Kiryu is so funny as a character to me because I really relate to him a fair amount and I kinda love him but I also kinda hate him lmaoooo. Like Majima and Nishiki make me so mentally ill and I cry and scream and weep and lust for them and they both love Kiryu so much (in different ways) and I guess like...in a way I’m jealous of Kiryu?? Every time I see art of him with one of them I’m like ‘it should be ME’. He’s a kind and well-meaning man (bear in mind I’ve only played 0 and Kiwami so far) but like.....he’s so fuckin’ annoying. Sometimes he just pisses me OFF and I’m like “I don’t CARE about you, Kiryu!!!!” I don’t give a shit about him!!!! But like, can I truly be a Majima or Nishiki fan and NOT care about him? Cause I do like him. I love him and Haruka’s bond, like I say, I relate to him, but just....God, Kiryu, things would be so much easier if I hated you (omg Nishiki moment). I relate to that lumbering autistic moron so much and I fuckin hate him for it and he is my good friend and I am going to punch him in the face
#smol speaks#smol plays yakuza#rgg#kiryu kazuma#this is both hate and love its a strange bond i have with him#my good friend John Yakuza whom i want to beat over the head with a radiator#he's the least of priorities he ranks so low on what i care about#he's not even on my top 10 would smash list. not cause he's ugly or anything i just. dont want hi#he really is just My Good Friend Kiryu i cant see him in that way yknow? like i wouldnt actively say 'no' (especially when he takes#his jacket off in 6 i think?) but i dont want to chew on him or foam over him#like i do Majima and Nishiki. and yet Ryoma Sakamoto got me like OHOHOHOHO#anyway thats off topic lmao#sometimes i want to hate him i really do but i look at those big brown cow eyes and i cant stay mad at him#he's just so...sincere. hes a fucking idiot but his heart's in the right place and everyone has a soft spot for him#so he can get away with shirking his repsonsibilities even though he wants to be a man of his word and help people out#he promises so much and wants to keep them but he also wants nothing to do with the Tojo Clan but he cant bring himself to fully abandon it

i hate these college campus vids on instagram sm like . okay. "whats your opinion on interracial couples" n then only talk ab black n white straight couples dating. like i am a product of an interracial couple, a straight black n white couple at that, and i love being mixed but yall weird like wtf man its 2023 wtf do u mean you should stay with your race like why it even matter if you like the person and bro i saw a whole acc for black men + white girl couples like what the fuck😭😭 and they was being racist to black girls in the comments . like thats straight fetishizing weird ouughhh. forever as a mixed person i always hear white boys/girls talk bout they want a daughter w blue eyes n curly hair like dont no one wanna hear that why you preordering a child like she prob wont even look like that gang😭 hopin for nun. foooreeevverrr i will hear the weird shit ppl say ab ppl having mixed babies n half of em dont put in any work to make their kids feel accepted , or learn how to do their hair , or learn ab their culture . like just expect them to know. its just an aesthetic thing. showing ur kid off like the damn circus. like its all fun n games til u gotta explain to ur kids that racism directly affects them. sure white ppl percentage in america going down bc of mixed kids wahooo but the ignorance is not. anyway mixed kids forever n ever
#like me personally i dont have a 'race prefernce' as a mixed person i guess i just grew up not rllt carin#but some ppl like only dating in their race cuz thats what they grew up seeing/being around and being attracted to like thats fine#but announcing that and then proclaiming that not only dating ur race is weird...#mannneee u doing too much#when i like slmeone i like someone. not a lot of my crushes have physical appearances in common#TRAITS ANS HOBBIES YEAH A FEW. thats something i consider my type. and dark hair dark eyes but theres exceptions to that#but only one u cant have light eyes AND blond hair sorry but light eyes n dark hair well maybe yeah#that was off topic sorry#but idk having specific physical traits u go for like#fluffy hair. green eyes. like kinda just announcing u want a white boy lol. nun wrong w it just dont act like u that relatable going bonker#fucking bananas for carter lmao#anyway mixed ppl hot n cool but i knew that

