#t: spinoff

Wait, Homestuck updated today? I didn't even know it could still do that.

Could you imagine if I'd clicked on Tumblr's trending page this afternoon? Apparently there are pages from this update which would spoil half the story, canon status nonwithstanding. I won't say I'm not intrigued...

Finished Series, Spring-Summer 2024: Time Patrol Bon (T・P BON)

"Namihira Bon. Just as my name implies, I've always been average at everything. But I'm actually a Time Patrol agent. I neither particularly stand out, nor am I disliked. I'm not in any clubs, I don't have any special interests either. But then, an unexpected encounter led me to become a Time Patrol agent. I had a senior agent, I had my first job, I was recognized as an official agent, and I got a junior. As a team, we went to different times and did lots of Time Patrol missions. Being a Time Patrol agent taught me one thing. Around historically important events, there are always ordinary people whose names we don't even know. They live their ordinary lives, laughing and crying. History is built by many people who don't stand out. I came to love my job as a Time Patrol agent, helping people whose names aren't widely known. Now, I can proudly say... Being ordinary is cool.

Huddle Reunion

(Roleswap Au Edition)

I am once again writing a Dedede and Mama D reunion fic, this time within the context of @jojo-schmo's katfl roleswap au because I'm obsessed with it.

(warning: tagged for panic attack)

-----------

She felt like she was forgetting something.

That just had to be in her head right? Frozha was positive that she had grabbed every single waddle dee from that horrible place... a lab, she believes it was referred to? Whatever the place was called, the poor darlings were being used to power something. She didn't know what however...

But now, she was returning the large group of tired and overstimulated waddle dees back to Waddle Dee Town. Looking down at the ground as she walked, the feeling that she had forgotten something important still tingling the back of her mind.

That's when the sound of several excited waddle dees caught Frozha's attention. Looking up, she had not only noticed that they had made it to town, but she could see multiple dees run up to the group behind her and greet their friends and family.

The sight had put a smile on her face, it had reminded her of her old family and how her chick would greet each parent whenever one of them had returned home.

But now that once little chick is grown, standing in the same town she had just stepped foot in, and has a family of his own. One that didn't involve her... but she didn't mind. She had no right to be bothered by it after all. She couldn't expect him to remember her when he was so young that he was practically still learning to speak when he went missing.

He didn't remember her, and it was for the best that she accepted that and let him move on with his life, and Frozha was fine with that!

But then she started noticing that some of the waddle dees were looking at her... Strangely... It was a mixture of shock and confusion on their faces.

Which she guessed made sense, she was pretty banged up from having to fight some Beast Pack critters, but she was fine if you ignored the fact that a few areas of her old back scars opened up a bit.

But then she noticed that not only were there awoofies and other members of the Beast Pack here, but they were also looking at her with the same expression. But Dedede, as well as his family, also wore the same expression on their faces.

Okay, CLEARLY there was something wrong with her appearance that she wasn't aware of.

Was her head bleeding more than she thought it was? It was starting to hurt like a boulder was thrown at her. So maybe that was it?

She moved her hand towards her forehead where she had been hit and wiped, and looked down at her hand. Okay... not as much blood as you would expect, but she was still bleeding pretty bad. She could figure that much out due to the still fresh crimson blood covering her blue feathered hand...

Blue...?

Blue...

BLUE!!!

Oh stars, she forgot to change her feathers back to white! They all see that she looks like him now! HE SEES THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE HIM NOW!!!

Frozha began to panic. This wasn't supposed to happen. She was supposed to just help the waddle dees and then be on her way back to the Frozen Lands. She wasn't supposed to be seen like this. Now he's gonna yell at her, maybe even scream. God knows that wouldn't be the first family member to do so.

But not him, PLEASE not from him! She won't be able to handle that! She can't hear him tell her what she's been telling herself all these years!

She can't hear him say that she's a bad- no-a horrible mother! Asking why she didn't look hard enough for him, why she didn't fight harder for him, WHY SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HIM-

"H-hey!... You alright?"

Frozha looked up towards the voice (when did she drop to her knees?) and saw Dedede, her son, looking down at her. Not with anger like she was expecting, but with concern.

She released the breath she didn't realize she was holding as King Dedede stood in front of her.

The woman who had helped with saving all of his subjects, the woman who, for some reason, now looks exactly like him???

He wanted to ask her why she looked like him, but instead asked another question.

"Do you need help with your injuries? I can help you if you're alright with that." He says as he lowers his hand to her to help her to her feet.

