#verse: god busters(?)

[pfhwrittes]

P, inquiring minds (me) want to know, for Talk Shop Tuesday, if you had to recommend one of your works to someone, what would you choose, and why?

For funsies, in the Tradie 141-verse, what are Alejandro's and Rudy's trades? Can you confirm my personal tradie-verse headcanon that The Shadow Company are union busters? 

sy! hello beloved friend! 💜

oh shit okay. um. hmmm. oh fuck. can i cheat and recommend the whole of the Binders and Boyfriends Masterlist? it's got a little bit of everything in it (smut, angst, fluff). if i can't cheat, i'm going to recommend this drabble because i'm proud of it despite it not showing up on any masterlist (oops, i should fix that!)

OH THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS. yes yup yep yep yep. the shadow company are 100% union busters and i HATE THEM. i am going to throw the fuck down with philip "dickhead" graves. GET WRECKED DICKFACE. I WILL PLANT MY SIZE FIVE WORK BOOTS UP HIS ARSE AND MAKE HIM TASTE STEEL TOES THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE.

alejandro and rudy. 100% those guys run their own painting and decorating firm. "Los Vaqueros. Cowboys by name, not by nature!". price definitely recommends work to them and they join him on jobsites allllll the time. ale gets worked up over the customer's colour choices and rudy has a steadying presence to temper his partner's outbursts and somehow manages to get the customer to choose any other colour than Landlord Special Beige. thank god for rudy.

Canon Event Maintenance: A Gwenpool in BTSV fic

Gwen Stacy stared at the small group they had managed to amass. Compared to the hundreds of Spider-People Miguel had on his side, they weren't much, but they had potential.

"Okay, first thing we need is resources and allies." She announced, "We don't want to bring in anyone who doesn't know about the multiverse, or get them involved if you don't think they should, but if there's anyone you know who might lend us a hand, please get us in contact with them."

There was silence as all the Spiders thought this over. Because of course none of them had a solid support network. They were Spiders. Maybe Miguel was right about all that canon event stuff, even if the murder was unjustified.

It was Peter B who raised his hand, looking incredibly reluctant.

"I think I know a gal." He admitted, face twisted into a grimace, "And she would be really eager to join in on this."

"...Okay, so why's your face doing that thing?" Pavitr asked.

"Yeah! What's the catch, buster?" Spider-Ham cocked his head.

"There's nothing wrong with her! She's a wonderful kid. Just... well, you'll understand when you meet her."

In dimension 616-B, the Spider-Band stood at the top of a skyscraper, looking at the cars milling down below. Not a single building was close enough to parkour jump from, so how this mystery person was supposed to get there... Peni didn't know.

And another thing. Peter was being very evasive about the details. They didn't even know her name! But he promised that she was trustworthy, and the entire band had to take him at his word.

"Where even is she, mate?" Hobie asked, looking around impatiently, "We're nearing the agreed time, and there's no sign of her."

"Give it a sec." Peter shook his head, rocking Mayday a little in her sleep. Then, he took a slow, deliberate step to the right, just as a white hole ripped into the air above him and a figure dropped down. She was a white girl, wearing a pink civilian hoodie with a baseball hat under the hood. Her eyes were obscured by purple sunglasses that didn't seem to match her style, and had one hand shoved into the pocket of her shorts. The other one was lazily holding a unsheathed katana, with a pink handle.

Before anyone could comment, she was already talking, "Hey, Peter, what's the sitch that got you to finally call me up for a teamup? I---" She froze, finally noticing the other extradimensional spider-people all standing there. Peni had the dreadful realization that Peter had not told her anything about the spider-verse when calling her.

And then an excited grin stretched over her face.

"Oh. My. Marvel. Gods." She pulled off the sunglasses to reveal blue eyes, throwing them to the side, where they got swallowed up by another white rip in reality as if it was a normal occurrence, "This is a Spider-Verse event."

What? How'd she known that? Everyone exchanged discomfited glances, except Peter, who nodded gratefully, "Oh, good, so you're already filled in and everything. I was hoping you would be."

"Uh? Duh." The strange girl rolled her eyes, hopping excitedly in place, "Wow. Wow. I'm important enough to be in a Spider-Verse event. Except... damn, this is just a fic, so does it really count?"

Pavitr was making chopping motions, trying to get them to quit the meeting. Peni had similar doubts. Who was this girl? And how much could she really help?

"I'm getting ahead of myself!" She laughed, "Let's start from the beginning. One last time." Another giggle as she took a quick step back and... vanished? For barely a millisecond, and it was only SP//DR's keen sight which told her that, because then she was back, dressed in a pink and white battle-grade leotard, with leather pouches and guns strapped all over her. There was a mask, but it was clutched in her hand, allowing them to see shoulder-length blond hair tipped with pink that, combined with her skin tone and blue eyes and overall color pallette made her look a lot like... Gwen.

Everyone's eyes drifted to the woman in question, and Peni knew they were all thinking the same thing. Peter's contact took a sweeping bow, "Hello, then! My name's Gwen Poole! I can manipulate reality as well as the Scarlet Witch can!"

Huh. Well, okay then.

Author's Notes:

Might do a part two if you guys enjoy. Seen a lot of people thinking about a Gwenpool in the Spider-Verse movies cameo, but not enough fics to solve that problem. By which I mean any. I haven't seen any fics. Pls tag me if theres a tumblr fic like this. Characterization is a little off bc Gwen P. is too excited to think straight. Her media awareness and the mechanics of it will be built up further, but lets just say she knows she's in a fic, but not in which fandom its for, so reacting to it like a comic teamup.

Also. Those were indeed Kate's sunglasses she was wearing.

Transformers: Mosaic #340 - "Heroes"

Originally posted on February 9th, 2009

Story, Letters - Carlos Oliveros Art - Iván Mas Colours - Rafael Yáñez

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005 | BotTalk

wada sez: (chuckles) I’m in danger. For over a week, I’m going to be serialising the “Human Component” strips by Iván Mas, which each focus on a different character from the Japanese Transformers cartoon Super-God Masterforce. A curious fandom titbit is that, while the Japan-originated continuations of the G1 cartoon were never broadcast in English, they were translated and dubbed into Spanish, giving them surprising prominence in Spanish-speaking pockets of the fandom. Thing is, I haven’t seen a single episode of Masterforce, so take my annotations with a big fat pinch of salt. Luckily, this first strip by Carlos Oliveros basically serves to provide a dramatis personae and acquaint readers with the conceit of Masterforce as laid out in its first episode. The Autobot and Decepticon Pretenders arrive on Earth in its distant past, and over the course of history the Autobots successfully seal away the Decepticons, inspiring humanity’s myths. In the present day, however, the Decepticons have escaped to wreak havoc anew! Gasp! This strip was dedicated to the memory of the lead writer of both Masterforce and Victory, Hiroyuki Hoshiyama. Weirdly, in the commentary, artist Mas seems to talk as if this was intended as an IDW strip, despite there being absolutely nothing in the strip itself to present it as anything other than a direct adaptation of the anime? Anyway, it seems to me that the Mosaic editors didn’t really know what to do with the “Human Component” strips, which made limited use of sequential storytelling, focused on an extremely obscure series, and were being produced at a startling rate. Mas had intended for them to be interspersed with other strips of his, but collaborators would result in delays; in the end, the Mosaic editors more or less paced them out between other strips by other creative teams, but I’ve decided to lump them together for ease of reading. And because I’m a freak, I’m tagging all the characters under their original Western names; Bomb-Burst is here called Blood (because he’s a vampire), Skullgrin becomes Dauros (a corruption of “tauros”, i.e. bull), and Submarauder becomes Gilmer (because he’s a fish with gills). A huge quantity of teasers and behind-the-scenes material is included below the break, along with my massaged machine translation of Mas’ own commentary for the strip.

Bullhorn, Minerva & Mega

Buster, Hydra & Giga

Shūta & Lightfoot

Clouder & Cancer

I'm not sure how the idea of making a mosaic of these characters came up, but the truth is that I consider Masterforce by nature of the characters, chapters, drawings, plot, variety, etc, it’s the best Transformers series that has been made and certainly I think it has enormous potential.

In contrast to this maybe that's why I'm surprised by the fact that outside Japan there is almost nothing of this theme, and almost everything we find is from the 80's, a shame, but I thought it was a good way to introduce the subject in the IDW-verse, even if it is in an UNOFFICIAL way, but at least it will see enough people who may be curious about the series, they can see it and maybe they will like it.

Hopefully in the not too distant future we will be able to see something of these characters.

The concept of transformer presented here is very different from what we are used to, it is a very japanese concept, but not worse, it is simply different, in this aspect the mosaic is more as you can see, a kind of introduction to the characters and setting the scene than anything else, but as a first point of contact I think it's fine, there is another Masterfroce on the way, I hope you can see it soon.

Sakura's Thoughts on Division Leaders

Ichiro Yamada 

“So this is the most famous delinquent in Ikebukuro.” Sakura sighs. “Would you be surprised if I told you I met him once during his Stairway to Heaven days? One of their members, Mozuku Shito, had tried to cheat the Kito-gumi. So I went to Ikebukuro and beat the shit out of him for pulling a stunt like that. Ichiro tried to get involved, and I gave him one warning. ‘Try and stop me, and you’ll learn what happens when you cross me.’ I think he got the message.”

Samatoki Aohitsugi 

“Despite what many would think, Aohitsugi and I are on neutral terms with each other. As you know, females in the yakuza are extremely rare, so having one as a leader? Unheard of. So when he came down to Shizuoka with his boss for a meeting with me and as much as he tried to hide it, I knew he was surprised to learn that I was the head of the Kito-gumi. Even then, I know he's cautious of me. The story of how I came to power is well-known in the criminal underworld. So as long as he and his men don't try anything in Shizuoka, we won't have any problems.”

