#also ik many people think it is silly or unnecessary but

[literalite]

i’m not that same genshin anon, but what are your opinions on fontaine so far!?

HEYY NEW ANON LETS GET INTO IT 💪🏼💞

(spoilers for the 4.0 archon quest obviously 🥰 also massive block of text and this was me trying to keep it brief idk this has been the most interesting genshin has been for me in a hot sec)

i ammmmm not a fan of the new pneuma/ousia system.. ik they gave us lyney and hydro traveller have that inherently but to be totally frank i dont appreciate being basically told to build characters that i dont actually want to 🕊 if they had to implement this i would have preferred that all existing playable characters have an affinity toward one or the other that only triggers inside the borders of fontaine. bcos there (from how much of the region ive seen so far) doesnt seem to be a super solid lore reason as to why only fontaine characters and inexplicably the traveller have exclusive access to arkhe system it just feels unnecessary i dunnoooo. tbh tho i am being sort of nitpicky with this like i dont Need to have arkhe using characters in my party to do decent i can just tank it

i like the nation design! it feels very exciting. ratiowise it feels a bit awkward to have so much of the nation dedicated to the ocean, would have loved an extended sewer system that went into the sea as well so u could access it from both inside the city and in the sea. im a big fan of the steampunk aesthetic and i do wish they'd leant into it a bitttt more as opposed to the art deco. i like grunge sue me. i love the aquabuses and i wish there were more of them but perhaps a bit faster 😅 not the most entertaining mode of transport but my graphic settings arent the highest so i could be missing some of the scenery aspect of it

ok onto the archon quest. to my surprise i actually enjoyed it i thought it was silly and over the top but not in a wholly offputting way. like was it goofy and did i have to suspend my disbelief very hard yes but when i managed it i still had a fun time. childe getting knocked out in one go by neuvillette was def a highlight to me as well as pretty much all of navia's scenes she's such a cool character i really connected with her i think and i hope she comes back for more later down the line and we get some more background on her and clorinde's relationship (or lack of one? not sure what their deal is specifically but giving off immense toxic yuri which.. YESS) before clorinde killed her dad. i appreciated the balance between the expected lighter portions of the quests with the darker themes and stuff (the prophecy, lynette's trafficking, the injustices that the so called nation of justice metes out to its people) i think it was handled decently. all the characters felt like that had a solid reason for being incorporated into the quest itself (my main issue with sumeru's archon quest was how it felt like it was just introducing us to as many characters as they could just for the sake of it and no actual plot reason *cough* dori) and all were realistic and nuanced enough to hold their own in the overall sequence of events. VERY invested in the next installment of the quests in the next update in a way that i don't think i've been since the disappointment that was the final truncated and weirdly paced parts of the inazuma archon quest, sumeru felt like a whole new writing team finding their feet in genshins lore and this nation's quest has so far felt like they've def found their footing

i like lyney and lynette and freminet, theyre a really interesting set of characters and everyone who called them being fatui is surely very pleased with themselves gfhjkl i do find i guess for lack of a better word child soldiers as a narrative point really compelling to me (coughs in sunao kimura), and their clear loyalty and "love" towards arlecchino feels like it will pay off in a big way later down the line, for better or for worse. i did not see lyney being groomed to be the next "father" of the house of the hearth coming so when i looked into all of their voicelines that genuinely surprised me and opens up a lot of questions as to how the harbinger structure works or at least how arlecchino's place in the harbingers works. does this mean if/when arlecchino dies lyney takes her place as a harbinger as well or is her position as harbinger separate from her position as "father"? theyre making the fatui a lot more interesting to me personally as the plot goes on which is a good thing because i was really not into the whole two bit villain thing they were pushing in the really early parts of the game

in terms of who im going for i would like neuvillette i am not immune to lame dude with long hair. to be honest. also if navia has a good kit i might go for her actually because she was a stand out character in this archon quest in a way i really was not expecting like at all so. big fan of her

hi, i have pisces mars, how can i develop it? i suck

don’t do the whole “i suck” thing for starters. It’s hard ik especially for those of us who are mentally ill and/or went through trauma and have conditioned thoughts like these, but also it can be helpful to remind yourself that your thoughts do not define you and to redirect your thoughts rather than bully them away or blame yourself for them (let me know if you want resources on this!) so as to diminish later blowups/ guilt-tripping behaviours. a lot of Pisces mars people very much are willing to change their ways/ listen to other perspectives like you! telling people you suck doesn’t really come across as taking responsibility though, a lot of people will take offense to that - rightfully so - and think you’re being manipulative or simply looking for validation, acceptance or forgiveness. probably wasn’t your intention, it’s just important to think about how others would interpret our behavior. 

