Notes on The Mountain Wakes: A Brief Rundown on Technology and Its Influences

It's been quite a while since I last updated The Mountain Wakes, but I always remember how I looked at games such as Dark Souls 2, Morrowind, and They Are Billions (ironic, because I'm not really into zombie apocalypse media anymore like I used to be over a decade ago, and my PC at the time could barely run it) for inspiration to form the basis of the Bad Ending AU the fic takes place in. (You can clearly tell I'm a Morrowind fangirl because Autozam, Chizeta, and Fahren move in on Cephiro and put their stakes down the moment the Paths open without any conflict from Zagato and Emeraude whatsoever - not because it happens out of conquest, but because they're so immersed in their love for each other they ignore the problems going on Cephiro a'la fuck the world we don't care what happens to it so long as we have each other, it's not our problem anymore).

I would say the technological advancements, in the three year span that takes place after Chapter 1, would be much more developed than the steampunk Tesla Tech aesthetics seen in They Are Billions. With the arrival of the three realms, Cephiro goes from a very pastoral fantasy world with hints of old magitech (via the Saturn game) to a hard, cyberpunk theme that's part of an industrial revolution that's very much enforced.

Of the three Fahren very much leans into said cyberpunk aesthetic but is more or less inspired by the Japanese subgenre with Chinese/Asian influences and the splash of tech noir and that retro 1980s vibe that's often idealized (i.e. Chapter 2's first scene takes place as a train station terminal with payphone booths, something that IRL - at least in the States - barely in use anymore with the rise of mobile phones).

Autozam takes this a step further by being postmodern as well as nanopunk/biopunk (or trying to going in that direction in a bid to co-opt Fahren technology and repurpose it to eliminate Autozam's pollution and ecological disasters). It's about as futuristic as you can get, with their mechs and architectural approaches, so in comparison to Cephiro it's going to stick out a lot.

Chizeta would be something akin to solarpunk (to relieve the issue of overpopulation) while recognizing they are very much in the camp of technofantasy (because they don't explain their magic by applying science to it). However, there is an undercurrent of Cold War/cloak and dagger element going on that undermines Tarta and Tatra's attempts at establishing a colony for their people (read: hold onto control via authoritarian means that affect the population not in line with their cause/beliefs).

I had plans for Debonair and Nova to show up (albeit under different circumstances), but as I didn't get very far in the brainstorming phase at the time they currently don't amount to much in the plot beyond Nova being a boss fight for Umi to overcome. I like to think they'd be their own faction and sowing chaos in the background because everyone re: the three realms is too busy trying to get their upper hand over each other in the attempt to be the one to overthrow Zagato and Emeraude to become the Pillar and the people of Cephiro are too doompilled to fight back (and if they are fighting, it's against each other). They would be in the camp of pure magic and taking advantage of all the technology lying around for their own purposes while manipulating people's emotions a'la the Will of Cephiro to focus on perpetuating all the in-fighting.

@lara-legomonkiekid

What if Monkey King was a Yandere with Y/N?

(Lmk Wukong) He has so much trauma and loss that it's known that he became a yandere. Whenever He finds joy and happiness, it either gets ruined by himself or heaven, and the fact that it happens again and again and again is what drives him mad. So when he finally meets you, his broken world is suddenly fixed, and it's all thanks to you. He just has to marry you and give you the immortality peach and you'll be together forever🥰🥰🥰

(NR Wukong) I just know he'll be the most dangerous yandere. He's so unpredictable, like seriously, he's if the saying never let them know your next moves was a stone monkey. He is also clingy in a way that makes him mildly desperate, so I hope you don't have anything important during the cuddle session. Another thing is that I can see him killing behind your back like he could be a serial killer if he wanted, but what you don't know won't hurt you right.

(HIB Wukong) He is the king of isolation and paranoia. He was already stressed with almost losing Luier and silly girl, and then he got married to you. The only person who accepted with him and loved him despite his endless flaws and less the Stellar looks according to heaven but you stayed away. But be careful if you don't pay attention it will soon just be you, him, and the children.

(MKR Wukong) He's the most brutal yandere, well second most brutal (you'll see who's the first later😈) He's has more blood on his claws then one can count, and it's all just for you after all he can't have loser scrub idiots trying to take what is his. He would even have to regulate his own group if they dared to mess with or upset you especially if it's pigsy. So if he comes To you one day Offering bacon with your eggs then you will know exactly who your eating.

