A Walking Weekend

Friday

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

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

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

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

Saturday

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

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

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

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

Sunday

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

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

See you tomorrow! See below!

Monday

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Weekend for a Few Readers

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

Friday

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

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

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

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

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

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

Saturday

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

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

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

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

Sunday

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

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

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

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

So you tomorrow, when I post this!

Monday

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On the Correct Day!

Saturday

This should be on the correct day (Monday). Today I mostly read fanfictions I’ve already mentioned on here: Ichigo Awakens, Child of the Storm, and select chapters of Soul Chess. That doesn’t mean, I didn’t read or watch anything else. I read a new chapter for the fanfiction ‘An Essence of Silver and Steel” by James D. Fawkes. It’s a crossover fic between Worm and a story from TypeMoon “Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya” (lets shorten it to Prisma). Prisma is an in alternate universe to the Fate/Stay Night universe and has one the characters from that one (Illya, a homunculous) getting an alive magic stick named ‘Ruby’. She and others, including someone who has another magic stick named ‘Sapphire’, have to fine ‘Class Cards’ in order to save the tower. Things devolve from there. Oh, did I mention that the magic sticks have a warped personality from their creator, a Dead Apostle (TypeMoon’s vampires) named Zelretch who is the ultimate troll. Still it’s fun (think of it as a nicer Puella Magi Madoka Magica, if you understand the reference).

Basically in An Essence of Silver and Steel, Zelretch (who can travel and pull energy from parallel worlds) finds that the ‘Worm’ world does not really have magic anymore and sends another magic stick to find out why. It finds it’s way to becoming Taylor’s power. Things go right and wrong.   It’s one of the fics that shows that, yeah, Worm is a dark hero story, so things have to go wrong. I would recommend it. The link to the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12515214/1/An-Essence-of-Silver-and-Steel.

The other main thing I did was watch a few episodes of the Amazon Prime series, “Jack Ryan.” I haven’t read the books or watched any of the movie’s, but this is a really good series. Jack Ryan is a former Marine who is now a CIA analyst who sees a threat before anyone else and convinces his new boss to go after this guy. Things go wrong and now they’re trying to find him and stop him, while Jack is learning the experience of going out into the field. I recognized the actor for Jack Ryan from The Office (Though I haven’t seen much of it, mostly funny compilations on YouTube) and found I like Jack Ryan more than I thought I would.

That’s all for today, Ta Ta for Now!

Sunday

Today was a mostly focused on Ichigo Awakens, but I did read a few other things. The first one is a fic I started rereading, ‘A Protector’s Pride’ by NeoRyu777. It’s a Bleach fic that has Ichigo dealing with his inner Hollow before he meets the Vizards. Instead of one time beat down, they decide to do it every two weeks and whoever wins is in charge until the next time. Has a more forward thinking Ichigo. The link to the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5002293/1/A-Protector-s-Pride.

Then there was a fanfiction I read for the first time, ‘Unto the Breach’ by Backslash Echo. It’s a Naruto fic that’s 11 chapters and been around since 2015, but it was updated in August of this year, so maybe still good. It has Naruto being sent accidentally back in time in the fight against Tobi while holding the Tailed Beasts. All the jinchuuriki’s have their memories back, and maybe some others too. See how things change. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10973514/1/Unto-The-Breach.

I also dabbled in a fic (meaning I started reading, but will come back later and see if I want to read) that is a crossover between Fate/Stay Night and Sword Art Online called ‘Fate Revelation Online’ by daniel-gudman. Sword Art Online is a anime/light novel about a gamer ‘Kirito’ who along with thousands of others is trapped in a VR (Virtual Reality) MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that the title is named after until they can clear it. The main catch, if you die in the game, you die in reality. The helmet that allows to connect to the game will fry the player if taken off or if it losses power. Watch as Kirito, Asuna and their friends try to beat the game, for the first half of the first season. After that Asuna gets kind of sidelined and while it comes back to her, she’s only really important in that she’s with Kirito. I like the series, but know that some people don’t. Watch/read it if you want.

Fate Revelation Online has Shiro and Illya joining the game (which is different because the creator is also a magus). It didn’t catch my fancy at this time, but will come back and see later. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9740933/1/Fate-Revelation-Online.

