Is there something in your EW au that nobody's ever asked you and you wanna talk about? Like a fun little detail or a scene/plot that didnt make it to the comic or something you wanted to do but couldnt because plot decided to go in a different direction so you had to change it up
One thing I can’t wait to get to, that I don’t get to talk about enough, is the meat of Leo and Splinter’s relationship. Leo and Splinter always have this special tie in all of the different iterations, but most of the time, this means they bond over ninjutsu and being buzz kills (<-that is a joke).
In the Rise universe, the writers changed Splinter and Leo fundamentally so much, but kept the constant that Leo is still the most like Splinter!….Only now, it’s in all the ways that kinda make them disasters. Instead of dependable master ninja, now, both are obnoxious showmen, avoidant when it most suits them, and smooth talkers. Leo thinks he’s Splinter’s least favorite, but he’s just as much Splinter Junior as all the other Leo’s. I love this consistency in change.
SO in EW, where Leo hates Splinter, we’ll get to see how that relationship works now—with Leo having worked hard under Saki to stamp these very traits out of his personality (and where he failed). And we’ll even see some of Splint’s old, unhealthy coping mechanisms/mental struggles be inherited by Leo, once he gets back home.

Things that are official TMNT 2003 canon
Leonardo has the longest list of favorite foods, including rice, fish, salads, apples, and pizza (funnily enough, the list doesn't include sushi, although Donatello says in his profile that it's one of his favorites, alongside pizza)
Leonardo hangs Japanese lanterns in his room to make it more relaxing. He's also the only turtle to sleep in a traditional Japanese futon.
Raphael is the only turtle who doesn't have pizza listed as one of/his favorite food. (His favorite food is cereal.)
He also insists that the original Jurassic Park book is better than the movie. (I mean isn't the book always better than the movie?)
Raphael sleeps in a hammock because "sleeping on a mattress is for wimps." It should be noted that there are pillows beneath it, meaning he probably falls out of it on a regular basis.
One of Donatello's nicknames is actually spelled "Donny," not "Donnie" as it tends to be within the fanbase.
Donatello keeps a photo of April in his room, stating "she's kinda nice to have around." (I don't ship 03 Apriltello for obvious reasons, but there's no denying he had a puppy crush on her.)
Michelangelo is a Jimmy Buffet fan while Donatello is stated to enjoy The Roches.
Michelangelo has a drum set in his room that he plays "all night." He also has a working jukebox.
April likes most music. Except opera. She doesn't like opera.
April's hobbies include antiquing, martial arts, reading, and "talking to interesting people."
Casey likes Mexican and Italian food, along with pretzels and... beverages. He was definitely going to say beer.
Casey also apparently likes Mike Hammer books.
Shredder's favorite colors, in his own words: "Purple, the color of royalty, as it befits me. Black, the color of the void that only I can fill. Red, as it flows from the lifeless bodies of my enemies!"
Oroku "Food is a disease" Saki
Either Hun has a sweet tooth or there's a big pun going on here because his favorite food? Pound cake. (He also wants you to just call him "sir.")

Future Wondershow!!
Everything is amazing and ideal because I cannot handle a sad ending between them they're my lifeline
--
Tsukasa and Nene are young skilled up-rising stars in both theatre and film industry who both are rapidly growing at an incredible rate due to their natural charisma, their history of already having a quite successful troupe in high school, mixed with both stubborn hard work and willingness/ideas to do insane shit due to being under Rui's direction for so long.
Rui is also an up-rising director who took the world by storm at how innovative his directing is in a field that's lacking in passion recently. Mixed with everything I've stated for Nene and Tsukasa too.
Emu took over the theme park business kind of. She's sharing with her brother's still, who's showing her the ropes and the actual mechanism of how everything works. Shosuke and Keisuke had fully embraced Emu's bright ideas and cheery attitude now, both thanks to working with WxS for so long and Emu showing them how capable she actually is, despite her optimistic naivety. The park is running to be as successful as ever, now Emu finally has power to make the changes she knows her grandpa would be proud of.
--
Tsukasa, Nene, and Rui often work together on projects which lead their fan community to be merged in a way. It started off divided, with Tsukasa and Nene fans fighting near constantly due to the two coming into the field at the exact same time, but eventually most of the public know that if one is there, the other two won't be that far behind.
--
Tsukasa, Rui, and Nene often get invited to those fancy parties, (they absolutely do not like it. It's too boring. But they go anyway because they need to build connections and stuff apparently) and every time they have the opportunity to invite a plus one, they drag Emu with. None of them stay at the main hall for long, and they'd drag each other outside to either the balcony or garden and just hang around.
This ALWAYS results in them going viral on some sort of social media, with the press never failing to capture a photo of all four of them hanging about and laughing with each other.
--
Their work often brings them apart a lot of times, and even though they still meet weekly in the SEKAI, it's just not the same.
So once every year, they all clear their schedules completely for a full week or more so they could go on a holiday together. It doesn't really matter where. They could stay at home a lounge for the whole week for all they care. But they still do it just to physically be there with each other.
(bonus point if they invite other friends too. Saki, Toya, Mizuki, etc)
--
Again, schedules and overseas work contrast each other a lot of times if they're all working on a project.
But whenever Rui, Tsukasa, and Nene end up home all at once, unplanned, they all collectively decide to just drag Emu to go out with them to their old restaurant that they always go to after a show in high school.
Emu's employees have gotten used to seeing Emu piggyback riding Rui/Tsukasa at full speed leaving the office that they have an entire protocol that Emu and her brothers made for when it happens.
--
Wondershow would do random livestreams together. Either gaming, or baking, or painting each other's nails. They have no specific genre. They just do it for fun.
Nene would still do singular gaming livestreams still, because it's one of her passions.
--
I have more but the rest is kinda shippy and I wanted to keep this PURELY Wondershow friendship because I love Wondershow friendship so much guys they're everything I hate them
(you can so clearly tell that English isn't my native language in this post. Wow. I'm so sorry I hope it's coherent enough)

project-sekai-facts · 9 months
Note
if you have enough to type a full post about it, could you make one on how project sekai could be a psychological horror if you thought hard enough about it?? it sounds super interesting
Okay like, first off the SEKAI are kinda. Creepy if you think about it. Like yeah this is the embodiment of your feelings. Or a feeling. School SEKAI is a school because a lot of their issues surround school (Saki not being able to attend, the other three distancing themselves during middle school, etc). MMJ gets stages and VBS gets a city because those are good places for them to perform. None of those are too creepy honestly but then you get to Empty and Wonderland and it’s like. Yeah.
Mafuyu’s SEKAI is just fucking Empty. It’s an endless void with a few random objects here and there. And also a marionette that apparently spawned in when the SEKAI was made. Yeah the thing that triggers Mafuyu’s panic attack in Captive Marionette has been in her SEKAI this entire time. Made from her feelings so it’s justified but like that’s not the most pleasant thing. Also the fact that the embodiment of her feelings is a void and it doesn’t really change is just. Harsh.
And Wonderland like it’s just so full. All the plushies that express how Tsukasa feels and all of his childhood memories and feelings everywhere.
SEKAI created by a single person but shared by many aren’t the most private thing ever. But also just having a world dedicated to your emotions is fucked up in itself ESPECIALLY with the one-creator SEKAI. Because like, that’s you. Don’t like it? Fuck you I guess
On top of that there’s the fact that SEKAI don’t disappear after the owner dies. They’re just there now. Someone submitted this to me ages ago and it’s still sitting in my inbox because I want to wait for the 2nd anniversary fes cards to release because they go into more details about this but like. Yeah. That’s so fucked.
