fusion masterpost

[orange-orchard-system]

I'm honestly kind of amused by the idea that purposeful fusion is murder. Like, both of us consented. We had long discussions about it. And we're both still here, just now as one. It just reminds me of the idea that all BDSM is abuse – the idea of mutual consent and desire seems impossible for these people to grasp; it can never be that both of us wanted this, it must always be that one of us forced the other into it. But since both of us consented, following this logic, it turns into a sort of... double murder-suicide? Except the victims are still both alive.

It also mimics the idea that transition "kills" a person because they've "changed too much". Again, we are both still here. We are just different. We have merged our identities into one being, and the only reasons we still use "we" is because we like it more and feel it illustrates a point here. And the interesting thing is... You're accusing us of harming each other, but you don't actually care about any harm we go through, do you? If you did, you would listen when we tell you that prior to fusion, both of us were listless, dysphoric, tormented by our lack of solid identity and self. You would know that fusion made us stable and able to feel happy. You wouldn't suggest that our recovery is an act of selves-harm and violence. You would wait two seconds before opening your mouth and discover that we went through careful steps to ensure our fusion would lessen our suicidality – and it did! Being fused, we "both" want to die a lot less, now! Because we fused, we can actually enjoy life now, and have a greater chance of sticking around to see it... If you actually cared about the harm and pain a system like us can go through, you would see exactly how similar what you're saying is to how transphobes talk about transition. You wouldn't make up this narrative that something extremely good for our health is murder.

These people are also generally... very pushy about their own philosophical beliefs. Sorry, but no, not everyone sees their own selves as individual people. And even those that do reserve the right to autonomy; if your argument is that people in a system are not allowed to make major decisions about their own life precisely because they're in a system... If you think people in a system cannot possibly consent to major life changes, unlike singlets... whoopsiedoopsie! Sounds like you're just a regular pluralphobe to me!

I'd listen to this accusation more if it didn't sound like the exact same shit TERFs and bigots in general say. There's no need to listen to someone who makes wild accusations due to completely misunderstanding a situation and tries to push their own beliefs onto everybody else. You're indistinguishable from a pushy Evangelical, right down to the "(x action that doesn't actually end any lives and in facts contributes to saving them) is murder!"

... Also, I find it funny to imagine them yelling at a TV whenever the trope of body merging comes on. "Don't these screenwriters know that's murder?!"

So, yeah, I find this whole notion so very, very silly.

[mishy-mashy]

This was on a separate post but I think it should have its own (also because I went off-track when I first wrote this)

Remember when Midoriya was trying to wake up a Quirk as a child, trying to pull the couch toward him or breathe fire?

This was him trying to use his parents' Quirks, in the hope he inherited one of theirs.

Inko could pull small objects. Hisashi could breathe fire.

Anyway this is a [Midoriya has AFO] post and [DFO is real]-

Anyway please listen? If his dad was AFO, and passed on that Quirk to little Midoriya, it makes sense that they all considered him Quirkless.

All For One starts as a blank slate. It has no Quirks available, because none were taken yet. And if no Quirks were stolen, nevermind passing through the user to be bestowed to others, then AFO at the base level is the equivalent of being Quirkless.

Midoriya having AFO would leave him as Quirkless. And he never would've known if he had AFO, because he thinks his dad just breathes fire. AFO's existence is just an urban legend to people back then.

Midoriya wouldn't be able to breathe fire if AFO was his dad, because that was never his Quirk.

Even if he did have a fire-breathing Quirk, AFO holds onto random ones like Naval Laser. It could just be one of those gags.

All For One is a quirk that takes. One For All decides to be given.

Midoriya, rather than take, was instead given Quirks, and sees people's goodness. He isn't selfish at his core. He's too optimistic. This is the opposite of AFO, which takes and gives—Midoriya was on the receiving end of being given, by OFA.

If Midoriya had a natural AFO, it makes sense that he's Quirkless. It also makes sense that he can handle multiple Quirks from OFA; because the nature of AFO is being able to wield multiple Quirks in one body.

