Happy Holidays, everyone!
The Super Megaforce Christmas-Fusion Ranger Key episode we deserved!
Did they steal santa’s bundle of gifts or did they save christmas? we will never know 😊
This was obviously inspired by Gokaiger episode 44 where Gai used the Gokai red and Gokai green keys to become Gokai Christmas haha

(Be prepared to HATE me~)
Unconventional AUs: Sentry Skull x Billy x Matt + ghost AU~
ACTUALLY, you be prepared to hate me.
Skull is a new, rising musician; he's just got his new paycheck. Billy is a professor in quantum chemistry, and the two of them have been together for quite a while now.
They've also been saving for a while to move out of the shared apartment they had been living in— their flatmate, a certain Jason Scott, being a little too annoying with the constant martial arts practice, and not particularly liking the three-persons living conditions— and actually move into something of a proper home.
It's weird when Jason's boyfriend, Zack, approaches them with an offer of a house he had seen on sale a few days back, in a locality familiar to him, where his parents have lived for ages, a seemingly perfect place to move into. It's a nice two floor bungalow, neat lawns, lovely society, everything just about perfect... except the fact that its unbelievably cheap.
Skull is initially reluctant, believing something's a 100% wrong with the place, and that they'd be moving into some serial killer's mansion, with bodies buried in the basement, if they do.
Billy isn't hearing any of that, though, because its the house he's always dreamed of having with Skull.
Skull finally gives in, they buy the house, they move in. Everything's normal, the neighbours are nice, even though they gossip occasionally, behind their backs.
There's a very nice Miss Kwan living next door, and she brings them dinner on their first evening there, along with some nice potted plants which she says are a lovely housewarming gift.
It's nice, really.
The first few months in the house are lovely, even though Skull notices some weird things happening every now and then.
It's weird, how someone keeps flushing the toilet at nights, when both of them are lying together in bed, and there's absolutely nobody else around, or how that one ceiling fan is always so creaky, no matter how many electricians you call over to fix them, or how there's a wailing noise coming from one of the pantries, or the ever so flickering lights. Some days it's good, there's no strange happenings, other days its fucking awful.
It doesn't take Skull long to realise they're being haunted by a ghost.
Well, fuck you Billy, I TOLD YOU THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS HOUSE!! OUR FLATMATE IS APPARENTLY A GHOST NOW.
Billy doesn't believe it, of course. He's gonna find a scientific reason for it all.
Meanwhile, Skull's doing his own research. He talks to Mrs. Taylor, Zack's mom, and then to a few of the other old gossipy housewives and old men and then strikes up a conversation with Miss Kwan too, about what is up with the house.
Turns out, he was right. There was a ghost who was haunting them.
That’s actually why the house was so cheap. It absolutely was considered haunted, and the previous owners had wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
So who was the ghost exactly? Billy didn't seem to want to move out at all, so it was maybe better to drive out the ghost itself?
Matthew Cook. He found out about him after looking through tons of articles online, followed by searching for newspaper clippings at the library, and talking to that one very, very, verrryyy old man in the county, a certain Mr. Oliver, who seemed to be the only person alive who could recount the tale o'tragedy as old as time, vividly.
Matthew Cook had been about the same age as Skull and Billy when he had committed suicide. He'd hanged himself from that one particular ceiling fan in the lobby that kept creaking no matter what.
Nobody knew why he did it, but it was all in the papers. This old lady, who had been his landlady, Grace Sterling, had been imprisoned for abetment of suicide, later on, and the house had been sold off, and moved from hands to hands to hands, because the ghost apparently didn't like anybody else living in the house.
Skull wasn't very convinced.
The ghost felt rather... depressed... to him.
Well, Skull considered, the ghost was bound to get lonely, right?
Maybe what he needed was just some comfort? Considering the ghost actually was Matthew cook, of course.
Skull needed confirmation, so calling a psychic— who seemed very young too be in the profession, and wore a pink bandana— to conduct a seance seemed like the best idea. They conveyed to the spirit that it was okay to talk to them, that Skull only wanted to help, that he knew it must've felt lonely for him, after all, and that a few friends could hurt no one, especially when Billy and Skull were here to stay.
It didn't work, of course.
But the very next morning, when Skull drowsily walked into the bathroom, he was shocked out of his gut to find a guy, as old as him, with a thick stubble, messy hair, and wearing a crimson letterman jacket, sitting on the toilet, howling in sadness, even though very faint sounds escaped him.
The jacket read Matthew Cook...
oh boy. Billy wasn't gonna believe this.
Thanks for the ask :3

I saw your fic bout how reader can see ghost and stuff can I get like a part 2 of that? Like bonten is outside they in a park with silly disguises like wigs and fake mustaches and stuff and here comes ......INUPI!!! so man's was just there cuz draken closed the shop early for reasons👀 and he had nothin to do so he was like "why don't I go to the park to relax" and she sees Akane✨ so Akane being the sweetheart she is entertains the baby Ofc she introduced herself and when they were back at home bonten asks reader on who he was talkin to and he goes"k-ane!kane!x or something along that lines thankkkksss😌
Oh this is super cute
I love this sm
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Black medical masks.
Sunglasses.
Baseball caps and hair hidden.
Make-up over their tattoos.
These dad's were ready to go to the park!
(Name) had his little bucket hat and toys, bouncing happily in Takeomis arms as they walked from the SUV to (name)s all time favorite place.
It was a little slow today, most kids at school and (name) far to little for that but that's no problem!
Set down, (name) waddled/ran to the sandpit with a squeak in every step while holding one tragic looking barbie and a power ranger.
Inupi was minding his own business, gotten off work early he decided to just relax at an empty park, not really paying attention to what was around him.
(Name) stared at the pretty girl in awe, kind smile and soft blond hair she waved and walked to him "oh hello! You can see me?"
"Hiihi!" (Name) said excited, the baby not
Quite getting she was a ghost but was happy to have a play mate "who you?"
"My name's Akane? Can you say that? A-ka-ne?"
"KANE! KANEKANE!" (name) yelled out excitedly, catching the attention of two specific men in particular as Inupi stared at him shocked "can you point to him and say "inupi?"" She asked sweetly and (name) did just that, the boy had never even heard of the scarred man.
"(Name)? Did you just say Akane?" Koko said softly, crouching down and removing his mask and sunglasses and staring the boy down with almost hope.
"Hajime?" Inupi said shocked at the sight of his best friend and almost lover, the two having not seen each other in well over a decade at this point.
"Upi! Kane! Upi! Kane!" (Name) said happily and Koko pulled out his phone and pulled out a picture "whose this?"
"Kane! Kane say no sad!"
The Bonten men were shocked, it was one thing with before...but (name) had no way of learning about Akane...
It was pretty crazy.
"You're such a good boy (name)!" Akane said sweetly and (name) beemed at seemingly nothing, playing with the ghost as the two men were stuck with awkward greetings as the rest of Bonten looked at each other with wide eyes.
(Name) sure was something.

Reblogs and tips are appreciated!

While we continue to churn out amazing new content, let's be kind and rewind to some of the OG content we love! And don't forget to reblog when you re-read! Continue to show your comfort fics and favorite creators some love. It helps keep the fresh content coming :)

If you're interested in participating in the Be Kind Rewind, message me. The more, the merrier—let's keep this going as long as we can!
