If you were to write Tavris into an au without them exploding, how would you do it?

Let me see...

Tavris can't tolerate their own existance because Vriska's and Tavros's personalities are irreconcilable and completly incompatible. The short term solution for the problem would be knock them unconcious. Let's say Jane get's scared when Tavris is suddenly created and knocks them out.

from there Vriska and Tavros could wake up in the bubbles but they wouldn't be ghosts anymore, they would be alive, like when the kids went to sleep and woke up in the bubbles. but their "alive body" is still tavrispritre. therefore, neither one wants to wake up. So they roam around the bubbnle they're in until they realize it's really small and they're the onlyones there

from there they would fight, stay as far away from eachother, before eventually trying to coexist. they would slowly talk about their relationship and how fucked up it was. the bubble would look like alternia and their lands giving them a chance to talk about their childhoods and their game.

back at the game, the timeline got doomed like it did in canon but this time, since they're alive, the sprites carry Tavris with them to john's land. erisol and arquius got draged by jasper like in csau while fefeta joined them later but this time carring Tavris. John, crow, Roxy, Jade, Nanna and the 4 sprites make it to the new timeline.

In the bubbles Vriska and Tavros are gettign along after the 6 months between tavris's creation and the end of the timeline they were in. This whole time tavris has been asleep but they never needed food or water since Sprites are game entitiesand don't actually need that (they can eat if they want to tho). They still don't want to wake up, but what else is there? Eventually tavros wants to wake up and give living like tavris a chance, vriska doesn't, she feels uneasy and doesn't want to feel that much hate again. but tavros wants to be alive even if it's in that form

At the game they defeated the condesce and are waiting to open the door when Erisol decides to intervine on the whole tavris deal. He knows what the "fussion self hate" feels like and it's kinda pissed tavris just got to sleep and not deal with it. but also he knows it can't go on forever and he can help to wake them up, hopefully feeling better.

Erisol uses his Hope powers on tavris. The hope energy surrounds them and put's their mind at ease. On the bubbles Tavros and Vriska start to lose the feeling of dread that prevented them from waking up. they begin to feel hope, hope for the future, even if it's as tavris and stuck together forever. with all this hope surrounding them they finally wake up.

Tavris wakes up. They freak out a little at first, but being alive feels a lot less awfull than the first time.

From there they have a whole arc learning to exist like Erisol did, finding the meaning of their new life. They ascend before going to the new world and they never explode. the end

I just came here to say that I love your fanfics, the way you write your characters and their development!

The first of your fics that I read was the on-going QSMP fic "Ready, Set, Detonate" is really good and the way you present the different relationships between characters (Friendship/whatever the morning crew has) is fantastic. I love the post-apocaliptic setting and all the concepts involved. The playlist is cool and I want to see where this time-bomb will go!

After that, I read some of them (Clinic, stars, world forgot, glass, the QSMP one-shots, even the old Pacific Rim AU XD)

And from the finished ones, definitely "Through a glass divine" is the one I loved the most! I was fascinated by the characters and their development; reading non-stop and looking for more! (One of my reasons for my exitement for the re-write, I will pay for read this version)

The end I liked the most was "The World Forgetting by the World forgot", because I feel it the most apropiate way to end that story! I """understand""" why some people didn't like-it, but I feel that this ending was the best way to close the plot

Postscript: Few days ago I read the book "Yumi and the Nightmatre Painter" by Brandon Sanderson and so many parts of the story remembered me to Glass. Is a really good book, that is like if Your Name and Through a glass divine fussioned to create a story! I highly recomend-it.

aw thank you!! I'm so glad you're enjoying ready set detonate. I keep forgetting that fic exists and then I randomly remember it and go on a writing spree for like an hour and then proceed to forget about it again. but I have a lot of fun with that one. tbh it's kind of an excuse for me to be insanely self indulgent and just write all of my fav dynamics from qsmp. morning crew + co. is so fun for me personally

(oh god you even read the pacific rim au? you really went digging huh. that was literally the first ever mcyt au I planned out and started writing how I viewed the characters back then was so different)

I'm so glad you enjoyed glass!! literally was such a trial and a half to write but I loved the world so much and had such a fun time really digging into all the different aspects of it. writing wilbur's character development in that was so satisfying to me

also thrilled to hear you loved world forgetting's ending. definitely the only somewhat 'controversial' ending I have for my fics but I still stand by that it was the right one for the story and I'm glad you think so too

ooooo I looked that book up and it seems really cool! I've put it on my to read list so if I see it at my local library I'll definitely check it out, thank you!

Why does the Sole Survivor betray the Commonwealth to join the Nuka World Raiders?

So I’ve recently replayed the nuka world dlc and it got me thinking. What could drive Sole to betray all they have work for in the main game like that? What happened in main game for them to do this? What made them change sides?

Sole is a prewar person with strong morals who wanted to stop the war and was ready to become a whole ass activist to stop it.

Then, they join a faction that helps people one way or another, they rebuild the commonwealth one settlement at a time and even if they show violent tendencies or greed or even apathy, you still have to do the right thing (a general right thing like stopping a murdered by killing them instead of making him see the error of his ways). So throught the whole game they are helpful and want to build something.

 So, why do they became a raider? REVENGE.

Sole already visited nuka world and became overboss, or at least had some contact with Gage and the raiders. They leave when they ask them to take over the commonwealth because they still have friends and family in there. Also, big morals.

I imagine a Sole whose main faction ordered them to blow the Institute and they refused. A Sole that wanted to rescue their son and save the scientists but whose faction saw this as betrayal or a coop. All those scientists were at fault for creating the synths, for abusing technology, for the disaperences and the deaths, of the fear that took a hold of the Commonwealth as a whole. All of them deserved to fall with their home. None of them deserved redemption.

Sole is mad that this is the hill their faction decided to died on. They try to go against them anyway, sneaking letters or sending another companion to get the scientists to run. But the faction catches on almost immediately and acts on their plan to avoid any more obstacles. Maybe the companion they trusted ratted them out. I want to see multiple companions against Sole and their resolve to save the Institute.

Imagine Sole being grabbed by their arms on top of the mass fussion building while the faction stand over the detonator, repeating their monologue while Soul just cries. A quiet cry with tears running down their face. And then the faction approach the detonator and Sole just starts screaming, they elbow their captors and tackles the faction leader and starts beating them while screaming bloody murder about how they trusted them, how after everything they gave the faction still chooses their paranoia over their true enemies and about how they betray their oath of protecting the commonwealth when they are about to destroy a large part of it. If romanced (Deacon or Preston) then they also yell how they thought he cared about them and their situation but he only cares about his own mission.

