Everything Is Interstitial: Games inside of Games inside of Games

Interstitial is a game that takes characters and rips them from the cloth of where they come from and quilts them into one world. “Everything is Interstitial” is an extension of that: what if you could do that with mechanics and games?

I have teamed up with 5 designers to bring their games to Interstitial. When you turn the page from one to the other, you will stop being in Interstitial and start being in one of their games. They'll still be playbooks for Interstitial, but you will have the power to get into the gears and change the fabric of how you interact with the base system.

The best way I can put this is like in Dead Cells when you pick up the Hollow Knight needle and suddenly you can incorporate elements of Hollow Knight’s movement and gameplay into the game. I want that for Interstitial. (You can jump on people's heads and swing down, adding parrying and the weird bounce from the HK to a game that does not naturally have it!)

TAKUMA OKADA

Takuma is someone I have known in the TTRPG scene for what feels like ages, and their work has always been deeply impressive to me. They're a creator who has a way of stringing words together that could never come to me, and whenever they release something it feels like it changes the way I think.

You may know them from Stewpot, Alone Among The Stars, and Old Home!

CARO ASERCION

Caro Asercion is someone I could work with every day and not get tired of it. When I read a game by them, it feels like momentum instead of action–their games let you be the movement of the gears, instead of the thing that is forcing them to turn. It feels second nature, and it makes things happen like magic in front of you.

You may know them from i'm sorry, did you say street magic?, Exquisite Biome, and The Long Shift!

TYLER CRUMRINE

Tyler has an absolutely incredible eye for resolution mechanics, and more importantly has a writing that lets me know cleanly and clearly how those mechanics work work cleanly and clearly. I come out of reading those rules like I've always known how to play. The Possible World RPG series is something I carry around with me when I'm traveling, and whenever I show them to people they are amazed and impressed.

You may know them from Beak, Feather, & Bone, Hounds, and Grandpa's Farm!

BRANDON LEON-GAMBETTA

I remember one of my first times ever being on Discord, sitting in the One Shot community, and turning to my wife and going "Oh woah, there's someone in here who actually makes TTRPGs!". That game was Pasión de las Pasiones, and that person was Brandon! I have been following his work forever, and between the experimentation that comes from his podcast or the genre work he's doing in his games, it's always incredible.

You may know him from Pasión de las Pasione, Stop Hack & Roll, and RadCrawl!

BRIAR SOVEREIGN

There is a wealth of big robot games out there in the wild, and to make yours stand out is a feat of strength. Briar's knack for amazing design both in layout and mechanics has made their work resonate clear above everything else. They are an absolute joy to know, and to work with them will be a highlight of my life.

These designers are each going to take one of their games and port it into Interstitial as a playbook, layout and all. This'll give players new mechanics to play around with, and hopefully ways to break everything. All of these designers are incredible at what they do–-- and they're bringing what they do to Interstitial. As long as we can hit that goal!!

Snail Ch. 2: Four Peculiar Limbs and a Head That Doesn’t Fit

There is a very lost, confused little boy in the woods. Can he trust these strangers, who he doesn’t know but a part of him says he should?

Everything is weird. Too bright, too loud, too big.

There are people here, people he doesn’t know but has a strange nagging feeling that he should. But that can’t be right, he’s never seen them before in his life... has he?

They’re loud, though, and some of them are very big, and they’re all carrying weapons and he doesn’t know what’s happening or how he got here and suddenly they’re reaching for him and he bolts.

The trees provide cover to dart between and shadows to hide in and he runs and runs and runs until he can’t hear the strange-familiar-strangers anymore. Then he’s crawling under a clump of bushes with leaves so thick he can’t see through them because even if he lost them when he hit the trees it doesn’t mean they won’t be looking.

He trembles in his hiding place, heart beating rabbit-quick and doing his best to stifle frightened, confused tears. He didn’t see any dogs when they killed those monsters but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any, and dogs are very good at tracking him no matter how good he hides and oh why did he run in a straight line?

Suddenly there are footsteps in the woods. He claps a hand over his mouth and hopes against hope they go away.

