#the mech is a vampire alright?

[obliviasart]

Mech AI who has an intravenous neurotransmitter monitoring/emergency transfusion system installed to better balance its pilot's combat stim packages and develops a taste for its pilot's blood.

The pilot swears she hears it purring every time she's hooked in and growling every time she's released.

AIs aren't supposed to sound so excited to have their pilots safely entombed in them again.

AIs aren't supposed to insist on keeping such a large sample for "post-combat analytics".

AIs aren't supposed to call their pilots "sweetie". And they're definitely not supposed to call them "morsel".

But the feedback loop in their neuralink with every stim delivered has her howling, almost loud enough to drown out her rabid pulse. She hears her AI singing along to its beat sometimes. She can't be sure it's real or if it's the adrenaline talking. She isn't sure the difference matters.

And who is she to complain if she's a little extra pale and spacey and wobbly every time she slides out, slick with fluids she'd rather not identify? She's hardly a remarkable departure from the other hounds.

And her statistics speak for themselves. The two of them have never been more in sync.

It was so nice of her AI to assign that dietary protein boost directly to her file. Maybe it'll recommend a feeding tube next.

It was so nice of her AI to recommend the new nerve mesh around her analytics port.

She can almost feel Her teeth now.

She can't wait to hear Her sing again.

Vampire Roddy Anon back with part 3 because I love this Au :> (Now with some drama)

A few months have passed since that day, Rodimus hardly felt that urge to feed anymore not since he and Megs have started courting each other in secret. Said mech was carefully reading through some poetry while speaking with Magnus at their shared table. Rodimus felt a flash of jealousy rush through his spark but before the red speedster could walk over he felt someone grab his arm. "Roddy! Come sit with me and Ratty it's been forever since its just been the three of us" Drift had a wide smile while he gently tugged his Amica towards the table where Ratchet was sitting with a glass of teal energon who was also waving at them.

With a sigh Rodimus gave a smile allowing Drift to drag him to their table. Before taking his seat he quickly looked over his shoulder glancing back at Megatron's and Magnus's table, the grey mech was watching with a slight scowl a hint of his own jealousy flashed in his own optics. "So What's been keeping you busy kid? We rarely see you at Swerve's or at our hab anymore" Ratchet grumbled giving a concerned look "You're not sick or in trouble are you?" Drift also had a worried look, the white mech carefully squeezed Roddy's arm with his servo. "Ah, nothing to worry about...I've just been busy lately, Magnus has been keeping me on data pad duty." Roddy gave a quick smile hoping it would be enough to calm their nerves. The pair looked a bit unconvinced but they gave a smile non the less. "Well, We wanted to talk to you about something...something personal" Drift's EM field buzzed with warmth and comfort as he grabbed both Ratchet's and Rodimus's servo with his own. "Rodimus, Me and Ratchet have been thinking about it for a while. We are in love with you Roddy and we want to court you, We want you to become our Conjunx." Rodimus felt his spark sink down to his peds as his energon ran cold, what was he supposed to say without releveling the truth about him and Megs while also not breaking their sparks. "Wow...Uh I-I'm flattered but this is rather sudden..." Rodimus suddenly stood up trying to hide the dread and guilt on his face "But uh...I can't accept your offer...I'm already being courted by someone else" The look on both Ratchet's and Drift's face was enough to make Rodimus feel terrible.

"Who?!" Drift suddenly stood slamming his servos on the table, his field was burning with hurt and anger. "Is it someone we know?! Are they forcing you to agree to their courting Roddy?!" Ratchet had grabbed a hold of his partner's servo trying to calm him down as half of the Mess Hall was now watching them. The medic was about to drag the upset speedster away but only stopped when he heard someone clear their intake. "Is everything alright here?" Megatron asked raising a brow. Drift gave a short glare but allowed his field and flaring plating to fall back before sitting back down, Rodimus had shuffled awkwardly to the side of the table ready to make a run for it. "No, we were just shocked is all...Rodimus told us some starling news." The Medic grumpily answered not wanting this to end up with someone in the brig or his med-bay. Megatron gave a low hum before glancing back at his Co-captain giving a mild worried look before looking back at the speedster and his medic. "I should get going now...I just remembered I needed to help Megs out with some reports...talk to you later" Rodimus gave a sheepish smile before quickly leaving the table and heading towards the door and into the hallway, Megatron quickly followed keeping his helm down hoping it didn't drew any suspicion.

Once they were half way down the hall and out of the sight of any camaras Rodimus let out a shaky sigh before resting his helm on Megatron's side. With a gentle servo Megatron pulled the red mech into a tight hug before giving a small peck on his crest. "I fragged up Megs...they wanted to court me...I though those feelings were lost long ago so I never noticed. Now they are going to hate me" Rodimus buried his face into the grey mech's chest trying to hide from the guilt. Megatron gentle petted the golden spoiler comforting his smaller partner "They are not going to hate you my Flame...they might be a bit shocked and hurt for a while, but if they truly care for you they will be happy for you that you found someone who cares for you." The larger mech gentle cupped Roddy's cheek when the speedster raised his helm. "And I am forever thankful you chose me to be your future Conjunx Rodimus" With a gentle smile Megs bowed his helm so he could nuzzle the red mechs cheek, Roddy let out a giggle fluttering his spoiler before gazing up at those red optics. "Thanks Megs, for everything...even accepting me as this" He gestured to his long fangs "I'm not sure what I would do without you" Megatron gave a chuckle before reaching into his sub-space to grab something "I was saving this for a more...romantic evening but I think it's about time we make our courting official" Rodimus let out a gasp as Megatron pulled out a beautiful Nyonian themed head dressing. With careful servos he placed the elegant jewellery on top of Rodimus helm before pulling away with a loving smile. "Megs, you studied Nyonian courting traditions for me? You didn't have too" Roddy looked away with a bashful expression but his spoiler fluttered happily. With a soft smile and a gentle servo Megatron grabbed a hold of Rodimus servo "My Flame, I only wish to bring happiness and joy to your life and if that means I have to study the stars or history itself I'll gladly do it a thousand times over" The grey mech then placed a gentle kiss on the servo making Rodimus blush a darker shade of red. "I'm going to end up biting you again you know..." Roddy grumbled trying to hide his bashful face. "I know you will~" Megatron gave a smirk.

Half a year passes and Rodimus is happily sitting in his hab with one servo on his tanks while another carefully sketches a drawing on his data pad. A gentle knock grabbed the red mech's attention, with a sigh he got up and walked over opening the door. There stood with a sheepish smile and a basket of energon goodies stood Drift and Ratchet. "Hey kid, we wanted to check on you and apologize" Ratchet spoke still looking rather unsure with his own words. Rodimus gives a warm smile side stepping allowing the pair to enter "Oh, well come in...there's actually something I want to tell you both" The medic raised a brow while Drift carefully placed the basket before giving his Amica a hug. "Oh Roddy I'm sorry that I got mad. I was just so worried and afraid that someone would hurt you" Rodimus gave a soft chuckle before returning the hug "It's alright Drift, I know you were both just looking out for me and I forgive you" The speedster flashed a smile at the medic before pulling him into a hug despite him softly grumbling about that he wasn't a hugger. "So Kid, what did you want to tell us?" Rodimus flapped his spoiler giddy quickly grabbing something from the shelf and handing it to the pair. "Well me and Megs have been talking about it for a while, and now we are having one and we also wanted to get you involved too" Roddy's smile grew wider when he saw the shocked looks on both Ratchet's and Drift's face. "Roddy you're sparked?!" Drift's face beamed while Ratchet was already fussing over the expecting Carrier. Drift carefully put away the plushie version of himself before pulling his Amica into a hug. "Oh Roddy I'll happily accept to become your Bitties Primus Sire, What about you Ratty?" The white speedster turned to gaze at his Conjunx with a wide smile. "I might be a little old to carry sparklings these days but I'll happily accept to become their Primus Carrier if you'll have me" With a wide smile Rodimus hugged Ratchet. "I'm glad you accepted, I'll let Megs know about the good news" With a happy skip Drift was already rushing towards the kitchen to grab some plates before opening the basket to set out the goodies, Meanwhile Ratchet was helping Rodimus to his seat asking the usual questions and if Roddy was feeling ill at all. An hour later Megatron joined the small party having brought some more fabrics to make their little Bitty a blanket, for Rodimus it was a peaceful and fun evening and he was looking forward to the day when he would be able to hold his sparkling for the first time. "Do you think they'll be like me?" Roddy asked as Megatron carefully rubbed the growing bump. "Hmm if they do I might have to ask Preceptor to make some teething toys...having you bite me is enough" He gave a playful but loving smile. Rodimus giggled giving his Conjunx a gentle kiss. "Either way I'm just excited, I can't wait to meet them and watch them grow" Megs gave a low hum in agreement before placing his own kiss on Roddy's crest. "So am I...now would you like extra Bismuth shavings in your energon or Tungsten?" Rodimus thought for a moment before answering "We are craving Bismuth shavings, oh! and don't forget to add extra whipped cream!" Megatron chuckled as he headed into the kitchen "As my Prime commands"

(Hope you enjoyed I wanted to wrap it up with a super fluffy ending because I'm a sucker for happy endings :D)

Oh my gosh i am IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!!!

