LABRYNTH - EJ.C

bejeweled | karma | masterlist

summary: the one where you realise that what you thought was going on between you and ej was not real

wordcount: 1.2k

Samantha Morgans was your best friend, your next door neighbour and your confidante - at least, she used to be when you were little kids. She still seems to think that she deserves to know everything that’s going on in your life.

She had picked you up after a theatre rehearsal for dinner and she had teased you in the car about how cute EJ Caswell was.

Discussing the boy that you were obviously head over heels about was not what you wanted to do so you managed to divert the conversation to her and her time at college - she always loved talking about herself.

The train rocked back and forth as you headed into the inner city, sitting next to Samantha, hoping that she didn't bring up that subject again. But you knew her, she loved to snoop.

“So, EJ?

You felt your heart skip a beat at he sound of his name, like you always did, like a little girl with a schoolgirl crush - and you guess, in most ways, that’s all it was.

Samantha looked at your nonchalant expression, not knowing that underneath you were already drowning at the sound of his name, “He’s perfect,” she said, “Pretty guy, nice, good singer,”

“I know,” you muttered, trying not to meet her eyes.

You looked out of the window as the city passed you by. You wished she would drop the conversation.

She just stared at you, “I saw the way he looked at you,” she said.

“I know,” you repeated.

There was silence after that. This was the one subject that you did not want to discuss, especially not right now.

You had all found out about his relationship with Nini when you had returned to school and it had broke your heart. You really thought that you had a chance.

A part of you hated yourself for not asking him out before summer had started, before he ever had a chance to ask Nini out and fall for her. This was a common theme with you - you were always just a little bit too late.

You cursed yourself as you realised you were falling in love, again! He was just someone who was nice to you and paid you any attention and here you were grovelling at his feet like he had turned your whole life around.

Breathe in, breathe through.

You had zoned off and hadn't even realised that Samantha had called your name before she tapped you on the shoulder.

You looked over at her, eyes meeting hers for the first time since you had started this conversation, “What would you do if he asked you out?”

“He wouldn't,” you scoffed.

His relationship with Nini was solid. She seemed to adore him and his face lit up every time that he mentioned her. They were the leads in the play and you were nobody in comparison.

Your heart was squeezing in your chest and you had to hope that she couldn’t see the turmoil on your face.

“He’s just nice to everyone,” you said after a little while, trying to convince yourself as much as you were convincing her.

“He gave you those flirty eyes, I saw the way he talked to you,” she said, nudging your shoulder with hers, giving you a teasing smile, “You were the most important person in the room,”

There was that sharp pain again. The one deep inside of your chest as you had to listen to your friend drone on and on about how the two of you would be such a cute couple and that it was obvious that he had feelings for you.

You didn't understand why the words were caught in your throat like that. You couldn't figure out why you couldn't just tell Sam that he had a girlfriend, that he didn't see you in the way that he saw her.

Maybe it’s because if you did, if you opened her mouth and admitted it, you would yell it out.

You would scream the words out about how much you wished that he looked at you the way that he looked at Nini.

The monotone voice of the woman blasting from the speaker on the train took you out of you thoughts.

You sniffled, eyes darting away for a second to hide the way that the tears started to burn behind your eyes. You didn't know why you wanted to cry, unsure whether it was the embarrassment of the situation or your anger towards it.

“We’re at our stop,” you muttered, looking up at her with a half hearted smile that she looked past.

She held her arm out, giving you a smile. You nodded, linking your arm with hers as you forgot about the conversation.

You heard your phone beep in your pocket and looked down at the notification - EJ has posted late. You internally cursed be real for notifying you of his existence.

Samantha rushed off to look at a market stall and you pulled your phone out of your pocket, opening the notification to see him sitting on the sofa, one arm wrapped around Nini’s shoulder whilst the other side showed them watching a TV show together.

You felt your heart sink in your chest at the sight of the boy that you were completely enamoured with hanging out with someone else.

You could only blame yourself for not asking him out soon enough and for being so ridiculous about it all. You could only blame yourself for requesting to follow him, now being subjected to the torture of watching him be happy with someone else.

Samantha waved her hands at you, encouraging you to come over and join the festivities. Despite your heart sinking in your chest, you walked over.

