#but still relevant imo 😔

[vonkarma2]

on here the arcane tag is all jayvik posting. whereas on the reddit the top posts are all like memes about the plot or something + I would say majority are about the female characters its bechdel test central over there. and all the thirst comments are about caitvi. it makes the reddit seem so feminist it’s crazy

[just-null]

what’s your favorite clone and why? 😼

I gotta be that guy and say I really like them all. i loVE EACH ARCHETYPE THEY KINDA RESEMBLE

Sekido [in my head] has a mean exterior SO loud it makes you forget he's working with the others to actively protect the main body and has faith in their abilities. He gets annoyed at his younger counterparts cause he knows they're not using their full potential... I also really like how he's both very proper and improper, like a thug in a meeting or something... so cool.... Also, him taking the leader role and everyone going with it has big bro vibes.. oldest bro vibes.

cult leader loves tsundere guys.

Karaku [in my head] is the thrill seeker type who's more than willing to be the most annoying man around for the sake of his entertainment and living in the moment. He plays around rather than disposing of someone immediately like a fucking psychopath. Even if late, he knows when to get serious and when to tone down his antics. he still gets fucked over by playing with his opponents too much.. I like that he's not stupid, he's reckless. mega "cool big bro" aura.

cult leader loves shameless guys.

Urogi [in my head] is obnoxious and loud, boastful even especially when he's either screeching or talking, never entirely silent. While he does fight on his own, he'd drop everything if given an order and try his best to comply. also a troublemaker... like a younger bro who never really has responsibilities but does them when told so he can go back to doing wtv he was doing before. Like he's just there to have a good time. He's also not stupid, just excitable, then he gets cocky, then gets his shit rocked.

cult leader loves arrogant himbo guys.

Aizetsu [in my mind] is extremely sassy and gives passive aggressive vibes and prefers to deal with conflict swiftly because it's bothersome and makes him upset. He might look cute and weak, but he's scary. While he's sensitive, he's no pushover and will also cut pretty deep. He's definitely the younger brother who's trying to constantly get out of trouble by seeming like the angel.... It's also interesting because he never sugarcoats his words. He twists them in a way that makes him sound helpful and you, pitiful.

cult leader loves cute manipulative guys.

Zohakuten [in my mind] is a little hater who's most protective of everyone but, more importantly, the main body. He sees himself as a decent guy going against injustice for a man who's just trying to survive. Like a little bro who's stubbornly wrong about something he doesn't fully grasp. Also he's just so hilarious?? it was not necessary at all to insult your opponents looks then tell tanjiro to get over it cause the dead weren't relevant to him. How can someone so disrespectful come in a small package..

cult leader loves the brat trope.

Urami is pretty similar to hantengu, imo, just angrier 😔😔 not many opinions, but I do find it amusing to imagine he's very passionate 24/7

[jadeazora]

I feel like some of us have that region that isn't "for them", and Galar was DEFINITELY that region to me:

Like, the story was pretty boring thanks to the hyperfixation it had on Gyms. And then when something interesting would happen, Leon would show up and redirect you. I get what they're going for, he's their unbeatable Champion and it's nice he's getting involved with the affairs of his region, but it came at a downside. (I feel like Alder was better since the player still felt relevant to the plot, even tho he was pretty active and involved too.)

Most of the major characters just weren't utilized well, fell flat, or annoyed me (tho there's some I liked, like Sonia, Piers, and Raihan) Like, we FINALLY have a jerk rival after two decades, and he's forced out of the plot midway in (due to his own decisions, but still wanted more with Bede), and I think Marnie only really got as popular as she did because of her design, because she's kinda forgettable personality-wise. 🤷‍♀️ There's way more going on with Piers imo. Hop was ok, but I think they could have done a bit more with him. (Maybe if they had explored him growing up in Leon's shadow more?)