The rest of the faction catches them again and hold them down while the faction finally detonates the bomb. Sole struggles, yells and cries. After a few minutes they keep quiet and rests their forehead on the ground, promising to end this faction and make all who were with them PAY. (This includes settlements like Abernathy, Finch Farm or even the Slog) .

The faction lets them go since they had a huge part on their victory. Maybe they demote them or full on expell them but Sole gets to walk away.

Sole takes dogmeat and goes straight to nuka world. They are going to burn this city to the ground. The Commonwealth took their baby and there was hell to pay.

... extra points if that faction was the minutemen and Sole is just disgusted by the doble morals. (also applied to the railroad and Desdemona that treats the courses as ITS even though they are synths too)

If Wade heard about the whole "destroying ourselves is the only way to save the world" bullshit from The Umbrella Academy finale he would go himself and stop them, find an unhinged very troublesome solution and made Venom jokes about the whole Jennifer-Ben fussion

Love that you got into the fandom without consuming any of the source material. I'm so curious about how you perceive the story versus those of us who have been involved with it since the days that only the canon material existed.

Very excited to see you around!

thank you so much!

I'm gonna be honest with you, this is not my first rodeo. I got into a good third of my fandoms I'd guess without having consumed any source material first, although in most cases I did eventually consume it after getting into the fandom. that will not be the case here lol. in my experience it works like this: I see posts about a show/movie/book/etc on tumblr, I get curious about it, I read a fic on ao3 that really catches my eye, and if I like it I'll just continue reading fics. I'll sort by the fandom's most popular works and read a dozen before I start getting a hang of the characters, and then as I keep reading I start to understand the story and what happend in canon.

this was the case when I got into Harry Potter: I have never watched the movies or read the books and I was never particularly interested. all the knowledge I had was absorbed through cultural osmosis through the decades, but other than a few character names I knew basically nothing. "Harry is the main character, he's a magic orphan and lives in a cupboard, his friends are Ron and Hermione" "Voldemort is the bad guy and he looks hilarious (snake faced)" "I always get Dumbledore confused with Gandalf" "Snape and McGonagall are teachers" and that was about it. I didn't know pretty much anything about any of the characters beyond their names. I had previously read a few (and by few I do mean like six at most) fussion fics with other fandom's characters going to Hogwarts but I tended to avoid those and crossovers (with HP) tbh.

anyways, I got into HP bc I was in my era of binging time travel fics and I came across one and decided, why not, let's give it a chance. that was fun, so I went and found more fics. on the shorter side to start with, to try and get a feel for the characters, and the world building was quite interesting. so I kept at it and then I came across one fic where the first time Harry goes to Diagon Alley he takes a detour to talk to a lawyer and it really showed me what worldbuilding would look like in this universe and I knew that was it, I was definitely interested now.

I continued my way through reading time travel fics and fix-its and slowly a picture started forming in my mind of the story: the things that were repeated time and time again across multiple fics had to be canon events, although the details varied and not everything was always present in every fic. as I started reading more and more fix it's that would rewrite the entire timeline I started getting a clear picture of what happend year by year, although I was still very fuzzy on the details. I believed Umbridge was a squib for a while, from a fic I read. but like I said, the more I read the more I noticed the patterns repeating and from what was and wasn't said I eventually got a very clear picture of the timeline of canon events. I admit I'm a bit more fuzzy on stuff like the Marauders era; because there's much less canon about them and their era there is a lot more fanon, therefore it makes it harder to pin down actual canon fact versus everything else, (and besides I don't tend to seek out marauders era fic as much,) but I think I've got a pretty accurate picture of at least the Marauders and Lily and Snape. I'm a lot less clear on pretty much all their friends and everyone else from their era (maybe because afaik most of them are only ever mentioned by name and they have like, basically no canon at all?), and I admit I don't know much about post-Voldemort's resurrection Wormtail, but I don't think there is much to know.

and well, after a while, when I had a bit of a clear picture about the more general stuff I came back to tumblr in search of content. mostly fanart and fic recs, as you can probably tell from my blog, but I obviously came across a lot of really interesting meta that expanded my understanding of some canon stuff.

beyond that, if you're interesting in my perspective on stuff I can only say this: I have now probably read accurate and inaccurate portrayals of most characters. I have probably read flattering and very unflattering (critical, unfriendly, straight up hostile) portrayals of most characters too. this exists in every fandom and, where I have consumed the canon material I generally have my own opinion formed but I don't tend to mind, from time to time, reading fic that expresses opinions about characters that are in complete opposition to my own. but u do have very clear preferences. because I have not consumed the canon material here my preferences are not based so much on the characters themselves but rather on how I like to read them. which tends to vary from time to time.

like, say for example (and this may be a controversial opinion? if there's something I'm not at all knowledgeable in is fandom drama lol), the manipulative Dumbledore trope. do I like and agree with all that Dumbledore has done in canon? no. do I think canon Dumbledore was an evil bastard who didn't care about Harry at all and simply wanted a pawn? also no. but it is very fun to read those stories most of the time. but then I can also read stories where he has funky old grampa vibes, or when he's a funny troll with the teachers, or a million more characterizations, and I have fun, I don't care. I'm not attached to one Dumbledore portrayal. I did chose Dumbledore for this example because I thought it'd be less controversial but the same thing can be said of most everyone else: I can read Molly as having adopting Harry as an honourary Weasley and being his mother and loving him so so much, and I can read her as having been in cahoots with Dumbledore and stealing from Harry's vault, and I don't mind either.

the thing I probably enjoy the most is that I'm not burdened by canon, if that makes sense? like, controversial opinion time but I think that Snape is a really cool character. that said, canon Snape is an abusive bastard and if I'd read/watched canon I'd hate him. and sometimes it's great to read him as a villain, but sometimes it's also great to read him acting as a guardian to Harry and taking care of the Slytherin kids, and when I do that I don't have to make myself forget what a bastard he is in canon, does that make sense? because I haven't read the canon so him being an abusive bastard is like. just a thing I know. a fact I know about him, like the fact that his robes bellow behind him. I haven't read that, I haven't seen that, so its just a data point I have in my Snape characterization checklist (not literally), if that makes sense. so when I read some fics I don't think "this is so out of character, canon Snape would never, I'll chose to ignore canon Snape for now" I just think "cool, nice fic".

