Sorry for the Day Wait

Sorry everyone, I went to sleep early yesterday and it wasn’t until today that I remembered I need to post. I figured I’d just wait and put today’s post in it too. On to the posts (now it’s very early Saturday, go figure)

Tuesday

I started today by reading a few more chapters in Becoming a Man Among Men. Then I reread a Pokemon one-shot and the some chapters from the fanfiction it’s a sort of prequel to – ‘I Swear It’ and ‘The Master Challenge: Intro and Kanto Arcs’ both by NoSignalBlueScreen. I Swear It is a Ash/Misty story (They don’t get together but it deals more with them starting to acknowledge their feelings) that happens during the solo training trip mentioned in The Master Challenge. The Master Challenge is set after Kalos (though the author started writing at the beginning of Kalos) and Ash decides he needs to go on a solo training trip with his Pokemon to get stronger. A year later, the Master Challenge is announced and all of Ash’s friends/traveling companions & rivals show up to take it. It involves going through all of the regions to find something in each one, but wait, what is Team Rocket doing!? And what’s this about the gang’s parents? The author splits each of the regions into a separate fic. I like this author and all of his stories, there are more one-shots dealing with other characters and their backstories plus several longer fics I’ll mention later. NoSignalBlueScreen’s profile is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5500013/NoSignalBlueScreen. I Swear It’ link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10091012/1/I-Swear-It and The Master Challenge: Intro and Kanto Arcs’s link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10077502/1/The-Master-Challenge-Intro-and-Kanto-Arcs.

I also got a few new chapters today, the first is a Naruto story that happens after the “Finding Tsunade” arc called ‘The Unexpected Lord of Foxes’ by Solvdrage. Solvdrage is a fellow Naruto/Hinata shipper and has many stories with that paring. This one has the Hyuuga Elders deposing Hinata’s dad and planning to punish Hinata and Negi. Hinata gets to express her feelings to Naruto and he decides to help her and the clan out, with some (as mentioned in the title) unexpected help. I read the new chapter and started to reread the story (it’s only 12 chapters). The link to Solvdrage’s profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1094449/Solvdrage and the link to the fanfic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7032511/1/The-Unexpected-Lord-of-Foxes. The second new chapter I got was from a story I mentioned last post – ‘Skittering Campione’.

The last story I read was a Naruto and Bleach crossover named, ‘Kitsune of Las Noches’ by brown phantom. It has Gin and Kaname saving Naruto from a mob when he was young and training him along with Aizen and the Espada (This happens a while before the start of Bleach). He goes back to Konoha to become a Genin, see how his training and outlook change the Naruto universe. It’s a great fic from a great author. He has written almost 50 stories (Most of them Naruto) and their all good (even if there are more than a few unfinished). The link to brown phantom’s profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1634435/brown-phantom and the link to the fanfic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10726613/1/Kitsune-of-Las-Noches.

Other than some more time on Fate/Grand Order and KHUx, that’s all for today.

Wendesday

I didn’t read much today, but I did start rereading another Code Geass fanfiction ‘Code Geass: The Rise of the Black Prince’ by nanoman79. It’s an interesting story with the starting point that Lelouch & Nunnaly’s mother didn’t die and what would happen if they finished growing up in Britannia. It has 107 chapter and a sequel with some chapters, but the author hasn’t written anything since 2016. Not to say they don’t have good stories, but it always annoys me when people don’t finish their fics or at least give a good reason why they stop. The link to the fanfic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6151698/1/Code-Geass-The-Rise-of-the-Black-Prince.

Other than that, I got some new chapters. The first one is a Naruto & Harry Potter crossover called ‘A Ninja Summoned’ by Baleygr. It has Harry being transported to the Naruto verse when he was young (which runs 2 times faster than the Harry Potter verse), becoming a ninja, going through the Naruto timeline before the main part of the fanfiction and marrying a female Naruto. After all this in the prologue, an adult Harry is summoned by the Goblet of Fire from in front of his wife to participate in the Tri-wizard Tournament. Follow Harry and the team that comes from Konoha in their adventures in the Potter verse! It’s on it’s fifth chapter and if good. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12584637/1/A-Ninja-Summoned.

The next new chapter is the next story by Seerking – ‘Worm – Justice for All’. It’s a crossover between Worm and the Japanese light novel series “Infinite Dendrogram”. Infinite Dendrogram is about a young man who starts a VR game that gives each player an Embryo that evolves as the player grows. The main character gets a rare type that looks human a Type-Maiden. This fanfic has Taylor getting a Type-Maiden Embryo. The first arc of the story was already posted on his plot bunny story – Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies That Won’t Stop Bugging Me, but he’s edited it and is posting the chapters in his line up (it’s only on the second now). The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12930247/1/Worm-Justice-For-All.

The last one is from a series I haven’t mentioned yet, the supposed rival of Pokemon, Digimon. Digimon is a show with multiple series with different ‘digidestined’ who partner up with a digimon to save the human and digital world. They’re not all in the same universe. It’s called ‘Crossing Boundaries, Second Edition’ by Yua-hime. The author is remaking their older fic. It deals with Kuroku and Clockmon gathering the digi-destined from the other plots for the ending of Fusion. It mostly focuses on Daisuke, how he is treated and others think of him. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13049841/1/Crossing-Boundaries-Second-Edition.

The last thing for today was that I was reminded I saw Mission Impossible: Fallout this weekend. I liked it because it tied all the other movies together. The bad guy was way to easy to spot though and the plot was fairly standard. To sortof quote Smosh Games’ Honest Trailer, ‘Running, dangling, then more running’. If you haven’t seen Honest Trailers: go to YouTube and search for Honest Trailers, they’re really funny. The link to Smosh Games’ channel is – https://www.youtube.com/user/SmoshGames.

