Wasp

Max, Cecilia, Lando, Alex and Charles were standing on stage for a quick interview, the fans were watching, holding signs and calling their names. 

Cecilia was standing between Max and Lando. Alex was being asked a question, so the female took a moment to look at the crowd. She laughed at a sign that had Charles saying it was an inchident on it. 

She was pointing it out to Lando before they were attacked. A girly scream escaped Lando as he held Cecilia to hide behind her. The female tried to get away, also scared. 

"Let go of me! Lando!" She screamed trying to dodge the wasp that was attracted to the orange dressed duo. Cecilia pushed Lando and hid behind Max holding his bicep. It all happened in a matter of seconds. The fans were laughing, Lando was on the floor and Cecilia held onto Max. the flying insect seemed to not give up, flying around the couple now. “MAX!”

Max felt her hand dig in his bicep, he moved so he was between Cecilia and the wasp. Alex took one of the cue cards from the presenter and tried to swat the bug away. Cecilia was seen looking over Max’s shoulder, Lando was on his feet far away from the action, and Cahrles just stood amused by this whole ordeal. Everytime Max tried to move Cecilia wouldn’t let him. Finally Alex managed to swat the wasp away and it disappeared just as fast as it appeared. Sighing, the female leaned her head on Max’s shoulder slowly letting go of him. 

“That shows how brave some F1 drivers are.” Charles said in the microphone with a teasing smile and his female best friend glared at him, she cautiously came out from behind Max, but stayed close. Her boyfriend patted her back and sent her a smile.

“Dégagé, Charles.”(Piss off Charles) Cecilia said and glared at her friend.

“What she said.” Lando said and came to stand beside his teammate, Charles rolled his eyes.

“I think the big heroes here are Max and Aelx.” The presenter said gaining everyone’s attention back to the task at hand. “Give them all a round of applause.” 

Everyone clapped for them while the Mclaren due sulked, this video will be all over their social media by the time they’re off stage. How can you act cool as an F1 driver after you fall on stage a scream on stage from a wasp. 

Once they were done and the drivers were getting off stage, Max wrapped an arm around Cecilia’s shoulder, the female moved closer. “You were really scared there.”

“Uh, don’t remind me, that’s all I’ll be seeing the next few days.” Cecilia groaned, stomping a little like a child. 

“Careful, Cece, your Nathalie is showing.” Cecilia flips Charles off leaving him and Alex laughing their heads off. 

“Come on, mate, leave her be.” Max came to her defence, all in good fun of course.

“I personally liked how she pushed Lando to the floor.” Alex stated and looked like he was reliving the moment in his mind.

“That was mean by the way, Cece.” Lando said having slowled to walk with them.

“Lando, you literally were using me as a human shield, you had Charles on your other side.” Cecia’s eyes went wide as she pointed at the monegasque male. 

“But you’re my team mate!” She didn’t answer him just glared, Max leaned over to speak in her ear.

“I liked how you instinctively hid behind me.” Cecilia scoffed but felt her cheeks tint red.

“Of course you did.”

Kissing her cheek the pair separated to finish their duties, but Cecilia’s cheeks remained red for a bit longer, Lando left his brows amused as the Mclaren drivers left for their motorhome.

Nah cause what if Sebastian x slytherin reader right where your helping in him in his quests but you get attacked and reader gets knocked out and he’s mad n protective

"I've only had reader for a few day bit if anything happens to them i will curse everyone in this room and then myself"

My Knight (S.S)

I hate spiders. That's a lie, I just don't like them if they're too close. Love peacock spiders though. So cute. Based off that alone, we're dealing with that one quest with the spiders. So, there's a warning for you, also I haven't been able to play the game still, my pc is still refusing, so do I know what's going on? No. Did I call the giant spider the BroodMother while only thinking about that horrible darkspawn from Dragon Age? Yes. Anyway, I hope you enjoy, I'm posting rather early so I might start on another request tonight. <3

     You sucked in a breath as you shouted another spell at the spiders that surrounded you, desperate to keep them away. You glanced over to Sebastian, who was shouting his own spells at the spiders. You quickly cast a protection spell as you sprinted over, kicking a smaller spider away from Sebastian’s legs. “They keep coming! What are we supposed to do?” You shouted, throwing Stupefy at a spider that jumped at you. Sebastian shouted, bumping into your back, causing you to stumble. You turned to him, trying to see what had happened, when your eyes widened.

     A giant spider crawled from a hole in the side of the cave, its long legs towering over you while causing the ground to tremble beneath you. Its eyes shined red as it slowly crawled over to you, letting out a screech that made your eardrums rattle. “It’s the Brood Mother! I think that’s what they call her?” Sebastian shouted, grabbing onto your arm, and pulling you towards him. You watched as the smaller spiders scurried away, afraid of their giant counterpart. You readied your wand as you watched her, narrowing your gaze as you looked for a weak point. Without warning she ran at you, nearly knocking you into a wall with her leg. You threw spell after spell at her, a mix of red and yellow emitting from your wand. Sebastian had gotten separated from you, attacking the giant spider from the other side of the cave.

     You didn’t have many spells at your disposal, so you turned to using spells to throw the giant rocks around you, knocking out one of her legs. You watched as she spun around, trying to pick a target, and you quickly shouted to Sebastian as you dodged an attack. “Go for her legs!” “Got it!” You continued to dodge attacks and cast spells at the spider, quietly begging for her to go down, as your arms got tired. You watched as Sebastian threw a decent-sized rock with his wand, hitting her in the head and sending hundreds of broken stones into her eyes, causing her to flail and spin in panic. You felt victory hover in the air as you sent another stone flying, hitting her in the head once again. She let out a final screech as she tumbled to the ground, legs going limp around her as she hit the stone.

     You breathed a sigh of relief as you looked over to Sebastian, who let out a triumphant cheer as he tried to catch his breath. You put your wand into your robe as you made your way over to him, stepping over rocks that broke off in your fight. You smiled as you reached him, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Are you alright?” Sebastian nodded, running a hand through his hair. “Yeah, yeah. But I think spiders just made it to the top of the Bugs I Hate list.” You chuckled as you shook your head. “Spiders aren’t technically bugs, though. They’re like their own species.” You joked, watching as Sebastian rolled his eyes. “Whatever they are, I don’t like them in the slightest anymore.”

     “Does this mean that next time you see a spider, you’re going to ask me to kill it for you?” Sebastian scoffed, crossing his arms as he turned away from you, looking at some of the rocks that surrounded him. “Of course not. Just, don’t ask me to take care of one if its bigger than a Sovereign.” You laughed, noting the fact and looking around the cave. “Come look at this,” Sebastian said, waving his hand to you as you walked over. He held one of the stones in his hand, its surface shining in the soft light of a nearby torch. You leaned closer, examining the stone, as Sebastian watched you, a light blush creeping to his cheeks at the closeness. “It looks like quartz. Could this have been an old mine?” You asked, looking up at Sebastian as you leaned away, fixing your posture. Sebastian shrugged as he began to explain just how quartz mines worked to you. You listened, of course, no longer paying attention to your surroundings.

     Behind you, the giant legs of the spider twitched, slowly retracting to her body as she regained consciousness. Slowly, she used her front legs to move some rocks away from her eyes, rolling onto the ground. Your ears perked as you heard the rocks make contact with the ground, the hair on the back of your neck standing up and making you uneasy. You watched Sebastian as he continued to talk, glancing around you. The spider, now free of sharp stones, stood up, looking where the two of you stood. “It’s a wonder why so many old works of art weren’t taken down and recycled, could have used them, pity.” Sebastian said, tossing the stone back onto the ground. Alerted, the spider trained her eyes on you, preparing an attack. You looked over your shoulder to where you had left the spider, eyes widening as you realized your mistake. “What do you think about it all? Would it still-“ You cut Sebastian off as you grabbed the collar of his robe, yelling for him to move as you used the remaining strength you had left to pull him from where he was standing, sending him to the ground behind you as you watched the spider slam into the wall, right where he was originally standing.

     Sebastian let out a shriek as he watched the spider, one that he thought was dead, shake its head as it retracted from the wall. You quickly reached for your wand, casting a shield charm as a leg slammed down in front of you. “I thought we killed the thing?” Sebastian shouted, scrambling to his feet and pulling out his own wand. You shook your head, sending off a spell at its eyes. “Stupid! How did I not realize!” You shouted at yourself as you spun and grabbed Sebastian, running. “It was so obvious!” You continued, “She didn’t die like the other spiders, remember?” Sebastian nodded, trying to cast another spell at the spider. “This time, we fight until she’s on her back and curled up!”

     You gasped for air as you kept up your attack, throwing rock after rock at the spider as Sebastian unleashed his own onslaught. You struck one of its eyes with another rock, running to Sebastian as the spider spun once again. You ran faster as you saw one of its legs rise, beginning to bring it down, its target Sebastian. You yelled his name as you reached for him, casting a spell to push him back as the spider’s leg made contact, sending you flying back. Sebastian shouted your name, watching as you tumbled across the stones and finally coming to halt, your wand tossed beside you. There was no way to reach you as the spider continued its own attack, its sharp legs making dents in the stone below it. Sebastian was hit with an idea, and he quickly shouted at the spider, running around it. He found a boulder that had been split in half, and he raised his wand and sent it flying at the spider, slicing through one of its legs.

     “Accio!” Sebastian brought the leg towards him as he shouted for the spider’s attention. Both him and the spider were angered beyond reasoning, and the spider let out another screech as it stood taller, ready to tear into Sebastian, who only stood there. He smiled, watching as the spider straightened its legs, exposing the underside of its abdomen. Without hesitation, Sebastian launched the leg back to its owner, its sharp tip burrowing into the stiff exoskeleton, sending the spider to rear up as it screeched in pain, eventually falling backwards and twitching. Sebastian watched as it slowly died, making sure that it stayed dead, before turning to where you still laid, unmoving.