If you want to know when a new Rewind drops, join the tag list, and check out previous Rewinds!
fics below the cut (listed in alphabetical order by title)
A Gun Amongst Daggers, Jake Seresin, @desert-fern
This fic is amazing! What would you say if I told you that Jake finally met his match? That match is none other than SEALs Team Leader and the most badass bitch of them all, Bear. He's whipped. Whipped, I tell you. It's so refreshing to see Jake's soft side and to see his dynamic with a woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to go get it, too!
Ghost, Jake Seresin, @dakotakazansky
Dakota Kazansky has a legacy behind her surname and her dad's blood runs through her veins. It's no surprise then that she ends up flying. On her journey to Top Gun, she meets one Jake. They're instant friends, but what happens when they take the jump from friends to something more?
Hang Your Halo, Jake Seresin, @mayhemmanaged
This series is amazing! Secret missions, angst, fluff, smut and more?! Hell yes. Also, Jake and Beckham have one of the best relationships I've ever read!
Is It Working for You? (+ Roo x Baby Girl universe), Bradley Bradshaw, @roosterforme
Alright, so next up, I want you all to meet the queen of the Roo-nicorns. Em is a unicorn of an author and a unicorn of a person. Everything she writes is amazing! With Roo and Baby Girl, she creates the richest, most beautiful universe I've ever read.
Landslide, Bradley Bradshaw, @roosterbruiser
So if you guys are in the Top Gun fandom at all, then you 100% should read Landslide. Millie is one of the best author's and sweetest people you'll ever interact with. And this story? It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and it will 100% make you want to throttle some people.
Opposites Attract universe, Jake Seresin + assorted daggers, @topguncortez
This series is amazing! G covers such a wide array of relationships so beautifully! Whether you read this for Coyote and Val, Jake and Shy!Wifey, Cerberus and Phoenix, or Dragon and Rooster, you will not regret it.
Red, White, and Rooster, Bradley Bradshaw, @cherrycola27
It's politics + the Daggers. But this AU has a sexy President Bradshaw and an equally sexy Vice President Seresin. This fic has its fair share of jaw-dropping, angst-inducing moments, and I loved every minute of this rollercoaster ride. Wise-woman is one of the most powerful female characters, and I adore her.
To-Do List collection, Jake Seresin, @thedroneranger
In addition to curating this Be Kind Rewind, Jay is also one of the most amazing writers in this entire fandom. Her entire To-Do List collection is beautiful. Jake and Mrs. Seresin have a relationship that defies the ages and is way too damn sexy to boot. The chemistry these two have with each other? It's electric!
Creator's Own
Sometimes All You Need (A Getaway Car), Jake Seresin
Jake's a getaway car driver and the sweetest man in the world in this series. I'm obsessed with him, and it's not just because I wrote him the way he is! 🤭
Tag list and friends: @petcr3 @desert-fern @Sagittarius-Lovewitch @mygyn @sweetwhispersofchaos @horseshoegirl @the-annoying-fan @dingochef @moon42flight @thecitysgraveyard @ereardon @roosterforme @cherrycola27 @galaxy-of-stories @taytaylala12 @malindacath @violyn20 @awildewit @potato-girl99981 @shanimallina87 @blue-aconite @djs8891 @linkpk88 @furiousladyking @daggerspare-standingby @princess76179 @jstarr86 @hecate-steps-on-me @darkheartcherry @soulmates8 @roosters-girl @dempy @roosterisdaddy36 @hangmanscoming @s-u-t @mavrellover91 @chicomonks @averyhotchner

Halt O'Carrick Playlist: Part 3
Part 3 of going through my playlist of songs that remind me of out favourite angry boy, Halt. I'm gonna try and go into a bit more depth for these ones this time.
Eat The Rich by Aerosmith: I don't know. I don't know for half of these songs. There's a part in the song when it talking about being sick of complaining and things: "'Cause I'm sick of your complainin', about how many bills, and I'm sick of all your bitchin', 'bout your poodles and your pills" This honestly sounds like something Halt would do. Get easily sick and annoyed of people complaining, we saw it happen in The Hibernian in The Lost Stories, when Halt got bored and annoyed by the prisoners complaining about his leg. The "Eat the rich," part just reminds me of how he doesn't care about royalty or nobles and "powerful" people and figures.
Another One Bites The Dust by Queen: Told ya there would be more Queen songs. Another one bites the dust, a saying talking about when people die. In the song it is talking about people being killed. "Steve walks warily down the street, with his brim pulled way down low. Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go --------- Out of the doorway the bullets rip." Reminds me of when he had to kill people, or maybe in an AU when he is an assassin. Seen lots of those before. I have read a pretty cool song fic with this song and Halt in it. Also the bass in the song reminds me of him because it is cool and badass like him. I could go on more about this song but my favourite song is next.
The Show Must Go On by Queen: Oh boy, where do I even start on this song? First of all, I would like to point out that Freddie Mercury was dying and really sick with AIDS when he recorded this song, so bad that he could barely stand, and yet still killed it in one take. The song reminds me of all the times Halt has been injured and probably dying and yet still continued to fight because he knew he had to and he knew it was the right thing. I'm thinking about Halt's Peril in particular. Also, Halt's been through a lot of shit, I think I've pointed that out before. One of the lines repaeated in the song are: "Inside my heart is breaking, my makeup may be flaking, but my smile still stays on." To me this really speaks about how he has still managed to carry on after all that heartbreak. (I know his smile doesn't really stay on though.) "Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance," another line that reminds me of him.
In My Defence by Freddie Mercury and Dave Clark: Yes, another Queen one. There are a lot. I love Queen, and I feel like Halt would too. This one is actually leaning more towards reminding me of Will honestly. It still reminds me of Halt, just feels more like a Will song. Especially during the chorus when it says, "I'm just a singer with a song," and "I'm just a singer with a melody." That's definitely more Will, with this lute mandola, and him going under cover as a jongelur. Other than that, it's mainly just the feels of the songs that remind me of them.
The Ghost Of You by My Chemical Romance: Lets be honest, Halt's emo. There is no denying. This song reminds me of when he might be going into battle or about to fight somone. Or something. (Kalkara, wargals, any other magical beast things he's had to fight.) This song actually be more for the entire ranger corps actually. Even the music video for the song has soilders running into battle. "You are never coming home, never coming home, could I, should I." That to me sounds like the risks that the rangers, and Halt, would have to take while going into battle, risking that they might not make it out alive.
Teenagers by My Chemical Romance: Another badass emo song for the badass emo. Not really much of an explanations. But a few lines from the song might be good. "Make them pay for the things that they did." Talking about Halt getting even with people for things, or wanting to get revenge on people, like Morgarath. "Teenages scare, the living shit out of me." Maybe not the teenagers part, but definitely the scaring part. Halt is a scary person. And creepy. But we still love him.
I Lived by OneRepublic: This one may also be leaning more towards Crowley. But in a way I guess it could relate to most of the characters. The song is literally talking about living your life, doing a whole bunch of things, and hoping tha you manage to do great things in your life. I honestly don't know whose lived more than Halt O'Carrick. Man's been through everything. And he's still going. "I hope when your moment comes, you'll say 'I did it all'"
Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace: Has anyone really noticed or talked about how reading The Early Years and reading The Ruins of Gorlan, Halt has changed a lot. Like, he was never cheerful or anything, but he was definitely a bit more friendly in the early years. Then later on in the series when he becomes closer to Will, he gets more open again. I even feel like Baron Arald was lying to Will when he was saying why Halt never smiled. I feel like Halt has changed because of peoples deaths, like Pritchard, and since he can't really get revenge on Morgarath for what he did, he kind of ends up bottling everything up. This line in the song reminds me of that: "But there's still rage inside."
