hello, i am in need of personal advice, preferably from a transfemme person and/or parent, who isn't siobhan because she is Too Close to the situation and i don't want to do anything brash like she does
#cis friend amy fakename and her wife betty fakename got divorced after betty came out and began to transition#they have remained EXTREMELY good friends and everything and coparent really well#amy came over tonight to talk to me about betty's behavior at present#theyve been seperated for just about three years now and betty began transitioning almost five years ago#and everything has been good between them#except amy found out from their seven y/o daughter cassie that bettys (married poly) gf stays over during her week with cassie#the kind of thing that wouldve been fine except that its out of the blue and amy had to hear it from a seven yo child#same with cassie going to a sleepover with a friend and finding out —again from cassie—that betty also stayed the night#and slept with one of cassie's friends moms#and apparently numerous other things that amy didnt want to get into so i get the feeling i would be even more pissed#but every time amy tries to discuss any kind of groundrules about strangers around cassie#especially ones that 1) any doesnt know anything about amd 2) are likely not permanent#betty says that she is being transphobic for asking that she doesn't just sleep with people while cassie is there and aware#i do not know how to like#help them#siobhan is firmly on amy's side and i am too#but i dont know what i can actually do thats helpful or actionable that wont hurt either of them#cuz i do believe that betty needs to have some boundaries when there is a CHILD involved#and a child tasked with keeping secrets at that#i just dont know how to support or how to talk to betty or if i even SHOULD cuz this is a new one for all of us#we created a lil family at the shop but somehow amy and betty are the only ones with kids#none of us know how to handle this cuz they dont know when to even ask us to do#if there is anything

Uhmm Lyric Lore?? She’s really interesting to me! P sure she’s either some sorta Demi goddess or related to the gods in ur story and I wanna know a bit about that!
Aha not me getting interested in Lucid Shard
😳
BRO YOU CAN TOTALLY ASK I HAVE SO MUCH LORE THAT I JUST HIDE ESPECIALLY OF JERICHO AND LYRIC SO LIKE MF ASK AHEAD
ok but she isnt a demigod anymore that whole concept is kinda scrapped??? instead shes an actual titan, which arent really around anymore because of this big war they led against the gods and oh no they are bad nobody likes titans yadayada, theyre in purgatory or something like that
her papa (if you can call him that really) was their leader and was the one who kinda forced the others into participating, they were heavily mistreated for no other reason than that they controlled things that were supposedly negative
he was the titan of wrath/rage, cant decide which one i want to call it but yea
he had this scythe that was his main weapon and he really cared about it and it was like a extension of him and a third eye, same as all the gods do with their cool weapons and stuff
so right as he was about to be sent away he turned that scythe into a dormant being, which was lyric
she kinda crashed onto earth and didnt wake up, but after a while she got disturbed by a mining project nearby and kinda just slaughtered all of them because she is DEFINITELY strong enough to do that kind of thing with a snap of her fingers
obvs the gods would detect that kind of thing since she caused a massive fucking crater, they took her with them and were originally plotting to just kill her or smthn but decided that if they failed and she was still alive and hurt she could attack them and might actually kill one of them
so they shoved her at young jericho who was like "yo what" but was super happy to have some kind of friend/attention because his dad was an asshole stupid bitch neglectful motherfucker
it wouldve been fine except that lyric had some kind of trait thing with her, like a second personality that heavily resembles her papa, it comes out when shes feeling any kind of negative emotion or if shes heavily drunk
she has heterochromia, one eye red and one eye blue, but they both turn red sometimes if she gets really upset
she also has a small indent on her left hand, which is also the side her red eye is on, its of a pentagram and its a birthmark thing and it glows red sometimes
her dad was also left handed which is why thats where it appeared
she also has nightmares of that war and it freaks her out because she has the same memories that the eye of the scythe saw
her dad constantly tries to manipulate her or speak to her but shes learned to shut him out, he keeps trying to coax her into taking his place
OK MORE FUN STUFF NOW WOOHOOOOOOOOOO
she really likes rock music which is why she joined a band she loves them a lot :]]]]
since she eats ambrosia her tongue, spit, blood etc. are all pomegranate flavored bc it has that side effect LOLLL (also if you know what pomegranates do in greek mythology hahahdhaha lore thing)
she also has goat-ish pupils, 1. hell reference 2. i just thought it was super cute
oh and like a cool fact, shes not actually a cat, her actual form is very different, although she never takes that form nor does she know that she has it
basically the gods gave her a cat form permanently so 1. she would be less intimidating and 2. because she really super liked cats and showed a big interest in them
she has red electricity as a power, and can create little portal thingies
her hair is actually SUPER spiky but she keeps it down with the little hat
OK THAT WAS LONG SORRY BUT I HAVE BEEN WORKING A LOT I KNOW I DONT POST ABT IT BUT YEA <3

Malevolent Au
It’s not complete, but on the Felinette Discord we made an au based off the song ‘Queen of Mean’!
