okay, some more nero details.

i would love to know just how long weiss was dead for. because with this next bit...

... weiss probably died while doing an SND and nero just kept it connected hoping he'd come back.

given that it's aso stated he died prior to the doors opening, and nero's plan was already well under way when at finally kicked off, he was dead for a while. probably not the full three years before the start of the game - the deepground civil war went on for a while - but months and months before those doors finally opened.

it's possible that hojo wasn't in the picture at all until the WRO started getting the network back online. weiss could've dived into a dead network, and the moment it flickered back on, hojo saw an opportunity.

i think nero just stopped functioning. went into a deep denial, assumed command of deepground to keep things running and then just spun his wheels. he ordered the deepgrounders to continue working on digging their way out, because that was most likely the last order he had from his brother - get everyone out.

but nero himself had no intention of leaving. he would have locked in place because weiss is dead and does not know what to do with that. he's probably a-okay to stay down there with his corpse forever, quasimodo style.

the more i think about it, the more likely i think it is that hojo didn't actually have control of the body during first contact... weiss was already dead.

he just came across' weiss' consciousness which... was still present but was inactive because his body had died. caught in limbo between lifestream and living. and just pretended to be weiss by making contact through a different way. like - he just communicated with nero through text. or maybe grabbed the avatar AI of data weiss and presented himself to nero that way. told nero how to store the body to keep decay at a minimum and just insisted that he was weiss and he found the solution, he was just stuck in the network until his body lived again. and it just so happened he found the secret of rebirth, so now was the time for action.

so nero went from quietly mourning to reverently chasing this lie.

since... the network was most likely offline due to meteorfall. hojo didn't need an external network.

we see weiss on the throne but i think it's probably pretty likely nero had his body stored in a stasis or life support pod, like what lucrecia put vincent in.

Hi, Tin! I love your writing and I have a prompt for you, if you are interested) what if Tang family is too afraid of Tang Bo leaving permanently and eloping with Cheong Myeong? So they initiate marriage negotiations with Mount Hua. It can be angst (CM is socially isolated and insecure about his position) or romantic comedy (awkward situations and protective Cheong Mun), up to you). Thank you in advance!

It was a well-established fact that the Dark Saint of the Tang Family was one of their generation's best.

So it came as no surprise when an influx of marriage proposals flooded their family's estate—because rumors started flying around that the Dark Saint was in search of a partner.

The Dark Saint held a reputation for being cold and ruthless. To cultivators and martial artists, he was someone they feared making into an enemy due to his sheer battle prowess and poisonous abilities. To normal civilians, he was a genius who wielded the Tang Family's techniques with cool precision and intent; to them, he was just another mysterious cultivator that they would only ever know of through gossip and stories.

However, in recent years, something shifted. His reputation among common folk was slowly altered. It started off with a supposed battle between him and the Plum Blossom Sword Saint which turned into a sudden and unexpected friendship.

Whereas in the past the Dark Saint would only go around Sichuan and closeby villages, he was now found going around different major cities and unknown ones.

He was often in the company of Mount Hua's Plum Blossom Sword Saint, who worked with him side-by-side to eradicate groups from the Demonic Cult and the occasional bandits and thieves.

For supposed Taoists, the two visited different establishments to drink alcohol and talk cheerily. It was during one of these moments that the first rumor began its spark.

"Ahhhh," The Plum Blossom Sword Saint groans in satisfaction. "That sure hits the spot!"

The Dark Saint chuckles as he tosses back his own drink. "If only I could enjoy everyday like this. Alcohol really is the best."

"What would your future wife think?" The Plum Blossom Sword Saint jokingly and dramatically shakes his head in disappointment. "To have a husband who loves alcohol more than his own wife...!"

The Dark Saint wiggles his eyebrows suggestively. "Trust me, I would make sure that my wife knows full-well just how much I love them."

The two of them share a silent, private conversation with just their eyes alone, that none of the other restaurant's customers could decipher, before they leave a generous tip and went on their way.

It snowballs from there.

All of a sudden gossip went around about the Dark Saint's interest in finding a wife. And so several people came to the same conclusion.

The reason why the Dark Saint is travelling around more than usual is because he's looking for a prospective wife.

Clearly, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint was there to provide moral support. How truly admirable and strong their brotherhood must be!

