A Somewhat Boring Week

Hello friends, it’s me again. It’s been a mix of boring and training/conference this week. I had two trainings this week and we had the company wide conference. I needed very little from one training and the other was a refresher with only a few new things I needed to know. The conference was honestly just kinda, meh. Maybe if I didn’t have issues with my supervisors, it would have been better, but it’s hard to change your attitude when those above you aren’t willing to advance you. Or even really talk to you about things (like at the conference was the first time I’ve heard any of the supervisors say they had hired someone for aforementioned job I’ve not been getting instead of the HR email to everyone that some people just skip over). Or say “So and so can do that too”, while not having heard the whole conversation where the other person said they were going to lunch, and I was letting them know what I was going to do while they were doing that. Most likely because (and this is admittedly me paraphrasing and projecting) “You’re not letting them do the work so they can learn” or “You’re not their supervisor, so don’t tell them what to do”.

And this is a second hand story from my co-worker, that I didn’t know about, but am not surprised about. What I saw … My supervisor wanted one of us to take things to a room for someone and said either of us could do it. My co-worker offered when I mentioned it (because they weren’t there originally) and I said the two items I remembered, but couldn’t remember which of two other items was the third. Our supervisor walked in and I asked to confirm, and maybe he was annoyed that the two of us talked for a second to confirm the products that led to the later issue. Then what they told me … They went to get the items, but forgot one so came to ask. They saw the supervisor was talking to an upper-level person from another department outside the door to the office where we work and was going to come and ask me the question because he was busy. He stopped them to ask what they wanted and they mentioned they wanted to ask me a question about what to take. He said that he was the supervisor and the one who got to original request so they should have asked him in his raised voice in front of this other person. They got the answer, but when he started going after them trying to talk, they just ignored him because they didn’t want to blow up at him. They mentioned he hasn’t said anything else about it since, but the level of insecurity that you have to have to feel the need to consistently remind people that you’re the one in charge is staggering.

Moving on from that, I’ll talk about Fantastic Four: First Steps next time. There’s been a few changes in what I’m listening to. I’ve finished My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist and I’ll talk about the short stories from it I was interested in. The first one is The Best There Ever Was a Ranma ½ two-shot crossover. It’s a Izuku is Ranma reincarnated. He takes not having a quirk as a challenge and decides to become a hero without one. The second on is also a Ranma ½ two-shot. In this one, Izuku is a Hibiki and gets lost a lot. Ryoga comes to train him along with the other Nerima Wrecking Crew. Third is Unexpected Relations, a Bleach two-shot crossover. In it, fem. Ichigo’s quirk is burnt out when she losses her powers. Soul Society abandons her, so Ishin suggests she goes to UA to try and find her maternal grandfather, a hero her grandmother spent a week with when they couldn’t leave the city. It’s All Might, surprise right? Finally, Zero to Hero is a Dragon Ball Z two-shot crossover. In it, Inko is killed by Endeavor by accident and Izuku’s quirk is Saiyan (or the ability to go the DBZ universe, unsure). He’s trained by the crew and is friends with Dabi. There are others, but those are the ones I’ll choosing to mention.

I then listened to The Analyst by aicyel. It’s a My Hero Academia fic where Snipe finds one of Izuku’s notebooks sometime before the start of the series and sees for the threat to the heroes in it, that is really is. They set to work to find this Izuku and make sure he’s protected and learns how to secure his work. It’s fun, but sadly only 11 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2022. I’ll talk about the next one I’m listening to next post.

I finally finished Desperately Seeking Ranma by PixelWriter1. First afterwards, I listened to an offshoot one-shot Xander sees an Aoyama (Ms). It set after the 2^nd season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Xander meets Ms. Aoyama (Nabiki’s scary other form from DSR), who listens to his story. She tells that this world is a experiment by powerful entities and gives him a portal generator to escape if he needs to. He decides to become a better hunter and even learns meditation. Might be more eventually, but the author hasn’t posted anything since 2022 (sadly).

Then I decided to listen to Tome of the Orange Sky by CmptrWz. It’s a Naruto fic with a slight Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover. None of the characters are in it, but it all starts with a broken device crash landing on their planet long before the Tree and the Ten Tails. Naruto accidently finds it when young and hiding in a cave. It changes many things and breaks the original future. It’s fun and even completed after 120 chapters.

Then I got tired of listening to Super God Gene after 604 chapters and listened to Chaos and Shadows by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Fate series crossover. Fem Harry gets accidently sent back to past and is reincarnated as Fate’s Mordred. Her mother, Mogana, tells her how she’d been conceived to prove she was Arturia’s son (daughter). This leads her to drink, but she knows she can’t change the overall end of Camelot, but she can give it her own spin. She and Arturia survive (though the king is under Draft of the Living Death) and they go to the fairy realm. It’s an interesting story, it has 20 chapters and is sadly incomplete like most of this author’s works. Though it was updated last year, so who knows.