@unmaskedagain idk if this’ll help you get ideas, since I found your fic after I made the au, but I hope you like it anyways!
Me - Black, Bee - Orange, Lefty - Blue
Okay but guys
A modified version of ‘Queen Of Mean’ as an akumanette
Idk if this has a bittersweet ending or a bad ending but either way it’s salty and not ending in the class’s favor
Her akuma item would probably be her ribbons because I don’t want that for tikki
I’m thinking that Akumanette has an outfit that looks like a suit but there’s a skirt-tail type thing that ends at her ankles. Idk how to explain it other than it’s fancy but practical
It’s black and red
There’s black paint on her face that serves as the mask and she has her hair in a braided ponytail and she has a circlet with black framing and a red gem in the center
She’s terrifying and one of the more fashionable akumas
I don’t have the story fully fleshed out but smth happens that Lila blames Marinette for and Alya, when she’s yelling at Marinette, calls her the ‘Queen of Mean’ and Marinette, tired of literally everything just says ‘if that’s what you think, then fine’ in this really cold tone before storming off
Maybe she goes to the theater room or something, she just goes to an empty classroom to rant
She’s too exhausted to fight back the akuma and maybe Tiki says ‘you deserve a break, it’s not healthy to keep all these emotions bottled up, I know you won’t do anything bad’ but just to be safe Marinette takes out the earring before the akuma gets close so it possesses the ribbons instead
Akumanette (who I will be calling Malevolent for the time being) manages to get CN’s ring and the other miraculi too, but instead of going to Hawkmoth she goes to her room to hide them before going on the hunt for Hawkmoth because she needs his miraculous too
I have no doubt that she toys with them, picking them off one by one
Then gets Hawkmoth in a big spectacular moment
Or maybe she's made copies of the miraculous for cosplay and goes to meet him with those, the old switcheroo and she takes him out while hes distracted
Could be interesting if, as part of her power, she could corrupt the miraculouses and give them to the people who upset/offended her. But instead of giving them powers, they were warped to instead punish the wearer in a way that fits the miraculous's original intent. Kinda a reversal on the way she gave out the miraculouses and granted powers before. Like, the Black Cat Miraculous, it causes the person to relive their most painful memories as the element of destruction, and the fox one forces the wearer to tell the truth no matter what, or traps them in an illusion or something.
And maybe how she goes to a new school. And meeting the others was maybe when shes revealed as the akuma she claims shes had enough of her classmates shit and exposes what they did to her live on tv and her parents transfer her because of all the stress they put her under. She's never become an akuma before. And just because of one lying little brat, their daughter has become one of the strongest akumas they've ever seen
And she gives the miraculi back to Fu apologizing out her butt for everything...but he just lets her keep the earrings, fearing that something grander may be at scale...but he refuses to give the ring back to Adrien because had he been by Mari's side, they wouldve been able to prevent the akuma and help Mari over come Lie-la.
And now Fu chooses a new Black Cat for Mari....
I would assume that the peacock is still lost....maybe Adri could find it amd becomes determined to get both his ring and. "His" lady back from that Fake Cat
And maybe before the ring gets taken Adrien has no idea who the akuma is because Marinette returns to class all normal if just closed off and even after he doesn’t know until it’s revealed to everyone. The whole of Paris is wondering where tf LB is everyone Malevolent shows her face
Or she could claim that she took the earrings before Ladybug even had a chance~
So the whole of Paris is rightly terrified
And the QK kids are slightly cautious but they see the nerd trip and get flustered then they just decide that she's totally fine to hang out with
Ooh why would they be cautious?
The QK would totally be the ones to find out Marinette’s the akuma first and they’re all really concerned for their friend because she’s been an akuma for MONTHS now and what happened that made her such a powerful akuma?
But if she just transformed back and went to the new school, wouldnt u be cautious too
Like
ThTS THE GIRL WHO BROUGHT PARIS TO ITS KNEES TO BEG FOR MERCY
and she chose mercy
Imagine...what it would take to bring her, the strongest akuma to kill all of Paris
(I should probably point out that I’m still going off the idea that Marinette is still Malevolent when she goes to her new school, feel free to ask for clarification if you’re still confused)
“Be wary of the quiet ones, the sweet ones, the kind ones, because they’re the ones with the saddest smiles, the darkest pasts. They’re the ones you watch out, for even demons run when good men go to war.”