It’s possible Majima’s VA saying he wasn’t given the script yet is just a way to not giveaway he’ll be in 8. One of the devs shared a drawing when announcing they’ll be revealing LAD8 info and it contained Saeko, Nanba, Majima, and Kiryu. Make of that what you will 🤷♂️
yall cant be dropping info on me like 'one of the devs shared a drawing' i didnt even know the devs drew 😭 would love to see that if someon can get a hold of it
BUT that makes things a lil more auspicious for majima fans i reckon :)
#snap chats#i mean we already knew nanba/saeko/ichi/kiryu are gonna be in the mix they were in the trailer#i COULD argue majima was there because even RGG at this point figure kiryu and majima are inseparable#but THAT point ALSO can be used to argue thats why majima will certainly come back in LaD8#the timeline where he doesnt is just an interesting one- like kiryu not have /any/ of his past allies in a new game ?#mysterious..... lmao no imagine i date was still there MY RIDE OR DIE KING#i dont express how much i love date..... evil of me....#every time i play the games and i see date my kokoro goes doki doki and i say date-chan and twirl my hair#no i dont we can execute me for that SORRY but my feelings are very similar to that#hes just my guy :) and i hope he's in LaD8 :(#he wont be i know this :(#i mean he was in every other game right.... <-- delusional#this is SO off topic SORRY#anyways uhhhhh i wont be affected if majima's in 8 or not but i hope he's in 8 because his va's a sweetheart#and i was so :( when he expressed anxiety bout not getting a script#whether that reaction was real or not if there's even a DROP of sincerity in it im gonna yell#he's too sweet not to let him come back- plus him and kuroda have been VAing together for 40+ years now i think#or theyve at least known each other that long. either way would be upsettin to see their careers in rgg not end at the same time yk#which sounds deranged i love their work but everything ends yk- would be awkward if only one of them continued while the other was out 💀#im rambling i wanted to go play yk2 modded OK BYE TY FOR THE ASK <3

konig headcanons! (realistic)
tw: nsfw
all of these are realistic hc! dont expect a normal konig
hes NOT a shy awkward pushover, just because he has social anxiety??? we can see through his voice lines hes a very cocky person and speaks rather agressively
“lets be honest, its better off in my hands.”
i hc that just because konig has social anxiety, he doesn’t express this through bring soft and shy, he expresses it through his bluntness
konig wanted to be a sniper but did not because he couldn’t stand still, has social anxiety, i hc he has some form of adhd
his very cocky and blunt shouting isn’t because hes mean, but he just doesnt wanna be seen as that bullied kid he once was
hes doesnt have horrible EQ, but the kind of guy to be incredibly unfiltered
also, this guy was literally assigned as a human battering ram, you think hes all soft and sweet???😅😅😅
no he won’t get angry or cry if his mask is taken off. just annoyed.
its not actually canon that konig is a colonel (correct me if im wrong, i couldnt find anything on the official wiki) but lets assume hes one anyway
even if he isnt, gets paid well. really well.
private military companies that deploy soldiers in areas of active conflict can pay up to hundreds of thousands for one soldier
considering konigs age (late 30s at least) and skills, probably 400-500k a year.
chose to join the military because he had an obsession with tanks and guns as a kid
a lot of hc’s say hes 6’10. i disagree, simply based off of chances and the fact thats wayyyy too tall for the military
but he was described as a mountain, so id say his height is around 6’5-6’8
very very intimidating. hes tall big and has the mask of an executioner in the 15th century. who wouldn’t be scared?
definitely will say some random german word in a situation where no one else there knows german. he doesn’t give a damn lol
hates americans (thinks theyre all obese, mannerless, and bad at geography)
brings up the most random topics. again i really think konig has adhd.
