[Trigger warning: Body horror, sexism, violence, sexism, infection, childbirth, incest undertones, fetishzing of disease, GENERAL INSANITY. We’re beyond the Rubicon with this one, folks.]

Leliel: [Dead stare] Every time I look at it…it never gets less weird. It’s impressive.

Futaba: Yeah, I…uh…I read the summary of this chapter and the next and…Futaba hurt herself in her confusion. She had to punch herself back to sanity.

Diego: [Low susurrus in a strange, clicking tongue that seems to be in disbelieving agreement.]

Nocht: Erm…can I ask why Diego is currently a colony of xenos fungi? And…I don’t think that’s Low Gothic.

Leliel: Wait, sorry, translator’s not on-[Clicks something.]

Diego: Sl’rezk-ahem! Thanks, much better. I’m not actually physically present, my real self is currently gestating in a chrysalis in a sea of LCL - I had Clarence, my mi-go friend, rig up this as a radio while I complete my ascension to Elder Godhood. Trust me, I’ve seen where this leads from a front-row seat, and sweet merciful All-Mother’s embrace. You are not prepared. None of you are. I wasn’t.

Sophia: Well, it certainly seems things have escalated since I left. Which, given the degree of idiotic heresy we were at last time I was here, doesn’t help much.

Leliel: [plug]Read the spitefic.[/plug] But yeah, you know you’re in for a wild ride when the author’s note tells you Weird Gross Shit Is Going Down.

Thanks, and apologies, to my beta-reader Crazy-88, who I appear to have mentally scarred with this chapter. Prepare for awesome and mindfuckery rarely seen these days. I recommend you bring metal music and a barf bag.

Emma: Mindfuckery, yes. Awesome, no. And I wouldn’t sully any of my beloved Dynazty or A Sound of Thunder by associating it with… this.

Diego: And trust us - we will need a barf bag, but not for the reasons Academia Nut thinks…hopefully. There was a reason Nicholas Cage in one of his distinct roles was the preview image.

Chapter 19


[Trigger warnings: Aftermath of mind rape, gore, discussion of sexual assault, misogyny. It’s the last few stretches, folks.]

[Image heavy.]

[ Link to my journal for non-members]

[You may have noticed that one of the IRL co-sporkers has been renamed to Wanderer. Rest assured, it's the same guy, and I'll explain what I can if asked in PMs. Suffice to say, he wants a clean break from his old ID. He is Wanderer/Wanderer2691 in all my previous sporkings now.]

Leliel: Third to last…third to — [Notices Wanderer leaving] ...Wanderer, where are you going?!

Wanderer2691: [Flatly, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, trunks, luau wreath, fedora, shades and crockers, while holding a suitcase full of clothes and his portable game consoles with their associated games] Elsewhere.

Futaba: [Eyes Widen; Exasperated] You mean we can just leave the whole time if we wanted to?!

Wanderer2691: I can, you can't. Remember we own this domain, and I've decided a nice vacation in Hotrealm is what I need after this... shitshow. [Shudders, Before Sternly Grimaces] I'm sorry, normally I’d love to help, but even I've hit my ceiling with this garbage long ago. It's not even funny bad like Shield Hero's inceldom or A Brighter Dark's valiant failure at the source material. This is just bad-bad. I genuinely cannot stomach it any longer.

Leliel: Wait, you can't just leave me here to—

Wanderer2691: Hey, you’re the one who decided to do the Stupid Psychonauts in one go, dude. Just keep me posted if you have anything new, okay? Depending on the future, we may have a skunk to skin... [Beat] ...or an isekai orc. Or— well, whatever, just anything but this. Ciao!

Leliel: Hey, don't you just—

[Wanderer2691 invokes the power of the First Dragons, and warps out of there]

Leliel: [Deflatedly] ...leave me. [Groans in self-pity]

Emma: [Wry Smile] In his defense, he's not wrong; there’s no good way to split this thing. You’re always dealing with entirely too much Thousand Shinji for anyone's sanity.

Taion: Which is why Nocht and Diego are taking a break, I see…but I must ask Shinobu why he tortures himself.

Shinobu: [Bleak smile] Because it gives me an excuse to avoid the next chapter…one I’m informed Nocht needs to see.

Futaba: Hoo boy…I’ve been given the quest log for that too, which is apparently so insane that, despite this not being as terrible as the last two chapters, it’s being spliced off so we can give it all the attention it deserves…especially because, as the title notes, we’re about to see what this fic thinks is a good ending for poor Misato. We will have words.


Chapter 18



The Strategic Myth )


[Trigger warning: Homophobia, and lots of it. Also, sexism in general, implied past animal cruelty, gore, and extremely insensitive and fetishized portrayals of the mentally unstable. Also, discussion of a sex predator in Persona 5.]

[Image and gif heavy]

[Link to mirror on Das_Sporking.]

