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!)

Anime Week (and the New Quest Continues)

Hey peoples! It’s once again time for Matt’s ramblings! It’s been a pretty boring week, but at least my hours are back up again. Yay! I’ve mostly been rereading (more like listening) to Death March web novel. The new chapters this week are: Relic of the Future, Less Than Zero, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Mauling Snarks (Sat, Mon & Fri), The Unseen Hunt, The Rising of the Shield Heroine, Celestial Worm, Seerking’s Asylum, Ginny’s Plan, Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, Naruto: The Game of Life, Titanfall and Taylor Varga (Omake).

I participated in the Torchic Community Day for PoGo even though I wasn’t feeling the greatest, but I still got seven shinies! It’s raid week and tomorrow there’ll be three hours where Lapras will be available as a raid boss continually and it has a shiny chance! I watched the new anime The Rising of the Shield Hero and was honestly not that impressed (especially with the last few episodes). I’ve read the chapters that depict that battle and they drew out it, a lot. Though I have to say I’m looking for to the next episode where some characters get their comeuppance (read the princess and the King)!

I also watched what’s out for the anime Wise Man’s Grandson. It’s another transported to another world anime based off a light novel. It has a man get reborn into a new world when he dies and is taught magic by his adopted grandfather (who is very famous, but never tells the main character). He’s very powerful by the time he becomes 15, but he’s never taught anything about the common sense of the world. Watch as he goes to Magic Academy and changes the world!

Finally (for this part) I watched the first season of Overlord (another anime from a light novel based on a transported person). This one has a gamer whose favorite game is shutting down. He’s the last of his guild around and decides to stay online until the server is shut down. He changes a line in an NPC, saying that she’s in love with him. When the server is shut down, he and the base are transported to a new world. The NPC’s come to life and he is stuck as a Lich. He investigates the world and plans to spread the name of his guild Aniz Ooal Gown so if others of his guild are there, they’ll find him. There are now three seasons and 13 light novels out now.

I’ll do the new fanfics before the quest stories. The author of Mauling Snarks (CmptrWz) has a new story, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard? It’s a Worm and Lyrical Nanoha crossover. A broken Unison device from Belka finds Taylor triggering and finding her a good match (magically) ‘eats’ the Shard. It’s interesting even though there are only three chapters so far.

Next, I read Overlord – Lich and Vampire by Seerking (because I was watching the anime). It’s the same, except another guild member logs on not long before the server shuts down and is also transported with everyone. Watch as she changes things (though not much since it’s only five chapters and hasn’t been updated since 2017).

Then, sakurademonalchemist came out with a new story (though I know it from a compliation fic), Demon Skylark. It’s a KHR and Naruto crossover where Kyouya is reborn (lol) into Naruto Uzumaki. He hates Konoha because it’s full of fake carnavores and he runs away to Suna. There he meets Fem Gaara (Gaia) and they become close. Only one chapter so far.

Onto the quest with Myrddin de Celestis, Chapter 20 is Ruby’s Fate. It was a two-chapter RWBY and Harry Potter crossover. Fem. Harry leaves her universe and ends up in the RWBY one. There’s not much here, but she ends up helping them during the end of season 2.

Chapter 21 is Hidden Paths. It was an eight-chapter Harry Potter story where after Dumbledore dies, Harry discovers that Dumbles sealed away much of his potential. It starts coming back to him in segments. He and Ginny train to put an end to the war. Then Dumbles returns. It’s okay but needs some editing. Chapter 22 (Impossible Awakening) is a different version of the first chapter (it’s better, but darker).

Chapter 23 is GHOST. It was a seven-chapter Harry Potter and Danny Phantom crossover. Danny Phantom is a really great cartoon that ended too abruptly. It’s about Danny Fenton, whose parents are ghost hunters. They build a ghost portal, but it doesn’t work. Danny accidentally fixes it, but becomes half ghost. He uses his ghost form to fight and capture the ghosts. As I said, they ended things really fast. I wish they had continued it.

Harry almost dies saving a kid and awakens his ghost side. He uses it to reveal the dark side of Hogwarts. Along with finding a painting with two more founders. It’s an okay one, but not the greatest. Chapter 24 (Spirit of the Phantasm) is the same, but different and was started after this one. It focuses on going to the Greengrass house first.

Chapter 25 is Time Will Tell. It was a Harry Potter story with five chapters. In it, Harry and Ginny have lived to a future where the war is lost. They use an artifact to go back in time but end up in their baby bodies. Not much, but it’s not bad.

