I want to read unfilmable books, written by people who have life experience or at least knowledge of being something other than just fans, and haven't had scriptwriting structure and trends beaten into them. I want writers who are something more than Twitter swinging dicks. I want writers who bring their experience building munitions to their writing, not authors who hide their lucrative dayjob while ebegging. I want stories, not tracts.

In a modern-day world teeming with marauding dragons, there is only one solution: The Wild Hunt. The United States government has decided to hold a tournament called The Wild Hunt to determine who will be responsible for the capture of wild dragons by the Knight Division. The four challengers Noah Wilson, Charlie Howard, Su Jin Han, and Beowulf have to catch five deadly dragons alive if they want to win the tournament and become the new Knight Division dragon hunters. Their journey will take them through the mountains of South Carolina, the seas of Key West, the caverns of Ruby Falls, the Redwood forest, and finally, the murky bayous of Louisiana. Will they succeed against their competition, or will the dragons of the Wild Hunt be too wild to tame? Of Wings and Shadows is the sixth book in the Of Cinder and Bone series. It takes place in medias res of Book Five, Of Claws and Inferno. It follows Of Cinder and Bone, Of Blood and Ashes, Of Dawn and Embers, and Of Fury and Fangs.

Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

I read Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir last week, the sequel to Gideon the Ninth and second in the Locked Tomb series. I read Gideon the Ninth last year and, like Bookshops & Bonedust, finally scrounged around and found a used copy of the sequel so that I could continue with the series.

And, holy shit, this book CONSUMED every bit of brain space I had to spare. I started this book as a way to tell myself, "Come on, stop reading ebooks. Read a physical book, okay? You liked the first one!" I was hoping it would hook me enough to keep me from picking up my ereader. Boy, did it ever.

This book is so incredibly different from the first book. It's also almost impossible to talk about the second book without spoiling the ending of the first book, so I'm going to put the rest of my review under the cut.

This book follows Harrowhark, picking up immediately from the conclusion of the first book. She is mentally devastated from losing Gideon in the way she did, haunting the med bay of God's spaceship like a vengeful ghost. She's hallucinating constantly, hearing thing that aren't there, feeling sensations that aren't real, and especially seeing Gideon or some sort of shade of her haunting her steps. Despite all this, God needs her to step into her role as a Lyctor and start learning how to support him. Because all this time, God has been fighting a secret battle of his own. He needs more Lyctors to help him, which is why he put out the call to all the nine houses in the first place. Now, Harrow needs to struggle against not just her own fractured mind and failing body, but against her fellow Lyctors and their web of cruel lies and assassination attempts.

This book is so dark, guys. But, it's also so much fun. This is the kind of book that makes you constantly question what is real and what isn't. Harrowhark is an unreliable narrator in such an amazing way. While we, the reader, may question whether what she's seeing and hearing is real, so is she! You're on the journey of the mystery with her, but you have the context of the first book to work from, while she does not. It has a small cast, but they feel very dense. The other Lyctors have been alive for 10,000 years, and they all have these laundry lists of problems with each other, while also having a sort of fatalistic affection for one another. Even though the cast and setting are relatively small, it has a similar theme of distrust weaved together with a desperation for survival.

I would recommend that if you're squeamish to look up a list of trigger warnings for this one, especially if you're sensitive to blood and gore or mind games. Or, feel free to ask me and I can put one together. But, if that stuff sounds more enticing than off-putting, I think you should definitely dive into this one. It won't make sense without reading the first book, but I thought it was such a great sequel. I immediately bought the third book, so I'll be reading Nona the Ninth soon. I'm looking forward to it!

New Title Tuesday: Science Fiction & Fantasy

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Earth failed. In a desperate bid to escape, the spaceship Enkidu and its captain, Heorest Holt, carried its precious human cargo to a potential new paradise. Generations later, this fragile colony has managed to survive, eking out a hardy existence. Yet life is tough, and much technological knowledge has been lost.

Then strangers appear. They possess unparalleled knowledge and thrilling technology – and they've arrived from another world to help humanity’s colonies. But not all is as it seems, and the price of the strangers' help may be the colony itself.

This is the third volume in the “Children of Time” series.

I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself by Marisa Crane

In a United States not so unlike our own, the Department of Balance has adopted a radical new form of law enforcement: rather than incarceration, wrongdoers are given a second (and sometimes, third, fourth, and fifth) shadow as a reminder of their crime—and a warning to those they encounter. Within the Department, corruption and prejudice run rampant, giving rise to an underclass of so-called Shadesters who are disenfranchised, publicly shamed, and deprived of civil rights protections.

Kris is a Shadester and a new mother to a baby born with a second shadow of her own. Grieving the loss of her wife and thoroughly unprepared for the reality of raising a child alone, Kris teeters on the edge of collapse, fumbling in a daze of alcohol, shame, and self-loathing. Yet as the kid grows, Kris finds her footing, raising a child whose irrepressible spark cannot be dampened by the harsh realities of the world.

