Random Ideas NooneImportant cares about.

[NooneImportant]

Hi.

So hear me out:

I can't write consistently. SFW or NSFW.
But I can scribble out plans and outlines before my brain gives up easy.
Sometimes I just get lucky and fill a plan with more and more detail until I accidentally a whole prose.
So here's my dump heap. From my phone and my ideas folder, straight here if I ever remember this thread exists.
If I ever bother to write a proper snippet, I'll post it in the index or go find an appropriate general thread. (There's gotta be one somewhere.)

Maybe I strike gold and miss it. Maybe you think you could do better.
If you do want to swipe an idea from here, go for it.
Just… please leave a reply in this thread with a link. (So I can read it myself.)

Sophia Everywhere System

(Basically Worm x Yakuza)

Instead of beating down Taylor without recourse unless she miraculously becomes "strong," Emma & Sophia decide to set things up in a way where Taylor is forced to survive direct onslaughts by fighting back, so that she is forged into strength as a result of constantly surviving. Madison is basically a PR Agent pulling miracles to remove them from consequences.

Taylor's triggers due to still not being able to retaliate despite Sophia claiming she can fight back. Legal ramifications and blackmail and stuff.
This causes a semi public trigger that even if PR-Team cover up everything, "everyone" (at school) knows and it'll eventually be leaked locally.
Specifically, Taylor's power is that when she gains some control of a situation, she gets *Control* over a situation.
(People think it's a Power-cancelling Trump in Striker range, because capes being grabbed by her don't use their powers to break out. But it's also Master and Shaker, because it has esoteric ranges and causes people to dodge the wrong way or shoot predicting a dodge in the wrong direction.) Basically, Taylor has Yakuza Heat and Heat Actions, and the scale of what is considered a "Heat Action" is pretty broad.
For example, Taylor can dodge Shadow Stalker's crossbow bolt, and suddenly grab her wrist, pull a knife out of nowhere and stab her in the elbow, despite Sophia normally being able to escape the consequences of her actions by phasing.

Cauldron being shits and enabling the trio to get away with this torment/game, even after Taylor triggers.
("There is in fact a step where getting that Madison Clements girl get good enough at covering up that even Glenn Chambers notices and hires her will help reduce social backlash." "Seriously?" "Yes. Not sure exactly how, but something along the lines of nurturing talent.")

At Lisa's reciprocated request, relying on Taylor's ability to supernaturally evade major consequences herself, doxxes the whole scenario.
(Does pressing the "Send" button with feeling count as a Heat Action? Sure, why not.)

Eventually, ABB and E88 attempt to 'recruit' Taylor. These are the Yakuza Random Encounters, to Sophia's Majima Everywhere System.

The PRT, too. Until a Long Battle on the way out of the Rig after exposing Sophia.
Then proceeding to pull a Lung and reality warp her way into somehow steam rolling the entire Wards and Protectorate on standby.
(Perfect blocking and causing Armsmaster's halberd to malfunction, or charging Miss Militia while dodging Bullet Fire.)
Then New Wave pops up, honestly, why didn't they offer a spot in the first place if they weren't waiting for a chance to look better? (Carol dammit) then Lung's holding Danny hostage. Of Course.
("You're trying to hold my dad hostage as well you know? 'We will pretend to try and fail to rescue your dad' on the condition that you work in our indentured servitude beside the bitch who bullied you into powers that we actively chose to allow." that's how Taylor feels about Protectorate's offer to assist in rescuing her dad if she becomes a hero working for them. (Piggot dammit))

Taylor "predicts" Oni Lee's teleport and kick him in the balls so hard he throws up in his mask. She then gets to "So Long King Bowser Lung" into the bay.

Taylor Tiger Drops Leviathan. This sends Leviathan flying out of the bay, but gives Eidolon space to duel Leviathan, so he's happy about it.

Uhh, filler prose:
Taylor stand before a bleeding out Shadow Stalker, where the SH9 have just dropped in. Sophia claims it was to make her strong! And now Taylor's stronger than she's ever been.
"If being strong means I am strong like Jack Slash, strong like Kaiser, strong like you, I'd rather be weak."
"Whoops looks like I'm too weak to rescue you, because Jack is strong and I am too weak to fight him. Goodbye, stalker."
Unlike Kiryu, Taylor won't forgive Sophia.
Ironically, everything set up until that point was orchestrated by the Slaughterhouse, and "Hero" Taylor was predicted to take the bait, submitting to save a life.
Jack not expecting that means he lost a little control of the situation, which means Taylor gained a little control of the situation.
Which means she has Heat and now has total control over the situation, which is leveraged into a win:
Even if Jack can read Taylor, Taylor's now passively making him write the wrong responses.
Even though Taylor is walking into Jack's home field advantage, she has slipped her dad a gun to defend himself, without expecting assistance.
On the end of her rope, but having destroyed Jack's failsafes, she declares "Now!" Hoping to throw Jack off. He doesn't fall for it, but Danny, sneaking into the fight shoots Jack in the back of the head, thinking it was a signal. Taylor leverages her power to its fullest potential and pretends she totally meant to do that.
(Contessa snuck Danny into the area and switched the pistol out with a Sting'ed pistol, a step to avoid Jack talking Zion into starting the genocide early. She can predict Jack, and Broadcast can't spoof Thinkers if Admin's metaphorically choking it.)

That's all I've got rn. Keep in mind this was before I cared about the antagonists motivations and backstories in Worm. And the original idea of this was the culmination of Yakuza 0 and reading the Worm fanfic Heroic Legacy.

 

[NooneImportant]

(Soft DMC cross with MHA)

MHA au where Izuku and Mei go full Dmc5 Nico.
Being inspired by criticizing AFO and Garaki's "shoddy work" and the introduction of DNA infused hero suits (like Lemillion and ideally Invisible Girl at some point). They use the DNA-hero suits principle to make quirked weaponry and prosthetics, i.e "Devil Breakers/Nomu Breakers." If Izuku gets OFA, channeling too much power into the arm like a Smash overloads the arm, making a breakaway attack, especially if he would get a prosthetic after breaking an arm one too many times. Like Nero!

The following is a list of potential "Nomu Breakers," and quirk factors that could be integrated in them.

Construction Rig: Creation, Manifestation, Weld, Dupli-Arms
Not actually a Nomu Breaker, but uses mad science to design and grow the arms.
Let me ask you: If Suneater was a cannibal, could he grow extra human arms? Induce the quirk into an artificial stomach, drop DNA sample in there. Alternatively, Dupli-Arms (Mezo Shoji's quirk) can create the arms, but the quirk infusion is easier with Suneater's quirk. Manifestation + Creation acts as a 3D printer, Weld + Creation is for parts that are inorganic or do not fit together organically.

Armdaptor Docket: Permeation,
If you don't have a missing arm, having a weave of permeation infused fibers causes your arm to phase through the breaker.

Amperage: Electrification, Wave Motion,
Amperage is basically DMC5 Overture, with the thunder-hand. Can be upgraded from using just Electrification to also use Wave Motion, directing the electricity and increasing the power and reliability.

Smash Mouth: Ear jack, Wave Motion, Loud Voice, Double Impact, Size,
Works like Gerbera. Size downsizes a massive heart that beats with Ear Jack without losing output. Mix Loud Voice and Wave Motion to cause directed sonic shockwaves, and Double Impact to amplify the effects on contact. Has two generic functions: Bass Boost, which makes every punch with it a minor Smash attack (in the context of MHA Smashes), and Noise Cancel, which is using the Sonic Shockwave to block an attack on contact, maybe even counter. The breakaway, "Blow Out The Speakers" causes a directed... beam of vibrations, tearing a line through whatever's in your way.

Tengen Toppa: Gyrate, Wave Motion, Horn Cannon, Sharpen, Fold-A-Body, Size, Gigantification,
It's Helter Skelter. Sharp Blades that rotate like drill or lawn-mower. Carving the air and earth to pull itself further with every turn. If you grit your teeth (metaphorically,) you can unlock the true spiral power of an unfolded, Spiral Wave Motion Gigantified Drill Breaker.

Rocket Man: Engine (Arm), Horn Cannon, Lizard Tail Splitter,
Basically Punch Line, which is a rocket fist Nero rides like a skateboard sometimes.
The Disconnection is smoothly executed by Lizard Tail Splitter, while Horn Cannon steers the ship. Tensei's variant of Engine puts the Punch in Punch Line, and the Rocket in Rocket Man.

Disco Party Animal: Navel Laser, Lizard Tail Splitter, Steel, Invisibility (Light Refraction), Wave Motion, Explosion,
It looks like a mirror ball and is as bright as one too. Lasers and laser-bits to really light up the room.

Bloody Valor: Blood Control, Hardening, Steel, Sharpen, Gyrate, Fold-A-Body
A blood-red arm that is polymorphic combat armanent. I mean it's blood in the shape of an arm, and can reshape, harden, sharpen, spin and fold into itself. Also, it's very high in iron content.

