This is LOOOOONNNGG overdue. I had this thought ever since I saw Garry Mann and thought to myself "You know what would be funny? An HLVRAI reference." So uh, here he is. Basically legally distinct Doctor Tommy from HLVRAI. He is just a little dude, nothing unnatural about him at all!!!

Ok but how did ace even get a girlfriend in the first place? Did she confess and he just went along with it? Did he think having a girlfriend would make him seem cooler? Was it a dare or something? Cause for someone like ace to just go ghost on her and not have an actual talk, kind of makes me feel like these two were not friends before they were partners.
So then, fast forward to nrc, ace is trying so hard to lose the feelings he has for his best friend. Because that's all they are: friends, homies, if you (duece) will. Yuu has the cream of the crop to pick from, he's kind of at a disadvantage here.
Plus, whose to say their entire dynamic won't change the second they get together? He doesn't want to get bored and start to hate one of his dearest friends by proxy, so might as well just play it safe and suffer a little than take that risk and the both of you suffer a lot 🤷‍♂��.
Meanwhile yuu, who still has their old phone/mp3 player, has been playing Jenny by Studiokillers on repeat. Lying in their bed, just down horrendous for this absolute ball of boyish mischief. How dare he, honestly?
Well. At least he gives them a lot of openings to flirt with him?
*disclaimer, I was home schooled so my actual knowledge about middle school dating is beyond non-existent so take what I say with a grain of salt
The information we get about Ace's girlfriend comes from his suitor suit vignette and he does not mention how they actually got together, just some of the things that they did and how boring Ace thought all of them were. And I agree! The way they broke up does not make it sound like they were friends before dating, though they could have been casual acquaintances. The way Ace likes to goof around makes me think he was probably pretty popular, and had a lot of those types of relationships. His description of the relationship makes me think he probably went out with her because he thought she was cute and that it would be fun to have a girlfriend, but didn't actually stop to think about who she was as a person or what dating actually means. And hey, he was in middle school. He was going to be a bit stupid about those sort of things. The experience seems to have made him think a lot about what he wants in a partner, and we know from Ortho he was telling the truth when he's forced to spell it out:
Tumblr media
His voice lines flesh out what he wants a bit more; he says he thinks it's important to find someone you have fun with and that he wants to get married later in life. So Ace knows what he wants... he just gets really embarrassed when called out on it and refuses to talk honestly about his feelings (though he kind of does that in general hehe)
So flashing forward to NRC. Ace knows what he wants and Yuu is such a perfect fit it hurts. Best friends to lovers is a popular trope in fiction sure, but in real life? At a school? Yeah right, Ace still has to see them every day if they break up, and not to mention... I feel like Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Yuu sort of fell into their dynamic almost immediately after the mine adventure and didn't ever stop to think about it because of how natural the friendship felt. And Ace knows if things end badly he's losing the whole squad, so yeah. Better to just swallow this and stay where he is. He's still in school! He doesn't need to think about dating! He's got a housewarden to surpass, upperclassmen he admires, and a bunch of idiots to take care of. He can worry about dating later. Besides, these feelings will go away after graduation he's delusional sure of it!!!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch Ramshackle Yuu is literally in a living hell. Maybe they're a bit more emotionally mature than Ace and they just know this could work out but THEY CAN'T TELL IF HE LIKES THEM BACK BECAUSE HE KEEPS GETTING SHY AND MAKING JOKES FML!!!! But like he also lets them steal his gym shirt :ccc and he gets pouty when someone else makes an offer :ccc and really smug when Yuu says no ccc: so like maaaybe? Or maybe not and this meaningless flirting is all they'll ever have and they just. Try to be ok with it and they sort of hate themselves for it.
until Sebek properly joins the friend group and looses his fucking shit

jake sully
this man was a human in his previous life, he knows what the fuck he was doing
when you got your period in the middle of work, jake (with his strong avatar senses) caught a scent of you
he asked norm where they keep women's pads and norm pointed to where they were
he got some pads and getting a few more stuff that you liked
some chocolate bar, a venti cup of coffee/juice/tea, and a heating pad
you were surprised when he stood beside you with said stuff in his hands
then you finally got the idea
oooooooohhhhh… is it that time already?
yes, baby girl. but don’t worry, i’ll help you
he goes with you until you reach the lady's comfort room
he gives you the pads and tells you to holler for him if you need anything else
waits for you while you do your thing
younger!jake would rock back and forth on his feet and bite off the skin of his lips (a habit i canon him of having) while he waited by the door
older!jake would go to get the stuff he forgot if he forgets and comes back before you knew he even left
once you were done, he suggests you take a rest now before the cramps start
you told norm this and being the great friend he was, he lets you go rest
jake would be there for you like your personal cocoon
he would massage you abdomen, lower back, head, or wherever you felt pain in
would get you whatever that is you need
just honestly the best in the bunch since he knew what human women go through
Tumblr media
neteyam sully
you yo daddy’s son !!!11!1!!
but for real, he’s like a mini jake with neytiri’s face and her nurturing aura
he learned how to care for human girls because of his dad
literally cried when you first got your period since he thought you were dying
but jake reassures him it’s a normal thing human girls go through (since na’vi girls and women don’t go through this | i agree with the fanon that na’vi women don’t get periods)
would learn basic human anatomy just so he understands what was happening during your periods
kinda scared because of the side effects of periods
would do anything and everything just for you to be comfortable during your monthly bleeds
since na’vi bodies were a lot warmer, he uses his hands as heating pads to put over your abdomen
would purr when you’re on his chest as he massages your lower back
sings his songcord to you to lull you to sleep
kisses are a must with this man
would litter you with kisses to make you smile and feel better
he just loves you :ccc
Tumblr media
lo’ak sully
obviously, like neteyam, he knows that human girls get their period
he’s similar to neteyam but a bit different in his approach to periods
he didn’t really know what he was supposed to do at first
like, should he massage you or should he not because it might worsen your pain
do you like chips or chocolate more?
what pussy size you got because there are so many pad sizes—
tAMPONS ARE A THING WHAT—
lowkey scared of that thing and why tf does it go in?!>!?!
still, his effort counts really
it’s the thought that counts
he still helps you around (even with the smallest thing like grabbing a cup of water)
would follow your commands especially when the pain is unbearable and you need assistance
he would stay with you in your room even when you sleep just in case you wake up and need help (even if you told him it’s okay to go home and rest. he insists on staying)
would go to norm and ask for extra gas air when he runs out of it
would bring you some pandora fruits because weirdly, you crave them more than the regular food you eat
would treat you greatly 1000/10
Tumblr media
tonowari
like his son, he didn’t know what periods are so he asks his friend jake about it
upon learning what they were, he immediately goes into his ‘teddy bear’ mode
he would be cuddly as fuck
like  c u d d l y  cuddly
a cuddle bug for sure
he would always bring you fresh food to eat
would help around your home despite being a busy man himself
would treat you as if you were a porcelain doll
would weave you a reusable period underwear (with the help of ronal) so you can just clean them and reuse them
would do your laundry and wouldn’t be bothered by the blood stains at all
when you need him (especially when you’re a lot emotional), he would stay with you until you feel better
doesn’t matter if you fell asleep. he will do his duties once you wake up and say that you’re feeling better
only then he would be comfortable enough to leave to tend to his duties
would ask tsireya and ronal to look after you especially when he’s a lot busier and can’t go to you physically
overall like my man jake but a lot more domestic
would recommend to everyone
Tumblr media
ao’nung
he didn’t understand what a period is and why you got them because he didn’t care at first
you’re a sky person, the cause of distruction
but you were different (or whatever jake sully and his kids say)
but the more time he spent with you, he must at least learn what you go through, being your period
it was weird that you had to go through this every month until you become old
like, his mom and sister never got these so why were your kind cursed with them?
would ask jake or his kids what he can do to help you out
you stayed in a makeshift house with regular oxygen so you can eat without having the stupid mask on
ao’nung literally didn’t like the mask he has to breathe pandora air in but after one time that he didn’t use them, he didn’t like the feeling so he uses them religiously when he’s with you
he would bring you gifts and meals he caught so you don’t feel too isolated when you don’t leave your home
would ask you constantly what you were feeling and if you feel uncomfortable at every moment of the day
are you okay? does you abdomen hur—
i’m fine ao’nung!!
would still ask for confirmation if you’re really really okay
would carry you every time you leave your house (even if you went out to walk and stretch your legs)
shy with physical affection (hugs, kisses) so the most he can do is carry you
call it his love language in a way
Tumblr media
rotxo
he was absolutely lost when he sees you bleeding. like neteyam, he thought you were dying
he thought he would never see you again
but when you explained that human women bleeding was normal, he was like:
dude, that must suck so bad
it does, rotxo, it does
but still, he wants to help you out the best way he can
like the other metkayina men here, he would bring you food to eat and bring little trinkets to make you feel better
since metkayina bodies were a lot cooler than omatikaya bodies but still warmer than human bodies, he does his best to warm you up
he stays with you as much as he can just so he can help you
craving for a certain fruit? he’ll get it for you
need a soothing cream from ronal? he will get it for you
you feel tired? he can go into your home, use the stupid-looking gas mask to breathe and stay with you longer, and keep you company
he’s just a sweetheart man give him compliments pls

A looming presence... (A piece of fan art for Episode 11 of the Christmas Comeback Crisis)
Read more for an essay on all the memes and references ;)
So here it is. Finally. Only one month too late: This piece of CCC fan art I've worked on since the episode came out.
Sorry for the delay, but I just started at my new job this week and it's been a little stressful, so I didn't have much time to work on this. But now it's finally here!!! I gotta say, the hardest part by far was the background, lol. I didn't mean for it to escalate that much. At the end I was honestly running out of memes to draw.
I bet we can all agree that episode 11 of the Christmas Comeback Crisis was so worth the wait, right???? My god. Peak entertainment. I still can't believe I'm getting all this awesome lore and music for free, feels kinda criminal.
I'm so invested in this story, it's unreal. I can't wait to see how it will end. I can already tell it's gonna be pretty emotional. (And not to alarm anyone, but I have a slight feeling that the Voice is not gonna make it out of this story arc alive. I mean, after everything he's done, it's safe to say that he kinda deserves it. Of course I really don't want him to die, cause that would mean…….. Woodman would also have to die??? Otherwise the Voice will just keep coming back again and again because Woodman is keeping his memory alive…….. Oh man wait a moment….. I don't even want to think about that. Forget I said anything about this.)
Anyway, let's talk about this piece of art for a moment.
In the foreground, we have our brave protagonists. I really really like how Nozomi turned out, so I decided to make her my new icon from now on. Don't get me wrong, I love my old icon, but it's kinda zoomed out and you can't really make out any details when it's really small. So Nozomi it is. Meta Knights sword was shockingly difficult to draw, especially because I had to figure out how to draw it when he's holding it at an angle like that. Otherwise, drawing him was actually one of the easiest things about this whole thing. His design is really just two circles with some arms and armor. Figuring out how the circle tool in Gimp works has never felt this good. (Kinda crazy I can just draw him like this now, considering how obsessed with him I was when I was about 12-13 years old. Back then you had to download official renders of your favorite characters onto your computer, then print them out and hang them on your walls all around your room. Yeah I've always been like this.) Drawing Santa was really fun too, just his right hand was a little difficult. But that's just because I still can't draw hands in general. Maybe I should practice drawing hands more. (Naaaaaah I'm just kidding, I'll never do that.) Now that I'm looking at him again, he's also longingly staring at President Haltmann in the background. Doomed yaoi fr.
