tsun what are ur top three fav insane random daisuke skills 🎤

@longerhuman

OAIWHBAJFKJ OH GOD. OKAY. OKAY. SURE.

1 --- lockingpicking/hacking. this isn't an insane skill by itself, hell even i know it's criminal muse 101 but the sheer phantom thief mastery level of Opening Things Up that daisuke has is insane imo. he's canonically picked open a lock with just a random twig from the ground in a LN and always has a pin hidden somewhere in his hair in the manga for manual locks; he can crack electronic ones (which azumano is, contrary to its romantic european appearance, completely stacked and filled with) within as little as 1-4 seconds without even looking. he can crack and/or hack vaults, cameras, lights, vending machines, arcade machines, pachinko machines, phones, (which is really funny imo since he still has his flip-phone,) literally you name it and he can probably open or disable it. there's this really good light novel portion that i love describing daisuke (and daisuke alone!) as dark going through a heist: "the trajectory showed that dark was headed straight for the snow queen. it's always like that. no matter how much manpower or cutting-edge equipment you put in front of dark, it's as if it's completely meaningless, easily and freely invaded."

like it wouldn't matter if you put 24899535 locked doors and walls in front of him, he's going to go right a straight line towards whatever he wants. you can't possibly keep him out of anything, and you can't possibly keep him in; he can't and won't be stopped. THAT'S SCARY, DUDE!!! (though the lns are very firm on insisting he's never like this and forceful/invasive with people and their feelings, which is also so sweet 😭👍) even if he has nothing else on him dark also has his retractable claws/talons, so if a lock's big enough, dark/dai can even use those to quietly pick and click their way into someplace, which is a different kind of insane. lockpicking is something daisuke doesn't get to use much in rp but he has used his tech related skills and dexterity to actually fix some broken things for people. if you have the kind of muse that blows up electronics every other week daisuke's actually someone who's got a good chance at fixing it. he's even basically fixed everything that was going wrong during his school play (lights, sound equipment, etc...) because he was going all out for it lmao

look at him go!!

2 --- daisuke's.... problem solving skills?? it's adjacently related to all a' that ^ up there and not really all that random on the surface but is still a top fav For Me, and can produce some really interesting random thoughts daisuke has every once in a while. daisuke gets assumed to be a clueless airheaded moron a lot and he even calls/believes himself to be stupid constantly, but the fact is he actually has really good problem solving skills and like..... phantom thief ultra instinct. i'm not talking about his duties as a magical girl therapist helping all the live arts through their struggling emotions, i'm talking about portions in the light novels like this:

'the reason for the "please do not lean over" warning on this fence is because the 3d light that is projected from the floor covering the mermaid's tears doubles as a sensor to detect intruders. the security device activates when the light is blocked. daisuke carefully listened as a security guard gave an explanation to two young women who were trying to touch the 3d mermaid.

that means we have to do something about security first.

reflexively thinking that, daisuke scratched his head and said 'no way, are even my thoughts turning into dark's?! i'm not going to turn into dark anymore!'

... and that was only from the first light novel, (hence him attempting to reject dark,) wherein he also basically immediately figures out how a certain sensor / chasing mechanism functions within a haunted house attraction. even when dark is in the one in control of the body and performing a heist, daisuke is still the one who constantly figures things out for dark; he stays quiet and calm and pays very close attention, which is the opposite of what most people assume daisuke and his perpetual freakouts to ever be capable of. although he does this in the first LN and the wink CDs, my favorite quotation is just this tiny portion from the third LN:

dark, who's tormented by the sound itself, may not be able to hear hiwatari's voice. wiz was also shaking his wings in pain on dark's shoulders. ---i have to be strong. daisuke carefully checked the information coming in through his eyes and ears. he wondered why hiwatari was able to remain calm while dark and wiz were suffering so much. daisuke felt something strange as hiwatari approached him. he was louder than usual. not only that, but something else was different.

