#ps!void

[psychicthepsychic-daily]

i should clarify that PS!Psychic is very uncharismatic. he is not good at flirting by any means. his rizz is at 0, but he’s very slightly better off than canon Psychic because canon Psychic’s rizz is in the negatives. neither of them are good at charming people.

PS!Void is actually only very slightly less charismatic than canon Void… when he has the will to use it. most of the time he’s too burnt out and bitter to charm people. but PS!Void is still extremely good at talking to others and that actually factors into his resentment for PS!Psychic and why he thinks he would be better as a celebrity.

Apologies AU - Good Ending Drop

Hey, everyone. It was my goal to finish Apologies in tandem with the Tournament, but for health reasons, I won't be able to as I planned. Because I tied the story to the tournament and don't feel like untangling it again and making everyone wait more, I'm going to give you all the ending spoilers, as I promised I would if I became unable to finish the story.

What I'm about to describe is THE Good Ending. The True Ending I had planned out almost from the beginning!

-

In the main-verse...

Susie, who sees too much of herself in Adeleine, decides to take matters into her own hands to bring the girl's older brother back.

She takes the vial of Dark Matter Swordsman DNA that was harvested from King Dedede. Meta Knight catches up with her and argues against it. It's foolish, dangerous, and liable to be nothing but painful to all parties involved. But Susie anticipated interference and asked Zan to bodyguard her. When Zan arrives (late) to the lab, the argument has caused the vial to begin to react to all the negativity in the room. Zan recognizes its contents as Dark Matter and insists on calling Lord Hyness, who in his own quirky way, analyzes their problem and suggests that while the contents are too weak to survive on their own, a resurrection could be possible, using Void's powers to mimic a hive queen, supplying whatever creature emerges the power to survive on Popstar without burning up into ash...

In the tourney-verse...

White-Haired Noir is at peace with his life and has come to accept the death of his precious little sister many years ago, but...a part of him still wishes to make Adeleine happy.

Using his fairy-born dimension sight, he discovers an Alternate Noir who is 98% percent compatible with main-verse Noir. This is the Purgatory!Noir from the Re_Birthday post. And he drags this unstable, utterly��clueless Noir out of this peaceful void without his permission and secretly "volunteers"  the massively confused, un-alive but un-dead teen boy for the Kirby OC Tournament.

It is White-Haired Noir that is the "good" voice on phone and in Noir's head, encouraging rationality. His goal? Get Noir some friends. Get him to face up to/open up to people about his past. And get him caring about his life enough that he wants to live...! 

White-Haired Noir has seen what the main-verse Star Allies are attempting and knows that the odds of them actually bringing "Noir" back instead of just an emotionless monster are low without a compatible "Noir Soul" (haha) to inhabit the new vessel.

Over the course of many in-tourney events, including Noir learning to have faith in the sibling bonds he built with Gooey despite being Dark Matter at the time, learning to separate himself and Adeleine as individuals instead of clinging to her to his own neglect, privately opening up to King Dedede, who put the pieces together post-possession, about some awful stuff Noir put up with for years in secret from Raquelle's father (who privately loathed Neichel AND her kids and took it out on Noir) to "pay" for Adeleine's good life...

And lastly, using the power of wishes to interrogate if THIS Noir's true wish is to die and be free, to have never been born, to have had a normal "perfect" life, or if he simply wishes for a second chance to be with those he cares about... White-Haired Noir determines that Tourney!Noir is ready and reveals his plan to him. Noir confesses to him that he really does want to live and be with his family again and offers up his stronger soul for Susie and the gang's vessel.

-

Back in the main-verse...

The experiment is a success! They have brought, well, something back. It is not quite like Dark Matter Swordsman in form, nor is it exactly a human boy. It looks a little bit like a spiky haired-Gooey.

After some tense questioning of the emotionless, memoryless, unresponsive goo, it...suddenly seems to awaken. With the voice of a deeply shaken and scared young boy, the violet-eyed blob questions the mad scientist, cultists, and masked man surrounding him... Where the hell is he? And where are his little brother and sister?

Meta Knight welcomes Noir back to the world of the living.

Later, after Noir has time to dress himself in an appropriate scarf, Adeleine and Gooey are brought in and it is a happy and tear-filled reunion all around as Noir confirms that, while this form is strange, it's not dangerous and he's not in pain. He is then re-introduced to King Dedede, whereupon it's revealed that even though Noir likes him, he's still a snarky teen punk at heart, as he sasses the king horribly. (Dedede has gained another kid, but at what cost? XD)

...And that's it.

That's the ending to Apologies I've held onto for nearly a year.

For reading through all that, here is a short comic I drew a while back of the reunited family having a snowball fight in White Wafers.

-

(Not to unnecessarily over-explain the story but because the comic is a little vague, I have to tell you that no, Noir does not ever return to human after his revival. I meant it when I wrote in several places that their parting on Shiver Star was the last time they'd see each other "...in this form." This is merely meant to depict a moment in which Adeleine, seeing her brother alive and smiling and laughing and having real fun for the first time in so long, is able to imagine his old self smiling and is at peace that her brother is finally free from the hurt and misery he bore up with for so long.)