Frozha stared at his hand for a moment before taking it and struggling to climb her feet, the adrenaline from the previous battle disappearing, hissing slightly as the pain starting to rise.

Dedede carefully supported the woman as they walked over to his designated bench to help her patch up her wounds.

*A few minutes later*

"Alright! That should do it for your head! Now for your back!" Dedede said as he set aside the bandages and admired his work.

It was... Okay... He might have wrapped her head a bit too much, as he mentally noted after seeing that it looked like the top of her head looked like the beginnings of a failed mummy cosplay.

But hey, to his credit he wasn't a medic. Sure he could've just gotten one to take care of her, but he figured he could kill two birds with one stone and help with her wounds and maybe get some answers with some small talk...

Which was strangely difficult to initiate.

"Sooo...Uuhhh..." Welp. It's either now or never.

He awkwardly asked the question. "How come you look like me all of the sudden? If you don't mind me asking."

Frozha stiffened. "W-Well... Um..." Her voice cracked a little as she stuttered out her words. Should she tell him? She really didn't want to deal with the impending denial of it all. But at the same time, he did deserve to know.

..... Welp... It's either now or never...

She sighed before speaking, releasing the tightness from her chest.

"Okay, before I tell you, I just want to say that I 100% do not blame you if you don't believe me." Dedede raised a brow.

"I....am your mother... I lost you many years ago... back when you were still a little chick, because I failed to protect you... I didn't say anything because I've seen that you now have a wonderful family of your own and I didn't want to interfere with that..."

Frozha paused, not looking up from the ground. She was terrified of the possible expression her son would have on his face.

She continued. "If, you want me to leave and never bother you or your family again, I'd completely understand and respect-"

She's suddenly wrapped in the tightest hug she's ever felt in her life.

Dedede had unexpectedly hugged her. Holding Frozha so tightly as if he was holding onto her for dear life. Not only that but it's sounded like... He was starting cry?

"I can't believe it... I have a mom... An absolutely amazing mom..." He wiped his face and hugged her tighter.

Frozha hissed. "Ouuuch... Agh..."

Oh. Right. Her back wounds. Woops...

"Sorry about that, I completely forgot about your back for a second. Can you move your shirt?" Dedede apologized and went back to cleaning and bandaging the wounds.

As he did that, Frozha told him how he and his father were ambushed and how his father fought to protect him, but in the end sadly lost his life. And how the ambushers lured Frozha to them just so they could attack her, and force her to watch as one of them dropped him down a ravine.

She told him how she searched for him in that ravine for almost one and a half years.

Frozha talked and Dedede listened as he finished caring for his mother.

When he was done double checking the bandages, all he wanted to do was to hug his mom.

And he did. She hugged him back, and asked him if he'd like to tell her more about his family.

And he did.

What the Whoniverse could learn from RTD's first era:

The Stolen Earth and Journey's End are one hell of a two parter that has The Sarah Jane Adventures along with Torchwood to crossover into the main series. Characters and elements from each spin-off it utilized as a means of helping the Doctor against the greatest threat the Daleks have ever posed.

However, it also involves aspects that few wouldn't be able to catch on quickly. I hadn't seen The Sarah Jane Adventures since it never made it to the States as far as I know. However, I knew that Sarah Jane was still investigating alien phenomenon as "School Reunion" showed. Of course, she'd have a supercomputer in her attic. I also assumed that Luke was a boy she adopted before learning his origins in "Invasion of the Bane."

Kind of wish we saw Maria and Clyde when Luke called them with their actors on the sets of their homes. Maybe have them gawk at the Daleks from afar and hold on as the Earth is towed back. Maybe a cameo of Rani if they felt bold enough to promote SJA Series 2.

Torchwood, on the other hand, I had seen in full before Series 4 and as such, I was able to appreciate some nods to the spin off such as Gwen calling her husband, Rhys, or telling Ianto that she'd rather go down fighting like Owen and Tosh.

However, I wouldn't have needed to have seen the spin off since I'd have known that Jack had a team in his sect of Torchwood since Series 3. We're just meeting them in the main series proper.

Additionally, we don't need to know about Rhys to understand that Gwen's calling her loved ones during this worldwide crisis. "Owen" and "Tosh" are easy to identify as previous members of Torchwood that had died in their dangerous line of work. Their two seasons of adventures are just self-contained enough to be basically backstory for them.

As such, Series 4's finale feels less like you had to have seen both spin-off to understand and more like they pique your interest in them. What was Jack up to during Series 3 and 4? What's going on with Sarah Jane these days?

