i am never going to use this tumblr for posts again

alright so since i finally got out of testing today and i learned how to scroll frame by frame through youtube videos, i am going to reward myself by doing an unnecessarily thorough breakdown of the quanzhigaoshou live action trailer imagery(watch cn fanbase beat me by a country mile)

nighttime cityscape/highway scene fades out

team happy walks into one side of an arena, wearing competition uniform (i will explain this later)

we switch to team excellent era, coming in through the opposite side of the same arena, also in competition uniform. their side of the arena is lit in red, not blue. are they playing at the same time? is this happy vs ee? :shrug:

also, why tf is a backpack part of all these uniforms? how much stuff do esport players need to carry anyway? did a backpack company sponsor the production??

panning shot of signs, looks like they’re for huang shaotian or blue rain

that’s cruel, br-fen. why does captain get no love :cry:

shot continues moving, now the signs are for han wenqing

based on lighting, i don’t think they’re the same shot

fade out to scene of arena packed with fans and players

if I’m getting these signs right, looks like it’s (right to left, moving with the camera):

team void, tiny herb, tyranny, blue rain, excellent era

so, all stars

honestly, the scale’s kinda small. thumbs down to location scouting – the weird lighting polyhedrons confirm that it’s the same arena as the one from the happy/ee shots in the beginning, so expect ~location weirdness/ambiguity~

unnecessarily synchronized card insertion

based on the card logo, i wanna say tiny herb?

ee responds in kind!

tyranny puts headphones on in unison. the headphones are white. also, i think this is their casual uniform. based on the giant maple leaf in the background, i would say that this is an away game with ee, but the worn metal and circle room in the background look more like tyranny’s supervillain clubhouse

now ee is playing. this shot looks like ee turf – they’ve got white-backed seats, and that weird angular lighting motif. also they’re wearing black and blue headphones because ~product placement~

i say turf, not arena, because there don’t appear to be any actual player booths in these two shots, the set design looks like what we’ve seen for the clubhouse pics (this is because the production couldn’t afford to film all of the games in actual arenas, isn’t it)

also, ee is wearing competition uniforms.

now tiny herb is playing on what looks like the same set, but with the background lit in red, not blue. maybe they’re playing against ee? also from this angle I can clearly see that they are *headsets*, not headphones, which means that vc is not banned by this version’s alliance. some dude in blue is hanging out in the background, probably an official of some sort. I am not sure whether this is their casual/competitive uniform

a guy in ee uniform sweeps his hands across a keyboard with unnecessarily colorful backlighting

~product placement~

ye xiu (yang yang) stands in front of ‘glory pro league’ hologram thing with his back turned, wearing the happy casual uniform

mouse shots! keyboard shots!

face shot! (of ye xiu, wearing casual uniform (puma!) and headset (white))

group shot of happy walking down arena hallway, wearing competition uniform. this is where I explain this bit. so as far as I can tell, every team has (2) uniforms: a casual uniform, which looks like a tracksuit and those enormous thick sweatpants had an ugly, ugly, baby, and a competition uniform, which looks dorky as hell. all of the female characters manage to elevate the terrible costuming by being beautiful, but are dragged down by the fact that apparently the alliance uniform for women mandates a miniskirt, because apparently no one has gotten cold legs in an arena, ever. (to be fair to the costume department, its not that they did a terrible job, its that their job was to replicate esport uniforms, which are a hot mess)

the main difference between happy’s casual and competitive uniform, btw, is that the casual one has a high collar and the puma branding, and the competitive has this funky sweater? not-collar thing

idk fashion words

also, ye xiu is wearing a mask because Reasons

(the reason is that judging by chen guo, this is from the challenger league arc, and the producer/director/writer/whoever decided to move around certain things)

boom! ee vs happy in the big arena, baby~~~

one dude from each team is standing under the spotlights, probably sx and yx by process of elimination

presumably!yx is NOT wearing a mask. maybe it gave him acne

pan across team happy getting ready to play in their booth? idk where this is

i see at least three types of headsets in this shot, and wei chen, who is not wearing his. maybe he got knocked out early?

now it’s the weird circle room that was in that early shot with tyranny! advertising on the ceiling lights, nice

I … have no idea what’s going on here. giant ee leaf on the sides, bunch of logos I can’t make out in the back, there are just *way* more people in here than any match would call for

like I think the dudes in the middle are wearing ee casual uniforms, but everyone else seems to be wearing black tracksuits? i don’t even know

ye xiu, geared up in full hobo gear (long coat&hoodie), storms out of the ee club set that was previewed in earlier set pics.

keyboard and mouse action!

