i feel like we’ve absolutely had this conversation before but i can’t be bothered to actually check if we have- but there’s So Much “nicky isn’t good with words” content (and like, i don’t completely hate it in uses of maybe aus where nicky hasn’t been alive for nearly 1,000 years) but the thing is is that canonically, we’ve seen nicky be scary good with words. like i will die on the nicolò “acts of service to show love” di genova hill. but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to use his words!! he might not say as much but when he does speak there is a certain... weight behind his words? he says things with a purpose and a meaning. even if it may seem he’s saying something casually, there’s so much behind it??? but again, i’m just working with the movie as my source, and we only saw a very uhh?? brief bit of their lives so really we need a sequel to explore all this more. - 2ta

you 🤝 the same fucking braincell 🤝 me

when we were talking about nicky being both reserved and Not Reserved like.. idk a couple weeks ago i Almost made another post that i typed up at like 3 in the morning and then saved as a draft (bc it was three in the morning ofc)

i never posted it but it was like the same fucking thing you just said. like. nicky is not only good with words and good at expressing himself, but i also think of him as pretty social

like tldr

1. nicky is, like you said, Good at talking 2 ppl. Scary good. there are multiple instances through the movie of nicky shutting someone The Fuck Up via just talking to them a little. i mean in the train scene he gets andy (ANDY!!! stubborn andy!!) and book (BOOK!!! the guy who greatly benefits if they dont go after another immortal!!) to concede to his point abt nile after saying like 3 sentences to them. he strikes kozak speechless. he makes merrick run scared from his own lab. nickys GOOD with words and good at expressing himself and good at talking to people & good at making people agree with him, even if they wont admit it

2. i think its kind of pointed that in the scene where he says hello to the little girl in s. sudan, hes in the back of the group? like, we’re shown andy, book, and joe all passing the sudanese people without saying a word. nicky is the only one who greets them, despite the fact that it wouldve been hardly rude to not to.

so hes not only good with words, but hes also social. he says hi to strangers he passes in the street. tho a lot of interpretations of joe and nicky have joe being the social one and nicky being the introverted/awkward/shy one, i actually think of nicky as the more social between the two, and honestly maybe even the most social of the group. book and andy dont exactly strike me as gushing extroverts

altho i have to admit i think of them all at least slightly extroverted (i mean joe at least was a merchant. theres no way he could be Bad with people). i just think of nicky as just a little Bit More social

like. consider a diagram i made like 3 weeks ago

theyre both social. nickys just. a little more.

3. ik weve all talked endlessly abt nicky being a priest but like... being a priest is a social job. idk how Priesthood(TM) has changed between now and the 1000s but i doubt that particular facet has changed. priests are involved in their community. the whole point of being a priest is talking to people. i assume nicky chose to be a priest, thus his chosen career was a social one that involves talking to people as a core aspect.

& i agree that its definitely up in the air regarding whether younger nicky/ au nicky would be social/good at expression or not. However it always feels silly when joe is like.. the same exact guy circa 1100 as he is in 2020 but nicky is radically different in terms of how he expresses himself and his social habits. same goes for aus.

i mean. at the end of the day, im not the fandom police, and i dont ever wanna give off the impression that im like.. trying to tell fic authors what to write bc i get thats annoying as hell.

(and i mean i get it. nicky talks softly, doesnt have Marwan Kenzari’s Expressive Eyebrows, and is shown to be a bit of a bookworm. shy/introvert!nicky is a easy conclusion 2 come to. i simply Dont agree with it)

#im extremely pro acts of service nicky However i feel like ppl get Too Deep into the whole #acts of service nicky/ words of affirmation joe #to the point that they only portray those 2 as showing affection only in those 2 respective ways #like nicky 'love of my life' di genova isnt Just acts of service #and joe snapping keane's neck sure wasnt a fucking word of affirmation #AND WE DO NEED A SEQUEL @ NETFLIX ANNOUNCE IT COWARDS #🔫 i am no longer asking #2thoughts anon #Anonymous

For the character ask, Akiyama Shun

ohh man i was hoping someone would send akiyama... anon whoever you are, i love you ❤️

How I feel about this character bro i cant even begin to tell you. god. i fucking love this man. its really scary how hard i relate to him. probably my biggest comfort character rn. i cant tell if i would rather know him and like, be his best friend, or BE him. the gender envy alone has me insane. just thinking about him and things he might do has become a nice pass time for when im bored, especially while im at work.

