#Dr Kun fits too

[wariofranchisefanblog]

I am in a major Wario’s Woods mood and mentioned I may write down my concepts of how I’d do a sequel fic and yep, doing just that now.

Not sure if I’ll ever pursue it, but I did want to at least muse a bit about how I’d imagine a follow-up. Trying to make it fit with how we know the characters now, while also adding things relevant to my interests.

One of the big concerns for it is how to justify Wario as the villain, since he has long stopped being a pure antagonist and the answer is quite simple:

Rudy.

When Rudy returned in Dr. Mario 64, he was significantly shrunk and generally portrayed as more vulnerable than in Wario Land 3, down to catching a cold. This is where personal interpretation and headcanon come in, as I imagine him to have lost a lot of his power, following his defeat at Wario’s hands and naturally, he wants that back.

Naturally, there needs to be a reason the peaceful woods tie into this, so I imagine the Sprites of the forest guarding a treasure containing the power Rudy needs to restore himself to his old strength. 

How to find it though? Wario. Making sure Wario learns of there being a treasure, he catches him off guard and brainwashes him to use his literal nose for treasure to uncover it. The brainwashing part being to ensure Wario in his greed doesn’t somehow accidentally set that power free in a way that puts it to waste. 

To aid him and ensure that they are uninterrupted, he let’s Wario hire his old minions from both versions of Wario’s Woods:

Who I imagine as a WarioWare type company of misfits, only instead of making games, they’re goons for hire, for shady business, with Katsini as the head of the company. They note Wario seems odd compared to last time they saw him, but business is business.

So they invade the peaceful woods and imprison the sprites which, for some nice callbacks, include the elder and Alice from the Comic BonBon adaptations of Mario & Wario and Wario’s Woods.

One sprite gets away though and it’s the one who aided Toad in Woods. She is never identified as anything but a Sprite in the manual, however both KC Mario and Kun go with her being Wanda:

So I go with that too, she even shares the same species name, so it checks out.

Wanda travels to the Mushroom Kingdom for help, however, Mario, Luigi and Peach are currently out to visit another kingdom, so the only one left for her to ask, that she knows, is Toad.

She isn’t really worried though, given he helped her in the past and while timid about it, he agrees and the two head off. That said, they are followed by someone and anyone who knows me can imagine who that is:

Yep, Kinoppe. 

I just love her a lot and I like interpreting her as someone who was always around, just never seen, since she is more of a civilian that only accidentally gets involved in adventures, but this time joins in on purpose, excited to see her personal hero Toad in action.

She very much takes Birdo’s role, being a look-out for when Wario tries to mess with things, which thanks to Rudy’s involvement, can even be justified as something like magic, with Wario peeking in to see how the intruders are doing.

Much like Birdo with her encouraging words, Kinoppe also serves as emotional support. 

A thing with Mario characters is that how they act can fluctuate depending on their role. Peach has had maaaaany very helpless depictions as a damsel, despite clearly being capable as many other games show as well, down to having her own adventures.

For this I characterize Toad as timid, but brave. Afraid, but ready to step up and do the right thing. That said he deals with insecurities and not knowing how to deal with the pressure of being seen as a hero. It’s nothing new to Mario, but for Toad, being the sole main hero and subject of Wanda’s belief in him and Kinoppe’s admiration of him, is something very foreign to him and he doesn’t know how to handle that yet.

Also gives an excuse for just a biiiit of teasing.

It’s not something that ever comes up on the blog, since Wario to me isn’t the character or series for it, but I do have a lot of interest in romance and a more gentle character like Toad is a nice means to sprinkle a little of that in.

Anyways, the trio adventure through the woods with many shenanigans happening, using the locations from SNES Wario’s Woods like the mountain area as a base. Along the way they face off against the bosses, with the SNES opponents being moreso mooks, while the NES ones are the big bosses.

Eventually they make it to Wario, who has found the treasure and is acting highly strange, being a mix of his Land onward power-set and looking and acting more deranged, like in his Super Mario Land 2 debut.

After a hard battle, Wario is freed from his possession, but unfortunately, Rudy has gotten a hold of the treasure and restored his power, using it to turn all the Sprites, even Wanda, into monsters like in Land 3.

When all seems lost Toad and Wario team up to take down Rudy, with the latter being more than happy to get some payback and the two take him out, breaking the curse he tried to unleash again and sending him packing.

With that, the day is saved. Toad is a hero, Rudy is chased off by the Woods bosses and Wario sneaks off with the now depowered treasure and nobody minds, since he did nothing intentionally wrong this time and the reason for them to guard it is now gone.

That’s the basic gist of it. Not sure if I ever will make it a fic, but I do want to expand on it.

I considered several other characters for inclusion, particularly Waluigi, Birdo, Toadette and the Ware crew as other possible mind control victims, but figured I’d be better off avoiding cluttering the cast too much.

Not to comment on something you posted over a year ago, but based on my impressions of the SHC system I think Rezo would, like Zel, also be a Lion/Bird (albeit I am basing this partly on his Revo/Evo-R characterization as well as his Slayers Prime characterization.)

Ha! Long-term engagement is fantastic, so thank you for asking! Let me do A Take on this - but I don't remember Revo/Evo nearly as well, so if you've got something to add from that point, please do!

Rezo the Red Priest, one of the primary antagonists in Slayers, is an interesting case - the Lion Primary is certainly there! That single-minded devotion to curing his own eyesight has A LOT in common with how Zelgadis wants to cure his body. Actually, I think it's fairly safe to say that Zel probably copies his way of dealing from the one adult in his life. However, as far as Secondaries go... There are indeed points to be made for Bird. The sheer breadth of his knowledge - this is a man who goes on to master all the known types of magic to cure his ailment. But there's something to it that's more than tools. Rezo's... I want to say, expansive and systematic in a way few Bird secondaries ever reach, and he is also more nose-to-the-grindstone about it. Where Zelgadis picks up relevant tricks of the trade, Rezo just goes "well, if anything can fix this, it's magic." And he learns everything about magic. Not just what he thinks he needs to. He learns everything.

And the social side of how he works! Even though he doesn't really care for other people's blindness - at least at the point we see him in the first season of the anime - he acquires a reputation as one of the kindest mages, who goes on to heal other people in droves. It's this interesting combination - Rezo doesn't care about other people; but he also... Doesn't lie about his capabilities. He doesn't make up a Persona, the way Zel perhaps would have ("heartless swordsman!") Instead, he lets people project onto him and becomes what they need; he uses them for his own purposes but in a way that they are glad to be used.

He also doesn't keep people around for specific purposes. Bird secondaries have contacts; Rezo has minions and likely more than a few people who owe him their life and health. Even though he, too, has a lonely, ultimately selfish cause, he is enmeshed into Community to an extent Zelgadis would be terrified by.

And the way Zel gets through to him, when fighting Shabranigdo! "Do you really wish to destroy the world you wanted to see so much?" While I wrote earlier that Zel appeals to an Idealist morality here - and I think he does, Lion to Lion - I do think that this appeal also stirred the Badger, which is by its nature very global.

When Zel succeeds, Rezo doesn't bring down Shabranigdo from the inside. He holds him off. Endures. Just enough for Lina to do her thing.

This could be a Bird Secondary... But I think that's a Badger Secondary. In her description of the SHC archetypes, @wisteria-lodge calls the Lion/Badger "The Lynchpin", and notes how they are often the center of a wheel, and the center of events. Rezo would be an unusually non-group oriented Lynchpin - perhaps because we see him at a very desperate point - but the sheer amount of Things revolving around him certainly fits the bill. Also, the Lynchpin is a very common "Sleeper Villain" sorting, and what is Rezo if not that.

Tl;dr: the original Rezo, I think, is a Lion/Badger. Kopii-kun, on the other hand...

Of Silver Tongues and Golden Days

Pairing: creative writing professor!kun x student!reader (female reader)

Genre: smut, college!au

Wordcount: 3.2K

Content: age gap (legal ofc), oral (female receiving), unprotected sex in the lecture hall, pet names, lots of praise and body worship 

Attraction and desire are incredible forms of inspiration, and Dr. Qian decides to show you just how much you inspire him.

“...And that’s why you want to incorporate sensory details.”

You’re trying your hardest to pay attention to Dr. Qian, you really are. This was your favorite class this semester, and you really did learn from him. But today, you found yourself phasing in and out of the lecture, catching only bits and pieces at a time.

If you’re being honest with yourself, everything about him turns you on. From the way his lips move as he talks, to the way his long fingers curl around the expo marker as he writes, to the timbre of his voice as he explains what was in the textbook chapter you didn’t read before class. At one point he steps away from his podium to the other side of the board and you can only wonder why did he decide to wear a blazer today? As if his attire of a button up and rather tight fitting slacks wasn’t enough, now you had to endure the absolutely alluring way the blazer frames his shoulders and torso.

Dr. Qian has always been attractive, one of the most attractive professors you ever had, but today it’s really starting to get to you. Maybe it’s the way sunlight floods in through the windows, highlighting the subtle gleam in his dark eyes and brightening the room with bright gold rays. Maybe it was the way he kept glancing in your direction throughout the lecture, those eyes boring into yours as he instructs the class to, “Focus on how you feel writing the scene.” 

It’s not the first time he looked in your direction, but today his eyes are alight with something intense, imperceptible to everyone except for you. His gaze ignites something within you, bringing heat to the surface of your cheeks as you try in vain to pay attention to the rest of the lecture. You press your legs together, feeling a flicker of arousal right between your legs as he says, “Really draw the reader in and immerse them. Make them feel what you feel.”

You let out a sigh of relief as he sits at his desk and assigns you a short prompt to work on. All you had to do was pick something in the room and describe it. You rush to take out a pen and paper, thankful to receive a reprieve from the onslaught of erotic excitement. Your hand automatically moves across the paper and you get lost in the words you write, allowing yourself the chance to get your feelings under control and stare at something other than his adam’s apple or his sharp jawline. The energy that thrums through your body is soon channeled through your hand and onto the page in the form of hastily scribbled words, and for the first time since you walked in, you can breathe easy without the staccato stutter from sensual stimulation.

Dr. Qian looks calm and collected as he thumbs through his book, waiting for the students to hand in their assignments before leaving. You make sure you’re the last one done, staring right at him as you add your paper to the pile. His soft hair is still perfectly styled, not a hair out of place, round glasses perched atop his nose. Standing in front of his desk, face to face with those hands, those lips, those eyes, has your breath hitching despite yourself.

“Finished?” He quirks a brow but doesn’t look up from his book, his tone deceptively casual.

You nod, biting your lip. You stand there at his desk, waiting as he sets the book down and picks up your prompt. He reads over your paper, eyes widening for a moment in shock before gleaming with satisfaction. He chuckles softly, and you’re not sure whether to be offended or worried at his reaction.

“Do you know what you wrote?” He inquires with a curious lilt. Honestly you weren’t sure what was on the paper, too lost in trying to distract yourself from staring at him.

