#starlight asks

[amethystblack]

who from reborn and starlight would get along?

if i overpromise anything again i will implode, so i'm going to focus on characters in the demo.

karus and adrienn share a positive, person-first attitude. adrienn is more optimistic about it, but i think xe would envy karus' ability to slow down and work for people individually.

depending on circumstances, titania and star would either murder each other or be besties.

sephany and laura are on the same wavelength.

glasya doesn't like people so much. i see him focusing more on the pokemon. someone who's equally and sensitive shy might work out, like shelly.

nova doesn't know how to get along with anyone. she'd probably end up with team meteor. maybe lumi would try to be friends?

veivax and serra could talk fashion. zagan and saphira can talk family-overprotectivism. exxeix will talk dirty with anyone who listens.

HELLO i see your fic status page but throw me a rope is not on it so I am politely entering your inbox to ask if continuing it may possibly be in the cards. i have read it in full twice in the last two weeks. send help. NO PRESSURE OFC thank you for what is there i love it and you have done my heart good by making it exist.

hi!!! Thank you so much for enjoying my fic and reading it, I’ll send the coastguard if you ever get to “I read it once a day” levels 😎👉🏻👉🏻

now onto the slightly sad news: I don’t foresee me ever finishing tmagr. I tend to enter and exit fandoms in a super cyclical way, and some of them are recurring/annual/bi-annual/etc., and some of them end up having a temporary place in my life. BNHA/MHA seems to have been a temporary one, because I never really fell in love with it again the way I fell in love with it the first time when I started writing tmagr back in 2020.

Onto the slightly good news: I have a few chapters ready that I never posted, and did have a ton of notes on my plans for tmagr, and I am planning on posting all of that sometime in the future so folks will have at least a somewhat-finished product. I gotta clean them up and get them readable and then hype myself up to probs disappoint a lot of ppl by posting said notes rather than Actual Content, and I also have some pretty serious shit I’m dealing with that taxes my energy a ton, so I don’t make any promises for that happening any time soon - but while I’ve had eternal WIPs plenty of times before, it bugs me that I left tmagr in the place that I did and I know I want those damn notes posted for everyone who said such nice things about tmagr and enjoyed it so much and always made my day when I saw comments/etc. on it

So! Thank you for messaging me, sorry for taking awhile to get to it, thank you for reading and enjoying, and hopefully I’ll get those last few chapters and the notes posted sometime relatively soon to give everyone a bit of closure~

I would love to have an emoji representative, could mine be the Sparkle Heart emoji 💖 (if that's not an option, then could I be represented by the Purple Heart emoji 💜?)

Ellie wasn't born a Halfa

So! Jason just found something weird. Or rather. Someone.

A little girl, no more than 6 or 7, crying behind a dumpster in an alleyway. Now, as unfortunate as it is, this isn't that strange a sight in Gotham. Kids are always running away from home, getting lost, being left homeless after a mugging gone wrong, but this time was different.

Because the kid was glowing.

When he found her hiding behind the Dumpster, a medical gown being the only thing she had to protect herself from thr frigid Gotham Winter, he didn't hesitate to give her his Jacket and take her to his nearest safe house.

(Actually it took a little while to convince her to accept the Jacket, and even longer to get her to agree to being taken to his safe house, but they got there in the end.)

When he had finally gotten her set up in a side room of the Warehouse, with the most comfortable bed and thickest Blankets he could find, he tried asking what had happened.

"Daddy lied." She said. "He said he loved me, but then he made another kid and said he didn't care about me."

And, once again, it was unfortunately not that uncommon to see runaway kids from neglectful homes, but the way she said it raised some flags in his head.

"...and, how did you end up in Gotham?"

"I ran. He said I was a spare, and that scared me."

Well, that was even more horrible than he had anticipated. What kind of monster tells their kid that they're a spare?!

"And, I'm sorry if this is a touchy subject but why are you glowing?"

She just buried her face in the Blankets and shook her head.

"Alright then, that's fine. You can tell me when you're ready, or even not tell me at all, I'll accept either or".