accept that feeling bad isn’t an excuse to avoid preemptively thinking about how your actions impact others, it takes practice but make a conscious effort and you’ll be surprised how much good you can do despite overwhelming emotions! in a similar vein though, do NOT ignore or repress or minimize your emotions for the sake of others. if anything that will lead to more uncontrolled anger, manipulative behavior, and self-pitying feelings/thoughts which further reinforce the unhealthy behaviours you’re trying to rid yourself of

BEWARE OF WHO YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH

if you can, avoid fixating on what you did wrong and feeling shame + guilt for it. focus on how you can improve or eliminate the behaviours you don’t like & more importantly how you can make it up to anyone you hurt - especially if that person is yourself. easier said than done, especially for the obsessive types, but again i find that redirecting thoughts makes this easier than blaming yourself for fixating on your guilt. it can be an endless cycle really. how do you apologise to others + how do you apologise to yourself? if you don’t do either of those much, start working from there

get feedback from others where appropriate but take the feedback with a grain of salt until you have multiple perspectives

watch self regulation skills vids or read about it or... cant believe i’m saying this.. listen to a p*dcast. whatever helps you absorb information the fastest. ideally you would learn about this through written/ spoken word of both your own and others, through audio, visually, artistically etc to master self-regulation but that’s obviously not realistic or convenient for everyone so start small with what seems most realistic to you!!! I know especially Pisces mars can get quickly lose interest or motivation when it comes to things involving thorough detail lol. the next point expands on this but what works for me is pretending I’m my own parent. in a way we all are our own parents, but emotionally investing myself in that fantasy helped me apply my energy to things I’d rather not do (like doing assignments is still very hard for me, and to avoid discouraging myself from doing them, i kind of have a conversation with myself about it and kind of take on the role of child + parent. this is just an example - sometimes it just helps to use your traits to your own advantage, like Pisces mars being more interested in fantasies/emotionally engaging things than boring menial tasks; i used an emotionally engaging fantasy to motivate myself to do work, be creative <3). avoid relying on others for regulation & discipline. this can be very difficult for some of us + i understand and empathize with this. the point here is to be as independent as you can be.  also something going wrong does not necessarily mean it’s a sign from the universe to stop trying i promise

on the note of independence, take steps to becoming your own cheerleader. motivate & encourage yourself through positive self talk. in times where you feel demotivated, helpless or worthless, and say encouraging things to yourself. be aware that this will often seem silly and a waste of energy and u know how much Pisces mars like to save their energy at all costs lmao so this is definitely a common, normal reaction but every time this discourages you, remind yourself that IT IS worth trying and YOU are worth trying for yourself. sometimes I literally have to say cheesy shit like “you can do this” out loud repeatedly until I convince myself. it’s tiring & maybe embarrassing but recovering from chronic self-pity is even more tiring and embarrassing. avoid relying on others to uplift you & make you feel better. not to say that people shouldn’t help people, but just so you’re able to have your own back as much as possible

be more intellectually present oh my god 🤡 I beg of you. this can be very difficult especially for people who deal with adhd/mental illness(es)/trauma/learning disorders/developmental disorders etc. I don’t have all the answers for that but one thing most of us can do is engage in activities that nurture our intellectual health more frequently ; whether that’s reading (nonfiction preferrably), doing newspaper puzzles, crosswords/sudoku apps, problem-solving activities that don’t involve emotional appeal, etc just do it often. we all know how emotionally attentive Pisces mars can be but engage your intellectual side gamers (i.e. don’t game). I say this as a Pisces mars myself lolz please this is literally self-care

ik this is a snooze point but physical stimulation especially exercise can be really good for emotional wellbeing/ release. otherwise find literally any form of release - healthy forms I cannot stress this enough

wrt anger, bitterness, feelings of defeat: Pisces placements often have an external locus of control and thrive when they consider/have faith in something bigger than them. could be astrology, spirituality, religion, art, community, culture, all of the above, whatever makes u feel connected.