The older girl wrapped an arm around your shoulder and led you through the stalls, “Guys suck,” she said, almost like she could see the inner turmoil you were suffering.

You scoffed. There was a silence after that, like Samantha was waiting to see how you would react to the whole scenario and whether you would finally admit it.

You watched as people walked around you, the market crowded with happy young couples, men who looked at their partners like they hung the stars. If only EJ would look at you like that.

There was a bitter seed in your chest that was planted that day, one that said that boys were not worth the trouble. You should really be focusing on the most important school year of your life rather than the gorgeous boy who you wished would look at you the way he looked at his girlfriend.

Just the thought made you sick to your stomach. Nini was your friend, why were you so envious of her?

Maybe because just like you, she was nothing special. She had no hidden talent, no star studded looks, no perfection. She was ordinary. And so were you. So why didn’t he pick you?

samantha could see the way that you had zoned out, eyes focused on a bench where a couple was sitting hand in hand, the girls head on her shoulder, “Come on,” she tugged on your hand, “Let’s go get some dinner,”

You nodded. There was a weight lifted off of your chest knowing that she wouldn't ask any more questions. It only hurts this much right now, one day, it would go away.

It won't last. This feeling in your chest that feels like you would have to spend a lifetime getting over him won't last forever.

Big Welcome Labrynth

"Special Summon 1 'Labrynth' monster from your hand, Deck, or GY, then return 1 monster you control to the hand. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 Fiend monster you control, or, if you control a Level 8 or higher Fiend monster, you can target 1 card your opponent controls instead; return that card to the hand. You can only use 1 'Big Welcome Labrynth' effect per turn, and only once that turn."

Sekhi's Big Boopin' "Games I Played in 2023" List.

So, since my buddy @moxpunk did one of these I figured I'd join in on the fun. As with her list...

There's gonna be spoilers.

There's gonna be a lot of games.

This will be limited to games I didn't play until 2023. Either because they came out this year, or because I didn't get around to them. I got into some, like Elden Ring, good and hard... but I got that one in 2022 for example.

Ready? Here we go!

Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader:

So this is one I started just recently, but its a hell of a lot of fun so far. Owlcat is the same company that made the Pathfinder CRPG games (Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous,) and they brought the same level of love and detail to the 40k universe. Its still a bit buggy, but unlike Bethesda they have an excuse of actually being a smaller indie studio and, unlike Bethesda again, they actually patch their games so give it a month or two if bugginess is a deal breaker, but I heartily recommend this one!

Steamworld Build:

A city management sim set in the cutesy cartoony robot-wild-west world of Steamworld. Its... okay. Its not horrible, but its not something I really feel like I'm going to get too huge into. If you're into city management games then go nuts, but in my case I've already got a lot of games that do what its doing already so it just feels like one more to the pile for me. Sadly that happens a lot these days with how many indie games come out every week anymore.

The Caligula Effect 2:

I got the original a while back but wound up returning it as it didn't grab me, but the sequel always had my eye so when it went on sale during the Steam Autumn Sale I wound up nabbing it. The sequel, happily, is far better than the original one. A great soundtrack (if you like Japanese music, which I do) and some fun as heck characters with an interesting presence of an evil Vocaloid whose music pulls anyone with regrets into a very anime Matrix essentially. Its weird, but most good RPGs, especially modern ones, are gonna be weird. Its part of their charm.

Bonus points for my fellow LGBTQA+ peoples, one of the main characters is cannon non-binary. Try to guess which one. :D

Dredge:

A fishing sim with a Lovecraftian twist. Fish up your catch to make money, but don't be shocked if some of the stuff you fish up has multiple eyes, or whispers dark secrets, or just wants to slap you with a tentacle. It can be fun, but also a bit frustrating at times too. Solid B+.

Undernauts: Labrynth of Yomi:

Hm. Its... hm... its... something. Its certainly something. A first person dungeon crawler with turn based combat along the lines of the old Wizardry games, but... well... very surreal dark urban fantasy set in Japan... sorta... except its evil parallel not-Japan.

Its... something. But it sure as hell isn't worth $60. Do what I did and wait for a Steam sale if you're gonna give this one a go.

