#hana stats

[blood-choke]

first of all, thank you sharing such an interesting story with us… yes i’m obsessed and yes i’ve been playing and replaying and choosing diff options… im so enraptured!! just want to see everything that you’ve written. i do want to ask— i’ve only been able to trigger the sex scene with clear. from the beginning i’ve played as someone who has chosen romantic options for all 3 maybe that’s why only clear’s scene triggered when i go down her route. when i go down hana or valentina’s route we only kiss (and understand each other more or fight, respectively). i’m not sure if it’s cause i’ve been spreading myself thin🤣 sorry i just like them all. i want them all. valentina’s on thin ice but i still want her.

also wanted to know– i chose the same options but somehow triggered diff scenes??? one where i take the lead and one where clear does and i was wondering what goes into that? anyways. thank you for the new chapter. i’m obsessed.

thank you so much 💕💕💕 i'm really happy to hear that about the conversation with Hana. i had the exact same thought process, especially since i was going back and forth between the routes and wrote a bit of Valentina's route, where she talks about Standard and mentions his... preferences... it was something i knew i couldn't bring up with her while ignoring it with Hana. and of course the bathroom scene at the store was something i wrote first as well and again it just didn't feel right to talk about some of these things while blatantly ignoring Hana's specific lived experience that could potentially be very different (or similar!) from the mc's.

as for triggering different intimate scenes, it is possible you may just be right on the line stats-wise and picking just one different choice will push you over into the other variation of the scene. if you're more friendly with Clear, she'll allow you to lead, but if you've been more aggressive, she'll take the lead instead - it allows her to feel a little bit of control after the events of the last 24hrs & being thrown around like a toy. (and in general it is Clear's preference but two butches together and anything can happen...)

i said previously that getting one scene over the other doesn't necessarily mean you're "locked" into a bad route or anything, but it can give you an idea of where your relationship is with her in this chapter.

hopefully you've seen the posts about Valentina's route being bugged (you sent this a few days ago) and i hope you've been able to get it to work! her scenes work similarly as Clear's in that it depends on your rivalry/friendship with her, though her "friendly" scene is a little harder to get. and with both her and Hana you've had to gone with them on the hunt in ch2 or else you'll only get a little kissie ;)

thank you again for the kind words i really appreciate it 💗

could you do a fic where trent gets asked questions about y/n in an interview and he starts blushing etc

❛ soft launched. ❜ — trent alexander-arnold

‣ hana’s notes : anon i love your mind!!!!!! cause when i tell u i RAN to write this 🤭 this is probably not what you expected but i hope you still enjoy it <3 they have a more like private relationship but maybe next time I’ll write when they mention each other more often or where y/n is like a famous person so stay tuned ‼️

MAIN MASTERLIST

“So, Trent, your football career is looking amazing, your stats are blowing up—”

Trent let out a chuckle at the flowing praise, pride fuelling in his chest. But he didn’t expect the last statement to pop up.

“—and also your love life, it seems. I know you keep your relationship reclusive but that soft launch really had fans going crazy. Tell me a little about that.”

He was speechless for a second, a warm smile settling on his lips at the thought of you. He felt his body getting warm, he couldn’t stop grinning that his cheeks were starting to hurt.

“Yeah, yeah, uh,” he stumbled, words stuck in his throat and he doesn’t know which one to start with. This is his first time he’s talking about you in an interview, although you and him already knew that it was coming after the instagram post, it was still a little bit nerve wrecking.

Trent shrugged before continuing, “I’m a very private person with all of this. All that I have to say is that I’m very happy with my life right now. The support that I have right now, I’m just— uh, very very grateful to be honest. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” he rambled, your face fresh in his mind, left him feeling all fuzzy inside.

The interviewer sent him a warm smile, he too was feeling happy for him, “Tell me what makes Y/N special.”

Trent didn’t think that they would find your name so fast, but it also wasn’t a surprise, “You guys are quick huh?” they both shared a laugh, before that love struck look glazed over his face once again, “Y/N is honestly amazing. Do you know the feeling that you’re with someone you adore, you can’t really describe it— yeah, Y/N’s probably the best thing that has happened to me.”

He stopped at that, still wanting to keep your relationship as private at possible. But that was more than enough. Everyone in the room could see how smitten he was and they all shared the same joy.

Even the interviewer knew that.

“I am glad to see you happy, Trent. You definitely deserve it.” the interviewer softly smiled at him.

“Thank you.” he chuckled as he shyly scratched the back of his neck.

• • •

Couple of days later, the interview was out.

“Trent, it’s out!” you exclaimed, running to the sofa, and snatching the remote from his hand to change it.

Trent looked at you amused, “Why’re you so excited?”

You smirked, “Why can’t I be?” you looked at him teasingly, before kissing his cheek and pressing play.

