would itachi meet toris old clan? how would that go?

no, i can't see that happening. she doesn't consider herself one of them, and they effectively kicked her out as a very small child, meaning THEY don't consider her one of them either. plus by the time itachi is in the picture, they're mostly. uh. dead?

#part of why they effectively kicked her out was that they'd decided to march everyone off to otogakure #so they HAD the option of handing a kid they didn't even really care about over to other sound country ninja #if she'd been a part of the clan through age 12 itachi might have an extremely belated #'wait i am about to get in laws. do we have to draw up an inter-clan contract. i don't want a rando clan calling on the uchiha'#'please tell me you don't have any clan techniques we might get accused of stealing'#so under those circumstances he might want to meet them in a purely political capacity #just to be like 'she's OURS NOW i am putting an uchiwa on her back AS WE SPEAK this is NOT an alliance you MAY NOT CONTACT HER'#....although in an even MORE divergent scenario where tori WASN'T treated like crap #yeah he'd probably want to meet them. itachi: that's how interclan marriages work???#reborn au

Given all the alternatives and original-divergent takes presented throughout Trigun's different versions, sometimes trying to wrap my mind around its complicated timeline gets my thoughts tied into a tangled knot of confusion. But I also appreciate the freedom it gives to reshape the order of pivotal events and stick to the telling which you find to your personal liking -- since they all are equally canon. However, there's one instance where I prefer to stray from each version, and that is the circumstances under which Knives crosses paths with William Conrad again.

As Trimax has it, Knives goes on his search for Conrad after he and Vash fall apart in that village where Knives cuts his brother's arm off. But for such a climactic episode in both of the twins' stories, it's always seemed to me a bit underwhelming. And why would Knives team up with a human after cutting ties even with Vash, anyways? So I found myself gravitating towards how this scene is written in Tristamp as it raises the stakes significantly, with Vash opening his gate for the first time and Knives hurting him in an attempt to stop the chaos it causes from spreading. One other difference from Trimax this scene presents is that at this point in the Tristamp's narrative Knives has already met and joined forces with Conrad.

I like to intertwine both versions in my mind, creating a single sequence of events, and that's how I personally see it. Vash and Knives separate under the circumstances described in Trimax. For decades after the Great Fall they only have each other, building no connections with humanity; not falling apart, but not growing any closer to each other, either. It ends with Vash straightforwardly sacrificing his well-being for the sake of the people he doesn't even know -- the choice that gets him chained to a metal pole as a hostage. Knives without any hesitation massacres the whole village and forces a gun into Vash's hands so that he can defend himself. But instead of much-expected gratitude he faces Vash's shock and disbelief and sees that very gun pointed at him. In the heat of it Vash accidentally opens the gate. Knives slices his left arm off. They separate. And only after that Knives proceeds to search for Conrad, seeking answers for what was that power he witnessed. He knows Conrad was among those at least partly involved in a research that Tesla was a subject for, and therefore Conrad might have some insight into independents' abilities. He might have something that Knives himself doesn't. Knowledge.

When the twins meet again years after that, Knives already displays full understanding of how his gate works, and he uses that knowledge to forcibly activate what power lies dormant in Vash, causing Lost July.

Of course, it's just a personal interpretation and I'm very well aware that in some ways it fails to align with what's canonically confirmed, but I guess it's just the reading that paints the most meaningful picture for me.

#trigun #trigun maximum #trimax #trigun stampede #tristamp #vash the stampede #millions knives #william conrad #also regarding that part about knives being driven to team up with conrad by his thirst for knowledge #i like to entertain the thought that knives has a mind of a scientist #because of how he forged an alliance with the sandworms and they shared their knowledge of the planet's history with him #something about the twins displaying two different ways of learning things about life #knives through facts and theory staying detached from the things he learns about #and vash through experiencing those things directly and coming into contact with them #and also rational cognition vs emotional cognition #back to my thoughts on knives and conrad #their relationship is so complicated and interesting #with conrad genuinely caring about knives and in some ways grieving that boy who cried tears of joy first time they met #and at the same time terrified by the atrocities knives commits in the present #keeping secrets from him about plants' powers evetually draining and what their hair turning black means #and knives in turn having a bizarre attachment? to conrad as he was the only other human being who accepted them except rem #and still staying cold to him because he hates humanity to the marrow of his bones #i love thinking about this

OTHER:

Although this is an Alliance-aligned character, she won’t outright attack those of the Horde; she is currently far more preoccupied with what’s happening on the Dragon Isles to be bothered.

I will not interact/roleplay with minors or anyone under the age of 18.

Though I am fine writing characters in more intimate situations if it is appropriate, do not try to force ERP or expect it in any way when writing with me. Should you do so, it will likely end in a block.

