Weretoons
I couldn't help but think of this concept after seeing this post. *Check out @horologiiiumart to see their Pizza Tower AU* Cartoons! We know them from age to style, whether it be classics or modern day. The most unique of them being particular movies like Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, Space Jam and Looney Tunes Back In Action.
What makes these quite special, especially the forner, are the interactions between our world with the cartoon side. Toons live on completely different rules unlike normal people. Any natural laws of the world being replaced with their cartoon version.
Jumping ridiculous heights outta sheer fright, bodies mold and stretch when interacting with certain things or storing objects much stronger than the average pocket easily. It is an easy thing for a toon to understand and do. But what if there's an exception to this rule.
Weretoons are a very unique entity amongst were-beings. A non-toon being who becomes a fully functional Toon under various conditions. The basic being a full or crescent moon on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. (Days where new episodes for cartoons usually air on said night or incoming morning.)
*Caution must be heeded around Weretoons during the Blood Moon! Their antics have a high probability of not only becoming malicious but can potentially maim normal people! Lunar Eclipses will increase their aggression too.
Solar Eclipses and Blue Moons are the only safest shift alternatives for normal folk. Although it is best to keep an eye on inexperienced Weretoons with the latter. Blue Moons can cause uncontrollable sadness or unhealthy actions related to it.*
Transformations can also be triggered by excessive laughter, vengeful rage, or exposure to certain quantity of ink. Essentially the building blocks for cartoons in simpler terms. (Their purpose, the rules and creation of the popular Rubberhose.)
There is no clue if they occur naturally but these can be created through artificial means. Like any epidemic, it involved a Patient 0 and enough people to get infected for it to be impossible to eradicate. A Weretoon can spread their influence through biting, organ/blood transfusion, or their descendants.
*The percentage of those who become Weretoons through heritage start at 80% before dwindling down to the average 20% further down the bloodline.*
Weretoons don't always share the same species between non-toon and toon forms. A large chunk of individuals gain unrelated features or can become a completely different species upon a shift. EX: One human can become a Cartoon Dragon while another turns into a cartoon version of themselves.
In toon form, the Weretoon doesn't follow all natural laws. A good chunk are instead replaced with the Cartoon Laws of Physics. These new rules mainly focus on motion, objects, matter and gravity. Non-toons can be subjected to them by a Toon in the right moment.
Weretoons are born with a unique type called Tropes. These often determine their abilities and what kind of cartoon shenanigans they can do. Here's a simple list involving the more known ones. Link to a character archetypes for those who want to delve further.
Strongman- A trope that embodies incredible physical prowess such as strength or speed unmatched by many.
Eldritch Horror- A trope which manifests in transformations which range from varying degrees of body horror for intimidation and frights.
Jester- A trope that focuses on crafting mischief onto others on usually dangerous or potentially lethal levels.
Chaos Agent- A trope which embodies sheer mayhem with no care for the immense destruction wrought and anything caught up in the antics. *Most dangerous*
Loser- A trope that manifests as various degrees of misfortune or lackluster skill which can affect more than just the possessor.
Mad Scientist- A trope where anything can be made possible through science but will go wrong at some point and be possibly inhumane.
Magician- A trope which can turn the simplest sleight of hand into actual magic as long as the trick isn't fully interrupted.
Defense against Weretoons often varies upon the respective form. They can be killed like any non-toon equivalent if unable to or haven't shifted. It is highly important to not cause an blood drawing injury when a Weretoon is in mid-shift.
*This video is pretty good at explaining further depths on the concept of dealing with a toon.*
This often leads to a creation of a Clone. Clones are Toons born from this process and can create Weretoons just like their predecessors. The only differences between them being their tropes, appearance but also nature. Most clones tend to be very off-point or malformed versions of their Weretoon creators.
Their intelligence and copied memories usually varies between how close they are in resemblance to the original. All Clones are very clingy which often leads to stalking until taught not to. They tend to be very hostile with those deemed a threat to their Weretoon or said creator if mistreated enough.
It is near impossible to kill/injure a Clone and Weretoon in toon form except for one thing: The Dip. A lethal concoction of turpentine, acetone and benzene that became a real threat upon the popular staple status attained by Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. Weretoons can get hurt by it even if they aren't in toon form. Ink is the only thing that can treat Dip injuries. A fully submerged Weretoon will be severely burned in non-toon form and death can follow if they shift before removing the solution.
The Dip is a popular tool almost a particular group of people known as Cartoon Hunters. A common fear amongst Weretoons and Clones since these individuals will go to any length to kill a confirmed person. Most Cartoon Hunters won't let any moral boundaries like innocence or victims get in their way. Only the death of the Weretoons matter to them.
Dangers such as these led to most living in hiding or secret communities. Weretoons can be considered tall tales and crazy stories due to how elusive their nature has become. That doesn't mean there isn't a chance someone in your neighborhood can be one.

Shades
The first Persona game I've experienced is funnily enough not Persona 5. My true start in a sense had been the quieter and homey air of Persona 4 Golden. Despite not being able to play it back then, the game left enough impression to get me invested in the series.
There is one particular part that stuck with me though. It was the idea of someone's Shadow becoming a Persona through acceptance. A very common occurrence as everyone in the game except for the Protagonist gone through this.
Most of the bosses in 4 is someone's Shadow who went berserk if their other half rejects them. Why you may ask? Because these are the manifestations of our inner darkness, a Doppelganger. Doppelgangers can be considered an already volatile powder keg to put it simply.
Personas are the opposite side of this very coin. An incredible power that can only be wielded when someone accepts their shadow half and can take many forms depending on the person. Or you might view it as a conduit for a summon if going for the demons route like in Shin Megami Tensei.
Shadows can become Personas and vice versa. Yet, what if there's a halfway point? Neither a Shadow or Persona but have the potential to become either depending on their choices.
An entity I will call a Shade. Beings stuck in the threshold between both paths and whose actions can determine what they become. Shades work on completely different rules though.
The creation process being the biggest difference as they don't originate from any variation of the Metaverse. Every Shade was once a human or non-cognitive being. From an entire person to even a body less soul.
All Shades are someone whose life or potential were completely shattered. Those that wish to move forward but can't without assistance. Shades can be created in two different ways.
First is Patronage where a Persona or Shadow offers to grant them this wish. The Shade born from such a process always takes after their 'Patron' in form and have similar abilities. EX: Shades whose Patron is Arséne often tend to share the Curse attribute alongside physical traits to him like horns, wings, or similar attire.
The second is Cognition Metamorphosis. A peculiar process where the potential Shade manifests their own form without a patronage. Their visage and abilities are based on the individual's inactive Shadow/Persona. Cognition Metamorphosis can only occur if the potential Shade has a strong spirit or in an area heavily linked to the Metaverse called a Transcendent Point.
The state of the person's body upon either transition is an important factor. Should a potential Shade not have one or it is too damaged then it'll take time to fully develop. Kinda like tadpole into frog.
An accurate comparison unlike those who do have an intact body. They fully emerge from it as a complete Shade. A process made easier and faster with their old body acting like a conduit or a chrysalis to be more accurate.
Now I can really delve into differences that Shades have when it compared to Persona and Shadows. These entities can be fully interacted by everyone outside of the Metaverse. Normal living beings are able to see, hear and even touch Shades without any issue.
This is because they aren't fully separated from the human realm until becoming either a Persona or Shadow. Although there will be complications though. Every Shade has a negative effect on a person's perception of them.
These tend to range from unable to say certain words, inability to hear their voice, or an unnatural villainization. A sometimes very volatile twist in perception as some individuals become unreasonably hostile to Shades that can affect them. Not everyone is susceptible to this negative shift though.
Shades are born with the ability to create Domains. Personal dens and places of safety that can be created by melding their power into an area. A pseudo Safe Room to put it simply. Domains can be adjusted by their respective Shade whether on purpose or personal growth towards their Persona/Shadow evolution.
If a Shade die, then their body and anything crafted by their powers disintegrate as erased from existence. How they become a Persona or Shadow also varies. The latter being more easier to achieve if a Shade looses themselves to inner darkness from sorrow to sheer malevolence.
In order to become a Persona, they have to find their goal. Whether it be a purpose, truth, or even a resolve. A Shade who manages to reach this particular goal then they become a Persona and can leave the mortal realm for the Sea of Souls. These two respective processes are called Ascension/Descension.
Persona born from Shades can remember their past lives with full detail and are able to return to the mortal realm if they formed a strong enough bond with an individual(s). Those that become Shadows hold no memories nor emotions other than the one which created them. It is highly advised to be ready for a vicious fight if encountered.
Shades have the ability to grant boons to non Persona users which can evolve over time, Crowning being the term. Animal like receivers become Familiars who could potentially transform into powerful Beasts called Dusks. People are blessed with powerful weapons, armor and even magic.
If the crowning Shade becomes a Persona then their familiars transition into Shades while Dusks become Persona. Items or magic transcend into much more powerful variations. Not the same can be said for the opposite.
If this Shade becomes a Shadow, then their familiars transition into unstable Shades and Dusks to volatile Shadows. Given items or magic become cursed making them very hazardous to the wielder. Even those around the gifted can be in danger if too close.
This is probably one of the few ideas that I already wrote for but never flesh out. For those wondering, it is a MHA/Persona fanfic on Ao3 called Incarnation. (One that needs to be updated as it's stuck in hiatus.)
If you guys want to try out this idea then go ahead. Make sure to link the page so any confusion can be confused and others could give a try. I'm always curious on what people can come up with!