Trent was fidgety the whole time as the video plays, nervous for your reaction when you saw the specific scene.

“—and also your love life, it seems. I know you keep your relationship private but that soft launch really had fans going crazy.”

He slowly looked at you, trying to figure out your reaction. But what he saw completely left him in awe.

You were staring at the screen, wearing a proud look on your face. Your smile is so big, he can’t help but mirror it.

You didn’t know why you felt so giddy, so happy, knowing that he was talking about you, praising you, that only you (and some friends and family.) know that. It brought a sense of comfort and ego boost that you can’t explain.

You squealed when you feel warm hands engulfing your waist. Trent pulled you between his legs as he peppered the side of your face with kisses.

“Wait!—“ you laughed, “What’re you doing!” you tipped your head up, trying to look at him. But you were met with his dreads instead.

“Love you.” you heard him whisper. You pouted at your adorable boyfriend, moving your hand behind his neck and softly scratching his scalp.

“Love you too, baby.” you took him out of your neck, and landed a soft kiss on his lips, “You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me too.”

Trent’s eyes went big and glassy, he was giving you that doe eyed look that made you all flustered. “So lucky to have you.” he muttered.

How lucky you were that this boy was all yours.

[maleyanderecafe]

Eyooo! Long time no ask ( `~`) been extremely busy these months, sooo any recommendations on blogs that write yandere content? Like with no especific character, just a yandere x reader? Also dunno if he's a yandere or not but Dys from I was a teenager exocolonist [spoiler]

is obsessive towards the mc on the ending where they are together, but what I don't like so much about him is that he's obsessed with the planet too lmao, dunno if there's an ending where he stays with the mc all his life

Sorry for like.. the extremely long time it took to answer this one. I think since I first saw this ask, a bunch of things regarding yandere x reader has changed, but I will try to give some recommendations.

@heartfullofleeches usually has very interesting and unorthodox yanderes and darlings, some of which are ocs and some are not

@sublimetragedychopshop doesn't have yandere x reader per say but does have some fun yandere concepts.

@godnectar has some good yandere x reader concepts of various types like vampires, jocks and twins

@mysticmellowlove has some ideas that I really like, most of them being sub yanderes, my favorite

@hana-no-seiiki - has a mix of fanon and oc style yanderes. They also have pretty good art from what I remember.

@suiana - has tons and I mean tons of yandere reader style concepts. I think out of all of these this is probably the one closest to what you're asking about.

@running-with-kn1ves sometimes has some yandere x reader ones that are not from fandoms, but you'll have to dig through and see.

@goldienectar - also has some good ones.

The unfortunate thing about yandere writers is that a lot of them end up coming and going over the years. You can also look through my #yandere ideas tag for something similar.

Moving onto the next part... this is gonna be kind of long.

I was a Teenage Exocolonist is really fun, and it's a really well crafted game. I played it a lot, but ultimately while I was upgrading my computer I lost my saves for it, so I didn't want to redo everything, so I just left it alone for a while. Still, I think while Dys has traits of a yandere in certain endings, he ultimately is not as a whole. I would say maybe one or two of the endings make him a yandere and one of them is very, very iffy. I will admit though, I didn't get to finish everything about his route (or the others), so I might have some of this information incorrect.

To summarize what I was a Teenage Exocolonist is about, as the name suggests, it's about the life of Sol as a exocolonist. The game play is very much a card style game where you manage a deck based off of the skills and memory/events that Sol has throughout their life. It's very sim like so you can romance most of the characters your age, starting from when you're around 5 years old to around 18 years old. You gain skills depending on tasks that you do, buy items, gain relationships with other characters, etc.

The general story is that Sol is brought to a new planet along with a bunch of other families to build a life there. As the story goes on, they learn about what they have to do to learn about the planet, from science to nurturing, to learning about the wildlife there to adventuring. However, after a while, it becomes very clear that there is something else on the planet, something that doesn't want them there. They have to defend against aliens, a lot of which often costs some character's lives, along with various diseases and famine can cause many characters, including Sol's parents, to perish if you don't have the right stats. At some point, there is a raid that is so devastating that it ends up destroying most of the colony. From then on, there is a new group of people in power, along with various other characters that you can interact with and date. Depending on the route you go, you might end up meeting a being named Sym, one of the aliens on the planet. He seems to be incredibly interested in the humans here and is in contact with the species that seems to be attacking the colony. Depending on your choices, you can end up befriending him and saving the colony, or even end up becoming the planet yourself. It seems that Sol is kind of in a time loop, always going back to the beginning and remembering things from previous playthroughs, making certain events easier or otherwise bypassing them entirely.

