"I hate to press you Quiz but this is kind of an important question: what are we gonna do?" Opening communication comms... "We're going to talk to him."
Instead of immediately blowing himself up, Quiz makes the questionable choice to try and talk Diz out of doomsday. Things go very differently from there. In the wake of the project's destruction, Phil is left to wrestle with the aftermath of his greatest adventure, and the aliens struggle to live with each other.
— A look at the 'why' of project V.I.Z.ion, the psyches of three violent extraterrestrials, and revisiting childhood trauma that was really really fun at the time. Who are we without the things we live for? (aka 'Seriousifying Riddle School: The Fic'.)

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game
Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 
Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.
The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 
And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).
And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 
Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.
(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).
After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 
Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
#DPxDC#dcxdp#Danny makes a card game to save the world.#Technically he worded the ritual so that they had to ‘beat’ him as those are the most powerful barriers and most reliable.#keys can just get lost or stolen (like the one to Pariah’s Coffin)#A riddle would be useless once someone figured out the answer. Like how no one takes the sphynx seriously anymore.#(Sorry Tuck. But it’s true).#And there is NO WAY Danny is just leaving a hole open for anyone to pass through. No thank you!#So…beating him. But it’s not like Danny wanted to fight so…he edited the ritual a TINY bit. Card games are good. Much less painful too.#Danny Tucker and Sam made the most complicated card game they could imagine.#It’s based on their strategies for fighting ghosts. Capturing them in thermoses. And MUCH based on a on field battle strategy.#It often requires spontaneous thinking on the spot. So Danny? In his ELEMNT. It doubles as practice for his actual ghost battles too.#They had SO much fun making this.#Sam added an entire series of plant cards that act as traps and healing ointments and duds that just take up the field.#Tucker added legitimate hyroglyphics combined with Latin as well as English and ghost speak.#Yes. You actually have to speak that language to play. With proper pronunciation. (Amity Parker’s think the three are talking gibberish.)#I headcanon Sam and Tucker are fluent in Ghost.#Constantine WILL figure this game out SO HELP HIM!#Some of the cards also have combinations related to constellations either in name or placement on the board.#By the way the board is based on a Hexagonal summoning circle with Rhunes along the edges#And the placement of the cards on the board and on what rhune MATTERS.#Also the cards move disintegrate and have certain abilities. Think of Harry Potter Wizard Chess.#But they are normal when Danny plays at school. This is just for ✨effect✨ Against invaders.#Danny faces multiple opponents. He also halts alien invasions.#While Danny COULD stop crime on earth he’s not sure how to fight a normal human and hold back so he sticks to ghosts.#The Justice league are going crazy trying to figure out who this entity is and after deep research are convinced this is some sort of#Ancient being who has protected earth for millenia. They have paintings on ruins and everything.#Danny is not aware they think this.#Raven starts praying to Danny as if he is a god and wrangles the other Teen Titans into doing so as well. Danny is still unaware of this.#Danny is not a King or an ancient. Just a very VERY strong ghost.

Radioactive Hero (but not really) au
Danny moves to Gotham, hear him out! There's really good jobs there that pay through the nose and the cost of living is cheap!
Plus, the city is riddled with heroes and vilains! It's so easy to slip under the radar!
Unfortunately, there are so many civilian casualties. Like, all the time. Even in Metropolis!
So Danny, for his first year in Gotham, opens small portals to the Far Frozen and gets schooled on being a field medic. None of his powers can really be used for healing, but they can make people feel better. He just has to be careful to be as far removed from the Phantom moniker as possible, so he can't use any obvious powers.
He gets a bit of a reputation in Gotham; a small time hero of the people, for the people. A hero not invested in fighting, but in dragging civilians away from the danger. He doesn't even have a moniker; people are too busy arguing over the best one for him.
So while aliens are attacking both Metropolis and Gotham, Danny is out in full kit; a gas mask to hide his face, all black, repurposed kevlar from the vests the GCPD did not properly dispose of, no identifying markers.
But one of the clean up crews notices something insanely worrying; the geiger counter they have to point at alien spaceship parts? Yeah. Yeah, it's going off when they point it at the new small-time hero.
That hero's power is radioactivity. Holy shit. It's not at a level that will hurt people, but when he's dodging through fighting the level goes up.
The clean up crew concludes and shares via Twitter that the medic-hero is only a danger to others if he gets too stressed.
Word spreads fast, and pretty soon the absolute second Danny shows up on a scene, all fighting stops.
After all, no one wants to piss off the living Nuclear Bomb.
Basically, Danny's ghost-everything sets off Geiger counters, and now absolutely everyone is convinced that the medic-themed hero only refuses to fight because his meta power is just...being radioactive.
But he isn't.
So now, because it's the perfect cover and completely disassociated from Phantom, he has to play along and pretend like yes; that is his power.

Dorm leaders with Victoria's pokemon.
Having been transported to Twisted wonderland without knowing when she can go home, Victoria realize that she can't always isolate her pokemon in NRC, so she'll have to let the boys being used to these alien creatures to them.
Riddle - Roserade
Tumblr media
"Don't worry Victoria, Roserade will be a good addition to the Unbirthday party."
Roserade is one of the main caretakers of Victoria's berry garden back in Ramshackle, she loves flowers and anything garden related, so when Victoria began to try and trust the NRC boys with her pokemon alone, one of the first pokemon she allowed to be left at Heartslabyul was Roserade.
Riddle personally gave Roserade a tour around the dorm after hearing about how the pokemon was so excited to be here, Roserade was having the time of her life, admiring the heart shaped tree and the red and white roses. Riddle was given an ego boost after seeing how much Roserade was enamor the garden he has been keeping.
Roserade tried to join in some of the activities as well, but it's hard to paint the rose and play croquet with rosebuds form hands, Cater has some videos of her trying and failing and everyone cooed about how cute it is.
