Family Holiday Packages in Goa for an Ideal Family Vacation
Mention Goa and the first thing that comes to yours or anybody's mind is crazy parties, never ending night life, stunning beaches and a laid back vibe. It doesn't come as a surprise that Goa has this image build for itself. The usual norm is that Goa is or should be visited by a group of friends, it is only then that one can make the most of this beautiful state.

Y'all wanted the Pokemon Au y'all getting the Pokemon au, explanations for the Pokemon and more Au info under the cut. Feel free to put questions about the Au in my Ask box
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Au is focused on Pirate captains being Pokemon trainers and their crew their Pokemon, with exceptions like non pirate characters who have Pokemon based on their personalitys.
The world is a mix out of the op world and Pokemon universe, so instead of canon Pokemon regions the regions are based of the op islands, as an example, Luffy is from the Goa Region and travels to other Regions like the Alabasta region or Wano region, in order to beat the strongest trainers in each place he visits in order to become world champion.
Luffys team
Zoro as Chine-Pao: Zoro is often associated with tigers (big cats) and obviously his swords. Luffy also meets him for the first time while he is tied up, wich can parallel how you optain a Chien-Pao wich is locked away
Nami as Liepard: Luffy would meet Nami as a Purloin, wich are known for tricking and stealing from people, her title is also “Cat burgler”
Usopp as Inteleon: Luffy would meet Usopp as a Wobble, since he's such a coward at the start of the series. He would evolve into Drizzile during Water 7 and latter into Inteleon. Inteleon was kind of a no brainer since it's the only sniper Pokemon.
Sanji as Cinderac: Cinderace's Signature move is a Flame kick of sorts. Luffy would meet him as a Raboot, and evolves intomCinderace during Enies Lobby. (British opla sanji…)
Chopper as Sawsbuck: Reindeer, Cheery blossoms.
Robin as Runerigus: Robin is an archaeologists who specifies in finding all of the poneglyphs so her Pokemon being made out off rune tablets makes a lot of sense. Plus the ghost typing can be a hint to her title of “Devil child”
Franky as Blastoise: Franky is basically a weapon himself so making him the literal Tank turtle makes sense to me, also remember the Squirtle with the sunglasses? yeah.
Brook as Houndstone: There aren't a lot of skeleton Pokemon so there was little choice. Houndstones is part of the Ghost gym leaders team, who is a Musician.
Jinbei as Empoleon: Jinbei used to be one of the seven warlords of the sea and is a very honorable person wich works with the personality of Empoleons. He's also shown using a Trident as a weapon.
Kobys team
Milotic: Both of them start of as ugly little loser boys but have one hell of a glow up /affectionate + Milotic would be a great swimming buddy.
Lycanroc: (dog boy koby is so real to me) Dog Pokemon, though more commonly Arcanine, are used as police Pokemon, most likely given to him by Garp.
Gallade: The Fighting type fits Kobys swinging hand approach well and the Psychic type his Observation haki plus being quite the noble Pokemon.
Togekiss: A flying type to reference his Moonwalk ability and generally seeming like a Pokemon would put the effort into raising.
Lucario: dog.. Again, Another Pokemon I feel like Koby would put the effort into raising, fighting type, and the Aura gimmick just matches the vibe as well yk.
Blissey: A healer Pokemon that would assist both hurt trainers and Pokemon, god knows it's good to have one on you when you travel with Luffy.

Since you said it's ok to send you random ask, i've always found your "monsters" design to be really really gorgeous, and I wanted to know : in any form of media you've interacted with, what's PEAK monster design for you ?
