Long Traveling Weekend

Hello, friends. It’s been a long week with a lot of driving. It’s the reason why this will be late. I helped my parents with an event this weekend and it involved four-hour trips Friday-Sunday, with the ones on Friday and Sunday getting to the locations after 8. Along with the fact I helped with the event on Saturday and Sunday, left not much time to write.

My interview went fine as far as I know, but I won’t know if I got the position until later in the week as they’re still interviewing. Hopefully I’ll have something to tell you next post. Because of everything, I didn’t really have a chance to do much game wise.

So, I didn’t change much of what I’m listening to this week, because I started listening to something else entirely for a good part of the week and only today got back on track. Why you ask? Because I was having a lot of fun with this fic, Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber.

This is a crossover between two reincarnated light novels that have an anime, Mobseka (or The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs) and The Eminence in Shadow. Mobseka is about Leon who recinarnated into the world of an otome (a dating sim for young girls) that he was forced to play by his younger sister. He died after playing it and ends up as a lower noble in the countryside. He goes looking for a high level item he paid for to help him in the game after he learns he’s going to be sold off to an old lady and possibly killed. He finds it and ends up at the academy. Will he be able to distance himself from the events of the game? And is he the only reincarnator? Find out in this 13-novel series. It also has another set of novels that follows a different route (from one point of view).

The Eminence is Shadow is about Cid, a boy who wants to be one pulling the strings behind the story, hence the title. He has trained to be one most of his life in secret, while trying to be a ‘mob’ character the rest of the time. He seriously tries to think of a way to defeat a nuke. His is run over by a truck (totally his own fault, btw) and is reincarnated into a world with magic. He decides to play his game here and ends up bringing in girls that he accidentally saved from a disease by messing around. He tells the first (that he names Alpha) a made-up story about a cult trying to resurrect a demon and him fighting against them. However, it turns out to be true and they girls he saves make an organization to fight them. He doesn’t know that it’s real and refuses to see reason, and no-one in his organization realizes this. It’s amusing and the “I AM ATOMIC” in the anime is awesome! Also, a movie is coming out sometime this year!

So, in the fanfic, the two worlds they’re reincarnated into are fused and their origins are altered. While Leon is searching for his item and Cid is going to ‘rescue’ his sister, they end up meeting and changing both their fates from the original. This is a massive fic, and the author does a great job on it. There’s a lot more to their histories and the origins of their whole world. It’s got 108 chapters on AO3, but that includes more than few omakes. I started reading it sometime last week and was hooked! I haven’t finished it, but I wanted to re-listen to it while on my long drives and had a lot of fun! This is worth a read and it was just updated with 108 today!

Finally, moving onto the quest, first is Door to Destiny by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Kingdom Hearts crossover. Fem Tsuna (Fem Sora) is cast off of her world when her flames are sealed. She wakes up on Destiny Islands and becomes Sora. How will this affect things and will she ever return? These questions are partially answered as it has 13 chapters. Sadly, it hasn’t updated since 2019.

Second is Double Trouble by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Bleach and Harry Potter crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. It’s a Tatsuki is fem Harry story, but she’s also a Soul Reaper long before Ichigo gets his powers. It gets a bit weird, but when doesn’t it from this author. It has 22 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2012.

Third is Drabble Ball Z by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a compilation fic for one and two shots about Dragon Ball Z. There are only 7 chapters and four fics. One with Ranma ½ where Ranma is de-aged and found by Chichi and Goku, one where Fem Trunks is de-aged and ends up growing up with Gohan, one where Fem Harry is actually Vegeta’s daughter with Lily, and the last one has Fem Harry in Trunks timeline where she survives getting attacked by the androids (timelines don’t work without shenanigans, but the author wrote it anyway). It was last updated in 2022.

Fourth is Dreams by Epeefencer. Harry is rejected by Ginny before the final battle but sacrifices himself to save her. He wakes up in his second year confused. He decides to help Ginny as much as he can. However, he keeps blacking out and waking up a while later. What’s going on and how can he fix things? I’m not sure we’ll know as it only has 16 chapters and was last updated in 2017. The author hasn’t posted anything since 2022 either.

Fifth and last is Duel Nephillim by Night Raydes. It’s a one-chapter Harry Potter story, that used to be longer. I’ve talked about it before here. Harry is born a twin but is the ‘devil’ one to his sister’s ‘angel’. After confronting Vodlie, Lily sends Harry with Bella (who’s on her side) and trains her daughter, Rosette. That’s it, but with more information. I’ve mentioned about this author before, so don’t expect more, maybe ever.

Have a great week and I hope to have good news next time. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Short One This Week

This week and particularly Thursday and Friday have been super boring. I’ve started having a slight physical problem, but I’m working on it. Also, my dog has apparently been causing issues at his doggy day care (he’s there because others who would look after him during the day are temporarily unavailable), mostly messing with the puppies.

I’ll start off with more of the anime I’m watching this season. The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity has been as great as I thought, though Netflix being stupid about releasing it is annoying. Secrets of the Silent Witch has also been a great watch.

I’ve also been watching Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter. I reread and caught up to the current manga chapter (the anime has gone past it) but haven’t read the light novels (because there’s 16ish volumes). The MC, Allen, has finished magic academy, but failed under mysterious circumstances to become a court magician. His teacher recommends him to help a Duke’s daughter in the country that’s having issues with magic but wants to go to the academy. It’s been pretty interesting, but I like the previous two better.  

There’s also The Water Magician. I read the manga for the first time and the anime is worth a read/watch, but also not interesting. Its anime is also past the manga. It’s about Ryo who gets reincarnated with the ability to control water magic. He trains in the middle of no-where because he didn’t want to be around people. When he saves someone who was shipwrecked, he decides to follow them to learn more about the new world he’s in. I’ll talk about a few more next time.