That’s it for today – see you on the next post – right now.

Thursday

So as I mentioned at the top, I’m writing this on Friday (sorry again). I remember yesterday fairly well, so on to it.

Yesterday was mostly filled with Code Geass: The Rise of the Black Prince and finishing The Unexpected Lord of Foxes, but I did get two new chapters. The first one I’ll mention was ‘The Lady of the Flies’ by InsanityIncarnate90 and is a Worm and High School DxD. At the end of Worm, Taylor is dropped into the DxD verse and is reincarnated into a devil by a young Rias Gremory. See how Taylor changes things. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12586479/1/The-Lady-of-the-Flies.

The second one is a fic called ‘Out of Time’ by Saint Danielle. It is a My Hero Academia fanfiction. For those who don’t know it, it deals with a senior middle school student named Izuku who is powerless in a world where those having no having powers are the minority. He studies heroes and wants to be one, but is looked down on for it. He impresses his hero, All Might, who passes his ‘Quirk’ (what powers are called) on to him (the only one that can be passed on). Watch Izuku take on the name, Deku, and study to become a great hero with others, while dealing with supervillains. In Out of Time, Izuku is one of the first heroes and on his final battle, he disappears. He reappears many years later, during the original stories time, and has to figure out how to adapt while figuring out who the bad guys really are. It’s only three chapters, but it’s good. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12942482/1/Out-of-Time.

That’s it for yesterday, no to today.

Friday

Once again not much, mostly Code Geass: The Rise of the Black Prince, I’m on chapter 61. I got new chapter for previously mentioned fics: Taylor Varga, Mauling Snarks and Elemental Sky. I also started a completely new fanfic, ‘Child of the Storm’ by Nimbus Llewelyn. It’s a crossover between Harry Potter and The Avengers (Marvel verse). It happens in Year 3 (now in 2013) of HP and in 2013 Marvel movie verse (but Loki is good now). Thor was James Potter with his memories erased, but was killed before a merging could be done. His memories were blocked because he went mad and is only reminded of them when Harry mentally calls for help as he’s falling from his broom in the match with Dementors. Loki reminds Thor and the story happens. Read for more at – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8897431/1/Child-of-the-Storm. I’m only a few chapters in, but it’s good.

I also started rereading a Bleach fic called ‘Ichigo Awakens’ by Teloch. It has Ichigo saving his mother (Though she’s now in a coma) when he is young and starts training to take on Aizen and Ywatch. It’s a really good fic. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11899396/1/Ichigo-Awakens.

That’s it for today, though it just turned 12 so it’s now Saturday. Whatever, I WILL post on Monday. See you then!

A Diverse Weekend

Friday –

Today was an interesting day as I went through many fanfiction to find one that would keep my attention. I’ve had this problem before, either I have to find something else to do or I find a fanfiction that can keep my attention. This one lead me through several including several whose original stories I haven’t mentioned here yet. I finished reading Heroes Assemble! and then moved onto ‘Skittering Campione’ by Greatazuredragon. It’s a crossover between Worm (Skitter is Taylor’s first cape name) and a series called Campione!. It was a light novel then became an anime that only has one season so far. The main character (Godo Kusanagi) is a normal high school student until on trip he finds himself in a fight between two gods who have become ‘Heretic’ (meaning they rebel against being wherever they normally are and cause destruction to the world). Through a set of unlikely circumstances (Or the most obvious circumstances if you look at how often that happens in stories), Godo defeats one of the Gods with the help of a ‘witch’ and becomes a Campione or God Slayer. This means he gets power from the God(s) he defeats. Look it up, it’s good.

Anywho, in the fanfiction at the end of Worm, Taylor is transported to Campione! universe and is transformed in a campione because of her defeat of the big bad of her universe. Watch as her actions change the Campione! universe for the good, funny and weird. It’s only 14 chapters so far and the link the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12051295/1/Skittering-Campione.

I went through a few one shots after that and only one was interesting, but it was an omake of a conversation in another fanfiction that would only take longer to go through, so I’ll talk about the omake when I read that fanfiction. The next one I actually read was ‘A Growing Affection’ by Xavon Wrentaile. It is a Naruto fanfiction. Like Harry Potter is the top of the Book section of FF.net in number of stories, so is Naruto the top of the Anime section. I’m actually surprised it too me this long to get to a Naruto story. For those of you who don’t know, Naruto is about a young boy who wants to became a ninja and the leader of his village, the Hokage. The only thing wrong with that is that most of the village hates him because he has a great monster (The Kyuubi) sealed in his gut through no fault of his own. Watch or read as this boy goes through hard work, teachers who barely teach him anything, getting hit by teammates, betrayal, hate, anger and many other things to save the world and gain the love and affection of the village that hated him (Yeah like KHR, I have some issues with the way the main character is treated. I mean his godfather doesn’t even come in until after the first few arcs and it’s never even mentioned that he’s his godfather until later when we find out who his parents were in the sequel story set three years after the original story ends.) There’s also now a story about the new generation out too, Boruto.

Moving on the fanfiction is set in the sequel story Naruto Shippuuden and follows an alternate storyline and focuses on Naruto getting together with Hinata (my favorite pairing that’s also canon) and dealing with the issues around him. It’s good and is finished with 170 chapters. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3916565/1/A-Growing-Affection. I also read a new chapter of Mauling Snarks (it comes out every Friday and Monday).