For the next few weeks, Jason juggled running his newly created criminal empire and raking care of the kid. He still hadn't gotten a name out of her, but she said to call her "Dp" instead. 'It's the best I'm gonna get', he thought.

It was only after a few more weeks, right before he was about to begin his Plan of confronting Bruce about the Joker still being alive, that she approached him and agreed to tell him everything. He was actually really glad that she finally seemed to trust him enough to tell him.

"Okay Dp, you can start wherever you want."

"...well, I guess I should start with my name..." She started, "...or rather, my lack of one..."

"What?" Asked Jason in a soft voice.

"I, I don't have a name." She explained, "Daddy never gave me one. He just called me DP-2."

"...what do you mean by two?" Asked Jason.

"It-It's my Experiment Number." She said, stuttering a little, "I'm not a normal person, I'm a Clone. I was made to be daddy's perfect child, but I was just the test run. He said that I wasn't needed after he made DP-3, and that all I was good for was spare parts."

Jason felt his throat dry up. Dp was a Clone? Of who? Who made her? What right did that guy have to reject her?! Who in their right mind would make a Clone and then reject the Clone?! How dare he!

The Pits perked up

He felt the Pits rising a little, but managed to push them down. Dp needed support, not the Pits.

"It's Okay kid." He said, holding her had reassuringly. "It's perfectly okay to be different. I accept you as you are, and I'm sure as hell not gonna abandon you that easily. Or, ever really. You're stuck with me, whether you like it or not."

She giggled, and hugged him. A thoughtful look crossed her face, and she pulled away.

"There is one other thing...you know how I glow sometimes?" She asked.

The Pits felt a sense of dread

Jason felt like he wasn't going to like this. "Yeah?"

"Well, when I said I was meant to be a Clone, I never mentioned who of." She explained slowly. "He's a kid named Danny, and when he was 14, he had an accident where he died and came back as a Half Undead."

No...

Jason really wasn't liking where this was going.

"When Da-Vlad tried to make me, he realized that those powers couldn't be cloned..." She paused here, seemingly gathering the courage to continue. "...they needed to be added afterwards."

NO.

He didn't. He had better not have, for his own Fucking Sake, he had better not have done what Jason thinks he did.

"So one day, he took he down to the Lab, and he put me in a big machine." He voice broke a little. "He locked me in there, and then I think...that I died..."

...

For once, Jason felt completely in tune with the Pits. He was going to Kill that guy.

...

Sorry if this feels a little rushed, I kept going back to add or change parts of it.

Basically, Vlad realized that you can't Clone a Halfa. So, he made a workaround. He just stuck his first Viable Clone into a Portal, and let the machine Kill her. When he realized that it worked, he knew he had no use for Ellie anymore aside from spare parts.

And he told her as much, Vlad is a fucking asshole.

Ellie, of course, got scared and ran away. She ended up in Gotham, and was adopted by Jason right at the start of his Criminal Career.

When Jason finally hears about the rest of his kids' Backstory, he decides that Batman can wait his turn. He needs to go Kill that Vlad Bastard.

Glam getting advice from the mom-brigade

--*--*--*-- Based on a friend's idea that Glam must deal with very the contradicting answers from their three moms (threw in Fizzlepop as the unofficial 4th mom to complete the quote.)

The funniest thing to me about Starlight is like. Of all ponies, except for Trixie when getting brain bangled by evil bling, she came the closest in the show of committing actual murder, and they never caught her in season five, she just disappeared into the wilderness. We know it turned out well but the mane 6 must been scared shitless that whole year. Its funnier when you know she was stalking twilight in season five. Imagine if one day she was like ‘hey how did that moondancer thing go’

this is how i imagined her internal monologue was for most of the season

[amethystblack]

will we get the chance to roleplay as evil character in Starlight? one of the few things I disliked about Reborn is that it practically forces us to be a goody two-shoes. for example, I really wanted to push Solaris down the cliff, but no matter what I tried it wasnt possible. please give players the option to make evil choices.

so... to answer the direct question, starlight is not going to be the same sort of self-insert roleplay game that reborn enables through having a silent protagonist. i'm telling a specific story about specific characters with starlight. that said, one of those we've met already in Star, and we already know she's not exactly goody two-shoes by vibe, so you might appreciate her anyway.