(...And yes, he has a long, silly tongue just like Gooey. Which is why he hides all but his eyes behind the scarf. Gotta keep up that cool older brother look even as a little goo creature! While Noir can't become human - frankly, he doesn't miss having a human body, given the stuff in his adolescence and being over-stressed, underfed, under-slept and just overall sick all the time in his later teens - he does eventually acquire the ability to shift into his old "Swordsman" form for short bursts of time.)

-

(Lastly, you might wonder how I could have had this exact ending in mind from almost the beginning when so much of it is tied up in recent posts like the tourney? ...Well, originally what was going to happen to allow Noir to be properly resurrected into the Dark Matter Goo body is that the Dream Rod from Star Allies was going to appear in response to a grieving Adeleine's wishes to see her brother again, bringing Noir-as-Swordsman back. At least for a LITTLE while, as it would be revealed that with Zero dead, Noir, who was entirely composed of Dark Matter at this point, couldn't survive on Popstar. Every moment he was there, his body was burning.)

(Still, he lasts long enough to have one final talk with Adeleine that helps heal him from the torturous events of DL 3 - in which we learn a highly disappointed Zero drove Noir to the absolute breaking point, shattering his mind and his newly regained soul. Adeleine also tells Noir she has finally realized everything he did for her during their childhood and apologizes to him for not seeing it before. With dawn on the horizon, Noir asks to look over Adeleine's sketchbooks with her before the end... He dies one last time, peacefully, while Adeleine finally gets to properly mourn him.)

(Then, all the "main-verse" sections proceed to happen as stated above!)

-

(...Okay, okay. One last thing. There was also an alternate ending planned where Magolor, taking advantage of the fact that Merry Magoland was built on a nexus point, finds a way to reunite Adeleine and White-Haired Noir - still a teen in this version - using his theme park as a union point, as special birthday gift for Adeleine.)

(I was kinda fond of this one for reuniting the timelines, but it opened up a lot of questions such as, if Magolor made it so that Noir and Adeleine from two different dimensions can see each other as long as they're both in Magoland, could others from the WH Noir-verse see the main-verse this way? It invited too many questions, so that's why I scrapped that one and just let White-Haired Noir grow up instead.)

Basically, I thought too hard about the idea of Benrey shape shifting, And I liked the idea of Gordon having a "cat" roommate. Hilariously, Sweetvoice can be explained just as easily as explaining it on Sunkist the perfect dog... If you're wondering what Gordon's shirt says in the first comic, it's this

they're not that heavy (~2kg) each leg. it's become a habit of his

HATES footwork lmao

heavily considering just shaving his head bc it gets really annoying when his fringe keeps falling out during sparring

charles taught/got him into bare-knuckle boxing

Qualifications

blue belt in taekwondo. got it certified recently in momosu; learnt up to green belt previously

black belt in kyokushin karate

he's a martial arts genius & he works really hard!!

I've been trying to find references and resources for Vessel bodies because I'm making a ref sheet for my Vessel OC, and while perusing the sprite sheets, I was curious about the size difference between Ghost and BV

BV is definitely bigger, their limbs longer. I think it's really neat that BV's somehow managed to grow a little bit, and I wish we had more information on how that happened.

Their size and the fact that they're so skilled in combat always made me feel like they'd been around for a while before dying. They got so far and collected so many skills; getting to the Ancient Basin was incredibly impressive. They were a survivor, almost as good as Ghost is.

Makes it all the more tragic there's nothing you can do for them :(

And I know it's nothing new, but I also find it hilarious just how long their cloak is. It's so big compared to their actual body. they need a haircut (Cloakcut?)

Ghost's body is so fucking tiny. Why are you still babby, Ghost, you're so old

“You really think I’m safer here, don’t you?” Her fingertips painted small circles over his shirt, her gaze turned to the sky, aggression darkening her expression. She wouldn’t have fought for him any less than the others. “That’s all I still can wish for,” Scott returned quietly, the joyous moment already overshadowed again by the menace somewhere far above. “Everything else probably won’t come true.” “Then that will have to do.” His surprise at her unconditional surrender must have shown, the fine lines digging a little deeper into her forehead, around the corners of her mouth. “Rationality says I cannot protect you, Scott, not from such a threat. I simply do not have the skills yet. I can stand up for good things like today, I can be there for the students, and that’s what I need to do right now. But against an enemy like Phoenix …” She took a deep breath and shook her head through tears. “I’m just not as capable as you guys yet. I only have my heart to fight for all of you. And my heart knows I don’t want to lose what the two of us have.” As if to confirm her own decision, she let her hand rest against his chest again, over that spot where her words made his heart beat painfully fast. “I don’t want us both to die senselessly. I’ve hurt you often enough. If there’s even the slightest chance you’ll come back …” She violently fought the next sob trying to choke her words at the very idea that this was exactly what wouldn’t happen, and gratefully nestled against Scott’s hand, letting her lips rest tenderly on it before carrying on. “… then I will be waiting for you. You're asking me to forget my loyalty, my sense of duty, my friendship with Jean, and my love for the others. Then all I can ask you is to come home."
