#yeet this blog is alive

[admiral-mason]

I'm bored, random crossover time again

Recently I have gotten into a little shooter game known as Ultrakill.

For those who don't know: Ultrakill is basically a shooter game that combines elements from Titanfall, Doom Eternal, Devil May Cry, etc. You play as V1, a literal blood-powered combat robot that descends into Hell (from Dante's Inferno) to get more blood. On the way, you fight demons, angels, and other machines.

So? With my blog basically sporadically alive, let me revive it with another nonsensical crossover!

Gender neutral reader

SPOILERS AHEAD!

How these two games crossed over:

So you own both a PC and a phone/tablet. You would mostly play Genshin Impact on your mobile device while you played Ultrakill on your PC.

You've managed to complete both games and right now you tried obtaining all the alternate 'slab' weapons in Ultrakill. You have one already, simply called the slab revolver by many. Your next weapon to obtain is the sawblade launcher, located in stage 4-4 Clair de Soleil.

So, you did so. Whiplashing the blue skull from the right room after you used the first jump pad, the door opened and you shot your railcannon into the water. However, when you did so, the game decided to crash on you.

"What the hell??" You said before grumbling a little and trying to boot the game back up to no avail. Closing out the game, you bothered to play a little Genshin. However, within a few seconds of booting up the game, you got shocked and blacked out.

How you got to Teyvat:

After waking up, you found yourself in a plains area... and then you saw an anemo slime.

"Hey, you. You're finally awake." A voice that sounded like Microsoft Sam said from behind you.

(V1's voice from this program)

Turning around, you were greeted by the blue camera head himself.

"What the frick V1 how are you here??"

"I don't fucking know, one moment I touched the sawblade launcher, and now I'm here in what appears to be Limbo but not fake with the human who basically assisted me in murdering all of hell for blood. By the way, you perform really great shotgun yeets!*"

"Uh, thanks." You awkwardly responded.

"Now where the fuck can I get some blood?"

In Mondstadt:

The two of you ended up wandering around V1 had managed to kill a few wild animals for blood with his revolver. It didn't take long for someone to hear the sounds and approach you two afterward.

"You two! Stop right there!" Amber heard the sounds of V1's revolver shots as she ran towards you two. If it weren't for you rapidly telling V1 to not shoot her, she'd likely be on the floor in a pool of her own blood.

"...Hi there." You awkwardly said before she ended up tackling you to the ground in a hug with V1 just looking at the sight.

After Amber took you two to Mondstadt, word spread quickly of the Divine One and their blue angel-looking machine. The two of you managed to receive free housing with the Knights of Favonius alongside a tour of the city.

V1 abused his superior mobility to cross the entire city from one side to the other in less than a minute. This astonished the local citizens at this strange individual's movement skills. And then he accidentally crashes into a random citizen's cart.

"WHEEEEEEEEEEE"

"V1 don't you're gonna-!"

V1 crashes into a cart full of cabbages, toppling it

"..."

Everyone's also confused at his ability to seemingly generate coins... before shooting at them with that curved thing he holds in his hands and then it kills stuff. (I presume that most Mondstatians have never seen guns, the closest they have seen is probably a bow,)

Then he somehow pulls a giant double-barreled minigun?? Then a tube that shoots rockets??

Expect Klee to be all over him.

"Well see, this rocket launcher used to be an industrial tool, until some-"

"HOW BIG OF A BOOM CAN IT MAKE?!"

"...Let me demonstrate!"

V1 activated the freeze mode on his Freezeframe Rocket Launcher and fired a few rockets at a group of wolves...

...Safe to say, those wolves and their surroundings got blown up to high hell.

When Jean found the destructive duo, V1 just took Klee into his arms and proceeded to abuse his mobility yet again.

"BOING! Catch me now, bozo!"

"Get back here you blue thing-"

"I am not a blue thing thank you- BOING!"

Looking past shenanigans, Albedo and Sucrose have taken an interest in V1's lethal arsenal that's even far superior to Fatui tech. Noelle might ask to train with the machine after some introductions.

In Liyue

After a few days of staying in Mondstadt, you kinda wanted to see Liyue so you told everyone else and asked V1 to accompany you. Upon arrival though, you found out that Liyue prepared a celebration for the two of you. Turns out news can leak out quickly to the world even if you've only interacted with a part of it.

V1 found Liyue significantly more fun to traverse and navigate around. From mountainous marvels to spacious streets, the nation provided him with no short of tricks to pull off.

Everyone interacted with V1 normally until he started using the Whiplash to grab items from various vendors merely flipping a few coins at them in return. This led to a scuffle with the Millelith and he ended up shocking everyone by knocking all of the soldiers out with a mere punch to their chest.

Thankfully you managed to calm him down.

