I was struck with a case of not being sane and I went and studied Archer's Pokemas model. It was really educational (๑˘︶˘๑)

Few notes:

a) his ears are really big and sometimes are seen from angles from which no second ear should be seen

b) his fists are clenched more often than not! Is he sitting consumed with lust all the time and that's why? XD

c) his jawline is very delicate!

d) upturned nose :)

e) his calves are very notable, he does a lot of legwork or what

f) I'm kind of charmed at the way he hides his face a bit when sneering... He tries to be professional but fails bc he's a mobster, what a great detail uwu

(There is obviously more but I feel those are the most notable bits uwu)

howdo I start this ok mao is kind of like one of those people who as a kid is seen as more mature. Due to neglect from parents who think their child is mature and does not nessacarily need support or praise because he can handle himself

when mao was a kid he didn't like to lose (something that can be seen as childish) but he didn't like to win either so he wouldn't hurt anyone (I Don't think a lot of kids think about aftermath feelings when it's just a game) so he was okay with placing 2nd/3rd if mao doesn't hurt people and doesn't cause a conflict then he can be liked and more approachable and possibly even be praised

I Don't think maos care and love for taking caring of others and handling things on his own is entirely based off of his want and enjoyment of praise but it definitely plays somewhat of a part in it; he just generally loves people. he's willing to push aside his own feelings for them

I think the real question though is does mao love himself?

Fast forward to first year mao and this guy is well Still acting mature but the thing is that he meets trickstar which compared to him seems more childish but that is exactly what mao needs. To be childish

trickstar allows mao to be childish and have a dream. mao is growing up yes and growing up is seen as becoming more mature but for mao to grow up he needs to become more childish. To have and chase after a dream and be more selfish and break away from being kind of empty from what maturity has given him is what being in trickstar gives to mao

mao is already warm to others but trickstar gave him the fuel to be warm to himself

to be warm to yourself isn't really something you can perfectly accomplish over night it's moreso about growing to take yourself into account too A person who gives constantly is someone who also needs to give just as much to themselves. you have to burn to be warm and you have to learn how to control that fire over time. build a row of campfires mao and come back to me when you're done

do you have a favourite portrayal of a character in the gotg game!! who is it and why <3

Oh I think they're all great honestly!!! Part of why I love the game so much is that genuinely, the whole team + supporting characters are written with such obvious love of the source material and equal attention between them all. When I see comments of people saying who their favorite character was from the game and the answer always being different from each person I'm like!! That's how it SHOULD be!!! They're the Guardians of the Galaxy (plural) the focus shouldn't all fall on a singular character like most other GotG media usually ends up as 😭

The two (sorry I can't pick just one) whom I think benefit the most from the game though are Drax and Gamora because they're almost always sidelined both in-and-out of universe by most of the various writers (especially as of late) and in turn the viewers/readers. I've been told plenty of times that they're the most boring members of the "main" team, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY! The amount of love the game versions get (by the few who've played it at least) proves that 🥺

I've never really liked 616 Drax shifting to being a complete clown during the 90s and such (and even less so when the MCU followed along 💀) So I appreciate the game taking a bit of his seriousness from the DnA run and just making him struggle with nuance and context clues in a less exaggerated way (autistic Drax I still believe in u) and I feel the focus put on him and how losing his original family + the aftermath deeply affected him hits pretty hard here because it's treated very seriously and shown in depth, especially with how his family (wife) gets actual focus. I cannot tell you anything about Yvette in comparison to Hovat, who actually seemed to have had a personality lol (AND she was on their village's council like omg imagine having more to you than just being The Housewife) Though I will say I flip and flop on my thoughts about Heather being disconnected from Drax's life in this universe... The TLDR is that I think his arc here specifically works stronger when he has to come to terms with losing his entire family and accepting the life he currently has with the Guardians. BUT!!! I very much appreciate that Heather is still confirmed to exist within this universe, even if that means her dad issues would have to be dealt with in a different context if we ever get to see her.