Ramuda Amemura

“I've dealt with a few of these fuckers. They’re like cockroaches popping out of nowhere.  Chuohku sent them to deal with Reika and me. I had four of them trying to attack me one night. They weren't expecting me to fire a bullet at their mics before they could say a verse. It was easy to deal with them afterward. They were so physically weak that it wasn't even funny.” Sakura lit a cigarette. “I left them with Kanon who looked delighted to have them. Kanon told me how they were made and to be honest? I’m not even surprised Chuohku is attempting to play god. I swear if I see another one it would be too soon.” Sakura sighs. “I have a feeling though we're going to be seeing them very soon.”     

Jakurai Jinguji 

“I'm not the biggest fan of doctors after watching them for years turn a blind eye to the abuse I suffered by my so-called family but Jakurai is one of the few I trust. He has this calming way of talking to his patients and he doesn't ask any unnecessary questions. So out of everyone in the first D.R.B, I was hoping for him to win and you know what? He won. I sent him a bottle of sake to him and his team as congratulations even if he's such a lightweight. It's always entertaining to see him when he's drunk. His teammates didn't appreciate it though.”

Sasara Nurude 

“How does a comedian somehow become partners with a yakuza? No seriously how did Aohitsugi find him? He's a clown. Although I'll admit he didn't do too bad as a gang member. I had the chance to meet Nurude back when he and Aohitsugi were known as Mad Comic Dialogue. Personally, his jokes aren't to my taste but you can't win them all I guess. From what I know he and Aohitsugi had a fight over something, broke up and Nurude went back to Osaka to continue his career as a comedian. He even came to Shizuoka once I believe.” Sakura snorts. “Reika says she would pay for him not to perform if he ever comes back. Perhaps I should take Kanon and Reika to his next show in Shizuoka as payback for all the stress they give me.”

Kuko Harai 

“He was Ichiro's partner with the Stairway to Heaven. If I recall correctly they were known as the Naughty Busters. Much like with Ichiro I met Kuko when I went to deal with that double-crossing Mozuku. He was much more feral than Ichiro at least. Last I heard they had a fight that caused them to break up. Wondered what happened to cause that. They seemed to get along pretty well when I saw them. Although, I’m still not quite sure how he's a monk. His mannerisms and behavior leave little to be desired but to each his own on what they want to be.”

*Is it possible for a human being the a koala's nephew? Well.. nothing is impossible~

Namjoon's pov

The Moon theater.. the world's most beautiful theater, in my opinion.

My uncle, Buster Moon, is the chief of this amazing theater and I really admire him.

Since I was a child, I come here to watch the shows' premiere.

To be honest, at first, they seemed boring...

But.. I've really felt sorry when I discovered that the whole building just collapsed and that my uncle lost everything.

Because..yes, for him, this theater is his life, above all, 'cause my grandpa worked hard for buying it for his son.

Luckily, my uncle's positivity never betrayed him, not even then:

He setup a pseudo theater with the remains of the old one, and obviously, with the help of his crew too, then bring a mind-blowing show.

He managed to rebuild the Moon Theater, and after several adventures, he managed to debut together with the other members of the crew in the famous town of Redshore City, in the Crystal Tower Theater, just think... that even the great Clay Callway was part of the show and now...it's part of the crew!! But I think you already know all the details, don't you?

It seemed like a hopeless situation! But my uncle's voice was still enthusiastic as he told me what had happened and it was also full of amusement. After hearing this story and seeing for myself the show that brought uncle Buster and his crew to their current fame, "Out of This World", literally a whole new world opened up for me.

I started to appreciate theater more and also started to develop the dream of wanting to bring my own show. I've always loved hip hop and rap for as long as I can remember.

I always had a deep connection with music, through my lyrics I tried to express myself and most of the time I was able to do it great, in fact, I still do it now.

Even at school I spent hours writing down lyrics, and I got numerous scoldings from the teacher because I completely forgot about the lesson.. one day, I even rapped the verse of one of my songs, out loud, during a class test... despite this, however, I was a model student!

Anyway....

other times, I did Freestyle battles with my other classmates or older students and... I always won, modestly. And  when I don't write lyrics or produce songs, for lack of inspiration, I take refuge in books or in nature. Books inspire me a lot and also thanks to them I have the pleasure to flex my open mind.

I like reading especially under the huge oak near my house, with the sounds of nature accompanying my reading sessions.

Going back to my big dream... before becoming interested in the theatre, I didn't have a real dream, in fact one of the songs I am most emotionally attached to, is "No more dream", written before my conversion. I would love to include it as an introduction to my show.. but I never had the courage to talk about it with Uncle Buster.. but today I know it's the right day to tell him!

I'm sure he'll take my idea and help me make it happen! I run to the theater with a USB full of songs that I recorded. I enter into my uncle's office, almost breaking the door, because of the emotion, and find Miss Crawly, my uncle's over 100 year old secretary(Johnny and Ash speculate that she has existed since the time of the dinosaurs) cleaning the desk.

'Good morning, dear Namjoon!! Did you sleep well?'

After all, she's a sweet old lady.

'Good morning, Miss Crawly! Yes! I slept very well!

Can you tell me where I can find uncle Buster?'

I ask, impatiently.

'Oh, Mr. Moon is downstairs, he's helping the guys carrying their suitcases!'

I am perplexed.

'Suitcases?'

'Yes! The tour starts today! Don't you remember?'

Oh god the "Out of This World" tour.. I totally forgot about that.

I won't see my uncle for months... And I'll have to postpone the realization of my dream... again...

I go, feeling down, with Miss Crawly, downstairs where i find uncle Buster on his own. I run to hug him and wish him a safe journey. I'm sure this tour will take the show even higher and I'm so happy for the whole crew. This has always been my uncle's biggest dream and then... he deserves it, he has gone through everything to achieve this goal, he worked hard, all of the members worked hard.

'Listen, Nam, I want to give you a very important task!'

Uncle's voice always energizes me, he's always so full of positivity, one of the many reasons I admire him.

'What kind of task??'

I ask, curiously.

My uncle is unpredictable, you never know what can go through that hairy head.

'I want to entrust the teather to you!!'

HE WANTS TO DO WHAT?

...

...

I don't know what to say, I can only gasp. I told y'all, my uncle is unpredictable... but I didn't that much..

'I'm sure you're the best person to run our wonderland! And then you will not be alone! Miss Crawly will be there to help you!'

I can't say anything, but I think uncle felt my happiness. That theatre, that place of wonder, would become mine, temporarily, but mine.

my uncle smiles. I knew he would understand anyway. He always told me that he finds a little bit of himself in me. And there is no more beautiful compliment for me.

'But now, if you'll excuse me, the bus is leaving!! I love you, my nephew!!'

And after hugging me again.. he goes away, leaving the whole theater in my inexperienced hands.. But come on... at least there's Miss Craw-

'Namjoon!! Have you seen my glass eye????'

...okay maybe it will be more difficult than expected..

As I help Miss Crawly in looking for her glass eye, hoping I haven't already crushed it and shattered it into a thousand pieces under my foot, without realizing it, in my head there is a tangle of thoughts and ideas but, obviously, the most accentuated one, and which let a toothy smile appear on my face, is certainly to make my biggest dream come true. It seems a bit as if uncle already knew..and therefore he had literally left me a blank check..because when Uncle Buster is absent with the company, generally, the theater remains closed..

I turn around, looking at the building keys, in my hands.

Now it almost seems as if uncle, with this move, told me "Hurry up and seize the moment, my nephew" By now I'm almost 30 years old, I want to bring my own show and I'll try now, moreover, I also want to discover myself and I really want to identify myself as Namjoon Moon and not just "Buster Moon's nephew". I run to the office to move all the songs I've written down over the years to my uncle's computer, at least the most suitable ones, and I start writing the script for my show. As soon as I conclude the first draft of the storyline, I realize that it is already evening.

I decide to print the script and, while looking for a stapler, I finally find the Miss Crawly's glass eye, I have to advise her to put more glue on it..

After a week finally the plot of my show is finished and ready to be put on stage. I also adjusted the melodies and lyrics.

Now the main problem ... the actors / singers and dancers .. I think it will not be a piece of cake as my face is little known beyond my neighborhood, also I have never presented myself as a public figure, but it won't be bad to try, right ? Maybe my surname will help me in this case.

'Miss Crawly!! Can you please print some flyers for the show's auditions? I'll send you a draft!'

Miss Crawly's office is literally attached to my uncle's, so between our offices there was just a transparent window. So i asked her to print the flyers with all the info about the auditions, like the time of the event, it will be tomorrow at 9:30 PM.

Hope we will be able to deliver all of them in time... 

After printing enough flyers were printed, the Miss Crawly's fan just decide to 'share' them by flying them out of the window...well...so.. the teather itself is trying to help me. 

I remember that this happened to uncle Buster too, when he was still in debts .. maybe it will bring me good luck too. I cross my fingers..

I'm going to move here, for this period. I will sleep in uncle's room. Yes, he sleeps in the theatre, did I already tell you that this theater is literally his life? Probably yes. Now that I think about it, I'm starting to bond with it too. I feel that... something beautiful, really beautiful, is about to happen.

Y/n's pov

"I'd still catch a grenade for ya

Throw my hand on a blade for ya

I'd jump in front of a train for ya

You know I'd do anything for ya.."

