New scenes for these dragons!

[nihils-trolls]

decided to spend my personal time today remaking a fullbody for this guy.

Taitos Deluge, head of the Deluge Faction and Clan

[batterygarden]

trapped in a bomb shelter with your big bro naoya

cw: big bro! naoya x fem & afab! reader, dead dove do not eat, misogyny! (and it's my kink so it's not like.. refuted), mild degradation (naoya calls u dumb), but naoya's sweet too, depression and nihilism, masturbation (both of u), sorta dubcon (tagged), fingering, and light mentions of: p in v, somno, cunnilingus, bondage, cowgirl, humiliation kink (on you), naoya being possessive, 1.7 k words

18+, minors don't interact

It’s surprising when the attack is announced how quickly Naoya moves to grab you. The gears in your mind haven’t even processed the news—that doomsday is upon you—by the time your brother has you snatched up in his arms and he’s running. 

Most of the clan’s away at a local festival—a whole kilometer’s walk from the great zenin estate and the bomb shelter your esteemed (and wealthy) clan head installed. You and Naoya are the only ones to make it in time. 

Naoya has never been the warmest big brother. In fact, there have been plenty of times where you thought you hated him. But at the end of the day you know he cares for you—even if it’s in his twisted, roundabout way. Still, enough that you were his first and only priority to shove into the little bunker beneath your estate surprised you a bit. 

You aren’t sure Naoya thought his decision out—you know he didn’t have time to properly. The way he rushed to your room and scooped you in his arms, no pit stops before locking the thick bunker door closed behind him—before anyone else had the chance to join. It ended up being for the best, explosions outside were heard only too shortly after—still, you hope he doesn’t regret it.

You’re nearing day 10 inside your small shelter, and if the shaking ground and dire radio warnings Naoya managed to pick up are any indicator—the world outside isn’t going to be inhabitable again for a while. 

Naoya is handling things better than expected. He’s thrown himself to small tasks—keeping the mind sharp he calls it. He’s less grumpy than he could be—resilient. Honestly the one lacking in mental fortitude is you.

“You can’t just sit there watching me do push ups. You need to move around too, dummy.” 

“Nii-san im starting to lose the point.”

“The point?”

“I don’t understand why anything matters anymore if we’re all that’s left.” 

He wipes sweat from his brow, glaring at you while he drinks some water. 

“You just said it. Things still matter because we are still here. Eventually outside will be safe again and we’ll get out and start over. Don’t get all stupid and weepy in the meantime.” 

You try to stay occupied, you try to do as Naoya says, but still, you struggle. Spending day after monotonous day trapped in here, you can’t help but start to get depressed.

Then one day Naoya says he needs to touch himself. 

And there’s no room for you to avoid him while he does. You’re uncomfortable—-giving him a look that conveys it. But he insists he has to. 

“I’m a man. Don’t be dense.” 

Before you know it his cock is out and he’s fisting it at a leisurely pace, leaning back on the bed with his other hand. You face away from him, trying and failing to focus on rereading your book. But then he says your name, and when you look he’s still exposed and hard, but he beckons for you to come closer. He isn’t satisfied with your closeness till you’re sitting beside him on the bed. 

He’s still stroking himself slowly when he says: “You need this, too. Touch yourself.” 

You freeze for a minute then shake your head. Is this some kind of test? It’s shameful…

“Saving yourself for marriage doesn’t matter anymore if we’re all that’s left. You’re practically mine now anyways, since our entire clan is obliterated. It’s just me ‘n you.”

...You need to collect your thoughts. In the first place… you’re unsure how far you could get away with disobeying your big brother. He’s been somewhat softer in the shelter, better behaved than he was outside, at least. But you haven’t forgotten the way he used to act when he didn’t get his way… conniving and nasty—you’ve witnessed his wrath more times than you can count. Notably, though, It wasn’t ever pointed at you—his attitude towards his little sister has only ever been mischievous at worst. He’d simply mock and pick apart, invade your personal space and mess up your hair—though you’re sure he’d have been much worse if you didn’t go out of your way to be inoffensive. All in all, a hard no from you now would be a first inside the shelter. 

Then there’s the honest truth of the matter: he’s right. Naoya may as well be the last person on earth for all you know, and you have been going crazy with hormones and neediness—but too afraid to touch yourself with no alone time. It’s a week after your period so you’re pretty sure you’re ovulating, and Naoya’s been walking around shirtless, acting just as touchy as always, but kinder than usual—and it’s not like he’s unattractive. 

