Sorry about that. I didn't mean for it to come across that way. I meant it more as since you share your ideas and they inspire a lot of people to make their own art, are there any ideas from other people that inspire you? I should have worded that better. I apologise for making you uncomfortable. Please don't feel required to respond to this, I just felt the need to apologise for hurting your feelings.
Oh, gotcha! And don't worry about it!
I really appreciate you coming back to let me know. 💜
Tumblr media
I get inspired from a bunch of stuff! Though as far as AUs go, my biggest inspiration is my pal, Minki ( @/minkidoodles ). They're always there sharing thoughts and jokes and bouncing ideas around, and usually those chats are what get me to break out the tablet 💙
EDIT: Also anon, you inspired me to make this goofy new worm Goro and update my icon, so thanks for that! 🫶

Who have you been obsessing over this year OTHER than Diana/47?
Oh yes, the blorbos *dreamy sigh*
Well as you mentioned, we share the RPF brain worms and they have been on my mind through the year. You even got to read my first fic of them :D I’m hoping to finish another soon!
Diana/47 is my favorite Hitman ship, but Diana/Grey have really been teasing my brain this year. And don’t even get me started on the ideas for Diana/47/Grey! Your fics for them are so perfect and I hope to one day add to that ship too! Lots of great tension and angst with that one. <3
I published an Oxventure fic earlier this year for Corazon/Prudence and that was super fun. They are never far from my shippy thoughts, especially when I rewatch old Oxventure episodes :)
I do have new blorbos to fawn over too, and dear god do they have me in a chokehold! I’ve gotten into the Yakuza games this year and the old man yaoi has been so fun to obsess over! Kazumaji (Kazuma Kiryu/Majima Goro) is such an enticing ship to me and I really want to write about them. I will spare you a Pepe Silvia breakdown, but they are so perfect together and I dream that we get some sort of (happy) shippy thing in the next game. <3

ROUND TWO - Goro Akechi (Persona 5) VS Yesod (Lobotomy Corporation/Library of Ruina)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
!!! PROPAGANDA BELOW !!!
GORO AKECHI: "He's got this nice boy persona going on most of the game, but once the mask cracks, he's spitting venom whenever he talks. It's fantastic, especially for the short time he narrates battles. Bro's coming for everybody."
YESOD: ""AAHGH HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TTHERE’S JUST. yesod. probably spoilers here but when you first meet him in Lobotomy Corporation I think one of the earliest things he does is make a jab at your fashion sense even though it’s universally agreed by new players that his outfit is a disaster (although he dresses like that for fear of contamination and his Trauma!). He’s cold to mostly everyone and is very strict, rules-following kind of guy, and people often see him as emotionless and heartless, coming up with the nickname "The Viper” for him as a result of that! BUT!!! BUT!!!! LISTEN EVEN IF HE’S MEAN. EVEN IF HE’S COLD. HE’S LIKE THIS BECAUSE HE HAS TO BE!!! He has so much unresolved trauma in his past of getting too close with am employee and befriending them and losing them because he wasn’t strict enough on safety regulations and let them off with a pass because they were friends. AND NOW HE’S CLOSED AND WITHDRAWN AND OBSESSIVE OVER SAFETY PROTOCOL BECAUSE HE’S SCARED AND HE REALLY REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIS EMPLOYEES!!! It’s hinted that he doesn’t like the nickname Viper but he accepts it because it makes him out to be the respected person he wants to be!!!! He praises the real AI of the corporation, Angela, for being cold and emotionless(which is ANOTHER bag of repressed trauma worms) and wishes he could feel nothing like her because HE FEELS TOO MUCH!!! I LOVE HIM SO DEARLY MI AMOR!!! And AND in the second game he’s healed a little bit and is still a little mean but the first thing he does THE VERY FIRST THING HE DOES to the protagonist is walk up to him wordlessly and reach up to fix his tie. I’m normal about him. Also he’s short. Short people closer to hell or whatever. IDK he’s purple ok? :3 Even if he loses IT’S A TESTAMENT TO HIS GROWTH I’M PROUD OF YOU YESOD!!!!!!“

Re-reading Lifeboat for the 20th time. God you are the only one who is right about these two this story is too incredible to be real. And the way you write is just so captivating I keep coming back to it. This has consumed my life I hope you’re happy. Ryugoro is real.