He hands your paper back to you, the corner of his lip lifting in amusement, “It would appear that you wrote about me.”

You feel all sensation drain from your face as you scan the words on the page. All of your thoughts were right there, clear as day, even musings that weren’t consciously at the forefront of your mind. You described every part of him with the utmost detail, from his face, to his voice, to his attire, to the idea of a tent forming between his legs as you-

“There’s no need to be worried. I don’t mind.” His words thankfully pull you out of your riviere, his expression kind and calm as he admits, “If anything, I’m quite flattered to be a source of inspiration for you. After all, that’s what you are to me.”

He’s just as calm as he stands from his desk and approaches you from behind, hands automatically finding purchase on the curve of your waist. Those plush lips you spent a great deal of time eyeing brush over your ear as he whispers to you, “You’ve been an inspiration to me for quite some time, my dear. Everytime I look at you, everytime you speak, I feel a rush of exhilaration that I haven’t felt in such a long time. Ideas flow through my mind faster than I could keep up with, mingling with an ever present need to have you. I envision sweeping landscapes and gorgeous designs, backdrops for plots of grand proportions. At first I tried to ignore it, trying to maintain the boundaries of this...academic relationship, but I can’t deny it anymore.”

His voice is deeper than earlier, taking on an almost rough quality that has you weak in the knees as he speaks, “I want you. I want you more than anyone I’ve ever had. Truth be told I’ve been lusting after you all semester, and now that I see that you want me too, I just have to get my chance. That is, if you’ll let me.”

By now your head is spinning with arousal, and you grip the edge of the desk to ground yourself. You turn around and breathlessly tell him yes Dr. Qian, yes you want him too. How could you say no when he tells you in that voice that he’s been wanting you just as badly as you want him?

“Kun,” He insists as he leans in closer, chest pressed against your back, “I want to hear you say my name while you take my cock.”

His lips feel so good as they trail kisses down your neck, heated pleasure sparking from each spot he kisses. You gasp in surprise as he presses his hips against your ass, and you can feel that he’s even more worked up than you. The outline of his arousal is clear as day, and your mind whirls with lust as his hands grab hold of your hips and he grinds against you, pulling you against him.

“This, is how I always imagined having you,” He mutters between quiet grunts, and you bite back a moan as you feel his length slide against your core through your clothes, “Bent over my desk just like this, screaming my name as you gasp for air, fucking you right into the hard wood.”

“But first,” He pauses, relaxing his grip on you as he says, “I have to see the rest of that gorgeous body for myself.”

He makes quick work of your clothes, a flurry of garments falling to the floor in a rush of fabric. Statements of want escape his lips atop quick pants as he gets more worked up by the moment, “I couldn’t wait to see you like this, completely undressed and all to myself. And now, now that I see what you look like under those layers of clothes…”

He trails off and before you know it your ass meets the cool wood of the edge of the desk, his hands settling on your hips as he gazes at you with a look of sheer reverence, “You’re even more perfect than I could’ve ever imagined.”

Anything you have to say disappears on the tip of your tongue as he kisses you feverishly, hands roving all over your body. Within seconds he grabs one of your thighs, squeezing it as his other hand fondles your breast. You manage to tug his blazer off his shoulders as you kiss him back just as hard, humming against his mouth as he presses closer to you. The blazer falls to the floor in a heap of black fabric as you tug open the buttons of his shirt, watching between kisses as the planes of his broad chest are slowly revealed. He grips your waist at this, fingertips pressing into the skin harder and harder as his tongue slips past your lips. His tongue strokes your own as he maps out your mouth, and he moans aloud against your lips.

“I could keep kissing this beautiful mouth of yours all day,” He breathes out between kisses, “Your lips are so soft and fit perfectly against mine, like you were made for me.”

He pulls back for the moment and cups your face, speaking to you in a tone of reverence that has your cheeks burning so hot you’re sure he can feel it as his thumbs brush over your cheekbones, “You’re gorgeous my dear, from your dazzling eyes, to your soft lips, to your beautiful hair. Absolutely gorgeous.”

He takes a moment and runs his tongue over his bottom lip, eyes darkened with lust as he looks you up and down, “But the rest of you must be appreciated as well.”

His lips move down your throat to where your neck meets your shoulder, dancing over the skin of your collarbone as he muses aloud, “You look positively delectable, my dear. It’s almost too good to be true, that I can see every inch of your skin, touch every part of this glorious form.”

Heat continues to burn atop your cheeks as his hands fondle your breasts, kneading the flesh in his eager hands, “You are truly something to behold, from the peaks of your breasts to the valley of your waiting core. You need only ask, and I would travel this landscape every day.”

His head moves down quickly, pure need slowly overtaking his desire to explore you. He traces a line right down the middle of your torso with his mouth, all the while describing each bit of you in exquisite detail. His lips press against every part of you, even your imperfections, insisting they add to the absolutely radiant portrait that is you. The mixture of timidity and titillation flowing through you becomes more overwhelming by the moment, swirling in a viscous pool in the pit of your stomach. To think that he’s coming up with these poetic descriptions off the top of his head, all because of you, has you more turned on than you ever thought possible. 

His face is nestled between your breasts, nuzzling the flesh as he mumbles, “You’re a work of art, like a statue carved by the greatest sculptor, and crafted from the finest stone in the land. The most delicate and meticulous brush strokes came together to form the painting that is you, more worthy of awe and wonder than the birth of Aphrodite herself.”

The next thing you know he’s kneeling beneath you, teasing your legs apart with practiced ease before pressing open mouthed kisses just below your navel. He looks up at you with those eyes as he slowly teases his way down to the apex of your thighs, those eyes now alight with eroticism and pure esteem. He doesn’t stop mumbling about how beautiful you are as he mouths at your thighs, using a hint of teeth to punctuate his points, just enough to make you gasp and grab his hair. 

You let out a rather undignified squeak as he buries his nose in your heat, taking a long inhale. He picks up on your shyness as chuckles as he pulls back, remarking, “Remember what I said about sensory details, my dear. Every little bit counts, and might I say your scent is absolutely intoxicating.”

Abashment doesn’t get the chance to fully form as his tongue starts mapping out the folds of your centre, moving slowly as if he’s trying to memorize every bit of you. You keep your grip on his hair as pleasure flickers through your core like candlelight with each stroke of his skilled tongue.

“You taste even better than you look,” He notes, fingers curled around your hips as his thumbs spread you open, “Like the most succulent nectar the world could offer.”

His tongue runs over your clit just as languidly, eyes transfixed on your entrance between licks. He hums lowly between the unhurried laps of his tongue as he muses aloud, “It’s fascinating, how your juices flows from the petals of your delicate flower with each flick of my tongue. I swear, I could feast upon the absolute ambrosia that is your slick arousal for an eternity, and still never be satisfied.”

He licks more incessantly at your flaring heat, growing more and more desperate by the moment as he indulges in the addictive delicacy that is your core. You arch your back as he moves faster and faster, panting as that flame of pleasure burns with greater intensity with each passing moment, especially when he wraps his lips around your clit and sucks. You feel him slowly ease two fingers past your entrance and thrust, shuddering from the vibrations as he remarks how tight you are right against your clit. You buck your hips as he slowly pumps his fingers inside you, letting out a whimper as his fingertips reach the sensitive bundle of nerves deep inside you. Your excitement builds and builds, the coil of lust tightening in the pit of your stomach.

He stops right before you cum, his gaze gleaming with desperation as he tells you, “I can’t wait another second. I have to fuck you, and I have to fuck you now.”

Your back meets the cool wood of the desk as he frees his cock and slowly eases his way inside you, “I’d much rather have you like this, so I can see the entirety of your flawless form while I fuck you.”

You bite your lip as his sheer girth stretches you like no one else has before, gasping out a whimper as his length plunges deeper inside you than anyone you’ve ever had. He holds your face in his hands as you get used to the size of him, a humored rumble giving his voice a slight lilt, “I understand I require quite the adjustment. There’s no rush. But please, when I do fuck you into this desk, don’t hold back the splendid symphony of your sensual sonority. I want to hear everything.”

With a languid exhale you relax and nod to tell him to start, gripping his biceps as he starts thrusting into you. You press your fingertips against the toned muscle through the fabric of his shirt, panting out moans and whines of pleasure as his cock slides in and out of you. He grunts through clenched teeth, forehead hovering above yours as he mutters, “Oh fuck you feel amazing, with your velvet heat rippling around me. Fuck you’re so fucking tight.”

You can tell he’s losing his composure, his brilliantly constructed musings slowly giving way to more vulgar statements of carnal hunger. His brows knit above his closed eyes and he stops talking all together for the moment, lips parted to let out the most sensual, erotic sounds of pleasure you’ve ever heard. It’s absolutely melodic, the way his voice deepens and dances atop the waves of euphoria that course through you with each dive into your core, a rough grunt pitching the end of each groan. It’s enough to have your clit pulsing as he thrusts into you, and you grip onto him tighter as you lose yourself in the absolute bliss that overcomes you.

Grabbing your hip with one hand as he starts fucking you faster, his other hand bracing himself on the desk by your head. You hold onto him tighter as he rams you into the desk, your body jostled with each thrust, just as he intended. His groans start to take on a breathy quality, and you can hear him quickly getting overwhelmed. He opens his eyes long enough to tell you, “Damn, you look amazing like this, my dear. Look at you, writhing in pleasure beneath me, squeezing around me so fucking tightly.”

The sheer heat of the flame in his gaze flows through you, mingling with the searing bliss that pulses through your veins with each deep thrust. His words become more poetic once again, his hand coming off the desk to hold your face as he speaks, slowing his thrusts for the moment, “You look even better like this, lost to the throes of passion. No siren, no femme fatale, no goddess, holds a candle to the absolutely enchanting allure you possess.”

He stops talking and starts fucking you harder, making you cry out as he hits your sweet spot head on. His groans get rougher and rougher as he grips you hard enough to leave bruises, and you hear the desk creak as he slams into you. The sound of skin slapping echoes off the walls of the lecture hall, mingling with your shared moans of pure bliss. You all but scream and toss your head back at a particularly powerful rush of ecstasy, and he takes the opportunity to lean down and press searing kisses to your neck. You choke on a keen as he bites down on your sensitive spot, sending pleasure spiking through you and intertwining with the waves of fiery euphoria coursing through you with each thrust. You arch your back and wrap your arms around him, pulling him down against your chest as you cum, an explosion of ecstasy overtaking your entire body by surprise. Through the haze of your orgasm you faintly hear him growl your name as you clench around him, and you feel him thrust a few more times before he cums deep inside you in thick spurts of hot seed.

To say you’re confused is an understatement when you hear the scratch of pen on paper beside you. Panting, you look beside you to see that he’s not tired in the least bit. Instead he’s fervently writing, still buried deep inside you. Absently, you ask what the hell he’s doing. He doesn’t seem to hear you, so you repeat the question, and you have to wait a few moments more before he tells you. 

