For the Laicion nation (aka, me and three other people)
I had this illustration commissioned (a big thank you to @lunehowls) for my werewolf AU Laicion fic (still a WIP).
The general pitch is as follows :
AU in which Laios never got to meet his sister again, putting his life on a whole other path, a more desperate one. A military deserter with barely a coin to his name, Laios hitches a ride on a boat to one of the elven continents, where he learns about magical tattoos that binds one’s soul to a wolf’s, effectively making them artificial werewolves. Illegal magic be damned, this feels like the answer to… everything.
In the process, he learns about the existence of an illegal fighting ring in one of the elven cities, where beastmen gladiators gather. Freshly tattooed and without anywhere else to go to, Laios decides to head there, where he meets Lycion, an elf and artificial werewolf gladiator. If they first bond over a simple shared meal, by spending time together (sharing the same room in the barracks, maybe the same bed? gasp) they find that they have a lot in common, notably a shared distaste for the body they were born in, a dysphoria partially remedied by becoming a werewolf.
They bond :)

Fun Kingdom of Illyria facts:
Life expectancy has decreased for several reasons, but notably due to changes in diet [1]
The Illyrian government controls the production of paper and how much paper is produced each year [2]
An ID is required to make phone calls, with most communications being conducted inside a police station or public government facility. An appointment is required to make the call, and the amount of time allowed per call is limited [3]
There are "certified communication specialists" that can come to your house to allow you to make a magic phone call by speaking into a magic circle. Communication is established via morse code and can't be conducted if the area is too loud. It costs approximately W$200.00 per call [4] (W$ = World Dollar; the global currency in GG)
Model building and retro gaming are popular [5]
Recording audio/music for personal use is illegal, and vinyl records are the only physical music medium [6]
A type of oatmeal-like substance called "charge" is also popular. It can be hardened into crackers [7]
Metric units have been replaced by the new international standard, merta units and volume measurements with "cemerta" and "quorte" units [8] [9]
EDIT: Ky doesn't suck at his job. Illyria is one of the best places to live at in Guilty Gear right now. Everywhere else is much, much, worse

I've talked before about how the way people treat suicide can be unintentionally devastating to the suicidal person, but I don't think I really ever said how to avoid that.
Speaking about suicide in how selfish it "is" ("think about how you'll transfer your pain to your loved ones!") might seem like a way to put logical sense into the suicidal person, but, honestly? It runs the risk of massively increasing their shame and guilt about being suicidal. Suicide is not inherently a revenge fantasy or a way to "get back" at someone's loved ones, so when the suicidal person is treated like a criminal of a "crime" they haven't even committed yet, you can imagine how unhelpful that can become.
Instead, if you want to point out how cherished your person is, frame their relationships as something they can keep fostering.
"Your cat will miss you :(!!!!" becomes "you and your cat seem close, right? I'm sure it's beautiful having a close friend like that!" and maybe include ways that they and their cat are close and meaningful to each other, tailored to that relationship.
That's only one example, but when you shift the focus away from why that person should repent and feel guilty for being suicidal, you can instead focus on why they would live for that reason. See how you can frame that as a positive? Whatever is keeping that person tethered should never be used as a bludgeon, I think, because then you're taking away why they're living, the positivity of why they are here. Whatever they are here for should be remembered often and honoured.

Dear new followers,
Change your avatar, put anything in your title! Did you know that when lurking here, you can just hit the reblog (two arrows) button to keep a copy of the post/art on your blog and turn your blog in a scrapbook of stuff you liked? It works a lot better than just liking a post and makes people who post stuff happy! (you can also search your blog to see those posts again later that way!)
And if you made a side blog to be active on instead, know that your main blog is the visible one in follow and like notifications, so make sure to check that too!

Thank you @solradguy for your advice... 2-ish months ago? On how to translate things easier. Google Keep made everything MUCH more convenient.
I translated this using DeepL so there is absolutely a possibility that the translation is funky. The textless and original versions are under the cut if you know Japanese and want to take your own crack at it.
ID in alt text.
If you want me to edit your translation in, send me a dm or an ask with the new text. I'll edit the 'translation: DeepL' to have your username to keep credit correctly attributed.
I picked this one to 'translate' first because of how little dialogue there was. I figured it would be good for a first try.

anji mito flirting with men compilation
exactly what it says on the tin. a compilation of anji mito bisexual moments in chronological order
1. ggx2
this is his win quote against chipp. yes im counting this
2. dust strikers
this is in response to johnny saying something about how its impressive that bridget would want to fight a bunch of powerful guys or something like that. johnny responds with "what?" and anji quickly elaborates that hes interested in guys POWER but im still putting this here also
note: previous two entries are canonically dubious. so thank god he has some bisexual moments in strive too
3. strive
this one keeps getting looked over for some reason but he has THIS conversation with nagoriyuki if you beat him with 1 heart in extreme mode stage 8
transcript:
nago: you've thrown me for a loop. what a dance.
anji: liked it, did you?
nago: haha, perhaps. come visit me again.
anji: ...wait. i didn't even get to talk to him.
and most recently. his intro interaction with asuka
transcript:
anji: hey there, handsome.
asuka: another ambush? really?
anji also has a win quote against him where he goes "you need more training. have you been eating right?" but ive always interpreted that as more mocking lmao but ymmv lmao, he has a few other unique intro interactions with asuka that could be interpreted as flirting ("look at us, dancing like this!")
feel free to add on (PLEASE add on if i missed something)!