It’s sick that you’re even considering it. Touching yourself at your brother’s command—you’re a daughter of a distinguished clan! Maybe this little bunker truly is making you crazy…

In the end, the same idea that’s been infecting your mind constantly post doomsday wins out: nothing matters anymore anyways. 

That thought is how you justify laying back on the bed beside your brother, stripped of your robes and spread-legged, two fingers pumping in and out of your pussy while you buck against your palm. 

Naoya’s sharp eyes watch from beside you, never missing a thing while he continues stroking his cock. You’re so relieved to be giving your pussy attention after so long, you don’t even dwell on how messed up it all is. 

After a while of trying to cum but barely reaching that special spot inside you to do so, Naoya can’t take watching anymore. 

“My sweet sister, how old are you, again? You can’t even make yourself cum?” Naoya tucks his hard-on in the waistband of his pants, focusing entirely on you. 

The mattress squeaks as he scoots closer, large hand around your ankle to spread you wider for his gaze. 

You stop pumping your fingers, giving him a slow stare. He frowns. “No, no, keep trying. Let me see what’s the matter.” 

So you do, working yourself up while you and Naoya watch each other, humping your palm when you get close again. You whine, biting your lip while you brush against the part inside you that feels best. Still, it’s not enough. You’re on the edge of tears searching for that release when—

“Okay, stop, sweet thing. You clearly need a man to do this.” 

You pant while you look up at him, remembering what exactly is going on here when you pull your messy fingers away. It only makes you wetter when you think of the nastiness of it all.

“Nii-san?” 

It shouldn’t surprise you when his fingers replace yours, but it does, Naoya’s warm touch with no warning earning a little jump. 

He doesn’t comment, only sets to work with his middle and ring finger sinking deep into your hole, curling right where you need them but couldn’t reach yourself, pressing his thumb to your clit at the same time. 

It feels heavenly. So good you almost close your eyes, but you can’t somehow. You wouldn’t want to lose a glimpse of Naoya—his eyes are transfixing. 

And, like always, Naoya watches you back.

His expression while he does is patient and relaxed in a way that reminds you of when he helped you with homework or something as a kid. Patient and bored if you ever struggled or needed help—like he always had low expectations for you. You suppose that’s why he had so much more patience for you than he did for other family members—your shortcomings were at times endearing while those he thought were supposed to be strong had stricter standards. 

Ultimately, an inability to make yourself cum seems like something Naoya expected of you. 

And he wasn’t lying about his ability to help—his bigger fingers fit inside you just where you need them, and it takes your brother only minutes to earn your release, clamping down on him while you make a mess on the bed, crying out and arching—after edging for so long the orgasm lasts what feels like forever. 

Noaya fucks you after that. He may as well, he tells you—he still needs to get off and it’ll feel good for you this way too. And he’s right, he may as well. It’s the end of the world and your brother may as well fuck you. And of course his cock feels amazing—it manages to feel like a solace in this bunker where nothing matters. 

After that day, miraculously, you start to perk up. Naoya figured out the key to your depression, the key to keeping you occupied—it’s sex. Everyday your big brother fucks you and every day you get better. 

Things stay interesting because when you’re fucking every day—you experiment. Or at least, Naoya does—he’s the creative one between the two of you, you’re just along for the ride. 

You wake up in knots of rope one morning with Naoya’s tongue between your legs—you’re in the middle of an orgasm. He splits you open on his cock afterwards for good measure. He lets you ride him another day, something you’re fairly sure he’s never let a woman do. You cockwarm him while the two of you read a book at the same time—it’s silly. He’s kept you tied up almost an entire day before, doing whatever he wanted, exposed and embarrassed. You’re his little cock sleeve of a sister, he says. 

“You know I’m actually glad that at least this way, stuck in here, no other clan can have you. They wouldn’t deserve you as a wife, not one of them. It’s a silver lining—this way, you’re all mine.”

Villain Shiki!! Yet another wonderful au, this time with extra murder.

Gad, with Araya being the only prolonged adult contact, Shiki's kill count is off the charts, isn't it?

Compared to zenith Shiki, is Villain Shiki stronger or weaker? I feel like she would be better at murder mayhem, but maybe less good at swordmanship because no Kiyohara? Does she still name her technique White and Nihility?