Speaking of the background, let's talk about that next. There's obviously the title-giving "looming presence" the Voice. I had his hands completely in the background at first, but I thought it looked cooler when they were hanging threateningly around Santa's shoulders. (You may ask yourself, 'man these hands look kinda alright for my usual hand drawing standards', and that is because I traced over pictures of my own hands. I love "cheating" at art.) I also gave him his stupid little bow tie and the colored buttons on his suit sleeves. Not only is that kinda my trademark for drawing him at this point, it's also supposed to show, that under all the threats and the evil villain persona, he's just kind of a loser. A real (male equivalent of a) girlfailure. That's why I made sure that half of the things shown in the background are there to make fun of him a little. I love the Voice dearly, but that's just what felt right.
And now let's get to the actual main course of this essay. I probably spent half the time working on this on the freaking background. I'm just gonna start in the top left corner and then go down each column and explain what each of these mean or what they reference. (Since there are some quite obscure ones in there.)
Let's start with the two ponies in the very top left. They're actually ponysonas of Nozomi Tojo (left) and Takane Shijou (right). Nozomi is an earth pony and has a tarot card as her cutie mark, specifically the ace of cups. Takane on the other hand is a unicorn and has some musical notes as her cutie mark, which you can't really see. I don't know enough about the Idolmaster to think of something more meaningful for her, sorry. ;)
Under that are Susie Haltmann and her father, President Haltmann. They were (after Woodman) the first characters I wanted to draw into the background. Susie has this black bar covering her face, since she was never really there to begin with. The whole story line with her father wanting to bring her back was actually so freaking sad. And when the Voice killed him in episode 11 and that image of Susie flashed on screen as the last thing he saw before he died….. Oof……… That's also why I drew that cursor looming next to her "window" about to click on the closing button. Haltmann himself is also the only character in the background to actually leave his little window, wanting to reach his daughter. He's also glaring at the Voice for causing him all of this grief and anger in the first place with his false promises.
Then there's…. ahem, "Hot robots in your area". With drawings of a random unnamed robot and Mettaton from Undertale. Which the Voice has apparently bookmarked. This is just a head canon, but I like to think he has a thing for robots, lol. ;)
Oh and on the left next to that on the very first column is Simpleflips' logo. Shoutouts to Simpleflips indeed.
Onto the next column. At the very top is Haruka Amami (also from the Idolmaster), who played a pretty huge role in the CCC, especially in the latest episode. That moment at the very end where she saved Grand Dad from certain death was just fantastic. Absolutely goated scene. She's kinda pressing her face against the window she's trapped in. I hope you can even see that from far away, haha.
Under that is one of the more obscure references. It's from a King for Another Day video, specifically one titled "The Hobart Hootenanny - SiIvaGunner: King for Another Day". It's a slideshow made of beautiful Hobart pictures. One that struck me personally the most was a little family picture of Hobart and the rapper Eminem, who was also a contestant in the KfAD tournament, looking lovingly over their son sitting in a cradle. Eminem is seen saying "Our son is beutiful". A truly touching photograph indeed. In that same slideshow is also another scene of Hobart together with the Voice, but we'll talk about that one later.
The next one is a reference to the CCC side story "I wanna thank me" and shows a pie chart with the election results that were discussed in that episode. Under the pie chart itself is a little box containing all the different parties and showing their respective percentages. On the left is a poster for the "Poké Poké Literature Party", showing Monika's head with the words "Just vote Monika" at the top of the poster. The words (and Misha.) are scribbled on the bottom, lest we forget that she's not running this party alone. This side story was first featured in the Christmas Comeback Crisis Watchalong in 2020, which was actually the first time I watched the CCC in its entirety. It all went downhill from there. ;)
Then there's the Voice's… thing? Object? Weird apparatus where no one really knows what it does or what its purpose is? Every time we see the Voice sitting in his office, this thing is sitting on his desk right next to him. There's been loads of jokes about its purpose. They've all been made before. I'm not going to repeat them. Only the Voice himself truly knows what this thing does. Probably. Could just be a decorative piece of art.
Then we have something veeeery self indulgent on the next column. It's Aquaman from Megaman 8 (With a not so subtle skull right next to him). You should all know by now that I'm the founding father of the Aquawood ship. And I also have the head canon that Woodman and the Voice are very divorced. Interpret into this whatever you want.
Next to Aquaman is the internets' favorite panel from the web comic Tails Gets Trolled. I fucking love that comic. If you haven't read it in its entirety, I highly recommend doing it. (Though be warned that it contains some pretty heavy topics, many many slurs and a plethora of gore.) Okay, maybe I don't recommend reading it. (Just read it with all of that in mind.)
Under that is a personal favorite joke of mine. It's supposed to be Spotify, with a playlist open that I created some time ago. I called it "Die Pizza Playlist" (Remember that die in German is just "the") which I always listen to when I'm baking my own pizza. Highlights include "Pizza" by Antilopen Gang, "Pizza Heroes" by Lemon Demon (You can actually see the album art for Spirit Phone on the left of the playlist.), "Pizza Pizza Pizza" from the Ratatouille musical and so on and so on. The first song in the playlist is obviously "We like pizza" by the Pizza kids, which is even playing in the image. On the side are two more music artists, at the bottom is the image for the Veggie Tales soundtrack, which also featured a song called "Pizza Angel". And over that is Mitski. I just feel like the Voice would listen to her music. Do not question me on this.
The audience laughs at the funny 7.
On the Voice's left shoulder sits a single green bean. It's flashing you a cheeky grin and a peace sign. While I didn't intend for this to happen, I accidentally referenced my own Woodman birthday gallery art from two years ago, where the bean also sits atop the Voice's shoulder. I know that next to "Yankin'", the bean is one of the most hated memes on SiIva, but I think he's just a silly little guy! :D
Let's head on over to the next column. Seems like the Voice has an incoming call from one of his guards, but he's ignoring it as he has more important things to do, like hovering intimidatingly over Santa Claus.
Next to that window on the right are the Voice's messages. I almost wrote "messanges". That would have been embarrassing, thank god I caught that in time. This is also (yet again) a little self indulgent, since the Voice apparently has the last message he sent Woodman pinned to the very top of his messenger app. His big triangular head is blocking most of it, but since I'm the artist, I can tell you exactly what it says: "Please call me back", which was sent on February 1st 2023, the day "The Disappearance of Woodman" was released. Yeah, I'm still very upset, how could you tell? :( Under that is a message to his trusty pizza guy asking for a pizza with extra cheese.
Next we have two of my favorite memes on the SiIvagunner channel (My absolute favorite being "Funny budots", since I never wrote that down anywhere.), one being Frisk Undertale becoming uncanny and the other one being the goat. I don't really know how to describe the goat, but apparently it was crafted by the same artist who made the stoned fox that's also very popular online?? I may just be stupid, but I didn't know about that until I looked up a reference for the goat. Since it often appears alongside Undertale and Deltarune, many have made the assumption that this is what Asriel would look like in real life. That's why Flowey is there next to it with an equal sign. Whoever drew up that calculation wasn't really sure of their work, which is why they drew a question mark right next to it. Between Frisk and the goat is a little Soul, also from Undertale/Deltarune.
Onto the next column, where I'm dropping very subtle hints that a specific character in this image might like pizza. Or might even be a little obsessed with it. On the left is a list with the contact details of three well known pizza chains, on the very top is Sonic the Hedgehog who just recently became a brand ambassador for Totino's and on the bottom right of this section is a flyer for some kind of pizza sale.
The next window contains my favorite joke of any rip on the entire SiIvaGunner Youtube Channel. "Peepoona 5. Let us shart the pants." Just typing this out is making me die of laughter yet again. (The rip in question is "Our Beginning - Persona 5".) But as you all know, I am very into toilet humor. That's why Aquaman is one of my favorite robot masters. And why I'm such a big fan of Youtube Poop. And why I watch Minion fart gun religiously. But enough of that, you get what I'm trying to say. I love funny poop jokes. That's why this is here.
Oh man. This next one is why I wanted to write this very detailed essay in the first place. A reference so obscure, even I can't find its origin anymore. And believe me, I tried. Thankfully, I took a screenshot of the original comment thread this was based on. A user called "The New Guy" commented on a SiIvaGunner rip, something along the lines about how much they enjoyed this specific rip. At the time, the comment had 920 likes, so I'm guessing it must have been a pretty popular video. (The comment should also be about 4 years old now?) Anyway, under that comment, someone asks them what their profile picture was from. They simply answered "wagon", since that was exactly what their profile picture showed. Someone on the SiIvaGunner team must have found this exchange so funny that they commented "wagon" as well. And that's the origin of this joke. If anyone knows which rip this is from pleeeeaaaase tell me. I need to know.
I don't think I need to explain who the next guy is. Just the love of my life. I specifically drew Woodman in his getup from the Nuclear Winter Festival, since that was the last time he appeared on the channel. He's looking kinda concerned in the general direction of the viewer, for obvious reasons. And right under him is his trademarked >:] emoji.
And last but certainly not least, the final column! Now I finally get to talk about this other scene from the Hobart Hootenanny. It shows Hobart and the Voice having a romantic stroll at a beautiful beach, while the sun is slowly setting in the background, making the water shimmer with its breathtaking colors. Okay, the last thing didn't really happen, since it's a shitty MS Paint drawing, but I like to imagine it did. Maybe I should draw a remake of this image one day. Now I'd like to quote the video in question: "A man and Hobart were walking together on the beach. He looked back and saw that in his times of sadness and need, there was only one set of footprints. He asked Hobart why he would leave him in his time of most need. Hobart simply turned to the man and said, VVVVVRRRRR SRRRRR RRRRGGGHHHH--" (Thank you SiIva Wiki for the transcription.) Now I don't think I need to explain why I drew Hobart in a bikini top and fishnets. The question answers itself.
The next image is actually quite easy to explain. It's mm5charge and smol Maki. In another universe, Chargeman and Maki might have been integral to the SiIvaGunner lore. This specific image is just stolen from my piece of fan art called "Megaman 5 Brainrot (featuring Acidman)", which I posted in 2022. I still head canon that Megaman and Love Live take place in the same universe. Just because I think it's funny. And because I want to see funny robot masters interact with the girlies from Love Live. How do I explain this? It's like…. balancing out the world? The robot masters are almost all male (with a few exceptions) and the characters shown in Love Live are all female. How would Thanos say? "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be." Don't question my cool head canons, okay?
After that we have a poster featuring the Jazz Cats! I really really love the little animations that showed their backstory when KfAD2 first came out. I don't know if it's okay for me to say this, but I also really really enjoy the song "But Not You" written (in universe) by Doge and Naxx. The text is veeeeeeery questionable, but man, does it sound good regardless… And shoutouts to wolfman1405 for the heavenly vocals.
On the right of that is a missing poster for Wade L.D.. Nothing much to explain here I guess.
Left of that is the Voices shopping list, which lists flour, oil, yeast… Wait a minute…. All of these are ingredients for pizza dough! Guys, I'm beginning to think that this guy might like pizza.
On the very bottom of this column is Mario 7 Grand Dad himself, who has his hostile gaze directed at the Voice. I would be pissed off too if someone kept me locked in a glass tube for 7 years.
The last little window just shows the Vineshroom with the words "fecal funny" written under it.
And with that, it is done. The entire background thoroughly explained. (I may have gone a little overboard this time.)
It's been a while since I posted new art, huh? In the meantime, a lot has happened. As I said before, I started a new job, got a tattoo of Woodman on my leg (best idea I've ever had btw) and I also started watching MLP, which explains the Love Live / Idolmaster ponysonas, lol.
And that's all I wanted to say. I hope that the next piece of art isn't that far off. Jenny out. (I think this might have been the longest essay I've ever written here. I'm so sorry. By which I mean, I'm not sorry at all. I'm not forcing anyone to read this.)