“I’ve finally gotten inspiration after so long. Finally, thanks to you, there are words on the page again.” He kisses you, murmuring against your lips as he tells you, “I can’t let this be a one time thing. I must have you again. Please, my dear, please be my muse.”

You smile against his lips and return the kiss, telling him that it would seem that you already are.

[soren-apologist]

after looking at the new character designs, i realize that the reason i dislike these ones along with 3h’s timeskip looks is because it feels like, especially for the female characters, that the artists forgot that these are supposed to be medieval characters in war

now, all fe games have had stinkers (every pegasus knight ever), but my main issue with a lot of the newer designs is that they look like weird idols, not soldiers. 3h was especially bad with having strangely-modern outfits with the occasional piece of armor slapped on (if they even got that), but even down to little details these things bother me. why is edelgard wearing ankle boots that look like you could buy them today? why does shamir’s outfit look like generic biker fit except for the pauldron? ignoring those ones, it doesn’t explain outfits like hilda’s or dorothea’s that look like they have no place being on a battlefield.

moving on, here are some still frames of some of the new characters (helpfully provided by u/supergupo on the feh subreddit)

except for pseudo-jagen on the left and the dude in the top right, none of these characters look like they belong in a war, or even in a goddamn fire emblem game. to begin with, they’re all painfully generic. like damn, these look like genshin designs that were rejected for being too boring. and like… how do they make them all look both overly flashy and boring— it’s legitimately impressive. along with that, they don’t even look like they’re from the same game. compare toothpaste-kun, new villain, and flower crown dude, they all look really weird standing next to each other, like someone lined up their OCs from entirely different universes next to each other. also the art itself is bland which doesn’t help things

tl;dr: kurahana and now pikazo don’t mix well with the fire emblem-y vibe, and i feel like if they were trying to do a throwback game, they should’ve brought back some of the old artists

#fire emblem #shroud speaks #at this point i kind of just expect intsys to disappoint me with whatever new thing they release #lol

like cmon manz representative emoji is a peach

can't really put my finger on it either

like maybe it the masculinity (not meant negatively tho!) and altruism in the both of them(?)

both hot as fuck for no reason

other characters that i think suited him were falcon, winter soldier, (kind of) hawkeye, and black panther

Dong Sicheng/Winwin as Hawkeye (Clint Barton)

oki so i did have black widow in mind for him

and if im being honest it was kind of hard to settle with hawkeye for him

winwin is someone is focused and serious much like clint barton

i mean cmon man was a dancer and that shit takes dedication and patience

like learning how to use a bow and arrow

also had vision in mind for him too

when i first started to get into NCT winwin kind of came off as a timid person, and he's not really affectionate so it kind of screamed vision vibes

Kim Jungwoo as Quick Silver (Pietro Maximoff)

his cute lil personality

"bet you didn't see that coming?" ackkkk

is a caring sweetheart

like pietro wants nothing but for his sister to be happy and protected

jungwoo makes his members happy

Wong Yukhei/Lucas as Thor

okay so like NCT 2018 Halloween special kind of took over

personality wise, lucas and thor are kind similar(?)

like their sense of humor

thor is lowkey the most laid back avenger despite being a prince

and most of the time i can't take lucas seriously

also another character i was kinda of iffy unsure about

idk maybe its just me but lucas seems like the type that would shy away from responsibilities and his asgard duties as king for something more chill

then again thor did do that soooo...

Lee Minhyung/Mark Lee as Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

do i even need to explain?

lmaoo oki so like i was reading a post about how some people don't like mark

which i lowkey found hard to believe but then it made sense

like no disrespect

anyways I do believe mark is a hard working person and he does try to be humble about it but like also its okay to bathe in the glory and be shameless- then again easier said than done, again no disrespect- i love mork

pure hearted and true to himself

much like peter parker

Xiao Dejun/Xiaojun as Shang Chi (Shaun)

lmaoo man is 1/3 of wayv's walking meme group

every time im on tiktok lmfaoooo

lmao i guess the way i picked theses characters to match the members is based on the relationship the members have soo

lmaoo shaun's relationship with katie reminds me of luxiaodery (is that the correct name for them?... wayv 99 liners)

again hot asf

like imagine xiaojun in the bus fighting scene

Wong Kunhang/Hendery as Ant Man (Scott Lang)

also 1/3 of wayv's walking meme group

man is fxcking hilarious

another "do i even need to explain?"

just makes sense

lmaooo well actually i did consider Star Lord for him

Huang Renjun as Yelena Belova

okay so hear me out

i though of gamora or nebula for him too

lmao he's a tiny lil agressive man

ready to bite at any moment

very deadly

snarky (<< affectionate) and witty like Yelena

"i don't get my period dip shit. i don't have a uterus" *said with a russian (chinese) accent and the fact the renjun doesn't have a uterus*

like that line screams renjun lmfao

Lee Jeno as Black Panther (T'Challa)

RIP to Chadwick Boseman

anyways

when mark graduated from dream *sad noises*

jeno gave me hard leadership vibes

like he filled the role so well without actually filling it

and i've noticed how popular he's become lately with all these stage collabs with other idols

prince king jeno

nice ring to it ;)

sense of what is feels right and does what he believes is right

wants to do well for himself and his members

did consider him for hawkeye and falcon

Lee Donhyuck/Haechan as Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff)

sassy lil birchhh

haechan is a very caring person and althoug sometimes it seems like he's acting a certain way to hide his feelings i do believe he is very emotionally inteliegent- however he is kind of impulsive (emotionally)

reminds me of wanda

powerful bitch, like hello vocals?

fight with so much effort and purpose

needs support and is his members number one supporter

Na Jaemin as Falcon (Sam Wilson)

oki so like

this was also a toughy

consider hawkeye, black panther, winter soldier, dare devil, war machine, and a bunch of other... also docor strange cus mans wanted to be a surgeon if he wasn't an idol lmaooo

but tbh no characters really ever stuck with me for jaemin

he's lowkey someone is doesn't gaf and doesn't want to be here but still knows how to have a good time or make up for time

serious and yet isn't

loyal and supportive to his members

Liu YangYang as Kate Bishop

lmaoo renyang and kate and yelena vibes

like "bro what if i killed you, (renjun/yelena)?"

but like he didn't soo???

lmaooo curious and nosy

liek sticks his nose into everyone's business

whether its for funsies or a mission

but he does well in getting whatever information he needs

gave me loki vibes tho

Osaki Shotaro as Vision

he's so cute ackkk

kind of came off as an awkward lil bean to be but i think that was just because of the language barrier with the other members

but it also a reason why i thought he was a good fit to portray vision

cus they're bother still learning

not afraid to ask questions

supportive and kind of goes along with things

a bit naive and questions his morals or rights and wrongs

fast learner imo

Jung Sungchan as War Machine (James Rhodes)

okai so like

idky but i though he would have been a good match for star lord

kind still iffy ish because is he young and although this is a ff i fell like he would have matched a younger role/character

also thought he would have been a good fit for shuri

can't really say much

i feel bad cus this is a bit more of a last pick

i really did want him to have a character that was more interactive with shotaro since that are really close

also thought of a cloak and dagger duo for sungtaro

again might make dome changes so lmk yall's opinion

like im tryna take this seriously and make it make sense but also im not cus again this is for funsies

Zhong Chenle as Loki

again, im sorry but another "do i even need to explain?"

boy is hella mischievous with that lil smirk he always has

when he messes around with his members, esp jisung

lmao poor jisung

like "oh yall need an illusionist you say? no problem lessgo fuck around with some bad guys"

i know he's supposed to be a lowkey two-faced, flippity floppity bad guy but idc im making him good

cus deep down loki does have a good heart

Park Jisung as Shuri

hear me out

i know he doesn't seem like the brightest but like he really is

and i know yall agree because hacker!jisung?

yeah, that's what i thought bro

considered vison for him too

and kate bishop

and groot- well like a modified hybrid version of him

big brother jeno and little brother jisung duo

yeah

just yeah

periodt

Shohei, Eunseok, and Seunghan

okay so like

im not really sure what marvel characters suit them best

im tryna stray from X-men charcters

but idk might have to make some changes

js that haechan might justbe switched to deadpool cus cmon

and as i was writing this i had a bunch of second thoughts about with members were portraying which characters

im a bit of a perfectionist as you can see

Anyways! thanks for reading this and please feedback is and will always be appreciated! again i apologized for my pace! i am currently on winter break but im working so i haven't had much time to write anything :(.

anyways comment and reblog if you wanna see what i have in mind for other SM Artist and who they'll be portraying!

[basedkikuenjoyer]

Usually wait until I have two chapters but who cares? Break week upcoming and I have feelings about this chapter. Starting with the easiest, nonspoilery one. Not a huge deal, but said something about it last time. The idea that Egghead might be the same island Oden met Toki, which has a lot of cool potential implications. It’s not the signature spotted rafflesia flowers that’d make it obvious, but this shot does show the similar trees we already noted this time with the right type of coconut-looking fruit. So one more point.

There’s some amazing stuff going on in this chapter from the angle we’ve been looking at. Luffy straight-up taunting Lucci so blatantly Zoro’s spelling it out. A certain redhead knocking around with less cool alternate versions of Luffy & Makino. That whole segment offers a lot obviously, but let’s go ahead and wait for 1077 to do em in pairs like we have been. I want to think on it and see our next step, but this chapter pulled the neat little trick of dangling something I was juuuust starting to seriously wonder about. This time, I only want to offer a plausible answer on the table to that finicky question; isn’t it past time to give it up? What on Earth could justify a newbie hanging out in the ship this whole time?

Aww, Shanks has a doofy Grand Fleet who decided they were his underlings too...

This was honestly on the short list of ideas from the start, hell I might have even mentioned the base logic before Wano ended, it’s a layup if you’re pitching an opening for a Quartermaster. Either way, at least back when we were just saying hey...arc could theoretically fit this rough sketch and build around a twist. We’ve done well sticking to that even if it was kinda vague. Vegapunk got the lore dump out of the way early and now this is devolving into chaos all while we’re keeping some of those big cards like X Drake back and still nailing the right themes.

Drifting away though, our goal at the moment is to lay out a hypothetical for how where we’re at on Egghead could be resolved through a quiet new addition working behind the scenes unbeknownst to us the readers. It’s the Fleet. Got 100 Marine ships in bound? Scary, sounds like a good use for Luffy’s ~70 backup ships. You just have to get Kizaru away from them, and him leaping into the fray on Egghead early is the perfect moment to turn the tables. Unfavorable, but not insurmountable odds at a perfect rate to justify the upset through smart command. Especially when you have guys like Orlumbus and Sai who can be your seasoned field marshals familiar with naval combat, it’s really a perfect stage for a Quartermaster who’s bringing social/speech skills. Less naval tactics, more balancing the egos. “Now Cabbage-kun...I’d expect a star to know the value of waiting a little to build tension.”

