THE VESSEL OF SELF

Hey, lookie i cooked and made a new sonaish mascot oc thing (idk where he stands but i got rlly attached really quick to the dude), idk iM OBSESSED AND MIGHT DRAW A LOT SO I WANNA SHOW HEEM

[hiskillingjar]

ren forcefemming is my favorite thing in the world like ... because i feel like he has such a warped perception of femininity . i think ren is like "yeah being a girl is when you act like a dumb whore and wear tiny clothes"

a heem heem...whimper...

i had to write something for this. don't look at me. i'm sorry women.

1200+ words, masc reader, cw for like. you know.

"You're an absolute degenerate, do you know that?"

Your voice was terse and irritable as Ren slid the skirt's waistband up your legs, a dumb smile on his lips and his tail wagging erratically as he did so.

Your bound wrists twisted tightly behind you and you could feel that your bare (for the most part) legs were trembling, but you were determined not to show just how nervous this was making you. 

"Seriously, this is some perverted shit, Ren. What fucked up hentai have you been watching lately?"

"Ah-ah-ah," Ren chided, his smile spreading into a sharp-toothed grin as he straightened out, his eyes, glittering with malice and sick amusement, meeting yours as he wagged a finger condescendingly at you. "That's pretty bad language for a girl. You shouldn't be speaking like that, especially not to me."

"I'm not a fucking girl!" You snapped with a fierce look in your eyes, giving the zip-tie currently cutting into your skin a firm pull, knowing full well that it wasn't going to snap any time soon, and would, in fact, just dig even more painfully into your sensitive wrists. 

Whatever, it felt better to put up a fight than to sit passively, doing nothing.

"Well, you kinda look like one right now," He drawled with an eye roll, moving closer to you and bracketing your trembling thighs with his own as he knelt in your lap. "And, like, I know it's not 'PC' or whatever," He chuckled and bit his lip, reaching to his side to pick up what looked like an eyeshadow palette and set it down on his thigh. "But normally, when someone looks like a girl and acts like a girl...they are one."

You gritted your teeth together, tensing your jaw as he took your cheeks in a painful grip and opened the palette with an elegant flick of his wrist, sweeping his pointer finger in glittery pink.

"I mean, you're not a very good girl," He continued with another mean chuckle, like he was saying something especially cruel. "But that's okay. I can help you with that. Close your eyes, please."

In spite of how much you wanted to cuss him out, you were very quickly deathly still as Ren gently rubbed his finger over your eyelid, incredibly cognisant of the tiny scratch of his claw over the thin, delicate skin that covered your eyes, your tense jaw trembling a little more as the tip (as sharp as a needle) traced the curve of your eye’s socket. 

You wanted to put up a fight, of course you wanted to, but fuck, not when he was this close to putting a finger in your eye if you pissed him off.

"And, you know, make-up and clothes are just one thing...or, er, two things." He smiled, dabbing another colour of glitter in the corners of your eyes with his pinky. When there wasn’t the threat of a claw, the gesture was almost a little pleasant.. "It also comes down to attitude, you know...the way you carry yourself. Expression." He pulled his fingers away from your lids then, and you felt the press of what felt like a felt pen against your lids. 

"You're such a freak...." You mumbled, though you did your best not to flinch as he drew a neat line across your lid, drawing it out to a sharp point, spanning up to your temple. 

"Be nice, sweetie," He chided softly, paying attention to your other lid. "That's what I like...nice, sweet girls. Girls who know their place."

"Seems to me you like sluts," You grumbled, opening your lids to tiny slits to peer down at your lap. The plaid skirt he had forced you into was absurdly short, and had you been able to stand, it would have barely covered your ass, let alone the fishnets and the cheap, studded garter he had buckled around your thigh. "Or bad crossdressers."

"Mm, I mean, yeah, I guess I kind of do,” He agreed with an airy titter, setting down the pen and picking up a brush, which he dabbed into the eyeshadow palette. “I like nice girls, yeah…” He paused and idly licked his lips thoughtfully. “But I like it even more when they stop being so nice and act like a girl should act, ya know…when they stop playing smart and act like dumb whores instead.”

You grimaced at his hungry expression.