     “Y/n!” He breathed as he dropped to your side, turning you onto your back. His eyes widened as he held your head up, blood slowly trickling down into the small puddle that had formed under you. “No, come on! You can’t let a bug take you out!” He shouted, his shaking hands reaching for his wand as he racked his brain for a spell to heal your wound. The faint sound of scurrying legs sounded from the hall you walked through to get to where you were now, a small group of spiders quickly making their way over. “Not now, not now.” Sebastian whispered, tapping the wand to his head. Quickly, his eyes widened as a spell came to mind, and he quickly flipped his want and whispered “Episkey”. The gash on your head began to heal itself, the blood vanishing from your face and the ground. You were still out, however, and Sebastian lifted you from the group and brought you to the side of the cave, leaning you against its wall and standing in front of you, wand raised as the small spiders moved into the room.

     A few moments later the final spider rolled over, legs curling in as it died. Sebastian let out a sigh, running a hand through his hair as he looked around in case there were any more hiding around. You squinted, glancing around. Your head throbbed slightly as you brought your hand up, brushing against where the gash had been. You squinted as you looked at Sebastian’s silhouette, his shoulders raising and dropping quickly as he sucked in air. You smiled, looking around at the dead spiders. “Keep breathing like that,” you started, sitting yourself up more, “You’ll probably drop like those spiders.” Sebastian turned to you, a sigh of relief leaving him as he dropped his knee to take a look at you. “You’d find that funny, wouldn’t you?” You nodded, smiling. Sebastian grabbed your face, turning it to check your head. His calloused hand rested under your chin, gently moving your head around. “How’s your head, then?” He asked, letting you go. You shrugged, feeling the dull throb as it slowly faded. “I’m fine, thanks to you I suppose?” Sebastian smiled as he nodded, standing up and offering his hand.

     You looked over to where the mother laid, her legs retracted to her body as rigor mortis set in. You raised your eyebrows in surprise as you noticed one of its legs missing, finding it protruding from her body. You looked at Sebastian, surprised yet impressed as he shrugged. “Couldn’t let her take you out before I did.” You scoffed, slowly walking towards the spider. Sebastian quickly grabbed your sleeve as he pulled you away, shaking his head. “Look, I’m sure I can kill a giant bug. No need to double check.” You chuckled as you shook your head, opening your mouth. “No, don’t even! I’m going to call it a bug if I want to.” You closed your mouth, choosing to smile instead. You looked around for your wand, realizing that it wasn’t in your hand. Sebastian cleared his throat to get your attention, and you turned to see him holding your wand in his hand. You sighed, walking over and reaching for the wand, only for Sebastian to hold it above your head and out of reach. You frowned, narrowing your gaze as you glared at Sebastian. “I do believe I deserve something in return?” You shook your head as you leaned closer to Sebastian, placing a small kiss on his cheek and then snatching your wand from his hand.

     Sebastian stood there, shocked, as you fixed your robes. “Whatever would I do without you, my dear Knight?” Sebastian stuttered, quickly fixing his hair as his cheeks heated up. “Probably not get attacked by giant spiders, for one.” You nodded, placing your wand into your pocket. “Although,” Sebastian started, slowly walking over to you. “I don’t think a cheeky kiss is enough for the trauma I went through to protect you.” You chuckled, pretending to be deep in thought. “Of course, a killer of spiders should be given a better reward.” With that, you quickly leaned against Sebastian again, this time placing a soft kiss to his lips and walking towards the hall, turning back and waiting for Sebastian. He quickly followed you, slightly whining. “Are you even going to ask me how I did it?” “I figured you’d tell me on the walk back, you can never stay quiet about these things.” “I find that rude, but I suppose I’ll tell you.”

Temporary Control

Part 2

Part 1

Warning! ⚠

⚠ using she/they for reader, stalking, cussing, mentions of mind control, cannibalism mention(with small comic panel), blood, kiss on the palm of hand ⚠

Vox had a plan.

In order to make the pretty time doll run into his arms the Radio Demon had to make a really terrible mistake.

I'll be able to help with that.

He went to work, having his screens showing wherever the red dressed demon went to study his rival's habits and routes. Looking through spare parts for his little "bug" project.

While making the little bug device, Valentino had let himself in and got comfortable on a couch nearby the work bench.

"I was wondering what had you so cooped up~", the moth demon says before taking a drag from his cigarette and blowing some of the smoke out. "But I see its just him again."

"I'm busy.", he grumbles, flicking on the fan to ventilate the room and get rid of the smoke.

"Even for little 'ol me?", the pimp asks in a mock innocent tone.

"You're not little.", Vox huffs and solders some of the wires into place.

"That's what she said."

Putting down the soldering tools, the T.V. Demon turns around and finds Valentino laying down like the lady from the Titanic film.

"Draw me like one of your french girls~", the moth demon says with a wide grin.

Vox walks over and glares down at the demon. "Get the fuck out.", he says completely done.

"Hmm...", the pimp hums and takes a quick hit of the cigarette. "No.", he blows out the smoke at the blue demon's screen.

Swiping at the smoke, the T.V. demon scowls and grabs a cushion to toss at the moth's face, but he dodge it.

"I'm busy!", he shouts and goes back to the work bench.

Valentino rolls his eyes behind the heart shades and gets up from the couch, making his way over to stand behind him and look at the notes pinned up on the wall.

"What's got you all serious? Usually you'd fire another joke back.", the moth demon says.

Ignoring him, Vox continues to work and glances at his notes on the blueprints every so often.

After thoroughly reading through the notes, Valentino laughs.

"Making a mind control device? Your influence with the media and abilities should be enough for that."

"Its not just for any demon.", he pipes up, stopping his work to go over to the wall of screens that have been following the Radio Demon. "Its for that fucker right there."

The pimp goes and stands next to him, glancing over the screens.

Vox holds his arms behind his back. "With this little bug, it'll make it easier for me to take control of that guarded pretentious prick and make him do whatever I want.", he says turning to look at the taller demon.

"Oh~ And then you get his girl~", the moth demon chuckles.

The T.V. demon goes back to work and is finally able to kick the tall ass moth out of the room.

.

After finishing the "bug", Vox pinpoints where the Radio Demon is and mocks him through the screen, then he makes his way over to start the first part of his plan.

When arriving, he sees the cannibal walking away from the butchers with a bag and lifting up some sliver of bloody meat up to his lips.

Not waiting, he sends out some wires to attack.

The building nearby breaks apart, making some dust and debris fly off.

Alastor emerged from the dust clouds, flicking rubble off of his coat, past annoyed from earlier and now completely pissed off.

"You son of a bitch.", he growls out, eyes turning into radio dials.

"That's uncalled for!", Vox says in a fake offended tone. "But you're not wrong.", he grins and attacks again.

Its chaos as the two go at each other. Tossing vehicles, pieces of buildings, and even demons. And at some point they get close enough to ripping the other's head off.

The T.V. demon uses this opportunity to throw the bug onto his rival and watches as it crawls out of sight.

"€ŇØỮǤĦ Ø₣ ŦĦƗŞ ŇØŇŞ€ŇŞ€!", the deer demon shouts out with heavy static, using tentacles to try and pull him into one of the portals.

"As fun as this is, I'm going to have to leave.", Vox says, dodging the black tendrils. "Sorry to cut this short.", he says and manages to leave, dodging half a building his rival tries to crush him with. "Ta'ta Radio Shack!"

.

Alastor stared down at the remains of tomorrow's dinner, now a pile of dirty meat on the ground. The bag having ripped and contents spilled after Vox's attack.

"Damn that piece of-", he let out a sigh and collects himself before making his way back to the hotel.

She was waiting for him.

Their date was today and he didn't want to be late, that would be incredibly rude.

Deciding to speed things up, the Radio Demon teleported to his room and rushed to fix himself up. After being satisfied with his clothes, he walked over to their room and knocked on the door.

They open the door with a smile but then it disappeared, replaced with a frown instead.

Why the frown?

"Alastor, you're bleeding.", she steps closer and gently wipes the blood he didn't feel start to drip above his brow. "What happened?"

"Nothing too concerning darling.", he smiles and takes a hold of their wrist, placing a kiss on the palm of their hand. "Just had a run in with some vermin."

They tug on his sleeve and pull him into their room.

"Let's clean you up and get you rested. We can have date night another time.", they say and close the door behind him.

"But dearest-", he tries to change their mind.

"No. There's dark circles under your eyes, you need to rest.", they point out and usher him to sit on the bed.

He sits down without a fuss, knowing that they'd be upset if he didn't listen.

"Stay put while I get the first aid kit, ok?", his little hour glass says before pecking his forehead.

"Very well darling.", he mumbles.

They give him a wonderful smile before going into the bathroom to search for the box.

Feeling a bit tired, Alastor lies down and closes his eyes, not noticing the little bug bot attaching itself onto the back of his neck.

I'm half asleep. Wooo! *face plants onto bed*

~Seline, the person.

How to Play as Bugs Bunny in DnD 5e

That’s right, today we’re building the epic icon of Bugs Bunny. As the star of Looney Tunes, I could think of nobody better to start with than Bugs Bunny. Now, Bugs has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He’s a master of disguise, misdirection, manipulation, he can pull items out of the hammerspace behind his back, and defy the laws of physics. So, clearly Bugs is some kind of all-powerful trickster. But how do we build him?

For his race, Bugs is a Harengon, a type of rabbitfolk from the feywild. We’ll give him +2 CHA, +1 DEX. As a Harengon, Bugs is a Fey type creature immune to the effects of spells like Charm Person and Hold Person that specify a humanoid target. He also gains proficiency with Perception, adds his proficiency bonus to his initiative rolls, add a d4 to a failed DEX saving throw, and jump five feet times his proficiency bonus.

