*grips Shen Qingqiu by the shoulders*

aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to crack under the pressure of the system and the robbed autonomy of being forced into a role you had no choice in but have to play anyways? don't you want to buckle under the realization that, to you, no matter what you do your life is going to end in a horrific death? Whether that be under Luo Binghe's hands or the System's?

Don't you want to realize that no matter all the good you have done and the lives you have changed and saved, you're still standing at the ledge of a cliff with a sword to your disciple's chest?

Shouldn't it be you at the edge instead? Balancing on the crumbling dirt's end of death on either side, and you can either walk into it or be forced?

don't you want to go apeshit?

The return of some old faces

I finally got around to fleshing them out, so here's some more info on them under the cut:

They're all students at New Salem University and share a dorm room together. Demonique and Luci have been longtime friends, attending elementary and middle school in Hell before transferring to Monster High together, while Fangel is newer to the friend group, but feels as though she's always belonged with these ghouls.

Fangel attended Belfry Prep her whole un-life until she was able to escape that stuffy and intolerant environment once she graduated and started college. She never agreed with traditional vampire values, and always kept friends outside of school that were different monster types, and she's absolutely thriving in campus life.

Demonique may or may not have feelings for her vampire friend, but knows that she's already in a happy and committed relationship, and so she keeps her feelings hidden. Aside from that she's super chill and often the voice of reason. She's also incredibly creative, and is apart of all kinda of clubs on campus.

As Lucifer's eldest child, Luci is set to become the new ruler of Hell once her father retires. She's actually pretty hyped about it, and figures a business degree will help her become an effective ruler. She's the campus's resident party girl, and given her popularity, she's known for throwing the biggest college parties around. Given her status, she's able to get away with more than the average student, but she tries not to abuse this power too much.

I'm actually so obsessed with him it's not even funny if i'm not listening to a TikTok or music directly related to him I can't focus free me free me

This is @/cherubpuppet's OC for a object show [au? pitch? wip show? How do I categorize this] and I've been destroyed by the fact that ruler art is infinitely superior [and 10x longer] and i don't have a good enough grasp on lip gloss's personality to make fanfiction so I am frozen in "want make fanart but fanart takes effort :["

Class of '09 Character (In)consistencies

So while I was on Twitter, I saw one artist have some frustrations with the way the fandom views the characters, and only caring about yuri, but then this QRT summed up everything pretty well when it comes to that stuff.

I'm not a huge fan of certain characterizations when it comes to reading fanfic within Co09, but it never bothered me because 1) coming into a fandom late has it's pros so I barely see characterizations that I personally don't like; 2) this is just typical fandom environment. I've seen it before in previous fandoms, and definitely way more rampant when I spent more time in Genshin, so seeing Co09 characters be mischaracterized is sooo tame compared to stuff that went on there.

I also heavily agree with them saying that the creator doesn't maintain consistency with his own characters which contributes to why there's so many versions of each character, especially Nicole, when it comes to fan content.

In the first game, Nicole is meant to be a "sociopath" but with the environment around her, it's easy to see her as this traumatized teenager who happened to slip through the cracks of society and is on the slow descent to becoming an even more messed up person. The route that felt like it actually had something to say was the People Pleaser Route/Suicide Ending (probably my favorite route out of all). I know it's bias, but I personally go with this characterization of Nicole the most when it comes to looking and consuming fan content.

The second game is basically SBN trying to crank up her sociopathy to 11 (torturing Megan, abusing Ari, selling crack route). Re-Up did bring a lot of increased popularity for Class of '09, and probably why you have some fans conflicting between "Abusive Nicole" and "Sociopathic and Depressed but Not Entirely a Devil Nicole". I mean I guess I can see him trying to "fix" not making Nicole more unlikeable in the first game. This version of Nicole is the one I think of when I imagine Co09 "toxic-abusive" yuri.

The third game was meant to show Nicole being completely irredeemable, but Re-Up did a better job with that. The creator didn't need to have her participating in some feet shit to show that. Not to mention, it's still inconsistent because Re-Up Nicole wouldn't have talked down to Jecka being a "foot whore" (or sex workers in general) especially when she says this during the Homeless Route in Re-Up:

Yeah, you could argue that she says this because she's in this situation herself, but also...she really didn't have to be.

And then in the anime pilot, Nicole was really really chill compared to Jecka starting shit over a Chipotle burrito at Hot Topic. She goes from protesting, to bribing Jeffery with boob pics to hold up the line, to luring in predators at the store, then trying to douse the place in syrup.

While I found this subplot funny, I thought that this could've easily been something (Re-Up) Nicole would do. Nicole got herself into a whole mess with selling crack just because she didn't want to actually do her history assignment. She wanted to fuck Megan over just because she didn't like how she talked at her. She came up with some whole scheme involving plagiarizing Mein Kampf to try and get Ms. Ames fired because she hated being in Remedial English.

Re-Up Jecka would probably tell Anime Jecka to calm down and say it's not worth all the effort to put Hot Topic out of business just because she can't eat her burrito there.

The one part I'd say that was very "Nicole" (other than her being a deadbeat and refusing to get a job) was when she sold out Jecka to the mall cop to get the Fuck Belt.

The betrayal also makes more sense and feels more grounded than what she did in Flip Side.

And when Nicole tries to win back Jecka's favor, she genuinely looks stumped (and maybe even a little upset) that her friend is mad at her.

Bro...which Nicole is the real one man? Because at this point, it seems like any of them can be.

I get mischaracterization can be annoying, but if the creator can't even write his main character consistently, then why should the fan artists/fanfic writers care? There are strong characteristics that are still important to maintain to keep them "in-character", but it's honestly a free-for-all when imagining them in what direction they'd go to. Even if Nicole, Jecka, and the rest of the cast feel OOC, at least those fanfic writers keep their writing consistent.