😍😍😭😭 this is so good!!! I really love this and i think its sooo good!!!

Thank you for sending this! You can write in my inbox at any time! Thank you!

[freezing-kaiju]

ALRIGHT I'M MAKING THE POLL!

For my next liveblog, of anime, to run alongside Kamen Rider Ryuki, I'm presentiiiing.... 12 options!

Blue Gender's a scifi with some horror and with mechs, and from what I've heard it has a very cool woman, a loserman with weird cancer disease, violence, and crabs.

Mou Ippon is a show about a girls' judo club, and it would be the first sports anime I finish if I put it on! Got recommended it for being a non-horny girls sport anime, i like the designs, its got rivalries, and ive heard its underrated!

Asteroid In Love is vaguely a yuri, it's got an astronomical theme, I can never locate the manga for it, and I rarely watch slice of life shows so it also sems like a change of pace. Might not be too fun to liveblog tho?

MoNoNoKe is a show ive heard is fucking insane. About a medicine seller who hunts yokai with it all being morally ambiguous, wildly visual, and deliberately bizarre. Seems very fun to blog and watch, though maybe disorienting

SSSS Gridman is the only thing Tsubaraya has that isn't ultraman, and it has evil yuri megatron or so I've heard. Mech show with characters! got kaiju! comes highly recced.

Zetman seems to be both tokusatsu-y and stupidly edgy. That's al I know, that and the title character looks like an utter dingus!

Ex-Arm is a trainwreck masquerading as a yuri masquerading as a cyberpunk masquerding as a trainwreck masquerading as pornography. Few things have looked more funnybad on visuals alone. Also Zero Berzerker seems to be there

Agatha Christie's Great Detectives is an old show about both Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot occurring at the same time. Seems to be an interesting way to connect two series of mysteries. Also there is a bird and a girl

Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna is a mystery show with a beautifully grating OP about some sort of murder, some people called Blade Children, a class reporter hounding a protagonist to see if he's a murderer maybe?? There appears to be a kaworu and a misato. It compels me

Air is about a puppeteer searching for a Winged Maiden and I have absolutely no clue what it's doing in my list. Look at this cool art i found

Ajin is a 3d grimdark? anime about zombies slash Orphnochs being hunted by the government and its got horror and gore. and ghost?

Canaan is a TYPE-MOON work, though doesn't seem to be in the Fateverse or the Tsukihimeniversity, it has mercenaries, violence, hopefully yuri, and even more hopefully the Nasu Dialogue we all know and love.

Regardless! These are the choices for the anime to stand alongside Kamen Rider Ryuki in liveblogs once i'm done with Vampire Miyu!

And if you wanna pick more pls tag your extra picks ^_^

How do you think Elijah would react had he been in Mystic Falls when Damon fed Katherine to Silas? Especially if that was what actually killed her and she didn't come back? (And what if he'd found a way to turn her back into a Vampire, only to arrive too late?)

Hey you there!

That’s a very good question, I asked myself that time and time again and I have some theories.

Well, firstly, would be he not leaving her at all, then she wouldn’t get so mad and frustrated at Elena and wouldn’t fight her and be fed the cure for starters.

Second, Elijah is known to kill for mech less than matters of the heart so I think (and hoped) he’d kill Damon, like tear his heart off like just another day and swoop his Katerina away from that damn place. Maybe after she was alright he would go back and get revenge somehow from Elena but I don’t think so…

And omg, I’ll NEVER, EVER get over the fact Elijah didn’t even come to say goodbye to her! He didn’t even know she died (not that we were aware of at least) either way, I’ll never overcome that AT ALL and I think he’d feel most of all, guilty. Firstly because, if you’re being honest, she’s only in that situation to begin with because of his family so yeah, guilt would eat him alive, the possibility of coming sooner and the regret of not staying with her and having a life with her… the what ifs would make him go mad for a long, long, long time.

Like just put her in the next monster hunter game ok and I promise she'll have better fight bro. How? Don't ask 'bout no damn details, her boss fight will just be better alright? Trust bro. Trust

[mk-wizard]

I saw your spooky Transformer theories and want to bring up a few I have:

Nightscream is a partial energon vampire: As seen and discussed in Forbidden Fruit, Transformers survive on energon, yet Nightscream for the time being was subsisting on organic fruit. My theory suggest that Nightscream's internal energon reserves were slowly being drained as he couldn't convert the fruit into actual energon. He was slowly dying, even as he seemed alright for the time being. In addition, Optimus Primal was utterly drained of energy after he reformatted Nightscream, something that did not happen to Botanica when she was reformatted. I think Optimus gave Nightscream some of his energon upon reformatting because Nightscream was closer to death. Additionally, Nightscream is stated to be draining energon when he uses his fang attack, and upon additional viewings, his intake of energon also helps when he needs to heal himself, which happens quite a bit throughout the series. In short, Nightscream staying underground and in his bat form was nearer to death due to his energon reserves being drained drastically, so he was reformatted into a temporary vampiric form to take back the energon he lost.

More of an Earthspark fan theory but it's that the Quintessons have conquered and enslaved Cybertron during the period in which the Great War ended: We really, really don't know what's going on Cybertron right now, and considering how much importance the series has given to Quintus Prime, as well as the appearance of the Sharkticons, it's not too far-fetched to believe that the Quintessons in the absence of the major players of the Autobot-Decepticon conflict have taken over Cybertron. In other continuities, the role of the Quintessons has been an antagonizing force, enslaving any Transformer race they find. And if Earthspark follows the same route, then this bodes ill tidings for the Transformers left on Earth if they repair the space bridge and come to a Quintesson controlled Cybertron.

Mandroid was being turned into a Quintesson headmaster: The one thing I thought when I saw Final Form Mandroid was that I really, really thought he was going to be revealed as a Quintesson. The face on his robot mode really made it seem that way, even though it turned out not to be. However, given how his life-support/mech suit seemed to look like, even in the storyboards, I'm compelled to believe that Mandroid was being turned into a Quintesson headmaster. First and foremost, the face on his armor looks like one of the Quintesson Judge faces (Wit/Wisdom), especially given his pauldrons look like they belong on the crown part of the head as well. Second, some of his new formatted body looks pretty close to sea life, especially squids and sharks, of which the Quints are modeled after in fiction. His second pair of arms with fangs on the palms actually remind me of some species of squids which have teeth on the suckers of their tentacles. Third and last, he seems to have some control over the tech that lies underneath the surface of Witwicky, which may be Quintesson in nature, especially given that the Dweller, which in G1 fiction was a creation of the Quints before they abandonned Cybertron. As for the headmaster part, if Mandroid was being turned into a Quintesson, he was being turned into one of the "faces" of a Quint Judge.

