To Infinity, And Beyond

Hello! I wanted a place to scream about all the things I liked, so here I am :D

[inf-01]

Hey I want to ask about more of relationship that Natsuki will have with the village, with him absolutely not taking their bull, I can see him verbally destroying the grocery workers for trying to up sell him and giving him expired food.

Weeeelll since your asking :D

I got a lot of stuff planned for how Natsuki will interact with Konoha on a macro level. You’re absolutely right that he’s gonna be a lot less tolerant, he’s himself after all. If you remember the scene where Natsuki and Hiruzen have a run in with the Chunin under the bridge, that’s akin to what I have planned. Unlike Naruto who either took the abuse or relied on childish deflection, Natsuki is a lot more likely to bite back.

Unlike Naruto though, Natsuki is-at this point in the story-mentally 20 years old. He’s not an affection starved kid, he’s an adult, and as such a not inclined towards the desperate attention seeking behavior Naruto was known for as a kid. He won’t be quiet about his ambitions of course, and he definitely has a defiant and spiteful streak that’ll have him loudly declaring his intent to any detractors, but Natsuki would honestly love for people to just leave him alone so he can train in peace. He may feel the same heroic inclinations he’s trained into himself for Konoha, and he’s determined to show them a proper hero looks like, but he doesn’t have the same craving for Konoha’s validation that Naruto did.

On the flip side, the thing that Naruto and Natsuki have in common is that neither of them know why the people of the village treat them so poorly, but unlike Naruto, Natsuki has the knowledge and experience to question what the fuck is up with all these grown adults beefing with a child. Not only will he not just take it, he’ll also want to know why people are acting this way. How much luck he’ll have digging into it, I can’t say without spoiling, but suffice to say Natsuki will be digging into what exactly about him makes the villagers so angry.

It won’t all be bad though. Same as Naruto, there will be plenty of people who can look past the rumors and rough exterior to see the hero Natsuki is aspiring to become.

Me watching all the magic users realize the monsters are resistant: "You're hosed, guys, time to send in the Combat Twink."

OOF FOR COLETTE SHE LITERALLY GOT “AND-YOUR-FRIEND-STEVE”’D ON THE FIRST DATE

rip

“And your friend Steve” brother Rosti was staking his fucking claim. SHE was the 3rd wheel here.

Wistoria wand and sword I was unaware of your game

What if Kakashi did the Hatake Cheek Rub on Natsuki on an instinct he didn't know he even had? A memory that had been completely wiped from his conscious mind until that moment? Imagine the mortification on both sides.

Kakashi’s next instinct would be to pretend the incident never happened, but Natsuki is just too fun to rile up so he ends up doing it again for the bit. And then one thing leads to another and its become a habit with all Team 7 cause they don't want to be left out

This is gonna happen now. It just has to, I’m gonna write it. Natsuki screaming and trying to push Kakashi away and it just doesn’t work. Sakura begs for her own and Sasuke stands there pouting like everyone isn’t seeing straight through him and now it’s just a thing the team does, and Natsuki (loves) hates it.

Hey just asking when are you going to update your Number One by Another Name fic it’s been a while, just asking

Funny you should mention that (:

[homunculus-argument]

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

[thekijs]

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

yuh i was there, that's how it happened

Hitoshi reincarnated as Kakashi new Chap

Chapter 7: What could go wrong?

Work summary: Shinsou Hitoshi dies whilst under the influence of multiple quirks and is reincarnated as Hatake Kakashi.

(Can be read without any knowledge of Road to Nowhere. This is just the same concept reversed.) (But it's a really good story so you should do that anyway.) (For your soul.)

Most kids with undesirable quirks dream of a place where powers can be gained and discarded like any other skill. Where you don't have to be defined by the power your parents passed onto you. Where everyone has the potential to learn to use any quirk they like, as long as they work for it.

But even fantasy worlds are plagued by the inherent unfairness of genetics, apparently.

And war. There's also that.

Chapter summary: Kakashi's first mission out of the village... goes. It goes.

(A/N: Hi, coming in hot with a new chapter and Starbucks. Yes I am alive. I think.)