Hawkmoth, once he realizes that Malevolent is on the prowl for him, tries to call back the akuma, but because of Marinette’s sheer stubborn will power and the help of Nooroo he can’t do it
So he’s basically useless as Malevolent numbers his days as a super villain
Maybe Malevolent only comes out at night. She has less chance of being seen, less chance of being caught
Except that just makes her 10x more terrifying because in the daylight she’s scary enough as it is, but at night the shadows highlight only half of her face and it makes her harder to see
Maybe Malevolent decides to torment her classmates first before picking off the heroes, so perhaps by the time she’s at her new school and prowling at night she’s picking off the heroes one by one
Maybe she does it slowly instead of night by night
And like the first half is her taking the heroes and Hawk down while the other half if her recovering and learning about the new villain and her new allies
She fucking stalks her classmates, planting incriminating evidence. Maybe for Lie-la she records the girl bragging about her lies and how much shes dragged Mari through the mud while shes at home, then the next morning a video is released on the Ladyblog....
The class is rightly scared out of their pants because there’s an akuma after them but they don’t know who and she hasn’t been caught yet
LB is gone and Malevolent, even in the daylight, is hard to see so other than the major bad luck and her first debut there’s almost no trace of her
Her debut was video taped so Paris knows that there’s an akuma on the loose but she’s so quiet that it leaves everyone on edge
Maybe while Malevolent is hunting Hawkmoth she stops other villains like low level (and high profile) criminals and outs corrupt politicians and the likes
And they've obviously taken poor Mari because Mari could never get akumatized! Shes too good!
Oooh!! Going back on the ‘Mari can change out of villain form’ maybe the only proof she’s Malevolent in her civilian form is that her ribbons are a darker red than they should
And poor Mari makes herself smaller and scared hah, as if. These idiots dont know whats gonna hit them.... she looks...terrified~
Her parents try and reassure her that the akuma will be caught and Mari feels bad for tricking them but at the same time she’s still angry so that anger outweighs the guilt
Marinette is paler than she was before akumatization and maybe her eyes are a bit more dull
Or perhaps just a smidge too bright
It’s not noticeable, but there’s just something.. off about her eyes
They look... almost brighter than they should be
Maybe too attentive
Too... analytical
But then the look is gone and perhaps you were just imagining it?
That seems likely
The QK, when they first meet Marinette, adopt her immediately because she’s so pale and small and she looks so tired
And at first Marinette is wary but after Claude trips and falls flat on his face trying to cheer her up she warms up to them
Then one day someone gets a clear full body shot of Malevolent and while QK are looking at it Marinette approaches them and they start noticing... similarities
Like how her ribbons are the same color as her circlet, or how her eyes hold the same wary attentiveness and are the same bright blue
And maybe they try to deny it
But it’s all there
I’m still trying to figure out how Marinette reveals herself as Malevolent
Perhaps a rude encounter with her classmates? Maybe someone tries attacking her friends (Hawkmoth has resorted to using the peacock miraculous at the point maybe) and she saves them??
When she transforms her ribbons wrap around her in a whirlwind
That’s all we got!! Maybe it’ll be continued on, maybe it won’t, but it was super fun to think up!

Earnest Discussions with Velo C. Raptor, #1
My Experiences with Bumbleby
I wanna try expressing my opinions & opening up a little bit here, if no one minds. This’ll be a first in a bunch of personal discourses, if anyone wants to see these kinds of posts from me. So as I am making my presence known on this site (probably a bad idea), I’ve been representing myself as a Bumbleby shipper. I wouldn’t say I’m the most devout shipper out there, nor do I really want to be viewed in that way, but when there’s a pairing that I really enjoy I’ll latch onto it tight. And Bumbleby happens to be one of them. Why do I enjoy it so much you may ask? Well, let’s dive right into that.
When I was first getting into anime, with Fullmetal Alchemist & Attack on Titan being my firsts, I was really getting into it. But my interests in most of the shows I watched died out as I finished them, and I felt a little empty without a show to be obsessed with. I was also an avid fan of Red Vs Blue at the time, so when they first announced RWBY as I was getting into anime, I was really interested. After watching the trailers, I was hooked. After watching the very first episode, I was in love with it. Granted, I didn’t like Volume 2 all that much (despite the bees’ dance), so my interests in it did die a little; that was quickly remedied by Volume 3, and then I was officially obsessed.