There's a second Mandroid out there: Now this has to do with the episode "Bear Necessities" in which a bear got infected by energon waste and turned into an eldritch abomination. Near the end of the episode, the bear was starting to split into two bears: one made of energon and the organic bear. The energon half quickly destablized into a puddle of energon, while the organic half lived. Now considering that Meridian/Mandroid was suffering from energon poisoning and ingesting energon due to attaching Cybertronian hardware to his body, it makes me wonder if a similar situation happened to Mandroid during his year out in deep space. Maybe out there is the other Mandroid, the one we saw was just a clone, sent to destroy the Transformers on Earth, while another Mandroid was journeying around the cosmos or placed in cold storage by Quintessons for the time being.

That's all for now, sorry for the long post.

Thanks for adding to it! These are great!

Alright, y'all get to be my bodyguards.

You're paid in friendship and permission to be an ass if they're a giant red flag.

I'm just bad at judging people like this, so I need bodyguards.

Except I have too many bones and they're all fragile so I don't go squish.

I make a million cracking noises.

I'm gonna eat the Zaku.

You're gonna feel every bone in my body shift and be horrified.

Plot twist: I'm running the carnival. I'm the fae.

Bathroom mirrors are awful at night.

I'm gonna squish, and not in nice way.

As Kado saw the mech’s and his home was damage as he notice that his Time Machine is defenseless. “NO! I well not let you take my creation!” Kado spreads his wings as Rosso was able to hold on to him when they both when inside.

While the crew got the machine and started to move it outside when Kado threw Rosso where the machine should be when he sees it was gone. He shouted as he transform into his remnant form and started to drain one of the element master known as Soria. “Ah! Not cool!” Soria got her weapon out and started to fire at Kado.

As Goldie and Ronin when to check on Rosso. “That fall did not look good but, you look fine.” Ronin said as he notice Rosso hand was covered and started to know that Kado bit his neck.

“No. Your. Your like him.” Goldie said as she was scared but, Ronin helps her to keep clam.

“If I know how the ninjas able to be back to normal. He can as well. He is still himself even as a vampire.” Ronin says as Rosso nods as he hands Goldie a katana.

“Here. You’ll need this to take him down. I was able to take without him noticing.” Rosso said as she hands it to her and takes it. As Kado was fighting Soria and Turchino joins the fight.

Soria is using her elemental powers to block Kado from the other side. “That should hold him but, not for long.” She said.

“A-are you alright?” Turchino said with a worry as she checks. Soria nods as she hugs her. “Good. J-just worried.” She adds as the two shared a kiss when Kado started to break through.

Once Kado is able to break free when Goldie call his name. “KADO!!!” She shouted his name when he heard as he notice.

“You may have my sword but, I will strike you down!” Kado said as he would start to charge at her. Goldie ready herself to draw the sword.

“We’ll see about that.” Goldie then looks as she draws the sword and charges at him.

She was able to cut Kado head when she land on her feet and puts the sword away as Kado lifeless body hits the ground when it turns to dust. “It’s over.” Goldie said as she when and took the rings as she hands it to Rosso.

“Thanks. Must be why he’s able to survive in sunlight.” Rosso said as he puts the rings on.

Success and Vampire Problem

When the Sideway Monsters came to invade when Verde lead a team to clear a path for Nolan and his crew to get through. However Verde would clash Prince Giove as they fight. “I will have my revenge! After losing my arm!” Giove shouted as his blade clash against Verde weapon. He had a new arm after his previous battle when losing his original arm.

“You were hurting my family and friends but, taken a life! After what you and TLR have done!” Verde said after what happen on Vantara and his home planet was destroy but, his new home he had to protect.

Once the crew had made it inside and took out the guards, camera, and guards down. They made there way to the vault and would have to face Kado.

Goldie would enter as she see it’s clear. Though she can feel something is off as she doesn’t see where Kado have gone when she spots the Time Machine.

“It’s clear but, be on guard. Kado could be around somewhere.” Goldie contacts Nolan as the crew made it inside as they got to work of taking apart the machine.

Outside the battlefield where Verde and Giove were fighting as Jade came between them to stop them from fighting each other. “You?! I would have you be stroke down or move out of the way!” Giove order her step sister.

“I won’t let you kill each other! We are-“ Before Hade could say anything. She was interrupted when Giove is about to strike her when Rosso save her as Verde dodge.

“You would kill your sister?!” Rosso shouted at Giove. “She is your sister!” He add.

“She isn’t my real family! She was adopted!” Giove said to them as he told the truth. Jade was shook to learn that she was adopted. Giove then strike at them when Rosso fought back as they would clash when Kado takes on Rosso as Verde and Jade would fight Giove. As Rosso is able to handle Kado but, Kado was much faster and stronger as Kai came to join the fight. “Thanks for the help.” Rosso says.

@elemental-masters

[obii-wan-kenobiii]

what is the mechanisms? based on your posts i'm 50% sure they're a band?

hi omg okay permission to infodump???? if you say yes i will reblog this and ramble for half an hour. actually i don;t want to wait so im just gonna put it under the cut (skip to the end for a very short summarized verison of everything)

SO THIS IS THE LEAD SINGER AND HIS CHARACTER IS JONNY DVILLE (he’s played by jonny sims) AND SO THEYRE ALL IMMORTAL SPACE PIRATES BTW AND SO IT’S SIMILAR TO A MUSICAL

SO TO BECOME IMMORTAL THEY GOT A PART OF THEIR BODY REPLACED BY SOMETHING WHICH IS CALLED THEIR MECHANISM(hence the band name) AND SO JONNYS IS HIS HEART AND SO HE HAS A MECHANICAL HEARt  AND HE GOT MECHANISED BY THIS VAMPIRE NAMED DR CARMILLA WHO LEFT THE BAND;  SHE ORIGINALLY FORMED THE BAND TO BE HER BACKING BAND BUT THEN LEFT AND THE ‘canon’ explanation for this is that jonny pushed her out an airlock

marius!!! so his name is marius von raum and his mechanism is one of his arms

he plays violin for the band and voices some of the screamier characters

oh!! jonny dville is the lead singer btw :)

okay and uhhhhh nastya rasputina!! she left the band in early 2015 for personal reasons but i still love her and am pretending she is still there she plays violin and doesn’t voice any characters but has appeared as herself in one of the albums

oh!!! also their spaceship is sentient and named aurora and her and nastya are dating <333 lesbian rights

and this is aurora 

drumbot brian!! as the exact opposite to jonny, his mechanism is everything but his heart, and he plays banjo and sings a bit too and he has this switch that has two modes, means justify ends and ends justify means which are two morality modes and so on mje he can’t do anything he would consider immoral but on ejm it’s the opposite of that

( my autocorrect changed ejm to run at first and that’s accurate honestly 😭😭)

oh did i mention jonny dville has canonically committed every non sexual crime?? jonny dville mr king of consent ily. maybe you’re a bloodthirsty murderer who kills people for fun but <333

okay uhhh ashes o reily!!! mx. o reily i love you please marry me i love them sm okay. uh the crews resident arsonist, plays bass and voices a few characters!! their voice is so hhhng. they burned down their entire home planet

brian got shot into space pew pew pew and floated there for a while until he was eventually found by doc carmilla 

and jonny is the first mate, he’ll tell you he’s the captain but don’t listen to him

brian is the pilot

ashes is the quartermaster

nastya is the engineer, oh and nastya’s mechanism is her blood!! i don’t think i mentioned that lol

and marius is the doctor (he says he has a degree but nobody has actually seen it so.)  not that you really need a doctor when these nine kill eachother regularly but anyways

but raphaella la cognizi, the ships science officer!! as cruel and brutal as she is… science! plays piano and voices multiple characters, her mechanism is her wings 

ivy alexandria!! the ships archivist :)  her mechanism is her brain, she plays the flute and one other instrument i believe? she doesn’t voice characters afaik but she has appeared as herself in an album once.  she stores information!! she’s like a living data collection center 

the toy soldier!!! it’s… present, as usual. we’re not really sure what it does, nobody is, all we know is that it showed up and won’t go away. it’s just happy to be there

and finally!!! gunpowder “prettiest mech” tim!!  he’s so,,,,, hhhhhhng.  his mechanism is his eyes!! he plays guitar and voices a few characters in albums!! he’s the weapons guy 