 For his background, Bugs is most famous for his ability to pull things over on unsuspecting maroons. We’ll label him as a Charlatan. Now, why is he not a Performer? Because Charlatans get automatic proficiency with the Disguise Kit. If there’s anything he’s known for, it’s his disguises.

 In terms of Alignment, Bugs tap dances on the border between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral.

BARD COLLEGE OF CREATION

Bugs is undeniably a Bard. He has a long history as a Vaudeville type performer, even canonically being a famous performer in numerous cartoons. In one, his gags with Elmer Fudd even began as a comedy routine they performed on stage, and later evolved to make them a famous comedy duo. In others, he’s a famous celebrity famed for his career in show business. So, he’s definitely a Bard. But, what College? Well, that would be the college of creation. They can create musical notes that attack people, they can pull items out of nowhere, which by 14th level can be Huge items,  they can animate objects around them like some old black-and-white cartoon from the 20s or 30s, and by late game, he can make multiple items at once. As a Bard, we get any three skills, and we’ll take Performance, Persuasion, and Stealth.

Name: Bugs Bunny Race: Harengon Background: Charlatan Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

STATS STR 8 DEX 20 CON 12 INT 12 WIS 14 CHA 20

SAVING THROWS STR -1 DEX +11 CON +1 INT +1 WIS +2 CHA +11

HP: 123 AC: 15 PB: +6 SDC: 19 SAB: +11 PP: 24 Initiative: +11 Bardic Inspiration: (5) 1d12

SKILLS Deception (+17) Perception (+14) Performance (+11) Persuasion (+17) Sleight of Hand (+17) Stealth (+11)

SPELLS

C Friends, Mage Hand, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation, Vicious Mockery 1 Charm Person, Command, Disguise Self, Silvery Barbs, Tasha’s Hideous Laughter 2 Mirror Image, Enthrall, Gift of Gab, Suggestion 3 Antagonize (UA), Dispel Magic 4 Charm Monster, Confusion, Polymorph 5 Dream, Geas, Mislead 6 Mass Suggestion, Otto’s Irresistible Dance 7 Teleport (how he often ends up in the wrong place) 8 Glibness 9 True Polymorph

BARDIC MAGICAL SECRETS 10th Counterspell, Fly 14th Fabricate, Creation 18th Contingency, Reverse Gravity

WHY NOT ROGUE?

Some may wonder why I didn’t even consider the Rogue for Bugs Bunny. After all, Rogue does have some useful features. Uncanny Dodge and Evasion go a long way to make Bugs as slippery as he is, and that’s a good point. They also get another skill, giving him the chance to pick up Insight proficiency. Sneak Attack bonus also lets Bugs capitalize on his sneaky underhanded tactics. But, there’s a good reason why I chose Bard. Firstly, Arcane Trickster Rogues work off Intelligence, and Bugs is not book smart. He’s a wise guy and a charmer, but one of his common running gags is mispronouncing common sayings, like saying maroon instead of moron. Arcane Tricksters are also cut off at the 4th level, cutting Bugs off from great spells like Creation and Mislead, which go so well with his tactics. Any other type of rogue doesn’t get any spells, which deviates from where Bugs Bunny shines as a DnD Character.

Bugs is a character I’ve wanted to build for a while. I was going to do him when the Harengon came out, and then I just kind of forgot and left him sitting on a backburner. But he can do everything I would hope for. He’s clever, charming, and most importantly of all, great at manipulating people without outright brainwashing them. Just exploiting their stupidity. And since the Bard of Creation can create just about anything out of thin air, it really lets the player let their imagination run wild. Let’s see how intimidating Strahd is after he’s had an anvil dropped on his head.

Tales of Bloody Bug - Chapter 4 - Bloody Bug

Beginning || Previous || Next

            Alix stood near the wall to the inner city with Ondine. They watched the sunset as their nerves built. The patrols and other guards on high alert as they searched for Chat Blanc.

            “Are you ready?” Alix asked.

            Ondine nodded. “As ready as I can be.”

            “Right. Tikki, spots on.”

            “Fluff, clockwise.”

            Tikki flew into the earrings. Alix’s ragged clothes transformed into a tattered off-the-shoulder midriff shirt, shorts, and red and black boots. Torn red clothes covered her body, arms, and legs with black fishnets underneath them. Her reddish pink hair turned red along with her eyes.

            Fluff disappeared into the pocket watch. Ondine’s ruined clothes transformed into a white body suit, long blue stockings, white gloves over long blue sleeves, white boots, and complete with rabbit ears and tail. Her short red hair spiked up to match Alix’s hair.

            Everyone turned and stared at Alix and Ondine’s transformation when screams pierced the silence. Alix ran forward as the spotlights turned on. The scavengers scrambled over the fence as a yowl sounded from the other side. Alix readied her yo-yo as she jumped over and faced Chat Blanc.

            Chat Blanc bristled as his eyes narrowed. He hissed and snarled at Alix.

            “It’s over Chat Blanc. Today, you fall before Bloody Bug!”

            Chat Blanc roared and charged forward. Bloody Bug kicked him in the gut and sent him flying into the darkness. She took a breath and looked at her yo-yo.

            “Lucky Charm!”

            Ladybugs spiraled from the yo-yo as a pair of night vision goggles were created. Bloody Bug sighed and slipped them on. She headed into the darkness after Chat Blanc. She scouted the immediate area before she headed deeper into the inner city. Frustration tore through her when she couldn’t find him until she heard a cat’s snarl.

            Bloody Bug turned as Chat Blanc pounced. She decked him in the jaw and sent him flying back. He roared and raised a hand up. White light formed as he pointed it at her. She swung out as a pillar of destruction blasted the building to ash. She dodged more destruction attacks before she closed the gap. She grabbed his tail and threw him into the ground, leaving an impact crater.

            Bloody Bug landed nearby and rolled into the crater. She pinned down Chat Blanc before he recovered. She grabbed his tail again, ripped it off him, and broke it. She sneered as his eyes widened in fear. He roared again and prepared another attack. She jumped out and took to the skies. She swung from building to building as he pursued her.

            Bloody Bug watched Chat Blanc’s wild attacks and timed them out. She turned and threw her yo-yo around him. He yowled as she pulled him against her, and they collided with the ground. He prepared another attack when she struck his bell, freeing the Akuma within. She swiped up on her yo-yo and captured the Akuma. She released it and watched the pure white butterfly fly away.

            Bloody Bug looked down at Chat Noir. He looked around in confusion. She sighed as she pinned him down. He let out a yowl and looked up at her. Fear clouded his eyes when she removed the ring from him. Her eyes widened seeing Chat Noir was Adrien Agreste. She shook her head and slipped on the ring.

            “I’m sorry, Adrien. A lot of damage has been done and I’m afraid I don’t have time to explain. I have to fix the damage that Hawkmoth did.”

            Adrien reached out as Bloody Bug left. He called out, but she ignored him. Chat Blanc was no more, and she had the black cat ring. It was time to make her wish.

Villains Little Bug: Team Struggle

Hi It’s me I was supposed to have this out 2 weeks ago but I got busy so it’s here now. IF and this is a big IF I continue this it will be very slow updates. I still haven’t really jumped back into this fandom. anyway please enjoy!

 Back in Paris

A few days after Marinette had moved the Akuma class was having a party to celebrate on of Lila’s many achievements. “Wow girl i never would have thought that you managed to help bring fresh water for those in need” exclaims Alya. Lila nods and replies “oh of course I did i could never let someone in need go unhelped” 

Lila then walks up to Adrien and puts her arms around one of his and begins to speak "Adrien I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later today maybe after a photo shoot?” Adrien tries to gently shake off Lila and tells Her “no Lila I'm sorry I can’t today after the photo shoots my father wants me home immediately” Lila still having a grip on Adrien, frowns “are you sure I can try to call my mom and see if she can contact your dad and-” Adrien interrupts her and pulls away harshly “I’m really sorry Lila I really can’t maybe another time okay” as he walks away.

The class suddenly gets quiet as everyone starts to stare at Lila and as she sees everyone looking at her she makes her eyes fill with tears as she speaks pathetically “ I’m sorry Adrien I didn’t realize I was being a bother to you.” Lila then rushes outside of the classroom. Adrien immediately realizing what he’s done rushes to catch her in an attempt to prevent her from getting Akumatized. he rushes to a stop and he thinks ‘If I let her get Akumatized I can see my lady!’

Next thing he knows is that there is an explosion and the school shakes. Adrien Quickly hides and transforms running toward the explosion he sees Lila Now Volpina as she exclaims “Adrien I'm gonna find you!” Chat Noir chuckles and just as he’s about to rush in and attack a melody is heard and it catches the attention of both Volpina and Chat Noir they turn and see Viperion as he then runs and leaps at Volpina and manages to hit her before she can get away.

Chat Noir shaking off his surprise jumps into the fray “you know we did this out of order pretty sure I was supposed to go first so I could say-” Viperion interrupts him “ Look what the cat dragged in yes I know can we please focus on taking down the Akuma?” Chat a little miffed nods and says “ we need to distract her until Milady comes to help us.” Volpina takes this chance to begin attacking both Heroes and they dodge her attacks Viperion looks at him confused and says “ didn’t ladybug tell you she wasn’t going to fight anymore in an attempt to keep the miraculous safe?”

Chat rolls his eyes dodging another attack “well yeah but I figured she wasn’t serious” He then jumps to get behind Volpina and swings at her back. as she moves out of the way her face lights up with hawkmoths symbol and she says “look for ladybug? no way I can take Chat Noirs Miraculous first” she then turns around to hit Chat with her flute and connects with his face. he flips over and ends up falling behind Viperion.

