#tetris spoilers fanfic

[mumblesplash]

alright here's the rundown. more detailed version coming soon probably. the things i do for you guys

(transcript of prologue below the cut)

It's a lavender sky this time, this world. A lavender sky deepening to aubergine over a city of neon and brass. It's beautiful in it's way, just like any other city on any other world.

I-prime hasn't bothered to learn its name.

He stands in the hotel window, watching the burnished streets below gleam with fading light. The rhythmic thrum beneath his feet signals the rousing of the club below. They're playing a song that I has never heard in his life, yet part of him remembers it all the same.

The blank-faced watch on his wrist chimes a single long tone. I-piece taps its face without taking his eyes off the path into the nightclub.

"Hello, T."

"You're not in position," T says through the speaker. Their voice betrays none of the frustration that I knows he must feel.

"I'm where I need to be," I-prime says.

"We talked about this—"

"Yes, you talked, that's what you do. I make decisions."

T-piece's response is cut off by further chimes from the watch. Short, long, short, short—then the voice of L comes through.

"There's no time," she says. "The Boss just Held onto J. It's on, it's now."

"As expected," says I.

With a snap of his fingers the air before him splits. I-prime reaches into the crack between two universes and retrieves his sniper rifle. He looks down its sights, out the window, down the gleaming street.

Someone approaches the door to the club. A tall, svelt man with a face that I-prime is so sick of seeing other people wear.

I wonder what this one's named, I-prime muses as he lines up the shot.

Izaak? Ignacius? Indigo?

As he pulls the trigger on himself from another life, I-prime knows it doesn't matter what this alternate is called.

He lost track of their names a long time ago.

The sound of a chair being beaten to pieces echoed throughout the office.

In the break room, T sighed over their flavorless ramen. It had been hours since the team had returned from their latest mission, and Z’s tantrum showed no signs of abatement.

“Couldn’t he have locked himself in a room with fewer breakable objects?” they asked.

“He’d certainly get around to breaking himself quicker that way,” observed S. It was impossible to tell from her tone if she considered that a good or a bad thing. She uncapped a pink Sharpie and began adding nipples to the anthropomorized goose she’d doodled on the table yesterday.

T groaned and stood up. S glanced at their ramen. “If you’re not going to finish that, can I have it?”

T handed over their chopsticks, then walked down the hall to the meeting room where Z had holed up. “It’s me,” they called through the door. “You can unlock it, or I can use the key.”

The office’s master key was usually in I’s pocket, but T had palmed it the last time they’d had I’s cock down their throat. No answer came from inside the room, so they pulled out the key and opened the door.

Z huddled on the floor in a heap of broken chairs, hands over his face, looking even smaller than usual.

“Hey now,” said T, with a flash of real concern. They knelt and put an arm around his shoulders, despite the risk of a being repaid with a broken nose. “We’re out of it, okay? The mission’s over.”

“I fucked up.” Z’s voice was a rasping croak.

“We all fuck up sometimes.”

Z lifted his head. T felt a little guilty for thinking how beautiful he looked, with mascara running down his cheeks and lips bitten red. “I hate being buried.”

T nodded. After so many missions, it had happened to all of them, but rarely as badly as to Z today, lost under layer after layer of smothering clones. S eventually used every explosive she had, plus a few she’d invented, to blast through to him, and T slid in to finish the job, but they’d seen Z’s face right before the end. He’d gone catatonic.

Z bared his teeth. “I hate being useless. Helpless.”

He spat the words at T as if it were their fault. They nodded again, fingers toying with the ruffle of his sleeve, and offered, “I can be the helpless one now, if you like.”

Yugioh S1 Ep 37: Swapping Bodies OMG There’s So Many Bodies

The card hell card games continue, and Yugioh has decided to fall on old habits and hide everything under his RNG hat.

Yep, for the 27th or 58th time people have just completely forgotten what it means for Pegasus to be a psychic. Yugi’s also a psychic so how did...anyways...

Up to now I thought the hats were a random toss of the dice, but it turns out Yugi has to choose which hat and apparently this is information that Pegasus can just reach over and nab and so Pharaoh and Yugi do their favorite thing and just start freakin the heck out.

(read more under the cut)

So, the brain brothers decide to have a time out, which is a thing they can do now, where they hang out in this hallway between a vine covered wall and a Tetris map.

