My name is Immi and I enjoy shitposting about asshole tertiary characters from the various series in the Naritaverse. Also stuck in card game hell again. Will probably think of a Shadowrun AU for literally everything I enjoy ever. ACNL Dream Address: 5C00-000F-9ACF

The pursuit of knowledge and power can be dangerous.
Aleister doesn't care. [gen, T]
Hey, I also got around to posting that fic about Aleister being a feral disaster summoner and in doing so found out that there were already existing tags for him and Endymion which is wild to me. And also simplified things greatly.
(OCG/TCG fic needs its own category though, because god it is so scattered)

Windy can't remember the first time he felt something for Lightning. And he's really not sure how he feels now that everything is over. [Windy/Lightning. G]
This is the piece I wrote for the Ignis Anthology last year. I’ve actually been free to post it for a little while and kept forgetting, but here it is. Windy having complicated emotions and Lightning being a guilty mess.
angrysasuke: shitposts are how i cope with yet another grave being made for my fav non human character ok :( (daruizen loves a strong girl, <3)
He does. Why do I feel like my watching it is cursing these things. Also I have not seen the last episode yet but the preview made it look like a complete waste of everyone’s time and I don’t understand why they didn’t just bump 44 ahead one, make it the last episode, and then use the spare time for literally anything else.
So yea, I've grown way too fond of the Magic Citadel/Spellbook Tower lore, especially with the implications the new Magistus archetype gives to it and I now have a deeply held belief that the reason Endymion is so controlling when it comes to who is allowed access to magic is because he's seen how bad it can get.
Anyway, this has resulted in me writing a ficlet about Aleister being a borderline feral demon summoning weirdo and Endymion judging his poor life choices. T rated at most. Maybe shippy if you squint? (I do think they should kiss) I am torn on posting it to Ao3, just because the thought of trying to tag OCG/TCG fic gives me a headache (how do you tag characters when these characters go under multiple card names?) so for now it's here.
--------------------------
Aleister is barely aware of the voice that cuts through the haze of pain. His senses mired in an all encompassing exhaustion that weighs down every limb and even his skin aches like it's been split and torn.
It has, some logical part of his mind that is just barely holding on whispers. That last summoning. Something happened. Something....
He shudders, coughs, makes a vain attempt to heave himself to a sitting position and ultimately fails. Half-aware of that murmuring voice off to the side and a pressure (hands?) on his shoulders. The voice is clipped, chiding maybe? Definitely angry. But the touch is careful. Firm but gentle, like it's afraid of hurting him, or hurting him more than he's already hurt himself at least.
"Foolish," is the first word his sluggish mind can actually parse. "...should lock you up."
It takes far more effort than it should to open his eyes, not that he can see much at first. A dark blur leaning over him, blotting out the candlelight. The faint gleam of metal, sharp points of armor, and a smile touches his lips as the clues slot into place. The expression vicious and cynical, slowly stretching into a grin that is far, far, too wide and manic.
"Why haven't you?" It's a struggle to speak. His throat raw like he's been screaming (he probably has) and abruptly the blur above him steps back. Turning away with a dramatic swirl of a cape and despite the pain he laughs. At least, it's supposed to be a laugh, even if it doesn't quite sound like one.
"Because ultimately I know it wouldn't work. You wouldn't learn and you'd very likely find a way out. What I really should do is end you, Crowley."
"Not Crowley anymore," he mumbles. It's getting easier to talk, even if he still can't quite find the energy to move. It takes everything he has to lift one of his arms enough to cover his eyes and blot out the light. The sight of that figure he doesn't quite want to face. "Threw that name away."
There is an extra long beat of silence followed by a sigh. "I suppose that's true. Sometimes I wonder if you've burned your humanity away completely with all of this."
"Is the only reason you're here to lecture me?" He takes a deep breath, silently counts to three, and makes another effort to heave himself into a sitting position. Choking back bile as his stomach lurches the moment he finds himself upright. His skin now only feeling a size too tight as opposed to the ragged ache from before.