That's really what the new Whoniverse should take a cue from. The Main Series crossing over with the spin-off should have us feeling less like we missed out and more like, "Cool, I know what I'm putting on my watch list ASAP."

Thought?

Maybe the reason they didn't bring Martha back for the 60th is because she's going to be the main character in the Unit Spin-off.....

A Huddle Reunion

(this takes place in the krbay spinoff au, because I REALLY need to start separating these au's from each other...)

------

To say King Dedede was upset was quite the understatement.

Like... don't get him wrong, when he found out that he had a living biological family member, of course he was initially happy!

But that happiness was quickly drowned out by the anger and confusion of the realization that the family member not only started as a monster he ordered back when N.M.E was around, but then disguised themselves as a traveling man after they were turned back and... Y'know.... was actually his MOTHER of all things... Who wouldn't be riled up about this situation?!

Wouldn't his mother WANT to be in his life?! Wouldn't she immediately run to him and... I don't know, hug him or something?! Kiss him on the forehead?! Whatever things moms are SUPPOSED to do?!

Regardless of all that, he was talked into having an open mind about this and letting her explain herself before popping his lid at her. Apparently Connie, Kirby, and the other kids had met her beforehand and claimed that she was a sweet woman. Even Manny, his newest hire as the castle's new custodian and fellow hothead, said that she was nice and deserved a chance.

So here King Dedede was, walking to a part of the beach that was far from Cappy Town, a spot his mother had chosen so nobody would watch their conversation go down, alone so they could resolve this as a "family"... If they even end up as one by the end of the conversation.

As he approached the meeting spot, he could make out a figure sitting on the sand and so close to the water that he'd guess that their feet were just barely in it. It had to be his mother, nobody else is usually this far from town at this time in the evening.

The closer he got, he started to notice some details about her. Well, the back of her anyways. She had curly feathers on her head, with a streak of silver curling and looping down to the tips of said feathers, she was wearing a white backless dress of sorts, although it started to look like a sheet that she tied into a dress as he was getting closer, and her feet were indeed, in the water, the water reaching right where her toes ended. But what really caught him attention were the three massive scars on the woman's back. He couldn't tell if they were left by claws or a weapon, and he'll admit, that left a nasty feeling in his stomach.

He stood practically behind her now. Looking at her as she looked out to the ocean, seemingly lost in her own thoughts.

He cleared his throat to get her attention.

She jumped slightly at the sudden noise, but then turned to look at him.

She stared, appearing almost shocked that he showed up. Her eyes glanced behind him then back to his face. Double checking to see if he came alone, fair, she'd seen that he wasn't the most trustworthy guy in the past. Both as a monster and as the man she pretended to be.

She then took a deep breath before speaking with a sad smile on her face.

"Hi-" *ahem* "Hello d'ere..." She uttered out, voice slightly cracking.

"...Hey." The king responded, sitting down next to her.

They sat there in silence, staring out in front of them for what felt like hours before Dedede's mother broke that silence.

"So... I'm sure ya have questions..." She started. "And I'll be more than happy to answer 'em all the best I can." She said as she turned her head to look at Dedede again, truth seeping out with her words.

He knew he should've at least asked her what her name was first, but he had another question that was making his chest ache for the past few weeks.

A question he had to know the answer to NOW.

"Why'd ya leave me alone for all deez years?"

His mother's eyes widened, eyebrows creased in saddened shock.

Alright, maybe he could've worded that better. But he HAD to know. What was her reasoning for this? Why did she hide herself from him? Did she even love him? Why did she-

"I-I'm sorry... I couldn't... I wasn't..." Her eyes are watering.

Leave...

"I wasn't strong enough..." She's crying.

...him...

She had her face half buried in her arms and knees, her right hand up holding the head slightly up, and she was crying.

"It... was a long time ago, you were still jus' a lil chick..."

Dedede leaned closer to his mother as she spoke.

"We were walkin' back home from playing in da snow... I had ya in my hands-" She held out her slightly shaking hands in front of her as she spoke.

"We were close to a ravine an' it was blizzarding like crazy at the moment, but I didn't think anythin' 'bout it... Which was my first mistake. I wasn't aware that there was someone else out d'ere wit' us..."

The penguin lady paused, and took a deep shakey breath. Dedede noticed that the water around her feet was starting to freeze, the story clearly stressful for her to remember. A part of him wanted to tell her to stop. But he had asked for this, and she was gonna give him his answer, whether he still wanted it or not...