I finished the third book of Modern Villainess and wanted to read 4-6 later as I haven’t read them before, so I changed to Poor SAP Gohan’s Secret’s Revealed by dragonprincess3. It’s a Dragon Ball Z fic where Gohan’s class goes on a multiweek trip for the Successful Adult Program. The first place (and only one they got to in the fic) is Capsule Corp. There the class and old friends learn some of his secrets and Videl learns more about him. Has 37 chapters and like I implied is incomplete and hasn’t been updated since 2013.

On to the quest, first is Arch mage, the Path of Magic by Kairomaru. It’s a Harry Potter fic, where he’s raised by Sirius and the Tonks family. He’s prodigy in magic and can do wandless before Hogwarts. It’s fun and interesting and more importantly, still updating!

Second is Archer by Fencer22. It’s a Worm and Fate series crossover. I’ve talked about it here. It’s now got 31 chapters, but hasn’t updated since 2022. However, the author posted on another fic just last month, so they’re still around.

Third is Are you Afraid of the Dark? By ack1308. It’s a Worm fic with slight John Wick flavor. I’ve talked about it before here. It now has 13 chapters and was updated earlier this year.

Next is Armoured Skill by Night Raydes. Night Raydes is the newest name for the author Myrddin de Celestis that I have on my site. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s 8 chapters but has been cancelled because the author revived another fic and decided to continue that one rather than this one.

Following that is Arrow of Truth by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Fullmetal Alchemist and Fate/Stay Night crossover. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s 10 chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2016.

The last story I’ll talk about for the quest today is a light novel series I’m a fan of. It’s called Ascendance of a Bookworm: I’ll Do Anything to Become a Librarian! By Miya Kazuki. A recent college graduate bookworm from Japan is killed when earthquake happens and she’s crushed by books and the bookshelf. She’s reincarnated in a medieval magical world as young Myne. As the sickly daughter of gatekeeper, there’s no way she would have access to books, but that doesn’t stop her from trying. If she can’t get books, she decides that she’ll just make her own. However, the disease she has is magical one and if she doesn’t have access to devices to siphon off the magic, she’ll die. This her story and how she rises from the bottom to the top. There are 33 books in the main series, set in 5 parts. The last two books will be available in print by September 9^th! This is a great series and even has an manga and anime that has a few seasons! I’m deleting the pdfs in my text to speech as the audio books are coming out on Audible.

The only other thing I have is that I couldn’t get either of the event Pokémon from Adventure Week in PoGo even after I went to those biomes. That’s all I have this week, so as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’m back… Again

Well, after around 2 and half years, I’m back … again. I really have no excuse, I just never thought about it a lot and kept busy. I was officially hired in the job I mentioned in my last post Aug of 2021. I’ve been in and out of a higher temp position helping the higher-ups in my department when I wasn’t needed in my official position because we’ve been having trouble keeping temps. I’ve also been taking music lessons and have had two student performances with that organization. I’m still playing PoGo and sometimes go to in person events when I can make them. I did do the community day on Saturday and got all three shinnies I wanted. Wizard’s Unite shut down and I’ve not started any other Niantic mobile games so far.

I’ve been playing Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It’s fun and I’ve got all the current Pokémon and their various forms. I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but I’m all so working on my living dex to level 100. Most are at least level 35, except some that can’t be accessed in any of the Switch games. (I’m in the middle of The Indigo Disk epilogue now)

I joined an anime/manga group in the area and the manga part of the group is reading several series by volume. Of the ones we started with we’re now on volume five of both Black Lagoon and Toilet Bound Hanako-kun. I’ve previously read Black Lagoon, but didn’t mind rereading it. Black Lagoon is about a Japanese businessman who is sent to deliver a floppy drive (yeah, shows you the time it started, lol) with info on his company’s illegal dealings (that he didn’t know about before then), but is captured and ransomed to his company. They instead try to kill him and his captors on their torpedo boat. He renames himself ‘Rock’ and joins them in their ‘transport’ business. It’s not complete, but is no longer on hiatus, I think…

Toilet Bound Hanako-kun is about a high school girl named Neenee who tries to have a wish fulfilled by one of the 7 school legends, Hanako of the Toilet. Instead of a girl, a boy ghost calling himself Hanako comes. He doesn’t fulfill her wish, but she ends up connected to him. It’s about their adventures and finding out his history. 19 volumes have been released in the U.S. and it’s still releasing in Japan.

The other two we started out with were, Daemons of the Shadow Realm and Reincarnated as a Vending Machine. They were not continued as only one volume had been released for each at the time. Daemons of the Shadow Realm is the newest work by Hiromu Arakawa, who wrote Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s about a boy named Yuru who lives in a village and protects his sister. However, people come and attack the village and he learns that things aren’t as they seem and his sister and parents have been gone for a long time. Then he learns of Deamons and the prophecy about him and his sister. It’s about him trying to find them and what happened while people are after him. It’s still updating.