I love this song. I've always been a big fan of Bruno Mars and this song is one of favorites of all the time. I've always imagined what it was like to feel a love so strong to get to the point of, take a grenade, jump in front of a moving train, put your hands on a sword... in summary, sacrifice yourself for your loved one. I feel a love like that for singing, not for a person, every now and then I take some lessons, but I've never performed on stage, and I don't think I would ever be able to, as much as I wish. I love to hum when I read. Yes, I also love to read, especially psychology books. But tonight was different. Instead of starting one of the novels I bought at the bookstore today, my friends literally dragged me to the disco and... I'll be honest... it was not only the first but also the last time I'll set foot in such places... it's not my cup of tea I've always been a person who doesn't like these kinds of entertainment. For me, leisure is reading, on the comfortable bed in my room, singing outloud when I'm alone, taking walks on the hill behind my house, or... going to the theater!! We have one of the most renowned theaters in the nation in town, the Moon Theater! Actually my passion for singing was born right there! Before that.. I didn't have a real dream and I was desperate because I wanted to find one!

I went to the show that Mr. Buster put on after the fall of his theater and from the very first performance, in which Mrs. Rosita and Gunter danced and sang to Taylor Swift's "Shake it up", to the last performance, in which Meena, I love her voice, sang "don't worry about a thing" by Tori Kelly, Johnny's performance too, where he sang "I'm still standing" by Elton John, i admit i had a big crush on him for a few months.. In summary, my life has changed since then, and I still go there often... that place has something magical about it... it's a land of wonders.. now that I think about it, they staged a show on 'Alice in Wonderland' too! That's one of my favorite shows. I really should go there, these days, who knows what show will be scheduled... I get lost in thoughts, remembering the shows I went to watch in the last period, while I take one of my friends to her house, who is completely drunk, then, a paper sheet stuck to my face. I take it, seeing that it's a flyer for auditions... FOR THE MOON THEATER!!!! Either there is someone spying on me... or finally the wind is blowing in the right direction.. Okay. Maybe tonight didn't was the best of my life..but what if it was fate?

BUT.. THE AUDITION IS TOMORROW I HAVE TO HURRY!!

I hurry to take my friend house and, at the speed of light, I comeback home then I spend all night looking for the right song for tomorrow's audition and.. after evaluating about 1294 songs... yes.. exactly .. I opted for the usual, 'Grenade'. I realize it's 4 in the morning, I panic, and I immediately go to sleep, I have to collect these 5 hours of sleep or at least I'll try. I just hope I don't panic or shy on that...big, huge, stage...help. I noticed that Mr. Moon won't be there, this audition was launched by his nephew, Namjoon, I've seen him in the past, at the theater, a few times, but I've never spoken to him.. I hope he has inherited his uncle's dreamy and positive vibe. In my heart, I feel that something beautiful, really beautiful is about to happen.

Namjoon's pov

I wake up with the sound of uncle Buster's alarm clock, I set it at 6 so I would have 3 hours to organize everything better. With Miss Crawly we check the stage, the lights, the props, clean up the entrance and even uncle Eddie came to help us! I call him uncle, but he's practically uncle Buster's best friend and the nephew of the great Nana Noodleman, who financed the theater when the building completely collapsed. Full of anxiety, I run to the office to double-check the script and when the time comes, I see people approaching the entrance, leaflet in hand. I'm so excited but at the same time.. scared. A few minutes before the entrance opens, I decide to go through a sort of "secret passage": It is located in the part of the ceiling above the stage, uncle Buster always brought me here when I was little, other times I used to come here alone, to have a sort of "VIP seat" and better follow the show. My uncle, every time he has to start the shows, comes here, sits on the fake moon and then he slides down... what an entrance, right? I think I'll adopt it too, maybe it will become the signature of the Moon family hehe. I go down to the grandstand and as soon as 9.30 am I immediately ask Miss Crawly to open the doors. There are almost 200 people .. wow. I didn't expect to attract so much attention, but as I said before, my surname and the name of the theater helped me. However my goal is to create my own name, not to live in the shadow of uncle Buster and the Moon Theater.

I breathe a sigh of relief and welcome the candidates one by one.

'Hello creatures great and small, welcome to Moon Theater, I am Namjoon Moon and I am ready to show you new shades of the magic of this wonderful theater! And I want to do it... with your help!'

I tried to be as convincing as possible. Now let's start the auditions. Some performances were good but... not suitable for my show.. others were perfect: A couple who duet 'Shallow' by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper... wow what chemistry, what chemistry.. she has a sweet and strong voice, just like Lady Gaga's, incredible, he has a very low voice, very sensual...I like it; Another couple, he rapper and dancer accompanied by another girl, only dancer, on the notes of an unreleased song, 'more'...wow... they have a great complicity too. She literally seems to burn for him, I bet the whole theater, that those two aren't "just colleagues" as they said in their presentation, he has a bit hoarse voice, the perfect voice for a rapper, moreover, he manages to change his flow in a second, finally here we can talk about full-blown Rapper. Together, they'll set audiences on fire, I'm sure;

A guy, another rapper, brought his unreleased track called 'Daechwita'...HE RAPS BETTER THAN EMINEM. Wow wow wow I'm getting excited, another rapper with all the skills, who manages to insert a certain sensuality even in a song that has a completely different topic. And finally, three other boys, with different but beautiful voices, who respectively brought, An unpublished track, 'Abyss', this boy's voice is high, but not too much, sweet and ringing, 'Snowman' by Sia, the other's voice is almost feminine, but for me it's not an insult, on the contrary, I admire his voice, it manages to reach such high notes that it's enviable even by the best singer in the world..and 'falling' by Harry Styles, this boy has a particular voice, I don't know how to describe it, but he reminds me so much of Johnny, he's a born singer, you can see it in his face.

In the evening, I marked the names of those six boys and two girls in my diary. I have found some real talented people, however.. I feel that something is still missing.. I don't know.. 

As I'm about to close the entrance, I see a girl running towards me. "SORRY SORRY SORRY!! I WAS VERY LATE YOU MUST FORGIVE ME! Is there still time for another audition?" I can't tell her no, just because she could be the 'thing' that is missing in my show. 

Y/n's pov: 

Mr. Namjoon, oh my..calling him mr. seems a bit of an exaggeration since we probably have a few years difference between us, anyway, he was very kind to let me do the audition, just like I thought,  at the end, he is Buster Moon's nephew. This morning I didn't hear the alarm and I continued to sleep peacefully until 5 this afternoon.. I'm mortified.. it seems like fate wanted it to go this way. This feeling of being on a real stage is strange.. but at the same time I'm scared.. so scared 

'Whenever you want! Y/n! I'll start the base'

I can already hear the start of the song but I feel almost paralyzed.. 

'I-I..'

I can't even speak.. Namjoon shuts down the music, gets on stage, and approaches me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

'I know someone who started out like you, and now she's on tour and she's the best singer in my uncle's crew, I assume you know Meena, don't you?'

I nod. She is my idol .. and I didn't know that she was scared, like me, at the beginning... 

'My uncle encouraged her to sing by saying a line which souynds like his 'motto', "Don't let the fear stop you from doing what you love most." 

So now, even if you're a little scared, let it go away and sing, you will feel good.. then.. it's a love song, right? You will definitely have a boyfriend, so think about him, and let your feelings go free, they will sing with you.'

 Wow, Namjoon looks so much like his uncle in this aspect. I'll follow his advise. Although..I haven't a boyfriend.. but... I'll let myself go...let's get it!

Before starting to sing I turn my gaze to Namjoon, he has a beautiful smile on his face, which calms me down, he also has dimples, how cute~ I heard the base and.... Here I am, singing, without thinking about it, and, incredibly, during the chorus, the only person that comes to my mind is.... Namjoon.. Him? A boy that i just met few minutes ago? Crazy stuff... but... okay, I'm in the theater where anything is possible, so, it's okay.

" Yes, I would die for ya, baby But will you do the same?"

My head decided to change the lyrics, without my permission. I connect with the real world again and I see Namjoon and his secretary standing, clapping, I hear more applause coming from behind the scenes, where I see a group of people smile at me. 

'Well! Smile Y/n Y/s! Even your colleagues were amazed by your voice!' 

Colleagues? Does this mean...THEY GOT ME? AM I SERIOUSLY IN??!!!?!?!? I smile, beaming more than ever , also looking at my new colleagues. All thanks to Namjoon. I can't wait to work with him... ah and of course with the others too... 

Our leader, as it got late,sent us home, saying that rehearsals would start early the next morning, repeating us to not to be late.. I feel particularly involved, hearing that sentence.. As soon as we left the theater we decide to spend the evening, eating out to get to know each other better. Everyone is so nice. There are ten of us in Nam's crew, including him, who obviously is a rapper, although I haven't had the opportunity to hear him yet: There are Seokjin, Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin who have the role of singers, and I am among those , along with a certain girl whose nickname is Luv, she seems very nice and knows her stuff, she showed us a part of 'Blank space' by Taylor swift and I love her tone of voice. Furthermore Jungkook and Jimin are also dancers, Taehyung is a good dancer too, but Namjoon decided to give him only the role of singer. Then there's Yoongi, Hoseok and Angie, the other girl, who is, as I understood, Hoseok's girlfriend, or at least, they claim they're just colleagues, but in my opinion they're either hiding something from us, or they're together without even realizing it... Yoongi and Hoseok are rappers and the latter is also a dancer, together with Angie. We make quite a good gang. I haven't had such a nice evening in quite a while. I rushed to sleep, eagerly awaiting the morning. That morning which actually arrived right away. This time I woke up on time and immediately run to the theater where Hoseok, Angie, Taehyung and Luv are already waiting, the others are probably arriving. At 9 Namjoon and Miss Crawly welcome us into the theater and take us to the rehearsal room. There are different rooms to rehearse, one for dance, one for singing, one for rap and many others! I feel like I'm living a real dream! After we settle in, Namjoon makes us gather on stage and announces that first he would let us stage a provisional show and then he would reveal the real show with which we will really debut... such a mysterious boy.. The others are a little perplexed, but something tells me that I have to trust him, I'm sure he has something great in store for us! And he'll have his reasons for keeping it all from us, for now.

timelapse  

About 2 months have passed since then, we have bonded a lot among us  and Namjoon has also proved to be more present than expected, especially with me. We get on quite well together, to tell the truth, I think I'm falling in love with him.. but I feel that, for him, I'm just a person to admire.. it hurts, but that's okay.. maybe time will open Namjoon's eyes. For now, in his heart, there is only room for the show that he dreams to take on stage. The day of the provisional show arrives, obviously not public, but  the show will be attended by Miss crawly, Nana Noodleman and her nephew Eddie ... I admire Nana .. but ... that lady scares me a lot .. 