Tho I can’t say anything, I was trying to leave a club at 3:40am and they started playing CCC and I fucking RAN back to the dance floor like the clown I am 🤡
But yeah, I bet he sent a bunch of ”this brings me back memories, I wish you were here 😔😔” messages to Jere and at least 5 videos of people still losing their minds over CCC 🥹

* You've launched the game. There was a black screen for a minute or more. Finally, the game has opened. But there's something weird in menu. New episode? Glitches?? And who are these two?
Tumblr media
*Oh, there's a record. Would you like to listen?
» yes no
"Welcome to the corrupted timeline. Do you wonder what's going on, don't you? There's something called the Anomaly. It changes reality and it has a control over it. A strong control. Well, the only thing I can say about it, that all of this is fault of someone who works for organization that shouldn't be mentioned actually. Never thought it could be a real mess... I've seen and heard everything. But I can't tell about it all or he'll find me... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

* The record interrupts and the only thing you can hear is glitch high pitched noises.
Here's another one old artwork of mine featuring my AU. I've tried to make a parody of the start screen of the game. And yeah, you can see my characters there. It's Jessica BlackBerry and Mark Broks - the CCC workers, who's in charge for fixing timeline anomaly that occured because of Mark's mistake. He's a newbie and he... Accidentally messed up a lot...

Would Han's Noble Phantasm be able to permanently change someone outside of the Moon Cell? For example would Shinji have been able to make himself into a super mage with Magic Circuits surpassing Rin's? Or would Shinji's ideal self be something else in Han's standards.
Yeah, Marchen Meines Lebens has nothing to do with the Mooncell. The circumstances that allowed for Kiara's demonization were:
BB making her inner moon where the weeks of the Grail War don't pass, compensating for the drawback of Andersen being a really slow writer.
Kiara being a super interesting person, compensating for the drawback that Andersen needs inspiration to write a protagonist.
As for whether an ultimate Shinji would be possible, I think the chances are slim. Shinji's workaround to Andersen's slow pen is his ability to lie low. Fate/stay night starts with both Shinji and Sakura out of Rin's radar. If he continues to keep quiet, he has a chance.
The problem is the need to give Andersen inspiration. A huge core of Andersen's characterization is that he hates entitled people, so Shinji will have to grow up if he wants to become his ideal. Andersen will make him work for it, even if through scheming in the background like Kiara did. The Matou family background is decent drama material, but it's also unarguably unsympathetic, so a main character Shinji would need to challenge Zouken for Andersen to be able to write an acceptable story.
But the main problem with Andersen in Fate/stay night is that every route in that game lasted 15 days. Kiara's demonization happened at the end of CCC. CCC is set in a time bubble placed at the end of EXTRA's 5th week, and it shows Hakuno ultimately reaching the 20th floor of the Sakura Labirynth but exploring one floor per day if I recall that correctly. So with a top-tier source of inspiration like Kiara, he took at least 55 days to finish the book. Shinji is good at laying low from enemy Masters, but can he last 55+ days while overturning the Matou family structure and when he's expected to be the last opponent Master left by day 16?

Hiii, it's me again, I'm back for more !! ^_^ (Hanako and Kou baking donuts person btw !!)
Since becoming a ghost, Hanako has had difficulty feeling things - physically feeling things, that is. His translucent hands fade through everything, and it takes quite a bit of willpower to make objects move. Fifty years, he's been isolated from touch completely. Hanako is mostly used to it, by now, and yet ... he still finds himself yearning for a warm touch.
He lets his hands fall loose, like a puppet. It's not like they have any use anymore, anyway. Now that he's dead, his hands are mostly used for expression. They "work," yeah, but he can't feel. A permanent layer between him and the world of the living. Like a sheer glove.
And then Nene and Kou come along.
Hanako can barely contain his excitement - it's been so long since he's felt anything but the chill of death. Nene's hair is soft and silky, and he likes braiding and styling it. The texture reminds him of his mother, a bit.
And Kou - Kou is exceptionally warm. He likes to lay his head on his shoulder and ruffle his golden hair. Feel his soft breathing as his chest slowly rises and falls. When he presses their palms together, he can nearly feel Kou's pulse - almost as if it's his own. The steady rythym of his still beating heart is a massive soother for Hanako. Besides, he gets to trace the scars on the kid's palm. Ironically, they look almost like sparks of lightning.
Basically, Hanako is touch starved, and that's why he's like that. Like Tsukasa, I think he'd love to hang off of people as much as he could, if they'd allow it.
Sorry, this is kind of long ... ( ゚ε゚;)
Also, I apologize if this is ooc !!
NAHHHH IT ISNT OOC AT ALL I WAS ACTUALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS!!! AUGHHSUGHH YOURE A MIND READER OH MY GODDDD
While I was writing my fic I was thinking about how Hanako's sense of touch was pretty shit (given he can't perceive temperate well) and I STRUGGLED to find the pretty words to describe them but YOU DID THAT SO PERFECTLY HERE CCC: HANAKO OVERCOMPENSATING HIS SENSORY ISSUES BY BEING AS HANDS ON AS POSSIBLE WITH THE PEOPLE HE LOVES IS SOOO GOOD!! AUAGHSUHHHB IM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH THIS IS SO SWEET

*comes in and sits down politely on your floor* Would you be able to share with us anything about Jhostin and your mafia faction? Maybe even a couple of things about your Toppat OCs? I am very curious about this band of people you've got hehe, their designs are just amazing!
Okey dokie okie dokie okie dokie -explodes-
-sits politely - sit and prepare yourself for the rant
but first (and i apologize if some stuff is hard to understand, english is not the best thing with me so I STRUGGLE to explain my ideas in this language ough)
this thing is very loooong so yeah
To get to Jhostin lore, I'll start with the mafia guys. Lightpathers are an asian-american mafia, they also go by The SL(Sen-dero-Lumi-noso, i feel like addibg lines i don't want to trigger Tumblr's anger), which is a reference a te-rro-rist group that had a big impact in my country (Perú), which i would recommend reading about a bit! As It IS a just a reference to this group, this mafia is not a harsh as how this disgusting people were. They just are kind of a small confederance of guys that got high enough to want to set a new order in the world. Not entirely but thats how i joke about them.
The SL has a different distribution of power, there are actually 7 leaders, (Joaquín is not one! But is like the right hand of Arcturus and the one who calculates almost everything), and have been hidden years, the main head of 'Deleting the CCC and making this timeline ours and taming chaos and oh god im SO high' is Yuang Yang. AND!! A way to distinguish a SL member, is by something really special, they either wear a golden ring with a star of four points or an earring of the same star! (in case of one of the leaders, she wears earrings of many pearls but its because she wanted not to copy others)
(But after being traumatized dying and dying and nobody remembering past timelines, he ends using the CCC arsenal against the same last universe he's living on, because at the end, he is also a complete believer that stronger ones survive, and to erradicate CCC, there must be more sacrificing that he at first intended. CCC can't do nothing, because murdering people who doesnt cause chaos, is not actually something they can fix, but they are put at edge, because Yuang forces the CCC to see, the worst outcome of their actions [or what he considers the worst but it still works out]
i hc some sticks do only exist in certain timelines, this is why, Yuang has never existed in a succesful timeline. And also it's like universe is a big pc, where you have many back-ups but no way to restore these, as same as some sticks can only exist/live in certain timelines, is at same some sticks can not longer exist after their mother timeline is wiped off, and, mother timeline is and can't be considered an ending for these sticks, because it is stated they'll always live in this one (right? they will always live on this one, right?).
Yuang Yang, 70yo asian stick, he's an anomaly, because he's been able to keep his memories through the timelines and reached a conclusion (which i talked with Saisk before in a ramble), this is his final timeline and so of the other leaders. He founded the SL on all the past timelines we visit with Henry in the games, but he never succeded ar all (cuz he happened to just exist with the other leaders and The SL ONLY in the ones we fail, which are A LOT.) -> So what is an anomaly, is how I call Henry, and the sticks who are able to understand the time and reality (CCC are just built different), or have different powers (which is what rises chaos levels). Yuang has died and lived so many times to realize he's literally on the last rectangle of life, given being an anomaly gets you one simple symptomp -> The Weird Dreams, dreaming about stuff where you have options, places and things you can create. The reality here can be a bit Wicked and hard to understand, ;_;. But dreams are the symptomp of having more control(chaos) than you should have. This after Yuang spent his entire (last)youth investigating and getting to certain conclusions.
Yuang is a key character in my au, because he's the main reason why everything happens. He did admired how Henry, an anomaly like he, like Alexandrovna, like Carlo, Like Arcturus and other leaders, was able to control his power so completely (the fact Henry connects two timelines in FtC, given you have either calling Gov or Toppats but arent you in other timeline already?, he is able to manipulate reality at his own will), but he didnt like that even if everything goes on, for some reason Henry does always follow what he wants. Yuang is a character that has been and has been always there, never actually lived an Ending, which he knows exists, but he happens to die! For some reason something happens! For some reason each time you fail the Game it's like the world disssppears and the screams and the chaos! And you wake up again, breathing rapidly, but Yuang has always woken up from this nightmare in his youth (20yo), Henry events happens when he's like 70 years, so you get it. He had time, and he realized the CCC was always there (and has always been there) as the one entity that controls everything, because "You all not know how easy are we to wipe off! How easy is it for them to press a buttom and get rid of us! Because of some stupid inestability."
Yuang hates and despises CCC for this Main reason, and has always questioned the reasons and actions of Henry (he only admires the power), he has never talked to him, but he keeps wondering if Henry is aware that everytime he fails and starts again, he doesnt know The destruction this causes. He does wonder, hes just a guy who ended making a big high to heavens idea. And his plan is just getting rid of the CCC and 'doing correctly' what Henry couldnt. Saving this timeline, saving his comrades, saving this people.
Oksana Alexandrovna Karenina, 51 years old russian stick, even if old she has aged like wine. A powerful woman, who covers her scars because showing theses is like showing weakness, she is straight but supportive. And has been given mind control powers (in this one, the variant that kills, like she literally can stare at you and force you to shut down because you happened to annoy her) and here is where you won't longer like Yuang, Alexandrovna powers were helpful! She actually wanted to travel as a biologist, and got to be able to talk with animals thelepathically, she was a very happy woman until a strange man appeared in her journeys, and she was kind of brainwashed, Yuang would totally sometimes sent heists and this involves killing, Alexandrovna disliked the whole idea of killing another one, it was, terrifying for her. She loved life, and Yuang just, with his great way of talking and brainwashing with words, no need of power, told her she didnt have to wash her hands in blood, she could easily, you know, kill them by breaking their mind, and yeah, the young woman didnt want to, but Yuang would push and push this idea until she just did it, and ended going down into the hole. She then became a narcissist woman who can't acept her own errors, and deep inside her heart, she still just wants to be out in the nature and talk with animals, deep inside her cold heart, she never wanted this. But she also realized this was her last timeline, she can't afford thinking about the mass destruction, she might have ended killing innocents, but no, she's not into causing a huge massacre. And she has a crush on Carlo, since so time ago, since they met…sighs…pain.
So, leaders do have the dreams about selecting options and stuff, but not actually go and do it, its a dream they live, we call it dream bc is them living in this timeline, until it is shut off and they face utter destruction. Yuang has no power to make things, he knows he can see options, he can see diferent paths, but never actually get to do it, in fact, its like ghost pain, its like the leaders know they can select, but for some reason it feels this power and options are very away from them, which in comparison to Henry, he does have the abillity to choose. And has the abillity to everything.