The Virtual Singers especially like they don’t age and don’t despawn ever. SEKAI owner dies or never accesses their SEKAI? Alone forever and there’s nothing they can do about it.
Even in school SEKAI it’s a bit unsettling that they are just locked at high school age when the L/n girls are getting older.
Also like the fact that the virtual singers are fully aware that they are different versions of the main virtual singer is kinda weird when you think about it for long enough. It could be really disturbing they should to into that.
And the environments they exist in. Street SEKAI and Wonderland SEKAI Vsingers are lucky because there’s a lot they can do and the SEKAI are really big. School SEKAI has a lot to do there, but it’s an enclosed space and I’m not sure if they can actually go to the outside areas offsite. It’s good that the Stage SEKAI vsingers like performing because it ain’t like there’s anything else they can do except sit in the backstage areas. And Empty SEKAI has nothing to do AT ALL and the girls have to bring in things to give the vsingers something to stimulate them.
Also like the fact they all take from the personalities and emotions of their SEKAI owners is so so disturbing if you think about it for more than three seconds. Like yeah this thing is based on you. It has your personality and will reflect you feelings at times. Like I know the point is that the vocaloids are basically counsellors but like. Damn. Especially for Mafuyu and Tsukasa because those Virtual Singers are just based on aspects of themselves (with a few things from their friends thrown in) which is genuinely really disturbing like I would not like that at all. Also Tsukasa has the plushies as well which are usually used to show how he feels about other people (eg: usachan being Saki as a child and him needing to cheer her up, the cat and dog recreating his and Rui’s conflict in Wonder Halloween).
(Someone sent an ask about the vsingers and who they are derived from in each Sekai hopefully I can finish it this week unless I run out of data)
The idea of the SEKAI changing and the vsingers changing to reflect your emotions and such has just always stuck out to me because sometimes they change to help you and sometimes they change to just copy whatever is happening to you and I think it does whatever it thinks is best for the situation but it’s kinda fucked to think about.
Oh and Miku can wipe your memory that’s definitely one of the creepiest things. Like the unit leaders have met multiple times at this point and never remember it. Minori and Kohane are best friends and have been repeatedly introduced to the concept that they both have SEKAI and repeatedly been mindwiped after that. They could do something with that. So how effective is this mindwiping anyway? If it’s used too many times on one person will it start to affect them (anyone here seen Gravity Falls?)
Also on the topic of memory. Remember in the WxS main story when Tsukasa straight up doesn’t remember significant parts of his childhood but Miku and KAITO do and then drop hints about these memories? Or in immiscible discord when KAITO dumps the truth about Mafuyu’s mother on her when Mafuyu wasn’t aware of it herself (also KAITO had barely been there for any significant time and this is his FIRST interaction with Mafuyu that he drops all this on her). The SEKAI seem to just know any feelings you repress or ignore or forget and I know the SEKAI is like a abstract realisation of thought and feeling so ofc it knows these but it’s still a bit. Weird, I guess. They should flesh this out more.
Oh supposedly you can die in the SEKAI. Possibly by force since there’s one card story where some of the WxS members nearly fall out the flying train and it’s treated as a genuine threat, but also we don’t know for sure. Heavily implied that you can die in the SEKAI from not fulfilling basic needs (eating or drinking), since Mafuyu considers disappearing into the SEKAI at one point and it doesn’t seem like she took those with her nor do they naturally exist in the SEKAI. Side note what happens if someone dies in SEKAI? Does it kick them out like it does when their phone dies or dows it just leave them there?
Don’t even get me started on untitled like it’s another embodiment of feelings is actually a bit disturbing thing but as far as we know you get one untitled. That’s it. Have you seen the lyrics on some of these (also out of universe note, the producers weren’t given huge amounts of information about the characters and story so like. Accuracy of the lyricw varies). Kuyamu to Kaite Mirai particularly. Like. What happens if Mafuyu actually does manage to make significant recovery? Is she just stuck with “I want to die, I want to disappear, there’s nothing left for me here” (did i get the lyric right?).
Oh my god I almost forgot about stage sekai. Endless void :( Of stages :). At least they have something to do there, I guess? Also can we talk about the audience that’s there let’s talk about the audience okay I think it might be an instance of the writing leaning on the 4th wall and maybe the audience is the virtual show audience with the little box avatar things or maybe there’s an actual audience and if so where the fuck do they go when there’s not performances? Oh and the fact that vlives are considered canon which means every sekai just has these little box people going in and out to watch them sing that’s just another weird thing.
And apparently there’s people in street SEKAI too like MEIKO talks about buying things in town and stuff even though most of the buildings look abandoned?
This isn’t even psychological horror but. Ghosts real. Only Mafuyu can see them. Okay maybe you could make that into more of a psychological horror thing.
Anyone remember when Akito’s fragment sekai gave him amnesia? Or the fact that characters have met themselves in fragment sekai.
Tl;dr I think sekai have untapped horror potential

Tsukasa Tenma
3.5k
I've mentioned it before but WxS is the group I would consider to be the least close on a personal level. It's complicated to put into words. They clearly love and treasure each other dearly and Our Happy Ending really works to show us just how much their friendship means to them and how broken they would be without it. But despite that there's still barriers. I come back to what Rui said in KAITO's initial card about how he and Tsukasa aren't the kind of close friends who talk about their childhood memories. Like... how to put this. WonderlandsxShowtime is an incredibly tight-knit and valued circle of friendship, but Tsukasa in particular very rarely divulges information about his past. Mainly in regards as to how he came to be like this, like Tsukasa. They know about the shows and that he wanted to make Saki smile but there's those small personal details that are only known because of Toya telling Rui about them.
WxS is incredibly important to Tsukasa, Our Happy Ending is evidence enough of that in that he actually broke down crying for the 3 whole seconds they were disbanded. I think it's more obvious that they're important on a professional level (thanking Emu for hiring him in OHE, thanking Rui for being their director in the connect live), but he does care about them on a personal level he's just less vocal about that part. It's still very obviously there but just not explicitly in the words "I love my friends thank you for being with me", and by no means does it need to be. Maybe the audience interpretation is not helped by the fact that Tsukasa is somewhat single-minded about theatre. He throws himself all into that - theatre comes first, evidenced by Phoenix where he neglects his health for the sake of a role and his development. As well as this there's the fact he tries to tackle most of his challenges alone, rather than asking for help. He goes into tunnel vision when theatre is concerned, although it has been stated a few times that his childhood experiences very much did shape who he is, and I do wonder if having to take care of himself so often from such a young age plays into his mindset of having to do things on his own, even when he encourages his friends to do the opposite. However, over time he is gradually learning to, well, learn from other people. He's got WxS and he's got other actors around him to help him, and he is learning that he can rely on them when he hits roadblocks. A star shines brighter because of those around him, a lesson he learnt well in the main story.
And while there isn't really anything to confirm this, I get the feeling that part of the reason he never got an event covering his feelings over the disbandment and overall seemed to be far more ok with the idea is maybe because he's a realist in some ways. As I said, nothing to actually suggest this, mainly just thinking what would make sense given his childhood where he was constantly exposed to the harsher things in life through Saki being in hospital for a lot of it. That said, he kinda just doesn't like to think about negative things. We see him faced with the possibility of the group disbanding a few times, but his reaction is always to worry about it later, and enjoy it now. Or something along those lines. Like think about in Dazzling Light where it takes him a while to realise that actually he used the piano when he was lonely the same way Torpe used the stars. Or in Phoenix at the Sky's Edge where he has to force himself to break down in defeat and accept that he isn't as good as his peers.