Reincarnated as a Vending Machine is as it says in the title, a man dies trying to save a vending machine and is reincarnated as one. He is in a dungeon and cannot say more than a few stock phrases. He meets a girl and manages to communicate that he is sentient. She’s strong enough to carry him around and takes him with her around the dungeons while changing to different types of vending machines as needed. It’s also still updating. I’ll talk more about what series we’re reading next time.

If any of you have read my previous posts, you’ll know I have ‘quests’ I like to do. This has continued even without me letting you know. I don’t remember if I mentioned this one before, but I was working on the chronological new Doctor Who series, including side series. I got through Season 5 Episode 2. I’ll pick this back up at some point.

Another one on hold is the Marvel extended cinematic universe in chronological order. I started with Captain America and am now on Season 3 Episode 3 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I’ll go more into this later, but this includes the Defenders series and their character’s ones.

The main quest I’m working on now is this, I have a text-to-speech app called Voice Dream on my phone. I copy chapters of fanfictions I like on it to listen to it so I can play them when driving or doing something else. Last year at some point I was bored and organized it into folders and put them in A-Z order. I decided to listen to them from the beginning and work on down. It hasn’t completely gone to plan as there are some I haven’t listened to in a long time and wanted to read instead, but I’m still plugging along. I also decided to split up my one-shots/fully completed fics (on one file) into alphabetical folders more then halfway through and made things harder on myself. On my listen list, I’m actually on the Ts, but the read list is in the Ds (though just one left) and there are a lot and some of them are long. There’s a C left in the oneshot read list, but it’s a sequel so I want to read the first one first, lol.

I’m reading several at once because I found somewhat early on that it was difficult to focus on one, especially long ones, continually. I started switching between several to make sure I wasn’t bored and made it kind of convoluted, but that’s the way I like it I guess. The last D to read is Dumbledore’s Army by Bobmin356. It’s a sixth year Harry Potter fic where Harry gets a letter from his parents in heaven (spelled by Lily before she died, somehow) and with the help of an ex-military American squib, gets himself and his friends ready for a war. It is a completed fic with a sequel. (I finished this later before I posted this)

One of the ones I’m listening to is Total Command by Epsilon110. It’s an AU version of My Hero Academia where only women got quirks and Izuku is one of the only characters not gender-bent. He still impresses Lady All Might and gets her quirk, but did he really not already have one? It’s an incomplete fic that hasn’t been updated since March 2021, though they’ve posted other stories since then.

Another I’m listening to is, Yet Again with a Little Extra Help by Third Fang. It’s a Naruto fic where things went weird before the Fourth Shinobi War and Naruto gets caught and the Kyuubi is being ripped out of him. One of the author’s OCs ends up in his mindscape and end up resetting the Narutoverse back to his academy days. It’s very weird and random. The OC, Ghost is just one of an immortal family who are insane. It’s finished and has a sequel that is still updating. (I also recently finished this one and am on its sequel).

While I’ll talk about the ones I’m working on, I’ll also be going down the list of ones I’ve already completed as well. To start off with is a one-shot called 1A is the Source of Kendo’s Headaches by multiple authors(?) but the one I found it through is Clouds (myheadinthecloudsnotcomingdown). It’s a weird one where Izuku potentially has plans to take over the world that Kendo finds out about (and Nedzu is helping, of course) and he’s being chased by 1A.

Next is 88 Miles Per Hour by Perfect Lionheart. It’s a Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover mainly with Back to the Future, but several other ones eventually. Xander puts on a Doctor Brown costume during the Halloween episode they’re turned into their costumes. That one does some time traveling and goes back to his past self and they go on an adventure. It’s currently 10 chapters and is not finished or updated (Like a lot of his fics) since 2012.

The last one I’ll mention is A Body Roll or Two by TheAmazingWadey. It’s a Miraculous Ladybug fic where Adrian left during High School, but is back for college. The attacks stopped, but now that he’s back will they start again? Also, Marinette has picked up Bachata dancing and joins a professional group, guess who her partner will be? And a certain Chat has taken to talking to her as well. What is going to happen? It’s a fun 54 chapters, but unfortunately is also incomplete (but just by a chapter or two) and not updated since 2017.

