Review the Demon Slayer Movie

Hello everyone! It’s been a busier week. Work has been coming to us more as the week goes on. I even stayed late one day to finish off something for the next day. There are still times it’s slow, but that’s because the lady who sends us the work has other work she does and sometimes she has a weird schedule. I never know, but maybe my supervisor does? If so, he doesn’t typically tell us.

I did the Flabébé community day on PoGo and got all three for the yellow and white versions, but sadly only got one of the orange ones. I’ll have to try again in December when they come back for the weekend. The blue and red are in other parts of the world, so I obviously didn’t get any of them.

Anyway, I watched the Demon Slayer movie – Infinity Castle on Friday so I’ll tell you what I thought of it.

[Spoilers]

So, it has great visuals, just like the anime. I’ve completed the manga and from my memory, they did a good job keeping to the plot from it. A friend said 1 to 1, but I haven’t read it recently. I watched the Dub version, because that was what my group wanted to do. Because of that I can’t say how the subbed version sounded, but the dubbed VA’s did a good job. I personally don’t have an issue with them, but many people disliked all the flashbacks, especially how long the last one. My biggest issue with it, other than the fact we have to wait two and four years for the 2^nd and 3^rd movies, is that this honestly could have been a series and not been much different.

It obviously started with them falling into the Infinity Castle. You see the corp. team up start their plan to end the demons. The first fight we have is Shinobu vs. Upper Moon 2 – Doma. She tries her best, but sadly dies against him, just like her sister. Her adopted sister, Kanao finds them rights as she dies and sees her sister give her a signal, then is eaten by Doma. Having read the manga, I know what that meant, but they didn’t finish this fight in the movie.

The next big fight is between Zenitsu and New Upper Moon 6 – Kaigaku. Kaigaku was Zenitsu’s senpai and fellow inheritor of Thunder breathing. Kaigaku couldn’t use form 1, while Zenitsu can only use form 1. Kaigaku couldn’t stand being equal to someone he saw as below him and took the chance to become a demon. This led to their ‘gramps’ Jigoro to commit seppuku, causing Zenitsu to seek Kaigaku out for revenge. Zenitsu seems to be losing, until he realizes there’s not getting through to him and he uses the new Thunder breathing move he made up to kill Kaigaku, though he has many injuries.

The final and longest battle in the movie is between Tanjiro and Giyu vs Upper Moon 3 – Akaza. This is a grudge match because Akaza killed Rengoku in front of Tanjiro and the others. They both take turns trying to kill Akaza, but it’s not doing much because he can sense their ‘fighting spirit’. Tanjiro begins to remind Akaza of someone from his forgotten human memories and wants to kill him even more. Tanjiro eventually remembers something his father taught him and learns how to shut off his fighting spirit. He decapitates Akaza, but he forces his head back on. Giyu knocks it off, but Akaza lives on. However, now he’s starting to remember his human memories.

We learn all about Akaza’s life and how he cared for his sick father, even stealing for him. When he kills himself to give Akaza a better life, Akaza goes a little crazy. Keizo, a martial artist stops him and trains him. Akaza takes care of his sick daughter, Koyuki and they fall in love. They agree to get married, but when he goes away for a night, the neighbor dojo who want the building poison and kill Keizo and Koyuki. Akaza kills all of them and Muzan makes him a demon who wants to be the strongest. Akaza apologizes to his father and adopted family and tries to kill himself. It doesn’t work at first, but then Koyuki appears and they both go to hell together. Giyu and Tanjiro are injured and knocked out, not to mention Giyu’s sword is broken.

Overall, a good, but long movie.

[Spoilers]

After that long movie review, I’ll talk about the changes in what I’m listening to. First off, I finished Reincarnated as a Sword Vol 13. Then, I started relistening to By the Grace of the Gods Vol 1 by Roy. It’s a cute light novel about a worker from a black company who dies and is reincarnated in another world as a young boy. He had many misfortunes in his first life and just wants to be by himself for a while. So, he lives in a forest for three years learning about magic and studying slimes. He eventually is found by the local noble by accident. They convince him to leave live among people. It’s his story in the this new world. However, the three Gods who reincarnated him are researching why his former life was so bad at the whims of Earth’s God. There’re even side stories about what happens to those around him in his previous life.

I finished No Need for Harry by Pheonix Dawn and then listened to The Ad by kb0. It’s a three-part story Harry Potter fic, where Harry finds an ad to deal with pests in the Quibbler after fourth year. He contacts them to take out the death eaters and Vodlie. It’s interesting and doesn’t really say much about what happens after the main part of the story.

I quickly finished it and started listening to The Accidental Bond by kb0. It’s another Harry Potter fic that I’ve talked about here. It’s a Harry/Hermione/Ginny/Gabrielle fic where Harry bonds with girls he’s saved. It’s finished and fairly good.

