[clears throat] HERLOCK SHOLMES (or Gregson) for the character ask meme
YEAAA!! i did gregson before heres his. technically i did one for dgs sherlock before but um. itd be fun to do again. its been a few months now thats enough for me to do it again even though probably nothing has changed
Sexuality Headcanon: gay gay homosexual gay
Gender Headcanon: This sherlock can fit so many gender in her!!!! shes nonbinary. hes genderfluid. theyre a trans guy. shes a trans woman. theyre a cis guy whos just having fun with it. sherlocks gender is "fun dad"
A ship I have with said character: you know. You all know. You gusysfucking know. what f there were dads. what if theyre were gay dads and they went through so much shit. and they were just holmes and watson but awesome in a differenrt way. aka homumiko win. ive seen some other extremely rarepairs w him that were vaguely interesting/funny (w hosonaga and w uhhhhh harebrayne) but nothing else i rly care about
A BROTP I have with said character: i said iris before ive talked abt him and iris so many times bc oh my god dotter win. 100% uouare my fufkign doaucghter. so i just wanna give respect 2 his friendshups w ryuu & susato theyre so good. tfw you meet your idol and he kind of would like to also be your dad but that could be weird and also he couldnt tell you why anyway so youdont know you just make dumb jokes together (susato). tfw you meet this random british guy and hes completely insane and he insists on making it YOUR problem (ryuu).
A NOTP I have with said character: if vanlock has 1000 haters i am among them if vanlock has 1 hater its me if vanlock has 0 haters i am not on this earth. they should interact its funny i just dont ship them at all.
A random headcanon: uhmmmmmmm. is there anythign ibn my brain that hasnt bee n said,. he keeps trying to invent brand new instruments and they keep coming out garbage. not remotely convenient to use and the noises they make cannt even be twisted into music of any kind
General opinion over said Character: i like this guy theyre a really really good sherlock holmes adaptation and a really really good characater and a really really fun silly dad who wears pink. i like her theme

Ryuunosuke walking off the S.S Burya rattles around in my brain constantly. Because isnt it terrible? That the one who survived didn’t deserve to? He didnt deserve to live because he had no quest, he was no beacon of justice, he had no sword to draw. I adore it. The archetype of living in a story that is not yours is so good. I love characters existing when they shouldnt. He does so good over the course of the story, but that initial awful fact of his survival is so painfully exciting for me.
Ryuunosuke’s growth into a confident, charismatic, and vicious lawyer, touches me deeply in ways I wish I were better at expressing.
#ryuunosuke naruhodou#Ryunosuke is the blorbo i rotate in my brain 24/7#Sorry if this doesnt make sense#I was reading the baptism chapter from HTRLLAP and I thought of my ryuu#Guess I’ll go back to drawing doomed Asoryuu#dgs spoilers#dgs2#tgaa#ryunosuke naruhodo

i don't consider myself a punk but the way so many people who call themselves "punk" seem to have no idea what punk is is so... annoying
#rambles#not jojo related#personal#i do like some punk i like the dead kennedys and bad brains (and DG if you count it) but i'm not like a super fan of the genre#my friend just browsed through punk subreddits and stuff and ohh my god what she showed bothers me#why do so many people online think punk just means ''left wing anarchist''#anarcho punk is a thing sure. but that's very far from all punk in existence#punk is a music genre and subculture with political themes that can skew wildly from artist to artist#the post i saw that annoyed me the most was one calling the sex pistols ''fake punk'' because the lead singer is a trump supporter...#the sex pistols were literally the kickstarter for punk in the UK. are you kidding me.#also the people looking at 80s left wing punks telling n/zi punks to fuck off with ''but n/zis can't be punk!''#yeah they... can be. and have been for a while. hence why they needed to be told to fuck off in the first place#you can't ignore punk has a very mixed history with both far left and far right groups with ''well i don't think it's REAL punk''#people getting terms with history wrong bothers me so much