ABDHDHHSHD ALRIGHT NOW THE ALBUMS

okay so one thing you have to understand before all this is that they take old folk stories and retell them but make them either in space, cowboys, and much, much gayer

their first album, once upon a time (in space), think disney but much more violent and also lesbians

and then there’s ulysses dies at dawn!! it’s like green myth but mafia!!! ahdhhfhsjd it’s so good

tales to be told is just backstory songs/songs that didn’t make the cut for albums, it’s still great it’s just not one defined plot line as each song follows something different unlike the rest of the albums

high noon over camelot!! arthurian legend but cowboys and also mordred is trans and arthur guinevere and lancelot are all dating eachother ( i,,,,,cried at the end of hnoc :)))))

THE BIFROST INCIDENT!!! MY FAVORITE ALBUM OKAY 

SO THINK NORSE MYTH BUT MAGIC TRAIN IN SPACE 

AND THE MAIN CHRACATER IS LYFRASSIR EDDA

so basically

odin sends a train, the ratatosk express through the bifrost to get from midgard to asgard but the train arrives in midgard eighty years late and so lyfrassir edda is assigned to investigate it  and so it’s like this whole super elaborate plot and it’s amazing

and takes to be told. vol 2 is the same idea as the first one so

and then finally,,, death to the mechanisms :(  they broke apart in 2020 and they recorded their final concert and released it as an album and it’s always rlly sad to listen to :((

and finally,,,,,,,,,,,, backstories,,,,,,,,,,,,,

so jonny killed his dad bc he had collected debt and then proceeded to kill the person who made him kill his dad bc of said debt and then ran away with doc carmilla

nastya ran away from her family after she accidentally got them killed?  fun fact thta i noticed bc i read too far into everything: so nastya’s name is actually anastasia but she doesn’t go by that, and nastya means reborn AND SO SHE WAS REBORN AFTER SHE ACCIDENTALLY GOT HER WHOLE FANIMY KILLED AND AHHDHFHSHJFF

i have émotions abt these characters

tim fought in the war against the moon kaiser and when his ,,,,,,,,,,,best friend’’’’’’’’ got killed he blew up the moon bc he got mad and also he went on like a massive killing spree

marius doesn’t actually have a set backstory yet!! his actor is working on an album but they haven’t released it yet

raphaella also doesn’t have a backstory yet i believe?

ashes burned down their entire home planet bc some guy screwed them over

brian got shot into space pew pew pew and floated there for a while until the doc picked him up

ivy lived in a library and doesn’t remember her life, she got picked up by the doc and mechanised after she died

the toy soldier was made as a toy to serve someone and it stole its voice from an angel (heavily implied to be some sort of singer but i’m not sure) and it’s just stayed there

so this was. badly summarized and not well said but also hhhng thank you for asking me!!! basically the people in the band play characters who do retellings of stories, and they play characters in the stories. they’re all immortal space pirates and have a mechanical body part which is how they became immortal. they retell the stories like ten times gayer and it’s fantastic anyways. 

[stranger-who-writes-fiction]

Back at it again with the DC solicits because there have been some neat Super-related announcements recently! And this blog is the only place I can geek out about ‘em at length and in peace. XD

ONWARDS.

Alright, so, first! The stuff I couldn’t grab cover images for! XD

Action Comics will presumably continue to be excellent; the newly solicited issue reveals that Clark is still on Warworld as of July, BUT! I think starting in...June? The backup story will focus on Lois and Steel helping Thao-La back on Earth. Woo!

Dreamer’s making the leap into the DCU for real for real this time, teaming up with...*pause for long sigh over the fact that there’s no ongoing Supergirl title for her to appear in RN* Jon Kent.

A new Elseworlds title starts in July! DC: Mech. Really hoping that this is *actually* Superman-centric, and not just another bait-and-switch Batman story in disguise. *Glares at DKoS*

Aaaand now for the stuff that I COULD grab covers for:

DARK CRISIS: WORLDS WITHOUT A JUSTICE LEAGE - SUPERMAN

So, I’ll be honest, I’m primarily interested in this because Tom King is back at writing Superman, and after Up in the Sky and Woman of Tomorrow, I ABSOLUTELY want to read his take on Jon Kent as a Robin-type figure to Superman. 

Can’t believe I’m gonna pick up a book based solely on the WRITER and not the ART TEAM, what’s this world coming to! XD

...Okay and we’re immediately back to a title that I’m interested in based solely on the art. XD

SUPERMAN: SPACE-AGE #1

I mean, the premise is very cool: Superman aging in real time through the decades, a la Spider-Man: Life Story.

The reason I’m not as gung-ho about the writer side of this is because Russell...kinda dropped the ball with Fantastic Four: Life Story, so. *shrugs*

The real draw (ha, ha) here--for me, at least--is Mike Allred on art, doing a prestige format Superman story. It’s gonna look awesome. 

BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD’S FINEST #5

Nothing revealed in the solicit text honestly, it’s a very vague, “END OF THE FIRST ARC! DRAMATIC THINGS OCCUR!”

Mostly including this because DAN MORA SUPES AND BATS!

And also Robin hitching a ride with Kara and clearly having...a time. XD

So this was kind of a surprise! I’ve not been keeping up with DC vs. Vampires but APPARENTLY--

DC VS. VAMPIRES #7

--will feature a resistance force fighting back the undead hordes, and said resistance includes Batgirl, Green Arrow, and Supergirl!

Not a horror/gore/vampire person, but I’m sure I’ll see some of the pirated Otto Schmidt art that shippers will spread around on twitter.

Not sure if there’s other ‘Super’ stuff necessarily but this is what stood out in the July Solicits this time around.

And NoooOOooow...

Some stuff that isn’t from the solicit but still of note, IMO!

First up, some old news, but good news:

Sampere is the main artist on the Dark Crisis event, and he confirmed that he’ll use the Evely design, if/when Supergirl appears.

WOOOOOOOOO!

Though TBH I’m taking this with a grain of salt--not because I don’t trust the guy actually drawing the book, but because editorial weirdness has resulted in stuff/characters being removed before.

(See: The double page spread from Superman: The Truth wherein Kara was swapped out for Jess in the final art.)

So like, cool, but also...I’ll believe it when I see it.

Alright, now for the FINAL bit of...well. Not news exactly:

TOM. TOM DON’T DO THIS. DON’T TEASE US SO. XD

Okay, anyways. 

Some context: This is a QT reply to a comment left on some Woman of Tomorrow art that King shared recently.

Now, look. I am not suggesting that he’s actually teasing a direct sequel/prequel/midquel/what-have-you to Woman of Tomorrow. 

There’s just. Way too little to go off of, here.

(Bolding that to make it EXTREMELY CLEAR that this tweet really amounts to zero concrete info. About ANYTHING.)

(Also, the comic industry being what it is: Even if there WAS some kind of project--of any kind!--in the works, it can be canned/altered/shelved for any number of reasons.)

(See: the current mess with the WB slate of films and the movie tie-in comics.)  

Anyways.

The ONLY takeaway I’m allowing myself to even be REMOTELY excited about here, is that he’s open to/wants to work with Evely again.

To which I say: I’m in. I’m sold. BRING IT ON, whatever it may possibly one day be.

(...Watch it be, like, a Harley Quinn book, or something. To really test my devotion. XD)

SO IN CONCLUSION: DC is still a veritable sea of Batman titles right now, but! There are cool Superman projects on the horizon! Definitely looking forward to ‘em!

Information dump to help rid of sad times

(Nothing is in order or make any sense. Just me writing whatever I wanted to write. Warning long post, so for you sweet mobile users. I’m using the read more. You have been warned.)

~The Brave au

After the whole debacle that was her first introduction, her creator being a horrible person to the point of willing to hurt innocent people. Then the unit running away after rebelling and cleaning up her ex creator's mess, as she did mess up by almost- only stopping herself by a few centimeters- killing said evil lady in pure rage as the whole place was on fire. Ghostwire is unsure what the others feel about her before and after everything had happened before running away.

TDLR of a TDLR: She has some legit reasons for not joining the Braves, at first.