I got a new chapter for a still short story called ‘Roofie” by Lunar-L. It’s a Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir fic that has an adult Marinette being roofied at a fashion party and being saved by Adrian. Her drugged state has her revealing that she likes him. It’s only on the fourth chapter and is finally the morning after (nothing happens, he just takes her home) and they’re both thinking about last night and what will happen from now on. This author also has a few other stories from the same series, mostly MariChat ones. The link to the author is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1727757/Lunar-L. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12610423/1/Roofie.

That was today, see you on the flip side.

Monday

I will post today, and man was today a large one for new fics. I caught up to where I hadn’t read of Ichigo Awakens and took a break from it for today. I read a new chapter of Mauling Snarks as it is Monday. Before I go into the fics I haven’t read before, I started rereading a RWBY fic called ‘Remnant’s Reclaimer’ by Hysterical Clerical Hijinks. It has an a little over 7 year’s older RWBY running so fast with her Semblance (along with an explosion) to accidentally travel back in time to her first year of Beacon (in a massively AU storyline that has Cinder as the main big bad). She then decides to stop Cinder’s plans (She didn’t merge with her younger self). It has lesbian couples in it, so if you don’t like, don’t read. The main sad thing is that it hasn’t been updated since 2016.  The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10813469/1/Remnant-s-Reclaimer.

The same author – Quatermass, wrote all the rest of the fanfictions I read today. The first one I read was called ‘Is Your Great-Aunt and AI!?’ and is a Harry Potter and Portal crossover. Portal is a set of two games about an insane AI, GLaDOS, who takes over a research facility after her human mind is uploaded and she goes insane. You play the mute character Chell, who must use a Portal Gun to solve challenges and escape. In this fic, Harry is sent to live with his great-aunt before she becomes GLaDOS and helps her stay (relatively) sane. She discovers his magic (which she calls ‘Will-based Tranmogrification Force’ or WFT) and he eventually goes to Hogwarts. However he has a more scientifically minded outlook, so things are interesting. Especially when the Morgan Freeman (from Half-Life) characterization from Freeman’s Mind (a YouTube video set on the channel Accursed Farms – the link to the channel is – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6KZTTnkE-s2XFJJmoTAkw). I watched a few episodes and will watch more later, but my favorite line so far (which is also in the fic) is “I am Captain Gordon Freeman of the Intergalactic House of Pancakes ordering you to open”. The link to the author is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6716408/Quatermass.  The link to the fic is -https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11567521/1/Is-Your-Great-Aunt-an-AI. It also has an incomplete (for now) second year sequel called, ‘Just How Can a Computer Do Magic?!’ that can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12402919/1/Just-How-Can-a-Computer-Do-Magic.

The next one is called ‘Ex Umbra in Solem’ (which is Latin for ‘From the Shadows into the Light’) and is a Harry Potter and Fate/Zero crossover. Fate/Zero is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night and tells the story of the Fourth Grail War (Fate/Stay Night is the Fifth Grail War). The fic has Harry being thrown through the veil of death after things go wrong in the final battle and everyone he cares for dies. Umbridge (Umbitch) takes over the ministry and after trying to kill him in other ways (he’s the Master of Death) they kill him with the veil. He doesn’t die and ends up in a summoning circle along with Saber (Athuria Pendragon). He’s not a servant. Watch how his actions change the war. It is incomplete, but still being worked on. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12149998/1/Ex-Umbra-in-Solem.

(A quick interlude, I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I also read the fic by Quatermass called ‘HoneyMoon’. It’s their only Harry/Ginny story and has them honeymooning on the Moon in this cool one-shot. The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11790040/1/HoneyMoon)

The one after that is ‘Pulvis et Umbra Sumus’ (which is Latin for ‘We are Dust and Shadow’) and is a Harry Potter and RWBY crossover. It has Harry being the son of Qrow and Gretchen Rainart (who was transported to the HP universe and died in childbirth after being tortured). Qrow and Raven go and get him at the end of third year. Read it if you want to learn more. The link to the fic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12856999/1/Pulvis-et-Umbra-Sumus.

I’ll leave the other’s I read to tomorrow as this is already over 1500 words. I’ll post again on Thursday!

