My cousins convinced me to play AI dungeon with them for the first time last night.

What follows is a transcript. With a little minor editing to clean it up and make it presentable.

For context: (me) You are Morven, a teenage vampire with blue hair in a mohawk, dressed like a punk band reject. (my cousin) Officer Fluffette Puppypaws is a short, chubby werewolf, with a collar on. (my other cousin) Officer Johnny Law is a tall, thin “human”. It was a dark and stormy night...

The lights flickered in the seemingly abandoned house on the edge of town. The sound of the rain drops pelting the windows and roof could be heard as you sat in the dark living room. There's a knock on the door. You open it to find two figures standing there. They are two police officers.

"Hello there, son. We've had some reports of a prowler in the area. Can we come in?" one of the officers says to you.

"Um, yeah."

The officers step inside and introduce themselves as Officer Johnny Law and Officer Fluffette Puppypaws. You offer them a slice of cake.

"I didn't know we were having a party," Officer Johnny Law says.

"Oh, this is just a leftover piece of cake from my sister's wedding. Have a seat."

Officer Fluffette sits on the floor, tail wagging, "Well, this is comfy."

Officer Johnny Law looks at the slice of wedding cake in his hand. He seems puzzled.

"What kind of cake is this?" Officer Johnny Law asks.

"Red velvet," you say.

"This isn't red velvet. This is blood."

You notice that a maddening hunger begins to overcome Officer Johnny Law. His pupils are like pinpoints, and his fangs have descended.

You say, "Whoa, man, it's vegan!" But Officer Johnny Law lunges at you with the slice of red velvet cake.

"Nobody should know my secret," he says in a deep voice. You fight Officer Johnny Law for the cake knife. Fluffette ignores the fight, scarfing down red velvet cake, which is now all over the floor. She seems to love the taste of it. She stands up and lets out a long, blood-curdling howl. She grows hair all over her body until she is hair from head to toe. You and Johnny stop and stare at Fluffette, puzzled.

"What just happened?" you ask. Fluffette has turned into a werewolf. Fluffette pauses, noticing the attention, cake all over her muzzle.

"Whuff?" she asks through a mouthful of cake.

"Um, nothing," you say nervously. Officer Johnny Law lets you pick yourself up off the floor. You dust yourself off and ask, "So, uh, what's this about a prowler?" Officer Johnny Law says, "We got a call that there was a prowler in this neighborhood."

"Oh, that. Nah, I was just seeking shelter from the storm." You say, "I live here, this is my house."

"Do you own this house?"

"Yeah. I bought it from the bank."

Officer Johnny Law says, "There's been a housing shortage ever since Werewolves Inc. moved in across town." Officer Johnny Law glares at Fluffette, who stares back innocently, face full of red velvet cake.

"We've had to relocate most of the town."

You say, "You can move them in here if you want. There's plenty of room."

Officer Johnny Law says, "I'll be right back. I'm calling for backup."

"Sure," you say, "Whatever you need to do."

Officer Johnny Law calls his friends over as you show them around the house. Johnny Law's friends remake the entire house over, to be a disco club. Johnny Law rips off his uniform to reveal a sequined white disco jumpsuit underneath.

"What is this?" you ask.

"This is a raid. I'm sorry, man."

You hear sirens outside. The police burst into the house with their weapons drawn. You look around in complete and utter confusion.

"I was just trying to have some cake," you say. They don't listen. They beat you into submission with rubber hoses. You are handcuffed and dragged to your feet. Fluffette growls at the officers arresting you, hackles rising. She lunges at the officer nearest you.

"Aw, sick!" you say, snapping the handcuffs and suplexing the other officer.

"Yeah!" you say as the police stare in bewildered silence, "Sic 'em, girl!"

Your pet wolf mauls the two police officers.

"Don't just stand there, shoot her!" Johnny Law grabs Fluffette by the collar and says, "Bad dog! Heel!"

Your pet wolf snaps at Johnny, but he manages to hold her back. Your pet growls, and obeys the order. You grab a handful of cake off the floor and shove it into Officer Johnny Law's face while grabbing Fluffette's collar and unfastening it.

"Stay frosty!" you shout, exploding into bats.

Officier Johnny Law wipes the frosting off his face, then catches sight of you fleeing out the door. "Shi-," he says, but Fluffette leaps onto him and knocks him over.

Fluffette races out the door after you. You both escape into the night.

"Do you have any ideas?" you ask. Fluffette barks.

"Yeah, I don't have my license on me." you reply.

You turn to Fluffette and say, "Do you know where the witch's house is? We need to borrow a broom."

She barks, and runs down the sidewalk.

"The bakery's that way," you say in confusion. She continues barking. You shrug, and follow her.

Back at the house, Johnny Law is enraged at Fluffette's betrayal. He curses, and chases you into the night.

You head to the bakery, where you find Agnus waiting for you.

"Come on!" she shouts. "Get in here!"

"Oh! How did you know we were coming?" you ask, ducking inside and hiding behind the door, Fluffette right behind you.

"It's my job to know. Now come on, the others are waiting." Agnus pulls you in the back room and slams the door shut.

"The others?" you ask, baffled.

"Yeah, the rest of the witches, you doofus. Now hurry up and change, there's a mob outside."

You glance down at Fluffette, confused, but decide to go along with it. You hurriedly drag the clothes Agnus gives you on over the clothes you were wearing and follow her. You shrug.

"I'm ready."

Agnus grabs you by the shoulders and looks into your eyes.

"Personal space!" you squeak.

"Listen. You're human now. You can never reveal that you're a vampire."

"I know that!" you say, annoyed.

"If they find out, they'll kill you."

Leading the mob outside, Johnny Law casts Revealing Disco Balls to see all around him.

"I can see you! You're going down, vampire scum!"

"Is he talking to us?" you ask. Agnus nods grimly.

"But he's a vampire too," you say, gesturing towards the mob outside with a look of annoyance. Fluffette barks in agreement.

"Shut up. Oh, and your name's Agrippina," says Agnus as she opens the door slowly. Agnus walks ahead of you, down the stairs. You follow her.

"But I don't want my name to be Agrippina," you grumble, following along behind.