From behind the scenes, I see Namjoon, standing on the fake wooden moon, on which Mr. Buster always climbs for opening his shows. 

'All creatures great and small...' 

Namjoon's pov:

As I recite the opening of the show, I am very nervous. In these months, I haven't been able to say anything about the real show to my crew.. mostly because, I hate to admit it, but I'm scared abou that too . I'm scared of their opinion, that they might disagree.. here's what I didn't inherit from uncle Buster , his leadership.. his ability to keep the attention and the authority, while remaining the cute koala  he actually is, remaining professional.. he just convinced Ash to sing 'Call me maybe'!!! 

I'm afraid to show my songs to the public.. So, I put this show on the spot, to prove to the others, but mostly to myself, that I can do it. As soon as the presentation is over, the show begins.. I will have to perform last, with Y/n, I admire that girl a lot, she has a wonderful voice, and she is so kind, but when she wants, she can also be tough, I'll be honest . I noticed that we have many things in common, she also likes reading and walking in nature and above all she discovered her dream thanks to the Moon Theater too. I admit I've developed pretty strong feelings for her, but I have to take them apart, we're colleagues, we can't be anything else.

I just admire her. 

The show seems to go smooth as butter, I also included some of my unreleased stuff, like 'Jamais vu' that Hoseok, Jungkook and Seokjin will sing, 'Friends' that Jimin and Taehyung will sing, since they told me they've known each other since elementary school , for Yoongi , honestly, I gave him all the freedom he needs, he told me that his dream is to become a composer, so I decided to let him use another unpublished work of his, 'people'; For the girls, I gave them already famous songs. I don't know... there were some songs in which I saw them more, compared to my unreleased ones. For Luv I opted for Katy Perry's 'ET'; for Angie, I decided to make her dance on Shakira's 'Whenever, wherever'; For Y/n, I assigned her 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele, a sort of remix, in which i added a rap part written by myself. During my performance with Y/n...it was a bit tense but..everything seemed to be going well even if, I'll be honest, there's something wrong..I hope it's just my imagination. After the show, the boys ran, exhausted, behind the scenes. I'm about to reach them when I hear my name being called. I turn around and see Nana asking me to go over her.. I have a weird feeling.. 

Y/n's Pov: 

The show went pretty well. My fear didn't stop me, and that's very reassuring, although, I admit, taht during the duet with Namjoon, I thought about the fact that he probably doesn't prove the same things as mines... which spoiled the mood. I tried to keep everything hidden, but I'm afraid that I failed... who knows what Nana thinks of our chemstry, will she consider it up to Buster Moon's crew's? At one point, as soon as we see Miss Crawly take Nana to her limousine, we catch Namjoon join us behind the scenes, with a look.. a bit gloomy. 

'hey Nam!! Is everything okay?'

 Taehyung asks. 

'What happened?' 

asks Yoongi.

 'Did Nana say something bad?' 

Jungkook asks 

'Did Miss Crawly lost her eye again?' 

Angie's usual way to resolve the situation.. 

' guys, let him explain. Boss, what's going on?'

 Luv silences everyone, giving Namjoon space to speak. 

'Guys, I don't know if we can perform the show..' 

Namjoon lowers his head.. I don't understand.. 

'WHAT?!'

I shut my mouth, realizing I've screamed. 

'yeah.. Nana called me aside because she wanted to see the real show I had in mind. I showed her the storyline and everything and she said that the audience probably won't like it.. and I'm not cut out for this role.. I'm sorry guys.. I know I shouldn't listen to her.. She could definitely be wrong, but..' 

Namjoon can't finish the sentence, his voice shaking.. how I feel bad for him.. he can't give up.. not at the first difficulty. I see Nam rushing upstairs to his office, leaving us all speechless and confused. 

'Y/N, you should go..' 

I hear Seokjin's voice telling me to go to Namjoon. 

'Me?'

I answer even more confused. 

'It's evident that Namjoon gets along better with you, maybe you will be able to understand what happened and to convince him to don't give up' 

So...to the others' eyes Namjoon and i have a sort of connection... I hate seeing him like this, during the rehearsals he was full of positivity but at the same time quiter than his uncle. He has a dream and he can't let it go like this. All right. I'll go talk to him. I nod to the others and run upstairs. 

Namjoon's pov;

Nana's words occupy my head. 

Flashback

'I'm sorry Namjoon, but I think you're not cut out for that.. Theater is more, romantic, more, magical, it's not hip hop, or whatever.. I appreciate this little show you put on here, but you won't go far if you continue like this, I don't think this is what your uncle taught you.. Then you see that there is a sort of tension among you and your crew, you should have faith in them, so that they will have it in you. .' 

End Flashback

Those words reverberate in my head like a drum... I ran away from the guys too, they'll think I'm a loser, that they trusted the wrong person and indeed, now they're all probably already at home.. Nana said it, they don't trust me.. 

'Namjoon'

 A familiar voice takes me out of this hurricane of thoughts. 

'Y/n.. I thought you were back home..'

'I would never move from here, even if the building were collapsing again, like in the past..'

Y/n sits next to me. 

'Tell me what happened and what Nana exactly told you'

 Y/n always manages to calm me down, with her slightly low but sweet voice, for a few seconds, my thoughts disappear. So I decide to tell her everything... 

'But Nam!! You don't have to listen to her! Do you realize that you could bring about a revolution in the theater?? A bit like Goldoni did it with the Venetian theater!!!!'

'Y/n! Do you understand that... I.. I'M SCARED'

I almost yell at her without realizing it, I can feel something wet coming down my cheeks.. Am I crying? Really? Is Namjoon Moon seriously crying? Y/n puts a hand on my head, bringing it to her shoulder. 

'It's normal to be afraid, boss. But, as you told me that time, when I looked like a lost, scared animal, on that stage below, "don't let fear stop you from doing what you love most". If the show goes badly.. Never mind. We will try again! But think if it will go well, if you are successful, your dream will come true and... I will be happy to be part of it. And then.. there's a crazy chemistry among all of us, you've always been there, with Miss Crawly, together with us, supporting us like never before in these two months.. Do you remember when I didn't want to try that high note in Ariana Grande's 'Problem'? I was just trying it with you and we stayed until the next morning trying it. Or when Seokjin and Taehyung had a fight over that cup of ramen?...you rolled up your sleeves and made them reconcile, or when Hoseok thought he couldn't make that pas de deux with Angie because they'd never tried to dance on a slow song like 'in the name of love'? When, with a lot of patience, you taught Jungkook to play the piano, just because you wanted so much to make him sing 'I'm still standing'? You tested all of us. And we trusted you blindly. 

You understand it? We are here with you. And then there's one thing you have to give up..being liked by everyone. Remember that nothing and no one has ever succeeded in pleasing everyone. You may prefer some musical genres to others and you preferred the nine of us to other artists, during the audition, who will have been as good as me or Luv or Seokjin or Yoongi or others in the crew. It's Okay, Namjoon. We are doing something we love. Let's not care about the opinion of others, we are talking about dreams, something that goes far beyond a simple opinion of others. Look around.. This theater, this wonderland has always helped us. Even Mr. Buster, your uncle, has always been close to us, still during the tour. And then.. there's a phrase that Mr. Buster has always repeated loudly.. "When you hit rock bottom, do you know what the most beautiful thing is? It's that the only direction you can go is... up"..so Namjoon Moon, you are not like your uncle, and trust me, you are perfect just the way you are, and you are a fantastic leader, even if you don't notice it..my lead-em..our leader'

 Y/n is right, she is right in everything she said.. We are talking about dreams, not opinions.. I tested all the crew and they passed it.. now that I am put under the test.. I have almost failed. Yes... almost.. because now.. we're going up. Up to the moon. I have my crew, I have Y/n and there is also my uncle and the others supporting me...

I have decided. I have to put this show on stage and it's going to be AMAZING. I look at Y/n and smile at her. God how grateful I am to her.. what if I hadn't allowed her to audition?... where would I end up now? I don't know, nor do I want to know, from now on, one only looks straight ahead. I hug her tightly.  She doesn't hesitate to hug me back and, I feel like she's sobbing... she's crying too.. I feel a strange feeling in my heart.. but for now I can't give it weight. I smile at her and only after being reciprocated, I take her hand, that delicate little hand, and we immediately run downstairs. As I go down the stairs I see all the boys surprised, but I can feel a certain happiness in their eyes. Their gazes are spreading.. relief? I don't know, but this makes me relieved too. They are my first real best friends, almost my second family, even though we know each other from few months, I feel there was a reason why I chose them that day. In front of me, in front of us, I can already see a future brighter than the sun. There will be obstacles.. but hey, where's the fun otherwise? 

'Well guys, sorry for what happened earlier. I'm ready to tell you everything and above all, today.. I'll tell you know about the show that will take us to the top.'