Indeed, in this AU Shiki is a lot more bloodthirsty than her zenith of stars counterpart. She's also very unabashedly upfront about it.

I think... honestly, villain!Shiki would be weaker. Araya experiments with her abilities, but he doesn't train her to fight, whereas in zenith of stars Shiki is very specifically trained by the Gojo Clan to become a powerful sorcerer. On a side note, villain!Shiki would've achieved Domain Expansion a lot earlier than zenith Shiki.

Her technique names would probably be different. Actually, villain!Shiki might not even have names for her techniques -Araya probably named some of them at one point, but villain!Shiki would reject them later on after a certain (cough) incident (cough).

Have opinions and thoughts change of the past 2 years about the MLs in LN?

practically every time they release main chapter cards!

hm, how do i explain this? i think one of the strengths of chinese otome games over japanese otome games is their commitment to a small cast where they can develop many facets of a character versus having a buffet of characters that target niche likes and so they come off as shallow or having characters who aren't allowed to develop in other directions as much because then it would encroach on another character's domain.

in my opinion, light and night does the former especially well, even among its competitors, because they try to capture the "human experience" through their male leads.

for example, in tears of themis, Lu Jinghe has a theme of freedom depicted through the conflict of his personal desires to be a roaming artist but also needing and willing to bear the responsibility of being the PAX heir, especially with his brother missing. none of the other men really have freedom themes, except perhaps Mo Yi if you squint but he's quite self-actualized and handled his family issues.

meanwhile, in light and night, everyone gets their own version of freedom trauma. Evan never had the freedom to be himself due to blood clan upbringing and propaganda, tried to die multiple times because of this, and now has terrible nihilism, has difficulty revealing his true emotions, or even fighting for what he wants.

Sariel used to have the innocent freedom of an animal and it was entering society and learning human emotions that shackled him and gave him so much guilt through responsibility that he ended up with extreme depression and tried to kill himself countless times.

Osborn's freedom started off as a curse, because he was on the brink of self-destruction without anyone to care about him and bind him to this world, but then it became a hard-won treasure after he conquered his inner demons.

Jesse craved the freedom to be himself so hard his impetus to be an actor was because he could dissociate. he echoes Lu Jinghe's themes because he also shoulders a great responsibility that he's willing to bear.

Charlie's freedom themes also echo Lu Jinghe's but worse because he's like a caged bird with his possessive father that wants to groom him to be the perfect son. but Charlie has also struggled over questions about his personhood.

anyway, this happens a lot in light and night where the men can all tackle a theme from a different angle because of their different backgrounds and it makes them feel very real. we all deal with and experience the question of what it is to be a person.

every time main chapters release, another facet of the men gets revealed in unexpected ways. i feel like i'm constantly getting to know the men deeper and deeper, and it's not just random facts about them, but rather the extent of their experiences that shaped them to be who they are now.

Themes consisting of the occult, violence, generational trauma, sexism, nihilism, ect are rampant. Please use every available resource to protect yourself, understand when following the content of certain series may cause a squick reaction or be too much. I tag everything accordingly, it is never within my desires to cause anyone discomfort. 

I prefer to write multi-paragraph to novella sized threads. One liners are usually reserved for quick but light interactions, if you are wondering how to start a thread, simply send in a prompt or like the starter calls / inbox calls. You will see them liberally throughout the blog as I strive to interact with everyone. 

I use a mixture of different anime FCs, this muse interchanges her face constantly, but I do have one main FC. You are not allowed to use me as a source for muses, icons, ect. Failure to oblige results in a softblock, furthermore, if all you do is constantly reblog aesthetics I will part ways as it shows no engagement whatsoever. Inspiration is fine, but after awhile, if our blogs are aligning too much I start to feel uncomfortable.

This blog strongly deals in topics of womanhood and girlhood. Mentions of fertility, motherhood, pregnancy, sexism, patriarchy, and misogyny are commonly found. While everything is tagged, please keep this in mind prior to following.

The story I write is solely for artistic expression, various mentions of canons, npcs, ect are present. If you do not subscribe to canon x oc shipping, that's great! Though, it will be mentioned quite often that Sayuri harbors romantic affections for particular canon characters. This isn't to force ship or demand that this be written with her, it's merely to streamline a concrete story that moves from beginning, middle, to end. If you want to write these topics, all the better, if not and you're merely here to enjoy content, great! Please don't ever think the canon story that is placed before you is something you must adhere to, it's solely an interpretation belonging to Sayuri.

