A person with a lot of time on their hands, currently. Addicted to reading fanfics and hashing out a ton of AUs for fandoms I enjoy. Am trying to be a writer after an extreme depression & writers block. She/Her. Ao3: JustThatAverageFeeling
Having insane thoughts about Mito outliving her husband, her entire generation, her married Clan, her homeland and what it means for her to be the first Jinchuuriki
Mito ramble below:
This was an excuse to draw elderly Mito but also I genuinely believe Mito becoming the jinchuuriki had….ramifications beyond what canon showed us
Like the tailed beasts were canonically free romaning prior to Madara and Hashirama’s gotta-catch-them-all Pokémon spree, you can’t be telling me people weren’t worshipping these giant chakra beasts as some kind of greater spirit or even god akin to yokai worship in Japan. Or at the very least, forces of nature that were something people fear to meddle with. Like in a “I don’t really practice [religion]”, but I’m not going to go desecrate the old shrine by the old tree, that’s bad luck kind of way
So. capturing the tailed beast within you. That’s unheard of. Insanity. Blasphemy. Is Mito still a human, can a human even contain a god? Or is she the fox now, wearing human skin? When her eyes turn red and slitted and she smiles a fox’s smile and her shadow belies something much older and angry and humanity, can anyone really trust that she is in control?
At least she had Hashirama, the god of shinobi to ‘contain’ her. And then she did not.
There has to be a section of people who believe Mito containing the Fox has cursed the land with the Fox’s vengeance. Uzushio, Konoha, the Senju grounds. And when early Konoha embroils itself in war and remembers Madara bringing the fox, or later Konoha experiences the fox Again, and Uzushio falls and so do the Senju,
isn’t that a logical conclusion?
Mito watching history pass her by, “blessed” with the Uzumaki’s long lifespan and whatever the fox dealt her. She married into the Senju, she belongs to that clan and not the Uzumaki anymore. But the Senju is gone and so is her husband and her brother in law, his body never recovered. Her natal clan is scattered to the winds and now she is princess of nothing. The survivors of Uzu, the diaspora that flees to Konoha, bitter over Konoha’s lack of action and claiming she has forgotten her roots, do not approach her.
The empty Senju compound rots around her and Uzushio becomes ruins she cannot return to, people grow up terrified and blaming her in equal breath for misfortune, for thinking that she deserved the power of a god. But what else is left for her now, but to continue living with the kyuubi sealed within her?
I don’t think the vitrol against jinchuuriki only started in naruto’s era, when the fox broke free of Kushina. I think it started much earlier from the very beginning.
So Mito is alone for a very long time, and yet she’s not, because she has with her the very curse that she is the jailer for, and when she finally nears the end and Kushina asks her how she managed it, Mito tells this sweet, cheerful little child to love the fox, because with weight and social ostracisation of being a jinchuuriki plus Uzumaki longevity (if not even the god of shinobi gets the chance to walk with an Uzumaki to the very end of life, who else can?) it is the only way to endure and carry this duty to the very end.
In the Code Lyoko "The trio are AIs" fics you have been doing.
Do you have a detailed description of what the AIs look like normally with and without their disguises. I get bits and pieces through the chapters but I would like something more solid.
Honestly, I am tempted to draw them but I have nothing to base it off.
Please and thank you.
Sorry I've taken quite some time to get back to this ask. Things have been extremely hectic lately. Honestly, I hope this information does spark some drawings ;-;
Since I've taken so long I'll also toss in some bonus content beyond the cut below. (Note: Each character I talk about I'll use a basic reference for and expand on it & how it may separate from Canon.)
Oddr Bianchi/PNX-621:
This is the default avatar of Odd in S1 of Bizarre Guide. Obviously there are very noticeable changes. Odd's main color in this AU is white. The yellow/grey/pink markings on his outfit are colors of calico cats (i.e. black, brown, orange) w/ his original purple as Odd has some purple cat in him at heart. Purple on his white paws, purple/brown splotches along his tail (not neatly of course). Of course he also keeps his blond hair with purple splotch too :3
His eyes are heterochromatic (think Todoroki Shoto's eyes lol) w/ right one purple & left one gold feat. slit pupils (they do grow bigger depending on high amounts of emotion within Odd, which is a little thing of itself). He also has some fangs mixed with human teeth, and some whiskers around where his tribunal markings are. Notably his ears are replaced with cat ears, also a soft purple with a inner light pink.