 All my crew smiles at me, Nana has already made a mistake about this, there is something magical among us. After making the guys sit in the stands, I go on stage, starting to tell a sort of presentation on which I have been working on for the past 2 months: 

The show will be called "The most beautiful moment in life" And it will talk about the story of a group of friends, a boyband, which will be us 7, Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook and me, Namjoon. They will debut with a song "No more dream" and, after several songs, they will reach a point in their career, where, they will lose themselves and decide to think about their solo works, to find what they had lost, they will release a song as a " ""goodbye""": 'Yet to come'. During their solo projects, three of them will find their twin flame, Hoseok will find a fan, Angie, from another nation, younger than him, but a sort of harmony will born between them that will set everything on fire ...thanks to Angie, Tae will come introduced to Luv, a friend, who will become Tae's twin flame, even if Tae is initially uncertain about his feelings.

And then, there is Namjoon, who finds.. Y/n... with her, he will be able to find his way.. The group will come back fully united and, in the end, there will be the grand finale, where they will all sing together 'For youth', as a love song for their fans, because after all Hoseok and Tae have found love among them, stating that, they will continue to sing for a long, long time to come.' 

Before speaking again, I catch my breath, addressing my friends, my crew.. I explained everything... putting my soul into it, as if the show had come to life in my head while I was telling it.. I admit I didn't explain all like this to nana.. i'm very tense.. this is literally the show i've been working on for all my life, this is the business card of the most important dream of my life.. i'm afraid of what they might think, what the public will think, what uncle Buster will think.. I'm afraid to express my weak point, but fear won't stop me. I'll make my dream come true...or die trying. 

'so.. What do you guys think?'

 I say, in a surprisingly confident voice. After a few seconds, I hear a clap. I look closely at the origin of the sound and I see her, Y/N.. I can see her hands becoming red from clapping so much and observing her closely.. she has tears in her eyes... 

Y/n's pov: 

I can't help but applause, Namjoon only showed us an outline of the show.. yet here I am, with red hands, still clapping and with tears in my eyes.. I think I understood what "reduced" me like this: The feeling with which Namjoon laid out these four lines of plot. His eyes sparkled, as if he were showing his greatest treasure. He brought it all out... and I feel so lucky to be one of the first people he did that to. 

'READY TO SOLD OUT AROUND THE GLOBE MR JOON?'

 I scream without even thinking about it, and soon after, I see Namjoon with tears in his eyes, for the second time today, but those are different tears, he is happy. I turn to the others and they are moved too, intent on applauding and rooting for our leader. I can't wait to start rehearsals for this masterpiece...and to be honest, I'm really happy to be Namjoon's twin flame, at least in this show, the most important project of his life? WHY DID HE CHOOSE ME? Aish.. I don't know, but... I love him, I love him to death. Now I'm starting to really understand what Bruno wanted to say through "Greande". 

Timelapse

Another 4 months have passed since then. We've been working hard every single day, and the debut of 'The most beautiful moment in life' is in two days. There's a lot of anxiety in the air, you can almost touch it, but at the same time, we're all excited. The general rehearsal started yesterday. In the end we decided to insert a choreography for all the songs of the "bangtan boys", the name of the boyband, so Namjoon, Seokjin and Yoongi went started dance lessons, the choreographer of the Mr. Moon's crew also helped us, Nooshy, although she could help just a little, since she is on tour with his crew, but with several video calls we managed to compensate. Then we have some ACEs here, Angie and Hoseok, who, personally... are scary when they have to play dance teachers.. Luv and I are saved, we will also have some steps in our duets, but nothing too difficult. Speaking of Mr. Buster, as soon as we told him the date of the premiere, he immediately moved the date of his show to that evening, in order to be free to see his nephew's debut. I'm so euphoric I can't stand still aaah. Ah and about the relationship between me and Namjoon? Well... nothing new, we just seem like best friends, and I don't have the slightest intention of confess my feelings.. just being with him is enough for me, so I've kept my feelings a little apart, at least for now. 

'Anxious?'

Angie interrupts my thoughts. 

'Well.. you don't?'

 I add, laughing. 

'Okay okay you're right Y/n. And.. tell me... there are rumors that you will confess to Namjoon during your duet, I hope they are true!! Now Miss Crawly too ships you two!!'

Angie comes up to me giving me a little nudge and a mischievous smile.. BUT WHO HAS SPILLED THIS RUMOR?

'Are you kidding?????? But I would never think of confess to him in that situation!! Whoever put up this voice got screwed up.'

I reply, but I already know I'm blushing, Angie's giggle is proving me that. 

'Mh okay... but what if it will be Namjoon who will confess his feelings for you, instead? What would you do then?' ...actually I had never analyzed this option.. But... naaah 

'Don't worry too much, it won't happen, Namjoon only feels admiration for me, at least that's how he made me understand..'

 I say with a slightly despondent voice, lowering my head . 

'And let me understand.. do you think two lovers can't feel admiration for each other? In my opinion, loving someone also means being a fan of your loved one, I could be wrong.. but my instinct tells me that I'm more right than you think hehe'

 Angie winks at me, then goes back to practice.. she's not entirely wrong .. maybe it's my greatest wish, to be Namjoon's lover.. who knows... 

'Y/n!!! We have to try 'Love'!! Run!!!'

 You speak of the devil... here he is calling me haha I better go.. 

' I'm Coming.. Nam!!!!' 

Timelapse 

Namjoon's pov: 

It's the day of the show and to my immense surprise.. we did a sold out... There is not a single empty seat out there.. And there are also journalists, critics.. All here for my show... 

'So.. guys! Come here'

We'll all get in a circle. 

'It's the big day... let's go out there... and show them who we are.'

 'YES!'

They all answer in chorus.. my gaze obviously goes to Y/n, you can see she's as anxious as I am, but I know what she's thinking: "Let's do it", so let's really do it. Through the usual path, I hold on to the fake moon and signal to uncle Eddie to start the special effects.. Let the show begin.. 

'Creatures great and small!!!! It is a pleasure tonight, having you here with us, Today.. you will be witnesses, of a revolution. Today... I'm going to tell you a story... which... starts like this...'

 Author's pov: 

With the lights off, 'The most beautiful moment" in life begins: 7 guys, who have already reached their twenty years old, who still can be considered teenagers. All brought together by their passion for music, but there is also something else that unites them, the question ... "What is my dream?" What's your dream?...' 

You can already hear the voices of the journalists, the audience taken by that hip hop rhythm, by the coordinated steps, by the voices of those seven guys.. that no one would have ever imagined seeing climbing the highest peaks of the world. And if you don't believe me.. keep watching, how mankind itself has evolved over the centuries, how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly... these guys have changed, passing from the hip hop of 'No more dream', 'We are bulletproof', 'N.O', 'Boy in luv', 'Danger'; To the sweetest and most melancholic notes of 'I need u' and 'Run'; To the energy of 'Fire' and 'not today'; To the sensuality of 'Blood, sweat and tears ';

To the fairy love of 'DNA' and the strength of 'Mic Drop', the unhappy love of 'Fake love', the redemption of 'Idol'; To the genuine love of 'Boy with luv'; To the poetics of 'On' and 'Black swan'; To the sweetness of 'Life goes on'; Up to the freshness of the singles 'Dynamite', 'Butter' and 'Permission to Dance'; And then? And then... here they are... When you are in a group.. sometimes you can lose yourself.. so. The seven stars have decided to put an end to the first chapter of their career with 'Yet to come'..

 'You and I, the best moment is yet to come..'

 And start a second one.. From which...they will come out many surprises. The dancer, the bearer of hope, met a fan of his, spoke a different language than his, or so it seemed, and had two hopeful green eyes.. he didn't necessarily need her, yet his eyes saw her not as a fan , but something more.. She had kindled a flame in him.. it was up to him whether to put it out or feed it... 

'Equality is you and me..'

If the flame of love burned on one side, the one of doubt was next to it, a singer, with a voice so low, almost chilling, who fortunately, or unfortunately, found himself together with his dancer friend, when the fateful encounter took place, the green-eyed girl had a friend with her, with sea-colored eyes, in which the singer was almost shipwrecked .. It almost seemed like a dream .. but the boy with the frozen voice could not give in, perhaps out of fear, out of cowardice, out of disbelief, he wanted to let her go but ... 

'Never mind, I' I'll find Someone like you..'

No one would ever be like her.. so the boy relented. And he did not regret it. Three boys find their Beatrice. 

Well, I'm about to tell you about the Third, perhaps the one who least expected a gift like this from life. The rapper, the leader, walking down that country road, starts humming an almost improvised song, but his singing gets a response. Another girl there, humming with him, for him. in love they could try each other.. But... there was something.. he still didn't know, that love that was blossoming in him, for that girl, who sang with him.. 

'Is this love, yeah Is this love, yeah Sometimes I know, yeah Sometimes I don't, yeah'

Namjoon's pov: 

Wait... I have Y/n right here in front of me... I wrote this script before I even knew her.. I .. I've done everything without thinking about it until now... now that my mind is free.. now that all this is about to end.. I have her in front of me, this woman, the woman who has never stopped supporting me , to stand by me.. the woman who.. without realizing it... I seriously loved and that I'm loving even more, now that I'm aware of it. Fuck the royalties, admiration and all... I love her.. 

Y/n's pov:

I hear the music finish... I sang with Namjoon for the umpteenth time, yet today was different- I feel.. something soft on my... lips... wait... N-Namjoon? Is Namjoon kissing me? Yes... he's doing it.. and I'm kissing him back?... My body no longer responds to my mind.. I feel like I'm lost in a limbo, as if time has stopped... it's such a beautiful feeling...Did he do it for the scene? We've never talked about kissing...was it out of enthusiasm? Possible... but... I feel something special, as if with these kisses he is trying to tell me something.. When the curtain is about to cover us, I can clearly see an "I love you", mimicked from Namjoon... I smile at him miming "me too". We don't have enough time to talk.. We have to sing 'For Youth'... Throughout the song we kept exchanging glances and smiling at each other... I don't know what happened to him.. but I'm glad he opened his eyes. I am happy that this wish of mine has been fulfilled. But...wait! Did that crackhead Angie know something? Who knows... she's Cupid's descendant there... apparently. After the show, I thought too much on me and Namjoon, when I realize that, in front of my eyes, in our... eyes, there is the loudest audience: Who applauds, who cries, who laughs, who smiles, who screams... And... there's also Mr. Buster and his crew in the audience.. Nana, all the critics, my family... They're all there.. To frame this magical moment.