Dys himself is pretty interesting. He has a rather sad childhood, with his mother committing suicide at a young age, causing him and his twin sister Tangent to becoming distant from each other. As a kid, he is very morose and doesn't really fit in with the other kids, even getting bullied a lot by them. He knows he doesn't belong to the colony and constantly strives to learn more about the planet, sneaking out with him to explore. It's no surprise that as he grows up, he distances himself from most of the other colony members and prefers going out and exploring, learning about the planet and feeling alive when he does. He can have a very cute relationship with Sol, with him believing that they are the only one who he feels truly understands him. Dys eventually does meet Sym, growing a great fascination and attraction to him and if the two of you are not in a relationship (or have otherwise broken up) he will end up with Sym most of the time. Sol, Dys and Sym can also have a polyamorous relationship with each other.

For Dys, there is always an scene where he attempts to bomb part of the colony. Tired of them being there, believing that they are causing a lot of problem for the planet, he tries to destroy it. Sol can agree to this and the two of them can end up destroying the colony and running away together. He becomes rather clingy as a result. I think in other endings he is generally a bit clingy considering that he doesn't really have anyone else to talk to.

The other ending is if Sol decides to become part of the planet. Dys will also do so the same, and when the two are sort of merged, they have a wonderful time together being one with everything. The game describes Dys and Sol in this form as "being an extension of each other" as they can be anything they wish on the planet, and are sort of, in a way, each other.

Dys in himself isn't really much of a yandere, even when you do romance him. While it is true, that he does exhibit yandere traits (being clingy, for instance), it's more because of the fact that he is pretty isolated from the other characters in the game, wanting to explore rather than be with anyone in the colony. I think the closest to yandere is when the two of you agree to bomb the colony and run away together. The planet ending with Sym is kind of strange, since it does have the traits of being together forever, but it is more of the idea of being one with everything, rather with just the two of them forever.

Still despite that, I really do like all of the characters in this game. It is genuinely so interesting seeing how they develop in the game and how you interact with them, going into some pretty deep and dark topics as well, along with some more fun memories. I think my favorite characters besides Dys are Cal and Nomi-Nomi and I kind of wish I had done a route with Nomi-Nomi because I love them so much. Maybe in a future run. It really is a beautiful game.

[perilegs]

hardest part about fe birtright is deciding which people i want as s or a+ supports. bc i was doing kaze/rinkah but it feels like all their support conversations are going to be about sweets so i don't care about that anymore. i want to prioritize good compability story/character wise instead of stats. there are some combos im already set on doing and some i kinda want to. and i don't want to do more than maybe 1-2 per character. my s chart looks like this rn, highlighted are the ones i want to do and the question mark is. possibly.

and for a+ i only have hana/setsuna so far

A History of Six Chaos: West End 5.0 (2023-25)

The West End 5.0 production started with chaos immediately due to principal Seymour Kayleigh McKnight being unable to perform for the first few weeks of the production, so alt Gabriella Stylianou was made temporary principal until Kayleigh's return. Soon after, universal swing Natalie Pilkington left briefly and was temporarily replaced by former tour swing Harriet Caplan-Dean. During this time, former swing Esme Rothero returned for two emergency cover Seymour shows December 13th and 15th 2023. 

In the new year, former tour alternate Leesa Tulley performed a total of 13 emergency cover shows: Howard on February 23rd, March 17th, and April 4th; Parr on March 31st and April 6th; and Seymour on June 2nd 2x, 8th 2x, 14th, 16th 2x, and 18th. If Leesa wasn’t already cast in the new Marlow and Moss musical, it seems likely she would have formally joined the production, but after this point she was in rehearsals and no longer able to act as the de facto emergency cover.

After this, things truly went off the rails. Kayleigh McKnight had to leave the production, principal Howard Inez Budd was on an extended leave, and Natalie Pilkington‘s universal swing contract ended. Two former alternates, Danielle Rose from the West End 3.0 and 4.0 casts and Hana Stewart from 2.0, returned to the production, Danielle as B/S/H alt and Hana as a swing (despite only Danielle having hit Swingo during her run). Hana surprisingly wore her original costume from 2019. In the single performance between Natalie leaving and Hana and Danielle joining, alternate Tamara Morgan was brought in from the UK tour as an e/c for Parr on June 25th 2024. 

Despite the added coverage, the West End almost immediately needed to cancel three performances, one on the 29th and two on the 30th. One show did run on the 29th with former principal Seymour Claudia Kariuki (who was an ensemble member in Sister Act at the time) as an emergency cover. A month later, tour alt Ellie Jane Grant was brought in to emergency cover Parr for two shows on July 21st and and then Cleves on August 20th. Harriet Watson then came back once again for two Parr emergency cover shows on August 30th and September 6th, after which Caitlin Tipping was brought on as the new principal Seymour and Danielle Rose left the show, although Danielle was back soon after for one more emergency cover Seymour show on 9/29. Hana left the show at the beginning of October, replaced by Ellie as the new second swing.