Onto the listening changes; first is that I finished The Rabbitverse by ShadowedSword13. Next in my listening order was Hands Off (My Hero). It’s a one-shot about Rabbit confronting the newly caught Shiggy about attacking Ochaco. Then is another one-shot also set when they’re still at UA and before Rabbit leaves, Not Your CI (But I Might as Well Be). In it Rabbit is trying to make a deal with a villain group, but then Froppy calls asking for information on them … Yeah, that doesn’t go down well.

The main fic in the series is next, Down the Rabbit Hole. This takes place after Rabbit comes back to Japan and Ochaco has been a hero for a while. Rabbit decides the best time to seduce her is when she’s in the middle of a stake out on him. It gets better from there and it’s a fun fic. Finally is Mannerisms. It’s got a few chapters that about what mannerisms Ochaco finds that Rabbit has after the ending of Down the Rabbit Hole. After I finished it, I decided to listen to Ataraxia by a1lvera5hley that I mentioned last week.

I also finished Using the Force Made Easy by Fencer22 and decided to listen to Pick Up The Pieces and Take Stock by Umei no Mai. It a Katekyo Himan Reborn fanfic set after the end of the series. I’ve talked about it here. Finally, I finished Poor SAP Gohan’s Secret’s Revealed by dragonprincess3 and decided not to add an new one for it, so now I’m down a story and that’s fine. I can add and subtract as many as I want.

Now onto the B’s for the quest; First is Back in Black by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Supernatural crossover. I’ve talked about it before here. It has 44 chapter, but (as always) is incomplete.

Second is Back to the Beginning by Aliandris. It’s a My Hero Academia fanfic where things change during the Jaku City attack. Ochaco is killed by Shigaraki and Izuku goes after him and dies. But there’s also another timeline where Izuku and then Ochaco is killed by Toga during the same conflict. The main difference? Izuku had One-for-All in the first and Ochaco had it in the second. The Second user had a slight time travel quirk (instead of the canon one) and both timelines activate it at the same time. They’re sent back in time together to before they both would have gotten the quirk. They have to try and save the future while deciding who gets the quirk. It’s an awesome fic and has 92 chapters, but sadly hasn’t updated since Oct 2024.

Third is Backwards with a Purpose Part 1: Always and Always by deadwoodpecker. It’s another time travel fic, but this time with Harry Potter. Harry, Ginny and Ron are the last survivors of the war and they find a way to go back to save everyone. However, things are not as they once were and things have been changed in a way to make it harder for them. It’s finished and even has a sequel, that’s not on this list.

Next is Bandit King by Night Raydes. It’s a Harry Potter with a slight crossover with the King of Bandit (manga) fanfic where Harry is abandoned by his parents for his younger sister. He’s taken by the King of Bandit and learns his craft. Fast forward to 16, he returns to England and decides to help his younger sisters, in spite of his parents. Sadly, the author (formerly many names but I have them as Myrddin de Celestis on the site) has run out of inspiration and after many bad (or no) reviews decided to stop writing in Nov 2024.

I’ll finish with Bank Account by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot. In it a neighbor who works the Dursley’s bank sees how Harry is treated and forced to work without pay. She decides to set it up discreetly to have some money set aside from their account into one for Harry to pay him for his work.

I would write more, but I didn’t set more time to write this week. So, as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

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 2nd 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 9th! 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!

The Week and a Superman Movie Review

Hello everyone, it’s me again. It’s been a pretty boring week for me. Work’s been the same, but I have now been to almost all the company locations except the farthest out ones. I did see the new Superman movie last weekend, I didn’t talk about it last post because I didn’t have time. I’ll talk a bit about it now, but before that

[*Spoilers Start*]

I thought it was an interesting movie. I’ve never really seen or heard of Kal-El’s parents being portrayed as telling him to take over the planet. The fact that part of the recording was corrupted was just dying for someone to either fix it or fake it to make things worse. Of course, most of Superman’s story is about his humanity and how he sees himself as human over being Kryptonian. He even straight out said it when confronting Lex. Superman is the mask and Clark is how he sees himself. This is interesting as Batman is the opposite. In Batman Beyond, someone tries to make Bruce think he’s crazy, but Bruce knows it’s not his subconscious speaking because it called him Bruce. He implies that he calls himself Batman in his head.

Moving on, Krypto being an untrained menace really makes the movie amusing. That Krypto is a cause or mitigating factor of most of the issues throughout the movie, makes it great that Clark uses him to help defeat Ultraman. Of course, Kara being a drunk party girl is an interesting take, but we’ll have to see where that goes.

Ultraman being a Superman clone, yeah, I could tell just as soon as Lex and his crew just straight up walked into the Fortress of Solitude. I mean really, the One character who wears a mask and doesn’t speak for the whole movie, even if I didn’t already know about Bizarro, I would have thought clone. Yo no est stupido.

Lex being in touch with his feelings and admitting that he’s jealous or envies Superman, seemed slightly out of character for him. Not the fact that he knows he’s jealous or envious, the fact he admits it, to Superman, in front of subordinates. Lex’s got an ego and my take on him is that he might if they were alone, but in front of others?  Not unless he was in full meltdown mode, which he wasn’t at that point in time.

Lois being about to break up with Clark was an interesting choice. I mean, she was worried about their differences, but she got over her doubts when she saw his humanity over his being an alien. Her going to his house and seeing his history there in his room, soothed her that he was as human as she was.

