#that’s how that verse goes right

Harper pails, watching as her girlfriends attempt at locating the missing pet through her magic, also fails. No that couldn’t be right-. Phi was the much stronger witch between the two of them and-.

“ I had h-hoped it was a fluke. I tried to track him with my own magic earlier and it c-couldn’t-.....What could he even have gotten himself in trouble with that magic itself can’t-.” Harper's nervously running a hand through her hair

At Least she knows it likely means he’s not -. Gods don’t let her trouble making but loving scottie be that kind of gone. If he was then the spell would have at least led them to something but it’s just like he’s…vanished. Poofed into thin air!

“I’ve tried all his usual spots, any ideas in that brilliant brain of yours princess?”

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

Okay now that I've awakened and had some good (but late) sleep, I can finally share my thoughts on 29 verse (mostly (there's probably some stuff I forgot to add)).

Well firstly, I do like how this song was made with the 2nd gen groups in mind, as well as it basically being an opener to the third season (since the main verses are split between the two units). As much as I grew to love the new content in rap guerilla, you can really tell that the new groups were sort of stuck onto a song originally made for the 1st gen groups (even with buraikan honestly). However, with this song they're all very much integrated into the song (I mean that should be obvious but still thought to mention it). I also think this is the first alternate 'all units' song that features the new groups+buraikan. If the stageplay ever adapts rtl, I'd love to see this performed by the stage actors at some point (probably after the first half tho).

I'd say that my favourite verses overall (at least right now) are cozmez, AMPRULE and VISTY. VISTY's verse in particular I thought was a nice way to end the revengers section, especially Kantaro's part (I'll bring them up again later). Individually I'd say that Reo's and Shiki's verses are some of my favourites too. Reo's verse is literally so addictive and there's just something about the way that Shiki delivers his (more specifically this line at 3:26) that I'm obsessed with for some reason (Ryuu's verse is also starting to grow on me as I'm listening to this song on repeat while writing this).

Also as a bonus I'm glad that Anne has a better verse in an all units song that's not just "fuck the racist, I don't need no fake ass" (minus the songs from the stage adaptation).

As far as the group order goes, I'm pretty sure they were planning to alternate between the 1st and 2nd gen groups (using the order given for the revengers and avengers teams of course). However with the avengers team, I think they just decided to put BAE at the end right after they'd already swapped them around which put 1Nm8 at the start of the avengers section...which also brings me to my next point.

So as mentioned before VISTY ends the revengers section, but do you know who is right after? 1Nm8 and as we all know they'll be going against each other in battle of unity. But ALSO do you know who starts/ends said verses? Kei and Kantaro.

So in conclusion: THE QUEERS ARE FIGHTINGGGGGGG (and the battle hasn't even started yet)

// Isha who's so utterly changed after her sacrifice, but she tries so hard to hide it. Jinx is still her priority (if sometimes her Second priority or even third priority), but she's still different. She's quick to anger, quicker to fear. She's older, battle worn, and far less trusting. She jumps when someone touches her until she learns to steel herself to surprises or maybe she's already steeled herself to the world. It's hard to get her to react with fear or excitement, but when someone gets her excited or happy it's all the sweeter; if bittersweet.

Maybe she doesn't quite feel like a person anymore because she was brought back from death because JInx couldn't let go. She's like Jinx now with her pink eyes, but it's not quite enough to make her feel better

Brainrot Trash Idea about Shin and Baylan

So I've been seeing a fair amount of stuff about Baylan and Shin, and bc I'm a Sucker for Father-Daughter characters, decided to play with a few headcanons. None of which are remotely close to Canon and a few AUs bc I can.

General HC Rambling

* Shin is Baylan's actual daughter. Yeah, I know she's (99%) not in canon but look. The idea of Baylan having and then training his own daughter to be something greater than the Jedi lives rent-free in my head.

* He got Shin from a young age to refer to him as "Master" instead of "Father" for both their sakes. Smother the risk of attachment and keep them both safer should the Empire catch on. (Jokes on him, because both of them are very attached to each other).

