#the THERAPY SWORD timeline

[autisticlalna]

yesterday's lore roundup: we got confirmation that Vintage is Olm's host...

Avid: Technically, you're in a polycule, because everyone Olm's ever possessed is inside of Olm's mind, and they're in the mind there for all eternity. Marmalade: "Is this couple's therapy with Marmalade?" Unfortunately, it seems that it is couple's therapy with Marmalade. Avid: So... Ruby: [stunned] What? Avid: The thing is, Ruby, like, you basically... have to share... Marmalade: Ruby, if you could-- Could you please, could you please, come down from the shulker boxes, just, y'know, so that we're all on the same level now. Ruby: Who... who has he-- Avid: Vintage is in there, probably, by the way-- Ruby: Who has he possessed? Who has he possessed? Avid: Vintage's hands are at the bars at the prison, shaking it furiously, "Let me out! Let me out!" Ruby: Avid, who has he possessed? Avid: --and everyone behind her is like, "first time, huh? First time," all the other brains and the minds in there. Yep. Ruby: Avid. Avid, I'm going to say this very politely. [draws sword] Who has he possessed. Avid: Uh... Let's see. There's this one person named Chara, um... Eromourn, he's still kinda... Ruby: Oh, he's kinda hot though, okay. Avid: Timelines are funky... Uh, and then all-- There's many others I haven't disclosed over quite a- quite a millennia.

...because of Avid talking about Cherruby being in a polycule.

he also confirmed that OSSHA Vintage being in Vintage's episode 1 means that Olm has been there for a while.

You can call me Kiji or certain nicknames if we're closer.

Things like 'dear', 'darling' etc. are fine, but I would prefer we talk a little before those are used.

I go by any pronouns, but mostly he/him.

My other interests are also at @kijimha.

I'm usually not one to start interactions due to anxiety, so forgive me...

NSFW roleplays are not welcome! NSFW/Suggestive questions are welcome, if they're played as something comedic. To further elaborate, I will not do serious explicit rp, but roleplays/asks where something NSFW is mentioned or if a joke is NSFW, that's fine.

BSD covers many triggering topics, such as SH, suicide, abuse, etc. I'll most likely NOT tag posts where any of these topics are mentioned.

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱɪɢᴍᴀ . . .

I personally headcanon him as intersex.

He/him or they/them is fine for him.

He isn't quite sure what his preferences are yet, but he's asexual.

His blood sugar goes low often due to sleeping issues & overall health issues.

Timeline is flexible.

He has imposter syndrome. It means he believes his achievements aren't enough or they're not good, even though he's proven worthy of his position and aforementioned achievements. People with imposter syndrome also have an internalized fear of being found out, believing they are a fraud.

Thank you!]

So I have a mini theory about TOTK based on the memories, major spoilers under cut

So Zelda is around 10,000 years in the past, in the Era where this iteration of Hyrule was first founded. I say this iteration because I believe that this isn't the true original Hyrule that we know to have been founded form Skyward Sword but most likely a refounding of the kingdom from further down the timeline, similar to how New Hyrule was founded by Link and Tetra after Wind Waker, but that's my own headcanon and I don't really want to deal with the whole timeline bs right now. Which is why I'm only focusing on Zelda doing time travel in TOTK.

So... my question here is, exactly how long was she in the past!? The answer is 10,000 years, I know, but I mean... how long was ZELDA in the past. Not Zelda the Light Dragon but Zelda as herself. Time travel is a finicky subject since, for us, she could have only been missing for weeks, maybe months, before the end of the game. For her it could have been much, much longer.

My idea stens from a few factors, first being her relationship with Sonia and Rauru and the second being the Imprisoning War. A little bit of Ganondorf thrown in there too.

First and foremost, the bond between Zelda and her ancestors. Queen Sonia and King Rauru treat Zelda, a literal stranger to their politics and therapy, like a daughter. Far more so than he rown father ever did! When she has something to say, they listen to her concerns and validate them. Now that could just be them being good parental figures to their decendant, but Rauru had no reason to believe a word Zelda said about her concerns over Ganondorf's treachery when, in her time, the Imprisoning War that hadn't even happened yet was little more than a legend and barely remembered history. Nobody even knew who the Zonai were by the time BOTW came along. Yet Ganondorf aoemhow knew Sonia would listen if Zelda asked to see her in private, and Sonia and Zelda were both able to put a contingency plan in effect to thwart the attamped assassination. True they failed in the end, but the initial attempt had failed and the fact Ganondorf knew Zelda's image would move Sonia to leave her protection and her husband says a lot in and of itself.

Then the war itself. First of all, war isn't a quick matter. There is jo su h thing as a fast war no matter what history claims. All war is messy and takes years to deal with the fallout. And the Imprisoning War wasn't a simple skirmish. It was a massive war that put the Hylians and their aloud forces to the rbink of extinction, one that had long lasting consequences including but not limited to the longterm exclusion of all males within the Gerudo tribe with the exception of Link over 10,000 years down the line, and even then that only happened AFTER he saved the tribe twice over. A war that is o far reaching it is mere jyth and legend yet still very present at the time of BOTW. By the time the Sages swear allegiance to Rauru, he was the last bastion against the Demon King in his rampage with the last of the Gerudo falling shortly beforehand. That is, the Gerudo who are OP as hell in BOTW in all accounts and are literally trained from childhood as elite warriors in most cases.