Guy and the Justice Gang… Lol, Nathan Fillion did a great job portraying Guy’s Ego with a slight willingness to help people. Hawkgirl was great, though it took me a second to get used to her scream when she first started to attack. Mr. Terrific, I honestly don’t know enough about the character to say much, but he was fun.

Overall, a good movie. I’ll wait and see how they do with the new DC verse.

[*End Spoilers*]

So, I actually changed a few of the stories I’m listening to. First is, like I mentioned last week, My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. I’ll go over the more interesting one, two or three shots that I’ve gone through. I’m not going by chapter on this one, but the name of the chapter/s.

First is A Hero’s Wings, which has two chapters. It’s a crossover with Gundam Wing, where Izuku is Heero. Interesting and has a smarter Heero. The next interesting one-shot is Cheshire. In it, Shota (Eraserhead) has a kid from a one-night stand that acts like a cat. Not much to go on, but would have been interesting to see more. Then there’s Crystalized Hope, it’s a two-shot where fem. Izuku (Hikari) actually has ice powers, but accidentally killed a cat when they manifested and hid them because the cat’s owner wanted to jail the one who did it. She would have become an figure skater if All Might hadn’t given her his powers. Again, would have liked to see more.

After that there’s Do Bad Well, which is a two-shot crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho. Izuku is Yusuke and comes back in time. Atsuko is actually his aunt and he moved in with her and changed his name after Inko died. After the main story (at least I assume so, it doesn’t actually say), he ends up before his mom dies. He decides to change things for the better. Eclipsed Heroics is a two-shot that has fem. Izuku (Hikari again) starts a hero review website Eclipse. This is one of my favorite type of fics, where Izuku actually uses his hero notes. Ferrous is a two-shot Iron Man crossover. Izuku gets an internship at Stark Industries at a young age and moves to America. It turns out he’s Tony’s son and he takes over when Tony is captured. This changes things.

Flying Free is a two-shot crossover with Dragon Ball Z. Izuku is the result of a magic(?) flower that cause Goku and Inko to hook up some time before the end of Dragon Ball when he and Chichi get married. Izuku has dream where he meets and is trained by Bardock. This leads to him and Gine being brought back. This causes changes when Raditz shows up. The final one I’ll mention is the one three-shot I’ve gotten to, Queen of Chaos. Harley Quinn is reborn as fem. Izuku and lives a normal life until All Might shoots down her dream. Then she decides to change things her way, as a supervillain. She teams up with Dabi and Toga (even helping her). She even stops the League of Villains attack on UA and saves Todoroki’s mother. I wish there had been more of this.

I’ve gotten to volume 19 of Death March in Parallel World Rhapsody. There were quite a few changes. One, Satou still can’t chant as he never got that orb in the auction. Two, Satou isn’t from Hikaru’s (Mito’s) world, but a parallel one. So, she waiting for her Satou. Three, they never had to deal with ‘his majesty’ turning into a demon as he was never even mentioned. Four, Arisa has another brother who is alive and trying to retake their kingdom. He still had to deal with the ‘Evil’ God’s offshoots the same way, so that’s something. There’s more changes, but those are the biggest ones.

I’m on volume 5 of The Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter. The War has started and Iris has deal with that and other things in her territory. It’s the last one from her story. Finally, I’ve started Effects and Side Effects by Pheonix Dawn. It’s a Harry Potter AU that changes after the Department of Mysteries. Voldie wants his soul fragment back and sends a potion to Draco to give to Harry that will help with that. When it’s given to Harry, he fights back and destroys the fragment, but there are side effects. The most prominent being that he’s turned into a girl. Eight witches swear themselves into his services and accidently end up married to him. This is their story. Sadly incomplete and was last updated in 2015.

Onto the quest, first is Another Little White Lie by rayrae118. This is a Star Trek AU from the most recent movies (2009). James T. Krik runs away at a young age to his aunt and uncle. This is his story as his genius gets him in and out of trouble. He even meets most of his crew early. This is the first of a set of stories and goes through the end of the first movie. The whole series is finished. I’ve actually talked about it before here.

Second is Another Path by DragonflyDream. It’s a Katekyo Hitman Reborn fic where things are very different. Tsuna has a twin who his mother treats better than him. This leads Tsuna to meet and befriend Hibari and Shoichi and early. They eventually have to flee when his twin tries to kill him. It’s very interesting, but sadly unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2022.

Third is Another Path by Selector. It’s a Worm fic, where Taylor gets another power. To be completely honest even glancing over this one I don’t remember much about it, which is something in and of itself. It has six chapters and I can’t even tell if it’s finished looking at the end of the last chapter.

Next is Another Soldier Reporting by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Harry Potter crossover. Lal Mirch is fem Harry and is sent back in time. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s incomplete and hasn’t been updated since 2019. After that is Another Way by ack1308. It’s a Worm AU where Marquis wasn’t captured and raised Amelia. I’ve also talked about it before here. It’s still updating but has 40 chapters so far.

Then is Answering the Call by Mirrond. It’s a My Hero Academia AU where Izuku is All for One’s son and wants to be a hero and manages to convince other villain’s kids to become heroes too. All for One decides if you can’t beat them, join them and blackmails Nezu into becoming vice principal and to make a new class for the villains’ kids. It’s definitely crack as All Might gets really weird. Incomplete, but unsure if continuing.

Finally is Appearances Can Be Deceiving by soulofdarkandlight. It’s another My Hero Academia UA, but not as cracky. After All Might offers Izuku his quirk, he goes home and finds his cousin. Said cousin doesn’t care if he’s quirkless or not and decides to do something about how he’s treated. It has 64 chapters, but sadly hasn’t updated since July 2023.

Got a few trainings and the massive company conference coming up, so it’ll be a busy week. Have a great week and… May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Quest Week (and I’m on Time!)