As I said, WxS are important friends to him, even if he usually only vocalises this on a professional level. Like even if it isn't said it's obvious by his actions that they mean something personally. He respects Emu's wishes to make people smile over everything because they align with his own. Both of their dreams were sparked by a loved one that they treasure dearly and with their whole heart. He wants Emu to be happy as well, and wants her to be more open with the troupe (Smile of Dreamer), and in Wonder Magical Showtime, he put the competition that could get him a head start in his career aside for Emu's dreams to uphold her grandfather's legacy, knowing full well that he was giving up an opportunity for himself. It was a completely selfless act for her benefit.
He respects Nene's talent and aspirations, and again they align with his own, to be able to be good enough to see stages worldwide. Even if they bicker, he does care about her, checking in on her at school to see how she's doing in her new class (Hello Good Day), and encouraging her as she improves her singing and works towards her dreams. He gets genuinely worried for her and not just the show in Holy Night when she hits a roadblock with her singing. Admittedly I think their relationship is a little less defined that Tsukasa's relationships with Emu and Rui, but also I am going off memory on this one so it might just be that I remember Nene events less. Nonetheless, they have a lot of respect for each other, despite their bickering and Nene usually acting annoyed at him, they are still close friends who are important to each other both personally and professionally. Due to them being the main actors of the group as well, they naturally fall into that respectful and friendly rivalry. Both of them are incredibly talented and can see each other's abilities as a goal to work towards, though this is more defined from Nene's side, given she's slightly more focused on the singing side of things over acting.
Skipping over the relationships that don’t involve Tsukasa and going straight to Rui because, well, this is an analysis of Tsukasa. But, how to put it, it feels like Tsukasa and Rui’s relationship might be one of the most misunderstood within WxS? Like maybe it’s because they’re the designated comedy duo as Oddball 1-2, but also there’s like 2 and a bit events dedicated to it so I dunno. Anyway.
Tsukasa dislikes the Oddball 1-2 bit because he doesn’t like getting in trouble at school. In 2nd year he was the class president and in 3rd year he joined the disciplinary committee because he didn’t like the fact he had a bad reputation and was supposedly (definitely) considered a problem child. He adamantly refuses that he is a problem child and wants to be a responsible model student. That's the issue he has with it. He actually doesn't actually mind doing all of Rui's stunts even if he does complain sometimes, because he knows even if they sound dangerous Rui wouldn't do something that would get him hurt (Wonder Halloween).
Tsukasa's relationship with Rui is built on a mutual trust, because obviously as an actor and director they have to be able to understand and work with each other (Curtain Call). Tsukasa trusts that Rui will help him to shine, Rui trusts that Tsukasa will perform under his direction to 12000%, and they trust each other to put on the greatest show together. And again respect comes into play because of their aligned goals. That said their relationship isn't strictly limited to the professional side and Pandemonium is definitely the biggest game changer in that aspect. Actually while everyone talks about the end there's actually a couple earlier scenes that are needed to add the full context of it, even if the event is mostly from Rui's POV. Actually the most important scene is probably the part where Shizuku tells an anecdote about her and Tsukasa as kids and then mentions that Tsukasa is the kind of person who really loves his friends, and then Rui realises that Tsukasa had been looking out for him the entire trip and making sure he was getting along with his classmates. So even if it's not from the POV of Tsukasa himself, it's very clear that Tsukasa does care about Rui a lot and values him as both a good friend and a director. They actually become significantly closer after this event if recent interactions are anything to go by (Tsukasa's new 2* has them going shopping together, something Emu and Nene do often who were always closer friends than the boys were).
I don't think the scene at the end was one-sided either. Even though Rui says that he was able to change because of Tsukasa, what Tsukasa said in response isn't wrong. He accepted Rui's thanks, but he still turns it back on him because it's true that even if Tsukasa gave him the chance to stand on stage, Rui never would've actually changed if he didn't take his hand. Tsukasa's pretty selfless when it comes to the people in his life. While yes, he can be selfish sometimes about his dreams, but that's just what you have to do when you're passionate about something. With people it's different. He does the same thing with Saki, and a few other characters. Tsukasa has positively impacted the lives of multiple characters but when it's pointed out to him he will find a way to turn the situation on its head and find how those people took what he gave them and helped themself with it because that's just who he is. He's happy to see his friends happy and will point out their good points that they fail to notice. Tsukasa didn't need to talk about his own experiences then either. That would be very out-of-character for him. It wasn't his moment to share, not to mention he doesn't talk about that sort of stuff to anyone but his family. It was Rui's moment to express his gratitude and Tsukasa's moment to accept it, not unload his trauma (also, it was a Rui event).
I think part of the reason Tsukasa's events are heavily focused on him and only him when the others get events that are more tied to their relationships with the unit is simply because his arc is more closely linked to his personal growth in regards to acting. While Emu had plenty of friends, she didn't have anyone at Wonder Stage with her, she needed people to take her dream seriously. Rui had been outcast by everyone around him and just needed friends to accept him for who he was. Nene was shy and needed an outlet to rediscover her passion for theatre and people to encourage her to push through the past trauma holding her back. WxS obviously was what set off Tsukasa becoming a better person, but he always has dealt with everything personal alone. Even in the main story after WxS split, he went to the SEKAI and had to unpack his childhood memories by himself (I guess a plushie did help him out actually), and he had to get Emu back by himself.
Rui and Emu's events are especially slightly more focused on their relationships with the unit, because they're the ones who have always been pretty satisfied with where they are. They have their dreams, and they're working towards them. But what has always been the most important for them has always been having friends who truly accept them and take them seriously. That's why they were the ones who got the events focused on the possibility of the unit disbanding. Because WxS is especially dear to them.
On the other hand, Nene and Tsukasa are the ones with huge dreams of a worldwide stage. It's clear Nene wants to go to Broadway (fes card), and Tsukasa mentions wanting to go abroad multiple times. Their events are always focused on them honing their talents and skills to get closer to that dream. However there is a stark difference in how they do it. While Nene still often works on her own, she's always been pushed forwards by the others, she knows she can rely on them, and she even got to meet her idol and be mentored by her. She's got a stable (professional) support system and knows that there's people to help her out even if the work is something only she can do.
Tsukasa is the opposite - he tries to deal with problems alone. He doesn't take help until he's pushed himself as far as he can alone, he lies to Saki when she's worried about him. As I said earlier, it genuinely does seem like he feels he cannot accept help, that he has to work alone. Because the game makes it very clear that Saki is massively important to him, she is literally what sparked his dream in the first place, him lying to her is a big out of character moment for him. Phoenix makes it very clear that his craft comes first, but he also has a very unhealthy mindset when it comes to some of the roadblocks he faces in said craft.
The thing you have to remember is that all of this comes from Saki. Specifically, the situation she and her family were in way back when. Saki was chronically ill, and she had to be away all the time. It was all completely out of her control. However, in one instance of her being home, Tsukasa saw how happy she was at a play, and he built his entire life around that. And obviously as Saki's illness worsened, he started to develop a persona to make himself more confident and mature. He had to take care of himself even when he was a kid because of how often he was left in the house alone. Not to stray too far into speculation, but the thing is when these sorts of things happen at such a young age they will start to mesh with who you are. Because you are growing and if you're having to be completely independent and put on a persona to act in an ideal way, that is going to grow into you. And it very clearly did, just read the main story and it's clear that persona and idea of being independent got to his head. It's also clear that he pushed a lot of what actually caused those things to happen to the back of his mind, the SEKAI existing is proof he never really forgot, but he pushed it away for some reason, presumably because it isn't a nice thing to think about. It's never outright confirmed, but to me it seems pretty clear that the things that happened in his childhood shaped how he acts now.
