Shinomori is cute. Here's a post.

He is so baby-faced. He hasn't changed at all since he was 22, to when he died of "old age" at 40

(Old age? With a face like that? 40 years old?? Gimme that kind of youth and hotness Shinomori-)

He has tiny eyebrows. Like a puppy's (rottweiler's, for example). So cute and tiny and fuffy

He naturally frowns. Look at him and his mouth and his lil nose

He has a thing about keeping his arms near his chest. He sits with his arms crossed, introduces himself with his hands over his torso, and even walks with his arms crossed toward Midoriya

He has such clear skin for someone who lived the rest of his life in a forest??? Why do Hikage and Yoichi have such nice skin despite living in terrible environments? (forest and vault + abandoned streets respectively)

Is easily scared

They knew their Quirks could be used, but Shinomori got scared of it when it happened. Even though he gave Midoriya his support and access to his Quirk beforehand. Depending on the translation; "it startled me", "you scared me", "it surprised me"

I'm not going to hold running from AFO against him because he knew he was running for his life. Who wouldn't run for their life when it's in danger? Shinomori was being chased by the strongest person in the country (and likely the world)

His sense of self-preservation is probably heightened by the nature of his Quirk to keep him out of danger too. Which makes him all the more sensitive and jumpy to danger and anything that startles him, especially when he has no warning

He's actually extremely tall, but is so socially inept and jumpy it's adorable. He's taller than Bruce.

Bruce is as tall as a vault door that the 2m AFO used.

(Meanwhile Kudo is down there-)

He has such a bad sense of humor that it's cute (his puns off Danger Sense)

It's also adorable how Shinomori just doesn't understand social conventions sometimes. He lived in a forest, so it made sense, but also— Midoriya shows up in the void to the vestige platform for the first time. He has no mouth, no clothes—and Shinomori's first idea is to stand in front of him menacingly and go: "I shall explain. I am Shinomori Hikage." SIRRRR

This.

His Ability is basically like glorified anxiety. What if something is coming to hurt him? If something can hurt him? What if that tree falls while he's under it? And the ideas come so hard they hurt (although yes, it does detect ill intent and that's what sets it off)

He talks weirdly. Formal? Old-fashioned? Listening to him speak Japanese compared to others, it just sounds a bit different. (Translated subs don't show it very well, it's the voice itself methinks)

"This too, is destiny." *about Midoriya having OFA*

Kinda wise or sage-y. He did spend his life in solitude in the forests so he definitely spent a lot of time with his own thoughts. Maybe he found the meaning of life in a centipede or something one day

For someone so cute, he is also such. A fine. Specimen???

Look at those back muscles, dang.

LOOK AT HIS CALVES AND ARMS DANG.

#i dont think shinomori was part of the resistance considering the resistance fought the society AFO was making #and shinomori wanted to avoid society and thus hid away #but i do think bruce knew shinomori because he gave him ofa before he went to fight AFO and die #and afo doesnt seem to know hikage. if he did he wouldve found and killed him. but hikage is never in afos memories #yknow what shinomori needs some appreciation too #vestiges need more attention #also i always put shinomori dealing with bruces remnants in my fics so he needs some appreciation for that #like the kids dumped on him #shinomori received OFA at 22 years old. he was around bruces age methinks #hes not some kid the resistance took in. the resistance didnt take in kids anyway #or at least we dont see them #well fic stuff banjo has the time of his life with en wrangling kid hermits that dont know what electricity is #mha #bnha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #spoilers #hikage shinomori #ofa #one for all #ANYWAY hikage is ADORABLE and needs attention #just LOOK AT HIM #id have put this post out sooner but getting the pictures is always hard cuz popups or videos not working #i like shinomoris english voice actor. i dont stick around to hear anyone elses because i died when midoriya turned into a kid in the dub #i could probably make a list like this and bruces for the rest of the vestiges #yoichis small waist lovely skin and that he probably knows how to wrap kudo and bruce around his finger? #his “my heroes” and smiling as he goes “now now you two..”? kudos low voice and nice arms and SHORTNESS? #en going “senpai” and sitting on his chair like that? looking like he exudes gremlin energy? did he get carried around by banjo and nana? #it looks like he wouldve CMONN #i didnt include it in here cuz image limit but shinomori has big hands and feet (tag limit)

Coming to the weird realization that pikmin and hollow knight r kind of the same game