I’ll talk about some of the anime I’m watching next time. Finally, I’m still waiting for news on the newest Kingdom Hearts mobile app Missing Link or KH IV. Hopefully they’ll give us more information soon. As always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Long Week and More Fics (to Make Up for Last Week’s Absence)

Hello my readers! Sorry about not posting last week. I was busy and the weekend wasn’t any better. I’ve worked 51 hours this week and am looking forward to a quiet weekend. I’ve finished rereading Seerking’s Asylum and continued rereading some more of Ashes of the Past. The new chapters over the last two weeks are: How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk, Relic of the Future (1^st & 2^nd Sat), Gun Bunny, Taylor Varga [Main Story], Email Exchange (2 chaps), The Unseen Hunt (1^st & 2^nd Sun), Ginny’s Plan (Last Chapter), Deku: The Telekinetic Hero, Celestial Worm, Compass of thy Soul (1^st & 2^nd Mon, 1^st & 2^nd Thurs), Mauling Snarks (1^st & 2^nd Mon, 1^st & 2^nd Fri), Taylor Varga [Side Story/Omake] (1^st Tues & 2^nd Thurs), Trial by Fire (1^st Tues, 2^nd Mon & 2^nd Fri), Wyvern, Playing Our Roles, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard? (1^st & 2^nd Wed), Broken Dreams, Seerking’s Asylum, An Essence of Silver and Steel, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor, Honestly Harry – Year of the Spares, The Importance of Intent: After the Credits, The Lady of the Flies (2^nd Mon & 2^nd Thurs), Famiglia Drabbles (2^nd Mon & 2^nd Fri), Service with a Smile, Heroes Assemble!, Titanfall, Luna Lovegood and the Dark Lord’s Diary, Archer and The Dragon’s Knight.

Before I get to the fanfiction, I wanted to talk about an interesting anime I rewatched the first season of recently. Psycho Pass is psychological dystopian crime anime. While the rest of the world is in chaos (or so we’re led to believe, there’s not much mentioned outside of Japan and that’s only in the Movie), Japan is a ‘utopia’ because the Sybil system can read people’s Psycho Pass (aka their intentions and motives [in general terms]) and judge if they are a ‘latent criminal.’ Instead of police there are now Inspectors and Enforcers. Inspectors what you expect them to be. However, Enforcers are ‘latent criminals’ that work for the law for a little bit of freedom. Follow Akane as she becomes an Inspector and learns the reality behind their ‘utopia.’

For the Myrddin de Celestis quest, The Dragon Phoenix is a multi-crossover based on Harry Potter. It has Harry becoming the Dragon Phoenix! A role that means the world is soon to be at risk from ‘The Storm’ a mysterious tragedy that will be the end of the world unless he defeats it. Eventually a Harry/Ginny story, mostly. It has elements from Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, W.I.T.C.H, Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon and more! It’s not complete and is sort of overcomplicated.

The Soul Within is a Harry Potter fic. It has Harry having a twin only he can hear that he wants to give a body to eventually. Looks to eventually have him with his twin and the Greengrasses. Only three chapters, not complete.

Shifting Destiny is a Harry Potter and X-Men crossover. It has Harry ending up married to Pixie after a trip to Vegas. He joins the X-Men and gets away from the Wizarding World. Only four chapters, not finished.

Buffy of the Rebellion is a Buffy: The Vampire Slayer fic where Buffy dies, but has her heart restarted before she even goes to Sunnydale. She escapes and learns more about the Supernatural world while learning how to defend herself. Things still happen with the new Slayer in Sunnydale. Sort of interesting, but isn’t much. Not finished.

Out of Reign is a Harry Potter fic. Harry finds his mother’s trunk in the attic after second year and learns some new things. He pretends he’s normal with the Dursley’s help to fool Aunt Marge. Not finished, only three chapters.

The next few fics are by White Angel of Auralon. Redirection is a Harry Potter fic. It’s a Marauder era fic where Sirius figures out that some of their pranks are going to too far and changes himself. A girl finds she likes his changes and they get together changing things drastically for the war. It’s interesting for only 3 chapter. It’s complete!

Changed Past is a Harry Potter one-shot. When chasing a criminal, he ends up in the past. He decides to change somethings, but not too much. It’s interesting how things can change so much and yet stay the same.

Irish Home is another Harry Potter one-shot. Harry decides to go live at one of his family’s houses instead of going back to the Dursley’s after first year. It’s about how he adjusts and meets the people around him.

The last fic I’ll mention is another new one from sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist crossover called New Beginnings. In it, Ed is Fem Ed and Fem Harry (who is from sometime after the war) offers to cover the cost of Alphonse’s body and soul. Now a voice in Fem Ed’s head Fem Harry helps them out. Read the first chapter (at least) in the compilation fic and am looking forward to more chapters.

