Sup, i'm Stxr, and ig its about time I make a post like this lol?

Okay sooo... pronouns are he/they, im omni with a heavy preference towards women, im 18+ so dont worry about freaky asks, and im severely chronically ill and as im sure you could tell, neurodivergent. Im a huge multishipper, a fandom veteran, and particularly obsessed with the Trailblazer - Caelus especially (gee, who coulda possibly guessed?)

I'd say that works, yeah?

Never once expected this blog to get any attention, let alone as much as it has. It really was just a place to ramble lol. But apparently people seem to like those rambles, and damn im not gonna turn down the chance to talk about HSR.

Feel free to ask me about really anything related to HSR! Lore, ships, theories, whatever! (Though i would prefer to not talk about like.. fandom discourse lol, im too tired for that stuff. Oh and like.. building or meta stuff is probably a no-go as well, mainly because it makes my head hurt and i really dont have a clue what im doing, but if it works it works yk?) I absolutely have my preferences and my specialties, but that doesnt mean im not willing to step outta that comfort zone! Im obsessed with the game as a whole, just some aspects a lot more than others.

Im also totally fine with leaks! I follow them myself, though i never use them in any of my theories or whatnot without tagging it lol. No surprise leaks, spoilers suck.

On another note related to asks, i did get a particular ask that was.. a little strange? its not one ive replied to because it was kinda rude to some others, and thats not what I want on my blog. But anyways: If you see me responding to asks from particular users/anons more frequently, its just because they send them more frequently! Theres no lines or turns here, if you wanna send me an ask, go ahead! Honestly theres three reasons i wouldnt respond quickly: Im not online/busy, tumblr got hungry again and ate it instead of letting me see it, or im just absolutely exhausted because of my chronic illness and have no energy to do anything at all.

But seriously. If you want to send me an ask, just go ahead! As long as tumblr doesnt eat it, ill get to it eventually. Or add a screenshot of the ask and respond to another ask thats about the same topic or one similar enough i wanted to combine them. But theres no first come first serve, and theres no limit to how many asks i can get. Its a matter of what I want to reply to first, and how much energy and time ive got.

Also, if you're interested, I have an ao3 account! Stxrblazer on ao3 as well! The account is basically all Trailblazer content (Caelus, specifically, he's my babygirl frfr) and mostly shipping. I wont take requests, but I will take ideas and suggestions!

Long ass post, this is why i never made one, idk how to be concise for the life of me </3

[stxrblazer]

Went thru and gave all the express crew and hunters a team. Except tb I couldn’t think of anyone past silvally smh im too tired.

It’s based solely on vibes alone. It’s also nearly 3 am and I can no longer think straight. So it may be kinda ass.

-side quest anon

Oh those are some fun teams!

I actually find it really interesting how we both decided on certain pokemon for the same characters and then wildly different ones for others lol.

Absol is just such a perfect mon for Elio, isnt it? Same with Volcarona for Firefly, or Smeargle for Welt.

[stxrblazer]

(Damn it, I can believe I forgot again! At this point doing anon is just for the sake of aesthetic)

It would be infinitely if TB generally brought in legendaries considered a bit more...aggressive or on the dark side, like imagine they just pull up to some place flying on freaking Yveltal (also, lowkey curious about the Xianzhou reaction to Xerneas considering how it's powers tie to life itself and immortality, kinda close to abundance)

To the guy who said to make TB have Silvally as his partner, you are a genius and deserves all the praise in the world, I admit I had forgotten about Silvally (sorry my bro), they fit so much together, especially with how they change types as TB changes paths.

(Also, fun fact I have completed the Dex from Kanto to Sinnoh at this point, all pokmeon from all regions captured :3)

-Gundam anon

Trailblazer would be one of those Trainers that can genuinely manage to befriend literally any pokemon. Genuinely any. Doesnt matter if they’re meant to be aggressive or super skittish..

Trailblazer is like a light to a moth for them. Their method of catching pokemon is lowk just befriending one and going, hey, we work really well together, wanna come with me? And it like always works.

