Production history around: Arc
This article will be going over the events that led to the creation of ‘Arc’, a short film I made recently.
Tumblr media
Me in Dartmoor holding the spirit mask — Photo by Anastasia Forbes.
For a few months now I have wanted to make a film about or in nature — mainly focussing on mushrooms (because they are cool). There are several reasons why I wanted to make a ‘nature’ film. Firstly, I want to push myself to do different genres and motifs. With every film I learn something new, and there are so many wells out there, so why not dip my toes into as many as I can. Secondly, Devon is wonderful for the outdoors, so it feels like a wasted opportunity not to. Recently I saw some dome videography work by Dr Kayla Parker and Dr Stuart Moore during their screening of ���River Visions’ at the Immersive Vision Theatre. This partly pushed my search into the area more so.
Tumblr media
(‘River Visions’ screening on the 14th of October, 2024)
Thirdly, when it comes to galleries and screenings, nature and the environment is a common theme. It feels good to have a film available for each occasion, so submission guidelines do not act as a barrier.
In early October, I stumbled upon an Instagram post by Fotonow CIC.
Tumblr media
Two aspects jumped out at me — play is a large part of my ‘chance in filmmaking’ PhD, so I thought it may be a useful academic experience, and secondly, it was a good excuse to finally film the nature piece which had been nagging me recently.
Tumblr media
I had invited my wife and our friend Ana along with us. I did feel a bit guilty about taking up so many of the limited spaces myself, but it was the first of these types of events I had been on, so honestly I was a little nervous before arriving. Also, I am very unfit, so I did not want to be left to die in the moors. I really appreciate the photos the two of them took of me. Often I am the person taking photos at events, so it sometimes appears that I was never there!
Tumblr media
Before arriving at the designated meetup spot, one of the first things I noticed (other than all the adorable Dartmoor ponies) was a massive structure pointing up to the heavens. Later I learnt that it was the North Hessary Tor transmitting station. It kept reappearing on the walk, so I decided this would be the antagonist of the film.
Tumblr media
We met everyone at a carpark in Princetown where we were given a brief overview of the day. Abigail did a great job of leading the session.
Tumblr media
During this rundown, we were handed prompts of what we could be thinking about during the trip. The quick readthrough of this pamphlet painted my vision of what to expect.
Tumblr media
Partly due to prompts being a large part of my practice, I instantly thought this unexpected element was a cool inclusion. It is like reading a book and finding a reference that fits perfectly into your essay. I had not thought about a collection of prompts painting a theme before, like a mental mood board. The idea of ‘prompts with purpose’.
Thinking about it in terms of folklore, I feel it makes total sense to include. The way in which I view the moors would be totally different to someone who grew up around them, hearing different stories about spiritual elements, and who has a better understanding of one’s connection to nature. The prompts, in a way, act as a shorthand to put you into that wavelength. Using prompts in this way feels like a clever way to start any activity. A mental readjustment.
The day was great, and the lighting was perfect for filming. The area was way more flat than I was expecting. This is not a bad thing, its just that upon arrival, I realised that my moist film about mushrooms had to shift into something else. The aforementioned prompts helped with that tremendously.
Tumblr media
We only got hit by the rain for a short period, but this was already after we took a few introduction shots, and before we reached our basecamp. In a way the rain allowed us to push through the area quicker, so we had good light for the primary location. It was lucky in a way. What wasn’t as lucky was Isobel’s coat breaking (zipper busted), so she was affected by the elements more than some of us.
Tumblr media
Everyone we met at the event was very nice. It is great how many cool people you can meet through a free event on Instagram. It was nice being able to hop from conversation to conversation, as well as to just run away and take some pictures. I have the complex with my filmmaking that I am making everyone wait up for me, but in this scenario everyone was always occupied with their own things, so I never felt like I was taking up too much time. It was nice.
Tumblr media
Also one of the photographers brought along their dog, which was an instant highlight. They were the best boy at the event, hands down.
Tumblr media
As a result of the prompts, I kept seeing portals everywhere. I had thoughts of ‘if I went through them, would I be in a world slightly different from my own?’. Alternatively, ‘what, from somewhere else, could travel here?’ — this became part of the premise of the film. A spirit, linked to the radio tower, which travelled through portals.
Tumblr media
Our base was at the ruins of Foggintor Quarry. This location made me think about the connection between the present and the past, and how some elements of the past are in the present. As a result of these thoughts, I originally I wanted to call the film ‘Current’, as in electricity, and now. Instead I chose ‘Arc’, as in electricity, circle (portal), and the developing of a narrative.
I also thought about another interesting element regarding ‘time’ on this trip. That, to the untrained eye, it is hard to know what is 100 years old, or 5000 years old. The idea that the past becomes an ambiguous clump of information, with it hard to discern it all apart. We are so certain though, that ‘now is now’, and we are certain that the ‘future is later’, but should we be?
Tumblr media
The prompts also asked that we ‘find spirits’, which shaped a lot of my thinking on the day. I thought that there could be a spirit linked to the transmission tower looming over us. Maybe using the tower to travel, maybe being upset that the tower exists in the landscape, like a God versus Babel situation, maybe both. There were also thoughts that the portals are what allow the spirit to appear. In a sense, the portals within these ruins, or those formed by ancient stone circles (or our little on on the floor), served as gateways, enabling the spirit to traverse time and emerge from the past into the present.
Tumblr media
This ‘travelling through electricity’ made me think about my film ‘Disseminate’, where once something is made and put out into the world, it exists as its own entity. So the thought of me playing the main character in ‘Disseminate’ and ‘Arc’ made me think about a weird link between these films. This, on top of the thought that time may not be as linear as humans like to think, made me imagine a scenario where one of the films leads to the other. It is funny though, that in reality this is kind of true..
Tumblr media
The mask was created by Abigail when she was younger for a school project (I cannot remember if it was GCSE or A-levels) — The prop was handed to me, and I decided to take this as a chance event. Even though there were other masks available, this would be the one I used. Cannot miss an excuse for degree and artistic relevance.
Tumblr media
Below are some of the other props that were brought along. After the event, I had a look through Abigail’s portfolio, and it is cool to see that many of these pieces were used in some of her other works. She is talented, so I recommend you check her stuff out.