I could post more, but I need to add the links to the post and do some other things. Look forward to next week’s post! May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’m Back (and I Completed the First Part of the Current Quest)

Hello, my readers, I am back! Happy Late 4th of July! So I went to Nashville for last weekend and that’s why I wasn’t able to post last week. I had an early flight Friday and went to sleep early. Over the past two weeks I got all the collectables in the KHII worlds and was officially hired by my work. My first day is soon! I got Carnivine and Tropius in PoGo and hope to get Pachirisu soon! I reread Angry Harry and the Seven, Harry Potter and the Old Friend, Titanfall, Reality Bites Worm, Archer and Ginny’s Plan. The new chapters these two weeks are: Relic of the Future (1^st and 2nd Sat), An Essence of Sliver and Steel (1^st& 2^nd Sat), Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, Celestial Worm (1^st Sat, 1^st Thurs), The Unseen Hunt (1^st and 2nd Sat), Devil Ninja, Mending the Knots, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye (2 chaps), Honestly Harry – The Year of the Spares, Mauling Snarks (1^st & 2^nd Mon, 1^st & 2^nd Fri), Are You Afraid of the Dark?, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, Service with a Smile (1^st & 2^nd Tues), Archer, Ripples, Demon Skylark, Short Story Drabbles, Heroes Assemble!, Famiglia Drabbles, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?

*Spoiler Warning*

I finally went to go see Toy Story 4 yesterday and it was as good as I imagined. Bo Peep showed up and we learned why she left the movies originally. The movie also brought up the question of what really counts as a toy with Forky who was made from trash and wanted to go back into it. It also covered how toys feel about just being left on a shelf forever. Buzz’s ‘inner voice’ was funny.

There wasn’t really a ‘bad guy’ in the movie. Even the toy who was in the role had her reasons and got an owner. Woody made the decision to stay with Andy instead of going with Bo Peep, but since Bonnie didn’t need him he made the opposite decision. It’s a great movie and I enjoyed the plush’s imaginary sequences.

*End Spoiler Warning*

Signed, Anonymous by Enchanted Pink Jade is a Saint Tail fic I reread last week. It has Meimi and Asuka Jr. exchanging a dairy anonymously talking about their problems and how to solve them. It’s a cute little ten chapter fic that was written many years ago.

Senju Naruto is a new fic by TheBeardedOne that was started last Monday and finished yesterday. It has Danzo trying to steal Naruto soon after the Kyubi attack and Kakashi stopping it. He takes Naruto away and they both end up under Tsunade’s protection as her ‘sons.’ It’s a fun fic and there might be a sequel!

For The Honor of the Regiment is by mp3.1415player. It’s a Worm and BOLO series (haven’t read it, but it has AI tanks) crossover with one of the BOLO tanks eventually taking over Taylor’s Shard. It activates early and she is trained from an early age. It switches back and forth between the beginning and current time. Fun, but may be confusing to some people.

Trial by Fire is the latest by sakurademonalchemist. It was in a compilation fic and is a Harry Potter and One Piece fic. It has ‘Harry becomes Ace’ as the difference from Ace is Harry so we’ll see how the continuation goes.

I’ll finish the first part of the Myrddin de Celestis quest since there’s only 24 chapters left. Chapter 71 is The Truths of Avalon. It was a one-shot Buffy and Harry Potter crossover. There’s no Buffy in it, but Harry goes slightly insane, turns into a girl (or was always one and it was hidden, don’t know) and escapes the Dursleys.

Chapter 72 is Thrice Bound. It was a five-chapter Harry Potter story I’d read before. Harry is a triplet of the two boys-who-lived and is often forgotten. He meets Ginny and Luna on his tenth birthday and becomes soul-bound to them.

Chapter 73 is Twisting Worlds. It was a four-chapter Final Fantasy XIII and Harry Potter crossover. Lighting and Vanille are separated from the others and find Serah. They eventually end up on earth and meet Harry and his twin sister who are new l’Cie. Don’t know anything about Final Fantasy so can’t say much about this.

Chapter 74 is Two Worlds. It was one-shot Twilight and Hannah Montana crossover (or would be). In it Renesmee doesn’t like Jacob and rejects him. Alice helps her move to Malibu, but it doesn’t happen in the chapter.

Chapter 75 is Lost Art. It was a one-shot Naruto fic. Naruto leaves Jiraya early on their training trip to learn a lost art from a book. Jiraya doesn’t left Konoha know until he gets back at the end of three years. They were about to go looking for Naruto.

Chapter 76 is We Will Be Heroes. It was a one-shot Twilight fic. The husbands of the younger gen vampires are cheating and the girls decide to become superheroes. … yeah, it’s kinda weird.

Chapter 77 is Ionic Storm. It’s longest story here at 44 chapters. It has so many crossovers (especially in the last chapters) that I’ll only mention Harry Potter, inFamous and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s like previously mentioned stories, Fem. Harry gets inFamous powers and is brought late to Hogwarts. Is M for a reason!

Chapter 78 is Midnight Savior. It was a two-chapter Twilight fic. Bella is the reborn ‘savior’ and awakens her powers before she goes to Forks. She’ll end up with Alice, but they haven’t gotten together yet.

Chapter 79 is Upgrade Override. It was a two-chapter Twilight and Xenosaga crossover. Taylor goes on a field trip after Edward lives and gets infused with nanobots. She saves Jane and they travel together.