Persona 5: Phantom Cat Pt2
Here we go with Part 2 of the Phantom Cat AU. I'll be covering the Confidants, plot changes, but also the potential of Poppy Playtime being more involved. Let's get started.
If I can sum up the Phantom Thieves' relationship with Joker in one word, it'll be protective. Even the Personas especially Arsène are no different. Ren does admit to once being human but everyone doesn't learn about his tragic backstory until after Okumura's Palace.
You can bet their ass they were disgusted upon finding out Playtime Co's inhumane experiments. It isn't uncommon for Ren to find one or more of his companions lay against him when he loafs around like a giant cat. Something the Thieves' Den makes easier as Leblanc's attic is not that spacious.
Morgana sympathizes with Ren the most. Both of them aren't human and won't be accepted by the outside world for it. Ren was lucky to find someone who raised him with kindness than just free the young man from a terrible fate. They're feline brothers, your honor.
Ryuji, Yusuke and Haru are three flavors of food friends. The former track star sneaking out for a daily run with Ren alongside the occasional ramen or snack food chow downs. His zoomies become manageable thanks to Ryuji. (Sojiro is still reeling from a hyper Ren pouncing on him.)
Yusuke enthusiastically introduces the living toy to the art world since he cannot visit a museum like a normal patron. Ren sometimes find himself being a muse for some of his paintings and usually portrayed as a peculiar enigma. The two always chow down on curry afterwards.
Gardening with Haru anyone? Ren always feel bad about how much money his new family have to spend just to keep him fed. (Futaba had a limit put on credit theft by Sojiro as he doesn't want both his kids to rely on illegal crime to survive.) Something Haru can understand since she has similar issues. The two bond over coffee together.
Emotional support Ann is a definite. The two constantly talk about facing their issues and ways to strengthen their heart. Ren is always happy to lend a ear whenever Ann has problems in her model career or updates about her friend Shiho's recovery. She gives good advice when the giant toy needs help getting Futaba used to the outside world.
Makoto is the socially awkward training partner. Both Ren and her don't have much experience with people outside their friend group so neither know what can be considered normal. The two hammer out each other's issues whenever possible or just vibe together.
All of the Persona in the group do their best to make Ren feel normal every time the group is together thus shenanigans are guaranteed. Carmen and Milady are the wine aunts who endorse the chaos. Necronomicon is his 2nd fellow prankster partner(Futaba is 1st).
Zorro, Johanna and Goemon being the only responsible adults most of the time. Captain Kidd is a sheer chaotic neutral as no one knows whether he'll start something or remain level headed. Finally we get to Arsène.
The poor pigeon hasn't been in this particular element before. Nonhuman Persona Users are a thing so it ain't that. Ren's heart can be considered a massive mess. Whatever was done to make him a living toy, it left something vile behind. Yet Ren continues to defy fate even with the leech latched onto his soul.
Thus Arsène can be a bit more aggressive when it comes to Ren's health. Always near the surface of his partner's subconscious whether to offer soothing words or protect him if needed. In the Thieves' Den, Arsène is usually found snuggled next to Ren with a cover around his knife heels.
Now most of Joker's Confidants are people he has to sought out. A more complicated affair due to not being human. There is actually one more Confidant he has mostly maxxed out and knows about his status: Tae Takami of the Death Arcana. (Yes I absolutely complete the whole thing early just to unlock Alice.)
Sojiro was concerned about Ren's health as they had no clue if or when health complications will occur. Thus it led to Tae becoming his secret doctor as she not only the closest but is trusted amongst the community for her skills. It was a very interesting conversation to say the least.
Now Ren is quite crafty when it comes to establishing his other bonds. Until he could shift into a more human size, Futaba prepared a special plushie with a built in-camera that he can talk through. The excuse being Ren is an hospital patient undergoing recovery after serious health complications and this toy helps him interact with the outside world.
Now onto plot changes, the deadlines alongside their consequences for failure remain the same. It's just not for the first two Palaces. Ren is still captured and put in the Interrogation section. Although it took the traitor attacking from the shadows to injure him enough for police to subdue the Bigger Body.
He's far more beat up, chained and has a specialized muzzle since Ren is a giant chloroform breathing cat toy monster. Can't forget the possibile dissection if he can't escape his fate. The plot for the Third Semester dances around the chance to be human again in his face. Ren doesn't take it of course.
For Scramble, he casually chills in everyone's bags and pull the special patient card to converse with others. Ren can still cook as it's a calming hobby for him alongside gardening. Plus the sight of a giant CatNap in an apron cooking was too hard to resist.
Also yes, I am in the 'Adopt Sophia' group cause she's precious. Especially when Ryuji got to say fuck just to defend her. Sophia definitely calls Ren 'kitty' but he really doesn't mind unlike Morgana. Yes, they do snuggle in the Thieves Den as no one shall avoid the cuddle pile.
Awkward dad Zenkichi anyone? Man absolutely flipped upon seeing Ren as he thought the whole report about 'Phantom Cat Joker' being a giant purple monster was a joke. Nope and you shall get your tired ass dragged into cuddles cause Ren smells stress.
The Persona also get more involved in the shenanigans too. Only Ren's confidants or those who delve into the Metaverse long enough can see much less interact with them. Best to keep Captain Kidd away from fireworks though. (There are special cases but that's for later.)
Before you ask, yes, Joker's main Showtime special is different. Instead of just blasting Shadows with Eiha, Ren breathes out chloroform smokescreen and bursts forth alongside Arséne to come down on their targets like a predator. The attack retains the Curse element but does Physical damage too. A Two in One type combo.
Tactica's plot remains the same however every target views Ren with disgust. All saying there is an 'chimeric abomination' latched onto his heart. The enemies also target him more than Erina and the other thieves.
Speaking of her, she does think Ren is a cat who again doesn't really mind much. Toshiro absolutely freaks out and takes awhile to get used to him. Gameplay wise, Ren is mostly the same except he has more movement options to fit his feline Bigger Body.
Pouncing on further away enemies, inflict Sleep status in large groups, and his Phantom Judge special turns into Phantom Roar. An attack where Ren breathes out a massive cloud of chloroform for Arséne to convert into a Eiha powered explosion. Not only does it do massive damage but also has a high chance of inflicting Sleep status on targets.
Finally we move onto Poppy Playtime. If you guys were paying close attention, then the signs should be obvious. Something is connected to Ren and his past holds the answers. Thus the Phantom Thieves of Hearts visit the Playtime Co Factory to see if they can help their friend. He had been experiencing vivid nightmares which all link to this place.
Now the factory isn't the same like in the game. For unknown reasons, the place has become a pseudo-Mementos linked to the collective consciousness of the various souls who linger inside. Thus the factory has potential to shift anyone in the affected areas in or out the Metaverse side without warning.
A chance of Shadow attacks are not only high but there is a possibility that something even deadlier lurks inside. There are occasions where it is required to travel through this dangerous 'Labyrinth' to progress deeper. (Can't have them blazing through the place.)
Everyone split into two groups so they can cover more ground. Group 1: Ren, Yusuke, Ann, Makoto; and Group 2: Morgana, Haru, Ryuji, Futaba. They'll be encountering characters who not only appear in Poppy Playtime but also Project Playtime. Player character is there too so the Phantom Thieves will meet them.
Guaranteed canon divergence as some of the Poppy Playtime cast might not even encounter the game protagonist. The Phantom Thieves won't ignore someone in need *looks at one particular character* and don't kill their targets. For them, living with guilt for one own sins is a fate worse than death.
New players have entered the game that neither groups could ever foreseen. Can the Phantom Thieves of Hearts solve the mystery and shut down this the factory's immense distortion? Only the phantom cat will determine victory or defeat.

To Save A DogDay
I couldn't help but write this after seeing the constant dedication of saving the giant toy doggo. So here's something to assist you guys in the effort. I've done some research(even though Google was being an ass) and took a look at this particular post by @dafloof
First off, DogDay is surprisingly big despite being cut in half. If I have to compare his size then think of those giant plushies you win from a theme park or carnival game. Thus the only possible carry for the average person to safely escort him is bridal or hanging off like a koala on the side due to the grab pack. He might be able to shrink himself to a more manageable size if DogDay is similar to CatNap in body structure.
Although that doesn't mean the task is impossible outside of adrenaline. DogDay may be big you got to think about his possible weight. Bigger Bodies are still toys with the Smiling Critters being plushies. How much of him is stuffing and not organs?
The necessary body parts for him to still be alive are the lungs, heart, brain, stomach, and some sort of skeletal structure. Here's a weight chart for the average human. (Although these might be smaller if harvested back as a child than an adult.)
Stomach: 2-4 pounds/lbs
Brain- 2.5 pounds/lbs
Heart- 0.25 pounds/lbs
Lungs- 1.8 pounds/lbs
Human Skeleton- 15-25 pounds/lbs
Average weight here 21.05 - 31.05 lbs. His arm bones might be reinforced similar to the Prototype but they still wouldn't be that heavy. For carrying in your arms, 35- 55 lbs is what the the untrained person can hold. Body weight contributes to how much someone can carry with a 139 lbs untrained woman being able to deadlift around 74 lbs. For men it is 125 lbs for 148 lbs.
Adrenaline can help contribute to this as there have been feats done by people in dangerous situations. One example being a human mother fighting off a polar bear to protect her kids or someone moving a car by themselves to get free. We can do insane things when it comes to survival.
There's also the mental side to this. Our brains actually diminish the perception of how strong we are by 40%. If you carry something you love or cherish like a person, then they can weigh less just from that viewpoint. Sometimes thinking like the Little Engine That Could will make a difference.
Now I am not forgetting the dangerous little critters. There are ways to deal with them and have enough time to bring DogDay along. In his cell, there are two ports they can crawl out of. Blocking these whether by flares or stuffing them with nearby items can do the trick.
Second is bribery. We aren't restricted to the environment like in the game and throughout the facility there are intact vending machines. The toys obviously need to eat but seem unable get into the machines. YOU CAN.
Break the glass and stockpile as much snacks as possible. Finding bags or boxes to carry them wouldn't be hard. Offer these to the little Critters in exchange for DogDay. You can open one bag for further incentive as the chance to get a special treat is something no one will be able to resist.
DogDay might be able to drag himself so breaking the chains with the Grab Pack or a different tool is possible. They are probably rusty thus easier to break. It will obviously hurt for DogDay to drag his body so stealing something like a cushion from CatNap's hideyhole could ease the pain.
Should that not be the case then other options are available. Considering Playcare is a fun house, you might be able to find scooterboards or a platform cart to carry him. If not then a makeshift sled to pull DogDay about is the next best move.
Now there's actually another escape route. A duck ride that you couldn't access in the game due to bugs. I think Mob was planning for a chase down there as it is fully fleshed out with puzzles and an environment.
DogDay can hold onto the boat while you solve the puzzles to get out. For those who hadn't chosen bribery then flares will keep pursuing Little Critters away. Maybe set a fire as you escape since there's plenty of items to make a molotov cocktail if crafty enough.
I suggest finding some walkie talkies as someone needs to look after DogDay. The area under the statue can be a possible safe spot but being able to contact Kissy Missy and Poppy will better the chances of his recovery than just survival. Both know the factory's inner works enough to remain hidden so they might know where to find supplies. A possible ally with valuable info can sway them to help.
There is also the option of coming back to Playcare. DogDay might still be alive as you can hear his muffled cries during the chase. He might be worse for wear due to the little menaces piloting him like a bootleg Megazord. Walkie talkies can help you page Kissy Missy to help with escorting the Bigger Body safely.
It is possible to save DogDay if you are smart or crafty enough to use the environment. The factory offers a lot of potential options to help with that. Do know that you can turn a simple water gun into a flamethrower.
Why follow the rules of the game when there are ways to break them?

