Fragments - episodes 65-70 author notes
You can find similar breakdown posts on older episodes in my pinned!
These two are so entrenched in the yapping sesh that, when Thancred interrupts it, they only spare him this quiet glance before going back to their bs. Sorry, Thancred, you’re so irrelevant in their microcosm. They’re even physically separate, standing far away from the Scions.
Makes an argument against being petty, proceeds to be petty when Emet touches a nerve.
Episodes 64-65 are the long-awaited return of the ratman who’s previously appeared only in episodes 44-45. He thinks some thoughts and makes meaningful faces here, but I decided not to show his thought bubbles yet, inviting the reader to guess and speculate. This tactic mirrors the way Emet intrigues the player ingame, but offers very little dialogue, very little tangible stuff to sink your teeth into. I’m learning the storytelling tricks from the best :> Obviously this comic’s about him as much as it’s about Raha and Vivi, he WILL get more screentime and you’ll see plenty of his thoughts later on, I just wanna build up the reader’s interest.

I’m planning to have Emet call Vivi a few specific words throughout the story, and I’ll try to be poetic with it. Annoying is the first word x’D Thancred seems to... Agree? At least he finds this amusing. Him and Alisaie actually laugh at Emet’s jokes.
Emet starts to take up more visual space in the frame, pushing Vivi out, showing the shift in control. Boy does Vivi hate losing control. It must be his, always, at all costs.
Since the ARR episodes there's a recurring visual theme of reaching your hand out or failing to do so, Emet reaches casually, with no hesitation.
This gesture was probably meant to be the Evil Chin Grab as Emet doesn’t even wrestle control from Vivi, he effortlessly takes what’s his, cements his superiority in this strange mix of an unarmed conflict, petty rhetoric and silly dance, but Vivi refuses to play the part of a trembling victim. No touchy.
“Why are your eyes like this?” and the certified haver of lively expressions goes poker face. Still he can't control his pupils narrowing in displeasure, fear, or some other sort of a negative emotion. His comebacks lose quality and morph into lowly insults, you've gotta be wondering WHY he's lost composure. The record amount of angry/loud speech bubbles also indicates that something went awry, normally he doesn’t raise his voice too much.
To us, with the foreknowledge that the ancients had colorful, vibrant eyes, the answer’s clear, and so it is to Emet, but Vivi has no such knowledge, and can only assume things that make sense to him at the moment. He concludes that Emet merely insults his appearance (and he’s quick to conclude this, he even uses the word “wrong” before Emet does, maybe the pale color of his eyes is a personal insecurity), proving to Emet that he doesn’t remember anything about his past lives. Another disappointment.
Even more disappointment follows as Vivi rags on Emet’s garlean appearance, his slightly racist missiles ricocheting at the nearby Thancred and Ryne lmao. TO BE COMPLETELY FAIR, in episode 45 Emet calls Vivi’s ears antennae.
Vivi gets mad at ascian, 26 dead, 135 injured, excluding the ascian. Vivi doesn't know what kinda shit to throw at Emet in order to hit where it hurts, while Emet has a rough idea how to get under Vivi’s skin. It’s the same stuff every incarnation, the sundered are mind-numbingly easy to predict. Emet gathers enough info from this encounter and retreats before Vivi does something even more stupid.
More under the cut~
You may have noticed that Vivi earned less style points in this banter than, let's say, in banter with Alisaie or Ardbert. He does feel uneasy and out of his depth. This encounter's supposed to invoke the feeling of disconnect, like something went slightly off kilter. And, lo and behold, keikaku doori, this’s precisely the impression Emet wants to make on Vivi. Make him wonder what's wrong. Make him hear, feel, think, or something.
When Vivi finally meets Y’shtola, he wants her expert opinion on the freshly developed spell of his. Thancred’s just sorta hanging around and flinging a casually mean comment at Vivi, but you’ve gotta interrogate it from this angle: why does he feel like being casually mean? Maybe there’s pent-up disappointment and frustration. Vivi doesn’t seem to take this too seriously, just waves him off.
But also. That line. “It doesn’t seem to do anything other than look pretty”. We know that Y’shtola’s the truther, albeit a harsh one, and she’s damn right here as well :’> Vivi shows no interest in taking initiative and leading everyone. Why’s he like this, the bearer of the most important title in the world. Why can’t he be more... Useful. Perhaps Y’shtola also wishes that their hero was more heroic, and vents that frustration in ways typical to her.
Just go back to episodes 37-38, how big and important that feels, how profound it’s for Vivi and Titania, and then someone who wasn't even there calls it A PARTY TRICK, and delivers it with this face:
Not counting Y’shtola’s solo “interview” in episode 12, this’s the first interaction we see of these two, and neither seems to enjoy it. I’ve gotta be upfront about my plans and the amount of screentime given to characters: there’s very little for Y’shtola, I’m just trying to mention that her and Vivi don’t mesh well at all, and move on.
I wrote another deep dive on this starry spell and what it meant to Vivi and Titania and why it worked when it technically shouldn’t have. It’s a good post I prommy, go read it.
He probably had this reaction locked and loaded. Or he has a particularly short fuse when it comes to dealing with certain Scions.
Someone on patreon whipped out an incredible analysis of this encounter. I can’t believe how blessed I am to have readers like this.

The adult Scions (Y’shtola, Urianger, Thancred) are displaying this tired toleration towards Vivi, once again hinting at the events of ARR-SB that I prefer to omit for the time being. They’re really just stuck together, trying their best to keep this garbage fire from completely blowing the place up.
Remember how I spoke about withholding Emet’s inner pov and thought bubbles until a later time? I did the same with Vivi at first, but by now we get more and more exposure to his inner workings. This’s deliberate. Several years ago, when I was just drafting the comic and the transition between ARR and ShB, I’d planned to dump a lot of Vivi’s angsty thoughts in order to quickly explain the state of affairs in ShB. It was gonna be his pov recap of the canon events that we skip in the comic (ARR-SB). Then I realized that it might be boring. I think you need to want to learn about the character. If you’re given answers before you have questions, that’s lecture, not entertainment. So I opted to give the reader relatively little info to work with, to drip feed it in order to create a better pace and a more natural understanding of Vivi’s character. I took my sweet time with this approach, but finally the reader’s primed for a closer look. The romance’s about to start romancing in earnest, it’s time. Back to the current moment, though, the events that are about to unfold are canon-divergent, the reader’s pov’s glued to Vivi’s as both are on the equal ground information-wise, no one knows what’s going on.
The Night’s Blessed are a famously silent people. What could possibly make them scream out in the open like this?
Tiny thing that tells us about Vivi as a hero: he overhears this convo, but doesn’t volunteer to go back and look for the missing husband, he’s more concerned with getting himself to safety under the shield.
Canon’s more gentle about it, wol overhears Y’shtola and Urianger talking about the Light corruption, but here our twink gets gratuitiously obliterated. I lovingly titled this episode “in which Vivi gets hit by a realization”, I mean, if we can turn his reality check into something physical and dramatic, why not. There had to be a sharp change in his perception of the First and his new role, as we’re building up to wolemet.

