Compared to Compton's Cookoff, I feel Mentallis' Movies stages would include a lot more backstages as well sets, showing the stage of completion of the different 'scenes'. (I didn't mean to make this into a pun, but it fits really well!) It's an on-going movie shoot setting, after all.

You're never done dazzling the audience! You must make sequels upon sequels! (Aka placating and impressing the public.)

you come across a backstage/greenroom type area with movie posters like PSYCHONAUTS 56: PLEASE FUND OUR NEW MAILROOM!! Starring Otto and Truman

What are the Polterpups' favorite toys?

Hockey pucks, cardboard, and Callahan!

Cardboard is really less of a 'toy' and more a tool they use to bait stadium staff and athletes into chasing them around for a bit of fun (and also it tears up very nicely and helps calm the gnawing hunger in some of them), and hockey pucks are an easy item they can boredom-chew without getting in trouble for damaging anything (since the pups only have teeth when they're truly angry) that can also be thrown/hit/rolled for them to fetch.

The Polterpups as a whole are easily excitable and prone to excitement displacement tactics, as well, and some of them self-soothe by chomping on their boss. Callahan's natural icy-ness and relatively steady emotions (y'know...when he's not causing a blizzard or two >.>) helps ground them before they can get too worked up and bite something/someone they're not supposed to.

I love your Los Brujos in all flavors, they're so much family that annoys and loves each other!

What are your favorite things about the three brothers?

Hahaha thank you! 🥺 i would say over all, my favorite things about them is how silly they are!!

A lot of their personalities/traits are based on my experiences with people I know, so writing their dialogue feels like conversations with loved ones. 💖

Specifically though, I love Adrián’s mischievousness, I love Manuel’s sensitivity, and I like Víctor’s charisma.

I wanted to tell you that I love you fic there's blood on your lies.

On a different and silly note, chapter 209 as well as the comments made me imagine Laventon accidentally time-travelling forward in Galar, and meeting several Galar characters. Including Sonia, his maybe-descendants Hop and Leon, etc.

He might have the bad luck to be around for the Darkest Day: Electric Boogaloo. He feels like hitting his head on a table once he hears why that happened.

Cynthia sprints via plane over from Sinnoh to Galar once she hears her friend also made an involuntary time-jump. Nothing is going to stop her from seeing him. (And she and Sonia and Raihan talk about everything regarding history.)

oh hi! thank you lol. I'm glad you like it ^-^

pfft. that sounds like a very fun fic idea I'd love to read if someone else wrote it and I absolutely do not have the time to write myself, augh.

Who are the main characters and protagonist(s) in Shifting Gears?

Firstly, I'm so so sorry for only just getting to this ask! I've been traveling for the past month, so I haven't been able to answer asks for a while, so I shall respond to this now!

Additionally, tumblr inbox has been strange for me as the icon doesn't show up on desktop for me anymore? And on mobile, i have to scroll through my notes to see asks, the ui can be SO confusing!

But seeing this made me excited as I haven't thought or spoke about Shifting Gears on here, so tysm for this ask!! I genuinely appreciate every single ask you send about my stories or ocs, so thank you so much!!

So for Shifting Gears, I had a cast of characters who I developed briefly a few years back, but I put the story on the backburner in 2020 and just never got back to it.

The general premise of the story is the main character Alena lives in Pixicity, a city which is designed for people to benefit from Pixie Technologies in return for their work and abilities, in whatever capacity they can. She's normally content to live in the city and work for the company, but started feeling uneasy when her grandma passes away in a sudden accident during work. Alena was given very little explanation for her grandma's death, which leads her to go through her grandma's belongings in hopes of clues, only to find a letter to go to Azaadi, and a map on how to go there with only a single return address on it. Alena, in hopes of figuring out what happened to her grandma, decides to head there, while risking her job and in turn, her life.

There's 3 characters I've developed so far, and a 4th character who I started writing the concept of but haven't developed in detail yet.

Alena David: A 24 years old Black woman whose grandma passed away and decides to go to Azaadi to find out what happens to her grandma. She originally worked as a bio-technologist in Pixicity and took a break from her job in the beginning of the story.

Sabira Malik: A 25 years old Indian woman who's Alena best friend, and works as an accountant for Pixie Technologies.

Xinyi Li: A 24 years old Chinese nonbinary person who's known for their fashion looks and tries to help their friends Sabira and Alena with their fashion sense, from time to time.

Omen Malin: I haven't developed him much yet, but he is the one Alena meets in Azaadi who helps her figure out what happens to her grandma!

Those are all the characters I have so far, but if I pick this story up again, hopefully, I can add more characters and develop them more! Thank you again for this ask, I hope you have a lovely day!!

One of the things that I love about how you wrote Vakama in mask Masker? He defies his creators who always sought to do undo their mistakes completely, one way or another. As if they never happened. Instead of healing the damage they inflicted and learning from their mistakes.

Vakama says, no more. No more trying to act as if it never happened. It reminded me of his conversation with Onewa back when they were Toa Metru. When they went to that giant conveyer belt where tools and masks would be destroyed.

"It keeps us from learning from our mistakes. We just melt them down and make them go away."

I'm glad that theme rang true for you! That particular idea developed slowly over the course of writing the story, thinking about why exactly the GBs would want something like a Mask of Time, and what they might use it for. There's a contrast then between how the GBs want to do things, and what their creation(s) choose to do instead. Thanks for the feedback--it means a lot! :]

I think your ™️ is deep analysis of whatever story has engaged you currently. At the moment, it's Dracula and other English books from the 19th century you're reading in the Daily format.