Nihil: Erasure, Hardening, Invisibility, Frog, Dupli-Arms, Lizard Tail Splitter, Naval Laser, Search, Zoom,
This arm has a bunch of Eyes that are hardened, covered in a hardened invisible nictitating membrane (frogs have it to protect their eyes underwater), that can separate from the arm, negate quirks and shoot eye lasers."

Blast Zone: Explosion, Somnambulist, Half-Cold Half-Hot, Gyrate, Black Hole, Solid Air,
Is Midnight's gas even flammable? This one is. fan out or suck back in a cloud to set of controlled demolitions.

Whiplash: Frog, Sugar Rush, Pop-Off, Zero-Gravity, Permeation, Dupli-Arms, Manifestation, Vine Hair, Tail, Pliabody
besides the wrapping of vine-tentacles, the main whip is a highly muscled tongue with a sticky "hand" at the tip. Fortunately, when the tip of the tongue phases, it is no longer sticky.

Dark Hold: Zero Gravity, Black Hole, Dark Shadow, Black,
The power of the void beckons...

Fingerbang: Comic, Explosion, Solid Air
With the power of the Creation Rig, It even looks like a Foam Finger!

Pretty in Pink: Acid, Zero Gravity, Creation, Explosion, Tape,
I know there's an explosive chemical reaction involving acidic material somewhere, I forgot about it though. Or maybe it was floating acid bubbles filled with Bomb sweat, latched onto with nitro-sweaty, half-melted tape, setting up traps and area denial before lighting with a spark or when the bubbles pop. I think there was supposed to be a receiver in each made bubble that sparks when receiving a signal on a arm specific channel, this one was designed a while ago.

Dragonforce: Naval Laser, Hellfire, Half-Hot Half-Cold, Dragon Transformation, Wave Motion, Hardening, Manifest, Loud Voice, Sharpen, Fold-A-Body
A menacing, draconic arm meant to pick up even heavier foes and smash them into the earth. It's alt-form is a dragon head that razes opposition to ash.

Phoenix: Hawk Wings, Hellfire, Half-Hot Half-Cold, Hardening, Sharpen, Steel, Fold-A-Body, Manifest, Horn Cannon, Lizard Tail Splitter
A storm of ever-blazing feathers. the hand look like a bird's talon as a thematic choice.

Pumped Up Kicks: Nagant Arm Cannon, Half-Hot Half-Cold, Explosion, Gyrate, Manifest, Steel, Engine (Arm), Engine (Leg), Rabbit, Electrification, Fold-A-Body,
Gun. Railgun. Rocket Gun. Bomb Gun. Metal Gun. Muscle Guns.

In A Blink: Erasure, Frog, Invisibility, Confession, Brainwash, Loud Voice, New Order, Comic, Earphone Jack, Lizard Tail Splitter, Size, Hardening, Steel,
In a Blink is from HiFi Rush. It's about the mind-control plot in the game. Uhh... That's about it.

Also, not a standard Nomu Breaker, but:
Ingenium's backup Legs: Rabbit, Engine (Legs), Half-Hot Half-Cold,
Even comes with self-thermoregulation!

 

[NooneImportant]

inspired by that one MHA fanfic featuring a female Nomu that is allowed to study at UA after escaping a facility.

"Let's make a Nomu!"
But less of a murder context and more test tube baby.
Totally because we need our own reinforcements, of course. No mad science daughters here!

Mineta convinces to make it sexy, so that she isn't "immediately written off as a freak against nature- not that it is, but let's not make it too difficult for her to live in Japan."
Why "her?" Why not? It wasn't going to be a girl, but Shouto used Endeavours money to buy a life sized blow-up doll immediately taking Mineta's word as an idea and not a joke. So initially, the Nomu is all the inside bits shoved into the doll, and eventually the basic appearance of the Nomu is recycled from the doll.

The 'blood donors:'
Izuku: One for All wasn't actually passed on, (technically Transfer was, which is the thing accidentally making the whole thing possible, to no one's knowledge) making the Nomu's Quirk Signature come up as blank or quirkless. Also, he came up with the idea, not Mei.
Mei: Zoom synchs well with Erasure. Mei is super excited to provide support gear to her "fleshy baby." All in on the project from the start, interested in "alternative baby making methods" and again, providing support gear for this Nomu.
Masahiro: Tail Quirk is super muscular, and provides a good base for all the Nomu's muscles. He is normally passed over for these crazy things, so he's just glad to be included for once.
Mezo: Dupli-Arms and regeneration plus easy-make body parts makes him highly valued. He also is normally passed over for these crazy things, so he's just glad to be included for once.
Rikido: Sugar Rush is not activated immediately, but sugar is stored in sacs near stomach that stockpile as sugar is eaten. This allows the controlled activation of Sugar Rush in specific areas, limiting the negative side-effects: Happy to be involved in something, especially if it's crazy but relatively low-stakes.
Mina: Acid Blood. Wasn't originally scouted but she found out. Her silence was bought with the Nomu's Xenomorph Upgrade.
Yuga: Forced to spy by Shigaraki, proceeds to provide a comprehensive, complete but actually-wrong-on-the-subtle-technical-level report. (The discrepancy is based on how AFO believes OFA works means that the class' method for making a Nomu shouldn't work. He's right. It really shouldn't. Except… yeah. See Izuku's section.) Yuga, in a subtle act of rebellion, pitches in with his Dazzling quirk and ideas (which subtly natural-counters Leage members based on what he knows about the members) as a screw-you.
Tooru: Invisibility's light refraction could be used? Glad to be included
Shoto: Donated Half-Hot Half-Cold is mostly used for temperature regulation. Bought the doll as a joke. Initially interested because it was Izuku's idea.
Mineta: Pop Off mixed with Acid and Half-Hot Half-Cold provides a naturally sticking/bouncing/slipping skin, and a solid defensive option for the Nomu. Was there at the birth of the idea. Wasn't really expecting it to take off, but supportive nonetheless.
Fumikage: Nomu is considered Dark Shadow's chick/niece. The base of Dark Shadow's Dark Shadow-ness in the donated DNA is applied to give Nomu an ego/personality and identity. Fumikage is glad to be part of the "greatest dark ritual that grants unnatural life" he'll ever come across.
Sero: Tape has been altered by Creation to be more free form in what counts as "tape." Subject's current favourite manifestations are bandages. Also, Tape helps printing/weaving when manifesting other fibers since the class can't reasonably get DNA from Best Jeanist. (What are they going to do? Ask Bakugo to ask Best Jeanist for a DNA sample?) Otherwise, Sero's happy to be included.
Nezu: Initially has a sore spot pressed by the project until the culprits unwittingly prove that they are treating their creation as a person and thinking being. Then he whole heartedly approves and wishes to give the subject a copy of his higher intelligence/Sonic Specs so she can keep up when she is being taught (preferably by him). Now finds the whole thing hilariously wonderful.
Aizawa: Very annoyed by the fact they went under his nose for this, but he can't argue that he would've stopped if he knew. He would've stopped the project if it wasn't for the project finally getting Nezu's approval. Punished everyone he could find directly involved with in-school-suspension. (Izuku, Mei, Mineta, Shoto.) Everyone else joined out of solidarity, and then the subject herself joined in. Lent his powers with the idea of one-shotting All-for-One or Shigaraki with Erasure.
Tsuyu: Frog eyelids (the nictitating membrane) protects Erasure during uptime. Other frog abilities are also helpful, such as better hops and the expunging stomach principle is used in the sugar-storage sacs. Slightly more chill about being protected from consequences of being involved by not being told about the project, (she avoided suspension thanks to that). After introduction to the subject, became prime big sis to the Nomu.
Momo: more likely to bankroll the operation than inject Creation into the Nomu tbh (Creation is a nice supporting-quirk for some others like Tape). Excited to buy clothes with Mina for the subject ig?
Eijiro: Considers the Nomu a being of Manliness. Hardening is a rock solid choice for any quirk-composite unit, especially for soft parts, like eyes currently applying Erasure or a nictitating membrane protecting those eyes.
Kaminari: Electrification is more used internally, accelerating nerves and muscles to move more meat faster.
Iida: You'd think he'd be all "please stop this, it's against the rules plus think of the ethics," but as a semi-legitimate science project turned responsibility, he takes it in stride. Besides, we're talking about the same guy who went AWOL to go kill a guy. Engine Boost means Nomu has rocket power.
Ochako: Look, it was Izuku's idea. He literally went: "Uraraka-san, may I borrow some hair for a quirk-science project?" And boom: he suddenly had a fistful, no questions asked. Zero Gravity; I don't think a metaphorical ton of muscle needs the ability to make anything other than herself lighter, but I also don't know if she has the ability to be queasy.
Mirio, Nejire, Tamaki, Eri. Not donors, but Nomu is Eri's new playmate/bodyguard.

Overall, the story would be about caring for responsibility you take on yourself, and a subtle question of if OFA and AFO count as Nomu.

The real subject/Nomu in the story would have a name to differentiate her from the League's, but I have no idea what to call her.

The D-Wave/Gatekeeper is an easy in for NIKKE crossover fanfiction. It'd be the whole NIKKE category on fanfiction.net if that site was ever in a functional state again.

Click to shrink...