When he saw the Jade Chamber, he made it a personal challenge to ascend without using the proper way. He unfortunately did so while Ningguang was pleasantly talking with you.

"This, your grace, is-" You could then faintly hear rocket sounds in the distance, with Ningguang following suit shortly after. You both turned in the direction of the sound to see V1 flying on a rocket with his Freezeframe Rocket Launcher yet again before he jumped off and landed right next to the two of you.

"Hi friend I'm back! Mechanic abuse is funny!"

Ningguang just blinked at the sight of the combat machine that somehow stood on a small flying object to get up here without proper authorization. "...Your grace what the heck did that thing just do??"

"I AM NOT A THING-"

Part 2?

So I've had this idea cooking it's been like baking so long I needed to get it a new blog where ima probably yeet all my crazy ideas and introduce my friends too.

So it goes like this, after all the events of Hogwarts Legacy the trio of Slytherins(yes I made my MC a slytherin) made a unbreakable vow which made them all immortal(not unkillable ALSO I MAKE CANNON MY BITCH I DO NOT CARE IF THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT SPELL) now nothing is now of the descendents of Sebastian Sallow so what if down theline the MC and Sebastian had kids and down the line Harry Potter became the very last of said line. Yes she's still married to Ominis but ominis made the decision to never have kids to continue his family name, they had discussed it was his choice as a sort of fuck you to his parents an such.

And what if the MC never knew of what had happend to Harry pretty much kept out of the loop by Albus for fear of them messing up Dumbldore plans of getting rid of voldemort once an for all(look we all know Dumbldore is not the hero here okay?)

What iff around when the tri-wizard tournament was happening MC found out, found out that one of her last remaining of her magical bloodline is alive still and currently UNDERAGED AND ENTERED INTO ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS TOURNAMENTS OF THE WIZARDING WORLD(which I am saything that this MC definiatly a while back competed in this BUT OF AGE MIND YOU)

sO i picture MC showing up to Dumbledore's office pissed of wth her equally as pissed off husbands behind her. Her magic aura rolling off her in waves as she aims her wand diretly att he headmasters throat.

"You told me he was dead Albus."

"YOu had no need to-"

"DO NOT TELL ME what I had need to know or not to know! He is my great great grandson! He deserves to be with his family! DEserves to know of the power he may verey weild! Deserves to be shown the love he very much so deserves!"

She's pissed at this point, Ominis in all his ability to keep thngs civil stepped forward and lowered her arm holding the wand.

"Love, let him speak."

ANd then dumbledore proceeds to tell of why he did it blah blah

THEN THE MC GETS TO MEET HARRY

Que harry being so confused but so happy cause nwo he has more family that isn't on the run(poor padfoot) who he can now ask for advice because he finds himself actually more powerful then his peers and it scares him

QUE ALL THE FUN FAMILY SHIT Running rampit in my head

Does this make sense? SOrry if this doesn't make sense i needed to get it outta my head before I vibrate into the void

Epic or Emotional Scenes/Plot Points from Stormlight Archive Explained Badly #2: The Death of Gavilar (Roshar's Worst Husband) Kholin

The Crab People Who Can Think sign a treaty with some tall, warmongering, racist-against-eye-color humans*, who aren't even from the planet and have historically enslaved The Crab People Who Cannot Think. Bad idea, IMO...but I digress. The reason some crab people cannot think is because their spirit god is trapped in a rock or something. Anyway, the King of the Racist Oppressors by Eye Color tells one of The Crab People Who Can Think that he’s gonna basically rapture back some wildly insane and powerful Crab Gods and he fully expects The Crab People Who Can Think to be excited about it.

Obviously, he thought wrong because The Crab Person Who Can Think, who he told, immediately tells her 'thinking crab leaders' and they all immediately make some decapod plans to thwart the King of the Eye Racists. Some clinically insane human ‘gods’ counsel the 'thinking crab leaders' and, naturally, the 'thinking crab leaders' take their unhinged advice. They use a rock to set this bald child assassin, who doesn't like walking on rocks, on the King of the Racists. The King of the Racists loses the fight against the child assassin, who can fly and stick stuff together. Once the King of the Racists is un-alived (as a result of some bad sticking and flying), the flying child assassin writes a note to the brother of the King of the Racists using the King of the Racist's blood. The blood note says: "Bro, I need you to stop being an alcoholic and figure some shit out for me, even though I enabled your drinking for my own selfish reasons and called you stupid behind your back." Only the Queen of the Racists knows what an awful piece of garbage the King of the Racists was and she doesn't tell anyone so this starts a protracted vengeance war by the Son of the Racists between the tall, warmongering, racist-by-eye-color humans and the crab people. They fight brutally over some napping nightmare-fuel GIANT crabs because everyone who is anyone has crabs or wants crabs. 