question your own intentions (but don’t overdo this); why am i acting this way or feeling this way? am I fishing for attention? if so, is there anything I can do to give myself the same warm feeling attention/validation from others would give me? am I acting like this because I feel hurt or taken advantage of? if so, is it possible for me to have a safe, healthy conversation about this with the source of the problem? WHAT is the source of the problem? what can i do about it? write this down if you can somewhere private and read it back to yourself later, notice any cognitive distortions in your thinking and make adjustments. this will help you practice using your intellectual side in distressing moments but there’s less point in using your thinking if it’s warped if you feel that’s the case for you. so google cognitive distortions & how to deal with them to get examples! try to make the adjustments next time you feel overwhelmed or have heightened emotions/senses

be firmer with your boundaries. with others AND yourself. the less you resist against boundaries the more your life will know peace because you are more careful with the people and/or behaviours you allow into YOUR life. do *not* ease up on your boundaries for the sake of other people. betraying yourself for others or immediate gratification is rarely a good idea in the long run. I’ve done the mistake of betraying my values for others many times and it’s caused unnecessary conflict which we are notorious for avoiding. that is until the evil puppeteer living in our brains snaps their fingers and commands us to go ham

[cat-with-a-yeehaw-hat]

In light of pride month (!!!), just wanted to say, I identify most closely as being bisexual (if you couldnt tell from my icon lol)! I wouldn't say I am pan but I do personally view the two as very similar as I am attracted to all genders lol. I haven't really come out to my parents. I think they would still love and accept me, but it's still hard for me nonetheless. I am still kinda in the closet for that reason, and thus feel wary about allowing myself to feel fully apart of the queer community even though I logically know that I am still welcome whether or not I am closeted. Though, it is getting better thanks to being so fortunate as to surrounding myself with queer friends. It's funny, I find myself most generally drawn to those who are trans and/or nonbinary, and the fact that it's not even intentional is extremely validating!!

In terms of gender-- last summer, I was out fishing with my dad and a friend when I had the very sudden epiphany in my head- "what if I used she/they pronouns?" And I kinda went full send. At least, with my friends, not my family obviously (good luck explaining that one to them). Since then I've been trying to figure out what exactly I am, and am doing so on the basis of not dysphoria, but euphoria, which for me is much more helpful. For instance, I don't think I'd be cisgender if I was this euphoric about wearing a binder lmao

Still coming to terms with it and a lot of inwards introspection. I don't associate myself with being trans, and I never have, really. Labeling myself as non-binary seems more accurate, but still scary, as if I have to "commit" to it somehow. However I do feel most confident in being labeled as genderqueer, more specifically a demigirl. I identify partially with being a girl, but also partially with being agender. It's pretty 50/50, actually. I feel relatively detached from being afab, but there isnt a significant amount of dissociation to create a real dysphoria. If someone were to call me a girl, my instant thought would be "ehh I mean, like I guess"

It makes sense with the she/they pronouns I use, too. I'll be honest, though, I don't like that the term demigirl is a noun, especially ending in "girl", but I do connect closely with the definition.

On top of all that, to a lesser extent I question whether I am also aro/ace? There are certain platonic relationship(s) I have that are very important to me and probably stretch the boundaries of what a normal close friendship looks like that's probably aro/ace in nature. However the thought of having a romantic partner someday is appealing to me, so idk really.