Hello everyone!  I’m on time today, so yay!  More Taylor Varga and From Fake Dreams this week.  Another one full of work, including a ‘half’ day today.  With the Chicago Go Fest happening, shiny Pokémon are more prevalent and Horsea and Abra (maybe Clefairy) are now shiny.  The new chapters this week are: Seerking’s Asylum (Mon & Thurs), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Service with a Smile, Worm – Waterworks, Game On! 3 1, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Heroes Assemble!, Red String, Short Story Drabbles, Demon Skylark, Titanfall, Archer, Ginny’s Plan, Are You Afraid of the Dark? & Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo.

There’s not much this week, so I’ll just get to the Myrddin de Celestis quest, Chapter 51 was Rose Potter and the Mirror of Fate.  It was a three-chapter Harry Potter story where Rose Potter is Harry’s hidden twin sister.  They run into each other on their birthday before first year at Diagon Alley.  It only really covers them shopping and going to the Weasley’s house.  It’s okay, but short.

Chapter 52 is Juniper Rose Potter is a Prankster.  It’s a two-chapter story where Fem. Harry has both her parents and is heading to Hogwarts.  On the train she meets Ginny and they vow themselves to each other.  It doesn’t go much past a different sorting hat song.

Chapter 53 is King of Bandit.  It’s the longest story so far (I know a longer one later as I looked ahead) at 28 chapters originally.  It’s a Harry Potter, Breathe of Fire and Dragon Ball Z crossover (though I don’t really know how DBZ fits in).  Harry’s parents live, but his twin is thought to be the girl-who-lived.  Harry is ignored and runs away at a young age.  He meets the King of Bandit and is trained by him.  He comes back around 6th year for a stealing job and becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (but very different).  He gets together with Luna, Ginny and an Original Character and sets his sister and Hermione up with OCs.  It’s good, I’ve read it before and I’m sad to see it in here.

Chapter 54 is Hunters Guild and is a sort of reworked version of the previous story.  It was six-chapters and is okay.  Harry is taken by the ‘Hunters Guild’ when it’s learned he’s not wanted and is trained by them.  After several people from the guild give up on protecting his sister because of idiots around them, Harry’s given the job.  Essentially the same pairings I assume.

Chapter 55 is Order of the Covenant.  It was a Harry Potter one-shot where the Potter triplets are split up to protect them and meet up on their birthday before Hogwarts.  The ‘Girl-Who-Lived’ was not supposed to go to the Dursleys, but Dumbles interfered.  Can’t tell how good it is because it’s only a chapter.

Chapter 56 is Demonic Wars.  It was a Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon (though it’s not shown) one-shot.  In the second series, Sakura is attacked by a demon after she turns Watery.  This leads her to liking Tomoyo(?) and running away to protect her family.  Like I said, no Sailor Moon yet.

Chapter 57 is Fade into the Shadows.  It was an eleven-chapter Twilight story.  Before Bella goes to Forks she learns she’s a reincarnated ninja and retrains herself.  Same basic plot except that Edward and Alice switch places (yes that means he’s with Jasper, get over it).  Things are different, but you’ll have to read to find out.

Chapter 58 is Uncharted Void.  It was a five-chapter Harry Potter and Skulduggery Pleasant crossover (though once again, no Skulduggery Pleasant in it as far as I know).  When Harry goes down the pipe to save Ginny in CoS, he ends up far deeper than he expected.  He fights ancient creatures and learns things before he fights Tom.  Skips most of third year and is changing the timeturner incident like the CoS.

Chapter 59 is Fallen Star. It was a two-chapter Twilight story.  It’s a stupid little one where after Edward dumps her she gets powers (from a meteorite?) and ends up gathering girls to have sex with and fight evil and stupidity (I think).  Yeah, don’t really like this one.

Chapter 60 is Fairytail World Tour.  It’s was Harry Potter and Fairy Tale(?) one-shot.  While at the DoM in Year 5 Harry ends up in the world of Fairy Tales, but things are very different.  Can he fix things, who knows, it’s only a chapter.

That’s it for today, thanks for reading and hope you have a great week.  May Your 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 (1st Sat, 2nd Sat), The Unseen Hunt (Mon, 2nd 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 12th birthday is his 11th before ‘2nd’ 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!)

I Have an Archive Now

Friday

So, like I mentioned last post, I made an archive for my posts. A link to it can be found on the menu at the top of the main blog. It is separated into months for now, but I will be working on it so that it will be better accessible. I read some more God Slaying Blade Works, but mainly focused on Desperately Seeking Ranma. The only new chapter for today was from Mauling Snarks.

Because I was busy with life, I didn’t read much else today. Therefore, I’ll talk about Shokugeki no Soma (or as the American’s have renamed it, Food Wars!). It’s about Soma Yukihara, a teenager who loves cooking and wants to surpass his father and take over the family restaurant. However, when his father leaves to travel the world, he sends his son to an elite culinary school called, Totsuki Saryo Culinary Institute. They only take the best and he does get in, but the school has an interesting practice, Shokugeki (or Food War). It’s a contest between people where both sides put have agreed to something happening if they lose (like giving the other person their position of power within the academy or agreeing to let a club continue instead of disbanding it). Watch how Soma and his friends learn more about how to cook while dealing with the challenges in their way. It’s fun and I need to catch up on it. It started off as a manga, but now has 3 anime seasons.

Nothing more today, so I’ll end this part here.

Saturday

I read a bit more God Slaying Blade Works, but again was mostly Desperately Seeking Ranma. The new chapters for today were: Stand Together and Smile (the last one of this story, with a maybe sequel in the future), Relic of the Future, Ashes to Flame, Stark Imprint and Heroes Assemble! I didn’t read much else, but I did watch parts of a few animes.

