Sword Art Online characters as dogs

This is a completely subjective list. It doesn’t have all the SAO characters. You can expand it if you want. If I hate a character, it doesn’t mean that I have anything against that specific kind of dog.

Oh my dog, what am I doing.

Kirito: a mutt. He’s the dog that first comes off in your head when you think “dog”.  He’s a medium/small size, black with white spots and very slim. A mixture of so many breeds that you really can’t distinguish any of them. He could be a good service/rescue dog with appropriate training or a good motivation, but nobody has any expectations on him because he’s not that special.

Asuna: a white Samoyed. A pure and expensive breed with long hair, considered a really pretty dog. She’s also incredibly strong and playful, which could be tied to how Asuna acts when surrounded by friends, far from her family’s grasp. These dogs are related to the snow, so it fits with Asuna’s surname.

Yui: a small robot dog that looks like a Dalmatian with dark bue spots. She really doesn't know how to be a dog, despite her cutting-edge technology. Kirito and Asuna pick her up like a puppy whenever she has to go up or down the stairs.

Agil: a St. Bernard. A huge, strong dog with an affable and loyal personality and considered a good nanny for children. Considering that Agil is the oldest of the group (dude is 30), works in his bar and spends a lot of time around the group of teenagers, I think it’s funny to think that he’s the “dad/caregiver” of all the others.

Klein: a red Shiba Inu. I had trouble with this one, so I thought “orange and Japanese dog” and boom, there he is. Shibas are apparently decent guard dogs so it fits Klein’s need to protect others. Plus, he’s the kind of guy that would spend hours watching memes, especially old ones and we know who’s the ultimate meme dog.

Lisbeth: a chocolate, short-haired Chihuahua. She’s nervous, easy to jump and attack, but a good dog deep down. You may not see her, but she’s always there to hear all the gossips. She’s not everyone’s taste, but you would miss her if she disappeared.

Silica: a cream sable Pomeranian. She’s small, not very strong, loves to have company and she’s more arrogant than she looks. In this AU, Pina is a tamagotchi that Silica takes everywhere.

Kuradeel: a grey Borzoi. A skinny bitch. Bro is glued to Asuna’s window while singing “Didn’t I do it for you?”.

Kayaba: a German Shepherd. The kind of dog you could feel comfortable with while still respecting him. He’s wayy too intelligent and calm. Not much else to say, Kayaba is boring af.

Suguha: a blue mix of Mastiff and Labrador. She’s extremely buff from training, and can be pretty aggressive, but is overall social and close to her loved ones. Her love might be a bit too much for many.

Sugou: a white and lemon Papillon. A posh and slightly smart dog that can’t win any fight due to how fragile he is. The name of this breed also means “butterfly” in French and in this AU, Asuna is capable of tearing him apart with ease, and that makes me happy.  Thanks to @transboykirito for suggesting this one!

Now if I ever want to draw dogs, I have a place to start. An odd place to start. Maybe I shouldn't have discovered Tumblr.

Somewhere in my head there is a little Sword Art Online/Big Hero 6 crossover plot-bunny that occasionally decides to hop up and ask for attention. (Sadly, it never seems to get any bigger or have any idea where it is going.)

[indecisive-v]

BUT IT'S NOT EVEN THAT MUCH OF A SWEAR :(((

theyre holding a barbenheimer watch session in the tolbana amphitheater omg

[luigi-hentai-expert]

You know, out of all the issues I've heard of people having with SAO, and the way it handles its MMOs, I think the most important one that I've never seen is the fact that kirito's (and presumably everyones) skills and abilities are transferable between game that are all based off the root, and that's fucking hilarious, because imagine playing a game in unity and you grind out whatever it is, and then you go to a completely different game in unity, and you still have those skills. literally what the fuck was kayaba thinking.

[vicsep7250]

Everyone except Kirito.

okay let’s discuss: which sao characters can walk in heels

[princess-of-the-corner]

SAO abridged is has a moment where censoring curse words is acceptable in writing fanfic. Specifically because the Abridged videos censors swear words until the end of the first episode, as Kayaba disables the profanity filter.

HA!

That's great actually!

[archmagetolvan]

I don't know how to explain this but I just finished the locked tomb and John is SAO Abridged's Kayaba Akihiko to me

[sadioradio]

[approximateknowledge]

Since I don't think I've seen anyone else bring it up, can we talk about the fact that SAO had anti-harassment protections? Like, not even touching on the funny thought of Kayaba hunkered down in his mountain shack going, "I can excuse my players killing and robbing each other, but I draw the line at sexual harassment!"

Just... the extra layer it adds to Kirito's hesitancy to open up to Asuna. The way she wants to offer Asuna physical comfort and camaraderie, but can't bring herself to in case either of them have misread the situation and it turns thermonuclear? And the emotional swan dive it took to even attempt to kiss her after the Kuradeel fight?? Like, if that ain't the most clear picture of transbian anxiety, I don't know what is.

this entire thing is *extensively* talked about in the progressive novels, like, "what are even the specific rules?!", because it's not as simple as it seems

and as for why kayaba even put it in?

well it's for the same reason there are in fact some anti-crime systems too, like the cursor colours and the prison system

more coherent than you'd think

(also he didn't actually make it alone, there were other people involved and media coverage of the development, if nothing else it was just covering his ass during development before going mask-off)

anyway yeah kirisuna is lesbians