I AM happy actually that YOU GET IT. I have so many qualms with how they get written in the actual game (base) and I explode when any of the other ryugoro fics properly portray their relationship the way it should be (at least amicable because ryuji is the kind of guy to meet someone halfway if they have similar ground)
They would also be insanely slowburn (as i hope i have portrayed) as Akechi would be extremely slow/hesitant to open to anybody as he is. yknow. Goro Akechi. But also Ryuji is Ryuji and if there's anything he can do it's worm his way into being someone's best buddy and Akechi really needs that in a narrative where he lives alone, feels alone, and has no perceivable people actually close to him. (I would like to imagine Sae looks out for him somewhat but apparently not according to the game)
It's like. Mindboggling to me that some people don't get that Ryuji is the kind of guy who'd look out for Akechi if he actually knew what was going on with him earlier in the plot. He spends most of the story hating Akechi because he thinks he's an annoying preppie teacher's pet trying to tell on the PT to the cops. But he changes gears after the engine room fight because nobody effing told him what Akechi's deal is and he's not gonna stand by when he's on the other side of a hatch with a gun pointed at him. So why not have that meeting point show up earlier and have them actually develop some sort of relationship while they can have one.
A lot of the fun of writing Lifeboat comes from imagining the what-ifs of certain game events if the two were buddy buddy and my own personal interpretations of how the characters would act if the narrative was more interested in the characters and their motivations and character development over the physical events and what happens. (though there will be a lot more physical events going down soon in the fic) Like. The game prioritizing the shock value of Akechi dying so suddenly over his character arc potentially changing to go somewhere interesting will never not be an incredibly strange decision for them to make to me.
ANYWAY i rambled a lot I am. So glad you guys like it, as much as it's going really slow rn but rest assured I am working on it as much as I can. The next two chapters are gonna be packed so it may be a little long but I hope it's worth the wait and I so appreciate anybody that sticks with it and leaves any comments on it. I do read them and they're incredibly motivating and analytical of details I work very hard on adding in. Thank you for the ask and thank you for your support <3

I saw the devil (in me) - chapter 7
ao3 I chapter 1 I chapter 2 I chapter 3 I chapter 4 I chapter 5 I chapter 6
To Takemura’s surprise, it didn’t take much convincing to get Viktor to come with him to see the netrunner. At first, the ripperdoc was hesitant, gently suggesting that Takemura should just wait for his hand to heal, there was no need to jump into netrunning and that he’s free to stay at the ripperdoc’s place for as long as he needs to, but something about the other man’s tone made him yield and here they were, a few days later, walking down the slippery stairs on the edges of Charter Hill. 
The temperature has risen just enough for the ice encasing the steps to melt, making the simple ordeal of walking down that much riskier, but eventually, they managed without slipping. Viktor had already closed the clinic for the night and just as Takemura had before, they’ve decided to just walk the distance between Misty’s shop and Akiko’s basement. Despite the foul weather, Takemura found the experience rather enjoyable, the way Viktor shared his anecdotes and took in Takemura’s comments. He had to admit, he never knew small talk could be this easy. Takemura would by no means call himself awkward, taking great pride in being able to navigate a wide array of social settings, but the point of such conversations often escaped him; instead, he preferred to get straight to the point, without wasting time on chatter devoid of any clear purpose. With Viktor, it was different, he’d go as far as to say that the meaningless exchange felt almost natural - nothing needed to be reviewed, decided, or discussed, leaving them with an opportunity to just enjoy each other’s presence.
Takemura pushed the heavy door open, leading the way as they both walked into the familiar, dark corridor. Leaving muddy footsteps on the concrete floor, they walked further into the building, and eventually, they reached the bigger room. Takemura noticed that Akiko was no longer busy tinkering with her hardware, but sitting in front of one of the many monitors, face furrowed in concentration as she typed away at the keyboard. She lifted her eyes and waved at Takemura, beckoning him to come in before she got up, typing in some last commands before she finally allowed her hands to get away from the keyboard and started walking up towards Takemura to properly greet her client. Suddenly, without an apparent reason, Akiko stopped halfway, her smile dropping almost immediately.
Perplexed, Takemura turned his head just in time to see Viktor freeze. The ripperdoc was staring at the woman as if he saw a ghost, throat jumping as he swallowed heavily.
“Viktor.” she spat out his name through gritted teeth like it was some kind of a curse, her brows furrowed in a clear expression of disgust.
“Akiko,” he echoed, still standing at the door, seemingly not daring to step inside the basement. Takemura couldn’t quite make out his eyes from behind the tinted shades, but the man’s voice told him he wasn’t trying to match the amount of venom Akiko managed to put in a single word. Quite the opposite, Viktor’s tone was almost apprehensive, gone was his usual steady confidence he carried himself with on their way here, The silence that fell on the netrunner’s workshop was almost palatable, so Takemura opened his mouth to say something, anything to break it, but Akiko was faster.
“You got some nerve, showin’ up here.”
“Listen, I-” before Viktor could finish, the woman turned her piercing gaze to Takemura.
“I tell you to bring in someone you trust and that’s who you go for?” Akiko scoffed. “Bold choice.”
Takemura had to admit, he was surprised by her reaction to the other man’s presence but didn’t let it reach his face. A sudden irritation swelled up in his chest upon hearing her words and he didn’t even think before words started escaping his mouth:
“Nevertheless, I stand by it.” Takemura replied, his tone colder than intended. “He saved my life, more than once. If that isn’t enough, you still owe me. I do not think there is much room for discussion here.”