"I've decided it's going to be Agrippina," says Agnus. You reach the bottom of the stairs, and Agnus throws open the door. A bloodthirsty crowd awaits you. Agnus throws a bunch of dried garlic into their midst, and they back away.

"Make it quick," she says, and pushes you forward.

"Make what quick?!" you ask, somewhat panicked, "You gave us zero instructions!" Fluffette chases the dried garlic excitedly, mistaking it for a ball.

"Just go with it!" says Agnus. You step forward, and the townspeople corner you and begin chanting "Burn the witch! Burn the witch! Burn the witch!"

Just then, Johnny Law and his mob of disco dancers appear around the corner, chanting, "Disco's not dead!" over and over. You look from one mob to the other in confusion.

"Who should we kill?" you ask. Agnus appears behind you.

"None of them!" she hisses. "Kill none of them. The garlic will protect you."

Fluffette returns to your side, garlic in mouth, tail wagging furiously. You look down at her and think for a moment. As the mobs converge in front of you, you finally realize what must be done.

"Wait!" you shout at the top of your lungs, throwing your arms in the air. The mobs both stop and look at you.

"I know what we have to do!" you shout, "This calls for a dance-off!"

The vampires and werewolves go wild with excitement. You look nervously at Agnus, who shrugs.

"I guess it beats slaughter," she says.

Johnny Law steps up as the first challenger.

"I will take you on in dance battle for the lives of your friends!"

"You're on," you say.

Johnny removes his hat and coat, tossing them aside. He begins to bust a move.

You do the Mashed Potato and then do the Twist.

The crowd goes wild.

You continue dancing, trading off partners and throwing in choreographed moves. You're having so much fun that you forget all your troubles.

Johnny Law does a 360 no-scope head twirl followed by a pelvic thrust.

The crowd explodes as you hit the finale: The Carlton Dance.

Everyone goes wild. The werewolves howl, and the vampires hiss. You take a bow, and then bend down to pet Fluffette.

In the final battle of the disco dance-off, you face off against Johnny Law, winner takes all.

The crowd goes wild.

You begin the dance-off with a series of backflips, handsprings, and cartwheels.

Johnny attempts a backflip, but lands on his head. He is OK, and tries again, but doesn't land it.

You show off your prowess with the Matrix moves, and do the Cabbage Patch.

Johnny does the Running Man, but trips over his feet and falls into the crowd. Some of the crowd begins to boo him.

You take advantage of Johnny's fall with a series of expertly performed backflips. The crowd is on their feet, cheering you on.

Johnny attempts another cartwheel, but falls on his face again. The crowd begins to boo him. He tries another cartwheel, but hits his head on the base of Agnus' throne. The vampire crowd begins to hiss at him.

Meanwhile, you do the Funky Chicken and the Robot.

The crowd goes wild.

Johnny Law attempts to do a backflip. He lands on his head once again.

You stop dancing and stare at Johnny, feeling embarrassed for him.

"Wow, Johnny, those are some sick moves! I think you win this one, but instead of killing me and my friends, how 'bout we all just go back to my place and have some cake?"

You glance meaningfully at the crowd, willing them to play along with you.

"Yeah!" shouts the crowd. "Let's go have cake at Morven's house!"

Johnny Law gets to his feet, looking ashamed. He nods at you, and scrapes his foot along the ground.

You all go back to the seemingly abandoned house for tea and cake in front of the warm fireplace. Everyone is dry and happy, especially Fluffette, who is overjoyed to have more cake to eat.

The end.

You all stand around awkwardly as the credits roll. After a while, the news comes on, and you leave to watch that instead.

The moral of the story is: There are some things that even friendship can't overcome. You should have followed your first instinct and just killed all the werewolves.

This was a pretty close call, you think, heading back to the living room.

Note: I would just like to let everyone know that I could write for the rest of my life and never come up with something as brilliant and hilarious as this...

harry potter/farscape crossover idea

okay so firstly, i’m NEVER going to develop this further. i’ve just got no muse. but here we are, with what little bit i did throw into notepad at one point.

--------------------------

Harry had stopped believing in coincidence centuries ago.

It didn't help that he was yanked for a while back and forth through realities - though admittedly that was partly his own fault because he didn't quite anticipate the level of power his magic had risen to after the Battle of Hogwarts and the defeat of Voldemort. When he wished to be anywhere else than dealing with the press and the fans and the fame and oh Merlin damn it Ginny we're not even dating and you and your mother are picking out goddamned wedding china!

But he digresses.

His reality hopping had finally ceased and his magic had FINALLY settled down. It looked like this reality would be his permanent one provided he didn't fuck it all up again. Which he tried - he really tried because holy fucking hell some of this shit he had to deal with was absolutely insane! He'd seen Voldemort the Snake-Face but that did NOT prepare him for meeting the literal psychic bipedal lizards called the Scarans. And he'd rather not meet them again if he could help it.

To survive in this crazy universe he'd had to adapt and unfortunately that meant kill or be killed.

Harry had come to terms with the blood on his hands a long time ago.

Unfortunately it was right before he was picked up by the Peacekeepers - the military arm of a race called the Sebbacians. And that's how he ended up in prison for assassinating some asshole dictator in the middle of nowhere who, unfortunately had Peacekeeper connections roughly eight cycles - years - after the fact. He'd settled down on some other backwater planet that reminded him a lot of Earth. Well, one of the Earths he'd been to at any rate. So what if the people were slightly orange and melted shit when they screamed. He just got better at making up scream-proofing charms on the fly is all. They were called Interons or something of the sort. Didn't matter much to Harry. He'd found a place to settle down and live a quiet life for the first time in three hundred years.

And now he was being transferred from his comfortable cell on some planet to a prison ship. Oh joy of joys.

Another eighty years later....

Harry sat with his muzzle on like a good little prisoner when they came into his cell for the routine torture and supposed interrogations. How did he still look like a child after eighty years? How old was he really? Where did he come from? Who else has he murdered? Who all hired him? The usual really.

They left him alone mostly unless they transferred other prisoners off the ship and he was all that was left.

They'd killed him a few times, but they didn't realize it. He'd healed and awoken too quickly for them to notice.... But someone did. He was sure of it. He just couldn't quite figure out who...