Persona 5: Phantom Cat
An idea that plagued me ever since I saw Poppy Playtime Chapter 3 and been playing Persona 5 Royal. Joker but he's a Bigger Bodies CatNap. Things are gonna go insane and have a new flavor of dark.
For those who want to learn more about Poppy Playtime before delving in, this post has all the current info links.
Ren Amamiya was an orphan raised in the Playcare orphanage at Playtime Co. A secondary candidate for the Catnap Bigger Bodies experiments if one were to be found too unstable to use(looks at Ch3 CatNap). It's clear from the various VHS tapes which can be found throughout the chapter that there are some workers who been aware about the horrors done in Playtime Co.
People who absolutely hated it or disagree with such inhumane idealism. One particular scientist decides to do something unheard of: allow a child experiment to escape. Ren being the chosen person as they had grown close to him but were unable to adopt him in time before experimentation. The transformation for the boy gone faulty which led to a more unorthodox method of conversion.
Ren was made into a small Catnap who will overtime grow into a Bigger Bodies version. The perfect size for the scientist to sneak him out in a duffle bag and vanish after work was done for today. A simple swap with a normal Catnap toy.
No one knew they were in the process of moving to Japan nor the truth until it was too late. An experiment has gotten out into the real world. The scientist alongside the recently converted Ren were unaware about the growth process and thought he been made into a normal toy.
A mistake that became noticed when Ren had double in size within a span of two weeks. Despite this new problem, the scientist did his best to raise the boy. Unlike the other CatNap, Ren is completely different from the Smiling Critters as a whole.
His face isn't a stuck in a perpetual grin and he can make various facial expressions like his cartoon counterpart. Ren is around 12 years old when he fully grew into his staggering 23 ft tall Bigger Body. Long lanky body that is more lean has an almost humanlike upper torso. Well if they got extra long limbs.
The youth can easily pretend to be a toy as he's well fed and the healthy weight hides his bone structure. (CH3 CatNap was starved.) Ren can compress his body to 11 ft at minimum for the moment. He needs to train in order to shrink to the size of a plush, even more to reach rat size(thank Shido's Palace.)
(Comparison Bigger Bodies Catnap and the small toy alongside the cartoon art)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ren doesn't produce Red Smoke but instead normal choloform. This is because he would be upgraded once reaching full size back at Playcare under The Doctor's orders. A safe measure to not deal with two rogue Red Smoke spraying CatNaps.
He didn't have a voice box added as the employees involved in this experiment rather leave him mute. Ren does get one from his rescuer which sounds like his own voice but can be adjusted to fit his age. Despite being a Bigger Body the youth lives a very happy life.
A few weeks after Ren's thirteenth birthday is when tragedy struck. The boy lost his parent from the result of a drunk driver(Shido.) Ren is forced to pack up all his prizes possessions and leave knowing their family home would soon be foreclosed.
He moves into Yogen-jaya as the place was the closest, most rural but most importantly least populated area. Ren survived by eating whatever food people threw out and stealing from homes if desperate. On one fateful day, he breaks into Sojiro's place where meets Futaba.
She was obviously frightened by the 11 ft (compressed) monstrous cat in her house. Until Futaba notices that the strange creature acted more like a hungry skittish feline from the almost empty messy fridge. It was in that moment Futaba would do something insane. She let Ren stay with her.
Using her hacking skills, the youth stole money from people's bank accounts/cards and ordered Ren food to pick up in secluded spots throughout the neighborhood. The duo's bond becoming that of siblings over time. Although it didn't take long for Sojiro to bump into Ren.
He was super concerned and frightened to see the giant feline in his home even when Futaba jump into his defense. It took awhile before Sojiro trusted Ren as he let the Bigger Body stay due to the sibling bond with his adopted daughter. The two were obviously disgusted at Playtime Co once they heard about the boy's backstory.
For those wondering, this entire thing did change events in the Persona 5 main story. The first being the Phantom Thieves line up. Makoto takes Ren's position as she was taken into Kamoshida's Palace alongside Ryuji in his place. He becomes leader much later.
Next is the Palace lineup. There are no time limits for the first two(no expulsion threat nor Medjed threat. Makoto kept Ryuji from losing his cool for the former.) Futaba's Palace takes the second slot instead of Madarame. The reason being her mental attacks have gotten so worse that Ren sought the Phantom Thieves' help upon finding the Phansite. Futaba was rightfully upset upon finding out but she understood her big brother's worry.
A few depictions of Ren can be found inside her Egyptian Themed Palace, each showing him as a guardian deity. Even Shadow Futaba carries a little charm that looks like him. Ren also awakens Arseńe in this very Palace. His Phantom Thief outfit remains the same but can stretch or shrink to fit his body no matter the size change. Same goes for his weapons, the knife becoming a broadsword when large and the handgun into a grenade launcher.
The current Phantom Thieves absolutely freaked out when they first met Ren. For the beginning, he gave them the request and the keywords to reach her Palace. However Ren wasn't aware that a new obstacle had manifested due to his powerful bond with Futaba.
A stone Sphinx at the halfway point who will only let them through if they present the 'The Pharaoh's True Guardian'. The group believe they needed a plush which is sorta correct. I thought it be funny yet perfect symbolism to make Ren a key companion for Futaba's Palace. Now onto the Joker changes.
Ren is still a Wildcard but he has no access to his original Velvet Room. Keyword being 'original' for he'll gain usage to a completely different one. This one being managed by Margaret who been concerned about the strange behavior of Igor and Lavenza's absence.
Ren's appearance in the Velvet Room is his canon iteration. Although this room takes the appearance of a fun house with him wearing a Catnap hooded costume. Every mechanic in the Velvet Room revolves around carnival rides or game booths.
Fusion are the tea cup rides while Fusion Alarm shifts into Bumper Cars. Itemization is a the Disappearing Crate magic trick. Strengthening results in the Hall of Mirrors. Training being various games from tossing to dunk tanks.
I will be going over the Confidants, Thieves' Den and the other Persona 5 games in a different post as this is getting pretty long. That's it for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you later.

Small reminder that I do not allow reposts of my fanfic works to other websites, such as wattpad.
Do not repost my works. If I wanted it on another site, I would use my account to post it there myself. If you find a repost of my work (art or written fanworks) and the reposter says they have permission, they are lying.

Impossible Curse Statistics: Shenanigans
Hey folks! We're on the last part of our Fatal Error Reader shenanigans. This time delving into Jujutsu Kaisen's dark curse filled world. Like seriously, canon barely gives any reprieve unlike Darker Than Black. AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.
Fatal Error Reader here is the stressful single parent ready to punch someone amongst the iterations. Snarky and eager to snap at anyone being dumb except for Yuji. (He gets light scolding.) Any swear words are guaranteed when it comes to those like Sukuna or Gojo.
FE Reader does all they can to give Yuji a great life. There are some difficulties as their inhuman appearance isn't exactly suited for the public. Main reason why Yuji carries around a small electronic device, usually a Tamagotchi, so Fatal Error Reader can hide inside.
The living virus will often hack into people's bank accounts to gather any needed funds for essentials like to the occasional spoiling. Every victim being someone cruel or corrupt from thugs to twisted politicians. Any attempt of the target to trace the drainage always ends with a system crash by the virus.
Fatal Error Reader teaches Yuji to not do anything illegal like they did. (Scaring the shit out of bullies or unnerve others is allowed though.) If someone is gonna commit a necessary evil, then no way would it be their child. Even moreso when Yuji is attacked by a curse on his 8th birthday.
Out of instinct, Fatal Error Reader merged with young boy and obliterate the curse. This sudden union led to a realization that they can fuse together due to some unknown power Yuji held. An ability which has some consequences with some visible.
Instead of becoming part Curse, he becomes part digital virus like FE Reader. The only noticable changes are his new fangs, small claws, reddish eyes and hair becoming a reddish pink. Yuji has an alternate form where the virus side truly manifests.
Four tetrabrachial arms with the upper pair being double in size, skin mimicking FE Reader's fur pattern specifically both color alongside similar properties like the subspace stomach, black eyes but the pupils being red Xs, hair now pinkish red quills, 3 ft taller in size, his mouth become a fang filled jack-o'-lantern maw, long hedgehog ears and 3 pairs of large crimson spike quills on his back.
The living virus still regrets this accidental conversion but Yuji doesn't blame them. He thinks it's an awesome birthday gift despite the realization to come once he is older. Both learn to accept the permanent change as Yuji adjust to his new capabilities.
The events of canon still occur albeit with heavy changes. FE Reader kept Yuji from taking Sukuna's cursed finger in the first place. Malevolent energy radiating off the appendage was enough to earn a Hell No within a few seconds of exposure.
It doesn't stop someone else from taking the item and cause the school to be overrun by Curses like in canon. Megumi questions Yuji at the hospital with the reason being the strange 'energy' the half virus radiates. FE Reader holds down the urge to punch the young man as their son just lost his grandfather minutes ago.
Megumi eats Sukuna's Finger to survive against the Grasshopper Curse while Reader took Yuji's friends to safety. They weren't exactly happy when the possessed boy attacked their son during that time. Yuji taken on his Fatal form to better defend himself until FE Reader interferes.
The living virus ends up fighting against Sukuna before freeing Megumi from the King of Curses. Gojo appears to retrieve the young man and lets the two go since they saved his apprentice. The viral duo however are now mark for capture then execution by the Sorcerer Council.
Nothing like Yuji and Fatal Error Reader has ever been seen before in the history of Jujutsu. The fact both held their own against Sukuna says how strong they could possibly be. A matter made only worse when the King of Curses shares interest in Fatal Error Reader.
He sensed a lot more potential from the living virus than even his current vessel. Sukuna wants FE Reader all for himself. Every last piece of them that he'll use Yuji as bait if needed. The digital entity already show their maternal protectiveness towards the boy.
FE Reader has plenty of snide, colorful threats to go with their punches. Especially as Sukuna loves to piss them off akin to Gojo. Powerful and feisty are fun to mess with in his opinion.
Gojo wants to keep the two alive. Both are interesting individuals and can help him better the world of Jujutsu unlike the corrupt Council. There's also the fact that FE Reader somehow jammed Sukuna's possession over Megumi by eating away at the Curse's power. (I ain't going for everyone has Yuji's mental resistance stereotype.)
A seal type choker has been made from the leftover energy the living virus had left behind. It suppresses Sukuna by eating away at his Curses Energy. However if Megumi overuses his abilities then there's a chance the King of Curses will take control.
This is merely a small chunk compared to the changes I'll be making towards canon. It won't make things easier for FE Reader nor Yuji though. There are plenty of threats gunning for their heads.
Possessive as hell 1000 year old Curse, a corrupt sorcerer council with non corrupt followers in pursuit, Curses and Curse Users that wants to see what makes them tick. Even moreso when the living virus goes Critical once their hunters push too far. If normal FE can eat away Cursed Energy and Critical Error is stronger than base form...
You can sum what could happen with these particular lyrics from Fatality Invasion Mix 2: 'This is my world. It's my art! Your code is mine! Let's restart! Played with my fire, the seal is broken. Unleashed my will, now the grief's awoken.'
That's all I have for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you later!

