okay so Light Up the Fire ramble. specifically about Taiga. I get what he did was a total dick move but at the same time I don't think he ever really let himself properly process his grief over Nagi's death.
Think about it. Just after Nagi died he moved out of the country, away from where RADder had done everything. RADder was extremely important to both him and Nagi (and also Ken) and he completely left where they'd built their entire lives around when he lost Nagi. Not to mention that as far as An was told, he's been touring with his dead younger sister. That's gotta hurt in itself, but the fact that he just left seems to me like he just didn't want to face it at that point in time, aside from the fact it was a convenient cover up so An didn't find out.
Then when he came back. Literally one of the first things he does is offer to take Kohane under his wing. It later becomes apparent (Kick it up a notch) that Kohane's performing is very reminiscent of Nagi's and you start to wonder, is that why he chose Kohane to mentor? Did he see his sister in Kohane this entire time? Oh and one of the other first things he does upon returning to Shibuya is lie to An about Nagi being alive so you know. He's having a great time /s
And then he keeps pretending that his sister isn't gone for months. He's known she's been gone for years but he can't let An know. That's just, not good. It's not healthy for him or anyone really but you can definitely see how it affects him. He's gotta pretend his sister is fine while mentoring kids who are trying to surpass her final event, or his last proper memory of her that doesn't involve her being in a hospital bed on the brink of death.
The thing is, when you put it in perspective with the fact that he clearly never got over Nagi's death, you can understand why he doesn't want VBS to surpass RAD WEEKEND. RW was his sister's final event, everything they worked for culminated with that event, RADder was forced to disband and they went out with a bang to celebrate Nagi's life and evrything that they had achieved. The event meant a lot to him, to his sister, and he doesn't want a bunch of kids trying to trample over it. He's not even wrong that VBS will never be able to put on an event that feels the same, RW was special because it was a sendoff for Nagi, you can't just replicate that.
What he did was wrong, dropping the bomb on An and everyone else and then immediately crushing their dreams was cruel. But you can really understand through that that he isn't ready to let go. It's outright stated in the event even. One of Nagi's final wishes was that they would inspire and hand off their legacy to a new generation, and even back then when she said it, he didn't understand why she'd want to do that. This was their moment, this was what they'd worked for, and this was the end of the road for RADder, and they ended on an unreachable high. So why was Nagi so willing to hand it off? This was her legacy, this was what she was going to leave behind and she was going to let some random kids snatch it up and run with it?
It's obvious that Taiga never processed his grief properly. We don't know too much about his time overseas other than that he became pretty famous and successful in the music industry, but the fact that he left his home behind for years after such a tragic event just seems like he was avoiding it? And then when he goes home and actually has to face it, he faces it with vitriol and anger at a bunch of kids who literally looked up to RADder, they didn't know about the truth of RW, they didn't mean any harm. But he definitely sees that they are harming the true message and feeling behind RW and he doesn't want them to take his sister's legacy. Even though this was one of the only things Nagi wanted when she passed, a new generation, he's so fixated on the fact that RW was the end of his sister that he's. keeping it to himself essentially. It's selfish but in a grief-striken way.
So fair enough but jeez man don't make 6 teenagers have a breakdown because you never let yourself process your grief that's fucked up.

I've been playing prsk on and off for like a year now but of course I'd only care to draw fanart for it when Kotaki Taiga happened.
I like his dynamic with Kohane a lot (not in a ship way, obviously)

The proper way of comforting a grieving teenager:
Reassuring them that they are loved: ❌
Giving them time to process their feelings: ❌
Challenging them to a rap battle: ✅

