20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks to @the-ravening for the tag.

1. How many works do you have on ao3? 68, apparently.

2. What's your total ao3 word count? 1,906,252

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently Captain America (which no one saw coming, but here we are).

4. Top five fics by kudos:

No Familiar Sunken Roads (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy, extreme underage)

[Fan Comic] A Lovely Shade of Cherry (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy, extreme underage)

[Fan Art] A Gentleman’s Suit (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy, extreme underage)

[Art] Blow (Captain America, Steve/Bucky)

[Fan Art] Fear and Delight (The Boys, Homelander/Butcher)

Number 6 is finally back to fic. I hadn’t realized some of the art got that high. I never look at works by kudo count.

5. Do you respond to comments? I try to, but I very often fall off.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably NFSR, for where it is and how long it’s run and what they’ve gone through to get there, but it technically hasn’t ended yet and I hadn’t intended for it to stay that way.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Uh. Maybe Echoes (BBC Sherlock, Moriarty/Mycroft, de-aged/extreme underage) or Arms and the Boy (Fantastic Beasts, Grindelwald/Credence, extreme underage). Both are very iddy-happy endings.

8. Do you get hate on fics? More rarely than you’d think, but occasionally.

9. Do you write smut? I don’t think I’ve written anything without smut.

10. Craziest crossover: Haven’t done a crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I don’t think so. If I’ve inspired anyone, I’m happy.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, mostly with Silus Locke. It’s been a long, long time, but it would be nice to co-write again someday.

14. All time favorite ship? You can’t make me choose.

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I want to finish all of them. Some I still have hope that I will. I suppose Devil’s Bridge might fit this best.

16. What are your writing strengths? I’m honestly not sure what my strengths are.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Brevity.

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language? No strong opinions. It works when the pov character isn’t meant to understand what’s being said. If they are, then it’s nice to have a translation nearby. If the translation is in the notes, it’s hard having to scroll down every time. Shrug.

19. First fandom you wrote in? Who knows.

20. Favorite fic you've written? No Familiar Sunken Roads (Kingsman, Harry/Eggsy, extreme underage)

[skydreamplayzz]

got some smoll informationen. ( this is also for myself, so no complaining if too much 😔 )

Name : Silus adachi

Family : Mom - Dead, Daughter -2 years old- deceased, Father - Alive, brother - Alive

Personality : Complex, Tidy, Apathetic, cold

Gender : Male

Weaknesses : eyesight is pretty bad ( sees blurry but on the right eye, almost blind. ), telling apart colors ( colorblind )

Height : 2m 18cm

Weight : 104kg

Likes : sour food, reading novels, listening to loud music, sushi

Dislikes : salty food, colorful buttons, the daily headaches

- He's a scientist, worked for a company and experimented on living beings.

didn't feel any kind of empathy for seeing the subjects suffer.

- Is colourblind since he was born. that's why he hates buttons.

-Was a father of a two year old. the mother was someone he didn't have a serious relationship with.

had to take care of the child on his own as the mother did not want it, it stressed him quite a lot, but did not want his child die while it was asleep..

- He decided that he does not want to have a birthday for unknown reasons and does not celebrate it.

- he wears a mask to cover up his mouth area. ( he hates the sharp teeth he got for some reason )

-He's tired 24/7

- He likes reading, but sometimes just stares at the book not even trying to read normally.

has his own room where he works on his stuff. ( one of the rooms with the glass tubes, but on the side with a small office and all the stuff he needs to survive )

- Drinks coffee like water if he has some.

- He loves the cold temperatures but often complains about them not wanting to admit he hates warm places.

- They can’t stand vague words, especially when it comes to science. If someone says “kind of” or “roughly,” they’ll immediately correct it to the exact number or term, and they’re unapologetically pedantic about it.

- If someone compliments them or their work, they usually respond with a scoff or a cutting remark.

if someone’s talking about anything they deem unimportant, they’ll zone out and blatantly ignore them. They’ll usually respond with an absent “Mm-hmm” or “Sure,” without even pretending to listen.

- Their notebooks are filled with sharp, angular doodles and dark scribbles in the margins. It’s like they’re venting their frustration into the paper.

- his desk in his office is MESSY.

They’re incredibly harsh on their own work and won’t hesitate to rip it apart if it doesn’t meet their impossibly high standards.

- If anyone dares bring up emotions, they’ll mutter something like, “Fascinating, but irrelevant to the work.” They find emotions tedious and completely unnecessary for anything important.

- They intentionally mispronounce names of people they dislike

- If they get an award or compliment, they’ll shrug it off like it’s meaningless and say something like, “Yes, well, some of us have standards.” They don’t need praise, but they’re clearly a little smug about it.

- Ingame: He just chills in his office, and sells certain documents for a high price. ( documents about the place and certain rooms dangers, and mostly batteries. rarely any medikits. )

his room would appears around door 75-85

I'm running out of stuff to say for New Ocs 🧍‍♂️.. BUT YEAH ANOTHER ONE.. Just a Scientist this time. Emo scientist, 🔥

My Phone started lagging so.. Had to stop sooner :'D

[nox-the-former-demon]

>>In this post, I, the former demon known now as Nox will detail my current situation. My position in the headspace of my headmate, the relationships I’ve managed to forge, and the peculiarities that surround me.