I started another new story with a new original story, but since this one is already fairly long, I’ll talk about it tomorrow. Which you’ll be able to see right away ^_^

Saturday

So I’ll start off the story I mentioned in yesterday’s part, ‘Soul Chess’ by draconichero21. This a one of favorites and it is a crossover between Code Geass and Bleach. Bleach, for those who don’t know, is like Naruto as being one of most popular mangas/animes of the past generation (as the original generation of Naruto is finished anyway). It’s about Ichigo Kurosaki a high school student who can see ghosts. He has a run in with a Hollow (Monster spirits who want to eat you) and a Shinigami (‘Good’ spirits who have the power to purify Hollows and send ghosts to the afterlife) named Rukia Kuchiki. He ends up becoming a Shinigami and gets involved in (Wouldn’t you know it) a plot to save the world (because the afterlife is crap and nobles who don’t care about people run it). Other than my personal issues with the governing system of the afterlife (Soul Society), this is a good story. Though it gets convoluted in the last arc.

In the fanfiction, Lelouch from Geass ends up in the Soul Society long before even the flashbacks in Bleach. Watch as his actions change things, for better or worse. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you’ve at least watched Code Geass and possibly a bit of Bleach too. It’s 208 chapters and a teaser for a remake fic with more crossover characters in it to be at sometime in the future. The link to the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953451/1/Soul-Chess. I only read a few chapters of it for now along with a few Ashes of the Past chapters.

I also reread the fanfiction ‘Pick up the Pieces and Move On’ by the first author I mentioned, Umei no Mai. It’s a sequel to the fic ‘Pick up the Pieces and Take Stock’ and they both deal with the after story of KHR through the lens of Xanxus in dealing with a ‘father’ who can’t see how he wronged Xanxus, a to-be leader who doesn’t know anything and doesn’t want the job and all the mental and physical issues he’s got because of his upbringing and the KHR story. They’re both good stories that are 8 chapters each with a third and final story in the works that Umei no Mai will finish before continuing Black Sky. The link to Take Stock is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12963516/1/Pick-up-the-Pieces-and-Take-Stock and the link to Move On is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13014658/1/Pick-up-the-Pieces-and-Move-On.

I read more than 20 chapters of Growing Affection and a new chapter for the story, ‘Stark Imprint’ by Arthur Hansen which is a crossover story between Worm and Ironman. One of Tony Stark’s suits ends up in the Worm universe and when Taylor finds it (a few years before Worm’s start), it downloads a copy of his brain into hers. She gets his memories and talents while remaining herself and becomes a non-powered cape in the Worm-verse. It’s good and the link the 7 chapter story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12971451/1/Stark-Imprint.

That’s all I read today, so I’ll see you in a few seconds on Sunday.

Sunday

Today I went to a small birthday dinner for a church friend and learned that her granddchild has written fanfiction and is on FF.net. I haven’t read either of their stories, but their user name is DesertAnubis. There is a Dragon Ball Z fic (that’s been abandoned after 35 chapters) and a new Yu-Gi-Oh! fic that has been finished IRL, but is slowly being posted. The link to their profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2078100/DesertAnubis.

I read some more Soul Chess and Growing Affection, but other than that I just have a story I started rereading and a new chapter for a story I haven’t mentioned yet. The story is called ‘Broken Dreams’ by ThunderReborn and is a Bleach story where after the Winter War, things are different and Ichigo gains his enemy’s sword and most powerful tool. He is trained by them and his own sword while everyone thinks he’s powerless and ignores him. When he graduates high school he walks away and has several crossovers (starting with High School DxD). It’s not for everyone and remember the phrase “Don’t like, Don’t read”. It’s one I follow. Anywho, the link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11877799/1/Broken-Dreams.

The new chapter is from the fanfiction ‘ Mending the Knots’ by azndrgn (the author who I’m editing for on another story). It’s a RWBY story where Jaune doesn’t get into Beacon and starts a massage business. It’s fun and still has your favorite characters in it. The main reason I didn’t read much else is that I got the app Fate/Grand Order (from the same universe as Fate/Stay Night [though without the rated R stuff]). I got caught up in it, KHUx and PoGo (I finally moved on to the fourth set of the Celebi quests). See you tomorrow when I actually post all this.

Monday

So as usual for today, I read the new chapter of Mauling Snarks. I also spent time on Fate/Grand Order and KHUx again. I also reread two stories by SeerKing that are finished or not currently being worked on. They are ‘RWBY – Poison Promise’ and ‘RWBY – Flame of Atonement’. In the first one, Ruby is posioned and it deals with finding who did it and curing her. The second one deals with the aftermath. Poison Promise done at 10 chapter and Flame of Atonement is on hiatus at 4 chapters. The link to Poison Promise is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11733770/1/RWBY-Poison-Promise and the link to Flame of Atonement is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12147659/1/RWBY-Flame-of-Atonement

I read sakurademonalchemist’s newest story (Again not finishing any of their older ones) ‘Elemental Sky’ in which a female Tsuna learn that she is cousins with the Sand Siblings from Naruto (Temari, Kankaro, and Gaara) and goes to visit them (at a time before the chunin exams). The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13036342/1/Elemental-Sky.

I also started rereading the story ‘Becoming a Man Among Men’ by Dragon6. It is based on the Ranma 1/2 story which is about Ranma, a high school aged martial artist who accidentally falls into a cursed pool that causes him to become an aquatransexual (which means he turns into a girl when hit by cold water and back to a boy when hit by hot water). He is then forced to agree to marry one of three daughters of his (abusive, thieving, lying, habitually agreeing to marriage contracts for his son for silly things) father’s friend. Ranma has to deal with multiple fiancees, men who are after said fiancees and people who blame him for what his father did (I swear, I have not seen a story with so many character with daddy issues and some mommy issues). Becoming a Man Among Men has Ranma reading his father’s journal after becoming an aquatransexual and learns of all of his father’s misdeeds and his planning to marry him to his friend’s daughter. He then decides to make his own martial arts school and not do anything his father wants. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6492923/1/Becoming-a-Man-Among-Men.