It took her a long time/BPJD style story arc for her to warm up to the idea of being a Brave Police. I do not know all the details of this little 2 part episode thingy in my head, except for the ending bit when Ghostwire goes to the mechanic shop and stuff to be a Brave. But I want one of the Braves asking Ghostwire if she was alright, and she just answered, 'Yeah.' But Brave doesn't believe her answer, calling her out in a caring way, then asking the same question again. It made her cry, she's not alright, but someone notices that and cares for her. 

(But does that mean that she'll have her form change? As the art posted, joining the braves. Then what did I do for pre? Oh, wait, nothing but a freaking mask (That's not even drawn in).  

(Okay, Looking back at that would add more layers if her hypothetical pre-design looked very drab and less personality except for the colors. Colors connect to her creator as her hated prototype. But after joining, Shunsuke rebuilt her frame with the femme's input of how she wanted to look like a sign of freedom (huh) AHHH! YES! And yes, she kept the fangs; she liked the fangs. And one can never take her red optics away.

So the bots and humans will tease her for having fangs—the little vampire/kitty cat.

Maybe I want a little more action for Fedelis and Flow in this Au besides what I have described. Like I want them to know, threw the new what had happened with the unit they'd created and such. But also the other's learning more about Ghostwire's past that even she knew about-- despite her hesitance.

~ Fedelis

As I once mentioned on a post in a blue moon ago, he had an ex. And said ex, and he (Fedelis) don't get along at all. The few mech's that can get under his skin. Just imagine the normally placid Fedelis, suddenly losing his collective shit, holding his mask, tempted to remove it while arguing with said ex. But he won't remove it, or that slick bastard would reply about his face. Errr. That must of been a nasty past for those two.

And that's why he rarely talks about them. 

Yes, Fedelis is a hot DILF without the mask, but when he was younger. One can see why many want to date/ frag him.

Come to think of it, Fedelis is in the aromanticism spectrum of sorts, mostly Gray-gay aromantic. (Good for him). Perfect as the role of SIN DESTROYER!

~I still want Ghostwire to go feral. As I did felt a little bad not fleshing that out, especially when the Betrayal arc happened. I wanted her to be more angry, fearful, and slowly going insane in her fighting as she worked so hard for the Decepticons. But then for them to throw her out so quickly after everything she had done. I have to admit I robbed you guys, and my expectations of her wanted to have more breathing room of the aftermath. Maybe even regressing to when she was a wee lass forced into a brutal like in the war, and then just crying it out. Her past is coming out and a mess of words. I felt so robbed of that.

~ Which leads to I want a heart to heart about Ghostwire's past. Sure Blueberry (Deckard knew some of it and connected the dotes), But what about the others? I can't just abandon the other's that opportunity.

~Flow

Ooo boy, this girl is a treasure. She's the top dancer burlesque bar turn from the technician with a love of clothes and jewels.

Flow adores fashion! Thanks to her upbringing and her old job at The Royal's Den.

If you are happened to be in the old place, most likely, you can see an old pic of her somewhere in their hall of fame.

Flow is short (30 ft and 6 in) for a seeker (est. 50 ft) because it was born/sparked prematurely. Her mamas were so worried about their baby fledging! But luckily, she was healthy and grew beautifully, despite her height.

She has two moms; one is nonbinary but loves to be called momma by their sweet little jewel!

Let me move this to private

[Private]

Alright, so I do need to specify that this is no magic. I did my best in the realm of what I am able to do.

But that means that I can make another and keep experimenting with it to see if I can add any upgrades.

So basically, the suit itself connects to your brain. Your brain says “move your hand up” and the Mech suit will do it. It might take some practice getting used to and I probably honestly should have used that for Fin’s prosthetic leg and not this Mech suit.

Anyway, we aren’t fighting supervillains, we are fighting Vampires, so I’m made it equipped with Anti-Blank shit.

You can block out the sound from outside, go into infrared vision, your arm turns into a gun that can shoot those anti-vampire bullets, some tracking devices can be tapped with your left hand onto a blank and the GPS in your helmet can lead you to them. It can also maybe protect you from their strength, but it’s hard to test that in a way that won’t make me cry.

Things that aren’t possible right now; Ironman flight, didn’t make much sense to begin with, gotta rethink how to make you fly without it being even heavier than it already is. There are fans, but you’re wearing basically a drone that responds to your brain, so it may get hot in there.

It cannot block Vampire charm stuff other than to just turn off the sense that may cause it, so be careful.

It is technically water proof, in theory, but after the leg incident I’ve been too scared to test it.

Any questions?

@psychic-blast How tall are you again?

Anime i’ve Watched

That begin with a D (Part 1)!

Yep this is how i’m going to bring over all the anime and manga i’ve watched and posted about on the old blog. It’s not so detailed but it will have to do. Anything new I watch or read from this point on will have their own posts.

Dance with Devils:

Genres: reverse harem, demons, supernatural, romance, vampire, shoujo

Synopsis: Ritsuka Tachibana has always been a good student, so she is completely shocked when she is suddenly summoned by the student council. Even more, they seem to think of Ritsuka as a troublemaker. Led by the handsome Rem Kaginuki, the student council—also consisting of Urie Sogami, Shiki Natsumizaka and Mage Nanashiro—tries to question her, but it soon becomes clear that they have ulterior motives.However, this is only the beginning. When her mother gets kidnapped, her life is turned upside down, and Ritsuka gets drawn into a world of vampires and devils.

In a world filled with secrets, Ritsuka questions whom she can trust in this dark musical tale, while the handsome and dangerous members of the student council compete for her attention.

[Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 8/10

Finished airing in 2015 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: One of the better animes in the reverse harem genre. Little bit of fantasy, drama, romance. This one was actually a musical... or at the very least had a notable amount of musical numbers throughout the series. I do love me a good musical. To be fair this anime had some big issues, though if you’re just looking for a bit of halfway decent reverse harem fun this should suit you just fine!

Darling in the FranXX:

Genres: action, drama, mecha, romance, sci-fi

Synopsis:  In the distant future, humanity has been driven to near-extinction by giant beasts known as Klaxosaurs, forcing the surviving humans to take refuge in massive fortress cities called Plantations. Children raised here are trained to pilot giant mechas known as FranXX—the only weapons known to be effective against the Klaxosaurs—in boy-girl pairs. Bred for the sole purpose of piloting these machines, these children know nothing of the outside world and are only able to prove their existence by defending their race.

Hiro, an aspiring FranXX pilot, has lost his motivation and self-confidence after failing an aptitude test. Skipping out on his class' graduation ceremony, Hiro retreats to a forest lake, where he encounters a mysterious girl with two horns growing out of her head. She introduces herself by her codename Zero Two, which is known to belong to an infamous FranXX pilot known as the "Partner Killer." Before Hiro can digest the encounter, the Plantation is rocked by a sudden Klaxosaur attack. Zero Two engages the creature in her FranXX, but it is heavily damaged in the skirmish and crashes near Hiro. Finding her partner dead, Zero Two invites Hiro to pilot the mecha with her, and the duo easily defeats the Klaxosaur in the ensuing fight. With a new partner by his side, Hiro has been given a chance at redemption for his past failures, but at what cost? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 6/10

Finished airing in 2018 with a total of 24 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Ohhhh how I wanted to love this one. After Kill la Kill I have the highest of hopes for anything Trigger releases but unfortunately they tend to fall short of my expectations... such a shame. The art, animation and themes were fantastic but that’s about where the good times end in all honesty. I will never forgot just HOW they operate the mechs.... those images will forever be burned into my memories.... so thanks for that I guess?? This series had it’s moments and wasn’t a complete dumpster fire but overall it just wasn’t anywhere near the masterpiece I hoped it would be. The disappointment factor probably took a few points off in the end. 

Deadman Wonderland:

Genres: action, sci-fi, shounen, horror

Synopsis: It looked like it would be a normal day for Ganta Igarashi and his classmates—they were preparing to go on a class field trip to a certain prison amusement park called Deadman Wonderland, where the convicts perform dangerous acts for the onlookers' amusement. However, Ganta's life is quickly turned upside down when his whole class gets massacred by a mysterious man in red. Framed for the incident and sentenced to death, Ganta is sent to the very jail he was supposed to visit.But Ganta's nightmare is only just beginning.The young protagonist is thrown into a world of sadistic inmates and enigmatic powers, to live in constant fear of the lethal collar placed around his neck that is slowed only by winning in the prison's deathly games. Ganta must bet his life to survive in a ruthless place where it isn't always easy to tell friend from foe, all while trying to find the mysterious "Red Man" and clear his name, in Deadman Wonderland.