Why did no one tell me about the great ace attorney?
#wacky watermelons#< the joke here being that in my 6 years of being invested in aa I have largely ignored dgs#only to distantly remember 2021 and one mr herlock sholmes#something that very much set off the current part of my brain that is still very intrested in most things holmes and watson#so of course the concurrent softballs to the brain had me scrambling to find a playthrough#and i am unbelievably chuffed by the fact that some of the orginal fan translators are called scarlet study#i also found a guy i recognized from when i watched every aa4 playthrough under the sun#so hopefully this goes well.#the discord is never hearing the end of this if it does

why does art have to be so art
#I really wanna draw Octopath fanart but something about the official art's style short-circuits my brain#like I sit down and start sketching and cannot figure out how to translate the style to my style#it's simultaneously more sketchy and more polished than my art style#so using it as a ref is Very Hard for me for whatever reason#this goes back to the first game where I wanted to draw all sorts of cool art and managed one (1) Ophilia#I keep telling myself if I get all the characters sketched in my style then I can just ref my own sketches instead of the official art#but hmm even something about how all the designs are is just. Tricky to get right#I dunno if it's just that I've spent years drawing FE fanart (and at one point did a fair amount of AA/DGS art)#that my brain wants to default to having that style be my base of reference but 'tis an interesting conundrum#I've drawn some TriStrat fanart too and had the same issue--the designs are just complex in a different way than FE complex to be difficult#actually I just went and checked and yeah I've drawn almost nothing but FE fanart for the past couple of years#I mean I've drawn plenty of original stuff too but that's significantly easier for me bc it's 100% me from start to finish; no translating#maybe I should make an effort to make fanart for other games....expand my range of base references#expand the art styles I am spending a fair amount of time looking at Very Closely#I was able to sketch some busts of some of the Octo2 characters and got Partitio to look how I wanted him to look#so that's a start at least#hopefully I can keep at it#oracle of lore

can i ask for your thoughts on keron society? i cannot stop thinking about this little nightmare planet
NIGHTMARE PLANET FOR REAL!!!!!! GOD!!!!!!!!
i work best with guiding/prompting questions so in the absence of those i will just ramble about shit until i cant recall any more of my thoughts so this might be strange and disjointed 👍
im obsessed w keron society so i keep an eye out for canon indications of What It’s Like so here’s my list of canon keron society trivia i remember off the top of my head: they have military training schools for elementary school age children. more specifically, they seem to have almost exclusively if not actually exclusively military training schools, i.e., i dont know if theres any mention of non-military schools of any kind and the way characters talk about it indicates that Military Training Schools are the schools everyone goes to by Default. In fact! overall! keron society seems to be built on the military, run by the military, and almost entirely comprised of the military. It’s not necessarily unusual for most of the keronians we meet to be part of the army since all of our Main Characters are part of the army and we’re therefore seeing the world From Their Perspective but uh. I think “join the army” is straight up the default, expected life path on keron and anything else is a noteworthy Deviation. My evidence: when putata first shows up giroro immediately assumes that he’s part of the army and asks for his rank even though like,. “being a keronian on earth” really does NOT automatically correlate to being there as part of the military, by that point we’ve at least met… Well, by that point i’m pretty sure we’ve at least met dororo’s mom, who as far as I can tell isn’t part of the keron army at least anymore, so you know………. Point IS: all signs I’ve noticed point to: Keron is founded on its military. The majority of its population is part of its military. It’s a military society. Fucked up right?
SPEAKING OF THE SHURARA CORPS. *GESTURES TO GIRURU AND DOKUKU* FUCKED UP RIGHT ??????????? I’ve already kind of forgotten the EXACT details as they go over them in the dokuku episode but context if any of my non-keroro followers are reading this heres how i remember it: (*resists the urge to go rewatch that part of the episode to double check*) giruru and dokuku are brothers, they were experimented on by, i believe, the fucking military again, and turned into A Liquid and A Gas respectively, and this is explicitly framed as “wow! fucked up! both of their lives were literally RUINED and they DO NOT WANT THIS”. HUH? Also what’s with dokuku being specifically called like the first gas keronian THEY MADE MORE? LIKE OF COURSE THEY MADE MORE BUT ??? UNETHICAL KERONIAN EXPERIMENTATION CANON.
SPEAKING OF THAT HEY WHATS UP WITH THE CLONING THING. No literally, what’s up with the cloning thing. The garuru platoon arc in the manga explains it pretty concisely, platoon commanders get their fucking DNA saved so that if they’re ever deemed unfit for command in any way by the Keron army they can be REPLACED WITH A CLONE OF THEMSELF and then DE-AGED TO A POINT IN THEIR LIFE LONG BEFORE THEY WERE CONSIDERED UNFIT TO COMMAND AND THE ORIGINAL IS PUT ASIDE AS PART OF THE RESERVE FORCES. The manga also says somewhere that keroro is the 315th. THE THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTEENTH K66 TYPE KERONIAN. HEY WHAT? GUYS ARE YOU GONNA ELABORATE ON THAT? NO? NO? I mean, maybe they do in some way. But probably not. I don’t know.
*falls to my knees and punches the floor* keron society is incredibly fucked up. I think literally everyone on that planet needs therapy. I also get the feeling that Planet “Every Single Person Born Here Is Going To Join Our Military While Still A Literal Child, Correct? Awesome!” does not have great resources for coping with any trauma or anything else induced by their military. I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s FASCINATING. Studying the nightmare planet as a means to study the main characters. Studying the nightmare planet and desperately wishing we had more information about it. I want to watch this shitshow up close and in action. It’s bad. It is bad. Fucked up planet from hell. Dear God.
anyway this post is already long and i have to go soon but here’s a lightning round list of theories vaguely related to “the keroro of “back then”” and the question of how the Fuck sergeant procrastination-and-french-fries has been genuinely trusted with an entire platoon and the invasion of an entire planet
keroro puts his energy towards things he finds Fun and at one point he found being part of the army Fun enough to give it his full and genuine attention and earn a reputation as someone competent and capable before he stopped finding it particularly Fun and stopped really giving a shit or trying very hard. (aka, Keroro is Space Neurodivergent, which is true anyway)
there’s an episode of the anime where keroro’s dad saves the whole platoon, completely unknowingly, by complete accident, while also drunk off his ass. What if he’s always like that. Competent on accident. What if Keroro is also like that. He did a bunch of cool shit, but like, just kind of stumbled into it without meaning to or really realizing what he was doing.
Nepotism
I’m out of time. I should probably put this post under a readmore but i. won’t <3
#THANK YOUUUUUUJUU OMGGGGGGGG.#FEEL FREE TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS.#IM HAUNTED BY FREAK PLANET AND THE FREAKS IT PRODUCED#basilask#this is where if this was a p5 or dgs post id use one of my headcanons/theories/meta tags#but i dont have a tag for that kinda stuff for sgt frog yet ……#sad!#ok i made a tag to save meta/hcs/lore from my brain/etc#keron wa uchuu ichi… tabun#< based on sum1s tags on this post yay <3#except using the japanese lyric bc ill remember the exact phrasing of that better than ill remember a translation#i love having super specific gimmicky organizational tags that half the time might just end up confusing people who aren’t me