All the people I ship romantically with this character as with most of the yakuza characters, i find myself enjoying a lot of the ships theyre involved in. ESPECIALLY poly ships. my brain is super focused on akiyama/kiryu rn tho; the pining, the devotion, willing to kill for the one you love... kiryu being totally oblivious, or pretending to be, until akiyama makes his feelings obvious... bro its so good... i also enjoy the ships w ryuji and shinada, and while i dont have many thoughts about tanimura, i think akitani is cute (mostly bc of ONE artist i follow on twt who makes a lot of good akitani art lmao). akiyama/majima just makes me laugh. make it kiryu/akiyama/majima/saejima all together tho and thats a perfect soup to me. i also really like akiyama/ryuji/kiryu inspired by ishin's storyline.

My non-romantic OTP/BrOTP for this character i NEED more content of him and haruka. the game literally sets him up to be another guardian figure for her. uncle akiyama... hes a total disaster about it but he cares about her so much and tries to do his best to protect her. i think it kind of extends from his devotion towards kiryu and protecting kiryu’s interests, but he also genuinely likes haruka and doesnt just think of her as this precious thing to protect the same way you might protect a valuable item or family heirloom. shes an actual person to him, whereas in some of the previous games, shes viewed by the other characters as just a device to manipulate kiryu. whether or not rgg studio wants to show us more of them i firmly believe they keep in contact. maybe even post y6 he helps out at morning glory 🥺 in terms of like. non-familial relationships though, i think akiyama and majima are fucking insane as buddies. just thinking about it makes me laugh. especially when you look at dead souls, akiyama tries so hard to seem cool next to the big scary yakuza men, and majima sees right through it and laughs at his face. i want more of them taking the piss out of each other, because i think once hes comfortable, akiyama could give just as well as he gets.

My unpopular opinion about this character not sure this is a hot take, because i think most people who put a smidge of thought into the series would agree, but i really hate it when people take these complex characters and boil them down to just a few simple character traits. while i get that thats one method to make it easier to write them in your own fic and stuff, i just find it kind of insulting. to the character and to the reader's intelligence. like okay sure, akiyama is shown to be lazy and impulsive and irresponsible, but thats not EVERYTHING about him. and theres nuance to those flaws that i think goes over some people's heads.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. i wish he had been in yakuza: like a dragon. evidently hes really important to the main story of rggo, and since y7 is kind of a retelling of rggo, i wish they had included him. (im still gonna play rggo to see whats different and to see how akiyama is involved, i just wish it wasnt so hard to access for someone who doesnt speak japanese 😅)

send me a character !

#i uh. rambled a little lmao.#i just have lots of thoughts about him....#yakuza #akiyama shun #jazz noises #inbox #Anonymous

ANNOUNCEMENT: NOT A HELLO, BUT NOT A GOODBYE EITHER

omg hi ... im like . ashamed to come back after saying brief hiatus in october and then disappearing off the face of the earth til FEBRUARY but under the cut i will be explaining myself and the following, if youre interested (and a tl;dr at the very bottom if you don’t wanna scroll thru this obnoxiously long post):

the reason(s) i was gone for so long

what i was doing during that time (its just a personal account yall can scroll past this idrc)

the status of those um . halloween requests

the future of this account

i. so . Hiatus .

i know. i know . i probably mentioned it when i made the announcement post, but my mental health likes to go on one of those rides. yknow the ones where you go like up rlly fast then down maybe and then up then DOWN .... its like that. i needed a break and every time i wanted to come back or thought about it, something would happen and i would get stuck in my own head.

