#or. namely like a few different patterns atleast.
Note
I went on your blog to see which fictional men you were getting your boobs big for and I immediately saw Zarbon. Very valid
everyday i play back every episode of DBZ with him in it in hopes hes angled a specific way to look at me through the screen and see. like hi sir yeah 🤗✨
honestly im a sucker for a lot of fictional dudes. i just tend to talk about Zarbon alot because he's the whole reason i'm gay the way i am. though i have made a list showing off a lot of other key dudes id get my boobs big for. <- normal thing to say. i should know. im the one who said it. normal normal.
Tumblr media
#ask#greeneyre#there's definitely a lot more i could fit on this list but.#i feel if i added more id have to redo the sorting or id end up with a number thats not fun for formatting.#and im sure some characters i have likings for that arent on this list would have some folks be like ''huh? him??''#with dingodile i kinda wish there was a good official render of one of his first few designs#namely the one closest to crash bash's model.#i think crash bash has the best version of dingodile in terms of shapes and proportions#plus i like his sounds from crash bash the best :) i like his laugh#that isnt to say i dont like his current design or anything though!!! love him through and through#these arent in any specific ranking or order btw#i have zarbon and his beast form seperate only to ensure i didnt have one in the spotlight more than the other#you cant have zarbon without his monster form. youre ignoring his true beauty if you do.#i think theres definitely a pattern among all the ones shown here (and ones ive neglected to mention on this chart)#or. namely like a few different patterns atleast.#idk who else id point out as one thats not listed here. atleast a normal one that fits among these#oh uhhhh. white haired main dude from jojo part 5. and the guitarist from part 4.#akira otoishi and leone abbacchio#wouldve loved to have fit them both but then id need like. two more slots to make it 32#fuuuck now im a little sad i didnt list those two#if i had to list a character thats probably weird for this list itd be a character from the banjo kazooie series.#not clanker. i love his design but not in that way. clankers a girls best friend.#anyway ive been wanting to post this list for a while but. hadnt had the best opprotunity until now#thank you for the ask :) my heart lights up any time someone agrees with me on Zarbon#i could hyperfixate on him for hours. my mutuals know sadly.

Journal 65: I’m a what kinnie?!
Journal 65: I’m a what kinnie?!
Authors note: Do not do this to every single fandom your in. You will get burn out. You will get exhausted. Do not do this with history books or historical dramas, you might just spur a real person and while that can be awfully enticing I don’t recommend it. Do not to do this to emulate a fictional character that you kin like “JUNKO LOL!” or “The real ass dave smutty puppet ass strider” do this with your soul, with very little requests and changes, and allow them to paint you. Sometimes yeah your gona be the villain, sometimes your gona be hero, sometimes you’ll literally be in porn if you get to excessive about these sorts of channelings. I give these references and warnings for someone named Kami who I knew abused what I have taught, I’m still gona teach it though because I am not my students (atleast not usually) and this information needs to be public.
So what is challenging? Challenging is the art of zapping yourself or ideas from the magickal world. In how we’ll be teaching it’s the art of painting you! Now you wont’ always get to be the main swoosh the main character, grade A supporting cast even. But you do this right? Welcome to monster high. So what exactly am I showcasing?
Well this isn’t otherkin. Let’s make that very clear. This should also be done with patience and solace and not to live an escapist fantasy. I literally used to run a reality shifting blog. So I know “fantasy escapists” when I meet them, and for some people that’s all magick will ever be. Know that very few people will believe you (about causing the splits or that the splits are you) unless you have time stamps, and understand that you can’t control how they’ll paint you sweetthears, you just have to roll with the punches.
So this is how to get yourself channeled and prophesied into fiction! Ripped the one- the only- Acrians Locket (totally my other alias and I’m totally not lying about it!)’s work.
“In Alphebetical order:
Allow me to explain this trick. You go to a show midproduction or marathon with no previous knowledge or insider scoop of it (pause via marathon and temporarily forget about your arrangement and come back and you should be there). Then you talk to the egregore of the show and ask to be written in or do a ritual to begin such. You must be able to hear and see spirits. Then negotiate with the Egregore. Then if you pay it with your watch time and homage and possibly merch drops (very rarely for me though) it will write you in. All of time and space will be warped into the show. Congratulations you now have makeup. Things will be different, but a newbie character is introduced (you shoudn’t make alot of requests for reasons that will become crystal if you do this enough but I wont divulge here out of curiosity since that is your mistake to make) that’s you fucker! Wrong gender, wrong hair, wrong ego boost! Doesn’t matter it you! So congrats. The show looked at your fucking soul, your trauma, your history and made you into a character, if you think your too butch or fem! TOUF SHIT. This is how you come across, hero or villain now you see now you know.
Now this is the list of characters I have done this with. Doesn’t matter if its a self insert, if its based on shit. If it’s missing shit. It doesn’t matter if you think these are all “kinn shit” I literally prophezied my being into fiction and this was the result. Should you explore all of these characters or read into biographies you will note patterns. Now- also- it doesn’t how big a show is as long as you have good intentions while doing this. Aka not to be a pervert, not to be hypersexual or what have you, or exploit other people in the canon. The show will note that and take it into account. This is NOT otherkin, this is (atleast for me because of revelations) actual magick your doing here, that I myself have done (again look over the list for those patterns) I’m an occult your an occultist so act like one with these results and then do as I did, and welcome to the makeup joint, this ain’t the otherkin club that’s all later.
LEADS:
Adam Warlock -marvel comics- this one specifically had a lot to do with time travel when writing me in, and I do have rituals for that but I probably won’t share them.
Jack (Supernatural) its a really good cw show with a lot of occult monster and end times christianity theming, but if your watching for my presentation wikipedia or summaries because i’m not introduced till season 6 (the show is hella complex) when i asked to be
Rose “Hi, I’m a Witch, and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion” Okay so this one is weird cus I also have spells to prophesize me into fiction on its own merit, and shortly after via ritual time this book was announced and I ordered and it even had the guidelines I give when being channeled into anime first time without watching, such as the bright pink hair and spirituality which is part of it. No joke you can track down my record in Session Grim on waiter abigals blog and you’ll see that this was predicted. FUCK MAN. I’m good. Yes they changed my gender fuck off that is one of my channelings. Also Kami came with me and became my love interest when IRL he is obsessed with time and knights has weird love potion shit going on right now and wants to bang me. FUCK. Welp guess I took him with me.  The bloody hell. Bet he’ll take credit again. WHATEVER
SUPPORTING:
Spinel Steven Universe -one off villain than ally they still as of writing plan to villanize me further and I really don’t mind! /genuine-
ONE OFF OR BACKGROUND:
Adam: Voltron -1 episode- again weird time shit but ya know.
Mark Miraculous Ladybug -side character queer, even has my old hair and rainbow gloves-
SHOWS I PLAN TO DO THIS WITH:
Starwars (stay tuned!)
(Monster high) weird stay tuned!
(Avatar the last airbender! I’m told I’ll be wearing green! :) )
(MLP ponys franchise not show)
I know I also did this with overwatch but I stopped playing around that time so IDK whos supposed to be me!
And also- Bungou stray dogs! (were about to get season 3 so stay tuned!)
So now I know what your thinking, what in the world- how- does this work when its like toy related, or something something important? Uh you’ll see. There are no limits with this process. In truth I’m very important spiritually and I do not know if I always get my way because I’m this important (not trying to be egotistical but i kinda am) or if I’m just playing my cards right but who knows! This also works on past time shit. So if your watching a show like startreck the original and you know NOTHING about star track and mid marathon you do the ritual (that i would suggest ritual for) that you do this and everything sorry loosing my train of thot- then bam! Your now in startreck. But you have to be new to it or it can’t be introduced yet. I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH!
Your loophole if you really love a piece of work is spin offs and novelas just keep tabs on the news of it and you’ll see! :)
Anyways, uh that’s the tutorials nad this entry.  In a few posts my novel will be out and I really can’t wait for you to see it all 
-Acrians Locket
6:20 PM
7/15/2022”
So um yeah! This is a “methodology” that can also be implemented into spells and rituals to get your likeness into fiction. It will be all of space and time if you play your cards right. I think I’ve made it clear that this ISNT fuking otherkin though no hate to them, this is something else entirely, and while I do believe sharing this- kinnies will abuse it, I need to warn you that this metholody was coined by me and thus protected and if you start doing it left and right because you gluttonous and you want to live an escapist fantasy? There will be consequences, now I won’t go into what those are here, but they are dire and you should always practice magick to practice magick, not to have some vivid daydream! Always have a really good reason, and if it’s not good do it sparingly. Anyways happy hunting.

(Note: Idk if this counts as an Oc species or not. Also I know character might not fit in said world, but I just really wanted to make something for Trolls.)
(Last updated: December the 24th, 2023.)
Zippy Twist- a fairy with a big ego! She is one of the fastest fairies that still lives. She is popular because she beat a racecar in a race.
Description: Zippy, or just Zip, is a fairy that has more beetle like wings instead of butterfly wings. whenever the wings buzz, they leave a golden pixie dust trail. She has blond hair and two crescent-like yellow stripes over her eyes & has these stripes on her outer wings. Her single horn on her forehead also has a golden ring on it. She hates the winter and rain. Her special powers are creating small outer circles of electricity, and making it bunch up and shoot in one area like a mini lighting strike. To small creatures, this is like getting severely tased, and can even be lethal, but to human sized creatures like the bergens, this will only leave a painful burn mark, unless she charges up for a long time. (atleast 3 mins.) She is also blessed with a third natural power that allows her to be very, very, VERY fast. From the moment she started breathing, she started to bounce of the walls, and constantly run away from her parents.(because she was a brat.) For party tricks she can shoot glitter out of her horn that is golden. And She CAN and WILL start breakdancing when she feels like it, and will blow raspberries. She has a decent singing voice.
Backstory thought: Was going through a really rough time back then, and was slowly loosing her colors, until one day she decided to start racing. When she won the first one, with no effort, and everyone cheered, it gave her a major ego boost, and ever race after that made her happier. This is why she loves racing and other sports.
Other: Parents don't approve of her sporty nature and how cocky she became after her popularity, but they still love her, and she loves them too.
She has a sister named Tessa, Tessa Twist. She's calmer and plays the harp, and sings like an angel. She spends her time playing away from the fairy village on a big mushroom. She's sort of a hippie.
This takes place in Dreamwork's Trolls, and the fairies are around Troll size. They are a bit different from the fairies people usually imagine. They have paw like feet, long tails with a weird shape at the end, and horn(s), and are always GLITTERY, because of the natural glitter they make in their wings that allows them to fly(this also sometimes leaves a glitter trail..). Sometimes fairies have different types of wings. Sometimes they can look like butterfly wings, or more beetle/bug like! Their horns can also come in different shapes and styles- they can be like goat horns, a classic straight pointy sharp horn, etc.. and they can have markings/patterns anywhere on their skin!
During the night, they can start glowing to emit light to see better, but depending on how dangerous the area is, is how much they'll glow. Sometimes, they won't glow at all because of danger (or because it's annoying when you're trying to sleep-)
So yes, they are walking flashlights.
They can also perform spells, and have powers they can easily do because they got them at birth.
For spells, most fairies only know party tricks, but if they study they can do powerful spells.
As for things they got at birth, they can be random. These random things usually result in what they are named. They can usually have 1-2 of these natural powers, or three at very rare instances.
For outfits, they are usually made of furs from animals that are prayed on by other animal predators, like eagles. They also like to wear jewelry sometimes, and even wear rings on their horns.
(Note: if their wings get injured, they can heal within a few weeks. And when their wings get wet, it makes it difficult to fly because it washes away the glitter on their wings. So usually other creatures won't see them flying around Winter or rainy days.)
__________
Now, for the Lilliputains, They also take place in the Troll world. If you don't know what a Lilliputain is, it's basically just a really tiny human. Lilliputains are about the size of a Troll.
For their redesign, I was thinking about making them have fangs, pointy ears, pointy fingers with paw-like feet, a rodent tail, and can have slit or different shaped pupils. They are naturally rude creatures and are wild, and make simple weapons.
Both Fairies and Lilliputains can loose their colors like the trolls if they get depressed. But Faries also lose their color when they die, or it can just become paler/more grayish?
__________________
Okay, that's it. I just wanted to put this somewhere just in case I lose this somehow.

TALK AROUND BOLLYWOOD FILM ‘THE KERALA STORY’ , & CONNECTED DISCUSSION ON #LOVEJIHAD - A TERM THAT ORIGINATED FROM THE CORE OF THE FILM’S SUBJECT.
#THEKERALASTORY! IN CINEMA HALLS NOW! & In my capacity & reputation as critic, that can clearly declare to be THE BEST BOLLYWOOD TRAILER TO HAVE EMERGED OUTTA TINSELTOWN FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME ! (And produced by Vipul Shah, so no surprises there!) TOPICAL, UNIVERSALLY & LOCALLY RELEVANT, & BRINGING BRILLIANT FILM STANDARDS INTO PLAY! THESE are the films that DESERVE to become BLOCKBUSTERS ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jk3vquJDGs #TheKeralaStory Msm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRLPLug2T-Q #TheKeralaStory 's No. 1 Promoter ! From PM's Official Page! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-yeJyAlsvQ
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
#LOVEJIHAD DISCUSSION:
Many (especially liberals) may look at content & religious background of the film, & think it to be divisive & political.