“Fucking incel,” You mumbled through your grit teeth, which only made him laugh harder as he powdered your cheeks with hot pink. “Jesus. I thought you were just a pervert, turns out your’re also a total misogynist too.”

“Ah, that’s a big word for you, sweetheart.” He teased with a mean snicker, continuing to blush up your cheeks. “You really are a girl…so fucking sensitive.”

You yanked your head backwards and glared hard at him.

Ren sat still for a moment, looking almost surprised as he gave you a long and considered look before he smiled innocently and hopped off your lap, setting the make-up supplies to the side again and pacing to his desk.

“I’m kind of sick of you cussing at me, actually,” He mumbled to himself, opening up the top drawer and fishing out a cheap-looking ball gag, pale pink, fake leather and hard plastic. “What’s the saying…” He drawled out again, unbuckling it as he paced back to you. “‘Girls should be seen and not heard?’ Yeah, that’s the one.”

“NGH-!” 

You grunted roughly as he pushed a hand into your hair (gripping a chunk of your bangs) and forced your head back, pressing the ball between your teeth and buckling the leather belt around the base of your skull quickly and efficiently. You could already feel the cheap straps digging into the corners of your mouth, painfully tight.

“There we go, much better.” He said brightly, his eyes creasing with delight as he sat back in your lap.

Despite your muffled protests and how much you were now pulling at each tight binding to be away from him, he pushed both hands up your skirt, feeling for and groping the first stirrings of (unfortunate) arousal in your…well, his panties.

“Haha, you can’t even pretend that you’re not enjoying yourself, can you?” He asked with a giggle, pressing his chest against yours, his tail wagging even faster. “I hope you know that this doesn’t make you any less of a girl, by the way…”

He punctuated his ‘validation’ (because what else were you going to call it?) by giving your arousal another firm squeeze. His fist was tight enough, squeezing and rubbing in the first oozing drips of pre-cum, that you couldn’t hold back a groan into the firm plastic of the ballgag, and pressed your face into his shoulder to hide how much your blushed cheeks were flushing. 

“You’re gonna be stuck like this for a while, by the way…so just try to enjoy it instead of fighting me, hm?~”

What if- Reader begged Arkham Riddler to fuck them? And so they have chair sex, Reader being on Riddler’s lap. While he roughly fingers reader while also rubbing his cock against reader’s ass? 👀

Reverse

Arkham!Riddler x GN!Reader, word count: 550 aheem heem yeah this is RIGHT up my street anon i love chair sex, i love being fingered, and i love arkham eddie what's not to love???? request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi • masterlist minors DNI!! 🔞 cw: nsfw, reader has a vagina but there's no gendered language used, fingering

“Please, Eddie… come on… I’m begging you!”

The famous last words before you were lured over to where Eddie sat at his work bench, the wheels of the shabby desk chair squeaking under him as he pushed back to make room for you.

One finger curling inwards, slowly, menacingly when paired with his infamous sneer. Beckoning you towards him where he made you stand and watch as he unzipped his carpo pants and pulling free his stiff and ready cock. With his palm firmly pressed around the length, he stroked up and down once or twice before he shook it, teasing, playfully.

As you moved to take a seat on his lap, however, he lifted his finger again, rotating it as he tutted and shook his head. Turning in front of him, you waited until you felt his hands tug at your hips, pulling you onto him with your back to his chest. Jostling you forward onto his thighs, he made enough room for him to grip his cock, wincing as he slapped it against your lower back, pressing it between your cheeks as he brought you closer to him again.

Eddie was silent behind you, save for the growling in your ears that sent shivers down your spine. His breath, far more stable than yours as it hitched in your chest with every slight movement, every time you felt his warm cock against your skin, his head sticky with precum that he let spill onto you.

Leaning back into him, he brought his arm around your front, wrapping you in an embrace, his face buried in your neck as he inhaled deeply, peppering kisses where he could reach through his smug chuckles. His palm slid down your abdomen, reaching into the front of your underwear and stroking your lips, fingertips gentle at first before he pressed his filthy, caloused fingers between them. Dipping them inside of you, he gripped his cock tighter, holding it against your lower back as he lifted you slightly, bringing you even closer.

