Clip from Curt Mega’s Movie Monday stream from yesterday, 2/12/24 (or 12/2/24 for non Americans) of Curt responding to a comment about Mark Chasity being very much not straight, and confirming it (his headcanon, not canon).
At any given time, there are no less then a dozen rumours and two dozen tales surrounding Professor Widogast of the Soltryce Academy. He’s secretly an archmage who not so secretly tells the Cerberus Assembly to fuck off every other week or so. He once dated Archmage Becke when they were schoolmates together and lived to tell the tale. Every cat wandering the school halls (of which there are a sudden and inexplicable number) is actually a polymorphed Professor Widogast. He used to work as a mercenary, and fought cults. The cat napping in his office is also a polymorphed Professor Widogast. He learned dunamancy by seducing a high-level Dynasty spy. He writes Zemnian fairy tales in his spare time. He used to be a Volstrucker and may or may not have assassinated Archmage DeRogna. He spends his weekends fighting gods. He invented golf. He’s got a perfect memory and can recite your assignment back to you word for word if you question his grading. He and Volstrucker Grieve were sharing spell books in the library’s Restricted Section last week. He’s met King Dwendal. He once stopped a war. He moonlights as a pirate. He’s actually a werewolf.
If you actually ask Professor Widogast about any of the stories, he’ll look at you with an uncomprehending expression and deny everything before throwing in an off-hand comment about the current phase of the moon.
(The silver beer stein sitting prominently on a shelf in his office was Beau and Fjord’s idea, although Caduceus was the one who suggested the wolf design. Certain people’s complaints that he could at least be a were-cat were unanimously shot down)
((It’s possible that 90% of the rumours and stories surrounding Professor Widogast at any given time were started or shamelessly encouraged by various members of the Mighty Nein. Veth was exceedingly proud to discover that the collective student body and faculty had already voted her boy Hottest Professor eight years running))
(((Astrid and Eadwulf take turns submitting his name every year. He’s always looked so pretty when he blushes, and it’s not like it isn’t true)))
just played some Case Files with LoV part in it and just thought about a giant project like "every LoV filler ever in ANY media"
like games, manga (including those SMASH!! pages) or irl events (like ONE of LoV seyuu playing as LoV without any real footage of it) and most importantly - Ultra Impact events, but sadly I don't have ALL of them of at least I can't share jp server events that I know at least one happened before global started
I'm not that good with knowing what Ultra Rumble has as something special other than emotes, some phrases or outfits and I don't exactly play it
One's Justice 2 (the one Horikoshi named chapter with Hawks and Twice after) on the other hand has literally tons of interactions from just battle things and recruit talks that depend on your trust of something level to Arcade where defeat and a win give you a mini dialogue and LoV has levels with each other
the only problem with the latter is that I either did level them all up too much already and it would be a pain to lose progress or I'm not really interested in doing already hard to make screenshots one by one FOR EVERY SINGLE LOV FIGHT twice.
But since I've never found actual archive of those things aside from occasional video of Plus Ultra attacks or voicelines without any subtitles for jp vers or again Plus Ultra attacks only for the new characters... that's either worthless or it doesn't matter as much
Still! While 1-A class fillers and stories are so easy to find - literally in the novels or 90% of SMASH!! and Team-Up Missions (and I saw one thing that suspiciosly had LoV in there but still looking through it) while anything semi-canon or at least that can be considered such with LoV is either serves it's purpose in the final arc of the manga now or is actually hard to find since wiki doesn't actually keep up with the official games
maybe it's just an excuse to show little things that Ultra Impact keeps as it's canon for events like Tomura being good at poker and it first was in his "holiday story" and then it appeared in the event much later chronologically with MLA already working with LoV
Also if I remember correctly there are multiple vids with LoV somewhat main point of focus and there are still cool (like that one part of Peace Sign with villains suddenly being there for couple of seconds)
You know...writing a fanfic about a rare character no one in the fandom remembers is when the freedom of fanfic really hits me.
No one is going to read this fic. There is zero pressure in finishing anything. There's no pressure in even posting it to begin with because no one cares.
There's just something very beautiful about being obsessed with a completely insignificant blorbo.
I.E. Currently obsessed with Gin (again) from One Piece. He was the first character I REALLY rooted from the very start and then continuously delivered until the ending (during which I screamed in frustration that he wasn't staying on as a waiter at Baratie despite all the setup that he was staying at Baratie as a waiter).
also lowkey vent but I watched a gameplay of de after finishing my playthrough and the guy did get the ending with Kim which was really cool since I didn't get it myself but he's a centrist and ended with the very annoying "this game makes fun of all ideologies and also I didn't understand the last scene with the deserter and also I'm mad that the game called me a fascist because I randomly picked the political options" so that's two unsatisfying playthroughs of the game for me 😔