Chapter 26 is Shifters. I’ve read this one a while back and it was fun. It was a twelve-chapter Harry Potter and Negima crossover. It has Harry discovering he is a shifter after second year and can change into anyone he touches. He fakes his death and makes a new identity (Eva from Negima) to give Ginny a friend. They bring changes to Hogwarts. Chapter 27 (TransShift) is a Christmas 5^th year version where he doesn’t fake his death. It’s three chapters, but no Negima crossover.

Chapter 28 is Copykitten. It was a two-chapter Harry Potter and Naruto crossover. It has Fem. Harry being hidden as a male from everyone (including herself). She has mystical eyes that allow her to copy everything she sees, including spells. Doesn’t get much past her going into the Leaky Cauldron.

Chapter 29 is Balance in the Power of Gaia. It was a three-chapter Harry Potter story where Harry is under a spell that causes people/creatures to fall in love with him. He rebels and ends up at the Creeveys. It’s kinda meh in my opinon.

The last one I’ll talk about is Chapter 30, Avenge the Lost. It was a three-chapter Harry Potter, MCU and Avengers crossover. Harry is the brother of the Boy-Who-Lived and when Death Eaters ‘kill’ his youngest sister (she is brought back but doesn’t have control of her magic) he claims he’ll have vengeance and runs away. He meets Black Widow and they have a brief fling. Years later, he returns and starts taking out DEs. It ends with Fury sending Black Widow after Harry for the Avenger Initiative.

That’s it for today. I hope everyone has a great week and I’ll see you next week. May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Let’s Go Weekend! (with some Fantastic Beasts)

Friday

Today I continued to read more of Broken Dreams, but I spent a while playing Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu! There were new chapters for Seerking’s Asylum, Ashes to Flame and Mauling Snarks. A lot of the rest of time was spent rereading the Skip Beat Manga. However –

I did go see Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald tonight! It was very good, though as it is a transitory movie (there are 5 movies overall, last I heard), some (or most) people will not like the ending. I wasn’t a fan of the ending either, but I understood it. I would suggest it, but don’t watch it if you haven’t seen the first one (not much would make sense). As I’m going to be talking about the movie, I’m going to put a spoiler warning here.

Spoiler Warning

So the big one, Queenie. Why did she change sides? The easy answer is that Grindelwald is very persuasive. The more complicated answer is that Queenie was always the most easily swayed of the group, because she is a natural mind reader. She made sure her emotions were the largest of the group because that way they wouldn’t be swayed by others. When Jacob wouldn’t marry her, she spelled him to want to. She fell for him in the first movie because he fell for her and because it was going against what the Ministry wanted.

I think that Grindelwald’s strong mind along with his female lieutenant (didn’t hear her named) persuaded her to go to the meeting. Then with so many people’s thoughts influencing her at the meeting, she went along with Grindelwald.

Credence as a Dumbledore and getting Fawkes. Didn’t see this coming, but maybe he’ll come around and go against Grindelwald. Nagini as a human. I knew about this because it was in previews, but I wonder how she joins Tom. Maybe that will be in a later movie because this would be around the time he would be at Hogwarts (maybe he was in the crowd in Dumbledore’s class and I didn’t recognize him).

Lita dying and her story. Hm, don’t know how she ended up with Theseus, but it may have been a way to not make herself happy after she killed her brother and saving the Scamander brother as penance. The fact that her brother is dead makes me wonder how the Lestrange brothers from the HP movies came about (maybe the dad isn’t dead and he’ll have another kid?)

Spoiler Warning

Nothing more today, see you on the next line!

Saturday

More Broken Dreams today, along with catching up to current on Skip Beat. There were new chapters for Harry Potter and the Stargate, Relic of the Future, Stand Together and Smile (interlude story), Seerking’s Asylum, Ripples and Heroes Assemble! I also finally finished rereading Queen’s Redemption along with more playing Let’s Go Pikachu.

The only new story (rereading, but having mentioned it yet) is another one from kb0 called ‘Harry Potter: Rogue.’ It’s an after Order story where Harry decides to train himself since Dumbles won’t train him. Remus and Ginny are the only ones who can contact him and thus, yes, it is a Harry/Ginny story. Only read a few chapters, but I really like this one. It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3796738/1/Harry-Potter-Rogue.

Not much today, lot’s of Let’s Go.

Sunday

So more Harry Potter: Rouge today, but I didn’t finish it. More Let’s Go Pikachu as well. I finally got to the city were you can trade from Go and get Meltan in Go and did it! I got 9 Meltans and plan to get more in a week when I can. The new chapters for today were It’s in the Cards and The Unseen Hunt.