This is #1, if you want to read the one I wrote to one of my favorite tumblr blogs when I was yeet-tossed off my rocker last night.

He's Just a Herald and He's On Fire!

So, if there is one consistent theme with protagonists in Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar universe, it's that there is a STARTLING number of them who are misfits in their families, misunderstood, and a little anxious and melancholic about the whole thing. You'd think that this would get boring fast, but Lackey manages to mix up the details enough that they don't meld together in my head, and in point of fact, I have actual favorites. One of whom we are talking about today. That's what this post is for. Lan Chitward is one of my favorite herald protagonists. Let's talk Brightly Burning.

Hi, hello, welcome. If this is your first time on my blog, please be warned that this is A SPOILERIFIC ZONE. I will SPOIL THE CRAP OUT OF THIS BOOK. Consider yourself warned.

Y'all, I am a Shakespeare scholar, so if I ever post anything along the lines of "Tragedies suck and I hate them," please send help, I've been kidnapped. Your girl LOVES a good tragedy, and that's really what this book is: An Amazing Tragedy. But that's just the end for Herald Lavan Firestorm and his Companion Kalira.

At the beginning of this book, we meet Lavan "Lan" Chitward, ugly duckling son of a pair of extremely prosperous merchants who feels ignored, misunderstood, and transplanted from the place that made him happiest. Kiddo has zero desire to follow either of his parents into their trades, so when they hit their wits' ends, said parents send Lan to a merchant-run school so Lan can find himself a direction in life that he feels will suit him.

Lan's parents might not be able to empathize or communicate with their son, but they did try to set him up for success. They tried. They get a couple of points for that. Not a lot. But a couple.

Unfortunately for Lan, he gets to discover the downsides of private school firsthand when he is relentlessly and cruelly bullied by older students. Lan's anxiety and very real, rational fear of bodily and social harm get so bad that to save his life, his Firestarting Gift explodes out of his control. By the time the smoke clears, four boys are dead and Lan is being carted up to the palace to explain to Herald Pol what on earth had been happening in his school and how the fire started. Stress from being questioned makes Lan lose control again, but before he can start a second killer fire, Kalira chooses Lan. Handily, Kalira is the daughter of Pol's companion, Satiran, so Pol is aware from the jump that Lan is more than just Kalira's Choice: The two are lifebonded.

Go nuts, Ao3.

However, this is about when the members of the heraldic circle start looking at each other sideways and going, "oh no. Firestarting Gifts usually only pop up when we're going to need them..." So while Lan is getting tutored by Pol, Kalira, his new best friend Tuck, and Pol's daughter Eleanor, Karse is causing trouble at the border--like preparing to invade and burn all the heralds to death trouble. Karse is not your friend, and their sun priests tend to target heralds and healers, and the only thing worse than being killed by Karsite troops is being taken alive to be burned at the stake or--for healers--be forced to use your gift until you burn out and die. So: Bad Situation.

Ultimately, the command decision is made to send Lan to the front. Lan at this point is an emotionally unstable, half-trained at best trainee herald. The poor kid is getting yeeted into a situation he is absolutely unprepared to handle. Before he and Pol even MAKE it to the front, they're attacked by a scout group and Pol is blinded--put a pin in that, we're going to come back to it. So Lan gets to the front already traumatized and somewhat sans his trusted mentor. It's not good.

Ultimately, the title of this book comes back to haunt Lan and Kalira: they burn, too brightly. Kalira takes an arrow in battle to save Lan, and in his grief and rage, Lan unleashes his final strike, taking out the Karsite army, an entire pine forest, and even some of his own soldiers--firestorms are hard to aim. Lan is posthumously raised to full Herald rank, and losing their entire army puts Karse on the shelf. It's the very definition of a pyrrhic victory, however. Lan burned himself out at age sixteen. He was a half-trained child doing his level best, and he was put in a situation that he was objectively unready for. It's heartbreaking, it's tragic...it's WONDERFULLY done.

The entire time you're reading this book and falling in love with Lan and Kalira, you're thinking "they'll be alright, won't they? They have to be alright." But you have enough other beloved characters that you get to know well enough that you also get to mourn with them once Lan and Kalira are gone. You get pulled into this story and you just want to hug Lan and stick him somewhere safe. This is one of my favorite Valdemar books, no question.

