My brain has kind of... fizzled out for no reason so I don't think I'll be coming to the stream, sorry :/
You know, it occurs to me... Spoiler: Spoilers for Nanoha Episode 11 The stuff about Project Fate and the artificial mage projects would make a good basis for transplanting Homestuck stuff over. I mean, cloning someone and giving them vastly increased magical abilities, shady research...
Spoiler I've occasionally thought about the Nanoha cast playing SBURB for one reason: Raising Heart ExZillyon. Alternatively, the beta kids cosplaying the Wolkenritter. We've got a hammer wielder, a sword wielder, a caster, and a dog. The trolls get to be the Numbers.
incidentally, anyone who is distressed over Precia - if it helps, there is a (super indulgent, ridiculous, wonderful, desperately in need of adaptation) AU manga where everyone is alive and nothing hurts. Precia in particular is a ridiculously doting, almost overprotective, mother. And she might be married to the spaceship captain lady. It does have spoilers for late season 2, though. And the latest chapters have spoilers for the end of the third season...
INNOCENT is so very wonderful. INNOCENTS is also starting out super great (and by great I mean gay). In fanfic realm, there's Game Theory by Immatrael, where Precia is still an amoral sociopath but realizes that she achieves more with the carrot rather than the stick. I'm not sure this is really better overall. But Momoko plays a decently large role too, which is cool. Moms all around.
Mm. I fell behind partway through the second one, since I was reading while it updated. Certainly it's more consistent and the world building is more detailed. My hope for InnocentS is that we see what Cinque's fighting style actually is. She's honestly one of my favorite underused characters - tiny one-eyed cyborg who fights with EXPLODING KNIVES. But she only gets one real fight, and that one... Oh, Innocent is also fun because it has the one version of Nanoha who learned some of the Fuwa style sword fighting. I had a vague idea for a Nanoha AU where her first idea of combat was melee sword-based because she'd been trained in that by her family, but it never really went anywhere... I still kind of wish it showed up more in canon, some of the stuff in Triangle Hearts was ridiculous. I'm pretty sure at one point Kyouya throws a knife at someone, then jumps forward and hits them either before or during when the knife lands. Then there's the 'can outrun bullets even if they start standing still' thing... And the 'Miyuki is Daredevil' stuff... I also want fanfic where Miyuki and Kyouya are freelance types who team up with like, Captain America or whatever to catch supercriminals.
In A Numbered Existence by NGTM-R, which is a series of Numbers-centric, post StrikerS pieces, Cinque definitely gets a crowning moment of awesome, based on the fact that the explosion of Rumble Detonator is not a feature of the knives but a feature of what Cinque is touching at the time. Miyuki gets some good screentime in the Nanoha/Sailor Moon crossover White Devil of the Moon, by bissek, in which instead of Usagi, the reincarnation of Princess Serenity ends up being Nanoha.
Yeah I remember that second one. I didn't like the ending, though I don't really remember why. I think deus ex machina probably? And looking back I think it was kind of mean to the Sailor verse characters.
Oh, and Infinity by Moczo is great. It takes place after season 2 and contains spoilers for season 3 though. It's very funny, the action scenes are great, there are some fantastic plot twists... I need to catch up on it. There's also a... sequel??? Called Fate and the Mysterious Murder, in which Fate, one of the strikers characters, and an OC from Infinity have a murder mystery. It is also very funny, though the full title contains spoilers for the second season end.
Yeah, the ending of White Devil of the Moon was kind of eh. Infinity is pretty great though, and finished, so feel free to binge the rest of it. And the sequel is so great. So great.
Also wasn't it anything METAL she was touching? Like with a block of wood or concrete she would be out of luck.
Spoiler: StrikerS Yup, she can make anything metal explode. But lots of things are made of metal. Spoiler: Numbered Existence She's fighting in a metal building at the time and as a last resort smacks her hand against the wall and activates her IS. It's totally justified.
Hah, nice. I always felt bad that Spoiler: Post-StrikerS After StrikerS, the Nakajima-adopted cyborgs were supposed to have formed their own mini-unit, N2R, but then they never got expanded on. Come on, reformed cyborg sisters fighting crime? That's SO AWESOME.
I really liked what NGTM-R did with them. Spoiler They go up against the Huckbein, since they aren't disabled by the AMF
Oh, they don't play a big role, except to explain why the Numbers are combat cyborgs rather than artificial mages. Most of the fic is spent up against Spoiler duplicate Wolkenritter amd a revived Belkan empire
Nanoha stream in 40 minutes! Last two episodes of original series, then onto A's! People who have seen it before, keep in mind that some of the others have not!
Spoiler: StrikerS spoilers Assuming all of N2R modified their equipment into standard Devices, I wonder what the modes would be. Nove has canon (basically the same as the Calibers) and I think Wendi wouldn't have much changed (though I think she'd probably also start using magical grenades/flashbacks, and expand her shooting magic.) I think Dieci would probably specialize further in firearms - cannon mode, sniper rifle mode, and maybe a handgun mode for emergencies. Though I also think that she'd start learning healing magic? It seems like something she'd do. And for Cinque - hm. Normal knifespam is her goto, but maybe something like signum's snake form or Red Hawk, a knife on a chain she can direct? Or some kind of melee version, a sword or a spear or a long knife or something. Ooh I found pictures from one of the CD stories. Spoiler: A's and Gears of Destiny Spoilers Translation (nice how, being 2 years older, Stern and Levi and Dearche are bigger than their counterparts. Yuri is still smol though. And god Dearche that outfit.) c Translation
New InnocentS! Spoiler: chapter 7 reactions Ooh, nice color. We have Doc in the background lookin all anime, Nove and Wendi being CUTE, older-Hayate with slightly longer hair... Materials, who. Well they were supposed to be middle-schoolers, right? So I guess they could look this much older. Though it doesn't look like they've had costume redesigns, really, so boo. And thre are Vivio and Einhart! We knew they'd show up eventually, though. ...OK so there's some differences. Not sure I like the weird three-d effect on Stern's skirt, or the boob-support metal pieces, though. What I wouldn't give for the designers to learn how boobs work... Cinque! Alicia! CINQUE AND ALICIA HUGGING Well I guess they are both abnormally short elder sisters... NAKAJIMA FAMILY TRIP TO THE LABS - though, weren't Nove and Wendi scouted by Due earlier? I AM SUSPICIOUS, YOU TWO ADORABLE MUNCHKINS. Heehee, Cinque likes the pirate theme. Oh, you two... 'liar' 'inverse' and 'mirage'. OK, Due's skill is Liar's Mask, but Mirage and Inverse aren't Inherent Skills that I recall. Mirage could be Quattro, but Inverse... Also, in the background there - that's Due, Tre, Quattro, Uno and someone else. Sette could probably be the littlest one. ...oh boy. Nove and Wendi gonna get BEFRIENDED. OH SHIT. though is that even really Nove and Wendi? Could be a virus of some kind that latched onto their entry, took them-ish forms, and is now running two NPCs that are gonna mess everything up, or something? Jail I take issue with your costume designs.
