Ch 20: Keep Your Hands Off Planet Earth
Tumblr media
UMA Galaxy has been unleashed! And it's the last chapter of this arc! And we get multiple double page spreads! And I have ridiculous theories to share!
Tumblr media
Move is an UMA under control of the Union that looks like a monster with a body made of board game parts. It looks kind of like The Game of Life.
His head is a die that has Roman numerals on it. Do they refer to the Negator seats numbers?
Move is such a weird and abstract concept. Like what is a world without Move like??
Our characters can obviously move without Move's help, but when they use his power, they can be moved to a new location anywhere in the world. It looks like Move creates pathways or portals to other parts of the world.
Move allows the author to break normal rules of physics and have characters that appear out of thin air instantly for various plot reasons. The concept of "Move" seems like a really basic aspect of storytelling and world building, so he must be important.
The Union is transported to Uluru in Australia. IRL, this rock formation has a lot of cultural stories about world-creation, ancient history, animals, and people. It makes sense that it would be the symbolic location for Earth to make a stand against aliens.
Nico's helpful assistants fill the Negators in on what physical and cultural changes have occurred. (So now we know Victor was from a place that already had Galaxy!)
Tumblr media
and we get this wicked double page spread:
Tumblr media
They're the Acks! And they have axe armor! And their ships have axes on them! And they blow up Uluru!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Juiz is so badass here
Tumblr media
Juiz was probably going to destroy them no matter what crazy ultimatum they gave, but she handled it with such grace and simplicity. I adore this spread:
Tumblr media
Damn, Juiz can reverse someone's ideal justice. That's wild. And since the Acks wanted humans to be wiped out, her ability makes them turn their weapons on each other and wipe themselves out. Brutal.
Moving on, I'm about to get weird.
The Acks fit neatly into my theory that UU is a story about writing. The threat from Acks and their axes were a grave danger to our characters' world. And what's the greatest threat to a manga writer? Getting axed. It would mean that the story wasn't allowed to continue.
This Axe/Acks thing sounds good, but I might be totally wrong. For one, "Axe" and "Acks" are spelled with different katakana. Plus, I don't really know if "to axe something" is a known English phrase in Japan. The verb used for manga cancelled suddenly is more likely to be 打ち切る uchikiru, "to cancel, to terminate." I don't even know if Tozuka speaks English.
But he does use a lot of foreign words in his manga, and the aliens clearly have axes on them, and it fit the theory too well not to mention it.
ANYWAY, Juiz reveals the existence of a stone tablet that's keeping track of the number of penalties. We're now up to 99, and there are 101 slots. The 101st slot is labeled Ragnarok.
I think it's weird that the stone tablet doesn't have a name and isn't mentioned as being an artifact. Juiz says that they found it at the same time as Apocalypse.
Is it possible that Apocalypse isn't just the book, but the book and tablet are a set named Apocalypse?
Fuuko, Andy, and Tatiana are sent to seek out Unrepair. Andy seems to agree to the mission simply to pay back his favor to the Union rather than to actually do his assigned duties. I need him to commit to the Union! Because if he's still intent on dying, then they'll have to recruit even more members!