I also finished Pick Up the Pieces and Rebuild by Umei no Mai and started Broken Dreams by ThunderReborn. It’s a Bleach crossover fic I’ve talked about before here. It’s an Ichigo/Many girls from many stories. He gets the spirits of Kyoka Suigetsu and the Hogokyu after the fight with Aizen and they train him under everyone’s noses. Then he leaves to seek his fortunes. [Content Warning] There is incest, but Ichigo is more than human, so it’s not as skeevy. [Content Warning] It’s ongoing and has 107 chapters and is updated once a month.

Finally, I restarted the section I stopped and added, Princess of Mandalore by L4 of the WEST. It’s a Star Wars and Youjo Senki crossover. Tanya is reborn after her life as the niece of Satine Kryze, Dutches of Manadlore around when Anakin is born. In her efforts to bring her people together, she begins to change things, not only in her territory, but the galaxy. And some people don’t like that. I’ve read most of it, but stopped because I wanted to wait for a situation to be completed. I think it might be soon, so I loaded into my text-to-speech app to listen to.

Okay, I’ll do a quick few ones from my quest as this has become a longer one. The first one is Blacklight by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Forgotten Realms crossover. Fem Harry, Cerridwen accidentally gets reborn as a Drow in Drizzit’s family, but older than him. She escapes first, but they eventually meet up. Sadly only 7 chapters and incomplete.

Second is Blades of an Unlimited Sky by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a KHR and Fate/Stay Night crossover that I’ve talked about before here. It has Shiro as a Tsuna who’s lost his memories. It has 16 chapters and is of course incomplete. Third is Bleach Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist. This is a Bleach one-shot/short story collection for this author and thus is never complete while they’re still posting. I’ve talked about it before here.

Fourth is actually a lost fic, Boku no Hero Academia – Heroism and Villainy At It’s Best. I don’t know the author because when I went looking for it a little while back for this list, I couldn’t find it. I have the two chapters on my text to speech app, so it is what it is. It’s a My Hero Academia two-shot where Izuku, Himiko and Ochaco get together. It has sex scenes in it, but I’m not gonna put warnings because as far as I know, you can’t find it.

Fifth and final is Bolt Fashion by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a two-shot Harry Potter fic that I’ve talked about before here. Harry becomes a fashion designer and saves the day. That’s literally it, just in more words, but still worth a read.

So have a great week and I’ll see you next week. Maybe it won’t be as long. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

It’s Late and Short (Sorry)

Hello again my readers, it’s once again been a boring week. Sorry, this is a day late again. I got caught up in reading and watching anime along with trying to get all the Alpha Unown types in Legends Arceus (I have 18, but the rest are taking a while). I did have to make an almost 5 hour round trip to deliver something to another company site when the original person called in sick on Friday, but that was the only interesting thing. I wrote more for my fanfic, but haven’t finished even 7 chapters yet, so 10 is still a way off.

For more anime I’m watching this season, there’s Scooped Up By an S-Rank Adventurer. It’s about Lloyd, a white mage who was trained in a forest by his master to be better than everyone at his craft (but he doesn’t know it). He leaves and ends up in the hero’s party, only to be kicked out when they have success (not knowing that it was his help that made it so, like the normal cliché). He’s picked up by an S-Rank party and they marvel at what he can do. It’s cliché, but fun none the less. I’ve read the manga to where it is currently and I don’t think the anime is going to catch up this season.

Finally, the last of the main ones I’m watching this season is Lord of Mysteries. It’s a Chinese anime and I’m not really used to hearing Chinese, but it’s fine. I’ve read the manhua for it, but it ended after 65 chapters and I haven’t gotten around to reading the webnovel (that is finished). The anime is visually great, but the pacing isn’t great at first. They really rush the first part, not really explaining anything and now have to have little shorts to explain things a Mysticism class and a chibi shorts. It’s about Zhou from China, who does a luck enhancement ritual and ends up in another world in the body of Klein Moretti who just committed suicide. He has to find out how to return home, while becoming and dealing with Beyonders with unimaginable power. It’s fun, but keep in mind my warnings and watch the shorts.

I haven’t changed much in my listening since last week. I finished Ataraxia by a1lvera5hley and decided to listen to Back to the Beginning by Aliandris that I talked about last week. I’ve also finished Reincarnated as a Sword vol 12 and Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship vol 12 came out on Audible so I’m almost finished listening to it.

Onto the quest, the first one is Be Prepared by Phatom1s. It’s a Harry Potter fanfic where Dumbledore decides to help Harry and screw the vow with the ministry to not have an apprentice (only in this story) after 5^th year. Harry becomes Lord Gryffindor and gets together with Ginny. It moves fast and is more unrealistic then a lot of other fics. Also rated M for a reason. [*Content Warning*] There is underage (14 and 15 year olds) and explicit lemons and limes. Don’t Like, Don’t Read. [*Content Warning*]. It’s actually complete!