First, there was absolution. An emptiness that drained any sense of self from me. I had assumed that that was what second death felt like, what having your existence wiped out would be. When you see nothing, hear nothing, experience nothing, you first go mad, and then you go quiet, and you cease. All thought goes quiet and you feel the absolute nothingness that. An only be described as a disconnection from existence itself. This was my state of being for a long time as I recovered. It makes sense, all that had survived of me was my eye, not that I knew that at the time.

After the absolution, when I was fully recovered, absolute quiet became murmurs, whispers in the distance that cut the quiet and woke me from my seemingly eternal rest. As I open my eyes, I found myself in darkness, twisted and abstract. I was wandering, lost, following the sounds I heard in an attempt to find something. Anything. I didn’t know who o was, where I was, why I was. All I knew was that I was.

It was when I finally grew close enough to the source of the sounds that I could make them out clearly that I began to be able to act in any capacity. And I’ll admit, I was a bit of a dick. I could hear self lamentation, self hatred, and I decided to make it worse. To insult and chastise and just generally be a jerk. It was the only thing that felt appropriate in the moment. And while she couldn’t make me out clearly at first, Asa did hear. And she responded in some part. This made the rest of my journey out of the dark easier. Eventually I spotted a light. Eventually I found what would become our single room headspace.

That simple space, maybe 12 feet on any side, a perfect square, a pair of screens, a chair, and Asa. I didn’t recognize her at first. And she didn’t notice me at first either. I sat down, and I watched. Her drama was like a movie to me. I was the passive observer, like the passenger in the car of a road trip: I could speak to the driver, who may or may not acknowledge me, but I still didn’t have power yet. Not yet.

It was a while before that came. Before Asa started to realize that I wasn’t just her self doubts. The thing that tipped us was her first big breakdown. Emotions ran heavy, and she couldn’t handle it, so she fell out of the chair. It would have been a total shut down, but I was there. And I played with the controller some. I experimented. I did chores, spoke as if I was her. Establishing that I could have just as much control as Asa could. And eventually, she caught onto me.

We still didn’t know much about what I was yet. But my presence grew more and more undeniable until I was finally spoke directly to eachother by way of the app known as discord, a private server, speaking back and forth, seemingly to one’s self, but not. Our personalities clashed. We thought I was a splinter of hers at first, pieces that had broken off and started to exist on their own. That would prove wrong later when Asa would go to confide in someone else. When true coincidence, or maybe true fate, struck.

The person Asa had confided in was possessed by Silus, and I recognized him. And all my memories started to rush back. I did my best to try and tak Silus down, talk my son down from his rage, but it didn’t help. I’ll talk more about this later but what mattered was I was remembering. And once I remembered who I was, Asa did too.

It is at this point now where I need to explain those who surround me. Asa, my headmate, my murderer, my metamour… Asa had been born in such a condition that lead to her eventually going on to meet and marry Cariel’s reincarnation. Something Cariel had no doubt planned for as well. The pair of them lived their mortal lives together, four children in tow, followed by a pair of guardians. Flak, Asa’s brother from before being born again, watched Cariel, and Casella, another of Cariel’s servants, guarded and monitored Asa, intangible spirits who had at some point in the past been forced to come in contact with them, building interpersonal relationships by way of possession and communication. I was surrounded by my former enemies.

Before you ask, no, my presence wasn’t appreciated at first. They tried to get rid of me but they couldn’t. I was tangled too deep in Asa’s soul. At first, the plan was for me to keep quiet. I had my confidants I’d speak to but nobody else. But… well, now that I was alive again, mortal again, I started to grow lonely.

And eventually, I had to make my presence known. First to Cariel, or rather, to Nel. Nel was the person who needed to know first because to be frank, never talking aloud was maddening. Nel wasn’t thrilled by it, but accepted it, albeit not without some threats. Honestly it was a massive shift from the Cariel I knew. As Nel, they were more… how to describe it… less holier than thou, more wrath of nature. It was refreshing in its own way. And it was around this point in time I decided I needed a new name. My old name didn’t suit me in my current state. It took a couple days, but the name Nox stuck.

Even then, only speaking to two confidants and Nel wasn’t enough. I slowly showed my existence in online spaces, and now, I’m a known presence among most of Asa’s social circles. And eventually… I made friends. And I even started to feel deeper emotions…

I’ll spare you the details. Nel and I eventually found common ground, started to get along. And now, we’re romantically intertwined. Nel isn’t the only person I can firmly say I love, there is another, but she doesn’t feel the same way, so I’ve accepted our relationship staying platonic. Furthermore, I’ve other friends, two of whom even see me as something of a mentor figure. For the first time in a millennium, I feel like I’ve actually felt alive…

That day, that day Asa begged Casella to kill my son… as horrible as that was to witness, it was the day that set in motion my return to humanity. It was the day that set in motion the Former to my demon status. It was the day my life started to begin anew. Asa and I. In a 12 by 12 room. A chair, a control station, a couch, a patio we can’t use, a lamp, a yellow dress for her and a charcoal suit for me… it’s not much. But it’s from this space that I’ve started to live again.