I feel like this is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but I just never vibed with Leon and the way the games and anime shilled him just always rubbed me the wrong way. He's not the worst Champion, that still goes to Geeta, but between how the games just use him to redirect the player and the character-shilling, I just kinda found him annoying. 😔 (I tend to not really like showboaty characters most of the time, tho there's a few exceptions like Alastor. I feel like if they got the charisma to back it up, I might end up liking them, but sometimes, it just comes off as kinda lame instead. Imo, the charisma is there more for anime Leon over the games version.)

The idea of minor League Gyms was neat, but we never really got anything with them until Klara and Avery. Like, we can assume Allister/Melony and Bea/Gordie were minor League depending on what game you play, but in the games they're not Gym Leaders, they don't even appear.

I also hated them forcing me into a Gym Uniform in-game for those battles/League fights. (Let me keep my drip, dammit.)

The villain plots ticked me off. I've already gone after Rose a couple times in this blog, but if the energy crisis had been a few decades away, I could understand the rush and frustration with Leon, but 1000yrs was way too big a window. The Royal Brothers are meant to be annoying and ridiculous, and they definitely hit their mark there.

The box Legendaries were the most boring duo for me (They're not Pokemon I dislike, they're fine. The other box Legends were just cooler. I like the more eldritch Mons tho, so I really loved Eternatus.)

The base game's wild area felt really limited and small once you find your way around. The Crown Tundra's was way better, not to mention Paldea's.

I didn't really care for the Dynamax gimmick. (I've always been a Mega Evolution guy tho. Gigantamax could be cool, I think I just like the alternate forms.)

I will say that the DLC improved quite a bit imo. I liked characters like Peony and Mustard, the exploration was an improvement and the quests were fun, and it was cool seeing the interactions between Gym Leaders and such in the Galarian Star tournament. They also get bonus points for bringing back two of my favorite Pokemon, Volcarona and Magnezone. (I also feel like the Galar-original Mons were pretty good overall, and same with the clothing options.)

But like, by the time we got out of Gen8 and into Paldea for everything (well, the games and the anime anyway, wasn't the biggest JN fan either, I still have to catch up on Adventures), I was so happy. Technical issues with SV aside, I've enjoyed Gen9 a lot more overall.

[ubtendo]

Now that I'm finally though with DBZ here a some ver general bullet points I made while watching of things I'm still thinking about after watching the whole thing (- the movies, I'm still gonna catch up to them) in a somewhat chronological order

The fact that we had that Goku and Gohan eyecatcher for 200 episodes and Gohan wore that outfit for 5 episodes at most

Every jump or dodge is on an olypmic gymnast level of complexity, like why was Goku doing so much when he jumped down from the Nimbus to face Raditz? Did he learn that from Kami or what?

Saiyans wearing only slips under their armor

Nobody mentions the complete colour change of Vegetas pallete from his first appearance; red head Vegeta will always be true to me 😔

I'm still not sure if they ever restored the moon after the second time they blew it up

How is Yajirobe getting up and down Korrins tower? I know he has a flying car, but where does he park it?

King Kai's presence as an unreliable narrator irritated me somehow

I don't get how Yamcha's death is such a meme? Like I don't question it's existence but him getting dragged so much even though there were way funnier deaths imo

I think this was also the last time Chiaotzu was relevant in any form

Why introduce the Saiyans as this cool alien giant monkey race if you never go anywhere with it after the Saiyan saga?

Vegeta crying out all the pent-up frustration from being used as a slave by Freeza at Goku's feet and Goku being emotionally unavailable to the whole thing

There is no way Goku would have been able to start Freeza's ship if it didn't crash into the core, I refuse to believe his button mashing had any thought behind it, that man does not know how to start a spaceship

The sounds of the planet exploding everywhere while Goku and Freeza are fighting haunt me

Bulma is so freaky for flirting with Porunga

Death has literally no consequences

Popo and Kami running for like an entire episode while Piccolo Gohan and Krillin were fighting was so funny

Also, Popo and Kami are a married couple, don't come at me. I'm just stating the facts

Freeza coming back from death and introduced back as this bloodthirsty entry out for revenge along with his father, who we've never seen before, only to be cut up by a teenager with a cool sword immediately upon arrival

