#anyway this has such a beautiful vibe to it

[allpiesforourown]

Hello there!

I was scrolling through your asshole roommate Bingge tag and that one poll about fake dating and well, now you got me thinking

If Shen Yuan ever gets a stalker that ends up with the EXACT SAME obssessive friend/intended lover vibes as Binghe and clearly believes Shen Yuan is HERS because she cares so much about him and his health and his happiness and what could make her dear A-Yuan than being taken care of by a beautiful woman like her, who clearly loves him with body and soul and AGAIN, she's a woman and he's straight so why not become a couple?

And also, like Binghe, she's INCREDIBLY stubborn and will not. Give. Up. until Shen Yuan is her boyfriend and completely dependant on her

What would Binghe do? How would he react? Because she has the same logic as him (except for the romance bit, but not really lol), so she's not wrong, but how can he avoid her claiming if Shen Yuan is single/unclaimed? She's clearly becoming a thorn in his side because she CLEARLY wants Binghe's place in Shen Yuan's life and heart and that. Will. Not. Do. Shen Yuan is HIS to care for, HIS to protect, HIS to love and possess.

EXACTLYYY Binghe would insist on being Shen Yuan's "bodyguard" and accompanying him everywhere. They already went together everywhere but now Binghe holds Shen Yuan's hand or keeps his arm around Shen Yuan's waist. He's not letting Yuan-ge out of reach for a second with that sicko around!

Luo Binghe catches a flash of her and immediate pulls Yuan-ge into his chest so he doesn't see her and ruin his day. Shen Yuan is so flustered by this new possessive protectiveness..

Anyway not to get dark but people would kind of tolerate this girl until she goes too far and shen yuan actually feels threatened. At first he's like "Binghe, it's just an admirer whos a little aggressive" but then she actually breaks into their house while they're out and moves things and when shen yuan shows he's scared, she's DEALT with.

Don't mess with the guy who has 1) the war god 2) a rich family that dotes on him 3) Yue Qingyuan 4) Luo Binghe. If she survives, she's VERY lucky

MUSUTAFU in my mha dr

now playing...black list - hime

AKA; the devils resort

GEOGRAPHY

"when i hear that song, i wanna be with you"

musutafu (MST) prefecture is an island off the southern coast of japan located in the phillipine sea. its about 500-800km away from honshu, has 25,000 mi of land and is home to 35.3 million people. MST houses the most biodiverse tropical rainforest in japan (and one of the three most biodiverse in asia) which covers the entire island. MST has mild winters and minimal snow. it rarely reaches under 60/50 degrees F (10/15C?). both summer and spring are extremely humid.

HISTORY

"buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta"

i never script colonialism clean out, i just make it different. because im always like wait if we dont have colonialism why tf are so many people speaking european languages? makes no sense right? anyways heres how it worked (in all of my DR's btw); europeans had very little power & money compared to locals who integrated with the culture (including locals of european descent) and it was more of a "leader in name" thing. in actuality, colonialism was more similar to a trade partner agreement with colonies, and colonies themselves were very hard to keep--and usually made more money and had more clout than their european counterparts. MST had this situation with spain, england and portugal. as it was an island (and a rather big one) it was already very cut of from japan culturally, economically & socially. so when the mainland went in seclusion for the meiji restoration, the europeans had already gotten full access to MST.

CULTURE

"90 degress inna the shade, temperature tun up"

linguistics the standard language is a portuguese-spanish-tagalog-japanese fusion? and more japanese dominant. no fucking clue how thatll sound.

diversity MST is very racially & ethnically diverse, with a steady flow of immigrants from all over the world. a few prominent origin points include ; south east asia, central america, the carribbean, usa, western europe, south america, taiwan and india. but of course there are many more. the natives are pretty racially diverse as well, about half of the japanese population is "afro-japanese" which is genetically similar to aetas or melanesians.

motorsports drag racing is fully decriminalized and extremely normal. so much so that entire tournaments and elaborate race tracks are built to encourage it. (partially because of the tourism it brings) but before you can do any drag racing you need a permit or license. its very normal for celebrities and heroes to drag race, theres even a yearly competition for celebrities.

lifestyle lazy, indulgent and leisurely. days are spent relaxing at a beach, vibing at a local cookout or shopping. were very friendly, open and relaxed. its a city with very big & bold personalities. most people are ambiverts and its cartoonishly easy to make friends. unfortunately the culture can be a little shallow at times.

beauty standard few are fussy on beauty standards but a visible sun tan is universally preferred. however theres two big rules: no fake tanning under any circumstance & never tan more than two shades darker. in terms of body types, both men & women with toned bodies and "nice" asses are attractive--but for women the addition of being curvy is preferred.

religion among the japanese population the most practiced religion is catholism. this branch of catholism is very heavily mixed with shintoism & buddhism though.

mardi gras/carnaval the prefectures biggest holiday. its both the best and the worst. the sense of community is a focal point, millions of people celebrating and having fun (including the sizable portion of non-christians). everywhere is packed, music is blasting and half the city is drunk and/or high. by night everyone forgets how to act. surely the busiest day for MST based heroes.