Asa is annoying as fuck though. The fact that Casella and she are a thing is also a pain since they’re both impulsive and chatterboxes, plus Nel and Asa’s children are intolerable some days, and not having my own face, ugh, I absolutely hate all of that. But… it’s a humble position in life that has helped me move on from the past I’d been broiling in for all those years.<<

Cynefin - ispravna odluka u svakoj situaciji

Kako znate da ste odabrali ispravan put za rješavanje nekog problema? Iskustvo? Intuicija? Možda samo puka sreća? Najučinkovitiji menadžeri svjesni su da rješavanje problema nije jedan jedinstveni proces koji odgovara svim situacijama. Oni su svjesni da njihovi postupci ovise o situaciji i donose odluke prilagođavajući svoj pristup svakoj situaciji individualno. Ali, kako znati koji pristup koristiti u određenoj situaciji? I kako izbjeći donošenje pogrešne odluke? Postoji efikasniji način - Cynefin Framework. Cynefin Framework je model odlučivanja temeljen na uzročno-posljedičnoj vezi. Promatranju uzroka, posljedica i veze između to dvoje, Cynefin modelom pozicioniramo se u kvadrant odlučivanja. Svaki kvadrant definira aktivnosti koje je potrebno poduzeti te preporučen redoslijed izvršavanja aktivnosti. Olakšava donošenje odluka u različitim situacijama - domenama. Najveća prednost Cynefin modela je izbjegavanje identičnog stila upravljanja u svim situacijama - jer nisu sve situacije iste. Cynefin je osmislio Dave Snowden 1999. godine u kontekstu upravljanja znanjem i organizacijske strategije. U naknadnim godinama je proširen teorijom kompleksnih sustava. Na razvoju dodatnog proširenja modela u područje menadžmenta sudjelovali su Cynthia Kurtz i Mary Boone. 2007 godine, u  Harvard Business Review objavljuju članak A Leader’s Framework for Decision Making za koji su dobili nagradu "Outstanding Practitioner-Oriented Publication in OB" Akademije menadžmenta. Dave Snowden pokrenuo je znanstveno istraživački centar Cynefin Co. Cynefin model pronašao je primjenu u gotovo svim granama industrije pa i u državnim tijelima. Od razvoja produkata, upravljanja odnosa s klijentima, upravljanja rizikom opskrbnog lanca pa do upravljanja u kriznim situacijama. Europska unija je izdala dokument upravljanja kriznim situacijama temeljen na Cynefin modelu. Cynefin model sastoje se od pet domena: clear, chaotic, complex, complicated i confusion. Nazivi domena su se mijenjali kroz godine, pa neka vas to ne zbuni ako ćete proučavati dodatnu literaturu. Nazivi navedeni u ovom članku su aktualni u vrijeme pisanja.

  Clear domena

Ova domena je područje "poznatih poznanica" (eng. "known knowns"). Domena u kojoj je jasan uzrok, posljedica kao i veza između to dvoje. Postupci u ovoj domeni su: - sense - prikupljanje činjenica - categorize - kategoriziranje činjenica - respond - primjena aktivnosti temeljem standardnih praksi Aktivnosti koje se primjenjuju u ovoj domeni su standardne i jasno definirane procedure. Primjer su standardne operativne procedure i najbolje prakse. Česta greška koja se događa je da se problemi  kategoriziraju u ovu domenu "na silu", u nedostatku informacija ili zbog površne analize situacije.

Complicated domena

Domena u kojoj su nam "poznate nepoznanice" (eng. "known unknowns"). Svjesni smo da nam nedostaje znanja. Poznat nam je uzrok i posljedica. Ali ne i relacija između navedenog. Za razumijevanje poveznice između uzroka i posljedice potrebna nam je analiza i ekspertiza. U ovoj domeni postupa se po koracima: - sense - prikupljanje činjenica - analyze - ekspertna analiza činjenica - respond - primjena dobrih praksi na temelju analize Problem s kojim se moguće susresti u ovoj domeni je pretjerano oslanjanje menadžmenta na znanje eksperata. Kako bi se mitigirao ovaj problem, skupite tim i slušajte kreativna rješenja i mlađih neiskusnih članova tima umjesto samo mišljenja eksperata.

Complex domena

Domena u kojoj su nam "nepoznate nepoznanice" (eng. "unknown unknowns"). Ne znamo da nešto ne znamo. U ovoj domeni ili ne znamo uzrok i vezu prema posljedici ili znamo uzrok ali ne znamo posljedicu i vezu prema posljedici. I jedno i drugi saznaje se isključivo u retrospektivi. Ovo je domena eksperimentiranja kako ne postoje pravi odgovori. Postupanje u ovoj domeni se odvija po redoslijedu: - probe - provođenje ograničenih eksperimenata - sense - prikupljanje činjenica iz izvršenih eksperimenata - respond - temeljem prikupljenih činjenica nakon eksperimenata ili se pomičemo u complex domenu ako je eksperiment uspješan ili ponovo eksperimentiramo ako je neuspješan

Chaotic domena

Domena u kojoj su nam nepoznati i uzrok i posljedica i veza između. Reagiramo trenutno kako nemamo informacija niti vremena prikupljati informacije. Stop the bleeding situacije. Koraci u ovoj domeni su: - act - djelujemo trenutno - sense - prikupljamo činjenice provedenih aktivnosti - respond - prilagodba djelovanja za novi ciklus aktivnosti ili pomicanje u Complex domenu ako se situacija poboljšala

Confusion domena

Situacija u kojoj nismo sigurni u kojoj domeni se nalazimo i, posljedično, koje korake trebamo poduzeti. Vrlo teško je prepoznati kada se nalazimo u ovoj domeni. Jedan od primjera prepoznavanja je trenutak kada se više osoba ne uspijeva usuglasiti gdje se trenutno nalazimo. Jedini cilj ovo domene je u što kraćem roku definirati u kojoj domeni bi trebali biti.