AFO looks for Quirks that are easy to use, and straightforward. Midoriya ended up with Quirks that he has to strategize and think with, and even Bruce mentions his brain couldn't do all the processing, which is why he froze up.

Midoriya is past the point of Singularity. Yoichi says this when he first tells Ninth "You are not alone". But Midoriya is completely fine.

He only breaks his bones. He doesn't deform and become something the human body warps to be able to contain the Quirks. He got a good deal, when considering what Shigaraki became once.

He has OFA's Quirk Factor, but that Quirk Factor stores up Quirk Factors within itself. We can deduce that from Bruce saying only Danger Sense's Factor was stolen. It's naturally a stockpiling power similar to AFO that Yoichi had forced on him, and at its very base, Bruce called an "unformed dud".

Now, it's more grown from all the strength and Quirks stockpiled. Even if OFA counts as one Quirk, it still holds multiple Factors inside itself, so it might as well be the same as multiple Factors to the body. When Shinomori explained his life shortened because of multiple Quirks, he shows all the users before him, rather than the more-common "One For All is glowing in my hand" or "One For All is a flame" image to show the crystallization of power. Though it could just be to show the individuals adding to the short-life..

In the void, we see OFA vestiges are inside the vault, according to the door's face. On the other side, like when Yoichi was alive, could be AFO.

Midoriya sees the goodness of people. He said Eri's power was gentle, and always affirms that she saved him when she tries putting herself down. He says Shinso's Quirk is amazing, and he'd make a great hero. When seeing Chisaki while fighting Nagant, he just said he'd talk to him later, and promised to fulfill her promise if he was willing to direct his regret toward Eri. Kudo says he should hate Bakugo, but Midoriya looks at the heart, and believes in that.

AFO only sees the Quirk first. He looked at Ragdoll, decided to take the Quirk and didn't care for what happened to her body afterwards. When he looked at Best Jeanist, he applauded his use of his Quirk to save everyone, but then knocked Jeanist down anyway, saying it required too much work, so he didn't need the Quirk.

Midoriya having AFO and OFA would make him an intersection. He's born with AFO, but because he believed he was Quirkless, had grown up being put down, and knows what it's like to be weak. Born with AFO, but seeing the unequal world, and being given OFA because he wanted to save people and be a hero.

Y'know, this sounds a lot like Yoichi. Believed to be Quirkless because his Quirk required someone else, and therefore was unfinished and "non-existent". Even AFO didn't realize it existed because it was so weak.

Midoriya wanted to save people. He has AFO. He's living what AFO could've done [saving others] and embodying Yoichi's belief ["the power to give and take could have been the kindest in the whole world"].

All For One is blank. AFO only had an Ability he could use because he stole his mother's at birth.

Midoriya didn't. His Quirk should've come when he turned five. And he didn't know about AFO. He doesn't even have holes in his palms

If there's no holes in his palms, either his Quirk Factor is elsewhere, or manifests differently in said hands. In which we consider Inko: she can pull small objects toward her

It's possible for Midoriya to have a combination of AFO and Inko's Abilities. He tried pulling objects, but he never tried pulling people or Quirks.

If Midoriya can take Quirks from a distance, and AFO, like OFA, stores Quirks within a single Factor, then Kudo could be saying to let go of One For All so he can make room for All For One's Factor. Midoriya would have the capacity for it.

Here’s some positivity for headmates who are the result of fusion!

Fusion can often be a sign of healing, and is a normal, natural process for many systems! Fusion is nothing to fear or avoid, and while it may be confusing or alarming for some, headmates who are a result of fusion are valid, wonderful, and worth uplifting and celebrating in our spaces! So here’s to all the headmates out there who are the result of fusion!

🌷 Shoutout to headmates who fused after intensive work or progress in therapy!

☘️ Shoutout to headmates who fused randomly or with seemingly no outside influence!

🌼 Shoutout to headmates whose fusion is volatile, unstable, or who are at risk of splitting into separate headmates again!

🌱 Shoutout to headmates who kept and maintained their old identities after they fused!

