surge cloud and zack sonic????? yes.

#💌 paii's art #sonic #sonic the hedgehog #surge the tenrec #final fantasy 7 #ff7 #crisis core #i already said this on twitter but in every au i see it's always shadow as cloud #but surge. surge does fit cloud's role way better than shadow #and to be honest i never really understood why people choose him as cloud they aren't even remotely similar in any way #but i'm glad most people agree w sonic as zack #and as i said on twitter before as well #with surge as cloud it makes even more sense for him to take the role of zack #as for the rest of the characters.... it's difficult to say. barely any of them resemble the ff7 cast. so idk

the sonic twitter takeovers are canon when they say something i like and not canon when they say something i dont like hope this helps

#ok jokes aside i refuse to accept the sonic twitter takeovers as 100 percent undeniably canon #nobody can convince me that i should take them seriously #before anyone says ''well sega said everything is canon'' no they didnt. that was a silly joke tweet not an actual serious statement #and even if it was serious you still shouldnt take it as ''every piece of sonic media exists in the same timeline'' #because thats just not possible #HOWEVER the twitter takeovers do have some fun/cute character interactions #and the answers i do like i like to take and keep as headcanons #like shadow liking coffee beans and kittens and volunteering at soup kitchens . very good #shadow and amy being taylor swift fans ? into the shredder. not canon #they would have better taste in music + that sort of music just doesnt fit shadow at all #+ the private jet thing is literally sonic villain behavior

Lost my original post of this from the other day but I genuinely don't understand how Black Butler discourse ever shifted into the does Sebastian ~really~ like Ciel or is Ciel just dinner line of conversation that is pervasive as it is because Sebastian is the one that has absorbed his whole existence into Ciel's. Sebastian's face is what Ciel wants Sebastian's whole purpose is doing things for Ciel Sebastian's every hell of a butler yes my lord speech is about how he's Ciel's and Ciel is the one going around saying shit like whatever Sebastian is just my pawn 💅

#like sjdjdkdd?????? #it's not that i don't think ciel loves sebastian per se bc. well. i don't think he'd ever process it in terms like that no matter what... #...kind of relationship they have bc the most important thing to him is getting him to do tasks like a dog and proving he will over and over #which is why sebastian does it all so overkill #but the most acknowledgement you ever get that ciel likes sebastian is stuff like idk the fucking book of atlantic you did good today #or if we're feeling really crazy the you were the only demon there line #like the dynamic has gotten way skewed in fandom away from the actual text #and i know why but it's still annoying bc i am not even saying this in a shippy way bc i don't give a fuck about ships #but they're so crazy entwined and in completely incomparable inhuman situations that it literally has no merit on this story to sit and... #...definitely piece together how this relationship works with real life normie standards like it literally is going to fit into no box of... #...what we think of as friends or siblings or parents or partners bc no victorian guy on the face of the earth has a real pet demon. #it's so boring you're missing the bigger picture that they're everything to each other and completely stuck together forever #does x mean y mean z? (least problematic answer only) they're stuck together! forever! #and no one has demons in real life it's all comparable to real life nothing #other than the asthma that's real #anyway. it's like fandom has made up a version of this story in their heads that is so devoid of anything that makes the story the story #twitter is like another planet for this i am mostly talking about twitter where i have been looking for news about the anime and oh boy #i have said this before but sebastian doesn't have a grip on human relationships bc he's not one and ciel doesn't give a fuck #but like this post started with and strayed from. well. sebastian isn't even trying to act like he's indifferent. ciel actually is. #and we're all missing several funny bits from that just trying to fit everything into a box #we could have more interesting conversations if we got past the same three people have been having for 20 years #kuroshitsuji #my kuro posts

No but that's kind of what I was talking about a couple days ago because like… I really do feel "jealousy" is such a small part even of how Mine feels about Kiryu, let alone of his motivations. So I Guess Instead Of The Tattoo Essay You Get This 💀💀💀

But like his chief concern is not that Daigo feels strongly about him, but that he feels SO strongly about him that his interference with the resort deal can and has endangered lives, including Daigo's own. Like, it's not only that purposefully putting his men in danger for a controversial figure like Kiryu would be bad for Daigo's reputation if it got out, but at least one person has died. Daigo was only ever going to send more men to their deaths, because Kiryu's worth it to him, and he got almost-kidnapped and shot over it.

And it's all for the sake of Kiryu Not Just Taking The L And Moving Somewhere Else With The Kids. That's what I think Mine is getting at with his comments on Kiryu's "hypocrisy": in cutting all ties to the yakuza abruptly to try and do something good with his life, he's also abandoned his responsibilities and is living in almost willful ignorance of the shitstorm his mistakes and his stubbornness lead to, right up until it lands on his doorstep.