It’s a little unclear if this is all happening in a split second, or if Pegasus and Yugi are just staring at each other this whole time while Joey and Tea twiddle their thumbs. I’d like to think the latter.

I’m glad we finally see the inside of this kid’s head. I’ve actually wondered for kind of a while and I’m happy to see it is sufficiently weird. Too bad we only ever get to see this blue floored room.

To think that Yugi’s super annoying habit to keep a secret and lie to everyone he loves became plot relevant to beating the final boss.

Also it’s kinda weird that we put so much pressure on Yugi and Pharaoh melding brains together like for...so many episodes, for the real answer all along to have been “Just don’t.”

It’s enough to screw over Pegasus.

Joey’s eyes have so many different looks. Like I’d say this is off model Joey but have we ever had an on-model Joey?

Considering that this is alternate history Egypt, I’m guessing that Pharaoh’s inevitable backstory plot will be way weirder than normal Egypt--it’s just that normal Egypt set a pretty high bar.

Side note from the research I did into weird Egyptian folklore, there’s some dispute about whether or not the Pharaoh that drew ho-ho’s and twinkie’s wherever he had a battle was one person or 3 people, which is even more like our Pharaoh.

Also on your own time please look up the story about the Pharaoh and the piss if you do not know it already, it is the precursor to Cinderella in the weirdest way possible.

Overall, he still hasn’t said which Pharaoh he is and hasn’t given himself a name. Yugi just calls him “spirit” which is...weird, honestly. I don’t even know if he knows at this point, he’s been dead a long time and without a body is it even important?

Speaking of people that clearly have no freakin idea what their actual name is or just don’t feel like it’s important, the ghost living in Bakura is having an excellent day.

It’s OK, storyboarder, it happens to the best of us.

None of you took off your jacket while running up this staircase? No wonder it took them like 5 minutes to catch up.

I’m actually genuinely surprised Tristan ever caught on and that his mind hasn’t been wiped yet. Like, this is the longest he’s witnessed dark magic without getting erased. He’s improving.

Anyways, lets get some lazy animation in there, with this slowly moving monster on a shot that slowly pans out. Mm. The good stuff. That’s the good low-budget stuff I’m looking for.

Anyway, Bakura really didn’t need to bother with the Man Eater Bug because he decided to throw a pot at them. Yes, a pot. It wasn’t all that interesting to look at so I didn’t cap it but the pot has been somewhat a recurring card that just kind of always screws up your day.

It’s a pot.

Bro and I did a quick count just to make sure, and not counting people that came back to life, and not counting people who have been dead before episode 1:

the imprisoned card boys trinity + PaniK + Guy who got ritually sacrificed last night + these unfortunate mooks who were just doing their job.

We may have forgotten someone though.

As for Bandit Keith, he died in such a wacky way that he’s probably fine.

Pegasus is so bothered that he can’t read their cards, that they wipe out his little toon town and he gave every hammy villain ever written a run for their money in how poorly you can scream “nooooo” Like I genuinely enjoy Pegasus’s VA but damn that line reading: wow. He destroyed it. Like not in a good way but in a “that was the take you decided to use?” kind of way.

And I went to see if there was a Youtube recording, but typing in “Pegasus nooooo” got me a lot of fan videos instead. So, I thought to myself, you know what? I can record it, it’s like half a second and I have the software, I do art and stuff!

So I go to record it in OBS but the thing about OBS is that the “record” button and the “stream straight to twitch” button are of course right next to each other. Like clockwork, I accidentally clicked “Stream” on OBS and had a legit panic attack that the five people who follow my art-only twitch account would suddenly get an email notification that instead, I’m streaming the worst voice acting in Yugioh. Thankfully, twitch has a safe guard where it won’t stream unless it’s been longer than a few seconds so...phew.

Needless to say it didn’t make it to this review. Maybe later, but I’m terrified of making that mistake again.

After mourning the loss of his weird fanfic cards, he decides “Fine then! I’ll make a freakin shadow duel! Have fun!” and Pharaoh was like “Dammit, again?”

Bakura pulling an Office, looking straight into the camera and just nodding smugly at me that he will never have to explain to me how the hell he broke all the rules so far set up in the past 30-some episodes of Yugioh.