Even with a second swing and a full principal cast, the production still couldn’t catch a break. Hana Stewart returned for one more Seymour emergency cover on October 26th, followed by former tour Seymour Erin Caldwell on the 29th. Esme Rothero was then hired as a third swing in mid-November, which provided additional coverage but did result in the first triple-silver-costume show where all three performers were wearing the exact same version of the costume, with Gabriella in her second cover Parr, Esme as Howard, and swing Meg Dixon-Brasil as Boleyn. Esme left the production in early January to provide additional coverage to the UK tour during their Japan stop.

With only a month left to go, the most chaotic Six production to date couldn’t end without one more burst of emergency covers. On January 19th 2025, three emergency covers performed a total of five times- Shakira Simpson and Rachel Rawlinson as Boleyn and Parr respectively for both shows, and (of course) Harriet Watson joined as Cleves for the evening show. Rachel had last performed with Six in October of 2023, so it’s wildly impressive she was able to join the show with little notice over a year later. This also marked the first time a cast has hit emergency cover Swingo- having an emergency cover for all six roles. To ensure that this cast would break ALL the chaos records, Harriet returned for one more emergency cover show, this time as Boleyn, on the 26th.

Stats: # total shows: 591 # emergency cover performances: 31 # emergency performers needed: 11 (Esme Rothero, Leesa Tulley, Tamara Morgan, Claudia Kariuki, Ellie Jane Grant, Harriet Watson, Danielle Rose, Hana Stewart, Erin Caldwell, Shakira Simpson, Rachel Rawlinson) # shows canceled: 3 # alts/swings: 3 alts, 1 swing # temporary/short term performers: 6 (Natalie Pilkington as universal swing, Harriet Caplan-Dean as temp swing, Danielle Rose as temp alt, Hana Stewart as temp swing, Ellie Jane Grant as temp swing, Esme Rothero as temp swing) # cast member changes: 1 (Kayleigh McKnight replaced by Caitlin Tipping as principal Seymour)

Overall chaos score: 10/10 nothing is topping this

Hana....your daffodil comment is haunting me. I wasn't even asking for the sake of an answer and now I have one that has me hell bent over a grave which is my own

Hello Capri 💞💚🌼

ABSJKDKD in my defense, I love flower language lolol I see flowers in twst or other medias and I go “!!!!! Must find out meanings and all possible connections stat!”

The bloomquet bday cards are one of my fave bday cards because of this reason. I also love anything celestial related. So you’ll see me go crazy with symbolisms and such if I come across them. (Book 7 my beloved 💞💞💞)

Now that I have you in my clutches 👀🥰☺️, let me give you more daffodil random facts:

Daffodils are often given for new starts or relationships: such as new jobs, relationships, etc.

Their ability to always bloom despite environments symbolizes strength and resilience.

A daffodils are seen as wealth and fortune but a single one is considered misfortune.

It’s the March bday flower and also the flower of 10 year anniversary.

Wilted or bent daffodils can also mean unrequited love like how narcissus stared at his image in the water.

I shall let you out of my clutches with that 🫶🫶💞💞

[yume2kke]

If they would make a full HD "echoes" version of FE Fates, and you had a say in the matter, what would you change or keep in the remakes? Can be anything from story, gameplay, visuals, mechanics, classes, character changes or even removing/adding new characters entirely.

ok i had to wait till i was on my work computer to answer this one. ohhh man.

story-

GOD!!! i really really adore some elements of fates writing, especially in the two many paths. i really appreciate both endgames with how they handle the sibling deaths so that im not touching. those middle parts however of all three paths and just the entirety of revelations???? god fix it!!

i think that feral dragon corrin was CRIMINALLY underused in fates and gets more fucking usage in heroes. i always thought it would make sense if not just takumi but also corrin had been controlled by anakos? i think takumis possession in birthright was also pretty sloppy. if hes a spy show me that hes a spy. but anyways i always thought that dragon corrin needed wayyy more plot involvement and i could see it really aiding a revelations rewrite, especially if they stuck with takumi being possessed. you can get rid of ANTHONY and gunters weird ass betrayal he does for no reason and instead it can be both takumi and corrin being used by anakos. maybe anakos really wants to possess corrin fully because anakos lost his human body? maybe corrins body is the only way he can physically leave valla??? also imagine a map with a 'defeat one of the bosses' goal and on either cornered end of the map is possessed takumi and feral dragon corrin ... i think about this all the time.

another writing thing that goes in line with characters AND mechanics-

the awakening trio!!!!!!!!! please god that dlc was so interesting and good and it really makes me wish they had lines in revelations. they couldve been so fucking baller in revelations but i get its hard when theres literally 10 other characters that are more Main Character than they are. they deserved more attention and better fucking writing and care in their supports. also i dont know why they actually would want to return to ylisse.... guys its destroyed and everyone was killed by grimleal and risen i thought..? anyways yeah. i want more awakening trio plot relevance.

why are the awakening kid units there also? i love cordelia/caeldori but i could really really go without asugi/gaius and rhajat/tharja. rhajat is the worst fucking child unit anyways and asugi is gaius but more annoying. i really like caeldori though lmao.

