Thoughts on Korekiyo? (Ik the writers did him so dirty, but he’s such an interesting concept imo)

Oy vey. Oy vey.

“Wasted Potential” being thrown around as a concept in this fanbase really drives me up the wall. I’m going to let you in on a little secret, friend, and please don’t think of me as an asshole, buttttt:

EVERYONE WHO DIES IN THIS GAME WAS WASTED POTENTIAL.

And that is the damn point. These characters? They were all fabricated and tropey versions of the actual person who was killed. For a TV show that has gone on too long.

Korekiyo, being what he is, is someone we never knew throughout the game. Oh, we can speculate on who he is based on this fake backstory and how he acts, we can interpret what we like, but we will never know. That’s why I said the ending to V3 is particularly stinging. If you were invested in a character during this game, it was a fake investment. It was built up, overhyped, and you were into a character modeled for a tv show, blown up with his trauma and “revelations” of a possibly abusive and obsessive relationship with his sister.

But what do I think about the Kiyo we’ve seen in the game? Yeah, I like him. He’s freaky, over the top, purposely creepy and strange. Lots of fun. Especially since he’s just that character out of the bunch that you knew would kill someone like Celeste and such.

Is he “wasted potential”? Yup. That’s the point. The point is… he’s like this to be showy and over the top. To be flamboyant for an audience.

And that’s all.

[cpericardium]

and what are these thoughts

Our third! The thunker, Voice of the Skeptic! Not a lotta doodles this time, but certainly a lotta symbolism behind his design!

My general theme was "katabasis", a mythological story about a hero who has to descent into the underworld.

Usually to help someone down there escape (like a certain imprisoned princess we might be familiar with) or to ask for wisdom/knowledge from the dead (like a certain remnant of a dead person we might be familiar with).

From there I just started grabbing whatever facets of these heroes I wanted to use:

Most of my inspiration came from the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna (more popularly known as Ishtar), because her clothing was a key component in her descent. She had to wear many layers, which were then stripped from her with every layer of the underworld she entered, including a turban, a palla dress (it became more of a makeshift pallium without the hood, because of how awkward the palla looked with the turban), a lapis lazuli necklace (became a key chain for the same reasons), A pectoral (why it has a keyhole, I'll get to later wink wink) and a lapis lazuli measuring rod.

Though it doesn't really look like your typical measuring rod, does it? It's more like a golden branch. Or, as Virgil would describe it, the Golden Bough. A golden bough Trojan/Roman hero Aeneas had to find on a tree to allow his descent.

My main motif between designs is that, because the Long Quiet is depicted as a collection of wings, all the voices need a pair of wings. Skeptic has butterfly wings and moth fur on his head, a reference to Psyche, who became Greek goddess of the soul after having also traveled to the underworld and back. I guess you can also see the soul as the true self hidden underneath and Skeptic loves his truths.

Lastly, we're going up north to the Norse/Germanic side of mythology. There we meet Baldr, a divine ball of sunshine who was protected from every form of harm by his mother, making him indestructible... except against mistletoe. It was Loki who figured out a way around the rules (like Skeptic did with the head) by guiding Baldr's blind brother Hodr to unbeknowingly shoot Baldr in the heart with an arrow of mistletoe, leading him to become trapped in the underworld. Except I made it a keyhole for recognizability sake. Skeptic, in this situation, being the one vulnerable to trickery due to a lack of information, both as the blind shooter and the shot, which gets us in the Drowned Grey.

Hero/Contrarian/Skeptic(you're here!)

had basically a free period soooo I started using my thinker thunker

undertale yellow being finished sparked so much brain juices and I decided to pick up my perseverance soul au thingy again :D

[beantothemax]

you know what? top five least favorite weapons (unique) and top five favorite non-unique weapons

hoo boy this is a thunker

LEAST favorite unique weapons up first

eins: rienfleche, legendary bow in the final chapter of blazing blade. I stand by my decision with wanting the short bow I LIKE SHORT BOWS!!!!!!!!!

二: eliwood’s rapier, doesn’t even do extra damage to nomads smh

três: glepnir, legendary dark time from sacred stones. never got a unit who had the skill needed to use it I think. holding a persona grudge against it ever since

quatre: gurgurant, mad king ashnard’s blade. it’s name sounds like the scienftidic name of a brand of beetle and does not roll off the tounge

five: blutgang, marianne’s sword you get from completing her paralogue. the sword’s fine, her paralogue just makes me want to shrivel into a raisin

and for the favorite normal weapons

une:

две: iron axe… save me iron axe… relatively cheap. powerful. reliable. my best friend in the whole wide world

έριξε: brave bow!!! Innes had one during that one defending map near the end of sacred stones and he handled an entire quadrant of the map. im so proud of him

quatro: killing edge… funny critical hits go brr

viis: steel lance :] I like its sprite in the gba games. it is pleasing

[pseudokap]

love referring to this website as anything else but this website. tunglr dot com. the bumklr. the thunker. tunkl

Adding onto my little ky-gear-teeth-headcanon thing.