a big reason for getting stuck in my head was (and i hate to admit this ... i hate to admit that i have Insecurities On The Internet) my feelings of inadequacy regarding my writing. i love to plot fics, i love concepts and characters and making little headcanons but i dont ... know if i love writing rn. and i thought for the longest time that like . whatever ill just push thru it its fine ill be fine but it kinda wasnt lmao you can kinda see it in my halloween reqs and what become of them when i get to that but i began to feel like nothing i had put out or would put out would hold up prose wise (and normally i dont feel like this im much more “idc its my life im living it” but thats not a rant for tumblr LMAO). i still feel like that -- like im better as a reader than a writer. but . You Know :-)

tl;dr: mental state go brrrrr

ii. anywhere here’s wonderwall

when i left, i was in a steadily decreasing mental and emotional state, made worse by a situation at work that really was a case of petty jealousy on my end and rlly isnt very consequential now despite how much pain and resentment it gave me when it Was a problem so i wont get into it. the tl;dr of november and december was me using work as an crutch and distraction -- i know my job, i do it well, it helped me not think about my responsibilities and obligations and inadequacies. of course, as the holiday season grew busier n busier i was scheduled so often that i moved 88 or so miles (according to my apple watch, which i ONLY wear at work since im never anywhere else outside my house) and fell into a cycle of showering n sleeping at my house before going back the next day. (theres definitely something to be said abt capitalism and “grind culture” here but once again its not the time or place snsjkdfds)

at the turn of the new year, i happened to remember a birthday card i hadnt filed away for safekeeping from a friend of mine that id been horribly out of touch with til that point. i started crying because i realized how out of touch id been in general up until that point. the month of january was great for me: i was focused, happy, and in a much better place than i had been before. the end of it brought me down focus wise and im hoping that enough time away from my distractions will refocus me bc i ... need it LMAO and though ive burned out from that level of productivity and gotten distracted again im ... trying to stay positive which i think is the most i can do 😁👍🏼

media wise, i got real into stardew valley (but burned out bc i played it extensively as a way to wind down after work), the pokemon platinum romhack renegade platinum (still havent finished it bc of school n i played it w the intent to see if i could nuzlocke it ... bitch its so hard but its so fun bc of it), briefly assassins creed: odyssey (im one of those ppl who completes an entire region before i move to the next so you can tell i burned out of that one + wouldnt have the time to properly devote to it even if i didnt), got back into genshin impact after pulling for xiao (after not touching it for like . months), and danganronpa. yes . danganronpa 😐 i Know. i stopped playing it after the second trial of the first game bc i was so hurt by the outcome and picked it up in late january only to get sucked in (thank god i had the foresight to buy the second and third games during the steam winter sale). rn im at the start of chapter 4 if anyone wants to come in my asks and um . talk to me abt danganronpa

tl;dr: I’m Into Danganronpa Now

iii. you realize halloween was three months ago right

i mentioned this in the first section, but i love to plot things. every request is plotted or at least has a solid foundation. i had fun detailing what concept i wanted to go with considering what i was given, and there were some bangers i might touch up in the future. but heres whats going to happen to the requests themselves:

there are two finished requests. one will be posted tomorrow and the other will be touched up (just bc i finished it doesnt mean its good 🧍‍♂️) and scheduled for next saturday. as for the ones i never got around to ...

i will not be finishing those requests. i hate to be That Person, but i feel like we all expected this 🧍‍♂️ what i will do is post all of my notes for each request in batches -- requests that have an @ to go with them will be mentioned in the post proper, but anon asks will be pictured. (there are some asks that came from blogs who are now deactivated but i wrote down all the prompts and remember most of those askers so ill cross that bridge when i get there) there will most likely be an excerpt or two simply bc i think i mightve written a few plot points or interactions in the form of bullet points. i rlly am sorry about doing this but i remember looking at my notion doc with all the prompts and feeling ... like i wasnt measuring up n it wasnt just to myself or to some intangible concept of “other” id constructed but it was instead to those who requested n actually WANTED to see and hear and read my writing and i ...... im gonna admit thats another big reason i avoided this site.

regardless, youll definitely get what i have (and likely more than just my bullet points and illegible handwriting).

tl;dr: im sorry. what i have in terms of plot, concept, and interaction for every request will be posted, but i cant say ill ever complete them and mean it.

iv. so what now?

well i mean . im not entirely sure how sold i am on haikyuu in the content creation department (as a creator n to a lesser extent, as a consumer). as mentioned previously, its no longer my primary focus. it doesnt mean im not into haikyuu anymore; i have a lot of love for those boys but i cant rlly say im even caught up w recent fandom activity and also havent even finished s4 pt2 LMAO thats on my to do list

and despite all that, i still want to share my plots n concepts and snippets and maybe even fics. it wont happen anytime soon. it might not even happen. but i mean . its better than me saying i wont write ever again shjdkfs but either way ill probably use this blog as a personal blog w the occasional ask game for dialogue prompts (those are always so fun i love making up aus to fit like . the most mundane prompts)

as for my works (past and any potential future), ive opened an ao3 acc here n ill be editing n possibly expanding on my old works to post there. tumblr, to me, is The x reader hub, but i figure more x reader fics on ao3 is never a bad thing.

