I can't wait to see an outsider's reaction to Michael staring disappointingly at Gabriel because of how surreal it'll be to see a grown man tucking his head to a teenager.

Gabriel: He’s the oldest! :D

Michael does not look like the oldest. The one who looks the oldest now is arguably Gabriel, but he’s the youngest and isn’t that a hoot.

Snape: is he...

As soon as I saw Souji and Akira fighting in the PQ2 trailer, I immediately thought of you. Meanwhile as those 2 are fighting, Minato is fine chilling by himself and shooting his head with his evoker. No conflict with him.

Hot take: Minato teams up with Akira to fight Souji bc by the looks of the trailer that Souji might be a shadow.

Best part about that trailer was to finally see Akira confirmed as canon dumbass.

Who fends off a sword with a gun.

*Gasp!* Are you watching Fate/Zero?!?! If so, have you watched any other Fate series and what do you think of it so far? Did you know that there's a phone game called Fate/Grand Order that has a lot more Servants. I dare you to check out Thomas Edison. It'll blow your mind. I was actually about to recommend the Fate series to you, but I got distracted by RL. Also, I love your new theme.

I’m gearing myself to watch it!

Fate/Stay Night I just finished re-watching. (I seriously forgot how cool their fight scenes are - and the graphics are sooo preeety!!!)

Fate/Grand Order...OMG, there’s a GAME!!! don’t know if I have the time to play this, but youtube is a thing. OMG. Let’s stay cool, hallen. That’s the nicest thing I ever googled..

Thank you!!! I spent like, an entire day working on it. I’m proudest of my new Nav Page. It’s still under construction though. If you have some recommendations for it, I’ll see if I can do it.

Have you ever read or watched Bungou Stray Dogs?

I have not, but I’ve seen posts about it going around and it looks interesting. The animation is really pretty, at least.

I’m rereading your Melisande’s Daughter AU and while reading the oneshot where Janet died, I couldn’t help but wonder how different things will be for the Batfam. The Al Ghuls most likely know that Tim is Robin or will find out soon, so what’s Damian’s reaction to that? What about Jason? Jason in canon did after all beat Tim up and tried to kill him multiple times, but I can’t imagine Talia directing his rage towards Tim this time. Will the Al Ghuls send a secret security detail to Tim to follow him when he goes back to being Robin since now that Jannat died, they may be more protective of Tim? If Tim still doesn’t meet Ra’s and meets him at the same time as his canon self did, I can easily see Ra’s delighted (while Damian and Talia will be pissed when they find out) about finally meeting his grandson. Ra’s will probably still be creepy in Tim’s POV, but that’s hilarious. I am disappointed that the oneshot about Tim’s photo of his mother being stolen doesn’t have a continuation, but I completely understand that your RL is far more important and that your muse may have left you for this particular one shot. I hope things in your life is going well.

*blushing furiously* I am so, so flattered by the amount of thought you've put into this. I'm going to go open those WIPs and see what I can do with them.

(Pt 1) I've been reading your discussion on your Unpausing Life verse and I love every bit of it. I headcanon Kawahira and Skull's relationship to be one of those lovey-dovey types where they often give each other small gifts and go on dates while also having fun trolling others. So for the part about Kawahira's opinion on the Vindice rising, I can see it dropping so fast and dropping further than it was before. If only because the two of them often go on dates but the Vindice keep interrupting.

(Pt 2) The first few times it happened, Kawahira was just amused and led them on a merry chase. But after the tenth time or so, he just started getting pissed because he just wants to spend time with Skull and get laid. What is the relationship between Skull and the Vindice members anyways? Specifically, before they became Vindice, were they close friends since I don’t think that Skull played the fool multiple times?

(Pt 3)  If they’re fond of Skull (even if it’s in a “only we can be mean to him” way), what do they think of the current Arcobaleno? Will they try to reach out to them and ask for help in rescuing Skull and that’s how the Arcobaleno find out about Skull’s act if they didn’t find out about everything at party? Or would the Vindice dismiss them since they obviously too blind to notice someone’s act for a few decades? Do certain members of the Vindice brag about knowing the true Skull to them?