I will not write with godmodders (ex. never misses a hit and never gets hit, their character is so overpowered that they’re basically a god and can’t ever lose, etc).

You know that feeling when a short story you read in English Class gives you an idea for your own sci-fi story...

so obviously you have to write it...

so obviously you have to make a conlang for the aliens (I mean, how else are you gonna give them names?)...

so obviously you then have to make a font for their writing system and mess around with coding to get the software to do the conversion between pronunciation and romanization and your writing system correctly...

so obviously by this point you may as well translate what you've written of the sci-fi story thus far into the language...

so obviously you make a syntax tree for it...

... yeah. Same here.

#conlang #conlanging #linguistics #syntax trees #in case anyone's wondering #the sci-fi story this is for is about... uh... *squints*#aquatic alien space dragons making first contact with earthlings #and by earthlings i mostly mean corvids #and cetaceans #and parrots #and maybe some octopi #there are also some alien octopi too but they're psychic so they just use a telepathic version of the dragon language #there are very few humans involved in this story #mostly because this is set at a vague point in the distant future #and there aren't really a lot of us left #(something something nearly driving ourselves and numerous other species to extinction something something rebel bird alliance...)#conscript

Well after long enough here’s part two of Eridian Overrun (borderlands 3 spoilers ahead)

EO part one

This episode’s topic is

*drumrolls*

The fight for sanctuary plant gas (ft. Salvador and Krieg) + some developpement on Sally boy and Mr. Meatman

The plant gas

So I’ll try to summarize as much as I can, but basically, EO adds interesting features to the gas. Ya see, the antidote doesn’t rid you of the gas. It simply slows it down ALOT. Also, every time you go in the gas, a small quantity of it stays in your organism.

Now if you take those things and merge ‘em together, you get what I call « overexposure » Basically, if you accumulate too much gas, yet are still immune, you will enter a state of slow mutation. It is caused by the contact of this absorbed gas with pandoran spores. Overexposure can only stop by leaving the pandoran atmosphere, and therefore cutting contact with those spores.

There can be some other conditions that make you develop overexposure:

Big, but non lethal contact with the gas without having the antidote in a short span of time (ex.: Vaungh)

Going trough the early phases of infection before getting the antidote (ex.: Mordecai)

Being exposed to a big quantity of the gas with a underdose of antidote (ex.: Hector boss fight)

At first, the only symptoms are a greener taint to the blood, amplified gas boost and increased muscular strength. At this stade, the mutations can be completely reversed by cutting off contact with the spores quickly enough. Staying long enough out of pandora will rid you completely of the gas, and therefore, of overexposure. An example of this state are the vh2 by the end of FFS.

However, if some time has passed since the beginning of the mutations and you’re still on Pandora, then that’s where the real stuff begins. First of all, later stages mutations cannot be reversed, as they are too significant. However, it is still possible to stop the progress by leaving Pandora. Those mutations are: Apparition of plant spikes on the body (mostly the arms), green hands with claws, pointy teeth and first stage symptoms being further increased. Examples of this are Salvador, Krieg and Vaungh

Eventually, on extreme cases, you might grow plant limbs, but so far the only known example is the Hector boss fight

Salvador

After FFS, Salvador stayed for a bit on pandora (around a year or two) to just, yaknow, keep killing bad guys. After that, he took a little break from pandora, on Tannis’s doctor order. Later, he went back to Pandora. At some point, like a few months before the EO present (3y after bl3), Vaungh found him and invited him to the sun smashers. I know it’s not much clear, but the little drawing on the left top corner is his SS logo. Yeah they have logos like B team now. Also, SS is in an alliance with the raiders.

Krieg

So for context, PKATFF still happens (because Maya isn’t dead, it’s a bit different but it still happens.) and yk there’s still the god tier ending. Krieg stays a few months in the cave starting to fix himself. After that, with pretty good progress done, he starts thinking of other ways to help himself. Thinking about the raiders makes him realize that he can’t be alone anymore. He goes back on SANC.-3 to see his friends (and pretty lady 🫶) again. Sane Krieg’s goal isn’t rlly to get rid of psycho Krieg anymore, but to get a more shared control over the system. P Krieg still has the most control, but S Krieg can front sometimes now. He even got to see his face really recently. It’s was a pretty moving moment. Also, he kinda becomes a dad to Ava because Maya is like a mom to Ava (hehe fambly)

Oh and I know the arm in the drawing doesn’t look like Sally’s or Krieg’s and that’s because it isn’t.

« Then whose arm is it? » Good question.

#this is my fav part of the au along with PL scars #i just think it would be funny if like Vaungh Salvador and Vic hung out on pandora #three stupid bandits who blow up heads togheter #and yes SS - Raiders alliance = Salvador being in contact with them #look that man was criminally left in the dust by the fandom #bring back the angry short man y’all ☹️#also psyren canon #borderlands #krieg the psycho #salvador the gunzerker #borderlands au #borderlands rewrite au #au: eo #my post #au: Eridian Overrun

Hey tell me about your Insane Mass Effect Timeline!