💐 Shoutout to headmates who worked hard internally in order to achieve fusion!

🍃 Shoutout to headmates who, after fusing, became a subsystem or a headmate with headmates of their own in some way!

🌻 Shoutout to headmates who often fuse temporarily and then unfuse later!

🌿 Shoutout to headmates who became a totally different person after they fused!

🌺 Shoutout to headmates who sometimes miss or long for who they used to be before they fused!

🪴 Shoutout to headmates who lost memories of who they were pre-fusion after they fused!

🪷 Shoutout to those who are functionally singlets due to most or all of their headmates fusing in the past!

🌾 Shoutout to headmates who fused in order to help their system reach a smaller, more manageable number of headmates!

🌹 Shoutout to headmates who have fused as a part of their system’s path towards final fusion in the future!

Headmates who are a result of fusion are treasured and special members of their system and the plural community! We so value your unique perspectives and insights, and we are incredibly happy to be able to share these spaces with you. Know that, while different systems will view fusion in different ways, you are not wrong or bad for fusing! You have not killed any previous member of your system by fusing - those old headmates live on through you, even if who they are has changed drastically or seemingly doesn’t exist anymore!

We hope that every headmate who is the result of fusion can take it easy and show themselves some kindness and compassion today. Remember that you are so loved just the way you are! Fusion may be misunderstood or even demonized by some folks, but please know that on this blog, we love and support every headmate who has fused, is curious about fusion, or wants to fuse in the future! Y’all make the plural community a better place, and we’re wishing the very best for you in all that you do. As always, thanks so much for reading, and take care!

[delphientropy]

friendly reminder that "non disordered systems" arent people who healed from their trauma. its people who think they can cherry pick our disorder and claim that they have symptoms (like alters) without actually having trauma or the disorder. if you heal or do final fusion, you still HAVE the disorder! you can STILL split! it happens and is medically recorded! DID/OSDD/etc are lifelong! there is no "cure" for it! you cannot become a non-disordered system! thank you

(Warning!! If you dislike hearing about the characters Kieran and Carmine in emotional or physical pain, please do not read this post, I do not want to make anyone upset. :) CW: mentions of torture, medical settings, laboratories.)

So I’ve had this AU for awhile, Don’t Trust Dr. Fuse, right?

For those of you who don’t know, Dr. Fuse is an Mandjtv character, a mad scientist researching Pokemon fusion. Now in his original source, he’s already a bit unstable, but I was like, okay, let’s make him fucking batshit.

So, he owns an underground bunker lab where he lures humans and experiments on them with fusion and tortures them. He takes his human subjects and fuse’s them with whatever Pokemon he sees fit.

So I was like. Why not put Kieran and Carmine in the lab?

So here’s my concepts for their DTDF AU designs.

First up: Kieran! Fused with Pecharunt. (The idea of fusing him with Pecharunt was very much inspired my @tealmaskmybeloved’s Toxic Consequences AU)

Being in the lab has him more reserved than ever, preferring to be alone, but for other reasons as well. There are poisonous cracks all over his body, which are very painful to him when they grow, but otherwise are painless. There’s a crack over his right eye, so he can no longer see out of it.

Poison types are always a ticking time bomb when it comes to losing their minds or death, Kieran has been awfully resistant to the normal effects of the poison type on humans, however. Perhaps because the subject of the fusion was a mythical, therefore a legendary?

But his mind does tend to feel cloudy all the time since he got there. But maybe that’s just because of his solitary most of the time.

He has the tendacies to hide in his shell when he’s distressed, but Fuse took those away as to freak him out emotionally and to leave him with no comfort. He did a similar thing with Carmine as well.

(All mythical’s are legendaries but not all legendaries are mythicals etc. etc.)

I will get into his and Carmines relationship with eachother in Carmine’s section. (REMINDER. Relationship does not inherently mean romantic, dumb dumb.)

And Carmine! Fused with Ogrepon :)

Carmine wants desperately to reach out to Kieran, to talk to him, but Kieran refuses. Probably because the last time they were in the same room their bodies acted on their own and wouldn’t stop attacking each other until they were both exhausted.