Snape (and Dumbledore and Molly above) are easy examples of this, but it applies to pretty much everyone. reading dark!Harry fics is so much fun and not once do I think "he wouldn't actually do that" as I bet lots of people do. to be fair, I am very flexible about reading fic in all my fandoms, even canons I have consumed and characterizations I am attached to, I don't mind from time to time reading something completely different and going "they would never do this" but then I just go "cool tho, I love it" because I'm that kind of person.

I have been writing forever but I guess I do like talking about it and my experience getting into fandoms without consuming the source material.

thank you so much for the ask and the warm welcome to the fandom 💖

Xenoverse 2... Again

Ok, with all this fuss of timelines... Now I have 2 Gokus... What could go wrong?

Side mission that pits me against Gogeta... Ok I can do it. Confronting him, how difficult can the fusion of Goku and Vegeta be? Oh how innocent I was...

When he shows up he arrives saying "shall we dance?" ... My poor heart almost stopped.

For general context I have a past with both fussions but because of things I let them go... (if you want to find out the complete gossip after the jump) So come flirting that way... My ovaries exploded ...

The context with details...

In high school, I went through the phase that every handsome male of anime series I fell in love with... So Goku clearly, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks even Gotenks and obviously Gogeta and Vegito... They became my boyfriends XD

Until I met a girl in high school, who would become my best friend... But she loved Vegeta to die.

At first we fought for the husbandos, until we came to the conclusion of distributing them XD (like pokemons)

She stayed with Vegeta and I for Goku. Vegeta became my ex-boyfriend haha and as our jealousy could not stand much ... We both decided to respect the fusions...

Gogeta nor Vegito would be anyone's boyfriend .

The years passed... many years... until at the time of the pandemic I played the Xenoverse for the first time and (you know that in this game everyone flirts with one...) Meeting Gogeta flirting with me again moved the world. Clearly I sent him flying like the Roquet team... but he insisted and made me remember our season in which I cared little about the rest of the world and I chose my boyfriends and... what prevented him from having a relationship with me?

what stopped me was respect for my friend and her relationship with Vegeta... and feeling somewhat unworthy because I left Vegeta...

But the world goes on and with so many timelines she could have her fusions if she wanted... And besides his insistence that "I'm not Vegeta or Goku"... how can I say no to him? Ha ha

First I had to define my relationship with Vegeta, but there the flame didn't ignite again... not like that. Now he treats me like I was an annoying little sister who he has to take care of the perverts (aka Gogeta and Vegito XD)

With that clear... I could let myself go...

Of course, after saying yes to Gogeta, Vegito appeared to demand his place too... In his own way, of course.

Thanks for reading my novel

C'est un grand mystère que nous parvenions à aimer la vie, follement, malgré l'inconnu qui nous guette, la maladie, les doutes, les chagrins, comme si tout se trouvait à certains moments résolu, et que nous fussions libres, d'une liberté sans limites, capables d'épuiser le monde en une vigoureuse inspiration...

It is a great mystery that we should be able to love life so wildly, in spite of the unknown that lies in wait for us, of sickness, doubts, sorrows, as if everything was, at certain moments, settled, and we were free, boundlessly free, capable of exhausting the world with one sharp intake of breath...

Follow me inside the wastelands - Chapter 15  -Arthur Maxson x Female Sole Survivor Fanfic

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14242575/15/Follow-me-inside-the-wastelands 

This one will be a long fic with a lot of chapters, I already write the concepts. Since I don’t play as Nora in Fallout 4 because Nate for me is the real protagonist the personalities and ideas are pretty fanbased from another fanfics I read

If you are very very very delighted with one fic and want a continuation I didn’t write or post you can donate me at least $5 bucks, most of this fics have next chapters I don’t finish because lack of motivation but hey a $5 is a $5, I see a few reviews and coments that fics that are abandoned months laters receive coments of wanting to know what happends next. Here it is, I finished my handling with you all, enjoy the fic

 Nora was running around the Prydwen until she saw a familiar siluette, Arthur was there in the command deck, she knocked on a wall to call his attention and went inside

-Hey I was looking for you –she said, looking how he raised his head

-Did anything happened?

-Its late, do you wanna sleep together tonight or prefer me in my own quarters?

-Im finishing some things, preparing for tomorrow –his eyes stop for a moment on her face, he smiled and went up and off from his desk, extending a hand, Nora didn’t get what he wanted but walk forward and take it, the man pull it and bring her close to his body, she was surprised but still relaxed, she was always relaxed and let himself be and do, he spinned around a bit and she close her eyes, also smiling.

This reminded her to some old night radio dance with Nate.

Arthur spinned around until her back was facing the view of the commonwealth, the stars and the limited lights of settlements the Prydwen was able to see were illuminating her silluete

Beautiful, that was she was.

He wanted to tell her so bad how he felt. He loved her so much.

Lets make a recap of her flaws, to not make everything so cheesy like he was some kind of blind man, nono, he recognized her problems and the things he didn’t like too, for example: they discussed a lot more than he wished it was expected since she had such different values because of her circumstances and how she arrived this world, she was too derogatory about the life of the wastelands and the people despite being a minutemen general, she should be more connected to people than him but in the insides she was very…hatefull...there was some other flaws like, bad shooter, she was more about punching things, stabing, cut across or exploding things with bombs or grenades, very dangerous in both situations for her own sake, too ignorant on some of the dangers of the commonwealth, when he heard she went with Proctor Ingram to the Mass Fussion Building without a power armor and just swallow all that radiation with Rad Away as a drink…well he nearly died too! She was also careless and underestimate some situations, like thinking that the mayority of people she faces is ignorant for not having school education. Nora was also sadistic and cruel sometimes, but he never see that in person, he just heard about it and wasn’t sure if believe it or not, it could be possible.

Despite looking down on human beings and their poor living conditions she was…respectfull may not be the world but look forward to interact with other species, he was aware of her connection with synths, ghouls, robots and even supermutants a thing he obviously didn’t like  at all, he didn’t understand how she melted so well with them and not with other people Speaking of connections he also heard when investigating her at the begining that she had a…connection, an hability to speak with beasts whoever this was never confirmed.  She wasn’t cultured very much into the brotherhood protocols and ways of acting so she often disappears, hardly make a report or respect the mannerism. He hated when she disappears specifically and she tooks a lot of time to came back. She walks, a lot of walking, almost never uses ventibirds which his responsible elder side thanked because ventibirds used a lot of fuel but on the other side he preferred that she started using it more for her own safety, now that he deeply cared for her he wanted to use the best of the best without sparing. Nora consumed chems, a thing he would never ever approve. And she also had a thing with the hygiene of places and stuff, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but is really a luxury he cant provide much, it was very difficult for him to achieve that level of cleaning on any place and keep it regularly

She also had secrets, many many secrets according to the notebook that Preston gave him,  secrets that she didn’t even want to share with him in the notebook but with other people yes. Secrets about her past life, secrets about her son, secrets about the institute, secrets about her wealth, secrets about the minutemen, secrets on the people she killed…

But the worst thing he really really hated was her eating habits. Im so sorry prewar woman, but you have to eat to not starve! I get that the flavor are not the best but still! Its not optional! Get over it! Arthur had already suspicions about her health being compromised!