Tumblr media
I do like the world of known vs. unknown. Often I meet people, not knowing at all how talented they are. The unknown being a time to ‘meet the person’ I feel is very important and healthy. Also, a lot of creators can get paralysed if they feel a ‘quality’ or ‘professionalism’ disconnect between them and the people they are working with. I feel it’s best to remove that whenever possible, as people are more likely to play, have fun, and create great works as a result.
For the song I used a snippet of ‘Auld’ by Casonika — I wanted something human, full of mistakes, and kind of folksy. The music also had an electrical interference to it which I felt matched the themes of the piece.
‘Auld Lang Syne’ means ‘long long ago’, which I felt also matched the themes around time I was thinking about while making this piece.
Tumblr media
I think that’s all I have to say about the piece and the history around it so far! This is my first time writing an article so close to the release of the film (the next day). It does change a lot. Many of the details are clearer, but it also means that there is less history and reception to build upon. I may make a second article on its life once it has had time to exist, but we shall see. Thanks for reading.

SHADOW(Appleradio)
I'd like to see Lucifer find Alastor in his radiotower, seriously wounded. And Alastor's shadow (though weak and tired after the battle) becomes quite protective~
(We all know his shadow can't hurt Lucifer, not even a scratch:D
But it is interesting to see some of Alastor's power going out of his control and trying to do something for him. )

What if in your breakfast au "stayed gone" Started while Vox still didn't know about Velvette and in Alastor's part instead of actually saying something he just goes "AAAAAAAAAAAAA" With Velvette's voice and that's how he finds out? It would be like "nice argument, unfortunately I am torturing your friend in my radio station" And I think that would be pretty funny and dark at the same time
THIS IS FUNNY
But two things
Stayed gone happened before overlord meeting, and Vel was kidnapped right apter
Alastor never disappeared in this au! So stayed gone never happened, or there was another song, and such things heppen pretty often, because Alstor is having fun with it
but anyway, if that was the case, i imagine him and Rosie stitting in his radiotower and giggling like two gremlins they are, waiting to drop the most horrifying trauma onto 2/3 Vees

Blackout AU: the fight with Adam seems like the ideal time for Alastor to have an "episode;" imagine if Alastor blackout for the first time in decades after nearly getting cut in half by Adam, wakes up in his destroyed radiotower, assumes he just barely managed to get away, stitches himself back up, reappears during The Song as usual, and later finds himself being congratulated by Rosie and his fellow Overlords for brutally murdering the First Man on live TV.
Rose: I was terrified after he struck you down, but then you got back up and ripped out his through with your teeth and tossed me and my cannibals fresh angel guts! Of course, it was a shame you had to toss his head at the rest of the Exorcist Army for a message, but it was brutally effective!
Alastor: ...I did what?
Oh the battle is the PERFECT time for Alastor to have a blackout! He's spent years not having any because he's gotten used to the constant stress of hell, but this battle will definitely reach a whole new height of stress for him. It definitely surpasses his current threshold.
The second he gets sliced by that axe, he's gone. Everything goes silent. Vox's feed, meanwhile, loses the static. He, and everyone else watching, 100% believe that Alastor just died. Otherwise, there'd still be static covering his body, right?
Except Alastor gets up. He gets up, and he rushes Adam like he's got nothing left to lose. There's no control, no finesse, no thought behind the brutal assault. Simply raw instinct, like that of a cornered animal.
Alastor's body is rushing to complete two objectives. One, he must get rid of the threat. And two, he must escape to safety. He doesn't even have the presence of mind to acknowledge that simply ripping Adam apart with his teeth won't stop the man from regenerating— not that that matters, of course, when he throws the body away from himself and towards the group of ravenous cannibals gleefully wielding angelic weaponry.
Alastor, of course, wakes up in his Radio tower, a little while after the noises outside die down. He's still painfully stressed, but at a much more manageable level. Takes his time downing some whiskey he keeps hidden under his station. (It's a miracle, really, that it survived.) Then, he gets to work, slowly and carefully stitching himself back up into something marginally more intact.
When he makes his reappearance, he's a little surprised by the looks of... respect? That he's receiving. He imagined running from battle with his tail between his legs would damage his reputation, but it seems not. Hell, not even Vox's obnoxious camera crew tries to approach him! It's rather strange that Vox is not attempting to press his advantage...
Then Rosie starts talking to him. And he has to try very, very hard not to reveal that he has no fucking clue what she's talking about.
He already didn't like the fact that he had no control of himself when he blacks out. He hates it even more that he's capable of such destruction while unconscious. What would have happened if his feral mind had directed that devastation towards someone who didn't deserve it? What if he had hurt Rosie? Nifty? Charlie?
He needs control. He needs it. Fuck.
Unbeknownst to him, a certain fallen angel is watching him with considering eyes.

More DomesticatedStaticradio fluff:
-When Charlie was a child, she was often dressed by Vix and Alastor lile those old timey wimey lolita gowns style thing from the 20's-40's complete with bonnet and ribbons. As she grew older she began to mimic her daddy and papa's clothing, Vox one day notices how Charlie didn't seem more incline to wear dresses and a teacher (bitch) once complain how Charlie doesn't like to wear the "proper girl" clothing.
Result? A teacher was served as dinner for Alastor and both daddies spoil their little girl with more clothing of her choices so long as it does not harm her nor humiliate her. Her happiness is all that matters.
-Alastor said j'etaime to Vox for the first time, Vox short circuited and went into Voxtech with a big goofy smile, gave several interns a heart attack at how sappy the boss is.
-Vox once gave Alastor a room filled with vintage records he (aka his poor henchmen) dug up or made (or even threaten old dead 1870-1920's hollywood celebrities in Pentagram city to rerecord). Alastor was so happy he actually broke character and literally cried. Vox (the idiot) panicked thinking he made his Alastor sad.
-Velvette thinks the two are saps. Carmilla thinks they should get a room-- nvm she does not want to risk a "second" child made from their current. In Carmilla's pov it was a godsend miracle Charlie (hahahahaha) came out of them as a normal sweet little girl.
-Vark and Charlie slept together one time in Vark's bed. Let us just say you can see a HUGE wallpaper of the two in a certain computer in Voxtech and a huge photograph frame in gold and hang proudly in the Radiotower.
-Husk when meeting baby Charlie: How did you two make this little girl?
Alastor:... electrical current.