AS FOR MECHANICS!!!!!!

FIX EVERY MAP ON BIRTHRIGHT AND REVELATIONS. why does every revelations map need a gimmick??? why is every late game birthright map just a literal straight shot with no terrain???

mage buff. why is magic so lame in this game? i swear to god the only worthwhile magic user in terms of stat growth and actual usage is leo. i have managed to make mitama into a pretty good dark knight too but magic is sooooo bad in this game.

too many shitty fucking units. im sorry i do always use the siblings and niles (my one and only) but oh my god why do most of the retainers and other gained units aside from the kids suck? like everyones child is just a better unit than themselves. particularly selena, odin, hana, and effie.... and peri..... and kaegero and oboro and hinata and all of them. they deserve better stat growths than this. also rinkah??? why does rinkah suck so bad. her and hayato and arthur are genuinely useless.

my last gameplay gripe is petty but i stand by it. rod shop and staff shop why do you only provide 2-4 of c-a rank robs and staves? are you serious

i accidentally added this gif and it wont let me delete it sorry

AO3 Wrapped (hana's version)

Since I just did the fanfic writer interview post a while back, this will be short (although I love to yap so send me asks if there's anything you want to hear me yap about RE my writing this year). I'm going to keep it short - something I've never done before! New Year New Me.

Words Written: 139.8k (about 3 great gatsbies, I think)

Works Published: 5! All in the FIYM verse!

Fastest Work (per word): string theory

Slowest Work (per word): 2sorcs chapter 12, probably

Number of WIPs I'm Taking into 2025:

1 posted (2sorcs) I really really really wanted to finish 2sorcs this year, but alas, I did not. But then I'll be able to say I've been writing 2sorcs for two years!

4 in the drafts, also all for the FIYM-verse (man I should write other things)

Favorite Character to Write: Nanami!

I use him sparingly because his narration will get old if I overdo it, but it's such a delight to write him sometimes. As the straight man of 2sorcs, he gets to be an outlet for me to say "look, I know this inconcievably gay situation has jumped the shark multiple times, I know this is ridiculous."

Favorite Moment(s) I've Written:

"The Mario Bros Bully Sailor Satoru"

Kenjaku Reveal

Malevolent Kitchen as a real cooking show (based on Cutthroat Kitchen, which is my Roman Empire)

Hardest Thing I've Written:

The missions in 2sorcs, not even close. Oh my goodness that was such a bitch to write. I just wasn't happy with it for such a long time, until finally it clicked for me and I figured out what I wanted to do.

Some of my Favorite Lines and Jokes:

From string theory -

“...You’re self-conscious?” Suguru stares at him like he’s grown a second head. But Satoru feels like he isn’t even working with one functioning brain at this point, let alone two. I know I’m not the shape of someone you could love. “I…” Satoru bites his lip. He shrinks back as Suguru settles next to him on the bed. Please don’t hate me for wanting to pretend.

From 2sorcs -

“Maybe,” Suguru shrugged. “That’s for me to know and you to find out.” “Mmmm. Very panopticon of you.” Panopticon? Suguru considered himself bisexual, but he was kind of fluid with labels.

You see, Kenjaku was not an artist, Kenjaku was a patron of the arts. Best to let the real artist work his craft. Of course, Kenjaku had theories about the plot. Multiple theories, in fact. These ‘anime-onlies’ (so to speak) were so invested in what would happen to their precious Starks, while true manga fans (in a sense) like Kenjaku were already well into arguing (on online forums) about the identity of Azor Ahai, The Warrior of Light, The Son of Fire, wielder of Lightbringer, the Prince That Was Promised. Anyway, if the old man didn’t get his shit together, Kenjaku would have to take steps. They had connections. All it would take would be a few galas, a donation here and there, and they’d be in the writers’ room by Season 7.

From relativity (I just posted this yesterday, so check it out if you haven't) -

Because every top in gay porn is some muscle hunk with a buzz cut, twenty tribal tattoos, and enough oil on their bodies that George W. Bush would accuse them of hiding WMDs in their pants. (And he’d be right).

This list is mostly inspired by @fushiglow's wrapped post! (Also thanks for the tag @marichild - since I have only really been writing in one ship/fandom this year, that set of question/answers wouldn't have been super interesting to read for my stats, probably).

Fandom Year in Review (2024)

It's the very last day of 2024, so it's time for my annual look back at my year in fandom - and specifically on AO3! And some stats, of course. ;)

(Then I'll get back to writing before the new year!)