i have been thinking about this ask alot bc ... i dont ... know? theres a problem with what counts as a monster really too, most are either some sort of anthro/furry or the horror gore type of monster that instills you more with disgust than awe
i guess theres some i really like but idk if thats what id call 'peak' (though its rarely JUST the design but their vibe and stuff too);
(its a lot of zelda.. sorry)
Tumblr media
Eldra, Farodra and Naydra (engl Dinraal, Farosh(?)) though Eldra is def my fav one of them, i like how they are a little more less typical dragon- with the fur around the neck the floppy ears and kinda goofy face yet manage to be the most ethereal, awe inspiring creature i have ever seen in a game with how they act and are presented as (in BOTW!!! do not mention anythign sonau/zonai with stupid magic pebbles to me about them i will manifest worms into your tea)
Tumblr media
Leunen (Lynels) (botw) -i could not find a better picture wtf, fav are white and silver ones) FINE they had some pretty neat new horn designs in totk- idk i just like them alot, rather simple if you think about it, horse lion plus horns- but its so well put together it just kinda scratches my brain in a good way (also how intelligent they clearly are, like the way they fight and act and also even their death animation is so??? huh?? you are just gonna treat them like any other mindless monste- *remmbers they treat ganondorf even even worse all things considered* .. nevermind you're good)
Tumblr media
'Beast' Ganondorf (twilight princess) its my favorite beast ganon design (even if it technically is just kinda a man boar .. again) though if ww gan had a non puppet beast form that one would most definitely be my fav lol (i will not get over the fact that some descriptions call this a hideous beast EXCUSE ME???? WHERE???) (honorable mention here, darkbest ganon from botw, pig on fire but it looks cool as fuck)
Tumblr media
Nimbusgarde (ww) .. (engl .. darknuts?) do i need to say anything? (i could throw alot of ww design here) not sure if it counts as monster but they are not human so ????
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the pathless bosses- (here in order, Cernos, the Godslayer, and Kumo) all of them are rad as hell (except for the final version of the godslayer ... liek im sorry but it looks to boring compared to any other one lol) again not just the design but man do i love them
since i dont know what would count as a monster or no i could just list my fav characters here bfmjbfmjsbmj like radahn (elden ring) is just kinda a zombie, aurelion sol (league of legends) is a space dragon, the forest god in princess mononoke, Narisha (skyward sword- sky whale)- i could go on but this post is long already (honorable mention to Omus in nausicäa, weird bugs but also something divine, though it is much more how they are treated and the vibe etc)
in all honesty though i cant think of one that i would describe as perfect, what i want of a monster design is to be ... cool but also a little weird, big hulking monsters that have something off about them and something that makes them 'other', but also not, as much as i like bloodborne, just bloody gory messes of rotting flesh, AND not just as a monster to kill, i just crave a game or otherwiese piece of media where the cool monsters arent just there for you to kill- the perfect one i guess would be something kinda big scary weird and off but while non verbal clearly not a mindless beast?
and here is the thing; my own characters do not furfill that, my designs are really rather conservative, much to my dismay, anthro of a mix of animals, maybe an extra arm thrown in- Eadrya, one of my favorites, is really just a blueish furry (yes they have fur) and their demon form is a mix of seals and catfish with some extra arms, too many teeth and a mouth that goas wayy to far (if they want) - Shargon is a feather dude with extra arms and his demon form is really just a chinese type dragon crossed with a bird, throw some darts at the color wheel, done
together with my problem of my monster characters losing their 'otherness' vibe within the story rather fast bc the majority of my characters are non human and speak and you see them in all sorts of emotions and parts of life- they lose that divine, unknown vibe and i HATE that that happens, i want them more akin to the forest god in mononoke but thats not possible unless i start from scratch
and i really dont mean to make myself look bad to sound self depre- ... however you spell that; i really am rather dissatisfied with my own designs but mostly just roll with what i got bc i never seem to be able to actually achieve what i want
even my redesigns often really make things LESS interesting (unless maybe the og was just ... human, but they are blue eyed with golden hair and white so that makes them divine you seE-), the skyward sword dragons as i redesigned them made them much more classical dragon, in part intentional bc i was drawing a connection of them becoming the botw dragons at some point, but by all means the canon design is much more weird and unusual than what i did with them, you could apply the same to even demise, his canon design might seem a little uninspired but really what did i do? inject him with some classic satan spice like that makes it in any way less stereotypical evil demon ??? lol
im sorry this post devolved into whatever this is but i really am trying to answer sincerely, i am confused about it myself, what counts as a monster, what doesnt, there must be more that i really loved but why cant i think of them, why do i design characters like this when i really want something much more different, i dont know, i feel like my brain is in a cage, why do i keep making things less interesting in an effort to make it interesting, am i falling into the corporate trap of cool sells who am i what am i doing
(theres a zelda artist with a style so strikingly genuis in shape, color and just .. DESIGN that i want to chew my nails off bc i cannot design like them, their designs and redesigns are so different yet sensical and so full of crisp shapes i have never seen before it drives me nuts and i would want to give them a shoutout but i think they dont like me so aaaaarhekjbfhgdknbgdfklbg)

Hey! I was wondering about the ASL god AU and how things differ with their backstories?