For example:

[Andersen's Office]

Andersen: "Welcome back. How was the D-WAVE?"
Commander: "Went great. the locals were nice, I got to pick some local delicacies, and made some friends."
*Vaporeon pops out of the ball.*
Andersen: "What have you got there?"
Commander: *Bites into a blue fruit* "An Oran berry."

Andersen: "...I have a meeting in less than five minutes, and this will take too long to fully debrief, so just write up a full report by Monday."
Commander, stroking a stretching Vaporeon: "Will do, sir."
Andersen: "It's good to have you back, Commander. ...Why don't you give your friend a tour of the Outpost, no need to cause havoc in the Ark."
Commander: "Understood."
*Gardevoir pops out, waves to a startled Andersen, and teleports herself, Vaporeon and the Commander out.*

Why do the Counters have teams? They really weren't given a choice. When they tried to dissauade the Pokemon by telling them they have to leave the world at the end of their mission, they either went "Cool, adventure!" or "SHUT UP AND GIVE ME YOUR BALLS ALREADY!"

Commander's Team: Vaporeon, Gardevoir, Lopunny, Kangaskhan, Pheromosa, Tsareena.
- Also, has Vespiqueen approval after helping defend a hive, but the Ark is not conductive to hive building and good luck trying on the Surface.
- He did not have a say in any of his team choices, except for Vaporeon and Gardevoir, and Gardevoir as a Kirila actively sought him out.
- Buneary reminded him of Privaty, especially when she forced her way into his team, then turned into Noir when she evolved.
- The Kangaskhan was willing to part ways, but the Commander really couldn't say no the the baby's teary-eyes.
- Pheromosa's an alien immigrant, he accidentally sheltered her from pursuit, and she has latched on ever since.
- Tsareena acted like a brat, got slapped down and told no, and then she forced herself into his party, locking out Lucario, who just stepped out to get her affairs in order before joining.

Rapi's: Arcanine, Ninjask, Metagross, Shedinja, Mimikyu, Ninetales
- Nincada, which became Ninjask, was an accidental capture, Shedinja was also an accidental.
- Arcanine refused to leave Rapi alone after she sat next to and pet him once.
- Metagross, Ninetales and Mimikyu were conscious decisions to recruit once she realized she wasn't getting out of that world without extras, intentionally picked with their psychic/memory powers and especially their rumored long lives in mind.

Anis: Kabuto, Garganacl, Tentacruel, Ferroseed, Machamp, Lucario
- She and Neon got Kabuto and Snom because they're cute.
- Nacli was cute and fun to carry around; Anis got annoyed at being "too heavy" to carry when Nacli evolved into Naclstack; but now she can ride on Garganacl.
- Anis went fishing for Magikarp because it would be funny to have one, one she had hooked got away and she fell off the boat. She ended up... tied up, by Tentacruel. She ended up... suplexing the Tentacruel. Underwater. Don't ask.
- Ferroseed fell out of a tree, would've fell on the Commander's head if Rapi didn't tackle him out of the way or they didn't get teleported by Metang and/or Gardevoir. Ferroseed was about to start something before being immediately threatened by at least eight Pokemon until Anis laughed at him and picked him up. Ferroseed tried to perforate her with Pin Missile, but Anis is a NIKKE made of tougher stuff, and just threw him into (and through) the tree. He proceeded to Rollout after her until she dropped a Pokeball on accident, on Ferroseed.
- She ended up having a dispute over a petty gripe with Machop and threw hands with him, and he was inspired to learn under her and wouldn't take a no for an answer. Going from Machoke to Machamp was as easy as having him "study under the Commander for a bit."
- Lucario originally planned to join the Commander's team, seeing his honest heart and all that. She took a couple of days to put affairs in order before joining, and when Lucario returns, she comes back to some bitchy Tsareena stealing her spot. Anis donated her last slot to Lucario, missing out on a Slaking that seemed to switch between Truant out of combat and Huge Power in combat, which kinda sucked for her. Lucario is at least aware of Anis' sacrifice and appreciates it.

Neon: Snom, Flareon, Tinkaton, Rapidash, Octillery, Alolan Golem
- Interestingly, Neon is the only member who had full control over her team's final roster.
- She and Anis got Snom and Kabuto because they're cute.
- She sought out a Flareon to emulate her Master.
- She came across baby Tinkatink wanting to make the "Ultimate Power Hammer of Power" and resonated; she is convinced the answer is a "Firepower Hammer."
- She heard "Rapi" in Rapidash and immediately went for her.
- Octillery is apparently at his peak for firepower, waterpower, thunderpower, icepower, grasspower and more. Probably all his bullet-style attacks.
- She saw Alolan Golem's Galvanised Hyper Beam and got instantly hooked.
- She only missed out on a Blastoise because he had previously made engagements and she had a full party anyway, but they had fun "training their waterpower" together.

(Remember that Arceus and some other legendaries can freely move through time and space. If any other Pokemon show up, it'd probably be Vespiqueen, Slaking and Blastoise being dropped off at Eden to link up with Modernia.)

Izuku's totally legit quirks
Originally to avoid bullying but became a running inside joke, Izuku constantly gives a bullshit answer when asked what his quirk is and goes out of his way to make it believable. Unfortunately, All Might and co. thinks he actually has all those quirks and is therefore a Nomu or something.

This sort of thing be great in snippet format.
Sort of like Quirks for Deku, on fanfiction.net, (which I forgot the author of,) except it's Izuku bullshitting about him having those quirks so hard it works.

Mutation: Double joint toes
Mutation based Emitter: Ocular Gushers
Emitter: Analysis
Emitter: Mutter Onslaught
Passive Emitter: Trouble Magnet
Emitter: Emerl Improv
Emitter: Spitfire (Support Gear)
Emitter: Item Summoning (Notebook out of nowhere)
Emitter: Power punch (Gear)
Emitter: Attraction of Metal Objects (Gear)
Mutation based Emitter: Quick step (Gear)
Mutation based Emitter: Hot Heels (Gear)
Mutation: insanely high pain tolerance
Mutation: Fire Resistance
Emitter based Transformation: Silver Tongue
Passive Emitter: Attraction of Hot Bodies
Emitter: Menacing Aura; Death Glare
Mutation/Emitter: Blank
Emitter: Technopathy (Hackerman)
Emitter: Alternate Seer (With a lucky amount of bullshit and a bullshit amount of luck, Izuku uses analysis and prediction to guess what would've happened when someone does something compared to something else. Basically, he pretends to be Coil. And there's some protagonist level luck letting him get away with it.)


Bonus points if All for One gets an idiot ball thrown at him and loses some quirks to Izuku for it after kidnapping him to take the non existent source of his multiple "quirks" a la 849.
(He then proceeds to use those quirks to help fake other quirks. At this point it's just funny and he can't stop.)

Or a quirk which makes you able to do anything others believe you can, and suddenly all those fake quirks are actually a thing.
(this could just be its own thing rather than a plot point in a fanfiction idea about Izuku faking quirks really well)

 

[NooneImportant]

Mad science again.
During a break, (either cancelled classes or between first Finals and Shopping Trip,) Mina and friends go to a convention. (SI/AU bs or something, just roll with it.)
At anime con, Mina wants to go as (Majin) Android 21.
Because astronomy was shafted in favour of biology because quirks, and UA Support Course Library has a lot of reference/research material, so: use extra credit/experiments or something as an excuse to make a working tail.

"A thick tentacle wrapped in pink, acid-proof, leathery (Mina-coded) quirk-material for skin. Powered by a lizard-hindbrain and with nerves that latch on like wires to the base of Mina's tailbone. The triangular base of the tail has a wide top edge, and tapers down concavely into a thin point to fit snugly between Mina's rear. The base suctions over her tailbone like a defanged octopus or cephalopod, ensuring a smooth visual transition between girl and tail."

Mina now has a tail. She really likes it and keeps it on, even after the con; with a little practice, it even helps in combat and hero work. Due to the design, and carrying Mina's blood which has her quirk factor, it also can channel Acid.

In chapter 2/Then she wants an extra pair of arms as an experiment, (Hatsume also wants tentacle arm babies to help make more babies), so she can make a Xenomorph themed Armor as an alt costume because fun.
The rousing success of this experiment opens the floodgates.
(Which are rapidly shut by Aizawa, but even his hardass bashable expulsion-happy policies cannot completely stem the flow of science projects featuring attachable extra limbs, which can also be useful for hero work. It's like a black market, sorta.)

Failsafes developed include clear construction and operational methods for non-invasive, invasive, external and internal items. Quirk overload, like what happens with Nomu, will only degrade the attachment, not the user.
(These features are some of the things preventing the successful total shutdown of the series of projects)

The (parasitic?) symbiosis between Mina and her tail causes them to become one, partially because of how she thought of the tail as an extension of herself rather than an equippable arm. Quirk awakenings are wild yo.