This was interesting to read so I hope you enjoy my rambling response under the read more link. I sorta headcanon these two as a semi-independent couple where they each have their own interests and hobbies, they like to do things together or apart, or they’ll just be in the same general vicinity while doing separate things. I think at the time I wrote Unpausing Life I had wanted an immortal(ish) couple that wasn’t codependent as is so common in fics.

(Little casual gifts or something sounds nice though. Like, “Hey! I’m back from the Amazon after five years –I developed food cravings– where did you put Oodako’s spare tank while I was gone? I brought some piranha as a keepsake.” or “I got you a shirt while I was out shopping.” “… Urðr… how long are you going to keep up the ramen jokes? You know my feelings about orange and that’s before we even get to the fact this Naruto shirt was made for a five year old.”)

As for the Vindice, I haven’t fleshed it out, but I’d like there to be some internal variation among them towards Skull (before and after they became Vindice) because they’re all individuals and different people have different dynamics. And I would need to reread the manga, but I don’t think their consideration for the Arcobaleno was all that involved: the Arcobaleno were just the latest group of suckers or something. They were balanced on that edge of “potentially like us/not like us yet”. The Vindice probably dismiss them mostly for being younger and weaker and not having the right priorities (as far as the Vindice are concerned) more than for not noticing Skull messing with them. After all, Skull is older and their peer with a lot of implied skill due to age. Dismissing the Arcobaleno as blind for not noticing his act implies that the Vindice think Skull’s act should be easy to correctly see through rather than the Arcobaleno thinking “this guy is so annoying and full of shit” and then ignoring him.

The Vindice also had a bit of tunnel blindness when it came to their resentment and determination for revenge (Night Flames, you know) so I think that might well be one of the primary ties binding their group together. Considering they are implied to have to maintain that thirst for revenge to continuing existing even now… it should make for weird reactions and dynamics. I’m not sure, I haven’t really thought about it in depth because my KHR interest waned and I’d probably have to read the manga before getting back into it.

However, I don’t think they’d brag about knowing the true Skull: partly because I got tired of that trope in fics but also because you brag when you want to show off how great you are or how proud or how lesser someone else is and… I don’t think the Vindice care? At least not about proving anything. Everyone already knows they’re trouble. They are essentially unbeatable. And another reason for bragging - to make someone else jealous - doesn’t really fit because I don’t think they care about the Arcobaleno’s thoughts and the Arcobaleno aren’t invested in knowing Skull anyway.

I don’t know if I said that clearly, but it’s one of the trends that bug me in KHR fics where Skull was some other person and the Arcobaleno find out and they’re all regretful or hurt or ???  It seems out of character for them. They’re not a cohesive, close knit group of friends who are invested in each other, and they’re mostly assholes to boot. Them finding out about Skull not being who he was (especially in Unpausing Life) would more likely result in “you are fucking what!?” and pissed off questions of whether Skull was colluding with Checkerface and lots of irritated realizations on exactly how much trolling that little shit did, I’m going to fill him full of holes and etc.

Anyway, I’m glad you’re having fun with the verse! (Sorry for the late reply)

I just noticed that you changed your theme since I mainly see your posts on my dashboard. I gasped and then squealed in joy because the picture in the banner is from Alice Madness Returns. What did you think of the game and its story/plot?

Lol I actually haven’t played the whole thing yet. One of my friends bought it recently and she let me play for a bit one day while I was over at her place. The plot so far is awesome though, I love the creepy psychological trauma theme, I am always down for anything Alice in Wonderland-themed, and the graphics are amazing. (Also the whole kitchen knife turned weapon is hilarious.)

If you're up for the three names and a number: Saber, Lancer, and Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night, Number 5

....Really? This is ridiculously hard.

Okay, so:

KILL: Gilgamesh. Okay, why Gilgamesh? Because I don’t want him to come back and murder me when I betray him and having him on my zombie apocalypse team gives me a headache. My only problem is supposed to be zombies only, not my teammate too.

BETRAY: Saber. She’ll understand....i think. I hope so. Oh gosh, at least the death will be quick. She’s nice like that.

HAVE ON YOUR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE TEAM: Lancer, because the guy is very loyal. And Noble. I’d trust him to have my back.