Riddle was also quite pleased of how polite Rose is in Unbirthday parties, she acted so proper and lady like while sipping the tea cup with her two bouquet like hands. Riddle sometimes compare Ace to the pokemon, asking why he couldn't act more polite like it -
All and all, Roserade was beloved in Heartslabyul and she had become a common sight in the dorm, Riddle even personally have Trey made specialize food for her whenever she got to the dorm because of how often she came.
Leona - Lopunny
Tumblr media
"What the- hey! Stop beating up my dorm members!"
At first, he underestimate Lopunny thinking that she was just an oversized rabbit...until she kicked the magift disk so hard that it flew past him and the other Savanaclaw students like a bullet before leaving a fucking crater where the disk landed.
Lopunny hated Leona ever since and vice-versa, but they would never cross path because they didn't have a reason too, that is until Lopunny heard some Savanaclaw students shit talk her and Victoria. You would ought to think that after Leona’s overblot, Savanaclaw would stop underestimating the pokemon, but nope, so Lopunny deals with this the only way she knows, violence, so she went to Savanaclaw to beat them up.
When this first happens, Leona tries to stop the pokemon only to get a beating of his own, Lopunny was too fast for him and beat him to a pulp and no Ruggie does not let him live this down. Victoria was usually called to the dorm to get back her pokemon after the second time this happens.
He was sick of seeing his dorm members (as well as him) getting beaten up by a rabbit that he order them to not talk shit about her or Victoria again, thankfully his dorm members listened and Lopunny visists to Savanaclaw lessens.
But every time they do meet outside of Savanaclaw, the tension in the room spike up to eleven and the two of them just gave each other the biggest death stare they could muster. Ruggie and Victoria have to drag them out so a brawl won't happen in the cafeteria.
Azul - Vaporeon
Tumblr media
"I know I made a mistake in the past, but thank you for trusting me again, little guy."
Haha, nope <3
After he try to make a deal with her to try to steal her pokemon? Fuck no is she trusting him alone with them. But Victoria needs a side job when she realize how useless Crowley is, and Azul's business is the only legitimate one in the school, plus he's trying to change, so she lets her water pokemon become attractions for the Monstro Lounge as well as work there part time.
Most of the pokemon are quite wary of the Octo-mer, knowing what he try to do with their trainer, but Vaporeon seemingly forgave him faster than the others, so he began to swim closer to Azul whenever he walks past the tank, Azul very much appreciates this from the Bubble jet pokemon.
Vaporeon will sometimes go out of the tank and venture to Azul's office, and Azul lets it, sometimes he will even let it lay on his lap while he was working on his papers, Vaporeon is a good boy, so he stay still and even sleep (Azul has a picture of that).
Even after some time and the pokemon began to become less wary, Vaporeon is still his favorite, Azul had even made a limited Vaporeon-themed meal that sells like hot cakes. Vaporeon has his own water bowl and bed in the office of Azul, welcomed in at any time.
Victoria seeing how Azul treats Vaporeon also became more soft and trusting towards the dorm-leader, promising that he can come visit Ramshackle to feed his curiosity about pokemon without having them mauled him for what happen in chapter 3.
Kalim - Ogerpon
Tumblr media
"Ogepon! Do you want to come to Scarabia? We're having another banquet!"
Sunshine + sunshine duo, need I say more?
When Victoria and Ogerpon was first invited to Scarabia in the winter break, Kalim immediately clicked with the mythical pokemon, finding her cheerful and energetic attitude to be adorable.
Ogerpon also loves to be in Scarabia, a banquet that she can join where no one is afraid of her? Sign her up! She's dancing so happily with Kalim on the dancefloor and she also loves the food too.
Kalim is very interested in Ogerpon's masks, loving the intricate designs and asking Victoria how they work, he's very surprise that with just a mask, Ogerpon can gain a second typing that helps it in battles.
Cries when he heard about Ogerpon's backstory, Kalim is hugging Ogerpon saying how poor she is to have to live through all of that while also continuously thanking Victoria for taking such good care of Ogerpon because he believes that is what her old partner would want for the pokemon too.
Because Kalim is way purer than the other boys, Victoria trusts him with her pokemon more, so Ogerpon visits Scarabia quite a lot, usually partying and playing with Kalim, and although her and Kalim had the same energy, she isn't as impulsive and will use her vines to pull him out of danger if needed, Jamil can take a breather when Ogerpon's here.
Vil - Leavanny
Tumblr media
"Thank you dear, the silk that you make never fails to impress me."
Vil had seen the beauty and power of Milotic as well as Sylveon, but he never expected to have his attention taken away by a bug pokemon.
Leavanny and the other bug and grass pokemon were allowed in the botanical garden and Vil stumbled onto her while she was making silk beds and blankets for the other pokemon, and he immediately became interested in the material she was making from her mouth.
Vil went up to Leavanny, impressed by her elegant nature and asked her if she can also make some silk for him, thankfully, Leavanny is very friendly and agrees, but Vil does ask for permission from Victoria first before bringing Leavanny to Pomefiore, because or else Victoria will scold him.
Leavanny silks became a stable for Vil when he was designing new outfits, it's smooth yet tough nature makes it very durable, sometimes he would even dye it. Leavanny's arm blades are also used to cut the silk, though Vil has to be more careful due to how sharp it is.
Leavanny is very interested in the process because she has never seen her silk being used this way before, and when the end results came up, she is very proud. Vil is grateful for Leavnny's collaboration so he made her an outfit with her own silk, Leavanny was delighted, she was always the one who pamper others, so to have someone pamper her back that is not her trainer makes her so happy.
Leavanny now can usually be seen in Pomefiore working together with Vil on some fashion project.
Idia - Skitty
Tumblr media
"Eep! An alien kitty (so adorable) but why does it needs to be so energetic!!?"
Idia was naturally very curious about Victoria's pokemon ever since he saw them at the ceremony, he wanted to interact and gather info of them but his social anxiety already stops him from talking to a boy already, much less a girl that has OP monsters. Ortho encourages him alot as well as Victoria when she heard about him from Ortho, promising that she will let him interact with the smaller pokemon to not overwhelmed him.