Also? Shoutout to the writers actually bringing up the intense paranoia that always kneecapped 616 Drax but having that be a turning point in his backstory here, with that conversation he has with Peter where he talks about how he was becoming so paranoid of everyone being a chitauri/Thanos conspirator to the point of literally turning into an obsessed maniac like Thanos, and realizing that he desperately needed to turn his life around, it's so ough.

Out of the already many great conversations throughout the game, I think the ones with him are the most poignant. My favorite scene in the whole game is Drax and Pete's little moment on Knowhere... makes me go wahhh

(l also love that out of everyone on the team, it's his headspace that we quite literally get to go into. You KNOW that if this was any other media it'd be going into Rocket or Groot's head and likely treated as a joke.)

And oh my god, Gamora...

I find it so extremely refreshing that her role in the plot doesn't revolve purely around the men in her life, and instead, it's nearly exclusively her connection with other women. Or in the most direct obstacle she has to deal with, being how she starts projecting to the millionth degree on Nikki's situation for reminding her of what happened to her and Nebula. I find that infinitely more fascinating as a reading of her character rather than just dating drama or her arc getting completely overtaken by a man's instead.

And especially in her friendship with Mantis, who, despite having all these futures she's constantly seeing and having to navigate, still makes time to do her best to help her 🥺 From saving her life and being the one who put her on the path to healing on Lamentis, to getting her to join the Guardians and still checking in on her when she's able 😭 Friendship between women can be so powerful... u love to see it (🏳️‍🌈)

I also find it nice that there's this emphasis on her recovering mentally, and the comparison between Thanos essentially teaching her to just Deal with the shit in her life through very simplistic meditation versus the priests of Pama actually teaching her something to help soothe the mind :^( and that she still has moments of relapsing essentially. I find that to be a realistic take on recovery because that's just part of the journey since healing is not linear... and I think it's very sweet that she finds comfort in collecting something ---girly--- like dolls. Love to see a person reclaim a part of their childhood that they weren't allowed to experience. And how she's allowed to make BAD JOKES?? Imagine a woman being written to have multiple dimensions, crazy and absolutely unthinkable, I know.

There's this extremely specific theme in relation to Gamora across media that's been rattling around in my brain since first playing the game. When near the end during the revisit to Knowhere, she's about to completely lose it when Peter tries talking -for- her on what she's so upset about before immediately shooting him down, and she explains what happened between her and Nebula and she starts crying. It really struck me right then that she's never given a moment to cry elsewhere (or in the 616's case, the quite literal inability to.) aside from her shedding a Single Manly Tear (Original Sin) or a single moment out of legit fear (MCU 💀) because she's a hashtag Strong Independant Woman who can't be vulnerable etc etc. But for her to cry in front of the people she's come to care about, It gives her a moment of true vulnerability that I don't think she's allowed ever in most other media.

That and all of the above hits hard and is what makes me genuinely believe that the writers cared about her in the narrative and tried to do right by her when every other bit of media really hasn't nor cared to the majority of the time since the 90s :'^/ Brings a tear to my eye that she's allowed to just... exist in the narrative on her own merits and not on what she can provide to someone else's story.

Asahiii, there she iiiiis

It's a rather quick ref sheet and definitely not done yet, but I got into traffic for a ridiculous amount of time and then I needed a few hours under a heated blanket. I was not made for winter.

I wrote a little snippet about her but it turned into more than I bargained for, so that's gonna follow somewhen this week- I started like a 'Surviving the Gōtei 13 for Dummies and I originally only wanted to write Asahi's entry but I ended up including Tōsen and Shūhei because they aggressively live in my head rent free

So yeah, head's up for that, for the juicy Asahi backstory and also the many ways in which this woman is a bleeding heart and an idiot

@gallusrostromegalus you're now my excuse to ramble about her, my apologies

But also, AEIWAM has inspired me and given my brain the britzies in just the right ways to finally get me to write and create again and pick up old Bleach things so an honest thank you from me in that regard- I've been aching to create but nothing could really motivate me for a while, but now I'm excited about things again:)