So many situations and problems could have been avoided if Goku actually properly used Instant Transmission and I'm not fighting on that one

ChiChi must be the most loyal and faithful person on the planet if her man is dead or absent throughout most of the time

The whole drivers licence episode is peak to me

Piccolo telling Kami he needs to fuse with him again, Kami rejecting the idea saying he still needs time to think about it then agreeing immediately after 5 seconds

I don't get the logistics of Trunks hair growth. At the same time, boy drop the routine

The super saiyans of the Cell Saga were peak designs

Somehow Goku being really relaxed the days before the Cell Games really unsettled me

ChiChi saying thery were late to Kame House because Goku left them in the car and non of them knew how to drive while KRILLIN, who we have seen driving a car in the beginning of DBZ, was sitting in the back; I guess he just didn't want to drive with ChiChi

What's the purpose of the guardian of the Earth again? Except the making the dragon balls neither Kami nor Dende ever really did anything

When I first saw 16 all those years back I was judging him hard, but he has grown on me a lot

Imagine getting hit so hard by a 11 y/o that you start throwing up people

Except 18, there aren't any female fighters. I wish ChiChi would have stayed one

The new eyecatcher, especially the one with King Kai and Goku is so funky I love it

Goten and Trunks are a better depiction of children acting their age then Gohan was (tbf he was casted out in the wild for a year on his own but I digress)

Goku speaking to his son from the dead after 7 years of silence, only for him to announce that he basically has a day off from being dead and wanted to join a fighting tournament because he is bored

I had to stop and sit for a moment after hearing Daboras english voice

Vegeta really said "I started loving my life and I hate the fact that I love my life so I'm evil again"

Out of all the traumatic events happening in the series, Goku yelling at Goten and Trunks to stop whining after they learned that Gohan and Vegeta are dead has to be the worst one

"Super Saiyan 2" "Super Saiyan 3" Man just give the forms actual names

I didn't like SSJ3 at the beginning, but I've come to like the neanderthal look of it

Piccolo throughout the whole Buu Saga was peak, man was so lost and terrified

Also the interactions between Gotenks and Piccolo

Gohan and Goku playing catch with a sword and a boulder probably counted as "Father-Son bonding time" to Goku

Gohan and Buu getting in the same fighting positions as Goku and Vegeta did in their first fight wss actually really dope; I was kicking my feet on the bed

I've cried tears of laughter when Tien showed up for half an episode, almost died and then left

They should have used Solar Flare way more often

This is so random but ChiChi, Bulma and Videl chilling with Dabora

Goku and Vegeta throughout the whole saga had me like🤨

Vegito 💖💕😮🫵💖💕💞

Humans are the worst race in every Sci-fi; they get told that they only have to raise their hands to save the universe and they still don't do it

If Goku and Vegeta had a mad make out session after the fight with Buu I wouldn't have been surprised

People get shot in the right shoulder/chest way too often; PICK AN OTHER SPOT THE HEART IS ON THE OTHER SIDE

Everyone has goldfish memory. They keep forgetting things that have been established MULTIPLE TIMES

Ngl, the end had me a bit emotional

Aaaahhh, sorry for the long post. I got way too enthusiastic about the whole show because I really loved it 😔🥺

chengqing

What made you ship it?

Back then we were thinking about people to ship JC with, and WQ existed. Since then, Untamed gave our little crackship food. And since then I also started OTPing Chengxian and the core transfer has been a object of easy fixation. It would be inaccurate to say that I started shipping Chengqing because I started shipping Chengxian. But I certainly ship Chengqing through a certain amount of WWX feelings - not only Chengxian, in fact.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

sometimes a mad scientist performs a secret, impossible experiment on someone who doesn't know what's going on and they get together afterwards, and suddenly there's this huge, grotesque thing between them.