I posted 86 new stories to AO3 this year!

Fewer than last year, but I did also keep busy with some non-fandom, non-AO3 writings! (About 75 completed fiction pieces and 5 nonfiction ones, if one wondered.)

Those stories were in 26 fandoms! 11 of those fandoms were new for me to write for - and 5 of them I was the one to start the fandom tag on AO3!

Those stories included 37 romantic ships, 17 of which were new! (Gen relationships are also included in my overall stats below, of course.)

I posted a total of 158,158 words to AO3 this year!

This was also my first year participating in @gywo, so I can also say my words written this year - though not quite finished for the year (I'll get back to writing after making this post) will exceed 550k!

Aside from GYWO! I participated in a few fandom events:

a personal project - 2024 Last Quarter Moons for Kagen no Tsuki

@badthingshappenbingo (still slowly working on my board, oops)

the Three Sentence Ficathon, of course!

my personal Valentine's Spectacular

@ficwip's Hey Sweetheart Valentine event

@sesskagevents' Mystery Author March

@whumptober (completionist again with 31 stories!)

@fluff-cember

I also participated in several GYWO challenges, including Yahtzee and Build-a-Bingo!

✨, 💛, and 💙 for the ask game! :)

Answering all these in one go.

✨️-> I found DoL while searching for porn games...

I was intrigued and horny, ok?

The thing is I stayed because the world building was interesting to me! Plus the customization caught me immediately 🥰 (I am a dressing games girlie)

💛-> Ok, let's list them.

1. May

Weakness: Too meek and kind. You can take advantage of her easily.

Strenght: Extremely strong and very smart. She cannot faint from pain in-game and up until recently, her pain stat wasn't working and she could beat anyone just by using words. That's why I keep her for testing.

2. Hana

Weakness: Prideful, awful housekeeping, awful social skills.

Strength: Genius intellect. Passion and determination.

3. Kari

Weakness: Easy to manipulate and break down.

Strength: An amazing fighter. Beautiful.

And lastly-> 💙

Thank you for asking! 💙💙

Hi!

First of all, I'm in love with your work, I think your time travel fic might be one of the best ones I read on mha so far!

It's so original, the way Shigaraki ponders each decision like he's in a videogame is so charming, and I love your Kurogiri!

Also your Hana survived AU is such an original idea.

Speaking of, my real question for you.

What are your thoughts on canon Shigaraki?

The fact that in your AU he still had one family member he cared about around during his formative years means that he now has that tad more of emotional intelligence (even though his stats are still shit) to be honest with himself about his feelings for his League. Therefore, he thinks about them with genuine care, reflectiong on ways he can take care of them better this time around, proving that he noticed stuff about them even in the first run. Not that he's all healthy, he's possessive in a way, and I'm surprised the fact that surrounding himself with people he cares about while working against AfO might be dangerous for them hasn't yet crossed his mind, but still.

He cares, he knows he cares, he's working to show he cares.

Canon Shigaraki on the other hand, the one who spent fifteen years of his life with zero human contact aside from his sensei and a nomu, do you think he realizes he needs the league on a different level than their skill sets? Does he care more about total destruction or about giving them the freedom they desire? Does he listen to their reasons to be villains, is there some anger for them too in that bundle of hate inside of him? Does he miss Kurogiri, does he think of him as a parental figure? Does he know that they care for him?

I guess you could summarize the question like this: does Shigaraki canonically love his League, and do they really care for each other, or is it just us wanting to see this group brought together by desperation and isolation happy?

Fuck, I'm sorry, this is a super complicated question.

Thank you for reading, sorry for the headache, have a good day ✨

Hi! Wow! Thank you so much for enjoying my work! I'm glad it's something which appeals to you and that it's entertaining! Thank you so much for reading and for your kindness!

Regarding your question: no worries! I get it! This question is complicated but I love to ramble!

My thoughts on canon Shigaraki are complicated and they are colored by the fact that I haven't read the comic properly in several years! There's a ton of people out there who do some really clever analysis work on him and how he is; I am very much not one of them. The following information is probably wrong and when I reread the comic and find I'm wholly incorrect about a ton of things in this answer, I'll shrivel up inside. This is gonna be long and rambly, so buckle up!

Anygay, I don't really love canon Shigaraki all that much. I don't think enough was really done to justify why the League is so devoted to him, so a lot of my work is meant to weave into the places where the reader wasn't allowed and explain where he might've had softer points with them. Like a lot of other LoV fans, I am fixated on the part where he tells his League they should be able to get what they want. And I don't think he really truly wants total devastation as much as he wants the world to just stop hurting.

His name literally means "mourning" and All for One made him wear his family's hands so that he would never stop feeling terrible. He always seems to me like destructive grief. When you're passively suicidal, you want to stop existing for a while. He wants everything else to stop existing, and I see that as grief more than anything else.