Other projects include:
Wings of Darkness for Tokoyami, which both allow flight and through creating new quirks through mixing genes similar to the basis of quirk marriages (Todoroki brought it up), can emit a field that can emit or absorb radiation, specifically visible light. (Theoretically, a quirk awakening of the wings can allow other kinds of radiation, like nuclear, but he doesn't need or want to pursue that.)
Deku's Spare Arms, brought up as a joke, but he can attach them and blow them up safely. Carrying them around is a pain, though.
Some New Legs for Tensei, thanks to Iida.
I dunno, maybe a regular adult-sized body for Mineta, piloted like a Mecha?

Honestly this is the sort of mad science that leads to full grown flesh babies. Maybe Hatsume forgets boundaries exist, and tries her hand at biomechanics. This results in babies with varying levels of cyborgness. She also finds a solution to world hunger, despite not being her focus as a side effect of food costs for her babies cutting into her tinkers budget.

There was this one line in a Love Hina fanfiction: That Darned Cat, by Tezza1502, on Fanfiction.net: (Shinobu POV: )
"She managed to clamp her hand over her mouth as she squealed. This was a habit she was trying to train herself to do whenever she was startled, as any loud noise from her automatically meant that her sempai would be beaten for doing something 'perverted' to her. Whether he was remotely nearby or not."

Shinobu is trying her best here. She's been trying idea after idea to find a way to stop Keitaro from getting hurt all the time.
Making herself out to be clearly at fault for an incident gets Keitaro hurt.
Making a public scene or declaration gets Keitaro hurt.
Punishing Keitaro herself in Naru's and Motoko's stead to remove the need for them to do it (bopped on the nose lightly with a wooden spoon) gets ignored and Keitaro hurt further anyways.
Telling Naru and Motoko to chill, she can handle herself gets her ignored, and Keitaro hurt.
Calling the Police gets Keitaro hurt, even female authorities in the Force can't help.
Applying for a job (part-time because anime-world labor laws I can't be assed to research) somehow causes Keitaro to get hurt.
Doing nothing just means Keitaro will be hurt as per the scheduled programming.
Desperately taking a hit from Naru on "accident" to scare her into stopping just gets Keitaro blamed for it and hurt.
Having to do the rest of the Inn's chores besides cooking because someone launched the Manager into another prefecture again gets Keitaro another private domestic flight when he returns. Which hurts.

Shinobu is trapped in a psychological horror-story where she is desperately trying to get the other residents to let Keitaro live, and it's turning out to be a futile effort.
Featuring Kitsune actively making things worse, baiting Naru and twisting the narrative of situations for her own amusement. (She sees nothing wrong with Keitaro's situation.) (It's bashing if it's an exaggerated part of her canon character, right? Mitsune-bashing it is.)
And also Mutsumi being either the Load/Millstone in Shinobu's efforts to save Keitaro from his constant existence of physical trauma, or being Shinobu's ally and stuck in a slightly different flavor of the same hell, where all her efforts are rendered meaningless in some form or other. In Mitsumi's place, her own fumbling is what ruins her attempts, and sets Naru/Motoko off on Keitaro due to compromising positions.

Il Viaggiatore is literally Italian for "The Traveler." That's it. That's the joke.
The Italian titles are pretty cool. Kinda forgot they were Harbinger exclusive shhh!

Now, normally, Nahida is a precious radish who would never dare abuse her power as a Branch of Irminsul, not even to threaten Il Dottore into compliance with the danger of wiping away all of his research and experiments from his own mind. (She really should've though. fucker deserves it.)
That said, she does have an odd sense of humor, and in this iteration, it aligns a little more with the Wanderer. So she's... unusually amenable to bending the rules a little to get one over the Fatui...

Using Irminsul's access to all the data in the world, i.e. everyone of Teyvat's subconscious, insert the imaginary existence of a new, mysterious, elusive, Harbinger, always on a mission, who's operations span across up to five nations and counting.

Il Viaggiatore, or Viatorix the Traveler. A fitting name for one who's work reaches from end to end of Teyvat.

Spoiler: Il Viaggiatore face claim

With input from a vindictive Balladeer Hat Guy to help learn the key things a real Harbinger should know, all that's missing are some loyal Fatui troops... and then we can start butting in on operations with our own operations and also just being able to walk up and mess with Fatui for basically free.
..Oh yeah, we also need a Delusion, too.
We could go ask Diluc to borrow his, or Nahida can come back after taking a "dook-dook" with a distinct Dendro not-vision in her hand.

Spoiler: Dendro Hallucination

"It looks like a Nagadus Emerald Gem bordered in silver wire. While it has the symbol of the Fatui painted on in white, looking closer at the gem reveals inside is the image of Sapientia Oromasdis - Nahida's Constellation." A weak seperated piece of Nahida is being lent to the First Sage of Buer in trust. Powered by the otherwise sealed starborne power of the Traveler, it contains the ability to contact Nahida at range, and imitate her ability to basically read and even write/delete information in peoples heads. It took some extra effort to modify it so that The Traveler also has a "cool install" like the other Harbingers without side effects.

Now all that's missing are "loyal Fatui troops," contacts, and a mission to currently be busy on. Shame Katarina from the Chasm went missing. Or we could've had a cute Electro Cicin Mage. Wait, this is Questionable Questing. Nevermind.

Spoiler: Katarina

I guess we're off to Mondstat to recruit some people and mess with some more people.

---

Diluc is not amused that the Traveler he fought alongside to save Mondstat was secretly the 12th 11th* 10th** Fatui Harbinger, Il Viaggiatore, but is slightly more amused by the whole thing being a prank. Venti is also very amused.
(*Scaramouche doesn't exist)
(**Signora is fucking dead)

While Diluc contests with the fact that people before him have opposed the Tsaritsa or the Fatui before getting recruited into the group, and the horror that he totally could've been marked for recruitment into the Fatui (real), Diluc is given an offer to join the Fatui (fake).
He takes the role of Uccel dell'alba "Uccelalba, Il Viaggiator's primary contact and second-in-command in Mondstat," (as far as everyone's subconsious goes,) which honestly means nothing except that anyone who believes in the con will look to Diluc as a loyal Fatui superior in disguise, taking orders from him, a power which he is free to abuse for himself for the funny.
Although they do need to break it to Jean so she doesn't try to bend her mind around her childhood friend who contains a clear, burning hate for the Fatui somehow being a Harbinger's second all this time.
At least she doesn't need to worry as much about the Fatui all the time, unless another Harbinger decides to pay a visit, as this stunt brings all the 'free-floating' Fatui in Mondstat that were brought in by the former La Signora and Il Dottore into the fold of Il Viaggiatore, and by extension, Uccelalba, a.k.a. Diluc in Disguise.
Due to Diluc being extra harsh to "his own operatives," Mondstat Fatui mistake Uccelalba for a real Harbinger, but then you come across him being reprimanded by "Il Viaggiatore," that he is supposed to have standards, ("Even if you don't like them, sending them off on suicide missions is poor form!") and go "oh yeah, he's the second in command."

---

Also being recruited into the "Fatui, Il Viaggiatore's cell, Mondstat branch" are:

Venti, a.k.a. "Il Bardo" Volunteered as soon as Diluc accepted the first offer. He is never seen by anyone except Viaggiatore and Uccelalba, but he's supposedly the Head of Recon in this branch of this cell. He's a bit more subtle with his messing with the Fatui than Diluc. Usually his "reports" are ridiculously vague/obtuse or in poem form "as a cipher," which is a code that somehow only the Harbinger Viatorix or his second can crack. (He's just bullshitting. They're all just bullshitting. shhh!)

Mona, a.k.a. Destino Stella "Destinella" Supposedly joined up for the steady paycheck that doesn't get in the way of her day job. Seriously: If you are a Fatui grunt, one of the few no-strings, not-screwing-with-you, actually-legitimate jobs Uccelalba or Bardo will give you, is "Stellar Duty," a.k.a. "Please ensure Destinella eats some fucking food oh Tsaritsa how has she not died yet."
Supposedly we get a little extra funding from Northland specifically for this purpose. How Il Viaggiatore swung that no one knows. Who knows what deal the Traveler made with Tartaglia?

Noelle, a.k.a. "La Domestica" She isn't one of Uccelalba's normal housekeepers, and when she accidentally walked in on a Fatui meeting doing random odd-jobs and house-cleaning the Traveler had to rapidly make up a story for her on the spot, and now Noelle is a prospective Harbinger, according to the Mondstat Fatui.
Supposedly, Domestica is aiming to become "La Cavaliere, the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger" and while at first the Fatui question why Uccelalba and Il Bardo are so nice to La Domestica, and initially assume it's Viaggiatore favoritism, then they come across Noelle doing classic Noelle things and yeah, it's just because she alone outclasses them in dedication and effectiveness by a wide margin ("Uccelalba is always dissapointed in us. We're being compared to her. Honestly? That's fair.")
Noelle isn't even fully aware she's now a part of the joke, she just was read in when she nearly broke the masquerade the first time so she doesn't accidentally call the wrong name, sometimes she is called over to help clean up a base or deliver stuff to Master Diluc- (-oh! I mean Master Uccelalba!) and apparently the Fatui are calling her boss lady??? Why?? She's the one who lives to serve?
- It's no Anemo Vision, but if Barbatos Il Bardo slips her an Anemo not-Delusion to help her cover story, and the Traveler went out of the way to have it boosted to low-Harbinger levels to "sell the disguise," well, Noelle is being peer pressured into not refusing a gift for once. It's very helpfull as a vacuum cleaner. (And a vacuum is very useful for a 'cleaner.')
There are also a group of Fatui in the sub-faction who are inspired by La Domestica's driva and dedication to the "cause." And want to work under her. They went to the Traveler, and they went "sure, lol. Noelle needs practice in a leading position anyway."
So, now there is a sub-cell (who answer to Noelle) within a sub-cell (Mondstat under Uccelalba) of a cell (Viatorix) of the Fatui: The Domestica Cleaners.
It's one part taking the load off of Noelle's maid runs so she can train more and pass her "knightly exams," which is a front for the other part: mis-construing Noelle's words to basically be the other sort of "cleaners."
When La Domestica is not available, the cleaners turn the the head cleaner of the general Mondstat branch, who only takes orders from Uccelalba or L'Idola: La Suora.

