So you said that if you had theoretically infinite cash, you'd make a full-scales RWBY game. On that note, if you had to pick an already-existing game (standalone or franchise) to have a collab with RWBY, which would it be, why, and how would it work? I've had brainworms on the topic and they've been craving roommates and/or food.

I think this is cheating but a some sort of Dynasty Warrior collab would be cool specially for that gameplay style. Somehow our heroes end up in the time period where the Great War was happening in Remnant; there’s your excuse for new maps and fighting more enemy types than grimm. Have a special mission that’s the fall of Beacon.

This is also cheating but a collab with almost any Tales Of game. I’m biased to Xillia but I’d listen options. Once again, the franchise’s battle system really leans into multiple characters fighting together and using team attacks. Also many of those games have an endgame location that always ends being some realm in between realities where they add characters from their other games, so getting a collab to show up is pretty easy. There are weirder things in that series than walking through a portal that leads to Remnant.

I’m really thinking in terms of gameplay aesthetic and genre. This one kinda doesn’t make sense but Nier x RWBY would be fulfilling to me in the sense that I would very much like to be RWBY characters in a giant open world where I could run, dash, use my abilities, and snappy fighting. Just thinking about going through the amusement park in Automata as Blake or Weiss feels nice to me.

In the same vein, my brain is going “the cast in a BotW world would be wonderful, but I don’t want BotW gameplay” which annoyingly leads me to think “so Genshin Impact” and the last thing I want is farming for them in a gacha. If ZZZ wasn’t a gacha then I wouldn’t hesitate about the idea of putting RWBY in a game with flashy fast paced combat. Honestly as I’m typing this I’ve come to an interesting thought. If you mixed the some of the structure and mechanics of Zenless with Scarlet Nexus, you’d probably end up with pretty good foundation for a RWBY.

Gaming...

Games I'm currently playing on a semi-regular basis:

Honkai: Star Rail

Destiny 2

Zenless Zone Zero

Games I need to return to that were regulars:

Scarlet Nexus

Baldur's Gate 3

Spiritfarer

Games I need to play again that I played briefly and quite enjoyed:

Sea of Stars

Jedi Fallen Order (I'm stuck on a jump puzzle though)

Transistor (I may be stuck in a room. hahahaha)

Yes, I know ZZZ has only been out for 24 hours. I find it delightful and can see myself playing it more frequently. It's less grindy and labor intensive than I found WuWa to be. (Neither of those gifs are mine)

[little-book-of-me]

My aesthetic is doors to other worlds in a patterned void.

[arctic-hands]

Christ the news was covering that whole "speak to your dead loved ones once again with A.I!" program and my whole world was suddenly bathed in black and white and I saw a floating eyeball and heard Rod Serling narrating the world

[hardcoregamer]

But it's far from the only game with those elements. So, if you love Zenless Zone Zero and want to broaden your horizons, these titles should easily fit your gaming library. The included games aren't ranked since they contain various elements that fans of Zenless Zone Zero may appreciate from combat to design style.

World Boss and Meta Add-On

World Boss and Meta Add-On - This morning I talk about a Guild Wars 2 Add-On that has greatly improved my success in getting on board the Zone Meta trains.

Good Morning Friends. Zone Meta Events are the secret sauce of what makes Guild Wars 2 amazing. For the uninitiated, a “Meta” in Guild Wars 2 language is a zone-wide event that takes place on a reoccurring timer. Some of these are straightforward single-shot world bosses, and others are complicated if/then/else chains that start with minor escort events and end up in giant 80+ player raid fights.…

Under Deepspace 03: Talented Hunter, pt 01-11

01: Order Number 85: FMC is sent on a mission to investigate and resolve a fluctuation in No-Hunt Zone 7, Zone IV, but her partner hasn't arrived.

.

02: No-Hunt Zone No.7: FMC decides to make her way in without her partner. From the ground, she sees Shen Xinghui confronting a Wanderer, and wonders if he's comforting it. It explodes in a blast of light, and Shen Xinghui destroys its protocore. The red collar appears around his neck. He confronts her, and she gets caught in one of his traps while trying to explain herself.

.