...but speaking in terms of choices with reborn, like. I wouldn't call not going out of your way to kill a character being goody-two shoes. i also think that the scope and freedom of choices you're expecting with something like that is not super practical-- at least now with a game as large as reborn.

but is that even an "evil" choice? i tend to view the good vs evil alignment as a spectrum of selfless vs selfish. 'evil' in itself is a loaded, meaningless word. i'm not really interested in telling a story with a shallow view of morality like that. the sort of choices i am most interested in are like with taka at the WTC. what even is the 'good' choice there, i still wonder? I'd like to ask more questions like that.

It sounds like what you want is not just "evil" choices, but violent choices. This is not the game for that, I don't see myself making a game like that, and I'd encourage you to question why you want that.

I just wanted to let you know that you are one of the only writers I’ve seen do a time travel fic in an intensely narratively satisfying way. I know you don’t really plan on updating it anymore (which is so valid!! I’m just so glad I got to read *anything* from you, you’re so talented!!!). There are virtually no plotholes, you chose the perfect character to voice the narrative (he wouldn’t give away too much, so it leaves the reader in suspense), and you write the most beautiful character relationships!! Your attention to detail and understanding of the effects of trauma supplement the narrative so well!!! Both the subtle and large-scale effects were interwoven so well. And the suspense!!!! Oh my gosh!! The double dramatic irony of us the readers knowing things Aizawa doesn’t and Aizawa knowing things the rest of the characters don’t constantly kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s one of the only fics I can reread and find new details in every time. Every single character is written with so much love and care, it’s so beautiful and impressive!!!!! It’s such a kind story, overall :,)

There are so many more things I could say, but I think I’ve left enough comments on the fic itself and would probably go waaaaay over the word limit for a tumblr ask.

I hope you continue to find and work on projects you enjoy doing, even if tmgr isn’t one of them <3 <3 <3

You’re just a truly excellent writer and I wish you nothing but the best!! Reading your works is genuinely a privilege ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

;___; maybe I’ll just cry forever because of this ask tbh this was incredibly sweet and kind and I don’t have any clue what to say in response that will express how reading this made me feel

Time travel fics (tbh time travel fixits in general, there’s a bunch of kcomics that have the same trope and I live for them too) are so near and dear to my heart, and they’re my go-to “things are hard, I need something that makes me feel like mistakes don’t have to be forever,” comfort reads, and it really means so much to me that you enjoyed my take on one so much. And also that you picked up on a lot of my deliberate choices! The double dramatic irony, picking Aizawa (who admittedly is my fave bnha character so I was probs always gonna pick him BUT he also made a great unreliable-but-predictable narrator), and the trauma affecting things subtly and obviously… Sometimes I wonder how much of what I write gets across to readers, because I’m v much a “every choice I made, every word I picked, they all had a reason even if I don’t explicitly say what that reason is,” kinda writer, and it’s both amazing and humbling to have those details picked up on by a reader tbh 💕

Thank you very very very much for sending this message and brightening my day, it was so nice to read and means a lot 💕 I hope to get back into writing something (anything!!! I miss writing) soon-ish now that the holidays are over and 2024 is in full swing, and hopefully I’ll get something out there that’ll be in a fandom you enjoy 💕 thank you again!

Have you tried drawing jellicle cats as trains and vice versa?

dinah and skimble :)

[lovelessdagger]

dang so we’re getting a LONG chapter next huh? i’m so excited but i know it’s gonna hurt so good

Off the top of my head, Reflections of the Sun is the longest chapter at 14k words. I don't know if the next chapter is reaching that but the chapter AFTER more likely will. This will still be long though. And painful

[p0rk-guts]

Could you draw some Startrix? Those two have been my personal brainrot lately. thx <3

One startrix for you featuring my favorite bit of line delivery from Trixie ever (context be damned)

Love these problematic girlfriends