If you have an issue that needs to be addressed, please reach out to me. Furthermore, no drama, no gossiping, none whatsoever. I do not care for drama that can be resolved by parties privately. If someone is a true genuine danger in the RPC than that is fine to discuss, otherwise, I come here solely to relax as my personal life is quite taxing - please respect this.

If you block me or sb me on this blog, please do so with the rest. I have zero interest in interacting with those who would prefer my males muses while having my female muse block, it just is a weird feeling altogether. Thank you!

I try to make my blog as engaging as possible, while it’s understandable we all have lives with little time to be here, please try to engage in some way. I do count OOC interactions, liking posts, ect as engagement. It’s disheartening to try and write with others only to see it head nowhere whatsoever. If you wish to start a thread over or have an interaction completely nulled in order to redo, I am completely fine with that, all you need to do is DM me.

On the topic of shipping; I love shipping! There is no need to deny it, though again, I ask that it be a two way street in order for us to better communicate. If you wish to ship romantically, please be upfront, platonic, enemies, ect, all of that are welcomed && adored. Though I only ship with one variation of a canon, ships that are inactive for two months are dropped but can be reestablished again if you reach out.

Please call me, V. I’m an enthusiastic metal fan that is currently in love with industrial, I lurk quite often due to personal obligations && am extremely easy going. I'm an extremely introverted / private person, please do not mistake my silence for anything personal, I tend to just vibe in my own little head half the time. If you wish to reach out OOC wise, do so, I genuinely enjoy talking quite a bit - I'm just shy of my own shadow. My hobbies consist of cinema, yoga, cooking, while also endlessly suffering under artistic expression.

Name: Jordanna Sparkburn Pronouns: she/her Era: High Republic Appears in: Out of the Shadows

Jordanna Sparkburn was a member of the San Tekka clan and the deputy on the planet Tiikae. She fell in love with Sylvestri Yarrow, but declined Syl's invitation to travel the galaxy together. Jordanna was tough, intelligent, determined, and had a penchant for violence that most Jedi found disturbing. She also had a vollka named Remy, a large hunting cat who could should lightning from their horns.

Check out Jordanna's profile video here!

Full profile under the cut:

Jordanna Sparkburn was part of the infamous San Tekka clan, which is how she ended up as the deputy on the planet of Tiikae. She had long, dark, curly hair; sandy-hued skin; and freckles. She was headstrong, confident, and had a penchant for violence that Jedi found disturbing. Jordanna believed that actions spoke louder than words, and was constantly frustrated with how the Jedi weren’t protecting people on the frontier. Her planet, Tiikae, had faced many struggles: a Nihil invasion, attacks from the mercenaries hired to deal with the Nihil invasion, kidnappings from the Zygerrians and the Hutts, the Drengir, and even more Nihil violence. Jordanna felt a strong duty to protect her planet, but also recognized when she was outmatched. Despite how violent she could be, Jordanna wanted to make a difference in the galaxy and change it for the better.

Jordanna fell in love with Sylvestri Yarrow when the latter was visiting Tiikae. Sylvestri saw the side of Jordanna that was humorous, philosophical, curious, and romantic. Still, she declined Syl’s invitation to leave the planet together, stating that she had duties due to her position in the powerful San Tekka family. 

Jordanna also had a vollka named Remy, a large hunting cat whose horns could shoot bolts of electricity. Remy wasn’t fond of strangers, but was very fond of Sylvestri.

In Out of the Shadows by Justina Ireland, Jordanna works with Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh during a Nihil attack on Tiikae. She goes with the Jedi to ask for help from the San Tekka clan on Coruscant. When she arrives on the planet, she happens to reunite with Sylvestri, six months after their break-up. Jordanna joins the mission to the Berenge sector with Xylan Graf, the Jedi, and Sylvestri. She admits to Syl that she regrets not accepting her invitation to travel the galaxy and announces her intentions to win Syl back. After being stunned by a Nihil attack on Everbloom, Jordanna works with the Jedi to rescue Sylvestri and the kidnapped Padawans. After returning to Coruscant, Jordanna decides to step away from her duties as San Tekka deupty on Tiikae, and to travel to Takodana with Sylvestri instead.