I think they should kink on it, but I also think JC would deal very badly indeed with WQ's involvement in the gc transfer. (in my mind she doesn't tell him until she has no choice/it comes out.) I can't overstate how much I adore the kink (in a wide sense) potential between them.

they get one another, about duty and family and keeping the people you care for close and safe and not trusting easily.

also - this is notably less my thing - but I think they'd be good at taking of one another when they're not tearing each other apart for the heavy topics (they agree on duty, but that doesn't mean it would never come up in a bad argument, and the core transfer reframes everything there - suddenly wq has very little room to argue about her dutifulness! you were rearming a direct enemy of your sect babe! you were 100% betraying your sect!)(unless: and I think this is juicy: unless WQ explains that she expected JC to die after the core transfer. no JC with a core, no betrayal.)

and yes also chengqingxian, or at least wq and wwx being besties.

also very into the age-gap between them. she's older! she's already respected and established and a wordly grown-up! it's not relevant to post-canon chengqing except as a contrast to how things were back then, which is still very interesting, but in a canon divergence where the Wen siblings go to Lotus Pier, or sth like that, I really like the idea/image of WQ's crush on JC. it's funny and it's cute and look I think JC should get a win. The win in this case is WQ horny-clamping her jaw and respecting him. his brains. while looking disrespectfully.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

...this is very dependent of "what-ifs" but: I don't think JC would be totally okay with WQ and WWX's relationship.

He's deeply insecure when it comes to people loving him, and WWX betrayed his trust and convinced WQ to go along with it. (in Untamed it's made worse by the fact that JC and WQ already knew one another.) For me, WWX and WQ get one another to a level that other characters don't, I'm only 10% kidding when I call them soulmates, and imo JC would not be able to deal with that very well unless it's solved in Chengqingxian. (which I think he'd shoulder better because they're both here; if WWX is with LWJ it's... it's not exactly YZY while JFM is thinking of WCZ and CSS, but something like that. to me. I do think he'd be jealous.)

less unpopular than it seemed at one time, but bears repeating that it's fine for WQ to neither peg nor dom JC. I mean I'm failing to write that but I think WQ needs and wants to be pampered from time to time. Otoh I also think she's a lot more likely than WWX to tell JC what she needs, since her self-image isn't all twisted up in being better-than-jc at all times.

I clearly didn't try hard enough to keep WWX out of this answer.😔

[noramthe]

My tier-list of p:eg character after ch1!

SPOILERS PLS DONT LOOK IF YOU DIDNT FINISH CH1

So nothing changed much

The changes

1-kai moved up from A to S

2-Eva and diana moved up from C to B

3-Eloise and wolfgang Moved down from B to C

My favorite will forever be damon my beloved i love him more and more every-time i see him. He’s such an interesting character and protagonist most of all. And i hate when people reduce his character to just an egoist asshole. This includes every character but all of them has flaws and aren’t actually “good people”. They are complex and we have seen some more then the others. Forcing a black or white on the characters is completely ridiculous imo since everyone has so much depth and complexity. I truly think that damon has good intentions but has absolutely no idea how to communicate properly. Like when he was telling the group not to trust each other, in the end why would he say that if he didn’t care about their lives?

His ideas and the way he thinks is constantly being challenged. I really wonder how he will handle conflicts and challenges to his usual way of thinking. I find the fact that he gets embarrassed about people calling him certain things very endearing😔 HES SO CUTEHBCJBCJWHHCBHD

Really looking forward for his growth (or downspairl? Idk😭) I’m sure he wouldn’t have sounded as rough as he is if it weren’t for the situation they are in); but i guess so is all the characters

Kai i loved a lot before but since I didn’t know much about him wasn’t sure if i should put him to S. But ofc after this chapter he deserves this spot sm!! I’m really happy with his screen time this chapter and didn’t hesitate to make him my 2nd fav!