They don’t.

Instead, the stranger settles against one of the trees and begins... humming? Why are they humming? Do they not know he’s here?

He waits, but they don’t do anything else but sit there and hum. The sound is nice, calming, and he can feel his heart begin to slow from it’s frantic pounding. Slowly, keeping an eye on the stranger to make sure they don’t make any sudden movements, he creeps out of the safety of the bushes. Any time the other so much as shifts he freezes, heart in his throat. Nothing happens, though, so he cautiously settles nearby to listen, far enough they won’t be able to grab him but ready to run if they try.

It’s not long before the last note is fading, and the strange man turns to look at him. He stares back, waiting to see what he’ll do.

The answer, apparently, is smile and speak softly. “Hey there, I’m Sky. You must’ve been pretty spooked earlier, huh? I’m sorry about that. Are you alright?”

He doesn’t answer, instead continuing to stare and trying to figure out if this is a trick or if the man, who is quickly becoming more familiar than strange, really means his words. After about a minute of silent staring, Sky heaves a deep breath and stands. He flinches, not expecting the movement; Sky doesn’t seem to notice and brushes himself off before holding out a hand.

“Do you want to come back with me? It can’t be very nice staying out here in the woods all by yourself.”

He’s not wrong; ever since Uncle- ever since Agahnim first sent the knights after him and made everyone hate him for something he didn’t even do, he’s been stuck sleeping alone in the woods more often than he does a bed. He’d learned quickly, though, and can usually get at least a few hours of rest hidden away in a hollow or small cave somewhere before inevitably being woken by one thing or another. Still, this man — Sky — hasn’t done anything to hurt him so far. Even if he was part of the group back there, on the road, with all the weapons and armor. Most of him wants to stay away, stay wary, make sure Sky won’t grab him or go for the sword he can see clearly on his back.

...But there’s a part of him, getting louder every minute, whispering ‘you can trust him’.

He nearly gives in and takes Sky’s hand before catching himself. Even if Sky really is as kind as he seems, there’s no way to know if he’s going to turn on him like the knights and villagers did. There have been kind people before. Kind and welcoming and who said they believed him when he told them about his adventure.

They didn’t always stay kind.

Instead, he pushes the memories thoughts away and agrees to follow behind Sky when the man suggests it- that way he can keep an eye on him and get away if he decides to stop being so kind after all. Pushing himself to his feet, he waits for Sky to start moving, keeping his hands close to his chest. (It’s only to make sure Sky doesn’t try to grab him. That’s all. Not because it’s soothing and makes him feel a tiny bit safer. He grew out of that a long time ago.)

(That’s a lie. It wasn’t that long ago that he had to stop or else worry about being caught.)

The two of them make their way back through the woods, Sky ahead and him behind. Not once does Sky turn back to grab him or reach for his weapon.

The closer they get to the edge of the trees the more his anxiety grows, and he finds himself drawing closer to Sky despite his earlier fear of him. When they leave the safety of the woods he latches on to the man’s leg and clings. He hasn’t done anything yet, and he’s beginning to think it will stay that way.

The group from before is still there, talking amongst themselves with worried expressions. They must be missing Sky, he thinks, wondering at the pang in his chest.

He starts when Sky lays a hand on his back and calls out, “I thought I told you guys to make camp! I’m gone, what, an hour? And I come back to find you all wandering about like headless cuckoos!”

He can’t help but snort at the mental image that conjures. Perhaps these people aren’t quite so dangerous after all if they can’t even make a camp.

He quails a bit when they notice him, but Sky keeps him steady and levels them with a look that makes them stop in their tracks. Then the man nudges him, gently, prompting him to look up and meet sky-blue eyes.

“Do you want to go say hi? They won’t hurt you, if that’s what you’re worried about.” He had forgotten about that for a moment, and the sudden rush of fear makes his chest squeeze tight. Sky must see it, because he adds, “And if anyone does something you don’t like, they’ll have to deal with me.”

That brings him up short. Sky would defend him? Against all of his companions? His chest feels warm suddenly, the fear loosening enough that he nods, earning him a smile.