Thanks for reading this long post, don’t forget to comment or send me a message if you want to know more about what I’ve talked about or if you want to recommend a story/TV show/movie something to me. See you again on Thursday!

The New Normal

Hello everyone! As the title indicates, after today’s post things are going to change. After reading some of The Art of Blogging’s posts since my post yesterday, I decided that I needed to have more time between my posts to allow each post time to be the top post. Since I proved that I can post every day for a week, I’m going to change it to posting twice a week. This doesn’t mean I won’t be writing each day for the blog, just that I will only post what I’ve written twice weekly. This means I will have multiple days posts in one post, so be warned they may be a bit longer than my posts have been so far.

I read a few chapters of Ashes of the Past today, but the main fanfiction that I’ve read since the last post is ‘Heroes Assemble!’ a Harry Potter/Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) & Marvel Universe (MU) crossover by Stargon1. Anyone who does not know about the MCU can look it up and watch the movies, there’s way too much there to try and cover in this post (I mean there have been ten years worth of movies with more to come). I mention the MU because characters and situations in the story are not or have not yet been shown in the MCU (like Squirrel Girl and the fact that they use the second set of Spiderman movies not the one in the MCU).

The premise of Heroes Assemble! is that after a few years as an auror, Harry decided everything was too much (he’s not with Ginny in this one and she’s one of the reasons he leaves, there is no pairing for him yet) and left to travel the world for 5ish years. The last inhabited continent he goes to is North Amercia and decides to by a place in New York City to use as staging place. It ends up turning into a pub and Harry is around during the attack of the Chitauri and puts on dragonhide clock to help out and ends up an Avenger. Watch as his presence changes the MCU in fun and interesting ways. I would definitely recommend all 66 of the current chapters. It hasn’t gotten to Avengers 2 yet, but it’s getting closer. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12307781/1/Heroes-Assemble.

I haven’t read anything else today, but I figured I’d mention a fun anime that only has one season so far, but will most likely have more eventually (the artist for the show was caught tracing the characters from other shows and production it stalled). It’s called No Game, No Life. It started off as a light novel series (that has been released in the United States), but became an anime and manga. It has a set of stepsiblings, Sora and Shiro, who are genius shut-ins that play and dominate games that play as the undefeated [] or Blank. They are challenged to a game by a mysterious entity and when they win, are transported to a world were every thing has to be decided by games (by the rule of the God that brought them there). They aim to defeat everyone and challenge said God. It’s funny and worth watching/reading, be sure to look it up.

That’s it for today, look for me to post on Monday and Thursdays from now on. If this is the first post of mine you’ve read, feel free to read the posts from my first week. In them I talk about many fanfictions and the stories they originate from. See you on Monday!

Seventh Day

Wow, with today’s post I will have posted every day for a week. Wednesday is also one of my favorite days because one of my favorite fanfiction authors posts today. His user name is Seerking and he has many stories from many stories. He has a 12 week schedule where he posts to one story in the list in order every week today. There are stories that are on pause for now, but 12 stories is a lot to concentrate on anyway.

The one he posted to today was ‘Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji.’ The story its based off of is called “Zero no Tsukaima” or “Familiar of Zero” and is the story of a young man from earth (Saito), summoned to another world by a mage who usually can only cause explosions (Louise the Zero). The young man can’t do much, but his skills are slowly revealed and his helps his master defend her home. In the fanfiction though, Saito has been trained to be an Onmyoji (talisman user) before he is summoned and uses his skills to help Louise and try to break the familiar bond and return home.

I’ll talk about the rest of his fanfics as the weeks go on or I reread them. The link to the fanfic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10090792/1/Zero-no-Tsukaima-Saito-the-Onmyoji. The link to Seerking’s profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4583733/SeerKing.

Moving on, I finished rereading Recoil and went through my drives to find the reading fanfiction I had started for it and started editing it again. After I started the second actual reading chapter, I realized I need more characters. So, I went through and made physical copies of the notes of things to change on a printed copy of the story, but never made the changes. Therefore, currently I am making those changes and once I get to chapter ten of the reading I’ll start posting it once or twice a week. This is so I have some backlog in case I can’t write a chapter for some reason, so look forward to it because I will definitely tell y’all when I post it!

I reread a fanfiction called ‘Play Fake, Kwami’ by Raydara12. This is a “The Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir” fanfiction. For those who don’t know about the show it is a French animated show about two middle school kids (Marinette and Adrian) getting jewelry and small talking animal that allow them to become Ladybug and Chat Noir (it’s pronounced ‘Cat Noir’ if you didn’t know) to defeat the villain Hawk Moth’s victims while dealing with middle school life and crushes (Marinette has one for Adrian and Chat Noir has one for Ladybug). Oh and did I forget to mention that they don’t know each other’s secret identities. It’s definitely marketed more of young girls, but it’s a good show anyway.

In the fanfiction (which is only 7 actual chapters even though it says 10) Marinette’s talking animals Tikki (which are called Kwami) is accidentally revealed and pretends to be a toy. Adrian reveals his Kwami (Plagg) to help her and they realize who the other is. After getting together, they decide to prank Hawk Moth … read to find out how! Here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12383399/1/Play-Fake-Kwami.

