Been Watching Too Many Retro Shows And I Just Really Like How They Show Aliens (plus Outer Space) In

Been watching too many retro shows and I just really like how they show aliens (plus outer space) in the early 2000s. I think doing aliens and space again wouldn’t do well in this time, but who cares. A lot of inspiration from hello kitty, urusei yatsura, marvel, and zenon.

I would want my alien species to have translucent skin. It would be almost clear but is shimmery with speckles of some sort of metals. Antennas on top of their head. Their species don’t usually wear clothes, but traditional garb has a metallic sheen on it and is similar to zenon’s. 

The antennas are more for looks than survival, but they use it to communicate telepathically. They touch antennas with one another and can transfer thoughts. If the person is powerful enough, they can brainwash the other. It is not common to want to brainwash each other though.

They are a peaceful species. They are a community and never had a need to fight. Powers will be discussed later

The ice skating episode in Ranma 1/2 is one of the best. I shall talk about my spinoff’s take on it. 

While ice skating with his 3 friends, the protagonist is mocked by two pro figure skaters. The protagonist’s handsome crush and best friend stands up for him. The male pro skater recognizes him though. 

The protagonist’s friend used to be a famous hockey skater before quitting due to a concussion. The pro skaters mock them worse and even challenges the protagonist’s friend to a skating competition. With a hurt pride and wanting to stop the torment, the protagonist’s best friend agrees to it. He is now panicking because he doesn’t know another figure skater who can help him.

The protagonist feels sorry for him and agrees to help him look for someone. Again, the protagonist doesn’t know anymore else so she asks her cursed Swan friend to help out. The Swan agrees since the protagonist did help her out with the gymnastic club. It makes the protagonist jealous that she cannot help her friend in any other way.

The fight scenes and battle is a little blurry to me in this episode, but I will attempt to describe it all. The Swan and protagonist’s crush go against the two pro skaters. Without knowing it was a fighting match too, they are overwhelmed. The Swan has to do most of the leg work and fighting while the her skating partner adapts. It turns out he’s pretty flexible and agile on ice. 

In what’s supposed to be the finishing blow, the pro skaters slam the Swan into the wall and injures her whole back. Not wanting her friend dead, the protagonist switches with her in her female form. They work together to finish off the two. In the middle of the battle, the male pro skater kisses her and catches her off guard. They almost lose when the ice breaks and releases cold water. The protagonist changes into their male form and is thrown a more fitted outfit by their cousin. 

Their crush is surprised by their appearance, but brushes it off as he just needs any partner. Once they defeat the two, the female pro skater is so in love with the protagonist that she kisses them. Thrown so off guard, the protagonist tries to flee before getting interrupted by their snake rival.

Been watching Ranma 1/2 lately and I had the idea for the spinoff I made for it awhile back. I really want to talk about some episodes I really like and see how to add my own characters to it.

To recap, the protagonist is pretty neutral about their two sides. They prefer to be female and doesn’t really care when people call them. It only becomes an issue when they deliberately wanted to present themselves as female to their school and after they accidentally transform, everyone thinks they’re male.

They escape to the United States and live with their distant relatives under the disguise of a transfer student. They have a younger girl cousin and a male cousin who accidentally finds out they’re able to switch between male and female. He suggests she use her male form to go to school. She heavily refuses as she just wants to be an average girl.

On the first day of school, she only has her tribal clothes and just borrows her cousin’s clothes to blend in. The pants had to be hemmed up and the shirt is a bit too big where it had to be tucked in. 

Right before she could enter her class, a vase from the upper floor falls and she manages to only dodge the vase, not the water inside it. She changes into her male form and is introduced with a neutral nickname. 

Since she’s not fluent in English and pretty flustered from the transformation, she comes off as cool and mutely handsome. A lot of the guys don’t like her and the girls are too lovestruck. She manages to make friends with another cool and handsome guy, his sister, and a nerdy photographer who is apart of the newspaper club in extension. The photographer is trying to find the latest scoop and may have burned a few bridges for the hottest newspaper article.

On the same day, they’re challenged in PE by a jock. He’s a showoff and wants all the ladies. He’s not afraid to put down others and people he sees as weaklings like the protagonist. They go on separate tennis teams and the protagonist wipes the floor with them. They become lifelong rivals from there.

Since its still April and we dedicate this month to Danny Phantom, its time to write about the 150+ year sequel. I wanna try writing something a little weird, maybe a little dark. (im horrible at writing so here goes) It will be about Sammy and her little crush Edward 16. Something a bit reverse.

To recap, Sammy is a halfa still learning about the Human World. Edward 16 is the son of Johnny 13 and Kitty who likes to break any rule he can and vandalize the town with his best friend Shadow. 

To summarize, its Valentines Month in Amity Park and Edward has been feeling lonely. He looks at his parents and sees love (a very unhealthy version). He goes out and sees couples. He just cannot escape it. He holes himself up in the Ghost Zone for awhile, making his parents worry. In an attempt to make him happy, Kitty goes to her friend Ember and gets her to spell Sammy into loving Edward. She’s rotting in the Ghost Zone and Johnny thinks this might’ve been the wrong move.

Johnny knocks on the door to his son’s room, disregarding the obscene noises he hears behind it. Kitty is currently out for a girls night so this is his only shot of this. He hears the door creak and sees a sliver of his kid.

“Pops? You know I have someone over right now.”

“I know champ but we have to chat now.”

“Baby, I’ll be in the living room!” 

The door shuts, leaving him with his shirtless son. He cringes at the whining before taking his son downstairs.

“What is it pops? I’m really busy right now.”