Actually, a lot of his arc outside of him improving as an actor is about learning the lesson that he cannot do everything alone, and that there are people here to support him. It's what Rui teaches him in the main story when he leaves: Tsukasa cannot become a star on his own. When Tsukasa runs into roadblocks he usually will try to deal with them on his own at first, which is what most people would do, of course. However he tends to really push his limits before he accepts help, because he's stubborn, and it's frustrating that he can't work out how to get into character for certain roles. But there's a very clear development in how he accepts help. Compare the main story, where he only cared about himself and couldn't work well with other people, to Phoenix, where he's surrounded by people to support him and is able to openly show his insecurity to them. However, there's a certain disconnect between his personal and professional sides; even as he learns to open up about his problems, they're specifically his professional ones.
I think the reason his relationship with WxS is less obviously important, with you instead having to read a bit between the lines to see it does go deeper than just coworkers, is simply because Tsukasa isn't good at dealing with his emotions, mainly regarding his past (also, as I've said, he just never really vocalises it). He was worried for Saki but he had to be brave for her, he had to be happy so she could be happy, he couldn't be vulnerable because a good big brother isn't vulnerable, so he created a persona for himself. He had to take care of himself and was lonely so often, but Saki had it worse, so he would play the piano and then he pushed the experience aside when it was all over. Even if Saki had it worse, Tsukasa didn't have it good. And as I said, he pushes it aside. He rarely talks about his childhood. Saki and Toya obviously know, and Rui knows what Toya told him, but Tsukasa just never brings it up to anyone outside of his family. He's not great at processing his emotions. I think all of that sort of builds up an emotional wall between him and WxS that just makes him seem less close in a way. It's there, the closeness is there but it's limited by the fact he holds so much back compared to everyone else. There's a lot of things they don't know about him that so far has had to come from a third person (that being Toya in a couple area conversations and Never Give Up Cooking).
And, of course, it does make sense that he was able to grow closer to WxS through theatre, considering just how much of his life it takes up. Theatre is so so much to him, so it's no wonder that as he learns to open up about how he feels, the feelings that he opens up about connect to his craft. But it's that, the fact that it's all theatre. It takes up so much of who he is, which is by no means whatsoever a bad thing, but there's still a lack of his life beyond that. The phrasing there is a bit misleading, so let's put it this way: obviously WxS and we as the audience know he's an excellent older brother, he's incredibly kind and loves and cares for his friends so much, he gets pretty good grades in school but he does cram, he's loud and bombastic and loves being in the limelight, and most importantly he loves theatre, and wants to make people smile just like his sister did way back when. But then only his family and we as the audience know about the other things from his past, like how much of a toll Saki being in hospital took on him, how he was lonely, the extent to what the piano means to him. Pretty much all of what WxS knows about him is about him now. They don't know much about his past outside what they've been told by other people. You don't have to know about someone's past to be their friend, but knowing about their past can help you to understand them better, their inner workings and how their past shaped them into who they are now. It can help you to develop a deeper personal connection. Even if they don't get a whole event and it's only mentioned in passing, like Kohane for example (though it's plot relevant for her), every other character has discussed their past with their unit, be it their childhood or only a year before the game is set. Tsukasa is the only character who has his past shown and talked about who doesn't ever talk about it with his unit (outside the basics of Saki and shows). We're shown more than quite a few characters get but these scenes are only for the audience and his family to know about, not his friends.
Come Our Happy Ending, Tsukasa's relationships with the others is clearly an important one. There's a reason he's broken up by the very real possibility of the group splitting up. As I said, he tends not to dwell on the negatives, he always pushes those aside unless he has no choice but to face them, and this was one of those times he had no choice. WxS has given him so many opportunities as both a craftsman and as a person. He's a better person because of them, he's changed because of them, he's closer to his dream than ever before because of them. Even if he doesn't always vocalise this, even if he still puts up walls and limits how close their relationships can be, those relationships are still nonetheless valuable to him. As said by Shizuku, Tsukasa is someone who really loves and treasures his friends, his friends and family are the most important people to him. Despite how bombastic of a character he is, he's extremely nuanced and there's a lot of subtlety when it comes to how his experiences and the people in his life affect him. He just needs to be a bit more open to talk.

I'm very Filament Fever mood
I want to interpret the filament fever song using Tsukasa as the POV
I'm doing it per paragraph and using the english translation from the wiki cause the official is kinda a tad bit off.
When I was still young, whenever I started dreaming, my heart would beat faster.
What I'm still longing for, my hand reaches for it.
> When Tsukasa was a kid he always wants to make his sister smile. So "Reach my hands towards the things he longed for" is Tsukasa doing his best to make Saki and people around him smile.
Seems like I can do anything I wish,
In a showtime that resembles magic itself.
Seems like I can become anyone I wish,
Even the hero that manages to make you laugh.
> This part talks about the shows Tsukasa makes. With shows, Tsukasa can be anything he wants. The most important one would be "The hero that makes you laugh".
It's awfully dramatic and sparkly,
But also so lonely...
My feelings are simply doing loop-de-loops,
I'm a total failure, an utterly hopeless person.
I'm still searching for my ideal today,
I wish I could be more like you.
> This can be about Tsukasa behind the scenes. While he can be amazing during the shows, he does struggles by himself. There's some self loathing but he still kept going to be what he wants and to be just like the star Tsukasa admires.
Be captivated by the sensitivity and sensation and shine!
Even if you can't see tomorrow, don't be scared.
At an instance of resonance, the filament illuminates this world! Now!
Let's discover a piece of that talent.
> Tsukasa use his feelings and inspiration to grow. In addition, the feelings will also help him stop his fear and doubts. The filament is use because it can shine the world. That is what Tsukasa wants to be but it's also what Tsukasa can do. He has the talent. Tsukasa is the filament.
Tumblr media
Gradually, it's coming true, it's not just a dream anymore,
Won't you be the only one to believe in who I really am?
Gradually, it's coming true, it's not just a dream anymore,
There's a fever rising from my heart, our potential.
> This part feels like WXS centric. The dreams that Tsukasa has is slowly coming true. What he wants is for his trope to support his journey and he wants them to trust him too. As Tsukasa is growing wxs also growing alongside with him.
Running away from the changing flow of time,
I have forgotten even who I was.
But still, I just wouldn't let go of my longing.
> You could say that this is about Tsukasa before the main story. Tsukasa makes shows for so long he forgot why he did in the first place. Thus its similar to him losing himself. But he still wants to be a star. He may forget the main reason that he wants to be star but he never gave up the aim of wanting to be a star.
No matter how many times I throw my hands up in defeat and find myself feeling down,
I still don't want to write a reportage.
Even my feelings, all of them can be placed here,
The expression only I can make.
> Tsukasa struggles a lot but he doesn't want to dwell on it. He used the emotions he has to express himself instead. Aka his acting. Similar with how he did it with his role as Rio.
Be captivated by the spectacle and sensation and shine!
My hands may be littered with scars, yet they aren't in pain.
Delicate yet vivid, the filament illuminates this world! Ah!