Haha, that probably sums me up pretty well!

To alert you about bad news: tumblr OP jiangluyue has resposted art of several artists, including at least one of your pictures. You find them in the bionicle tag.

-sigh- cant have shit in this house

I don't have a RP blog, so I hope this is okay for the ask meme? "Shit my brother has said / done"

❛ ____ It’s dark and I hear laughing. ❜

"I can only fix one of those problems." Gawain shifted with a quiet clank to brace himself up on one knee. His little companions had scattered somewhere between the blackout and the gunfire, and while he knew they would be alright (as he doubted normal bullets could kill a ghost), he wished he had at least one of them still with him.

Most humans couldn't take more than one armored punch to the jaw, but Chopper's blade form was by far a much more intimidating deterrent.

"Unfortunately, remedying the darkness issue may draw the attention of the one laughing, so we may want to remain within it's shelter, for now." He shifted to face the civilian crouching with him behind the overturned desk, just barely able to make out their features in the dim light cast by the mystical flame (now little more than embers, without his companions around) on his helmet. "Are you injured anywhere?"

Otto Brain DLC. Hollis preemptively calls from her vacation into the Motherlobe and requests another week of vacation. She had a feeling... Truman looks around and sighs, "I'll finalize the paperwork. You've built up enough for another one, and we have enough hands."

Because it'd be unfair to dump all of that chaos at Hollis' feet just as she returned to work.

Using precognition to avoid the chaos of this mess, queen shit

This is a headcanon I had for a while-

The Infinite Realms were originally not an afterlife. Some would still argue that they're not one, never mind that it's now home to at least some thousand ghosts.

Before, there used to be only spirits, concepts, and maybe some gods. It became populated with ghosts when humanity's numbers climbed and their deads' energy plus feelings were enough to coalesce in the Infinite Realms into shapes which recreate their personalities.

Vivi is vibrating in her shoes when she realizes that.

👀

((I love this??))

I've seen a lot in fanon that the Infinite Realms connect to other universes - that it is the place everything else connects to - and I really like that idea. I thought about it like multicolored yarn - the universe was one color, the Infinite Realms were another, and in between, where the colors mixed, was the Afterlife/Afterlives of the universe in question.

If it's possible for spirits to travel back to the mortal coil from an afterlife (giving us ghosts and spirits and all sorts of things in the living world), then it makes sense that they'd be able to travel the opposite way, and end up in the Infinite Realms, right?

Most of them probably get there by accident. There's probably no road map to the afterlife, so in trying to go back home/visit their family/friends/haunt their murderers/etc., a lot of souls could end up in the Infinite Realms (or they just. Fall through the proverbial cracks on their way TO the afterlife. That's a possibility, too). The Realms, being infused with the energy and presence of godlike beings, Concepts and Forces of the Universe, slowly adapted itself around these new souls as more and more of them found their way there, and likewise forced those souls to adapt to it, which might explain why ghosts from the Realms tend to have such a distinct look.

There are still many places in the Realms where no human soul has ever been - like the Far Frozen, with its Yeti population - but with how many people die every day (and especially if we consider other universes such as DC or Marvel into the equation and just how often they face Universe-ending threats), more and more outside souls keep finding themselves in the Realms.

Hello! *waves* What is Jack's status in the Cactusverse during the time of SwSh?

Hey there @youareshauni!

Good question! During the actual events of SwSh in Cactusverse he is in jail...

Until Sordward and Shieldbert pull rank and bail him out to aid them in their schemes Then he gets put back into jail after everything is said and done with his guards being...Wooloo

Wait! May I ask, did you ever talk about your SheikahOS now initializing… WIP?

I might have and I honestly don't remember doing it but I'm never going to stop myself from chatting about my wips!

so it's a chatfic. set in botw. because chatfics are silly and fun to write and I realized I could pretty feasibly add a chat function to the sheikah slate. and then it spiraled a bit because zelda broke into the chat with goddess powers, and purah decided to get both her and impa chat access, and each of the champions could have access because they were haunting their respective divine beasts.

also it gave me the excuse to start playing a new save of botw again along with the fic I was writing. (part of the reason the fic stalled out is because I lost interest again lol)

one of these days I should pick it up again...

(I also had a sort of. adjacent fic that was the same concept with age of calamity, never got very far on that one either tho :C)

thanks for the ask! :)

Second part of the ask. Or rather, how would their stories shift in that genre? (Since cyberpunk is a genre, not a setting. I apologize for the confusion.)

Hello!!

I realized I partly already answered this in the first part of the ask, but in the genre itself specifically, I think their motivations for how they move in the world would be very different as well. In the original world of Compromised, they live under a monarchy, of which Raina is a major player being the heir to the throne while Iskander lives under her reign, but also has his own job and life separately outside of that. For Raina, she would move about in accordance with what her father or her advisors would do whereas for Iskander, he would move and do things depending on what would help his family and later in the story, Raina as well.

Whereas in Shifting Gears, because the world is so dependent on people intermingling their lives and worth into what they provide to Pixicity, I think there would be restriction for what Raina can do but in the sense of not jeopardizing her job, rather than her royal status in this setting.

For Iskander, I think his motivations would largely remain the same in the sense of caring for his family and doing what's best for them, to whatever it takes, even if it means going against Pixie Technologies.

I think if I were to do a similar plot of Iskander being hired to protect Raina, I could see Raina hiring Iskander to protect her when she notices how he's not scared to go against Pixie Technologies and offering him help to get the city's resources in exchange!

TY FOR THE ASKS AGAIN!! THIS IS SO SWEET