Anyway wow haha I was expecting this to be like two or three sentences and not a full out journal entry, but! Tldr; I am bisexual and most likely nonbinary?/genderqueer/demigirl. Thank you for reading this far it means a lot! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

( cisfemale ) haven’t seen NAEVA BARABESI around in a while. the NAOMI SCOTT lookalike has been known to be (+) STEADFAST & (+) JUDICIOUS, but SHE can also be (-) CHARY & (-) DETACHED. The 21 year old is a JUNIOR majoring in ANTHROPOLOGY. I believe they’re living in POTENTAS but I popped by earlier and no one answered the door. ( james! 20. EST. she/they. )

hello hello ! i’m james and this is my baby naeva !! she’s an oldie but also ... a new..ie ?? let’s just say it’s been a hot minute since i’ve awoken her ! i’ll probably pick up another muse at some point b/c that’s Who I Am and it was already a struggle figuring out who to bring in first so jskjdflg (except ik who i’d bring in for my second muse :~) ) anyways !! let’s get right into it !

TW: implications of illness.

a e s t h e t i c s

black a-line dresses and black oxford shoes and their light tapping against polished floors, parental expectations and eyerolls beginning lectures, sunglasses under fluorescent lights and the same old tired excuses. driving drunk friends so there’s a reason to say no, laughing off backhanded remarks and clinking of glasses, that old vintage watch that no longer functions but the presence brings a comfort like no other. tossing and turning and waking up and falling asleep--vicious cycles in a battle between dreams and reality. knowledge, and the ever-ending thirst to learn more--love for the surrounding world and an undying will to live. noses in books and the peaking gazes from underneath so, curiosity peaking and a longing to feel alright in one’s skin.

general info !!

full name: naeva ornella barabesi

nickname(s): to be determined t b h

b.o.d. - september 1st, 21 yrs old, virgo

label(s): the facade, the pastiche, the prevaricator, the salubrious

height: 5′6″

hometown: lecce, italy

sexuality: brave of u to assume naeva even know

her stats can be found HERE

and her pinterest can be found HERE !!

biography !!

to those her parents boast to, naeva is a miracle child by all means. guests told that she was born perfect--silent out the womb, easy as day to care for after years of trying for child with no avail; an angel taking vessel in their baby daughter. she is born to liars.

born to old money invested in hedge funds and the vice president of an international bank, surrounded by old buildings of exquisite architectural design--the barabesi family lived lavishly. this is not a lie. their mansions and sports cars and boastful superiority is all, undoubtedly real.

a child born with ailments to last her lifetime is a precious miracle who needs to stay quiet when mommy and daddy are bragging to their guests.

being oh so fragile only meant a lack of socialization except for when it’s convenient--the endless faces of specialists, or tutors, or her parents’ friends.

they love their daughter, yes, but after years and years of building perfect empires and fitting the mold they’ve so desperately tried to label themselves--god be damned if little naeva wasn’t their golden star right from the moment she was born.

born and, for a short time, living in lecce, italy--the barabesi family soon moved to the states in pursue of the best of the best doctors. specifically, cold spring, new york.

small enough to go undisturbed, the young girl spent her time learning and learning; whether it were numbers or vague history or what to take on what days and how to turn a cough into a smile.

and being treated as far too fragile--too delicate, as if she could shatter if you so dared look at her for too long.

eventually, the vicious cycle shifted to a life manageable. though still feeling as if she walked on eggshells, naeva could attend elementary school.

sure, it was stressful--but god, it was her life; she was not a burden, no matter the circumstance and no matter what ailed her.

years passed as naeva juggled the golden child act--attending school, her parents’ little parties, her after school lessons, endless doctor appointments--a blur, in all honesty. a near comfortable routine.

it wasn’t until naeva was in high school that she got a little, well, restless

routine is good, yes--but she was a girl who wanted to live a life where she didn’t have to worry about her health.

it were small things at first, skipping class to read in the library (how very rebellious, wow) and staying out of her house as much as possible without raising suspicions--whether it was stopping at the convenience store after violin or purposely hitting as many red lights as possible.

though naeva seemed to spiral her senior year, really, that’s when it became an issue.

unraveling quickly for reasons she really couldn’t fathom, she felt as if she wasn’t living enough.

going to parties instead of the library, committing vandalism with newly acquired friends, ignoring all the don’ts that came with being her and getting just. absolutely plastered.

it was at one of these parties, a college party nonetheless--where naeva met tatiana samuels.