I reread one of fg7dragon’s stories, ‘Naruto Chaos God.’ It’s the 3 story in the Naruto Chaos series (though the second one ‘Naruto Chaos Demon’ barely has anything) that started with ‘Naruto Chaos Mage.’ It’s a Naruto and Negima crossover. Basically, the Naruto is the evolution of the Negima fake Mars world where something went wrong and most Negima characters sealed themselves into the 10-tailed beast. Years later, when Kyuubi is sealed in Naruto (first sealing ever), he is able to unseal them in his mindscape and they can help him. It’s really good, though I wish the author would write more for either the 2^nd or 3^rd story. The link to the first story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9744216/1/Naruto-Chaos-Mage. The second is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9080655/1/Naruto-Chaos-Demon. Finally the third is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11833883/1/Naruto-Chaos-God.

I also started rereading another one of fg7dragon’s (finished, maybe) stories ‘Gamer of the Sword.’ It’s a Gamer and Type Moon universe crossover with a SI (Self Insert) taking over Shirou who has the Gamer ability. He uses this to change everything. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12974378/1/Gamer-of-the-Sword.

Another short post today. See you when I post tomorrow!

Monday

Finished rereading Gamer of the Sword and played more Let’s Go Pikachu (just got my 7^th badge). The new chapters today are Mauling Snarks, The Gamer and Bits & Bobs. I also only reread some chapters from Uzumaki Naruko: To the Victor, the Spoils starting from where the reading story is currently. Really not much today.

So even though I’m going to sleep soon (long day tomorrow), I’ll talk about another series, D.N.Angel (that’s how I’ve seen it written). It’s a story about Daisuke Niwa, who loves Risa Harada (younger of twins, older named Riku). When his love confession on his fourteenth birthday to her doesn’t work out, he transforms into Dark Mousy. Dark is a family legacy in Male Niwa’s and is a phantom thief. The only way to make him go away is have his love interest love him back, but is Risa really the one? Both the manga and anime are finished, though the anime finished first and has a different (and better, in my opinion) ending. I really like this one and hope you read it!

See everyone on Thursday!

New Story in a Series!

Friday

Today I didn’t read much because of the previously mentioned interview. It took up most of the morning (mostly getting there and back). I thought it went well, but I I’ll find out when I hear back from them if I got the job.

I finished off The Dark Phoenix of Konoha and read the update of Mauling Snarks. Other than that there was an update for another fic I’ve read ‘The Goblet of Fire’s Trap’ by kopakanuvafan20. It’s a crossover between Harry Potter and Negima! Magister Negi Magi.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi (hereafter just called Negima) is about 9 year old Negi Springfield who just graduated from a magic school in Wales and is given his assignment to prove he can be a Magister (The highest rank of mage). This assignment is to teach English at a Japanese All-Girls Middle school. Oh, and he can’t reveal that he has magic or he’ll be turned into an ermine (if you don’t know what that is, just look it up). When he’s a younger teacher to a class of 31 curious young girls, that’s not gonna be easy.

So it’s been a while since I read this one and I’m not going to lie, the writing style is not that great and the story kinda jumps around. Essentially, Harry learn how to become a phoenix animagus after the Chamber of Secrets, goes to learn how to be a Jedi (for like a few paragraphs) then ends up going to Mahora (the school in Negima) and metamorphs into a girl (Roselyn Evans) and goes to school there until he is pulled to England for the Triwizard Tournament. I’m not that interested in it anymore because of the writing style. You can read it, but as I’ve already warned you, be prepared to not like it much. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9196393/1/The-Goblet-of-Fire-s-Trap.

That’s it for today, see you tomorrow!

Saturday

I read and watched a few new stories today so be prepared! The first was a story by White Angel of Auralon called ‘Enough’. It’s a Harry Potter story where Harry knows that Dumbledore and his ‘friends’ don’t have his best interests at heart and trains himself to take his NEWTs right after his OWLs. He deviates from the story by going to a summer camp after fourth year (and Dudley and his gang get kissed because Harry’s not there). There are more changes, but this is first major change to what happens. It has 4 chapters and was just started on the 1^st of this month. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13052816/1/Enough.

I also read a two-part story by the same author called ‘Bolt Fashion’. In it Harry is more practical and works to gain more money from before he goes to Hogwarts. He decides to start his own Fashion line and does so his fifth year. Voldie and his minions get taken out by almost accident. Here is the link to the story – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11692854/1/Bolt-Fashion.

I reread Petrification Proliferation, read more of Honestly Harry – The Year of the Rock and read the new chapters of An Essence of Sliver and Steel, Relic of the Future and How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk.