ippiki au: minor characters edition
first things first: here look at everyone. dont mind the inconsistency of style, i took a 4 month break in the middle of these okay
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and now! lore and stuff will be under the cut to not clog up everything
ill include everyones images a second time before their specific lore just to help keep track of things i hope you dont mind that. also implied vbs event spoilers (specifically for light up the fire) when you get to radder, if thats a concern at all
Tumblr media
mizuki- deer. a runaway from an arena with lower security, met ena early into their escaped days and theyve stuck together since. their antler broke while in the arena, and they havent shed yet to grow back evenly. whether the white spots are because of their deer species or the fact that theyre still a teenager or just because of weird hybrid things is up to viewer interpretation (aka i never really settled on a specific type of deer for them). unfortunately the antlers make them pretty visibly trans and they dont really like having them, but at least most other hybrids dont seem to care too much.
ena- mountain lion. grew up in the same lab as akito, and to neither of their knowledge, they are actually related (ena was still somewhat of an older sister figure to him, along with some of the others from his group. they havent seen each other in a few years since ena got taken to an arena. to each other they might as well be dead). not the biggest fan of their current situation, but shes trying to make the best of it.
they live together currently in the undercity, living somewhat steadily off of odd jobs. its not the greatest life, and maybe one day theyd like to leave, but for two teenage girls, its the best theyre managing for now, and it certainly could be a lot worse. they both couldve never escaped their arenas and died there.
Tumblr media
haruka- domestic shorthair cat (but often mistaken for being a russian blue... shes just a regular gray cat with blue eyes). an ex-feral (captured as a child) turned show pet with a reputation for her cool charm. while shes taken to this life with relative ease, she misses her home from far outside the city and her childhood best friend who got captured at the same time and separated from her (she cant help but fear that an is probably dead, sent to an arena for her rowdier personality. shed like to hope otherwise, but the odds are against her)... also yes, her outfit mainly looking like her asrun outfit is intentional.
minori- goat. i forgot her sideways pupils here but she has those, just like kohane and luka. a childhood friend of kohanes, raised in the same lab, but was bought as a show pet instead. no one really knows why, besides her enthusiastic personality having its strengths in the idol-like niche of show pets. admires haruka from a distance, but theyve never had a chance to properly meet. maybe one day...
Tumblr media
nene- longhaired fold cat x canary. part of a private project attempting to create non mammalian hybrids by balancing them out with known stable hybrids, and shes one of the first semi successful ones. she might have survived to a reasonable age so far, but not without complications. shes prone to occasionally unstable health and has some speech issues, mostly caused by the bird parts of her not mixing well with everything else. the feathers are cute, but at what cost? although being kept in a very restrictive environment isnt doing her any favors either...
technically shes not even a main part of the au! shes got her own side storyline with wxs lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
kotaro- racoon. literally just some guy. from the same town as haruan, but hes just been there the whole time. probably the only character here who hasnt experienced the horrors to some extent. not actually relevant to the au besides like oh he exists he might briefly show up, but i wanted to draw him because i had design ideas
souma- domestic dog, some kind of mutt. suffered a combination of severe injuries throughout his time in an arena and during their escape, leaving him with a nasty mess of scars across his body as well as a mostly paralyzed arm and a noticeable limp. hes trying to stay positive despite that, after all theyre free! but its tough sometimes, he cant help but feel bad that hes slowing down their pace in traveling.
arata- caracal. from the same arena as souma, but escaped much more unscathed, his past injuries are nowhere near as severe. heard stories about the outside world somewhere and is now determined to find somewhere worth living out in the wasteland with souma. hes not exactly friendly to people they cross paths with, but its mostly out of caution to protect both of them.
fun fact i had to redesign soumarata partially because i just wasnt satisfied with their designs (i had made some very early on into the au) and partially because me and my friends realized souma is the taller one (hes like. slightly taller than touya? while arata is only taller than akito) and i had it the other way around before.
Tumblr media
nagi- maned wolf. a popular face around town, and one of their most successful participants in various resource gathering missions (it isnt uncommon for hybrid towns to have members who will steal things for their towns from supply trains that go out to human towns in the wasteland and nagi was often a fan of going on those). she liked to get out and explore the wasteland! sometimes shed let an (and less often, haruka as well) tag along with her so they could see more of the world while still supervised, but that led to her own downfall. a mission went wrong, the kids got caught, and she got killed trying to save them.
taiga- tiger (how could i not go for the pun, and also canon did it first anyway). while once a common sight around town, after nagis death hes become a rare visitor, traveling more often than not, only stopping home once in a while. maybe he doesnt want to linger around the feelings left behind now that shes gone. scary and serious, but not out of bad intentions.
ken- fox (just like an). runs a somewhat popular cafe in town, comfortably settled down. he regrets not being there to protect his daughter, but theres nothing to do about it anymore. maybe one day shell come back, but for now, hes got a job to do and thats the most important thing for him to focus on.
nagi and taiga are fully aware that theyre siblings, unlike akito and ena. it was more common for their generation to be aware of this, rather than having knowledge about their origins withheld. they both were in an arena that focused on team fights, and when taigas original teammate was killed, nagi ended up with him, prompting him to help them both escape because he didnt want to let his sister get hurt more than necessary (even though shes capable of taking care of herself in a fight). they met ken (another arena escapee) during their way out of the city, and began traveling as a group of three until they found the town they all called home. their presence was an important part of making that town thrive into the place it is now, even if things for the trio have since fallen apart quite a bit. nagi is gone, taiga rarely sticks around, ken is the only one who stayed now.
Tumblr media
meiko- bear. runs a convenience store at night in the undercity near one of the arenas (the one akikoha are in), well known around the area and uses her advantageous shop location to help new escapees get a little more set into their newly freed lives. a kind if intimidating woman, and very reliable at her jobs.
miku- striped hyena. just an average young escapee living in the undercity, although she doesnt try to blend in very well. ever since she got her hands on some hair dye shes been stubbornly sticking to the faded and grown out color, she thinks shes cool with it. friends with a couple humans who seem completely unbothered by her animal traits
luka- ibex. an escapee from the outer city workshops who decided to move to the undercity... and never really settles down anywhere. she likes to wander from place to place, experiencing the great expanse of the city from its depths. shes got her favorite places to come back to, but more than anything, shes always on the move to see something new.
kaito and the kagamines are humans (the kagamines are mikus human friends!) which is why theyre not here 👍
and thats everyone! apologies this is a monster of a post, but i hope youve enjoyed reading. and hopefully its semi coherent lol