“Goro, I don’t think this is necessary.” Viktor’s voice came from behind him.
“I happen to think it is.” the other man replied, eying the netrunner, his silver optics glistering. Akiko was still standing with her arms crossed over her chest, a stern expression on her face. She refused to break eye contact, not allowing herself to be beaten in this small, meaningless game of wills, but eventually, let out a sigh.
“Fine.” she finally said. “ but afterward, you’ll never bring him here again. Wear this,” she tossed a netrunning suit at him. “and get in the damn chair.”
                                                              ***
“So what, you fry his brain? With no active cyberware, his output capacity for netrunning is-”
“Perfectly fine for a short dive like that.” she snarled, firing up one of the monitors.
“So you’ve done this before?” mockery rang in Viktor’s voice, a tone so unfitting to him it made Takemura cringe.
“There is always a risk of-” this time, Akiko was on the defensive, angrily smashing her fingers on the interface, not even looking away from the screen as she spoke.
“Then how about, for once, you actually-” Viktor started, but Takemura swiftly cut him off mid-sentence.
“Enough! Do not talk about me like I am not here. I do not know what it is between you two, but I would appreciate it if you could put it aside, just for a second.”
They both looked at him surprised, but dropped the banter, limiting themselves to exchanging glares and singular words as each set up their respective equipment. After a few more minutes, Akiko hopped onto the other chair, adjusting a few parameters on the screen above it before finally pushing it aside and plugging her personal link into the port.
“Let’s get this over with.” with that, her eyes rolled back into her skull, whites glistering. Takemura could see a soft glow that her eyelids didn’t manage to block and looked over to Viktor, netrunning cord in hand.
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” the ripper said, pushing up the glasses with his free hand.
“You were not this hesitant when I first asked.” Takemura pointed out.
“I know, but-” Viktor started, but just shook his hand. “anyway, you’ve made your decision, I don’t really have a say beyond giving you advice.”
“Is it medical advice or a friendly one?”
“Between you and me, a bit of both,” Viktor said, but seeing the other man’s expression, he just handed him the cord. Takemura plugged it in without a word and allowed himself to lay back, resting his head on the leather headboard.
For a brief second, his vision glitched. Takemura turned his head to look at Viktor once more, but before he could say anything else, the image started to blur and then bleed over, warping the room into an unrecognizable array of colors and shapes before that, too, was replaced by pitch darkness. Takemura felt as if the soft leather of the chair he was lying on had melted away, replaced by pure nothingness as he felt himself fall, gaining momentum with each passing millisecond. He tried moving his hands, just to see if he could, if not to stop the fall, but before he managed to force his limbs to move, it came to an abrupt stop. When he looked down, the floor he was standing on lighted up with soft, blue light with each step he took. Takemura turned his head to look around, the illuminated structures rising right in front of his eyes. He could see them shifting, thousands of lines of code wriggling like a can of worms, a perfect military unit, moving into position.
When it finally settled, he wasn’t sure he was seeing it right.
The stairs he had been standing on were bare, no handle or barrier to stop an eventual fall. Looking behind his shoulder in search of Akiko, Takemura started walking up, passing the rigid structures of scaffolding around the construction site until finally, he reached a rooftop. Before he had a chance to take in his surroundings, his eyes landed on a figure standing on the edge, the red strings of code of her silhouette contrasting sharply with the blues and blacks surrounding them. The woman had her arms crossed over her chest and she was casually leaning on the railing. Had they been in a different place, Takemura would say she was admiring the sunset, but since there was nothing of this sort to speak of in this bottomless pit of data, only darkness beneath them, it was only a brief thought. He walked in closer, his footsteps echoing on nothing. With every step he took, he felt his stomach sink further as the women’s silhouette materialized in more and more detail. Her short, frizzy hair stood out in every possible direction, strands moving slightly with the nonexistent wind.
“V?” his voice came out coarse, but the syllable carried through the empty space between them. The woman stirred but did not turn, eyes fixed on something far in the horizon, something only she could see. He took a few more steps forward, closing the distance between them, and stood next to her, putting his arms on the railing. The area beneath them was no longer empty, the second he laid his eyes on the digital landscape, data started pouring together to form shapes, an intricate composition of buildings. It was only a draft of the real thing, devoid of any real detail, but it was more than enough. They were looking at a shadow of Arasaka Industrial Park.
Takemura turned his head to V, or rather to whatever digital footprint of her remained. She was still not acknowledging his presence, but as she stared far into the complex beneath them or at the sunset which beauty he could not see, she was smiling.
“Takemura.” it came from somewhere behind him. He turned, startled, and saw Akiko approaching him from the other side of the platform. When he looked back to where V was standing, he saw she was no longer there. A fleeting memory.
“Why are we here?” he asked, voice echoing against the nonexistent walls.
