speaking to them via those audio headsets or whatever?

Saeru orders the terrorists to take all of the hostages' belongings

Me:

The other Terrorists when Saeru just dips: ❓

He's getting out of there, see ya 🤸

And he just picks up Shintaro's phone that was dropped on the ground and leaves

These guys are probably getting arrested whenever officials arrive or something

F: BRO JUST DIPPED OUT??

"Girlfriend obtained, I'm out of here"

Me: YEA I imagine he just leaves

HAHA

The other terrorists are probably just gonna get arrested and taken in for questioning once authorities arrive

I imagine he leaves before the authorities arrive. Like when Ene disables the bomb and hacks the control room so the shutter doors open, that's when he leaves. It doesn't matter to him cuz even if the other terrorists know him by his face, he'll be dumping the body for Konoha anyways

Me: I imagined that the MekaDan and Shintaro (aided by Ene) manage to get the shutter doors open and stop the terrorists. And then Saeru just picks up the phone on the ground and leaves afterwards

Tbh I could also consider the possibility of him not leading the terrorists in person, but leading them from a separate room

Cuz otherwise, that risks one of the MekaDan members seeing one of the terrorists pick up a phone off the ground, and knowing the terrorist's face (unless he made sure that no one was looking or around in the same vicinity as him at the time)

So he just gives orders via an audio headset through the control room (security room)

F: OOOH YEAH. But what about picking Ene up, how would he do that??

Me: Maybe when the MekaDan's operation is done, that's when he comes out to pick up the phone

Or he arranged for one of the terrorists to bring the phone to him (prior to the MekaDan's victory)

F: Wouldn't Shin's phone be his dearest artifact??? Shin would at somepoint search around

Me: YEAH it would be... Though I'm just going off of how you said in the Movie Route, Shintaro's phone gets thrown and Hibiya finds it and brings it to Konoha

Me: Yeah I definitely think Shintaro would search around after he realizes that it's missing. I think Saeru would take it before that happens

F: This would make sense if Saeru told the terrorists to take every single lost belongings to him directly. Telling them to only bring a specific phone would be too suspicious

Me: OH good point. I didn’t think of that at first. And then Saeru takes Shintaro's phone. And at the very end, the MekaDan gets everyone's' belongings back

F: I imagine that Saeru would specify the brand like "I-Phone bla bla bla-"

Me: YEAH like he probably knows what device it is? He could've tracked Shintaro's IP beforehand. Like prior to the terrorist plot. Cuz you can definitely find out info like what device a user logs onto a site with. Added with his knowledge of previous Routes

Me: Good idea! So I imagine Saeru tells the terrorists at the start of the operation to search through everyone's pockets and take their belongings so that they can't contact anyone without them knowing (smart idea honestly)

And then the terrorists bring him everyone's belongings (including the ones of random civilians)

And the terrorists search through the pile and bring him the one he's looking for (either that, or he searches through the pile himself after the terrorists bring everyone's belongings to him)

And then he finds Shintaro's phone (with Ene inside). Turns it off just in case

Me: Yeah like Saeru would tell the terrorists that this prevents the hostages from being able to contact others from the outside

Saeru leaves with Ene to arrange their meeting

Oh yeah, I am thinking of how this KuroEne AU scenario would play out... Y’know, the KuroEne Route where Kuroha/Saeru leads and plans the terrorist attack but lets it fail because he wants to see different outcomes. So the Mekakushi Dan stops the attack with Shintaro and Ene’s help

So I realized yesterday that the Terrorist plot would play out differently in this Route with Shintaro and the MekaDan especially if he has the Terrorists search and take everyone's belongings?

Cuz once the Terrorists take everyone's belongings to Kuroha/Saeru, he would have Shintaro's phone (with Ene inside) in his possession.

It would deal a blow to Shintaro's original plan (to have Ene help him with a 100% success rate), but I imagine he would be able to recover from this and come up with something else.

In the original version of the Terrorist plot, Shintaro has Ene uploaded to the computer (when he connects his phone to the computer monitor screen via USB) and has her hack the control room and open the shutter doors. (I forgot how they defeat the Terrorists in the movie though)

I wonder if Kuroha/Saeru just does Shintaro's job for him, like uploading Ene to a nearby computer in another room just so she can hack into the control room and detect and disable the bomb. Cuz he has to make sure Ene doesn't see his face (even if he's using one of the Terrorists' bodies)

Maybe he should put a covering over the monitor screen or something.

And then afterwards, I imagine Kuroha/Saeru just leaves with Ene, and then Shintaro and the MekaDan hurry to find the room where everyone's belongings was taken.