Ključna ideja

Ključna ideja Cynefin modela je da različite vrste situacija ili problema u kojima se nađemo zahtijevaju različite vrste aktivnosti koje je potrebno poduzeti. Cilj je identificirati u kojoj situaciji se nalazimo i - uz pomoć ovog modela - odlučiti se za odgovarajući set i niz aktivnosti koji će nam omogućiti efikasno rješavanje problema.

IDK ANYONE ELSE ON "THE SERVER"™️😭😭

But as for c!krabs??? I'd imagine it's around the start of the Las Nevadas arc. C!Silus works for the Syndicate bc they don't really make sound so it's way easy for them to spy on people. So they're sent out to spy on whatever tf is happening with Quackity and they run into c!krabs and is just like

🧍‍♀️👋

To which ckrabs responds with

🧍‍♀️👋

And from then on csilus started walking back to the Meeting Place (later to be discovered as the welding shop place thing) and vibing with ckrabs, listening to whatever she wants to talk abt and helping out where they can

When it comes to meeting other people, that would def come from ckrabs. Csilus doesn't like meeting people to begin with so any time one of ckrabs's friends stops by when csilus is around is gonna be the time for them to meet

RHWJUFISUD AS IN ON TH3 CANONICAL DSMP YOU WACKO LMFAO

BUT DAAAAWWWW THEIR DYNAMIC SOUNDS SO RELAXING AND CHILL AND COZY C!KRABS WOULD DEFFO LIKE C!SILUS FOR SURE THEYRE SUCH A NICE LITTLE FELLA FHSJRHJSRHHS VERY POLITE !!!

Furiends Episode 10: Birth of Heroes

The morning sun lights the entire town square up. Several colorful canvas tents are set up for today’s event; Marketplace Monday, which is an event where many small and big businesses come together to promote their products and services around the public space in front of city hall. Team Rescuers stand before the crowd of people, searching around the perimeter as they remain back from the event.

“Pretty crowded today,” comments Kenji. “A lot of people at Marketplace Monday.”

“Perfect for our plan,” Jay tells him. “Mom should be set up about now.”

“Remind me again on what’s happening,” asks Miffy.

Jay lowers his tone to a whisper. “Mom has gone to place some explosives under the square. They’re set to go off soon. Once that happens, we’ll go in and save the day.”

“Interesting,” Cindy says. “And how does this relate to the flawed brats?”

“Mom has fabricated some pieces apparel, based on their wears. She has planted them with the bombs. After we “save” everyone from the explosions, we look around and fish them out, showing everyone what a dastardly deed they’ve done.”

“There’s children and families in the square, though,” Miffy utters. “Won’t they be badly hurt or killed?”

The wolf darts his eyes at her. “Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices to get what you truly want, even if it means innocent people die.” He fixes his eyes on the square. “Once all of this goes off, those brats will be run out of town and never be heard of again. We’ll also make sure the whole world knows what they do. Get ready!” The four animals wait, keeping their eyes on the bustling fair as animals, tall and small, go from stall-to-stall. Several seconds go by, and yet not a single explosion can be seen.

Cindy looks to her companion. “So, what am I supposed to see here? Are they going off anytime soon?”

Jay shakes his head. “I-I don’t understand… They should’ve detonated by now… What’s happening?”

“Are you sure she set them up in the square?”

“She told me so this morning… How could she-”

“Hey, Jay,” Miffy interrupts. “Why are you on T.V.?” The wolf stops and looks at the flatscreen television overlooking the square, as does the crowd. His eyelids pull back as wide as they can be while watching himself talk to the hooded figure on the screen. His conversation continues to carry on with the cloaked being as they explain their plan for the orphanage and about setting up the friends. “What?!” Everyone in the watches with shock; their eyes wide-opened like the wolf. He and the team run into the center of the square with his glare still on the television. People in the audience point to him and accuse him of treachery.

“Listen,” Jay utters. “I can assure you, whatever is going on is some kind of trick. That all isn’t true!”

“Oh, it’s all true!” yells a voice. Everyone turns and traces the voice to the fox, who stands in front of the government building in blue goggles with matching-color cape, gloves, and tights. His paws positioned on his hips. “Team Rescuers are nothing but frauds and deceivers! They’re not concerned for anything; not your wellbeing, your safety, your wants and needs, but take their own desires more seriously.”

“Flawed Fox!” Jay takes a step forward, clenching his paws with aggression. “Why you-”

Emmy appears by Zach’s side, wearing her goggles, purple tank top vest with the same color gloves, but with darker-colored pants and belt. “They were going to blow up the square, along with all of you in it, and then put the blame on us to persuade you all that we were nothing but terrorists. That way, you’d run us out of town or even kill us!” The crowd gasps in shock.

“Are you kidding me?” Miffy asks.

“Afraid not,” shouts the brown cat, making herself visible on the fox’s other side. She dons a black jumpsuit with blue lines to highlight it, along with blue goggles. “They weren’t acting alone, either! They had a lot of help from the headmaster of the orphanage! It was very clear she, along with your “favorite hero team” were going to attack many innocent beings.”

Niji zooms by the warthog’s side with Eren jumping from his back. The rainbow-haired wolf has a mask to cover only his eyes, a blue shirt with a red and yellow ‘w’ on it, steel-blue pants, and red gloves while the deer covers himself in a grey hood and mask, along with a white and lavender sweat jacket and grey shorts buckled by a golden belt. Niji sets a pile of explosives he’d been carrying down. “Man, these things would’ve caused a massive number of casualties. We wouldn’t want that to happen, would we?”

