I Have A Confession

i have a confession

I play Hogwarts Mystery. also this event has literally just been entirely of this mf, and hes also crashing my date, like DUDE WE GET IT and the thing is is that like during the when you do the task thing, i dont know the name, but literally every single one with lockhart gives you EIGHT HOURS. which means it takes up so much more energy, i literally spent my hard-earned gems just to get energy and speed up the process because oh my god i didnt want to look at his face

this is like the valentines event thing. HE IS SO OBNOXIOUS that even if i didnt know he was a fraud id STILL hate him.

i just like progression. i like doing and collecting stuff in games. (to those who havent seen the game, you get gems from completing stuff. like from learning spells or doing events and stuff.)

admittedly i think its pretty lucky i never actually ended up watching the movies cause i know i wouldve HATED him so much in film that id probably stop paying attention (which, kudos to the actor man. probably takes guts to be the role of one of the most hated characters in harry potter, with the exception of the toad)

thoughts about the end of fontaine (ACT 4)

reading this line really made me feel like it was some sort of shade, or like manipulation in a way, a way to continue to shame furina but subtly. "Those who work hard deserve gratitude and praise." As if Furina isn't working hard (although Neuvillette mentioned in like act 2 that she'd been keeping herself up late at night or something trying to figure it out)

And as if Furina wasn't there, in a way? Maybe I'm seeing way too into this and seeing stuff that isn't there

I've also noticed she's done a lot of baiting in a way? Like, so, she acts all worried about Childe to bait Paimon into saying something to 'sooth her worries'. And then immediately questions it at all while also getting an understanding of what we've found on that part.

(it might just be because I've been pretty cautious of her, and reading her lines carefully for manipulation tactics? Or any I understand anyway)

I do think Furina does have a plan, or at least an idea of what to do, but also. The Knave likely seems terrifying, someone that'll tear down through all her plans, and then after that, what does she have next? I like to think that she's scared of saying this whole grand plan, and The Knave scoffing and laughing at her, like 'that's it?' Because at the end of the day she has feelings, she doesn't know how to talk to people, and she gets hurt easily.

Admittedly, I think I see her as a bit of a child (which would make sense considering she's newer in a way? I don't know the circumstances, of course, but I'd imagine it would be hard to try to figure out what her place in all of this is, and how to interact with the people. They probably worshipped her because she was a god, but in the end I think she's very self-conscious. Not that she isn't bratty or selfish at times, or annoying, but from what I understand of her, she kind of does stuff mostly because the people expect her to? Like, she didn't prop up the idea of a duel until the people around us were being like 'ohh is she gonna fight the traveler' or something like that, I can't remember exactly, but then back in the magic show iirc, people were also like 'Furina's gonna [blah blah blah]' which pushed her to y'know. Do stuff. Not that it isn't her fault for doing it, but I think she has reasons, and is easily peer pressured.

(Also maybe I'm giving her too much credit, but if she's panicking over the prophecy publicly, how do you think the people would react? Although it would probably sooth the worries of those wondering if shes even doing anything or worried about it. Also, idk man, I see being an archon as a huge load of responsibility, so maybe I've just been giving her a lot of slack. Idk. But this is also coming from a person who doesn't actually dislike her, so.)

Basically. I do understand where people are coming from because yeah Furina can get annoying, and I'm probably reading into this wrong and she's possibly a horrible person who has no respect for others or whatever. But I'd like to think she has her own reasons, and we'll find out in the future.

Although I do realize that we haven't actually seen even a hint of Furina's power. We've seen Venti's when we were blown into the sky and shot at Dvalin in Mondstadt, technically we saw Zhongli being a huge dragon (which if that doesn't speak powerful, then idk what does), the Raiden Shogun has the thunderstorms surrounding the island, not to mention how lightning strikes are often, or the stories about her being really powerful, something to be feared (for example kazuhas story about his friend), and we saw Nahida during the samsara festival.

(This is me talking about hints in the first few acts, NOT the end)

Furina on the other hand? Nothing, nada. However we have seen Neuvillette, especially during Act 2 during the trial where he took down Childe so easily, Childe who we know how powerful he is canonically considering he has his own boss fight, and we know what number harbinger he is.

We see his power again when he pushes back the primordial water.

It's really interesting.

made up a jujutsu technique for a fic

haha havent posted in a hot minute. forgot i had this account acutally.

anyway im writing a jjk crossover, and im so stuck on Fontaine and Furina's story you can see its influenced it a lot. its not a genshin crossover though lmfao. i still have the dialogue memorized. "For the sinner, the curtain call has come."

this is also influenced by. well. MANGA SPOILERS (for like the. preparation arc whatcha ma call it? post-shibuya). but. you know. that guy who when he hits like the jackpot he gets like. basically immortal for as long as like i think the theme song lasts?? but he can like, keep triggering more of like th thingies so if hes really lucky iirc, he could keep going on and on?