At least until he'd been on the ship for another fifty years. That's when he felt her for the first time poking at the edges of his awareness. She called herself Moya. She was the ship. The Leviathan is what the Peacekeeper guards called her.

Harry looked up from his liquid meal, the straw still stuck in the hole of his muzzle that allowed him to drink and "eat" when he heard the guards outside his door. Curious, he silently asked Moya what was happening as a blue woman was taken past his cell. A new prisoner. A Delvian, Moya had said. Harry was just grateful the new prisoner wasn't another goddamn Hynerian. Horrible little bastards reminded him of horrifying mix of Mundungus Fletcher and Draco Malfoy. Not something he liked to imagine. But at least she should be much more pleasant company than Rygel.

He found he liked the Delvian. Her chanting was very soothing. Moya and her Pilot seemed to like it very much as well.

Harry was woken by the roars of a tentacle faced beast of a man? He thought it was a man at least... when they brought the Luxan on board. With the muzzle on though, he could hardly say anything to anyone other than Moya and Pilot. And that was only because whatever it was they did, it was similar enough to legillimency that he basically said fuck it, why not. Otherwise, he'd have gone crazy long before then.

And then... one day, he woke to sirens and the ship jarring about and oh dear heavens that's laser fire isn't it?

"Don't just sit there! Come on!" Oh it was that horrible muppet thing again. Harry just stared at him in annoyance before the blue woman ran past and it dawned on him... Oh, it's a prison break.

It didn't take long for Harry to subdue a couple of guards. With some of Moya's lovely little robots leading him around he was able to avoid most confrontations and make his way to a safe storage chamber and hunker down until the fighting was over. He quite liked the chamber, and made his opinion known to Moya and her Pilot.

Eventually when things have settled down and they've starburst away Harry is led by some DRDs to where the other escaped prisoners are. They were't really pleased to see a young man wearing a muzzle and holding a pulse rifle judging by the multiple weapons pointed at him.

"who the hell are you?!" "He was here before anyone else." "ship's manifest doesn't even have him listed." "That muzzle can't be comfortable. Here, allow me..." "Are you mad! You take that off him and he'll kill us all!"

The muzzle is taken off and the first thing Harry says for a couple of centuries is, "You, the blue one. Oh I have so much enjoyed your chanting. It helped soothe Moya and her pilot for a time. I don't... I don't quite know what had them so agitated for a while but it certainly did help them. And myself as well. I look forward to hearing more of that lovely chanting. Now can I get a decent cuppa tea? Perhaps a food packet? I'll take anything solid. I've been living on liquid nutrients for around a hundred and fifty years and I can tell you it's not a pleasant way to eat."

"You're speaking English. That's English! My translator microbes things not translating you! That is the god damn Queen's English!"

"Of course I'm speaking bloody English! I'm from bloody England you fucking yank!"

"you said fuck! Not.... You have no idea how good it is to see another human!"

"I can assume you're from Earth, Mr..."

"Crichton. John Crichton. Astronaut."

"Harry Potter. Wiz-"

"The Master of Death!" - The Hynerian.

"Well I was going to say Wizard but I suppose that works just as well."

"Peacekeeper legends claim you can kill a man with just two words. Is that true?"

"Yes. With the proper motivation at least. But I.... I turned from my calling a long time ago. I'm not exactly a man of peace or pacifism, but I just wanted to settle down and have a quiet life after all my travels and adventures."

"Wait a minute..... A wizard. Named Harry Potter. You've got to be kidding me! Next you'll be telling me you ride around chasing a little flying ball on a broomstick."

"you know about Quidditch? Tell me, Mr. Crichton, are there any wizards or witches on Earth still? What year even is this by your calendar?"

"Dear god he honestly thinks he's a wizard..."

"what did I say?"

Then a few days later, after Harry's saved Crichton's life, the man finds him sitting and staring out a porthole, floating a cup in front of him with just a wiggle of his fingers with a fond smile on his face. "There's these... books. Kids books, back on Earth. My friend’s kid was obsessed with 'em. Got on the pre-order list at the bookstore near the base so he could get the third book the day it comes out for her birthday." "Why are you telling me this, Mr. Crichton?" "The first book is called Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. The second one that came out last year was called Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." And at this, Harry closes his eyes and sighs. "And what was the third book to be called? Did you know?" "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Did you really kill a giant fucking snake with just a hat, a bird, and a sword?" "If I told you yes?" "What kind of world do you come from where twelve year olds are expected to know how to fight a giant fucking snake?" "It was over sixty feet long. Built like a brick shithouse. And for some reason facing off against that with a magic bird, magic hat, and a magic sword was... according to my senile headmaster, a good way to build character."

This starts a sort of ritual between the two not-the-same-earth-earthlings. Crichton knows all about the first two books because his friend's kid is fucking obsessed with them and so Harry gives him a first person "this is how shit went down" and "this is honestly what i was thinking at the time" and "yes, with my bare hands, i murdered a man at eleven and nobody thought to send me to a fucking therapist. It was all "here's some bloody candy, Harry. Don't ask questions. Also here's house points in return for killing a man at the tender age of 11." That should have been our first clue that Albus too many fucking names Dumbledore was crazier than goddamn Voldemort ever thought of being."

And when Crichton is captured and tortured with the aurora chair, Harry's there for him in equal measure as Zhaan. And he never asks him about it, but he's just like "Bro. I got your back. You ever need to scream at someone about it, you come to me. We can compare scary pale faced black wearing nightmare men any time." And when Harry finds out that his new best bro has a clone of Scorpius in his head, he starts teaching him occlumency techniques because he's like "even without magic, this shit is damn helpful. Oh, and if you ever find yourself kind-of possessed by the bastard - hey, don't look at me like that John I don't make the rules. This shit just happens when you've got someone else living in your head. Trust me. Remember what I told you about that fucking scar of mine? Right. So listen. You ever get possessed, you want me to, uh, off you? I mean, I don't want to. But I will if I have to. Sometimes if you die for a bit, it helps reset shit." "I'm not immortal harry! I can't just reset my brain like some fucking wizard!" "There! That anger! Hang onto that. Trust me. It'll help if you ever get possessed."