Carmine lost her normal arms, replaced completely with Ogrepon’s

Carmine is also not allowed to have her masks, or cudgel. Her cudgel, the cornerstone, hearthflame, and wellspring masks are all kept in Dr. Fuse’s main office. The teal mask was given to Kieran as to cause even more tension to form between them.

Kieran fighting with Carmine is especially tough for him because it means he’s hurting his sister and the Ogre.

Please feel free to ask any questions about this AU or Kieran and Carmine’s situation!

There is an ask blog for this AU but Kieran and Carmine have yet to make an appearance there. @doctorfuse

(Briar is also in the lab! But she has yet to be finished)

as per my last post, i actually take the 'worst written wolverine' thing back. i've seen far worse. hes actually pretty entertaining in this(and considering how often i wish for rep of logan being a huge jerk, im not exactly in the right to complain here. i got Exactly what i asked for lmao oops)

also per my last post, did some investigating for how long that drive would be—

nne vancouver, thats likely mount seymour park(i can vouch, i live here), to montana…..

BROTHER THATS A 14 HOUR DRIVE AT LEAST.

u know vics lonely ass didnt stop talking that entire trip. so logan running him over with a truck and stabbing him thru the skull is a bit justified ig.

anyway. parallel between a girl he fought once and immediately madeout with / fucked mid fight(panels are post-sex) + guy hes been fighting with for 40 years

god.

and the bit later? back with willoughby? after he recovered from getting a truck parked on him by logan?

sure he hates him but thats his BUDDY. he wouldnt kill him even for 5 million. and this is literally coming from mr new money. mr does anything for a paycheck.

and the final fight……

at first glance it could be jealousy, but really, victors trying to convince him hes doing right by killing her. that its not just some random act of villainy.

that this is the kinda 'right' thing that he knows logan cant do himself, and that hes doing him a favor by being the one to act on it.

but hes also trying to hide the fact that hes not actually killing her out of mercy, hes killing her cuz hes scared of getting replaced. of them getting replaced.

he thinks of this as not just a thing for himself, but for the good of both of them.

its an incredibly one sided relationship of care. if he really saw logan as an enemy, he’d see him in the same way he views feral, a guy out to replace him.

but he doesnt. he sees them on equal plane, like a member of a pack, while logan is completely blind to his efforts. which is why this comic makes me go fucking insane.

Given how much we roll with Samus having a ton of self-loathing due to the deaths of so many loved ones by the time of Fusion... Let's do even more with that.

The SA-X is terrifying, and part of that comes from it being a soulless, unspeaking, automaton; Samus without any of the soul. But we also know the X can copy memories, and granted it's possible the X never got to access Samus' brain, and wouldn't have those as the SA-X.

But what if they still somehow did? We know there's more than one SA-X; About ten, Adam calculates. So maybe one of them is cold and unfeeling... But what if another is Samus' own self-loathing personified, externalized?

The X are clever; What if this SA-X voices all of Samus' doubts towards her. Tortures her psychologically to throw Samus off her game, because the X know that self-doubt can cause more intelligent creatures to underperform. What if we have an SA-X that asks aloud all the questions that Samus hates about herself; If she's such a hero, why are so many of her friends and family dead? Why does she destroy everything she touches?

This plays into Samus' self-destructive action in blowing up the BSL with herself aboard, because she's convinced herself she can't do anything right, so it doesn't matter if this doesn't actually eradicate the X on SR388. And then Adam, this computerized copy who is supposed to be cold logic, actually speaks through to Samus by acting more objective and reminding her; There are other ways to do this, and you don't need to die. And then he begins to rediscover himself.

And it's like a parallel because computer Adam is also a clone copying the memories and personality of an original, albeit a manmade, digital mimic. And Adam and the SA-X start off as cold and unfeeling, but then rediscover emotions; In the SA-X's case, they're cruel and ultimately meant more as a parroted echo of Samus' self-hatred, for an ulterior, practical motive of defeating the enemy at any cost. For Adam, it's him learning to live and love again, and save a friend from the fate he technically already went through, and can't truly come back from.

