A Poll, about a Project, involving BattleTech and Pulp Heroes

Trying something a bit different here, for starters, posting first the poll, and THEN the rambling explanation. Also a slightly different format than I usually do with the choices, being a bit more limited, let me know what you think.

(admission of ulterior motive, hoping to gets some fandom cross-pollination happening)

Somewhat rambling explanation below.

So even though I have two BattleTech Crossover projects ongoing on this platform that are are basically completely stalled, I have decided to start a third, while also doing it on Spacebattles.com, because I'm ridiculous. Although, this one is kinda different, being as much a game as a proper Worldbuilding/Storybuilding project. Anyways, because I like making polls, would prefer to have some sort of evidence that I am not merely howling into the void, and also because I have somehow convinced myself, despite no evidence whatsoever, that this is a good way of drumming up interest,

Anyways, those of you who are familiar with my blog have probably picked up that I am a big fan of Pulp Heroes (although my definition is eccentric and a bit broader than some). Those of you who are not familiar with my blog, welcome, I hope this sparks joy. (are we still saying that?) Anyways, I have decided to see if a long-time hyperfixation and a newer interest can be smushed together.

So. The idea is that I will periodically throw out the name or names, and some descriptive text/wiki links/etc. of a Pulp Hero or group of Pulp Heroes or a Pulp hero and their supporting cast, or several unrelated Pulp Heroes, whatever. And y'all will (hopefully) Reblog or Reply with your thoughts on how best to (to quote SBer Starfox5) "catch the "spirit/essence" of the characters, translated into a Battletech Mercenary context." Ideally, we'd fully BattleTech-ifiy 'em but I will settle for "what 'Mech would they use?"

(I am not ruling out the possibility, if this project goes well and bears fruit, of expanding this into a proper Worldbuilding/Storybuilding thingummy. But let's not get carried away)

It'd be mildly slice of life, but mostly angsty and maybe involve Buck getting angsty h0rny feelings about Eddie, because he's in love with him but also he's perpetually hungry. Lots of grief about being a ghoul, also optional sad bit: Eddie becomes apart of the LAPD Ghoul Elimination Squad.

Majin Buu started to laugh after having to use his Belly Pinball move on Gotenks having to bounce him around with his oversized belly.

"Buu been training with Mr. Satan, but not too rough." He replied to the Fusion Warrior.

The rotund Majin then looks up to see Gotenks spinning like a drill and saw him coming down against him.

mrxfatxbuu​  // Fusion Bonding [Gotenks & Mister Buu] - Part 7

Majin Buu was spinning around like a tornado with his arms swinging and he stretched them out, and he sees Gotenks used his “Continuous Helicopter Kick” having to spin his legs to cancel out the force. 

“Good job, Gotenks! You stop Buu!” Majin Buu said to Gotenks for having the cancel his spinning arm-tornado move. “Buu got good move!” The rotund Majin shouted having to teleport behind Gotenks. “Belly Pinball!” Buu shouted as he began to bounce Gotenks back from his belly into the air like pinball.

“Man you’re as tough as ever Buu, have you been training?” Gotenks wondered, figuring it would have been easier since their last fight. He was caught off guard by Buu’s belly pinball and was spinning in the air from the hit.

“Alright, time to test out my new mow, Shining Falling Star!” he fusion announced as he powered up to his limit then charged straight at Buu’s head from above, to maximise the damage he also added a drill like spin to it.

Watching the SnapCube fandubs made me wish there could be a Sonic adult cartoon—a SAC, if you will. Basically, everyone would still be in-character, but now they swear and make crude jokes when it fits the situation because most of them are teenagers.

Sonic and Rouge would be the types to swear casually; using curses as adjectives and to exclaim in surprise. They provide most of the sexual humor, which are more on the comedic side than exploitative. They're great at combining curses and normal words to create hilarious insults.

Shadow and Knuckles mainly swear to express irritation or for intimidation. Sonic and Rouge would try to make a sex joke out of the serious things those two say.

Eggman would act like he's above swearing until he's at the end of his rope. Then he's just spewing a constant stream of curses, his voice getting higher after each one.

Tails also doesn't swear unless he's very stressed.

Amy tries to avoid swearing by shouting innocent words, but if she's very mad, she'll snap and spit threats so gruesome, everyone in vicinity are left in stunned silence.

