Okay, time to get caught up. Again. 27 -Umbra continues to be a certified bitch™, as usual. -Very wise of these "explorers" to keep mentioning their lack of need for Haru and Nip. Definitely not motivating them to try and find a way out of the situation. -Y'know, the prose made it sound like...

Merry blitzmas! Disclaimer: My blitz reviews are stream of consciousness styled rambles. Let me know if you have any questions. 1-6 (I feel like I'm shorthanding Ace Attorney case numbers here) -Do people even still have lawn flamingos in this day and age? -I'm willing to bet that, even with...

Merry blitzmas! Disclaimer: My blitz reviews are stream of consciousness styled rambles. Let me know if you have any questions. 1 -So we're going with song lyric chapter titles, eh? -Normally I'm not a big fan of jumping heads without scene breaks in third-person limited (which it seems like...

Chapter 103: Under the Influencer "So, um, I went over to Aeon Town. Like you asked." Hydreigon looked up from his half-eaten, oversized bowl of stew. The latias lying on a cushion across from him nervously fidgeted with her claws. "Oh, you did? Wow, that was fast!" Hydreigon spoke through...

Hello, it is I, Amby. Here as per usual with my smattering of PMD fic recs for a crowd that's not always into PMD. :copyka: This Blitz, in particular, I want to give a special shoutout to @Namohysip's PMD: Hands of Creation. I have previously rec'd it and folks can read my reasoning here. Why...

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Path of Valor Synopsis: When a dreepy princess, two classmates, and their servants are sucked into an alien world ruled by a tyrannical deoxys, they kickstart a disastrous chain of events stretching further than they can possibly imagine. Can they unravel the mysteries...

Chapter 102: Blightsmuth or Bust "Okay, be honest. What do you think?" After a solid two weeks of some very strange changes — getting her tails shaved and dyed with her hair to resemble a fire vulpix, stitching together weird tubes for her hind legs, and gathering thorns from nearby mystery...

As usual, I don't make concrete plans because I don't want to promise anyone anything. Especially if life chooses to get in the way please god i'm begging you can i test negative for covid i need to get my infusion next month please make it go away. And, as per usual, I will have minimal...

Chapter 101: Personal Space Noctum floated on his back in the sparkling water. Emotion kept the lake — the humans called it Verity — around their home as pristine as anything Noctum had seen. The sun's reflection glistened all around him. Even the shabby magikarp keeping their distance...

And with this, Totally Not Those Who Slither in the Dark finally have a name. I can see some of the parallels. Particularly if they're behind the current state of who's in power in Selenia. Setting someone up to try and conquer the continent certainly sounds familiar. And the ending scene does...

Chapter 100: Positively Adamant While Spacial Rend was relatively easy for me to describe in manuscript form, Dialga's Roar of Time is much more... esoteric. Hisuian records suggest a large beam of energy, but that sounds no different from your average Dragon Pulse. Even descriptions from the...

Chapter 99: Soulful Lament "Do you ever think about him at all?" Tessa dabbed her muzzle with a cloth napkin, then set it next to her empty plate. Next to her, Nickie's left ear flattened. "Think about who, Nero? Just because I complimented his thighs doesn't mean—" "No, silly." The riolu...

Chapter 98: Great Personal Cost The first few weeks after Tessa passed were... not all that different, honestly. Making her a spirit gave her back some of the energy that had waned the last few years. And, well, we knew this was coming. We'd prepared for it. In some ways, things haven't...

Chapters 7 and 8. Seems like some standard "hero meets the partner, they decide to form an exploration team" type of stuff going on here. There's even the introduction of a possible rival character or Team Meanies/Skull-esque annoying thorn in the protags' side in the form of Alice. Or someone...

Chapter 97: Fiery Vortex I want to leave a record of this somewhere. Yes, POV-2020 is under quarantine, and no one's supposed to be interacting with it. But every time I pass it by I sense something distinctly off. I've probed that universe as best as I could without disturbing the seal. And I...

Chapter 96: Red Lupus Simple code alone isn't going to be enough to mediate Dreamweaver and Zodiark. I thought a program could work against them, but they both seemed to adapt to my first few builds. What manner of construct are they? Could they be artificial intelligences? AI is mostly...

Chapter 95: Samay Khatam Something's wrong. I've been detecting this... increasing resonance between Dreamweaver and Zodiark. I thought at first it was merely the interplay between the former's power and the latter's knowledge. But a more recent analysis suggests this resonance is far more...

Okay, so. You want to know if things are coherent, yes? For the most part... I think so. There are strange dungeon issues with apparitions in both the prologue and chapter two. And during one dungeon going particularly haywire, a meowstic is seemingly killed, leaving their espurr child to get...

Aww, shucks. Thanks! :quag:

I think it ultimately comes down to the kind of PMD story you want to tell. The lack of names in Guiding Light was deliberate since A) it was a sort of AU to the main line games, and B) it was meant to foreshadow the fact that the partner had an ex-human parent. Many of the characters starting...