Vox: (I thought we finally agree on Vark getting her...!)
Husk stared at Charlie:...*smiles* You're not too bad kid.
Charlie: o7o
Vox forcing old singers to re-record their music so Alastor could listen to it again makes me want to bite something, that's so goddamn sweet
My soul feels healed

Hilda and Jo: Together Again
(aka another fanfic idea i had even though i should be working on erikafolk)
Tumblr media
"Everything's changed, hasn't it?"
"Yes. But it's the way of the world for things to change. It wasn't for nothing. We'll always have our memories of this place."
"But that's all it is! Memories. Our house is gone. The mountain's gone. Our life here's gone. And now... Now you're gone too."
...
Rewatching the episode "Together Again" in Adventure Time: Distant Lands and finding out about the scrapped storyline for Hilda E2E8 "The Fifty-Year Night," I had a tearjerking idea for a Hilda fanfic.
Johanna dies during Hilda's late teens. What caused her death? Who knows! One thing is certain though: Hilda will never see life the same way again.
Sure, she still was the same fearless, adventure-loving girl; but her motivations for her love for adventures changed. She kept adventuring more than ever in order to distract herself from having the time to even think about Johanna. She still had David, Frida, Alfur, Twig, and all of her wonderful friends, but often she wonders how long will she live for until she dies and gets to join her mother.
It didn't help that Johanna's body disappeared. Her own daughter couldn't even meet her as a ghost.
More information:
In her adult life, Hilda became a naturalist and explorer, authoring several books about her exploits around the world. She's becoming to come to terms with her mother's death. She thought, this is what Johanna would want her to do.
Until one day, she discovered strange, magical creatures, "Skuggers" she called them. Bearing a striking resemblance to a certain fae entity, these creatures have immensely powerful illusion magic. Also a very peculiar oddity with them: they're always sighted with seemingly random individuals who just died. Hilda found out the pattern: Skuggers always look for the remains of fairy-human hybrids. Just when Hilda was getting over Johanna, she saw this as an opportunity to finally get closure about her mother's whereabouts.
She said goodbye to her friends and acquiantances back in Trolberg, only bringing Twig along for her quest to find out more about Skuggers. Although, all her attempts failed because, well, hard to fool a being capable of supernaturally fooling your very senses. After weeks of failure, she was gonna head back to Trolberg when she finally spotted a Skugger, not too far from the wall, bringing a bag of bones; it seemed like it was going somewhere. Hilda and Twig followed it discreetly and discovered a fairy circle in the mountains that was hidden by the Skuggers' magic. Unfortunately, at this point, they were found out and the Skugger sprinted along the mountainside, with Hilda and Twig chasing it. Who did those bones belong to? It seemed like she was finally gonna figure out where they stash all those fairy-hybrid remains. She's gonna see her mother again.
And then she fell.
Very high.
She landed with a thud.
And then she died.
In her final moments, she saw shadowy silhouttes, and then a very strange, colorful, yet familiar environment, before blacking out.
.
.
.
Years has passed. Hilda rose up from the ground and saw that she was transparent and skeletal. She was a ghost! Her tombstone was even there! She thought she was buried at St. Guglows, but a quick turnaround revealed gigantic mushrooms, jade-colored rocks, and a flock of white woffs in the air. She was in Fairy Country!
Turns out, Phinium and Lydia saw Hilda dying and "abducted" her with the watchtower, but it was too late to save her. They hid her body in a very remote place in the isle, where no one but them could find it.
Hilda saw that the entire island is in darkness. Shouldn't the sun never set in Fairy Country? To be honest, she also didn't expect a lot of jury-rigged radiotowers, skyscrapers, and roads. What happened to the fairies?
Yeah, Fairy Country as we know it has been transformed by years of mad science and old magic, thanks to Victoria Van Gale. She assumes de facto control over all of Fairy Country and dubbed them the territory of the "Republic of Van Galea". The Skuggers were her personal inventions, meant to exploit the island's properties where what you see is what people want to believe they are.
Those remains? Skuggers use the ghostly forms of fairy-human hybrids in order to power their illusion magic. They're locked up somewhere in the watchtowers.
Try guessing who else is a certain half-fairy ghost there... ;)
And you know how Hilda reacted to all of this? The fact she died prematurely, the fact that her friends thought of her as missing for years, the fact that Victoria Van Gale has messed up the Fairy Isles beyond belief?
She simply lit up with joy and thought, "I get to see Mum again!"
:D
(The burden of those questions will come to her later).

Kemono Jihen Chapter 97: Summary + Page-by-Page Translation
Translated by me and proofread by @stinkigami
Welcome in 2025! Lotsa text in this one and little time on my side
Chapter 97: For your Sake
Summary
Starts with a flashback of Urabe, Thin and Kotaro where they drink in a bar on the latter joining Genji. Kotaro wonders if they’re the only ones but since Raiden and Mayo were still Highschoolers back then, Urabe didn’t invite them (to a bar)
Thin talks about research he’d do on zombies and if the others would kill him if he ever turned into one. Urabe says it’s better to kill youtself first before ever shooting at a friend. Back in the present, Urabe is still confronted by Kanetake and Kotaro keeps yelling at Urabe to shoot since that’s not really Kanetake anymore.
Another flashback to when Kotaro and Kabane were training Kaede together and Kotaro tells Kabane about his brother and what happened to him after he started investigating the Tokyo Police Department. Back to the present he admits thinking his brother has been dead for a while but he was still looking for him because of his dog Ellie which used to belong to Kanetake.
Mayo, despite admitting he wasn’t really sure what to do, tells them to catch Kanetake alive. Kon asks Urabe if he has the stuff he used on her 3 years ago that incapacitated her. (The stuff that works on Kemono with good noses). He denies, saying it’s not a lethal tool to which Kon tells him not to forget it next time. Kon readies her explosive blood and Urabe manages to hold him down while Kon damages legs and ankles. They manage to capture Kanetake.
Mikage, somewhat self conscious in their new body, runs into Kaidou who’s just receiving the news of Gaokong’s death and is not happy in the least. He can’t believe Gaokong would die but Mikage says it can since the Mamono-Cell weren’t perfected yet and that his research is a lot of trial-and-error. Kaidou tells him to leave because Mikage hasn’t been working on Kaiju for him.