But this channel has, for past 7 yrs, posted tweets against forced or sly conversions, & forever demanded Govt to ban conversions totally!
( Going by the accepted universal understanding of looking at SECULARISM as the focus on, the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR of all religions under their purview, NOT on their HIGHEST COMMON FACTOR. Ie. Secularism as the focus on, multiplying all the various ethos uncommon to each to arrive at a final spirit ethos...thus fulfilling the essence of any religion (the anchor for human hope & positivity), namely TO UNIFY SPIRIT. Not the focus on, the highest common emotion, giving rise to each of these religions, thus destroying the very purpose of religion, namely TO RAISE & NOT SUBSIDE the human SPIRIT (spirit = prana shakti in Yogic terms).)
Tumblr media
Many journos like Swati Sharma etc, have posted literally 1000s of stories-vids of girls forced to convert to Islam by cruel force of different type or by marriage in guise of love, also under hidden id, but later asked to convert or else..
This film is a extreme but true eg. also highlighted by journos.
Do You Know-
The term #LoveJihad was given not by Hindus, but by Christian clergy in Kerala, seeing slew of cases coming to light in Kerala, in 2010, where Christian & Hindu girls were so picked up in love, & then taken to live in ISIS states.
(Watch 1:36-2:36) https://youtube.com/watch?v=GbHgEpQNZ0s
Not just Hindu, but Christian, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, & Adivasi groups have protested against #LoveJihad-
1. https://youtube.com/watch?v=GbHgEpQNZ0s 2. https://youtube.com/watch?v=aEZZJa9N_4c 3. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eiG3NQ88Inc 4. https://youtube.com/watch?v=MS9fj43U0cQ 5. https://youtube.com/watch?v=_bsDOrRQNwg 6. https://youtube.com/watch?v=8K8jnB4tIR4 7. https://youtube.com/watch?v=BizhkIR2OoQ
Classic #LoveJihad pattern, observed by journo Swati Sharma, who's spent her entire career on it-
1.Muslim guy estg contact with Hindu girl u/false Hindu name. 2.When girl deep in love,reveals true id,& if protests,says: "Would you've gone ahead, if knew real id?" 3.Girl is thus ego-emo-plus-morally blackmailed, & marriage organized (ofcourse via Muslim custom),incl name & religion change in 5 mins, following which the Hindu girl is month by month, subtly yet surely made to abandon Hindu religious spirit.
& This she says is seen in 8/10 cases.
Watch from 20'-25'> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbHgEpQNZ0s
Journo Swati Shama says how herself alone receives atleast 5 cases daily, of #LoveJihad, which include cases of kidnapping, or murder, or cheating accusation made by the converted & spiritually harassed Hindu (now Muslim) wives.
Do you Know-
This larger term #LoveJihad that hung on many yrs,was defined as 'FALSE LOVE TRAP' by Allahabad High Court,in one of its orders,one of several such cases where it & many other courts have given orders punishing this tendency of marrying under false name/religious id.
Did You Know-
Records of few big 'Daava' ('Invitation to Islam') organizations, per journo Swati Sharma, nabbed by ATS few yrs back, show half 'convertees' in their books, were girls converted via marriage.
Giving rise to a perception of this as a 'modus operandi' in society.
(6:36-7:51)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=p0lEInEkh-k
Journo Swati Sharma further states, how outta the below cases of girls converted via marriage, in 'Daava' books, A LARGE % conversion cases ultimately involved the crimes of murder, being cut to pieces, & being burnt alive.
 (Watch 13:45-16:45) 
https://youtube.com/watch?v=p0lEInEkh-k
AND THE BEST & INFACT ONLY SOLUTION, TO C-U-R-B THIS DISTURBING & CORROSIVE TREND, IS FOR GOVT TO B-A-N C-O-N-V-E-R-S-I-O-N-S TOTALLY !
You don't need to formally enshrine yourself in a particular religion, to follow it's best practices IN ETHOS & SPIRIT. WHICH IS KEY.
BUT YOU MUST NEED TO FORMALLY ACCLIMATIZE YOURSELF IN THE TRUE ADDITIVE & NOT SUBTRACTIVE SPIRIT PRACTICES OF YOUR & ALL SURROUNDING RELIGIONS, TO PROGRESS WELL ALONG THE SPIRITUAL PATH.

Louis Vuitton Bag Images, Inventory Pictures & Vectors
Louis Vuitton 2021 animalier new collection trousse in caramel coated canvas leather with large monogram logos. Fashioned from Monogram Giant canvas, the On The Go tote bag is as hanging as it's practical. A Monogram Reverse pattern on the perimeters and handles creates a classy contrast in colo... This bag was originally made for champagne vintners to move bottles. Soon thereafter, the Louis Vuitton Speedy bag was launched . In 1936 Georges Vuitton died, and his son, Gaston-Louis Vuitton, assumed management of the corporate. For six consecutive years (2006–2012), Louis Vuitton was named the world's most dear luxurious model. In 2013, the valuation of the brand was US$28.4 billion with revenue of US$9.4 billion. The firm operates in 50 countries with greater than 460 stores worldwide. [newline]Many bag rental websites are full scammers, but Bagdujour.com isn't on that record. Depending on the style, the dimensions, and the era of the purse, Louis Vuitton Noé luggage range from £192 to £700, with some exceptional items fetching higher prices. Occasionally the Speedy bag can be discovered for less than £100, nonetheless, costs sometimes vary from $200 to $3,000 for restricted editions, such as the World Tour or Monogramouflage. A few years ago, Louis Vuitton launched the Haute Maroquinerie service. This presents the brand’s prime purchasers the chance to design their very own bag based on preselected shapes, leathers and hues. Customers are invited into particular design rooms to create the bag nearly entirely to their specs. Colored variations together with Framboise, Plum, Magnolia and Silver fetch up to £1,500 at public sale, and restricted edition pieces corresponding to textured monogram at £2,000, in addition to unique leathers, which sell up to £10,000. I really feel like costs have gotten insane but except for Hermes or Chanel or exotic leather the manufacturers owned by multicorporations have turned trend into a factory. Atleast with Hermes and Chanel products seem scarce as different, nations , stores sell some different things. Most Noe luggage have an adjustable strap for simple carrying. It’s rumored that the Alma bag was initially custom-made for Gabrielle Coco Chanel in 1925 and only launched together with her permission. Whether this rumor is true or not, it’s clear that the Alma is one of the most recognizable handbags on the earth. Their very first precedence is to have a branded designer purse. In today’s trend world, many manufacturers are rising on the floor once in a while, competing in the international market to face tall among other firms. phoenet.tw louis vuitton replica Louis Vuitton is a well-known French model that was founded in 1854.

A woman out of time (james norrington x f!reader) chapter 2
Tumblr media
TW: suicidal thoughts, idk what the word is but the reader is seeing things that isn’t there
You washed your face and looked into the mirror, the circles under your eyes were enormous and it looked like you hadn't slept in days, what indeed was. Every time you closed your eyes you saw the battle of Wakanda or you saw the faces of people that you had murdered. Murdered, you had murdered them. You screwed your eyes shut and clung to the sink for dear life, a sob escaped your lips. I don't deserve this, you thought to yourself, your victims should be alive not you, them. Not you, Vision, Vision deserved it. Or Wanda, Bucky, Sam, Peter, T'Challa everyone besides you. T'Challa, yes he deserves my place, but he isn't here to take it isn't he? You softly hummed a song to yourself, a method to soothe you. After a few minutes of humming, you opened your eyes. Red, your eyes were red, you touched your cheeks and you realised you were crying. You stared into the mirror, you saw yourself but you couldn't reconise her. You stared to face and noticed the scars on it, they were small and were from the bomb that exploded right in front of you and you noticed the burn on your neck. You didn't found them ugly, but you didn't love them either. They were a part of you now and you couldn't do anything about it, just like your arm. You felt neutral about them. You picked up your toothbrush and brushed your teeth, the feeling of guilt slowly washing away. You knew that that feeling would never go away, but just like your therapist said you must learn to live with it, if you wanted to live your life in a somewhat peacful state.
Ever since half of the population died you didn't knew what to do, you felt like you didn't belong in the group that they called themselves the Avengers but you also didn't fit in as a civilian, so in the chaos that Thanos left you packed your bags and moved away, after you were fully healed ofcourse. You left everyone a handwritten letter and then you moved into a little old house on the shore.  
You heard the telephone ringing, you walked toward the livingroom and picked up the phone. Maybe it was Steve, Natasha or Tony you didn't knew. You wiped your tears away, stupid ofcourse because the caller couldn't see them. ''Hello, with Y/N'' you said into the phone, it was Natasha. ''Hey Nat! How are you? No, I'm not crying why did you think that?'' ''You know that you don't have to lie to me right? But if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to'' ''Yeah, I've been crying but I'm fine now. '' The last part was half a lie, you were fine but a few minutes earlier you weren't. ''Im glad to hear that you are doing alright, sometimes it is just so hard you know?'' You hummed in agreement, not knowing if she talked about her past or about the guilt she felt with the whole Thanos hassle. '' But, Y/N/N, I, no we have something important to talk about. Scott, you remember Scott right?'' ''Yeah, I remember him, he was snapped right?'' ''We thought that too but a few hours ago, he showed up on our doorstep of the compound.'' ''So he wasn't snapped away, you mean'' now it was her turn to hum in agreement. ''Y/N, what I want to tell you is that we can bring them back and we want you to be there,'' you smiled a little and you whispered: ''Ofcourse, I will be there'' ''We will pick you up in an hour, see you then'' ''See you Nat'' Natasha hanged up and you pressed the telephone to your chest and let yourself fall on your little couch and let out a laugh. A few minutes ago you felt on a point of breaking down and now hope streamend into your veins.
An hour flew by and you saw in the distance three figures walking, one blond headed, one red headed and one had dark brown hair. You openend your door and welcomed them inside, ''Hi guys'' you said to them and gestured that they can sit down, you went back to your little kitchen and brought back some drinks and cookies. You sat on a chair and turned your eyes to Scott, ''so you just showed up after 5 years of radio silence?'' ''Yep'' ''how?'' ''I got stuck in what they call the Quantum Realm'' ''What the hell is that?'' you mumbeled, ''Alright so, that realm is a microscopic universe on its own and if you want to be there you have to be really tiny. Time works different there and basically I got stuck there'' ''What do you mean time works different there?'' you asked to him. ''Well, I was missing for 5 years right'' you hummed in agreement, ''but for me it was 5 hours. So I thought what if we can navigate that universe and can enter it at a certain point in time but then exit the realm at another point of time.'' Your eyes widend and your brain couldn't proces it really, ''I don't understand what you mean and that doesn 't make ant sense Scott'' he sighed and then said: ''Timetravel'' ''Like back into the future type of thing?'' you said to him, ''Wait how do you know about back into the future Y/N?'' said Natasha surprised, you turned to Natasha ''I saw it on the television ofcourse!'' Steve furrowed his brows and said: ''How have I never heard of that movie?'' you shrugged your shoulders and focused your attention back to Scott. ''So how do you guys want to timetravel, I still don't understand how you guys want to do this but I'm in.''
At the compound
After you guys could convince Bruce to help, things had happend quickly. First of all he was green, that was pretty weird for you and for the rest of your team. He explained to your group that he emerged himself and the Hulk together, you were pretty grossed out about this and was scared to asked how he did that. Secondly, you couldn't convince Tony to help out wich was disappointing but not surprising, after all you two held contact and you knew that he had a family. You understood that he was scared to loose his life or his family so you didn't try to persuade him into helping your group instead you were chatting with Pepper. Thirdly, without Tony's help was Bruce all alone on how to make this time travel thing. You hoped that he knew how to make this thing, but you weren't so sure about it. Scott was the test person and when he was gone you thought it finally worked but instead he was a teenager, then he was a baby, then he was a grandpa and then he was finally back to normal. There was panic and not just a little! Natasha was relieved when she saw that Scott went back to normal and Bruce spread his arms out and said proud: ''Timetravel!"
''But it didn't work really work'' you noticed, ''yes but also no'' Steve shaked his head and then Bruce said: ''What? I see this as an absolutle win''
Night time
A radio was playing a soft melody. The woman who you stared at didn't move a muscle, she looked like a dear in headlights. Time moved slow, to slow for her and sweat was forming on her forehead. You didn't even knew her name or why you were here, you only knew you had one job. The room reeked of blood and it was coated on the floor, you raised your arm and pulled the trigger before she could even scream. You could hear her body fall, finally you woke up and you could hear your heart racing. You clenched your jaw and stepped out of your bed, your feet touching the soft floor, you hummed softly trying to calm yourself. But you couldn't hear yourself, all you heard was the soft tune of the radio. Shuffling in the dark is never easy, your fingers touched a wall and your eyes went wide. Blood, why was there blood on the wall. You squeezed your eyes and then you saw the pattern on the wall. It was dark green with little leaves and flowers on it, your hand flew towards your mouth when you realised you were not in your bedroom anymore. You turned your head and then everything went back to normal. You didn't saw the blood splatters and the wallpaper anymore but you were in your bedroom?
