So, it's been a while.
I know that's not a good way of saying hi, but honestly I just want to get down to business. So, I have good news, really good news, an idea, and some bad news. Let's start with the bad news, since it's pretty much a cliche at this point.
Bad news: Chapter 3 is getting really long. Normally, that'd be a good thing, but it's also why I've disappeared for the past few months. I've been re-writing tons of content, from getting rid of a lemon, to adding a whole new villain, to remaking all the fight scenes, to completely changing Usopp's ending. Why, you ask? Because...
Good news: I'm thinking about making a sequel fic. I haven't completely decided on what to do with it yet, but I do have a solid idea on what Usopp's and Ulti's arcs would be. You'll see in the next chapter, which despite what I said earlier is actually close to finished. I just have to do the ending and it should be good. I don't know when it'll come out, but I'd say about a month at most and 2 weeks at least. Either way, look out or Chapter 3 (and maybe the sequel fic but we'll get there when we get there).
Really good news: Chapter 4 is nearly done! Much more than 4 actually. No seriously, I have the epilogue done, the middle is also done, and since I cut out the lemon it's much closer to being finished. I just have to do the beginning and Chapter 4 might as well be done.
Onto that idea, I just finished watching Pacific Rim The Black, and it. was. GOOD. So good that I'm thinking of making a fic for it. It'll probably be a one shot, but honestly it could turn into a multi-chapter fic. The only thing holding me back is that I also have this fic to do and the possible sequel.
Anyways, I highly recommend giving The Black a watch. It's on Netflix, its 2 seasons long and season 2 came out yesterday. I will admit, season 1 focuses on set up for season 2, but season 2 definitely delivers!
The main thing I love the most is the world building it gives. We learn so much and get a lot of unique concepts that have loads of potential. It also gives the Jaegers and Kaiju actual weight again! They finally feel like giant robots fighting giant sea aliens again. Not like Uprising. (We don't talk about Uprising)
Also, the show is finished! Yup, 2 seasons long, 7 episodes per season and 20-30 minutes a pop. That means you can binge a season in around 4 hours, and even then you don't even need to binge it.
Sad thing is, you can tell the show needs another season. It's still good, but Netflix definitely rushed the staff to finish the story. I don't know for sure, but I can guess it's because the animation was expensive and the show wasn't getting enough viewers in its first season, especially compared to the viewership the Pacific Rim movies got. Hell, even Uprising got more views, and we're not supposed to talk about Uprising.
Also, the ending feels... off, but I think that's because it was meant to, and no, not because it's rushed. You'll see what I mean if you watch it.
So, I think that's everything. Pretty much:
1. Chapter 3 is going to be out in at most a month. If it's not out by May, comment to tell me to hurry my ass up.
2. I'm thinking of making a sequel, but it all depends on if people actually want to see a sequel.
3. Chapter 4 is 90% done. It should be out quicker than 3
4. I'm thinking of making a Pacific Rim The Black fic, but it might just be a one shot. Still, a fic's a fic.
5. Watch Pacific Rim The Black. It's on Netflix, it's 2 seasons long and it's GOOD. It seriously deserves more recognition.
See y'all soon! (This time for sure)