Crystarium: Exarch’s friend? welcome! Il Mheg: one of us!!! Rak’tika: not one of us...
The way Vivi currently feels about Rak’tika reflects his “warm friendship” with Y’shtola, he doesn’t have a good time anymore, it’s been left behind in Crystarium and Il Mheg and before Emet showed his ugly face. The colors and general tone have also shifted. Vivi’s initial impression of Norvrandt was rather pleasant and hopeful for his own, personal reasons.
What do we usually associate with rain? Calm, comfort, cleansing, nourishment, renewal. Following the overarching ShB theme of flipping things upside down, I’m introducing you to the concept of the light rain, literal death pouring from the blazing heavens. I was just wondering about the lack of weather until you progress the msq, does it mean that in-universe the weather’s always the same for an entire century? Or should we ignore it and assume that the weather and seasons still change? I chose the middle ground: the elements move slower since they’re overaspected with light, you never quite see the violent storms, hot summers or cold winters anymore, but the weather still changes, lowkey, sluggish, as if reluctant to happen. And on a particularly unfortunate day, as Thancred put it, man’s worst fears are made manifest. The water in the sky absorbs too much light. And, of course, with the wol-typical talent for being in all the wrong places at all the wrong times, Vivi gets to enjoy the worst possible weather condition right as he sets foot in Rak’tika.
Speaking of flipping things upside down, I’m pretty damn happy with these visuals as Vivi stays on the ground and indifferently looks up at the scared npcs that surround him. The status quo isn’t the same anymore. Things have changed. You don’t know shit actually. Wake up. LA HEE (sorry)
This also tells something about him. He doesn't swat the hand away or ignore it. He accepts it, whether because he likes and trusts Thancred, or something else, remains to be seen. He pities himself, he wants compassion and pity, and he gets at least one of those. If Y'shtola started some crazy shit (citation needed; at the moment Vivi thinks that she didn’t let him inside the shield because she hates him) and Thancred offered help, Vivi might as well make him work to undo the mess. “I'm the poorest, saddest guy in the world, took you long enough to notice and do something about it”. Maybe I’m too mean to my own guy, of course he just got hit by an equivalent of a moving truck, so even if he CAN walk, he deserves to get that piggyback ride.
Thancred literally holds him as he winds up to deliver the terrible news. He’s being very gentle and patient. This could be delivered with cold, professional indifference, but Thancred tiptoes around it and makes sure to leave room for doubt and, of course, hope. If only he was so gentle with Ryne and himself.
He’s lowkey the logistics guy in Vivi's life. He makes sure that Vivi doesn't completely fall apart and gets to the next quest marker, even if that requires physically dragging or carrying him. Happened at least twice on-screen already, Il Mheg and now here.
A lowkey acknowledgment that Vivi may have been delusional about this new world, that he doesn’t know much about it, yet decided to stay here when Feo Ul asked him if he wanted to.
The tree visually separates Vivi and Y’shtola. He took his sweet time between Il Mheg and Rak’tika, just arrived here, but he’d rather be anywhere else. Nothing about this feels right or comfortable. Now that the troubling, mildly put, news dropped on everyone’s head, things are ought to get even more fun. As I’ve already mentioned, this’s buildup for wolemet. Panic, uncertainty, despair, this isn't gonna fucking work, what do we do, do we still trust Exarch, no one trusts anyone, perfect chaos for Emet to enter the stage in earnest.
And so he enters the stage, but in a different place since he isn’t fond of getting dispersed by the concentrated Light that currently pours down on Rak’tika. Time to annoy the other guy.
LOOK AT HOW POLITE HE’S BEING. But also like, unhurried and neutral, taking in the atmosphere, gauging Exarch’s mood.
He’s being overdramatic just for the hell of it, mischaracterizing Exarch, or, perhaps, gaslighting him into having missed the ascian. Right? Unless...
Episode 69 has limited camera movement/angles not only to make it possible for me to draw such a massive episode in 2 weeks, but also to invoke the feeling of stillness. This convo happens in the middle of a who-knows-how-many-years-long stalemate.
Trying to recreate the nostalgic, long-lost pattern of refusing something and getting lovingly convinced, ASKED to do it, but Exarch doesn't play into it.
“Why don’t you just do it the way I need. WHY DON’T YOU JUST ASK ME ONE MORE TIME. I’LL ACCEPT. JUST. ASK AGAIN. TCH!!!!!”
Their backstory in a nutshell: Emet randomly appears, devours all the sweets and snacks, calls Exarch a bitch, disappears for an unknown number of years again. It just so happens to resemble Azem's behavior back in the day, minus calling Emet a bitch maybe.
It makes no sense to me that Emet and Exarch had never met pre canon. Emet visited the First AT LEAST ~20 years ago during the Vauthry stuff, how would he miss/ignore the existence of THE Crystal Tower, HIS tower, and a massive city around it as well. So I gave these two a backstory. It’ll trickle in during 5.0, and after, when Emet’s gone, when Vivi and Exarch reminisce about him. They never shut up about him actually.
Episodes 69-70 stand out in many ways, it was a fun exercise to condense as much info and food for thought as possible while retaining the natural flow. Yes I told something about Emet and Exarch in the present by telling about the past azemet. Emet sees himself in this grumpy Exarch, and decides to be nicer to him. This’s the closest it ever gets to therapy for him.
Bearing in mind the foreknowledge that this’s a (somewhat closed) love triangle, that Emet gets to fuck Vivi first, and practically in front of Exarch, I think it'd hurt much more if Emet and Exarch's relationship was more than just enemies. Warmer, weirder. Not quite lovers, but- It's easier to recover from an enemy's betrayal. Let’s not make anything easy for them.
The colors in these episodes make the Ocular look like the temperature there is below zero. Exarch’s being moody. Emet never gets greeted with warmth anymore. His memory is perhaps the only warm place left in all of existence.
Did you notice that Hyth's smile drops? The smiler and bullshitter acts serious. He tries to protect Emet from Azem, to fix this relationship, or at least keep it from completely falling apart and destroying them all (sit tight, you’ll learn about it eventually) but he's not enough, he's never enough. I only hope that the visuals manage to convey it, but Hyth physically stands between the careless Azem and the distressed Emet in the other room. A gentle shadow trapped between two lights. And Emet’s trapped in the window and in the sunlight. He could walk away at any moment, from the light, from this relationship, or ask Azem to leave since he’s the one causing problems, but it’s Emet we’re talking about. Physically incapable of letting go. And... How many other people does he actually have that care about him, even if this care comes with a fine print?
Even this short convo should give you an idea of what kinda person Azem was. So immersed in his own life and job that he's blind to how much damage it does to his closest people. A guy so self-sufficient and independent that you wanna ask him "why are you even in a relationship". And one can’t really be mad at him, this’s just the way he is, a sun shining equally for everyone on this star. He laughs at Hyth’s genuine disappointment like “you know me and how I am, what else did you expect”.
Back in the present, the way Exarch “greets” him by remaining cold and silent makes Emet feel bad for his overlong absence, or, more likely, feel bad for his past self that was hurt by Azem in a similar situation. Projection or not, by being nicer with Exarch he tries to tend to his own old wounds.
This’s the kindness, the free info that Emet decides to give away in order to make it up to Exarch. “Will you keep the same composure when your hero grows a pair of blinding white wings? Or a dozen...” shows that currently he’s indifferent to Vivi's potential fate. “Yes, yes, of course he will...” mocks Exarch's blind faith. Just keep this in mind for when the thick plottens.
Exarch doesn’t need to explain anything to Emet. The act of taking off the hood means that his mood softened. He shows his face (remember what such thing means to the ancients) with zero fanfare, it doesn’t come off as novel or surprising to either party, indicating that this has already happened in the past. My reasoning’s quite simple, it comes from closely scrutinizing the canon.
“But it plainly concerns you. Which is why your heart is ready to burst out of your chest. Despite the raging tempest in your bosom, however, you have never once opened up to your young charge. Now why would that be? Love...?”
Aethersight, soulsight, Emet has every flavor, it seems. It only makes sense since he’s such a talented mage and a literal god of death. To perceive the dead you’ve also gotta be good at perceiving the living. So, this god of death comes to the First, finds the Crystal fucking Tower where it clearly isn’t supposed to be, goes on to investigate, meets the strange miqo’te that for some reason wears a hood and acts like he’s mystery personified, and he doesn’t beat around the bush, he helpfully points out that he can see his catboyism, if that’s the concern. But, since he’s so nice and polite (don’t underestimate your enemy, conquer him through kindness, that’ll get you much further than cruelty) he doesn’t spill Exarch’s secret to anyone. Yet, maybe? That’s an ace he tucks in his sleeve. Just between us, he never ends up using it, the emotional advantage this card gives him over Exarch is already enough while the card remains unused. I’ll show this in the comic a bit later.
Seeing the cat ears, however, doesn’t give Emet much to work with. I might be wrong here, but during the events of ARR Crystal Tower he was too busy dying from depression in the old Solus’s body (while ViviRaha frolicked around, smooched and blew things up in Mor Dhona), he could’ve as well stayed oblivious to what happened and who went to sleep in the Tower. I don’t know if this’s confirmed in canon, but even if not, this’s Fragments canon. So Exarch doesn’t tell him his real name, and Emet simply doesn’t know G’raha Tia.
But oh, isn’t it nice to be seen properly, even by Emet-Selch. This face says “I missed you”, or at least “I’m glad to have someone with whom I can afford to drop my customer service sona and be a little bitch for a moment”.
It felt amazing to draw this panel knowing that it'll haunt people.
This kupo bit, the chuckle, the tiny moment of emotional relief for Exarch is still fully controlled by Emet. Emet chooses to share, to give him this laugh. And notice the tiny tilt of Emet’s head upwards in the third panel, I wanted to make it look like he sighs in exasperation at this hero.
Episodes 69-70 have been received so well, that Emet and Exarch are old good enemies is probably the biggest twist so far. I only started writing their relationship sometime in 2024 after getting obsessed with Emet and deciding that Fragments must have some wolemet as well. I had to choose the flavor of a love triangle, and I went for the one that’s not quite fully closed, these old men never kiss or anything, but the weirdness makes up for it. They don’t need sex, they’ve got something much more cosmic going on. I’d like to be transparent so that no one acts like they’ve been baited by the promise of exselch, of course people are free to ship them, but as far as the Fragments canon goes, this ship never sails, this’s just a lifebuoy tossed at Exarch that he opts to ignore.
This’s all I’ve got for now, thanks for reading till the end! If you’ve got more thoughts or observations, feel free to share, I’m always excited to chat about anything related to these guys.