The second one is Beautiful Mess by Breanie. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot song-fic. For those who don’t know what a song fic is, it’s a fic where the lyrics are in the story and describe or affect the story. This one has Beautiful Mess by Diamond Rio (a country song) as the main focus. It’s about Harry after the war and how his love for Ginny makes him a little crazy, but it’s worth it.

The third one is Because of the War by AStandupPhilosopher. This one is a Worm and XCOM 2 crossover. It’s based on the 3 chapters in Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies that Won’t Stop Bugging Me that are titled Survive, Adapt, Win. The first one is chapter 43, the second is chapter 54 and the third is chapter 101. Taylor triggers early with the power to have a mental XCOM base and summon combatants from it. She is the Commander and will fix her city. Has a redeemed Sophia and Emma and even saves Canary from her fate beforehand. It says it’s Taylor/Amy, but I don’t think they’ve interacted much in the 17 chapters that are available. It hasn’t updated since Jul 2024, but the author is still posting, just focusing on other fics (that I haven’t read).

After that is Becoming a Man Among Men by Dragon6. It’s a Ranma ½ fic where Ranma finds Genma’s journal and learns about his fiancées and the Man Among Men promise. This changes things as he refuses to go along with the Tendo engagement knowing about the other ones. He decides become a Man Among Men his own way. It’s incomplete and has 45 chapters. It was updated in 2020 and the author said they’d be back, but obviously hasn’t yet.

Then is Becoming Lífþrasir by Midoriko-sama. It’s a How to Train Your Dragon fic. Hiccup actually leaves as Astrid doesn’t find him and things change. Fast forward a few years and Beck decides to go and find the Nest again. It’s up to Hiccup and his dragon rider friends to save them. It’s Hiccup/Astrid and it’s complete with a sequel.

Finally there’s Befriending Sword by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Fate/Stay Night and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover. I’ve talked about it before here.

I got an Eternatus in PoGo and apparently, they’re raising the upper level from 50 to 80 in October. That’ll be fun. Finally bought a Switch 2 and it’ll get in soon. I don’t have any specific games for it yet, but it’s in prep for Pokémon Legends Z-A. 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 2^nd season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Xander meets Ms. Aoyama (Nabiki’s scary other form from DSR), who listens to his story. She tells that this world is a experiment by powerful entities and gives him a portal generator to escape if he needs to. He decides to become a better hunter and even learns meditation. Might be more eventually, but the author hasn’t posted anything since 2022 (sadly).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Travel Weekend

So, as the title says, I’m traveling this weekend. It’s not been as smooth as I would have liked. My original set of flights was cancelled because of the weather issues in Chicago. That flight would’ve left early today (Friday), but the earliest flights after that to my destination (which I’m not saying) was early afternoon. My original flight would have gotten me in around 2 pm, but now I’m getting there around 9:30 pm, fun right?

Anyway, I’m sure you’re asking, why are you traveling this weekend, Matt? I’ve got an annual church association around this time yearly and I’m the technological person for it. I make sure our teacher’s camera and mic for Zoom are set up and to fix anything if the Zoom facilitator finds any issues. The Association meets for most of Saturday, and I’ve got an early flight back Sunday morning because I got work on Monday.

Speaking of work, it’s been mostly the same except I’m also doing the main work of the person who left. It’s not been much because most of the facilities are closed, but the first people are coming back to time and finding things that need to be done. The Director of my department sent me somethings to do if I had time that the job can do, and I did them as quickly as I could.

Does it interfere with my current position? Hm, only a little as there are times when not much is happening, even now. My work is mostly dependent on what other people give to us from two different directions. There are small things that we can do in that down time, but I’ve been finding my own things to do when there’s nothing to do. Not that my supervisor has been very interested in the excel spreadsheets I’ve been making to keep track of some data. But, whatever.

So, coming back to this post on Sunday, there are some updates. My Association went fine. There were some audio issues, but most of them were with the local system at the hotel we were at. I helped as best I could, and I caught up with some friends from the association.

Then, at the dinner that the teacher put on for those of us who were helping during the association, guess what I got? Another notification that my flights were canceled again. I was going through Dallas and once again weather caused issues. Instead of waiting I looked and found a route that mirrored the way I got there in the first place as I knew that wouldn’t cause issues. It was only a few hours later, but I wasn’t much planning to much today, so it’s fine. I’m on my first flight and it’ll probably be a hour or from now when it lands. (Later, my connecting flight spent almost as much time on the ground as in the air due to a panel not getting closed before leaving the gate. Fun right?)

For changes in what I’m listening to, hm, I finished Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter vol 4 and am now listening to Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear vol 1 by Kumanano. It’s a game isekai where after an update, rich shut-in 15 year-old Yuna, logs in and a God sends her to a new world. The biggest issue? It’s with a bear onesie that is the only thing that gives her supernatural power. She’s not thrilled with it, but otherwise she wouldn’t be able to be an adventurer. It’s an amusing story and there are two volumes available on Audible.