I wish that I could say it was chance and fate.
> By growing and overcoming, the struggles Tsukasa has getting there feels like nothing of importance. Tsukasa as an actor is shining brighter and instead of thinking it as a coincidence he manage to get there, he wants to think that he is destined to be a star.
It's not a flashy, eccentric show,
But isn't this exactly what a real show is?
Props and backlights can't deceive anyone,
If possible, let's check their characteristics.
> I'm dividing this part to two since it's long. I kinda think it's about what Tsukasa's shows tend to be. Tsukasa isn't as great of a director like Rui but he still direct his shows. What he prioritize more is the acting and performance.
The show he made isn't high quality as he mention in his latest event on chapter 6. But he still manages to convey his performance towards his audience and that is what important to him.
Don't throw away those inner details,
Though I'm sure no one would notice the difference.
But even fake and surreal things get boring,
So that's a big problem for us.
> The "details " can be interpret as the roles. The characters on the stage. Like how Tsukasa does with Nakayama. He act as Nakayama even in his thoughts so no one actually notice that act that he made but he still doing it.
As for the "fake and surreal things gets boring" I think it means that Tsukasa wants to make the character he plays as real as possible and doesn't want to make his character feel fake. Such as how he doesn't want to just copy other Rio contestants just because he is desperate (phoenix event chapter 6).
Today, again, my heart burns as it lights up,
Such an ordinary thing, yet it thrusts me forward, gets me to move.
The song I longed for, what I've been eyeing for so long,
Ah! To remember it-
> Tsukasa's goal of wanting to be a star is the reason why he keeps growing and moving forward. I just don't know what to think about the song and why Tsukasa wants to remember it tho. What "song" does he want to remember?
....
Tumblr media
Anyways that's all from me, it's just how I interpret so it could be different from anyone else perspective of the song.

Hello! Hope you are doing okay if you still receive a lot of requests! I've came accross your blog and wondered if you could do short OS about a reader who happens to have a lot of nosebleed out of nowhere. Since I stopped taking some meds last year I had this side effect of always getting awful nosebleed randomly and always at work... The pronouns can be neutral I don't mind since maybe other people may relate to that! With Len, Tsukasa and Rui. (project sekai). Thanks!
Of course! And like I know you asked for short one-shot but it turned out a bit too short for me but I don't know what else I can add so... sorry for that and hopefully you'll still like it <3
Len, Tsukasa, Rui with reader who gets nosebleeds
TagList: @bleachtheidiot @alicewinterwonderland @yulikesminori @kuzui5201314 @indi-has-fallen @vodka-glrl
Tumblr media
You and Len were most likely just chilling on couch while both of you were doing something on your phones. Of course you still kept contact like handholding or even cuddling slightly.
Len came across something interesting and immidietly wanted to show it to you! But that's when he noticed you're bleeding from your nose...
"Y/N... your... nose... it's... bleeding..."
He really panics a bit about this whole situation, but minute after few deep breaths, he'll finally bring you box of tissues and most likely will run around all the people he knows asking for help. As he should tho because he's still sure you get nosebleeds when you look at something you like or so 😭
But once everything is settled and he calms down for real, he'll just ask you what he should do as he really doesn't know what else he may do than give you box of tissues.
"Uhhh that's good? I can get you a bit more tissues if you need! Or... um... what else do you need?"
Tumblr media
Tsukasa just came back to his room after Saki called him to close the door behind her sine she's in hurry, and that's when he saw your nosebleed...
"Hey Y/N! Sorry for taking so lo- ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!"
He really knows nosebleeds aren't anything this serious but this information was covered by the panic he felt in that moment. He literally panicked so much he was literally about to call for hospital. So you need to call him down in first minute... but once he does, he's way calmer and finally just beings you package of tissues.
"There, do you want me to bring anyrhing more?"
He's really just there and probably rambles like he usually does to maybe keep you occupied a bit and get you to focus in something better than nosebleeds.
Tumblr media
When you and Rui were cuddling together, you randomly took few tissues so of course he got worried about you....
"Hm? Darling, are you alright?"
"Yeah, just a nosebleed..."
"Oh I see... Do you know what might be the reason for it? Or did it just came randomly?"
He really just wants to know as much as he can to hopefully know with what he needs to watch over with you. If it's really just random and you don't know the reaont then he'll just try to observe you and hopefully figure it out himself. If you do know the reason tho, he'll kinda be like your mom just watching over you.
"Y/N... we talked about this.... we don't want you getting any more nosebleeds, do we?"

TMNT The Other Haft AU, Lou vs The Hidden City
Last time on TMNT,
Yoshi (2012 Splinter) convinces Saki (2012 Shredder) to not go look for Lou (Rise Splinter) after he gets kicked out of the Hamato clan.
Action Hero Lou Jitsu got dragged down to the battle Nexus by Big Mama to become the new champion.
So I am kind of stealing someone else's AU, so thanks to the wonderful @camthecatchameleon for the Battle Nexus AU.
Draxum owes a debt to Big Mama and gets tossed into the Nexus. Of Course, big Mama puts Draxum and Lou against each other. Draxum has more rights than most participants but not by much.
Tumblr media
Draxum is 'if you can beat me in a fight' Sexual. When they meet Draxum only as a few more weeks left in the Nexus before he is free, in those weeks he in Lou fall in love. It takes a while, them debating over humanity, sharing tragic backstories and Draxum giving exposition on the hidden City but yeah they are hella gay.
Draxum refuses to levea Lou behind in the hell known as the Battle Nexus. After he is released he instantly goes to the library to look for legal loopholes to make Lou a citizen. The solution: Marrgie. Now he just needs to get Lou alone for long enough for them to swear the oaths.
So he voluntary re-enters the Nexus. Big Mama is over joyed since 'The Baron' had been one of her biggest money makers and his fights with Lou had always drawn the most attention. So she markets this fight to hell and back.
Lou is concerned when he hears that he will be fighting Draxum again because yes the goat did promise to break him out but Lou didn't think he would follow through in any capacity.
During the figth Draxum tells Lou the plan and Lou agrees because he would do anything to get out of here and Draxum is pretty chill once you get past the whole 'I will murder humanity' bit. (Plus, Lou finds him very attractive).
See this is a magic marriage the it dose kinda Magically Bond them which is visible.
The crowd goes silent before some yells
"NEW POWER COUPLE"
Cheers, applause and demands for a proper wedding. Big Mama is pissed but #BaronJitsu is trending the Hidden Internet so there isn't much she can do.
*Insert Massive Celebrity Wedding*
Years go by and Draxum and Lou relise that they actually are in Love, so that's fun.
"I would like Children" Says Draxum in the middle of a movie.
Lou is supirsed but on bored so bip bap bop
TURTLES
Tumblr media
The 'series' would take place in the hidden city and their main goal is taking down Big Mama. The dads didn't want the kids to be involved but they couldn't stop them.
Tumblr media
Big Mama is killed in the climactic battle for the nexus by Lou who takes over the Battle Nexus. It's now a massive tournament and much safer. It still illegal but more moral. People win money, they can opt into death matches and they can choose their opponent.
Tumblr media
Notes:
Draxum and Lou are good dads, they are all very close with there boys and will protect them.
Big Mama is dead, got killed by Lou in the final show down.
Meat Sweats, Repo Mantis, Hypno and the rest exist but are just Big Mama's yokai goons.
During the Series the turtles befriend the extremely angry foot recruit and have a few encounters with the foot clan.