And tbh, im thinking about considering Legendaries as Emanators. Of what paths? Idk ill figure that out eventually. So basically Xerneas is an Abundance Emanator lmao. Sooo, they aint keen on it lol.

Silvally & TB is genuinely so good togetherrr frfr. Besties fr.

And thats super cool! Ive lowk never been someone keen on filling out the dex lol. I kinda just decide what pokemon I want on my team and catch whatever I need to make it till I can get the team i wanna use.

I rmb back when i first played ScarVio, i spent like, 3 days hunting down a rockruff with the right ability to get Dusk Lycanroc lmao.

[stxrblazer]

Kephale full form is restricted to being piloted by the TB and Phainon like Power Rangers Megazord, TB controls a set of arms, Phainon controls the other set and they share the legs

Oh they would have way to much fun.

They’d also be in perfect sync. Like it’d be eerie. Like to the point they arent allowed to unless its needed (which would hopefully be never) becaude it freaks people out.

Its like one fuckin’ person in there, not two. Actually lowk? It’s probably more like Steven Universe fusion than anything else.

But like, obviously they can work in perfect sync. Trailblazer is genuinely embedded into Phainon’s heart at a literal & emotional level, and Trailblazer has lived through Phainon’s entire existence.

[stxrblazer]

Same anon from that ask about streamer!traiblazer, imagine the TB streaming Amphoreus lmao, also, the headstart of acumulated wishpower they would get in planarcadia?? The mask turning into a real phantasmoon mask due to wishpower in 4.2 would happen waaaaaay sooner, Wonder how the relathionship with Sparxie would be, inspirational or something

Planarcadia would turn out SOOO differently.

First off, 4.0, theres a whole fucking war happening between Trailblazer and Sparxie fans. But also like.. the Sparxie fans are also lowk Trailblazer fans. And its Sparxies fault. Why?

Because Sparxie is still a Sparkle and goddamn do they both like Trailblazer a ‘normal’ amount. Ffs the woman picked them up and licked her lips. (I think she also lowk has a complex abt her base height, why have they both gone giant and snatched TB up wtf </3 hello??)

Sparxie still goes through with her plans- TB is also streaming opposite to her, and tje vibe is “Can she like. chill.” From the Trailblazer.

Trailblazer is also absolutely the much larger streamer lmao. And I imagine that TB would lowk ragebait her by refusing to do a collab stream.

“Im too busy.” Then they do an unplanned collab/reunion stream with the Ghost Hunting Squad lmaooo

Oh, and Fulwish would need to use a whole separate plan.

Yeah its gonna be alot harder to carry out a slander campaign on someone whose media presence is alot stronger than your own.

It’s also alot harder to imagine the Trailblazer as a mass murderer. Not. not even because of all the like, good and outreach they’ve done.

But their chat has like, watched this dumbass crash out with tape over their mouth as they try to guide March and Dan Heng into making a cake during a deaf/blind/mute challenge and then full heartedly faceplant into the floor after slipping on spilled floor.

This dumbass?? A mass murderer??? Really???

Fulwish’s plan genuinely wouldnt work, shuhu mind fuckery or nah.

Trailblazer would have to tell chat to NOT come to Planarcadia simply to give them wishpower lmao, they dont wanna cheat like that.

Does chat listen? Maybe.

[stxrblazer]

Hi!

First of all, thank you for your analysis: hearing your takes about hsr (about the SH especially) is always interesting!

Then, the question: in your opinion, Kafka's emotional detachement can somehow be linked to the fact that people in Pteruges-V can become devils when they experiment desires and pleasures?

Sometimes i feel like she tends to "hold back" with the trailblazer and with the other stellaron hunters, but i don't think i've clearly understood why she does this

What i find interesting is that both Blade and Firefly hint at the fact that while she always says that to keep the right distance is key in friendships and relationships in general, she does not fully believe this at heart

Part of it is likely to do with the Pteruges-V devil stuff. However from the sounds of it, its caused by indulging in excess of pleasure and desires, not just a normal healthy level. Kafka, as a former Devil Hunter, likely learned to restrain herself.

