#emus >< is my fav forever

[karamell-sweetz]

um. i um. i did a thingy and now i’m going to yap under the cut

ok now. so i did this with mainly just dynamics in mind because i am a firm believer that all of these ruikasaverse things can and SHOULD be explored platonically. yk for what they are. and not just in the context of romantic relationships. because. that’s just how relationships work right.

BUT i did split my ult favs into the ones i like more romantically (🚢) and platonically (which i should have labelled as 🍽️). just because i’ve been shipping them romantically for a good while anyway. that said everything in my 🚢 tier can/should be explored platonically too.

NOW ENSUES THE YAP.

TIER ONE: ult favs, romantic

DANTORU OTP OF THE CENTURY. i don’t even have a good reason as to why they’re my favourite of all time, i think it’s mainly just the aesthetics of them together and the romantic implications of piano. and the stars too. think about it guys. imagine playing music with your lover beneath the stars… or playing a duet with them… or laying your hands over your lover’s as you teach them how to play!!! grrrh.

KUROSHIRO OTP OF THE CENTURY #2. dear ruikasers that make them painfully reincarnate into every other universe: you successfully break my heart every single time. that and giving them forbidden romance. and killing tsukasa for plot. it gets me every time. also an aesthetics thing, flowers are awesome and there is something so beautiful about being practically opposites yet coming together all the same. ugh. ughhh.

curtain call has the horrifyingly romantic implications of YEARNING for your lover and the passage of time threatening to break you apart. it’s pining and angst and all the joys and pains of life rolled into one.

if we count filament as nakashira then i LOOOVE them. salaryman yaoi or whatever. it would be AWESOME if we explored them platonically but i like the idea of them getting to know each other and slowly fall in love with each other… and make each other better… grrhh… domestic life… was never quite my style… /lyr

tacthina!! honestly don’t have a reason for why they’re up so high here but i think they’re very sweet. bonus for arranged marriage, and when paired withhhhh tactqilin!!! againnn finding your lover reincarnated over centuries… there’s something cool about going through time and searching for that one person again and again. i think that’s the reason why most of these ships are in the top category lmao it may be my favourite trope.

TIER TWO: ult favs, platonic

GHH as much as i love colorfes ritk romantically i honestly think they should be explored platonically too. like a long distance friendship with an ethereal deity. and also AGAIN with finding that person again and again throughout time and space (teehee)!! because rui’s usually an immortal deity in this au.

both zozos actually could have gone in ‘normal ritk with a mask on’ but idk there’s something about these two designs specifically that scratches my brain. no i don’t really know why i put them so high. they just look really good together.

i can go on forever about pandemonium the event and how it was such a turning point for rui’s relationships and character development and honestly that should be reflected in the cards too. EEESPECIALLY when you put their canon meeting in. stuff like tsukasa slowly warming up to rui’s antics and letting himself be a little less uptight with him. and rui getting to share all of himself with someone close to him!

KIRAPIKA. mmm. i dunno i just like rpg style things. and going out on missions and quests together. i dunno! i think they’re best enjoyed alongside emu and nene so they can all be a party together though.

SURPRISE I LIKE GALAJEST MORE THAN RINGJEST? man i don’t know either? most of the things i see with them are along the lines of rui crafting up tsukasa as a little galactic friend and i think that’s really sweet. hmm other than that i forgot why i put them so high. it’s mainly the idea of rui being tsukasa’s ultimate helper i guess, and tsukasa being rui’s companion in return. :)

TIER THREE: scrumptious!

BOODEVIL IS SO CUTE! something about rui, filled with all sorts of bitterness, being brought into the light by tsukasa’s simple ways of enjoying life.

wl is cute too, not much to say with them. i feel like i see so much royalty-based ritk that it’s hard to have any large feelings about it, at least in my case lol.

ROSEOU… mmm… it’s neat to make friends with your butler or other sort of royal advisor. and also that idea of getting closer from a place of formality, and getting to show the hidden sides of you to another person especially when you’re both in a formal position.

lilyrose goes well together aesthetically. or as aesthetically as you can get with rose’s abysmal colours 😋 other than that it’s usually giving the same as roseou so not much to say that hasn’t been said already.

space opera… not much to say about them. intergalactic partnership ✨

now prommy i DO like ringjest. it’s good that they have each other’s backs. its just that certain bits of fandom have sort of ruined them for me :/ still cute tho

ahhh white day… there’s so much white day out there that i have no idea what’s going on with it /pos. that said, love the doomed yaoi.

i don’t have too many feelings on the seibaitAAAAAsu cards honestly, mainly because i haven’t had the time to read the story or really look into it in detail. these cards are stunning though. love the doomed yaoi again.

ok i’m actually a sucker for phantom thieves even though i have no idea what they actually do… it’s the cat and mouse aspect + mysterious identity for me!