Sorry if this has already been asked before but why did the band break up? And did they break up on decent terms? Do they still talk to each other sometime?
It has been asked before, I just never answered jshfbdjcbh I'm still piecing everything together and stuff is changing or getting tweaked all the time, so I'm always super hesitant about answering these types of questions, afraid that people will take whatever I say as the final answer. So basically what I'm going to answer now will already contradict what I told some people already. And maybe in the future the story might go a little differently too (although I'm pretty satisfied with the current events)
Uhhh, get ready for a long info dump. I didn't expect I'd write this much...
Floyd basically stayed with the band for 8 years (from 14 till 22) and got pretty messed up in the process. The rest of the guys are all quite older than him so I guess I could say they were more responsible, or at least had a better understanding of their own limits (also they grew up in this kind of environment or grew up aware of it, while Floyd was oblivious and naive about all of it) and while they do get drunk and do drugs often, none of them are really dependent on them. They are also pretty good judges of character and know how to avoid trouble. Floyd on the other hand drove in with no breaks and constantly got himself in trouble that the rest (mostly Les) had to drag him out of. He also developed bipolar during this time (in my story Floyd constantly fluctuates between being saturated and being desaturated because of this) and his manic and depressive episodes started getting out of hand after his teenage years. (None of them are aware it's a mental disorder that's making him act so out of character.)
Floyd was becoming miserable because of this and all of his problems pilling up, and started blaming Les for the way he was. Les never argued this which only fueled Floyd to blame him more. In the end he was getting so frustrated and irritable that Floyd constantly tried starting arguments with him, even putting him down and getting aggressive at times because Les gets very unresponsive and closed off during personal conversations (guy is a giant onion of suppressed trauma that Floyd is hellbent on peeling open).
Eventually there was one fight too many, terrible things were said, some objects flew through the air, and Floyd walked out (or Hed kicked him out, I haven't decided yet) with the promise of going home and never seeing them again.
So, yeah, it was very messy and Floyd was the primary asshole, even though he's not really to blame either...
But Floyd didn't make it home (was too scared to sneak through Bergen Town to get to the tree (i don't think i can judge him for that either)) and he just returned to the reckless lifestyle, this time without anyone being there to keep him safe. So if he was messed up before, this is the time period where he got absolutely fucked up. This is also when he got heavily addicted to sour worms. And when he chronically slept around (half the time just to get offered free worms or have somewhere to sleep, other times because he was having manic episodes and was feeling hypersexual). (This is also potentially the period when he had the two eggs with that techno troll, but I'm still thinking if I want that to be canon to the story or not.) During this time he also grew to become very anxious and his self-confidence went to shit when he was being himself.
Then after about three years of that, he bumped into Les at some party. He wanted to dodge him out of shame but Les grabbed his arm and manhandled him outside to talk. Floyd felt like shit about the way they had split up and tried apologizing for all the stuff he had said and done to Les, but Les wasn't having any of that because he wasn't angry at Floyd, he was just worried about him. Les is also insanely empathetic like Floyd, and he knew that Floyd never really meant any of it, and that he was just looking for an outlet when he was hurting. Also he does think he is to blame for the way Floyd ended up.
Tumblr media
Les wanted to know why he didn't go home like he had said (because that was the only reason Les had even let him walk out in the first place). A few exchanged words later and Floyd broke down telling him all the awful things he'd done, and Les promised to help him, feeling insanely guilty. Floyd wondered if he was allowed back in the band but Les made it clear that the band wasn't good for him and that he was never taking him back. Instead Les helped him go though rehab. I don't think trolls have those institutions (or at least not many are aware of them or how they work (I'm sorry but I refuse to believe the Trolls world has internet and cellphones, Mountrageons can keep that for themselves lol)), so it was more or less just Les finding Floyd a job and his own place to stay in the middle of bumfuck nowhere where he had no option but to detox, and constantly checking up on him to make sure he was doing okay. During this time they grew pretty close again. Or maybe the better term would be that Les slowly started putting his walls down again.
Hed needed a while to warm up to Floyd again. He's almost as protective of Les as Les is of him, and he resented Floyd for the way he had treated him.
Flea is pretty phlegmatic when it comes to any sort of arguing or drama. He was casual about seeing Floyd again, they were never super close anyway.
And Liv, she left the band when she and Hed broke up (haven't decided if that happened before or after Floyd left), so Floyd didn't get to see her again after bumping into Les at the party. And I haven't thought yet if they'd ever meet again somewhere later in life. But if they did, I think they'd both be happy to see each other.
Anyway...
Floyd managed to detox and successfully kept the job for about a year, but then he became manic again and messed it all up. After that he returned to his nomadic lifestyle, but he never fell as hard as those three years again. In my story Floyd's life is a constant cycle of getting his life together and fucking it up and booking to the next place. And he and Les are trapped in a never-ending cat and mouse game where they're both trying to fix each other.
So, uh, Les and Floyd are still very close and see each other somewhat often...
(sometimes monthly, sometimes yearly)
Yeah...
I am so fucking obsessed with them I'm gonna hurl. Please take this song before I combust:

been thinking about how in a couple of different interviews, barry has brought up that he played five different olivers chronologically thru the movie. i've been fiddling with my theories as to where each oliver ends and a new one begins and have roughly landed here but would love to hear other ideas:
oliver 1: oxford, watching and wanting felix. an outsider, batting up against the window, just desperate to get in. begins observing everything: details of felix's life, details of farleigh's life, begins orchestrating his performance for felix, setting the stage for whatever will get him into the spotlight.
oliver 2: saltburn, pre-bathtub, the best few months of his life, living in felix's light. this is the dream. he will cling onto it and comb over it and jerk off to it and wonder how he could ever get it back.
oliver 3: saltburn, post-bathtub, post-pamela, understanding how precarious his position is, losing felix quickly, making risky, desperate moves in an attempt to regain his attention. eating holes in everything and becoming a toy that felix doesn't want to play with anymore.
oliver 4: saltburn, post-confession, post-licking-the-fucking-plate, confused by his own obsession and pivoting toward preserving and not letting anyone remove him from what he thinks is rightfully his: felix's space and felix's role and felix's memory
oliver 5: post-post-saltburn, monologuing to his final victim, justifying his actions in any way possible, an obsession that has festered for more than a decade, re-realized in his obsession with his self and his work. oliver in his most catton-like state. denying that the desire was ever there. has a complete and utter horror of the ugliness he's committed. a beautiful man in his beautiful house, surrounded by beautiful things. finally free from want.

Are you still active on tumblr?
YES I am!! Sorry friends for dropping off the face of the earth, I got a job and I had to move and it was a lot. But I am less stressed now and I hope I can get back to posting more regularly!! I really missed it (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧
I will never leave tumblr because there is no other place on the internet where I can tell people that 80% of the time when I try to introduce myself to someone in the office that I haven’t met yet I get so focused on smiling and holding eye contact that I forget the part where I actually have to introduce myself (°□°)
Tumblr media
#HELLO FRIENDS#how are you!! I missed you! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ#I hope you all had a good summer!!#mine was very nice even though there was a lot of stress and new things happening#suddenly there were so many adult things in my life that at the end of the day I just sat on the couch and watched decorating shows#I love decorating shows but today they showed this decorating competition and one woman had to decorate her whole bedroom coral#and then I knew it was time to go back#friends I've done so many new things the past few weeks!! I've really underestimated what this new chapter of my life would be like#it's very nice and I'm glad but I've never thought about things like insurance and taxes and parallel parking before#and I'm in a new apartment and everything!! ✧⁺⸜(●′▾‵●)⸝⁺✧#it is a very good apartment but the landlord left us so many of their chairs#this does not sound like a problem but we also owned chairs before#so our chair number is doubled now#the kitchen is full of chairs the balcony is full of chairs#I've hidden two chairs behind the TV but I can still see their chair heads and then I feel bad because they do not deserve this#they should be roaming free#also rode a BIKE#they say you never forget how to ride a bike#but my secret is that I never really knew how to ride one#in Germany all students have to do a bicyle test in fourth grade and I was so bad that my teacher asked me#afterwards if I had tried to confuse the other students#I just said 'uh yes' and then he said ok and I passed with the worst bicyle grade of the whole school#I hade made 8 bicyle mistakes#I hope you're doing well friends!! see you soon!!#have a nice day :)

i literally was thinking about this yesterday before going to sleep.. small joys really go a long way. i learned this the hard way but, if you spend your entire life waiting for an epiphany where you'll finally experience this everlasting happiness then, odds are you'll never truly be happy..