03: Reunion Under Moon: After wrapping up her sprained ankle, Shen Xinghui suggests that she leave, as the . He notes that it isn't the Metaflux surges she has to worry about, and that many Tenebrae who go there seeking high-grade protocores to sell are never seen again, once they've obtained them; that the forest itself is alive, and consumed them. FMC tells him not to scare her, but he directs her to leave the forest while he goes off in the opposite direction.

.

04: Maze: FMC considers whether or not Shen Xinghui is her partner. There is some brief comedic back-and-forth where he comes back to check on FMC, he goes out and kills a bunch of Wanderers, he comes back to check on FMC, he goes out and kills a bunch of Wanderers. He tells her he's decided he shouldn't leave an injured teammate behind, but his identity can't be verified by her Hunter's Watch. She wants him to prove who he is. He uses his Evol, and creates a 3D pattern made of several diamonds. He asks if she looks familiar; she tells him it doesn't, and the light flickers. ("Maybe Shen Xinghui was hoping to hear something else.") He tells her to keep an eye out for the pattern, as it can appear on the Flux Nexus, a device that captures Metaflux.

When FMC continues to doubt him, Shen Xinghui drops it; when FMC asks him what a Flux Nexus looks like, wanting to compare his information to Tara's, he uses her words against her and reminds her that nothing he says can be verified, so why would she believe him? But his description of the Flux Nexus matches the description of the stele at the abandoned research base.

.

05: Exit: FMC wonders why she and Shen Xinghui always seem to be trapped together every time they meet. He asks her why she always happens to be around when he's in trouble. They locate the Wanderers causing the spacial irregularities; before FMC can finish her suggestion on how to deal with them, Shen Xinghui has taken care of them.

.

06: Awakened Forest: FMC and Shen Xinghui banter a bit; she wants to know what his deal is, reminding him that he said he'd explain everything the next time they met. He tells her it's a long story, and asks if she really needs to keep her guard up. She says he hasn't been honest, but they can 'work together for now.' They find the Flux Nexus, in the location of a former signal station. FMC realizes that the Metaflux is converging on the Wanderer, which is absorbing it. Shen Xinghui identifies the Wanderer as an Aeonwyrm, and that the Metaflux particles are being used to reconstruct it. Shen Xinghui tries and fails to activate the Flux Nexus, and says FMC should sense its energy and use her Evol to create the same fluctuations. She does so, and the Aeonwyrm evaporates, leaving only a yellow protocore. Shen Xinghui points out that the fluctuations prove that someone wanted to resurrect the Aeonwyrm. Shen Xinghui appears to be very in tune with the forest, claiming that 'it's waking up,' before entering combat.

.

07: COMBAT

.

08: Where Light Vanishes: Shen Xinghui and FMC escape the Wanderers by virtue of Shen Xinghui's Big Leap Trick. Upon inspecting the protocore obtained from the Aeonwyrm, Shen Xinghui explains that it's been modified, and the modification is the work of the organization, Onychinus, which is stationed in the N109 Zone, which carries the infamous achievement of modifying protocores. Shen Xinghui tells FMC that the moon is much brighter, so she'll be safe to head home, while he walks back into the forest on his own. As the camera pans back, there is a shot of a black, quasi-mechanical crow with red lenses for eyes sitting on a branch.*2

.

09: Another Predicament: There is a flashback from the FMC about the attack on Linkon; references to the rusty rain, the ruined streets, and the red moon that slowly blackens, as though it's an eye blinking at her. Coming back to the present,*1 she reminds herself to get in contact with Nero about the eye she saw. She sees Shen Xinghui, in his hunter uniform, being accosted by journalists. ("I don't really have dreams... Also, I'm the only person in my family.") There is mention of complaints that hunters have been destroying public facilities under the pretense of eliminating Wanderers, but when FMC tells Shen Xinghui to beg her to save him, he does. So she does. She notes that it's strange to see him in broad daylight without any disaster surrounding them. Jenna arrives in the office to give them a briefing.

.

10: Invitation: Jenna explains that the protocore has both red and blue protocurves, proving that it's been modified. She calls it 'a gift from Onychinus,' and that they clearly know more about the protocore than they do. She says they'll need to use FMC's Evol to locate and obtain more information. She says Onychinus' goals are unknown, but given Qin Che's track record, it's not about money. She instructs FMC to take the next two days off.