Karma of the Sun by Brandon Ying Kit Boey

Six suns, six blasts in the sky; a seventh one, and the earth will die.

In the isolation of the Himalayas, the snows still fall, but they are tinged with the ash of a nuclear winter; the winds still blow, but they wail with the cries of ghosts. The seventh and final blast is near. As the world heaves its final breaths, the people of the Tibetan plateau—civilization’s final survivors—are haunted by spirits and terrorized by warlords. Though the last of the seven prophesied cataclysms is at hand, young Karma searches for a father who disappeared ten years earlier, presumed dead.

Driven by a yearning to see his father again before the end, and called by an eerie horn unheard by anyone else, Karma forges into the Himalayas and discovers that his father’s disappearance may be linked to a mystical mountain said to connect the physical world with the spirit lands—and a possible way to save their doomed future.

Flux by Jinwoo Chong

In Flux, Jinwoo Chong introduces us to three characters —Bo, Brandon and Blue— who are tortured by these questions as their lives spin out of control.

* After 8-year-old Bo loses his mother in a tragic accident, his white father, attempting to hold their lives together, begins to gradually retreat from the family.

* 28-year-old Brandon loses his job at a legacy magazine publisher and is offered a new position. Confused to find himself in an apartment he does not recognize, and an office he sometimes cannot remember leaving, he comes to suspect that something far more sinister is happening behind the walls.

* 48-year-old Blue participates in a television exposé of Flux, a failed bioelectric tech startup whose fraudulent activity eventually claimed the lives of three people and nearly killed him. Blue, who can only speak with the aid of cybernetic implants, stalks his old manager while holding his estranged family at arms-length.

Intertwined with the saga of a once-iconic '80s detective show, Raider, whose star has fallen after decades of concealed abuse, the lives of Bo, Brandon and Blue intersect with each other, to the extent that it becomes clear that their lives are more interconnected and interdependent than the reader could have ever imagined.

The aesthetic is really nice. I like how a misunderstanding 1000 years ago gets blown up into a legend. The queerness is kinda overt though but maybe that is the point.

Nimona is a 2023 American computer-animated science fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane from a screenplay by Robert L. Baird and Lloyd Taylor. It is based on the 2015 graphic novel of the same name by ND Stevenson. It features the voices of Chloë Grace Moretz, with Eugene Lee Yang and Frances Conroy.

I noticed the colors on Terapagos Shell remind me so much of charkas system. It's already applied that the turtle is based off of Urashima.

Check out the The main game and dlc titles:

Indigo and Violet ( Crown/ Third eye charka)

Teal ( Heart charka)

Scarlet ( root charka)

How even your main character might be something more than what we're seeing at the moment.

Eldritch Frisk

Relevant posts: Dark Lord Kris, Aoife, David Livesey

Master Post

You know what? I'll bite and post this.

- - - - -

Many timelines exist in the multiverse. It's a large place whose limits have yet to be discovered. It stands to reason that some timelines lose members of that timeline, for one reason or another. In a universe where the monsters of the Dreemurr kingdom made it to the surface, all was not well. Frisk and the monster still had conflict to deal with in the form of an ancient darkness that had been sealed away under Mt. Ebott. Frisk tried his best, but his determination wavered and he passed his duty on to a close friend.

What happened next was him fading from reality, in a process referred to as Zeroing-out. His resolve had been called into question so much that he could no longer bear it. What awaited him was the void. As he drifted, he was caught by a chaotic mass of the incomprehensible. This was an immensely strange entity beyond understanding called The Screaming God. Seeing that the boy had abandoned his power, The Screaming God offered Frisk something different: Knowledge. This knowledge would allow Frisk to understand reality (to a degree) and go wherever he pleased (within reason). After spending the equivalent of several eons with The Screaming God and his father, The Great Unspeaker, Frisk set out into a realm called the Unlight.

What Frisk was supposed to do... he wasn't sure about. Really he could do whatever he wanted since the Unlight was so vast and untamed. What else to do other than wander? The now young man saw all sorts of things: bizarre entities, impossible geological formations, strange realms spilling into the Unlight, pockets of civilizations, and things mere mortals could not comprehend. Eventually Frisk would run into interlopers... Context: Being considered an Interloper in the Unlight is quite the accomplishment... and that's not a compliment.

These were corrupted versions of his friends from his old timeline, albeit these individuals were from their own, unique timelines. One in particular was a corruption of a close friend he had fought in worst case scenarios... Frisk would clash with these individuals over the ageless years of the Unlight. These conflicts taught Frisk all sorts of things about the multiverse and his new abilities. One thing that he had kept from his old timeline was his explosion and eruption spells, however. He had a lot of fun perfecting this brand of magic...