Given my relative advanced age compared to the Tumblr user base, I am often wont to offer career advice on crap that I have learned the hard way in hopes that maybe one person won’t have to learn that the hard way themselves.
As I’ve mentioned a few times, I recently left the nonprofit organization that I had been on staff with for 15 years. (Today, I will spare you the whole story about how my period of unemployment was a direct outgrowth of project 2025.)
My big piece of advice in having gone through this is:
NEVER LET YOURSELF BECOME “THE EVERYTHING PERSON” ON A TEAM
What do I mean by The Everything Person? I mean the person who knows everything, of course. The person who takes on everything.The one that everybody else goes to for help and support. The long tenured, self appointed or group default work expert genius nerd try hard, who has gone so deep in the organization or work that they lose themselves and others cannot move forward w: their work without them involved somehow.
I love that most people younger than me don’t stay in work environments that don’t serve them… Or at least that’s what the data shows. I have never been like that. I have had to try to overcome so much deep programming about how my ability to produce at work and be “perfect“ was my worth.
I’ve been a lifelong try hard, a bit of a teacher’s pet type, a hand raiser, an overachiever, sick on producing disease, an enneagram type one (for those who are familiar.) My particular child abuse history and baggage made me act as if I had to constantly try to prove myself like this. A deep sense of insecurity was underlying it the whole time. I took every opportunity to move “upward“ that I could. I needed the A. To “advance” in my career at the sacrifice of myself.
Across those 15 years, of course I became The Everything Person. Especially because my team was usually fairly small and so there weren’t things like a defined HR department to go to, etc. Any question or need for historical knowledge or staff coaching fell my way. Over and over and over again.
I once had some coworkers kind of politely confront me about it and explain that when I unnecessarily raise the bar, it doesn’t help anyone. What they didn’t help me get is that the number one person who would suffer MOST from this mentality and role that I had chosen to play was me. The systems rewarded my self sacrifice in titles and such while it was quietly killing me.
I know this with extreme clarity of understanding now because I have started a new job where I am the new kid on the block and the amount of weight of expectation and pressure that is off of me is so enormous that it feels life-changing. And I didn’t understand that the weight of being The Everything Person was at the core of why I was so burned out and got painfully resentful.
I did this to myself… I understand that now. But the system is also did it to me as well and encouraged me to sacrifice myself in ways that I didn’t even know I was doing.
Never ever ever ever ever become The Everything Person. I’m not saying don’t have pride in your work. I’m not saying don’t still give a good effort if that feels great for you. But I am saying never ever ever ever the yourself become The Everything Person.
It’s not an award. It’s a curse.

