Hello yet again, children, and welcome back to Parallel Realities. Well… Last time, this fic finally jumped the shark after engineering an entire scenario so that InHarmsWay could follow the leaked script of ME3. You know, because it’s not like that makes his parallel galaxy look like bigger idiots than the Council or anything like that.

Anyway, after that, we have quite a lot of ground to cover. And unfortunately, most of it will likely consist of me sounding like a very broken record, because Stupard does not shut up with his Council bashing over their Reaper denial. That said, you guys will probably be very thankful, because this is the last installment where I have to deal with that kind of irritation from Stupard and friends for longer than one scene.

So let’s get going, shall we?

Art-tastic Monday – Poster Post!

This one’s pretty cool – it’s a fan-made post for one of my favorite movies. The artist has some really neat stuff in his portfolio, most have a similar retro look to them.

Welcome once more, my dear Patrons! I’m here with yet another chapter from my Fruits Basket fic. As is often the case, not a whole lot happened last time; Tohru ran around the forest injuring herself and being tragic, and the guys elected to stay home and went to bed in the middle of the day. Like the previous chapter, Chapter 7 (titled Pica Boo for some reason) begins exactly where the last chapter ended.

Hello again patrons, and welcome back to Parallel Realities.

So last time, we began the ME3 arc with—what else?—bad logic. And then we ended the chapter with Stupard randomly killing a man because said man was too over the top for us to take seriously. Well, okay, that’s not really why, but it might as well be the reason why.

So now… we’re left to look at the rest of this chapter. Let’s not waste any more time, patrons, and let’s dive right in.