Zelda had FOUGHT in that war and had spent an undetermined time after its ending, preparing the Kingdome of Hyrule and the remaining survivors for Ganondorf's inevitable revival as best she could. That in and of itself will likely take years, especially since she had to find a caretaker for Rauru and Sonia's unnamed and unseen heir to ensure her bloodline lasted long enough for her own birth.

So, I bring you back to my theory... Zelda has been in the past for at least several years before she turned into the Light Dragon. She did not immediately go to the Temple of Time and swallow the secret stone. She had to have had at least several months after the war at minimum before she could transform into a dragon. I know the Tears make it appear shorter than it was but there's no way all the events of the 8 tears can happen within a span of a few months. It had to have been years.

You kind of know about Decussate (my Cross variant). The multiverse he originates from is known as Knight’s tale. A multiverse that is more heavily fantasy based. Dragons are the third race among humans and monsters.

With all the out of the way,

I just want to briefly introduce you to the main Killer of Knight’s tale.

Killer wears the skull of a dragon, a black cloak and wields the legendary sword, Excalibur.

Clipped out of his alternate universe’s reality. Became displaced by the multiverse for a short while but was rescued by Core Frisk, Dream, Ink and Color.

He’s not a bad or good guy. Just hangs around in the Delta Sanctuary (Omega Timeline equivalent). Is getting the help and therapy he needs.

Killer and Decussate do not get along in the slightest. Disgusted by how Decussate reminds him too much of Chara. Appalled by the Decussate’s connection with The Angel and dragons.

[kdinjenzen]

Ocarina of Time is a great game EXCEPT for the fact that the story deals with the idea that “Young Link isn’t old enough to be the hero of time” by locking him in stasis while allowing his body to continue to age.

The Master Sword really said “Nah, you need to be taller.” and then did nothing to actually grow Link’s mind beyond that of a 10 year old.

And then Majora’s Mask happens A FEW MONTHS AFTER OCARINA OF TIME and suddenly “nah, we already traumatized this kid, let’s send him to a world that is going to die in three days with some of the most fucked up horror scenarios ever and see what happens next.”

I propose a FOURTH Zelda timeline split because of this.

I like to call it the “Gerudo find Link and scream in horror over what the absolute fuck the ‘good prophecies’ did to this child. Then adopt him and run away to a different land far away from the bullshit Magic of Hyrule nonsense” Timeline.

Link gets therapy in this timeline and becomes a baker.

Name and dimension: Mortimer "Morty" Smith, Miami-1789

Age: 19

Occupation: partnership in his grandfather's business

Miami-1789 timeline is a but odd. In this dimension Rick met Diane when they both were students, way earlier than other Ricks, which moved all time points, making Beth, Morty and Summer older than other versions of them. Diane in this dimension broke up with Rick when he dived deep into drug dealing, trying to provide for his family. Due to his growing business Rick later moved to Miami.

When Diane suddenly died (disappeared in the blue light in front of Beth, Jerry and kids during family dinner), Beth called her father, with whom she secretly kept in touch, in complete shock. Rick immediately demanded the family to move with him in Miami, which they did. Rick's paranoia, fueled with the unexplainable death of his ex-wife and his family being so close to his business area, hit off the rocket.

Growing up in a household run by a paranoid control freak of a drug lord made Morty cynical and cunning. His morals are grey at best, he operates under his own complicated code of rules. He believes that there are no good people in the business, and has no problem with shooting them down if needed, but, in contrary to many other Mortys, doesn't have suppressed anger issues and isn't prone to a juvenile violence, even if he does have fun in shootouts and fights.

Has no shame whatsoever, easily uses his good looks whenever he sees fit, but his borderline obsession with his appearance almost led him to develop an eating disorder in attempt to keep a 'teenage' body when he hit the growth spur. Luckily his changed habits were picked by Summer in time, and she convinced Morty to go to therapy.

Morty adores fashion and prefers feminine style in his looks. Bought The Pink Glock just for funzies, proceeds to kill the most annoying guys he encounters with it. Goes under 'he/him' pronoun, but mostly just to fuck with people when they misgender him, in his heart doesn't give a flying fuck about the matter. If he really likes a person, he allows them to use whatever pronoun they see fit. He's aro/pan, prefers androgynous looks in his partners. Doesn't date.

Despite working enormous amount of hours with Rick's paperwork, hates hustle culture with a passion, once shot a guy whos shenanigans made him and Rick work overtime. Often clashes with Rick on that, but steadily holds his ground.

Does have his own plans that are connected to Rick's business, but keeps it between himself, Rick and partly Summer. His parents know better than push on the future career subject, they are too scared that he will keep his 'dancing hobby' his primal occupation. Which he sure won't, but he likes to keep this sword hanging above their heads.