So while watching RWBY in its early years, I came to a few conclusions that others may have had at first: that Cinder Fall was the biggest bad, Adam Taurus was supposed to be some sort of mysterious badass (cue vomit in mouth), and everyone was gonna have a happy ending of some kind. Oh, and there was also something really important I concluded at the time: I thought everybody was straight. To me, it looked like almost everyone had a love interest of the opposite gender, such as Jaune & Pyrrha, Ren & Nora, Weiss & Neptune… and Sun & Blake. I didn’t really look hard enough into the show to think otherwise; I just assumed that Sun and Blake were gonna hook up while Yang was just gonna have her adventures happily by herself or with Ruby. It didn’t really bother me when I thought Rooster Teeth was gonna go for an all straight romance; I was pretty much fine with it because I would support the show I enjoy no matter what. Although admittedly, I did find that somewhat boring.
So if I thought RWBY was gonna go a heteronormative route, what got me into Bumbleby? Back to me first getting into anime: a thing I would do was go on the internet and search the shows I watched in the hopes of finding more content, which was how I came upon the world of fanfics and fanart. I remember how I’d look for & read FMA fanfics nonstop. RWBY was no exception; thus, I was introduced to Bumbleby through the fan-made works of its supporters (same for White Rose, which is also my favorite but a guilty pleasure because I think it’s much less likely to be canon). At first I was confused by such work, thinking ‘why would anybody ship Blake and Yang together if Blake had Sun?’ It didn’t make sense to me at first, but I found myself drawn to the numerous depictions of Blake & Yang together nonetheless.
And then it hit me: they look good together. GREAT, in fact. I was stunned, never having thought that such a relationship could have ever been conceived before. It was as if nothing could compare, nor the other RWBY ships could stand up to it. Not even Arkos, probably one of if not the most significant ship in RWBY, was designed so perfectly like Bumbleby was. Just everything about those two complimented & contrasted with each other so well – black against yellow, amber eyes complementary to lilac ones, and their fantasy inspirations intermingling with one another. The more I would find fanart and fanfics of it, the more I would fall in love with it. It was by far the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen, and it was the works of other fans that convinced me that they were the perfect ship.
But to me at first, it didn’t look like Rooster Teeth agreed with that train of thought. I still believed that they were gonna put everyone in a straight romance (and by that I mean I still thought Blake and Sun were gonna hook up). I didn’t really have any of the investigative skills I have now to look deeper into the show to think otherwise, though I did question moments in the show that wouldn’t have made sense for a friendship-Bumbleby or a romantic-Black Sun. Still, I was certain that Blake & Yang were straight at first, so I pretty much made Bumbleby a guilty pleasure. Honestly, I would’ve still supported Rooster Teeth and RWBY if they went with Black Sun, as I didn’t fall for the series simply for the romance.
Then Volume 4 came out, then Volume 5, and now Volume 6. Now, I have come to new conclusions: RWBY has a bigger n’ better bad in the form of Salem, Adam is the bull-horned bastard that he is who deserved damnation, and everything is a lot more greyer than previously thought (as in not morally black and white). Oh, and I concluded something else that’s really important: not everybody is straight. Black Sun turned out to be a friendship more so than a romance; Yang and Blake were painfully missing each other during their separation; then they were reunited and that’s all that matters (music reference haha); everything just started pointing towards a deeper relationship between the ex-partners. Bumbleby was more than likely to be canon, and it pretty much is at this point. Their stories were practically woven together, setting everything up for them to be together. Everything about Bumbleby just seemed right now. I couldn’t have been more elated.
So some individuals outside the Bumbleby fandom may think that I’m “delusional” for believing in its confirmation. Some of those people may think I’m approving of something “toxic” (which is a ridiculous sentiment might I add). Frankly, I don’t care for any negative things others might say about my preferences. This is the internet, only real life can hurt my feelings. It also never matters to me if the characters in a canon or non-canon ship are of the same gender & sexuality or not, what matters is that they’re depicted to be happy and in love. I ship two characters I adore because it makes me happy. Frankly, I’m always afraid of never finding a special someone. The thought of not having a partner and living alone severely depresses me, and I have these thoughts constantly. But when I see two amazing characters I appeal to in a happy, healthy, and fantastically developed relationship, especially one like Bumbleby, it will always give me a little hope for my own future. Or if a ship’s simply canon then I’ll just love it like a blind puppy dog.
So I guess that’s all I have to say. I enjoy the Bees, they’re on their way to canonization if not already, and I couldn’t be happier. I also couldn’t be more thankful for the contributions of others in the RWBY fandom to Bumbleby. If I didn’t find the passion behind Bumbleby that others have, a passion I learned to share & understand, I’d probably be a generally more miserable person than a joyful one. Thank you for taking your time to read this earnest discussion. If anyone wants to see more of these from me, please be sure to let me know. Also, send me any asks if you want me to elaborate on anything!

[17:09] nevs: yeah, what’s up?
[17:11] mione: Do you think sue might be [17:11] mione: Trans or something?
