I'm so glad this card exists now.

[intomybubble]

I’m so late on this but I just remembered to check for the music from some of the special (?) unit song releases and oooh my god thank youu?? theyre so good jfc

Edit: I wholeheartedly love the characters and their relationships with each other in this series, just drown me in it.

I’m still hoping for a Sakyo and Azami song pls. Also has their been anything on Azuma’s brother? I remember in one of the event stories they sorta hint the possibility he’s still alive?

i don't know who's sitting on the throne but i know it's not july

[7-oh-ta1]

Playing with the cast of a3!botw au again.... bec I'm thinking abt giving myself more breathing room with it. For example, Urbosa -> Omi is a clear distinction bec they play very similar roles, so I very cleanly placed Omi in her character slot. But I mean... just because he's taking her role doesn't necessarily mean he has to be HER, ykwm? He could still be the maternal figure to the team while being idk... a friggin Goron, right? A silly round guy? A chance to maybe treat the silly rock guys a little more seriously? But they're so silly shaped it's hard to not put a very lighthearted character in that role ;-; Is this making ANY sense....

[A3!] ★ Main Story | Act 15 - Painful RE:bake | Episode 3 - Remnants of a Fake

Strongest in West Tokyo. Crazy Wolf ✕ Crazy Fox

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Ex-Wolf Member A: This chicken is the best, Zen-san!

Zen: Glad ya think so.

Omi: I’m the one who made this quiche over here.

Ex-Wolf Member B: It’s real good!

Ex-Wolf Member C: Can I get some of this to go? My wife’s always naggin’ me sayin’ she’s the only one who gets it…

Omi: Then I’ll pack some up later for you to take home.

Ex-Wolf Member C: Thanks!

Ryo: …

Omi: Ryo, want something to drink?

Ryo: …

Omi: Ryo?

Ryo: Ah, my bad!

Omi: Something wrong?

Ryo: …I don’t wanna ruin their fun right now, so I’ll tell you later.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Ex-Wolf Member A: Haaah~, I’m so stuffed I feel like I’m about to explode.

Ex-Wolf Member B: Thanks for the food!

Ex-Wolf Member C: I’ve been really lookin’ forward to the days when Wolf gets back together lately.

Ex-Wolf Member A: Nah, that’s so real.

Ryo: …Guys, can I tell you something?

Ex-Wolf Member B: What’s up?

Ryo: …Actually, I heard about something that kinda grabbed my attention.

Omi: Is this what you were thinking about earlier?

Ryo: Yeah.

Ryo: One of the younger guys on the scene told me that there’s been some brat acting violent around here lately that’s been claiming to be part of “Wolf”.

Ryo: This younger guy had heard about “Wolf” from me, so he asked if he was our junior or something…

Ex-Wolf Member C: Ain’t it possible he’s just usin’ our team name by accident or somethin’?

Ex-Wolf Member A: That’s not that weird of a thing.

Ryo: That ain’t it. Apparently, he’s been saying he’s “Nachi” of “Wolf”.

Omi: --.

Ex-Wolf Member A: Seriously…?

Ex-Wolf Member B: --You gotta be kidding me. He’s mockin’ us! Even if it’s just some kinda childish prank, there’s just some things you can’t do!

Ex-Wolf Member C: How dare this kid go and take Nachi-san’s name!? We’ve gotta find him and shut this shit down!

Ex-Wolf Member A: This is unforgivable!

Omi: Ryo, were you able to ask for any more details about this fake?

Ryo: Apparently, sometimes he fights alone, but sometimes he’s got buddies with him.

Ryo: They only thing common thing is that he says he’s a remnant of “Wolf” and then walks away…

Ex-Wolf Member D: Damn brat’s full of shit.

Ex-Wolf Member E: He probably heard the legend about “Wolf” being the strongest in West Tokyo, and started saying that just for the hell of it.

Ex-Wolf Member A: It ain’t a joke. He shouldn’t be fuckin’ with us like that!