The Turtles are aware that they have human family top side and Apriel did look into the Hamatos for them but when she read that they all died, well the boys were better off dreaming.
The boys don't have the best control over their mystic abilities, but they all unlocked them.

[BSTS] Kokuyou Birthday 2024 4* Card Story
Tumblr media
chapter 1 -starless hallway-
kokuyou: Oh so you’re here today huh? Come to enjoy my hospitality this month have you?
saki: Wah?
kokuyou: I’m talking about the special butler service we’ll be doing for my birth month. I figured I should at least get used to the outfit first. Not like I’ve got much choice. I’m too old to be throwing a fit and saying I don’t wanna do it.
saki: That’s very mature of you.
kokuyou: But still, last year we all made merry choosing presents and this year we’re cosplaying butlers? As usual, the way this store works ain’t normal.
saki: (I can’t imagine Kokuyou-san acting like a proper butler and serving guests like that at all.)
kokuyou: What’s with that strange look you’re giving me? Anyways, look forward to it, yeah?
saki: Huh?
kokuyou: You’re way to easy to read. C’mon, I’ll escort you to your seat.
-starless restaurant area-
kokuyou: Here’s the menu. I’ll attend to the other guests while you decide what you’d like to order. Is that ok?
saki: Ah, yes. That’s fine.
kokuyou: Sorry, I’ll be right back.
-koku moves to another guest-
kokuyou: Hey, you’re a regular aren’t you? Your seat is this way, follow me.
-koku moves to another guest-
kokuyou: I don’t need to give you a long welcome spiel do I? So, what do you wanna order?
Got it, I’ll bring it out once it’s ready… What, you think I’m lacking as a butler? I’m missing a my butler’s smile? Hah, you must still be half asleep. That’s not what you really want from me is it?
saki: (H-he’s killing it out there!)
-koku moves to another guest-
kokuyou: I see your glass is empty. What would you like for your next drink? You’ll leave it to me? I’ll make sure to get you something real exciting then.
Yeah of course it’ll be low on the alcohol, the show hasn’t even started yet after all.
Ah sure, you can take one quick photo. I’m only giving this kinda service while it’s my birthday month, so you better enjoy it.
-
chapter 2 -starless lobby-
saki: (I wonder if Kokuyou-san is still in the restaurant area?)
-cg
kokuyou: You’re still here? I thought you’d gone home already. Today’s butler service has already ended I’m afraid, all the guests have left. Or did you forget your bag or something?
saki: No, but I did forget to say something… Happy Birthday, Kokuyou-san. I’m glad I got to celebrate such a special day with you.
kokuyou: …Yeah, thanks.
kokuyou: ……..
kokuyou: Hey, do you still have some time?
saki: Hm? Yes.
kokuyou: Wait there in that seat then.
-koku leaves-
saki: (Kokuyou-san…? I wonder what he’s doing.)
-time pass, koku returns-
kokuyou: —I am most sorry for the wait, my lady.
saki: …!?
kokuyou: Please enjoy this drink. I prepared it just for you, Miss Saki.
saki: Wh- Huuuh…!?
kokuyou: Tonight please allow me to take care of whatever it is that you wish.
saki: I couldn’t make you do that…! Um, Kokuyou-san…?
kokuyou: …Pfft, how come you’re freaking out? I’m a butler at the moment, right? So you should act the part too.
saki: Huh!?
kokuyou: So, my lady. What is it that you desire?
choice:
Have tea together / Don’t be unreasonable! / Excuse yourself
>have tea together
saki: Would you like to join me for some tea?
kokuyou: Very well. Then, please allow me to take the seat beside you.
saki: O-of course…!
-koku sits down-
kokuyou: Hahahah, we’re both pretty bad at this huh? You can’t stay in character at all.
saki: That’s because you sprung this on me so suddenly, I couldn’t help but be surprised!
kokuyou: I think that should do it. I had just been planning to entertain you a little as thanks for the birthday wishes but I ended up having fun myself.
I don’t consider my birthday to be anything special, its just another normal day like any other. However, it wasn’t half bad hearing you congratulate me. So thanks, Saki.
I’ll make sure to properly play my part as your butler for the rest of the month, so come and visit the store whenever you feel like it. I’ll have to say this every time won’t I?
“Welcome back, my lady.”
—end
other choices:
>don’t be unreasonable
saki: Hmph! You’re being unreasonable!
kokuyou: Hah… My deepest apologies. Please grant me your forgiveness, my lady.
saki: Oh, no! I’m sorry too— Ah, wait, oops…
kokuyou: Hahahah, we’re both pretty bad at this huh? You can’t stay in character at all.
>excuse yourself
saki: Please excuse me.
kokuyou: What are you saying, my lady?
saki: Uhh… I can’t think of anything else to say…!
kokuyou: Hahahah, we’re both pretty bad at this huh? You can’t stay in character at all.

HELLOO I HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A NICE DAY <33
I wanted to request Tsukasa Tenma x gnreader fluffs headcanons about a relationship, only if you feel comfortable doing it! ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙
dating tsukasa
warnings: none
fandom: pjsk
character: tsukasa
notes: OMGG first req!!!! i've written for tsukasa Once (year old saki angst.... /neg) so this should be good practice! this req was kinda vauge so i took some creative liberties hope you don't mind :) (req. by anon)
Tumblr media
tsukasa... he's such a silly little guy
as soon as he realized he had a crush on you, his first thought was to tell you as soon as possible
he definitely gets advice from saki on how to go about it
being himself, he had to make it grand in his own way. he'd bring you a bouquet of your favorite flowers and tell you how much he adored you
(all with a blushing face)
as a boyfriend, tsukasa will show you off everywhere
everyone who goes to his school knows about you
wxs in particular never hear the end of it (he has definitely suggested a show idea based off of you two)
"we could have a prince, played by yours truly, and a great ruler, played by my lovely y/n...."
"respectfully, tsukasa, shut the fuck up." (nene in particular is TIRED of him)
he loves pda, and will press kisses to your hand every now and then
the only time tsukasa gets embarrassed with physical affection is when you do it back
if you kiss him while he's rambling, he'll go beet red and won't say anything for a solid minute (record breaking)
tsukasa is very protective over you. aside from saki, you are the most important thing to him
if you get hurt, he'll be there right away to take care of you. if you're sad, he'll buy some of your favorite things to cheer you up
no matter what it is, he insists he's always a call or text away (and literally, he is)
he's all about treating you like royalty. saying he'd do anything for you is an understatement
because tsukasa would literally do anything for you

With the newest update, it's got me thinking a lot about Karai's role in this au. More on her actions and treatment of Leo and what lies in the future for her. It's been mentioned and made obvious that the "sibling" (i say in quotes since Karai doesn't even see Leo as an equal) relationship between Leo and Karai is nothing short on unhealthy and toxic. Thus, Leo learning what a real relationship with siblings is with the Hamato family. Karai wants to be the better soldier in the Shredder's eyes and seems to take any opportunity to bring down Leo. But something I keep thinking about is what happens to her after Leo has the emperyon removed and (along with the apocalypse future) after stopping the invasion. Basically, is there still a chance at some sort of redemption for her, or are her actions throughout the au unable to be forgiven. It's said that after Leo leaves the Foot, she tries to prove to Shredder that she didn't even need him to begin with and can handle herself just fine. The only time we've seen her act nice towards Leo is right after the session with Kitsune, where Leo is pretty out of it, but who's to say how often that happens. And then there's Leo himself and how he sees Karai after all that happens. Does he just try and forget about her, or does he hold any kind of resentment like Shredder. There's the question of whether he would be willing to forgive her for her actions. Though this isn't even taking into how Karai wasn't actually Shredder daughter but Splinter's instead.