Dungeons 4:

I was a big fan of Dungeons 3 so I fully admit to bias here, but I'm having a blast with this one. A ton of over the top cheesy tongue in cheek parody of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and more in a game that basically does very well with the formula of the old Dungeon Keeper games that EA completely fucked up. The humor might not be your thing, but this is a good one for my collection.

Flipwitch: Forbidden Sex Hex:

Go ahead and mark my blog NSFW like every other queer person Tumblr, I'm including this one! I swear I felt like I was having a bit of a stroke when I first played it. I found the one good adult video game on Steam! A retro style 2-D metroidvania game where you play a witch that can swap sexes at will. You use it for sex of course, but also some really interesting puzzle mechanics that can involve swapping between male and female in mid-jump to bypass barriers and other obstacles as well as dodge enemy attacks. They took kinky sex stuff and made a good game! I didn't think that actually happened on Steam!

My Time at Sandrock:

I really don't know what to say here, I just don't care for this game at all. Its just... eh. I think its because I tend to favor Survival/Crafting games which have a lot more creative freedom than this one does, but... well yeah. Its not a bad game, but its bad for me. Moving on.

9 Years of Shadows:

You are a knightly woman who is backed up by a magical plushie who you recharge by hugging it and singing to it in a world where color has been consumed by a ravenous shadow. Dear gods its a Care Bears special.

Blacktail:

A really unique take on the old Slavic legend of Baba Yaga, set in a fairytale world where you play as Yaga (or is it Baba?) Its quite the trip, though I didn't play it for very long. Its one of those games I keep saying I'll finish one day and then OOO! SOMETHING SHINY!

Coral Island:

Its... alright. Its Stardew Valley but on a tropical island... but thats kind of the problem. Its Stardew Valley but. It runs into the same problem that the aforementioned Steamworld Build did where I already have other games I like that do the same thing. So yeah... decent enough, but don't be shocked if it's just another for the pile.

Dragon Quest Treasures:

A spinoff of the recent Dragon Quest installment (number eleven if you're keeping track) where you play as the thief character Erik and his sister when they were kids as they go on an adventure to become treasure hunters. Its... well... its alright, but it just didn't click for me. I feel like some of these Dragon Quest spinoffs are coasting on name recognition sometimes and this is definitely one of them that gives that vibe. I haven't tried the new Dragon Quest Monsters title yet though so maybe that'll be good.

Gunbrella:

Boy Devolver Digital does some weird shit don't they? Its a decent enough metroidvania style game where you play as a man on a quest for revenge with an umbrella that is also a gun. You uncover occult mysteries and it all has this 1920s Noir-ish vibe to it. Its a fun enough game... but I only played it for an hour and a half and I'll be damned if I could tell you why.

Persona 5 Tactica:

Look. I loved Persona 5, I even had fun with Strikers... but for crying out loud Atlus the bottom of the barrel has been reached. This one is a perfectly fine entry if you really like tactical RPGs a-la Disgaea and the like, but I think we're all ready for Persona 6 now! Don't even get me started on the damn mobile game.

Remnant 2:

The dimension hopping adventures of a heroine with an acid-flamethrower, a cursed rifle that shoots fingerbones, and her companion Captain Sparky McBorkbork the Wonder Dog. What more need be said? Its fun as hell, give it a go.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew:

A pirate stealth 'em up where you command a ghost crew of undead swashbucklers fighting the not-inquisition with a sentient pirate ship that has the power to reverse time in a way that allows you to use the stealth game 'that didn't happen' mechanic in a way that fits into the story itself. I've been hearing people say that it seems weird this didn't do better... but I think I might know why it didn't.

Shadow Gambit's release date: August 17th 2023.

Baldur's Gate 3 release date: August 3rd 2023

To quote Messir Robin Williams: "AHA! A CLUE, SHERLOCK!"

Two games that, at a glance, are very similar (top down, mouseclick to move, RPG elements, etc) but one of them was a LOT bigger hyped than the other. Yeah... Shadow Gambit got overshadowed it seems.

Survival: Fountain of Youth:

A survival game where you're part of an expedition in the Age of Exploration from Spain to find the mythical Fountain of Youth. Its quite the title and very involved. You need to worry not just about food and water but things like sunstroke and sunburn, exhaustion, and the like. That being said it's still early access so maybe give this one some more time in the oven. Its neat so far, but they're planning a lot more for it.