Poor baby has a lot of self confidence issues☹️ i relate to him a bit. It’s the reason i love him and damon bcs one moment I’m thinking about something and the other they say the exact same thing I’m thinking/feeling haha

I’m really proud for kai honestly. I feel he really proved himself this trail by bringing good points and noticing things that I haven’t. I was cheering for him the whole time🥹

Surprised at how his character turned out. When I read his description before the prologue was released. I thought he’s going to be a really awful two faced character?? Instead we got the most adorable whiny crybaby GOD I LOVE HIMM never change kai. I will always love you

Still waiting for mark to appear more i love him sm he’s so relatable fr fr. I love his design and his little beanie(i have a soft spot for characters that wear beanies)

His little remarks were really funny. And the fact that he was kinda being the only sane guy between the chaotic group😭 love you king i hope he’s gonna be more relevant later

Cassidy the queen!! Love her she’s so fun😩 but pls sweetie there is a time and place for jokes girl😭(still adore her)

Desmond and ulysses love their chill vibes sm and definitely enjoyed their appearance on this chapter!(wish they could’ve appeared a bit more)

Diana grew on me this chapter! I appreciated getting to know her more honestly while i felt really sad for what happened to her on this case I don’t agree with what she did when she is trying to take Wolfgang's place when him acting like this was probably one of the reasons he died in the first place (i still understand girl is traumatized to hell and doesn’t know how to cope)

Eva.. god what can i say about this girl

I felt so many different types of emotions for her and even though i was hurt by her betrayal sm because i really loved her and wanted to trust her but god i just feel so bad for her. Cried really hard on her execution girl really felt like she was doomed from the start and even when people showed her kindness she didn’t focus on it just because of how many bad experiences she had that it overclouded her positive experience with damon and diana🥹 she really deserved better (the reason she’s not higher is because im still really hurt by what she did my emotions literally is like a roller coaster)

Ok i will not talk about everyone in c but i will say why i put down two of them

First Wolfgang

I actually liked him in the prologue! But this chapter he somehow annoyed me a little. He seemed a bit controlling so i was wondering what’s up with that. Also him being weird when they were investigating the pharmacy place, when he was thinking about the drugs being dangerous and damon agreed with him and suggested hiding them he immediately just changed his mind?? Tf?

Personally i was a bit terrified of him this chapter but not for long I guess☠️☠️(rip)

Now eloise

This chapter definitely showcased more of her personality. I thought in the prologue she was going to be a shy girl but this chapter definitely proved me wrong-

I don’t mind her but i feel i became less interested on her honestly. Like yeah she’s kinda cool but didn’t really catch me that much

So the don’t care category is as you expect… I don’t really care about these characters nor their designs. Just simply didn’t catch my attention. Sorry.

And finally the kinda annoying category

I know there are a lot of grace fans out here. It’s just she’s not for me

I find her a bit annoying and i personally only like annoying characters when i think they are funny (sorry grace😭)

I just never found her amusing and the rare times where she is chill is the best times for me.

I really don’t like her kind of personality that are really screaming or angry a lot or are really aggressive. She annoyed me in the prologue and i still find myself annoyed by her. Her relationship with wolfgang was cute imo but then he died and now she’s insufferable☠️(listen i get it. They were close and she’s sad he died. Didn't stop me from being really annoyed w her)

*sigh* thank you for hearing my ted talk

I typed so much and deleted so much my arms hurt.

[hexhomos]

should I play leauge (and/or other lol relevant games like LoR or TFT) just to satiate my desperate need for jayce and viktor content 😔

If you're new to league, i guess what i need to stress is that PC league is a very demanding game and i didn't have fun with it at all until playing with friends. Theres also no good ingame tutorials! You need to search up everything and sometimes watch videos like its homework. If you're looking to get into it for lore reasons - the ingame doesnt have much to do with character beyond voicelines and animations (at least for j/v atm). Be aware of that!

If you legit want to play the *game* though, you should try out Wild Rift on mobile as a starting point. Its the modernized/streamlined experience for phones and you can get a much better idea of how the game plays and what the objectives are that way, plus a lot of the old characters are updated and it looks v pretty. Ive spent a lot more time enjoying myself on WR and can even do rankeds/competitive mode there. Viktor still hasn't been added to roster there but hes frequently requested, it'll happen eventually.

Jayce is currently an unit you can play with in TFT! (The roster of characters changes every few months, but you can play that on your phone and its a good timewaster imo)

[owls-den]

Hii. What is your opinion on the pokemon XY anime gang?

