First there are the matching tuxedos.

“Friendship and Love Forever!!” “What is the fate of Smith and Isami?” The headline and the blurb respectively say.

And then there is Masami Obari.

For the color of their tuxedos, Color Design made several patterns, and I decided one among them 🤙

I'm looking forward to reading the conversation between Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Azakami 🤖✨

What if there really is a wedding, but a different ritual?

J.J. Abrams: “Ah, so there it is, the proof!! I’ll go canonize this couple, as it was CLEARLY the intention from the beginning of the series!!”

J.J. Abrams: “?????? What!? They’re JUST friends! No, I’m not going to use this. If Kirk and Spock were supposed to be lovers, we’d have seen them making out on screen back in the 60′s, right?... Right!? No, I’m not being homophobic. Look, I changed Sulu, and now he’s gay... right there on the background.”

What if you replaced every 69 and 96 character with another character from their respective series :3

I think something like this would happen

More random info under the cut

While most DR69 characters are just the alternatives we see in UDG69, I don't see that as relevant here if this is an AU. Also, I made some different choices just based on characters I like more (such as Cricket and Kokona). Another choice, for me personally as the swap for Mario or Luigi, would be Rosalina, but Peach and Daisy feel too fitting otherwise.

For DR96, I also kinda just chose my favourites from each media, with like the exception of Hourglass Dog because I don't know if any other Ena character really has much relevance other than being a one-off character (apart from Moony who's already in DR96). I almost chose Kim to pair with Saul too, however the prospect of Gus was too funny to pass up. Also Light isn't a character I like per say, but I mean he would work well in a killing game set-up lol

#tldr this is mostly just choices of my other faves from each media #WE BRINGING BACK THE UDGANG!!! #also technically Hat Kid the originally planned protag lol #for anyone unaware the girl next to Monika is Mika from Ao Oni it's just one of her many redesigns I randomly chose #I like how DR69's alt cast gets more girls than guys as well hehe #ok but did you know gaming one of these characters on the list is someone I love so so so much I kick my feet and twirl my hair for them #if you can guess no you cannot /lh

I'm so curious about how (the remaining surviving human) ppl will react to the military working with super giant robots to save the world. Will the fighting footage be made public? Will isami become a global figure? Will there be Bravern merch in-universe?

I keep imagining that there will be a bunch of conspiracy videos online about the whole thing, because I feel there's no way everything will be made public, especially concerning Lulu who's (physically) still a minor.

In my isarui headcanon, isami will want to protect Smith from global scrutiny, so he will just be the mysterious partner of the hero of the world. But there will be ppl digging into it and videos with titles like "the man who came back to life""who is lewis smith?" circulating around online (since Smith was announced KIA for a bit and records can't be completely erased).

The most popular video of course will be "what was bravern?", ppl will speculate the robot to be secretly made by governments, or maybe a part of the death drives, but I doubt there will be anyone who can come to the complete truth.

And after all the necessary public appearances Isami will retire, flowershop AU takes place and the truth of Bravern will forever be an unsolved mystery.

silly little headcanon time

since we get to see Spock basically quote Sherlock Holmes, it is now my belief that he's read the books.

Sherlock was Spock's first crush. He found his logic and demeanor interesting and flattering, appreciated the way he never had time for people that weren't willing to listen to him and/or some sort of asset to him. Appreciated that Sherlock plays violin, especially when he needs time to just sit and ponder some big mystery. Found his chemical dependency illogical but could over look it because he was amazing to read about. There wasn't anything Sherlock couldn't achieve with his logic and higher level of thinking. And then Spock grew a bit older and realized that wasn't a crush at all, it was more along the lines of representation. He related to Sherlock, he wasn't crushing on the man. With that knowledge he decided to spend his spare time rereading his mother's old books.

