#I've got more stuff with Rei if you wanna check it out

[nell0-0]

Hi Nell0. Thanks for responding to my last ask and wishing me luck with my wisdom teeth! Also congrats with your graduation and good luck with everything coming your way! Hmm I didn’t saw the teacups at the festival for I was busy looking at how happy everybody is! Also that pic of Rei and Ingo was very cute! Also what’s your headcanon for their relationship because everyone tend to make Akari like a niece or daughter to Ingo but nothing for Rei. Thx so much! 🍵

Hi again! Actually, there IS stuff with Rei, but Akari's got more due to being the more popular MC of the two I guess (also probably bc of anime Dawn). It depends mostly on who you choose as the MC in Legends. Instead of categorizing them as Akari and Rei, if we focus on their roles of MC and professor assistant, it stands to reason that the chosen MC gets closer to Ingo bc of both being Fallers.

You see, that's the wonder of being a fan content artist/writer, I have multiple HCs that contradict each other until I talk about a specific AU or circumstance.

I like it when both the MC and professor assistant have a certain level of friendship with Ingo though.

hii this is like an hour late but shhh i just found your account so ye i got questions if you wanna answer them

what animes do you watch/like? (besides trigun lol) any all time favourites or underrated shows?

what sort of music do you listen to?

when was the last time you had food from a food truck?

do you wear socks when you sleep? (this is an endless topic of debate between my friends)

favourite anime characters?

which do you like more: pink or purple (you have free reign over the shades)

least favourite colour?

if you've ever travelled out of country, how many countries have you been to?

if you could be isekai'd into any fictional world, which one would you like to be in?

thank you for sending me questions! i had a weird day so i'm deep in the sillyzone

Anime: I absolutely adore Revolutionary Girl Utena. Holy shit. If you're at all into the parts of trigun that are a survivor narrative I'd recommend this, (I also just recommend it in general) but look up the content warnings because they're not fucking around. Some of the most tremendous catharsis and hands down the best writing of trauma, abuse, and the queer experience I've ever seen. I also like Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Princess Mononoke. TBH I haven't watched a lot of anime recently.

Music: oh god my music taste is all over the place. No seriously. I listen to classic rock bc that's what I was raised on, and classical/orchestral bc i was in orchestra for (checks calendar) oh fuck ten years. I like...idk folk rock? Like the Crane Wives? But also Janelle Monae? And lately I've needed to deep fry my brain to electronica, and I like this one group called "The Lyre Ensemble" who recreated ancient Sumerian hymns, they're pretty cool. Also "Tinariwen", check them out. Punk?? Shit with drums? Have you heard of "Afro Celt Sound System"? "Rodrigo y Gabriela"? IDK keep asking me and I can be more in depth

Food truck: oh it's been way too long. I think it was last year. Not as many food trucks around me as I'd like, but lots of kickass stripmall food.

Socks: i didnt used to, bc I get very hot when I sleep, but i got metal in my leg and the laws of thermodynamics very much apply, so i need to keep my ankle insulated or it hurts like hell

fav anime characters: apart from the trigun characters i post about constantly? uhhhh utena tenjou, edward elric, winry rockbell, Nausicaa, Ayanami Rei (telling on myself here)

Pink or purple: it's hard to find a good purple, so i end up wearing/using more pink, but i think i have to go with a deep, rich purple. not reddish

least favorite color: is "greige" cheating? i think it depends on the context, but i don't like salmon or mustard mostly bc i can't wear them without looking like a corpse

traveling: not including the US, I've been to 14 countries. done a lot of moving

isekai'd: aauoouaoua ok i think about worldbuilding and the day to day living a lot, and i read a lot of stuff with broken as shit worlds, so most would suck and I'd die immediately. Maybe Land of the Lustrous? It's so far in the future, I'd love to see how things have changed and evolved, and I think I'd like to talk to the gems.

Thank youuuu this was fun! Sillies

Flashback | PSYCHOBREAK 11

Writer: Akira (日日日)

Characters: Rei, Adonis, Koga, Kaoru

Rei: What the heck, you're gonna make me cry… It's enough to move even my weary, withered heart. I've been thirsty for so long… But right now, strangely, I feel satisfied.

[ For the best viewing experience, please read directly on my blog! ♪ ]

Rei: ~………♪

Adonis: Oh? Sakuma-senpai, where did you get that guitar?

Rei: This is the temple belongin' to bouzu's family, yeah? I remembered leavin' a buncha instruments in their storehouse, so I went and grabbed 'em just now.

Koga: What are you, a couple that just broke up?

Rei: Emotionally, it really does feel like that. Even though we're cooperatin' like this at the moment, I don't think there's a~any hope of us gettin' back together. Even if he wants us to, I'm to~otally not into him anymore. Cause y'see, right now, I'm in the mood for new encounters ♪ ♪~♪~♪

Adonis: Ohhh… What a great song. Even though the melody is very aggressive, when you listen to it, it makes you feel strangely uplifted. Oogami, you composed a song like this all by yourself? That's amazing.

Koga: Y-yeah… But it's just that the person performin' it is crazy skilled…. In Sakuma-senpai's hands, even a mediocre song'll become a masterpiece.