[17:11] nevs: huh. [17:11] nevs: i guess i’d never thought of it but. [17:11] nevs: i suppose it’s entirely possible? [17:12] nevs: especially because she’s been wearing her hijab more often.
[17:12] mione: Yeah [17:12] mione: Wait but why would that mean shes trans?
[17:13] nevs: well, she has really long hair, and when she’s not wearing a hijab she usually has it in a braid because it’s easier to manage, right?
[17:13] mione: Yeah I know what hou mean [17:13] mione: You
[17:13] nevs: but it’s also a constant reminder that she has hair. [17:13] nevs: i mean, i was talking to luna the other day? [17:14] nevs: and he mentioned that on his masculine days he like to put his hair up, but only when he’s feeling really dysphoric. [17:14] granger: so now that i think about it in that light, it makes a lot of sense - [17:15] nevs: her hair goes into a bun when she puts it up, and it’s tight so she doesn’t have to think about it so much.
[17:15] mione: Oh [17:15] mione: Yeah that makes sense [17:16] mione: Thanks Neville
[17:16] nevs: no problem! [17:16] nevs: i probably wouldn’t go around sharing this with everyone, though. [17:16] nevs: especially because we don’t really know if it’s true or not.
[17:17] mione: Yeah of course

[17:41] luna: she’s fine, i promise. [17:42] luna: i would tell you if she told me anything that i found concerning.

thooough kevlar is supposed to stop bullets, ya. so in theory, even if the Captain had managed to get the shot off, Esther could have still been reasonably fine. understandably shaken and probably bruised, but fine. of course that also depends on what GUN the Captain actually has? like ive basically been working off something thats not remotely automatic. no burst fire. basically a semi auto. a rifle would be ideal except that the scenario is is close quarters, making a rifle pretty fucking stupid, so it has to be some sort of handgun. raising the question Why does he have a handgun if the military is expected to be at range, and how did he get the scenario to let him get so close as to invalidate his rifle?
also he probably would actually have an auto of some kind, but for dramatic purposes id rather not? simply because then its far more difficult for him to be disarmed without basically killing Esther in the meantime. if its semi-auto, then in theory he can fire one shot that misses and then be disarmed before a second bullet can be fired. if he has an auto, you squeeze the trigger and youve already launched a small volley and even if Seora bends the goddamn world to stop it, at LEAST one would likely hit Esther, not to speak of the multitude more bullets that could then be fired between the initial trigger pull and the disarm from Seora. so for dramatic purposes he cannot have an automatic. like a full auto.
which then means the actual circumstances surrounding the shot have to be changed in order for him to even be capable of using his semi auto rifle with any confidence. which works fine, i suppose. maybe the reasoning behind the military having semi autos rather than full autos is because they’d likely want to be picking off combatants at range with a /degree/ of stealth. considering in general the combatants are Blue Mages that’d be pretty important. the moment they’re alerted, you basically can’t really get them as easily. immediate dirt wall, immediate scalding hot guns, etc. toasty. so like.... i guess like sniper rifles???? except theyre just.... regular rifles..... yknow actually that doesnt make a fuck ton of sense. hold on. uh.
actually, one important thing re: guns is that they were likely invented AFTER the schism and after any fighting between the two countries. so the guns would never have actually been used for their intended purpose, that being to shoot Dusk Maidens before they can use magic. So they are unlikely to have been field tested in the practical sense. plus theres the fact that metals are rare in the Light Kingdom, so they might have been limited in terms of just how much progression they could make on this front. so since there hasnt been open warfare since like 300 years ago, the military’s non-sword equipment is probably Pretty Ordinary. technologically behind the times relative to the rest, mostly due to the structure of the kingdom separating Maidens from crafts. unlike the Dark Kingdom, which likely has a stronger technological basis, with stronger and more advanced weaponry, armor, etc, especially if its derived from metallic substances. more “organic” substances would be the realm of the Light Kingdom. so its a bit complicated. so the light kingdom probably has these older style of guns because they decided, well, the guns dont matter TOO bad as long as theyve got decent range and dont break. we’ll focus our limited metallic resources onto things like phones and shit.
meanwhile the dark kingdom would have a far greater industry for weapons, with their Warrior Maidens being Fucking Kitted Out. the actual Dusk Maidens among them wouldnt have guns (no real need, tbh) but the few human members would, they’d all have decent armor. the onl downside is that this tech is the only thing the dark has OVER the light, because they still lack in more organic resources like GD food. they’ve got a few farms clear of darkness that are responsible for a majority of organic produce, a few people manage to scrape out tiny farms in their homes, some people have come up with the idea to dig up piles of tainted dirt and place them in pots to then be cleansed, allowing them to grow shit like tomatoes or carrots or smth. meats are rare because the only consistent sources of animals are mountain dwelling, and over hunting probably already forced a few species to extinction. fish is still available on their limited coastline (the light kingdom kept almost all of the coast following the civil war) but its not ideal by any stretch and they certainly dont have ENOUGH of it.