Viperion then takes up a defensive stance and raises his hand in a ‘come at me’ motion Volpina rushes toward them and just as she gets close Viperion grabs her flute from her hand and knocks her out with it. He then breaks the flute in half and a portal opens up and ladybugs yoyo is seen catching the akuma then it disappears in to the portal a few seconds later ladybugs can be seen flying out of the portal along with a butterfly then as suddenly as the portal appeared it vanishes.

Viperion Looks at Chat Noir and tells him “you can handle talking to the victim right? I have five minutes left before I transform back.” Chat Noir looking insulted nods and watches Viperion leave. he then turns to Lila and helps her up. “are you okay?” Lila turns to him and bursts into tears “ no! I tried really hard not get Akumatized and I failed, I don’t want to be sensitive but I can’t help it!” Chat Noir gives her reluctant brief hug and points out her friends to her Alya runs to her side and takes over comforting Lila. Chat takes it as a sign to leave and he does. he has a guardian to see anyway.

okay so a little reminder that if I am going to continue this the updates are going to be slow. Maybe they might get uploaded faster in the semi far future but not anytime soon having said that I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter

while we eat

steve harrington x reader

summary: steve is reading, you scare him - that's it.

a/n: insert from the shinning included, fluff. short but sweet.

“His breath stopped in a gasp. An almost drowsy terror stole through his veins. Yes. Yes. There was something in here with him, some awful thing the Overlook had saved for just such a chance as this. Maybe a huge spider that had burrowed down under the dead leaves, or a rat... or maybe the corpse of some little kid that had died here on the playground. Had that ever happened? At the far end of the concrete ring, Danny heard the stealthy crackle of dead leaves, as something came for him on its hands and knees.”

Steve paused his reading for a moment to push up the brim of his glasses; his body snuggled deep against the living room couch, feet resting on the opposite end on the couch’s arm rest. His toes were warm under perfectly white socks, it was a lazy day for him, so he lounged in gray sweats and an old physical education tee shirt. His head was rested under one arm, while he held the book with his other hand: his eyes scanning the words – back and forth, over to the next page. He removed his hand from under his head to turn the page, he couldn’t even breath without knowing what was going to happen to little Danny Torrance.

“…Jesus,” he muttered, finally breathing as he dived into the next page; he could feel his heart pounding with anticipation and as he began to unfold what was happening to the five-year-old, a hand touched his shoulder, and the book went flying across the room as he jumped up from the couch. He fumbled over the coffee table, dodging the corner by an inch and landing on the adjacent love seat. “What the actual fuck.”

Steve took off his glasses and looked up to where you stood; a bag of take out in hand. You were laughing and he caught his breath, placing his glasses back on. He sat up straight and ran a hand through his hair, declaring that you had ‘scared the shit outta’ him. Still laughing, you apologized and walked around the couch to pick up the book. “Oh, this is a good one. Have you seen the movie?”

“With Jack Nicholson, right?” Steve hauled himself off the love seat and walked over to you, plucking the book out of your hand. “I haven’t yet – Robin insisted I read the book first, wouldn’t stop bugging me about it.”

“We should all watch it together once you’re done,” you suggested, leaning in to kiss him. He captured your face with his hand and kissed you back. When you pulled away, you apologized again for scaring him. “It’s kind of cute seeing you squirm like that.”

Steve rolled his eyes and took the takeout bag from you. “Nearly gave me a heart attack but glad I could entertain you.”

Ignoring his fake pouting, you followed him into the kitchen and watched as he placed the book down on the counter. You moved to sit up on the counter, gingerly picking up the paperback and asking what page he was on. He took out plates from the cabinet and a set of utensils from the drawer nearest to the oven.

“I think it was 230,” he clicked his tongue against his cheek and turned to you with a smile when he realized what you were doing. “Oh good, it’s less scary when someone else reads it.”

Grinning, you found the page and turned the book to him for confirmation, he nodded and went back to plating the Italian take out you had picked up after work. “Shall I do voices?”

“God, no,” he begged, reminding you of the last time you did voices. “The Handmaid’s Tale was terrifying enough – didn’t need to hear your weird British accent. Which, by the way, made no sense…”

“I know,” you giggled. “That was the point – needed to make the book less depressing…”

Steve whistled and picked up the plates. “Come on, you can read while we eat.”

Jumping off the counter, you grabbed the forks and two cans of coke from the fridge; the two of you settled at the small kitchen table and started to eat dinner. The apartment you shared quiet except for the sound of your voice, low and steady, continuing little Danny’s chilling situation. Ever so often, Steve’s commentary could be heard and even more often than that, his begging for you to stop the British accent.

Loki x fem reader

Chapter 1

Summary: Loki, the god of mischief, has brought chaos to new york. What happens when he meets a particular interesting human? Love? Havoc? or rather--amusement.

Warnings: death, swearing.

A/n: A recent commission was made by @kitxel-draws. Thanks for your supportive generosity. Chapter 2 shall be out soon. Enjoy💖

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

-----

War is where death follows between two opposing sides that fight until nothing but ash falls.

The city of New York was under threat, and the god of mischief had accomplished his goal; using the tesseract, he summoned an army that he had gained with the alliance of Thanos. The aliens came through the portal with heavy machinery and weapons, rifles, blasters, and snipers. These aliens, the Chitauri, were under the commandment of their one true God, Loki. The civilians in the area under witness to these extra-terrestrial beings were mortified in horror—the only reactions they could muster were screams and fleeing. The Chitahuri fell from the sky, riding their chariots. They resembled a swarm of bugs from above, bunching together before parting as soon as they hit the earth’s atmosphere. The Chitauri started attacking the streets below; their weapons blasted anything in sight, human or not. Loud explosions could be heard at every corner, blazing fires emerged from the streets, and the tall, mighty skyscrapers that towered above any human, fell into a pile of broken rubble and dust. Loki stood proudly as he gazed down, staring at the battle in his glory. Loki closed his eyes as he heard the screams of mortal beings fleeing from the chaos—it seemed too beautiful, finally, a world where he was crowned and worshipped. The word “worshipped” meant so much in Loki’s mind, a world built in his name, a world he could call his own.

However, the dream ended when a worthy foe appeared in his presence.

“And, what fool dares to challenge me at my hour of triumph?” Loki asked with a mischievous grin. He knows how this will end, another mortal who shall bite the dust or join his army.

“One that values freedom for their country” A familiar voice struck Loki with recognition.

It was Captain America, the first avenger, the first fighter for freedom, and a patriotic hero beloved by all. “A soldier” Loki grinned further. Was he serious? Is this mortal willing to battle a god? What a joke.

“I’m giving you one last chance, Loki; stand down,” Captain America ordered.

“Never!” He furiously hissed.

Loki blasted a magical force from his scepter, and Captain America quickly dropped and rolled out of the way. He was determined; he didn’t back down while his country was attacked. Captain America threw his shield in a straight line; the blue and white shield flew at an unnatural speed, the circular disk spinning in a smooth motion as it aimed toward Loki. However, Loki used his scepter to ‘whack’ the shield out of the way. Captain America tossed his shield repeatedly in all directions. He was determined to defeat the god of mischief. Captain America ran up to Loki, punching him square in the jaw only—it didn’t affect him. Loki hit Captain America on his back to knock him over, but Steve quickly pushed himself up and dodged the oncoming scepter smashing into the ground. Captain America held his fists up, his legs facing in a fighting stance; he was prepared to take on Loki.

“I can do this all day,” Steve determinedly said.

Captain America came in again, rushing toward Loki with his hands curled into a fist. One punch after the other, swing after swing, Captain America fought with all his might against the God of Mischief. Loki turned his scepter in a perfect balance, following Captain America’s attacks. It was a fight to the death that would last between two powerful men: one a god and the other an artificial soldier. The difference between fighting Thor and Loki was that Thor relied heavily on his strength while Loki relied on his agility and wit. After the last punch, Captain America pushed Loki off to retrieve his shield. Loki prepared to defend himself from more of Steve’s attacks. Captain America looked directly into Loki’s eyes; he threw the shield with all his strength. The shield’s impact was so powerful that it knocked him onto his back. Loki’s crown fell off with a loud ‘clank’ to the ground. Perhaps he was wrong; mortal heroes were undoubtedly more formidable than they seemed.

This didn’t stop the god of mischief; however, he was still willing to take down this artificial soldier. He was a god, after all, a deity more powerful than man. All it took was one hit, and Captain America shall be no more. Loki curled his hands into fists; his own dark, raven hair that was once slicked back was now unkempt; strands of his black hair dangled down the side of his pale face.

“Come soldier, are you still prepared to fight for your weak brethren” Loki teased threateningly.

Captain America grabbed his shield as he was prepared to fight God, though something significant impacted Steve on the head. He lost his balance as he held his hands to his head. Loki stared in blatant confusion, knowing he wasn’t using any magic to force something that heavy on Steve’s head. Captain America turned to his side to see where the oncoming impact came from.

“Fuck you, motherfucker!! It’s your fault she’s dead!” a voice emerged from the pile of rubble.

Loki was astounded yet kept quiet and watched in confusion toward this angered human.

Captain America immediately turned to the Civilian; it was a woman with tear stains on her face and messy hair. Captain America tried to order her, “Mam, you’ve been ordered to evacuate the area!”.

“No! Y-you’re supposed to be a hero; what kind of hero allows an innocent person to die!” the woman stood her ground.

“I understand your frustration, mam, but please, we are trying to take everything under control,” Captain America reasoned with the angered woman.