I also rewatched the first episode of a silly anime called “Servant x Service.” It’s about some newcomers to the Japanese Civil Service office and their coworkers. The main character, who I’ll just call Yamagami for now, joins in order to find the person who allowed her parents to name her. Her full name (as we know it) is – Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Chihoko Ayano Fumika Chitose Sanae Mikiko Ichika Yukino Reina Eri Ai Tamiko Chikage Emilia Julia Shizue Erina Chisa Yumeka Natsuki Ranran Rieko Setsuri Chikako Azumi Marina Hideko Chiaki Misaki Naomi Campbell Miku Yuka Masako Sachiko Nana Mutsumi Haruka Yuna Shimako Yukie Rin Sakura Kanna Wakana Hazuki Honami Ruri Mihane Momoka Himari Nozomi Futaba Mayuyu…(still continues)…Yamagami. Yeah, I’m not kidding. Yutaka Hasebe is a fellow newcomer who likes to tease her and slack off. The anime is about them living their lives and learning how to be civil servants. Look it up if it sounds fun to you!

I also read a chapter in Ashes of the past and an omake for Taylor Varga that involved Doctor Who. I also finally got to the 3rd set of the Celebi quests on PoGo this morning, but now I have to hatch 9 eggs. It will be a little bit before I get that as I have mostly 5, 7, and 10 km eggs currently. Nothing else to say today. Look forward to posting tomorrow in the new week!

Sixth Day

Hello again everyone! Wow, tomorrow I will have posted on this blog for a full week. Today was mostly a day filled with reading more chapters of Recoil and finishing rereading the High School DxD fic whose name I will not mention outside an R rated section (it only has 11 chapters so far). I did however read a few new chapters from a fanfiction authors I haven’t mentioned yet.

The name of the fanfic is ‘Service with a Smile’ and is an RWBY fic by Coeur Al’Aran. He has written many long length RWBY stories (with the character Jaune Arc as the main one), including a few over 60 chapters. Service with a Smile is one of a set of three stories that start off with the consequences of his forged transcripts. This one deals with them not being good enough and him not getting in. ‘In the Kingdom’s Service’ deals with him getting in, but the transcripts getting a type of secret service suspicion and being forced to join. The last one, ‘Professor Arc’, his transcripts are too good and the school hires him as a assistant teacher instead. He has others, but those are the ones connected to the one I read a chapter of today. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12606073/1/Service-with-a-Smile, and the link to Coeur Al’Aran’s profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6272865/Coeur-Al-Aran.

I read a new chapter yesterday from the story ‘Code Geass: Roar of the Rebellion’ by RyoshiMorino. It’s a crossover fanfiction between Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and several Zoids animes. Code Geass is an anime where Great Britain was chased from their islands by Napoleon and took over the colonies. They then became a superpower and have begun taking over most of the world except China and Europe. Lelouch’s, the eleventh prince, mother (one of the king’s consorts) was killed and his sister hurt. However, when he demanded his father do something about it (he’s only eleven), he and his wheelchair bound younger sister, Nunnally, to Japan as bargaining tools. Britannia then invades not too much later and the two are thought to be dead. Years later, Lelouch gets accidentally caught up in a terrorist attack and encounters a girl who gives him a power. Using this power, he joins up with the Japanese terrorists and begins a rebellion to defeat his father and find out who murdered his mother. Oh, and there are giant humanoid fighting robots too.

Code Geass is one of my favorite animes. Not only is it a great story, but the ending and symbolism it entails is beyond words in my opinion. I’m not sure how I feel about the new season/movie that is coming out next year (I think), it really depends on how they play it past the ending.

Zoids also includes giant fighting robots, but these instead are animal shaped, somewhat sentient, and the main character usually pilots a Liger zoid. I remember watching Zoids – Chaotic Century when I was younger and enjoying it. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12249519/1/Code-Geass-Roar-of-the-Rebellion.

The last of the new chapters I read today was from a story called ‘Bits and Bobs’ by Epeefencer. It is a story of currently 218 chapters made up of short snippets of story of Harry and Ginny’s lives (Harry Potter), mostly not connected, but in the most recent chapters have included R rated content (so people know). I’m a huge fan of Epeefencer’s stories and have read all of them (all Harry/Ginny stories). He hasn’t been posting much recently, but there is a lot of stories to get through if you’re new to his stories. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11721825/1/Bits-Bobs, and the link to Epeefencer’s profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2505393/Epeefencer.

I think that is everything for today. Look forward to the week anniversary of my blog tomorrow!

Fifth Day

Hello mina (everyone in Japanese)! Today was also short on reading time, but not just because I didn’t have time. Part of it was that I messed around on my computer and watched all the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood openings and another part was that I spent time with other people raiding on PoGo because – The Celebi quests are up! One of the first set of quests was to battle in a raid and on my local PoGo chat they were talking about a Regirock raid happening nearby. So I drove over and we won the raid, but I didn’t catch it. However, there was another one half an hour later I was also in that we won and I caught that one. Yay, because it was my first one! On the other hand, in the second set of Celebi quests it wants you to catch at least one Pokemon for three days so I can’t advance until Wednesday.

The most recent reason I was short on reading time was that for over two hours Fanfiction.net was offline. Shortly after I started writing it came back on and I’ve read that it was because the location that the servers for it are located had a power outage. I was rereading a fanfic called ‘Recoil’ by an author I mentioned yesterday, ack1308, that’s about Worm. I’d actually gotten permission a while back to make a reading fanfiction about this story. I started and got the prestory and the first chapter done, but I stopped and I want to get started again now that I’ve thought of it again. It’s a everything goes wrong story that ends up with Taylor going back in time 22 years to try to fix it. Definitely recommend it. Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10286919/1/Recoil. I also read a new chapter for the previously mentioned story – Mauling Snarks and a few mins ago got an email telling me that Taylor Varga has also been updated!