Yuang's power is actually hiding himself or cloaking, in a way, he can temporarily erase his own presence during certain period and make other sticks do not see or remember he was/is there. But when time is over, he is there again and the other sticks are left confused, because ''Boss, weren't you here before?'', But more than that, Yuang is gifted with having the abillity of remembering his past lives, where he knows he always dies because either toppats become so powerful or for some reason everything glitches out and damn . (Also to understand how it feels getting erased and how it feels timelines died, i suggest reading Robot Dreams from Isaac Asimov! its a good book! good stories! but there is one specially which can get you to get the feeling of it) Back to powers and stuff. we got the other guys who are not yet developed completely, Yuang got most of the lore by now, but it'll write down everything about them.
Carlo Horner Hershell, 54 yo american liutenant, general, sargeant, okey idk, hes same rank as Galeforce, but most everyone got used to call him Lt Carlo/Horner. He was enlisted in the forces by his father, he has always been so tall for others, out of his prom he was the tallest (210cm). Thing here is, Yuang studied and was a professor temporarily in America, but lived his childhood and teenhood in Asia, so he met young Carlo, because this last one asked to be allowed to get studies on a normal university at the same time he studied in the forces and served them (like doing double career, double university), this was permitted (also he is same age as Galeforce and both met and were besties, mhm, besties, roomates, omg they were roomates). Carlo's power is more like his body is the one of a predator? He has a pretty much normal power, just his senses are highened, at first he was only able to distinguish smells, but oh, hey Galeforce i just had one my professors of physics replaced by this weird one, he smells like ciggarretes. Yet for some reason Carlo was so invested in what Yuang taught, his classes were few, he was always travelling, always here and there, so having a lecture by him, was something special, and boy he did have lot of students, yet Yuang always was interested in Carlo, eventually they shared more than just lectures. Again, Yuang is a mastermind of brainwashing and so did Harlo got brainwashed, he still was the same easy-going idiot, who loved doing pranks, but weirdly enough as years went by his sense were more highened than normal, he got called "Bloody Horner", because even for being such a happy guy, he is very strict with his actions and orders, and hes also much of a fist fighter, he doesnt thinks twice when it comes about his enemy. He is more gay than any honor, having a crush (what a story) with Galeforce but then just ending like besties, Carlo is an old man (he dyes his hair to look young, let him be) and yeah, he loves men (im still debating but he screams gayness in all his spirit) and keeps feeling bad when Alexandrovna does the obvious enamoured gaze at him, because he somehow feels its so aching to be never able to correspond that love. He works in the north part of America! but time to time gets transfered back to be with his ol pal Galeforce. I often see him teaching Rupert or the Bukowski twins when he has the opportunity, he likes to test their abillities. He uses a ring of the star! and has a tongue piercing.
Arcturus Gutierrez, or more like ''Sargento Arturito'', he got his face burnt when a granade was thrown at him, hes 67yo, and loves drinking a shot of whiskey before starting a mission. Hes born in Mexico and loves his homeland, but ended joining the forces because he was kind of interested in meeting the superstar soldier who can't be beaten (aka, Carlo), he then ended travelling mostly to America because of this. He never got too much into the countries conflicts, in fact, he just happened to meet Yuang when he was on a normal airplane, there was this man who started talking with him and about how hard is being a professor and also an "investigator". As the other leaders, brainwash because i would add more text to this answer than i intend to. Hes like an old man, looks older than Yuang and sometimes uses a staff to be able to stand or walk. He also uses not an earring or ring, instead his uniform belt has a star form in the center. He's your old man, would make you a coffee and give you some tacos, why not. He and Joaquín are besties, where he just treats Joaquín as his own child (given he happened to have no wife no kids, just loneliness), and well his entire division are his small children. He babysits young soldiers like a good grandpa. He's the leader who is most neutral towars Yuang's fucked up ideas,,
The other leaders are still on the way of being designed! But you can tell where there are going to be :D, Alexandrovna dictates the plans of Europe, Carlo, the ones of America and Arcturus the ones of Latinoamerica, while Yuang the ones of Asia, but he also leads hidden heists around the world. He took as much advantage of the toppats being the spot of the eye for some many years, like damn, he got all the time he needed in this last timeline. Everything takes place in the ending of Triple Threat au wah. A bit after. who knows. who knows.
And from the side of Alexandrovna, the SL have a deep connection with the Wall :) (the first idea was actually making the Wall a new mafia like Toppats but i didnt like much the idea, i prefered them being a connection to a more bigger mafia/clan)
Oh And Joaquín!, hes a lovely boy! :D, he's very good at managing number and stuff, of course each leader has their respective rhm (the army of rhms), Joaquín is Arcturus' right hand, hes a communications guy and liason among all the leaders, more like the top right hand in the mafia/clan. Don't trust his smile, he'll absolutely blast a bomb without knowing, hes a bit silly. Hes always present in the leader's meeting, and the only right hand that takes participations on the plans, the others are not allowed to join the meetings.
Okie dokie we go with the other right hand, that is Soveigna!, believe or not, shes prob one of the most important character for this au, she is another anomaly with powers similar to Alexandrovna (there is a reason why she is her right hand), she ended blind at young age and lived mostly on darkness until she was found and she was given biotechnological eyes, she is muted selectively but she does speaks if needed. She's very strange, very quiet, always looking around, she has the weird dreams but can't remember them completely, its more like she wakes up and has memories of weird stuff that has been affecting her integrity, she never uses her powers only if she needs aid, she's like a beacon. (I like to think about powers a lot, but yeah Yuang did totally go into looking only for anomalies to join him, like toppats, toppats united cant be defeated!) Soveigna and Jhostin are very much togueter, being sent on spy missions togueter, she pilots and knows how to do her job perfectly. When the chaos started (thanks Yuang you crazy ass) she ended stuck in America, trying to escape with Jhostin they ended leaving the place but Soveigna received the order of flying away, and she never breaks an order. Jhostin didnt want to leave the entire country because what about the otehr guys! Their clan! What is happening? and he won't get an answer.
Jhostin is a silly boy!!! I love him so muchhhh ough, he lost his parents thanks to the SL, he never knew about this, he was 8 years old and ended orphan inside a house, alone, Dmitri and Grigori were sent to said house to raise this kid by orders from above. Jhostin was born in europe in such a cold place,his parents lived in the village that was the nearest to the Wall, at first he didnt like Dmitri and Grigori and tbh, these two were not good at raising a child. They were mostly, confused and stressed out and instead made Jhostin train and train until he becomes such a good soldier because they didnt know how to deal with a kid. Even though, they have never failed to look after his health or his studies, so yeah, they tried but it never justifies how shit they were and they have acepted Jhostin will never forgive them because making a child learn how to use a knife, is something unforgiving. Anyways, during Jhostin adolescence he met who is called His Brother, Dear Zar, they never got along, they just hated each other and tahts the story. Jhostin has a tendency of hissing and hes very close minded about opening to others, Dmitri and Grigori never mentioned about the SL, lets say they did care a little bit, but ironically Jhostin leaves and ends joining The Sl, the ones who killed his parents. He might look very serious and dangerous, he is! but he is good, and always prefers him being the one who ends with blood on his hands than others, because somehow he looks at beginners, everyone of the clan as smaller siblings and he has always had this older brotherly personality. He is a spy because hes so hard to spot, his movements are so wise, not making a simple noise, like a snake that doesnt hiss, like a tiguer ready to get his prey, and his machete is his bestie, he also has learnt muay thai and boxing, he's master when it comes to these two fighting arts. He takes care of Soveigna like if she is his very own sister, he adores her and always listens to her when she wants to say something, she is one of his motivations to continue, and the why he is always sure all missions are successful, she has taken the best out of him.
and yeah the other right hands are also being designed, because i tend to put much effort into their descriptions, maybe too much.
Either way, you've asked about the Jhostin, I shall give you Jhostin, I know you love him, He Appreaciates The Love.
Jhostin is 167cm tall, kinda small for a man, his eyes are big and evil, dangerous, his scars were a gift from Zar and from past missions were he failed to protect himself correctly. He has more scars on his torso and so, his favorite dessert is the strawberry cake, and he loves wearing skirts. His hair is very short given he feels this can interfere with his vision, he also doesnt like hair…and well, hes pretty much involved with Spike (Saisk' oc) because damn i love their dynamic. Jhostin has been raised with russian and asian language! That's why his english sometimes, sounds a bit weird (same with Soveigna and Zar), he has a tendency to sketch sometimes but is rarely seen, loves rock bands and yeah he's been everywhere i think. Inside the toppats, the gov, and later in the CCC. Hes also good at dancing (ballet!).
uhhhhhhhhhh and well about my toppats ocs, I have Orion and Alán, Orion is the younger brother of Zar. Who happened to go missing years before he was born, Orion is…the sweetest guy you'll ever meet, he's literally an angel, and has always tried to find options that don't lead to violence, he adores his brother even if they never met, loves his family, loves all the coworkers he's had. Still, he had the objective of finding his brother, he is pretty much good at using computers so hacking and learning about more mafias than just the Toppats was easy for him, he enlisted himself on the forces but when he knew being there wouldnt actually help him with getting to learn about this brother, he just step away from the gov, because he was stuck and making zero progress. Instead he joined the toppats, literally went over there, and presented himself, of course, he is an angel but he does mean things too, ended giving info the gov so he could be acepted, he's part of the communications team, so yeah he did meet Burt, but never shared a word. Orion is very neutral about everything, he just wants his brother back because one part of his family is lost, he's not happy about that. But when chaos starts he's left there with the toppats, and instead knows his brother is alive somewhere so he decides to protect the toppats for the great chaos.
Alán is bolivian, he learned english after travelling to Perú in his youth and spending years there, he finished his studies here and then decided to continue living, until he saw toppats and how they steal and boy he loves stealing so he instantly had to find a way to join them. His hair is afro, and hes literally a thin toppat kind of short, but always tries to smile even if his 24/7 face makes him look like hes º^º
and ough thanks for asking! i hope you enjoyed the ramble cuz i ramble hella lot,,,,,

Okay hold up- other endings that you had to scrap? And one of them had Ellie x Rupert?!?!? (I really like that ship as a platonic pare…)
May I ask, how would a TT or any timeline where Ellie goes against the clan work with this au? Since Ellie is/was a toppat and all…
Yup Yup! Lemme see…the two endings I definitely plan on doing are Toppat Civil Warfare (Crown of Thorns) and Toppat King (Queen of Roses)
Originally, though, I planned on doing a lot of endings- and even having some overarching story where either Ellie was allowed by Henry to borrow his multiverse powers…somehow, or where the CCC gets bugged by all of these multiverses and makes sure Reginald never betrays Ellie to limit the amount. Not super well thought out 😭
And yeah! Ellie x Rupert…I don’t know what drove me to do that. I think I just thought Rupert being the bossy jock that he always is would be super funny paired with Ellie’s…bossy kick-aaa kind of attitude, haha!
TT and timelines of the sort would mostly follow her resentment towards Reginald driving her to take down the Toppat Clan…especially after seeing how loyal Henry and Charles are. I remember planning a lot of emotional conflict but I can’t find anywhere where I wrote my plans :(
Update: Wait, I did find some notes! Here are the endings I still consider potential fodder if I ever did want to make more endings :))
(TK and TCW ARE canon, so I won’t go over them here)
Queen of Roses - Was going to be the final ending, which would’ve involved Reginald never betraying Ellie.
Bloodred Roses - This ending is one I still consider canon, and follows Ellie as she tries to hunt down the Toppats….only to find the remains of the Revenged Ending. She would meet the ghosts of her former friends, learn how they died in this ending and what life was like once she was gone…and she would try to give them peace.