[inf-01]

Chat we are NOT alright

[thlayli-rah]

Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight

I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever

But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”

This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it

And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit

So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

[thlayli-rah]

Coming back to say that while a lot of the responses to this post have been mainly positive, some folks have an attitude that it should be something that my friend— or any cis, straight man —should just be able to get over, because fuck ‘em, that’s why, because they’re in a queer space and they should shut up and accept it, because you suffer as a queer person and they should have to suffer too— regardless of whether or not this specific person has done anything to wrong you

I’m gonna say this point blank— you’re a tar pit if you think this way

Your suffering does not make you special, you are not granted brand new permissions to be belligerent and cruel because you have been treated poorly, straight people aren’t an oppressed class, no, but they’re people who are entitled to the same amount of basic decency that you, yourself, are entitled to

It feels good when you’ve been treated like shit to then go forward and treat other people like shit. That’s what you’re admitting. Does it make you feel good to do harm? Are you proud of that? Are you comfortable with being that kind of person? Because I dunno about the rest of you— but I realized I wasn’t, and it turns out it’s pretty fucking easy to change

You are stuck as a soldier in this historical war

If only Ssyelle could slow down time for all of us. I hope yall like these drawings that I scrambled to draw in one day!

[inf-01]

<3

[steadycolossusscionj]

Head cannons I have about the characters from Dragon Striker

key is a really good cook mostly because I think he would help make big goods with his dad to make money .

Ssyelle I feel like it would be funny if she was like a terrible singer

Milo is terrified of ghost because of his brother telling him scary stories and watching scary movies

Odward will deny about ever being homosexual (I don’t know what sexuality he is)

Amelie she does not like it when people mention her height

Ragno is actually big baby cause I think it would be funny if he was like watching a movie and would just be burst out in tears (YES cry HAHA)

Shardi is related to Freki (just look at them)

Sanga is a pretty princess

I can’t think of anymore😅

[inf-01]

Oh crybaby Ragno I didn’t know I needed you in my life

[balis77]

Skadi: "Captain, I don't think I should be on the field during the match with the Knights."

Ragno: "Pathetic. Do you really care that much about that joke of a farmboy that you can't even play against-"

Skadi: "What? No- he's fire and I'm ice. He melted a metal cage during the match with the Bards. If he starts cutting loose even a little bit I am literally down an arm and a leg."

Ragno: "...Oh, right."

Skadi: "Ragno I physically cannot block him, if he gets too close he will melt me."

Ragno: "No no, that's fair, that's fair. That's... that's a good point."

Hilarious

[merpicus]

Ok I need y'all to hear me out. Key Nagatatsu was raised on a FARM. Boy was put to work growing SQUASH his entire life. On the other hand most gorotama players we get backstory of, like Ssyelle and Casper and Falco, were raised by well off upper middle class and wealthy people. I get the angst of Key being his mothers son, and being antagonized for that, but can we consider the angst of being a son of the land and being placed in a large city where people look down on you for not knowing where you belong there. Where you get odd looks for your tradition and accent and your knowledge of things that no longer matter there. I have a vision in my head of Key being invited to a fancy ball or party commemorating a good gorotama game and Ssyelle asks him if he knows what to wear and he says he does and he wears a nice outfit with his hair down and flowers and braids and as he walks in he realizes that no one else there looks like him. I have a bunch of headcanons about the cultural differences between the city and the valleys but idk guys can we remember he's a farm boy please.

I AM HEARING YOU OUT

[irkedisaac]

theres SO many threads on steam abt not being able to kill the predators or have a gun or whatever and its just the worst media illiteracy ever. you are a clone-self working for a space megacorporation who absolutely controls your access to materials and technology. you think they'd give you weapons? ballistic ones, with bullets in them? to their debt slaves?

more importantly, the game could not be clearer: you don't belong here. you are a monkey flapping around in an ocean filled to the brim with things who were born to hunt and kill there. accept your place in that world, and hide under a rock. like smart prey.

[inf-01]

Honestly op the tags should’ve been the post. My biggest issue with Subnautica 1 and 2 is that the creatures in the ocean feel more like obstacles to avoid rather then an actual ecosystem to interact with. Apparently the devs are gonna try to fix this, but so far the only game I’ve played that does this in a way that’s actually fun is Rain World.

[smolfrosted]

Y’all just ever have moments where you remember that you still technically are an apex predator and like

Instinct just kicks in?

Like when hunting a bug or something not supposed to be in the house?

[inf-01]

Brother there is no technically, we just are