Rei: Aw, he's feelin' shy. How nice it is to be so young n' innocent~. I wanna regain those kinds of pure feelings too~ Or rather... I'm sure that's exactly what Pup was hopin' for when he named us UNDEAD. Just like Adonis-kun, he sensed I was feelin' down, though in his case it mighta been subconscious… He was hopin' t' help me regain my liveliness so I could be revived. What the heck, you're gonna make me cry… It's enough to move even my weary, withered heart. I've been thirsty for so long… But right now, strangely, I feel satisfied. I suppose, more than a million compliments… What I wanted was someone's pure feelings. ♪~♪~♪

Kaoru: Ohhh~ I don't really get what's going on here, but you guys sure are lively, huh~?

Rei: Yo, Hakaze-kun. Nice entrance, ya nailed the "executive comin' to check in on his employees" vibe. Just when I was startin' t' worry ya wouldn't show, too.

Kaoru: There's no way I'd be a no-show… After all, as the one who hired you to exterminate the "vampires" it's, like, totally my duty to make sure you guys don't slack off, right? I never thought I'd end up being part of a group as weird as "UNDEAD," though.

Rei: You're also an aspirin' idol at Yumenosaki academy, ain'tcha? So you'll be a valuable asset.

Kaoru: Don't get your hopes up, 'kay~? I'm notorious for slacking off at school. But, well, if I wanna protect my workplace — my place to belong — then I guess I'll have to put in some effort for once. What a pain, just kill me now~♪ So, that said, I totally made some promotional flyers to hype up tomorrow's showdown. Hand them out to your friends, 'kay? Though with the exception of Sakuma-san, who's super well-connected, it'll probably be a drop in the bucket. Also, I got a fancy stage all set up. Or well, not just me personally, but all the guys who run the shops downtown. They're super enthusiastic about helping out. I would have liked to get custom stage costumes too, but, like? I didn't know your measurements, and I figure there's probably not enough time to get anything made, anyway.

Rei: That's fine by me~ It ain't like our enemies are gonna be all that thorough either, so it'd look better if we just sing in our school uniforms, rather than showin' up in full costume n' comin' off as total try-hards. It'll be fair n' square; a real, proper match.

Koga: Hmm… So the reason we haven't seen ya at all up 'til now ain't cause you were slackin' off, you were actually busy gettin' a buncha stuff ready. I'm seein' you in a new light, Hakaze…senpai. Ya step up to the plate when it counts.

Kaoru: Yup, yup! I'm the kind of man you can rely on~ Really, it's true ♪

Koga: Yeah. Ya seem irresponsible at first glance, but you're actually a reliable guy. I'll remember that.

Adonis: Yes. You have been filling in the gaps we did not notice. It's a big help.

Kaoru: Even so, I still think we're, like, totally unprepared~ I mean, honestly. We've got the venue all set up, but we're seriously lacking in terms of practice, aren't we? The live to exterminate the "vampires" is tomorrow, isn't it? At this point, aren't we basically just winging it?

Rei: Well that's exactly why we're havin' this little get-together, yeah? It's also a chance for us to get t' know each other, since we're a newly formed unit n' all.

Adonis: It is more of a reorganization than a formation, though.

Rei: Ahaha. Funny how Adonis, who's the least familiar with Japanese, is the most precise about the meanin' behind words.

Adonis: Words are important.

Rei: Sure are. In this country, there's a belief known as kotodama¹. I heard about it from a good friend of mine who passed away recently—

Koga: Hasumi-senpai ain't actually dead, y'know… Even though he decided to work from behind the scenes, he's even more fired up about this than us. He even went and convinced his parents to let us use this place for practice without us even askin'.

Kaoru: He needn't have bothered, though~ We could've just, like, practiced at my family's live house.

Rei: 'Tis a good thing, ain't it? The weather's lovely today, and there doth lie a certain sense a' refinement in singin' n' dancin' beneath Mr. Sun's rays. We're gonna be huntin' "vampires," thus let us soak up their greatest weakness n' amass as much of its power as we may. ² ♪~♪~♪

Kaoru: A-are things really going to be okay like this~? You're talking, like, super optimistically and all, but do we have any guarantee that we can actually defeat the "vampires?"

Rei: Nobody knows the future. Not even me, obviously. But, somehow, I feel like things'll work out. For some reason, there's some gramps-like guy inside my head agreein' with me, goin' all, "Aye, 'tis exactly so," too.

Kaoru: What do you mean, "some guy inside my head"? Are you drunk?

Adonis: I asked the same thing earlier.

Rei: I'm perfectly sober. We're the ones who're gonna get rid of the delinquents, so there's nooo way I'm gonna go around breakin' the law like 'em. Without descendin' to the level of our enemies, we'll become like the sun and burn away the vices which corrupt the earth. Leave it to me. I'm feelin' oddly good, so I'll give it my all in tomorrow's performance. I can't say for sure what'll come after, but I can guarantee ya this much, at least.

Kotodama, or the soul of language, is the belief that words, especially names, hold power. Words must therefore be chosen with deliberate care, as they can have real effects on you and the people/things around you. You know how in shows and movies, martial artists always yell "Hyah!" or smth along those lines prior to attacks? That practice is rooted in this principle, with the idea that a confident, aggressive shout lends power to the attack. (Which is also why every shounen anime ever has the chars going around shouting their attack names.)

Rei is speaking in a haphazard mix of his delinquent and archaic old man speech for these lines. Yes, it does sound just as bizarre in JP as it does in ENG.