Blaze swears in British slang. A lot of "bollocks", "sods", and "arses".

Silver swears with sincerity. He says bad words when he does feel bad.

For the plot of this cartoon, I'd choose for it to be an adaptation of either Shadow The Hedgehog or the Sonic Riders series. Yes, this is because of the "ow the edge" memes. Plus, the Babylon Rogues seem like the types to swear.

I imagine the SAC to be extremely non-canon, so if the setting is Sonic Riders, then the SEGA cameo characters – NiGHTS, Ulala, Aiai, Amigo, and Billy Hatcher – would be part of the cast. Sonic is way more flirtatious here; he hits on Shadow, Knuckles, Blaze, and NiGHTS. He and Rouge exchange sex jokes, too, but those are clearly just jokes.

Eventually, it's revealed the SAC is a dream, which is why NiGHTS is there, and it's Eggman's dream. Somehow, he's teamed up with Wizeman to steal dream energy from everyone present. He was currently asleep with a special helmet that lets him pull minds from across the multiverse into this dream.

To thwart their respective bad guys, Sonic and NiGHTS dualize. They become SoNiGHTS—a fusion that has the colors of Sonic and the proportions of NiGHTS. Together, they defeat Wizeman, and the dream ends.

Eggman wakes up to the sight of Sonic and his friends standing in front of him, ready to beat him to a pulp. Behind Eggman, Silver and Blaze float down, and then Shadow and Rouge teleport into view. And then they all beat the tar out of him like the Powerpuff Girls in their intro scene.

Oh, and everyone’s voiced by the cast of Real-Time Fandub.

Guava rugelach are an edible testament to Jews embracing the new ingredients and cooking techniques that they encountered in the Diaspora. They are also a testament to my mom, a culinary magician who wielded guava like a wand, infusing its sweet tones into our meals.

Brought to Latin America by Eastern European Jews in the early 20th century, cities such as Buenos Aires, Mexico City and Caracas have embraced rugelach. While many versions of the pastry still proudly bear the traditional Ashkenazi flavors of cinnamon, raisins and nuts, that’s far from the whole tale. Rugelach in Buenos Aires or Caracas might contain dulce de leche or cabello de ángel (pumpkin jam), while a stroll into a bakery in Mexico City might reveal rugelach filled with luscious chocolate ganache and aromatic Mexican vanilla.

This rugelach dough is enriched with sour cream, and results in a soft, flakey pastry. The pièce de résistance, though, is the guava filling. 

Originating from Central and South America, “guava” translates to “fruit” in Arawak, the language spoken by the native communities of the Caribbean, where this fruit, similar in size to a passion fruit, grows in abundance. The guava’s tender skin encases a creamy white or orange pulp filled with numerous tiny black seeds. 

As guava is a seasonal fruit and isn’t as widespread as mangoes or papaya, I call for guava paste, due to its unique sour-sweet taste profile. Often referred to as “goiabada,” this paste generally has a lower quotient of added sugars and presents a superior texture for baked products. Unlike runny jams and marmalades, guava paste is sculpted into a dense, sticky block yet remains soft enough to be sliced. 

Growing up, my mom used the vibrant, naturally sweet guava as her secret ingredient, a touch of the tropics that hinted at Caribbean culinary tradition in Venezuela. It turned the simplest family recipe into an exotic treat. This recipe draws inspiration from her traditional guava bread, where history, heritage and affection were kneaded into dough and baked to perfection.

Her guava-infused creations echo loudly in my present, shaping the culinary adventurer in me and reminding me of the vital link between taste and memory. Guava rugelach are not merely a pastry but a narrative of the age-old Jewish practice of reinventing ourselves in the face of new environments. The story of my lineage in the Diaspora, one many fellow Jews can relate to, is etched in the buttery dough and sweet, aromatic filling. Each bite is a reminder of who I am: A fusion of cultures, histories and flavors.

Before It Ends (Jiyan x Fem!Reader) [Chapter 6 - Misunderstood]

"How the fuck did someone as clever and resourceful as you keep coming back looking like you got jumped in an alley by a group of Tacet Discords in the middle of the night?!"