And of fucking course when he's possessed by Scorpius Harry's like "I know that's you, you fucking asshole. Let go of my best bro or I will fucking gut you like a fish." "no you won't. You kill me, your kill John." "that's right and i already had this conversation with him. I'm sure you were there for it, too. You've got 24 arns or the real you is going to get a rather nasty visitor after I forcibly rip that chip out of Johnny's head and fry your ass so nobody gets to have the wormhole tech in there. You understand me, lizard breath?"

Ey? So Gentle is basically Luffy, only he can do stuff with air too.

“Tokoyami, it’s in lesson 3.”

Eizouken 10

LOL, you can see a name similar to “Rachel Enyoung Choi” in one of the credit lists. Update: Euyoung Choi is credited on one of the other folders.

“Kanamoney” is catching on, I see.

“Well, dough.” - Sarasoju, where soju is some alcoholic Korean beverage.

The back of the clock reminds me of that Skipper and Skeeto game I used to play.

Did Kanamori get a fringe cut…?

You can see the symbol for Eizouken on the (imaginary…?) warehouse.

Uchitama 9

The video got encoded funny again…

I‘ve heard of AIBOs before. They’re robotic dogs, although with newfangled drones, Google Nests and stuff, they went out of fashion years ago.

Aibou (with kanji) means “partner”, come to think of it...

While everyone else is talking in the foreground, I’m staring at Beh in the background…

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve seen Kuro and Nora interact all that much.

Natsuki Hanae as Leo, huh?

Uchitama 10

Second-last episode!

Neko (cat) -> Koma -> ari (ant)…isu (chair) -> suika (watermelon) -> tamago (egg, or sometimes it sounds like tabako/tabacco to me) -> ??? -> koi (carp) -> ???? “Kooten” seems to be a nonsense word.

The video got encoded funny again…

…and that’s twice now…

LOL, this is based on Millionaire.

…thrice…

The original quote is (something like), “It is said that heaven does not create one man above or below another man.” (Yukichi Fukuzawa)

The answer was C, obviously.

…4 times.

Bull does his best Thinker impression.

Oh my gosh, they’re bringing that joke back…? (LOL) Update: The portal joke.

“chunk of meat” – Uh…what?

Holy s***! It’s Bull’s dad! Bull time travelled!

Magia Record 8

I like how the anime introduced Gomakashi, then had the proper OP.

Chuo Ward (Chuoku)? In Hypnosis Mic, that’s a sign Ayappe is definitely a girl…but this ain’t HypMic, so no worries!

The greeting is “Kamihama” because it sounds kind of like konbanwa and the host is Mr Hammer because that sounds like the back half of Kamihama, I guess.

Magia Record seems more overt about its lesbian undertones, I see.

I noticed a piano on a poster in the back. Wonder what that means…?

Just reading translations of radio transcripts like this makes me think of the HypMic radio show. I’ve been using that (and all of HypMic, to be honest) to cope in these tough (COVID-19) times, which is why I’m mentioning it a lot.

Mami!

Eizouken 11

So this is how they met, huh? I never knew Kanamori could have such little faith in people, considering how she is now.

ID:INVADED 12

What I don’t get is Hayaseura’s motive…

Uraido…”from behind”? I need kanji to figure this one out…

Whose well is this Bliss background, ayway…?

Momoki and Matsuoka pass a sign saying 大井南 (Minamioi), which is in Shinagawa.

Why does Momoki need drugs…? To subdue Asukai…?

Oh no. Inami is going to have a vendetta after her man was killed!

According to Ramuda, the optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole…I think’s that’s important for that moment.

…Welp, when a hole in the brain doesn’t kill you, a shot to the stomach does.

In this time of COVID-19, I think talking about people coming back to life is inappropriate…

Post-credits segment!

Uchitama 11 (FINAL)

According to Ramuda, the optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole…

“Tullip” (sic).

Oh, so instead of “Tama” it said “tanu___”, so the kids assumed it said “tanuki”.

Ooh, cat meeting. This should match the dog meeting from earlir in the season. Plus Nora’s face on the title card.

The video got encoded funny again…

“I’m busy right now.” – Nora, sleeping – Yup, that’s my mood. In fact, I was woken up by a call this morning…

I still think the Momo x Bull ship is stupid…

Nora can talk to crows…?

BnHA 85

…huh? What’s up with Bibimi?

Oh, in La Brava’s room there’s a graduation album. No one translated that.

Seriously, Deku’s gotten kinda creepy these days…

Tobita = essentially “to fly” + “field”. Makes sense when the Quirk is elasticity.

“It’s dangerous to go alone!” – I want to reply with “Take this!”…LOL.

This bouncing around thing was basically done by Sonic in OPM.

Update: Turns out the kanji for elasticity is read dansei, which is th same rading for the characters for a man (but with characters meaning “male gender” instead and the last kanji being shared betwe the two). That’s why Danjuro is Gentle Criminal.

BnHA 85

I noticed some of the decorations around the school look like heroes we’ve seen – there’s a Midnight one and a Thirteen balloon.

Why is the crowd chanting for YaoMomo…?

It’s in English, huh?

End of credits segment! Keep watching!

“Guys like you who say there are no do-overs in life…”

Hawks! This is the first time I see him outside spoilers!

ID:INVADED 13 (FINAL)

Was gonna finish this the day I got it, but I got access (limited to 1 week)…to Akira, which is a movie I’ve never seen before.

The sharks are a nice touch…(LOL…?)

Welp, John Walker has his hat back now.

Uraido…Hayaseura. Of course, how the heck did I not make the connection?!

The video got encoded funny again…

…wow, after learning a thing or two about CPR, this part actually makes sense to me now…Amazing. (Also, I learnt about comminuted fractures from Double Decker.)

COVID-19 is entering these notes too…because if you cut yourself off from society, you won’t know about pandemics…

Why do I get the feeling Kiki’s gonna kill herself…?

She…almost did it. (Wow, I should try predict things more often.)

That pool…is basically the one from Minority Report!

Wow, that just did an Eva…

Why did they choose such a lively ending song…? Anyways, that wrapped up really well (no pun intended!). See you next time!

Magia Record 9

The tower appars to be modelled more after Tsutenkaku rather than Tokyo Tower.

