#he's a v important character to me!!!

[getwonderhoyd]

i love the idea of kanade being like "i have this song, but none of our voices are quite right. i really think we need a boy to sing, too bad i dont know anyone" and mizukis like "well WE know a boy who sings dont we ena?" and despite all enas bitching moaning and pleading kanades puppy eyes plead harder. so she very reluctantly asks akito for a favour. hes of course a bitch about it, but she talks him into listening to kanades demo and he ends up agreeing. forces akito and mafuyu fake ass bitches to interact for an extended period of time. i can totally see kanade being intimidated by his attitude, but then they recognise how passionate both of them are about music and he becomes quite sweet on her, like he is with kohane. both akito and ena are rly pissy about working together, but are secretly really precious about this chance to just.... work together on something they both love, without their dad ruining everything.

they are dragged kicking and screaming into something that ends up being really sweet and important to most of them.

plus comments on the mv going is that akito shinonome from vivid bad squad???? how the hell did this collab happen????

#project sekai #look this is all v vague but it is so important to me #i love akito sm and i love exploring his character and i love he and enas complicated relationship #akito shinonome #ena shinonome #kanade yoisaki #mafuyu asahina #mizuki akiyama #25 ji nightcord de #nightcord at 25:00 #proseka #akito and ena #akito and 25ji #sekai crossover #lee posts

I don't know how to make this thought coherent, so bear with me people, but. I think ritsu calling shou "suzuki" instead of "suzuki-kun" says a lot about their relationship. ritsu is extremely consistent and polite with his use of honorifics, even with people he doesn't like that much (reigen is always reigen-san, for example)

but shou is always "suzuki," he never gets his proper honorific. this might be a stretch, but I think it fits into what I've thought about their relationship in the past, which is that shou gives ritsu the opportunity to drop the perfect kid act. him using everyone's polite honorifics might be good etiquette, but it also might be him creating distance between himself and others while wearing a polite mask. with shou, he doesn't need to bother with that. they met by beating the hell out of each other for fuck's sake, etiquette is out the window here

but while him dropping honorifics might be rude in other cases (the "NO HONORIFIC??" bit with hoshino in that one omake comes to mind) I don't think it is here. I'd forgotten until doing this reread, but ritsu refers to shou as his friend really easily. like, they've known each other for maybe a full day, and they were enemies before that, but when looking up at the cultural tower, he tells mob "my friend is up there!"

so I think him just calling him suzuki is actually a sign of him being close with shou. no bullshit, no using honorifics to maintain a polite image or to intimidate or to impress. he's just being direct with him, because shou isn't someone he has to put up a front around

#mp100 #this is not as coherent as I would like but hopefully it makes sense #ritsu kageyama #me? analyzing the way characters talk to each other? it's more likely than you think #linguistics brain goes brrrrrrrr #anyway. it was wild on reread for me to realize how easily he calls shou his friend #I had forgotten about that! #they've only known each other for a day but he's worried because his friend is up there in that tower!! #shou and ritsu's friendship is v important to me #shou is someone ritsu can be real with #and they understand each other better than most would #it's good for both of them

I know fans joke abt how the warden is more competent than the inquisitor bc they did all that w/o much help but the funny thing abt amihan is she actually isn't

she was 20, angry and hated herself and the world, she ended up in the situation she was in bc she was...a petty snitch. she also hates being a grey warden and continues to hate being one through dai - she actually leaves but then decides to search for the cure

for most of the Blight, it was fuck up after fuck up. like I play it so that I have enough ppl to help me fight the archdemon, but in my personal headcanon, she pissed off a lot of potential help (whether it be Circle mages who overheard her saying she was "gonna annul this shit" out of anger, eamon's men who did NOT like her, bhelen who didn't really trust the fact that she knew nothing about politics), left a bad taste in people they came across and picked a fight with anora

which I think makes sense for a 20 year old ill-adjusted young woman who had to learn how to be more selfless. beating the archdemon was pure luck mixed with people just NOT WANTING the Blight to destroy ferelden and realizing joining the fight was the only way to stay alive

amihan does grow, but it's slow, she has to process trauma, understand she hurt people and ruined their lives and to actually experience what it's like being loved (both platonic and romantic)

I tend to not post so much abt how much amihan fucked up and almost let a Blight swallow ferelden bc I tend to feel anxious abt how ppl will receive it but I think it's important to her character and it's fun and interesting for me to play with it in this case

immy is 100% more competent than amihan, in spite of her own flaws, but I love both my messy and my scaredy cat girl all the same

#amihan amell #my first pt of dao was a mess tbh lmao and i messed up so much and amihan's canon is pretty similar #after i fucked up and left amalia possessed ive been thinking abt playing the rest of the game where i'll pick what amihan would actually do #regardless of whether or not thatll end up being a good thing in the long run lmao so watch this space #i also wanna talk abt her friendships w morrigan and zev #god i love morrigan to death but lmaoo i know them being so close they just enabled each other's bad habits #which i think why it was good that morrigan and amihan drifted after dao bc they needed to grow apart #its v important to me that they meet again #zev is extremely important to amihan learning how to be selfless #im sorry to zev tht he had to deal w amihan's bs during a blight 😭😭😭 #also there are companions and other characters that just straight up hate amihan and lol 😭 #anyway just rambling bc i love an incredibly flawed female character and thts what i wanna portray w amihan

The fact that Jesper is like. a mid-tier fabrikator at best is actually so important to me.