Fix You by Coldplay: Talking more about how I think Halt is depressed little one who desperately needs help, comfort, maybe some cuddles, and therapy. Just adding on to how he has lost so much, and if it wasn't for Will and Gilan, and so many other people, he wouldn't know what to do.
Sail Away Sweet Sister by Queen: This song reminds me of Halt and Cailtyn, maybe before Halt left Hibernia. Talking about leaving each other, most likely never seeing each other again.
Well thats that. I'm bored of typing now. Lots of Queen and more to come! A lot of these bands will be repeating.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Friday, November 17
Gwendolyn Post almost hits Willow with a lightning bolt, but Angel tackles her to safety. Outside Buffy comes up with a plan.
BUFFY: (to Faith) Can you draw her fire?
FAITH: You bet I can.
BUFFY: Go do it.
Faith gets to her feet and runs into the mansion. Gwendolyn sees her coming. Faith ducks into a hallway and keeps running.
GWENDOLYN: Tauo freim!
Gwendolyn aims her glove and another lightning bolt is sent towards Faith. She dives behind the couch, avoiding the blast from the glove.

Great idea for a fic I’m probably not going to write but Ollie being a decedent of the power rangers version of Houdini and finding some of his stuff which Amelia starts magic geeking out of over since she’s heard so many stories about his apparent  magic abilities and then they find his journals. Similar to IRL Houdini Ollie’s ancestor did not believe in magic and went to many séances in the name of disproving ghosts and had multiple con artist trying to claim to speak to the dead except for one and they go and find her so A) Ollie can complete the work his ancestor started and B) so Amelia can try and see if of all the mediums in that journal this one was the real deal

Tag people you want to get to know better
Tagged by @tm-trx - Thank you! ☺️
Three Ships
Buck x Eddie (9-1-1) - They’ve had a grip on me since early 2020 when they showed up on my dash and have never let go since. I have no clue if they’ll ever go canon, but I’m going to root for them always.
Pacey x Joey (Dawson’s Creek) - I can’t call them my first ship, but it’s a close damn thing. I remember watching DC every week and just despising Dawson. I know it was technically his creek, but damn was he annoying, especially when he was with Joey. And then there was Pacey. Still one of my favorite television characters ever. They were so cute together and seasons 3 & 4 of the show were just excellent, mostly because of their chemistry and how many scenes they shared.
Bella x Jasper (Twilight) - Team Edward/Team Jacob, who? To be honest, I don’t really know where this one came from. I have just been in the mood recently to read some Bella x Jasper fic, and luckily there are some excellent ones out there. These moods have always ebbed and flowed, but this pairing always seems to come back every so often and they’ve got a grip on me right now. I’ve even started rewatching clips from the movies (??? what am I doing with my life???) and looking for fanvids on YouTube. I’ve always gone for the unexpected/rare pairings, I guess. Thank fuck for fanfic and fan created works.
First Ship
Kimberly x Jason (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) - Does it make sense? Not so much. But I haven’t ever made sense, even as a child. I always remember being mad that Kimberly got with Tommy and would think up scenarios that could change canon even way back then. I was writing fanfic in my head before I even knew what it was. I wasn’t joking about those unexpected/rare pairings.
Last Song
Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt - Alternative rock has always been my number one genre, particularly 90s alt rock and female-led bands are badass. This song is so kickass.
Last Movie
The Proposal - Needed a mindless rewatch of something cute, that I’d seen before.
Currently Reading
Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor by Kim Kelly - Just got this one from the library and haven’t read too many chapters yet, but it’s great so far!
Currently Watching
9-1-1 - Finally getting around to finishing my rewatch of the series with my mom that we started last year. Just made it to the halfway point of season 4. I am in no way prepared for 4x13 and 4x14. 😬
Puppet History - Doing a complete rewatch of the series, now that the latest season is finished. I do a lot of rewatches, I’ve noticed, lol.
Good Omens - I saw stuff on Tumblr when the first season came out, but I was able to get the DVD set from the library and I’m finally watching it the whole way through.
Ghosts (CBS) - I watch this one every week with my mom and my aunt.
Currently Consuming
Water - it’s almost 1am here. If I tried to eat or drink something else now, I’ll be up even later.
Currently Craving
Fries. Always fries.
Tagging some folks from my notes (but no pressure of course):

2022 Year In Review~
Hey Hi Hello! It’s that time of year again! It’s time to sit down and look back on the year, dig up my list of resolutions and see what I accomplished, and what I didn’t. The first half of 2022 seemed to drag on painfully slowly, but these last six months felt like they flew by. Maybe it’s because I’m anxious and distracted all the time now, idk. Anyway, I don’t have a lot of preamble for this year compared to last, so let’s just jump on into reviewing my goals for the year and go over them one by one!
This year I had 10 goals. They were as follows;
Read 12 New Books on anything (1 book a month)
Finish and rewrite my 2021 NaNoWriMo project
Finish chapters 4 thorugh 8 of/and edit Clemency (2020‘s NaNoWriMo project)
Finish scripting the Waterfall Arc of Ghost Switch (and then maybe the Hotland Arc, but not the whole thing. I just know I can’t get that far yet)
Build a Comic Buffer for Ghost Switch
Reach 208 Pages of Ghost Switch by June 18th
Finish 1 Song Comic
Finish 4 one shots
Find a sulfate-free bodywash and hand soap.
Write that one crack fic.
Just reading over this list again, I know I didn’t even successfully complete half of these. Hell, I think it would be a stretch for me to say I completed 4. Anyway, going into these goals one at a time, let me start with-
1)Read 12 new books
I did this! In fact, I almost read DOUBLE that amount! (I was 1 book shy of 24!) though I will admit I’m fudging one of the books on this list, because I know I’ve read it before, but it had been several years since my last read of it, so I was rereading it again. The books I read this year, in roughly this order where;
Hate That Cat
Foxes of Firstdark
Wind in the Willows
David and the Pheonix
The Power of Habit
The Flames of Hope
The Black Gryphon
The White Gryphon
The Silver Gryphon
The gryphon Generation
The Green Dragon Codex
Guardian of the Gryphons
Gryphon Generation 2: A New Era
Owlsight
Owlflight
Owlknight
Gryphon Generation 3: Colony
Griffin ranger: Crossline Plains
Griffin Ranger 2: Monster Lands
The Rise of the Dragon Star
The Starward Light, and lastly
The Gold Dragon Codex
The Gryphon Chronicles; The Lost Heir
Now let me review each of the books I read in overly simplified, very short recaps that barely explain how I feel towards them in any sort of coherent manner~
1) Hate that Cat
I remember LOVING Love That Dog when I first read it in middle school. It had a bit of a slow start, but then when everything gets connected at the end, and you realize this is a story about a kid processing his grief over his dead pet that spans MONTHS, it suddenly hits you all at once. I remember seeing this sequel in Barnes and Noble for years, but never bothering to pick it up. Then, one day out of curiosity, I searched it on youtube and found a teacher doing a read along to Hate That Cat for her class (it was a pandemic video). I listened along, and it was alright~ Not as touching as Love That Dog, but you do learn that the boy’s Mother is deaf, which I thought was neat (though him wondering what it was like to live in a world of silence felt out of place. Why wouldn’t he just ask his mom? Had the thought never occurred to him before? It was kinda weird).