Upon reaching proper adulthood, Frisk discovered something: His old timeline was just fine. In fact, it almost seemed like it was calling to him, asking him to come back. He wasn't sure what to do, so he made a mental note of the rift to that universe. He would also leave some of his essence at the rift, just in case he made up his mind. To mull over his thoughts, he decided to go on a smaller journey to explore some odd buildings he had discovered. Of note was a series of older, three-storied houses that looked as if they plucked straight from Earth. They were so oddly familiar to him, but he could not place his finger on it.

After some contemplating on the front porch of the most familiar house, two individuals approached Frisk. One was an imposing, older British doctor and the other was a muscular woman, with glasses and long hair. They introduced themselves as ULTRAMagic Magistrate and ULTRAMagic Devil respectively. They had actually been looking for Frisk for some time as the ULTRAMagic guild had noticed the man's arrival in the Unlight and wanted to keep tabs on him... and give him a place to stay. Frisk would become well acquainted with the ULTRAMagic guild. While he had not achieved ULTRAMagic, he was considered an honorary member.

Little did Frisk realize that he would become wrapped in a massive conflict, spanning multiple universes and timelines, after interacting with a lost individual who would later go on to join the ULTRAMagic Guild...

- - - - -

Timeline: "[ERROR]" does not mean he is from the same timeline as ERROR Sans. I just put that there because I don't plan to unveil his original timeline here. Don't worry, We will get to that in time

Personality: This Frisk is... I don't want to say a quitter, but he will abandon something if it becomes too stressful. He's also reluctant to get involved in other people's affairs. The last major time he tried to help people, it did not go so well. That's not to say he won't help people, however. Naturally he's a loner and prefers to be alone with his thoughts. For a while he considered other people as unnecessary and a detriment to his emotions. On the other hand, getting away from reality did help him as it allowed him to come to terms with his past failings.

Wandering the void gives you a lot of time to think. That doesn't mean he's gung-ho to return to his old timeline, but he'd be lying if he said he was completely against the idea. Of note, members of the ULTRAMagic Guild have been able to get him to open up and be more friendly. Certain events in relation to the guild would also force him to get over his past issues. Aside from his personal baggage, Frisk is naturally a curious individual and loves to play around with things. Search around and you may just find some of Frisk's creations.

Powers: So Frisk was a Soul magic caster, but that changed upon meeting The Screaming God. Given that he lost his old soul, or the power of it, he needed a new type of magic. The Screaming God's knowledge allowed Frisk to become a Weave magic caster. What kind of bond did Frisk have given that the Weave requires bonds for it to work? Despite Frisk being a mood, he did become good friends with The Screaming God. The Screaming God was patient and comforting and was almost like a parent to Frisk, and definitely a mentor to him. This also allowed Frisk to regain some of his old power, due to the residual traces of it that was left in his soul.

So while his magic is weak at the moment, he is working on improving it. What he can do is things like fireballs, minor explosions, invisibility, levitation, and warping. Warping is his favorite as it allows him to go whatever he wants without tiring himself out. All he has to do is focus and clap his hands. A gold and indigo portal will then appear and all he has to do is hop on in. He has full control of the portal and can open and close it as he pleases. The levitation is pretty basic, but allows him to defy gravity and walk wherever he pleases. Invisibility is to be expected as he knew this would come in handy. Plus it allows him to be a mood without people noticing. And the fireballs and explosions? Those are left over from his old powers. Now the castings seem to have a weird, rust and black color to them.

The suit: This suit is something Frisk picked up during his journeys. It seems to be a living suit that is capable of minor shape shifting. The suit can be whatever it wants or whatever Frisk needs it to be... within reason. The suit is also incredibly durable and is able to harden when stricken. The tentacles are a part of the suit that go back and forth between wings, a hooded cloak, and an extra set of limbs. While the suit does not audibly talk, it does communicate with Frisk via his mind. Frisk has come to love the suit despite being apprehensive when he first ran into it. He is protective of the suit and refuses to let anyone else wear it. Some other capabilities of the suit are camouflage, wall crawling, healing, and minor autonomy (in the case Frisk is incapacitated).

- - - - -

This was originally intended for a quasi-Undertale AU I had planned called "HYPERDEATH Alternate." It would have borrowed the canon of ULTRAMagic Alternate and would have involved Deltarune. It was supposed to be a reboot of a previous AU I attempted.

Also I think the Roaring Titans are pretty cool from a cosmic horror angle and I wanted to try something with them. And a big thing is that this AU concept is a response to certain AUs that try to permanently kill off/erase characters. Much like how Undertale is the game doesn't forget, the Cosmos never forgets you.

I have altered this from the original post on DA to be more in line with current UMAE canon. If you see remnants of the old lore, let me know.

If there's enough interest in this concept, I'll definitely resurrect it.
