No One for a Week!

Wow, nobody’s even visited the site since last Thursday. I’m sad to realize this, but maybe I need to advertise more. If someone has suggestions or thinks I’m doing something wrong, please tell me. Or if you want to be read something and give my thoughts on it, let me know and I’ll get around to it.

Tuesday

So to finish yesterday’s new fanfictions (they’re all still Quatermass’ stories), the first is ‘Separated at Birth’. It’s a Harry Potter and Fate/Stay Night crossover happening after the events of the HP books. It’s revealed that Harry is not really a Potter (causing Ginny and most people to leave him), but was really stolen from another universe to become the Boy Who Lived. Taking few people with him (Hermione, Luna and George) he gets Zelretch’s help to go to meet his now younger twin sister, Rin Tohsaka a year or so before the Grail War. Watch as his presence changes many things. It has 22 chapters and is ongoing. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12817778/1/Separated-at-Birth.

The last one from yesterday was, ‘Plenipotent Player Prince.’ It’s a crossover between Code Geass and Overlord. Overlord is a light novel/anime about a guy who stays logged in on a VR game on its last day until the servers shut down. When it happens, he and the NPCs in his guild’s base are transported to a new world (including a succubus he changed to description to love him). Now a real life lich, he and the now alive NPCs take this world by storm after he takes the guild’s name as his own, Ainz Ooal Gown. In the fic, instead of being transported to a new world, most the characters a reborn as Code Geass characters, with Ainz Ooal Gown being Lelouch. See how this changes things. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13001843/1/Plenipotent-Player-Prince.

Moving on to today, I have more Qautermass fics (Yay). No really, they’re good. The first for today was, ‘Gorgon and Thanatos’. It’s another Harry Potter and Fate/Zero Crossover (the author has a few). It has things going wrong again after the books and Harry going to be a guardian of a hidden library in Fuyuki a few years before the Fourth Grail War. He isn’t a participant, but ends up accidentally have a Heroic Spirit of his own as a familiar. The war is much different because of it. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12299723/1/Gorgon-and-Thanatos.

Next is ‘Parva Sub Ingenti’. It means, ‘The small under the huge’ and it’s a crossover between Harry Potter (surpise!) and “Gate: Thus the JDF Fought There”. Gate is a story about a Gate to a medieval magical world appearing in Japan and an army coming through to attack. The attack is eventually repelled and the JDF (Japanese Defense Force) is sent through to find out about this new world and get reparations. One soldier is Itami (an otaku who happened to be there when the attack happened and helped save people). He leads a group to map this new world and help as many pretty girls as possible and have them follow him around. Also, there’s a huge dragon!

The fic has Harry, Hermione and Luna going through the veil (which leads to the world on the other side of the Gate) several years before the Gate would open. Harry ends up saving someone who would become a villain in the original story and living his life there. See how this massively changes the story. Also Sirius is still alive. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13041939/1/Parva-Sub-Ingenti.

Following is ‘Light the Blue Touch Paper and Run Like Hell’. It’s a crossover between Thor and Fate/Zero that has Loki becoming the master of Caster (Medea) in the Fourth Grail War after being saved by Zelretch (this is after the events of the movie Thor, before he meets Thanos). He uses this as a way to work through his frustrations about his family and learn more about himself. It’s finished and the author plans to make a sequel at a later time. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12190704/1/Light-the-Blue-Touch-Paper-and-Run-Like-Hell.

‘Cambion’ is a Harry Potter and High School DxD crossover. It has Harry as a half devil with Riser Phenex being his father. James kicks him out of the Potter family for having a different father. Harry finds out he is a devil in his fifth year from Hermione and is asked to be Rias’ betrothed instead of his father. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12928183/1/Cambion.

The last fic (for today) from Quartermass is ‘Neopolitan and the Goblet of Fire’. It is a crossover between Harry Potter and RWBY in which a female Harry is Neopolitan. During the events at the end of the 3^rd season, the Goblet of Fire summons Neo back to the Harry Potter world. She then decides to take revenge on her father and Sirius (who threw her through the Veil at a young age). It’s interesting. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12723696/1/Neopolitan-and-the-Goblet-of-Fire.