2) Foxes of First Dark
I need to confess- I own this book and have read it years ago, but it’s been close to, if not over a decade since I last read it, so I read it again this year. I was surprised by how much I remembered, honestly, but it was a decent read I think you should check out if you like foxes and/or xenofiction.
3) Wind in the Willows
I have another confession to make. For my entire life I thought the children’s series “Frog and Toad” were a part of The Wind in the Willows. It was not until I listened to this audio book that I realized they were different properties. I kept waiting for frog to show up and he never did. I was so confused and then so embarrassed when I realized my life was a lie. ANYWAY, did you know there is this PHENOMINAL youtube channel/organization called Librivox that read and record audio books for free? There is one catch- every book they do is in the public domain, meaning all their work is pretty much volunteer based. They’ve got an IMPRESSIVE catalogue, though, and if you do some digging, you’ll probably find something you like! I “read” Wind in the Willows this way, and it was a nice way to chew up time on my daily commute to work and back. The voice for this audiobook was so good and soothing, even though I found this book utterly boring and even offensive and spots. Yeah, sorry classic lit fans, I didn’t like this one. I kept waiting for it to get interesting and it never did. The only part I liked was when mole and rat looked for the lost otter child and met pan. That was cool, but everything else annoyed me to no end.
4) David and the Phoenix
Another book I read through librivox! David and the phoenix is a cute little children’s tale that isn’t too challenging or deep. It’s an okay, middle of the road story for kids. But the audiobook?? Fucking trash. I don’t know what standards the librivox people have if any, but the reader for this book was so monotone and stumbled over his words constantly, making this a chore to listen too. Also, I’m pretty sure this dude had a kid in the room at some points, because they would NOT STOP COUGHING IN THE BACKGROUND. It frustrated and even grossed me out at points. Come on, show a little more professionalism, please!
5) The Power of Habit
I remember a time back in 2016 or 2017 it seems, when EVERY youtuber on the planet had an audible sponsor, and EVERY book they suggested was the power of habit. I stumbled across an illegal audiobook of this book on youtube as well, with a text-to-speech narrator, and my god.. this book is so bad???? I was kinda into it for the first third, learning about habit loops and how to form them and how to break them, but then the book’s ideals and tone shifts about 33% in, and started focusing on how habits can be used to manipulate and persuade consumers into buying products, or get them hooked on certain music, and…. It’s fucking horrifying?? The book portrays this as something positive, but as someone who is very nervous about spending money it sounded so diabolical. Each chapter the book just got worse and worse, skewing research and data to fit its narrative that the entire universe is controlled by habits. Example; they spend quite a bit of time talking about Michael Phelps, the swimming Olympian, and his daily habits. The book so desperately wants you to assume that the only reason he’s a gold metal champion is because of his habits, and it has nothing to do with his freakish anatomy which gives him a physical advantage. They mention it in one sentence, then never bring it up. It’s like… it’s like they want you to think none of the other Olympic swimmers ever win because they don’t have habits as good as his, instead of their physical limitations of their body. At one point, I thought to myself “jesus, this book is going to say the only reason the allies won WW2 is because we had better military habits, and not the fact that we dropped a fucking nuke on japan”.
And then it happened. Near the very end, this book had the audacity to bring up the civil rights movement and imply that the ONLY reason blacks protested was because of social pressure and habits, and not the fact that we were sick of being treated as subhuman. The book even ADMITS that habits were not the reason the civil rights act passed, but tries to brush this under the rug. I was so fucking angry, I went to the amazon reviews to read the 1 stars, and found a quote that perfectly encapsulates this whole book; “When you have a hammer as your only solution, every problem becomes a nail”. This is exactly what this book is, desperately trying to twist any moral failing of yours into the fault of your bad habits. Once I learned the habit loop strategies, I used it to improve some of my own, like drinking more water, and fixing my sleep schedule, but you don’t need to buy or read this book to be able to do that. If you think you need to improve your own habits, avoid this book and just research “the habit loop” on google. It will save you time, money and anger.
6) The Flames of Hope
This is the last book in the third arc of the Wings of Fire series. I am not sure yet if it is the last book over all for this series, or if Tui T Sutherland plans to write more. I actually read this book day of release. I had errands to run that april morning, and last on my list was to stop by a target. I did so, found the book, then went to their garden and lawn furniture section, then, for the next 4 hours I proceeded to read the book cover to cover in the store. No one came up to me or stopped me or talked to me in that entire time. It was kind of surreal. I also remember being super tired that day, not having slept well the night before, so I could have just been out of it.
I didn’t like this book. I felt that there were too many characters, and none were given enough screen time. I didn’t like how the main characters were “invisiable” for half the book, but that never really pushed the plot forward. I absolutely HATED the mindscape sections and how little sense it made. I had such a hard time visualizing the space and how the POV characters were able to “see” or move about the area. It dragged on for so long with nothing exciting happening, and the ending felt so rushed. I don’t know if I dislike Flames or Gift more, but these last two books in this series were just so disappointing, it really dragged down the whole third arc for me.
7, 8, &9) The Black, White, and Silver Gryphon (The mage wars trilogy)
I’m still on my gryphon-kick from last year, trying to read more books featuring them. This series by mercedes lackey was pretty okay~ I think I honestly liked the second book best, then the first, then the third. I liked the gryphon POVs, but was kind of disappointed that a lot of the first and second book to place in stationary locations, like a war camp or a castle. I wish I could have seen the gryphons in action more, exploring the world, if that makes sense. I really didn’t like the third book at all. I was excited to read about two friends going to an out post and surviving for six months, but then it just turned into a road-trip like story where they have to avoid one type of enemy, and it really let me down. It’s weird because you’d think I’d like this book the most, since the characters are traveling through an untamed forest, but when the one with wings is grounded, it gets very boring very quickly.
10, 11, &12) Owlflight, Owlsight, Owlknight
Another series by Mercedes lackey. I accidentally read this series out of order, unbeknownst to me. I read the second book first, then the first, then the third. I didn’t really like any of them. The first book I would describe as a child’s wish fulfillment. Darian spends the first half moping and complaining, and then gets everything he could ever want in the second half. The second book I would describe as “Things Going Well,” because there was literally no conflict that Keesha or Darian can’t immediately wave away until the very end and that gets resolved super quick as well. The third book was the best, but still not as engaging as any of the gryphon books were. I don’t like any of these characters nor care about any of their problems. The owls in these books, for which the series is named after, aren’t even major characters or play a major role in any of them! False advertising!
13, 14, &15) The gryphon Generation, New Era, and Colony
These books were bad, but not as bad as “Eyrie” which I read last year. (I tried reading the second book, “Ashen weld”, and could not finish. Probably the only time I couldn’t finish a book out of spite because it was so boring). The characters have a bit more zest to them, but the plot and world building are weak and nonsensical. I swear the gryphons are just a substitute for people of color in this novel, and the conflicts are cartoonishly blown out of proportion. Thyra, your main character, is one of the oldest gryphons in existence, at the grand age of 19 years. So human society as a whole has only known about gryphons for less than 2 decades. How on earth does the sport of gryph ball become a world wide phenomenon in under 20 years. How on earth is thyra, one of the first of her kind, allowed to roam the world free of constant observation or escorting from the scientists who made her? How did she integrate so quickly and easily into human society to be left to her own devices? The very fundamentals of this world do not make sense, which makes the rest of the book difficult to read. I read the two sequels as well, “new era” and “colony”, but it never gets better. There is a fourth book out now, but I doubt I will read it. The message at the end of the third book seemed to say that “eradicating the human race is okay, actually,” and Idk how to feel about that, honestly.