With his length between your cheeks, he gently rolled his hips, relishing the friction as he sandwiched his cock in your ample flesh. And with your body now at a better angle, he could thrust his fingers up inside you, pumping them in and out, holding you to him,one hand around your neck, holding your chin, keeping your head stable as you arched your back in ecstacy.

It was taking everything in you to holdback on your orgasm, to prolong the pleasure, but it was a futile effort. Soaking his lap in the process, you came hard, trembling and shuddering as he kept you as balanced as possible against him. His fingers kept working, flitting back and forth over your clit as you screamed, body jerking violently in overstimulation, the overwhelming pleasure only stopping when you felt the sudden warmth of his own orgasm, his cum spurting between your back and his abdomen.

And with a final, low and rumbling chuckle, he lifted you off, zipped his cock back in his pants, and turned back to his work as though nothing had happened. His lap, darkened with your sweat and slick. His shirt sticking to his slender abdomen with his own cum.

Hi! I love your characters and writing a lot! They keep me warm during cold winter nights. Not to sound like a whore, but I was wondering if Kalymir goes through heats?

[A heem heem, thenk you. :''7. This'll be fun.]

Oh boy, does he. Kalymir's heats are, well, more like a survival horror video game from your point of view- Let's put it that way...

Pre-heat signs are hard to gauge since he's already so irritable normally, but you might pick up on a spike of frustration if you've known him for a while. He has a tendency to grind his teeth and huff a lot. Kalymir actually gets quieter around this time. He's thinking about you during these early stages, so he makes it a point to stash most of his weapons away (so that he can't grab them when hormones take his mind). Although, in his usually dickish fashion, the demonlord won't tell you he's going into heat- He'll just tell you to be ready for the next day, because he'll be coming for you.

Kalymir doesn't necessarily nest. In typical wrath demon fashion, the first thing he's doing is hunting for himself, eating lots, then gunning straight for your ass. Hopefully, you take his advice to heart and stay alert, wake up early, enough to have a running start when you hear him howling your name as he starts fucking barreling through the halls of his own mansion. Hiding can be a good strategy, but not for long, he'll dismantle entire rooms if he's sure you're there.

It's safe to say it's only a matter of time until you're found. Make no mistake, imps will not come to your aid, at most, they'll tell you to actively harm the King. Stab him, throw projectiles, claw and bite and shriek- Sure, it only arouses him more, but it can also buy you more time to escape (remember that one time you bit his slit?). Though taken with heat, Kaly's drilled it into his brain that you're fragile, so he's not too likely to crush you, unless you deliberately reject him- Rest in pieces then.

When you're caught, his hand is tight on your neck as you're led to your own bedroom (shared bed chambers really) and savagely fucked. That knot will hurt, but at the very least, he only flares the literal spikes on his dick when he's peacocking for attention. You can try to fight for dominance over these encounters, but he's significantly less gentle than usual, there's room for you to get seriously injured. Perhaps, if you can somehow sedate him, Kalymir will be more manageable. He's still loud as fuck.

Courtship displays include bringing you severed heads, teeth, horns, pelts, etc... He'll also come back covered head to toe in blood and stand in front of you, like that's supposed to be the hottest trick he could ever pull. The demonlord will sometimes attempt to initiate games of cat and mouse by stomping his feet to startle you and keeping doors wide open. Speaking of, he doesn't lock anything, feel free to run, at your own peril that is.

If you don't want to run, or rather, if you're scared shitless and want to risk the least amount of bodily harm, you can always surrender early. The same gestures you'd do with Breg count- Belly exposed, neck bared, palms up. You can also just kneel in front of him. Kalymir will puff up and get very smug, dragging his little trophy mate away.

where do you stand on the 'is izzy a virgin' debate?

I'm strongly in favor of this read not only that but also I am an Izcel truther. I don't believe he has come to terms with his feelings for Blackbeard or the fact that men rustle his jimmies and that the main reason he has not had sex yet is because he reacts to all advances with open and venomous hostility however if Con is to be believed and he does come to understand his own feelings for Blackbeard this season he is going to go full "these hussies (read: Blackbeard) only want to have sex with fancy boys with lots of money (read: Stede) and 6'2 chads who are mean to them (read: Jack)" to which Fang responds "Stede is poor now and you are also mean to him" and then Izzy starts making those heem heem whimper sounds and says "he hasn't cut off a toe since Stede got back" and Fang says "isn't that good?" And Izzy punches him and Fang just stands there unsure if that was supposed to hurt or not.