.

11: Selection: Shen Xinghui and FMC eat gross dry bread and discuss the plans going forward; he advises her to not join the project. FMC says she'll take Shen Xinghui as her partner, because his teleporting ability is useful. He reminds her that her Evol might not be the only option, and to keep her options open. ("You might enter a world that's beyond your wildest imagination.") He expresses his worries that she might have just said yes without thinking it over, that she might not be fully informed about any dangers that lie ahead. He was also worried she wouldn't choose him as her partner.

.

.

*1, This event occurs the next morning. *2, In hindsight, we know this is Mephisto.

[perishrad]

don't hunch over

[revvedandrunning]

Own a Gilgamesh for FOB defense, since that's what Creighton The Third intended. Four Ungratefuls break into my perimeter. "What on Hercynia?" As I grab my Utility Drone and Legionnaire Battle Rifle. Blow a D/D 288 sized hole through the first Mordred, it's slagged on the spot. Draw my Stub Cannon on the second mech, it dents it's armor with no effect because it deals 3 Explosive damage and sends a cloud of shrapnel into my Kutuzov piloting lance-mate. I have to resort to the Superheavy Legion Nexus mounted at the top of my shoulder with 20 Legion Drones already deployed, "Harrison Handshake, suckers!" the shot completely misses because the Ungratefuls are using HORUS mechs and the Legion Nexus has Smart, this does not matter as they are swarmed and disassembled by the drones instead. Draw my Superthermal Blade and charge the last terrified Ungrateful. He overstresses a space before reaching his friendly deployment zone, waiting on the reinforcements to arrive since a slagged reactor is impossible to stabilize. Just as the Harrison bloodline intended!

[v-albion]

OK SO

Disclaimer. Steven Universe AU lore. I’m just gonna lore drop about my boys and some basic infos. You gotta wait for the others if they even wanna post it.

DO NOT PRESSURE AND BOTHER THEM

With that out of the way, here’s a timeline

@dianagj-art @intotheelliwoods @less-depresso-more-espresso @tangledinink @bluesgras @teaableu @3lectricinsomnia

So basic info, instead of the Diamonds working together like in SU, here they’re divided into 4 clans/court

Diamond Authority:

Foot Clan —-Red Diamond, Oroku Saki, Lord

Big Mama —- Purple Diamond, Big Mama, Mother, Mama

Draxum —- Pink Diamond, Father, Boss, Commander

Hamatos —- Green Diamond, Splinter, Lou Jitsu (fake form ala rose quartz), Father

Gems call their diamonds Father/Mother or Commander

The timeline is divided into 3 (maybe 4 now) era: Before, During, and After the Gem War, the fourth one is after the invasion and homeworl shenanigans

Kinda s1 big bad is Draxum and s2 big bad is Big Mama

Gem War is when the Red Court (the Foot Clan) led by Oroku Saki attacked the Green Court (the Hamatos). Nearing the end of the War, Oroku Saki gets shattered on Earth. The other Diamonds, (Big Mama and Draxum) corruption beamed the Earth to get rid of the mess, and left Earth to rot. The War ended. The rest of the Foot Clan scattered, some staying in the Homeworld and integrated into the other courts and some snuck away to try and revive Saki. (Guess whats the Shredder gonna be). The Hamatos remnant are roaming the earth in their corrupted forms. Life continued on, Big Mama and Draxums influence grew and took over Hamato and Foot Clan territories

So Cerulean:

● Lee was created on the reef as part of Big Mama’s court. His batch came out really high quality. All of them are distributed to high ranking army commanders.

● Lee was given to a Demantoid Garnet Commander and joined the ship’s crew. There, he learnt about battle strategy and planning, how to distribute armies, how to expand the empire, how to fight and how to defend.

● The Demantoid Commander was shattered by someone Earth. Lee was devastated because said commander was kind enough to him, and even taught him a lot. He kept a few of the Commander’s shards

● Since some of their army still alive, Lee included, they’re all brought back to Homeworld. Most lower ranks were culled. While the higher ranking ones were repurposed.

