Oh my lord what is up with Ken Amada's dialogue in Tartarus boy I know you're a child but no one speaks like that all the time it's so weird. Amada, are you planning to murder everyone? Lull us into a false sense of security and stab us in our sleep? Because you're doing a really bad job, I feel the furthest thing from secure.
On the upside, he's a really good party member like, Light *and* elec coverage? Combined with Koromaru's Dark and fire I feel like P3 is spoiling me. Slap Yukari in there with my beloved Black Frost and I feel like I could murder the crap out of anything. Throw in my Clotho to buff/debuff the shit out of everything and an ever-changing physical attacker (presently Dakini) and we're decimating.
I swear I am scouring the globe looking for that one freaking black mask redesign where they have him iridescent black pants and called atlus cowards but I can't find it anywhere it's so upsetting
Oooo so we get some mystery with this! Now I'm curious about Four's people, if they're an original species were they around for even if they weren't seen in anyone else's adventures? Are they a common sight in Four's Hyrule, super rare, or common and just not seen like the Minish? What's their name? Gosh, this is so intriguing! I'm also curious about everyone else's opinion of our local mystery among mysteries. Your Chain as Cryptids AU is absolutely amazing and I'm looking forward to hearing more about everyone, as always! But take care of yourself first above all else, you come before any story ♥️
No rush with this ask but I just remembered! Back in my last ask you said you finally got Four figured out, I'd love to hear about their lore! Unabashed favorite character alert, I think Four's design is so cool and I love their concept so I super wanna hear about em. Like I said, no rush if U wanna tackle Spirit's lore reveal first
Nonono I’m happy to talk about Four!
Full disclosure, I’m very busy with schoolwork (the semester ends in like two weeks!!! I’m barely hanging on) so I don’t currently have the mental capacity to sit and write pages and pages of lore. Writing is so incredibly draining for me, so you probably won’t be getting a full lore post for Spirit until this weekend! It’s one of those things that will take pages and pages to explain and I just… can’t do that right now haha! So I’m happy to talk about Four in the mean time!
Four is… a special case. I want them to be a mystery. Every time someone asks about their backstory- particularly about Shadow- I will always respond by telling them it’s a spoiler. (As I’m starting to organize my thoughts and get my feet under me to get serious about actually writing fics, I’m getting more secretive about story elements. I don’t mean to dangle it in front of your faces, but I don’t want to spoil the big things! I’m sorry if this seems cruel).
Four is pretty secretive about their past, very protective of the things they love, and still working through a lot of their issues. The colors are having a bit of a rough time reflecting on their adventures and so Four… doesn’t really talk about it a lot.
Like I said before, I want Four to be a closed book. The others will know them as an Enigma. They’ve never seen anything like Four before. I will say that they are an original species- like the Aquili for Wind. Their horns are normal for their people. Their affinity for the elements is normal for their people. Their ability to split? Not so much. The colors are still a secret.
(Think… dragons.)
Four thinks it’s entertaining to keep the others guessing. At first, it’s a defense mechanism. Trying to keep their cards close to their chest, never giving the others too much of themself. But as trust starts to grow between the Chain, it kind of becomes more of a running joke? Sometimes, they’ll give small bits of information over dinner. Long nights sitting around the fire. They’ll tell stories of their adventures, but they’d mess up with pronouns and perspectives the same way that Sky does.
Sky, for the same reason, doesn’t share much. Telling stories is hard when there’s multiple consciousnesses trying to speak through one mouth.
Again! I’m sorry, I know you probably wanted more backstory, but just like Four, I’m keeping my cards close to my chest for this one. It’s a secret to the Chain, and it’s a secret to everyone. Just know that I typically don’t stray too far from the game’s (and in this case, the Manga’s) canon. Or at least. I try not to.
Oh yeah so it turns out working a job while still living with your parents, specifically when one of your parents works the exact same job, fucking sucks. Like, I told my workplace I couldn't do 6 am shifts, they scheduled me for a 6 am shift. I would honestly just skip the shift as a 'fuck you I set my boundaries' but they can literally call my parents on me. I am currently staying up late and eating unhealthy food in hopes that when morning comes I will be deemed too sick to work this fucking shift.
Honestly I would rather be fired than work for a place that doesn't respect my boundaries with shifts but again, parents. This job is hell and I hate it and I hate working for a corporation that treats me like a robot.