konig was not good at school and hated it, mainly due to the anxiety and how he couldn’t pay attention
also why he chose the path of a soldier
drinks lots of beer, high alcohol tolerance, this guys a true european.
loves austrian or german food. loves schnitzel and pies.
konigs breakfast is literally sausages, toast, eggs, and sometimes beer
BIG APPETITE. he could eat for 3 people.
a little insecure about his appearance, not confident in his looks :( also why he hid his face
but as he grew older he uses the mask for actual purposes of concealing his identity, he is a special ops soldier after all
kind of a cheapskate. he chose to hide his face with what, polyester? chose a piece of cloth over everything else.
has very conservative beliefs. not to the point where he hates abortion and votes far right, konig is just a little confused about some things certain liberals believe in
pretty political person lmao
not enough info to conclude whether or not konig was abused as a kid tbh
he was definitely miserable for a period in his life. hes in the military living a monotone life, barely any contact with others, and constantly living in fear he’d die
i dont think hes as traumatized as ghost tho🙂🙂
konig appreciates his dna and how it makes him big and tall, but sometimes gets incredibly annoyed at it
mainly because well, he got bullied for itas a kid
because he specializes in hostage rescue a lot of hostages (especially kids) are scared of him and refuse to leave the area with him
takes a lot of convincing 🥲🥲
has a lot of intrusive thoughts
cannot use social media properly
also texts like an old grandpa. uses 😂 and 🤣 unironically.
“Can we have burgers 🍔 tonight🌃?”
probably uses a blackberry or reallyyyyy old iphone
relationship hcs:
konigs voice actor (jim boeven) stated in a livestream that konigs wife would ideally be a mix between maria pedraza (actress) and rachael from blade runner (character from movie).
both are 170cm ish and brunettes
i can actually see that—konig is massive and he probably prefers someone on the tall side
first thing you did that led to your relationship with him? you tolerated him that is. listened to him ranting😃
i can see him with a civilian or someone whos in the military tbh
finds you pretty at first
enjoys bickering, he needs someone to simulate his mind
you know those stories where his s/o is 5’2, clingy, soft af, and neeeeeeeds konig? haha you won’t be getting that from me.
unlike ghost, who really takes his time to get to know someone and opens up slowly, scared to have his trust broken again
konig charges in like the human battering ram he is😁
if he has a feeling you’re trustworthy you are trustworthy.
horrible at flirting. he doesn’t know how to talk to women smoothly
needs someone equally as weird and funny
s/o needs to be someone with very firm boundaries and can stand their ground, i think konigs a really stubborn person, so for a healthy relationship to work, s/o can’t be the generic bimbo
konig wears the pants in the relationship
doesn’t let you pay. he has a enough money and believes men should always pay
(im sorry to break your delusions) konig does not strike to me as someone who likes a docile homebody. thats ghost (if you remove the word docile).
he doesn’t like extremely dominant partners either
imagine someone who is a listener, accepting yet blunt, shares his quirks, and has a very elegant feel to them
also someone very independent
also gonna get killed for this but konig would realistically not go for a girl in her early twenties. he prefers elegance and sophistication over being cute and jumpy
hates one night stands.
values relationships more than you think. he can come off as strong at first, but hes trying his best
ecstatic when you tell him you wanna learn german (hes not a good teacher)
doesn’t like play fighting, he thinks he’s gonna accidentally hurt you
admires you a lot. he knows hes not the best looking person and doesn’t understand the makeup skincare dress up thing.
isn’t paranoid, but definitely doesn’t say he has an s/o
if you ever get mad at him, konig will tighten all jars in the kitchen so you have to ask him for help :)
extremely unfiltered. he hates your cooking? he will say it. that dress looks better than the other? he will say it.