Sky leads him over to where the rest of them stand waiting, his hand a firm and steady pressure on his back. The moment they get too close, he’s tugging on Sky’s pants to make him stop, and to his surprise he actually listens, keeping plenty of space between the two of them and the rest.

They form a circle before them and he can see them trying not to stare. He does the same from the safety of Sky’s leg.

“Okay,” Sky says. “Time for some introductions, I think. I already told you my name, I’m Sky.” He nods. Looking around, the feeling that he knows these people begins creeping up his spine, making it tingle uncomfortably.

They all introduce themselves at Sky’s urging. Most of them seem alright, but the knights make him startle badly, making Sky press his hand more firmly against his back. It doesn’t make him feel trapped, though, only supported.

Each name only exacerbates the feeling that he should- does- know these people. He presses closer to Sky, the names pressing into his mind as if to remind him ‘hey! you should remember us!’ It only makes his head hurt.

He swallows, gathering his courage, and glances up at Sky before looking back at the others. He opens his mouth.

“‘m Legend. I know you.”

There’s a moment of shocked silence before it erupts into noise. Quickly feeling overwhelmed by it all, he buries his face back into Sky’s leg. It helps, but only a little.

“What does he mean by ‘he knows us’? Shouldn’t he already know us?”

“Does it have to do with why he ran earlier?”

“I’m pretty sure that’s because he was overwhelmed and scared, probably due to the fact that he was surrounded by monsters and multiple people with weapons.”

Their voices overlap in a deafening cacophony, loud and painful and all-too familiar and his head hurts. His hands curl into fists, creasing the fabric in his grasp and he squeezes his eyes shut as he desperately tries to block it out.

Memories suddenly overlap each other in a jumble of confusion. He’s nine- no, nineteen, and on a quest through time- but hadn’t he done that already? There’s no Oracles or- or princesses or bad guys taking over kingdoms or- He winces as flashes of horribly strong monsters, ones that bleed black blood, lance through his mind. They’re chasing- or being chased?- by a Shadow, and he shudders as he recalls glowing red eyes, an ominous aura, sickening magic, it hurt Tw-

Legend whimpers, pressing against Sky’s leg as he mentally begs for the pain to go away. The man is comforting, in a way he can’t explain, and he needs that comfort right now. He feels a hand run through his hair, soothing and kind, and he wants to cry.

“Hey, bud, what’s wrong? Come on, talk to me.” Even his voice is soothing, which only makes Legend want to cry more.

“Mm-my he-head hurts...” He sniffles. Everything is still too much.

Sky must do something, then, because it suddenly gets quiet again. Footsteps approach, heavy and clanking, which makes him flinch. Sky doesn’t stop petting his hair.

“Legend?” More clanking and groaning of metal as whoever it is kneels down. The voice is strange-familiar like all of them are. He squints an eye open: tall, older, golden armor, strange markings on his face, one eye. Time. “Can I ask what you remember?”

Another wave of new-old memories makes him whine and press his face further into soft fabric. “U-um, ev’ryth’n’s all m’xed up...” He feels Sky rub his shoulder encouragingly. “I ‘member my fff-first ‘venture clearest. Ev’rythin’ else’s all... jumbly an’ muddled.”

“But you do remember us?” He nods.

Legend knows if he were older — his actual age, his mind reminds him — then he would be reacting very differently. He’d snipe and snarl and push them all away to deal with the pain alone.

He’s not nineteen right now, though, he’s nine. His clearest memories are waking in the night to a voice in his head and his only family gone, going to the castle only to stumble across his Uncle’s body in the sewers. He remembers cold steel pressed into his hands, finding the princess locked away and leading her to safety only to be accused of kidnapping her. He remembers how no one believed him, and how people he grew up knowing called the guards on him without a second thought. He remembers the Dark World, being tiny and helpless until he taught himself not to be. He remembers facing Ganon, not yet ten years old, and terrified out of his mind as he faced a monster unlike any other.