● Lee was supposed to be shattered too, but he managed to curry favour with one of the higher rank gems (maybe Frida), that gives him a chance to prove himself to BM. He did manage to earn her curiosity.

● Lee became BM’s personal pearl, now basically doubling as her secretary and negotiator. Got preferential treatment most of the time.

Angelo:

● Angelo emerged early post war, perfect in cut and colour ala Jasper in SU.

● After oneion is dicovered as a spy and was rejuvenated by 1D, Angelo took over his spot as a commander while Oneion was bubbled and kept away somewhere.

● During his off time not out conquering planets for the glory of the empire, he frequents the Battle Nexus, now turned to a punishment zone instead of just an entertainment sport. Saying hi to the geminis while they enact their punishment to the traitors

● He also visits and hangs out with Father’s personal weapon maker, a hidden gem called Ronin and his bodyguard Red. Sometimes One even joins them

Getting sent to Earth (listen this lore is developed a few hours ago lmao)

2D was given a chance to redeem himself by Draxum, so he was sent to Earth to check on the remaining corrupted Hamato gems. Lee was sent along to monitor him as a gesture of friendship from Big Mama. 2D and Lee do not get along at all. Their ship malfunctioned (or did it?) and they crashlanded on Earth. After roaming around for a bit, bitching all the while, they were found by Oneion, who was sent to rescue them. Oneion took them to the Avocado Temple, where they met One, Poptart, and Sprout…. Who looked… familiar. Wait. This is Lee’s commander’s shatterer. Lee pulled his weapon out and swung. A fight broke out.

One day Ronin and the now halfway corrupted 1D stumbled into the temple. Ronin snuck out by ship from homeworld and 1D was playing around with a corrupted gem shard so he got infected, they met in the wilderness somewhere

Even if Lee hates Sprouts guts they gotta stay together cause there’s corrupted gems outside and Lee doesnt wanna get shattered. Days passed, and Lee noticed Oneion keeps sneaking out of camp when no one noticed. He followed him and saw that surprise, surprise, Oneion’s reporting to Draxum. There’s a gem in his ship that has a direct line to the Diamonds. The next day Lee asked what did Oneion report and Oneion have no idea what Lee is talking about. Turned out the gold rim around one and oneions gems have a nefarious purpose. Lee called BM from the gem line, and with Draxum there with her during a Diamond meeting, told them everything.

Running away Ronin, theres still some uncorrupted remnants of Hamatos, Oneions betrayal and Sprout shattering his commander, so boom Draxum decided to come to Earth himself

There’s still a ton of other lore for each characters like I said, 10 pages or more now, of combined lore lmao. I might draw the sprout confrontation and the diamond call later, who knows

Thanks for the asks ✨

The Longest Hour

10th Doctor X Reader

Description: The doctor leaves the reader in a time pocket to keep them safe but time moves differently than he thought

The TARDIS thrummed softly, its ancient mechanisms alive with an energy that seemed to mirror the Doctor’s own. He darted around the console with his usual manic grace, his brown trench coat flaring as he flipped switches and pulled levers. You stood near the railing, arms crossed, watching him work.

"Alright, explain this plan to me again," you said, raising an eyebrow.

He spun around to face you, his face alight with enthusiasm. "Simple! Well, simple-ish. The planet Kallenyx is in a bit of a pickle—unstable core, mass tectonic disruption, potentially catastrophic for their civilization."

"So, Tuesday," you replied dryly.

"Exactly!" He pointed at you, grinning. "But here’s the catch: I need to go into the planet's central seismic hub—think of it as the planet’s heart—to stabilize the core manually. It’s dangerous, obviously, but that’s where the fun begins!"

You frowned. "What about me?"

His grin faltered, replaced by a softer, almost guilty expression. He stepped closer, hands finding your shoulders. "That’s the tricky part. I can’t risk bringing you along this time. It’s too unstable, and I won’t—can’t—let anything happen to you."

Your heart sank, but you nodded. "Okay, so where does that leave me?"

He straightened, his eyes gleaming with a new idea. "Ah, here’s the clever bit! I’ll take you to a temporal safe zone—tiny pocket of time where you’ll be completely protected. To you, it’ll feel like only a minute has passed, even if I’m gone for hours. It’s perfect!"