When Nora felt that they stopped she open her chocolate eyes, meeting the blue ones of him, he turned his head to a side and she open her lips for a kiss, both kissed.

It was warm, and sweet, caring, wet and Arthur felt overjoyed from it. It was a kiss of pure love.

A hand of him went to cup her check, the other posed on the back of her waist. A hand of her posed on his chest over his heart an the other on his right shoulder. This was magical, Arthur never wanted this to stop.

They were kissing with the doors open in a public place, guards at the entrance of the command deck, now it didn’t matter, they can be together in public.

But tonight wont be the day hell confess, he was waiting for the perfect time to make it outstanding.

-Mmm –she hummed in their mouths before separating, still looking into his blue eyes- im going to my own quarters, im picking you by 6 to have breakfast and leave early so we use all the sunlight

-Make it 6:30 in my own quarters, I already have breakfast prepared and ready

-Alright, see you there honey –she gave him a chap kiss and took a moment to look deeply in his eyes before separating, from his point of view, Arthur see the most beautiful pre-war American wife spinning around the view of the commonwealth until disappearing into the Prydwen again.

By morning both were having a hot coffee with some pasterys Arthur specially asked for her, he wanted to have her stomach filled during the day, shell surely wont have lunch. A  pair of powdered donuts for him and three fudge fusion donuts for she, again, he was happy she eated, this lately concerns him a lot. Now they were spending a lot of time together he notices more this things and her awfull habits make him worry bad.

Since they meet she was skinny but maybe it was malnutrition.

They were off the airport walking in their power armors and laser rifles by 7:30, still, she had granades and explosives packed all around which didn’t make Arthur feel safe at all but she was the expert sentinel so better trust her methods.

-So you say a caravan will pick us at the exit of Boston? –he asked, both had their helmets on with the robotic voices and hey Dogmeat was following them too!

-Yeah its not a friendly place for wheely objects and they don’t want to cross further

-Understandable, do they know anything about my identity?

-No, they don’t care enough to ask, they just move to get paid, already leave a booking paid even, what? Are you concerned about your safety?

-I cant be?

-Not necessary, is not the first bodyguard job I do for the brotherhood and you know it

-Well being scared and horny really makes the experience of loving you –he said that as a joke no joke but…Nora stop on her way and stay behind, he look back just to see her standing in his direction, since they were wearing the helmets he couldn’t see her facial experesion. Woops, did he say too much? Too son? Didn’t expect that reaction emmmm better came out with something else…-Is there something wrong with your power armor? –yeah yeah yeah better dismiss the subject.

-Ehhhhhh…no…no…-she said, and started walking faster leaving him behind.  Well that sucked, and he believed that things could go just fine if he was honest about his feelings…a pain appeared in his chest, why? Really caught her off guard that much? It was that weird hearing that from him? He thought something else.

Both walked in silence for an hour or two, hurting Arthurs feelings a lot in the process.

Sometimes the experience of loving Nora also hurted. All relationships sometimes hurted and he was aware of that but…

She killed some bloodbugs in the way, really hard ones but he confirmed the rumors that she didn’t had any shoot skills, unlike him that he do blast heads in one shot, to be in the Prydwen most of the time that was really good.

-We aren’t walking on the roads. –Dogmeat was around, sniffing and walking

-Nope, I did this route to go as quick as possible and not cross danger or people around

-Its not an easy route

-Wait until we have to cross the rivers

-Im not freezing my balls underwater

-Then ill be waiting for you at the other side

They walked with Nora making the lead, they were still on the city but walking in allys and streets empty, Arthur had chills over his neck, they didn’t meet a single person, some screams at the distance, people talking around but not on sight, his stomach hurted this was all an experience its feels like getting in the wolfs mouth just for a woman that maybe didn’t love him back, his life, position, security…he was compromising the brotherhood by doing this! Who will assure him when they arrived this place Sanctuary Hills hes never been before it was gonna be a safe place to stay over? He breathed, in and out to reassure himself, this was eating his brain hard in anxiety and…his stomach sounded, damn, they walked a lot and now he was hungry, or sick of thinking whatever.

-How much until we reach the caravan?

-Two more hours straight walking

-You are crazy its almost noon

-Beautiful city doesn’t? my first time here i get trapped for an entire week, wasn’t unable to find the exit, luckily I had Strong with me

-The supermutant?

-Yeah, I was trying to find my way to Diamond City and I find him first, I saved him and he watch me

-Im so sorry the Commonwealth hasn’t gave you a proper welcome

-A shoot on the head will be more appropriate for the wastelands standards

-heck don’t say that

It was hard to jump off the bridges with the heavy power armors but they managed to make it and arrived to Cambridge. Dogmeat did even better than them

-Well meet the caravan at the Wattz Consumer Electronics

-We walked a lot

-Sorry about that, most of the city is hostile, ill make sure to compensate this

Arthur looked at the distance, they leave the tall buildings behind.

-If im not dead sleepy by night, why we didn’t go on heights?

-You mean jumping on the ceilings? –he nodded- the power armors are too heavy for that, we don’t have much mobility to jump further and the crashes are too hard on this deteriorated roofts, too risky, also there’s a lot of snipers on these roofts

Too hostile.

When they reach the caravan at the entrance of the fabric Nora went to pay the driver a box he counted as an actually big amount but she made an okay sign to make him know that everything was fine. Arthur sit on the back with the dog, power armor still on, he went to take off his helmet but before anything can see the sunlight Nora run to cover his head with a cloth behind him, making both the man and the dog stranged, since the dog wasn’t alarmed he wasn’t neither.

-This smells bad…

-I had a hat washed for you wait a minute! You are so impatient –she said covering his face with the cloth, getting out from her suit a wrapped cap, this was very…maternal at least, she was taking care of him. The hat was placed as he stand still on his place, she sighted and also look for a water can and a Salisbury steak to give him, Arthur wait for the food feeling little, small. –now we can go

-Wont you eat anything?

