v1's inability to talk has always been such a topic of thought for me i've found. i understand there's probably no canon reason for it but isn't it just something so amazing to really THINK on it

v1 was made to be a killer, a bloodthirsty robot with no motivation other than to eliminate. its creators built it to be a "supreme machine", the perfect weapon if you will, and that's exactly why it can't talk. if v1 could talk, it could complain. it could cry out when it's hurt, it could cry out for the people it hurts. but a good weapon shouldn't weep. a good weapon shouldn't voice its pain. it should just do. it should just fight and fight and fight, because that's its job, isn't it? built to be a perfect little weapon, the destroyer of man.

v1 was made in and for suffering, yet it can't voice its own. it never has, it never will.

Went to an anime convention over the weekend in my tech priest cosplay, and I wasn’t expecting how many Warhammer cosplayers there were!

I met this guy in iron warrior cosplay who noticed me running after him for a bit (he was very tall and I have very short legs) and he let me take a picture

Basically how that interaction went

Accidentally wound up on "hear me out cake" tiktok, and I swear, if another one of these bitches puts down an at-most-unconventionally-attractive human man, Lady Dimitrescu or Nick Wilde/Robin Hood I am going to lose my fucking mind.

Saw one where the first person they named was Disney's Aladdin and I tapped out so hard I entered a fugue state and didn't regain full consciousness for like a solid hour.

In my heart Yosuke and Chie are both bi but still would be horrified at the idea of getting together. Like no dude, that's the guy I immediately latched onto as a brother/sister figure to bully (affectionate). It's like Ryuji and Ann if Ann wasn't a lesbian. Yosuke and Chie could at most date and kiss ONCE and immediately go "ewww no gross" and make a mutual pact to never speak of it again.

oh yeah absolutely. They kiss once and it's the worst experience they've ever had. Drinking vinegar and chewing on sand levels of urrgh. Besides? They arent even each other's types? Like... Saki and Yu were established as their "types" canonically so there's that.

tho Ann/Ryuji feels like they could easily date for like, a month or two before they realize that they aren't clicking and then break up amicably about it. Any clicking between Yosk and Chie is the sound of a lighter during a gas leak.

In general i'm sick of the "oh they bicker like a married couple they're meant for each other" as if being in a constant state of friction and antagonism is "goals" for a relationship- and unfortunately, I feel like they're slightly angled in that direction. They have plenty of moments where that eases up and there's soft or empathetic sentiments, but to interpret that empathy or sympathy as "actually they're in love" is a huge disservice to their dynamic and to them as characters and.. ugh!!

(But, to be fair- for every shuffle they take in a possible Chie/Yosk direction, they immediately turn around and start sprinting in a Souyo and Yukichie direction. )

Angling them as sibling coded, tho- Is sort of oversimplifying it? I think their relationship is more layered than to simply use that label (siblings) on them. The implication for that uh.. I think... "I want to see them have trust and affection that transcends bickering (because that bickering comes knowing that trust cannot be implicitly broken) and without risk of it being interpreted as romantic" Folk can and- often do have relationships that transcend that of average friendships, and operate without risk of it becoming anything other than platonic.

Chie and Yosuke are openly disrespectful of each other, yet probably trust each other more than most the other (non souyo, non yukichie, non-yu) IT dynamics do. They know each other well enough to know what buttons to push... but also know how and when to push those buttons in order to challenge each other in ways that make them grow (or at least divert whatever energy is causing the other to spiral)

They're really good friends, best friends, even!! They'll show up the second the other's in distress with a six-pack and convenience store bentos in order to sit and call each other stupid for an hour because it works better and is cheaper then therepy.

but idk, thats how I read it.

People who can connect songs to your blorbos with ease, I am so jealous of you. I'm getting into animating again, and I'd love to do something for my OCs but the connections just are not forming themselves. Cherish your blorbo playlists okay?