The first one was the first half of the first season of Initial D. Initial D (for initial drift) is an anime/manga about street racing by Shuichi Shigeno. It’s about Takumi (Tak) Fujiwara, who has been delivering tofu from his dad’s shop to hotels and other places on the other side of the mountain nearby every day before sunrise. He has become very good at driving it with his father’s (unbeknownst to him) subtle training. This has led him to not care very much about driving or racing, to his friends at the gas station he works at horror. One of his friends is on the local street racing team, which is challenged to a downhill race. Upon hearing that Tak’s father was once a famous street racers, he is asked to do the race. He instead sends Tak in his Toyota Sprinter Trueno (AE86) with a promise that if he wins, he can take the car for a date with a full tank of gas. He wins, but then becomes more involved in the street-racing world.   It’s a good anime and manga. It’s finished now with 719 chapters in the manga, 5 anime seasons, three movies and several OVAs.

The second one was a few episodes of Gurren Lagann. Gurren Lagann is one of the best ‘manly’ mecha animes around. It’s about Simon and Kamina, two humans, who, like the rest of their species, are forced to live in underground villages in a dystopian future by the Spiral King, Lordgenome. They dream of going to the surface and eventually get the chance to with a mecha named Lagann and a hot girl named Yoko. They eventually form Gurren Lagann, a team to free the world of the rule of Lordgenome and the beast men. It’s got 27 episodes that will make you laugh and cry, along with make you want to shout, “Who the hell do you think I am!”

I also heard that someone stole the KHIII game from a shipping company and that’s they’re playing and selling copies. I’m not happy with that for multiple reasons, but I’m not gonna pay attention to any information that’s not verified from the makers. Looking forward to the last trailer on Tuesday though. That’s it for now; tomorrow’s only a line away!

Sunday

Today was once again full of Desperately Seeking Ranma, with maybe a chapter of God Slaying Blade Works. The new chapters today were: The Unseen Hunt, Prime Directive: Hero and Tsunami. I didn’t do much else except for watching someone play through to where the Japanese version of KHUx (KH Unchained x) is (about 35 ‘episodes’ ahead) and learned what Larxene’s real name is (but I’m not gonna say).

I also read a fanfiction by VFSNAKE called ‘Naruto of the Saiyans.’ It has Bardock ending up on the Kyubi’s back instead of dying and getting sealed into Naruto as well. He and the Kyubi work together to change Naruto into a Saiyan and their work comes together when Orochimaru seals Naruto’s seal in the Forest of Death. When his teammates leave him for dead, he comes back better than even and plans to never be a pawn again. It has eight chapters currently and is infrequently updated.

R Rated Content

There are sexual situations, but no actual sex. This is currently limited to the omakes at the end of the chapters, but may come into the story itself later on.

Because I don’t have anything else, I’ll talk about Full Metal Panic! Full Metal Panic! is a light novel turned anime by Shoji Gatoh. It’s about a former child soldier, now a part of an anti-terrorist private military organization (Mithril), named Sousuke Sagara. He’s sent to Japan to protect a high school girl named Kaname Chidori, along with his teammates Kurz Weber and Melissa Mao. Why she’s being protected and who’s targeting her are unknowns to them.

Sousuke is sent to her school, but as he has never been in a ‘normal’ situation, he is considered a military nut and Kaname is very annoyed that he keeps trying to protect her. Eventually, the enemy attacks and everything is revealed, including the reason why bipedal machines even exist in a world that is not that different from our own. It’s a good series with 23 novels and 4 anime series (including one that’s just for silliness and is awesome called Fumoffu, the name is eventually explained).

Have a great day and I’ll see everyone when I post tomorrow!

Monday

Today was yet again full of Desperately Seeking Ranma, but the end is in sight. The new chapters for today were: Move On: Tales of Marinette & Adrien, Black Sky (there is going to be a full week of updates! Sqweee! [yes, I’m excited, so what?]), Mauling Snarks, Celestial Worm and Death March (Yay!). There was also the early release of the last KHIII trailer! Which can be found here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz1w_uW3lSE.  There’s so much info and WTF in it, I don’t know what to think. Still looking forward to Jan 29th though.

I watched the first few episodes of Death Parade, but it’s not really catching my interest. I really like the opening theme, but the series just seems kinda meh to me. It’s about how if two people die at the same time, instead of just being judged, they are sent to Decim at the Quindecim bar to play a game to discover where their souls belong (reincarnation or the void). A female human with no name works as his assistant, learning how to judge human souls, while helping Decim learn how to read into the emotions behind the actions.

That’s a wrap for today, looking forward to posting on Thursday! I may take off for Christmas after that, but I don’t know yet. I’ll mention it next time if I decide to. See you then!

The Long (Holiday) Weekend

Friday

Today I continued rereading Legion, but I didn’t finish and only got to chapter 20. There were some new chapters that I read for Queen of the Seas, Cambion, Mauling Snarks and Parva Sub Ingenti. I also played some Pokémon Sun.

As I might have mentioned in my first post, I have all of the Pokémon on the main games in my Pokémon Bank. When I say that I mean that I have at least one copy of every Pokémon released (I hatched eggs from the fully evolved forms to get it so. I got the mythical ones from the events for the 20th anniversary.). One day when I was bored, I decided to level all of them up to 100.

It’s not easy let me tell you that. I have ‘level caps’ that I get them to then go to the next one to raise to that level cap. It goes 20, 35, 50, 70, 90 and finally 100. I can proudly say that none of them are less than level 35.