So Ryou (which is Bakura’s first name it turns out--I did a hair of google research but didn’t click on any pages because of spoilers. We’ll talk later about how no one is close enough friends with him to use his first name.) is kind of a weird guy, right? Like he’s got a lot of the Yugi problem where you don’t always know where one ends and the ghost in his brain continues. When they’re compared with each other like this, especially in an episode where Yugi has to be independent, it’s an interesting take on the same problem.

Both Yugi and Ryou rejected their spirits at one point, but the big difference is that Pharaoh is a lot more flexible, and kinda understands that to get the puzzle to work you do actually need two people. This whole duel with Pegasus would have been pretty moot with one person. As for Bakura, he’s decided to try going solo with some desperate conjoined brain-twins surgery, and I guess we’ll find out how well that works out for him.

So Tristan has to do whatever Bakura says for a while out of the fear of getting sacrificed to a pot.

Remember, canonically, no one has checked on Tristan and Bakura in about three episodes because they assume Tristan has extreme constipation.

Anyways, next week on Yugioh:

Will Bakura take over Mokuba’s body and get hair that is like Super Saiyan huge? Will Tristan throw Bakura over his shoulder WWE style like he did to Double Spike Mohawk Mullet Man? Is anyone going to fall to their death down this big tall tower? It’s just this tower seems really underutilized, and I’m not used to seeing a villain on a tower like this in a cartoon without someone getting Disney-deathed.

Incomplete list of weird crack nonsensical AUs I’ve made

Apollo Justice except Apollo has wings he has to hide from everyone.

Steven Universe except all the gems are horse racers except instead of horses they race gryphons and dragons and shit. Also Peridot was a sky acrobat for some reason.

Gravity Falls except half of the population are now human animal hybrids because the spoiler machine actually did cause the apocalypse. (Was an actual thing, apocalypsefalls on tumblr, before I seriously grew bored of it.)

Apollo Justice except Apollo is a pirate and Edgeworth is a DJ. I don’t know either, it’s just in my files...

Splatoon except Callie and Marie had a big falling out, Callie went on to be a shitty pirate who eventually went blind because of a physically abusive captain and Marie became time police. Eventually the two come together and they discuss how shitty their lives are.

A ton of Peridot AUs including: Peribot (she’s a robot preloaded with tetris), Tuxedot (fancypants Peri trying to fit in with elite society) and Gamer Peri (which I still get asks for.)

Taking a second to brag about the fact that I headcanoned Peridot’s weapon to be a blaster before it even happened in the show and my design was totally cooler

i know i’m not the only one but im still happy about it

MLP except there’s a secret underground mafia/speakeasy group led by Twilight Sparkle. I think I wrote a fic of this in between 7th and 8th grade.

WoW except time and space are co-governed by a group of people known as the Vaseili realmskippers that are able to cross into multiple dimensions of the same place. The skippers are meant to ensure the major events of the timeline remain consistent among realms. Literally my mind going “what if there’s an in universe reason for all the realms having the same story.”

LazyTown except they’re all furries. (this one was more of a joke that went too far)

Splatoon in which Callie and Marie are taken in as prisoners of war by the Octolings, who in turn show them how shitty life is in basically the slums of Inkopolis and convince them to help reach a peaceful agreement with the Inklings. Also war stories from a weirdly fleshed out OC named Cosmo.

Undertale except Sans has a gasterblaster dragon that he tames and takes care of.

PAW Patrol (thats right) except a realistic society in which dogs are taken advantage of and kept in a search and rescue/police facility in Alaska as expendable units, only interacted with by machines and pilots as they’re assigned to complete deadly missions no human wants to risk taking. Nothing they can do about it, they’re fucking dogs.

Another Splatoon AU (whoops) in which some race of sea dragon monsters takes over the overworld of Inkopolis and the Inklings AND Octolings are both cast away to the sewers where they need to work together to start rebuilding society and taking back the surface. Callie and Marie team up with two Octoling characters I forget the name of who are the equivalent of the squid sisters in the Octoling world to organize rescue operations to save inklings and octolings from the surface and deep within Octo Valley. Marie dies early on, and I actually had a few fanfics about this... Probably the most fleshed out one of anything here pardon Apocalypse Falls.

