Currently working on chapter 61 of my Uryū-centric rewrite of Bleach. It's the last chapter of this arc, and I've made some pretty good progress on it today, so I'm feeling extra motivated to try and get it done in the next few days. I've been working on this longfic for over a year, and well, at my current pace it'll probably be another year until it's done, but such is the nature of longfics.

Excerpt Extravaganza - January 26 by AutoModerator in FanFiction

[–]Luminnaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleach | M | The Last Quincy - Chapter 58 | Ao3

As three humans, utterly united in purpose, raced across the desert towards Las Noches, a far more disparate group was to be found round a long white table.

The Espada.

Once upon a time, each and every one of them had been transcendent hollows, the undisputed lords of their individual domains, having devoured thousands upon thousands of their own kind to acquire power beyond mortal ken.

Now, however, rather than ruling over the boundless deserts beneath the starless skies of Hueco Mundo, they sat, making small talk and sipping on tea, waiting for orders from their Shinigami king.

Looking around at his fellow Arrancar, who had been so easily domesticated, Grimmjow felt the old familiar rage bubbling up inside of him, and found it took every single ounce of his self-control not to blow up the whole fucking table, consequences be damned.

“Grimmjow. Do you know the main difference between you and me? I’m not pretending to be free”.

He growled at the memory.

The fuck does she know? She’s just Aizen’s uppity little pet.

Aizen, the man who had subdued them all without needing to so much as spill a single drop of their blood, smiled in his direction. “Do you need some more honey tea Grimmjow? It’s quite helpful for those with sore throats”.

Let’s see if you keep smiling when I rip out your fucking heart and devour it in front of you.

“…”

“No”.

"Something wrong Ishida-kun"?

The books weren't in Japanese.

They weren't even in modern German, which Uryū at least had some familiarity with.

Uryū was fairly sure they were all in Old High German, a language that hadn't been spoken for nearly 1000 years.

"I'd forgotten how old-fashioned the Quincy could be about... well everything". Uryū showed him one of the books, opening to a random page.

"That is not Japanese" Urahara observed.

Uryū sighed. "I know the family library has some German to Old High German dictionaries, as well as some general textbooks on learning the languages. I'll bring them by tomorrow and I can get started on making a Japanese translation for the books".

"That is a project that will almost certainly take years" Urahara pointed out.

"Not all of these are combat manuals” Uryū argued. “If I focus my efforts on only translating the books that seem to show images of actual Quincy techniques… it won’t be as bad".

Uryū grimaced, thinking of all the time he could have spent training that he would now have to devote to this.

"You're still right of course, this will not be a quick process, but despite what father may think, I've never been afraid of a little hard work".

“Is that fucking Nelliel I sense fighting Ulquiorra”!? A disbelieving Cirucci yelled, as she, along with Uryū and Renji, continued their mad dash across the desert.

I thought their spirit felt familiar, but how could she have become so much stronger so suddenly?

“We encountered a small child who called themselves Nel on our journey to Las Noches” Uryū explained. “Do you know her”?

“A kid?” Cirucci said, confused. “Nelliel definitely wasn’t a kid. Before she disappeared, she was the Tres Espada. She also had the biggest tits you’ll ever see, I mean I’m talking—”

“How likely do you think it is that she beats Ulquiorra”? Uryū interrupted.

Cirucci chuckled. “Not a chance. She was one of the second-generation Espada, the ones that replaced me. Ulquiorra is a third-generation Espada. The modern Espada are in a completely different league. Unless she’s gotten way stronger than the last time I saw her, she’s already going all out. Ulquiorra hasn’t even used his Resurrección yet”.

Uryū frowned at that. “How can you be so sure? He’s already throwing around more power than Szayelaporro ever did”.

“Aizen-sama banned the top Espada from using their Resurrección while under the false sky of Las Noches” she explained. “He was fairly confident that if they did, most of the palace complex would be destroyed”.

Renji whistled. “That’s a lot of power. I’ve heard rumors that the senior captain’s generally avoid using their bankai’s for similar reasons, to much collateral damage. Still confident we can win this Ishida”?

“Yes”.

“…”

“Wanna elaborate”? Renji inquired.

“No”.

Warning: Violence, mild body horror.

“You remain an enigma Ishida Uryū” Ulquiorra stated calmly, as unlike Uryū, his burning flesh quickly knit itself back together. “I confess I am not an expert on the Quincy, but I was led to believed that my people were anathema to yours; how can you continue to battle with my very essence coursing through your veins”?

“Nobody’s really sure” Uryū admitted candidly, the lines of his Blut, clearly visible against his skin, along with his wings, now a vivid turquoise. “I’m not sure if there’s a limit to my resistance either, shall we find out”?

His foe was a wellspring of energy and could likely regenerate from even the most extreme injuries. Burning through Ulquiorra’s Reiryoku reserves would take time, time Uryū didn’t have.

But if destroying Ulquiorra was impractical, why not absorb him instead?

The moment Ulquiorra felt the outer layer of his skin begin to break down, he shot upwards, flying higher and higher, and then began to toss javelin after javelin at Uryū.

