The Ruins of Michael Swears His Vengeance

by Joruzin featuring IA as Michael, GUMI as the Mysterious Boy/Hook, and Kagamine Len as John's Shadow.

A follow-up to "What Wendy Realized Upon Returning from Neverland" where Michael swears to get revenge for his Sister's death!

The police can find no trace of Wendy's killer after her murder. Michael, knowing it's Peter Pan, readies himself to catch Peter when he comes back! Instead, he meets a mysterious boy who tries to protect him from John's Shadow that's attached to Michael without him knowing.

The Shadow explains that he's already killed Peter Pan and that this guy is Peter Pan's accomplice and collaborator! He must also die so that their revenge for Wendy's murder is complete. The Boy, however, tells the story of the real Peter Pan. That when Peter learned of Wendy's murder, he immediately began to extinguish all light that shadows could come from so that the Shadow could never hunt again! However, by the little light that Tinkerbell still glowed with, the Shadow of John made his way and murdered Peter.

The mysterious boy, who is actually Captain Hook escaped from Neverland, tells the Shadow that he understands and that the shadow can be forgiven since he was just trying to protect his family.

And then Michael stabs hook. Lying on the ground, Hook watches the Shadow and Michael leave for Neverland. He laments that he couldn't stop this tragedy from happening and asks they don't forget him and that his name was James Hook.

In Neverland, we see the real John meet the Pixie Dust created Shadow of Michael. John gives Michael's Shadow his glasses and they announce that they are the 2nd generation now.

There's still no progress with subtitles. This time, I left my base and went on an adventure. When you move away from your usual spot, you discover so many new things. I found pumpkins, watermelons, cocoa beans, and even a village. I'm so happy.

The place where I am seems to be a volcanic area, and I was amazed to see lava flowing down a big mountain, setting the forest on fire one after another. I didn't know Minecraft had such fiery effects.

相変わらず字幕に進展はありません。 今回は、拠点を出て旅に出ました。 いつもの場所から離れると、様々な発見がありますね。 新たにカボチャ、スイカ、カカオ豆を手に入れ、さらに村も発見しました。 嬉しいです。 私がいる場所は、活火山地帯らしく、大きな山から溶岩があふれ出して森を次々と燃やしていく姿には驚きました。 マインクラフトは、こんなにも燃える演出があるんですね。

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1292

first posted in facebook march 25, 2024

tetsuya ishida -- "a man can't fly anymore" (1996)

"the moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it" … peter pan

"at first, it was a self-portrait. i tried to make myself—my weak self, my pitiful self, my anxious self—into a joke or something funny that could be laughed at. it was sometimes seen as a parody or satire referring to contemporary people. as i continued to think about this, i expanded it to include consumers, city-dwellers, workers, and the japanese people" … tetsuya ishida

"… it is, after all, not necessary to fly right into the middle of the sun, but it is necessary to crawl to a clean little spot on earth where the sun sometimes shines and one can warm oneself a little" … franz kafka

"the moment we doubt that we can swim, we sink like a stone to the bottom" … al janik

Masterpost

Niffty

I didn't redesign Niffty all at once, it was more like I would adjust one thing then later decide another thing needed to be adjusted. Anyway, I wanted to lean into the bug theme, which is popular for her and I think it suits her.

Notes under the cut

Ladybug: She was designed with Ladybugs and Asian Lady Beetles in mind, which I think is fairly obvious. Her eye coloring resembles the spots of an eyed ladybug.

Hair: I was doing some studying up on 1950s hairstyles and noticed that there was often this S shaped curve to the bangs. It looks like it evolved from the victory curls and similar styles of the 40s, but softened. I think I managed to do it in a way that kept the overall silhouette similar to canon. And the little curls by her face resemble bug mandibles. And I added little antenna. I changed her hair color to a dark blue because it helped add more visual contrast in her design. That, and it helps allude to the fact that she's Asian-American. I would have gone with Chinese or Korean, but Japanese is the more popular headcanon. But that's only a minor detail. She doesn't have an accent, so I'm pretty sure she was raised in the US. (The picture in the top left on the below image might be AI, something about her face and left hand looks off. I didn't notice until after, sorry. But the hair and figure shape do look accurate to the time period.)