“It highly depends on what is that ‘here’ you’re speaking of.” Akiko raised her eyebrows, though something in her expression told him she knew perfectly well what he had in mind.
“So it looks different to you?”
“Yeah. What you’re seeing is just your brain’s attempt to visualize the plethora of data going through it. It fishes for a familiar place to ease the neural strain. Now come on, let’s go get what we came here for, no need to linger.”
                                                               ***
His vision still hadn't cleared by the time he and Viktor gathered up to leave, a slightly blurry notification popping up on his interface informing him of an incoming transaction. He accepted with a flicker of the eye and watched as his account balance quadrupled with the money he and Akiko recovered. It should be just enough to get him back on his feet, at least until he figures out what to do next, but first things first, he had to pay Viktor back.
“And Takemura?” Akiko shouted behind him right as they were about to leave. “We’re even.”
They walked back to Viktor’s apartment in complete silence, snow creaking beneath their boots as they turned each corner, both lost deep in their own thoughts. By the time they reached the megablock, it was well past midnight, but it didn’t mean the social hubs of the building were any more empty. They passed through them quickly and eventually found themselves back in Viktor’s place, shedding off their coats and throwing them over the desk’s chair almost in unison.
It was Viktor who finally broke the silence.
“Let me rewrap that for you.” Viktor gestured toward the other man’s arm. “Afterwards, we can sit down and talk, maybe crack a beer or two open. Reckon it’ll do both of us some good” Takemura nodded and watched the ripperdoc walk away from the table towards the bathroom. Takemura could hear the rattling of medical supplies as Viktor gathered everything he needed from a small cabinet above the sink. Still intrigued by whatever went down between Viktor and Akiko back in her lair, Takemura took a seat at the counter, quickly unbuttoning the cuffs and rolling the shirt’s sleeve up to reveal the bandaged arm. He didn’t have much time to ponder before Viktor finally emerged and put the supplies on the counter in front of them before hopping onto the chair himself.
There were more cuts than he remembered, places where Viktor went in with a scalpel to replace some of his ruined cyberware. The cuts were still angry red, but in much better condition than they had the right to be after such a short time, neat stitching pulling the broken skin together. Takemura knew they’re going to scar, but at the very least he still had an arm. He watched silently as Viktor worked, cleaning the wounds with an antiseptic before putting fresh gauze over them.
There was something about Viktor that made Takemura want to lean into the touch. He was used to doctors, having been injured countless times in the course of his service to the Arasakas, but there was a jarring difference between the way the ripperdoc was looking over the cuts, none of the impersonal, clinical touch that Takemura was accustomed to. He took a deep breath in, dismissing the thought and pushing it as far down his consciousness as it’d go. It was not the time for such indulgences.
“I apologize,” Takemura finally said. “Perhaps I should not have acted this aggressively. I should not have intervened between you two to reach my own goal, since it was clearly a personal matter.”
“Nah, it’s fine. I’m glad you spoke up before we had a chance to jump to each others' throats,” the ripperdoc said, not lifting his gaze, still fixed on the other man’s arm. “I guess I owe you an explanation.”
“I have to admit I am curious,” Takemura said, this time choosing his words carefully. “but you do not owe me anything. If you prefer to keep this a private matter, it is fine. I would not hold that against you.”
“Don’t worry,” Viktor replied, pinning the fresh bandage in place. “I have to warn you, though. It’s a long one, so we might as well move to the couch. Let me grab some beer from the fridge.” and with that, he hopped off the chair. Takemura followed and settled on the sofa, Viktor soon joining him and handing him a bottle before sitting down.
“By the 60s, my boxing career was coming to an end. You see, cyberware in sports wasn't strictly regulated until not even a decade ago and more than a few lads took advantage. New guys came in, with implants padding their brains, and with how expensive those things used to be back then, there was no way I could afford even the smallest piece of cyberware. Soon enough, I found myself patching the guys on ringside more often than throwing punches and that’s when someone from Trauma noticed me. You have to understand that for a guy from Heywood, this was an opportunity of a lifetime. Most of the guys there are ex-military, so I was an odd one, but I didn’t allow myself to lag behind. Most of the time I didn’t feel like socializing, but I brought enough practical skills to the table that the others respected me.
A few months into the program, they added another guy to our unit. His name was Takeshi and he moved to Night City shortly before that, from the Kyoto branch of Trauma. Still had a few months of basic training to do, so they placed him with us. Takeshi was off to a rough start, dropped into our group a few months in, everyone already a part of their own little clique. Some of them didn’t take too kindly to a newcomer and I can’t blame them, considering the way Trauma medics are trained to work like one organism. It takes trust to build this level of coordination, so Takeshi had a lot to prove” Viktor paused, taking a sip from the bottle. “and let me tell you, he delivered.”
“That is him in the photo, yes?” Takemura asked, gesturing toward the small collection of pictures to their right. Viktor nodded.