We have this big Chekov’s Gun loaded, look at what’s possible. Think taking a Gorosei hostage would count as historic proportions? The beauty is how it all just...flows. Luffy’s vivre card probably was going haywire over the past few weeks. Say they trusted Luffy and let it smolder from being thrown in Udon, but when it snuffed out and popped back for the Awakening or whatever decided they should probably move in. That’d give almost two weeks to get in the area, especially with the three days post-Wano. What if they’ve been trying to constantly call for a while now? Snails pick it up as they’re leaving Wano...there you go, that’s a perfectly fine excuse for someone new who gets the value of numbers spending a lot of time for a few days in the hold coordinating. It’s a great way to rapidly get up to speed on the wider world and could end up keeping a bit of mystery on the enemy end. You could even spin it into a killer Tokyo Rose-type vibe.

I feel like that type of propagandist, something like Gen in Dr. Stone, plays absurdly nice with what we’re seeing floating around this story. Don’t tell me it wouldn’t suit that little drama queen more than swinging a sword.

deuce, ruggie, t*ey bingo

i know you love juice kun too <333

First of all how dare you/j

Deuce:

I won’t lie, at first I didn’t really care too much about deuce in the prologue but after 1, 2, I was like damn this guy is an idiot but it’s in a cute charming way. I also really love that he cares so much for his mum and wants to change his ah- less than stellar past for her if you ever listen to that nashid ‘Number one for me’ by Maher Zain it fits Deuce so well lol

And his Bromance with Epel is so freaking cute 🥰 *claps proudly for him when he one shot ob Vil*

RUGGIE

RUGGIE GUCCHI BOI AAKKKKAKKAKAKKAKJDGGSGH This fandom doesn’t simp enough for him😤😤 the literal embodiment of perfection! HE CAN RUN MY POCKETS AND ILL SAY THANK YOU!!! I relate so much to him, I personally grew up in a low income family so I really get the kind of struggle that Ruggie has. But also he puts up with Leona like a champ, and he’s not even recognized as vice leader for it >:(

Not only that but like the fact that Ruggies social-economic standing basically hints that the economy of after glow savanna is unfair. Maybe the royals tax the common people too much and mishandle the country’s economy and make poor decisions leading to inflation🧐 SO WORLD BUILDING BBY!!! But I doubt twst will ever explore this lol

Trey

Tbh at first Trey may seem like a plain character but then after some digging, he’s actually a complex person. Ok so hear me out- in chapter 1 at first it seemed like Trey was kinda just endorsing Riddles behavior and not really having a spine to stand up to him despite the complete unfairness in front of him. BUT through Riddles back story we start to see Treys intentions. It isn’t that he agrees with Riddle but rather that he wanted to give a sort of safe place to him, Riddle has absolutely no control of his live at home and Trey KNOWING this didn’t want his dorm leader to feel trapped or confined at school too. Ofc it got out of hand with Riddle taking things too far but the intent wasn’t malicious.

TL;DR Trey is a complex character and needs more recognition for it.

If you had to ask me what my favourite anime OST’s would be then here they are! Top 10 obviously because who doesn’t love lists?

I have amazing taste in anime OST’s btw, so I will be eagerly awaiting comments from those who haven’t already been blessed by these anime, telling me how good these tracks are.

Honorable Track Mentions from anime that didn’t make the cut:

Ao Haru Ride

“Ao Haru Ride”

“I Will - Instrumental”

“忘れられない時間”

Cowboy Bebop

“Cats on Mars”

“Piano Black”

“Rush”

Demon Slayer

“A Butterfly’s Dream & Anger”

“Kamado Tanjiro no Uta”

“Rengoku’s Last Smile”

Neon Genesis Evangelion

“Asuka Strikes”

“Decisive Battle”

“Misato”

“Rei II”

One Punch Man

“BATTLE!!”

“Mysterious”

“Seigi Shikkou”

And now on with the list!

10. Wonder Egg Priority

YEAHHHH, GOOD OST!!! I think the music is really cool and funky in this show! Probably the most unique OST I’ve ever heard. I love how the music can be so light and whimsical one moment, then “oh shit, we are fighting the metaphorical manifestation of your trauma and could very well die”. It’s like the kind of music you would have for an alarm or a ringtone. I think “Wonder Egg” and “花開く時” might very well be my favourite tracks, but I have a special place for “いぎ戦わん、乙女たちよ” as well. It’s upbeat and creepy! There isn’t a bad song in the OST, the only downside with the tracks would be how short they are!!

“WEP fans shocked that someone is finally talking about the anime.”

9. Ouran High School Host Club

Honestly what a good anime, we all know how iconic the OP and ED are but what about the OST? I have a bias for orchestral themes and OHSHC delivers that in spades. They have so many funny tracks that perfectly evoke the crack energy of the lads and Haruhi, as well as some nostalgic ballads that sweep you right off your feet. “Polka Capriccioso” is their anthem, the minute I heard this again I started laughing. Then you have emotional tracks like “Nocturne for Orchestra” and “Pavan for Piano and Orchestra”. There’s not a single bad track, (which goes for most of the OST’s on here) and honestly I’ll be incorporating some of these tracks into my playlist.

“OHSHC fans rolling up to every social function to be as LGBTQIA+ as possible.”

8. Beastars

I love this jazzy anime!!! Like yasss!!! So melodramatic and angsty!!! This show just has a really good soundtrack, it was really hard not to list everything lol. “Beastars - Classical”, “Beastars - Another Side” and “Hope of this World” have my heart forevermore, while “Impending Darkness” and “Louis’ Feelings” are fucking BOPS! We don’t talk about “Bite Me!”…

“There’s no shoujo filter, you’re just a furry.”

7. Dr. Stone

I DUNNO HOW I MISSED THIS SOUNDTRACK OR JUST FAILED TO APPRECIATE IT, BUT MAYBE I WAS TOO ENTHRALLED WITH ALL THE SCIENCE HAPPENING TO PAY ATTENTION? WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS?? HOLY SHIT THIS SOUNDTRACK IS SO EPIC???? JUST GO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING I GUESS, NOT A SINGLE BAD TRACK. I WOULD RANK IT HIGHER BUT I JUST STARTED LISTENING TO IT WISNSOALSPDK. THIS COULD EASILY BE IN MY TOP 3.

“Me ascending to a higher plane while listening to the Dr. Stone OST.”

6. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I can already hear the FMAB hardcore fans screaming about “FMAB IS PEAK FICTION!!! BEST ANIME EVER!!! THAT INCLUDES ITS SOUNDTRACK!!! IT SHOULD BE IN FIRST PLACE [gamer slur] [death threat]”. Shut up. I love FMAB, and my god when I hear “The Fullmetal Alchemist” and “Trisha’s Lullaby” am I frozen to the spot. I knew FMAB would go down as one of my favourite animes when it made me cry on the second episode. I watched this anime in 2020 and I still get nostalgia hearing the music. My two other faves are “Concerto ~ Brotherhood” and “Overture ~ Brotherhood”. Fitting since these two are my favourite brothers in fiction.

“Anime fans happy to see that FMAB didn’t take 1st place for something anime related.”

5. Toilet Bound Hanako-kun

OOOOOOOOH BOY!!! I first thought TBHK was just gonna be some pastel middle school reverse harem anime, but I was wrong, wrong, wrong! I love this anime and it’s music so much, I was listening to my fave tracks for a solid month straight. Also during 2021 I would just listen to a piano version of Tiny Lights during my online maths classes and sob my heart out. Maths is very stressful. This anime has RANGE!!! It has a lot of good comedic tracks, spooooky tracks and ROMANTIC ones. “Tomo Tomo” and “Firindotto” are such endearing tracks to hear, while “Fantasuteriasu” is downright ICONIC, but my absolutely favourite would obviously have to be “Sutarakushon”.

“TBHK fans when they get a Nene x Hanako moment right after being emotionally destroyed.”

4. My Hero Academia

I didn’t want to put My Hero Academia on the list. I’m not even up to date with the anime/manga — I’m still on S3. I have a love hate relationship with this show but goddamn does this OST make me so emotional. It makes me feel like I can do anything, and I can’t ignore that raw emotion. My Hero Academia was one of my first anime, I have to show it some love. My favourite tracks from S1 would be: “You Can Be A Hero”, “HERO A” and “My Hero Academia”. For S2: “You Say Run” (obviously), “Eiyuuteki Butou Sentoukyoku” and “Bakusatsuou”. Finally for S3 (which I never finished 💀) my absolute fave has to be “Bakugo’s Rescue Soundtrack”. THOSE DRUMS!!!! I SCREAM EVERY TIME!!!

“MHA fans when “You Say Run” starts playing.”

3. Hunter X Hunter

Oh yeah!! I started watching HXH because I found out the Among Us betrayed music was from the show, no that’s not a joke. I have also listened to Hyori Ittai an unhealthy amount of times. Probably my all time favourite song to ever exist, but we’re talking about OSTs! Truly the tracks for this anime are beyond iconic, you hear that music and you know it’s time for nostalgia. The thing with HXH is that it has so many OSTs and no, it’s not cheating to talk about all of them. My favourite tracks from the first would be: “The Silver-Haired Boy” and “The Silver-Haired Lullaby”. For the second OST my faves would be: “Zoldyck Family Theme”, “Go on Gon!”, and “Departure for Strings”. From the Phantom Rouge OST: “The Red-Eyed Monster” and “Emperor’s Time”. Finally the last OST, and holy shit is that an OST to contend with: “Kingdom of Predators”, “Hyori Ittai Lamento for Piano” and “Elegy of the Dynast”.

“HXH fans after hearing that HXH is never going to have an ending for the 1246396481623748292638 time.”

2. The Promised Neverland

There are no words for how much I love this soundtrack. It was originally going to be first, but I remembered one other anime with an OST that I’ve listened to religiously. If I liked a background song in an anime I’d try and find it, but TPN was the anime that got me to actually go find and listen to the OST. Even for the No. 1 anime OST. This OST is so haunting and ethereal, adding to the bittersweet tragedy of the show. Those motherfuckers bottled raw emotion in their music. My favourites would be “The Promised Neverland Track 1”, “Isabella’s Lullaby”, “Emma’s Sorrow” and “Emma’s Determination”.

(Edit: I forgot about how good Ray’s Retaliation is and how fun Dancing Krone is.)

“Ah fuck, ran out of ways to slaughter anime fans— ah well, Cloverworks already covered that with TPN S2.”

1. Violet Evergarden

I’ve listened to and enjoyed almost every single track in this OST. Each one is meticulously crafted in a way that adds to the world of Violet Evergarden. Everything about this anime is beautiful and the music, a thing of perfection in itself elevates the anime to where it is. There is not a single bad or boring track. Watch the anime and listen to the OST.

