@ygorarepairweek tagging cuz my entries haven't been reblogged so far

“Rally… Are you sure we’re not lost?” Leo raised an eyebrow at the taller boy as he caught up to him.

Rally had stopped at a crossroads. Both routes lead down the mountain they'd hiked up, but because of that, they both looked practically identical, save for a stray boulder or fallen branch.

Sweat formed in Rally’s hairline. If he was being honest with himself, they’d been lost for a while. But he couldn’t tell Leo that! Leo would just freak out and if that happened, it would take them even longer to find the right way home! So Rally kept up the lie.

“Of course we’re not lost,” Rally insisted with a shrug and a chuckle. “What do you take me for?”

Leo frowned. “Someone who’s lost, honestly.”

“Well, I’m not!” Rally took Leo's hand, his tone boisterous. “Growing up in the Satellite gave me an innate sense of direction!”

“Yeah, for the city clearly! Not the wilderness!”

Panic slipped into Leo’s voice, making Rally stiffen. He’d been trying to give Leo a fun day out when he suggested they take this trail, not stress him out even more!

“We’re not in the wilderness, Leo,” Rally insisted, taking both of Leo’s hands this time. “We’re on a nature trail.”

“What’s the difference?!” Leo’s eyes were wild. “What’s stopping us from running into a lion or a wolf out here?!”

Rally couldn't bite back a chuckle. “The fact that neither of those animals live in this country.”

“O-oh…” Leo’s eye twitched a bit. “They don't?”

“No, they don’t. And there aren’t going to be any other dangerous animals out here. This place isn’t wild: it’s tamed countryside specifically for people to go on safe nature walks.”

“Well…” Leo’s shoulders relaxed a little. “I guess if you’re sure…” He looked back at the split path ahead. “So… Which way then…?”

“Um…”

Rally let go of Leo’s hands, turning away and discreetly flipping a coin on his finger. It landed on heads.

“This way!” Rally pointed to the left path, taking Leo’s hand in his other hand.

“Did you just flip a coin?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Ha!” Rally forced a laugh as he led Leo down the left trail. “Good one, Leo!”

“I wasn’t- EEK!” Leo suddenly broke off with a squeal of alarm.

Rally flinched when a new weight was flung against his chest, making him stop in his tracks and instinctively throw his arms out to catch whatever it was. Turns out it was Leo jumping into his arms.

“LIZARD!” he yelled out, pointing at something.

“What?! Really?!” Rally perked up excitedly at the idea of a lizard.

Tilting his head to the side to see around Leo, he indeed caught a glimpse of a little green lizard darting off the edge of the trail and into the thick leafy undergrowth.

Rally frowned in disappointment. “Aww. I barely got to see it.”

“Lucky!” Leo wrapped his arms around Rally’s shoulders, and Rally noticed Leo was trembling. “That was so creepy! You said there wouldn’t be any wild animals out here!”

“I didn’t think we’d see a lizard,” Rally admitted in earnest. “But I wouldn’t really call a lizard ‘wild’. They’re pretty harmless to humans. A lot of people even have them as pets.”

“W-wha-? Really?!” Leo lifted his head, still not getting out of Rally’s arms as he met his gaze.

“Yeah.” Rally smiled a bit. “I honestly think lizards are really cute.”

“Well I don’t… And I don’t wanna be anywhere near another one! So! Why don't you just…” Leo gripped Rally's shoulders. “Carry me back to the city!”

Rally chuckled a bit. He thought Leo was being a little immature but wasn’t gonna complain about getting to carry him.

“Okay, no problem,” Rally replied with a shrug, continuing down the left trail.

“Thanks!” Leo’s eyes went wide for a moment. “I mean! Not that I was scared! I just didn’t want to accidentally step on a lizard since you love them so much!”

“Uh huh, uh huh.” Rally couldn’t keep the disbelief out of his tone.

It was beyond obvious that Leo was scared, Leo always tried to act tough when he was scared. Rally didn’t mind it though; it was kinda cute.

After a while of walking, Rally stopped in his tracks at the sight of two familiar figures up ahead on the trail.

“Is that…?”

“Yusei! Luna!” Leo, seemingly forgetting his fear, hopped right out of Rally’s arms and booked it down the path.

“Leo! Rally!” Luna brightened at the sight of them.

“Hey, Yusei!” Rally ran up to them as well, his hand on the back of his neck. “So you came out to find us or are you guys lost too?”

Leo staggered back with a horrified gasp. “So we WERE lost?!”

“Not anymore,” Yusei assured them quickly, dipping his head. “We figured you two might be lost so we all went out looking for you.”

“All of you?” Rally bit his lip.

Luna nodded. “Jack, Akiza, and Crow each took a different path.” She turned to Leo with an annoyed frown. “You were gone so long we got worried!”

Leo broke into a nervous chuckle. “Sorry, Luna. But I was fine! Rally was with me the whole time!”

“Yeah, I kept him safe from all the scary lizards,” Rally teased, nudging Leo's side.

H-hey! -Leo's face was bright red as he exclaimed, -I wasn't scared! I just didn't wanna hurt your feelings by accidentally stepping on them.

Luna chuckled a bit. “Well, at least we found you. Come on, let’s get back to the city.”

“And get donuts?” Leo suggested with a bright smile as he followed his sister.

