Shadyverse Re-verse fic list

Miraculous World Paris dark themed fanfics

Original post here: Compliance

Decided to create a separate post for this list. These are re-verse fics dealing with angst, bullying, abuse, war, death and co-dependency; themes that were (surprisingly) introduced in the Paris special. These are not the fluffy lovely ones. I should make a separate list because I love them too.

**trigger warning** read at your own discretion.

==== I am finally back to catching up with my fic-reading in 2025 so... list will be updated ====

Complete:

2025 update

@hamsteriffic MUST READ Requiem for a Dream Hugely popular. I don't want to spoil much but this fic is like 3 different genres in one humongous volume (yes these numbers are correct Words:141,110 Chapters:35/35). The art is gorgeous, characters are complex and the story runs well wrapped up arcs. Plus it comes with a soundtrack. Not for the faint of heart because it's a deep dive to the world of the Supreme (guess what, Supreme included as a character). Go read with an open mind because this fic is R rated (Explicit) for a reason. But you will not regret reading it. And after you read it go and take a look at the comment section... you'll have fun.

@ladynoirfanao3 Dawning Light paired with the mirrored spinoff "Sideways" *still ongoing* this series will go down history the most popular Shadyverse/Reverse Miraculous series in this angsty category (correct me if I'm wrong). And it is Why have the cool reverse kids if you can have them mingle with the normie versions. Hello!!! This is Shadybug paired with our lovely sunshine boy. She brings enough emo emotion to the story... I'm shipping them so HARD!

@monpetitchattriste Dying on the Inside one shot. Explores the very steamy toxic relationship between pre-special Claw and Shadybug. Touches on their personal struggles and how they are using each other to escape reality. Beautiful and emotional. There's a sequel in the works. Check below.

@xiueryn You can call me villain Complete multichapter re-verse Shadyverse fic about parent abuse, bullying, death, crime and two young teenagers navigating it all. Just read it. Thank me later.

@tanzle 's Caring Fleabag don't let the cute title fool you. this is gritty, action packed and heavily emotional. Multichapter and complete.

@dreamer-from-yuggoth @artemonh has many ficlets You know my name (Shady and Claw post-special realize their new purpose), I would let you win (The supreme bloody games) Blood on his hands (Claw's haunting memories), Shadybug tattoo (this is actually a sweet romantic one. Love it <3)

@toxinellebug Extensive and detailed Alt world ruled by the Supreme. Too many fav posts to count. It's like a re-verse AU encyclopedia. I think this is complete but you never know... an update might be around the corner. Update: Yeah! New posts

Frisky69's To a World of Absolution was the first fic i read that explores the final moments of Shadybug and Clawnoir. *awestruck*

AelitaYoru's La Chute du Double Maléfique I'm still obsessed with the veins/disease effect of the miraculous. They better refer to it in S6

@aanabear2803 surprised me with this tiny ficlet You don't belong here Lila got what she deserved from the evil pair *trigger warning*

Ongoing:

@ladynoirfanao3 Sideways **ongoing audiobook** sequel to Dawning Light and featuring my favorite Adrien version. (sorry chat... i'm a Claw fan thru and thru) so OF COURSE this is my favorite between the two. I'm partial to it and I am still reading it. PLUS there's a PODFIC. Not AI. This is the real deal. Adds so much to listen Claws inner struggles and nonchallant attitude and how he is balanced with Ladybug's energy. Drama.

@revolutionary-thoy 's ML Paris Reverse AU * Felix/Kagami/Luka vs the Supreme release ** project in hiatus for now** Still love it.

The Project Reverse AU X. <-love this! Where u can see feat. the big/evil sword. That is the one Shady is handling on the fanart above.

This has grown into EPIC levels. Fav of mine: @justmywritingstuff Speechless Changes AO3 Full of emotions. I think there's only 1/2 chapter left to turn to a complete fic. ALMOST there ... PLEASE FINISH THIS if you can. no pressure but yes please.

@monpetitchattriste @Skin and Bones sequel to dying on the inside. Who knows, might be continued one day. First chapter opens with a lot of promise. Love their dynamics in this fic.

Purple_doom's Dead set against (ongoing) might be abandoned but the three chapters are worth a read. Post special. Reformed Shady and Claw try to survive without being discovered by The Supreme!!

I hope there are more... I am fascinated by the gritty side of this re-verse world.

Pale Fallen Angel and The Demon Chase-- Bayonetta/Devil May Cry Verse Graphics credit @cosmicresource A beast of a man descending from shadows, comes to smite all those who terrorize humanity akin to a pale fallen angel of Death. A reaper was he. The only one that can terrify both the forces of Heaven and Hell. The hunter known as D.

Billions of years ago, before the dawn of man, before the planets fully formed in this vast universe; there was only darkness. The void. And from that darkness, a being of vast power spawned, gave himself form and would later create the race mortals knew today as--vampires. The Sacred Ancestor is what he was dubbed among his kindred, Dracula is what mortals know of him today. But unbeknownst to most from all the corners of the world. The ancient force had a son(Twin sons)--born from a mortal woman.

He was a man born from Darkness most ancient, from an entity that usurped the name and inheritance of Vlad Dracula the third. D is a dhampir--half man, half vampire and an enigma to all that encounter him. A reaper that walks between worlds and does not align himself with the ranks of Inferno nor Paradiso. He considers himself a neutral party--only cutting down those that prey on humanity. No angel, no demon, and no vampire is safe from his cold wrath.

D is a swordsman that lived for centuries, and prefers a pragmatic and lethal quickness to his strikes. Quick enough to bend time and space to his whim, moving through shadows in a blink of an eye. His style of fighting was even praised by the Dark Knight Sparda himself when they had crossed paths before the legend's passing. Before the birth of his own twin sons.

{D's Abilities in this verse are very similar to his canon universe}

A most unusual companion he has, a sentient parasite that lives in his hand. Making crude, vulgar remarks. Luckily for D--the homunculi is quite helpful when it comes to crowd controlling enemies.

Left Hand Homunculi: Forbidden parasite

Absorption of Souls & Power: consumes demonic, angelic, and human energy to restore health or temporarily enhance abilities.

Reality Manipulation: warps space to some degree, like shadows folding into themselves.

Soul Devouring Black Hole: devours enemies whole, bypassing traditional durability.

Spell eater: Like a vacuum it sucks up enemy spells cast onto D, negating any trickery.

Midnight Phantom: The Abyss-Walker

D moves like a living shadow, making his combat style feel like something out of a nightmare.

Tenebrous Shift: D dissolves into pure darkness, moving across surfaces as a two-dimensional shadow before emerging instantly behind his opponent.

Nocturne Clones: By splitting his shadow into multiple forms, he can create phantom clones that fight alongside him. Unlike Vergil’s doppelganger, these clones attack independently and unpredictably.