Camouflaged Form: Brunet hair with a hard-to-see purple splotch. Amber eyes. He typically wears a face mask until he improves his ability to hide his whiskers/fangs, but when the mask is off and his whiskers are hidden they instead give way to freckles in their place. Wears a fluffy purple sweater with lilac fluff around the hoodie, eye-searing pink jeans, and neon yellow shoes.
Odd's the flashy "doesn't understand fashion" of the trio. His outfit is an abomination that slowly becomes sane throughout the first season.
Ulrich Schmidt/PNX-458:
Obviously once again we're referring to the S1 for the Bizarre Guide baseline. Ulrich's outfit is changed the most out of the trio here, although Aelita takes a close second. Jeremie describes him as a "samurai-knight warrior" which is a confusing mess, but I'll say he's meant to be a warrior. A literal mesh of different fighters.
His eyes are a bright neon orange, slightly tanned skin. He has a gauntlet of metal on his left hand, while his right hand wears a fingerless glove. There's also a pouch on that right arm where he has a limited amount of shuriken to toss when he needs a projectile.
The chest and legs are pretty similar to canon (i.e. short-cut orange-yellow kimono, black leggings, black-red kneepads, black sandals).
He possesses antenna on top of his ears. Sissi calls him a bunny for it. They're slim pieces of silver with red lights at the tips. Every time Ulrich fiddles with them (which is a lot, it's a bit of a habit to double check things lol) they trigger a red scanner to appear in front of his eyes.
Camouflaged Form: Short brown hair, hazel eyes. Green jacket on top of a beige shirt, worn grey jeans, slightly pointed ears donning some hearing aids to mask his typical antennas. I think he's the most similar to his S1-S3 Earth outfit, except his camouflaged antennas & different colored eyes.
Akizakura Yumi/PNX-379:
We're back to referencing S1 for the Bizarre Guide Lyoko forms~!
His eyes are a soft pink, think of cherry blossoms if you want the specific shade. Notably they darken to a bright red to display her overuse of telekinesis. Her makeup is pretty much the same as canon.
Her sleeves are much longer, think of her beta Lyoko form for a visual reference. The red-black of her upper outfit follows each sleeve (i.e. black right red left) and pink-grey sakura petal designs decorate both sleeves. Underneath her sleeves are bandages wrapped around her arms and her nails are painted a ruby red.
There's a kabuki fox mask attached to the rope pinning her obi. The mask allows her to activate her invisibility for a few minutes at a time. There is also a small grey bag on her left thigh that typically is flat, but at rare times will contain a special item that she'll use. She wears some short black heels too.
Her hair manages to grow an assortment of flowers (note: think of them growing as if they were part of a flower crown) depending on her mood, although the flower that she usually keeps is the cosmos.
Camouflaged Form: Black-haired w/ her hair pin shifted into a loose hair tie. It keeps her hair up in a messy bun. Grey eyes. Grey-black sweater (think of S1 since that's been my main reference) except for slightly lighter. Black leggings and her canonical boots.
+ An Extra Cause I'm A Sucker for Asks...
Aelita Stones/???!
Alright so this Lyoko outfit in particular, as I mentioned earlier, is the second most changed behind Ulrich himself.
She's no elf this time around. She's a full-fledged alien!
Her eyes are the same green shade, but they lack pupils. Her hair is a mix of blond and pink (blond roots while pink colors the rest of the strands). Some of it is in a small ponytail, but it's mainly loose (similar to Yumi's Camouflaged Hair but w/o the bun).
She has literal antenna cropping up from her forehead, tucked away under some strands of hair. They're not metallic like Ulrich's, but they're ones you can compare to whenever you see stereotypical aliens with green antenna. Aelita's antennas are a soft skin-like color that fades to a soft, glowing blue at their sphere-like tips. [they light up when she utilizes creativity!!]
Her pointy ears are pierced with sun & crescent moon earrings (sun on the right, moon on the left). She dons a rosy cardigan over a pink-white dress (colors akin to her S1 Lyoko form), the dress specifically has soft blue dots to represent the 40 towers in Lyoko [wink wink]. There's also fluffy leggings that shift to her canonical shoes.