The next day
A lot happend during the day, Tony showed up out of nowhere. Thor was back, who looked like shit. Rhodey suggested to go back in time when Thanos was a baby and to strangle him, which you found very amusing and Clint showed up with tattoos and a sad background that he killed people just because his family passed away. Everyone grieves differently I guess, some people like me you thought are gonna live in solitude and other people are gonna kill people for the fun of it. So now you were lying on the floor next to Bruce, Natasha and Tony trying to figure out where the stones are. Tony, Bruce and you were arguing about which place and time is the most convienent but Natasha broke your quabble. ''Guys, if you pick the right year there are three stones in new York'' ''Shut the fuck up'' ''You're a genius you know that right'' ''Whoah'' were the three things that were said in unison to her.
After five years you finally wore your suit again. The med pack on your bag felt familiar and you almost forgot how thick the leather was, the only bad side was that you now had to wear a mask. On your wrist was a watch and after twenty explanations from Tony you understood how to work with that thing, above your suit you wore another suit were you would timetravel in. You are going to travel with Tony, Scott and Steve to New York 2012 because Tony could help you with your suit when you didn 't knew how to work with it. ''Can someone please explain to me why I would have to wear a mask again?'' Actually you did know why, because the four of you didn't want to risk that 2012 Steve would regconise you. The Avengers and you were walking in unison and you guys formed a circle. Natasha and Steve looked at eachother and she said to him smiling: ''See you in a minute'' a machine whirred above you and you clicked on a button to summone your helmet and then you were shrinking.
It was a really weird experience to say atleast, your tummy was doing cartwheels and you felt your fingers (but not from your vibranium arm) tingling. You saw blue everywhere and it looked like honeycombs. You marveled at this, but then someone's elbow went into your ribs and you flew out of the orbit. Instead of going right with the others you went straight ahead. Shit, shit shit! But everything went so fast you didn't even had more time to think about it. A flash happend and you had your eyes shut. Your vibranium arm was stuck into something but not for long, whatever your arm was in was ripping and flew down with you. You could hear yells and cursing and then you fell on the ground. Well, not ground but on wood? You heard it crack underneath you and you thought you had fallen through the floor. Something is strange here, you didn't hear any cars, you didn't hear airplanes and you certainly didn't smell the fumes. You sniffed again, and you regconised it, it was salty and now your ears heard the soft waves of the ocean. You were on the ocean, you cracked one eye open and right in your face was a small man with dirt on his cheeks and wearing a mullet. ''Witch! A witch is on our ship!'' Fuck.

Dancing With A Stranger Part Three
Part One Part Two
Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz×Fem!Reader
Summary: The boy that you have had a crush on since middle school, doesn't seem to be the same person that you had learned to love. He was one of your best friends, and now he just seemed like a stranger you pass on the streets. 
Word Count: 1,087
Warnings: None
Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had
I said too much to ever take it back
Scared I'll never find something as good
And would I even know it if I could?
From the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough?
Or would I still be wondering?
 Days seemed to go on with their normal pattern, but one day, everything seemed to shift. It all seemed to be the day that Samantha LaRusso started a scene in the cafeteria, and Miguel jumped in and caused a big fight. It was an amazing fight to watch, you couldn't deny that, but you also saw the difference in Eli, and how he was acting differently, it was in fact something you noticed before the fight had even happened. You tried to slightly hint at the subject, to see if he would talk about it, but nothing ever came out of it. 
It had only been a day or two since the fight when you had to leave school for the remainder of the week. Your grandmother had gotten sick, so you and your family went to visit her, just in case she wasn't to recover this time. You were lucky enough not to have to get on a plan to see this one, because jet lag always seemed to kick your butt. The drive was still a killer to your body, and you needed a day break when you and your family returned home. Although you were super excited to see Eli, since he seemed better, or atleast over text message, he seemed better. Something that you learned that while you were away, Eli had actually joined Miguel's karate dojo. That news actually shocked you, it wasn't more that Eli had joined, because he had talked about it a few times. It was the fact that Demetri had joined as well, but he didn't come back for a second class as Aisha had told you, and that sounded more like Demetri to you. 
Sunday came, and you had made plans with Eli, so you were going to meet him at his house for the two of you to go out. He had told you he had something he wanted to show you, which only caused you to be more excited. It seemed like once you didn't have to fight for your boyfriend's attention and he was taking the step to plan things to do with you. It made you feel like he was ready to take the next step, and go public, because you wanted to tell the world that you were with him, you felt like you loved him, and hoped that he shared the same feeling. It was strange through the two of you had yet to share a real kiss, and you knew the reasoning, but that still didn't change how you felt about him, and how those feelings grew stronger each day. 
Getting in your car, the drive to Eli's house seemed to take forever, and like the traffic would never end. You felt overjoyed once pulling into the driveway, but that emotion was soon taken over by confusion. The person that walked out the front door looked like your boyfriend, but a completely different person at the same time. The normal sweater he wore was replaced with a tee-shirt and a zip-up jacket. His hair was now a large mohawk with blue tips. It was almost like a complete stranger, but you hoped that it was the Eli you knew. 
"You changed your hair while I was away." You spoke as soon as he sat down, trying to find a good way to break the ice. "What else did I miss?" You asked with a soft chuckle, causing him to softly smile at you. 
"Found a new thing of confidence." He spoke very proud and you couldn't help but smile at him. 
"That's wonderful Eli." You smiled at him as you took one of his hands and held it in yours. 
"It's Hawk now." He corrected you and you gave off a confused look. "I'm going by a new name for the new look." You softly nodded your head before placing your eyes back onto the road.
"So, what did you have planned for us today?" You questioned because you had no clue what he was planning to do or what he had even planned to do. 
 "If you let me drive, it'll be the surprise I want it to be." You let out a small laugh before rolling your eyes. 
"As long as you promise not to wreck my car." You let out a small laugh before pulling over so the two of you could switch seats. 
"Don't worry sweetheart, I've been practicing." Eli joked with a smirk and a wink before taking off down the road. "Just know that you're gonna love it, I've been planning this all week." You give off a small smile before getting out your phone and taking a quick picture of your boyfriend. "What are you doing?" He questioned with a laugh and you smiled over at him as you lowered the phone. 
"Making memories." You laughed with a bright smile, earning another eye roll from Eli who also let out a small chuckle to go with it. "I just also need to prove you can drive, and just in case I can't get you to do it again." You smiled with a laugh. 
"You act like I'm gonna crash the car, I just want to point out that I am actually an amazing driver." Eli defended himself and you let out a laugh, since this was the first time seeing him drive. 
It felt strange, it was like you were meeting a whole new person. You weren't going to question his actions, because he seemed happy, and that's all you want. It was a weird feeling that you couldn't get passed, but you knew that you would have to. This person in front of you, this stranger, he was your boyfriend, and somewhere he had to be the same person. The person who you would sneak cheek kissed. The person who you would pout until you got cuddles for. The person who's hugs were the only thing that made you feel better when nothing else would. 
You spent the rest of the car trip, trying to push the feeling away and just be happy about your date. You sang along to the radio and danced in your seat. You took selfies and made sure to get Eli in the background, just because you knew you would be able to see the funny faces he was making in the background. This felt like the boyfriend you knew, the supportive boyfriend of all your craziness. Maybe this new change of his won't be that bad.

What if there was a mall based episode of pokemon adventures?
Ps: im on limited juice on what exactly happened after the episode of "practically pikachu" so if anything seemed off, thats why. I can only have so much spoilers.
This is a really REALLY long post, i did my best and added some wholesome satogou moments cause why not. I hope you enjoy ^.^
!!!!!SPOILER WARNING BTW!!!!!!! If that wasn't obvious.
.....(I can't do the read more thing on mobile, so stick with me here.)
So the Professor finds out about some mysterious instances of this shopping district being haunted or constantly full of mischief. So of course he sends Gou and Ash to check it out. Of course Koharu/chloe ends up tagging along with her pokemon, out of curiostiy. Of course something is seemingly following them from behind, and you hear a cute little giggle.
At first, its all nice and fun. They go sight seeing, getting a bit distracted here and there. Gou and koharu do a bit of dress up, and Ash is stuck having to be refferee on who dressed up better. You get some cute satogou moments, and some wholesome koharu and gou rivalry. Before....
The lights start to flicker..
And things go south.
See, before they got to the mall, there was a warning the Professor gave them before the went on their journey. The mall had been abandoned not to long ago, as Pokemon have been infesting it and taking over. Poison types, gost types, what ever dangers you could think of. It used to be very popular, attracting all kinds of mons and trainers from across the globe. Sadly, it had to shut down.
He told them to be careful, and stay on their guard. They did the complete opposite of that, and got distracted.
The light shuts down, and their in complete darkness. Bit of twist, but Koharu brings out a flashlight, then makes a sly remark on how reckless the two are getting. Followed by a slightly agitated gou, though ash doesn't seem to mind. Instead he focuses on another thing.
Wheres.. Pikachu?
Actually... Where is all of their pokemon?
Ash makes a slightly panicked remark about this... Slightly... PanicKEd.. ReSpoNse.. Then everyone starts to freak out. Then the lights suddenly turn on and everywhere around them seems like a battle field. Clothing racks are rolled over, there's some string from some bug pokemon, lying around and some other attack residues from not only their pokemon, but possibly other poison, or dark types. if the situation couldn't get bad enough.
They call out their pokemon names to no evail. The mall is big, even with the 3 of them, they cant possibly cover all the ground. They've only explored basically half of the entire mall.. Or atleast half of what they thought was the entire mall.
Gou gets a bit pessimistic, worrying if they where taken by some baddies like team rocket, or hurt, mabye even kidnapped!! While ash is a bit optimistic, saying they probably got away, or are off fighting them now, and winning!
Koharu though.. Shes not focused on any of that. The patterns of pokemon attack residue.. Shows a winding trail leading off into the bigger part of the mall. Making her even more curious than before..
She turns around to she ash and gou sending out their pokemon from their pokeball, luckily, who ever this was didn't think to take those. Gou explains that the mall is big, and they need as much help as they can get.
So for awhile, we see interactions with their pokemon, looking around, in union or in chaos. Slowly exploring the rest of the mall.
But.. Never once, do we stop seeing all these things happen, in someone elses pov....
We see things from the ground floor, behind clothes, in the ceiling... Anywhere.
Every now and then, we get a faint giggle.. Usually when gou is on screen.
At this point they scaled almost the entire mall. Every now and then finding little things. Nothing to eventful. But no matter what, it all keeps leading then to the same point.
Some random door that says "Antiques" on it, in this freakishly terrifying place. The area is the most rusted, old, and overall creepy place. Inside theres smashed pots and this place has alot of scratch marks and decay. The mall may be abandoned, but not for a very long time. This place looks like it has been there for decades, as if it didn't belong there. You could see a lot of struggle, with some old scratch marks and some strangely.. Fresh ones.
Everyone's tired, and worried, and a bit frightened. Though koharu.. She seems more than excited, it wss her own little adventure. It was nice. Of course, she still worried for her poor yamper.. But she couldn't help but be a bit excited too.
During the whole montage, they'd find some fur from pickachu, yamper or eevee. Sometimes left over pokefood or some old remains of what looks to be pokemon battles. Sometimes they saw some old pokeball, abandoned or even smashed. And even noticed some of the Pokemon that had been watching them through cracks or corners, or under floorboards.
Ash and gou finally catch up to koharu, who has been waiting for them in this creepy antique store. Aimlessly wandering about, searching the place. With the whole gang reunited, they discuss what they found, with koharu piecing it togther.
It seems this antique store looked to be the meeting place for who ever stole their pokemon. They show koharu some of the pokeballs they found lying about, some customized, broken and old. None of them have no strange brandings like "R" on it. Meaning people had their pokemon taken, but not by our common baddies. They found some evidence of pokemon battles, some of the tracks still fresh. Meaning they just left recently, probably during when they got here. That would explain why they kept feeling like they where being followed. They're probably all hiding.
But that doesn't explain why they'd take their pokemon or why it lead them in the antique store of all places. Ash suggests that they should look around here too, find some secret lever or something. Goh agrees, but dismisses the thought that someone would have a secret lever in a antique portion of the mall, then again.. Who has an antique store in a mall??
While they're searching for hidden compartments,
They hear a quick "PIKAA!!" Following a loud bang noise. Sending them all to a panic. Ash locates the sound, and moves one of the shelves. Surprise, Surprise, its a secret compartment. Its pitch black and you can't see a thing. Before ash can jump head first into whatever is happening down there, gou catches him. Followed by koharu, taking out that trusty flashlight, and beaming the light on the creepy old stairs. Seemingly going no where but down.
They quickly and carefully descend the stairs, though their all trying to act brave to lift up on another, you can tell everyone is absolutely terrified.
Then they find a light, like an entrance to some room. The hallway was dim and you could see pipes and some garbage, puddles, e.c.t. Gou runs towards the persumed, but ash catches him. He almost fell into a hole, without Realizing it. Koharu goes infront of gou, with the flashlight beaming infront of her.