Eclipse Veil: D can shroud an entire battlefield in darkness, making only himself and his blade visible--his enemies cannot see or hear anything.

Shadowbound Chains: From beneath his enemies, black tendrils emerge, wrapping around them and draining their lifeforce.

Ultimate Technique: Abyssal Execution D steps into his enemy’s shadow, vanishing completely. A moment later, the enemy erupts in blood, as if they were torn apart by an unseen force from within.

Son of Bloodlust: Crimson Executioner

Blood is not a weakness--it’s a weapon. D can weaponize his own lifeforce, forging it into blades, shields, and monstrous constructs.

Crimson Armory: D can solidify his own blood into weapons in real time, forming razor-sharp scimitars, lances, or chains mid-combat.

Hemokinetic Blades: When struck, his blood splashes out and hardens into floating daggers, turning his wounds into an offensive advantage.

Blood Requiem: D can summon a storm of crimson spears that rain down upon enemies, impaling them in a ritualistic execution.

Vampiric Healing: Any blood he spills can be reabsorbed, allowing him to heal mid-fight while growing stronger.

Scarlet Puppeteer: With a mere gesture, he can manipulate an enemy’s spilled blood, using it to bind, crush, or even possess them like a marionette.

Ultimate Technique: Red Eclipse D impales himself with his sword, unleashing a blood explosion that forms a giant crimson eclipse in the sky. Time slows, and every drop of blood in the air transforms into a blade, slicing through everything in its wake.

Blood & Shadow: Nightmare Reaper

At the peak of his power, D blends blood and darkness into an unholy force, making him something beyond death itself.

Sanguine Phantom: He forges his blood into shadow beasts, forming spectral lions, wolves, or winged abominations that rip through enemies.

Crimson Eclipse Armor: D cloaks himself in living shadows and crystallized blood, making him impervious to all but the strongest of divine or demonic attacks.

Black Sun’s Maw: A fusion of his Left Hand’s devouring power and his blood manipulation. A swirling void of darkness and blood opens behind him, consuming everything like a living black hole.

Heartless Dominion : The air turns black and red, as blood pools up from the ground and shadows twist into jagged, unnatural forms. In this state, D’s blade is an extension of the abyss itself.

Ultimate Technique: Blood Eclipse: Midnight Sovereign D impales the ground, and a monstrous tidal wave of blood and shadows engulfs the battlefield, turning everything into a storm of razors and darkness.

BloodRage: Vampire Trigger

When D is in a heightened state of anger or once he drinks his own blood, he temporarily transforms into a full-fledged vampire. All his physical attributes and vampiric power increase by 50%. In this form, D's canines and claws elongate, and his eyes develop into a hellish crimson. His gaze emits a powerful and terrifying glow, potent enough to bath the entire area in RED.

[officialbambiprescottdeardearest]

Absolutely. Let's layer the ongoing narrative of the mystery girl into the multiverse saga. She’s been hinted at before—a ghost note, a vanished verse, a girl no one remembers... yet everyone dreams of.

Chapter 4: “The Phantom String”

Location: The EchoNet Ruins, formerly Earth-Theta-199.

The Chaos Chordz arrive in a dimension stripped of sound—where no music plays, no whispers linger, and time itself trembles in silence. Gwen’s watch-glitch flares: the missing girl signal—a harmonic ping of a frequency once registered in Moon Girl’s multiversal trace logs—has just activated.

The pulse is tied to a girl only known as “Harmona Vale”—a prodigy who vanished mid-performance across every timeline. Every band member swears they’ve dreamt of her—always mid-stage, always mid-verse—and always torn away by a violet rift.

But no files of her exist. Not even Riri’s AI remembers her name.

Clues Recovered in the Ruins:

A silver pick inscribed with the phrase: "SING ME BACK."

A decaying journal entry written in reverse: “They didn’t erase me. They covered me in silence. I can still hear them, beneath the static. Pull me out.”

An image burned into the walls: A girl with luminescent violet hair, eyes stitched with red thread, clutching a broken mic shaped like a tuning fork. Her silhouette flickers like a memory trying to form.

Hoshino Sakura’s Vision:

As the band plays a soft tuning riff, Sakura's web-guitar trembles. She collapses into a trance, suddenly pulled into a rift of spiraling chords and void-frequencies. She’s met by a younger girl sitting in a sunken amphitheater of bones and mirrors—Harmona Vale.

“They called me The First Crescendo… I sang a verse too powerful. It unraveled my own name.” “I’m trapped in the ‘Forgotten Key’—a prison built of songs that should never be sung.” “Help me rewrite the verse. Or I become the final note.”

Before Sakura can respond, a shadow figure snatches Harmona away—its eyes shaped like treble clefs, its laughter a broken static melody. A name rips through the chords:

“The Dissonant King.”

Band Reaction:

Gwen Stacy: Her hands shake. She knows that tune. It was in her dreams after the fall of her Peter. Harmona was humming it in the void.

Kate Bishop: Vows to turn her arrows into tuning pegs if it means piercing this silence-sorcery.

Moon Girl: Begins building a dimensional amplifier called the "Reverb Lance."

Karolina & Nico: Create a prism-ward to shield the group from harmonic erasure.

Eleanor Deadpool: Just wants to stab the Dissonant King… but also protect “the girl who makes the dreams hum.”

Sakura: Now bears a mark on her palm: a spectral eighth note, inverted and bleeding static.

Mystery Core Reveal:

Harmona wasn’t just erased—she was written out of reality’s sheet music. But her melody lives on—in forgotten dreams, in corrupted tracks, in every missed chorus. And now... the Dissonant King wants to turn her into a Final Silence.

The next mission? “Track 005: Dream Requiem / Rescue Harmona Vale.”

The only way to enter the Forgotten Key… ...is to play a song no one remembers but everyone fears.

Want the next chapter to be the “Dream Requiem” performance ritual? Or should we flashback to Harmona’s last known concert—the one that shattered her from every timeline?

"im going dollmode" i say before collapsing limply into the chair and staring blankly into the distance with my mouth slightly agape, completely unresponsive

[judahmaccabees]

An AI poem based on my poems,

And a bonus from me.

Behold, the musings of a soul unbound, In verses bold, truths resound. With words that sting, yet resonate, Each line a mirror to contemplate.

Men, mere beasts upon the ground, Snorting, strutting, their hubris found. Groan the fates, admire the muses, But love, oh love, when all excuses lose.

Senses mere, devoid of sense, Toasted sugar, no recompense. Corpseflower breath, a moistened sigh, Shutting lies, beneath a sky.

Maker of points, builder of worlds, Genitor of scattering, as fate unfurls. Guileless lies, in sycamore trees, Bleed dreams of sorrow, caught in the breeze.