I did try and listen to Peddler in Another World by Hiiro Shimotsuki and Berenice Vourdon, but I ran into an issue. I’m not a huge fan of the narrator. I don’t know if it’s the cadence of his voice or how slowly he reads. I may come back and try to listen to it on 1.2 speed to see if that helps, but we’ll see. It’s a novel series on a guy who can travel between two worlds through a door in his grandmother’s house that he recently inherited. She left him magic to transfer one world’s currency to another and so he decides to become a peddler to make money in the new world using products from his world. I’ve read the manga and I liked it, but I’ll try the audiobook later.

I also finished Incandescence and decided since I hadn’t listened to Modern Villainess: It’s Not Easy Building a Corporate Empire Before the Crash by Tofuro Futsukaichi recently, I would. It’s another reincarnated villainess light novel. A Japanese corporate slave (not literally, but she did work herself to death) is reincarnated a villainess in a game that she had been playing. It’s set in slightly different Japan in the recent past. Her family was set to fall to ruin and have her as the scapegoat as the protagonist gets her fiancée. Runa gets her memories very young and decides to use her knowledge and societal position to save herself and as much of the economy that she can. It’s interesting and six volumes are available in the US. I’ve only read through volume 3, but it’s interesting as they actually deal with 9/11 in it. As someone who remembers where I was when that happened, it caught my interest. This is another one I’ve just got in my text to speech reader, not on Audible.

I also moved onto volume seventeen of Death March in a Parallel World Rapsody. The biggest difference for where the story is currently is that he’s not rushing around trying to get money from nobles so they don’t try and get an item he wants from an auction. The item isn’t in the auction at all and it was only mentioned as a side note once or twice as something the MC wants. There are other differences, but that’s the main one.

Moving on the quest, First is Against the Dying of the Light by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night crossover with a Fem. Harry (Phoebe). I’ve talked about it before here. It’s interesting, but as with most of this author’s works, it’s incomplete with 10 chaps.

Second is, Age of Dragons by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a How to Train Your Dragon and The Hobbit crossover. Somehow, Hiccup, his clan and the dragons end up on Middle Earth before The Hobbit. They’re separated, but Hiccup goes to Thorin (as the Vikings speak a language similar to Dwarfish) and then goes out to find his friends. It’s sadly only 2 chapters as it has an interesting start.

Third is, Age of Titans by Kairomaru. It’s an Attack on Titan fic, where the past is slightly different. I will admit to not having read/watched much of AoT, so don’t have much to work from. In this however, Eren is more important than he seems and Annie has been looking for his bloodline. She awakens his titan and gets started on his harem during traning. It’s interesting, has 16 chapters (available on FF, there’s more on their patreon) and is still updating!

Then there’s a fic that’s the second in a set, so I read them in order. First is, Personify: Into the Mind by NoSignalBlueScreen. It’s a Danny Phantom fic. I don’t think I’ve talked about Danny Phantom, so for those who don’t know… Danny Fenton is the teenage son of ghost hunters. One day, his parents built a portal to the Ghost Zone, but it didn’t work. Danny went into it with only his friends nearby and pressed a switch that turned it on. The ghost zone hit him and when he woke up, he had ghost powers. Ghosts were coming through and he decided to defeat them, but is hunted by both his parents and others. It’s completed with 3 seasons and it’s fairy interesting for an oldish cartoon.

In the fic, Danny’s class goes into his mind using a machine to see what secrets he’s keeping lead by the English teacher Mr. Lancer. They get more than they expected and everything he’d been hiding was shared. Not just with his class, but everyone.

Second is the actual next fic, Agent Omega by NoSignalBlueScreen. In it, one of the human villain organizations that Danny goes against, The Men In White, capture him after the events of the first fic. They’ve been told to not hunt him anymore as he’s still human, but they don’t like that. It’s not a happy fic, but interesting none the less and completed as well.

Following that is Agent Potter by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter and James Bond crossover. Sirius becomes a MI6 agent instead of going to Azkaban. Harry is picked up by him after his first year. This leads to him wanting to become an MI6 agent while going to Hogwarts. This changes things. It’s a fun fic, but unfortunately incomplete and hasn’t updated since 2014.

Then is, Ai Youkai by brown phantom. This is a Naruto fic where Naruto manages to defeat Sasuke at the Valley of the End. And as is the trope, he’s going to be banished. However, more people come along and there’s a surprise. His mother, Kushina wasn’t human and was kidnapped by her people when she was thought to have died. This is the story of those who left and those who stayed behind. [* Warning, rated M for a reason*] Incomplete with 48 chapters, but still updating irregularly.

After that is Alea Lacta Est by ack1308. It’s a Worm fic where Taylor and Diana get different power sets (somewhat swapped, but changed). Taylor also triggers early and uses her powers to get a warning about the locker. Taylor and Diana meet and decide to make their own team, and change the face of Brockton Bay’s cape scene. An interesting fic, still updating, but irregularly.

