what genres of music do you think the gaang would listen to? what about some of their favorite artists? i think katara would be a big olivia rodrigo fan and that aang would listen to a lot of taylor swift lol

aw come on now be nice to aang. he would have better taste than THAT. i think he would listen to a lot of disco, like donna summer. he would like upbeat funky music that you can dance to. and he’d have a pretty eclectic and varied music taste. like i see him also loving joanna newsom (and not just because divers is about his life). and maaayyybe he’d listen to taylor swift, like one or two songs perhaps, but his ass would NOT be a swiftie.

that said, katara would feel very passionately about her, although whether positively or negatively i do not know. but there is no way she is simply swift-neutral. she would care way too much about pop culture as a phenomenon. i think that even if she really did love taylor swift she’d always preface her name with “famous climate criminal…”

and look, i respect olivia rodrigo, i think she’s a talented performer and makes great songs for amvs (ty lee all american bitch kendall roy brutal nanami vampire, to name a few highlights), but if anything, katara would listen to actual 90s riot grrrl and female singer songwriters, because olivia is simply not as good as her inspirations.

katara would also listen to any music that has a subversive political message or is sung by a woman with eminently powerful vocals. so a combination of punk, folk, some gospel, some heavy metal, and a lot of r&b. also i think she’d listen to very specific shwotunes and defend those musicals with her life.

sokka doesn’t have a music “taste” he has one song that he plays on repeat for weeks until he gets sick of it. sometimes that song is a symphony by beethoven, and sometimes that song is “fireworks” by mitski (okay, it’s often “firework” by mitski). but his one constant is kate bush. he’s fucking obsessed with kate bush.

toph grew up a piano prodigy so she has a lot of opinions on classical music and that’s most of what she listens to for the first decade or so of her life. then she gets introduced to like, tracy chapman and fiona apple through katara and sokka, and realizes that classifying all music with lyrics as “trash” may have been a bit reductive. and when she gets a bit older she gets really into indie rock and begs sokka to take her to concerts. and he doesn’t even really care for the concerts. he just takes her because he knows how much she loves it.

zuko is a mitskigirl thru and thru. i know that ppl say he’d be emo and listen to mcr but that music is too coarse and unpolished for his sensitive ears. he likes music with a beautiful melancholy quality that makes him feel sad yet gorgeous. he also listens to jbrekkie and jay som and other musical equivalents to ocean vuong. he’s literally gaysian what do u want from him.

suki is by far the most into music of anyone in their friendgroup. music is one of her favorite things in the entire world, and if she couldn’t play and listen to music she wouldn’t even want to exist. she’s in an indie folk rock band with her friends called the kyoshi warriors, and they have a lot of followers on bandcamp. she has an incredibly varied and extensive music taste, which is why she’s basically always designated the aux cord. sometimes she’s playing the cranberries and sometimes she’s playing googoosh and sometimes she’s playing otyken. and her taste never misses.

ty lee is one of those freaks who doesn’t really listen to music by choice. instead, she listens to: true crime podcasts, audiobooks (eg, of lacanian psychoanalysis), or sometimes simply has her earbuds in with nothing actually playing so as to seem as if she isn’t eavesdropping on the conversations taking place in her vicinity. but when people ask her what kind of music she likes she just says, “oh, you know…. pop.”

mai is also a mitskigirl she’s even more of a mitskigirl than zuko is (so she claims, although zuko would contest this). she’s very active on spotify because she loves making various playlists for different moods, different vibes, different blorbos from her shows. she likes all different genres, and takes suki’s recommendations very seriously above all.

azula’s two favorite artists are, unfortunately, rachmaninoff and kanye, and that’s all you really need to know about her.

Hi hi! Recently I got into playing idv again and they have released a christmas map where you can play snowball and ice skate it's really fun and cute I am wondering how that would work out in the self aware au, I think most of the characters would be confused why the map is there and what it is even for but maybe some would use the map to play around for a bit? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Christmas in Oletus Manor was so eerie and gloomy in the first few years. None of the survivors or hunters could ever imagine celebrating in the state they were in, but of course, with more and more invitations sent and people coming in to participate in these games, the tradition changed drastically.

