If I Had To Describe This Song, It Would Be Something Like Haunting Yet Beautiful. The Strings And Drum

If I had to describe this song, it would be something like haunting yet beautiful. The strings and drum beats mixed with Gordy's vocals is a great combination for an idea for a story of the fallen angel.

I have also had Arcane on the brain lately, so at some point when listening to this, the idea of this being something a montage of Jinx is set to just kind of popped into my head. It could be used for either her relationship with Vander or Silco, maybe both. The idea that she had sort of "rebelled" and done something to cause a rift with her father.

Now, the way the rift between father and child is very different for Lucifer and Jinx, but I can imagine in some alternate universe, that both could be acquaintances at the very least.

Pretty much the theme song to TWEWY, who doesn't at least somewhat like Twister. I think if I was in charge of music for this game, I would have chosen Twister as the main theme. It's short, the original version only being about a minute longer, but it definitely feels like a song that doesn't need to go on for much longer. I should probably replay the first TWEWY at some point. Sorry, it's just a bit easier to get back into replaying Neo: TWEWY. It's not really due to length, it's just that it's a bit easier for me to get back into Neo's gameplay.

Anyways! I don't doubt if you're finding this, you may already be a fan of TWEWY, but if you aren't, I suggest giving this song a listen. You may like it, or you may not. Won't hurt to find out.

You know... sometimes even I think I come up with some strange crossover ideas. Sometimes they're pretty basic, sometimes they're a bit fleshed out. One crossover that I came up with recently is a Shin Megami Tensei/The World Ends With You crossover. It all started because I have been playing SMT V: Vengeance recently and for no reason TWEWY has been in the back of my mind. So, a crossover idea formed, not helped by some kinda similar enough looking characters.

Some may or may not see it, but Hishima Sakazuki and Yuzuru Atsuta just look kinda similar to me. It's probably the hair and glasses. I also think Shiba Miyakaze looks kinda similar enough to Lucifer's human forms in SMT 3 Nocturne. Like, he almost looks like a middle ground between his old man and child forms in Nocturne.

Does anybody else kinda see it? Am I crazy?

Anyways! Considering Angels do exist in TWEWY, just in a different way compared to in SMT, living in a higher plane of existence, a plane higher than both the UG and the RG, imagine someone like Hanekoma being an old acquaintance of Lucifer's. Or, for a more fun idea, imagine Minamimoto just hopping universes and deciding to investigate the SMT universe for the hell of it. Maybe he thinks it could help in targeting the Composer. Imagine the Demi-Fiend or Nahobino encountering Pi-Face and just the chaos that could ensue.

Going back for a second to Shiba and Lucifer, I had the crazy idea earlier of imagine Shiba being a piece of Lucifer that the Lord of Chaos had separate, for whatever reason. Or maybe in a fan crossover, it could be some variation on that idea. Maybe that piece of Lucifer did not separate willingly?

Or, maybe better idea, Minamimoto meeting Lucifer and the Lord of Chaos taking a bit of an odd liking to this chaotic math-man. Maybe he sees Sho's pursuit to usurp the Composer as similar enough to pursuit to usurp the God of Law.

Overall, it's a fun crossover to play with, with how Gods and Monsters work in SMT, and with the Higher Planes in TWEWY.

EDIT: I don't know if it was like that for everybody, but on my end, after posting, the image for Yuzuru wasn't showing up, so hopefully I fixed it

To again speak of something I think would be cool to see get an animated adaptation... I would love to see the Marvel Team-Up arc of League of Losers.

You know? This team-up!

I don't got much to say beyond I think it would be pretty cool. One could even change up some things if they so wish, like maybe Dagger dies instead of Cloak, same goes Gravity or Speedball instead of Arana.

All these characters deserve some more recognition. Well, at least the ones nobody knows or remembers. It could even explore an alternate 2099, where the legacy heroes don't exactly exist, or at least exist a bit differently, but there is Mutant 2099. He is, from what I remember, a telekinetic mutant who uses his powers to move around in ways sort of reminiscent of Spider-Man.

I don't know what I'd change beyond who dies and maybe how the League of Losers is formed, I just think it could be something fun to see adapted into animation.

So... with Marvel, particularly X-23, on the mind a bit lately and wanting to get back into my SMT V: Vengeance playthrough, I kinda got to thinking of what would her role be in an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU. Taking some inspiration from the time she was Captain Universe, maybe she could be a Nahobino? Or maybe she could be someone like Tao or Yoko? Or maybe the Tao-like or Yoko-like role could go to a different character?

I do know if I write something for an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU, I would like to do something with Thor, both versions, where it's something like Eric Masterson is SMT Thor's Knowledge. Or maybe have it be Kevin Masterson, Eric Masterson's son? I also just had the idea while typing this of maybe writing something with Andi Benton, maybe making the Mania Symbiote like Aogami while Andi is the human who bonded. Maybe I will go with that instead, maybe so that I can try writing something with Andi meeting Nico Minoru and Laura and them going on a journey similar to what the Nahobino and company do in SMTV. Or maybe I could go with a combination of these ideas? Have Andi and Laura in roles similar to Tao and Yoko while whoever I make Thor's Knowledge is the protagonist?

Another idea is having Franklin Richards as the protagonist, with Rachel Summers as the one with a kinda similar role to Tao or Yoko. This idea popped in my head when mulling over the many possibilities for an SMT/Marvel Crossover. Franklin has cosmic power in the comics, the ability to create a miniature universe, while Rachel is one of the hosts of the Phoenix Force. Obviously, for this crossover idea, I will depower Franklin a bit, and I will probably try thinking of a mythological being for him to be the Knowledge of.

So... neat idea I had for another Darksiders/League of Legends crossover. The Pale Rider ending up in Ionia, maybe in search of what is rumored to be a Grand Abomination, only to run into Kayn and Rhaast. From what I remember, the Grand Abominations are sort of like the Darkin, once living beings turned into weapons, the souls trapped and angry. Only difference is that according to Darksiders lore, Mortis, once picked up by Death in Darksiders 2, does not have the same power it once did, the soul in it weaker or something.

These things almost look like a Darkin weapon, just got slap a bit more red and black on it.

One idea for when Death meets Kayn and Rhaast is that the Pale Rider, after finding out that it's not a Grand Abomination on Runeterra, is that he attempts to help the two, somehow.

Or one idea is that he attempts to purge Rhaast's influence from Kayn. Or that he attempts to take the Darkin Scythe. If going with the latter, I doubt if Rhaast is not strong enough to immediately take over Kayn's body that he could ever take over Death’s body.

Just had this crazy thought. Kayn somehow learning just enough about some kind of soul-based magic, maybe after seeing Death use Soul-Splittter on himself, that he replicates it, only for the Rhaast to essentially get his own body while Kayn gets the other. Imagine if Ionia had both these two, the Darkin and the Shadow Assassin, running around. Maybe they wouldn't just be a terror to Ionia, but maybe all of Runeterra.

Maybe at the end of this, when Kayn and Rhaast reform together, Death erases the knowledge of Soul-Splitter from their mind, somehow.