MUSUTAFU CITY DISTRICTS (16 total but im only writing for 4)

"on an island in the sun, we'll be playing and having fun"

the beach durrr the city has a ton of beaches, but this one is the most iconic, large and populated. its right in front of the cities biggest shopping center (what is basically our equivalent of times square...but not as dirty or ghetto). theres always people at this beach, hanging out, on a work break or at a cookout.

the ghetto about 2-3 districts are classified as ghettos. they have an extremely high crime rate, but low quality of life, income & rent. expect seas of street vendors, houses stacked on eachother, music playing all through the night and walls panted with street art. (urarakas district 😍)

the islands a fifteen island archipelago off of the cities coast. considered middle class or lower middle class. life in the islands is slow and easy going. many people work in agriculture or fishing so its known for food & open air markets. the islands have a fun nightlife scene but its generally more laid back. (my district)

rural district the largest district in the city. known for its rich traditional japanese culture, the abundance of natural marijuana and nature. the district is very sparsely industrialized, especially compared to the rest of the city, so its mostly jungle/rainforest. theres also so much wildlife there! and disturbingly large roaches. something cool about it is this biiig ass gate surrounding the whole district! (todoroki family's district)

all districts have a fair share of mongrels / stray dogs. many people take them in to "guard" the house, or just to care for them

people from the islands like to have cute lil sea animal mailboxes!

KNOWN FOR

"as i recall i know you love to show off"

love for sports. soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball & surfing are extremely popular (among both genders)

lots of the population has a shopping addiction

elaborate heists.

trashy reality tv.

high crime rate.

musutafuans want to go to the beach like every fucking day.

really good music.

POP CULTURE

"aserejé, ja, dejé"

GTA game based on MST

love & hip hop: MST

brazilian funk, rnb, afro beats, amapiano, dancehall, reggae, dembow, reggaeton and rap are really popular. way more than non japanese/latin pop music

real housewives of MST

we have golden crust, jollibee, mama empanada, and kfc but no mcdonalds 😬

havianas are really trendy.

im actually considering scripting my version of MST in some of my other DR's (idol dr especially) but im on the fence.

if any of this inspired you your free to include some for you dr <3

oh sam i'm so glad you @'d me

in terms of references, i wouldn't say that i saw any direct one-to-one references to utena, but you can certainly see similarities or draw parallels or areas in which they are similar. there are a lot of things that ping me and make me go, oooh, utena, but i can't say for certain if TM had utena in mind while writing. the canaan house duels (ESPECIALLY the one between cam & marta), for example, are very reminiscent of utena duelling over and over again, but i don't think that's necessarily a Reference To Utena; it's just that they have some similar Vibes.

utena spoilers to follow

that said. the imagery of the coffin, in particular, gives me a lot of flashbacks to utena. in tlt, harrow talks about finding alecto's corpse as a suicidal child and saying she was beautiful, saying that she wanted to live forever in case she woke up. she breaks into alecto's tomb just to see her and look upon her. harrow, despite her religious fervor, is a ninth house heretic; she breaks into the tomb that alecto was imprisoned in by a man who used her against all doctrine of the world she's been raised in. she does this despite the stories she's been told about how necessary it is that alecto stay inside her tomb.

contrast to utena:

utena, as a child, is deeply and intensely suicidal over the death of her parents. she is found by a princely man, who she then follows to find anthy himemiya, who cannot die and is in constant pain, imprisoned at the heart of the world. (this state of being is shown as being run through by swords; she also is shown in coffins in this state.) utena is told the story of Why this happened and How, how anthy took on the suffering and burdens of her brother (the prince), who frames the resultant state as anthy's "punishment for taking him away from the girls of the world", as she took on all of human hatred to protect him- i think dios literally says she sacrificed herself to save him. utena is aghast by this story and becomes determined to be anthy's prince to save her. she later does this by ripping open anthy's coffin and freeing her. like.... there are some parallels here, i think? especially with the repeated use of the coffin throughout the story.

i think another great parallel example is of mikage. mikage has spent so much time in denial (and being manipulated by those around him) that he truly doesn't remember what actually happened (which is ... not helped by ohtori being so timeweird and the lack of clarity on whether or not mikage is even like, alive. lmfao). he doesn't remember mamiya is dead, he believes anthy is mamiya, there's some compelling parallels there to harrow in HTN papering over her own memories to save herself from grief. but idk if that's not too much of a stretch.

anyways. watch utena im so srs. free on youtube with subs now

hey just asking you cause u seem obsessed with tlt and might know this. do you know if theres any revolutionary girl utena references in the locked tomb?

i am obsessed with tlt - thank you - however i dont watch much anime and lack the utena knowledge. perhaps @vriskadyke would be able to tell you

[sandersontheside]

contrary to what you may think “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” from Hercules is not the Disney love song for prinxiety. the titular track from Beauty and the Beast is. not only because the lyrics hit:

“barely even friends/then somebody bends/unexpectedly/just a little change/small to say the least/both a little scared/neither one prepared”

“bittersweet and strange/finding you can change/learning you were wrong”

but also because Virgil is initially perceived by the other sides as a villain, as monstrous, and his arc is all about acceptance both from them and from himself, learning both to love and to be loved. Just like Adam/Beast. and because Roman is Belle coded—head in the clouds and obsessed with stories, craving adventure and desperately looking for something more than this provincial life. you get it.

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

victorian style haunted house that has dysphoria about not being an open concept minimalist hellhole, before we even have those, so it doesnt know why it just feels sooo miserable and has to lash out at everyone inside it, so its wretched and haunted the whole time, until its finally bought by a house flipper in the 2020s who knows JUST how to fix it