16 & 17) The green dragon codex and the gold dragon codex
After reading so many mediocre/bad gryphon books, I decided to retreat back to something I knew I would like more. 2 years ago I went on a book buying spree and bought a lot of dragon books of off amazon. One series was one I started as a child and never finished, called the dragon codex series, or something. It’s based off of D&D, and their classes and what not. While I enjoyed the first book as a kid, finally reading all the others made me realize that this series is never truly about the dragons, but rather the human characters which I found to be a huge disappointment. I also noticed a trend where the dragons will always shapeshift into a human, which was a damper for me. I didn’t like the green dragon codex. It wasn’t even about the green dragon, and in the end, the green dragon (which are inherently evil) becomes a metallic dragon (which are inherently good) because someone believed he could be good. Why can’t he be good and green? Why can chromatic dragons ONLY be evil, and if you are good, you MUST be a metallic dragon instead? I would have been over the moon if a green dragon could be raised to be good, but forcing this dichotomy sends the message that “evil can never change, and if you become good, that means there was good in you all along.” How does the saying go… is it not more valiant to triumph over your evil nature and rise from the bottom, than to have always been good in the first place? I can’t think straight right now, but I hope my thought still manages to come across..
The gold dragon codex was a bit better, but still very shallow. I honestly have nothing to say, as there isn’t much there in these books to talk about. None of them are deep or thought provoking, but I can see how kids and enjoy them, and I’m glad I finally read the entire series. I did a bit of research and learned there were supposed to be a couple more books released, but never got made due to contracts and publishers expiring and what not, but the author decided to write her own series with no restraints, so maybe I can find these books and get something new out of them now that they don’t have to work within the limits of the publishers. We’ll see what happens~
18) Guardian of the Gryphons
This book was bad. All the ideas are surface level at best and never explored in any meaningful way. The way the death of the parents is relayed was hilarious. Don’t read it. Don’t even bother.
19&20) Griffin Ranger: Crossline Plains and Griffin Ranger: Monsterlands
*Gordon Ramsay Voice* “Finally, some good fucking fiction.” These two books were INCREDIBLE. I read the first one online and was immediately hooked, I could barely put it down. It’s been years since a book has done that to me. The descriptions, the imagery, and the world building were top notch. This writer clearly knew what they were doing. As soon as I finished, I went out and bought the first two books. The best way I can describe the first book would be “western noir thriller”, while the second one is a dark suspenseful, borderline horror story. I know there is a third book out already, but much like these two, it seems to be the first half of a duology, and the 2nd (4th?) book isn’t out yet, so I don’t want to read it yet and be left on a cliffhanger. This book is about a parallel earth without humans, where anthropromorphic animals rule, including Lions, Wolves, Dogs, Ringtailed Cats, Parrots, and Griffins. It’s great furry literature and xenofiction. The second book takes place in our world, and it is one of the darkest, most suspenseful things I’ve ever read, and it really forced me to love characters I initially hated in the first book. I hope the author finishes book 4 soon. I don’t want to give anything away. Please go read it if you like griffins or xenofiction, you won’t be disappointed!
21) Rise of the Dragon Star
This book is the first in a new series by author Jess E. Owen, who wrote the summerking chronicles, and partially the reason I got interested in literature about gryphons. It was nice to return to this world of wolves, dragons, gryfons and lions, but I have to be honest, so far it’s not as good as Summerking was. I couldn’t help but feel like I saw more typos and grammar errors than the first series, which is a shame because the editing in the first series was virtually flawless from what I remember. I’ll continue reading whenever the second book comes out, but I’m not dying for it to be released like I am for griffin ranger. Again, an average fantasy romp for kids and mythology fans, but so far nothing deeper than that.
22) The Starward Light
This book is also by Jess E Owen and is a collection of short stories set in her world. I enjoyed this book! It was a great collection of character studies for some of those with more minor roles, which always helps to flesh out the world~ I can’t say anything much more than that. There is no grand plot, or overarching story, but if you liked the Summerking Chronicles, you’ll enjoy this one as well~
23) The Gryphon Chronicles; The Lost Heir
OH! I almost forgot this one! I actually read this book waaaay back at the beginning of the year. Probably the first or second on my gryphon kick. It’s alright. Not that deep or challenging. In all honesty I was kind of bored for the first 2/3rds. Perfectly serviceable children’s literature, but not really about gryphons. There IS one in the story, but he doesn’t become important until the very end. It’s more focused on an orphan human boy, and we’ve been there, done that in so many other stories, I was kind of checked out.
Aaaand that wraps it up for the books I’ve read! That is one resolution down, nine more to talk about! Next on my list was;
2) Finish and rewrite my 2021 Nanowrimo project.
I didn’t exactly do this. The first draft was a jumbled mess, and didn’t make sense and all the scenes and chapters didn’t connect and the whole thing was riddled with plot holes. This year I made a much more detailed outline, and even took this up again as my nanowrimo project for 2022 and rewrote its second draft. It’s much more coherent now, but still I didn’t I finish it. Hopefully for 2023?
3) Finish chapters 4 through 8 of Clemency, edit and post them.
Didn’t do this one at all. Clemency might just end up being a story where I only post one chapter a year, which may offer a unique reading experience if you follow along as it’s being updated, but I can also understand why it would be infuriating or frustrating or annoying or not fun to read that way. I do want to finish Clemency one day, but it’s also not a story I want to rush, you know? So far, I think it’s one of the most introspective stories I’ve written, and I want to do my best to write it right. So, if you are waiting for Clemency to update, sorry it’s taking so long, but thank you for your patience~
4) Build a comic buffer.
I… can’t remember if I did this. At the time of writing, I am preparing to do this, as I am about to host a patreon-only stream to celebrate the end of the year, but I can’t recall a time I had more than three pages ready in reserve. I think if I ever did have a buffer, it never lasted long. I hope to change that next year, and I’m doing my best by trying to get at least 8 pages made in advance~
5) Reach 208 pages by Ghost Switch’s 4th birthday
I did this! Right in the middle of a memory! Proud of myself for maintaining an average of 1 page a week over these last 4 years. Now I gotta get to 312 before Ghost Switch’s 6th birthday in 2024~
6) Finish Scripting the Waterfall Arc of Ghost Switch
I.. didn’t do this. I made significant progress for sure, but… I’ve been putting it off for months, now. And the sad thing is, I’m almost done, too! I just need to script out Frisk and Undyne’s final confrontation, and the Waterfall Arc is done! Will I get that far in the comic in 2023? Part of me says I won’t, that we’ll only reach the middle of Waterfall by the end of 2023, giving me another year to put it off, but I’m gonna have to do this sooner or later, and I would rather get those smaller details ironed out now so I can make corrections early while I still have the flexibility, you know?
7) Finish 1 song comic
I did this! I made Dead Hearts for Undertale’s Seventh birthday this year! I can’t remember if this is the song comic I originally had planned for this year, or if it was just the one I ended up getting the most motivated to do, but I’m glad I’ve made another~ I think this is the third year in a row I’ve made a song comic? Last year’s was wandersong, and the year before that was undertale’s 5th birthday with New Soul. It would be nice to consistently put out a song comic for some video game every year, but I don’t know if I can feasibly manage that..
8) Finish 4 one shots.