Captain America was frustrated that this lady wouldn’t listen; however, only to his astounded horror did he realize his shield had hit a Chitauri ship earlier. He was so focused on defeating Loki; he didn’t know the risk to the other civilians surrounding the area. Steve gazed at the fallen ship; beneath its crushed underside was a woman’s body. Steve felt horrible; he looked at the woman with a guilty expression.

“I’m sorry, mam, I had no intention of—.”

“Intention of saving those innocent bystanders,” the woman snapped.

The woman, named y/n, didn’t care if Captain America was brave or good-hearted; he killed off the one woman who meant the whole world to her. Y/n’s mother. She was the most audacious and kindest soul any could know. She sacrificed herself to save her daughter’s life, a tough decision that couldn’t be made quickly. It was always a battle between the heroes and villains, yet, they were all the same. No matter where who, or what they fought, it was always the same. Heroes do more damage, just like villains.

While Steve was distracted, a Chitauri emerged from behind the car, holding a dagger. Captain America couldn’t react fast enough for the alien to take hold of y/n by the hair. “FUCK YOU- AH!” she screamed, wrestling with the grey-armored, hideous E.T. off her. Before she could react, a blue strain of light formed beneath the woman. “I thank you, soldier, for the fight. However, you were getting a little boring, so I’ll take my farewells and leave your pathetic world behind,” Loki smirked. Y/n screamed out to Captain America; Steve rushed to try and save the civilian that hit him with ash felt earlier. Only, he didn’t grab her fast enough.

Loki shot a blue beam of light into the sides of the buildings; the buildings all started to tumble down as Loki escaped.

With the puny, feisty human.

[skylarstark4826]

Pansy sat on the stony beach by the lake, wireless on the rock next to her, crooning love songs from the Muggles seventies. Witchy Woman was wrapping up as she skipped rocks across the deceptively calm surface of the lake, hoping to hit the squid, who was languidly tapping his tentacles to the beat. She took another drag off her cigarette, indulging in all her Muggle vices this evening. The sun was setting behind the trees, but its beauty was lost on Pansy, who simply cursed the light because it meant she would have to return to the castle soon.

"Fucking twit. Does he really think that people are going to just smile and let them be? Merlin's arse! All that bloody red hair…just imagine all fifteen of her brothers catching them post-coital in some broom-closet. There won't be anything of the get left. No more than he deserves. Popping a Weasley." Pansy snorted. The irony of her thoughts were not lost on her.

Suddenly with a flurry of leaves and branches, a red headed blur broke through the trees to her right. Obviously in a blind hurry, Weasley in a show of his usual grace, tripped over a branch and landed face first at her feet.

Pansy, never one to miss an opportunity, arched one elegant eyebrow and smirked. "Finally realized just where you belong, Weasley?"

Said Weasley looked up at her, dirt smeared across his nose. There was something almost ferally hungry in his eyes. Without another word, he attacked her.

When his lips crashed against hers, it was with a bit of desperation. After she managed to pull away and catch her breath, Pansy chuckled.

"I take it that means you've missed me. Also that you've heard."

"Heard what?" Ron plunked himself down between her legs. He reached over and plucked the cigarette from her fingers and took a drag himself, making a face at the taste.

"Merlin, how can you smoke this? I hate menthol." He flicked the remaining butt into the lake. The squid easily reached out and batted it back at him, making Ron have to dodge to avoid getting hit in the face. He unrepentedly stuck his tongue out at it.

Pansy smiled indulgently before getting back to the point. "Your sister has a new boyfriend."

"Well that's nothing new. What's the big deal?"

"This one isn't in Gryffindor, or Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw…"

"Fuck! She's dating a professor? If it's that new Defense teacher, the pretty boy with manicured nails, I'll kill her."

"No it's Snape, Ron. Ginny is dating Snape. She finds his potions sexy." Pansy rolled her eyes at her lover, and watched in amusement as his eyes bugged out.

Then he chuckled. "You're joking. Ginny would never date a Slytherin."

"Well then, Draco must be a closet Hufflepuff or he's hiding his transfer to Ravenclaw from me."

"Malfoy! Ginny's dating Malfoy? Have you been into Professor Sprout's mushrooms? Neville said she's got some new ones that had quite an interesting effect on her advanced herbology class…" Ron slowed down as he realized that Pansy was completely serious. "Oh fuck. You're serious."

"Yes dear, I am. And that isn't all…"

"He got her pregnant! I'm gonna fucking AK them both!" Ron jumped to his feet and began to head to the castle.

"Oh for Merlin's sake!" Pansy grabbed his ankle before he could get any further. "You don't think very highly of your sister do you? She isn't preggers, at least not that I know of. They're planning to tell everyone that they're dating."

Ron stood completely still and looked down at her. "They can't…," he whispered hoarsely.

Pansy met his gaze steadily. "I know, but they're going to. By the time I found out, they were on their way to tell you and Potter and Granger. I was hoping to get to you first."

Ron sank down slowly beside her. "Well she would have told 'Potter' and 'Granger' by now. How do they plan to let the rest of the world know? Post their banns in the Quibbler? Pansy, what does this mean for us?"

Pansy sighed and leaned against him. "Yes well, I'm sure Dumbledore is going to fully stand behind their relationship, twinkling merrily and offering everyone tea and sherbert lemons. I can't say the same for Lucius and 'Cissa. I can't even imagine their reaction."

"Your worried about the Malfoys? Just wait until the rest of my brothers find out. I can just imagine the headline. 'Massacre at Hogwort's. Victims seem to have been blugered to death. The victims put up a good fight. Several of the murderers suffered from severe bat bogey hexes."

Pansy snorted. She had a grudging respect for Ginny's hexes. However, she quickly sobered. Taking comfort from Ron's proximity, she began to run plans through her head.

Ron knew that she was thinking, so he was content to sit quietly.

After several moments, she turned to face him. "Right then. We only have two choices. We can either come out, or stay in."

Ron got an amused smile on his face. "I surely would love to see Malfoy's face if we were to beat him to the punch…"

Pansy's eyes glittered with Slytherin zeal. She looked at from under her lashes. "At breakfast?"

Ron pulled Pansy back against him as he leaned against the tree. "Yeah, at breakfast." He gave a smirk worthy of a Slytherin.

In the background, the wireless filled the quiet area with the strains of "Victim of Love."

Pansy headed down to the Great Hall confidently, knowing that she and Ron had cemented their plans the evening before.

Draco had been in an exceptionally good mood that morning. He had hexed a group of fifth years, but they had ended up with bunny ears instead of boils. One or two of them were even sporting tails. She glanced across the Great Hall toward the Gryffindor table as she headed toward her seat. Ginny had dressed for the occasion this morning, and even Pansy had to admit that the girl had style. Her hair was pulled partially back and she was wearing a yellow sundress beneath her school robes.

Pansy however had yet to see Ron and that worried her a bit. He was known for sleeping in, somewhat notorious for being a late starter. She didn't want them to miss this opportunity. It was now or never. Dumbledore stood to give the morning announcements and Ron still wasn't in the Great Hall.

"The Quidditch match for the afternoon has been cancelled for this evening due to an infestation of Nifflers. All students with detention will report to Hagrid to help clear the field."

Two Hufflepuff students groaned and put their heads down on the table in front of them.

The double doors to the Great Hall burst open, and Ron sauntered through. Pansy's jaw almost hit the table. She wasn't the only one. Ron wasn't wearing his school robes. He was, in fact, wearing black dragonhide pants that fit very nicely. He was wearing a shirt that matched the blue of his eyes. He was carrying a bouquet of pansies. Everyone turned to look at Hermione, and Pansy found herself smirking. The flowers were definitely a nice touch. She'd have to reward him…later. Especially if he was still wearing those pants…

Rather than head in the direction of the Gryffindor table as everyone expected, he walked straight toward Pansy. When he reached her, he took her by the hand and led her to Dumbledore.

"Sir, if I may?"

Eyes twinkling, Dumbledore said "By all means." Ron merely nodded and faced Pansy, clearing his throat.

"Parkinson. Everyone keeps talking about uniting our Houses. What say you?" As Ron said this, he whipped out a ring. Where he got the money for it, she would have to ask later. It was a fire diamond.

Draco leapt from his seat. Potter, Granger, and Ginny stood up. Granger especially seemed as if she didn't quite know what to say…for once.

Everyone seemed stunned, except for Luna, who began to clap.

Pansy smirked, having recovered a bit from his surprise proposal. "What makes you think I'd marry a Weasley?"

"Well you've fucked one," he whispered under his breath, winking at her. However, she could see that he was beginning to get worried. Louder, he responded "Well, we have been together since fourth year…"

More gasps arose from the hall, but Dumbledore was beaming proudly. Pansy realized that Snape seemed to be suffering from apoplexy and Madame Pomfrey was trying to revive him.

She decided to put her Weasel out of his misery. She smiled and leaned forward to kiss him.

At this point, Draco strode forward. "You bastard," he intoned, smiling. "You always have to be first, don't you Pansy." He held out a hand toward the Gryffindor table. Lavendar, with awe in her face began to get up, but Ginny was already heading up with a bemused smile on her face. Lavendar began to pout. Seamus, never one to waste an opportunity, quickly began to console her.

Ginny took her place next to Draco and mock glared at her brother.

"I'll have words with you later, Ron."

Suddenly a voice came from the other side of the room. "Well, if everyone is coming out…" Blaise stood and stepped near Draco. He too looked over at the Gryffindor table. With his eyes shining, Colin rushed over to join Blaise. The look on Draco's face was priceless, and Blaise knew he would have some questions to answer before the day was done, but Draco couldn't very well say anything at this point after so recently having made his confession.

Dumbledore looked even happier at the proceedings.

"Let this be a lesson to you all," he intoned.

From under the table, Snape's eyes rolled back into his head and he wondered where he had gone wrong, as he slipped back into unconsciousness and the doting arms of Madame Pomfrey.