#pikmin #hollow knight #playing both at the same time and thinking very hard #listen. one is a game about exploring remnants of a huge society that has fallen into decay. you’re tiny. everything tries to kill you. #folks make funny noises. you pick up objects. you get story through ambience mostly. i could go on #BUGS ITS ALL BUGS BUGS EVERWYERE TINY CREATURES TAKING THE FLESH OF YOUR ENEMIES TO MAKE YOURSELF STRONGER!!! #i'm laughing #bluestonehieroglpyhs

Is it a coincidence that I, a small Irish child with a deep and abiding love for folklore, particularly will-ó-the-wisp cryptids, managed to a select a favorite character with a will-ó-the-wisp allusion and love them unconditionally for years before finding out about it?

I think not.  

#Roman torchwick #posts I make that don’t make sense #The AU’s I think about #Neo trying to follow a light into a bog for like eight hours and Roman literally comes out and is like what the fuck are you doing #She repeatedly following him and he keeps leading her back to society because like??? Girl??? You’re not a lost traveler??? You’re not a- #Hubris filled dick who thinks they know the bog??? There’s no reason for me to try and lure you away and there’s no reason to follow me??? #You’re parents are right there the FUCK are you doing???” #Like will-ó-the-wisps are not exactly know as real in remnant you’re basically trying to make friends with nothing #“I stick around to ruin assholes and harass government officials then everyone scrambles to explain away their experiences with me WHY- #-ARE YOU TRYING TO LEARN MY NAME???” #Hm ask me about that AU I could go off #It’s nice and trauma filled

sorry star wars is my new archie sonic

#long sprawling mess of a canon that retcons itself into a glorious mess of worldbuilding and cycles of growth and decay #and then funny guy saves the day ! #so so funny to me that OG star wars (e4 ANH) was just a silly little derivative hero-saves-the-princess story #and then lucas reverse engineered DESTRUCTION OF A GALAXY WIDE SOCIETY BY ONE GUY PLAYING BOTH SIDES OF A WAR THAT COST MILLIONS OF LIVES #from a single line saying ‘i served with your father in the clone wars’ #like a) clone wars as a phrase. without knowing what it means now. fascinating worldbuilding tidbit i wonder where they’re going with it #b) the OG movie handles the force like it’s *genuinely* a rare mysterious thing no one’s ever heard of. jedi really ARE rare wizards like #arthurian legend n shit. and since then that’s been completely changed into a once galaxy spanning religious order that adopt/rescued #children who were different and kept the peace of a galaxy for better of for worse (h. hey you think more kids had to be taken the more #palpatine + his sith rebirth grew in power bc the darkness welling made it more unsafe and harder for an untrained kid to manage -> more li #ely to lash out -> more likely to be kicked out/abandoned/mistreated unrelated anyway) #c) the OG movie presents the empire as terrifying and unstoppable and then the prequels completely recon it as a shadow of its former self #limping along in a mockery of the republic’s splendor with the remnants of their ships and armies with shittier training and shittier soldi #hm. this is not what this post was about . oops #posts from a galaxy far far away

Fuck, I need to remember to bring the Wanderer's Journal back with me for a reread during the break, bc all I remember from it atm was the detail that the 'statues' in the Forgotten Crossroads are perhaps fossilized bugs, that the Pale King was a civil engineer whose architecture was specifically designed to work with the nature of Hallownest (at least in the Queen's Station), and that the beetle tribe in the City of Tears was racist towards the Mantis Tribe, considering them savage for using bone and sinew as building materials despite the Mantises having advanced mechanisms and entering a treaty with PK, which stuck with me specifically bc it indicates that the tribes in Hallownest are indeed extremely segregated via ancient cultural differences rather than anything tied to the gods. Which makes sense considering the fact that they're all segregated by species and have different needs/lifecycles as well as clear indicators of distinct tribes dwelling within the caverns for millenia pre-Radi and PK, but also godDAMN do I need more information on that bc its really, really fascinating

#hollow knight #like god politics aside #who you worshipped doesnt seem to impact the cultures of the natives much at all!! #for example each area has distinct architecture and territory boundaries from the other #which remain even if an area is 'technically pks' or 'technically wls' #bc even though unns power diminished and they annexed parts of greenpath #the land isnt too altered #and despite pk 'civilizing' bugs (which i think only means 'booting radi's influence') #all of the architecture of the tribes are visually distinct and advanced #areas without his influence are just as complex as those with it just in different ways #and if we assume the massive beetle corpses come pre-radi (void civ era) #then intricate metalworking was something the beetles already knew #meaning that their biases against the mantids are likely inherent to their respective histories and have no conflict with the gods! #which is really cool and shows that level of seperation between radi and pk and the people they fight over #meanwhile ghost meanders around all lands and comes to appreciate them all from the remnants of wht remains #augh im just. thinking about the different cultures and society structures again okay #aughhh theyre so good

I binged all of Network Effect yesterday and I’m still thinking about how Martha Wells slowly built up alien remnants as a big fucking deal only to finally show us just why they’re a big fucking deal.