I'm rewatching the hunger games for a lack of something better to do at 1am and oh my god the amount of lore stored in my brain that the first 10 minutes of this movie has unearthed
#it shouldnt amaze me at this point how my brain decides that the important information it stores is stuff from movies tv and books#but i read those books like what? a decade ago? how old are these movies??#and i still remember shit from them#and not just the books and the movies i remember so many posts of analysis on both books and movies#i remember conversations with my friends who were also reading the books back then#i went to the kitchen for a little snack and found my brother snaking too and i told him#and he told me 'are you surprised? It's always like this with you' and honestly? yeah it's always like this and im always surprised#dg rambles

Lookism: "No thank you! I have a partner!"
Silly. G/N. Y'all probably seen the meme. Your partner comes home drunk and doesn't recognise you. Masterlists
Gun Park, Ryuhei Kuroda, Goo Kim, DG, Vin Jin, Jake Kim, Samuel Seo
Loud scratching and thumps at your front door wakes you. You wonder whether to arm yourself with a frying pan and then you hear your boyfriend muttering slurred profanities.
A loud bang reverberates through your home as he stumbles, drunk, through the door.
With a sigh, you crawl out of bed to check the state they're in.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6ddc31027effe0c1f4b68b8d85ddb0f4/ca9c1d8bc9d68e40-3c/s540x810/00d3c25d593f803c1ec9258820a6b353e90046bf.jpg)
Gun gazes at you, bleary-eyed and half focused. Slightly swaying on his feet, a very unusual sight of someone usually in full control of their body.
Then something clicks in his brain, eyes hardening just before he looks away. He tells you, tone disinterested, that he's a taken man.
"I don't know how I ended up here, but don't get the wrong idea."
He turns around, exits his own living room, exits his own home, and sleeps outside the apartment in the hallway instead.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/04ae2beb18de3fed75b5e24ab46a16a6/ca9c1d8bc9d68e40-39/s540x810/8e8ca183092d23b6a24d6598c93ab42435d66068.jpg)
"Yeah you're pretty cute," Ryuhei mumbles, words slurring together, "But my partner is cuter."
He pulls his phone out, drops it twice, unlocks it on the third attempt and shows you a picture - one that you have seen, actually one that you took of him smooching you on the cheek.
"Aren't they cute?" He beams, utterly besotted. "Let me just crash here," he says as he collapses on the sofa. "If you touch me I'll scream."
.