Ha agrees, and went to Ramshackle where Victoria had let all of the pokemon that were usually in the living room to make space for Idia, where she placed smaller pokemons like Petilil, Budew, Emolga and more for him, but Skitty immediately caught his attention because c a t.
He founds it so adorable the way it chases its own hand like tail but pouts when it literally ignores him, when Skitty does eventually gets bored of its tail and notices Idia, it immediately ran up into his lap and began to play with his fire-like hair curiously, the third year's heart burst at the adorable sight.
Skitty has now become a somewhat emotional animal to Idia, he begs Victoria to have it back at Ignihyde for a while and when Victoria agrees, Idia is over the moon. Skitty now has its own bowl and bed in idia's room, Idia made robotic toys for it and cuddles with it alot.
Malleus - Miraidon
Tumblr media
"I have never seen a dragon like you before, your monsters never failed to surprise me, child of man."
Malleus is extremely surprise when he know that Victoria had dragon pokemon, he never expected a human could tame dragons, but here she is. Malleus loves to interact with these mysterious dragons, from the intimidating Garchomp to the cutesy Appletun, but what he's most surprise about meeting is Miraidon.
When Victoria told Malleus about the dragon that she used to ride like a motorcycle, he almost call bullshit, dragons being mixed with something so techy like a motorcycle? That's simply unheard for. That is until he saw Miraidon that he is once again reminded of how different his and Victoria's worlds are.
Malleus was simply too stunned to speak, he had never seen such a dragon before, Victoria had to wait for him to reboot before showing him Miraidon's other features. After the initial shock, Malleus would become amazed at the other features that Miraidon has, like its Aquatic move where it can be ridden on water and Glide mode where it can travel in the skies, she even offer to show him in person by having him ride Miraidon with her.
He finds it quite funny really, he, a dragon, is riding on another dragon, but he is excited and is satisfied once he experience what Victoria does when she was still in her own world.
When asked if Miraidon is only a ride pokemon, Victoria told him that Miraidon can also fight by turning into its Ultimate mode, but it barely does that because it doesn't like fighting. Let's just hope there isn't a situation where Miraidon had to transform...

Alright, random question but what are your headcanons about which of the TWST boys are affectionate? You know, like they love cuddling, leaning on or just being close to whoever. Not to necessarily instigate anything, they just like being touchy-feely.
Another episode of “Ryu thinks that it’s going to take 20 minutes but ends up talking a whole lot” lol Thanks for your question, Anon! Even though you asked about them being affectionate, I think I ended up talking about them liking or not liking skinship… which isn’t necessarily wrong I guess, but still.
I hope you enjoy this list nonetheless. And thank you for the wait!
Riddle –  the perfect example of “he isn’t affectionate, but he likes affection”. He would complain if he got hugged, but it would actually feel very good. HUGGED, NOT SQUEEZED! >:( STAY AWAY, FLOYD! Although after Floyd attacks him with his tight hug and then releases him, Riddle starts feeling his surprising pleasant sting in his shoulders and thighs. Maybe he does like tight hugs…Not from Floyd though! Also, if Riddle gets overly emotional, he might hug someone, but he’ll get embarrassed about it.
Ace – he is at the stage of his life when he thinks that public displays of affection is cringe, even if it’s in a friendly way. But he still does a lot of physical stuff: he ruffles hair, grabs hands, leans on people and stuff. It’s not unusual for him to use Deuce as an armrest lol But hugs and all this stuff – he doesn’t like it.
Deuce – similar to Ace, but he is a bit more reserved these days. He used to be more physical though, because his delinquent senpais were very comfortable with each other physically. In a way, Deuce and Ace are also pretty comfortable with each other. They fall asleep together quite often: while sitting on a bench during recess, after PE on a mat, on a couch or even on their beds. If one of them starts dozing off, chances are, someone is going to find them sleeping together and drooling all over each other.
Trey – he would’ve been more openly affectionate if he didn’t try to stay neutral at all times. But Trey just can’t stop balancing between being not too friendly and not too distant, can he? Still, he could squeeze one’s shoulder, occasionally ruffle hair, but in general he is a “thumbs up” type of guy. But if he’s alone with someone he likes (Riddle yes), he would hug, caress his back, play with his hair and in general act like he’s compensating, being very greedy about it.
Cater – he’s pretty touchy-feely. He loves hugs, squeezing his cheek against another person’s cheek to take a selfie, he loves cuddles and holding hands, but he himself isn’t even sure how much of it is genuine. His go-to is to try to hug someone and get clingy anyway; whether he really likes it or not, touching another human being feels great. Wow I made him sound like an alien…
Leona – nah, he isn’t really affectionate. In theory, he wouldn’t mind napping with someone, but in actuality it would only make him super annoyed. It makes him remember all the times he and Falena used to sleep together as cubs, and he doesn’t like thinking about it.
Ruggie – he would be affectionate if he liked at least one person in this hellish school lol He feels like he doesn’t really need to be affectionate, there is just no point. Sometimes he thinks that Leona would want him to be, but Ruggie thinks that if Leona wants it, he could just ask for it, otherwise Ruggie won’t even bother. That being said, he ruffles Jack’s hair sometimes as a friendly gesture. Not often though, Jack’s too tall.
Jack – mega affectionate good boy who tries very hard not to get too touchy. If he didn’t hold back his urges, he would’ve grabbed people’s arms, hands, lean to them, smell them, nuzzle people’s necks with his cold nose, do a lot of ehhh dog skinship I guess. But in reality he feels way too awkward about these things, so he doesn’t do it often.
