#absolutely went insane for them

[oh-surprise-its-me]

It's been a very BLAG Day *sits down*

Tell me about a normal day in Jamie & Roy's life. As chaotic or chill as you'd like 😉

Oh darling I hope I can make your day a little better

Time jumps ahead!

-

Jamie rolls over he sighs when his hand hits a thigh. “Don’t fucking tell me you’re answering emails already you freak.” There’s a snort up above him and a hand in his hair. “Hush. Go back to sleep for a while. Don’t gotta leave for another three hours.”

Jamie peels his eyes open. “Three hours? God Roy come back down here and sleep more then. That’s gotta mean it’s 4am.” He flings his arm up high enough to catch Roy’s chest hair. He pulls. Not hard but enough to make Roy know he’s not fucking around. “Ow you shit. Fine.”

Roy snaps the laptop closed and slides back down, Jamie kisses his nose and steals the glasses perched on his nose. “You’re cute.” Roy snaps his teeth at Jamie he slips the glasses off and shoves them onto the shelf in their headboard.

Jamie grins and tucks his head under Roy’s chin. They’ll sleep for at least another hour. Jamie might even be able to convince him into morning sex..

———

Jamie bounced into the coaches room. His hair is braided back into two tiny French braids. Phoebe will be happy to see that he’s gotten better again.

Beard rolls his eyes but smiles at Jamie. Roy glares up. Jamie doesn’t let it stop him. He shoves Roy’s chair back and sits in front of him. “Dinner out tonight? My surprise?”

Roy sighs but puts his hand on Jamie’s thigh. The most affectionate he’ll get in the room. ‘Professionalism and all that shit.’ He rubs his thumb up across Jamie’s thigh. Jamie grabs Roys hand and threads their fingers together.

“Just text me what you want to wear and I’ll wear black.” Beard snorts in his chair. Jamie pouts, he pulls Roy’s hand lightly. “Suit and tie? With color?” Roy sighs dramatically, Jamie knows his tells. He’s putting up a show.

Jamie leaps up off the desk and kisses Roy’s cheek. “Love you! See you later! Be home by 5 yeah?” Roy rolls his eyes. He squeezes the hand still being held. “Love you. I’ll do my best.”

————

That night Jamie is leaned in the bathroom washing his face. He feels arms wrap around his waist. He would smile if there wasn’t so much soap.

“Thank you. Tonight was nice. We needed that.”

Jamie spits out the bit of water that went into his mouth. He grins at Roy in the mirror. “Love you, love doing things with you.” He gets a kiss pressed to his neck. He reaches for the toner. “Love you too you know? Best thing that’s ever happened to me. Brilliant man that fell for me.”

Jamie spins in Roy’s arms he beams up at the older man, he goes on his toes to give him a kiss. His fool. “Same. You’re incredible.” Roy shoves his face into Jamie’s neck. It causes him to giggle. “Big growly teddy bear.” Roy snorts from where his face is. “My sunshine.”

Roy pulls at Jamie until he cuts his routine short with only moisturizer. He’s dragged back to bed and is shoved into it. He bounces when he lands. Roy lays flat on top of him, just like the weighted blanket Jamie sleeps with some nights. Jamie wraps his arms around Roy’s shoulders. Today was good. Easy. Most of their days are easy with each other. Jamie presses a kiss to the top of Roy’s head again before drifting off. He feels Roy kiss his collarbone and thinks about how good Roy is to him. That’s the last conscious thought of the night he has.

I’ve been curious about this for a while, but is there a reason that Asuka’s name is the way it is?

Because in Japanese it’s written 飛鳥＝Ｒ＝クロイツ.

I know 2/3rds of it is Christian R(osen)kreuz but why is his first name kanji? Is there any reason for this? Is it a reference? Even if it is a reference, he is not Japanese so wouldn’t it be アスカ＝Ｒ＝クロイツ ?

Is there some Asuka lore I don’t know about? Is it just an aesthetic choice/to make his name as wacky as possible? (I mean, a kanji, romaji, kana combo for a name isn’t something you don’t see every day).

This has been on my mind for weeks.

I don't have citations for any of this so take it all with a grain of salt because I'm largely speculating.

飛鳥 means "flying bird" and Asuka's got a lot of bird/flying imagery in GG, especially in Strive. It could be that Daisuke just liked the motifs, but his design decisions are generally much deeper than that. Asuka has a LOT of themes baked into his character for things like Japan post-WW2/atomic bomb, the effects of horrors of decisions made during wars on the people who make them, and "sacrifice for a greater good." This last one is evident in the decision he had to make in redirecting Justice's laser towards Japan, killing millions but saving the rest of the world from whatever destruction the Universal Will was going to bring.

Asuka being an American with a Japanese first name and German last name fits into that too, with those three countries all interacting closely in horrible ways during WW2. Again, him having to redirect Justice's laser mirrors America's actions with the atomic bomb. "They dropped the bombs to prevent further deaths during the war" is a common (grim) reasoning given for it.

It's possible the bird motifs suggest a freedom and want for a life unburdened by heavy decisions that Asuka is never going to have. The more abstract bird motifs, like his weird eyepatch thingy, could also tie in with angel symbology and the Rosenkreutz/Rosicrucian Order stuff, which then loop back to his connection with magic and Backyard esoterica.

On a lighter note, Daisuke was almost definitely inspired by Go Nagai's Devilman, despite me not having a citation for that lol. 飛鳥 is the same kanji Ryo Asuka from Devilman uses, and GG Asuka's relationship to Sol is almost 1:1 to Ryo's and Akira Fudo's in Devilman. Sol's Dragon Install designs borrow some inspirations from the Devilman's too, most notably in the weird head-wing thingies.