Ex-Wolf Member B: We’ve gotta teach that fuckin’ brat a lesson--.

Ex-Wolf Member C: Yeah, yeah!

Omi: Wait. I’ll see what I can find out using my connections. Everyone just hold off doing anything for now.

Ex-Wolf Member A: Omi-san…

Ex-Wolf Member B: Gotcha.

Ex-Wolf Member C: But let us know if ya need anything!

Ryo: I’ll try and gather some more information too.

Omi: Sounds good.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

*Dishes being washed*

Omi: …

Zen: …About that fake you mentioned before.

Zen: I’ve got a dancer who seems to know a lot about the street delinquents. They’re reformed now, but they used to be a bit of a troublemaker not too long ago.

Zen: You want me to have them check it out?

Omi: You heard all that?

Zen: I was a bit curious.

Omi: Sorry for involving you, but… That’d be a huge help.

Zen: It ain’t a problem. You said he was callin’ himself “his” name, didn’t you?

Omi: --Yeah.

Omi: Just what kinda person would be pretending to be Nachi? And for what reason…?

Zen: No clue. But if the kid’s spendin’ all his time gettin’ into stupid fights, he’s probably frustrated in some way.

Zen: …I get how kids like him feel, so I just wanted to say somethin’.

Omi: Thank you so much.

Zen: Some of Gentiana’s shows incorporate sword fights into them. An ex-punk with a strong fightin’ spirit can immediately become somethin’ useful.

Zen: The guy I just mentioned is proof of that. They could prolly inadvertently blend in with the remnants of “Wolf”.

Zen: It ain’t someone else’s problem, y’know.

Zen: --That reminds me, we recently got a formal practice space for show dancers.

Zen: I was havin’ the live-in dancers clear off tables in the hall and lay out mats for them to practice on, but…

Zen: It was too cramped to let them practice serious tumblin’ ‘n action. So we finally took the plunge ‘n built a place to practice with all the stuff we needed.

Omi: That’s quite a bold move.

Zen: We’ve been gettin’ plenty of customers. It’s thanks to that.

Zen: Just let me know if any of the newborn group wants to use it for action-specific rehearsals or somethin’.

Zen: I’ll lend it to you whenever it’s available. Tell your director about it.

Omi: Thank you so much.

Omi: (...It really is amazing how nice the first-gen people are. I guess it’s also his way of encouraging us about the New Fleur Award.)

Omi: (I’m also concerned about the fake Wolf thing, but… First and foremost, I’ve got to make sure “Picaresque Returns” is a success.)

top 5 ships?

i'm gonna say it's a3 ships just bc it's gonna be more difficult if i start listing all the fandoms i care about snxjnznxz

hehe guess (ban///tai and all of the derivatives and au's and everything i think i'm insane)

seh//hyo

tai//yuki

aza///kyu (bonus points if they're qpp's bc there's something wrong with me)

i know all of them are aki but listen- there's something wrong with me

omi//nachi

edit: i can't believe i forgot ju//tai but to be fair i didnt wanna put so many taichi ships in here; i'd put it on par with seh//hyo

as an apology, there's top five of my fave a3 ships that aren't related to aki charas

azu//homa

muku//yuki

chika//ita//cito

kazu//tsuzu

kazu//misu

i have so many thoughts on all of these feel free to ask me stuff about them or any other ships i havent listed bc i just like talking