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!

A Diverse Weekend

Friday –

Today was an interesting day as I went through many fanfiction to find one that would keep my attention.  I’ve had this problem before, either I have to find something else to do or I find a fanfiction that can keep my attention.  This one lead me through several including several whose original stories I haven’t mentioned here yet.  I finished reading Heroes Assemble! and then moved onto ‘Skittering Campione’ by Greatazuredragon.  It’s a crossover between Worm (Skitter is Taylor’s first cape name) and a series called Campione!.   It was a light novel then became an anime that only has one season so far.  The main character (Godo Kusanagi) is a normal high school student until on trip he finds himself in a fight between two gods who have become ‘Heretic’ (meaning they rebel against being wherever they normally are and cause destruction to the world).  Through a set of unlikely circumstances (Or the most obvious circumstances if you look at how often that happens in stories), Godo defeats one of the Gods with the help of a ‘witch’ and becomes a Campione or God Slayer.  This means he gets power from the God(s) he defeats.  Look it up, it’s good.

Anywho, in the fanfiction at the end of Worm, Taylor is transported to Campione! universe and is transformed in a campione because of her defeat of the big bad of her universe.  Watch as her actions change the Campione! universe for the good, funny and weird.  It’s only 14 chapters so far and the link the fanfiction is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12051295/1/Skittering-Campione.

I went through a few one shots after that and only one was interesting, but it was an omake of a conversation in another fanfiction that would only take longer to go through, so I’ll talk about the omake when I read that fanfiction.  The next one I actually read was ‘A Growing Affection’ by Xavon Wrentaile.  It is a Naruto fanfiction.  Like Harry Potter is the top of the Book section of FF.net in number of stories, so is Naruto the top of the Anime section.  I’m actually surprised it too me this long to get to a Naruto story.  For those of you who don’t know, Naruto is about a young boy who wants to became a ninja and the leader of his village, the Hokage.  The only thing wrong with that is that most of the village hates him because he has a great monster (The Kyuubi) sealed in his gut through no fault of his own.  Watch or read as this boy goes through hard work, teachers who barely teach him anything, getting hit by teammates, betrayal, hate, anger and many other things to save the world and gain the love and affection of the village that hated him (Yeah like KHR, I have some issues with the way the main character is treated.  I mean his godfather doesn’t even come in until after the first few arcs and it’s never even mentioned that he’s his godfather until later when we find out who his parents were in the sequel story set three years after the original story ends.)  There’s also now a story about the new generation out too, Boruto.

Moving on the fanfiction is set in the sequel story Naruto Shippuuden and follows an alternate storyline and focuses on Naruto getting together with Hinata (my favorite pairing that’s also canon) and dealing with the issues around him.  It’s good and is finished with 170 chapters.  The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3916565/1/A-Growing-Affection.  I also read a new chapter of Mauling Snarks (it comes out every Friday and Monday).

I started another new story with a new original story, but since this one is already fairly long, I’ll talk about it tomorrow.  Which you’ll be able to see right away ^_^

Saturday

So I’ll start off the story I mentioned in yesterday’s part, ‘Soul Chess’ by draconichero21.  This a one of favorites and it is a crossover between Code Geass and Bleach.  Bleach, for those who don’t know, is like Naruto as being one of most popular mangas/animes of the past generation (as the original generation of Naruto is finished anyway).  It’s about Ichigo Kurosaki a high school student who can see ghosts.  He has a run in with a Hollow (Monster spirits who want to eat you) and a Shinigami (‘Good’ spirits who have the power to purify Hollows and send ghosts to the afterlife) named Rukia Kuchiki.  He ends up becoming a Shinigami and gets involved in (Wouldn’t you know it) a plot to save the world (because the afterlife is crap and nobles who don’t care about people run it).  Other than my personal issues with the governing system of the afterlife (Soul Society), this is a good story.  Though it gets convoluted in the last arc.

In the fanfiction, Lelouch from Geass ends up in the Soul Society long before even the flashbacks in Bleach.  Watch as his actions change things, for better or worse.  I wouldn’t recommend this unless you’ve at least watched Code Geass and possibly a bit of Bleach too.  It’s 208 chapters and a teaser for a remake fic with more crossover characters in it to be at sometime in the future.  The link to the fanfiction is –  https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953451/1/Soul-Chess.  I only read a few chapters of it for now along with a few Ashes of the Past chapters.