This is where I want to just briefly come back to Herald Pol and the attack that costs him his sight. I have no objection about the context in which this occurs. Shit happens in war. It's tragic, it's traumatic, it COMPLETELY SUCKS, but there aren't any red flags in terms of how Pol is disabled. There is also a fairly realistic period in which Pol is trying to adjust to not having sight. He also can see through Satiran's eyes for short periods of time because magic, but since this comes with a cost in energy and magic and doesn't inherently negate the disability, we're still fine. It's an emergency stopgap measure, not a functional cure. So far, so fine.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of things I don't love about how Pol's blinding is handled. The first thing is a bit "your mileage may vary" rather than a genuinely harmful negative representation, but it threw up a faint red flag when I was reading, so I'm talking about it. Traumatic injuries are so described for a reason; people have very very valid feelings and reactions to being suddenly and violently disabled, and part of adjusting is having the time and space to work through those feelings. Now. Pol and Lan are literally in a war zone, they are indispensably important figures, so they can't just be sent home. There also kind of isn't time and space to deal with the emotions in a war zone. All of that is fair enough. It would suck to have to just swallow the feels and keep functioning, and that could even lead to some good narrative tension.

That's not what happens though.

I'll just give you the text from the book for this bit:

Some time during the ride to headquarters, Pol had made up his mind on several points; it had given him relief from the pain to work things logically through in that way. Losing his eyesight was not going to be a tragedy, and if Ilea could not Heal him, then he would simply accept that. The events of the evening only confirmed that belief. He worked through everything as logically as he could during the ride, and during that night and the day and night that followed, in his dreams he was able to employ a technique called directed dreaming to work through things emotionally. It wasn't easy; he exhausted himself all over again, weeping for what he had lost and raging against everyone involved, including himself. But it had to be done, and quickly, and dreams were the best and least harmful place to do so.

I'm not going to say that his experience as a Herald and soldier don't give this some credibility, and I'm not going to say that narrative compression isn't a thing that writers can and do use to get characters from emotional point a to point b, but this stretched my credibility just a skooch and made me go, "They're going to keep him blind, right?"

Reader, they healed him at the end of the book. Can we PLEASE let him live a full herald life while blind??? He was no less effective without his sight than with it, and A LITTLE PHYSICAL DISABILITY REP AMONG THE ACTIVE-DUTY HERALDS WOULD BE LOVELY. Plenty of them live with anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, or other mental health challenges, but heaven forbid a herald have a physical disability.

This is a pattern I'm noticing more and more in books. Soldiers and soldier-adjacent characters can experience mental illness and disability, but not physical. It's that really annoying mind-body split looming large, and I don't have a good solution for this other than letting active duty characters also have physical disabilities, rather than having them be cured, retired, or in roles that never require them to be in the field. And I do get that like...if you are physically disabled, your best bet is not to be in a fight, but that's not how LIFE works. Sometimes the fight comes to you, or your expertise is needed in the field. It happens. LET IT.

Other than my growing frustration with disability rep in military, military-adjacent, and martial-esque organizations in fiction, I love this book to little tiny pieces. It's a beautifully executed tragedy without being self-indulgent or unnecessarily maudlin.

whumpee — who was shot or stabbed and is lying on their back in the pool of their own blood, left alone to bleed out — has no other choice but to perform the emergency medical procedure on their own body if they want to survive. with shaky hands and excruciating pain, they begin stitching up and closing the gaping wound on their stomach, praying it’s enough to stop the bleeding and to keep them alive until help arrives.

*inspired by that scene in American Mary ;) I would attach to this post the screenshot of the scene to give you more of the idea of what I was talking about here, but since it was graphic, I didn’t wanna risk my blog being yeeted into the abyss. so if you’ve seen the film, you know what I’m talking about. if you haven’t and wish to check the movie out, please make sure you also google all the trigger warnings this movie contains before deciding if you still want to see it.

[lumenflowered]

//did you actually play through one of the johto games as maria for this?

//if so, do you have any screenshots you could share on main?

OOC: I did! still am, as a matter of fact! I'm currently playing through refined gold, a romhack of heartgold which supposedly did not change much beyond allowing some pokemon (horsea, murkrow) to be acquired sooner but also I didn't read the documentation as closely as I should have and only discovered that it buffed major story trainers (gym leaders, silver, team rocket, pokemon league) once I got to falkner and he had a hoothoot.

I'm a bit of a pokemon veteran, or at least I'd like to think so... so a "minimal buffs" romhack was honestly a reasonable amount of challenge. I miss not having to deal with hms though. and tms being reusable. and the party-wide exp share. do you realize how much time I spent grinding in victory road and lance STILL clapped my ass.

anyway, let's see what I can dig up...

(putting this below a cut because I dug up a lot of screenshots)

most recent screenshot: that fucking gyarados was the bane of my existence because I don't have any electric-type moves and SOMEONE had the bright idea to give it DRAGON DANCE. which it used. four times.

a choice scarf is not enough to outspeed a 4x dragon dance gyarados. in-character, maria won by the skin of her teeth. out of character, oh goD that took me like three tries because of the dragon dance incident. more like two because I got some really terrible rng on the second try and went "fuck this" like ten seconds in, but still.

anyway I unfortunately did not think to get a screenshot of the hall of fame and I am not fighting lance again specifically for that screenshot, sorry guys, I'm not fucking with that gyarados aGAIN

sassy lost child when did you play ace attorney. (I was. NOT PREPARED for the silver fight. it took me four solid tries to beat him. which was part of my motivation for going "y'know what he can have this win in the blog canon.")