On the other hand, the head of the Tang Family was fully aware of their Dark Saint's single-minded interest in Mount Hua's Chung Myung.

Seeing all the stacks of letters that ranged from proposing strategic alliances and general marriage offers brought the current head of the Tang Family to a very different conclusion.

Tang Bo was trying to slowly draw himself away from their family by leaving their estate. He might be on the hunt, jumping from village to village, trying to create a dowry befitting for the hand of the Plum Blossom Sword Saint and scouting out all the best locations to settle down in.

It really wouldn't be too surprising of an idea if one day a letter turns up from the man with an intent of permanently moving to Mount Hua or some backwater village.

The Tang Family head shakes the thought of losing one of their best and genius members to one of the Ten Great Sects. If he wanted to maintain their family's reputation, he'll need to strike the first move.

And so he begins to pen a decisive letter to the Sect Leader of Mount Hua.

%%%

Chung Mun's hands tremble as reads the letter sent to him by the Tang Family.

'Who did they think they were?' He would have bit out if he had any less self-restraint. The paper crumples in his grip and he receives a questioning glance from Chung Myung who was sprawled eating mooncakes on the opposite side of his desk.

"What's got you so worked up?" The subject of the letter askswithout a care.

Chung Mun takes a deep breath. "The Tang Family wishes for you to transfer into their estate."

He refuses to say out loud the marriage proposal that came along with this request. His Chung Myung was too young! The man might be a sixty years old, but that round face, cheeks carelessly bulging with mooncakes with crumbs littered on his chin, screamed too young for marriage!

"Oh." Chung Myung nods in understanding.

Chung Mun is glad that Chung Myung agrees that this was nonsensical. To think, they thought that Chung Myung would even leave Mount Hua for—

"After the war is over, Tang Bo and I were planning to be roommates and travel the world a bit."

—?????

"Roommates?" Chung Mun's voices comes out slightly strangled.

"Yup. It's going to be great."

"No."

"'No'?"

Chung Mun tries to run through his previous conversations with Tang Bo. He knew that the man was capable of being underhanded, but he was also well-aware that Tang Bo respected him enough to not blind-side him with something like this. Especially since it concerned Chung Myung.

...

...Oh no.

"Fuck." Chung Mun says, full of feeling as he recalls Tang Bo off-handedly asking permission to live together with Chung Myung in the future.

"...Sect Leader?"

Chung Mun had thought that was a joke! He thought Tang Bo wasn't being serious! They were talking with alcohol in their systems!

The alarmed look that crosses Chung Myung's face informed Chung Mun that the way he felt his blood drain from his face was a visible, physical reaction.

"He asked for your hand in marriage." Chung Mun says faintly. "I said yes."

Chung Myung blinked at him. "Yeah? He told me?"

Okay. Tang Bo, to his credit, hasn't been leaving Chung Myung in the dark at least.

If Chung Myung knows and isn't reacting violently that means that he isn't completely against this. Even if Chung Mun was, he had to reorganize his priorties.

And his number one would be to make sure Chung Myung was happy.

((And to make sure that the Tang Family doesn't think they can step on Chung Mun and pull his little brother away.))

"I'll have to recheck the sect's budget and my own savings to make sure we have enough for the wedding preparations..." Chung Mun mutters as he begins drafting a response to the Tang Family with what he thought were better marriage agreement conditions.

But then, a flash of dread causes Chung Mun to pause writing and leave a dark ink blot on the paper. He suspected, but he really wishes that he was wrong—!

"Huh?" Chung Myung gives Chung Mun a confused look. "We already got married though?"

honestly if infinite sent Eggman a sonadow file in that one Twitter takeover, I think that implies infinite on the internet far more than the average individual

[ID: two in-universe drawings from two different orphan children talking about their heros. The first one is by Ann Gray, who's eight years old. She drew a surprisingly decent photo of Batman in front of a yellow background and wrote, ‘My hero — Batman. He is strong and fierce and he can beat anyone. He is very tall. He wears a cool suit with a bat on. He is not afrade of bullits and he saved my life (true). No one nows his reel name or address. the biggist crinminel in all the world could not make him sorender. Batman keeps gothum city safe for everyone and pets.’