(Netflix Wukong) He's the yandere that has experienced way to much lost in a short amount of time. Like if he loses you to anything or anyone he can kiss his sanity and morals goodbye. Basically he loves you so much he would do anything for you, even kill just to make sure you will stay with him forever.

(BMW Wukong) This guy is a weapon of mass destruction and the Deadliest monkey king of all. He is not afraid to take lives of the ones who messed with you or tried to take you away from him. Of course he would gaslight and woo you into thinking that everything is fine and that you won't have to lift a single finger. Let your husband and king take care of everything darling.😈

(Destined one) Man he's the yandere nobody ever saw coming especially with how surprisingly chill he is. He would let you free and do whatever you want as long as you don't dare to escape him. Though he wouldn't have to worry because why would you do that for, he's also super Affectionate and would tear the world apart if he ever lost you. So if you were ever in any danger then the whole world with be as well👿👿👿

Day 2 Revenge Kirby Fighters 3 and Knuckles: Old Man Yaoi Edition

⚠️ LONG (but good-faith) RANT (that gives a little extra context for today's drawing) UNDER THE CUT (don't worry it's not shipping discourse lmao) ⚠️

Okay so I know neither of these modes are canon and therefore it's SORT OF a moot point, but NARRATIVELY SPEAKING, Meta Knightmare Returns and Dededetour are completely and utterly backwards, right???

What beef does King Dedede have with Dark Meta Knight? What beef does Meta Knight have with Sectonia and Dark Matter Swordsman (besides the fact that they both breathe and hold pointy weapons)? I understand that there's this ongoing plotline with having MK face swordfighters to test his skill, but I still think King Dedede should have been the one to rematch both DMS and Sectonia in Robobot (I do know Sectonia DX in TDX exists, but she isn't the final boss of the Dededetour mode which kinda sucks).

Shadow Dedede himself is a decent idea, but he's new to the series and has absolutely no story introduction (and his design isn't all that interesting, at least to me). Sectonia? Love her, but she deserves a Dedede hammer to the face for all three phases and more. DMS (and Dark Matter in general)? The ORIGINAL Dedede opp (besides Kirby lol). I know these are just clones in-story, but the coolness factor is still there.

You can make the argument that MK got to fight Mecha Knight because of MKR--which is cool, definitely, but if it were King Dedede the same could be said for the Dedede Clone fight, so in my eyes it evens out (actually... Dedede beating Stock Mecha would probably have been even more hype. imho).

Also, a Galacta Knight battle with solo King Dedede would be rad. The power scalers would have a FIELD DAY!!!

Likewise, Meta Knight never actually got to beat DMK in a proper battle at any point, did he? So based on both canon and alt timelines, DMK could still whoop MK's ass. That's just wrong... :(

It's my understanding that TDX was made with absolutely no anticipation of Robobot, so it could be the case that they simply didn't want to give Dedede the spotlight twice. But I sort of wish they had held back on MKR regardless.

Really, I don't think you NEED the anticipation of Robobot's specific plot/mechanics to see that MKR would have fit perfectly in TDX, because it answers the question of "where the hell is MK and why did he sit back when Dedede got kidnapped"? Having him fight DMK would be a way cooler explanation than an implicit "he was doing something somewhere else."

Maybe he's been fighting on the sidelines and is now clearing out the castle--which is full of Sectonia's remaining minions, the strongest and most loyal--and getting to the bottom of some source of magic still coming from the castle. Meanwhile Dedede and Kirby are helping out the people of mainland Popstar that were displaced by Sectonia and the Dreamstalk. And DMK (or, even better--a form of Dark Mind!) serves as the final boss.

Likewise, while the main events of Robobot are going on, the King could be helping Floralia defend themselves from the invasion. (The existence of Sectonia Clone combined with the pause screen that claims "Floralia is too remote to be mechanized yet" is literally just a plot hole anyway. The invaders couldn't overtake Floralia by the time we're fighting Sectonia Clone... despite the fact that they obviously DID find the huge plant that leads DIRECTLY to their kingdom AND the invaders have a mother(computer)ship the size of Planet Popstar AND practically infinite robot soldiers...? Be so fr...)

Extra work/game industry deadlines are a consideration too, but I don't think that applies too heavily here because both modes could have heavily reused and repurposed assets and level designs.

MK could have just had the typical EX mode recolors and stuff, but maybe with the story explanation/design concept that the bosses are being controlled by the Dark Mirror this time, instead of being aggravated by Taranza.