theres also a dead cells reference but its dead batteries 😭 lmao
thats my fav frame ong they look so scruffy AND off topic i love the design of the drones faces in general 😭😭😭 they always have this little goldfish look
this scene was sooo pretty, generally it was a shock how good the animation and render looked like fr i wasnt expecting such an upgrade from ep 7
AND im so glad the physics didnt work at that moment and their hair didnt burn 😔 i would be mourning all ep
honestly ive became a fan of J 😭😭 she got the short end of the stick through all of it
Grumpy Mctraumabot lmao also why their ios is so outdated
a lot of people pointed out that uzi referenced the tpose covers for the OST but i think they did it with khan more accurately 😭

AAHHH are those her moms headphones?? idk
anyway the finale was fun and very pretty, kinda short, wish it could go on for 10 more hours, i also wish they all could get a chance to talk more cus im more for interactions between the characters rather than action but alright alright

Hello, question, tell me what modern outfit do you imagine your starboy and Asha wore?
OOo interesting question ( ̄。。 ̄)
Also sorry for the long wait, busy with school and just in general what their outfits could look like lmao 🦈🦈
Anyways, here you go!
I was very subtle on who they are haha- 100%%%%%
.
.
Inspo + more details lol
It honestly felt so weird drawing him in a diff. hair color, since it is usually a bright blonde, and instead I went for a dirt blonde hair color. I don't neccicairly like how i did the colors/how they were meshed, but I think it is fine for what I was going for.
For Asha, I still wanted her in her box braids, and I was looking up some refrence photos for inspiration, and saw this image:
AND I WAS LIKE HELL YEAH (plus it is so pretty like WHAT)
Also for like what their clothes were based off from..
For Asha, I saw her like more grude/formal, so I kinda went dark achedamia? I think thats what it was called? Idk I think it works design/character wise. My inspo:
For Star...look, I love the guy, BUT I LEGIT HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD MATCH WITH HIM VERY WELL- So I just scrolled through pinterest and found this and I was like: Alr this will work in my favors :3 (he can never escape from the collar shirts 🏃♂️)
And Like I said...I was SUPER SUBTLE on who they are for no reason, than I guess a more canonical reason is to no stand out?? Idk lol
(Also friendship necklaces bc sun, moon? I see asha moon star is obv a star?? Though sun and moon was a amazing pokemon game but thats a topic for another day- :3)
@signed-sapphire @dangerousflowerpanda @spectator-zee @oh-shtars
@chillwildwave @rascalentertainments @uva124
*LET ME BE PART OF YOUR SYPHONYYYYYYY*
#feeling silly#hehe :3#totally didn't make it obvious star boy was star boy hehe#and i totally didn't make it obvious that Asha was Asha#thats what I call character design#disney wish#wish 2023#art#artwork#art tag#artist on tumblr#small artist#concept art#digital art#modern au#au of au be like#lol#wish au#wish asha#princess asha#star wish#the kingdom of roses and thorns#neighbor asks

omg hi ive been following u bc i love ur comics but i did'nt realise that you have a fanfiction?? and that its rlly big on ao3. i thought u were just a tumblr comic creatorrr. anyway im gonna go and read it now but i love clora so muchhhhh!! <3
thank u for ur committment!!
BAHAHA my brainrot cannot be satisfied with just fanart or fanfic I NEED TO DO BOTH🤪🤪thats so funny tho LOL but THANK YOU!! AND I HOPE U LIKE IT💖💖🙏
THANK YOU!! AND SOON!! im writing as we speak, and i just decided what i want the drawing for this chapter to be and quickly drew it using my laptop trackpad before i forget LMFAO
look at this masterpiece???like😍😍😍heres your sneak peek for next chap!!