What I’ve done typically is to restart a game that I’ve cleared all but one my Pokémon in (cause one has to be in the party) and start playing. Since none of my target Pokémon are below 35 I train up extra or event Pokémon (like my hat Pikachus. It’s too bad the ones in the original games can’t evolve, I have enough for that. Maybe with the Let’s Go games I’ll be able to transfer some of my hat Raichus. Who knows?  I also finally got Celebi on PoGo thanks to the psychic event!

Anyway, the only other story I read was ‘Secrecy’ by Serena530. It’s a Harry Potter story where Harry learns Ron and Dumbledore are betraying him at the beginning of 2nd year. He starts staying away from Ron and Hermione (because she doesn’t notice the changes Ron forces on him) and becomes friends with Ginny. Watch how Harry and Ginny deal with the challenges that come before them! I like this one, but the author hasn’t updated it in a while. The story link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7684812/1/Secrecy.

Nothing else for today, I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!

Saturday

Hm, so I did a lot today. First of all I finished off Legion (wow four chapters, snort). Second I read the new chapters for Queen of the Seas and Relic of the Future. There was also a new chapter for a story called ‘Sealed Legacy’ by Psycho G. It’s a Naruto story where when Naruto is young, Jiraya stumbles upon a Uzumaki seal that when he activates it (not knowing what it does) almost kills him sending his knowledge and chakra to Naruto. Naruto slowly gets this knowledge and gets some of Jiraya’s habits too. It’s a good story but hasn’t been updated in while, so I was surprised to see it. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7344530/1/Sealed-Legacy.

Third, I started rewatching Darker Than Black because I kept getting updates for a story about it from an author I’m following named Brennus. They wrote a one-shot I mentioned earlier called ‘In the Heat of the Night.’ The story was called ‘Darker Than Black – Heaven’s Gate,’ and I rewatched some of it to remember the characters and story.

Darker Than Black is an anime about Hei, who has the ability to control electricity. He is a ‘contractor,’ someone who’s lost their emotions to get a power. They and ‘Dolls’ (those who also lost their emotions, but can track people instead) evolved from some people when the ‘Heaven Gate’ and ‘Hell Gate’ appeared one day. Hei or as he is dubbed ‘The Black Reaper’ works for ‘The Syndicate’ in tracking down targets and information.

Hei is not a normal contractor as he shows some emotions. He works with a Doll named Yin, an animal consciousness transfer contractor (this means that he can transfer his consciousness to animal) who is stuck in a cat’s body after his own died and a bitter human named Huang who doesn’t like contractors who is the leader. Hei wants to find his sister who disappeared and gets caught up in many events.

I only watched 13 of the 24 episodes (for now), but it was enough for what I needed and read the story. It’s okay, the story takes place after the second series and the author kills off the main female protagonist so another can get together with the main character. There’s only one chapter left, so we’ll see how the ending goes. Here is the link to the story – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13001503/1/Darker-than-Black-Heaven-s-Gate.

Fourth, I started looking for a story I couldn’t remember the name of and now I think its been deleted from Fanfiction.net. I have a store of all the stories on it up to 2015 (no, I didn’t make it) that I eventually found a while back. I eventually found it, ‘Survival of the Lamest’ and its sequel ‘Revenge of the Lamest’ by ShadowMajin.

It’s about Gohan’s class (before he goes to school) goes to his home to ‘camp’, silliness ensues. Also, Goku is alive for some reason. The second one is when Gohan actually goes to school. (This is Monday Matt – I was wrong these two are still up, see my day to get more on this.) I also found ‘Impasse’ and ‘Finesse’ by Dr. Trunks Briefs, I’ll talk about theses when I read them. (Monday Matt again, these are gone from ff.net.)

I didn’t read any of these, but if some wants to read them, let me know and I can send them to you. If anyone wants the archive, I’ll look up the link I got it from and send it to you. However just the zip files for them are several GB large each and the A archive (the archive for all the stories that start with A [the original stories not the fanfiction] and their crossovers) is 10.86 GB. So if want the archive make sure you have lots of space.

Moving on, I also read a new story for me called ‘Eighteen Years a Prodigy’ by AUS Wild Thing. It’s a Dragon Ball Z story I found while searching for the above stories. It’s about Videl, Erasa, and Sharpener going to a work-study program at Capsule Corp (CC). There they meet Gohan who has worked for CC (and never gone to school) for 2 years and is the head of Science and Inventing. It’s an interesting story, but slow updates based on it being started in 2015 and the latest update (the 5th chapter) being in November 2017. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11300579/1/Eighteen-Years-a-Prodigy.

I actually have one more new fanfiction and a new story that are connected, but because today’s post is long and I’ll be reading a lot more of the story tomorrow I’ll leave it till then. So long!

Sunday

The story I mentioned yesterday is called Soul Land and I discovered it yesterday after reading a fanfiction that has it as a crossover with KHR. The fanfiction is a new one by sakurademonalchemist (so soon after the start of Queen of the Seas? Really?) called ‘Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers.’ It has Fon reborn along with the main character and changing the story. Viper/Mammon is also tagged so I assume he/she (the original story never shows their gender) will be in it too. Only one chapter so couldn’t tell how will go. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13085596/1/Rising-Dragon-Hidden-Hammers. It says it’s crossovered with ManHua/Chinese Comics, but that’s just because there aren’t many fanfictions for Chinese comics (or Korean ones) so they just lump them all together into one category for each country.

Anyway, after reading the chapter I went to find the original story. Soul Land is about Tang San (no, San is his name not a Japanese honorific) who is reincarnated after killing himself for stealing secrets from his clan to help them. At 6 they get a spirit that they can train to get stronger. He gets a Blue Silver Grass (a weak spirit) and a Hammer. He hides the hammer (because none has two spirits) but proves he’s powerful by showing he has lots of spirit power. He goes to an academy to learn how to train his spirit. He has many adventures after that.

