artfight was so fucking fun chat

[egophiliac]

I'm still processing 7-13, in the meantime have this super quick thing! of all the things that happened that I didn't expect, one of 'em certainly was a not insignificant subplot revolving around Silver unintentionally committing international mail fraud.

[hinamie]

in spite of everything, I had fun <3

party chat #56: nanba's transformation

(transcript both in alt text and below)

[image description: five-page comic of a "party chat" conversation from yakuza 7.

beneath the scaffolding of a construction site, nanba holds a bottle of tea and asks "hey, you think i've changed at all since we met?"

the rest of the party, standing or crouching on the side of the path, turn to look at him.

"hm? have you?" ichiban tilts his head, hand on chin, and lets saeko pick from his chip bag. "i dunno, lemme think..."

adachi leaps to his feet, splashing his can of beer and surprising saeko. "got it!"

adachi snaps his fingers with a triumphant smile. "you changed how you part your hair!"

"huh?" nanba reaches toward the back of his own head. "nope, it's still the same..." adachi sheds a single tear.

hand raised high, saeko announces "right! your prescription changed!" ichiban taps a canned coffee on his palm in an "i get it!" motion. "what, are you trying to be funny now!? and that's wrong, too!" nanba retorts.

"okay!" han looks serious. "you changed the frames on your glasses!"

"you started wearing contacts instead of glasses!" zhao finger-guns with a grin.

"will you quit it with the glasses thing!?" nanba snaps at an unfazed, juicebox-sipping han. "and does it look like i'm wearing contacts!?" he gestures at himself. zhao smugly bites an onigiri, still squatting on the ground.

adachi frowns around a pocky. "huh? then what's changed?"

"never mind... sheesh." nanba turns his back on the group.

a view of the vending machine and soccer field across the way. "i just thought maybe i'd grown a bit cheerier since i met you guys."

"that's all." nanba doesn't see the party staring in shocked silence.

saeko, han, and zhao exchange fond looks.

nanba chugs his tea as ichiban approaches.

ichiban bumps his drink hand against nanba's.

"well, we already knew that, man." ichiban grins so wide his eyes shut.

"yeah, you smile a lot more than you did before, nan-chan." saeko concurs, offering him her chip bag.

nanba looks up, eyes wide. "ichiban... you guys..."

a hand lands on nanba's shoulder.

arm slung over his friend's back, ichiban cheerfully assures "and i noticed that you got some new lenses on your glasses, too." nanba's face falls.

the party loses it. saeko collapses on adachi, both doubled over in laughter, zhao cackles as his glasses fall off, and han clutches his head in despair.

"i didn't change anything about my glasses!" nanba roars. on the ground, a plastic bag of leftover snacks reads "#56 nanba's transformation".

speaking of jon's burns actually i just had a thought

martin said in s5 that he hates being burned and that burns scar horribly (directly to jon which is like. martin. DUDE.) but people also love some classic jmart wound care so i'm just imagining poor martin after ep 92 seeing jon again and being like "jon your hand.... what've you done to it?" and he's like ".... i burned it" "oh no let me have a look" "it's bad" "it's probably not that bad" "It's Bad" "Just Let Me Fucking See It Dammit" and martin unwraps it enough to see like half a finger with this days-old third-degree burn on it and just verrrry gently wrapping it back up again and going ".... Hospital."

(and also ofc poor jon having to deal with yknow. Being The Burned One and having martin's reaction be that way in the moment and then hearing that in s5)

"No matter how bad I wanted to be, I'm not your last. I'm your first... If I were to move in with you, you wouldn't mean to, you wouldn't plan for it, but you'd end up breaking my heart."

So how’s ride kamens going for you as I just pulled my self together long enough to read the other half of the current main story

I've been working on catching up on the event stories since they announced the upcoming main story update! (I totally bombed the last few events...they're so fast-paced and I just didn't have time...😭)

and then of course they went and dropped THIS on us today

(you don't understand, I LOVE Tajador and I already love the two blurry frames they've given us of non-silhouetted Kelka, I'm ready to absolutely lose my shit come the announcement/reveal(?) stream on Thursday --)

how it feels posting about tokyo revengers in 2024

[wizzardkisser]

seeing divergence through the lens of it being a love story to matt (and exandria itself) really has solidified it for me. the fact that even in a party with two gods, mortality is treated as the most holy of things.

even beyond godhood -- and i truly can't stop thinking about bahamut and the all hammer doing the dirty work, the manual work, the tiring job of walking the world and experiencing the horrors of the calamity first hand in their mortal lives, and then having to carry that knowledge. when bahamut said that the gods knew the fights of the calamity were wrong because they would cause immense pain he meant both the primes and the betrayers. and it's so meaningful that the gods of justice, and righteousness, and creation were the ones who came with the idea of the gate. a last resource to protect that which is most worthy: mortals.