Azul – yes and no. He loves touching other people, but it’s more about asserting dominance, not showing affection. But even though he rarely shows it, Azul likes physical affection – he used to be cuddled a lot by everyone around him, so if he is way too happy he could hug and even kiss someone (if they’re close enough of course). He also never does it, but he loves to cuddle, but his cuddling style is cursed. Somehow, even when he’s cuddling, Azul is never fully relaxed, so he just squeezes his cuddle-buddy with his limbs so hard that he (mostly Idia) can’t even move… It also hurts afterwards…
Jade – not affectionate at all, his body language is as cold as his eyes. He is grabby, but it’s the observing/learning kind of grabby + the type of grabby to freak people out. I honestly can’t imagine a situation in which Jade would want to cuddle, other than maybe if he knows that a person he tries to cuddle would get scared or super mad. Because in that case he’s the cuddliest person alive! ^^ Cuddling is just a tactic to him to get what he wants, even if he just wants a reaction.
Floyd – he is a bit more cuddly than Jade and much more physical than him, he is one of the touchiest people in the cast. This is just how he talks to people, he plays with their clothes, hair, fingers, everything… but I guess it also doesn’t mean that he is affectionate at all. A lot of it depends on his mood, and every once in a while I can picture him wanting to grab someone and cuddle, but I think in general cuddling is pretty boring to him. Well, only if he can move around and touch his prey everywhere!
Kalim – the cuddliest bastard in the world. Skinship never ends. He hugs people he’s just met, he shakes hands, he high-fives, he clings to people, rests his head on their shoulders, touches everywhere. And it isn’t always obvious if he is being flirtatious or just playful, because he always seems flirtatious… but in fact it’s just him being friendly and very affectionate. He kisses his friends’ cheeks when he feels like it, why not? The only person he doesn’t do it all the time with is, ironically, Jamil, because Jamil always says “Kalim, don’t…” and sighs deeply. Every once in a while Kalim doesn’t bother him… every hour in a day.
Jamil – maybe it’s due to the fact that he has been overcuddled by Kalim for his entire life, but he isn’t very affectionate. He would prefer not to touch anyone and for others not to touch him. But unlike some others touch-me-nots on this list, Jamil doesn’t have the same awkwardness that comes to not being a hugger, for example. He is confident, he knows how to touch people and how to make affectionate gestures, he also knows how to respond to this kind of stuff (he’s way too used to it); he just doesn’t want to be touched. I feel like he wouldn’t even be able to cuddle properly, because he is never 100% relaxed.
Vil – he seems very unapproachable, but this is him always keeping TPO in mind. He is a Pomefiore Housewarden, and while it doesn’t mean that he can’t show affection, he thinks it’d be inappropriate for him to go around hugging people for no reason. He is pretty cuddly when he is alone with his loved ones, be it Rook (although Rook overpowers him when it comes to affection), Epel (this one is pretty rare lol), his dad (Vil is probably the most affectionate with him) or Ortho (he deserves all the cheek kisses when he is being a good boy).
Rook – one of the most physical and cuddly people in the cast. We’ve seen him grabbing and hugging people tightly a couple of times in the main story lol And this is him trying not to act too wildly! But sometimes he just can’t help his emotions. He really loves hugging and touching people, and just like with Kalim, sometimes he takes it a bit too far for it to be a friendly type of gesture, but unlike Kalim, he is much more aware of it. When it comes to intimacy with his loved ones, sometimes he wants to do nothing but to have sex and cuddle, but luckily for Vil (and all of us) he has a lot of stuff to do, a lot of people to hunt and a lot of irons in the fire, so their cuddling sessions usually last for an hour max.
Epel – sometimes he is pretty cuddly! When he is in his giggly mode, he could even get a little clingy. I feel like he was surrounded by ehhh physical warmth and cuddles?? Since he was the only kid in his village and he always got treated with adoration. But if someone was to address the fact that he is clingy, Epel would get angry and embarrassed…
Idia – he is so touch-starved and so isolated and asocial that I wouldn’t call him affectionate; he prefers to keep his hands to himself, and if it was possible he would hide his entire self in a pocket of his jacket and never come out of it. That being said, while it is super difficult, it’s not impossible to get him to cuddle, but it’s more of a “his loved one cuddles HIM and he allows it while secretly enjoying it a lot” type of thing. But I also think he enjoys rough treatment more lol
Ortho – he wasn’t designed to be affectionate, but he does pick up on things that he sees around or in the movies. Sometimes he implements some of these actions (hugs, hand holding, back rubbing) in his programme just to check which ones Idia reacts strongly to. Of course, he remembers all this data and uses it when needed~ Real!Ortho would be super affectionate and physical though, pretty close to how Kalim is.
Lilia – medium level, but closer to a high level. He is not a grabber/hugger, but a poker/tickler lol He would pat heads, scratch chins, play with hair and do this kind of stuff. He isn’t a huge fan of cuddles, but he enjoys them more now that he’s older and likes being lazy.
Silver – he is one gentle kid. He isn’t actively affectionate, i.e. he doesn’t hug and stuff, but when he does enjoy falling asleep next to someone or on someone else’s shoulder or lap. Sitting on someone’s lap is also a very comforting thing to him, as it reminds him of Lilia, but he doesn’t allow himself to do that anymore: he is too old for that. So, isn’t necessarily affectionate himself, but loves being petted, caressed and scratched.
Sebek – he is very physical, but not affectionate. Maybe it’s because he is still young, but he doesn’t want to show this “gentle” side that he might or might not have: it feels more natural for him to grab and pull. It’s not like he would completely hate cuddling if he was in a situation with someone he really really loves (*akhem* Malleus), but isn’t not something that he even thinks about all that often. And if Silver falls asleep on his shoulder… Sebek’s going to push him away (almost💕) every time!
Malleus – depends on a person and on his mood; for the majority of time he isn’t very physical, but he does crave this kind of thing sometimes. Mostly he would just hold hands or do this kind of stuff, but neither Lilia nor Sebek are the type to do that with him (Sebek would pass out lol). Malleus used to be more cuddly when he was younger, there was a period of time when he would always nuzzle to Lilia’s neck or chest and hug him tightly, but as he grew older he kind of stopped doing that. It’s a very vulnerable thing to him I guess.