Meanwhile, Shiki and Kabane enter Mikage’s room, find his notes, take photos and eventually find the virus although Kabane wonders why Kon and Urabe aren’t there yet. They grab the stuff and scram.
Switch to Inari and her cabinet with a meeting just starting. Inari is very busy so Nobimaru tells everyone to only report if something is really important. Ume is distressed that Yamabuki kight snitch on him and that this would lead to Kaidou unleashing his wrath on him.
Yamabuki does try to report on the weapon-delivery mission but Inari interrupts her immediately and tells Mikage to present their latest project the II-Radiotower, a Mamono with a mix of Foxweed, human female, and Inari genetic material with which the enthralling effect of the weed can be broadcasted via airwave to the last corners of Japan for full control. The project will be finished in a week after the II-Mamono starts parasitizing the Tokyo Skytree and, in the future, Inari wants these Towers everywhere in Japan.
She tells Raigo to end the isolation of Japan and states she wants to invite the American President (good luck, Trump) and other world leaders to share her vision of world peace by unifying everyone’s thoughts and minds. No missiles and stuff needed.
After the meeting, Mikage runs after Kaidou who’s pissy about Mikage prioritizing Inari’s orders and then modeling the II-Mamono with a reminiscence of King Kong which he feels is a jab at him. Mikage denies that and confesses that it is talking about Kaiju with Kaidou what they love most but Inari is also their benefactor.
Kaidou tells Mikage to decide and they pick Kaidou who then asks, since he’s the most important to Mikage, what they’ll do for him.
Shiki, Kabane, Kon, Urabe send the samples to Thin via Tanuki-Express and Thins says he’ll likely have the vaccine replicas in a week. Kabane thinks it’s too long and Shiki agrees and says that Inari and her crew won’t just be sitting around, especially after noticing what they did at the facilities.
Kabane says that he wants to talk to Mikage because he thinks Mikage is another “Kaede” who does bad things just because Kaidou tells him to. Shiki is critical and doesn’t want another “Kaede” in Yashima and they’d have to talk that over with Iyo anyway. He’s more set on seeing Akira right now who is still very distraught.
Mayu and Yamabuki are on a rooftop and Yamabuki is a little annoyed that Inari just cut her off like that. But in her opinion, the II-Tower is much better than anything Kaidou ever came up with and it also looks better. And the “cloning” could be used to create Mayu’s sparkly world and all Mayu needs to do is stay at her side.
Chapter ends with Mihai noticing that the internet access in Japan is back and all his work of creating an intranational social media was for naught (he calls himself the Elon Musk of Transylvania) He gets a call from Inugami who has the opportunity for it since Inari is happy at the moment. He tells Mihai that the preparations for his place to die are finished.
Last page is the II-Mamono starting to parasitize the Tokyo Skytree
Page 1: Color Page : With friends, your courage grows!
Page 2
Flashback to shortly after Kotaro joined Genji. He’s in a bar with Thin and Urabe
Thin: Let’s drink to the new brave warrior joining our team!
Group: Cheers!!
Kotaro: Are you two really the only members of Genji? Or am I…disliked?
Thin: Nah, there are two more.
Urabe: But they are still in Highschool. So I didn’t call them.
Kotaro: What a crazy team…
Thin: What would you two do if your teammates turned into zombies and attacked? (not helping Thin) I might get bitten at any moment. I just wanna grab some of their meat and take it home, but I wonder if you can get infected by merely touching it.
Page 3
Kotaro: I never thought about that. It’s pointless.
Urabe: In such a situation, I would think there were something wrong with myself first…Some people start hallucinating in extreme situations. [being pushed to your limit leads to hallucinations]
Thin: Hmmmm ufufufu (laugh) Guess I picked the wrong topic to chat about. But then… Suehisa wouldn’t shoot a teammate anyway.
Urabe: Well, if you're going to shoot, shoot yourself before shooting at your friends. (lit. shoot your own head instead of your teammate’s)
Cut back to the present and to Urabe with scary face still not shooting Kanetake
Page 4
Kotaro: URABE!! SHOOT!! THAT’S NOT KANETAKE ANYMORE!!
Page 5
Kotaro recalling a talk he had with Kabane while they were washing doggos and Kaede during the Genji-Training
Kotaro: Do you know Sakata Kanetake? My older brother used to be an investigator in Genji. He went missing after infiltrating the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in order to investigate Inari Yoko’s actions.
Ellie was originally my older brother’s dog. She listens to me, but she hasn’t forgotten all the good memories she had with my older brother.
Back to present
Kotaro: I thought he was dead for a long time… But I was still looking for him…
Page 6
Kotaro: Stop messing with me…!! I just feel so sorry for Ellie!!
Page 7
Mayo: (over com) Both of you, aim for the legs! We’ll catch him alive!
Kotaro: Eh!?
Mayo: Even I don’t know what’s best to do in this situation, but this is certainly NOT the time where we simply have to choose between ‘killing’ him and running away. Listen, Urabe. I’m the operator, these are my instructions!
Page 8
Kon: Catch! Hey, don’t you have that special medicine? (the pill/ball thingy which’s powder is meant to take out Kemono with good noses like Kitsune and Tanuki)
Urabe: I didn’t bring it with me. It’s a tool that cannot kill. (dark line, geee)
Kon: I see… Don’t forget it next time.
Urabe: Roger… thank you (who’s Roger? Nobody can ever tell me but everyone seems to know him)
Page 9
Kon: Let’s go!! (she bites her fingers, releasing exploding blood)
Kanetake: I- I, U- Urabe. I- in honor of your time in the JSDF (Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force)
Page 10
Kanetake: I admire you. (he attacks, Kon ducks under it, Urabe catches his worm-like head protrusion thing)
Kon: Caught him / (his legs, ankles)!
Urabe: Alright…
Page 11
Big shot of Kon incapacitating Kanetake by exploding her blood on his legs/ankles. Then a panel showing the facility from outside and then a shot of some apes (in suits) hearing the noise.
Page 12
Switch to Loli-Scientist Mikage
Mikage: …I’ve arrived… (switch to interior monologue) —>This is the body of a female ape, just like Oku-sama has one. Will Kaidou be happy? (out loud again) —> I’m starting to feel embarrassed. Maybe I should just go home…
As he enters the room he hears others talking
Kaidou: Gaokong is dead?