ASR introduces the idea of what alien remnants are and the fact that staying away from them is the one thing that everyone in the Corporation Rim can agree upon. AC brings up the importance of being able to identify “strange synthetics” with the stolen data. RP takes place on GrayCris’s secret remnants mining installation/fake failed terraforming facility. ES probably has the least to do with alien remnants beyond to the ongoing crime leading to GrayCris’s downfall being tied to their illegal mining operations and subsequent bad choices.

Alien remnants are a constant topic of interest in the story but it’s always been through the lens of GrayCris’s illegal exploitation. They’re a thing to be found, filtered out, studied, and like all resources in the CR, exploited (if you can get away with it). With what we know about the CR’s capitalist hellscape where corporations have more rights than individual people, the fact that this specific activity is illegal enough that they can’t bribe their way out of it is extremely damning. NE takes this ongoing detail and then takes it out of the context of GrayCris and the CR and puts it in context with colonization and then suddenly it’s not a resource to be exploited but something doing the exploitation. The explanation of why the whole CR is on the same page about alien remnants has always felt a little lacking and NE answers it by introducing and enforcing the idea that unknown remnants are a clear and present danger not to the corporation as a whole but to the individuals that make up the corporations.

Alien remnant contamination as an idea is introduced early on in the story and then slowly and surely built upon as the characters go from speculating about possible contamination to MB waking up from a systems failure next to the remnant and the source of the contamination. It’s masterfully done horror and excellent worldbuilding. I don’t want to go deep into spoilers but the book takes a concept that has been stated constantly to be bad in general, and explains in detail why this is bad for our characters specific.

#the murderbot diaries #murderbot #talking into the void #my meta #it’s interesting because from what I remember from ASR remnants are something to be studied for historical/technological importance #and then NE introduces the idea that if left uncontained and uncontrolled it will fuck you (fledgling society) up equivalent to a plague #the change in the definition of the remnants and their threat level is interesting #edited to clarify a thought on reread

What made Galactia knight decide to live with Meinna? It's funny to think about how a powerful warrior lives with a historian who is just peacefully living her life...

it’s mostly because she’s the only remnant of the past that he has. she’s one of the few popstarites that deeply care for ancient history, and one of the few to have looked into him. while he’d probably be better off in dreamland, socialising with kirby and his friends, he’s intrigued by the marred peace of floralia and its own history. to him, floralia is a nice break from all the fighting, while mienna’s the closest person he has to home.

there’s that, and the fact that his reputation in the history books has either left people skeptical or afraid of him. while they’re totally correct to be scared of him - he’s recalled to have split planets in two in planet robobot, after all - it also means that the only person even slightly interested in housing him is a god-child who doesn’t have enough space to do so.

#ask sh0ck #still figuring out why gala’s even here #i’ll get there soon #but uuuuh. on the ‘closest person to home’ thing #mienna has dedicated years of her life to recovering remnants of ancient society #and not just general life #but some people’s private lives #she’s got a whole folder full of gala’s letters to his friends and their responses #alongside blueprints for artifacts like star dream #she’s incredibly passionate about the ancients and their society #so gala almost always feels a bit at home around her #also that planet robobot thing is sourced from gala’s pause screen #going off memory here though

Persona 5 average romance dialogue line:

Persona 5′s goro akechi (non romanceable male character) average line:

#eng #fandomposting #persona 5 #sorry this is a remnant of my p5 playthrough but #it's not that romance dialogue is terrible #it's just that goro akechi content is far better ESPECIALLY as a potential romance #as an aside: the usual contrast in persona games while playing as a REBEL TO SOCIETY that can DEFY CONVENTIONS and FIGHT NORMS #but obviously can't be gay. or trans. or a girl for that matter i guess