Photos from the elusive early-80s Tokyo Grand Guignol play Mercury, also known as Mercuro and Merbro. While the Tokyo Grand Guignol are more well known for their subsequent work in the original 1985 version of Lychee Light Club, Mercury was an ambitious debut effort that was as much Tetsuo: The Iron Man and Alien as it was Ranpo. In the two-act narrative, an unstable school teacher runs a health program where students volunteer to have their blood replaced with the outdated medicinal substance Merbromin. The Merbromin substance turns the students into sentient machines, with their organs being made “valuable” in how the doses of mercury turns their innards metallic. In the midst of all this, a mysterious transfer student infiltrates the school grounds to uncover the whereabouts of his missing sister. Plots ultimately intertwine, resulting in a nightmarish Oedipal bloodbath in a macabre science lab that’s riddled with many taboo secrets. The play contains several infamous special effects standouts. One of the centerpieces was an extended sequence at the beginning of the second act where the schoolmaster (performed by the now mainstream actor Kyusaku Shimada, originally working under the pseudonym Lovecraft Shimada) carries out a live vivisection on a student to surgically extract his pubescent urges, which had manifested as a chestburster. The screenplay is decorated with intricate surrealist details with characters speaking direct quotations from dadaist poets of the early Showa period, resulting in an experience that is as much nocturnal poetry as it is taboo horror. The play only had one run in 1984, with a heavily truncated TV performance being done a year later on the “Youth Performance Special” morning Nippon TV program where the set pieces from the openings of the first act and second act are strung side-by-side. While a full video recording is known to exist of the play on both DVD and VHS, the recording has never surfaced. It’s a damn shame.
Tumblr media
The only available bits of media in relation to the play to this day are the screenplay, a handful of grayscale photos and some parts of the soundtrack. The known songs that were featured in Mercury include: 1. Four Enclosed Walls - Public Image LTD 2. Sons Of Pioneers - Japan 3. The title theme of the 1956 film “Des gens sans importance” 4. Brilliant Trees - David Sylvian Bits of media relating to Mercury’s short 1984 run are steadily being resurfaced every day. Two of the images in this post were digitized by yours truly. The source was the 28th volume of Yaso magazine, a volume that concerned underground theater which included and interview with Norimizu Ameya, the lead director of the Tokyo Grand Guignol.

YOUR WARRIOR | part 1
Neteyam x Li'ona!fem!reader
i have been trying to break my writing block for six months and managed to get this piece out of it
contains: brief mentions of scars/wounds, brutal murder of a fish, forced marriage, kind of enemies to lovers
and definitely has grammar errors, sorry for that
Tumblr media
It was difficult. He was a na'vi hybrid, an exquisite combination of human and alien species, while you were the daughter of a pure-blood king. The possibility of a lasting relationship was low, nearly non-existent among your tribe, but that thrill ignited a dangerous spark neither of you could quench.
Neteyam was mesmerized by your beauty, by the elegance of your movements, by your firm posture, but mostly by your tangerine-colored eyes. Instead of the common golden gaze, yours had a tint of orange around the pupil. They held so much mystery and passion that Neteyam wanted to grasp and solve like it was some kind of a riddle. They held a bunch of secrets he was willing to discover. Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk’itan fell in love with the Li'ona princess who, unfortunately for him, was betrothed.
You were promised to a determined na'vi, a muscular warrior, whose reputation was apparently unhealthily pure. But tasun was raised alongside your older brother and shared some of his personality traits. He was stubborn, too cocky for his own good and disloyal when it came to relationships. There were seas of rumors about his awful behavior towards his past partners, especially towards your cousin. You strongly disliked that boy but you had to obey your mother.
Maybe that was why you felt connected to the omatikaya hybrid. Neither of you had the freedom you deserved. Both of you were forced to grow up at a very young age, to look after your younger siblings. everybody had high expectations you had to fulfill.
But in reality, you were just hopeless teenagers who wanted, no, needed to experience true love.
You narrowed your tangerine gaze at the swiftly moving target, tightened the grip you had on your whetted spear and pinched your bottom lip with the sharp tips of your fangs, precisely counting every loop the unaware school of fish had been making. After a minute of watching, you aligned your armed hand with the target and inhaled the scent of seaweed as your weapon striked the head of a fish with a splash.
Quickly leaping over the seawall terrace to get ahold of the spear, you battled the smug grin that threatened to spread across your pursed mouth and studied your catch with a burning glimmer in your eyes. When your fingertips were about to touch the handle of the weapon, several weirdly-shaped creatures casted heavy shadows on the unmoving surface of the clear sea and attracted the eyes of other fishermen as well, awaking curiosity and confusion in the Li'ona na'vi.
You collected your spear, along with the multiple breathless fish, and took your feet out of the seawall terrace you decided to clear out today, a woven net overflowing with your catches caressing your exposed lower back. You strapped the netting to your slim figure and created clicking noises with your tongue to call your ilu. The animal greeted you with an enthusiastic squeal and revealed its back to the rider. After you connected your queue to the sea creature, the group of skilled fishermen set off towards the sandy shore where the intruders had landed.
You emerged out of the resting sea with your peers and pushed some wet raven locks out of your eyes that glittered in the afternoon sun rays. You abandoned your ilu along with the woven net near a centralized ilu pen after you offered your recent catch to the bewildered animal and disconnected your queue from it.
"What happened?" your younger sister questioned the sudden cluster of your people after she surfaced beside you, tugging drenched strands of hair behind her pointed ear. You shrugged your shoulders with a shake of your head and approached the herd of Li'ona villagers with the naturally curious girl.
You swiftly dodged any arriving people, keeping your tail close to your calfs in case somebody didn't notice your presence and accidentally stepped on it as they did many times before. Untroubled, your sister walked through the cluster easily, each Li'ona moving out of her way towards the intruders.