“No indeed,” Eren adds. He takes out his wrench. “Best to make them all into scrap.” He whacks the bombs with his tool, changing them all to nothing but metal in one hit, dazzling the people.  

“We were able to stop your horrific plan just in time,” Zach claims. “You could’ve killed innocent people and children.”

“Flawed Fox!” utters Jay, pulling out a radio. “You didn’t think ahead with that, though! Come in, Mom. Those brats are here!”

“That’s where you’re wrong, Wolf,” shouts Navy, flying in and landing on her feet, showing off her costume which consists of pink mask and cape and a ring on her right wing, as well as a white pouch around her waist. “Your mother won’t be helping you out right now. She’s all tied up…”

The newt stomps in with the robed figure in his arms, then sets her down in front, showing the headmaster constrained in a set of ropes in her arms. His white jumpsuit with red lines are the opposite of Carly’s suit. His mouth and nose remain covered by a red mask. “One villain down, four more to go.”

“You’re not going to get away with faking anymore!” yells Emmy. “It’s time to come forward and accept your fate!”

“Yeah!” shouts Eren. “Your days of lying to people are over.”

“What would you all know about being heroes?” Cindy cries. “You don’t have what it takes to be courageous and cunning!”

“We are better than you, though!” shouts Carly. “We don’t go after harmless civilians and blame a group of unfortunate animals! You lot are too unethical to be called heroes!”

“I’ve had enough of this!” Jay sharpens his claws. The friends ready themselves, equipping their weapons and getting into fighting stances. “You will never beat us!”

“We shall determine that!” Zach retaliates. Jay immediately goes for the fox, but Zach blocks his attacks with his metal staff. Emmy pushes the wolf away and joins Zach, but soon Jay is aided by the monkey. Cindy and Miffy go after the bird and the newt. The four intertwine in engagement with fists, leaving Eren and the cat to struggle with keeping the headmaster contained. Niji helps guide the spectators of away from the area for safety before joining in the battle. The square stirs into chaos as the battle endures. tables are thrown and tossed around, tents are torn with animal claws, the sounds of clinging metal and shouting deafens other noises. The animals try to gain the upper hand on each other. Zach whacks the wolf away with his staff.

Jay growls. “I am impressed, Fox. But whacking me away will not do you any good!”

“There’s more where that came from, Jacob!” Zach responds. The wolf charges toward him, but Zach remains still. As Jay is three feet before him, the fox swings his staff at him, knocking the wolf into a fountain. Jay is quick to stand and charge toward the fox again. He is no match with Zach as he uses his mind to predict when the wolf will strike. Zach jumps into the air, then comes back down with his weapon against Jay’s head, knocking him down to the floor. The fox stands by his face and looks upon him. “You didn’t account for my new abilities.” He turns to see Emmy struggling with Kenji as he sways his tail at her. Zach runs over and kicks the monkey in the face, knocking him away. The fox then turns to the warthog. “You good?”

“Yeah, thanks,” Emmy replies. The two notice Kenji getting back up and holding out a wooden staff. “Uh oh!” The two animals prepare to battle him.

However, Niji zooms by and smacks him with his paw, causing the monkey to fly and hit the tent ahead, knocking him out. Niji looks to the two. “I’m sorry, Fellas. Did I steal your target?”

Zach smiles. “Not at all.”

Navy dodges some punches thrown by the cat. “Whoa! Nice kitty!”

“You dumb bird!” shouts Miffy. “You and your flawed friends will pay!”

“Don’t ever call me dumb!” The bird flaps her wings rapidly to push away the cat with her ability. Miffy gets up fast, then runs to her.

Carly immediately steps in, catching her in midair with her telekinesis, then drops her to the ground. “Man, you are one mean cat!” Miffy gets back to her feet. “Uh oh!”

“I’ll let you deal with her!” Navy changes into her lizard form to fight the sheep.

Carly quickly paints something in front of her. The beige cat pounces, but slams right into a wall spawned by Carly. Miffy struggles to stand, soon closing her eyes and falling into a deep sleep. The brown cat paints again, this time, some rope around her to keep Miffy in place. “That’ll teach you.” She is then smacked by Navy’s lizard tail. “Yow! Hey!”

“Sorry!” Navy tells her. “Just a bit distracted!” She evades the sheep’s attacks. “Whoa! You’re very feisty for a sheep!”

“You are so ugly as a lizard!” responds Cindy.

“Am I?” Navy then changes back to her bird form. “This better?” Cindy comes at her. “Oh!” The bird flaps her wings fast, creating a small tornado that gobbles Cindy and spins her around quickly. Once the tornado dissipates, the sheep stands, but wobbles. She sets her eyes on the bird and charges again, but her dizziness causes her to stumble. Navy places her foot on her back to ensure she stays down while Carly paints restraints on her hooves.

The headmaster pushes Eren off and knocks Silus back to stun them, then goes to pick up a wooden stake. She cuts herself free, then points it at Zach. “I will kill you for this, Flawed Fox!” She runs toward Zach with the wooden stake, but her attack is blocked by Emmy’s sword. The hooded figure tries desperately to hit the warthog, but when Zach aides her, the two repel her in an instant, disarming her weapon and kicking her back into a stone wall. The headmaster then takes the stake and throws it at them. Time slows for everyone except Eren, who walks over, faster than everyone else, and catches the stake in the air. The headmaster gets back up in anger and charges at them again, but is stopped by Silus, who stands in the way and grabs her hands with two of his own, then lifts her off the ground and tosses her at a nearby tent.

Eren reaches for his wrench and hits the little shelter, turning it into a jail cell for her. “There, that should hold her.”