All other MekaDan members find their own phones, and redistribute everyone's belongings to the people taken hostage, and Shintaro panics when he doesn't see his phone amongst the pile

Me: God I love the expressions in the Novel Route where Ene apologizes to Shintaro, and when Shintaro uploads Ene to the main screen

F: In the movie, they invaded the control room, used Momo to get everyone's attention, and then Ene does her thing (Idk it just cuts to a happy, not so happy ending)

Me: OOOH I see. So they would manage to break into the control room after everything is done

F: Cue Shintaro looking for his phone in the lost and found

Me: Cuz in this hypothetical Route, once the Terrorists announce something like, "We've just received orders from our leader to search for everyone's belongings," Shintaro and Ene would be like (!?)

Cuz that puts a blow in their plan. And Shintaro's phone with Ene inside would be taken by one of the terrorists. But considering that the phone is turned off, she doesn't see anyone's face

Considering that Kuroha/Saeru lets his "plan" fail on purpose, I wonder if he just transfers Ene to the control room's computer via USB (in Shintaro’s place) so she can do her thing and hack the control room.

But Ig once the incident is resolved, Ene would assume that the terrorists were dealt with (since the shutter doors were closed and she opened it, so everyone could be rescued)

Me: YEAH so Saeru leaves with Ene in Shintaro's phone (cuz I assume that Ene returns back from the control room's computer back to Shintaro's phone once she opens the shutter doors)

And then the MekaDan would navigate to the Control Room and first take back their own phones and belongings, and Shintaro would be frantically rummaging through the pile

Shintaro: Where is it...!?!?

Kido: ......Is something wrong?

Shintaro: (Shit, shit, shit...! Did those guys take her or something......!? Ene.........!)

F: “I wonder if Saeru just does Shintaro’s job for him and transfers Ene to the control room”

Ooh this one's a good idea too

But going with the Movie. Shintaro's clumsy ass literally lost his phone and didn’t realize it 😭

Me: HELPPP

OH yeah maybe he doesn't realize until after

Me: Like there's a few ways this can go:

The Terrorists announce that they're going to take everyone's belongings and brings them to Kuroha/Saeru himself

Shintaro accidentally drops his phone and doesn't realize, and Saeru picks up Shintaro's phone off the ground and leaves

Cuz with the 1st one, at the end, Shintaro would assume:

The Terrorists took Shintaro's phone with Ene inside once they realized there was some sort of girl in the phone (and not just someone on video call)

The Terrorists accidentally dropped his phone somewhere while they were bringing everyone's belongings to the control room

F: I feel like he'd do both. Like telling the terrorists to take everything but also check everyone's pockets

Me: Yeah that makes sense. He's being a bit more “serious”

Like he’s only letting it fail on purpose so he gets a new interesting way to meet Ene

Me: Taking away everyone’s belongings including devices is really smart of him… If the terrorists had thought of this in the other Routes, it would instantly bust Shintaro's plan. And ofc Saeru Hebi with his knowledge of previous Routes, knows that Shintaro is gonna use Ene to deal with the terrorists

Me: And then when Kuroha takes back on the phone after coming back to his house and possessing Konoha, Kuroha/Saeru can just tell Ene that he picked up a phone that was dropped on the ground.

Looks like the terrorists accidentally dropped the phone on the way to the control room while they were bringing everyone's belongings to the leader.

F: Oooh that's a pretty good excuse. But Ene would also react since.. well... Konoha and Haruka

Would she even try to call him "Haruka" at somepoint?

F: "Please return me to my owner then, he lives in [X]"

Me: Yeah I wonder if Ene would have the same reaction that she does in MR2 with mistaking Konoha for Haruka... Though I imagine he's probably thought through what to say to her

(He basically scripted the whole thing in advance. Like prior to pulling off the terrorist plot, he ran through the scenario in his head many times, so he’d know exactly what to say.)

The thing is, he DOES know about her memories with Haruka. But not sure if he wants to reveal that.

Me: But then, Kuroha/Saeru is obviously not planning to give Ene back lol? He's just gonna give back Shintaro's phone to appease Shintaro and Ene's worries.

Cuz I feel like Saeru can convince Ene to stay with him by appealing to her with the proposal to make the android body, added with him being a mysterious stranger that looks almost identical to her long lost love

F: I feel like Ene wouldn't say it out loud like "Haruka??? Is that you?"

No, she would zone out a bit and overthink it

Me: OH gotcha, that makes sense. That's how I wrote it too

Like she'd just zone out and think back on the past.