Since joining forces in late 2016, Chicago rappers Quentin Branch and Brian Warren have become more lyrically pointed and sonically experimental with each new release. Their 2017 debut Ok! sounds positively poppy despite the self-lacerating lyrics. By 2019 on the EP Talkshit!, the music is darker, drawing from Detroit techno and industrial music as much as underground acts like Clipping and Dälek. On their latest album, The Legend of ABM, the pair combine ferocious dexterity and radical truth-telling with the coruscating sonic architecture of producer Formants. As Andrew Forell noted in his recent review, “Rapping from within the belly of a diseased beast, the pair rely on human rhythms that dodge and weave the noise of the city ricocheting around them.”

Quentin

Philip K. Dick — Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

A lot of Dick’s novels inspired some of the writing for The Legend of ABM, especially the themes that deal with existential struggles with technology, authoritarian governments, paranoia, and consumerism. A lot of those core themes are explored in his book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Wu-Tang Clan — Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

One of the most influential albums in music history. This album taught us how to channel some of the most traumatic aspects of being Black in America with humor and charisma while being accessible to people unfamiliar with said aspects.

Charles Bukowski — Women and Factotum

Most of his poems came from the perspective of the dying working class: working while pursuing art, alcoholism, suicide, and the American dream. His books, most notably Women and Factotum heavily influenced the writing on this album.

Public Enemy — Fear of a Black Planet

This group is very significant to us. The way they infused political messages critiquing American racism and the media have had a profound effect on our own music. One project that has had a huge influence on our style is Fear of a Black Planet.

Paul Thomas Anderson — There Will Be Blood

2007 American classic directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. The film explores the dark side of capitalism and the American dream in late 19th and early 20th centuries. Similar themes are exposed in The Legend of ABM.

Brian

OutKast — Stankonia

The duo perfected the art of juggling themes of self-inflicted struggles and interpersonal relationships. They also helped me with my approach towards some of the writing process on The Legend Of ABM, especially the album Stankonia.

Kendrick Lamar — Damn

This project taught me the art of balancing the flaws within oneself and keeping a level head in a crazy world.

Safdie Brothers — Uncut Gems

A movie directed by the Safdie bros with its unique and unsettling camera speed and turbulent atmosphere gave me the inspiration to rap as chaotic as the feeling you get when watching this film.

Earl Sweatshirt — Some Rap Songs

An artist that has a profound Influence on my lyrical content as well as my approach to the artistry. His ability to step out of the box while pushing his artistic integrity to new levels is unmatched.

Coen Brothers — No Country for Old Men

A huge theme that stuck out to me was the passing of time and generational change. I wanted to make lyrics that made the listener feel as uncomfortable as Anton Chigur's cold but calculated nihilism.

Why are your favorite characters are Subaru Sumeragi and Megumi Fushiguro? What so special about them (for you)? And can you imagine how they'll interact if somehow they meet each other in the same room (can they even be friends or ally)?

In a nutshell, I like that they are both the green eyed, black haired reluctant heads of their respective highly influential spiritual warrior clans. But in all seriousness, I think they both speak very intimately to parts of me that are very prominent aspects of my personality and existence.

As a Pisces I understand Subaru's kind and ethereal nature, I feel it in my bones. I also understand his nihilism and his disillusionment with life post TB. I just don't allow myself to go there because it's dark dark dark in there. Subaru's state of mind is actually a very scary place for me to feel into, which I think plays a big role into why I prefer TB Subaru over x Subaru.

As for Megumi, Megumi's battle is my battle. Whereas I feel Subaru on a soulful level, I feel Megumi more on a sense of self level. His development feels so relatable to me. All of it, his continued undervaluing of himself despite his natural talent, his untapped potential, his bestial repressed violence, even his demonic possession.

I've shared before that I read jjk because of what it's doing to my masculine psyche and Megumi is the main reason. To the point that when the chapter with Megumi getting possessed dropped I had a very interesting dream with demonic symbolism.

About Megumi and Subaru meeting 😭🩵 I think they'd be allies! Perhaps even friends after a wile. I think Subaru would be one of those people Megumi sees as "good people". Initially he'd probably think Subaru is weak because Subaru is so forgiving and will let others hurt him if it means not hurting them compared to Megumi who has little regard for others.

They'd defo have interesting conversations on morality lol.

Thanks for the question anon 🥲!

