Stray Gods Character Design Thoughts

In order we're going Pan, Apollo, Persephone, Eros, Aphrodite and a little bit of Venus! Disclaimer that I have no professional experience in character design at all, so these are only my vibes-based ramblings and observations purely for fun and because my brain simply won't shut up about this game haha. Also I will freely admit Pan probably gets the most attention in this because of who I am as a person and where my heart truly lies at the end of the day lol

PAN

Ok, first of all I have so many questions and they all delight me. This guy is the god of the wild places ("Where else would I be, but among the trees and the wild things?"), he lives in a magical garden on top of an office building... and he’s walking around everywhere in an expensive three piece tailored suit (when Freddie accuses him of being a sleaze in a cheap suit he protests mildly that his suit is anything but cheap haha). The cut of it is really carefully thought out and planned, but the bold colours under the grey coat and (studied I am sure) careless details like the tie also make it fun and playful. Which is pleasingly coherent with the general theme of his character in the writing too and I adore it.  

This is not the point, I know, but I’m wondering how he makes that work just like. Practically now. Has Athena fixed up Olympus with in-house laundry service? And other sentences I did not expect to type out today lol. Ah well he’s wily I’m sure he has his ways. 

I can't heap enough praise on it, this design is SUCH an interesting and elegant marriage of the immediately recognizable satyr features and thus animal symbolism with all its added pagan weight in a post-Christianity setting, and the sort of ‘man of wealth and taste’ imagery of the devil at the crossroads they clearly want to evoke, especially in his first scene. And partially through his mannerism there’s also an added element of like… eccentric but surprisingly competent college professor — just look at the way he carries himself whenever he isn’t putting on the charm or when he’s being guarded and self-contained. That little hands resting on his back pose exudes ‘nerd’ so deeply to me haha. (Incredibly fuckable nerd, to be sure, but still!)

you don't fool me buddy I know what you are. I know all the trouble you went to to get a book.

His body language shifts very quickly between wild playful expressiveness and a sort of nonchalant urbane detachment that borders on coldness sometimes, and it fascinates me. Especially since that more refined unavailable side seems to be something he’s deliberately cultivated, to some extent. When Grace calls him out on how boring it sounds to just let yourself go numb and distant to survive, he doesn’t deny that at all, only saying that at least it’s been quite effective. 

Putting the rest under a cut to save people's dashes! I may, as they say, have gotten a tiny bit carried away.

Physically he’s not very imposing — he’s only a little taller than Grace, and the shortest of all of the love interests, which I find somehow very charming and also plays into him being more of a guile-based character. “Seeing as I am neither big nor truly bad, it behooves me to be wary of those who are both” indeed!

I’m fairly sure he’s the character wearing the most layers. Even his hands are mostly covered by gloves. He partially covers up his eyes with the tinted glasses — interesting, as one of the features that most give his real nature away with their sidewise pupils, and the lenses are tinted purple as the complimentary colour to yellow, so it downplays just how bright they are. All together it’s very much a ‘well, he’s certainly got to be in there somewhere’ sort of vibe at times. (Since he also seems to care about his clothes quite a bit — he complains about scuffing his pants during the climb in the Medusa mission if you go the lockpick route — I have drawn the conclusion that getting him out of all of that must take quite a bit of time, no matter how much practice he’s probably put in over the years of meeting 'delicious people' lol) 

It’s a design that manages to give, at the same time: animal-featured ancient god, deal with the devil, teacher, overtones of con man if you’re inclined to be Freddie-levels of uncharitable lol, eccentric rich weird uncle… there’s a lot going on here and somehow it all works haha. He isn’t wearing any jewelry at all unless you count the glasses, which now that I’m looking at the rest of the character designs in this game is actually fairly rare among them!

His eyes really are incredibly bright when uh naked as it were, though. I like the implication that he is aware of this and actually goes out of his way to downplay it, even when he’d normally be wearing glamour anywhere it would strictly matter for it to show. Between that, the meaningful zoom in on him at the Underworld when Apollo says that all the Idols can be themselves there even if they don’t look human, Pan claiming he’s been distrusted and side-eyed by the others basically since the beginning and seeming kind of frustrated and hurt about it, in his deflecting way, and the implication of a hierarchy among the Idols at least under Athena’s leadership in this stained glass painting (notably all the visibly non-human Idols/hangers on are at the bottom, and Hecate, Asterion and especially Medusa are the characters most affected and confined by the oppressive status quo Athena upholds)...

this one! sing it with me now EVERYBODY LEAVES THIS PLACE ALIVEEE ok we can move on

you know, some possible Subtext and Implications going on here, I’d say. (It is only potential subtext and implication, though, so, you know, take my extrapolations here with a grain of salt!) He certainly doesn’t do himself many favors with the persona he’s built up in regards to being trusted and included either, but his status as a little bit of an outsider does seem to precede that so I feel like it’s more of a response than the main cause. Along the same lines he gets much more testy about the Green route of ‘I Can Teach You’ than he does about you just not choosing him in the Red one, he takes that pretty gracefully. So it is the being deliberately kept on the outside and openly distrusted and dismissed that gets to him. (To be clear I don't think openly distrusting a strange guy showing up in your living room like that is at all unreasonable either haha I just think the nuances of his response are enlightening as to where he's really coming from)

this one isn't even to illustrate anything it's just because I love him so much and think he's pretty I'll be real with you all

Anyway I just keep thinking about how incredibly tender it would be if sometimes, when they’re in private, Grace takes his glasses off to see his eyes better and he lets her. That shakes something deep in my soul apparently. That fucks me up but like in a good way.

APOLLO

- Apollo’s style of dress leaves his navel helpfully exposed for the copious amounts of depressed gazing he habitually subjects it to. (I say this not entirely without affection.) 

a crumpled tissue of a man

In keeping with his incredibly emo mode, there’s very little colour involved and he doesn’t take much care to present anything with care (look at the state of that shirt and tell me if Apollo has picked up an iron in the last forty years), BUT interestingly he’s not entirely open and unadorned, he does wear that network of jewelry across his chest and neck. Which I think is to show that the old Apollo is not entirely gone (“There he is, god of the sun”), even if he has been a sack stuffed with sad for a long time now. I wonder how many of these things are leftover preferences from being only Lucas — presumably the tattoos at least are from before he fished Apollo up from the sea? If I’m reading the vibes right on that, the blue of the tattoos and the gold of the sun… thingy he wears with the jewelry are the main splashes of colour in his design aside from his hair, and they’re both ‘leftovers’ from both his previous lives, surfer bro and solar deity recently fallen on hard times. Physically he would be tall and imposing, parodically built, except that he carries himself with all the confidence and panache of a damp depressed dishrag. 

Also I can’t believe this guy is walking around everywhere in sandals. Apollo makes sad flip-flop sounds wherever he goes, including when he steps up during ‘The Trial’. That’s so amazingly pathetic (affectionate). 