[xxsdelphia]

top 5 unpopular a3 headcanons

wait a minute okay so i was writing these but then they turned into hot takes abt fandom i’ll add them under the read more

sakyo is straight HOOO he has the trans boy swag but like. idk that’s a women liker men passive appreciator right there i feel like saying i hc a beloved character as straight gets me on a blocklist i’m honestly saying the trans thing as a safety net but like if there was a cishet in a3 that would be sakyo. including the side characters. sakyo still wins

idk if this is unpopular or just unexplored but omi has the ability to see ghosts… think abt it. i’m passionate abt it. it’s why he describes so much abt nachi and his event stories Like That

i am very team izumi/itaru but only in the way that exes are. like they have a specific dynamic. like they kind of keep missing each other to actually reciprocate in a healthy relationship and eventually become friends that would’ve been best friends for life if they didn’t have that history. it’s not really queerplatonic but it’s a friendship that’s good and close but needs distance

at least half of the play characters are actually tsuzuru’s ocs from when he was a teenager as opposed to roles written exclusively for mankai company’s usage

sakyo, omi, tsuzuru, izumi and citron regularly plan out and optimize market sale days in the exact same style as oceans 11 and with all the dramatics of it

ok here’s the hot takes

some of you hoes really can’t detect the nuance in masumi’s abuse and neglect and how he perceives loves bc of it. which like we all been knew but everyone innately hates him for how he sees izumi or immediately absolves him like??? my dude there are facets here you can write a fanfic abt that

the sooner we recognize sakuya and misumi as adults instead of uwu babyfying them the sooner we get to a perfect world

[a3hihi]

some headcanons about omi, nachi, and wolf!!! the boys!! ✨

This is mostly speculation based on what I’ve seen in the main story ft. projecting,, minor spoilers ahead as well!

Enjoy!

Omi and Nachi used to be the same height. nachi uses this as a fact in every argument they have. Both of them know that this fact is rarely relevant but it happens anyway

If you’ve seen Haikyuu, these two had a Tendou and Ushijima dynamic the first few times they met. By this I mean “frowny boy and his friend who smiles and is just as dangerous.” I also mean chaos starter and chaos enabler duo

Both of them often wear chain belts. Omi tried dog tags for a while but he stopped (he says he stopped bc Nachi kept calling him a soldier to humor him, but honestly he just lost interest)

That’s when they started to wear matching bracelets

There’s an inside joke within the gang that Nachi has a “better butt,” but Omi has a “better chest.” Only Omi knows about it (and he knows it's true so-)

Omi feeds them outside!! He makes them dinner bc some of them can’t make their own food at home. You can’t miss dessert with Omi either: most of the time the gang has lollipops, ironically after their more intense fights. They don’t actually know it’s from Omi though ,, 

They often visit convenience stores at like 3am to find more snacks! Omi’s good with any flavor but he saves the saltier flavors for Nachi and the rest. At that time, he experimented with cooking new foods, and DIY chips were one of his first projects

Like Juza, Nachi has a resting bitter face, but he smiles really easily. Omi’s is more neutral, but he needs to exert actual effort to keep a frown on. Both of them still intimidate people anyway, so it’s not a problem

Since Nachi got the idea of a gang from a manga, he often thinks of certain scenarios in terms of how they’d play out in a manga, much like Muku. Except in this case, those scenarios usually feature action.

Cut to him trying to act out cool fight scenes when their gang just started out, to him flinging one-liners at leaders of enemy gangs. Omi just lets him do it, sometimes joining in

Ex. Fighting back to back with him to replicate “that one panel from this issue! C’mon Omi!”

Not a lot of people can tell, though. Those who can won’t say anything, either—that guy reciting one liners from time to time also runs West Tokyo, so don’t even bother

Speaking of motorcycles, they got their bikes together. Nachi often gives his bike affectionate nicknames, while Omi’s more on maintaining his bike and just getting things done. Nachi sometimes pats his bike like it’s a pet just to piss Omi off 

Nachi: you’re scaring the baby

Omi: what baby

Nachi patting his bike: :(

Omi, sighing: what can i do to help

Some of their members take out their bikes’ mufflers to make them louder, much to the expense of the bikes themselves. The two leaders allowed this at one point, but later on it got annoying

Instead they hoot when they race through certain areas, often mimicking wolves’ howls when approaching another gang’s turf to announce their arrival