I have a few settings and groups that are pretty fun, but I unfortunately closed off unless I know folks well enough. It's nothing personal, I just got a lot of details goin on in my brain

[tratserenoyreve]

brat behavior aside its interesting that he went from this self-entitled guy with a god complex (idk the best description of how he is as scaramouche/kunikuzushi lol) who wants the world to know him, praise and kneel under his power, to this... person who simply fades into the background. how hyv tells about him sounds as if he doesn't see himself necessary to the world anymore, uncaring, a defined version of someone completely null and neutral to perspectives. just a wanderer passing by. and theres something bittersweet about that change as redemption even if he acts like a lil shit on it dhjshfhd

what's more prominent imo is scaramouche/wanderer has been in a cycle of metaphorical and literal self-destruction. he has repeatedly abandoned and reconstructed himself and it all started with his initial abandonment by ei which led to him fumbling his way thru figuring out how to exist as anything at all.

he learned how to breathe -manually-. him breathing at all is a courtesy done to try and blend in more, people aren't willing to converse with an obviously unliving doll. without any guidance, the kind of person kunikuzushi would become was framed by two things:

- his awareness of the fact that he was made to home a divine gnosis

- that he was declared inadequate for this purpose by his creator

thoughts get long/i went on a tangent so under the cut we go!

he may have eventually developed a god-complex in his pursuit of the unattainable, being "good enough" to suit the purpose he was made for, but the foundation of it all is in fact an inferiority-complex!

this is also present in his character trailer, where it ends with Wanderer approaching kuni, who is saying he wishes he had never been made at all, and essentially replies, "is that all?" Wanderer is willing to do what he's already done before, annihilate himself until it's "good enough".

he started off trying to appeal to humanity but ironically the implication seems to be that he's so sensitive to emotions that the heartbreak of repeat loss combined with him likening it to abandonment due to his own perceived inadequacy led to him choosing Full Nihilism. everything dies, so what does it matter? he is powerless to stop those close to him from leaving (dying) and interprets that as him lacking something and assumes then that he Needs to become whole somehow. the conclusion he comes to is that he needs to become a god and do away with any trace of humanity in himself, that that is his flaw and source of all his inadequacy, that he will finally be fulfilled and complete when he stops being an empty doll.

and to do that, he will annihilate himself over and over. part of the irodori festival event is learning that scaramouche has been destroying documents related to kunikuzushi. he doesn't want any trace of that life left and blackmailed families into fearing ever mentioning his name (sidenote, scaramouche was so emotional and attached to a human that he revenge-killed entire clans). then, as the fatui's balladeer, scaramouche abandoned just about everything and embraced the "reality" that teyvat is a huge lie. he then easily abandoned his role in the fatui, arguably betrayed them, to steal the gnosis for himself. which then leads to him agreeing with dottore to annihilate all of his memories and his identity if it means he gets to be a god.

like, the Traveler brings this up. that, in order to accomplish what the sages are planning, scaramouche will destroy his own mind and have it be replaced by whatever others will it to be, he'll stop existing. and he's fine with that, happy even. because all that matters is that he gets to hold the gnosis.

he may despise ei but he still idolizes her. if you bring raiden into the boss fight and scaramouche knocks her out, he exclaims in victory. he wants to prove her wrong, that he IS fit for the gnosis, for godhood. while i doubt the writers will ever adequately explore that thread, scaramouche's story is of an abandoned child who wants to prove their neglectful parent wrong but is doing so by the standards of said parent. which is impossible.

scaramouche did a lot wrong! he was definitely a villain and openly antagonistic and totally fine with taking part in killing people off! which is why i prefer they keep those rougher edges of his, but find it neat that they are also embracing how those destructive tendencies aren't just external but something internal as well.

the Traveler will likely keep butting heads with Wanderer, which i prefer! but also i do wonder if the Traveler will continue to pressure Wanderer to preserve the memory of who he'd been for once, to try and grow rather than reset. and Wanderer possibly choosing to let go of that impossible idea of "good enough" being godhood.

In the context of Heian!Shiki au, would people outside of the clan even know what her abilities/ct are? Shiki's Nihility and meodp are pretty hard to deduce just from her usage of them; if we were outside observers, all we would see is that she can cut anything, negate ct, enter into an invincibility mode, and yet still somehow have even more unrelated OP abilities.