In the Okinawa character story, Mine has a moment of genuinely understanding what Kiryu and Daigo are trying to do, and that Kiryu values Daigo's efforts even if he's not aware of the lengths he goes to. That's part of what changes his mind on Kiryu when he came to Okinawa with the intention of killing him.

But when Daigo's shot, he can't bring himself to think Daigo brought it upon himself by interfering, or to look at it neutrally, so even that understanding becomes twisted as he has no one to blame but Kiryu. Kiryu is, after all, the reason Daigo interfered in the first place.

And because he's the CEO of projection and he himself was so easily won over by Kiryu in Okinawa, he thinks that if Kiryu topples the remaining officers, his charisma could carry him to the Seventh Chairman's seat unopposed, permanently. Of course, he's not considering that Kiryu wouldn't even want to do that; kind of like Aoki thinking Arakawa is gunning for the chairman's seat, I guess.

So in his mind, the stakes are incredibly high. Because Kiryu's return would mean neither Daigo nor Mine (believing himself to be the only person capable of carrying out Daigo's will) could be chairman. To Mine, the Tojo Clan is and should remain "The Sixth Chairman's Tojo Clan," so for the chairmanship to go to the man who (in his view) landed Daigo in this coma would be unacceptable.

If he's going into his first proper meeting with Kiryu with that mindset, it's really no wonder that it takes very little for him to actively see Kiryu as his enemy and go to the lengths he does in the finale to provoke him into a decisive battle. Dude was spiraling.

And I think that's the heart of it, because if you really interrogate Mine's perspective, you could honestly make a pretty convincing argument that what we're looking at isn't even jealousy. It reads AS jealousy to the audience and to Kiryu because he sounds like he's mad about Daigo liking him period. But as I've said, it's not actually because Daigo likes Kiryu and not Mine/more than Mine, it's because he likes him despite how often and how badly it comes back to bite him. We just don't get that context until RGGO, and Kiryu never gets that context period.

Which is not quite to say he doesn't, at least subconsciously, want to be liked by Daigo as much as Daigo likes Kiryu. I think it's incredibly incredibly notable that Mine has this fascination towards the people Daigo holds in high regard, and he's initially just curious about what kind of man Kiryu must be for Daigo to like him so much.

You see this play out directly with Mine overhearing Daigo's old friend call him Daigo-san and then, when Daigo tells him not to call him chairman in public (kind of like Shinada on the plane lol), opting to call him Daigo-san too. He could've just gone with Dojima like most people would and Daigo'd be cool with it, but he chose to emulate Daigo's friend, because that's how he wants Daigo to see him.

Huge part of that character story is the way Mine agonizes about not being as close as the term "oath brother" would suggest (especially after being abandoned by Kanda whereas Daigo took a bullet for him). So I can see his curiosity being like, this is another guy Daigo likes, is there perhaps anything about him I could emulate for Daigo to like me more…? Answer's No, but still.

Understanding people is kind of a big deal to Mine, I think. That is, of course, why he joined the Tojo Clan: to understand what makes Daigo tick, and to understand what would make his men want to die for him. So when his attempts to understand Kiryu are frustrated, that seems to get under his skin like almost nothing else. Because I notice that's when he really loses it in the finale, when Kiryu starts talking to him like he understands him while he still doesn't understand Kiryu.

Kiryu is the biggest threat to Daigo in Mine's eyes and it vexes him that he'll never understand why that's even the case. It's completely irrational to him, and because he's never really had family, he'll never really get why this sort of thing is almost second nature between family members who are that close.

About that, On The Lowest Of Keys and to be 100% thorough, I guess it's also a possibility Mine may have misinterpreted their relationship as romantic. Because Daigo goes on and on about how the Tojo is family to him and how Mine's family to him, so for Kiryu to be more than family in a way he can't explain sounds insane.

If you don't specifically know that Daigo means Kiryu has been more of a parent to him than anyone that could be considered his "real" family (i.e. Sohei and Yayoi). And. You know. Daigo doesn't Explain That Part. Not that he has to, but when you're dealing with the CEO of projection...