“I never quite dropped boxing, it was an excellent way to stay in shape for a job like that, so I’d always stay behind in the gym to practice after the place emptied in the evenings. One night, Takeshi stayed behind too, watching me for a good while. I didn’t make anything of it, figuring he’ll eventually get bored and leave, but instead he asked me for a sparring.” Viktor chuckled at the memory. “my first thought was that he was joking. The guy was way smaller than me and the insinuation that he’d be able to take me on was laughable and that’s what I did. Presumptuous, I know.” he added, noticing Takemura’s expression. “but I didn’t know any better back then. I thought we’d be done in seconds.”
“And were you?” Takemura asked, taking a sip from his own bottle. The beer had a rich, somewhat spicy taste that lingered after. He could feel his lips smirking against the cold glass, already knowing where Viktor’s story was going.
“Oh, we were. With me sprawled on the ground.” the ripperdoc let out a short laugh. “As you see, I made the mistake of underappreciating him. After that, we’d often stay behind together practicing. Soon enough, we started to meet outside of it too, often spending weekends going from bar to bar. As it turned out, he wasn’t the quiet guy I took him for, turning out to be quite chatty. He’d tell me all about his life back in Kyoto, not to mention he was quite opinionated about Night City, especially the local food, just as you are.” Takemura opened his mouth to ask how Viktor could possibly know that, but then it hit him. V must’ve told him all about the time they spent together.
“Doing a gig for Trauma was the fastest way for him to get a medical license and stay in the US for good, but he was probably the least trigger happy person I’ve ever known. Would make a great hospital doctor, with his bedside manner, but bureaucracy made it impossible for him to just hop positions like that. Months went by and we graduated, by dumb luck ending up in the same unit. Two years down the line and he comes to me, the stupidest grin on his face, telling me he met a girl.”
“Akiko?”
“Yeah. She was starting at Arasaka back then, climbing her way up the information security department. She never really liked me, but they hit it right off, another two years pass and he invites me to their wedding, even asked me to be his best man. Best party I’ve ever been to. It all seemed to be working out for us, he was happily married and we both landed great jobs. That is, before corporate started rubbing their hands all over it.”
“Isn’t Trauma a private corporation in and on itself?
“It is, but bear with me. When you’re a regular armed medic, you don’t really feel all the pressure coming from above, but the higher up you go, the more entangled you get. I’m sure you know what I mean.
“You might say so.”
“Then I’m sure you know, most likely better than anyone else, that it’s just a matter of time before those things start to get complicated. But that’s a whole different story, a less happy one, but it explains why Akiko reacted the way she did when she saw me this evening.” Viktor said, leaning back on the sofa and taking another swing from the bottle. “but I guess neither of us has anywhere else to be right now.”
“I believe so,” Takemura replied, placing his beer on the small coffee table in front of them.
“Alright then. You know, I’m not superstitious, but that day, I knew something bad would happen. I just didn’t think it'd be like this.”

Forgetting to buy more SP patches before taking on the final boss was probably a mistake.
Forgetting to sell the items I can’t take into NG+ for cash that I can take into NG+ was probably a mistake.
Forgetting to get Arsene out of Lockdown so that I can record his awesome new stats for NG+ was probably a mistake.
In my defense, I was really excited. I wonder if the game will let me make a side trip while I’m out...buying flowers. Because that is what it has come to.
Buying flowers.
Shinya is a terrible brat and wasn’t in Akihabara at ALL until the day before the deadline. Thanks, Shinya. There goes my max confidants. Blugh. At least I got some other things done. Got the award for the maid cafe, so I don’t have to go back except once to open the Twins field trip. I still suck at batting even with third eye. But I am a champ at fishing, it only took me like five trips to the fishing pond to catch the Guardian! I could have done it in less if I’d figured out how to manage my bait properly sooner.
Tumblr media
Smile, Akira, we’re awesome! ...still not even halfway to enough fish points for the award, though. :/
I am also awesome at the crane game in Akihabara, and by that I mean I am persistent and have enough yen that it doesn’t matter how many tries it takes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ryuji truly knows the way to my heart. <3 I missed two episodes of Featherman; one I forgot to check the TV, and the other I was laughing so hard at the title that I forgot to write it down. But I know where they are, so it’s something else for NG+. ^_^
So I romanced Sumire, and I’m...slightly off-put. Only slightly. Not because of her, but once again, because of the writing. Sumire is cute, but the game is singling her out as “special” again.
She is the only one who confesses to you, and you explicitly have the option to turn her down, rather than the implications of a confession that you can shoot down indirectly (Haru’s, Makoto’s, Futaba’s), or the absolute fucking galaxy-brain leap of logic that is Ann’s dialogue choices. X’D
Tumblr media
If you ignore that, though, they’re stupidly cute. Akira’s a little shit, as usual. Sumire asks you to “look at her”, based on her whole confidant thing of realizing that having someone you care about watching you makes you want to do better.
And so Akira looks.
Tumblr media
And looks closer.