I also reread the fanfiction ‘Pick up the Pieces and Move On’ by the first author I mentioned, Umei no Mai.  It’s a sequel to the fic ‘Pick up the Pieces and Take Stock’ and they both deal with the after story of KHR through the lens of Xanxus in dealing with a ‘father’ who can’t see how he wronged Xanxus, a to-be leader who doesn’t know anything and doesn’t want the job and all the mental and physical issues he’s got because of his upbringing and the KHR story.  They’re both good stories that are 8 chapters each with a third and final story in the works that Umei no Mai will finish before continuing Black Sky.  The link to Take Stock is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12963516/1/Pick-up-the-Pieces-and-Take-Stock and the link to Move On is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13014658/1/Pick-up-the-Pieces-and-Move-On.

I read more than 20 chapters of Growing Affection and a new chapter for the story, ‘Stark Imprint’ by Arthur Hansen which is a crossover story between Worm and Ironman.  One of Tony Stark’s suits ends up in the Worm universe and when Taylor finds it (a few years before Worm’s start), it downloads a copy of his brain into hers.  She gets his memories and talents while remaining herself and becomes a non-powered cape in the Worm-verse.  It’s good and the link the 7 chapter story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12971451/1/Stark-Imprint.

That’s all I read today, so I’ll see you in a few seconds on Sunday.

Sunday

Today I went to a small birthday dinner for a church friend and learned that her granddchild has written fanfiction and is on FF.net.  I haven’t read either of their stories, but their user name is DesertAnubis.  There is a Dragon Ball Z fic (that’s been abandoned after 35 chapters) and a new Yu-Gi-Oh! fic that has been finished IRL, but is slowly being posted.  The link to their profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2078100/DesertAnubis.

I read some more Soul Chess and Growing Affection, but other than that I just have a story I started rereading and a new chapter for a story I haven’t mentioned yet.  The story is called ‘Broken Dreams’  by ThunderReborn and is a Bleach story where after the Winter War, things are different and Ichigo gains his enemy’s sword and most powerful tool.  He is trained by them and his own sword while everyone thinks he’s powerless and ignores him.  When he graduates high school he walks away and has several crossovers (starting with High School DxD).  It’s not for everyone and remember the phrase “Don’t like, Don’t read”.  It’s one I follow. Anywho, the link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11877799/1/Broken-Dreams.

The new chapter is from the fanfiction ‘ Mending the Knots’ by azndrgn (the author who I’m editing for on another story).  It’s a RWBY story where Jaune doesn’t get into Beacon and starts a massage business.  It’s fun and still has your favorite characters in it.  The main reason I didn’t read much else is that I got the app Fate/Grand Order (from the same universe as Fate/Stay Night [though without the rated R stuff]).  I got caught up in it, KHUx and PoGo (I finally moved on to the fourth set of the Celebi quests).  See you tomorrow when I actually post all this.

Monday

So as usual for today, I read the new chapter of Mauling Snarks.  I also spent time on Fate/Grand Order and KHUx again.  I also reread two stories by SeerKing that are finished or not currently being worked on.  They are ‘RWBY – Poison Promise’ and ‘RWBY – Flame of Atonement’.  In the first one, Ruby is posioned and it deals with finding who did it and curing her.  The second one deals with the aftermath.  Poison Promise done at 10 chapter and Flame of Atonement is on hiatus at 4 chapters.  The link to Poison Promise is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11733770/1/RWBY-Poison-Promise and the link to Flame of Atonement is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12147659/1/RWBY-Flame-of-Atonement

I read sakurademonalchemist’s newest story (Again not finishing any of their older ones) ‘Elemental Sky’ in which a female Tsuna learn that she is cousins with the Sand Siblings from Naruto (Temari, Kankaro, and Gaara) and goes to visit them (at a time before the chunin exams).  The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13036342/1/Elemental-Sky.