uh shit so i guess like.... the light kingdom have great tech in terms of software and such, while the dark kingdom has stronger “practical tech” like industrial shit. we got good cars, we got good infrastructure (except in some particularly bad joints), got good weapons, etc. niice.
ok so then. light kingdom has shit guns, probably timelocked to a specific era. potentially circa a time JUST before the civil war, as that would have allowed the proto-dusk maidens to help in their creation and lay down the groundwork for their blueprint to be slowly adapted by the light kingdom. so thats like..... uh...... can that be semi auto???? i suppose with the use of magic itd be fairly uncomplicated for the advancement of tech to be faster than our own. so if the story itself takes place around 2000, even though in our world the first semi auto wasnt until the 1880s, with magic being present its not unfeasible for them to have been successfully made ~300 years ago, so the 1700s (perhaps late? or maybe just 200, so 1800s still, but earlier than us). except then following this there was the civil war and the separation of the two countries, separating the light kingdom and their human-exclusive military to these semi auto rifles that they couldnt really improve without significant expense. so theyre probably timelocked to the early 1900s? maybe up to around the M1 Garand? which is still a solid weapon, but not like, a machine gun or anything. whereas the dark could easily have continued tech progression past this point up to present day, so they’d have shit like..... uh... whats a really modern gun. idk. get shit like AR15s and M14s at any rate, or even just the AK47 (i couldnt remember that for the life of me, wild). though again, considering the fact that the majority of the military possessed magic, the extreme advancement of guns was definitely not a priority for the people, so i dont need to get /super/ modern. jsut modern enough to where you could easily fuck up a guy with an M1 Garand which wouldnt be difficult, surely. maybe even a lil further cback from the M1, w/e, shit like that.
however the lack of general gun usage from the Dark, and the general understanding from the light that their military is exclusively magical in nature (which was true for quite a while) light military protection is PURELY against magical shit. a human Warrior Maiden with a gun could very easily kill any number of light military troops, because they simply arent prepared for be fired upon. which would be a fun revelation at the climax for the Captain, when his troop headed for the castle’s main room is under a hail of fire and many of them are easily killed because No Fucking Shit, lads. meanwhile the dark military is aware of the solely human military and very capable of understanding the guns they use. they’d only need to recover a SINGLE gun from the troops (likely during the first failed attempt to recover Seora) to work out exactly what sort of defences they’d need in order to fight the light side safely, ie how many layers of the Good Stuff. really, provided the dark are prepared (they sure are) they would easily, at this stage, win a war. the only way to lose would be ambush, having their tech reverse engineered (a little tricky but technically possible) and running out of food. a quick war would easily favor them.
so then, in THIS case, that means when the Captain reaches the castle for the second time in his second brave quest to save the maiden Seora, his squad is substantially smaller than it was at the start. they specifically probably weren’t under fire, as they would have entered through the back rather than the through the dusk maiden army guarding the front gates. but its in the lead up, after the first shot WAS fired (by the light army under someones command, probably not the Captain’s specifically) that he wouldve lot a solid number. mild earthquakes, raging heat, bullets?????? the army basically served to divert attention while they dove the fuck for cover and his squad went ‘oh shit, time to go NOW’ and bolted for it. a few of them might have been shot as they ran. idk. good fun! then they get into the castle through the same entrance they used the LAST time (it was at least partially deliberately left open. there are folk waiting on the inside but theyre basically in shadows just in CASE)
so when the captain enters the room with Esther and Seora and the other small group of Dusk Maidens who are present, he is probably one of the few if not the only person in the room with a gun. his troops likely dropped theirs in the chaos (either from the quakes or the heat, or just general pants shitting terror). he’s got his gun out. everyones ready to fuck up, but noones firing off yet. he’s probably yelling something about it being Esther’s last chance to turn over Seora before more people are killed, Esther’s going all ‘yea cool but a) my troops are winning by all accounts and b) youre the idiot who didnt listen LAST time you came here! she doesnt want to go’ seora going ‘right. fuck you’ captain ‘>:o thats it!’ and then fires on Esther. Seora makes that first shot miss, but now the dusk maidens are fucking Ready to Fight and leap forward. before the captain can take a second shot at Esther, Seora and Esther disarm him (making the gun too hot to hold and then flinging it the fuck away with that Windy Business) and then that whole long fucking post from last night ensues. nice!