But yeah, imagine the SA-X constantly guilt-tripping Samus... Bringing up her parents, and then Gray Voice. Not to mention Rundas, Ghor, and Gandrayda. The Metroids, especially the Infant. Zebes. Adam Malkovich. Belittling, dismissing, undermining Samus' achievements, insisting those she did help and save, like the Luminoth or Old Bird, will follow suit eventually. She became Ridley when she eradicated the Ing, who just wanted to survive, and left only one baby Metroid alive.

It gaslights Samus, which adds to the paranoia of not knowing what to believe, what's real, with the X mimicking things and the Federation lying to Samus; Plus her projecting Adam onto what she believed was just a computer. She's really going through it, and for a while it's actually working in throwing Samus off of her game, and she already lost all her upgrades!

It's basically Samus fighting her inner demons; Not just this caricature of her as something that is only a weapon and destroyer, but her own feelings of inadequacy, the guilt, the loneliness, the tendency to push others away for fear of hurting them too. And the suicidal ideation. And eventually she conquers both of these takes on her that actually go hand in hand, and comes out stronger with her identity rediscovered and reclaimed, hence the removal of the helmet to reveal Samus within, and her Fusion suit resembling the classic Varia color scheme now.

Was in the mood to draw Nico Robin in my old style that I used to draw her a lot in after seeing the newest episode of the One Piece anime, it'll be familiar to anyone who's followed me since Tumblr in my pre-Samus days

okay i know i have a serious problem with coming up with au ideas then doing nothing with them, but i swear this one is still a cool idea that i might actually do something more with in the future.

with that being said, here's my idea for an undead monster au!

the concept takes place after the neutral ending. a month after basil and sunny take their own lives, aubrey ends up taking her own as well. after that, kel isn't far behind.

hero, now the last of the six remaining, ends up being pushed past his breaking point after kel's death, and just ever so slightly loses it due to overwhelming guilt and regret. he proceeds to spend the next fifteen or so years continuing his medical studies whilst also delving way too deep into ancient rituals and rumors of dark magic, all to find out how to bring everyone back and correct what he sees as his egregious, unforgivable mistakes. and eventually, he's successful! much to the dismay of the newly revived!

- sunny is brought back as a ghoulish zombie, missing a good number of his organs due to an in-depth embalming process. he's unable to breath or speak, and has a hard time getting around due to general sluggishness.

- mari is brought back as an incorporeal ghost, due to being near completely decayed by the time hero started preserving their bodies. she's unable to physically interact with the physical world whatsoever.

- basil is brought back as a sorta steampunk cyborg zombie. with brass clashing with flesh and a ticking clock instead of a heart, he ends up dealing with a lot of chronic pain and stiffness.

- kel and aubrey's corpses were. both in really bad shape. aubrey had a natural burial, speeding up the decaying process, and kel had thrown himself into traffic. both bodies alone were near unusable. however, they did nearly fill in the missing pieces of the other... so hero decided the best course of action would be to bring them back by frankensteining them together with a few stray pieces from other corpses here and there. their minds and souls are only partially melded together as a result. while there may be moments they act as two people rather than one, any emotions or thoughts are shared across both sides, making the inevitable arguments very complicated... anyone who knows me well should not be surprised i included this fusion in this au as well.

[ambyandony]

heres the limbo fusions with the rest of the vento aureo main protags

Limbo + Mista

Mimbo - any pronouns

"Are u lost bbygrl? :)"

(They give a weird stare if asked for a full name. They only use Mimbo, even though it’s a combination of Limbo’s forename and Mista’s surname.)

most stable Limbo fusion merely by virtue of Mista’s simple ability to just not give a fuck.

GET YOUR GUN OUT OF YOUR CLEAVAGE!

bitch gon step on my fuckin toe bitch with them fuckin cowgirl fuckin boots

VITALLY important that you know that despite being easily mistaken as fem on first glance, Mimbo also has the deepest voice of any Limbo fusion for literally no reason other than it’s funny to me. They also have sideburns

Stand: Mighty Wings - Redirects Signals. Still a colony Stand, looks like tiny little pastel fighter jets!