(honestly, if I had too much trouble with lance, I was fully prepared to yeet maria into kanto some other way. but he was beatable. evelyn carried the hell out of that fight. and she is still just a seadra ingame, though I do have a king scale ingame, she'll evolve eventually.)

look how fucking Shaped the honchkrow sprite is, btw. peak birb.

one of these options is really not like the others

[ade voice] call an ambulance... BUT NOT FOR ME

(she was faster)

the team! from back in the ice path I think?

I did, out of character, spend like a week playing voltorb flip to get an ice beam tm for evelyn. saw some REALLY weird rows such as this one with 5 voltorbs and no points, and several rows with a lot of points and no voltorbs. I think the highest I got was like... level 7/8. once. (technically could have cheated using savestates and gotten through it much faster but I feel like maria would be disappointed in me for that one.)

one of the team rocket admins had a really weird smeargle the message I sent this screenshot with was "what the fuck is this smeargle on" and I stand by that tbh

thanks reina.

the power of FLUFFY BOYS compels thee

I spent a bunch of time in the pokeathlon to get a fire stone for molotov (since I couldn't find it in the kimono girls' closet ingame) and. y'all may not know this. but the pokeathlon SUCKS ASS to play on an emulator. in-character I think maria would be best at the skill course due to her bloodborne weapon scaling REALLY WELL with a stat called skill. out of character that was the worst one to do on an emulator by far, I eventually managed to eke out enough victories on the jump course to get that fire stone and I don't plan on going back.

I have a lot of screenshots of Ade at low (but not 0!) hp.

see I remembered this happening but I forgot how you literally just WALK IN THERE AND HE HYPER BEAMS A GUY. (the guy's... maybe not fine but like. he's alive enough to complain about it afterwards. he's fine lance didn't commit a murder.)

lol. lmao even.

the funny thing is that she would have believed him if rotomblr hadn't spilled the beans on "yeah that's a wholeass champion"

this is the Rat, my hm slave.

because I have played bloodborne (kind of currently playing it? don't have access to it most of the time but I'll be able to continue my save in march) and gotten the dialogue of particular characters you meet early on, I feel no guilt in dubbing the rat "gehrman." he is permanently level 20 because that is evolution level and rattata can't learn strength but raticate can.

(youngster joey's rat later got named gehrman because 1) I thought it would be hilarious 2) a bit of a nod to the rat that I wouldn't be able to beat the game without, because hms suck and I hate them.)

live footage of evelyn sweeping the ENTIRETY of jasmine's team on take two of that gym. she's terrifying I love her <3

one of the QOL things that this particular romhack does is allow trade evos to evolve through different requirements. haunter's, for example, is learning shadow ball. which it does naturally at level 36.

I did not realize this until after I used the morty tm. on my gastly.

ade really wanted to evolve twice in one day. I have never b-buttoned a pokemon quite so much before in my life. (also yes I could have grabbed an everstone from professor elm but by the time I thought of that I was midway through the radio tower and could not be assed to go get that yet.)

behold, the Rat. I was fully intending to leave him at level 4 forever before I discovered rattata can't learn strength.

(also, I find it deeply amusing that furret can learn surf.)

one (1) fear: WHITNEY'S MILTANK.

it had a lum berry. and attract. and milk drink. for gameplay purposes, rakuyo is a guy, and at that point I only had rakuyo, hunter, and molotov. so that miltank was. a Nightmare.

youngster joey is the SINGLE opposing trainer who maria actually gave her number to, because I thought it would be funny.

she is less annoyed than I am by his constant calls about the top percentage rat.

baby hunter!

...god I don't think there was a single gym in this romhack where it wasn't at least a little down to the wire. olivine excluded, but that's specifically because jasmine kicked my entire ass the first time around and I trained a bunch more for the second one.

baby rakuyo! they've come so far <3

anyway that's. all the screenshots I can dig up that are fun. hi yes I have so many thoughts about this. come closer. :P

23, 31, 40

23: OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like? This is a fun one. Gail and Erica's dad died before they were born, so I always imagined that his time with their mom was really special and sweet even though it was cut short and he was just a great person. I don't remember why, but when I yeeted them into a Marvel AU, and realized their dad may still be alive in that world... I made him kind of a jerk. Like his time with their mom WAS perfect and amazing but if he hadn't died at that point, he would have left her etc etc. So the idea that they had of their dad turned out to be completely wrong and they have to both grapple with that in their own way (Erica by fighting him, Gail by saying she doesn't care)

31: Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really) Luckily for everyone, I actually made blogs for each of the Fledge Fighters many years ago. Here's Gail's

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? 

