I’m not really active on tumblr at all but I am unlikely to return to any of my blogs? I might reconsider for Astral at some point but it’s just so much easier to do things elsewhere.
My twitter and discord are:

I’m happy to rp on there. Please let me know who you are if you add me.
Characters I’m willing to RP (Old and new muses)

Professor Layton: Alfendi Layton Shin Megami Tensei: [Devil Summoner] Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th, Gouto Douji, Dahn Tsukigata, Yoshitsune Super Mario Odyssey: Pauline Undertale: WD Gaster Yu-Gi-Oh [ Duel Monsters, Zexal ] : Season 0 Yami Yuugi, Astral
◈┆ Yuuma couldn’t help but pout, slumping over to take the last bite of his almost completely melted sundae. Who would’ve thought Astral would’ve ever been lecturing him on the difference in video games. In fact, he was almost insulted! Like he didn’t know the game system he had back at home
But before he could counter Astral with a ‘well maybe I just won’t let you play my games’ retort, something clicked.
“—Wait a second, Astral! I think I know exactly what you’re talking about!”
“You wanna see if you can’t beat Tetsuo’s high score on the Knock ‘Em Dead Dragon Zombies machine, don’t’cha? ‘Cause if you do, then you shoulda just said so!” He’d totally finishing slurping down the rest of this sundae if it meant going to be that.
“ … You got me. ”
If Astral loved anything, it would have to be ‘a challenge’. Tetsuo sure loved to boast about holding that game’s high score, so maybe it was about time that someone knocked him off his horse, so to speak. How hard could it be?
“ All of his bragging got me curious. We must get our names on that leader board. ”
Ha, for a reason like that? Sounds about right. The image of Yuma that Astral’s painted in his mind is amusing, and he can’t help but smile a little at the thought. Regardless, it was- good, that Astral was free to move around as he wished, now. Strange, certainly, and it wasn’t like Yuma was a burden or anything like that, but… to have that freedom. It’s good, he thinks.
The smile fades from his face as Astral asks his question. It’s a fair question, but the answer is…
“…Well enough.” Ryoga says, and what else is he supposed to say? It’s complicated. The fact that he’s here at all is a miracle, and don’t get him wrong- he is happy. Happy to be alive, reunited with his family and friends once more, grateful that Astral gave him the chance to see thefuture that Yuma had made for them. But at the same time, he…
He looks away. “It’s been… busy.” It’s an obvious misdirection, though not really a lie - hopefully Astral will take it without further question. How could he have readjusted yet? He doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to at all, deep down, but- he’s trying. He is. With a shrug, Ryoga turns back, ready to move onto something else, but… Before he knows it, he’s blurting something out, as if he was unable to hold it in any longer
“Look, Astral- I wanted to thank you.”
‘Well enough’ was a fair answer, and about as much as he’d hoped for. Better than ‘not at all’, that was for certain. There were a few things that he’d have to have adapted toー after coming back to the mess that was then. More than Astral would understand, too. He’d heard about the same from another certain Barian. Shark didn’t have to worry about the same amount of backlash though, Vector’s actions sat on a whole other level.
“ Don’t. ” Astral interjected with a raise of his palm. “ I’m not the one you should be thanking. ”
He lowered his hand and rested in in folded arms.
“ I don’t need to remind you to ‘hang in there’, or say ‘don’t over do it’ like I do with Yuuma, but your sister might have something to say if she sees you pulling that kind of face. You need rest and peace of mind as much as anyone else. ”
☾ ghost girl } - She tilted her head with a covered smile. He really was unfamiliar with Vrains. Not that it was a problem - things were quiet. It wasn’t as if she didn’t have time to help a newbie out. She waved her hand up and down, shaking her head. “ Oh really, there’s no need for thanks. Anyone would do the same. ”
KB王 sounded so switched on and knowledgeable - yet technology seemed to escape him. Honestly, it was quite endearing… and so, she nodded in agreement.
“ I might take you up on that invitation. You’re interesting, ” she said with a light laugh. “ And, it’s been a while since I last scouted the streets - I might be able to help you spot some worthy competition. ”
“ Interesting? I could say the same for you. Nowー ”
The fastest way off the top of a building was to jump from it. Astral had never had any ‘weight’ to think about until now(?), but it shouldn’t make too big of an impact in relation to landing safely on the ground. Online, real life, he’d do the exact same thing. On his approach to the edge of the roof top, the astral calculated the best rate of acceleration and slow down for the drop, then looked over his shoulder to Ghost Girl.
Okay I’m going to commit to a back story change to match my astral. It’s been bothering me since the start. before i write it up i’ll put it here summed up in short points: this is a draft? im still trying to piece things together in my head and this is scenario 1 of 2(?) edit: im going to stick with this.
this blog’s astral is a manga canon astral and anime canon astral fusion.
they come from the same astral world
they were once one astral that required dividing in two to cover more ground
one was deployed to another dimension to remove e’rah as a threat and seal her away.
one stayed home to deal with the chaos e’rah had caused, aid in ranking up astral world and seal don thousand
manga astral ‘died’ as planned
manga astral’s ‘remains’ are used to help repair/revive anime astral after developing a ‘black spot’ of chaos.
manga astral’s spirit is dormant and hard to access. his memories and feelings bleed through to anime astral occasionally.
in completing himself and reuniting with all his numbers, astral is a balanced fusion of two halfs.
while in pieces, his knowledge, memories, attitude can sway either anime!astral or manga!astral way
post anime cliff hanger/new adventure ending is still in the wastebasket i dont want it
Important to note though, this doesn’t actually change any events that have already happened. Astral has a weird sense he cant place but he don’t know jack.
he hasn’t met his black mist yet in terms of interactions
he’s incredibly fusion compatible with numbers of other dimensions astral is a gd sponge