Next is All Was Not Well by White Angel of Auralon. This is a Harry Potter goes back in time to fix things with a twist. Harry sees that the pureblood faction is gaining power soon after the final battle and decides to go back in time to save his parents and fix the wizarding world. He poses as the lost son of the his grandfather’s younger brother. It’s only six chapters, but worth a read.

Alpha Queen by sakurademonalchemist follows. It’s a Harry Potter and Elfen Lied crossover. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s an interesting fic, but once again incomplete with 8 chapters.

Following that is what I call the Alpha verse series by Miz636, which is what I have the stories under in my list. First is Becoming Alpha by Miz636. It’s a Slytherin Harry fic, I’ve talked about here. Second is Return of an Alpha by Miz636. It follows the 4^th & 5^th years of Slytherin Harry. The events might seem similar, but there are major changes. Third is Clash of an Alpha by Miz636. This one has the 6^th & 7^th years of Slytherin Harry and the gang. Just because things change, doesn’t mean things don’t stay the same. Finally, there’s Life of a Conquering Alpha by Miz636. This tells the story of Slytherin Harry and his friends after school. These are one of my favorite fics and are definitely worth a read!

Next to last is Alternate Beginnings by ack1308. This is a Worm fic based on The Breakfast Club. After the scene in the bathroom with the soda, Taylor beats up Madison and both of them are sent to Saturday detention. Joining them are Aisha, an E88 member and an ABB member. Que Breakfast Club antics. It’s fun and even completed!

Last is Amor Enim Vult by BleedingBlade. This is a Youjo Senki fic where Tanya decided to get the war to end peacefully and does! She also is trying her best to make sure conflicts are stopped all around the world. However, Being X still has a few more cards left to play. Its chapters start off with one chapter in the ‘present’ and the next set in the ‘past’ until the first part is completed. It’s a Tanya/Visha fic. It also sadly hasn’t been updated recently, though the author has worked on several other fics. It still has 112 chapters and an Annexe explaining things as the last chapter.

I’m reading some more of the manga for anime airing this season, but haven’t gotten far in them so I’ll talk about them at a later time. I’ll finish up the manga club talk though. The first last two series we were assigned was Solo Leveling. It’s set in an future in Korea where portals opened to dungeons and people began to get powers and become Hunters. The MC, Sung Jin-Woo, is the weakest hunter at Class E (you can’t train to get stronger) and can’t even defeat a low level monster without some work. He has to keep at it because his father disappeared and his mom has ‘sleeping sickness’. One day he goes to a dungeon with a party and it becomes a double dungeon. Many of them die and he’s left to die by himself, then a blue box offers him the chance to become a ‘Player’. He survives and learns he can level up, but he has to follow the rules of the blue boxes to survive. It’s interesting and has 2 anime seasons and completed light novels and manwa (but they’re not all available in the US yet).

The last manga that was chosen for the manga club was Gatchiakuta. It’s a revenge story about Rudo. He lives in the slum of his town and raids the trash of the rich to fix things up for people around him. He’s looked down on because his parents were murders (or so they say) and he lives with his mentor. He even has a girl he likes that he gave a repaired plush to. Then his mentor is killed and he’s accused. He’s sent over the abyss where the trash is dumped. Even the girl who he likes abandons him and discards his plush. He vows revenge as he’s sent into the abyss. He wakes up and learns that the abyss is really the ground of the planet and he has powers to awaken the potential of objects and use them to fight. He works on getting back up there and getting revenge on those who discarded him. Haven’t read much of this, but it’s on my list as the anime has started coming out this season.

Finally, at the association a friend of mine had gone to Japan recently and they got me a defense shrine charm (not that they knew which one it was) and they traded me the Japanese Furfrou (the Kabuki Trim) on PoGo! Maybe next time we meet up, I’ll be able to get Sensu Style Oricorio! As always, May Your Hear Be Your Guiding Key (I did wear it on Friday and an airport store employee said they liked it!)

I’m back… Again

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’m So Sorry and Finally the End of the Quest

Hey everyone… Yeah, sorry I haven’t posted these last few weeks. I was busy, but I’m not afraid to say that I’m generally slightly depressed and that hasn’t really helped. It’s nothing new, but it hasn’t affected the blog so far, so sorry again. Other than that, things have been happening in PoGo and Wizards Unite. PoGo has the Jirachi special research out and the Legendary Dogs are available for a few more days with a shiny chance along with Unowns spelling ULTRA out in 10km eggs. Next week is a shiny Mewtwo chance and the following week 5^th gen starts to come out.

For Wizards Unite there was an event last weekend where eggs were available through different colored 1km portkeys. The rewards for that event will happen tomorrow with a dragon that’s not usually available in your region available for 3 hours.

Pokemon Masters app is also available now for your phones. It’s a three vs three fight with gym leaders and other Pokémon trainers as your partners and opponents. It’s fun but not as good as PoGo.