They were all used to organizing the event with no external help and trying to have some fun with what they had in their hands. The veterans were busy cooking large amounts of food and others were busy decorating the manor with handmade ornaments (props to Luca and Tracy for making the flashers). They would feast, some would pray, and then party!

So imagine their surprise when they receive a letter that one of the interdicted parts of the manor is now restored, giving them a chance to have more fun and distractions. At this point, some of them imagine that it was your influence as a player, while others think that it was you who restored the space, after all the only thing that was akin to that before you was Leo's Memory, but it was reserved for matches and they couldn't always enjoy knowing that they were being hunted. Fortunately, it didn't take too long for them to want to cease their curiosities.

What a magical sight it is to see the kids indulging in snowball fights, some survivors like Andrew and Ganji trying to get used to the slippery ice while others like Mike and Martha skated around naturally. On the other side, Anne, Galatea, and Emma trying to build as many snowmen as they can (there are at least 10 of them already, stop them before the whole snow terrain is filled 💀.) while the rest such as Norton, Michiko, Fiona and many others enjoy some hot chocolate and talk. Joseph of course doesn't waste his chance on taking pictures of basically everything.

I don't like how this went but I'm just trying to clarify my thoughts anyway lol

the thing is. taylor truly wants to be one of the big dogs in literary songwriterdom. she wants so badly to have the reverence of fiona apple tracy chapman jeff buckley et al. she wants to have folk singer type of credentials. but the fact of the matter is she is actually excellent at POP songwriting and thus a lot of her attempts to be joan baez or leonard cohen or james taylor just end up coming out like someone doing cosplay. it's like she listened to the "i drew a map of canada on a coaster o canadaaaa etc" part of a case of you and was like oh ok duh im supposed to put in random details to fill out the scene -- but she does it without the finesse or depth those great songwriters had. and now here we are w seven chocolate bars and charlie puth and golden retriever boyfriend

CW//Suggestive Content?

I don't think we realize just how dirty Janus' Spotify Playlist is. We've overlooked it so much. In this little analysis post, I wanna point out the handful of songs that show the sluttiness behind the Snake-Man because damn this playlist shows he can't keep it in his pants. You thought Remus is dirty..you haven't seen Janus...

First is "I put a spell on you" By Nina Simone. This song is believed to be about the poisonous and hypnotic throws of love. The dedication and devotion of love. Specifically a jealous love. Of wanting someone who doesn't want you. I'm not exactly sure who this could be directed to. It could be directed at Roman but I think there's another song that hints to that. Could be Virgil but again, there's another song that could be that as well. Overall a sexy song regardless, come on, it has the word Daddy in it ffs.

Second is "Evil Night Together" by Jill Tracy. This song is believed to be about seduction in the darkness of life. The art of manipulation through allure and enticement. Feeling of intimacy beyond ordinary and the unknowns of seduction. Embracing darker parts of yourself instead of holding back. This song to me seems directed at Roman and what Janus did during SvS. Enticing him with the happiness of the callback and the positive praise he's always wanted. Keeping Roman on a leash of temptation for the betterment and self-desire of Thomas achieving his goals and dreams. With lines like "Who's gonna make you a hero?" It only just further shows that.

Third is "Cabaret: Don't Tell Mama" from Cabaret, which features Liza Minnelli. This song is about a young women who has an active nightlife working as a nightclub erotic dancer and performer. She doesn't want her conservative mother finding out about her exploits so she pleads for no one to snitch. It's interesting here because Liza Minnelli is in this and Roman wanted Liza as a wedding performer..and Liza wears an outfit very similar to something Janus would wear...I think you see what I'm going for here.