Cut to a scene of pikachu. He's charging up a weak electric attack, and looks pretty beaten up. So does the rest of the Pokemon. Though, he is doing his best. The basement is pretty big, but its old. Theres some steel pipes that are broken and bent, scratches and marks everywhere on the wall. Its dark, with only a few lights, struggling to illuminate the room.
You can't tell how many pokemon are there, but there are many glowing eyes all around. There are many different kinds of pokemon. Seemingly coming from all different regions too. They don't seem freindly.
Eevee starts to yell out, angered and fustreated. To their suprising, a quick "umberon~" came rom the darkness.
You can see its shiny yellow rings, glowing in the darkness. It yells back at eevee, hitting the ground over and over with its tiny paws. As if it was trying to prove a point, trying to get eevee to fight like their pikachu did. Taunting them.
The umberon wears some kingly robe it got from a costume part of the mall, presumably the halloween section. Category: medieval.
Yamper could see eevee's eagerness to fight, so he lets out a bark of concern. He's huddled next to pikachu, who still wants to keep going. Determined, to stop them.
Whenever eevee hesitates to attack, umberon lets out a disappointed purr, and attacks them with a weak attack, but it stings either way. It wants a fair fight afterrall.
This was an insult to them. A fellow umberon., using smaller pokemon to rank them up, forcing them to train with them, untill they tire out. All these pokemon henchmons had some kind of scar, or evidence of training. Even the umberon had one. Most of them evolved, seemingly living in the mall, as some are wearing human items like sunglasses, or badazzled items too look cooler.
Then they hear a quick "EEVEE! WHERE'D YOU GO?!" And "PIKACHU! ARE YOU GUYS ALRIGHT?!"
They look back to see its their trainers! And gou, all rushing towards them. Immediately going into the room to protect them. Along with their summoned pokemon charging up their attacks as well.
Seeing this, umberon is pissed. You can see an onslaught of pokemon, who look just as mad. They where crossing their turf, they had to get out.
Umberon curls into the darkness.. Slowly back away from them, in silence.
Untill a tiny, soft. "Umberon" comes out of its mouth and..
They all start to attack, left, right and center. The whole team is surronded. All the pokemon are uncoordinated, but tankish, so they're pretty easy to take down, but leaves you pretty damaged in the long run.
Eventually, they get rid of most of them. Leaving 5 remaining pokemon left. These five being the strongest out of every pokemon and the biggest. Seemingly been in charge for a long time. Basically, its the boss fight.
The pokemon tired them out, and theres not much they can do at this point. Of course they fight, but get taken down, one by one, with ease.
Leading to the grand finale. Everyones on their knees, but still staying strong.
Umberon and its team start to charge this giant attack, thats going blast them into bits and peices.
They charge the attack, for longer and longer and longer. Getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger untill it basically becomes a giant wall. Then they release it. Going full blast at not only the entire team, but the Pokemon behind them that attacked them as well.
The was no where to go.
Pokemon where behind them, and infront.
What do you do then?
Just take it?
Like that?
...
Everyone throws their hand infront of their faces. Away from this giant charge attack, heading towards them in what seems to be slow motion. Some pokemon are running away, others are just watching this happen.
Its a pretty big basement.
Pretty dangerous basement too.
....
Gou looks back for a split second.
And a familiar sound plays out.
A tiny..
little..
giggle.
And then it just stops.
The attack was stuck in place..
...
Then suddenly, behind them in the darkness...
From the entrance of where they came..
Glowing eyes emerge, with a silent.. "Mew!"
And the whole attack backfires onto the 5 pokemon with one, full, swoop.
The place collapses onto them. Knocking 4 pokemon unconscious, except for that..
That..
Umberon.
With the only expression on its face being absolute RAGE.
Everyone starts running out, a bunch of pokemon try to help move the 4 unconscious ones, and umberon runs in the opposite direction, into what might be their secret escape route. They look back, at the commotion.
The 3 little humans and their pokemon are running out, even picking up some of the pokemon, who attacked them, and helping them run away from the collapsing area.
Umberon sees this. But looks away. Muttering a "umber.." Before leaving. This wasn't the last of them.
Everyone safely makes it out of the mall, alive.
Everyone is tired, exhausted and hurt.
They look up to see the many battle scars of all the pokemon, who are just lying around, not knowing what to do anymore without a leader.
Some a bickering and arguing, some are confused and tired, others are just watching from afar.
Eeveee jumps out of koharu's hands, and onto some tall boxes and rocks lying about near he store. They yell out a "EEVEE!!" Which everyone quiets down immediately. They even stiffen up, as if they where trained to do that by the umberon. Which startles eevee and makes them feel uncomfortable.
Ash stands up, looking at his poor pikachu, for a bit. Its smiling, with its eyes closed. Ash gives them a concerned, but soft smile. He tells everyone that they should all go to a pokecenter, and get some rest. The pokemon try to argue, not wanting to go and to wait for their umberon, but they see eevee is following ash, and they end up following along.
Gou runs up to ash and softly pats ash's shoulder, and gives him a soft, but concerned look. Only followed by a smile. Then everyone starts following them to pokemon center.
It cuts to scene, where they show the pokemon center for a sky view. Its night time and everyone is tired. a bunch of the nurses and doctors are taking care of the many pokemon without question.
Ash is sitting there, next to his pikachu, with gou is standing right beside him, and koharu is somewhere off with her pokemon as well. They all have some bandages here and there, on their knees or hands, just watching as nurse joy takes care of pikachu.
She asks what the three of them had done to get not only so many injured pokemon, but get this pikachu in the state its in now.
They explained to the nurse about the whole incident, with this umberon and a giant battle in a basement, and a this abandoned pokemon infested mall. How the umberon acted and all the Pokemon who teamed up agasint them.
Nurse joy recognizes the umberon, to their suprise.
She explains its not the first time shes heard of this umberon. Apparently, its trainer had abandoned it when it was a little eevee. She said that they'd capture pokemon who they saw great potential and power in. One day, the eevee's win streak went away, losing many battles every single day. Thats when they abandoned them, or atleast, thats what they say.
Ash mutters a quick and angered response of why someone would do such a thing.
Nurse joy looks at ash and gou sadly, then returns back to what she was doing. She doesn't know why someone would do that. Though, she tells them she always used to see that same eevee in the pokecenter constantly. For some reason, the pokemon really loved their trainer, to the point of exhaustion. When it got abandoned, it probably took it personally. Who knows though, that umberon is quite the mystery. Some people even tried to catch it seeing how strong it was, but they'd never succeed.
She pauses what shes doing to ask if ash doesn't mind leaving his pikachu here for the night. Its pretty injured, and needs some rest. She wants to be able to take care of it, in case it needs extra care. She says he can see them tomorrow, as it might feel better by then.
He sadly agrees, and they go home for the night.
Here, we get a nice scene, just to calm things doen a bit. The 2 boys put on their cozy pajamas, and get ready to go to bed.
We see koharu in her bedroom, with her pjammas on, petting her yamper who has a cute little "get well soon!!" Sticker, stuck on his forehead, and he has his younger sticking out, as he sleeps. She doing one of those lo-fi girl poses, as she writes in her journal about her day, as a moonlight shines on her, through her window.
We see gou sleeping on the bottom bunk this time, since he's too tired to try to climb to the top. Ash isn't in bed though. He's looking out through the window of the room. With the moonlight coming through. He's tired and exhausted, but still worried for pikachu. Gou notices he's not in bed yet, asking if he's alright. Ash doesn't give a response, he just continues staring.
So gou walks up to him, and ash speaks a bit low. He wonders if pikachu is alright, and the umberon too. The umberon was hurt too, they could've helped it.
Gou looks at him, then out the window. "Sometimes you cant save everyone, and you cant help those that don't want to be helped."
He smiles brightly at ash. "Like catching pokemon!" Ash is confused, but he tries his best to understand. "Sometimes pokemon want to be caught, and some don't. All that matters is that you tried, right?"
Ash looks at gou, and smiles back. Then looks at the window, still smiling "Yeah, you're right.. Do you think pikachu will be okay though?"
Gou softly pats him on the back. He tries his best to comfort ash. "Yeah, i think so."
It goes quiet for a bit. And it zooms out as they both look out at the window.8
With that, it ends here.

this is slowly progressing to an unpleasant nightmare as chapters increase
I thought of naming it Existing By FAR (is the most _______ ever) now omit the parentheses and fill in the blanks with what you feel for each chapter i write. Like: Existing By FAR is the most horrifying thing ever. /hj
See i | See ii | See iii
No.
Just....no.
Chocolate buildings of varying kinds and designs towered over the sleeping cats lying on the ground that looks like the classic red and white checkered picnic blanket but it was the pattern of the planet's actual ground.
The sky above was filled with different colors of cotton candy which must be the equivalent of clouds that birds fly through, or in this case, gummy bears.
Yes. The gummy bears are flying. She, too, wishes to fly far faaaaar away.
.....
Is that a lollipop sun?
A faded image beyond the horizon caught her attention as she looked around.
Oh, would you look at that. Just like a mountain far from one's reach and is often a landscape view preserved in a picture be it through phone or photocard.
A strawberry fountain. A freaking strawberry fondue fou- whAT IS THIS%&^$#!?!?
No. Tired. She's too tired. Nope.
She went back inside on her way to become one with the bed.
"Wait, no! I swear, it's fine. Though it looks ridiculous-"
"Ridiculous?!" she shrieked, shifting from her prone position on the bed to look at the one who spoke, "Ridiculous, it's horrendous! Horrifying! No, no way. I'm not gonna process all that. Sorry, boy of my dreams. I'm gonna wake up, now."
Screw all signs of her actually having amnesia, she's getting out of here.
She tried opening her eyes to the real world, back to the bedroom, and wake up to the sound of the fan, quiet television in the living room, and the running washing machine outside since her mom would be doing the laundry early in the morning.
But no matter how hard she tried feeling that usually-easy-to-find line between fiction and reality...
Nothing.
She can't feel it.
She can't see it.
Nothing.
It's like trying to tug invisible curtain blinds only to find out that there's nothing to pull up. It's not there.
It's not.
She clutched onto the blanket, feeling its softness. Unless she ate something to make her hallucinate, or maybe there's a methane gas leak, the situation is somewhat clear to her.
This is real.
This is real.
So then why are there so many abominations outside?
Holograms? Virtual reality? Is this what they call The Matrix? She doesn't even know what that is!
"Just breathe," the boy said with a hint of distress though he was probably trying to calm her down. "It doesn't make sense but I promise, this is the truth. And you can be free to express your anger, excitement, sadness, anything! Just, please stay calm because.."
She has an idea of what this might be, without any digital devices or illusionment. But it wasn't an answer she was looking forward to.
"We....we're in another world."
"Come on, what the fuck."
Her parents would not like that she said that. But hey, she's done a fairly good job not cursing until now, hasn't she?
Still on the bed, she turned face up to lay on her back and covered her eyes, sighing from pure enervation.
For a few minutes, she laid there while the boy considerately waited. Or maybe he was getting annoyed but she gave up caring. She gave up thinking.
Her head usually filled with calculating thoughts now run blank. She should think about what her next move will be, but she feels empty. Drained. Laying down is so relieving, though. So she stayed like that. She'd stay like that forever, if she could.
......
Ugh, fine.
After a deep breath in and out, she sat up.
"What's your name?" she asked to the other person who had been leaning on the wall, hearing coldness in her voice that she hadn't meant to direct at him.
"...Would you like that in full name, first name, or nickname?" he softly responded.
"All of the above, please."
If she forgot a lot of things, she might as well know everything.
...
He looked sad.
"I'm..so sorry," she started. She hated being mad at others.
"I was rude. I..I didn't mean to be like this-"
"No! No, please. It's okay. I promise. Don't...don't worry."
He looks sadder now, but he managed to show a small smile.
"Zachary. Zachary Louis Dee. Of course, you can call me Zach, for short, like everyone else does but.....you call me Zed sometimes."
Seemingly shy, he rubbed the back of his neck.
Zed, huh? She would come up with that nickname. Z being the first letter of his first name, his last name starting with D, pronunciation of 'z' being 'zed' in some places, it was a lame attempt. That's a trademark of her naming style.
Unless it wasn't her who came up with it, otherwise she just insulted a random stranger.
Before she could ask, he – ....Zachary – continued to speak.
"I know it's sort of shocking and weird and just plenty but you'll be at peace to where we'll be heading. It's calmer there, with way less sugar and.....dead cats."
What.
Eyes wide, she looked at him demanding a take-back because no, she was NOT going to accept that those cats were dead.
"Ther- What are you- Oh."
'Oh' indeed.
Panic made its way to be clear in his eyes, or atleast she thought so.
"I-I mean they're not dead dead. They're dead but it's not bad like death. They're zombies, but they don't bite. I MEAN-"
"Is it some sort of a normal or natural phenomenon in this world?"
Zachary looked like he wanted to explain all of it.
"Y-yes...They-they're meow zombies-"
"Okay, sorry. When we get to the place, can I just read a book about it?"
She's not gonna process anything without a book.
"Of course," he said with the knowing voice like before, back when he questioned her memory. Except now, it's in a lighter tone. Like a friend who understands why their companion would want a book instead of a discussion.