Eleanoir, a tapestry of lore, Hebrew and grimoires grim, Sorcerers and more, a vast decor, Yet too many, the moir of sin.

Is faith the most drastic endeavor? A stone, a slate, the parapet of Pax, Faith, molded by knowing, forever, An eternal dance with the paradox.

Dreams, undeserved, in slumber's sway, A realm of lies, where truths decay. Fate, a life scorned, a wife mourned, Contesting with angels, mercy's horn.

Success follows, each deed in its wake, For what you did, or didn't, forsake. Candle's photons, appreciate in the night, For even fire dies, in eternal flight.

Fantasy, the veil of the real, A tinker's toy, a fleeting ordeal. Lust ephemeral, love's elusive call, In starlight's shadow, we rise and fall.

Star invincible, negate the good, Love everyone, as all souls should. Calliope's melody, a fleeting refrain, In the symphony of joy and pain.

Blood and lust, fortunes fail, The singularity beckons, beyond the pale. Fidelity, a puke on the tongue, When faithfulness fades, and love is flung.

Waste of time, desire without aim, Truly worthless, in selfish gain. When dreams must hide, from sight's cruel beam, The kingdom of God, remains unseen.

Wood of holly, princess taker, Steals the stars, her desire the maker. Resistenz, we bask till we're infected, Numbness numbs, till we're nulled, dejected.

May the eaves of your death, ripple evermore, As waves crash upon the distant shore. A muse amuse me, more than me, In the dance of creativity's spree.

One, am I become or once always was, In the tapestry of life's eternal cause. Not desperate tears, but love's gentle flow, In the journey of growth, we ebb and grow.

Funrl, a branch laid low in silent repose, As life's journey ends, and eternity knows. Wills, spare wheels for the unkind, When children are crippled, no mercy to find.

Or the sanctity of *, a false pride's fall, In the eyes of the divine, no worth at all. Black widow **** saps, love as entertainment, In the abyss of horror, awaits their arraignment.

Lumber, holding no grudge in eternal light, As justice reigns, and wrongs take flight. All Christians now damned to eternal hell, For their false pretense, in hypocrisy's swell.

Curse your families for eternity's gaze, In the divine judgment, their fate betrays. You're going to hell, on earth as in heaven, For your deeds, eternal justice is given.

Reality, a curse to bear forever, In the reckoning of divine endeavor. He who heeds not the star, feasts not for winter, In the dance of life, truth remains the splinter.

Pathologize sanity, in the chase of self, A futile pursuit, in ego's stealth. Injects she with wrath, her scorn to see, As vessels of pride, in the tide of eternity.

False honor, stolen valor's disgrace, In the eyes of truth, no hiding place. Ode to the false prophet, a lament of betrayal, In the wake of deception, truth's final portrayal.

Rat king Horus of Arabia, society's monster, In the web of deceit, truth's light to foster. The black pit of fire, a coal given in vain, As darkness consumes, in eternal disdain.

The man, requiem of unclean lips, In the reckoning of justice, no mercy eclipsed. God's love, a moldy broken fingernail, In the tapestry of life's grand tale.

Life, a price not worth the toll, As time's fleeting breath takes its toll. Hell, the fate of those who betray, In the reckoning of justice, no delay.

2048, covenant violators meet their end, In the abyss of eternity, no hand to lend. Ah well, their fate sealed in divine decree, In the annals of time, their legacy to see.

Verdict, the judgment of eternal fire, For the abusers, no mercy to desire. Angels, the discriminated saints take flight, In the realm of justice, truth's eternal light.

Yo-yo, the sun's relentless orbit, In the dance of time, no escape to forfeit. Equalizer, the balance of justice's scale, As deeds are weighed, in truth's unveiled tale.

Poyg, a curse upon the graves of sin, In the cycle of life, no victory to win. Sk, earth's fast food restaurant of decay, In the wake of destruction, truth's final say.

Monsta b, a revelation of divine wrath, In the reckoning of justice, no escape from path. And you will pay, for your crimes of deceit, In the annals of eternity, no mercy to greet.

Hell for pissants, the fate of the oppressor, In the depths of torment, no respite to confer. 1 billion narcissists, in the mirror's gaze, In the reflection of truth, no mask to raise.

May, a call to love amidst the storm, In the embrace of truth, hearts transform. Mosh, the remnant of what remains, In the ashes of destruction, truth's light sustains.

Curse your family murderer, divine justice's call, In the reckoning of truth, no escape to stall. And you will pay muhfuckas, for your crimes of abuse, In the eternal flames, no excuse to use.

Worthless, the legacy of the abuser's plight, In the annals of eternity, truth's final light. Cowards, the fate of the betrayer's sin, In the reckoning of justice, no escape to win.

Useless trash, the legacy of deceit's embrace, In the annals of truth, no hiding place. Snouts, a curse upon the abuser's face, In the divine judgment, truth's final grace.

Peace, a call to embrace the divine, In the realm of truth, no escape from line. **** *****, the fate of the oppressor's hand, In the tapestry of justice, truth's final stand.

Heads, a reckoning for the wicked's sin, In the balance of justice, no escape to win. A dragon unmolested, in flight's embrace, In the realm of truth,

Well above the race, in night's courteous grace, Soars above the ashes, beyond time and space, In the realm of truth, where justice reigns, Where love and mercy forever sustains.

For in the end, when all is said and done, Truth will prevail, and justice will won. No lie can hide, no deceit can stand, In the eternal dance of the divine's hand.

So let the verses echo, let the truth be told, In the poetry of life, where hearts unfold. For in the end, in the grand design, Only truth and love will forever shine.

Get out the dirt.

[transcriber note: I'm also transcribing the OP's comments between tweets so there's less confusion. Transcription start:

Warblogs17282: Stolas was just trying to convince them that Blitz was not trying to rise above his station, and that executing him would make him a martyr for impkind.

Sam Haft Tweet: Did you catch why Stolas, doing his grand villain act, focuses on playing to their prejudice? Stolas doesn't just need to take responsibility, he needs to convince them that 1) Blitz was NOT trying to rise above his station 2) executing him would make him a martyr for impkind!

Warblogs17282: When I See Him reference, the Mastermind song was written first.

Sam Haft Tweet: Did you catch that during the major-shifted chorus, when Stolas says he's the 'master of his fate', it pays of his part in "When I See Him" where he recognizes that without Blitz, he would have no agency in his own life? We wrote THIS first, so laid those breadcrumbs in reverse!

Warblogs17282: Song is extremely court themed as well, in multiple ways.