I started reading the manga yesterday, but only got to about chapter 21. Today I got to chapter 182. There are currently 212 chapters.

I also read new chapters for The Unseen Hunt, Enough, Queen of the Seas and Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers. There were also several new chapters for stories I haven’t mentioned yet. One of these stories is ‘White’ by Melkor’s Mercy. It’s a Bleach story where Ichigo is eaten by the hollow from the first chapter because Rukia wasn’t in the human world yet. He takes over the hollow and starts changing things in Hueco Mundo. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11021904/1/White.

The next one is ‘Under the Sea’ by ginnyrules27. It’s a Harry Potter and “Little Mermaid” crossover. I’d describe the Little Mermaid, but if you haven’t seen it… Go See It Right Now! I mean really, it’s a classic and everyone should be able to say they’ve seen it, even if they hate it. It has the Dudley accidentally trying to drown Harry when he was young. He is found by the Ariel (who is the same age) and Triton makes him a merman. After a few years, Harry is found by McGonagall and Snape who transform him back and erase Harry’s and Ariel’s memories of each other. They meet each other in his fourth year. This is not a Harry/Ariel story. They end up with their cannon spouses. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8673544/1/Under-the-Sea.

The last new update is for ‘New Developments’ by Illioh. It’s a Dragon Ball Z story where a spy satellite falls down after Gohan goes to school. It has footage from the Cell Games. How will this change things? Find out from this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7629710/1/New-Developments.

Finally, I started rereading a Slytherin Harry fanfic called ‘Becoming Alpha’ by Miz636. It has Harry going to Slytherin and trying to combine the houses. This is a great story and I love reading it and it’s sequels. This one goes through third year. The overall story is complete and I really recommend it. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6389117/1/Becoming-Alpha.

See you tomorrow when this is posted!

Monday

Today I mostly finished rereading Becoming Alpha, playing Pokemon Sun and did work around the house. I read the new chapters for Rising Dragon, Hidden Hammers, Mauling Snarks and Queen of the Seas. I also read an older fic by sakurademonalchemist (meaning it’s unfinished) called ‘Heart of the Soul.’ It’s a KHR crossover with “Ghost Hunt.” Ghost Hunt is a light novel/anime about a girl named Mai who becomes a part of a paranormal agency who try to help those who are afflicted with those types of problems. It’s good! In the fanfic Mai is a female Tsuna who was run out of the house after her brother erased their mother’s memories of her. This one is also good! It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12581425/1/Heart-of-the-Soul.

The last story I read was ‘By Your Side is Where I Belong’ by TexasBean. It’s a One Piece and Naruto crossover. It has Zoro taking Naruto and Gaara (both 9ish) with him a few years before he would join Luffy. Thus Naruto and Gaara also join the One Piece crew. This link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12290800/1/By-Your-Side-is-Where-I-Belong.

I also learned that Survival of the Lamest and Revenge of the Lamest are still up. The link to SotL is here –https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3637125/1/Survival-of-the-Lamest and the link to RofL is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4125319/1/Return-of-the-Lamest.

Sorry, it’s short. Want to get this up today. See you Thursday!

A Weekend for a Few Readers

So it looks like there were a few people who visited this past weekend. Thanks to those who did! Lets see if we can’t get more people to come. On to the weekend!

Friday

There were four new chapters that came out today. One for Stark Imprint, which reveals that it ‘happens’ after whatever the conclusion of the Avengers 4 movie.  The second one was for Parva Sub Ingenti and has the group going back through the Gate to Earth. The third one was of course Mauling Snarks (as usual). The last one was for a story a previously mentioned author, ack1308, called ‘It Gets Worse.’ Like most of his stories, it is based on Worm. Instead of Taylor triggering with Insect Control, she gets an unconscious power that brings bad luck to those who wish her harm or discomfort. This leads to hilarious situations and many things are solved. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11651073/1/It-Gets-Worse.

For most of the rest of the day I read Reaching for a Dream from yesterday and it’s three sequels. Reaching for a Dream is a straight Naruto fic, but at the end of it (30 chapters) they story leaves that universe. The second story is in the Justice League universe. Naruto and his wife (the Kyuubi) decide to try ‘Trolling the League.’ No, really that’s the name of the fic. It’s only 8 chapters, but it’s amusing. The fic can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10486210/1/Trolling-the-League. However, it and the other sequels will not make sense with out reading the proceeding fics.

The third in the series is called ‘Sekirei? Is that some new species of little sister?’ The two go to the Sekirei universe (as is stated in the title) so Naruto can find some little sisters (it’s a common theme, he had some in the first story as well). He ends up derailing the Sekirei plan and of course finding some little sisters. This one is 17 chapters and is amusing. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10623866/1/Sekirei-Is-that-some-new-species-of-little-sister.

The last (currently) in this series is called ‘The(questionable) burdens of leadership of a troll Emperor.’ It takes place in the Stargate universe and starts long long before the original movie. Naruto and his wife decide to make an empire for his new little sisters, starting on a distant planet and planning to take over the galaxy(ies). I didn’t finish this today, but hope to tomorrow. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10917821/1/The-questionable-burdens-of-leadership-of-a-troll-Emperor.

To be honest, I haven’t really watched any Stargate before today. So, I watched the original movie to get a feel for it. I liked it, but I could have done without a family member ruining the ending on the way to dinner.