ye xiu playing in the ‘storage room’ on a gaming laptop. also, he’s changed into a *different* hoodie

I have no clue what brand the laptop is; it’s the same as some of the monitors in a couple of earlier shots, might be Chinese?

yu wenzhou cameo

ye xiu hobowalking sadly in the snow (ngl, the hoodie make me laugh a little)

excellent era (w/su mucheng) walking into some stadium wearing casual uniforms. they are piss ugly

(the uniforms, that is. also ee minus mucheng, but who’s counting?)

happy coming from the opposite direction, also in casuals

and they pass each other! dramatically!

probably!yx taking a glory badge out of a box. can’t make out the details, but it says ‘1’ at the bottom, so these are probably the drama replacement for championship rings

tang rou focus shot! also, if that’s her line in the vo, I am *very* pleased

“turn all of the ‘can’t be done’s into ‘can do’”

yu wenzhou shot in casual uniform

ye xiu on The Motorcyle (pfft)

chen guo prepping for a celebration at Happy! she is Very Excited about that champagne tower. not sure who the two messing around with balloons in the bg are

tang rou in a cab looking upwards –

-to su mucheng, walking inside a stadium while wearing ee competition uniform

huang shaotian smiling at yu wenzhou while the rest of br preps. also, the blue rain competition uniform is an Abomination, which you will not appreciate until seen face on

ye xiu, whispering ominously ‘this is the last match’ as happy leans in around him

wei chen and… steamed bun? who is making a weird face, thumbs up

‘good luck’ whispers wang jiexi

and steamed bun *grabs* the challenger’s league cup, lifting it to wild cheers

chen guo and the crowd are ecstatic

partayyyyyyy

‘I will NOT give up’ says han wenqing, man who nobody, ever, has thought would give up

han wenqing and huang shaotian fistbump as tyranny and blue rain walk down a hallway, both dressed in their competition uniforms. zhang xinjie is confused. yu wenzhou is smilingly tolerant of the fact that hst is fistbumping right across his chest (huang shao is going to DIE, later)

okay so,

uniforms

tyranny’s looks fine! maybe the best competition uniform in the alliance (the bar is not high)

they’ve got a pretty normal chevron pattern across the front, some stripes. about the only problems are that the pants are a *little* too tight, and that some tyranny members are absolute maniacs who zip their jackets up all the way so it looks like they’re wearing the worlds weirdest collared shirt

blue rain …

so the closure is not that bad! pretty unconventional, an asymmetric zip with two fasteners across the top and some kinda … shawl collar? idk. I actually like it

but the pattern … i feel like someone said to the costume department, ‘you know, all of these uniforms have too many straight lines in their designs. we should add some curved lines. give the curves to blue rain! they’ve got no girls, so it’s the only way they’ll get any!’ and then they doubled down by adding raised piping for emphasis

that, and the way that uniform material looks like some kinda spandex-velour mix … it reminds me of the star trek:the next generation uniform! also, the casual uniform does the same curved line thing except in the opposite direction, and as a cutout, so its even worse

chen guo cheering in crowd

maybe a projection screen? tyranny and ee logos up on the wall

and happy logo SLAMS shut

ye xiu with his hoodie looking sad and pathetic in the snow up at happy

happy in competition uniforms coming downstairs (chen guo, so challenger’s league)

also damn, happy internet café is *swanky*

I mean, my eyes would hurt from the glare after a while, but it’d be pretty

EXCELLENT ERA

trophies. looks like seasons 1,2,3 going down to the left

sun xiang at the whiteboard lecturing ee. he is the only one not wearing the casual uniform. where is your piss ugly uniform, xiang xiang? this is a team endeavor, you’re not allowed to not wear it. it builds morale

BLUE RAIN

yu wenzou smiles

huang shaotian … fake guitars? with … something that’s been bundled up

TINY HERB

i guess this is why they redesigned the logo, so it would match the aesthetic and could be slammed shut like this, but i still don’t like it

honestly, tiny herb training room aesthetic is incredibly beautiful and soothing

but still way too much white, what the hell ppl, don’t you know about eyestrain?

‘today we’re training how to put our headsets on, synchonizedly’ sponsored by hp

also apparently that *was* the tiny herb competition uniform earlier, since this is the casual one. hmm. a bit too olive drab. tyranny’s still winning

signature wang jiexi EYES shot

TYRANNY

tyranny training room looks a lot less like a supervillain lair when brightly lit! go figure

now it looks like an overexposed supervillain lair *set*. progress!

captain han is ANGRY

hands clasp in front of happy members in the bg. tang rou is def not paying attention

is ye xiu wearing a mask AND a hat??? dude, chill

happy walking into crowd of fans&paps … somewhere. why is steamed bun kneeling next to the door? :it is a mystery:

group cheer! no ladies

group … orange juice! with su mucheng! damn, qiao yifan’s tall.

confetti in the stadium, and reporters charge forward

judging by teams and signs, this is all stars, so reaction to ye xiu’s dragon raising its head?