Hi hellooo, here is hecate, once again in your inbox ready to spread the xiao brainrot hehehehe.
I looved your ask, and ACTUALLY with all the yapping that ensued I kind of came up with an idea for a fic that I wanted to share with you cause I only thought about it thanks to your ask.
SO *rubs hands like a fucking fly planning to take over the world* you know how xiao promised to come every time we call his name? BUT ALSO he is constrained to liyue, so would he be able to answer the call if we happened to call him from another nation?
What my brain concocted, is a scenario where reader accompanies the Traveller (maybe lumine? Im very biased towards lumine ngl) in her travels, in particular, to Natlan. During the war they get separated from lumine, they try to help out since they happen to have healing abilities and medical knowledge; many lives are saved, but they end up gravely injured/extremely exhausted. They get brought to safety and get their injuries treated, and as they're like kind of delirious and out of it, they see kinich tending to them and just go like "xiao? Is that you??" Cause they're a simp like that, I'm a simp like that, everyone is a simp like that lol. I would argue that xiao doesn't appear for two reasons: I think he appears when his name gets called only if you intend to call him (though this is a little hc of mine), and idk if he could hear you in a whole another nation and tbh I don't really want to explore that rn, so I'm going with the first reason lmao.
Then when reader and lumine go back to Liyue for lantern rite, Lumine tattles on reader and tells xiao who is both very concerned about reader's wellbeing, flustered that he was the person they were thinking of even in a moment like that, and sliiightly jealous of this kinich dude lmao. Cue very soft and gentle xiao moments cause I'm very much a sucker for that. Hehehehe.
This isn't really a request, I mean, if you feel inspired by this or anything, by all means do whatever you wish with this, I'd love that. But I know you already have your hands full with other requests and stuff, and I really don't want to be adding things to your plate. If you wanna yap with me about this idea and how it could evolve, what could happen, please do^^.
Anyways, I hope you're having a great day/night, please remember to take care of yourself!
-Hecate
hecate i hate you sm. this is so good?? i'll definitely revisit natlan aq in game archives for specifics, i really really wanna write this omg.
Oh same! I used to have an aether acc but ended up deleting it around Inazuma, and my current acc has Lumi beloved. God i love her.
You're probably right! I'm unsure about the LIyue constraint (and who cares, it's a fanfic anyway sjsjsj) but you're right about Xiao only being summoned when his name is called with the intention to do so- or he'd show up a lot more sjsjsj
LUMINE MY MOST BELOVED SNITCH OMG. Imagine Kinich and Ajaw also show up for lantern rite and Reader shows them around. Imagine Ajaw shitting on Kinich nonstop and Kinich boredly combating him with a verbal dexterity Xiao never really learned- and Reader laughing in the most enchanting way as they watch the two squabble. And then hearing that Reader did technically call out to 'him' in a moment of distress, but he didn't show and this Kinich guy did. And. Then also simultaneously being flustered and confused because in a moment of vulnerability, they thought of him? BUT also- this Kinich person does look quite similar, so perhaps that was the only reason
He'd feel so bad for not talking to KInich much, or being closed off. Kinich, who understood mortal customs so much better- a warrior that has taken part in the night warden wars, who is honestly quite good looking, accompanied by... Uhh i don't think Xiao would know much about Natlan dragon administration sksksksk
Maybe Reader gets Kinich a present for saving them back then because they know about his fixation on equivalent exchange and he's like girl (gender neutral). We were fighting a war, don't be stupid and gifts them something thoughtful back in return. uGH Hecate
And once that's done Reader finally turns to Xiao and he's even quieter than usual?? KUDFIAUCFYOEGUC BELOVED PLEASE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN OUR HEARTS TT
#hecate no one plays with my brain worms the way you do#pied piper behaviour and im your devoted rat#i swear#i really really wanna write this#I CANT PROMISE I WILL BC IM BAD AT THAT but#but i really might#akeuftafejgulifeu#ask and you shall receive#(eventually)#xiao x reader