You slided aside to avoid approaching muscular bodies and the Olo'eyktan, who was returning with his newly organized hunting party precisely on time. You appeared behind Tasun, your betrothed, and the eldest son of the chief, your brother, with folded arms across your rising chest as Maratu walked out of the herd, spear in hand.
"What is that?" Tasun gestured to the tail of the closest Omatikaya boy, making the victim of his following remarks to glance over his tense shoulder. Your betrothed stifled a chuckle as he pointed to the thin tail that was flicking from side to side. "Is that supposed to be a tail?"
You slapped the nape of his neck in disapproval and released a warning hiss below his ear, forcing it to turn downward as you pushed the two arrogant boys apart. Your brother swatted your hand away from his chest and poked your side in return, chuckling when you took a step forward with a growl.
Neteyam lowered his piercing amber eyes on your small turquoise form and caught your tangerine-colored gaze in the process. The target of the nasty remarks flickered by his side while his withdrawn ears twitched as you displayed your full beauty underneath the bright burning star. A shimmering spark of forbidden interest twinkled in both gazes and sealed the command of the Great Mother herself.
"We seek Uturu," Jake announced and received judgemental glares and exaggerated gasps from each direction. Maratu tilted his head slightly as his wife, Kirnat, emerged out of the humongous crowd with a scowl decorating her facial features. You were pulled backwards by Tasun when the pregnant woman began to circle the foreigners and were detached from the eldest son.
"We are half-reef people," Maratu mentioned the differences as he gestured to the desperate family, weak chuckle stroking his lips. "You are forest people. Your skills will be nothing but a waste, JakeSully."
Kirnat tugged at their thin tails and pointed out that they will not be capable of swimming in the water. She approached the oldest daughter of JakeSully and Neytiri with a huff and seized her wrists to inspect her unusual hands. "These children-" she lifted them up for everyone to see and displayed her five fingers with a silent growl, "-aren't even true Na'vi."
"Yes, we are!" Kiri snatched her hands out of the Tsahìk's grasp and pulled them to her heaving chest, tangling her fingers in the shawl she had on her shoulders. Tuk wrapped her arms around her leg to hide away from the intense stares and snuggled up against her thigh, making you sigh in defeat.
Neteyam tuned out the persuasion when you sneaked past your assigned lover and appeared on his left with flattened ears, his twitching at the sight. He allowed himself to marvel at your softening face that showcased concern and some kind of pity. He absorbed your wrinkled forehead and the unique shape your pigment patterns were creating in the middle of it along with your delicate facial structure.
"Gross," your brother pretended to gag beside his friend and quickly shielded his head when you faced him with a glare and clenched teeth. The boy received a slap on his shoulder from your cousin, Maru, who silenced his laughter with a stern tone.
You bowed to show your gratitude before your youngest brother could tackle your legs. Neteyam narrowed his eyes at the interaction as his father pleaded the Olo'eyktan and Tsahìk for a chance, stating that his family can adapt like he did many years ago. You picked up the whining little boy with an eye roll and let him fidget with your handmade necklace.
The eldest son of Toruk Makto noticed the tender caresses you left on your sibling's upper back to soothe his pounding heart and throbbing headache, swallowing the hums that were threatening to escape out of his mouth. He was flabbergasted by the relationship you had with the little boy and wondered if he was your younger brother. The urge to ask for your name was clawing at his dry throat and forced him to clear it as he dedicated his attention to his father and Maratu, missing the opportunity to catch you staring at his differently built body.
"Your arms are thin, your tails are weak," Kirnat wrapped her fingers around the youngest son's forearm to reveal his five-fingered hand and pulled it upwards, a hiss drumming against the walls of her throat. "They have demon blood!" The herd of her people took a couple steps back, mouths agape with disbelief.
Neteyam flinched when the pregnant woman poked his stiff shoulder and pushed some of his tightly braided hair forward to reveal a healed wound to the little boy that had been taking in his appearance in your arms. He pointed to the scar, which made Neteyam shiver. You followed his curious gaze and noticed the wound as well, scolding the boy for pointing at the Omatikaya. Neteyam covered the healed injury with his four-fingered hand and scooted closer to his younger brother, who had been devouring the beauty of the youngest daughter of the chief.
Maratu shared a look with his mate and tilted his head slightly to convince the woman without using his words. Kirnat stole a glance at the fleeing family and closed her eyes, battling her inner voices. Once they fluttered open, she nodded and gave her husband her consent. "Toruk Makto and his family will stay with us," he began to announce and buried the smooth end of his spear into the sandy shore. "They do not know the sea, they will be like babies taking their first breath. Teach them our ways, so they do not suffer the shame of being useless."
JakeSully encouraged the rest of the family to bow and mutter a quick thank you to the Li'ona leaders. Maratu accepted their politeness easily while his wife stifled a snicker and dissolved the cluster with a wave of her hand, motioning you to follow and return to the village with her. "My oldest son Ralu and youngest daughter Aneya, will teach yours the way of water," he clarified despite the protests of his son and silenced him with a glare. "Enough, ma 'itan. It is decided." [son]
By the imperfect posture of your mother you could tell she was against the idea of allowing armed strangers inside your village. you couldn't blame her. After the RDA attacked your former home, you refused to accept anyone who had the guts to travel beyond their territory, but here you were, trusting a title - Toruk Makto. the legend was well-respected in your tribe and beautifully captured in your songcords and celebrations, but would a true Toruk Makto seek Uturu among strangers? Run away from the threat?
Based on the stories your Ancestors provided you with, no. Toruk Makto would never flee, but a father would. JakeSully was also a father who cared deeply about his children and that was something a true warrior, a true legend would do - he would protect his most valuable treasure.
The thought of leaving your home, the people you love, behind just because humans are sickeningly greedy and unappreciative made you physically ill. And in some way, you had to go through that as well. So, after your father returned into your family marui pod and got scolded by his wife, he approached you with pleading eyes.
Your legs were dangling over the edge of the pod, ankles submerged. Various shoals of fish swam around your feet, trying to avoid colliding with them as your father took a seat beside you in silence. Your bioluminescent dots began to glow along with the underwater world you learned to appreciate and take care of.