I spent a lot of the time rereading Pick Up the Pieces and Rebuild, Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2, Black Sky, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, and am now rereading Ripples, & Another Fine Mess. The new chapters are (for the last three weeks): An Essence of Silver and Steel (1^st Sun & 2^nd Sat), Compass of thy Soul (1^st Mon, 1^st Thurs, 2^nd Mon, 2^nd Wed & 3^rd Thurs – [Last Chapter]), Headstart, Trump Card (Last 2 Chapters), Mauling Snarks (1^st Mon, 1^st Fri, 2^nd Mon, 2^nd Fri, 3^rd Mon & 3^rd Fri), Exodus, Worm – Justice For All (2 Chaps), Luna Lovegood and Dark Lord’s Diary (Last Chapter), Hybird Hive: Eat Shard (1^st Wed, 2^nd Wed & 3^rd Wed), Supernatural Drabbles, New Beginnings (1^st Fri, 2^nd Mon & 3^rd Fri), Trail by Fire (1^st Fri, 2^nd Mon & 3^rd Fri), Relic of the Future (2^nd Sat & 3^rd Sat), The Importance of Intent: After the Credits (Last 2 Chapters 2^nd Sat & 3^rd Sun), The Unseen Hunt (2^nd Sun & 3^rd Sat), Souls of the Heart, By Your Side is Where I Belong, Taylor Varga (Omake & Interlude), Service with a Smile, Campione of the Raging Tides, Seerking Asylum, Mending the Knots, Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, RWBY: Destiny of Remnant, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, I, Panacea, Less Than Zero, Code Geass: Lionheart of the Revolution, Playing Our Roles, Sealed Legacy, Broken Dreams, Go Away I’m Watching Porn, Flames, Ashikabi of Thunder and Lightning, Short Story Drabbles & Taylor Hebert, magical girl at your service. (Yeah, a lot I know)

So, I’ve read a lot, but I did finally finish the quest I set, I really forget how long ago. Here are the last stories from Mryddin de Celestis. EvoNet is a Harry Potter and Stargate: SG1 crossover. Harry has his magic sealed and is exiled to the muggle world for trying to give everyone magic. His parents and siblings do nothing, and most are in favor. He finds a way to give magic to everyone anyway and helps the muggles become the third player in the war. Also he helps SG1 with things.

A Supernatural World full of Paranormal Activity is the newest rewrite of their Harry Potter and King of Bandit crossover. Harry runs away at five because he’s neglected in favor of the ‘Girl-Who-Lived’. He’s trained by the King of Bandit and becomes powerful. He goes to help his sister before her sixth year and ends up with a harem (or will).

hacker Magician: Smoke is a Harry Potter fic where Harry is technologically savvy and learns how to hack magic. He becomes Smoke in his fourth year and starts gathering a team to change the magical world. All under Albus’ nose.

Triad: Elements of Balance is a multi-crossover with Naruto, DC Universe, Twilight and Harry Potter being the main ones. Many girl-girl relationships in this one. Bella becomes a mutant able to control the powers of the different Lanterns, Fem. Harry vows revenge when they try to marry her off to Ron and Fem Naruto abandons Konoha and then leaves the planet. Yeah, it’s weird, but fun.

Stop the Monster is a Harry Potter story where Daphne Greengrass decides to help Fem Harry in fourth year. She wants to stop Dumbles from controlling her. Also, she likes her. And Luna and Ginny also get together with Slytherins.

I Know Your Secret is a Harry Potter fic where Fleur knows Harry is a girl in disguise and decides to seduce her. They create a school newspaper and use it to expose all of Dumbles and the other’s secrets. It has a short (not complete) sequel called I know Your Secret 2: Foretold where Skulduggery Pleseant is introduced. That is also the end of the quest, Haza!

Brother, My Brother is a Harry Potter & Final Fantasy VII crossover by sakurademonalchemist. This is another one where it was in the compliation fic. Genesis is Harry’s older brother who was accidentally sent to the world of FF VII. Harry goes to find him and makes life better, and more interesting. Now has three chapters.

Blood in the Water is Naruto fic by Umei no Mei. Shisui is saved by an OC who is a Kiri ninja he knocked up. This changes things. It’s a crack-fic (meaning is going to be silly) and the author claims Shisui is Hoshigaki Shizuma’s father.

Mirror, Mirror is a Harry Potter one-shot by kb0. It has Sirius asks a few questions and gets Harry to answer his mirror early. This changes many things.

Rituals is a Harry Potter fic by Epeefencer. Ginny is super smart at a young age and starts doing rituals to help and protect Harry. Only the first chapter is out.

Yeah, that’s it for the week(s). Sorry again, I’ll do my best so that it doesn’t happen again. See you next week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

One Year Anniversary of the Blog!

Hello readers! As you could tell from the title of this post, today is the one year anniversary of my blog! Thanks for everyone’s support over this year! So much has happened, both with the blog and my life since then. I’ll make it nice and long post for everyone today!