(For Shin, there actually isn't a real difference between terms; for her, calling him "Master" is her just saying "Father". He is her father, not her mentor, in her POV. She just uses a different word is all. (Help them, plz)).

* On that not of terminology, been thinking and I know it's probably just a harmless/unimportant honorific, but the fact Baylan has the title of Lord makes my brain go "what if Baylan was actually of noble origins?". Which then shifts into "Shin having a separate last name from her father is due to Baylan gifting her his mother's maiden name, for the same reasons he has her refer to him as her mentor instead of parent". It's also a way, in his twisted mind, to honor his family nobility when he himself failed it (by being a Jedi).

(Also imagine the Skoll/Hati family coat of arms being *wolves*)

* I even got genealogy HC worked out cause- "well Shin doesn't look like Baylan". And yes but hear me out: she takes after another relative of his (sister, mom, aunt, grandmother, etc.). Maybe she reminds him of his mom, idk. But if so, maybe that's why he gives her the surname Hati? As a quiet honoring? Either way, she takes after his family members, just not him strictly lol.

* (I'll be honest, her hair looked dyed and frankly speaking, I do HC Baylan as being a dark brunette before he went full Grey, so not a far stretch to also consider her inheriting his hair at least.)

* Back on the Hati surname, thinking more also led to "its a family name but farther back in lineage before it got changed to Skoll somewhere down the line". Kinda like how the Bakarn family in SWTOR used to be the Bakvalens before it got changed to a more common surname. Either way, the name Skoll puts a target on Shin's back and Baylan isn't taking that risk.

* (Ngl, part of me now wants to play w the idea of Baylan actually being a descendant of the Bakarn family. Idk if he'd be related to Syo tho, for obvious reasons.)

*Regarding upbringing, Baylan was a single dad front day 1, raising Shin on the run. Who the other parent is or if she even has one, no one knows. (Mostly bc I'm lazy and single dad Baylan lives rent free in my head). They mostly drifted from place to place, never really calling somewhere home. Hence another reason why Shin is very attached to Baylan; he's her only source of stability. He is "home".

*Leaving Shin was hard for her, but it was also hard for Baylan. It's not that he doesn't love his daughter. He absolutely does. But he's driven by personal ambition to seek this unknown power on this strange world and that takes priority. And truthfully, it's dangerous. He knows it's dangerous. But it calls to him in a way he can't ignore. In a way Shin can't hear. And if For her sake. Even if tearing away from her rips him in pieces; it's dangerous what he's doing and he won't drag her into it.

(Mentally he tells himself he's doing this all for her. For a better future, for her.)

(Shin, of course, is too attached to her father to actually leave the planet.)

AU VERSE HC

On another hand, been seeing a fair amount of Baylan/Morgan content lately and THAT got me thinking of "Shin is a Baylan/Morgan child". Which...

-Half-Dathomiran Shin. Half-Dathomiran Shin with Morgan's markings.

-Shin whose been raised by a human most of her life, who isn't at all attuned to her Nightsister half. Who doesn't really know Morgan and probably is unaware she's her parent.

-Shin who isn't attuned to her Nightsister heritage, suddenly experiencing summons of green fire and magic when her parents leave her behind for their own paths.

Nightsister-Dark Jedi hybrid class Shin Hati.

so it’s no surprise that javid’s posts and potential teases make me take damage, but like...looking at the lyrics of walking on broken glass after he mentioned it?

[xiincun]

"hey, dan feng - when are you gonna teach me how to use a spear like you do? i've gotta graduate from this boring old sword sometime, right?" the intrusion to the dragon's quiet solitude is punctuated by the weight of jing yuan's arms leant against his shoulders, pulling the taller of the two back into his chest for a moment before shifting to instead stand in front of his comrade and friend. rounded ears atop his head are pricked and tail poking out from beneath his armour sways almost excitedly behind him as the younger man grins around his next request.

"and you've gotta start sparring with me more. master says i need to learn how to fight more than just her techniques and all that--" ;; @astrcls ;; sc