We can see from the photo with him and Calliope that he wasn’t always quite this much of a mess. Once, he did his shirt up a whole maybe four buttons and wore something that wasn’t beige!

Intellectually I acknowledge that it's a design meant to provide fanservice, even though I personally could not consider this guy in a sexual or romantic light if you gave me a thousand years to build up to it. (I've said it before but if he's anything to me, he is the incredibly fail father figure continually letting me down in tiny ways I never had.) Godspeed to the Apollo-enjoyers out there, though, Summerfall gave him those abs and that poor little meow meow energy just for you and it's your right to enjoy that

- Pan and Apollo also bring out some really interesting contrasts both as characters and designs when you hold them up against each other:  

Once you scratch the surface a tiny bit Pan clearly has just as much self-loathing as Apollo (“If Athena had taken me up on my offer, the Idols would have been better off” uh. Okay buddy we’re gonna have to process that one together later what do you say), but where Apollo is completely helplessly open in his misery at all times, you need to unbutton Pan at least three layers until you get a honest or straightforward emotion out of him and I think that’s amazingly carried through into their visual designs. It's Good Visual Storytelling Brent   

PERSEPHONE

- I’m fairly sure the colour of Persephone’s suit is supposed to evoke pomegranate seeds. See and judge for yourself I suppose: 

She also has details on her coat that depict foliage and growing plants, but colour-wise they and the rest of the detailing is in the blue-green that symbolizes the Underworld and so death. Her jewelry is gold, which — and I’m about to do some reaching here, I’ll be big enough to own — could play in with Hades being the god of riches as well as of the dead/the underworld. Probably it’s because it works well with the colour scheme, but I’m going to pretend that it’s because even if she didn’t get the throne she did get that motherfucker’s hoard when she killed him <3 Love that for her. Her jewelry is more rose gold than Apollo’s yellow gold, too. Watch me go for even more of a reach: between the necklace and the watch, those round discs of gold remind me of the coins put on the eyes of the dead but like you know repurposed since she doesn't need them to pay the Ferryman. I never promised I'd be reasonable in this did I.  

The short hair works real well for the butch vibe and looks amazing no notes, but I think it’s also a deliberate way to differentiate herself from her younger self — when speaking of Demeter’s death, she says that moment was also the final death of that young her, ‘that girl with the long hair who loved her gardens’. Clearly the Idols do a lot of reinventing themselves over the ages in more and less conscious ways.

She has a tattoo of what looks to be foliage and a skull across her left chest and arm. I really like that idea of her having the testament to both sides of her — goddess of spring, queen of the underworld — directly on her skin, under two layers of clothes that each represent those aspects. The one on her arm looks like stalks of grain tied together to resemble the bones of the hand/forearm, maybe? which is metal as fuck, needless to say. 

She is TALL and scary and the staging always plays that up, Grace tends to look up at her like O.O. I love how sharp she is too. 

Also she is incredibly hot but you don’t need me to tell you that you all have eyes I assume. 

EROS, APHRODITE and VENUS:

- I love literally everything about Eros’ design except his hair. Not even the concept of the haircut and colours or anything, just the way it’s rendered. It looks like one strange flat cap I can’t quite make understandable in three dimensional space as hair in my head lol. Other than that it’s a banging design though, the delicate see-through material over the leather BDSM harness is genius. Choosing this form of sensuality and attractiveness for him to embody -- one that is so deeply queercoded -- also works super well. The warmth and vulnerability of his body language on top of it is *chef's kiss*. just. please define his hair a bit more and it's perfect haha.

- I'm not sure I have that much to say about Aphrodite’s design except that of course she is beauty she is grace etc., it takes a lot of thought to make such a simple design shine and by god did they do it she’s so stunning. Also interesting how her dark blues and greens with cool/silvery details contrast with Venus’ warm reds and pinks and… brass? Idk I don’t really understand jewelry haha. All warmth and soft romanticism, anyway, it looks nice. (Side note but I love Venus’ rose tattoo.) Eros and Venus have much more matching colour schemes and they both bring those islands of warmth standing around Aphrodite in her shimmering ocean coolness. (Which of course is something she has to deliberately put on before going into public these days, and is unselfconsciously glamorous in the way of an old timey Hollywood starlet, as the blue route of 'The Ritual' lampshades)

:') *whisper* everybody...

Venus is wearing pearls, which is pleasing considering her connection to Aphrodite (and the backgrounds of the 'Lost in a Moment' variant of 'The Ritual')! and both of her and Aphrodite's outfits go for a shoulderless look to great effect.

ETA: When the camera is close on Aphrodite you can actually see that she has dark circles under her eyes, only partially covered by the makeup :'( I didn't notice that before I played through 'The Ritual' on a bigger screen today

All in all I just want to acknowledge what a fantastic job the character designers at Summerfall Studios have done! There are some really fresh new takes on these mythological figures here, and it makes so much sense within the world the game presents without resorting to well-worn and tired iconography, I really do admire it greatly.

Gaying up Ppg inspo'd by @cutepastelstarsalior

Buttercup is transmasc genderfluid and butch with she/they pronouns.Good 'ol classic 'tomboy to tboy pipeline' but no he pronouns for a nice twist-Buttercup is a boy in a she/they kinda way

Bubbles is a trans girl who's out and proud about her transfeminism but her dysphoria is actually a fairly regular thing-Not at first but as she grew up,trans.phobic kids gained awareness and were mean so that dowered on her but thankfully she has her family and friends to help her

Blossom is also a trans girl but lowkey about it until adulthood when she becomes an transfem rights activist,starting by announcing her identity on live tv in an epic speech.She's also a lesbian☝🏽

Butch is agender transmasc with he/him pronouns in his bio and ironically enough,femme.I think it's a good twist of the groddy ahh feminization of Buttercup and fits him lowkey and as a trans boygirl with Butchercup as a childhood comfort ship,it's my godgiven right to declare them with transmasc4transmasc swag

Boomer is a trans boy based purely on vibes.He's a himbo but also kind of a bitch,well-intentioned but tries not to show it to 'man up' and everybody draws him like a surfer dude in his teenage/adult years so that gives him tboy swag by default.Boomubbles is transmasc4transfem excellence and they transitioned together as childhood frenemies

Brick is a transfem nonbinary lesbian who uses she/he and neither butch nor femme and she just kinda vibes with whatever drip and attitude exudes 'gay and not into dudes in the slightest bit.Blossick are toxic yuri /hj

Robin is a lesbian and grows up date Princess who's also a lesbian and they're soft butch 4 ghetto fabulous femme(Princess is black and so're the Ppg and Rrb)in an 'i can fix her' 'WAIT I ACTUALLY DID?!' dynamic

Ace is aroace so nobody can ship him with Buttercup(Yes that's a thing.Ac///ercup is the worst Ppg villain actually).Also it just fits,he reminds me of my non-partnering aroace buds

And Professor Utonium is bisexual and transgender because i'm married to him.Ty

[crystalelemental]

Full tier list is here, breakdown of D-tier. I can generally be inclined to like these ones, but you know. They're a little lacking.