Dededetour in Robobot could have subsequently reused TDX assets. I feel like this is even a case where reskins are the objectively cooler option, as opposed to entirely new assets: seeing the flowery, green areas of Floralia converted to gross, grey landscapes would have been AWESOME, as well as seeing the insects and flower-based enemies turned to robots. Maybe the People of the Sky have been mind controlled: the six main flower fairies work together as a miniboss, and defeating them/breaking their mind control apparatuses is how they are "rescued" here, in parallel to their game of origin. Maybe Taranza is also being mind-controlled in an act of universal karma and Dedede has to bail him out. That would be sick!

This stuff isn't a series-ruiner by any means, but it genuinely feels like a glitch in the Kirby matrix that the plotlines here are so mismatched. If I were whimsically rewriting the Kirby series, the MKR and Dededetour swap would probably be the first change I'd make. (And, again, I'd like to acknowledge that there are/were probably practical considerations of which I'm ignorant.)

You know how the series could still fix everything, though...? Kirby Fighters 3, BUT this time King Dedede and Meta Knight are the main protags. They get to fight magically-summoned/echo versions of DMK, DMS, Sectonia, King D-Mind, Yin-Yarn... you name it. TOGETHER. As husbands should!!!

[chubbyheadquarters]

Hey uhh...can I request that MKR Sun Wukong with a like 'fluttershy personality' s/o? Like first time meet they were shy and easily flustered but when they mad or furious they go like "a pissed of Nicole Watterson Mode" or something like that. S/O really like nature and doesn't like Violence but used it when they really needed too...

You can ignore this all you can

Genre: Romantic

Pronouns: Gender-Neutral

TW/CW: None

Character(s): Sun Wukong-Monkey King

Honestly, I feel like he'd be a tease. Seeing you fluster so easily from a compliment or two gets a kick out of him. He'd never tell you, but he thinks it's pretty cute when your round cheeks flush in a deep red.

Your kindness is overwhelming, but a nice change to the group. He likes it, especially when you direct it towards him. You also try your best to empathize with him and get the others off his back. And the thing is, you ACTUALLY take his reason for doing something into account.

Everyone assumes that he just attacks blindly, like he doesn't have a brain to think with. You're the only one who takes his side and lend an ear. It makes him feel heard. Makes him feel better. Like his opinion/words actually matters.

He likes how in tune you are with nature, always admiring the new scenery, regardless of if its just a bunch of trees or a desert like scene. You soak in the sun, you don't mind getting a bit dirty from mud nor do you mind animals.

If anything, you're always able to gather a following of animals that adore you and don't wanna leave your side. Somehow, it seems as if you're in perfect tune with them, understanding what they want from you. It makes him that much more confident that the monkeys back home will love you.

He, along with other the others, are startled by the change when you're pissed off. Some demons were picking a fight, thinking you were weak, and you snapped, showing the others how you managed to survive for so long. He won't lie. He found it hot.

It's a bit of a bummer that you're not one for fighting, but if that's not your cup of tea, then he's willing to let it go. He does appreciate that you let him go willy nilly with his own fights. If you're willing to train with him at least, that makes his day even better.

opinions on an ace attorney on ice show?

not sure where that came from but hi anon thanks for the question and for giving me something to do while I wait for my luggage xD

as much as I love AA, making an ice show out of something where people spend a good chunk of time standing around and shouting talking is not a very good idea (I could barely stand it in opoi and opoi is an action story sdfgkfg… especially if it comes in the form of the godawful voiceover opoi had), and I don’t really have any good mental casting for it so… not something I’m strongly into lol

Give me Kuroshitsuji on ice all day every day though because aside from the obvious ciel!shoma there’s no day I don’t think about steph in that tailcoat during the foi 2023 opening

But I guess that what my heart truly longs for craves and desires is Saiyuuki on ice (the Minekura version)… shoma would make the perfect goku (down to the big innocent eyes and concentrated power in a small body…), steph can be a slightly very toned down sanzo, dai should absolutely be gojyo and keiji can do hakkai…

shizuka as kanzeon bosatsu…plenty of awesome foes and side characters… lots of fight scenes with magic and interesting weapons which lend themselves to beautiful and creative choreography… infinite potential costume-wise… I am getting misty-eyed just thinking of it GIVE ME A HYOEN-LEVEL PRODUCED SAIYUUKI it would be so so epic 🥲

(edit: forgot MKR for the girls!)