The devil stuff was caused by the Stellaron on Pteruges-V from what we know. Which means its likely its not as much of a problem for Kafka (or it could be, who knows.. the possibility haunts me.) but that doesnt really change the fact the restraint remains.

However, restrain ≠ the emotional distance Kafka displays.

Yeah, if anything its gonna trace back to the Trailblazer. Of course it does. A large percentage of discussions abojt either will always end up tracing back to the other. The two of them are as intertwined as Blade & Dan Heng, except with Kafka and Trailblazer the relationship isnt the kinda thing they need to move on from.

Arguably, they’re more intertwined (scandalous to say, i know) because while Dan Heng & Blade’s relationship is derivative of the past, a large portion of Kafka & Trailblazers is derivative of what has yet to come. Continuing on!

Theres a fair bit of implication that Kafka’s emotional distance started up around when she learned that Trailblazer was going to lose their memories and leave the Stellaron Hunters.

We know that before that, Kafka was seemingly far less distant. I mean, lets compare.

Kafka now: Literally spends her time off missions doing god knows what, Silver Wolf says she barely sees her anymore.

Kafka in the past: Would play games (or watch) with Firefly, TB, and Silver Wolf; would go on not infrequent beach trips altogether..

The one big change is that Trailblazer isnt around anymore.

Like ive mentioned with Silver Wolf, Kafka presumably hasnt had relationships like what she has with the Hunters. Meaning, she’s never experienced a loss like losing the Trailblazer.

Not only did she have to erase their memories herself; but considering the whole ‘each other’s destiny’ thing, the idea of Trailblazer leaving their side absolutely never occurred to her. Especially not after how long it’s been that they were partners.

Firefly & Blade, but Firefly particularly (iirc, she says it outright) stating Kafka doesnt truly hold that belief she claims she does about relationships is right. Its new. She’s absolutely always been more controlled, as is her character, but being so closed off? Thats new. Firefly has known Kafka almost as long as Trailblazer.

Arguably we should trust her word more than Kafka’s own. Not.. that Kafka has said much.

In all honesty, Kafka is grieving. Pulling away from everyone, spending time alone.. thats a grief response.

Its just made rather complicated by two things. First off, the person she’s grieving isnt dead. Secondly.. they’re barely any different.

Genuinely, it’s been repeated over and over: Trailblazer is still the same at their core. They’re more talkative, more self-inflictedly extroverted against their own habits.. but they remain the same person.

Kafka is still grieving them, and its complicated because of that. Trailblazer also remains out of her reach.

Her response is the opposite of Silver Wolfs. Whereas Silver Wolf is pretending that nothing has changed, ignoring the topic of the memory loss (as far as i recall, she basically never brings it up or anything vaguely related to it until 4.x).

Kafka meanwhile cant pretend nothing had changed. Everytime she looks at the Trailblazer, she sees both the void of memories she took from them, and a ghost. Everytime she looks at the Hunters, she sees the gap that Trailblazer was supposed to fill.

And so she is responding to her grief in a painstakingly human way.

She’s taking her restraint, the way she likes to treat relationships like a dance through the push & pull, the way she’s a hunter at her core with the chase of it all; and pushing it to self-destructive extremes with how she’s treating relationships now.

Basically she sincerely needs therapy, and god does she need alot of it.

Or someone to force her to confront whatever the fuck she’s going through because she doesnt seem to be acknowledging it or thst anythings wrong.

Blade & Firefly gotta lock in and make her lock in atp istg.

But yeahhh, it really does come down to a combination of caution born of her past, and self-destructive exacerbation of her normal tendencies and grief.

And also likely stuff that Elio has told her that we dont know that’s not being to helpful to whatever mental state she’s in.

She’s really holding onto that “Each other’s destiny” thing with a vice grip though.

[stxrblazer]

Every time I see that screenshot of Sparkle and TB banging heads together, I just think of that “clown-to-clown communication” image, ESPECIALLY because TB got Elation powers soon after.

-🌟

Sparkle did absolutely influence the Trailblazer’s perception of Elation. Not really in the standard way, but seeing Sparkle (and Sparxie’s) form of elation helped Trailblazer to figure out what their own is.