Mallow: Couldn't tell you why, but I cannot get into her games iteration. Anime Mallow's cool, and dating Lillie.

Chuck: I love Johto, I'm a bit biased.

Cheren: My wife will be mad, but I think he's kinda bland. His arc doesn't feel like it goes very far.

N: Now this is potentially controversial. I don't really care about N. I think he's kind of uninteresting. There are tidbits of interest, but I think he fails to seriously stick the landing as a dude with stuff going on, and is also like weirdly belligerent when you disagree with him on literally anything.

Pryce: Johto fan, sorry.

Melli: Listen. He's a bitch. I kinda love that for him.

Dreyden: Neat dragon man.

Roark/Kiawe: Sure.

Brycen: I kinda like that he acts as a villain, but otherwise not doing much.

Roxie: I owe an apology to someone, but I stand by it. She's not that interesting to me.

Juniper: she's a decently fun professor figure.

Arezu: she's kinda cute, has a bit of attitude, the game doesn't lean into much with her though.

Ryme: I couldn't tell you. I just didn't feel it. I'm not happy about it either. This is the unfair one.

Olympia: uninteresting.

Grusha: Volkner vibes, but at least he feels young and like there's a reason for his ennui given his snowboarding career's end.

Acerola: kinda quirky but does very little.

Tulip: just doesn't exude much.

Zisu: she's fun enough.

Kamado: Kind of a shithead but I think for interesting reasons. Still don't like him.

Dendra/Miriam: Sure, I'll ship that on the side.

Mai: Daybreak made me like her less. Oops.

Rose: Dude you are so close to being Lysandre-esque but you just miss the mark.

Colress: I legitimately don't know what the point of you is. Seriously, why are you here? What's your goal?

Brawly/Sidney/Phoebe/Aaron: they're fine.

Brock: The anime did not grip me, and he does nothing otherwise.

Nessa: Just never felt the connection.

Oak: "Oh, the most esteemedest professor ever who-" did fuck-all. His only achievement was the Pokedex, and invention we find out is at least two centuries old. Get with it.

Allister: boring.

Karen/Bruno: E4 members I feel very little about.

Elm: I always felt some like because Johto but he really is like the least interesting professor in some ways.

Milo/Byron: sure.

Raifort: Listen to me. I should love her but for some reason I cannot get into it. I could not tell you what the blockage is, I just cannot connect with her.

Hapu: we need to talk about her hands. Those are not hands a human has.

Villain flunkies: these ones have personality!

Zossie/Dulse: I don't remember Ultra Moon's goons but I hated them. These two had a cuter dynamic so I had a bit of attachment, but very little.

Drayton: kind of a punk bitch. I am down for his dynamic with Carmine, but not because of him. I think she should break his bones.

Palmer: he's fine I guess.

Crispin: exudes nothing.

Riley/Marley: sure.

Saturn/Jupiter: less personality than Mars.

Petrel: My man, but he is still a Rocket.

Plumeria: being Team Mom to the goon squad does nothing for me.

Camera lady: Literally forgot her name. WAIT PERRIN! I don't care about her. I do not find her pretty and hate her outfit.

Green: she has some quirkiness but they don't really let her do anything fun.

Protag squad: sure.

Masters squad: Masters OCs do nothing for me, sorry. I think gacha OCs are more in the way than anything.

Hello💕 14 and 20 for Regulus!!

Omfg okay so first of all for 14, I think Regulus has this sort of dark academia vibe in what he wears. Not quite Professor Lupin-esque, but I imagine he enjoys a good blazer-turtleneck combo. Rather than giving off a teacher vibe though, he sort of exudes this sort of confident artist vibe.

Oversized jumpers and low cut button-ups with billowing sleeves overtop a black mock-neck all tucked neatly into his slacks. A plethora of Silver rings adorn his fingers except for a single gold band engraved with the sun. A simple leather belt, a silver necklace with a pair of star-shaped charms; a matching set with the one that Sirius wears. The only Jewelry that might appear out of place is a pink, white, and blue beaded bracelet that Pandora made for him.

(Did I just describe exactly what I aspire my fashion to be every day of my life? Yes, absolutely.)

20- Regulus's ideal best friend... Listen, I'm going to be so real rn, it's Remus. 😂 Platonic Moonwater is one of my favorite things to both read and write in this fandom. They're both quiet, they're both somewhat judgmental, and they're both brilliant. Give me a couple of best friends who can plan out a crime and get away with it. And then afterward go out to get tea together and visit a bookstore.

I will also say that the Slytherin Squad + Pandora, or Whatever it is we're calling them, is 100% a god-tier family for my boy. Everyone needs each other and they're so unwell and I love them so much. It's hard to pick a best friend from them because they're all so great for each other collectively. <3

Hence, Platonic Moonwater. It just makes sense to me that his ideal best friend isn't the same as his family, just an extension of it.

Random thoughts I had during my fifth viewing of the cinematic masterpiece "Cocktail" (1988)

Well... more like my 5 2/3 viewing bc I got like 2/3 through it and then my mom was like "why didn't you tell me you were gonna watch it, I would have wanted to watch it too" so I lied about how far I was through it "there's still a lot left we can start it over" and I watched the same movie almost twice in a row in the span of a few hours :)

"Wild Again" by Starship is one of the only good songs tbh, although "Addicted to Love" and "When Will I Be Loved" are also pretty alright. But the soundtrack is lowkey horrendous imo

I stand by my previous standalone post- no one has ever been that excited to get on a fkin Greyhound bus

Benefit of the bus, however- the scene with him and the baby; I feel like Tom just vibes really well w kids because he's such a smiley, fun, and chaotic lil guy and gREAT now I have baby fever again thx 💖

Oh the blatant plot exposition about his parents that they beat us over the head with oh-so-subtly

Oh the foreshadowing throughout that is even less subtle

One of my favorite quotes in any movie, bc it makes me feel better about my life being in disarray and not knowing what to do about it, I guess, is the “Most things in life, good and bad, just kinda happen to ya.”