For some reason, the subbers like to capitalise “Magical Girl”.

One of the speech bubbles in the back says koneko no gorogoro, or “the cat’s laziness”.

“Stand alone!” This is probably some kind of wordplay on the Solitude (Hitoribocchi no Saihate), since “alone” is hitori de.

Interestingly, the word for “delete” here is keshite (literal meaning: “to erase”).

The sign that passes Sana by while she’s on the boat says “Futaba” on it.

The blue letterboxing is an interesting effect.

“Sorpredente” = surprising.

Eizouken 12 (FINAL)

“They have their own business to run.”

I’ll miss this OP song when it’s gone…*sigh*

LOL, the contrast between Asakusa’s imagination and reality is huge and that’s what makes Eizouken so fun.

“I’m here to deliver the promised data,” Kanamori says (which I think is a more literal translation, ut works better).

It’s unfortunate Comiket 98 was cancelled…

Hey, why didn’t Anime vs. Real Life cover Eizouken?! That would’ve been so good!

I noticed one of the viewers had a “No Disc” pop-up of some sort. Also, the moving logo exists now, too (LOL).

I like how 1 of the UFOs hits the windshield.

The arrows really bring your attention to what’s the same in the split screens.

Magia Record 10

The Mifuyu in the previous episodes was either a flashback or a fantasy, right?

Mami is wearing a Wings of Magius badge…!

On the titlecard, there’s what seems to be a radio tower with a small lightning bolt above it.

BnHA 86

Hey, Tsu has a sister..?

Ah,so this is Mirko! I’ve heard of her too!

Is it just me, or does Endeavour hav CGI on him…?

Hawks reminds me of Fubuki from OPM…

Wow, even Endeavour’s trying to be funny…the world really is different now. (This humour has a terrible success rate with me, though.)

There seem to be holes in Hawks’ jackt for his wings.

So basically, Hawks is being the Iori to Endeavour’s Riku (but without too much of the homoerotic overtones that come from being close in age, since Endeavour is 46 – 7 and Hawks is 22), so to speak.

Oh! That punch is based on All Might’s! Same framing and everything!

Hajimari no doesn’t suggest a pronoun, so they must have chosen that based on the manga or the production company or something.

Magia Record 11

Shaft headtilt!

This Witch…apparently it appears early on in the OG series according to This Week in Anime. It does give off that vibe.

…wow, that fight was fast.

The video got encoded funny again…

Why are all the magical girls Naruto running???

Hachibey = Kyubey (where kyu = 9), but for 8.

ACCA OVA

Who’s this-oh, never mind.

I don’t remember the OST being so…cool.

Jumo, where ju = tree I guss.

Nino! Who’s the blonde though? I forget…

Jumo for Jumoku…right. I forgot.

Shinro, literally “path of advancement”. I’ve grown a lot since I last watched ACCA, but I only feel I’ve gotten dumber since then…to be honest.

I like how the flashback is saturated in blue…actually, that reminds me of Given, now that I think of it.

Where’s Grossular? I liked him the best because he’s basically older!Kyosuke Kuga. Update: Spoke too soon.

Now that I’ve learnt keigo between the OG and now, I can understand more of what Mauve says.

Magia Record 12

(no notes, sorry!)

Magia Record 13 (FINAL)

Is it just me, or can I see a feather-like object floating down the screen…? (Or is that static?)

You can see one of the hooded Wings (on Touka’s left) has dark blue hair – roughly Sayaka’s shade.

Ooh, Mami and Sayaka fight! (I’ve never been one for catfights, but this is certainly a match-up I want to see!)

Mami’s fate really sucks, huh? Her head came off in the OG and now she’s a tool for the Magius…

Yachiyo does look a lot like Togo from Yuki Yuna, doesn’t she…?

Anyways, this is all for now. There’s an s2 on the horizon, but COVID-19 means it could be years down the line…see you when s2 arrives.

Why Does Clemencia Love Demencia? (One-shot)

Summary: Clemencia ends getting asked the age old question and what better way to answer that question than in song!

Characters: Slug, Hatbot, Clemencia, Demencia, Flug (briefly), DCS (Demencia Cult Society), and White Hat

Words: 1,571

Warnings: A bit of gore and violence.

Slug scrolled through the many questions that people asked with extreme boredom and mumbled them aloud, while Hatbot was blowing bubbles and Clemencia was playing with her Demencia doll and decapitated Flug doll, “Can I marry White Hat? No. How much training does it take to be as good as you all? You will never be as good, give up. Can we see your face? Ha! No. ...Huh?”

He raised an eyebrow at a folder that wasn’t marked and asked Hatbot, “Hey, what is this?”

Hatbot looked at the computer screen and gasped, “OOOOH! It’s all the questions that I marked as spam and unnecessary! They were primarily Clemencia’s que-”

“AAAAH! WHAT!?” Clemencia squealed as she hopped into Slug’s lap, making the scientist grunt in pain, and cheered, “OH! OH! Let’s do them! Please please please please-”

Slug interrupted, “Alright, fine! Get off of me, please!”

Clem giggled as she teleported out of his lap and watched as he clicked on the spam, watching the images of the copious questions flicker endlessly on the screen, all of them asking, “Why does Clemencia love Demencia?”

Clem blinked at them and the suddenly started vibrating with excitement, as she squealed and her eyes turned into hearts. Slug then jumped up and grabbed Hatbot, making him hide behind one of the chairs along with him. Hatbot asked, “Daddy, what’s happening?”

Slug whispered to him, “Let’s just pray that it’ll be over soon.”

Clemencia’s horn then glowed brightly, changing the whole entire scenery surrounding her and even making the others disappear. An electrifying, seductive, and terrifying tune filled the air as Clemencia teleported into a pastel pink and fluffy room filled with Demencia posters, drawings, secret pictures taken of her, stolen items, and in the middle a giant statue of the lizard hybrid in her apocalyptic gear. Everything, including the statue, was covered in glitter, rainbows, and hearts that read “Clem x Dem”, “She’s mine”, “Love u”, or “My Goddess”. Clemencia teleported in front of the statue and then began to answer the question...in song, “Her absolute vile and disgusting being,” she teleported to the statue’s shoulder and kissed its cheek, “it fills me with the most wondrous feeling~”

She continued as she crawled into her hair, letting it fall crazily out of its ponytail, and crawl-danced in front of a poster of Dem in her apocalyptic gear, stepping on a person and cackling, “Her discordant and unkempt appearance,” she then fainted onto a spear and got impaled, still having giant, lovestruck smile on her face with rainbow blood dripping from her mouth, “It brings a whole new meaning to my existence!”