Chapter 80 is Demonic Bloodlines. It was two-chapter Naruto fic. Naruto meets the Kyubi when he’s thrown off the cliff and instead of summoning a toad, Fem. Kyubi helps him. He meets Hinata and goes to train with Guy.

Chapter 81 is Neketo Uzumaki. It was a seven-chapter Naruto fic. Fem. Naruto gets the Sharingan and is much better. Yeah, not very interesting.

Chapter 82 is Hidden Element Kunoichi. It was a one-shot Naruto fic. Fem. Naruto pretends to be fat and only reveals she’s a kunoichi. Fem. Sasuke (those she’s his twin) and Hinata are her teammates and they’ll end up together.

Chapter 83 is Unoblivious. It was a 13-chapter Harry Potter fic. Mostly one-shot stories about Harry asking questions instead of just plowing forward.

Chapter 84 is Possible Abominations. It was a one-shot Kim Possible fic. Ron is murdered while she’s on a mission and she promises to avenge him.

Chapter 85 is Evolution of Mana. It was a one-shot Harry Potter and X-Men crossover. Harry becomes a mutant while saving a girl from kidnaping and Professor X senses him.

Chapter 86 is History Reborn. It was a two-chapter Harry Potter fic. It’s similar to another where Harry and Ginny plan to go back to the past but is mostly only his recollections of the past.

Chapter 87 is In the Era of the Fabled. It was a two-chapter Harry Potter and Naruto crossover. Naruto and Harry are born with each other’s expected powers and one odd eye. They’re connected, but Naruto hasn’t even been mentioned in the story yet. Just Harry meeting Ginny.

Chapter 88 is Memory of the Arts. It was a two-chapter Naruto fic. Essentially a Missing Hokage fic, but with Naruto losing his memory and not caring about others.

Chapter 89 is Burst Reality. It was a 19-chapter Harry Potter, Final Fantasy VII, Buffy and Code Geass crossover. Harry and Ginny are time and space Gods to be. Harry knows he is and dimension travels to grow up in a better environment. He de-ages and comes back to go to Hogwarts. It was once much longer, and Ginny knew she was one. It also has a rewrite I’ll cover later.

Chapter 90 is Mana Uncovered. It was a one-shot Harry Potter fic. It has a mad-scientist Harry who makes a clone of his beloved twin sisters.

Chapter 91 is The League of Justice. It was a one-shot Naruto and DC crossover. It’s a slight extension of a Mythical Night that explains about Batgirl and Artemis.

Chapter 92 is Player. It was a four-chapter Harry Potter fic (eventual DC crossover). It has Sirius faking his death and Harry goes to Gringotts to do things. The Order is useless, and Harry wins some money.

Chapter 93 is White Flames. It was a three-chapter Harry Potter fic. In it Harry gets a mysterious power and bulks up. Possibly has seer powers, maybe.

Chapter 94 is Infamous City. It was a two-chapter Naruto fic. The world has much better technology, but they still need ninjas. Naruto saves Hinata and ends up betrothed to both her and her sister. It’s the last one of Mystical Codex, but I’ll cover the other stories next!

That’s everything for this week. I’ll see the new Spiderman this weekend and talk about it next week. See you then and May You Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Sorry! Longer Work Week (with the Quest!)

Sorry I’m late! I ended up working Friday and went to sleep early and yesterday I was helping my mother out with an event along with Pogo Community day so I never got around to it… Anyway, been listening to more Taylor Varga and From Fake Dreams. The new chapters this week are: Black Sky, Relic of the Future (1^st Sat, 2^nd Sat), The Unseen Hunt (Mon, 2^nd Sun), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Viridescent, Kaien’s Fate, Aizen’s Experiment and Ichigo’s Sister, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Demon Skylark (Wed & Thurs), Ginny’s Plan, Famiglia Drabbles, Short Story Drabbles, Seerking’s Asylum, Devil Ninja, Titanfall, Deku: The Golden Sayian Hero of Hope & Game On! 3 1 (2 Chaps).

The first story this week was The Bug-Type Queen by LordCirce. It’s a Pokémon and Worm crossover when Taylor is blasted into the Pokémon world by Bakuda. There she finds she can communicate with bug-type Pokémon. It covers her journey to find her way back while protecting her hive. There are flashes of when she gets back, but there are only a few. It hasn’t been updated since 2016, but hopefully it will be eventually!

Next is A Skittering Heart by stewart92. It’s a Worm and Kingdom Hearts crossover where Taylor becomes a Keyblade wielder. She teams up with Parian. It also contains Final Fantasy elements. It hasn’t been updated in a year, but it has 43 chapters.