Glitch in the Relics Shenanigans
Hey there everybody. I'm back with FE Reader shenanigans and this time we're dwelling into the world of Knack. Gonna be quite a doozy as our heroes have more than just technology to contend with. Simple or unconventional weapons tend to be used a lot in this particular franchise. Let's get started.
Between the three iterations, Fatal Error Reader here remains mostly chill in temperament. They are still snippy and a bit snide about the situation. It leads to counter snark whenever someone says or does something stupid. Mostly and harshly at Viktor.
The entire team didn't fully trust FE Reader at first. Understandable when the human now virus had hack and emerge from Viktor's security drone. I can imagine they have a very advanced firewall to handle viruses. Something Doctor is aware of since he does have history with Viktor.
There were definitely questions when Reader says they used to be human. Ones that wouldn't have much answers since the living virus is still confused about the situation. Viktor doesn't care about it though.
The billionaire already saw FE Reader as an unwanted pest even moreso when it comes apparent that their abilities expand further than crashing programs. Doctor, Ryder, and Lucas are willing to give the virus a chance. Knack is a mesh of friendly curiosity.
FE Reader's strange abilities doesn't really faze him since he's just as abnormal. Also it is quite obvious that they have no idea about their potential powers either. Like the general freakout upon realizing virus' stomach turn out to basically be a pocket dimension when they had accidentally lost the communicator inside.
He does his best to make sure FE Reader doesn't feel alone throughout the entire journey. Even when they both accidentally find out the virus could hitch a ride inside his chest orb. It did feel weird as Knack heard FE Reader inside his head and they can partially merge with his body to assist him. (Think of the CO-OP Knack fusion from Knack 2.)
Everyone obvious freaked out when FE Reader practically became a hooded cape like shroud over Knack's upper body. His face seen inside their jaws akin to him wearing a helm, the viral upper arms entangle around the golem's own that they were now larger while the lower limbs remains normal and their body overlap his in a plasma state without obscuring the relics. It felt even more awkward speaking due to their voices being mixed together.
Doctor: Incredible... Are you two alright?
FE Knack::I- We're fine other than feeling so tingly. Like just had six straight shots of the most intense expresso/black coffee combo strong.
Ryder: That actually sounds worse than what the Doctor makes for his longer projects.
Doctor: Hey! My preference to get enough caffeine to complete my inventions isn't that bad.
Lucas: Not when it's stronger than three energy drinks. -_-
Despite the oddities between each other their kinship is very strong. Reader often storing any relics they find in their pocket space so Knack can defend himself better or communicate vocally if he's small. It isn't uncommon to see the virus napping inside the golem's chest orb, evidence being soft red data 'flakes' ebbing off it. Knack and Reader are protective of each other, moreso the latter who will share their ire if the former is mistreated.
FE Reader: Call him a pet one more time then you'll quickly find a gag sewn inside your throat and a muzzle glued to that sad excuse for a face, Viktor.
Lucas: That's much more extreme than what I had in mind. Any tips?
FE Reader is gonna be quite an influence on Lucas. They are happily willing to hear him out whether it be his ideas or opinions. Even moreso that he's part of the group decisions tends to be sidelined for his age.
Doctor documents any info that revolves around Reader's powers and mannerisms. He is given permission as the former human wants to understand their new body without accidentally hurting anyone. Although they'll pull Vargas back if he goes a bit overboard.
Ryder is there for the ride and hopefully keep things civil in the group. When it comes to FE Reader, he helps in wherever he can. Simple advice and of course warnings on what machinery is fragile to errors.
FE Reader ends up going into the Goblin Village thus separated from Lucas and Knack. Or living virus tries to keep three unarmed people alive throughout a heavily fortified fortress. Not a fun experience especially when said virus loses their temper.
When canon Fatal Error looses his temper, he takes on Critical form. More powerful, more monstrous, and even more eager to tear apart who garners his rage. Same goes for FE Reader albeit with a chaotic buckwild attitude instead.
Tumblr media
You can sum it as a walking hurricane of viral code. They'll need to constantly feed on energy or data in order to sustain Critical mode should their rage wane enough. FE Reader will be exhausted afterwards.
They seem to have a peculiar reaction to Giant Relics or exposure to large quantities of relic energy. One such instance would be immediately going Critical just by touching the giant relic in Viktor's Mansion.
Whatever connection they may have to these particular artifacts are still unknown. It will put Fatal Error Reader and those they care about in the crossfire for those with bad intentions. Whether they be humans, goblins or something else.
It'll take more than crashing a few systems to tackle this particular threat. That won't stop this living virus from trying. It's delete or be deleted.
That's it for now! Untill next time folks, I'll see on the next expedition. Ciao!