So he does not bare his teeth and storm away. Instead, he allows Sky to kneel down and draw him into a hug, burrowing into the man’s warm chest as he tries to make sense of all the memories and emotions crowding his mind. He’s rocked gently from side to side and something in his brain latches on to the motion, making his heart calm from it’s frantic pace and his chest loosen. Legend tucks his face into the crook of Sky’s neck, sighing as he finally relaxes for the first time since he found himself on the road surrounded by monsters and familiar strangers.

He feels safe.

PINNED POST

“No matter how many years are left to us, there will never be enough time to fill the void that has been borne inside each of us when we were made so brutally aware of how very little we mattered to the world.” -- Emilie Autumn

Hi, I'm Asher.

Or Rhysa, which is my writing alias; I used to go by Ashyr, too, and that's also okay!

And this is a multi-fandom blog where I sometimes share my own original content (usually writing). I am autistic, possess next to no ability to mask and don't intend to learn for anyone on the internet (sorry), queer, nonbinary (they/them or it/its only, please) and opinionated. I'm also an adult.

This blog is primarily SFW, but there may be some suggestive posts. If you are a minor, please consider that before following me (I won't take offense, promise). There won't be anything blatant, but I do reblog kink-positive things.

Primary Fandoms

Elden Ring

Final Fantasy XIV (there will be spoilers for all current patch content)

Ender Lilies

Hollow Knight

I sometimes share horror-adjacent things; you will find gore and scary imagery here.

I admin a creative-focused Hollow Knight discord server, found here. 18+ only, please.

Spare Me And You The Trouble

I am not here to get into shipping arguments with you or anyone else. If you REALLY want my opinions, you can send me asks off-anonymous and I'll answer you candidly in private. I am not interested in discourse of this nature (I am too old and tired please).

Also, if you are thinking about sending me some ask complaining that I ship Grollow, save us both the trouble and don't. I'm probably going to not answer.

But if you want to know why, I wrote a long answer here.

Writing Tags

My main tag for writing is #ashe writes. You can find my more popular fics under #w&g, #red sky, #do not go gently, #ld, and #butterfly effect.

I have an original project called The Starfire, which is the first work in a series called #burning roses. You can see inspiration tags for that periodically. It's a space-fantasy adventure-romance and I'm very proud of it! I'd be happy to answer questions if you're curious to learn more.

Other stuff is probably randomly tagged because I am very bad at remembering the tagging system. Sorry.

Find Me Elsewhere?

I’m on Ao3 as Rhysa, Shyra, and Shyr (18+). I sometimes use Twitter as ashyronfire.

My writing blog is @ashyronfire if you are only here for that. ❤

Other Stuff

Deepest apologies to the people who follow me hoping for regular FromSoft stuff but are just subjected to the constant bug train; it will continue to happen.

It's been so long, but I just want to get this off my chest cause what you dis really messed me up to this day.

Being accused of being a pedophile over headcanoning that a small creature whose form is that of a mysterious goo is an adult really ruined my experience with the Hollow Knight community and myself. I saw Ghost as a little sanrio character cause as an Asian who grew up in an Asian country, I was surrounded by little mascot characters whose height did not tell their age at all. You were one of my fave fic writers out there before all this, so seeing you sprout how people like me who have different headcanons are someone dangerous really messed me up as a survivor of abuse. I'm not telling you this to harass you like what your followers may insist cause last I checked they coddled you so much during this time, I'm telling you this cause you ruined one of my special interests with your redtagging. I hope you are happy. I think you pretty much rekindled one of my triggers too: Seeing popular fanfic writers redtag and harass others over headcanons.

Gonna block you again, but I'm just going to say this once: please be kind to others and remember that shit like this isn't enough to say someone is a predator. It just creates and breeds harassment and a person like you with thousands of followers should know better and be more responsible.