I didn’t do this. I think I only wrote one one-shot year, and I feel bad about that. I have the ideas, I have the prompts, I just don’t have the inspiration or time. Hopefully next year will be different.
9) Find a sulfate-free body wash and handsoap.
Lol, I did this literally the day after I posted my “2021 Year review” post. I remember this day, too. It was early January, I went to the supermarket early in the day, fully prepared to spend hours reading the backs of every shampoo, conditioner, and handsoap bottle to find one suitable for me. I quickly learned that the grocery store organized all the “premium” washes in one section which greatly helped reduce my research time. I found this great brand called “renpure” which fits my price tag, and it’s been life changing. Warning, TMI incoming; I used to have bad dandruff and an itchy scalp. To help alleviate irritation, I would use dandruff shampoo from Head and Shoulders. It would help for a day or two… but the itching would always return. I later learned that my scalp was itching because it was dry, and it was drying out because of my dandruff shampoo had sulfates in it. The shampoo I was using to help relieve my pain was also actively causing it. I noticed an immediate difference after switching, and my scalp hasn’t itched in months! My dandruff is also significantly down, though not gone completely (im not sure if that’s even possible since our bodies are constantly shedding skin all over, but hey, it doesn’t look like it’s snowing when I comb my hair now)
Okay, down to the last resolution;
10) Write that one crack fic.
I didn’t do this. I thought about it a couple of times, but this is so low priority, I never really expected to do it this year. What is the crack fic you may ask? I want that to stay a surprise, but for a hint, it involves a crack ship between 3 cartoon characters, 2 from cartoon network and one from Disney channel. I wonder if you can figure it out just from that. I will be impressed if you do.
OKAY, NOW ON TO RESOLUTIONS FOR 2023!
I don’t really have a lot for this year. I think I’m becoming more realistic over the years, and more aware of my time and energy, so when I sat down to create a list, I honestly didn’t have that many. Maybe I’ll divide them into 2 groups, a “serious” list, for resolutions I will actively try to do, and a “casual” list for goals I will try if I have the time or energy. Does that make sense? Okay, let’s see what I want to achieve in 2023…
FOR SERIOUS GOALS, I WOULD LIKE TO;
Read 12 new books (1 Book a month)
Finish the Snowdin Arc before Ghost Switch’s 5th Birthday (June 18th)
Rewrite and finish the third draft of my 2021 (and now 2022) Nanowrimo project
Write 4 Oneshots (preferably Grow, Bake, Beach and Home, for BSaPT)
Finish Scripting the Waterfall Arc of Ghost Switch
One secret goal that, if I achieve, will render all other resolutions moot and meaningless
FOR CASUAL GOALS, I WOULD LIKE TO;
Finish writing Clemency, though maybe not edit/post it all
Write that crack fic
Build a comic buffer that will last me 2 months (8 pages)
So… yeah, not that many goals this year. Hopefully this means I can achieve more of them and have a higher ratio of success to failure, but we’ll just have to see how that goes!
You know… looking back on my past “year in review” posts, it came to my attention that I… didn’t really review the year. Sure, I talked about my goals, but not too much on what I did those years. I’d like to change that, by also talking about some experiences I had, or events I found notable. I want… to remember more, but I can’t do that if I don’t record it, and pretty soon all my thoughts and memories blend together over the years, and I can’t remember what happened when. I’m already trying to recall who I was or things I did at the beginning of 2022 and find it near impossible, which bothers me. What did I DO in 2022? Did… did I do anything outside of work or sleep or draw comic pages? I know I did, but the fact I can’t recall with specificity which troubles me, and I’d like to prevent that going further. So think of this as… a diary of sorts. I will try to keep better notes to myself what I do over the months, probably in drafts or memos in my own note-taking discord so this section for 2023’s year review will be more fleshed out.
Okay, so, this year in February I went to an Ikea for the first time in my life. It was surreal. Now, I’m the kind of person who will drag my friends to the Container Store or Hobby Lobby for fun, and just look around for shits and giggles. Ikea also invoked a similar feeling like that to me. I liked the displays, and how even in America, all the display books are in their native Swedish. I opened up a few and tried to see if I could read it (since I’ve had a perfect duolingo streak for Danish these past 8 years), but sadly I could not. I can read the small bridge words, like “to” “so” “he” “she” “are” and “the”, but nothing much bigger. You’ll be proud to know I am now teaching myself Swedish on duolingo, though I’m only on unit 8 out of 43, which is still the really early stuff. Hm. I might try to teach myself Norwegian and Finnish next. I do like learning Danish and Swedish because the grammar is so similar to English, which makes it quick to pick up. Oh, forgot to mention, I don’t like the ikea displays with fake windows that have lights in them. It really fucked with my sense of orientation in the building, because sometimes I’d think I’d be right near a wall that was an ACTUAL window to the outside, when in reality I’m smack dab in the middle of the display room >:( Also I tried the meatballs. Eh, they were all right. Not crazy about them, though.
I didn’t really play a lot of games this year, which made me sad, seeing as I had bought so many last year and didn’t even start them all. One game I did buy this year, and proved to be a very interesting gaming experience was a game called “The Longing”, and it’s a game all about waiting. I found it pretty charming! I beat it in roughly a month. If you’re interested, I suggest looking up some video reviews before you buy, because it really is a game with a different play style that not all will enjoy. I hope to play more games this year, seeing as there are still so many I haven’t beaten or started (snakebird, typoman, carto, and linelight to name a few I’ve been meaning to get back to.) I think once spring break came around, I just got swamped with work and just kinda forgot about them.
OR, maybe it’s because I downloaded a mobile game on my phone for the first time in my life and got obsessed with that instead. The game is called “dragons world” and it’s pretty cute. It’s a resource management, Number Goes Up, kind of game, though the developers don’t update it any more, and haven’t for years, so it can be super laggy and bug out at times. Still, I like the character models and art MUCH more than Dragon City, which is why I downloaded that one instead. It’s a fun little time sink if nothing else.
Speaking of dragon games, I came to the decision to stop playing Flight Rising. It’s… an odd feeling for me, because I had played daily since I signed up in 2014, but as of late, the gameplay just felt… stale. I remember times in 2016 when I would get my laptop in bed, put podcasts on in the background, and just grind in the coliseum for hours. I don’t regret all that time spent back in those days, but the thought of trying to do that now seems so…. Pointless. I knew for the past several months I wasn’t enjoying the game anymore. I suddenly felt no desire to finish breeding projects when more and more genes came out, because I kinda felt like… “great, this gene is fantastic and would fit SO much better on this fandragon, but with THIS color instead, and now I need to go and recreate them..” Pretty much this whole year I was only concerned about finishing my bestiary, which felt like a sisyphean task because new ones were being added ever fucking week it seemed. Waaay back at the beginning of the year, I was already feeling the burn out, and put all my dragons into hibernation (except one, so I could still do the daily gathering) The only thing I did regularly on FR was brewing, because I would sell stacks of 99 materials around the holidays, but even that felt pointless now that you could convert your mucks and slimes to the other colors. Fun Fact- I used to have Flight Rising bookmarked to my toolbar. It was the second one in the row behind youtube. Every morning, I would turn on my computer, open my browser, and open up my most frequented sites first thing. They included Youtube, Tumblr, Doulingo… and Flight rising. This past November, after the earth holiday had passed, I just... deleted the bookmark from my bar, and hadn’t gone back since. I know I’ve missed the nocturne holiday, but I just don’t care anymore. It feels like breaking an addiction. I don’t want it, I don’t need is, and most surprisingly, I don’t miss it.
