#I think mine'd be....

[lothricknightgirl]

Here's a few questions for you.

If you were a Dark Souls/Demon's Souls/Bloodborne styled boss battle, what would your arena look like, what would you be (a creature, just some dude, other, etc, etc), and what would your theme sound like?

[todayisafridaynight]

What do you think Mine’s reaction to Masato / Aoki be like?

tbh they'd probably be. amicable. at the very least.

[apatchworkstar]

Does anyone ever think about what their mv + music would be like if they were in milgram?

Hiiiieeee skrapa-skibidi-bap-mm-bap boiiiiiiiii :DDD

Gotta say I'm loving the new header and sona (they're so cute ong 🙏) and was just popping in your inbox to say hi :D

....

Bro I just got an idea

Okay so what if our OC's/sona's/etc were able to access "Tumblr" thought a secret key thing inside our rooms in our homes, and the door would open to the white void (Tumblr, hangout space, etc) and we could all talk and hang out together?

And that's how our sona's interact? :D

And like the key card is whatever special token you want it to be and that represents your profile? I think mine'd be a Dave n' Busters play card or something like it.

Anyway hiii and sorry for sending you this so late 😅

OMIGOSH HIII SMOL!! ALSO THANK YOU, I LOVE DRAWING MY SONA :∆

also that is such a good idea :0 I actually made a sideblog for Nora a while ago, her card would probably be a cashed out chuck-e-cheese one tho

also you're fine, I was up anyhow :]

Dear Ash, Goh and Chloe.

If each of you had to be Gym Leaders, what type would you go for, what team would you have, and what would the premise of the gym's puzzle be to have the opportunity to battle you?

Goh: Well, I think mine would be bugs, because I have lots of those! My puzzle would make the challengers answer trivia questions about various subjects, so it'd test their brains as well as their brawn! 🧐

I'd have Parasect, Pinsir and Heracross (can't separate those two, after all), and Shedinja!

Ash: I wish I could say mine'd be Electric so that I could use Pikachu, but... I just don't have that many Electric-type! So I'll pick Fire.

Pikachu: Pikaaaaa 😥

Ash: Sorry, Pikachu 😭 But anyway, I'd have lots of options for a team, since I have 7 Fire-types, I think? Yeah. And I wouldn't have a puzzle, let's just have fun with pokémon battles! 😋

Chloe: Uhh. I don't have enough pokémon for a team, but I suppose it could be normal-type? It depends on if Eevee will evolve or not. Unlike these other two, I want to keep my starter on my team!

Goh: Hey, now >_> We have good reasons!

Chloe: And my puzzle would be a sliding-tile puzzle. The challenger would have to complete the picture to unlock each room in the gym! I don't know what they would show, maybe some of my pokémon, I guess. When I catch some. If I catch some. Goh spent most of our pokéball budget already 💦

[todayisafridaynight]

what i've learned from the past few asks is you know the astrology gf & stocks bf? minedai is the yaoi version of that

absolutely scared of what this means what are you talking about

[todayisafridaynight]

Me and my boyfriend started watching the cutscenes for dead souls and like my boyfriend openly admits just "Daigo has a bromance in every game he's in.. Even this one with majima" Then I saw your Mine Dead Souls ask- I think Mine would just die on the spot just because of Daigo crossdressing (bro died happy)

daigo a popular man what can i say

[todayisafridaynight]

any post y3 mine thoughts? because I just want him to be happy

oh i got Y3 mine thoughts but i don't know if i'd call them happy

surviving the fall leaves him hospitalized for a while, the duration of his stay leaving him alone since he's considered dead by all his past associates.

there's a chance that katase gets to know he's alive on account of probably being the only public contact he has. in the event she does visit, she's more so shocked and at a loss for words and doesn't make her visit long (he probably tells her the truth of what happened- he's generally an open book like that, but again what can you really say to your boss telling you he tried to kill himself and you two don't really have much of a friendship). Good Ending is that katase makes it known how she actually does care about him beyond being her boss and the two gradually become friends (or mine's at least more open to accepting her as a friend- he might still be the tiniest bit wary she's only worried about him for business purposes), helping him get back into his old life

he's given a lot of time to think, especially about what kiryu's said to him. but once he's discharged, he doesn't make an attempt to return to the tojo: he still believes he's irreparably wronged daigo and reasons he would be better without mine around

whether he goes back to his old company or try to jump start a new one in order to lay low's up in the air for me tbh, but i imagine he goes with the latter- probably doesn't want to chance anyone finding him again, at least not immediately. for giggles i like to imagine he sets up in ijincho: the place where everyone who should be dead but isn't winds up (visiting Survive, him and The Bartender seem to have a quiet agreement not to talk to each other very long)

his life generally goes back to the way it was, but he can't deny there's still a hollow hole in his chest. despite his new efforts, it's hard for mine to move on from the first and only person he's ever loved: mine was the one considered dead, yet he grieves daigo as though he actually did die that night

on occasion, he visits kamurocho for business purposes and tries not to linger too long. occasionally he catches daigo's limo or daigo himself around the city, and when he does he's quick to exit the area and tries not to stare too long- he just doesn't want to be seen, that's all.

