KGB FM SuperCross San Diego

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Zephyr Land Yacht, 1936. Designed for "millionaire" William Woods Plankinton, Jr. by Brooks Stevens. A two-part rig, the trailer pulled by a teardrop-like cab, accommodated six with two staff. The occupants had access to a kitchen, bathroom (with shower) and living room. The chauffeur and cook had bunks. From 1936 on, the yacht regularly carried its owner and his guests across country to and from New York and California.

How do the bug aliens perceive humans? Are we intimidating from their pov or just weird/ugly/cute/mid? Do they have any human stereotypes or jokes?

the bugs are pretty diverse in their exposure to humans - the ones that live and work closely with humans tend to regard them pretty casually: it's been a couple of generations since first contact, they're conceptually used to the idea. there's still some frictions, usually caused by communication issues - that's probably the big one..humans are Weirdly Loud, have to express everything in words (so unwieldy) and completely oblivious to more subtle ways of communicating🙄 there's provably some frustration there, which tends to improve with exposure.

the ones that are less used to humans probably run into these issues more - humans are difficult to talk to, easy to frighten or offend, prone to panic, judgemental, fleshy, tiny, loud, smell weird....

i wish there was a place where able bodied (or differently disabled in my case) people can ask like "hey has anyone like x ever done y in/with z, is it comfortable or realistic to depict someone doing that" because you can't just find anything on the internet anymore

There should be a service where someone comes over and finishes that one impassible level in a video game for you.

So, I've been writing and animated (Not posted yet) a fun little Union X side story series, Following what I call "The Cross Ties Trio" and the rest of the Trio calls "The B Team"

Why are they the B Team? Because that's the team you call in when there's no one else to call in.

Now the three of us (We voice the characters we made for this) ended up watching Wish together.

The ONLY Thing that got us through that film is thinking of how the B team would react to this gosh darn story and how we Kingdom hearts-ed it.

I kinda wanna do an audio book of it or something, but this is the basic plot. (If you want to read it, you can, if not, HAVE FUN SCROLLING!) (Also, should I just write a fan fic and post it on AO3? I really like this story)

First things first, the Cross Ties Trio-

Left to Right - Bumble, Phas and Rainer

Bumble is a very shy and energetic bunny - Keyblade: Devine Rose (Lvl 2) (She uses more Magic abilities and she is speedy)

Phas is Quiet and Collected (Very much vengeful under it all though (Good at hiding it)) - Keyblade: Sleeping Lion (Lvl 2) (He only uses Speed)

Rainer is a Grumpy Grease Monkey with a heart of gold - Keyblade: Fenrir (Lvl 2) (Rainer is slower than the other two in battle, but DOES HE HIT HARD- Mainly an attack user)

One last note about the Trio, this takes place before the Keyblade War! Rainer is the only Dandelion in the group, Phas is Blind (Not 100% he can see better in brighter areas and he can also see hearts (Because they are pure white or for heartless pure black)) Bumble is literally a Bunny in Human form, she can talk to animals.

NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE- TIME FOR THE BASIC WISH PLOT BUT WITH THESE KEY KIDS!

-Wish-

SO- Story wise, in Daybreak Town when the parties in a Union get missions, we imagine they go into like a head office to get them, then they head out. The party is in Leopardus (Rainer used to be in Unicornus, but after a run in with Bumble and Phas, he decided to switch Unions to keep hanging out with them)

Now, they had been getting reports of other wielders going missing in this new world. People would be sent in, only for them to not report back. The office decides to send The B Team, because... Well they normally SOMEHOW survive these kind of missions, WHY NOT!?

The Mission is Simple- Find out what happened to the Missing Wielders and stop it.

The Trio head out to the Kingdom of Rosas. And they end up hopping off the boat with the new arrivals and IMMEDIETLY get sweep up in the opening musical number.

Rainer is grumpy and doesn't like the culty vibes, Bumble is also getting the "Why are they doing this? This seems like they are trying to convince us nothing is wrong here" and isn't Vibing, and Phas is having a fun little panic because- "Why are there CHUNKS of people's hearts missing!? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?"

(Some Wish Lore and I think a LOT of people missed, UM- The wishes are apart of their hearts, so when they give up their wish, they give up a part of their heart- Phas can see hearts, and he can see the pieces missing)

They do end up meeting Asha for a bit before she runs off, and Phas notices the pieces of heart (Wishes) in Magnifico's Tower, as well as they learn about the Wishing Ceremony that will be happening later that day.

After they end up sneaking into the tower during Asha's interview, and seeing the Wish Horde.

During the Ceremony they try to stop it, but get attacked by some guards- Wait- Were those the missing Keyblade Wielders? Pieces of their hearts were missing...

The Trio end up out in the Woods that night, and Asha has her I want song, gets Star and has the "Your a Star" Song happen before she Runs into the Trio. (Bumble has also befriended the Local wild life at this point) They kind of don't think it's a great idea to leave all those wishes there and Phas informs Asha, those Wishes aren't just their Wish, but also a Piece of their Heart. (Asha gets mad and runs off to get her Grandfather's wish)

Following Asha when she tries to get her Grandfather's piece of heart, (Wish) the Trio go with her. But while Asha escapes easily, Magnifico drags the Trio out of their spots and attacks them (Like "WHO IS IN MY TOWER!? Ah. More Wielders They seem to get into places they shouldn't be..." (Understandable)) He does offer the Trio their most deepest desires, or... well... what he thinks is their deepest desires- (He guesses Bumble and Rainers correctly, but Phas' wrong, which makes them realize Magnifico is a fraud) They end up escaping by the skin of their teeth (Bumble down, Rainer next, Phas realizing what's happening, grabs them and escapes.)

The Trio end up hanging out in the woods, trying to figure out the best way to take out Magnifico, but soon find Asha sending her family off on the boat. And decide to team on once more with her, They enter the Kingdom and see the Wishing Ceremony, and again, we get to see the piece of heart (Wish) get given back, but corrupted. (Phas isn't happy)

After that they join for the "Rally the Troops" song- AND THEY SPLIT THE PARTY.

Phas is borderline defenseless in the dark, so he stays with the friends, while Rainer and Bumble go off with Asha in the woods. (Phas can also make sure they get all the Wishes and Bumble has befriended all the animals, (They can help) Rainer goes with Bumble because they think leaving Bumble (A Caster) and Asha (ANOTHER CASTER) alone with Magnifico is a bad idea, so Rainer goes with!)

When Phas realizes that Magnifico is there its kind of too late, and Phas fends off Magnifico so the Friends can escape.

It goes bad.

Then the ending happens, and we have a fun boss fight instead of... SINGING. (Bumble like, heals Phas up, and they fight him (Also the reason Phas didn't notice him originally is because Magnifico was eating wishes left and right, and it confused him, he thought they were just a cluster of wishes, NOT AN ENTIRE DUDE) We also give Asha her wand back, so she can join)

Anyways, the Missing Wielders didn't want to leave because they wanted their wishes granted, then after their piece of heart was taken, they thought they could help the Kingdom, and a lot of them joined the royal guard to help Magnifico.

Rosas becomes like a little resort town for the wielders after, it's very chill there, there's like magic there that fends off Heartless (Thaaaanks Magnifico for protecting you citizens! It does get weaker now that he's gone, SO. Heartless appear and Wielders help)

ANYWAYS- That's another 0% survival rate mission under the B Team's belt! >:D

So, ah- Thoughts? Should I actually write this?