Dress: Circle skirts are an iconic 50s style. And polka dots was a popular pattern. Historically, the skirt would not be shorter than the knee, but we can ignore that in hell. Instead of her neck bandana, I decided on a peter pan style collar. And the bodice should be form fitting, and bullet bras were common. The red part of her skirt is an "overskirt" that doubles as a set of wings. The wings aren't truly functional. A flying Niffty would be a nightmare. But they can show her emotions. They sometimes flutter when she's excited, or droop when she's upset. Via magic logic, they can still behave like fabric too. Mostly so I don't have to think too hard about how they would get in the way.

I played with color variations of orange, pink, and yellow, and even black with red spots. This was the overall combination I liked best.

Human:

We don't really know a whole lot about canon Niffty, so I'm leaving it fairly open. She died at age 22 in the 1950s(mid to late 50s, by the looks of it). Personally, I think she murdered her husband via stabbing. Maybe he was abusive and she just snapped, or maybe something else made her go crazy, I'm not sure. Then she was killed mid-rampage via gunshots to the chest.

[imagionationstation]

the fact that there's no fanart of the 2012 gang and Tinkerbell interacting is insulting to me, like, picture it.

-April and Tink are both voiced by Mae Whitman (except in Peter Pan of course)

-Tink and Donnie bonding over them both being tinkers.

-Tink having a crush on Donnie, and kicking April and pulling her hair because of jealousy, the way she does to Wendy in Peter Pan.

-I can picture Donnie saying something like, "how are we supposed to get up there?" And then Tink covers him in pixie dust and the gang are all baffled as Donnie starts floating.

-Tink and Raph bonding over their tempers.

-Leo having a little tea party with Tink, because Leo had tea parties with Chloe, and Tink had tea Parties with the little girl in the Great fairy rescue movie.

-Tink and Mikey getting into trouble together.

Are you seeing the vision?????

OKAY THIS IS CRIMANAL WHY IS THERE NO FANART OF THIS

This is such a cute idea, actually. So, so hear me out:

Donnie first hears the soung of bells while on patrol and goes to track the random light at the corner of his eyes but finds nothing and the audience sees a flutter of sparkles at the corner of the screen. His brothers tease him for hearing things and they go to the lair and he pouts to his lab and Tinker Bell has been following them this whole time (Four. Talking. Turtles. Who WOULDN'T follow?). Then she ends up exploring his lab and :0000 He's so cool look at all this stuff!!

And then she reveals himself to him and he goes to show his brothers but when they enter the lab Tink is just gone. Then he's frustrated when they leave and Tink reveals herself again 'cause she was hiding bc she's a FAIRY she can't just go around showing herself to EVERYONE she just thinks he's smart and wants to hang with a fellow inventor who uses nothing and makes something.

And so instead of following April around he becomes preoccupied with the tiny fairy in his lab and they learn how to communicate (kinda) and bond and THAT'S when she develops a crush on him because lkdfjgldkfjgld he's so PASSIONATE AND KIND AND SWEET

Then during a mission, she saves him by using her fairy dust and then she HAS to reveal herself because now his brothers think his delulu is spreading because THAT'S NOT THE NORM???

And then after she reveals herself to everyone, they do bonding things and silliness all around and Splinter is just kinda like "cool a kodama (Japanese tree spirit) is in my home why not" and Tink has met the parent and everyone knows what they say about getting introduced to the parent and then April enters the picture and Tink is no longer Donnie's fascination and she DOES NOT like that no sir

But since she's a fairy and talks through bells, she can't TELL HIM why it is that she's annoyed. She just IS and she's randomly really, really, aggressive to April which baffles EVERYONE because she's been so friendly and sweet the whole time so-

Japanese Ruikasa AU's: A Comprehensive (?) Guide

There are a lot of Rui/Tsukasa AU’s 類司 (派生/derivation or パロ/parody, or both sometimes) in the Japanese fandom, this is a showcase of almost all of them.