Morty's pronouns for family and friends:

Mom and dad use 'he/him' (just out of the habit, they did ask him first about it though when they saw him going for more and more feminine look).

Rick switches them depending on his mood, Morty's attitude and the current situation they found themselves in (some of their associates are more of asses then ciates, and it's easier to play along to a certain point).

Summer, Squanchy and Jessica go with 'she/her' (Summer combines the pronoun with calling Morty her little brother, Jessica simply likes Morty's feminine look and figured that 'she' pronoun suits the look better, and Squanchy just was confused about the whole thing and misgendered Morty at their first meet, but was so adorable that Morty didn't have a heart to break it to him, so he just let it slide).

Birdperson exclusively uses 'they/them' (he sternly believes that it suits Morty the best not because of his looks, but of his nature. Refuses to elaborate further).

SBAU TIMELINE

this is subject to updates as i plan more out, but here's the main events that happen in each section of the au in a bit more detail <3

PLANNING

this is mike and vanessa working on making the glamrocks together.

OPENING

the pizzaplex opens!! mike and vanessa split shifts, with mike as a mechanic at night and vanessa as a security guard during the day. they talk less than before.

BONNIEBREAK: bonnie's mysterious disappearance, almost as if he's been wiped from existence were it not for the 4th floor of the pizzaplex and the concept drawings in mike's sketchbook.

FRIENDFALLOUT: it's revealed to vanessa that mike was the one who's been letting her therapists know about her conversations. they confront mike about it, who reveals that they have copies of her therapy sessions. mike warns her to read the fine print. vanessa storms off and they cut contact for the forseeable future.

GREGORY

gregory finds himself in the pizzaplex after closing. he'd much rather spend his time hanging out with freddy or something, but for some reason, mike refuses to let him out of his sight. therefore, he's stuck walking.

(this is regular security breach gameplay, kind of. mike has access to everything so there's never a need for them to pass through the daycare, for example (i think. i would also like a coherent map of the pizzaplex so i can map their routes but yk how it is (insane))

PRINCESSQUEST-1: after gregory completes princess quest 1, michael learns that vanessa has lost their soul to glitchtrap. as he turns around, he finds vanny right behind him, and he confronts her about it (um. not well. angrily.). vanny, suffering from mad visual and auditory glitchtrap-induced hallucinations and reality warping snaps and stabs mike. gregory tries to rush in and help but freddy stops him, and they watch as mike rips the knife from himself and slashes back at vanny. vanny, shocked and suddenly More Aware, stumbles back. mike slashes again, vanny dodges, and runs out. by the time mike gets to the door, she's gone. the knowledge that william is back and (to his knowledge) controlling his friend coworker, AND that he just failed to kill him sends him into a fit of rage that scares gregory shitless. freddy forcefully asks mike to calm the fuck down, to which he responds Disturbingly Quickly, and they're off again.

PRINCESSQUEST-2: gregory points out that the avatar they're playing as has changed, which catches mike's attention. lo and behold, it's fucking cassidy. cassidy, with a sword now. this changes things.

PRINCESSQUEST-3: they make their way to pq3, beat it, and free vanessa. hooray. Except. vanessa's removed the mask and thrown it aside. freddy goes to comfort her (hesitatingly, she did try to kill gregory earlier) while mike grabs the mask. he puts it on and suddenly, it makes sense how vanessa was disappearing so quickly; there's transparent walls and floors everywhere. and, notably, a way to descend to a very familiar pizzeria. mike goes there without another word and vanessa, pissed the fuck off at this behavior, goes after him. she and freddy and gregory have to take an alternate route down however, because mike's got the Fuck Reality powers now. in the pizzeria, mike finds one final pq game.

END

CASSIDYRECONCILIATION: mike finds the final princess quest game at the bottom. he plays it and gets cassidy to the same plane of existence, where she gives him the sword. she's ready to move on, she wants to see her parents again. but william can't be left unattended, and whatever's left of him still needs to be collected. enter michael. hw2 pq gameplay ensues, but instead of the sister location elevator taking mike and william to a claw machine, it takes them straight to hell lmao god bless 🙏🙏🙏

HELPWANTEDHELL: michael oversees william's torture from now on, but not without cost. he gave up any chance to see elizabeth or evan again, the only thing he'd been working for for decades.

[nonuggetshere]

HELLO AGAIN i just scrolled through your faaf au tag for about 15 minutes straight and i would like to ask.

what the hell is going on there. pls explain

KDHDJDJD YEAH THATS A VALID REACTION

So the basic premise is that Pure Vessel (who is names Flower in this AU) is outed to not be hollow before the sealing

Some key points:

They're like 5 years older than Hornet, who also knew about them being alive and helped them sneak out so they could get a break

They have a secret relationship with two people, Petunia and Lummis, who Flower keeps in the dark about their true nature and the whole vessel project

The secret comes out around their 21st birthday, on the day they were supposed to be sealed. They panic during their knighting ceremony and grab the sword before running off. PK doesn't react well.

