they honestly couldve done so much with junpei beheaded/dismembered and im disappointed that it ended up just being mira. so much of his character and his relationship with akane is characterized by his lack of bodily autonomy, and him being openly beheaded during the nonary games would be the ultimate example of this. its perhaps the most brutal death in the game, and it never really gets explained or developed beyond the one puzzle that we get with it. junpei has been shown repeatedly to be subject to akane's plans or follow her blindly and i just think that would have been a really interesting angle to approach his beheading from. junpei has willingly signed up for nonary games in two different timelines just because he knew he would see her. he was infected with a deadly virus trying to find her. he grew desensitized to death as he took underground jobs to try and find her. his safety always comes second when shes in the picture, and his beheading wouldve been a prime opportunity to 1. exploit his willingness to let himself die/be injured for her and 2. make akane confront the fact that her confidence that junpei will always follow after her is not necessarily a positive thing.

Hi there can we get any knowledge for five power or raincoat girl pls?
I've already discussed my headcanon over potential powers for Five here
As for other knowledge, it's difficult to get a read on her personality because she was meant as an identity ruse for Six, and we don't have enough cutscenes to figure her out.
What we do know about her:
-Her nightmare was Six banging on a door, demanding entrance to a shed Five locked her out of.
-She arrived at the Nest in a hot air balloon. There is a photo of a strange bug-looking man with a top hat with the balloon in the background. Five could either be related to him, or she stole his balloon.
-She collects Jack-in-the-Boxes (seemingly with random, disjointed lore, canon and scrapped)
-She's very good at climbing. She can climb cliffs and ladders often without struggle or fatigue.
-She encounters a child with a blue scarf and red hat. She frees them from their cage and assists them with the door. At the end of the game, the Pretender is seen yelling at this child's doll remains. One would think Five would have a connection to this kid, but when Five encounters their clothed doll sitting at the dinner table, Five grabs their scarf and shoves the doll aside, jumping up onto the table and running away without much thought. So with that scene, it feels as though she doesn't have a true connection with them after all.
-It could go without saying, but she is very clever. Easily evading enemies and solving puzzles to escape.
-She finds a matchbox and uses the fire to light lanterns. Because of the game design, she does not keep this matchbox unlike Six who has a seemingly infinite cigar lighter.
-The only time she's seen directly interacting with a Nome is when she offers a red balloon to one to allow it to safely get down from a dresser. She's constantly surrounded by nomes and she often finds their hiding spaces, but she never approaches or hugs them.
-She receives help from Six, having a few brief encounters in the Nest. But when Six has somehow mysteriously collapsed on the ground, Five rushes past her to the shed, looking back. Six wakes up and rushes forward, but Five deliberately locks her out, shutting the door and leaving her to presumably die or be captured at the hands of the Butler. We lack a lot of context here, but on the surface, it appears she left Six as bait to die or be captured by the Butler.
-Even when Six miraculously survives and is seen at the very end, the two I guess(??) set aside their differences and help each other in the event of their survival. Five knocks over a tree to prevent Six from falling to her death, and Six pushes a boulder over to try and kill the Pretender before she can kill Five. Whether Six forgave her or it was a temporary truce, we will never know.
-Five dies (either via impact, drowning, or turning to dust via Pretender) and loses her raincoat
-Because of the inclusion of Little Nightmares 2, despite the game hinting at the raincoat, Six actually did not fish out Five's raincoat from the ocean and instead actually found her own in the Pale City in LN2.
Again, game design limitations could factor into her lack of personality or interactions with the world around her, so again, very difficult to tell who she is as a person. I wish I had more to say or theorize but we have nothing to go on.

i know in reality this comparison goes in reverse but gundam 79 so far is startlingly similar to evangelion in its focus on adolescent ennui via angsting over the piloting of a robot (amuro) and entry into the world of adult relationships (fraw bow vs liutenant matilda and crowley hamon). nge really just said "okay we're going to take these psychological themes and focus only on them".

i'm gonna be honest here, and if you do this and it works for you, don't take this as a personal attack. we all gotta find some way to make it out here.
But i don't really like getting random DMs soliciting commissions. It has the same feeling as a door to door salesmen.
i don't really have any notice asking people not to do this so i just kindly turn them down.
but it's just a bad feeling when folks come in and it's like they're being friendly and wanting to talk but then it turns out the whole thing was a lead up to asking me to commission them.
i'd honestly feel better about it without having all the pretense, you know? i had someone leave a comment on something i draw basically askin the same thing but it was straight to the point "hey, your characters are cool. i'm offering blah blah blah commissions if you're interested."
there was no back and forth, just straight to the point. i like directness. just ask/tell me what you want because otherwise I'm gonna feel like you're trying to butter me up.