Herald of Ruin: Return
We're onto part 2 folks for Herald of Ruin. Delving into the Transformers side but also why the au got it's name. Buckle up cause things are gonna get buckwild.
Now in games like Pokemon Sun/Moon and Legends Arceus, a slightly more religious element is intertwined with the Legendaries alongside Lords. Lords are Pokemon said to be blessed by Arceus but also play a pivotal role in the latter game. These unique creatures pick people to serve a special role. Kahuna for Alola while Retainer for Hisui.
In a sense, these people are those Pokemon's Champions. Orion Pax doesn't know that he has been chosen for such a role but not under Primus. Remember how I mentioned the Treasures of Ruin?
Well, Blackbox wasn't the only one he had release. Orion set free ALL of them. Chi-Yu the Ruinous Beads, Chien-Pao the Ruinous Blade and Ting-Lu the Ruinous Vessel. He didn't catch them though as none wanted to join him.
A decision that garner both surprise yet also curiosity. This particular being knew what power they possessed and even captured the Ruinous Tablets. Yet he respect their wish to not follow his whim? No one has ever genuinely done such an act.
The remaining three Treasures decided to follow Orion and Roc from a distance. All to observe the archivist to truly understand his character. It leads to the trio to deem Orion Pax as their champion.
They weren't the only ones to have an eye on him. By sheer accident, Orion had garner the intrigue of the Djinn Pokemon Hoopa. The Mythical stumble upon the two travelers and began to watch them with sheer curiosity.
Hoopa planned to whisk away an asleep Orion to its pocket dimension like everything that garner its interest. Things don't go to plan when the remaining three Treasures decide to approach the mech at the same time. It leads to a clash between all four Pokemon.
Orion nor Roc barely had any time to react when Hoopa warped the archivist to a random location with it's rings. Where to? Jasper Nevada. Yup Earth back in his universe specifically between Con Job and Convoy. Of course he doesn't know that. The only companions the archivist are his Pokemon at the moment.
Orion sends out Vos to scout the wasteland and what he found will shake him to his core. An offline Vehicon drone, an actual Cybertronian. Orion manages to get them back online and the bot introduces himself as Steve.
Just like the archivist, his memories are a bit skewed since the processor took some damage. How? Well Steve thinks he's a NAIL(non aligned bot) who been a Decepticon war prisoner. It's technically not a lie when you consider how Buckethead treats his soldiers.
Thus Orion Pax learned what had happen while he been gone. A massive civil war that expand across the cosmos, his planet now dead but also any possible way to recover all those lost memories is impossible. Something both these factions have brought here.
Orion felt ill upon hearing all of it that he needed some time halfway through the explanation to process the info before Steve could continue. Impact would've been worse if it weren't for his memory problem. At the start, the two try to get their bearings. Basically assess the situation and where to go from there.
Both bots stay together as their chances would be better(Orion also missed seeing another one of his (near extinct) species.) It doesn't take long for the war to find them. Throughout this point onward, Orion's group is neutral.
Not aligned with either Autobots or Decepticons. Orion just wants to find answers and choose his own path. His goal later changes when it becomes apparent that he wasn't the only one who ended up here. The other three Treasures of Ruin and Hoopa were following close behind.
Now Orion must catch all four Pokemon before they wrought ruin on Earth. That means hacking into the Pokeball capture limit as he can't get away with it here like with Crimson. I will say Hoopa is gonna cause trouble for everyone while it's free.
Steve follows the archivist at first out of survival. He remembers every time he gone offline and it is a traumatizing experience to put it lightly. Although their partnership does evolve into genuine friendship to Endura Amica. Endura Amica can be considered brotherhood or closest friends in simple terms.
I ain't leaving Roc behind either. Although it's gonna take some time for him to reach Orion as not only does he need help from a Pokemon who can travel dimensions but also pinpoint the location. Think needle in a massive haystack.
Now our heroes will be major points of interest to three particular groups. The Autobots, Decepticons and MECH. Latter is gonna be a much bigger threat as Airachnid will have more involvement with said organization. Steadily twisting it into something of her preference.
Now you guys are probably wondering, if Orion Pax and Optimus Prime are the same person, then whose leading the Autobots? It's still Optimus. To wield the Matrix of Leadership, any detrimental impurities in a potential Prime must be purged. One individual has now become two with the other half casted away.
You can say the Orion Pax three parter and how alien the Matrix of Leadership is spurred on the idea. Our archivist not gonna have a good time meeting Optimus Prime. Someone might get punched in the face with this exchange. It definitely sucks because Team Prime is the ones who find Orion's group first.
They don't stay for long when it became clear the Autobots wanted their help in this war. Something the archivist quickly refuses as he wouldn't dare bring his companions into such madness. Orion's groups leave the Autobot base through the ground bridge when no one is looking.
The bots will try to find them but some under different reasons than to keep a watchful eye. Ratchet wants to understand what the Pits is going on. If the young mech really was Orion Pax then who exactly been leading them? Did the Matrix toss out his spark and let someone else take control?
Optimus Prime just wants answers. He had no complete memories of his previous life as Orion Pax. Only fragments that never felt like his own. To encounter this smaller doppelganger meant a lot more been involved in him becoming Prime. And the Matrix of Leadership seems burn around this Blackbox. Why did it feel so much like rage?
Jack(mostly him), Miko and Raf are on the curious side. They want to know more about this younger version of the Autobot Leader. What's the connection between them? And those strange creatures Orion carries around with him.
It takes much longer to leave when the archivist's group comes across the Decepticons. Megatron already held suspicion about his former friend and close brother. Orion Pax sent that mindset into overdrive.
This is the archivist he knew but one who didn't align with the late High Council. An Orion Pax whose optics were truly open and experienced actual freedom. Someone who was once a memory that now shone even brighter than before.
Megatron refuses to let Orion Pax go. If he doesn't want to participate in the war then the Decepticon leader will accept that. The archivist is meant to become a bird inside a gilded cage either way. By his side as the warlord brings the universe to it's knees.
Orion's companions will have temporary safety as Megatron could use them to keep the young mech in place if need be. You can bet a certain Mythical didn't like that idea with the other three Legendaries soon agreeing. Orion is also Starscream's biggest chance to get rid of Megatron.
An actual weakness that he can exploit after so long. Though the second in command will have to tread carefully around Orion's Pokemon. It's more than just them that'll interfere with the seeker's grand scheme.
Shockwave alongside the Predacons will make an earlier appearance. Especially considering the Pokemon now in their universe are not to be tricked with. There is guaranteed Cybertronian vs Pocket Monsters conflict.
Whether it's Orion's team who have gone toe to toe against Legendaries like the Treasures of Ruin. Or those very Pokemon and Hoopa known for power so incredible that they can be considered gods. Megatron is gonna have some real competition for sure.
For Rescue Bots, I have some ideas on how things can play out there. It does involve ground bridge hijacking and the group hiding out in Griffin Rock. Things are definitely untouched by the massive war there than back on the mainland.
Orion's group would fit in when you consider all the shit that happens at Griffin Rock. Plus Team Rescue Bots can understand their entire situation better. Perfect for a break, self reflection and a potential clash with one of the Ruinous Treasures.
No one is gonna get too comfy as serious shit will go down in Griffin Rock. Better hope it isn't a literal beady eyed flaming goldfish with flames hot enough to turn sand and rock into a lava swimming pool. Oh can't forget the possibility of accidentally running into Optimus or Bumblebee there.
The field has been now sent. Champions to the divine who were cut from the same cloth are finally in play. One blessed with ancient leadership through a god of life now forgotten. The other sought out by living ruinous forces and an all powerful djinn's greed.
Question is will Orion truly be a herald of ruin? Or can he master the trials before him to prevent untold destruction? The actions he take and the bonds he shares with others shall help determine such fate.
I hope I was able to properly convey the AU here. Compiling both parts together would have been way too long in my opinion. Plus I wanted to mess around with the NAIL/Neutral idea than just Orion Pax as there will be more of these unused elements in other writing.
That's it for now! Until next folks, I'll see you at the crossroads in Paldea. Transform and roll out! Here's the Pokemon mentioned in order.

Herald of Ruin
Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I made a post here. Tumblr isn't exactly making things easy especially because I finally gotten asks after so long. And guess who got a glitch which makes it impossible to edit said asks much less one that still hasn't been solved in days?
Nevermind the details although since that isn't the focus. I got plagued with a new AU idea which wouldn't leave me alone. Thus this particular post.
We all know about Optimus Prime. The heroic leader of the Autobots, a kind and gentle mech who battles those that dare threaten the peace. Yet one part of him we really see is his humble origin as Orion Pax. The bot before the war truly war began.
In multiple iterations, Orion is depicted as a dock worker, a miner, or for this AU Prime's archivist version. What do I have in store for him? Let's begin. (Part 2 can be found here.)
Orion Pax didn't exactly know where he was. It definitely ain't Cybertron from the vibrant greenery, bright blue sky and the peculiar fauna that roamed around him. An organic world instead of metal.
His memory core being a massive mess didn't help either. Orion could access some datas like who he is, where he came from, his function, and even a few individuals but everything else is engulfed by errors. All the archivist could do at the moment was walk.
Thus Orion Pax took his first steps into this strange colorful world. A directionless path past red cliffs, small pools of water, and the various wildlife that watched from a distance in curiosity. It all led to a peculiar metallic emblem embedded in the one such cliff.
A large vault that bear an eerie vibrant purple symbol that glowed as if reacting to him. Without word, Orion Pax approach the strange landmark. His vision flashing constantly to a dark abyss that held a faint blue light before his outstretched servo.
Time began to stretch into constant flashes until contact been made. Orion Pax barely blinked before he found himself on the ground back to the colorful world around him. And it didn't take long to see amber eyes peer down his optics.
Narrow gaze full of skeptical curiosity in what embodies a pure ancient grudge woven in wooden tablets decorated by dead leaves. The kind which had Orion remembering a phrase hidden by broken processor. Knowledge is power. A treasure that can bring peace...
Or RuIn.
Yup. We are delving into the world of Pokemon as Orion Pax just encounter the Ruinous Tablets: Wo-Chien. In Scarlet and Violet, there are four unique seals scattered across the region. These contain the Treasures of Ruin, powerful Pokemon that brought disaster onto Paldea long long ago.
Wo-Chien is the wooden tablets used by a grudge filled scribe to write the deeds of a corrupt king. The Pokemon doesn't attack Orion for one sheer reason: curiosity. It never seen anything like the archivist before.
The potential of untold knowledge leads to an unspoken alliance between the two. Something which later evolves into a powerful bond. Orion names the Wo-Chien 'Blackbox'. (Black boxes are devices that record and contain important data.)
It doesn't take long until the two come across a Pokemon Trainer named Roc. (This trainer fills the main character role for Scarlet/Violet.) After a misunderstanding which involves a language barrier and mistaking a Cybertronian for a Pokemon, Orion Pax's path is laid.
Travel the Paldea region alongside Roc, maybe even help him on his journey. By doing this he could piece together the answers to what led him here and maybe get back home. For now Orion learns about this strange new world.
Travelling across Paldea is gonna require a mix of alt mode, holoform and alternate fuel sources. Orion's alt mode is gonna be a cargo truck since my headcanon height for him is 19 ft. As for alternate fuel, it takes the forms of Tera Shards.
These shards are crystallized energy only found in the Paldea region and responsible for a phenomenon known as Terastallization. Roc made a desperate attempt to save a energy drained Orion by having him consume a Dark Tera Shard. These items become vital for the Cybertronian until he can fully perfect a recipe for Synthetic Energon. Success varies.
For Pokemon, Orion only catches those who wish to join him unless a situation calls for it. Like the safety of the creature in question that leads to no other option. Otherwise Orion leaves them be. The same goes for battling as well with the exception of spars.
Our archivist will have a team like any other trainer and I'll be going over the main ones. His signature team basically. Let's start with Orion's first Pokemon.
Blackbox: Wo-Chien
Type: Dark/Grass Nature: Serious Tera: Dark
Ability: Tablets of Ruin- reduce the ATK of all other Pokemon on the field.
Moves: Growth, Ruination, Giga Drain, Dark Pulse
This grumpy book snail of a Wo-Chien prefers to quietly read and nap in peace. He's not above using his ability to intimidate someone if irritated enough. Blackbox isn't fully heartless though as he cares for Orion alongside his close companions in subtle ways. Harm them and this Wo-Chien will drain those offenders dry.
Purrlee: Purugly
Type: Normal Nature: Jolly Tera: Ground
Ability: Defiant - Boosts Attack when stats lowered.
Moves: Play Rough, Hone Claws, Dig, Bulldoze
Orion's second Pokemon, this Tiger Cat is surprisingly very friendly, snuggly and energetic despite the species. She was abandoned by her former Trainer after evolving from Glameow. Purrlee has a tendency to bowl over others for surprise nuzzles. No one stops her though, not even Blackbox.
Vos: Gligar
Type: Ground/Flying Nature: Impish Tera: Poison
Ability: Hyper Cutter- Prevents Attack from lowering
Moves: Cross Poison, Swords Dance, Bulldoze, Fire Fang
A wild glutton who serves as Orion's third Pokemon. He joined the team back when he was a Gligar that gotten lost from his group and slept in the archivist's cabin. Vos' name is coined from a lost memory that the Pokemon had accidentally triggered. He loves sleeping in Orion's cabin or hang off him like a perch.
Shard: Quaquaval *Shiny
Type: Water/Fighting Nature:Timid Tera: Ice
Ability: Moxie- boosts Attack for each Pokemon they defeat
Moves: Aqua Step, Ice Spinner, Counter, Hurricane
Orion's fourth Pokemon is a shy dancer who wishes to perfect her craft. Shard started as a very timid Quaxly who evolves over the span of the adventure. The dual type has gain more confidence upon becoming a Quaquaval but still hides behind Orion if spooked.
Noctis: Grimmsnarl
Type: Dark/Fairy Nature: Naughty Tera: Fairy
Ability: Pickpocket - Steals an item if physically attacked
Moves: Spirit Break, Play Rough, Drain Punch, Crunch
A loyal yet mischievous powerhouse that became Orion's fifth Pokemon. He started as a self destructive chaotic Morgrem who absolutely loathe the archivist until one fateful incident led to Noctis not only evolving into Grimmsnarl but try to better himself. The dual type still pull pranks, thankfully these aren't as dangerous like back then.
Vector Prime: Steelix *Can Mega Evolve
Type: Steel/Ground Nature: Gentle Tera: Steel
Ability: Sturdy - Cannot be knocked out with 1 hit KOs
Moves: Dragon Dance, Iron Tail, Psychic Fangs, Metal Burst
A mysterious Pokemon that can sense space-time anomalies serves as Orion's sixth Pokemon. Vector is a grandfatherly soul who tends to dote on everyone and provide comfort or wisdom if needed. His name stems from a triggered memory like Vos. Vector can mega evolve with the Steelixite Orion earned if need be.
Crimson: Koraidon
Type: Dragon/Fighting Nature: Hasty Tera: Dragon
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse -Turns the sunlight harsh when entering battle. The ancient energy thrumming through this Pokemon boosts it's Attack in harsh sunlight.
Moves: Collision Course, Iron Head, Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw
A hyperactive and affectionate Legendary that is Orion's emotional support Pokemon. He was entrusted to the archivist by Professor Sada as a Ride Pokemon, although she's unaware of him not being human. Crimson spends most his time munching on sandwiches and making others laugh than battling. Doesn't mean the Koraidon is unable to curb stomp those who wish to cause trouble.
I can't forget about Orion's human companion. Roc is a 23 year old trainer who tends to be quite carefree but also equally reckless. He aspires to be a Frontier Brain and run his own facility. To do so, he must compete in the Battle Frontier which will pit him against trainers who can match even Pokemon League champions in skill or strength.
Roc explores various regions to gain experience that could aid in his quest. He accidentally mistook Orion for a Pokemon on their first meeting and it took Blackbox stealing the man's Rotomphone to stop the fight from escalating. (There's a language barrier which can be resolved by the data inside the device.)
Roc is an enabler when it comes to Orion. From the limited info he got out of the bot's fragmented memory, the young man felt angry about how his new friend lived back on Cybertron. Something Roc decides to rectify by giving Orion a chance to experience life.
It does put a dent in his wallet but the price is worth it when the archivist gets to attend a carnival or read whatever book he wants. Orion tries to pay him back however Roc usually refuses. The time he doesn't is by asking to learn stuff from the bot in exchange.
Such things consist of reading/writing/understanding Cybertronian, history and other subjects on the planet that isn't functionalism. Roc's penmanship definitely approved upon trying to write Orion's language. He did roll his eyes when the bot mistook his handwriting for 'clocker' scratch. (Cybertronian Chicken)
I will be drawing Roc. For holoform design, either design my own or use the TFA version. Orion Pax is participating in all the events of the main Scarlet/Violet game and Teal Mask/Indigo Disk DLC alongside my OC except for the Pokemon League. Now this is the first half of my AU explanation.
The second will delve into the Transformers side and why it's called 'Herald of Ruin'. Do know that Orion Pax is gonna be quite different from his canon counterpart throughout this. I will drive a wedge between them and see how the character can molded.
That's all I got for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Paldea. Now transform and roll out! Here's a Trainer Card that I made on Pokecharms.com for Orion Pax and Crimson(Koraidon).