Asuka R. Kreutz is a character that has a ton of very deliberate and carefully chosen elements to his character. I have zero doubts that, when we do find out why Daisuke named him the way he did, it's going to open the floodgates for intense analysis.

which character in obm do you think is the most yandere for mc and why?

CRACKS KNUCKLES OKAY (there will be spoilers from nightbringer so just a heads up)

In my opinion it's definitely a tie between Mammon, Leviathan and Belphegor. Mammon In the OG it's been stated that Mammom oversees all forms of greed, and we know how he is head over heels for the MC as well as possessive. (well the rest of the boys have possessive tendencies towards the mc so lol) In Nightbringer we actually see him go super possessive over the MC to the point his brothers struggled trying to get him under control. Although it's been resolved, I still wonder if he'll be able to go that crazy like that again @ the MC. He is the Avatar of Greed after all, he makes it known to everyone that the MC belongs to him only and that he was their "first." Leviathan Avatar of Envy, enough said. I do remember in the OG (whether it was in one of the pop quiz events or the main story, I'll have to dig later) he did say that the MC is his. Either way I do believe he can be the most yandere for the MC. This jealous serpent??? Obviously. The MC is his idol, his angel, his player 2. I genuinely think he can be a terrifying yandere too. Iirc apparently he was supposed to be a canon yandere but they scrapped it? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's pretty much all I can say about him for now, It's not much so sorry. u __ u Maybe I'll edit and add more later. Belphegor He's a canon yandere (mmNNFF YUMMY). In Nightbringer his yandere side is shown more in Lesson 33-14 , Where he tried to keep the MC from going back to the human world (in MC's case, back to the future) by putting a spell on them so they feel tired. He's so wants the MC is to stay and to keep for himself and it shows, not just in nightbringer but pretty much anywhere. Dude got jealous/angry in Lesson 55-18(OG) where if you choose the option "I'm worried about Lord Diavolo." Belphie responds with "sO yOu cArE mOrE aBoUt lORd dIaVoLO tHaN mE?" What a spoiled, bratty, yandere bitch baby. Also a scary yandere. Tbh I can't really choose but it's between these three. Sorry for any typos btw. Honorable mentions: Lucifer , Barbatos , Diavolo

When I watched rebels and ahsoka I couldn’t have cared less about thrawn

I am now reading his book and I care about him and eli SO MUCH

[gojooooo]

[jade-len]

luo binghe better than me fr i think i would've gone fucking apeshit if the person i loved with my entire soul pretty much said "fuck you" because of my race and pushed me down into literal hell for me to suffer for years

i've said it before and i'll say it again, i really don't think we give binghe enough credit. that man was on concerning levels of forgiving all the way from the start

Persona 5/ Persona 5 royal spoilers ahead!

Okay so I did this WIP a while back that I discontinued but I'm still going insane about the meaning of it and also the symbolism of masks in this game and also akeshu parrallels so I need to Yap abt them

Yap session under the cut!

The symbolism of masks in this game drives my so batshit insane actually. Like. So often we see in media that people are finally free when they take their mask off (both metaphorically and literally) but in this game we see people's true forms when they put one ON.

Like the palaces are where we see people's true faces and desires. It's the place where no one can hide who they are. And yet it's one one place where you wear a physical mask and disguise and have to conceal who you are.

I could (and will at some point) write an entire essay about that but rn it's akeshu hours

Because Joker is arguably the best example of that, he becomes alive in the palaces, where his face his hidden. It's his freedom

Versus Akechi

The first time we see Akechi show his true form to Joker (and the player) is in what is percieved at the time as the real world. The entire time we work together in the palace, the place that shows who you are despite the mask you wear he hides who he is. It's only in the gritty real world that he reveals himself.

Joker in the real world is perceived (at least by people outside of his circle) as closed off and someone to be cautious around, he has a criminal record so he could be dangerous. The exact opposite of how he is in palaces, the centre of the team and a flame people are drawn towards

VERSUS AKECHI

In the real world he is a celebrity, he is loved, people are drawn to him. But in palaces he's cold and heartless, his words are cutting and he cares for no one, not hesitating to kill to achieve his goal

Opposites in every sense

THE ABSOLUTE PARALLELS IT DRIVES ME INSANEASHBANANSJAKSS

They were both ruined by the same man. They both ended up in their current predicament because of said man. They both had the potential to weild multiple personas. They both have the capability to lead. They are the exact same and yet the exact opposite

They don't need to lie awake at night and wonder what would they be like if their life had turned out slightly differently. They don't need to because they have each other. EVERYTIME THEY GO INTO A PALACE THEY SEE WHO THEY COULD'VE BEEN, THEY FIGHT WITH THAT PERSON SIDE BY SIDE EVERY NIGHT I'M GOING MAD

I just think he deserves to have... massive monkey teethers.... absolute units 🫶💗

[solradguy]

I thought the early 2000s "strong yet naked/mostly naked woman kept in her place by stronger, bigger, beast/monster or gang of racist caricatures" trope* was known by basically everyone but I mentioned it as a criticism of this older art book I'd flipped through recently to a friend and it turns out it isn't lol Maybe I've just read too many Heavy Metal issues... It used to be HORRIBLY inescapable in any sort of mature art scene back in the day lmao

*This trope is different from the pre-2000s one because the women usually look like they COULD fight back for at least a little bit whereas the previous trope had them be completely helpless damsels in distress