Rosaria a.k.a. "La Suora" She executes traitors. She is the Assassin. She is, 'the big stick.'
Those who compromise missions out of malice, talk shit about Viatorix, or get a little too wise, are prone to turning a corner and having La Suora leaning on the wall right in front of you, smoking. Waiting.
If your lucky enough to not be the target, you can turn behind you to check that the way back isn't blocked by an ice spear and you can go on your way. Otherwise, the knife in your back is going to be the least of your worries...
She seems to only be reigned in even a little by L'Idola...

Barbara a.k.a. "L'Idola" She cheers you up with her presence. She is the Medic. She is, 'the big carrot.'
Fatui members pool their spare change together for group/family tickets to Barbara's concerts. Some mind-bending using the Traveler's Delusion was used to ensure a seperation between Barbara, L'Idola of the Viaggiatore's Fatui cell, Mondstat, and Barbara, sister of Jean Gunnhildr, Acting Grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius. Those who still managed the connection (and weren't silenced by La Suora or Uccelalba) are amazed at the power of Il Viaggiatore's Charisma to even subvert someone tied so closely to Mondstat.
Anyway, some members are fans of Barbara. Some members are in the Barbara Fanclub. Some members have missions to subtly bodyguard L'Idola or keep an eye on the Barbara Fanclub, specifically Albert.
To not die from a severe case of La Suora, you need to beg L'Idola for forgiveness. And if she doesn't, or you managed to offend her somehow... Not even she can save you, even if she will try anyway.
When some of the higher ups in the branch speak with L'Idola, everyone is ordered to secure privacy on pain of La Suora. (Death.) This is because Barbara does not actually have any idea what's going on, just that there are more people visiting her concerts, her big sister maybe hired bodyguards for her, Rosaria has apparently taken over the Fatui as La Suora, and sometimes members beg on their knees for forgiveness to her, instead of Rosaria.

Diona a.k.a "La Barista, La Gatto, La Piccolo Barista" Joined up to further her plots to destroy the Mondstat Wine Industry.
The Fatui don't know if it's to promote Snezhnayan Vodka or cripple Mondstat's economy, or what. They know she sure can mix a good drink though.
Fatui members who enjoyed the "old days" but toe the line enough to not get La Suora'd enjoy the "conventional" missions La Barista proposes.
It is rumored that when she mentions a Oceanid's cursed blessing, she is referring to her secret Hydro Delusion made from the essence of Egeria's corpse.

Albedo, a.k.a. "L'Alchamista" Since Nahida got Il Dottore to delete his Segments, which includes the ones operating labs in Mondstat, there's a bunch of powerful and dangerous research and experiments that really shouldn't be in the wrong hands, and are no longer in anyone's hands. No one really wants Il Dottore to get his research back. (Except Il Dottore. But fuck that guy.)
Lord Uccelalba has given the Fatui orders to reclaim his research notes for "L'Alchamista's" own experiments.
Meanwhile, The Knights of Favonius has assigned a task force organised by Kaeya to reclaim the illegal research for Mondstat's own ends.
It's totally weird how both of these operations put the notes, labs and material squarely into Albedo's hands, it's not as if it was planned or anything... (Wink.)
Albedo even has an alibi: sometimes, you can see Albedo and L'Alchamista in the same spot! (It's not as if there are two Albedos, so he can't possibly be L'Alchamista.)

Klee, a.k.a. "Doco, La Bomba, Piccolo Bombadiere, Terror Tot, L'Alchamista's Little Sister." If 'making sure Destinella doesn't die or get in trouble' duty is a reward, being assigned to 'making sure La Bomba doesn't die or get in trouble' duty is a punishment.
It's not the "prevent her from dying" part that's difficult, it's the "ensure she stays out of trouble" part.
Especially when she has so many bombs and the favor of almost all the big names in this branch. Sometimes, Fatui members resort to taking the blame for Doco's explosions, running away from the Knights of Favonius in order to complete the mission.
Then they are failed anyway because they caused a ruckus that paints the Fatui as terrorists within Mondstat's borders. ("Who do you think you're working for? La Signora?")
It kind of obvious (to the Fatui) that "the only reason La Bomba isn't on a leash is because she is clearly another Harbinger Prospect. And L'Alchemista's little sister. Also the only reason La Bomba doesn't have even a standard Delusion is because her brother confiscated it for not her own safety, but ours. Thank you, Lord Alchamista for your benevolence."
Klee's just trying to have fun while being chaperoned (while Big Brother, Kaeya and the Traveler are busy) by weird adults in masks. Except for a couple of the ones who actually enjoy playing with Klee. They're cool. (Those ones are secretly given a little leniency, even by La Suora, because Doco said they are cool.)

Kaeya: he isn't actually part of the cell officially, he's just in on the joke in a more active manner than the others simply read in, like Lisa. "Uccelalba" sends his troops on a "mission," and Kaeya intercepts them. This is how they channel their sibling rivalry! It's fucked up, but somehow more healthy than before.

Fischl a.k.a "La Prinzessin die Vertilung, Princess Amy Fischl Narfidort" Apparently, one of the other nations outside the view of the Seven, linked solely to mainland Teyvat beyond the Golden Apple Archipelago. Apparently, Il Viaggiatore is planning to expand their operations and influence beyond even the Seven Nations! Also, this explains why Lady Destinella is considered a VIP beyond her abilities and research. Sasuga Lord Viatorix!
(In reality, Fischl's playing along because the Traveler's playing along. It's fun, even until the scope is blown way out of proportion and oh Barbatos, we can't stop this anymore! We have to double down on the con!)

Paimon, a.k.a. "Primordiale, Paimon for short, Cibo di Emergenza, La Guida Tuiristica Mondiale, or just La Guida" not actually part of the Mondstat branch, but part of Viatorix's cell, and the only one who follows Il Viaggiatore around everywhere.
Apparently, she never shows her full power, but please remember that she can fly, teleport and wear a crown.
So give her respect.
Never, ever call her emergency food.
On pain of Paimonial Fury. (No one has ever faced actually suffered Paimonial Fury, before being forgiven by Primodiale's benevolence, thank the Tsaritsa.)
Fear her.
And be baffled at Il Viaggiatore's audacity to call her "Cibo de Emergenza" (to her eternal frustration) when even Lord Uccelalba wouldn't dare, and amazed that they alone get away with it.

---

See, the issue is that when you have a Harbinger that is very popular and apparently wildly successful with their operations within even a single nation, let alone over half of Teyvat, is that you and your cell kind of get popular.
And that means that you eventually will have Fatui from the Motherland Snezhnaya wanting to be deployed under your name, even if you have never met them before, and the other Harbingers will come knocking on your door for various reasons... Oh, and some point you are expected to 'return' to Zapolyarny Palace at some point to report to the Tsaritsa. (Well... at least you are certain to have an audience with the Archon then.)

---

Stay tuned for the Liyue branch of Il Viaggiatore's "cell" of the Fatui:
How it has successful "spies" even in the higher up statuses in Liyue (never said it was the Fatui that's spying)
How Tartaglia's prestige is boosted by being one of the very few fellow Harbingers Viatorix bothers to give the time of day to, and on a regular basis too!
How their cells in a joint effort turned one of Il Dottore's former segment's labs into toy factories as fronts for further operations (Sasuga Lord Harbingers!)
And how Childe's cell was temporarily absorbed into Viatorix's control while Childe is off somewhere, waiting to return to Liyue or otherwise relocate.
Alongside who is in the command structure of Il Viaggiatore's Fatui cell: Liyue branch. (i.e. Who else is in on the joke.)

 

[NooneImportant]

Ranma 50/50 (as a name for a Ranma 1/2 fic, many connotations, depending on where you take it.)
As far as I can tell, Ranma 1/2 doesn't have many world ending threats like Naruto or Dragonball.
So in the context of a D(ice)BZ style/inspired game/fic/log: there are no real "Faction" Rolls, (as far as I know,) just individual characters.
For posting on the more active NSFW board purposes, a shift in 2 years from 16 to 18 isn't nearly as much of an effect on the story... Except Ranma will have never been to any formal education, on the road with Genma and all that.
With all the "honor" and "marraige/death contracts" and "sworn vengeance" thrown around, you'd probably have to keep track of all grudges and contracts Genma dragged Ranma into (plus ones he/she stumble onto themself).