"Get your hands off me!" Goo screeches, slapping you away as you try to undress him and get him ready for bed. "My my, you're forward aren't you?"
Goo leans forward and gives you a smile halfway between utterly charming and complete sleazeball.
Then, all bravado evaporates and he sighs.
"Oh sweetheart you would be just my type, but," he pushes you off the bed, "I'm taken and very happy about it."
He lies down, burritoing himself and turning his back to you. "You can make your own way out."
.

Vin fiddles with his sunglasses, peering approvingly at you.
Even in his drunken haze he can tell that damn, you're fine. Except. He is also lucid enough to realise he is not looking respectfully anymore and he thinks of you, his ride or die, and his face completely changes.
He frowns and asks you what the hell you are looking at. That you have no chance. He has a partner at home that is much hotter, much better, thank you very much and yeah he's an asshole but he's not going to cheat so back the fuck off.
You roll your eyes, hackles would have been much higher if he wasn't actually being sweet in his own way.
.

DG takes a moment to process the situation. And when he does, he gets it completely wrong.
He plasters on his k-pop smile. The one reserved for winning over fans, interviewers and for his insincere apology videos.
"Did you want an autograph?" He pulls out a photocard from his inner pocket and a pen (and wow, you did not realise he carried a stack of his photos. You are not going to let him live this down) and scribbles his signature that comes with some love hearts and sparkles and passes it over to you.
"Here you go," he holds it out to you in both hands, not before mumbling under his breath, "You're cute but shit if you turn into another stalker..."
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0afe065541a3295439bfef9b10d5fd5c/ca9c1d8bc9d68e40-db/s540x810/84a70e95a99b329a69a7eaca741cf1eb9958106c.jpg)
Jake is already asleep on the sofa by the time you pad out, which must be some super power in itself.
"Wake up," You give his shoulder a shake. He frowns, then cracks one eye open. "Come to bed."
He grunts something indecipherable and attempts to roll his oversized frame on your undersized sofa.
"Jake, cmon."
You start to drag him to your bedroom, your touch finally waking something inside and he bolts upright, removing your hands firmly off him.
"I have a partner." He tells you with no room for any misinterpretation. "But," he scratches absentmindedly at his stomach, "Do you have any food?"
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cf32e0e654c5ed53fc894f137919bd14/ca9c1d8bc9d68e40-6e/s540x810/4f7dd53c92c04c4174e93e0708a313a59102a56c.jpg)
Samuel does as he's told. Obediently removing his trousers, and unbuttoning his shirt, taking it off-
(Truly, you had no ulterior motive, you just wanted to remove the stink of alcohol.)
When, maybe for the first time in his life, he is afflicted with modesty and a startling clarity.
He yanks his shirt back on and pulls his trousers on with surprisingly sober efficiency.
"Absolutely not," he glowers at you, "This is not happening. I'm taken."