Does Sukuna figure it out from their battle? I think even he would be hard pressed to guess that the base concept of all of Shiki's abilities is Nothingness. He'd just be facing this uncuttable, unburnable, unbreakable demon of a sorcerer.

Hilariously enough, this description of Shiki has me thinking about Sukuna haha. We still don't have a solid confirmation on his CT; presumably it's cleave/dismantle, but there was also that fire arrow in Shibuya so I feel like part of me is still waiting for the other shoe to drop on that.

Given how perceptive and OP Sukuna is canonically, he'd probably have a close guess after fighting Shiki at least.

In Freeze The Moment, the 2nd anniversary video Light and Night released, there are frames where you can see keywords for the men and I found them extremely interesting, especially because some words seem counterintuitive to what you would apply to the men. So, here is my analysis attempt.

OSBORN

First up is our Boss Osborn and I want to talk about his graphics. You can see that he's split in half (blue and black) and in the next frame his silhouette is boxed inside layers of alternating blue and black. I believe this is a nod to his split soul—good and evil.

runaway. At a glance, this word probably gives you a negative connotation, such as running away like a coward. However, you can use it to describe something that breaks away from control and this suits Osborn better. He has broken out of the expectation society placed on him as well as his own limitations (what I also think the boxed layers around his silhouette represent). In your relationship, there are multiple times where Osborn offers to take you on a getaway trip, like running out of a rainy day (Moments) or driving to the end of the world (1st Valentine's date). In this context, running away is no longer something negative but to throw off the troubles life brings and to embrace the freedom of being in the moment.

haven. Osborn is the man to go to when you want security. He founded the bar, Weeds, to give juvenile offenders a place to restart their life. He took in strays and gave them a home. Interestingly, in addition to carrying the meaning of sanctuary and shelter, havens are also used to describe shipping harbours, so we have this extra sea connection with Osborn.

romantic. Haha, this is an extremely cute descriptor to attach to Osborn, especially because he looks like an edgy bad boy, but it's completely true because in your relationship he can only do the most classic of romantic things. For example, in his 1st Valentine's date he stuffed his jeep's trunk with roses, and in the 2nd anniversary video call he brings a balloon to you.

danger. I think this is pretty self-explanatory, but both his racing and bounty hunter profession are accompanied with danger. Also, in his 2nd Valentine's card, he tells the journalist that some people are inherently born accompanied by danger (we just need to look at Osborn's entire past, especially given how he's a mix of the Blood Clan and God Clan). The person—you—who is willing to go with him on dangerous adventures doesn't need him to do anything because you would have entered his life already.

EVAN

For Evan, after his words, the next frame shows him with bars around his silhouette, reminiscent of a cage. He's been jailed for being a smooth criminal. I believe this shows his upbringing and how he's never had any freedom.

expectation. This is a loaded word because this can refer to how he now looks forward to the future, thanks to your influence on him that gives him hope, or it can refer to his expectations for you because he's always challenging you to grow and be strong enough to stand on your own or against him.

Belief. The immediate thing that pops out here is that this is the only word, out of all the men, that has a capitalization. I saw a fellow fan bring up his reading event date, where Evan and you discuss possible words that start with B-E for a story, and ultimately you decide it must have been "Believe". I agree with this interpretation and I believe it refers specifically to your relationship with Evan, because in his sunrise date you say "Love is, even if you don't understand a person, you're willing to believe in them without reservation". Loving someone is a trust fall and for someone like Evan, who was once terrified of love, being able to love someone is being able to believe in them.

There is also the aspect of Evan's nihilism and how, due to Blood Clan upbringing being so against his nature, Evan has doubted literally everything in the world. At one point, after you do enough philosophical exercises, you will think yourself into a deep hole and realize that, in order to get out, you can only blindly believe in something.

loyalty. Evan's position in the game has always been close to being a double agent, haha. He manipulates everything behind the scenes and plays roles for both sides to the point where it's easy to wonder just who is the real Evan? I don't think it's a coincidence that all his AU roles has also played with this concept and the codename for his VR event is "Integrity". However, we can be assured that he will never put you in real harm anymore (after Chapter 16) and so I think this descriptor is a reminder that, in the end, he is loyal to you and only you.

commitment. Once again, I think this is a reference to your relationship with Evan and how, after all the push-pull tension that resulted in the climax of Chapter 16, Evan is now willing to fight for you and has committed to his feelings. He refuses to be strangers with you.