My Own Headcanon to Echani Society bc Why TF Not

Most of this was kinda drafted up by me for the sake of a half Echani OC who went from merely lashing out however she could vs the Empire to attempting to nationbuild, as well as grow as a person, and learn to find value in living, so a lot of it was considered with that in mind, and as such it will not be particularly applicable for your purposes. May this serve more as loose inspiration or an alternate take at best. Also warning Eshan here is meant to be *terrible.*

Echani Command was not merely subservient to the Empire, but enjoyed a position of privilege by them. In exchange for treating Imperial officials equivalent to high caste Echani, including access to training in the Echani martial arts, they enjoy relative freedom, being allowed to maintain their own law enforcement, prevent their businesses being nationalized, and generally enjoyed a lax, comparatively unsupervised, existence under imperial rule

Eshan itself is a colonialist planet, having taken the other of the "Six Sisters" in order to exploit their resources

Echani rule was dictated largely by eugenics. People were sorted into castes depending on supposed "genetic worth," a remnant of their time as an experiment of the Arkanians. Low caste echani face various socio-political hurdles, such as access to education and autonomy

Echani of any variety are not permitted to choose their own romantic or sexual partners. Marriage is based on computations over ideal genetic combinations, and are limited to within a caste. To break this is to drop to the lowest rung of the caste system, along with the offspring of such combinations, and those who openly sympathize and teach low caste people.

Battle, other than a means of communication, is seen as a test of "genetic value." To succeed in combat is to show you are of greater worth than your opponent.

While it becomes frequent for low caste people to enlist in Imperial Academy to escape from the burdens it provides, it carries some degree of social stigma, as while imperials are treated as high caste in a legal sense, in addition to xenophobia leading to a sense of superiority to imperials, low ranking officers and conscripts are often seen as "not worthy" of these privileges. These generally go unsaid, privileged as Command is, imperial rule still holds true.

In addition to the assigned Imperial Governor, leadership was held by High Council, with each member effectively serving as an autocrat over the system they represent- though they still would post their own governors to manage on a smaller scale

Position of Councilor may be won in ritual combat with the current holder of said position. While nothing legally prevented lower caste members doing this, combat education beyond the very basics was limited based on caste, such that in effect only the highest castes may possibly claim rulership. This all builds to a symbolic representation of "genetic purity"- where combat prowess is seen as a measure of genetic strength, to be councilor is to assert genetic superiority over all but the other councilors

Combat is primarily conceived of as dialectics materialized, where strength in combat is representative of the strength of a party's ideals. To win is to let your convictions be heard, and while all but the most traditionalist echani judges find victory in combat something that binds one to action legally, to not follow the victor is seen as incredibly cowardly

While High castes are given a theoretically large amount of freedom, they nonetheless face great social pressures, as deviance from social norm is highly associated with "poor genetics" pressure is thus applied to "perform genetic value"

More lighthearted

Eshan's surface is near uninhabitable due to its scorching sun, a white star named Esh. As a result, nearly all life there dwells in the vast cave system spanning the entire planet beneath its surface

Due to the nature of Eshan, much of Echani diet is centered on fungi. Mushroom stew is an incredibly common dish, with many households having their own unique takes on how it should be made

Most animals on Eshan are insects, though many have evolved to convergently resemble other creatures such as mammals at a glance. Traditional Echani armor, though almost never seen outside museums, are made of their exoskeletons, being flexible, though still durable

Echani diplomats and senators are very frequently taught they *can't* challenge people to a duel. This has to be heavily stressed

Echani funeral garb is white, while the garb of the deceased is to be black

Weapons of Echani firedancers are often derived from farming or foraging tools, such as sickle like tools that were designed to scrape lichens from rock- This is allegedly because of a legendary farmer who, upon finding his village razed by bandits, killed all of them with a scythe. It is said his rage burned hotter than the burning village homes

Echani alertness can be a double edged blade- horror stories can get an extreme reaction from even seasoned echani warriors. Offworlders who bring holovids have often been told to ensure any media like that is to be hidden or disposed of

Many Echani clothes are constructed out of silk created from the cocoons of a particular species of insect. These clothes are often designed to be quick to take off, should a fight start and they prove too restrictive. Most Echani do not see any possible symbolism from this, coincidental or otherwise

Post war, many echani writers ruminated on the nature of battle droids. In a culture where combat serves as a form of communication, what is to be said of constructs who don't have any larger point to communicate, who simply fight because it was what they were made and ordered to do. Many echani tend to be put off by these droids, who come across as uncanny.