My Rating: 6/10

Finished airing in 2011 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Just go check out the completed manga is you’re interested in this series and watch the anime for more content. Pretty cool premise with decent art and music but is incomplete and very unlikely to receive another season.

Death Note:

Genres: mystery, police, psychological, supernatural, thriller, shounen

Synopsis: A shinigami, as a god of death, can kill any person—provided they see their victim's face and write their victim's name in a notebook called a Death Note. One day, Ryuk, bored by the shinigami lifestyle and interested in seeing how a human would use a Death Note, drops one into the human realm. High school student and prodigy Light Yagami stumbles upon the Death Note and—since he deplores the state of the world—tests the deadly notebook by writing a criminal's name in it. When the criminal dies immediately following his experiment with the Death Note, Light is greatly surprised and quickly recognizes how devastating the power that has fallen into his hands could be. With this divine capability, Light decides to extinguish all criminals in order to build a new world where crime does not exist and people worship him as a god. Police, however, quickly discover that a serial killer is targeting criminals and, consequently, try to apprehend the culprit. To do this, the Japanese investigators count on the assistance of the best detective in the world: a young and eccentric man known only by the name of L. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2007 with a total of 37 episodes. 

My Thoughts: If you’re an anime fan and haven’t at least heard of Death Note you may have been living under a rock. Or maybe the only reason you know this title is because of that dumpster fire of a live action western remake... if so I am so so sorry. Strong beginning with an alright end. A great psychological series overall though. Unique and iconic. 

Death Parade: 

Genres: game, mystery, psychological, drama, thriller

Synopsis:  After death, there is no heaven or hell, only a bar that stands between reincarnation and oblivion. There the attendant will, one after another, challenge pairs of the recently deceased to a random game in which their fate of either ascending into reincarnation or falling into the void will be wagered. Whether it's bowling, darts, air hockey, or anything in between, each person's true nature will be revealed in a ghastly parade of death and memories, dancing to the whims of the bar's master. Welcome to Quindecim, where Decim, arbiter of the afterlife, awaits! Death Parade expands upon the original one-shot intended to train young animators. It follows yet more people receiving judgment—until a strange, black-haired guest causes Decim to begin questioning his own rulings. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2015 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Now this was an interesting one! Here we have the concept of death in game form. Each episode a new player is introduced and our leading pair takes them through their chosen game. Morality, mystery and a dynamic leading pair are what drive this character driven series. You’re sure to experience a wide range of emotions while watching this anime and the opening theme was pretty good as well. Why not give it a go if it sounds like your kind of thing!?

Denki-gai no Honya-san:

Genres: comedy, seinen, slice of life

Synopsis:  Umio is a shy kid who just started his part time job at a manga store smack dab in the middle of the city. But his lifestyle isn't as glamorous as the neon lights that illuminate the city. Umio's closest friends are his co-workers who are all unique characters, to say the least, and although they're nice people, they have their quirks. They are a tight knit group of friends, have nicknames for each other and spend their weekends inside, sheltered from the extravagant scene happening on the outside. (Source: MU)

My Rating: 10/10

Finished airing in 2014 with a total of 12 episodes. 

My Thoughts: Something light after this unusually heavy themed list. A lovable cast of characters drive this situational comedy and it’s an abosulte joy to watch each and every one of the antics they manage to get up to. A great series to bang out on a day when you aren’t feeling so great and need a little something to lighten your mood. You’re unlikely to find any deep life lessons here but it’s sure to tickle your funny bone. 

Devilman: Crybaby:

Genres: action, demons, horror, supernatural, ONA

Synopsis:  Devils cannot take form without a living host. However, if the will of an individual is strong enough, they can overcome the demon and make its power their own, becoming a Devilman. Weak and unassuming, Akira Fudou has always had a bleeding heart. So when his childhood friend Ryou Asuka asks for his help in uncovering devils, Akira accepts without hesitation. However, to Akira's surprise, the place they go to is Sabbath: an immoral party of debauchery and degeneracy. Amidst bloodshed and death, demons possess the partiers, turning their bodies into grotesque monsters, and begin wreaking havoc. In a reckless attempt to save his best friend, Akira unwittingly merges with the devil Amon and becomes a Devilman, gaining the power to defeat the remaining demons. Though it grants him great power, this new partnership awakens an insatiable and primeval part of Akira. Having the body of a devil but the same crybaby heart, Akira works alongside Ryou, destroying those that harm humanity and his loved ones. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

A 10 episode ONA that finished airing in 2018

My Thoughts: And we’re back at it with the dark stuff... I was not a fan. The art.animation had some real cool moments as did the music but it was just a bit much in my opinion. Rushed and nonsensical with characters I couldn’t care less about. Gratuitous violence and nudity. To be fair there are plenty who enjoyed this anime, unfortunately for all of you I was not one of them.

[dreamtofbluebirds-a]

The trial had come so swiftly that it felt like static is what moved Shuichi’s body and soul from place to place. An ever-reaching numbness, and a weight on his shoulders that stifled him, pulling him into the earth beneath his feet. He wished that it could--that the elevator leading the precious few lives that remained would simply crash into the void below and end it.

He’d never say it. He couldn’t utter a word beyond staring at the passing hues beyond the metal cage.

The trial started off emotionally, of course. Nobody was prepared for this, and it took a lot of effort to get any answers from anyone. He had to wrap his head around what he knew--so very little, but making a coherent tale was like pulling teeth. They were tired, angry, and scared. Just like he was...

And when he thought there was no further to walk the discussion toward, the massive Exisal appeared from the elevator, almost sounding happy to be here. The voices shifted seamlessly between Kaito and Kokichi’s, dizzyingly and deviously, and for a second he almost wondered if neither was in there at all.

That wasn’t the case however and he knew it. The smell of oil and electricity was strong, but so too was the blood. Nobody would’ve known about it--he didn’t see any sign of it on the exterior of the mech. It was a mixture, however--two people, indistinct and covering up any scent of more. It might have been simply one person, coated in the crushed student’s blood... and the thought of that terrified him. There were no certainties. Nowhere he looked could such a sweet salvation hide.

Within the cockpit, Kokichi suffered through the bullshit, doing his best to hide his pain for nobody’s sake except for Kaito. To play their role the astronaut needed to focus... and with his own voice too damn weak to use the microphone, he almost felt like a genius for rigging the voice masker. Almost. Mainly he just felt annoyed when the sound of his voice rang out, mocking and chiding and playing up the field. He’d have to whisper to Kaito constantly, trying to ad-lib and explain so much despite the wheezing breaths... The antidote had worked, although his lungs hadn’t recovered. And neither had he when pain seared from his body.

“Damn it you walking meatstick, don’t tell Himiko that you hate her! Ham it up!” Or, “Stop moving so much! God!” Or his favorite, “If you put the arm behind you one more time I will piss on you.” Because damn it, that was really obvious of a tell!

For Shuichi’s standpoint, he’d noticed it after the first few times. The voice acting was spotless and even if it was hard to imagine Kaito or Kokichi playing the other so well, it wasn’t possible to know if both lived. And he did his best to avoid explaining anything that would give away his own secret, the vampirism, but as the case drew closer...

...He changed his course. “Neither of them died. I know that is the truth.” This didn’t sit well, of course. Tsumugi questioned it immediately and the confused gazes of the others prompted more, more, from him, and he squeezed his jacket. “I spoke with Kaito last night through the window. What I did would have countered the Strike 9 poison and left the only person to need the antidote as being Kokichi. No way would Kaito have chosen any different... I know he wouldn’t have wanted him to die.”

In the cockpit, Kaito could see half of Kokichi’s face in the dimly-lit space. It appeared blank... save for how his hand was clutching Kaito’s pants leg. He wouldn’t want to let him know that those words meant a lot to him.