LMFAO AND HES NOT EVEN THE FIRST IVE HAD MANY PPL TELL ME THIS, clora will never escape the clorox allegations😩
IMMA BE REAL ITS LIKE 50/50. in my headcanon, seb was never the type to really want children/care about children. like if he never met clora i imagine him just graduating and becoming a curse-breaker or auror and going off on his own. but since meeting clora its like damn.....i do want kids with u.....i think #1 for him would be out of a desire to have clora be his full ass wife and have everything with her that comes with that (ie children) and warming up to the idea more, and then ofc once he actually sees the kid born ITS OVER (i also have it planned that their first kid is gonna be a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes so like......a little mini clora. sebs doomed🥺hes gonna spoil her so bad🥺🥺)
AW TYYY💖💖im glad you like how i draw him🥹 and ikr i need to draw older seb more, bc i am a slut for seb in that trenchcoat and black gloves🧎♀️🧎♀️🧎♀️actually wait while we're on the topic of my curse-breaker comic, i forgot about this LMAOO. I NEEDED REFERENCE PICTURES OF SEBS POSE so i put on a coat and similar shoes and forced my roommate to take pictures of me (she was very confused but also very supportive) i was like "i need you to take a picture of me on all fours from multiple angles. AND ITS NOT FOR SMUT I SWEAR" LMAO (i still dont think she believed me)
im dead it looks like im in the depressed anime pose bc theres no choccy milky in the fridge or something😩😩
#ask#also its funny cause i like seeing ppls drawings of seb and their mc but when i draw MY seb with other ppls mcs it feels so wrong#bc im so used to seeing my seb in my style with my clora so when i draw my seb with other mcs im like YOU CHEATER !HOW DARE U! WHERES CLORA#LMAOOO#the real reason i dont do sebxmc commissions (kidding its bc i already have a job and im lazy)#loving-him-was-red13#riskiest-biscuit

Heeyyy so sorry if this has been asked before buuuttttt.. What are ur thoughts on the sand siblings?
this made me realize i didnt include their rs in the chart i posted REST ASSURED I LOVE THEM. anyway hehehe :3
a lot of my takes on them are headcanon-based (like even more than the hyugas id say) But i assume thats what people r here for anyway. Sooooo
i really like the suna siblings bc their relationship pre-chunin exams is very, like… dysfunctional, but at the same time stable? temari and kankuro are obviously afraid of their brother, and gaara is deeply unhappy around them, but they've all clearly found a "safe" position to exist in yk?
my read on those positions is that temari actually feels more conflicted about gaara than you would think — she's the oldest and therefore the one most aware of how 'wrong' their family is — but she puts her and kankuro's safety first, therefore she resorts to appeasing gaara and generally staying out of his way. kankuro is more of a show-off and while he is afraid of gaara, it's in a more grounded way, if that makes sense? he taunts him like one might taunt an angry dog, he's afraid of him because of what he can do, vs temari who dreads being around him because she's aware of what gaara carries on his shoulders and Represents
i actually 👉👈 have a suna family-centered fic i've been slowly working on 👉👈 that ive been too shy to mention on main LMAO but since we are on topic here u go [link]. it's yashamaru-focused (my WIFE) but it brushes upon the entire family :3 it'll be slow to update since i've been busy with things but if u don't mind that. i mention it here since i use the extrapolations im mentioning here to write it….
aaaanyway. the kids' relationship with rasa isn't very defined (esp for kankuro and temari) but i interpret their situation as the classic… yk, father lost his soul after the mother died sort of thing. it's a bit cliche but it makes sense LOL while the only kid we know for sure rasa was cruel towards is gaara i don't find it a stretch to expand it towards the other two, even if it wasn't as extreme.