Mikage: Eh?
Page 13
Kaidou: (he’s on the phone) How? Something like that couldn’t possibly happen. I entrusted you with the King of Beasts.
Mikage: No, it’s possible for Gaokong to die. The Mamono-Cells are still not perfect. My research is all based on 99% failure and just 1% success
Page 14
Mikage: As a scientist, it is my goal to ensure that successful results can be replicated again and again. Kaidou-kun, we’re just at the very beginning of things...
Kaidou: Is that you, Mikage?
Mikage: (embarrassed, hiding his face) Tha- that’s right.
Kaidou: Please take your leave.
Mikage: Eh?
Kaidou: What about eh? It’s not like there’s any progress on the Kaiju-Development, is there? I know what you're doing at the moment and I’ve got no interest in that at all. Now, please excuse me, I still have something to discuss with this person.
Page 15
Switch to Kabane/Shiki
Shiki: Here’s Mikage’s room… This is going smoothly
Kabane: Kon and Urabe still haven’t come.
Shiki: Then let’s wrap up quickly over here and go join them afterwards. You check the shelves over there.
Kabane: Got it.
Page 16
Shiki: Wow, this seems important. I’ll take pictures just in case.
Kabane: Ah! There is the Mamono that was defeated in Okinawa.
Close up of Mikage’s notes, they’re not about Gao tho but about Jawskong (translation stolen from your post, Messy ehehehe):
1. What would make Kaidou-kun happy? —> aero-parts, huge claws and fangs, hard scales, if it can use laser beams or flames
2. Body length —> ideal as is, but he prefers Mamono to be bigger. I should make it look even cooler.
3. Important notes —> Don’t forget! His favorite colors are black and gold
Page 17
Shiki: Kabane! (He makes a gesture to get Kabane to look) Found it! Now, let’s scram.
Switch to Nobimaru
Nobimaru: The Cabinet-Meeting will begin now.
Page 18
Nobimaru: As usual, Lady Inari is TGKM. Please speak only if you have something really, really important to report.
(Taihen Gotabou wo Kiwameru Mi —> a Nobimaru neologism, a nobilogism, to say that Inari is too busy to listen to anything that’s not super important. Thx Messy, you saved me some time here)
3 great shots 1. Yamabuki with a smug smile and a superior air around her. 2. Raigo still drugged out by after-effects of Akagi’s illusion formation. 3. Kaidou with a serious and calculating look on his face.
Page 19
Ume: (thoughts) … Kaidou has probably heard of Gaokong’s death by now. (looking at Yamabuki) Yamabuki… you look like you wanna pin it all on me. Being fired would actually be a blessing in disguise though. …But also I don’t wanna set off Kaidou’s wrath…what to do…
Yamabuki: Yes/Here (raising her hand)
Nobimaru: Yamabuki-dono of the Ministry of Environment.
Yamabuki: I’d like to report on the weapon-delivery mission.
Inari: Unnecessary.
Page 20
Inari: I don’t care. Anyway, Mikage, can you explain our plan to everyone?
Mikage: Eh? Ah.. Yes. Th- this is a proposal for the kaij-, eh ma- mamono meant to protect Tokyo. Please refer to the information at hand.
Page 21
Mikage: The Tokyo Skytree renovation project, turning it into Radio Tower ii
The concept behind it is based on the idea of ‘clones’ of Lady Inari. Lady Inari’s DNA has been mixed with coma and injected into the bodies of human females. An antenna function has been implemented as well. This will strengthen the control over people using airwaves rather than scent and allow Lady Inari’s messages to reach every corner of the country.
Page 22
Mikage: This beautiful tower will become the new landmark of Tokyo and there are plans to install such towers nationwide. As for the construction period: The young organisms will have to parasitize the Tokyo Skytree for about one week until they are fully grown.
Hoshikuma: One week…
Inari: A big ceremony will be held one week after II is completed. Raigo!
Raigo: HUH?
Inari: End the isolation (of Japan). I want to invite the President of the United States. And not just America but leaders of all countries will understand my vision through II. And my vision is “World Peace”. It’s about homogenization and getting everyone to think the same way.
Page 23
Inari: “Peace” does not require combat jets and missiles. (Although Inari speaks, the panel shows Kaidou with a very sour expression)
After the meeting
Mikage: (running after Kaidou) Kaidou-kun!! Wait… it’s not… it’s not how it seems.
Kaidou: What is it then?
Page 24
Kaidou: Out of everything that’s possible… you chose the concept that’s reminiscent of the American masterpiece “King Kong”. To some degree that feels like a snide jab towards me.
Mikage: I didn’t do this to betray you. But Inari-sama is my benefactor. She’s just as important to me as you are.
Kaidou: You’ll have to choose one or the other.
Mikage: Then it’s you, Kaidou-kun.
Page 25
Mikage: What I love most is when you listen to me with a happy face. I just want to talk about Kaiju again, please don’t hate me (sobbing all the way)
Mikage: Ah? Wh- what is it?? (Kaidou looking at Mikage)
Page 26
Kaidou: (big smile) Is that why you turned into a female ape?
Mikage: I met your wife and she can meet you everyday without having to do anything.
Kaidou: Hahaha, I haven’t seen my wife in a week.
Mikage: Eh?
Kaidou: I only LOVE Kaiju. (He might love them a little too much if you ask me)
(He goes down on his knees and holds Mikage’s face)
It seems there is only one week left, until then the II-parasites are fully grown.
Page 27
Kaidou: What will you do for my sake, If I am so important to you?
Switch to our group, Urabe is loading the restrained Kanetake into the tanuki-express
Kabane: Well then… we’ll just send it all to you, Dr. Thin?
Thin: (over com) OK! About Kanetake… thank you. Leave it to me to take care of him. (lit. leave his life-support to me)
Page 28
Thin: Concerning the virus, I’ll need some time. In a week we should be able to analyze its components and re-create a vaccine.
Kon: A week…?
Kabane: That’s a little while…
Aya: What’re you talking about!? That’s super fast.
Shiki: I don’t think they’ll be quiet during that time. They probably know that we’re on the move. Can we really just wait patiently? Inari and her ministers won’t let us just relax and wait.
Kabane: I wonder if I can talk to Mikage…
Shiki: Huh!?