So out of the "canon 'factions'," we have: a lot. wow. Beyond the "main contenders" they are all like, background scenery tho. Probably just random encounters/single episode scrubs. Damn.
You see, I had this idea where the Age Up means Genma swindled even more people with Ranma as the fall guy, and many more of those "factions" track him down to Nerima. Or he goes off to resolve them himself. I could roll for how many extra factions want Ranma's head or "head." Damn unless I write all the vanilla scrubs out for some reason, never mind then. Too many hoes to keep track of in the shed.

Actually, even though I'd probably add some D(ice)BZ rules into this. I might as well make it somewhat Gamer/SI. Purely because of the 50/50 title meaning we need a Gacha of some kind to complete the joke.

Also, SI/Gamer/Dice fics provide an excuse that with more opportunities or an extra perspective shoved into Ranma's head means we can make up new techniques he/she has learnt, like:

Roar of the Clear Blue Sky! (In-weeb: Sunda-aozora no Gaon (Not bothering with a Japanese Translation))
Fire a solid shot/pillar of "hot" Ki to blast the clouds directly above you apart, temporarily making the weather clear. May be boosted by a Soul of Ice enhanced "cold" blast skyward before to strengthen the blast through the principle of temperature-based gas expansion, or after to use the inverse principle of temp-gas-expand to pull those clouds together and condense them faster. Generally, the weather will snap back after a while with interest. Also may help set up Hiten Shoryu Ha Hiryu Shoten Ha, whoops (Dragon's Heaven Blast)

Dance in the Rain (In weeb: Amaai ni Mai/Ame-kan ni Mai. In real (butchered) JP: 雨間に舞/雨 間に舞 (there is a subtle difference in the "spellings"))
Developed to get home dry, (very important for those under the curse of Jusenkyo!) Step, bob and weave with Martial-Artist super-speed to 'dance' through dangerous raindrops (or, in combat, enemy attacks.) Y'know that Sonic Sway from DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 2/3? or that one youtube clip of the kid afterimage-sidestepping through the rain, to a Touhou OST? Yeah. kind of like that.

Wild Tempest Lightning Strike (Barrage/Combo) (Ranran Raigeki (Rendan))
Literally because the Weeb name's metronomic meter? How it feels to say it with feeling? Idk, just tickles a spot on the back of my head.
Basically a Dragonball-brand Meteor Combination. Could be anything, but the (probably Ki-enhanced) Divekick at the end of the 'launcher, air rave, smackdown' "Barrage" would be the individual "Lightning Strike" that gives the Combo it's name. (Like the "Meteor Smash" (super double hammer-fist) at the end of "Meteor Combination.") I'm 80% sure the Meteor Combination was in the manga/anime and not just a videogame thing.

Also, because Martial Artist, Drop him into Dragon Ball. Z, so he has training time to catch up with at least Tien/Krillin/Yamcha, but maybe with the expectation of joining not just the WMA Tournaments but also the Tournament of Power in Super because Ranma, like many others, (stares at Taylor Hebert, Keitaro Urushima, Shinji Ikari) are not allowed to have truly nice things/times...
(If I was a ROB, I'd give a hook for an arc where Ranma-dropped-into-DB has to confront his cat fear by "granting" (*cough* *cough* "forcing on") her a Great Ape Cat form tied to the Nekoken.
This results in: if he says she is not of this world, it is misunderstood as "he is an alien." (Which is technically true.)
She is mistaken to be some distant Saiyan analogue but replace "Ape" with "Cat." And his constant claims of being human are her desperate attempts to blend into a stable society after he fled here due to someone (assumedly Frieza) destroyed her home planet.
Ranma has no way of dissuading anyone (except gods, who find this hilarious and keep the facade going for their own amusement; did one of them wish the 'Felicians' were retroactively real?) of this 'cover story.'
It is also assumed cursed springs are some sufficiently mystical reason made-up after hearing of the dragon balls to explain his form-shifting, the innate trait of his people;
Nerima is the name of a planet/sector;
and the real reason this cat hates water is because it makes her lose control of his forms.
They do take the Nekoken incident at face value, though. (Although Nekoken is assumed to be the Great Cat transformation (Which it now kind of is.))
(Also, consider: Catgirl Ranma!)
Either way, "Anything Goes'" niche is, besides plagiarism, air combat, so Ranma isn't a complete sitting duck if he has time to catch up on powerscaling instead of being dropped into Cell/Buu as she is. Half the battles in Z to Super are in the air, anyways.

Oh gosh what if this Ranma gets to go back after? Nerima Ward is as good as space dust!

Unedited word vomit from my phone. Obvious wish-fulfilment and crack

Bakugo SI featuring:
Obligatory not being a dick to Izuku
Foreknowledge with no idea how to counteract the majority, so sticking mostly to rails, with some memeing, trolling and occasional consequence diminishing.
Abuse of foreknowledge on quirk awakening and improved relation with Midoriya to get stronger faster and earlier. Midoriya's ridiculous pain tolerance is reduced to merely immense due to running less on experience with common explosive tempers and more on sheer shonen protagonist determination. In trade, early training and increased faith in self.

Some memeing includes:
"Bro flooded his apartment block once from crying. That's a quirk." (Odd idiosyncrasy) not a quirk (super power), but at least Izuku's not boring. Unlike you background fillers.

In regards to not bullying Midori, "Why establish a pecking order if everyone knows I'm at the top? Why? Are you implying I'm trash?"

Constantly setting Midori up with girls, and gaslighting other people (like the asshole he is) into thinking Izuku's a sex god or something.
At first bro's confidence rating being tanked by a crippling lack of self worth, isn't helping, but Izuku still managed to show girls a good time anyways.
(Even when the date looks down on Izuku and decides they are only going along to mock him for being quirkless, Izuku has a secret weapon, "the Shounen-protag-rizz" and turns them around/on by the sun's descent.)
This has been happening monthly since at least the latter half of Middle School, but Bakugo seems to crave the chaos of spreading the rumour and idea of Izuku being some macho super-lover. Inko doesn't approve of Izuku leading girls on, but it's Bakugo setting it up, not him. She is happy that Izuku's reportedly a gentleman. Meanwhile, Bakugo's parents find it hilarious.
"Kacchan! Stop setting me up on dates!"
"Stop your dates from giving you stunning reviews, then! Oh hey Tsuyu, have you ever gone out? I know a guy you should give a try."
"Hm… that Mermaid Park Exhibit did have a couples free-pass…"
"Kacchan, why!?"
(Not pictured, Ochako and Mineta fuming for different reasons.)

"Stand proud, Toga. You're cute."

Quotes from the unfortunately multiple times he's forced to interact with Handyjob:
"Five points this, disintegrate on touch that, have you ever touched a woman before? You wouldn't even get in range to even attack one, smelling like unwashed crusty gamer."
(Insert fuming rant about All Might and overturning society and "Master" and other lamer topics Sikugo don't care about.) "Cute story, Crusty. Now block this overhead." *boots him in the face*
(On cheating when All Might yote the High End Nomu) "Cheating? You brought in a hacked unit and still couldn't beat someone who you had time to lay setplay for! At this point, it's just a Skill Issue!"
(Referring to Kurogiri) "I swear he interferes one more time, I'm going to have a Happy Birthday."*
"And if I bring Nomu here?"
"Save the Christmas present for December."
*(Only Izuku, Kaminari and Shigaraki got what he's talking about)
On the off chance SI is captured for canon Kamino: "You are League? I am Atomic." *Kabooms*

Accusing Aizawa of illogical actions, and reciting data of the after-effects of lying to and betraying the trust of your students over and over again, research specifically in protest to his practices.
Making a point for at least a term to score almost the highest in every class except his, blame his teaching practices, unless he ignores Aizawa in favour of self-study, where he does much better. (No respects given.)

Trying to leave/escape the Summer Training Camp, describing it as "a waste of time, I could do better training than this in my backyard or a quirk gym. Why are we here? Bait for the League?"
SI stands for spiteful and he makes big training strides in his quirk's capability specifically after he is tested for a distinct lack of improvement after the camp. (Probably a placebo effect, tbh, but boiling and freezing himself in rapid succession for days on end with nothing else? No thanks.)

