Illaoi tilting her head with wide eyes looking at Sarah:

Pyke, bursting in hysterical laughter and pointing at Sarah: She just told you your deepest darkest secret!

Sarah: Oh, dude come on! Arent you overreacting a bit?

Pyke with tears on his eyes and wheezing: You must be so embarrassed!!

About Ottabio being the Cloud Guardian, I have almost never seen that take. All I've seen is that Ottabio is the Cloud OFFICER, not Guardian. I agree with that, too. There wasn't nearly enough Rage from Xanxus when he talks about Ottabio. Like, the Varia hate him because he betrayed his Boss and got him Iced but not the Loathing I'd expect from him betraying Xanxus. Since the entire Fandom agrees that Harmonizing is a Thing, even if Canon never gave us that, that would have been a soul deep betrayal. Like on Nono's level.

What I've always been exposed to is that he was good enough at making sure the Clouds did their jobs and wrote a report on it but not talented, strong or smart enough for Xanxus to consider him for more.

Also, the opinion was that the Good Clouds all saw the pain in the butt job and bailed. Like they didn't want to wrangle other Clouds. I mean, just look at Hibari or Skull. Neither of them would want that responsibility and would leave entirely. Those 2 are just lucky that they're strong enough and geographically and familially lucky enough to escape being pressganged into a Family when they're at their weakest. Whereas the rest of the Italian Clouds need be to under someone's banner before they're forced into one. The Varia happens to encourage their violent tendencies so there should be Good Clouds Xanxus would like.

I think he never had a Cloud Guardian because none of them have stepped up to control the territory. Xanxus is the Boss. His Elements have to be ready to Step Up and since none of the Clouds he would have been willing to consider never took that step, he won't consider them in turn.

The only one that did step up wasn't qualified enough for Xanxus. Ottabio did the job so he was enough for the Officer position but not the Guardian one. Xanxus is Particular about his Guardians. Varia is a place for the Best which shows how good his Guardians are to be the Officers as well.

Varia is HC'd to be Survival of the Fittest, so if someone doesn't like you having the job, if they can kill/beat you, they get the job. So with Xanxus's Guardians all running their divisions, it shows that they are Very Good. Of course, there's always allowances for people who just don't want the jobs or just aren't suitable to the position but may be stronger. But his Guardians all run their divisions smoothly enough that there's no gossip about them being bad at it. (Umei no Mai's Black Sky shows good examples of this and is now the only way I can see the Varia operating. She also has fascinating theories on how Flames effect others, and might explain a bit of Nono's Everything and also has a Galaxy Brain Take on Giotto (and Alaude by extension). It's so freaking good.

And about Nono's betrayal being soul deep, I Highly Recommend that you read Hidden Sky by Sefiru. (I actually have the title AND the author memorized for this. That tells you it's good enough to Remember so you can look it up whenever.) It brings up such an amazing idea about Xanxus and a peek at what made the Cradle Affair happen (the Flame side of it, I mean). Also it has poly Tsuna, amazing PoVs, actually SHOWS how Skies are treated as Royalty, not just has people respecting a Sky (PoVs of Flame Actives in Namimori reacting to Tsuna, it was so clear how highly Tsuna was regarded and then they MET him) and Hana squaring off with the Vindice (Iconic).

Since I'm ranting about Clouds, I'm going to keep going. I hate that everyone says that Clouds are Lone Wolves. Like, statistically, yes some probably are, but Every Cloud we see is part of a Community. Whether they're the Leader of it (Hibari, Skull) or a Follower (Visconti), they are always connected with others.

Hibari is Obviously a Leader but I Swear Skull is, too. This HC will Never change. Cause this is a travelling stuntsman. The World's Greatest who does his own shows. That means he needs a Crew. People to rent venues, advertise, do the finances, his mechanics (for during the show to keep things moving, otherwise I HC Skull taking care of his bikes), the Run Around Agent (thanks, Serifu) and whoever is Skull's Right Hand to pass on Skull's orders. (I'm going to do a stunt here and this is what I'll do. Ok, Skull, I'll order/build the equipment, rent the venue, let everyone know you're performing, etc. Right Hand then makes the calls to his minions.) Because I can't believe that Skull wouldn't rigorously maintain his Crew since they are needed to let him break physics and go against the supposed laws of nature. His stunts should be impossible. I HC that as that being what Skull fights against, not people (no offense, Hibari). Also, I low-key HC the Carcassa Famiglia is Skull's Crew dressing up as Mafia to that Skull has his own banner to be under, otherwise people would be Stupid enough to keep bothering Skull since he's just a Civilian pushover. This way, if someone wants to hire Skull, they'll contact the Carcassa's and his Run Around Agent will "Lose" the requests. So Skull isn't having to fight off recruitment all the time.

Another Highly Recommended fic is Karmic Balance by Sanjuno. KHR/Naruto cover where Kakashi and Obito are reborn in KHR and break the patterns of Fate. The 10th Gen are taught to be BAMF ninjas and break off the worst of their character traits (ie Hana's misandy, Gokudera's Issues since he's taken in early enough, Hibari's disdain for everyone/thing(I love him but I would hate/fear him if I ever met him)). The idea of Clouds being Pack Animals became crystal clear to me in this. Through Kakashi's Summons, of all things. But so many subtle HCs that I had subconsciously thought but never articulated about both Fandoms were spelled out so clearly, it was amazing.

Once again, the recs are:

Black Sky by Umei no Mai

Hidden Sky by Sefiru

Karmic Balance by Sanjuno

!!!!