So much of this story centers around the fact that these people are not chosen ones, that they have no sacred destiny or otherworldly power, but that they're children doing the best they can in a system that doesn't care about them, and all they have are their wits and each other. Jesper isn't an especially gifted grisha, and he has no formal training, but he takes that teaspoon of unremarkable talent and applies it to a skill he spent years perfecting to make something even greater and wholly his own. He isn't special because he was born that way, he's special because he made himself special.

#i could literally talk about this forever #this also applies to every other character btw #but jesper is a great example #i love him so much #this is lowkey why i don't love all the meta ppl write about him going to the little palace to learn #also i think its super important to note that wylan doesn't encourage him to embrace his abilities to 'get more powerful' or whatever #he specifically wants him to do it because repressing that side of him is actively hurting him and he can't spend his life ignoring part of #who he is #wesper #jesper fahey #six of crows #crooked kingdom #soc #six of crows meta #also like. the fact that he learned this not from an institution or a grisha specialist but from his mother. it's just v important to me #rip aditi hilli you were a real one

Today.............. has genuinely. Been. A Day.

Have some OC doodles I started yesterday before tragedy struck and are like the bare minimum effort for today to finish. Since the two princes were originally not /in canon/ for another plot but rather made for a mafia AU as cousins to one of the main characters for the base plot. I was like. Huh let's give them a happier life. So here they're just princes and instead of the police department/detectives that most of the main cast is in base plot, those are the royal guards around the twins' castle.

#my characters #the funny thing is that the princes are like......... made for an au of another plot #and here they are in another au of the plot #so like yeehaw everyone i love my ocs and i love putting them in situations #also idk what its worth but hey happy pride atticus is trans im proud of him #it has zero relevance to the plot but its important to me that hes trans #he also is like.... an absolute bundle of friendliness which is a huge contrast to the twins cousin #who is extremely stoic for the most part and finds it hard to feel emotions and thinks #everyone feels the same way all the time like him - WHICH IS DEPRESSED BY THE WAY #but he learns that ah nope thats just him and oh hes better by the power of love #and he doesnt actually get it ?? like in canon or mafia or as a prince hes just like #huh i like this guy and he makes me want to smile which is really odd im gonna stay by him if i can #and doesnt even realize right away hes fallen in love #atticus and caspian however are very aware of their emotions and are v happy to see their cousin feel things #and are constantly there to tease him but support him and help him and theyre all good boys #ill shut up in the tags now bc the tags are taking me as long to type as the art took to doodle

fanfic readers/writers, i have an important question

Is it considered weird/cringey if writers mention real-life brands in their fics? especially if the source material used a fake name to represent the brand?

for example, a tv show called am in-universe soda brand "choco cola", but a fanfic about the tv show calls the SAME DRINK that the characters called choco cola now "coca cola".

(inspired by me reading a persona 5 fanfic where the gang calls it "disneyland" instead of the in-universe name of "destinyland" and it weirded me out a lil. i wanna see if others have the same problem)

#dop rants #ao3 stuff #ao3 #ao3feed #ao3 fanfic #ao3 writer #fanfic #archive of our own #fanfiction #ao3 memes #ao3fic #persona 5 #i mean i mentioned it and theres a lot of p5 fanfic writers who might be able to answer my v important question #also has anyone else but me noticed how older tv shows from like. the 80s took GREAT STRIDES to not mention brands in their tv shows? #like i was watching the show Chuck (gr8 show btw highly recc) and chuck was eating a bowl of like. fruity bunches or w/ever it was called #it made me think about how if Chuck was made in modern day kelloggs wouldve been JUMPING at the chance for beloved tv show character Chuck #to mention froot loops in the actual show. idk maybe it has something to do w/ how i was watching a review of “he's all that” where the yte #pointed out ALL the brands mentioned in the movie. and it was. a lot. jeez. #maybe im just excessively trained to spot when a show/movie is advertising to me just so my body can physically cringe at it

I would love to hear your angsty macsummers headcanons 👀

YEEEAHHHHHH let's get INTO IIITTTT!!! I wanna say these sort of -- build up a little, maybe :3c I hope you like them!!!