He's got all the mental trauma and very little of the reason for said trauma up until he fights Re-Destro and suddenly it comes flooding back. He cannot physically handle his emotions and violently rejects them over and over again through vomiting. His body seems constantly like it's trying to reject Overhaul's quirk and I would make guesses that he feels ill and unsettled all the time, but it keeps turning into bad temper because he's got no other outlet. I could make some metaphors here about how discomfort in your body leads to you harming others and/or harming yourself when you lash out, but I can't think of something with a 1:1 ratio right now, sorry.

He's constantly destroying things, but it's not just other people's things; he destroys his own things in fits of rage and then has to deal with the fact that he did. He's obviously very mentally unwell and has no tools for fixing that, and he dies thinking of his League and how he wanted to be their hero, which does suggest that he loved them a lot.

I've mentioned before that I read the Smash! comics (not recommended and I did not like the humor most times), and the Shigaraki in those is a little funnier and more openly awkward and weird. He wants to make friends with the League and wants them to see him as cool, and you can watch him kind of struggle through that in some of the little League comic strips. My favorite is the one where he wants to show the League how great he is by playing Dark Souls, like, buddy...

But him wanting to impress the League and keep them around him is canon. He has to try and convince them to stay with him and he takes vengeance for Magne. (I can't say for sure that it's really on her account though as the narrative seems to drop her existence afterward and she doesn't show up in his line-up for the League of Villains when he says he wants to be their hero, so it's like :/) He lets Compress attack Overhaul first in order to avenge his arm, he defends Himiko, he and Spinner are Very Close. I think he and Dabi do not vibe in the goddamn slightest, which is probably due to Dabi's loose cannon tendencies and Shigaraki's own temper.

I don't know if he loves Kurogiri in canon! I think he takes them for granted, but that could be chalked up to the fact that he's twenty, twenty-one, and at that age, you take your parents for granted. Or that could be my "Kurogiri is his dad!!!" lunacy talking and it could be that Kurogiri is just an adult who he can trust and he's acting out to see where the boundaries are. Because canonically, as much as Kurogiri defends him, All for One is still the "favored parent."

TL;DR I think canon Shigaraki loves his League the best he can, but I think he knows it wasn't enough in the end. I think we are reading more into it than we're shown because we want them to be happy, and they were at points! They were happy! It just wasn't enough to save them.

(But that's what fanfic's for, right?)

Haha, thanks for the ask and for enjoying my work! I loved trying to answer this question and I hope it makes at least a little sense. Have a marvelous rest of your day and stay safe!

[soul-mates-podcast]

Whoa a new Soul Mates episode! The perfect time to talk about an older episode!

Despite being a noted Hinata Takanashi appreciator, on the win screen and otherwise, I find all her additional outfits strangely disconcerting. Firework Date and Cozy Playtime have their own issues but just going from her bond up to Sweet Refreshment feels really jarring. The visual effect is completely different!! Her first two skins are all pastel green and yellow and floral colors in organic curves, then suddenly BAM modern angular dark-tones coffee shop. Her uniform also reads very differently despite the clothing itself being similar to her previous outfits. I think the issue is the change in angle — now that we're looking up at her for a vague upskirt, her skirt has gone from widening her shape to a backdrop framing her legs; the pale blue and white of the section actually in front of her blend into that backdrop while the black mostly emphasizes the narrowness of her body with a side of teehee skirt flying up. (Don't look too closely at how her legs connect to her torso.) Similarly her shoulders appear much narrower now that her shawl's been replaced with this even-more-than-sleeveless top, with the bonus black armband drawing attention just in case we hadn't noticed the exposed skin. She was always skinny but this outfit is the first to draw attention to it. The change that really gets me though, which I don't think got mentioned in the episode, is how everything is suddenly shiny and 3D. Girl where did this depth come from?? She's paying her way through college by working at the local maid cafe and being forced to participate in the Real Adult World of capitalism is represented by existing in a space with perspective, a quality famously antithetical to nature. My big objection though is that she's been shinyfied to match. Her previous images are very sparse with skin contour, the closest they really get is her stockings. Now that she's in her work uniform, not only are her stockings twice as shiny, their aura of contouring has enveloped all of her limbs. I strongly dislike the detailed armpit musculature here despite it being well done because this girl was not meant to look this three-dimensional. Get her back in natural outdoor lighting stat!!

Anyways Soul-Colored Fantasy is phenomenally executed, skins that manage to be this compelling with such an impractically revealing outfit are few and far between. That said this Hinata is from an AU. This is not an outfit she would wear to the Mahjong Soul Shrine, it's an outfit she would wear to play mahjong in Final Fantasy XIV

mmm, true. i mean, my ick still comes mostly from the similarity to scary deer legs hana ninomiya, but the change in color palette is also a good catch. i don't want to look at her legs thank you

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Lemme do a small gameplay take cuz the takes ain't flowing much:

I think the Hoshido sisters are some of the best units out of the siblings.