Wildmender:

A cozy game with a twist. Your world was reduced to lifeless desert by someone fucking around with shadow magic and now you need to help restore it. Go from a tiny spring next to one of the few remaining trees into a massive garden by reawakening other springs, connecting them via digging rivers, and growing plants along the bank to bring life back to the desert... and occasionally fight shadow demons with a magic mirror. Good times.

Aces & Adventures:

I'm normally not one for card based games, but this one grabbed me and I wound up really enjoying it. A sort of combination of five card poker and Dungeons & Dragons where you pick one of five classes and adventure through the world and history to save it from an evil god. I stuck with mage and found that as long as I played it right there was very little that could touch me, but there's four others who seem neat too.

Evil West:

This came out in 2022, but I didn't play it until February 2023 so I'm counting it! A spaghetti western meets Van Helsing where you play a vampire hunter who literally punches the undead to death using steampunk weaponry and a shitload of guns. Its a heck of a fun ride that evokes the better action games from the 360 era. Think Warhammer 40k: Space Marine but set in the Wild West and using vampires instead of orks. There ya go.

Marvel Midnight Suns:

It is such a damn shame they screwed up the marketing for this so bad because my god this was fun as hell. Make your own character, then hang out with Spiderman, Captain America, Blade, and Deadpool of all people while saving the world from H.Y.D.R.A and Cithon. I had an absolute blast playing it and it genuinely saddens me that we might never see a sequel because they dropped the ball so hard on getting word out there.

Octopath Traveller 2:

An amazing follow up to the original game with much improved gameplay, some of the most endearing characters I've seen in a JRPG in a long time (I actually commissioned myself cosplaying Agnea because I liked her so much,) and some absolutely incredible music. Its really astounding what Square Enix can pull off when they remember why we loved them in the first damn place.

Also Ochette. She is a precious bean.

Lies of P:

Forgot to add a few of these as I played them on PC Games Pass and they weren't on my Steam list, but yeah one of those I played there was Lies of P which actually is the reason I got back into Elden RIng. Lies of P is a superb Souls-like that, while difficult, is never too difficult to stop me entirely (except for Laxasia I mean jesusfuckingchrist how am I supposed to dodge that?) I hear that either the DLC or the sequel will be their take on the Wizard of Oz which, given what I know of the works of L Frank Baum is going to be freaking nuts. Hell they'd barely need to change the Wheelers at all to make them into souls-like monsters, and I'm pretty sure I actually did fight flying monkeys in Elden RIng.

Hi-Fi Rush:

I didn't wind up finishing this as I'm just really not that great at rythm games, but ye gods did Bethesda get it right with this one. Really Yahtzee said it all back in his review before the Escapist collapsed and he and his cohorts fled to form Second Wind: "Hi-Fi Rush was simultaneously announced and released on the day of the Xbox showcase, which is something you only do if you’re really fucking confident in your game’s instant appeal and high quality. And by all the locally sourced meatless lasagnas in Hell do I hate to admit they were probably right to be." I didn't finish it, but what I did play was damned amazing.

Guardians of the Galaxy:

I forgot I even played this one until my Games Pass account reminded me this morning, but in hindsight it was pretty dang neat. I got to hang out with some of my favorite Marvel characters, I got to meet Adam Warlock who was one I'd never heard of but I wound up looking up on the wiki after the fact, and I got to meet Cosmo who is the goodest comrade. It was funtimes. Yahtzee, formerly of Zero Punctuation and now Fully Ramblomatic, calls these sorts of games a 'Ghost Train Ride' but, well, sometimes its fun to go on those if they've got some nice visuals and good voice acting.

Sea of Stars:

This one is one of those "I should really go back and finish this one day" games that I know, deep down, I probably never will get around to. A lovely throwback to classic SNES/Early PS1 era RPGs with lovely sprite-based visuals and some really fun enemies (I especially enjoyed the ghost pirate captain.) Definitely worth a try and I really will go back and finish it at some point no really pinkie swear.

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun:

Funny how this list begins and ends with a Warhammer game. I swear that wasn't intentional, I was just going through my Steam library and saying 'oh right, that one.'

