Guys.. BE VERY CAREFUL of bots now. the Bots which try to scam you into thinking they're artists who want to make your story into a comic or publissh it are now much more advanced in 2026. They now have ai scraping tools that allow them to read portions of and process your chapter.. meaning they can leave comments that actually comment ON your story like they read it.    Whatever you do.. don't take business opportunities offered by fans you don't know in person, and also take note.. I just got a bot but there were telltale signs such as they only just joined on the 18th, only just followed me like a few hours ago.. and yet they were already on chapter 3 of book 2 of City of Sin..  and of course the generic ai names.   be weary, the ai scams are getting smarter and more depraved.

          	  At this point, I've realized I don't even want any of my stories to be made into comics. Like, none of them are finished, and I want to finish them before ever even thinking of comics, and even then I'd only do so if they're by people I know personally

@Misaka_Omnitrix thanks for another heads up.
          	  
          	  This kind of use of AI should be illegal.

          Olivia immediately after seeing this:
          
          Olivia: “Green Eyes we’re going to the Pet store!”
          
          Ben: “Why?”
          
          Olivia: “Cuz I wanna buy a whole flock of parrots and teach em ma favorite slurs!”
          
          Ben: “Liv, are you sure that’s a good idea?  Remember how pissed CaD was after the Cheese incident.”
          
          Olivia: “Oh yeah, they still trying to fumigate his office by the way?”
          
          Ben: “Unfortunately a few of the rats mutated into EVOs and started breeding it’s why we haven’t been in the office for weeks.  I think that’s the first time Sasha has considered intentionally strangling us.”
          
          Olivia: “Look that was on me but this time it’ll be different, we’re gonna release the parrots at Scion Corp’s tower.  It’s gonna piss them right fuckin’ off.”

Okay is it me or am I the only one who’s imagining teenage Olivia as a somehow more unhinged Brock Samson?

@Ghostwolf2022 when they finally get to Mayfield.
            
            Guard: "I'm sorry, Miss, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to confiscate your weapon."
            
            Teen Oliva: "The f@ck you say?"
            
            Guard: "Miss, please. Your weapon well be returned to you after you've gone through the proper regulations-"
            
            She then grabs the guard by the neck and rams him into a wall, pointing her sword at him.
            
            Teen Olivia: "Just try to take my swordie from me, you f@cker. I dare you, I F@CKING DARE YOU!!!"

          After seeing this Francesca character having a past iteration of herself for her servant in Fate strange fake, it's got me wondering something. If someone traveled to a universe where they've been dead for centuries, could they summon themself as a servant?
          
          Like let's say Vilgax went to Olphelia's world, cut off a peice of his own flesh, and used it as a catalyst. Would he summon the version of himself that was killed by Olphelia as his servant? 
          
          Because honestly? Wtih his Ego, Vilgax would never want an earthling heroic spirit for a servant, he much rather have another version of himself for a role like that.

@JulianSummers777 I am suddenly reminded of this one short from Villainous.

So an interesting idea for Dark Apocalypse for when we see more aliens come into the story is that we can’t always understand them.  Since the Pumbers are now effectively defunct most of their tech is either broken or rare.  Namely Plumber badges which come equipped with universal translators.  So some aliens could appear speaking their native language.  With Ben most often having to act as a translator since the Omnitrix has a universal translator built into it.  As for aliens we’ve already met, Azmuth is a genius who is considered the smartest guy in five galaxies so learning a new language or two isn’t an issue for him it’s likely a pastime, as for Rook he’s been on Earth long enough to have a functional grasp on English although some words in the English language don’t have an equivalent in Rook’s native language which could explain some of his stiff delivery, and Ben’s aliens all speak English because that’s the same language Ben speaks however a setting in the Omnitrix could likely change it to where Ben can speak that alien’s spoken language.  And while some alien languages likely have some similar building blocks as human languages with similar enough characters others can be wildly different, for instance Petropians likely communicate natively through a form of melodic resonance with their written language being more akin to hieroglyphics,

Ghostwolf2022

Some particularly interesting alien languages are of course Petropian which isn’t a language in the traditional sense as it isn’t necessarily spoken it’s sung, Vulpamancers while seemingly being mindless animals at first glance are in fact just as intelligent as early humans with them primarily communicating with each other through grunts, growls, howls, and even what appears to be sign language with their written language being primitive but interesting as rather than writing down words or carving out hieroglyphs Vulpamancers communicate through painting with them being able to pick up on what these paintings mean via the smell of the paint but to most species Vulpamancer paintings are abstract and difficult to translate if you don’t know exactly what each paint means and represents also you usually an enhanced sense of smell to fully understand it, then there are Tetramands whose is surprisingly familiar in that it would sound nearly identical to the Klingon language from Star Trek albeit slightly different and it is not wise to speak Klingon to a Tetramand as many would find it racist so of course Olivia would speak exclusively in Klingon if she ever met Looma, Appolexians meanwhile have a relatively comprehensive spoken language but Appoplexians don’t really speak with their words.

So here’s a random dark thought I had about Shock Beat, she likely developed her audiophile tendencies due to a coping mechanism she developed at a younger age.  Namely using the music to cancel out the sound of her targets screaming in terror as she turned them into burnt toast.  But overtime she came to genuinely enjoy music past it just being a way for her to tune out and compartmentalize the trauma she suffered being taught and forced to kill at such an early age.

Misaka_Omnitrix

@Ghostwolf2022  her music is actually just how she tunes out her own suffering. Just like Olivia, the operations and training used to make her were excruciatingly painful and she was tortured near daily until she was operational, and after that she was trained by Priscilla like most Sister Models Post-5.   Music was her way of dissociating.  every Weapon Sister has a dissociation tactic.  for Priscilla it was a form of intense Stockholm Syndrom as well as  her Sadistic love of causing pain.. as well as her evolving her originally not-combat oriented abilities out of fury and trauma . For Alicia, Weapon Sister 1, it was caring for her other sisters and finding a way to use nurturing others to keep her sanity and humanity.  For Olivia it was watching and learning from Alicia, and then a combination of other reasons.. now Ben is her coping mechanism. He's like her security blanket, and if wasn't for Ben buying her a stuffed unicorn, she'd have to hug him every night to get to sleep.  For Elenor, pure control and authority is her cope.  Being the student body president, holding the authority over who lives and dies during the cullings that happen in the school allows her to dissociate.  Beat and Liv are some of the few who arguably found healthier ways to cope.. because Music is beautiful and results in helping the mind grow and Ben is a good person who is a good influence on Olivia, showing her what it means to be a person who helps others as well as a semblence of being a normal person.

Olivia gives Scion goons a break:
          
          Olivia: *psychotic laughter* “Hold on I gotta take a whizz, anyone else need to take a whizz break?!”
          
          Scion soldier: “Hold on we can do that you were just trying to murder us a moment ago.”
          
          Olivia: “Yeah and when you die you piss and shit yourself and I don’t want that on me.  How about you sniper who’s out of ammo!?”
          
          The distinct sound of a gun clicking signaling it’s out of ammo can be heard.
          
          Scion Sniper: “How did you even know?!”
          
          Olivia: “I learned how to count bullets before I could count numbers now do you want a whizz break?”
          
          The sniper sighs in defeat.
          
          Scion Sniper: “Yeah…”
          
          Olivia: “Great we’ll pick this up in ten minutes.”
          
          Scion soldier: “Can we pick it up in twenty actually I’m passing a kidney stone.”
          
          Olivia has a disgusted look on her face.
          
          Olivia: “Just for that I’m gonna let you leave…”