Hi! Thanks for the ask!

Oh man, I have a lot of thoughts regarding XY! Let's see...

Ash: I like the way he was portrayed this season honestly. He was very likeable and went through a lot of key character moments especially thanks to his Greninja. I had multiple moments where I just told my friend "man he's such a cool guy". Very good portrayal of his character :))

Serena: I'm a bit mixed with Serena. I like her but also feel like she didn't have as much character as any of the female protags before her. I liked her character arc but it felt a bit rushed weirdly enough? There was also a lot of fanservice around her which felt a bit weird (and the romance with Ash was... Well, no shade to Amourshippers at all but I did not see the chemistry. It felt like they didn't want to commit with it. If anything she had more chemistry with Aria imo) and in the finale everyone had a role except her (Bonnie was calming Zygarde, Clemont was taking care of the Lumiose tower, Ash was battling Lysandre but... Serena was just... There.) All in all I like her but she feels a bit like wasted potential? Of course that is merely my opinion on the matter. I think she improved dramatically in her small appearances in Journeys <3

Clemont: I love this little guy! He has such a nice bromance with Ash! His catchphrase and the ensuing running gag somehow always gets me. I just like that they committed with the character. He's very distinguishable from Cilan and Brock which is a plus in my book and gosh, his role in the finale broke me. I cried twice and the Citroid "death" was one of them. Clemont makes me happy :))

Bonnie: I honestly really like Bonnie! She was well written in my book and she had a lot of moments where my cynical ass had to sit down and say "... Yeah, that's cute actually". She fills me with uncontrollable cute aggression (that feeling when something is so adorable you just have to squish like bug) especially with the way she was with Zygarde. Remember how I said I cried twice during the finale?... Her singing to a rampaging Zygarde was the second time.

Some minor characters below!

Professor Sycamore: I love that he appeared often although his plot relevance is more in relation to Alain than it is to Lysandre in this. I'm a bit sad that he doesn't actually know Lysandre before the events of the Mega Evolution Special because MAN it would have been fascinating to see him torn up between the man he loves as a dear lover friend and his son assistant! Loved his dynamic with Alain <3

Tierno: HE GOT SUCH A GLOW UP??? Like I didn't care much for Tierno in the game but NOW HE'S IN MY TOP TEN FAVE POKEMON CHARACTERS???

Shauna: Wish she had appeared more because I really liked her <3

Trevor: Such a tiny guy! I think a tiny bit of his bite was lost in the anime adaptation but I still really love his friendship with Tierno. Boy best friends!

Sawyer: I love how it introduces the concept that EXP might exist or is a pseudo science in this world?? He's a tiny guy who packs a punch and that's great for him :)) very likeable.

Miette: I want to like her and I do but this whole "love rival" was introduced and then severely underutilized 😔

Alain: Is it a secret that I love Alain? I was making fun of him a lot during my first watch, calling him a bit of an edgelord but, hey, that's how I show my love. After multiple months of intense roleplaying with my friend I ended up... Really REALLY loving him??? And now whenever I rewatch his breakdown I feel terrible inside 😢

Mairin: You know how Bonnie fills me with cute aggression? Mairin is even better at triggering it. I love her with every fibre of my being <3 Her dynamic with Alain is everything to me. (He just wants to see her smile again 🥺🥺🥺🥺)

Lysandre: Might as well talk about him! I did like his portrayal (even if the line of "protecting the professor at all cost" at the start sounds super parasocial considering they never formally met?????) and he has some crazy good moments for only being introduced in XYZ and the Mega Evolution Special. He's grand ! I still can't believe the scene where he flungs himself off of the tower exists but it made me gasp very loudly!

SORRY FOR THIS LONG POST I didn't know if you met just the main four or more soooo here are my thoughts on most of the main cast?? Anyways haha hope you enjoyed that? Overall I really liked the entire XY series especially XYZ. It started a bit slow for me but had a lot of cool moments I'll remember for a while.