Fourth is "You're a Cad" by The Bird and the Bee. This song is believed to be about a woman falling for a man, knowing he has a bad reputation. She knows this man wants to be better but she doesn't see a point in him doing so since it's never enough. Even hinting that she could be worse than him, making them perfect for one another and partners in their chaos. She taunts and teases him "Tug at your line" , "Wait by the phone", "You're reckless with my heart" all lines alluding to the fact of attraction. She could and would waste her life on someone she knows is bad for her, she doesn't care. This song is 100% directed at Virgil. With lines like "So now you want the whole world to notice that you've come around, now you expect we'll see how you're really so much better now" and "What's the point pretending that you could be a better man? Just give in since you always end up right back where you began" all hint to Janus being aware of Virgil's departure from the Dark Sides and his attempts to be better and change but he knows Virgil will always fail. Virgil in response with "Ignorance" on his own playlist shows that he thinks Janus is blind to his change. But yeah, very "loving" song towards Virge dontcha think?

And fifth and finally is "Criminal" by Fiona Apple. This song is believed to be about a woman who used her sexuality to exploit and manipulate a man. She feels regret for doing so even if it's what she had to do. This song is basically the musical equivalent of saying "I've been a naughty boy, punish me". Another song seemingly directed Roman. Showing Janus does feel bad for doing what he did to Roman despite it being for the greater good. He knew Roman was sensitive and insecure but that's how he knew to get to him for a betterment. Yes, he knew it was shitty but it had to be done. It also hints to still lingering feelings. Like "oh I'm so bad to you, a villain you say, well why don't you punish me since you like that" You could say it's also directed at Patton with a line like "I've been careless with a delicate man" but that could be Roman or Patton honestly.

So with all of that said, it seems Janus is quite the whore. I mean 2 songs directed Roman in a provocative manner. And 1 song directed Virgil. And just the overall seduction and temptation of these songs shows his slutty nature. Snakes are even common symbols for sexuality. This snake man knows how to play his deck and dick right...or dicks if you believe that lol

Why I think the ‘Lucky Guy Isn’t real’ theory would be bad if it was true

Lucky Guy, we all know him, but actually, we don’t. There is so little information about him, the main theory in the fandom is that he’s just a placeholder for a different person. But…why?

Now, I’m not calling the theory itself bad. It’s a logical conclusion to make when you’re faced with the info we have. I just think that, if Netease is actually going this route, there is a lot of wasted potential. Plus, they did a horrible job at it.

Evidence for this theory includes: his subtitle being ‘Deduction Substitute’, the ‘I’m me, and everyone of you.’ quote, the vagueness of his rumor ‘We don’t know how many people have taken apart in this game; we know that he played the game.’ and the general lack of information we’ve been given on him.

These do point to the idea that Lucky Guy is just a figment of Orpheus’s imagination, a placeholder for a real person…but why this guy? Look at his design, it doesn’t fit with any of the other characters. If he’s, if the theory is right, supposed to be a placeholder character, why is his design so out of place? How did Orpheus come up with this modern-looking guy? You could say ‘Well, Netease didn’t have enough time or resources to make a new character, so they just used an old one!’ But Netease is known for their attention to detail in both characters and skins. Also, why would a placeholder character have such a distinctive appearance? Did Orpheus just…make up a person on the spot? This person, who looks nothing like any other character? It would be so much more logical to make a simple, completely blank model, one that could resemble Tracy’s bot. It would be low on resources without breaking the feel of the game. If Lucky is purely here to serve as a placeholder, he’s doing a bad job at it.

Also, a placeholder to what? That note was mentioned once, only to be completely dropped and never mentioned again. Like, come on. You could, again from a non-lore perspective, argue that they needed a completely blank, skill-less character for the tutorial, but Netease was completely fine with using Leo, a hunter with his own skill set, as the tutorial for hunters. If that page was purely a plot device for the tutorial, why didn’t we go for an actual character’s diary, like one of the other veterans, immediately. Why did they make a cutscene with another character we never see again when we could’ve gone over the first game’s story, or at least just a simple tutorial sequence using Emma, the face of the game, instead? If a placeholder was not needed, why use it?