which is cool. but i THINK, looking at tech, the M1 miiiight be too strong for kevlar. might? im not positive. numbers are confusing and im bad at math. but i thiiiiiiiiiink its penetration velocity is too high for ordinary layers of kev. yea no theyre too high. hold up. we need to back up the semi auto time frame a little. plus, m1s can do 40-50 rounds a min, thats a few too many. oh bitch i can bring back the model 8, oh fuck yea, i love the model 8. oh perfect. mm yup thats a good one. ok so that means that roughly speaking, light kingdom gun advances stop in the early 1900s, with dark kingdom advancements continue up till around the 1950s. its a bit fiddly because the light probably did have resources left over from before the civil war that allowed them to continue development for a while, but if we basically stick to model 8 era (not 81, generally). but because the dark kingdom contained the majority of the experts (even if a number woulda eaten dust from that Dark Plague Nuke) they’re far closer to that M1 level. M1s, AKs, the fun shit, really. that shit and beyond. meaning that, in theory, sufficient layers of kevlar (approx 6-8?) could block a model 8 shot (at range, anyway) allowing for the dark to be Kitted The Fuck Out. niiiice.
i lost my train of thought because of my mum which is pretty bad because this post is incredibly stream of consciousness...... dammit.
uh tl;dr dark side better weapons, armour, and infrastructure. light side better organic industry (farming and fabrics, also glass shit). dark side has jack all food and relies on limited coastal fishing and a few specific mountain creatures plus their limited farmland.
gun? light kingdom stuck at arooooouuunnnnddd model 8 level tech. its a good gun, and it gets the job done, that job being to shoot maidens before they can fire back. it was developed before the civil war and proved instrumental in many of the fights. however, in the time SINCE then, they havent progressed at all. the dark kingdom has continued to progress, especially in terms of armour (w/ the goods like Kevlar available for all Warrior Maidens) and they have stuff closer to m1 garands. the dusk maidens dont typically use guns, but the human members of the Warrior Maidens are usually given them. for uh, obvious reasons.
unrelated aside - most of the gems used by the Light Kingdom are made of glass, due to the lack of actual gemstones on their side of the border. just sorta how it goes

Story idea, i dont actually do this sort of thing. Dont arrest me. Please. Theo- drug ring leader, gang leader and head pimp. Jeorge- poor kid who gets caught up in a rough crowd and is pulled down under by the sex industry. In this world, sex sells. I should know. I do alot of unusual work. Hell, im next in line to inherit the "family bussiness." Im just a poor teen who got caught up with the wrong crowd. Separated from my family at the age of 14 really gets to your head. Im not who i once was. Im nobody. I deal drugs. Its what i was taught to do. I know all the slang and know how to measure and even how to cheat on the client. Im one of the lucky ones. I dont have to use my body to make it in this house. Im the muscle. I work heavy hours guarding my leader and scaring the kids of this house. My brother went missing four years ago.  I keep looking through his treehouse and even the windows hoping ill catch a glimpse of his body. He used to sit up there all day and talk to the walls. He would bring his friends up there and they wouldnt come down until supper. My mom never cooked. She had her boyfriend Louis do it for us. Thats the kind of hold she had over him i guess. He would come in through the back door and his friends would be trailing behind.  Drugs, sex and gangs I remember when my mother used to tell me never to do drugs or alcohol and get good grades in school. I really believed in what she told me, i was drugphobic, even the slightest mention of marijuana got me taking off to find another place. I was so naive. Im  My face hurts so fucking much right now. My ribs feel like theyre cracked and my heart is crushed. After that night we spent together he avoided me. I knew he felt the same fucking way i felt about him. I know he did. It didnt matter that we from two different worlds. He was a dealer and i was a prostitute. We slept in the same room that night. He had started out like me but had branched out into drugs after begging the head of his department for a different job. He grabbed him by the arms and shoved him into theos office. Theo broke him in that night and shoved him into my room. He was woken up early along with myself "Reed, Jeorge... Theo wants you in his office." Reyla informed us. She stood beside us while we dressed, always in a rush. Reed pushed his hair out of his eyes and pulled on jeans and torn t shirt. Reyla escorted us quickly and quietly to Theo's office and pushed us through he door. "Red and Jeo. My two favourite kicking bags. Red weve got a new shipment in. You deal tonight, deal at least six bags of coke and maybe i wont kill you. Leave. Dont get caught, or i swear, youre gonna be stuck in jail by yourself." Red stared at the ground and nodded. Theo gestured for Jaylen to take him out of there. "Jeo, you work two clients tonight. Make sure they have a good time. We need that money." I stared at my brother. At his different appearance. The way his hair was short in some places and longer in others. The begs enshrouding his eyes. His eyes. Those