so, with that in mind: my personal interpretation is that temari — in addition to getting the usual heir responsibilities — got put into a caretaker role for kankuro, pushing her towards cynicism and self-preservation above all else (she's also the one most likely to remember their mom, and an early loss like that can push one into hyper-independence), while kankuro was left with a bit less pressure but as a tradeoff grew hungry for acknowledgement, eventually feeding into him becoming a bit of a bully as he gets older. i think he was the one with the most... "normal" relationship with their father, but i wouldn't necessarily say that's a good thing lol
gaara is in a unique position because he was not fully raised by rasa, and his relationship with him is a lot more shallow and extreme as a result. instead gaara ended up being built into who he is almost exclusively through yashamaru's kindness and subsequent betrayal — and this is only accentuated imo by the fact that gaara does not (iirc?) at any point willingly bring up yashamaru. he badmouths his father and blames him for who he is, but the formative moments of gaara's childhood that we see are of him with his uncle. isn't that interesting? to me it reads like that's still a wound so deep he can't even bear to acknowledge it; rasa treats him like a monster so gaara is free to spit poison back at him in return, but gaara did wholeheartedly believe his uncle loved him at a point, and the idea that he did not was so world-shattering that he can't even bring himself to acknowledge his existence
all that being said, gaara as we meet him in the exams treats his siblings like strangers and i can't fully blame him for that; while the compounded traumas of 1. losing their mother and 2. the shift in rasa's disposition, cannot be understated, i think what truly "broke" the siblings' dynamic is the way gaara was likely forced into kankuro and temari's lives after yashamaru died. while they'd certainly met before, there's a world of difference between knowing you have a distant, troubled younger brother vs having that brother violently placed into your home in his most vulnerable state after another familial loss.
(yashamaru's rs with his other niblings is never really touched upon but i do think about it often. he was so close to their mom i doubt they had no relationship at all! but that's. you know. what the fic i mentioned is for.)
it inherently puts the kids into an adversarial position, especially with how rasa doesn't try to argue for gaara's humanity. so gaara, freshly traumatized and distrusting, is met with siblings who are terrified of him and a father who he knows wants him dead. to make things worse, yashamaru (my king.) made sure to crush whatever goodwill gaara still had towards the world before he died, so there's no part of him willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt. no one has any interest in fixing this situation so this is the dynamic they settle into.
yet! they are still family and there are certainly glimpses of that. one of my favorite moments is temari looking out for gaara for, in our pov, the first time
it's really simple but it always gets an emotion out of me, it's why i think their relationship bothered her the most… one of my biggest gripes with the suna siblings is honestly that we just don't get a lot of them after a point! i would have loved to see them getting closer after gaara takes the first step in closing the distance.
kazekage retrieval arc is easily one of my favorite arcs in naruto it's soooo sweet to see kankuro and temari fighting so so hard for their baby :( i really like the quiet moments where you can tell there's still a lot of guilt over how things were, i wish we got to sit with it a little more because part of the reason i like their bond so much is because of those moments of doubt, you know? i think it's far more powerful for gaara to wonder if he's been fully forgiven, for temari to grapple with the guilt of not having been a good sister to him, than for them to easily slip into a healthy and stable dynamic as a trio.
how do they feel about their father? their mother? how do they feel about their uncle? they are three different people with similar but not identical experiences with all of them, and it makes you wonder how they might navigate unpacking all of that while not jeopardizing their fledgling bond. for example i'm personally a huge fan of gaara coming to view his uncle in an imperfect but ultimately empathetic light, while his siblings see little reason to extend him so much grace.
their personalities in shippuden make a lot of sense to me taking their upbringings into account too; kankuro and temari are predominantly rasa's children, and therefore have rougher edges and are way more averse to earnest displays of affection. gaara meanwhile had yashamaru's influence in his formative years; he knows how to articulate his emotions and acknowledges the importance of sincerity and kindness. i dunno if this was intentional but i think it's a neat detail!
soo much of the suna family follows this pattern of love breeding resentment (rasa's love towards karura breeding resentment against gaara, yashamaru's love towards karura breeding resentment against gaara and rasa, gaara's love towards his uncle being twisted into hatred against the world, the siblings' love for each other being corrupted then saved) it's sooo. chef's kiss. again my only complaint is that we don't see more of them. literally who cares about konoha i want to be in suna forever