Hybrids: Cybertronian
A ramble stirred from insomnia, curiosity and a thought that has been stuck in my head for DAYS. If the title wasn't a clue then it's about potential hybrids involving our favorite extraterrestrial robots from the Transformers franchise. This will include possible creation methods outside the stereotypical pregnancy as I prefer variety and some people are uncomfortable about it too.
For who is chosen, basically any non-humans mentioned from posts here or my main blog. Posts in question: FEOCP, Glamorous Mishaps. Let's begin.
Deku Scrub
Let's start with a LoZ race rarely utilized as an civilization, much less expanded on in concept than just the normal enemy stereotype. A creation of a hybrid would be a Spark energy charged seed or Cybertronian metal engulf in magically charged Deku leaves. These options stemming from Deku Scrubs being plant like beings.
Both seedlings are can planted underground or put in an incubator. Like plants, they develop quite quickly if given enough sunlight and water. The Sparkling will emerge from a fully grown Deku Flower. It serves a tool for protection passed down by their botanical parent.
The youngling can use these flowers as a bunker to avoid harm until they're fully grown. Deku Flowers from hybrids are VERY durable, non-flammable, and still able to grow even when it's respective bitlit had matured. It's an uncommon tradition that these flora are handed down through generations or given to a potential sparkmate as part of a Conjunx ritual.
Hybrids mature at a similar rate to humans but can live for a very very VERY long time. No matter the frame type, they tend to reach staggering sizes thanks to their symbiotic halves. How big? Those with a Minicon parent can disguise themselves as a medium sized tree while a cityformer can mimic an entire large forest!
Every Deku Cybertronian hybrid are half plant and machine with both sides in a symbiotic relationship. They can consist of a normal Transformer diet or choose to nourish themselves via photosynthesis plus water. Hybrids are most likely to be born with chlorokinesis(ability to control plants), magic potential, and on rare occasions both.
Deku Cybertronian can disguise themselves as plants with the usual option being trees or large flora such as bushes. Although they're often mistaken for botanical cryptids like dryads. It's advised to be nice to nature unless you want to piss off these particular hybrids.
When it comes to their EM fields, many describe as being around nature. These feelings can range from frolicking in a peaceful meadow to getting destroyed by a tornado. Even non-Cybertronian races such as humans can feel it!
Yaoguai
Next up are a species that originate from Chinese mythology. A hybrid can be created through various means but the most common is the charm method. Objects charged with their respective parents energy that 'hatch' over time or an immediate creation of a newspark.
Charms can come in different forms but must contain an element from both creators. Yaoguai Cybertronian hybrids tend to be Triple Changers with a beast form and beast like traits that varies depending on their supernatural parent. These include: rabbits, eastern dragons, Qilin(chimeric/draconic horse), skeleton, spider, ogre, etc. For traits: scales, fur, feathers, etc.
Hybrids tend to be born with an orientation towards magic. This can range into any branch of the mystical arts that becomes noticeable as Sparklings mature. A hybrid might be born with element manipulation specifically water, fire, metal, earth or wind depending on the yaoguai parent.
Yaoguai Cybertronian mature at different rates between individuals. Some are on the same level as humans or take 50-100 years. The maturation factor is random.
Hybrids can subsist on a Cybertronian diet, their yaoguai parent's diet or even human food. Caution is advised if the other half comes from vampiric/cannibalistic species like jiangshi. Food therapy is required for these particular hybrids to avoid endangering others through hunger.
Yaoguai Cybertronians can live for a very long time with spirit types being ageless. They share their supernatural parent's weakness but it's only half effective no matter the species. A harmonious heritage that embodies the mystical and mechanical.
Yaoguai Cybertronian's EM field tend to be quite mixed but also share a magic like feel. How these are read by others depend on the element one possesses. Fire= warm to burning, Water= cool to drenched/freezing, wind= breeze to a intense storm, metal= firm to crushingly heavy, and earth = gentle to an seismic quake.
Data Virus
Moving from magic to technological here. Hybrids are born through a 'cobble', a mesh between Cybertronian metal and virus coding. A newspark develops in a special incubator that steadily feeds data into the cobble.
This is to protect anything technological without virus protection from having their systems crashed. Up to 3-6 Sparklings emerge between 1-2 weeks depending on how much data is fed into the cobble. These hybrids are kept in a special containment for a few days as their corruptive nature needs time to stabilize.
Newsparks can't crash their respective Cybertronian parent. An adaptation said to be crafted during incubation inside the cobble. Some hybrids bear various visible features or traits depending on their virus parent.
Virus Cybertronian are born with different levels of datakinesis and data corruption. It's vital to have powerful debugging programs alongside virus protection to properly handle young hybrids. Maturation for the species is 20-25 years. This is due to the virus carefully developing, refining and melding the mechanical half to increase survival.
Hybrids are essentially ageless but quite mellow with those around them. Virus Cybertronians can travel through data networks and often make temporary homes during long travels. If one is staying in your computer then show common courtesy as they feed on errors or other viruses.
Hybrids can live on a Cybertronian diet but usually prefer harmful data. Unique Triple Changers that are able to create their own secondary alt mode. These special modes always suit a Virus Cybertronian's being as a whole. When it comes to imagination, these hybrids go beyond.
EM fields from these Virus Cybertronians can be described as intense. Any shared with non-hybrids or respective family are water down a bit. This is because their EM fields are strong enough to make the receiver have constant errors to even a temporary system reboot! Yikes!
And that's it for now! Until next time folks, Transform and Roll Out!