‘beautiful!’ ejaculated ye xiu

key and mouse action ~~

and the crowdteam happy goes wild!

team fist pump! someone has put their phone on their chair. I hope they don’t sit on it

ye xiu putting on headset in happy internet café. cant tell if this is hobo!hoodie or hoodie no.3

ye xiu :eyes:

key press. wtf program starts up with ‘s’

cgi is cgi

everything looks super gloomy and overcast ~ i hope they do more varied environments

and we see lord grim! they’ve gone for a really…tarnished metal? look for the MMU

like, I would not mistake it for an umbrella.

yang yang face

THE KINGS AVATAR

Okay, so if you were looking for anything of actual substance in this, looks like they’re doing ch.1 - 1052 at least, probably 1-1060, so the end of the challenger league arc.

Small is Cute | Ike (Fire Emblem) | Modern!AU

@may-vin and @xi-lyrica, this is all your fault. LOL. Also if you’d like to see art correlating to this, please check out this post by the lovely and beautiful Morgan.

"[F/N]! Dr. [L/N]!" The call of your name makes you glance up from the files you were looking over one last time. Your assistant pops her head in, strands of brown locks blocking her face as they fall out of the messy bun atop her head. "Yes, Mist?" The petite girl steps in, and in her arms she cradled a small blue tabby kitten. Its meow were weak, but it was still fighting to be freed from her arms. "I was wondering, the kitten, Rai, do you think it's okay to leave him here overnight?" You hummed and then closed the file containing the kitten's information and you mumbled, "I would like to say yes, but... his owner did say the poor thing doesn't like to be left alone." You reached up and gently scratched beneath its chin, causing the kitten to momentarily purr before you pulled away. Mist gently pet the blue tabby and she mumbled, "I would love to bring it home, but.." She flinches when the tabby scratches her arm, and she laughed, "I don't think he likes me too much." She hands him off to you, and immediately he cuddles up beside you, nuzzling its head against your chin and you chuckled, "I can take him." Mist's eyes widened and asked, "Are you... are you sure? [F/N], no offense, but can you handle taking care of a kitten?" You looked away from the small kitten that was now playing with the collar of your white coat, only to meet Mist's playful gaze and teasing smile. You laughed, "Says you who can't cook." Her cheeks flared red, and she stuttered, "I-I'm perfectly capable of cooking a meal!"