Tumblr media
Dorks. XDDD
Tumblr media
They’re sweet. Not my favorite romance route; that still goes to Haru. I think in the end I still prefer Akira adding another member to his army of younger siblings. He’s gotta be better than Yu. XDDD
So I got Kasumi’s rank 10 and literally the next day was February 2nd, and I spent the afternoon getting her third-tier persona. So I didn’t even get to see...Vanadis? in battle. Vanadis matches a little too well to Arsene for my tastes, and Ella is pretty, but I’m not sure how I feel about it looking kind of bride-ish when Maruki’s running around in a wedding tux.
Tumblr media
.
Anyway...what do we do the night before the meeting that will decide everything?
We make curry and we pretend everything isn’t about to go to hell.
Tumblr media
.
So, Maruki. Let’s chat.
Tumblr media
Does no one die in your world? Or move away? What if someone’s dream is to move abroad, and someone else’s dream is for that person to stay with them forever? If what we saw in your Palace is any indication, both of them would be tortured into accepting new dreams where they wouldn’t hurt each other. Dreams that you deemed acceptable. And that’s why you’re wrong.
Tumblr media
So you’re giving up your happiness to make sure everyone else is happy? Why can’t you just use your powers to make her remember you, without the trauma? Are you not all-powerful?
Or are you running away from the person that reminds you how helpless you used to be? You’re not moving on, you’re dwelling, and using it as an excuse to be terrible. For all of your kindness, you know Akira is a threat. And benevolent or not, you’re being manipulative. You’re using Goro against him. You’re hoping that he makes the decision you didn’t, and chooses the person he cares about over the reality he wants.
Tumblr media
Every time he says something like this, I feel exactly the way he says he didn’t want me to. Newsflash, asshole, that’s exactly what it seems like. If we break your reality, you’re heavily implying he won’t be here afterwards. And you’re gambling that it will be too much pain for Akira to bear, because you know how important they are to each other.
Goro, meanwhile, is both perfectly determined and perfectly stupid.
“Don’t tell me you think dangling my life before us is going to have any impact on our decision.”
Goro. Honey. Do you really think he cares so little that he wouldn’t hesitate for just a moment?
Akira practically throws the calling card at Maruki before he leaves, which I think sums up his feelings pretty well.
Tumblr media
I appreciate that Morgana understands that this is something between them.
Goro doesn’t want to be controlled or manipulated ever again. Which... I get it. He’s never had a chance to have full control of his own life. But that doesn’t mean Akira isn’t going to be upset by the idea of him dying. Again.
Tumblr media
Two out of three dialogue options are basically “hang on one fucking second,  your life matters to me.”
“Don’t oversimplify this.”
“Oh, but it IS simple. Do you think I’d be happy with this? Being shown mercy now of all times? I don’t want to be pitied-- this isn’t something I’m debating with you! Your indecisiveness is essentially a betrayal of my wishes.”
It’s not pity, you stubborn, idiot boy. ...and I hate that you see it as a betrayal.
Maruki is...very confident. And very kind. And part of the reason he upsets me is because he isn’t wrong, in many cases. But he uses that to justify imposing his will on everyone.
And being kind doesn’t mean that you are free from sin. You can be kind and still be manipulative. And selfish. In the end, that’s what separates him and Akira. Akira, despite all of his hesitation, refuses to be selfish. Even when he has every right to be. He will not hurt someone else to prevent himself from being hurt.
He will not hurt Goro by refusing to fight Maruki, even if it will rip his own heart to pieces.
Tumblr media
Oh, I like you. At first glance, the silhouette was very similar to one of Mordred’s original pieces of concept art, though, and I was ready to Yell before I looked closer. XD
And so, at 11:30pm, having completely forgotten the several things I needed to have done before the meeting with Maruki, we head in to steal the Treasure.
This man needs to stop. How dare he know how much I love Cool Stairs?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I find it very concerning that the core of Eden is a writhing mess of tentacles. The metaphorical worm in the apple? X’D We were so close to getting Nyarlathotep, but Azathoth is suitably intimidating. And I appreciate that he’s using the same concepts as the Thieves: his will to rebel against what he sees as an unfair reality, and removing his mask to summon his distorted persona. Thanks for validating all of my headcanon meta about Adachi and Palaces all in one go.
But...
I can’t do this. What the fuck are you wearing?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At least Azathoth is cool.
Tumblr media
Somehow I managed to bring exactly the right team to get consistent four-person baton passes for the whole first round. That one was about half an hour.
...the second round was an hour and fifteen minutes because holy shit this thing was a tank and had entirely too many arms and really needed to stop healing.
Tumblr media
The torch is very pretty, at least.
And then before we can completely book it out of there, he steals the torch back and literally forces his second awakening so he can keep going. And at that point...what is he even hoping to accomplish? What is he going to do? Are you really willing to kill us to maintain this illusion?