Zach made his way to the door and for the second time, he held the knob. This time, he made sure.
"Are you ready?" he asked as if they'll be going to battle.
"Just open it," she replied with a chuckle.
It's been a while since she's felt this light.

Yashahime Trailer Analysis - Full Breakdown + Theories
Video -
https://youtu.be/ebFV15yPO6U
The Yashahime - Princess Half-Demon Official Trailer came out August 7th Japan Time like Kaoru Wada had teased for us on the Otakon Livestream. Here we will read off of what was posted on the VIZ Media Official Website "The anime’s been announced, but now you can sink your canines into some more juicy tidbits about the show. The anime stars Towa and Setsuna, the twin daughters of Sesshomaru who get separated in a forest fire. Towa ends up in modern times and is raised by Sota Higurashi, Kagome’s little brother. Ten years later, they are reunited, but Setsuna is a demon slayer with no memories of her sister. Joined by Moroha, Inuyasha and Kagome’s daughter, they set off on an adventure to regain their missing past." https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/yashahime-princess-half-demon-arrives-in-october You guys will be able to watch Yashahime on VIZ Media's Website and AnimeLab.com when it's released.
First Impressions - @officialkagome​ : “I can tell the Rumiko has a lot of influence in the writing because key points and moments are conveyed just as they were in the Final Act. I believe it's going to be condensed like in the Final Act, but maybe only at first. Focusing on the girls but still including that bonus chapter. I definitely appreciate the animation, it's very aesthetically pleasing.”
Yes, the animation is being directed by the same person who did The Final Act, Sachiya. They also were the same person that did the Adult SessRin artwork that sold it on a calender. Which I actually own. I'm glad for them to return and do the animation. As it makes sense in the continuity. The animation in fact looks even improved further than what we had since the Final Act! Definitely one of my favorite animation directors next to Kumiko.
As I mentioned in my previous video, I talked about the extra chapter "Since Then" that took place after The Final Act. It was made because of the Tsunami that happened in Japan many years ago. A long time ago, I also wrote a post saying if we continued to show our support for the official streams on VIZ Media's website and still showed interest in the series that they would make this into an episode. Back in 2018 Anime Boston it was hinted about the staff wanting to have Rumiko allowed them to make more anime if we continued to show interest. When we got ahold of the scans for the AniMage and AniMedia magazine scans we could confirm that they have been talking about a sequel since the ending of The Final Act.
In the InuYasha Special Chapter 559 "Since Then" Kagome was living in the feudal era with InuYasha for six months. We have a half year time skip. Life in the Feudal Era so far had been peaceful. InuYasha and Miroku were tracking minor youkai that was released from a seal by a landslide, and discover that the demon actually was originally sealed away by Kikyou shortly before she met InuYasha. So we can say over atleast 53 years ago. The youkai is called Ne no Kubi or Root Head in the official VIZ Media subtitles for the trailer - and it was seeking the Shikon no Tama, not realizing it is already destroyed due to being sealed away for so long. Ne no Kubi attacks Kagome, because she clearly looks like Kikyou, but she wounds its head with a sacred arrow and InuYasha kills it with Tessaiga. During it Sesshoumaru appears to protect the village because Rin is there. We can see shots during the trailer that all take place here from this chapter.
For all those Westerners out their that use the term "canon", yes Yashahime is in Fact "canon" to the original timeline continuity. Rumiko Takahashi has been confirmed to have written the foundation story for Yashahime, and has been working closely over the scripts with Sumisawa. It is officially licensed and in no where near being a fanfiction. Remember, canon was a term that was invented by Westeners because of Christianity. Regardless, this sequel is happening. I have so much to talk about this new trailer that it feels like even after I'm done with this video, more ideas are still going to keep popping up in my head.
Towa is seen fighting another school student. She's known for her martial arts. She kicks this guy in the head. She says "You know, you should take my advice and let me go." Talking about her possible abduction. "Things won't be so hot when my friends get here." I think she's talking to the man in the Feudal Era from the first trailer. That's when Moroha and Setsuna break into save Towa. Then it's talking about Root Head from Chapter 559. However says "Root Head was a demon slain by InuYasha and his friends." I don't know if she's talking after it was slain. But Root Head was in fact originally sealed by Kikyou before she met InuYasha. A possible change or retcon from the Manga considering Rumiko's involvement in this. Sesshoumaru is then saying the same lines that he says from the manga "Root head... A worthless piece of vermin. Except..." If we reference the manga he's actually supposed to say Except, and then "It's too persistent."
Root Head gained the powers of the Tree of Ages (Goshinboku). This is the same Goshiboku that InuYasha was sealed on, seeing the arrow mark. If we slow down this footage you can tell that Roothead is growing in the roots of the Goshinboku. It created a passage from the Feudal Era to present day. Sucked through that passage, Towa was torn from her twin sister, Setsuna, and thrown into the present day.
But I think that is talking about AFTER Root head was slain again from it reawakening after the landslide. My guess is that IF everything does continue on the manga like normal from Chapter 559. But during the time it was reawakened it had already made a portal through a tree tunnel like it describes as in Towa's translated description that a fire happens, and everyone scatters. Even during the livestream from Otakon Kaoru Wada mentioned the fire. Towa goes to escape from the fire and finds that specific portal that sends her to the modern era. Unless they want to push the time skip further than 6 months allowing them time to have the kids. Towa is in Reiwa period, that means it's either 2019 or further making it overall a 20 year time skip since chapter 559. I expect that they have kids in a six year time skip that would make sense since they are all 14. The Tree tunnel is described in Towa's description, that means that we pretty much have a second Well. Considering the well was already made from the same type of wood as the Goshinboku was as it was talked about in the first movie. Now imagine if we had three different eras or even that certain events had changed because of this.
Here we see an Adult Souta and 4 year old Towa when he found her in the Modern Era. They're talking in front of the Sacred Tree. Towa's robe pattern is clearly based on Sesshoumaru's belt.
Tumblr media
It looks like Souta wanted to pat Towa on the head, but Towa was scared - Then we see Towa brushing her teeth and Souta's daughter. Who looks strikingly similiar to Hitomi. I hope he married her.
Ten years have passed since the Higurashi family took Towa in. It shows Towa talking to Souta's Daughter in front of the tree. In the next shot, she's wiping the blade from her sword. In the narration Towa says "Don't worry! I can handle this." It shows Towa looking up from the original Trailer, where she's abducted. Wearing that patterned robe and the hint of the Lily flowers in the background. She says "Your big sister's pretty strong!" I think she's talking to Souta's daughter as if referencing herself. She picks up her History book and winks. Now it shows Setsuna and Moroha fighting by a waterfall. This is definitely reminding me of some InuYasha VS Sesshoumaru scenes from the past. "My name is Setsuna. I have nothing more to tell you..." "And the reason you die here." Setsuna's eye glows similar to InuYasha's when they found out he had the black pearl inside his right eye that lead to the Inu no Taishou's grave. Everyone has been trying to figure out if there is a special thing showing in her eye. I'm not so sure but I gave it a try as well. I looked at a few pictures of the gravesite and this one seemed to be the best one.
Tumblr media
Though I am skeptical of this. Hosenki's son explained it would take roughly 100 years for him to master the process of making one. When InuYasha had returned to his father's grave for the second time, the pearl was somehow able to give him visions of his troubled past as a way to warn him that he wasn't supposed to be there a second time. Now if we think about it, remember how Setsuna has problems with her memories? Maybe in this moment it is a black pearl, and it's showing her flashbacks helping her remember or perhaps she was given an imperfect black pearl that is causing her memory loss.
Moroha is seen sitting down picking her ear. "With this rouge, I become Beniyasha, Destroyer of Lands!" Moroha has her bow, a good nod to her mother Kagome. "Tremble before the bloodthirstydawn!" Now the rouge doesn't always have to mean lipstick, it depends on the context on which it's taken. The rouge could also mean red, the red clothing that she's wearing. If she is going to be wearing lipstick, it would be cool if they somehow were able to magically bring back the lipstick that was once Izayoi's that was given to Kikyou. I know it was destroyed, but you never know. I like the idea of her having InuYasha and Kagome's locket too from the second movie. In the past I always had the idea of their child having that locket. Maybe she's heard about InuYasha as a story or legend, and is calling him "Beniyasha". So she's pretending to be him in a way, along with the bow on her head representing ears like him.
It shows Towa in the modern era, fighting some guys. She's wearing something on trapped onto her back. Could it be her sword, or something else? My wife mentioned that in Japan, open carry of swords is legal.  So I went to double check.
Tumblr media
Yes, this is definitely got to be her sword and that she is wearing a sword bag. It has yellow tassels.
Tumblr media
I also noticed that there is a symbol at the bottom of her sword bag. It looks like it could be a pinwheel or the Kagome symbol. There are two different versions of the Kagome symbol. 6 pointed and 8 pointed.
"A new wind blows into the Feudal Era." We can see the Dragon symbol on Moroha's sword even more closely. The Dragon is wrapped around an arrow. During the Otakon Live stream Kaoru Wada stated that all three of the girls are the half-demon princesses. Meaning that Moroha would still be called a half-demon regardless of having less demon blood percentage especially during that era. "The Half Demon Princesses are here!"  Moroha is fighting a Mistress Centipede. Is this the same Mistress Centipede from the beginning of InuYasha, that corpse was already in the well? If we remember, Sango has fought Centipede demons before but they weren't a Mistress Centipede. She would be killed for the third time. The Mistress Centipede shown in the trailer has three eyes, while the original one has two.
Tumblr media
It shows Hisui, Sango and Miroku's son in his demon slayer armor while riding Kirara. Throwing Hiraikotsu! One thing that stood out to me was the prayer beads around his left arm.
Tumblr media
I don't think he has Wind Tunnel but it seems to be a reference to his father Miroku. Considering Miroku has given Kagome prayer beads to wear before. Maybe even Hisui has spiritual powers as well. It also appears that he has Sango's sword as well!
Tumblr media
Kohaku, all grown up and he's exactly how I imagined him. It seems like he has a scar on his nose. Maybe it's from wearing his demon slayer mask or from getting cut in a battle. He has the weapon he gets from Toutousai in the last episode of the Final Act. Moroha and Setsuna are battling. Could this be the same waterfall that Kikyou bathed at?
Tumblr media
Moroha and Setsuna running off, Towa watching them. A guy knocked out in the background, Spider Lily pattern on the backwall, and a knocked out guy next to where the wall was bashed in. Just like how it was in the first trailer we were shown on the Otakon Live Stream.
Finally, Moroha is using her bow and yes she indeed has priestess spiritual powers like Kagome does! It looks like she's still fighting Mistress Centipede as you can see in the background. The attack is called "Heavenly Arrow Barrage". Similar name to InuYasha's Adamant Barrage.
It shows Setsuna using her Naginata. The Naginata is the weapon that can control wind as stated in her profile when her colors were announced! Much like InuYasha's Bakuryuha, or Kouga's Cyclone. It also reminds me of Sesshoumaru when he was fighting InuYasha inside the Black Pearl at the Inu No Taishou's Grave.
Feudal Fairytale - Yashahime Princess Half-Demon Towa takes out her sword and charges while saying "Setsuna! I'll save you!" Yashahime - Coming this October. October 3rd 2020
When we look at the image that came with the announcement. A few things caught my eye, Kagome and Rin are not seen in the picture. Sesshoumaru and InuYasha are both by the Sacred Tree. Speculating that maybe they're trapped in another dimension, or between times since Root Head was able to take the Goshinboku's power. I wonder if something like this happens, could this give Kagome the ability to not age? I'm still for my theory that she shouldn't age because she wasn't born yet, the same way her items were unaffected by Kaguya in the second movie when she froze time. People think InuYasha is holding something, no that is his forelocks and the shading on the tree. No, there is no secret image in Towa's blue sword attack. But hey we get a better look at Hisui's prayer beads on his arm.
Tumblr media
There is a new character, everyone speculates to be Shippou and unsure of the character's gender. Looking at the HD picture.
Tumblr media
The character has green eyes, dark red hair and purple eyeshadow. It sort of reminds me of Shippou or Ayame's possible child with Kouga. I would have said it was Takechiyo in a human form since Raccoons and Foxes are known to shape shift. But Takechiyo has blue eyes. It's not Jinenji, has blue eyes - Though I think it could be a new character. Could be boy or girl. Determining their gender is something I'm on the fence about atleast by the physical sight of it. Their body seems flat and rugged with torn sleeves, but wearing makeup. There's alot of males who wear makeup in InuYasha. Their attire also seems to be the kind that is most commonly worn by males. But Towa also is another character that dresses male. This character clearly has a weapon. More than likely a sword. Something that's interesting about this picture is that Towa's sword is shaped like Tessaiga in the picture when she's doing her special attack. It zig zags upward like a staircase into the sky - as if representing time passed. You notice it when you realize the other characters are actually not standing on something.
Seems like we are all looking forward to October 3rd for the airing of Yashahime.  If you want to see more posts about Official InuYasha News, Artworks, Merchandise, my own personal views and analysis on the series - Be sure to subscribe.