Tom's still got his high little baby voice 😩

Even as a college graduate, the interviewing scene hits way too hard 🥲😩

Someone needs to acknowledge that the Red Eye looks like the most disgusting thing

Wish the dress shirt and tie fit had been featured more because it does things to me, but the scenes contrasting his first and second shift at the bar are when I first developed TC brain rot and fell in love w that lil goofball

I can’t judge the girl giving him the "fuck me eyes" bc have you seen him, plus she’s showing restraint compared to what I would do tbh

The adult learners usually drove me nuts in my classes (which I know is terrible but shhhhh) but I felt so bad for Sheila Rivkin

This professor really thinks he’s doing standup comedy or smth

Honey don’t put your face on the subway stairs that's arguably more disgusting than a Red Eye

The timeline of this movie is pretty hard to follow tbh; much as I adore it, you never know every time a scene changes whether it's been two days or like 3 months

What the actual fuck was the whole yuppie poet thing about- it's like when I used to watch those 60s Frankie and Annette movies where the weirdest shit would just happen for no reason and I felt like there was some social commentary or inside joke or smth that was just going way over my head that, if I had existed in that time, would have just been like "oh yeah that makes total sense"

The amount of raw sexual energy that this man exudes- I remember someone's post from a while back that was like "why is Cocktail like a 'mom' movie that all the moms are still obsessed with" but just like imagine if you saw this in theaters when it first came out

The only man allowed to wear beach shirts and look sexy, change my mind

I've always thought Elisabeth Shue is so incredibly underappreciated as an actress, smth about her line delivery and expressions just seems very genuine and naturalistic idk

She just orders “a beer” WHAT KIND???

So scary tbh how much he was becoming like Doug even being apart from him for a while

The side eye and shade Jordan gives Doug in this scene cracks me up every time without fail

The reggae singer absolutely popping tf off in his silver lamé suit ✨

Brian and Jordan both pulling the “I’m not like other girls” lmao

Sure she’s lowkey a manic pixie dream girl but I still love her

WATCH THE ROAD WHILE U DRIVIN THE CAR BRIAN 😤

If this movie was remade in modern times (God forbid) Brian would 100% be one of those guys with a hustle culture boss up motivational entrepreneur Instagram account. And Doug would perhaps be one of those cringy creepy pickup artists that talks about low-value women and compares them to horses and thinks he can mind-trick them into falling madly in love w him

If someone was waking me up early every morning to drink carrot juice I would commit crimes

The artist guy who made that exhibit looks like the oiliest man I’ve ever seen

Jordan’s dad says “bartender” like it’s a slur

When Brian tears up the check it always makes my lil heart just 💗💫🥺 the character evolution

Why did I only have this thought on my like fifth viewing of this movie, but I wonder if he hadn’t escorted Kerry back to her apartment if he would have gotten back in time to save Doug, and then who knows what would’ve happened bc then he wouldn’t have felt compelled to tell Jordan how much he really loved her and ask Pat for help and all that

WHEN HE FIGHTS EVERYONE OFF TO GET TO JORDAN what can I say, I'm a sucker for grand and melodramatic romantic gestures and proclamations of love

The teasing and singing along at the wedding is getting a little too real guys stop making this awkward 👀😬

I don’t care how unrealistic the end is, and that in real life they would have 100% soon gotten divorced, bc I want to believe that people can change and that all of the tribulation was worth it + enough for Brian to become a good dad/husband and successful but with it not being above and at the expense of his family; he would be such a fun and chaotic dad and their life would be so hectic w twins but I want to believe they could do it :( it comforts my cynical and depression-addled brain to believe they could do it :(

Joseph and Delilah for the 'If They Had A Kid' meme?

Thank you for asking! 🥰🥰

Name: Elisha (Eli) Seed

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Approximately 6’1” (tall like Joseph), sad puppy dog eyes, messy light brown hair, exudes chaotic professor vibes when he’s older

Personality: pensive, withdrawn, and shy, accused of being moody but really he’s just a little anxious. Can and will talk for hours if you get him going on the right topic and show interest.

Special Talents: literature and theology, like, he loves studying literature in a bunch of different forms. Philosophy, poetry, fiction, plays, etc.

Who they like better: Gets along really well with Delilah, but has more in depth conversations with Joseph due to their mutual interest in theology. However, that means sometimes they also get into debates about it and things get a little tense when he starts to poke holes in some of Joseph’s ideas. But as they both age, Joseph becomes a little bit less… severe and they do their best to learn and grow from one another.

Who they take after more: He shares Joseph’s quiet temperament and thoughtfulness, but can be very headstrong and stubborn like Delilah. Physically he looks more like Joseph.

Personal Head canon: Absolutely adores his older sister, Joanna. Followed her around wherever he could when they were kids, and when he got a little older he’d write short stories and make little doodles of their inside jokes to please her (their own version of memes, cause the internet isn’t really a thing for them). If he and Joseph ever got into a heated argument, Joanna was the first one he would go to.

Face Claim: This random person I found on Pinterest 😂😂😂 no idea who they are, but just imagine they have blue eyes

At A Distance, Spring Is Green -BL Version (Yeo Jun x Nam Soo Hyun)-Chapter 20 : Light and Darkness

"Let's talk about what we thought about the other group's presentation." Soo Hyun addressed his team mates for the group project.

"They were good." Yeo Jun replied.

Kim So-Bin, "They were creative and I liked their stories."

"Why do you ask?" Gung-Ho questioned.

"We won't get the highest mark at this rate." Soo Hyun answered.

Surprised, Gung-Ho looked at Soo Hyun. "You wanted to get the highest mark?"

Chun-Guk elbowed his friend. "He always gets the highest marks."

"We'll try to make our story stand out." Soo Hyun went back to addressing the group. "But it has limits. Do you have any other ideas?"

"Then why don't we focus on casting?" Jun suggested.

"What or who did you have in mind?" Soo Hyun was curious.

Yeo Jun smiled at him. "Leave it to me."

The group was gathered for the next meeting.

"Did you find someone to cast?" Soo Hyun asked.

Yeo Jun looked at him. "I told you I'd take care of it."

"Who is it?"

"Kim Hye-Yoon."

"Why her?" Soo Hyun questioned.

"She reminds me of you when we first met." Jun replied.

"What?" Soo Hyun looked at him

"Is she a psycho too?" Gung-Ho asked. Everyone at the table looked at him. "Ahh..I mean, is she a unique soul as well?" he tried to cover his blunder.

"Did she agree to it?" Soo Hyun asked

"She would like to know the concept first." Soo-Bin informed him.

"The concept will be a bright and vibrant youth." Yeo Jun piped up.

"Would displaying a fantasy work?" Soo Hyun looked at Yeo Jun "It'll only seem unrealistic."

"I also agree that it should be more realistic." Chun-Guk added.

"So you want to go for hyperrealism?" Jun asked. "This is a PR video, not a documentary.Tough reality isn't what we wish to see in ad campaigns."

"That could be true for a commercial ad. We'd be right to only highlight the joy of youth. But this is a school assignment." pointed out

"Must it be heavy and dark though?" Jun countered.

"Let's be mindful of Professor Park's lessons. Would highlighting the positive side of youth speak out to him?"

"It only has to be fun and exude positive energy." Yeo Jun wasn't backing down "There's no need to consider the professor's preferences."

"But our grades are on the line." Soo Hyun looked at the stubborn person sitting across from him "Although, as a freshman, you probably wouldn't care."

"What does being a freshman have to do with this?" 

"Team Leader is right you know." Gung-Ho spoke. "As you all know,  I tanked my last assignment."

"I need a good score to make up for it." Chun-Guk finished Gung-Ho's thought.