SARIEL

I don't have anything to say about his graphics, but I do think it's interesting that he is the only man who gets two screens for his words. Maybe it's to show the passage of his time?

serenity. I believe this refers to Sariel's zen-like attitude towards everything and how he believes in letting nature take its course. Out of all the men, Sariel is still the only one whose emotions rarely get agitated. He has seen so much over thousands of years that he can make peace with pretty much anything.

samsara. This is the concept of reincarnation and karma, which cannot be any more perfect to describe your relationship with Sariel. Although it seems more like timey-wimey loops in the game, we can treat it functionally like reincarnation and I will never shut up about the Möbius loop of how you went back into the past and taught Sariel about designer skills, which led him onto that path, and then makes him become your North Star, which leads you onto the path of being a designer.

reunion. I was shocked to see this word land on Sariel instead of Jesse, but I think it's ingenious in how it captures the development of your relationship with the men and the world state. Now that Sariel has recovered his memories he has truly reunited with you.

eternal. You met him when he was a child, you met him when he was a young general, and then you met him when he was a three thousand year old plus designer. Again and again, your lives intersect and you become someone irreplaceable to him. Sariel has said in his Spring Festival date that he can wait for you for hundreds or thousands of years, and in his 2nd birthday date he did a Spirit Clan ritual to mark your souls so that you can find each other again in the next life.

CHARLIE

Oh man, do I have things to say about Charlie's graphics. First, there are 5 of him that appear with his words. Second, in the next frame, you see two Charlies that flicker back and forth. I wonder if this refers to all the different roles he has (Novaten heir, firefighter, journalist, burn surgeon, "Charlie"), his dissociation, and also his twin.

utopia. From the opening for the game where Charlie says the line "A new world. I will be here waiting for you", to the album title for his BGMs being "Utopia", to his 2nd valentine's date where he gets called an idealist who suffers in the current state of reality, to all of his main chapter cards, we can see that Charlie is driven to fight against the evils of society. There is no better word to describe the goal he wants to achieve.

fantasy. I believe this is a nod to his childlike innocence and how he encourages this in you. A lot of his dates involve bringing romantic fantasties into the real world, like his magician date and his Hello Kitty date.

stratagem. This is another word which I would have thought would go to another man—the behind-the-scenes manipulator Evan—but I think it's because Evan has now stripped off his mask and is openly warring with his family. Evan's battle still requires strategy, of course, but it's not at the scale of Charlie and his father, who also have their own war. The definition of stratagem involves surprising or deceiving the enemy and, in my opinion, this has been Charlie's actions where he has to limit the knowledge his father has, such as going on the run or hypnotizing himself.

freedom. I may not have said this out loud but I do believe Charlie suits this word more than Osborn. For all intents and purposes, Osborn has already achieved his freedom and it's no longer a prominent theme with him (rather, it's just inherent in his actions) but Charlie is still struggling to escape his father's control, the contradiction between his ideals and reality, and even the weight of his name "Charlie". Freedom is a keystone theme shared between you and Charlie and the foundation of your relationship, because you ran from the engagement and caught his interest.

JESSE

Before Jesse's words appear, he also gets the cage-looking graphics like Evan and I believe it's because he's similarly trapped. He was born with the weight of the Xia Clan on his shoulders and the responsibility that comes with his powers. I would argue he is also trapped by his revenge and insecurities.

protection. Yes, all the other men protect you, but we only need to look at how many times Jesse puts his life on the line for you to know that this truly defines him. He gives you one of his soul flames in his Qixi date, he gives up on his revenge in the main chapter for you, and he forces himself to sing and topples off the stage in the main chapter for you. Heck, Chapter 15 was all about tackling his overprotective behavior.

partiality. This should have gone to Osborn. I believe this goes hand in hand with his "obsession" for you and how that is naturally expressed in favoring you for everything.

passionate. I think this might refer to how much he's grown from the boy who didn't understand his feelings for you to the man that now wants to be a partner you can rely on. In the steamier cards, he can barely hold himself back and puts his desires front and center.

firmness. This can refer to many things but I like to think it's Jesse's position on his revenge and you. At many instances, people have told him there was only one killer for his father but he refuses to believe that and continues to search for the truth. His "obsession" for you has been pointed out to have potential negative consequences, but he firmly believes that you are the fulcrum of all his possibilities. Once Jesse makes a decision, nothing can change his mind.