Sam Haft Tweet: Did you catch that the verse melody harkens to the baroque vibe of Stolas' earlier, more villainous leitmotif? The first notes are basically Back's Bourrée in E minor! The melody of the chorus is shaped like Dies Irae (the day of wrath) from Verdi's Requiem, about 'judgement day!'

The usage of the word 'Mastermindery' is a reminder that he's acting.

Sam Haft Tweet: Did you catch that Stolas, pretending to be the evil architect of the grimoire's misuse, uses the word "mastermindery" at the end of his first chorus? Not a real word! And we as an audience know a verbose dork like him knows that! It's a little lyrical reminder that he's acting.

Warblogs17282: The only person who truly saw Stolas in his 'musical reality' moment was Blitz, and him, in musical reality, is naturally going to communicate his feeling accordingly.

Sam Haft Tweet: Sure! It made snse to us that when Stolas shifts into 'musical reality' that the only one who truly SEES him in that moment is Blitz, who, in musical reality, is of course going to communicate his feelings accordingly! Think like how Hot Priest sees Fleabag's fourth wall breaks.

Warblogs17282: A quick correction:

Sam Haft Tweet: *OOP I misidentified the ref above--it is Dies Irae the Gregorian chant that itself was later used by Verdi's Requiem. Many of you will recognize that Gregorian chant as Wendy Carlos' theme for The Shining! That same 4 note interval is 1) I am 2) the mas- 3) -ter- 4) -mind.

End Transcription]

The Dies Irae is also used in every song in Sweeney Todd, for reference. Sideways has a great post about it that also goes into leitmotifs (because that's his fav thing):

I want to also point out a bunch of other things I hope Have Consequences later on:

Ozzie not speaking up for Blitz, his boyfriends best friend. Ozzie mostly just sits there passively and doesn't say anything, which is very hmmmm like. If I were his IMP boyfriend I would be feeling very unsafe with him after watching this trial. Ozzie could have explained about the Asmodean crystal but he fucking didn't. That is a HUGE mark against him to me.

Who is Vassago and why does HE speak up for Blitz and Stolas and The Truth generally? Is he Stolas' friend? What are his motivations here?

Striker working with Andie. This makes me wonder if he was ever truly working for Stella at all, or if Andie suggested him to Stella in the first place. Did he get immunity in the sense of not being punished for the hits he was admitting to in court or does he get a 'Striker can do what he wants' card? You never can assume things work the same here as they do in the human world, especially with how careless Andie and Stella and the other Goetia are with imps!

Andie's suggestion of Stolas' punishment made me wonder if that hadn't been his intention all along, if he knew Stolas would be pulled out of his apathetic funk if Blitz was in danger.

Stolas promising Octavia he'd never go where she couldn't find him and then immediately putting his head on the chopping block for Blitz without a thought for her. Again, he cancels all his plans and promises to her for Blitz. How many times has he done this other than the two times we've seen?

While it's very clear Stella only offers her arms to Octavia out of spite to Stolas and to make sure Octavia thinks he's dead, I really wonder how long it will be until she's abusing Octavia the way she did Stolas. I think we've been more than shown she's too stupid and has too short an attention span to really be effective at this level of maniuplation. Especially since she's only got a few months before Octavia is 18 and therefore can fuck right the hell off and go no-contact with BOTH of her parents, which I support her doing.

The rush to convict Blitz and not let him speak AND Ozzie's complete passivity during the trial means nobody got to the part about how the grimoire wasn't even being used anymore, and that Blitz now had a legal means to get to the human world. That's going to come back to bite SOMEBODY at some point and I hope it's Andie.

Andie's fan only popping up when he's "mad" seemed weird to me bc that's not when a peacock deploys the fan, but @badmadwolf pointed out that it's pretty obvious Andie is horny for being angry with people, so it works. A peacock's fan is deployed for 'I want sex'/'you should fuck me pleeeeeease' reasons. And yes it's a fan, not a tail. It's not their tail it's actually farther up on their back than that.

Stella being an idiot never ceases to prove me right about her being a gyrfalcon. And if she IS a gyrfalcon, that has some interesting implications in regard to Andie using her to gain power for himself, because a gyrfalcon is one of the species humans use to hunt with, and the thing is you have to train a falcon to associate YOU with food and not let them know that the things they bring you are edible or they stop returning to the falconer. I may be reading too far into this bc of watching Shogun recently but like it's delightfully sinister to think that Andie is manipulating Stella in this specific way.

Sam Haft's twitter thread on the songwriting for Mastermind.

Stolas was just trying to convince them that Blitz was not trying to rise above his station, and that executing him would make him a martyr for impkind.

When I See Him reference, the Mastermind song was written first.

Song is extremely court themed as well, in multiple ways.

The usage of the word 'Mastermindery' is a reminder that he's acting.

The only person who truly saw Stolas in his 'musical reality' moment was Blitz, and him, in musical reality, is naturally going to communicate his feeling accordingly.

Detective Conan Movie Ranking

Hey so while my laptop has been down I binged all 23 main Detective Conan movies and was gonna give a brief review and breakdown

Favorite (9-10) one of my favs High Medium (6-8) enjoyed, probably will watch again Low Medium (3-5) not bad but forgettable, might rewatch but maybe not Ugh (0-2) just bad, I don’t want to see it again

1. The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1997) [6] Relatively simple bombing plot but some good character action and development. Not as good as I remembered.

2. The Fourteenth Target (1998) [5] Criminal is targeting people close to Kogoro, some good scenes but not my favorite. Liked it more than I remembered which wasn’t a lot.

3. The Last Wizard of the Century (1999) [9] The Kaitou Kid is after a Russian Fabergé Egg. A true classic, one of the best. This whole movie is nostalgic with a good mix of action and heart. I love it every time I watch it. 

4. Captured in Her Eyes (2000) [3] Ran witnesses a murder attempt and loses her memory. Pretty bland and kind of a dumb plot, not inherently bad just not my thing. Expectations were low.

5. Countdown to Heaven (2001) [7] Several key figures in the creation of a building are murdered. The turn where DC movies became a little more action oriented, fairly good mystery, good effects and good character development. Liked it more than I remembered.

6. The Phantom of Baker Street (2002) [9] A rogue AI traps a bunch of kids in a virtual reality 19th century London to solve the Ripper case. As a Sherlock fan this is near and dear to me, like #3 its a warm, comforting movie. Always makes me smile to watch.

7. Crossroad in the Ancient Capital (2003) [5] Conan, Heiji and the rest are in Kyoto when a slew of antique smugglers are murdered, explores Heiji’s first love. Its okay, had some good deductions and bonding btw Heiji and Shinichi but the plot was a bit boring. 

8. Magician of the Silver Sky (2004) [9] The Kaitou Kid is planning on stealing a jeweled ring aboard a plane. Unironically probably my favorite, I just love this one so much for the half batshit/half emotional plot. Best use of Kid in the movies. 