Boltgun is a lovingly done boomer shooter set up in the Warhammer 40k Universe and is actually a direct spinoff of W40k: Space Marine from the 360 with a fragment of Inquisitor Drogan's power source serving as the principal macguffin you're after through the whole of the game, meant to bridge the gap between that fun ork-stomping simulator from a few generations back and the upcoming sequel this September (Imma 'cited. :3)

Its fun, its cheap, its short and sweet. Go blow up some heretics.

And yeah, thats the last of them. There were others, but none really worth mentioning. These are the ones I still remembered for whatever reason. Happy Holidays everyone. Here's hoping we get some more memorable titles in 2024.

tell me your favorite fics

AN EXCELLENT QUESTION! Tbh I'm... idk I wouldn't call it picky, but I have a very specific taste in fic 😋😋 while at the same time I'll read basically anything?? I can definitely list out some of my absolute faves though! (Though these aren't all of them of course, we'd be here all day)

I'll continue under a cut to keep it from getting long!

For Gen Fics:

Gotta start with the OG, Darkness Exists to Make the Light Truly Count by aquaquadrant, this was the first TTS fic I read where I went "yeah this FUCKS". Unfinished and probably abandoned, unfortunately, but damn the stuff that's there is so good it makes me feral

Then I love Labrynths of the Heart by izabellwit, which I binge read in one night, staying up until about 5am to finish because holy SHIT it's so good it makes me insane!! It's funny because I didn't actually meet iza until about a year (?) later but damn was I a fan since day one lmaooo

OH and Return to Me by arcticpersephone owns my whole ass rn, it makes me absolutely bonkers every time there's an update!! The characterization of Varian and Rapunzel especially make me INSANE

There's also Chemiluminescence by ScottyFree, which was a bit of a sleeper hit for me, I knew I was going to like it I just didn't anticipate how much it FUCKS--I really enjoy the uncle Hector content lmao

For a platonic soulmate fix (because I am soulmate trash in all ways) I really loved Tell me, is something wrong by AngstingQueen. It's a really great integration of soulmates into the TTS canon and its GOOD FOOD

THEN we've got Frea the Huts O’ Your Tenant Folk by SiryyGray which just. It fucks. It fucks severely. I loved watching the mystery of it expand and adapt and it drove me BONKERS

Also a recent addition, but The Third Amber by Samuri_Jill is REALLY GOOD I love the apple dad content, it really goes into Varian and Quirin’s relationship and I'm kind of obsessed with it

OKAY I THINK THATS ENOUGH GEN LMAO

For Varigo Fics

FIRST UP is if i hated you (and i really, really do) by miss battybatzgirl, because holy SHIT. Holy shit. Her interpretation of varigo drives me feral, just batshit bonkers, literally anything by her makes me foam at the mouth

THEN we have one iced grande triple espresso by ashdoesfandom aka THE FUNNIEST MF IVE EVER MET!! Seriously, all of ashs fics have such an amazing sense of humor to them, it makes me weep because I can't handle it lololol

This one might be biased since they gifted it to me, but We’re Just Ships Passing in the Night, But I Want You Forever by Cayenneavocado is GOOD. IT FUCKS. It's that perfect blend of drama and lighthearted shenanigans that does me in, every time I stg

Then I'd recommend You Say Jump by bean_reads_fanfic! I loved ella enchanted as a kid, so seeing how that concept plays out in the TTS universe was SO FUN! (Also I know this is you but honestly its a good fic so shhhh)

Also!! Varian Stone and the Vanishing Bandit by Hybrix_Hijinx owned my entire ass while it was posting, I've never listened to Juno Stone so it was totally fresh to me and I LOVED IT

AND FINALLY

(Like the moon) I'll sway the tide and lead you astray by chamiryokuroi and ThatOneGirlBehindYou is FANTASTIC if you're willing to be a bit of a multishipper and stray from varigo 😂 in my defense it pre-dates varigo by quite a bit, and it's *so fucking good* not enough people have read this and it's a damn shame