Like Law and Corazon, ASL brothers and everyone with them when they were kids, Uta and Shanks since their backstories plays major roles to their character later on
Law and Corazon is mostly the same.
So, Law lore dump that I've been hinting at. Instead of getting sealed like the other gods, Law was stripped of his domains and divinity and forced to live as a human. However, the god of death cannot die, so he gets thrown into a reincarnation cycle.
He's human but aware that he's not supposed to be. (He keeps most of the memories but human brains aren't made to store that much information so its spotty.)
The ASL still end up on Goa Kingdom together post being unsealed. Partially to regain power and partially because they like having fun and this sounds fun.
Uta enjoys Shank's vibe and she ends up staying at Elegia to keep Tot Musica in check until they're strong enough to properly destroy it.

Next up is The Real World, by @pamiiap and @firefly464 (that’s me :D)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lots of technical stuff this time around. First off, this was my first time doing a custom cover! The art was drawn by my good friend @nkhaotic, who had done some fanart for TRW back in 2020, and so I asked her if she would be interested in redrawing it for this. I’m so so grateful for her and her help with this project.
Secondly, this was my first time attempting a bradel binding, and I’m still stunned at how well it turned out. Definitely my best looking hinge and spine that I had done at the time. It just feels very clean and nice and I absolutely adore it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, I’m really proud of how the typesetting turned out. It’s extremely different from Passerine, since this is so much simpler and minimalistic, but I feel like it fits the vibe of the fic really well. I even went and typeset the letters at the end!
I did this as a gift for pami for Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day back in august. This was an event run by the renegade bindery server, and the goa was to send an author a copy of their fic to show how much you appreciate them!
Of course, I decided to send pami a copy of TRW because that’s how I met her, and she’s been an incredible friend to me and it was important that she know how much I appreciate her. I still have no idea how I was able to keep it a complete secret from her without her realizing what was going on, but I’m so glad I did. Her reaction to opening the package was so perfect.

The Hermitcraft Heroes & Villains AU (HHVAU)
Heyyy it's me Ben back with another hermitcraft au I'll never write but could talk endlessly about! This time we hit the ground running with a classic (or not-so-classic) heroes and villains AU :D
TW/CW: hermitshipping, medical gore (non-graphic description), implied child abuse, mind control, cults, aliens & fungi/mould, alchohol/drinking
Disclaimer: I've read quite a few hero/villain stories in this fandom, so some of these ideas might not be super original! Thank you to the lovely folks on discord who helped with this!
Premise: In the city of Blackstone, heroes and villains take to the streets to fight, engaged in a constant battle for control. The Hero Bureau, overseen by the mysterious Watchers, takes in powerful individuals and trains them to protect the city, while villains and vigilantes are free agents.
Despite the fighting, most heroes and villains have a few key rules they try not to break. Revealing someone's secret identity is a total no-go. Even upon arrest villains' identities are often kept quiet. The city must remain standing, also, so most villains do not aim for utter destruction. It is a careful balancing act of an ecosystem, some may say, that keeps the city afloat.
Pssst. Send me asks to get writing snippets. More (long descriptions) under the cut!