The students, highly confused, but willing to be supportive nonetheless, especially if it meant there might be a party, began to clap. Dumbledore smiled, satisfied that the Sorting Hat would finally come up with some new material for its songs.

[honeybeewhereartthee]

shall we begin our distorted party for two?

in another timeline, a very old time. The two who don't belong in such place or such time walk around, looking for something or someone. 

( I thought those people would be scared by a hornet. I guess you were L ratio and treated like a nobody.(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ ) 

Pseudo chuckles as he points out how there's still a lack of people in the place. Instead of the people, they made deals with they should begin the task. 

{ Kokoko, it seems ya want to be ratio with those bulls. What if I mentioned your name and make you get stuck in the labyrinth?}

Bee stops looking for another beehive for a honey, he give a side look at his companion and rolled his eyes. 

( If you mentioned my name, I'll also mentioned your name!) 

Pseudo refuses to admit defeat as he crosses his hands. Scoffing and looking away from the bug in his eyes. 

{ Kokoko. I wonder who's faster. Me cutting off your tongue or you speaking my name? }

Bee gives him a very sinister smile at him.  The other person sees it not as a threat and just shrugged his shoulder as he looks in another direction. 

( It's not like you can do harm to me. You and I are forced to deal with one another, cannot kill one another even if one wanted to... Ah)

Pseudo stops on his words as he saw a black cat with red eyes hopping from a small portal from another multiverse.

( KYAAAAA. OMGOMGOMG) 

his eyes widen at the sight of the cat before long, he have speed up to the direction of the kitty. 

{ How embarrassing. }

Bee mumble as he turn to look at another corner after finding a honey beehive. 

( A darling doll! ) 

Pseudo has already grabbed the kitty who's trying to stretch from the trip he went on, finding a phantom in the multiverse is hard but getting ambushed by another weirdo who's a cat lover. 

× another cat person... × 

The darling doll in a cat form rolled his eyes but look up to see a familiar face of someone he knows.

× ah it's one of phantom batch mate. × 

( Well yes and no. )

×... × 

The darling doll pause as he realize he was understood by this person. Only one person can do that and that's the person, the reason why his traveling through the multiverse, in search of a stupid phantom to find the dollmaker.

× ... How did you...understand me. ×

Suddenly shadows of four knights appear and attacked Pseudo, causing him to let go of the kitten who flip and being caught by a shadow figure similar to his older brother.

× you have something... of a Similar of the dollmaker... ×

The cat hisses as he sees the person in front of him a threat. 

( Nonono. I can explain! )

Even through he wanted to say this he was attacked by group of shadow Clones of familiar idols and dolls. 

{ Are you seriously getting beaten up by a cat? }

From the tree line bee appear looking amuse at his companion current state. 

× oh gosh... I thought I left this damn place. The mad hatter is here... ×

( Mad hatter— ?  )

Pseudo looks in the direction of Bee after dodging a punch by the shadow clone. His eyes widen.

( OI, WHAT THE—)

He ignored the attack and made a Sky hops toward toward bee and inspecting this stupid idiot. 

( WHY ARE YOU IN THAT FORM?)

{ ... None of your business.}

Bee smack his hands away with his ruby colored lacy gloves. He scoffed at the worry of his companion as he snap his hands 

( NO! YOU KNOW THATS AU IS CRAZY! As well that alternative self of yours!! Well, you are also crazy here. so that's another one to worry about.)

Pseudo tried to reason out.

 

×au... Huh. So it's not that fuck up place full of man eating flowers.×

The cat stops disperses his shadows before he look at those two who have an outfit similar to of that place. 

(*Gasp. How can you misinterpreted and think this au of crystal hearts and faes be mangle with that twisted place?!)

× you have outfit of that place. ×

( Well I can handle it just fine. Besides I can change back to another one. It's just a 3* rate. Not a 5* rate. )

As pseudo tried to explain it, the cat who don't know what he was talking about looked at him confused.

× what. ×

{ Just ignore him. His mentally-ill. }

Bee rolled his eyes. Before he takes out an apple from his pocket. 

{[ Welcome, Halloween feist!!]}

He threw the apple up in midair suddenly it glows, before long their surroundings changed to a madness mansion. Now they are inside a living room.

{ I'm gonna go sleep, since those people will take a while to get here...Get entertained by your favorites "idols", stupid idol simp and.. cat dolly, idc what ya do.}

Bee yawns as snap his hands, 3 figures are surrounded by spider webs like a mummy walking from nowhere. The webs disperse revealing lifeless and soulless clones of the other 3(?) crazy:b from the twisted wonderland. All three have sinister looks on their face.

( OI-- OI THIS IS A BAD JOKE! GOTT!! GET AWAY FROM ME...)

Pseudo quickly enter a defense mode as the grey one offer him crepes. That's probably poisonous!

{ I can control it now... See my nails is ruby color... }

Bee can't help but sigh and facepalm as the other tried to stab the living out of the clones with a polearm he owned.

( Yeah, yeah. Last time ya did this. We get nock by your own skill! Like I'm gonna believe ya control it out of the blue and get the scr as well and makes more trouble for me!)

The worrywart smack the baby blue spider's hands that were going to give him a handshake which cause him to cry and the angry mad blue one glared at him for what he did.

( Oh crap was that spider--)

Pseudo realize he just triggered a angry mob from the susamongus blue one who's at first try to comfort the the blob blue spider before chasing the reason his little brother is crying.

{ Stupid. } 

The other one sigh but ignore his companion current situation as his not gonna have his life become past tense with how he "play"he around with those clones. He give a side look at the cat who's licking his paws.

 Before turning his heels around to go to a room, the grey spider who smile at him offered him a crepe and look at him in a daze before his stomach grumble in hunger, he accept it with a soft nod and a small tint of embarrassment from being heard how hungry he was. The grey spider pat his head as he smile at him and before he left to eat his own crepe.

LAST TIME, ON DRAGON OF ICESPIRE PEAK: Out heroes were taskedb y Falcon the Hn=unter to clean out the Woodland Manse of the . talos. granok is doing dark rituals for a isnister god. Granoth was defeated, not before he was able to send a message, proclaiming to the group that Gorthok would come. After returning to Falcon's hunting lodge, our heroes celebrated their vicftory, and took a well-deserved night's sleep. But that sense of victory wouldnt last as Gorthok the Thunderboar tore down the very walls o the lodge! Will our heroes be able to defeart gforthok and save their bac on . find out. today [blows up]

im telekinetically flinging targor around. yeet TIME FOR INITIATIVE. WAHOE targor has an initiative of pie (3.14) oh thank god, gorthok is Slow (also rolled a 3) LITTLE GUY IS A DIRE BADGER NOW we never did name nameless.

nyx: oh, i can burrow, that's interesting leo: you will be the lone survivor on account of digging in the earth for tubers

jorb: [struggling to move a guy] nyx: i like how he's teleporting around. leo: he's very indecisive about where he wants to teleport to we have immediately thrown targor to the wolves boars

EVERYBODY IS CHARGING AT ME AND FAILING TO HIT LOL oh no nevermind one rolled a nat20 while i was typing that oh dear targor is at half health already. on the opening salvo. eep LOL . THEYRE NOW THROWING JAVELINS AT ALIDAAR oh thats a 23 to hit, huh alidaar's hp is bugged uh oh. i wish it worked in my favour (i fixed it)

OPENING SALVO: ALIDAAR BLASTS LIKE 10 GUYS WITH A BREATH WEAPON. GET FUCKED LOL alidaar singlehandedly takes out like 8 guys in one go between his silver breath weapon and two-weapon fighting. get fucked lol kepesk enters a rage and takes out the guy alidaar missed! also i think i forgot to write it last time but whenever he rages he's got this like, sick-ass mask made of storm clouds and lightning

nyx: you're learning! you're becoming sentient! jorb & leo: YOU'RE SO SENTIENT TODAY

god these guys have like. no middle ground between "complete whiff" and "wrecking our shit" as far as attack rolls go. speaking of i have been javelin'd

THE BOAR CAN SHOOT LIGHTNING

jorb: ok you're gonna take 28 lightning damage green: not even that bad kepesk: [goes down to a third health]

FALCON IS HERE YEAH WOO THE HOTBOY IS HERE TO HOTGUY wait that doesnt make sense out of context. hi jorb there is a hermitcraft bit where scar tries to be hawkeye from the avengers but it sounds like he's saying "hotguy" and so now his superhero persona is hotguy. and also im calling falcon hot WHY DOES FALCON HAVE HALF OF THE PARTY'S TOTAL HP IN ONE MAN

we're still in the first round btw. they are now throwing javelins at nameless but OH MY GOD TARGOR IS NEARLY DEAD LMAO

round 2! very scuffed. alidaar ends up 3 hit comboing a Single Guy bc of an unlucky miss and im not wanting to risk another breath weapon while kepesk is in range bc uhhh 2d10 is not great when he's at 15hp. also im saving my big guns (runes + might) for when we engage the boar bc we're still thinning the crowd jorb constantly reminding us we can use our movement and then Also reminding us that if we do we will get mauled . thanks jorb (lighthearted)

successfully avoiding taking further damage by going afk (this is not true but i did go afk. it was not a cunning plan)

TIME FOR BOAR . boar has been stuck in the corner because of all the men we are slaughtering. green: he could move if he murdered the guys in the way leo: does the boar have friendly fire?