“‘Bwuwuhhwhhuwbbwbb’ - average Violet Evergarden fan trying to convince you to watch the show”

spy x family: the dark comedy & wholesome romantic's dream

do you like reading manga? do you enjoy the humor of gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun? do you marvel at the action scenes of one punch man? do you appreciate the softness of any kyoani production? if yes to all, go read spy x family! if no or hesitant, i'm here to Change Your Mind by introducing you to the series!!!

the story follows our main characters: loid forger (code name: twilight), yor briar (code name: thorn princess) & anya (test subject: 007). code names, you ask? test subject??? what am i going on about!?

the premise of the story comes from loid's newest assignment: operation strix, where he must work undercover to get close to & probe information from donovan desmond, the leader of the national unity party & threat to peace. to do so, since his target is primarily associated with an elite private school, loid must get married & have a child. through various circumstances, he's able to adopt the orphaned (& telepathetic) anya & marry the naive (yet deadly) yor briar, which gives us our unconventional forger family.

the action of this series is amazing. if you're not a fan of fighting or blood, view with discretion because spy x family does not disappoint with its feature of action nearly every chapter. it's the kind of anime-type action that makes you wonder is that even humanly possible? but doesn't take you out of the moment. every sequence involving yor fighting is *chef's kiss* absolutely captivating.

the COMEDY. is SO GOOD. it fits so naturally with the setting, which is a pre-modern/post-industrial age, also. one of the best examples to showcase the type of humor is when anya realizes a bomb is going to go off through a vision of a clocktower blowing up in the future, but...

putting a telepathetic child into a family that 1) has a father whose occupation is literally built upon secret identities & 2) has a mother whose outward ditziness completely juxtaposes her killer instincts is rife for comedic moments. it's a mixture of loid+yor hiding their true selves & anya struggling to keep up appearances as a smart kid who in reality reads minds to cheat on tests. spy x family is clever, quirky & there's something to laugh about every page.

the forger family itself is where the comedy shines, too, because anya is a girl who is hungry for excitement & adventure. she's a kid no older than six being raised by two adults who have no idea how to raise a child, let alone be normal. as a result, this unintentionally leads to "normal" familial shenigans all the time, and it's funny, cute, and heartwarming.

but past the action & comedy, there are moments that make your heart twist in absolute adoration. because the forgers, even if it's a ruse, quickly become a family: yor learning to care for herself & others; anya finding friends, family, a home; loid oblivious to growing fondness of his wife & daughter. the chemistry between the characters is incredible, genuine on all fronts & undeniably wholesome.

and, while it's not technically a romance, spy x family presents the fake-relationship/domestic au hybrid you can't help but love. loid & yor are great on their own, but together they're basically an unstoppable power couple as parents (+spy & assassin). it's likely a slow burn development as well where i appreciate the smallest intimate moments between them, and yet i still can wish for more.

plus, it also helps that anya is the cutest daughter in the world who also thinks her mama & papa belong together!

in summation, this series has so much potential & i highly recommend giving it a read! or if you aren't a fan of manga, the series is highly likely to have an ANIME in the works given the manga's success, so be on the lookout!!!! (however, it'll probably be a while since there aren't many chapters/volumes out yet.)

tl;dr spy x family is so good & i love the forger family so much 😭💞

#spy x family #manga #manga recommendation #manga rec #loid forger #yor briar #anya #tasuya endo #my rec #<< starting a tag in case smthn else comes into my brain i need to get outta my brain #my rambles #<< for anything that counts as me talking excessively lmao #long post

[absolutebl]

Something I was thinking about yesterday was long-running shows that allow us to see a couple's dynamic change over time, and how I don't think we've gotten that in BL yet. Specifically, I was thinking about Stef and Lena from The Fosters (Freeform), Ian and Mickey on Shameless (Showtime), Brian and Justin on Queer as Folk (Showtime), the entire cast of Noah's Arc (Logo). I was wondering if you had thoughts on portraying long-term couples over the life of a show and where yaoi/BL fits into that?

Ooo, interesting. The L Word and Brothers & Sisters might fit in a bit too, both feature long term same sex couples. I feel like it has to be more soap opera style drama for this to happen for BL? All the ones you name qualify more as sitcoms or long form dramas, then stand alone shows. But then again one season of one of those is no more or less long than a Thai BL.

So I'm thinking about Earth, Dr. Sam, and Stud in GMMTV’s Friend Zone 1 & 2. But I wouldn't call them a BL story, not really.

How about PeteKao in the Kiss series and then Dark Blue Kiss?

Or KornKnock in the Together series & Bad Romance?

The Takumi-kun series of movies might qualify a little.

Life: Love on the Line from Japan is a movie length version of this, I think it's probably closest to the kind of relationship following you're talking about.

China's 3 part Like Love series is kinda like this. It goes from high school through cohabitation and into vacation (basically honeymoon). It's hella weird tho.

And, in an odd way, Irresistible Love 1 & 2 (also from China) might qualify, but they spend a lot of time combative and apart, it follows their relationship from childhood into adulthood.

There are a few yaoi that do this, but they still draw out the will they/won't they getting together dynamic for a long time. I'm thinking about Yuki Fumino's I Hear the Sunspot series. Or Natsuki Kizu's Given. But while they have both been adapted, they only got one installment.

🌻

I really wanna yell about how gosh dang queer Mairuma is and just how, casual it is about all of this so I am.

warning for some mild manga spoilers (tho they’re mostly out of context so)

Like, the last thing I expected from a comedy series about a boy becoming the grandson of a demon after being sold to him was, well, it to be really fucking queer.

Like I joke that Azz is a massive Iruma simp (which he is) but like, he looks at him with doe eyed admiration and longing, he just looks so in love (for godsakes his safeword to pull him from a self induced Wicked Phase is Iruma’s name!) He got the big gay dokis for Iruma it’s so not even subtle.

And even if you want to argue it’s just admiration, we DO have canon instances of not straight romantic feelings on page. Gyari is straight up in love with Kuromu and even stated a desire to marry her (and the only person who was like ‘but you’re both girls?’ was the lone human). And then that arc ended with an ACTUAL HONEST TO GOD LOVE CONFESSION! And it seems like those affections were being accepted (ymmv but I got a ‘I know and understand, now prove it by winning my heart’ sort of vibe).

Also the fact that Gyari jumped right to ‘well I have TWO hands so, what if I just married both’ as the solution to her problem (that Kuromu was gonna marry Irumi, Gyrai was like ‘well I can just, marry both of them! problem solved!) has me wondering if poly relationships are not unheard of or that weird.

Love is love as she said.

And there’s Poro and Delkira. Like, Poro is very much, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a gay man. And super in love with Delkira, the demon king. and from the scenes we saw of them they were close (so it’s not like this was just him, like, pining from afar or imagining things not there) and their interactions seemed really affectionate and loving, so to me it does seem like Delkira did return those affections. Whether or not Delkira is was only ever attracted to him/men we have NO idea so I can’t say for certain that he was gay, but he sure as fuck wasn’t straight lol Side note I really love those scenes cause they’re just so tender.

wAIT I almost forgot Eiko, she got big dokis for Iruma after he saved her at the start of the school year. And then proceeded to get the same reaction later on after Ameli saved her ass so like. She hella bi/pan.

And if you want messy queer folk then you could make a hella strong argument for Kirio being big gay too.

And then there’s gender/gender presentation

people need to stop making fucking trap comments i s2g

Opera-san is literally some flavour of nonbinary or agender-they’ve never been referred to w/ gendered pronouns, only ever neutral ones or by name, are physically androgynous and even wore a combination boys-girls uniform while in school. Heck the author herself refuses to answer the question as to what Opera’s gender is.

In fact it seems like not having one is just as normal, even common, as having one given that ‘other’ was even an option on the character creation screen we saw on a video game so like.

And I made that whole post about Lindy and the devidol games and how his tail didn’t raise any eyebrows at all, which leads me, personally, to believe that transness is another thing that’s just accepted. Like I firmly believe a character could be like ‘hey btw I’m a girl/boy now’ and everyone would probably just be happy for them. It hasn’t come up but like, given everything else it just feels, right.

Even the crossdressing seems to be handled, decently for the most part, I feel. It’s not like ‘ha ha ha a man in a dress’ even tho is a comedy series (or at least like, not in a demeaning, derogatory way, and in fact every time someone’s crossdressed they’ve looked, really good). It was more, everything else that was funny (like w/ the devidol games arc the funny came from the fact that Iruma didn’t tell a single person what he was doing so everyone had to find out by seeing him dolled up on TV! And their reactions, those were what was funny.)

the fandom on the other hand needs a good smacking smh

Honestly I think Nishi is just very bold for realizing she can put her boys in cute dresses and then doing just that. Good for her.

And while a bit more, my interpretation of things, Kalego really feels like he’s some flavour of aspec (arospec mainly, but lbr any aspec would fit him I feel). Which I, as someone who’s aspec (and likes Kalego), quite enjoy.

It just, comes up so casually, so naturally in the narrative, and no one ever makes any sort of deal over it cause it’s just, a thing that’s part of their society. 

It’s just, such a nice surprise and kinda refreshing.

tl;dr Mairimashita! Iruma-kun/Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun is surprisingly very queer on multiple fronts.

till death do us part (dazai osamu)

requested by: @lilli-chae​ 

notes: the title is misleading because this might just be the fluffiest, most sickeningly sweet thing i’ve ever written. 

You fiddle with your hands nervously, looking at yourself in the mirror as someone fixes your hair for you.

The long white dress fits you perfectly, accentuating all the right curves and flowing down from your waist to the floor in a smooth wave. With soft makeup done to perfection, it is certainly a mesmerizing sight.

But you aren’t really registering it. You aren’t really registering anything at all, except for the thoughts wreaking havoc in your head, threatening to run away with you.

What if something goes wrong? Oh, no, I feel sick. What if the minister doesn’t turn up? Oh, God, what if Dazai  –

“Hey, (y/n)!”

The bright, chirpy voice pulls you out the chaos in your head, and you look up to see Atsushi at the entrance of the room, smiling at you.

“Oh, hey, Atsushi.” You say shakily.

He comes over to stand beside you, “Wow, you look stunning.”

“Th-thank you.” You say shyly, but the frown doesn’t leave your face, and you continue to nervously fiddle with your dress.

Atsushi frowns, “What’s wrong, (y/n)? Aren’t you happy?”

“It’s not that.” You say quickly, “Of course, I’m happy. I’m getting married to the love of my life. But…”

He continues to look at you with curious eyes, silently encouraging you to go on. You sigh.

“It’s just that…what if something goes wrong, Atsushi? What if something happens?”

“I don’t understand. What could go wrong?” he asks, confused.

You scoff, “When was the last time we had a day without some kind of incident?”

“Huh, true.” He mutters, but then quickly changes tracks, “But you’re worrying too much! Even if something does happen to disrupt your wedding, which, I’m sure it won’t, you have all of us here to deal with it, right? Me, Kunikida-san, Dr. Yosano, Jun’ichiro, Kenji, Kyouka…We’re all here for you and Dazai.”