“A duel…what?” Skipping over the unintentional jab at his counterpart’s name, Yuugo couldn’t help but lightly tilt his head. “Unless you’re talkin’ about someone Yuuya knows from school, then I’m pretty sure someone like you’s ended up at the wrong place. Was this ‘Yuuma’ kid supposed to be hangin’ around here or something?”
“ Duel pad?D-pad? Commonly paired with a D-Gazer? For Dueling? ”
What kind of child didn’t know a D-pad was?
“ I have no idea where he should be, or where I need to be in order to find him. I haven’t been able to recognize anything or anyone since I began searching. I was hoping you’d know something, since you can see me. But I guess I was mistaken… ”
Yuya quickly connected the pieces and figured that must’ve been someone the other was looking, and for a second, he almost spoke up asking ‘which dimension’ he’d come from, too. This guy looked otherworldly enough for dimensional travel to not sound too far fetched to him.
“Maybe. Are they someone I’d know from around here? ‘Cause I’ve kinda seen a lot of people come and go and the name doesn’t sound familiar. But maybe I’ve seen ‘em around if you can describe them to me.” — ★ ★
〘 How to describe Yuuma… 〙
He was remarkable, hard to miss, but those descriptors matched this kid just as they matched his own, so that wouldn’t be very helpful. The most obvious features were his clothing ( Yuuma liked wearing a lot of the same thing. ) But there was no telling how much time had passed and if Yuuma was wearing anything Astral was familiar with.
“ … You both appear to be the same height. But his hair points back like thisー ” He said motioning sets of spikes . “ Dark tones with pink that goes up like thisー
” Astral continued making more definitive motions. “ He has more of a tan than you. I’ve seen him in a Heartland Academy uniform, but it’s hard to say if he still goes there. He owns a skate board, he dresses worse than you do… He’s friendly, like a dog. ”
“Very well student, be sure to surrender when you reach your limit.”
Light flowed from the tips of his fingers as he wrote upon the air. Following it was a flame-like radiance which he slung towards the astral being. He would have to make a judgement as to whether he could properly dodge this type of attack or if it was one that had to be faced head on. This was in part to test the dexterity of his student as there was more to magic than casting.
“𝓔𝓶𝓪𝓵𝓯 𝓓𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓪𝓼.”
“ Understood! ”
On guard and on the ready, Astral’s outer glow flared a vivid blue. As if a key had been turned, the state of his being changed and his latent energy burned with life.
One moment there, the next, side stepping out from the direct line of attack; Astral was fast. Not carrying a great deal of weight helped, but he had to be in order to have survived this long. He swiped an arm upwards in a move to focus his energies and return fireー
〘 くそっ 。〙
ー But couldn’t conjure anything. He created a translucent shield instead and charged forward.
…To be honest, Anna has no idea what Astral means. Numbers, Barians, the Astral World- all this conflict was going on right under her nose, and for so long she didn’t even know it. Compared to everyone else, it’s only natural that she wouldn’t understand, isn’t it?
But more than anything, what she does know… is how important this Astral was to Yuma. Astral is… one he’s called his partner, his friend, the most important person to him. Now- he’s finally here.
“Of course!” she exclaims, in response to Astral’s observation. “After- everything that happened, it’s natural, right?” she almost stumbles over the words, but she catches herself quickly, her expression becoming increasingly smug. “This is me we’re talking about, here!”
Obviously, it’s important to make a good impression, isn’t it? Besides, this a genuine, real life alien she’s talking too, here! How often do you get a chance like this!?
Pleased with herself, and at Astral’s small smile, Anna leans in closer. She looks him straight in the eye.
“But it’s good you came back, though.” she declares, almost slyly. “Yuma really missed you, y’know!”
“ Ha, that’s right… You are always full of energy. And it suits you. It’s difficult to imagine you without that spirit. ” She was a powerhouse. If she was down, then it wouldn’t have been for long. Anna was strong like that.
“ Yuuma did? Not too much I hope? Youー and all his friends have been here to keep him company. He shouldn’t have missed me that much. I have been looking forward to the day that I’d come back. Every day I was without him, was dull. There is no one like him back there. I should give you all my thanks; for taking care of Yuuma in my absence. But you would have done the same either way, I suspect. That’s what friends do. Even so, it means the world to me, to see that he is in good health. ”