[meimi-haneoka]

Hello there! Apologies for not writing so long. Hope you have been doing fine. I had some important stuff going on in my life and it took some time to return to the fandom. First of all, I am now a chartered archaeologist in my country (I cleared the national public exams for it!) and I now also hold an MPhil! I am looking forward to my predoctoral research fellowship now that it just got confirmed two days ago. It was a roller coaster ride over the past 2-3 months. Not to mention sleeplessness. What is this I hear that there is a new CCS game? And is MKR worth it? I have never watched or read it, so I might get into it once I settle down a bit. I can't wait to go through your posts again. I have been holding of for a bit and now that my workload is pretty much halved, I can indulge myself.

Aubretia!! I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago, like "hmm I haven't seen Aubretia in a while, I hope everything is ok" and then I received your ask!! 😆

Congratulations for your achievements in these months of hard work!! An archeologist, wow!! 😯I hope you will have some time to recuperate your energy!! For the CCS game, yes, "technically" it isn't new because it's a chinese game that was officially released one year ago, but now it seems the international version (translated in several languages) will be available in less than a week!

And yes, I totally recommend Magic Knight Rayearth!! People might think CCS was my introduction to CLAMP, but nope, it was actually MKR! 😆because it was published here in Italy before CCS. I discovered MKR almost at the same time of Sailor Moon, and together with them I also learned what "a manga" was. With MKR you get three lovely girls, big robots, an adventure in what today we call an "isekai" and so many of the thematics dear to CLAMP, including tragedy (looking at some panels here and there I even went "ha! this same thing was re-explored in a different way in Clear Card as well!"). I definitely need to re-read it because it's been soooo damn long since the last time I've touched it.... The anime is also pretty good but I had only seen the censored italian localization at the time, so I have very fuzzy and "incorrect" memories of it. The remake announcement was pretty unexpected but also a bit "in the air" because of the imminent 30th anniversary and the constant "activity" around MKR stuff as of lately! 😉 Let me know how it was if you actually try it, the manga is only 6 volumes total!

[unlimitedsupplies]

IT’S ABOUT TIME

That we have a CLAMP series showdown. Pick your favorite! Pick what you think is the best series! Pick what hitsuzen and Clow Reed are forcing compelling encouraging you to choose!

Tokyo Babylon vs CCS

X vs xxxHolic

Round 6 Finals - One day, and one day only. April 1st

Cardcaptor Sakura vs xxxHolic

More about info under the cut!

Yes the bracket is seeded, mostly in order of what I’ve perceived in terms of popularity over the years and my personal views on the quality of certain series. But hey, sometimes it’s about how much we love something and not how good it is. This is just a poll for fun! If you don’t like it I would love for you to make your own because the more the merrier. Also I left off some little one-shots and famous fanworks for the sake condensing but I’d be happy to make a side-poll redemption round if there’s enough call for it.

3/7 Update

So I uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can’t math well? And miscounted a week somehow. So! We are doing a bonus losers bracket week to fill in the gap. The final for this will be April 1st, along with the vote for the main winner.

Also thanks to everyone for voting! I’m planing on running this again and some other themed polls but will probably start a side-blog to make the updates easier.

3/15 Update

The Losers I mean the Redemption Bracket has been chosen! Choices coordinated for maximum drama ^w^

[umihoshi]

God, that was so much more difficult than I thought it would;;; but here's my anime 3x3!

shows that formed me to be the person I am, the type of writer, the type of artist, the type of thinker. I am as surprised as you that JoJo didn't make the cut ???? but these are the core series from my life and JoJo has been..... very very recent...

They're not in any particular order, just ended up random cuz I kept accidently forgetting to click an empty box, lol

Nobody's boy Remi - I used to cry when I missed an episode on tv TAT I was like 4 or 5 years old, hahah... no clue what anime was yet, but it stuck so strongly with me. the beautiful art, the emotional storytelling. my very first step towards being a fucking weeb =v=

Prince of Tennis - I've done so much art, so much writing, so much meta for Prince of Tennis x_x nothing to awaken the analytical mind than a sport anime. also, the first thing I really got to enjoy without my toxic ex-bestie

Ashita no Nadja - I originally only found like 3 episodes on a German website with no subtitles;; it's so horribly cringy and disney princess vibe, but it brings such warm feelings and memories in my heart. the classic 'orphan girl meets a mysterious masked man who is actually a prince', masked balls, traveling circus, history and culture. these are the type of corny things I want in my oc stories, yes, thank you.

