Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people
chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands
I need to talk about the ZZZ Team Swap fic I've been "Working" on.
Without changing their histories too much, most every character is getting changed to a new team/Role in the story, and most of the Canon teams are broken apart and separated. As of right now, I have made some selections for the canon teams, but I'm trying to be very careful with where I place people because once I publish the chapter with the character's reveal, there will be no going back, unless I want to rewrite a whole lot.
Team under the cut
~The Artful Foxes~
Zhu-Yuan: Leader of the Artful Foxes, constantly making small repayments of her debts - if only she could fill the hole faster than she had to dig it.
Qingyi: Zhu Yuan’s second in command, always wishing she could afford more tea … but Hot Water is fine, she supposes.
Seth Lowell: Still a naive rookie, but a hard working Vigilante under Zhu Yuan’s guidance.
Pulchra Fellini: Hired to take out the Artful Foxes, she ends up unwillingly endeared to them, but willingly cuts her contract to join them.
~Strongheart Construction and Engineering~
Tsukishiro Yanagi: She simply meant to build homes for Oni displaced during the wars, but accidentally created an industrial powerhouse and the largest employer of Oni in New Eridu.
Soukaku: Officially Lead motivator and PR Manager. Unofficially just there so Yanagi can keep an eye on her.
Burnice White: Head Electrical Technician and Engineer. Still crazy, but Less Burn more Shock this time around.
Kamano Manato: In an effort to consolidate all his part time jobs he’s joined the company and has managed to get Failume Heights to be one of their top customers - and rose through the ranks with fantastic ease.
~CISRT~
Piper Wheel: Captain of the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team. Eternally in a state of Two weeks from retirement.
Billy Kid: HE WILL UPHOLD JUSTICE AS THE STARLIGHT KNIGHTS DO! Also these guns are pretty sweet!
Vivian Banshee: She uses her powers of foresight to help save people, but Her dream is to catch the filthy crimelord Phaethon~ What a glorious day it will be when she brings in the most wanted proxies in Eridu~
Ben Bigger: Stereotypes are Stereotypes. Might as well use them to your advantage and make those gangs pay for their crimes. You know what they say about assumptions.
~Gentle Housekeeping~
Nicole Demara: Leading lady of Gentle Housekeeping. Her services are Expensive but vast~ Paid to keep a close eye on the young Miss Montefio.
Anby Demara: Right Hand woman to Nicole, she misses her sister and wishes they could work together again.
Luciana Auxesis Theodoro de Montefio: Really wants to be free of these goons her parents are paying to keep an eye on her … And really wishes they weren’t so nice and understanding. It makes it hard to be mean sometimes.
Harumasa Asaba: So long as he doesn’t have to dust, he’s happy with his paycheck. Medicine’s expensive. Plus, this way he can help Mayor Mayflower find places like the facility he met his Master in.
~Knights of Victoria~
Von Lycaon: He leads the Knights of Victoria, upholding freedom, justice, and chivalry among Outer Ring Biker Gangs.
Corin Wickes: living for the freedom of wind in her hair, the freedom from anxiety swept away by flowing dunes, and the roar of her Whirlygig as it shreds scrap and Ethereals apart.
Orphie Magnusson and Magus: The Pain of being in the Defense force was too much for Magus to bear, so she and Orphie went Awol. Orphie gets the freedom she deserves, and Magus gets the freedom she needs.
Ju Fufu: She’s searching for her people as best she can; but acting like she’s in one of those Cowboy Movies is fun too!
~Section 6~
Koleda Belobog: the Chief of Section Six. Rage fuels her movements, burning and bright. Temper Flares, molten rock and metal. Her Hammer, empowered by her insatiable anger, will shatter all to dust, and melt all to Slag. The youngest Void Hunter in history
Grace Howard: Watching over her little sister, desperately trying to keep her from forgetting she’s still a person, and there’s more emotions than just frustration.
Alexandrina Sebastiane: The Ultimate Civil Worker, protecting everyone in New Eridu. Most often will handle paperwork before anyone else can get to it. Do not eat the snacks she brings in.
Astra Yao: With a voice that can pierce hollows, She always carries the song of the investigators that saved her life, and gifts it to other freely, especially if they are in a spot like she was
~Rockers of the Engine~
Caesar King: A wild and rough drummer. Her kit is specially designed to put up with worse abuse than even symbiotic ethereals can handle.