I know that the answer to this is most likely spoilers, but I could into a whole character analysis on whether redemption is an option for Karai or if she's reached a point like Shredder. It would be interesting to hear you thought on what you can say. Though for the time being, I can wait to see what happens! Thanks for coming to my TedTalk, I hope you have a great day, and remember to stay hydrated! :D
Some of the future stuff is kinda spoilers, but I will say, she’s not a monster on the same level as Saki. She’s certainly not an angel, but she will have her own arc and we’ll see how the chips fall.
At the moment in the comic, Karai thinks seeing Leo fail is a necessary stepping stone to proving her own worth and she’s very bitter over Leo earning a commander title before her. Once Leo leaves, and she has most of Saki’s attention on her, she realizes that the Shredder will never be pleased, Karai starts to rethink her feelings toward Leo, and realizes how much she misses how they used to be. She also has no idea of Shredder’s full plan to create his own dark armor to imprison Leo.
In the past Karai, Usagi, and Leo were…friends (after a rocky start) for a very few short years. Usagi being probably the most distant, for the obvious reasons of hating Saki and the Foot Clan. But with Karai and Leo following him around, training together, and bunking together, he eventually stops taking his anger out on them, and becomes a reluctant participant in their childish hi-jinks. Unfortunately, that does not last long.
Around a year before Usagi manages his escape, Leo’s goofing around on a mission leads to Karai getting seriously hurt. As a result Saki punishes Leo so severely and Leo gets the crack on his plastron. Usagi goes to see Leo, but it’s like he’s a totally different person after that. Leo no longer smiles or jokes and takes training much too seriously.
Karai isn’t much better. She seems to meet Leo’s cold attitude with one of her own, and her teasing becomes much harsher and biting. They all grow distant and Usagi sees no other option but to try and escape. Usagi even extends his hand to Leo when the two cross paths, hoping that Leo would snap out of this strange, new personality he’s adopted, but when Leo doesn’t even react, Usagi turns and leaves for good.
Things get even more strained without Usagi around to act as mediator. The only time Karai allows herself to show she cares, are the moments after Leo’s sessions because he is so out of it. She assumes he doesn’t remember enough that she can be a little softer with him, and Leo usually never calls attention to those times, so who knows.
Once Leo spends time with his family, and sees how a healthy sibling relationship should look, he often wonders how things might’ve been different growing up in the safety of the Hamato Clan. When the family learns that Karai is actually their sister, Leo makes it his mission to save her from the Foot Clan.

Okay, let's get into this.
The new outfits, starting with Leo/need:
Tumblr media
I, for one, do prefer the new designs over the old one.
I like the uniformity while still having things that make them them. I like that, so far from what I can see, they all have a star somewhere on their outfit (I say so far because Ichika's guitar blocks part of her outfit, so I'm not 100% sure they all have stars), with Shiho's and Honami's being more obvious and Saki's less so. They all still have their signature colors and I'm hoping that in future designs, we can see more of those colors come in, not the same shade obviously, I'm thinking lighter/darker depending on the person (like Shiho would have a dark green shirt, while Saki's is a pastel yellow).
I'm thinking about in terms of Huevemeber, where we have one color to work with (the hue changes every day) and we can only use different shades of that one specific color, you can't change the hue at all, vibrancy, intensity, sure, but if you're using red and you go towards orange, that's a new hue.
Now onto individual designs:
Tumblr media
Okay, one: I love that Ichika's guitar also got a bit of a redesign. I like that they kept the belts on her thigh, it does look like the ones on her new design are a bit thinner and you can't see the ends of the belt, which leads me to assume that maybe these have a loop or a snap somewhere to make it look like that, or that they don't unbuckle and it's just a band.
As I said before, everyone seems to have a star somewhere on their outfit but we can't see if Ichika has one somewhere. If I had to guess, I'd say the buttons of her jacket.
The changes in her expression is something I also enjoy. Ichika feels more comfortable and confident. In her old design, she looks like she's a bit in shock, maybe considering things??? It's more... pensive I guess? So her standing there with more confidence shows how much she (and the rest of L/n) have grown.
Tumblr media
First off: happy we can see more of her body standing upright rather than leaning over.
Second: I like the added details on her socks. As I said, so far, Saki's star detail is the most subtle. It's on her socks. It's something I don't think people will catch at first glance, unlike Honami and Shiho who both have it somewhere it's more notable.
I like that Saki's the one who got a bow tie in this redesign, I think it suits her. While I do like her old tie, I think the change is nice.
The double belt is a nice touch to the design, the only change I'd make is adding another star motif. Like having a metal star pinned there, or having one larger buckle that was shaped like a star.
Saki comes off as playful in her old design and calmer in her new one. The best way I can describe it is: ticking off something from a bucket list vs finding something new you want to pursue. I wouldn't think Saki wanted to be a professional just looking at her old design. I'd think she enjoys the keyboard/piano. Looking at her new design, it does come more across her being more pro.
That being said, I like that in both she comes across as the cheery one. Like, she just looks like the happy member of the band. It comes across differently in both, but it's the same general idea.
One thing I wish they added was a pair of ribbons, kinda like Honami's ↓ I dunno, I like having it look like something is holding her pigtails up.
Tumblr media
Much like Ichika, one thing I notice is the confidence and being more comfortable. Honami looks a bit uneasy in her old design, like she's not sure if she's meant to be there, but she's there and she's going to try god damnit.
Not gonna lie, I'm going to miss her music note scrunchie. But the ribbon is a nice touch.
I need to point this out, but it looks like the red of her clothes have shifted to a darker shade. Like, in her new design, the red reminds me a lot of MEIKO, which I think it a nice nod to Honami's first event (iirc).
The star buckle and buttons on her sleeves are a nice touch. While I do like the star charm from her old design, I think the new design makes the star(s) work better.
The only thing I'm not too sure of is the belt/strap hanging on her skirt. I don't know if I'd rather move it so it's more on her hip or waist, or if I want to get it rid of it completely. I also wish they kept her fingerless gloves, but that doesn't bother as much as the belt/strap.
Tumblr media
Out of all four redesigns, Shiho's is the one I like most. While I never had a problem with the color she's wearing, the overall outfit just never stuck with me. The thing I disliked the most was the bow, it looked so stupid. I genuinely like Shiho with the tie a lot more and I think she suits the blazer/suit jacket.
Again, I've never had a problem with the color, that being said, I do like that we've shifted to a darker green color (much like how Honami's shifted to a darker red).
As mentioned earlier, Shiho has stars in her outfit that are notable. One is on the cuff of her sleeve and the other is her bracelet on the same arm. I kinda wanna know if the bracelets match, so we have another star on her hand holding her bass.
I also like that she looks more relaxed, as opposed to her looking like she's trying to stand apart from the others. Which, thinking about it, is very telling of Leo/need's journey to becoming pros. In their old design, Shiho is the only one who's standing like she's working on being pro. Ichika and Honami look more like this is something they're unsure of but want to try, while Saki looks like she just wants to have a good time. It's very much a difference between career vs hobby. Shiho was the lone wolf before, but now she's able to stand with the rest of the pack, knowing that they're doing this together. She can relax. She looks confident in both, but again, like with Saki, there's a difference between the two.
On a side note, what's hanging on the side of her skirt? I wanna say it's a belt but I'm not sure...