Next was Newtype Bet by Arthur Hansen. It’s a Gundam UC and Worm crossover where Taylor triggers as a Newtype. She builds Gundams to fight the Endbringers, but it doesn’t get that far. Only 5 chapters and it hasn’t been updated in a year, but it’s interesting.

With Time is a Danny Phantom fic by PhantomPhoenixGirl. It’s a characters’ watch the show fic. It doesn’t follow the show directly, but picks the episodes to view. It’s fun, but only 4 chapters.

The next chapters for the Myrddin de Celestis quest start with chapter 42 – Lightning Slayer. It’s a Harry Potter, inFAMOUS (the game) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover that was three-chapters. It has Fem. Harry being dropped off in LA as a kid and getting the electrical powers from the inFAMOUS game series. She becomes a protector and when she comes of age, she decides to head to Sunnydale and see the Hellsmouth and the Slayer. Rated M for obvious reasons.

Chapter 43 was Lightning Strikes and was most likely the story that prompted the last story cause it was in 2012 and this one was in 2011. Its ten-chapters and has Fem. Harry with the same powers, but in London. She meets her ‘family’ fighting Death Eaters and learns she has a twin sister. She decides to put up with her family that hates her (because of Dumbles) and enter the magical world during ‘third’ year. It has a Negima crossover, but it’s inconsistent because Eva and Chachamaru are mentioned as being friends before they even enter the story and introduce themselves… so yeah.

Chapter 44 was Rise of the Black Phoenix. It was an eleven-chapter Harry Potter story where Harry is left for dead in a forest so the Dursley’s can stop the letters. He finds his way to where he meets Ginny. Because of his injuries he doesn’t go to school that year and stays with Ginny. They decide to make their own organization to correct the world. It’s okay, but the author says his 12^th birthday is his 11^th before ‘2^nd’ year.

Chapter 45 was Order of Souls (the sort of remake of the last story). It was two chapters and is sort of the same, but he spends less time outside and they focus on the shopping trip for him.

Chapter 46 was End of Worlds. It was a three-chapter Harry Potter story that was really weird. Before Harry goes to Hogwarts, he and many others are killed in the ‘Kaleido Event.’ The Powers That Be bring him back… Yeah, I really don’t get this one very much.

Chapter 47 was Divine Sight. It was a ten-chapter Naruto and Harry Potter crossover. In it, Harry doesn’t have magic, but chakra. He’s looked down upon but does his best anyway. Eventually (like on the last ‘chapter’) Naruto and Hinata are transported to Hogwarts and don’t know how to get back. It’s okay, but not the greatest in the world.

Chapter 48 is Hyper Saiyans. It was a ten-chapter DBZ story where Chichi dies in childbirth. Gohan takes care of Goten by himself and eventually goes to high school to be able to graduate. He meets Videl and things happen almost the same up to where she finds out, which is where it ends. Chapter 49 is Dragon Ball Acceleration. It’s the same (only one chapter), but has him meeting Videl in a tournament and getting a date. They meet again in high school.

Chapter 50 was Blood War. It was actually their first story and it shows. It’s a seven-chapter Harry Potter story where Harry and Ginny are connected to the ‘Source’ and allows them to communicate with former hosts of the ‘Source’ (mostly Gods and such). They’ll become the mysterious Lord and Lady Phoenix and fight Voldemort.

That’s it and sorry again. I’m also working on a database of the Pokémon I have, so that’s interesting. See you all on Friday! May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key! (BTW the trailer for the KH III DLC is out!)

A Walking Weekend

Friday

Today, I had more time and thus read a lot more, mostly Homestuck. I got to page 2378. Almost all of the trolls have been introduced, but they’re kinda really out there. It’s going through their ‘origins’ and many of the trolls are messed up (in the head mostly, but also a lot physically especially from each other). Yeah, might take a break from this one for a little bit.

I’ve been actually rereading the story From Fake Dreams that I’ve mentioned before. I’m able to reread many stories faster because I copy the text of a chapter onto a text to speech app called Voice Dream. It keeps the chapter copy so I can search for it if I want to listen to it again. I know some people don’t like the ‘computerized’ voice, but I have one with a British accent and I like it!

I read new chapters from both Taylor Varga (Yay!) and Mauling Snarks. Other than that I read the three newest chapters of the Korean manga called, “The Gamer”. It’s about a boy named Han Jee-Han who gains the power to treat life like a video game. He can level up, get items, learn skills from books, quests, and many more similar things. This leads him into the Abyss, the underworld of those with magic and other abilities. Watch as he learns to hone his skills (including the dish washing one) and make his own way in the Abyss. It has 239 chapters so far.

Wow no links today. Guess we’ll see about tomorrow.

Saturday

Today was a lazy day mostly, because it was very rainy. I don’t live on the east coast, but to all those that are (Especially in the Carolinas) stay safe! I mostly reread (listened to) From Fake Dreams, though I did go out and walk a little to hatch some eggs in PoGo to get those regionals (none today, I hatched to ones that I got before the event).