I also started rereading the story ‘Becoming a Man Among Men’ by Dragon6.  It is based on the Ranma 1/2 story which is about Ranma, a high school aged martial artist who accidentally falls into a cursed pool that causes him to become an aquatransexual (which means he turns into a girl when hit by cold water and back to a boy when hit by hot water).  He is then forced to agree to marry one of three daughters of his (abusive, thieving, lying, habitually agreeing to marriage contracts for his son for silly things) father’s friend.  Ranma has to deal with multiple fiancees, men who are after said fiancees and people who blame him for what his father did (I swear, I have not seen a story with so many character with daddy issues and some mommy issues).  Becoming a Man Among Men has Ranma reading his father’s journal after becoming an aquatransexual and learns of all of his father’s misdeeds and his planning to marry him to his friend’s daughter.  He then decides to make his own martial arts school and not do anything his father wants.  The link to the story is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6492923/1/Becoming-a-Man-Among-Men.

Thanks for reading this long post, don’t forget to comment or send me a message if you want to know more about what I’ve talked about or if you want to recommend a story/TV show/movie something to me.  See you again on Thursday!

Seventh Day

Wow, with today’s post I will have posted every day for a week.  Wednesday is also one of my favorite days because one of my favorite fanfiction authors posts today.  His user name is Seerking and he has many stories from many stories.  He has a 12 week schedule where he posts to one story in the list in order every week today.  There are stories that are on pause for now, but 12 stories is a lot to concentrate on anyway.

The one he posted to today was ‘Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji.’  The story its based off of is called “Zero no Tsukaima” or “Familiar of Zero” and is the story of a young man from earth (Saito), summoned to another world by a mage who usually can only cause explosions (Louise the Zero).  The young man can’t do much, but his skills are slowly revealed and his helps his master defend her home.  In the fanfiction though, Saito has been trained to be an Onmyoji (talisman user) before he is summoned and uses his skills to help Louise and try to break the familiar bond and return home.

I’ll talk about the rest of his fanfics as the weeks go on or I reread them.  The link to the fanfic is – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10090792/1/Zero-no-Tsukaima-Saito-the-Onmyoji.  The link to Seerking’s profile is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4583733/SeerKing.

Moving on, I finished rereading Recoil and went through my drives to find the reading fanfiction I had started for it and started editing it again.  After I started the second actual reading chapter, I realized I need more characters.  So, I went through and made physical copies of the notes of things to change on a printed copy of the story, but never made the changes.  Therefore, currently I am making those changes and once I get to chapter ten of the reading I’ll start posting it once or twice a week.  This is so I have some backlog in case I can’t write a chapter for some reason, so look forward to it because I will definitely tell y’all when I post it!

I reread a fanfiction called ‘Play Fake, Kwami’ by Raydara12.  This is a “The Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir” fanfiction.  For those who don’t know about the show it is a French animated show about two middle school kids (Marinette and Adrian) getting jewelry and small talking animal that allow them to become Ladybug and Chat Noir (it’s pronounced ‘Cat Noir’ if you didn’t know) to defeat the villain Hawk Moth’s victims while dealing with middle school life and crushes (Marinette has one for Adrian and Chat Noir has one for Ladybug).  Oh and did I forget to mention that they don’t know each other’s secret identities.  It’s definitely marketed more of young girls, but it’s a good show anyway.

In the fanfiction (which is only 7 actual chapters even though it says 10) Marinette’s talking animals Tikki (which are called Kwami) is accidentally revealed and pretends to be a toy.  Adrian reveals his Kwami (Plagg) to help her and they realize who the other is.  After getting together, they decide to prank Hawk Moth … read to find out how!  Here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12383399/1/Play-Fake-Kwami.

I also rewatched the first episode of a silly anime called “Servant x Service.”  It’s about some newcomers to the Japanese Civil Service office and their coworkers.  The main character, who I’ll just call Yamagami for now, joins in order to find the person who allowed her parents to name her.  Her full name (as we know it) is – Lucy Kimiko Akie Airi Shiori Rinne Yoshiho Chihoko Ayano Fumika Chitose Sanae Mikiko Ichika Yukino Reina Eri Ai Tamiko Chikage Emilia Julia Shizue Erina Chisa Yumeka Natsuki Ranran Rieko Setsuri Chikako Azumi Marina Hideko Chiaki Misaki Naomi Campbell Miku Yuka Masako Sachiko Nana Mutsumi Haruka Yuna Shimako Yukie Rin Sakura Kanna Wakana Hazuki Honami Ruri Mihane Momoka Himari Nozomi Futaba Mayuyu…(still continues)…Yamagami.  Yeah, I’m not kidding.  Yutaka Hasebe is a fellow newcomer who likes to tease her and slack off.  The anime is about them living their lives and learning how to be civil servants.  Look it up if it sounds fun to you!

