#my kamen rider geats obsession knows no end

[ghosthouses27]

Back on my Kamen Rider/QSMP AU

(I haven't been this into a fandom in a while, so excuse my rambling)

[minor spoils for KR Geats btw)

The basic plot of this AU is based off of KR Geats with QSMP characters:

People have been drafted into a Hunger Games-like competition where you become a Kamen Rider, are dropped into the arena (the city), and have to fight off Jyamato (basically plant-zombie-squid like things)

Each round is a different game, like a basic pvp round or, for some reason, basketball, and whoever racks up the most points by the end wins.

The winner is granted a wish to reform the world as they desire.

Quackity is Ukiyo Ace, the superstar celebrity with an arrogant, suave attitude who has won the tournament before and has an overly complicated backstory that involves being 2000 years old and the son of God

Cellbit is Azuma Michinaga, the "bull-headed" construction worker who has an old rivalry with Ace and believes that violence and murder is the answer to everything (sidenote: also has incredibly attractive hair)

Charlie Slimecicle is Sakurai Keiwa, a determined, but naively optimistic guy who fails every job application and is slowly broken into an goth, biker gang leader by the end of the series

Jaiden is Kurama Neon, the bright online streamer who originally wishes to find love, but realizes she just desperately needs friends and therapy, and isn't actually a real human (literally, she's made from a wish by a sponsor of the tournament)

Cucurucho is Hareruya Win (aka PunkJack), a staff member of the tournament who is originally a minor villain, but eventually becomes an ally of the Riders

There's also like, a thousand other random Riders that the rest of the QSMP can fill in when needed lol

I only have a single idea for certain scenes based on the series, also there's like 48 episodes and a few movies and a "hyperbattle dvd" so...

Anyways, there's a plot point in episode 40 where Keiwa's sister gets turned into a zombie and gets killed by Michinaga, who obviously didn't know it was Keiwa's sister, and it kickstarts Keiwa's emo arc

In this AU, either Juanaflippa or Mariana gets turned into a zombie and killed by another Rider (either Juanaflippa by Mariana or Mariana by Cellbit) and starts Charlie's decent into emo madness

That's basically it, I just need to get this out :')

Got tagged by @mimosaeyes for fic authors self-rec. Postin' five of my favourite fics, and I'll see if I will tag people. Tried to go through different fandoms for this one.

Flight of Crows which is an Etsusa Bridge fic. This one I cannot really "rec" to jump into but I do wanna mention this because. The EB EU is incredibly important to me, and had been working on this mostly with Jamie for a long ass time at this point. Flight of Crows is a culmination of the Caw Caw! Birds' Wild Nights arc, wrapping up multiple things and setting up future threads. Very OC heavy, but I feel like. This was definitely a point in the EU where the status quo irreversibly changed. Which was a scary thing to do, changing the status quo from how the light novels themselves ended, but it was needed.

find me in the mirror across the maze is a DMBJ fic, more specifically takes place in Sha Hai era. But also Liu Sang heavy. I don't always write multichapter, but this was one of those times. This is an AU where Liu Sang and Wang Can are twins (nothing new so far), but also descendants of Er Yue Hong. And as shenanigans happen, Chen Pi ends up mentioring Liu Sang, while Wang Can, obviously, is taken in by the Wangs. What follows are a series of events, one of the twins impersonating the other, Liu Sang, Yin Nanfeng and Liang Wan competing for Zhang Rishan's affections (they all win), and Huo Daofu getting swept up in it. As one of the three Chen Pi fans in the fandom I had a lot of fun writing him as Liu Sang's shifu, and Liu Sang's personality changing as a result. Had a lot of fan plotting this out and writing it.