Some doodles for my au! Will be rambling a bit about its general premise down below. This mainly goes off on spoilers for ending 001, and is drawing ideas from other routes as well. This au is very much still a work of progress and I have not gotten all of the endings in the game yet so no spoilers please !!!!!
Spoilers for Second scenario (ending 001) below as well as other routes which will be listed below the cut
Routes i'm drawing ideas from (will likely expand the more i play): Conspiracy, Box of Calamity, Slasher, rebellion, and serial battles (kind of)
The general premise is: As he's dying in nozomi's arms, takumi makes the decision to go back and do everything all over again one last time. So he uses his special redo to go back as far as his hemoanima will let him. However! This does not result in him returning to day 2, because takumi's hemoanima is even stronger than it was at the end of route 0. He accidentally overshot day 2 by a LOT. Now he finds himself materializing outside of the pod that his past self is currently dwelling within. He is at kamukura general hospital (which is on the artificial satellite!), roughly six years into the past.
Takumi has no means of jumping forwards into the future, so he has to make do with what he has in this situation. Which isn't much, for now. But he resolves to do things better this time. He has 6 years worth of time to prepare and end this war without losing anyone in the SDU and without killing anyone either. This is by NO MEANS an easy thing to get the ball rolling on either! Takumi has to deal with the scientsts that created him and the SDU, the higher ups of humanity that wish to wipeout all of the futurans, as well as SIREI who is still overseeing Shion's care. But thankfully his knowledge of the truth and his existence as a temporal anomaly gives takumi an advantage.
I'd be here all day if I went into ALL the details here but. TLDR for the rest of the set up here: Takumi finds out about the anti exodus faction and how they're the ones behind giving eito his cognitive disorder. He hunts them all down to try and get answers on how to help eito, but... there is no "cure" that was ever created for eito's condition.
Takumi eventually comes to the conclusion that the only way to really help eito in this timeline is to remove him from the pod now, while he's still young (around 12 years old here). And to give eito the proper support and care he desperately needed but was never given in prior timelines. Someone has to help eito learn how to live with his cognitive disorder in a way thats healthy but also accommodating to him. Thus, Takumi becomes his "guardian" and caretaker of sorts.
But to prevent any further unnecessary serious deviations from the timeline, and to make it easier for eito to be around him. Takumi has the scientists create him a helmet thay he can wear that hides his face and distorts his voice enough to make it more bearable for eito. He also casts aside the identity of takumi sumino, as that name belongs to the little boy (who belongs to this time period) currently still sleeping away inside of his respective pod. Thus, eito only knows this guardian figure as "Nii-san" and nothing more.
That, is the set up for too far back au.
The eito and nozomi childhood friends stuff is the result of takumi's actions in encouraging nozomi's mother to stop using nozomi for the cryptoglobin experiments, he offers to watch after nozomi while shes busy at work. Thus nozomi spends a lot of time staying over at takumi's place and hanging out with the odd duo.
Eito wasn't initially all that happy about nozomi being around all the time. But after discovering how much the two share in interests, they end up slowly growing close as friends.
Also i like to imagine that as a result of eito getting taken out of the pod six years early, his growth ends up being noticeably stunted as a result.

shadow milk cookie, as the fount of knowledge, is a switch with a slight lean towards dominance — though he’s happy to be whatever you want from him if only you ask
likewise he’s pretty versatile and is comfortable topping and bottoming with you if he trusts you enough… though generally speaking he has more experience topping so that’s his preference (but if you offer to go slow and help him prep with plenty of praise then bottoming is absolutely on the table too)
he’s always up for trying new things, just so long as you’re willing to wait for him to do some proper research first…
being the fount of knowledge, he’s always excited to learn new things about you and to put the things he already knows to good use. more often than not that just means him finding and exploiting ways to get you to cum harder and quicker for him… and sometimes when he really needs to get out his frustrations he uses that knowledge to tease and overstimulate and deny you until he’s had your fill
sometimes he’s too busy with his research or his students to give you the attention you deserve, so you’ll have to settle for riding him or cock warming him while he’s working alone in his office. and while he does enjoy both, and loves how you look when you’re bouncing on his cock and using him for your pleasure, he does prefer cock warming during these periods because he likes the intimacy of it all
the most sensitive parts of his body are his stomach and his sides, and gently tickling or kissing either is the best way to leave him red in the face and leaking through his robes
(and, likewise, he has all of your sensitive spots committed to memory and he makes good use of that knowledge pretty much every time you two go to bed)
he’s still vocal in the bedroom, but he’s quiet. he’s more so the type to whimper or moan and groan under his breath when you have sex — unlike how he is after his corruption: loud, proud, lewd, and practically incapable of shutting up when you’re in his bed
very much so into the praise side of things and couldn’t bring himself to actually degrade you even if you begged. playful teasing and lighthearted comments about how aroused you are and how much you want him are one thing (and something he makes use of a lot during foreplay), but actually belittling and mocking you just doesn’t sit right with him
(give him some time in the tree, though, and that will change)
he much prefers to take his time when you’re being intimate, more a fan of love making than fucking, but he can recognise that both have their place
though this flustered him beyond belief at the start of your relationship, the longer you two are together the more he finds himself really enjoying maintaining eye contact during sex — especially when he goes down on you and vice versa. there’s something so satisfying about watching your eyes get all glossy and blown out with pleasure or all teary from the struggle to take him fully down your throat…

Hello hello i'm the same anon you shared more empyrean thoughts on my ask!!
Just wanna say, as a reader i really do love reading long stories with lores and great understanding of how the story become how it is!! I'M REALLY ATING UP on how the MC meets grim and how both they will bond more especially with grim as their guide (grim will be stuck with us for our adventures :D)
I'm so invested that i read up all the empyrean posts hhh (i read the whole map thing too and found out abt broken bridges near heartslabyul and how the mc might have a connection with it, and also the areas that might have the characters frequently residing too but i'm getting too ahead of myself-)
Sorry i ended up rambling a lot ( ̄▽ ̄;) the point is i bet a lot of readers also enjoy reading it, so dont worry about the beginning of the chapters being boring or dragged out too much 🫶
Hellooo, anon. I'm happy to hear back from you! And I'm very very happy to hear you find it interesting! It's a lot of work and a huge project that's still in the beginning stages, which is why I appreciate the attention it's getting thus far. I would post more chapters, but I still fear having to go back and rewrite certain parts, so I'm going to tentatively say I'll put out a chapter once a month. For now.
Also, yes, Grim! Criminally underrated and often absent from many series. If it isn't obvious, since this AU is inspired by genshin, Grim is like Paimon, going to be with MC throughout the whole story.
Anyways, I'm surprised anyone took the time to read all the posts out so far? I have more in the drafts, but the published ones alone are still a lot. I won't confirm anything but I do drop hints for upcoming characters and lore a lot. Or at least, I try to. The lore pages is mostly fun for me to drop more knowledge that may or may not be important and just for those who want to learn more about the AU. Yes, lore pages will be linked to certain chapters, so look at for those later.
If I could I would yap more, but I can't yap too much without giving up spoilers or just information that might change later. So I don't mind your rambling, anon. In fact, it just gives me a reason to talk longer. Actually, maybe once an act (dorm) is completed, I can drop most of my notes on it. Just for reference, Heartsbyul's worldbuilding tab is like twenty-seven pages, I have a tab describing opinions and connections between all the characters (not complete, it goes as far as Octavinelle), profiles for Heartslabyul's five characters (still needs more detail), and a page for the five character's magic styles (like the one shown of Ace), plus all the lore pages for the dorm. It's a lot in all.