[fefairys]

Was there any certain ideas that made u create the characters the way they are? I dunno how to word it right, but like, what sparked them into being?

well they're all heavily inspired by The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. !! as is the basic premise of the comic! haha i went into this a bit more in an ask on the psy blog

allow me to bring up The Chart

this was made before we started actually writing (and i replaced the pictures to be more updated later on lol), so i would no longer agree with kaido and hairo being "literally the same guys" as jett and guy. Guy is ESPECIALLY different from hairo, now. but this is a very basic look at how all the characters came into being! we wanted to make saiki k but queer on purpose, and it's uhhh a lot more than just that, now, but that was the initial intent when we got started!!

ignore the big black boxes teehee dont even worry about it ^u^ nothing to see there

if you haven't seen saiki k, i recommend it with the warning that it contains typical Anime Bullshit (worst offender imo is the incest jokes. those make me so uncomfortable i skip those sections on rewatches but luckily they r very skippable and hold no relevance to anything. the fatphobic jokes r bad too but also skippable and im just so desensitized to that shit by now) but like, for reference, i liked this anime so much i made a video essay about it. and i used to have the word "anime" blacklisted on tumblr, so me making a video essay about an ANIME means it really got into brain something crazy.

you definitely dont need to know saiki k to enjoy Psy, in fact the only difference is you'll know which jokes and concepts we stole. but i still recommend it on its own merits :) its really funny and low-stakes so its a nice relaxing watch when u just wanna have fun and laugh. also i highly recommend the dub over the sub, sorry. it's just funnier. people have attacked me for this but i stand by it. (only season 1 has a dub tho 😔)

(also hey psst if youre seeing this cause it ended up in the saiki k search and you're intrigued u can check out the comic by clicking here)

[vendetta-if]

Love love love your project oh my god! I am so excited to get to see more of the world and these characters including our jerk mom! Plus I love the powers you decided to give the mc. So two questions.

First how did you decide on the characters powers? Was it something that came natural/randomly or was that sort of planned and relevant to the plot?

Second what are your favorite IF projects?

Ooh interesting question 🧐 Some of the characters’ powers come more naturally than the others, especially those whose powers kinda related to their personalities.

Like Ash’s pyrokinesis, it’s directly inspired and correlated to their temper and impulsiveness, and Rin’s precognition to their more calculated and pragmatic personality (plus their precog really help them in leading the Aikawa branch on Elysium City; they mostly are able to stay a few steps ahead of the rivals and the law enforcements, combined with their sharp mind). Yvette’s powers of Illusions and Empathy also tie in nicely to her vain personality too, imo.

Others I require more thoughts on, especially Skylar. I struggled quite a bit in finding the suitable powers for them. Their powers definitely don’t really correlate to their personality. I want them to still exude that classic superhero vibe but at the same time, I don’t want them to have those classic and bland powers we associate with the most classic superheroes of all, Superman. So, sadly, no laser eyes for them 😔 In the end, I think Density Control is a pretty unique and versatile superpower for them and I also end up giving them the classic Flight ability to further enhance that classic vibe 😆

Others’ like Luka’s teleportation and Viktor’s power replication just honestly come out of nowhere and I can’t think any specific reasons on why I chose those in particular 😂 Also, if you guys are wondering, Cara’s ability is Doppelgänger (physically copying other people’s forms), it also required a bit more thought and kinda planned for the plot.

As for MC’s gravikinesis and umbrakinesis, it’s mostly because I personally love them and I personally like the freedom and creativity in the ways these powers can be utilized 😁

As for my favorite IF projects, there are so much 😩 I basically created a whole google doc just to keep track of all of them! If you guys are interested, I can certainly create a more curated list later on!

Since this is already a very long post, I’ll just put one IF that I personally love and has been playing on repeat but haven’t seen it talked much in the Tumblr IF community: “The Operative: Fires of Revolution” by @theoperativeif

If you guys like to play an MC who’s broken and traumatized but also is still a badass, then this is the perfect story for you! And readers who love to play ruthless MCs will definitely love it too! Here’s the link to the demo. You can also check out the IF’s Forum page here (you might need to enter the adult group for the forum to see the page).