Writing Challenge #3
Consider this a bit of an intervention for creativity's sake. Okay folks! We got another challenge which focuses on our favorite series about half ghost heroes: Danny Phantom.
To Explore Uncharted Dimensions
Here are the rules.
Must be a crossover specifically with a fandom rarely utilized alongside Danny Phantom. These fandoms are prohibited: DC/DCU, MCU(lesser known series like Ghost Rider are available), MHA, How To Train Your Dragon, Rise of the Guardians, Nicktoons Unite.
Some potential ideas: Transformers, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, Hellsing, Persona, A Hat In Time.
Any fandoms used must be present. This can range from characters talking about/exploring their respective worlds, teaming up, etc. Don't let Danny or associated characters stumble around without proper interaction to this new environment/situation.
No species swap. There have been many times a character was changed upon just ENTERING and reverting the transformation becomes the entire focus. Danny is the usual victim too. Everyone stays as they are! Temporary power ups like the Boo Mushroom can be used.
Comics, songfics, and poetry count to. A story must be present no matter what you write. Even if its crack or crack taken seriously!
That's all the rules. Everything else is up to you! That's it for now! Until next time folks, I'm going ghost!

Fatal Error Of Cybertronian Proportions Shenanigans
Thank @agentsquirrelsgotrobots for one idea involving Megatron from the previous post's comments. Anyway this post is basically shenanigans Fatal Error!Reader gets into with both factions. The two will be separated so here you go.
How the search for Fatal Error!Reader became vital
On a particular accident, known as the Deus Ex Machina event, a clash between Autobot Arcee, Decepticon Soundwave and the living virus resulted in another burst of data mayhem. Instead of just crashing both fighters' systems, two life signals came back online.
An investigation would lead to a monumental discovery. Skyquake and Cliffjumper had come back online fully restored. The only evidence that is Fatal Error!Reader's doing were their optics reflected the virus' eyes alongside crack like streaks of crimson energy across their frames.
Both were quarantined for any signs of harmful code or contaminants but tests came out that Cliffjumper and Skyquake were completely uncompromised. These results were enough to render Fatal Error!Reader's capture high protocol.
A chance to revive Cybertron has emerged.
Nemesis
Despite being tethered to Optimus Prime/Oribot, Reader actually got caught by the Decepticons' first before said incident. An accidental emergence from the computer in the medical ward and the discovery that frequencies at a particular wavelength could disorient them led to their temporary capture. They escape once Shockwave/Beefcake.exe arrived on scene, unaware of Wheeljack/Dyna-mite following him.
Current crew: Megatron/Buckethead, Starscream/DramaQueen, Soundwave/SlenderousBootleg, Lazerbeak/Twitter, Skyquake/AirDoge, Knockout/Dr.Twink, and Breakdown/NurseTwunk.
Fatal Error!Reader is kept in an 5m x 5m enclosure cut off by any internet and the Nemesis' systems/modules all together. It's advised to follow the rules for any visitation.
Shenanigans
Living virus carries stuff via pocket space in their void like stomach. This includes four cans of pepper spray. Such properties came aware when Megatron got pepper sprayed in the optics(first 3) and the mouth(last one) on four separate visits. All cans were confiscated.
Check-ups = Maximum sass. These are the only procedures Reader tolerates as any violent experimentation is met with systems being crashed and unconscious bots need vigorous debugging than just reactivation. Banter? Completely expected.
Fatal Error!Reader: Hello Dr. Twink. Can you ask Buckethead why he's so interested in collecting Creepypasta? Man already got a Cyber Slenderman and a rogue Spider Queen.
Knockout: I don't know what the frag you're talking about but why does all of it feel accurate.
Fatal Error!Reader: :3 Tell Nurse Twunk I said hi.
Knockout:... I'll tell Breakdown.
Starscream's attempt at intimidation leads to impromptu therapy. Reader easily sees through him and addresses the issue. They got standards. Any scratches left on him are to keep a facade that both despise each other when it's actually a protective claim.
Reader plans to tear this war apart from the inside. Why not break the chain of command and instill distrust amongst the Decepticons involving their leader. Buckethead is clearly on jealousy fueled vengeance than just space crack. That and the fucker keeps interrupting their naps. Hedgehog viruses are nocturnal too! >:(
Reader understands and but also speaks in 'monitor' much to Soundwave's enjoyment. (Their eyes act similar to a screen so they can display stuff from simple emojis to video clips.) Both gossip like old ladies at the hair salon with images much to everyone's confusion.
Fatal Error!Reader: 👋🫵👀👽📽️❔
Soundwave: 🙂👍. 👽📽️👏
Skyquake: What's going on???
Skyquake is the only Decepticon not allowed near Fatal Error!Reader without supervision. Other than potential side effects, there's a risk of dwindling loyalty. Lord Megatron didn't resurrect him. This sentient virus did and so many questions rattle his processor.
Shockwave only had five minutes to talk with Reader, enough to establish his nickname but not as a potential friend. (Current list: Knockout, Breakdown, Soundwave, Starscream, Skyquake and Lazerbeak.) Wheeljack went buck wild which allowed Reader to flee by possessing Shockwave.
They left the scientist's body once a console could be reached. Shockwave creates the Predacons much earlier and install a special virus blocker to prevent any possession attempt. The effects of shadowplay post 'Fatal Takeover' feels loose now.
Autobot Base
The failed attempt at crashing Optimus Prime's render Fatal Error!Reader unconscious by the backlash. He took them back to base and shot down any chance at scrutiny from his comrades. Even when the bind on the bot's Spark became known.
Optimus: During the attempt at crashing my system, I somehow felt their emotions. They were scared, stressed and confused. Wouldn't you feel the same if hunted down like an animal?
Fatal Error!Reader stays in Optimus' habsuite thanks to the 'Spark Bind' as 20 ft is the maximum range they can be apart. Their bed is a nest of blankets and pillows. More open to conversation but will hide in Optimus' data pad for a quick nap.
Wheeljack becomes a more permanent member after bringing Ultra Magnus/Thor into the mix. Smokescreen/Smokey joins a bit later. June/Junebug joins to help take Fatal Error!Reader's vitals while Agent Fowler/SuperSpy limits any exposure of the living virus.
Shenanigans
Bickering matches between Ratchet/DrTsundere and Reader are constant. They understand how serious being a medic is but he takes care of himself less than Optimus. Although Ratchet doesn't get dragged to 'recharge' as much unlike the Autobot Leader.
Cliffjumper/BigHorn keeps the peace between Arcee/Scully and Reader when Jack/Mulder isn't around. The femme is quite skeptical about the trusting living virus at the start. Even if they did bring back Cliffjumper more properly.
Optimus Prime? Nah. Optimus Perch. The amount of times and ways Fatal Error!Reader clings on him is vast. Atop his head like a demented gargoyle? Check. Koala carry? Ratchet compared them to a Sparkling and got a middle finger in return. On his shoulder parrot style? Yup but don't offer them a cracker as they bite.
Jam sessions with Miko/Rockstar and Raf/Einstein. Reader sorta jinxed themselves into joining with a wager. If the two could make a song that can effectively use their 'terrible' voice then they'll willingly join jam sessions for a year. Don't underestimate determined youth.
Fatal Error!Reader: *sees video* What the fuck????
Optimus: Language and great job. This sounds similar to a genre back on Cybertron.
Miko: Apparently Raf has some mad skills in audio adjusting. Plus we figured you would want to do the electric and rock combo later.
Raf: We can't forget Bumblebee/Honeybee! He gave us the 'opposition' to make it work! *Bumblebee puffs his chest in pride*
Reader the Fatal Fixer Upper. They tend to fix a lot of damage around the base. Whether it be Bulkhead/BigMan normal clumsiness, Wheeljack's inventions exploding, basic infrastructure issues and lack of decor. Lively details bring morale!
Sharing sharing sharing. The sentient virus teaches Optimus various stuff once it became apparent he was once an archivist. History, videogames + lore, various novel genres, mythology, music and many others. Optimus happily shares his culture in return.
Defecting Megatron's army bit by bit. Reader doesn't want to offline any of their potential friends. They at least get them to become neutral to both factions. Entire war is pointless if the species is dead or a new tyrant reigns over everyone. Hopefully they see that.
And that's it! I'll be doing the other two options on their own separate posts. Until next folks, Transform and Roll Out!