ill be deleting/posting drafted posts to the queue since they were all meant to be queued anyway as well as (sorry again 🧍‍♂️) deleting or answering asks in the inbox. (moots if you get a notif from me saying i rbed your post from months ago ... mind your business) im very hard to get ahold of and its ... a problem. expect an overhaul of the nav n shit to reflect my new direction n also because i feel like i cant tell if my passion for carrd is shared by the majority HSDKLFS maybe its better to read my info in a normal post ykwim .......

and of course . if youve read all this n decided im no longer worth the follow, i sure as hell cant stop you. thank you for wanting to, at some point, hear what i have to say -- it means more than you think.

tl;dr: writing will be edited and reposted to ao3, this blog will be a personal blog with a hint of writing (sometimes)

the tl;dr to end all tl;drs:

im back! i wont be as active as i used to due to a lessened interest in haikyuu in general, but i have an ao3 acc now where all my past work will be edited, possibly expanded, and reposted. any future work will also find itself there. my halloween requests will be posted in batches as incomplete concepts, plots, and snippets of scenes; i wont be promising to finish any of them.

there are still fic concepts im attached to and want to finish, but i cant promise any more writing on my end. this blog will be a personal blog with maybe writing, not a writing blog with my personal thoughts all over it.

regardless if you stick around or not, its been crazy sexy cool (equal emphasis) being on haikyuu tumblr even tho i wasnt around for long ... even tho its not my main focus anymore, im still excited to see what the future might hold 🤝

love, ari 💌

#did i have an announcement tag #announcement #also regarding work hsjkdfsd the company i work for didnt give my location the opening for the full time position i wanted #my managers all agree id be promoted if we had it but we dont so i . hee .#anyway um i hope everyones doing well #some of my moots changed urls while i was away and now i have no idea who anyone is #its like when you see your familys friends and theyre like omg youre so big now! i remember when you were a baby and youre like 🧍‍♂️#and you have to play along bc apparently they remember you hskdfsd #im not very funny in this post but i figured id rather be honest considering my lengthy absence #consider this my comeback stage

"Another night of soft whispers, muted thoughts, and dazed loving. Puffs of grey smoke concealing the passing of orange candy, moving person to person through a delicate brush of wrist. Orange candy that ultimately found its way to the tip of your tongue, where the words you looked for couldn’t be found.

Those lost words were for the broad, handsome, stunning man who sat in the corner of the club. One woman on his arm, another on his lap, whose hair he mindlessly tugged on as he conversed with his peers. The words that now twisted your heart sore, and had you stumbling up to the bar and grabbing a glass of whatever was in front of you.

hi (//ω//) can u please answer 12, 18, 19, and 24? thank u and i love ur writing <333

tysm!!!! im glad u enjoy it <333

12) your weaknesses as an author

in terms of actual content of the text, i think one of my biggest weaknesses is that when there's a lot of movement/description of action i tend to get rlly repetitive with my sentence structure. in fact lately ive been finding myself using a v specific sentence structure n ive been trying to break myself of the habit LMFAOOOO. i also think i have a tendency to tell-not-show bc i wanna be clear abt what's going on askjhdbv

taking a step back tho, i also think i write VERY slowly and im not entirely sure the quality of my work properly reflects that. esp when i feel like work has piled up im like "nah i dont wanna write" and then i simply Dont for days or weeks omg its awful. i also dont edit v much! tho i wanna find a good beta reader who will do that for me

18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?

too many ngl. the simple truth is that EVERYTHING i read, ever, has an influence on my writing; but i cant remember looking at a singular work and it affecting mine in a way more than others. i think one of the most important parts to being an author is to read n absorb other stuff, both from the same genre etc as your writing and as far away from it as possible.