MANY! I'm a bit of a maladaptive daydreamer so a lot of my memories ARE of my characters, either pretending to be them or to interact with them. From a very young age. I just never stopped having imaginary friends, lol As one example, there was a hallway in my house that turned a corner into another room, and I was in my Naruto phase, so every time I walked down that hallway I imagined my character doing a kick turn thing off that wall. Once in a while I attempted to actually do it irl....

[annabeth-wise-girl]

Alright, so-

Icarus is a ghost who possesses a mirror, and his first appearance was him messing around with the gods (minus Melinoë). After a talk, Icarus calmed down, and is now dating Hermes. This cause an uproar of dead people coming alive, like Cassandra, Orpheus, Achilles and recently Jason the Argonaut and Medea.

After that, it was pretty calm, Enyo and Melinoë got together though. Then the revolution was planned. I’m not actually sure who started it, but if my memories serve me correctly, it was Aphrodite and Ares ? But point is, they have a battle plans and everything.

Then The Manipulator made an appearance. Ares made an off - handed comment about how he misses Eos, and Aphrodite took offense to that. The Manipulator obviously made it worse, and since Ares and Aphrodite were important members in the revolution, it was pretty stressful, but they made up eventually (seven hours, to be specific).

So while that happened, Hera tried to manipulate Hypnos into joining her side by taking advantage of the fact his mother was busy and tried to replace her. Nyx, as expected, was not happy. And she was even angrier when she was caught up on what was happening, so she decided she had enough and yeeted both Zeus and Hera into Tartarus.

Dionysus was elected king, but The Manipulator went after Apollo and made him a power hungry tyrant. He even pulled a bow on Aunt Artemis ! He was talked down, but during that, The Manipulator went after Icarus.

The Icarus part was… Complicated. You should definitely go ask Hermes or Melinoë about it, since I mostly stay away from it.

After that, nothing extremely important happened, just some shenanigans here and there, like Hermes and Melinoë making a panic hole, Iris apparently have a twin and they scammed Hypnos, Hypnos and Thanatos both have the hot for Ares (keep that in mind), a priestess showed up and my dad adopted her.

Then Eris showed up. And she was a bitch. So Nyx trapped her in a constellation. That’s it. This comes back later though.

So, I’m not actually sure how this happened, but Ares, Aphrodite, Melinoë and Enyo ended up in a situation. That ended with Aphrodite, Melinoë and Enyo in a polycule, Ares and Thanatos is dating, and Aphrodite and Ares is also dating.

Then Eris escaped, so now me, Liara and Astrid is gonna go on a quest to get her back soon.

So Deimos showed up and he dated Prietess, it was pretty nice, but then Deimos found about about Zeus and Hera, so he tried to help them (Hera manipulated him) escape, that’s an on going issue.

Somewhere along that, Prietess and Deimos had a fall out, and it affected Prietess pretty badly. Still not sure how that’s going, but Medusa showed up ! And Atlas too, so you and Percy might wanna avoid him.

Yeah, pretty much all major godly stuff that happened. Now, demigodly stuff that happened is a whole nother story, but I’ll send you that list when you asked, since I don’t wanna blog your inbox.

Now that I’m writing this, I realised we never figure out who The Manipulator is…

…

Wow. That’s a lot more than I thought. And what do you mean Atlas is here? Isn’t he supposed to be holding up the sky? And please do tell me about the demigod stuff, i don’t mind.

[papermint-airplane]

I'm alive!

More or less. 💀

Y'all oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD I've had two terrible weeks for absolutely no reason whatsoever but I've got some Base Sim Project townies ready to go and I'll be putting them up VERY SOON. No concrete dates because last time I did that, everything went to shit. 🙃

Work has been absolutely grim lately and when I did get time to play, my game updated to the EA app and everything was fine at first until the first time it did its stupid little update routine (I forgot to disable auto updates) and it deleted all my settings and then I couldn't get the borderless window to work right and everything looked horrible and I still can't get it exactly right like it was before and I got so frustrated, I was about to yeet my computer, delete my blog, and throw myself down a well to live on algae and trash for the rest of my life. A perfectly rational level-headed response. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ So I took a break from Tumblr for a bit. Not by choice, it's just that all my spoons were gone and all I had left were stabby knives. It wasn't the right time for interacting with people. 😭😭😭

I think I got my game mostly looking right now though so my screenshots won't be in some godawful resolution with all these weird little artifacts everywhere. I have no idea what happened but if it happens again, some inanimate object in my vicinity is getting strangled. If work can stop being the bane of my existence and I can actually have like five fucking minutes to enjoy life for fucking once, I'll be back to my regular barely-stable-but-at-least-present self.