"Me too." Hye-Jie agreed

"Still. What's fun to do leads to a good outcome." Kim Soo-Bin  offered her thoughts

Soo Hyun sighed. "I see we can't get on the same page." He closed his notebook "Well I have a class to get to."

He stood to his feet and looked at Yeo Jun. "I'll be home late after my shift."

Jun looked at him and pouted "I won't be home anyway."

Soo Hyun shook his head and slung his bag over his shoulder.

The others looked at the retreating Soo Hyun and the pouting Yeo Jun. These two were definitely giving off a weird vibe.

'"Is something up between you and Soo Hyun?" Kim Soo-Bin asked Yeo Jun as they walked to lunch like always.

"No." he replied. "We're as good as ever."

"I think you should reconsider his proposal." 

Yeo Jun looked at her in surprise. "Weren't you taking my side earlier?Make up your mind."

Soo-Bin chuckled. "I'm not really taking sides. I just think it might be better to show our realities and not just the positive side of things."

"My life is actually pretty dark." Yeo Jun sighed. "Or it used to be.But wouldn't we want to remember only happy memories when we look back at these times?"

"But the one in pain is still you as well." Soo-Bin replied.

"I'd rather discard him somewhere." Yeo Jun confessed.

"He still helped to make you who you are today."

"I guess you're right."

"Won't it be uncomfortable at home with Soo Hyun?"

Yeo Jun smiled. "Soo Hyun is prickly but he is not one to stay angry."

"You know him so well now." Soo-Bin said.

Yeo Jun looked at the clock by his bedside. 9pm. Soo Hyun had been home for atleast half an hour but he hadn't come close to him even once.

Prior to his arrival he'd been sitting in the living room waiting. When he heard the door lock he made a mad dash to the bedroom to save face a little.

Now so much time had passed and he hadn't even come to say hello. He was sure he knew he was home.

Was he really holding a grudge?

Jun frowned. 

Since Soo Hyun wasn't coming in, he would just go out and appear in his line of vision. He didn;t have to speak, he just needed him to see him.

Settled on that idea, Jun left the room. He was just at the bathroom door when he came face to face with Soo Hyun. They looked at each other before awkwardly looking away simultaneously.

"You should go first." Yeo Jun pointed to the bathroom door.

"No, you go ahead."

"I'm not that desperate you know." Jun insisted.

"Me neither."

"Elders first." Jun said

"It doesn't extend to peeing." Soo Hyun made a face.

Yeo Jun nodded. "Right. Since I'm younger, I'll go first."

Soo Hyun put out a hand to stop him. "No. I'll go first." he hastily stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

With Soo Hyun inside, Jun knocked on the door. "Just so you know, I really do need to go."

When Soo Hyun exited the bathroom, Yeo Jun was still waiting outside. Without a word, he stepped by him and made a beeline for the sofa.

A few minutes later Yeo Jun appeared.

"I'm craving a late night snack." he said, loud enough for Soo Hyun to hear.  "Maybe Pizza? or Fried Chicken?" Soo Hyun pretended not to hear "Tteokbokki?"

Jun pouted. He really was ignoring him.

Leaving Soo Hyun in the living room, he made his way to the kitchen.

A short while after, a delicious smell permeated the air.

"Gosh.This looks so good." Jun squealed as he stirred the pot. "I wonder how far the smell will travel."

Soo Hyun continued to pillow his head on his hands as he laid down in the sofa.

"Mm..This is too much for one person." Yeo Jun continued to speak loudly. "I guess I have no choice. I'll just have to throw it away."

Soo Hyun grunted and got up off the couch, making his way to the kitchen.

"What?" he raised a brow when Yeo Jun looked at him.

"This is just for me." Yeo Jun said "It's only one portion."

"One portion?" Soo Hyun questioned. "People just love to waste food."

Yeo Jun smiled at him. "Have some." he gave Soo Hyun a portion.

Soo Hyun dug in immediately. 

"If there weren't any food you'd pretend to be asleep." Yeo Jun 

"Why are you so worked up over this assignment?" Soo Hyun asked 

"I'm not."

"Is it the assignment or are there hard feelings towards me?" Soo Hyun was curious.

"I'm against that dark concept you suggested." Yeo Jun confessed.

"It's weird that you're this invested in it."

"I guess that's true." Jun agreed "But aren't you sick of it? It's been hard enough for us. Why must the assignment---"

"We should view reality as it is." Soo Hyun cut him off.

"Can't we escape it though?" Jun asked. "Once we run away from it we'll one day see that we escaped from it."

"One should try to overcome hardships." Soo Hyun disagreed.

"I don't want to do it right now though." Jun stated.

Soo Hyun looked at him "Will putting it off make it any better?"

"It could."

"As your senior I know---"

"You're playing the age card?" Yeo Jun cut him off.

"You're a freshman." Soo Hyun reminded him.

"As if that matters,old man."

Soo Hyun blinked. Old man?

"Some people cannot escape reality even if they want to." his voice was passionate. "We're already on the edge of a cliff."

"Are you challenging me to see who has it worse?" Yeo Jun asked

"Should we do it?" Soo Hyun challenged

"Bring it on!" Jun was defiant.

Kim Soo-Bin looked from one person to the other. Neither Yeo Jun nor Soo Hyun were saying anything.In fact,they weren't even looking at each other.

"What's with you two today?" she asked.

Yeo Jun, "What do you mean?" he smiled at her. "Do I perhaps look more handsome today?"

Soo Hyun rolled his eyes and clocked his tongue "What a narcissist."

Jun's eyes widened. "What did you just call me?" He looked at Soo Hyun "More you than me though."

They glared at each other.

"Don't tell me you two argued all night." Soo-Bin looked from one to the other. Each of them fell silent again "Or perhaps you were drinking all night without me."

"All night," Yeo Jun replied "We had tteokbokki."

"Tteokbokki?" Soo-Bin looked at Soo Hyun who nodded.

Just then his phone rang and Soo Hyun walked away. By his greeting, the other two knew it was his brother on the line.

"With his brother he's always the sweetest." Jun pouted.

Soo-Bin smiled. "Are you jealous.?"

"As if." Jun rolled his eyes. "We just don't click."

Soo-Bin laughed "But you like him alot right?" Yeo Jun bit his lip. "They say marital disputes never last long." Soo-Bin patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"Stop teasing ." he said to his friend.

"Why is my ear itchy?" Soo Hyun stuck a finger in his ear.

"Someone must be talking smack about you." his little brother replied. "So be nicer."

"Why are you here when you should be busy studying? What's the gift?"

His brother beamed at him "My gift? It's me." he made a cute pose.

Soo Hyun laughed and playfully pulled his brother's ear. "I hope you didn't spend too much."

"I didn't." Koo Hyun replied, reaching for something in his backpack on the ground beside them. "Here." he handed a brown book to Soo Hyun. "Mom sent it by post and told me to hand it to you."