Magic x Marvel: Idle Speculation

I have a lot of random thoughts about the upcoming Magic the Gathering x Marvel crossover, and I thought it would be neat to just ramble about them in a post, especially so I can hopefully find that post again later when the sets release and see how much I was right about. I'm just gonna bullet point this because this is kind of a stream of consciousness sort of deal:

We know that we're getting multiple "tentpole releases" a.k.a. more than one full set for this particular crossover. I'm thinking at least one is going to be a straight to Modern draftable set similar to the LotR set, but I don't think they're necessarily just doing that for all the sets. I speculate that the other (or one of the others if there's more than two) set is going to be a gimmick draft set, such as 2-Head Giant or Commander draft.

I personally am hoping one of the sets is a Commander draft set, and that our partner variant for the set goes the Stranger Things route and just creates a subset partner variant. I propose the name Team-Up, to represent the ubiquity of team up storylines in comic books. (I actually made an entire post about this but Tumblr's wonderful search function is choosing not to find it on my blog.)

Ooh, if they do go the Commander draft route they can make the Prismatic Piper equivalent a Skrull or something

I really, really want a Squirrel Girl card that makes squirrel tokens that I can jam into my Chatterfang deck. Squirrel Girl is my favorite superhero and I just want her on a card so, so badly.

I think it would be cool to have a Mjolnir equipment that in addition to its other effects also has a bit of trinket text along the lines of "equipped creature is a God in addition to its other types."

Thor and Loki and any other Asgardian that represents an actual god should have the creature type God. It already exists. Like sure, we could make Asgardian a creature type if we wanted to, but that's the coward's route.

I saw someone make a comment on Reddit about adding Hero and Villain as creature types, but I really, really hope that doesn't happen. It runs the risk of making the creature types in the set super repetitive, and we're already gonna see a lot of that from the sheer number of human characters. Sure, we'll have some mutants and aliens and robots to occasionally break things up, but it'll be much worse if the class types among cards aren't varied.

Like seriously, let's use the movie Avengers lineup. What's better...having four Human Hero cards, a God Hero, and whatever we do with the Hulk...or a Human Soldier, Human Scientist, Human Archer, Human Rogue, God Warrior, and whatever we do with the Hulk

Yeah, actually...what are we gonna do with the Hulk and related characters? In a vacuum, I would probably type the Hulk as Mutant Berserker...but for IP reasons I wouldn't be surprised if the Mutant creature type is reserved solely for characters with the X-Gene. I don't have an answer for this, just wondering...

Oh, and since I mentioned the MCU, I do want to say one thing, if they're smart they'll base the sets on the comics and not the MCU. Gives them a lot more material and characters to pull from

Booster fun treatment should lean into this and be comic book themed, but I think they would also be smart to offer some Secret Lair drops featuring alt art versions of the characters based on the MCU...if they're willing to deal with the likeness rights and whatnot.

Multiple tentpole releases does mean multiple commander precons. Some themes I could easily see them basing decks on: the Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man/Spider-Verse, Guardians of the Galaxy+other space themed characters, a deck for a bunch of the more mystical Marvel characters probably led by Dr. Strange, S.H.I.E.L.D., A.I.M., Villains in general (from my memory Marvel doesn't really have a singular Legion of Doom type team up of its iconic villains, but I'm definitely picturing a Villains deck that tosses a bunch of iconic villains together in one deck...you could call it the Masters of Evil as a deep cut though.)

If Gambit gets a card, he should have an ability that lets you discard cards to deal damage to a target to represent Gambit throwing cards at his enemies. (This is the kind of wink at the camera stuff I love in UB products.)

Koi Boy should get a card purely because he's a canon trans man and Magic really needs some trans masc representation.

Movie year 2014?

send me a year and i'll tell you my favourite movie of that year

Ah, 2014. In Ireland, we have these massive exams at the end of our final year of secondary school (high school) that determine what college courses we qualify for, called the Leaving Certificate.

On the eve of the first of the exams, my Aunt took me to the cinema for one last piece of relaxation before the massive stress of the next two weeks.

Having never watched the show or the prior movie, we saw The Inbetweeners 2.

It was the awkward, cringeworthy experience of my life. I have no idea why that show is beloved by British people of my generation.

Anyway, on to the good stuff. 2013 reignited a love of animation in me, and there were some damn good movies this year. Big Hero 6 and How To Train Your Dragon 2 were great films.

It was also quite possibly the best year of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the two films they released were the iconic Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the beloved Guardians of the Galaxy. And this is also one of the few years Fox put up some resistance, as X-Men: Days of Future Past is point-blank one of the best X-Men films. Shame Sony screwed up their offering.

Though speaking of action, this was also the year we met John Wick. Meanwhile Kingsman: The Secret Service showed us how traditional, cheesy/campy Bond can work in the modern world; and Edge of Tomorrow/Live.Die.Repeat./Live.Die.Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow is some fantastic sci-fi, even if the studio flip-flopped on the title. The original Japanese light novel is called All You Need Is Kill, to add to the confusion.

And if we're talking about action, I legally have to bring up The Raid 2: Berendal, even if I haven't been able to watch that in full.

Personally I think The Theory of Everything was the better of the two biopics about British scientists that came out this year.

While I'm not the biggest fan of horror (I'm a scaredy cat), It Follows is fucking amazing, absolutely loved it.

To go to horror-comedy, What We Do In The Shadows has been a surprisingly impactful movie for a little indie film from New Zealand.

And 22 Jump Street is great, even if it's been tarnished by recent accusations against Jonah Hill.

...but for my favourite? Why it's the other Lord and Miller film of 2014. Before they gave us the massive crossover of the Spiderverse, they gave us the massive crossover that was The Lego Movie. I still have a minifig of Vitruvius on my shelf. Up until 2021, I had a newspaper poster of the movie hanging on my wall. I just loved it.