At the very least, Mine uses horeru for what he thinks Daigo feels for Kiryu in 3, so I just have a feeling he didn't get the memo on, Well, Anything. Perhaps fair enough on his part because 3 came out before a lot of that was explicitly fleshed out but GIRLLL STOPPP

And despite the nuclear levels of secondhand embarrassment that comes with this scenario, it's also… kind of funny. I'll say it. It would be kind of funny. It's like in 0 where Majima thinks one of the girls is going on a date and gets super protective but it actually turns out to just be her dad (massive grain of salt on this I hardly remember 0 so it might not have happened), or even in 3 where Kiryu thinks Haruka's got a boyfriend. Like why is Mine actually kind of dumb it's so endearing

But yeah no that's like… the only real avenue I can see Mine appearing to be jealous, but even then it's tenuous. I can't really make any definitive statements about it, as we've seen. I think at most it's just like, when you think your crush's ex (In Your Mind) is no good for them but they keep defending them; maybe some of that resentment is rooted in your own feelings, but it's also not unfounded. You know. I think Mine's always been a character whose methods and conclusions are much more questionable than his motivations.

YMMV on nearly everything I've said, but I just feel like… leaning into the jealousy aspect is the easy way out. It's easy to understand. You can say that and be done with it without writing over a thousand words (SORRY </3) to back up your point. But I (obviously) think there's so much more complexity to it, and jealousy is almost a fraction of a fraction of it, to me. It may be more time-consuming to examine the rest, but it's worth it.

But also admittedly biased because 95% of what I've seen the fandom do with the premise of Mine being jealous just isn't that appealing to me. I'm sure some would say I'm woobifying him or something here lmao

im getting the most intense feeling of deja vu and i do not know why but anyways.

in the short and sweet of it, i do think the bulk of mines feelings towards kiryu can be explained via their first meeting. his grievances can be quickly summed up through him calling kiryu a 'hypocrite' in that he thinks he can take care of one family while abandoning another and acting as though he can go back and forth however much he wants (and this can be highlighted with how many times mine refers to other people- i.e. hamazaki and the orphans- as kiryu's 'victims')

like a part of it could be jealousy but as you said it's not the main feeling- it's a fraction of a bigger thing and mine's own personal issues

#long post #snap chats #i dont have much else to say youve already said everything i could ever say. as per usual (￣▽￣;;;) #i have thought extensively about the whole 'hypocrite' bit before tho #i dont remember if ive made a post bout it on her or ive just talked bout it on twitter but yeah.. #mines issues lie in the 'opportunity' kiryu sullied i guess #or at least his irresponsibility is what i think i mean #idk i still have a lil bit of a headache from yesterday so im even more incomprehensible forgive me #i dont need to try to speak for you or expand for you tho youve done that well enough #i always try to comment when there isnt a reason to ( ´◡` ;;;;)

I'll make a post about it later but I swear the WORST advice I see being passed around in art circles is that art is a popularity contest and the only possible way to make money off of art, especially online, is to get popular first. Like that is BLATANTLY false.

The art community CONSTANTLY has to remind artists how damaging the numbers game is, and I think a huge reason why is because of how common a misconception it is that you have to be popular to make a living. It feels like the second I leave my specifically curated tumblr art community, I am bombarded with this idea.

#simon says #rant #delete later maybe #i made this bc I was watching a youtube video about how harmful fast fasion is for artists #and in the comments someone was talking about how they gave up on commissions bc no one ever bought them even though their prices were low #and someone responded by saying that the artist had to do youtube bc making a living was a popularity context #and I quote: 70% popularity 30% talent #and the first person said they were fucked because they had autism and social anxiety and couldn't do youtube #i instantly jumped in and made a long ass comment correcting this #giving advice on how to get more commissions and build an audience for themselves #while telling them that the person telling them it's about popularity is SUPER wrong #I now understand why there's ALWAYS a post about ignoring the numbers game getting popular #I totally fell into the same pitfall where I thought I had to get famous first before making a living #working with an artist as a studio assistant and deleting twitter has helped me stomp that mindset out #it's just not true yall. you don't need popularity you need passion #anyways I wanted to rant about this because I never realized that people were like... ACTUALLY telling young artists this #I thought that it was a mindset folks naturally fell into (like me) but it turns out people are just... blatently saying it #you're actively discouraging artists if you say shit like that btw #that's kinda why I decided to rant it just made me so mad like bro you are being a dick rn and preventing someone from creating #like the numbers game totally stops a lot of artists from creating what they like bc it won't do well #when you spread that idea that popularity is what makes an art career you are hurting so many artists #like I understand HOW the misconception starts and I understand where it comes from (once again been there done that still unlearning) #but don't spread that idea yall. it's just so shitty #anyways rant over uwu

i have made another silly twst tier list... mostly bc i get annoyed when fictional characters wear glasses for fashion purposes only, like i need to wear glasses to see so these fictional people should too

also this is mostly based on vibes

#twst #twisted wonderland #i said before in a twitter qrt thing that if i were an nrc student idia would be my enemy but actually no it would be azul #get bad eyesight first asshole!! #(joking) #also thinking about it i feel like i remember a vignette where vil says he wears contacts...? #so maybe he should actually be in the top tier... well #even if that is the case he's not wearing glasses i guess #this is the only tier list i will make where trey goes into top tier btw sorry trey fans #y'all are so strong but he's not a fave for me