One of the only times they’ve fought was nachi going “you’ve grown up too fast, didn’t ‘ya?” once they realized they hit their growth spurts. omi didn’t speak to him for four hours. After that nachi had to get him a smoothie or smth and then they talked it out. COMMUNICATION >>>> 

Last but not the least:

Nachi has minor super ultra easy mode-itis, in that he thinks of something and (usually) succeeds at executing it. At one point he dared himself to drink fifty cans of soda, and he did, somehow. Anything he tries, he excels at, and that draws lots of people to him :)

Nachi’s usually a very laid-back guy, only being sarcastic and blurting out random jokes and ideas around omi. Omi’s honestly piled with responsibilities, so Nachi takes it upon himself to make him relax when they’re out together. This usually means pushing Omi’s buttons, though, often to the point of pulling off their best stunts yet

Ex. “I bet I can run my motorcycle over the river.”

“That’s not gonna happen.”

“Wanna bet?”

Spoiler: He gets his motorcycle over the river

King behavior

Thank you for reading!

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 15: PAINFUL RE:BAKE - Episode 27: Memories of Nachi

It was when I was around 10 years old.

There was tension within my family, and the atmosphere in the house was always heavy and uncomfortable. I couldn’t stand looking at the sad faces my parents made when they looked at my face.

That’s why I’d wander outside aimlessly till late.

One day, when I was at the riverbank, a blond guy called out to me.

“... Hey, ya ran away from home?” “... Who’re you?” “A ex-pro at runnin’ away from home.” “What’s with that.”

“Why did you run away?” “... Being at home is hard.” “Ahhh, I get the feel.”

“But, well, if ya look, you can find a place to belong to outside of your home, too. If you come here again, I’ll listen to your troubles anytime. And when you get a lil older, I’ll let you join the place where I fit in.”

“What’s your place to fit in?”

““Wolf”. It’s a group made up of lone wolves like you. I’m Nachi Komada, my partner ‘n I are the double bosses there.”

“Let me join now.” “You’re too small for it now.  And we’re in a bit of a rough patch, so you’re gonna hafta wait till you’re old enough to ride a motorcycle.” “...” “Well, let’s talk here again anytime ya want.”

Even though that Nachi guy said that and laughed, no matter how many times I went after that, he was never there.

-

Omi: … Judging by the time frame, he probably died soon after.

Omi: (So there was a reason behind Keiku taking Nachi’s name.)

Omi: (I wonder if he thought he’d get to meet Nachi again if he used his name…?)

Omi: Do you still not go back home?

Keiku: My parents are separated and live in different houses now. I don’t see ‘em when I go home anymore, but being there is still uncomfortable.

Keiku: Now I just change where I sleep day after day.

Zen: How ‘bout you stay at our dorms for the time being, then?

Keiku: Dorms?

Zen: We’ve got a boarding house where the cast members stay at. There's room available, so sleep there.

Keiku: … Got it.

Zen: Nachi came to this shop, too.

Keiku: Huh–

Zen: He said he wanted me to hire him here some day– Wanna work a live-in job?

Keiku: What do I gotta do?

Zen: You can help out as a hall staffer, or be a cast member for the shows we put on.

Zen: You moved just fine at the workshop, so you’ll be fine doin’ either.

Keiku: But I dunno the first thing ‘bout theater. Haven’t watched any plays.

Juza: … Wanna come see our play next week, then?

Keiku: Are you gonna be in it?

Juza: Yeah. It’s not our troupe’s play, but it’ll have a sword fight, so you won’t get bored watchin’.

Keiku: Huuuh.

Keiku: I’ll come then.

-

Kabuto: That’s enough. … It’s coming together nicely.

Aoshi: I think… This could become a great piece of work.

Kabuto: We’ll see. The quality of a work is only decided once the curtains fall.

Kabuto: (... Regardless, it’s impossible not to get your hopes up.)

Kabuto: Leads, make sure you cool down properly.

Juza: ‘kay.

Banri: You got it.

Juza: When’s he coming to watch?