I have a lot of blog subs to catch up on my dash. Y'all are fixing to get so many notifications from me just liking all the posts I've missed.

SHIPPING QUESTIONS

— @axewhirl

12. do you ship any rarepair?

what is a rarepair for kat? i'm not sure, i'm not very into the league fandom other than the rpc. does kat//lux count? bc i like it tbh. i like her and darius a lot, and other stuff that i shipped through rping in the past, like with sett and leona and samira. i think? that's it but honestly especially when it comes to rp i'm just open to anything that might seem interesting.

19. is there a ship you used to dislike, but now you like?

that happened in a different blog! there was a canon warcraft ship i wasn't a fan of involving a muse i wrote, and then came along someone writing the other half of the canon ship but with a take that made it make sense to me. for kat, though, none that i can think of.

37. how does your muse handle breakups?

terribly. i've talked about it before, but katarina isn't very open to love. her experiences with letting people get close almost universally ended up bad, and she tends to keep them at a distance, trying to do it even when she starts to get feels. she doesn't want to let herself be in love because she's so afraid she'll end up hurt, because people either betray her or leave.

so regardless of verse, breakups just sort of make that fear into a reality. she isn't the type to openly show she's heartbroken, though, and will do anything she can to hide and just not really deal with those feelings (she feels everything very deeply, imo, and heartbreak is no exception). so she's not the type to hide from the world and cry and mope and such. instead, she's more likely to keep herself busy in any way that'll distract her from her feelings, be it overworking or acting extra reckless bc hey it's better to be concerned about staying alive than her broken heart lmao and i think that applies regardless of verse. she'll be taking more upon herself in canon, she'll prefer the needless risk over the safer options. and in modern verse i feel that'd also apply, but on top of either working more or engaging in risky behavior, she'd likely go out a lot, hang out with friends a lot, and try to never be alone for long enough she has time to think about it.

of course that doesn't work literally all the time, but yeah she'd prefer to be out there doing things and living life instead of taking time for introspection. when she is alone, maybe she'll let herself be sad and cry about it

also 'friendly exes' doesn't exist in her vocabulary. like i said, she doesn't open up for serious things easily (she needs to have serious feelings for someone and know and trust them enough she'd give them a chance), so when she does she doesn't give up on her relationships easily, and if they fail and she ends up hurt and heartbroken, she doesn't wanna be friends with the other person. if she can't pretend they don't exist, she'll be extra mean - especially to them directly.

[colnerys]

brief rundown of my blog's timeline post ds9 before i update it on my dossier:

2376- takes command of ds9 in an official capacity as the "new year" (at least the standardized calendar they use or whatever says) comes. it's the same year she gets attainted (aka. excommunicated by the vedek assembly) for releasing an ancient semi-prophetic text that did not view the bajoran prophets as gods but rather, aliens. this is a rough year — oh also, starfleet decided to use ds9 as a rehab for ro so.... ensue headaches

late-2376 : they receive a distress call from europa nova, takes in a bunch of refugees whilst kira n co are also trying to find the source of the disaster. uh tldr: she ends up goin thru an iconian gateway, ends up in the DQ, gets hunted by the hirogen before yeeting herself into an escape pod and end up on some m-class planet. oh yes, and she straight up dies. dw, she comes home to ds9 alive (it's on the dossier im not typing this part again)

2377- happy new year! except, it's not so happy. bajorans on the station don't wanna be associated with her, and it's rough. ironically, kira has to play as a mediator between the bajoran government, starfleet, AND the cardassian government. she hates it. really, she does.

anyways, rumors begin to spread about a potential official summit between bajor, the federation, and cardassia. tensions on the station are HIGH. oh yeah, remember how kira uploaded a book? well, it sorta started a fringe religious movement that's sorta just brewing in the background

2378- another year another year of bULLSHIT! some starfleet admiral's picking on her (at least she believes it to be), shakaar and his governments being a bitch baby. she's so done. she just wants to be doing anything but THIS

oh yeah the defiant? right, so the current founders (aka odo & co) and ds9 (and ds9 only!) made an agreement to let them conduct exploratory missions in the gamma quadrant again. julian and ezri —— THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO SHE TRUSTS AT THIS POINT —— gone out exploring.

oh yeah, also people started protesting on the promenade. some were anti-cardassian (one of ziyal's artwork gets vandalized) and some were anti-vedek assembly. a small group of people are beginning to speak frankly about how kira's been mistreated. you can say, she's once again, an icon and symbol —— WHICH SHE DOES NOT WANT ONCE AGAIN

oh yeah have we mentioned voyager's returned? yeah so it's... docked here for some time now being studied like an organism under a microscope. yep. ds9's tourism industry is THRIVING