You gave him a skeptical look. "And this...safe zone? You’re absolutely sure it works the way you think it does?"

"Of course!" He hesitated. "Well, probably. Ninety-eight percent sure."

You stared at him.

"Alright, ninety-five percent. But those are good odds!"

Sighing, you relented. "Fine. Just...come back to me, okay?" He cupped your face gently, his voice soft. "Always."

The TARDIS landed with a familiar wheeze, and the Doctor led you out into a breathtaking landscape. The ground was covered in soft, glowing moss that shimmered with each step. The sky above was a swirling canvas of purples and blues, dotted with stars that seemed far too close.

"Welcome to the Temporal Nexus," he announced, spreading his arms wide. "Time moves differently here—a minute for you is an hour out there. Safe, serene, and completely outside of danger."

You looked around, awe mixing with unease. "It’s...beautiful. But are you sure this will work?" He nodded, his confidence returning. "Absolutely. Now, I’ll be back before you even notice I’m gone." You stepped closer, gripping his hand. "Promise me."

His expression softened. "I promise."

With one last kiss to your forehead, he turned and disappeared into the TARDIS, the sound of its engines fading into the distance.

At first, it was fine. Peaceful, even. You wandered through the shimmering landscape, marveling at its strange beauty. The air was crisp, the silence soothing. You tried to focus on the Doctor’s words: Only a minute. He’ll be back before you know it.

But as time dragged on, unease crept in. The silence became oppressive, the stillness unsettling. Minutes felt like hours.

You tried to rationalize it. Maybe he got held up. It’s the Doctor—he always manages to complicate things. But as the hours stretched into what felt like days, doubt and fear began to take hold.

Your throat grew dry, your stomach ached with hunger, and sleep refused to come. The endless expanse of glowing moss and swirling skies offered no comfort, only a cruel reminder of how alone you were.

By the time the TARDIS returned, Days had passed— you were sitting crouched beneath a tree, trembling, cold and dehydrated. When the familiar wheeze and groan of the TARDIS filled the air, you had not strength left to pull yourself to stand and go to your Doctor.

Once landed The Doctor burst out, his face lighting up at the sight of you—until he saw your condition. His expression crumbled, horror and guilt washing over him.

"No," he whispered, rushing to your side. "No, no, no. What happened? This wasn’t supposed to—oh, stupid, stupid me!" He knelt beside you, his hands hovering over your face, his voice shaking. "I thought it was safe. I didn’t know—"

You managed a weak smile, your voice hoarse. "Took your time, didn’t you?"

"Time?" he choked out. "It was only supposed to be an hour! Minutes for you! I didn’t—"

You reached up, brushing your fingers against his cheek. "I know. You didn’t mean to. You were trying to protect me."

His face crumpled further, tears welling in his eyes. "I’m so sorry. I should’ve known. I should’ve checked. I—"

"Doctor," you interrupted gently. "I’m okay now. You’re here."

He didn’t look convinced, but he scooped you into his arms, cradling you as he carried you back to the TARDIS. Inside, he laid you gently on the jump seat, fussing over you like a worried parent.

"Water. You need water," he muttered, rushing to fetch a glass. "And food. And rest—lots of rest."

You watched him through half-lidded eyes, your body too weak to protest as he wrapped you in a blanket and pressed a glass of water to your lips.

I should’ve known," he murmured, mostly to himself. "I thought I was keeping you safe, and instead..."

You reached out, gripping his hand. "It’s okay. You saved the world, didn’t you?"

He shook his head, his voice breaking. "Not if it meant this. Not if it meant hurting you."

"You didn’t hurt me," you said softly. "You were trying to protect me. That’s what matters."

He sat beside you, his head bowed. "I’ll never leave you like that again. Never."

"I know," you whispered, leaning your head against his shoulder.

For a long while, the two of you sat there in silence, the TARDIS humming gently around you. Slowly, the warmth of his presence and the steady rhythm of his hearts began to ease the ache in your chest.

And as the TARDIS drifted through time and space, the Doctor held you close, silently vowing to do better—for you, always for you.