During the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year, I got back into the original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. I think the hype bleedover from the release of Scarlet and Violet reignited my love for the early pokemon games. I had never 100% them as a teen back in 2006, as I couldn’t figure out what to do past the main storyline tbh, but I’m proud to announce I’m well on my way to doing that now! Currently 100 hours on record with 278 out of 386 pokemon recruited, and 32 out of 43 dungeons unlocked. I haven’t been able to put much time into it since thanksgiving because of the holiday rush at work, but I hope to complete it in early 2023~ It’s been a lot of fun recruiting new mons and oneshoting every enemy with my overpowered, level 80 totodile that can conquer every dungeon on his own.
Let’s see… what else… Oh! I think either riiiiight before or riiiiiight after Ghost Switch’s 4th birthday, the follower count on my fan art deviantart surpassed the number of followers I have on tumblr. After just checking 5 seconds ago, the DA account currently has 2218 watchers over there, while here on tumblr I’ve been fluctuating around 2,130 due to all the sexy singles in my area that I have to constantly decline. In all honesty, follower counts aren’t something I really pay attention to. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super grateful to everyone who likes my stuff and reblogs it and decided I was worth their time to watch/follow/subscribe to, but I would be doing this if I had no watchers, or 25 thousand watchers. To ruthlessly repurpose something I read here on tumblr years ago about raccoons; “God gave [me] hands and no concept of shame, [and I will create until the day I die]”. Ultimately, I find it a little unnerving that so many of us (because, yes, I am one of them) still use DeviantART, despite its undoubted decline in user friendliness over the years. Hell, I only use it as a mirror/archiving system for my fan art these days, but I won’t lie that a lot of webcomics I read nowadays are exclusively hosted there which humbles me.
I went to an aquarium that was repurposed from a car dealership this year. I got to touch a lemur and some sharks, several sting rays, a very amorous armadillo, a tamandua, a toucan, and an Australian possum. (Some weird lookin’ fish, I know. Over half these animals weren’t even in water!) The child in me who believed that Animal Junction from Zoboomafoo was a real place was finally able to die happy. I also ate dippin dots again for the first time in years, and got to live out my fantasy of being a giant ant eater for 15 minutes, so over all it was an enjoyable experience. Unfortunately this aquarium also constantly played unfitting videogame music throughout the whole building and it was fucking triggering to hear Undertale’s “megalovania” and Kindgom Heart’s “Sanctuary Remix” back to back when I was in the gift shop checkout. You can’t just play video game mating calls in the wild like that. It confuses us geeks and stresses us out. I wanted to meet their music curator so bad. I just want to talk, I swear.
This year for my birthday I had friends come over. We played jackbox and ate ice cream cake, and to end the day we did those melty perler-bead-and-pegboard art projects. It was a lot of fun, and I hope to do it again this year~
Welp… I think that’s all I have to say for now. Between times of novelty, most of the year was just spent living my life, enjoying each day as they came, creating and drawing and writing and dreaming. I hope to do even more of that this year, on top of other things, but we’ll just have to see where the wind takes us~ Thanks for sticking around with me, guys, and I hope you have a happy new year!

Poké OC-Tober answers
This was initially from Twitter but I thought these prompts are interesting so I'm answering the prompts for the Pokémon crossover AU nychthemeron and of nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei)!
This is put under the cut due to length and also because it covers potential future scenarios of said AU. I plan to maybe draw something for some of the prompts so I’m not answering all of them in this post.
1: Introduction
A: For starters, the basic concept is that nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) is the protagonist of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, but her story is where Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon takes place 3 years after the Ultra Beast mission from the original Sun and Moon and had a lot to do with the aftermath of Selene, Hau, Gladion, the International Police and the Ultra Recon Squad dealing with the awakened Necrozma and how nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) is involved in it.
I thought the Necrozma bit after you deal with the other UB’s makes a good sequel hook for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and thus led to nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) being Ailey, the Selene of USUM. (Ailey is the promotional name for the female protagonist in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon before Selene became the female protagonist’ official name)
2: Starter
A: nychthmeron! Yuu (Rei)'s official starter is Gabriel the Primarina, Popplio at the time. Unofficially, well, her starter wasn't Aster despite the friendship she formed with him as a Cosmog but rather, Gareth the Houndoom.
She first met Gareth as a Houndour and his pack migrated all the way near Eterna City, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei)’s hometown during the Lake Valor bombing by Team Galactic and they distrusted humans as a result of said bombing.
It took a while for them to trust a young nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) but her kindness to them won them over and from then, she’s considered a honorary member of Gareth’s pack.
They eventually migrated back to Lake Valor with the Pokémon Rangers keeping watch of them though that said, the pack still makes trips once in a while under Ranger supervision because they’ve already bonded with nycthemeron! Yuu (Rei) and considered her part of the pack.
Because of that, Gareth became her unofficial starter.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t bring Gareth along to Alola when she joined her maternal cousins at age 11 since she wasn’t a full-fledged trainer yet so she instead got Gabriel as her official starter.
3: Childhood
A: Her childhood background is nearly similar to the mainline counterpart’s past. Except that with Pokémon around, her ability to see the dead is more accepted and not something that people alienate her for.
In this story though, her sight is more an inherited aspect of her Psychic grandmother than a generational curse and side effect of having been spirited away.
However, she doesn’t get any psychic related powers ala Sabrina so her psychic like abilities only extend to her ability to see the dead.
Though she did get bullied one time due to some kids picking on her for said sight and calling her a “Ghost Pokémon magnet” for it, half of it has to do with the kids admiring local Gym Leader Gardenia and they thought they’re doing Gardenia a “Favor” by picking on her. Since it’s known that Gardenia hates ghosts.
Of course Gardenia wasn’t pleased when she learned about it.
Another difference nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei)’s had with the mainline counterpart is that her relationship with her family is happier and less strained.
So that’s about it.
4: Best Friend
A: Outside her Pokémon and family and mentor figures in Alola, the one canon Pokémon character that she’d consider a very close friend would be Gloria.
In the story, Gloria is Victor’s cousin and Victor is the canon Galar Protagonist for the fic which makes him champion and Sword and Shield happens a year after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in the fic.
It started when nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) went to Galar with Selene for a champion business trip and meeting Leon and nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) was goaded to join the gym challenge as additional training and she was on the same gym challenge season as Hop, Victor and Gloria. (She’s the same age as Hop, VIctor and Gloria, who are 13 going 14 by Sword and Shield)
The problem is that Leon was only able to make two endorsements and so he instead offered Gloria the Isle of Armor pass so she could train and maybe get sponsored by his master so she’d at least still get something from the gym challenge season.
nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) also got the pass as a visiting champion (Even if honorary) and that’s how she first met Gloria.
After beating Raihan though, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) had to go back to Alola for a bit since her honorary champion duty is already done and she just want to finish challenging the gyms. So nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) completely missed out the fiasco of Chairman Rose awakening Eternatus and after that, she headed for Kalos.
At any rate, Gloria keeps frequent contact with nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) and they remain good friends.
For added note, Klara is the rival that they met in Isle of Armor and Avery hasn’t joined the Dojo yet until Victor and Hop arrived.
5: Talent
A: Singing. Well, not to the point that it’s universally praised but both nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) and the mainline counterpart are decent singers. Another talent of nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) would be skateboarding and surfing.
This is heavily influenced from the Mantine Surfing game in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and in her story, Mantine Surfing is a fairly new thing in Alola and nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) is the main figure who made it a strong part of Alolan culture.