((I am, in fact, going to take a quick moment to say: you are actively skewing the votes for no reason if you're treating "Could not, would die" as a default response for "I don't know this character". Like, as this blog goes on, it's almost inevitable that the characters are going to get more and more obscure, and you just can't know EVERY character. That's not how anything works. I don't know 80% of the characters on the blog RIGHT NOW because I don't intake most media, but I sure as hell do at least ten minutes of skimming a wiki page. If you don't have the time for that, then just vote based off of vibes. But, and I will repeat this, I am NOT going to make a "Show answers" option because I think that's a waste of time, so stop using "would beef it entirely" as the option for that and be just even the slightest bit cerebral.
In other words, I can only say someone with literal anti-death magic or whatever but has no fandom on this website is going to die miserably so many times before I just think it isn't fun anymore.))

Not to smash my previous hyperfixation with my current one or anything but pro-wrestling au?
-TF141 is the face faction, crowd loves them and loves this extended storyline happening where Simon is torn between the Ghost faction and the 141. They have the most fanfiction written about them and Price absolutely gets daddy chants.
-the Ghosts are the spooky faction a la House of Black. Scary, not really on anyone's side but their own, arrogant, horror coded.
-the Shadows are the heel faction, Philip Graves is very much a love(lust) to hate him kind of villain. The betrayal storyline with him, the 141 and Los Vaqueros? Considered the best storyline of the year, the Shadows really got booed after that.
-Konig is a monster heel in the style of Kane during the attitude era where he is falling in love left, right and centre but cannot be normal about it so is kidnapping women to be his bride.
-Los Vaqueros are from good luchador stables and the crowd loses their shit anytime its a Mexican crowd. They are absolute babyfaces.
-Kate Laswell is the general manager who takes no shit from anyone.
-Alex is a ref with a tragic backstory, used to be tag champion then had an accident and lost his leg. Farah is his tag partner who is desperately trying to get him back on the mat as a wrestler again.
-Reader is one of the backstage interviewers who keeps getting dragged into storylines. Sort of finds themselves being dragged in every direction during a lot of faction wars.
-if you want to break kayfaybe, then you keep getting romance storylines pitched to you by everyone. Like obviously this isn't them asking you out, this is them proposing they kiss you every week on TV for the plot.

I came up with an idea for a fic that I’m calling the six seeds au
Will is a dumbass and skips off to the underworld alone to bring Jason back for Nico. he can’t bring Jason back but he strikes a deal with Hades that will link his soul to Jason’s and partially bind him to the underworld, so Will spends six months of the year in the underworld while Jason is in the world of the living, then they switch for the next six months. so, similar to Persephone. or Dumuzid and Geshtinanna in Mesopotamian mythology. Will eats six pomegranate seeds to seal the deal, hence the name of the au.
now obviously this whole “I only get to see Will and Jason for half the year and never at the same time” thing wouldn’t be ideal for Nico and of course he’s upset with Will for doing something so reckless and sacrificial. but the real problem is that Will cannot survive in the underworld. it’s draining him more and more every day. there’s no way he’s even going to make it to the end of his first six months. and since his soul is now tied to Jason’s, this means that Jason is dying, too.
so Nico has to march up to his dad like “hey wtf” and Hades might regret not taking into consideration that Will’s a little Sun baby and can’t survive in the underworld and he might feel bad for doing this to his son so he might let slip that maybe a certain cure (one Nico may be familiar with) could break Will from the vow to stay in the underworld for half the year.
so now Jason and Nico have to go on a quest to get the physician’s cure. and Jason is dying because Will is dying. also maybe Will is sometimes in Jason’s head adding commentary through their soul bond because I think that would be funny.
and uhhh yeah that’s all I’ve got for now but idk I think this fic sounds fun so maybe I’ll come back to this