^ even without full context, you get a feel for daisuke's attitude under pressure; he actually shapes up more and more rather than collapse and drop the ball or start shaking and give up like a lot of people think he would!!! also that 'i have to be strong' is just cute as hell too 😭 dark might be the 'face' of the heisting operations but honestly without daisuke dark would have been legitimately outright screwed over and probably captured a couple of times by now, hiwatari is that good, but likewise so is daisuke despite how disparate they seem as uhhh weird daytime friends and nightime rivals.

3 --- honestly whatever the hell this all is

stop ripping your weird fake skins of people off!!!! IT'S CREEPY!!!

Destiny Hearts - Prologue

Short Pitch : Magical Girls that have moved on with life suddenly being called back into action, with all the silly trappings played straight.

Background: It's been eighteen years. Eighteen long, normal years since you and the other Destiny Hearts put a stop to the diabolical plans of invaders from beyond a magical rift.

Shifting alliances and dire revelations lead to great sacrifices in the name of peace. Still, with the combined magical might of the Destiny Hearts, the Great Magos A'luric lay defeated.

Following the defeat you, Former Leader Carnelian Red, drifted apart from your companions and mentor, guilt and shame at your decisions driving you to isolation and seeking to forget a past you no longer wished to remember. Triggers for [Breakup][Mentions of injury]

Context: Another night, another call from the Destiny Heart. This time however, your partner confronts you over leaving yet again.

Speaker list

[ ] - Sound Effects -> - Partner

Story Start

A pair of sleeping figures lay in bed, in a small bedroom.

[Cute chime of the Destiny Heart, rustling of the sheets, groggy moan]

-> Seriously? This is like the third time this week... Doesn't your work have anyone else they can call? [Rustling of clothing / sharp click of a tongue]

-> What could possibly be so important that so the need specifically *you* for anyway? Wouldn't the owner or your manager be the better choice? -> And that means it has to be you?

[Exasperated sigh]

-> Sweetheart? Can you please stop for a second and look at me?

-> What's *really* going on with you Red?

-> You get calls to run off at all hours of the night, come home bruised and sweaty, and you honestly expect me to believe that it is from your *office* job?

-> You look like you went three rounds with a heavyweight champion in bare knuckle boxing. Is something happening with you? Is there any way I can help?

-> I just want to be supportive, but you've been shutting me out for weeks.

-> Yes, weeks.

-> The first time was just after you got that job. You had a fractured wrist, I drove you to the hospital after you appeared on the doorstep.

-> Red. We've been living together for months, you're more graceful than a cat. Trying to pawn this off like it is no big deal or that you're just clumsy isn't going to work on me.

-> And the black eye from a few weeks ago? The one that you tried to hide with makeup and when I caught you you said you fell into a door handle? Is... Is someone hurting you?

-> I'm asking questions *because* I care Red.

-> No. I can't just let it go... I should never have let it go on this long, but I thought you would have come to me by now.

-> Because you won't give me a straight answer.

->[scoff] You refuse to tell me where you are actually going for a start.

-> No. No you aren't.

-> [sigh] I know because... because I followed you, or... at least I tried to.

-> Yes, I did. A week ago, you slipped out at night, I tried calling you several times. You didn't pick up, so I drove to your office building.

-> I ended up waiting for at least an hour and a half. A night guard came over and spoke to me, said you never showed up. In fact, he said no one called you at all.

-> Please Red. Please just tell me the truth. Is there... someone else? Are they hurting you?

-> There is no one else... but you can't tell me who is hurting you or where you go?

-> I wouldn't believe you? [Raised voice] I can't possibly understand?! Of course I can't! You won't explain a damn thing.

-> Overreacting?! Are you listening to yourself?! I'm worried sick about you. You've disappeared without a word, not returning for several days, and when you do you're battered and bruised yet you act like nothing happened. You've slipped out of bed no less than six times this past month. Whatever the hell it is you are getting up to has you so exhausted that when you sit for even a few minutes you pass out... How *exactly* am I supposed to be taking this?

[Pause] [Destiny Heart chimes]

-> Trust you... Trust you?! How can I possibly trust you? You aren't saying---

[Destiny Heart chimes]

-> Last chance, I love you Red and I want to trust you but whatever **this** is, whatever it is that's happening right now...