the girl fascinated an impressionable naeva in a way she didn’t understand--it grew into a friendship, and for the rest of the year; if tatiana was at a party, so was naeva.

but of course--reality got to the best of naeva and when her health crumbled, she withdrew. canceled her bad girl subscription; practically swore it off.

it hadn’t helped that the entire situation had thoroughly freaked out her parents, and suddenly, naeva was six again. back to the basics. this time, however, naeva thought that just maybe, it was for the best.

her parents practically forced her to attend lockwood (not that she really minded) in order to keep her close to home--even so, naeva is living as independently as she can.

personality

it’s sort of easy to mistake naeva for a very serious kinda woman; y’know, no laughs or jokes or inappropriate behavior.

it’s the air around her, really; cool, calm, and collected; aloof yet confident, eyes so dark y’can’t tell if they’re judging or commending you. always seen with a yeti in hand, undoubtedly filled with decaf coffee--booties and tights and tasteful blazers. she’s your fourth grade substitute teacher that wouldn’t let you talk during free time.

but well, it’s a mistake.

she’s responsible and rational and work-oriented but god, does she value humor and amusement and all the good little things in life.

maybe she’s not the funniest person around, but she’ll attempt banter with you--and if you’re passionate about something she’ll hear you out; hell, she’ll support your excitement, maybe even share some of her own passions. naeva is constantly amused, even if her mouth’s set in a hard line.

she studies anthropology because of her love for human life and culture; her minor’s in sociology for god’s sake. naeva loves life, loves liveliness, loves people who feel intensely--naeva’s got a lot of love in her.

it’s a shame she’s so afraid to let people in.

don’t get it wrong--she’ll cozy right up to you but...is she really? or is she just letting you see what she wants you to see? it pains her, as somebody who feels so much, to act so...distant? she by no means gives off a cold air, but she’s the kind of gal you know without really knowing.

god, naeva is so scared. it hurts, sometimes, how scared shitless she is--the events happening in lockwood, secrets being revealed--the possibility that hers will be one day out in the opened without her consent. she just wants to live her life. she really, really, just wants to live.

‘course, she keeps it very very contained. her friends must not know how goddamn stressed she is, at all times of the day--the woman hates pity. she’s been pitied since birth. she wants no more of it.

it’s precisely why she keeps her medical history so hidden. she isn’t ashamed of her life, no, she’s alive and that’s what matters--but the pity. imagined or not--the thought of it is unbearable. maybe it’s silly, maybe a little too irrational for a girl considered so...rational, but, she can’t help it.

it’s not anybody’s business anyway--she tells herself, at least--

it’s led to her lying a lot--unnecessary, but she panics often--when she disappears from school for an extended amount of time, it’s because of family drama or events or public appearances or whatnot.

which, sometimes really gets to her--she’s supposed to be dependable, reliable, trustworthy--goddammit, and she can’t even do that. she’s just a girl with a lot of excuses up her sleeve and one day she’s going to run out.

don’t get her wrong though ! she’s not a passive person, y’know, just because she can be quiet and distant. if she sees an injustice she will speak out about it--she’s got a lot of opinions, and is pretty much ready to attack you with words.

tl;dr - kind and a Pal whilst keeping a distance--always stressed but [laugh track] you’ll never know. she’s also a big nerd when it comes to cultures and just. learning in general. loves history and sociology and anthropology and all that. like...a mom friend? very responsible, will be the designated driver Always and take care of you, it’s just...you only really know what she wants you to know, and she’s a lil bit of a liar. Big Smart, is always amused. not as serious as you’d think.

OH! and she’s very noncommittal in the relationship-sense. like...she’s probably dated around a little bit but the longer it lasts the more tense she gets and more often than not she breaks things off.

disclaimer!

illnesses can be a very sensitive topic and i promise i’m not being vague about it without reason: i’ll be going into it for a task. i’m always cautious on how i portray it, so please let me know when and where i can better myself if something feels off ! the last thing i want to do is come off as inaccurate.

i also was going to do a fun fact/headcanon section but my brain? big dumb and i literally forgot everything i wanted to write so lmao. one of these days, expect a lil headcanons thing. but for now ...