A note that the order of names in the ship matters a LOT in fandom spaces in the eastern side, you’ll often, if not always, find artists’ socials with 🎈🌟左右固定 or 🎈🌟🔄❌ in their bio or in their profile cards. All will be in Rui/Tsukasa order here. Listed in romanized alphabetical order.

Rui and Tsukasa need no introduction if you are already familiar with this game, but if you aren't, Rui and Tsukasa are characters from the rhythm game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage ft. Hatsune Miku (Brand New Your World). They’re from the Unit WonderlandsxShowtime, members of a freelance theater troupe with the goal of bringing smiles to the entire world with their performances. They’re also classmates and are often referred to by their classmates as the “Oddball 1, 2 Finish” (or “Weirdo Wombo Combo” as the official English localization goes) because they are a pair of show-passionate weirdos. They’ve also blown up a few things at their school more than once but that’s another story! We continue with the actual AU's!

DanToru・団トル

団長・トルペ Danchou/Torpe

From Rui and Tsukasa's gacha cards and play Wandasho made on Tsukasa's focus event On the Stage of Dazzling Light. In the event's play, Danchou (Rui) is a Band Leader (translation of Danchou) from an orchestra who saw potential in Torpe (Tsukasa), a pianist that had issues showcasing his piano skills in front of others.

GakuKo・学コ

学者・コック Gakusha/Kokku・Scholar/Chef

From Rui and Tsukasa's shop cards in Emu's focus event Our Happy Ending. I've seen this AU being called “RPG” or “Kirapika” on the western side.

GalaPie・ギャラピエ

ギャラクシー・ピエロ Galaxy/Piero・Galaxy/Pierrot

From Rui's trained Colorfes Endless Imagination and Challenges and Tsukasa's trained gacha card, A Phoenix Seen in Those Blurry Eyes, from his focus event Towards the Phoenix at the Sky's Edge. Using "Galaxy" to refer to Colorfes Rui comes from his card's costume name, Galaxy Dark Suit. Sometimes also called GalaKura・ギャラクラ (Galaxy/Clown).

GashaKori・がしゃこり

ガシャドクロ・狐狸 Gashadokuro/Kori

From Rui and Tsukasa's trained gacha cards on Rui's focus event A Once-In-A-Lifetime Pandemonium!? Referred usually as “Yokai” on the western side.

GunHina・軍雛

軍師・雛 Gunshi/Hina

From Rui's trained gacha card Twilight's Brilliance from his focus event Heat Up! Kamiyama High Cheering Squad! and Tsukasa's trained gacha card Big Brother's Agony from Saki's focus event The Tenma Household's Hinamatsuri. Referred usually as “Tactihina” on the western side.

GunRyuu・軍龍

軍師・龍神 Gunshi/Ryuujin

From Rui's trained gacha card Twilight's Brilliance from his focus event Heat Up! Kamiyama High Cheering Squad! and Tsukasa's trained gacha card Man of the Joyous New Year from his focus event A Brand New Year! Lion Dance Robot's New Year's Show!. Referred usually as “Tactiqilin” on the western side.

HakaPega・博ペガ

博士・ペガサス Hakase/Pegasus

From Rui and Tsukasa's characters on Petit SEKAI #2 "Fight! Neneger V". Rui plays as Ruidouji Hakase (類道寺博士・Professor Ruidouji) and Tsukasa plays as Pegasus The Shining (ペガサス・ザ・シャイニング). Despite its silly beginnings, most works I've seen regarding this AU are filled with angst.

JohnWen・ジョンウェン

ジョン・ウェンディ John/Wendy

From Rui's trained gacha card and Tsukasa's shop card in Emu's focus event Amidst a Dream, Towards the Shining Stars. Their names come from the famous fanon interpretations about the characters they're representing from "Peter Pan" in their trained cards.

KaiHami・海ハミ

海賊・ハミングバード Kaizoku/Hummingbird・Pirate/Hummingbird

One of the original AU's that I still see sometimes. Both of these come from outfits, Rui comes from April 2021 Mission Pass Men's Outfit titled “Elegant Pirates” and Tsukasa comes from 2021 Half-Anniversary Limited Outfit titled “Hummingbird”.