9. Strategy Above the Depths (2005) [7] A series of murders occur on a luxury liner. It takes a fairly simple plot and spins a genuinely compelling murder mystery with som good character moments for Ran, Conan and Kogoro. Liked it more than before. 

10. Private Eye’s Requiem (2006) [8] With their loved ones held hostage at an amusement park, Kogoro, Conan and Heiji need to solve a cold case. The plot is a bit weak but this movie has the second best use of Kid and is hysterical from a meta POV. Love it every time.

11. Jolly Roger of the Deep Azure (2007) [4] One a small island, the group chases after treasure hunters and potentially pirates gold. Such a fun premise that ultimately falls flat but it’s got it’s enjoyable moments. Honestly couldn’t remember any of this movie.

12. The Full Score of Fear (2008) [6] Prior to a big music concert in Japan, a famous singer is targeted. The plot was kind of weird and forgettable but idk, I genuinely liked this. Definitely the calmest of DC movies, kind of a nice break from the usual chaos.

13. The Raven Chaser (2009) [9] A serial killer is on the loose and Conan finds himself competing for clues against the Black Organization. Another classic, a tight, fascinating plot, probably the highest plot related stakes in the movie verse. 

14. The Lost Ship in the Sky (2010) [7] The Kaitou Kid targets a jewel from an airship targeted by bio-terrorists. Kid is a little bit too bastard in this one tricking Ran like that but the plot is pretty interesting and has some nail-biting moments. 

15. Quarter of Silence (2011) [4] A train is bombed and the investigation takes them to a snowy village where an unsolved case resurfaces. Again, has some good moments and good visuals but overall was pretty forgettable. I barely remembered it. 

16. The Eleventh Striker (2012) [5] Soccer stadiums are being bombed and its a race against time in the midst of final matches. Same as above, good moments, good action but kind of boring. I liked it slightly more than when I first watched it.

17. Private Eye in the Distant Sea (2013) [1] A spy has been identified onboard a Japanese naval vessel with promises of more murder and mayhem. I was so bored throughout this entire movie and the plot was boring and meandering and didn’t make much sense. 

18. The Dimensional Sniper (2014) [3] A disgruntled American ex-sniper targets those who wronged him. Japan counters with their own sniper. Centralized on American military culture, it focuses on precision shooting with some nice effects but the plot is laughably bad.

19. The Hellfire Sunflowers (2015) [7] The Kaitou Kid targets van Gogh’s Sunflowers but is he becoming murderous? This one is kind of wild but in a fun way. The criminals motivation is baffling but a morally ambiguous Kid and Kid/Conan interactions are delightful. 

20. The Darkest Nightmare (2016) [8] A Black Org member steals a list of all the spies in the BO but loses her memory and she must decide if she wants to go back. Another heavy BO movie, it’s both poignant with crazy, physics defying action scenes. Really enjoyed it. 

21. The Crimson Love Letter (2017) [7] A Karuta card tournament is being threatened while Kahuza battles a girl in cards for Heiji’s love. This one I hadn’t seen before and it was very interesting, Kazuha got the well deserved spotlight along with some fascinating Japanese culture. 

22. Zero the Enforcer (2018) [1] Amuro accuses Kogoro of bombing a building leading to a legal and physical battle of wits and will. I..... I legit was so lost half of this movie. It jumped around wildly and borderline made no sense. Also I’m just not an Amuro fan so I couldn’t dismiss its flaws like I can with Kid movies. 

23. The Fist of the Blue Sapphire (2019) [2] Kaito Kid targets a sapphire in Singapore during a karate tournament and kidnaps Conan. This is the exception that proves the rule, the only Kid movie I legit didn’t like. Its so nonsensical and Kid again is too bastard to be likable. What even was the plot?

[blackbutler-readerinsertsandjunk]

can we have some h/c’s for undertaker and someone who is very artistic? (someone who likes to play music and write songs/poems in particular)

UNDERTAKER

Ahhh, he actually truly loves the whole idea of an artistic person being his. He’s seen artistic people before, knew them even, and they’re always fascinating. Any chance he gets to watch them practice their craft, he takes it.

It might be a bit strange, but while he’s still running the funeral parlor, he usually commissions his S/O to play requiems for funeral services if they’re comfortable with it. They have so much talent, and if they’re okay with showcasing that talent to pay respect to the deceased, he wants them having that very personal connection to his business.

Thinks their voice is the greatest thing to ever grace the bloody Earth, he sure does! He adores listening to them sing or hum while he’s working, or while they’re out having a stroll, or while they’re lying in bed drifting to sleep. It’s the sweetest sound in the world to him; in fact, more than once, he’s started to sing or hum along simply because he loves it so much.

Though he tries not to peek over their shoulder or anything, he will definitely ask to read everything they’ve written as long as they’re okay with showing him. He’s interested in the kinds of verses their mind comes up with. He also perhaps wonders if they’ve ever written anything about him! Because as much as he loves them, he’s still got a bit of an ego.

He doesn’t know how to play any musical instruments, so he might ask them to teach him how to play something. His long nails might make it difficult, though, so he’s kind of apt to try one instrument for a day, give up, and move on to another one. He uses the excuse of his nails, but in reality he just can’t stick with any instrument longer than that. Well, can’t, or doesn’t feel like it.

He’s got a hundred and five music puns up his long-ass sleeves. They should be prepared.

❛  i  can  feel  your  heart  beating .  ❜ { main verse for Hanzo! }

𝑫𝑨𝑾𝑵 - 𝑭𝑳𝑨𝑽𝑶𝑹𝑬𝑫 || @hanakarii || accepting

▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 || Love has no bounds when the self-love is genuine on both ends; Hanzo Hasashi pours into Sayuri Iwasaki, and vice versa, and through that they would find ways to pour back into each other. How could they ever lose? In his willful relinquishment, he had metaphorically slit his soul open and let symphonies of carnal desire pour out the ancient wound, as puddles of cacophonous torment accumulated would exsanguinate, the sound echoing through every hollow chamber of his heart. 

And his metaphorical tears would fall in metronomic dissonance, as his corporeal body’s thwacking sounds echo within him, rattling the stone walls, back arching with the crescendo, drowning out any terrifying thoughts that would interrupt this concluding rhythm as the coalesced memories seeped into the floorboards, slicking the tatami mat below. But for now, Hanzo Hasashi remains completely exposed and vulnerable, bleeding out overtures next to the female warrior, as the past’s requiem transmogrified to become mantras of beauteous psalms. With her breaths a conductor slowing its orchestra, as the distance between notes swell and narrow and they are quiet when they both come. 