Down below the many people impaled on spears, Demencia was inaudibly laughing crazily as Clem was singing over it, “Her chaotic cackle and bombastic behavior,” Demencia then turned to an upside down, tied up Flug and began punching him, “How can you not have her as your savior?”

Next was just Demencia smiling wickedly before pulling many knives, daggers, scalpels, and toothbrush shivs out from her hair, while Clem sang, “Her crazy smile and carnivorous greed,” Clemencia appeared, leaning back against the now still picture, with her hand on her heart and she hummed, as hearts appeared around her head, “Only raises my lustful need~”

She then pushed back on the image too hard and that caused both her and it to fall backward, awkwardly, while robed figures that were dressed in what looked like Dem’s jacket and they even had a long green ponytail sticking out from their hoods. The Demencia cult members chanted along with the music, as all of Clemencia’s stalking and pursuing of Dem appeared behind them, “That girl is psychotic, her love for Demencia is barbaric. If you captured her, it’d be in vain, her maddening love would drive even Black Hat insane.”

A pastel blue and pastel pink heart appeared and the words “Clem x Dem” got sliced into the middle, causing a glittery rainbow to bleed out from the gashes. Clem trilled, “Her wrath and savageness I cannot fear; she’s just an untamed lizard~” She then leaned backwards in front of the heart, almost bending herself completely in half, clasping her hands together, still singing the note. The she spun around and got herself wrapped up in her blue ponytail, finishing off with a giggle, “with fluffy hair!”

An image flashed with her practicing kisses on her Demencia poster in her room and then another showed her watching the lizard woman beating a hero’s teeth out with a delirious and loving smile on her face. All the while drawings of hearts, lizards, and unicorns, along with the words: “Mine”, “My love”, and “Perfection” came in. It all dissipated to show Clemencia riding happily on a giant, blue and white, robotic spider.

As the giant spider with WH Inc’s logo on its abdomen stomped throughout the villainous suburbs, Clemencia lied down on her stomach on its head, while kicking her legs in the air, hands propping her head up, and rocking her head back-and forth to the chaotic beat of the music and the blood-curdling screams below her as lower lifeforms got impaled on the robot’s legs. She sang with hearts in her eyes as she stared down Black Hat’s manor, “She’s a part of mean and nasty corporation,” she took a remote out of her hair and pressed a button, sending rockets out of the spider’s fangs and blowing up the manor, “I’ll be the one to end her destruction!”

Next she ended up beside Demencia in her Predator armor, sans helmet, while she was tearing open a hero and squishing their guts into a bloodied mush. Clem twirled towards her and swooned, while wrapping her arms around the back of Dem’s neck and turning around to slide down the lizard hybrid erotically, “Her armor’s bloodied with hero’s spleens.”

Clemencia climbed up the suddenly growing Demencia, as the lizard woman placed her helmet on as she towered over Hatsville. A red lazer beam came out from Demencia’s helmet and sliced through several buildings, causing many cataclysmic and uproarious cries. Clem just climbed up to the giant lizard’s shoulder and maniacally sang, watching the destruction with amorous glee, “She’s always leaving the night filled with screams!”

The image burned away along with the city and Slug appeared, leaning back in his chair and was casually singing-speaking, “Will you finish this song?”

Clemencia shook her tush at him, mocking, “Make me, you bore!”

She then reached into her ponytail and pulled out dozens of cute daggers, twirling around and sending them of towards Slug in different angles, while declaring, “Nothing can stop my love for her~”

Slug shrunk in his chair and covered himself with his arms, as the daggers went flying past him and over him, creating a heart shape into the wall right behind him. Hatbot wheeled up to Clem and begged, “Miss. Clemencia, calm down!”

She then snapped around to face Hatbot, making the little bot jump in fear as he wheeled in reverse to White Hat, who was reading the newspaper, and hop onto his lap. Clemencia climbed onto the recliner White was sitting in to be over both of them as she sang with a deranged smile, while her eyes changed into pinpricks and her horn glowed dark pink, making Hatbot tremble and White raise an eyebrow, “And something I know is something that I will share!”

She magically conjured an ensemble of the Demencia Cult Society to stand on wooded, curved choral risers, while a few others were summoned to play instruments in more shredded like robes, with graffiti, stickers, and tattoos all over them, and they all chanted lowly, in tune with the music, “Crazy in love…”

An anime-like image of Demencia and Clemencia appeared, possibly drawn by a woman that Clem threatened, and it was of Clem being dipped down in a seductive manner, while one of her arms wrapped around Dem’s neck and she held a sickle up to the lizard’s trachea. Demencia’s arm was wrapped onto the small of Clem’s back and the other hand was both caressing and squeezing Clem’s neck. The unicorn witch crooned, “Because in the end…”

She finished off on a high note as her powers went berserk and started changing the entire lab into a twisted half unicorn, that was pastel blue and pink, and half lizard skull, that was green and red, stage, along with gogo dancers in cages, interpretive dancers, aerial silk acrobatics, and the rest of the cult walking up ramps with torches in hand, all of the dressed somewhat like both her and Dem. She belted out while the dark pink aura surrounded her and lifted her in air, “The most real and right is Demencia~”

The cult vocalized along with her going into a crescendo, as the ones with torches went up to the cauldron and lit it on fire, making the orangish flames somehow turn pink, blue, and glittery and spell out “Clem x Dem”. Clemencia then suddenly stopped singing, flipped her fluffy ponytail over shoulder, and blinked her eyes cutely, while sparkles and stars appeared in her pupils. She cooed, “And me!”

