HI ROCKK WHAT ARE YOUR OCS THOUGHTS ON DEATH, LOVE AND ALIEN STAGE

(IF YOU POSTED ABT IT IM SORRY I DIDNT SEE IT😭)

Love youuu

I love you too, Sun, and don't worry, I don't think I've ever posted about this specifically!! Thank you for the question btw this one will be fun >:)

But this IS going to be long so I will have it as a read more lmao. OH also warnings for mentions of suicide/self harm/murder

Nausi is afraid of dying because she's fully atheistic, she believes that dying is the end, and she specifically afraid of dying alone. Her fear of death is why, when she can, she just incapacitates someone rather than killing them (she's only killed a few people, as both a rebel and an AREPH trainee). Nausi hates ALIEN STAGE because it is not only a waste of life (eight contestants in the 50th season with only one winning, in the 39th season we have 32 contestants, with only one being the winner) but she hates the performative aspect of it as well, her loved ones and fellow humans being forced to compete for their lives, being made to act out a story that they may not very well want a part in. She cherishes love, holding it close to her chest and doing her best to connect with people, but she doesn't expect love from anyone and is frankly surprised when someone reciprocates any kind of affection towards her, platonic or romantic. She is a physical affection/words of affirmation/acts of service person

Asuka doesn't think about death, much, save for the fact that he will do anything in his power to prevent his loved ones from dying (as it's an extension of leaving). Shame how that will end up for him. He is looking forward to ALIEN STAGE as an opportunity to prove himself to his owner because his owner (unnamed right now) merely treats Asuka as another prized possession in her vast collection. Fun fact, he picked up his possessiveness, in part, from her. Love isn't really something that Asuka conceptually understands but he knows that there are people in his life that he would do anything for, say yes to whatever they asked of him, and that he wants to be around for the rest of his life, and he may not call it that but that's love to him. He's a quality time/physical affection/acts of service kind of guy hehe

Yumi actively wants to kill herself because she views death as an escape from the prison that she has found herself in. ALIEN STAGE is a means to an end. Love is unexpected but welcome.

Faisal doesn't really think much of death besides that it's going to happen eventually. He dreads ALIEN STAGE but at the same time, he's immensely grateful that he won't be forced to participate, and that he'll have Zhuli by his side during the hardest moments. Love is something he has in small amounts and does his best not to take for granted. He tries his best not to drive away the people that he loves but he feels unworthy of their affection nonetheless and worries that they will eventually realize he is undeserving of their love.

Dian avoids thinking and addressing death whenever possible. He knows that it isn't some noble thing like the seygeins tell them but that doesn't mean he really wants to think about it much at all. Which is ironic because Nyx is morbid as fuck. ALIEN STAGE is something he fears. He is afraid he'll be forced to participate in the next season and he's hoping that his owner (Teneb)'s goodwill will hold. Love is a noble burden to Dian, a torch he is willing to hold, a weakness he will keep covered and hidden away in shadow for fear of it being exploited.

To Nyx, death is inevitable and always imminent. It could happen at any moment and he knows that but it won't stop him from living because what's the point of worrying about death at every turn, when he won't even know he's dead when he's dead? ALIEN STAGE is both something he despises and dreads because he knew that he was going to take part in it, it was something he's been prepped for his whole life, but he knows it's going to be his finale as well, so he can't exactly look forward to it. He hates it because it's taken many loved ones from him. On the love front, as I said in my Aurien post, "Love is a fickle, fiddly thing for him, something he doesn't understand and he has a difficult time identifying it." Nyx tells people that he loves them relatively freely because he never knows the last time that he'll see them.