Princess Appretiation Week Day 6: Fan Princess
This one was the prompt I was most excited about! The only problem is that I literally only have joke/shitpost princesses as fan princesses atm. Well that doesn't stop me from taking them seriously anyways, so until I can give you a visual representation, I'm going to yap about my favorite fan princess of mine, The Veterinarian.
EDIT: forgot to make a cut! Sorry about that!
Chapter II: The Veterinarian
I came up with her during the whole Hero has a peanut allergy thing (talked about her in this post), but I realized she was actually a pretty good idea and decided to elaborate on it.
Yes, you get her by eating a peanut and having a fatal allergic reaction. This is a shitpost. The peanut allergy factor is non-negotiable.
There are two variations of Vet, harsh and soft, depending on the knife as per usual. The core concept of the Vet stays the same: she believes that you are little more than an animal. Soft princess takes this as a sign that she needs to take care of you, since you clearly can't do it yourself. Harsh princess takes this as an opportunity to control and hold power over you. Soft Vet's voice is described as "tender," while Harsh Vet's is "full of false sweetness." Um personality wise Soft acts basically how you would expect and Harsh has kind of a Razor vibe, y'know? Obviously untrustworthy, trying to be deceptive, insane, the works.
While she doesn't seem to have any magical abilities at first glance, the player will learn that she is incredibly strong and almost entirely invulnerable (she can't be scratched or cut), despite no visible indicators of being so. The player cannot move her or easily hurt her.
The basement is now transformed into a "somewhat sterile laboratory," with an examination table now sitting where the princess usually is. A small bench nearby is covered in various medical tools, most of them sharp and all of them looking a little dangerous. The princess herself is now free from her chains (she picked the lock), which she seems to have moved in a way that would allow her to fasten down whoever lays on the table. Upon entering the basement, Vet will have her back to you, cleaning the tools at her bench and turning around after you make your first choice.
In either variation, the Vet doesn't feel threatened if you bring the blade downstairs. Soft will fret about it being dangerous and the chance of you accidentally hurting yourself with it, while Harsh will simply talk down on you about "trying to play with her tools." Both scenarios will then forcefully confiscate the knife.
She will soon lock you to the table and continue to prepare her tools, giving the player the option to question her/try to reason with her. No matter what, the Vet will disregard the player's desires, opinions, etc. since "She knows what's best." After a set number of questions, she will then muzzle you to "keep you safe" (soft) or "to keep you from getting in the way" (harsh).
The Vet's goal is to "give you a checkup." Although Harsh vet hints at just wanting to hurt you, soft is being genuine, but it is clear that she doesn't actually have much medical knowledge and is very unsure of what she's doing. Either way, the "checkup" is, perhaps ironically, the exact same sequence of events in both routes. What exactly that sequence is is TBD, but long story short your additional actions will determine if you are freed or killed, with the Harsh "default" being killed and the Soft "default" being freed, although the soft variation of freed includes her "escorting" you out of the cabin to make sure you get out ok while the harsh variation is an escape attempt which leaves the Vet downstairs (shifty comes in both endings).
If you die, you continue on to
Chapter III: The Surgeon.
The Surgeon is a more extreme version of Vet: more desperate, and more willing to take drastic actions, namely operate a risky procedure on you (I'm unsure about the motive yet). She's more of a middle-ground between the two variations, but there are some minor differences due to the prior chapter, mostly in dialogue.
The cabin has taken on a more mad-scientist feel to it, being darker and holding twice as many sinister-looking instruments. Whatever happens down there is certainly going to be rough...and violent.
To be honest, I've barely fleshed out the Surgeon yet, so that's about all I got on her now.
As far as voices go for these princesses, for whatever reason, I'm hesitant to create a new main voice for them. Instead, I'm considering Cheated, Hunted, or Broken as a good second voice (or maybe a pair?). I'm willing to take suggestions!
Again, I would really like to draw the Veterinarian for you, (and The Surgeon!), so I promise to work on that and show you as soon as they're done.
Wow, that was a lot! Hope you enjoyed my rambling, have a great day!❤️

Hii Percy!! I'm curious- what would be your ideal fnaf game after SOTM releases?
HI CHIP!! of course theres so many things I want to see after waiting so long but honestly I think a ggy game is what I'm expecting next. honest to god anything ranging from vanny!cassie to ggy and all the (human and not Cassies dad) characters in between I would be very happy with. it's why I'm so excited for sotm to finally release and end the mimic incorporation era. literally everything else it has left to cover are things that I would love
but yeah I think a ggy game would be absolutely hype and is actually very likely because of the THREE references/easter eggs weve gotten for him in a row!! I'm very excited to see what they're doing for him because damn ggy for Gregory's backstory has gone untouched for so long
I would love to see it explored in a campaign scenario of Gregory himself finding out about it but tbh I'm honestly expecting some prequel game about it that mostly just confirms it exists and expands upon content we dont know about from ggy like Rabs design and how he interacts with vanny. campaign would obviously be so much better for everyone involved but any ggy content is a win in my book
#it fundamentally cant be as boring as what sotm is doing if they go the game mostly about book content route#because theres a lot more freedom with ggy and things that we dont know about him that they can expand upon#and give everyone new content for#but i guess what i really want for ggy is for them to treat it like a present day campaigh#where its treated as a 'reveal' and not just boringly confirming information#like i want to see in universe as a story gregory reacting to and learning about his past#its so possible#HONESTLY if i got into it i could say my dream scenario is a ggy/gregorys backstory plotline in the big vanny!cassie villain game#where in between the campaign for the main storyline of savinf cassie#gregory learns about ggy#like that would be peak to me#but realistically we're prob gonna get 1 game exploring it and confirming it and giving us congent that fills in the gaps#which OF COURSE would be a huge win#but i just want it to affect the story in any way possible so bad#i want to see how it affects gregory#i want to know for sure confirmed if gregory really does have amnesia or not and if he rememebrs ggy#its all so interesting and it has so much potential#i feel like theres actually a good chance they could do a campaign bc gregorys mystery and mysterious backstory has#always been a huge deal about his character and like his main thing going on#so like they actually COULD try and do a storyline abt it instead of just confirming it#id be totally happy if they did a ggy campaign of gregory finding out as its own game first#outside of vanny!cassie plotline game and when that arrives gregory has knowledge abt ggy so he goes about thjngs differently#as well for sure.#literally in any way shape or form if they did a campaign present day post-sb game revealing ggy to the audience AND gregory#that would be my best case scenario#but once again truly anything that isnt mimic or Cassies dad will make me so happy#pandas.txt#pandas asks#pre ggy game#pre security breach 2