The next fic I reread is called ‘Aura Shinobi’ by guardsmansparky. It’s a Naruto and Pokemon crossover where Arceus saves Naruto when he tries to Summon without a contract at a young age. He sends Naruto back, but sends Lucario to train him and makes a Pokemon summoning contract for him. Sadly this author hasn’t updated any of his stories since 2015, but you never know they might come back. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9635635/1/Aura-Shinobi.

The next is a Sailor Moon story called ‘Unexpected Restart’ by Serena530. It has Serena (Usagi’s name in the english dub) wishing to restart from when she meet Darien after he dies/is captured (she doesn’t know) after the rest of her team doesn’t really care what happened to him. Her Silver Crystal grants her wish and she changes how everything happens to make it better. I like it and I’ve read other stories by this author that are good, so I recommend it. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12668566/1/Unexpected-Restart.

The last new story I read today is called ‘Underneath the Underneath’ by FlamexFullmetal. It’s a Naruto story with a nice Kyuubi who helps him become stronger. It’s okay, I stopped reading about halfway through for now and I’ll finish it later. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7904046/1/Underneath-the-Underneath.

The last thing I did today was watch the first 3 episodes of the new anime called “Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria” or “The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar” in English. It’s a story about Yuto Suoh who takes a phone photo of himself in front of a ancient mirror that transports him to a different time where he becomes the leader of a warrior society. He wants to go back, if only to see his childhood friend that he can communicate with on his phone if he’s near his version of the mirror. This is his story.

Lastly, Umei no Mei updated Pick up the Pieces and Move On to say that starting Monday and until Friday she will post a chapter to the sequel to it (and the last on in the series) once a day. I’m looking forward to it! It’ll be on the Monday post I assume!

No more for today, see on the flip side (meaning right below this).

Sunday

Today I started rereading Ripples, I got to chapter 50, but that’s not all I read today. I read the new chapters of The Unseen Hunt and Stand Together and Smile. I also read some chapters for stories I haven’t mentioned yet.

The first is called ‘SAO: The Eroge’ by SaintInfernalNeos. It’s a Sword Art Online fic where Kirito gets the power of an eroge protagonist a little before the SAO incident. This means that girls fall in love with him and he can raise their interest points toward him. This causes massive changes this in the SAO universe. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12887197/1/SAO-The-Eroge.

The other update was from ‘Naberius Heir’ by Liam G. This author writes good stories, but none of them have finished. This one is the longest at 24 chapters (the chapters are fairly long though). This one is a Bleach and High School DxD crossover. It has Ichigo having his memories suppressed to save him from the council after the Winter War because his last linage wakes up (hint he’s from devil decent). His Great-Grandfather takes him in and has Rias (pre-story) take care of him. No one from Bleach really knows where he is, though they want to know. See how things turn out. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10023720/1/Naberius-Heir.

Other than that I watched some Youtube videos explaining some of the things that went into Homestuck. Like it being an origin story. I can post the links to them if anyone is actually interested.

Nothing else today, I’m looking forward to the new Pick up the Pieces story!

Monday

Well, first I finished off Ripples. I also read the new chapters for SeerKing’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies that Won’t Stop Bugging Me, Mauling Snarks and I, Panacea. I read the other only Fairy Tail that the real narina has ‘Dreams of Dragons’. It has Acnologia helping Mavis found Fairy Tail (though things still happen with Zeref) and staying on to help it along. Her OC from Ripples is in it, but with different circumstances. It’s pretty good. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12739742/1/Dreams-of-Dragons.

The only other story I read was the one I was looking forward to, ‘Pick up the Pieces and Rebuild’ by Umei no Mei. It’s a good start where Xanxus starts setting things up leave the failing Vongola behind while saving what he can. Really looking forward to the rest of the chapters coming out this week! The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13080563/1/Pick-up-the-Pieces-and-Rebuild.

Seeing as I have not read anything else, I’ll talk about “Fruits Basket.” It’s a manga by Natsuki Takaya about a girl named Tohru Honda. She’s a high school student who attempts to live in a tent after her mother dies. She is found out and ends up living with a few members of the Sohma family, only to learn that they and several other of their family members are cursed (it’s a reoccurring one in the family) to turn into the animals of the Zodiac and the cat. This happens when they are weak or a member of the opposite sex hugs them. Follow her as she meets all of them and tries to help them while learning about herself and even falling in love.

They made an anime for it and while it starts off okay; they just kind of have a tacked on ending for it. I would love to have a reboot of it (like Fullmetal Alchemist), I don’t think it will happen. I hope you look it up!

Thanks for reading and I’ll post again on Thursday!