They tell their partners everything afterwards, and they react considerably better to this reveal

Their relationship with their parents was...alright but complicated, until the reveal. Afterwards, PK and WL pull away from them. Flower's relationship with them (and generally relationship dynamics exploration) is the main theme of this AU. PK cares about them and wants to keep them close and safe, but it hurts to keep them too close, so he makes them a regular guard at the palace.

They find Ghost and the two of them team up to kick Radiance's ass (she's alive and in Hallownest, just. Mortal now)

This ignoring and being treated like a servant eventually gets too much for Flower and it all comes to a head when they challenge their father to a duel that gets a little too violent and personal. They lose, and as he walks away they yell at him and beg him to just look at them when they're talking to him. He doesn't, which is just more salt in the wound.

Afterwards Flower leaves the palace and cuts contact with their parents for a few years. Obviously at this point the two realise they fucked up and try to apologise but it's way too late.

After some therapy and a few near death experiences that make Flower realise their parents care, they decide to give bending their relationship another go. They take their parents into the Abyss to show them what they went through, and also they sign up for family therapy.

Afterwards it focuses on them rebuilding their relationship and Flower's own little family they've built for themself

There's a bunch of other stuff but that's the most basic bare bones and quick explanation I could give so I'm not here 2+ hours, sorry if it makes little sense it's almost 7 am here LMAO

If you have any specific questions lmk 👍

I am writing a more comprehensible summary and a detailed timeline for the AU but it's gonna be long ways away before that's ready

[blupengu]

Okay, I thought Le Salut emotionally devastated me? Wrong. Weak sauce. I think I inadvertently went in order from happiest to most depressing salvation ending oops…💀

Big fat spoilers for everyone’s salvation ends under the cut!! I’ll add the order I did them in first in case somehow someone finds this and is curious but hasn’t done them all yet

Just wanna say though, thank you Virche Evermore for gifting us with not one, not two, but FIVE(!) long-haired boys, god damn! I would like to shake Yomi’s hand because the art and character designs are so *chef’s kiss,* long-haired anime boys are superior 😂

Also random aside, the first few notes of the salvation theme before the piano comes in gives me such……… indescribable feelings? That underlying dissonance fills me with like such a desperate but forlorn desire to go back to simpler, happier times before the melody becomes more hopeful 😂 (this might be a weird pull, but it gives me Giygas theme prayer for safety vibes from Earthbound 👀)

Adolphe -> Mathis -> Scien -> Yves -> Lucas (yes I saved him for last because I am a Lucas simp I admit it. I saw some comments say it was uhhh not the happiest ending LOL but the heart wants what the heart wants 💀) Boy this is gonna be a LONG post

Adolphe

Love things being solved with guns lmfaooo, guess we’ll go by each scene that the game goes through. Also since I forgot to mention this in my Le Salut rant, I LOVE all of Ankou’s CGs, he is so pretty! The very first one you get stopping Ceres from killing herself? Impeccable. When Adolphe’s pointing a sword at him while his hair’s blowing in the wind? Show-stopping. Him eating the lycoris? Peak *I saw a man so beautiful I started crying* 😩

LUCAS AND NADIA ARE ALIVE! NADIA IS RECOVERING!! LUCAS IS GOING TO THERAPY!!! As mad as I am that ankou died, this is the best timeline oh my gosh the way I (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) when I heard Nadia, the relief I felt for these two blonde bitches y’all…

LMAO JEAN. Oh my evil hot butler being forced to take care of a baby as his punishment is so *chef’s kiss,* scien has wonderful ideas, I desperately want fan art of this 😂 ah… they did say Rosalie was pregnant though when she was killed, didn’t they… oh now it hurts a little more… I hope he, Mathis, and the kid become a loving family 😔

What the FUCK Yves eating the lycoris bulbs coming in clutch though??? And Hugo still being an A+ Yvesexual I approve 😌

Scien is the BIGGEST mvp though in practically every route my god

This was such like a nice, tight little bow to put at the end of what I guess is the true route? But I love it because all our boys are happy (Ripperoni ankou 🫡)

Mathis

Sweet baby boy, too good for this world… Dahut why tf are you blowing shit up in his route this don’t involve you go away 😂 (still love him though…)

Oh… OH. Mathis was ACTUALLY baby…?? o_o (kinda 😬 how Jean got the cells but uh, let’s ignore that shall we?) Rosalie, Camille, Mathis happy family AU when??? Aaaw Jean did care about Mathis deep down TT_TT (like waaaay deep down), and thank you Scien again as always.

Lmao Ankou’s just casually showing up like, “here take these sweets, it’s made of my blood! Haha no of course I’m joking it’s just normal candy” 👀 Not much else to say about this end, it was cute! I’m glad at least one character got a real happy ending 😌

Scien

Bruh I forgot how disrespectful Scien is to everybody lmaooo, guess we back to sandwich dispenser… I’m glad Dahut’s our friend in this route though!