OH! here’s a fun fact! she’s rich as FUCK. that is all, good day.

wanted connections

god give me everything

like i’m really up for anything.

[melto]

I’ve been following your PatPran social media twt ficlet. And I came in here bc I wanted to list my favorite things down:

1. The characterization. The eng crew is so very true to their canon characters (at least how the characters would response to given situations.

2. The friendship dynamics. Again, the eng crew is my favorite. The friendship you wrote is just so natural, no unnecessary meanness towards each other on social media, just the right amount. They will fight each other to death for the last cookie but will also kill for each other, and it’s so apparent in the way you wrote them. I adore them with all my heart 😭

3. InkPa being awesome.

4. Chang using they/them pronouns and being the non-binary rep.

5. The ficlet giving all the characters screen time and importance and not just revolving around PatPran.

6. And last, the Wai slander 🫡 (will never forgive canon wai for victimizing himself and outing PatPran)

Thank you so much for writing this! It’s been my comfort thread for the last couple of days. Can’t wait to find out about what other shenanigans they are up to! Hope you have a wonderful day! 💕

AAAHJSFDHFJHDSJKW THANK U SO MUCH UR SO SWEET IM GLAD UR ENJOYING IT ^_^ 1. thank u!! i like to think i know them personally like those are MY friends actually

2. eng crew supremacy is so real!!! (as it shld be lol) originally i had just been making this au for myself bcuz i liked pat and his friends so much and i just wanted a silly easy way to do something with them bcuz their friendship is just one of my fav things to come out of bbs and i think abt them literally all the time im a man possessed they just!! rly do care abt each other so much and i have so many thoughts and so much to say abt it all but i will hold myself back rn to save everyone. but just know i have them :3

3. they are the only ones ever the closest to world peace we will ever get hashtag love wins

4. THANK U. ANY PRONOUNS CHANG IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME SOMETHING LIKE SNAPPED IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD WHEN I SAW MARK PAKIN'S MULLET ERA AND IVE JUST NOT GONE BACK SINCE....

^ image that really did some damage to me cant fully explain why but it did

5. again i was making this like just for me at first bcuz i was like SO into having it be a lot abt the others and not just patpran and ik usually these type of things arent but i showed a friend and they liked it so i was like whadda hell why not but im soo glad to know someone other than us two enjoy that everyone gets their time!! its smthin that always makes me :/ like ik they have friends i wanna see them!!! i wanna see gay people sooo in love but i want everything else too!!! pran's friends will have some more time soon i am just. obviously bias to the eng crew they r my silly fellas... inkpa will get more too as well esp bcuz im like finally abt to be at the actual plot and not just when i was messing around with dynamics and stuff LOL

6. without wai slander society would collapse o7 (same..i also have a lot of thoughts abt like pran's relationship with like his friends bcuz its just so. Yeah. esp when compared to pat's with his...i have a lot to say simply. and it makes me kinda bummed out a little but i will not be thinking abt that rn</3)

thank u so much again this made me had im so sooo happy ur liking it and that u continue to enjoy it!!! hope ur day is good!! :D

Kaminaga’s character profile: Part 4 (Alternate version from drama cd 3)

Kaminaga’s character profile: Part 4 (Alternate version from drama cd 3)

“Joker Game” Drama Cd Go For It! Year 2 Class D Sakuma Sensei (「ジョーカー・ゲーム」ドラマCD それいけ！2年D組佐久間先生”Joker Game” Drama CD Sore ike! 2-Nen D-gumi Sakuma sensei )

Surname: Kaminaga - 神永（かみなが） Name: Unknown Job: Student (学生 Gakusei) School: Yūki Academy Middle School (結城学園中等部 Yūki Gakuen chūtō-bu) Year: 2 Year (2年 2-nen) Class: Class D (D組 D-gumi) Club: Cooking Club (料理部 Ryōri-bu)

Brief introduction

Kaminaga is one of the students of Yūki Academy Middle School. He’s at the second year and belongs to D Class, whose students are all considered a thorn in Vice Principal Mutō’s eyes, who’s trying to have them expelled.