Maratu exhaled heavily and placed his hand on your hunched back. You immediately straightened your posture but kept your exhausted gaze on the never-ending sea. "I know you aren't happy with my decision," he stated, figuring how you felt from your behavior during dinner. "And trust me when I say, I am not exactly happy either."
Your ears twitched at his confession which made him chuckle. "I know it will be hard to accept their presence and most people will take decades to do so." You turned to face your father, confusion flashing across your tangerine gaze. He grabbed your hand and placed it against his beating heart - an intimate gesture among your people, your father mostly used to show his seriousness and affection.
"What I am about to ask you may be selfish after what we had to go through, but you are the only one capable of doing what is right." His words scratched the back of your mind which awoke unpleasant memories. "I spoke to JakeSully.." you nodded and encouraged him to continue, "his oldest son Neteyam, I believe it was, was trained to be an Olo'eyktan-"
"What are you trying to say, dad?" you interrupted his speech as your fear of interacting with the Omatikaya boy kept growing. Maratu squeezed your hand and pursed his lips, giving away his request. "No," you snickered sarcastically and pulled your hand away from his tattooed chest, shaking your head in disbelief. "No, dad, that is- I am not-"
"I want you to become his personal trainer-" Before you could protest, he put his index finger on your lips. "He has great potential for a warrior and you will help him get there."
"But dad-"
"There isn't room for buts," he interjected harshly as he collected himself and stood up, silencing your upcoming grunts. "I do not want to hear it, daughter. You will help that boy out either way."
"Yes, sir.." you muttered angrily while your father walked back inside where a wave of joyful cheers and laughter of your younger siblings engulfed his tall figure.
You clenched your fists hard it made your knuckles white. You should have known. Your father never came to have a chit-chat with you, he always assigned you new chores, or ordered you to babysit your siblings.
What was so special about that Omatikaya anyway?
Was it his muscular body that seemed to be perfectly built for the sea and rainforest environment? Was it his pretty privilege? Was it his daddy's title? What the hell made him so suitable for the position you have been trying to get ahold of for years?
You had no clue and that made you furious. A frustrated growl crawled out of your throat before you plunged into the calm sea to clear your head. After you managed to swim far away from your marui pod and realized you were running out of air, you resurfaced at the edge of your resting village, fighting the urge to cough.
"Are you alright?"
Your bloodshot eyes scanned the shore for the source of that sickeningly soothing voice, finding nothing but pure darkness. A trail of tiny glowing dots started to move inside the rainforest your village was surrounded by from the other side. A lean, pretty tall figure emerged out of the woods, clutching a bow with a half-full quiver of arrows hanging on their shoulder. As they stepped out of the shadows into the bioluminescence, you noticed the bold dark-blue skin that was decorated with sharp and straight patterns.
You narrowed your eyes in an attempt to focus on their face, praying silently for any Sully besides Neteyam. But as they entered into the moonlight, you swallowed your prayers. Their tightly-braided hair was tied up in a high ponytail, revealing their defined face features. You traced their glowing dots, from left to right, and captured their golden gaze.
"Oh," you breathed out and cleared your throat as the Omatikaya boy approached you. "It is you.."
"You don't sound very pleased," Neteyam pointed out your disappointment and slung his bow over his free shoulder before he placed his hands on his hips. "You must be the other daughter then-"
You scoffed. "The other daughter?" Neteyam watched you walk out of the sleeping sea, seeing how offended you were by his words, and raised his brows in surprise. "You-"
You stomped towards the na'vi hybrid and poked his stiff shoulder, almost pushing his quiver off. "Do not," you warned and exposed your fangs in the process.
"My apologies." Neteyam withdrew his hands and took a step back to show some respect which you snickered at, not fully believing. "I did not mean to be disrespectful," he admitted and bowed to seal the truth.
The silence that fell upon you two was overflowing with tension and one-sided admiration. You were studying his unreadable facial expression while he was devouring your beauty.
His golden eyes traced every single droplet of sea water you had on your turquoise skin. Neteyam also tried to memorize the pattern of your bioluminescent freckles before you managed to turn away.
"Go back," you muttered over your shoulder as you started to walk back into the endless bowl of water, desperately searching for an escape from his curious gaze.
"Wait-" already ankles deep, you turned around with arched brows. Neteyam offered you a sweet smile, "Can you tell me your name?"
"You will know it soon enough, forest boy."

!! LOST IN THE BOOK WITH STITCH EVENT SPOILERS !!
Now what happened after? (Part 2):
Yuu, Grim, Floyd and Lilia rush to the site of the crash. Which gives us a Disney mascot face off
Tumblr media
Seriously now Stitch is just plain adorable in this event like look at the alien dog (Stitch retracts his antenna and other arms the moment Floyd appears)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of which, everyone thinks Stitch is a dog and if you agree; Jack will be like " that definitely isn't a dog, it just talked" 💀
And then Ace says that unlike Grim, Stitch looks cute; but Stitch didn't like that and PROCEEDED TO BITE ACE IN THE ASS 😭😭😭 and Riddle tries to save him (ah yes Stitch and Epel getting along). Stitch also bit Jack and just started to turn into a ball and is just attacking Grim (pretty much everything was in shambles)
Floyd and Lilia find Stitch's behavior cute which leads to Stitch liking them and climbing on their shoulders 🥹
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Floyd and Lilia just want to take Stitch home, well Lilia specifically wanted to bring the alien to Malleus (AWWWW). Floyd asks Stitch if it wants to come with them but it becomes sad and says "Ohana" ☹️
Tumblr media
Then Gantu makes an appearance, he says he's looking for 626; and then Floyd is like "that's a shark lmao" and then everyone else realizes that it's an alien
Tumblr media
Gantu then tells the group that Stitch is made for destruction and is a danger to the universe and tells them to hand over the alien dog. The group was about to hand it over since it looked like Gantu knew a way of getting them back to NRC but Floyd and Lilia refuse. Lilia says that they have no reason to believe Gantu and also because Stitch is cuter 😭 while Floyd wants to bring Stitch to school since he's a funny little guy (THE SILLIES)
This results in Gantu attacking us with his robots but the group manages to escape just in time. An argument happens but Stitch builds them a flashlight, some pillows and other things from the robot parts that came from Gantu's minions.