The sigil on his hand burns, and he finds himself absently scratching at it as he squints upwards. His eyes settling on the long, cloaked, line of Endymion's back. There is still the odd spot dancing in his vision, a sharp headache-induced corona, but all of that is slowly beginning to fade.
"I'm not here to lecture so much as I’m here to warn you to stop."
"And what will you do if I don't?"
Again, there is no response. No response beyond Endymion turning back towards him, just slightly. His expression mostly hidden behind the dark metal of his helmet, save for the thin, disapproving, line of his mouth.
"You say you should end me, but...." Aleister's fingers close around the staff lying nearby and he carefully uses it to leverage himself to his feet. "I find myself wondering if you really could." He takes a staggering step forward. "I'm weak enough right now that if you really wanted to you could stop me." Another step. "Forever." One more shaky step, and he's almost within arm's length now. "So why don't you? Why don't you just...."
Another step and the staff he's leaning far too heavily against catches on an uneven portion of the stone floor, slipping from his hands and he stumbles. His breath escaping in a sharp gasp as he staggers forward, eyes squeezed shut in an attempt to brace himself for the worst when a pair of arms steadies him. Leaving him all too aware of the sharp press of armor against him.
"Just stop." Endymion's voice is a low murmur that is now far, far, too close. "There is any number of avenues your research could take. I'd be more than willing to support you in something more reasonable than this."
A strangled laugh catches in the back of Aleister’s throat, his fingers curling against the metal covering Endymion's chest so firmly that he fears he might cut himself. "You mean something appropriately controlled?"
"Something less dangerous."
"It's all dangerous, though. Isn't it?"
"It is. But there are appropriate levels of risk. If you'd just stay within them...."
“You know I won't do that."
"Even if this path destroys you?"
He pushes himself away, staying upright through sheer force of will alone. "I'd rather tear myself apart than be restrained by any limitation you set."
"And you likely will."
He pretends he doesn't hear the melancholy in those words as Endymion once more turns away. Striding from the room and leaving Aleister alone in the dim confines of his lab.
Because I don’t feel like copying the whole thing in full over to here. This is the result of me spending an evening trying to sort out my own speculation and what is actually concrete from the Master Guides as far as the whole Magistus/Invoked/Prophecy/Spellbook/Endymion/Witchcrafter clusterfuck goes.
I still haven’t bothered looking into anyone else’s speculation. Someday I’ll get around to it but I really wanted to get my own thoughts clear.
(ultimately there are two lore stores I am hugely attached to: the Shiranui/Mayakashi one, because Squire and Dakki are cute as shit. And this fucking mess, because I want to make sense of this goddamn mystery)
I am rising from the dead to state for the record that I am lately getting way too into YGO card lore and am especially fixated on this stupid bitch:
Even if everyone hates him as a card because of the invoked engine I adore this ridiculous disaster that wound up fused with a fucking tower because of course he did and goddammit, Konami, put out some concrete Magistus lore because I need it. I need to know how he came to become a reckless idiot doing dangerous summonings (although I can infer some shit)
(also I make jokes about him being a disaster bi because of the flexibility of the invoked engine making him the fusion equivalent of the town bike. it’s funny to me, okay?!)
I don’t think the specific Magic Citadel/Spellbook Tower plotlines are connected to the rest of Duel World story (like the however fucking many other archetypes from the Duel Terminal nonsense) although I could be wrong on that. But if it was he would be the biggest disaster monsterfucker in all of Duel World.
Which would be one hell of a feat given all the crazy monsters running around.

Happy New Year from my Animal Crossing character (and my storage alt that is cosplaying as Yoko the Graceful Mayakashi because, look. Look. Mayakashis are my favourite non-anime archetype, okay). And marvel over the fact that I have two of the best smug villagers in Ken and Pietro. (I also have two of the best crankies in Static and Rizzo but they didn’t show up in the plaza)
Remember when I said I was going to upload these the next day and then proceeded to not log into Tumblr for like a month.
On the upside, they added a way to easily get screenshots off the Switch without needing to link to garbage like a Twitter account in the meantime so I can actually post clear ones instead of taking pictures of my TV.
If I recall correctly I also have transparent versions of the light emblem and the single tile Star Crew patterns uploaded.