-There’s a horrible smell in the air, I will end throwing up the breakfast -indeed there was an awful smell, the smell of radiation and something rotting in every corner in the wastelands. Still not enough reason to not eat. She was starving herself. When she sat comfortable on the caravans back after going around a couple of times she hit twice the box where they sat –We are okay! Lets go!

Arthur keep eating with the scarf of the wrapped cap down, she hasn’t even take the helmet off. This make him feel bad.

-Are you legs okay? –she nodded as he drank something

-it will be a five hours ride, if you are tired then sleep, ill watch your back

-You know its impossible to sleep on a power armor

-I done it worse

Arthur look around, two bramins were moving the  caravan instead of one, no wonder why she paid so much.

-Nora how old are you? –he asked out of nothing, calling her attention.

She blanked, but still answer- almost 250 years old –what the hell- I was 33 when the bombs dropped, and it passed more than 210 years…and I been around awake almost 4 years…

-Im almost 25

-Yeah I was aware of being a cradle robber –she said that as a joke but with everything she has been trought that joke feeled sour and awful.

They had a really different view of the world, besides being a pre-war person.

So…she had her son late, and she was now even older than before. A shiver run through his spine, a kid with her like he wished so much had risky consequences. But…it would be nice. I must be nice.

He saw her move her back down slowly to the floor of the crate were they were sitting, laying, looking up the sky and the threes. Well that was strange

-Are you okay? –he asked, she was only laying but in the power armor that was at least okay.

-The weather is nice, today is a nice day of spring…when we started…getting along it was summer remember?

-Its been a bussy year yeah –he said drinking his can of purified water, Dogmeat was around sniffing on the can.

He was feeling very intense things for a relationship that has less than a year but…in the wastelands you don’t choose who you love you cling to them once you have them. Love hits you hard as a rock and its hard to suppress or ignore this feelings. Every moment could be the last opportunity to be together and he…sees that, he values every second together and wanted to exploit it to the top.

Arthur take the nap she recommended, not laying, just sitting with his legs crossed to not loose balance, she helped to make the wrapple cap more comfortable around his neck and cover him from the sun. Nora sit at his side with the laser rifle altought he wasn’t going to feel really protected by her shooting skills.

Some hours passed until the man wake up, the caravan stopped and a big weight left the crate, making his floor all woobly waking him up by force. It was already night, his vision had in front a bridge with a small river, at his sides some stone pillars with laser turrets and some interesting patrol towers behind him, his eyes look for Nora, hands up at the patrol tower who had a sniper pointing at her

-Its me Cait! Im back! Let the caravan rest for tonight, the other power armor is my companion

Dogmeat was also around Nora, running.

-Good to see you Nora! Took you time to came back here! –the woman turn down her rifle and Nora run to him

-Put on your helmet okay? Im going to greet some people, stay in the caravan –he nodded, still sleepy, he was in no position to fight right now his muscles were all sore from sleeping inside the power armor sitted in that position for so many hours, better let her take care of the situation.

He saw Nora hugging a woman with some red short hair even in her power armor, lifting her as she cursed loud. The dog next to them barked happy.

The surroundings look like…a neighborhood from the prewar, the pavement was of course destroyed and in bad state but it has been filled with cement in the big holes he can see even in the night, the lights of the street were functional, he looked up and see a poor conection of cables that will surely look awful during the day, Arthur believed they did a better cable connection at Croup Manor. The houses that were illuminated and easy to get a look were…well they must be nice looking before the bombs dropped but now…well handmade was a word? Precarious? Retouched? Lets not lie ugly was the real word, he can see why Nora hate everything so much but it wasn’t much different from Croup Manor it just that this was her home and seeing it in this conditions must be really hard for her.

There was people walking around, in one of the houses there was a cooking station at the backyard, he sees a lot of gardening tools so they must have crops, there was also parcels of entirely crops, just crops, there must be a house before but there now only crops which was good that they have the food secured. A greenhouse was in some other parcel too and he can see… a lot of security, a lot of turrets, a lot of patrol towers all around the little “island” at the edges, since the river was low and easy to walk anybody can walk their way to the place to protection must be needed, the water was there obviously for natural reasons but mostly for humidity and resource functions. He will ask Nora about it, knowing her it surely was a subject she thought about

The caravan advanced in the streets, the people there was just doing…their stuff, chill, just walking by and working like in Croup Manor, she also bring peace here, of course it was a fantasy, if a lost creature appeared from the forest everybody will take out a gun from the middle of their asses to shoot but it was the most reachable peace state a place can achieve in the savage wastelands, at least in the outsides of a fortification like Diamond City. A lot of cattle was walking around with a pastor or somebody guiding them, he wasn’t a fan of animals around people but it was understandable for their uses

The smell of burning meat and coal in the air, but at this hour people was cooking so it didn’t seem that strange, what it was strange was the grey smoke coming out from some backyards, that’s a lot of smoke.

Yeah it doesn’t look all bad, of course it wasn’t as polished and organized as the brotherhood of steel bases but this wasn’t a military forte, this was just a neighborhood of people living their life, using the resources of the land. There was even business around the houses structures, like, new structures that they look very out of place in contrast with the old prewar house aesthetic but is not like it wasn’t better in any other place

Well apparently in Jack Cabot house it was.

The place has a lot of light, he wonders where the energy comes from but the sound around tells him that there was a lot of generators functioning.

Caravan took him a bit far into the place and then he heard Nora running on the power armor where he was, that’s right, heard, the power armors are loud

-So is this were we stop? –he asked with the helmet on. Dogmeat was nowhere to find but as she said the dog was a free spirit so he wouldn’t mind too much.

-Yeah I just saw you running from me and came to you –she chuckled- come on get down, lets go to my house

He went down, the caravan moved a lot and the brahmins whined at the sludden lost of weight, accustomed to the way they were walking for the last 8 hours –what time is it? –he saw the caravan continue their way in the road

-Almost 22hs, I asked for people to wait for us to arrive, lets go to dress before the dinner start! –she take out the helmet, so he did the same.

-A communal dinner? In the street?

-Nono! An authentic neighborhood barbecue!

-Another? Last week we did one in the airport

-Yeah but this time we are doing it with beef steak! Well, brahmins aren’t exactly beef but im sure it would turn out better than the last one with my recipie, I gave exact instructions and how barbecue sauce must be and apparently farmers found the perfect substitutes for some of the ingredients so im willing to try it! Im hungry! I expect to come out great!

Datadatadatadatadata he had to try to imitate old recipes for her to actually want to eat, and give her meat, it was expensive but he prefer ir than let her starve to death

Both went in their power armors inside the womans house, Nora open the door and turn on the lights just to be received by Codsworth.