At Provisional License Exams. Checks out Camie, trying to figure out if Toga's made the switch. Camie comes over, flirty, and Sikugo tries to deflect by saying she's pretty, but he has a GF she reminded him of. Catching the classes' attention. He says uhh… Toga, because there is no way Camie would be able to check with Toga. Except for the fact that the others, like Izuku and Momo, would be able to call him out, and there's a tense moment where he's relying on them to not snitch.
Except Toga breaks character, revealing herself. (she was Camie.)
Sikugo's traditional form of damage control is rolling with whatever until he can roll it into a farce, and faux-scolds Toga that she didn't need to impersonate a student to enter the Provisionals and she just could've come as herself.
A classmate of Camie's, the asshole meatball guy, demands the location of Camie. Sikugo bullshits, as usual, claiming Camie got jumped, checks with Toga that she's not dead and admonishes Toga for just not applying to attend the Provisionals independently.
Izuku, used to Sikugo's brand of bs and trained to roll with Bakugo's latest stunt to minimise the fallout, explains that the Provisionals are for those sponsored by Heroes or Hero Schools only.
Bakugo wonders how the hell someone like Mt Lady could be an official hero then, since she graduated from a agricultural school and did night classes.
There is a seperate, harder application exam, also where heroes renew their license which requires certifications and costs a chunk for non-licence holders to even apply.
The taxes for even owning the quirk license are only waived if you are part of a Hero Agency above a certain standard, like not consisting of only one hero and having a record of accomplishments. (Hero schools count as agencies.)
Damn. No wonder Mount Lady's always looking for cash to at least float. Since the application exam is over the holidays, he'll attend that, so implores Toga to just switch back with Camie and take his place instead, since Toga already knows how his body works. (She has turned into him before.) This gets misconstrued by most of everyone who doesn't know. (Seggs.)
Toga, put in an awkward spot and seeing the hook Bakugo left, just says she'll be going now to presumably attend the application. Bakugo reinforces her supposed relative innocence by saying has this seriously been the only time an impulsive aspirant snuck into the Provisional exam?
Apparently yes, according to Izuku, but not the first time for an Application exam, which is basically the same thing. Bakugo points out that this totally could have been him or Izuku pulling this stunt, who corrects him that it would've been the Application exam instead of Provisional. Unless it was to net autographs from up and coming heroes instead of established ones renewing their licence.
Bakugo escorts Toga out and he decides to be cheeky and ask Izuku to go get Camie. (Ochako comes with.) Izuku and Ochaco go get Camie and end up also getting an eyeful.
Meanwhile, Sikugo convinces Toga to attend the Application for real, as a date and prank. Justify it to Shigaraki as having an ear in the actual hero network instead of just a school is better information networking. Bakugo also claims that if he wanted to, he could totally super-villain better than Tomura can, and that's one of the reasons why he didn't join up, the other being that being a hero is harder. Insert full-villain monologue about the hero system being shit, a la green goblin. Then explain that it's a perfect challenge for him. He will proverbially break the Hero system over his knee like a speed runner masters and then breaks a game to prove their mastery and superiority, and she go and tell Shigaraki that.
Toga reveals part of the infiltration was being wire tapped. Oops. Good thing that was all words SI was willing to let Shig hear. Now for stuff he's a bit more iffy about.
Shigaraki, stop the wiretap before you hear some very NSFW noises. Start making out with Toga until the fritzing, tell tale signs of the wiretap being disintegrated on the other end. Aww, wanted to mess with him more. Blasts wiretap while playing with stunned Himiko's hair.
Izuku and Ochako walk in and admit they've been there since you decided to start getting handsy to mess with handsy.
They ask what Himiko was actually doing, getting blood. SI asks why not get the blood from donor banks like Vlad king or other blood quirks. Stunned Himiko lore drops because Bakugo. They decide to enable Bakugo's plan: buy some blood bags when they head out as a group for groceries, and dead drop/hand off to Toga.
Later, Izuku grills SI over the decisions taken, most of which fall under, "it was funny."
Izuku and Ochako conspire to tell Aizawa* about the Toga home life, with the intent to improve and turn her around… after the blood bags are handed over, of course. They know Bakugo ain't trusting anyone else with this.
*(It does not go well. SIkugo would naturally be a gate sink for Aizawa for supposedly "not taking hero work 'logically' or seriously," and this turns into yet another Aizawa-bashfic.)
So, they apply properly for blood bags for those with blood quirks with Bakugo's savings and pocket money from modeling for his mom. Also, finding a semi-legitimate business model in this economy that skirts the rules without breaking them to raise money is hard but not impossible for 3+ pissed off students and a Himiko Toga with an equally large chip on her shoulder. Helps when someone has a support group (Izuku, his parents, his friends, his classmates, SI's parents, girls he's dated...)
SIkugo's latest brand of bullshit is opening a mock agency, a third year assessment project, but then hiring and acquiring the proper people and licenses to make it legitimate.
Online courses and reading ahead for Agency management causes slips in class, but with some help, persevere.
Bomb-Shell Company/Phoenix Ash Agency, "Out-doing the Evil-doers. (Except Lawyers)"
Early third-year elective assessment turned real. Raid/Audited because Aizawa suspicion, only possible accusation found is seemingly lax hiring practices, but even the work is legit. Agency purpose is about subsidising others work like the other mock project agencies, the legit licenses are just giving it a little stability that it won't close when Bakugo graduates or is expelled; he'll just intern here. The hiring outside school is also intentionally allowed in the assignment (by the letter), and Bakugo does run and write background checks, including backstories, documentation, criminal records and notes. Falsification is not apparent, and the notes on even the crimes and levels of regret, plus notes for keeping them on the straight and narrow are there. Quirk analysis from an independent contractor, actually in school, as intended, but not part of business course, not intended but legal. It's Izuku but his portfolio (notebooks) proves he's more than a nepo-hire. At least the Hatsume hire for equipment makes sense and is intended in the spirit of the assessment.
Some people having a chance to go straight, or at least be publicly sanctioned nuisances like other heroes, like Gentle Criminal and La Brava. Streams are 'PR stunts,' villains that happen to be in the just means "ruined streams," and people are getting help. Also, Ochaco breaks Twice's hand. It's therapy. People in the building but not actually in the Hero Agency does vtubing (nearly auto-corrupted to bribing on mobile) or something to keep the lights on.
Shell company also doubles as a base/platform in the case of Izuku's runaway arc.

SI Bakugo's moveset changes: remember the Gogeta Soul Punisher? That's a mix of cluster and throwing/shaking sweat off the hand before ignition. (But without the karma judgment, or SIkugo would blow himself up.)
Pre-knowledge of canon Bakugo's Quirk Awakening means early access to blasts from anywhere on the body, which opens up abilities such as:
Backblast, an explosive wave that covers blind spots and repositions self,
Rocket Engine, explosive flight from the torso as well as the arms and legs, specifically a formation for a linear charge,
Breacher, an exploding sidekick,
Deluger Missile, using explosions across the whole arm to launch a sort of fireball for a more flexible/spammable long-ranged option than AP-shot.
And Atomic. A last ditch full body blast done in the heat of the moment as a meme.

Just a repost from a dead thread a while ago. Someone made a SFW Pokémon ideas thread and I posted this idea there because it wasn't inherently porn.

Put into a quote for formatting reasons auto mods plz don't ban

Hoopa likes to randomly teleport people as a prank, right? Idk this is based on that:
Hoopa is a mass murderer. He warps people whenever he is bored, which is often, and most people aren't protagonists, so 80% of the people he warps, dies, and half of those deaths are immediately and from fall damage.

None of the Governments/Leagues can do anything, because what are they gonna do? Capture him? They'll get dropped in a volcano or Tyranitar nest before they can try.

Celebi is run ragged trying to clean up after or retcon the messes Hoopa leaves everywhere. Celebi is the Legendary Janitor. I feel bad for 'er.

Spoiler: As an extra to this idea:

Sometimes, Arceus tells Celebi to not save a dude, because they are truly evil or too dangerous or something. In these rare cases, Hoopa is an unwitting off-screen assassin, and Arceus gets his hooves dirty to keep the Pokémon World 'clean.'
The reason guys like Cyrus had to be stopped by a main character, however, is because half the time Arceus can't really control Hoopa, especially when he's not listening.

A fic that uses this idea will either lean heavily into Grimdark/Grimderp (Worm) or an Anti-Mythical Pokémon bashing fic, depending on how the other mythicals stand compared to this Hoopa.

So, college assessments drained my will to write a big project, strangling the You, Me and RNG project in its crib. (which sucks because it was kind of fulfilling)

So, until Semester's over/I get my groove again, back to small pieces and scattered ideas.

There was this one where an SI/jumper in Miraculous Ladybug/Quantic Paris decides to create Rider Belts to battle the akumas, under the idea that if we can fight back in a way that doesn't need Ladybug and Chat Noir, they will not need to appear at every single fight, even in the middle of the night or two in a row. Meaning that they can actually be well rested for the fights where they are necessary (like Syren or similar) and the fights where they won't show are automatically a failure for Papillopenis' goals, because there's a zero chance of getting lucky or wearing them down enough to attain a Miraculous if the Miraculous aren't there to be worn down in the first place.

The first "field test" involves SI thanking Ladybug and Chat Noir for their back breaking work, and to request they take a vacation for once and let the people of Paris pick up the slack in the meantime. Besides some fights that get out of hand or run for too long, Ladybug barely needs to summon a Miraculous Cure, nevermind participating.
A running gag for a bit is after every akuma "Kamen Rider GAMBLE" defeats and traps the akuma to give to Ladybug for easy purification, Gamble asks if they got a good night's sleep or not, clearly trying to figure out if the plan is working. Considering they are showing up out of habit anyway, it's currently a no. Gamble decides to expand operations.