Then her aura quickly turned blue and everything disappeared, causing her to fall from the stage, land harshly on the table, and start twitching. Slug and Hatbot were instantly put back in their chairs. White ordered them, “Let’s get back to the questions, s̪̜̣͍̗̦ͅh̗̯̘a͖͎͝l̳̪̬l͍̟̙̞͎ ͓̦̠ẉ̶̘e̵̥̰̺̩̣?̩͠”

Slug and Hatbot jumped and then saluted, “Yes, sir!”

Charmed - Season One Review

"A toast to the Power of Three, whether we like it or not."

It's strange looking back on the series Charmed used to be. There's such a stark difference between the fun, family-centric early episodes, and the trashy, offensive later ones. Despite the questionable dialogue, woeful guest stars, and plotting blunders that became signature for the series post Season Four, Charmed was often home to some sharply written family drama, enthralling mythology, and an incredibly likable core cast. This all fell apart long before the doors of Halliwell manor closed for the final time in 2006, but nearly two decades later I still find myself attached to these three imperfect, yet strong women who are thrown headfirst into this wacky world of witches, demons and bad leather get-ups. Spoilers ahead!

In Season One, Charmed faces the same growing pains that a lot of similar high concept dramas do when they start out, struggling to get the mix of fantastical ingredients just right. Though series opener 'Something Wicca This Way Comes' is a solid and compelling hour, episodes like 'Thank You For Not Morphing', and series low 'The Wedding From Hell', serve as lessons learned for the writing team, with the latter episode in particular feeling like some sort of unintentional parody of the series Charmed was trying to be. Think 'I Robot, You Jane' from Buffy's debut season; the general concept of the series is solid, but elements chosen for a particular episode just don't work the same way they did on paper. Even the first antagonists the girls face seem to be ripped right out of some trashy straight-to-video horror film, and the likes of recurring villains Rex and Hannah feel like more of a wasted opportunity rather than a taste of what the larger big bads in this universe have got in store for the Halliwells.

In the face of some questionable choices elsewhere, the series is forced into relying on the strength of the three leads, something that's immediately evident from the outset. The Halliwells are all well-crafted, relatable characters, with the appeal of each sister buoyed by the charisma and talent of the three lead performers. Prue may be a little stiff initially, but Shannen Doherty's star power comes off in spades even in the drabbest of scenes; Alyssa is the perfect choice for the fun-loving/work-hating youngest sibling, filling Phoebe with endless charm and wide-eyed optimism; and Holly is similarly likable, though Piper's signature surliness doesn't get to come out and play until her first "centric" episode, 'The Wendigo'.

The supporting characters aren't nearly as appealing, though lack of choice feels like a huge factor where that's concerned. Prue's ex, Andy, who just so happens to be a SFPD Detective, serves as a solid love interest for Prue, and temporary foil for the sisters, though at times his presence feels clumsily written in. He's killed in the crossfire of a Halliwell/Demon battle at the close of the season, something that, while sad for Prue, is somewhat of a relief given how repetitive his role in the show was getting. Andy's partner, Darryl Morris, feels like he's there (and I hate to say this) to tick a box in terms of cast diversity, because as a character in his own right he's fairly vacuous. Andy's death gives him the chance to step into a more prominent role in Season Two, but he has very little to do this year. Leo is only a recurring character here, though it's quite obvious that he will be sticking around following his reveal as the sisters' whitelighter – a sort of guardian angel for witches. He's got charm, for sure, though he fails to really stand out as much as you would expect given how heavily featured he ends up becoming later on in the series.

The show is admittedly clunky in a lot of the early episodes, but by the time the season reaches the halfway mark it starts to hit its stride. 'That '70s Episode' is the pinnacle of Charmed's debut season, pairing the rich history of the Halliwell family with the dynamic relationship between the three leads, as the girls travel back in time and meet their late mother and younger selves. 'Deja Vu All Over Again' also plays with the time-travelling element, resulting in the first sucker punch of the series; Andy's death. It's a twist that ups the stakes and leads to some wonderful character work in the following season. 'Out of Sight', another highlight, is the perfect blend of the real world threats the girls face (an overly nosy reporter) and the more sinister otherworldly ones (the Grimlocks). The antagonists greatly improve in the second half as well, culminating in a surprising but wonderful guest spot from David Carradine as time master Tempus in the season finale.

The confidence of the latter episodes leads into a stronger sophomore season, but the first year always felt like the purest representation of the show's original mantra: "three sisters who happen to be witches, not three witches who happen to be sisters". This is especially true of how wonderfully the sibling drama is played from the beginning. With a complicated history already in place thanks to Prue's distrust of Phoebe and her supposed role in Prue's breakup with her "chardonnay-slugging" fiance Roger, there's a well of drama ready to be bled dry the second Phoebe walks into the manor in the first episode. Piper's role as the middle sister holds remarkably true, as she spends a lot of her time playing referee between Prue and Phoebe, with the youngest sibling's proclivity for a more carefree lifestyle driving the older, more sensible sister crazy. Almost every episode is deeply rooted in the sisters' relationship, with their bond growing tighter the stronger their magic gets. It's a great concept that is, at least in these early episodes, executed beautifully.

Potions and Notions

The casting of the Halliwell women remains impeccable. Finola Hughes and Jennifer Rhodes were so great as the girls' mother Patty, and their Grams, Penny; it's no wonder they came back in many different instances throughout the show's eight years.

I always get a kick out of Rebecca Balding's appearance as Aunt Jackie in 'The Fourth Sister', knowing about her role as Elise later on in the series. Hurray for double casting!

Speaking of casting blunders; I wasn't a huge fan of the original version of Victor Halliwell (later re-named Bennett). Thankfully this incarnation is retconned further down the line.

Spells and Chants

Piper: "Don't tell me you spent the night in a conical hat flying around the neighbourhood on a broomstick."

Piper: "Don't put me in the middle." Prue: "I'm not, you were born in the middle."

Phoebe: "We're the Charmed Ones, Prue, not the Doomed Ones."

Prue: "Some of us have a job." Phoebe: "Some of us have fun." Piper: "And some of us are having a really bad hair day."

Grams: "What was the name of my husband?" Prue: "Which husband?"

Prue: "We do good things together, helps offset the bad things."

Best Episode: That '70s Episode.

Honorable Mentions: Something Wicca This Way Comes, The Wendigo, Is There a Woogy in the House?, Out of Sight, Deja Vu All Over Again.