I have a chronic maybe irrational fear as an artist that one day I'll put out precisely two mediocre pieces back to back and that will tear down Everything. Everyone will be like "i usually like ur stuff but this one kinda a miss :/" which btw is genuinely the worst thing you can say to any creator bc then we can't even pretend like ur a h8r.

The algorithm i so carefully managed to please will suddenly turn one me and shadow ban my butt into the unknown for being a plebeian. And I'd have no one to help me out of that pickle. I'd have to give up bc it's too painful to continue otherwise as a has been. Art will become this weird relic of my early 20s, a "Hey i used to be pretty good at art!" story. But my lack of practice over the decades has made it so I could NEVER draw gojo the way i can currently and it will frustrate and disappoint me and I'll die with regret so deeply entrenched in my blood and bones the earth around my grave rots and festers.

#honestly piece on twitter isn't even doing poorly maybe I've just been spoiled by yall #and maybe it's bc that genuinely was the best i could do and if the best i could do isn't enough i worry that's mediocre piece number 1 #and the next piece where i couldn't even summon forth my best out of stress will be mediocre piece number 2 #but maybe even worse the verification stuff already kicked me before i had a chance #slumps i expect now they're natural #but slump eras i cannot #ok so last night i said that post was the most deranged thing i ever said #it's not a contest but uh this. #this is the most deranged thing I've ever said and ever will say #why am i saying it well I'm venting I'm sleep deprived snd cannot sleep #my legs are ansty again and my carpal tunnel is acting up bc I've been holding my phone weird #obsessively checking twitter like a lunatic #listen i will be okay in the morning maybe maybe not idk #no choice though #actually idk if that piece is the best i can do. #delete later

You know I tossed the idea around in my head before very unseriously but now I am like 98% sure we're going to see Kaz and Inej kiss but have it turn out to be one of their imaginations/a dream

#everyone was being negative about the possibility on twitter so idk i just thought well maybe they do but they don't lol #but then Amita LITERALLY SAID on the red carpet: #“we get to see something they will never get to do” #🧐 #how are we seeing them do something... that they don't get to do... #PLUS she said in one of the crows interviews “we get to see a projection of what...” before kit cut her off for spoilers 💀 #PROJECTION OF WHAT #what they could be??? what they COULD'VE been????? #i am literally that picture of the man in front of the conspiracy board rn #shadow and bone #kanej #kaz brekker #inej ghafa

It’s major, major cinematic storytelling that happens to be called a TV series. It's as big as any of the biggest movies that we see. is very cringe sorry i hate the it's actually a movie but it's "a show" because it has to be it's just a coincidence but treat it like a movie because it's as serious as the most serious movie you've ever seen thing. you are a netflix show on netflix

#well not like the most serious movie like the Biggest. which means mcu or whatever #i just opened twitter #it's weird that i didnt see this before this is from eight hours ago #'the stranger things 4 finale was nearly two and a half hours it sounds like stranger things 5 will be even bigger' guys i will kill myself #i will do it they said it wasn't gonna be as long if it's bigger in more ways than from a storyline and stakes perspective i will never #recover #like bigger from a storyline perspective is already kinda meh see lumi elmaxed's post from july 3 but like. #and like i say: brf slt

I could post them on twitter too.

#myself included! #like thats something i constantly heard when it was coming out how bad those books actually were when not viewed through #the lense of like. elementary and middle schoolers #and if u think abt some of this stuff for more than like 5 minutes u will realize how fucking dumb it all is #its like b.enoi bla.nc said 'its not so dumb it's brilliant it's just dumb'! #like. most of the things that people consider cool and actually interesting and conductive to a well constructed fantasy world #are things that the fandom later established in retrospect some of which are DIRECTLY contradictory to lore #terfany tried to establish. that was why before she was known as the gross terf bitch and her little wizard boy #she was known as the annoying piece of shit who can't shut up or stop retconning her work on twitter #once again those books were never good you were just 10 and the fandom did all of the leg work #like if u look at the fact that the biggest fantasy world established before hp was the lord of the rings books......... #shit doesn't hold up #and she should be embarrassed for a fuckton of reasons and this is one of them #anyway #terf ment cw #harry potter cw #jkr cw #tbd