The second drawing is by Zachary Sikes who's 12 and a half years old. He drew a photo of Superman using his heat vision as he flies. He wrote, ‘My Hero — Superman. My hero is Superman. He is able to fly and I have seen him lift up a car (with 2 peeple in it). If you hit him in the face then he will just laff. Every one likes him and he saved my life once. The big S on his shirt is for his name (Superman). He lives in Metroplis (where I used to life also). He keeps everything there in law and order.’ END ID]

After so long...

[billiethekig]

Where did you get your hadatai? As someone new to kigurumi, I am having a difficult time figuring out which sellers are legit

I got my first hadatai from MunimuniWorks, from Japan. They have a couple of different options. One is a full bodysuit and the other is a half-suit which I purchased. These are pre-made suits so you have to go by the size measurements on their website. Just so you know, these don't come with boob pockets, but since I'm kigging guy characters (for now at least) I don't need them. YMMV

I also have a custom full-body hadatai from Moli's Lab/InTheMask ( China), which I ordered just before they launched BlackCatKig. They have a lot of options for zentai & hadatai on their site but I went with the Skinsuit 2

I liked the level of customization they offer. It really is a lot, and if you need to have a bosom, this is the way to go. You put in your order with whatever customizations you want, and after you pay, you fill out a form with your measurements. Turnaround time was less than a month when I ordered.

They also have hadatai available on their kigu website BlackCatKig. I believe they have some pre-made hadatai as well. These are exactly the same as what they offer on the InTheMask site.

I recently decided to get a pre-made hadatai from GKO (Taiwan), to see what it's like. This is supposed to get delivered sometime next week.

I'm lucky in that these premade ones seem to fit my body fairly well. (So far.) But all of these sites are legit. Good luck! I hope you find your perfect hadatai!

EDIT: the hadatai arrived today! I did get a Small because that's what their measurements said would fit my body. Granted, I am in the upper end of their suggested measurements. I was able to put it on, but I will say that the fit was a little tight lol, especially with the shapewear i was using. I was wearing a new compression undershirt because all my normal gear was in the wash.

I tend to overheat easily when in full bodysuits so I don't use them very often, but most hadatai are only the full bodysuit style with the zipper in the back, so for the sake of completion, I wanted to try GKO out.

I do like the color of the suit along with the material. I imagine their custom hadatai would be a great investment but for the price, I'd rather order another one from inthemask/BCK, as they are faster and cheaper.

okay things i have learned tonight:

nero has a battle line in the ps2 that I never heard before and it breaks my heart.

nero: he is my light. nero: do you know what it is like to live your whole life buried in darkness?

also with the retexture pack, it's a lot easier to see the details in his darkness. there's... lava.

lava literally just flowing from random rocks.

ancient architecture? like random pillars.

and those nails that he's impaled on in deepground. there are more in his void, and where they pierce stone - the stone has a stream of fresh water running from it?

what the fuck does that mean.

i have so many questions about what this form is for nero. the eyes are golden now - chaos' eyes are golden - is this nero coming fully into what he is? becoming more summon/weapon than human?

i thought originally nero was hauling his soul from his body, but in reality I think nero was probably fine. he was just. tired.

so he decided to die and merge with weiss so he could chase out hojo's soul. and they could end the planet together because what else do they have to live for?

also

weiss' smile is so fucking soft here and

the next expressions he makes are just... despair. what the fuck my heart.

we know the brothers opt to ascend anyway because it's the only way they see out of a lifetime of suffering.

This is better(?) than the minimalism plague infecting modern web design, but not by much!

I do not like the mobile appification of web sites either! Looking at you as well, tumblr! By all means, get experimental with it (please do), but don't make everything look & function like a mobile app!

Hey, all supposed 34,175+ followers...

Can you do me a favor & go @ (or tag) Neal Mohan on twitter & tell him to have the YouTube video page layout changed back? I'm so serious, go bother him about it. If enough people do this & this gets around enough, resulting in more people to asking it be rolled back, it should at least get him to ask it to be changed!

// I swear this playlist gets darker and darker and it all depends where Hunter takes their path. And he only has two Verses that is more happy but the other is pretty much his own nightmare.

Really this playlist can make me feel and go into darker subjects and I love that when I was afraid to dive into dark themes and I'm glad I gave it a try. It's honestly fun.