My gaze can only go towards the others, all moved, and on Namjoon, my Namjoon, on his knees, moved more than all. 

Namjoon's pov:

 There was my uncle there in front of me, my idol, the others, the delirious audience, Nana winking at me, that sheep, she had done it on purpose to tell me those things.. 

' YOU WERE GREAT MY NEPHEW!!'

uncle's screams could only increase that idyllic feeling I was already feeling, my gaze then falls on Y/n, who already was looking at me, smiling, that wonderful smile... We stood there applauding for more than 10 minutes to then go backstage and of course the first thing I did was hug my sweet Y/n. 

'You did it' 

She says smiling even more. I dry her tears. 

'We did it together, all of us' 

I add, before giving her a kiss. 

'GROUP HUG' 

I hear Jungkook's screams and then everyone else all over me and Y/n. Miss Crawly was there too!!! And then... I see my uncle coming towards me, smiling like never before. 

'I'm so proud of you, Namjoon'

 I smile at him.. 

'It's all thanks to you, uncle, and...to my crew' 

I hug Uncle Buster, a little harder than other times. Then I see some dudes coming towards me. 

'These gentlemens want to offer you a contract... my dear nephew, apparently this is just the beginning.. this show will remain on everyone's lips for a loooong time' 

I turn abruptly towards the others, we all look at each other with wide eyes.. 

'So what? Are we going to climb this peak?' 

'OBVIOUS' 

they yell in chorus, my guys. Y/n runs again to hug me.. 

Alright, I was right.. something beautiful, really beautiful.... it really happened.. But.. The most beautiful moment.. is yet to come.

Thoughts on the 3rd ep of Hypmic Rhyme Anima+. Spoilers beware

Season 1 | Ep.1 | Ep.2 |

i love how its samatoki who tsks when ichiro talks, they never stop and i love it fuugen looking dude still has a great design love the fact that they kept the Ramuda is scared of ghosts plotline ww TBH is a silly name DJ or not, but it does tie in some ARB lore eyyy joint mission! does that mean that nagoya and oosaka will be enemies? might be and interesting naughty busters and MCD interactions OFC theres gonna be some good good ichiro/kuko and samatoki/sasara KUKOOO I LOVE YOU the kinshachi! love those little dudes, they're tiger-headed dolphins lol JYUSHIIII you chuuni dork i love your flowery wordss Mr. Kuko wwwwwwww nooo amandaaaa so ripped up oh more visual kei!! i am so happyyy www this villain is so silly i love silly villains. how unfortunate that they'll be plot slaves but they genuinely had something fun going on awww look a kuko being silly and amagani being a silly lawyer LETS GOOO JAKUHITOOO eyyyyy lets go grandmaaaa the MVP of repairing Ichikuko relationship lets gooo naughty butters!!!!! i love themmmm were they also a influence ichiro to get onto the right track? thats sweet ofc they had to tie in different characters together still love that sun shadowing them the moment they talk about the villains the squeakkkkkkkkkkk amanda thats so cuuteeeeee awww no magical girl transformation? rip -

Damn the imagery on this MV goes super hard i love the non-traditional stuff you'll find scattered around at a glance the ones i spot are: buhddist funeral rites with from, what i can count 39 candles which can mean thank you… those funeral flowers look like white chrysanthemums (grief, honesty, truth which the later two may be nods to the fact that they're not in their right minds), pink, and purple carnations which symbolize capaciousness and unpredictability Kuko also references gokurakujoudo which is the most well known higher buddhist celestial land known as the land of bliss so basically he's saying that he's so hot shit that he'll reincarnate into the holiest of holy lands Ragnarok is the end of the known gods according to nordic mythology aside from like. two gods and two humans which means either Jyushi is a ghost as shown in the scene or he's just that cool and survived Kuko's second verse is a reference to old paintings that depicted monks training their spiritual disciplines by mountainsides. if you're an old soul like me, think Libra Dohko's Mnt. Roshi Hitoya's second rap scene is mimicking an egyptian depiction of a weighing of the heart, specifically it seems to be parodying the scene found in the Papyrus of Hunefer. interestingly, the three opponents are on the side in which the feather of maat is commonly depicted on, the thing which the heart is weighed against while Amanda is the heart Hitoya and Kuko's spots on the papyrus is where anubis would be, setting them as the judges who preside over this battle. Jyushi is also sitting where Ammit, the devour of the dead, would be depicted sitting. Ammit is also a goddess, which is fun Given the red moon behind him, Jyushi also plays at a fallen angel The chorus' first scene is another very famous generic buhdist scene. while i don't think it references anything specifically, the three sitting on lotus flowers and the bodhi tree's in the back implies that they are buddah. like no joke, they are actually buddha don't know if this is actually a reference, but the red hell-like place that the three find themselves in might be Sañjīva, one of the buddhist naraka's where those who are reincarnated there are born fully grown and are attacked by other people and monsters return of the kinshachi! kaleidoscopic imagery which is also heavily associated with buddhist imagery That ending is a reference to the spider's thread by ryunosuke akutaguwa! you might remember it if you've played Danganronpa V3 but its a story about a man trying to escape from hell from a spider thread but ultimately falls back into hell because of his greed - that Obaaachannnn is so cute. and the bait and switch was so silly Kuko as always is just the absolute star of the show even if the spotlight isn't on him Huh???? Are Doppo and Hifumi okay???? Please??? you can't just cliffhang that???? how dareeee

Badass Temple endingg lets gooooo Kuko verson is so cute!!! that illust tooo Jyushi is just so stylish and silly, treading that fine line. also is that just water in his champagne glass www this is such a fun ending version i love it. Its just a lot warmer and more comforting in my opinion, super sweet and heartwarming. a lot more electric guitar as well

I'm so glad for their first feature episode I really enjoyed BAT! The song was such a banger and the imagery along with it so evocative. I really liked the episode how it brought everyone together for a chaotic jaunt. I hope next week with dotsuhompo will be just as silly

The potential future direction of this blog

I've been thinking about this for a wee bit. Not sure if I'll do it, but... I might start to have my blog be more story focused rather than just straight up dashboard commentary/interaction focused.

I've had a main goal set for my blog ever since I found out I've got a set of characters in mind and that is to create a story for them and so far it feels less of a blog with a story and moreso a blog with muses that have backstories set and moreso a blog that has muses with backstories, but they're not doing much in the setting that I've made them in.

It is why I did these arcs here and there-- the Vocaloid timeline, the Shining Heart Angelic Buster arc-- hell, even the drabbles like the Maplestory drabble and such.

I kind of tried it with Hana's story, but I think I've only did one or two chapters/drabbles. Honestly I should stop calling drabbles chapters cause those are like lil bits of stories that could fit multiples like it in a single chapter y'know? But that's beside the point.

I should honestly focus more on the story. I've seen so, SO many of you write stories of your muses and it is amazing to see the creativity, the settings and such. And then there's me, who barely did anything with it.

This won't mean that I won't be roleplaying anymore-- no, far from it. It's moreso a way for me to roleplay my muses more in the setting that my blog originally is going for. But it will take some time and effort for me that I haven't been giving for a while now-- time and effort that I hope I have the energy for to put towards it. I think if I do that, that maybe not only will I have a bit more energy to do threads again, but I can also have more consistent interactions using my lesser used muses.

If I AM going to take this route, I know Hanaka will be the start of that story. She's been the start of the old blog all the way back when the blog was called lets-go-nanoko and I'd like Hanaka to be that start too.

Now, I will say this: what will be affected if I will go that route?

First off, the amount of muses on this blog. I've always wanted my muse list to reflect the muses that are part of the story. It's why Maroon and Hanaka are always on this list. Actually, Maroon, Hanaka, Akari and Naona were the first 4 who were on this blog. Maroon had mostly been hogging the spotlight when it came to my OCs. At first I thought I was mostly using him cause I have more icons of him than any of my other muses, but ever since I given him a new frame and I tried to stick to those set amount of frames, as well as the same for Hanaka, I've realized that I've been so, SO comfortable using Maroon over any of my OCs, even Hanaka.

Does this mean I will be removing him? Not really-- but I will try to roleplay him less and focus more on other OCs.

As for non OCs/canon-divergent muses? That's to be decided upon. When it comes to my Maplestory muses if I really feel like it I might move them over to my archived Maplestory blog again. I have a separate blog for Tear if I wanted to tackle that part, but who knows.

But as for my other canon divergent muses-- or at least ones with the dimensionals verse, that's something I need to consider, though depending on their roles I might remove them from the blog (temporarily) (again).

The kind of muses I might remove are those who are:

not playing a drastic role on the story

ones who I second guess or doubt keeping them in

guest muses and or NPCs

those who I don't roleplay much to begin with

So that means that Hibiki, Tracer, Kiana and Sonic are going to be removed from the blog, as well as most of the gods and villain in the list. Considering that too, there's a likelihood that a good amount of elves in Lilium-- Milena included and everyone in dialtime city might also be removed. Vivian, Iris, Elsword and Aisha might also be removed. The dragon tribe will also be removed and yes-- even some of the muses from Lawain City are going to be removed too.

So yes, that will be a drastic cut of the muses in my blog and it's something that I need to consider.

Do note that I will make a poll about this. It's a decision that while it is something that I have the final say about it, I also want your guys' opinions.