(Melpomene, the innate technique where he’d put on a ‘mask’ and perform for an invisible audience. Effects vary depending on the type and/or popularity points gained. Unable to be harmed when this is in effect, however in turn, making an error such as going off script, messing up, or being boring/unsatisfying will grant him punishment.

Alternatively, if he goes off script or does an action not in the performance but making it entertaining will grant him bonus points with the audience. This can include attacks against enemies, especially with the use of cursed energy and whatever weapon he has, however messing up will of course provide consequences.

Think of it as a judgement scale but based on audience reaction. Horrible performances leave him ‘sentenced’. One of those sentences include the death sentence (more likely to be triggered by a shameful defeat, where he’s facing an opponent so overpowering that the audience isn’t happy. When it happens, the blade of a guillotine will rise above his head, and he will perform [The Curtain Call], dancing his last moments away, before finally lowering his head, bowing to the audience, and decapitating himself), the risk granting him more power then otherwise. 

When giving what could be considered a perfect performance (very rare), he will trigger [Apotheosis], automatically forming a domain named [Sinner’s Finale] with a sure-hit factor, where the opponent is on the stage, facing the judgement of the audience. 

Like all domains, if the opponent is strong enough, [Sinner’s Finale] will fail, and [technique user, im not giving away who] will get punished in their stead, triggering [The Curtain Call]. The risk of [Sinner’s Finale] however boosts him to where it is very unlikely that it’ll happen, as most strong opponents will get the idea of what conditions he needs to trigger and thus prevent him from performing a perfect performance.

He cannot use Domain Expansion otherwise however.)

The Fairy and the Angel (will kick your ass if you call them that) | Yuri on Ice x PJO Fic (Fic Rec)

summary: Yuri Plisetsky was as normal as you could get. Sure, he was soon going to be an internationally acclaimed Russian figure skater as soon as he was old enough to qualify, but other than that, he was normal. Then he found an Italian boy wearing an aviator's jacket, passed out near the local rink, and suddenly, things... changed. Well, it wasn't obvious at the time. Hell, after the kid left, with a promise to write him letters, he hadn't really been expecting anything except a close friendship and probably a lawsuit as soon as he figured out which kinda neglectful parent leaves their narcoleptic ten year old alone in an unfamiliar country. But Nico di Angelo was an enigma, who brought trouble no matter how hard he tried not to, and chaos inevitably followed. i.e Yuri and Nico are pen pals. Yuri is concerned. Nico is trying not to concern him. It is not working.

this is so underrated its insane. 20k hits (well thats still a lot of people but, HELLO?)

FOR A 240K WORD FIC???

anyway. yuri (the russian one. if you dont know how to differentiate, russian blond teen is one u. Yuri. the japanese adult black-haired guy is Yuuri.) (also hes sometimes called Yurio or Yura)

summary is self-explanatory

i honestly didnt know i needed this until now. im really enjoying reading pov yuri

ALSO. for you rick riordan fans. this includes like so many different series from the books and characters

SO FUCKING GOOD (also unique too, not just entirely canon compliant with the exception of fandom fusion)

i dont wanna say too much aghh.

just an outsider in the end. / Assassination Classroom (Fic Rec)

Summary:

"Look, I really didn't mind the fact that I died and reincarnated into Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. I didn't really mind that you gave me a hole in the heart. That was a real dick move, but I didn't complain. So god, Void, whatever, I'm sorry I punched a student. Please recall my demotion into Class E. Please, the moon literally just exploded and I don't wanna be there!"

Kuma-sensei did not belong here. He knew better than anyone else that he was just an outsider.

im not a person who often reads self-insert stuff. but. this hit me in the feels. and my eyes hurt from how much ive been crying.

and it feels really, fitting honestly? and i really appreciate this fic. go give it some love

(also there are some references to the KHR world. Katekyou Hitman Reborn if you don't know. apparently its like, timeline wise, assassination classroom ends, and THEN KHR happens, which isn't dug into because oc does not want to get into the mafia business whatsoever. you do not need knowledge of it to understand what happens because it doesn't take that much space in the fic itself, but there might be some references you dont understand that the oc will turn a blind eye that might sound weird. like. um. zombies with chains for example lmfao)

finally figured out the pattern on color thing.

went a little overkill but shh

reference although i really just copied it so i could have a base to test out stuff with. and would you look at that? easy to draw character