“I know…” you murmur.

It’s true. You know these guys would turn the whole city upside if that’s what they have to do to see the two of you get married. But there is still something nagging at the back of your mind.

“Um, Atsushi?”

“Yeah?”

“What if…” you inhale shakily, “What if Dazai changes his mind?”

There is silence in the room for one painstakingly long moment. Atsushi looks at you, a frown slowly making its way to his face to mirror yours.

“Why do you think so?”

You shrug, “I don’t know. I just feel like he might. Marriage is a big commitment, you know? What if he thinks he has made a mistake?”

“Bullshit.” He says suddenly, and with such ferocity that you almost take a step back. “That’s the most senseless conjecture I’ve ever heard in my life.”

You look at him in mute surprise, and if you hadn’t already been dying anxiety, you might even have been a bit offended. But he continues before you can say anything.

“(Y/n), do you have any idea how much Dazai loves you?”

“I do…but – “

“I don’t claim to understand him better than anyone else. God knows it’s impossible to understand that man anyway. But if there’s one thing I do know about him, it’s that being with you is the closest to happiness he has ever been.” He puts both hands on your shoulders and bends down slightly to look you in the eyes, “You’re good for him, (y/n). I don’t know exactly what it is, but he seems more…real, somehow, when he’s talking about you.”

Your lower lip trembles a little, “Is that…really so?”

He nods, them smiles, “Dazai Osamu is head over heels in love with you, and believe me when I say this, he would set the whole world on fire if it means he gets to be with you.”

Atsushi sighs as he closes the door of her dressing room behind him. Of course, he knows getting married is a big deal, but he hadn’t expected her to be so very nervous. He shakes his head. To think that such a thought would even cross her mind.

Which reminds him, maybe he should check up on Dazai too…

“Kunikida-kun ~!! I think I’m going to die!”

“Shut up, you waste of space! Of course, you’re not going to die.”

The voice reaches him before he can even enter Dazai’s room, and Atsushi rolls his eyes. He steps inside to see Kunikida fixing Dazai’s tuxedo, while the latter refused to shut up.

“If anything,” Kunikida mumbles, “Today is the one day I will absolutely not allow you to die, so you better not try anything.”

“Exactly.” Atsushi butts in just as Kunikida leaves to fetch something, “Are you ready, Dazai-san?”

“What a stupid question, Atsushi.” He deadpans, then puts one hand on his forehead dramatically, “I don’t think I will ever be ready enough to face my belladonna!”

“Of course.” He says in an equally deadpan manner, then sighs, “Tell me how you’re really feeling.”

“I told you! I – “

“For once in your life, Dazai-san…Tell the truth.”

Dazai gives him a blank look, but surprisingly, Atsushi holds it. Finally, Dazai sighs.

“I’m…scared.” He says slowly, “Just because I have her doesn’t mean I deserve her.”

Atsushi frowns, “What…do you mean by that?”

“I mean,” Dazai rolls his eyes, looking away from the younger boy, “ – that she deserves so much better than me. Have you met her, Atsushi? She’s perfect, while I’m this…this defective excuse of a human being, fucked up in more ways than I can count, and I… I’m just not sure whether I can give her everything she deserves.”

“But…you do love her, right?”

“Of course, I love her.” Dazai shoots him a sharp look, “More than anything else.”

“Then that’s enough.”

Dazai blinks, startled a little but Atsushi smiles softly at him.

“She loves you a lot too, Dazai-san, perhaps more so than you realize. The two of you have stuck by each other’s side for so long, and you have never been anything but good for each other. She brings out the best in you, and you in her. And you might try to deny it, but I know for a fact that she makes you feel at least a little bit more human.”

Dazai’s eyes widen a little in surprise. He hadn’t thought Atsushi to be so perceptive. Still, it was true. Whatever little humanity he thought there was left in himself, she brought it to the surface. He sighs, then smiles slightly.

“Yes, I suppose you’re right…”

“Damn right, I am.” Atsushi nods, lightly brushing something off from Dazai’s shoulder. Then he gives him a sickly-sweet smile, “So, if you don’t want to die a very painful death at the hands of the agency, you better not be getting cold feet about this.”

“I – I won’t!”

“Good.”

Dazai’s heart almost stops in his chest the moment he lays eyes on her. The word beautiful doesn’t even begin to cut it. She has always been beyond gorgeous to him, whether it’s when she gets home after a long day, completely exhausted, or when she first wakes up in the morning, hair looking like a bird’s nest and sleep still lingering in her eyes. To him, she always looks absolutely magnificent, no matter what.

But right now, as she climbs the alter to stand in front of him, white dress flowing behind her, she quite literally takes his breath away.

She’s blushing like no tomorrow, and despite the hammering of his own heart, Dazai can’t help but smirk, “You look stunning, belladonna.”

The officiant begins saying something, but the fluttering of his heart and the static in his head is too loud to let him make out any of it. He only tunes back in when she starts to speak.

“Dazai, you and I have been by each other’s side for years now. I know how you feel about life and this world, I know how you feel about yourself and all those things that you think make you…damaged. I’m not so arrogant as to think I can save you from any of it. What I can do, however, is be with you, while you either drown or save yourself. I love you, Dazai, and I promise to never stop loving you, even if they drag us down to hell for it.”

His vision blurs a little in front of him, and it takes him a while to realize that it’s because he’s tearing up a little. He clears his throat.

“Ah, belladonna. How can I ever hope to match these breathtaking words you’ve graced me with? I’m sure don’t deserve any of it. All I can hope to say is…thank you. For being with me, for loving me even after knowing what I am. For not leaving.”

A silent tear slips down from her eye, and Dazai smiles.

“I love you, belladonna, more than I’ve ever loved anything in my entire life, and if I ever were to lose you, I don’t know what I’d do with myself.”

It’s silent in the alter for a while. There aren’t many people there to begin with. Just the agency members, and a few other friends, and they all watch with bated breath as the officiant continues and the ceremony concludes.

“You may now – “

Dazai doesn’t even wait for him to complete the sentence, leaning forwards and capturing her lips in a long overdue kiss, filled with gentle longing and affection.

He doesn’t really remember what he did or said after that. He has never been good with words anyway. What he does remember is feeling something very weird bubbling up slowly in his chest, threatening to burst out.

He thinks it might be called happiness.

[juju-on-that-yeet]

Unravel, Chapter 14/20

Work Summary: Antisepticeye has a plan to destroy Darkiplier, steal his power, and take over everything - and he might just succeed. What starts with Yandereplier going missing evolves into a messy web of betrayal and grief, of blood and tears, of old wounds and new faces. However this ends, Ego Inc. will never be the same again. Chapter Summary: After Anti’s devastating attack, all the egos can do is lick their wounds and mourn the ones they’ve lost. Some of them are coping worse than others. Warnings: Implied death + discussions of death, some graphic descriptions

Read on AO3

Enjoy!

~

To most of the egos, the first few days after Anti’s attack are a blur, spent in a haze of grief and despondency that turns them all into zombies. Half the egos have the nightmares that Natemare gave them to keep them up at night, the other half have the memory of Anti ripping out the hearts of their friends. Time is meaningless in the wake of those horrors, and hours can pass by with the egos doing nothing but remembering.

The only ego who truly feels each creeping second of each creeping day is Google.

Granted, that’s not true of those hours immediately after the fight. With Dr. Iplier and Plus both dead, Google is the group’s best medic, and it becomes his job to triage and help everyone. He stitches up and gives ice packs to the main group, he gives oxygen to and monitors the breathing of the weaker egos, and does what he can for the three dead. None of it is easy work. Everyone is upset, some are angry. Just when everyone has mostly stopped crying, the news of exactly what ended the battle comes out to those who weren’t there, and half of those egos start crying again at the thought of Wilford snapping Jackie and Marvin’s necks. No one blames Wilford for doing it given the circumstances, but they still grieve Jackie and Marvin, they still consider them friends, or at least friendly. When Silver hears about Jackie’s death, he goes silent. Once he’s been treated by Google, he goes to his room and stays there for three days, not even coming out to eat.

Google can’t care. Even once everyone’s injuries are treated, he still has too much to worry about. There are still duties that are now his responsibility, some that he thinks he’s doing better than others.

He has to look after Celine now, for one thing. She’s returned to the clinic once the excitement of the fight is over, and Google has to make sure her condition doesn’t change. He fashions a chip to put in her heart monitor that will alert him to any significant change in her heart rate, so that at least makes the work easier. Also in the clinic is Dr. Iplier’s body, and that’s considerably less easy to address. Google patches up the hole in his chest to the best of his ability; partly because it’s customary to fix those fatal injuries when figments die in case they come back to life, and partly because it was unnerving to look at the hole through his chest and the blood all over his body. Whenever Google looks in on him, someone is always there. Sometimes Host, sometimes Yandere, sometimes even them both together, talking to Dr. Iplier or crying or just sitting numbly. Google never watches long. It reminds him of the emotions in his own mind that he’s trying to avoid.

Those emotions start to swarm him when he’s repairing Plus and Oliver, both of whom have been placed on stretchers in his workshop for him and Chrome to repair. Anti broke up both their cores, smashing a chunk of each into tiny pieces and breaking countless metal plates and snapping countless wires as his hands went through their bodies. The only thing keeping Google from giving into the tidal wave of despair that creeps up when he looks at his little brothers is the fact that, from the neck up, they don’t look dead at all. Androids don’t go pale or rigid with death like humans do. The absence of breathing isn’t strange, either, since androids hardly need to breathe at all. If Google just looks at their faces, they could pass for being asleep. If he’s not looking at their faces, he’s looking at the holes in their chest. Stitching up Dr. Iplier was comparatively easy; Plus and Oliver are mechanical marvels, with hundreds of parts to repair, to recreate, to reorder, to replace. He has Chrome to work alongside him, but Chrome isn’t much help.

Google has been keeping his emotions down, but Chrome has not, cannot.

It’s not a surprise to Google. Chrome’s never been able to control his emotions, even when he really tried, though he usually didn’t. Now, not only are his brothers dead, but it was his hands that dealt the killing blows. It was Anti’s fault, of course, and Google knows that Chrome knows that, but it doesn’t make the guilt go away. It doesn’t make Chrome feel any better. He can hardly stand to work on his brothers, can hardly bear being in the same room as them. He either destroys his room, breaking his prototypes in half and punching the wall in directionless rage, or he wallows in despair, screaming and crying more than Google even knew he was capable of. Maybe the worst part of it all is that Google has no idea what to do about it. He doesn’t know what to say to his brother. He tries telling Chrome that he doesn’t blame him for what happened, that it wasn’t his fault, that Plus and Oliver will (hopefully) be okay, but none of it sticks. It all feels trite, even if it’s true. Chrome’s never gone to Google for comfort, they’ve never had that kind of relationship.