The HP: Wizard’s Unite app is having an event for the next few days in preparation for the start of Hogwarts (Sept 1st if you didn’t know). You’ll be able to find a student from each of the houses to save out in the wild and following the event tasks and getting 5 Portkeys you’ll be able to get everything (it’s not hard, I just have the Portkeys left myself). Also tomorrow is the Shiny Suicune event on PoGo. For three hours all gyms will have Suicune and there’ll be a Shiny chance!

This week was mostly rereading stories that I’ll talk about later, but I did reread a little of Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion V2. The new chapters this week are: Relic of the Future, The Unseen Hunt, Compass of thy Soul (Mon & Thurs), Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Celestial Worm, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor, Trail by Fire, Short Story Drabbles, New Beginnings & Famiglia Drabbles.

First, I’ll talk about a web novel, that’s now a light novel I’ve been reading called ‘I Said Make My Abilities Average!’ It’s about a genius recent high school graduate who died saving a young girl from being killed by ‘Trunk-kun’ (lol, it seems many isekai (transported other world) stories happen because of a trunk and now it’s a meme). God allows her to be reincarnated with her memories because the girl she saved will help humanity later in life. She asks for her abilities to be average because she received too much attention and sadness for being a genius. Needless to say, God averaged everything from all races, not just humanity… Thus began Mile’s (her new name from a little while in) amusingly ‘average’ life. It’s fun and will be animated soon!

I started reading Mirrored Dimensions as part of the Myrddin de Celestis Quest. It’s a rewrite of Burst Realities with Stephanie from Skulduggery Pleasant series as his main girl instead of Ginny. It’s okay, but pretty much the same as before.

I also read more (recently, not just this week) from White Angel of Auralon. How Harry Turned Hogwarts Around is a Harry Potter fic where Harry goes back in time to make things better. He gets a mastery in Potions and becomes the potion professor instead of Snape. Things are changed, but it’s kinda bland.

Liliko is a one-shot Harry Potter and Naruto crossover. Kushina is taken from her deathbed and dragged into past and deaged. She’s forced in to the role of Lily Evans and eventually forced to marry James. This is her story about trying to escape and return home.

Overheard Conversations is Harry Potter fic. It’s a two-chapter year one fic where Harry overhears McGonagall and Flitwick talking about how he’s not trying hard enough and living up to his parents. He takes this to heart and decides to change.

The Witches Conspiracy is another Harry Potter fic. In it four women (Longbottom, McGonagall, Sprout and Figg) decide to help Harry before he goes to Hogwarts. They invite him to an specialty school after his first report card. He goes to school with Nevile and eventually others. It goes through first year and is really interesting.

I also read some interesting Worm fics – Exodus is a Worm and Big Hero 6 crossover by Zaru. Taylor at the end of Worm is cast into the realm where Hiro and Baymax are saving Calhan’s daughter. They bring her back and she eventually recovers. She joins them and things get interesting. Yep, people start to trigger…

Taylor Hebert, magical girl at your service is a Worm fic with magical girl elements by Aurora Moon. The ‘light’ Gods decide to help Earth win and infiltrate the Queen Administrator shard and make Taylor a magical girl while at camp. It’s not far in and Taylor doesn’t really trust her animal guide, but it looks fun!

Jurassic Tinker is a Worm and Jurassic Park crossover by Geno515. A DNA tinker Taylor ends up on another Earth be for Zion shows up. She decides to help Hammond create his Jurassic Park. When people start to trigger, she helps those she can.

Taking Control is a Harry Potter fic by fake a smile. It’s a complete fic where Sirius helps Harry in his dreams to take control of his life after fifth year. It’s a Harry/Ginny fic and Ron and Hermione aren’t their greatest selves in this fic. Has slightly OP Harry, but not overly so.

Free Life is the sequel to Taking Control. He’s taken control and now he’s free from Dumbledore, but Voldie is still around. It was interesting but hasn’t been updated since 2011. Sad since I read it long ago and was hoping for more.

I hadn’t mentioned it before, but I’m a singer. I haven’t done much with it, but I went to a meeting of a barber shop quartet chorus this week. It looks to be interesting. Would y’all be interested in hearing me sing? Leave a comment with a yay or nay. If people are interested, I’ll see what I can do.

That’s all for this week. Thanks again for a great year! See you next week and as always May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

A Sad End to a Week

Hello everyone! This week was cooler, and I didn’t work as much, but it was also sad. A co-worker I didn’t know that well passed out and was taken to a hospital yesterday. We were informed this morning that she didn’t make it. I don’t know the circumstances as my bosses didn’t know, but there were some emotional outbursts trying to get the company to change some things. I can understand, but I didn’t feel comfortable with them using what happened to her to try and change things. I know that people will be looking into how what happened, happened, but things done emotionally in this sort of situation, don’t usually end up going the way you want.