After a not very subtle survey on preferred hero names, colors and similar, alongside how many akumas do they (supposedly) get caught up in, Marinette and Adrien are picked to be first (they constantly get caught up in the Akumas, and have a track record of not being akumatised.)
Adrien jumps at the chance, but admits that the likelihood of his father interfering is high. Marinette doesn't want to, even saying she's bad with hero names.

Of course, being caught in a position where you can't hide and transform is the perfect time to have belts thrown at you. Presenting: Kamen Rider DESTIN and MIRACLE ("Wait, why Miracle?" immediate "you are a miracle" from Adrien. Freaking out over something small instead of the monster of the week is a Kamen Rider classic.)

Pass a belt to a "night guard" as well maybe? Also, the belts have a special power function that gives the user one more minute after use before enforced deactivation, compared to the jewels' five. (This was increased from five seconds.)
Anyway, even with Ladybug and Chat Noir safely able to rest and "miss" fights, apparently they're not getting sleep out of habit? Which to the public points to PTSD and not just being at a fight in different forms. At least it's getting harder for Hawkmoth to lure out Ladybug and Chat Noir.

After a dark Rider arc, (which may or may not involve Chloe getting her hands on a driver and promptly akumatised) a new armor lock feature that shuts down or freezes its wearer in the event of Butterfly or Peacock interference introduced.

Good timing as Butterflyman corners the riders in person to remove them from the equation, akumuatising Gamble. It doesn't work as expected, but the spare belt is taken and given to his agent.

It's kind of obvious when a Dark Rider FATUUS appears to interfere with "Riders interfering with Miraculous matters." Lila is promptly told to "shut up, idiot." It's pretty obvious that Gamble set up a contingency and preset labels for certain potential thieves. (After the Chloe incident.)

Regardless, it's time to get an upgrade, experience with magic leads to the development of "jewel drivers" add-ons, to install extra abilities similar to Heisei and Reiwa era drivers, as well as a stealth mode like the actual miraculous.

Jewel drives come in two types, minor elemental variants, similar to power-up potions in effect, and major, which try to replicate a fraction of the Miraculous.
Creation: Summon a pref. weapon. Finisher: Black Spots, a blindingly bright attack that can purify akumas and amoks when the target object is hit, and also causes a pseudo Miracle Cure for all connected victims of brainwashing or transformation.
Destruction: Enhances combat senses and shadow claws that shred resistances and shields. Finisher: Purrge, a single strike that purges Akumas of evil, and forcibly excise an akuma from a victim or vice versa by directly severing the Transmission bond.
Subjugation: the ability to anchor/pin a target in place, but a hand needs to be in a clutching position to hold it. Finisher: Paralyzing Sting, throws a lance-sized "needle" that pins the target for longer without external input required. Can also pin butterflies and feathers, and it's an energy spear that can selectively break objects too.
Migration: Blink powers. Finisher: Grand Tour, net/chain of portals, to either warp a mass of people or items, or a series of rider kicks/attacks.
Protection: Creates shield around forelimbs and a barrier around self when blocking or taking an attack for someone. Finisher: Shell Shockwave, energy stored from barriers taking attacks fuel an explosion.
Perfection: While the rider can't transform into Water, Wind or Lightning, they can shoot it out and control it. Finisher: Perfect Storm, uses all three elements at once. Whether it's a Giant sword crash, tri-beam, twister, spiraling sphere, element wreathed surge or force field of twisting elements, is up to the preference of the user.
Elation: Strikes have electric-explosive effects. Finisher: Rider Pounce, basically your Rider Punch/Kick/whatever but the effects on hit are so intense it seems to bend reality. (As a visual effect, in reality it's a pure Kamen Rider Finish, exploding villain and all.)
The fusion driver add-on is basically Season 4 jewel driver Unification. Turning the belts into basically Kamen Rider Build drivers.

…Yeah, that's about all I got. Maybe it's a little cringe.

These Eyes Must See The Truth

Sasuke raids His (Itachi's) drawers, finding spare weapons and clothes to supplant his own. In his rustling, Sasuke accidentally plunges his hand through a false bottom. After shaking his hand out, Sasuke goes through His drawers again, with even more determination, finding scrolls with seals and markers.

He finds a scroll with details on Mangekyo, its requirements, and its many abilities.
According to the scribbled notes, Itachi was investigating Shisui's death and came across this.
Reality warping and teleportation. Memory wiping and unbreakable illusions…
And His disposition was such a radical shift from the brother he knew. His advice was way out of line from the advice he gave when he poked Sasuke on the forehead when he was little.
Did Itachi actually slaughter his wife, friends and family, or was he framed?
…Was Itachi mind-controlled?

Shaken, he looks at himself with the mirror hung next to Itachi's pictures. His skin was pale, his face sunken and sick, hyperventilating. His eyes are teary, and his irises are red, with black dots.

Sasuke finds a clue, checks with the Kazama, (the new clan who run the police force,) for the files on dead bodies, confirm that eyes have been unaccounted for. Probably harvested.
Returning home to check some evidence, a ROOT agent is found dead on a trap in Itachi's room that he somehow missed, facial markings indicate Inuzuka.
Get Kiba and his mom (who sends Kiba's sister instead) to investigate the body. Which mysteriously vanished in the time gone, although the lingering smell of blood supports Sasuke's theory.

Grovel (audible shudder from Sasuke) before Naruto for help. Because Naruto, while sometimes a jerk, is actually good at peopleing, understands how big this is with less than the first sentence of Sasuke's sob story and accepts.
They waltz up to the Hokage, as Naruto does, and ask about the missing eyes. Also, Naruto complains about "creepy blank masked stalkers."
The Hokage, angry, promises to take a look. Check again after a couple days of no progress, evidence of mind control.
Ask again with the entire team after a mission debrief, to an uncharacteristic furious refusal, and also, Hokage refuses to join Naruto for ramen. He insists Itachi killed the Uchiha of his own free will. Something is seriously wrong, and that disturbs Naruto.
In his place, Sasuke spots Naruto's ramen for the trouble. Naruto is initially abrasive because Sasuke says just as planned: Komatatsuki has been burned, and we have a name to track down. We have at least a month, if not 10 years, to nail Danzo to the wall.

Sasuke realizes that direct Komatatsuki may not be the only source of coercion, if Danzo wanted to conserve his usage, Sasuke may have been threatened directly. But thanks to Kakashi, Sasuke puts together that the reason he lives is also the reason his family died. That's a Mangekyo moment. And due to emotional stress of the events so far accelerating his Sharingan growth beforehand, this opens up Sasuke's Mangekyo.
Meanwhile, Sakura asks her parents, and they warn her about ROOT. She reports back her findings and library research (no cleaned the history section) to Team 7.
Once again, they check with the Inuzuka about the missing body's identity and pre-kidnap history, and they ask around all the clans for ROOT, acquiring damning testimony from the Aburame.

Proof that Danzo mind-controlled the Hokage is also taken seriously, bring it up in next clan meeting, warn about bs Danzo may pull. Shikaku makes a plan. Sasuke interrogates the Kazama about the missing files in the evidence locker (not the evidence supplied to clans, but the ones from the coroner.) Forcibly, using Mangekyou-boosted illusions.
He tracks down his Father's eyes, and everyone else taking notes/pictures of proof of Danzo f'ery. Sasuke uses his father's Mangekyo for the Eternal Mangekyo.

Culminates in a big fight where Hiruzen is shocked at the lengths Danzo went, and constant killshots and Amaterasu wear down Danzo's Izanagi and Komatastuki capability.
He pulls out the Reverse Sealing to take everyone out when Naruto barges in with the sick ass Uzumaki mass-substitution save, and then proceeds to go ham with the Nine-Tails, forcing Danzo to unleash his Wood style, which gets Amaterasu'd.
His last life's Reverse Sealing of Spite/Izanagi gets negated by Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo.
"My father, while he never got to use it, said his eyes could hold down the Nine-tails. You are not a god, you are but a man. Not even close to that scale!"
Shisui's eye was burned out of Danzo's skull on the way out.
Danzo is defeated/dead. Hiruzen's Danzo-addled head decides to perform damage control by declaring the incident a S-class secret, a la Naruto's status, with only Sasuke getting to pass it on.
He is so compromised that we need a new Hokage anyway. At least he can retire.
In the meantime, Sasuke has an announcement to make:
The truth. Because the ears of Konoha must hear the truth. Even if they don't like it.

Anyway, the current sentiment is that Itachi was more or less framed for the benefit of Danzo, who slaughtered our most prestigious clan for personal power. And also a whole lot of treason. The Hyuga are understandably the most horrified.
If he wasn't in Akatsuki, Itachi would be welcomed back. Too bad he's in (deep cover within) a terrorist cell.
Kisame's laughing. Itachi is so freaking confused at all this and he's laughing!
Oddly, Sound is being less aggressive towards Fire country, though still a general nuisance.
And Akatsuki has a schism within a schism, as Pain and Konan want to shift tracks from mercenary to deep-investigation/detective work and Tobi wonders if he was mind-controlled, too.