(For other people's ocs that I mentioned, today there's only Zhuli, who belongs to @apriciticreveries)

Pointless Fighting Game Trivia of The Day: Strider’s First Appearance in SF

Zeku, Street Fighter V’s Final Season 2 character, references Strider. A lot. The point to where in his prologue story, hints at possibly starting the organization with same name. Ironically, this isn't in the first time both Zeku and Strider were in the same game. In Street Fighter Alpha 2/Street Fighter Zero 2, Strider Hiryu appears along side a host of other Capcom characters in Ken’s Stage, pictured above. 

In the same game, in Guy’s ending, Zeku is first shown, being defeated by Guy, who became Bushinryu’s 39th successor. 

Bonus Trivia: Right by Strider Hiryu in Ken’s SFA2 stage in the middle is Linn Kurosawa.

Linn is from Capcom’s 1994 licensed beat-um up, Aliens Vs. Predator. She has proven to be very popular with Capcom; Appearing in various artwork, cameos (like the one above and in Street Fighter’s III New Generation’s Bath house stage), but most importantly, the inspiration for two Street Fighter characters. The first is Ibuki. While is not confirmed she is directly inspiration for Ibuki, Linn’s design shares many uncanny resemblances to the character. One of Linn’s attacks, for example, shares similarities to Ibuki’s Raida move.

The second is Simone. 

Simone was first featured in Cannon Spike, and was directly inspired by Linn. As of last year, Simone was given a profile in the Street Fighter V Character Database, making her somewhat apart of SF canon now.

i think for the next couple of weeks everyones going to be looking for the person who voted 😭

[alien-til-i-stage]

btw when i said i was going to make a doc anout everything that happens in 39 i meant it

[alien-til-i-stage]

hear me out.

in the very back, maybe solei ( @solei-eclipse ) (mostly bc solei was a very big and important oc in the alnst community i noticed) and the winner of 39th season.

Then in the middle, closer to the front, are luka, hyuna and hyunwoo.

and then in the front ivan, till, sua, and mizi.

bc bc bc like how everyone in the 39th season would be way in the past way before luka and hyuna were even born. And a lot of the characters mirror or are like the og mizisua or ivantill or hyuluka, so it also plays into the theme of the song.

Again and again, like how alien stage is constantly going on and the same things happen over and over just basically in a different font.

and then ivan, sua, till, and mizi at the front bc they are the present do you guys get my vision please tell me you do-

ROUND 9 SIDE A - AZURE VS VERA | RE: AZURE

set in an alternative timeline where vera didn't continue on with the plan, making her compete against azure for their round 2 in ALIEN STAGE SEASON 39TH (vera belongs to @bittersweet-adagio) [ AZURE POV ]

an ethereal light shined upon the stage as it welcomes a round yet to bloom.

the atmosphere orchestrates a thousand falling snowflakes, it's color white like that of the bride's gown, with which the music dances to as it flows along its frills.

all the leaves have been fallen off, the branches are small. burn the sky, clouds become ash. fireflies becomes a star.

the artificiality of these lights, does it expose the true darkness of your soul? your eyes wander, looking for a place to go, but all it managed to do was look up.

tell me, what color is my sky painted? and as you dwell on its azure, tell me,

what color is your emotion?

close your eyes slowly and feel the wind. the bonfire is fading out.

in sync with the dropping of your heart comes the queue of the drum, accompanied by a million crystallites shatter. the shards mimic that of falling rain.

maybe we are falling, falling down with the rain. falling down, falling down...

you reach for something to hold in the fall, but instead of her warm fingers, you were greeted by death's cold hand. lifted once more, you were forced to look back up.

tell me again, what color is my sky painted?

does it show signs of a good omen? or does it show an eternal void, black like the color of your emotion?

close your eyes slowly and feel the wind. the bonfire is fading out.

maybe we are falling, falling down with the rain.

the raindrops secured the knot of our everlasting; after you and i utter our vows.

'til death do us part; for i, death, will tear you apart. dear ember, you have turned forlorn. a firefly to a star, the hyacinthine sky welcomes you with open arms.

falling down, falling down...

may your soul be relight in the afterlife, vera.