Anon, I truly am sorry that my reaction had such a profoundly negative effect on you. That was not my intention and I am genuinely distressed that I caused you such upset. If it helps, this experience actually did greatly sour my experience with the fandom as well, because I did not intend to have that effect and I did not want that effect. I was very, very tempted to simply delete my blog and start all over again specifically to erase any sort of concept of 'authority' that I might have in the fandom space, because the simple thought that someone might take my personal opinions and use them as an excuse to harass others just because I write fanfiction in my free time nearly gave me a panic attack. This isn't to draw the attention off of the fact that I hurt you- this is to drive home the fact that I am not in this fandom to be popular and there is nothing that I say that should be treated as word of god or used to harass others. I should not have that sort of power. Nor do I want it. It honestly makes my skin crawl and if I could wipe my name from everyone's minds while also leaving my work out there for others to find, then I would.

However, I never thought that you specifically were a pedophile, and I was in the wrong to say something that could be constructed as such. I spoke without thinking and without understanding that there was that headcanon beyond unsavory characters in the first place, my interactions with which greatly tarnished my perception of the headcanon because I didn't know any better. Genuinely- I went and asked the people I know in discord (who were likely most of those fans that 'coddled' me), and they told me I was wrong and all the ways that I was wrong, which gave me a big 'oh shit' moment. That's why I shifted my argument to simply explaining why I didn't like it- because yeah, I still fucking don't, but to me it's about as impactful as if someone likes pie vs cake. This shit, at the end of the day, isn't real. It's pixels on a screen and drawing on paper. When I spoke about how it left a bad taste in my mouth and how I had poor experiences with it in the past, that was about a personal bias and experience talking about a broad concept, not anyone specifically. Just because I considered it a red flag due to prior experiences, as stated, does not mean that it is a certainty of danger. I do not at all think that ones fictional preferences are honest indicators of the type of people they are in real life, just indicators that they're people I wouldn't get along with.

(fuckin hell, I'm fucking riddled with red flags myself- just look at my propensity for gore and tragedy and dark, violent media. That's as much of a red flag as what I was talking about before, but I can't handle the imagery of the other for reasons I can't explain other than irrational brain stuff. I also fully expect other people to look at the shit I'm into with disgust and mistrust and to block me on sight- there's plenty of people I've never interacted with who've done that already. Can't blame them for that.)

As for the thing about Ghost being similar to Asian mascots- I genuinely had no idea that was even a thing. I understand that I am biased in this regard. I was raised in a western country who has very different means of telling stories than eastern ones, and not only that, I also grew up in a very closeted-in all forms of the world-household. I didn't have any access to media other than what my local library had until I was around 11, and that was pretty much limited to fanfiction and googling all the shit that my parents banned from me. So I made zero connection to the sort of cutesy mascots in Asian cultures and Ghost until you brought that point up just now. My apologies again on that one, it's genuinely a blind spot on my part and had I known that before I certainly would have taken that into account.

However- and I'm also saying this as someone who has also encountered abuse (though admittedly a very different kind, so I cannot understand nor will pretend to understand that I know how you feel): please also understand that there will be many instances in your life where people trigger you by accident, and they have no idea that they did so until you point it out. This does not mean that they were deliberately trying to harm you. In this case, I was not at all trying to target you specifically- I don't even know you. I had no idea that what I said was an honest-to-god trigger because the whole time I was operating under the assumption that I was talking about something being 'fucking gross' the same way that lasagna is fucking gross, not as in 'I think everyone who thinks this way are genuinely dangerous people'. That's also why I responded so defensively, and why people who knew what I meant came to defend me- because from my perspective, I was talking casually, and then was getting angry replies back about something I did not mean, which felt like I was having words being put into my mouth. And that is a trigger for me as well. Which made it an even bigger fucking mess.

(There is also- and I will now fully admit to this now bc fuck I'm tired of fucking around with these goddamn arbitrary social media rules- a desire to keep antis off my back by playing up my disgust and vitrol to the subject. I've been at the center of their harassment and nearly lost friends bc of people labeling me a proshipper, so I figured the safe way to deal with it is to simply overflaunt a preexisting disgust response so that people don't attack me or accuse me of being something I'm not again.)