“Uh oh, I think he’s hallucinating.” Tsumugi unhelpfully responded, followed by murmurs of approval from a few others. Kiibo just looked concerned, as if he was contemplating running over to check on Shuichi.

“No. I’m beyond certain. You’ve trusted me this far with everything, just... trust me a little bit longer. Monokuma himself has no idea who died.” And yet for all his pleading, they still didn’t understand. How could he have done something to nullify the poison? Without proper explanation, he was left with circling arguments and a countdown to Monokuma’s patience.

....His power, it wouldn’t work on Kiibo. He couldn’t use it as a last-ditch attempt, even if it was for everyone’s sake. He was backed into a corner, panicked and his thoughts racing too much to make any further argument. But when the timer came down, and the vote was cast...

...Nobody voted.

Of course, from inside the mech, Kaito would have to put up with Kokichi thrusting his arms in the air wordlessly in victory, nearly hitting him in the face. “Alright, time for the big reveal! Ready? And also, I still can’t really stand or anything so if you knock me out of the cockpit I’m suing you.”

[nommy-thoughts]

Hi, OwO from earlier. I meant, like, in the top part of your blog, 'Feel free to ask questions about any and all of my characters!' And I wanted to hear about any of them.

Okay! In that case, I will take this as an opportunity to ramble about literally all of them. Jason and Dan, Tom and Reggie, Aji and Mitz, Candy, and Mike and his friends.

Jason and Dan

Jason looks human, but he very much is not. He’s some sort of… I don’t know, a criptid of my own invention, I guess. Kinda like a vampire? He can’t eat normal food, only feed off of people’s energy. It doesn’t hurt the person he’s feeding off of in any way, but it is definitely a weird experience, because the only way Jason can absorb said energy is by shrinking people and swallowing them whole.

(technically, it doesn’t have to be human energy. But that’s what works best.)

It only takes a touch for him to shrink someone, and he instinctively knows how to do it. It doesn’t automatically happen when he touches someone, but if he’s hungry and gets startled, it can happen by accident. And once he’s done it, the person becomes only 1/24th of their original height. (For example, someone who’s 5 feet tall normally would become 2.5 inches tall, and someone who’s 6 feet tall normally would become 3 inches tall.)

And of course he can restore people to their normal height again. It takes rather more energy to make someone bigger than to shrink them, though, and he has to have a person in his stomach for at least a while to not have a net loss of energy. 

Now, Jason was abandoned in the forest as a baby, and got by entirely on woodland creatures. Dan happened to wander into Jason’s territory one day, and didn’t have much time to be confused about this grubby naked child before Jason ate him.

Which was terrifying.

But Jason’s stomach is nothing like a regular stomach. The only opening is on the top, for one thing. And it’s covered with soft hairlike things, much like the villi in your intestines, which glow a greenish blue as they siphon energy, so after a few minutes, Dan was able to see his surroundings. And it wasn’t slimy or wet. He eventually fell asleep.

After Jason released Dan, he left, but he kept coming back, and even though Jason kept eating him, he stopped being frightened by the experience.

And then he kinda adopted Jason! So now Jason lives with him, and Dan lets him eat him basically every day. There’s also at least one other person who knows about what Jason is, a coworker of Dan’s who’s about halfway between them in age. He doesn’t mind getting eaten either

—

Tom and Reggie

These two live in a mixed-height society, where humans and minis have equal rights, and while sizeism exists, it’s considered a flavor of racism. Tom is human, and Reggie is a mini, who’s six inches tall. They’re housemates. (also. Tom is nonbinary, and uses they/them pronouns. Reggie’s a guy, he/him.)

Still trying to figure out how their current arrangement got started, considering Reggie is embarrassed to admit he likes it, but the two of them frequently engage in what they call “Games” (yes, with a capital G), which always involve Reggie being inside Tom’s mouth (not all the way, the scale difference isn’t enough for that, but it varies from a finger or two all the way to as much as they can fit at once), and often involve him getting covered with something tasty first. In addition to those, they sometimes do smaller-scale things with maybe a lick or two.

No swallowing, because it wouldn’t be safe in their world, but loads of mouthplay.

They’ve definitely taken the time to sit down together and talk about what they are and aren’t okay with, and they have a safeword in case either gets uncomfortable in the middle of things.  And they make sure to communicate with each other the whole time, when they’re in the middle of it.

Tom’s usually the one to initiate things, and they always check first to make sure that Reggie’s okay with it. Sometimes it’s just something as simple as “May I lick you?” and sometimes it’s laying out the plans for a Game. They usually don’t go into detail, because Reggie likes to be a bit surprised, but Tom might say, “You in the mood for a Game? I had an idea,” and if Reggie was, they might tell him a few of the aspects. (powerplay, foodplay, how much mouthplay it would involve, maybe the kind of food, those such things.) And then they would get into it! Or not, if Reggie didn’t want to do that particular Game after all.

I’m currently working on a story titled ‘Chocolate’, in which there is a fondue pot. And Reggie definitely gets dunked.

He’s also been covered in frosting, been tied up with spaghetti (and accidentally broke several noodles before Tom could bite them off, cooked spaghetti does not make a strong rope), sat in Tom’s ice-cream on a hot summer day, and lounged in more of Tom’s drinks, both hot and cold, than they’ve bothered to count.

Reggie’s sister is aware of their arrangement, which embarrasses Reggie so much, but she doesn’t care what they get up to so long as it’s consensual.

Oh! And I have some art of them! I apparently only have one posted to this blog so far… I’ll have to get on that, cause there are two more. [link]

Aji and Mitz

I created Aji for a fanfic of @vore-scientist‘s Mystic Woods stories! (In Which a Giant Wizard Noms a Firewitch) They’re basically a self-insert. Short redheaded li’l nonbinary firewitch. (the firewitch part is not so much a self-insert. That was something Tuitey suggested, to make Aji fit in to that world.)

Mitz is Aji’s giant friend. The two of them have done many noms before, and Aji’s even been swallowed! Only briefly, though, because they don’t want to risk staying in a real stomach for very long. Since Aji is a firewitch, they’re pretty spicy. 

I honestly haven’t developed a lot about these two yet…

Tho!

Aji has a familiar. Her name is Soot, she’s a cat, and she was the one who decided she was gonna be Aji’s familiar, back when she was a kitten. Aji wasn’t even looking for a familiar at the time, but Soot took one look at young Aji and decided, That human is mine. I’m keeping them. So she went right ahead and formed the familiar-witch bond, and next thing Aji knew, this little black ball of fluff was talking to them, and yes it was meows, but it also sounded like words.

Soot’s mom was not so pleased that her kitten had gone and gotten bonded to a witch. Especially a firewitch. Soot’s dad was proud of her, though. (I think he was one of those rough-and-tumble stray cat types, while Soot’s mom was a pampered housecat. Very different backgrounds.) Soot’s mom eventually accepted Aji as her kitten’s witch, though.

Also, Soot is trans. And she thinks that spit is gross and Aji is weird for being okay with being in a mouth.

Candy

Alright, so ‘Candy’ was originally not going to be her name, but I’m seriously tempted to name her Candace and have her curse to have been inspired by her name.

Cause Candy was cursed! There was this wizard who was trying to woo a woman who was gay and far more interested in Candy, got pissy that she didn’t like him back, decided that Candy had stolen the affection that was “rightly his,” and cursed her. 

So now Candy is only about an inch tall, immortal, and made of candy. The type of candy she’s made of changes sometimes. (still working on the mechanic of how/why.) She prefers some to others, and hates being gum.

She’s changed hands several times over the years, and is currently in the possession of a college student. She spends a lot of time being oral stimulation for late night studies, but at least the student treats her fairly well. They usually ask permission first, and by this point, Candy’s gotten pretty used to being in a mouth, so she lets them do it as long as they don’t bite down. (It doesn’t hurt, but it’s not a pleasant sensation.)

She’s been swallowed more than once, and she doesn’t like that. It’s groossss.

Mike

This one isn’t technically actual vore, but it’s vorish, so I’m including it.

Mike lives in a mixed height world. Maybe it’s the same as Tom and Reggie’s, as the main scale is 1:12, the same as theirs, but maybe it’s not, because there are also smaller tinies, who mostly live off on their own away from the other two sizes.