19) when it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?

uhhh well ok. i think most of my fics, on average, count as "more complicated" bc theres character arcs and development like. i write slow burns so ya. and honestly i.... dont outline most of my fics. im a MAJOR pantser, i literally start writing with a vague plot (like.... "reader is bakugo's neighbor and bakugo ends up taking on two girls and the reader ends up their maternal figure") and maybe one or two scene ideas, and the rest just. comes from there.

if im struggling, i might outline. with sleeping in the garden, bc the beginning bit is giving me trouble, ive just gone to the top and listed a bunch of scene ideas in a general chronological order LMFAO but for most of my one-shots i just jump right in! i write as i get inspiration for a while and just kinda patchwork things together and then once i feel like its coherent enough i go back through and write the rest. the vast majority of my stuff is relatively simple tbh, i dont generally have to think abt secondary chars bc x reader fics r lets be honest v self-centered. sometimes ill b like "mmm i wrote them too comfortable with each other here i should push it back" (this happens a lot in Hieroglyphs specifically) but im typically p good abt it

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

im not arrogant enough to call myself an expert on anything i researched just for a fic KAJHSBFV but!! i do have a wide variety of knowledge bc of this lmfao. rn its heavy on math and orchards (bc of Hieroglyphs) and. well im ngl i dont like kids so ive been doing way too much research into like what age kids start to write or lose their teeth (bc of Sleeping in the Garden)

send me asks from this ask game!

im gonna talk about a thing that i say on twitter half the time and honestly im slightly nervous bc whatever anyone says/does on tumblr, they just fuckin get yelled at by a massive mob that tell u to go kil urself like jfc

this mostly centered around fan content bc actual movies dont get the same shit yall are giving fic writers (i guess artists as well but ive never seen it, but im sure it does happen)

so like ive seen a lot of u ppl yell at fanfic writers whenever they write stuff that isnt fluff, or “pure”

dont get me wrong, im a fan of cute, romantic shit, i draw it all the time. + sometimes we need a breather and read some good wholesome content from whatever reality we’re facing

HOWEVER, when someone writes something thats complicated, it gets a lot of shit. Like... i guess mostly smut fics, but even if its not smut. like ive seen some of my friends get yelled at for writing smoking in their fic... fuckin smoking. thats it. mostly getting told “kids are gonna think this is ok to do” like ?? and the fic involves the person QUITTING smoking, the content is showing its NOT okay to do, and they would know that if they read it.

this comes to 2nd point. fanfic authors put tags on their work for people to avoid them, right ? however, i feel like people just see the tags, dont look at the content and go “this is fucked up” like YEAH ok it is but if you READ the content, you would know its not what u think ? sometimes it is tho, but i think it depends on the fandom ?

and i know smut fics are a more sensitive issue, i get that. and sometimes if a fic involves non-con or domestic abuse, i also get why you would be like “!!!! ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠!!!”

and in all honestly ive read some of these fics and lemme tell you, it is not exactly how you guys think it is. maybe some of them, yeah, but most of them are just. its showing through the eyes of the victim and how shitty it is to put that much pain and suffering on that person, like its fucked up. definitely NOT showing readers that its ok to do, and if a reader does take it like that then they’re pretty fucked up ngl (an example, when i watched ‘blue is the warmest colour’ that relationship is mega fucked up and its obvious it is but ppl romanticize it and its like... ohh... oh jeez.. ur not getting it)

or, like, even if its sweet consensual sex between 2, 3 people in a relationship with each other but involves kinky shit like bdsm, they still get shit for it ? like ?? i just dont get it ? OR EVEN, like, i know ive been told “futanari” is not a good term to use, but if the fic does involve it (mind you, most of them are written by trans women), authors fuckin get yelled at for “sexualising trans women” ? bruh they just want relateable content ?? theres even less of trans men smut fics, like trans ppl want nsfw content they can enjoy where the characters arent cis ? that would be fantastic. (i have read some fic where the author obviously didnt seem like they know what a trans/intersex person is, and thats obviously the type of author u guys wanna educate about. not yell at. educate. and if theyre refusing to learn then ??? idk)

IDK man, if you feel something i’ve said isnt right, please, like, tell me. discuss with me so i can have a better understanding, my tumblr chat thing is open for everyone. but pleae try and not keep it black and white tho ? yeah smoking, rape, domestic violence, etc. are all bad. i know they’re bad, everyone knows they’re bad. but be sure the content doesnt glamorize it before u get into one

#this came out way longer than intended #tfw twitter has a character limit and here doesnt #im just tired of ppl yelling at my friends and being accused of stuff theyre not rly doing ?