Oh my god. Mary.

I know you are FULLY aware of how FUCKING INCONSISTENT AND ANNOYING the official Mass Effect timeline is. I had a night last spring where I was trying to plot out my fanfic from start to finish and was getting super irritated about it so I went through, year by year, from 2115 to 2188 and wrote up my own timeline down to the exact dates of everything I needed to know for something like 14 characters entire lives, of which I think 10 or 11 are all complete ocs; I needed to know exactly where they all were and what was happening around them all at any given time, so I went through year by year wove them into the given Bioware timeline and put everything into a legible order.

This fucking document. The timeline alone (because I did end up sticking a couple of one shots on the end because I was too lazy to switch at the time),

Is thirteen pages long.

I have a thirteen page long timeline where I could put everything in a more sensible order, stretch out some of more ludicrously condensed major historical events of the official timeline and wrote up an actually sensible working order for the first two games because frankly, the way Bioware wrote it there is no possible way Shepard could have been spotted on Omega in Mass Effect 2 in mid-February of 2185 after having been dead two years and ten+ days and still have had enough time for the events of Mass Effect to occur in 2183.

If rumors of Shepard being alive came from Omega on Feb. 15th, they'd been dead for at least two years and ten days (plus a couple of days to account for Freedom's Progress and travel), and the attack on the Normandy happened a month after the Battle of the Citadel, the official timeline puts the entirety of Eden Prime war in the span of, maximum, the first week of January 2183, which can't have been the case if they also listen 2183 as the year the Normandy was constructed.

So yeah I got mad at that and how young a bunch of the 'older' characters canon ages are listed as (Anderson is in his early 40's according to the official timeline which I do not agree with, Hackett I think is something like 53 in official timeline, I don't remember off the top of my head) when humans canonically have 150+ year lifespans now. Neither of them would even be middle aged in that case, ffs, yet we're supposed to believe they're grizzled older gen soldiers on the verge of retirement? Yeah, no. First Contact War experience notwithstanding, I aged almost everyone from the older generations up, as well as my Athena Shepard by a few years because she has a teenage kid in the first game and I needed to sort all of that out.

I love my insane thirteen-page timeline and I reference that thing like it's the fucking bible whenever I'm writing anything for my mass effect fics.

Yeah so that's my rant about the Mass Effect timeline and how my thirteen-page monstrosity came to be and I love it so much

#mass effect #mass effect fanfic #the discovery of the actual mass effect to the 'present day' is only like 40 years #and somehow humanity has the second largest fleet in that amount of time? out of the entire fucking galaxy?#like i'm not saying they can't have built the ships or that they wouldn't be powerful #but i'm not going to believe they built a fleet to rival the turians in such a short amount of time #plus the entirety of the Systems Alliance has only existed for some 34 years this shit is brand new #my timeline includes the creation of the combined militaries of the first 18 countries into the Alliance Military #and yeah og timeline has Anderson as the first N7 in the first contact war when he was 20 like damn dude #also i just checked and yeah hackett is supposed to be like 49 at the start of the games #absolutely not #i love these games but that timeline is my bitch now

I actually like the Dracthyr visage forms, but they probably could have pleased more people if they just made it so visage forms could be selected from the other playable races. Eh, maybe they'll expand someday.

Speaking of, I find it weird that part of the justification for learning to access your visage is to put others at ease. I mean, Horde has undead, tauren, and vulpera. Alliance has worgen. There are Pandaren in both. I don't see how dragon people would be any more out there. Maybe the fact that they can fly too would be intimidating to some people, but other than that it's just like, really???

#wow #world of warcraft #dracthyr #alliance #horde #dragonflight #evoker #I'm sure I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said #just felt like I needed to put it out there #plus- lots of them as a whole have had regular friendly contact with dragons #particularly the societies with druids

man the alliance generals in ag are just so fun and good natured

this guy's out here ready to celebrate for gm/the end of the war and he's celebrating with his whole gang

drinks and cheers and happy alliance soldiers!!!