Personality

Kaminaga thinks that at the start of a new term, a transfer (female) student should join the school and end up bumping into someone while eating bread while running, and this would be a fated meetingand that it doesn’t hurt to dream just a little. He also believes there’s an eggplant that could grant any wish. Kaminaga is a member of the cooking club even if it doesn’t fit his image. He doesn’t cook though, he just eats Fukumoto’s cooking. Kaminaga apparently doesn’t seem to understand why their class ends up in a restaurant different from everyone else during the school trip, even if this has happened in the past as well. When face to face with a robber, Kaminaga isn’t impressed, he’s actually so excited he asks the robber if he can take a photo as souvenir and find funny how the robber is more concerned about being tossed a color ball than the money. Kaminaga has multiple phones and, like the others, he can’t oppose to Jitsui’s threats. When making the horror house Kaminaga plays the role of a werewolf but he’s quite bad at this and not really interested as he’d only like to lead girls to hug him. It takes him the threat of Jitsui to force him to improve.

Physical appearance

We’re supposed to assume his physical appearance remained the same as the one he has in the Anime only way younger as in the anime he’s over 20 while here he’s supposed to be around fourteen. It’s not said what he wears usually but on the cover for the cd we can see he wears a Gakuseifuku, which is a typical uniform for Japanese students. It’s worth to note though that he keeps the jacket of his Gakuran completely unlatched.

Relationships

Mutō

We don’t really see Mutō and Kaminaga interact, we only know that Mutō thinks the D-Class is a thorn on his side and hopes all the students inside it will end up getting expelled.

Yūki

We don’t really see Yūki and Kaminaga interact, we only know that Yūki is the school principal and that, in his own way, he cares for the D Class students and doesn’t want them to be expelled.

Sakuma

Seeing Sakuma showing up at the cooking club Kaminaga can’t guess why he’s there and wonders if he’s there to eat or was he searching them because they did something bad. Kaminaga is also surprised Sakuma didn’t meet the headmaster as he should be the one assigning school advisers.

At first Sakuma thinks being in the cooking club doesn’t fit Kaminaga’s image, though I guess he understand why he’s a member when it turns out Kaminaga’s only duty is to eat the food Fukumoto cooks. After hearing Kaminaga is a womanizer Sakuma asks him to act more like a middle schooler in his relationships at which Kaminaga claims he would be faithful if he were to meet his fated one.

In fact Kaminaga thinks it’s great, that Sakuma bumped into Miyoshi while they were just talking about bumping into a transfer student, though he regrets that Sakuma is a guy as he was hoping he’ll be the one to bump into his fated girl. He’s so passionate in this he causes Sakuma to feel slightly guilty.

When Kaminaga will complain they’re eating in a small boring old diner, Sakuma will try to sugar coat things telling them they’re ‘a special case’ instead than telling them they’re a problematic class and therefore they get special treatment.

Miyoshi

Jitsui, Miyoshi and Kaminaga seem to usually go to school together. Kaminaga is the last to join the group. According to Kaminaga Jitsui and Miyoshi are too unexciting. Kaminaga also openly blames Miyoshi for making their previous class adviser quit but Miyoshi finds his words merely rude and doesn’t feel guilty at all. Later Kaminaga makes fun of Miyoshi by commenting his head was broken in the first place so even if he had hit it when bumping against Sakuma he would be fine. This irritates Miyoshi who asks him if he’s trying to pick a fight with him, and calls him “Paripi Otomi” (パリピ男 “Party guy”), which nowadays Japanese people mostly use it to describe people who are annoying. At this Kaminaga replies that since Miyoshi spends two hours each day to fix his hair, he is the crazy guy as well as a narcissist. Miyoshi defines Kaminaga a womanizer who always exchanges LINE messages from a handful of women. Kaminaga doesn’t correct him. Kaminaga finds Miyoshi’s explanation about the difference between pancake and hotcake a waste of time and complains he’s the type to say unnecessary things and that he wouldn’t want to go out with someone like him to which Miyoshi replies he wouldn’t date a guy like Kaminaga who lets his crotch think.