Blooming Gardens - The Triple Threat ending, which would give Ellie a sibling relationship with Charles and Henry and a father-daughter relationship with the general (who ironically would’ve been her grandpa-in-law if she and Reg got together…this makes me laugh.) Rupert was going to be especially judgmental of her past as a Toppat, but I planned on them slowly becoming friends and possibly hinting at a relationship, although come to think of it they’re way better as best friends
Yeah, a lot of chaotic stuff. Currently, I just plan for Crown of Roses to be the current comic, two endings, and maybe a comic about Suave’s generation…since I like them a lot :)….though I’d love to do a mini-comic about Bloodred Roses….

———————————————————
Chapter 1: Vocation
Hybrids. A rare creature mixed with humans and another species. Everyone knows hybrids are really rare. You could be born as a hybrid. Another way to become a hybrid is a more painful way. Being experimented on. Most of the hybrids were being experimented on as a test subject. A lot of hybrids escape the lad and live on their own life, hiding their hybrid form to blend in as a human. Mirage and his siblings were one of them, and so were most of his friends. Mirage was running down the hall, so he was told to be in Reginald’s office in 10 minutes. He knocks three times when Mirage stands in front of the office door.
”Come in!” Mirage opens the office door and closes it, facing the chief. “Come sit down.” Mirage takes the seat and faces Reginald. “Sir, what do you need me for?” Mirage asks, curious and confused. Maybe is one of the missions? “No, I don’t need you for anything.” Mirage raises one of his eyes brows. “Then why do you call me…?” Reginald fold his hand and place them on the table. “Well, you and your siblings had been working in the Clan for almost 2 years, correct?” Mirage nods. “Well, RHM and I had talked a little and decided that you and your siblings will go on a break for all the hard work you three give the Clan.”
A break. Mirage can’t believe his ears. The Chief decided to give the Felizima siblings a break from the crime. “Are you sure about this, sir?” Mirage asked. “Yes, I’m sure, Mirage. You and your siblings have done enough crimes for the past 2 years. So we decide to give you guys a break.” Reginald told him. Before Mirage could question where they would live, Reginald beat him.
“And don’t worry about the government or CCC. You guys will be living near a forest which makes it very easy for others to get lost. I’m pretty sure you can handle yourself since I’ll give you a map.”
Reginald looks at RHM and gives him a nod. RHM walked to one of the drawers and grabbed a tan color map then handed the map to Mirage. Mirage opens the map and looks through it. They are gonna live somewhere in North America. Mirage folds the map looks at his chief and gives him a bow. “Thank you so much, sir,”
“You’re welcome, Mirage. You’re dismissed.” Mirage walks up to the door, exits it, and then closes it. “Yes!” Mirage then ran to the cafeteria to meet up with his siblings. “Oi, Danny!! Annesa!! I got some good news!!”
The kitchen door flew open as a waiter, Danny, came out from the door. “Hey, bro! What’s the good news? Can we maybe talk somewhere-“
“DANNY FELIZIMA!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!” Mirage looks at the kitchen and then back to Danny. “What did you do this time?” Danny nervously looks at Mirage. “Oh… you know… just accidentally eat a fish?”
“Oh boy…” Mirage looked up and saw a very angry Scottie stomping out of the kitchen. “Didn’t I tell you those fish are for the CUSTOMERS?!” Scottie looks like they’re gonna explode. “This is the SECOND TIME THIS WEEK!!” Mirage quickly stepped in. “Heyy, Scottie! You can’t blame us, can you? We’re still part of a cat!” Scottie glared at Mirage. “So?”
“So? Cat eats fish sometimes, Danny is a cheetah after all!” Scottie didn’t say anything and crossed their arm. “… Fine, I will let this one slide. But if I caught you again, not even the chief can save you.” Scottie points their knife at Danny and then walks back to the kitchen. “Thanks for the save. Anyways, what’s the good news?” Annesa appeared behind Danny. “Well, as ya can see, Chief Reginald decided to give us a break!”
“Really?” Danny ask. “Yeah! Awesome, right?”
“You do know that everyone is getting a break, right?” Accordion appeared behind the Felizima siblings, making all of them jump. “Accordion?! Where the hell did you come from?” Accordion chuckles with Violin next to him. “We just got here. So, where would you be living? Accordion and I was gonna live somewhere in North America.” Mirage looks up. “Us too. Chief even gave us a map.”
Annesa pulls out her notebook. ‘Wait… how long is the break?’
“Oh, it’s gonna be a year, at least that’s what I heard,” Mirage answered her question. “And when are we gonna leave?” Danny adds in. “We have until next week to pack. So in the meantime, we can get ready now.” Violin told him. Scottie comes out from the kitchen with some snacks. They put them on the table next to everyone. “Might just eat something before we start packing.” Everyone sits down and begins to chat. Scottie still glaring at Danny about the fish. The cafeteria door was opened by Crusher, Danny’s boyfriend, Jay, Ulle, Nicole, Brutus, who is holding Cameron’s hand, and Amelia, who is glaring at Cameron. Seems like those two got into a fight again.
“Hey, love.” Crusher came over to Danny and kissed him on his cheek. It has been a while since those two started dating. “Could you two, like, stop fighting for 5 seconds?!” Scottie gives Cameron and Amelia a harsh glare and quickly shuts them up about who’s the favorite child. Everyone takes a seat. So, we all know where we’re gonna live?” Violin asks, making everyone nod. “Let’s start with Jay first.”
“Well, I’m gonna live in North America. What about everyone else?” Ulle starts next. “Gonna live with Jay since he doesn’t mind me living with him.” Ulle points at Jay. “Accordion and I were gonna live together. Cameron and Brutus are gonna live with us. What about you, Scottie? Do you want to live with us?” Violin kindly asks Scottie. “Um… I would like to live with Jay and Ulle if that’s not troubling you two.” Ulle gives them a wave. “Of course not! And Amelia, where are you gonna live?” Once Amelia heard her name, she stopped glaring at Cameron and looked at everyone else. “Oh, I’m gonna live with…”
“Wasn’t your fathers gonna take you with them?” Danny ask. “Oh, no. They want a vacation by themself. I don’t want to bother them so I told them I’m gonna live with one of you guys. I might live with Danny, though. If you guys won’t mind.” Amelia awkwardly looks at the Felizima siblings. “Oh, no, it’s ok. We got a lot of rooms in that house.”
“Crusher, Nicole, where are you guys gonna live?”
“I’m gonna live with my sweetheart.” Oh no… Mirage sigh. “And I’m gonna live with Jay, Ulle, and Scottie. Ulle and I already talk about this.”
“So everyone has a place to live in?” Everyone nods. “Great! Now let's get packing. Don’t want to pack too late.” Everyone got up from their seat and started heading toward their room, while Danny and Scottie left behind to deal with the dishes. Mirage got his luggage and started packing. He got the things he needed, like clothes, toothpaste, toothbrush, some extra money for just in case, shampoo, etc. He wonders how big the house is. It says that it has at least 5 or more bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A large kitchen, a backyard with a swimming pool,(don’t think they’re gonna use it), and a forest. ‘Why is there a forest behind the house?’ Mirage couldn’t think much anymore. He needs to stretch. He makes sure he locks the door and transforms into his hybrid form.
Mirage is a bobcat hybrid, and maybe living next to a forest isn’t that bad. He swigs his short tail and uses a hair brush to brush his ears. “Next week, we get to leave and enjoy ourselves. Mirage grabs a remote turns on the TV and watches the news. “Breaking news. A factory has been destroyed by three giant bird-like monsters. The police officers searched for the survivors but found none. They guess they were being killed by those monsters.”
“Bird monsters? Brutus is the only bird hybrid we know of. Then there must be other hybrids like us… wonder where they are.”
The next weeks came pretty quickly. Everyone was waving goodbye as they got in their drop ship. Once they arrive at their location for the year, they start to get ready. When they arrived, they were kinda surprised that they were all neighbors. Danny, Mirage, Crusher, Amelia, and Annase start looking around the house, which is more like a mansion. There are 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a backyard with a big swimming pool, a balcony, a large living room, and a kitchen. There’s also a third floor. The third floor has some extra room, a good room to hangout or work out with. But there's one bad thing about this mansion. There's dust everywhere. When they first step into the house, dust hit their faces. Mirage went to the backyard and took a good look at the forest.
“It’s a pretty big house for the four of us, no?” Crusher asked, looking at where Mirage was looking. Mirage rolled his eyes. “It would be better if you weren’t here.”
“Why do you hate my guts so damn much?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because you’re the one that got me in jail for a year?” Crusher slowly chuckles. Mirage felt a pull on his shirt looked down, and saw Annesa holding her sketchbook. ‘You guys should put away your tophat before someone sees you.’ Mirage and Crusher look at each other before running back to their room and putting away their tophat. Mirage then closed the window carbon and himself back to his hybrid form. "Guys! It's time for lunch!!"
Oh yeah. It takes almost 2 hours to travel here. Mirage walks to the living room. Annesa and Amelia was already there, eating. Well, not Amelia. "Remember to wash your hands, Mirage." Danny put two plates on the table and went back to the kitchen and grab the last plate. After Mirage finished washing his hands, he went back to his siblings and Crusher and sat down. "So, have you guys heard the news?" Crusher asked, with food in his mouth.
"Dear, don't talk with your mouth full. Yeah, I have heard the news about that factory. It was destroyed by a bird monster. Do you guys think it's a hybrid?" Danny asks, rolling his pasta with his fork.
"Yeah. But Brutus is the only bird hybrid that we know in that factory and he is with us all the time." Amelia points out. 'Should we go and find the hybrid?' Annesa asks with her sketchbook in hand. Everyone looks around at each other. "...Maybe we should. Who knows what people will do to them. But the world is so big. How are we suppose to find them?"
Silents. No one talks. "Let's just force on the vocation right now. We can talk about this later." Danny stood up and took his plate to the sink. Annesa and Crusher followed. Mirage looked at his food and began to poke them. "Brother, stop poking your food. It's gonna get cold." Mirage smiles and continues eating his food.
After he finished, Mirage decided to grab a seat and sit down, facing the forest while sunbathing without his hybrid form show since he didn't want anyone to find out. He then slowly started to relax until he heard something. "Crusher, I swear if you-" He opens his eyes and looks around, notice Crusher isn't here. Weird... He could have sworn he heard something.
Mirage turned back to the forest and saw something yellow. "Che diamine…" Mirage stood up and went into the forest for a closer look, but he couldn't find anything. He looked down and saw a feather. A yellow feather. It's not an aqua feather and it's too big to be a hummingbird feather. Mirage pick it up and begin to get a closer look on this strange feather.
Tumblr media
“What do you find?” Amelia appeared behind Mirage. “A feather. It’s not Brutus’s feather.” Mirage shows her the feather he found. “Maybe it’s mine?” Mirage knew Amelia was joking since she’s a mouse hybrid… Computer mouse hybrid.
"Mirage? Amelia?" Mirage and Amelia turned back to their house as he heard Danny calling for them. "Can you guys help us clean the house?" Mirage turns back to the forest and walks back with the feather in his pocket. "Coming bro..." Two pairs of eyes watch him leave. “Wanna bet I will clean faster without a break?” Amelia challenge. Mirage rolled his eyes. “You’re a android. Of course, you don’t need a break.” Amelia chuckles and begins to run back. Let’s hope they don’t need a day to clean the house.
--------------------------------
Clearing the entire is tiring!!! Most of the places in this mansion are dirty. When was the last time people lived in this mansion?! "Tired already?" Crusher asked, sitting on the couch with Mirage. "You're the one to talk!" Mirage look at Crusher. "So, what were you doing out there?"
"Huh?"
"What were you and Amelia doing out there before Danny called us to clean the house?"