That cutscene was so funny.

Also one of these days, Trailblazer’s gotta - WAIT A SECOND THEY DO KNOW HOW TO LAND PROPERLY. THEY DID A COOL LANDING IN THE GODDAMN COCOLIA FIGHT.

TRAILBLAZER LOCK BACK IN CMON </3

[stxrblazer]

Would be very fun that once ampho turns real Dan heng, March and TB can just turn into Georos, Oronix and Kephale lmao

Technically iirc, the dragons & the jellyfish were Dan Heng & March’s forms as titans.

Trailblazer likely couldve chosen a different one (and then did, the train when it was needed) but like. They were going through it so they went full Kephale ‘bearing the weight of the world’ type thing.

Im so fascinated as to whats going to happen with Amphoreus, the heirs, and titans when it returns.

Like, will those three still hold those authorities? I imagine so. Does that mean Phainon is going to be fully human? I think he deserves that.

Just.. like im so intrigued as to how its gonna play out.

On a related note, i thought of the 4.2 anniversary event, and how Hysilens said smth along the lines of Cerydra’s been trying/itching to get out into the stars.. particularly so she can go find Trailblazer lmao.

[stxrblazer]

Man I know it won't happen probably, but it would be cool to see more characters truly join the Crew (mainly Acheron, very much because I'm biased towards her and because she deserves some friendships on the course of her journey)

Hell, we could have gotten Serval joining the Crew. Imagine grown-up Hook or Bailu or Clara joining the Express in the future

It's interesting to think which characters would fit right in in the Crew as Nameless (with the exception of the Hunters, but then again, if TB is somewhere, they'll likely go there too)

-Gundam

I imagine we’ll get more characters like Black Swan and Sunday! Not any new crew (maybe former crew, though, who knows!)

… see after the last ask i replied to im thinking about Nihilux, so now i cant help but wonder if she’ll tag along with the Express heading into Astropolis. For the inspiration ofc. And not because she’s aha. Trust.

A large number of characters would be pretty easy to give a reason to board. Trailblazing itself is a pretty hard job though - look at Sunday & Black Swan compared to the others. They were wiped.

Sunday got taken out by Evernight within an hour, and then Dan Heng locked in and spent a millennia searching for TB. Or like, TB only resting because they were told to by Himeko versus Sunday going “i need to take a coma nap” after the Fulwish fight lol. TB was ready to get going immediately - Himeko just said no.

Its nothing against Sunday ofc course. He just doesnt have the same unhinged determination that the Nameless do.

I cant ever imagine a new ticket being handed out.. but I can totally see us encountering former Nameless/crew. We already have!

Also I imagine Acheron would be willing to travel with tje Express as well. Esp since they’re bound to go against the Nihility eventually.

And istg if at least ONE Chrysos Heir doesnt get their ass on the train for a bit I will riot.

[stxrblazer]

Leakssssss

Did you see that nihilux may have a different model upon her becoming a playable character? Ive seen it from two different places but god knows idfk who’s a credible leaker or not

If that is true, the nihilux = aha(‘s mask) theories might be true lol

-side quest anon

Yes! I did!

I might remember seeing something saying that she’ll have two different forms.. and both are separate?

Aha = Nihilux theories grow only stronger. She’s also iirc, based off her character ID, the last character to release - barring the 4.8 character. So.. basically she’s gonna be the Cyrene.

Not a support character though. Ive seen a few things describing her as a dps.

Look as long as she doesnt have a drastic change im good with whatever. I just want the manga vibe to remain.

But seriously. That online event during 4.2? Basically the Planarcadia plot.. aND IT WAS A STORY MADE BY NIHILUX

I DONT BELIEVE YOU’RE JUST A MANGA ARTIST WOMAN, STOP LYING-

[stxrblazer]

it is sincerely fascinating how i keep seeing people genuinely believing that Asat Pramad cared for Himeko as more than a game.

And i think part of it is that these people actually have good relationships with their fathers… or at least a better one than I do.