Thank you for the ask!! This was a lovely trip down memory lane lol, lotta stuff I have to reread on this list, it's been too long ❤️❤️

the backsekais

they say that if you hear the wrong song, you’ll fall between worlds. theh call it the backsekais. there, nothing makes sense. it just reflects back at you your feelings. you’re stuck there until you find a way out. that is, if you ever do find a way out… not everyone makes it back.

when people are first brought into the world it can sometimes be hard to notice anything is different. but eventually the lack of people and silence drives them mad into exploration. into the unknown labrynth hiding… creatures they have yet to discover.

i interviewed a young girl today with these pretty star hairclips. she said that the backsekais took her friends. she said that at first they thought they were lost, so they went out looking for directions. upon entering a cafe, it was completely empty. they decided to keep searching, and as they got further from the cafe, the darker the streets became, and the quieter everything became, too.

into the pitch black darkness and defeaning silence her friends vanished. but glitching holograms of friendly boys and girls appeared. and she could hear them. they asked her what she wanted.

apparently her answer was right, because she woke up in the real world. she thought it was all a dream. she was so relieved. until she had to confirm it to herself that her friends were back. they were not.

her body became so weak with panic. it was all she could do to call the police before passing out.

her friends are still out there, fighting in the backsekais, trying to find their true feelings so that they may be returned to this world.

One moment you are ...there...

A classroom, a library, a dusty living room

Head bent over some crisp new product of print and standardized testing

Hair brushing the tousseld locks of

The earnest, the focused, the one who wants to learn

You just finished guiding the child through a labrynth of half remembered, half learnt rational equations

The both of you stumbled over the last one

It is time to disect some dismembered organ of text,

Chosen, selected, disected from a living text

The child needs to use the restroom

You agree absently as you cast your eye over the text preparing to explain why the state of New York demands that the child torture this once living tale.

And then

and then

and then you are not

The child returns and finds you on the floor, nose nearly touching what they can still only see as print and parental requirements for all of their

earnest, focused, desire to have learned

You are to teach them

But can you?

Can you teach them the smell of the dusty administrative offices of a Zoological Garden two centuries ago?

Can you teach them the bemusement as you are sent by the old, wise, credulous?

Can you teach them why your heart pulsed with excitement through your skepticisim?

Can you teach them what a fantastic beast, more mythical than a dragon, more intangible than a djin the slightly larger of a pair of black and white sea birds was?

Can you teach them to be so gripped by a dismembered story that for a few glorious moments they too will be a cleark in Her Magisty's service leaving their dusty shelves to taste the cold salt wind of the northern islands on their lips?

Smile weakly and hand them back that which lists the demands of the State of New York.

Tell them to start reading, what questions to do, in a voice you swear was vibrated by a train.

Wince as the now vital corpse is vivisected once more into, causes, tension explained, lines, half-lines.

Slowly, question, by question, you feel the twitching thing die back into grammar, phrases, words.

Can you teach the child, you wonder, can anyone teach them so that the story can live again.

My uphill dying battle of supporting Chemical Plants inclusion in Forces

It makes sense because of world building and just how Eggman is. Telling me that Chem Plant doesn't belong in Eggman's utopia go fuck yourself you don't know shut up

But seriously? It just reminds me of how in the Archie comics they included those same levels from the games as like just areas. In the Genesis Wave era I think? There was a whole thing about Sonic and Freedom Fighters going to Chem Plant to Do A Thing and they return there again or in the earlier chapters when they're in Scrap Brain or Labrynth Zone it's really cool!!!! So it makes sense to be in Forces and I'll die on this stupid fucking one sided hill

in my dreams there are always these themes:

traveling, vacations, and little games, always involving going into the woods or through a small town. there's a seaside town i frequent. once had a dream of being in a plane crash right by the harbor. often there's abandoned structures in the town, and always there's a beach.

stress dreams about pets. i'm always surrounded by way more animals than I can handle, and in the dream there's always very little responsibility on my end re: how i act in those scenarios. sometimes i return the pet, but often i walk into my bedroom to suddenly discover a small pet shop. and a lot of hoarded toys

grandpa's house. grandpas house is like its own separate genre, burrowing under the stairs reveals a bunch of stuff in a tiny room like that scene in the labrynth. the backyard is always an elaborate garden or farmland and I walk into the countryside. sometimes out in the fields past grandpas house there's a huge factory. I never know what i'm doing there but i will often break in and sneak around