I also read a chapter in Ashes of the past and an omake for Taylor Varga that involved Doctor Who.  I also finally got to the 3rd set of the Celebi quests on PoGo this morning, but now I have to hatch 9 eggs.  It will be a little bit before I get that as I have mostly 5, 7, and 10 km eggs currently.  Nothing else to say today.  Look forward to posting tomorrow in the new week!

 

 

Fifth Day

Hello mina (everyone in Japanese)!  Today was also short on reading time, but not just because I didn’t have time.  Part of it was that I messed around on my computer and watched all the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood openings and another part was that I spent time with other people raiding on PoGo because – The Celebi quests are up!  One of the first set of quests was to battle in a raid and on my local PoGo chat they were talking about a Regirock raid happening nearby.  So I drove over and we won the raid, but I didn’t catch it.  However, there was another one half an hour later I was also in that we won and I caught that one.  Yay, because it was my first one!  On the other hand, in the second set of Celebi quests it wants you to catch at least one Pokemon for three days so I can’t advance until Wednesday.

The most recent reason I was short on reading time was that for over two hours Fanfiction.net was offline.  Shortly after I started writing it came back on and I’ve read that it was because the location that the servers for it are located had a power outage.  I was rereading a fanfic called ‘Recoil’ by an author I mentioned yesterday, ack1308, that’s about Worm.  I’d actually gotten permission a while back to make a reading fanfiction about this story.  I started and got the prestory and the first chapter done, but I stopped and I want to get started again now that I’ve thought of it again.  It’s a everything goes wrong story that ends up with Taylor going back in time 22 years to try to fix it.  Definitely recommend it.  Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10286919/1/Recoil.  I also read a new chapter for the previously mentioned story – Mauling Snarks and a few mins ago got an email telling me that Taylor Varga has also been updated!

A story that I am one of the betas for updated with a new chapter.  The story is called ‘History’s Strongest Disciple Again?’ by azndrgn.  It is based on the manga/anime called “History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi” or “Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple”.  In this, a high school loser joins a martial arts school (mostly because of the hot granddaughter of one of the Masters but also because he gets beat up a lot), learns multiple disciplines and gets caught up in the martial arts world’s battle between light and dark.  It’s a good series.  azndrgn is also a great writer and has many fanfics, mostly having to do with RWBY.  The link to the fanfiction is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12836761/1/History-Strongest-Disciple-Again  and the link to azndrgn’s profile is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6509808/azndrgn.

R rated content

Okay, I had to put that up not only because of the content of the story (both the original and the fanfiction) but because of the title itself – ‘Go Away I’m Watching Porn’ by another author I previously mentioned Third Fang (and the main character actually does say that within the first few chapters).  Now with a title like that you would think that it involves porn, it does just not in the story so far (as in characters having sex), but it is mentioned and referenced a lot.  This is because, even in the original story, the main character Issei is obsessed with breasts and creating his own harem.  No, you did not read me wrong, a harem.  The original story is called “High School DxD” and was originally a light novel and then became a manga and anime.

Go Away I’m Watching Porn starts long before the main storyline of DxD and involves a OC (Original Character) from the other of his main stories, whose name is Ghost.  He gets involved with Issei for various reasons and screws up the universe (which he often does) so much that instead of enjoying High School after the time skip to the time of the main storyline, Issei is instead a shut in who has issues with crowds and being touched.  It’s amusing and serious, so it’s very good.  Here is the link for those brave (or stupid) enough to read it – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12334209/1/Go-Away-I-m-Watching-Porn.

Other than reading a chapter and a quarter of Ashes of the Past, I think I’ve covered everything from today.  Thanks for reading and talk to you tomorrow!

 

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!