I got an idea:
Lookism x reader:
Something was wrong. Why you look more…….sharp? Why was there a drastic difference in your appearance? Your skin glowed like a lamp, a smoothness of a baby’s bum, a your lashes longer and acute,your lips even more glossier and your hair BOUNCY????????what in the cinnamon toast fuck is this?
On your way to school in the winter semester you donned a gigantic puffer coat as you met up with your Friends from J high but……where were they? Your meeting point was 7 am sharp, did they leave?
A hand on your shoulder jolts you out of thoughts and you see…………………….who dis?
What stood before you was a boy with the same smoothness of skin and lashes, but his hair….was Bouncier. Lucky hoe. His locks dyed silver and his face looking sharper, his eyes narrower, his lips glossier- the fuck is this?
“Y/n? You ok?”
You knew that voice.
“……Elsa- I mean…..Eli?”
He blinked.
“Yeah, you’re checking my hair- oh yeah I gave it a change.”
Gave it a change? Your hair follicles will give you a change at 25-
“Why do you look like that?”
He blinked at your blunt question.
“Like what?”
You gestured everywhere.
“Like THAT?”
He laughed.
“Little too much energy in the morning no?”
He pats your head all fatherly and calls the rest over as apparently they all waited for your arrival. You peek over his shoulder and see people you have 100% never seen before heading your way-
“Who are they-“
“Your friends- you didn’t forget this big coat but you forgot your Brain huh?”
“Eli this isn’t a joke- who is th-“
You get enveloped into big hulking strong arms and look over your shoulder too see a man bun.
“Goo morning!”
Vasco??????????
You were put down before a cereal bar was handed to you, you look up questioningly to see a blond boy with covered eyes. Ah. Jay. You take it with a mumbled thanks.
“Thanks to your dumbass were already late.”
You glared at……..is that Zack?
“You look like a digimon.”
He scoffs offended before mira put him in his place, who by the way- cute as fu-
Jace just shook his head and walked ahead, he looked the same. Thank god.
You looked over at…..Daniel?….Zoe looked identifiable but Daniel-…….had hair again.
“Hey Y/n! Finally got out of bed?”
You blink and he and Zoe passed you with knowing smiles.
ok what the actual manifesting shits are we going through? Is this puberty? Are we going through our 4 puberty? You didn’t know. Neither did you have time to know as Vasco snatched you up and ran to school because you were late.
Bonus:
You sat next to a bbg Daniel and stared at the black haired imposter who identified as a refill for James Lee. You look over at Daniel.
“If 5 plus 5 is ten and 2 plus 2 is four, what the fuck is this-“
That cashmere cat looking imposter looking fake DG smiled and you physically recoiled before toppling off your chair.
(Someone better check on my baby Crystal. And also Eli mentioned her, are they still talking??????? Why’s that kinda cute? Btw this is you waking up and being suddenly transformed into the new art style and tut hella confused while everyone’s normal. It was supposed to be a self aware reader💀)

Okay so basically, TGAA 1 Adventures and Resolve were meant to be one game but due to budget, length, and time constrictions they had to split it into two games. 2-2 seems to come out of left field because it's supposed to sit in between the last two cases of Adventures. Hope this helps!!!
starting tgaa 2-2 what the FUCK where did this case come from
#hoping this was genuine#and not my autistic brain reading the situation wrong#i love these games so much#the pacing of 1 is excellent but 2 suffers a bit from it#love em tho#tgaa#tgaac#tgaa2#dgs#dgs2