Moving on from that, I finished Harry Potter and the Mutant Academy and reread more of Desperately Seeking Ranma and started rereading Seerking’s Asylum. The new chapters this week were: Relic of the Future, An Essence of Silver and Steel, Mending the Knots, The Unseen Hunt, Seerking’s Asylum, Compass of thy Soul, Mauling Snarks (Mon & Fri), Service with a Smile, Short Story Drabbles (Tues & Fri), Trial by Fire (Tues & Fri), Cage, Price of Blood, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, The Healing Touch, Heroes Assemble!, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard?, Titanfall, Taylor Varga, Ginny’s Plan, Under the Sea, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye, It Gets Worse & Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life.

There was a Community Day for both Wizard’s Unite and Pokémon GO over the weekend. The WU one was more of a having more of everything than more of one (although 9 ¾’s foundables were more common in my opinon) and the PoGo one was one mudkip (I got 4). PoGo also introduced Team GO Rocket and Shadow Pokemon this week. You can Purify them and make them stronger.

Spoiler Warning

So, I saw the new Lion King over the weekend and it wasn’t bad, but it was essentially an almost exact copy of the original, just in ‘live action’. They changed some of the dialogue and some scenes slightly, but no much. They made the ‘Be Prepared’ song more of a speech and had Nala leave for the Pride Lands before Simba had his revelation.

That wasn’t to say that I didn’t like it, but I didn’t feel that I really needed to spend the money to see it in theaters. My biggest problem with it is that in the later scenes, I couldn’t always tell Nala and Sarabi apart.

End Spoiler Warning

So I decided to continue the Myrddin de Celestis quest this week. Soul Armoury (and yes, that is how they spelled it) is a one-shot that I’m surprised wasn’t put in into Mystical Codex. It’s a Harry Potter fic that has the Dursley’s dropping Harry at his grandparents soon after getting him and they go to Japan to get away Dumbles. Not much here other than the info section has him at least getting together with the Greengrass sisters.

enLivened Player is a rewrite of at least the previously mentioned ‘Player.’ Sirius fakes his death and leaves a letter telling him (in double speak) and Harry decides to take control of his life (and do as many girls as he can). He does become a vampire in this one. There’s also a bit of DC Universe crossover at the end.

Cybertech: War of Evolution is a Marvel and Harry Potter crossover. It has Harry abandoned with the Dursleys because of a prophecy saying he’ll reveal the Magical World. He gets away from them and becomes a bigshot tech person. He finds the Magical World and his twin sister while becoming a superhero and decides to reveal it.

Cybertech: Open Worlds is the sequel and has it and the DC universe merging over a few years. It’s not finished, and I’m not sure it will be (but maybe because they also were not put in Mystical Codex). Harry (or Kyle as he renamed himself) goes to the DC universe to help with the ‘convergence’ and helps his younger self from that universe.

Armoured Skill is supposed to be a rewrite of Cybertech stories, but earlier in the Marvel universe. It’s not really very long and Open Worlds has been updated more recently than this one so… yeah. Same premise, he just ends up with his ‘grandmother’ and goes against the Magical World because they ‘kill’ his girlfriend (he puts her on ice in the hopes he can revive her).

That’s all I’ll talk about today! Hope you have a great week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

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

Hello, my readers, I am back! Happy Late 4th of July! So I went to Nashville for last weekend and that’s why I wasn’t able to post last week. I had an early flight Friday and went to sleep early. Over the past two weeks I got all the collectables in the KHII worlds and was officially hired by my work. My first day is soon! I got Carnivine and Tropius in PoGo and hope to get Pachirisu soon! I reread Angry Harry and the Seven, Harry Potter and the Old Friend, Titanfall, Reality Bites Worm, Archer and Ginny’s Plan. The new chapters these two weeks are: Relic of the Future (1^st and 2nd Sat), An Essence of Sliver and Steel (1^st& 2^nd Sat), Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo, Celestial Worm (1^st Sat, 1^st Thurs), The Unseen Hunt (1^st and 2nd Sat), Devil Ninja, Mending the Knots, Worm: More Than Meets The Eye (2 chaps), Honestly Harry – The Year of the Spares, Mauling Snarks (1^st & 2^nd Mon, 1^st & 2^nd Fri), Are You Afraid of the Dark?, History’s Strongest Disciple Again?, Service with a Smile (1^st & 2^nd Tues), Archer, Ripples, Demon Skylark, Short Story Drabbles, Heroes Assemble!, Famiglia Drabbles, Hybrid Hive: Eat Shard? (1^st & 2^nd Wed), Souls of the Heart, RWBY: Destiny of Remnant, Ginny’s Plan (1st & 2nd Fri), How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk, Headstart, Gun Bunny, Tsunami, Seerking’s Asylum, Playing Our Roles, Black Sky (2^nd Mon – 2^nd Fri), Broken Dreams, Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches – Revenge is Best Served Cold, Unexpected Restart, FateKaleid Prisma Taylor, Titanfall (1st Thurs & 2nd Wed), Knight of Betrayal and Taiga Cub & Harry Potter and the Visored (a lot I know).

*Spoiler Warning*

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

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

*End Spoiler Warning*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 6^th 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!