I will make 2 polls actually. One for the whole muse list cutting this and one for the general direction of the blog. I'll probably make a post(s) about these in the next few hours.

HELLO NEW ME! | CORRUPT VERSE

Tear has lived her life as a cursed child for years, shunned by her peers, with only a few exceptions like Kyle and Velderoth accepting her and become her friend. While her friends were one reason why she didn't give up living, god does the desire to end it or start a double life stay ever so high and it did not diminish.

The story follows mostly how it usually goes, with the real change starting at the infirmary, where Tear just flat out accepted the contract without any hesitation, not thinking about the potential side effects of being contracted to become a magical girl. She was genuinely enjoying the magical girl life and even enjoying the new found fame using her new found singing voice to become an idol like Eskalade wanted. However, what will happen to her in the coming months, years even will forever change her life.

With each time she's using the relic to become Angelic Buster, the relic started to affect her normal self, causing her to gradually become more like her Angelic Buster persona, both in terms of appearance and in terms of personality irreversibly to increase how effective she is with the relic.

The moment her friends started to notice the changes, with concern of her wellbeing in mind, they asked if she feels different from what she used to be.

"Me? Being...Different then before? I look like this all the time, right so what’s the issue?"

The worst thing started to happen to her. What she remembers from her past self slowly has started to dwindle from her mind as well, like such thoughts never were there to begin with, or so it appears. She kept using her new found powers, unknowingly losing more and more what made her the Tear they once knew. The two started to be more distant from her the more her normal form started to resemble Angelic Buster.

A year or two passed once more, the girl Tear, who they were friends with had only a few things left of her past self. Memories of how she looked like before she even became Angelic Buster? Gone. How she got her powers that made her become Angelic Buster? changed to make her think she had such power from the very begining. All that she had of her past were only memories of her friends and her name as her only memories of when she was Tear. Though by then the two boys didn't talk to her ever again.

Day by day, Tear was wondering once where they both are, in a way concerned about her bonds she has-- or had with them, but she couldn't find them. With her not being able to find them anymore, she was in a way alone, with the only company being Eskalade, the one who has contracted her in the first place. So once she realized that she can't find them anymore one thought came to mind.

"They're...Not interested in seeing me again, are they..?"

Looking at her soul shooter, she started to get massive headaches from trying to think what has caused them to leave her. However, all memories except of her knowing that they're her friends are all but either gone or foggy, leaving her with headaches every time she's trying to consciously remember them.

If it was Tear, she would be very sad to even wanting to never do anything with her angelic buster persona and try and find ways to fix this issue. However, the person who's looking at her soul shooter no longer was the same Tear that they knew and care so much for. This person was Tear - The Angelic Buster and she was annoyed that they left her. With her being annoyed that they've left her, she's was thinking.

"...If they want to forget about me, then fine-- I'll forget about them too! Esky, let's leave that memory behind us and forget about them! Just forget every moment I have with them!! Hell, if they miss Tear so much, I’ll forget my own name too!!!"

She aimed her soul shooter to the sky, using every memory of them as fuel for this one big star bubble. Once it was shot in the air and burst like fireworks above the clouds, a sigh escaped from her, before the new Tear-- no, the new person who called herself Angelic Buster started to smile as those memories were removed from her entirely.

"It is done.. Welcome, new me!"

This specific picture of Ewan McGregor as Balgruuf, Alexander Skarsgård as Korir, and Robby Benson as Igmund

Also here's some context for these actors in case you think you know them so you don't have to look them up lol

Ralph Ineson is best known for his role in The Witch (2015), he played the dad (he was also in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs which is really good and you should go watch it on netflix)

Siobhan Fallon Hogan played Stanley's mom in Holes (2003) and Fred's mom in Fred The Movie (2010). She was also in Men In Black (1997), The House That Jack Built (2018), and was in a few episodes of SNL in the 90s

Lily Tomlin has been in fucking everything. She voiced Aunt May in Into The Spider-Verse (2018), she was in 9 to 5 (1980) with Dolly Parton, she is Frankie of Grace and Frankie (2015-2022), but you most likely know her as the voice of Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus (1994-1997)!

Crispin Glover was in American Gods (2017-2021), We Have Always Lived In The Castle (2018), and was the Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland (2010)

Mia Wasikowska was also in Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland as Alice, she was also in Crimson Peak (2015)

Graham McTavish was Dwalin in The Hobit film series and voiced Dracula in Castlevania (2017-2021)

You know who Ewan McGregor is. He's Obi-Wan Kenobi. Easily the most famous actor I've chosen.

Alexander Skarsgård was in The Legend of Tarzan (2016), True Blood (2008-2014), Succession (2021-2023), and The Northman (2022)

And Robby Benson is best known as the Voice of Beast in Beauty and the Beast (1997) (and every subsequent Disney property to feature the character)

@burningxdaylight @micamone since y'all seemed to like these here's the rest

I started fan casting the different Jarls while I was dissociating in church today, what are y'all up to?

[arikos-of-caelid]

(Continued from this post @vaeltan-louxser)

The first order of business: scouting from afar. Arikos withdrew a telescope from his pack as him and Vaeltan walked along the northern Caelid crags, footsteps occasionally squelching in the unsettling scarlet fungus. Peering into it, the tower came closer into view.

"Hmm...Good and bad news. Looks like it's suffered some considerable decay. However, some of the overgrown roots might help get around that, and...looks like there are some ladders? And some Redmane soldiers standing guard." He then put the telescope away again. "...Looks like the soft cotton and rainbow stones were a good call."

[vaeltan-louxser]

Continued from here @arikos-of-caelid

---

There's something profound to be said about the usefulness of rope, Vaeltan thought.

In his experience, it was often overlooked, discarded, or left out of any reasonable wanderer’s packs in favor of other items.

He was among these rope-forgetters, embarrassingly enough.

Thankfully, the Redmanes stationed on Caelid tower hadn’t forgotten their ropes, tossing them down after Vaeltan had signaled them.

He held fast to a well-woven length of it with his right hand, his left hand - the one twisted by overuse of Communion incantations into a malformed claw - wrapped in two or three rounds of the same.

It wasn’t the easiest ascent thanks to the recent rain, but the rope was a blessing, especially when the rain began again.

He looked over to Arikos, several feet to the left and several more above, and called out over the wind;

“How’re you faring over there?”

[autisticsupervillain]

Alright, time to make my argument.

Vriska at her absolute strongest would beat Vegeta at his absolute strongest.

Assuming that comment didn't immediately make the entire Dragon Ball fandom unite to obliterate me, let me explain.

For context, the scope of this analysis will specifically include the Ancestral Awakening form for Vriska and Super Saiyan Blue form for Vegeta, specifically within the anime because that's the continuity I'm most familiar with.

Now let's begin:

Attack Potency and Durability

Determining how strong these characters are will rely heavily on powerscaling, however I believe both fall quiet easily under the Universe Buster bracket.

In Vegeta's corner, he, in his Blue form, has proven to be comparable to Goku's Blue form. This is the same Blue form that was able to compete with Jiren as he was beginning to demonstrate his true power. Jiren is a being who was quoted as being at and above the levels of the Gods of Destruction, beings with repeated statements and feats that show they can destroy entire universes, with a fight between two GODs even potentially destroying two entire universes.

Vriska, meanwhile, fought against Bec Noir for an extended period of time. Bec Noir is the result of Becquerel being Prototyped to (basically fused with) Jack Noir, adding Bec's power to Jack's. This is important because Bec is a First Guardian. First Guardian's have been shown to be able to tank two universes colliding into and destroying each other, as Doc Scratch's corpse was at the epicenter of such an event and survived without a mark save his pre-existing wounds. Bec scales to this by virtue of drawing from the same power source Scratch does, the Green Sun, suggesting that the two should be at the same level power. As such, Bec Noir scales above this by virtue of being Jack and Bec's power combined, which Vriska in her Ancestral Awakening form would directly scale to, as she fought evenly with and hurt him.

It's worth noting that both combatants would scale backwards from these feats, as Goku still needed to use Perfect Ultra Instinct to fully best Jiren and Vriska was eventually killed by Bec, but the two would still nonetheless be in the same ball park, being around the same level as gods in their verse who can tank/cause the destruction of two universes.

However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention an alleged statement which may put Vriska even higher. Apparently, there's a statement somewhere in Act 6 which claims that universes in Homestuck contain infinite timelines within themselves. This means that Homestuck universes would be infinite multiverses by most definitions. If this is true, then Vriska would stomp Vegeta by a magnitude of Infinity. Hell, she'd stomp even Zeno with that level of power, as nothing in Super even comes close. However, I haven't found any scans indicating this quote exists and I'll be fucked if I'm going to reread all of Homestuck just to find it. VS Battles Wiki claims it exists so you can ask them. Until then, I'm not counting it. Vriska is Universe Level.

Speed

Alright, first thing's first, Jade's statement. Jade claims that nothing can move faster than light, not even God-Tiers. This is, in a word, bullshit. Not only do we see characters casually fly between planets (something that would be impossible if they didn't move at lightspeed, if not near it.) but the explanation for that limit doesn't even make sense in universe. Jade says that things can't move faster than light because of "basic physics". This is the same kid who shrank the Earth down to size of her palm a few panels back. Saying "physics" is the reason why characters can't go a certain speed is to imply physics applies to any of this. Hell, this is the universe where everyone charries around a hammerspace inventory. So, no, quote ignored.

Now, with that out of the way, both of these characters are laughably faster than light. Anyways, Goku and Beerus created a blast that was going to engulf the whole universe in mere moments. Vriska, meanwhile, scales to the Beta Session's Black King, who was able to react to meteors called by Sollux which were being pulled from the Furthest Ring outside the universe to the battlefield in mere seconds. Vriska was in her base God-Tier form at the time, so her Ancestral Awakening form should be faster. Eitherway, the feats are comparable, but I'm no mathematician.

