The Withered Roots
Feb. 19th, 2026 12:28 pmIt’s not clear who built the ‘village’, but given that it’s only slightly better than the ‘Golden Wigwam’ casino, the brothers really don’t like listening to Old Joe, and they’re indicated to have tried other money-making schemes before, I’m fully willing to blame them here.
The Chibaiskweda aren’t quite will o’ wisps, but they are swamp gas that’s considered a bad omen and often malicious, and some versions of will o’ wisps are related to Jack o’ Lantern (so if he didn’t have his fun earlier Jack would show up here) and/or the unquiet dead, so I figured it was close enough to mention. Even if the only swamp is near the Franklin Mansion.
The “thanks for letting me in” is only slightly paraphrased. I’d considered not doing this twist, but there’s a particular line that both said word-for-word, and I figured it was a sign.

Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me
Feb. 15th, 2026 05:49 pmObviously I’ve messed with the ages here; Polnareff is a year older and Anne is a year younger than Jotaro. Jotaro’s personality entirely fits in with the general Persona Star Arcana ‘hopeful but a little closed off’ trend. As does Polnareff’s ‘physical skill, brash, and highly focused on a goal’ Chariot Arcana description. I don’t know why I’m kind of leaning Temperance Arcana for Anne but as I’m not getting too far into the Personas it doesn’t really matter. Avdol/Abdul and Joseph show up instead of Maya and Yukino later on.
Slightly nervous but also excited about getting to post for an actual event for once.

Chapter Summary: Jotaro wasn't sure what he was expecting when he showed up to deal with a potential hostage situation (like that kind of thing was his responsibility in the first place; he only went along with it because otherwise he'd get nagged into going and it'd be even more of a pain) but he definitely wasn't expecting such a bizarre turn of events.

Into Perspective
Feb. 14th, 2026 02:25 pmI could have sworn I started writing this multiple times. Given that I haven’t actually found anything related to glasses anywhere in my documents or even handwritten, I don’t think I have. And I wanted to do a holiday fic for Valentine’s this year, so. Might as well. Happy Valentine's to everyone, and I hope you have a great day if you don't celebrate it.
Also, there was absolutely no indication whether Shaun was farsighted, nearsighted, or had astigmatism (basically, bumpy eyeballs). That’s usually an oversight (which, yeah, made its way into his rant here). He could be farsighted, since he’s usually staring at computer screens and paperwork and books, which are close-up stuff, but even when they were outside at the Coliseum or heading into Monteriggioni he was wearing his glasses, so I’m going with astigmatism here.
It occurs to me now that they didn't outright say it, but the X-Files did actually indicate that for once; Scully and Mulder are both farsighted as they only wear glasses for computer/paperwork so actual thought was put into writing the characters and I think that's neat. (While it was probably 'it's easier to do stunt work while not wearing glasses', it's still more than we usually see.)
(yes song choice is a pun on his voice actor)
Main Points: Assassin's Creed/The Secret World
Summary: As a Brit, Shaun is mainly a collection of self-depreciation and neuroses encased in skin. This surprises absolutely no one who knows him, but Desmond still manages to trip over the debris on occasion. (What does surprise is that this doesn't end badly every time.)

appropriate Valentine's dream
Feb. 14th, 2026 02:06 pmyou know, dreaming of being kiryu job-hunting with an increasingly demented majima cheerleader is an actually kind of appropriate dream for valentine's and I'm here for it. (there were badly drawn signs. there were weird antics involving calling ahead to the workplaces I was interviewing at. there were bento boxes. there was probably a future fight where kiryu gets frustrated and majima is more than happy to help him work it out. kiryu appreciated it but didn't notice half the stuff happening and was bemusedly appreciative of the other half.)

Back from ‘Vacation’
Feb. 9th, 2026 04:18 pmI didn't intend to go here but it makes sense. 'Ticking time bomb of fury' I can nearly guarantee is a Mystery Men reference, but I haven't watched it recently and should fix that.