Now, after showing that the whole placeholder shenanigans weren’t even that needed for both a lore and a gameplay perspective, I’m going to talk about the actual meat of this rant/ theory combination. Why it would actually suck if Lucky Guy was just a placeholder.

First, details and info that directly contradict the narrative that Lucky is not real; he has a birthday, there’s a description on the site ‘His world is like a slot machine that he always wins; but what will happen if he stops playing?’, he has listed likes and dislikes and there are snippets from quizzes that dig into his personality while Netease hasn’t had a problem with leaving him out of other things like birthday letters.

And for my main argument: why it would be bad, narrative-wise, to just leave this character to rot.

His design looking modern compared to other characters could give us a plot with time travel, which would reawaken the more mystical and grim magic elements of the story. In the games, where things happen which are not explainable with science, this would actually be a good element to see. Fiona’s, Eli’s, Hastur’s, Yidhra’s, Patricia’s and potentially Arthur Byers’ stories already show the more magical elements of the story and how they compliment the world of identity V, time travel would be a very interesting plot point to explore.

An alternate idea, often used by fan-writers of the game, is that Lucky has been in the games longer than others, maybe even competing in multiple rounds. This could give leeway to explore the nature of the game, something we’re narrative-wise creeping up on. Netease could give us more information on the actual nature of the game. Again, with multiple gods, multiple dead people, characters with magical abilities and prizes that oftentimes seem to good to be true, there must be some magical elements to the game. There are also hints that the games are used as trial grounds for testing of some kind, with every participant being given some kind of code. This could be something Lucky Guy dives into as well.

And what if Lucky Guy doesn’t remember anything about his life before the manor. Amnesia is a commonly used trope for Lucky Guy in fanworks about him. If Lucky Guy doesn’t even know why he’s in the manor or for what prize he’s fighting for, he could give a truly interesting look at what the games feel like for someone who doesn’t have a goal. He would just be a lost person, no identity to call his own, just trying to survive the best he can. This could be an amazing perspective on the manor game he’s in now, since he’d have to focus on the people around him and adapt accordingly.

He could also be a puppet to the manor. A helping hand to Miss Nightingale for running the affairs of the game. This ‘traitor’ idea could be a really good plot point for the game. While still keeping him as not real, he now has a much more interesting role which could be used to make a truly dark story around one of the cannon games.

And last but certainly not least, they could give their technically first character ever the same respect as every.single.other character in the game and just give him a backstory. Not every story has to be connected to the manor itself, there are plenty of characters that were not connected to the manor in any way, shape or form before their game. All characters have a story, survivors and hunters alike. If they are not their own person, they are a part of a different character’s identity, used to propel their story forward. Why would what arguably is the starting point of Identity V as a whole be exempt from this? It’s no fun to have a character with nothing in a game specifically known for its interesting characters and wild stories. Even if it’s a bit of a late start, Netease, you have the foundations. Through quotes, introductions and snippets, you have a base. It’s not too late to give a character that is rotting both in lore and in gameplay a bit of use. Every single detail can be useful of storytelling, a big corporation probably doesn’t need a teenager to tell them that. Why would you let as big of an opportunity as a full character pass by? There is so much that can happen by adding an extra character to a story, especially one that has potential, as I have shown in both my own writing and this mini-essay written out of pure passion for a character. It’s never too late to pick up an old project and work on it again. Who knows, maybe you’ll make a masterpiece?