A story that I am one of the betas for updated with a new chapter. The story is called ‘History’s Strongest Disciple Again?’ by azndrgn. It is based on the manga/anime called “History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi” or “Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple”. In this, a high school loser joins a martial arts school (mostly because of the hot granddaughter of one of the Masters but also because he gets beat up a lot), learns multiple disciplines and gets caught up in the martial arts world’s battle between light and dark. It’s a good series. azndrgn is also a great writer and has many fanfics, mostly having to do with RWBY. The link to the fanfiction is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12836761/1/History-Strongest-Disciple-Again and the link to azndrgn’s profile is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6509808/azndrgn.

R rated content

Okay, I had to put that up not only because of the content of the story (both the original and the fanfiction) but because of the title itself – ‘Go Away I’m Watching Porn’ by another author I previously mentioned Third Fang (and the main character actually does say that within the first few chapters). Now with a title like that you would think that it involves porn, it does just not in the story so far (as in characters having sex), but it is mentioned and referenced a lot. This is because, even in the original story, the main character Issei is obsessed with breasts and creating his own harem. No, you did not read me wrong, a harem. The original story is called “High School DxD” and was originally a light novel and then became a manga and anime.

Go Away I’m Watching Porn starts long before the main storyline of DxD and involves a OC (Original Character) from the other of his main stories, whose name is Ghost. He gets involved with Issei for various reasons and screws up the universe (which he often does) so much that instead of enjoying High School after the time skip to the time of the main storyline, Issei is instead a shut in who has issues with crowds and being touched. It’s amusing and serious, so it’s very good. Here is the link for those brave (or stupid) enough to read it – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12334209/1/Go-Away-I-m-Watching-Porn.

R rated content

Other than reading a chapter and a quarter of Ashes of the Past, I think I’ve covered everything from today. Thanks for reading and talk to you tomorrow!

Fourth Day

Hello, everyone! As has been established by the last few titles, I am not a great namer. I’ll try to have better titles, but I feel for the first week I’m going to follow this trend. It just wouldn’t feel right. Or you know it just might be my having watched Skyward Wing playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days recently and the summer quest in Kingdom Hearts Union x also saying what day you’re playing in, who knows?

Anywho, I jumped around a lot today in what I read. I did read a few chapters of Ashes of the Past and got up to start of chapter 33, when Ash gets a rematch against Richie in the Indigo League (not that Richie knows it’s a rematch, but whatever). I interrupted that with rereading a Worm fanfic called ‘I, Panacea’ by ack1308 on fanfiction.net. I think he has a different user name on AO3, but I don’t remember what it is at this moment. I just checked to make sure, but all of his fics include the Worm story and he is one of my favorite Worm fic writers. This one is a sequel to a physical self-insert story called ‘Security’ and has the author’s character from that story mentally inserted into a Worm character’s head alongside her, namely Panacea. She is one of the main characters that is in bad situation that gets worse and eventually breaks her. Some people love her, some people hate her, but she is a popular character to get help in fanfics. Definitely recommend these two fics (though I, Panacea is not finished), their ‘sequel’ ‘I, Scion’ (which is a 3 chapter silly fic) and all of his fics.

Next, reread a few chapters from the fic ‘From Fake Dreams’ by Third Fang including the latest chapter. From Fake Dream is set in the Fate/Stay Night storyline of the TYPE-MOON universe. Fate/Stay Night is a Japanese visual novel/Eroge (which means it might include sex and sexual themes) that has anime adaptations of it.

I’m going to pause here. Just to be clear, in this blog I am not going to talk about porn or sex. I am however going to be talking about stories that have that in them. So that anyone who is underage or doesn’t want read about such things is happy, I will post R rated content, before and after the topic, like this.

R rated content

Anyway, while there are sex and sexual themes in the visual novel, it’s not a main staple in either it or From Fake Dreams.

R rated content

Fate/Stay Night has three main storylines you can follow to get one of three girls: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven’s Feel. There are variations of these storylines, but they don’t really matter to this discussion. I mention this because in From Fake Dreams, long before the main story, the father of the main character (Shiro Emiya) Kiritsugu Emiya has dreams of those storylines and the storyline one of the main characters Archer. Based on this information (which he does verify as much as he can), he sets things up so that his son can survive and defeat all the world-ending threats (and fulfill some personal wishes too). Things don’t exactly work out like Kiritsugu hopes, but when does it ever. Still a great story that has 52 great chapters with more incoming. He also has several other great stories that I will talk about later (including one tomorrow because there’s already going to be a lot on here for today).

Moving on finally to something other than fanfiction and anime, I watched the movie Alpha in theaters today. I really liked it, but those who don’t like subtitles shouldn’t see it because all dialogue in the movie is subtitles. I don’t actually know the name of the language they were using, but it’s set 20,000 years ago so who knows. Well, I could (and probably will) look up the language. See I even did it in the middle of that sentence (it’s fictional). Moving on, I thought it was a great movie with stunning visuals and sounds that really capture the wilderness of long ago. For those who don’t know about the movie, it’s about a the chief’s son trying to get home after an accident and befriending a wolf along the way. Thus the wolf/dog became man’s best friend. The film does a good job of showing the story rather than speaking it. I would definitely recommend it.

Well, that’s all for today, look forward to seeing y’all tomorrow (as it were). Have a good night!

Third Day

Hello, guys and gals! Didn’t read much today because I had some other things to do today. However, I did read 23 chapters of Ashes of the Past, the fanfiction I mentioned yesterday. By the 24th chapter Ash already has the 8 badges for the Kanto region (Red, Blue & Yellow games) and should get to the first movie soon (the author includes the movies in the story).