I'd imagine like a Guilty Gear equivalent of FACEBOOK and people creating a Facebook group, making up the wildest shit why Ky's teeth have grown so abnormally much. Saying that he might have gotten replaced by some weird ass creature (skin walker, werewolf, vampire-). You know they got the pinboard with different pictures of him from different times comparing his goddamn teeth pixel by pixel to see how much it has grown and the red wool thread all around it along with big red circles. That shit got so out of hand it was in the papers and people straight up asked him about it (like soldiers and servants who work with him) EVEN DARYL AND LEO ASKED HIM ABOUT IT. He had to explain time and time again that no, he's not a skin walker or some faker. The real Ky isn't dead or got murdered. He told Daryl and Leo why his teeth are all like that (ofc the public doesn't know... Yet) and they also think it's fucking hilarious that there's this big conspiracy going on over some TEETH. Ky is so embarrassed by this whole debacle.

I think at the start of this going on, Ky probably panicked and thought "uh oh, they might be onto me" but then he reads what kind of theories people are cooking up in their heads and is just like "... W h a t-"

phoenix's interests outside of law (canon & headcanon):

art; genuinely fits the profile of pretentious art student at his worst, harsh critic of arts of various mediums, especially paintings and sculptures it seems. is likely a talented artist himself who allowed the prospect of making it a career fall wayside; maybe takes a commission here and there. skilled at sketching and physical media painting. definitely burned his hands on glue guns many, many times.

music; specifically and especially pianism. i would guess this probably includes electric keyboard as well. probably has some music mixing knowledge as well, though as of present is far from professional in this regard.

gambling and cardplay, especially poker and casino games. i'm going to say he's likely a fan of liars dice as well, and would enjoy cho-han if it existed in the informal japanifornia aa setting.

considering he's a "good thunker", i think phoenix just enjoys puzzles and riddles in general. kills it at crosswords too.

cycling. doesnt like motorcycles and other motorized bikes, but loves cycling.

retro tech, old internet, ascii art.

mild interest in knitting and embroidery as he ages. don't joke about it.

[idlenight]

"IM A GOOD THUNKER." Phoenix please....

Thank you for the opportunity for a Redacted Match-Up! Your questions were too much fun to answer.

I'm fixed on the reprise of "Way Down Hadestown" from Hadestown. The harmonies of the Fates are addicting to hear.

Enneagram Type 8

I don't think I've ever watched a gargantuan Youtube Video Essay, but I'm not sure that would be my flavor. I use youtube for cute animal videos, music, recipes, and comedy videos.

I didn't have an imaginary childhood friend (at least that I recall), but I was imagining stories from a young age.

To fall asleep, I'm a big fan of the "play out scenes/stories you'd like inside your head" method. It's a lot of fun. I think of it as a form of dreaming, especially now that I only rarely ever remember my dreams.

This one is hard because I quite like my name! Hmmm... I like the name Josephine. I think that's the one I'd pick.

"Comforted by Your Feisty Werewolf Boyfriend" is my favorite audio. I like how Milo is so tender with Sweetheart, encouraging them to open up about their day without having to exchange their independence for his comfort.

Guy. For me personally, I feel like there's nothing special about him, like I don't know who he is. All I know is that he's in love with Honey, and that's great, but it's like there's nothing deeper to him, nothing exciting about him.

I could recite The Princess Bride in my sleep.

I would love to be pals with Avior!

I don't know if this counts, but I start to have to search for words when I get extra tired. I'll just "um" and "uh" myself into oblivion, refusing to settle for a substandard synonym even if I can't think of the word I want.

A gas station and drink combo? Is this a regional thing? lol I'm not sure I understand this one. My favorite drink is hot water but I've never ordered it at a gas station. What should I add to it to make it a combo? Ummm... I also like pretzels! So, hot water and pretzels!?

Lots of showtunes to get hyped up!

Stupid, poorly written, predictable Hallmark-esque, made-for-TV holiday movies. I'm not sure why I like them. They are fun and cute and no matter what, you know exactly what's going to happen.

What else? What else?! I need a banger of a fact to end this incredible survey you've crafted... My favorite animal is the zebra.

Thanks again for the offer for a match-up! If you've read through this and none of the Redacted Bois strike you as a good fit (or for whatever reason- I'm sure these are time-consuming to do!), do not worry at all about skipping this one. No problem at all! Hope you are having a great day/night!

Type Eights are truly some of my favorites types of people. There’s a confidence and strength and determination that comes with an Eight, that I think pairs well and is wonderfully tempered by the easygoing charm of a Type 9w8 like Asher.

That’s why David picked Asher as his Beta and why I think he’d be a lovely match for you. Where you and David and any Eight might think that you’ve got to do everything or it won’t get done right, Asher is a lovely reminder that other people, that he can be depended on and that you don’t need to fix everything alone.

Also, none of the Redacted bois- except for Guy- strike me as musical theatre kids, but Asher is definitely the most open-minded to getting in the car for a road trip and listening to the Ride the Cyclone album in order.

Song:

You take me in your arms/ And suddenly there's sunlight all around me/ Everything bright and warm/ And shining like it never did before/ And for a moment I forget/ Just how dark and cold it gets

I wanted to be original and find a cool, obscure showtune that you definitely didn’t already know, but this one just fits too well! The vulnerability and insecurity and joy of loving and being loved by a boy as sweet, warm, and giving as sunshine- it’s also one of my favorite duets~

Runner-Ups:

David was a thunker as a second, because I think he’s a Six, and Sixes and Eights can have this lovely “us against the world” strength and mentality I really admire. Geordi, who I headcanon as a Type Two, would really benefit from your presence and good influence in his life and would also love to watch your Hallmark movies with you.

Note: I would never skip you 💖