Mortefi tried his best to remain professional with you, but he just couldn't handle it anymore. He stared in aggravation as he took in the bruises and cuts on your face, marring your cheeks as you grinned at him guiltily.

"Y/N. This is the seventhtime in a week, you have come to my lab looking like you got dragged through the nearest Tacet Field and then drowned in the waters outside the Academy!" he growled, as he walked towards you and grabbed your wrist firmly - not gently, because Mortefi had enough of you.

Mortefi pulled you towards the small area he'd made specifically to treat you. "Did you forget that you're supposed to heal the Rangers, not fight the TDs and let them beatyou into a pulp?"

Mortefi doesn't even bother letting you respond, his hand rising to cover your mouth. "No. Shut up. I've heard the arguments three times already." he grumbled, starting to painstakingly clean up your wounds before doing an Overclocking Diagnostic Report on you. "I swear to the Sentinels, it's like you purposefully go hurling yourself into every dangerous situation you can get into! Not even Chixia gets into this much trouble, and we both know how reckless she can get!"

Mortefi can feel the familiar burn of his mounting frustration, his scales warming against his chest as he grit his teeth and started to place bandages and patches over your bruises and cuts. "I swear to Jué, you're damn lucky I care about you, or I'd leave your dumbass to bleed on the Academy steps until Baizhi takes pity on you..."

"Here we go again, a complete change of attitude when no one else is around inside the Academy during nightime.. I prefer the morning Mortefi. He was much more level-headed." you said, trying to provoke him further. "And for your information, we were swarmed by Tacet Discords the whole day while distributing medical supplies in the Port City of Guixu. I had no other choice but to fight." you added, trying to explain your side.

Mortefi stared at you, stunned for barely a moment. Then the anger flared up quickly, causing the fire inside him to ignite and lick at his scales.

"'No other choice? You had plenty of choices, you just kept making the worst of them, every time. Plenty of opportunities to stay back and not get hurt." he growled, swiping your bandaged hand away from him to emphasize his words. "You're one of the best at what you do, you don't need to be proving yourself! And remember, we don't want you overexerting yourself and risking overclocking. Didn't the General remind you about that?"

"Yeah." you replied, with a slight pout on your face.

"For all the times I tell you to be safe, you keep doubling  down on reckless behavior!" He stood, taking a step away. "And yes, I was probably calmer in the morning, when your reckless ass wasn't bleeding all over my laboratory, and I wasn't given cause to worry about you for another goddamn day, yes?"

His voice rose, palpable anger bubbling under the surface of his words as he addressed you. "You may think you're helping, but here you are looking like this! Then you come in, grin on your face and act like you've done something grand when all you've managed to do is nearly get yourself killed!" He took a deep breath, trying to bring his anger back under control. As a Fusion Mutant Resonator, Mortefi's overexertion of his emotions could lead to him Overclocking. The last thing the Academy needed was for their head of the Branch of Tacetite Weaponry to lose control of his abilities.

"Jeez! Relax!" you said, patting his head. This reminded you of the incident where Mortefi overclocked in Desorock Highland, resulting in a major fire.

Mortefi stiffened as you reached up to pat his head. ""I'm not a child, and I certainly am not a puppy that you can pat on the head." He snapped, voice still thick with anger as he stared at you.

"Just...please, next time, try to remain a little bit smarter, a little bit more cautious. For me."

Mortefi couldn't look you in the eyes. Instead, he looked at your bandages, at the remnants of blood that clung to them. "Now stop antagonizing me, get on the table so I can begin examining you. I'll send word to the General and the others on your team about your condition, so no more fieldwork for a few days, got it?"

"These are just minor injuries. It's not like I'm in a life-or-death situation." you remarked, rolling your eyes at him.

"Mother entrusted you to my care. So please, Y/N, just listen to me this once." Mortefi's voice softened.

"Okay..." you sighed in defeat. Mortefi had always been tough on you, but you understood it was for your own good.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Both of you are from the New Federation. You are Mortefi's younger step-sister. His biological mother passed away when he was young, and his father remarried, making your mother his new wife.

You and Mortefi came from a noble family in the New Federation. His biological mother passed away when he was young, and his father remarried, bringing your mother into the family as his new wife. At first, Mortefi was not fond of having you as his younger step-sister, but he eventually grew to care for you. He was always protective of you, constantly watching out for your well-being.