Good witch of the West - a bit overlapping with Ashita no Nadja, but this one strikes a very special cord with me. It's probably the most obscure anime I have in my entire list and I've watched it so so many times.

Hunter x Hunter - it's from a period where I met a lot of my first non-school friends. having cosplayed Leorio and Kuroro more than I can count, and I am very normal about Illumi. I just feel very comfortable and nostalgic with it. and on like the day where I finished the original, the remake was announced, hohohoh~ Also, Hisoka helped along to reel in this clownfucker bestie of mine~~ ;))

D. Gray-Man - this show was an experience for me, man. I've spend like 5 years stuck in OC hell, but I'm still very fond of my little arrogant idiot noah oc, Chrome =3= the Noahs are the best villains in the entire wide world and I will not take criticism.

Glass Mask - relatively less old than the other 8, but it was there in a very important moment of my life. Glass Mask will forever mark the period where I started living on my own. I was so proud of myself how well I was doing without having my parents around all the time. watching a complete anime on full screen in the living room for the first time, what a blessing.

DNAngel - I still see certain resemblances in my artstyle to where I started drawing anime with DNAngel. the soft eyes and the shading is still one of my favorites. and Hiwatari Satoshi is my very first Megane boy~<3

Magic Knight Rayearth - not so much the anime, but the SNES game changed my life forever. My oldest brother had installed an emulator and some roms and MKR was among it. It was my first introduction with 'anime' where I actually learned what anime was, that it was Japanese and that there were MORE series like this wooooow! Until this very day, even after 25 years, I still listen to the name Umi.

series that JUST didn't make the cut: JoJo - Golden Wind Ouran Highschool Host Club Detective Conan Final Fantasy Unlimited Dangan Ronpa Interstella 5555 Pretear

I really like that Sha Wujing can basically have any design someone wants to give him.

Like Wukong? Monkey. Lotta variation there but at the end of the day he’s still a monkey with a big stick.

Zhu Bajie? Usually ends up being a big round pig guy.

Tang? Bald monk. Give ‘em a pretty face and monk robes and you’re set.

But I have seen quite a few different Wujing’s and not a single one of them look even remotely close to another. Big buff Himbo LMK Wujing looks nothing like the Scrawny scholar Wujing from MKR and so on and so forth.

You can basically point to a fish and say “Yeah That’s Wujing.” And you could absolutely be right and I love that.

[tuulikannel]

(For the anime ask game) May I please ask 1, 11, and 30? :)

(the questions)

Of course! Let's see...

1. First anime I ever saw... heh, if Moomins count as anime, I guess it'd be that XD For me and 99.9% of other Finns. I still find it somehow difficult to think about it as an anime, tho (although it's been animated in japan so I guess it technically is).

The first anime I saw (that I knew to be anime) was Magic Knight Rayearth. One day I was just lazying around in my dorm room, watching a tv chat of all things (must have been really bored), and people were talking about this series that'd soon start showing. Tbh, thinking about it, I'm not sure if I really knew it was an anime (did I even know the word anime back then? Questionable) but I thought it sounded interesting so I decided to check it out. Turned out I really liked it and the music in it, and finding translations for the songs was how my interest in Japanese language began. Wouldn't have thought watching a tv chat would have such far reaching effects in my life XD

One of the more dramatic songs from it. Sharing it just cause as it turns out, Megumi Ogata, who has later become my favorite va, voiced also my favorite character in MKR. ^^ I only realized that a few years ago.

11. Hmm. I haven't honestly watched too many anime I would have beforehand thought I might not like ^^; But one that surprised me was Hunter x Hunter. I didn't really know much about it beforehand, I just figured it's some kind of a shounen fighting anime, and wasn't too interested. (I ended up checking it out simply cause one guy whose youtube channel I follow did a reaction series of it.) It's still not one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it quite a lot. It has some really great characters. ...and now I kind of feel like rewatching it... it's been a while.

30. Anime ending I would change... huh. This is a hard question. I honestly can't really think of anything right now (which is probably a good thing, huh XD) I remember being somehow disappointed in the ending of Naoki Urasawa's Monster, but I can't remember anymore exactly why. ^^;; Somehow it didn't live up to the rest of the series, in my eyes? (I really should rewatch/read that too, it's awesome, overall, and it's been way too long.)

...I would not change the ending of Assassination Classroom, but I would absolutely add to it a better ending for Gakushuu's arc. >_>