So it turns out Stitch can fix the spaceship using the robot parts if we can steal more parts from Gantu, thus needing our help. If we agree to help out, Stitch latches onto you and Grim gets jealous lmao; but he also receives pets from Stitch so that's good i guess 😭???
But that is all for the first update, see you all in the next one ~

getting back into drawing rs fanart sooo here's a fun little art i did :3 just wanted to make it simple and stuff so lots of fun typography and patterns and a little paper texture on it heemhee
(reblogs help my posts be seen :)
Mashaka Talltale (From Puzzler School) attempts to get the latest scoop at Riddle Elementary but finds a rather peculiar consensus that every student has apparently witnessed an alien invasion when there are literally no traces of it existing anywhere??? Even checking the hallways, and multiple "witness" accounts, there doesn't seem to be any physical trace after the security system shut down or something. And it's not like Riddle School had a record of any actual reliability. whatever, she thinks, this makes for a good title

So everyone knows that fact about how humans have stripes that we just can't see right?
What if Smiley could see them, and is just incredibly confused when the rest of the gang are like "What?? We don't have stripes??" Because to her, they're RIGHT THERE

What if Bella had Tom Riddle’s powers like in The Funny Thing That Happened On The Way To London?
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to London by me and @therealvinelle. The TL;DR is that Tom essentially still has magic, however without a wand and the institution of Hogwarts/instruction in the magic system he's been figuring out things wandlessly.
As for Bella, let's dive in.
Pre-Canon
Nothing changes except this is Bella's deep dark secret she must tell no one about. See, Bella's a little past your usual freak in that weird things sometimes happen to her with no explanation and she knows deep down it's somehow her fault. The washing machine explodes, she somehow finds herself teleported home from school, that sort of nonsense.
This doesn't happen to normal people and Bella's well aware of that.
The fact that Bella's a Jedi who is manipulating reality doesn't occur to Bella, nor does the possibility that she could harness these supernatural occurrences or it could in fact be a good thing.
She just knows it's fucking weird and she can't let anyone ever know.
Which means that Bella likely makes the same decision to move to Forks for the same reasons and the added bonus that she won't ruin her mother's marriage to Phil if she's not around for Phil to find out Bella's an alien.
AH HA HA HA HA HA.
Bella Arrives in Forks
Again, mostly the same deal, Bella's just a little extra nervous as all this popularity means people will notice when she fucks up (because she always does) and Bella spends the entire first day praying nothing weird happens.
Then Biology happens.
Bella blames herself.
Or rather, she thinks Edward must somehow know. She must have somehow tipped her hand (did she turn him and his family into marble statue people??? does she do that now???) and now he's looking at her like he's going to kill her.
Bella's life is over: she's pissed off the hottest boy in school who is going to tell everyone she's a total freak and Bella will be the daughter of the police chief's runaway bride and be a psychic nutcase escaped from a Stephen King novel.
Bella cries herself to sleep that night, certain her life is over.
The next morning... Edward's gone. Nobody seems to think Bella's a freak of nature and they all think Edward's sick with mono or something. Bella... is not entirely sure she hasn't accidentally murdered Edward Cullen. She hopes not, everyone seems to think he's just sick, and if he was dead or disappeared his family would have said something. Right? Right?!
Bella spends the next few days telling herself that Edward must be fine and that it's a good thing because everything's all normal now and maybe it's best that Edward's sick with the flu because then he can forget about Bella.
Then he comes back.
He comes back and starts talking to her.
He looks as much like a crystal hot demon as ever.
Bella is convinced she's responsible for his unnatural skin condition. And the way he's focused in on her and is asking all sorts of questions like why she moved to Forks: he must know.
Bella's sweating bullets and sprints out of class (tripping of course int he process).
She spends all night wondering whether she should fess up or not so she can apologize. Coward that she is, she chooses to stay silent, hoping that this will make Edward forget his uh skin condition.
Unfortunately for Bella, she nearly gets hit by a van.
Bella Nearly Gets Hit by a Van
Bella, nearly getting hit by a van, is saved by Edward. However, there's no way Edward could have crossed the parking lot in so little time or crushed that truck like it was made of tin foil. Bella must be responsible for this.
And now she's being carted off to the hospital: she's about ready to die of mortificaiton.
Edward then presses Bella for information, trying to gauge what she saw, but Bella's actually keeping her thoughts to herself and easily agrees when Edward says he was right next to her (because Bella's not going to admit she fucked up his life even more, nosiree, no bending the laws of physics here).
Edward finds himself a little annoyed with this, it works out well for him, but he'd hoped she'd notice or at least wouldn't be clearly lying about all of it.
Regardless, canon proceeds as the family has their vote and Edward discovers he's in love.
The difference, however, is that Bella firmly believes everything appealing/mysterious about Edward is actually caused by her nonsense voodoo magic bullshit powers she can't control. As a result, rather than be fascinated, Bella becomes increasingly anxious and concerned the more hints Edward drops that he's not normal.
Edward tries to gaslight Bella into thinking he's human (sort of) but finds himself increasingly annoyed as Bella seems to be trying to gaslight him into thinking that she thinks he's human.
Eventually, Edward breaks, and shows her irrefutable proof he is in fact a horrible inhuman demon at which point Bella (crying inside) somehow finds herself dating him and agreeing he sure is a vampire. Wow, such a vampire he is, this isn't Bella's strange powers at all.
Bella then has to gaslight his family into believing she's so normal about everything all the time every and nothing weird has ever happened around her wow.
This change in dynamic is the only difference in the story.