The answer is apparently yes because it was a surprisingly poetic battle as each teammate in turn got a chance to fling themselves in the way and stop it from crushing Joker to death with it’s big giant hand.
And THEN he goes even further and validates some canon meta and me all at once by fusing with his own persona in a continuing last-ditch effort to... I really think he’s trying to kill us. I think he’s that far gone. Or at least his persona is. Because after the fusion, it’s specifically called “Adam Kadmon”, not Maruki. The persona is in control. It’s canon that if you try to summon something stronger than you, it can overtake and possess you. I know Maruki seemed to willingly give up control, but it’s also possible that forcing his second awakening like that left him with a persona that was entirely too strong for him.
(Nevermind that him being that strong in the first place is kind of ridiculous. That’s a discussion for after the final credits. I’m just hyped that someone fusing with their persona was a thing that actually happened!)
Tumblr media
He’s so big. Where’s Satanael so I can fuse with him and we can have a megazord fight in Collapsing Ideal Tokyo? XD
The kids up the Holy Shit Quotient by a mile by catching the giant fist all together so that Joker can deal the final blow.
And what a final blow it is.
Tumblr media
I really like this, because I don’t know if it was deliberate, but I read it as a callback to Daybreakers. Which came out before the game, iirc, so the first real piece of content. It’s just on a bigger, grander scale.
Everything comes full-circle in the end.
Tumblr media
I really like the Mona helicopter. XD I just wish it was a little bigger, because poor Goro squished into the bottom. And poor Akira not managing to make it into the helicopter.
And this asshole WILL NOT STAY DOWN.
What is the point of punching it out on top of the collapsing Palace? Are you trying to kill us both? Do you just want to keep going until neither of us can stand? Dude.
And of course Akira won’t let him die. I think the upsetting thing about this, though, is really that you don’t get the chance to say a proper goodbye to Goro. Or anyone, really, but mostly Goro. The Palace crumbles, Akira wakes up in jail, the Thieves wake up the next morning after fighting all night, and Goro is...gone.
At least the Thieves seem properly sad this time. Even if it’s only for one scene.
Lavenza calls it “ironic” that “your wish for other’s happiness prevailed over your own.” I just call it unfair. Once again, hasn’t he done enough? At least he was only technically in jail for nine days from his perspective, but that must have been a whiplash of an adjustment.
Out of jail, Sojiro acknowledges he was Terrible at the beginning of the year, it’s 2:30am, time to do Valentines and then go to bed before the final walkaround.
And then Valentines passes. I spent it with Sumire. They’re cute.
And then it was February 15th and all the rest of the girls gave me chocolate?? It was just a constant ambush of being given chocolate all day?
And then it was March 3rd, and the Thieves are all splitting up and moving away? Are we sure this isn’t Scramble’s timeline? I get it, narratively, they’re taking the opportunities to move forward that Maruki’s reality would have denied them, but it still hurts.
And then it was March 13th and I still can’t save and now it’s 3am and apparently we get to play out White Day and Sojiro is giving me advice for the perfect date because captain idiot here forgot to plan anything and what heckin’ restaurant is getting this flustered that just mentioning Sojiro’s name is enough to get a table when they’re fully booked and---
Now it’s the 14th and I have to go buy flowers for my dinner date and I have finally been given control and saved and I am free.
Now next time I play I have to see if I can go sell my leftover items, because I’ve got a couple-hundred-thousand yen worth, and also rescue Arsene from prison. X’D
More thoughts on Maruki and everything after I see the ending, most likely.

I’m curious how long you’ve played Genshin for? And if you will write anything for it? Also what characters do you have :) are you going to pull for Ayato?
hi anon! thanks for the ask :3
I started playing when Xiao's banner first came out so I started February 2021. I couldn't stop playing it for weeks until I got to Liyue. I was also pretty bad at it... I didn't know how supports worked back then. I was also terrified of the spiral abyss.
I don't have any plans to write anything for Genshin. originally I was thinking of writing something for Childe because I did his story quest and was like omg this guy is <33 but no plans came out and instead I began writing metamorphosis for Persona 5 (but that's a different can of worms so I'll stop there).
I have all the 4 star characters except Goro. I have all 5 star characters except Shenhe, Itto, Kazuha, Albedo and Klee. I wanted Albedo so much but lost 50/50 (as usual). I was a Keqing main, then I became a Yanfei main, now I'm a Yoimiya main.
I'm actually not sure if I will pull for Ayato, partially because I heard Kazuha rerun is coming and I want him badly. I also usually like checking out their kits to see if they fit my team.

I’m working on various posts:
The romantic relationships in 5Ds and GX— meaning characters who like one another regardless of whether it’s returned and are consistently reoccurring. I have a few hang ups with most of them, and I’ve always wanted to talk about them. Hoping that it’s not misunderstood as me taking shots at anyone. I just wanna air my grievances with a lot of the writing as I analyze them all.
Kaiba’s strange relationship with Kisara and the BEWD. Again, I have some problems with the writing and really want to discuss these.