You never had an issue growing up in the New Federation. However, you were disheartened by the way the nation handled the discrimination between Resonators and Non-Resonators. Your strong sense of justice was deeply troubled by living in a nation that was unjust to its citizens. The New Federation also takes pride in Science and Technology, to the extent that the experiments conducted were deemed immoral, a reality that Mortefi found intolerable.

This pushed you and Mortefi to leave the Nation over a decade ago and embark on a journey to Huanglong, where you could effectively utilize your knowledge and skills for the betterment of society. And the people here are unaware of your relationship with each other, except for the Magistrate. But it wasn't a secret worth keeping. Both of you were simply waiting for someone to ask about it.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"You're going to be out of commission for a few days. You'll need to bare with me. It's for your own good, and I'm the only one who knows how to do it right." Mortefi folded his arms, locking his gaze with yours, making sure you understood  his intentions.

"Now that you're evolving, we need to be cautious about everything. You are someone valuable, Doctor." Mortefi emphasized.

He looked at you with his piercing red eyes, slowly removing your clothing from your wounded areas. "If anything happened to you in the field, I'd never forgive myself. If you really want to make a difference, why not do it from a more stable position? This isn't just about staying safe, it's about being more effective in our goals." He spoke with care and concern, his voice gentle as he reprimanded you, easing the tension that had been between you.

"I never thought I would develop such skills. It's overwhelming and I feel frustrated that my body struggles to keep up. It just shows how weak I am." you commented, feeling disappointed in yourself.

"No, Y/N. You're not weak. It's normal to have trouble with adapting to new changes. you just need some guidance and practice. And you have that here in Huanglong. You have the General, Me and the others. You don't need self-depreciating thoughts, but self-improvement through practice and hard work. You are a mutant, your abilities are linked to your emotions and experiences. Your Tacet Mark is a powerful testament to the strength within you." He touched your Tacet Mark gently, his fingers tracing over the sensitive flesh. "You are, and always will have been, strong. Now, let's get this taken care of so you can prove it to me and the rest of the world." Mortefi squeezed your hand reassuringly.

After an hour of examination, he finally permitted you to leave. "Don't be too stubborn, alright?" he advised, raising an eyebrow. "Got it, Professor!" you replied, giving him a tight hug.

"Oh, sorry." Jiyan blurted out as he caught sight of you hugging Mortefi in the hallway.

"Jiyan?" you exclaimed, turning your head to face him as you released yourself from the embrace.

"General." Mortefi nodded to acknowledge his presence. "I didn't mean to interrupt you both." the General stated, gripping the hilt of his blade tightly, his hand trembled as if he had witnessed something that shattered him.

"It's okay!" you reassured Jiyan with a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow." you told Mortefi as you dragged Jiyan out of the Academy.

"What are you doing here? You were supposed to be at the Rearguard's Base." you asked, curious to know why he's here. "Is everything alright?" you inquired, noticing the General's unreadable expression.

A shaky breath escaped before his lips. "There was an emergency mission at a nearby village. But I took care of the situation before it got out of control." Jiyan's voice held an underlying tension as he tried to put on a brave face. 

"Thank goodness." Your worried frown smoothed out, returning to your usual, radiant smile. You hooked your arm through Jiyan's, giving him a squeeze.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I asked Xin Ye, and she informed me about what happened. I'm glad you're okay. I can see that Mortefi has been taking good care of you." Jiyan replied, though a hint of jealousy seemed to linger behind his words.

"Yeah, he does. My Overclock Diagnostic Report was normal, and he also helped me with my wounds." you said, touching the tacet mark on your chest.

Jiyan knew that every time Mortefi needed to diagnose you, your tacet mark had to be exposed, making him wonder how many times Mortefi had seen you without your shirt on. This realization left him feeling somewhat irritated.

"Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit off." Jiyan's demeanor shifted as if he were in a bad mood.

"I'm fine." he insisted, but he was no longer meeting your gaze, instead, his eyes focused on the ground. As he felt your grip on his arm tightening, it prompted Jiyan to look at you once more.

"Hey, Y/N. Can I ask you something?" Jiyan paused in his tracks to question you.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Do you like Mortefi? Are you guys dating?" he asked.