Banri: Think he’s comin’ on opening day.

Juza: …gh.

Banri: ? Oi, don’t tell me–

Juza: ‘s a light wound. It’ll be fine after a good night's sleep.

Banri: …

[A3!] ★ Main Story | Act 15 - Painful RE:bake | Episode 2 - Portrait / Keiku Karashina

--Whatever. Anyway, I just wanted something easy to understand.

My everyday life is boring and tasteless. At some point, I realized that I was just less sensitive than others.

If we’re talking sweets, I like them sickeningly sweet with lots of cream. I don’t really like wasabi, but I like mustard. Whether sweet or spicy, I like extremes.

It’s not just with my taste, it’s with everything. It’s hard for me to scoop out my feelings.

I’m also not great at non-verbal communication, or whatever they call it. And because I think like this, it’s annoying and confusing and frustrating for me to try and figure out what to tell other people or how to tell what other people are thinking behind their words.

I started feeling nothing but unfulfillment while doing group activities with the other teenagers I’m forced to live with, even though I didn’t want to, just because they’re the same age as me.

Life’s full of things that are hard to understand.

When I see all these people living their lives in such an incomprehensible world with such unconcerned looks on their faces, I can only wonder.

That’s why I’ve started only seeking tastes that are easy to understand… and communication that’s easy to understand.

For example, things like this--.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Vulgar Young Man: --Gh.

*Keiku takes his phone out of his pocket*

Keiku: …Communication completed.

*Notification*

Keiku: …

momo: “Log on as soon as you see this”

Keiku: ?

Iv has entered the chat.

Kar has entered the chat.

Kar: Sup

shiki has entered the chat.

shiki: Did something happen?

momo: You’re never gonna believe how great things turned out!

momo: Somehow I got a famous influencer to join my theater troupe!

shiki: That’s great! Congrats!

Iv: damn, congrats

Kar: Who’s the influencer?

momo: Have you ever heard of Ibukichi?

shiki: My friend follows them.

Kar: I’ve probably heard of them

momo: It’s kinda crazy, I never thought a famous person like that would join! 

shiki: How’d that happen?

momo: They ended up wanting to do theater after seeing a MANKAI Company play! It was like fate!

momo: MANKAI Company’s Tsuzuru-san promised he’d write us a script if we find two more people, so we’ve just got a little more to go!

Keiku: …Seriously? 

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

momo: So, what do you think? Will you guys reconsider joining my troupe? Kar: Nope shiki: I can watch your performances, but not actually do it, sorry. momo: I figured~... momo: Then will you at least come and see our play once the troupe successfully forms and decides on a performance to do? momo: I’d love to meet you guys IRL at least once! Kar: Nope shiki: I’m interested, but I don’t know about meeting up in person… I’ll be supporting you from the shadows. Iv: samesies Kar: Good luck tho

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

Keiku: (...Well, not like we can actually meet.)

Keiku: (If they keep being persistent like that, I might gotta drop ‘em… Or I could just do it right now.) 

Keiku: (It’s chill, and it’s way easier when it’s over text. No back and forth, just straightforward communication.) 

Keiku: (But it doesn’t have to be them…)

Keiku: …

Keiku: (Well, whatever.)

*Phone rings*

Friend A: “What’s up?”

Keiku: I need to stay over today.

Friend A: “I mean sure, but you still haven’t gone back home?”

Keiku: I’ve never gone back home.

Friend A: “Liar.”

Keiku: (This kinda shallow, meaningless communication is still easier.)

Keiku: (I’ve got no clue what this guy on the other end of the phone is thinking right now, or why he always lets me stay over. Not like I really care.) 

Keiku: (At least I’ve got a place to sleep today. That’s good enough. No problems here.)

Vulgar Young Man: Wait…

Keiku: ?

Vulgar Young Man: Tell me your name…

Keiku: Damn, almost forgot. Thanks.

Keiku: My name is… Nachi Komada of “Wolf”~!