I read a few more chapters of Remnant’s Reclaimer and started rereading a RWBY fanfiction called ‘The Remnant Knight’ by Masseffect-TxS. It has Jaune sending Pyrrha away at the end of the 3^rd season and facing Cinder himself. This reveals an ability not even he knew about in his bloodline that helps him, at a cost. Watch as he overcomes it and sets the world on a new path. Is a harem fic. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11885368/1/The-Remnant-Knight.

Homestuck was mentioned in a fic and I went looking for it. I only got to the 27^th page, but it looks … weird. It’s an MS paint adventure about, trolls, I think. I’ll get back to it later. The link to it is here – https://www.homestuck.com/.

Lastly I read a new chapter from Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies That Won’t Stop Bugging Me. For those who don’t remember, it’s a one shot/short story repository for him.

See you tomorrow.

Wednesday

I read a lot again today, so get ready! I read some more chapters of Becoming a Man Among Men. However I read more of Quartermass’ fic today… sorry going to be for a little bit more. The first one is called, ‘Wings of the Forsaken’ and is a Harry Potter and “Sekirei” crossover. Sekirei is a manga/anime about a young Japanese man who gets caught up in a contest between aliens called Sekirei who are forced to fight because of a mad man’s whims. Most of the Sekirei are beautiful girls who bond with their ‘destined one’ and fight until only one remains. Minato ‘wings’ several Sekirei and is also forced to compete. It’s interesting, but you can tell it’s a story for young men (what with all the panty shots).

Wings of the Forsaken has Harry cast out of the Potter’s for being Lupin’s son (who helped Lily overcome the love potion James has her under) after the Halloween attack. He is eventually left in Japan and is taken in by Miya. After taking over the company in charge of the Sekirei, Harry is forced back to England for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. He, his parents and Sekirei will take Britain by storm. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12494380/1/Wings-of-the-Forsaken.

The next one is called ‘Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, An Ashikabi’s Life for Me’. It’s a Pirates of the Caribbean movie series and Sekirei crossover that has Jack Sparrow reborn as Minato. Watch as he makes the contest very interesting (and writes his former life as books). The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12510813/1/Yo-Ho-Yo-Ho-An-Ashikabi-s-Life-for-Me.

The last one from Quartermass (again today) is called ‘Warlock’. It is a Code Geass and Harry Potter crossover. It has Harry going through the veil in fifth year and ending up in the Code Geass universe. He becomes Kallen’s boyfriend and helps out their group before Zero shows up. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12995318/1/Warlock.

Another new story I read was called ‘The Black Emperor’ by Primordial Vortex. It’s a pure Code Geass fic were Lelouch is more prepared and has Milly on his side already. It is a harem fic. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12290311/1/The-Black-Emperor.

I also completely reread a fic called ‘The Ash Connection’ by I am Lu. It has Ash and all his former and current traveling companions (It’s set in Black and White), rivals and friends on the run from a Team Rocket controlled Mewtwo. It involves the G-Men and it’s politics. Also has many pairings including Ash/Misty and sequel. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9103189/1/The-Ash-Connection.

See you tomorrow!

Thursday

Not that much overall read today, but again there are a few Quartermass fics. The first is ‘Disquiet’ and it is a Harry Potter and “Black Lagoon” crossover. Black Lagoon is about a shipping company who does illegal things for money who capture a Japanese salary man for a disk he is transporting. Rock, as he is later called, is abandoned to die by his company and falls in with the Lagoon company. Watch as he, Revy (a two-handed female sharpshooter), and the rest of the crew handle their jobs and the mess that follows. I also started rewatching the anime a few days ago to remind myself of the series, I would definitely recommend it.

In Disquiet, Harry (now Hal) is the partner of a character from later in the series, Frederica Sawyer. She (in the story) is Bellatrix’s daughter. They were thought dead by the Wizarding World (WW) after James and Sirius try to make Horcruxes from them (and says they were killed practicing dark magic). When Harry’s brother dies in his fifth year, the WW comes looking for them. Only to find them very much willing to kill anyone who comes after them with the intent to kill. It happens during the Killer Maid arc and doesn’t have much to do with the main characters of Black Lagoon. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12459701/1/Disquiet.