Monster headcanon playlist - a summary - part I

Hi, everyone! A week ago I’ve decided to make a Monster (Naoki Urasawa’s work) playlist, available now on Spotify

This posts it has not only been created to share this sum of songs but to illustrate more about my decision of why to choose some of the musics as well. It contains my personal opinion about the masterpiece but canonical events as well.

75 songs were added into that playlist, but I’m going to give a raise on the 10 top songs (5 songs in this first part of post), dividing into english songs and german/russian songs. Yep, german/russian songs ‘cause I believe this representation it is very important to the drama and It’s something I didn’t see in other playlists (sorry not sorry)

Disclaimer: We all know that Monster focus on the German and Czech events, but the choice to add specific Russian songs instead of Czech were mostly personnal.

Let’s go!

1. ‘HOME’, by Heems

All I got is the sweater that you left, the letters that I kept, That spoke of how you liked when I kissed you on the neck, And I held you as you wept, Yeah, I held you as we slept, I held you as we crept, I've been a mess since I met you, I regret you, You could say I love what's regretful. You got me, I get you, If I could, I'd forget you, But I can't since I've left you, I let you, If I could, I'd forget you, I would be more forgetful. When it's cold outside, yeah, I miss you, But we had too many issues.

Err...I don't even have to explain this first one. The end of the relationship profoundly marks Eva, who develops depression and alchool issues as a way to deal with it, throught the drama. Tenma it is severe impacted as well, but more in a 'rush' away, as slowly losing all establish that he had one day as a men.

--------------------------------

2. ‘Erschießen’, by IDEAL 

Komm, wir lassen uns erschießen, zwei Schüsse mitten ins Gehirn. Komm, wir lassen uns erschießen, ich hab nichts zu verlier'n. Komm, wir lassen uns erschießen, Sonntag morgens 5 vor 10. Ich kann den Sonntag nicht ertragen, und ich will keinen Montag sehn.

TRANSLATION: (🇩🇪)

Come on, let us be shot, two shots right into the brain. Come on, let us be shot, I don't have anything to lose. Come on, let us be shot, on sunday mornings 5 minutes before 10. I can't stand sundays, and I don't want to see mondays anymore.

Err...I won't even loose more than one paragraph about this one.

----------------------------

3. ‘Goodbye Horses’, by Q Lazzarus

He told me, I've seen it all before, I've been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams, A lying on the ground, I've seen the sky just begin to fall, He say, "All things pass into the night", And I say, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong, I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong", Won't you listen to me.

This is a song that I've listening to since I've discovered that were on 'The Silence of the Lambs (1991)' OST.

This book it’s very special to me and it is totally referable to the Urasawa's works due to psychological link they both have. Also, this lyric seems to me like a intimate mono-dialogue between Tenma, who represents hopes and Liebert, the tragical twin, conducting the conversation.

------------------------------------

4. ‘Roman Candle’, by Elliott Smith

'He played himself, Didn't need me to give him hell, He could be cool and cruel to you and me, Knew we'd put up with anything.

I want to hurt him, I want to give him pain, I'm a roman candle, My head is full of flames, I'm hallucinating, Hallucinating.'

It represents rage in a sum, right? The first parts reminded me of Bonaparta and the twin's relationship, so much abuse they've got into and how Liebert as kinda of develop to support a lot of problematic aspects of the worst in the human bein.

    The secound part tho..reminded of Tenma. He was writed to simbolize Light, but we all know that it wasn't something he always got right. His rage for all the crimes that Johan was commiting while transforming his life in a living hell...well, that wasn't something easy to perform throught it, we all know that.

----------------------------------------

5. ‘Was Hat Dich Bloß So Ruiniert’, by Die Sterne

Wo fing es an und wann? Was hat Dich irritiert? Was hat Dich bloss so ruiniert?

      TRANSLATION  (🇩🇪):

Where did it start and when? What irritated you? What was it that ruined you?