Do note, I'm once again being leniant on Vegeta here to avoid a stomp. Bec Noir is capable of moving around in the Furthest Ring, an area where space and time are non-linear, without issue, making his speed impossible to mathematically measure. Vriska would scale. I'm only exluding it because immeasurable speed feats are weird and I wouldn't be suprised if not everyone accepts the logic behind it, simply calling it "unquantifiable" and such, which is fair.

Skill and Mindset

Vegeta is one of the most skilled characters in Dragon Ball and I don't really need to explain why. This guy is a proud Saiyan warrior and grew up in their bloodthirsty culture with the expectation of going on to conquer worlds. He's Goku's most persistent rival and will always find a way to match him no matter how strong he gets and what techniques he learns. Keep in mind, Goku has been defeating martial arts masters since he was a child and he's skilled enough to copy any martial art technique after seeing it in action only once. And yet, Vegeta's techniques and skills left Goku awestruck when they first fought and they've been fierce competitors ever sense.

Combine that with a ruthless mindset that'll do whatever it takes to win and you have a seriously tough package. While not as ruthless as he once was, Vegeta is still an intelligent and underhanded fighter. Hell, his biggest problem is that he can't stop thinking in combat. He's sneaky enough to outfox Frieza's forces and clever enough to bluff Gero into fleeing. If he sees even the slightest weakness in his opponent, he'll exploit it, physically or mentally.

And in Vriska's corner? Well, she's from a similarly bloodthirsty race, to the point where trolls are expected to fight each other and overcome harsh trials from literally the very second they are born. Alternia is a place where you have to earn the right to even have parents and a childhood or die trying. Like Vegeta, Vriska became dreaded even by the standards of her race. Her Lusus (giant animal who raised her. All trolls have them.) forced her to go out and kill her fellow trolls in order to feed it, forcing her to become a ruthlessly efficient serial killer on a planet absolutely full of them lest she be eaten herself.

Moreover, Alternia was made intentionally brutal and horrific thanks to centuries of manipulations by the omniscient Doc Scratch, for the purpose of preparing Vriska and her friends for SGRUB.

SGRUB was a video game which, when played, would bring about the end of the universe, putting it's players through various grueling challenges in order to turn them i to gods who can rule over the new universe. It is openly acknowledged that most of these sessions end in failure, with all players being wiped out by the forces of Derse.

Derse is a kingdom which has been at war with its rival, Prospit, for eons, ever sense it came into existence in fact. Not only were Vriska and co able to meet these challenges and defeat the kingdom of Derse, Vriska herself is noted to have done the most side questing out of all of them, gleefully throwing herself into as many fights as she could. This alone is impressive, given the scope of her competition, but there's more.

Vriska is one of few players to have successfully defeated her Denizen in straight up combat. Denizens are impossibly powerful, even by the standards of numerous gods in the setting. The entire purpose of them is to provide an enemy too powerful, intelligent, and skilled for the Players to beat head on, forcing the Players to instead grow as people before allowing themselves to be killed. Rather than do that, Vriska knuckled down and killed her denizen, choosing to win an impossible fight rather than confront her own character flaws.

And that last sentence sums up her biggest issue. While I think she's skilled enough to contend with Vegeta, she's going to think she's a lot smarter and more intelligent than she is going in. While she's just as ruthless and underhanded as Vegeta, even moreso in fact, do to her continued willingness to throw innocent lives away, her ego is even bigger than his used to be and Vegeta's gonna catch on to that in an instant.

Skill wise? Yeah, they're comparable. Comparable enough to not make things a skill stomp, even if I'd still give things to Vegeta if push came to shove. The difference between them as tacticians, however, is much bigger. Vegeta thinks through nearly every move he makes in combat to a fault and gloating sadistic egotists like Vriska are dime a dozen in Dragon Ball.

Powers

And, here it is, the category that ultimately breaks this fight for Vegeta and makes this encounter Vriska's game.

Firstly, Vegeta has all the basic key abilities abd techniques you should come to expect from Dragon Ball. Ki blasts, ki shields, ki sensing, the whole kit. Ki sensing in particular would allow him to keep track of Vriska in a way she can't, while blasts give him plenty of range options, from beams to explosions. The full variety of what Vegeta can do with Ki, coupled with his years of experience, makes him a dangerous combatant. Of further note, his god ki itself also cannot be sensed by anything that isn't a god. Not that that matters as Vriska can't sense ki to begin with.

Secondly, his Saiyan biology grants him a significant boon, letting him get stronger every time he almost dies. This ability has allowed him to adapt to numerous incredible conditions, such as extreme cold and enhanced gravity, up to 450x Earth's normal gravity in fact. Moreover, he gets stronger every time he fights and can channel his anger to get stronger even still.

And, of course, there's flight, ensuring that the Saiyan prince can reach you almost anywhere.

Furthermore, these advantages are almost doubled by his Super Saiyan Blue Evolution. This form, should Vegeta manage to achieve it, pushes Vegeta even further past his limits, to the point of granting him limited healing and the ability to resist being erased from existance entirely on top of making him stronger than he already was.

And of course, if all else fails, his Final Explosion technique ensures that he'll at least take his opponent down with him. When uses in conjunction with his Evolution form, this technique can even defeat beings who are equal to Gods of Destruction.

And, of course, all of this is backed up by a will power that allows him to overcome mind control.

All and all in impressive kit, until you see what abilities Vriska is packing.

Starting with shared abilities, Vriska can also fly and had enhanced senses, albiet hers are a bit different. Rather than sensing ki, Vriska can stead see in conditions that are pitch bkack from a human perspective. Sadly, not as effective as her counterpart's senses in this situation. Futhermore, she posses her own way of getting stronger as she fights. Everyone in Homestuck has an Echeladder. Basically a leveling up system what increases the players stats, not only with every fight, but also with every random activity. One day, sinply opening the fridge can make one level up.

Similarly, everyone in Homestuck also has a Specibus. Essentially a video game hammerspace inventory.

But, the first of her unique abilites is her supernatural luck. See, as a Thief of Light, she actively steals luck and fortune from her foes, making herself more lucky and her opponent less lucky as the fight goes on. She channels this fourtune into her dice rolls, which she uses to unleash a variety of effects upon her foes, such as creating a giant guillotine to behead them with.

This is futher complicated by a boon of her godhood, her conditional immortality. See, unless her death is considered Heroic or Just, she won't stay dead. This means that it's unlikely for her to stay dead in this random encounter unless she does something truly evil or truly heroic over the course of the fight.

And then there's her most deadly ability... mind control. Worse yet, mind control with the potency to bypass Vegeta's resistance. Allow me to explain. Once, Vriska needed an army of ghosts and gods to throw at the big bad Lord English. To this end, she mind controlled a few thousand ghosts to throw at the problem. Most of those ghosts were trolls. Trolls have varying levels of resistance to mind control and various other mental powers, depending on their place in the hemospectrum, ranging from rusts having no resistance to tyrians being completely immune. And Vriska was controlling thousands of these trolls from all across the hemospectrum effortlessly, regardless of their level of resistance. That is much higher degree of mental manipulation than anything Vegeta has shrugged off.

And that brings me to my verdict....

Verdict

Vegeta undoubtedly has his advantages and win conditions. He's arguably more skilled and his superior tactical mind set would leave Vriska eating out of the palm of his hand. These characters love to talk and that would allow Vegeta to quickly figure out that Vriska is just as egotistical as he once was. Experience against similarly cocky characters would tell him what buttons to push and, as predicted, Vriska would quickly get frustrated.

Problem is, Vriska cheats when she gets frustrated. Gimmicky things are things Vegeta can handle. Hammerspace is something he can adapt to, becoming more cautious for fear of what Vriska might have on her that he can't see. And while her stealing his luck would likely hamper some of his efforts, making his shots go wide if he tries to blast her from a distance for instance, his own skillset is versatile enough to help mitigate this issue when it crops up. And, sense both continually get stronger as they fight, neither are going to be outright overpowering the other unless Vegeta taps into his evolution form. Overall, Vegeta would have good reason to assume he can handle this... until he pushes to far.

Everything Vegeta does, his bantering, his underhanded tactics, his willingness to abuse every advantage from his range to his skill to his considerably cooler head, will make Vriska that much more frustrated. And it's only a matter of time until she busts out the mind control. And given its proven ability to work on people who resist mind control, Vegeta can't handle it.

Even if Vegeta does manage to kill Vriska before she breaks out the trump card, she has a buffer that he does not. And while Vegeta would likely deduce that her healing only worked upon her dying, and thus resort to incapacitation, it's highly unlikely he can knock her out before she seizes his mind at that point. And he'd have to knock her out, as simply crippling her wouldn't prevent her from mind controlling him.

While one can make the argument that Vriska's difficulties controlling humans means she'd struggle to control saiyans as well, thanks to their similar brains, my question is what difference it would make. She can still put humans to sleep, so she'd be able to put Vegeta to sleep. The difference is between being mind controlled or being decapitated while you're sleeping.

Best case scenario, Vegeta knocks her out cold before she can bust out any of her tricks. Not only is this unlikely given the small skill gap and Vriska's own abilities, it'd require Vegeta to show an unusual amount of restraint against someone who was clearly trying to kill him. And while I'd make the argument that Vriska would render her own immortality moot eventually, given how ruthless her tactics are, it's ultimately a question of what her frustration would be directed at first. The guy she's fighting or the random civilians that he might not have any connection to. And add this to the fact that Vegeta's luck will quiet literally be dwindling by the second and I think the answer is clear.

In the end, Vegeta just doesn't have enough iron to smoother Vriska's fire. The winner is Vriska Serket.