Futaba: …okay, let me get this out of the way first - my poor sweet Angel hybrid boy, what have they done to you.

Wanderer2691: Uh….yeah. Welcome, one and all, to the most homophobic chapter in this nightmare of a fic, as we get to see Academia Nut’s opinion on Kaworu Nagisa, which can be summed as “AH SCARY ANGEL KID WILL TURN ME GAY!” Seriously, this spork is late partly because we needed to tackle it slow (and Leliel’s Library Science master’s degree).

Taion: We are exaggerating, but…only slightly. And the anticipation has…well…

Emma: This is it. You thought you’d seen the nadir? You thought this fic had hit rock bottom? This is where the fic hits rock bottom and rents the fucking Bagger 288.

Taion: While she seems to have recovered from…whatever it was before, we get the sense that Emma’s sanity will not last this chapter. But even beyond that, this chapter continues to not only be an utter bore, but one that clearly has no respect for mental health at all.

Leliel: And also? Deep anti-intellectualism! Because it’s clear here that Academia Nut does not care for the fact that Eva brings up these philosophical asides through him. At all. When it’s the point of the series.

Diego: Of course not, because otherwise, Tzeentchji might not completely adhere to being heteronormative! And that’s just wrong! So he has to change the philosophical debate they could have had to a slapfight!

Sophia: On some level, he must have an awareness he would never be equipped for any philosophical debate.

strong>[Trigger warning: It bares repeating, this entire chapter is about a date rape and the aftermath thereof, and while it has less so than the last half, we will have to reference it. Along with the aforementioned alcohol abuse, general skeeviness, ableism, murder, misogyny, abuse, mind rape, underage sex, incest, body horror, gruesome death, loss of agency, self-harm, suicide…this might well be the most unintentionally gross chapter in this fic. REMAIN ADVISED.]

[Image heavy]

[Link to mirror on Das Sporking.]

Leliel: [Finishes soda] So, we ready for this?

Wanderer2691: Not at all, but there’s no way to extent ten minutes into a decade.

Leliel: Yeah. First of all…

[THIS IS THE HALF OF THE CHAPTER WITHOUT DATE RAPE, JUST BORNING SUMMARIES OF THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE SEEN. IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH READING THE PREVIOUS, START HERE.]

Nocht: That doesn’t mean there’s less DEEP HURTING, mind, just less triggering. It remains just as boring when it isn’t painful, and manages to be painful whilst boring. So, without further ado…

[Trigger warning: Described sex, ‘humorous’ sexual assault, mind rape, and groping, general misogyny, biphobia, biphobic misogyny, brainwashing, suicide and mutilation. Basically, this chapter sucks.]

[Back in the Sporking Chamber, where we have three new guests - who, by expression, now want to be anywhere else.]

Gray-Haired Youth: I…what?

Glowing Redhead: [Bland, frozen smile while screaming for the sweet release of death with her eyes] Well that was…an interesting description.

Short Catgirl: …No. No, nae, never, not doing it, never in a million years- [runs for the exit]

Leliel: [Closes shutter doors] Yep, good reason to install those…oh hey! Welcome back to the spork, where we have read our guest sporkers in on the job and…well, reacted as we expected them to. [Dodges catgirl nails]

Emma: In our defense, there’s no good way to be eased into Thousand Shinji.

Wanderer2691: Yeah, we chose to be honest about it, and how much of a harem focus this chapter is…and what we expect of Tzeentchji in this.

Gray-Haired Youth: And…and this is a ‘hero’ to this prick’s world, huh? Makes you think Malos had the right idea…and for similar reasons, at that. It doesn’t even look fun from the horny perspective to have girls this…obsessive over you.

Glowing Redhead: That’s because you’re a decent person at all, Rex. And…I suppose we need a quick rundown, so we can get this over with quickly. Nia?

Nia: [Hisses in defeated frustration] …Fine. If it gets us out of here faster and leads to this arsehole being sealed far away from our world…I’ll let Rex start off while I take a few breaths to avoid my introduction being one long string of swears.

Leliel: Trust us, you wouldn’t raise an eyebrow.

[Trigger warning: Bodily dismemberment, light racism, torture, body horror, psychic sexual assault, mentioning indirect canon sexual assault, and implied offscreen torture in the spitefic.]

[Spoiler warning for Rogue Trader by Owlcat Games]

[Cut to the sporking chamber, which is currently having a projector tuned to a plot summary of the Angel fight this chapter. Also; dead silence]

Diego: what in the name of Leng’s toxic ground was that?!

Shinobu: I…what? Just…what?! …okay, I admit, I think biology class would be more cool if that were the case, but…what?!

Taion: [No speaking. Only staring, hollowly.]