Only on his reread the only character he could seem to pay attention to was Dr. John Watson. The way he acted without thinking, how angry he would get with Sherlock for being so apathetic towards everyone and everything that wasn't the case he was actively involved with. The way Watson seemed to balance out the parts of Sherlock that were disliked by the vast majority of characters in the story. The head strong soldier who was willing to risk it all to help someone in need. He found his infatuation with John Watson fascinating. Eventually he finishes his reread of the old stories and gets caught up in growing up.

He recalls Sherlock Holmes from time to time, typically in passing, often when he looks at a fellow Starfleet officer and says, "Once you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

And then he meets the hard headed, fiery, strong willed cadet who already - in his first two weeks in the academy - made a reputation for himself being quick to act, James Tiberius Kirk.

“I made my courage explode and got it” — The bond between Isami and Smith SHINE FOREVER * (Or The Honeymoon Edition after the wedding <- semi-joking)

Some excerpts from Masami Obari interview on Animedia May 2024 issue

Q. What kind of children were Isami and Smith? Also, which one was a crybaby (or a spoiled brat)?

There was no description of Isami's childhood in the series, but I think it was probably Isami who was a crybaby. This is not a canon setting, so it’s my imagination.

Isami could have an older brother. But that brother died for some reason, and I thought Isami “had to be strong. And I thought of having a backbone that I volunteered to (become) a self-defence officer because I wanted to be useful to people.”

Looking back on the whole story, I think the structure of the story was “time-leap thing.” Wasn't it quite difficult to produce a scenario, such as consistency?

… It was like Mr. Koyanagi (Keigo) of the series composition team forced me to take (laughs). However, the landing point was, because I wanted Isami and Smith to talk about making miracles, so I prioritised drama over logic. (italics mine) From episode 1 to episode 12, I aimed for a work that you can enjoy watching it again and again.

…

In fact, one of the foreshadowings is the ED video. It may look like an interesting video at first glance, where Isami and Smith are singing half naked, but in fact, that video contains the message that “You can make a miracle by taking off everything and becoming one of the two of you.” In the final episode, Smith responded to Isami's call and returned to the same dimension, but that is the miracle that their friendship had caused.

…

First, I thought about the ending, and then I made various things while calculating backwards, so it happens naturally. For example, in the first episode, there is a scene where Smith said, “I wanted to be like him” while watching Bravern, but that is rather Bravern, (he’s) talking about Isami who’s inside him (italics mine). If you look back after you understand the previous story, I think the meaning of the scene will change again.

On Lewis Smith’s turquoise green eyes.

That's right. For example, in the scene where Smith reaches out to the light, Smith’s eyes turn green for a moment. That's the same eye colour as Bravern. Also, I think Smith’s (eye) colour was green in the last episode, but I was making it together with that.

An Ode to the Áo Dài

The traditional Vietnamese garment, which translates to “long shirt,” has been reimagined as a modern heirloom, writes author Thao Thai.

[...]

When Kelly Marie Tran wore an áo dài designed by Thái Nguyễn to the Oscars in 2022, this moment created a magnificent stir, both among Americans and Vietnamese people of the diaspora who’d never seen our national garment represented on a red carpet. It was, in so many ways, a kind of permission to exist outside of the margins, to have our culture spotlit without explanation or apology.

Nguyễn remembers receiving a phone call from Tran, who asked if it was possible to create an áo dài in three days. He said, “[That call] woke me up.” After 16 hours of work, the team at Thái Nguyễn Atelier finished the áo dài hours before the award show. Nguyễn describes the way that American PR companies and buyers once told him that his name and identity were too ethnic; they didn’t think an áo dài would ever be a mainstream garment. “I’ve been yearning for that moment,” Nguyễn says, recalling the first time he saw Tran at the Oscars. “Afterward, a Vietnamese follower sent me a photo of her five-year-old daughter in an áo dài and said, ‘She can wear this now to a birthday party, instead of a Cinderella or Snow White gown.’” In fact, Nguyễn is co-writing Mai’s Ao Dai, a children’s book about a girl who discovers the beauty of áo dài, with Vietnamese American writer Monique Truong. Such representation is already changing the way younger generations are embracing the áo dài.