Lenny isn't really one to talk about his feelings - he might have the words, but he still doesn't really know how to, when it comes to the more negative and deep-seated stuff. King of intellectualizing his emotions fr.

The only person who ever really gets him is Sean, who wears his heart on his sleeve.

It's not even that Sean tries very hard to understand Lenny; but he has the ability to get straight to the point where Lenny flounders or gets avoidant.

Similarly, when Sean starts blustering and distancing himself from the truly vulnerable parts of himself, Lenny can see right through it.

What really first drew Lenny to Sean was his openness about his father; the common ground of having lost theirs in such violent ways. It's the first time Lenny tells anyone what he did in retaliation, and how he did it - Sean responds in neither horror nor pity, but with a sense of vicarious satisfaction and maybe just a little jealousy. They share a drink in quiet celebration of the karmic retribution delivered by Lenny's hands, and it's the least complicated anything has been for him in a long time.

Sean's story feels heavy with unfinished business, in comparison; turns sweet liquor sour to hear of a man shot in his bed. Lenny indulges him, lets him talk about his father at length, and feels his own sting of jealousy at how close it seems they were - reminded of his own father's words in the letter he still has from him. He's not sure he ever fully understood the 'more tutor than father' line before meeting Sean.

Nightmares; when Sean isn't blacked out to the world from either drink or exhaustion, he has them. Usually he dreams of waking up to his father's dead body, though that has certainly morphed over the years through the death and injury he's witnessed since. It's not uncommon for him to dream about Lenny being dead, now, and waking up panting and panicked just to see Lenny next to him - Sean usually curls right up against him before trying to get some more sleep.

Conversely, Lenny only has nightmares after experiencing something really bad - Sean usually is woken up by Lenny though, and is there to comfort him after.

When Sean returns from the bounty hunters, he spends the first night drinking, partying, and partially avoiding Lenny. He's overly successful as Lenny is gone for the next couple days with Micah, and then gets taken out to drink with Arthur.

By the time Lenny DOES approach Sean and asks to talk, Sean is on the verge of exploding. He doesn't WANT to talk about it, he wants to move on with his life, but he has been anticipating Lenny's question and barely needs to be prodded before he's spilling his guts out.

He tells Lenny about the haze of pain and confusion, about how he had no idea how much time passed prior to getting out - it could've been days or months as far as he was aware. Sean isn't really sure what all they did for the duration he was there - he just knows he was in pain for the most of it, when he wasn't unconscious, and that the burning and pulling was among the easier things to bear.

Lenny asks Sean if he's thinking of leaving, after all that. Sean says no, and Lenny has no idea why he's vaguely disappointed. They both know something is left unsaid there, but neither can bring themselves to push it or bring it up again.

Lenny does still notice how unsteady Sean is on his feet in the time after, at Horseshoe; he does his best to make sure Sean has somewhere to sit down nearby, if he needs it. He also notices how Sean's struggling to eat, and speaks to Pearson about cutting everything in the stew into smaller pieces for a while - he also makes sure there's softer snacks for Sean in the meantime.

When Sean dies, Lenny shuts down in what ways he can. He has never figured out how to handle grief without vengeance, without anger, and when there is no revenge left to take, he has no idea how to handle it. So he just gets quiet.

He was the same when Jenny died, but with Sean it's worse - Lenny becomes a lot more withdrawn, to the point that people notice.

Several of his friends in the gang try to check up on him, but Lenny brushes them off - doesn't want to talk about it. He keeps up with the day-to-day because he doesn't know what else to do, a sort of distant dissociation carrying him through it.

When he has a moment of quiet, he doesn't even know how to identify what he's feeling, he just feels-- empty.

Where before he was foolhardy now he's reckless - borderline careless - with himself. It's not that he wants to die but the rush of adrenaline is one of the purest feelings he has left, not waterlogged by the reminder of his person not being there anymore.

It doesn't help, in the long run - remembering just hits harder once the thrill fades.

#some of these are literally canon based on behavior and whatnot but still. aint nobody else talkin bout lenny withdrawing like he does #maybe ill get into it more one day but for now take this #also i decided to not do like. unrequited crushes or anything like that for these. lets stay rooted in character analysis & narrative lol #ts what i do best i think!! i hope it lived up to your expectations ;;w;; #also SORRY for taking so long w these asks this week is being Such A Week for me!!! but i love em pls keep sending them to me lol #love any excuse i can get to think and talk about either of these boys #also i was STRAINING not to include karen more explicitly in some of these but i know that's not what was asked for mjnbhnjbh #she's just v special to me and just as important to sean and lenny even if theyre not kissing her. theyre like a trio to me #ANNYYYWAAAYYYY #sean macguire #lenny summers #lenny x sean #sean x lenny #macsummers #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 headcanons #teki talks #long post #asks #rdr asks #meta asks #ship asks #ship posting

