🏡💪 for the ask game!

🏡What is your perfect writing envrionment?

To be honest, I only write at my laptop on my desk, with some music and a bad posture. But I do mentally draft a lot on commutes and at work and in bed before I sleep.

💪What motivates you to write?

The simple answer is that I crave validation kdjashfsdj but also that I get ideas and wanna see them actually somewhere instead of vague concepts in my head. The process is very fun, but becomes extra so when there's people in the comments, ngl.

What are your thoughts on TWCFM? I've watched it so many times, and I feel like I can never form a coherent opinion about it beyond "It has a lot of stuff I like and some stuff I don't like", so it's so interesting to hear what other people have to say about it!

(Oh boy... Shouldn't have asked me about twcfm, essay incoming)

Yeah! TWCFM is a puzzler of a show cuz by all rights I shouldn't like it at all. But I do.

I'm not a huge fan of the artstyle, I don't like nudity, not the biggest Fujiko fan, and the things that happen in it (all of Zenigata, all of Oscar, the school episode, the ending? The flashbacks, the drugs) are pretty gross and I hate to see em.

YET! I love twcfm :) I sing it's praises to people and get them to watch it for themselves, and I think it has to do with the character exploration. Twcfm lets itself dig into the sadder or just more psychological sides of the characters and I think it does it very successfully!

I could (and did) talk for hours about Jigen in this show and how they looked explicitly at how lost he feels in the world. And how he moors himself so completely to anyone he thinks is a kindred spirit and who he might protect, but ends up getting hurt.

This show has one of the sweetest Goemons despite him looking like an agent of death and his interactions with Fujiko show how he idealizes people in his head and that his heart is not really one for the assassin life (like the manga said). He's almost an innocent despite all his crimes.

Lupin... I was so surprised when he pulled his first goofy face in the show. The style made me think he might just be serious and mean. But he's funny! And his dynamic with Jigen and Fujiko is sooooo good. This show really helped my understanding of his and Fujiko's relationship.

FUJIKO! Wow they did so right by her here. Before I knew who had directed it, I had to think a woman had some significant hand in this show because though the nudity is gratuitous, it's powerful and it's in Fujiko's control. She's never bashful or ashamed, she's comfortable at all times and uses that comfort as a weapon against those who are trying to objectify her. Plus, we get the introduction of her character thesis (for Koike but I like to carry it over) which I really like: forget the past, who you are is based on your choices in the present. For a character whose look and identity are so amorphous across the series and in her line of work, I liked that her power came from fundamentally being herself.

Plus! She's so capable and has such an interesting relationship with each of the gang members. I loved seeing her battle wits with Lupin and keep up/get the upper hand! I've always thought that her betrayals and the fujilup dynamic would be much more sympathetic for Fujiko if we saw it from her pov. And it's true. They're having fun. I just wish more episodes from her pov existed so we could really appreciate her. Plus, even though it's artificial, it's good to see her with some internal conflict. Hehe I'm terrible and am always a sucker for some self-loathing and Fujiko gets that here.

Overall for the ending, I'm glad we didn't actually learn her backstory. Initially, I felt cheated but now I think she's the kind who works better without some sob story or any canon background at all tbh, and it works so wonderfully with the show's forget your past thesis. She is herself and that's inherent. For all this show's gritty look and content, it's actually quite soft I think.

Good thing there are only four main characters in the show! Can you imagine if they had tried to make a gritty Zenigata? Yikes, that could have been a disaster :)

Widow

1) I have the new Nova skin on widow as of now2) Probably Talon or Nova, i like the hair3) I have the mistletoe one equipped right now that I bought immediately once I saw it4) I like curtain call, because if you do it next to a wall you can see her butt ;;)5) For the voicelines, I like the french ones because her actress is amazing6) I have 48 hours on her and practice trickshotting/flicking/sniping for 15 minutes before i get into a game7) She definitely needs more event skins and event stuff. She’s pretty well balanced, and in the hands of a good player she is deadly on attack and defence.

2, 18, 28 for the ask game :)

2. show us a picture of your handwriting?

I was raised on cursive, which you may still see

18. do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?

The funny thing is that though I'd like to believe in ghost, I don't really do so in any serious way, though with aliens I barely entertain the thought despite holding the opinion that, yeah, there probably is some other level of life out there in the wide open space.

So I guess I wish ghosts were real, even though I doubt they are, and I can't be bothered about aliens, while thinking they're probably there.

Does that make sense?

28. do you collect anything?

Nothing seriously. Mostly various things of what I already like. I got some vinyls and recently picked up DVDs (those partially out of necessity). I think the closest thing to a collection I have is screenplays.

Thank you!!

weee ask game!!