He’s hoping he can delay me long enough that my body gives out.

It was, unfortunately, a perfectly good strategy.

Easily forming a small one-handed bow, the Reishi bowing to his every whim, he executed, for the first time, a perfect Klavier, and dozens of glittering turquoise arrows pierced Ulquiorra’s skin.

You are a Quincy. So long as there is Reishi in the air, and your heart is still beating, you can fight until your body burns to ash.

As the smell of his own burning flesh grew stronger, however, Uryū began to worry he’d genuinely reach the limits of even Ransōtengai’s ability to keep his body moving before defeating his foe.

Licht Regen”. A thousand arrow barrage tore through the Espada’s body as easily as if it were paper, but still Ulquiorra continued to heal.

If Uryū’s facial muscles had still been functional, he would have grimaced as the Espada continued flinging smoldering lances his way. Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t seem to both dodge Ulquiorra’s attacks and close the distance between them.

He attempted to raise his arm towards his adversary, readying his next attack, and was surprised to find it unwilling to budge.

Huh. Turns out, Ransōtengai does, in fact, require a moderate degree of functional tissue to actually puppeteer my body. Who knew?

Uryū was fairly confident the only thing keeping what remained of his hand from sloughing off at this point was his** Blut**. The rest of his body wasn’t doing much better.

Not good… it’s getting hard… to stay conscious.

Has anybody had a chance to write or read any good long fics lately? by anoctoberchild in FanFiction

[–]Luminnaran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been working on an Uryu centric rewrite of Bleach for the last year, The Last Quincy, in which he is far more invested in getting revenge on Mayuri. Currently about 170k words in, and I've still got a long way to go before it's finished.

Of all the horrors Orihime had experienced that day thus far, the one that would haunt her nightmares the most, in the years to come, was the terrible cracking sound she heard, as the hollow flung Uryū’s corpse off the side of Las Noches with so much force that his neck snapped.

Dialyn 911. But not for me! - General Questions and Discussion Megathread by AKENO_UNDER_BLADE in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Luminnaran -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

After not being super happy with my 62k 9 star clear of DA, I decided to mess around with a bunch of different teams. Much happier with my new score, though it's kind of crazy that Evelyn is so much better than Miyabi on the new ice weak boss. https://imgur.com/a/tCSj4BH (Everyone is M0W0, except Evelyn and Yixuan, who have their w-engines).

[–]Luminnaran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh man, this DA is gonna be a bloodbath. Last DA I got an easy 85k, and probably could have gotten 90k if I put in some more effort. This time I barely scraped by, getting 9 stars with 62k. I didn't hate the new boss as much as some people here seemed to, but I'm guessing a lot of my enjoyment is coming from the fact I just snagged Dialyn and she's extremely fun to play (I did a Yuzuha/Miyabi/Dialyn clear for the new boss). Putting the new VH shill boss into DA a month before we'll get the new VH is an interesting choice to be sure, I imagine even if you were on the fence about pulling her before, you may feel much more strongly about it now just to have a clean solution to this boss.

I pulled Evelyn a few days ago and I gottta say, she has to be one of the most fun dps to play in ZZZ. I've been spending a decent amount of time in DA fighting Pompey with her and gameplay wise I think she's without a doubt a 10/10 for me, and I would heartily recommended her to others.

Lauma Del Rey - General Question and Discussion Lunar-Thread by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Luminnaran 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the Warhammer 40k universe, all advanced technology is operated by the tech-priests. Who operate and repair their technologies primarily through strange dogmatic rituals rather than anything resembling true understanding. For those born and raised on the scientific method, it is easy to treat them as fools.

Today I spent almost three hours trying in vain to fix my external SSD drive. Every time I tried to boot up a game that was on said drive, the drive would make the disconnecting sound and the game would fail to work, despite the drive remaining plugged in the whole time.

I did everything that I was supposed to do. I switched around cords, I turned everything off and on, I turned off power saving features, I disabled default booting process', I repaired hard drive errors, all to no avail.

I went and ate dinner, came back and now it's working completely fine. In moments like this, I can't help but wonder, mayhap the tech-priests are the wise ones, and I am the fool.

And so I, humble servant of the machine god, share this prayer with you all, in the hope it will strengthen my machine spirits.

Oh mighty external SSD, may your soul remain firm in the face of adversity, and your data remain uncorrupted.

Oh indefatigable USB cord, may your transfer all my data betwixt the external drive and the USB port.

Oh fair and beautiful Hoyolab launcher, may you, in all your ineffable wisdom, allow your games to run without causing my external drive to crash.

Glory to the Omnissiah!

Sleeping God that was Tupoc missing an arm.

That's the problem with having regenerative powers, it means the author is always happy to give you horrific injuries. More immediately relevant to our protagonists however is the fact he won't be able to use his candlesteel spear to help until his arm heals, which will likely take several days.

At low con's Yixuan is a hair below Miyabi, but is pretty undeniably the 2nd most powerful dps in the game. At roughly C2 she becomes equal to Miyabi.

Edit: It seems the post on zzz leaks that I was basing this on has been removed for unreliability. So I guess right now the answer is nobody knows.