OH MY GOD KEPESK DODGED A HIT AND THEN GOT NICKED BY THE OTHER ONE AND WENT DOWN TO 2 HP. JESUS

green: this is one of those bossfights in a game where you're like "oh i'm supposed to lose" and then you lose and get a game over

nameless: KEPESK YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKER YOU CAN'T DIE ON ME kepesk: [coughing] I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT nameless: NO YOU WON'T

jorb: [yellow] is gonna throw another javelin at falcon… nyx: how many javelins does he have? jorb: …yknow, that's a good point! he's not gonna do that! jason: Magical item: bag of endless javelins

FALCON HAS A LONGSWORD. NICE falcon sucks ass at swordfighting actually. great

jorb: turns out flailing a sword around 3 times in six seconds really sacrifices the accuracy. like "[falcon voice] huh. that looked cooler in my head."

alidaar charges at the guy next to falcon, hits with dragon slayer, whiffs with silver axe, then pivots and dragon slayers the guy on his left to death. NICE. jorb: falcon says "[approving] that's what i was trying to do!" alidaar: [thumbs up]

its the return of crunchy wordpad images sorry

WHY DID THEY REDUCE EVERYONE TO CUBES anyway we have successfully turned the tide

kepesk: [bites somebody] haha, didn't even taste that good! jorb: roll a deception check. green: haha - really ?? jorb: no.

jorb: next up it is the red cultists' turn! there are none of them left.

targor: fight on! the battle is nearly won! alidaar: we still have a big boar to deal with! kepesk: i have a big boar to deal with, i'm the only one fighting it (<- the only one targeted so far) jorb: gorthok is gonna advance. kepesk: i shouldn'tve said anything!

LOL GORTHOK JUST. WHIFFS THE ATTACK ON ALI. meanwhile kepesk keeps getting electrocuted

falcon continuing to - oh no he got a 20 to hit, nice! …and then got a 12. ok well 1 out of 3 aint bad green: next time he'll hit 2, he's getting better! leo: 1 out of 3 aint bad! falcon: thanks guys, i appreciate it.

time for another silver breath weapon! god im glad i have 3 charges now. one guy left standing! (and the giant murder boar.) OOF. MAN i fus ro dah'd gorthok to try and give kepesk some breathing room and it no-selled it. not ideal. however alidaar DID then jump over kepesk's head to axe the final add so now it is just The Boar Problem OH MY GOD KEPESK COMPELLED DUEL LOL. love it when ridiculous compelled duels. nvm action economy is a mess

green: kepesk takes a look at the boar and goes BREAKFAST and bites it

following up with some nice rapier hits! woo! love that two guys have 2 actions and a bonus green: im imagining that turn as kepesk like, bites, and then does the slashing on its butt while dangling from his jaws

HAHA KEPESK - uh oh nvm i am being stomped to death . OH GOD I AM LITERALLY BEING STOMPED TO DEATH. I HAVE BEEN KNOCKED DOWN TO -1 HP. THAT'S A FIRST . we haven't had to deal with that since the manticore! holy shit!

nyx: [stammering] IM GOING T . IM GOING TO . IM GGUWH. IM G [..] im going to cast guiding bolt

oh shit, 21 radiant damage! let's go! alidaar would be cheering if he wasn't unconscious

falcon does 2 piercing damage. he's helping

alidaar status: 1 succeeded death saving throw! huagh OH GOD MY PLANS. I WAS GONNA BE THE HEAVY HITTER

green: [figuring out actions] jorb: i'm sorry, you don't get to fire ball as a bonus action. (kepesk has a necklace of fireballs! this can only end well. green has decided to not try and immolate the fort)

AAA THE BOAR IS NEARLY DONE AAAA CMONNNN KILL - OH MY GOD IT HAS RELENTLESS? IT GOT BACK UP . FUCK. BUT ALSO IT'S ON ITS LAST LEGS STILL GO - OH MY GOD KEPESK STILL HAS THE SECOND ACTION KEPESK! KILL!!!

kepesk: FALCON. TELL THE COOK GUY

ali is still dead on the ground. lol. green: you don't heal when the fight is over?? jorb: no. leo: no :( green: this sucks

alidaar is no longer dying! wahoo! nameless: you're - my friend now. you're not allowed to die. aw. and then little guy goes binturong and curls up on him. kepesk: [injured] im the one that killed the thing =/

targor: we did it! we felled the beast! a glorious battle! hahahaowww [..] targor: it would be wise to rest. kepesk: haha no it's ok [gets up] [falls back over]

calling the session early bc nyx has to do homework! gonna try and get together sooner though ^w^ this was pretty fun for a bossfight session oh god gorthok was same cr as cryovain. but we handled him pretty well i think! (<- guy who got downed)

leo: we're picking up party members left and right now nyx: we're slurping them up like jellyfish. leo: [strained] grrreEAT

Bugging Out - TickleTober2022 Day 15 (Spiders)

Expect an art piece by @giggly-squiggily! Enjoy!

Summary: When Mantis’s Ariados wants to lay on top of her, she calls the Long Leg Pokémon heavy (and you never tell a Pokémon they’re heavy, especially female Pokémon). Fortunately, Ariados knows the perfect solution to make her trainer regret her words.

Word Count: 955

Mantis. The Bug-type Gym Leader of Grandisle City. This young trainer loves anything and everything Bug-types. Ironically, when Mantis was younger, she was mortified by Bug-type Pokémon; until an Ariados saved her from getting attacked by a wild Pokémon. After Ariados rescued her, the two became inseparable. Thanks to her Ariados, Mantis has mastered the ways of Bug-type Pokémon.

"Combusken, use Flame Charge!" cried a trainer.

The Young Fowl Pokémon clucked out a cry before cloaking itself in flames. It then charged at the Long Leg Pokémon with blazing speed.

"Dodge it!" Mantis cried.

The Ariados hissed before moving out of the Combusken's way.

"Now, use Double Team!" Mantis cried.

The Long Leg Pokémon clicked as it made multiple copies of itself, surrounding the Youg Fowl Pokémon.

"Now, use Pin Missile!" Mantis said.

The Ariados hissed as the appendages on their backs started glowing green. Then, at once, the Ariados fired their attacks upon the Pokémon in front of them.

"Get out of there, Combusken!" the trainer cried.

Before the Fire-type could move, it got bashed by the Bug-type attack. When the smoke cleared, the Young Fowl Pokémon was unconscious.

"Combusken is unable to battle. The winner is Ariados," said the referee, "The victory goes to the gym leader, Mantis!"

The trainer sighed as he retracted his fallen companion.

"You were amazing, Combusken," he said, "Take a nice long rest."

"That was an awesome battle, kid!" Mantis said, walking up to her challenger, "Ariados and I enjoyed it, right, girl?"

The Ariados clicked out a cheer-filled cry.

"Thanks for battling me, Mantis," the trainer said, "When I come back, I'll beat you for sure!"

"I'll be waiting!" Mantis said with a smile.

After saying goodbye, the trainer ran out the doors, the crisp afternoon air filling the gym. The young Bug-type trainer sighed before walking out of the gym with her Ariados by her side.

"Let's head home." Mantis said, glancing at the Long Leg Pokémon.

Ariados clicked and nodded its head. Closing up the gym, Mantis and her partner headed to their apartment building. When the pair arrived at the apartment, they walked inside and took the elevator to the top floor. When the elevator stopped, Mantis walked onto the building's terrace and breezed in the afternoon breeze.

"This is the life." Mantis said, leaning against the guardrails.

Her Ariados clicked out a cry, agreeing with its trainer. Mantis grinned before going to sit on a nearby chair. The Long Leg Pokémon scuttled next to its master and looked at her with pleading eyes.

"Fine, you can lay on my lap." Mantis said with a fond eye-roll.

The Ariados happily cried out as it bounced onto its trainer.

"Geez, I keep forgetting how heavy you are." Mantis said, choking out a breath.

The Long Leg Pokémon looked at its trainer and let out a cry.

"Sorry, girl, but you are almost 74 pounds." Mantis said.

The Ariados hissed as it stared into its trainer's eyes.

"You're Scary Face doesn't affect me, hun," Mantis said with a grin, "Sorry."

Ariados clicked before looking away from its trainer. Then, the Long Leg Pokémon got an idea. It turned back to its master and let out a cry.

"Hm? What is it, girl?" Mantis asked.

The Ariados clicked happily before using its front legs to poke at Mantis's sides. The young gym leader yelped before reducing into a fit of giggles.

"Hehehey! Ariadohohohos, nohohoo!" Mantis cried, "I-I never taught you Tihihihihickle!"

The Long Leg Pokémon cried out as its legs poked up and down her ribs, dangerously getting closer to the gym leader's armpits.

"W-Wahahahait! Ariahahadohohos!" Mantis giggled, "Don't go any hihhigheheher!"

The Long Leg Pokémon clicked in response as it ignored its trainer's pleas, casually poking at the gym leader's armpits. Mantis squealed as she tried to push her Pokémon off her.

"Ahahahahehehe! Stahahaaaap!" Mantis half-whined, half-laughed, "Get ohohohohohout!"

Ariados clicked happily before scuttling up along Mantis's body.

"Ariadohohohohohos! Please, get ohohohohoff!" Mantis giggled, "You're really heheheheheavyhyhyhyhy!"

The Long Leg Pokémon hissed before nuzzling its head against Mantis's neck.

"Stop it, girl, plehehehehehease!" Mantis giggled, gently pushing at the Pokémon's head.

The Long Leg Pokémon made a sound as if it were laughing. Using the pincers on its mouth, the affectionate Pokémon started nibbling on its master's neck, causing Mantis to dissolve into hysterics.

"ARIADOS, NONONOHOHOHOHOHO!" Mantis laughed, "PLEHEHEHASE! IT TIHIHICKLEHEHEHEHES!"

Ariados happily cried out as it used its legs to poke and prod at its trainer's sides and armpits, sending Mantis into a frenzy of laughter.

"NOT FAIR! NOT FAHAHAHAAAIR!" Mantis cried, "THAT TIHIHICKLEHEHES SO BAHAHAAD!"