Mostly about child abuse and the consequences of it. The Grimmer arc gave me deep sad chills about those children experiments and how he manage to survive throught it.

---------------------------------

The first part ends, I hope it was a good read. Remember, click here to listen to the playlist

[epithet-beloved]

HI. NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. NO CLUE HOW IT WORKS. LOVE this page so far❗️It’s so clear to see how much love has been poured into it and I hope you all have nothing but good fortune coming your way. so… a heem heem herrmmm…may I request a romantic Jericho Felocity post…an imagine…a heem…

SAVE POINT

synopsis… Your boyfriend was a master escape artist. It was really only a matter of time before he escaped from prison and came home.

ft. Jericho Felocity

tags… epithet erased spoilers, fluff, post jailbreak reunion, mentions of prison gang, use of nicknames, established relationship, reader and Jericho live together

word count… 1144

a/n… YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I WAS TO SEE OUR FIRST REQUEST WAS FOR JERICHO!!! LIVE LAUGH LOVE JERICHO I EAT SLEEP AND BREATHE JERICHO!!!!!!!!!! ✧🦄

It had been about half past four when you received the phone call. Despite the risk of it being spam, you admittedly hadn’t looked away from the TV when you answered it. Things had been slow ever since your speedy boyfriend got taken to prison, so you might as well cure your loneliness by listening to an automated voice message.

“Hi!”

The single word had you shooting up from your slouched position instantly. That polite, unbothered tone and cheery voice could only belong to one person.

“Jerry?!” It was impossible to conceal your excitement. “I thought they didn’t give you phone calls!”

“Oh, they don’t!” A brief pause before he followed up, “I broke out. Me and some other people. They were my party members!”

…..I mean, could you expect anything less? You wondered why he didn’t just glitch out of his cell on the first day.

“We all left the party, so I should be coming home now.”

“Now?” You parroted his words.

“Is now not soon enough? I can try to shave off a couple more seconds if I backwards long jump over some of the cars if you want.”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant! Now is good. Great, even, I’m just glad you’re finally—“

Jericho’s apologetic voice cut you off. “Oh, hold on, this is starting to phase through my hand. I’m gonna have to talk to you—“

The garbage noise on the other end informed you that your boyfriend had disconnected, but you weren’t upset at all. No, you were just left sitting on the couch with the timer app open.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four—

A knock on the door nearly caused you to drop your phone, but you managed to stop the timer at 4.97 seconds. It probably would’ve taken shorter if he didn’t go through the effort of knocking. It always took him a few tries to get his hand to actually touch the door.

You couldn’t beat his time, even if it was just going from the living room to the front door, but you knew he would forgive you. Despite being the fastest man alive, Jericho was never anything but patient with you. Loving you wasn’t a part of a speedrun, he said. He’s with you for a 100% completion run.

God, you love that dork.

Even if you didn’t open the door as quickly as you could, your prize was still there waiting for you when you did. Your boyfriend, grinning wide and sort of shaking in place. Just the way you liked him.

“Hi! I’m back. I really missed you!” He would say in quick succession, making the muscles of your face tug harder at the corners of your mouth with each sentence.

With a grin wider than you thought yourself capable of, you instructed him, “Stand really still for me, okay?”

“Okay!” Jericho Felocity mustered all the strength in his body to try and stand as close to still as possible for himself. The fact that Jericho could stand still for you was nothing short of a testament to how much he loved you.

When you were sure he was standing ‘still’, albeit shaking slowly, you would launch yourself onto him, wrapping your arms around his waist and burying your face in his shoulder. Jericho was stronger than he looked, barely budging even after you’d flung your entire body weight at him.

“Oh!” Taking the hint, his trembling hands found their place on your upper back. “Why are you crying? Are you okay?”

It was only when he’d said this did you feel your own tears wetting your cheeks. Ah, so you were.

“Yes, yes, more than okay,” a long sniffle interrupted your words, “just…..really happy to see you.

“I’m happy to see you too!” His reply was simple and matter of fact, like there was no reason he’d ever feel otherwise. These simple words along with the quick circles being traced into your shirt were Jericho’s unique yet effective method of comfort.