“I know but hear me out. This isn’t right and I think you need to let her go home.”

“Home?! This is her home. This is our home!”

“Son, sit down. You know that girl is a halfa and you’re too busy sucking at her face to even feed her!”

“Then I’ll just give her something now-”

“No, stop it now. She’s not your pet. She needs to go back to the Human World and live her life with the other humans. You can’t keep her here.”

“You and Ma stay here! Why can’t I keep her here! I’ll feed her, give her water, and let her do what she wants!”

“Are you letting her do what she wants by keeping her stuck here?”

Edward quiets down. After a long pause of silence, he goes to the kitchen and sends Shadow to fetch his mom and Ember. 

I wrote a digimon series back in the day. I’m here to rewrite it in canon with Data Squad. When I wrote this, I made the cast very young but it doesn’t make sense as getting a government job definitely is an adult thing. The cast will be adults and have varying ages. This takes place in America and years into the future where Digimon are starting to become a mass issue again.

Neptuna is new to town who can’t seem to get along with her peers. One day she encounters fugitive BlackKudamon who escaped the Digimon War. DATS’ youngest member, Jacob is assigned to capture her. Before he could, a rabid Guilmon attacks them both. BlackKudamon protects her and Jacob isn’t able to evolve Koromon to help out. Right as he is calling his team, BlackKudamon evolves from the strong gratitude from Neptuna.

Neptuna is arrested by DATS’ Robert and Thistle. They also scold Jacob on not calling sooner at the dangerous scene. BlackKudamon escapes again, leaving Jacob feeling angry at how weak he is. Koromon gives his wisdom and calms Jacob.

While at DATS, Commander Mackenzie and Felix assess the situation and order that Neptuna be used as bait for BlackKudamon then have their minds wiped. Neptuna and BlackKudamon resist which makes the Commanders reconsider their decision. They decide to allow her to join DATS alongside Jacob and the others.

I have a brief characterization of everyone I wrote a few years back.

- Neptuna Foreman is shy, quiet girl who is cowardly. She has a fear of fighting and stressful, situations. She’s insecure in her abilities. Her best trait would be her huge empathy for others. She is perceptive of others’ feelings and sensitive to strong emotions.

- Jacob Jennings is is a very serious and quiet guy. He may come off as overly cocky but he wants to achieve greater than his seniors. He has a fear of failing. He doesn’t want to disappoint. He has an inferiority complex and doesn’t want to feel smaller than others. He is conscious of his height.

- Thistle Briggs is a happy-go-lucky girl. She tries to please everyone around her. She is very positive and tries to cheer up her team. She loves cooking and sewing despite her being super clumsy and airheaded. She is oblivious also and doesn’t notice subtle hints. She is overly affectionate and very overbearing.  

- Robert Potter is a know-it-all nerd. He is informed about everything and makes sure everyone knows it. He just wants to keep everyone safe and alive. He has trouble with trusting his coworkers. He is pretty scared of Digimon and animals despite working with them for awhile.

- Demi Flores is a sassy, reserved type of girl. She won’t accept insults or bullying. She can be very pushy with her friends and honest to a fault with them also. She doesn’t notice the harm it does to them until they tell her upfront. She can be oblivious to how popular she actually is and to others’ affections.

- Mona Lisa Clark was abused as a child and lost all emotions because of it. She doesn’t understand happiness or sadness. She feels obligated to the point of care towards Eric. She imitates an older sister figure for Eric and they end up having a brother-sister dynamic.

- Eric Dennis is a very intimidating guy. His resting face is scary to some but really he is aloof. He doesn’t care about anything. He usually gets irritated with Lisa’s antics and with her imitations. They argue like real siblings sometimes.

This is the gymnastic episode. I loved this episode from the original that I had to keep it. The Swan and the protagonist decide to team up for once instead of fighting.

When the Swan gets to her private school, she is ambushed by her good friend from the gymnastic club. In tears her friend tells her about another private school that has been sabotaging the district’s gymnastic teams. Without good funding, the gymnastic club cannot report the super rich school’s gymnastic team and is left with members sitting out the competition coming up. 

Her friend begs her to join and with great reluctance, the Swan agrees to her good friend and helps to find a third member to participate. With no other options, the Swan goes to the protagonist’s school and asks the protagonist to join their gymnastic team.

The protagonist is confused by this. They aren’t apart of a gymnastic team nor goes to the same private school, along with the fact they’re registered as a boy. The Swan waves them off and says they can make it work. Begrudgingly, the protagonist agrees to help.

The three girls meet up to train and after a tiring session, they are ambushed by the leader of the gymnastic team from the super rich private school. They manage to get her to leave temporarily, but the Swan feels there is something else more to the visit. 

On the day of the competition, the Swan’s friend mysteriously disappears with the message of being too constipated to join for the first round. The Swan ends up locked in a storage closet and got mop water on them while trying to escape. Luckily, they were able to find a vent and try to climb their way out. Unluckily, the gymnastic team’s leader found her and got her leg chained up.

With no other choice, the protagonist is left to defeat the evil ringleader and end her winning streak. The battle goes just like the anime since I cannot describe fight scenes well. In the middle of the fight, the opponent has the protagonist chained up to her friend. They both have to work together to defeat the girl, but it’s hard to fight with chains and not being coordinated. 

The protagonist’s cousin suddenly comes out and douses the two in a lot of hot water, giving the Swan enough time to get handed some sports outfit and join in for the fight. The protagonist fights on her hands to get the Swan enough time to counterattack and they occasionally switch off. In the end, they were able to stay in the ring because of the chain and get the opponent to fall to their feet.