I guess this is my life now (Dead by Daylight Fanfic)
I’m not dead, I swear. I just lost interest in Tumblr for a long time, but I might return on a semi-permanent basis. 
I found joy in writing again, so enjoy this small piece I created!
Warnings: Mention of alcohol
You don't remember much of your former life before the Trials. You have some glimps of a small house in a suburban neighbourhood. Was it yours, or maybe your family? Did you even have a family? Was the memory even real, or did that Thing put it in your head? A false glimmer of something happy? A comfort in this eternal Darkness? Who knows? You sure didn't. You didn't know much except that you needed to survive the Trials. They would happen once or twice a day, depending on what that Thing was up for. One thing was certain; You would be sacrificed most of the time.
That Thing, otherwise known as The Entity, ruled this realm. Or... Was it even a realm? Was this the afterlife? You wouldn't know, but you would believe those who were here before you. A gang of people, everyone stolen by the Entity, all from different places of the planet, maybe even different time-periods. They would tell you to not worry about anything. You would never die here, never feel hunger or feel the need to sleep. The quicker you became relaxed, the better it would be for you. "Don't let your guard down" they'd say. "But come to terms with you never leaving this place".  
The days were short and nights long. It was torture, so you would find a way to make the days go by. Is there even days here? Maybe the Entity just resets everything back to square one and it repeats itself over and over again. You didn't know, nor did you care. You were here, no way out. You were stuck here for all of eternity.
Whenever you were lucky enough to not be in a Trial you would wander the Realm. Get your mind off of things, maybe think of something else than being chased by a madman with a machette. Or chainsaw. Or shocktreatment... Not to worry about being sacrificed to the Entity. Your shoulder was numb after all the hookings. The hooking, feeling the blood run down your body was far too familiar to you now. But it was the Darkness that scared you. You were scared this was the last time you'd see it, feel it... Last time you'd take a breath. You shake the thoughts off of your mind for now. You wanted to clear your mind, not make it worse.
The Entity had opened a new doorway, a new place to be chased and sacrificed. The dusty worndown sign said "Glenvale". It looked like a old western town, dusty and abandoned. Anything left alive was a couple of crows and volchures. Old carriges were scattered around the streets, some watering trough was placed outside the saloon. The saloon was dusty like everything else, but the piano kept playing this tune. It made you uneasy, but it didn't bother you too much. The bar had some old bottles in the shelves, and the tables were barely standing. It reminded you of those old Western Cowboy movies. Movies... You remember movies. You would watch them every hour of the day if given the chance. You remember the screen, but not any faces. The actors were almost sensored from your mind, but not the scenery. The scenery plays so cleary in your head. Big cities, far away planets, the deep seas.
Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard footsteps. Heavy footsteps, rythmic and determend footsteps approached the saloon quickly. You shook the feeling of feeling secure out of your mind as your Survivor-instincts kicked in. You instantly hid behind the bar, hoping whoever was approaching didn't see you. You held your breath as you heard the creaking of the floorboards getting closer. You heard a loud thud and a groan followed by a chair by the bar creak. Someone was sitting by the bar. You cursed in your mind, regretting coming here. Now you were sure to die, you just knew it. You were sweating, shaking, but holding your breath. You had to get out without being seen.
You tilted your head back looking up. You saw a hat on the bar, a hat way to familiar. It belonged to the new Killer. We called him the Deathslinger. The  harpoongun must have been the thud you heard. But you didn't see the Killer, but you heard him. His breathing was deep and hoarse, but something was different. It sounded... tired? Exhausted?
You couldn't think about this, you had to get away!
You started to crawl on all four, being cautious with every move to not make a sound.
You made your way forward, slowly and silently.
Movement behind you!
You stop breathing and stop dead in your tracks, sweat dripping down your forhead down to the floorboards under you.
You slowly turn your head to see if the Killer was watching you. To your relief he was only stretching over the bar to grab one of the bottles. You let out the smallest sigh and keep crawling your way to the doors leading out of the saloon.
Creak
A lose floorboard. You stop once again, listening for movement. Nothing. It was dead silent. No movement, no...breathing. You slowly turn around to be face to face with the Killer. He must have seen you as he reached for the alcohol. You turn pale, you shake uncontrollably and your breath is panicked. You open your mouth ready to let out a shocked shriek.
The Killers hand covers your mouth, his face not changing expression. You're panicking even more, you grab his forearm and try to yanking it away. But he was too strong, and you knew it. This is it, you thought. This is how you die; in the hands of a Killer, literally.
"The hell you doin' here, girl?" He asked in a strict voice. "You ain't supposed to be 'ere." He let go of your mouth, but you didn't finish your shriek. You took a deep breath, relaxing your body and whiping the sweat off your face with the sleeve of your dirty and worn sweatshirt.
"I-I-I just wanted to-to-to..." You manage to stutter out a few words before he cuts you off, much angrier this time.
"Entity got yer tongue? Whatchu want 'ere, huh? Came 'ere to torment me more?"
Torment? The Killer? You slowly get on your feet, not taking your eyes off the Killers face. His face didn't look that  damaged here. Maybe the Entity does something to the Killers to make them look scarier. His eyes weren't white or glowing, they were... Blue, atleast something close to it. His scar covering half of his face in the Trials is nothing but a mark here. He looked like a human here.
"Tormen---Torment you?! You're the one hooking us! Besides, I just wanted to clear my head! It's not against the rules to wander!" You protest, crossing your arms to make your point. The Killer just waves his hand at you, gesturing for you to leave.
"Bah! I ain't got time for melodrama. girl. Either ya 'ave a drink with me or ya get the fuck out." He said in a tired manner, sitting down at the bar again.
Have a drink with the Killer? You're not sure if he's joking or not, but he's not chasing you.
He gestured for you to sit in the chair next to him.
"Ya comin' or what?" he asked, pouring two glasses with... something. The label was so faded you couldn't even see the color of the liquid inside. But by the looks of what was in the glass, it was old.
"Don't...you want to kill me?" You ask carefully. You were confused to say the least. Why on Earth would a Killer want to have a drink with a Survivor?
"I ain't gonna kill ya, don't ya worry. I just want some company, that's all." he shrugged, taking a sip from his drink. With a grimace on his face, he swallowed the liquid, shaking his head.
"Fucking 'ell, tastes like shit. But it calms the nerves, ya know?" He turned his gaze torwards you, racing his glass.
"It ain't poison, atleast not the deadly one." he chuckles. "Come on, humor me, would ya?".
You didn't like the idea of drinking with a Killer, but it was better than nothing. You made your way to the chair next to him, quickly grabbing the glass with the mysterious liquid. One quick smell of it made you gag, but you didn't want to offend the man who just offered you a drink. And he spared your life, who knows what he would do if you refused? You drink the liquid, forcing it down your throat. You cough, covering your mouth as you didn't want it in return. The Killer laughs, looking at you.
"As I said, it ain't the best. But ya'll get used to it. Ya can't be a beggar here, girl." He shrugged, finishing his drink. You swirl your glass, looking at the patterns in the liquids left by you turning the glass.
"Y/N." You said, giving him a crooked smile. "My name is Y/N." The Killer turns to you, raising his glass.
"Charmed. Ya'll call me Deathslinger, but my real name is Caleb. Caleb Quinn. Ya call me what ya want.".
The both of you clinked your glass, smiling at eachother.

AUGUSTUS ABBOTT is TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OLD and a STORE ASSISTANT & MUSIC TEACHER in CONCORDIA & PLUNKETT MUSCIAL INSTRUMENTS at CARKITT MARKET. He looks remarkably like CHARLIE ROWE and considers himself NEUTRAL. He is currently TAKEN.
→ OVERVIEW:
Modest and thoughtful, Augustus Abbott dwells in the sung harmonies of Fleetwood Mac songs and the wishful words of romantic poetry. Finding that every moment and feeling can be evoked by a great melody. Growing up in Godric’s Hollow, Augustus still associates his time there with loneliness. Grey and isolated, the young boy played the part of being a member of the Pure-Blooded twenty eight. Following along with his parents as they tried to fit into society, they lived lavishly because that was what was deemed normative. Days spent parading their son around like a token of their lineage and homage to traditions. However nights played a different narrative. Left hiding away, silent in his room, ears ringing as he was faced with the burden of listening to his parents quarrel in every room of the house, Gus could never remember a time when they had ever been content with one another. He’d look at old photographs and wondered how two people could ever choose to be this unhappy. It wasn’t until they relocated to Ireland, County Wicklow, that colour came into his life. No longer surrounded by grey cold buildings, green encapsulated them. The smell of the sea air filled his lungs and gave him a new lease on life. Granted at first he was skeptical. Uprooting meant leaving the one friend he did have - ABIGAIL FERNSBY - behind, though they had met through status, it didn’t mean he valued her kindness any less.
It wasn’t until Gus met the MacMillan family that he really saw the possibilities of what life could hold. Another Pureblood family living across the field from their manor home, the quaint cottage was always filled with so much life it took Gus aback at first. Remembering vividly sitting perched on the edge of the kitchen stool silence and reserved as he’d always been taught to be, then one by one with each child bonding into the kitchen madness unfolded around him. Personalities bouncing off the walls like electricity, it was a vibrancy that was contagious. One he found particularly captivating was SAOIRSE MACMILLAN. Wild blonde locks curled around a scrunched face as she debated her opinion to the youngest ORLAITH, watched by MARIANNE and FIONN as they pondered over which of their siblings was the most stubborn. It was Sersh that noticed him first and offered one of the orange slices clutched in her ink stained palm. With a single gesture Gus couldn’t have predicted the adventures that would unfold. The pair quickly became inseparable, the spirited girl brought colour into his life. Encouraged him to tumble, curse when he fell over, sing loudly and boldly no matter how off key it was; to dance like no one was watching. As if every moment was something special and could be formed into whatever their imaginations dreamed it could be. When everything was falling apart with his family, Saoirse was the one to hold his hand. Wipe his tears and climb up to his window at night, convincing him that she had another story and it was with great earnest he must hear it immediately. But really, they both knew she was there so he didn’t have to be alone with the raised voices. 
Though his mother tried to safeguard him, there was only so long before everything began to unravel. His father had never been faithful, engaging in multiple affairs to try and deal with his unhappiness at marrying young to someone he never truly loved. He’d followed along with what was expected as a Pure-Blood and married well, when in actuality he’d been in love with a Muggle whom he’d left behind under his father’s orders to safeguard the lineage. However, once gaining knowledge the woman he’d once loved had had a child, despite Gus, it was the final straw. For years he’d kept up appearances for the family sake and the Abbott name. Staying in Ireland rarely, putting his long trips down to simply business. When in reality he was with his other family who after eleven years of trying to hide, he finally left Ireland for to be with full time. Leaving Gus and his mother alone in the empty house with broken hearts, tarnished memories and echoing walls of their past difficulties. Quickly the MacMillan’s took it upon themselves to adopt the pair. With their mother’s linked in arms and Saoirse by his side, they became honorary MacMillans. Escaping into stories, playing records that Gus would bring back from his begrudged trips to London to spend time with his dad; they found solace in lyrics. As if that could somehow drown out the pain of his family breaking before his eyes. 
Coming to Hogwarts, he was relieved to be sorted into Hufflepuff alongside his best friend. The pair quickly took it upon themselves to find a group of like minded misfits. Fellow Hufflepuff’s, EDGAR BONES, EVE DIGGORY, TILDEN TOOTS, were quick to make their name in their little gang. Although a few years younger, upon her joining Hogwarts, misunderstood SYBILL TRELAWNEY soon joined their ranks. For once, he’d found a group of people who didn’t find him knowing every Fleetwood Mac lyric odd. Folk who admired his keen knack for Herbology. Reveling in one another, the group would spend hours by the Black Lake delighting in each other’s differences and sharing their hopes and dreams. They saw him as his own person and not a side to Saoirse. Accepting him exactly as he was, Gus could never thank his lucky stars enough to have them in his life. Though life at Hogwarts wasn’t always plain sailing. While Hogwarts came with the wonder of an extended friend group and the MacMillan’s who were like his family in so many ways, it also came with facing the truth and realities of his father and half brothers; LAURENCE ABBOTT and GILFRED ABBOTT. Unspoken tensions lingering between them all, Gus did his best to avoid them at all costs. While rationally he knew it wasn’t their fault, Gus can’t help but blame them for his father’s abandonment. Realistically knowing his anger and often bitter feelings were aimed towards his father, for his lack of care and interest, it felt as if Gus were merely discarded after he left to be with his new family. Surprisingly, Augustus found himself connecting with his cousin CECLIA ABBOTT much to Saoirse reserves with Celia’s more traditional views on blood. 