After a long yet comfortable period of silence, you would ask, “So, who were these ‘party members’ of yours? Were they all nice to you?”

“Oh, yeah! There was Ramsey, Indus and Mera, Dixon, Slim—“

“Slim?” You pulled back from the hug to shoot him a quizzical look. “Like California Slim?”

Jericho nodded. “Yep!”

“The murderer?”

And nodded again. “Yep!"

Well, that didn’t bode well. “You sure that guy is your friend?”

“I don’t see why not. He was actually kinda nice if you weren’t on his bad side.” Your boyfriend’s good nature prevented you from being even a little bit mad at him.

“Jerry, you are way too trusting. You’re just impossible to hate.”

A light blush coated Jericho’s cheeks, which you didn’t fail to notice. “Aw, c’mon……I wanna have you meet them someday! They’d love you.” He said that with such confidence, which in turn made you blush. “They were all so surprised when I said I was dating someone. Except Dixon. Dixon said he knew it.”

“I think Dixon is my favorite so far.” Your remark earned a frankly adorable laugh from Jericho. His hands lingered on your back, still drawing little shapes and patterns while you thought. “So where are they, do you know? I assume you all had to split and take care of business.”

“Oh, yeah.” His nods were so fast that you sometimes didn’t notice that his head had moved at all. “Ramsey did offer to all go get takeout together, but Slim didn’t want to, Mera and Indus had to leave, and…..” emerald green eyes averted from your face sheepishly, “…..I just really wanted to get home as quick as I could, honestly.”

“Oh?” You cocked a brow. “Another speedrun?”

A blurry shake of his head again, this time from side to side. “It’s not really like that, no. Just…..” you felt the strange, fuzzy feeling of his hands phasing through your body to rest on your shoulders instead. “It’s been a really long quest, and you always need to save after a long quest, right? I just really missed my save point.”

Save point? You scrunched up your nose. You don’t remember Jericho keeping anything that looked like a save point in the house. Did he pick one up from one of his wacky adventures at some point?

“Oh, I don’t know where that is, sorry Jer….maybe I put it away by accident?”

A hearty laugh was not the response that you expected from your boyfriend. It was rare for him to laugh that hard. Not that you were complaining, you just……weren’t sure what you said?

“No, no, I mean….” His bright smile warmed your heart, but not as much as his words.

“You’re my save point.”

Another thing you loved about Jericho Felocity was that his kisses were always electric.

[goldentigerfestival]

Made myself a little collective list of some favorite screenshots from the JP version of Vesperia along with some stray thoughts along the way. This post is part of my "the dub changed this stuff" post group, but I've separated these scenes as more of personal "I love these little scenes" scenes versus actual plot scenes that got altered.

I've also posted video clips of my favorite scenes and heavy changes, so consider those a supplement to this and vice versa.

My preference of the JP version also isn't just because of translation, but also the wording tone and vocal tone. I find it more fun/appealing/emotional/etc.

Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 3.

Part 4.

This dunk on Flynn is everything to me (as in, Flynn does taste test... it just doesn't save anyone else).

I swear that was the exact moment Yuri's "may have to adopt this child, gotta test it" radar turned on.

Mind you Yuri is also a lonely depressed mess and you can't even pry that from my cold dead hands. Karol slipping up right there was aaaall Yuri needed to protect that boy.

Also posted this in video form because the way Flynn uses the exact same term (abandon) that Yuri used in the prison just gets me. Don doesn't even know Yuri used that wording before and Flynn says it anyway. Don doesn't know Yuri used that wording and Yuri doesn't even hear Flynn say this, but Flynn uses the exact term anyway. It's literally his way of saying to Yuri without telling him directly, "I would not abandon you".

This one wasn't really changed in the dub, but I don't feel like making a video just for this. Basically I just love the way Toriumi made him sound so sleepy-annoyed, and then when he stands up he sounds tired-annoyed, like, I am so sick of this guy tired.

I just think. this is adorable.

"How about you try knocking?" " 'Kay."

I love the way this is phrased. He has so much faith in Yuri and knows if Yuri was in the knights that he could do so much. Like, not just, you could do this. Just. If it's you, then...

I just LOVE the delivery here.