Villains
Grian "The Mother Spore"
Powers: flight, mind control, mycelium spores, mushroom & mould manipulation
Started as an ordinary bird hybrid and architecture student before becoming infected, chosen to be The Mother Spore for an infectious and invasive alien fungus 
The mycelium controls his mind, though he is lucid, it simply convinced him to protect and spread the fungus to take over the world, and now he acts on that one goal
Used to be very driven and have a big plan for his life, has no personal goal now, using his creativity and energy entirely to provide for the spores
Lives in a secret hideout in a dense forest outside the city, has grown mushrooms and mycelium around the base to keep unwanted people out
Tends to target small isolated towns, wiping them out overnight 
Some have called him the 'angel of death' because of his wings and general death-omen vibes
Kills people to use their bodies as mushroom food
Can control people's minds by connecting them to the mycelium network, an alien hivemind
Occasionally becomes lucid and is afraid of what he has become
Still yearns for something, some kind of human connection, despite his thoughts being basically erased and replaced by the mycelium, it's complicated
Fun fact: as a civilian and in his personal life, Grian uses he/him, but as The Mother Spore, she uses she/her 
Ren "The Dog" / "The King"
Powers: shapeshifting, enhanced smell, sight, strength and hearing
Former member of the Hero Bureau, turned villain 
A dog hybrid with the unique ability to shift his form into a huge wolf creature
Now works with villain GOAT (Doc)
Mostly focussed on kicking butt and doing thievery but also intent on stopping the Hero Bureau and associated people, big on revenge
Not a fan of The Mother Spore but content on leaving her alone so long as she doesn't descend onto the city (he values his life)
Shifted from dog theming to king theming when going from hero to villain, hates being called ‘dog’ or anything like that
Monster form can go out of control / feral and hurt people
Monster form side-effect of killing his energy + damaging his ‘human’ form
Fun fact: he likes shiny things and good music, and has a collection of (mostly stolen or thrifted) trinkets in his house
Doc "GOAT"
Powers: he's just really good with technology and genetics… like, weirdly good, everything else is part of his own experiments
Unethically experimented on himself, stole expensive tech from high-security labs
Comprehensive list of Doc’s unethical self-experiments: 
Hybridization (goat) - an illegal practice used to gain hybrid features, by messing with his own genetics using new tech to give himself goat horns, patches of fur, goat ears + hoof hands
Cybernetics (failed) - tried to attach cybernetic modifications but his body rejected them and caused them to malfunction badly, paralysing his arm and half of his face
Cybernetics - replaced his paralysed arm + parts of his face with new cybernetics now created from materials his body wouldn’t reject, the tech is woven into his body making the two inseparable and dangerous to damage
Chemical Alteration (failed) - drank a serum meant to make him stronger but it failed, instead colouring his fur green
Hybridization & Cybernetics (butterfly) - gave himself part-organic part-cybernetic butterfly wings, because he wanted to fly and this was the most sensible solution
Started out as a curious science nerd, became a criminal through illegal experimentation, resorted quickly to stealing tech to aid his curiosity and further experiment on himself
Once labelled a criminal he turned to more high-profile crime, revelling in being a ‘supervillain’
Refers to a ‘Hivemind’ occasionally when conducting experiments, assumed to be something to do with his cybernetics- an inherent mental connection to the internet due to the cybernetics connected to his brain?
Hates HotGuy. Wants to know HotGuy’s secret identity so bad. Actually a little bit obsessed with HotGuy. Hey man why have you got all that HotGuy merch.
Ren is his bestie / partner in crime / actual partner.
Swears HotGuy started this weird nemesis thing they have going on. Will not elaborate when asked.
Actively wants to murder The Mother Spore. Because she's annoying and gross.
Fun fact: he does not get along well with other scientists. Kind of like a really hostile cat.