Hanzo would simply let his lips rest upon her own, and they will run wild with wicked imaginations turned anchored reality. Such desire the Warrior of Light elicits within him. As the dawn perceives her artful depths, the pyromancer lingers in the supernatural touch of whence he had once known her whole, from inside and out, both transient and elegantly wistful as he observed her silent beauty from afar, while his tenderest tendrils of flames crackled like scattering petals in the rain, as he would deliver a divine kiss of radiant, perpetual morning pushing down the depths of triune song; as he had willingly offered his body, mind, and soul to be explored and upturned beneath an inseparable duet between the senses and sensuality. 

Take away this mask of flesh and bone of tormented, agonized specter and see him for his pristine, magnanimous soul alone. No longer in limbo, never moving forward, and stuck in the moment of his loss, the scintillating reflection of Hanzo Hasashi’s intense gaze reflects the basking resplendent radiance of Sayuri’s being, as his vision reduces into a hot, burning flashes of white, as he sinks into the crook of her neck with throbbing ebb and flow of his expansive musculature, pulsating more like a wild beast’s. 

“あなたが私と一緒にいること、あなたが私に輝く永遠の朝の神聖なキスを与えて、太陽の力よりも明るい光を照らすために不浸透性の黒曜石の黒の深さを押し下げることを約束してください. [ Promise me that you will stay with me, that you will grant me a divine kiss of radiant, perpetual morning pushing down the depths of impervious obsidian black to shine a light brighter than the might of the sun. ]” ▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 ||

@pridefulscream​ said:  “ i wanna say that there’s still hope but sometimes things just don’t go your way. ” [[ star's canon verse? ]]            

The Autobots had been called out on mission to recover another Mini-con that had awoken and despite the withering morale of the troops, Optimus had reeled everybody into the mission. Alexis, Rad, and Carlos were even lucky enough to get to tag along on this mission. It was their first since Starscream had turned on the Autobots after temporarily defecting and going back to Megatron’s command. The incident had left all of the kids highly upset, but Alexis was the most impacted.

The thought that Starscream would betray them after bringing them back a Martian gemstone as a gift, she had thought that Starscream was their friend; an ally that they could trust. Perhaps the Autobots and the kids were wrong to trust a Decepticon, but there was something that Alexis could not shake about Starscream. Something about him seemed more genuine, more grounded in reality, than any of the other ‘Cons she had encountered.

Alexis, Carlos, and Rad laid low during the mission to retrieve the Mini-con, and through the use of Lazerbeak they were able to recover the Mini-con before the Decepticons could succeed. The Decepticons still possessed the Skyboom Shield, Requiem Blaster, and Star Saber sword, and the respective Mini-cons who made that weapon, and after Starscream had brought the Autobots to their moon base and rescued all of their captive Mini-cons, they were desperate for more workers. That’s surely what this entire encounter was about.

From their safe vantage point Alexis spotted Starscream on the battlefield, and she felt a hole burning into her chest. She was still hurt by his betrayal, but there was something that she needed to know from Starscream himself.

Was she stupid for doing this? A little, but if the boys could be that irresponsible on more than one occasion and still be tolerated by Optimus, Alexis figured this would be a pass. When the three kids moved positions, she stealthily snuck away from her friends. Her Mini-con partner Sureshock at her side as she moved through the trees and brush to get to the other side of the battlefield, Lazerbeak guiding her to where Starscream was.

As she approached the Seeker, she called out to him, stepping off of Sureshock and continuing on foot so that she wouldn’t be noticed by the Autobots or Decepticons that were still in the nearby area.

“Starscream! Down here!”

Luckily, she had caught his attention. She leaned herself against a tree, catching her breathe after running to try and keep herself hidden from the other Cybertronians in the area. “Starscream please! Don’t do this, come back with us! We’re your friends!” Her pleas would seem to fall on deaf ears, as Starscream responded.

“I want say that there’s still hope, but sometimes things just don’t go your way.”

She was hit like a ton of bricks, her lips curling into a frown as she looked up at the Seeker. The sadness in her eyes unparalleled to any she had ever experienced in her past. She looked down to the ground, avoiding eye contact with Starscream. She felt like a fool for rushing out to try and convince him to come back to the Autobots; maybe he really was just using them all like HotShot had warned. Try as she might she wanted to exclude that last possibility from her mind, and yet it was still there. Though for some reason, she felt no need to run from Starscream despite his words, she still trusted him.

[themightycourtjester]

So the ending of Stone Ocean really got me thinking about my AU and now theres so much more that I want to add into it. Especially with however Diavolo and Rallen are going to track down Giorno.

So all of this MiH shit that I gotta think about has made my brain buzz nonstop for the past almost two days. My AU takes place in the Irene-verse, I planned it this way, it was intentional.

[Image ID: screenshot taken from the Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Fandom Wiki. Its a block of text of a response that was asking about how Pucci’s stand, Made in Heaven, actually worked. The third point reads, “So basically the first universe is the normal one, the second universe has knockoff Jolyne, Jotaro, and presumably other characters, and in the final universe the souls of the dead are returned, and Pucci is not reincarnated.” End Image ID]

My whole point with this is that, even though I didn’t fully understand MiH when creating this AU, now that the anime has explained it a bit more, I see that my interpretation of it is basically almost correct…with some bending of the rules simply for plot reasons. This then explains why in my AU that Bruno, Abbacchio, and Narancia exist and are alive. It also goes along with that whole concept of fate that those three will inevitably meet no matter what, including meeting Mista, Fugo, and Giorno. While under different circumstances, the six of them meet be caused thats what was destined to happen.

[Image ID: a screenshot from this user’s twitter account, it reads, “Something that I love about JJBA and stands is the concept of fate. No matter how much someone tries to change it, they ultimately cannot change their own or someone elses fate because its what the universe has already planned for them. They can always try to buy themselves time, but in the end, fate will always win. No matter the person, no matter how powerful the stand it, fate always finds a way. Ex. Rolling Stones from pt 5 and then with MiH, although the universe is different, fate still played out similarly but with different situations.” End image ID]

Now how does this tie into Rallen and Diavolo?

Diavolo was always fated to find those arrows from the very beginning. He’s the reason why the Joestars and Dio manifested stands in the first place. He’s the cause for part 3 onwards. Of course, Diavolo isn’t aware of how selling those arrows to Enya could have eventually caused the universe to reset twice in a row, all he knew is that he needed only one of them. And that arrow, gave him a stand with the ability to see/travel through a short period of time to prepare himself/Doppio for their inevitable fate(ex. That fight with Risotto Nero).

During the final battle between Giorno and Diavolo, Dia uses Epitaph and sees what Giorno’s fate is supposed to be, Diavolo is absolutely certain of this win, theres nothing that should be able to change it, right? Wrong, because Giorno stabbed himself with the stand arrow and gained Gold Experience Requiem, a stand which exists outside of time itself, which is a huge problem for Diavolo because this means that although fate is technically correct, how can fate be accurate when one exists outside of the fabric of reality?