-Hello maam! Good to see you safe and sound! –Arthur was a bit disturbed by the robot but Nora saluted him with a very bright smile, this was the robot from her stories. A classic domestic mister handy –Mr Preston told me what happened to you I cannot do other thing than worry…

-Awww –she hummed authentically emotional about it calling the mans attention.

-and keep working in the hot water system, its finished

-Really? Theres hot water!? –she said genuinely happy running to what apparently was the kitchen on one side, opening one of the taps and letting the water run over a pan to fill it.

-Yes, its only functioning in the kitchen and the shower and it takes some moments to heat…-Arthur look around, there was pipes over the ceiling and walls where he supposed the water moved from one side to other

-Amazing! How do you make it?

-Sturges find a way to connect gas cylinders to the hot water tank you bring some months ago, so the tank needs that supply –she closed the tap and moved down her back still into the power armor to be facing  the water into the pan –there was a laundry room over in the hallway as far he can see so maybe the tank was there, as the pipes reunited suggested.

-It feels warm –she said close enough to feel the change of temperatures, it was life changing to see this in her home after so long

-It needs a bit more of time before getting hot hot

-But it needs this fuel right? The gas cylinder

-Yes but…-she smiled bittery and went when she heard that response, sighting.

-Well its going to be for special ocattions then.

-It can be used to cook also! –the robot tried to cheer her a bit.

-Nah, the woods gave the food a special flavor anyway

Nora had such high standards he thought, there’s no way you can have unlimited gas supply just paying a fee like before the bombs dropped. That’s never ever going to happened at least in their time alive on this earth. You need a massive group of structures, knowleage, people willing to work together in that task, infrastructure around several areas and disciplines…too much for the wastelands…

-I also been keeping the room clean for you maam –said the robot and she smiled.

-Codsworth this is Arthur –she make them both greet, Arthur just raised a hand a bit uncomfortable with giving a robot a human treatment but he will respect him, as by how Nora described him he was apparently a member of her surviving family and it was important for her- we are going to the barbecue tonight.

-Oh that’s great news maam, do you want me to get something ready?

-Get out the fancy clothes please –she said moving to a corner of the living room to get out from the power armor.

-Yes maam –then the robot went out the room, going inside the hallway.

-Come and park here, ill hide our fussion cores –he went and do as he was told, coming out ahhhhhh this was liberating, Arthur and Nora both stretched their arms and legs that were all hard from being such a large amount of hours inside the power armor.

He look at her, the warm lights on the ceilings make her look beautiful, but he thought that frequently because she was indeed, beautiful.

-That was interesting –he mumble low and then she went to stretch him in her arms, wow he didn’t expect that at all

-You are quiet

-Nothing special, this is just new –then she kissed his cheek, and he smiled also hugging her by the waist, he wonder if the robot could feel…jelousy? Because he wasn’t his old master but he was still hugging his wife…althought he had no one to snitch about it…

-Maam! The change of clothes are ready! –they both heard coming from the hallway, Nora separated and went to the power armors to take out the cores.

-Go and pick whatever you feel comfortable and change, don’t worry, you’ll be safe around me.

-I didn’t worry a bit about it.

-Pick something nice, we are going to a party!

He went inside the bedroom as the robot came out it was wide, it had a lot of space and in the double bed there was several clothes bended to display, he went for something simple not wanting to think much because this wasn’t his area: a checkered shirt and slacks. He came out from his suit and put on the old fabric, feeling it dry and rusty but still, he can see it was clothes from the prewar, washed to be usable and not having radiation smell but still old. Arthur look at himself on the broken mirror and…it wasn’t bad, red was a good color, he liked it, not a bad choice, it was so strange to see this vision of himself like a…prewar man…the scar in the face didn’t help to make the  dream but here was war before so some mens had scars too.

Nora came not so long and look at him with a smile

-What do you think? –he asked.

-The woodsman look has its charms but ill will go with other options…-she said pointing at some other pack of clothes over the bed.

-Do you want me to change? –she denied with her head and sat on the bed, crossing her long black legs, Arthur swallowed saliva and bend the knee, oh yes this was his thing, on the floor he automatically started to unlace her long boots, loving the view of the woman from bellow.

-No, pick something for me too and lets go to eat, im hungry.

Oh shit yes no funny time she wanted to eat! The man do as quickly to take out the boots from her legs and move, he can get a payback from that sweet little game from before later when she fills her stomach.

-Mmm ill go with this one –he pointed at a laundered cream dress and she smiled.

-Well do you wanna help with this over here or…-Arthur laughted at seeing her hands on the zipper, he went out the room getting amused to the new shoes she gave him.

-Change yourself and lets go –he said and she  chuckled, he suddenly had a thought and stopped- hey since we are here do you have some photos from before?

-Mmm no…-bullshit

-Come on don’t be boring.

-Codsworth had a few, most were destroyed or scavenged, like most of our things –shit he messed up bringing a sour subject to the table, guess hell had to talk with the robot.

The robot was already looking for him at the command of his master, Arthur was a bit uncomfortable that he heard all the conversations but a small cabinet open on his head, in the inside there was…papers…a lot of papers…He put his hand inside a bit uncomfortable and take all the content out.

A folder…some handwritten notes…oh my a gun…a closed mini box…another closed mini box…a third closed mini box…and…four photos! It was a bit disappointing that there was only three but it would be a surprise if they was more. He placed the rest of the content inside the robots compartment and check on his treasure.

He felt…weird seeing at the photos with a void in the chest…there was Nate, the famous Nate, Nora’s husband, because she was still his widow, she never take the ring off, ever see her without it. The first photo was of the two of them in their marriage day, he was in a black suit and her in a lovely and elegant white dress with a white cap instead of a veil, classy and original, hugging each other with a smile. Gosh she looked pretty and different. Arthur wished to see that for him one day even if in the brotherhood the concept of the white dress doesn’t exist he knew about this old world tradition and it looked…beautiful, it looks beautiful on her, if she asked him for a suit and a white dress he will search all around the world to find a dress for her to use on their special day.

The second picture show them both, she was  pregnant and he had a hand on her belly, a heat appeared on his face, gosh he wished for that in a not so long future. Again, she looked…so different…more big, but again, she was pregnant, and in the other one she had a dress…alright…

The third photo had the full family, even Codsworth was on, now they had their baby and their robot, this would be the picture that makes Nora the saddest, she always get sad talking about their son…She was sitted holding the baby and Nate was kissing her cheek and holding the babys hand, Codsworth was just around.