lilyfes… mmm… againnn the reincarnation thing!! or rui looking over his partner throughout immortality and protecting him. oughh.

merking and merprince areee basically the same thing right? i love a bit of little mermaid style pining to be a land dweller, or even the opposite with king/prince wanting to partake in the ocean’s beauty or whatever…

cyberpunk on its own feels a bit too loose conceptually for me to be fully on board with it but once you slide idolkasa in there it has more weight to it. love me some hidden identity once again.

kemo… they are very cute… again not a strong enough concept/difference to get me fully on board with it

pop in my heart! bakerkasa feels very similar to boodevil now but it’s still cute

TIER FOUR: it exists.

hakapega… bwaaaah… i love the idea of pegasus being a robot replacement for tsukasa and the angst that that brings with it, but other than that i have no strong feelings on it. i’m a lover not a fighter 😔

sorry fesdog lovers but i am not sure about the dog… that’s all i will say.

potato boys are fun, just not hitting with me tbh

mmm you all know i have my own fairy au so technically i should be on board with the fairies… i just haven’t seen much of it. the idea is adorbs tho. just two bros living the miniature life in little fairy domestication…

the idea of colorfes and tinykasa is also very sweet, just not my cup of tea personally ><

i don’t have strong feelings for the starry sky melody set in general so unfortunately this ritk is getting the mid.

zozo2… same as zozo1 but they don’t hit as hard for whatever reason. they are still pretty though

knightfes is cool? but once you put sorcerui in the picture it’s not really unfortunately.

octoking is the same as merking and merprince. it’s in this tier because the tentacles do not entail the best things maybe. also i don’t know if i like them on rui.

knightprince could be cute actually. switches up what we’ve seen so far in roseou etc.

rmd… idk it’s interesting in regards to designs and the power dynamics but i’m really not feeling it :/

detectives are cute too but it feels like more office yaoi!! and i just prefer nakashira and phantom thief rui in that case.

never seen skaterzozo in my life but that’s because skaterkasa is relatively new. i think it’s cool tho.

i should have put middle school in tier three because it has a lot of potential platonically, but i honestly just like preserving the canon timeline regarding that era

sanrio is like if boodevil/pimh met merking/merprince. rui coming out of the water to visit tsukasa’s cafe… very sweet. no strong feelings for it though.

TIER FIVE: erm.

with starry sky orchestra it really depends on what angle you look at them from. most of the things i see with these two are trying to push the whole sibling thing in a weird way unfortunately, so that’s tainted my view of it a little. but if you DON’T make them related it’s just mid i think.

again, never seen skaterdog because skaterkasa is a new card. same issue as fesdog though. can’t get over the dog allegations.

‘TIER SIX’: normal ritk with a mask on

these are for the aus that are close to canon. i prefer to look at them platonically in that case.

anyway that’s enough of me!! sorry once i left this overnight i forgot what i wanted to say + after the first few tiers i ran out of things to say :P

[slightlytoastedbagel]

Ok then. (This will be based off of Sekai versions)

20. Nene

Listen. I fucking love Glory Steady Go! and Hakoniwa no Coral but Nijiiro Stories sure does Exist and Starry Sky Melody has the crime of doing Meiko so fucking dirty it is actually at the very bottom of my overall list for the commissions. Nene ily but your commissions are so hit and miss to me and there's only so much Glory Steady Go! can carry for the lows. If we are counting Cup Noodle Ban though I suppose she's higher than 19 (not counting the collab ones though because they're technically not for the character).

19. Tsukasa

I cannot listen to Filament Fever I have tried and every single time I found myself zoning out and couldn't remember any of it. I also have a personal vendetta against Tondemo on behalf of that chart.

18. Saki

I apologise to the Tenmas first of all. Second of all I love Stella and TeraTera it's just From Tokyo is too eh and Twins is cool but actually forgettable unlike the rest of L/N comms. Like I have never seen anyone talk about it but I don't really have much to say either. The MV is pretty and I like the chorus.

17. Shizuku

Unlike the last three I do actually enjoy every Shizuku comm it's just that most of them are average to me. Hearing I Am, We Are full for the first time did something to me though and Hug is amazing.

16. Toya

I had to actually think about who to put here I think that says a lot about how much I like Sekai comms. This is mostly because I can't bring myself to care about Rad Dogs and Utsuro wo Aogu. Like, they're good but not my thing. Mirai and Blender carry.

15. Mafuyu

This is because of Saisei. I like it but I prefer the og. Also I feel like Jackpot Sad Girl gets buried by later comms for me. Bug and Theatre are the jam though.

14. Rui

As Tumblr's Number One Forward Defender (a title I have just given myself) I treat Becoming Potatoes in the same way people treat Forward because Emu literally does not sing outside of the chorus people just don't mention it because of how loud she is. Which yes isn't as bad as how the boys are treated in Forward but still. Rui's other comms are all good though. I really like What Sort Of Ending Are You Wishing For? and CYBERPUNK DEAD BOY.