Even before the reveal, i fucking hated Asatsuke.

He was using pure emotional manipulation against Himeko the entire time. Im being serious. The whole ‘woe is me, this poor father that I am, you never came back to tell me you’re alive…” yeah so like. He entirely neglected her actually, and acting like that is basically an attempt to erase his abuse. (Which neglect is, to be clear. So is the emotional manipulation. Which from the looks of it, was probably Asatsuke’s go-to with Himeko growing up.)

And it is in fact made significantly worse by the fact that Himeko was ill. And without a second parent.

Asatsuke had zero right to act like he was the one wronged. He had no right to be upset over Himeko’s anger towards him. He knows this. He acts that way anyways, because its all a game to him.

“But he-“ so fun fact! Abusive parents can still act like good or normal parents. This doesnt erase the abuse.

And again, yes, neglect is abuse. Asatsuke was not present, frequently, and for years at a time. These werent little trips, these were full on absences, where a terminally ill child was left wholly alone without any parental support.

Himeko’s reaction to him- the anger and then the almost reluctant acceptance of his presence? The vague hope that maybe it will actually be different this time?

Those are arguably the abuse-responses she’s ended up having. Alot of the time, particularly with neglect, there is still a hope that maybe this time it will be different. Maybe this time it will be better. It almost never is.

Anyways, our Himeko doesnt have the same parental ‘bond’ though. If anything, her response to Asatsuke being a bastard himself, is because she’s still trying to be the original Himeko. She knows about Asatsuke secondhand, from og Himeko. And considering the fact we know that og Himeko was both younger and more hopeful from the looks of it? She probably had a kind pov on him than our Himeko.

But again, Himeko is trying to push her own feelings of likely genuine hatred or something akin to that, and keep in line with how the og Himeko would be.

On the topic of the two Himekos.. yeah so the whole like ‘caretaker’ ‘motherly’ vibes our Himeko has to her?

You know how imagenae are created from wishes, right?

…

Yeah those dots connect real easily, anyways!

Want more proof that Asat never actually gave a single fuck about Himeko?

The weathering curse is sourced from him. From the Destruction. Which he is an emanator of. He could have cured her if he actually cared at all. He doesnt. He never did.

She was a game to him. I mean ffs, the guy literally says that he’s figured out why he did it because of the look on Himeko’s face.. because playing the role of her father and then absolutely wrecking her was FUN.

Asat is insane, and he is going all in on the manipulation. And holy shit so many people are falling for it???

I was predisposed to not trust Asatsuke from the get go - both because of external knowledge on Ryusuke being an antagonist in hi3… and because i have daddy issues myself. But seeing so many people genuinely fall for the words of a literal Elation-Destruction maniac?? Wow.

[stxrblazer]

Remember that cutscene where they're like 20ft in the air and the trailblazers head, falls onto sparkles head and she falls onto the hard cement

How the fuck did neither of them get at least a concussion

I mean i guess the trailblazer survived some crazy shit so they could walk it off but sparkle??? You're not an imagenae, you can't survive the organ crusher 9000 like sparxie can, girl go to the hospital 😭

Tbf, all things considered, it’s not like Sparkles really a normal human either. She’s seemingly a mask.. or something else. Who knows. Its not like it matters.

But also she can in fact merge?? With an imagenae. And shapeshift. She isn’t operating on any logic but her own.

Trailblazer has taken worse falls and been fine.

Oh and Sparkle DID go to the hospital that patch, remember? It just.. didnt go so well for her.

Also im pretty sure that was significantly more than 20ft tbh. They went pretty damn high up.

[stxrblazer]

Hsr with Pokemon, and it's just TB making friends with every legendary and mythical. One day they pull up and are accompanied by fucking Giratina (who is a sweetheart and I don't care if he's the Antimatter pokemon or considered the pokemon Satan, no one will convince of the contrary and I'll love him to the end of the time) who's there to spend time with his friend

-Gundam anon

Trailblazer WILL befriend all the Legendaries and Mythicals. They are going to be buddies. They will also drag their friends into it.