"What is it?" Soo Hyun looked at the book. 

"Dad's journal."

"But why?--" Soo Hyun continued to look at it

"Mom said you wanted to be a cop just like dad. I had no idea.You  work shift after shift so that you can fund whatever dream I have"

"Why did she tell you that when it was way in the past?"

"Soo Hyun. Don't send money for my rent for for mom to spend." Koo Hyun said "You even paid back Dad's debt."

"Why are you saying this?" Soo Hyun asked "I'm fine."

"Well I'm not." his brother objected. "You should do what you want to do as well."

"Koo Hyun--"

"I'm an adult now. You made sure I grew up with a pretty face." his brother smiled at him "Want to send me to an orphanage now?"

Soo Hyun smiled at brother who was indeed not so little anymore.

Nam Soo Hyun looked at the book as he made his way to class. It was like a relic, a reminder of a dream long forgotten. Indeed it was true, once upon a time, just like his father he'd wanted to be a policeman.

He'd put on his father's uniform which was two sizes too big.He'd even saluted, promising his father that one day, one fine day, the Nam men would take a photo side by side in their uniforms.

That promise was never to be fulfilled.

His father left way too early and he had to grow up way too soon to shoulder the responsibilities left by behind.

Those dreams he had were left behind on a shelf, forgotten to collect dust.

Forward, he only had to move forward. The past was in the past and so, he made his way to class.

"Soo Hyun. Can we talk?" Yeo Jun caught up to Soo Hyun in the hallway."

"We're late for your team gathering." Soo Hyun pointed out.

"It won't matter if we're late."

"We made a promise with your teammates.So of course it matters." Soo Hyun replied before walking away.

Yeo Jun sighed and followed behind. If only he would just hear him out first.

When they arrived, everyone else had gathered and they got right down to business.

"The last time we couldn't decide what concept to go with." Soo-Bin opened, looking from Yeo Jun to Soo Hyun.

"I have a solution." Yeo Jun spoke up, bringing all eyes to focus on him "Let's do both. We can blend the concepts."

The others thought about it, nodding silently at the proposal.

"Soo Hyun. Are you okay with that?" Soo-Bin asked apprehensively.

With Soo Hyun's nod, they reached a consensus.

"So Darkness will be a character representing the dark side of youth." Yeo Jun explained. "While light will represent it's beauty ."

"We'll have darkness realizing the light within it after meeting light." Soo-Bin picked up "Who lives in a completely different world.What do you say?"

"We're out of time. So let's do that." Soo Hyun gave the greenlight.

"Then we should all tell our stories." Yeo Jun said. "Regarding the light and shadow of youth."

An awkward silence descended on the table as they looked at each other. 

"It's our team project. So it should be about us." Yeo Jun said.

"While sober?" Gung-Ho asked.

"My life only knows darkness." Chun-Guk said 

"I have nothing to add ." Hye-Jiecontributed

"We'll start with the team leader then." Yeo Jun looked at Soo Hyun. "Tell us about your shadows."

"Well...not being financially stable really took a toll on my life." Soo Hyun began "And it still does"

Gung-Ho cleared his throat. "I was most depressed before serving in the military ."

"Whenever my future seems uncertain. I escape reality through playing video games." Chun-Guk confessed.

"I had too many thoughts and worries which led me to lack confidence." Kim Soo-Bin said her piece. "It's why I gave up on things without even trying."

"What about you Hye-Ji?"

"Life hasn't been hard for me, but I've been stuck recently.It's not completely dark though."

Everyone looked at Yeo Jun.

"I--"

"Don't force a sob story." Gung-Ho chided "As if you've had it hard."

"We all spoke so--" Soo Hyun tried to intervene

"I haven't yet" Yeo Jun corrected, in a soft but firm voice.

Soo Hyun looked at him "You don't have to since you're highly against the shadows of our youth." he kept his eyes on him "I respect everyone's opinions"

"Now you do?" Yeo Jun had a determined look in his eyes.

Yeo Jun looked at Gung-Ho. "I see you haven't read the article on my father."

Soo Hyun sighed.

"Was an article published on his wealth and fame?" Gung-Ho asked, excited.

"I lived many years in darkness." Jun avoided Soo Hyun's eyes, knowing he was looking directly at him. "Due to my father's physical abuse."

Shock silence rippled across everyone's faces.

"Jun.." Soo-Bin said

"Don't  you worry though. I'm all better." He finally looked at Soo Hyun "I'm in the light." 

Soo Hyun looked at him. "See?" Yeo Jun said. "I told you we should have stuck to the lighter side of youth."

Here's a Free Prompt

Gojo Satoru is the worst roommate ever. He leaves his clothes everywhere, doesn't do dishes and every other night is a new girl and the walls are too thin to ignore.

Not to mention he's super rude and always in your space when you had tried to seduce your professor, Nanami Kento (who once he saw Gojo hasn't come within ten feet of you since!)

Not only does Gojo exude the vibes of an overbearing ex-husband, but he also treats you like his stubborn ex-wife! He won't stop teasing about your 'marriage' and all that's left is to make it 'official'.

And it turns out that when you get to your newest class, you realize that he not only shares the same name with the highest lauded professor on campus...

He is that professor.

Add in that sketchy adjunct Suguru Geto (who decides he also has a thing for you), and this semester is going to be a disaster.

[diavorchid]

Vyn Richter vs. Jack Seward

finally let myself sit down, think, and write this :D thanks @gabriel-shutterson for the vindication

here goes:

a) obvious:

doctor/psychiatrist

do a journal entry each day with a voice recorder

Jack owns a private asylum at 29 and Vyn (co-)owns a research & treatment centre at 27; both owning their own foundation at a young age

i think they're both still doing research? Vyn is a professor and Jack did want to make a breakthrough to help people

b) deeper:

Vyn's trope is love at the first sight. Jack falls in love with anyone in 5m radius that stays with him lol

...submissive. Jack "in our old adventures, quincey gave instructions and (arthur and) i followed" Seward and Vyn 2nd Anniversary SSR for the obvious one (tho it's always been there..👀)

there's this theme of Jack trying to prevent himself going on a path bc he knows it's where madness lies, he even questions he may even be mad; in Vyn top-up ssr iirc he has a friend who killed themselves and that friend loved their partner so much that it turned him possessive and hurt them, Vyn was shaken by this and afraid of what his love could become.

related to prev point, Jack's way of doing things is risky and sometime even borderline dangerous when he gives in to his curiosity; there's this conversation between Vyn and Darius in his PS Ch.3 where Darius disagreed with Vyn's way bringing MC to a dangerous PUA. [ss below] like, for both, the inclination is there.

difficulty in showing vulnerable side; Jack, in text, dictates men this women that but his actions shows that it's as if he's clinging desperately to follow that notion while fighting back his emotions, which eventually gets let out either way (worth nothing that what we've read is watered down, filtered version; and it still shows); early Vyn was.. let's talk about False Tears. i still think the best interpretation is, yes the emotion is there, and yes he exaggerates it to be comforted, BUT! only because he didn't think he deserved to be comforted (i dont think i explain this well but i can't remember where to find the old thread that actually did lol sorry). also, you know his worldview on broken things that got challenged in <Mended Hearts>? i do think it stems from his vulnerability and helplessness at his own incapability to help.

c) misc.:

early fandom experience is more or less the same lmaoo. oh to be a vyn stan at the start (~first 3 months was severe lol then again there are still. some. yk.) of tot glb... (it wasn't fun)

...daddy issues. vyn is canon while jack is (stolen) hc in the way that a lot of things about his character would make sense

crack time but they would not get along if they ever meet. only surface politeness.

they're both good with their hands; Jack with lock-picking and Vyn with crafting.

lastly, I'd say that before that modern au Jack would be close to Vyn in likeliness, but will never be like him because Vyn's self-confident and while he exudes a poor little meow meow vibes a bit, Jack's too much of a wet cat pathetic man.