As an asexual person all of these are completely true parksrway is spilling all the ace secrets
had a moment last night
Heck, maybe the thing already does exist, maybe it's completed, but I need more of it! What I'm saying is that my fanfiction is not born out of love but out of frustration. Is that unhealthy? Maybe. But does it work? Absolutely.
Anyone else have all these ideas for fanfictions you want to see but you can't really find anything that fits the criteria anywhere? Or at least none that are completed. And you know you could try and write it yourself but honestly writing another story sounds like a pain and you really don't want to?
Like, y'all, I don't particularly enjoy writing that much, I like writing concepts for scenes and saying how things will play out but when it actually comes to formatting all that into a story it's not actually that fun. I just get so upset at the fact that this specific piece of fanfiction doesn't already exist in the world (or it isn't finished) that I go 'fine, I'll do it myself.' And I gotta post it for people to see because other people might be looking for that specific thing too!
I finished Kamiki's social link, and uh
what
WHAT??
Did they just not wanna show him dying or is he secretly a magic being or smth?? Wtf?? I was having a moment and they just,, I'm so confused.
I've been thinking about ToTK lately, and one thing consistently bothers me.
Why was Zelda the one to get the time powers? Link is clearly the one who's magic involves time. His past incarnations have traveled through time a whole heck of a lot, plus bullet time and flurry rush. It would fit perfectly in the story as well.
Link, in a fit of desperation to save Zelda, reaches to send her somewhere where Ganon isn't an issue, tapping into his own innate time power to send her all the way back to before Ganon got his secret stone. Zelda cannot simply travel back because she has no power over time. So, she remains in the past, does all the same things, because she does need to fix the master sword.
Meanwhile, Link gets recall not from any outside source, but from himself, with some coaching from Rauru on how to channel his magic through the arm. He sends the master sword back to let Zelda know he hasn't forgotten about her, but he can't send anything more. The story then proceeds as usual. Legit just the tiniest change but I feel like it would make so much more sense.
There are many things I would edit about tears of the kingdom, such as the fact that no one can seem to decide if they want the games to be within one universe or not, (like girlypop the Zonai are cool and all but they do NOT belong on the Zelda timeline,) and that the weird ancient sages being nobodies compared to the champions. But for some reason, this one thing is what sticks out in my mind as something I must fix.
It's not plagiarism if I give blanket permission to everyone to write this if they want to! I would write it myself but I have... 16 WIPs including several longfics and I refuse to start another wip until I get a couple of em finished.
Ryoji Mochizuki palace where it's not Tartarus but actually a Cathedral.
Everywhere you look, it's dedicated to the Great Seal. Stained glass windows made in their image line the walls, statues carved into a familiar teenager hung by chains. Their story is depicted like a religious text, with Ryoji himself as the devil. There to trick the seal into pursuing the full moon shadows, to lie his way into being the seal's friend, to tempt the Great Seal away from delivering salvation to the world. It does not matter that Ryoji was missing his memories, that he was doing whatever he could to help his dearest friend, he was always a monster. One that was unworthy of the Seal's forgiveness, of their mercy.
Ryoji's shadow can always be found crying in front of a depiction of the Great Seal. He begs for someone to please take their revenge, to punish him for what he's done, it's all his fault, he killed the Great Seal, they would still be alive if not for him. He cannot let you take his treasure, he cannot let you take away his guilt. When you fight Ryoji, he appears as a grotesque replica of the Nyx Avatar. There is no more elegance, no more ethereal beauty to be found in Nyx's Appraiser, he is simply a monster.
Ryoji's treasure is the protagonist's evoker. A representation of how they fought to save the world, and how they accepted death to do so. Ryoji could not accept that death, so he clung to it. He clung to their memory instead of facing them himself, because he felt too much guilt.
Name: Ryoji Mochizuki
Location: Gekkoukan High School's rooftop
Distortion: Cathedral of Grief
Smh I thought I was supposed to die at the end of the game, credits are rolling and I am not, in fact, dead. How dare I be misled so, either by the game faking me out or by the internet.
Imagine being a Persona 5 fan but ignoring the blatant anti bigotry themes in the story. The Phantom Thieves actively fight against an oppressive system that corrupt people in power try to force upon them. The current state of the world is no different and shouldn't be accepted.