The fourth picture…oh shit oh shit oh shit whyyy what was the explanation!? He searched for some kind of inscription o text around but he didn’t find anything until he flipped the photo and…oh…oh my…

All pictures had inscriptions…and had a chronological order.

The first one was about their first vacations together.

The second one was the marriage

The third one was the pregnancy and the last one was the baby, he gets it.

-Why you people go to vacation in underwear back then? –he asked and hear the response from the other room.

-That’s not underwear that’s a swim suit! Back then you can swim on the rivers and seas without getting sick!

-You are kidding –he said still looking for more details.

-No sir, waters could be in some areas dirty but not poisonous –responded Codsworth taking Arthur a bit of his safe zone but it was still interesting  to hear- there was beaches, spas, resorts…all places with water to play and relax, people will save their money all year just to enjoy a few weeks

Nora looked so different in this photo.

She was chubby. No wonder where the wide hips come from, she didn’t have much boobs back then neither but she had more, more of everything!  More flesh! She was more rounded, had much more curves…gosh she isn’t naturally this skinny. Arthur came to the realization that she was really starving herself.

He compared it to the photo of their wedding, her legs looked wider even, same size between both, not much chest. Then, on the photo of her pregnancy her boobs looked bigger but for obvious reasons. A pain appeared on his chest, nonononono she lost a lot of her health in this time. By any chance Danse meet her that chubby? He doesn’t remember her look the first time they meet since that much time  passed, what he does remember is that she apparently had been wandering a time around with the minutemen before hearing the signal of the Cambrige Station.

Looking at the photos he felt…bad…really bad for her…she lost so much of her old life…the rounded apples on her cheeks were now gone, she had a slim face structure that marked very well her cheekbones, but that wasn’t normal.

-How do I look? –she said walking in the hallway, the skirt of her dress moved lovely with her hips but he only smiled sadly.

-You look different –he gave her the photo, Nora took it- your shoes tonights looks classy tho.

-I lost a lot of weight –she smiled bitterly, Arthur took her hands with the photo still between her fingers and kiss each.

-Did you lost it after your pregnancy? –he asked looking at how small her wrists looked, he always see her skinny but now…it makes her fragile.

-No, I actually was wider, but when you are big and…have periods of going hungry…you lost a lot of weight, a lot, suddenly –he heard that stories about going days without eating, trapped in some places, not finding anything, traveling to more and more full scavenged places…

-I never get the chance to get fat because food was always limited, so I’m used to eat and stay this way.

-I don’t think ill ever see myself like that again, not in the wastelands –the life of this century even robbed her old image. And he…can’t promise or even see himself fulfilling a healthy lifestyle for her to be chubby and have a good diet at his side. He cant see himself providing meat to her everyday, and he was the elder of the brotherhood of steel!

-You are beautiful –he said to reassure her.

-Its not that bad, I had to lose that weight anyway, society back then didn’t want big womans, do you see how small is the Nuka girl waist? But Nate didn’t mind at all and we were happy, he was even happy when my boobs grow up at getting pregnant. He always was a boob man.

Well he understands the man well, maybe one day hell see that too.

He smiled to her, and she smiled too.

-Lets go to the party shall we? –she nodded, Arthur left the 4 photos inside the robots compartment and closed the little door with force, Nora laughted a bit and went to check on the robots head a bit worried he used too much force, but it was all fine.

-Well be back Codsworth!

-Have a nice evening maam!

-Make the bed for us please!

Well now the robot knew they were going to fuck.

7, 8, and 14 for the pride asks :)

7. Are you the "token" queer person in your family?

Kinda. I'm the only one in my family who is queer, besides my sister. So within our nuclear family, no, but over the wider family, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that's openly queer. My sister doesn't hide it, but the difference is that I actively advertise it on social media that's accessible. I even managed to make my homophobic fascist uncle stop following me on Instagram

8. Describe your gender without using any words traditionally related to gender:

This one is hard. A bomb that I don't know how to defuse. A conglomerate of everything I've found on the street. A transcendental object that I will probably never understand.

My gender is weird. I don't really believe in it. So it is kinda what I want it to be. But at the same time:

I don't want much of anything

I have unsung desires from the depths of my bowels

So it's this constant limbo/salsa dance of it being "whatever" or "not much of anything" to [most of the conceivable identities under the sun. some inconceivable ones too].

In short, my gender is a star, carefully balancing the forces of gravity, that try to make it collapse inward, and the pressure cause by fussion reactions at the core, that try to explode the star outwardly

14. How do you think other factors like neurodivergency or upbringing have impacted your identity?

Uhhhhhhh firstly nihilist philosophy has generally fucked my worldview to the point that it's not compatible with most people's perception of the world, I think. That has definitely influenced my views on gender.

It doesn't help that I love to find niche philosophical things to deep delve on. Or just think about how the world doesn't make sense so I shouldn't either. All of this to say that the fact that I'm intellectually gifted (which is a form of neurodivergence, and can be a learning impairment) led me to think to hard about gender so it broke.

Also, growing up Latino has had some influence, but not a huge amount.

This was lots of fun! Hope I can do this again. It actually helped me to elucidate something about my ~gender✨~

Anyhow, if any of you wanna talk more about gender, or ask more questions, feel free. I'm actually pretty desperate for some queer social interaction lol

do you think you might do a fussion of dogamy and dogaressa? :D and/or, can two monsters fuse and then a third join? (or even just from the get go three monsters fuse?) i just really like the snowdin dogs and liked that two of them are married lol

They'd be called Puptial Vow...

well now i might have to XD

As for more than two monsters fusing, I think that's a limit on this world--only two monsters can fuse at a time. It keeps things simple :"D

[zibus]

Been doing some research into DID recently, and how some systems talk about alters who are the results of fussion immediately put me in mind of Paul.

For those who haven't seen it (and I don't have DID or close contact with anone who does so sorry if I put things poorly) sometimes as part of therapy or in response to adult trauma two alters fuse personalities and memory, literally becoming a new third person. In one video I watched the new alter expressed sadness over not being either of the 2 earlier alters anymore, and over the loss of those alters' relationship with each other. But ultimately they said that the fussion was good for the system as a whole and part of the healing processes.

And I just immediately was reminded of how Paul is written in the brief time we have them in NtN. How they have the memories of both Pal and Cam. The alter I watched talked about how their two previous selves had become so close and reliant on each other - co-fronting so often - that one couldn't exist without the other. If that doesn't perfectly describe Pal and Cam I don't know what does.

Was it a perfect solution? No, definitely not. But it was the solution Pal and Cam had access to. It was their way of healing and bringing more love into the world.