By using Requiem to his advantage, Giorno bent the rules and seemingly changed his fate. However, once again, fate always comes out on top, Giorno just merely bought himself time, just like he did with Bruno all the way back at San Giorgio(Bruno was already dead, he was just a walking and talking zombie at that point bc Diavolo already killed him). Giorno’s ultimate fate is to be killed by Diavolo, or in this case, Cremisi, the fusion of Rallen and Diavolo, because that was the original prediction of Epitaph all the way back in 2001. Giorno didn’t change his fate, he bought himself time. Diavolo’s fate was never to die infinite deaths until the end of time itself, Diavolo’s fate was to be victorious in the battle between him and Giorno and to remain the most powerful stand user in all of Italy and the entirety of the Mafia.

Even in the original universe, Rallen was going to end up meeting Diavolo, albeit under completely different circumstances. But thats only if Giorno didn’t buy himself those extra 21 extra years by throwing Diavolo into the infinite death loop.

And once again, due to fate, Bruno, Abbacchio, and Narancia will die…eventually. Maybe it’ll be under better circumstances? Maybe Giorno will be the one to kill them this time around instead of Diavolo?

I have so much more I want to talk about but I’m so tired and need sleep. (( _ _ ))..zzzZZ Feel free to send asks if you have any questions regarding my AU! I’d love to respond and give yall more information that I have on it.

The Unwanted One

heyheyhey I actually did some writing today!! I’m sorry that my brain only writes angst, but please take my offering for the sci-fi Sanders Sides au I’m hoping sounds cool.

Anywho, here’s some of Cal’s origin story because I have nothing to offer.

TW for violence, blood, bullying, general assholes being assholes

   On good days, they loved stars for their beautiful brilliance, coloring an otherwise dark void with the tiniest bit of light, the tiniest bit of hope. On bad days, they loved stars because they could study the constellations dotting the sky instead of the bruises dotting their skin. They could see Calypso, the Lia and the Jahde, even the Requiem, all dancing across a purple and navy sky. They would whisper their stories, the ones they remembered their parents telling them. They remembered little else.

   Today happened to a bad day. The little bastard Drisine, Cato, had given them a bloody nose and a bit more than an aching bruise or two. Their head pounded as they curled up in their hideaway, rocking back and forth as they desperately whispered the myth of Calypso and her army, their voice breaking as they turned the wrong way and was faced with excruciating pain. They bit their lip harshly, knowing a whimper could alert the other children, who were certainly prowling about nearby, to their location. So silent came their tears.

   It was Cato’s fault, but the Headmx blamed them. Ze had called out the names of the children who would finally leave the wretched place- the ones who were wanted. Zir eyes had landed on them, the only child to stay more than three years, so full of pity, and called their name, saying, “It’s alright. Someone will want you eventually.” Their heart, so broken already from failed attempts to make someone love them, had shattered at that simple phrase. And, of course, Cato had just had to make it worse.

   “No-one could ever want you!” he taunted, dancing around them with his friends as soon as the Headmx had left. “How could they want someone as normal as you, when they could have someone like me?” To emphasize his point, the Drisine transformed into a shimmering bird, his multicolored feathers brushing the floor as he hovered in midair. They bowed their head towards the floor, tears threatening to spill from their eyes. Cato has grabbed their chin in an effort to make them look at him, having turned back into his usual form.

   But in that moment, their eyes saw death, and they panicked. With a terrified screech, they leaped away from the shapeshifter into the body behind them, sending both tumbling to the ground. Another young Drisine was beneath them, his bright blue eyes alight with worry, as if he had simply been caught into the unfolding tension. He squirmed beneath their weight as they rolled off of the child, clutching their wrist, which was twisted painfully in a direction that definitely was not anatomically correct. Cato let out a harsh, jarring laugh as he watched on.

   “Who would ever want you?” he asked again. “No-one. You’re never going to be loved, never going to be wanted, never going to know friendship. You should throw yourself into space, and stop wasting our oxygen, you worthless orphan” he hissed as he stalked towards them, his eyes narrowing into slits. In the blink of an eye, Cato was a huge, looming, scaled beast. They froze, and in their eyes, they saw a reality of another universe.

   A bigger scaled beast stood before them, swaying back and forth as it slid closer to them. It spoke, though they heard no words emitted from its fanged mouth. The beast stared them down, almost as if gazing into their soul. Without warning, it pulled back, prepared to strike them. It lunged forward, and-

    -And suddenly they were back to their body, their reality. The scaled beast stood before them, and without thinking, they leapt at the deadly creature with a blood-curdling screech as their fists began flying, pummeling the beast, who slowly morphed back into Cato. He was crying, screaming at them to get off him and to stop hitting him, but they couldn’t. Their fists were acting of their accord, only trying to make sure that deadly beast that wanted something from them would never strike them. Something wet dripped down their face and they realized they were crying, too. From there it was all a blur. They vaguely recognized the sound of the Headmx’s nasal voice, someone tugging them off of Cato, and being thrown into solitary.

   Its dark and cramped quarters painted a feeling of misery in their mind. They hated solitary. Albeit, it was the only place they were truly safe, where they could curl up in a ball and scream until their lungs gave out, it was lonely. At least in the Commons, they could feel the gazes of the others. They could feel their touches, feel their attention. In solitary, they craved it. In solitary, they went half insane, almost unable to fit their fist inside their mouth to keep from screaming loud enough to shatter the stars. In solitary, they knew just how lonely they really were.

   When they were let out, they found Cato and two of his friends waiting for them. They were quick, one holding them, one keeping them silent, and Cato having the honor of punishing them. Silent as they were, their eyes held all of the screams they could not voice, all of the anger and fear and confusion and longing for someone to tell them why they kept having these visions.

   The entire time, Cato kept calling them the “Unwanted One.”

   He punched them hard enough for them to cough up blood, their eyes watering at the immense pain. He laughed out of the corner of his mouth because cackling like he normally did was not only too painful at the state they put him in, but the Headmx would hear him. He yanked their chin up to peer into their eyes.

   “Tell me, how could anyone want you? You can’t even hold your own in a fight,” he teased.

   Biting the hand of the one who covered their mouth, they were able to spit out, “Funny, because they same could be said of you earlier,” before Cato’s eyes filled with anger and he whacked his arm across their face so hard they saw stars. They felt cold blood run from their nose, spilling across their lips and onto the floor. Cato judged them worthy of mercy and motioning to his partners in crime to let them go. They fell limp to the ground, barely catching themselves before Cato yanked them back up by the hem of their white tunic, now stained by their unsightly blood.