"Instant ramen doesn't count, Mist," you teased and you laughed, "Go home, Mist, it's after hours, you're not required to stay." A pout is evident on her face, but as she watches you play with the kitten so naturally she sighed, "Okay, but don't stay up too late, alright?" "I won't, you worrywart. Even if I do, I'm still the first one to get to work anyways. Drive home safely, okay?" "'Kay," she sang out as she left your office. The kitten gives you a pathetic meow as it curls up sleepily on your lap. Your fingers gently tread through its fur and you smiled, "You're lucky that you're so cute. Just one more night and a final check up tomorrow and you'll be home free." *** You had thought it'd be like every other time you brought home another animal. They slept in your 'guest room' that has been redesigned into a pet playhouse, decked out with fluffy rugs, mats, and plenty of chew toys all over the room. But this time was different. You had finished getting ready, all you were missing was Rai. But you had opened the door, and it was silent, empty, and devoid of all signs of the blue tabby. You heaved a heavy sigh and muttered, "This cannot be happening." Immediately you went through the entire house, calling Rai's name and hoping that maybe she'd hear a distant mew somewhere in the house. You shook your head and ran a hand through your hair, "Gods, please. This is a disaster, oh my god." After spending half an hour looking for the cat, you bit your lower lip in worry. I have to get to work in an hour. But there's no sign of the damn cat. I cannot believe he somehow got out of the house. How? I locked everything. You sighed, and mumbled, "Okay, I'll check outside. Maybe he wandered out there. I really hope he didn't. Gods, what if he's actually missing?" As soon as you unlock your door, the sound of water being sprayed catches your attention, and you glance over, only to be surprised at the sight of your bluenette neighbor holding the blue tabby you spent the entire morning looking for. "Rai!" you declared upon sight of the kitten. It meows in response, squirming slightly in the toned arms of your neighbor. But instead of squirming away, it cuddles up in the crook of your neighbor's arm and he glances down at the cat, then to you, and asks, "Oh, is he yours?" You blinked once, twice, and then upon realization that you actually never met him before, you answered, "Not quite mine, I was taking care of him though. And uhm, my name's [F/N], nice to meet you." Your neighbor quickly switches off the hose and just tosses it over his shoulder, extending his arm and hand in a greeting, he shook yours and gives you a small smile, "I'm Ike. Nice to finally meet you." You grimaced, "Ah, yeah, I'm usually only home in the mornings and nights. I spend all my time at work." He nods understandingly, "I see. I'm normally at work too, but today's my day off." You give him a small nod, but your gaze drifts away from the ocean blue hues to the tabby that was snug and asleep in Ike's arms and you mumbled, "This spoiled kitten." Ike glances down, and his fingers gently rub against its chin and he smiled, "He's cute," he pauses, and mumbled, "Don't normally see them this small." You don't catch that part though, and you sighed, "Sorry for any trouble he caused you though." Your neighbor shakes his head and gently maneuvers the kitten over to your arms, "It's fine, he kept me company while I watered the garden." You chuckled at the way Rai immediately snuggled up against you, his head finding the crook between your neck and shoulder and settling there. You cooed and gently rubbed his head with your cheek, "Aren't you a pampered kitty?" You get a purr in return, causing both you and Ike to chuckle at the sight of the comfortably spoiled kitten. With a fond shake of your head, you look up at Ike and smiled, "Thank you for watching over him, even if it was because he escaped. I have to get to work now though. I'll see you around?" Ike's eyes widened just slightly, and he nodded, "Yeah, sure. See ya, [F/N]." *** "You look tired, doc." You glanced up, surprised to see Rolf here this earlier. And you laughed, "Yeah, Rai gave me troubles." Rolf looks down at the blue tabby that was sitting comfortably on your lap and he raised an eyebrow, "I'm surprised he's so attached to you. I don't think he likes anyone in this office." You rolled your eyes and sighed, "I'm telling you, he's spoiled." You gently pet him, and you mumbled, "Good thing he's going home soon." "Well, the day's only begun, so don't be too exhausted." "Yeah yeah, go set up the lobby room for me, I'm going to do my rounds on the overnight patients." "'Kay." *** "You know, I thought Rai was supposed to picked up already," Rolf commented as he watches the tabby play with the mouse toy that was attached to a string. Mist sat cross legged on the floor, teasing the kitten and she shrugged, "Ranulf said he'll be here, but apparently he wanted to bring a friend along." "Wonder who it is," Rolf sighed as he rests his chin on the lobby counter. His gaze was empty as he looked out the window, only for him to sit up straight, surprising Mist who slightly flinched at his sudden movement. "W-What is it, Rolf?" "Ranulf brought your brother." "What?" Mist turned her head towards the door, and upon hearing the jingle, the meow from the once occupied kitten is heard along with scampering as it runs up to the newcomers. "Hey there cutie!" Ranulf greeted as he picked up the kitten. He shoots Mist and Rolf a cheeky grin, "Hey you two, didn't know you guys worked this late." "We're only here this late because of you," Mist pointedly replied. Ranulf laughs, and places Rai back onto the floor where he circles around Ike once before the male scoops him up into his arms. Mist watches with intrigue and teased, "I thought you only liked the bigger cats." "Small ones are cute," Ike responded naturally. Ranulf nodded in agreement and asked, "So where's the doctor at? Gotta thank them for taking care of this spoiled kitten of mine." "Oh, let me go get them," Rolf offered. He quickly made his way towards the back of the building, finding you gently cradling