Oh, before I end today, I remembered that with all the Quartermass fics, I forgot to write about the Seerking story that updated on Wednesday. It’s called ‘Campione of the Raging Tides’ and is (obviously) set in the Campione universe. It has the eighth Campione being born, an OC (Original Character) named Jean Campbell. It shows her (re)birth and actions after becoming a Campione. It’s really good, but it’s a yuri(girl with girl) fic. Like I continue to say, Don’t Like, Don’t Read. So many problems could be solved that way. The fic can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10973601/1/Campione-of-the-Raging-Tides. See you tomorrow (NOW!).

Saturday

Not really much to say today. I finished The(questionable) burdens of leadership of a troll Emperor and read more of Becoming a Man among Men. The new story I read is called ‘Deku: The Golden Saiyan Hero of Hope. This is a My Hero Academia and Dragon Ball series crossover (though the author doesn’t label it that way). It has Deku finding his quirk? (This is unknown, it might be he just awakened his heritage as a Sayian. It’s unclear.) while also getting One for All. Watch as he combines them and takes the world by storm. The fic link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12964339/1/Deku-The-Golden-Saiyan-Hero-of-Hope.

Since I mentioned the Dragon Ball series, I might as well go a little bit in depth on it for those who don’t know. The Dragon Ball series’ main character is Goku Son (or Son Goku in Japanese naming with the last name first). Goku is a Saiyan. Saiyans are a species of human like aliens who look human with a tail that can transform into an uncontrollable giant ape during the full moon. They were a mercenary group that took over planets and sold them. Goku was sent to Earth as a baby to destroy it, but an accident erases this instinct.

When he is 11 or 12, a girl named Bulma comes to his mountain home looking for a Dragon Ball. They are a set of seven golden balls with 1-7 stars on them that grant a wish to the one who gathers them. This sets them on journey that leads to many friends and enemies. His journey until he turns 18 (and gets married) happens in Dragon Ball. Dragon Ball Z continues his story and his son Gohan’s as well. There are many movies, specials and games along with newer series Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Heroes. If you want to watch everything, it will take a long time.

Other than that, today was the day that Moltres was available for three hours in raids (PoGo). I went out and got the shiny version (YAY), but right after that the game went buggy and after waiting a while I get went home. I got what I wanted; I don’t need more than one. On to tomorrow!

Sunday

Today had some more new chapters for stories, though they’re all Quartermass ones. The fics were Warlock, Parva Sub Ingenti and Plenipotent Player Prince. I also read a new fic from him called ‘Revenant.’ It’s a Harry Potter and X-Men crossover. After things go wrong and most of his friends die at his & Ginny’s wedding (He does, but Master of Death), Harry takes revenge as is put through the veil, ending up in the Xavier home a few years before the First Class movie. He joins the cast, but how will he change things?   The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12965213/1/Revenant.

I started, but didn’t read much of, ‘One Punch Man: A tad different’ by CrimsonSZ. One Punch Man is about a man called Saitama who trained to be a hero for fun to fight against monsters. However, he is so powerful, one punch is all it takes to kill his enemies. In this fic instead of being ignored by the Hero’s Association, he meets the number 2 hero, Tatsumaki, during the first episode. It’s a bit hard to read, maybe just because of the writing style, but I’ll do my best to finish it. The fic can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12725971/1/One-Punch-Man-A-tad-different.

I also read the fic, ‘Reincarnation Roulette’ by Nemesis13. It’s a Code Geass fic with Lelouch having been reincarnated millions of times. This one has him as female and is during the Japanese invasion. Things are very different. It only has 6 chapters, but I’m looking forward to more. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12746654/1/Reincarnation-Roulette.

The last story for today is ‘Remnant’s Maelstrom Shinobi’ by MothBallz. It’s a Naruto and RWBY crossover with Naruto being sent a long time into the future to save him. The future is the RWBY universe. Watch as Naruto adapts and learns what happened to the shinobi world. (doesn’t have very many Naruto characters, mostly referenced). The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10788245/1/Remnant-s-Maelstrom-Shinobi.

So you tomorrow, when I post this!

Monday

I started off reading some more of The Remnant Knight and One Punch Man: A tad different, but haven’t finished rereading them yet. There were some more new chapters: Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies that Won’t Stop Buggin Me, Mauling Snarks, Parva Sub Ingenti and Plenipotent Player Prince.

Then I read a new fic (for me) called ‘The Healing Touch’ by xpegasus. It is a My Hero Academia fic that has Deku finding that he does have a quirk that allows him to heal himself and others when he meets All Might. It’s interesting. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12915297/1/The-Healing-Touch.

I started reading another My Hero Academia fic named ‘Headstart’ by Kamil the Awesome. It has All Might finding Deku 4 years earlier and allowing him to get One for All earlier and train with it. Find out how it changes many things. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12389062/1/Headstart.

I started rereading a fic called ‘Viridescent’ by darkfire1220 that is also a My Hero Academia fic. It has Deku having a quirk, but not using it because he is afraid of other’s reactions to it. This is because it is the same as his (OC) villain father’s. It has him getting One for All, but also attracting All for One’s attention. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12659220/1/Viridescent.

I read a lot of My Hero Academia fics today, right? The last one is called ‘Prime Directive: Hero’ by awkardnaut626. It has Deku finding out he does have a quirk at 4, that allow him to analyze anything, including quirks, and use it (including other’s quirk powers). See how this changes things. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12914247/1/Prime-Directive-Hero.

The last fanfiction I read today was ‘Time and Sand’ by Scififan33.   It is a Star Wars story (yeah, I’m not going to explain this one. Look it up if you don’t know.). Luke ends up in the past before Episode I on Tatooine. He ended up there after an AU (Alternate Universe) of The Last Jedi where Luke goes with Rey to Ben. He takes in Anakin and his mother and teaches him. See how things change. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12410879/1/Time-and-Sand.

Hope more people come to the blog and see everyone on Thursday!