Insomnia was being a bitch last night and kept me up. So here's an idea for a self insert that those in the Creepypasta's Sonic Exe section would like.
Self Insert where Reader is transported into a different series, knowledge may vary, and stuck in the Sonic form of Fatal Error.
This fucker right here! Tetrabrachial sadistic computer virus who wears the body of Sonic 3's blue blur and made his debut in Friday Night Funkin.
Tumblr media
Yup. Poor Reader is gonna be stuck looking like a 7 ft twisted hedgehog monster with the voice of a S.A.M generator. They hate it especially when the issue lands them in other people's radar. And Reader is gonna be a snarky bitch about it.
This is a free prompt so anyone can try their own take. Here's some of my ideas.
Fatal Error of Cybertronian Proportions
Yup. Kicking things off with Transformers specifically Prime as I need to rewatch Bayverse.
Fatal Error!Reader manifest in Memorial High School's computer classroom at the dead of night. A shared fright with the school janitor leads to an accidental county wide internet crash. This includes two particular Cybertronian bases nearby.
Autobots and Decepticons look into the source of the crash. Knockout beats the Autobot opposition to the punch in finding the cause. Unfortunately for him, Reader shares how lethal a sentient computer virus can be and crashes his system(don't worry he recovers). A wild goose chase ensues as both sides try to catch Reader.
This continues until an encounter with Optimus Prime goes wrong. An attempt to crash his systems is to met with resistance by the Matrix of Leadership. It results in Reader and Optimus being tethered to their respective core. Neither can be too far from the other unless they wish to get snap back together like a rubber band. Or if one dies so will the other.
Now Team Prime has to break the data bond while the Decepticons continue to hunt down Reader. Oh and their four armed companion is a complete snarky smartass about the whole thing. Good luck with being their guardian Optimus.
Ratchet: Why are you always smiling? It looks haunting.
Fatal Error!Reader: Similar to your metallic ass with that control console, my face's stuck. Now let me sleep ye giant bucket of bitchy bolts.
Optimus: Please behave the both of you.
Fatal Error!Reader: Tell that to the bucket headed yandere with a stalking kink. Your former friend clearly escape the funny farm and needs to take his Xanax.
Optimus: *google searches the medicine and strange term* I am very concerned about your opinion of Megatron.
Impossible Curse Statistics
For this scenario, we're diving into the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen specifically five years before the show's events.
Fatal Error!Reader manifests inside Yuji's home through the power lines. The ten year child is accidentally spooked by the hedgehog like virus at first. Well, until Yuji sees how concerned the 'scary oni' is about his living conditions.
Fatal Error!Reader: Um...where are your parents??? Folks usually come down swinging with a bat by now if their kids in danger.
Yuji: My parents passed away some time ago and Oji-san is hospitalized.
Fatal Error!Reader: ... seriously? That's not only depressing but very morally questionable on why someone would leave a child all alone. Okay kid, guess I'm your caretaker now.
Yuji is taken in and raised by hedgehog shaped virus. His fate changing as Reader bound themselves to him through a pseudo Binding Contract. They protect each other whether it be malicious hackers to dangerous curses.
Life has been good until a certain cursed finger comes into play. Now Reader has to defend Yuji from evil trying to bring the King of Curses back to his full power. At the same time, dodge a weakened Sukuna who has too much interest in the virus and the Jujutsu Sorcerers who want to ensare both.
Neither members of this strange found family are gonna take this lying down. There's a reason why you don't mess with a virus. One wrong is enough for a fatal error to occur. And Reader will be happy to teach that lesson personally.
Glitch In The Relics
We're diving into the world of Knack for this last one.
Fatal Error!Reader emerges from within one of Viktor's security robots during his issued challenge against the relic bound golem. Their appearance causes panic amongst the many attendants except for our main characters. Reader's obliviousness and absolute confusion of their surroundings is enough to have Doctor Vargas protect them.
To prove they aren't a threat, the virus reluctantly joins the expedition. A kinship forms between Reader and Knack about being 'monsters'. Can't forget their habit of accidentally breaking stuff. Well crash in the former's case.
Fatal Error!Reader: *stares at Ryder's unresponsive car* Oops.
Ryder: At least it wasn't my plane.
Knack: *slips and accidentally leaves a large gash on said plane*
Fatal Error!Reader: Congratulations, you just jinxed yourself.
Other than the shared mishaps, both learn and grow as a simple expedition evolves into a grand adventure. A snarky virus once human become comfortable about their strange predicament. Meanwhile Knack gains self confidence about himself alongside Reader and co.
Sometimes all you need is a friend to help find your place in the world. For a certain virus and relic golem, that's the way they like it. Even if a lot of stuff gets smashed in the progress.
That's it for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you later. Before I go, enjoy this song I been listening to.

Writing Challenge #2
Another challenge for you folks! Now this is a bit different from the Madness SCP one! The second challenge is...
Robots and Space Orcs
This stems from how much content in canon and fanon Transformers that portrays humans as 'helpless squishies'. We all know we're bloody space orcs so why not show it? You can do whatever you want but there are specific rules to follow!
The human presence is IMPORTANT. Whether it be someone in the official cast, OCs or even self insert, they must be present alongside active. We can't forget the bots either cause you can't have an action without a reaction!
The focus has be something that humans can do or survive but brings surprise, shock, and horror to any Cybertronian/Terran witnesses. Examples: Scars specifically from lethal incidents, unusual talents such as contortion to sword eating, eccentric personality traits!
Comics, song fics and even poetry count but they must have a story to it! Whether it be crack, serious or any genre of choice! A tale is needed.
Those are all the main rules. Everything else is up to you guys! That's it for now! Until next time folks, Transform and Roll Out!!

MFN/Transformers: Reader
I noticed my post yesterday is blowing up up why not go further into the concept? Like I said before, THERE ARE NO SPOILERS. Anything I mention from the game is info established from the demo, trailers, steam page and synopsis.
Let's get started, shall we?
Reader is going to be gender neutral or preferred gender. They're very close to Optimus Prime but you won't be seeing any romance in the main story. If I do a pairing then it'll be in a side story. There will be lighthearted teasing for both Reader and Optimus but everything remains platonic.
You can't tell me none of Prime's fellow bots tease him about a possible interest. Especially when his sporadic visits begin to seem suspicious. As for Reader, blame Ricky. I don't think something like a possible crush or love is gonna escape his radar. Luckily the sock puppet has some tact to keep the more childlike puppets from hearing.
Now for the actual post itself:
Reader is like Mary Poppins. They have a mysterious magical connection with My Friendly Neighborhood. Any magic is imaginative and harmless to those around them. Optimus wants to explore the place? He just has to close his optics and let Reader hold his servo. When he opens them, the Autobot is now human sized.
It's much more stronger in the Neighborhood as they can subtly alter reality around them to suit their needs. The further Reader is from the place though, the weaker it will be. Weakest being only able to conjure letters for ammo. Imagination, childlike whimsy and positive emotions does help restore their magical power.
Like Mary Poppins, Reader is a kindhearted individual. Willing to help others with their problems or give them a hug if need be. Reader does have all the weapons from the game but only for protection outside the Neighborhood.
Getting clocked with metal alphabet letters at a high speed are more painful to someone not made out of cloth and felt. One good headshot is enough to induce unconscious for a human. Letter to an optic will definitely break it.
They rather not expose the puppets to any violence if possible. Should everyone need to hide then there are spots Reader made specifically for evacuation purposes. Trust me when I say they have all sorts of non-lethal ways to handle dangerous intruders. Once the aggressors are knocked out, Reader wipes their memories involving the Neighborhood, destroy the evidence, then dump the blokes far away from the place.
They also carry an umbrella to travel around since the magic needed isn't too much. Reader sometimes carry a small 'birdhouse' for Ricky to emerge from. Optimus is later given one too when he contemplates telling the truth to his companions.
For Bayverse, Knightverse and Prime, Reader allows Team Prime asylum near the Neighborhood until they have a safer place to stay. You can bet bots like Ironhide or Jazz are scolded multiple times for nearly breaking the bad language rule. No one wants Junebug to run around spreading a swear she overheard to the other puppets.
Reader is practically the 'mom friend' of the group once the secret's out. Absolutely dolting on the bots and their human companions.
'Ironhide, have you consume any Energon today? If not then go refuel.'
'Hey Bumblebee! Raf is waiting in the backyard for you with Norman and Junebug. Take a break and go play some games.'
'There you are, Mirage! Everyone is worried. Want to talk buddy?'
Overall, Reader is going to be a whimsical delight amongst the cast.
*If anyone is wondering about canon deaths like Jazz. Reader can revive them if they're brought to the Neighborhood. It does take a massive strain on them but the more intact the body is, the smaller the cost. The three main components of a Cybertronian have to be in good condition or repaired. Substitutes for those work fine as long as it matches the individual's nature. EX. Ratchet: Medical Equipment like a heart pacer for Spark Chamber. Jazz: Performance items such as a boombox.
If push comes to shove, Reader can store their soul inside a puppet but they can't leave the Neighborhood. They need to be in their actual body as these are temporary vessels that need constant magic to survive. Let me paint the image of a puppet Breakdown and Knockout staring at each other. Also they will scold Prime Optimus if he pulls that endgame stunt.*
That's it for now! Until next time folks, continue to be good neighbors to those around you. Now transform and roll out!

I got done watching SuperHorrorBro's playthrough of My Friendly Neighborhood and now got a MFN/Transformers self insert stuck in my head.
BTW, No Spoilers Here!
If anyone wants to check out My Friendly Neighborhood for themselves then don't worry! Any mentions about the game are established information whether it be teaser trailers, demos, synopsis or on the Steam page. That's it! I rather not ruin anyone's experience.
Anyway, Reader is the owner of My Friendly Neighborhood show and looks after the various puppet cast. A big whacky but happy family that the entire populace ain't aware of. The puppets are considered props and not magical since they're great at pretend.
One day, someone accidentally discovers the truth. A certain Autobot Leader we all know and love: Optimus Prime. Let's just say he accidentally shared a hiding spot with Ricky during a game of Tag. The sock puppet is a LOUD screamer.
Reader discovers him and the two come to an arrangement/agreement. They'll keep his existence a secret if the Autobot Leader does the same. He can visit but MUST follow the rules. I.E: Be helpful whenever you can, no bad language and NO VIOLENCE.
Considering My Friendly Neighborhood is a educational kid's show but observe the puppet's behavior in the demo, it's enough to believe they are equally impressionable like children. You don't want to expose a kid to something very bad such as war. It won't end well for all parties.
My Friendly Neighborhood soon becomes a sort of retreat for Optimus Prime. During visits, the Prime helps Reader whenever he can, talk to the various cast or play a game once in awhile. A nice innocent break from the horrors and night terrors wrought by war. He watches the show in private or if a companion suggested he joins them.
Optimus doesn't do this out of embarrassment but because he rather not give any leads. Reader and the puppets shouldn't be dragged in their conflict. However we all know a secret can't stay a secret for long. Man is gonna have some SERIOUS explaining to do. Especially considering the iteration in question.
Bayverse and Prime will get the worst of it. Their battles are deadlier with equally vicious threats on all sides. Knightverse is only safer from how vague the Autobots are especially to the military. G1, Animated and Cybertron have the least dangerous consequences.
Here's a saying from Judy Reene Singer: Secrets are like plants. They can stay buried deep in the earth for a long time, but eventually they'll send up shoots and give themselves away. They have to. It's their nature. Just a tiny green stem at first. Which slowly, insidiously grows taller, stronger, unfolding itself, until there it is. A big fat secret, right in front of your face; a fully bloomed flower perfumed with the scent of deception.
That's it for now! Until next time folks, continue to be good neighbors to those around you. Transform and Roll Out!