I rewatched the a few of Pokemon shorts called “Pokemon Generations” that animates some of the scenes from the game (including short side stories that you didn’t know). To name some are: Blue’s run through the Pokemon League before you from the Red and Blue games and life throughout the games in the eyes of a Pikachu. Other than that I got a new chapter of An Essence of Silver and Steel and one I haven’t mentioned before, ‘Stand Together and Smile’ by KnightEstoc. It’s a Sword Art Online fanfic that has the main characters Asuna and Kirito (Kazuto) meeting and becoming friends as kids IRL before the main storyline. See how things change (Including Kirito getting a harem). The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12894463/1/Stand-Together-and-Smile.

In absence of more things I’ve read today, I figured I just mention how diverse anime and manga are. I mean you have the sci-fi and magical ones, but I’m just talking about in terms of ones about sports. They have ones for the ‘main’ sports: Football (Soccer to those of us from America. Because we just can’t have the same name for things that the rest of the world does. I mean take the way we tell time for example, Americans call the 24 hour clock ‘Military time’, when to the rest of the world it’s just normal time) represented by “Whistle”, America Football represented by “Eyeshield 21”, Tennis represented by “The Prince of Tennis”, Baseball represented by “Cross Game”, Boxing represented by “Hajime no Ippo”, and volleyball represented by “Haikyu!!” (Keep in mind these are just one example of each, there are more especially Baseball and Football). However there are some for other, more obscure sports: Table Tennis represented by “Ping Pong” (Yes, that’s the name of the manga), Swimming represented by “Free!”, and Badminton by “Smash!” to name a few. Feel free to look these up!

That’s it for today! Thanks for listening to my rant!

Sunday

Today I also walked some more to hatch regional eggs (And 10km for Celebi quests), but the only regional I hatched was a Tauros. I did finish the first eevee 10km quest and evolved it into a shiny umbreon at night for the next set (just one more 10km!). I reread (listened) to more of From Fake Dreams and am almost finished, just another ten chapters or so to get to where it currently is at 52 chapters.

I finished up Pokemon Generations, but that’s it. I’ll talk about Doctor Who today. For those who don’t know, Doctor Who is a British show that started in the 1960’s about a Time Lord named The Doctor who traveled space and time with his companions. When he dies, he is reincarnated into a different body. The series went on for a few decades and made it through 8 regenerations before it stopped for a while. It was rebooted in the 2000’s and started on the 9^th (really 10^th) regeneration. I started watching a few years after the reboot, but they’re already on the 13^th (really 14^th) Doctor, who is now a woman. (The ‘9^th’ doctor is called the War Doctor and is only in the movie ‘The Day of the Doctor”). Look it up, but you won’t find all the original episodes because some have been lost to time (lol).

See you tomorrow! See below!

Monday

I finished From Fake Dreams and started rereading a fic called ‘Ginny Returns’ by kb0. It’s a Harry Potter story about a future Ginny who only has a paralyzed Hermione left, who goes back in time to save her husband (Harry), family, friends, and the wizarding world. Kbo is a good writer and although not all of their fics are Harry/Ginny (a few are though), I still like most of them. The link to the fic is –https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4740107/1/Ginny-Returns and the link to the author’s page is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1251524/kb0.

I did read some new fanfictions today though! The first one is called “Persephone” by sunflowerb. It’s a How to Train Your Dragon Fic. (if you don’t know what it is, look it up. There are two movies currently and a third one coming out soonish). In this one, Hiccup is thought dead by Toothless after Astrid follows him. Then a Dragon Rider shows up and can ‘control’ the raiding dragons (he’s really trying to stop destruction). They give Astrid (now 20) up to him as a bride to make him stop the raids. It’s not a happy fic and deals with abandonment and alcoholism, but it’s a good story all the same. And it’s finished, there might be a sequel later. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10740714/1/Persephone.

The second story I read is called ‘Origin Story’ by Worldmaker. It’s a crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer/DC/Marvel. It has a copy of Xander in Power Girl’s body being made in the Marvel verse (Where things are very wrong) after the Halloween body switching spell. He has to get used to being in a female body with super powers, while on the run for next to nothing by the Marvel heroes & Villains. Check it out at -https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9801437/1/Origin-Story .

For those who don’t know Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s about a girl named Buffy who becomes the Slayer (the one who slays demons and vampires) and her friends as they battle vampires and demons while trying to live their lives. I would suggest it, even if it’s a bit old.

Other than that, I’ve started to try The Alchemist Code phone app, but am holding judgment and read the new chapter of Mauling Snarks. I walked again for eggs and km in PoGo and got halfway for the 10km and got a FarFetch’d (which I already had from the event last year. I need a Kangaskhan and a Mr. Mime).

That’s it for the weekend! See you on Thursday!