I love when a hyperfixation on a character sends me into a research rabbithole about the culture that character comes from, like yes bitch we're taking part in cultural appreciation todayyyyy

#beastiebites #one of the npcs from mhc is korean with immigrant parents #and hes also currently my hyperfixation guy so I'm doing research into traditional korean clothing to do designs for an au #fantasy au mhc my beloved <3 #the impulse for me was to go with typical european fantasy fashion but i wanna honor the culture he comes from too #even if its just a goofy au that only me and the mhc crew will be into #also i was gonna have to do research anyway because even in the og story his culture is something that is important to him #because he loves his family and loves the traditions they've taught him #and ill be damned if i dont depict the culture with the utmost respect i can even if in the grande scheme of things #very few people will know about the story and characters #personal accountability to try my best to respect and depict other cultures as respectfully as possible is v strong in my head

hi so i was thinking about revenger again today and even though i've talked about this before i can't not talk about it again

i am usually not the type to complain about translations (unless it is something especially egregious such as the yuzuki-san ep1 debacle) and i wouldn't even call this a complaint really

but something so significant and so beautiful was lost in translation in ep8 of revenger

this is the relevant scene:

background for context:

raizou (black hair here) is on a quest for revenge after the death of his wife (the woman in the painting, which raizou painted himself) and he's taken on 'taishin' as a pseudonym to sell his art (for which he discovered a talent and passion during this revenge quest)

his wife's name was yui, and white hair here (the leader of this ragtag band of revengers) is named usui yuen

all of this is relevant

the main issue here is... the character 唯, which was originally written on the painting, has been translated as 'tai' which later becomes 'taishin' when raizou adds a few strokes and a second character to form his pseudonym

but what is 唯 actually? it's... yui

the original character on the painting, 唯, is his wife's name. and usui's name? 碓氷幽烟

key character being: 碓

the subtitles do capture the significance of raizou taking a character from usui's name to make his pseudonym, and that's great. but that isn't all he did. with two strokes he changed the 口 to a 石, he changed his wife's name into a character from usui's name and then added a 心 (heart!) to make it his own

there are a whole lot of reasons this is Special to me but that would require going into the rest of the show which i won't do lol, the dynamics are fascinating but this post is already getting way too long

anyway i just think this is a suuuper normal and well-adjusted thing he did there, didn't alter my brain chemistry at all (lying) and i just need more people to know about it because i think the subs (while doing imo as best as they could!) really did not make it possible for most viewers to catch this

#revenger #SORRY FOR BEING UNUSUAL ABOUT THIS YET AGAIN #I NEED PEOPLE TO KNOW!! IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME!!! #if you're feeling deja vu yes i've posted about this before but was just feeling unwell (positive) about it again today #there's a lot of other context that makes all this more Significant and Beautiful #but this is the one bit that i'm like HELLO?? HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS??? #anyway. ahem. good show meh ending (to me) and v v v fascinating character dynamics #btw i'm very &/ about raizou and usui so this isn't even ship propaganda #there is a significance in whatever they've got going on that transcends that tbh

[sualne]

'Women' except they actually explain what they meant.

Hits Andy and Sam with the transgenderification beam so that they can have a conversation that goes something along the lines of

Sam: Yeah, I try to keep up with my shots but it’s kind of hard with the whole roaming the country hunting monsters things.

Andy: woah. okay. That seems. Bad. And kind of unhealthy? Wait here.

Andy: (walks into a pharmacy and asks for some testosterone pretty please) (what a charming young man they give him everything he asks for) (brings it back to share with Sam)

And they r shot buddies now :)

#it’s v important to me okay #it’s my au and I will transgenderificate whichever characters I do please #who doesn’t want a psychic friend who can get you hormones with his powers? #who doesn’t want to be the psychic friend who distributes hormones he got with his powers? #Max’s descent into immorality was through murder.

One thing about me is before Alfonse and Sharena became The Proxies it was actually Takumi and Corrin with a side of Sakura.

#there'd be some focus on the hoshido family as a whole too but it was mainly those three. #but i think bc takumi accidentally became such a personal proxy for me. it's actually v hard to revisit him at times #i still adore him so much he's v special to me. and ofc i love him as a standalone character too he's so funny #not to sound to silly but i almost feel guilty about it too like takumi i'm so sorry........ #knowing who you are as a character i am so sorry. you are still so special and so important #but maybe the solution is just. he's minding his own business now. he starts seeing what #moe and alfonse have going on and is like you know what. i'm gonna head out. you guys are insane #i think they're all still friends but takumi has his own problems. he's not looking for new ones.