“Why do you ask?”
“Just curious.”
“… Amelia and I went into the forest and found a yellow feather.” This got Crusher’s interest. “A yellow feather?”
”Yeah!” Amelia joins in and sits next to Mirage. “A light yellow feather. Mirage found it and I’m trying to figure it out which bird it belongs to.” Crusher hums. “Can I see the feather?” Mirage reaches for his pocket pulls out the feather he found on the ground and gives it to Crusher. He took it and analyzed the size and the color. “You think it’s a duck hybrid?” Amelia struggle. “It might be. But don’t think so.” Crusher gives the feather back to Mirage. Amelia stood up and reach for her pocket and took out two different feathers. A blue feather and an aqua-green feather. “Where did you find those?”
“I found it in the forest, but not that deep,” Amelia answered. “Are lunch, I went inside the forest and got some fresh air. Then I saw something or someone moved so I chased after it to get a better look then I found those feathers.” Amelia explain. “Can you give me those for a moment?”
“Here.” Amelia gives both feathers to Mirage. He then compares the size to three different feathers. “What are you guys doing?” Danny and Annesa asked. Danny goes behind Crusher and lies on the chair with his arm crossed while Annesa sits across Crusher. “Amelia and I found three different feathers in the forest.”
“Feathers?” Danny asked, looking at the table. “Yes, dear.” Danny hums and opens his mouth again. “Do you think it belongs to a parrot?” Everyone looks at Danny. “Because think about it. There’s a forest behind this mansion and there must be a lot of animals. Parrots might be one of them. "
"I don't think so. Parrots live in a rainforest, I think." Amelia points out. "Let's just get some rest. It's pretty late. And, if you want to call the others, there's a cell phone in the kitchen. Good night!" Danny walked up to a bathroom and went to take a shower. Crusher followed behind. Annesa told Mirage and Amelia, saying that she would be in her room. Amelia stood up. "Whew. I'm gonna go and charge myself up. You can keep those feathers. Night!" Mirage wave at Amelia and took the feathers and went to his room.
He placed three feathers next to his bed and went to the bathroom, to take a shower. After he finished, he sat down on his bed and pulled over his blanket. He was about to close his eyes but saw a glow. A yellow glow. Mirage sat up and saw three feathers glow. His eyes widened a bit. Those feathers belong to a hybrid. A magical hybrid Animal feather doesn't glow. The reason why it glowed was still unknown to Mirage. He picks up the yellow feather, and stares at it, before putting it next to his pillow.
"I will tell the others tomorrow. It's late at night right now." Mirage slowly closes his eyes and drowns in sleep. A figure was watching him for a second before flying away into the forest.
Next
----------------------------------
I hope you enjoy the first chapter of Hybrid Au. See you in the next chapter or comic!

forgot i was still doing this ask meme for a sec my bad lol
13. worst blorboficiation
Do you mean in terms of canon portrayals, or fandom-wise? Hmmm... if we're just talking canon here, then... weeeeell- >>
Tumblr media
-Now before anyone freaks out, no I don't "hate" Stolas... at most I'm honestly just kinda... "neutral"-feeling whenever he pops up on screen these days 🤷‍♀️
Concept-wise, I do like the idea of Stolas being this seemingly aged, powerful figure among the Ars Goetia... struggling to balance his twisted desires with his family/royalty responsibilities. Often getting lost in his own head to focus on anyone but his personal joy/fantasies-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...but at the same time, not too far gone that he can't reel it back in-time to eventually realize his mistakes, and try to do whatever he can to fix it (no matter how successful or not those attempts be-):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was unique, compelling and overall made Stolas an entertaining character from the initial HB pilot to the end of S1. Making me super intrigued of how this crooked, broken bird could eventually grow and learn from all that happened into S2...
...aaaaand then "The Circus" & onwards just... idk, decided to do away with all that to make Stolas more like an innocent, pure-natured soul all along... who never meant to come off like a selfish jerk 'cause he's just soooo lonely & sad, having the sweetest of intentions all along~ 🥺🥺
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and its like... usually I don't mind giving sympathetic/tragic backstories to explain why they behave the way they do in the present-day... but with how S2's been framing things with Stolas atm, any and all mistakes he's pulled in the past has become the fault of other people's doing?
Stolas & Stella having a cold, loveless marriage that ended in him getting caught cheating (+Stella hiring a hit on him because of said cheating)? ...Well then clearly thats all Stella's fault for being a raging harpy from birth, so bitch got what she deserved when he dumped her ass, haha~
Stolas having a demeaning, belittling view on Imps (even around Blitz a few times in S1)? ...Well then that clearly was just the fault of his eeeevil dad Paimon, pushing the idea in his son's head from his kid years (who was so pure at heart enough that he wanted to bow to Blitz, when they met, awww~).
Stolas not being the most attentive father to Octavia, ignoring her feelings over & over? ...Well then clearly thats all on Via for not being grateful for the big, noble sacrifices Stolas put into loving her (esp as she apparently only exists to be a “precautionary heir” from his toxic marriage), and the fact that he's trying should be enough to forgive all his faults as the best dad ever~
Stolas being a pushy creep towards Blitz during their S1 dynamic, stepping over boundaries despite Blitz's clear discomfort? ...Well then that's clearly all on Blitz for being the one who put the moves on Stolas first, who was just a flustered bean from the start wanting to reconnect with his old buddy & gained true feelings overtime... why can't Blitz see how much Stolas loooooves him~? :ccc
...Aaaaand yeah, idk about yall but ehhhhh- I just couldn't really get into that angle the more I watched S2 :/. Not to say that Stolas’ last couple appearances were bad, per-say ('cause I did find his sassiness to Striker while kidnapped + his reading-enthusiasm with Ozzie's contract pretty funny)... buuut to make a long story short:
Shady, morally gray Stolas who needs to work on himself >>>>> Sad baby boi Stolas who did nothing wrong ever

Tumblr Holy Grail War, Another Start: Wave 1 - Day 1 (Team Rider, Team Saber, Team Assassin, and Team Lancer)
The three Servants mused over what they knew, and what their Masters discussed and shared with them. Including a few key revelations that seemed to push them towards working together, rather than splitting apart.
Mandricardo: "...A 'Foreigner'-class... new Servants being summoned, and the fact that we don't know both 'when' and 'where' we are. This Grail War is definitely non-traditional. We should work together if we want to figure out everything."
Izou: "I mean, it brings up the question if the damn Grail is legit or not, right? I'll play nice, if it means not bein' played for a fool by some cup."
Tumblr media
Musashi: "I'm in too. There's the new Servant to worry about. A Foreigner-class Servant is the biggest red flag. A Servant like that is one of the most abnormal of abnormalities."
Mandricardo: "...You know about them?"
Musashi: "...Yeah. Or well, I knew someone that knew about them..."
Tumblr media
Izou: "Dammit. Ain't this the thing a Ruler is supposed to be here for? Why're we talkin' about this? No offense, but it doesn't seem like any of us are brainiacs. Why not find Caster? He probably knows more shit than we do."
???: "...'Fraid you can't. Unless he's trickier than I think, he and his workshop should be nothing but rubble."
Tumblr media
Stepping into the calm bar, Lancer looked around at the other Servants, before pulling up a seat.
Musashi: "Lancer! Long time, no see!"
Cu Chulainn: "Yo, Saber. And others. I thought there was a war happening, but it seems like I stumbled into an afterparty. Glad my spears didn't ruin the mood."
Mandricardo: "That spear rain... was you?!"
Izou: "...You guys friends, Saber?"
Musashi: "More like rivals, but friendly enough! Let's catch you up to speed, Lancer!"
Tumblr media
After another round of expositing, Lancer nodded, trying his best to take everything in.
Cu Chulainn: "...I mean, I hear you guys, but my purpose here is to fight and win. I'll play nice if my Masters order me to, and you all don't seem too bad, but if my Masters want the Grail... well, then that's that."
Musashi: "I can understand that. Besides, with that Noble Phantasm of yours, you've cemented that you don't need help. But just think about it, okay?"
Assassin, Rider, and Saber have forged an alliance! Allied Servants can't attack one another unless they sever themselves from the alliance!
If an allied Servant wins first place during a Free-for-All, then their partner won't sustain a wound! When fighting alongside an allied Servant, they both gain a +5% boost! Additionally, they're immune to being debuffed by ally skills!
Allied Servants have a shared 'decision poll' phase! More details regarding Servant alliances will be revealed later!

The Tragic Tale of Cody Night
Gonna probably file this one under "not posting on AO3" but anyway, a bit of a sort of backstory on Cody Night and how they got to be who they are, against their better wishes. I'm gonna also classify this under Whump and Hurt with No Comfort. There's mentions of suicide, of course in terms of triggers and some bad transformation stuff in general.
Other then that, I hope you... enjoy the story?
Alex and Eric belong to @bluetorchsky
While not mentioned by name, Caissy Rogers belongs to @lovelygirlnicole15
Cody woke up that morning, stretching as they gazed at the calendar, feeling a strange pit in their stomach. Their birthday was in a few days. And after that, it would be another week before the anniversary of them being hired at the CCC. They let out a small sigh as they pushed themselves out of bed, heading into the bathroom to brush their teeth and comb their hair.
They looked at themselves in the mirror: dusty brown hair, bright light blue eyes. They smiled as they took a deep breath to center themselves before they exited their room.
They had opted to live in the complex in the dorms, due to the fact that they didn’t want to live with their aunt anymore. They didn’t have much anyway, so it wasn’t like it was a huge loss. They casually ignored the people passing by, saying good morning to them as they concentrated on getting to the cafeteria to get coffee and their bacon/egg omelet.
“Hey, Cody! The usual today?” the cafeteria staff lady said, a big warm smile on her face. Cody only nodded as they waited patiently for it to be prepared before heading off to a table to eat by themself.
After eating, they deposited their tray and dishes onto the conveyor before they headed to their work station. They had only been a class 3 anomaly inspector for about a month, but they were already impressing their coworkers around them. Especially their mentor, a man by the name of Jet Rocket, whom Cody was growing more and more attached to.
They hated it, really, growing attached to the first person to give them the time of day, but something about how Jet looked at them while he rambled on and on about his little brother in the military (Arnie? Armand? They forgot really.) and other various subjects made them feel comfortable around them.
Either way, once they headed to their desk to report for duty, they were stopped by Jet himself, a big smile on his face.
“Hey, Cody! Today’s your lucky day!” Jet said, “We have a very special assignment for you.”
“Huh?” Cody only tipped their head to the side as Jet gestured for them to follow, walking through some levels they weren’t even allowed in. Which was strange, because Jet often dealt with anomalies up to level 15. Cody got a bit worried as they headed to the airlock of the generator room of the level 9 wing, where three other employees were waiting for them.
“What took you so long, Rocket? We were gonna start without you!” one of them said, smirking.
“Had to pick up our young’n here,” Jet said, slapping Cody’s back.
“Ah, that’s right, you’ve almost been here a year. Yeah, letting them see just how intricate and powerful our generators are is mandatory,” a second employee said.
“And dangerous! Not only are they powerful and intricate, but also highly sensitive! If something goes horribly wrong-” the third employee piped up before Jet put up his hand.
“Now you can stop your rambling, George, because nothing will go wrong. Besides, the boss said it was a minor thing, so we should be done in about thirty minutes,” Jet said, “Ready to go Cody?”
“Um, sure,” Cody said as one of the employees opened the airlock hatch.
“Alright, once we enter the airlock, there’s a suit to put on. Do not take it off under any circumstances. Contact with the dark matter can have some drastic consequences,” Jet said.
“D-dark matter?” OK, now Cody was a bit worried. Minor little chaos anomalies they could handle, but dark matter?