blank dead eyes. He was skinny and tall and his ribs poked his shirt. He crossed his arms and Tell me how to feel Avatar korra in the underground bending arena Au where sasukes mom adopts naruto and they grow up together for a while until theyre both six Except they dont think of each other as brothers. They are best friends. Then itachi kills the family leaving naruto and sasuke together. They are thrown into konoha school together but alone without family. They cling to each other. Then the akatsuki sweeps through the town and sees two young boys scavenging for scraps. Hidan feels for them, remembering the old days where he used to scavenge. He takes them in and offers them a home with the akatsuki. Its a huge house on the outskirts of both villages. Nobody suspects a thing and they are loved. "Itachi, we wanted to ask your opinion on something." His mom greeted him one day, as he stepped in through the door. "Hello mother, father. What is it?" He asked, carefully measured. "Well, we want you to come sit with us. Come sit down." He heard the distress in his mothers voice, the way a voice was when it was on the verge of tears. He noticed his father's set jaw and his red eyes, like he had been crying earlier.  Itachi dropped he satchel on the floor and slid his shoes off, numbly. "Whats wrong?" He questioned, concerned. "Its Kushina and Minato. They did not make it through the night. Theyre dead." She breathed out. Itachi felt that weigh down on his chest, and his breath leave him. Minato? Kushina? They had been so close... Both families. Minato had been like an uncle... Kushina an aunt. No... They couldnt be. "Minato... Hes so strong. Hes elite! He couldnt die... Kushina.. Oh... S-she was pregnant.. Did the baby make it?" His mother extended her arms out for Itachi to stumble towards, just as she had done for him since he could remember. Whenever he had had nightmares and for the delivery of bad news. Itachi felt her embrace him and felt her shudder. So he shuddered and everyone was crying, even his father, whom never showed any emotion. He let out small whimpers and then wails. They were all in pain. When it all stopped his mother stroked his hair and rubbed his back absentmindedly. His father cleared his throat, and seemed to put the emotional blockers back up again. "It is very sad indeed. But.. the little boy of theirs did survive. Nobody wants him, for reasons unknown to myself. We were thinking of taking him in. So he has some sort of family to fall back on." Itachi widened his eyes. He nodded his head fast and hard. His father smiled that perfect smile and touseled his hair. "Thats my boy. We will have to ask the permission of the third, before filling out papers. Hes still so young... Im so glad nothing ever happens here. We have so much trust in one another. Sasuke will be so loved. Naruto as well, if we can." The next morning Itachi's mother got both boys ready to go for a trip to the konoha hospital. When they looked in through that little baby nursery glass, they spotted a small blonded headed baby. He was smiling and staring at the ceiling, like he could sense the warm presence all around him. Itachis mother's stomach twisted with a mix of hope and disgust. How the nine tails could be inside something so pure was beyond her. How that awful noise could be tormenting the baby boy... And yet he looked so peaceful, smiling at the ceiling. He had short blonde hair, whiskers and when he opened his eyes they were bright baby blue. "He looks just like Minato.. Kushina..." She whispered. "We better do it soon, mother. We got to get him in our house and love him." Itachis mother gave him a sincere smile and they made their way to the hokages office. "You want to adopt the uzumaki boy?" The hokage asked, taking off his hat. "Naruto, yes." "I dont doubt that you have a fine home, Mrs. Uchiha, its just that... The boy is bad luck. Do you think you could care for him?" "You think hes bad luck?! Hes a baby! Kushina wouldve wanted Naruto, to be loved. Not to be ridiculed by every single villager who lives here." The third blew smoke out of his mouth and sighed. "I suppose youre right... As it stands, he has no living relatives to care for him... Hes an orphan." "So... Can i fill out some papers?" The third put up his hands and smirked. "As you wish." After the papers were filled out the hokage stood up "Go ahead and take him. Wait." He whistled and a silver haired ninja appeared at the window. "Hokage sama." He whispered and bowed. "Retrieve the uzumaki baby and bring him here." The boy looked up startled. He just seemed to notice the uchihas standing there. "H-hokage sama... Where is Naruto going to be put?" "The uchihas wish to adopt him. Theyve got excellent housing and a loving home. Nobody else will take him, so it stands to reason..." "I told you already i would do it. I would take him in for Minato sensei, and kushina." "Kakashi... Youre only 14. Please. Do as i say. You can still have contact with him as you wish." Kakahi looked full of tears and he nodded bitterly and hopped away. "Kakashi is a nice boy. Very capable as a ninja, but so very hurt emotionally." Itachi stared at the place where the boy had been. He appeared not even a minute later with Naruto in hand. He whsipered to the boy and handed him to Itachi. "Take care of him for Minato sensei and Kushina." He croaked and left the room by way of door. Shiek Link Green link Legend of zelda overworld guitar Zelda song of storms Gerudo valley