[XENIA] SNIPPET ゜・DG
part of a request (I'm alive and kicking I just couldn't write because I had no access to my laptop)
LOOKISM MASTERLIST
MASTERLIST ・゜・NAVIGATION
Creators.
In turn, the city cradled your grimy little body—chubby hands wrapping around index fingers of the metaphorical hounds—and made you.
Did this metropolis represent you, or did you represent the metropolis?
It was not in a polite setting that James Lee scouted the venerable King of Busan: arguably the second most esteemed figurehead for the Kings of South Korea. In theory. In theory, since Busan’s reputation as a hub for trade and exalted trade (rather than the mere cold, hard cash ill-reputed other cities offered Choi) entwined with your own. Except, in practice, you were a far more reticent King than anyone could imagine. A shadow to fade into obliquity more than any other shadow.
Underbelly, yes. This was the turf you were most at home in; he could forget all about the glamorous, illegal casinos in basements, he could forget about eavesdropping on business moguls and their lackeys, he could forget about waiting in the entertainment districts for the proverbial snake to finally rear his head.
You were the fucking microcosm of this city: draped with expensive fabric and chainmailed with gold, but the blood on your knuckles stank of impurity. In a parking lot nestled on the outskirts of Busan, he witnessed the King in his court: complete with the luxury, the opulence, and the hamartia of brutality that came with capitalism. Yes, Busan had minted you as a shadowy side to a glitzy coin—as your eyes snapped to where he lounged against concrete, he couldn’t help but observe how your imaginary hackles raised.
Thwomp. Casually, you tossed the grunt beaten black-and-blue to the frigid asphalt, with the magnanimity of tossing breadcrumbs to ducks in a pond. Like the lackey was the bread and James fucking Lee himself was the duck. A bloodied cheek squished into his sneaker, but you merely stared at him owl-like. No, cat-like, because it seemed to be the same nonplussed stare a cat would give someone after bringing them a dead rat.
“Nice city.” Since you clearly had no intention of speaking first. Deftly, his fingers unravelled the mystic plastic of a lollipop: popping the cherry-flavoured candy into his mouth to soothe the acerbic irritation he tasted. “You treat all your guests like this, or do kings not follow xenia anymore?”
It was a rather futile attempt to lighten the mood. After all, if he could help it, he’d rather negotiate to pave the way for the second generation before resorting to throwing his fist. No, that was a lie. His flexing fingers wanted nothing more than to curl into a fist to let off some of the steam he’d garnered from searching for you in this uselessly big city, but fate had him making stupid jokes based on The Odyssey he’d read just last week for his Classics competition. If he rummaged in his pocket, he could probably find the gold medal clanking against hard sweets.
Your expression changed minutely—a slight disturbance in your brows. They furrowed, and for a brief moment James Lee thought his joke fell flat. With all the blood soaked into your expensive garb, maybe you just valued fists over Homeric hexameter. Violence over prose. Brawns over brains. You slinked like shadows. Crude. Ominous. He could barely see your face even with the city lights flashing neon in the backdrop, but when your loping gait came to a halt, there was an exasperation that afforded more subtle nuance to your character. A bitterness to tinge what he thought was mindlessness.
“Mr. Lee.” Your voice curled low in your throat, as quick and elusive as mercury, and perhaps just as poisonous. Shadow King of Busan, the man who never introduced himself to you noticed. Silence was golden, and he suddenly understood why Charles Choi so badly wanted sway over the young King in charge of this port city. “I hope you’re aware that beating my subordinates would invalidate any sort of hospitality between us. You’re no god amongst men either, so ritualistic hospitality is a very weak premise to coerce my amiability with. Try again.”
Deity in the flesh. Perhaps James Lee was the closest thing to breaking the limits of humanity, but all men were fallible. That wasn’t what caused his brow to rise though; going in blind may have been risky, but it was worth it to find someone with a silver tongue like this.
You looked about his age—treading on the precarious cusp between First and Second Generation, fists stained as red as his hair—but you spoke as if you were triple your years.
“You wanna transfer to my school? It’d be fun to have you in the Debate Club,” he said on a whim, but it wasn’t really a whim either. His instructions were expressly to negotiate with Busan—the city was far too volatile to create a power vacuum in. For cities like Ansan, struggle was welcomed; but Charles Choi had too little of everything to contend with Busan, of all places. Just like in Seoul, the situation would resolve itself, and it was far too soon for the HNH Group to meddle in a place like this. “You talk like a teacher.”
His tone was as syrupy as his candy, but there was half-provocation, half-probing-curiosity entrenched in his cadence. Go on, it coaxed, throw a punch. Argue back. Unorthodox was his means of securing cooperation, but he’d have to be a little unorthodox to secure the deal old man Choi had painstakingly written out. A contract between Elite and the capricious man before him, between HNH Group and the microcosm of Busan himself; it sounded like every capitalist’s wet dream.
“Good question, kid,” you smiled, but it was less of a smile and more of a sneer as you ghosted closer to him. Kid, like you weren’t one yourself.
Crack. You stepped, heavy, on the hand of the man you’d pummelled—only his unconscious groan of pain re-alerted James to his existence. “The term isn’t over. You should still be in school. Playing around like this makes me far less likely to listen to whatever you’ve followed me for. Try again.”
The thick scent of metal invaded his personal space as you peeled your black gloves off; the rings beneath them were tinted with the blood that had seeped through the material. Just like that, you callously tossed the garment onto the slumbering man under your feet—though he truly wasn’t sure whether it was a final affront to a beaten man or throwing down the gauntlet towards James Lee himself.
It was a reminder, once again, to not be hasty. There was the real possibility of fucking Charles Choi several times over if he didn’t get this right, but the thought of his imminent doom didn’t seem all too unappealing. On the contrary, he found his heart beating faster—pulse hot on his tongue as an intriguing challenge presented itself before him.
“I’m sure your informants have relayed more intel than just my name,” he mirrored the jagged stretch of your lips. The Legend of the First Generation. The Genius. The original, associated with the base moniker of the Ten Geniuses to show just how unparalleled James fucking Lee was. “Take a guess as to how my scholastic life is going, then consider the opportunity that I’m bringing you.”
Ambiguous. His words were dusted with just enough information to seem straight to the point, but vague enough that it was tantalising. A hook to ensnare the snake of Busan himself. And rather than sating the itch in his fists, he found himself looking forward to a parley instead.
You studied him, appearing to consider his words seriously. Syllables phrased like he was the one with the upper hand, when in fact the HNH group was still tentatively unfurling and in the process of negotiations with both yakuza and Triad alike. He awaited your favourable response, hearing the stats roll into your mind as you calculated the preliminary gains and losses to joining hands with Charles Choi.
Bloodied fingers tapped a rhythm into your jacket absentmindedly. He watched, anticipating your invitation.
“Fuck off.”
“Huh?” he spluttered. Maybe he misheard you. Maybe he finally choked on his candy and induced a coma in which he was now dreaming of your response.
“Your boss sent a high-schooler to broker a deal with Busan.” Your fingers now drummed in irritation against your forearm, but he was just as irritated. He took care of every other prefecture and province, only to have this guy who was his age, nonetheless, tell him his presence wasn’t good enough. Like, what? “Tell old Choi to come himself to negotiate if he wants any sort of foothold in my city. If he truly wanted a respectable contract, why would he send you as a messenger?”
“Excuse me?” If he wasn’t restricted from fighting you—the only exception was valid self-defence—he would’ve made the asshole in front of him eat shit. Alas, Choi wasn’t that generous or lenient. “He sent one of the Ten Geniuses, the primero, for this. I’m one of his greatest assets.”
“Are you a damn car or a person?” you snapped, and it suddenly felt as though he was looking upon an ancient wizard as he lectured a troublemaker outside his tower. His eyelid twitched, and he was finding it quite hard to keep a cool head. “Talking about assets… can’t believe Choi’s sent the guy who’s fucked up all the smaller provinces to deal with us.”
The latter sentence was more grumbled to yourself; it appeared he annoyed you just as much as you annoyed him, which he found a delighted satisfaction in.
“Tell Elite to come himself,” you uttered finally, not even letting him get in a word edgeways as you ambled back into the shadows—not even sparing a glance for the pile of bodies left in your wake.
And despite his objective, despite the imminent yelling he’d no doubt face, he couldn’t help but stare at your blood-soaked coat fluttering in the frigid coastal wind.
Out of hatred, obviously.