“Trailblazer thats basically a god-“

“So?? It wants pets and snacks. You gonna say no to that face?”

“… no.”

“Thats what I thought Silver Wolf. Now pet Zekrom.”

(Also you forgot anon again lol)

[stxrblazer]

I saw you were planning on making a post about an HSR and Pokemon crossover thing and as someone who is Completely Normal(tm) about both franchises

Please give tb a type:null/silvally. Or at the very least something like a porygon. But especially silvally.

Give that mf a pokemon who was made for a specific purpose that it couldn’t live up to originally. Give them a pokemon made to be a weapon that was too dangerous and had to be sealed away. Give them a pokemon that can realize its full potential only after bonding with its trainer.

Also now that I’m thinking about this more march having a fucking kyurem would be so fucking funny. Dragon that freezes itself bc it’s so cold trained by girl who was stuck in ice forever. And Kafka would 100% have an ariados or galvantula or some threatening spider mon. Fuck I can’t be team building for the entire cast rn I was gonna do shit tonight I need to be stopped.

-side quest anon

Great minds think alike! I gave Trailblazer a Silvally !! And ive also made 5 separate teams for each path. Ive gone a little mad.

Also obvs i had to give Kafka an ariados. Nobody got any legendaries besides Silvally though. I was.. incredibly tempted. But ngl its lowk funnier if they were just friends with the legendaries. And it’s alot easier to reconcile TB with Silvally if you consider a scenario where both were made the same place.. (not the aether foundation like in pokemon canon, bc this is a HSR focused au)

Ill post the actual post probably in the morning because im wanting to make some lil graphics lol. Lowk might make like, three separate posts though. 1 for the Express, 1 for the Hunters, and 1 for Trailblazer bc of the image limit.

I also did smth cute with the Stellaron Hunters’s teams lol.

Anyways, once again ive asked @little-leafy-bitches for assistance with naming this au. And they gave me another train related name.

“Gotta Train ‘Em All!”

They’re such a dork lmao.

[stxrblazer]

I’ve been looking at the Stellaron Hunter trailers and all of them have their IPC bounties listed, which made me think “wait a sec, what the hell would TB’s bounty be” which then got me thinking “wait a sec how the hell has no one recognized the TB” which then got me to two possibilities

TB was very very well hidden as a Stellaron Hunter, to the point that not even the IPC knew they existed

Memory wipe of a shit ton of ppl of the TB’s existence???? Maybe????

Maybe the TB looked very different???

Maybe this will be a question we will get an answer to eventually but like. Yeah. I wanted to ask your thoughts on this topic

That being said tho, either way, it is lowkey hilarious to imagine TB absolutely fucking shit up as a Stellaron Hunter and the IPC having no idea who the fuck is doing this and thus just. Never making a bounty. And then when TB (AE edition!) comes and continues their destructive reign, the IPC higher ups lowkey feel a sense of deja vu LOL

-shimmer anon

Ive recently made a post covering how I dont believe TB looking different actually. Somewhat different, like outfit/hairstyle, but still easily recognizable.

And tbh, between SW & Kafka, by all means a huge mindwipe is possible.

However, i think that 1 is the most likely.

The Stellaron Hunters are not only good at concealing their traces, but also dont have many issues with just.. killing to keep quiet.

Trailblazer also doesnt really seem to have gone on missions solo. Nope, they were always paired up with someone else.

So I imagine that they were meant to stay out of sight, or erase all traces of themself. By all means, not that hard to do with their partners.

And considering Kafka trained them herself, i imagine they’re capable of replicating her traces pretty damn well.

… including even footprints. Aka heels. Oh my god Trailblazer can so totally fight in heels. New hc, they put heels on and all of a sudden they’re genuinely lethal.

Moving on!

Basically.. Theres a very, very high likelihood, that Trailblazer’s actions have contributed to the others bounties.

Particularly I’d say Kafka & Firefly’s.

Silver Wolf is insistent on TB not knowing because the mf would ABSOLUTELY tease her about her score not even being entirely hers, and she would actually try to take them out at the kneecaps. (What? Its not like she can reach their neck well enough.)