Ellen Joe: Lead Singer and guitarist, She hides her face and paints her tail during performances. She will only come to signings and interviews in costume. Her stage name is “Nom Nom Shark.”
Hugo Vlad: A vicious and thorough manager; If something isn’t exactly to his specifications, then it’s highly likely that a show will not take place. It will always be more expensive to refund tickets than get things right when it comes to the Rockers. Uses his station to leverage against TOPS Organizations in many ways.
~Mockingbird~
Soldier 11: The Faceless head of Mockingbird. After being abandoned by her sister, she removed herself from the NEDF’s clutches and learned to steal - but her heart was meant for something kinder, and so she set on settling scores between those who take and hurt people like her and her sisters, and the citizens of New Eridu - that was her purpose, wasn’t it? To protect Eridu?
Mockingbird. Repeated and Repeated, Twelve Times. This world gave her nothing, and took so much from her. Now she’ll take it back.
Alice Thymefield: She doesn’t fully understand the conviction Soldier 11 has in this operation. She does, however, believe in the basis of it - spread the wealth, and raise the tide. She also funds these operations.
~Obol Squad~
Evelyn Chevalier: Captain. Taking her knowledge from The Order, she joined the Defense Force to protect people for once.
Lighter Lorenz: After the NEDF broke up the fighting ring he was in, he was offered a job that would take him far away from his troubles, and let him use his skills to the fullest - one he readily accepted.
Pan Yinhu: There wasn’t much for him in this world, but for his strength and ferocity, the Defense force gave him room, board, and all the MRE’s he could ever need. He’s not been hungry since. That’s to say nothing of the flavor though.
Jane Doe: A Nobody from Nowhere that no one knows. A perfect Covert Operative.
~Yunkui Summit~
Yixuan: (I couldn’t think of anything more fitting than having her still being Shifu. It’s too engrained in who she is as a person and character. This is literally just Canon Yixuan)
Anton Ivanov: Joined fairly soon after the Fall of the old capital and the dissolution of Belobog Heavy Industries. Now part of the Brotherhood of Suibian Temple! Everyone’s a bro here!
Trigger: Her unique eyes allow her to understand the flow of Ether better than any other; and this place has helped her calm her soul after her squad died in front of her.
Ukinami Yuzuha: It’s local and people swing by all the time when they want to talk about ghosts or spirits! It’s exhilarating! Plus, whenever she helps others with their fortunes, they’re often greater than when anyone else helps.
~Krampus Compliance Authority~
Hoshimi Miyabi: She is quick to dole out justice, so her comrades must dissuade her until it becomes a necessity.
Hugo Vlad: Joins the Krampus Compliance Authority. This makes much, MUCH more sense than him being a Manager and under the thumb of TOPS in any way.
It is Likely Zhao or Dialyn will take his spot as Manager for the Rockers of the Engine.
Asaba Harumasa: Also now works for the Krampus Compliance Authority. He personally Ensures that no company within the TOPS Alliance is doing to others what was done to him.
~Potential Changes~
I may move Astra to Spook Shack with the idea she uses the mysteries and stories as inspiration for music, as that seems fairly in line with Yidhari and Lucia's purpose for being in Spook Shack.
Yidhari would then take Astra's place in Section 6, as she's very strong, got something weird going on with her eyes like Yanagi. Her motivation would be, naturally, her desire to keep others from losing their parent like she lost hers.
~~~~~
~Spook Shack~
Lucia Elowen: (Akin to Yixuan, the purpose, motivation, and personality of Lucia feels too tied to what her idea of Spook Shack Is, of finding people that are like her - loving stories and mystery and mythology and Ethereals. maybe I could've put her in Yunkui Summit, but I like who I have there already.)
Nekomiya Mana: Taking a Nickname from Old Civilization mythos, she has a certain level of intrigue - this is one lucky Black cat!
"Seed Jr."/Flora of the Valley: After the Decommissioning of Seed Sr, Seed would use her Inheritance to buy Seed Sr's 'corpse' and maintain it throughout her life, and working under Porcelumex as a Freelance Guardian for removing Ethereals from Porcelume and Lumite Ore mining sites. In her Free time she follows Spook Shack posts in an attempt to find and recollect her Father's soul in an attempt to revive him.

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