~ SPOILER ALERT from Novel ~ Part 1
In the extra chapters of the novel, it is shown that the Devil God of the apocalyptic world (from where Li Susu was) has foreseen his death and doesn't want to die. Because of his trauma from dying in fire. He knows Li Susu is divine so he forges a plan to let her go in the past and change his future just to prevent his death. But he was somewhat excited to see how she would develop love threads in him before his awakening.

So whole plan of changing past and removing evil bone was his plan, Li Susu just goes along with it unknowingly.
After reading the novel my perspective on Epi 1 has been changed. Of course it's different from the novel but still gave away information about this mysterious redhead Devil God 2.0
He came with one motive to annihilate immortal sects. Reason : To get the immortal artifact that can lead to his death. Again he wanted to save his life like in the novel with the difference he didn't know about Li Susu.

He didn't know it was not the artifact but its weilder who can threaten his life..
Now here I have seen many people confused as to how he didn't recognize the face of his hateful wife. My reasoning is :
1) He took her for a doppelganger. The DG in the novel killed gongye jiwu just because he looks like xiao lin, his mortal enemy. He didn't care if it was his reincarnation or Doplleganager.
2) Or maybe his powers corrupted him to the level where he can't remember his mortal life as he was influenced by Chu mo. Tantai jin was able to overcome it (epi 38) but this Devil God does not. Knowing Chu mo once this ttj ascended he must have deleted the folder of mortal life from his brain, only kept sufferings. Screw you Chu mo.
No wonder he was all about massacre and destruction. He was heavily influenced by Chu mo to be his successor.

Here he was surprised that someone hurt him for the first time in 500 years. Though he was a puppet of Chu mo and didn't recognize her, he was still intelligent. At one glance he knew this immortal was not ordinary.

Still he didn't take her seriously and attacked her, thinking she's not gonna survive him giving off that sexy smirk (she is your ex wife idiot, maybe you already killed her once in the mortal realm. Dont bully her reincarnation) . He enjoys killing powerful people because it validates him that he is stronger.
After looking at the seal in between her eyebrows and the activation of artifact by her blood he was certain he found his escape plan.

His face screams: She is the one
In just one glance he formulated the whole plan