The Case Files of the Desire Agency is a Kamen Rider Geats fic, and I obviously had to bring out this one. One of the other few multichapters I had written. This one is an AU, so you can even read it, frankly, if you don't know Geats. This is a vampire AU, based on Narita Ryohgo's light novels titled Vamp!. This is foremost a mystery story where the greatest challenge was - how not to exposition dump too much.

have i lost myself or have i gained you is a Yugioh VRAINS fic. I have written a LOT of fix-its for VRAINS and it was hard to pick only one, but I guess I had to pick that one because this was truly a special one for me. I never really played with a Yusaku-Lightning dynamic before and it was fascinating, especially to play with a Yusaku this messed up. I really liked to work on this and writing it.

build myself a wall of unhappy hearts is a Kamen Rider Revice fic, and the third in a series of mine, so while I am shilling basically this fic, it won't be understandable without the two beforehand. This fic series started with me being obsessed with Olteca/Hiromi after Battle Familia, and then George climbed into this relationship. The first fic of this series was Hiromi's POV and the second was George's, and I was terrified of writing the third one from Olteca's, and I knew that if I fumble this, what I wanted to get across would not work. Thankfully, I feel like it did, and as afraid I was, now Makoto doesn't let out the POV from his hands. I need to get back to this series. But this part, especially, is very special to me and I am proud of how I landed the initial "arc" of this story.

Just finished: Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger: Also saw in a group watch. I am very fond of this one. What a time and what a show. This one gave me more brainworms than I originally saw coming.

Having seen both this and Faiz now, its unreal to think about how these two shows made up the first Super Hero Time block. Wild.

Currently reading: I'm beginning to read the first volume of X-Gender by Asuka Miyazaki!

Current obsession: Deep in the tokusatsu hole, with no end in sight. (Leijiverse brainworms are also always present too.)

other stuff i watched this year: A Silent voice, Kemono no Souja Erin, other miscellaneous anime lol

shows i dropped this year/didn’t finish: kingohger (sorry! i know everyone loves it but after Racules died, i kinda lost interest. I have accepted it's just not for me). I also didn't finish Kamen Rider Geats. Maybe i will go back and finish them both, but rn, i have other stuff i wanna watch.

currently reading: Natsume Yuujinchou Manga, some non fiction books and articles- currently on How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Want to be in the right headspace to read Madame Putiphar someday.

currently listening to : i can't do podcasts or audio books so don't really listen to things generally. i am however slowly making my way through Jules Gill Peterson's discussion on trans children. She's great tbh, definitely recommend.

currently working on: i have grand ideas for a, well, idk. i'm calling it a rebuilding fic as a working title. i'm obsessed with looking at people picking up the pieces at the death of an Empire and what happens and what changes. i still need to do more research for it though and am reading books and articles for that.

current obsession: still have pirate polycule brainworms, sorry anyone if you're still following me for les mis, maybe i'll come back to it someday but rn i'm still obsessed with pirate blorbos. In my defense they are very good blorbos. Also if anyone is looking for more pirate media to watch, please watch them and then come yell at me.

I really did that Baccano+Kamen Rider text post thing because I really cannot stop thinking of this quote when it comes to the Geats OT4

“I can't bring myself to trust you. But even if you were to betray me, and even if you were to become my enemy... would it be okay for me to love? Could you... let me love you?”

Listen. Listen.

Little earlier in the same scene in the same book:

"I don't trust you." [...] "...yeah. That's all right." "I'm going to use you for my own ends. That's not going to change." "Yeah." [...] "But even still… is it all right if I could love you?"

(I coloured who's speaking when because without the descriptions and internal parts it's hard to say who is saying what.)

I'm obsessed. For me the OT4 is the best where they know they can't trust each other - they might give over a bit of trust, but they yank it back at the first opportunity. No unconditional trust. It shouldn't work, and maybe it wouldn't, but honestly, the disaster is what makes them so entertaining.

Let them all mutually use each other, mutually distrust each other, and still be in love, is my point

(Takahashi please put my OT4 back in the same general area I beg, I'm starving.)

(Even if Michinaga will continue trying to maim Ace with a chainsaw, that's a feature, not a bug, with them. Also I miss Michinaga-Keiwa interactions.)

This is where the "similarities" between that Baccano couple and the Geats OT4 start and end, (even though I did give another quote about one of them to Michinaga in the pic set, they are... unhinged in very different ways let's just put it this way) but this simple scene is absolutely in my brain and I keep applying it to the Geats OT4 don't even mind me, really