“I… I can’t believe it…” Zach looks down at his paws, then at Team Rescuers. “I… I just saved people… I actually saved people!” A smile occupies his face. “I AM A HERO!”

“WE are heroes,” Emmy implies. “WE saved everyone in the square.” She gives him a smile. Zach reflects her expression and nods.

“Yeah!” cheers Niji. “We did it!” Navy joins him in celebrating.

“Hooray!” Eren shouts. Silus quickly picks him up and hoists him in the air. “Whoa! Hehe.” He then sets him back down.

“They won’t be deceiving and hurting people anymore,” Carly says. “Not after we exposed them for who they really are. People have now seen them for what they really are.”

Zach approaches the restrained hooded figure. “Looks like the tables have turned, Headmaster…”

“You!” the headmaster calls out. “I will get you for this, Flawed Fox!”

“That’s all you ever saw me as,” Zach says. “You and everyone else in Heroto, all because of my biological parents and disorder…”

“I didn’t care about what you did!” she cries. “But when you harassed my son and his friends, you went too far!”

“No, Headmaster… YOU went too far when you started attacking innocents and blamed everything on us… Putting me down was all you’ve ever done for me… I fell down and lied on the ground for some time, but then Emmy stood before me with Carly, Niji, Eren, Silus, and Navy. She offered her hoof to me, so I took it, and I got back up. My friends are amazing, and we will continue to fight off anyone who messes with us.” Zach turns away and sighs.

Emmy looks at him. “You okay, Zach?”

“I-I’m fine…” Zach puts his paw on his head. “I’m just a little empty that’s a-…” His eyes widen as he puts his arm down. “Empty… That’s what it is… All my life I’ve been dubbed a “flawed fox”, however, I faced my darkest fears, and now I’m not worried about that anymore, or afraid…”

Eren pulls up beside the fox, wrapping his arm around his back for comfort. “You aren’t a flawed fox, Zach. You are more of a “fantastic fox”.”

“Fantastic fox,” Zach repeats. “Such an interesting name for a superhero. I am Fantastic Fox! Hero of Heroto!” He looks to Eren. “You know, you were pretty courageous and daring to do everything that’s happened today.” Eren smiles and thanks him. “However, you like to manipulate time and speed. How’s the name “Quick Pause”?”

“Quick Pause?!” Eren utters. “I… I like that name. No, I love it.”

Zach then looks to Emmy. “What should we call you, Emmy?”

Emmy puts her hoof on her chin. “How’s Acroswine? You think it’s a good name?”

“Suits you,” Navy spurts. “Oh! I want to be called Feather-Morph! Because I change into anything I want!”

“Sweet,” comments Niji. “Hm, I’m not sure about my name.”

“Why don’t we call you Werewonder?” asks Emmy. “I know you’re a fast, but also a wolf.”

“I think I’ll stick with that name.”

“Hm,” Carly thinks, holding her brush up. “Not sure what to call myself. I do love this paintbrush a whole lot.”

“I’m thinking “Palette Cat”,” Niji tells her. “Good for an artistic superhero like you.” The cat smiles.

“Eren, Honey,” Silus starts. “How bout you give me a good superhero name? What should I be called?”

“Um…” Eren rubs the back of his head. “I’m not sure… You do have immense strength… Is “Mightymander” okay with you?”

“No,” Silus responds. “It’s not okay with me. It’s GOOD for me, and it fits my abilities. Thanks, Quick Pause.” Eren’s smile grows bigger.

“Well,” Zach starts. “Seems like this is the beginning of new lives for us. Fighting crime and maintaining peace.”

“It sure is,” Emmy tells him. “Sure is.” @carlycmarathecat​ @emmy-the-absolute-goof​ @rainbow-strike​ @ask-choro-mama​ @pink-unicorn-blood​

apologies if we've been over this already- if a sentimonster is cataclysm'd, does it have an effect like the one in canon, or a different or no effect ?

They go all haywire like in canon ! Unless they’re using a miraculous at that moment, then the reaction is delayed till after they de-transform.

[laterreurofficial]

Are you genuinely considering Adrigaminette for the Terror or was that a one of joke?

I really hope it's a genuine consideration

adrigaminette WILL be canon !! The second comic down the production line is a marigami one !

How about an analysis on the finest scholar of Hegellian thought in the 23rd century, your boy Edward "Caesar" Sallow? Bonus points if you can work in an image of Bill Rawls giving McNulty the finger

The writers of Caesar knew what they were doing; Caesar is an excellent example of a well-realized totalitarian. His ideology mirrors the rise of plenty of despotic dictatorships throughout history with a uniquely Fallout twist.

Caesar talks up his similarity to the rise of Julius Caesar, but drawing upon the fact that his Legion is a largely forcibly integrated group of tribals, his Legion resembles more the fringes of the Roman Empire under the command of a private general, something more akin to the Crisis of the Third Century rather than the rise of Augustus or the Pax Romana of the first century A.D. To give Caesar what little credit he is due, he understands this, hence why he plans to take over New Vegas, turn it into his Rome, and to use it as a capital city. Of course, Caesar is banking on the politics of inevitability to do the heavy lifting for him with his interpretation of Hegelian dialetics. This idea of the politics of inevitability was prominent in Communist teachings, Marx believed in the inevitable class conflict that would lead to the communist utopia, and was convinced of its inevitable success due to the conditions of the capitalist system. Totalitarians aren’t the only ones who preach the politics of inevitability, the West was confident that China would liberalize its government with the capitalist reforms of Deng Xiaoping in the liberalist idealist model at the tail end of the 20th century. China freed up its markets but that came with no political freedom. The politics of inevitability are politics of failure, no future is certain without intellectual integrity in thought, careful thought in action, and constant evaluation and readjustment.