Kabane: I think Mikage is still just “a child”. He is doing bad things because he wants to be useful to Kaidou.
Page 29
Kabane: Maybe he’s struggling.
Shiki: We don’t have time for that! Whether he/she/it is a brat or whatever his/her/their actions come with consequences! You wanna make Yashima deal with another Kaede? No way!!
Kabane: I’ll keep watch… (over Mikage should he be in Yashima? Is that what you’re suggesting!? Oh, Kabane you pure little thing)
Shiki: You said the same thing before but you’ve been gone for 3 years!
Kabane: Uh… uhhh…
Kon: I never thought about it but if he/she/it were on our side, it’d turn the tides of battle.
Shiki: In any case, the toll on Yashima would be too big and there’s no doing it without telling them (well most of all Iyo) anyway. I’m going home now cuz I wanna see Akira!
Kabane: un… (sound of agreement)
Page 30
Switch to Yamabuki and Mayu on a rooftop
Mayu: Yamabuki… Are you feeling down?
Yamabuki: Am I giving off the impression?
Mayu: Because Inari-sama didn’t listen to your report?
Yamabuki: Yeah… but well. II is far better than Kaidou’s toys (it’s actually “weapons” but I think “toys” sounds nice here) At least it looks better.
Mayu: You can say that.
Page 31
Yamabuki: And that ‘cloning’ technology is not bad either. Wouldn’t it be the ideal means to achive your ‘sparkly world’?
Mayu: …
Yamabuki: Oh? What’s wrong?
Mayu: Hey, Yamabuki… What should Mayu do for the sake of the sparkly world?
Yamabuki: Stay by my side?
Mayu: YAMABUKIIIII <3 <3 <3
Page 32
Switch to the Kemono-Agency, the place is wrecked and only Mihai is still in his room.
Mihai: Suddenly, I can access Youtube!? (Wasn’t it TalkTube before) What’s going on? Now that I, the Elon Musk of Transylvania, have done all the work to create a domestic social networking site to provide entertainment to humanity in those empty days, the information control comes to an end?
(I demand compensation for the pain translating that speech bubble caused me)
Mihai: Hm? (He gets a call from Inugami) Are you risking (a call) behind your owner’s back?
Inugami: Ah, she seems to be in a good mood today.
Mihai: So the dog is on the loose. (Cuz Tanuki are related to dogs and stuff and Inari has Inugami caught and stuff thx Messy, I wouldn’t have managed that one as fast.)
Inugami: It’s in a week.
Mihai: What?
Inugami: Sorry for keeping you waiting. I can finally fulfill your “request”.
Page 33
Inugami: The preparations for your place to die [your coffin] are done.
Page 34
Final page is a shot of the young II-Mamono starting to parasitize the Sky-Tree with tendrils.

Very bizarre headcanon / idea
Television Demon starts shit but accidentally crashes the movie night for the Hotel. He'd been in full overlord form angling for the radiotower side of the new hotel, screaming in a garbled static because he was incoherent with rage after Alastor taunted him mid-show.
Alastor being a cheeky little fucker, pops open a window to ask Vox if he'd care to comment on the rumours the last callers had raised? That Vox was built like a kendoll with detachable attachments.
Vox is pissed primarily because he knows Alastor knows that's only half true... but he's having trouble getting actual words to form outside of a thousand soundbytes screaming like a t-rex all at once, in response.
The Overlord form's main screen has to lower to stare at the radio demon, glaring in fury, to which Alastor laughs and narrates the situation to his listeners. Resting an elbow on the windowframe as he cups his face, grinning in genuine devilish joy to see the other so undone.
"Not helping the rumours, my good technological nightmare, by reacting like this... Now, since I have you here for an interview, would you care to comment on having something four foot long that glows AND vibrates? Really, Vox, I've heard of experimentation but this sounds like overcompensation to a morbid degree, is your little moth encouraging such insanity?"
"Ksshzzt -o0u wi-wi-WISHhhhh, Fuc-Fuc-FUcccKKKK3333r..."
"...not particularly, no. Shall I take that as confirmation? Excellent. Dear listeners, it appears that our unexpected guest is trying to work out how best to goad me outside without destroying the foundation of the hotel that his majesty, Lucifer, remade with his own power for dear Princess Charlotte. I doubt his little highness would be too magnanimous towards anyone who destroyed it again..."
He laughs wildly, the sound distorting into a warbling noise of threat as a sharp bolt of electricity made contact.
"Dear listeners, it appears that the little picture box is seeking to play rough and tumble... so do forgive my ending this little show early in order to entertain his foolishness. Enjoy the preprogrammed selection of music, and have a blood-soaked night of your choosing."
A record clicked over automatically as the microphone switch flicked off. Alastor launches himself out the window, growing in size, as the door to his tower snaps open, with a worried Charlie and scowling Husk yelling at him to stop.
The tech overlord makes an earsplitting metallic screech as he fell back, slamming harshly into ground outside with the full demonic form of the radio demon on his chest, the jaw unhinging to laugh... and then to bite.
Vox ejects electricity into the other's chest, right where he knew adam had hit the guy, his cables parrying the tendrils, to elicit an agonised howl of grinding static and an animalistic screech.
Sharp claws descend to tear off one of his secondary screens, blood and fluid begins to cover them both. Red and blue, Vox enjoys that he managed to reopen that poorly concealed wound, and taunts Alastor over the airways.
"GUYS, STOP!" Charlie shouts, throwing down a blast of her musical fireworks to try and distract. They burn the respective skins of two overlords, long enough for the front doors to burst open and admit the furious tiny monarch...
"Just WHAT do you think you're doing on the grounds of MY DAUGHTER'S HOTEL?" he yells, a menacing ball of hellfire in one hand. Or, it had been... because suddenly both OVerlords are being engulfed in the licking nightmare, as Lucifer flew himself closer, grinning.
"Not so powerful now, are we? Don't try to put it out, only I can... hellfire, you know? Hah. You two stop this and I'll even let you regenerate a bit before I toss you both out of here for ruining movie night."
"Dad, stop! Remember the mercy thing we talked about?" Charlie yells, Husk helping her down via his seldom-used wings, because the alternative was Charlie jumping out the window without thought to her safety. Lucifer snaps the flames away as she approaches, leaving charred OVerlords growling at him. "Alastor, I need you to stop fighting Mr Vox... it looks bad for the hotel... and Mr Vox, please make an appointment before coming here."