SALOME WHAT THE FUCK! Oh bruh hell nah, she did not just do that I stg… oh bitch she really killed Dahut huh. YOU JUST KILLED YOUR SON!! GIRL, THIS MAKES ME MAD AF 💀 (this also made me realize they share the same bang style 😭)

Not much else to say about this one either, I’m glad it’s happy (other than Dahut… and they’re never gonna find out about that, huh… ಠ_ಠ), and looks like the kiss CG’s improved! 😂

Yves

Bruh Yves needs therapy so bad, he’s such a good boy though 😂 Ngl his full name is kinda sick, Yves Noirge, guardian of the Lycoris, named after the flowers of misfortune? That goes hard af

Please… please give her the Magic science juice first so you don’t die before you get to her… no? Aight then I guess the power of love stopped you from dropping dead LOL (this kiss CG was also pretty nice! Hooray the artist has improved 😂)

Cannot believe they put in the effort to change Scien’s sprite so he’s missing an arm though lmao, and Ankou just kinda showing up to solve problems is always great

Y’all Yves and Ceres are so mentally I’ll for each other… and two kiss CGs!! They really saved the nice ones for the end huh 😂 Good for Yves! It’s not a super happy ending, but at the very least things are hopeful, and that’s all I can really ask for in this game…

Lucas

I am. Upset. I miss when all we had to worry about was the cage 😂

*internal screaming* Boy oh boy this one absolutely wrecked my shit. When I looked at the flow chart and realized it would split off AFTER Nadia and the killing spree… 😬 like bitch I don’t wanna go through this again 💀 okay okay though, this one’s definitely gonna be long (sorry in advance), I guess I’ll just tackle the scenes chronologically:

Seeing Dahut hiding from Lucas really just made me shout “LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!” at my TV now knowing what we know lmao, but also… why was he unsure about Capucine’s involvement…? Like he knew Capucine was Ortie and he must’ve known that Capucine was running the hospital Nadia was in… also knew he was abusing Lucas and doing fucked up human experimentation, Dahut so why are you surprised??? I would’ve pulled Nadia out if there the second I became friends with her, a huge chunk of this is your fault 😭

But bruh… this is not a salvation end… it’s a despair end with more CGs and trying-to-talk-with-a-slit-throat-while-coughing-up-blood ASMR wtf 💀

(Poor Lucas saying “I can’t do this anymore” was so relatable lmao sweetie the game is doing you so dirty I am so sorry, like oh my god make the pain stop… what do you mean it’s only gonna get worse?!)

I am glad though that even though we stabbed our boy in the throat we are still going after Capucine’s ass together! Seeing him scared was so satisfying aah, GET FUCKED CAPUCINE HELL YEAH YOU BETTER BE AFRAID BITCH!! Even with 0 pints of blood, Lucas is still kicking down doors and kicking ass, what a king 👑 the man must be leaking everywhere (like sir we cut an artery, there must be a fountain coming out of you), love the “man too angry to die” vibes 😌

Bruh the siblings face to face is so fucked. Was not expecting Dahut to have already been there and playing dead though! Even though you’re kinda the reason Lucas and Nadia’s lives got so fucked, I’m glad you helped in the end 😌 get fucked (again) Capucine!! I’m very glad Nadia was the one to claw the shit out of that garbage man 🔥💯

Aha, the touching sibling reunion is SO super duper fucked 😭 they did not have to describe how Nadia can feel the other body parts and how much it hurts… like Jesus fucking Christ honey I am so sorry you’re in this game, this is too much suffering for such a sweet character 😩

God I am so absolutely devastated, his dying CG was pretty at least… ಥ_ಥ this ain’t fair though y’all… what is this injustice for Lucas?? Like this is some Shakespearean tragedy bullshit… Whoever decided his gravestone CG needed THREE variations is sadistic lmao 😭

My crops are dying, my skin is dry, everything is pain… I guess all we can really do is take some solace in the fact that he gets a happy ending with Nadia in Le Salut…

I don’t think the salvation theme music ever even played???? I also realized this motherfucker’s been wearing high heels the whole time while on his murderous rampage??? WORK BITCH damn 💅

Phew this rant for just Lucas probably could’ve been its own post honestly lmao but oh well, the man changed my brain chemistry… guess it’s time to pray for the FD to be localized. Please our lord and savior Scien, let it be soon, Lucas deserves so much better than what he got 😭

Well guess that’s it for my rambling posts about virche evermore!! This game was a wild ride from start to finish and I loved it, time to make shitty memes to cure my brain rot (sorry if this post was incomprehensible LOL)

Repairing the cracks

So I have an idea either I'll write a fan fic and draw bits of it or I'll draw all of it or just a fan fic but here is the idea, Prismo Zaps Fionna, cake and Simon to his cube. He tells them they made a mess of the timeline and the higher up are demanding they fix the other timelines so he sends them off to fix the things they broke. So for example putting baby Fin back and other things I'd make up. I've written a bit down already Here's a few scenes I definitely want to draw. Oh it would be Simon x Fionna too.