“Nothing will go wrong kid,” one of the employees reassured him as he slipped on his suit, “There’s a lot of precautions in place in case an emergency occurs and we’re right behind you. We’ll do the heavy lifting and you can just observe.”
“Nah, Cody can help too. They just need some guidance. Right Cody?” Jet smiled at them from behind the glass of their suit as Cody nodded his head.
“Right.”
“Alright, let’s move out.” The group exited the airlock as they walked into the chamber. Cody looked up and saw a small machine surrounded by several gauges and dials. A window in the small machine revealed a strange liquid as it moved and pulsed with dozens of little stars. Cody was almost mesmerized by it as Jet called for them to meet with the group.
“Alright, you need to release the pressure Rodney. George, check the gauges to make sure that nothing is destabilizing. Let us know if something is out of place. Jet, you need to take these tools and start unscrewing this stabilizer. Do it carefully, because any wrong moves will cause the machine to spark,” one employee said, “Cody, just stay behind Jet and do as he says.”
“Yes sir…” Cody positioned himself behind Jet as he got to work watching him unscrew the stabilizer.
“Cody, hand me the other stabilizer Monty brought in, alright?” Jet asked. Cody handed it off to him as he quickly switched the stabilizer with the other one.
“This part you have to do in at least thirty seconds. If you don’t, the whole thing goes up,” Jet said, “It’s pretty intense.”
“Why are we using dark matter to generate energy?” Cody asked.
“It’s efficient. And it’s in everything,” Jet said, “It’s the only way to power the things we have going here.”
“It’s in everything? Including us?” Cody asked.
“Pretty much. Though, dark matter is also very dangerous. It can distort your body and do some funky shit to it,” Jet said, “It should be fine though. As long as we repair it safely and carefully, it won’t escape. I promise.”
“And if does?”
“Then I’ll make sure you’re the last person it gets onto.” Cody felt a bit touched by that comment and for the first time ever, felt like they belonged.
The rest of the repairs were a bit boring after that though, but after some time had passed, the group had finally finished everything up. Cody still felt like they could have done more to help, but other then checking a few dials and handing off a few parts, they weren’t exactly much of a big help.
“Alright, time to head out!” Jet said.
“I was hoping this would take a bit longer. I’ve got a mountain of paperwork on my desk I am not looking forward to,” George muttered as he went to open the airlock. There was moment of silence as he attempted, over and over again to open the airlock before he gazed at them with a bit of worry in his eyes.
“Guys… the door’s stuck.”
“Damn! I told them that they need to come down here to check the doors every now and again and look what happened! Slackers, the lot of them…” Monty shouted.
“Now now, let’s calm down. The emergency phone is over there. Cody, you know how to operate it, right?”
“Y-yeah…” Cody said.
“OK, I know you’re panicking, but everything is going to be OK, you hear me? Just dial the number and let them know we’re in here. They have a manual override they can use to unlock the door they can get us out.”
“It’s called the jaws of life, Jet,” Rodney said, smirking a bit.
“It’s OK, just call them,” Jet said. Cody felt a bit reassured as he walked to the phone and dialed the number.
“What’s going on down there?”
“The door… it’s stuck and we need to get out. We’re on level 9 in the dark matter reactor,” Cody said.
“Section A or B?”
“The one… that was broken?”
“B? Well, we’ll be right there. It’ll be a few minutes, so sit tight, OK?” As the other person on the line hung up the phone, suddenly he heard a concerned voice behind him.
“Uh, guys? The stabilization is going down!”
“What? I installed the new stabilizer properly! How could that be happening?”
“Jet, what did you do?”
“Let’s not play the blame game. C’mon we need to fix this before-”
It all happened so fast. First a crack appeared on the window of the dark matter reactor. Then, a pool of dark liquid started to rush out, as the group tried to head towards Cody, who was frozen in fear.
“CODY!!” Jet shouted as he ran towards them and picked him up. The dark liquid lapped at Jet’s feet as his legs wobbled.
“JET! NO!” Suddenly an explosion went off somewhere behind Jet and Cody as he fell to the ground. Cody tried to scramble to get to the corner as alarms went off around them. They heard another explosion, a scream, maybe? Or maybe they screamed, who knows.
And suddenly their suit tore on one of machines.
And the dark matter started to seep in.
Cody felt their head spinning as they blacked out, only for a few minutes, before finally coming to, hearing the CCC employees voices going nuts. They tried to call out to them as they grabbed them. They could only hear little snippets of what they were saying.
“They’ve been exposed! Be careful!”
“This is bad!”
“Quarantine, they have to get quarantine right away!”
- - - - -
Cody must have fallen asleep at some point, because when they woke up, they were in a small padded room. They looked around, trying to figure out where they were when they saw the medical wiring attached to them. But that wasn’t the worst part. They gazed at the dark matter on their arm and part of their leg, feeling a bit woozy as they glanced around.
“Good evening, Cody.” Cody jumped at the intercom, shaking as they looked around.
“Where… where am I? Where’s Jet? Where are the others!? Are they safe?”
“Now, Cody, before we give you the details, we might as well tell you what happened to you first. You were very lucky, because there was a lot of explosions occurring in that room. However, you were exposed to dark matter because of the tear in your suit. So unfortunately, we have to keep you in quarantine until we can find a way to get it off. Which we have before, it won’t be hard. But it may take a while,” the voice explained.
“What about the others? What about Jet and George and-”
“They are… they unfortunately perished in the meltdown. Jet was protecting you when he was impaled by the explosion. Another had been injured too greatly by the explosion. And two of our employees were consumed by the dark matter. We’re lucky the same didn’t happen to you,” the voice explained. Cody felt a bit dizzy as they lay back down on the bed, feeling like they had just swallowed a ton of bricks.
“I’m sorry about all this Cody. But we’re gonna do everything we can to get that dark matter off of you. You won’t have to worry much if we do this right,” the voice said, “You can call me Dr. Eliza. I’m here with Dr. Quartz and Dr. Thorn. We’re gonna do everything in our power to make sure you make it out of this alright? Alright?”
Cody nodded their head, not sure how to feel anymore as the voice on the intercom said:
“Let’s get started.”
- - - - -
One whole month had passed since the dark matter had attached itself to Cody’s body.
Despite all the treatments that the CCC had attempted, there were none that were truly working. The dark matter had spread much more since that day. It was now covering their entire arm and threatening to spread to their torso. The dark matter on their legs had spread to their pelvic region and was already making its way down to their other leg.
They didn’t know how to really feel anymore. They were scared, but at the same time, they were angry. They were sad, but at the same time, they felt like they had to accept his fate. They wanted to die so badly…
And yet the urge to go on was stronger then ever.
Dr. Thorn was the only person who was watching them right now. The other two scientists had gone out to get lunch, with the promise of bringing Cody some. They said they were getting StickDonalds and Cody reluctantly agreed, which was weird, because last they checked, they hated StickDonalds. Maybe the dark matter was messing with their sense of taste.
Suddenly the door opened to the airlock and they jumped, looking up and being greeted with… a strange man? Not one of the scientists, that’s for sure. Only a strange, very old looking man with bright blue eyes and dusty brown hair entered the room, holding a brief case in it’s hand and wearing a sharp looking blue suit.
“Who are you? You know if you don’t wear a suit, you’ll be exposed to the dark matter,” Cody said, their voice raspy.
“I can assssssure you Mixxxxxter Night that I am very familiar with the propertiessss of… dark matter,” the man said as it gazed at Cody.
“I see that you’ve been… adjussssting to your circumstances despite your attitude,” the man said, pacing around Cody as they shook with a bit of fear.
“What do you mean?” Cody asked.
“Well, obvioussssllyy, the universe exxxxistsss in sort of… balanccesss, Mixter Night. Balanccess that require some form of sacrifice, regardless of how the third party feellssss. You know perfectly well what I mean, Mixxxxter Night,” it said.
“Who… who are you?” Cody said softly.
“You can call me Mr. Mann for the time being. I am what you call… an auditor of sortssss. I go through the multiverse looking for circumstancesss such as yours and correct them. For instance… that explosion that occurred in the dark matter reactor… you would have died if not for my interference…”
“What? You… you made me into this?” Cody said, shaking a bit as they gazed at their arm.
“That was purely coincidental. I can assssure you that you would have sssuffered… grave injury if I hadn’t interfered with you, Mixter Night,” Mr. Mann said. Cody gritted his teeth, feeling tears surface they shook.
“You did this to me… you… you made me like THIS! I may never go back to normal! I-!” Cody started to shout as Mr. Mann shook his head.
“I can’t take full resssposibility for your state, Mixxter Night. I can only tell you what happened and what may happen in the future becausssse of this…” Mr. Mann said, “Just know that I may be in need of your… servicccesss in the future.”
“Like hell I’d help you with anything,” Cody snarled.
“You may not have a choice Mixxxter Night… You may not… have a choiccceee…” Mr. Mann said softly as it walked out of the chamber.
“Cody?” Dr. Thorn said, “Cody are you feeling alright? You sounded like you were having a nightmare.”
“There was… a man…” Cody said softly, not sure how to describe it.
“What kind of man?” Dr. Thorn said, trying but failing to hide the concern in his voice.
“A man with a briefcase. It had blue eyes and brown hair like mine…” Cody said.
“Oh greater ones above…” They suddenly heard talking on the other side of the glass window that concerned them greatly. Something about an anomaly, level 15.
“It’s alright Cody, that man is… completely normal,” Dr. Thorn said, “Dr. Quartz is bringing your food in now. I know you said you didn’t like StickDonalds, but we got you something anyway. I hope that’s OK.”
“It’s fine…” Cody muttered, gazing at the door as it opened the smell of fried greasiness entered their room. At least they were feeding them for the time being.
Cody never saw that strange entity again though.
- - - - -
Cody was in a horrible mental state.
The dark matter had successfully managed to spread to a majority of their torso, abdomen, and pelvic region. The tests they had used to successfully remove dark matter in the past were not working. They felt the dark matter creeping up on their neck as part of their arm and head were the only things left that had not been completely covered.
They noticed their hair and eyes had changed as well. Their hair was slowly turning lavender with bits of sparkles in them while their eyes had become dark blue. Their mouth had become a big black hole on the inside, with little specks of stars in them, which meant that the inside of their body was changing drastically as well.
The scientists had tried everything to get the dark matter off, from frequency tests, to electrocution to a strange scraping device that felt like someone was peeling off their skin. But the dark matter was still there.
“Cody, are you alright?” they heard Dr. Eliza ask. They gazed at the ground, trying to feel anything, but could feel nothing but pain and hurt. They gazed at their hands, feeling tears spring into their eyes.
“I want to die,” Cody softly whispered.
“Cody…”
“I want to die so badly… why won’t you guys just kill me already?” Cody said, shaking as they gazed at the window, not even able to see the scientists that were… at this point torturing them.
“Cody, I know you feel awful, but-”
“BUT WHAT!? I’M GONNA BE STUCK LIKE THIS FOR THE REST OF ME LIFE! I DON’T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE!”
“CODY!”
“PLEASE, PLEASE, JUST KILL ME ALREADY! I WANT TO DIE SO FUCKING BADLY, JUST KILL ME ALREADY, PLEASE!”
The scientists sat in stunned silence as Dr. Thorn rushed to adjust the collar on Cody’s neck. They had put it on them to keep them stable, but their mental state was causing the collar to work in overtime.
Meanwhile, Dr. Quartz pulled something out from under his desk and walked towards the door.
“Milo, what are you doing!?” Dr. Eliza said.
“Granting their damn wish. I can’t take it anymore…” Dr. Quartz said.