"It was a man that I had a bit of a... "falling out" wit', he had tackled me and knocked ya outta my arms. I couldn't pick myself up before he started attacking me." She placed a hand on her left shoulder, where the massive scar started. "I won't go into detail 'bout that. But I guess that wasn't enough for him... Because then he went and picked ya up but yer leg and started walkin' t'wards the ravine..."

Dedede's mother paused again, holding back her cries and taking another breath before continuing.

"I knew what he was gonna do... And I tried- I really REALLY tried to get to you as fast as I could... But the wounds were slowin' me down and... but... But I was SO CLOSE to saving you... But he dropped ya down the ravine and I didn't dive in to save ya in time... And... A-and I just... don't want to disappoint you again..."

The woman began to silently cry harder, clearly reaching her limit with remembering such a traumatic event. And Dedede was left speechless. He never expected this...

As he stared at his mother, his heart began to ache again, but this time for a different reason. He didn't like seeing her like this, nor did he like that she had gone through so much. If he could take on the guy who jumped his mother all those years ago, he'd do it without hesitation.

But right now all the king wanted to do is comfort his dear, sweet mother.

He scooted closer to her and gently placed a hand on her back. When she looked up at him, he hugged her.

"None o' dat was yer fault... Ya did everything ya could do, Ma..."

His mother began to sob at his words, leaning into his hug and moving her arms under his to hug him in return. Although it felt less like a hug and more like she was grabbing him as if he was a life preserver that was thrown to her to save her from drowning... Like one slip of her hands and he'll disappear from her sight.

But then again, considering what she had gone through that might not be too far off...

He began to rock her as she cried, which helped calm her down. They were like that for hours, in each other's arms as the sun began to set. The sky begining to turn into a beautiful starry night.

Dedede's mother was looking at the ocean's waves again, her face still wet from her tears as her son held her. She was surprised at how much he had grown, it seemed like yesterday he could perfectly fit in one of her hands!

As she continued to watch the waves, she felt her son turn his head sideways onto hers. His cheek against her curly feathers, and she sensed that something else was on his mind.

"Is d'ere something else you'd like to ask me?"

Dedede was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

"What's yer name?... I feel like I shoulda asked ya that first... Also I really wanna know, even though I'mma jus' keep callin' ya "Ma"..." Dedede had a small smirk on his face as he spoke.

His mother hummed, she hasn't told anyone her name in years besides her late husband. It always felt too personal of information, given her younger years... But this was her son. Her precious baby, and she wasn't going to lie to him anymore.

"...My name is Frozha!" She answered calmly. "But I'd prefer if ya referred to me as something else when officially introducing me to yer kingdom."

"Alrighty then!" Dedede responded. "How about I refer to ya as my "Mama D" then? That way we'll match!" He explained with a big smile on his face.

Mama D giggled softly, looking up at her son.

"I'd love that, my lil chick..."

hi hi vanessa! what anime have u been watching recently? looking for recs to kill some time (may or may not also be for fetish purposes ehehe)

Hi anon!!! This is such a fun question, and I'm sad to say you caught me at a time where I have a very boring answer to it T.T It's already late April, but I've finished a total of two (😭) animes this year. (So few, I know! I wish I had more to recommend you 💔)

Between work and everything else, it's just been a hectic time... (I also have a couple I have to get around to finishing 😭😭 I've been putting off watching the last few eps of J//JK s2, because the friends that I've watched the rest of s2 with have been busy. I also started Fri//eren back in January; I just haven't found time to get back to it 😵‍💫)

I did finish Cher//y Magic! 🍒 (Though if you're sending me this message, I feel like you probably have already seen it around?). It's such a cute, fluffy romance/slice of life, that—despite its fantastical premise—is actually quite grounded, imo... a very cozy watch overall <3

I've also been wanting to watch Shi//guang Dai//liren (Link Click) at some point! I was also talking about watching Sa//saki to Mi//yano with a friend (if you're reading this, hi!)

Anime-wise, I have nothing to offer you on the snz front 🙇‍♀️ I have been very bad about setting aside time for myself to watch things. BUT if you ever watch any of the aforementioned shows, and want to talk abt them with someone... or if you want to watch/read something with me book-club-style... please feel free to hit me up :D

I wish O Segredo na Ilha had subtitles because is my favorite season/spinnoff from Ordem Paranormal and it's such a good one too!

The mistery + comedy combo was perfect and the characters and players were amazing! It was such a good introduction to Ordem and it made me want to watch all the seasons.

I saw plenty of people who don't speak portuguese starting to watch the first seasons(the ones that have English subtitles) because of the qsmp and it made me so happy. Just wish they could see osni too:']