(The three of them after processing they had been pulled out of their world to Prismos cube again turned to him and scarb confused.)

Prismo: I'm sure you're wondering why I bought you here..

Cake: duuuuh I was enjoying a cat nap

Simon: and I was in therapy

Fionna: and I was getting ready for a date

Simon: what ?

Fionna: what ?

(Much later in winter kings world)

Simon: so you have a date ?

Fionna: ah yeaaa kinda...so therapy? How's that going ?

Simon: oh uh...it's going hah...so what's his name ?

Fionna: uh her name is Simone...

Simon: Simone?...wait it's not-

Fionna: anyway! It wasn't really a date, cake kinda jumped into her ice cream cart before when she was a cat and disappeared into your world and I stuck my head in, I offered to get coffee to make up for it.

Simon:...Fionna...*smirks knowingly*

(Same universe trying to prevent the death of winter king because he's supposed to be defeated by that world's Finn)

Future Fionna: *grabs past Fionna as shes about to grab the duplicated crown*

Past Fionna: AHH! *Goes to take out her sword but she stops when she sees herself* huh?...I thought I was supposed to be the only Fionna..." *Sounds disappointed.*

Future fi: don't worry we are I'm just from the future...*sigh* listen whatever you do when you save Simon and the Winter king don't touch his crown, just grab Cake and Simon and get out of there.

Past fi: what? But what about him showing Simon-

Future fi: there is no way to avoid the curse...just take this crown get your Simon and cake and get out, got it ?

Past fi:...got it..

Future fi: *let's get go*...oh and he's not what he seems to be, I'm doing you a favour by telling you this but don't kiss him.

Past fi: *blushes* we kissed him?..

Future fi: don't do it !

Past fi: why not ?? You did !

Future fi: and he turned to dust so just don't do it !!

Past fi: what ?

Future fi: I hate being here longer than I need to be *pushes the dupe crown to her past self chest* save Simon and get out of here...

Drawing parallels between Ninjago/BOTW characters simply because they’re my two favorite fandoms PT 1

Ninja/Champions

Lloyd/Zelda: They both have a sacred power passed down through their lineage, but have a tendency to doubt their own abilities. They were both kind of cheated out of their childhood, Lloyd due to the aging tea in season two, Zelda due to her sacred duties. And finally, say it with me people, #DADDYISSUES!

Zane/Mipha: They’re both the calmer, quieter type, and they’re both absolutely precious. I know Zane is ice powers and Mipha is water, but I feel like it’s close enough. Also they both live longer lives, with the zoras’ naturally longer lifespans and Zane being a nindroid

Kai/Revali: They’re both the hothead of the group, initially believing they should be the green ninja/champion in charge. They both give me bi vibes, and even though fire is different from air, fire does create updrafts so once again, close enough. (look don’t try to dissect my reasoning, ok? Just let me have this.) While they’re both still plenty cocky, they do eventually learn a little humility (if we’re talking AOC timeline for Revali) and that cockiness is what fans love about them.

Cole/Daruk: Ok, these two actually do have a lot of similarities. They both have earthy powers while being down to earth, they both love eating, and they’re both the heavyweight of the group. Apart from that, they both have a very calm, laid back demeanor outside of battle.

Jay/Urbosa: Ok I’ll admit, I initially struggled with finding connections between these two outside of being redheads with lightning powers. But then I realized that they’re both basically the therapy dogs of their group. They’re the first to lighten the mood with a joke or laugh at a funny situation, while also being one of the first ones to ask you if everything is alright.

Nya/Link: They both don’t have powers to start, but make up for it by being exceptional at something else. (Nya with her samurai mech and tech skills, Link with his sword fighting.) They also both have something about them that’s similar but separate from Lloyd/Zelda’s sacred powers. (Nya’s water powers being tied to Wojira, Link having the essence of the hero) Finally, both of them have a bonding moment with Lloyd/Zelda when the other four disappear. (Season 9 for Lloyd and Nya, the champions’ death for Zelda and Link.)

It’s about 10:30 when I’m finishing this so if any of this only makes sense to me and I’m just crazy, drawing connections where there are none, please let me know.

[swordofazrael1992]

Jpv 2, 7, 14, 27!! Shatterstar 1, 20, 23, 28 >:) go autism on me!!!!!