13. An

Speaking of Forward. Yes I know it has line distribution issues but I don't care I love it. For an event that did mostly focus on An and Kohane as partners I find it fitting that it is pretty much just them. Plus Sekai was just like that back then (see Emu in Becoming Potatoes). Machi and Gekokujou are my favs and Awake Now is in my upper half ranking wise.

12. Haruka

IF SWEEP FOREVER. Anyway sadly Haruka only has 3 commissions while everyone else has 4 (and Minori has 5 we'll get to that) but luckily my resident Haruka friend on discord showed me the joys of Love Material a while back and tht one bit of Float Planner gets stuck in my head whenever I think of it so. 3 of 3 I really enjoy!! Also If is my fav mmj commission and placing Haruka this low was painful.

11. Mizuki

Every Mizuki comm is good it's just that Lower is the only one I will actively go out of my way to listen to. Like if Kitty/IDSmile/Give Me Your Night came on I would listen to it and have a good time but Lower is the only one to really drag me in.

10. Airi

Of course there is DAKARA MOTTO which instantly puts Airi high for existing but Parasol Cider and Momoiro no Kagi which I really love. Ice Drop isn't as big for me though.

9. Emu

Niccori Survey Team will probably be my favourite WxS commission forever. It's just so fun to listen to. I really like Starry Sky Orchestra as well and Kirapipi★Kirapika is enjoyable too. We don't talk about Once Upon A Dream.

8. Ichika

Made To Order my beloved. Made To Order single handedly brings Ichika to top 10 but then there's The WALL as well and wow. Pulse of the Meteor and Hoshi o Tsunagu are both fun as well. Ichika was initially higher but then I realised I liked the next two's comms more overall even if Made To Order is higher than all of theirs.

7. Ena

Much like how I defend Forward I will also defend Close To Gray there is so much power and emotion in that final chorus. Idk why people dislike it. Also just. Nomad and Ai Nandesu. I Am Rain just released on jp as well and I really love it.

6. Shiho

As I am writing this I keep moving Shiho up and in my defence NAKANAI YOU NI WARATTATE. 「１」 is so good. So is Peaky Peaky. So is Voices. Purpose is fun if in need of a few more listens to really appreciate. Basically Shiho has amazing commissions.

5. Honami

Awaiting Clear Skies is fun but not high up. Anyway Honami's other three commissions are AMAZING. Stage of Sekai has been my favourite L/N for a while, and it only got surpassed by another Honami commission - Regulus. Also Flyway do I need to explain Flyway. Honami Mochizuki is revolutionary.

4. Kohane

I am biased maybe but also I just really like Kohane commissions. Like with Regulus finally beating Stage of Sekai, Beat Eater had been my favourite for Kohane for a while and then Hitsuji ga Ippiki happened last year. Flyer! is such a feel good song as well and Realize gives off the vibe of an anime's special season finale outro which, considering how Vivid Bad Squad operate as a unit story yeah it fits.

3. Kanade

Samsa was a song I was excited for on behalf of Kanade finally getting a 3DMV commission after two and a half years. Then it blew right up to my favourite songs in the game because of how good it was and DESPITE THAT, Kanade Tomosu Sora is still my fav Kanade commission. It changed me. Tricologe may not reach the levels the other two are on but it's still rather high up for me, and then Passion at 25:00 felt like it slipped under the radar on here but it's AMAZING.

2. Minori

Ok we've got to that. Yes I am upset about Minori getting an event that considering how long it had been since Haruka 3 should have been a Haruka event, but JUMPIN' OVER! is great. So great I can forgive the event thing, which yes the song maybe wouldn't have changed if it was Haruka but it wouldn't have had as much Minori and this song fits her voice so well. Anyway her other comms are all really good as well. Angel's Clover is Angel's Clover, DREAM PLACE was my fav Minori song for a bit, Worldwide Wander sticks out with how different it feels to other MMJ commissions in a good way and then Teammate is one of the few songs I have found myself crying to in general. Minori has yet to miss for me in commissions.

1. Akito

Kashika exists. That is why Akito is number one. But in all seriousness Akito is also on the no misses list with Minori (the others being Shiho, Kohane, Kanade and Ena for anyone wondering) and I feel like that's self explanatory really. Cinema still holds up despite being early game, Moonlight was produced by Harumaki Gohan (one of my fav producers) and Kitani Tatsuya (I really like Devil's Manner) so I was always going to love it and CR詠ZY felt like I was being beat up but in a good way. They were beating me up with how good their singing was. Also, again, Kashika exists and is beautiful and I was obsessed with it the second I first listened to it.

Anyway that's my ranking. What have we learnt from this? Idk, I like Leo/Need commissions? Feel free to scream at me in my ask box.

Could make people mad at me and post my ranking of every character based on who has my fav/least fav comms

[lunarcry]