6: Favorite Pokémon
A: Well, that’s a tough question, though if nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) had to pick, she would say the Houndour line.
She admits that she’d pick Eevee over Pikachu since she thinks Eevee’s are cuter but she would pick the Houndour line over Eevee.
This is more that she grew up practically adopted to the pack of one and Gareth.
7, 15, 24: Free Space
A:
By the time she got brought to Twisted Wonderland, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) did not have a Dynamax band with her anymore. She did complete the gym challenges at Galar and did some training in Isle of Armor but she decided to give away her Dynamax Band to Gloria because she believed Gloria would have better use of it than she would.
As such, she only had her Z-Ring that also doubled as her Mega Ring while in Twisted Wonderland.
nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) nicknames all the Pokémon she caught with a few exceptions. Usually, she doesn’t give a nickname to a Pokémon if she had no idea what to name them. However, there is one Pokémon that she refused to nickname at all. Necrozma itself. It had a lot to do with what went down in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Necrozma taking over her Solgaleo traumatized nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) hard enough and she refused to give a nickname to Necrozma even after catching it to ease it’s pain down the line. The trauma never left her and that’s why she hesitates and decided to not give Necrozma a nickname.
nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) used to have a celeb crush on Volkner as a kid and idolized him at a point that she got influenced by his personality and battle style. Granted, she had grown out of her crush on Volkner by present time but she prefers to keep it hidden.
11: Region
A: If she had to pick a region, she’d pick Alola. Her start is in Alola and she will come back to Alola every year because it’s become a new home to her.
She still had a home in Sinnoh but Alola has become her new home.
12: Hometown
A: Eterna City, Sinnoh.
Her new home in Alola is in Hau’Oli city, Alola.
13: Family
A: Her main family consist of 5 discounting the grandmother. Her parents and two brothers.
She also got paternal cousins living in Kanto and her cousin, Shiki especially also show up in her story and Shiki’s adventure is basically a Pokémon-ified take of green ray, a prequel to the mainline story and Takemichi’s psychic powers instead came from a Celebi that he befriended but that’s the gist of it.
14: Job
A: Her current job is a professional trainer and Pokémon Champion set to succeed Selene in Alola. Outside of her honorary champion duties and taking care of Alola when Selene is busy, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) does Mantine surfing and she’s popular as a Mantine Surfer and skateboarder.
16: Favorite food
A: Now I rack my brain a bit for this but here’s the answer:
Personal favorite: Oyako-don. In the Pokémon world, this is made with Chansey eggs and Slowpoke tail as Chicken substitute.
In the old days in Sinnoh, Starly’s that are hunted used to be the “Chicken” for the Oyako-don but with evolving society, people use naturally growing slowpoke tail that had been cooked and diced as substitute.
nycthemeron! Yuu (Rei)’s family isn’t exactly vegetarian so she’s more willing to eat actual Pokémon meat and is neutral and capable of eating actual animal meat while in Twisted Wonderland since her logic is that “If people of days old used to eat Pokémon then she got no room to talk about what’s right or wrong.”
Regional specialties: Rage candy bars. Though despite the name, they’re actually just Manjuu’s in a different name (The Japanese name for Rage Candy Bar is Ikari Manjuu).
nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) used to make these as a family snack back in Sinnoh since they rarely got the chance to go to Johto so it’s a comfort food and nostalgic flavor for her.
17: Fear
A: Being helpless is her greatest fear. This is fueled from nearly losing Aster when Necrozma forcefully took over her Solgaleo. This incident also made her fear having her Pokémon forcefully taken away or replaced in some way and while she did have confidants in the Ultra Recon Squad and Selene for it, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) hasn’t fully gotten over it.
20: Present
A: Currently, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) is stuck in Twisted Wonderland and awaiting the Ultra Recon Squad to find a way to get there and bring her back home. But at present time, she has traveled 8 regions total and is more or less slated to be ready to take on Selene’s position as Alola champion anytime due to the traveling being counted as her training trip but since Selene is only 3 years older than her and hence, fairly young at 19 years old, Selene wants to hold her position as Alola’s champion for longer until nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) is ready to take the mantle.
21: Ambition
A: nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei)’s initial goal of being a trainer was to travel around and have her own call to adventure. She sorta got that already with her Alola journey and some as she traveled the regions and train.
Since her goal is more or less fulfilled, she doesn’t have a clear idea what to aim for next, but hey, she isn’t alone and she got her team with her so they’re together to figure out the next step.
22: Team
A: The full roster is here. The main Alola team is here.
25: Ace Pokémon
A: Gabriel the Primarina. While all the Pokémon nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) trained a lot of Pokémon, Gabriel is one of her strongest.
27: Secret
A: If there’s one thing that nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) kept secret from the Twisted Wonderland cast is her status as champion and Aster’s existence.
Because the trainer system and the like don’t really exist in Twisted Wonderland, nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) felt that the position and status of Champion wouldn’t really be useful for the time being.
The other half is that she wants to be treated as a regular person as a change.
Her feats in defeating and capturing Necrozma, and defeating Team Rainbow Rocket at a young age of 12 gave nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) much unneeded pressure and all the worship and idolization that resulted from it.
nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) got used to the pressure and the responsibility of her duty in some level, but she hated the idolization she received for it.
As for why Aster is kept secret, she hasn’t talked about Aster being a Solgaleo in any form and would not want to bring attention to Aster in some way.
29: Ship
A: Personally, I haven’t thought too far about it. But what I’m set about is that nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) is not going to be paired with anyone from the Pokémon universe.
She did have people crushing on her, at least those her age, but that’s about it since she barely paid attention to romance.
So that left the Twisted Wonderland casts.
However, what I want to keep consistent from the mainline fic is that I’m narrowing down people who actually are romantically interested in nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei).
Ruggie is still one of the people who had a chance to be romantically interested in nychthemeron! Yuu (Rei) but that’s about my current thoughts for it and I haven’t thought too far yet.
That said, I’m more open to possibilities for Pokémon AU version of Yuu (Rei) since she isn’t as closed off like the mainline counterpart was.
-----
Skipped questions: No. 8-10 since I’m unsure of how to actually answer this, I’ll answer them on a later date.
To be drawn: No 18, 19, 23, 30 and 31
That’s it for now!

For some strange reason I got it in my head that a Power Rangers AU would work really well for Animorphs. I don't have the details (LIKE AT ALL) but Sixth Ranger Tobias? Rachel being the Yellow? THEY EVEN HAVE GO TO BATTLE MORPHS THAT CAN WORK AS THEIR ZORDS. (Sorry. I just - it'd be HAPPY in the end.)
While I am ALWAYS up for something that lets these kids have a nice time, I actually missed pretty much 100% of Popular Media from the time frame of…like, more than ten years ago. I am. Only BARELY aware that the Power Rangers are a thing. They are…teens? I assume? And I think they have, like, a set limit of critters that they can turn into? My brain has produced the phrase “Mighty Morphing” so I think they may be the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers? But also that doesn’t really track with what I previously assumed the Power Rangers did, which was that I thought they had a suit that gave them powers like Iron Man. So.
But also I thought Ben 10 was Power Rangers as a kid, which. Pretty strong indicator of how thoroughly I missed the existence of anything on Nick or Cartoon Network (? not sure which?) as a kid.
My point is that someone else will need to take up this excellent torch because I was a troglodyte and lived under a rock.