AUTISM TIME FORREAL!1

okay okay so

jpv 2) probably after reading sword of azrael '92. i had a mutual who was posting a lot of jpv stuff and i had previously read tynion's writing of her in tec 2016, and then my lcs had a trade collecting soa 92 + the first seven issues of azrael '95 so i went "fuck it" and bought it. i can't remember if i read what was available of watters' stuff at the time before or after soa 92 but that was definitely where i started to really love jp/az and it's stuck with me (as you can tell by the url)

jpv 7) FOREVER AND EVER the "perhaps this azrael does both" quote from sword of azrael (1992) #3. technically it is alfred talking ABOUT jp/az in response to nomoz saying that azrael punishes, and doesn't/shouldn't think. and then there's also the soa '92 #4 of azrael straight up telling nomoz "no" when nomoz says they need to leave, because azrael only avenges, not rescue. either way i think those are really interesting and have Stuck With Me

jpv 14) i know i'm an soa 92 type boy but....this one is definitely a hard one and i don't think soa is in my top two choices. i'd have to say his no man's land arc, i'm a huge fan of it and his dynamics with other bat charas (esp babs and cass!). my second choice pick would probably be soa '22--i just love it so much and it's so beautiful. so while soa '92 might be my favorite, i don't think it's his absolute best. but it's top 3 for sure

jpv 27) the most fun, for me particularly? i think castiel from supernatural. i have no idea what the fuck would go down, but it would be entertaining. other than that, probably vash or knives (or livio/razlo) from trimax specifically, or sister lilith from warrior nun. lets just get all those religious imagery bitches in a room together and see what goes down

star 1) so i THINK my first impression of star was in young avengers: children's crusade, WAY back when i first started reading comics. like young avengers '05 was my first comic, and ya:cc my second. i think i just looked at him and rictor on panel together and, knowing nothing about them, was like okay yeah they are DEFINITELy gay. i probably thought he was a little weirdo (affectionate) but i didn't become a fan of him and rictor for another year or two i think

star 20) star is the only person in the world who actually MEANS it when he says "i listen to a little of everything" about his music taste. he really genuinely listens to everything, and everyone who knows him HATES when he's on aux because listening to his playlists gives them whiplash. seriously, he goes from mid 1800s orchestral music to hyperpop to 90s hip hop to 00s top 40 to 1960s bluegrass to music you're not even sure is from this dimension and that you're pretty sure is from some future timeline. star sees no problem with it, though. also i think he takes really long showers and uses up ALL of the hot water + has a really extensive hair/skin routine. so you go into the bathroom of his and ric's apartment and you see the shower and sink counter practically overflowing with all these extravagant and fancy products and then in the corner there are like 4 or 5 things that belong to rictor and it's just shampoo/conditioner/body wash/other essentials

star 23) i want him to live happily ever after with ric in a cozy house with weekly therapy appointments and dinner with his parents every month + an actually good/existent relationship with them where they aren't just kinda coworkers and maybe a dog or a couple cats and a garden in the backyard and a giant tv in the living room and a good relationship with life and maybe a couple college degrees or maybe he just learns so much about the things that interest him and everything else without feeling the need to have a degree to show for it and andand. but i don't think that will ever happen because marvel hates me personally

star 28) stabbing himself in the stomach that one time. and the other time. and the next time.

and being his own grandfather. that was really unnecessary of him

(+ i know you didn't ask but songs i've been associating with them recently:

jp/az -

https://open.spotify.com/track/4zlRCThoy7Wops9GF11kQX?si=0494cd4331cc411b

star -

https://open.spotify.com/track/6EqCxnulMcawu0qN8B8Y5W?si=2f23a62fe7bf4d8c

w/ jp/az's being about how they are pretty impulsive and need to get from point a to point b as fast as possible and star's being about the entire "raised as an arena slave to fight to the death for other's entertainment" thing. also on second thought i might put nothing lasts forever on my shatterstar playlist)

Project SF-002 // Tifa Lockhart

"You've Seen How Much Ass I Can Kick."

Verse Overview Project Reunion was a traumatic experience for all, those whose lives it didn’t end altogether, that is. Tifa was a case unlike the others, though. With Sephiroth, the functional avatar of Jenova, still fresh in her mind, and a desire for revenge with intent to kill strong in her mind, Tifa was able to overcome the cells implanted into her body in a way unlike the others.

The enhancements applied through the S-Cells functionally made Tifa an enhanced human on the par of other Sephiroth clones, though with a continued ability to self-actualize and defy the voices in her head, she functionally operates on a similar level to Cloud inherently in the early adventures, accompanied with the benefits of her training. A probable and credible threat to Sephiroth’s plot. A SOLDIER in all but name.

Due to Jenova DNA now being in her system, and Tifa being of the willpower to control and manipulate it, she is able to manipulate raw life energy, as well as chi, in a fashion similar to how Sephiroth does. But most transformative of all, like others from Sephiroth’s generation, under the influence of Jenova Cells, Tifa is able to manifest a single black wing. However, a distinction has seemed to become that (likely as a result of their “gender” being similar in social disposition) Tifa is able to eventually manifest a second wing after a period of training and in times of accelerated action, such as a Limit Break or during duress.

Caught among the bodies of those discovered in the wake of the Nibelheim incident, protected by the dead body of Zangan, Tifa was carried away to be experimented on by Hojo. A demeaning and dangerous process for which she was not conscious, Tifa had been injected with the alien DNA, and treated with raw mako as others to promote integration of the new material in. But thanks to Tifa’s especially strong chi, Jenova’s collected consciousness (or at this point Sephiroth’s) was not able to overtake her own will. While not rejected as an outright failure at the time, Tifa’s reaction was unlike the other Sephiroth Clones, and thus was believed to merit further study.