Luna rolled her eyes. “Pft. No way. You’re hyper enough as it is.”

“Aww!” Leo and Rally groaned in unison.

My sims adventures caused me to be attached to name Zafira because that's what I named my & ZEUS' daughter in Sims when I was creating us but ultimately deleted and now it won't leave me alone

My favorite background track in 5D's has to be "Sad End"

I always gets me emotional (maybe because it involves so many death scenes). It truly conveys a feeling of...farewell

I know the show plays most of the sequence where Rally and the others push Yusei's broken runner all the way to Martha's for laughs, but honestly? I think it says a lot about Yusei as a person that pretty much all his friends are completely ride-or-die, with the Satellite quartet even going so far as to ditch all their cards at a moment's notice just to save Yusei's runner when push comes to shove, especially when you think about how much value cards have in yugioh. I'm just saying, that's a kind of loyalty I don't think many people could inspire.

I dont wanna derail the convo around the boyvoice thing. Specifically transfems being comfortable with perceived masculine aspects of themselves. But i do wanna understand why everyone except transfems seems peeved by that

Im not a transman but i consider myself transmasc and i still like when that bit of high school girl peeks through despite me bein affirmed by being masc. I know other transmascs do too and tbh id hope that all trans people are able to love shit bout themselves that probably wouldve been labeled as dysphoric before sooooo like whats with the insistence of affirming transfems and their feminity when theyre not asking you for that. And then punishing them for challenging what that means for them personally like

Listen. Listen.

Yusei says himself that getting the Momentum system up and fully realized is for his parents, not for him. And, now that their work has come to fruition, he's stepping away from the project and wondering what to do next. And we know from the flash-forward that he hasn't made a dueling appearance in quite a few years, so it's not like he stopped working at MIDS to focus on fame and glory. Presumably, he doesn't come out of card game retirement unless he wants to, or thinks it will be fun.

He hung up his labcoat and the next thing we see him doing is hosting a backyard barbecue. He wants to have a small and quiet life. Just let him fiddle with his machines and grommets, and he'll be happy.

It also sets up the comedy scene where one day someones car is making a funny noise, so they go into their local mechanic's shop, you know, one of those little mom and pop joints, the owner's sweet, he's reliable. And as he's examining under the hood, the lights in the garage flicker, and he just kind of mutters "Oh yeah, they're probably running maintenance on block B1-17."

"Oh? You know a lot about the city's energy infrastructure?"

A pause.

"I built it."

So I know the general consensus is that, post-series, Yusei continues to work at MIDS, and I like that idea too -- he's certainly smart enough, after all -- but also. I like the idea of him just wanting A Very Quiet Life after everything and going back to being a mechanic. Like, MIDS is obviously a good use of his skills and all, but also he's just a dude who likes to work with this hands and MIDS wouldn't really be that. (Of course MIDS would call him every time something breaks and he would go fix it, but he's not someone who likes being in the spotlight and he would vastly prefer it if they'd just leave him alone.)

Anyway, this post isn't really going anywhere other than to say that Mechanic!Yusei lives rent-free in my head.

Ahhh!! Rally!

Hit me with some info about Custom of Fell Deeds pretty please?

TEEHEE

wip folder game

so this one is mostly in the concept stage still, but it's on the "when main wips hit block time" board. it was inspired by one of my all-time favorite movies, the death of stalin, and. well. honestly if you've seen the movie yeah that's the fic, we're doing death of stalin but make it the hegemony

the title comes from marc antony's famous speech in shakespeare's julius caesar, the same monologue that gave us "cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war". i have a few different fics planned that take their titles from that monologue, just because it's very fitting for the hegemony and the resistance as a whole. carrion men is a post-retaking of khar'shan examination of rebuilding, cry havoc is the formation of the resistance, etc. the specific line in use here is "All pity choked with custom of fell deeds", in reference to the hegemony's bloated, decaying culture and how the most horrific of sapient rights abuses are just commonplace and accepted because things have become so dire. but that's another discussion :)

effectively, this would be a big exploration of hegemony politics, i'm thinking right around the time of the hegemony closing their embassy on the citadel protesting humanity's expansion. the conclave, the ruling body and highest caste of the hegemony, is ostensibly elected, but passed laws to make themselves god-emperors for life and their seats hereditary many generations ago. when the speaker of the conclave, nokosvin pron'kerak, unexpectedly falls gravely ill in his home, his inner circle are thrown into a crisis of succession - nokosvin is unlikely to recover, but his only children are unable to take command, and now what?

nokosvin's second-in-command, ibaros krok'kah, takes command in his stead, but there's dissent in the ranks. sekath kherbavan, nokosvin's very best and favorite ass-kisser, sees himself as the true successor, and schemes to pull the rug out from under ibaros's feet. prathar has his own machinations, and sees an opportunity to take power himself by helping sekath, as does his usual crony ratosk. shahok hates all of these options, and rallies others to help him pull strings and quietly set everything up for a domino fall in the future.

and then nokosvin dies, and everything gets worse, because it comes out that his claim to his family's authority was never verified at all, and he legally shouldn't have even been allowed near the conclave chambers, much less running it.

it's gonna take a lot of 5d chess outlining but honestly. i cut my teeth in this fandom on writing xenopolitics fic, i LOVE political machinations bullshit, it would be such a fun little project to chew on for a while.