Limbo + Abbacchio

Lio Adkio - they/them

“Don’t say SHIT about my mascara or my eyeliner.”

“In fact, don’t fucking look at me or I’ll have to kill you or myselves.”

stable only because when Limbo started panicking in the mindspace, Abbacchio simply pointed and snapped at her to CALM THE FUCK DOWN. and she did so immediately.

nicer than Abbacchio. not by that much, though… but weirdly apologetic about it.

the eyeliner doesn’t appear to be due to crying, it seems that it just looks like that.

bazongas?

Stand: Keeping The Faith? Never Too Late? Shawty like a melody-

“rewinds” signals to previous states or connections and/or can do a “replay” of those signals’ succeeded actions (i.e. having a phone replay a prior conversation) Unfortunately, it’s pretty useless in combat.

Limbo + Giorno

Glimbo Giovadkins - she(?)/they/them

“Wouldn’t you like to hear one of my 765 fun facts about aerodynamics, animals or Air Bud?”

“I also have a few facts about botany, blood and birds.”

stable, until they’re not. they’re incredibly calm and delightful, but when they think someone’s mad at them they panic and start excessively apologising.

genuinely the softest cutest sweetest lil bitch you’ve ever seen. also traumatised with a guilty conscience and can flip on a dime in a terrifying way.

shortest Limbo fusion for no clear reason? shorter than both Limbo and Giorno.

Squalo’s worst fear.

sounds pretty much how you would expect.

Stand: Crystal Dolphin - can transform signals into life—by taking the signals out of something, typically disabling it, they can create life like Gold Experience can. The more complex the device, the bigger its potential creation.

Limbo + Buccellati

Bimbo Luno Adkellati - they/them

"...I've lost the conversation. I'm gonna go make pizza!"

Megan Thee Stallion?!

has no idea what’s going on for some reason? always looks a little confused and loses track of conversations very quickly.

very good with kids! practically unable to have a coherent conversation with Abbacchio. They don’t seem too distressed, but they just stop making much sense and seem to confuse themselves.

Stand: When Doves Cry? Perhaps Freewill? Uhm… I don’t know? Maybe it can sort of, ‘zip’ signals together, combining two or more functions into one sent signal? Bruno's ability is just so specific... I can't think of many ideas.

Limbo + Fugo

Fimbo (Pannalimbo Adkigo) - they/them

"STOP TALKING ABOUT FREUD BEFORE I KILL YOU WITH MY FUCKING BRACELETS!!!"

( Note: all currently depicted instances of Fimbo seem to be post-PHF, as Fimbo is almost always seen with the mouth scars hidden by the tattoo.)

enemy of the state. punches fascists. lovecore punk goth. in terms of authority figures they only respect Buccellati and Limbo’s dad.

AuDHD trauma poster child. Short fuse but very friendly until something sets them off and they start screaming and or burst into fucking tears.

Self-love in the sense that the fusionmates care about each other deeply and both sides are trying to look out for the other knowing the other won't look out for themself.

Stand: Cabin Fever - Terrifying deathly virus that, rather than being airborne like Purple Haze, is passed though signal transmission. Fimbo doesn’t know if the virus is the same as Purple Haze, a different strain of it, or something entirely different. It spreads most quickly through vocal communication between two people.

Limbo + Narancia

Nimbus Ghirgins - he/they/she

"tummyache... :("

Libby why does my stomach feel like it’s going to fucking collapse in on itself and why are my knuckles torn? aren’t they supposed to bruise when you punch?

bad relationship with food. Hanahaki disease, what are you doing here? (/ij)

sometimes they find Mista sitting around, sit next to him and fall asleep on him immediately

incredibly bad with emotions and doesn’t even get angry they just get overwhelmed instantly at any presence of significant emotion

Stand: Falling in Love/Hard on the Knees - who the fuck let this kid control CO2 emissions?? They can barely control themselves???