The Long Leg Pokémon clicked happily as it continued to playfully torment its trainer.

"COME OHOHOHOHOHON, GIRL! STAHAHAAAAP!" Mantis cackled, "I'M TOO TIHIHICKLISH FOR THIHIHIHIHIS!"

Ariados shook its head as it started nibbling on Mantis's collarbone, causing the gym leader to squeal.

"AHAHAAAAAHEHEHEHEE! THAHAHAT'S CHEHEHEHEHEATING!" Mantis cried, "W-WHYHYHYHYHY ARE YOU DOING THIHIHIHIHIS!?"

Ariados cried out before laying flat on her trainer's chest, the tickling halting. The gym leader choked out an airy giggle when her Pokémon did this.

"I-Ihihis it because I cahahalled you heheheavy?" Mantis asked, giggling as she panted.

Ariados looked at its trainer and nodded. A tired smile appeared on the gym leader's face.

"I'm sorry, girl," Mantis said as she placed a hand on her partner, "I shouldn't have called you heavy. Can you ever forgive me?"

The Long Leg Pokémon happily cried out as it nuzzled its cheek against its trainers.

"H-Hehehey! Easy, gihihihirl!" Manits giggled, "That still tihihicklehehehes!"

The Ariados ignored its trainer and continued to nuzzle its master, throwing Mantis into another fit of giggles. Let this be a lesson: never call your Pokémon heavy, especially if that Pokémon is a female.

kingdom hearts post again. dream drop distance is kind of sucking dick right now so i've been playing very little of it at a time. i might not come back to it ever so i'll just give my thoughts now the story hasn't actually gone anywhere yet, it's just teasing you with the idea that maybe it will! here are a bunch of randos from the other games isn't that crazy! pretty frustrating, i want stuff to actually happen. also, sora's more kh1 reminiscent design here really clashes with the post-2 voice and it bugs me. there are these optional story things in-between worlds (sometimes in the middle). the chronicles are nice and i appreciate it telling me what happens in the games i didn't play, but the optional cutscenes are weird. is it just so people who're only kind of engaged in the story can skip those but watch everything else? the gameplay has been sped up, which i'm not against but it was done in a weird way. feels like only the startup was reduced and the recovery of everything is still the same. combos are especially rough, the actual attacks are faster but you have to wait as long between them?? commands are back and they're good. they still work. balloon is kind of busted but that's probably for the best anyways. i just don't like how you have to fuck with the spirit system to get new ones. i don't like spirits. they really easily just get lost and stop engaging in the fight, never feels like they contributed all that much aside from a heal once or twice. also sometimes they'll teleport to catch up and it always startles me because they don't look that different from the enemies. speaking of, the enemies feel too strong here. not numbers or stats-wise, moreso their moves. so many of them have attacks with a lot of range, and you can be fighting like 7 at once, so you're just gonna get hit by stuff that was offscreen all the time. most enemies can be skipped through flowmotion though. i like having a movement system to make all the walking a little more engaging but this is kind of too far, you can just fly over everything as long as wherever you are has walls and a high enough ceiling. can't get staggered during flowmotion attacks so it's at least useful for normal encounters. kind of annoying for bosses since they don't do that much damage and you can trigger flowmotion from, like, rolling into a wall. bosses are already annoying enough, too. they're all big guys that don't get staggered by anything and most of them don't have reasonably sized windows to attack after you dodge something, so they kind of drag on. though part of that's probably just critical mode + skipping a bunch of enemies and missing out on xp talking, i wasn't doing that much damage with non-balloons. the drop system is fine? i think the timer isn't super well paced, without any modifiers you end up dropping ~90% of the way through most worlds so you go do riku's 90% and drop back to wrap up the like two fights you had left. though you get so many drop-me-nots and there's the thing that slows it down, so you can get past that annoyance pretty easily.

overall it's like on the edge of being fun. i'd probably enjoy it enough if the bosses and basic enemies were more fun to fight, but as it stands there's just not much to enjoy. i'll probably just watch the cutscenes online and play re:coded instead.

I played Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 today

Okay... so... I was very hyped for this game... until it was revealed that they cut a huge number of the playable characters from the last game, so many cuts that the roster is the same size as the last games... and some of the cuts are... really bad. They cut characters who were main characters, they cut characters who were the ONLY character representing their series, they cut popular characters... And because of these cuts, the characters that DID get in kind of leave me feeling mixed about them rather than looking at them as a "more cakes" situation.

I'm going to put those feelings aside for now, because, while crossover platform fighters are kind of built to be fan service games, there's more to them than fan service. And this does look to be, mechanically speaking, an upgrade on the last game, and a more meaty experience too.

However, against my better judgement, I bought the switch version. I was hoping to one day play this at a friends house... but holy shit, the performance. I might be too embarrassed to play this with friends... It's just like Slime Speedway.. There's a few bugs too, mostly occuring during loading. Music tracks not stopping when they're supposed to, I actually got a freeze when loading the next level, but I couldn't tell it was a freeze at first because the music was still playing. Actually the loading screens seem to be the most prone to bugging.

These things aside, after getting used to the new moves, I will say this is indeed a fun game to play. Everything works. It's a bit closer to Smash Bros now than NASB was, what with strong attacks now being chargeable, and dodge rolling being introduced. Also the characters having a final smash type move that, thankfully solves a problem I have with Smash. Instead of just pressing the special button to use it, you have to hold the trigger button and hit the special button to use it, no more using it on accident because your meter fills the exact moment you were going to use a neutral special attack.

Also, the Adventure mode is no Subspace emmisary, it's kind of like a cross between Melee's Adventure mode and World of Light. There's also unique character interactions when you encounter NPCs your character is familiar with, they're not just sing stock voice clips this time. Though some of the characters aren't voiced by the same person, or their voice actor has aged, so GIR sings the Doom Song, but it's an octave deeper than i'm used to. I've only played one platforming level, but therhe were no enemies, but there are also levels where you are battling lowly enemies in waves. Lowly Jellyfish, Shredder;s Food Soldiers, the pirates that made the exploding pie, and some kind of flying inect robot among them so far, and there's bosses as well.

So, I'm sure this game is great, but if you have something more powerful than a Switch, buy it on that unless you need this game to be portable, and expect to have your heart broken by at least one of the character cuts.

Space Marine 2 is Gears of War on steroids, and a treat for 40k fans

40k Warhammer Space Marine 2 is primarily a third-person shooter and just secondarily a Warhammer 40k game. That's not to suggest that a sequel to the tale of Titus, a former Firstborn Captain of the Ultramarines Space Marine Chapter, won't be given to ardent aficionados of the universe, but if, like me, it means little to you, Space Marine 2 won't lose you in the minutiae of its lore. After playing an hour of Space Marine 2’s second level and having a chat with Saber Interactive creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick at Gamescom 2023, it became very clear to me that the team is aiming to strike a balance between doing right by longtime fans and people like me when the Space Marine 2 release date rolls around later this year. Hollis-Leick played Dawn of War 2 when it came out and has read so many Warhammer 40k books and novels that I imagine he has whole shelves dedicated to the series, but that doesn’t mean he’s not thinking about new fans. “How do we make it feel accessible to someone who’s got no familiarity with whatsoever?” Hollis-Leick ponders. “We worked with Games Workshop to relax some of the terminology where possible, to use more common terms to make this a little bit easier to understand. Also, I wanted to avoid massive exposition dumps at the start of the game about what Aterian is, what a Rubicon Primaris is, and all that stuff. So it was a combination of simplification and drip-feeding as much visual storytelling as possible.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzucEQ-VhHQ That visual storytelling is immediately evident too, with a massive mud-drenched battlefield opening up the second level while soldiers bark orders at one another and fight the Tyranids – Warhammer 40k’s aliens that are reminiscent of the bugs in Starship Troopers – as they come running at you in droves. There’s so much in the character design and world itself that isn’t outright explained, and yet Space Marine 2 absolutely feels part of a larger universe that easily welcomes you into its mechanics. Warhammer 40k fans will not be left wanting, I’m sure of it, even if the presentation isn’t immediately lore-heavy. While Space Marine 2 is not a cover shooter, instead opting for a blend of ranged and melee combat against hordes of enemies that you can tackle in up to three-player co-op, it will definitely appeal to fans of that genre. If you thought the jacked dudes, screaming, and gore of Gears of War was intense, Space Marine 2 dials that up to 11 while offering you a smooth blend of ranged and melee combat. Because Saber Interactive is leveraging its tech from 2019’s World War Z, Space Marine 2 will see you fending off hordes of enemies as they scramble over each other to reach your position, and when they do you’ll need to dodge roll, melee attack, and parry your way around the battlefield. Space Marine 2 is a delicate dance of off-the-cuff judgments, where your choice comes down to point-blank executions or chainsaws through the chest. “We felt that the story of a Space Marine cannot be told without that epic scale,” Hollis-Leick adds. “So there is a lot of sort of programming wizardry that goes into it, we have to be very efficient with graphics.” You’ll see swarms of Tyranids from hundreds of meters away bearing down on you like a flock of birds, only for them to push right up to your position and charge you without a second thought. Space Marine 2 is a successful exercise in over-the-top game design. You’re controlling an eight-foot-tall immortal man who likely weighs over 1,000kgs in armor, and you’re somehow gliding around the battlefield like an Olympic figure skater. While that might sound like it shouldn’t work on screen, it really does. The movement and gunplay are top-tier, and this is what makes it appeal to anyone who doesn’t know their Space Marines. The core experience of Space Marine 2 is so good that newbies won’t feel lost, but while big fans will definitely still get what they want. If you’re also a fantasy gamer, we’ve got all the best Warhammer games you’ll ever need as well, alongside some brilliant co-op games to keep your squad busy in the meantime. Read the full article