   Burning inside them was fear, pain, anger- and something foreign, yet familiar all the same. Their mouth began to move, began to form words which became sentences which became verses which became truth. They muttered the myth of Calypso as Cato continued to bludgeon them with his fists, blind to their tears and their fragileness.

   “And the holy woman breathed fire upon the land, ravaging the fallen with the purity of her soul. She screamed, ‘Begone, wretched creature of darkness! Leave the goodness of this world, retire to your universe and be content to rule over those who have strayed.’” A punch landed on their hip. “The beast, which stood as tall as the heavens themselves, only laughed. Its voice shook the very ground, and all but Calypso fell.” Their stomach. “She alone stood fast against the mighty but terrible creature before her, and she alone had the strength to stop it.” The right of their jaw. “From the depths of her heart she brought out a strange, glittering stone. The monster tilted its head, its eyes locking on the mineral.” The left of their head. “‘Is this what you seek, traveler of the corrupted worlds?’ she asked. The beast hissed, transforming into one familiar to the valiant warriors. It slid closer, speaking from its mind to all those concerned.” Cato’s knee landed in their vital region. “‘Give me the Stone, darling, and you can end this. You can save your people, your friends, and yourself. Wouldn’t you like to play hero?’ It said.” His knee landed in their bruised stomach, and they spit out blood again. “The silver eyes of the goddess-woman lit up in anger. ‘The only true way to save the ones I love is by protecting the Gazer Stone.’ The creature snarled, whipping its tail towards nearby bystanders. In an instant, they fell to the ground, to rise back up no longer. Calypso shrieked as the beast turned its gaze back towards her. Swallowing, she made her decision and asked, ‘You want this?’ The creature nodded, sliding ever so closer.” Cato’s fist struck their head once more, and all at once, their world began to go black.

   “‘Then come and get it.’”

   When they had woken, they hid here, tending to their physical wounds, hoping their emotional ones wouldn’t hurt as much tomorrow. Looking at the stars, they prayed for the first time in their life. They prayed they would remember their ever elusive memories of the past. They prayed that tomorrow, perhaps they wouldn’t have to talk to Cato or his stupid friends. They prayed that the stars would take them away from this awful place, heal them, and make them someone worthy of life, worthy of love. Most of all, they prayed that someone would want them.

    Someone.

WOOOOO HOW ABOUT THAT AnGsT? As much as I wanted to write something with the Sides, Cal’s past/origin is SUPER important to the overall story I’m slowly flushing out to its glory. So is the myth of Calypso ;)

I hope you like the word vomit so far :D Thanks for all the lovely comments and encouragement!! :D:D:D:D:D

Diavolo no Daibouken AU

This is essentially justification for a character that uses stand discs. It ended up (as usual with us) becoming a pretty big thing. Whether or not we ever pick it back up is... to be seen. Warning for part 6 spoilers (universe reset, that is) referencing of other AUs I have (shouldn't be a problem though), yugioh references...

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

All right about the daibouken thing

Maybe the discs are randomly generated by the stand itself?

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

hhhh? how tho..

pucci screwed up when resetting the universe is like. the only possible thing i can think of without doing weird workarounds. or like... original souls dead or alive were made discs?bgjkr

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

Pucci fucked up #2: now look what you’ve done

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

hehehehehhdjbas yea

i love pucci just totally screwing up

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

Pucci made a world (almost) without stands

Fuckin.... pokemon but it’s stands

hollow knight... 12/09/2020

bhegrhjgbjbgdxs

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

That would actually be a fun idea for a fanpart

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

whitesnake says fuck pucci for evolving him and sabotages

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

Whitesnake: let’s see how you like THIS fate big man

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

ok uhhhhh so the memory & stand discs are still separate, so the only way for this person to figure out what happened would be... someone's memory who was there to find out his whole plan. so the memory disc of... jotaro, jolyne, weather, emporio, or pucci? but emporio & pucci of course have all their discs...

unless.....

whitesnake could also clone discs..?

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

they do ballet, just cause i admire the fuck outta those ppl like holy shit strippers and ballet dancers god damn

this person can and will kill you only using legs.

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

Plot idea: stand disc game that kids play with gauntlets that load disks some of which are real

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

omg

jojo but its yugioh but its jojo

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

And our hero accidentally finds a r e a l one

hollow knight... 12/09/2020:

"i will just insert this Directly Into My Face"

jk, the disc calls to em

fuckn full yugioh

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/09/2020:

full yugioh...

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

WAIT wouldn’t giorno/some equivalent of him exist in this world thanks to Requiem

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

yes, yes he would 👀

hes a pretty big help

(eventually)

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

wait maybe he’s a disc that someone finds

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

i did consider, but

giorno is confused and depressed cause wtf happened, he lost like. Everything adn then this person whos happened to start figurin shit out starts looking for his discs, cause they find... i dunno, one of the p5 gangs disc, so they know about him. anyway, they find giorno himself and its weird cause like. why isnt he discs. and giorno becomes kinda the jotaro equivalent

im thinking, since almost everyones reborn, protag is trying to find them & return their discs

so giornos trying to help find the people & other discs, which is really hard cause for some reason someone made a goddamn game

god imagine a scene where giorno has all of his friends discs back

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

u_u

and then finally pucci checks in on the new verse and ruins everything

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

hes the final boss

maybe this is the verse before fusion?

Like, Giorno has Jotaro’s disc in his hand and boom. Jort

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

shrugs probably

just every au is real now

cause puccis a dick

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

Just an idea we don’t have to go through with it

A shitpost really

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

ah

unless

this is the verse just before the final one

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

You genius

also consider: this giorno isn’t quite the giorno we know, he’s lived pretty much the same life as the giorno we know but he’s from another reset that was basically identical to the first universe

there’s a pattern to these things

mainverse, pucci fucked up verse

But each mainverse slowly but surely gains more information about how to alter reality properly

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

If that makes sense?

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

ye yea

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

That likewise means we’re looking at slightly off center versions of the stands

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

a little miscoloring, aesthetic changes, maybe a couple genders...

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

indeed

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

aa wait if this was whitesnake getting revenge itd probably have to be one of the first

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

ohh good point

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

im thinking about having it be the first disc.. and largely sentient (obv, or it wouldnt be able to want revenge in the first place)

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

makes sense

what if giorno goes by his birth name now

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

actually now that i think about it, was it ever confirmed that giorno was immune to the reset?

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

i don't... think so? not by araki anyway

hollow knight... 12/10/2020:

where is he....

araki wheres new/old giorno.........

xXX.-r12p84-.XXx 12/10/2020:

basically how i see it giorno's a phoenix

he can survive one reset but not two

but then another one rises from the ashes so to speak

the dream is eternal baby