Worst Episode: The Wedding From Hell.

With strong characterization at its heart, Charmed's debut season is a wonderful, if slightly uneven start to the Halliwells’ journey.

7 out of 10 Power of Three spells.

Harry Potter/Farscape crossover idea?

still going through my ideas/wips folders. this is in the “wtf meds” folder which means 2 things. 1 - i was fucked up on my meds when i came up with/wrote it. 2 - because of this i don’t know where the fuck the idea was going.

also, i might have already posted this somewhere so if it seems familiar, there’s your reason.

so enjoy.

-----------

Harry had stopped believing in coincidence centuries ago.

But he digresses.

To survive in this crazy universe he'd had to adapt and unfortunately that meant kill or be killed.

Harry had come to terms with the blood on his hands a long time ago.

And now he was being transferred from his comfortable cell on some planet to a prison ship. Oh joy of joys.

Another eighty years later....

They left him alone mostly unless they transferred other prisoners off the ship and he was all that was left.

They'd killed him a few times, but they didn't realize it. He'd healed and awoken too quickly for them to notice.... But someone did. He was sure of it. He just couldn't quite figure out who...

Harry looked up from his liquid meal, the straw still stuck in the hole of his muzzle that allowed him to drink and "eat" when he heard the guards outside his door. Curious, he silently aske Moya what was happening as a blue woman was taken past his cell. A new prisoner. A Delvian, Moya had said. Harry was just grateful the new prisoner wasn't another goddamn Hynerian. Horrible little bastards reminded him of horrifying mix of Mundungus Fletcher and Draco Malfoy. Not something he liked to imagine. But at least she should be much more pleasant company than Rygel.

He found he liked the Delvian. Her chanting was very soothing. Moya and her Pilot seemed to like it very much as well.

Harry was woken by the roars of a tenticle faced beast of a man? He thought it was a man at least... when they brought the Luxan on board. With the muzzle on though, he could hardly say anything to anyone other than Moya and Pilot. And that was only because whatever it was they did, it was similar enough to legillimency that he basically said fuck it, why not. Otherwise, he'd have gone crazy long before then.

And then... one day, he woke to sirens and the ship jarring about and oh dear heavens that's laser fire isn't it?

"Don't just sit there! Come on!" Oh it was that horrible muppet thing again. Harry just stared at him in annoyance before the blue woman ran past and it dawned on him... Oh, it's a prison break.

"You're speaking English. That's English! My translator microbes things not translating you! That is the god damn Queen's English!"

"Of course I'm speaking bloody English! I'm from bloody England you fucking yank!"

"you said fuck! Not.... You have no idea how good it is to see another human!"

"I can assume you're from Earth, Mr..."

"Crihton. John Crihton. Astronaut."

"Harry Potter. Wiz-"

"The Master of Death!" - The Hynerian.

"Well I was going to say Wizard but I suppose that works just as well."

"Peacekeeper legends claim you can kill a man with just two words. Is that true?"

"Wait a minute..... A wizard. Named Harry Potter. You've got to be kidding me! Next you'll be telling me you ride around chasing a little flying ball on a broomstick."

"you know about Quidditch? Tell me, Mr. Critchton, are there any wizards or witches on Earth still? What year even is this by your calendar?"

"Dear god he honestly thinks he's a wizard..."

"what did I say?"

Then a few days later, after Harry's saved Criton's life, the man finds him sitting and staring out a porthole, floating a cup in front of him with just a wiggle of his fingers with a fond smile on his face. "There's these... books. Kids books, back on Earth. My friends kid was obsessed with 'em. Got on the pre-order list at the bookstore near the base so he could get the third book the day it comes out for her birthday." "Why are you telling me this, Mr. Critchon?" "The first book is called Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. The second one that came out last year was called Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." And at this, Harry closes his eyes and sighs. "And what was the third book to be called? Did you know?" "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Did you really kill a giant fucking snake with just a hat, a bird, and a sword?" "If I told you yes?" "What kind of world do you come from where twelve year olds are expected to know how to fight a giant fucking snake?" "It was over sixty feet long. Built like a brick shithouse. And for some reason facing off against that with a magic bird, magic hat, and a magic sword was... according to my senile headmaster, a good way to build character."

This starts a sort of ritual between the two not-the-same-earth-lings. Critchon knows all about the first two books because his friend's kid is fucking obsessed with them and so Harry gives him a first person "this is how shit went down" and "this is honestly what i was thinking at the time" and "yes, with my bare hands, i murdered a man at eleven and nobody thought to send me to a fucking therapist. It was all "here's some bloody candy, Harry. Don't ask questions. Also here's house points in return for killing a man at the tender age of 11." That should have been our first clue that Albus too many fucking names Dumbledore was crazier than goddamn Voldemort ever thought of being."

And when Critchon is captured and tortured with the aurora chair, Harry's there for him in equal measure as Zhaan. And he never asks him about it, but he's just like "Bro. I got your back. You ever need to scream at someone about it, you come to me. We can compare scary pale faced black wearning nightmare men any time." And when Harry finds out that his new best bro has a clone of Scorpius in his head, he starts teaching him occlumency techniques because he's like "even without magic, this shit is damn helpful. Oh, and if you ever find yourself kind-of posessed by the bastard - hey, don't look at me like that John I don't make the rules. This shit just happens when you've got someone else living in your head. Trust me. Remember what I told you about that fucking scar of mine? Right. So listen. You ever get posessed, you want me to, uh, off you? I mean, I don't want to. But I will if I have to. Sometimes if you die for a bit, it helps reset shit." "I'm not immortal harry! I can't just reset my brain like some fucking wizard!" "There! That anger! Hang onto that. Trust me. It'll help if you ever get posessed."

And of fucking course when he's posessed by Scorpius Harry's like "I know that's you, you fucking asshole. Let go of my best bro or I will fucking gut you like a fish." "no you won't. You kill me, your kill John." "that's right and i already had this conversation with him. I'm sure you were there for it, too. You've got 24 arns or the real you is going to get a rather nasty visitor after I forcibly rip that chip out of Johnny's head and fry your ass so nobody gets to have the wormhole tech in there. You understand me, lizard breath?"