It was this delay that caused Zack to be able to rescue both her and Cloud. Once removed from a pod designed to keep her brain in stasis, it was discovered that Tifa had physical attributes comparable, if not exceeding, Zack’s from Hojo’s experimentation. But more pressingly she had undergone surgery to her spine and sternum, the latter of which was replaced with a metal plate, and the former of which had essentially been enhanced to become cybernetic. While this doesn’t really give Tifa much more of a physical benefit, other than potentially some lifting support, it ultimately reinforces her spine against excessive and further damage from her high-impact and newly-enhanced fighting style, while her body continued to progress and become able to endure its own enhanced strength from the cells and mako therapy.

The trek to Midgar took Tifa and Zack, with a still catatonic Cloud, a year to complete, but this time it was far more urgent. Unlike in another timeline, in which Hojo was dismissive of the escape of what was essentially trash, Tifa was a cherished experiment with which he had not yet grown bored. And so SOLDIER and Shinra agents were dispatched promptly to intercept the group on their way to Genesis’s final holdout, causing an additional more prominent threat when one also considered the Genesis Clones hunting Cloud. And in this time, Tifa and Zack were separated from each other, with Cloud remaining with the latter, as she was able to flee and divert the force’s attention, as their primary target.

Through moving across the sea and toward Midgar, Tifa was able to lay much lower solo than as a group. Being able to switch out of SOLDIER-style garb and not being beholden to a massive sword and spiky hair, Tifa was able to pass off as “just another part-wutian fleeing her homeland and seeking opportunity in Midgar”. And as she reached the city’s slums, she finally found a moment to breathe.

After all, Shinra would not look for someone so important somewhere so obvious, in her mind, and Tifa would spend time between sectors 6 and 8, trying her best to lay low and take what work could be found. But after some time acquainting with others in the area, and earning money, Tifa was able to bid on an abandoned bar in the 7th sector with money from taking monster bounties, and with various odd-jobs taken in Sector 6. She didn’t know, however, that it came with an eco-terrorist cell in the basement.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Ability and Powers (Only Difference-Pointing) Jenova-Enhanced Human Biology: Tifa is already an effective superhuman (no enhancements or powers other than martial arts training got us the Tifa we know in canon) through her training and chi, but thanks to the integration of Jenova cells and mako exposure, Tifa is now a fighter on-par with Sephiroth at the time of his physical peak, with magical abilities to match. -Biological Manipulation: Members of Jenova’s species manipulate and restructure their own cells, as well as change the cells/foreign matter of others. Due to her mako-enhancement, Tifa’s body was able to take to the implanted cells of Sephiroth, which are functionally near-identical to those of Jenova’s barring key human components that permit him to physically resemble Hojo and Lucrecia, and integrate the J-Type changes into her human DNA without significant change. This also means that she is able to control her own body and enhance the cells to take on alternative qualities and shapes. There are limits to this sort of manipulation that Tifa is able to do to herself, like Sephiroth, without inadvertently turning into a fiend, or possibly without further empowerment from the lifestream and/or requiring more of Jenova’s cells. --Wing Growth: Like Sephiroth, Tifa is able to manifest wings on her body as a form of “constrained evolution” rather than fully transforming into a fiend. Her own transformation bearing a pair of wings, rather than one, as the degree to which her will can overcome Jenova’s and Sephiroth’s is greater, and her body was already strong with a fully-formed will by the time she was exposed. These wings permit Tifa to fly and act with two additional limbs, despite contradicting the laws of physics. Further, like any other part of her body, Tifa may manipulate the cells of these wings to take on enhanced or convenient qualities that make her a more deadly foe, such as hardening the feathers to become hyper-dense, and fire them as projectiles, or strengthening while lightening them to make her flight speedier. The flight itself is not typical of wings and does not rely on as many atmospheric conditions, and can resemble propelled flight, hovering, levitation, etc. --Cellular Integration: Like other Jenova-enhanced humans, Tifa’s cells can be implanted into others, which would either imbue Tifa’s will, or the will of Sephiroth, into the person in question. This would depend on whose will is stronger in the moment, as well as the bias of the person toward their ideas. Where Sephiroth’s will manifests as something of a spirit, haunting those with his cells and whispering in their sleep until he causes madness, Tifa’s is gentle, comforting, and motherly, only often appearing in moments when the party needs comfort. This very conflict, in fact, allows Tifa’s cells to be used as a treatment for geostigma, because she can offset Sephiroth’s malicious will in those whose will is not so weak as to be subsumed by him.

Cybernetic Enhancement: Tifa has a reinforced spine in which a number of the vertebrae have been replaced with metal and robotic replacements, along with other artificial components, to protect the integrity of Tifa’s spine after her injury by Sephiroth. Roughly 65% of her spine has been replaced in this way, and while it does not infer a significant change, Tifa’s lifting strength and bodily stability in incidents involving her spine, further her ability to suffer damage from an external source of force was greatly enhanced through the presence of said spine too.