The other one from Quartermass today is a one-shot called ‘Coconuts?’. It’s a Fate/Stay Night – Unlimited Blade Works afterstory that has Zelretch sending Monty Python and the Holy Grail for Arturia to watch… yeah. I would not recommend for the actual King Arthur to ever watch it, as hilarious as it is. On a side note, when a friend from summer camp (when I was in high school) heard I hadn’t seen it, he recited it to me verbatim over the next few days (impressive right). I have since seen it. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12112155/1/Coconuts.

Other than a few more chapters of Becoming a Man Among Men, I read a new chapter of Parva Sub Ingeti and a new fic, ‘Reaching for a Dream’ by Noodlehammer. It is the first of a series of Naruto fics and the only one not a crossover. It has an older Naruto than the other characters normally his age and different female Kyuubi. Warning! This is an M fic for a reason. It has many Lemons in it (if you don’t know what that means, it is slang for R rated interactions between men and women). Don’t like, don’t read. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9920512/1/Reaching-for-a-Dream.

Finally, I finished adding the new characters to my own fanfiction and am looking forward to writing more to eventually post it. Remember, I want to have at least 10 chapters from the original fanfiction in it before I post it. That’s it for this post, long as it is (over 1900 words!). I’ll see you on Monday and hope more people at least come to the site!

Sorry for the Day Wait

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

Tuesday

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

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

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

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

Wendesday

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thursday

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

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

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

That’s it for yesterday, no to today.

Friday

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

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

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

Fourth Day

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

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

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

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

R rated content

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

R rated content

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

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

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

Third Day

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

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

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

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

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

The Second Day

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hello & Welcome

Hello, I’m Matt. I decided to start this blog in order to write more and share what I’m reading and watching and my thoughts on them. I’ve been reading a lot of fanfiction lately, but am looking to read or reread books more often. I’ll also be posting about the movies, TV shows & anime that I’m watching as well.

I’ve been a reader since I was young. I’ll read most genres except Gore, but I’m not a huge horror fan. I’ve been interested in Japanese animation since I was very young, when my brother gave me Kiki’s Delivery Service and My Neighbor Totoro and I watched shows such as Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Dragon Ball Z. Even though I read a lot when I was younger, it wasn’t until I was in middle school that I found manga. I was in a Barnes & Noble looking through book titles when I found a book titled, “Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow Vol. 1.” I was interested because I’d seen the show on TV and so I bought it. When I got home and started to read it I learned that it read backwards and had to learn a new way to read. It took me a few weeks to get used to it and now I can switch between the two reading styles with no effort.

Switching topics, I was an avid fan of Pokemon from the beginning. I played Red and Blue, played the card game and went to card events where you could earn badges and special cards. I followed the handheld games until they switched over to the DS, which I didn’t get until much later, and I stopped really following it. Later in late 2013, when I didn’t have much to do I picked up X and Y. I then spent a lot of my time collecting all the Pokemon out and have continued this into Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon along with Pokemon Go. I’ll probably talk about what’s happening on PoGo on here as well with the release of Celebi and hopefully Smeargle next week along with the Regirock’s introduction to raid that happened today.

I’ve been rereading the fanfiction ‘Black Sky’ by the author Umei no Mei on Fanfiction.net for the last few days. Here is a link to the story – http://www.fanfiction.net/s/10727911/1/. It is an interesting crossover story between Harry Potter and Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn (KHR). It features a female Harry and currently has 295 chapters, but the author is on a break from the story right now. Umei no Mei also has several other stories, so be sure to check them out if Black Sky interests you.

Black Sky is an interesting story because it starts from young female Harry’s, named Dorea, birth and has several chapters showing her growing up before she goes to Hogwarts (thankfully not at the Dursleys). It also starts long before the start of KHR and doesn’t even mention the main character of KHR in the story until well into the 100’s. I enjoy this story because it doesn’t let itself get caught up on following the events of the ‘Harry Potter’ series and actually wraps the main content of that series within 75 chapters.

I will freely admit that I ‘ship’ Harry and Ginny and that I enjoy reading those stories that have that as a pairing. People can say how he belongs with someone else, such as Hermione or Luna, but I have my reasons that I can go into later if anyone is interested. However, I am willing to read a story that does not have that as pairing as long as it keeps my interest, is well written with minimal spelling errors and being a long story helps. Black Sky fits all those categories and more.

I’ll stop here for now, but will post again either today or tomorrow. Thanks for Reading!

-Matt