Romance was not something Augustus grew up believing in. Coming from a broken home it felt like a fantasy for so many years. But after his first summer back from Hogwarts he started to see things in a different light, to see one particular person in a different light. Something felt like it had changed in the air. Surprisingly, he found himself looking at Saoirse the way his mother had once looked at his father. The sound of her laugh resonating in his chest sent a warmth through him and a pink tint to his cheeks. Quickly, he realised while she had been the one to help ease his heartbreak, she was also the one to start his heart again. Despite trying to suppress his feelings, as they grew up, his adoration for her did along with it. Although he knows Saoirse like the back of his hand, the two commonly referred to as two sides of the same coin; Gus can’t help but fear his expression of affection will only send her fleeing in the opposite direction. Knowing she holds the same rebellious nature for societal norms, he fears deeply that she will slip through his fingers like his father did. As much as he would love to share the words that fill the poems he writes, Gus worries for the repercussions. Free spirited as she is, trying to hold onto Sersh can feel fleeting, as if trying to grasp a passing breeze. Though, he can still hold onto a hope that one day they could move back to Ireland, marry and be happy together. A part of him knows it’s probably something she would never want, but he’d be damned if he didn’t atleast try to convince her otherwise. 
Though tempted to move back home for a simple and quiet life, with the knowledge his friend group was residing in London and after the encouragement of his mother; Gus moved in with Edgar and took up a job at Concordia and Plunkett’s to pass the time. Though his family holds enough wealth for him to never work a day, he has found comfort in the familiar pattern and having his own money rather living off his family’s wealth. While being an assistant can be tedious, what Gus has found a love for is teaching. Holding guitar and music lessons for the young sorcerers in the neighborhood at the shop, Gus has found an unexpected joy in sharing his knowledge with the youth. With students from purist families being a rarity, he has the freedom and liberty to share his interest in Muggle music much to his overjoyed glee. Under the encouragement of Celia, Gus is slowly warming up to the idea of building bridges between his half brothers. While he loves being considered an honorary MacMillan and sees three of the four as sibling figures; he can’t help but be curious of his own blood. Though he heeds Marianne’s warning and has chosen to keep the potential of a rekindled relationship a secret from Saoirse for the time being despite his better judgement. With an unease brewing in the air, Gus can’t help but feel unsteady. Knowing Celia’s family are more lenient towards purists, Augustus fears having to choose between family and what he knows is right. While Saoirse bravely voices against the prejudice, Gus can’t help but keep his thoughts close to his chest; holding caution from worry of what lies ahead.

1970 | queen (part 1)
Summary: After working at a record store and discovering a record player that can transport you back in time, you find yourself in London of 1970. After scrambling to get back, you realize that something has gone terribly wrong with an infamous band, and you are the only one who can fix it.
Author’s Note: The beginning is very rushed (this whole chapter) only because I have big plans for the next couple of chapters. Please give feedback if you want this series to continue - it’s my first Queen work.
“They always say that time changes things, but actually you have to change them yourself.” - Andy Warhol (1975)
You worked at a record store in an old London strip, sandwiched between an ice cream shop and a children’s boutique. The building had been there for more then fifty years, according to the owner, and anyone who got close enough to look at it could tell. The concrete outside was stained with age, and the paint on the inside was beginning to peel. The man who ran the store knew of these things since you and your co-worker had begun to more frequently make remarks about the damages, but he would only shake his head with a smile and remark, “It makes it more authentic - a little more magical, don’t you think?”
With its dingy carpet floors and flickering sign, you didn’t understand how he could find anything magical about that store. It smelled of old paper and coffee, occasionally hosting the scent of a Bath and Body Works candle if you remembered to bring it. The cases for the vinyls were ridden with dust, and there was always Queen playing from a record player in the back corner of the store. It always played the same album: A Night At The Opera. You didn’t mind, since you had been a fan of Queen since you were little. Growing up, your dad would play it almost 24/7, and you grew to love the band and their music. No one dare change the album, and it’s been rumored that the same record has been playing for years straight; which, you must point out, is highly illogical. No vinyl record could play for that long without becoming damaged and scratched, especially if nobody has tried to take care of it.
It was a rainy Saturday when the owner, Mr. Jay as you called him, decided to stop by. He leaned against the register counter and cleaned his glasses with the handkerchief he kept in his pocket. “How’s everything going?” He asked, smiling. He was a short man with a semi-full figure. He had thick salt and pepper hair that dragged down into stubble along his jaw. He wore jeans, a plain white t-shirt and an olive green bomber jacket that stored a variety of items in its pockets: altoids, kleenex, money, you name it.
“Slow,” You said honestly. You were making your rounds of all the records, checking to be sure they were all in the right place: sorted by date. Your co-worker, Gabriel, let out a breathy laugh and kept scrolling on his phone.
Mr. Jay looked over to him with a sad smile, and then focused back down to his glasses. You began to feel guilty; you knew how much this shop meant to him. Who were you to talk about this man’s possessions like you were? You were a college student in need of a summer job that paid well so you could get your car radio fixed. Before you could speak up to apologize, or atleast end on a happier note, he spoke up, “It always is.”
He lifted his glasses up to the dim light to check for smudges and squinted. Dull thunder rolled in the background as a gentle shower of rain began to fall, hitting the tin roof above and echoing throughout the store. He slipped the clear-rimmed spectacles back on and sighed, strolling towards the isles of records. He dragged his finger tips along the top of them, stopping under the “1960’s” section. He pulled out a Beatles’ album and examined it. “Did you know there’s a conspiracy that Paul McCartney is dead?” He asked. You shook your head and he laughed, “It’s silly, it really is. Many believe that this,” He turned the revord to show the popular Sgt. Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band album cover. “Depicts his funeral. There’s a left handed guitar made of flowers down in the corner, but It really could be a right handed one flipped the other way.” He continued to mumble on about the theory for a few more moments until he stopped and looked up at the two of you, who were both staring at him awkwardly. He slipped the album back into its slot and took a deep breath, “Well I guess it’s my time to leave.”
He took several large strides and picked up his hat and phone off of the counter. “Have a good one,” He called out as he slipped out the door. You both stood silent as you watched him pull out of his parking space and drive out of eyesight. It was always a weird, somewhat sympathetic, feeling after he left. Neither of you didn’t really know what to do. You stood and fiddled with the belt loop on your jeans.
“He’s an odd man,” Gabriel spoke quietly. You nodded. “Gives me weird vibes; like he’s seen way too many things. Did you see the way he spoke about that conspiracy? It was like he was genuinely amused, like he was the one who created it or something.”
“He’s just different,” You said, “I don’t think he means any harm.”
Gabriel shook his head with wide eyes. “I don’t know Y/N. Something isn’t right about that guy. He came in here to do what? Be a spokesman for the “Paul McCarney Is Dead” club?” He shuddered.
You didn’t say anything. Brushing off any questions you had about Mr. Jay, you continued to do your album sweep. By the time you had reached the 1970’s, the song playing from the record player began to skip. You waited a moment for the skip to pass, but it just kept going. Already agitated from the creeping day, you stormed over to the old machine and stared at it for a moment. The spinning Queen logo made you dizzy. The player was covered in dust, and it was clear to you that nobody had touched it for a long while. You blew on it first, and then reached for the tonearm to fix it.
As soon as your fingertips touched the arm, you felt yourself being thrown from the record player. It was as if you were in a plane during takeoff: insane amounts of pressure were building on you, squeezing your body and twisting it in jerking motions. Your head felt as though it would crack and explode in any moment, and you squeezed your eyes tighter than they ever had been before to avoid seeing your insides being blown out. Before you could fully slip out of consciousness, you felt your feet firmly on the ground again. You stood still as your hearing began to come back, keeping your eyes still closed tightly shut. It wasn’t before you heard the commotion of voices that you decided to open them.
You were standing in the same place you had been: next to the record player that was sitting on the wooden stool. Except for this time, the player was brand new, and the music that was playing wasn’t queen; it was “Hey Jude” by The Beatles. You took a few moments to stand there, trying to calm the pounding headache in your head and figure out what in the world had just happened. Maybe I blacked out, you thought, or maybe I’m dead. Is this Heaven? Kind of dissapointing. You shook the thoughts out of your head and tried to stable your shaking body. It took a few moments for you to realize that you weren’t alone, so you slowly turned around and caught your breath. There was atleast thirty people in the record shop, browsing through the albums and talking amongst themselves. You couldn’t hear much since you were standing right next to the speaker, but something wasn’t right. The shop was lively and colorful, and Gabriel was nowhere to be found. Okay, this has to be Heaven, you convinced yourself, Where else would there be this many people in here? This has to be a dream.
A voice pulled you back into reality. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
You jumped and turned to your left to see a girl who looked about your age. Her hair was short and feathered, and she wore a long patterned skirt with a purple blouse. Her teeth were shining white and perfectly straight, and you could tell she wore a thin layer of lip gloss. She resembled Princess Diana when she was alive. “No,” You croaked, “Just looking around.”
“No problem, just let me know if you need anything. My name’s Michelle,” She said as she smiled. She turned to walk away.
“Thanks,” You hesitantly said. Nobody seemed to care that you were there; like you had been there all along. Realizing that you couldn’t stand there and people watch for forever, you took a deep breath and went to walk outside. You needed to figure out what was going on, and where exactly you were.
You wobbled at the first step, and it was more than just uneasy legs. Looking down, you realized you weren’t in your jeans and sweatshirt anymore. You were wearing tight, bell bottomed baby blue pants and a blue ruffled blouse. You wore white boots with a slight heel and quickly realizing something was seriously different, you frantically grabbed for your hair and realized it was long and straight, down below your shoulders. It wasn’t like that before. You were beggining to panic, and rushed out the door as fast as you could. You brushed past employees and young children cradling vinyl records, offering quiet apologizes as you did.
Once you busted through the doors and onto the street, you were taken aback. The streets were full of life. People passed you and offered friendly smiles. The smell of cigarette smoke and burnt rubber filled the air, along with hairspray whenever a girl walked by. Men’s hair was slicked back with gel to resemble Elvis and the women on their arms wore patterned dresses and jumpsuits with their hair up in high ponytails or curled. This definitely wasn’t 2019.
Looking around, you spotted a boy who looked around your age standing by a wooden post. He was fumbling tape on one hand and a small poster in the other, and eventually turned his back to you to apply the poster to the pole. You scurried over to him, still getting used to your shoes, and called out, “Hey!”
He quickly flashed his head around to you and paused what he was doing. He has slightly shaggy blond hair with big blue eyes. Slight bangs were hanging in front of his eyes, but as you got closer he brushed them out of the way. He wore tight pants and Lou Brock Converse, with a long, tan trench coat that was partly buttoned up. “Yes?” He said, lowering his arms.
You eyed the poster in his hands. “Could I have that?” You asked slightly out of breath.
He widened his eyes a little at your question, but gave you a quick look up and down and cautiously handed it to you. “Sure,” He said, biting his lip. “Are you interested in coming?” He asked eagerly.
“Um,” You faltered. Coming to what? You didn’t even know what decade you were in. Quickly scanning the paper, the headline “SMILE - MUSICAL PERFORMANCE” caught your eye. “Yes, actually. I’m new around here, and I was, uh, looking for something to do.”
The blond boy smiled. “Well, I hope we see you there,” He exclaimed. Giving you a smile, he turned and began to walk away. “I play drums, by the way!” He called.
You looked up and laughed a little. He blushed and swiveled around once more, this time not turning back. You immediately looked back down at the paper and searched it for any type of date. The only thing you got was June 2, not any year. Sighing, you slowly began to turn the other way to start heading back. You didn’t look up from the flier in your hand, your mind and heart still rushing from adrenaline, and before you knew it you had run right into somebody. You bounced off of each other quite aggressively, and instant apologies started spewing from both of your mouths. The boy you had ran into reached out for your arm to balance you. “I’m so sorry,” He said.
“No, no, don’t apologize! I wasn’t paying any attention to where I was going,” You admitted, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear. You both chuckled a little bit and looked down at your shoes. He picked at the ends of his long black hair and gave one last apology before walking away. You took a few steps but turned to watch him. He walked up to the wooden telephone pole and scanned the posters taped to it. He definitely was looking for something.
What was happening to you didn’t feel real; everyone you walked past or bumped into you felt like an illusion, even though you could touch them. It was like you were stepping into a movie. How did you get here? Where even were you? It’s like you were in a different dimension - a different chapter with the same setting.
You blinked a few times to get out of your trance and began looking for a new source to get the date. You would look insane if you asked somebody for the year, and Converse boy’s poster didn’t help very much. Slowly spinning around, a newspaper stand a few yards away seemed to glisten. You quickly made your way over, folding up the band flier in quarters as you did. Grabbing The Times off the stack, you read the headline: “D-Day for Europe as Dutch Vote”. You quickly scanned the small writing for any sort of date and by the grace of the Heavens, the year was finally printed before your eyes.
June 2, 1970.