[stxrblazer]

Oh my God, I cursed you with forbidden, eldritch knowledge about HSR DnD, I'm so sorry. (Thank goodness I didn't include the Heirs or anyone else specifically. Do not dare to talk, the knowledge has corrupted you enough! Or maybe you've always been idk)

But seriously, you really put a lot of thoughts on this, and damn, your knowledge on DnD puts mine to shame, I think mine is barely intermediate level. You really created an entire AU dear God.

Some of the idea for that ask also came from seeing lots of shorts from Legend of Avantris (I don't know if you know them), and the chaos in their tables made me think of Star Rail. TB and Silver Wolf would probably be having the time of their lives, playing with people that they consider family (with Wolfie is more the Hunters, but at this point the two Factions are one step to be a big family in a way)

Their reactions to TB character (also their character being a werewolf isnt somethinf a expected, but it weirdly fits) dying must be something, imagine they are just playing, having a difficult battle, and despite the tension, they'll be like, "It's fine, their character is gonna be fine" and then they fail the death saves and die and the session ends there with everyone just like "what?"

Also, I firmly believe that Kafka would try to get her character in a relationship on the game with Firefly and TB characters and her character be devastated by TB character dying (even in an DnD game she's a yearner, istg), yknow what, she probably would go for Himeko's character just for the lols.

I was gonna end this up asking about Star Rail with Pokemon (I mean, we did have a pokemon-like event, and there's the whole thing with Nexus Anima, but I like pokemon crossovers) buuuuuut I fear I granted to many forbidden ideas for now, have a good day ^^

-Gundam anon

atp trains & dragons is ending up as like. a modern day type au where TB & Silver Wolf’s previous campaign fell apart bc of drama like they are oft to do (its totally on Sampo & Sparkle) and they decided fuck it, their little more or less combined found family are all nerds and HUGE pushovers under the combined might of their puppy dog stare.

“I dont know how to play-“ “Pleaseeeee QwQ” “… fuck okay” repeated like 6 times. Welt heard “Wanna join a D&D campaign” and immediately agreed.

Elio is TB’s brother in this, bc fuck it i like the dynamic. TB asked him for help DMing bc they cant fully handle a group of 9 alone. Why would Elio say no? Half these people are his friends too.

Other characters show up as NPCs based off their friends. Sampo & Sparkle are their punching bags. Specifically of TB & SWs pcs. No they arent bitter wdym? (They are, they liked those pcs!)

Kafka is really just using the game as an excuse to aggressively flirt with her friends. “Would you stop that?!” “Himeko im a bard, its what they do~” she’s entirely just using it as an excuse. Multiple derailments are caused by her. Or her flirting with TB through an NPC and TB just sighing because well that was the wrong npc to flirt with..

Silver Wolf starts a campaign for TB to replace their favorite dice set with another after their first death because this is NOT the first time this has happened, and they know it. Nobody but Welt, TB, Elio and SW understood the pure devastation they’d feel at anoyjer pcs death. Especially considering i’d imagine it still wouldnt be super far into the campaign TB died the first time..

Its a campaign thats a mix of pure unhinged nonsense and also devastatingly emotional moments (both good and bad.) Like an amazing D&D campaign is gonna be ofc ofc.

OKAY OH MY GOD I GOTTA STOP. Im gonna go on forever. I might end up making a genuine fic atp lmao.

But yeah, ive been into dnd since i was a little kid. Like i was somewhere between 6-8 or so when my dad helped me make my first PC. Have I ever finished a campaign? Nope they keep falling apart on me lol.

Legends of Avantris is hysterical. I dont actually watch the campaigns, bc for some reason i struggle with watching campaigns.. but ngl i think that makes the clips and animations i see even better because i have no fucking context lmao. Or i DO and its also amazing.

And I in fact will be thinking about pokemon x hsr. Again in the context of AE & SH, i play favorites and now i will not be ashamed of that. Will i finish that post tonight..? Who knows.