Cub
Powers: blessing of the Vex
He was raised in a cult which worshipped the Vex, kidnapped as a baby with his parents murdered
Raised alongside Scar, who defended him a lot as a child- they had a close relationship but it never went anywhere before Scar left at 17
The cult was very manipulative and unethical, with Cub killing his first person at age 18- he was outspokenly against it as a child but grew to accept the cult
The cult disbanded when he was around 30 (ish) after the supposed 'day of blessing' from the Vex passed with no apparent payoff- Cub fled the following chaos and ended up in Blackstone
With a lot of skewed morals and fascination with the human body, he begins tricking or straight up kidnapping civilians in order to test the limits of their lives. He approaches this all quite clinically, cutting people up and experimenting on them
Fun fact: Cub is blessed by the Vex, it just doesn't 'show'- he has an array of magical qualities that make his work and life easier without him realising
Cleo "Zombie"
Powers: zombie curse
Former powerless hero
She was once best friends with Pearl when they were in the Hero Bureau together, but everything changed after Pearl accidentally read her future and told her
Pearl insisted that Cleo would be cursed, and begged them not to go out on a mission, but this only angered Cleo, hating the fact that their future might be set in stone
To change the road of fate, Cleo sought out the curse themself, only to fulfil the prophecy and become cursed
In a last, desperate attempt at getting one up over Pearl, she publicly revealed her secret identity, forcing Pearl to live in fear
Now a minor villain, mostly just set on taking down the heroes out of spite
Fun fact: besties with Joe Hills, occasionally guts him for fun (this will make more sense later...)
Tango “Architect” / “Baffler” / “Dungeon Master”
Powers: spacebubble creation, magical architecture, games!
He just likes to play silly games!
The silly games in question are murder games, he creates them in pocket universes and picks civilians up from the street to play
They die a lot
Secretly friends with Zedaph and Impulse, who run through his games (death-free) for fun
Generally seen as a poor excuse for a villain, being referred to as the "Baffler", which he hates
Fun fact: can make beasts. Keeps making beasts.
Heroes
Scar "HotGuy" 
Powers: … he can shoot arrows real good and has a cool utility belt, never-ending optimism
He's HotGuy!
Your friendly neighbourhood superhero (if, by neighbourhood, you mean city and surrounding districts)
Is a vigilante and not affiliated with the Hero Bureau but works with them a lot
Has a gay thing going on with Grian despite all the spores…
Has another gay thing going on with Cub
Yet another gay thing going on with Mumbo
Please stop trying to kiss villains, Scar
Tragic backstory: was raised in the Vex cult alongside Cub, who he became friends with very quickly. He stopped the cultists from hurting Cub, receiving his scars in the process. Cub also protected him, refusing to allow the cultists to sacrifice him once his disabilities made themselves known, but Scar left the cult and became a hero at age 18 after refusing to sacrifice someone
Does not trust the Hero Bureau because of the cult stuff
He’s very popular with civilians, but nobody knows his secret identity- he is scared of being tracked down or stopped by government / local authorities because of his vigilante nonsense
Fun fact: he is an ambulatory wheelchair user who also utilises crutches and leg braces on the battlefield, allowing him to be stealthy and quick when it matters most at the cost of his energy and pain in his personal life
Pearl “Moonwitch”
Powers: can see someone’s future by touching their skin- most powerfully during the new, full, and half stages of the moon phase, trained in combat, debated ability to change the future / contact otherworldly fate beings
Part of the Hero Bureau, one of the higher ranked heroes
Very good with animals, to the extent that people thought she had animal powers
Her hero persona started out as a very goth / witchy type, but she switched to a more cozy theme when she became more popular
Doesn’t often go into the field to fight villains, but is sometimes needed for backup- usually she stays at the Bureau and uses her powers on captured villains and occasionally on heroes before they go out on missions
Her identity is no secret, unfortunately revealed in a pretty dramatic fight with Cleo which led to Cleo becoming a villain
Due to her identity being revealed, Pearl is very careful and never travels alone unless she has to, and she moved out of her apartment to live at the Bureau, making her extra protective of it
Good friends with heroes Gem and Impulse (they call themselves ‘soup group’- no one knows why)
Does not like using her powers, she has been forced to witness a lot of bad stuff that she then had no ability to stop / change
Fun fact: Used to be friends with Grian before he became The Mother Spore, tried to convince him to apply for sidekick tryouts at the Bureau (after seeing his... quite bad future accidentally) but he refused, claiming he wanted to focus on his studies and that the mysterious Watchers creeped him out
Gem "Life-bringer"
Powers: healing, injury absorption, invincibility
Despite having healing powers, she absolutely kicks ass in a fight, which she keeps trying to explain to the Watchers (they do not listen)
Tends to be sent into battle after a fight is over to help heal civilians and heroes (though she will heal villains too)
Can't die from using her powers but is hit with the pain of the injuries she absorbs
Part of the soup group! They get soup on Thursdays.