The Second Post

Hello again! Thanks to everyone who has already liked, followed or posted, your response is appreciated.  Shout out to Yomu for being the first to comment!  To finish up a story I didn’t realize I hadn’t last time, after finding the “Cardcapter Sakura” manga I read the whole “Master of the Clow” series and didn’t realize that it was a sequel series to the original “Cardcaptor Sakura” series until afterwards.  I can now look back on that and laugh.  By the way, that series is by a group of authors called CLAMP.  They’ve written many great series like Tsubasa RESERVior CHRoNiCLE, xxxHolic and Chobits to name a few.  They also have another “Cardcaptor Sakura” series called “Clear Cards” which has an anime too.  I can go into those series later.

In the time since I wrote my first post I read a few more chapters on Black Sky and am now at chapter 234.  But I have read more than that though.  I follow a great many stories on Fanfiction.net, Archive of Our Own (AO3), etc.  Sadly many I am following are no longer posting or abandoned.  However, one I am following who has just not been able to get the time to write has finally posted a chapter!  The series is called ‘Taylor Varga’ and is a crossover between an online serial “Worm” and an short really old anime very few know called “Luna Varga.”

Worm is not a happy story, let me put it that way.  When the main characters’ backstory includes getting locked in a school locker, that was full of fermenting female products left to rot over a winter break, for several hours and the school basically ignoring it (for a reason unknown to the character), yeah not a happy story.  Worm involves the dark side of superpowers and how badass the power to control bugs really is, which the main character Taylor gets for being locked in the locker.  I’ve probably only read the very first section of it, but I know a lot about it just from reading the fanfiction about it and looking up relevant information when I needed it.  I enjoy reading the fanfictions because while they don’t (often) ignore the issues in the story, they do a better job in my opinion of solving them.

I still actually have not looked up Luna Varga to watch, I really should sometime, but the basics as I know it are that a princess merges with a lizard like demon to protect her  people against another of his kind.  ‘Taylor Varga’ has a power giving Taylor the Varga demon instead of her getting the bug control power in the locker.  Chaos then ensues, humorous chaos and much confusion.  I was directed to this fanfiction by another author, but spent days reading it a having a good laugh, including the omakes (side stories that don’t actually happen in the story or at a future time for those who don’t know) which have Harry Potter and Marvel miniseries.  The story is on it’s 25th tab on the Sufficient Velocity (SV) reader mode (which only has the main story not the omakes or the comments).  The author mp3.1415player has cross-posted it on Fanfiction.net and AO3, but mostly focuses on SV so the other’s aren’t caught up.  The link to the start of it is – https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/taylor-varga-worm-luna-varga.32119/.

I also read some new chapters from other stories.  Two were from the author sakurademonalchemist on Fanfiction.net and are the latest in a long line of stories the author has started, posted some chapters on, then started a new story.  They’ll occasionally post a new chapter to an old story, but not often.  sakurademonalchemist if you ever read this, I’m sorry, but it’s true.  I still enjoy your stories, but I wish you would finish them.  Having said that, they do finish some stories.  One such is Memories of Nobody, a great Harry Potter and Kingdom Hearts crossover that involves Xion, one of the saddest characters in the Kingdom Hearts series, taking Harry’s place after he is killed to save him and his parent’s hearts after her story ends in Kingdom Hearts.  The link is here – http://www.fanfiction.net/s/11898187/1/.  And the link to sakurademonalchemist’s page is – https://www.fanfiction.net/u/912889/sakurademonalchemist.

I’m gonna talk a little about Kingdom Hearts since it’s been mentioned.  I’ve played Kingdom Hearts since I was in middle school and next to Pokemon it is my favorite game series.  I am ecstatic that Kingdom Hearts III is finally coming out early next year and sad that they moved it from this year.  I don’t have much time to replay the series, but I’ve been watching a youtuber called SkywardWing play through ‘the games’ (insert Phil from Hercules voice here).  He’s a laugh and is one of the first people to play part of Kingdom Hearts III.  If you want to watch his videos, here is a link to his Youtube channel –  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt4qeayu0d0Yo5NHx_3xY9A.

Well, the end of the day approaches and I want to read a few more chapters of Black Sky and finish the daily missions on the mobile game – Kingdom Hearts Union x.  Good night and talk to y’all tomorrow!