Fun fact, back when we were on generation 6, i managed to memorize every single released pokemons name, evolution (and methods) and pokedex entry. Does that knowledge remain? PFFT, hah, hell no. Will that knowledge on occasion randomly resurface?? Yes. My family also still will ask me about pokemon, because tbh, theres a good chance ill be able to recognize a Pokemon off a description even if i dont have a bunch of info about them memorized.

How do you think kafblazerfly dynamics would be if they settled down? Like, when everything is over, they got their happy ending and no need for script or the Hunters no more (I think I may have made a similar question, but I still curious)

Also, the intrusive thoughts came back and forced me to think of a scenario where the three have a kid but, like, genetically from the three (like kid has the genes of the three, with Ruan Mei is most likely possible) (maybe my ideas get a little crazy some times)

Barring the likelihood of TB becoming an Aeon or beyond, I imagine they’d all remain on the Express together.

Tbh, i kinda imagine the Hunters all just moving in lmao. You think these guys are going to be functional alone?? Fuck that, they need to be in walking distance at all times. All of them have expressed an interest in the Express anyways (lmao).

Theres no way Trailblazer is going to step off that train willingly, and in a fully happy ending, they obviously wouldnt.

And Kafka and Firefly certainly wouldnt have any qualms about that. Trailblazer is in their element trailblazing, and they’re both downbad. Its not like they’re gonna be upset about going to more and more places.

I imagine it’d be very domestic. Like domestic enough to get everyone but like Welt to turn on them and tell them to cut it out because holy fucking shit.

March & Silver Wolf will boo at them anytime theres a lil too much PDA.

I say too much, because these lowk touch-starved mfs will be almost always touching in some way. Not constantly together, but if they are? Someones hair or hands are being played, a head is resting on a lap or shoulder or atop of anothers head, legs slung over a lap, just leaning into their side- always. touching. And ofc this all is perfectly acceptable. You think Silver Wolf and March arent nearly as bad themselves anyways? Silver Wolf will in fact steal the other Hunters lap (TB included) if its free to game in bc of lingering anxiety and also she’s a fucking softie.

Nah it when someone is pinning another to a couch full on making out that pillows and boos are thrown their way because fuck ‘get a room’ they HAVE a room!

They all share TB’s room. They were offered, and given their own rooms. Said rooms are decorated. Or, they’re utilized in ways other than a bedroom. They all use TB’s room. And the bed. TB sleeps in the middle 9/10, bc they’re warm and the other two are smaller.. and TB is absolutely hella comfortable to lay on. Have you seen them??? Both of them??? I wanna sleep on them.

Honestly it probably wouldnt be much different than how they lived pre-Blade. But like. With less morally dubious activities and looming doom over all of them.

It would genuinely just be painfully domestic.

And like, as annoying as the three can get, nobody else can actually be mad because this is what they deserve.

Kafka would probably still be ragebaiting Himeko. Character development or nah, i genuinely cannot imagine Kafka NOT ragebaiting Himeko.

Firefly and Trailblazer also genuinely cannot open any message from Kafka in public.. or at least if they arent against a wall and they make sure nobody above or to the side could see. You know why.

As for the child genetically related to all three..

I mean. Its not like a kid irl cant have two bio dads. Its rare but it can happen via chimerism.

trailblazers carrying the baby anyways. yes, regardless of if its caelus or stelle. no i am not taking criticism on this.

And also yeah no. Its HSR. It is entirely possible. Theres a Ruan Mei.

That kid is so totally coming with gray hair though. The odds arent in Kafka’s favor for her hair color.

Not that she cares - tbh she probably would want the kid to look like her partners. Trailblazer is the same. Firefly doesnt care in the slightest, she’s just terrified about ELS no matter the fact she’s cured and Ruan Mei has already guaranteed theres no chance of it, the anxiety will linger until the baby is born.

She would however be delighted by a little gold-eyed baby.

… ngl kafka and tb both want the kid to have Firefly’s kinda eyes, they are so fucking pretty.

kafblazerfly is such a cute ship man.. i love them so much… they spent (as far as we know!) centuries together (plus Elio) before Blade. their so doomed. undoom them. pls hoyo.