2379- remember kira's lil religious movement she accidentally started? yeah that's why they haven't picked a new kai yet. imagine the chaos in the assembly. just imagine. well, it wasn't as bad as when winn adami was in charge but STILL.

guess what??? there's also talks about bajor potentially joining the federation. oh what great timing this all is.... cue kira looking longingly at the wormhole with her emotional support baseball.

oh yeah during this time she's also been visiting kasidy on bajor as much as she can and they're raising the sisko-yates kid semi-together. it's abt the only thing she looks forward to anymore. that and video calling the o'briens.

mid-2379: oh my! they found kai opaka and she's ALIVE?!?! gasp! hey guess what? opaka chastised the vedek assembly for not allowing kira to openly practice her faith. uh tldr: they kinda got bullied into letting kira back and thank fuck for that

late-2379: bajor's supposed to sign the treaty to join the federation but uh drama happens and they don't sign... again. (deciding if i wanna keep the whole trill unjoined plotline ngl) but yknow what... it's fine... right???

2380: honestly for the first time, it's a pretty tame year... thank fuck for that. bajor and the federation are still in negotiations on what it means to join the federation and what not. hey look! it's shaxs! and mariners mom lmao

2381: bajor joins the federation (yaaaay) omg ben sisko is that you??? oh thank fuck they can all relax for once... right? oh yeah kira gets the captain title and a bunch of belated as fuck commendations

late-2381: EEEE WRONG! oh yeah there was a jem'hadar sent over from the great link? well something Bad happened and he shish kebob'ed kira's heart and shattered ro's spine. welp.

2382: well she lives... again. had a prophetic vision during her coma, she has a new heart now. oh that attack? well... turns out the mirrorverse strikes again! (it's in my dossier i'm not typing it all up again lmao)

2383 - 2386: honestly it's been pretty normal though for years now at this point she's been trying to push for diplomatic negotiations with the dominion but uh starfleet back office sends any mail from kira straight to spam! oh yeah she and garak definitely still talk and talk shit abt their own governments

2387: so we know how the supernova happened right? well see... behind starfleet's back, she and a few romulans she's befriended during the dominion war have been sorta just... transporting people over little by little. some, by bribing whatever connections quark has; some, literally on their tiny little runabouts. needless to say, they've done more than the fucking federation lmao

2388 - 2398: at this point she's just tired of starfleet back office... THANK GOD THEY NEVER COME HERE! the only station treated worse than ds9 is starbase 80! zoinks! also, ro's been her first officer for a bit but at some point section 31 stole her away. another reason why kira hates section 31. all her homies hate s31.

2399-2401: you're here. in the present. see? kira was right but noooo starfleet doesn't negotiate with war criminals :/ (honestly depending on how the rest of the show goes... this might tweak)

[deviantartdramanow]

Yet another day of Gelly being attacked on the blog by a 'not alive but totally dead lupiss hiding in anons like a pussy' while Club continues to ignore his friend's pain and suffering while he gets bonked over and over again by Heart to stop bothering kids with his diaper fetish rps. Those two need to yeet him and go find some better friends IMO. Club is a terrible friend.

Announcement

It's been a while, isn't it? qwq

---

Anyways, I have an announcement to share. This blog will turn into my own personal blog, meaning it will no longer post anything about this project (except some conditions like small updates and the like) and instead talk about just about anything else. However, that doesn't mean I will stop talking about it or even abandon the project, CPST's still alive actually! This blog will be moved to a secondary blog. (Yes, this blog is actually a primary blog lmao.) Why would I do this, you ask? Because I actually wanted a personal Tumblr account of my own again. Kinda miss this place. I'm also glad there are currently no g*rlb*ts following this account. I used to have a personal account a year ago or so but those stupid b*ts keep following me, I am soooo tired of trying to send them to Jiuzi's Block Hell™, so I yeeted my acc. Istg if there is a surge of these b*ts again I am going to rot. Actually I'll try my best to keep my cool whenever I see them and try to send them to my Block Hell again. Promising to myself that I will 🍀

Anyways, see ya on @cpstproj! 👋

[valarioncy]

We are very excited about this project. :>

We got Adam and Kai swapping bodies. We got a medieval fantasy episode where Mira actually is a witch. We got a goofy-ass episode where the gang is trapped in a stereotypical family sitcom.

We also got angst! Dark themes! Existential dread! Kai's parents! The pool incident! Vanessa's surprise birthday party! And Kristoff! (You'll all find out about Kristoff soon enough.)

Oh and... guys, we have SKEET! Look at him! He's alive! He's traumatized!

I'm due to post a few things about it to my blog once we're ready, yeet. -Cy

the hollow netflix simultaneously has the opportunity to be the funniest sitcom and the scariest black mirror esque horror ever