I triggered you. I did not know that, but that is not an excuse. You, however, also triggered me, which made the whole mess even worse. Let me explain- I grew up as an autistic child in a highly confrontational household, with a parent who would either deliberately set up scenarios that I would fail at or look for reasons to get angry at so he could blow up at me, yelling abuse and sometimes resorting to physical violence. Because I was the eldest who was supposed to be 'responsible' and 'a good role model' to my younger siblings, this meant that I was second in line for him to take out his anger on. He put words in my mouth and implications I did not mean all the time just so that he wouldn't feel bad later about backing me into a corner, destroying my possessions, and threatening to kill my pets if he did not outright hit me (which he only ever held back on because he was afraid of someone finding the marks and him being taken to jail). Me crying or apologizing only ever made him angrier, but getting angry and aggressive in return made it blow over quicker. So did trying to explain myself, because it at least let me verbally work over that the response I got was irrational. That was why I responded so defensively when I got put into a similar situation here, which is something that I somewhat regret but also do not entirely feel terrible about because how the fuck else was I supposed to respond when I kept explaining myself and you did not listen to me.

We're both human. Humans are messy and flawed. I am not someone that you should look up to or hold on a pedestal in any way because of this, nor should anyone else- I'm literally just a 23 year old guy who's obsessed enough with a story to write stories based on it in my free time, not some sage or king or god. I did not call you a pedophile personally for thinking that a fuckload of pixels I thought was a child wasn't, and when I was explaining why I don't like it, I was explaining my personal bias, not some tried-and-true gospel of divining the true meaning of fiction over something that is- as we just proved- incredibly difficult to discuss due to how subjective it is. I still maintain that my discomfort is very real and that it has a genuine basis in my own experiences, but that doesn't mean that it's valid or any more morally pure than yours. At the end of the day, it's not real, and the actual reason why I dragged this whole dilemma on for so long was because of the nature of the discussion itself throwing up all my self-defense actions rather than anything else. If I knew that it was a genuine trigger instead of fandom wank, and if I stopped getting asks in the first place, then I would have shut the fuck up a long time ago.

Def. recommend keeping me blocked, because while I certainly wouldn't mind reconciliation of a sort, I also think that our triggers overlap and that's not something that either of us should have to deal with. And I'm not talking about the Ghost headcanon either, because I no longer have that shitty knee-jerk reaction of 'oh god another cringe porn artist' to it, and- believe it or not!- have friends who are into completely different interpretations and ships and the like that I personally really dislike that I am also completely chill with because its my irrational meat brain that's the problem. I'm talking about the fact that when you're triggered, you get defensive and start jumping to conclusions (not unfounded ones btw) that unfortunately triggers my own defensive responses because jumping to conclusions is a stupid-niche trigger for me in turn. Shit's not good for either of us and I think you'd be way better off without me in your life.

And again, I really am very sorry that you thought I called you a pedophile. As I have said before, that was not my intention, and I have never believed that. I also will straight-up fight anyone who takes my irrational kneejerk dislike reaction and uses it to attack you, because that was ALSO not what I intended in the slightest and the thought of someone using my inability to shut up about my special interests as a means of 'word-of-god-ing' my likes and dislikes into fandom wank makes me want to hurl.

#i never even got proper socialization into my FUCKING LATE TEEN YEARS there is NO WAY that any of the shit i say should be followed blindly #like im not shitting on myself here and trying to play the victim im just being reasonable. im young and stupid #which means that i should be treated as such #anon #reply #also also. still kinda gritting my teeth at the concept of being 'coddled' when both of us were being fucking irrational as hell #lets face it #i was a goddamn ass but you also kept repeatedly ignoring what i had to say #and if i had to guess those werent my followers who were 'coddling me' those were just my discord friends #who saw i was having panic attacks over this and wanted to be nice #i dont hate you anon but im not going to lie and say that this isnt a two-way hurt because you did hurt me just as much as i hurt you #and neither of us were in the right but that doesnt mean it didnt happen either

Spider Knight 10: New Suit, New Me Part 2

Jaune would be in his bedroom and noticed that he was alone so he would get out of bed and go to the bathroom and look in the mirror. He noticed that his body was slightly more robust getting an expression of happiness but soon he would remember what had happened last night and he would look in the mirror with an expression that was a mixture of confusion and guilt.