During the school trip Miyoshi makes fun of Kaminaga for believing an eggplant could grant wishes at which Kaminaga complains Miyoshi is so quick to point out such things and that he’d been on it since earlier, asking him what’s so bad about believing in it. Miyoshi won’t reply.

Overall although they look like two friends they seem the sort of friends that spend more time criticizing each other and arguing than getting along.

Hatano

Kaminaga and Hatano’s interaction is extremely small.

When Hatano and Amari are late to class, Kaminaga makes fun of them, commenting they are good friends for getting late together. During the school festival, Kaminaga, Hatano and Odagiri will play the role of monsters in the haunted house. Kaminaga and Hatano agree that Odagiri is amazing at playing the role of a zombie. When Kamianga claims he wants to embrace scared girls Hatano tells him this is out of question to which Kaminaga comments he’s being too stiff.

Amari

Kaminaga and Amari’s interaction is extremely small.

Kaminaga makes fun of Hatano and Amari commenting they are good friends for getting late together. During the school trip Kaminaga accepts the snacks Amari was offering.

Jitsui

Jitsui, Miyoshi and Kaminaga go to school together. Kaminaga is the last to join the group. According to Kaminaga Jitsui and Miyoshi are too unexciting. According to Jitsui Kaminaga is too noisy so early in the morning and makes unnecessary movements that cause the weather to feel even hotter than it is. When Kaminaga claims that this is the time of the year in which a new female student joins the school and bumps in a male student and this becomes a fated meeting, Jitsui has to point out this sort of things doesn’t even happen in shojo manga anymore to which Kaminaga replies that, even though Jitsui has such a pretty face, he’s too realistic. Jitsui agrees with Kaminaga that Miyoshi reproached their previous class advisor too much.

Tazaki

When Amari and Hatano are late for lessons and Kaminaga comments they’re getting late together because they’re good friends, Tazaki disagrees, claiming that Hatano’s lateness should probably be due to him getting involved in Amari’s shenanigans, to which Jitsui agrees.

Tazaki, who believes eggplants can’t grant wishes, complains that Kaminaga (and possibly some others) did too much of a ruckus about the eggplant granting wishes, attracting everyone’s attention and scolds them, complaining that’s why they all have a bad reputation… apart for him. Kaminaga replies Tazaki is like a mob character to which Tazaki points out it’s only because the others are too weird.

When a robber tries to rob them, Tazaki, thinking the robber has so many openings they couldn’t decide on which timing to take, called Kaminaga’s phone and created another opening.

When trying out their roles for the horror house, Tazaki threatens him with a whip and complains about how Kaminaga pretends to be a werewolf, telling him not to use silly lines that make him sound like a cosplayer loitering around Shibuya at Halloween. When Kaminaga tries to be dismissive, Tazaki insists it’s the quality they’re after. He then encourages him to take Odagiri as a model and to try to understand how a monster feels. As Kaminaga and Hatano complains and lose themselves in chat he cracks his whip again telling them to stop chit-chattering because they've no idea what Jitsui will do to them if they don't do it properly.

Fukumoto

Kaminaga is not shy of praising Fukumoto’s ability at cooking, doing laundry, sewing and cleaning up considering him 2nd year D-Class’ mom. To this Fukumoto always react by commenting he didn’t give birth to them even if Kaminaga says that’s not what he meant. Kaminaga comments that Fukumoto is training to be a good housewife and support the person he adores, which Fukumoto tries to deny.

Odagiri

Kaminaga and Odagiri’s interaction is extremely small.

When preparing the haunted house, Kaminaga, Odagiri and Hatano are tasked with the role of pretending to be monsters. Kaminaga is amazed by Odagiri’s ability to pretend to be a zombie and he’s told by Tazaki that he should take Odagiri as a model.

Abilities

Maybe handling multiple phones?

Trivia

Compared to his other incarnations here Kaminaga is rather prone to believe in things and more naive. He doesn’t get their class is ostracized and he dreams about fated meeting and eggplants granting wishes which leads him to bitch with Miyoshi. He doesn’t try to make fun of Sakuma but worries he’s searching them to scold them.