theres a lotta things i wanted to do this year but I think the thing that would help me the most is to like. start personal projects that make me enjoy my work again. x( i wanna be excited about game development and making games again, it really helped me push myself to learn and get better and this stagnating just feels terrible. Knowing what I'm capable of but not being able to set on the path to getting there.
#i unfortunately thrive in group settings with other passionate ppl#my work is not really a collaborative group setting#and my senior thesis project really burnt me out and kinda killed some of that joy#if i wanna keep in this career i need to figure out how to consistently stay driven#i should be modeling or texturing or sculpting or creating things every day#even just an hour a day#also if i want to be able to do more stuff that i can use in my portfolio i just need to get a lot quicker at making things#so i can justify my work to my boss#that + proper photogrammetry would b really useful#personal stuff#i never had any illusions about where i would go with this degree#i never really thought nor planned to get into any large studios working on huge games#i don't hate where i am with my job and that we do really meaningful stuff is incredible#i just wish it felt like any of it was MY work :/#i feel so disconnected from what I make and it's hard for me to feel pride in it#i gotta settle this out this year or get started on a new career path#and just let this be a personal thing for personal projects#the imposter syndrome is real too#by all rights i am fairly knowledgeable about what i do and i can be pretty quick learning new pipelines and texturing methods#i just am fighting executive dysfunction all hours of the day#i feel like i get so little done so slowly compared to so many other people#i see other ppl's portfolios and I feel embarrassed that I'm not at their level#im a 'its never too late to learn' person but man it feels like i'll just never catch up in terms of skill and speed and consistent output#every time i try to reassure myself it just falls flat. they had mentors but not everybody had mentors and they're still better :/#i have adhd and i have a hard time self-starting. but a really large amount of creatives in all fields have adhd and they still do so well#every thing that makes it tougher is the same for so many other people and it feels so frustrating that im just having a hard time#overcoming what everyone else seems to have overcome just fine#anyway sry for the rambling#i miss loving games soo much and having so many ideas and wanting to l earn new things

Actually I think it's a bit unfair that I can't be an astrophysicist and a historian and a game developer and a marine biologist and an archaeologist and an author and a seamstress at the same time
#I think I have a quarter-life crisis /hj#like I want to make space discoveries but I also want to analyse ww2 battles and I want to-#study the behaviour of whales and I want to create fictional worlds and I want to sew costumes and and and#there's so much knowledge out there to be learned and things to try out how are you supposed to do this all in one lifetime?#when you're expected to start working a fulltime job and stay in that line for the rest of your life??#though my problem isn't necessarily that I don't wanna be doing that job - it's more that I don't *only* wanna be doing that job#I just wish I could just try different job fields and see what they're like for like 2-3 years before trying out something else#but since they're all so different I'd have to start from the bottom again every time which probably also means worse payment etc#and I just don't have the time for that because I'd also like to build a stable life and maybe have a family later on#plus some of these jobs are just don't pay very well to begin with#I swear if I was rich and didn't have to worry about regular income I'd probably just be a forever student and study a whole bunch of stuff#just because I want to#unless I win the lottery I'll probably just start working fulltime though once I hopefully finish my master's#however I've already been thinking about signing up for studying history afterwards regardless - just for fun without pressure#I love the topic and then I wouldn't have the pressure of *needing* to find a job in the field afterwards#bc it's hard to find something unless you go for the teacher (or maybe professor) route plus pay seems kinda meh either way#but we'll see#I don't even know what this post is supposed to be. like not really a vent but. still complaining? idk#I don't know how to tag this#selnia talks

another fun fact about my dumb little ninjastuck au is that, bc she was raised by kai/the occasional sympathetic ignacian, nya knows very little about troll culture. colton, who had a lusus and some influence from his ancestor, takes it upon himself to teach nya all the things she missed (jay also tries to do this to varying levels of success. they are both idiots <3).
this results in colton crushing pale on nya btw <>
#ninjastuck#remembered this au existed and. hmmmm yeah i still like it#kai similarly knows very little abotu trolls. most of what he knows is either rumors/bits of info that he picked up#+ knowledge of nya's general needs#zane learned a LOT from the tinkerer re: the things a troll would need to know but not very much abotu humans bc the tinkerer didn't know#very much himself. not that it mattered when zane's memories got yoinked + his design modified to give him a human guise so that he might b#more palatable to any local human populations and thus safer <-tinkerer's reasoning#jay kind of got a mixed upbringing bc sandgear & clipwire got really invested into taking care of this random baby they found as a Project#and so just kinda tried to make sure he'd have access to more human modes of thinking#but he did still learn a lot about troll social interactions#+ creative freedom to work on his inventions and other passions bc they heard encouragement was good for human children and RAN w/ that#meanwhile while lilly and colton were close and she kind of almost was his mother in spirit he didn't express much curiosity in human stuff#and most of what she taught him was how to fight and how to garden#+ a little bit of the context behind the tea ceremony they did to pass her powers to him#so really both jay and colton are trying so so hard to help nya (and kai by extension) get all the things she missed out on in her childhoo#but in truth they're all learning from each other <3

god how many months years is it gonna take me to learn my way around the veilguard files in frosty gahhh
#the biggest problem is that i found out that there's a frosty alpha that will load it BEFORE finishing the game#i could finish the game tonight. probably? idk how much is left but definitely not much#(ik i was posting about it near the end earlier but i went and took a break for a few hours because i was STARVING)#but now im gonna be playing with this at least trying to locate the kinds of files im interested#unfortunately there's no string viewer yet. but maybe that's a good thing because id be here forever if there was#my main thing is i want to go through and get a proper list of all items and codex entries for lore purposes#i can probably get info about gear stats but cant see names or descriptions for now#personal#da#dav#remembering how long it took to get the hang of dai files. bleh. im pretty good with those now (and a lot of that knowledge is transferable#but it'll take a while to learn dav-specific stuff#and so much of it just uses hashes instead of linking files noooo im gonna just have to do an xml dump