Jaune(Mind): Damn I got that goo from the lab and I still haven't handed it back. But if I give it back I'll lose that extra strength I gained and I need this thing to help people…

Jaune would sigh and run some water over his face and take a shower. After putting on his uniform he would enter the oobleck classroom sitting next to his team.

Jaune: Hey guys sorry I'm late did I miss something important?

Pyrrha: It's ok jaune professor oobleck is just explaining some things about the vytal festival and some historical facts from last tournaments.

Jaune listened and would happily pay attention in class until he felt his scroll vibrate. He would take the scroll out of his pocket and turn it on seeing that nora had texted him.

Nora: Are you going to explain to me what costume was the one that appeared in the news or not? Am I going to have to wear something gothic to match you?

Jaune: After classes I explain everything.

Jaune kept his scroll in his pocket and continued his fierce attention in class. Time would pass and team jnpr were in beacon cafeteria getting their lunch and sitting at a table next to team rwby. Both team rwby and (j)npr were worried and weirded out by jaune because he had filled his plate with a lot of food and he was eating.

Jaune: Oh guys is everything ok?

Ruby: Hey jaune are you ok? You're eating more than nora after training.

Jaune: Oh I don't know what happened I just woke up very hungry.

Blake: Are you sure you don't want to go to the infirmary?

Jaune: Hm maybe that's a good idea but first I'm going to finish eating because this is so delicious!

Jaune continued to eat but something catches the attention of both teams and they would look to the side to see cardin's team making fun of velvet. Cardin was pulling her ear while Russell held her gun and was throwing it to the other members of his team as if it were a joke.

Yang: Cardin will never mature if he keeps doing these stupid things…

Weiss: Ah, I'm going to call a teacher…

While weiss was going to get up everyone from both teams saw jaune getting up and going towards cardin's team. Dove who would be holding the velvet camera via jaune approached with an angry expression on her face right after he would put the camera on a table and walk away. Cardin was surprised by Dove and the rest of his team moving away from him until he felt someone grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and lifting him that would make him release the velvet ear that walked away and went to the table where his team was. Cardin looked down and saw jaune who had hatred in his gaze caused cardin to gain a fearful expression on his face.

Jaune: I warned you what would happen if you mess with any of my friends in forever fall!

Cardin: Sorry I didn't know you were her friend!

Jaune would raise his fist to hit Cardin face and he would put his hands on his own face to try to defend and Jaune would let out a small laugh and then let him fall to the ground.

Jaune: Teach you something to get into that hollow head of yours. Don't mess with those who seem to be weak because there are people who protect them.

Jaune would go back to his seat and go back to eating and both team rwby and (j)npr would look at him with confusion and suspense on their faces.

Nora: JAUNE THAT WAS SO COOL!!!

Ruby: Seriously you were as cool as yang!

Jaune: I don't know how I did it, it was just something I felt inside of me and just ''Do it''

Lie Ren: But be careful jaune never really followed that inner voice sometimes.

Both teams continue talking and eating. After a while jaune would be on the terrace of the dorms sitting on the floor until he heard the sound of the door opening saw that it was pyrrha who soon after sat next to him.

Pyrrha: It was nice what you did for velvet.

Jaune: Hehe thanks pyrrha I just hope I wasn't too violent.

Pyrrha: But seriously now everything is fine jaune?

Jaune: Oh yeah and just a little anxiety about this tournament and stuff like that you know?

Pyrrha: Don't worry, our training is going well and we're going to do well in the tournament.

Jaune would blush slightly with pyrrha's comment and then he would put his arm around her and the two of them would see the stars that night.

(Sorry for the hiatus but i still gonna do thing of this au and if you have any ask about it just send and i gonna respond)

#rwby #jaune arc #weiss schnee #yang xiao long #ruby rose #blake belladonna #nora valkyrie #lie ren #pyrrha nikos #rwby au #marvel au #spider man au #spider knight #arkos

Pictured: Me, writing this liveblog late at night when I have work the next day.