maybe after daigo and watase disband the yakuza, mine privately invests in their new security business. he might not be there to help in person, but the least he can do is provide financial support form the shadows- it's nothing new to him anyhow

horrifying possibility: if there is an english dub for rgg8 and they do the thing where they dub the songs too. English ichiban singing judgement bottom text

and yes of course POSSIBILITY (possible possible I really hope he doesn't come back) mine in English. There were rumours before rgg3 came out that there was going to be english dub (lol) ever since then I've been giggling about which cartoon villain voice he would have. I'm thinking https://youtu.be/zzWxCLnrFd0?si=-ZrG-b3BPZdo466C.

What f mine's like a background character at the bar like you keep talking to Richardson and he's like "oh yeah mine lived too lol" and you never see him

i dick ride the eng dub sometimes but i will admit that the karoke songs just. Do NOt translate super well in english.. ima still listen tho LMAO im legally required to by law

i doubt mine'll actually be in lad8 thtd just be wayy too funny....

youre foul for thinkin eng mine'd sound like this tho LMAOO

[todayisafridaynight]

Loving all the Mine chat today! In a world where neither of them have Daigo to fixate on (for whatever reason) what do you think interactions between Mine and Masato/Aoki would be like? All your comics have them obv pitted against one another (always gives me a giggle gotta say!!) but I'm curious bout your thoughts on them/their potential interactions if Daigo wasn't part of the equation. I think they could be so evil together in whatever capacity. Real "I could make him worse" territory.

Sorry if this is a bit silly (I know removing Daigo removes a lot of other things too) I just love listening to you talk about guys ™️ lmao

i am a renowned Guy(TM) Talker this is a fair thing to assert

BUT honestly they'd probably like. not be friends or Sincerely get along but they'd probably use each other one way or another if given the opportunity: aoki wanting to exploit mine's skills, knowledge, and wealth, all the while mine At Least keeping an eye on aoki's influence (and if he wanted to do his homework probably keep tabs on the arakawas) and considering if it'll have potential use down the line. it's not like it's hard to imagine them having similar ideologies or morals either

mine'd absolutely loathe aoki's pride in his philosophy tho- even if it does align with his own somewhat LMAO

[todayisafridaynight]

what type would your favorite yakuza characters be if they were pokémon

if i say mine'd be a fire/fighting type i'm gonna think of infernape and Every Fire Starter Pokemon so we might as well stop there

As someone who has been putting Mine and Jo (well, specifically RGGJo, but the premises still apply) in Situations since 2020… It is exceptionally hard to get them in the same room but with the power of mental illness we can make it happen.

Mine started out by poaching more profitable families from under their umbrella organizations, right? The Arakawa Family has always been fairly well-off for a third-tier family (if Masato's allowance is any indication), particularly compared to the Nishikiyama Family who weren't bringing in any profit at all, and Mine has pretty good instincts in terms of sussing out potential.

So it would be worth dropping by the office (probably to get turned away with Yet Another Lecture about codes of honor, Arakawa's pretty old-school). But. You know. Jo Would Be There. I feel like Jo may have considered it a missed opportunity in terms of the family's prosperity (though it's not like he can speak over Arakawa), since Mine's terms are insanely good from a business point of view, although it ultimately proves to be for the best when the Nishikiyama Family and Hakuho Clan dissolve.

On the other hand, very fun to think about what Mine would be in for if he attempted to blackmail them into submission As Per Usual, or what he'd even be able to dig up if he pulled out all stops and looked into them.

Mine does have a tendency to make way more enemies than friends, too, so maybe someone puts a hit on him and the Arakawa Family (i.e. Jo) is assigned to it. The Only Thing That Can Kill Mine Is Himself (Allegedly) so it wouldn't work out, obviously, but it would be epic… Mine could take him…

Or say Mine recovers from Dying and wants to disappear. The whole homeless quarter thing's a "secret," but the Arakawa Family must have some kind of reputation if people specifically go to them to start their new lives. They could be the ones to ship him off to Yokohama. I've always said that plot point makes it so pretty much any dead character could be brought back if it's believable enough that they could know about the Arakawas.

Hell, Mine didn't HAVE to join the Nishikiyama Family, they were just the first "in" he could find and he stumbled upon them basically by accident. It could've been any family. And perhaps if he joined the Arakawa Family instead, his quest for bonds could've had a bit less heartbreak… one or two new dads who're soft on him because he reminds them of their son… Jo wouldn't have anything to complain about either, Mine'd be the top earner for sure…

Or they just happen to be the two guys at the Poppo who happen to be tall enough to look over the shelves and they spend the whole time avoiding eye contact and then never meet again.

Many such scenarios…

with the power of mental illness literally anything is possible and i know now without a doubt this is SO TRUE