"What?" you replied with a snort, attempting to stifle your laughter, but you failed.

"What are you laughing at?" he asked, furrowing his brows.

"Dating?! Mortefi is my step-brother, you silly!" you replied with a grin, playfully slapping Jiyan's back.

"I thought he-..." Jiyan admitted to his error, his face heating up. He looked down, feeling embarrassed that he'd made such a mistake.

"Haha. No, he's my brother. Step-brother! We've been through a lot together since we were young."

For a brief moment, the silence settled between the two of you before Jiyan spoke again, sounding somewhat relieved. "So, you're not seeing anyone?"

"No, I'm not." you assured him.

And your response managed to bring a smile to the General's face.

End of Chapter 6 🥀...

[pikahlua]

Pika I’m sobbing all might is so precious. Using his students as inspiration for his moves?? They’re really his heroes huh

The emotional evolution of All Might as we have progressed through this story is so beautiful. He’s up there with katsuki as one of my favorite characters.

Also, I am SO fucking excited for this fight and also screaming at the way his suit still has is little bunny hairs. What are your thoughts on this chap pika? I must knowwwww

All Might using an armored power suit fitted with a synergistic load-out of all of his student's quirks?

Fusion theory became too real too fast.

I would like to say that what I will write next is just me being an obnoxious Katsuki fan and that you should go read the takes of those most engaged by All Might's story, the biggest All Might fans in the fandom, but you know what? I'm taking a stand here.

I lived this chapter vicariously through my soft, precious son boy, and I think that's an entirely valid way to receive this chapter!

THIS CHAPTER DID THINGS TO ME. EMOTIONAL THINGS.

I'm beyond meta at this point. I'm just here to tell you all how the final two pages of chapter 396 SMASHED MY HEART INTO A BLOODY PULP.

"I have never once fought with the intention of losing!!!"

THAT LINE. RIGHT THERE. SENT ME TO THE MOON.

It's the exact same feeling I got when Katsuki rejected the League of Villains and asserted his identity.

All Might, right now, is being the hero Katsuki admired!!!

HOW WOULD I NOT BE PUMPED ABOUT THAT? Both for the sake of seeing All Might kick ass AND because, well, that's a really good lead-in for Katsuki to return to the story, especially since he died in the face of ShigAFO's dismissal of Katsuki's admiration of All Might.

I'm just sayin'.

[honeylemoom]

Conan of the Periphery: A BattleTech/Pulp Fusion World/Storybuilding Project

Well, y'all voted for this, so here it goes.

For reasons I don't quite understand, we mostly ended up discussing King Conan, and realized that we can't quite make the Canon version work, since there's no way for Conan to end up running a Successor State. So we decided on him making a new state in the Periphery. Which led to someone suggesting:

I'd suggest Star's End over the Marians anyways, because you have something that really matters (a JumpShip yard), and an environment that plays to the strengths of a Conan-style character; not so much civilized, but personal prowess is very important fighting across a thousand tiny fields of battle. Plus you get to have Susie Morgaine-Ryan draping herself across Conan's lap during the invasion, and she's absolutely a Conan character with her combination of vamping and stabbity.

So, this image, of Conan fighting the Clans with Susie Morgraine-Ryan draped across his lap became a centerpiece, and from there we decided on Aquilonia being formed from some combo of Star's End, the Barony of Strang, the Oberon Confederation, and and least some of the Chainelane Isles.

What we settled on is that Conan leaves Cimmeria, a marginal planet in the Periphery and begins a career as a wandering MechWarrior in the Inner Sphere in the 2950s, earning substantial fame and renown, etc. before settling down after semi-inadvertently carving out a kingdom for himself in the Coreward Periphery in the 2980s.

When the Third Succession War officially ends in 3025, he decides to retire, abdicating the throne in favor of his son Conan II (henceforth, Conn) and going exploring. Subsequently, Conn very much gives the FedCom a kick in the teeth after they decided Aquilonia becoming a bit to strong for their comfort. Nothing to major just a small raid that goes very wrong and the peace talks after have Conn cement themselves as a grand Statemen and a Ruler of the nation that demands as much respect as the other Major periphery nations do.