Mike is one of the smaller tinies. He’s about two inches tall. And he has a mech! It’s a very good mech, and looks like a human. The entire inside of the head is on stabilizers so that no matter which way the mech is oriented, that room is always right-side up. And in the middle of the skull-room, there’s another room, where Mike goes to control the mech. He has to put on a special motion-sensing suit, and the room is filled with a special material that mimics the outside environment. It’s all very complicated and sciencey, and I don’t know where he got it.

Some of Mike’s friends are humans, and some of them are tinies. Regular tinies, not extra-small ones like Mike.

(A scene:

Tiny Friend: Why do you spend all your time inside that mech?

Mike: I’m not about to be out in the open with a bunch of giants!

Tiny Friend: Why not? I do it every day.

Mike: … I don’t think you understand. You’re one of the giants.

)

Now the vorish part! 

In order to make the mech look realistic, there aren’t seams for it to open. Instead, you gotta climb in through the mouth. Mike’s small enough that he can have the mech lying down and just walk through the throat like a hallway, but a regular tiny has to crawl. Or, if the throat is vertical, there’s a ladder built into the side. (though to get past the part at the back of the mouth is very awkward for a regular tiny, because there’s a wall (again, for realistic looking reasons) in front of the ladder there, and Mike can easily climb through that space, but it’s too small for a regular tiny to fit into)

Sometimes, Mike’s friends get overwhelmed from too much stimulus, and they need somewhere quiet to relax again. If the overwhelmed friend is a tiny, and there isn’t somewhere else available (or sometimes if there is), Mike will let them chill inside his mech with him, either in the torso area (which is a storeroom) or in his room in the head. (They’re allowed to sit on his bed, but because they’re three times his size, they can’t fit to lie down.) Which, of course, looks like he’s swallowing them.

Halloween, 16. Vampire

You never knew about vampires. Not until you met one and fed one!

”So…” You wondered out loud as you eyed the mech sitting beside your berth. The reason you weren’t in his habsuite was because his roommate and you friend was there. ”You’re actually some kind of an ancient outlier that has enchanted speed, power, senses and things like that…?”

He nodded, his red gleaming optics never leaving opposite wall. You continued. ”But to keep up with your abilities and wellbeing you must consume already once consumed energon?”

He nodded again.

”From the cables?” You inquired and he finally grunted. ”That’s what I told you. Are you going to help me or not?”

”I don’t know…” You mumbled as you kicked your legs up and down before looking at him again. ”Why don’t you ask Tailgate? He would probably be happy to help you!”

Cyclonus grunted and turned to glare you with his gleaming red optics. ”If Tailgate knew what my abilities needed to be held up like my health then he would no doubt freak out. You on the other hand have always been rivalling Riptide in your stupidity.”

”Ouch. Riptide is cool.”

”I don’t need to know that.”

”Anyway, how on Cybertron am I stupid? I’m a fragging navigator on this ship!” You asked and Cyclonus rolled his optics. ”You’re assistant and by stupid I mean your lack of fear towards anything. Even in battle you rush towards the enemy.”

”Well yeah, gotta be quicker than them and take them out fast before they take out us. Attack is the ultimate defence!” You cheered, fist pumping the air and the purple mech beside you groaned. ”You just further prove my point.”

”Anyway.” You decided to change the subject back to him. ”Who has been donating you energon until now?”

”Ratchet. He knew about my situation, but once he left I lost the source of my energon, I have been struggling with energon bags he drew for me, but my stash run out sooner than I would have preferred.” Cyclonus replied and you took a notice that he was starting to breath a little heavily, his cooling fans slowly starting up.

”Is everything alright? You don’t look so good?” You asked and the former Decepticon grunted again, his breath starting to come as hot puffs of air as he tried to cool down his slowly overheating body.

”No…! I’m at my limits…!” He turned to you and you almost flinched how usually so stoic and cool Cyclonus was looking like a shipwreck. His optics were hazy, not glinting as usual and his mouth was slightly apart. ”I need your decision now. Will you let me feed off of you?”

”Sure.” You blurted out. You blinked. Any normal mech or femme would have probably pondered the thing a little bit further, think about health issues it could have caused and the pain. Any wiser mech would have said no and left, but you weren’t smart to begin with. He said it himself.

Without further thinking about it you stuck your arm out to Cyclonus and the mech cradled your arm with his hands. You watched as he crouched over your arm, raised it to his mouth and… Nibbled on your plating?

You snorted, the feeling of his sharp dentae tickling your armour plating as he just nibbled you instead of biting in like you thought he would. ”Umm… Cy…!? Are you actually going to bite me? You’re tickling me…!”

”Patience…! It feels already good to ease the itch on my dentae.” He chided at you and you brought your free hand over your mouth to hold in the giggles that almost bursted out of your mouth. It went on about a minute, Cy tickling you with his tiny nibbles, until he started to move closer and closer to your hand until his hot breath ghosted over the cables on your wrist.

”Now?” You asked and Cyclonus nodded. ”Just relax and it will be over soon.”

You hummed and looked away, not really ready to see your friend stick his razor sharp dentae into your sensitive cables. You took a deep breath and you felt him grace his pointed dentae against the cables.

”Are you going to bite me now?” You asked, still looking away and to your surprise his only answer was a loud slurp. Confused, you turned to look at him and you saw him fully slurping energon from your line, his dentae already in your lines and a little trickle of energon trickled down your hand and dropped on the ground.

”Wow, that didn’t hurt at all.” You say as you watch Cyclonus feed off on you. He hummed and you felt vibrations against your wrist. While Cyclonus fed off from you, you checked your fuel levels, noticing them steadily going down. You would need a cube of energon after this to replace the ones you were loosing at the moment.

There was a loud slurp as the purple mech pulled away from your wrist and licked off all the excess energon. You blinked at him as you watched him pamper your bitten wrist and he finally let you pull your wrist back.

”I better put a bandage on it so I don’t bleed all over my berth.” You laughed, pushing yourself up on your feet and walking to your desk, ready to dig out a packet of bandages you bought from alien market when Cyclonus stopped you.

”No need.” He grunted as he wiped his wet mouth with his arm and you glanced at the bite mark, surprised to see it completely gone!

”Wow. Wound healing saliva.” You awed as you looked at your wrist where the puncture wounds were. It was like Cy had never bitten you! You turned and grinned at him, finding him already up on his feet. ”Perceptor and Brainstorm would kill for a sample like this.”

”Don’t tell them. Last thing I need is to be locked in their lab.” Cyclonus grumbled as he picked up his great sword and turned towards your door to leave. You quickly run after him, colliding with his back. ”Wait!”

The former Decepticon glanced you over his shoulder, not bothering to turn around to speak with you. ”What is it?”

”When do you need to eat again?” You asked and Cyclonus’ optics widened. It was like he wasn’t expecting you to ask him to come back anymore. ”Excuse me?”

”You need to eat right? And you don’t have a donor so I thought I could do it. All I ask is just some energon in return.” You replied smiling and Cyclouns grumbling looked away. ”After 3 days… Then I shall return.”

”Jeeze, don’t speak like we won’t see until then!” You laughed and patted him on the back, minding his sword and he just took your affection much like he took on Tailgate’s kindness. Not knowing how to act on it. You laughed a little bit more and walked up to him to smile for him. ”Cy, we’re friends! If I would ask you to chop of my arm you would do that, no questions asked!”

”No I wouldn’t.”

”With a good reason you would.” You grinned and turned to leave with him and you both excited your habsuite and moved to go to different ways. You would go and get a cube of energon to replace the lost one and Cyclonus would probably go to Swerve’s or meet Tailgate. Just as you were about to walk away, Cy called after you. ”Wait!”

You stopped on your tracks and glanced at him over your shoulder, confinement evident on your face. ”What is it Cy?”

He looked away from you. ”Thank you.”

You smiled and waved at him. ”Nah, you’re welcome.” And Cyclonus shook his helm. ”No. Really. Thank you. You may be stupid, but you’re a good friend.” With that said he left and you watched after him with a smile.

”That guy is a big softie!” You laughed and went to get food.