But Chrome and Yandere do.

Google sees them together often. It’s not a new thing to see, but things are different between them now. They both carry a grief so suffocating, so unimaginable that it might swallow them both whole if they didn’t have each other to turn to. It’s good for them both; Google is certain that Chrome would drown in his guilt and sorrow without Yandere, and he can only imagine what Yandere might do to himself if he had to bear the loss of another loved one alone. They both feel guilt for what happened during the fight with Anti. Chrome’s reasons are obvious; Google hears him describe to Yandere how he can still feel the oil on his skin, still feel the weight of his brother’s cores in his hands, still feel the curl of his fingers into the delicate machinery. Yandere has his own guilt to wrestle with as well. From what Google can gather, Dr. Iplier sacrificed himself to keep Anti from hurting Yandere, and Yandere regrets how angry and hateful he was to Dr. Iplier before his death. As upset with Dr. Iplier as he was, he never wanted anything like this. Yandere and Chrome understand each other’s grief better than anyone.

Google will walk through the control room for a screw or a metal plate, and see Chrome and Yandere on the couch there, trying to comfort each other. Sometimes Yandere will be curled in Chrome’s lap, wailing into his chest, and Chrome will be holding him, stoically stroking his hair. Other times Chrome will be the one breaking down, sobbing hard enough to need coolant refills afterwards to replace the tears, and Yandere will hug him tight, whispering gentle words into his hair. Google can’t help but be envious at how Yandere can get that close to Chrome. He wonders why it’s so hard for him to connect with his little brother, why it’s so easy for Yandere. Somehow Yandere, between fits of grief, can become Chrome’s pillar of support, and Google, despite his database of information, can’t understand it.

That is, he can’t understand until one day, when Chrome is trashing his room again and Google can’t get him to calm down. Chrome shouts over everything Google tries to say, won’t listen to the words that he can hear. Google’s so focused on trying to get through to Chrome that he doesn’t know Yandere has come into the room, attracted by the noise, until he speaks.

“Aka-kun?” he asks, “What’s going on?”

Google is a little impressed. Yandere has red, irritated eyes from crying earlier in the day, but he’s utterly fearless in the face of Chrome’s destructive rage. Upon seeing him, Chrome’s nostrils flare and he turns away, eyes still blazing red.

“Go away,” he growls, so low the air rumbles.

“I won’t,” Yandere replies, undeterred. He steps into the room alongside Google.

“Leave me alone!!” Chrome yells, punching the wall, putting the dozenth hole in it since he started this fit.

“I’m not going to,” Yandere says, a note of stubbornness entering his voice, “And I don’t think you actually want me to. Come on, look over here.”

Chrome stomps further into his room. He still hasn’t turned to look at Yandere. He says nothing.

“If you really wanted me to leave, you’d say it to my face. Come on, otouto, look at me.”

Many moments pass. Google waits for Yandere to speak again, but he doesn’t. He stays where he is, stays silent, and simply stares at Chrome, expression so gentle Google can hardly look at it. Chrome continues throwing things for a long minute, but eventually goes still again, body shaking with rage. It takes nearly another full minute for him to look back over his shoulder at Yandere. His eyes are narrowed and blinding bright red, but tears are flowing down his cheeks.

“Come here, otouto,” Yandere murmurs. If his voice were any softer, Google thinks, it would break in two.

After a few more agonizing moments, Chrome finally turns around and shuffles to Yandere. He’s no less angry, Google can tell, but he seems tired, exhausted from his own hot-blooded rage. When he reaches Yandere, he hugs him, lifting him off the ground to hold him close. It reminds Google of a child hugging a teddy bear nearly as big as they are. Unlike a teddy bear, Yandere hugs back, arms wrapping around Chrome’s neck as he lets his legs dangle. He starts talking to Chrome, whispering gently, and Chrome walks out of the room and to the couch that he and Yandere always go to, carrying Yandere with him.

Google tries to return to work on Plus and Oliver, though the whole interaction stays in his mind. It doesn’t help that his advanced hearing can pick up hints of Chrome’s muffled tears and Yandere’s whispers from the other room. That evening, when Google hears Chrome go back to his room to start cleaning up and charge for the night, he listens for Yandere to start walking out of the control room. Instead, he hears Yandere’s footsteps come closer, until he looks up to see Yandere standing in the doorway of the workshop.

“What?” Google asks. He feels a little protective, suddenly, over his two little brothers’ bodies, both laid out in full view. But Yandere doesn’t look at them, only at Google. His eyes are no longer red-rimmed, and he seems calm yet curious.

“You’ve been staring at me and Aka-kun a lot,” Yandere asks, “What’s up with that?”

Google is surprised, not just at Yandere’s boldness, but at his observation.

“Blunt, aren’t we,” is all he says in reply.

“No more than you on the average day,” Yandere scoffs, though he manages a quick grin. “Seriously, though. You’re always looking, but I can’t tell what you’re thinking when you do.”

“Must you know?”

“Well…I have a hunch.”

“Do you.”

“Yeah. So…why do you always stare?”

Google must be going nuts. All those moments of holding in his feelings must be making him loopy. He decides he might as well tell Yandere what he’s been thinking. The world has already gone so sideways, a little more crazy couldn’t hurt.

“I can’t get through to him,” Google says, not bothering to clarify who he means. “Not just today, not just when he throws fits, but not at all, ever. Not since the fight.” He looks down at Plus, who he’s currently working on. “He’s so locked in, and I can’t get through. I’ve never had to worry about him like this before, he’s never needed me like that. But he does now, and nothing I say seems to make a difference. Yet you do. He listens to you. The things you say work. How?”

There’s a pause as Yandere considers this.

“Was that your hunch?” Google asks, only a little derisive.

“Sorta,” Yandere admits. “I know from Aka-kun that you guys don’t get all, like, touchy-feely about stuff. I don’t think he minds that, that’s just how it is. But I think I know why that is, and why he goes to me for emotional stuff instead.”

“Why?” Google can’t help but ask.

“You aren’t vulnerable,” Yandere replies. “You said Aka-kun’s locked in, but so are you. Aka-kun’s told me that he hasn’t seen you cry or grieve or anything. Not that he thinks you don’t care, and I don’t think that, either. But I think he sees how you don’t, like, emote about it, and he’s internalized it. He can’t relate to you. He can’t be vulnerable to you unless he’s losing control, and I think it’s because a part of him doesn’t know if you’ll understand. Because you’ve been the cool big brother this whole time.”

“One of us has to be collected,” Google mutters, though Yandere’s words spear him deep. For someone normally so dramatic, Yandere is much more emotionally intelligent than Google would’ve guessed. “It has to be me.”

“You don’t have to fall apart or anything,” Yandere says, “Just…unlock. Open the door. Let him know you have feelings in there, and maybe then he’ll feel like he can talk to you.”

Even after Yandere leaves and night falls, his words stick. The more Google turns them over in his mind, the more he thinks Yandere’s right. From the outside, he realizes, he must look close to invincible. How could Chrome know that Google’s single-minded drive to fix his brothers and keep Ego Inc. standing is a way to chase away his own despair? But Google fears that if he tries to unlock, tries to open the door a crack to give Chrome vulnerability, that the door will swing wide open out of his hands and he’ll be just as despondent as Chrome, and then nothing will get better.

It takes another few days before Google gets an opportunity to be vulnerable, and it starts with Bing of all people.

Bing took the news of Oliver’s death hard, and the time it took Google to repair Bing’s injuries was difficult for them both. Bing steers clear of the control room for a while, and Google doesn’t care to know what he does with his time. He has enough to deal with without worrying about someone he doesn’t even like. But then Bing walks into the control room, managing to choose a moment when Google and Chrome are both there, taking a break from fixing the others.

“What are you doing here?” Chrome is first to ask, voice venomous. Google’s reaction isn’t so severe, but he isn’t happy to see Bing, either.

“I’m not here to start anything,” Bing starts, defensive. He sighs. “I just…you guys are still repairing Ollie and Plus, right?”

“Why do you ask?” Google counters, approaching Bing. Chrome follows, eyes starting to glow red.

Bing almost steps back, intimidated, but it only takes a moment for the anxiety to wash out of his eyes and replace itself with numb sadness. Google suddenly wants to look away. Bing has the same look in his eyes that Google sees every time he looks in a mirror.

“Ollie’s my best friend,” Bing says, “And I know you have him and Plus to fix, and a lot of other shit to deal with since Doc’s gone, so…” Bing steels himself, meets Google’s eyes with determination. “I wanna help you repair the others.”

Google only has a split-second to be shocked before Chrome interjects.

“No fucking way,” he snaps, “Why the hell would you offer to help us!? You hate us!”

“I want to help!” Bing insists, “Maybe I don’t like you guys, but I care about Ollie, and Ollie cares about Plus, and I’m the only other person who can fix them aside from you and Googs.”

“I’m not letting you touch my brothers in a million years!!” Chrome shouts, “How the fuck do I know you aren’t gonna do something to them, if not to Ollie then to Green!?”

“Jesus, I’m not a fucking monster!!” Bing exclaims, reeling back as though struck, “If you’re really that worried about it I can just help with Ollie and leave Plus alone!” He scoffs and shakes his head. “Just because you and Google were a dick to me when Mini Bing died doesn’t mean I’m gonna sink to your level. But I’m not gonna make you accept my help, so fine. Talk to me if you change your mind, or don’t, I tried.”

Just before he turns to leave, Google sees that numbness filter back into Bing’s eyes. Then he’s gone, walking out of the control room without looking back. Google is left stunned by the whole interaction, and turns to Chrome as soon as Bing is gone.

“What the hell was that?” he asks flatly.

“Don’t tell me you were gonna let Bing work on the others!” Chrome exclaims, eyes still burning red.

Honestly, Google was. He could tell just by looking at Bing that he wasn’t lying about his intentions and his reasoning. It may have hurt Google’s pride to accept help from his nemesis, but Oliver and Plus are more important than a petty grudge. And Bing was right; Google has too much on his plate to turn down an extra pair of hands.

“We need more help,” Google says, trying to be diplomatic, “There’s still so much we have to fix, and I’m busy being everyone’s doctor on top of it.”

“We’re not getting help from Bing!!” Chrome spits, getting in Google’s face. “We don’t need that moron screwing things up even worse!!”

“He knows our mechanics better than anyone else in this building,” Google retorts, frowning deeply, “And you know as well as I do that Bing was telling the truth about his feelings. Are you really too proud to accept help??”

Chrome glares at Google petulantly, but says nothing. After days of running on empty and pushing down grief, something in Google breaks.

“You’ve got some nerve to turn Bing away when you’ve done almost nothing since your brothers died,” Google snarls, voice dripping with poison, “All you’ve done is throw tantrums and break things while I try to make things better. I’m getting Bing to help us and you’re getting your head out of your ass before I come back.”