---

may or may not add things later (probably no bc this is alr my 2nd time writing this, the other one somehow got lost😭); as expected I'm not eloquent enough to write this kind of things lmao

(ps. i saw your edit on the ask reblog, and don't worry i didn't even think to include that and don't really consider it to be comparison(?))

[ackerfics]

hi, rory! <3 what majors would the sc veterans take if they were in the modern world?

hi, anon !! thank you so much for this ask, this is heaven in disguise from all my schoolwork. tbh, the whole time i was working for a lab report, my mind will go back to this ask bc i wanted to have the association as accurate as possible hhhajshw

i asked one of my friends for help and thank God for them bc my single brain cell really said 'it's time for you to rest' after staring at one backlog. without further ado, here are the veterans' majors if they're studying in university:

first off, hange zoe, because if you ask me this question in real life, they would be the only one i can answer. every damn time i would think of them in a college setting, being a biology major is really hange's forte. at this point, this is what everyone would associate them with.

hange is all about experimenting and doing brilliant breakthroughs in any field of science but knowing that they have this unparalleled fascination with the unusual and unexpected life-forms (ahem titans ahem), the biology lab would be the surest place where you could find hange. i feel like biology is too broad so i will add that microbiology or bacteriology are just some of the specializations they will be taking in their time in college.

imagine, being lab partners with hange and immediately knowing that you will have one of the highest grades in the class because they're that well-versed in a specific lab report. and if you're partners with them for the rest of the academic year, you might as well have a shot at an immaculate grade. i'm not saying that you should depend on them too much though hHHHH, hange is still a member of the majority of the student body who relies heavily on caffeine to keep them invigorated. who isn't at this point?

so far, some of the biology majors that i encountered (well, more like chatted behind a screen — online classes suck), they have this energy that could drain my social battery too quickly and hange fits that description. (note that this doesn't apply to any college bc i observed this in mine soooo 🤭) they're the type to always go on a tangent on a certain science article or coerce you into joining this org thing. i can imagine levi just looking at hange like they're the one sucking his brain cells out whenever they speak about a documentary in bbc they watched the night before.

and if you're stuck on anything biology-related, hange will be the best person to ask help from. they're the first ray of sunlight you get while waking up. they're that approachable.

okay, so erwin smith.

don't come at me but he just radiates this ceo vibes and with that, one of his probably majors is business administration. i know this is so stereotypical of me but let's face it, erwin is a smooth talker through and through and if he doesn't take up marketing, business is one way to spend his college years. knowing his personality in attack on titan of establishing deals easily with a determined resolve, he fits the broadest description of being a business administration major. (again, don't come at me because my consultant for this statement is google and nobody comes after google sometimes hhhhh)

just for the benefit of myself, i will add what google says about this major, "[they] learn the mechanics of business through classes in fundamentals, such as finance, accounting and marketing ... students find ways to solve problems using data and they develop communication and managerial skills." and i thank you.

he's also probably the most well-spoken and most professional when conversing with others among his friends (and i'm not saying this to drag the other characters but this is what i pick up on) and that is exactly the qualities his major specializes. it is expected for them to strike deals and be a people person and who better character for the job than our very own erwin smith 🤩

now i mentioned 'one of the probable majors' and yes, aside from business administration, philosophy just exudes erwin smith. ngl, when i imagined erwin in a college setting, this major will always come first. his mind is just so sexy to me??? and i hope you guys think the same, too, because i don't want to be the only one who thinks that 👀 kidding aside, erwin is one of the smartest people in attack on titan and every time he speaks in one episode, my brain will instantly go mush, and that's what i feel when i hear philosophy majors talk.

philosophy majors (according to any other youtuber who does lookbooks for various majors hhhhhh) challenge what is unanswerable and analyze questions with no right answer. i feel like erwin, like hange, will talk all night to explain a theory. just imagine a date with him and you just listen to him rant about a topic that they should be making a report on. just listen to this man, okay?? it's adorable when he lets his guard down to include you in his little bubble of philosophies. he would also mention random things that he learned in classes, sometimes finding joy in knowing the philosophies of other people, or even deciphering levi's dream of an apocalyptic world. (it pisses levi off but he just leave him be.)

if you want a man who can do both of these majors, erwin smith is the answer 😉

sigh, mike zacharias.

this man holds so many talents and will forever amaze me.

i assume all of us here watched the movie perfume. and no, i'm not saying that mike is going to be a murderer but just like the main character of that film, making perfumes will be his forte with that sense of smell of his. and here, i conclude that mike will definitely take up chemical engineering.

he gives me the vibes that if it covers the one thing he does best, he will love his major. (mr. zacharias, can you please spare me that quality because i really need that now 😩) being in the labs while experimenting mundane things that can be found in the environment to create different scents is also a likely situation you can find him in, again, very much like hange. he's the type of student who really puts so much effort in staying afloat the honors list, even to the point of topping midterms in his major, for the sake of his dream. there will never be a moment where you will catch him complain about his major and professors.

he's that type of friend in college who agrees to any rant you say but in reality, he's got his life easy 😭

i headcanon mike owning a perfume shop after college just like how levi always dreamed of having a tea shop.

okay, imagine this little scenario if you're dating mike where he creates this unique perfumes as random gifts for you. they're not the typical perfumes that can seep through the room and can make you gag for no reason, they're subtle scents that will stay for the duration of the day. because again, he's got a sensitive nose, so making perfumes according to what his sense of smell dictates will always result in a revolutionary experiment. if you're randomly blurting out that you want a fusion of flowers and fruits as your perfume, say no more, he's your man.

now, the veteran who i find the hardest to associate a major with — levi ackerman.

after much deliberation and a break from plant physiology, i see him taking up law or criminology.