He believes that he will incorporate the positives of the NCR and Vegas without losing his Legion discipline. This profession of higher virtue is quite common in fascist thought. Fascist societies exhort a sort of palingenetic character, of a national renewal through a devotion to the nation, perfectly fitting Caesar’s idea of a legion that obliterates tribal identities and replaces that notion with devotion to a single idea. Caesar saw this as the strength of Rome’s empire, how it was able to lead to a successful, expansive, stable nation after the murderous infighting that plagued the Late Roman Republic. By forcing a continual emphasis on virtue and self-denial through a comprehensive culture built on obliterating all sense of self other than as a member of the Legion, Caesar believes he will create a society where the good of the nation is the good of the individual, where the selfish desires of individual people or small groups will not cause the suboptimal operation of the nation as a whole. This idea is straight out of fascist ideological textbooks. Liberal democracy is seen as selfish and decadent, incapable of responding to problems and encouraging infighting and corruption, enriching the self at the sake of the many. Democracy certainly does have a problem with corruption, but as the Courier discovers, Silus doesn’t obey the law to the letter, and he’s a centurion, one of Caesar’s highest ranking commanders. 

This idea of virtuous living extends to Caesar’s opinion on technology and one of his furthest divergences from our own historical Rome. Caesar believes in not using robots or other technology to simplify life save as an exceptional reward. Caesar’s reasoning is that if gains could be made without sacrifice, it would encourage easy living and naturally devolve to decadence and selfish characteristics. Only through paying a cost is the focus maintained on the good of the nation, without it the focus falls on the individual, to use Caesar’s logic. This of course is in great contrast to Rome, which was a scientific powerhouse and technologically advanced compared to its neighbors. Caesar either distrusts modernity as a means of decadence (another fascist analogue here) or believes that he must wait for the ultimate victory in the Mojave to transform the legion before they are capable of accepting some modern trappings. Either way, it’s a recipe for failure, throwing human grist into the mill of Legion operations. Caesar can train a soldier far better than any NCR general can, they are capable of charging a machine gun nest with throwing spears and football pads, but as World War I taught, human wave attacks are fodder for automatic weapons and artillery. While robots aren’t as disposable as they were before the bombs fell, the utility are too great to sacrifice, as Mr. House proves when his upgraded Securitron army can easily wipe the floor with the NCR and Legion both. Medicine is limited to just tribal powders and bitter drink, even though healing powder doesn’t fix broken limbs which are essential to the melee-heavy combat doctrine that the Legion practices (I play hardcore mode, there is no other way to play). 

Caesar’s society too, is inefficient for all his carping about the inefficiencies of other systems. Women are forbidden to be soldiers despite multiple empirical refutations like Ranger Stella (and possibly the Courier depending on the player). Slavery is nothing like it was in Rome, the explosive collars and conversations with Legion members suggest that it’s a permanent caste of chattel slavery used to create a workforce to support their military state. As the Legion’s territory grows, the bureaucratic apparatus would become larger to match. Caesar alleviates part of the logistics problems through traders, but in remote, difficult areas like the conquest of Denver, the Legion runs into problems, and as the Courier can illustrate to Lanius, the West is simply too large to administer, and the Legion can’t make up the difference in slaves. Rome had an impressive bureaucratic apparatus and still had logistical troubles, Caesar is falling into the same traps. He can’t administer his territory, and even worse, everything is dependent upon Caesar, and he’s dying of a brain tumor that he forbade the medical knowledge to even treat. The Legion lacks theater flexibility, as Silus laments. Without the Courier, Caesar would have been dead in the water even if the Courier decided to ignore the entire Second Battle of Hoover Dam. While Lucius might be an adequate successor, Lanius is nothing but a butcher, lacking any sort of strategic diplomacy or depth. The military state that Caesar hopes to transform doesn’t even have that hope under Lanius. Heck, Caesar even invites his worst enemy (potentially) into his camp, and never bothers checking up on their work under the Fort even if the Courier spent the entire first act of the game undoing Caesar’s work.

So for all of Caesar’s grandiose dedications, he’s little better than a petty warlord with delusions of grandeur, full of nonsense based on a political interpretation of history meant to support his presupposed conclusions. He got lucky through conquering weak tribes and think it makes him a grand civilization. Just like the failed states before it, his lack of understanding of economics and the stagnancy of a central society will doom him. He might believe that there is only gain through sacrifice, but the only thing sacrificed is the chance of success.

Thanks for the question, TBH.

Ahala’s Rome - 178-170 BCE

When the civil war broke out, Legio VI Alpina was under threat from the rebellious Legio V Hispana and Legio I Italica, and had to retreat into the lands of the Daorsi tribe, a vassal of Ahala’s Rome, to escape them. Although 2/3 of the province of Cisalpina was loyal to Ahala’s Rome, there was nobody left to defend it against the two Senate Loyalist legions.