Neopets (actually this is more like a headcanon) except the user using the site is (ic anyway) one of the last remaining humans after the majority of Neopets have evolved more humanoid bodies and complex thinking far surpassing humans that once kept them as pets. Humans that sided with their movement for power were turned into Faeries, and only a few humans are left for historic reasons to care for pets that don’t have the humanoid adaptations. You are under close scrutiny by the Neopets Team and a step out of line can mean being “phased out” of the gracious historical opportunity for you to live.

ok i dont think there’s any more beyond me really really stretching far into my past, bleeding into crossover territory, or getting into AUs of my or my friends’ characters... I can probably pull up art of some of these from long ago if y’all’s interested??? not that anyone would be lmfao

writer asks 30-50 evens

Ai - I remember this game... lol ok digging in!

30. Favorite line you’ve ever written.Ok Paragraph but I still really like this:

She was stunningly pretty, he always told himself so when he saw the pale curves of her body flush with arousal. His body began to respond and yet a part of him remained detached, observing, a clockwork orange performing the rites and rituals of love in body only. He kissed her with a passion that transmuted longing. Joining with her was an ablution and, God, but she deserved so much more. 

32. Easiest character to write.Seungri. Always. There’s just an easiness and joy to his character that I always find pleasurable.  34. Handwritten notes or typed notes?Both. Depends on what I have on hand and where I am generating the ideas. I’ve even used my voice recorder if I’m driving.36. A spoiler for story _________.Hmmm I’ll just put from the next bit that I plan on posting. GTop’s exhibitionism is going to get the best of Youngbae.38. Have you shared your outline of your story ________ with someone? If so, what did they think of it?I share the outlines/ story seeds of most my stories with the squad. Usually it results in screaming.40. Original Fiction or Fanfiction, and why?Both. Each has its place. I find the latter much easier and much less work but there is something very rewarding about the former. 42. How do you figure out your characters looks, personality, etc.Well, for fanfic it is easier than original. There is a source material I can parse through to generate that information.44. Best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten.I don’t know about best, but most helpful was when I was stuck on the The Only Night a year ago, @i-feel-electric​ advised me to try journaling from each character’s perspective. It was really helpful in getting into the headspace of who each character was, how they related to each other, how they saw themselves, etc. None of it wound up in the story but it was expressed in their characterizations.46. What would your story _______ look like as a tv show or movie? 

Gonna go with the Love Boat AU, which is basically The Real World but on a ship, lol. 

48. Favorite genre to write in.Smut. That’s a genre right? It’s kinda like tetris but with body parts. 

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.Glitter dragons in SPAAAAACE with a side of political espionage a la C.S. Friedman’s In Conquest Born and the visual stylings of Branagh’s Hamlet.

....which was the direct predecessor to my original fic which is currently Fantasy Epic pulling from Meso-American history and mythology....so... yeah 

Glitter dragons in space still sounds cool tho.

Hi there!!! Thanks for making the tetris poll and a the tetris sexy(wo)men. I'm obsessed. Here's some O/Z for your trouble!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61079983

OH MY GOD??????

[mumblesplash]

im afraid i have added a fourth fic to the tetris spoilers tag (sorry?)

sure ok. there’s four fics in the ao3 tag for my tumblr poll now. that’s probably within normal parameters. everything is still under control

[mumblesplash]

I'm hoping you enjoy the parade of people coming into your inbox to inform you they wrote more fic about tetris pieces, because I also did that! I'm sorry/you're welcome/thanks! (select as appropriate)

I just got really inspired by the toxic yaoi that I-prime and T have going on and, uh, I'm not sure if it's possible to make it worse, but I definitely gave it a shot :)

BRO YOUR WORLDBUILDING HELLO???????

[mumblesplash]

I recently discovered Tetris Spoilers and was entirely swept away by your character design and worldbuilding. Going off the principle of seeking forgiveness rather than permission, I've gone ahead and posted a T-centric fic called "Maybe a Bit Too Flexible": https://archiveofourown.org/works/61372810

I'm sorry/I hope you enjoy it/thank you for the brainrot.

absolutely none of you are seeking forgiveness but i’ll allow it

also as the first writer to prominently feature S i am happy to announce you seem to understand her perfectly:

[mumblesplash]

writing-biting gave me the confidence to post this.

have a little character study(?), sorry if its way off base!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61088182

HOLY SHIT WHAT

that’s two Z fics in a DAY so as a reward some bonus lore: me and the writing team have been visualizing Z’s Hold as specifically appearing as thorny vines ­:)