Hear me out! And maybe this is just my luck with the rng gods but listen!

We know Ryoma is like the most OP with a rather good Def and Res and with Astra very early on (as in like a few levels after you get him), he is pretty great without using extra seals, anything else is a surplus.

However the rest of the siblings both in Nohr and Hoshido don't share this trait, you could make the case with Leo since he gets lifetaker not long after getting him but it takes SO.LONG. to grow his sword usage so he could use his ice blade that has a better attack than the Brynhyldr (yes i had to google the name).

So let me give you a run down, this is with heart and partner seals mostly btw (i didn't want to use friendship yet cuz omg i need to do a lot of math and give it a lot more time) not just growing to the one that makes more sense for the character.

I feel like after Ryoma in a 1 to 9 list of sibling units in Fates it's Hinoka. She can get without external help Rend Heaven and Quixontic (the latter helping any other active abilities) and can get Amaterasu which just really fits with the character because she is the nicest (besides Elise) to all of the army remembering their names and being considerate with em.

In my first run I married her to Hinata which gave her Astra and vantage and, because of the Quixontic, she was a fucking killing machine. You also can really make use of her magic stat with the bolt nagonata, she just snipes almost anyone that gets in front of her.

Camilla has a very similar situation, with Savage Blow very easy to get and Lifetaker as well, she is pretty great. However with her axe she doesn't snipe as often as Hinoka, maybe that's just my luck, i have them both on the same level. Bolt axe also works super well with Camilla. I think Camilla's biggest problem is her rather low Res compared to Hinoka, since both have very similar defense and both could easily crumble with a small arrow.

Then Sakura and Elise are super close in ranking but Sakura wins because she has pretty solid defense and resistence, which some might say it's not that big of a deal, bit with Mirage and Miracle and Renewall she is a great tank, just give her a shining bow and she is sniping bitches left and right, i also gave her Lethality with Saizo and can easily get Astra with Hana, so she is a BEAST.

She was the only one that could resist really an attack from Anankos, unlike the rest of the sibs (from what i was able to see, again my luck and opportunity didn't allow me to test all) that would end with like a third or an eight if their life after attacking Anankos, she was left with 5/12's like almost a half and with dragon ward it was better, she was chilling.

Elise is also fantastic, especially of you get her Savage blow and lifetaker, with the moonlight tome, she can take maybe 2 rounds at most, but she is still a glass canon all things considered, she does base like 70 HP a lot of the time but they can easily kill her.

Leo, again pretty great overall with Savage blow, Lifetaker and I was able to give him Sol with Charlotte which really helped him because he is also a bit of a glass canon just that he doesn't pack as much punch as Elise can, magic wise.

Xander, though a great tank, he really needs someone else active in battle to help him dispatch cuz both Siegfried and his Lance don't pack as much punch as like Raijinto for example. I was able to give him Luna besides Aegis and Savage blow because i married him to Beruka but it still had quite a but to be desired.

Takumi, maybe i didn't grew him right, bit he is more of a glass canon than Elise frfr, he can barely, maybe endure a turn tbh. The Fujin Yumi being only 2 range really makes him super vulnerable and, even with rend heaven and quixonic, maybe astra and vantage or lifetaker he could be better but idk he was just very brittle overall, which is interesting cuz he actually has a more than decent defense.

Azura for me was the hardest to grow, maybe because i married her with Jakob un my Rev playthrough, maybe with Arthur or Kaden (her husbands in my conquest and Birthright plays) she could be a bit better with Sol and 5+ HP or Rend Heaven and Quixotic, cuz i only was able to get her some falcon knight and kinshi knight stuff that isn't súper active or helpful. Maybe with miracle and renewal too but idk. She really needs some armor jeez.

Anywho my ranking from strongest sib to weakest:

Ryoma (good base, can get great surpluses)

Hinoka (super flexible in the best ways, could both be a super or an amazing healer)

Sakura (great tank with healing abilities, give her magic bow and bang bang)

Elise (Glass canon that could endure more if you train her more)

Camilla (Great unit but doesn't snipe as much and cannot heal so she is more of a one trick wonder, sadly. Maybe if she were a War cleric, she would rock)

Leo (also very flexible but not enough to be great, gotta kneed him and work him to be great)

Xander (Good tank, needs a lot of help killing tho and a lot of kneeding too)

Takumi (also need a ton of kneeding to be good but fujin yumi really leaves him vulnerable multiple times)

Azura (cousin, put on some armor you are gonna die for the 35th time PLEASE-) (maybe in a level with a ton of sourcerers, since she has actually a pretty good res, with a hexlock spear, a javalin and a good protect buddy and healing buddy, it would be a massacre)