Writing decisions made when crafting Kaiba and Atem’s relationship that lend to different takes on their dynamic.
Possibly, a post on the writing of different female leads in the franchise and how Kotori is the most disappointing one thanks to Yoshida while the lead Sevens girl (I’ve forgotten her name already lord help me) has my least favorite design. (Can’t comment on writing as I haven’t watched Sevens). Also, definitely stuff about how often people bash Anzu or use her for terrible NSFW.
Maybe more Kingdom Hearts posts since this blog isn’t just for YGO.
And a post about various Kaiba fans who vary in toxicity, including homophobes who project onto him and abuse Kisara’s character.

Do you ever just hnnhh wanna add things to a post you made? Considering Duel Links already had the sharkbaity scene with Shark acting like it’s a crime for Yuma to smile and be happy, I wonder what else Duel Links will have that’s pretty gay. It could really live up to the Zexal anime in that degree.
On a different note, Shark is pretty much written as a tsundere. Male tsunderes are rare, and Shark basically fits the notes to be one.
While he isn’t cartoonishly mean to Yuma purely from liking him, he does treat him a particular way in his rudeness. He wants to be his friend, but pushes him away quite a bit (as he believes he’s too dangerous for Yuma’s safety).
When presented with others gushing over or simply praising Yuma (like the teacher does when comparing him to the sun), Shark maintains his cool and seemingly careless facade. Only to then in private, show a soft side and fondly think or speak of Yuma. Rio has said he talks about the other boy all the time. He also doesn’t express this fondness so directly until the near end of the series where he gushes to Yuma in the middle of a duel.
In said duel, he uses a line like “worming your(read:Yuma’s) way into everyone’s hearts.”
When Yuma expresses joy and wants to be affectionate towards him for his overt moments of kindness, Shark gets aggressive, denies it, will even curse at him, and even blushes (like in Duel Links).
He constantly turns away from Yuma when deep down, he deeply desires to protect the boy as clearly evidenced multiple times in the show.
More than once, Shark can be seen not-so-subtly staring at Yuma from a distance. One time it’s focused on by the camera. The next, he’s sat in the background, watching the other very closely. It almost feels like a different display of his literal watchfulness.
He puts up a huge tough guy act that’s not even how he’s always been. Underneath it, he’s got a certain softness and need to protect anyone he truly cares about.

RGG: Majima and Toxic Masculinity
Tumblr media
It's really not like the writers themselves try desperately hard to force the audience to see Majima Goro as a totally heterosexual and completely straight acting man. However, some circles of the audience haven't gotten the memo and will harshly defend the honor of a man who's not real. As much as I've easily come across those that are accepting and fans that are queer themselves, I've also crossed paths with loud bi/homophobes who try to attack or pester those that don't see him the same way they do. In truth, I've never seen such a large concentration of people who are starkly against the notion that a fictional character could be bisexual or gay. (With a concerning amount of people who seem to outright refuse to believe bisexuality is even a viable orientation. He must be one or the other). And as I stated at the beginning, the writers aren't giving him a new girl every game. He's had less romantic interests of the opposite sex than Kiryu- a very un-horny man who's had at least four(or five) if you want to include his place in spinoff games Kenzan and Ishin.
It's nothing new to any fandom (and it's nothing new for me to bring it up), but it can still be upsetting and frustrating to watch bigoted people parade around a specific character in a series you enjoy. All while claiming they know them better than anyone else. I go through this with Sora from Kingdom Hearts who's another character that isn't exactly the poster child for traditional masculinity, and other characters of that specific variety.

So, there’s normally an obligatory scene of the protag holding the rival after they lost a particularly grueling duel (or vice versa or something similar with two other characters instead). In Zexal, Yuma does it to Kaito if I’m not mistaken, but with Shark...?
Tumblr media
There’s this scene after Yuma is presumably trying to hug him after Shark is caught doing something nice and caring for him. But Ryoga is trying to literally run away from it. Though questions have been raised about why he’s only holding Yuma’s face back.
And then there’s another scene after Shark suffers a defeat. Yuma is running towards him, and for some reason Shark just dramatically turns over, getting on all fours to totally hide his face.
I just. What. Shark what are you trying to do. I have so many questions about both moments.

It’s both amazing (in a non-positive way) and pretty sad what the Kingdom Hearts and YGO fandoms have in common with each other.
There’s one side of both fandoms teeming with homophobes ready to leave hateful comments on gay content of any sort.
Tumblr media
This was on an image of a gay pairing. I included the first one since I view it as an unnecessary statement to make, especially when the pairing they bring up hasn’t actually been canonized. The second one does the same thing. The bottom two are not only disgusting for the first portion of what they said, but also because they dare to tack on a compliment. It’s incredibly backhanded. “I find the content horrific, but it’s so pretty lol.” Don’t do things like this. Another common comment is “This ruined my childhood.”