As a more personal, opinionated reason of why this post has this title; I think letting a full-on character go to waste is, well, wasteful. There’s so much potential in this character, especially since Lucky, right now, is still empty. That old diary page could be turned into a full-on book, that face with no name could be turned into the pillar of a story. You already have framework, the fact that he’s coming in later can now actually help focus on where there’s more expansion needed. He could be a perspective we haven’t gotten yet. A confused, lost guy who’s slowly figuring out what’s going on, not being blinded by the race to the prize, a pawn for the puppet master of the game to set in and pull something wild, someone who’s tired of the fighting, trapped inside a hellscape for far too long, someone with the knowledge of times not yet past, able to give insight to things others can’t have yet, a person with his own desire, trusting on his luck to keep him safe or even something entirely different. There’s so much more that you could do with this character than just an old placeholder with questionable logic behind it that wasn’t even needed in the grand scheme of things. You have a character, Netease, do something with it.

okay, hear me out. I have an idea for a fanfiction of sorts? like, I'm using songs as reference and stuff, idk tbh.

but like I have a storyline that connects most blur, arctic monkeys, franz ferdinand, and the killers songs. (yay writers block 😒)

so basically each of blur's albums are separate stories of people that live close together but never really know each other (they're unnamed for now) but we have some recurring characters (John, probably Tracy ) and like it's like their big moments in life (parklife is Tracy's breakdown fr) and then the ballad of darren is all of their goodbyes as they die, leaving traces of their magic to the next generations.

and like there's magic in them, but it's been diminishing quickly for years. there's still traces of what they used to be in them (fae, vamps, werewolves, wendigos, banshees, idk crickets or something)

and the next generation is explained in franz ferdinand (literally everything) , the killers' hot fuss (and more, but mostly hot fuss), arctic monkeys (everything except tranquility base hotel and casino bcs that's its own story)

franz ferdinand (mostly the debut album) tells the story of one guy who has more magic than usual (evil eye), falls in love with a jealous girl (bullet) who tries to extract his magic (ulysses) (the concept of extracting magic had been messed around with, but it wasn't super successful) and ends up killing him (diamante?) because her plan didn't work.

hot fuss is the same girl (psycho) trying again on someone with less magic but more smarts and the guy murders her to end his fear. (I'm still indecisive about the other albums because it's been a while since I listened to everything.)

arctic monkeys wpsiatwin is about another magical dude but he doesn't really know that he has traces of it, so basically it's about him going out a lot. (perhaps vampires is a bit strong, but... is about a normal (no magic) person having an encounter with a bunch these magic people and assuming that they're vampires.) also, normal people don't care for magic people because they say it's a bunch of nonsense.

fwn is where gets more interesting. I feel like my brianstorm animation idea would work here? like the two scientists are trying to find a reasonable way to explain the magic, one is magic and one isn't and the non magic one kills the magic one for his research. the other tracks are definitely part of other characters' lives, just like in blur's stuff.

humbug is about another love story with a human dude and a magic gal (definitely called Fiona) and their tragic relationship. sias is part of their shenanigans and probably a few other characters. (excluding brick by brick bcs no.) am and the car are just  additions to the other established characters, bcs I don't think there's a ton of world building (yk, I take that back, the car is definitely about two older people that maybe are still around from blur era?)

idk I had a really good dream that explained all of this wayyyy better than I could awake.

The office

Part one

Everyone at the office had been gathered into the dining hall, it was a small office of 21 people but part of a much bigger company across the country.

There was muffled chat between the employees as they waited for their new CEO to address them.

The door opened and a small woman, around 5’3” entered the room, she wore a white silk blouse tucked into tight black leather pants and black leather heeled boots. She was in her mid 40s and the leather pants showed off her rounded hips and large round arse perfectly, and she knew it.

She was followed by two taller women both around the same age and dressed in formal business suits.

She stood on a small platform that had been positioned at the front of the hall and looked down at everyone with a smile.

“Good morning everyone and thank you for coming, my name is Jacquline Jones and as you’re aware I’ve recently become the majority shareholder of the company”.

Everyone remained silent as her gaze and demeanour held the room.

“I’ll speak with you all individually about the way forward, but I just wanted to let you know there are going to be some changes around here and across the company as a whole, now wait for you name to be called and then I’ll see you one at a time in my office”

With that she left the platform and strode out of the room.

The employees all looked around at each other, some shrugging their shoulders and started to chat in small groups.

There were four women and 16 men, the four women were all called first and then the men.