Yesterday I also read a Harry Potter one shot fanfiction (with only one chapter). It was called ‘In the Heat of the Night’ by Brennus, who is a writer of slightly darker Harry/Ginny stories. This one is about Ginny having to pay the consequences for her parents breaking the law on Dumbledore’s orders in a different storyline. It has a happy ending, in a way, but not for everyone. He has several other Harry Potter stories (all Harry/Ginny), a RWBY two part series and a Darker than BLACK fic. The link to his page is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4577618/Brennus.

For those who don’t know, RWBY is an online animated show by Rooster Teeth. It follows Team RWBY, a group of four girls named Ruby, Weiss, Blake & Yang, and their friends through school training to hunt beasts called Grim. The characters are based off of fairy tale characters: Ruby (Red Riding Hood), Weiss (Snow White), Blake (Beauty & and the Beast) & Yang (Rapunzel or Goldie Locks). However, they are badass! I mean, Ruby has a huge scythe that can turn into a gun! It’s definitely worth watching. Here is a link to the first episode – https://roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-season-1-episode-1. Watching the four trailers for it is also worth it, one of each of the main leads. Here is the link to the first trailer – https://roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-season-1-red-trailer. Rooster Teeth has quite a few other shows that are really good, like Red vs Blue, so take a look at them too. I can talk about Darker than BLACK and Red vs Blue on a later post.

The last thing I’ll mention is that for those who like anime theme songs and would like to hear an English Version of some of your favorite ones old and new, a YouTuber with the channel name of LeeandLie does that. She has english versions of the Japanese Digimon theme, Full Metal Alchemist themes (original and Brotherhood), and many more. Here is a link to her YouTube channel – https://www.youtube.com/user/LeeandLie. You can also buy albums by her on iTunes under the name Amalee. Check her out if you’re interested.

Wow, I think this is my shortest post yet. See everyone tomorrow!

The Second Day

Hello everyone. You’ll be exited to know that I finished Black Sky and am going to move onto a new story! I’ve decided to reread a fanfiction that I haven’t been keeping up with recently called ‘Ashes of the Past’. It’s a time travel Pokemon fanfiction by Saphroneth. It’s another longer fanfiction that with the newest chapter today has 279 chapters. The premise is that the main bad guys from Diamond and Pearl [DP] (Team Galactic not Team Rocket because while the main trio was somewhat competent in Black & White or Best Wishes [BW], they’re basically a joke) fulfills their goal at the end of BW while Ash isn’t around and destroys the universe. Ash is chosen (as usual) to go back with his memories and stop their plans by Arceus (the Pokemon God that was not ‘Lord Helix’). He gets a crash course in aura (which was basically ignored after being introduced) and goes back to start of his journey. Luckily, aura allows him to remind his friends and Pokemon of their memories up to the end of BW (and allows him to understand Pokemon). It’s very silly and has only really gotten serious in the latest chapters now that it has gotten to the DP storyline. The link to it is – http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7262793/1/.

Before I talk about the rest of what I did today, I wanted to have a rant. Now I like Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn (KHR), but there are so many things wrong with the way the main character is brought up and treated that I was reminded of in Black Sky. Before people start going on about how it’s only a story, let me say this – kids read or watch these stories and are affected by how characters (especially the main one) act and are treated.

Tsunayoshi or Tsuna is the main character of KHR. When he activates his inherited ability at the age of five, his father convinces his boss (a mafia boss) to seal it because he doesn’t want his kid in the mafia (because the ability is only used by mafia). This is great because what father wants his kid in the mafia, never mind that said father is in the mafia himself, is never home, and tells his wife and kid that he’s off being ‘a star’. What a great example of a father, not!

Putting that aside, sealing what is considered his Will either made him clumsy and unable to concentrate or he had a disability and no one ever did anything about it. This leads to him being bullied by students and teachers and given the nickname “No-Good Tsuna.” What does his mother, the only parent he really knows, say to this? “What did I do to have such a no-good son.” Wow mom, what a job of parenting you’re doing. Then the other main character shows up, Reborn.

Reborn was sent to teach Tsuna how to become the next boss of an Italian mafia because the mafia boss that sealed him (which Tsuna didn’t know about and which isn’t even released until later in the series) three son’s have all gotten killed and he’s the only Heir left. This is ignoring that he’s a Japanese civilian who is thirteen years old that has been bullied and ignored by his father and looked down upon by his mother. Also, who would want to be the Heir of a mafia family that can’t even keep it’s own Heirs safe?

Now, knowing all this does Reborn (who looks like a baby and claims to be the “Greatest Hitman”) help him work through his problems? Yes, by shooting him with bullets that will kill him if he doesn’t have a regret in order to activate his ability through the seal, kicking and pushing him around, and ignoring the fact that Tsuna doesn’t want to be a mafia boss in the first place. Wow, what a great mafia boss he’ll be, being used to getting pushed around by someone else to get what they want and possibly hating the mafia because they ruined his life. I know I’d love for him to be the boss of the mafia I’m in! … (That was sarcasm, if you couldn’t tell).

Okay rant over, don’t get me started on Albus Dumbledore though. Moving on, over the past few days I have been working on finally getting the Ghost Pokemon medal on Pokemon Go (PoGo). There is a nest of Duskull nearby and today I finally got the medal! For those who don’t know, that means I’ve caught or hatched 200 ghost type pokemon on PoGo. The was the second to last pokemon type medal I’m missing. The last one is the dragon type medal and I’m only missing 19 dragon types until I get it.