a bearded lizard in your arms as you fed it liquidated nutrients. Rolf smiles at the sight, and gently knocks against the doorway for your attention. "Oh, Rolf. Did you need me?" "Rai's owner is here." "Oh, okay. Let me just put this fella back," you whispered softly as you adjusted the reptile's position until he crawled back into its respective cage. You smiled and gently ran your finger down its back, "This one is about ready to go home soon too. Anyways, I'll be right out, tell them to wait a little please?" "Sure thing!" he responded as he made his way back. Ranulf gives him a questioning gaze and the green haired boy responded, "Give them a minute to clean up." "Well, I don't need them to wash up just for me," Ranulf laughed, and then smiled, "Sanitation purposes though." "Yup, nice to meet you," you greeted as you came out. You firmly shake his hand and he smiled, "Ranulf. Nice to meet you, Dr. [L/N]." "It's a pleasure to meet you. Rai's a really sweet kitten, he took all the shots well, just had to stay overnight in case there was any potential reaction to them," you explained. You glanced around and asked, "Where is your kitten actually?" "Over there," Ranulf pointed behind him with a thumb and you glanced back, surprised to see your newly acquainted neighbor lifting the small blue tabby up into the air like a certain movie. You blinked once and mumbled, "What." "What?" Ranulf parroted and then glanced back and laughed, "Would you look at that? Ike, my dude, I thought you said you weren't comfortable with smaller animals." Ike glances back, and his eyes widened slightly upon seeing you, but he smiled, "Rai's cute." "Right?" Ranulf sang out and watched as Ike shifted himself while sitting to face the two, "Kind of want one for myself." "Brother, we can't take care of a cat when neither of us are ever home!" Mist sighed in exasperation. Your eyes widened and mumbled, "Brother?" Mist looks up towards you and smiled, "Oh yeah, [F/N]! This is my older brother, Ike." Ike glanced back and answered, "We met this morning." "Oh, I see... wait." Mist looks at Ike and then back at you and asked, "How?" You sighed, bringing a hand to your forehead and mumbling, "I can't believe we're neighbors." "Rai was sitting on the front door when I went to go water the plants." "And that's how we met," you added as soon as Ike finished speaking. Ranulf let's out a low whistle and said, "No wonder the whole day Ike was like, 'Small animals are cute.'" "Does he... do you not like small animals?" you asked out of curiosity. Ike hands Rai over to Ranulf and he answered, "No, it's not that. I work at a zoo, so I'm used to the bigger cats." "Oh." "Yeah." Mist laughed at the expression of shock on your face that you didn't even realize you had. And she sheepishly smiled, "Maybe I should have told you I had a brother." "No, no," you sighed, a fond smile on your lips, "It's fine. What would I have done with that information anyways?" Mist shrugged, and Ike slowly gets up and casually commented, "At least I have a name and a face to the wonderful and beautiful vet that my sister works with." There's a teasing smile on his lips and Mist is flushed pink and whined, "Ike!" "Oh?" you teased, "So I'm beautiful and wonderful, eh?" "Ike! Look what you did!" He ruffles her hair and Ranulf laughed, "Well, we must have taken up most of your time making you guys wait. So," he drawled the last word, glancing back at the siblings and then at Rolf, "Why don't you let us treat you to dinner, Ms. [L/N]?" "[F/N] is fine, but as nice as it sounds, I really don't want to burden you-" "You should totally come eat dinner with us!" Mist interrupted you, a bright smile on her face. She exchanged a weird glance with Ranulf and Rolf, and both nodded in agreement and you frowned, "What are you up to, Mist?" "Nothing!" Although you still didn't believe her, not with that look in her eyes. But she smiled, "Consider it a thank you for all the times you've made me lunch!" "What, [F/N]’s made you lunch?" Rolf asked, and Mist looked away, clearly embarrassed, and you laughed, "Alright, fine. I'm assuming we're going out for dinner? And I won't be subjected to Mist's attempt to cook again?" "[F/N]!" she whined, causing everyone else to laugh. But she can't help but be grateful that you said yes. Because she was definitely not letting this chance go. *** "That was a great dinner," you praised as you leaned back against the car seat. Mist nodded in agreement and leaned forward, "It really was." "Thanks for paying, Ike. I barely met you today and already you've helped me out again," you chuckled and he smiled, "Don't worry about it. With Mist around, I'm pretty sure we'll see each other more often." "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, there's a clear whine of accusation in her voice, and you turn around to face her, "It means that you're a social butterfly." She rolled her eyes at you and snarked, "Like you aren't." "Uh-huh," you laughed, "If I was, I'm pretty sure I would have found out you two lived next to me a lot earlier." "Well, it's never too late now. But hey, [F/N]." "Hm?" "You should go check out the zoo where brother works at." "Mist," Ike's tone was laced with warning, but regardless, she continued, "Ike takes care of all the bigger cats, but the best part of it all is him and birds. They love him! Hawks, herons, owls-" "Mist, if you-" "So when he said that he was just cradling Rai, the sight was-" "Mist." She finally stops, but there's a smirk on her face when Ike glances at her through the rear view mirror and he sighed, "Sorry, Mist tends to... overexaggerate my job." "But working with predatory animals, now that is pretty cool," you commented, and smiled, "I think it'd be pretty neat to be able to see you do that." "Yeah?" "Mhm, any animals are cool to me. Of course, I do prefer the smaller, cuter, and cuddlier ones. But large animals of prey? And being able to handle some of them on hand? That's amazing, I'd love to see that," you laughed. You don't quite see it thanks to the darkness in the car, but there's a small smile on his face, and perhaps a tinge of a embarrassment.