“Dr. Quartz, you know that this isn’t ethical! If the Director finds out about this-”
“The Director should come down here their self and see the state this kid is in!” Dr. Quartz shouted, “I’m pretty sure they’d understand once they find out…” Dr. Quartz exited the room and it was quiet for a few minutes as Dr. Eliza felt sick to her stomach, gazing at Cody, who was grasping their head, muttering to them self.
Finally, after what seemed like several hours, Dr. Quartz appeared once again, a gun in his hand as he walked towards Cody. Cody gazed up at him as he aimed the barrel of the gun squarely at their forehead. The fear and hurt in their eyes was pretty obvious, but they didn’t seem to fight back.
“Kid… are you sure you wanna do this?” Dr. Quartz asked, “You know that… this isn’t the answer right? There are several CCC employees who have suffered a fate similar to yours. They go on anyway. I’m not saying you have accept what you’re becoming. I’m just saying there’s so much more you can do. Please… don’t make me do this.”
Cody only stared at Dr. Quartz blankly.
“Kid, I’m begging you, I don’t want to do this! Just say the word and I’ll walk out right now!”
“Shoot me…” Cody was shaking, they were obviously afraid, but they nodded their head, “Just kill me already… please…”
“Cody…”
“PLEASE!” Dr. Quartz shut his eyes, reluctantly pulling the trigger. Dr. Thorn watched in horror as Dr. Eliza covered her eyes.
The sound of the shot reverberated through the room as the bullet went square into Cody’s forehead. Their eyes were filled with tears as they felt the pain of the shot go through their skull, but didn’t feel any different. They didn’t black out, they didn’t feel like they were going to the other side.
Instead, a glowing lavender liquid began to pour out of their head, slowly in little blobs as Dr. Quartz stared at it with great fear.
“Oh no…” Dr. Quartz said softly, reaching into the suits pocket and scooping it up. Cody passed out as Dr. Quartz exited the room, being careful to take the gun with him as he entered the observation room again.
“Dr. Quartz, are you OK?” Dr. Eliza asked, trying to hide her relief that the gun didn’t work.
“You see this shit? It’s liquid stardust. Magicians consider this a miracle. It’s like an ultimate cure-all, comparable to the philosopher’s stone,” Dr. Quartz said, “If that kid has this in their body, it’s far too late. They’re never going to die like a human. They’ll never die at all.”
“I’ve increased the stability on their collar but… it looks like the dark matter is spreading some more,” Dr. Thorn said.
“Milo…” Dr. Eliza said softly as Dr. Quartz set down the jar before angrily shoving some papers on the ground, sitting down at his chair as he shook.
“Dammit… Dammit all… we can’t save them… we can’t fucking save them…” Dr. Quartz said softly.
- - - - -
Cody remembered the day it happened like an awful nightmare. One minute they had crawled into bed, unable to really talk or see much due to the dark matter spreading across their face and the next they had felt every emotion at once in their bodies.
Pain, misery, despair, hurt, laughter, sadness, destruction, it was all there. The feeling of hatred and sorrow, combined with the misery of acceptance and hope had overflowed in their body like a glass full of water under a sink, the faucet continuously running with a mixture of emotions.
They didn’t know what had transpired in those few days, but by the time things had finally calmed down and they had stabilized into a human form, they were practically miserable. They stared at the reflection in the mirror. Their whole body, head to toe was now dark matter. They had completely turned into dark matter.
They were no longer human.
They looked human, sure, but their humanity was put into question as they spent the past week or so after that enduring tests that made them feel much worse. It was very clear they had no way of offing them, so they just had to accept that this was their fate. They would sometimes go to sleep on those nights, hoping they’d wake up on the day before it happened.
Hoping that they would wake up in their room, thinking what an awful nightmare this was and they would go back to doing their work like it never happened at all.
They were nineteen years old now. They would be nineteen for the rest of their life, no matter how many birthdays passed.
After a whole week of this, the scientists had come in bearing a new collar. They carefully put it on them and adjusted it so that they would remain stable as long as they were wearing it. Apparently it came with a special lock that pinched the back of their neck, but they didn’t worry about it too much.
“Cody, we’re going to ask you a few questions. I hope that’s OK with you,” Dr. Eliza said, “First, what is your full name?”
Who’s Cody? I’m Cody. I guess I’m Cody. I don’t feel like that guy anymore…
“Cody?” Dr. Eliza asked.
Right… I’m Cody.
“Cody Achilles Night,” Cody said.
“What gender are you?”
“I’m… nonbinary.”
“Pronouns?”
“They/them.”
“Who is the person that ran your department before your accident?”
“Dr. Jared Wheeler.”
“Where do you live?”
“Manhatten, outside of New Stick City, in the CCC dorms.”
“Alright and one last question. Are you alright?”
Cody gazed at their mattress, trying to figure out if they should answer honestly or tell a lie.
“No… I’m not. I hate everything. I just want to be dead…” Cody said softly.
“Well, that’s what we figured,” Dr. Eliza said, “Alright, this new collar should hopefully work as intended, but just in case, we’ve brought a sort of… test subject forward.”
Dr. Quartz stepped forward, not wearing a protective suit as Cody gazed at him. This was the same person who had attempted to put a bullet through their head, the same person who had attempted to kill him.
“Kid, I need you to touch my hand. And… if you can touch without infecting me, we’re gonna take you out of this room and… you’re gonna try to live your life. Hopefully.” You could almost feel the sadness in his eyes as Cody reluctantly put his hand forward before touching Dr. Quartz’ hand. It didn’t do much, though it had been so long since Cody had felt human contact that they almost wanted to grab his hand and just hold it.
Unfortunately, Dr. Quartz had pulled back before they could do anything as he nodded his head.
“Good… that new collar is a lot more powerful then the old one. That’ll not only keep them stable, but they’ll be able to do the work they need to do,” Dr. Thorn said as he started to take off his own suit.
“Alright, Cody. We’re gonna get your all dressed up and you can follow us to the examination room for your next steps,” Dr. Eliza said. Cody nodded their head as they followed behind them, not exactly feeling as excited as the other scientists were as they were given a plain white t-shirt and a pair of CCC brand sweatpants.
They were lead to an examination room and told to wait a few minutes, but it had been about fifteen before a new face had popped in, the scientists right behind him.
“Alright, according to Dr. Eliza, Thorn, and Quartz, you seem to be stable enough to continue work physically. However, they know that mentally you aren’t in a good place. You would often talk about how you wanted to die in the later weeks of the procedures and Dr. Quartz, against all protocol, attempted an unauthorized life ending scenario,” the doctor said as Dr. Quartz looked away, a bit ashamed.
“However, if it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t have known how deeply the dark matter had affected you. So here’s what’s happened, in case you need a refresher; The dark matter that has infected your body has completely covered you and changed your molecular structure. You are no longer classified as a human being as a result of this. So you have two options at this point.
“One is that you’ll be sent a remote town near a CCC facility, where you’ll be monitored for the rest of your life. The other option is to continue your employment here. However, considering your obviously damaged physiological and mental state, not only will you be demoted back to level 1, but you will also be given routine therapy sessions with our company therapist until they determine that you’re mentally stable enough to be promoted,” the doctor said, “So, what do you want to do?”
A voice in the back of their head, a familiar one, seemed to tell them to go to the town. For some reason, that was itching in the back of their mind. But at the same time, they knew if they went out there, they would never be the same again.
Either option sounded awful.
Spend the rest of their isolated in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of other unlucky CCC agents or continue to work here where they could potentially hurt them self even more.
But on the other hand, knowing that something was telling them to go to the town was not exactly the best option. So they had no choice.
“I’ll just stay here… and continue my work,” Cody said softly.
“Alright. We’ll let the overseer of the level one division that you’re on your way back. We’ll get you acquainted with your therapist and of course, we’ll try everything in our power to make sure you feel comfortable despite your circumstances,” the doctor said, “Do you have any further questions?”
“Are you sure you can’t just kill me?” Cody said. Dr. Quartz exited the room quietly as the doctor sighed.
“How about we start by getting you acquainted with your therapist?”
The next several minutes were a bunch of paperwork, talking, and other nonsense that Cody didn’t really pay much attention to. They didn’t pay much attention to the therapist they had received. Not like it really mattered, because they were going to have to see them twice a week for the next several weeks.
After that, they were sent back to their room. But the place looked unfamiliar to them. Almost foreign, like they had just moved in for the first time. They gazed at the desk near their bed and saw the pictures of them self, when they were younger to when they first got hired. The pictures looked foreign as well, like they were pictures of someone else.
They headed into the bathroom and stared at them self in the mirror. Their hair, now a striking and sparkly lavender, was a mess, with half of it covering their face. Or lack thereof, as they were now faceless, with a void covering where their face was. They stared at their hands, shaking as their eyes began to water as they covered their face.
They didn’t know who they were anymore.
- 20 YEARS LATER -
Cody rose out of bed, wondering if they should just call in. They had felt like shit for the past twenty years since the accident and calling in didn’t really feel like an option anymore.
Since the accident, they had become more increasingly distant with their coworkers, only exchanging hellos and goodbyes casually and only speaking up when it involved work.
They didn’t think much of it anyway. After all, in their mind, they could really never be friends with anyone or anybody. But apparently that all changed not too long ago.
They walked out of their new dorm room as a group in the hall greeted them, all smiles as Cody let out a half-hearted “Hey” response. The CCC had recently transferred them to West Mesa, where there were apparently an anomaly that had caught their interest. An anomaly that happened to be a former employee/test subject of the organization.
“His name is Henry Stickmin,” he remembered his boss telling him, “I know it’s a stretch, but he was recently involved in several events that made him a… center of interest to us. So that’s why we need you to keep an eye on him and his little friend group. Make note of everything he does and above all else, don’t make contact with him if you can help it. Just observe.”
So they had their bags packed and sent on their way to the West Mesa facility. And there, they met some pretty interesting folks. Very friendly too… he had forgotten the further south he went down the Great Continent, the more friendly people had gotten.
Still, they went to the cafeteria to get their usual coffee with a bacon/egg omelet. Along the way, they saw Alex Springcurl, who was surprisingly by himself at the moment.
“Good morning Cody!” Alex said cheerfully. Cody jumped at the greeting as he stared at Alex, who was all smiles, “How are feeling this morning?”
“I feel… not really great…” Cody said, letting out a sigh, “I’m sorry, do you need something?”
“Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you wanted to sit with us today,” Alex said. Cody shook their head.
“No thank you…” Cody said before they walked off. Eric had just walked by them, carrying two trays as he looked at his husband hopefully.
“No good. I swear that kid is a tough egg to crack,” Alex said, “But I think if we apply a bit more pressure.”
“Let him come around on his own. I’m pretty sure once they really get used to the place, they’ll be more then happy to try to make some friends,” Eric assured him.
“Yeah, he’s only been here a week after all. Those New Stick City folks sure are distant, aren’t they?” Alex said.
Cody went through the line as the cafeteria lady tried to strike a conversation before handing them their food, a little ticked off at their coldness as they found an isolated area of the cafeteria before sitting down to eat.
“Hey, Mixter Night?” Cody looked up to see a young lady with bright eyes with snowflakes in them and beautiful blonde hair standing near him, all smiles.
“I noticed that you’re always eating by yourself here and I was wondering if maybe you wanted to sit with my friends. I promise we’re all friendly!”
“I’m fine, thank you.”
“But-”
“I said, I’m fine! Just leave me alone, please…” The girl looked a bit heartbroken as she walked off, glancing at Cody one last time before heading back to her group.
They would just have to adjust and get used to this. They glanced at their hand as they sighed, trying to keep them self from crying.
All they had to do was just work. No distractions, no funny business, no anything.
Even if it made them feel awful.