You could also translate this as Yuri saying it's a mess here/Flynn looks like a mess.

i lov heem.

(Changed in the dub to "Y'know, I've never been good at taking orders". Not the same energy to me LOL)

I don't actually remember what this was in the dub but I love this scene because of Yuri's reaction to what Raven said. Raven wasn't with them in Heliord when all that happened, implying to Yuri he was there though. But why? Why would he be in Heliord? Yes, we know Schwann was, but Raven never showed his face to them there. Yuri getting another accidental tip off that Raven is in fact very fishy for really real!

Not an important change on the dub's end, but I like this version more because it kind of shows how far gone Zagi is. Obviously the blastia is not defying him and has no will of its own, but ye boi isn't really worried about that!

Again, not really important, but the dub changed this to "the kids are alright", which is one of the very very very few changes I prefer. It adds to his character, whereas this is just good ol' Raven. It doesn't take away from anything and does actually show that he's rooting for them in a way (in a joking way since they're all in the desert and y'all know how he acts at this part). The dub comes across more as trying to alleviate Yuri of some of the burden by telling him the others are okay and implying not to worry so much.

That said, obviously I don't like when they change things and I do like the line he uses in the dub, but I'm not sure why they changed it...?

Just Raven being a silly little guy!

An interesting thing to note is that you can interpret this both as "a crime" and as "a sin". Basically, you could say Yuri's committed the act of a sinner, rather than just plainly saying they're crimes. Yuri follows up using the same word, which can be seen as admitting he believes he's committed acts of a sinner (so not just that murder is a crime, but that it's a sin and that he's a sinner for it).

Adds a bit more depth to how Yuri views himself/his actions imo, while Flynn is currently still in his "law is black and white" phase - something that is part of Flynn's own character arc and growth that he learns from and changes from.

A fun thing to also note is that Link, the gacha game, had a Yuri unit sporting the title "Sin Bearer", which fits perfectly in line with this and was likely a direct reference to this (note that it doesn't use "crime" in the title, but "sin", something that also relates back to Yuri in the gacha game Crestoria).

(Basically, the term used here is literally "tsumi", which can be used to mean both and in Yuri's case can be used interchangeably while meaning both at the same time. He's committed a crime and is a sinner because of it - though as mentioned above, Namco seems to prefer the continuation of the "sin" side of it in other official Yuri content)

Full scene is here, but I just wanted to talk about this one particular part of the delivery.

Flynn's tone is very soft. He's literally just wondering where Yuri already disappeared to, and the anger in his voice is completely gone. It's pretty interesting to me because it almost feels like him confronting Yuri at the very end of the argument was like a formality as a knight, and him just being worked up about the law.

As soon as he switches his mindset and tone back to talking to Sodia about the barricade, it's like the tension in his mind was switched off and he's already lost the pressure of the moment. It actually almost sounds innocent, as if wondering why Yuri walked away. Obviously we can determine why Yuri walked away, but in a way here with Flynn, it actually almost sounds like he's confused. The dub had it be more of "oh, where'd he go", but to me the original delivery sounds genuinely confused about why he took off.

I obviously can't confirm what the intention was behind the delivery in this case without literally asking the JP director lol which tough shit because we know that's never gonna happen, but it almost feels like some crazy degree of Flynn's own internal/mental struggles.

Sort of like, wanting to uphold the law but still trying to be a friend to Yuri and having trouble because he can't separate the two from himself (i.e. yes he wants to uphold the law but not at Yuri's expense and is thus affected by bias. Obviously I can't confirm if just the way he says Yuri's name in this scene is an indicator that he's confused and it's causing his black and white view to crack, but it's an interesting thing to consider).

Just a fun tidbit that got changed in the dub. They probably figured most players wouldn't actually know what he meant here and so just changed it to what the term actually means. Basically, it means they're the ones traveling/not in their home territory and thus don't have the advantage.

i love you yuri lowell

i stan a man and we're all just gonna have to live with that.

Can also be translated as Flynn wanting to settle things with the him who believed in Alexei.

I genuinely don't even actually know what the dub uses for Flynn's line here, but I love this line so I'm including it here.

This is literally just Yuri saying "thank you, thank you", but in English then in Japanese. I love this dork.