Chrome draws back, and his expression barely changes, but not even his relentless rage can hide the spark of pain that flits through his eyes. He turns away from Google, stomping to his room and slamming the door. Google regrets what he said before the sound stops reverberating through the air.

“You don’t have to fall apart or anything,” Yandere had said.

“A bit late for that now,” Google thinks bitterly.

He knows he has to apologize, but he also knows he has to give Chrome time to cool off before he tries. As an android whose internal clock is always attuned to the exact millisecond of every moment, time is straightforward and linear and unsurprising. Yet the twenty minutes Google waits to talk to Chrome is the longest twenty minutes he’s ever experienced.

When he knocks on Chrome’s door, he already expects him not to respond. The silence still aches, stretching long between them. Google knows better than to try pleasantries, so he takes a deep breath and begins.

“I’m sorry,” he says, “I’m sorry I said those things. I know what happened really hurt you, I know you’re reacting to that. I…I can’t imagine how you feel. I don’t want to imagine it. I don’t even want to think about how I feel.” Google sighs, Yandere’s advice ringing in his head. “The truth is, I’m terrified. I’m terrified that I’ll be working on Ollie and Green and they’ll both just disappear in front of me. I feel guilty, like if I’d just been faster or been a few steps closer when they were killed, I could’ve stopped Anti from killing them. And I’m sad, I’m so sad all the time, I miss them both so much, I almost hate looking at their bodies.” Google leans forward, letting his forehead gently thunk Chrome’s door. Now that the words are coming, he can’t stop them. “I’ve been keeping all that down because I didn’t want to make things worse for you and I didn’t want any distractions from repairing the others. I feel like I have to be the strong one. But it means we’ve been drifting apart. The one thing I haven’t been able to do is be there for you, and I’m sorry for that. I want that to change, I just…” Google’s throat tightens, tears collect in his eyes, and he can’t decide if he hates or craves the sensation. “I didn’t want to stop being strong. I don’t want to fall apart. But…” A sob escapes him. “Maybe I have to.”

The door opens. Chrome is standing there, eyes still red but no longer glaring. They’re wide, tear-filled, leaking coolant down his cheeks. He opens his mouth, but nothing comes out but a whimper. He stops trying to talk and throws his arms around Google instead, squeezing tight enough to crack a human’s ribs.

But it’s not too tight for Google, and Google hugs back just as hard, and finally lets himself feel.

Some time later, when they’re both done crying, Chrome speaks up first.

“I’m sorry, too,” he says quietly. “You were right about Bing, I was being an ass.”

“Wait, admitting you were wrong and that you were a jerk?” Google asks, feigning shock, “Who are you and what have you done with my brother?”

Chrome snorts, letting Google go and stepping out of the hug to look him in the eyes.

“Seriously,” he continues, “I mean, I know I haven’t done much, and Bing was telling the truth about everything, I just…” He looks away. “I hate the thought that the guy I hate could do more for my own brothers than me.”

“I hate it, too,” Google admits, “I’m definitely not looking forward to asking him for help. But the others need it, and they’d need it no matter how much you were helping me.”

Chrome nods, considering. He looks back at Google.

“I hate looking at them,” he says, brows drawing together in sadness. “I hate seeing them like that, and remembering what I did…”

“That was Anti, not you,” Google tells him, “I’ll say it until you believe it.”

Chrome smiles, crooked and tear-stained but unmistakable, and that’s when Google thinks they might be okay.

Going to Bing and asking him to help out is as awkward as Google feared it would be, but once he’s assured that Chrome is okay with it, he accepts and starts working on Oliver like he offered. Now that the dam’s broken between Google and Chrome, Chrome is able to contribute more, though he still has to take frequent breaks. He and Yandere continue to help each other, but from what snippets of conversation he overhears, Google can tell that Chrome needs less from Yandere than he did before. Yandere catches Google’s eye at one point and gives him a huge smile, and Google can only shake his head and grin in return.

Despite that ray of light, Ego Inc. remains shrouded in darkness. Oliver and Plus are still dead, and so is Dr. Iplier, and so is Dark. Everyone is still upset, still sad, still in mourning. Google is still the one in charge of healing everyone. He still has to monitor the other egos, still has to change Host’s bandages every other day while he weeps over Dr. Iplier, still has to see if the dead have risen or if Celine has awoken, still has to attend strategy meetings with an increasingly-despondent Wilford, still has to fear every crackle of static electricity or glitch in a monitor in case it means that Anti is back. It’s likely that he’s waiting for Jackie and Marvin to wake up again, but given how popular they are, it won’t take long, and the egos aren’t ready to face him again. Despite the meetings, there’s no new ideas, no plans, nothing. Ego Inc. is still suffering with no end in sight.

The drudgery is interrupted when, a week and a half after Anti’s attack, the chip Google put in Celine’s heart monitor goes off.

It pings until Google turns off the notification, telling him that her heart rate has gone up. Google has no idea what it means; even Dr. Iplier barely knew what to make of Celine’s condition, what to make of the fluctuations in her vitals. Still, Google leaves the control room and walks down the hall to the clinic to make sure nothing’s wrong with her. He doesn’t know what he expects to see as he opens the door to her room.

It sure as hell isn’t Celine sitting up in bed, looking wildly around herself, hands clenched around the rails of her hospital bed. Her gaze lands on Google, dark eyes wide and piercing. Google is sure that even a human would hear her rapid heartbeat from the doorway. Yet when she speaks, her voice is strong, sharp, as harsh and angry as Google remembers from the videos she’s in, yet breathless and strained with nerves.

“What is going on,” she gasps, “And where on earth is my brother?”

On Sunday, Jou strode into his therapist's office with a burning question on his mind. He sat down across from Dr. Sonomura, who regarded him with a vaguely amused expression.

"Good afternoon, Inojita-kun," she greeted. "Is there something on your mind this week?"

Out came the phone as he wrote it down and showed her. "Did you fight Hitler?"

Dr. Sonomura blinked at the screen. Two, three times. She covered her face and broke down into barely muffled chuckling while Morgana shot him a disapproving look.

"I told you that was a ridiculous question to ask," Morgana said.

Dr. Sonomura regained some of her composure, smoothing a hand over her hair as she glanced at Jou, her face slightly reddened from her laughing fit. "Well, my answer is almost as ridiculous. I didn't, but there were some rumors going around that he was somehow involved with some weird things going on in town."

"Wait, what?" Morgana exclaimed as Jou sat up in his seat.

"It turned out they were just rumors," Dr. Sonomura said, waving a hand dismissively. "Though maybe I shouldn't say 'just' rumors, considering that part of that incident involved certain rumors coming true."

"What."

Dr. Sonomura let out a self-conscious chuckle. "Talking about that is probably edging a bit too close to personal territory, though. I wasn't directly involved for most of it, admittedly, but I did end up getting involved."

"Were you a fighter?" Morgana said. They looked her over before adding, "or were you a navigator?"

"Navigator?" She tilted her head, looking genuinely puzzled by the term. Jou and Morgana shared a look.

"How many Personas are you able to use?"

She blinked again, pursed her lips for a moment. "Total or at once? Because I lost count of how many I can use in total. If I could get to the Velvet Room I could probably ask Igor."

"You've been to the Velvet Room?"

She blinked again. "Yes, of course. How else would I be able to switch between Personas?"

"You can swi... you have more than one?!"

"Of course, everyone has more than one," she said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "It's not like everyone has only one 'mask' they show to the world."

There was a long pause as the three of them stared at each other. It didn't take Sonomura too long to piece things together.

"...Have you two only been using one Persona at a time?"

"W-Well..." Morgana's ears flattened against their head in embarrassment.

"I thought I was the only one who could use more than one at once," Jou said. "Because I'm a Wildcard."

"Wildcard?" Sonomura shook her head. "All these new concepts... I must have fallen further out of practice than I thought."

"It might be a generational thing," Jou said, recalling Arche's terminology.

"Now you're making me feel old," she laughed.

"I think some things might have actually changed?" Jou said.

"Changed?" Sonomura studied him for a moment, looking to be considering her next words carefully. "What was it like for you when you gained your powers?"

The room fell silent. Jou could hear the electric hum of the lights, the soft tick-tick-tick of the clock. The very soft rumbles of concern emanating from Morgana.

After a few moments, Jou started typing. And kept typing. And kept typing. He talked about his experiences with Palaces and Jails and twisted desires. About facing down people's Shadows and convincing (or "convincing") them to change their ways.

About spending so much time leading his team that now that things have calmed down he's not sure what to do with himself. He's not sure how to turn off his "leader" mindset and just be a friend. He's not even sure if he can just be a friend to most of them.

Dr. Sonomura scrolled through the veritable essay he handed her, expression unreadable as she took it all in. Jou's stomach twisted up in knots. He'd always skirted around all of this in previous sessions, but after talking to Miaou recently...

Morgana could tell he was uncomfortable, so they curled up against him and purred reassuringly, just as they'd been taught to. Jou wrapped his arms around them and combed his hands through their soft fur. Good texture, good friend.

"Okay," Dr. Sonomura said, leaning back in her chair. "Okay. There's a lot to unpack there, and I doubt we're going to get to all of it today. So, I'm going to leave it up to you: would you be comfortable tackling some of the worries you just expressed, or would you rather keep talking about Personas for this session and save that for another time?"

He took a deep breath, grabbing his phone and looking over the wall of text he metaphorically vomited onto the screen.

"It's been on my mind a lot lately."

Dr. Sonomura nodded. "Let's talk about it, then."

I usually don’t like being so direct about it, but I find it baffling that people buy so much into the ‘’people only like Waluigi because of memez!!!’’ myth and conveniently ignore how those memes only exist because of things he does in official media to begin with.

For the sake of making an actual argument, here’s a list of examples:

The guy is literally wanted for the crime of bad sportsmanship.

The error screen of Mario Tennis has him somehow fly away with an N64 in hand, forcing Luigi to give chase.

Waluigi Island is heavily implied to have belonged to Luigi beforehand, which also leads to some hillariously petty stuff like his Piranha Plant worker smashing Luigi’s house.

The Camelot CG openings in general. Anyone who has seen those knows how great of a comedic duo he Wario are.

His animations in general are always the most off-beat, wacky or just goofy and fun to watch. Examples being the infamous Strikers series Crotch Chop or him doing a rocker-like animation when winning a match in Power Tennis.

He’s the starter villain of a friggin’ DDR game.

He is a recurring villain in Dr. Mario-kun, antagonizing the cast with very zany schemes.

This is his theme song in Strikers Charged.

He invents his own pair of binoculars to stalk Luigi and figure out his weaknesses.

Some of the wacky animations I mentioned even factor into his moveset, such as moonwalking, swimming in the air or his affinity for roses. All of these are recurring traits too!

Those are the most noteworthy and fitting examples.

It’s perfectly legit to not like Waluigi, but making stuff up and acting like the things people like about him have no basis in anything but memes is uninformed at best and incredibly petty at worst.