KaiRomi・怪ロミ

怪盗・ロミオ Kaitou/Romeo・Phantom Thief/Romeo

Another OG. Rui comes from a July 2021 Mission Pass Men's Outfit titled “Phantom Thief” and Tsukasa comes from his trained gacha card I'm the Leading Actor! from Mizuki's focus event KAMIKOU FESTIVAL!. He's called ‘Romeo’ because he plays the role of Romeo in a Romeo and Juliet inspired battle royale play. I've seen it called PhantomRomi on the western side like. once.

KemoKemo・ケモケモ

ケモ・ケモ Kemo/Kemo

Can also just be called ケモ (Kemo). From Rui and Tsukasa's shop cards in Shiho's focus event Resounding Twilight Parade.

KuroShiro Yuri・黒白百合

黒百合・白百合 Kuroyuri/Shirayuri・Black Lily/White Lily

From Rui's trained gacha card The Words Thrown at Me from Mafuyu's focus event At This Festival Tinged With Twilight and Tsukasa's trained gacha card Backstage Encouragement from Minori's focus event Scramble Fan FESTA!

A tiny note: 黒白 is read as "kuroshiro", but 白百合 is read as "shirayuri".

MadoShuva・マドシュヴァ

マッド ソーサラー・シュヴァリエ Mad Sorcerer/Chevalier

From Rui's trained gacha card An Abrupt Ordeal from Touya's focus event Never Give Up Cooking! and Tsukasa's trained gacha card **A **Sudden Trouble Meeting!? from his focus event The Gentleman Thief's Thrilling White Day!? Referred usually as “Sorcevalier” on the western side, an interesting switch up from the Japanese version.

Mahou Gakuen・魔法学園

Magic Academy.

Sometimes called 魔法学校 (Mahou Gakou) Magic School. Both come from 2023 2.5 Anniversary Limited Outfit titled “Magic Academy of Sekai”.

NikoEri・にこエリ

にこやかな悪魔・エリート悪魔 Nikoyaka na Akuma/Elite Akuma・Smiling Devil/Elite Devil

This is very specific. The names come from the characters Rui and Tsukasa play in their performance in At This Festival Tinged With Twilight's event. Rui plays the "Smiling Devil" and Tsukasa plays the "Elite Devil". Rui here is using the March 2023 Mission Pass Men's Outfit titled "Devil move heart" and Tsukasa uses November 2021 Mission Pass Men's Outfit titled “EVIL ONE” because I've seen them represented with both outfits. Mostly “EVIL ONE”.

RozeOu・ロゼ王

ロゼ・王 Roze/Ou・Rose/King

From Rui's trained gacha card Fantastic Planner from Touya's focus event A Song of Vows for You, Dressed in Pure White! and Tsukasa's trained gacha card The Outcome of a Choice from his focus event Wonder Magical Showtime!

Cyber・サイバー

From Rui's trained gacha card and Tsukasa's shop card in Rui's focus event Backlight Lens Flare. The name is a short form of the event's commisioned song, サイバーパンクデッドボーイ (CYBERPUNK DEAD BOY)

SanShou・参将

参謀・将校 Sanbou/Shoukou・Staff Officer/Officer

From Rui's trained gacha card and Tsukasa's shop card in Rui's focus event Revival my dream. 将校 (Shoukou) can be Officer or General, no official translation.

ShiraNaka・白中

白藤・中山 Shirafuji/Nakayama

I'm using Rui and Tsukasa's trained gacha cards on Tsukasa's focus event A Story Where You Are The Star, since this AU came from there. In the event's play, Nakayama (Tsukasa) is interpreted as a cynical and spiteful editor, Shirafuji (Rui) just works at a bookstore.

I can't find the fanart that started it all, but this one by HIA portrays the most used fanon rendition of them.

ShoKoma・書狛

書生・狛犬 Shosei/Komainu・Scholar/Guardian Lion-Dog.

Both of these, again, come from outfits. Rui comes from September 2022 Mission Pass Men's Outfit titled “Kaisetan” and Tsukasa comes from November 2022 Mission Pass Men's Outfit titled “Divine Messenger”.

Uchuujin・宇宙人

Aliens.

From Rui's shop card and Tsukasa's trained gacha card in Emu's focus event perspective for smile.