[Destiny Heart chimes]

->[Exasperated sigh] Red... I'm gonna leave. When you are ready to talk, we'll talk.

-> You keep lying to my face, evading my questions, you're hurting and you won't say how or why...

-> I'm going to leave.

-> No. Not forever. I just need time.

[Destiny Heart chimes]

-> Go on. Whatever it is seems important.

[Destiny Heart chimes]

-> No. No, I won't be here when you get back. I'll leave my key.

[Destiny Heart chimes]

-> No tears Red... When you think you can tell me the truth... the entire truth, you know how to find me.

[Destiny Heart chimes]

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a little something that has been kicking around in my head for quite a while. It's gonna be split into many pieces otherwise we'd be here for ages.

[bilesproblems]

This is based on a TROLL on TikTok who said "basically I'm a straight lesbian which means I'm straight but I like the lesbian aesthetic." Even though the troll account exposed themselves and said nobody would ever ID as a straight lesbian (despite the fact multigender people and people with split attraction DO), people now think that's a thing the contradictory label community does. That has real consequences on lesboys and mspec lesbians now because when we reclaim our places in lesbian spaces, or our complex experiences with sexuality or gender don't sound "complex enough" to someone with only the labels we use to go off of, then you'll get thrown in with the people "using it for the aesthetic" (a boogeyman that doesn't exist.)

If the person who wrote this sees this post:

NOBODY GENUINELY USES THE LESBIAN LABEL AS AN AESTHETIC. THAT'S NOT REAL. THAT WAS ONE PERSON WHO WAS TROLLING.

ALL lesboys have a complicated relationship with gender or they wouldn't feel like lesbians! Even if they appear like they're just a trans man, being trans itself can cause a complicated relationship with gender and how you label your orientation. NOBODY who is truly a perisex, aptobinary, monogendered cis man wants to call themselves a lesbian unironically. This is another boogeyman that isn't real. The only cis man lesboys are multigendered, on the nonbinary spectrum but still consider themselves cis because they're close to their AGAB, and "men" who are exploring their gender with the lesbian label - it is actually not uncommon for transfems to call themselves lesbians first and then trans second. Or maybe they are intersex and that made them end up having a complicated relationship with gender, how to label their orientation in regards to it, and the cis-trans dichotomy. There is most likely nobody who actually fits the stereotypical idea of what a cis man is (perisex, monogendered, aptobinary, and gender conforming, and without any complicated relationship to his gender) who actually identifies as a lesbian, and if there were, oh well. It's just like one or two guys. That's not an invasion and I'm CERTAIN that guy or those guys would actually indeed have a complex relationship with their gender. Sure some fully aptobinary cis men will jokingly refer to themselves as lesbians when they get rejected by us, but this kind of "no u can't be a lesbian" post won't stop them. They don't actually identify that way.

Mspec lesbians also do not identify as lesbians for the aesthetic. Like I said, that's not real. That was one troll who pretended to be a straightbian. Mspec lesbians and straightbians alike almost all have a complicated orientation. Straightbians are largely multigender, nonbinary, or have split attraction. Mspec lesbians also have split attraction, but we also have abrosexuality, difficult to distinguish orientation, aspec experiences, conditional attraction to men (depending on if there are other genders present), fitting both modern definitions of bi and lesbian (ie, me. I am attracted to women and a vast array of elsegender identities. This means I am attracted to 2+ genders and am therefore bi. This also means I am not a man and not attracted to men therefore I fit the modern definition of lesbian, despite the fact that I hate it as a definition, and am a lesbian), and reclaiming a historically backed identity that was destroyed by TERFs and radfems.

Please, OOP, if you see this: I think you're a good person and I think you'll fully support our communities if you get to know them, but first you have to stop attacking that boogeyman of invaders. They are not real. Nobody is using lesbian as an aesthetic and nobody who's an aptobinary man with no complicated relationship with his gender calls themselves a lesbian. What you'll end up doing is looking for this boogeyman and projecting it onto people without really knowing their relationship to gender, or their orientation, and assuming intentions. Sometimes there is complexity you can't see. Okay?!

occasionally I will see posts like these and I am not sure how some people still miss the point so hard