Meanwhile, Conan gets stuck in the California nebula and encounters something that slows, stops, or reverses his aging, and then somehow manages to contrive to escape with a Royal SLDF 'Mech that's been tricked out with weird CalNeb tech, and shows up just as the Clan Invasion gets started.

Aaand that's where we hit a wall.

So, ideally, I'd like to do two things:

-Backfill Conan's history.

-Figure out how the history of the Inner Sphere unfolds differently from the Clan Invasion onwards.

Any thoughts?

[prism-empurress]

okay so…ISAT/In Stars and Time has been my obsession for MONTHS now.

There's a secret boss where you fight Loop, and win. But apparently there's an update where you can LOSE against Loop. haven't experienced that yet.

THIS REMINDS ME OF…

well, a secret character in my world is Clara, who hails from the future. She's...very spiteful. Very bitter. She's the fusion of two souls; Empurress and Lady Greenfyre. Idk why she's back in the past or how she got there. she just is.

she has a very low encounter chance…unless you've beaten the 'game' at least once and start a 'new game+'. then her encounter chances are raised.

Otherwise it's basically shiny hunting.

anyway, encountering her in a normal save vs a new game+ is different.

Clara is essentially an oracle???

So if you encounter her in a normal save, and beat the odds, she gives you very cryptic warnings, essentially telling you to fuck off. She seems…utterly repulsed

at the mere sight of what she USED to be.

After that, you don't get to interact with her anymore. You can't befriend her, be-enemy her, nothing. She says "watch out for the burdens and crushed hopes" and peaces out.

HOWEVER, IN A NEW GAME+, she's EVEN MORE PISSED. Like you really disappointment her somehow.

her dialogue turns into disgusted daggers.

eventually, if you have either PegaKitty or Lady Greenfyre in your party…

she LUNGES at them, you're forced into playing as either of them, thankfully if they're both in your party you get to choose between them while the other clamors to rescue 'you'.

Clara is a water type! So…if you pick Lady Greenfyre to fend her off…you're kinda fucked.

PegaKitty…can't really do much. Especially after Clara says

"You've seen it, right? The supposed "Glorious Future?""

"It never lasts."

"Seeing you now…makes me want to puke."

Clara's stats…are kinda cracked. Like she knows your every move before you do.

So it's inevitable…that she starts choking the daylights out of you.

"Just die."

"I can't stand living through it all again."

"And watch you become another me."

She starts monologuing about how all of her friends in the past don't recognize her anymore, and downright fear her. All while she's basically beating you to a pulp. If you're able to outsmart her (bond depending), you're able to get the upper hand and make her surrender. She quips that maybe the future can change and she won't have to face losing everyone again.

however!! If your bond with either PK or LG is too low, Clara. Utterly. Eviscerates. You.

She grins wickedly as you struggle for breath…and remarks that she's finally free.

But then Eden gets cold.

The planet begins freezing over.

It seems that this is…

GAME OVER.

Pulp’s Seperations: Love, Jealousy, and Hatred

The 1992 album of Britpop band, Pulp, is a painstakingly aggressive album of love, jealousy, and hatred. The sickly greens of the album’s cover are the appetizer, the dinner mint of it all, to prepare the listener for the extravagant meal their ears will feast on.

Jarvis Cocker’s throaty, sensual, and brash vocals create the punch of emotions that offset Candida Doyle’s punchy synths, Steve Mackey’s deep-cutting basslines, and Russell Senior’s acid-induced guitars. A motif of sun, moon, and stars are recurring throughout the album, perhaps a symbol to represent the body and the feelings that come along with love, jealousy, and hatred. 

The track “Love Is Blind” is a spiritual lament about the world collapsing and falling in love. “Countdown” discusses attempting to fall in love with someone who’s in a relationship already, a recurring theme in Pulp’s music. Other notable tracks include “This House Is Condemned”, sung by violinist Russell Senior, “Don’t You Want Me Anymore?”, “She’s Dead”, “My Legendary Girlfriend”, and “Death II”.

Recorded in Fon, Sheffield from 1989 to 1990, the album mixes IDM, acid house, indie pop, experimental, synth pop, and alternative rock into one mind-bending genre, creating a psychedelic fusion of sounds.

The overall album is an explosion of hatred, feeling doomed yet lovesick, jealousy, and closed-off rage.