Advanced Guide - Arena Efficiency
06-07-2017, 01:32 AM
Originally Uploaded by Forum User: Shiki
This is a followup from my other guide - https://forum.a-tm.co.jp/forum/valky...ather-diamonds
I`m considering making efficiency guides that cover all aspects of the game - from quests, to onslaught, to scenario, to connects in the future as well. For now tho, I`ll write this one since arena has always been my favorite aspect of the game. On the two accounts that I play(ed) I made over 6000 arena and grand arena matches, so I doubt there is something I havent figured out that would surprise me. So let`s get started. This guide will cover the following: -Things you might or might not know about arena -Underrated heroes/stats/status effects that are hidden op -Advices on how to build your team depending on your Power score -Personal hero tier list and recommended team setups
Things you might or might not know about arena Everyone knows arena is a place where a player can engage in a combat with another player(or CPU controlling the player`s team). You earn diamonds and mana for beating your best rank in arena, and daily diamond reward depending on the rank you have at your reset. The reset is at 5 am local(player time) so it differs for each player. One thing you need to know is, once you create your account, Ateam will store your original account creation location in their database and if you change the place you reside(e.g. move from Europe to America for example), the local time will remain the one of the country where you created your account. Here are few thing you might or might not know about arena. 1. Gear skills and basic attacks can be dodged, but action skills and limit bursts can`t be dodged - rather common fact about arena. 2. When you activate a gear skill, your action skill gauge briefly stops from filling - credits to @GICN for finding it out 3. As of recent update, element limit bursts (earthen breath,ice gorge,flame bulb, black hole, divine wrath) count as pure damage (neither ATK nor MATK), thus they can bypass barriers and reflects that are designed to block ATK and/or MATK damage(luflit skill,glacial cloak etc.). Those can only be blocked by skills and gear skills that absorb or reflect the said element damage(Glimmering armor, Arte, Aegir connect dark reflect etc.). Because they can bypass reflects, stacking mages with black hole vs luflit for example isnt that bad of an idea. 4. Reflected elemental damage amplifies if the attacker is weak to the said element. I cant confirm 100% if defenders resistances affect the damage, but I can confirm for sure that attacker`s resistances affect the damage reflected. So if youre resistant to the reflected damage(i.e. Odin to light) you will take significantly less damage, while if youre weak to the reflected element damage(i.e. Freya casting grimoire of accusation skill) you will take bonus damage. 5. Very few people know about this one - defender`s team has a hidden advantage because defensive gears have higher chance to activate on the defender side. This is one of the main reasons why turtle teams are so good. Defensive gears such as Winged Helm, Glacial Cloak, Urd Staff have increased activation chance when used by the defender. The same does not apply for the attacker, so that puts the attacker in a slight disadvantage. While Ateam probably won`t confirm this, nor does any website affiliated with VC, thus giving room for speculation that it`s purely RNG, I and the few others that know about this can confirm that it exist, due to countless observation of our arena matches. 6. Round 1 hero turn order - as you know, the pace of hero transition between different turns is based on your speed stat. However, something not many people know is that, to compensate the low speed of certain heroes(primarily tanks), at round 1 ALL TEAMS USE THE SAME HERO ORDER PATTERN. The philosophy behind this is to give slower heroes a chance to cast their skills before they can get statused by others(primarily for tanks). The order is the following: First Cast - nearest hero Second Cast - middle hero Third Cast - Farthest hero Fourth Cast - Fourth hero Fifth Cast - second hero How can you use this in your advantage - I can give two simple examples on how you can use this to turn the battle in your favor: 1)Your middle hero is a mage with mani little helper at gear slot 1, while enemy second hero is high attacker(like Thor) with winged helm at slot 1. Your hero will cast their mani helper first, hitting the enemy attacker while they are in mid-animation of casting their skill, blocking them from finishing casting the skill. This way they wont have regenerate skill up for 4 turns which will help you take them down faster. 2)Your highest MATK mage and enemy highest MATK mage both have Valhalla staff at gear slot 1, but your mage is your middle hero and enemy mage is their fourth hero - your mage will petrify the enemy mage first. If your heroes have same gear, same target, and same hero order, speed stat will determine whos skill will fire off first. Additional Note: Gear skills have their own animation speed with Elysian Dress being the fastest, while Mjolnir being the slowest. Some skills activate so fast it technically bypasses enemy turn - example if your Hel is in the middle and cast Elysian dress, because of the animation speed, it will cast BEFORE THE ENEMY EVEN CASTS THEIR SKILL (e.g. tanks casting regenerate or something else). If said scenario occurs, once the enemy is out of the status effect (shade), they will attempt to cast THEIR ROUND 1 SKILL, NOT THEIR ROUND 2 SKILL. So basically you can only interrupt skills if both your and enemy gear skill actually fire off(the yellow window with the skill name pops up) 7. Multi target skills(Ranco, Canon, Wolfgang) can hit the same target more than once depending on your RNG. A fun fact- they can also target dead heroes if they were alive during the skill wind up(cast animation). 8. Gear order determines which gear skill you will cast each turn. E.g. slot 1 will have its skill being cast at round 1,5,9 and so on, slot 2 will have its skill on round 2,6,10 and so on. Underrated heroes/stats/status effects that are hidden op Starting with heroes, there are 3 heroes that come to my mind, which many people consider rather underperforming, that are actually hidden op if used correctly. 1)Loki Considered by many as an utter garbage because his skill and lb are MATK, while he`s a physical damage dealer and there aren`t any hybrid gears, Loki has 3 things that actually make him a viable hero in PvP: -High dark and light resistance - most people heavily focus on these two types of element damage so his survivability is pretty decent, especially combined with his high EVASION -His gear confuses the target with lowest MDEF. Confuse in general is very strong stat and if applied to the person with Highest ATK(which usually happens since those tend to have the lowest MDEF), its even better. -His action skill is direct counter to Luca as it does light damage and confuses humans. The only downside is that its RNG based and might not hit the right target. 2)Michelle Considered an utter garbage, she has 2 things that actually make her hidden op: -Highest evasion in the game -Her gear gives her and the ally with lowest evasion(95% chance its the tank) curse immunity - extremely powerful vs anti turtle teams that rely on curse. 3)Mani While not as underrated as the above, she`s still considered lackluster because she doesnt have charm/petrify/ w/e reliable status to hit the front. However shes extremely strong at dealing with the backline due to the fact that almost all backliners are weak to dark. Strong against turtle teams. Underrated stats that are actually OP The only stat I`ll note is Evasion - greatly helps with survivability because if high enough, you can dodge almost all gear skills and basic attacks, making your enemies waste their turns for nothing. Status effects that are actually OP -Blind - while it doesnt disable heroes from using gear skills and activation skills, it makes them miss almost every gear skill/basic attack during the duration of the effect. Sometimes this can be better even than disabling effects, especially if an enemy uses a 1 or 2 turn buff skill before they use their next gear skill, as it will both waste their buff and their offensive gear skill, thus making them have to wait another 2-3 turns till they can activate them again -Slow - one of the most underrated but arguably one of the best status effects in the game. It severely reduces the pace of transition between hero turns to a point where other heroes will be able to do atleast 2 turns before the slowed hero can even move to their next turn. This alone is a reason you shouldn`t underestimate heroes like Nautica for PvP. -Silence - while not as underrated as the above, theres one thing about silence that not many people know - not only it disables the hero from using action skills, it disables them from using GEAR SKILLS as well

. Advices on how to build your team depending on your Power score I`m gonna break the Power score into 3 sub types: -Early game - from 0 to 100 000 Arena team Power score -Mid game - from 100 000 to 160 000 Arena team Power score -End game - from 160 000 onwards Early game Early game most heroes are still 3* and unorbed, also lack decent gears. This mean they lack defensive stats as HP, def, mdef and are fairly easy to kill. This is why at this range, heroes with AoE type of attacks (Thor, Amaterasu, Odin etc.), AoE gears(stillwater greatsword, thiazi cape etc) and the limited bursts Fimbulvetr and Thousand tomb are the your best option. Usually you will get carried by your 5* ticket hero at early stages so my best advice is to focus on them(orbing, leveling gear etc.) and give them a good bunch of AoE gear so they can one shot or almost one shot any non tank unit. Two things you need to know here; -Most people pick Thor as their 5* hero because of his overall usefulness at connects,quests and arena so it is good idea to have either Freya or Gullveig(preferably Freya) in your team to be able to status the enemy thor. -Tanks have high DEF and low MDEF due to the lack of orbs and suitable mdef gear. This is why mages are more viable early than melee. Additionally, since tanks are more fragile early due to lack of orbs/gear, they rarely survive more than 3 or 4 turns before they get killed. This is why Staff of Anguish(onslaught 2* gear that applies fear for 2 turns to nearest enemy) is INSANELY good as it can entirely block the tank from filling their gauge and they will most likely die before it wears off, if you have solid DPS. Mid game In midgame your heroes are already orbed or almost orbed. This is where gear plays the most important role. Here, heroes have abit better defensive stats so you can`t one shot easily anymore thats why in this range, status effect inflicting gear plays major role in winning your matches. Focus on gear with status effects - valhalla gear,mani little helper, vigrid, Elysian dress etc etc. while still keeping some DPS and AoE gear to take the enemy down easier. Late game At this point all the heroes are orbed, you have solid gear, skills and LB barely take half or 1/3 HP of squishy targets so everything is about who has the higher power score, luck and the most suitable heroes to counter the enemy. Personal hero tier list and recommended team setups Some heroes are better at early stages but wear off at end game(Thor). Others are weaker at early stages but scale better at end game(Thrud). And third type of heroes are very good all arounders (Odin). Additionally, some heroes have a lackluster skill but extremely powerful gear(Hel). Others are very strong as heroes but their gear is lackluster (Luca). And ofcourse some are both powerful and have strong gear (Odin). This list is solely based on their PvP capabilities and not their connect,quest or other content capabilities. Heres my list of top PvP heroes: SS tier: Luca - while I hate her to the bone and promised that I`ll never use her, shes undoubtfully the best tank in the game and nothing really stands above her. She`s also a human and female so she can wear both purity ring and hardstone, making her resistant to charm and petrify. Urd - the best healer and arguably the best all around hero in the game by far. Odin - his combination of buffing and debuffing along with his strong dark and light resistances and AoE damage make him very formidable mage, especially effective on setups that run 3 mages due to his mdef debuff. Freya - the most reliable status effect inflicting mage. Is tanky, has the best magic limit burst, high MATK. Nothing much to say Ranco - the best all around archer in the game. Her skill does neutral damage so you dont have to worry about resistances. Also applies strong status effects and her gear applies a strong debuff that is useful for connects and boss stages(cough 6-6 Forgotten memories hell mode jormungand). S tier: Thrud - tanky, targets the enemy mages. Nowadays many mages lack water resistance(Odin, Amaterasu, Rin) so shes the most reliable damage dealer from the melee heroes. Thor - while he wears off at late stages, his AoE skill with the paralyze effect can still be solid. Especially if you run abit off meta and use him as a tank - he will be able to cast his skill faster thus blocking enemy humans(beasts and elves) earlier at the battle. Young Ymir and Genesis Ymir - both of them have the same strengths and weaknesses - while they deal high damage and bypass barriers, they dont bring anything else on the table like Odin does(buffs/debuffs) to be considered as good as him. Amaterasu - Highest MATK mage in the game, AoE skill, applies defense debuff and burn. I put her as S tier because her gear is rather lackluster compared to Odin and there are plenty of heroes resistant to fire. Matisse - the MATK ranco. The reason she isnt SS tier is because she hits less amount of targets and doesnt have her own gear. Additionally, shes more of a defensive support type of ranger while Ranco can be both defensive and offensive type. Momiji - shes the hero you can rely the most on taking care of the enemy backliners, her gear is exceptionally good. Hel - main reason she is ranked high is (surprise) her gear. It can however be a double edged sword since it can both help you win or help enemy win by time out. Sif and Zato - situational heroes but they have their use especially Sif since she does light damage and heroes like Skadi and Luca are weak to light. Skadi and Niji - they are very flexible as they can be used both for offense and defense. The main problem about them is due to their flexibility, their skill design is made to be viable for both tank and DPS setup but because of that it is lacking compared to real tank and real dps skills - niji barrier lasts only one turn, skadi can status effect only aesir etc etc. Marmalade - extremely useful turtle team hero thanks to her MATK reduction. Luflit - powerful anti mage hero, sadly she is only viable vs heavy MATK setups thus making her useless against melee Hrungir - the opposite of Luflit, extremely powerful vs melee as his skill paralyzes almost all melee heroes(including non airborne dwarfs like niji). However he is easy to status effect (charm) and only hits the front row so 1-3-1 teams for example counter him hard Best end game setups for every role I can divide the roles into 3: Conventional - all around tanky heroes with good offense Full offense - very strong at offense but also easy to kill Turtle - very tanky, low damage, their goal is to stall the game until you time out Here are my personal best setups for end game: Conventional - Luca, Thrud/Saber, Odin, Freya, Hel Focused primarily towards MATK. With gungnir and good bunch of AoE and status gears it can be deadly. Turtle - Luca, Skadi/Hrungir, Witch Idun, Urd, Matisse For me atleast this is by far the best turtle setup in the game. It has everything - buffs, barriers, status effects etc. If youre gonna build a turtle team I strongly suggest you avoid offensive gears and focus on defensive ones(glacial cloaks,druid cloaks, urd staff etc.). Only exceptions you can make are spine crusher, valhalla staff and gun, and curious mask. Offense team This is all depending on what kind of enemy you face. Not recommended against conventional teams Best if you use one melee, 3 or 2 mages and 1 or 2 rangers. Best melee to use include Mia, Ayame (still unreleased) and Thor Mages - Freya, Odin, Amaterasu, Ymir, Hel Rangers - Ranco, Matisse, Momiji, Canon That concludes this guide, I hope people find it useful. Happy PvPing