Echani made products used to fetch high prices in galactic markets, often being handmade artisanal products of high quality. As automation developed more and more, however, these items became more and more novelty: armies could be armed with state of the art blasters for the price demanded for a set of echani vibroswords. Echani attempts to automize struggled, often being low quality, not only in comparison to their specialty items but also in comparison to other similar competitors. As a result, Eshans economy began to center more and more on raw materials. Ironically, some of the biggest consumers of echani materials is MadalMotors.

#cw: fascism #cw: ableism #cw: eugenics #my ocs #Star Wars #Echani #The general concept for the oc is she didn't get to know her parents- they were killed by the empire #so she turns to Echani culture as a way of trying to connect to them #but echani culture is so similar to the empire- and more importantly dehumanizes her to such a similar degree #that she can't merely turn to echani culture as a way of achieving a sense of self #at least not as it is #so she starts to attempt on eshan a sort of 'takeover'- a push for a more humane society #of course this falls apart when eshan is destroyed #so her new goal becomes to form a new civilization from its remnants #one that tries to borrow elements from echani culture but that represents the wills of *all* who are a part of it #so no caste system or nothing like that #I will say a lot of it was kinda because like #I feel like echani are kinda frequently portrayed as like.

not to make yet another au but im thinking soooo hard about remnants and characters that didnt get remnants in the book getting remnants and im considering also what if remnant clarabelle and remnant scapegrace slonked each other sloppy style.Who said that

i dont have many headcanons that i am violently ride-or-die on, but if someone draws human karkat as white and skinny i am tempted to find them and kill myself in front of them thereby changing the trajectory of their life forever. because that headcanon fucking sucks

#homestuck #karkat vantas #i know this is a remnant from like. how fandoms always did this back in the day #but god it is just SO boring to me #like ah yes karkat. the one who would be killed on sight on alternia #the one who is basically all the way at the bottom of the societal latter through no fault of is own. #the one who was born at an extreme disadvantage #the one who has grown to despise a normal and vital part of his body due to the way it is viewed in larger society #surely the most analogous example of this in human society would be a Skinny White Boy #anyway skinny white karkat is real and he CAN hurt me #im joking abt the killing myself thing obvs but all the rest of this is true

[incorrect-dying-light-quotes]

should i post about my ocs/my future au guys

#>_> #by future i mean several millennia in the future #where society has reset and the only remnants of what happened in dl1 and dl2 are the sun cult and the virus #and rais and crane are religious figures in said cult #most of plot is focused on rais's descendants (formally known as raislets) cuz im autistic about him but yk #im just doodling raislets and i wanna post them wtf

Have you played DR:AE and if you have what do you think of it? I really liked Komaru (parallels with Junko go brrr) and Monaka in it tbh! I also really liked Nagisa and Kokoto (though... how they handled some of Kotoko's arc was- honestly some of the worst content IN danganronpa and I don't blame anyone for dipping during... that... part of the game) and I thought they improved upon Touko and Syo's characters as well! If you haven't played (or... watched a let's play because let's be real the game play is... janky) I definitely recommend it! I think you would like it - or at the very least, appreciate some of the reveals at the end of the game and maybe the bad ending. Komaru is a really compelling protagonist. And a dumbass, but only in the best ways. I think the bad ending is probably the most compelling of the DR bad endings to me, too, I definitely recommend doing both good end and bad end for this game but that's not me. It's not really a long bad ending, but it was genuinely chilling when I first experienced it.

I have not played or watched DR:AE! It's on the vague list I've got for DR stuff to play/read, below DR0. Honestly, I'm not too interested in any of the kid characters, but I have heard excellent things about Toko and Komaru's arcs!

I've watched bits of a playthrough and I do think it's fun to see a survival based, apocalypse-focused DR game, even if it's famously janky and features some eugh writing decisions. I also really like the note/journal collecting element, and have read all those scraps! (And despair hagakure, if that counts for anything)

I also just watched the bad end, and it does look fun! I love how the narration warps as the horror sinks in!

#midnight speaks #god watching that bad ending made me wish dr had more bad endings in generap #society if there were more dr bad endings... #anyway yeah its always been vaguely on my radar like Dr0 but ive never been captivated enough to commit #what i AM interested in seeing is that one fake sakura fighting game. the amazingly drawn comics one #op i long for your vision. thank you for your amazing idea #also honestly if drAE featured more than just 2 remnants i would be ALL OVER IT