why does showtime have random episodes where they just make as much mj references as they can
#like they're just sometimes in the mood to keep referencing mj & altho it's always respectful & actually funny is so scary as someone who's#hyperfixated ong. but keep d oing it pls :)#between jhong saying mj's voice was girl-like (not mockingly but as a gender nonconforming thing bc the male singers had high voices/soft#falsettos & somebody commented they sound like girls) & the singers moonwalking..#(& omg just made sense now why kris lawrence did that. lots of pop/r&b singers from y2k era are defos mj students :') )#mj's legacy in Pinas is so interesting it's weird to realize how i'm actually not sure of its full scope#like entertainment-wise yes his impact was huge i still remember those 80s shows where the traces of mj was so obvious. the beat it-like -#choreos in shows. the gary v performances obvs. the fashion also & even now ofc the obvs influence in pop stars & groups#but outside of entertainment how was he viewed? his philanthropy yea '95 manila hospital visit is pretty well-known#his philosophies & views in life tho..i'm not sure ppl know much about his personal life nor do they seem to care..?#i guess it's the reverence. mj's 'magical' image is so strong i think some people believe he's really an alien too before his death lmao#and some tabloid things unfortunately was widely-believed such as the 'want to be white' thing & the occult stuff bc fils love that stuff😭#ooh i wish i remember lots of stuff about showtime before the abs-cbn shutdown when billy was still there as a host all i remember is#vice's solid rants and shots @ duts administration#billy & vh0ng & jhong were defos the ones making mj references the most i feel like as the dancers w/big admiration 4 mj. esp billy who got#to dance with him in the '95 mtv awards (which is still insane to me omg)#what i'm interested about is vice tho. there was this one time in that segment where they recite quotes from famous people & they have to#guess who said it. & the mj quote they chose was not very well-known but it was one of his philosophical ones & vice guessed it correctly#on the first try...vice has this certain kind of wisdom where they're able to exhibit deep understanding & empathy for others. & ik they're#defos not perfect but i rlly feel like vice is the kind of person who would know that there's a lot to learn from mj & his philosophies. as#a performer as a philanthropist as a person who embodied kindness while also challenging the status quo#pushing against the system & society set to oppress & silence them#i feel like lots of things about mj would resonate a lot with vice. and i mean A LOT. nonconformity & the courage to be themselves...#not to say that they are very similar but i just feel like vice is the type of person who also studied the greats to apply the knowledge#they've imparted ykno. & they just generally know about a LOT of things#so i wonder how much vice knows about him. i hope they'd share more of their thoughts someday that'd be so cool#u can develop an interest over a legendary pop icon. but watch out

i miss being a construction worker cause honestly a lot of my time on the job i wouldnt do anything LOL but i do genuinely also miss like. the job itself. i miss how a lot of my work revolved around going into empty buildings and go anywhere inside of them. fix them nicely ... whenever there's construction work in the offices and bathrooms and stuff it makes my heart hurt so badly. i love getting glimpses of the utility closets. i always felt like a fly on the wall maintaining an office or building but not really being APART of the culture inside of it yannow. being there transiently
#i try and say things to the custodians and the construction workers that always made my heart sing to hear#and now out of all the people who work in my building a lot of them recognize me and say hi to me specifically lol#i still remember the man who stopped while i was painting the door and said ''thank you for making our office more beautiful''#i still think about that man ... the color i was painting was atrocious honestly LOL but he was so nice to me ..#its funny how much of my assumptions on supervisors and managers and office work turned out to be true#not that im an office worker now#but i work for the people who work in the offices LOL. and ..... yeah ...#but i always felt a kinship with factory workers and warehouse workers too#but i miss being a fly on the wall. i miss maintaining a building lovingly#i miss seeing these secret intricacies of the buildings. of the world#every time i get a glimpse behind a ceiling tile .. i love to see it ... i miss working in it ...#it was painful and tiresome and really worked my shit out differently#but i miss it ....#im glad i have that skill now. i like how i know HOW to patch walls and paint and sand and install shit and everything like that yannow#but i miss how i used to see the world. now my everyday is sort of soulsucking#i hate my job........ with construction work i felt some sense of love about it. some sense of DOING something real#what im doing now doesnt apply to ANYTHING .... its so STUPID#im filled with USELESS knowledge on something so specific its like worthless outside of here#construction skills are like some home ec shit u just like can use in your everyday life#what im doing is like. like its REAL right but its like. REAL STUPID also#i know its not like completely nothing and im learning valuable shit in there right. in SOME way. but god does it feel DUMB .......

I'm in the middle of a knitting project right fucking now, and I'm already looking at other projects to do. I'm not even close to finishing the current project and I'm looking at like three others. It's a real problem
#so the thing is i really like to knit as gifts (the project im on right now is a christmas gift for my sibling)#so i like to think of knitting projects i could do as gifts for upcoming holidays and such#but also i like cool things#so im looking at this bat cape for myself#i dont even have an occasion to wear a cape. and even crazier-#im trying to figure out how to make my own patterns. so i can knit a tapestry/blanket thing. of a fictional map from a ttrpg#im playing a ttrpg rn and i have become obsessed#and im painting the map onto a clipboard (it takes place at a summer camp and summer camp map on a clipboard makes sense)#but apparently thats not enough for me. because i want it as a full tapestry or blanket#but because it was created in my girlfriend's head (shes the gm) it doesnt exist as a pattern online#so i have to figure out how to make it come to life#thats way beyond my skillset. ive been knitting since 2019 and i only figured out the purl stitch in the last like year#i recently learned double knitting which has been fun. and thats as complex as my knitting knowledge gets#i knitted a nice shawl once. that and the double knitting is where it ends for me#so of course im trying to figure out colorwork for a map#idek where to start with that one. if you know then please lmk#it has like three colors and thats one more color than im used to#i lied maybe four. maybe five. okay so theres green for land. blue for the lake. black for buildings and roads#then like beige or gray for a bit of cliffs. and there's also a shipwreck that i would have to figure out#if that helps you help me then please let me know cuz i really want to do this project#im super passionate about this game and the campaign and i love knitting. i would love to do something with it related to knitting#there are two really good artists in the party that share their amazing art#one of them made a much better map than my painted one that i havent finished. so i think it would be so funny to swing in with a#knitted tapestry or something. and because its a colorwork blanket it will be years down the road. but there are such nice drawings#and then me coming in with a knitted map. thatd be so fun#anyway i went on a ramble in here. i should go work on the current knitting project i have