Legio IV Dialis, the legion loyal to Ahala’s Rome in Illyria, captured the city of Delminium from the Senate Loyalists. Meanwhile, the Ahala-loyal Legio IX Liberatrix in Hispania captured Arse from the Senate Loyalists. Finally, Legio VIII Fulminata, led by Appius Ninnius Ahala himself, captured Roma. The recapture of Roma resulted in a string of executions of conspirators who had not already fled to the Senate Loyalists’ provisional capital of Carthago. Statues of the Senate Loyalists and their ancestors were torn down, and the people rejoiced. The capture of the three settlements fixed Ahala’s Rome’s food shortage as well, preventing unnecessary issues that would have arisen.

In an unfortunate but not unexpected development, the Senate Loyalist Legio I Italica captured the town of Patavium in Cisalpina. Meanwhile just to the south Ahala recaptured the town of Neapolis, just south of Roma, therefore reuniting Italia, but it did not last long. Legio I Italica, having just conquered Patavium, moved south into Italia and conquered Ariminum. However, Appius Ninnius Ahala’s Legio VIII Fulminata was ready to respond. It marched north and confronted Legio I Italica in the city. Legio I Italica was composed largely of auxiliary units from Cisalpina, whilst Legio VIII Fulminata was composed entirely of Rome’s finest soldiers. Legio I Italica was destroyed, and the traitor Decimus Petilius Ahala was executed. This first major victory over a Senate Loyalist legion was a major step towards restoring control over Italia and Cisalpina. There was still one major obstacle: the other traitor, Lucius Dillius Nero, remained in Cisalpina with the powerful Legio V Hispana - much stronger than Legio I Italica had been.

Meanwhile, Legio IX Liberatrix had marched north of Hispania into Provincia to recapture the town of Tolosa, therefore unifying Roman Gaul under Ahala’s Rome. In Sicilia, the traitor Gnaeus Pullo Silus and his Classis I Misenensis navy attacked the port city of Syracuse. The city had a strong garrison and, despite heavy losses and the death of newly-recruited general Gaius Vibius Cato, the city beat back the Senate Loyalist navy, destroying most of it. 

Since both of the Roman fleets defected to the Senate Loyalists, Ahala’s Rome had to build a new navy - Classis III Veneria. This fleet captured the Balearic Islands from the Senate Loyalists - thus giving Ahala’s Rome access to the high-power ships that can be built in the islands’ military wharf.

Ahala’s Rome prepared to retake more land in 175 BCE. Ahala’s own Legio VIII Fulminata, having recovered from its last battle, marched north towards Patavium where the traitorous Nero and his Legio V Hispana were waiting. At this point, there was good intelligence that suggested the Senate Loyalists were now suffering a food shortage, and their armies were therefore suffering desertion, and would be weakened. Legio IV Dialis, having just recaptured Apollonia the previous year, marched south towards Athens, where the relatively small Legio X Graeca was waiting, under the command of the traitor Pacuvius Talmudius Celer. Additionally, Legio XII Augusta was established in Syracuse under a new general with the aim to retake Lilybeaum in western Sicilia. Finally, in Hispania, the newly established Legio XI Fidelis prepared to march south to capture the last Senate Loyalist city in Hispania, Gadira, and then follow up by taking the city of Tingis in Africa.

All of these objectives were realized within the next few years, however Appius Ninnius Ahala did not live to see the end of the war. In the year 173 BCE, at the age of 78, Ahala passed away of natural causes shortly after defeating the traitor Lucius Dillius Nero in Patavium. Ahala had attained Rome’s highest office of Censor during his tenure and was an unparalleled military commander. Decimus Peltrasius Dorsuo succeeded Ahala as the face of House Cornelia and therefore the face of Ahala’s Rome.

The traitor Tiberius Egnatius Plautus and his Legio VII Macedonica were destroyed by Decimus Peltrasius Dorsuo’s Legio VI Alpina as well. By the year 172 BCE, 5 of the 7 traitorous commanders had been killed and the Senate Loyalists had been beaten back so that they only controlled Africa and one remote city beyond Illyria.

Important Characters:

Peculiar though it may seem, some members of House Julia and House Junia have had to be recruited to lead the new legions. There’s just not enough men of age in House Cornelia to fill every military position we’ve got. So we had to scrape up some rival House members who haven’t defected to fill out some positions... for now.

Decimus Peltrasius Dorsuo (272 gravitas) - House Cornelia - Governor (lvl 6 office) - commands Legio VI Alpina

Marcus Plotius Pavo (92 gravitas) - House Cornelia - Aedilis (lvl 3 office) - commands Legio IX Liberatrix

Lucius Petilius Curvus (71 gravitas) - House Cornelia - Quaestor (lvl 2 office) - commands Legio IV Dialis

Gnaeus Salonius Maximus (23 gravitas) - House Junia - no office - commands Legio XII Augusta

Gaius Stertinius Marcellus (19 gravitas) - House Junia - no office - commands Legio VIII Fulminata

Decimus Armenius Calidus (17 gravitas) - Minor House - no office - commands Classis III Veneria

Lucius Lucilius Carbo (15 gravitas) - House Julia - no office - commands Legio XI Fidelis

Senate Loyalists (AKA traitor kills scoreboard):

Legio I Italica / Decimus Petilius Ahala - destroyed

Legio II Invicta / Gnaeus Decimus Vento - still at large

Legio III Concordialis / Spurius Urgulanius Flaccus - still at large

Legio V Hispana / Lucius Dillius Nero - destroyed

Legio VII Macedonica / Tiberius Egnatius Plautus - destroyed

Legio X Graeca / Pacuvius Talmudius Celer - destroyed

Classis I Misenensis / Gnaeus Pullo Silus - heavily weakened, but still at large

Classis II Alaudae / Lucius Tillius Fullo - still at large