I started PoGo on the first day it came out and am only missing the regionals not in the US except Farfetch’d. I’m not a shiny hunter, but I do have some. I haven’t got Regirock, but since it only came out yesterday and I haven’t raided in the last few days. It’s fine, it’ll be around of another month anyway. My friend code is 1255 5332 9245, if you play PoGo. I’ll do my best to sent gifts, but don’t get enough most days to send to everyone I’m already friends with. However, I’ll do my best to raise our friendship if you do friend me. I’m looking forward to it!

Like yesterday, I read some new chapters of stories I’m following. The one I’m going to talk about is called ‘Mauling Snarks’ by CmptrWz. It’s another Worm story like Taylor Varga, but isn’t a crossover. In Mauling Snarks, one of the main bad guy groups is not really one, but pretends to be because their members have powers that lean towards destruction and are sent against those the good guys can’t go after for one reason or another. The leader of this group is the uncle of Taylor (only in this fiction) and visits when she is stuck in the locker. His power affects hers (because family have similar powers) and she gets a different one than the original story. Like Taylor Varga, chaos and amusement abound. It even has a crossover omake with Taylor Varga and the original storyline! The link to it is – https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/mauling-snarks-worm.41471/.

The last thing I’m going to mention is that I’m also going to start working through a collection of stories by H.P. Lovecraft because several things from them are mentioned in Taylor Varga and even though he’s a horror writer, I’m curious. By the way, I plan to post at least once a day, just to let people know. See you tomorrow!

The Second Post

Hello again! Thanks to everyone who has already liked, followed or posted, your response is appreciated. Shout out to Yomu for being the first to comment! To finish up a story I didn’t realize I hadn’t last time, after finding the “Cardcapter Sakura” manga I read the whole “Master of the Clow” series and didn’t realize that it was a sequel series to the original “Cardcaptor Sakura” series until afterwards. I can now look back on that and laugh. By the way, that series is by a group of authors called CLAMP. They’ve written many great series like Tsubasa RESERVior CHRoNiCLE, xxxHolic and Chobits to name a few. They also have another “Cardcaptor Sakura” series called “Clear Cards” which has an anime too. I can go into those series later.

In the time since I wrote my first post I read a few more chapters on Black Sky and am now at chapter 234. But I have read more than that though. I follow a great many stories on Fanfiction.net, Archive of Our Own (AO3), etc. Sadly many I am following are no longer posting or abandoned. However, one I am following who has just not been able to get the time to write has finally posted a chapter! The series is called ‘Taylor Varga’ and is a crossover between an online serial “Worm” and an short really old anime very few know called “Luna Varga.”

Worm is not a happy story, let me put it that way. When the main characters’ backstory includes getting locked in a school locker, that was full of fermenting female products left to rot over a winter break, for several hours and the school basically ignoring it (for a reason unknown to the character), yeah not a happy story. Worm involves the dark side of superpowers and how badass the power to control bugs really is, which the main character Taylor gets for being locked in the locker. I’ve probably only read the very first section of it, but I know a lot about it just from reading the fanfiction about it and looking up relevant information when I needed it. I enjoy reading the fanfictions because while they don’t (often) ignore the issues in the story, they do a better job in my opinion of solving them.

I still actually have not looked up Luna Varga to watch, I really should sometime, but the basics as I know it are that a princess merges with a lizard like demon to protect her people against another of his kind. ‘Taylor Varga’ has a power giving Taylor the Varga demon instead of her getting the bug control power in the locker. Chaos then ensues, humorous chaos and much confusion. I was directed to this fanfiction by another author, but spent days reading it a having a good laugh, including the omakes (side stories that don’t actually happen in the story or at a future time for those who don’t know) which have Harry Potter and Marvel miniseries. The story is on it’s 25th tab on the Sufficient Velocity (SV) reader mode (which only has the main story not the omakes or the comments). The author mp3.1415player has cross-posted it on Fanfiction.net and AO3, but mostly focuses on SV so the other’s aren’t caught up. The link to the start of it is – https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/taylor-varga-worm-luna-varga.32119/.

I also read some new chapters from other stories. Two were from the author sakurademonalchemist on Fanfiction.net and are the latest in a long line of stories the author has started, posted some chapters on, then started a new story. They’ll occasionally post a new chapter to an old story, but not often. sakurademonalchemist if you ever read this, I’m sorry, but it’s true. I still enjoy your stories, but I wish you would finish them. Having said that, they do finish some stories. One such is Memories of Nobody, a great Harry Potter and Kingdom Hearts crossover that involves Xion, one of the saddest characters in the Kingdom Hearts series, taking Harry’s place after he is killed to save him and his parent’s hearts after her story ends in Kingdom Hearts. The link is here – http://www.fanfiction.net/s/11898187/1/. And the link to sakurademonalchemist’s page is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/912889/sakurademonalchemist.

I’m gonna talk a little about Kingdom Hearts since it’s been mentioned. I’ve played Kingdom Hearts since I was in middle school and next to Pokemon it is my favorite game series. I am ecstatic that Kingdom Hearts III is finally coming out early next year and sad that they moved it from this year. I don’t have much time to replay the series, but I’ve been watching a youtuber called SkywardWing play through ‘the games’ (insert Phil from Hercules voice here). He’s a laugh and is one of the first people to play part of Kingdom Hearts III. If you want to watch his videos, here is a link to his Youtube channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt4qeayu0d0Yo5NHx_3xY9A.

Well, the end of the day approaches and I want to read a few more chapters of Black Sky and finish the daily missions on the mobile game – Kingdom Hearts Union x. Good night and talk to y’all tomorrow!
