Hello to some old friends
Nov. 10th, 2023 01:15 amBefore I get into the fandom part of this, I just wanted to say I finally got some good news for a change. I will be going to telehealth mental health care starting on Monday afternoon. You guys, this is huge. I have been struggling with my mental health management since I came down here six years ago. From Primary health care not returning pharmacy calls to just not getting answers in general. But now I won't have that problem anymore. and it's gonna be such a relief. When I got off that phone today, you guys, I cried. I mean, i really cried. Because you guys? I started real life melt downs in public, and i have *never ever* done that. and I hate that.
Wow. Just... wow. So you know how when the Pandemic happened in 2020 and I reintroduced to the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister and found some solace in that? well, here again, I find myself in a psychological crisis (well for me. not suicidal or anything. Please don't worry about that you guys.)
Thia time though, I've been redirected to the Roba brothers, headed by Espa Roba, the (supposedly) phony ESP Duelist from the second season of Yu gi oh. Now, I say "supposedly" because in my headcanon, my Espa and his family are all actual psychics from a fucked up carnival that not only used these powers on their clientele, but to kidnap up and coming female psychics to keep their lineage going.
so right now I'm going through all my Roba-centric fics and I'm gonna figure out how to re-boot them into a large volume that will encompass tham all into one large FanNovel. if I can do it for Rescue Rangers in one shot I can do it for a group of characters I basically had to invent because God bless him, but Takahashi didn't give us a lot to work with for Espa and his family. So for my reference, and those who are new to my journal:
Espa Roba: Eldest Roba (15 in Battle City, 18 at start of my FanNovel)
Jonathan Roba: Second Oldest Roba in all shots of the 4 brothers, the one who was carrying the baby (12 in Battle City, 15 at start of FanNovel)
Christien Roba: Middle Roba wears the headset telling Espa Joey's cards and gives the big speech at the end of the duel (9 in Battle City, 12 at the Beginng of FanNovel)
Andrew Roba: second youngest Roba had the lollipop. (6 in Battle City, 9 at the beginning of FanNovel)
Ej Roba: Youngest Roba (3 in Battle City, 6 at Beginning of FanNovel)
so far the outline is write out the prequel novels, Main Attraction 1 and 2. (because i always wanted to write 2 stories where we see the triplets taking care of Marcia while she's under Julius' control and we see Aaron's unrequited love for her and how it slowly becomes his downfall).
then I will write out the novella where Marcia leaves the boys afte Julius' passing. one thing that will be different in all of these is the details. With no one censoring me, i will be able to write them and tell the story I meant to tell. When I originally wrote the stories, I feeling a bit censored because I was posting them for people who had specific values and wanted specific content. and while I do consider myself a Christian, and I do hold myself to a specific standard, I don't feel I need to censor my creativity. These are for me. and if others like them once I post on AO3? fine. if not? they weren't originally written for anyone in particular, so good. but first I will meticulously read through every one of the original stories to decide what elements will be kept elements will be axed. I can tell you that Into the Lion's Den and Into the Fire are going to undergo massive changes. Really any of them that dealt with Marik. If I was gonna include Victoria. Because i don't want anymore memories of Marik in there.