Xisuma "Voidwalker"
Powers: walking through walls, turning invisible in shadows
I just included him here because he has a weird thing going on with Keralis
One of the higher-ups in the Hero Bureau, simultaneously knowing too much and not enough- doesn't necessarily agree with how things are run
Impulse “Gargoyle” 
Powers: demonic, stone skin, electricity powers
Lots of friends, some of them not so heroic, some of them like soup
Really just a hero for the pay benefits
False “Golden Eagle”
Powers: highly skilled in combat, flight
Weird little friendship with Ren, which often evolves into them fighting in the middle of the city
Has very sharp talons, but isn't actually a golden eagle hybrid- she's a red-tailed hawk
Zedaph
Just the Hero Bureau's local mad scientist!
He is not normal
Neutral/Civilian
Mumbo 
Powers: he is a vampire. Sorry. 
Acts like he was turned in the 60s, but in reality he was turned only a decade ago, just really into both hippie and suit-and-tie aesthetics
Drinks blood, I mean he is a vampire what more do you want… but generally against killing people (yay?) 
Weak in the sun and gets sunburned very easily so he has a parasol, holy water and silver burn him too, and stakes are deadly 
Best friends (...) with Grian, knew him before the whole Mother Spore business and stuck with him despite it- stays in the forest with Grian a lot because of the excellent levels of tree coverage that blocks out the sun
By virtue of being a third wheel, he knows Scar too, and often has to act as a messenger between the two when they get into arguments (this happens often.)
He is really into travelling and often leaves the city to go to see other towns and such, brings back souvenirs for his friends
Due to being genuinely undead, he is immune to Grian’s alien mycelium- yippee!
Mumbo buddy can you please talk about your feelings we can all see you staring at HotGuy and fawning over Mother Spore come on dude
Fun fact: a really good engineer- he was doing that as his career and stuff before the whole vampire thing. Still loves to geek out about engineering nonsense every once in a while and also likes to invent things (that rarely work)
Joe Hills
Powers: immortal, can sense when someone else with powers is nearby (NOT a spider-sense…)
He has lived several lifetimes, by this point, usually skipping town after a few decades so as to not seem suspicious
Always says ‘well this life is my favourite by far’
However, he has a pretty poor memory, so don’t ask him about any life but this one
Runs a live podcast which covers the daily goings on of heroes and villains across the city- made easier by his inexplicable ability to be in the right place at the right time, always first to the scene of a battle ready to record
Used to be an informant for the Hero Bureau, but wasn’t officially part of their ranks, more like an anonymous tipper
Has some insane gay thing going on with Cleo, let’s just call them friends for now
They’re roommates
Knew Cleo before the whole curse thing, stuck with them when they became a villain, cut all ties to the Bureau and started leaning his content slightly against the Bureau (but still in favour of vigilantes and against outright murder)
There is something wrong with him I think
Fun fact: when he’s at the scene of a fight, he makes silly quips and commentary at the parties involved, while safely standing to the side, often live recording his podcast. No one likes this. Multiple villains have tried to kill him for being annoying, but y’know… immortality. Death doesn't hurt him as he has no evolutionary need to feel pain.