Notably to replace her lack of fighting she possesses two purple bracelets that emit energy whips. They only do 2lps damage when they sink into an opponent, which makes them absolutely awful attack-wise... But, they're extremely handy when it comes to travel. This plus her cardigan allowing her temporary camouflage makes it hard on XANA to locate her. Too bad recharging her energy whips takes up her life points too.
I won't give away the Camouflaged form just yet though, but I hope this Aelita expansion is enough :3
I've posted a CL fic that I've been sitting on for months. I'm aiming to update and finish it within the month, but for now I hope you enjoy my own divergence of Evolution with some crack tossed in lmaoo
I like to think that odd liked William before the love triangle but when he found out William liked Yumi he let it go ((even though his feelings developed when he with Will))
William, I think that once he got over Yumi, he gradually started to like ood.
The one where Shoto has to go through half of his character arc pre-Sports Festival or else he can't attend UA, and he's very much Not A Happy Camper About All of This
Multiple POV shifting but I'm mainly sticking with Reigen & Shoto. There will be others (tm) involved in this portion of the story.
I aim for a series of "past/present" reflecting so I can toss in some MP100 situations that shifted slightly due to being fused with the BNHA-verse
Mob, as much as I really want to write him more, will be popping in and out to give the readers some hint dropping for the third story of the series haha
This story is mainly just "transitioning" and "how to expand your horizons when you're forced to". Reigen and Shoto go through this change even if Reigen's not going to share with the kids that, well, he got blackmailed into this lol
He's still going to help either way, no matter Shoto's frosty attitude (or w/e happens with the other kids in future fics)
Endeavor v Reigen is something I'm lowkey excited to do even though I feel it's going to be a pain to write LOL (the reason you suck speech... beautiful...)
getting away with MP100 characters interacting with Shoto since Reigen's UA office isn't set up yet >:)
also also I think I mentioned this but Reigen is Teru's guardian and we get more on this relationship (cause I imagine neither are very... gung-ho about it despite their agreement that this can help Teru out a ton)
ending of this fic is pretty much "the end of the transition" (i.e. the start of UA; the start of Reigen Being Stressed About 20+ Kids What The Hell)
One last bonus thing: Thinking of capping the series off at Kamino. Take that as you will from this chat about coldheart & earlier entries haha
Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

Originally I was debating on doing this, but ah it doesn't hurt haha
Most of these are either very put together outlines that I haven't sat down and written, or they're just a simple idea that I wanted to mess around with and it's kinda expanded more than I thought lol. I'll be nice and tag the series I'm trolling with in certain cases otherwise gl gl
WIPs:
who you are/fate's hand (bnha/ssbu)
headlock (cl)
album [just strays continuation] (cl/mlb)
brick by boring brick (cl/b10)
come home [bystander continuation] (cl)
and such is... [...more than you'd believe continuation] (mp100/b10)
Chewing on Cloud's fusion sword from advent children.... it's a bunch of smaller swords that fuse into one big one that looks like the Buster Sword.... it looks like the Buster Sword but it isn't because even if Cloud can never and will never be Zack, thinking he was Zack and also just Zack's prescence in his life has literally shaped who he is and also his sword.... and the Buster Sword represents an ideal of heroism Cloud can't live up to so he can't wield it anymore but his new sword is a bunch of smaller swords that he can fuse into one that looks like the Buster Sword because unlike Zack who can just be a hero all the time, sometimes Cloud is too scared to be brave or too in his own head to be kind so he has to wield those aspects seperately like the smaller individual swords but when he's at his best it's like the full fusion sword which looks like the Buster Sword because the two of them are different but they both turned out to be heroes. Can anyone hear me. It's so dark in here
Must fight urge to Origin Trio ship in search your soul... Ugh, it's so tempting grr...
Bakugou needs his development first for me to pull it off, and uh, the flashbacks are def not helping with that rn 😭
For now I have to settle with faint TodoDeku vibes 😔
Other than that lament, I do wonder what kind of quirk specialists exist in MHA as doctors cause we don't really get into that much eh.
I guess these are some spoilers I'm sitting on for the fic but uh, it won't be too big of ones. Just want to ramble while I put Izuku through the trauma contraption when he's not even in high school yet 🤣