*Sitting in the chair at the center of the Holy Inoculation Zone is a gaunt, heavily cloaked figure with stringy brown hair straggling out from under a kerchief and pallid skin barely visible around the edges of a gas mask.*

Mortarion: I assumed Sophia was joking. Plaguefather knows she’s prone to histrionics, but no. And now I have to admit that she’s right.

Wanderer2691: I just…if-oh, wait, spork’s starting! Hey people, it’s Thousand Shinji and…holy shit, Leliel was not kidding about this chapter being something special.

Emma: Yeah. Thankfully it manages to be more on the funny-bad side than most of the fic, but this fic’s version of funny-bad is still very very bad.

Leliel: Yeah. Welcome people, to the most insane part of this fic apart from the epilogue, one that would probably be a redeeming element for sheer force of craziness…except then I caught on to what, exactly, actually happens in this episode, canonically. And I must say…the sheer amount of disrespect kind of ruined it. And also, say hi to the Mortarion from Sophia’s genderswapped Horus Heresy! …Yes, name’s the same, the Overlords of Barbarus didn’t do gendered names.
Chapter 12

[Trigger Warning: Emotional abuse, body horror, mentioned animal death, torture.]

[Image/gif heavy]

[Link to das-sporking for members here]

Nocht: …Well. This was…not what I expected…

Leliel: [Looks up from giant bowl of tea-like liquid] What, the chubbiness? Even if we are far-removed echos of each other, I wasn’t born into a relatively functional ecumenopolis in a rather less functional empire. I’ve got time, food, and luxury to become soft.

Wanderer2691: …I think he means the shirt.

Leliel: [Looks at luau shirt covered in Imperial skulls and Aquilas.] Ah. Yeah, turns out that version of the Imperium is actually somewhat livable, that Shrine World’s gift shop only did sane price-gouging for pilgrims. Got some nice tanna too, though I’m pretty sure this is not actually tanna, on the basis I can drink it without my tongue plotting sedition against me.

Futaba: [Haggard expression] Can I have some of that? Because…I looked at your notes, and…ugh, I’m already suffering bonus objective failure regret at not being able to stab anyone with that chainsword…at least it’d be different…

Sophia: [Perks up] An interesting turn of phase. One I am in full agreement over, as it is clear that this fiction fears anything novel for all of its pretensions of making Tzeentchji more capable of agency.

Shinobu: [Uncomfortable look] Yeah…I thankfully missed that, but going by the notes, this chapter isn’t just a retread. It’s the fic actively forcing things to remain on the rails of the plot when Warhammer threatens to change it into an honest AU, and of course, mismanaging Misato.
[Trigger warning: Discussion of torture.]

[Mobile warning: Several gifs and images.]

[NOTE: This is a crosspost from Das_Sporking for commenters - original spork here]

Leliel: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the third to last A Brighter Dark post ever!

Azalin: Harooh…

Wanderer2691: Hey, he got…better towards the end! Actually kinda good at times!

Theresia: If you say so…

Velouria: Yes…they’re just tired.

Caim: Planetary destruction does that.

Leliel: Fair. One more push! I promise, the final reveal will be worth it! …next spork!


[Trigger: War crimes, child death, body horror, discussion of rape]

[NOTE: This is a crosspost from Das_Sporking for commenters - original spork here]

Leliel: So…you may have noticed some…numbers, above…

Jude: [Sneezes out some soot] why.

Wanderer2691: Okay, first of all, this fic has only 45 chapters, and the last one is an overview of how the story would have gone. So this gets it done faster.

Charlotte: Oh thank Dragons.

Zero: The light…I can see the light…

Leliel: Indeed. Up front, there’s going to be two ABD sporks in a row, covering everything up to the ending. There’s three reasons for this; one, there’s a lot of filler, and the pace just petered out. Two, I made a promise to someone to start sporking Fallout: The Frontier by year’s end. Three…

Wanderer2691: This fic became…actually kinda good.

When to spork, when not to spork. )

[Trigger warning: Plague, rape, war crimes.]

[Spoiler warning for Ghost of Tsushima, Live-a-Live, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Peace Walker, Breaking Bad, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses]

[Image heavy towards the end.]

[NOTE: Due to sporkings on the comm being currently restricted to members only, post is mirrored here on my journal. We are sorry for the inconvenience for non-member commenters.]

Jude: [Grim expression]

Caim: [Sharpening sword]

Theresia: [Training with hers.]

Azalin: [Cracks knucklebones]

Zero: …Let’s do this.

Leliel: Yep. Welcome, one and all, to the chapter that most flagrantly violates the Geneva Conventions, and Corrin becomes irredeemable. [Adjusts army helmet.]

Boyd the Reaver: Yep. And…to be honest, one of the most tragic chapters - not for her, but for DDI, who was entirely aware he had made a monster by this point, but couldn’t make her love-to-hate properly, instead somehow screwing up a fallen heroine’s…well, fall.