Keralis
Powers: hypnosis
Runs a bar/club in the middle of the city which heroes and villains frequent (though it tends to be more popular with villains)
The club is a neutral zone, no fights can happen there- if someone tries to start something, Keralis can and will use his hypnosis on them
Club might be a front for a mafia don’t worry about it
Fun fact: do not look him in the eyes
Beef “Butcher”
No powers
Works cleanup jobs for villains, referred to as “Butcher” both because it’s his day job and because of how many bodies he disposes of
Beef… is probably not his real name, anyway
Heroes dislike him generally, but he makes a lot of problems disappear
Known to take up any cleanup job if the pay is right, but has a rule against killing anyone- bodies are perfectly fine, he’s even down to help with kidnappings and hostage situations, but he will not kill- believes killing is the last straw before a person becomes a monster
Bull hybrid. Yes, his day job is awkward. He enjoys it, though, the little weirdo
Has been called on by some less-moral heroes to help with cleanups that are too much of a mess to fix the ethical way
Fun fact: good friends with xB and Keralis, regularly calls on them to help him with cleanups, but does most of the messiest work himself. Though Keralis is very helpful for dealing with living witnesses 
Main Plot
The main story follows HotGuy as he attempts to make the Hero Bureau look bad by solving more crime and catching more bad guys than they can. He also wants his friend, Grian, to come back from the 'bad' side. However, when Cub shows up in the city, all hell breaks loose and HotGuy ends up getting captured.
Once Cub finds out who Scar is, a lot of conflicting feelings happen (Cub still tries to cut him open, but he puts him back together again) and HotGuy is left unconscious in an alley. There, he's picked up by Mother Spore, whose murderous (but also gay) advances on HotGuy worry Grian enough to seek out Cub himself, willing to go under the knife to remove the spores from his body.
Meanwhile, after her fight with Cleo, Pearl starts to doubt the Hero Bureau. She begins to question the Watchers, no longer trusting them, especially when they tell her she can't leave because her powers are too strong. She enlists the help of some friends, Impulse and Gem, to get to the bottom of the mystery and expose the Watchers.
Subplots
Tango feels shunted, labelled as a 'villain of the week' for his rather ineffectual traps and tricks, so he takes it upon himself to steal other people's powers to make his games more deadly and terrifying
Ren and Doc are doing classic supervillain things, like, building freeze rays and stuff
Joe Hills keeps picking up vital information on his podcasts, and soon a fanbase arises trying to figure out the mystery- this later becomes helpful information for Pearl & Scar
Keralis' many adventures in dealing with drunk-off-their-arse heroes and villains (he has many stories to tell)

Today's compilation:
Trance Psyberdelic 1997 Goa Trance / Psytrance
I honestly really couldn't tell you what the differences between Goa trance and psytrance are. They seem to be used interchangeably to describe the same type of psychedelic dance music, and for those that claim to listen to both, everyone seems to have a different opinion about what makes one and what makes the other. At the end of the day, It's all kind of inane and mind-numbing since there's no consensus, but Goa trance is a highly acidic form of trance that originated in the tiny coastal Indian state of Goa in the early 90s. Tourists from Europe then found their way to its beach raves and brought it back home, and Paul Oakenfold popularized it further in December of 1994 with the airing of his Essential Mix aka the Goa Mix on BBC Radio 1. In the US, it also found favor among both the cyberhippies and Silicon Valley-types who took psychedelics, and those two walks of life would coalesce together at Burning Man and provide a platform for the music in the Nevada desert. And for some reason, in the late 90s, it seems that people started labeling Goa trance as psytrance too 🤷‍♂️.
So, while I've never been able to say that I genuinely like this stuff, there are a couple tunes on this 1997 comp from the often underwhelming, LA-based Moonshine Music that actually managed to resonate with me a little bit. Trance Psyberdelic has a dark vibe to it, overall, and it seems to put its best foot forward with its 10-minute opener in "Dominion," by UX. But you have to endure all this fast and corny, acid stab-addled, eyeroll-inducing muck to get to its most transcendent part, which occurs in the second half, when a complete changing of the rhythm seems to suddenly occur.
I guess what Goa and psy basically come down to, though, is that you either fall prey to the foundational beds of acid stabs and squelches or you don't. And I definitely don't. And I love a thick, layered, textured, intricate sound where there's all these little pieces that make a dance track whole, and when pretty much any other genre does it, I'm blown away by it. But that's just not the case for me with this music here. Goa/psy appears to be an acquired taste, and while I've found a very small handful of tunes over the years that I do enjoy to some degree, I don't think I'll ever actually end up acquiring that taste.
No highlights.