Humans are weird: Do not give them Toys

( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)

When the human government wished to initiate trade with the Filthrax Conglomerate the Filthrax were understandably cautious. They had always been sensitive when it came to sharing technology with other species. To that end they had an extensive amount of restrictions on what could and couldn’t be traded; excluding much of their more advanced technology from ever reaching the market.

The humans in comparison were technologically inferior to the Filthrax in nearly every aspect so they pictured the humans to heavily lobby for advanced technology to be made available. So it was with some surprise that when negotiations began the humans did not lobby for advanced technology, they instead seemed deeply invested in obtaining the Filthrax toys.

This was not something the negotiators had expected. Research into human culture had showed a deep rooted sense of aggression, towards outsiders and themselves when promoted, which made them believe that the first opening bid would be towards military grade technology.

Sensing the discord, the human diplomats explained that while they would like more advanced technology to be an option, they understood the hesitance and reluctance to trade such dangerous items. They said they would be fine earning the Filthrax’s trust over an extended period of time through trade. It seemed that several human enterprises had their eyes on Filthrax toys and they seemed like a safe enough items to begin trade. The Filthrax agreed and so trade lines were opened between the great powers.

What the aliens saw as a harmless deal was in fact the first foot in the door that could never be closed.

Several million orders for toys were placed almost overnight and the economic boon was felt overnight throughout the Filthrax Conglomerate. None of them understood the fascination humans had with their trinkets but if they were willing to pay then they would be more than happy to sell. It wasn’t until the Nexus Wars began that the Filthrax would come to understand their folly.

The “Nexus” was a series of star systems that held the majority of trade lanes between the core worlds and the far flung resource rich outer zones. Trade through these lanes was deemed to be the most stable for long distance transportation so whoever controlled these regions would make considerable wealth from their stewardship.

Current stewardship fell to the Omicron Empire who had held the systems for the last several hundred years and as such used the profits it generated to fund their empires expansion. The humans wished to control these routes to fund their own imperial ambitions but had never leveled the playing field with the Omicron military to make such a transgression possible.

Then, without warning, the human military launched a series of strikes against Omicron bases and fleets in the Nexus systems triggering the “Nexus War”. The Omicrons raised their fleets and armies and dispatched them to the systems with the full intention of repelling the humans and then carrying on their counter offensive into human space. What they met however was a suddenly technologically advanced human military spouting drastic advances in military equipment not seen.

Human soldiers now carried portable shielding units that blocked everything less than a direct hit from a hover tank, while their ships launched fusion bombs carrying a heavy enough payload to shatter Timbar class battleships in half.

With this new technology, the human military had taken control of half of the Nexus systems within five months of the wars start. Other powers dotting the stars took notice of the sudden prowess of the human military, as well as the calculations predicting that within another five months the Omicron Empire would be driven from the Nexus systems. Some cheered at seeing their old rivals in the Omicron’s brought low, others sent delegations to the human government pledging alliances and treaties, many more came to join the war effort now sensing blood amongst the stars; but to the Filthrax, they quickly came to realize the part they had played in this war.

While Filthrax toys were rather unremarkable, they were unique in the way that their power sources could last an entire lifetime. Through controlled energy distribution, the Filthrax had created a rudimentary power source that, while considered basic in their society, was light years ahead of any neighboring species.

The humans were well aware of this feature.

They knew before negotiations even began that the Filthrax would never part with their advanced weaponry or technology, but they would be willing to part with something they considered nothing more than a toy. Toys that were then torn apart to get to the power source, reverse engineered, and then used to power weapons and machines of human design.

Filthrax toys were now forming the basis for a new galactic power, and they had been fooled into giving them away for nothing more than currency.

The sudden realization sent shockwaves through the upper echelons of the Filthrax. If they admitted this they would be not only be publically humiliated on a galactic scale; but also be portrayed as cobelligerents in the war. Not only that, it would invalidate their own standing treaties with other species which specifically stated they would not trade anything that could be repurposed for war. They could see trade agreements torn asunder for a dozen species with even embargos placed upon their territories. Worse yet was if they did cease trading with the humans the human government could release the information and still black list them to the wider galaxy.

So they sat and watched the war from the sidelines, contemplating that their bobbles may have very well just doomed the universe.