A tendril pats her on the head and pointedly moves her out of reach as Vox blasts another round of electricity directly into his chest. Alastor responds by gouging at his arm until it dangled loosely.
"I. Said. STOP!" Lucifer Commands, blasting the pair with his aura. IT feels like a sledgehammer coming from every angle.
Vox and Alastor emit something warped and primal, forced out of OVerlord form by the King. Vox noted, with dizzy satisfaction, that Alastor had gone pale as he clutched his chest... near insensate from the resonance.
Seizing the opportunity, he flips them, pinning Alastor and catching both wrists to send bursts of controlled charge at the other in a rapidfire assault that finally overwhelms the smug fucker. Vox finds himself hurled off the radio demon by a large angelic wing, blinking rapidly to locate the King looking down at him with distinct distaste.
"Sinner, you test my patience... at least the bellhop had the sense to stop when I forced you both apart." His features were equally blank when he stared at the bloody mess of both Overlords, before grinning as he raised a hand. "I think you need some time out, hmm? Let's get you back to that little tower of yours and out of my hair."
"FfffuCCcKKk" Vox feels himself on the fritz, mind computing a dozen plans in microseconds, trying to locate a loophole. The little princess was kneeling by Alastor, her hands already bunching up her red blazer and applying it with force to the bleeding gash that lay beneath the clothes.
Husk, the drunken sot, positioned himself between them to ensure Vox didn't have line of sight access.
In a panic, he hurls himself into the nearest phone on the King's hip, and then back down so he was behind the Princess. The King hurtled towards the Overlord, who shoved Charlie and Husk backwards with a burst of electricity as he snatched at the Radio Demon.
Lucky the fucker was part tech, because it made it easier to fold their physical forms down into electricity and hurl them towards the nearby line. In his panic, Vox goes downstream instead of up, and this little fuck up meant they ended up in the hotel itself... ironically, in a way that even Alastor may have laughed at, in the television itself.
Lucifer, outside, tries to summon the pair back to him, but something... goes wrong.The TV sparks, screen static and coloured lines, as the Overlords and their angelic injury hindered smooth translation back to physical form.
Angel yelps, falling over the back of the couch with Niffty in one arm, Kiki in another, Fat Nuggs in a third and a distinctly startled Vaggie tucked under a fourth. It was quite the spectacle.
The tech begins to scream, as does the DVD player, until the room began to light up in a way that seemed to suggest an explosion was at hand.
And then... it stopped.
Whatever the fuck that was, it settled right back into the DVD menu screen with the occasional blip and flicker.
"What?"
"Charlie, hun? Something's fucked with the tv?"
Charlie, skidding inside, takes note of the sudden change to the screen. "Oh no..."
----------
Waking up in an unfamiliar militaristic location were two confused humans who felt like something was trying very hard to add memories and information to their brain.
They're on a ship, a massive one, and it seems full of fanciful sci-fi nonsense that the unexplained information they now just Know calls 'Jaegers'.
"Well picture box, we're in quite the odd situation..." says a filter-less but polished voice. "I have no idea what is happening, would you?"
Vox, or the human he once was, is staring up at the nearest robot. "No fuckin' way..." He knew that thing. He'd seen it in a recent movie Vel had demanded they watch... he'd loved it of course. Soemthing about tech fighting giant eldritch monsters was both sexy and satisfying...
"Al I-... fuck." He'd turned to face the other, and jerked back in surprise at the unexpectedly hot dude standing behind him. Shit, they were human here? He immediatley touched his own face, and shuddered, feeling flesh not components. "I have a proper face again? And you're hot in life too? What the fuck..."
"Yes, you do indeed seem human again and it's not the worst face I've seen so congratulations. Now would you-... EXCUSE ME?" If he could have emitted radio screech, he would have. "What did you call me?"
"Hot, you stupid fucking idiot. Oh I am committing this to memory..." Vox replies, looking at his face in the nearest glass he can find, noting that other people didn't seem to interact with them right now. Could they not see them, or were they deviating from the plot too much? Who fucking cared.
He was also not about to cry over getting his face back. He wasn't.
"...that aside, would you know where we are?"
"No idea how or why but I think between my abilities, your corrupted injury and magic, and Lucifer trying to grab us out of the stream... we might have ended up in a movie? Pacific Rim?"
"That was scheduled for movie night, yes... but how is that..."
"Wait, are you still injured in here?"
"...it appears not. That is at least on our side. Now, can you explain to me more about this place?"
And that's when the first Kaiju alert came in.
---------
"I knew you were a stalker, Vox, but literally connecting to my brain via this neural handshake? Didn't you already try that with your cables when we fought years before?"
"Different scenarios. This one is reciprocal, you see some of my shit... just don't linger on any of it or you'll get stuck in it."
"Alright, same to you... nothing you may see is of any importance anymore."
The neural handshake finds enough commonality from their lives in Hell as friends and business partners, to make it snap together.
"Excellent, now... how do we move this thing?"
They pilot a clearly hastily renamed main plot device, uh, Jaeger called RadioStatic. Vox keeps laughing, but Alastor is confused about the whole injoke even with their brains connected.
After some experimentation and the realm's insistence on shoving false memories in their heads, the pair manage to attend to the oncoming Kaiju with only mild issues. They overcome it, which causes the world to shudder and change... Vox later explains that in the original story, the kaiju won, killing one of the pilots and traumatising the other.
The whole story diverges, with the exception of the persistent incoming kaiju...and Alastor beating the tar out of the fellow with the terrible australian accent. He's not sure why, but it irks him.
-----
Watching the whole situation with horror from the couch, the Hazbin Hotel staff are both amused and anxious. Knowing that the overlords were trapped in there until the credits (they hoped) ejected them back to Hell again... and Charlie wsa feeling guilty for watching the few moments of easy camaraderie arose between the two.
Cherri, and when did she get here? Was cheering for human alastor as he beat the fake aussie accent guy and his equally annoying son...
As the kaiju became more elaborate and dozens of jaegers went down, tension began to rise. The main plot had been abandoned, no one knew how this would end...
Something unexpected occurred, as the penultimate moment arose with RadioStatic and one of the older jaegers move towards the portal in the ocean, battling kaiju of increasing complexity.