I don't have nightmares, which is nice and convenient. Just stress dreams, sometimes grief dreams too. I don't know why I don't have nightmares, but it feels like the fault of some major repression. I used to have sexual nightmares a lot as a young teenager. i probably just don't remember my nightmares, which is great. hopefully eventually I get an idea of it, but while there is fear and stress in my dreams i havent woken up distressed in any way other than sad in a long while. once when i was 13 i woke up trapped in my body and tried to scream but my face was frozen shut

§ Luck Dragon §

LUCK DRAGON EXTRA SENSORY POWER

The Luck Dragon Guru can birth whole solar systems, can teleport and uses telekinesis to locate long-missing Sacremental Articles. The Luck Dragon Guru is the original and first Luck Dragon and cannot be destroyed; after having been murdered by an unknowing and unsuspecting (later, Saint) Patrick, who was duped by greedy gold-digger vagabonds to kill the Dragon Guru by accusing the Dragon of terrorizing villagers and setting crops alight, catching and setting alight and then eating live sheep and goats and so on.

When, really, all these pirates wanted was access to the Sacaremany and "mountains of gold, as far as the eye can see but it's all Sacaremany and not booty or treasure, for human eyes, but Sacred and for Sacremental use, when the time is right. That old Dragon, he knows the time and the hour..."

The true story was that these pirate so-called villagers had arrived as hungry, filthy and starved travellers and had found hospitable, welcoming and kind hosts in the indigenous peoples. For their efforts, these peoples, of the lands, had had their men's throats slit, in their sleep and the women had been passed around and boy-children had been eunuched and girl-children had been forced to work the lands and be servants and wenches at night, waiting on these new lords of the realm.

The Dragon Guru Suroosh, had known these goings-on but had been on quest, in faraway lands, at the time but took an oath: by all things, sacred, to avenge the gentle folk, who had lost their lives and freedoms, so harshly and without their Pray-Elector present. They were perilous times, in which the destruction of Creation itself, had to stopped. This is the only purpose that could have moved the Dragon Guru from the mountain he guarded so religiously. Upon leaving he assembled the Council of Elders and told them to take care and that he would be away, on a quest to negate the approaching darkness that was on everyone's minds and lips.

Getting his leave, Dragon Guru left only to return to an enslaved people and the Council of Elders, dead.

His wrath was fair: burning EVERY man, woman and child, amongst the pirates, he spared every single living villager and upon the Dragon assaination, by a Knight by the name Patrick, all the dead villagers awoke in their beds, the very next morning. The Sacaremany, the mountain, the Dragon Guru and the Old Magix was gone.

Many years later, in our times, the Dragon Guru, Suroosh, is reborn to us.

LUCK DRAGON GURU REGALIA

This Luck Dragon wears a tunic, a mosaic of duck egg blue, hot pink and laiz lazuli. He is emblazoned with trims of the finest Rose Gold, ever to have been smythed and silver devices, dazzle the eyes,. Ironically, seagreen and lime trefoil buttons hold this tunic in place and express the Luck Dragon Guru's will to feed on herbivorous Trefoil Lucerne alone, having lost his taste for toasting squealing creatures, alive to then swallow their crispy corpses, whole.

LUCK DRAGON FAMILY TREE

A magical medallion of pure gold, in the shape of the labrynth hangs about his neck, a reminder to all of his close family tie to the Sphinx, which can only be consulted after a riddle is answered correctly. The answer to negating the need to be caught in this unsolvable riddle is to look at the bearing of the Sphinx, of which there should be a pair. That would tell the gazer whether they were welcome or not. And whether there were good tidings in the city behind them or whether they were "On Guard. Who goes there?"

This genetic remnant is also apparent in the 2 sets of eyes of the Luck Dragon Guru, Suroosh, on atop the other.

Another distant relative is the silkworm, a vicious insect with a drill, infront of his mouth, which the medallion transforms into when the Dragon Guru chooses a home in the mountains, to cut through granite, marble, onyx and obsidian.

LUCK DRAGON MILITARY FORMATIONS

The Luck Dragon Guru, Suroosh, is the Commander of an elite 13 Luck Dragon, he births, at a whim.