At lunchtime they reconvened in the dining hall, now a much smaller group, the four women, Fiona, Tracy, Hayley and Kim were all there but only 5 men remained and they looked very subdued.

Jacquline entered once more flanked by her two assistants.

“OK” she started “I’ll explain what’s gone on so we’re all a little clearer about the way forward”

She looked around with a smile, the women all smiled back, the men mainly had blank stares on their faces.

“Everyone who is no longer here has left the company and been escorted from the building, those of you that are left have all ‘agreed’ to stay on and work under the new terms and conditions” she smiled down at the four women

“The ladies will be promoted and all vacant posts will be filled by women”

She then turned her attention to the remaining men

“You ‘boys’ for one reason or another are still with us, your wives and partners if you have them have all happily agreed with my new way of working, especially once I told them of your internet history, fake email accounts and suchlike”

The men all looked sheepishly at the floor

“Now ladies you may return to your desk” Jacquline smiled at them as they left the hall

“You five follow me” she grinned and marched out with the 5 men in toe and her assistants bringing up the rear.

They went down in the lift to the lower ground floor and arrived in a room that was completely white, there were two nurses waiting for them.

Jacquline went and sat in a large leather chair.

Sean, Tom, Jason, Chris and Scott all looked slightly worried when Jacquline spoke

“Now we have to get you all kitted out properly so take all your clothes off”

The men looked at each other and then at the five women watching them

“Come on, don’t be shy, we’ve seen it all before, and you’re certainly not worried when you’re showing it around the internet”

Slowly the men all started undressing until they were down to their underwear, Jacquline raised an eyebrow

“Continue” she said

Again the men looked around and one by one all removed their underwear.

The nurses moved towards the men with measuring tapes and proceeded to take measurements of the 5 men’s flaccid cocks, Scott was the winner as his hung a good 6” and the nurse taking the measurements winked and Jacquline, Tom, Jason and Chris all came in at the 3” mark and Sean was very small at 1”

“Excellent boys, we’ll done, now get yourselves hard”

The men all looked shocked

“Oh come on it’s not like you’ve never had a wank before” Jacquline giggled “help them out girls”

The two assistants and the two nurses all lifted their skirts showing off their shapely stocking covered legs and tiny panties, this seemed have the desired effect as all 5 cocks immediately stated to harden. Again measurements were taken. Scott didn’t disappoint coming in a 9” and very thick, Tom and Jason were both at 5” Chris at 4” and Sean was last at 3”

Jacquline rose from her seat and approached the men, in turn she held them each by the balls and looked them in the eye

“These belong to me now” she sneered “ok shower time”

One of the nurses opened a door and the men were directed through into a small shower, the door was closed behind them and almost immediately freezing cold water was thrust upon them. They remained in the shower for a good 5 minutes before the door was opened and they were thrown towels by the nurses and assistants.

“Stand against the wall until you name is called” Jacquline ordered “ok Chris you first, hop on the table and lie on your back, Chris complied without so much of a word, his head spinning with what was going on, immediately the nurses restrained his wrists and ankles to the bed. He was fitted with a stainless steel collar with a small black box on the side and a O ring on the front, black leather wrist and ankle restraints and then Jacquline approached with a small black bag

“Now we’ve took your measurements so this will fit perfectly” she said and took out a shiny stainless steel cock cage, she pulled his cock and balls through the ring, applied some lube to his cock and slid the cage down his limp member, a quick turn of the key and that was that. Chris was released from the table and looked down at his tightly confined cock in shock. The others watched in fear as one by one they all received the same adornments, Jacquline giggled when it came to Sean and said

“We had to get you a special tiny one, it’s called the nub” when Sean looked down his penis had virtually disappeared.

Scott was last, he also received the collar and restraints but when Jacquline opened his bag there was just a half inch thick steel cock ring, she pulled his cock and balls through, applied some lube and and gave his cock a few strokes, it immediately started to harden and become full engorged. She then attached a tag to his collar in the shape of a bulls head

“We have other plans for you sweetie” she grinned