If you look down at the lower right corner, you’ll find the time and it’s nine past eleven? In the forenoon? Talk about a sleep-in!

Staying in the lower right corner, we also find what might be Luz’ handle on this universe’s equivalent of twitter or X or whatever it’s called. She’s called FriendofOwlsandTitans.

Moving over to the left part of the screen, we find a The Good Witch Azura fanfic. Pfft, only one? I’ve got like twenty unfinished fanfics lying around my computer, get on my level.

Luz is also a gamer, as she’s got the alternate universe version of Hollow Knight, something called Hades, which I’m sure is a reference to something, and Totally Original Farming Game Moonfarm Valley.

Say. who do you think is Luz’ favorite bachelor/bachelorette in Stardew Valley? Oh wait, silly question, it’s Abigail. Who’s her second favorite then? I’m thinking… maybe Sebastian?

”Dear Diary. All I ever wanted was to be good at something. To be around people who also liked that something. And when I found the Demon Realm, I thought ’wow, I found it!’I can learn magic, I can be a witch! I won’t be the dummy in the principal’s office anymore.’ But I messed up too much a-and put everyone in danger.”

I-I’m sorry, I need a minute-

…

When I sat down, I was expecting to watch a sad cartoon child, not a reflection of myself. Did someone swap my computer screen for a mirror?

Shit… this hits a little too close to home for comfort, jeez Luise. ”All I ever wanted was to be good at something, to be around people who also liked that something.” No, that’s not me, nu-uh. It ain’t me, it ain’t me.

And after I just got done plugging my fanfics too… bloody hell’s bells…

Insert that one ”I’m in this picture and I don’t like it” meme.

”So… I know what I have to do now.”

Wait, what are you talking about now Luz? Do what? Luz, what are you planning here? Tell me right this instance, young lady!

And so does arrive the Spirit’s Eve. Check out the maze and see if you can find the Golden Pumpkin at the end!

Let’s see… I spy with my little eye… what looks like Jacob Hopkins (ugh) over by the round stage. Also by the round stage, but a wise distance away from the insane creep is what I think are the two guys Luz met in school. Next to them, sitting on the stairs of the big building are, um… decorations…? Either that or some of the shadow people from RWBY volume 1.

Next to one of the stands on the lower left side we find the principal from episode one, season one. It doesn't look like the snakebite had any lasting effects, that’s nice to see. Near the middle of the screen we find what looks like young Willy Wonka going trick-or-treating. By the hale bales next to the tractor we find someone who gives me Mickelina Räv vibes. Just throw on a yellow dress to complete the look.

Up on the tractor wagon itself we have what looks like Masha. And that could be the mom and daughter who got spooked by Philip earlier in the episode as well.

Finally, in the upper right corner of the street, we find Frybo talking to the steak from Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared 5. Now THERE is a cursed crossover idea.

What kind monster truck car is Camila driving that the top of the wheels reach Luz’ waist?

…

And wait a minute! Go back a few seconds! Were all of the kids squeezed into the backseat? All five of them?

Amity exits first, followed by Willow, meaning Amity must’ve been sitting in Willow’s lap. Then comes Hunter, followed by Gus, meaning Hunter was sitting in Gus’ lap, which really should’ve been the other way around considering Hunter’s bigger than Gus. Either that, or Hunter got the middle seat to himself and Gus sat in Luz’ lap, since she exits last.

Why couldn’t one of the kids be sat in the front passenger seat? Couldn’t Hunter have used his Oldest Brother privilege to get the front seat? That’s like on of the few nice privileges we have!

Also, I guess Vee didn’t come along. On one hand, staying at home instead of going to any form of activity involving a mass of people is super valid and cool. On the other, should the rotten mayonnaise of a man that is Philip rear his ugly head (or what constitutes a head in his current state), it might’ve been useful to have someone with the ability to drain magic.

#the owl house #liveblog #the owl house liveblog #toh s3e1 #thanks to them