(i asked some of this from my mom because she attended law school :>>>)

levi is so organized and detailed in the things that he do and he fits in either of these majors since they require tedious memorizations and analysis of laws and crime scenes while being assertive enough to defend someone. he's the typical person who blurts out the true situation of a crime scene when watching film adaptations. yeah, he's that person, the one who sucks the enthusiasm out of you while watching a movie because he just had to correct some of the scenes. nevertheless, he means well though, he just wanted you to understand the reality unlike how films portray gruesome murders. movie nights always end up with levi ranting about half-assed mystery clichés.

levi's binder of readings are always too bright for everyone's good. his notes are full of highlighters and scribbles that it can blind someone. for one, he's always up all night studying his readings and cases for a practice court so by choosing neon highlighters, it's a way for him to wake up. there isn't one book in his possession that he doesn't highlight like it's a fricking coloring book. hange once jokingly said that his binder now acts like his bible and for once, he agrees because he was never seen without one. hange had a field day since levi never agrees with them.

when doing practice courts though, his go-to resting bitch face always come in handy when carrying out his role as one of the lawyers. he's just so sexy with his hands in the pockets of his slacks as he tries to justify his supposed client. the way he questions the accused definitely isn't hot because he's like one of the panelists in your thesis defense, the one who just comes up with questions that have you melting on the spot. he's dangerous i tell you. it also doesn't help if you accidentally hurt one of his friends or just landed randomly in his blacklist for being annoying as hell. relax though, he doesn't mean harm other than the fact that he's ready to throw some hands from all the pent-up rage he gathered in his body.

of course, i couldn't forget how he dresses up like a typical dark academia fanatic so look out for eye-candy.

if you want someone who can recite articles from the constitution, this man is perfect for you 😌

i had so much fun doing this !! again, i'm not generalizing every major i've talked about in these little headcanons, this is all for fun and based on the people i encountered in college. if you want more of this, don't hesitate to ask !! 😚

[crystalelemental]

Full tier list is here, breaking down the E-tier. I'll be honest, a lot of this tier is where I have general frustrations that aren't enough to make the significant dislike of F, but I have. Problems.

In case anyone was wondering, I am not going into the same depth as the last one.

Zinnia: neat concept, horrid execution. Delta episode sucks and she exudes nothing to me.

Hau: inoffensive but incredibly boring. Don't like the USUM decision to force him into serious battling.

Marnie: should be interesting as your rival, but all the neat stuff went to Piers, so she's super bland.

Malva/Siebold: Kalos E4 members I do not respect.

Gaeric/Calaba/Liam: Pearl Clan members I don't really care about.

Hugh: "You're about to feel my rage." Shut up, dweeb.

Kofu: bland.

Mina: uninterested, also your trial sucks ass.

Sophocles: I will never forgive Festival Plaza.

Molayne: couldn't care less.

Marlon: Centrist.

Burgh: Not flamboyant enough.

Magnolia: should be great! Unfortunately Galar decided to kick the only old lady professor we ever had to the curb for her hot granddaughter. Thanks for that.

Trevor: Dweeb, sucks at his only interest.

Maylene/Norman/Ramos/Wattson/Blaine: uninteresting Leaders.

Lana: Specifically bad in games, anime iteration is much improved. Games all she seems to do is go on about swimmers, which weirds me out.

Wulfric/Ilima: meh.

Giovanni: Loser lord supreme. Never accomplished a single goal his entire life. Literally had an entire criminal empire that kept Kanto in thrall that he probably inherited from his father, and lost it overnight to a ten year old boy and his rat. They keep trying to imbue him with some grand evil importance but he continuously shows us even in Masters that he is an impotent garbage man. I hear the manga makes him neat.

Juan: pointless, they should've done something more interesting to replace Wallace's gym.

Cress/Cilan/Chili: there's a reason you three weren't taking on Plasma.

Clemont: I actually do not like him, and the anime didn't help.

Bea: where are your organs?

Oleana: Actually really frustrating, because people seem to only like her for being blandly conventionally attractive, but she exudes nothing of a personality despite wild over-dependence on a man, and abuses Bede for personal gain. Hate her.

Misty: Never liked her, sorry.

Surge: Bootlicker.

Jacq: Man, I think it's just the "app designer" thing, but he rubs me the wrong way so bad.

Salvatore: actually inoffensive, but they give him nothing at all to work with.

Nita: I kinda like the Maison sisters, but Nita feels bland.

Buck: literally forgot his name.

Lucy: very little knowledge. I did like the anime iteration though.

Argenta: little to go on.

Benga: Kinda hate him after Masters had him talk to Lance. "You haven't been through enough to fight me, middle aged Champion man!" You are like twelve. Cool your jets.

Ortega: needs his ass beat. Not in like a bullying way, but in an "Eri needs to have a very blunt conversation about how manners work."

Mela: I am not compelled. Outfit is atrocious.

Victor: the unfair one. It's Reddit's fault.

Sina/Dexio: I never liked them to begin with, but then someone posited that Diantha could've used her acting skills to do their faux superhero thing in XY to keep infiltrating Team Flare and now I'll never forgive them.

Noland: eh.

Selene: cute outfit, nothing to work with.

Trace?: I hate the Let's Go rival. He's so bland and non-confrontational in every way. He exudes nothing to me.

Chase: Pikachu sucks, deal with it.

Elio: He gives me monkey child vibes. I do not like monkeys.

Juliana/violet boy: Really uninspiring protagonist designs.

Bellis: all you do is talk in different languages at random without reason and I hate that gimmick.

Wicke: exudes nothing but bad vibes. My wife caught it too and we agree, she should've just been evil.

Charon: at least a little funny in how boring he is.

Faba: bland and too expendable, easily dupes people into getting over Lusamine in USUM.

Archer/Ariana/Proton: Team Rocket just sucks, man. Nothing going on at all.

Can I ask your opinion about Shaw’s personalities besides he’s rebel-badboy type??

To me, Shaw is a bundle of contradictions! He is his own unique personality 🦈

I’m not sure how up-to-date you are with Shaw’s content and how averse you are to spoilers, so I’ll keep my response vague but hopefully enough to answer your question!

From the way he talks, dresses, and the hobbies he dabbles in (e.g. extreme sports, rock music, street graffiti), he seems to be very modern and trendy. However, he also has a deep appreciation for history and the past.

He hates being bored, but he’s a graduate student in archaeology, which even his own professor acknowledges to be a boring course.

He exudes an aloof vibe, but he cares deeply and works harder than you can imagine.

He relishes in adrenaline and speed, but his progress with MC is careful and patient.

He’s very spontaneous, but he’s also prepared for various eventualities.

Sometimes, his emotions are as obvious and loud as a clap of thunder. At other times, they’re baffling, unreadable, and quiet.

He’s straightforward like Gavin, yet mysterious like Lucien. 

He has the sharp tongue of Victor, yet his words can melt you like Kiro.

You’ll get to see more facets of his character during his upcoming birthday date in EN :> It was the date which skyrocketed him from outside my radar to overthrowing Gavin’s place temporarily, so I’m really excited to see how the community reacts to it! 💞