....anyways!!
All in all, I like the uniformity (seriously, I like them in the same outfits, any time I play/watch a song with 3DMV, I make sure their outfits match otherwise it bothers me). I like the stars put throughout their outfits. I like the shift in Shiho's green and Honami's red. I like that they all look more confident. I like that they actually look like a professional band. I do think adding a lighter/darker shade of their signature color would have made their designs just slightly better, but other than that, I really like these designs.

ROUND 3C, MATCH 3 OUT OF 4!

Propaganda Under the Cut:
Saki:
Psychic goth girl who was cast as Cinderella in a school play. The play was so poorly cast overall that the entire script had to be rewritten, thus “Cinderella-ish” was born. Hanajima played a Cinderella dressed in all black, and when confronted by the fairy godmother, she simply wished for meat.
idk if this is what you meant by 'acting' as Cinderella but in-universe she got cast as Cinderella in the school play, and the characters ended up re-writing the entire play to work around her because she was too Goth and disinterested to play a classic Cinderella character.
She plays the best version of Cinderella. All she cared about was going to the ball for the barbecue. The episode she's in is a really good one as well.
Overall Saki is not a Cinderella character, but you did say we could submit them if they were Cinderella in an in-universe play, and that she was! In Season 2 Episode 23 "It's Cinderella-ish", her class puts on a production of Cinderella and she ends up getting cast as the titular role, which a lot of other characters think is crazy because she's this straight-faced, emotionally-repressed, exclusively-wears-black kinda girl. Also her best friend Tohru (the anime's protagonist) gets cast as an evil stepsister, and she's one of the sweetest people ever and has so much trouble being mean to Saki even fakely and vice versa. Of course, Saki has no problems being rude to the Prince Charming character in the play, played by Kyo, a guy who's sweet deep down (but only to Tohru and his adoptive father) but is other wise a hot head who's always getting into fights. So between Saki as Cinderella having a genuine love for her stepsister and a general animosity with the prince, in addition to the fact that when she goes to the ball, all she wants to do is eat, not mingle, she makes for a very interesting Cinderella.
so this shoujo series has a storyline where the class puts on a Cinderella play but instead of the heroine playing Cinderella, shenanigans happen that lead to the heroine's goth best friend, Saki Hanajima, aka Hana-chan, aka Demon Queen, playing the lead role. Hana-chan's Cinderella dresses in all black against the wishes of the play's director, does not give 2 shits about the prince, and is just a general menace to society. I know she's probably not gonna win but I just wanted to share her with all of you bc I love her and the Cinderella-ish arc is to this day some of the funniest shit I've seen in a manga
their high school class decided to randomize who played which characters in their production of Cinderella & the creepy goth girl got cast as Cinderella & her painfully kind-hearted bestie got cast as the evil stepsister (among other mismatched roles) so they rewrote the play into "Sorta Cinderella" & Cinderella became a deadpan, lazy girl who only wants the best for her darling step-sister & who only went to the ball for the food.  in the end, instead of marrying the prince she takes his money & opens a restaurant with her sister & I love that for them <3
Cendrillon:
[Mod's Note: Warning for Persona 5 spoilers]
Her Persona is Cinderella. Her story is about disguising herself as another person to gain acceptance.
Her persona is Cendrillon, the French name for Cinderella and the name of an opera based on the story, and it mirrors her arc in the game. When you boil her down to the essentials, she essentially made a wish that was granted by her....... fairy godtherapist to go from pauper (bland and talentless depressed Sumire) to princess (her dead sister Kasumi, bubbly, personable star gymnast). As far as she sees it, even, it's this transformation that helps her 'get the prince' (read: befriend the protagonist). Why should she win, though? Umm because she's my baby my angel my sweetie my cherub specialist character in fiction and most important girl in the universe. Out of love in your heart for me, tumblr user [REDACTED], vote for her.
GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH ok ok ok everyone here's my autism. Major spoilers as you get closer to the end btw! - She has three personas, in order they go: Cendrion, Vanadis, Ella. The first and last are taken from Cinderella, with Cendrion being the german name for Cinderella, and of course Ella just being a shortened form of Cinderella. - She does gymnastics, although a lot of her phantom thief design is heavily based off of ballet as well! In particular the black swan mimicking the white swan, and while of course that's not cinderella, it does remind me of how Cinderella was treated in the beginnings of the story - Cinderella and her both have major sibling trauma! It's a huge point about her character. Major spoilers, but she pretends to be her older sister Kasumi for most of the game; the sad truth is that she's in fact the younger sister Sumire. She's pretending to be her older sister because she can't deal with the trauma of that day she ran out into traffic and her sister got hit instead of her. (It does not help that her therapist uses eldritch god powers to gaslight her into thinking she is her sister.) - They're both pretty and also I love sumi so much she's everything to me. unironically the character of all time NOT FOR PROPAGANDA but for mod: image because it can be awkward to find one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UyOsg26GnZU/maxresdefault.jpg also!!!! if you're interested in not potentially spoiling people you should call her Kasumi Yoshizawa. If you aren't worried about that though and want to be accurate, Sumire Yoshizawa is better. Or just call her Violet because that's her codename!
Initially introduced as Kasumi, she is a dorky and sweet first-year student who looks up to the protagonist as a mentor and eventually joins the Phantom Thieves in figuring out the fake reality they're trapped in. However, it's revealed that she's actually Kasumi's sister Sumire, who was always stuck in her more talented sister's shadow and yearned to be Kasumi. Unfortunately, she got her wish when her sister died saving her and her therapist brainwashed her into believing herself to be Kasumi. With help from the protagonist, Sumire realizes she was holding herself back and breaks free from her false identity, embracing her true self and rebelling against the hollow utopia. Her initial Persona--an embodiment of her true self--is Cendrillon, and her third tier ultimate Persona is Ella.
Sumire dosen't just pretends to be her dead sister, she was brainwashed into believing to be her by the final act's main villain/her fairy godfather figure, because that was her (misguided by trauma) wish as she believed that her sister was better than her. The final acts has a lot of 'making wishes come true' theme that connects her to Cinderella even more, also she does have a bit of 'save by the prince' thing going on with the game's protagonist
Please please vote my girl!!
Sumire is such a cute and cool character and deserves to leave the life of cinders how the fandom treats her and be a shiny princess!!

I saw someone mention before that Tsukasa is very forgetful. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but do you think there’s something more to it than that? In the most recent event, he doesn’t remember Mafuyu’s name (yes they’ve only met once before, but Rui remembered). This is just the newest example. In the main story, he forgot his reason for wanting to be a star. In the doll house event, Saki mentions that she knows he’s forgetful, which is kind of how their argument started in the first place, etc. Is it a consistent theme with him or am I overthinking? If so, do you think it means anything? I feel like it’s somehow connected to the Sekai too, but I’m not sure…
I mentioned it briefly in my Wonderland SEKAI lorepost that it seems that he may have repressed some stuff from childhood, which checks out considering what his childhood was like. Like the SEKAI managed to manifest despite him not actually being able to remember or be consciously aware of the thing that formed it, compared to every other unit where the owner(s) 100% knew about what made their SEKAI. And then he remembers everything later on in the story because of Saki's childhood plushie. Which doesn't sound right? I'm not a psych student or anything though so I'm running off google for that. However there's a good chance the whole Wonderland SEKAI formation may just be fantasy psychology like they never followed up on it so at this point I kinda doubt the significance of it?
All that said yes he is canonically forgetful lol.