Not sure if this was intentional, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I'll miss Palamedes Sextus and Camilla Hect, but I'm so excited to get to know Paul.

Pasajero Luminoso- El corazón de las ballenas (2017)

Nos queda pendiente para liquidar esta semana con novedades jazzeras (y en la que se infiltraron algunas otras cositas) el nuevo trabajo de Pasajero Luminoso, la banda que formase Pepo Limeres tras su salida de Pez y en la que lo acompañan Juan Pablo Moyano, Fabián Miodownik y Ezequiel Rivas a los que se le suman en esta oportunidad en el papel de invitados el bandoneonista Adolfo Trepiana, Pablo Carreras en viola e Ivonne Guzman en voz. "La respuesta se desata, estalla en mil pedazos. Años, luces, luego ríos. En planetas, luego en mares y confluyen en instinto. La pregunta sigue vive, pues la luz es a la sombra lo que la sombra al vacío, y el vacío está en la nada y en la nada, todo vino. Todo aquello en un suspiro, un pensar en vibración elevada al olvido. La vigilia hincha el tiempo, el espacio, los sentidos, lo enseñaron los ancestros, mi sonido es la verdad, la fuente, el regocijo. Atraviesa horas / sombra en voz te esperan, y serás lo que tu quieras. El tímido vibrar de una vela o el rugir crepuscular de la mar entera." recita Ivonne en el tema cierre del disco y de alguna manera resume en palabras lo que la música ha ido tratando de elucubrar por senderos mas complejos y de contornos mas difusos. La fusión propuesta por Pasajero Luminoso indaga en múltiples espacios como han hecho en sus dos trabajos anteriores pero con un resultado, a mi entender, un escalón por encima. Tal vez la sensibilidad o esto que llaman la química, tal vez su desatado frenesí para aunar el jazz (genero madre del disco) con la música criolla, el tango, el rock progresivo o el bossa nova o tal vez una combinación de esto y una gama dinámica inapelable, un talento y una creatividad al servicio del buen gusto y tantas otras cosas que solemos evocar cuando nos encontramos con un disco como "El Corazón de las ballenas". Un compendio de melodías conmovedoras (y conmovidas) que ganan en intensidad conforme corre el álbum y se intuye un alto grado de simbiosis entre sus partes así como un abanico de influencias que alcanzan para recorrer la historia de la música en el Siglo XX. Un trabajo tan delicado y detallista que resulta una caricia para nuestros oídos. No se lo pierdan.

ESCUCHAR (Y DESCARGAR) 

[im-totally-not-an-alien]

Final Fantasy 7 prompts no. 16

1. Cloud and Sephiroth are soulmates, but Sephiroth rejected Trooper! Cloud because he saw him as useless and weak, and very much beneath him. Cloud of course, is crushed beyond reason, and his friend Zack is left picking up the pieces.

Sephiroth didn't even recognize Cloud at Nabilhaim, making him feel even worse.

Later, during both the final battle and the events of A!C! Sephiroth can't seem to understand why his beautiful- powerful- perfect- Cloud kept rejecting his advances. They were soulmates, weren't they?

2. Reno wakes up feeling like crap and hearing someone cursing him out. As he becomes more aware however, he realizes he's laying on Rudes back and they were both being carried out of the Zolom infested swamp like a mini pancake stack by none other than a thoroughly miffed Cloud Strife. Reno is honestly touched.

3. Ff7 remake fic where Barret pays Cloud to play dress up and have tea parties with Marlene.

4. I adore the ff7 x The dark artifices crossover. I can totally see the fae freaking out about all the Edrich magic pumping through Cloud and Vincent, and adoring Cloud and crew cause Cloud is basically an Edrich God who isn't inherently malicious and they're trying to get him on thier side. The Clave is trying to find excuses to hate them though.

5. Cloud time travels but he can only speak in incorrect-strife-quotes

6. Cloud sacrificed himself to seal Sephiroth away and now they're both stuck sleeping in a gigantic materia in town Square. Generations come and go and every year the people hold a festival in his honor, wrapping the glowing white materia in yellow and white lilies and rejoicing in the surrounding nature. Genesis stops by regularly, and while niether Sephiroths or Clouds faces ever move, he likes to think they're annoyed by his Loveless recitals.

7. Cloud lands in an alternate universe and his wrist immediately starts to burn. He peels off his long glove to see Sephiroths name written there. He just stares blankly at it for what feels like an hour before letting out a string of curses that would make Cid proud. Once he learns he's not on Gaia anymore Cloud decides to play it safe and uses an alias so the him from this world doesn't get in trouble when he blows the reactors. Except he doesn't. Cause there are no reactors. Shinra is run by Sephiroth after a military coo left him in charge. There is nothing for him to fight. Cloud proceeds to break down for the second time that week.

Elsewhere, Sephiroth is looking down in disbelief at the name on his arm. Who the fuck is Storm Strife?

And thus begins thier global game of cat and mouse.

8. Cloud wakes up in a lab 10 years in the past. If that wasn't bad enough, he's surrounded by small children with either silver or blond hair, all of which look like fussions of him an Sephiroth. Cloud can't help it, he screams, and the children, none of whom look a day older than 7 begin to cry. After a few moments he mutters, "Damn it. Guess I'm a dad now."

Weeks later and several reports of a flock of small Sephiroths later, the Silver General tracks them down and confronts Cloud.

9. Sephiroth grinned down at Cloud, "Your suffering brings me joy."

Cloud to his credit, looked scandalized, "Um, ew?"

10. Cloud falls through the roof of the Shinra building and kills Hojo.

11. All the guys wear dresses for a day. No one comments on it.

(Edit: by all the guys I meant all of them. Everyone from Barret and Sephiroth to Hojo and Rude. No one is spared.)

12. Rufus falls out of the sky and Cloud catches him. Niether say anything as Cloud sets him on his feet. Rufus straightens his tie and smooths out his clothes before nodding his thanks to Strife, who just raises an eyebrow in response

13. Cloud screams into the void and before long Barret joins him. Tifa is glad the guys are bonding but...

14. Cloud time travels but is super clingy to Zack. Zack meanwhile is just freaked out and wondering why this blond guy keeps apologizing to him. Should he be worried?

15. Cloud also curses at Sephiroth any time he sees him. Like, strait to his face. An entire platoon of SOLDIERS swore they felt thier blood freeze when this crazy tiny blonde started to literally tell the most powerful man in the world to "Fuck himself with a wooden pogostick and go strait to hell!" Sephiroth fought him and lost, being saved by Zack blocking the swordsmans deathstroke. Sephiroth is afraid.