The Luck Dragon Master is his Lieutenant and responsible for the training of the 13.

every meta i write does boil down to : gerri has been consumed by waystar. she is so entangled in it and logan and the roys, that it is often hard to tell where one ends and another begins. in hunting when she learns frank is coming back after being fired, after being given an out she asks “why” and it is very much from the perspective of someone who saw him escape the labrynth after 30+ years, only to return, knowing she would have done the same. waystar is the comfort in the dark, not because it scares away the monster but because it is the monster they know. they know how it will hurt them, and that is as close to comfort as they will ever have.

Shin SD Gundam Gaiden Knight Gundam Maryuu Zero no Kishiden: Chapter Extra

This was an extra chapter that was originally first printed in the Tankobon releases of the Gold Saga. (I might do that as a thread if I get enough of a demand, but looking at the response to my previous threads, it'll probably be never.) It was then printed in the compilation volume for Knight Gundam Monogatari, which is where these images come from.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Bonus: The Hidden Story of Zero Gundam

"Who…am I?! Who exactly am I? I don't remember a thing…!"

The amnesiac Zero asks the helmsman where the ship is going. He replies Highland Village, to his surprise. The helmsman was surprised as well, as he had to search for it.

This was apparently a request from the village's head. He requested the Maryu Swordsman to come and help their village. Become the "savior".

"I'm the Maryu Swordsman? I'm that so called savior?"

Later, Zero arrives in Highland Village and saves a girl from a monster. He doesn't remember anything, but can't let an innocent get hurt. Strangely, he is unable draw the sword on his back and resorts to some thunder techniques to fight the monster.

The attack is able to stun the monster and Zero takes him down with his own blade. The girl (Shakti) and chief thank Zero, who asks if that's his name, to their shock. He cannot protect them in his current state. The chief says to find the Lead Sword.

The chief gives Zero a "Zeta (Z) Card". This will allow him to get into the Guidance Shrine, where the sword is located. Upon entering the shrine, he sees it is a labrynth. Then, a voice speaks to Zero.

"Only those free of sin may pass." "Who…who's there?!"

The sword is past this large gulch. Only those who have not been tainted can pass through here. Wanting to get his memories back, Zero begins to hop across the pillars.

Just then, he notices something and slips, nearly falling into the gulch. The voice mocks Zero, saying that he is tainted. Zero tells the voice to shut up and explains:

"I may want to get my memories back...but that's no excuse to take the life of this bug...isn't it?"

That was the answer the voice was looking for. Zero is transported to the room with the Lead Sword and takes it. His memories begin to return. He is Zero Gundam, the legitimate heir to the Thunder Sword. He had summoned Dragoon, the ultimate proof of that inheritance.

However, there are other successors who have been tainted by evil. Zero names them as Knight Sandias, Knight Mezaldan, and V-Square. That was why he came here. The voice tells him to protect the world from them and is revealed to be Superior Dragon.

Meanwhile, the monsters in Highland Village are reenacting the French Revolution. They are put a stop to by Zero, who recognizes them as Sandias's minions. He plans to go after them, but Shakti tells him that the path is blocked…

By a zone of Minovesky Particles. It is so dense that he cannot advance without the Craft Stone. Zero then has to go to the Craft Shrine to fetch it. Later, Sandias gloats about this until it's revealed that the storm has suddenly disappeared.

Zero cuts through the forces until he reaches where Sandias is. Sandias reveals that Zero was thrown into the sea by a storm while getting here and will now make sure that his life ends here with his machine soldier Gunsword.

Zero acknowledges this. "Come out, Dragoon!!"

To Sandias's shock, Dragoon was summoned. A curse should've been placed on the sword to make it so it couldn't be drawn, but the miracle ring, full of the hopes of the villagers, cancelled it out. As a result, Zero is easily able to take down Sandias.

The battle is over.

Zero exits with the Bell of Time from its according temple. Superior Dragon appears and explains that this will allow him to fight the next opponent, Mezaldan.

He acknowledges this and heads off.

End of Bonus Chapter.

This is actually a loose adaption of the Gameboy game and the actual canon lore behind it is particularly interesting to me.

That will be discussed in the next thread.