Vox finds he now has access to his electricity, which he funnels through the jaeger. Alastor can use his green fire again, also changing the tide of battle.
Something was different though, more kaiju than in the original were flooding through. It didn't make sense.
RadioStatic was rent in two, neither pilot able to eject safely as they fumbled to break their mechanical seals to the Jaeger and one another. The large cat 5 in front of them, nicknamed on the fly as Val's Fury because Alastor thought he was hilarious, used several of their titanic legs to slam the jaeger under the waves.
In a moment of absolute horror, the Hazbin Hotel and King have to watch both men drown onscreen... and suddenyl an intriguing but potentially easily resolved situation becomes Too Real.
"Why aren't they snapped back here? I thought..."
"Shit, how do we even help?"
Lucifer isn't sure how to even start extracting the others... when the porblem solves itself. Red eyes snap open, and then an underwater explosion of blue, of green, subsumes the bodies.
With a wide grin crossing two changed faces, the pair expand and rise. No longer human, back to their Sinner bodies... and rapidly enlarging to kaiju-esque proportions in their overlord forms.
"No fuckin' way..." Angel breathes, eyes wide.
"I do believe you were being rude, little lizard..." Alastor intones, and begins to tear the thing apart, as Vox's cables deliver targeted shocks to weak points. They never strike the other, or get in the way, some part of the neural handshake was likely still in progress...
Vox claws the eyes out of the creature, as Alastor gouges out whatever it has for a throat with his gaping maw. Blue glowing goo coats both overlords, as the creature collapses.
They turn to take on some of the lower categories, lifting ejection pods out of the way when they saw them. The sea began to glow blue with the carnage about the pair.
It was as epic as it was hilarious, with a few of the downed jaeger pilots tucked amongst Vox's many screens and cables, and holding onto the wide branches of Alastor's antlers as the last of the original rangers, Pentecoste, blows the portal shut.
The pair of OVerlords waded back towards a nearby incoming Jaeger retrieval ship, returning each of the rescued humans to the vessel. Some part of them might be feleing altruistic, but it could also be the realm they were in influencing their sense of caring about each of the tertiary characters and their wellbeing...
Charlie was hoping for the former, because she was vibrating with joy at the idea that perhaps not even overlords were beyond saving.
Predictably, the moment some high ranking whatever the movie's system was had said something about their thanks for the assistance... weapons were aimed at the Overlords. Helicopters, air aircraft guns, another Jaeger and several smaller guns held by people on deck. No matter how the rescued yelled at their comrades to stop, why would they do this?
Eventually, the constant bombardment caused enough damage that the OVerlords went down, as planned.
An order goes out to gather them and harvest what they could to learn how the pair did this, how to replicate it.
The sea was turning a very particular mixture of red and blue, mingling with the blinding glowing blue...
The screen zooms in on the tertiary characters as someone makes a poignant statement about how humanity was the true monster all along... and the credits slam onto screen with a sharp music sting.
At that point, the television stuttered and began to glow violently as two thankfully normal-sized 7ft sinners appeared in a sodden mass before the couch. Sending the others into a flurry of frantic activity.
Lucifer eventually calmed everyone with only minimal raised voices.
He snaps his fingers to dry the pair and floor, erasing some of the blood. "Alright, just because that was entertaining and I need to work out how they did it, I'll give them a once-over..."
His Majesty makes a show of distaste as he heals the pair, including the worst-kept secret in the hotel... Adam's little lovetap. He washed his hands twice after absorbing that essence.
Angel eventually ends up picking up Alastor and putting him on one of the extra couches the king manifests, and hesitates over Vox. Given the guy watches Val hurt him, it's not hard to say the spider was less inclined to help him... but kindness in his battered heart wins out, and he puts the other on a soft surface.
-----
The real question is whether the outcome will be positive, negative, awkward, affectionate or just a mess.
Do they snap awake and demand a rematch with those fuckers in that fake movie military?
Do they refuse to acknowledge anything happened?
Does Vox decide to out Alastor's secret collar, because he saw how it happened in the neural link and Vox isn't held to a vow of silence like Alastor?
Do Alastor and Vox have to confront that perhaps their friendship is over / has the chance to start over? Or if there are deeper feeling there?
How do you react when someone has literally seen the deepest moments of your life?
Etc.

Alright, as a heads up before I block your blog, in case you didn't know, since you deserve to have full information of why you may get extremely negative reactions to some things you've been posting here and an opportunity to learn and grow:
Lysandre of Team Flare literally wanted to kill everyone on the planet that didn't buy into his particular little group
Ghetsis literally tried to blow up Unova while running a literal cult. I can personally attest to this one, I was 11 when it happened. It was... bad. I will spare you the details, but ask anyone who was alive at the time what went down
Anyone who was in Goldenrod at a certain time will absolutely despise you thanks to an incident involving Rocket, and Archer specifically, taking over a radiotower by force, holding the crew hostage, and blasting all stations with crap about Rocket and Giovanni back in the day when they are simply organized crime
Cyrus lead a doomsday cult
Multiple of these guys would personally want me dead, when I'm just trying to live my life as a grad student and have never done anything to them or interacted with them personally. You are... not going to get a friendly result for a lot of these. Talking about these guys as if they're harmless villains in a work of fiction actually is dangerous to someone like me potentially. Especially since many of them are still alive and at large.
I HIGHLY recommend you stick to fictional, in your locale at least, characters if you are going to write fiction and fan out over someone with these sorts of traits.
From your header, you're just teens, so you probably did not know most of this, and probably haven't had the opportunity to stop and think about all the implications of the actions and beliefs of these real life individuals after being fully informed.
I'll just say that you can do better, and I will be disappointed if you do not do your own research on what these individuals did and reflect on what writing and posting large amounts of fan content might do to vulnerable individuals and those impacted by them and their organizations.
Okay honey ❤️ I get that you and many others get so easily offended over every little thing, but perhaps I could entertain you with some cold hard facts. So I would like to remind that this is just fiction. Okay? Fic. Tion. It harms nobody. It's just pixels and dots on the screen. Dumb antis like you just can't handle complex topics and harass people because you think everything is a crime. The only harm that your doing is harassing my friends for literally no reason. So stop acting so high and mighty because a fictional ship makes you soooo mad, okay? Okay ❤️❤️
-🍎