#DCB Three Hopes Run #love their positive vibes in this route. the way they see the end of the war in sight #and are like hell yeah let's party and be friends. if this were houses it'd be vw too but like #since it's the opposite in gw and it's super tense and uncertain it makes ag the only good vibes route #and i love when they have positive things to say like this that aren't about hurting others #it feels so powerful coming from the alliance side too who didn't have much contact with gm/the church/etc #and the way he says ''reclaimed'' is the difference between ag and the other routes in hopes #bc in those ones they're the ones attacking. they're not reclaiming but instead claiming #in sb they claimed and then reclaimed ig? in a way? but it's still taking from someone else first #this guy is happy to have gm back to its rightful residents. like. good for him #good for him being happy to have a place's rightful residents back at home and being happy for the war to end

I wonder if we'll ever get to see Namor or anyone from Talokan visiting Wakanda and really experiencing it like Shuri was able to do with Talokan. It seems unlikely given what happened last time they were there 😭. But i think it'd be cool for Namor to experience Wakanda and empathize with the people there like Shuri was able to do with talokan.

#exchange program? lol #i feel like namor recognizes wakanda is strong bc they have vibranium and the black panther #but thats it lol #even with the alliance im not convinced they will be buddies like they will contact each other when they need to #but how fun would it be wakanda and talokan to get to know each other for real id like to see it #wakanda forever

“our fine leaders” look i love me a good dimitri and lorenz friendship and hearing him call dimitri a fine leader is a high honor from lorenz i am blessed by this

#Three Hopes #Three Hopes Spoilers #Lorenz #Dimitri #one of my big azure moon headcanons is that when the war ends dimitri appoints lorenz as being in charge of #all the old alliance lands bc dimitri can't be everywhere at once so he needs other people to take care of those places #he wants to help with change but he can only make a big difference more immediately in his own area #so the areas surrounding fhirdiad would get the best results fastest but nowhere else would see quick change #but if he has leaders in leicester and adrestia who know the place and people very well he can stay in contact with them #and make sure what he wants to do for the people and nobility will reach those areas just as quickly #so he has lorenz in charge of the former leicester territories and ferdinand in charge of the former adrestia territories #bc all three of them prioritize the wellbeing of the people over everything and i think he'd trust them the most to keep things in line #lorenz and ferdinand have very particular ideals for the nobility but they're more or less the same things dimitri feels #they all want the best for their people first and foremost and have solid goals to keep their people safe and happy #like for lorenz it's not a matter of just ''you're a commoner so we're above you''#it's that he thinks yeah they deserve respect for what they do since they do all the heavy lifting for governing #and that's the stuff that's supposed to help with laws that keeps everything civilized #but he also would stop at NOTHING to keep the people of his lands alive and healthy #to him it's his duty to ensure those things for his people and he believes it's a noble's purpose basically to provide for commoners #dimitri thinks of it in a less nobility versus commoners specific way but he wants the same things and i think #he would trust lorenz more than probably anyone else when it came to the safety of the common folk #like he would trust yuri with that but he also understands yuri can sometimes be involved in shady things #but lorenz doesn't have a shady bone in his body and any distrust he feels for anyone he's up front about #and when he's wrong abt something he'll admit it and apologize and not many of the nobility behave like that #im super sad that they didn't get supports in either game bc they would have an amazing friendship imo #and between the two of them would be able to really bring about a new era for fodlan that really made it a great place #not to say I think ferdinand would help less just that this post is more abt lorenz and dimi specifically #they're my golden leaders trio and im so heartbroken that ferdinand can't join dimi in this game bc they're all #such good leaders and rulers and i want them to be close friends who always contact each other for politics and change

one of my favorite ellie-verse canons is her and maeko matsuo being ex’s … it’s so juicy to me

#listen matsuo is such a non-important character but talking to her on noveria is FUN #i cant really decide when it is that they knew each other … matsuo says she was in the marines which i’ll assume was also the alliance #not sure how long she was on noveria for before we meet her .. i’m thinking they were a thing before akuze and broke it off when matsuo quit #something something difference of opinion on the alliance… matsuo was kind of the spark that ellie needed to start rethinking her job #that would give them 6 or 7 years of no contact after that … but then they meet again on noveria #ellie: what are the odds we meet again here of all places? small world huh #matsuo: i think you mean galaxy ..#god even though ellie is still technically on her mission she takes some time to reminisce with her … listen listen listen #matsuo: your asari friend seems to be looking over here quite often ..#liara: 👁️👁️#but like blue eyes #before they go off to peak 15 maeko is like ‘commander…’ you know trying to be professional #‘be careful on your mission ellie’ and she drops the formalities cos she means it #and like they know whatever happened between them is done but it’s still like :’) ya know #‘i will… watch yourself out here maeko…’ and then they don’t contact each other again until maybe after the war #HOOOOOOOO the ellie lore fucking gets me i see it all #sofi plays mele

Hey does anyone know how people got to the Sharlayan Colony back when it was active? It would make the most sense for it to be by ship via the strait between Vylbrand and the mainland, but is there like. a coastal land route that wouldn't take you right through Dravania?

#ffxiv #actually hoe hostile was Dravania to non-ishgardians really?#it doesn't seem like the alliance states ever had much contact with it but would this kind of passage have been possible?
